In today's video, I'm going to be giving you 10 different categories, each with one specific product that you should be dropshipping on Amazon right now. These are the top selling products that you can be dropshipping on Amazon, each of which is proven to be a best seller on Amazon. And on top of that, a few of these different products actually complement each other. I like it that way. So you don't have to just stick to one of them. You can actually drop ship all of them. Now to make things a whole lot easier for you, I have all of these different products listed in an easy to reference cheat sheet. I'm going to have the links to the different products on there. And if you want access to that, all you have to do is go ahead and comment down below, hashtag Amazon dropshipping. And let me know which one of these products is your favorite. Once I see that you went ahead and did that, I'll reply back with a link to the sheet. So kicking off this list, the first item category that we're going to talk about is baby products. Now within baby products, there's tons of different products, obviously, because there's a little bit of everything for babies. But the one product that we're going to be talking about in particular is a diaper bag. A diaper bag is an essential in any parent's arsenal. Every single parent needs a diaper bag, especially if they're planning on going pretty much anywhere. So because of that, having a diaper bag that's efficient and essentially full of different pockets is perfect for any parent new or old, even grandparents. So looking through Amazon, looking at a few of these different listings, you can see that the first listings are actually all gray. So this tells you one thing. When it comes to diaper bags, gray is a perfect aesthetic. A lot of people love the gray color. It goes with a little bit of everything that the kids have. But from that, of course, you are going to have a few different colors. So you have black like this one, you have a few more fancy ones like this purple one right here. But really, strictly speaking, in my opinion, as a parent, I prefer things to be a bit more practical. So this right here just looks a little bit too fancy for me. But that doesn't mean that there isn't a niche out there for a product like this or a luxury diaper bag. There's a demographic for pretty much anything. But in this case right now, I'm kind of trying to stay a little bit practical. So we're going to look at a few more practical options. But of course, don't ever rule this out. Don't ever rule out any of the different variations. There is always going to be a target demographic for them. Now just taking a look at some of the ones up here, the first thing that you're going to notice is that they all have a bunch of different pockets. Being a diaper bag, you're going to need different compartments. It's just an essential of the actual product. Now if you want to have an extra wow factor or add a little bit of extra value, then you can go with something like this one right here. So take a look at this diaper bag.  Actually you can put your baby inside your baby bag. Not inside, but you know what I mean. I'm pretty sure that's supposed to be a surprise. So something like this is extremely helpful for parents because it makes one, changing easier.  So if your diaper bag actually has the option to extend into its own little bassinet, then why not? That's the perfect solution for pretty much any parent's travel problems. Next up we have books. Did you know that Amazon actually started off as a bookstore? No. Amazon used to sell only books. It was essentially the online bookstore. But little by little that started changing and they started offering a little bit of pretty much absolutely everything. So one of the best things that you can start offering there right now are definitely books. Now what books am I talking about in particular? Well one example is definitely going to be activity books. Activity books on Amazon are absolutely exploding right now. Amazon wants to have some sort of activity book, whether that be for kids or adults. So looking through some of the kids activity books here, you can see that there's tons of different styles. Obviously, these are all going to have different types of activities for different types of kids and different age demographics. Some are going to be for older kids, some are going to be for younger kids, some are going to be a little bit more advanced, some are going to be a bit easier, some are going to have a bit more puzzles, some are going to have a little bit math, reading, science, things like that. So when it comes to offering different types of activity books, always try to offer something for specific age demographics. So try to offer something that you can offer kids between the ages of one and two and then maybe three and four and then maybe five to seven and then maybe eight to ten, something along those lines. Always break it up by age groups. Now speaking of age groups, we're not just limited to kids when it comes to these types of activity books. There are some that are perfect for adults too. Now what do adults want with activity books? Well, a lot of things. You know, for some it's just a way to keep busy. For some people, it's a little bit of a stress relief, especially if you have those really complicated mazes or maybe some really complicated pictures to maybe color in. These kinds of things are very relaxing. They kind of help you spend the time and they just let you forget about certain things. They let you just unwind at the end of the day and just relax. So the same way that you're going to offer different activity books for kids, I highly suggest you also offer some for adults. Next up we have workout equipment, in particular, resistance bands. Now when it comes to these different types of resistant bands, there's a lot of different variations. There's some smaller ones, some longer ones, some that are used more for a bit more mobility, so some that you're going to use with your hands. There's others that you're going to use more with your legs, which are going to be smaller. Different types of resistances based off of different weights. So just quickly taking a look at the different options from AliExpress, we can see quite a few different variations, specifically all of the ones that I just mentioned. So as you can see these right here, these are a bit smaller than your typical ones. A lot of the times these are going to be used more than anything for legs. Aside from that, you can also see some of the longer ones like these right here. So these right here are actually a lot longer and they're going to be used for more complex exercises. A lot of times these are also going to come with things like these handles right here and a couple of extras, like maybe a couple of extra hooks or something like that. So that way you can strap them or wrap them around a pole, a door hinge or just wherever it is that you're trying to work out. So some smaller ones like these right here, you're going to be using them for more specific movements when it comes to your legs. So they're going to be closer movements.  And of course that isn't necessarily just limited to your legs. Same thing goes for your arms. You can wrap these around a pole and then you can pull them back. Of course they're not going to have as much elasticity as the longer ones, but they can still work. Now if you want to get a little bit more complex with your different types of workouts or you want to advertise this as a more complex workout for your customers, then you can offer the longer ones. So these you can wrap around a tree. You can put them on a door hinge. You can put them through a door. They can be attached to a door, maybe a door knob. Or you can even close the door on these actual bands. And then what your customer's going to do with these is just go ahead and grab them and do whatever workouts they need to. These are going to have a lot more elasticity than the others. So they're going to be able to provide your customers with a completely different type of workout. So my suggestion, offer both of them together.  You're always going to see the shorter ones and then you're going to see the longer ones. My suggestion, sell a bundle of both. I'm not saying don't sell each one individually, but also give the option to purchase both together. So that way your customer can have an all in one package. Next up, we have electronics. And in the electronics category, what we're going to talk about is earphones, specifically in ear earphones. So if you don't know, there's a difference between headphones and earphones.  Earphones are the little ones that you just pop in your ears. Now what's the difference? Well there's a lot of differences. For one, people are not going to use them for the same purposes. Of course, you're always going to see some people out in the streets with some really big headphones. You can see them at the gym. You can see them working out. You can see them at the store. But it's not as practical as using the basic smaller earphones. Now earphones are used for pretty much anything. People are going to use them at work. They're going to use them at school. They're going to use them at the gym, around the house, when they're walking in the bus, in the taxi, in the Uber, wherever it is. If you look to the right, you see somebody with earpods. If you look to the left, you see somebody else with earpods or with any other type of earphone. My suggestion when you're offering these types of earphones, of course, offer different variations, different colors, different sizes. But more importantly, offer some that are going to be sweat proof. Offer some that have a very long battery life. Offer some that can show you the battery life so people don't always have to look at their phone. So look at these, for example, right here. These right here show you the battery life on the case itself. That's very helpful and very efficient. Now remember how I mentioned that some of these different products are going to complement each other? Well, earphones like these that could be sweat proof can go perfectly with resistance bands. People are going to buy resistance bands. And if they're serious about getting into the gym, a lot of people like to listen to music. So they could potentially also be looking for something like this. So people will easily be able to purchase a pair of earphones along with some resistance bands when they're looking for their workout equipment. But of course, that doesn't mean that you're only going to target people that work out for this. You can also target students. You can target professionals. You can target people that go to the gym. You can target people that are just at home all day. People will even use these for gaming. While it's not that common, it's still used. Now, before we continue, I want to show you where we can quickly and efficiently source our different products from. So one of the best places to be able to do this is through the AutoDS marketplace. On here, you have the option to choose between a few different suppliers. So you can go with the AutoDS. You can go with AliExpress or you can go with Amazon. My personal favorite and personal suggestion is always go with AutoDS. The reason being is because we have the fastest shipping when it comes to all of our different products. On top of that, we also have some different private suppliers. Now, our private suppliers have been vetted very thoroughly for one quality and two shipping speeds. So you're never going to be disappointed with the products that we offer on our platform. So just checking out the marketplace through here, I actually went ahead and I looked through electronics and gadgets and then headphones. So now you can see there's a few different items that are related to headphones or earphones. So here you have these right here. If you keep scrolling, you have a few different headphones and there's a bunch of others. So let's take a look at these right here. So these are currently running for $8.74. You have the color, which is in this case black, and they actually have a shipping and processing time of two days. That means this product is going to get to your customer within two to three business days. Now, if you scroll down a little bit more, you have a bit more information. So you have the product info, the specifics, and a little bit of other things. Now, let me show you how easy it is to import this to your marketplace, whether that be your own website on Shopify, eBay, Etsy, or Amazon. So for this, all you have to do is simply import draft, and that's all there is to it. In a few seconds, this will be ready for us to edit in our draft section. So let's take a quick look at that. Clicking on over to our draft section. So taking a look at it over here in our draft section, we can see it's still uploading right now. It's still by 40%, but that doesn't mean we can't make any edits to it. So through here, we can go ahead and edit anything that we need. We can go ahead and optimize the title. We can change the different category, add any tags for our analytics, or we can change the shipping methods. Aside from that, we can also go ahead and change the description. And let me show you one really cool feature about the description and the title. So you actually have the option to optimize it with AI. So directly from the Autodesk system, you can optimize the title and the description using AI. So you have to do pretty much nothing. All you have to do really is just read through it, make sure everything's okay, and you're good to go. Aside from that, we also have the different variants or variations. On there, you're gonna see all of the different options that the seller offers, and you can also change the pricing. Then you have the images and the item specifications. So pretty much everything that you need to do, anything that you need to control, you can do from the Autodesk system. So the next category we're talking about are family fun items. And one of them being board games. Board games bring the entire family together. They get rid of all screen time, no TV, no phone, no video games. It's just family and a game and some competition. While a lot of people might think board games are so outdated, there's a lot of families that still enjoy playing board games. When people get together, they take board games, likes to play a few different games. Of course, it's not always the life of the party, but it's always something extra to do. So that's why this item in particular is actually a hot seller year round. Everyone's always buying different board games all the time, especially right before gatherings. So whether that be right before let's say a Halloween party or maybe a Christmas party or just a general friends gathering, people are gonna look for some sort of entertainment source aside from your typical TV and music. Now looking through AliExpress, you can see a ton of different board games. Now, one very important thing to do here is don't look for anything that's copyright. You're gonna have to look for generic board games. At the end of the day, a lot of the different games that are already out, there's always gonna be some sort of generic version out. So for example, look at this one right here. This is actually from an old game back in my day. That was called Connect 4. I'm pretty sure it's still out and it's still called Connect 4. But this isn't brand as Connect 4. This is a four link chess game, Connect 4. So while it still has somewhat of the name Connect 4 in it, the actual brand isn't Connect 4. Now look at this one right here. So this is actually called Rabbit Trap. This is a Rabbit Trap puzzle toy. Back when I remember watching a few different commercials, there was actually one called Mouse Trap. So it's a very similar game. Of course, it's gonna have its differences, but this is always something cool that you can offer because a lot of people don't have these types of games. They don't have these generic style games. So they're gonna be different than what they already have. So because of that, people are gonna opt in for it. Now one category in particular that I've always said that people do not mind spending a lot of money on is pets. People love their pets. People see their pets as their own kid. So because of that, they don't mind spending any expense for their pet's comfort and their enjoyment. Now when it comes to pets, one of the most lucrative and evergreen products has to be toys, especially for bigger dogs. Personally, I have a Labrador Pitbull and he goes through toys like this. He breaks all of his toys either the same day or if it's a tough toy, he'll break it the next day. So because of that, I'm always having to buy new toys. Now imagine other people that have the same exact dog or multiples of them. They're always buying different toys for their dogs or even for their cats. But for the most part, dog toys are gonna be the ones that are replenished more often. Now when it comes to these types of toys, when it comes to pet toys or dog toys, one thing that I highly suggest is look through AliExpress. Look at the different types of toys there are and see what toys will work best for different types of dogs.  They're not gonna do too much with those. They're not gonna break them immediately. So while you are gonna offer different products for smaller dogs, also offer for medium, large, and extra large dogs. So take the time to do proper product research. Make sure you look up items that are gonna be appropriate for different sized dogs. Now one quick tip that I'm gonna give you is when it comes to sizing out these dogs, people typically go by their weight, whether that be pounds or kilograms. The most efficient way to separate these kinds of items is gonna be by the weight of the dog or the cat for the most part, the dog. Now in this day and age, one thing that a lot of people absolutely love and are looking to have in their own place is some sort of home automation. So because of that, the next category is home improvement with the product being smart home devices. Now when it comes to smart home devices, there's tons of different things you could choose from.  You're gonna have video doorbells.  You have temperature sensors. You also have smart outlets that are controlled through Bluetooth or through a phone app. You have automatic lights, automatic temperature sensors, automatic AC systems. Everything in a house at this point can be automated. You just need to have the right tools. So because of that, smart home accessories is gonna be our next product. Anything in the smart home niche, I highly suggest you offer.  Automation right now is the one thing that everyone wants to do because it just makes everything that much easier. So if you put together a list of different items that can essentially control your house through your phone, then trust me, you have some best sellers right there. Now, having said that, one tip that I'm gonna give you is try to offer a bundle like that. Try to offer a smart house bundle. I don't know if you remember the movie from way back in the day on Disney's smart house. If the smart home does it all, then what's left for me to do? Try to do something along those lines. A little bundle that can have a little bit of everything. So it can maybe include a video doorbell, an external security camera, maybe a couple of lights, an automation switch, something along those lines. Things that are gonna work together to automate the house in one way or another. Now, adding to that another category is gonna be home decor. In particular, we're gonna be looking at computer or desk chairs. Now, when it comes to these types of chairs, there's a lot of different ones. There's gonna be some for work in particular. There's gonna be some that are gonna be for gaming. A lot of people are gonna buy a lot of the ones that are for gaming for both gaming and work, like me, like this one right here, just because it's overall very comfortable and it's very aesthetic, it feels nice, but that doesn't mean that this is the only option. There's tons of different ones. So look at some of the different options they have here. So they have your typical gaming chairs, like this one right here. Some are gonna be a bit wider. Some are gonna have a few different colors, a few different materials. Some are even gonna have a few different features. Like this one right here can swing back, it can be adjusted. This one actually comes with a massager, which I think is really cool. And then you can have some other really cool ones, like actually the one that I have right now actually has speakers behind it. And to actually connect to those speakers, it actually comes with a Bluetooth that you can connect to your phone. It's really cool, it's really efficient. And it's something that every chair is gonna have, but this is a gaming chair. So this feature is something that a lot of gamers are gonna like. Let's say somebody that works from an office or somebody that works from home, they might want something a bit different.  So a massager on your back while you're working, what could be better? Now keep scrolling through all the different ones and let me actually show you one right here that stood out to me. So this, the cross legged office chair, this chair right now on TikTok is absolutely popping off. I have seen an ad for this everywhere. I've seen videos for this everywhere. People are loving this chair. Why? Because it's wide. You can sit on it, you can cross your legs, and you can just chill. That's actually why it's called the cross legged office chair. So looking for different types of products like these, some that are unique, have unique features, and can be targeted towards a particular demographic, these are best sellers.  Now speaking of gaming and gaming chairs, right now gaming is probably at its all time highest. Everyone games, nobody is embarrassed about it anymore. Nobody is being made fun of because they play video games.  So a lot of people really were hesitant to say that they played games or that they were even a gamer. Personally, I never cared. I played all I wanted and I could care less what people thought. But nowadays gaming is widely accepted. There's even eSports at this point. Now because of that, one huge accessory in the gaming market. Now gaming headsets come in a few different options. For one, the biggest difference is gonna be the style. So as you can see, they have some really cool ones like this one right here, but then they also have some more basic ones like this one right here. Aside from that, you can also find some that are RGB like this one here, has different types of colors on it, they light up. Now aside from the aesthetic of it, when it comes to the functionality, these headsets for the most part are gonna be used when people play against other people. Now that's not always the case, but for the most part, a lot of people use gaming headsets when they play against somebody else or when they just wanna play by themselves and really immerse themselves in the game. Headets really help you immerse yourself into whatever you're doing, whether that be watching a movie, watching a show or playing a video game. And because of that, sound quality is of utmost importance. You need to have good sound quality. So always make sure you look at the reviews. Make sure you look at the reviews for the actual product and make sure you look at the reviews for the seller. Now another feature that you're always gonna find on these is a built-in microphone. For the most part, the mic is gonna come like this. So it's gonna be a little external microphone that sticks out from the actual headset itself. Other times though, it will be located on the wire. But if you wanna have a more efficient headset, if you wanna be able to offer a more efficient headset, always offer the ones that have the microphone sticking out from the actual headset. Don't go with the ones that have it in line because that's always moving and it doesn't always sound the best. The category we're gonna talk about is jewelry. In particular, fashion jewelry. Now what exactly is fashion jewelry? So fashion jewelry is pretty much just your typical jewelry that's not necessarily luxury. It's more trending items, things that are in style right now. And for the most part, it's gonna be a little bit more affordable than your actual gold and silver necklaces. A lot of the times these are gonna be stainless steel. Sometimes they're gonna be dipped in gold. Sometimes they're gonna be copper. They're gonna be a few different materials, but they're not always gonna be solid gold or sterling silver, but they can be dipped.  So you're gonna see a few items like this one, like an initial necklace. These are the perfect example. These are huge sellers on Etsy. You also have different types of earrings, different types of rings. And as you can see, these are obviously all a lot more affordable than a solid gold piece. Look at this one right here. This actually is only $3.08. And look at how many sets of earrings it has. This is fashion jewelry. Jewelry that is a bit more generic, but there's a lot of different styles. This is what makes it so appealing. And the best part for us as drop shippers is that people are not gonna buy just one.  So they can buy a set of earrings and maybe a necklace to go along with it. Or they can buy a watch and maybe a bracelet to go with it. Now, the reason that I like drop shipping jewelry more than anything is because it's the perfect gift. You can give it whenever, you can receive it whenever for any occasion, whether that be a graduation, Valentine's, birthday, Christmas, or simply just to give something. Jewelry is the perfect gift for any occasion. And with that, we have concluded the top 10 products that you should be drop shipping on Amazon right now. Remember to go along with this video. We do have the cheat sheet and to get access to that. All you have to simply do is go ahead and comment down below hashtag Amazon drop shipping and let me know which one of these products was your favorite.

Hello there everyone and welcome. This is Melissa Armo with the Stock Swoosh and happy July 4th everyone. Hard to believe July 4th is in one week from today. So we're halfway through the year, almost a few days left in June and 2022 is flying by. So earnings season begins, not the week after July 4th, but the following week. So it's the second week in July. Why is earnings season significant? It's significant because that's a time when there are a lot of gaps. So there are a lot of gaps in earnings. There are bullish gaps, there are bearish gaps. I don't predict how the stock is going to gap. I wait until it gaps and then I use my golden gap rating method to rate it when I see it. So the whole purpose of taking the golden gap course, if that's something you wanna do, is you will learn how to rate bearish gaps. We mostly short. And again, this is a process that I go through daily, each and every single morning. And when I find a gap that rates per the system to meet the criteria, then I will look to do the setup on a day as an option or a day trade or both. So this is an opportunity for people to sign up, get in before earnings season starts, then get the benefit of earnings season when it begins at the beginning of July and then do the full on class in the month of July when I'm doing the class. So this is a nice special for people who are interested in not only the class, the method learning, but also day trading and options. If you have questions, you can email me at melissathestalkswitch.com. You can call me at 929-3200 gap. You can follow me on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube or Skype. So happy 4th of July, everyone. It's one of these times of the year where you should just take a break, take the weekend off, relax. I haven't checked the weather for New York City. We've had some nice weather. So I'm looking forward to taking a break for a long weekend myself. The Golden Gap special for July 4th is if you sign up for the Golden Gap course combo, it includes the following, the Golden Gap course and the Trends course. So the Golden Gap course is July 23rd and 24th, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time and the Trends course is July 26th, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Eastern time. The combo class tuition is 74.99. So you would receive two classes. It's Saturday and Sunday, the 23rd, 24th and then Tuesday, the 26th. If you sign up for the Golden Gap course combo by July 4th, one week from today, you will receive as bonuses, really nice bonuses for free. The stocks will show live trading room for one year and the Gap Options newsletter for one year. Again, this ends, meaning you must sign up and pay by July 4th. You can start in the room then July 5th. You can start this week if you wanna sign up this week. This special starts today. It's valid from today through Monday the 4th. It will not be extended and there's no exceptions for that. You get two classes plus the run for one year and the options newsletter. This is a great deal. You're gonna learn it. And again, people always ask about the Trends class. That's a really good class if you're interested in doing options because it teaches long-term trends and it's good also if you wanna do swing trading and it also helps you with your day trading. If you would like to sign up, again, you must email me for sign up forms at Melissa at thestockswish.com and then you can register as long as you register by the 4th. So 2022, like I said, is halfway over but you still have time to turn your year around. If you're not on the path to achieve your trading goals for this year, stop and take a break. Again, holiday weekends are a good time to reevaluate. Sometimes just being quiet by yourself and thinking is this something that I really wanna do? And if it is, what changes can I make so that I can be more successful and that I can actually create the life I want and make this happen for myself? That's something that you have to sit down and evaluate. For a lot of people right now, especially going into the July 4th holiday, it's about financial independence. People are feeling cramped with inflation. They're looking for places to earn extra money. Trading the market is chunking it out. You're pulling money out of the market on a regular basis. This is not long-term investing. And if you're looking for a way to have extra money coming in, you must take the proper steps to get to that point to do that, which is learning first, then trading, and then you move forward so that, again, in a month from now, two months from now, by the end of the year, you're on track to meet your goals for the calendar year. This was a nice trade that we did. It was kind of unexpected. This was a gap. This is UAL. Stock close to your gap down, fell, okay? This was a short. Again, I like to short. This was a day trade that we did. Entry was 36, shares was 5,000. On an advanced trade, a risk of 3,000. Exit was 35, 28, profits 3,600. This was a nice trade. This was a really, really, really, really, really nice quick trade in and out. And again, I look to do everything on the one minute chart when I'm doing the day trades fast. So again, here's the gap. Stock close to your gap down, lift in. We didn't do this aggressively. We did it in here, got the drop. It kept going. It continued down. I said, it's probably gonna get to 35. We get out of it before there. It actually broke 35. It was a nice move. I like to do the fast trades and get it in at early. That's what we did here, out, done. Most of the day trades were done by 10 a.m. Eastern time in the morning. Then, as far as options, members talking about the options newsletter for one year is included in this special too. Some people just like to do options. Learning the reigning system, though, really helps you to do the options. So I always encourage people to learn. Learning, learning, learning helps you get the conviction and also make good decisions. So the SPI 409 puts a cloud on the ninth. This was June 9th, expired 617. Let's take a look at what this one did here. Well, actually, this was the price of this one, 575. Two contracts for beginner risk was 11.50, sold at $36, profit of 6,050. This was a 526% return investment trade at this exit, but I wanna tell you it was even bigger because it fell even further afterwards, but the reality is you have to choose where you're gonna get out. I don't think it makes sense to hold something to the last day. This did continue. Again, ninth here was here. I called the 409 puts. You see where it went. Into the drop, a huge trade. It kept going. It almost got down to 360. It was almost $50 to the strike by the last day. Not that anyone should have held it. So it was way more even than 500% return investment if you held it, but I don't think that's something that people should do when they're up this much money. It was a beautiful trade. It really was. It just fell like a rock. Again, a put is assured. We do puts, we do calls. Can you do a put in every gap down? No, no, you can't.  Can you do a call and every gap up? No, you can't. Same thing for the day trades too. The whole purpose of learning the method and the rating system is to determine when you can do it and where you can do it. And what are the entries? What are the targets? And what stocks can you do it on? Or the market, okay? So again, this is what we're reviewing the class. So the live trading room is a live trading room that's open every day at 9 a.m. Eastern time. We're in and out quick between 9 30 and 10. You've got to be there before 9 30. They're earlier than better to prep and get ready. This is an equities trading room, not an options room for the quick day trades. I also discussed the market in the room. If you're thinking about doing something extra where you want to work for yourself, that's what this is. You're not signing up for some job with someone.  I wanna work for myself.  I'm gonna take upon myself to make more money and learn something which will benefit you in a downturn economically and an upturn economically. It's taking upon yourself. There's an investment to do that. The investment is financial. It's time. Hard work pays off in the end, people. How long it takes you to learn it is totally up to you. I am here though, again, doing the class once a month so people can learn. When I do specials like this for July 4th though, I think they're extremely important for people to take advantage of them because I don't do specials like this every month. It's a huge offer. And the timing with earning season right around the corner makes it very advantageous to start trading because of the fact that we get big movers just like that spy with the ROI of over 500%. We get a lot of gaps with big movers and big momentum at lots of things to trade during earning season. So follow the process. If you take the class using a checklist, you go through and you rate it every morning. So again, the main class, the bread and butter strategy, the system that I teach is the golden gap course. So this is what you would sign up for. The combo includes the trends and the golden gap. You want to sign up for this standalone at $69.99, July 23rd and 24th, 90 a.m. to 5 p.m. Eastern time. Class is online. You can be anywhere in the world and take it, email me. Again, the July 4th special is a great deal. It's sign up for the golden gap course combo. You get the golden gap course in July, the trends course in July, and then you also receive the trading room free for one year and the options newsletter free for one year. It ends July 4th. If you have questions, email me at melissathestalkswish.com. Have a great day, everyone.

Greetings and welcome to the Introduction to Astronomy. In this week's special topic in astronomy, we are going to talk about the concepts of apheleon and perihelion and what these mean in terms of orbits. So let's go ahead and look at what these mean. What are apheleon and perihelion? Well, let's first basically talk about the orbits and we know that the planets orbit our sun in elliptical orbits and that means that the distance between the sun and planet changes. So we call the closest approach of the planet to its star perihelion and the greatest distance of a planet from the sun is apheleon. Now we can see those in the orbit here as we watch this move around and its closest approach here on the left hand side, that would be perihelion. That is when the planet passes closest to the sun and on the opposite side we would have apheleon when the planet is furthest away from the sun. Now these are the general terms. We can look at these in terms of another orbit. Let's take one look at another orbit here and we can see them labeled and we see the perihelion on the left hand side, same as in the previous one. So that is perihelion when the distance between the planet and sun is the least. Apheleon over here when they are the greatest. So that's the largest distance. Now these are general terms for these are periapsis and apoapsis. That applies to any object. If you're just talking about an orbit, we use the general terms of periapsis and apoapsis. Perihelion and apheleon apply with the suffix here that perihelion for helios or sun apply to things orbiting the sun. When we talk about things orbiting Earth, we use perigee and apogee. And objects orbiting Jupiter, such as the Juno spacecraft, will have a perijove and an apojove. So when Juno comes closest in, it has perijove when it's closest into the surface and when it's furthest away it would have apojove. And similar for satellites orbiting the Earth, they are a G when they are closest and apogee when they are furthest away. So really the two terms are related to the closest and furthest distances of a planet from the sun, although they can be generalized to talk about orbits around any other object as well. So let's finish up with our summary here. And we talked about how planets follow elliptical orbits around the sun. And that means they're going to change their distance. Closest approach is perihelion. And the greatest distance away is called apheleon. So that concludes this special topic on apheleon and perihelion. We'll be back again next time for another special topic in astronomy. So until then, have a great day, everyone. And I will see you in class.


So after one exciting start to the season, that was, I think we certainly know it's safe to say that the season is well into our underway now. I thought it was a great game for both teams, similar to the game we played against at home in Aschit. Great advert for the division, first games of the season can be KG first sometimes but some of the football played out there today was very, very good and I felt we deservedly won the game, it looked like we'd have to take the point but I don't think Stephen Presley could have any arguments about the outcome. And what character show-ins was certainly from the first equaliser just for a half time and then obviously the second one, the one that's most prominent in most people's minds, obviously you know literally they equalised 89 for a minute got the over-ended score on the 90th minute, you know great character show-in there. Yeah that's right you know it's, you know we said to the lads before the game but you know there's a couple of things we want to see today, one to implement the game plan, how we set out, we're going to play against commentary, we knew they'd play the three at the back and roll out the back and we had to be positive in our closing down, when we did that we got success, when we retreated as a team they got into the rhythm but the second part of it was that we had to put a marker down in front of our home supporters to show them what we're all about, to show them what it is to wear a braverture, the commitment, the drive and the passion and I think we did both sides of the game today and that resulted in a fantastic winning goal. You talk about putting the marker down for the home fans obviously, a new look team I suppose, a few new faces for the fans to see and there's so many great individual performances to come out of today. Yeah I think it is unfair to single anybody out because I felt one to eleven, you know we were very good, you know we said to the lads about the atmosphere can be generated in this ground but equally you know it's often up to the team to inspire that from the supporters and I felt the first tackle, the first header, the first run, the first cross kind of lifted the crowd out of the seats today and once this crowd get up for it you know that's they can make some noise and it made a great, great help for us today.


OK, this 5.7 is an interesting problem here. We are trying to compare the prices of two fuels. Natural gas, which sells for $9.74 per MCF. And we also have oil that sells at $0.99 per gallon. We're trying to compare the prices of these two and choose which one is the best fuel or cheapest fuel. So we need to calculate the price per million BTUs so that we can compare these two fuels. And we also know the furnace efficiencies of each of these. Natural gas furnace efficiency is 0.9. And we know the oil furnace efficiency is 0.8. It's given. So we need to calculate the actual cost and compare the costs. Natural gas, actual cost, will be cost per unit fuel, which is $9.74 per MCF divided by the heating value per unit fuel. Heating value for this one happens to be 1 million BTUs per MCF. And we have to multiply by the efficiency here in the denominator, which is 0.9. So the natural gas price turns out to be $10.82 or 83 cents per million BTUs. When you do similar calculation for oil here, the actual price per unit is $0.99 per gallon here. And how many million BTUs do we get per gallon? 0.13 million BTUs. We have done this before. Have to have the same units here, gallons and gallons and MCF and MCF here in this case. And times the efficiency is 0.8. So the price works out to be $9.50 per million BTUs. Same million BTUs would cost $10.80 for natural gas, and oil would be $9.50. So oil is cheaper.


Differences in teaching monolingual and multilingual ELEFL groups I am currently working as an assistant language teacher in Japan. Before I began this job I assumed that because Japan has a largely homogenous population, all of my classes would be monolingual. However, I was wrong in this assumption. In addition to my Japanese students, I have many students who are Brazilian or Filipino. These students largely do not use Japanese as their mother tongue and have to learn both English and Japanese as a second language. This diverse student population, in addition to my work experiences and studies, has taught me a lot about working with both monolingual and multilingual classes. Teaching monolingual classes In the few monolingual classes that I teach, it is fairly easy to anticipate and resolve problems that students might have with learning English. I understand a fair amount of Japanese and the head classroom teachers I assist are native Japanese speakers. Through our understanding of the rules of the Japanese language, we understand where Japanese speaking students might struggle in learning English. Applying that knowledge, we can easily design classes based on addressing anticipated problems that affect every student. Struggles in multilingual classes Compared to monolingual classes, anticipating and addressing struggles in multilingual classes requires a more individualized approach. The Brazilian and Filipino students in my schools have a wide range of language abilities. Some students speak only Portuguese and have to learn both English and Japanese from square one. Others might speak English plus Tagalog or Portuguese fluently even if they can't speak Japanese. Still, others might speak Japanese plus another language fluently yet struggle with English. Understanding students as individuals and providing proper support to both students and head classroom teachers is key in such cases. Personally, understanding the needs of each class and adapting my teaching style to suit is challenging. As an assistant teacher, I visit multiple schools and multiple classes in one week. This makes it difficult to get to know students individually. In addition, I have little to know, say in how classes are designed and implemented. However, through observation and reflection, I have begun to understand certain approaches to teaching monolingual and multilingual classes and have figured out small ways to support my students. How my TEFL course helped? Studying material in the online TEFL TESOL courses has been an especially helpful tool for reflection. For example, Unit 20 of the 120-hour online course, troubleshooting, addresses possible approaches for classes with multiple language abilities. I have noticed that my head classroom teachers largely take the approach of having all students study the same material. Much of my school's cultures are centered around group work. I get the impression that in ensuring all students learn the same material, teachers hope that stronger students will help weaker students. In many cases, this actually does happen. If an individual student is called on to answer a question and struggles to answer, students sitting nearby will jump in to offer some help. This works in monolingual and multilingual classes despite differences in native languages because English is the common language between my students. Using students' native languages as useful tools. However, my students' native languages are useful tools in class as well. Multiple units in the 120-hour online course and the Teaching English to Young Learners course support this idea. From my observations, this concept applies to both monolingual and multilingual classes, but is sometimes more essential in multilingual classes. For example, all test questions, assignment instructions, and lectures at my school's lower grade levels are delivered in Japanese. For Japanese-speaking students, the majority of students in all classes, this is helpful for clarifying class activities. For students who have yet to learn Japanese, this is a reason they might struggle with tests and assignments. I have noticed that students who do not use Japanese as their native language might easily become bored in class or delay starting assignments simply because they do not understand what they have to do. In these cases, support teachers are often brought into class to help individual students understand. But from this, I have learned that the use of students' native languages in English should be considered and applied carefully. This is especially true in multilingual classes. What monolingual and multilingual classes have in common? Despite all of their differences, one thing that is absolutely universal between monolingual and multilingual classes is demonstrating the relevance of learning English. The Japanese education system is heavily centered around standardized testing. Students must take tests in order to enter high school and university, and English is always featured on these tests. In that way, one need for learning English is made obvious. A major role of my job, however, is proving to students that there is a need for English outside of testing. I make a point to respond to students in English so that talking to me becomes of means and a reason to learn English. I have also created spaces outside of class where students can study English that is more suited to their interests. For example, I run lunchtime activities where students and I play English board games or card games together. Multilingual and monolingual students with high ability or interest in English often participate in these activities. Maybe these students find certain class activities boring or too easy, but through these activities, they can practice language skills in the practical everyday setting of playing games. Are you ready to teach English in Japan? In summary, effectively teaching multilingual and monolingual classes requires a competent understanding of each class's students and the students' needs. It also requires keen observation, flexibility and sometimes extra resources. Each class setting has its advantages and disadvantages and neither is impossible to work with. I am incredibly happy to have experience working in both kinds of classroom environments so early in my teaching career and I am excited to learn more from my classes.

Namaskar, I am Prabhupada Devade Purkayastha from IIT Bombay. Welcome to my course, Business Fundamental for Entrepreneurs Part 2, External Operations. This is the first module of a four-week, eight-module course. This module is about how do you study markets and competitors? But before I get into the module itself, let me share with you the overall discussion flow for the course. So today, we'll start with the big picture of how do you research the market, how do you research competitors and players and products and technologies? In the next session, we'll drill down into customers and customer segments, which is very important to build your business. After that, we'll get into marketing, value-based marketing, and then the elements of marketing communication, branding, positioning, advertising, etc. Once you do that, in week three, we'll get into sales channel and distribution as well as selling. So you move from marketing into selling. In the final week, week four, we'll talk about customer service and customer loyalty and customer advocacy, and how do you make sure customers stay with you for always? And then the challenges of supply chain. So this is the course flow, and today's module, here is the flow of topics. So we'll start with basics of what is marketing research, and then I will talk you through why do you need market research? What are the methodologies and ways of researching the market? And then if you choose a career in market research, which can be a very rewarding career, what are the skills that you need to develop? Let's start with what is market research? Market research is a systematic study of markets and trends, emerging trends in the market, because customer habits and markets always change. So how do you research that? Also how you research customers and your competitors and products and the technologies that lead to better and better products. So why do you want to do market research? The objective of market research is to help companies and market years to better understand and fulfill the need of the customers. Because customers have needs and we'll talk about them. And market research helps to fulfill those customer needs. Market research can also importantly help you understand threats to your business. New competitors, new technologies, new products, which can almost destroy your business. And finally, a study of emerging technologies can actually help you create better products or improve your product offering. So let's start diving into why market research. Let's look back a bit and look at famous brands and famous companies and famous products which have failed. And I've got a few examples here and you may know of many more. The first is Kodak. Through the early 20th century, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, etc., Kodak was synonymous with photography, Kodak films. And it almost was a near monopoly. But that brand died. Because they could not adapt to newer camera forms and newer ways of photography such as electronics cameras and phone cameras. Another brand, Nokia, a very famous dominant phone brand with huge market shares in India and outside of India. And it failed maybe because the management lost touch with the emerging trends, emerging technologies that Apple and others brought into the market. And emerging need of the customer because by that time iPhone, etc., would give you the swipe feature. And there are other stories like that, Motorola, BlackBerry, which is one of the first smartphones, but it died. Commodore was a huge personal computing brand before the IBM PCs, etc., came on. But it failed maybe because the management lost sight of what's happening in the market or new products and new technologies. But it is only for technology products that we need market research. Let's look at data in India. So this is a Nielsen study which was published in Economic Times and it talked about FMCG, fast moving consumer products, soaps, detergents, shampoos, etc. What is the rate of product failures? And if you can read what's on the screen, only 0.14% as reported by the Economic Times, only 0.14% of all the products that were launched succeeded. Failure rates are very high. So there are large companies, global companies and Indian companies which actually research the market and the customers and the consumers and products and technologies and trends. And some of these are Nielsen, Kantar, Ipsos, Gartner, etc. And we can go to the websites and look up what they do. And essentially what they do is they provide market research data to large companies like retailers or manufacturers. So that's why you need market research with companies, that's why companies need market research. And that's what this big global market research companies do. What is the process? What is the process of market research? And I'll talk you through a definition of what is research, whom to research, how to research, when to research, how do you analyze your research findings, and then what kind of skills you need to build. So let me take you through the market research process and the journey that you may want to embark on. So what to research? It could be a basic business problem that all companies face. Maybe the market shares, the share of the market for your company is falling. Why is it falling? Maybe your volumes and revenues are not growing as fast. Why are they not growing as fast? Maybe the pricing and the profits are low or falling. Why? Maybe new products and players have come to the market. Who are they? What do they do? Are they better than me? Are they better than my future plans? And there can be trends in the market or in customer and consumer habits. And there can be new technologies which are coming up. So these are the business problems that you may want to research. And then you have got customer specific questions that you may want to ask. What are the needs of the customers that are not being met by current players, current companies, current products? Are the customers satisfied or dissatisfied? Because if customers are dissatisfied with another company's product, it is an opportunity for you either as a startup or as an employee to meet that need which nobody else is meeting. But you need to research that. And then how do customers actually use your product? Because once you understand the usage and habits, you can keep adding features and benefits to your products. So these are some of the things that you can research. And then the next question is, whom do you research? Of course you research consumers to see what they are using, how are they using, how often are they using? What price are they willing to pay? Customers. So consumers are the users. So it could be you who is watching this video or me, we consume the product. Customers are basically retailers who are buying from the manufacturers and selling to consumers like you and me. So it could be a Kirana store, it could be a modern trade, it could be an e-commerce site. So you need to research them and find out what are they selling? Channels. We'll talk a lot about channels in one of the future sessions. But channels is all about traditional small stores or malls or e-commerce platforms. These are channels. What are they doing? Companies.  Who are the companies who are not today in your line of business but may enter and threaten your business? Categories. Categories are basically collection of FMCG goods. Soaps is a category. Shampoo is a category. Within that category of shampoo, let's say, there are brands like Head and Shoulder or Pantene or Clinic or Dove. But the entire category is declining or growing. Your brand will also get impacted. So you can't just look at your brand, you have to look at the category itself, which is a collection of all the brands for the consumer. You also have to look at countries. A, because if you're successful in India, which countries can you go out to? And B, are there companies in other countries of Malaysia or Indonesia or US or Western Europe that can come into India and threaten your business? Communicators are basically television or social media influencers, etc., who are communicating and talking about different brands, different businesses all the time to the common public. And you need to keep a track on what are the TV channels doing? What are the advertisers doing? What are the social media influencers doing? And of course, colleges even. So all of you in colleges are consumers today as students. But as you grow older and become more successful, you'll consume more and more products. Today, you may not have a car. You may buy a car one or two years later. You may not have a house today. You may buy a house five years or ten years later. You also need to, therefore, research what's happening in the colleges. So this is whom to research. I talked about what to research, whom to research. So let me give an example of some of the questions that you can ask, specific questions that you can research. You can read it yourself on the screen, but let me call out one or two that's on the screen. For example, if you're working for a company, you may want to research what is a market share? Is it 10% of the market, 20% of the market, 50%, 70% of the market? Are you growing? Are you going 50%, 55%, 60% or are you declining? Is it 50%, 45%, 40%? And if you are losing, who is gaining? And if you're gaining, who else is losing? Because the market is totally 100 and you have a share of the market. You can research your competitors and ask those questions on the screen. You can look at habits of the customers, like who is currently buying your products? Men, women, old, young, rich, poor, urban people, rural people. So who's buying your products and services and why they're buying? If a product is selling well in North India and not selling in South India, why are the North Indians buying it and South Indians not buying it? So these are the research that you can do. Importantly, who's not buying from you? Because those are your opportunities. How are they buying from small stores or malls? From e-commerce sites or from the direct website, the company website? Also the prices?  If you increase your price, can you also grow your volumes so the revenues go up? Or if you increase your price, the volumes will fall. All this you have to research. Some more of those questions are put out on the screen. How can you improve your current offering? And then perception studies, if you look at the fourth paragraph, how is a brand perceived? Is it seen as a prestige brand? We'll talk a lot about branding in one of the later sessions. But how is a brand perceived? For example, if you look at apparel brands, how is Nike perceived versus Adidas? How is Levi's perceived versus Wrangler's? Cars, how is Maruti perceived versus Mahindra? How is Coca-Cola perceived versus Pepsi-Cola? It's a brand perception. So all of these questions will help you continuously build your business, your volumes, your profits, because you can proceed and make your plans scientifically based on data. And therefore you have a higher chance of success. With that, now I encourage you to reflect for three minutes. In this course, in every session, we will pause for three minutes when you can reflect and you can write down. I encourage you to have a journal for the course where you write down some of the key points and you write down what you have thought about once you've heard me speak. And I'll give you some specific questions which you can reflect on.  So this is the first reflection point of the first module. And what I encourage you to do is think of a product that you would like to research. If you're an employee, you may want to research your company's product. If you're an aspiring entrepreneur, you may want to research a product that you want to launch in the market. So the question is, why do you want to research it? For what? To launch the product? To grow your sales? To grow your revenues? To find out about the customers who are using the product? Who will you research? And then draw up a list of questions that you may want to ask your customers and consumers. So what are the questions that you'll ask as part of your research? So reflect.


Mr. Speaker, it's a very sad day in our Parliament when people are called upon to make representation on behalf of the people who elected them through the democratic process, will come in, make a contribution void of content, just parading void of content, void of substance, parading on an ego, Mr. Speaker, then leave the chamber and not here to listen to the refusal of what one can safely say will a series of misinformation. Mr. Speaker, today the Prime Minister has tabled a motion to borrow some $202 million for, among other things, the completion of St. June. Mr. Speaker, St. June is very dear to me. For those who don't know, I hail from the eastern village of Miku in this country. My daughter, who has now occupied international chairs and has been seen globally on CNN and other media network was born at St. June. So St. June is very dear to my heart. And so today, without an aorta of doubt, without any dint of apprehension, I wholeheartedly, Mr. Speaker, support the motion for the borrowing of this money for the completion of St. June, among other things. Mr. Speaker, I first want to, ah, thanks. I first want to, Mr. Speaker, of course, I'm a little confused now. I'm not sure that I'm infected if John this, but I know I'm seen correctly, yes. Mr. Speaker, I first want to visit the terms and conditions of the loan. A 20-year loan, 20 years, five years' grace, five years' grace, yes. That means less less. Interest rate at 2%. And I will deal with interest rates, Mr. Speaker. My zeal has now returned instantaneously because today this house is witnessing borrowing at 2% per annum. But yet, on the eve of an election, a prime minister had the audacity to forward for signature an agreement with a penalty clause of 1% per day. But I'll get there. 1% per day. And if this is not a financial atrocity against the state, it amounts to treason in my books.  The member for Casteries East did negotiate a loan at 2% per annum on a reducing balance. That is a master's true, totally unprecedented. Not giving DFCs at 8% per annum, or doing the airport at a total combined interest rate of 15%. But I'll get there. I'll get there. So yes, Mr. Speaker, 20 years, five years' grace, 2% per annum on a reducing balance, and Mr. Speaker, I challenge anyone, anyone of the technocrats, politicians, or otherwise, to give me any comparable loan with those terms. Tell me, when last in the history of this country of ours have we borrowed money on those terms? I want somebody to tell me. I want somebody to tell me. Mr. Speaker, I see a light on you. And the point of order, Mr. Speaker, in fact, the money that we borrowed from the World Bank was 40-year money, 10-year moratorium at a half a percent. Mr. Speaker, you know, when one has habitually cultivated the habit of speaking on truths, whatever he or she says, you take it with a grain of salt. And unless I can see documentation in substantiation of anything said by the leader of the opposition, I will take it with a grain of salt and totally disregard it. Because if I were to ask him for the 23 islands he promised to build, I cannot see them yet. If I were to ask him for the 840s, I will not see them yet. If I were to ask him, didn't he say Grenada raised the gas by $11? And in less than five seconds, he said, he never said that. You would understand why I am totally apprehensive about believing anything he says. So, Mr. Speaker, as I said, I challenge anyone and I'm not talking about the COVID loans, you know. I am not talking about COVID loans when the ECCB are totally different. I'm not talking about, there was a crisis, Mr. Speaker. And this world crisis caused all organizations, domestic, international, and otherwise, lenders and donors to do things in a manner they had never done before, basically to militant against what was happening. So, Mr. Speaker, even with this loan, you have a disaster clause. A disaster clause which essentially means that if there is something like a hurricane, what happened in Morocco, what happened in Turkey, any of those natural calamities that militant against your ability to pay will be factored into the conditions of the loan and adjustments can be made accordingly. Where else has that been done in this country? Nowhere. And it had to take the financial maneuverings of an astute Prime Minister, Philip J. Pierre. And if anything like his predecessor would have gone down the dull drums of financial calamity, if you want to call it that. But, Mr. Speaker, I first want to come to in my contribution that would be relatively short. I first want to come to things that the leader of the opposition said.  He came here and he indicated that he heard stories. He heard a story from the Prime Minister and another story for the member for Viewfort North. And the facts do not match the stories. I had to ask myself, excuse me, am I really listening to the leader of the opposition? In fact, Mr. Speaker, I got a clip. I got a clip with the very individual claiming that they lie. And I'm wondering whether he was looking himself in the mirror because I could not believe that the leader of the opposition on this motion would have the audacity to refer to persons as giving stories that do not match facts. Something he knows how to do very well. He probably has his PhD in it now. Mr. Speaker, he said St. Jude is 80 years old. Mind you. Mind you. In the same breath that he said St. Jude is 80 years old, he does not say the site is 80 years old, you know. He said St. Jude is 80 years old and we cannot use those buildings. Yet he goes on to say that the buildings will get it. He said what we are using are 80 year old buildings. But he says in the same breath the buildings will get it. Let's at least see it. So see 80 years old building. You see and sometimes Mr. Speaker, when persons are stranger to the truth, although I say that with caution because I just remember a certain person in this August chamber said the truth is what you believe. So how can you gut an 80 year old building and go into an 80 year old building at the same time? The two don't mesh Mr. Speaker. Ex-executive man, yes I like. No, I'm not taking a buy-out of building state of the art. La Pani Pierce Building St. Jude, Acholma, Kitefet 80 years ago. To via building a quasi, a via rebuild. And it is that kind of misconception that perpetuates the minds of the gullible Mr. Speaker and cause them to have this one-track mind. But you see, had there been financial prudence Mr. Speaker, the need to be borrowing this money here today would have probably been something that was totally unnecessary because we suffered wastage in this country. Millions and millions and I'll give a few examples in a bit Mr. Speaker. If those monies were readily available, the Saudi would have probably lent us money to do some DFCs. Yes, you know, and even the DFCs, today they ask you for roads. Mr. Speaker, there is one example where a contractor signed a DFC and even before he qualified for payment, he assigned interest payment to a third party who was collecting it at the treasury before he became entitled. That is what was going on in this country. I'll say it again. I will say it again. Mr. Speaker, there were DFCs given to Freistat and I speak from a standpoint of authority because I know I have the documentation to substantiate. Freistat assigned the interest payments to Timothy Mangal that had not even become entitled to payment yet of the principal because they had not executed works to any great significant tune. But guess what? They were collecting $218,000 in interest every month. You know, that is what this country was going through. How do you mean? You know, Mr. Speaker, those things are hurtful, you know. They are hurtful because today I stand there to support borrowing because we did St. June. But all that squandering, all that lagesse, all the money for the FFS had we just been more financially prudent, we would have been in a better situation, and if we needed to borrow, probably we would have had to borrow less. But you give DFCs. Let us say you give DFCs and you put in an interest component in the agreement and you say that on completion, you are entitled to X amount of interest, you have not done one-third of the rule which makes you entitled to any significant sum within the contractual arrangement, but you are already drawing interest payments on the entire amount. You know, and today all those documents that were being hidden and in a separate, surreptitious way, I was able to secure them. Today, the very individual has the audacity to speak to accountability and transparency and say if he becomes Prime Minister again, he will publish all contracts. He will publish all contracts. But Mr. Speaker, there is one I know he will never publish. There is one I know he will never publish, Mr. Speaker. And it is dated July 15, 2021, 11 days before the elections. 11 days before the elections and today we have to be borrowing money. Mr. Speaker, Mr. Speaker, the kind of financial atrocities contained in this document is a blatant disrespect, disregard to the little resources we have in this country. We are not Canada, Mr. Speaker. We are not Canada. We are not Cabot. We are not. We don't have the resources to just quander the little that we have. You know, and thank God the Prime Minister has economics in his DNA. But tell me, Mr. Speaker, build and finance agreement. Those are the kinds of things that cause us to be borrowing money here today. And it is a direct award, a direct award, Mr. Speaker, for some $75 million. You know, I'll just read. And if they wanted to be made a document of the House, I will make it. I will never do like the Shanta Kings report that was hidden for five and a half years. And today all of a sudden it becomes a document of convenience from which you can quote. No. I remember as well, Mr. Speaker, when I brought out the DSH agreement, DSH agreement, oh, it's fake. It's fake. Today, Mr. Speaker, it remains the document that may just cost the people of this country hundreds of millions of dollars. Because what? In an effort to show that I am a big Prime Minister, I can do what I want. The resources of the country, you know, a rope was placed around the neck of the resources of this country. And trust me, the resources were mooted, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I just want to read a few excerpts from this 28-page bill and finance contract between the government of St. Lucia and the Frester Construction Company Limited for the construction and finance of St. Jude, the very St. Jude, 75 million, 11 days before elections.  You know, I am proud, Mr. Speaker. I am proud that today I can make a contribution in this other's chamber, in the company of four ex... No, I was about saying four, but three and a half Prime Ministers. You know, three ex-Prime Ministers and a current Prime Minister. I am happy about that. And I will show you, Mr. Speaker, how like minds can overwhelm for the benefit of this country, three of the four Prime Ministers deciding to go in one direction, one Prime Minister, all they have decided to go in a separate way. And today, today, the coffers of this country have to suffer the consequences of some bad financial decisions made by the ex-Prime Minister. But Mr. Speaker, back to this on the same St. Jude Project, Mr. Speaker, I want to first, firstly go to the amount, the amount it speaks to the works and everything else. Let's deal with the amounts, Mr. Speaker. And I quote Mr. Speaker, the fourth schedule of the agreement, page 25 of 28. Here this, Mr. Speaker, the client, which is the government, agrees to enter into a payment plan and settle the financial obligations within one year. What are the financial obligations, Mr. Speaker, seventy million, seven hundred and fifty three thousand, eight hundred and sixty-four dollars and seventy-nine cents. Let this year, we will have an election, government will have an agreement to swasser this million dollar at Pugueve Mape Adayulani. Here this, here this well, Mr. Speaker, finance course. The total is, I would like to listen to this, you know, the total of the agreement is sixty-four million. They have built interest into the total, so it now jumps from sixty-four to seventy. Finance course is six point six million, ten percent. One year, ten percent, let this year, we will have an election, government must essay by prestato contract for seventy-four million dollars. Six million dollars is equivalent, Mr. Speaker, to ten for one year. We are borrowing money today at two percent. At two percent. But if you think that it's bad, Mr. Speaker, if you think that is bad, that Mr. Speaker is rosy when you juxtapose it to the penalty clauses and I don't know why. I don't know how. Any body with a good conscience, anyone who loves this country, anyone who's responsible for the finances of this country could ever look at that far less participate in its operation. Hear this well, Mr. Speaker. The payment will be carried out over a year in the following manner. That is a direct award for the very Senju, the box. And I've come to the other buildings in a while. First and foremost, a 10% built into the contract. Within the first three months of signing the agreement, 26,882,000. Let's at least say 10,000,000 is helpful, Mr. Speaker. That amount, that payment is not tied in with the percentage completion. There is no collaboration. There is no nexus. There is no connectivity insofar as the agreement is concerned between paying one third of the money, one quarter of the money, three months after and the performance of the contract. Nothing at all. So, after three months we paid them 26,000,000. After the second quarter, 10,000,000. The third quarter, 18,000,000. And the last quarter, 14,778,000. Now, hear this, Mr. Speaker. Hear this well. See how the atrocities against this country are compounded. Compounded, Mr. Speaker. Having built in a 10% interest into the contract, it says here, in case of late payment of any invoice submitted by the company, the client shall pay. Jesus, man. The client shall pay interest of 1% per day. So, Mr. Speaker, you have the 60 something million that the contract was worth. They added interest into it. And if they send an invoice that includes interest already, you now have to pay 1% interest per day on the interest already calculated within the amount. I see our accountant general here and I know his heart is being torn apart because you cannot believe anybody would do that. I know that. I know that. It's torn apart. Pines can think of that. 1% per day. 1% per day. No. I'll make it a document of the house. What were you when that was abandoned? 11 days before election. Good. You already blew. You are topping on them already. No, they are topping on you already. So, Mr. Speaker, hear this well. Hear this well, Mr. Speaker. We have a $64 million contract. Man, this is an atrocity. You have a $64 million contract. You built 10% into it already. After three months, I have to pay you $26 million, which invariably means I'm already paying you interest. And hear this. Every day that that invoice is lit, I have to pay you another $20, $260,000 per day. You know, and you want to come here and parade on the altar of being Mr. What? What guru? No, there cannot be a point of order. There can only be a point of disorder.   You have a DFC. You have a DFC where people are collecting interest payments before they are entitled to anything. You have another contract sent to the attorney general, and I suspect the attorney general at the time. He felt this thing was so hot. He dropped it like a hot potato. Let's at least see a letter to the general as you want to see it eventually. You know, you built 10% interest into a contract and you are now saying you are now saying that if an invoice is lit 1% per day. So on the first invoice, Mr. Speaker, if the payment was led by one day, $268,800 a day, 1% a day. So if that Mr. Speaker, that invoice is 10 days late, another $2.6 million for lateness, and we are paying interest on interest, you know. Why you do that to the country, man? Why? You know, Mr. Speaker, it's time we're enact legislation crimes against the state because I cannot fathom how anybody with a right mind, anyone whose interest is this country, anyone whose interest is the upliftment of the standard of living of the people of this country who do something like that. How can you? And today, we have to borrow, Mr. Speaker. We have to borrow. Now, you know, you have to start building their own walls on every highway now because there is money, there is money. You know, Mr. Speaker, even the leader of the opposition, after he said the buildings are 80 years old, then he turned around and said they were gutted. He even said, and I quote, their layout was reconfigured. Can you reconfigure? Buildings already existed. In other words, Mr. Speaker, the emphatic point I want to make is that the leader of the opposition wants it and grinding the minds of solutions that the original St. Jude, 80 year old buildings, let's set this up halfway. Two say building, Nakila say building, and another thing he said and the answer will prove they are 28 buildings. They are not 28 buildings. They are 14 buildings. They are 14 buildings. Yeah, wait, but he was demolishing everything here. And when you tell me, Mr. Speaker, 14 buildings, we are a country of scarce resources. We have no oil. We have no gold. One would believe that a prudent prime minister would do whatever is necessary within the realms of possibility to ensure that he safeguards the expenditure that is born by the taxpayers of this country. So when you put up two buildings, and you figure those two buildings that cost us may as seven million dollars, you could put an excavator in it with total impunity. God is going to punish you at some point politically or otherwise. You take an excavator and you put into two newly constructed buildings. God will punish you. We don't have an abundance of resources, Mr. Speaker. We don't have an abundance of resources. We don't have gold. We are not Canadians. We are not cabotians. We are only Saint Lucians. And all of us owe each other responsibility to watch our backs and watch the backs of the people who elected us to ensure we do what is best and what is in their interest. Not take seven million dollars and put an excavator in it. You know, and that reminds me and everything I think of, Mr. Speaker, there's a whole trail, a whole trail. And today we have to borrow money, seven million dollars down the drain. And today we have to borrow. Only yesterday, Mr. Speaker, I believe the contract for custody suites was finalized. You know, we now have to go and borrow some four or five million dollars to rebuild the custody suites that I, your humble servant commissioned and executed under the prime ministership on Stevenson King, member for castries north. What happened to it? They put an excavator in it. The father of the leader of the opposition, I was there. I was almost in tears. Yeah, two days after he put the same excavator in the old prisons and then he put it in police headquarters and sent the police man to rent somewhere. You know, and want to talk about having any kind of, you know, Jesus man, you know, the largest prisoner holding facility in the OICS, the largest prisoner holding facility. I remember when those police officers came to me as an ex-police, they said, Mr. Minister, you are police officer. You know the difficulties we had in holding prisoners. We need somewhere. They were the ones, the police were the ones who identified the location with me for me rather. And then I approached the member for castries north, who was then prime minister. He asked me how much money I needed. And at the time it was about $900,000. And that was executed like Speedy Gonzalez. And we're properly done, Mr. Speaker. And then I saw this 80-year-old man supervising an excavator as he egregiously placed its bits, its bucket, you know, into the prison. And then you want to talk about crime. And then you want to talk about crime.  And then we have to borrow money now. We have to borrow to build a new custody suites. Yes. Borrow to build a new custody suites, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, which country? You know, governance has a concept of continuity. Governance, good governance rather, does not see political color. Good governance sees benefits being bestowed on the citizenry of this country. That's what good governance is. You have here, Mr. Speaker, like I said, two former prime, three, two and a half former prime ministers and a current prime minister. St. Jude started under the leadership of the member for castries north. Schoolchildren, Mr. Speaker, made contributions of their lunch in monies. That is the quest and the magnitude of participation across the political divide and across the country. Pre-schoolers gave money, persons from the diaspora, everybody contributed and so it started under the stewardship of the member for castries north. The elections were lost. Guess what the member for Vuford South did? He didn't demolish, he didn't stop, he continued right away. And today I say I want to give the member for Vuford South a round of applause for me, please. He deserves it. And in addition to continuing it, Mr. Speaker, he sought financing, he sought financing to complete it. And then you have, then you have the cheese, the cheese, who did all in his power to ensure that it did not complete. But you know, Mr. Speaker, there is an old saying in law, you cry of distress is a summons for help. When you are cashless, you look for a cash cow. And so a cash cow was desperately needed and it was found in the box, in the box, the foundation. Mr. Speaker, can you imagine, you know, can you imagine they want to be prime minister again in this country? Mr. Speaker, the foundation of that box was estimated to have costed just over $3 million. It ended at over 300% increase, $9 million. Direct award to Frester. In fact, Mr. Speaker, in fact, $180 million, $180 million was spent on the box, not one contract, not half a contract, not quarter of a contract was awarded through the tendering process. Let's set this year, let's set this year, government will be able to spend $1 million. Mr. Speaker, the member is misleading the House. He knows very well that the contract for the hospital, the new building, was given to OECC and OECC subcontracted the $3 million that he's making reference to, yes, was for the ground foundation, but the $12 million included all of the structures up at the top, the frame of the building. So again, Mr. Speaker, you know, I like the antics and I like the passion, but at the end of the day, I could have stood on many occasions. I'm asking the member to try to stay in the framework of some truth of what he is saying, just some. Mr. Speaker, I still, I wonder, I was expecting a refuter. Let me repeat exactly what I said. The member for Mikusol has indicated that contrary to your assertion that no contract was awarded, that one was in fact awarded, and that contractor subcontracted. Mr. Speaker, all I said, not one contract, not half a contract, not quarter of a contract was awarded through the tendering process. That is what I said. That is correct. Yes. So document tell me it was awarded to that one, and that one, give that one, and that one. I am no business with that, like the Jamaican see. All I'm saying, the youth sum, the largest project in the history of this country in so far as expenditure from the government coffers are concerned, there was absolutely no tendering. That's what I said. All right, further say, Mr. Member for Mikusol. Yes, again, Mr. Speaker, the member is misleading now. So if in fact he wants to make that allegation, then go back to the beginning. And I want to know at any time when all the monies were spent, $130 million previously, were there any of those contracts? Member for Mikusol, that's your argument, that free cars are parked on a no parking zone, and the police give one a ticket, and the other two didn't get a ticket or something. That's not, I mean, how does that address what the member for Cassie Central said? The member said this is the largest project, and in the history of San Lucia, and spending government money, and no tender was put. I just want to make the point that he is wrong, because in the first part of the project, which actually spending more money than the Member for Mikusol, if all due respect, how does that answer the question he's asked? It doesn't, I'm just asking, as I said, Mr. Speaker, that he's misleading the house. He's making it out to believe that in fact that the only part of the building that did not go out to tender was that part. So I guess... He never suggested that, he's dealing with... So I'm asking for a point of clarity, not a point of clarity, but he's misleading the house because... How is he misleading the house? Because he said that this was the largest project in the history of San Lucia, using government monies that did not go out to tender, and I'm saying to you, Mr. Speaker, that the first part of the project was larger, and it also did not go out to tender. The first part. Mr. Speaker, I am not here to divide the projects into parts, and to award a price tag on each part, set a whole comprises of several parts, and when you put the parts together, you get a whole. You understand that now? Good. So Mr. Speaker, I was about showing him the one for the 11 days before elections again, $70 million no tendering. And that's a part. That's one part. The other part is the foundation. And the other part, I didn't ask you about parts. When you go and buy chicken, if you buy a whole chicken, you buy a whole chicken. If you want wings, you ask for wings. If you want legs, you ask for legs. If you want backs, you ask for backs. Make you ask for neck. I does it decent.  Say, I didn't ask you about chicken parts. I spoke about a contract, a whole chicken. I didn't tell you about the legs, and the wings, and the backs, and the legs, and the gizzards. But then again, you know, not everybody understands. So Mr. Speaker, the largest contract in the history of this country that is paid for by the coffers of government never saw any tendering. In any regard, none. And the last one which the Attorney General felt was a little too hot for him. He dropped it, there's a calypso Mr. Speaker. I don't know if you, drop it like it hot. Drop it like it hot. Well, he dropped it. It was hot. Now Mr. Speaker, very quickly, you know, the box, the guys... Never cast recenturia, 15 minutes left for your short contribution. Mr. Speaker, there was no need to use the adjective of short. I will, I, 15 will be okay. Mr. Speaker, here this, here this, here this. You know, the guys built a box. And one of the things they refused to tell St. Lucian's is that the box could have never stood alone as a hospital. Let me repeat that. They certainly see it. Let's not put Kadi, a man put Miku south, a man who was state of the art hospital. Okay. So it could not have stood alone. But you see he has engranding our people is either the box or the buildings. You hear this? It's like the spinal cord of any human being. So the box could have never subsisted alone as a hospital. You know, and yet you come here attempting to justify the box. Mr. Speaker, you know, I have so much wastage and how wide now we have to borrow. But before I touch it in within the 15 minutes, let me tell you how much the member for Miku south was warned. Okay. So you have here, Mr. Speaker, three and a half prime ministers, four prime ministers. X or otherwise, they are X, Y and current. Now, this prime minister went for the original St. Jude. This prime minister quite wisely continued the original St. Jude. This prime minister said yes, original St. Jude. All of them. One man stood alone. But not even that, Mr. Speaker. His supporters were wiser than him. His supporters on the 21st of September, 2018 wrote him a letter. 2018 September. And I could make it a document of the house if I have to, Mr. Speaker. Signed by over 20 something supporters begging him, blitz, the original St. Jude. And I will read excerpts of it very quickly. But then again, what did he say? I don't listen.  That's what he said. And prime minister is wrong. This ex-prime minister is wrong. This ex-prime minister is wrong. His supporters are wrong. He alone is right. Let me tell you what his supporters said, Mr. Speaker. Like I said, I could make it a document of the cabinet of ministers. 21st of September, 2018. Dear honorable ministers, we do understand a small group of your core UWP supporters from the two prime forces have constituency who want to ensure that the UWP is victorious at the next general election. The victory will give. The victory will give our government a further five years to fully implement its development plans and policies. Good. It was the UWP government that was written to the UWP government headed by the member for Miku South. It says it is evident that two issues are being exploited vigorously by labor in Souffre, St. Jude Hospital and the Town Square. Both of which they stopped. Both of which they stopped. Because they believe. You know. You know. You know. St. Jude Hospital and the Town Square. You know, they're rallying cries that the UWP does not do anything that the Labor Party started. Hear what Flambeau are saying to this gentleman. That UWP does not want to continue anything Labor started. And that's a fact. Stop the square. Stop the airport. Stop hospital. Stop the Wasco building. The administrative building. It stopped, stopped, stopped. This man paraded one day and he was on a stoppage exercise. He just got to the Souffre Square. All of you stop. And then he fired a contractor. You know. Yeah. The same one dressed as a priest. Yes. Here they say Mr. Speaker. Imagine the political firestorm the government would face if for example this year we were hit by a category four hurricane. And it would cause extensive damage to George Orlam Stadium, injuring or killing patients or staff or serious accidents at your accident. Sorry. At the Renault Airport, which would require swift and urgent medical care for several dozen pluses. Honorable ministers, we cannot go into the next year with this lingering issues. We cannot afford any missteps. We must not allow these ails to deteriorate any further. There are storm clouds gathering over the distant political horizon, including the blue wave. And we must avoid complacency. 2018. Yes, I will. Then they went on. They went on Mr. Speaker to tell him. Send you to the hospital. We employ you not to even consider building a brand new hospital as has been discussed. Construction of the new structure would take you into election year. There will be a lot of dissent and anger from the electorate, owing to the fact that so much donated money was spent to build the existing structure, only to see the present administration choosing to abandon it, rather than exploring more cost-effective ways of remedying the foopa. There's a label right now, right? No. Flabo's writing it too. Flabo. Sabah flabo, well sabah flabo. Hey, y'all are hearing this? Y'all are hearing this? Yes, that's it. You know? Let's simply say supporters flabo take away government flabo, because stop moon methe lajapue, you buy lajapue, you earn lajapue from Lord Pei, you buy the job, Professor Jude. You know? And they left it. And then they said, we are confident if you honor the ministers, listen to our plea and heed our advice, and implement the aforementioned measures promptly. Residents and voters in Souffre, will immediately pay less attention to the opposition's noise and propaganda, and sign a small detail, but I will make it a document of the House. But when your own supporters can tell you, do not touch it, do not touch it, three prime ministers tell you do not touch it, your own report. And you know, Mr. Speaker, he read from his report. He read from the report, but he never said this. His own report that he paid a million dollars for said, we see, and I quote, we see a great value present in the works completed to date, and believe that the project is solvable and can be converted into a facility that can properly serve the needs of St. Lucian. So he disregarded three prime ministers, he disregarded his report, he disregarded his supporters, and it comes in this House attempting to justify. Now he said his box was 90% complete. Miss, I have never heard more nonsense than that. Mr. Speaker, he commissioned a report in June of 2021 before the elections. He said, Mr. Speaker, he has prime minister, the member of the South as prime minister, commissioned a report on the status of what they had done. And it was dated 29th of July, three days after the people unceremoniously dispensed with the unwanted matter. And so, Mr. Speaker, here's what it says here. Here's what it says. The report does not indicate the current state of completion. He said here that his box was 90% complete, or 80%. I'm almost there, Mr. Speaker. The member of the Cassidy Center, you have five minutes left. And would you provide the officer over the document? Yes, definitely. So, yes, Mr. Speaker, the report that he commissioned did not indicate the state of completion and percentage. But he stands in this House and gives us a percentage, and we don't know where it came from. But I'll read the findings of the committee that was placed by this government. It says here the new buildings, which is the old phase, what as they call it, is between 70% and 90% complete. And they went on to say the project as a whole, that is the box, remains less than 30%, remains less than 30% complete, Mr. Speaker. So, and you know, headers, between February 2019 and July 2021, in less than two years, Mr. Speaker, well just over two years, they had spent $118 million. Mr.  The committee did not agree with the stated expenditure figure of some of the activities or some of the activities in the contracts have not been executed. The contract awarded to Freistat in the sum of $25,687,818.98 and 53 cents for the internal architectural elements, architecture, less at least here, $25 million for architecture. I could go on and on, but I do believe that the good Lord has blessed me with an alternative platform and it is not new speed, Mr. Speaker. It is not new speed. The good Lord has blessed me with an alternative platform to do justice, to this motion today and as I said earlier, I have not in the history of this country seen any moon with such favorable terms, 2% five years grace and a clause 20 years to pay and a climate affected clause. That was very well negotiated and Mr. Speaker, whilst I do know my prime minister was instrumental and he was at the forefront to all those other civil servants who were at the bargaining table and who assisted implicitly or otherwise. I say thank you on behalf of the government and people of St. Lucia. I take my leave.
