Good evening folks. Can you all hear me? Yeah, so you have to tell me if you can hear Hear me. Okay. Very good. So I can see lots of people responding now Okay, so welcome to the first mathematics and tomorrow guys. I hope Like last year we would be able to engage more and more with you and solve more problems Objective and some protocols as we have, you know friends from Batches where I don't really, you know, are I'm not very directly involved with them. So hence There is a protocol of the class Okay, no one first protocol. No chat. No discussion among yourself. So that's banned So I'm you know here That takes away a lot of bandwidth of the instructor. So it's Surya. No discussion. Okay So no one is going to discuss amongst yourself There's a provision that I can bar you from discussing amongst yourself But then I don't really want to do such kind of thing. So it's let's maintain the protocol Someone named iPhone. No, maybe they are. Yeah, so one request to all of you. Thanks Surya for highlighting that So now anyone who you feel is, you know, having some weird name Please highlight and the person and all of you have to identify yourself with the names that will be a mandatory thing because lots of unwarranted and, you know Illegal activities have been reported. So hence I would request all of you if you have any other name but your Name which you use in your school Please don't do that. Okay, by the way, just to tell you the technicalities of it every every bit of it is recorded including the IP address from your from where you are right now logged in and Every check of yours every click button click you do everything is received to us received by us in the form of a log Okay, so hence, you know, no worries. So if at all there is, you know, any Thing which is not legal or which is Immoral or whatever that's immediately recorded and we can trace To the IP address level so hence anyways, so this is what your information you must be Technically aware what all features are there every You know movement every activity whether you are not dating where you're talking to someone How many times you are, you know typing in the message box Then can you do it on moxa sir if it is ever going to be a fastest fingers first then can you do it on See moxa. We are trying to upgrade because there is we have a limit of number of people who can attend the session and Hence, we are doing it mostly. This is our Couple of classes on zoom and then we'll again go back to moxa because we have we are developing an integrated leaderboard in moxa itself. It will take some time But because of this corona issue everything has just been disrupted. But anyways Okay, folks, so we will start all of your, you know, those who are new with me in the session in the sense Those who do not know me. This is Tushar and I did mathematics and physics 9 10 11 10 12th. So I train for both subjects and now There's a protocol in the class wherein you have to say why when you know when you have to say, you know, say yes So just a demo why Why why why why all of you press why in your distinct? Yes Very good. So most of you know it already and if you have to say no, you have to say n like what we had in physics class So nnn is no no, right? And if you didn't understand anything you have to say what you know all what is that if you didn't understand anything Yes, very good. So I have to say x so so that we can Work on that particular problem now again likewise uncle. Have you joined the class uncle you're there So uncle sir is supposed to join because I will not be able to You know take this because you guys respond so fast that I lose track of who is saying what and become very difficult for me Just a minute So let me see if you can if I can manage that then I will do myself. Otherwise after some time Uncle sir will be here to take care of that. Okay, so I believe all the batches all the students who are here Have already done trigonometry. Just give me why confirmation why trigonometry is done by all Okay, great. Okay, great. Oh, I could figure out a way of Yeah, yeah, okay. Okay. Okay, fine. So now I can maintain a log as well just give me a second and I will get a um Little bit on your so that you can also see your performance Okay, so Let's see if we can do that. Just give me one moment So I will have now a leaderboard like that. Okay. Very good. So now start with sharing of the screen so sharing the screen with all of you and Let me arrange my screen like that. Okay. That's cool. And yes um, so here is the share screen option and I am sharing the screen with all of you fellas. Okay. I hope you can see the screen all of you Just give me a thumbs up if you can see the screen guys See the screen See the screen. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. So can you see a leaderboard also? So here I will type the name Yep, so that's what I'm going to do. Okay. So let's begin with the class so you know the rules you have question and then You cannot see leaderboard now. There's no nothing in leader. Oh, it's okay. Because I have not shared. Okay. Let me share the entire screen then wait so Share screen share Now I guess you can see the screen Can you see Can you see the leaderboard? Yeah, very good. So We will be jotting down All here. So we have to be patient because see your lots of people are there.  Okay. So here's the first question We will be doing trigonometry today and let's see how many we can cover We will be doing 10th level stuff basics level and then we'll try to get a little bit of advance. So here comes the first question cos a is 4 upon 5 then the value of tan a is Right you have to answer in no, no, you have to answer in a b c d then otherwise I will not be able to Get it Yep. So, okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Come on. Come on. Okay. So this is warming up game Warming up warming up. No problem warming up. Okay. So most of you have done it So let me see who has done it for the first this thing Okay, so I have the answer. Yes. I have the answer. I have First time stress. So hence the first answer today is from stress I hope this is stress from indra nagar. Right stress. Is this stress indra nagar? Yes, stress. Yes. Yes. So he is the first person then I have surya Who have responded correctly then you have a sharduli from k r m. So here is sharduli. So first then I have her shita and Aiden so these are the five people her shita Her shita and Aiden are the five people Okay, so the first leaderboard is here. Okay. Now next Format also. What is the format? What is the format? So I'm in tab take six tabs to get to chat. Please do in moxa next No, I'm okay. So you get into a pc. No Or if possible anyways, so anyone wants anyone who wants this answer say x Say x Anyone no one wants no one wants the answer. Oh, so cool. So that means all of your so cost a is four upon five It was a very very You know trivial question So if this is a this is for this is five cost a four upon five then tan a My Pythagoras term three. So tan is three by four, right? So answer b is correct So the first question is done going to send a question ready Ready ready. No, no no cross talk. Please. Okay. Next question is here So If sine a is half the value of cot a Is cot a is okay. Okay. Okay. So I have answers now Very good. Very good. Very good. So you have to mention question number. Also. Otherwise, I will I will lose track So to mention which question number Also So I have first our So his first entry is Then second entry is Surya again. So Surya gets a plus one. That means Okay, and then we have a ratchena.   So nana, right? So I have I think we I'm done. So nana. That's not Surya Yes, so one two three four and one more Pranav Jambur is the next person. So Okay, yeah, so this is Pranav J Okay, I think the screen is going on enough. Let me do some trick so that you guys are comfortable and I can I can always put it like that Yeah, now looks cool. And where is the Just give me a moment so that I can do this This is the score cut it from here and paste it in the start. Yes now. Yes very good and take it to here So that there is no flickering Sir, I answered before nana No problem. You are count. Who's who's who? What's your name? Shastanji Oh, you answered before nana. So never mind. So Sanjeev is also added. So Okay, great. Now, no problem guys. Anish Don't worry. It's okay. Try solving forget about typing answers. Okay. So answer is a All of you have correctly done is caught a sign a is half. So what is caught a caught a will be What is it caught a cost a Upon sign a these are all very trivial ones. So cost a is under root one minus sign square a Divide by sign a so you can do it from there. So one minus sign square a is one minus one by four like that So this is this is yes one by cost and then sign Sign is simply half. So hence you'll get root over three by two by one by two So root three. So hence answer is a so all of you got it. Correct. Okay. Very good. No problem No problem. Now, let's go to next level question number Yeah Do it Yes So answer answer has to be in terms of three a whatever three a vcd. Whatever you say like that Okay, keep keep writing keep writing So Okay, so here is what I have aditya k first So plus one then I have 3 s s so plus one Then I have laksh So laksh is new entrant laksh laksh Okay, laksh has got laksh has got one And then I have pranav. So plus one So hence one two three four and then us lesha is the new entrant. So us Lesha Us lesha is a new entrant. So here is the ush Okay, here is the so all the names plus one plus one plus one like that very good. Okay. So answer is 3b. Yes, correct 3b. How value of the expression course he can 75 plus theta. This is of complementary angles Complementary angles Okay, complementary angles Okay, so complementary angles say that the value of the expression cosecant Uh, 75 plus theta minus secant 15 minus theta minus tan and all that is zero. Why because cosecant cosecant 75 plus theta can be written as cosecant cosecant Or rather secant Secant 90 minus 75 plus theta Why because cosecant 90 minus theta secant theta and vice versa Okay, see I uh, whatever I am getting here as the this thing don't worry guys one once in a while it will happen Don't worry. So whatever I get I will take that. Okay. So anyway, so secant 90 minus Uh, 75 plus theta minus secant 15 be generous.  Don't worry. So secant 90 minus 75 plus theta secant 15 minus theta if you see this one and here this one will get cancelled, right? So they will become zero And exactly for the same reason this one and this one will be zero any x in this case Any x question number three any x anyone wants to Uh, and wants me to explain once again No, right any x no, okay, let's go to the third one the fourth one Given sine theta is a by b then cos theta is equal to oh x there is one attira and uh Okay, okay. So guys, yeah, you you please solve this and I'll attira and suman. I will come back to this So given that sine theta is a by b then cos theta is equal to many people are now responding Very good. So I have I have who all who all who all so I can see first answer I got for this Is from surya P Right surya p Surya is the new entrant. No, he's already there. So one becomes two And then I got from akshit such they are so akshit is here. So it becomes one plus then I got from Srishti so srishti is new entrance sris New entrant srishti. Okay. I got from srishti. Then I got from medha as well. Medha Medha Okay, great. And then I got it from aditya kumar nps ypr. So aditya Ypr I like just to Okay, so lot many people have done it. Wow. Very good. So these are the top five Okay. Now. So you missed me again. Oh, where is your name? Your name doesn't appear sanjeev So in my in my uh, this thing the first five people who got it are I'll I'll show you once again. Wait a minute. I have not received from you for me. It is For me the the ones which I have received. I'll read out the names once again. I have got Surya p then akshit such devas srishti sridhara medha and aditya kumar nps And sanjeev comes after mandunaths Jv, right? So sorry sanjeev. This is what I have received So yes, maybe the timing timing is Timing timing timing is something so your clock and my clock So let's go by this. There's no hard and fast this thing. You're doing good. No worries. So all of you have responded. The answer is c Uh, uh Answer is c. Did you all get yes answer is c and uh, how it's very easy So please listen to me very carefully sine theta is a by b Then cos theta is simply under root one minus sine square theta. So let me write it once again here So cos theta is under root one minus sine square theta. This is established identity. Why sine square theta plus cos square theta Is equal to one Okay, so from there under root one minus sine square theta will be one minus a square by b square Which is nothing but under root b square minus a square by b square, which is under root B square minus a square by b, right? So hence c is the answer any x in this case any x in this case Any x anyone didn't understand this please raise your hand or let me know otherwise Let's move on to for those who didn't understand three. I will come back to that.  Yes This is an interesting question is in cos alpha plus beta is zero then sine alpha minus beta can be reduced to answer is So so fast So fast Okay, so now I will ask the top five people who have answered this to explain this as well So so that I can you know, uh, yeah, I can listen from them also the first entrance here first entrant Was who let me just tell you So the first entrant is arian tundam. Can you unmute and explain arian? How did you solve this question? Arian, can you hear me? Yes, sir So first, uh, it's given that cos alpha beta is zero that gives us alpha plus 90 Alpha plus beta is 90 very good because cos 90 is zero. Yes arian go ahead Uh, then we used complementary angles.  Yes Uh, so replacing like that we get sine 90 minus alpha minus beta sine 90 minus alpha minus beta Sorry, you are saying 90 is alpha plus beta So what should I write? I don't know what are you suggesting we need to do What should I write here? Because zero Yeah, what should I write? Zero I guess No, no, how see how did you get cos to beta?  Take your time. Uh, so I will give a chance to next. Surya You answered it Now tell me how do you know this is to beta? Uh, or whatever it is. Yeah cost to be like unmute and explain Surya, can you hear me? Hello anyone Surya, can you hear me? Surya is No, not remembering and all is not allowed. No one will be now. I understood. Where are you getting the answers from now? You'll have to explain. Okay. So I nullify those those people who will not be able to explain Are out of the race. Okay. So don't this is not a guesswork guys. You have to Tell the right answer explain it properly No, so no remember. So next is next in line be ready. Who was that? So can I explain who's this? So Sanjeev. No Sanjeev wait wait for the you know, let me just first give the chance to those who have Answered correctly. So first was Then Surya then Pranav and Newton explain Pranav So, uh, we know alpha plus beta is 90 Okay So we can substitute alpha equals 90 minus beta Alpha is equal to 90 minus beta. Okay.  Yes Sine Hold on. Hold on. Wait. Wait Next Sambarudh unmute and explain next step Sambarudh, can you hear me? So I have Pranav then Sambarudh Then I had Akshit, Sanjeev and Pratik Shah. These are the people Right. So Sambarudh, do you hear me? Or I'm not able to see his chat. Anyways, what does Sambarudh say? Can he can he? Excuse me, sir. Yes. Who's this? This is Aryan Tendon sir. I can can I explain the next step, sir? Next next question next question. Okay. So, uh, then, um, uh, yes Akshit, can you unmute and explain? Next step Sir, sine 90 minus beta minus beta Okay, so I'm beta plus B So I have to replace alpha by this, right? Yeah. Okay. So you got Cost to beta. Yeah Very good cost to beta. Right. So this is how it has to be. You have you must be able to explain guys. So the point first goes to Pranav Pranav could explain so two and sorry two and then it is Sambarudh, I give you benefit of doubt. So Sambarudh, Sambarudh And then I had Sanjeev Akshit, Akshit was there. Akshit, Akshit is Akshit is two And then I'll give the benefit of doubt to Sanjeev and Pratiksha. San Sanjeev and Pratiksha Sir, it's already there. Sorry. Oh, Sanjeev is there. Sanjeev is there. Okay. Sanjeev is there. So Sanjeev becomes Yes. Okay. Good. Good. So you must be able to explain the answer. No problem. No problem. No problem. Next. Weird way. I mean it was Yeah, sorry. Style and error. Come again. It is Sarguli. Yes, sir. You have explained Sarguli. Yes. All new ways are welcome 10 points. If you have a New and different way, we can I will give you a wild card entry of 10 points. Thank you. Yeah, tell me. Cost 90 is zero. So I just took alpha and beta 45, 45. So I Yeah, so then you know, you can just take it as 45 and then you see that the sign alpha minus beta comes to be one So then you can say it's cost two beta and then No, I understand. But then alpha plus beta could be 30 plus 60 as well. No, Sarguli. So but then it would still work, right? Yeah, definitely. So if you are in an exam, please So anyway, we will be telling you that When in an exam Don't go by any formal method. The examiner or the evaluator just is looking for one of your choices. A, B, C, D He doesn't know whether you have done it by trick or by some shortcut or by some lengthy process doesn't matter You have to just get the answer for exam point of view. Yes, definitely But right now we will go by the formal methods and you know because alpha beta would be anything It could be 29 and 61 and things like that. So hence, okay Next This one is multiple times. You've done it What is it? six Oh my god, so many times people are Pranav is writing so many times. Okay Okay, let me just ask for the explanation then and then there will be a modification with five point bonus Okay, so on this question Oh, wait, wait, wait People who have typed first Aditya Viswanath enters Aditya. I will not want to ask you Aditya G I'll not ask Aditya Bajaj. I'll not ask stress and are in so all of you. I'm going to give it to you Because you guys have already. Yeah, so this is a very trivial one. So let me just first, you know, Aditya was the first person And then I have After Aditya Aditya is there Aditya. I have not mentioned your name. So Aditya G is there now G is the second person. Then I have Aditya Bajaj third person Aditya Bajaj is third and then you have stress stress is here. So one two And are in London are in are in are in. I was not there. So I will add are in here Very good. Very good. So he gets one point. Anyways, yeah So yes, so all of you now know this is the there is no, uh, you know, because why be because tan 45 is there. So, you know, tan one is equal to cot 89 degrees Right. Why because tan theta Is equal to cot 90 minus theta and vice versa cot theta Is equal to is equal to tan 90 minus theta. Very good. Very good for with that logic tan one and tan Right Right. So this will be there.  So one Centan two and tan 88 one tan three and tan 87 one But there will be one tan 45 in between also, which will be alone There is no pair up pairing up for this guy. So hence No, I I typed Aditya G Here is Aditya G. Aditya K is already there. Oh, I have twice. I've tried to take it twice. So here one plus Okay. Oh, so I have to write Aditya. Oh, sorry. Sorry. I I got my mistake. Aditya is here and Aditya K was one only. Yeah Never mind. Thanks for correcting Thanks for correcting. Okay. Now the variation to this is this. What is this value tan one degree tan two degree tan three degree tan 45 degree Not 45. So it will go to tan 45 multiplied by tan 90 degree answer What is the answer? Let me see who answers first Answer, answer, answer. Please keep answering. I am recording the answers And I'm I'm I'm recording the answers. I'm yes. Yes. Yes. Hold on those who have got zero And those who have got points ahead all so those who are saying it is zero. Let me just see Who all so we started with we started with We started with who first person just so many people are responding. Someone has answered seven also. That's good. Okay. So If I if I go back So if I go back, uh First answer lux lux says lux lux says Zero and he gets a minus five Okay, then pranav says undefined pranav gets one more. Where is pranav? So he gets three And then surya says zero. He gets minus five as well. Where is surya surya minus five dude Minus five. Okay. And then akshit satchadeva says zero akshit. Where is akshit minus five Okay, heavy penalty and then ishani ishani have you are the top five with minus five. Sorry Okay, so ishani has entered of five. So first five are done. Yes one two three four five Everyone else I can see anirudh saying zero shares saying zero shares also minus five Okay, who else who else aditi bhajaj minus five. Where is aditi? Aditi aditi aditi bhajaj is minus five.  All of you are minus five now pranav jambur. Very good minus five. Where is pranav? Pranav pranav. I I enjoy doing all this pranav. Where is pranav jambur? Pranav minus five. Okay. Now tell me why did you say Tell me why did you say Why did you say this zero Yes, surya. Yes, everyone those who are you know by mistake by mistake is disastrous Disasters, right? Right. So hence this is what you learn. So all these leaderboard leaderboard is at one place But you can't really you know No, so this is this is what the learning is don't really jump on you know seeing something which is very tempting Than 90 all of you know is undefined. So how can this number be defined right? So hence No infinity is not a right answer. It's undefined No infinity is not an answer Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay guys again. Hey, mr. Anizhut. Yep Yeah, do people who said not defined get points? Yes hardly so But you know, I will I I saw that you have you know said, you know plus one so hence but then Let it be like that. Okay, but you you got a punishment those who have said um Okay, so one more variation now When you are now answering this please be very very careful. Okay Never mind. Okay tan zero tan one tan two tan three dot dot dot dot tan 90 degree What is the answer? Yes. It's again not defined Again people are saying zero and all it's not defined guys see anything which is Multiplied by a not defined number. How can you get certainty? You know, so hence zero into not defined is not defined It's not defined. I don't know what it is. I don't know not defined only Okay, so hence I can't say what is this. Okay Fair enough. So be okay. Let me taste your Taste your patience one more. So the answer is not defined Not defined. Okay. So okay. Tell me this tan zero degree tan two degrees now tan two degrees. Okay tan four degrees dot dot dot tan 88 degrees Uh, what is the answer? What is the answer? Yeah, okay. Now this time you have got it. Correct. Yes, that is That is zero right because whatever is this value. I don't care till it is defined. That's fine And then multiplied by zero is zero So, no, this is a bonus question. You don't get a point on this. Okay. Next question guys. Here it is so the question is cost nine alpha is cost nine alpha Nandini, uh, you did understand that. Okay. So I'll explain to Nandini here. You can look at the board Nandini so, uh, you know, uh Yeah, so here is the here is the answer for the previous one tan zero degrees into tan two degrees Into tan four degrees and blah blah blah. Whatever it is tan 88 degrees. Let's say So whatever is this value? This is a finite value. I know there will be some value to it But tan zero is zero. So hence zero into any any finite value Finite value is zero Okay, so hence you got it. Yep great. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. Okay. So answer is people are saying seven is C. Correct. Okay. Let me see who all have done it. Seven C. A lot of people have already responded. Very good. Very good. Very good. Okay. So I get points and then question number akshit fachadeva is the first person. So akshit. Where is akshit? So you get akshit akshit akshit Where is it? Yeah, here it is. So you get one Three seven C. Okay. And Aditya G says no one is from Pranav Jambore C. Okay, Pranav Pranav you get one more. So four and then I have Sanjeev ten Sanjeev Sanjeev very Sanjeev Sanjeev. Yeah, Sanjeev is here. So two So three people done. Meeda Meeda gets one Meeda. Okay. And now I have one more aria Rao. So aria Rao gets new entry. Aria. Okay. One. Now I will ask who will who will explain you will explain Meeda Meeda unmute and explain how did you get C. Come on. Meeda can you hear me? Can you unmute and say Okay. Hello Meeda. So I can't I can do by chat. No problem. My name is vanished. Laksh. Laksh is there no. There is Laksh. Here is Laksh. You got minus five. Okay. Never mind. So next who can explain anyone. So Sanjeev you can unmute and explain. Yes. So here they have given that cost nine alpha is equal to sine alpha. Okay. So sir, cost nine alpha is going to be cost 90 degree minus alpha cost nine alpha is going to be sine 90 degrees minus alpha very good. No sir. Cost 90 degree minus alpha cost nine alpha is okay. I have have I written the first part correctly this one sir. Yes sir. Cost nine alpha is equal to sine alpha. Okay. Next. So its supplementary angle is equal to cost 90 degree minus alpha. Okay. So I just substituted cost there taking Meeda's common. So nine alpha is going to be 90 degree minus alpha. So 10 alpha is 90 degree. Alpha is going to be 90 degree. So there I took tan five alpha is equal to tan 45 nine into five and then tan 45 is one. So. Okay. Awesome. Very good. Right answer full marks minus five. Minus five is for those who have done blunder. Okay. Very, very easy. Question number eight. Fire. Fire. Okay. So I have here. Yeah. So I have first answer is coming from R N single and the answer is answer is correct.  Next is coming from Aditya K. So Aditya K is here. He gets one more and then I think Aditya K no Aditya says answer is Aditya K. You are saying zero. You are saying zero. Okay. Yes. Yeah. Correct. Okay. R N Aditya Aden. Aden gets one. So Aden welcome Aden. So you get one. Then Laksh says A. So Laksh Laksh Laksh is here or Laksh had two earlier I believe and then minus five anyway. This is not going to compensate and then three now and then who has Pranav K P. This is new Pranav. So Pranav now K P. Okay. So yeah. So you got the entrance here. Okay. Very good. So 8 A is the answer is very. Yeah. It is very very. Oh, you are there. Never mind. We'll count it and nobody's. So Aden is there. So I can add one here and delete it in here. Yeah. Anyways, good. So it's very easy. Right angle at C then the value of cos A plus B. What is cos A plus B cos 90 degrees because A plus B right angle that C right so C is 90 by triangle sum 180. So A plus V is 90 degrees. So cos of 90 is zero. So hence you have now it's done. Okay. Never mind. Next question. Mind you love to explain. No, you have to answer in terms of ABCD guys. ABCD. So this is question number nine and yeah. So question number nine answer is question number nine. So first answer comes from Aditya G. Okay. So one then comes from Aditya Bajaj. Aditya Bajaj you get one now. Sorry. Minus five will be there. One. Then Aditya Bajaj. Pranav. Pranav Jambur. Where is Pranav? Pranav you get five. So now you are at zero after Pranav Aditya G. Hey Aditya you have written to twice. So one, two, three, one, two, three, four. Sanjeev. Sanjeev Sanjeev. Sanjeev. Where is Sanjeev? You get three. And then Harshita. Harshita is here. So she gets one. Okay. So right answer is right answer is yes I will explain sin A plus sin square. Who? Who? Okay. First of all I'll give this chance to Aditya G. Can you unmute and explain? Aditya G. Yes. So sin A plus sin square A is equal to one. Okay. So sin A is equal to one minus sin square A. So sin A is one minus sin square A. Very good. But one minus sin square A is equal to a cost square A. Very good. Those who didn't understand please note one minus sin square A is cost square A. Very good. Why is that? Because by the basic identity sin square A plus cost square A is one. Then. So sin A is equal to cost square A. So sin A is equal to cost square A. Very good. And sin square A is equal to cost power four A. Yes. So sin to the power two A is cost power four A. Okay. And from both the equations you get one. Yeah. So if you add this both these two equations one and two you add both you will get sin A plus sin squared A. Correct. Will be nothing but cost squared A plus cost to the power four A. Right. And we have we have been given that sin A plus sin square A here is one. So hence this is equal to one. So cost square A plus cost to the power four A is one. Okay. So one. So yep. All of you any x here understood. The answer is A. Anyone? Yeah. Very good. Next. Next. Yeah. Question number 10. Question number 10 guys. Another method is there. Okay. We'll listen to you. But wait. I just saw your message. So I have now from Surya. Question number 10. And he is saying it's D and Pranav also saying it's D. So Surya says D. And then Pranav also says D. Pranav Jambore. Here you have D. Then Aditi Bajaj says Aditi Bajaj says one more. And then I have Arya Rao. Arya Rao. Arya. You're there. Right. So two. So how many? One, two, three, four and Akshit. Akshit. Akshit. Where is Akshit? Arya Rao. Please explain. Unmute and explain please. Arya can you hear me? Hello. Arya, can you hear me? Arya. No, Arya, Arya, Arya. Arya Rao. Please unmute and explain. You can't hear me. Can you hear me? Arya. Never mind. So who's Surya? Explain. Surya P. Explain. Can you hear me? Guys, can you hear me? Hello. Yes, sir. Arya, please go ahead and explain. Sir, so sine alpha is equal to half. Yes. And cos beta is equal to half. Very good. By our normal trigonometric tables, we know that alpha is equal to 30 degrees. And beta is equal to 60 degrees. Therefore, 30 plus 60 will give us 90 and 10 degrees 90. Can there be any other method without using trigonometric table? Can you do that? Yes, sir. Who is this? Aryan Singhal. Yes, Aryan. Go ahead. Sir, you can use complementary angles. So cos beta is equal to sine 90 minus, yeah, cos beta is, yeah, sine 90 minus beta. And we know that cos beta is equal to sine alpha. Cos beta is equal to sine alpha. Yes. Now we can simply add t. Now we can, yeah. Yeah. So from here, you can compare the argument. So 90 minus beta is equal to alpha. So alpha plus beta is 90. So there are two ways. One was using the trigonometric table. Another was without. Good, Aryan. I gave you another method. Oh, another method. Who is this name, please? Exciting game. Locke. Locke. Locke, go ahead. So sine alpha and cos beta, they can only be equal when both alpha and beta are equal. So in an isosceles triangle. Not necessary. Not necessary, not necessary, Laksh. The sine alpha is half. Any way you said alpha is 30 and beta is 60. It happens only in this case. Sir, can we do like this? How? Explain. Okay. So sir, can we say half plus half is equal to one? So if we, oh. Yep, half plus half. So. Okay, we can. Sorry. All right. So there are two methods. There is one more method, which is called multiple angle. We learn in 11th grade. That also can be used, but then not now. It's not required. Okay. So great. Right. Okay. Understood. No problem. Okay. Let's go to the next one. So I have given the point for you. Okay. Here is it. Here it is. Sine one is 90 degrees. What? So first is, first answer coming from, I am getting so many answers here. So first answer is coming from Aditya K and he is saying answer is question 11. Answer is, Aditya, your answer is wrong, dude. Laksh Bharni. Answer is wrong. Medha Raj. Answer is wrong. Pranav Jambur. Answer is wrong. Most of you have done wrong. Why? First correct answer is coming from Aditya Viswanath. Good. Aditya is getting the first point here. That is two second point. Then I have got correct answer from Sanjeev. So Sanjeev, my dear, where are you? Here are you? So four. And then I am getting from Shobhita. Shobhita is new entry. So Shobhita is getting one. And then Aditya Bajaj gets another one. So good. And who else? So done. So Pranav, wrong. Aditya K, wrong. And then from Mo Amita. So Mo Amita is your first. Answer is B.  Aditya Kumar NPS. You are saying X. I will explain. Don't worry. Okay. Many of you are saying X. Why it is X plus? Okay. Never mind. So let's break these into two parts. This one and this one. Okay. Yes. That was an add-on single RN. Don't worry. Now, so if you see sine square, 22 degrees. Let me explain. And sine square, who will explain this? I will give this chance. Who will explain? Anyone who wants to explain this? Aditya K. Aditya K is saying first. So let him explain. Aditya K, go ahead. Aditya, can you hear me? Hello, Aditya. I don't think he can hear me. Yes, Aditya Bajaj, go ahead. Next is. So we use complementary angles. We know sine square 22 degrees is equal to sine square 90 minus 22, which is cos square 68 degrees. 90 minus? 22. Hey, no. Sine square 22 is not sine square 90 minus 2. Cos square. That's how we write it in steps according to the book. Sine square 90. Included sine square 22 is equal to cos square 68, but in steps it's equal to this only. No. So anyways, wait a minute. Sine square 22 is not equal to here. Sine square 90 minus 22. This is wrong. Yes. So, but I don't know. I have a chapter in the book. No, you check. It will be sine. Cos square 90 minus 22. Okay, so. Any of them. Anyways, so hence, yes, go ahead. Go ahead. It's cos square 68 plus sine square 68. And similarly, the denominator also, it's sine square 68 plus cos square 68. Yes. So this is cos square 68, okay. Which basically, by using the identity, sine square theta plus cos square theta is 1. So it's one by one, right? Okay, hold on. Hold on. Hold on. So first part is rightly explained by her. So she's saying sine square 22 is anyways cos square 68. Why?  Okay, so that will give you sine square 22 as cos square 68 in the numerator. Now, if you see cos square 68 plus sine square 68 divided by again, if you do the same thing in the denominator, you'll get sine square 20. What's sine square 68 again, plus cos square 68, right?  And in the denominator also, it will be one. So one by one is one. So this part is one. This part is one. Okay, what about this? Who will explain the second part? Sir, can I explain? Who's the first can I? R&N Pranam, Supra, R&N, I'll give you a chance. Yes, R&N, go ahead. So basically, again by complementary angles, we know that sine 27 is equal to cos 63. Amazing. Okay, so sine 27, guys, sine 27 is equal to cos of 90 minus 27, right? Yes, sir. 90 minus 63. Yeah, cos of 90 minus, no, that's correct. Yes, sir, 90 minus 63. So 90 minus 27. Yes, 90 minus 27. Yes, so that means cos of 63. Yeah, this is nothing but cos of 63 degrees, right? So replace sine 27 by cos of 63 degrees. So this sine of 27 will be gone and it will become what? Cos square 63. Sine square 63 plus cos square 63. And that is again one. One plus one. Two. So two parts, two ones, two, right? Those who could not understand, now it is clear to you. Give me a thumbs up. Why? Why, why? Give me a thumbs up. Those who asked. Yes. Okay, great. Great. Okay, hold on. No, no, no answering now. Next question is this. Question number 12. People are taking time in this. Oh my God, okay. So here is the first answer. First answer is here. So Aryan is the first Aryan Tandon. He's the first person who has answered. So Aryan Tandon gets one. Then Pranav Jambur is the second person who has answered. So Pranav gets one more. Then I have Anirudh Desai. Welcome. But Anirudh, what's your answer? You have written two. Which one should I take? Then Mehta comes, Mehta, Mehta, Mehta, Mehta, Mehta, Mehta is two. Then I have Laksh. Laksh, Varani, Laksh, where is Laksh? Laksh, here he is. So yep. And then I have one more. Laksh ke baad. Harshita. I got Harshita here. Harshita one. Right. So I have Pranav Sanjeev is also there. What did I do? Aryan Pranav Sanjeev. Oh Sanjeev was also there. Pranav Sanjeev. Pranav Sanjeev. Sanjeev, Sanjeev, Sanjeev. My word. So many people are now included here. So I am losing the track. Okay. Yes. Okay. Yeah. Sir, mine becomes two. Yeah. Harshita are two. Okay. Yes. Okay. Very good. C is the answer. Who can explain? Who will explain? Can I explain? Who's can? This is Aryan Tandon, sir. Aryan Tandon. Yes, you had a lost opportunity. So explain. Sir, in this question, we'll divide the numerator and denominator by cos theta, sir. Right. Very good. So dividing numerator and dividing nr and dr by cos of theta. Yes. So what will happen? Sir, we'll get fourth and fourth and theta minus one and fourth and theta plus one. So let me write the steps so that those who are not able to understand will get the view cos theta. So I am dividing the numerator as well as denominator as suggested by Aryan by cos theta. Okay. Here then this is cos theta by cos theta. So now it's a matter of simplification. So this is four times tan theta minus one divided by four of tan theta plus one. Why? Because sine by cos is tan. Next, my dear. Aryan, go ahead. It's given in the question that four tan theta is three. So we'll get three minus one and three plus one. Yeah. So four tan theta is three. So you'll get, okay. So four tan theta directly, you can, you know, four tan theta value is given to you. That is three from here. So write three minus one by three plus one. Sorry. What? Yeah. Three plus one. So hence it is one upon or two upon four. Two. Very good. Right. Nice. So Aryan single another method. Aryan will get two points for another method. Go ahead. Aryan, another method if you have. So basically, one by one, one by one, everyone will get a chance. Yes. Yes. Go ahead. Aryan. So four tan theta is equal to three. So that implies that tan theta is equal to three by four. Okay. So using Pythagorean triplets, you can find out that the hypotenuse is five. So you know the value of sin theta and cos theta and then you can substitute and calculate. Yes. But I would, I would ask you not to go to Pythagorean serum anymore in trigonometry. Please use identities to solve such questions. Okay. You can do that. There's no wrong in it. You'll get marks and all that. But then that is like leave these kind of things for eight and nine graders. Now you are in 10th grade. So you will use identities. You play with identities. Okay. Aditya has another method. Aditya, go ahead and tell me. Aditya, you have another method or the same method? Anyone else has any other method? No. Same. Okay. I have another method. Four. I have another method. Let me show you that method. There you go. Four tan theta is equal to three. Right? So it will be four sin theta by cos theta is equal to three. That means four sin theta is equal to three cos theta. I will use this. Where?  It's the same thing, but then different way of doing it. And then three cos theta plus cos theta, isn't it? Because four sin theta was three sin theta. So hence if you see this is two cos theta by four cos theta. And if cos theta is not zero, you can eliminate cos. So you'll get one by two. Okay. Is there any other method? Is there any other method? No method. Right? Very good. So 12 done. Question number 13. Do this. 13. Question number 13. But you don't need to calculate what hyper because it cancels in numerator and denominator. Anyways, from, yeah. So hence I'm getting the first answer. First answer is from, now who's that? First answer is question, Nandini is asking for question 12. Okay. So here is question 12, Nandini. By the way, I will give the points now to, Momita says, Momita, your answer is wrong. Pregival answer is wrong. All of you are wrong. Wait a minute. Nandini, is this okay? Yes, sir. You can change. Thank you. Great. So all of you are going in the wrong direction, my friend. All of you. Why is that? Yeah. One answer is there. I can see one, one answer, which is Sharduli you have done. I think, wait. Yes. So I can see only Sharduli coming up with the right answer. All the answers are wrong. All the, okay. I didn't, yes, two points. Sorry. I didn't get two points for explaining, but then I thought it was, it will be a different method. But anyways, I had promised while giving you two. Don't worry. Okay. Nyanesh, me. Yes, Nyanesh. You also, now you have changed the answer. Now people have changed the answer. So only Sharduli will get because all of you have. So who had said, okay. So next was Nyanesh. Yes. Nyanesh and Nitya. Okay. And Aditya, no wrong. So hence I have new entry. Nyanesh. Nyanesh and Nitya. And Aditya, no wrong answer. Then Nana. Nana is new entry. Nana gets one. Nana. Nana gets one. So four people and one more I'm looking for Nana. And Aditya K. Okay. Aditya K. Where is Aditya K? Here it is. So three. Yeah. These people have got it. Okay. So all of you are saying A. Sharon also, but sorry, dear. You just missed it by one. One, you know, yeah. Oh, you're already there. Nana, you're there. Nana is there. Oh, yes, she's there. So one. Okay. Never mind. Lots of people are now there. So hence. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So hence. Right. Okay. Never mind. Those who have missed, you have not. Lots of points. So now if sin theta minus cos theta is zero, then the value of sin square. This was very, very simple question. I don't know why did you make mistake? So yes, I know. Wait, anyone else wants to explain this question? Anyone? Who's can I first? Can I was? Shaduli. Yes, sir. Okay. Shaduli, go ahead. Okay. So, um, we know sine 45 is one by root two and cost 45 is also one by root two. So one, so sine 45 is equal to cost 45. So theta like, so it's one by root two. So sine, uh, so one by root two raised to the power four is one by four. Plus again, one by four is two by four, which is one by two. Okay. So very good. So you are saying you, you are going in the reverse, this thing. Yeah. So cause sin theta minus cost theta is zero only when theta is 45. Can sin theta and cost theta zero also in other case, can there be another possibly another possible value of theta where sin theta and cost theta zero 135. Yes. 135. So hence, you know, uh, Shaduli, uh, the, you know, best method, best, yes, there is 135 degree. No, not 135. Sorry. Who said 135? That's wrong. Now, sin theta minus cost theta is equal to zero and not at 135, 135, 225. Yes. 225. Right. It will be in third quadrant, 225 degree, 225 degrees also. So hence, don't go by deputation of values over there. Instead of that, anyone else has any other method? So, but value of 225 will also be one by root two, right? That's okay. But I'm saying, but there are so many theta values where you will get sin theta minus cost theta is zero. For example, 360 plus 45, that is four, not five degree. Again, it will be zero. Then add four, not five and 180 to eight. So 225 plus 360 sin theta minus cost theta will again be zero. There are lots of values of theta where sin theta minus cost theta is zero. Okay. So anyone has any other method? Ariane, Tandon. Go ahead. Go ahead. Sir, in the given equation, will square both sides, sir? No. No, no, no, don't square. Squaring leads to loss of roots. So, Aselesha, what I was saying is there are lots of values of theta where sin theta minus cost theta is zero, right? Lots of values of theta. What, what values? So here is 45 degrees. So here definitely one. And then you come full circle again. Again, it will be zero. You come full circle again. Again, it will be zero. So lots of thetas are there. So don't put, don't solve these kind of questions by deploying values in, in a, in a, in a comparative exam, please do whatever some dumb done the way you can apply to solve. But then we are here to build the concept. And the formal way of doing it would be that can I say sin theta is equal to cost theta, guys? Yes, sir. And then sin theta by cost theta is 1. So sin theta divided by cost theta is 1. So tan theta is 1. So tan theta is 1. So tan 45 is 1. Now let's say I don't want to get into this degree theory stuff at all. You know, I don't want to get into numbers. Can I still solve it? That's the catch. Can I still solve it? Can I still solve it? No, you can divide it by cost to the power 4 theta. So I will get a cost 4 anyways in the numerator. Yes, squaring is okay, but then I will try to avoid it. Can I, you know, if tan theta is 1, can I find the value of sin square theta, sin 4 theta plus cost per theta? Look, without going into the value system. Okay, then, okay. So you are saying divide the whole thing by cost 4 theta. So sin 4 theta divided by cost 4 theta plus 1. But then I will also have one cost 4 theta here, is it it? So you will get tan 4 theta plus 1 into cost 4 theta. Now what do we do? Sir? Yes. Sir, can you say that if tan theta is 1, tan square theta minus tan square theta is equal to 1. Very good. So you can say x square theta is 2. So then sin, then root of that will become 1 by root 2 and then you can substitute that. Very good, very good. So hence, the next step will be here. So what I'll do is tan 4 anyways, I know tan kawaliu is 1. So 1 plus 1, right? 1 to the power 4 is 1 plus 1. Cost 4, can I not write it as 1 upon secant 4, right? And then it is 2 into 1 upon secant is, right, secant square, secant square, square. Can I write like that? Can I write like that? Then this is 2 into 1 upon secant square is 1 plus tan square theta square is in t, right? So hence, what is, since we see this is 2 into 1 upon 1 plus 1 whole square, right? Because tan square, tan was 1. So hence it is 2 into 1 upon 4, which is 1 upon 2. I never got only into this theta business, what is the value and all that. You can definitely do it, but there is another way of finding the same thing without getting into the business off. What if tan theta was not 1 and something else? Let's say, you know, sin theta minus cos theta, if I would have, instead of giving you 0, if let's say I would have given you this, that sin theta, sin theta minus cos theta is let's say 0.5, okay? Could be possible, right? Sin theta minus cos theta is 0.5, then what will you do? Then becomes very difficult to solve or instead of that, let's say this is anyway difficult for, at this level, what I'm saying is, let's say if I would have given you sin theta minus 0.5 sin theta is equal to 0. This kind of a relation, if I would have given you, then how would you solve it? So then you again come like that, sin theta is equal to 0.5 cos theta and then divide by sin theta by cos theta is equal to half. Now here is again, thankfully it is half so you know, no, but then this is tan theta. So tan theta is half, you don't know the value of the angle. So how will you solve it? Is it impossible to solve now? Why are we making it difficult, madam? We are making it difficult because life is going to be difficult later on. So hence, in the question, you will get 0.5 and the heaven will come crashing down. So hence, be ready for all the different approaches of the same problem. So let's say tomorrow in the exam you are getting this instead of sin theta minus cos theta. So learn varieties, how to attempt and solve such problems also. Is that clear? Give me thumbs up. If all of you are clear on this, there are a few harder questions which we could not do today. Never mind. It is first centymar of ours. So later on again we'll proceed. We'll spend one more. So be ready with all your basics. Next centymar in maths is going to be level two. So today it is a warming up session. Next session will be difficult one. So hence, your average number of questions solved per hour will go down. So come prepared guys. So the result of today is this thing. As a first this thing, I am pardoning all of you. So I am deleting this minus five thingy. So don't do this mistake again. So minus five is gone. This minus five is three. So this minus five is one.  So who is the winner? So I have Pranav.  I deleted your plus two. So let's say Rn is three now. Okay. So first one Pranav. Bold. Okay. Second. Who is there? I can see Sanjeev is there. Okay. Very good. Keep it up. Then we have fourth place Akshit. Akshit is there. Akshit is there. And then we have Laksh there. Okay. These are joint third and lots of three. So Surya is three. Aditya K is three. Then we have Aditi B. Pajaj is three. Rn also three. But you have got a bonus. Okay. Right. Okay, guys. Bye. So, okay. So hence, can you repeat 14? Yes, I will.  14. I have not touched 14. Sai Rishita, I have not touched 14 or 13. Okay. Yes. Here it is. So it is given that sine theta minus cos theta is zero. So let me explain. Sine theta minus cos theta is zero. Right. So I can say sine theta is equal to cos theta. Right. So that means tan theta is equal to one. Why? Because this can be written as sine theta upon cos theta is equal to one. Right. What happened? Yep. Okay. Okay. Okay. Bye. Who's who asked this question? I lost the message only asked from Rishita. Okay. Yep. Rishita. Okay. Now, so if tan theta is one here, then one attempt was that tan theta is equal to tan 45 because tan 45 is one. Okay. So in your grade, you can do that. So theta is 45 degrees. So now if theta is 45, then put sine four and cos four question was find the value of sine four theta plus cos four theta. So put the values cos of 45 degrees four plus sine of 45 degrees to the power four. Now cos 45 is one by root two. So one by root two to the power four plus one by root two to the power four will be equal to one by two plus one by two. Is it? Sorry. One by four plus one by four. Sorry. One by four plus one by four and this will be one by two. Rishita. Is this clear? Is this clear? Rishita. Just respond. Yep. Anyone? Anyone else? Anyone else? Anyone else? Anyone else? Any other question? Please stay back. Any other doubt? Anything? Please clarify. Okay. Please clarify. Okay. Can you explain the other method to one with secant? Yeah. So hence, other method was I am not going into this. I will start from tan theta is equal to one. Okay. So secant square theta will be what? One plus tan square theta by the identity which we have learned. So this will be two because tan theta was one. Isn't it? Secant square theta is equal to one plus tan square theta and tan square was one. So two. So that means I have to find out. I have to find out sine four theta plus cos to the power four theta. Many people said sir divide and multiply by cos four theta. So I multiply by cos four and divide by cos four. So it will become sine four theta upon cos four theta plus one. Right. So now I can say cos to the power four theta is one upon secant to the power four theta.  So the answer for the sine theta minus cos theta is half. Yes. You can find that out. No problem. Now you know the method. So one by secant four is can be written as secant square theta whole square and tan four theta will be nothing but tan theta to the power four. No plus one. Now this is one upon secant square. Secant square value was two. So I can write this two squared. Okay. And this was nothing but one plus one because tan was tan theta was one. So one to the power four is one. Then plus one is so hence it is one upon four into two. So half. Got it. Yes. Any other question guys? Any other question? Okay. Any other question? No. So then we'll stop here and thanks for coming to this session. Next centaur as I told you will be level two. So don't get disheartened if you score very less. It is deliberately made difficult. So hence let's see how do you fare. Take time but do well. Right. So that will be level two guys. Okay. Come prepared. Bye. Take care. What is please. Sir, could you repeat that thing? Whatever you said about tomorrow's session. I just logged out by mistake. Tomorrow's session. There is nothing tomorrow. Day after no day after will be some other subject. Whenever the next centaur is for you it will be level two. Level two of trigonometry. So today was level one. Now we'll step up and we'll go to level two. We'll go to level two. Okay guys. Bye. Take care. Bye. Bye sir. Bye. Take care.


So, after we've looked at the interior and the head group region, I really want to stress my main love story, that the interface region here. The interior part is super important. That's the reason why I have the entire barrier, but the pure hydrophobic region there also makes it surprisingly boring. Head up here when we have water, yeah, that's fine, but that's going to be like globular proteins. The really fascinating part is the small region here where we can kind of do both. So this is an amphiphatic region, meaning that it can be either polar or hydrophobic. So it's amphiphatic. And that means that almost all these concepts we brought up happen there. We have the anchoring, anchoring, anchoring of aromatic compounds happening there. We have the snorkeling. We have the anti snorkeling. And we have this surface helices. Remember, if the helix itself is amphiphatic, it would have to lie down and then it's going to be present in this region. So this region is frequently the most interesting in proteins because we can go either down or up depending on the amino acid.


By now you all know that my name is Sampak Nin and that I'm the author of Malignan self-love narcissism revisited So why should I repeat it every video? Let's get to the point today. We're going to discuss two misunderstood concepts One is empath and the other is gaslighting self-declared self-styled and self-imputed empaths are actually narcissistic individuals What do they do online? They trumpet their alleged hypersensitivity as a grandiose claim to uniqueness and to victimhood. They are unique They are perpetual victims Empath, by the way, is a nonsense label Hyped online but with zero clinical significance It is not taught in any university and mentioned in very few scholarly articles usually in a derisive way You see the problem is that everyone is possessed of empathy Even narcissists and psychopaths have empathy. Well, a type of empathy, a form of empathy, which I dubbed called empathy Everyone has empathy and in this sense, of course, everyone is an empath.  They are not a dime, a dozen Highly sensitive persons are not online. They are very unlikely to expose themselves in cyberspace They tend to be inordinately shy, introverted, schizoid and avoidant They are recluses. They avoid the world because the world is painful They want away from the madding crowd They're not likely to join giant online communities and sort of expose themselves to ridicule and criticism to other people's pains and other people's emotions They're likely to shy away Many of them don't have an online presence at all So if you see someone who claims to be an empath online the likelihood is, the very high likelihood is that this person is actually seeking attention is grandiose and it descends technically is a narcissist HSP, highly sensitive person, is not to be confused with the neurological condition known as sensory processing sensitivity These are people who get floated by sensor, sensory inputs, smells, sounds, sights These overwhelm them and they lose control And so the online forums where self-styled empaths congregate the watering holes of online empaths, self-imputed empaths These are cesspools. I've been visiting them for years They are full of malice, dis-empathy, lack of empathy One upmanship, spite, evil and delusional fantasies, competitive professional victimhood Online forums of empaths far exceed online forums of narcissists In terms of the concentrated vibe of, for lack of a better word, malice Based on anecdotal observations only, most empaths strike me as collapsed or covert narcissists who had been out-narcissized, who have been manipulated and abused by overt narcissists These are two types of narcissists competing with each other One group of narcissists style themselves victims and empaths and attack and fight against the other groups of narcissists, the other group of narcissists which are overtly and openly grandiose Their self-imputed sensitivity or hypersensitivity is merely a manifestation of narcissistic rage following a series of narcissistic injuries Hypersensitivity is not to be confused with hypervigilance Hypervigilance is when the narcissist scans his human environment for alleged slides or stensible insults challenges to his grandiosity, to his self-perception and self-image It's perfect, brilliant, godlike, divine, omniscient and omnipotent Hypersensitivity is something completely different It's when you can't cross the street without being overwhelmed and inundated with other people's agony, existential agony, angst and anxieties and fears and emotions This happens to extremely few people, it's a pathological condition Same thing is happening with gaslighting Gaslighting, at least the videos I've watched online made it my business to watch most of them They're nonsensical, why are they nonsensical? Because gaslighting is often confused and conflated with dissociation, with confabulation and with disannounces I should have foreseen that this is going to happen When I borrowed the term gaslighting and introduced it into the wider discourse in the 1990s I coined the term narcissistic abuse and was trying to kind of display or explore the varieties of narcissistic abuse So I borrowed the term gaslighting And this is where it all ended Gaslighting has only one meaning, it is deliberate It's a deliberate strategy, premeditated strategy Of impairing, adversely affecting the reality test of another person, the victim Rendering that person dependent on the gaslighter, on the abuser, for critical cognitive functions So the victim's judgment is impaired, the victim's perception of reality, the victim's trust in herself All these are repeatedly undermined, subverted, maliciously so So the victim becomes dependent on the abuser And this is done usually in order to assert control and for personal gain of some kind Gaslighting is therefore a psychopathic tactic, not a narcissistic work Narcissists rarely engage in gaslighting, psychopaths do Narcissists are a series of other problems which closely mimic gaslighting but are not gaslighting The first one is dissociation, narcissists dissociate, they're discontinuous Dissociation is a persistent amnesiac, a series of persistent amnesia gaps in memory And when you have these repeated gaps in memory, this results in an incoherent and discontinuous sense of self and identity It also generates inconsistent or contradictory thoughts, emotions and behaviors of the same individual usually within a short period of time It can be perceived as gaslighting, but it is not Confabulation is how the narcissist copes with dissociation Confabulation is writing fiction, short stories It's an incoherent attempt to create plausible, though often untrue narratives to bridge over dissociative threatening memory gaps Narcissists says, well I don't remember what had happened but knowing myself, knowing the environment, knowing the circumstances, this is what could have happened It is so plausible that it had happened that actually I believe it did happen You see, narcissists believe in their confabulations, they are not lying when they confabulate Again, it looks like gaslighting, there is nothing to do with gaslighting Narcissists desperate attempt to restore continuity, to introduce some glue into the disjointed parts of his personality And finally there is dissonance, everyone has dissonances A dissonance is when you hold two mutually exclusive and contradictory thoughts, emotions and beliefs at the same time So for example, you love someone and you hate him It's called ambivalence, emotional ambivalence, love-hate relationships, very common You have two thoughts, they conflict, they can't sit well together, this creates dissonance A sense of an ease, if this continues, creates anxiety But people can and do display inconsistent behavior People change course, people surprise you and surprise themselves People do things they never thought they could do It all depends on so many factors And dissonance is very common They are the main source, the main engine of anxiety But they have nothing to do with gaslighting Belatedly I'm trying to introduce some clarity into a field crowded with charlatans, wannabes Unstrapulous therapies and mental health practitioners who capitalize on ignorance And healthlessness and fear It's a swamp out there We need Donald Trump to clean it Not me, I don't have orange hair here Orange hair is the main qualification Thank you for listening, talk to you next time


Welcome to Paranormality Magazine. Each week, Paranormality Magazine explores all 40 subjects from phantoms to UFOs and every cryptid creature in between. Each week, you are treated to a collection of well-researched and investigated stories, interviews and reports on cutting-edge paranormal projects and topics they know you crave. And here in the podcast, I share stories from the magazine to give you just a taste of what you receive in every issue. I'm Darren Marlar and this is Paranormality Magazine. On the face of it, Ronnie Cancella seems like just another regular guy. That is, until you learn what happened to him. Then, you see how extraordinary he really is. You see, Ronald Cancella believes that he has been abducted by aliens. Unusually, he remembers his experience. But Kayla Ford from Paranormality Magazine brings us the story. Ronald is a twin. He and his identical twin brother, Philip, were born and raised in Lutton, very near to the Lutton Town Football Club grounds. Hazelbury Crescent, where they lived in 1982, the time of the abduction, was a regular street, filled with large Victorian houses backing onto an old railway line in the concrete jungle of Lutton's suburbia. Ronnie looks back on it as an idealic time. He was 13 years old, playing out with his brother, getting into the type of mischief kids did in the 80s, exploring derelict factories, setting fire to aerosol cans, building dens and climbing trees. Ronnie wistfully mentions that if there is a heaven, I would like to live in Lutton back in 1982 as a child, forever. Perhaps poignantly because it was just after this time that Ronnie's world changed forever. The incident occurred on a cold, dark winter's night, an ideal night in the world of horror films and tales of murder, fitting then for the events which began to unfold on that fateful night. Ronnie remembers going to bed as usual. He was asleep in the bedroom that he shared with Philip when he was rudely awakened by the sensation of being lifted upwards by some unseen force. He rose up through his bedroom ceiling, through the loft and out through the roof of his house. He remembers this with clarity. There was no sense of cold as he rose at speed toward an incredibly large object indistinguishable to him at the time of the event. Within the blink of an eye, I was in the thing. It took a moment for me to gauge my surroundings because I was evidently in shock to realize I was in some kind of medical environment. I quickly discerned I was seated within a very modern-looking wheelchair and that I was partially paralyzed. I could move to a degree but could not turn or stand. I think my arms were also paralyzed. The wheelchair was white and I believe the surroundings may have been of similar hue, though I can't for the life of me determine that part. He says that to the side of the chair was a small medical utensil rack and to the left the room appeared curved and squat. He has no recollection of the other side of the room. Ahead of him were three figures stood in front of an operating table. He became convinced that some kind of medical operation was imminent. He described the figures as seeming to be like human men at first glance, but on further inspection there were market differences. In his book about the experience, The Digital Demon, he writes, I realized they appeared to be much taller than us, with the added peculiarity of being totally covered. Holy, the bizarre costumes they wore reminiscent to the World War gas masks and ultra-modern radiation suits were familiar with indicated either biological caution on their behalf or the fact of concealing difference. Reflecting on this now, I did state that even our current neurologists performing the most sensitive of operations do not require such get-up, so the hypothesis as to why might well ring true in either protection from germs or just simply masking disparities. I think they were white, though memory of this is vague at best and I will not color the particulars. Ray could feel a fourth figure just behind him, but try as he might, Ronnie could not manage to turn around to see him.  The voice was authoritative, clear-cut and distinctly British. It was a voice that expected to be obeyed. Ronnie says there was no malice to the voice, but it was a tone which brooked no argument. Ronnie began to sob, pleading the figure not to operate on him. The reply was not what he wanted to hear. No, it has to be done, he resounded. It is for your own good and I promise you, we shall not harm you. We shall not harm you. Ronnie believed the figure and sat still as he leaned over to take a utensil from the rack. Ronnie remembers feeling the pressure of him pressing against his back as he reached forward. The doctor figure then picked up Ronnie's left arm and pressed the utensil against his upper left hand. It was a silver rod with another thinner pole jutting from it, ending in a small sphere. As the sphere made contact with his skin, everything went black. The next thing Ronnie knew, he was hurtling back toward the roof of his house. He felt a noticeable static charge running through his body in waves. Every hair he possessed seemed to be standing on end all over as if electrified. Slipping back through the loft, he descended past the bedroom ceiling and landed with a small bump on the mattress of his bed. Ronnie says that it was this small bumping sensation that was especially horrible as if being entirely manipulated by the being in the craft totally controlled and helpless. Once the static feeling subsided, Ronnie lay cold and terrified on his bed, trying to make sense of what had happened. However, the night-time visitors had not finished with Ronnie just yet. Ronnie explains, A hologram which I knew was fabricated by them by some electronic method was projected onto the ceiling of the bedroom and this clever mirage was a sight to behold. It took the form of a huge, chest-shire cat, headshot only, which wavered within an electric blue hue, the trembling of its mass skillfully adding a sense of motion to the horrific apparition. He was grinning down at me, this monster of a thing, and put the original concept to shame. This thing was ugly, totally ugly.  It lasted perhaps just a few minutes, but those minutes seemed like forever as I merely gopped up at the terrifying and baffling conclusion. The mirage swiftly faded, leaving only darkness and fear. Apart from twin brother Philip, Ronnie did not tell anyone else about his experience for the next 40 years. For the next few months after the event, Ronnie remembers piling things up against his bedroom door every night in a futile attempt to keep out his alien visitors. I suffered in silence back then, after the snatching and thereafter for a time propping old hardback books up against the door at night, along with a broken guitar to make a racket should anything untoward enter. Ironic that these futile measures were vital to me considering they took me through the roof. Perhaps it was an added degree of caution, along with myself stuffing books up my back while I slept. Don't ask me why I did this, I just did.  Ronnie has not seen the visitors since, although he has had many experiences of seeing UAPs. Interestingly, his twin brother Philip had his own experience seven years later in 1989 with figures which resembled the grays. He finds it interesting that Philip's experience was exactly seven years later when he and his brother were born exactly seven minutes apart. Coincidence or synchronicity? Since his life-changing experience, Ronnie has tried to make sense of what happened to him. One conclusion he has come to is that the Sheshire cat hologram was probably an attempt to mask the abduction in his memory. It was a clever insurance policy on their part, conjured by them to add a kind of sting in the tail as far as I was concerned. When I visited a psychologist back then to explain the bizarre encounter, they would have merely told me it was based on a fantasy that the cat was nothing more than the residue of Alice in Wonderland with the doctors preceding him, perhaps a fear of hospitals. The cat would have spearheaded a logical approach with the psychologist concluding as much. Nowadays, Ronnie spends his time writing books about his experience and researching theories as to what might be at the center of these types of abductions. I get the sense that he will always be searching for an answer, no matter how long it takes.  Many of the images and figures are breathtakingly detailed and imposing. One gets the feeling that Ronnie needs this outlet in order to make sense of this incredibly harrowing experience from his youth. He comes across as a sincere man. He says he is a person of honesty and integrity. He believes wholeheartedly that this happened to him. If all these things are true, then what does this mean for the future of our world? Should we be excited or terrified? These art can be seen on his website at theconcellatwins.com. His latest book, The Digital Demon Countdown to Disaster, is available at all good online bookstores. Are some areas just plain old cursed? When looking for a good old-fashioned paranormal investigation, people tend to think of the big names like Alcatraz, Hotel del Coronado, and Eastern State Penitentiary. But what about all the space in between? What is some of our most haunted areas are little more than wide spots on the road? Billy White looks into the haunting legacy of Verden, uncovering paranormal secrets in a forgotten village. One of these areas is the village of Verden, as it is now called, right on the southeastern corners of New Mexico and Arizona. Originally called Richmond, this town was first owned by the New Mexico Mining Company. As Richmond, the area functioned as a mining camp for a local silver mine. In 1916, Richmond was sold to Mormons as Mormon polygamists were returning to the United States from colonies in Mexico. A grandmother's parents were in this small group of Mormons who came to New Mexico from the colonies in Chihuahua. When you visit today, the former Mormon Church is the largest building in town, as the town never became more than a small farming community. The church now houses the village's library and is a sort of convention center that can be rented out by families for reunions and other events. My family has rented out the old church, which sits across the street from my grandmother's childhood home many times for reunions. You would think that a church would be a safe zone or free from paranormal activity. Maybe it was the old church or maybe something else that happened there years ago, but that building was full of strange activity. The most common paranormal events in the old church were the playing of the old piano and doors slamming throughout the downstairs area. Since the building has been used as a sort of family reunion air B&B for large groups, all the former rooms and offices, aside from the chapel, have been converted into bedrooms and shower facilities were built outside of the building. Most of the rooms hold one or two beds, aside from the old children's Sunday school room, which is set up as more of a dormitory with many beds. The downstairs held the most desirable sleeping rooms because these were the only ones where central air conditioning was ever installed. However, once you were downstairs, you were fairly removed from the large gathering room which held the piano and the old church entrance. Like most Mormon churches, the old Virden church had what is referred to as a cultural hall, which is basically a large gym slash gathering area with a basketball court, a stage, and a piano. The cultural hall connects to the old kitchen with doors leading to the old hallway separating it from the old chapel. The piano in the cultural hall is old and out of tune, its notes very distinctive and easy to identify. One night, back in the early 2000s, as my siblings and I sat in one of the downstairs air conditioned rooms, we clearly heard the piano start to play up above us. At that time we were the only ones, or we thought we were the only ones in the building. Unlike to say that we raced up the stairs and into the cultural hall, but we slowly approached the upstairs area since all the lights were out. We noticed that all of the lights remained out as we went. The cultural hall was completely dark. When we neared the hall, the music stopped, but we did not hear anyone walking around the area or leaving the piano. When we entered the cultural hall, we saw that the room was empty and dark. We searched the church, but we found no one in the building. Since the old church building also likes to slam doors in areas where no one is around, it could be easy to dismiss these experiences as issues with the air conditioning or ventilation system. Also, being part of a huge extended family, it is possible that while we believed that we were the only ones in the building, there could have been a young cousin who was playing a trick on us to get a reaction. Verden never became any sort of real town, it never had a true grocery store, and the school closed in the mid-1900s. Today only a couple of hundred people live in Verden. However, those of us who have descended from some of the original founders of the small colony remember some of the old ghost stories about the old house and the cursed feeling of the area in general, and it seems that not all of its stories are about traditional ghosts. Typically, when you think of the paranormal or supernatural, you tend to think of the usual hauntings, ghosts, holtergeists, maybe even an occasional demon or two. However, sometimes an entire family can be haunted by something tangible, a being that can be found buried in an attic years after the children who remember its terror have grown up. This story comes from my grandmother, a very down-to-earth woman who was raised in an extremely devout and religious family. If you asked her if she were superstitious, she would have denied it, although her skepticism regarding the paranormal only went so far. My grandmother firmly believed that there were multiple presences located in the house where she grew up in Verden. Most of the stories that she told about the old house in Verden were the fairly typical paranormal haunted house story featuring lights turning on and off, phantom knocking, and voices in the other room, but there was a presence that was different from anything in the traditional paranormal guidebook. My grandmother's version of the story always began at the end. She started the story with the gathering of the siblings to clean out the attic in the old house. This old house was an old adobe that had been constructed by their father back at the turn of the century when her family returned to the United States after living in the Mormon colonies down in Mexico. My grandmother's father constructed two houses, the old adobe for his first wife, my grandmother's family, and a house a few doors down in the village of Verden for his other wife. The old house wasn't the main house for long, and it wasn't the house that my great-grandparents spent their remaining years in. After the construction of the new house with modern amenities like running water and plumbing, the old house became a sort of storage unit. After the deaths of both of her parents, my grandmother and her sisters were working together in the old house to clean out some of the items that had been collected over the years. At one point, one of the sisters cried out and exclaimed, Oh my Lord, he is real. The other sisters gathered around her to see what she had found. My grandmother's sister was holding in her hand a small doll who was dressed in traditional cowboy clothing. He wore blue jeans and a plaid shirt. He had a small hat and a red scarf around his neck as the sisters stood there together. They looked at each other and finally one of them spoke up and said, You mean you saw him too? After this discovery, the sisters took a few minutes to sit together and have a very long overdue talk. What they discovered was that each of them remembered the same man, one that was identical to the doll found in the attic, visiting their room when they were children. As the sisters were growing up, they shared one bedroom. All of the sisters distinctly recalled that while they were sleeping, this small man would crawl through their open window and creep across the beds to the water bucket that was across the room. They would then hear the small ladle scrape the edge of the bucket as the man drew water and took a drink. Finally, he would cross back to the window across their beds and he would leave the room. Each of them was sure that they had to be dreaming it and so they never mentioned it to the others. It was only as older women when they were going through their parents' things did they find that every sister had the same exact memory. Memory is a funny thing. It is quite possible that this story was told to the sisters when they were growing up. Maybe they had all just felt that the doll was slightly creepy and created a story around it. However, as devoutly religious and level-headed as my grandmother and Oliver's siblings were, the older generation later refused to sleep in the old house when they would visit their parents. They had no qualms about putting the younger generation, my father and his siblings, in the old homestead even if they wouldn't step through the building's doors. Today, no one really visits Bearden unless they are returning as descendants of the early families. Is the irrepressence that seems to hover over the little river valley just left over family ghost stories? Is there a deeper reason than regular child mortality rates that Bearden still has a very unusual ratio of young graves in its small graveyard? Are some of the most haunted places the ones that hardly see visitors? Maybe the next time you take a ghost-hunting road trip, look for a village or hamlet and check it out for yourself.

I spent 30 plus years in a funk so deep there are large chunks of my life I simply don't remember. At times it was just a feeling of sadness and impending doom. I thought of ways out many times. I finally got tired of barely being alive. I talked to a doctor and began taking antidepressants. Now I rarely get depressed or stressed and I no longer find myself not dreading tomorrow. This is why our Overcoming the Darkness campaign is so important. It supports organizations that help people who struggle with depression so that they too can start looking forward to tomorrow instead of dreading today. Please donate today, right now if you can. Go to WeirdDarkness.com Overcoming We've all had friends or family members suffer an extreme trauma, be it an accident, death in the family, loss of a job, house fire. But what happens if that friend or family member just suffered something paranormal? How do you support that person? Rebecca Montiel wrote an article for Paranormality magazine and she gives us her thoughts on the subject. Maybe you've noticed your friend acting a little differently. For the past few months the joy has left their eyes and they say they haven't been sleeping well. When you press them for answers they decline to offer any more details and maybe mumble something about not believing them. Their relationship is fine, no, they aren't fighting, their family is healthy and so far work has been okay. But you know there is something going on. Then one day they can't keep it inside anymore. They ask for your audience and start to tell you about how every night a dark visitor enters their room. They can't move, they can hardly breathe due to the pressure on their chest and they have never been more terrified. But when you ask about the stranger in their room there is a mix of hesitation and embarrassment. You see the person is an intangible shadowy figure that whispers terrible things into their ears and the worst part is they can't move or scream, they just have to stay and listen in fear. Are they talking about a ghost? Does my friend believe they are being haunted? Yes, they do. When we think of hauntings and paranormal experiences one may recall the latest thriller movie or no sleep podcast episode, something made of fiction, Q the X-Files theme song. There is no such thing as ghosts, is stated in a way to calm your friend's emotions. But is there a better way to express support for your friend? In order to be more sympathetic to our friends and family who are dealing with this situation we should first look at what a paranormal experience is and why it can be considered a traumatic event. Dictionary.com defines paranormal as, quote, of or relating to the claimed occurrence of an event or perception without scientific explanation as psychokinesis, extrasensory perception, or other purportedly supernatural phenomena, unquote. In short, it is an experience one cannot explain away. It is a tale as old as time, being afraid of the unknown. And unless a person has put themselves in a situation to have an experience, such as a guided ghost tour or a past life regression, the experience and or intrusion was not an act of consent on the experiencer's part. This leaves the experiencer or victim to have to deal with the after effects of the events on their own. Often the victim is left wondering if what they witnessed is a side effect of a mental illness or perhaps their sanity is in jeopardy. The risk of ridicule from friends and family is also something they have to consider. Growing up I was taught there was no such thing as ghosts. In fact, the paranormal was nothing that we addressed as a family and I didn't know how to express myself when I had an experience of my own as a child. I kept my experience to myself, only revealing it to my younger sister, and never spoke of it as an adult until I was well into my 30s. Although this experience led me to a deep love of the unknown, I was left feeling I had to learn how to deal with this situation on my own. It was hard to process. I didn't know if I could trust my mind and the fear of not being believed was hard for me. In the two years of being a podcaster about paranormal experiences, the resounding reasons as to why someone is exposing their private and sometimes traumatic stories is to have some sort of explanation for what had happened, finding someone who can relate and getting closure. They share their stories with other experiencers in the hope of finding support from someone who will believe them, perhaps because they have been rejected already by their friends and family. This situation can be particularly difficult for people who come from strong religious backgrounds where discussion of paranormal activity can be forbidden and the risk of punishment or expulsion is on the table. This makes the importance of supporting a loved one as they process the situation even more important. They have heard for years already that what has happened to them is not possible and can't exist, therefore their traumatic experience is invalid before they can even get a word out. When my sister and I started our show, we had two rules. The first rule was that we believed every story and the second rule was to never debunk the experience. The paranormal leaves little to no evidence, which is something humans strive for but can be impossible to prove. So why should we make someone prove their trauma? You don't. If someone has come to you with a deep, dark secret they never thought they would tell anyone, they already know the risk of not being believed is inevitable. I'll offer a few tips on how to support your loved one while they are processing their experience. Be a good listener. It takes a lot of courage to speak out about a traumatic or scary event, so the best thing a supportive friend can do is listen with an open heart. Allow their story to unfold and withhold any urge to interrupt or impose a solution. This is not the time to insert any sarcastic or comedic relief. Wait for the speaker to pause before asking any clarifying questions. Thank them for sharing their story and express your support. Try to keep your skepticism at bay. Even if you cannot get behind the thought of ghosts or aliens or Bigfoot, you can understand that a situation has caused a lot of fear and anxiety for them. Keep in mind that no one is asking you to change your beliefs, they are only asking you to believe them. Try to put your judgment and beliefs aside and consider what your loved one is saying. This isn't just about your friend or family member talking about something you don't believe in. This is an event that has caused them to have an emotional response. And now ask yourself, do you have to find a scientific explanation? No. This type of service tends to mock the situation. Unless your friend is asking what you think it is, I think it is best to keep a skeptical comment to yourself. 1. Take cues about what your friend wants. So what can you do from there? It depends on what the experiencer is looking for.  Validation that what they experienced happened can be cathartic in itself. Telling your loved one that you believe them may be all they hoped for. Resources to recommend. 2. If a matter of mental health is in question among the experiencer, it is always in the best interest of anyone to have a medical exam. This topic can be delicate and difficult to bring up, but ruling out any possible medical concerns is always a good place to start. In the long run, it may bring peace of mind that it is not a mental health issue. But if your friend is still looking for answers, giving advice about the paranormal can be difficult due to the lack of seriousness we as the masses give to paranormal research. But it is out there. Encourage them to research until they get answers that satisfy their needs. Fortunately, it appears, thanks to the current spiritual movement and gained curiosity into the paranormal, there are lots of people and organizations willing to help people who are going through this type of trauma. If modern therapy and medicine do not yield satisfactory results, perhaps a medium or psychic intervention is the next step or the first one. What would a paranormal podcast be without talking about exorcisms? Paranormality magazine in the May 2023 issue brought us an article entitled Terrifyingly True Tales of Exorcisms Around the World. Exorcism is synonymous with a cult classic horror movie and the actress Linda Blair. Clear visions of 13-year-old Reagan McNeill standing at the foot of the stairs in a white tea-length nightgown with a far away look in her eyes peeing on the floor have been burned into the frontal cortex of our brains. It has become the calling card for what to expect during an exorcism. But let's look at a few other examples of what an exorcism might look like. We'll span the globe from London to Florida to South Africa to better understand what happens when a solo life experience suddenly becomes a horrifying tandem nightmare. An exorcism not to be confused with exercise is, as Miriam Webster defines it, the act or practice of exorcising. The Encyclopedia Britannica says exorcism is an adoration addressed to evil spirits to force them to abandon a person, place, or thing. Finally, the Conference of Catholic Bishops says an exorcism is a specific form of prayer that the Church uses against the power of the devil. Much can be said about the Catholic Church, but one thing is for sure, their doctrine is clear and they rarely mince words. From Jesus to Shakespeare, the rite of exorcism has been a part of our global culture for thousands of years. In the Gospel of Mark, written around AD 70, Jesus used the practice of exorcism to cast out evil spirits all over Galilee. Shakespeare also engaged in the art of exorcism, although in a slightly less impressive way, referencing the rite in his works King Lear and the 12th Night. However, the practice of exorcism is not reserved only for those with Biblical prowess. One of the earliest stories of this exotic art includes a man by the name of George Lukens. George was an English tailor who suddenly began singing hymns backwards, speaking in mysterious voices and making inhuman noises. For me, it wouldn't take much more than a few pints to engage in his behavior, but for George, it was a fate much worse than mere drunkenness alone that defined his story. His is one of the strangest cases of demonic possession ever recorded. On May 31, 1778, Susan, a parishioner, approached an Anglican vicar in Bristol, England with the story of a man, George Lukens, who had what she called an unexplained condition. Explaining an exorcism using the term condition at any time in history would be like referring to a foot amputation as an ingrown toenail. Susan stated that George, a man in his 40s, was having fits of singing loudly and was hurling abusive language at the men and women in his company. With great concern, she said that while George was exhibiting the strange behavior, he seemed to be in a state of trance. After 18 months in a London hospital, George's condition continued. The villagers' tongues were wagging and he was soon labeled possessed. The only possible explanation offered by George was that it might have something to do with what happened during a performance with the mummers one Christmas. He was walking through town, drunk, and felt a slap so hard it rendered him unconscious. It was then that the bizarre twitching and barking behavior started. As priests and reverends gathered around barking George, they all agreed he was a genuine case of demonic possession. Seven holy men were summoned to cast out each of the seven demons that apparently dwelled within him. Also, in attendance was a local reporter just to set the record straight. Let no man say there is anything more potent than the press. While George sang a backward version of Tatyum, the priests shook holy water on him and commanded the evil spirits to leave his body, repeating, in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. And just like that, the curse was lifted, the possession was over, and life for George returned to normal. Gatsleben Didis is another victim of involuntary shouting and movements. In 1842, 28-year-old Didis described her house as being haunted. Unlike some of the other early exorcism stories which could easily be explained as having a mental disorder like schizophrenia or Tourette's syndrome, the story of Didis offers us a slightly more graphic vibe. Plus, this tale starts inside an alleged haunted house, so my paranormal radar is up and engaged. In short order, Didis would slip in and out of a trance-like state and her actions would become more violent in the presence of a man of the cloth. Specifically, Didis would bring down the house with her erratic behavior if a priest came bearing tidings of an exorcism. For two years, she was strapped to a chair, vomiting glass, nails, and blood. Didis and the dutiful priest worked together, continuing to try and purify her body. In the end, teamwork makes dream work, as they say, and finally a comment was made by the devil in a white dress herself, Jesus is the victor, she declared, and the devil was never seen again, at least not beneath the strange and complicated roof of Didis. The next story captures my heart and my attention. It has all the makings of a true paranormal phenomenon, and it happened to a girl who was the same age as my daughter. The year is 1906, and Clara Germonacelle is a 16-year-old girl attending Michael's Mission Christian School in Natal, South Africa. For no good reason, impulse took hold of poor Clara, and she decided to make a pact with the devil. Having raised many teens myself, I can certainly understand this level of impulsivity. Before too long, Clara was speaking in tongues and began performing feats of superhuman strength. She became enraged by religious artifacts and mastered multiple unknown languages. One of the most disturbing details of Clara's experience was her ability to levitate. In front of 170 people, Clara levitated no less than five feet off the ground. Many people in the village, including two nuns, reported the incident. Psychic powers were also part of the supernatural buffet that was once known as Clara. She had intimate knowledge of the thoughts of people around her, as well as a clear understanding of their personal history. When it comes to the possession of Clara Germonacelle, it is painfully evident that there is much more at work here than a mortal mental disorder. In the end, for two full days, priests read from the Bible, recited scriptures, and attempted to cast evil demons from within poor Clara. The clergy sprinkled holy water over her body, helplessly watching it bubble and burn as it landed on her skin.  The devil finally made his exit. However, not all exorcisms have a happy ending. In 1990, Gina, a 16-year-old who suffered from bouts of psychotic episodes, was strapped to a chair and filmed for the nationally syndicated television show 2020. Claiming to have the ability to rid her of paranormal demons by way of an exorcism, two Catholic priests stood above Gina's thrashing body while they dramatically administered the rite. Ominous music played in the background as the two clergymen performed in front of a crowd of millions. Pressing a cross against her face, one of the priests asked her, Do you want pain? I'll give you pain. Incidentally, if your blood is boiling, that is a perfectly natural and correct reaction to hearing what happened to Gina at the hands of those men. It was only later that her mother, who had given her consent, said that she had felt forced by the church to participate in the exorcism of her daughter. After all of the pomp and circumstance, it was less the exorcism and more the anti-psychotic drugs that offered the poor girl relief. In Gina's case, I can confidently say that the devil was not hiding inside her but standing directly in front of her, with a crucifix in one hand and holy water in the other. In 2003, eight-year-old Terence Cottrell got a taste of what it would be like to participate in an exorcism. Looking to drive out the evil spirits allegedly living inside him, Reverend Ray Hemphill employed a technique on Terence called external chest compression, which means he sat on his chest until Terence stopped breathing. The homicidal priest was convicted of murder and, God willing, he will never see the light of day again. When it comes to spiritual possession, it is often that the entity will target young teenage girls. One can only assume that it may be the raging hormones that act as a beacon for the bloodthirsty baddies, although it is likely not the only variable. Now, that is not to say anyone is exempt from the fast and furious grip of what lurks in the lower reaches of the spirit world. But keeping ourselves emotionally and spiritually fit may be our proverbial kryptonite, our ace in the hole giving us a leg up on yet another curious paranormal occurrence few can explain. Most importantly, however, if you remember one thing, make it this, the devil does not always appear in an evil spirit form. He often arrives as an angel of light. Buyer beware.
