So, I'm having dinner the other night with some friends of mine and there is a prophet there, a man that literally hears from God and speaks some of the thoughts of God about a person. And this man started prophesying over another person. He had never seen him before. His name was John Paul Jackson. You tell me, I heard him say that you were a prophet. I heard him say you specialize in dreams and then a number of other things, but it must be so strong. I mean, were you kind of taking aback that this stranger read your mail? I loved it. I called my wife and she said, now you know how other people feel when you come into the room and tell them. Because I was so, it was such a wonderful thing that happened. What happened Sid is this, the God who is eternal sees outside of time and he sees what is going to happen to you and he will send various men and women to you or angels to you or he will speak to you. He will appear to you. He makes himself known to you to help you achieve the purpose for which he put you here on earth. And this prophet nailed him and then talked about his move that he was planning about and just one fact after another after another. Everyone was overwhelmed because this prophet knew nothing, but the reason I had this prophet and the reason you're about to meet him is I was at a meeting. He never heard my name before. He's from Ghana. He knew nothing about me and I want you to see just a tiny bit of what he prophesied and trust me it's a tiny bit because it went on and on and on. And some of the things you'll figure out. The others, well I'm waiting for God to cause them to happen, but you know what? I believe they're going to happen and I believe that something special is going to happen to you. Let's go to that clip right now.  Your voice is going to be heard on the airwaves and the internet. God said I'm going to begin to give you an awesome power. When I got here, I shook your hand and God told me he's taking you to another level.  And God said many are going to come into the kingdom of God. God said, son, I'm going to Amanda, Simba Ronda, Bambru City. God said, I'm going to cause you to do things that I would say the average media or the average airwaves don't do it. You are going to be radical for Jesus. And God said, I'm going to begin to give you things that you're going to begin to do and talk about subjects that the average media would not do it because if they do it, they're going to fire them. But God said, I'll put a fire into you like Jeremiah. And I'm going to use you as a minister to the Jews. I see you talking to a businessman. I see you talking to engineers. I see you talking to doctors.  And I'm raising you up, I say, Jeremiah of your generation. You're going to speak the word of the Lord. You're going to put things together. You're going to cognize.  I don't know about you, but I am awed of what this gift is that's sitting right next to me. His name is Dr. Charles Dixon.


Hello, everyone. Welcome to options with Doug Streaming live Monday Wednesday and Friday at 1 30 p.m. Eastern time on book map discord and the book map YouTube channel Before I get started. I need to go through the disclosures General disclosure all book map them in a materials information and Presentations are for educational purposes only and should not be considered specific investment advice nor recommendations Riscous goes you're trading futures equities and options involves substantial risk of loss It is not suitable for all investors past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results Here's my contact information the best way to get in touch with me is through discord may name on discord as Doug P Also in book map discord. There's an options dash jug chat channel. That's a great place to post questions Comments and content related to the topics of my presentation and the topics of the channel that I'll go through in just a moment I'm also on X formerly noticed Twitter. My name there is that Doug plus Here are the key tenets to my approach for trading. This is the basis of my approach to trading I believe that options trades and market maker hedging activity are key drivers of price and many stocks and futures and Certainly in the large cap Stocks that I follow the mag 7 stocks as well as the equity index futures like the S&B 500 and the NASDAQ and for the S&B 500 SPX is the underlying index spy as the ETF version of that index and ES the ES in many futures That's a derivative of SPX and when traders buying sell puts and calls and SPX and spy Market makers take the opposite side of those trades and they hedge their delta exposure With ES futures and for the NASDAQ 100 NDX is the underlying index QQQ is the much more liquid for ETF version of that index and NQ is a derivative of NDX and when traders buy and sell puts and calls and NDX and QQQ Market makers take the opposite side of those trades and they hedge their delta exposure within Q futures The focus of my presentation today is options order flow The impact of options markets on stocks and futures and the influence of market maker hedging flow on price action I have a two-step process for trading and the first is planning and I use positional analysis I look at how traders and market makers are positioned at the options market and how those positions change from day to day to develop a thesis regarding the expected trading range and Volatility for the day as well as the directional bias and the second step in my process is Execution I look at real-time order flow and book map and real-time market maker hedging flow and spot gamma hero To confirm my thesis and for setups or entries and exits and when I talk about setups today I will be focusing on an underlying asset for example setups in the SB 500 Can be taken any number of ways with the S futures spy shares spy options SPX options or even ES options Questions and comments are welcome and I will be watching both the options dash jug chat channel and discord As well as the chat and YouTube free questions to comments. Please feel free to post. I'll do my best to answer your questions Here's my agenda for today Monday, April 22nd First of all, I want to go over news items economic data and events coming up for the rest of the week Then I'll go through my positional analysis from earlier today I want to talk briefly about the dispersion trade and that was definitely in play last week And then I'll review some setups from earlier today And then I'll take a look at the live market and when I get to the live market if anyone has any stocks They want me to take a look at please let me know and I'll be glad to do that All right, let's get started first of all news items economic data events. I should add earnings to that For this week really begin tomorrow 945 a.m. Eastern Time tomorrow PMI data comes out and then at 1 p.m There's a two-year node auction and then after the market closes Tesla reports earnings on Wednesday Durable goods orders Economic data comes out at 830 a.m. Eastern Time and at 1 p.m. There's a five-year node auction and then meta reports earnings after the market closes and then on Thursday the GDP Report comes out at 830 a.m. Eastern Time and There's also another node auction. That's at 1 p.m. For the seven-year notes and then Google and Microsoft report earnings after the market closes and then on Friday the big economic data Release for the week PCE data comes out at 830 a.m. Eastern Time and then Michigan consumer sentiment at 10 a.m So Big data releases this week as well as for the 7 mag 7 stocks report earnings this week Or let's move on to positional analysis now I'm going to start with the SB 500 This is the yes futures in book map and Before take a closer look at this chart. I want to step back take a look at a higher time frame I'm going to go to the underlying index That is SPX We've all seen this chart before Rally began last year SPX rallied up for five months before big this correction began on April 1st So let's go take a look at that now So that was a One-day chart for SPX now. Let's take a look at a one-hour chart. This is a 30-day one-hour chart This is showing the top-end of That green trend line High for SPX around 52 65 April 1st downtrend began then began to accelerate All right, let's take a look at the levels on this chart First the dash purple lines are showing the lower and upper weekly expected move. This is based on the options market This is based on the closing price for SPX from last Friday. These lines will remain in place for the entire week and then the Lower and upper daily expected move that's shown with the dash light blue lines Know that SPX is now trading above the upper daily expected move Also based on the options market based on the closing price for SPX from last Friday Those lines are updated every day. I post these levels in In the options dash jug chat channel every evening the day before So again SPX trading above the upper daily expected move All right, so that is a one-day chart now, let's wrap this up with a Of taking a look at the spot gamma levels on this chart The the red solid lines are spot gamma levels. These are provided to spot gamma subscribers They're available on a variety of trading platforms Again, this is thinkorswim. I'm going to point out the key daily levels First of all, here's the put wall at 4900 That's a strike where the largest net negative gamma that can be expected to act as support note that level did move lower from from Friday The next level up is 5000 that is the absolute gamma strike. That's a strike where the largest absolute positive and negative gamma So that's where most of the gamma weighted open interest is concentrated and above that is the volatility trigger that is obscured by the zero gamma level, which is Very close So that is the volatility trigger that is spot gammas proprietary Volatility flip level below that level market makers position on the gamma curve is negative in a negative gamma environment Market makers have to trade with price to hedge their delta exposure That tends to enhance or increase volatility and note. This is a very negative gamma environment Gamma notional at the beginning of the day for SPX was quite negative and SPX is still trading below the volatility trigger in a negative gamma environment and just for reference Above that level market makers position on the gamma curve is positive in a positive gamma environment Market makers have to trade Against price to hedge their delta exposure that tends to subdue or decrease volatility and Just above that is the call wall CW there at 50 100 that's a strike where the largest net positive gamma that can be expected to act as resistance Note that level did move down as I expected from last week. It had moved up to 5,500 On Friday and given the options expiration. I expected that level to move lower and that's exactly what it did In this case down to 5,100. So again, that's a strike with a large net positive gamma that can be expected to act as resistance so the potential resistance at 5,100 potential ceiling for price and potential floor at 4,900 our for SPX volatility trigger put wall and call wall a move lower that is bearish all right, let's Take a quick look at a one-minute chart just to get a closer look at the SPX levels and play for today There's this key 5,000 level Did act as resistance earlier today now SPX trading above that also the upper daily expected move and then this 4977 level Was in play earlier today That was noted as support in the SWAT gamma AM Founders note that is a large gamma 4 level all right gap up move down Lower the day right around 4970 And now SPX continues to rally All right, let's go to book map now In the book map. I have my own cloud notes So I can show SPX levels on this chart. There's that 5,000 level That is the absolute gamma strike that was noted as resistance in the spot gamma AM Founders note There's this 4977 level notice support. I also have spy levels on this chart There's the 500 absolute gamma strike put wall so it looks like The SME 500 has recovered the spy 500 put wall also we have key levels for ES on this chart There's the upper daily expected move and the 5,050 level just above that all right now There is a difference in price between ES and SPX that offset today is right around 37 points so I'm showing SPX 5000 at ES 5037 That does change a little bit every day note that I do post my The index relationships that I'm using every day. I post those in and discord All right, so key levels earlier today For the initial move after the cash open this 498 level that's spy 498 level continued to act as resistance SMB 500 move lower 497 resistance SB 500 broke below the 4977 support level also Spy 496 and is now continuing to move higher Again, the SB 500 has recovered the 5000 level and working on the spy 500 level all right shifts and levels again. I mentioned for SPX Volatility trigger put wall and call wall moved lower and strangely for spy all levels remain Unchanged That's not the case for SBX and DX QQQ so spy kind of stands out with no levels All levels key daily levels unchanged Or let's take a look at NASDAQ And we'll take a look at setups in just a few minutes. All right, so here's the NQ futures a book ma'am Let's take a quick look at The underlying index charts first of all QQQ earlier today the Regular trading hours are shown with a dark shaded portion to the right earlier today just after the open 418 resistance and then the 414 acting as support also this 413 4 6 4 16 point 3 1 C3 level acting as support Then resistance This is before the cash open support then resistance and now QQQ is up to the 419 level. Let's take a quick look at NDX and Then we'll get back to book ma'am NDX all four key daily levels for NDX did shift lower So right now NDX is trading still below its call wall at 17,250 and The volatility trigger at 17,000 220 All right, let's get back to book ma'am Here's that 418 level resistance earlier today and then Yeah, NASDAQ traded down to the 414 level that is also the 17,150 and can you 17,150 and also the NDX 17,000 level so that cluster of levels acting as support All right, so it looks like NQ is now up to its upper daily expected moves So again, I have my own cloud notes so I can show NDX levels QQQ levels as well as key levels for NQ like the upper daily expected move and also the the big round numbers the zeros in the 50s. All right, we'll talk about setups in a few minutes. So again for For NDX all four key daily levels shifted lower that is bearish and for QQQ The volatility trigger put wall and call wall all shifted lower. That's also bearish All right, let's take a look at gamma notional see how market makers were positioned in the options market at the beginning of the day And then we'll get to some setups So this is gamma notional Market makers position on the gamma curve At the beginning of the day for the SB 500 and NASDAQ note all these numbers are negative. They're quite negative And they did shift higher From friday that is to be expected after Options expiration some of that gamma Did expire on friday. So there's still quite negative, but slightly Less negative than than on friday again To be expected After expiration. All right, let's see what what this means I'm going to take a look at the van a model This will give us a graphical representation of what I'm talking about So what this chart is showing is Delta notional market makers delta notional on the vertical axis for spx spot price of of spx on the horizontal axis So this curve is a typical typical of a negative gamma environment All right, there are two curves on this chart actually. So the first Like gray curve shows how market makers delta notional may change with changes in price only And the purple curve shows how market makers delta notional may change with changes in price and applied volatility And that change in delta notional with the change in applied volatility is the van effect van is a second order greek All right, let's take a look some some prices So we know the low of the day Was right around 49 70. Let's see if we can find that on this chart So that's right around here So what this chart is showing as price Is increasing Market makers delta notional Is decreasing So they can buy back short futures This is showing the difference Between the Delta notional to be expected with changes in price only And delta notional to be expected with changes when you add in implied volatility I always like to take a look at this especially in a negative gamma environment So this is adding fuel to any move higher Let's take a quick look at Give me just a minute. Sorry just a moment. Let's take a look at vix So we know that price has been rallying moving higher. Let's take a look at vix As a proxy for implied volatility zoom in on this chart dark shaded portion Regular trading hours vix has been dropping steadily Since about 1115 And we'll see that's That's about when this rally began. So vix dropping So we know the price is increasing implied volatility Is dropping leading us to this Vanna model the purple curve Put vanna rally Contributing to this move higher All right, so based on this thesis number one shifts lower levels that is bearish thesis number two Put vanna rally price starts to increase some of the Put delta Has expired from last week put gamma put delta expired from last week Market is starting to rally and now market makers can buy back short futures All right, so it looks like initially thesis number one was in play and now The main thesis Number two put vanna rally Note the vix Started to shift sharply lower right around 1115. That's when this rally began All right, let's take a look at that some setups now Oh first of all, I want to talk about the dispersion trade This was going on last week Not really in play for today the bearish dispersion trade that I want to talk about this for those for you Spot gamma subscribers spot gamma did cover this in detail in the PM founders note last friday and the reason I'm bringing this up I don't know if anirag is here. He brought this question up yesterday and let's take a look at Go to hero So last week What was happening? Let's take a look at this mag seven signal Both puts and calls were falling What this is indicating is that Large traders with enough money to move the market were buying risk reversals.  They were buying long index calls So anirag had asked about the the start difference in the hero signals between mag seven Which were both moving down the put and call line And the in nasdaq signal moving higher traders are buying index calls in the example that Spot gamma provided they were showing that traders were buying spx calls while they were Buying that risk reversal in mag seven stocks All right, so that's the dispersion trade Anirag, I hope you're here and I hope you I assume you're a spot gamma subscriber Hope you saw that More detailed explanation In the PM founders note. So that was going on last week All right, let's take a look at today. So let's move on from positional analysis now to some setups I'm going to start with the sp500. I want to take a look and see what What options traders Have been doing today So this is the everything that we've looked at so far other than the book map is based on static data it's Spot gamma takes open interest data that's updated once a day sometime overnight They apply their proprietary algorithms to come up the levels The put wall call wall absolute gamma strike volatility trader And those levels do change every day As I have shown All right now, let's move on to execution real-time data now I'm going to start with again looking at what options traders are doing And this is the hero signal hedging impact real-time options Hiro, this is available to spot gamma subscribers Again starting with the sp500 what this chart is showing is options trades and market maker hedging activity For a combined signal of spx by xsp and es futures all into one combined signal So if you trade any form of the sp500, this is the signal that you want to take a look at a The lines on this chart the white line is priced for spx The purple line is the hero signal And a falling hero signal Indicates traders are taking negative delta positions That means they're buying puts and or selling calls A rising hero signal means they're taking positive delta options positions They're buying calls and or selling puts All right, let's zoom in on this chart I'm going to zoom in So let's take a look at a couple setups. So first of all this move higher First 20 minutes Was really a head fake Right around 950 options traders started taking negative delta positions And the sp500 chopped around And started to move lower about 20 25 minutes later setting up a great divergent short this morning All right, so let's go take a look at that in book map And then we'll take a look at this reversal higher in just a minute. Yes All right, so you know looking here in hindsight This move lower is it's fairly small Compared to the move higher Later on today. Let's take a look at this. It was a nice Divergent setup In the morning All right, so remember right around 950 options traders started taking negative delta positions And price chopped around the 498 level Started to make lower highs As the hero signal reversed lower And then price broke below vwap Shown by the slight blue line Then we vwap became resistance The volume dots in book map are showing market buy minus sell Green volume dots indicate there are more buyers than sellers Magenta dots indicate more sellers than buyers So as price Traders were taking negative delta positions price broke below vwap aggressive sellers came in Note the falling cumulative volume delta All right, that is the setup The short setup earlier this morning Again pretty small in comparison Compared to the move higher So let's take a look at that So note this high liquidity at 5,005 rejecting price Acting as support aggressive sellers on the way down magenta volume dots Aggressive buyers start to come in note the rising light blue line that's showing Large traders buying that move down with iceberg orders. They use iceberg orders to hide their size Here this is shown iceberg orders shown by the on-chart indicator Not sure why the iceberg orders There are not shown on the on-chart indicator for this this portion of the Subchart indicator moving higher And let's go back and take a look at hero again see what options traders were doing So we know vix started to reverse higher right around 1115 And the hero signal Makes an equal low and then starts to move higher as start traders started taking positive delta positions And that really continues and again S&P 500 has recovered the spx 5000 level as well as the spy 500 level and continues to move higher All right. That's the sp 500. Let's take a look at nasdaq similar pattern Just reading order flow here Here's the cash open 930 quick move higher aggressive buyers And that reverses lower aggressive sellers start to come in shown by the magenta volume dots cumulative volume delta shifts lower sell stop orders shown by the Falling yellow line also fueling the move lower down to this cluster of levels again the qqq 414 level Notice prices moving down large traders are buying this buying the move down fading that move With iceberg orders again, they used to hide their size. Those are by iceberg orders Sellers are exhausted aggressive buyers starting to come in large traders continue to buy with iceberg orders and nasdaq now up to the ndx 250 absolute gamut strike call wall All right, let's go take a look at hero see what options traders are doing All right, so for nasdaq I like to take a look at the mag 7 signal All right, so this has been bullish all day. Let me show you what this is This is a combined signal For the stocks known as the magnificent 7 options trades market maker hedging activity for apple amazon google meta microsoft nvidia tesla All into one combined signal these stocks make up a very large component of the nasdaq 100 And this is what I use when i'm trading the the nasdaq All right, i'm going to zoom in on the morning all right, so here's the Just like the sb 100 quick move up about 20 minutes Hero signal reverses lower Traders start taking negative delta positions nasdaq moves lower All right, i've already talked about the move lower in In book map here the clear signs volume dots Stop orders Nasdaq find support Right around 1115 that cluster of levels let's go back to Back to hero now Zoom back out so nice divergence set up Mag 7 hero signal starts to move lower right around 1025 Setting up this divergence long As the nasdaq move down to that cluster of levels again So dip buyers definitely in here in the mag 7 stocks Let's see what they're doing So they're selling puts and buying calls. I'm going to have to jump jump back All right, so this is This is the smb 500. This is what the uh the smb 500 portion of the dispersion trade looks like buying index calls Put signal fairly flat All right, let's go back to mag 7 So in the mag 7 in this case They're also taking bullish positions Rising blue line indicates traders are selling puts to get advantage of higher implied volatility And they're also buying calls So this is the opposite of that bearish risk reversal in this case. They are selling calls Selling puts and buying calls. So taking that other The the flip side of that risk reversal And this is definitely driving nasdaq higher All right, let's take a look at some stocks There were some uh Good setups this morning First one I want to take a look at is amd I'm going to shift back to the total signal here. Just make this a little bit easier to look at I'm going to have to jump Back Focusing on the morning. This is what I do most of my trading So here in amd We see that 150 is the key gamma strike That did act as resistance Initially the hero signal was pretty flat Then starts to move lower Right around 945 And it Took about 10 minutes for amd to reverse lower at the 150 key gamma strike setting of a very nice divergent short and amd In the morning session. So let's go take a look at book map Let's go to amd Sorry having a little bit of difficulty with my pen tool Let's go to amd All right, here's the reversal at the 150 key gamma strike Let's zoom in on that Now it looks like amd is recovered Trying to make it back up to that 150 level. All right, so when I zoom in you can see that There was some time to set up the short So traders started taking negative delta positions about 10 minutes later amd reverses lower at the Just below the 150 key gamma strike classic absorption there at that level This is the heat map and book map showing a history of the limit orders in the order book And that liquidity typically comes in at the cash open and remains there until Those are in this case limit sold orders They'll remain typically remain in the order book until they're filled And there was absorption just below that level amd reverse lower as traders were taking negative delta positions Or let's move on Next is amazon Right another head fake move lower move higher In the more in the morning first 20 minutes 10 maybe 10 20 minutes aggressive buyers come in And then amazon reverses sharply lower Now trying to recover that 178 level again Let's see what options traders are doing. Let's go to amazon flow alert does come in And that might have been Might have been misleading but quickly the Hero signal levels off moves lower traders taking negative delta positions And price moves lower All right, let's take a look at meta now All right, I did I did post this setup in discord This is a very clear signal meta making a series of lower highs then reverses Right around vwap Just below this 490 level Let's see what options traders are doing Let's go to meta Let's zoom in on this So what i'm looking for a reversal in In hero i'm looking in Looking at or considering Two different circumstances So in this case Let's say case one Flow alert And then the hero signal this is indicating a shift from A significant shift from positive delta to negative delta Or vice versa. So that's what the Flow alert is showing So this comes in a little bit before the signal actually shifts lower So this is case one for a shift in hero flow alert And then the hero signal shifts lower Otherwise I would be looking for a lower high Lower highs lower lows Before Assuming that hero had shifted But in this case I see the Flow alert And then the sharp move lower Indicating traders We're now taking negative delta options positions And that happens Just before 950. Let's go back to book map And this is right at 950 Lower high reversal at vwap Meta moves Lower good for about a 15-point move lower And again, I thought this was pretty pretty clear. I did post it in In discord All right now meta trying to recover that 490 level Back above vwap Let's go take a look at hero zoom out A lot of aggressive buyers coming in Right around 1030 That moves back down So more clear signal Starting around 1120 traders taking positive delta positions Meta now recovering So I thought this move lower in In meta Really kind of led Led the market lower in these uh morning short setups All right next tesla Zoom in on this Very clear divergent short traders were taking Negative delta options positions from the open Initially traders are buying buying the dip in tesla and then that reverses lower Just before 10 a.m As the pressure from these options trades Helps to move tesla lower. Let's take a look at book map Go to tesla All right quick move higher in the morning aggressive buyers Then options traders Start to have more influence on price As they were taking negative delta positions and tesla reverses lower All right, so wrb there you go. There's tesla Let's go take a look and see what options traders are doing now All right, so they started taking positive delta positions Around 11 a.m And then price responded higher About 30 minutes later All right, let's take a look one last look at another stock. I want to take a look at coin All right, so the spot gamma levels have definitely been in play on coin recently Here's the 227 50 hedge wall Acting as resistance more or less Price did not quite make it up to that level So first of all in the morning there was a long Note the flow where it comes in Just a couple of minutes after the cash open traders taking positive delta positions And they take their foot off the gas As coin reaches that Up to that 227 50 hedge wall They start taking negative delta positions And coin moves lower. Let's go take a look at book map go to coin Let's zoom in on this Quick move higher pull back Right to point and control right as the right at the opening print point of control Price moves higher finding resistance Right at 227 just below the 227 50 hedge wall And that is options traders taking their foot off the gas They start to take negative delta positions Price moves lower All right. Note this magenta line. This is the correlation tracker showing the correlation of coin with the Bitcoin futures All right, let's zoom out All right, so at note around 11 11 30 Coinbase starts to respond as bitcoin futures start to move higher Let's see what options traders are doing All right, so the hero signal is pretty flat After that move lower Looks like coinbase may be responding to that Move higher in bitcoin futures All right, does anyone have any stocks they want me to take a look at? Please let me know and I'll be glad to do that note cvd cumulative volume delta moving higher That's shown by the all the green volume dots A lot of magenta volume dots on the move down CVD Initially moves up flattens out Now moving higher again And katinga. Hello. Welcome Um, and you're welcome All right, anyone have any stocks they want me to take a look at All right, let's take a look at Let's go back to the uh index First of all the sp 500 Continues to move higher Check nasdaq so nasdaq ndx 250 absolute gamma strike call wall recovered and the qqq call wall is uh quite a uh Much higher at 450 and the qqq 420 level is in this cluster right here Let's take a look at heroes see what options traders are doing in the mag 7 So they continue to take positive delta positions Again, that's been going on all day With the exception of this Little bit of consolidation here traders continue to take positive delta positions Let's zoom out see if there are any recent alerts most recent alerts spy Sb 500 futures es check meta flow alert coming in Assume in on this All right, so the hero signal was shifting down Now looks like it's shifting higher again All right, does anyone have any stocks they want me to take a look at? Let me scan some Charts here on another screen See if I see anything All right, so it looks like Tesla now it's making Making a lower high. Let's see what options traders are doing Hero signal leveling off Let's take a look at Tesla Just to know when I'm trading I'm looking at multiple screens in the same time. Of course, I can only present on one screen So I have to keep jumping back and forth between Between book map and hero when I'm trading I'm using three main screens I have hero on one screen Book map on my main screen in the middle And then my trading platform on the right So I'm looking at all screens at the same time Putting together a plan for how I want to trade something trade Trade a stock or index future All right, so let's go back and take a look at hero for tesla looks like The hero signal may be turning up. Yeah, it is separate outputs and calls So try traders are buying puts That shown by the negative notional value on the blue line here. Sorry about that I'm gonna have to jump jump back Tesla All right, so right now both the orange line and the blue line are pretty flat So it looks like most recently call buyers were driving price higher shown by the rising orange line Now they've taken the foot off the gas tesla moving lower. Let's go back to Maybe a potential short tesla has broken this This trend line. Maybe I'd want to see more confirmation with hero Let's go back to the total signal I'm gonna have to jump back to tesla zoom in on it a bit All right, so this hero signal is making lower highs All right, let me see if I see anything else All right, looks like coin may be breaking lower as well. Let's check that all right, so remember We saw this before the hero signal was flat options traders not driving price higher Let's go to coin First of all, let's take a look at bitcoin futures. All right bitcoin futures still making Higher highs may be turning lower. Let's take a look at coin I'm on this just a bit So this is showing a slight drop lower in bitcoin futures So it looks like coin made it Queen made it up to 226 That's where this large Large buy orders executed Before the reversal lower Let's go back to hero Now zooming in on this it looks like the hero signal Is starting to rise again All right, so I'd be looking for a reaction Up around this level again All right, everyone my time is up I want to thank you very much for watching Everyone have a great afternoon remember tomorrow PMI data two-year node auction tesla reports earnings then on wednesday durable goods five-year node auction And then we'll talk about that and then meta reports after the market closes on wednesday All right, everyone have a great afternoon. Thank you very much for watching And I will see you on wednesday. Thanks. Bye


from the Silicon Valley media office in Boston, Massachusetts. It's theCUBE. Now, here's your host, Dave Vellante. Hi everybody, welcome to this special presentation. This is CUBE Conversations, this is Dave Vellante. I'm here with Colin Mahoney, who's the Senior Vice President and General Manager of Big Data for Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Colin, great to see you again. Thanks for coming in. Great to see you too, yeah, thank you. It was a great meeting. So the Big Data Conference, BDC, what started as the Vertica user conference, we were there for the inaugural one three years ago. theCUBE is really excited to be back and you have been there since the beginning, you were part of the Vertica acquisition.  Yeah, it's amazing. It's hard to believe that this will be our fourth big data conference as you point out. And three years ago when we did this, we'd always heard from our customers that they want to learn from other customers. They'd always heard stories about each other. They knew there were use cases that they shared. They wanted to get together. And we set up a lot of these informal conversations between our customers, but we took a chance. Everybody told us actually we were crazy to do this type of thing. But we took a chance a couple years ago and we sold it out. You know, it was, we could have had twice as many people there. And it was so clear to us that the conversations that people were having, what they were learning about, really were impactful and important. And we've continued it. It's grown significantly every year. This will be the largest it's been, but we still keep it the right size. It's really focused on what we do and what our customers do. We do a lot of big data shows, as you know. And, you know, it's like, it reminded me of the early days of Hadoop World. It was a lot of practitioners and a lot of really substantive conversation. And now it's become a big marketing event. BDC isn't a marketing event and you've succeeded.  Talk about that. How have you succeeded in doing that? So we don't allow any marketing presentations whatsoever at the Big Data Conference. And I think that is the key. And that is what has made it so successful. We have our engineering team. We have our customers that are doing real things. Those are the folks presenting as well as, you know, some incredible keynotes that we always bring. But it's very real. And I actually think it reflects the Big Data Platform Organization that we have. We probably don't make nearly enough noise about what we do. We're not very showy. We're not very flashy. But we are the company that delivers and we empower some of the most significant analytic environments. And, you know, don't get me wrong. Our marketing team does a phenomenal job with this conference. But what they do is they set up the venue. They get everything lined up so that those conversations can happen. And we can talk about real technology, real business use cases and real issues. Let's talk about the marketplace a little bit. So when Stormbreaker came up, sort of the idea for this, you know, columnar database, if not the first, one of the first, solving the problems of relational database management systems and performance specifically. And then the market took off. Vertical was part of that tailwind. And then this whole Hadoop thing came in. So take us back a little bit to the progression of Vertica and then, you know, where you became HP and what's happened in the market since then for the last, you know, five, seven years. Yeah, I think so it has been an incredible renaissance of just all different types of innovation and technologies and Hadoop being a huge part of that, obviously. I would say what we did was we always focused on what we were really good at. We knew our strength was on the optimizer, the execution engine, running the best analytic database engine we could for Vertica in this market. And there were a lot of tendencies and pressures for us to branch out and try to become a massive Hadoop platform and a database engine and all these things. And instead we said, we know what we're good at. Let's focus on what we're good at, but let's integrate with this open ecosystem of lots of open source vendors, whether it's Hadoop, whether it's Kafka, Spark, you name it, but let's stick to what we do well. And what's really funny now is what we see in the market is that each of these technologies has sort of found their place. I think people know that Hadoop is not a panacea for everything, but it's very good at some things. And we have now extended our platform to be able to run seamlessly on Hadoop or to be able to run seamlessly in the cloud. And that focus, I think, is what has really helped us be successful because we know what we're good at and we know more importantly what we're not necessarily good at. So we try to make that ecosystem work a lot better, but it is amazing watching sort of the ups and downs of some of the hype cycles of things like Hadoop and lots of other technologies that are out there. Let's talk about what some of the customers are doing. So over the past several years, we've had some great customer stories on theCUBE and you've presented at the conference. I mean, guys like Etsy, Wayfair, and the early days Zynga was kind of a showcase. Customer NASCAR has been on. What are customers doing? Maybe even add a couple of other examples. Yeah, so some of those customers are going to be here. I mean, we're going to have customers like Laxosmith Client. We're going to have customers like Saber. We're going to have AmeriPrize, Nimble Storage, DreamWorks Animation. So many incredible customers that are just changing the game when it comes to data and analytics. One company too that we're sort of incredibly proud of as a customer and I think the whole world has seen how they've just created an entire industry as Uber and we've got Corey Kendrick coming from Uber who's going to talk about a lot of the data science work that they do, a lot of the policy things that happen and just implications and the power of what you can do with information. We have the Spanish Ministry of Defense coming to talk about how they counter terrorism using these types of technologies. We've got the New York Genome Institute talking about how they fight cancer through big data and analytics. So the use cases, whether it's private sector, public sector, whether it's healthcare, whether it's telco, everybody is taking information and leveraging it in a way that they can help their organization or help an individual do something better, faster. And with regards to people, I think that's one of the most exciting things too. One of the key themes this year is the power of people because one of the things that we learn, as much as we love the technology, it comes down to the people. And so we've got two phenomenal speakers. We've got Phil Black, a former Navy SEAL, Navy SEAL instructor, entrepreneur, he was on Shark Tank. When you talk about somebody that has been able to reinvent themselves physically and mentally, sort of hacking themselves, there's no one better than Phil. And then from an organizational perspective, we have the author of that High Velocity Edge, Steve Spear coming, talking about how organizations have to constantly take that feedback, close the loop, using data, using a whole bunch of other things and people to enhance what they do as a company. And I think whether it's the customers that are coming that some of whom I've talked about, you're gonna see in their presentations, not just presentations about technology and cool things that they do with it, but really about what do they do with that technology in combination with people, which really gets at the heart of culture and how do they change the world? And we've got some incredible examples. Corey will talk a lot about the Uber example, but incredible examples of companies and people that are just changing the world every day. They always have some fun outside speakers. I remember Billy Bean came. Yeah, yeah. And he was obviously the poster child for data in sports, and you're right, it's not just about the tech. In fact, most of the conversations we've had with the customers, I would say, let me take a stab at it and you can add some color. It's groups of people that were sort of in between the business and the technical world that were frustrated with data warehouse. They would describe it as a snake swallowing a basketball and just struggling to keep this aging infrastructure going. And then all of a sudden this new technology opened up a whole new world of possibilities and they got excited about the business impact of what they could do. And there's so many examples, all the companies that you mentioned and that we've talked to in theCUBE, how they've transformed their business and now are driving either new revenue opportunities, trying to solve the cancer problems, nature's, you know, nature, conservancy issues, things of that nature, which are just really exciting for people to watch, not just ad tech, you know, but really branching out into society. What's your take on that? Yeah, well, and it's funny that you bring up ad tech because I think that as annoying as some of the personalization ad targets are that we see, the reality is that industry has innovated so many different things that have now permeated into other industries. So the personalization of healthcare, for instance, a lot of what they've learned in terms of the algorithms, much of that has come out of the advertising space. So I think every industry, and to your point about these folks in these organizations who think different, you know, these people who are frustrated with the status quo, who understand that there is a lot of information out there that should be at their fingertips to help them make decisions and make those decisions with as much data as they can. And if they make the wrong decision or something changes, it's the ability to change as an organization and changes a person. And I think what you find with almost every single one of our customers is they have that trait.  You know, we basically asked our customers to come on a ride with us that we were starting from scratch and building this thing. And whether it's Vertica or it's Idle, you know, from on the unstructured side, which is our other engine on the Big Data platform for unstructured information, both of these have roots in academic institutions and then we commercialized them and we went and we partnered with customers who took a bet on us and now they're doing some incredible things. And what we're trying to do is stay focused, deliver and keep delivering the value. And we've, you know, we've got some great announcements coming on that front as well from the innovation side and help them as they work through the challenges and the opportunities, frankly, that are coming down the pike. I think every business, every organization is in the data business. I don't think there's any way anybody can avoid that anymore. And as stewards of that, as folks that are in the mix to power and help them through it, that's what they're, we're really there to do. And that's what the Big Data Conference is about. And of course we're going to be interviewing you next week at BDC. So I don't want to go too much into the topics that we're going to cover there, but one of the challenges that people talk about all the time is the complexity. And you certainly saw that with Hadoop and just the number of open source projects and people struggle with that. Are you seeing progress being made there? Is HPE, what are you guys doing to help solve that complexity problem? You guys are more of a solution anyway to begin with, but are you seeing that problem and is the industry addressing it? Yeah, I think, I do think it is a huge challenge for the industry. Part of that renaissance of innovation is that you have so many disparate technologies that are popping up. And a lot of them are rough around the edges. You've got to be a developer or a programmer to really get them up and running. This is coming at a time where the business users just want answers. They want to have conversations with their data and they want to move the business forward. So it's creating a conundrum where you have a whole bunch of technologies, not a lot of solutions. And so part of what we've tried to focus on with our platform, and I won't say we're perfect by any means, but I think we constantly strive to make it better, is we're trying to wrap more around some of those technologies to deliver them as part of the solution. So I mentioned Kafka, integrating Kafka natively with Vertica helps you bring data right in or right out of Vertica seamlessly into that ecosystem. And the good news about the ecosystem often around many of these technologies is that the openness is allowing a lot of people to develop on top of it, to package around it. So I do think it's getting better, but I think that there are so many different projects out there, so many different technologies that it's a constant battle to stay ahead of that. And frankly, as much as enterprises love open source and the notion that you don't get locked in, I think the reality is you are locked in. Whether it's open source or not, you're gonna develop on something and just by making that decision, you're locked in. And so they need to understand that there is a parent parental guidance behind these organizations and that's able to stand up and support them in what they're doing. And I think that's the role that Hewlett Packard Enterprise plays in so many different scenarios. It was a really important point because the euphoria around big data led everybody to sort of hop on the bandwagon. A lot of customers went into that sort of blindfolded to the open source world. And what's happening is you're starting to see consolidation. Some companies aren't going to make it and you could be stuck with this open source mess that you have to deal with. So you're saying, okay, we bring adult supervision, but you guys are also participants in that open source world. It's not like you don't embrace that. So it's a nice balance and it's a good hybrid. It is a balance. And I think the hybrid approach is important. I think what every company has to deal with is we are in the business of delivering revenues and profits and those sorts of things. And sometimes the open source models that you see out there don't easily do that. And so there's a timeless model over the last decades that you can see in any type of company. And if we can't achieve that, if an open source company comes out and it's just bleeding cash, that gives a lot of companies concern. Do I want to bet on this technology? So I think that's something that Hewlett Packard Enterprise brings that's really important. Well, we get excited about the new technologies because, oh wow, we can store all this data now for way less. And then it becomes a business problem. Okay, what do we do with it? You know, who's got the data architecture? What's the governance approach? And what's the business model? And what does this mean for new opportunities for us? And those are the really hard problems that people are trying to solve, isn't it? Those are the hard problems. And I think the good news, what we refer to as Hadooponomics is exactly what you said. All the data gets stored now, which is great because in the past, so much data was thrown away. And once it's gone, it's gone. So at least now you have the data, but your point is right on, which is, okay, so now what? Just storing the data? There's no value in just storing the data. We need to get at the gold. And how do we get at the gold? Well, it turns out, having an analytic engine to get at the gold or having a great search engine to get at the gold, those are really important. And I think from an economic standpoint, what we're seeing is the industry is really starting to value those again. Whereas everybody was sort of being commoditized and talking about the lowest price per terabyte. Now the industry is realizing, okay, I know this is good for that, but it's not gonna deliver this type of value. And so the market is starting to sort itself out, which is a great time for us. And at the same time, a lot of our competitors are long gone. Well, and everybody talks about the digital transformation, HPE at its conferences talks about that, Meg was big on that whole theme. Everybody is. And the exciting part is digital is data. And data can be used in a lot of different ways. It doesn't have high asset specificity. It can be fungible. It can be used in a lot of different use cases. And it's trying to figure those out, trying to optimize those, understand the value of the data that organizations are now trying to grok. And they haven't figured it out yet, for the most part. And, but the opportunities are amazing. Well, and I think those opportunities we refer to a lot as the idea economy. And, you know, I think Uber is a great example. There's so many great examples. And what I love to think about is, you know, somewhere there is a young girl who's probably in high school, if that, and she is programming right now. Somehow somewhere in the United States.  And I think that disruption of the idea of economy, that somebody, an individual contributor who's not necessarily in the largest corporation can come in and create some innovation that could be so profound and do it for a fraction of what it used to cost. I think that inherently is what is behind the big data movement. It's not just about data. It's really about the programming and the empowerment and all the things that happen. And it's exciting. And there's so many examples that we've had, whether it was Zynga, you know, Uber, Twitter, just customers that are doing these amazing things. You know, data is a huge part of it, but data is only part of it. And it really gets to the culture and the people. Well, that's a great point. We're reshaping the innovation curve in this industry. It used to be, we'd mark it as the cadence of Moore's law. And now it's like, okay, here's some cheap compute and cheap storage. What can you do with it? And that's where innovation lies. Yep. Yeah, once you give people the resources, once you remove the barrier, and somebody can just start creating something for the right price, which has never been cheaper and never been easier for somebody to do, they just start going at it. And that's just so exciting to see. But one thing we do watch, too, is that where Vertica started was getting away from proprietary enterprise data warehouse appliances. And one thing that I find really interesting now, we're gonna talk about this at the conferences, as the world shifts to cloud, all of a sudden it looks like the world is moving towards another proprietary dinosaur. You know, getting locked into a single stack. And so something that is very unique to us in this space is that we offer an engine with a lot of choices. You can run it wherever you want. We have great hardware to run it on. We, you can run it on the cloud, many clouds. You can run it on Hadoop distributions. And I think that choice in the data democratization is going to become more and more important for enterprises, to be able to choose the right software but leverage all the innovations that are happening in the ecosystem. And we're going to talk about this stuff at the Big Data Conference. Take us through the week. So people are going to be getting there, arriving on Monday. Arriving Monday, it kicks off, really.  And it will run through midday on Thursday. So we pack a lot into a couple of days. We do leave a lot of time for mingling and people to do the networking. But as I said, we've got some great keynote speakers. We've got amazing customers. We've got a lot of our partners coming in as well. And I promise you won't get any marketing BS. It's at the seaport in Boston. Get some chowda. Yeah, come see us. Go across some legal seafood. Yeah, yeah, come see us. Great spot on the water. And if the weather is like it is today, it should be beautiful. This is the best time of the year. We are doing it a little bit later this year in August. And the reason is we want our colleagues and friends from Europe to really be able to attend. Last year, when it was the beginning of August, actually, and every year we've done at the beginning of August, it's in the middle of a busy holiday time in Europe. So we're doing it a little bit later, but the weather looks to be even better. And come see us in Boston. All right, Con, well, thanks for coming out to the SiliconANGLE Media Studios here on the East Coast. And really great to see you. We'll see you next week. You too. Awesome. Thanks, Dave. All right, thanks for watching, everybody. This is Cube Conversations. This is Dave Vellante. We'll see you next time.


Mary Tyler Moore was an iconic actress born in Brooklyn, New York in 1936. Her family moved to Los Angeles after World War II, where she began acting in commercials while in high school. Moore started out as a chorus girl on TV variety shows before landing her breakout role as Laura Petrie on the Dick Van Dyke show in the early 1960s, where she won two Emmys for her portrayal of the intelligent and funny housewife on the classic sitcom. Moore also found success in films, theater and TV movies, winning an Oscar nomination and a Tony Award. While she passed away in 2017, we can still get a glimpse into her glamorous lifestyle through her former home in Greenwich, Connecticut. Moore's husband, Dr. Robert Levine, said it's a house that Mary and I designed with specific intention to make it welcoming, filled with natural lights, open to the outside. Now, when Levine and Moore purchased the Greenwich home, they were looking to simplify after maintaining multiple residences, including a Fifth Avenue apartment in Manhattan and a 150-acre horse farm in Millbrook, New York, Greenwich. This place provided the best of both worlds, privacy and proximity to the amenities of Greenwich Avenue that Moore enjoyed. The couple then embarked on an extensive three-year renovation with architect Stephen Wang of the century-old Fieldstone House, tearing down most of it, but preserving the original facade. Levine described it as looking like a movie set. They reused much of the stone and added matching Fieldstone to expand the home from 7,500 to 14,000 square feet. The Georgian-style house, which is thought to have been built in the late 1800s, has a spa, a double-height solarium and a billiards room. According to Levine, the house was designed to display Moore's collections of antiques, folk art and Americana. This was a place to live but also a place to display all of her beautiful things so that she could be surrounded by all the things she loved, he said. So the house boasts five bedrooms and nine baths, a nearly 14,000 square feet of living space. Accented throw with molding, bay windows, Venetian plaster walls, wood beam ceilings and numerous fireplaces. Inspired by Monticello, they added architectural details such as rounded windows. Stepping inside the grand foyer, the harlequin-patterned floors and curving staircase immediately catch the eye. A friend of theirs said Mary wanted a home filled with intimate, purposeful spaces that offer comfort and a platform for her favorite things. The main highlight is certainly the light-filled living room with its 20-foot ceilings and enormous stone fireplace and wall-to-wall front doors that open to the backyard. More often hosted celebrity gatherings and fun raisers in this luxurious yet cozy space. They also added special touches like the solarium that served as Mary's serenity room where she spent a good part of her life when she was no longer able to get around so easily on her own. Its windows are stained glass art pieces that have been retrieved from old churches and synagogues. The billiards room was inspired by one that Moore's grandfather had in his home in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley when she was growing up. Attached to the billiard room is the library and the shelves are some of the books that Mary's father read to her as a child. Then beyond the living room, the home contains many other lavish details like the massive gourmet kitchen, a cook's paradise with top-notch appliances, marble counters and a butler's pantry. On the second floor, the primary suite maintained the lower-level design elements with a tray ceiling and a marble fireplace. It also includes a two-sided fireplace, dual-walking closets and private terrace. It was built for Mary to match her image of the perfect place. The property also has seven meticulously landscaped acres with gardens, patios and a pool. Perfect for relaxing in the sun. Also nestled within the confines of Mary Tyler Moore's remarkable residence is the gym designed for her dance background, complete with a ballet bar and full-length mirrors. There's even a spa with massage room, jacuzzi and sauna. On the first floor, a convenient laundry room includes a dog shower and grooming station and a separate one-bedroom apartment above a spacious three-bed garage, complete with its own kitchen and bathroom. All of this enhances the property's versatility and functionality. After Moore's passing in 2017, her husband made the difficult decision to sell the home and move on. Levine said the decision to sell was massively difficult but necessary for him to move on after his wife's death. It's Mary's house, said Levine. If I'm going to step into my what next, I decided I have to step away from the house. The long-time Connecticut estate is now up for sale priced at $21.9 million and part of the proceeds will support her memorial charity, the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative, a foundation that works to restore vision in people with diabetes. After touring Mary Tyler Moore's magnificent Connecticut estate, it's very easy to see how the space perfectly reflected her impeccable taste and glamorous lifestyle. For any fan of Moore walking through her home offers a special glimpse into the charming sophisticated world she inhabited at the height of her fame. While it's time to wrap up this house tour before we go, answer this question for me. If you could visit the home of any legendary TV personality living or dead, who's would it be? Go back and think of any of your favorites. Like maybe I would pick Mr. Rogers, but let me know in the comments below. Don't forget to like, subscribe and turn on your notifications. My name is Kara The Vampire Slayer, follow me on Instagram to chat further. And if you'd like to stay tuned for another tour next, we're going to check out the homes of the late Leslie Jordan. Bye. Karen, this may come as a great shock to you but I'm a homosexual. An actor Leslie Jordan passed away shockingly at the age of 67 after medical emergency that led to a fatal car crash in October of 2022. The beloved funny man Emmy award-winning actor, writer and singer left his fans, friends and family full of grief. Also, Michael and I have dropped our own house tour of our new home that we moved into this year so go ahead and subscribe to our personal channel if you want to see where we're living and more of what we're up to. In these videos we don't reveal any addresses even though I've done a house tour of my own place. Please do not show up at any private residences because it's not safe for anyone. Jordan first arrived in LA back in 1982 with $1,500 sewn into his clothing by his loving mom. After a brief career as a horse jockey, Leslie began his long foray into the entertainment industry. One that would take him decades to finally land on his feet by winning an Emmy in 2006 for his role as Beverly Leslie in TV's Will and Grace. Since then, Leslie would go on to receive rave reviews for his original stage plays like Stories I Can't Tell Mama and Fruit Fly, while also being praised for his off-Broadway musical theater debut in 2011 and his HBO special Pink Carpet. Over more recent months, however, Leslie would become heralded for his cheerful Instagram posts that sooth the spirits of millions during the pandemic. Don't worry, we'll take further into that later in this very episode but one of the more heartbreaking twists in Leslie's story is that only 12 weeks before dying unexpectedly, he had shelled out $1.75 million for luxurious West Hollywood condo. To make matters even more tragic, this was apparently the Tennessee native's first ever home purchase in his nearly seven decades of life, a fact that he hinted at while singing Move-In on Up from the Jeffersons in his trademark Southern drawl on Instagram. According to reports, the condo was purchased from the estate of the late Ivan Reitman, a Canadian film director and producer behind iconic films like National Lampoon's Animal House, Stripes and Ghostbusters. Ivan himself had paid nearly $1.2 million for the posh apartment back in the spring of 2008. After his passing in early 2022, his family would put his former home in the market for $1.8 million. A few months later, the price was reduced by about $100K and Leslie swept in to become its proud new owner. Originally built in the early 60s, the exclusive Empire West residential tower has hosted a number of notable celebrities over the years, including the likes of Nancy Sinatra, Sarah Silverman, Kerry Washington, Lindsey Lohan, Kelly Osborne and Corrigi, just to name a few. As for Leslie's short-lived unit, it's tucked away on the 11th floor of the tower, boasting two bedrooms and a matching number of baths in what's said to be a little more than 1,600 square feet of space. The condo includes a mix of hardwood and carpeted floors, high ceilings, modern finishes, as well as sliding glass doors that provide plenty of natural light. Glass also opens up to a series of north-facing balconies that offer some picturesque views on Sunset Plaza and the nearby Hollywood Hills. Other highlights in the unit include an entry hallway that flows into an open concept interior, bought lighted by a dining area, a spacious living room and a sleek all-white kitchen that's been outfitted with some major high-end appliances. Then there's the master suite that sports a private balcony of its own, a walking closet and an en suite with dual vanities, a soaking tub, as well as a glass and closed shower. A couple steps from there is the secondary suite that Leslie likely utilized as his home office during his very short amount of time there. Of course, the star's new home also would come with plenty of amenities, including a 24-7 doorman, a concierge, two subterranean parking spots, an outdoor tennis court, a fully stocked fitness center and a rooftop pool for entertainment purposes, all for around an extra $1,600 a month. Now that he's no longer with us, Leslie's condo will likely end up back on the market once again. So if you'd like nothing more than to live in the former home of a legendary entertainer, then keep your eyes peeled for its availability. For now, however, let's take a look at other ways in which Leslie Jordan brought joy to people in the comfort of their own homes. And we're going to start with how he once paid for the renovations of someone else's house only months before his death. Two individuals who were thunderstruck when the news broke about Leslie's passing were Jonathan and Drew Scott, aka the property brothers. Prior to his death in October, these two had shot footage alongside Leslie for their HGTV series titled Celebrity IOU, in which Hollywood stars express thanks to the people who have helped them out in their career by surprising them with home renovations. For his episode of IOU, Leslie worked with Jonathan and Drew on renovating the ranch-style home of his close longtime friends, Newell and Rosemary Alexander. These two were the first people to ever welcome Leslie when he arrived in LA from Tennessee back in the 80s, and they wound up jump-starting his career. At point forward, the couple would continue to serve as a support system and became like family to Leslie over four decades of friendship. Jonathan would explain just how special this relationship was to the Hollywood star when he told Axis Hollywood. I think that's why we wanted to showcase this episode as a tribute to Leslie because he said that it was so important that he do this for Rosemary and Newell. Unfortunately, while still in the process of filming this special episode, the news would break that Leslie had been involved in a fatal accident, shutting down production and sending everyone involved into shock and disbelief. Drew would share his feelings over what happened, telling Axis, I think he learned by people giving to him and he's become that person to give to others. He was just such a sweet human being. He's really, really going to be missed. One of the other ways in which Leslie learned to give back took place during the most trying time in recent human history. And before we seek a bite of Leslie once and for all, I'd like to take a look at how he shared parts of his childhood hometown, while also keeping so many of us wildly entertained over the course of the pandemic. A few years ago, something that almost none of us would have expected was that Leslie Jordan would become America's biggest Instagram celebrity. And yet when the quarantine came down and stay at home orders were put into effect, that's almost exactly what happened. Despite having spent so much of his adult life in Hollywood, Leslie's ties to his hometown of Chattanooga, Tennessee were incredibly strong. So when the world went down, he traveled back to the comforts of home to isolate himself at an Airbnb and to be closer to his 84-year-old mother as well as his sisters. For the next few months, he would charm his social media audiences with stories of his past, while discussing some of his favorite parts of his home city, including the many beautiful bridges that go across the Tennessee River, like the Old Market Street Bridge and the Walnut Street Bridge. He'd reminisce about walking along North Chattanooga while stopping in at the many wonderful boutiques and eating seafood on the river at an establishment known as the Boathouse. All the while, Leslie's distinctive sassy southern accent and signature phrases would become a staple of many people's daily quarantine entertainment. It's kind of amazing when you think about it. What a man well into his 60s would become so well-versed with TikTok, long before the app truly exploded in popularity. In fact, at the time of his death, Leslie had an incredible presence on social media, consisting of 2.3 million followers on TikTok and 5.8 on Instagram. Something that's only all the more impressive when you take into consideration the fact that pre-pandemic his following was hover around 80,000 on the gram alone. But social media and these quarantine posts in particular would serve as something of a renaissance for Leslie's career. Afterwards, he'd released Companies Come in a Star-studded gospel album that boasted assists from Dolly Parton and Eddie Vedder, in which Leslie narrates scripture and reflects on personal stories, all while singing his heart out. In that sense, although he was already well into his 60s, it kind of felt Leslie Jordan was finally hitting his stride. Think about it, worldwide recognition, a new TV series in Call Me Cats and a brand new condo were all important aspects of the last few months of his life. And then sadly came the car accident. At least in a sense, the man got to go out while he was on top of the world and quite literally living on top of LA. That's more than almost any of us could really ask for. A sentiment I'm pretty sure he'd agree with himself. Alright, that's gonna bring this special memorial episode of Leslie Jordan's House Tour to a close. Before you all head out, however, answer me this one question. Have you made it all the way to your 60s without ever buying a home? Would you bite the bullet and finally do so? Or just continue to live life as a renter? Let me know your reasons why in the comments down below. Also, go ahead and like, subscribe and turn on those notifications. My name is Kara, follow me on Instagram to chat further and I'll see you all in another one. Bye.


Hello and welcome to another problem-solving session on factorization of polynomials right the question is Find the remainder when py is equal to y cube minus 6 y square plus 2 y minus 4 is Divided by Q y that is 3 y minus 1 so you can see we have a polynomial p y It is polynomial in variable y okay, so it can be variable any variable polynomial So here the variable is why it could be x z d s whatever right so this is a given polynomial and my divider Right divisor is 3 y Minus 1 right so by remainder theorem By remainder theorem What did we learn in the previous sessions By remainder theorem if FX is Divided by AX plus BA linear divisor Right, please understand. This is a only for is only for linear divisor Okay linear means the power on X must be only one or the variable must be one remainder is equal to F minus B by A Correct the remainder is F of minus B by a what is B and a we can find out So clearly in this case a is 3 because our divisor was what was the divisor? divisor is 3 y minus 1 Variable is why so a is 3 B is minus 1 so minus B by a is equal to minus of minus 1 by 3 that is 1 by 3 Correct so 1 by 3 so hence we have to simply now find out F of that is minus B by a and in this case F is capital P. So P of 1 by 3 right P of 1 by 3 will be the remainder Right, I hope this is understood remainder is nothing but F of F of our value of the polynomial at X equals to minus B by a in this case variable is why so y is equal to minus B by a minus B by a is 1 by 3 Right, so P of 1 by 3 if we calculate we get the remainder Okay, so what is P of 1 by 3? Let's evaluate so 1 by 3 whole cube So this is the you know, so you have to just deploy 1 by 3 in place of y minus 6 1 by 3 whole squared plus 2 times 1 by 3 minus 4 This is a calculation. That's it. This is the remainder also, right? So this is 1 upon 27 minus 6 upon 9 right minus minus 2 by 3 minus 4 Right, so what is the common denominator? 27 LCM is 27. So here it is 1 minus you can This is nothing but 9 into 3 6 18 minus 18 again isn't it minus 4 into 20 7 will be 108 Okay, I hope this is correct calculation. So 1 Just a minute minus this is plus sorry, this is plus Right, so 1 by 27 minus 6 by 9 plus 2 by 3 minus 4. Yes, so this minus 18 plus 18 goes This is nothing but minus 1 not 7 upon 27 Okay, so if you divide Divide the Px. So if you divide Px By this 3x minus 1 you will get a quotient. Let's say Gx Or this is why sorry, this is why so P of y is 3 y minus 1 into some g y minus 107 by 27 Right, so this is the remainder Okay, P y was my dividend 3 y minus 1 was divisor This one is quotient What is that quotient? We don't know but we are not interested either and this one is remainder isn't it this is the Reminder so we caught we could find out the remainder without actual long division method This is the application of remainder theorem


clarification for those that we haven't spoken before. I am an archaeologist but I also teach back home history of religions and comparative religions and of course classical and ancient civilizations. So I thought it might be a new perspective to this whole context if I take aside for a moment the archaeological record and speak of a long-dure representation of the identities of the region. For the aims of this presentation I will look at Cilicia in the wider region or expanded region of Southeast Anatolia which would include the developments of of Cappadocia and the neighboring area that we used to call Comagenna. What is of a great interest for me from the aspect of development of identities and development of or transformations in religions is the tiny kingdoms that had very very fragile structure but also led to creation of great ideas that would have implications out of their very fragile and small structures. In this context eastern and southeastern Anatolia for me is a very interesting case study where we can actually analyze the importance of identities and perceptions in the study of the classical past and the importance of identities and perception in the classical past as well. What is very important and what we can see from eastern Anatolia is the reassembling in our minds of the peculiar phenomena that we have everyday contrast which is the classicism, the canonization, the romanization, orientalism, Persianism or orientalization as archaeologists as historians we frequently use the terms and most of the cases it is very complex to give a right definition and this case study might be an interesting point to redefine or to retain the whole context and this is Southeast and East Asia is very important out of two important reasons. One of that is being the original topos or related to the original topos in the roman context of being oriental and being orientalism as a concept. Why was that important? Out of two reasons number one Rome approached Silesia or approach Southeast or East Anatolia in a period when Rome was already dominant in the central or the core part of the colonistic world. In the previous centuries the relation to the east of the early Roman elites was a relation of admiration to the east, admiration of the great monarchs but later on in the first century when they approached eastern Asia it was a situation when they had already conquered the big powers of the colonistic world so the very semantics of the world orient and oriental changed and the position when they came into the eastern and southeastern Anatolia. More importantly, Romans or Roman war legions came to southeastern Anatolia in what we call usually post-Semitic period and this is important because already in the Mitridatic and Tigran is the great period what happened in Rome was a confrontation which was more than a war but what we like to call in a contemporary context a war of hearts and minds of the Mediterranean. Why? Because these new guys, newcomers like Mitridates or Tigranes they came with some new resources in the global competition but their their premises, their ideology was truly Hellenistic. So in their context, in Roman context what Rome was very much afraid of was the concept of coming of Mitridates or common leaders as new Alexander, as new Antiochus or new Selaucus Nicator that actually had a great appeal not just for the elites in the East but also among the Mitridates in the Mediterranean which were already part of the Roman Empire and some of them already growing inflation. So what Romans had to do in their war in Societal propaganda they had to change these leaders in their perspective coming from eastern and southeastern Anatolia from new Alexander's new global rulers to something else which was actually an ultimate Oriental, a Persian, a different person or the other which spoke more of the Roman identity than about southeastern identity. What is very important for us to know and we usually underestimate is that while the Romans in the post-Mitridates period approaching southeastern Anatolia perceived many of its local elites like the remnants of the defeated Orientalism or the otherness that we now own actually this region had a pre-Roman identity that would endure during the Roman times and this is an aspect that we should remember analyzing this region and what was this pre-Roman context. We have to remember that while in the early Roman times this region was on the very edges of the Roman world, actually in the Hellenistic context southeastern Anatolia was in as a wider region and eastern Anatolia was quite central. Why is that? Because for example Silesia and Comagena were bordering northern Syria which was actually from an ideological point from the aspect of elite population the center of one of the Hellenistic empires or on the other hand as our colleagues at Silesia and Cyprus were on the very edge where the forces coming from the Mediterranean from not just from Mediterranean but also from the Atlantic or the Indian oceans were confronting in the global confrontation between the Seleucids and the Ptolemies. So these guys were in the center and they were the typical and Cappadocia is even more interesting case and they were a typical representative of the Hellenistic imperial model and what model would that be? It is a model built upon the Middle Eastern imperial model that existed centuries if not millennia before the Hellenistic rulers but with a slight change the change was due to the realities after the Yusuf battle where this world politically fragmented. However, what we should remember is that this world was politically fragmented but not ideologically fragmented. What we have to remember is that any Ptolemic or Seleucid or Iganantimonid leader was actually a new Alexander ruler of the world of the United Universe. He was not a ruler of Syria or Egypt so in that ideology we are changing towards a world that I usually usually title as a model of multiversal rule. What does it mean? These people were living in parallel universes where they were all descendants of Alexander and his global empire and parallel not taking care of the other leader and actually in every next contact they were increasing their credentials. If for example a Seleucid leader would win the Ptolemies they would again say if the global leader knew Alexander ruled this or that or if he lost he would get Ptolemies princes and then again this increases the credentials and then we come to a crucial Ptolemy context which is very important for us and that Ptolemy context is actually the context that the Romans created crashing the big empires. This is the first century BC, first century, the gradual intervention of Rome in southeast Anatolia. What was important for this period? One of the important things of the Os Hellenistic system were the adjustments made in the Hellenistic system by Antiochus the Great. While this incidence or precedence existed very early even in the third century when the Cappadocians were given the first imperial princes, what changed in the second century was that Antiochus the Great actually translated it from an incident to a general policy. The policy was that in the final urge to reunite the world under his lead he actually gave a new pass for entrance of the local elites. He transformed it into a policy where the imperial princes were given and thus the local rulers and the local elites were actually introduced to the Hellenistic world and that's how we come to the claims universalistic pretensions of people like Dmitri Dapasov-Konduz or Tigranus or later in the Roman period elites of Cappadocia come again and even Sicily. So these are not some crazy guys that invented something of themselves, it was an system that actually functioned in the wider Hellenistic coinette and just for a change let's turn the subject in an Os Hellenistic role. How many of you are familiar with the donations of Alexandria? Anyone knows? Okay perfect so just for a minute it's a more complex theme but let's understand what the donations of Alexandria meant for the Romans and for Cleopatra or the Hellenistic rulers. Actually the Romans were given the same deal as the Eastern local elites. See for example in that context the Pompeii Caesar or Mark Antony would actually be very likened to a new diocese or new Heraclus and would be very common as a Hellenistic leader. However even Caesar that was proclaimed god in the local context on the edges of the Hellenistic world in Rome did not have a right to be the new Alexander or in the at least in the Hellenistic context he could not be the new Hellenistic ruler but his sons or daughters that has the bloods of Sadovius Antiochus or Alexander himself or the Argyats they could be the global ruler like new Alexander the son or Alexander Helius or Cleopatra Selina. Now we come to the moment when we question ourselves who is more legitimate for the global throne of Alexander in the post-Hellenistic concept. Antony's children with Cleopatra or the local princes of Comagena or Cappadocia. That explains the mental set the way these local leaders were thinking and in somehow it makes much more normal that Antiochus Theos of Comagena was celebrated in his small patty kingdom as a global ruler as new Alexander as new Persian king. Why? Because on the end of the day he was much more legitimate than Alexander Helius because he had few blood lines connected to the global empire and on the end of the day we have to remember that the Eastern elites like the Cappadocians or other Anatolian elites were actually given this free pass into the Hellenistic Imperial Coronet two centuries before the Roman war-lords the Roman general. Now let's fast forward for a second and see what happened with these consequences on the global Roman world. I will I just try to patch few things which happen. Number one for a second with the incident in Octium the local Roman elites felt safe under the early imperial policies that they are protected. Their conservative local culture stayed there and they didn't integrate totally in the wider Hellenistic world. However, the Mediterranean think have been changing rapidly. Even the next Julian or leaders already acted as Hellenistic rulers as Hellenistic dynasties in many of the things. Then when we speak about which is very particular Southeast Anatolia we usually go back to the Spassian which actually integrated this region into the Roman coin name to the Roman world. But what we have to bear in mind is that he also reintegrated Rome in the Hellenistic world. Why? He was he was put in Rome as empire by the elites of eastern southeastern Anatolia and and the eastern Mediterranean. In the time of his dynasty actually the Hellenistic universalistic and ruler related cults took over the empire and this is the the the connected with Isis and and Serapis cults and many others including a very important cult of mitris and which actually has very close connection to Southeast Anatolia and actually have a great success among the elites that were not exposed to the Hellenistic culture but were important part and will be important part in the in the late Roman times. What is very important is the third century that with our classicistic parts we understand as the as the end of the classical Rome. But in fact one thing that happened in the Hela in the Seleucid reforms or ideological reform is that the kings or the emperors didn't want didn't need to act as Alexander. They didn't need to act as Hellenistic dinosaurs. They were actually we have Roman emperors they're called Alexander Pilipus or they're the holy trees of the of the Helios Baal. They are by all means a new Hellenistic dynasty. So basically this these people are very proud like the the the Severians they are very proud of their Hellenistic heritage. They are very proud of their royal blood and somehow their close relatives and connected with the with the elites that we were talking about in Cappadocia Seleucidae or Comagannum. And the transformation is huge and we come to a point where at the and at the turn of the fourth century that the very empire of Rome emperor of Rome is actually officially safety in Anatolia. And the emperor of Rome for example Julian he's the new mistress like like the most radical case of imitating that the Eastern Anatolian elite and he's recreating his one of the many Alexander-style marches towards Persia. What is very important to to suggest in part of the global development is the change of priorities of the local leaders. Well until who's else let's take him as a first example had actually practical strength in his kingdom. He was important for the balance of power between the Romans and the Parkinson's. The later elites of the three regions had symbolic kingdoms. So their kingdoms practically didn't make a lot. They didn't have any concrete military importance but what they had is the importance of being officially recognized and legitimate. What does it mean? They even established the new connections with the Ptolemaic line, with the Jewish kingdom, with the Armenian kingdom and and even with descendants of Caesar and Augustus. And they were important because they were in the center of this new change of mindset which was happening in the new Rome which was not a republic anymore but it was a global empire very close with its mentality to the Hellenistic previous empires. So in a way what we have to ask ourselves is who won the global battles for the imperial throne? Was that the mighty republic with its general or the petty kingdoms counting on the legitimacy and continuity of the united world? Well there is one way to answer the question differently. If we try just for a moment to go out of our Eurocentric and classicistic lenses we might think that it is obvious that the credentials, traditions, capacities of this centrally positioned elites of the global Hellenistic world were strong enough, at least in the long run, to be the competitors that were coming at the outskirts of the Oecumen. Thank you so much.


Open this question up. Is Atlanta the South because of the time zone? Open this question up is Atlanta the South because of the time zone Hey, let me take some Did he clean it up a little bit afterwards did he say no he said he still said it wasn't so he said it's your time That's what he was what he's to spend the time And the fact that when we go down when we was going in the 90s All them Chicago dudes would be down there and a lot of New York dudes would be that of Philadelphia And you know, we weren't with me and we weren't with He said, you know, I love Atlanta. I used to live in Atlanta.   So he kind of like I said, he was a little paranoid.  Dang This three six mafia thing he love them boys, too, how did he build that relationship? I know you would know that we fit to get off here But closer to when they was in it after he moved to Atlanta when they was working on the So that was something to get a chance to rock with them all together man. He was I know that but I'm talking about other answers.  I ordered him a pimp cup You know, Sammy. That's the whole pimp cup.  So you gonna see me everywhere

Welcome to the session of simulation of the full wave rectifier using LT SPI software. These are the learning outcome of the session. In this session we are going to simulate the full wave rectifier with the resistive load and the full wave rectifier with the resistive and capacitive load. Before proceeding let me ask you one question why the half wave rectifiers are generally not used in a DC power supply? You may pause the video, think on the question. You can resume the video in order to see the answer. Let me give the answer. Now with the half wave rectifier the output voltage is zero for the half period of the time. It means that during a negative half cycle the output is zero. So the type of the supply available from the half wave rectifier is not satisfactory for the general power supply. That is why it is not generally used as a DC power supply. Let us see the simulation of full wave rectifier in LT SPI software. Before proceeding let us see what is the full wave rectifier. As shown in figure it consists of four diodes which are connected in a bridge configuration. As shown in figure during the positive half cycle these two diodes are conducting as a result the output is available. And during the negative half cycle these two diodes are conducting and thus we will get the output. In this way for the both positive and negative half cycle the two diodes are conducting as a result we will get the output DC power supply. But you can see here the output consists of the ripples. In order to remove these ripples you can use the capacitor. So this is the full wave rectifier with the RC load. As you can see that due to the addition of the capacitor in the circuit the results output waveform having the less ripples. So this is the previous waveform having the ripples which is without capacitor and this is the new waveform having no ripples or less ripples as compared to the previous output. So this happens because of the charging and discharging of the capacitor. As you see from figure during this session the capacitor discharges and during this session capacitor charges. Because of this charging and discharging of the capacitor the waveform does not go to the 0. So during this session the resistive capacitor discharges through the resistive load and again for this session the capacitor charges. Now we have to simulate these two waveforms in the LTSPY software. So let us see that. So this is the environment where we are going to draw the schematic of the circuit. So here we have we have different options available. So let us use this option component. So by using this option you can add the component to your circuit. So first component that we will need is the diode. So search for the diode here is the diode so click on ok. In order to rotate you can press control R. So let us add the four diodes. In order to select the diode number just go to move your cursor over that diode and then right click and pick a new diode. From this there are many options are available in the library you can select the appropriate diode. I will select the diode 1N4148 click on ok. Similarly for second diode right click and pick up a new diode select 1N4148 and similarly for the remaining two diodes. In this way we have selected the diode. Now connect these diodes together by using the wires. Now let us add the voltage source. So click on the component right here voltage and press ok. So here I will add the voltage source. Then let us add the transformer at the input. For the transformer I will add the two inductors. So this is one inductor and another by rotating that inductor I will add the another inductor that is L2. So we have the two inductors L1 and L2 the L1 inductor will act as an input. So let us connect the this L1 inductor the supply voltage. So in this way I will connect the inductor L1 to the supply and inductor L2 will act as a secondary of the transformer which will be given as a input to the diodes. Then press escape. Now let us add the resistor at the output. So here is a symbol of the resistor. Add the resistor at the output and then connect this resistor by using the wire. So this is the circuit diagram of the fully rectifier. Let us add the ground. So here is the symbol of the ground click on that symbol and here is the ground and here I will add the another ground at the input. Now these two inductors works as only the inductors before they are coupled with each other. In order to act this two inductor as a transformer we have to couple these two inductors. So we have to use the command. So here is an option which gives we can write the command which is written as pys directive click on that option and I will use the command capital K the name of the inductor L1. So another is L2 and 1. So this command stands for there is a coupling between the K stands for the coupling between the inductor L1 and L2 with the less noise. One stands for there is a no losses in between the two coupling. So here I will add. You can see that after the coupling we have here there are two bubbles are appeared. So this inform us that there is a coupling in between the two inductor. Now let us give the values to the inductor. Right click on that inductor and give the value 1 mille and for the another inductor right click give the value 2 mille. Let us give the supply voltage right click on that supply voltage and go to the advance. I will say select the sinusoidal input DC offset 0, amplitude select 5 volt and frequency you can select the 50. For the resistors I will give 0.1 milli ohm as a resistor. So give the output value to the resistor right click on that resistor and give the value 1 K. So here is a complete schematic of the full rectifier using the LT SPI software. In order to simulate that go to the option simulate go to the option edit simulation command and here I will add the simulation stop time as 50 millisecond and click ok. So the transition time is of the 50 millisecond. So go to the option run and click that. So let us observe the input first. So here is an input so the sinusoidal input given and let us observe the output and here is the output. So the blue output represents the output of the full rectifier and the green represent the input to the full rectifier. So this output is with the resistive load not the capacitive load. So we have not added the capacitor yet. So this is the output because of the resistance and you can see that there are many ripples are present in the output. So in order to get the DC output we have to add the capacitor. So I will close this window I will maximize this window. Let us add the capacitor and let us see what is the effect of adding the capacitor at the output. So here is the capacitor, select that capacitor and let us add that capacitor across this section click on that and in order to add the wires you can click on here and add the wire and then escape. Let us give the value of the capacitor as 10 u stands for micro. Let us run the simulation or this is the input and now this is the output. You can observe that the capacitor will charge during this session and discharge during the session due via the resistor. So because of the charging and discharging this waveform having a less little ripples as compared to the previous waveform. If you increase the capacitance what is the effect? Let us see that. If I use the 100 micro faraday what is the effect of that capacitance? You can see that you will get a more smooth DC at the output. If you change the value of the capacitor from 10 micro faraday to 100 micro faraday the DC ripples which is present in the output DC output will be the less as compared to the previous. So in this way by using the rc component at the output we can have a smooth DC waveform with the less ripples in the output. So in this way we have created the schematic using the LT SPICE software for the full wire rectifier with the resistive load and rc load and simulated that in LT SPICE and seen we have seen what is the effect of adding the capacitance and changing that value of the capacitance from 10 micro faraday to 100 micro faraday. These are the references for the session. Thank you.
