Let's go, as it is.
Hello tankers!
Today we're gonna have a slightly different video.
We usually show you videoblogs or something like that,
but today we have decided to do
a video announcement about the balance changes
that will be implemented soon.
We usually do this in text format,
but we have noticed that sometimes these announcements
can cause a bit of confusion,
instead of making it clear for you what has changed and why.
So, in this video i will try to
explain clearly and briefly
what we have changed, in what way
we have changed it, and most importantly
why we have changed it.
Let's try, and we'll see, how it works out,
maybe it will be much better.
We have implemented changes in a few turrets:
these are Firebird, Isida, Hammer, Smoky, Striker, Thunder and Magnum.
Let's start with Firebird.
The only change is that
the heating rate of tanks has been increased from 0.2 to 0.4.
But what is 0.2 really? Let me explain so you can understand how it works.
Every second that Firebird is attacking an enemy
at its optimal range, it heats it slightly.
0.2 is the index at which Firebird heats the enemy.
Unfortunately, this index was so low,
that in the 5 second duration of the energy gauge it could hardly reach
maximum temperature, so the damage was low.
We've received lots of feedback about this,
and we have paid attention to it
and decided to tweak things a bit.
Of course, we researched it very carefully first.
Where is Firebird in the game balance?
What happens to it in battles against other turrets?
This led us to the conclusion that if we increase this parameter slightly,
nothing bad will happen.
That's why we increase it.
At the same time, we decreased the bonus given by its alteration
by exactly the same amount, that we increased for the turret.
In reality, the end result for the alteration is that nothing really changes,
it remains as it was.
It's just the basic Firebird that changes.
We really hope you will like these changes.
Let's see how they will influence the game.
Hopefully Firebird will not annoy tankers too much.
Next is Isida.
Isida has also received positive changes:
It's damage and healing have been increased.
What happened exactly?
We realized that Isida still couldn't compete effectively
against other close combat turrets.
You're probably asking,
why not bring back self-healing for this turret,
that would make it great again as it was in the past.
The trouble with self-healing,
was that it wasn't much fun to play against it.
Of course, if you had self-healing and you reached your enemy
it was quick and easy,
you could destroy them in a few seconds, and they wouldn't be able to do anything to you.
But when you played against Isida, it didn't really feel fair.
Isida would come close to you,
and it would be simply unkillable
and there was nothing you could do about it.
That's why we decided to remove self-healing,
and instead do something more interesting with its damage.
Now the damage will be increased to 1000 dps when fully upgraded
So it looks like with a fully charged tank
Isida will be the turret, that will deal
the biggest damage per second in the game,
even bigger than what Twins did before.
Of course as long as the energy gauge isn't empty.
It is much more interesting to play
and the damage is just amazing, much better than self-healing
and we could only do this after we removed self-healing.
We hope you will also like such Isida.
Remember, big damage still doesn't make this turret
better than, for example, Firebird or Freeze,
because Isida doesn't heat, and it doesn't freeze,
plus it still only attacks one tank.
We hope, that you will enjoy Isida a lot more now.
Now, the most difficult point.
The changes in Hammer's balance.
It's horizontal spread has been increased slightly,
and the range of maximum damage has been increased
while the turret's rotation speed when using the alteration has been decreased.
How does this affect the turret
and what is the range of maximum damage?
Overall, there are now many Hammers,
especially in DM battles,
and they drive Twins and Ricochets out of DM battles,
because they are in principle efficient
on the range, that these turrets are efficient,
and Hammer is still better than close combat turrets,
because it simply doesn't have to get
within the range of close combat turrets
and can reach them efficiently.
So the turret is overpowered and has to be weakened in some way,
but decreasing the damage or firing rate
doesn't make the turret interesting.
In reality, it just makes the turret too weak.
Even a slight decrease in damage or firing rate
would make the turret less interesting
and give it nothing new, right?
It needs to be weakened in some way,
but also get some kind of new feature,
while at the same time become less aggressive.
That's why we have decided to increase horizontal spread
from 7 degrees to 10 degrees.
How will this affect the turret?
In close combat, when you are very close to tanks,
nothing will really change.
You will still be able to destroy your enemies,
just like you did with the old Hammer.
The changes are visible in mid-range combat.
Due to the increased spread angle
when attacking one tank,
your damage will probably be less,
the farther the tank is from you
But at the same time, due to the big spread
you will be able to damage several tanks,
as long as they are within your range.
So, before, you didn't really have a choice.
You would see a tank and you would shoot it.
The only question was whether you would hit it or not.
But now you will have a choice between close combat shooting,
where you're guaranteed to hit one tank,
or mid-range combat,
with the opportunity to destroy several tanks.
To make mid-range combat more practical,
we've increased the range of maximum damage.
Without getting into too much detail
this means that the damage of your pellets
will remain constant over a longer distance
and will not decrease.
So let's say you see a few tanks,
in the distance, for example on a small bridge,
on the Novel map,
you can hit them all with one shot
and even deal them a fair amount of damage.
As for the alteration
due to the increased range of maximum damage
we had to weaken the Slugger alteration slightly.
This alteration makes your damage cone narrower
to give you a smaller spread of pellets.
We had to weaken this alteration due
to the small spread angle
and due to the increase in the
range of efficient shooting,
which is why this alteration had to be slightly weakened.
So we weakened it
by decreasing the turret rotation speed.
That's it.
Okay, let's go on.
The next turret is Smoky.
Smoky also has some interesting changes.
Its critical shot chance
now increases with its level.
The maximum critical chance remains the same, about 20%,
and minimum will be about 10-11%.
How will this affect Smoky?
About 2-3 years ago,
Smoky had very strong critical damage.
Whenever it happened, Smoky could destroy
almost any tank with one shot.
But when the critical shot didn't come out,
Smoky was almost useless.
On one side, it was cool, because
to destroy a tank with just one shot
is awesome.
On the other hand there were some very serious problems.
For example, when trying to attack a base
that is protected by heavy tanks,
and two Smokies were attacking, one of two things can happen.
Either they get lucky and deal critical damage
with almost every shot,
destroying the whole defense
with just 3-4 shots without giving the enemies any chance to recover.
Or they get unlucky
and won't be able to destroy anybody at all.
This was definitely not cool
because the player could not influence this in any way.
So it was the Game that decided: "you can destroy all the tanks now"
or "you do not destroy anybody."
This was not good
because it was impossible to manage this turret.
So, what has happened to Smoky now?
Its critical damage is
slightly smaller than it used to be
but with the changes we've implemented,
you kinda get two Smokies in one.
At the early levels
critical damage will happen sparingly,
but at the same time, it will deal at least double the damage
of your standard shot, and even more.
But as you upgrade your turret
and play with it, the critical shot
will not become stronger.
It will get improve by 100
or 110 hitpoints when upgrading,
but at the same time, critical chance will increase.
This means that at the early levels you can deal
very serious damage, but only occasionally,
but at the later stages, you will have
a more stable increased damage output.
And if you understand,
how distance works in game,
you will be able to use it efficiently. For example,
damage doesn't decrease with distance.
Smoky is a turret for beginners, and it is always fun for them
while shooting a tank
finally watching it explode.
The increased critical damage
should help them with that.
If you have any low rank accounts,
you should definitely try Smoky.
Have a look, and tell us whether you think
it has become better and more interesting.
… Striker.
Next, next, next…
The next one is the Striker turret, and it undergoes two changes.
We have increased the starting velocity of its rockets
from 10 m/sec to 20 m/sec
and increased the maximum damage radius
from 0 to 1 meter.
What kind of magic is this and how does it work?
The explanation is simple.
Some tankers believe,
that rockets do not fly straight,
that they curve or waver in some way,
as they fly past the tanks.
This happens not with aimed shots,
but when firing a single rocket.
In reality, the rocket always flies straight.
It goes where you have aimed it.
These weird effects appear due to fact, that
rockets are fired from alternating sides,
so you do not see a straight line
like when firing a Thunder.
On Striker you do not see it,
and it is much harder to align it in your mind.
And the second thing, something that not everyone sees,
is that rockets accelerate while flying.
At the beginning they start flying quite slowly,
and then the get faster, faster and faster,
until they reach their
maximum speed.
Due to this fact,
when moving
and firing to the side,
it might appear that
that rocket is flying in an arc.
In fact, it flies straight.
Well.
We have slightly increased rockets starting velocity,
from 10 to 20 m/sec.
It is a very slight change,
but it makes it a bit easier
to shoot moving tanks.
We also did it because,
while there are some players
who understand how to play with this turret,
and use it very efficiently,
there are others who
do not understand this mechanic
of accelerating rockets,
and this makes them inefficient.
We don't want to give too much advantage
to tankers who can play very well,
but we want to help players
who are trying to learn how to play with this turret.
Since rocket starting velocity
is going to be increased slightly,
it will be easier to shoot Hornets or Wasps,
that try to run around you.
But remember, that you still need
to keep your distance due to the
second change that we've made in this turret.
That is the increase in maximum damage radius.
Every rocket has a splash damage radius.
And there is the maximum damage
that you can make,
and minimum damage, depending on the distance.
Splash damage has become a bit more efficient,
but you should understand that with increase in
efficiency, self-damage also increases.
So with all these changes
we're giving you tools,
that let you
work more efficient at longer distance,
but at the same time don't allow you to enter close combat,
because if you do, you will get
bigger self-damage.
We hope, that this Striker
will be slightly better to manage,
a bit easier, and more interesting.
Onwards...
Next, are the changes for Thunder.
Weak splash damage rate was changed
and maximum damage radius was increased.
It's simple. We found that
the damage reduction over distance, as a bit more
than needed. So, we have fixed it.
Now Thunder is much more efficient at that range,
as it was intended to be.
And at the same we have implemented the same changes
for self-damage in close combat, as with Striker.
I've already explained how this works while talking about Striker
so there's no need to explain it a second time.
The next and final change
is for Magnum.
It's quite simple.
Charging time will be increased from 2 seconds to 3 seconds.
What is this — a nerf or what?
We listened to your feedback about the fact
that even if you know
at which angle and how much power you should shoot,
it is very hard to hit the same point
multiple times in a row
especially when the shot is
not at maximum power.
This happens due to fact that
charging happens very quickly,
which makes it hard to hit a specific percentage.
If you have problems with graphics
for example your FPS is lower than 60 or even 30,
it becomes even harder to hit the exact percentage you want.
For this reason, we've increased charging time
from 2 to 3 seconds.
This means that
the power gauge
will fill up more slowly,
and hitting the needed percent of shot power
will be much easier.
Of course, you need to keep in mind, that at the same time
your firing rate at long distances
with maximum shot power, is decreasing.
But we think, that an increase in efficiency
at shorter distances
with less power makes it worth it.
Additionally, since Magnum
can reach any point on the map,
the slight decrease in firing rate
should not influence its efficiency too badly,
while the increase in efficiency,
and precision at short and mid distances,
should help significantly
and in general will make the turret better.
I didn't plan a proper ending,
so let me tell you something interesting, okay?
That's all the news about balance at the moment.
I hope, i explained everything clearly.
Please give us your feedback regarding
this video, and whether you liked it or not.
Should we do something like this in addition to the v-log
or separately from v-logs?
Should I explain everything in so much detail
or should I be more generic?
Write your thoughts
in the comments section.
Also, make sure you check out the changes
and tell us whether
we managed to achieve the goals I explained here,
or whether we did something wrong.
We really want to get your feedback.
Thank you.

Cherry Blossoms & Seoul Sky Observatory 석촌호수 벚꽃축제 & 서울 스카이 - TRAVEL KOREA 🇰🇷 - Duration: 11:09.
Good afternoon everybody!
Good afternoon
We just came out of Jamsil Station
and we're right outside of Lotte World Mall.
See that tower?
I don't know if it's visible or not.
That's where the fireworks were the other day
that I made a video about
and that's... what...
5th tallest building in the world...?
Yeah, apparently that's the standing right now.
Yesterday, we were here filming for a project that we're working on
and we noticed that the cherry blossoms are out.
And it just so happens that all these people around us
have also noticed the same thing.
Look at all the people crossing right now
We've reached "cluster fuck" status...
Ok, the crowd is starting to flow
we're able to get down to the park area, down by the lake.
The only downside of today
is the fact that the pollution levels are extremely high.
It's really bad.
It's probably why we can't see blue skies at all
the sky is pretty much the same shade as the cherry blossoms.
That's true.
It's just white against white
Something is a little surreal.
And probably, we shouldn't be out right now.
But you know, people are sacrificing their health to go out and see the cherry blossoms.
The news report said today's air quality in Seoul is exactly the same level as Beijing.
Which is notorious for having complete gray outs of their entire city of how bad it is.
Seems like this is the sweet spot right in front of the swans.
We're in a Mini-Stop and we're looking for some drinks and snacks.
Alright, so we picked up some provisions
We got some Kirin Ichiban beer here
it's the sakura version.
Cheers!
It's just the design, there's no cherry blossom flavor in here or anything.
Nope, it's just a design. hehe
Feels good anyway
Feels official
everything in theme
We've left the lake itself, and we are walking towards Lotte World Tower.
And we actually have a reservation.
-We're going up to the top. -Oh yeah! I'm so excited.
They have all these street food trucks lining the outside here.
Here we are at the lobby of the Lotte World Tower
We're currently in the Lotte World Mall, in the basement level.
And they have some pretty cool stuff here.
And the observatory deck, way at the top of the tower, is called "Seoul Sky."
You can see there are signs that point to it everywhere.
Wow! That column looks very cool.
So we picked up our tickets and we can go up anytime between 6:30pm and 7:00pm.
I reserved this time on purpose, I was hoping to be able to get up in the daylight
and watch the sun set.
We'll see how it goes...
It's time to go
"Thank you, please enjoy."
This attraction actually has metal detectors and X-ray scanners
just like an airport.
Wow, the carpet smells like super new.
Yeah. The pressure, coming up, you could feel your ears kind of popping.
It was really cool they showed the development of Seoul in the elevator.
Oh wow, we're all up in the smog.
You can barely see anything. -Yay!
Yay!
So there's this professional photo thing you can do and take your photo this way.
Going in?
-Yeah. -Let's do it.
-There's so many people! -hahahahaha
You can't tell what's going on.
You can't really see down.
118 floors above Seoul city.
As we mentioned earlier today
this is one of the worst days of pollution.
And of course you can't predict this but you can at least still see the river.
-You want to try it? -Yeah, let's do it.
Here we go.
Wow, look at that.
So you can see nothing right now.
Yeah it's very cloudy.
"1, 2, 3"
Woah...
Oh there's a swan down there.
-It's the swan we saw earlier. -That's the lake we were at.
We were like over there.
Looks like little submarines in the lake.
Oh it does look like that.
That's from the reflection, I think. hehehe
Cause they disappear when I move.
Look, Lotte World!
Holy crap
There's a cafe and stuff up here.
It's a little windy up here.
The feeling of the air is different, though.
Wow
It's really windy over on this side.
Windy!
Oooh, and a little cold too.
Wow
We are now at 496 meters.
Just a few more meters to the top floor
The top~ish floor, I guess.
Here we are, the 123rd floor. This is the top floor.
There was no escalator or elevator, so we just took the stairwell.
The question is can we actually get in.
Is it open?
No. I think they're not ready for it yet.
Awwww
They should have said something.
Imagine if you got stuck.
Oh, there's more. Can we go to the roof?
"Do not go upstair"
Or you will be in despair.
"Do not go upstair"
Alright... well....
At least we tried.
Do you want to walk down every floor on the way down?
You can, I'll take the elevator and meet you downstairs.
Whaaat
hehehe
Ah, can you do the thing where you look down the middle?
and see all the way down?
Yes, you can!
Can you see far, though? I can't.
It's really dark, though, so you can't really tell. But you can.
And that was our Lotte Tower adventure!
Thanks for watching guys!

Arvind Kejriwal talks Delhi MCD elections - Duration: 6:28.
Modi ji isn't going to run the MCD.
Only Kejriwal can run the MCD.
It's pointless to vote for Congress.
Not on merits. Congress is finished.
Their politicians are leaving them.
The ones left will leave after the elections.
Voting for BJP means voting for dengue, Chikungunya and trash.
That's why you shouldn't vote for the BJP.
Everyone should vote for Aam Aadmi Party.
Factually, there are two things: What BJP has done in the MCD for 10 years;
And what the Delhi government has done in 2 years.
Two years ago, Modi ji started the Swach Bharat programme.
It was a good campaign.
But, Delhi's BJP ended it.
So, that clean India and Delhi only Aam Aadmi Party can achieve. Not BJP.
In Delhi, there are 40,000 dark spots
that we identified
places that are dark at night
We decided to put up poles and lights there
To enhance women's safety
By passing a resolution in the house for MCD, BJP made sure that
Delhi/AAP/Kejriwal government's money can't be used to put up lights on MCD's roads
Because they felt that if AAP installed light poles, they'll take away the votes.
So, for petty politics, women have to suffer the loss.
All the money lapsed
The dark spots are still dark
We took care of the area under us
But Delhi's MCD roads weren't allowed to have light poles installed on them
In the same way,
last year, Rs 1500 crores (including last year and this year's budget)
were reserved for Delhi's colonies that didn't have pipe water supply
that depend on water tankers for water supply
on war footing by 31 December 2017
we would supply water to all the houses by pipelines.
309 colonies have received piped water supply
But MCD did not allow us to lay pipelines near MCD's roads
From the time our government has been formed,
we always said that there is no lack of money
They just lacked intent
Now that there is intent, work is getting done
In Delhi, in 2 years, on one side
we have done so much work
People's electricity bills — Delhi has the cheapest electricity in the country.
You can mention the figures
In Delhi, 400 units of electricity costs Rs 1370
In Mumbai, 400 units electricity costs Rs 4000
In Gujarat, 400 units of electricity costs Rs 2700
In Bengaluru, it costs Rs 2600
So, Congress and BJP -ruled states electricity costs more
We have made electricity cheaper, put water pipelines in 309 colonies,
made water free, built 160 mohalla clinics,
1000 are going to be built
We created infrastructure equivalent to 250 schools
We made medicines and medical tests free
Even after spending so much, we've made 7 new flyovers in the last 2 years in Delhi.
We've even reduced tax across the board.
VAT rates of 12% were reduced to 5%
Sweets, clothes, marble, wood, snacks have less tax on them in Delhi
So, we are reducing tax and increasing expenditure
Because we are reducing corruption and saving money
The way we have done it in Delhi, I don't need tax from you
Why should I loot your pocket?
In the same way in MCD, the collection from house tax is little
but there is a lot of harassment
It is a very complicated thing
An inspector goes to a common man with a wrong house tax bill
you have to go to the office, pay a bribe to get your bill corrected
So, lets just end it
Our overall calculation shows that you can actually run MCD profitably
and you can actually make profits without having house tax
Then why should we tax from you when we don't need it?
If the EVMs are bad, it doesn't affect Kejriwal's health
It hurts the entire nation's health
If EVMs are bad, the country is doomed
My worry is more about that
Your next question will be that why we didn't question it when we got 67 seats?
There wasn't any evidence then
We received 67 seats, but BJP won Haryana, Maharashtra and Jharkhand
We didn't question those
So, whoever won in the last two years were not questioned
In the last four months, something has happened that suddenly,
there is a lot of evidence against EVM
Instances of manipulation are coming in.
Unfortunately, Election Commission's response is that nothing is wrong
Machines are fine
They are not investigating it
If an independent candidate in Pune says that I got 0 votes
but I should have got my own vote
my wife's vote, 2-5 votes I should get
So, it's a very serious thing
Where did his 5 votes go?
It should be investigated. Election commission isn't even investigating it.

How To Restore Wooden Furniture - D.I.Y. At Bunnings - Duration: 3:43.
I'm going to show you how to restore wooden furniture.
These are the tools and equipment to do the job.
I've got my sander and a variety of sanding pads to get a nice fine finish, my turps to
clean it all up when I finish sanding it, I've got my paint, some brushes, drop sheets
to protect the surfaces, and of course my safety gear.
I love old furniture.
I'm gonna restore grandma's old table.
There's a lotta memories on this table from when I was a child, but it's definitely had
better days.
The first step is to give it a good clean with a damp cloth.
The reason we give it a good clean is to make sure we've got all the dirt and grit, so it
doesn't affect the sanding and scratch the surface later on.
Now we're ready to sand.
I'm going to start first with a coarse-grade sandpaper to remove all the old varnish, the
coffee, the wine stains for many years of use.
Don't forget your safety equipment and always use a drop sheet to protect the floors and
surfaces.
For this project, I'm only going to restore the top.
I'm going to leave the legs and underneath exactly as they are.
Give it a good dust off in-between sanding to see how you're going.
As you can see, it's starting to look good now, but it's still a little patchy so I wanna
do some more sanding, still.
It's important to check the sandpaper regularly as the grit will wear down with use.
What I'm aiming for is to go back to the raw timber, like this [Inaudible 00:01:34] here.
So we'll keep going with the coarse sandpaper until we get to there.
Okay, I'm really happy with how that's starting to look now.
But I'm gonna use a nice high grde sandpaper to give a nice smooth finish before painting.
This is a 240 grit, which will give a really nice fine, smooth finish.
The higher the grit, the smoother the finish.
So I'm really happy with the way it looks now.
I'm going to dry brush it off and then using a little bit of mineral turps, I'll wipe up
to get any fine residue that might still be left.
Once the mineral turpentine has dried, we're ready to stain or varnish it.
I've chosen to give this one a clear varnish.
Give the varnish a good stir first.
This varnish [Inaudible 00:02:35] are milky, but dries clear and will really bring out
the grain in the timber.
I'm lucky there's good ventilation in this room, but if you're in a closed in area, wear
a mask.
Always read the instructions on the back of your tin for drying time.
Once this coat of varnish has dried, I'm going to give it a light hand sand.
This ensures I'll have a nice, smooth, glossy finish at the end.
And then I'm gonna give it's final coat of varnish.
Make sure you always give the can a very good stir in-between coats at each time you use
it, especially for the final coat.
I'm gonna follow the grain of the timber with nice long streaks to make sure it's brushed
up to a nice finish at the end.
I'm really happy with how grandma's table turned out.
Doesn't it look great?
And that's how you restore wooden furniture.

S. Korea's exports jump 28% y/y in first 20 days of April - Duration: 0:51.
South Korea's exports jumped nearly 30 percent during the first three weeks of April... thanks
to rising overseas demand for semiconductors and automobiles.
According to the Korea Customs Service on Friday, Korea's exports from April 1st to
the 20th jumped more than 28 percent from the same period last year, with total shipments
reaching 30-point-four billion U.S. dollars.
If this trend continues for the rest of the month, it could mark the first six-month rise
since late 2011.
By region, exports to the European Union doubled on-year followed by Vietnam with a 67 percent
rise and China with 14 percent.
Korea's imports rose by more than 16 percent to 25 billion dollars.

The Law Against ''Preparation Of Organized Crime Like Terrorism Etc'' Is Debated In Parliament Now - Duration: 2:48.
Hello Everybody. This is the Japan with Enark YouTube-Channel, current events section.
This is the first video since more than two months.
It's an update video to my first video about a proposed
"Law Against the Preparation of Organized Crime, like Terrorism Etc.".
If you haven't seen my first video on this issue, please check it out.
The cabinet of Prime Minister Abe has recently approved the draft of this law,
and it is currently debated in parliament.
As I stated in my previous video, I've nothing against catching terrorists before they can execute an attack.
However, according to the debate in parliament, MPs of the opposition have pointed out,
that the current version of the draft would punish acts,
that could hardly qualify as acts of preparing terror attacks.
Acts like preparing to collect wild mushrooms, logging,
or collecting empty beverage cans and plastic bottles would qualify for punishment.
Well, actually doing most of this without official permission or license is illegal anyway,
but the new law would also make just the consideration illegal.
Government officials claimed, that it only applies when members of crime organizations or terrorist groups would do it,
and it would be guaranteed, that normal citizens wouldn't get into the focus of investigation,
but MPs from the opposition, especially of the Democratic Party, do not see, how that would be guaranteed.
They see the problem in a lack of safeguard to properly distinguish between
"members of crime organizations" and "ordinary citizens".
It's not outlined in the draft, and government officials can't explain it satisfactorily.
Since the coalition has a comfortable majority in parliament,
and opposing interest groups of normal citizens aren't a great deal in Japan,
I don't think, that the opposition has any power to prevent this new law.
Let's all hope, that the current concerns of the opposition
wouldn't become backed up by practice later.
Japan has one of lowest crime rates of all countries on Earth.
It really doesn't need to become a paranoid police state.

Career in Life Insurance | How to Become a Life Insurance Agent # ChetChat - Duration: 15:39.
Hey there, welcome to ChetChat. We promised to get back to you with jobs and exciting opportunities
And we have with us today somebody from the insurance industry because the way it is
Insurance is the second biggest employer today after the Indian Railways, so what better, we've got with us with Vighnesh Shahane
Who's the CEO of IDBI Federal life insurance so Hi Vighnesh and welcome to the show
Hi, Chetna welcome to IDBI Federal
Oh yes, and thank you so much for agreeing to be with us because this is such a huge industry
And there are so many notions are there because it dates, predates you know for years and years
So tell us about what you see as a future of this industry
You know the private insurance industry in India is about 16 years old and it will be broken on three distinct phases
the first Phase is
seven no eight years of heady growth and
there was a Gold Rush, and the Global Meltdown happened and the next six or seven years was a period of a
Little bit of the degrowth. The last couple of years. I think we're consolidating
The sentiment is very positive and the medium to long-term outlook for life insurance in India
Is very positive. So that's exciting. We've got a positive growth. We've got an under insured population
So what should the youth look out for in this going forward? Should they be here and what is in it for them?
My message to the youth would be definitely this is an industry you should try to be in. If you are interested in an industry
which is which is exciting, interesting challenging thrill a minute and
Keeps turning on its head every three months
it is the right place to be in. I have been a banker longer than I've been an insurance guy I have sold both financial products and
Insurance is one financial product which makes a difference to people's lives
I believe you need to be chosen by God to sell insurance. If that motivates you, you should be here
You've come to the right place if you are motivated by God, but let's understand now within this sector
there is this notion that is only about sales, so let's first talk about sales and as of course a huge
Non-sales portion, so let's look at how do they actually work around different avenues to sell insurance?
Yes, unlike any other industry, any other company, sales is what puts of lunch on the table
And it is no different for insurance, but more than sales, there is is more to insurance than sales. There are as many
Department as a bank would have. There's marketing, there is auditor, their is finance, compliance and we have about 15 departments
Besides sales and even within sales we have a lot of channels. So let's say there is a young graduate
Looking to a career in insurance perhaps in sales
What are the different avenues available to him?
So we have young graduates coming to us either fresh out of college or with one or two years work experience?
We not too fussed about that. I think
Everybody should start their career in sales
If you don't have this perspective on sales you view the world through an excel spreadsheet
And that's what you are left doing. So young graduates showing a lot of passion enthusiasm
attitude, energy can start a career in sales and like I said in sales, we have many channels. We have an agency channel
Where he is the boss . He's not an employee the company. He works
at his pace, at his convenience, and he earns a commission. We also have sales
positions for employees in Different channels
So depending on his aptitude
Attitude and his interest he can forge a career in sales can keep upgrading skills doing other courses. And there are a lot of short-term and medium-term
Courses in insurance available now. I believe success is a culture I
Don't believe you can be a successful sales guy
And if you put a head to it you can't be a successful product or marketing or HR guy. Vighnesh
You drew out this map for us where you said if you're interested in sales they can go the agency route or they can be
An employee for the company and be in sales
So let's talk about agency since that's like a really large chunk of people, so if they want to become a life insurance agent
What is the process for that and Timelines etc
Yes, so if you don't become a life insurance agent you have a choice of 24 insurance company is in front of you including the LIC
The minimum qualifications for life insurance agents are
12th standard, there is a hundred hour
Course after which there is an online examination, so you do 100 hours and you do the online
Examination and your a licensed agent with that company. When you choose to do an examination through a company
You're tied to that company
You can't be your agent for multiple companies although you are an entrepreneur, it's a variable job you have to be tied to that company
Okay, if you do the examination through that company,
So you do the 100 hours through the company and the company sponsors your online exam
And then you're tied to that company,
In Agency you're the boss. There is no ceiling too much you can earn and
even today in my company there are the top three or four agents earn more money than I do, and that's a great
Thing yeah, and I get excited seeing that
So it's all a function of how hard you work, how many people you meet. Because insurance in India, Chetna
is not bought, it is sold
So you have to be eyeball to eyeball with as many people in the day as you can and then you earn commissions
You earn renewal commission. So I sell you a policy I earn front end first up commission
If you renew your policy next year with no effort from me and just probably a phone call to remind you and the year after
That, I earn a renewal commission. If you're willing to bend you back, work hard
work diligently
The Sky is the limit. You could write your own paycheck every month
but there seems to be some sort of
Misconception should I say or some
apprehensions that people feel about
This this career being a life insurance agent. Like I said, you know there are apprehensions about most sales jobs
Most people especially have seen this amongst
Postgraduate students whether they are CA's or MBAs and you know they feel that a cabin is going to be waiting for them
But there are people who love doing Agency because you are your own boss you write your own paycheck
You work timings which are convenient to you, there is a lot of flexibility in the job, and there's no ceiling of the money you can earn
So there is a negative perception about sales, but that's true for sales
Not for agency alone. Probably more so for insurance because insurance is more of a push producti
They feel that you know, it's the best way to lose friends
You know we all need insurance.
So but it's probably the perception that it needs to be stuffed down people's throat
And we need to con people, it's not so. You know there's a saying in
insurances
There is no wife, who thinks that her husband needs insurance
and there's no widow who thinks husband had enough insurance
Hmm
That just tells you, that insurance. It's probably got the value of sand when you sell it to a persons and you feel that you
he is doing you a favor, but actually you are doing him a favor. Coz when the event does happen
Normally he would wish that he had more insurance
there are so many cases we have in our company where we settle claims of people between the age of 35 or 40
and they have young families single earners, and that's when you realize the
impact
Insurance makes on people's lives. Now looking at an employee within the company a sales function, a fresh graduate
So in that case you said in an agency could be he or she could be 12th pass
that is the minimum. But for being an employee in the sales function in your company
What would be the minimum qualifications ? At least a graduation. You know I
something I interview in my earlier role I used to interview people
I used to know the guy is right, but the way he shook my hand
[wow]
What should come across is a lot of passion, a lot of energy and enthusiasm for sales
Because there is nothing else Chetna, to look for in a graduate, except which college he went to and how much he
Scored in his finally year, which really does count it's not an indicator, right. Tell me once they join you what is the future career path
They can expect. Okay, so there are lot of stories of people here who've
started at a sales level a
graduate, post graduate or probably graduate with two or three years of work experience, and they've gone on to
mid management or senior management levels and different functions functions like product, marketing strategy or
Digital, HR
These are functions
They could branch out into. Some of them have worked in all five functions
Over the period of the last 15 years and having begun the career in sales and
not equipped and not armed with any fancy degree from any fancy college but just the passion to learn
The passion to contribute to the company. So Vighnesh we figured being in sales with you require a minimum
Qualification of a graduate and a whole lot of passion now let's look at people who probably don't want to be in sales
But want to be associated with this growing industry of insurance
what are the kinds of roles available to them and what could be the
Qualifications that they need for those. Ya, so for the non sales roles Chetna, we're a little more stringent in terms of qualification or work ex
We won't take a fresh graduate into a non sales roles like compliance or risk or finance
or investment
But we look for CA's
We look for CFA's, we look for ICWA's , or we could look at some MBA's also
But having said that like I said a lot of people have
graduated shown a whole
load of truckloads of attitude and passion
[and done well and they've not been armed with CA's or MBA's
So there is the way you can grow without all of that absolutely
But let's look at say an actuary, wnad what kind of ... actuarial is a little different
Actually you need a flair for mathematics and statistics, these are the guys who price products and make assumptions on mortality and death
So to be an actuary you need to do 15 exams. The quickest
One who's been
Done these 15 exams was in seven or eight years
But the good news is that you could start appearing for these exams in college
After you pass 15 exams, You become an appointed actuary
And that's stardom. That's interesting. So seven or eight years or a little bit more than that
But you can start right after your twelfth standard and a huge flair for Maths and statistics. And there is a lot of demand for actuaries
Yes, not only with us, but also with health insurance companies, life companies, even overseas
And the Actuary is the highest paid employee of insurance company, sure sure the appointed actuary
Now let's look at the CA's and CFA's who are joining you. What are the kinds of roles they can expect? We look for roles in finance
Risk, which is extremely critical department of Insurance company
audit
These are three functions. We would definitely look at a CA or a CFA. Probably in investments,
because CA's to my mind come with a lot of
ability to go indepth
So Vighnesh, tell us you've been here for a while in this industry tell us about that one moment
Where you actually felt thankful that you were here. To help
These guys get a perspective of what happens to a sales guy, how difficult life is as the field I
Told them to sell a policy to their best friend or relative or parent and come back,
and not
even 15% of them could do it even to their best friend. The best friend was buying policies from somewhere
So I said, that's exactly how tough it is. So you ought to eat what you cook. So you buy a policy from us
You buy a policy from us. Yeah, So you understand, And we had this online
economical term product which was no fuss and
two months after this
There was this employee, a colleague of mine, 32 years of age, just married for two years
Nonsmoker non-drinker
slim
Vegetarian oh my God who had a sudden heart attack and expired
And he had bought this policy for 60 lakhs because I told everybody if you can't sell, you need to buy a policy of 60 lakhs
His wife didn't know it
We knew he had taken this policy becuase
He bought it through us so I got the claim check out and went and presented it to his wife and she had tears in her eyes
Sure it's such a big thing. You know if I had spoken to her two months back and said that you know
Rahul, you know you should buy a policy for Rahul because you know God forbid something happens and she would have felt offended
No he's 32
How can you say this to 32 years fit guy who doesn't smoke and doesn't drink
But the day I gave her the check I'm sure the first thought that
First thought was obviously a lot of gratitude and a lot of happiness, but somewhere she would have thought that I wish Rahul
had taken a policy twice as big. So that's the power of insurance and this happens all the time
It's a myth that the expectancy in India 65 or 70 or whatever number you can throw
But there's a lot of people between 35 and 45 because of the stressful life people lead in metros
who are
Dying of heart attacks and who have young families and they are the sole breadwinners, they have loans to pay and that's where insurance steps in
No, absolutely
I think this puts the whole thing in perspective
That we are not only working for a good paycheck like you said we can write on our own, but we're genuinely
And that's why I said that
Yeah, you need to be selected by God to sell insurance because you're impacting lives
You are so you'll be true and honest to your profession work hard and God will reward you
So tell us before we wrap the show just to put some numbers in perspective
So a few numbers that I read was that they're roughly about 2 million
agents today
Selling life insurance, there were 3 million about five years so there has been this attrition of agents. It's going to pick up again and
Roughly say a
2 to 3 lakh
employees yes
So what what are the kind of numbers that you?
Have within your. So we have about 8,000 to 10,000 agents who are tied with us
I spoke to you about having different
sales channels, so we have about a 1000 - 1200 people or 1100 people in the other sales channels which are
online, group, broking, Bank bancassurance which is about 75% of that for two banks
Or 800 people
in al the other departments, we spoke about. So those are large numbers, and growing, yes
So for all of you out there. You've got job opportunities
We've laid out the path for you, so wish you luck with your future, and thank you Vighnesh so much for sharing this resources

Trump says N. Korea is "menace" while expressing faith in China - Duration: 0:39.
In his latest denouncement of the Kim Jong-un regime, President Trump has described North
Korea as a "menace."
While he didn't pull his punches on Pyongyang,.. Trump expressed faith in China's ability to
rein in the North's nuclear and ballistic missile ambitions.
His latest comments came during a White House news conference on Thursday with Italy's prime
minister.
President Trump also hinted that China would earn a better trade deal if it helped the
United States address North Korea's nuclear issue.
Trump declined to comment when asked if he felt North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was mentally
unstable and therefore, unable to be reasoned with.

N. Korea makes significant progress in SLBM development according to UN report - Duration: 0:49.
North Korea is making significant advances toward developing submarine-launched ballistic
missiles, according to a UN report.
The Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday on the study, compiled by a panel of eight
UN experts.
They found that the North's KN-11 missile, also known as the Pukkuksong-1, has made significant
progress.
The report points to the shift from a liquid-fuel to a solid-fuel engine as a "major technological
development, affording greater stability, quicker preparation and longer fuel storage."
Pyongyang has conducted five tests of the KN-11 missile, including one successful test
in August, where it flew some 500 kilometers.

UN Security Council threatens additional sanctions on N. Korea - Duration: 1:50.
The United Nations Security Council has denounced North Korea over its latest ballistic missile
test and threatened to slap new sanctions on the regime.
While the UN has warned Pyongyang of further measures before, this latest statement makes
specific mention of sanctions, signaling a tougher stance from the global body.
Kim Mok-yeon starts us off.
In a unanimous statement adopted by the UN Security Council on Thursday, council members
strongly condemned North Korea's recent ballistic missile tests.
They also threatened to punish Pyongyang for what they called the regime's highly destabilizing
behavior.
The Security Council vowed to continue monitoring the situation and adopt tougher sanctions
on the North if necessary.
South Korea's foreign ministry welcomed the statement, noting the stern response from
Security Council members, including China and Russia.
On Wednesday, the United States had accused Russia of blocking an earlier version of the
statement, with Moscow insisting on the inclusion of language that calls for dialogue with North
Korea.
The UN statement is being seen as a significant coup for the Security Council, mainly due
to its backing by Pyongyang's main ally China.
Recently, the U.S. has been dialing up the pressure on Beijing to use its leverage in
assisting the Americans and its regional allies to rein in Pyongyang.
The Trump administration has repeatedly said that all options are on the table in regards
to North Korea.
It also signaled a possible reinstatement of North Korea on its list of state sponsors
of terrorism as a means to further pressure the regime.
The UN Security Council has adopted six sanctions resolutions on North Korea since 2006.
Two of these were adopted last year to ramp up the punitive measures on Pyongyang and
put a tighter squeeze on the regime's hard currency revenue.

Trump launches trade probe on imported steel - Duration: 2:16.
President Trump has ordered an investigation into the alleged dumping of steel into the
U.S. by foreign competitors, raising the possibility of new tariffs on imported steel, and that
could possibly include steel from South Korea as well.
The move is the latest step in Trump's "America First" policies aimed at boosting U.S. manufacturers
and preserving American jobs.
Ro Aram has more.
At a White House ceremony on Thursday, President Trump signed a memorandum ordering the U.S.
Commerce Department to probe the impact of steel imports on U.S. defense.
He invoked a rarely-used trade law that allows the president to impose restrictions on imports
for reasons of national security.
[Reuters Edit No. 4229 00:44']
"Today, I'm directing the Department of Commerce to immediately prioritize the investigation
that began yesterday and really long before that -- because Wilbur and I have been working
on this for a long time -- into foreign steel arriving into our markets, and to submit a
report on the effects of these foreign steel products on the national security of the United
States.
It's not just the pricing, it's not just employment, it also has to do with the national security
of our country."
This raises the possibility of new tariffs and the action triggered a rally in American
steel stocks.
Trump has maintained a strongly protectionist stance regarding trade issues dating back
to his presidential campaign, stoking worries that a potential trade war could break out
under his administration.
Although he didn't explicitly mention China, the country is the largest national producer
of steel and makes far more than it consumes.
To find buyers for its excess output, China sells steel cheap overseas, often undercutting
domestic producers.
In the U.S., Chinese steel makes up 26 percent of the total market.
While trade protectionism may be in play with the latest order, experts also assess that
the attribution to national security is because, in case of an emergency, America wouldn't
have to rely too much on foreign steel to build defenses.
