BlitzWolf BW-SDB1 36" Soundbar Review - Duration: 11:10.
Hey guys, welcome to a Tuesday bonus video. Our regular videos are every Friday, but today we're checking out the BlitzWolf
BW-SDB1 soundbar. This soundbar has been stalking me online for ages, everywhere
I went I kept seeing the ad, so I had a look at YouTube reviews
and yeah, the consensus seems that this is a good soundbar with decent sound and good value.
Most of the reviews I watched didn't look into the aspects that interest me. So, look, I'm not going to claim that
this is the best ever review of this soundbar,
but I will cover aspects overlooked in other reviews,
mostly the finer technical details that I find especially interesting and
basically, I want to be sure that if you're spending your hard-earned money on this speaker that you know what you're getting and not run
into any nasty surprises.
Now I' got this unit from banggood. I asked them if I could get a review unit,
so this means they sent me this speaker free of charge for doing a video review and I do get to keep it. I plan
on using this in my Computer lab, so I have a speaker with a range of inputs that I can use with my projects.
Let's look at the dimensions. The speaker is advertised as being 36 inch.
It's a little bit smaller at 35 and a half or 90 centimeters.
It's just under two inches of five centimeters tall,
so it should fit easily under most TVs and
PC monitors. And it's just under 9 centimeters or three and a half inches deep. The sound bar has two front facing
speakers. This is the one on the left,
and here we have the one on the right. And here we see the soundbar from the top,
so here are all these speakers on the left side and
here are all the speakers on the right side.
Included is an optical cable. It's rather short, one meter or three feet.
We also get a 3.5 mm to RCA audio cable. This one is also very short,
it's also one meter or three feet.
The power cord is a regular figure 8 cable, comes with the US plug, so you can just get a local
version if you're outside of the US. This one is a little bit longer, one and a half meters or five feet.
It also comes with a user manual, but I couldn't find a downloadable version on the BlitzWolf website,
so I'm going to scan this in and upload it somewhere and put a link down below in the description.
This might be of interest if you want to go over the user manual
yourself. The soundbar should work in all countries. It takes 100 to 240 Volts, 50 60 Hertz In Australia
we have 50 Hertz and
240 volts and it works just fine.
There are some buttons at the front: power button for on/off, source to switching between the six input modes and
volume down and up.
There are some tiny LEDs at the front of the unit which are a little bit hard to see on camera
but hopefully it comes across so at the moment the speaker is in standby and has little orange light here.
Turning it on, the light changes to green. Green is for the auxiliary
Input, so I'm just gonna switch to bluetooth. There's now a little blue light.
Let's switch to
optical, we're getting an orange light. Switching to coaxial. We're getting
another orange light, so both coaxial and optical have the same color.
HDMI audio return channel has a white LED and the
USB mode also has a white LED.
If the speaker hasn't received an audio signal for 15 minutes, it will switch off automatically.
So here we have the remote control, the power button to turn the unit on or off, the equalizer button
There are four audio profiles: movie, music, news and also sports. There is no way to
manually configure bass or treble. Now the
soundbar does not have a display. So how can you tell which EQ mode is active?
This speaker will just speak the words to you
movie
music
news
sport. movie.
Here we have volume up and down. We've got the play and pause button and
going back and forward that works with playing music from the USB stick or with
Bluetooth. And here are our six inputs. It's nice that you have
direct inputs rather than one source button where you have to like
press it a few times to switch between sources. A battery is included. The type is a
CR2025.
Here we are at the back of the unit. So let's have a look at all
the interfaces. Here goes the power cord. Now this soundbar also supports Bluetooth version
4.2 and I tested it with both, my smartphone, but also with one of these cheap
USB Bluetooth dongles that you can just plug into your desktop and that worked just fine. On the remote control you can go
back and forward in your playlist and you can also control the volume.
But the speaker has its own volume, so they're basically two
volumes that you need to consider. Here we have two digital inputs: Coaxial and Optical,
both of these can be configured to
turn on automatically when a signal is detected.
For example, I connected the PC and ran a game and after short while the speaker will turn on.
By itself, you can however turn off this feature if you want, but you can only do this for these two interfaces.
I also had a look at the different sample rates of the optical input.
So on the PC, you can just go into the properties of your sound card and change the sample rate.
So with 16-bit it was compatible with
44.1 KHz, 48, 96 and
192 KHz.
24-bit modes did not work at all. So it seems to only be compatible with
16-bit format but does support a range of sample rates. Here we have the auxiliary port which is a
3.5mm jack and this can also automatically turn on the unit as soon as you
play some sound, basically the soundbar will turn on. The USB port, that interested me. On the BlitzWolf
website there's a picture and it says service only.
So I was a little bit worried that this might be only for flashing the firmware or something like that
but it does work. So I used a 32 GB USB flash drive and put some songs on there. It plays them in
alphabetical order.
It doesn't support any shuffling.
It will just play them in alphabetical order and when it reaches the last song it will
start again with the first file. In terms of audio files It only seems to support
MP3, I tried AAC and OGG, but no luck. It only seems to support
MP3 files and you can use the remote control to go left and right and also undocumented,
I couldn't find anything in the manual, if you hold down the left and the right buttons you can
fast forward within one audio file. And here we've got the HDMI ARC connector.
Unfortunately, I couldn't test this, my TV doesn't have such a port but most modern TVs do and this port also supports
automatically turning on this soundbar, as soon as it detects any audio. When you reach the maximum volume,
the unit will beep just giving you acoustic feedback.
When you put your ear close to the speakers with the volume turned up all the way you can make out a slight hiss,
but if you dial down the volume a few steps, then the hissing disappears. Let's talk about the price!
So Banggood has two warehouses, one in the US, and one in Hong Kong.
In the US you're looking at 89.99 plus 2.99 for shipping. However, we have a 15 % discount
coupon down below in the description. So after applying that you're looking at 76.49.
So we had a look at all the features. We know how much it costs, but the most important thing.
What does it sound like? So I know a little about speakers and I'm really not an audiophile or anything like that.
So all I can give is my opinion
and yeah, I really like how they sound. Now you can, and you should, check out other reviews as well,
specifically, I found a cool review and he used binaural recordings
which is using two microphones inside a dummy head and
you need to listen with headphones and this will give you the best idea of what these speakers really sound like, at least
through a YouTube video. I'll put a link down below in the video description.
So the way I formed my opinion is listened to my usual playlist on Google Play Music.
I watched a bit of YouTube and Netflix and played a few games.
The speaker goes pretty loud and the dialogues are easy to understand and for me, there's enough bass as well.
But look, without a subwoofer,
there's only so much a soundbar can do. I find that the speaker produces a pleasant sound with
plenty of clarity and detail and for the price, I think you have to be pretty happy.
I contacted Blitzwolf just to see what the service is like.
So I asked them a technical question: Which audio files and formats does the USB playback functions support?
Unfortunately, I got a very generic reply,
it didn't really address the question whatsoever. So using this speaker for the PC,
I like how it keeps things really clutter free, so you can just get one of these USB Bluetooth dongles for a few dollars and
this is how I will use the speaker in my lab. I also like that it has a range of inputs,
so for my projects, this is super handy.
It doesn't matter if it's analogue, coaxial or optical. I can plug them straight into the speaker.
So guys, there you have it. I like the speakers, I like all the inputs and features and the price is decent
offering good value and most importantly it sounds pretty decent. But yeah, tell me what do you think?
Maybe you have this particular model and you've got something to share, leave it down below in the comments and
as always if you do have any questions about this product leave them down below if you want me to test anything
specifically I can do that. No problem at all.
I will see you soon with our weekly Friday video, but keep an eye out for Tuesday,
sometimes there will be a bonus video like this one. And that's it guys, thank you so much for watching. Please subscribe to the channel if you haven't

Ten ways to become a better boss - Duration: 7:58.
In today's video I want to talk about what makes a good boss.
You probably heard that phrase, "Individuals leave managers.
They don't leave companies."
And I think for the most part, that is true.
There are individuals that will leave a company because of the toxic culture, and there's
also extenuating circumstances as well.
Could be a spouse that's being transferred to another part of the country, but for the
most part, individuals that are leaving organizations, a lot of it may have to do with the manager
that they are reporting to.
So if you are a manager, or you want to be a manager, or you want to be a better manager,
stay tuned and watch this video to the very end as I'm going to site some studies by one
of the largest organizations out there and what they found.
You know I've always been someone that's been fascinated with the subject matter, leadership,
and management.
I've always been someone who has browsed the bookshelves of Barnes and Noble looking for
the latest reads on the subject matter.
It's something that I always wanted to be when I was in corporate America, and that
was a better boss.
In fact, in 2009, about the time I was knocking on the door of turning 50, I went back to
school to get a master's degree in leadership because I wanted to know what it was that
they were teaching in leadership 201 that I hadn't learned in leadership 101.
I've always had a fascination with this subject matter.
In fact, one of the things that I can share with you right now is that there is a difference
between management and management style.
There's a number of different management styles out there.
There's authoritarian.
There's transformational.
There's situational.
There are so many different, there's probably at least a dozen different management styles
out there, all of which you get to learn about when you take an advanced degree in the workings
of leadership and all of the science behind it.
But what I want you to understand is that management and management style are two separate
things.
You could have a management style that's going to work great in one environment, but it's
not going to work great in another.
For example, take the Marine boot camp environment.
Situational management is not going to work real good in that area.
It's going to be more of an authoritarian.
Same thing in say a factory floor where safety is a big concern.
That supervisor is going to take more of an authoritarian approach and that's what's going
to work in that environment.
That doesn't mean that factory floor supervisors a total dick when they leave the premises;
probably a very nice person, and I know a couple of drill sergeants that are really
great individuals, but they have to use a different style when it comes to their environment
that they're in.
But what I want to talk about today is actually the characteristics of a manager and what
makes a good boss out there.
Do you know how I did this?
Google told me.
Google told me.
Let me explain.
In 2008, Google conducted a very large study on the subject, what makes a good boss?
This was a 10 year study.
Now understand, Google has over 85,000 employees, so that's a really good base to draw up on
and let me tell you what the top ten items, the top ten characteristics were that Google
found makes a good boss.
So the first thing that Google found in doing this research is that the best managers, the
best bosses out there were ones who were great coaches.
Number two.
The best bosses out there were ones that empowered their team.
They were not micro-managers.
Three.
They created an exclusive team environment.
Number four.
They were product and results oriented.
Number five.
They were great communicators.
They listened, and they shared information.
Number six.
They supported their employees career development.
and they took time to discuss their employees performance.
Number seven.
They had a clear vision for their team, and a road map to get there.
Number eight.
They had they key technical skills to help advise their team.
So what I mean by that is they took the time to familiarize themselves with their peoples'
every day work, and the challenges that those individuals faced.
They collaborated across the company.
They made sure there was no silos.
There was no us versus them.
And finally they were strong decision makers.
They took the lead on some of the most important roles out there, but they also make sure that
everyone one their team understood the reasons behind their decisions.
You know I was really fortunate for the past 18 years that I was in corporate America,
I worked for a great boss.
I did not struggle with having to work with someone that I didn't have a lot of respect
for.
It's probably why I lasted as long as I did.
But I also tried to live up to these characteristics myself because, by the way, these characteristics
that Google just stated, I could have probably saved them a lot of money because it was the
same information that I learned during my master's program that I spent 18 months on
and writing a thesis that took me seven months to do.
But I tried to live these same characteristics and in an industry that had a turnover every
18 months to two years, most of my team had been with me for over 10 years.
But this video is not about me or not about my boss.
This video is about you.
I often have clients that will come to me, and they say I want to take, I want to step
into a leadership role where I want to be a better leader, or I want to get promoted
to the next level of leadership.
What is it that I need to do?
You need to follow these same guidelines that I talked about.
It's not about you.
It's about the employee.
It's about your team and that's the biggest thing that you need to recognize.
It's not about you, it's about the team and are you looking out for the team.
I mean, go back and take a look at some of the first couple of characteristics of a good
manager.
They're a good coach.
Is that about you?
No, it's about who you're coaching.
They empower the team.
Is that about you?
No, it's about the team.
You're creating an exclusive team environment.
So again, these are great little indicators of how to become the best boss out there.
So I hope you found this video informative and useful and if so, make sure that you subscribe
to this channel as I do upload new career tips and strategies every Tuesday.
Thank you for stopping by and I look forward to seeing you in the next video.

WP3400918 - Replacing Your Whirlpool Dishwasher's Spray Arm Retainer AP6008483 PS11741622 - Duration: 4:18.
hi my name is Bill and today I'm gonna be showing you how to replace the spray
arm retainer in your dishwasher the reason why you might have to do this it's
damaged or missing for this repair we'll be using a Philips head screwdriver and
a flat head screwdriver warning before doing any repairs please disconnect your
power source so this is the dishwasher we're going to be using for this
demonstration it's a whirlpool and now keep in mind yours at home might be a
little bit different than what we have here but the same technique should still
apply also keep in mind you don't have a countertop for this so we're actually
using some weights to keep it weighted down so it doesn't tip over on us so you might
want to consider that when you're at home and if you have to take out your
dishwasher make sure that you're not doing anything to tip it over and make
it fall on you when you're doing a repair as well so the first thing we're
going to do is open up our dishwasher here so we'll pull out our top dish rack
here and in order to get the dish rack off we're gonna have to take off the
stoppers on the end here so we'll just pull straight up on that and pull it out
and same thing on this side we're gonna pull it straight up on the stopper and
then pull it straight out now with the stoppers out of the way
you should be able to pull your dish rack straight out now we're going to
have to detach the water supply tube from the top and from the back of the
dishwasher here so it's screwed in
now that it's unscrewed we can move the supply arm wheely like so now we can use
a flathead screwdriver to pry up on the retainer here now you can grab your new
OEM replacement spray arm retainer if you don't have one already you can find
it on our online store and now we can put our retainer in and that just snaps
into place just like that now if your water supply assembly fell out of place you
can just put it back into the tube bottom here slide it in just like that
and we'll line up all the holes and now we can screw back in and now we'll take
our upper rack and we'll line up the wheels and get those inside of the track
there and push that all the way back we just want to make sure that both go
inside this one didn't try it one more time and slide it all the way back now
we're going to slide our track out just a little bit again and we're gonna put
our stopper back in place there you go so that will stop the track from going
out again and now we can close up the door and your repair is complete finally
don't forget to plug in your appliance if you need to replace any parts for

Fat Ass Club Regensburg - Orienteering Event 2019 - Map B - Duration: 3:53.
It's a beautiful day for a run in the forest
Lets start with a areal view of the course
From Start it goes down into the valley,
Before taking the runners up into the forest to Control 1
Back down in the valley, Control 2 is located at a Hunting Tower
The leg to Control 3 takes the runners back up hill.
Control 3 to 4 offers a choice between cutting through the forest or going along the road
After Control 4 it goes back up along the road to Control 5
From Control 5 there is another climb up to Control 6
Before it goes back down to the last Control and to Finish back at the sports club
And now it's time to send the runners out, one by one
Let's have a direct comparison of their run
Carsten takes an early lead while Markus stops to navigate?
Markus realize that he "cheated" on Map A and decides to be fair about it.
He, therefore, runs on past Control 1 before looping back
At Control 2 the runners goes in two different directions
Carsten's choice of a steeper but more direct route,
would possible have paid dividends, had he not made a navigation mistake
At Control 3 the runners again make different choices.
Markus this time takes the direct route through the forest whereby he wins 2 minutes
The last three legs are more or less a tie
Both in route choices and split times
At the finish, Markus comes in 5 minutes ahead of Carsten
