Almost time for the bell, how many options will you sell? Fire up your platform, get ready to enter But first, let's get the mindset centered Let's go, we follow the plan, that's how trading Have success, find what works for you and forget the rest Stats and probabilities is what we're about Time to dismiss greed and doubt, focus on the process Not the money and the profits will flow More trade hackers, get ready the options Time to make bank, get locked and loaded Then be ready to play What's up everyone, welcome to the first power hour of December December 1st on a Friday, hope all is well Well it looks like we actually have a nice juicy $8 straddle To play with, Patron to one So today I got smoked out of my morning AM ratio Had a couple of re-entries that got stopped out Small losses My JSP's, I reduced my stop, got stopped out for small loss on that one Then I've got a couple other re-entries that are on One hit 50%, one is still on And a PM iron condor that's up about 20% So I'm trading my up day strategies today SPX is up 0.69% above the open Trunch one here in a few minutes Also got some calendars I need to put on First one will be a 3-6 Excuse me, first one will be a 6-7 I will do a 3-6 And a 3-5 Get these typed out on my little sketch pad A 3-7 A 5-7 Trunch one coming out in a couple minutes Had everybody else do today, kind of a mixed bag That was unfortunate getting stopped out of those JSP's After it kind of flushed it out when I reduced my stop And then took off Yeah, Russell's going crazy today Up 2.4% Gold is hitting new all-time highs today Volatility expanding in gold Hit a new high of 2,095.7 On the Gold Futures He has not hit a all-time high quite yet All-time high is at 193.3 He's currently at 191.6 Trunch one coming in Let's see, we went 5 wide 95.90s Oh no, I'm sorry 90s straddle I was looking at my other position 90s straddle fill that 10.65 2-1 90s straddle Yeah, I'm sharing some strikes here So my wrist-graph's going to look a little goofy Sure does, Maro, sure does I did a bunch of futures trading today Ended up doing nice Almost 4,000 in profits I traded a bunch of different things My first trade was a loser And that was gold Gold tricked me I thought it was pulling down And it just ripped my face off So that one got stopped out right here And thank goodness I got stopped out Because it ended up up here So that one was about a $2,300 loss 6B was also the other loser And then I had a winner in the Euro My biggest winner was an ES $1,000 winner in oil Another small winner in MES Small winner in M&Q $1,000 winner in corn $1,000 winner in wheat Now I'm not using NTT I'm just looking at price action On the daily chart And then entering and managing On a five-minute chart Just price action So S&P futures a little above $4,600 SPX almost hit $4,600 $4,599 $39 is the high of day Yeah, Calvin, I looked at it When I was doing my December planning But I like the way that I'm set up To do the up days, normal days, down days better For me, bounce here in SPX VIX down almost 3% Down to about 12.5% Although when SPX was climbing earlier SPX or VIX started bouncing as well To set a little reminder for my calendars Well, let's hope we don't have a big market on close And balance change again Like we did yesterday, that thing was nasty Well, we got the election next year Maybe that'll help leading up to it And I'm sure we'll have some surprises here and there That pop volatility back up I just can't wait for the political commercials That's my favorite part We need Dick K to run for office That's what we really need Get the trade hacker community behind him I don't, I mean, I don't see how he could lose, really Exactly can That's a good tagline right there Make SPX great again No, I did not Anything good? Yeah, Nathan's pretty bad Pretty, pretty bad Let's see, Tronche 1, I got in at 10.65 So 6.40 I'll reduce my stop Tronche 1 up 6.3% so far Getting a little bit of decay coming in Dark Avenger, I'm just I'm just adding more More calendar exposure here Going forward I think we're going to see some good performance out of them Being in this low implied volatility Anytime we get a little pop It should work well for the calendars Assuming it stays in range I will, you know, it depends When I start putting them on When I'm looking at the strikes Depending on any kind of overlap I may nix one of those But a little pullback Back to 89 Taking my son Taking my son Taking my son and three of his buddies to Great Wolf Lodge tonight So that'll be interesting 12 year old birthday party Oh, Great Wolf Lodge They've got like a water park It's a hotel Just other fun stuff for kids My wife's like, yeah, you can stay the night there I'll be at home taking care of the dogs Thank you, thank you for that We have three dogs Three dogs, six chickens Got a golden doodle That's my dog Got a yellow lab Pretty much a yellow lab We don't know for sure That was a rescue dog And then my wife's dog Is a Havanese poodle Hava poo It's a little black thing I don't claim that one So I was at a town a couple of weeks ago For my son's national cross-country meet I come home And she has another dog She decided to go to Casey Pett Project to I don't know why, I'm not sure what she was thinking And she has this dog in her house I'm like, so when are you taking that back? And she's kind of Joking around, oh, isn't it cute? She'd never answer my question So finally, later that night, I was like, no, really? When are you taking that dog back? I was like, we are not having We are not having four dogs in this house She wasn't very happy about that, but She took it back Alright, I'm gonna jump in my 6'7 here Build on my 6'7 Just posted that in the calendar channel SPX bouncing back up for us Bronze one's up 10% My PM iron condor's up 40% Let me reduce my stop on that one Trunch 2 Filled at 6.65 And that was the 95 calls 90 puts 5 wide, how about that friends? It's like a real power hour I feel like it's a real power hour today Not a fake one like we've had A real one Alright, so Trunch 2 filled at 6.65 So 4 bucks will be my target to reduce my stop Yeah, I noticed UPST was that big today too 20% Lyft is up 13% Ulta up 10% The red side, Pfizer's down 5.5% Good, hope Pfizer dies A slow, painful death So all my bots I set up 30 seconds Prior to my back test time So that it gets filled by the back test time So Trunch 3 would be 24.30 SPX at 45.90 No, I'm still manual with my DC's Kind of waiting for Trade steward to get the Connection to trade here And then I'll add my bots for my Double calendars I started to do the bots on my B&B's, my 1, 2 DTE's But sometimes I have some conflicting strikes In my TOS account And I just decided instead of having to Having to worry about that I'm just gonna stick with manually entering For now It is amazing how the market reacts to Jerome Didn't really say anything But yet the market just has to move when he talks Just has to Wow, is that right, Naughty Dog? Do I have multiple margin accounts now? Same broker? And that was from Tasty, told you that one? That's good to know I wondered why that was an issue to begin with But that's good Sounds like the regulators Finally came to their senses on one thing Maybe the pattern day trading rule Will be eliminated next Never know Oh, and they look at both of them together, okay Wow, that's even better Yeah, I appreciate you sharing that I've not heard that Trader denied your second Was that recently, Neil? You should be able to have multiple IRA accounts It was just for margin, I believe Oh, gotcha, yeah Yeah, I don't know how they would do that Alright, SPX down to 89 Like to stay above 90 Trunch three coming in a couple minutes I'm gonna go ahead and close out One of my re-entries here Bumblebee, I'm not sure if I anticipated it Necessarily Commodities, a lot of times The implied volatility expansion works Opposite of equities Meaning, as we're seeing in gold It's hitting new all-time highs Implied volatility is expanding So gold keeps going up Implied volatility is most likely going to keep expanding Here comes Trunch three Build at 630 And that was on 95 calls, 90 puts So five wide for Trunch three And three five wide 90 to 95 will work I'm gonna get filled on my three six SPX bouncing Just posted my three six Trunch one and two are both up Over 20% Bumblebee, everybody has their own Plan, but The majority of us Hold it until Right at the end of the day For me If I have a strangle Then I will potentially Let it go all the way to the bell Or what I kind of do is Within the last five minutes I use a little bit of discretion as far as when to When to exit, but I don't exit prior to Five minutes till the bell Naughty dog, you don't Like if you're buying the five cent wings You might as well Buy the closest ones that are Five cents, there's no value in going Wider If the strikes are down to five Five cents Trade stewards trailing stops are not automated yet So you gotta Manually Move them down At this point Naughty dog, that would just mean that There are some cases where Five cents are wider Than 70 Strikes, 70 wide When implied volatility gets really high Especially on the put side You see Five cents could be a hundred plus points away Low volatility, there's No reason to go Wider than the first five cent strikes Wow, that's six seven I put on is already up 350 bucks It's already at five percent White tiger, I'm referring to A six seven DTE Double calendar Not zero DTE related, not power Hour related, tranche ones Up almost 30 percent I'm looking for 640 To reduce my stop 594 million sell side So for my five seven That I put on, I'm gonna do the I'm gonna do the at the money version Be more trader So the The big institutions Are required to report Their inflows Or outflows for the day And they are And then their orders are required to be entered As a market on close order At the end of the day So What happens is On financial juice it reports these So the early indication The first one comes out 30 minutes Until the bell And then there are two others And then the final one that the That the firms are locked into Comes out 10 minutes before the bell And so So you know Your state streets, vanguards, black rocks All your big Institutional money managers That have money You know obviously flowing in and flowing out With 401k plans and everything else, right So They're required to report what their If it's a net Sell side or net buy side So these early indications Don't really mean anything It's the one that That shows 10 minutes to the bell That they're actually locked into And it's exactly what we saw yesterday Where We go back here I don't remember what the early indications were Yeah so here we go So the early indications Yesterday Were 341 million sell side 341 million sell side Which anything under a couple Billion dollars is nothing In the grand scheme of things But then the last one came out and it was 6.5 billion to the buy side And we saw that massive run up At the end of the day So It doesn't really, really when I've seen It mean anything is A It's got to be over at least a couple billion In one direction or the other And You'll see market movement a lot of times If you see it flip from sell to buy Or buy to sell Now is there anything you can really do about it Well not really But that's That's what it has to do with Yeah exactly Naughty Dog Launch one and two getting close to stop reduction Yeah the orders go In market as market on close orders So right at the Right at the bell But the market obviously reacts To that Which is what we saw yesterday Go back to 92 Launch one up 36 40% getting close Currently trading at 6 80 I'm looking for 640 So on trade steward what I'll do here is Once this hits 40% I'll reduce my Stop And I'm lowering it down to $3 Over the current price Which would be 940 So I would reduce this To a Minus 1.25 below the I don't know if it necessarily Causes an overnight gap It's usually If you see a big movement In the last 10 minutes A lot of times it's based on that though Of course there could be Obviously a continuation off that too If it's Really big but it's kind of the normal Inflow and outflow of assets Launch one down to 6 60 I'm looking for 640 48 It's 43 So I'm going to go ahead and move my stop to Minus 1.25 So that makes it $1.25 Under the open so it's $3 Over the current price So stop one Trunch one reduced Trunch two also is to the point of getting reduced So I'm going to Move that to $7 Which is 45 cents Over the open Change that to .45 So we got stop one and stop two reduced Trunch three Gets reduced as well Two dollars over So we got in at 625 Call it so 825 560 65 All three tranches reduced Yeah Allison, yeah I like it Except for Fact that you still have to Manually manage the stops Once that Hopefully Trailing stops comes it'll be very Very nice. So on trade Steward everything is based on the opening Price as far as How they're shown like in Option Omega it's always based on the Current price so If you're reducing it to $3 If you're reducing it from $4 to $3 It's now it's you've moved That stop to $3 over The current price So for for power hour Ratcheting down like this You still have you'll always have to do that Manually I don't think they'll be able to Say Once it hits us I mean Even think they'd be able to but I'm not sure that that's going to happen You think you think the bot would be able to do that 15 minutes till the bell Posted my 3 5 DTE So I'm gonna stick with the 3 5 and 3 6 Skip the 3 7 So the last one I'll do is a 5 7 I'll give that a few minutes before I enter Yeah man that 6 7 is already up 8 and a half percent Launch 1 2 and 3 are all Still up a little over 40 percent My PM iron condor is up 69 percent Just right here between 90 and 95 Mr. SPX The VIX is kind of expanding here Tiny bit I'm gonna go ahead and get in my 5 7 so I can focus on power hour Just one toss Alright all my calendars are done You back up above 90 Little buddy Just above 90 will work There you go Easy easy Alright 5 minutes till I'm gonna go ahead and jump out of trunch 1 Filled at a buck 20 What was that one No filled at 440 Got filled on a buck 20 on the 90 95 So I'm on the 90 95 For trunch 2 and 3 still in Oh yeah hit 90 percent On my PM iron condor That's what that was Nice I'm gonna settle under 95 here Final market on close and balance 240 million buy side So nothing Yeah I just ended up doing it A single calendar Pushing above 95 It's this right here Market on close and balance So that's the total of all the firms It doesn't individualize them One at a buck 60 2 minutes till the bells Where I have my bot set Must have been trunch 2 Oh that's trunch 3 So still holding trunch 2 See if I can't take trunch 2 to the bell Oh no there it goes 65 cents Closed it out Nice Look at that tomorrow first day December It just had to get it out of its system in November Paying us in December already Alright so how that shook out Was Trunch 3 made $6,595 Trunch 2 made $4,200 Trunch 1 made $6,250 So what is that a $16,000 power hour? Just like the old days, just like October PM iron condor made $4,200 Made $935 on one of my re-entries $1,100 on one of my re-entries Minus $315 on the re-entry JSP's minus $660 Re-entry minus $1,000 And the AM ratio got me for minus $5,800 All in all for zero DTE Plus $14,480 for the day Very nice Now my Now my kid can have a birthday present He wasn't going to get a birthday present at power hour loss So He's lucky Alright so live stream I don't have the new live stream calendar out I'm going to get that done here Before the end of the day So you'll see that out soon But everyone have a fantastic weekend And We'll chat with you soon Take care


I think that college is a time to explore all of your very interests and with over 180 majors in Ohio State, I think the exploration program gave me a wonderful opportunity to explore all those different paths. You know, coming out of high school you're only going to know a couple different majors, you know, 20, 25, the big ones that are most common, but it's oftentimes those ones that you haven't heard about that are going to be the ones that, you know, might fit best. We have it as a program that helps guide students who are unsure about the major, whether they don't know at all what they're going for, whether they have a couple ideas. The University Exploration is a program tailored to students who either don't really know what they want to do yet in college or have a good idea of what they want to do but just don't know which major to select yet. A lot of universities have the opportunity for students to be undecided, but our program really makes it more of an intentional, active process so that the program that they end up choosing, hopefully, is something that's going to be a great fit for their interests and strengths. The University Exploration is a program where you come in and if you don't know what you want to major in, they really help you explore what the university has to offer, what majors are out there, what your interests are to help you find the right major for you. You are met with an advisor who specializes in this sort of thing to help you work out what classes you should schedule while you're still trying to decide. It's a program where students are already able to give advantage of advisors who have a wide variety of knowledge about all the different majors on campus. There are activities tailored to students who want to explore different majors and really they're just there to provide help as you explore options in terms of your academic career. So instead of just coming in and kind of being in the sink or swim atmosphere where it's kind of all on you to find out what you want to do, they kind of give you resources and exploration to figure out what you're interested in and point you in the direction that made those interests should point you. You have the ability to explore just the entire university and what it offers. It's a really neat program that I think is unique to Ohio State.


Page 235 any questions from the homework you want me to go over the homework that I said was hugely crucial and important Now I gave you a lot. Hopefully you found though it started to get fairly Repetitive or fairly mundane. I hope so. I think I said to you last day my goal was that it becomes Boring for you and or you then that's that's where we should be at Any of these any of these any of these? Yeah, I Heard G and H 3 G and H left to 3g 180 degrees right there What's the reference angle do you think? zero Yep H negative 270 degrees You know right there, what's the reference angle? No, remember reference angle is either measured there or there in this case because it's the same distance either direction, but 90 it's always measured to the closest x-axis in this case both axes are the same distance away, but has a reference angle of 9 Weird ones, I know we don't use those ones very up. Is that okay? excellent Any others Then turn to lesson three Combined today With Monday's lesson and I said to you that that really for the next Three well for the next month and a half I'm not going to be teaching you anything new after that I'm going to be simply showing you different ways to use what you learned Two days two classes ago last class today and Monday today is Applications of reference angles and the cast rule and for those of you that were away last day Here is a quick explanation of what we meant by reference angles We said that the reference angle if you were in this quadrant that was your reference angle If you were in this quadrant that was the reference angle If you were in this quadrant that was the reference angle if you were in this quadrant That was the reference angle you guys have lines there. Do you not? Yeah, for some reason mine vanished and there is no hard rule to calculate the reference angle if you're in this quadrant The reference angle is your terminal angle Here in this quadrant. It's a 180 minus the reference angle gives you the rotation angle or here it's rotation angle is 180 plus the reference angle here it's 360 minus the reference angle gives you the rotation angle I actually don't memorize those Holly when I do the sketch I can just eyeball it and realize oh I'm here it's gonna be the that 360 minus gives me that okay so it says memorize I can figure it out by drawing a picture we also introduced the cast rule cosine is positive all of them are positive only sign is positive along with cosecant and tangent and cotangent are positive oh and I guess secant is positive down there cuz secant goes with cosine where do we use this why do we need this why am I doing such a big song and dance about this turn the page and get out your calculator on your calculator can you find for me the tangent of 40 degrees and give it to me to five decimal places please Amanda would you get point eight three nine zero nine is that right is that right I've seen people look puzzled yes no what's after the nine oh can you round off properly Amanda my physics kids we're all going round off properly is it is it that yes okay now that also means if I told you that the tangent of some mystery angle was point eight three nine one zero you should be able to find the angle by going second function point eight three nine one zero can you try that does that give you your 40 degrees close we've rounded off it's not exactly 40 but close yes if I say the cosine of 82 degrees is can you find the cosine of 82 degrees to five decimal places Andrew would you get point one three nine two to five decimal places that should mean that if I told you that the cosine of some angle was point one three nine one seven you should be able to go shift cos of that and does that give you 82 degrees back yeah Katie can you find for me the sign of 160 degrees to five decimal places please I heard point three four two zero two and of course that means that if I tell you that the sign of a mystery angle is point four three two zero two that should absolutely give you that hundred and sixty degrees back yes oh does it no wait a minute mr. do it when I go shift sign of point three four two oh two doesn't give me a hundred and sixty degrees back it gives me twenty degrees back by the way the reason is you see there's two angles that have a sign of point three four two zero two and as a matter of fact there's two angles that have a cosine of point one three nine seven and there's two angles that have a tangent of point eight three nine one zero and your calculator Cassandra is programmed to only give you the ones between zero and ninety and it was never an issue in grade nine because when you're dealing with triangles your angles were all between the zero and ninety just like that was also meant they were the reference angle we need to tell you all of this and here's what we're going to ask ourselves what if I tell you that the cosine of theta is point four five six three two nine there are two angles that have that as a cosine and my calculator can't tell me the second one the cast rule and reference angles can't this is what we're going to deal with we call that a trig equation when I give you an equation where the variable is an angle we call that a trig equation and we're going to start to solve those today here's what it says to solve a trig equation step one is to determine the quadrants the angle will be in by looking at the sign of the ratio actually what I'd like you to write next to step step one in capital letters we're going to use the cast rule step oh in the heading here it says solving equations involving sine or cosine the method I'm going to show you works for all of them which is nice and it's actually a fairly clean easy method so step one use the cast rule it's much easier instead of reading this they're a little bit verbally expensive a lot but too much English easier to do it example one the equation they want me to solve is this sign of mystery angle equals point five ah but they have to add a domain restriction because when I said that there's two angles that have the same sign or code section actually lied you could keep going around and around and around and around you keep finding co-terminal angles there's an infinite number of angles that actually satisfies this equation so what we're going to do from now on the TS is we're going to give you a domain restriction and usually it's going to be between zero and 360 usually we're going to say go once around the circle and quit every once in a while Jessica they'll change the domain so keep your eyes open but 99% of the time once around the circle and quit first thing I'm going to do I said is write the cast rule C A S G Jessica which trig function did they give me in this question sign and according to this question was my answer positive or negative positive where is sign positive what two quadrants I know that the answer is here or here actually both both the answers are in those two quadrants so I'll draw that and if this was multiple choice and there was any answers that had angles bigger than 180 I would cross out those answers that's step one the cast rule step two says find the reference angle here's how we're going to find the reference angle remember the abbreviation I used last day for reference angle there's my abbreviation for reference angle our theta and that's going to be on my calculator the inverse sign of point five when you go inverse sign shift sign of point five on your calculator what do you get sorry Amanda 30 Amanda that's telling you the reference angle that's telling you this angle here and this angle here because that's how reference angles were defined there's going to be two X answers I'm going to call them X one and X two and the first answer starts from the positive X axis and goes to my first drawing Andrew how big is that have to be one of your answers is 30 degrees Shannon my second answer starts here again and goes right to there how big does that have to be well how big is my reference angle Shannon 30 and how far all the way to here how uh-huh so if that's 30 and that's 180 how big in your head yes by the way that's your calculators can you find the sign of 30 is it point five very quickly can you find the sign of 150 is it also point five and that's the only way to find that second answer find the reference angle and use the cast rule to figure out what quadrant we're in oh that's what step three is saying determine the rotation angles using the reference angles in the bottom lots of writing easier to just do example 2a first thing I'm going to do is draw the cast rule C a s t it's a which trig function did they give me was signed did the answer work out to be negative or positive negative so where is sign negative here and here oh and if this is multiple choice and there was any answers less than 180 I crossed those out you will find sometimes Sabrina on some questions you may be done you may notice that there's only one answer that has one angle between 180 and 270 and one angle between 270 and 360 you may notice there's only one quit has to be that I almost always won't give you one like that because that's a bad question in my mind every once in a while those have slipped through on the provincial I need to find the reference angle the reference angle is going to be the inverse sign up and here is the key here is the key we already used the negative to figure out where we are we do not include the negative to find the reference angle we do not put the negative right there we find the positive decimal shifted sign always we're not going to use the negative in this one to find the reference angle we're not going to use the negative in this one to find the reference angle we're going to use the negative to figure out what quadrant we're in what is the reference angle for point eight zero nine zero step oh I thought I heard you say it which one 53 point nine nine would round off to what Stephanie 54 it does say to the nearest whole number so the reference angle is 54 degrees and Steph reference angles are always to the x axis it's telling me this angle and this angle are 54 here's the first angle starting from the positive x axis right to there Carson how can I calculate it now he said 180 plus reference angle we're going to write that in your homework if you want to go straight to the answer go ahead in our notes let's write down that we went 180 plus 54 so that when you're studying you know what the heck we did and can you in your head go 180 plus 54 I think you can 234 Carson the second angle is you that big how could I calculate how big that one is 360 minus 54 and I even would argue you can do that in your head Carson 306 let's check can you have find the cosine of 234 can you guys try the cosine of 306 and we should get very close to negative point eight zero nine zero maybe a bit off because we did some rounding is it right you really should have been done okay you guys check you guys yes does work anybody give me actually tried it you actually did try or you just nodding your head hoping nobody knows he didn't type it in you try it no come on check it you guys cosine 306 we need to find out those works yes a bit off but yeah and course of 234 yes is very close to negative point eight zero nine zero you know first thing I'm going to do is Castro C A S T Shannon which trig function to give me in this question negative or positive according to this question where is cost negative here and here right it's fine the reference angle now the reference angle is the inverse cosine of not negative point eight zero nine zero just point eight zero nine zero what do you get for the reference angle 36 and again it's all that's telling us that those two angles are 36 degrees because reference angles are always measured to the closest x axis how big is theta 1 how can I calculate it how can I calculate it 180 minus 36 I'll do that in my head 180 minus 30 is 150 minus say 144 yes how big is theta 2 theta 2 is that big it's gonna be 180 plus 36 216 also works for candid try this one on your own I won't freeze the screen if you get stuck you can look up I'll just do this but see if you can try this one on your own no quick and easy way to find both answers without reference angles and cast rule there are other ways but this is the second quickest but least memorizing stuff way the best bang for your buck there is a quicker way you can memorize there's actually formulas or if you know one sign you can find the other one if you know one coast you can find the other coast with you know one tan you can find the other tan by subtracting or adding multiples of pi to save one whole second not worth memorizing three new formulas how many got that okay excellent here's the nice thing not only does this work for sign and for cosine and for tangent this same method with one very minor tweak will work for turn the page reciprocal trig functions like cotangent or cosecant so example 3 find the measure of angle a and once again we're between 0 and 360 cotangent goes with which trig function this is the same as 1 over tan a equals 0.5 I'm actually not going to teach you how to solve cotangent or cosecant or secant all I'm going to teach you to do is how to change it into sine or cosine or tangent why why learn something new when I can turn it into what I already know now to solve and tidy this up I would cross multiply don't write this next bit down I'm going to do this the long way and then I'm going to show you an easier shortcut that is worth memorizing so if I cross multiplied I would get 1 times 1 equals 0.5 times tangent yes and then how to get the tan by itself here is the easier way if they give you a reciprocal trig function but he is flip this and flip this at the same time in other words that's replace it with tangent replace that with 1 over it yeah what trig function did they give us here cosecant goes with what sine replace this with sine replace this with 1 over negative 2.86 that's the quick and easy way instead of cross multiplying and three lines later ending up there I'm saying for what it's worth flip both sides you flip the left side it becomes a nice trig function flip the right side just becomes one over whatever you have easy that's what we're gonna do so I'm going to erase this this this and this and I'm going to say hey this is really just now I know 10 sorry I know 1 over point 5 is to who cares Amanda if it works out evenly I'll just leave it as a fraction anyways because most of the time it won't work out evenly and I'm going to go to my calculator what trig function did they give me cotan not cotangent what trig function did they really give me tantan okay casserole C A S T Roxanne according to this question was tangent negative or positive positive what quadrant is tangent positive in and give me the numbers because you need to learn the numbers anyways sorry I disagree sorry I partly agree yes what ah here and here because there's gonna be two answers now I'm going to find the reference angle the reference angle is going to be the inverse tangent of 1 over point 5 now familiar right same old same old reference angle 1 over point 5 63 degrees to say yes that's in your whole number which means that this angle and this angle are 63 degrees a1 equals a2 equals ready Holly here we go here we go here we go here we go here we go Holly how far oh that was easy how will I calculate that one and I'm gonna argue I think you can do that in your head you can you can use a calculator if you need but yeah they could be done 180 plus 63 to 43 yes now the reason I'm encouraging stuff in your head this first trig test is going to be non-calc right I'm Mr. Duke how will we do that step we're using a I will be eventually showing you a way that we can do certain angles without a calculator and even going backwards so but so I am encouraging you to be able to I think it's fair game to expect you to go 180 plus 63 degrees without a calculator successful if you can't suck it up raggie what trig function they give me and be really not cozy can't what did they really give me I'm gonna replace cozy can't with sign and flip the other side and now it's a question that we've done before cast rule by the way the most common mistake Roxanne kids remember to flip this side they forget to flip this side and now you've completely changed the question now you're saying sign a equals that no no no no it was coasts you can't equal flip both sides raggie what quadrants are we in according to this question a sign negative or positive what quadrants are we in right right right yeah good take it the rest of the way folks I'll do it quietly here remember don't include the negative in your reference angle I even checked my answer the cozy can't one divided by sign of 340 degrees to point negative 2.92 pretty close to that I figured we'd be a bit off because it's not exactly 20 degrees it's almost 20 and a half degrees that's about as big an error as we'll get by the way what if you put the negative in there you get weird stuff for example if you went inverse sign of 1 over negative 2.86 you get a negative reference angle which this time matches that decimal but it won't always and reference angles aren't supposed to be negative we use the negative here to figure out what quadrant we're in we don't use it here to figure out the reference angle time for the curve balls where does this method no longer work this will work for any angle on the planet except when this number here is a zero a plus or minus one or an undefined then the bets are off usually Ashley what that means is your answer is either this or this or this or this you're right on one of the four axes and those don't really have proper reference angles like the question you asked me earlier today the system breakdown example for this Andrew can you read for a to me please yeah we're gonna say theta from now on right you see that cozy can't theta is undefined this is one of the curve balls or if it had said cozy can't theta is zero be a curveball or if it said cozy can't theta is one or negative one okay our cast rule no longer is going to work instead we're going to have to fall back on x and y and r and so I say to you cozy can't in terms of x and y and r is one over one cozy can't is whatever what sorry I heard here Amanda what this question is really saying is r over y is undefined that fraction is undefined what makes a fraction undefined divide by zero if they're telling me that cozy can't was undefined what are three dots me therefore they're telling me that that was true so we put that little chain of reasoning together we're still gonna sketch but I'm gonna draw a little dotted line circle that's the arm swinging its way around what angle or angles as you're swinging around we'll have a y value of zero now your y value is how high you are what you're really saying is as my arm is swinging around when is my arm zero high here which is what how many degrees here and you can't find that with reference angles and the cast rule because there are no real good reference angles there oh and besides how the heck would you type in undefined into your calculator to find the reference angle in the first place doesn't really work cos theta is zero cos theta equals what well alarm bells gonna go off now in this unit when you have a trig equation and the answer works out to a zero or a plus or minus one or an undefined Shannon your little heart should start racing and you should be saying to yourself oh mr. duick says cast rule is not gonna work I've got to go yr and x and so Shannon now that you've calmed down I say to you cosine is what over what in terms of x and y and r it is and I want that with more authority and confidence in your voice next time what this question is saying Shannon is x over r equals zero it's saying this fraction worked out to zero what would make that fraction work out to zero it's when the top is zero the fraction equals zero the top is zero the fraction is undefined the bottom zero hey what's on the top here ah therefore x equals zero once again we can do a little sketch we can imagine mr. duick's arm swinging around in a circle in the answers to this question are where my arm has an x coordinate of zero here yes here no ah here what two angles 90 and 270 see hey what's weird about c squared now first of all put your pencils down look up I have to show you some notation if I write this I don't know whether I'm supposed to go ten squared sign of a hundred or sign of ten get a decimal and square that so as mathematicians a long time ago we said if you mean the sign of ten times the sign of ten put the squared there and I'll know you're telling me to square the actual sign decimal if you mean the sign of ten times ten put the squared there okay problem if I try typing that on my graphing calculator I get an error the only way to type it on your graphing calculator is to type this left hand version is to actually go oh if they want me to go sign squared I've got to go sign ten sign ten because multiplying it by itself that is squared sorry so when this says sign squared this is the same as an equation like this a squared equals one half what kind of an equation is this and how do I know quadratic how do I know it's got a squared now normally I'd make a quadratic equal to zero although no no we didn't do that for every single quadratic if we just had a squared term we took a shortcut we got rid of the squared how square root both sides what's the square root what's the square root of a squared what's the square root of sign squared what's the square root of one half it's not this I have to remember something from now on whenever I square root both sides what did I have to remember I heard it because when you square root both sides here the answer was actually either positive one half square root of one half or it could have been negative one square root of one half we didn't know who's in physics with me in physics we square both we square root all the time we ignore this but that's because almost always it's a t-squared can I have a negative time well I started to shut up can I have a negative time no so we just we ignore that although in the vf squared equals vi squared plus 2 ad there was at least once this year where we square rooted vf and we said oh it's going down we want the negative answer not the positive answer we actually did want that one and we rejected the positive one so in physics we're in context there here because I don't know where these numbers ever come from I have to assume plus or minus step which trig function did they give me sign and according to this question sign can be positive sign can also be what how many answers am I looking for four actually that kind of makes sense because a normal quadratic gave me two answers a trig quadratic which already gives me two answers a trig quadratic should give me four answers actually that that kind of there's some nice symmetry there because a normal trig was already given me two yes so I think a quadratic trig should give me four reference angle the inverse sign of the square root of a half or point five and I think this one actually works out bang even I have memorized a few angles I think this one's 45 yeah so what we were saying is this angle is 45 this angle is 45 this angle is 45 and this angle is 45 ready Sabrina there's my first angle how big is theta one 45 nope there's my second angle how big is theta two 135 yes yes yes how big is theta three how will I calculate it 180 plus 45 which everyone knows is 225 and Sabrina theta four this one I will make you actually figure out yourself I think it's 360 minus 45 which is 315 absolutely quadratic tricks now next unit we're actually going to spend like four days looking at quadratic trig equations but the yucky ones that you have to factor or quadratic formula here we're just going to give you a quadratic that only has a squared term it doesn't have a non-squared term so you don't need to make it equal to the square root of those that's application of number one of the cast rule and reference angles we can solve trick equations yeah Carson said I think I noticed a pattern I notice I add 90 to each one to get the next one it will always be that if it's a quadratic sine equation with a one half as your answer it's the fact that our reference angle is 45 degrees otherwise we can't use that trick every time I wouldn't bother memorizing let the obscure ones only gonna come up once in a while to turn the page three more what up Katie not only can we use reference angles in the cast rule to solve trig equations with I would say a fair bit of writing but not that much having to think it's a nice little algorithm just be careful Holly follow all the steps and it seems to take care of itself we can also use it to find exact values like example five says given that the point negative three comma two lies on the terminal arm of theta on the values of the primary reciprocal trig functions in other words they want me to find sine theta cos theta tan theta those are the primary trig functions oh they also want the reciprocal trig functions which one goes with sine cosy can't theta which one goes with cosy can't theta oh yeah and cotangent goes with tangent all right I wrote that down it's no longer blank Matthias I feel better even though I haven't really started the question at least I've yeah I've written something down what did they give me in this question Matthias what did they tell me a point what is the point that they gave me no no what's the point that they gave me what's the point that they gave me what comma what x is negative three y is two they gave me this point right here and they told me the arm goes through that point yes I'm gonna say that same thing differently what I said to you out loud was x is negative three y is two and it goes through there I'm gonna say it this way by writing it but instead of is I'm gonna use an equal sign Matthias what's x what's why it'd be wonderful if I could also use that to find our it would be neat if there was some kind of an equation that related x and y and are together fact I think this Amanda are is the square root of x squared plus y squared which is gonna be the square root of 9 plus 4 you're really reaching for a calculator what is 9 plus 4 and they did say exact values which means they don't want a decimal they want that root 13 by the way Andrew technically our should be plus or minus the square root of that but it's a radius isn't the length by definition always positive so once again we've taken this number in context and ignore the negative that is implied all right do I know x do I know why check do I know are check well then sign is what over what more specific in this case sign is what over what and cosecant will be root 13 over 2 cosine is what over what x over are in this case negative 3 over root 13 and secant will be root 13 over 3 don't put the negative on the bottom a negative in a fraction belongs on the top or in front it's just good math matters tangent is y over x 2 over 3 negative cotangent is negative 3 over 2 negative 3 over 2 by the way what's positive in this quadrant sign and cosecant are they everything else should be good is it oh I got a little error check to make sure I haven't made a mistake kind of built in skip 6 example 7 I like example 7 I like example 7 number 7 is a nice question if the tangent of theta is that and secant is positive find Jessica what are they asking me to find and I'm pretty sure it's going to be a why over our question what did they give me tangent by the way tangent is what over what what they really told me was this except Andrew one of these must have been negative which one let's find out shall we tangent according to this question Andrew negative or positive which means I'm either here or here and secant according to this question what positive I don't have a rule for secant what a secant go with cosine this is really saying that cose is positive so where is tangent negative and cosine positive well cose is positive here and here where's the overlap Holly if I'm down here is my x positive or is my y positive where did this negative come from I'll give you a hint listen to what I say if I'm down here why is negative isn't it that negative this I didn't know who it belonged to came from there which means sine is going to be negative 3 over oh do I know x do I know why Amanda is there some lovely equation that relates x and y and r together really what or as I like to say r is just the square root of x squared plus y squared which is the square root of 2 root 5 squared plus negative 3 square and it relax let's do the easy part first Steph what's negative 3 squared now what's really bugging you I'm guessing is this this is actually nice and easy to do you know how I do it Steph what's 2 squared what's root 5 squared root 5 times root 5 is just what not 20 it'd be root 25 which is what 5 that did it get ready see what I want to take you what's 2 squared say that's allowed what's root 5 squared just plain old it's a 4 times of 5 because it's 2 times root 5 all squared is going to be 2 squared times root 5 squared it's 4 times 5 in fact in my head no calculator required what is r what is 20 plus 9 and r is root 29 think about what we've just done we don't know the angle yet we were able to find and they could have asked us any trig function we could have found in fact we did find any trig function one question ago planning all the trig values as exact values even though we don't know the angle we need to practice this I'm fortunate to give you lots of practice on this one all two all three all four all five all duck yes six all the duck seven all I'm gonna skip eight oh mr. you are so kind nine so one to seven nine you have the remainder of class my children hopefully that made sense to you though


The hybridized program was being explored at an exploratory stage between 1980 to 82. It was, I really recall the experience that during the Board of Trustees meeting, the chairman of the board would come normally about a couple of days before, like on Friday and spend the weekend here when the board meeting starts on Monday. And I remember Dr. Clarence Grave or the chairman in 1981 and on Saturday morning he had this routine of taking a ride at Irreform looking at what is going on and there were many scientists used to work even on Saturdays in the field. And that was the season in April 1981 I think that was the time that I was trying to convince myself and also present the experimental evidence whether hybridized would be a practical option for the tropical rice farmers. And I was looking at my trial and about maybe around 11 o'clock in the morning and he passed by and he stopped. I saw him in the field and he did know at the time Dr. Neil Brady was the director and he did know that Irre was trying to explore about hybridized and everybody was asking Irre about hybridized. So he stopped and I showed him the trials and showed him certain hybrids that were just experimental hybrids and compared to the high yielding variety like year 36, year 42 and so on. And when he saw it that time when he was really convinced that yes there is something to it and then he had aligned with Neil Brady after that visit and during that he mentioned that I saw the hybrid program in Irre and looks like there is some promise and then the following week after the board meeting was over then Neil kind of organized a GU scientist meeting and visit to that experimental plot and I think that was the kind of turning point when the management as well as the board of trustees got convinced that yes this is something serious that we should make a commitment. That's one example of how things came into being and then brought the commitment to hybridized work at Irre.

From theCUBE Studios in Palo Alto in Boston, connecting with thought leaders all around the world, this is a CUBE Conversation. Hello everybody and welcome to this CUBE Conversation. You know, in our last breaking analysis, we worked with ETR and they put out a new forecast on IT spending for 2020. The consensus coming into 2020 was for a 4% increase. Based on the survey that worked they've done with CIOs, it's now down to 0%. Surprisingly, about 40% of the CIOs and IT practitioners that they interviewed said they expected no change in IT budget for 2020 and a surprising 21% said they actually expect to increase spending as a result of work from home infrastructure. Still a very large portion of the survey sample said they're going to decrease spending and that's why they're now calling ETRs, calling for a flat spending in 2020. Clearly, one of the challenges are those companies that are exposed to supply chain disruptions, whether it's manufacturing or retail or certain CPG or industrial. And with me today to talk about specifically supply chain within the storage market and within pure storage is Mike Fitzgerald who's the VP of Operations at Pure. Mike, thanks so much for coming on and talking about this important topic. Oh, thank you, Dave. Good to see you, good afternoon and good morning. So take us through what you're seeing. Well, first of all, what's your role? VP of Operations, you're in charge of supply chain, is that correct? Yeah, I have all of the supply chain, all of the manufacturing logistics distribution network at Pure. So what's going on with, what are you seeing in the industry, talking to your colleagues? I'm sure you're discussing this with your peers. Give us the high level in the macro and then we'll get into what's going on with Pure specifically. Well, certainly they're, within early January, we started to hear whispers out of the parties that there were gonna be some potential implications with the supply chain. So at that point in time, we did a lot of actions and activities at Pure to try to stay ahead of that, with speed being one of the key things that we wanted to make sure we were focusing on. But the industry as a whole, there was a lot of focus over the last several months and how do we make sure that not only do we understand what our risk is in the Far East slash China, but how do we mitigate that risk? And then as we've transpired and things have gotten to where we are now, is the risk has become more of a global risk in terms of a supply chain management role. So is it really, was it the exposure to China? Was it really NAN supply? Because that's been sort of zigging and zagging for the last several periods. Can you give us a little bit more color on really what you were paying attention to in terms of some of those hotspots? Yeah, well, one of the things we tried to do early on is the design of our supply chain at Pure, we've tried to diversify that. We've got a portfolio based footprint across the globe. Early on, we took a lot of steps to minimize the amount of reliance on China. A lot of that was driven by tariff implications, but certainly it's become our friend as we've gotten into the situation with the COVID. So a lot of actions and activity in that space to make sure that we've got a responsive supply chain in place from a global perspective. On the NAND, there's a lot of discussion, a lot of actions and activities in relationship to NAND. Certainly with the rising price, the market demands, what's going on with the supply versus demand ratios. But one of the things that we have a huge advantage of at Pure is that we build our own SSDs. So NAND as a component is what we're buying, which is not directly related to what I would call China shortages. A lot of the NAND is not built in China that we consume and put into our SSDs. So are you saying that Pure is not having any kind of supply chain disruption or you're managing that? What are you doing there specifically and how much of that is just sort of reduced demand versus your approach to supply chain? Can you address that? Yeah, we are not seeing a reduced demand right now. And one thing, kind of an overarching statement is we have plenty of supply available right now. We are in our portfolio, is it standard lead time? And so we've got product in place. As a matter of fact, we've seen an uptick in some of the demand streams, specifically in BDI, as well as in Pure as a service for less human element, the BDI certainly for the work from home type of scenario. So we're actually seeing what I would call more of an increase in demand with shorter lead times driving us to put product on site in emergency situations. That's interesting because a lot of suppliers that I've talked to have said, look, we are going to manage this by communicating increased lead times to our customers. You're saying Pure is actually seeing the opposite. You've got good supply and you're seeing strong demand and you're able to meet either on time or even an accelerated pace, did I get that right? Yeah, absolutely Dave. Actually over the last three days, the weekend, we've had three separate installs into locations on an emergency basis where we've responded in less than 24 hours and gotten product on site installed and saved the customers from running into situations where their work from home staff was not able to come up. You know, Mike, you've obviously got a lot of experience in the space operations and supply chain. You've done this for a while. Pure as a company does a lot of things differently. I've been following them since the early days of Pure but I have to be honest, I've never really dug into Pure's supply chain approach and any differentiation you have there. How would you compare Pure's approach to others that you've seen in the industry, maybe either historically or what you're seeing today? What are you guys doing that's different? Yeah, well, we've designed our supply chain to be a responsive supply chain with the recognition we're growing roughly 20% year over year. We're leaning into the supply chain to be able to not only enable that growth but to be able to enable surge. So some of the things that we do in designing the responsive supply chain, we talked earlier about making sure we have the right manufacturing footprint and that we've got the right risk mitigation so that we can have that portfolio approach related to diversity in this footprint. But we've actually staged material in the supply chain intentionally to enable us to be able to surge in response to demand increases. We've done the same with capacity. So we've actually leaned into our network and increased capacity to be able to absorb surges in demand, which is certainly paying off for us now in this situation where early on in January, we started seeing the signs that we were gonna have some demand constraints. So we went out and placed buys. We went long, is probably the best way to put it and tried to make sure that we were stocking up accordingly. So that if indeed there was a constraint that happened or a constrained environment that we had product available and that's what's paying off for us right now. Mike, is that a brute force decision making process? In other words, is it more gut feel from your tribal knowledge and experience at this? Are you using analytics in any way to inform sort of where to turn those knobs? Well, it's a little of both, Dave. Some of it is, I've been in this game for a while. I've seen these before. So we knew early on that it was time to pull the trigger. So we did. One of the advantages we've got at Pure is we're a small team, we're a nimble team. Decisions can be made today and implemented this afternoon. And that's basically the way that we did it. We got the right stakeholders together. We made some conscious decisions on what we were gonna do to try to mitigate the risk going forward, pull the trigger and now we have supply available and we continue to shift. I wonder if we could talk a little bit come back to that VDI. I mean, as I said at the top of this, we saw from the ETR survey data that work from home was one of the few areas that was really picking up. And it wasn't just video conferencing. It was VPN, it was networking bandwidth, it was security infrastructure to support that work from home capability, et cetera. And obviously VDI is part of that. I wonder if you could talk a little bit more about that not only in terms of what you're seeing for your customers what is pure doing in just in terms of remote support and other things, where are you focused there? Yeah, well, two things. I'll talk about the VDI solution. We've got solutions certainly that we're offering into the marketplace, which as I said earlier, a significant uptick in demand. And I think many would say that storage is the backbone of an effective VDI solution. And that's what we do for a living. We've also got several different solutions that we're implementing or having customers implement to simplify the implementation of the VDI. And one of our key things is we're simple, we're easy, we can put things in place quickly. As I said, we're loading data centers in hours versus days. The other question, Dave, about the support and I'll view that in two different areas. One, the implementation of existing product or the support related to that. Our support network is 100% up and running right now. We have componentry, we've actually forward stock incremental componentry into the depots to make sure that we're able to support our key customers. One of the models we've got is we're an essential business that is in the business of supporting other essential businesses. Critical infrastructure, focusing on that to make sure that if for some reason we lose a logistics channel in the country that we've got components there so that the support infrastructure stays in place and we're able to keep our customers up and running. So I wonder if you could talk a little bit about some of the assumptions that you're making here. I mean, we have a saying sometimes hope for the best plan for the worst in your business, that's probably apropos. What are some of the assumptions you're making just in terms of planning for the worst? Well, we're doing early on it was all about making sure that you could get the line of sight on supply and making sure that we've got capacity available. We did a lot of work on making sure that our alternate sites across the globe were able to absorb what we couldn't get out of our China suppliers for the time being when we had the constraints there. But at the same time, we are now recognizing as the COVID expands, the COVID, excuse me, the incidents that we're in right now, that there may be some demand delay or demand destruction in the future. So what is our risk profile and relationship to that? So that's something we're doing as well. But right now we're more focused on what is it going to take to make sure that we've got supply available for the customers that need supply now? So one of the, I mean, I'm sure you had a lot of KPIs but if you had to really focus in on the top ones, the two or three that you're really focused on that kind of, you look at every morning when you wake up, where is your focus in terms of KPIs? Right now it's, we're in a different environment than we were in, let's say three months ago. And right now it's product availability and that's in responsiveness to customer needs. In a normal environment, I would say it's cost, quality and delivery. That's a typical supply chain mantra, the three legs of the stool. But right now, certainly we're not minimizing the impact of having to have excellent quality. But what we're really focused on now is making sure that we are providing product into critical infrastructure, essential customer sites. So it's all about availability. I would say the majority of my day is focusing on what do we need to do to make sure we've got product available for the marketplace. Well, Mike, we're seeing the people around the world, not only in the United States, but globally, respond to this crisis. We're all doing our own part. Clearly you're, I assume before you were waking up, that assumes you were sleeping and I know you're not getting much sleep, but I want to thank you for coming on and sharing with us some of the things that are going on with Pure. Keep up the great work, your customers need this. I mean, storage is part of critical infrastructure. And really appreciate all the effort. So thanks to you and all the team at Pure. Well, thank you, Dave. I appreciate it. Have a great day. You too. It's great to have you and thank you, everybody, for watching. We'll keep broadcasting here daily from theCUBE Studios. This is Dave Vellante with this CUBE Conversation. We'll see you next time.


Okay, so We are in Ephesians 5 and Verse 25 Husbands love your wives just as Christ also loved that church and gave himself also a lot of you know wisdom and Perspective to how to you know the role of the husband and the wife and the you know the Outlook of the husband and the wife towards their own spouse so very very wise counsel and You know the revelation Which is which is really you know what? What we actually share with every couple Planning to get married and and this is like this is like a formula for success of their marriage right, so if they would follow this diligently and Knowing that the Spirit of God is empowering them to do it right put to death the things of the flesh So the flesh was of course always you know try to Rebel against this the world's culture and world's values will be you know making fun of these things You know like okay husband has to boss husband has to you know in certain cultures right husband has to You know sit around and boss and then be served to And and so on right but then we see something very very different very radical In the way God sees marriage and God wants to see you know these kind of this Outlook in the husband and in the wife It's something God wants and so he's saying husbands love your church just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself for her And you know he gave himself undeservedly he came in himself, you know unconditionally in and Sacrificially and so on so that is how the husband is supposed to be in and Then and this is how the wife is supposed to be you know the wife submitting to the so when the husband Is leading with this kind of Leadership It's always for the betterment of the wife. It's always to serve and it's to love and to edify and to you know so Because if you look at the next verse 26 that he might sanctify and cleanse and so what is he's what is what is the Lord doing? He's a Lord who's actually beautifying the church right is is presenting to himself a better version Or the best version of possible of the body Of of the church so the husband also in loving in sacrificial loving is also You know these things are happening right? He's actually Setting apart the consecrate For the the wife and with all his attention and and love and and so on so So it's something which which causes marriage to thrive this is a design and this is how God intended it, you know Well, people have actually taken the first part of the instruction abused Abused it right say okay wife submit Abused it and made you know made fun of it There's been so much of damage to the body of Christ because of it to the believers because of that right so And you I mean you can take any part of scripture and then you can you know twist it around and use it for your own selfish You know needs and then you know that doesn't glorify God. We know for sure right doesn't glorify God right so so this is what This is the instruction that we have if you look at verse 28 said says I'm sorry 27 if you see that he might present to himself a glorious church So the way in which Christ ministers to the church the way in which Christ loves the church It's actually beautifying the church changing the church You know and so the church is brought to a better Transformation happens and the best version of the off the church happens You know the church doesn't remain the same changes for the better The way in which Christ loves the church So that's the expectation You know the way in which the husband loves and serves and and honors In in their relationship that changes the wife for the better There's transformation that's happening Okay Okay, so verse 28 So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies He who loves his wife loves himself. So here's another here's another aspect to loving the wife saying as their own body So no one hated his body so as You love yourself. You love your wife. In fact, you know They're going to be it is actually they are one flesh in the marriage covenant. They are one flesh And so so the so here's the thing, you know, this is how you love As you love your own self now the problem is now if I you know, I am If I if I have a problem Accepting myself and if I have a problem Loving myself if I have a problem You know with that, you know, if there are deep in deep-seated emotional wounds or the most emotional pain where I'm not counting myself worthy of being loved by the Lord, you know, or if I'm constantly putting myself down There is low self-esteem You know my in terms of identity if I'm still going to be seeking something approval of man and not comfortable with my own self Then it's going to be difficult for me to love the wife as my Myself because I'm not accepting myself. I'm not loving myself So that's the other thing. So the thing is the so the best thing to do is to you know Receive healing from all those maybe emotional hurts of the past emotional wounds of the past Receive healing be made whole so that The relationship can also thrive look to God for approval not for man, right and Be secure in who you have been made and who you belong to That is you belong to Christ and you've been made the new creation in Christ So being secure in all that is very very important right so that Your relationship with your spouse It also thrives. So you see, you know, if if this doesn't happen the vertical Relationship with the Lord and what he has to made us what he has changed us If that is not strong if that is you know, going to be shaky then it's going to affect Your relationship with your wife as well. Okay, so so that's the important and therefore You know, so Paul, you know, I when we studied first Corinthians and second Corinthians, we saw that Paul is saying, you know, do not be unequally yoked No, this is another aspect of it. No, this is the reason don't be unequally yoked with the unbeliever So how can you be unequally yoked? I mean, how can you go on if you're unequally yoked because that person is going to not going to receive that love and Healing and self-worth and identity, you know from Christ and so How are they going to be in a strong place of? Even sharing Right sharing that love and and how are they going to do that? Okay, so verse 28 husbands ought to love their wives as their own bodies He who loves his wife loves himself, right? No one hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it So this is this is let me just share the notes so this is something that that is expected of the husband to nourish and Cherish to nourish means to to actually You know bring in nutrition, right to to make sure that there is You know to feed to make sure that there is, you know proper Nutrition, you know and yeah nourishment is talking about emotional nourishment as well, you know emotionally You know physically in nourish and to cherish cherish means to look at something as precious like to care for something as precious right To to hold something dear and precious to oneself, right? Suppose you have a I don't know maybe some somebody gave you a you know a present and something that is of great worth and value It's something that is precious, right? You are careful with it Right, you are you don't treat it care carelessly, you know like actually someone gifted me this guitar, right? it's a tailor and a friend actually You know if it means a guitar when It's completely took me by surprise and you know that you know this Taylor guitar is it's quite an expensive guitar It's quite an expensive one. It's a great. It's a good guitar. So I When I play with it, then I wipe it clean and I put it back in the case I make sure that I'm careful with it. You know, I don't treat it Carelessly, right? So it's something that I cherish It's of great value. It's it's a great guitar And I make sure that it's it's protected and I make sure that I value it I like it and I I make sure that it's no harm comes to it in the sense, you know, it's not damaged in any way I make sure I maintain it well So the whole thing of cherishing has that idea so saying husband is ought to nourish and cherish their own Wives, you know verse 29 for no one hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it just as The Lord does the church. So this is what the Lord does to us That's the reality.   Christ does So this is what is expected of the husband as well. So you see so when the husband loves Sacrificially just like rice love the church when has a husband nourishes the wife when a husband You know cherishes the wife And it's no problem. It's no problem for the wife to submit to yield Do such a kind of leadership? All right, so so this is this is God's a recipe or ingredient for for marriage The design for marriage. So to this something that Paul shares with the you know with the efficient church To the believers. So this is what you know, you need to this is how you need to be in marriage, right? So which is again You know quite a paradigm shift because the Jews actually considered women to be of a lower You know lower Strata right they were as women to be in equal to man And and so on so that was the general Jewish You know mindset, but here It's all, you know, it was totally, you know being changed by God by the Lord as he had his encounter with God and and you know completely You know bringing in the revelation first of all salvation by faith through Salvation which is by the grace of God and through faith and that itself was another radical thing for a Jewish Mine because it was all about laws and keeping laws and doing all those things and Rituals and so on and so that is self and here we see you know bringing in this is the picture of the husband and the wife Right, so so we see all sharing that relation with the church. Okay Let's let's look at the further So he says we are members of his body of his flesh and of his bones For this reason a man should leave his father and mother was quoting from Genesis and be joined to his wife And the two shall become one flesh. Okay, so so this is another aspect of marriage that the two becomes one Okay, and and and the thing is that he's saying this is a mystery How is it the two different people, you know when they come into the covenant of marriage? They they actually, you know, this is this. This is what happens. They become one So Which means that if I'm doing anything Harmful for my spouse I'm actually hurting myself If I'm hurting my spouse if I'm spitefully Saying something doing something, you know, I am actually hurting the relationship, of course But above all I'm hurting myself because I am one flesh with her, right? So so this is and then Paul says in verse 32. This is a great mystery But I speak concerning Christ and the church So the Lord considers the church the believers to be part of his body, you know, that is why, you know, we read many when we read Paul's encounter right with On the road to Damascus It's very interesting, right? So he says Accepted nine and verse four. Okay, if you can read Now here is Saul.  He has fallen off. He fell to the ground and Heard a voice saying to him Saul Saul, why are you persecuting me? Because the Lord is saying who was Paul Saul persecuting He was persecuting those people who are following Christ Right all those people who are following Christ. He was persecuting. Now here is what Jesus Ask Saul Why are you persecuting? The Lord didn't ask why are you persecuting the people who are following me said? Why are you persecuting me? Okay, and that is what we see here Right, this is a great mystery. I Speak concerning Christ and the church Chapter five verse 30 saying hey They are one body. We are one in the spirit And those who are in Christ are one spirit with him So this is what it is. This is the reality and this is This is a mystery. How does it happen when a person believes in Christ puts his so her faith in Christ? becomes one body One spiritual body part of the spiritual body of Christ It is placed in the spiritual body of Christ is one spirit with him the spirit of the Holy Spirit comes in in dwells This is the reality and this is why the Lord Jesus asks all why are you persecuting me? Okay, my body, these are people who are part of my body. I'm connected with them You are persecuting me. I'm the head of the body and these are members of the body Right. Okay. Nevertheless Let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself and the lead the wife see that she respects her husband Okay, so he finishes all those instructions In in in there, okay, so there's about the husband and wife, right? So we move on to chapter 6, right next Okay, so we move on to chapter 6 Let's read the first few verses children obey your parents in the Lord for this is right honor your father and mother Which is the first commandment with promise that it may be well with you And you may live long on the earth and you fathers do not provoke your children to wrath but bring them up in the training and Admonition of the Lord Okay, so children obey and honor your parents in the Lord Okay, and as we As children as we grow up and as we have earthly parents. We are still children, right? For our parents and we are still expected to honor Our parents in the Lord. Okay, so we continue to honor our parents Even though they might be elderly even though they might be quite senior as long as they are here They're alive on the earth. We are we are to as children. We are to honor them. Okay, so as we As we honor them, you know, of course, we we are we become independent like financially We are not dependent on them anymore. Maybe As we, you know, maybe get it get work and we we earn for ourselves and maybe we Move and we live separately. So we're not dependent on them in that that manner And they are maybe at one stage they become dependent on us, you know, we support them and we We get we continue to honor them and so on.  Yes, you know, we we are We have to obey, right? And there are but as we grow, we make our own choices And it says obey your parents in the lord. That's do if if parents are You know Especially, you know, parents are asking you to do something which is contrary to the word of god, you know, which is Which is totally opposite Right, the instructions or something that they're asking us to obey is contrary to the word of god contrary to You know, god's ways Then we We have right not to obey. Okay, because it says very clearly obey your parents in the lord honor your father and your mother And yes, there are certain times that, you know, as long as it's not sinful as long as has it not Uh, it's not something that is against the word of god, right? Um, so what is the thing? Yeah, what is the outcome of that? It says that honor them, uh, you know, when we go to, um Sorry, uh, yeah six and worse two, right? Yeah So do you want me to talk about how? Uh, it is do you want to be five and worth 16? Let's uh, let's just go there Okay, do you want me to have to five and worse? You're 16 and the lord gives the commands commandment This is honor your father and your mother As the lord your god has commanded you That your days may be long and that it may be well with you In the land which the lord your god is giving you so so here's a promise that comes with Uh with This instruction or with this command to obey your parents, right? So it comes with a promise that it might be that it may be well with you So the lord wants to You know fulfill this part of the promise that may be well with you that you may live long on the earth Okay And here's a instruction for fathers, especially says fathers do not provoke your children What does what does that mean provoke your children to wrath? Which means that the provoke is to do something in order to get a reaction I do do something maybe to tease maybe to uh, you know do something so that You know, you provoke a reaction from them. So here the reaction is wrath Don't provoke them to anger. Don't do something just to you know Maybe tease them or you know say something do something So that they become angry and bitter right so Do not provoke them to wrath But bring them up in the training and admonition of the lord. So We see the husband's being you know Being priests in the house Uh, I mean well both the husband and the wife are you know, we are a royal priesthood as redeemed As redeemed people We are kings and priests unto the lord So we take that rightful position as priests in the house as well Right that responsibility. We don't as men as husbands. We don't you know, put it off on someone else right We take that Place that take up that responsibility to train To bring them up In the training and admonition of the lord Okay to Sorry, um, so which means that uh, admonition meaning A warning or a rebuke um, so what the lord Wants what the lord does not want right so to direct them To nurture them nurture the children so Well, sometimes, you know husband say, okay, I don't want that responsibility You know, let someone else take care. I'll provide for their needs. I'll discipline them and and but you know, this thing of in the lord Bringing them in the ways of the lord. I just want to give it to someone else Maybe my wife will do that or maybe the grandparents will do that or maybe you know, the children's pastor will do that no It is the responsibility of of the parents and specifically here we see that It's a responsibility of a husband To do that right so bring them up in the training and admonition of the lord Okay, next we see um, something to do with an employer employee relationship, right in that kind of maybe a work setting here. It's talking about bond servants, of course it's talking about a Time when they were Culturally, you know, they they had slaves and they so that is what it means the the the spawn servant the word use their do-laws means A slave right someone who was subservient someone who was living in subjection to the master and so on So here is saying, you know spawn servants be obedient to those who are your masters according to the flesh with fear and trembling in sincerity of heart as to Christ Okay, in sincerity the heart as to christ, which means that you know in that work So today we can actually apply it in our work place Relationships with our boss Okay with who was Kuma who was overseeing, you know our work Maybe if it's ministry, it's you know who was overseeing our work and our ministry So who was there in that place? So saying be obedient According to the flesh in sincerity of heart as unto christ. So Let it be sincere. It's and then he goes on to say it was six not with eye service as with Yeah, not with eye service As men please us But as bond servants of christ doing the will of god from the heart So so this is this is what he means when he says, okay Be bonds be You know serve And be obedient in sincerity of heart. This is what is what he means by sincerity heart Which is not with eye service, which means that you know when people watch Or people are observing me then I behave in a different way right, I'm I'm Doing things in a different way But when people are When I'm not being watched Then I behave a certain way You know if if my work the quality of work Or my hours of work Um the kind of effort that I put into work If it's going to be different when people are watching Then when people are not watching, you know in the in a sense when people are watching Maybe I'm putting in more effort and people are watching I'm being more careful more diligent because somebody's watching Um, and then if they are not watching then if I'm going to be Slacking off, you know, I'm not going I'm not putting in as much effort I'm not put putting in as much quality or excellence in it then I'm actually doing eye service men pleasers And I'm that is how That is my output. I'm just being a man Man be people pleaser I'm being a people pleaser Because they are watching I do this, right? So there's not as men pleasers not with eye service but As born servants of christ Doing the will of god from the heart. So so to the born servants. He's saying you are actually born servants of christ So you do the will of god From your heart Um, so God's will is for you to Give you a vest Whether people are watching or not because he is watching Do the will of god from your heart Okay, verse seven with good will doing service as to the lord and not to men Knowing that whatever good anyone does he will receive the same from the lord Whether he is a slave or free and you masters do the same things to them Giving up threatening Knowing that your own master also is in heaven and there is no partiality with him. Okay, so it's a It's a win-win situation both for the employer and the employee So to the employee, you know, the one who is actually being employed in in a particular place Serving in a particular place. He says that this is how you serve you you do it as unto the lord Not to man because that's the truth Right, but you whatever you're doing. So which means that You know, you look at it, you know, the work that you do You know, there's uh, there's nothing secular Although we might use that term to describe You know a person who is Maybe not in so-called full-time ministry, but then in the eyes of the lord The work that we do, you know, it could be whatever sweeping swabbing Whatever work it is Maybe we are employed somewhere Maybe, you know, we might we might look at it as something very very unspiritual saying or what is You know, what's what's the thing about this? Maybe, you know If I'm going to be preaching and teaching and praying then then the lord that gives me favor Then the lord would you know, we pleased Well, that that is not so I that's not so we know right right from the old testament daniel was Yeah, you know in in administration of of the nation We saw joseph Being a minister a prime minister of that nation, right, so They were indulging or doing work. They were engaged in doing work, which today we would say that is so unspiritual You might say that is unspiritual, you know, they're What is spiritual about it? But then here we see, you know, you're doing it as unto the lord With goodwill doing service as unto the lord knowing that whatever good anyone does He will receive from the lord now the lord is watching And the lord is saying, okay He will receive, you know, I'm going to bless this person because of the kind of work that they're doing Because they are doing it as unto me Right not to please people Okay, so it's it's so any work that we're doing when we do it as unto the lord It is the lord who blesses it is the lord, you know, anyone who he will receive from the lord Whether he's a slave or free, you know, that's a very encouraging thing that Well, whatever kind of work that I'm doing I could be working in the field I could be doing some agriculture. I could be a, you know, taxi driver. I could be a cook I could be, you know, working professional in an IT company. I could be a doctor whatever teacher I could be taking, you know Care care of someone in an orphanage or an old age home whatever work I'm doing I'm actually supposed to do as unto the lord because he is my boss Over and above an earthly boss or an earthly employer. He is the one So I'm supposed to do it as unto him as, you know, knowing that he's watching me all the time Right. So when I do that, you know, I receive from him So this will change the way We look at work. It will change the way We work And they change the way the kind of effort that we put into work right so And the best part is this verse nine you masters you do the same things to them Okay So you also do the same things in the sense you let your outlook change Masters you give up threatening Okay, or don't you treat them well In other words, this is what he's saying. You treat them well.  So you better be a good boss To the employee the way he is good to you you be good to them Right the way he has been gracious to you you be gracious The way he has been forgiving you be forgiving The way he has been compassionate you be compassionate, right? Well, it's also same also true in the sense, you know, when you look at john chapter 15 the lord is looking for fruit Right, so it's it's not a bad thing to expect the employee to To do well To hold the employee accountable to the tasks Okay Maybe it's a timeliness of it. I want I need to finish it at a certain time I want this kind of work to be done it is it is not wrong like john chapter 15 and and Right was was too every branch in me that the bear fruit he takes away and every branch that bears fruit He prunes that it may bear more fruit Right and then a I am the true wine and the father's wine dress of course the verse one and then he says in In verse four, you know abided me and I knew as the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the wine Wine neither can you right and Which means that the father is actually looking for fruit My the father is looking for fruit is looking for productivity And that is his expectation Right, that is his desire that is his expectation so And and he's observing. Okay, this is fruitful. So I'm going to prune that it can be even more fruitful Okay, so that's his expectation. So As my heavenly father Is expecting that you know of me So I can have that expectation for uh, I mean For whoever I am Overseeing okay, it's nothing wrong But I do that in an honorable manner I do that in a you know in a loving manner. I do that I could do that in a in a manner that's firm But I need to speak the truth in love Right, so so these are things that we understand Okay There's so much that we learn about work about work relationships here. Okay, so now from worse 10 onwards He's just making a shift now from the natural relationships and you know Natural things is is shifting to something You know, uh, that is happening in the spiritual realm in the spirit world spiritual realm So let's look at that. You know, it says finally my brethren Verse 10 Finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might Put on the whole armor of God that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against powers against the rulers of the darkness Of this age against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore Take up the whole armor of God that you may be able to withstand In the evil day and having done all to stand Stand therefore Having girded your waist with truth having put on the breastplate of righteousness And having shored your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace above all Taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one And take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit Which is the word of God praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit Being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication For all the saints and for me that utterance may be given to me that I may open my mouth boldly To make known the mystery of the gospel for which I am an ambassador Inchains that in it I may speak boldly as I ought to speak Okay, so a lot of instructions here in this passage and and a revelation about the spiritual reality Okay, a revelation about what is happening in the in the spirit world Okay, so let's look at verse 10 says finally my brethren My brethren be strong in the lord and in the power of his might Okay, the good news bible says is finally build up your strength in union with the lord And by means of his mighty power build up your strength be strong okay, so So what he's saying is build up your strength in union with the lord be strong in the lord So what is the you know the strength of the lord is it's supernatural? Right the power of the lord the strength of the lord is is something that is supernatural that is not natural ability So saying in the lord you are in the lord be strong Okay, be strong in the lord and Says and in the power of his might. Okay, so the word use there be strong is Is something that is derived from dunamis in dunamo, you know, which means you know, dunamis We know is a is the power of god, you know, which makes things happen. It's like the creative power of god So saying you be clothed in that you'll be strong in that you'll be empowered by that right Be strong in the lord and in the power of his Might and that when the word power is talking about strength dominion Etc. Right be strong in the lord meaning empowered by the dunamis power of god and And in the power of sorry be strong in the lord refers to that and then And also in the power of his might reverse to You know the word strength The word it can even be vigor and so on it means force Right kratos That's the word which is used there and kratos of his might Okay So that word is again a different word. So he's using three words. You're strong be strong He's using a word called in dunamo means be empowered by the By the power of the lord the dunamis of the lord and then He's using another word and in the power of his might So the the word used there that power is kratos which means strength of force and Again, he uses another word Which is might Which is icsus which means sorry iskhus which means force or strength or You know ability and so on so the ability of the lord So what is he saying, you know You have your natural ability Okay, you have your natural strength fine But be strong in something else Okay So what is he saying be strong in the supernatural ability of god? Which is you know, which is the privilege of every believer you and I to come to the place of being built up In the supernatural ability of the lord Such a privilege god is all powerful god is all mighty And it's for us Because we are called to be partakers You know of the divine nature We are called to be, you know, we are indeed one spirit with him the the supernatural god The holy spirit in dwells us. So it's it's for us. We can be strong In the lord and in the power of his mind So Paul it is exciting, you know, you have so you have natural strength. You have natural abilities You have natural way of doing things according to your physical body But now I want you to you know shift to another realm It's a supernatural power of god. It's the indunum or dunamis of god It's the schools of god. It's the kratos of god, you know, now you be strong in that You have to increase in power in that right In your union with lord Okay, so Yeah, so be strong in the lord and in the power of his might Okay. Now, why is he Why is he saying, you know, why why is he asking the believer to do that? You know, he's going to ask the believer to Do something else. He says in verse 11 put on the whole armor of god That you may be able to stand against the schemes against the wiles of the devil Okay, against the schemes of the enemy against the Deceptive strategies of the devil Now for that you need to be strong in this Need to be strong with spiritual You know spiritually you need to be strong You need to be strong with the supernatural strength of god the supernatural spiritual ability Has to come from from him like you be strong in that And put on the whole armor of god God has given you an armor which is You know all then and he uses the imagery of the roman soldier a roman soldier he is talking about You know The the pieces of armor each individual piece is using that kind of a picture You know what a roman soldier would wear As part of the armor. So he's using that picture and And and he's and he's talking about this right so he's saying okay So you put on the whole armor of god Okay, so roman soldier would Would carry a belt And the the belt would be about six inches wide and it would it would help to Keep every part of the armor in place tight in place Right So that you you are comfortable and nothing is shaking and nothing is dragging You know just it's all tight and snug and tight and and you're you know, you're confident Okay Every part the you know, the breastplate was held in place the show the sorry the sea shield was also, you know It was also hung on from one side of the belt When which was not used and so it's like the belt was a very important part which which really part of the armor which actually Held every piece of the clothing and the armor together And the sword was also there When it was in the sheath when it was not used so so we see all this right it it's a kind of a Something that Holes everything together. Secondly, it talks about the breastplate So this for the roman soldier. It was two large metal plates Which cover the front and the back Or something that is worn in front and one worn on the back so It protected the you know the shoulder and Apparently this was the heaviest part of the armor and different designs and It and from the neck to the waist. Okay, and it also Below the waist it also extended as some kind of a skirt kind of a design. So You see that it's it was heavy. It was protective It was there both in front and back and the shoes the roman soldier The shoes had two pieces of metal One that went from the knee that covered the you know front and the side of the calf And went all the way to the foot okay, so Wow, it's like I wonder how they walked in all this, you know carrying all this weight So that was that was it at the bottom At the sole where spikes nails which are three One to three inches long and Also, these were these were also used, you know as weapons like inflict wounds on weapons and so on so That's that is a shoe. Then we have a shield. No, there were two kinds of shields. There was a small round shield which was a which was a shield used for ceremonial for for ceremonies the other one which was Which was almost as tall as the person right and And so it was made of several layers of leather or six layers of leather tightly woven together It was large. It was wide. It can protect the entire body. It was so tall protect the entire body and it was soaked in water Then and in the battle if there were arrows which were set on fire and which were fired on You know, which were shot at the This shield would actually put out that fiery Arrows which were shot by the enemy. Okay, so that's a shield and the helmet Helmet covered the head the face and protected the soldier Then there, of course we carried this sword Which was uh, you know, which was sharp which was two edges both the edges were sharp, you know Like that is your this is a sword this and this both are sharp You know our kitchen knives, you know one end is not sharp This there is a sharp end right which we cut the other end is not then this is a double edged sword Which means that both the both the edges are sharp he's uh, so it's a double edged sword and pointed and designed for inflicting Damage the enemy Then he also had carried a lance or a long spear Okay, which he could throw at the enemy like a javelin throw at the enemy and it would uh, you know, it would kill or You know wound the enemy from a distance so So the thing is that paul writes and he says put on the whole armor of god Okay, put on this whole armor of god that you may be able to verse 11 stand against the vials of the devil Yeah, that you may be able to stand against the vials of the devil So put on the whole armor of god be strong in the lord and the power of his mind Okay, we'll stop here and the next class. We'll we'll finish this And also we will start with philippines. Okay, philippines. There are four chapters Colossians, there are four chapters. We will go through them quickly And and then we will start with the salonians one and two Right. Okay. Um, so we so far we haven't actually put out diamond put out the question papers yet So both galatians and efficiency put it as you know separate papers Tests for the test for the and then I will let you know. Okay. Um, yeah, okay. Thank you. We'll stop here See you right. Bye-bye
