Right, good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. Welcome to this week's Monday market webinar with me, Michael Houston, in place of Jasper Lawler, who's off this week on a well-deserved break. I'll be looking at some of the key events this week, but before I do that, I'm going to run you through the risk warning, the disclaimer, which we have to show at the beginning of every meeting, every webinar rather, and obviously we'll dissect the events of the last, at the end of last week and the surprise decision or the unexpected decision on some parts, on some people's part of the Federal Reserve to keep interest rates unchanged. It was no real surprise to me that the Fed decided to hold off raising rates. I think it's important that when you listen to all the noise about the prospects of a rate rise and the arguments for and against that you look at the Fed's mandate with respect to the U.S. economy and certainly we're already getting some fallout this week and we'll be getting some fallout this week on the back of the decision that we saw at the end of last week. As a recap, the Federal Reserve was expected to push rates up by around about 0.25%. It was a sort of 50-50 split between the rate rise hawks and the doves and the doves came out on top and I think in that context what we have to do is we have to look at the Fed's mandate in the context of what it needs to target in its deliberations with respect to the U.S. economy. Now I think part of the problem I think has been the Fed's guidance and the Fed's guidance has been opaque at best. It has an inflation mandate and it also has an employment mandate so it has two pillars. It's meeting its employment target but it is not in meeting its inflation target and that's where fundamentally it's falling short. If you actually look at the contents of the Fed's statement which we can do we can see the key paragraph in this press release is in the third paragraph. This assessment will take into account a wide range of information including measures of labor market conditions, indicators of inflation pressures and inflation expectations and readings on financial and international developments. So those last two components are really the two key components that dictated the Fed's decision to hold rates on Thursday. They went on to say the committee anticipates that it will be appropriate to raise the target range for the Fed funds rate when it has seen some further improvement in the labor market which is arguably it has and is reasonably confident that inflation will move back to its 2% objective over the medium term. The key words there being reasonably confident inflation is actually on the decline in August it posted a month-on-month negative print therefore I think it's stretching credibility somewhat to suggest that the Fed can be reasonably confident that inflation will return to target over the course of the next year or so when its CPI rate is at 0.2% and the inflation target is at 2%. So I think that gives you an indication of how weak inflation is in the US economy. Now there are some who would argue you know the US economy can probably withstand a rise and on that score you would probably be right. Unfortunately things have moved on since 2006 which was the last time the Federal Reserve raised interest rates for the US economy. In 2006 you could make the argument that the US Federal Reserve was the central bank for the United States of America. It still is unfortunately since then it's pumped in trillions of dollars to the global economy those trillions of dollars have gone into emerging markets in the form of dollar loans 9.6 trillion dollars of loans short dated loans in particular and as such those loans will be very very susceptible to a short-term rise in interest rates and I think that more than anything is what the Fed is concerned about. The capital outflows from emerging markets concerns about the movement in the Chinese room NIMBY PEG which could well cause ripple effects further deflationary effects into the global economy which will put further upward pressure on the US dollar because as soon as you push one rate up then the expectation is you're going to follow it with another one and that in essence is what caught the market by surprise last week. Now the debate has moved on to October and we've had Mr Bullard, James Bullard who's president of the Louis Fed and he is saying that an October rate rise is certainly on the table with respect to a move on rates then. Well I think that's highly unlikely because if you're not prepared to hike in September why on earth would you raise rates in October? Nothing much is going to change between now and the end of October. So Mr Bullard is saying there's a chance of an October rate rise by the Fed. I would say that the chance is fairly slim and certainly Fed funds imply that. This is Bloomberg Terminal WIRP. Fed funds rate is suggesting there's a 20 percent probability of a move in the Fed funds rate in October and the fact of the matter is the factors cited by Janet Yellen in her speech earlier this week sorry late last week rather aren't likely to change that much with respect to the overall measures taken by Chinese authorities to improve the Chinese economy and I think that's what you're really going to need to see a significant improvement in the Chinese economy to prompt the Fed to act on rates. So for the moment I think the most likely outcome is that we could see a move in December but even a December rate rise as designated by this particular chart here is pretty much a 50-50 split. There's a 48.8 percent chance of a rise in December. So what does that mean for the dollar and also what does it mean for those Fed members who prior to the meeting in September suggested that the bar to raising rates was very very high and we've got Mr Lockhart the Atlanta Fed president Lockhart talking later today and tomorrow and on Wednesday. Now Mr Lockhart gave the impression that he was going to vote for a rise in rates in August before the stock market turmoil out of China. In any event he actually voted to keep rates unchanged so I think it's worth listening to what Mr Lockhart has to say we know Mr Lacker dissented. It's worth knowing what Mr Lockhart has to say and what caused him to change his mind and I think that's very very important. What caused Mr Lockhart to change his mind about a September rate rise. So his comments later today will be very very important in the context of the overall debate. I think again it's very unlikely that we will see any move in October and for central bankers to claim otherwise I think it is going to be extremely disingenuous. I think the Fed is already coming under fire for its credibility by holding off in September. If it then goes an accident October it will blow that credibility to shreds because not much can change in six weeks certainly in the context of visibility on economic growth. So let's look at some of the key chart points with respect to not only the S&P but the Dow Jones because I think in that context what we want to see is whether or not for the Fed decision that we saw at the end of last week will have any significant repercussions for stock markets because we saw a massive sell-off on the back of the Fed decision which was somewhat counterintuitive because for the last five or six years low interest rates usually points to a stock market rally, further QE, easy monetary policy. The fact that the Fed didn't tie in should have given us a relief rally and it didn't and I think the key reason that that didn't happen was because a lot of people widely expected a rate hike and then what we got from the Fed was rather spurious reasons if you like as to why they didn't act and the fact of the matter is the Fed is now having to consider global growth considerations and that is a worry for investors they don't have the same sort of what I would call confidence in the Federal Reserve to be able to control the glide path if you like for future growth prospects and when key economic forecasters are completely divided and what the Fed should do that does give you a certain amount of worry with respect to where stock markets can go over the course of the next few weeks and months so looking at the S&P here this is a little bit of a worry the fact that we weren't able to sustain this move up to the 2000 level at the end of last week we've got a sharp move lower at the moment I think we're still within this broad range that we've been in for the past few weeks I don't think we're going to break out of that range I certainly don't think we're going to see a strong move higher certainly in the context of a stronger dollar if the dollar remains strong then I think it's unlikely that US stocks will find it will find it easy to rally significantly yes we are finding support at slightly higher levels the fact that we got this move here this strong upper shadow here and then we close lower and then the strong down move does seem to suggest that investors are a little bit worried about being overly long of stocks and I think over the course of the next few trading days we could well start to roll over and come back towards these lows around about the 1900 level here the oscillator does appear to reflect that as well we've also got moving averages starting to roll over as well to reinforce that I think we need confirmation from other US indices so let's look at the Dow to see whether or not that reinforces the slightly negative outlook similar sort of chart here again similar sort of roll over support 16,310 on the Dow Jones 30 the US 30 so keep an eye on that level there we've got one two three four daily lows around about 16,300 so I think that's going to be a very very key support level on the downside keep an eye on that on the top side keep an eye on the 16,700 area which coincides with Friday's highs and also the highs at the end of August we did have a little brief move above it but once again we found it very very difficult to break through that 17,000 area looking at the small caps index as well gives you another decent indication we've got resistance at the 50-day moving average on that slightly different we do appear to be starting to find momentum starting to peter out and stutter out and as such I think that's again likely to keep a lid on prices yes we are finding support at higher levels and that could actually be a short-term buying opportunity certainly in the context of this particular chart here in the four hour chart where we're actually finding a little bit of support through the highs from the lows rather from the end of August let's quickly draw that trend line in there to give us an indication of where the support lines come in so again just draw the line in like so so we've got a little bit of support coming in but overall looking at this four hour chart here very strong downward candle there looking at the resistance around about 1180 so we as I say we could see a short squeeze higher but overall based on the daily charts I think it's likely that we're going to see a little bit of a roll over and a move down towards the downside but we'll probably see a short squeeze higher first looking at the Germany 30 it's been a bit of a mixed session today for European stocks simply on the back of this Adidas news which was very very bad news for the DAX given how heavily weighted auto makers are in the DAX index we've seen this break lower here we're still I think within the broader range that we've been in over the course of the past few weeks but ultimately I think unless we can actually work out where we are with respect to the China growth story it's going to be very very difficult for the DAX to make any significant upside until we get further clarity on the health of the Chinese economy now in that context this Wednesday's Chinese manufacturing PMI could actually be significantly could be significantly important because this kicing manufacturing PMI was the number came in a 77 month low that also preempted the widening of the band and the easing of the band by the Chinese authorities in August it came in around about 47.8 since then we've seen another easing and monetary policy by the Chinese authorities so I think in that context we need to keep an eye on that particular economic indicator for any signs of an improvement to see whether or not the p-engine port explosion actually caused that particular manufacturing PMI to be unusually weak for the month of August and whether or not we've seen an improvement in the September numbers and whether or not the August number was just a one-off as a result of the disruption caused by that explosion so keep an eye on that I think that could that could actually prompt a little bit of an upside surprise but at the moment the jury remains out on that so certainly keep an eye on the DAX same for the FTSE 100 FTSE 100 again finding decent area of resistance around about 6300 but finding decent support just above the 6000 level we can see it through these lows through here long shadow there I'm looking at support over the last couple of days again around about 6070 but what's interesting here ladies and gents is this bearish engulfing day here on Thursday we had a very negative day on Thursday and then a very negative day on Friday now we've partially reversed some of that today but ultimately we're finding that around about 6,270 there's a significant area of resistance and it's hard to really get your head around as to what would cause us to significantly push above this area between 6,270 and 6300 so looking at this I think we're in a broad range in the FTSE 100 if we do get a rebound in oil prices or commodity prices then we could well get a rebound in the FTSE 100 certainly something to keep an eye on unfortunately at the moment we don't appear to be getting anything that could be considered a rebound in oil prices but there does appear on the face of it and this is something that I've been looking at for quite some time with respect to oil prices some evidence that maybe maybe and I'm caveating this extremely heavily there could be a short-term base in oil prices if we look at this particular candle here this candle here on the weekly charts is a potential bullish reversal and I say potential because at the moment since we posted that particular reversal pattern we posted three successive weekly declines but what's interesting about this is we actually haven't traded below the lows of the week before it which is around about $44.80 on the Brent contract so if we drill that down to a daily chart and then a four hour chart we can see from the price action yes we are in a bit of a downward trend but there does appear on the face of it to be a little bit of support building up on the downside we haven't yet had any evidence that a low is in but I'm keeping an eye on this series this low here around about $46 a barrel but also keeping an eye on on this area around about $44.80 so what I think we really need to see here and the four hour chart does appear to reflect that that maybe we are starting to build up a little bit of a base it's taking a while to build itself up is there a base building process in place at the moment it's difficult to say with any degree of certainty but the fact that we haven't come back into this corridor here between $42 and $45 a barrel would appear to suggest that there's a possibility that we could be building up a bit of a base we get a break back up here and then we could head back to forwards $50 a barrel now when I say talking about a base I'm not talking about rally back to $70-$80 a barrel I don't think we're anywhere near that and certainly in the context of Goldman Sachs's call for $20 a barrel I don't think we're talking about that either but what I am saying is that with all the with all the analyst talk of a lower oil price I think there is a risk that that particular trade is becoming a little bit crowded and we could actually start to squeeze higher so certainly in that context keep an eye on this downtrend line here it's a similar sort of story on the WTI contract similar sort of price build up we did get a little bit of a breakout in the triangle on the four hour chart on at the end in the middle of last week ultimately proved to be a little bit of a false break but if we look at these series of lows through here ladies and gentlemen around about $43 a barrel it's interesting to note that again if we look at the weekly chart it's a similar sort of story a very bullish candle here it's a slightly different story with respect to the weekly closes unlike Brent where we saw three successive weekly declines we've only seen one weekly decline and we are now slightly up on the week today but that could well change very very quickly while we remain about $43 a barrel certainly on the four hour chart then I think there's a good chance that we could slowly start to weaken move higher back towards $49 or $50 a barrel so certainly keep keep an eye on them and I think if if oil prices do start to form a little bit of a base then that could have benefits for the Canadian dollar and we certainly see the Canadian dollar in joy a certain well hesitate to use the word enjoy I don't think anyone enjoys getting whipped around on volatility but certainly in the context of this triangle triangle breakout that we saw on Friday we saw a sharp move lower on this triangle breakout here unfortunately we did not meet our minimum price objective at $129.53 we got close to $130 on the breakout now we're back inside it and the worry is here I think that we could actually squeeze all the way back up to this upper line here but overall I really cannot be bullish on the US dollar at this point in time irrespective of what you think about whether or not we get a rate hike whether we get a rate hike in October or December certainly on the four hour chart I think there's more probability that we could start to roll back over and head back towards 131 as opposed to 133 and I think what we've seen here is very thin liquidity said very thin volumes causing an awful lot of what I would call market volatility so what is the Fed's decision to hold rates mean for euro dollar it certainly gives Mr Draghi a bit of a problem because the last thing the euro area wants is a stronger euro and in the past couple of weeks we've seen the euro continue to move higher certainly in the context of this four hour chart that we've got here I've been tracking this trend line from the lows in August which is which I've drawn on the four hour chart overall though if we look at these highs and lows we can see that the lows are getting higher and the highs are getting higher now that's 117 we've seen a sharp move down on Friday which seems bizarre when you consider that the Fed left rates on hold but with Mr Draghi due to speak later this week on Wednesday we've heard an awful lot of chatter from ECB policy makers that the ECB are prepared to do more with respect to further QE and maybe outline further measures to extend their QE program beyond 2016 September 2016 I think that unlikely I don't think everyone can keep their currency week all at the same time the Federal Reserve probably doesn't want a stronger dollar because it doesn't want weak inflation to ripple out through the US economy and certainly way on the manufacturing sector we've seen very very weak manufacturing numbers last week from the Philadelphia Fed and the Empire Manufacturing Survey we've had weak price pressures we've seen weak wage growth and the likelihood is the continued strong dollar will continue to weigh down on the US economy and it certainly means that US data will continue to be in the spotlight with respect to expectations about an October hike which I do not think will happen one other thing that we need to bear in mind about the US economy is there's a high probability that the US government will shut down again the failure to raise the debt ceiling and I have a feeling that even though it wasn't implicitly mentioned by the Federal Reserve that could have been behind the deliberations to keep rates on hold the fact of the matter is political instability in the US economy is the last thing that any economy needs and therefore you raise rates and then you get the government shut down I think it's a similar sort of story to what we saw in 2013 when the when the Fed decided to delay the taper because of the fact that we had a similar debt ceiling squabble between Republicans and Democrats so I think once again we could well see that that player part in the decision to keep rates on hold so looking at the euro dollar look at this keep an eye on this trend line support from the August lows currently comes in around about 12 30 12 40 below that we've also got significant support at the 50 and 100 day moving average these are levels that I've highlighted in my chart forum update on spread bet and I try and update these every single day on euro dollar on the pound against the dollar dollar yen and cable and euro sterling rather and it's a similar sort of story on cable chart as well we can see it in this four hour chart that I've got in front of you here again we've got higher highs higher lows we've got a nice bit of support between 154 70 154 80 we've got a little bit of a peak here we could well continue to trade sideways even if we break below 154 70 80 we've got solid support around about 153 30 which was last week's lows again the chart forum there highlights those those those key levels which I've talked about in previous updates so you can get a fair idea of where the key levels are with respect to my charts and how I arrive at the levels that I talk about with dollar yen and euro sterling it's actually surprising how similar these charts are because again we're in we're in trading triangles and have been for quite some time support coming in just below 119 on dollar yen and around about 120 90 on the top side that's the range until such times as we break out either side of those ranges that's probably the best way to trade it I really don't see too much in the way of top side but again that really depends on whether or not you think that the Bank of Japan is going to announce further QE I think it's unlikely but you never know it's very much a QE expectations driven market and as such it's going to keep markets off guard and it's going to keep markets on edge euro sterling again a similar sort of story we're right on support around about 72 45 if we do break lower then we could well see a sharp move down to 72 the figure of 71 80 looking at the four hour chart on euro sterling it's starting to look a little bit oversold so certainly I think in the context of three that these three lows here we could find a little bit of a bounce around about this this area currently where we are at the moment but if we do break below this this this moving average here we could see a sharp move down to around about 72 but certainly this triangle would appear to suggest that if we do break lower we could break we could see a sharp move down from these lows here and I'll measure that quite I'll measure this from here actually I've done that wrong let's get rid of that this is one of the useful features of the platform is you can calculate price objectives using Fibonacci so if we go from here that's gone the wrong way as per usual always does that because I've gone backwards so go there and there so if we if this is a classic triangle breakout then the potential is to remove down to around about 71 on a measured a not purely measured move basis and we can get rid of the other Fibonacci projections just like that so initially 71 54 and then a move down to 70 97 so we'll be keeping an eye on that in the short to medium term but certainly I would be looking for a move below 72 30 to confirm that that triangle has broken out before even thinking about going into that particular trade right okay so ladies and gentlemen it's now 1244 is there anything else in particular you guys would like me to cover before I sign off this particular webinar I'll just quickly remind you about the key economic data announcements for the due out later this week we've got French and German manufacturing and services PMI for September due out on Wednesday they could well give further indications as to whether or not the ECB will be inclined to jawbone or talk the euro lower we've got US durable goods on a on Thursday and they could give a good indication as to whether or not the US consumer is starting to spend a little bit more money core durable goods which so far this year have been negative and given the fact that the US consumer has enjoyed a positive fiscal boost from lower oil prices it is one of I think little mysteries of this particular debate about whether or not the US economy is doing well why US consumers aren't going out and spending money because certainly the durable core durable goods numbers don't give the impression that the US consumer is particularly confident about spending money on big ticket data items like TVs fridge freezers another another big ticket items which would normally which would normally sort of point to a significant confidence in the robustness of the US recovery so you know that you may have noticed I haven't talked about the Greece vote and the fact that Mr. Sipras has been re-elected with a pretty much the same mandate that he got in January to be quite honest the Greece vote is really a story for later this year and only next year markets don't really care that much about it we don't think it's going to create that much of a ripple effects over the course of the next few months it's important in the context of whether or not Greece is able to implement the reforms that markets think that it will personally I don't think that it will do but it's a story for another day it's certainly not a story for this week markets have more important things to worry about like Chinese growth emerging markets growth and whether or not the Fed or when the Fed is going to raise interest rates so unless anyone has any further questions I told thank you for your time and if you want to listen to this webinar back it'll be on YouTube hopefully in the next 24 to 48 hours


All right, this is going to be a good one. So if you're on your medical journey and you love YouTube, this is going to be the video for you because today's video we are going to break down the best YouTube channels here on the platform that can help you on your medical journey whether it's learning the content or helping with the tips, let's get into it. What's going on guys, welcome back to channel. My name is Lakshman, internal medicine resident and today we are going to unite the Avengers of the medical YouTube community. We have my Captain America shirt going on but today I'm going to find those Avengers on the far corners of the medical community that are going to help you just crushed on a medical journey. I'm super excited because there are so many amazing channels that I've used on my medical journey used as a pre-med, used as a med student, even now it uses a resident that I know can help you with both the knowledge and the tips that we all kind of need to make this journey just a little bit easier. So hopefully you guys enjoy this list and we're going to go right into my computer to kind of show you my favorite channels but if I do miss one that you really love make sure you add it in the comments section down below and speaking up below if you want a nice little freebie stay tuned to the very end of the video but let's get into my computer and start with the channel that I absolutely love. Now channel number one that I absolutely love is Medcram. Now this is a channel that is led by hopefully I say this right, Dr. Salette but he is a board certified pulmonologist, ICU doctor in sleep medicine and he makes amazing, amazing videos kind of guiding you through like drawing illustrations of pretty much any topic in medicine and I particularly found this channel when I was starting residency because there's a lot of things that I should know as a brand new doctor that I just didn't know and you can kind of even see some of the videos that I've watched early on like inhalers never made sense the names of them but this video like made it so much easier and particularly the things such as ventilations and ICU level care which for me in medical school I didn't do so having this channel just kind of guide me through the very different things is just amazing and I'm just to kind of give you guys the stats as I'm making of this videos there are 363 videos I'm still putting out videos every single month on this channel and as you can see they also have 1.27 million subscribers so if you're interested in some high quality learning and high quality teaching definitely give these videos a go they also have some premium videos like off YouTube that you guys can definitely check out but I'll link the video down below in the description in case you're interested now channel number two is Osmosis now this is obviously a company that many people on their medical journey in medical school particular know very well of but their YouTube channel sometimes people aren't aware of how high quality of content they've had this has been existing since I was in med school at least and the beauty of just their thumbnails their videos their illustrations and breaking down again essentially any concept but also doing this in more of an animated style where the previous channel on medcrams would usually do it through a drawing kind of format their videos are absolutely amazing as you guys can see some of their videos are getting 2.7, 2.5, 2.4 million views as the making of this video there are nearly a thousand videos on Osmosis YouTube channel as well as constantly putting out about 10 videos per month so there will clearly be something for you so definitely give them a subscribe if you haven't checked them out already now channel number three definitely does require any introduction but it's likely saved one of our butts on our medical journey already and this is specifically Khan Academy now you're probably familiar with Khan Academy but what you probably didn't know is that they have their own YouTube channel specifically for medical concepts and so this is called the Khan Academy Medicine YouTube channel so name obviously makes sense right now they have as I'm making this video 1.47 million subscribers and they've put out nearly 1300 videos which is absolutely insane and it's perfect for a student so obviously if you're in medical school or nursing school and you need to watch some quick refreshers but also if you're studying for board exams like the MCAT or the GRE if you're going to PA school and MCAT for med school now I know for a fact I use some of these videos when I was studying for the MCAT way back then to definitely save myself some money instead of those expensive courses and I definitely still have some students that I work with even to this day we're primarily creating an entire MCAT schedule specifically around some of the videos on Khan Academy now in case you're not familiar with Khan Academy's teaching style usually they're done on a digital black-white board with kind of text and everything drawn out but they're so pretty useful the drawings are very efficient and I think that they do a great job of having illustrations and explanations all in one with relatively short videos as you guys can see on this most of them are between seven and 12ish minutes and so it doesn't really require a lot of time plus YouTube you can speed up videos 2x and so it allows you to get through more videos much quicker now channel number three that you probably heard of that we've come across but may not have given their resources enough chance is Luxurio now and it's definitely a channel that ever saw us and will pop up on my feed because whenever I'm looking up like one topic for residency then their videos will show up but their teaching style is a little bit different it's more kind of a PowerPoint with one instructor kind of talking about the various topics you probably recognize some of the faces for example this is Dr. O who used to have his own YouTube channel it may sound like videos but he's definitely one of the first YouTube channels to kind of do what I do now which is get tips to people on their night journey but now he's making some of their videos for their company as well and they have videos regarding everything from anatomy to individual topics such as pathology, you farm so if you're early on your medical journey this may be a concept and a style of teaching that may be relatively reasonable and their videos have a variety of links so some of them can be really short so like one or two minutes here and then things for anatomy can be anywhere from like 40, 30 minutes so if you're ever in a situation where you're like man class lectures just literally just suck then this may be a good option in between where you can just try to find a relative video on Luxurio and then instead just replace that for the lectures that you just didn't want to watch for class so the making of this video right now they have about 972 videos about four videos per month and about 530,000 subscribers now channel number five is the Dr. Najeeb Lectures now this is probably going to be either a hit or miss depending on who you are or what community you are now if you know anything about Dr. Najeeb he has been making videos for quite some time here on YouTube basically giving out free content in a very lecture heavy kind of standpoint so imagine you're a professor on a whiteboard teaching you various concepts such as EKG interpretations intro to neuro-optimology but it's definitely done in a lecture environment because he's typically talking to somebody in front of him and then is recording these videos to be placed on YouTube so some people absolutely love the style of teaching because it feels like you have your own professor but he's definitely talking to somebody else in the audience they also have their own premium models in case you do enjoy their videos on YouTube right now as I'm making this video they have 448 videos most recently as the past 30 days they put out two videos and right now they have 1.57 million subscribers a few things that I really enjoy about these videos is that usually they are taught in a very easy to understand metaphor as kind of are used very often on the whiteboard and so long term retention is usually a big plus but sometimes audio is a little bit off because typically again it's in a lecture environment so depending on who's talking you may hear noises in the background but it usually is not off-putting and sometimes depending on who you are the accent of Dr. Najeeb which has a very classic Indian accent can be easy to understand or not regardless I found a lot of these lectures to be very helpful to be able to definitely break down and understand things that kind of made sense to me in residency but not so much so if you're unfamiliar with the Dr. Najeeb lectures definitely give those a shot now moving into a different type of channel but something that I would consider to be a dark horse although they're a much bigger channel already comparatively to how long they've been on YouTube is the Mike and Maddie YouTube channel now if you guys know them or if they're watching like let me know because a collaboration would be amazing because these guys are fantastic they are brothers, they're doctors and they make videos basically concepts like I do but their quality is just like on a different level and they help with things such as studying and how to balance life in medicine, productivity their thumbnails are amazing their concepts are really good their storyline, the way that they just talk is just like very easy to hear and I don't think either of them have a British accent so there's no Ali Abdullah effect here but they still have an amazing high quality channel as you guys can see they put on 104 videos and already they're approaching 200,000 subscribers so congratulations to you guys for your amazing success you highly deserve it the videos are absolutely awesome and I expect in the future they're gonna continue to broaden their horizons and provide even more helpful tips in addition to just the study tips that they do right now and from my understanding I believe this is true and this is also the other right here so I'm pretty sure I'm right they're also the founders and creators of RemNote which is definitely a tool that I'm very familiar with definitely give this channel a shot I think it's gonna be hard to not continue to watch their videos but right now I think they're on a huge trajectory again if you guys are watching or you're one of their supporters then also watch my channel let them know that I sent you or that I gave them a shout out because that would just awesome be kind of amazing you guys are doing a great job I definitely recommend if you guys haven't and you enjoy my content and my tips then these would be amazing people to continue to watch and if you're coming from their channel hopefully my channel can do that for you as well next up we have a channel that has the energy that I definitely wanna have in my videos and this is the Ninja Nerd YouTube channel which is does such a fantastic job that can't illustrate that enough of talking about really complex and common medical topics but just with amazing thumbnails amazing topics and they're all on the whiteboard I'm just gonna put it here on you just so you guys can see how fantastic these lectures are there's like beautiful drawings and you just wanna listen to this guy talk for an hour and 42 minutes about causes of acute pancreatitis as ridiculous as that sounds but look at this this is so beautiful like I can't draw like that and I'm sure he's gotten better over time but again teaching you high quality medical concepts and the very easy to understand away but in a very exciting way and he's clearly pumped about it and you can see that when the audio is on so if you haven't checked out the Ninja Nerd YouTube channel highly recommend I can easily understand how they have 1.3 million subscribers in making this video and just for the rest of the stats some of their videos are getting millions of views so this one has 5.6 million about coronavirus 0.3 about COVID treatments but they've put out 480 videos and 19 videos in the last 30 days so an awesome posting schedule and so if you guys want a high level of consistency and high level of quality for your medical knowledge definitely give the Ninja Nerd channel a try and as we're getting to our last few YouTube channels the next one I really enjoy is called Armando and I apologize on pronunciation here Hasu Dungan so that Armando Hasu Dungan YouTube channel hopefully I said it correctly at that time 1.9 million subscribers you're so close to 2 million so congratulations hopefully by the time this video comes out you're already there 469 videos one video on the last 30 days but their teaching style is also very similar to some of our prior channels that uses illustrations in a very nicely effective kind of illustrative way but to help you in some relatively short videos in 15 to 12 to 21 minutes I always enjoyed those videos that are like things like Pathomas that can teach you medical concepts through drawings, through metaphors and really to be able to use pictures, audio and visuals all in one to be able to help long term retention this is definitely a great YouTube channel to check it out so I will link them down below in case you guys are interested and last but not least this is not to toot my own horn but in case you are new here and you're just sitting in this on YouTube channel the empty journey in case you guys are not familiar is my YouTube channel basically I create videos to help you guys on your medical journey by teaching you tips on things like how to study how to prepare for certain resources for certain exams as well as things like how to be happy so this is our most recent YouTube channel as the making of this video currently I am at 23,000 subscribers approaching 24,000 I've been doing this for the last four to five years so thank you guys so much for the support 306 videos so far and about six to eight videos per month so hopefully if you guys are new to this channel I'm not gonna talk very much about it hopefully you guys just enjoy the content so whether it's about studying, productivity my hunky video is probably gonna be the most popular on the YouTube channel by far you guys really enjoyed it this is a full walkthrough in case you guys are interested there's plenty of other things like such as how to study faster how to get better grades the techniques I use in medical school so enough of tooting my own horn my main goal for this channel is basically I'm gonna do things well I'm gonna do things not so well and those latter things I want you to do less of and make less mistakes from my own experiences and the things that do go well for me I'm hoping you guys can capitalize and have even more successes on your own medical journey but those guys are some of my favorite YouTube channels across the platform again I will link all of them down below let them know that I sent you definitely give them some love and support for their hard work their hard content that they are creating for you each and every day each and every week and then hopefully if I miss one that you guys can add those in the comment section also reveal to me what your favorite YouTube channels are probably know some of them maybe I'm not familiar with others so add them in the comment section to myself and other people in the community can definitely get exposed to those as well and if you're on your medical journey and you want it to become a little bit easier is the goal of this channel and one of the best ways that I know how to do that is to first help you get the grades that you've always wanted and studying tends to be the biggest difficulty of most medical students so if you want our free three step process the same thing that I do through my coaching students on how to get better grades with more free time and definitely click down below to check out our study rehab course it's absolutely free kind of see the step by step process that we put all our students through you can try those same techniques yourself so if you're interested that will be linked down below I promise you it's gonna take maybe 10 minutes of your time but it could save you hours and hours within a week to improve both your grades and your sanity, more importantly but as always my friends thank you for making it to the very end of this video if you did enjoy it all I ask is hit that like button that subscribe button and notification bell to be notified when more videos like this go out on a weekly basis and as always if you guys have any questions about the medical journey drop them in the comment section down below I try my best to answer all of them and if you did enjoy this video then check out that on key video we talked about on how to use a step by step like a pro in this video on how to study medical school step by step as always my friends thank you for being a part of my journey hopefully that was a little help to you guys on yours now go check out those YouTube videos and I'll see you guys in the next one peace


The first I would emphasize is it really is about multiple facets. It's about the process, it's about the mindset, and it's about the technology. From a technology standpoint, we need to make the systems as fast and easy as we can, but we can't forget that it's really the process that drives things, and this is a big change for people. So making sure that we have the right mindset in people to follow the process to achieve the objectives we're after, which is coming up with a consensus number we can all agree to to drive our operations on the ground. I think the second thing that I would point out is the dedication to the change and really everybody from the top of the house all the way down to those operating in the meetings themselves having the conviction to keep at it because it is a big change and it's not going to be perfect from day one. We've been at this for a number of years and it's well embedded in our culture now in the organization and we think we can take it further. So we will continuously improve on that now that we have that foundation in place and continue to add capabilities both from our process standpoint as well as the technology standpoint.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we will discuss amplitude, period, midline and graph of general form of trigonometric function involving transformation. Now in our earlier session we had discussed about the period, amplitude and midline. Now in this session we will discuss the general form of trigonometric function that is y is equal to a sin of b into x minus c the whole plus k and y is equal to b into x minus c the whole plus k. Now in our earlier sessions we have also discussed the graph of trigonometric functions we saw the graph of trigonometric functions is periodic. We have also discussed that a of f of x f of x plus a the whole are all transformations of the function whose transformation can be applied to sin and cosine functions. Now in order to write the periodic function we will make use of transformation of sin and cosine functions. Now equation of periodic function involving trigonometric functions can be of the following type. This type is y is equal to a sin of b x and y is equal to a cos of b x. Second one is y is equal to a sin of b into x minus c the whole of y is equal to a cos of b into x minus c the whole. And the next type is y is equal to a sin of b into x minus c the whole plus k and y is equal to a cos of b into x minus c the whole plus k. Now for the functions y is equal to a sin of b x and y is equal to a cos of b x. The amplitude is given by the absolute value of a. Period is given by 2 pi upon absolute value of b 60 degrees upon absolute value of b. The function y is equal to minus 6 all the 3 x. Now here a is minus 6 and b is 3. The amplitude will be equal to absolute value of minus 6 which is equal to 6 and period is equal to 2 pi upon absolute value of 3 which is 3. Now let us discuss what is the phase shift. Now the functions y is of b into x minus c the whole and y is equal to a cos of b into x minus of length horizontal. Now the curve is shifted to the right the curve is shifted to the left if c is less than 0. Now here you can see we have taken the graph of y is equal to a sin of b x that is this curve and here you can see when we shift the graph by length c your c is greater than 0 and we are shifting this graph horizontally to the right we get this green curve and the equation of this curve is y is equal to a sin of b into x minus c the whole and now when we shift the curve that is this pink curve by the length c and here c is less than 0 so here we are shifting this pink curve by length c horizontally greater than this blue curve and here equation of this blue curve will be y is equal to a sin of b into x plus c the whole and here c is less than 0 and here the equation of this pink curve is y is equal to a cos of bx when we are shifting this graph by length then we are getting this green curve and equation of this curve is y is equal to a cos of b into x minus c the whole and when we shift this pink curve by length c horizontally then we get this blue curve and equation of this blue curve is y is equal to of b into h plus c the whole for example the whole b is 1 so here h is equal to absolute value of a which is equal to absolute value of 2 that is equal to 2 of b that is absolute value of 1 and this is equal to 2 pi upon 1 which is equal to 2 pi now we know that phase shift is given by c so we can write x plus pi by 4 of minus pi by 4 minus pi by 4 where c is less than 0 therefore take to the left c is less than 0 now let us discuss what is the vertical shift now graph of trigonometric functions can be translated horizontally through a phase shift and they can be translated vertically through a vertical shift now in a trigonometric function let it be y is equal to sin x if it is added then the graph is shifted upwards or downwards y is equal to sin x plus k is greater than 0 and k is a constant which is added to sin x function so the graph shifts upwards now if we have then the graph shifts downwards now the midline changes when there is a vertical shift new midline is given by y is equal to k for downward shift new midline is given by y is equal to minus k now here we can see the graph of trigonometric function the midline is given by y is equal to 0 that is the x midline is the line about which the function oscillates above and below equally the equation is y is equal to the new midline that is the midline of the screen curve is given by y is equal to k so here you can see that the curve with equation y is equal to sin x and we have obtained a new curve that is the screen curve with equation y is equal to this is the curve without vertical shift now in general we have into x minus c the whole plus k and y is equal to a cos of b into x minus c the whole plus k so here midline is given by upwards for k greater than 0 and curve shifts downwards for k less than 0 now let us see an example here consider a function y is equal to 1 by 2 into theta 3 the whole and phase shift of this function let us compare this function with y is equal to a cos of b into x minus c the whole plus k comparing here we have a is equal to 4 b is equal to 1 by 2 theta 3 and k is equal to minus 6 so a that is absolute value of 4 which is equal to 4 upon absolute value of b that is absolute value of 1 by 2 this is upon 1 by 2 which is equal to 4 part is given by y is now here as k is minus the curve shifts downwards and here midline is given by y is equal to now phase shift is given by the value as c is pi by 3 is equal to pi by 3 c is greater than 0 so the curve is shifted to the right by pi by 3 now we can draw the graph of the function and here we draw number line with angles in radius on horizontal axis and number line now here midline we have drawn a horizontal line now period is equal to 4 pi and the graph is stretched till 4 pi from midline above y is equal to minus 6 and we get y is equal to as the maximum below y is equal to minus 6 and we get the minimum range at y is equal to minus 10 y is equal to minus 2 and at y is equal to minus 10 now here first of all we will draw the graph of y is equal to 4 in cause of 1 by 2 into theta minus 6 without root graph starts on y axis in the wave pattern minus 2 and from that point graph moves downwards according to midline and reaches minimum height then it returns back to the maximum completes one cycle of the function y is equal to 4 of 1 by 2 into theta minus 6 the curve to the right by we get this graph and this is the graph of the function of 1 by 2 into theta minus pi by 3 the whole minus given then the midline would have been x that is y is equal to 0 so in this session we have learnt amplitude, period, midline and graph of general form of trigonometric function in verbal transformation and this completes our session hope you all have enjoyed the session
