Hello everyone, I would like to welcome you all for today's lecture. First we would like to look at briefly what we did last time and then we proceed further. So in the last class we looked at some aspects of Claisen rearrangement and we looked at the mechanism of the Claisen rearrangement which is 3-3 sigma tropic rearrangement. So what we looked at it is if we have well substituted molecules like this which are allyl vinyl ethers and if we keep the geometry of the double bond fixed here and make a change here that means allylic double bond so we will get different products with different configuration. And obviously if there is an asymmetric center here and if that is a molecule which is a chiral molecule then the chirality gets transferred because it is a concerted reaction. So these aspects we saw and of course we looked at how the products change based on the change in configuration of the allylic double bond or even vinylic ether double bond if we keep the other double bond fixed. So if one of the double bonds is fixed the other double bond can be changed and accordingly the different products with different configurations come. Then we also looked at the aromatic Claisen rearrangement where allyl phenyl ether were allowed to and react in a similar fashion where the double bond one of the double bonds of the allyl phenyl ether was actually an aromatic part of it. We also looked at the mechanism part of it and especially from this solvent point of view that if we have polar solvents or hydrogen bonding kind of solvents such as ethanol, water etc. the reaction rate is enhanced and that is mainly because of the possibility of such type of intermediates or particularly the ion pair type of intermediate that is a slightly charged intermediate and therefore the reaction is much better in such solvents. Then towards the end we also saw the variation of Claisen rearrangement which is Johnson Claisen rearrangement and specifically I mentioned many times that if we take an allyl alcohol and react it with triethyl orthoacetate under acidic conditions and heat it then we get an intermediate of this type. This intermediate as you can see has the all the elements of the Claisen rearrangement except that we have an extra o ethyl group here and that is exactly what allows the reaction to occur and to form what we called it as that alpha, beta, gamma, delta. So gamma delta unsaturated ester so if we start with allyl alcohol and perform Johnson Claisen rearrangement we get the gamma delta unsaturated ester and we also took some examples of the application of organic in organic synthesis. Now towards the end then we saw the Eschenmoser Claisen rearrangement if you look at the intermediate this is the intermediate that is the intermediate which we can compare it with Johnson Claisen rearrangement. Johnson Claisen rearrangement intermediate was something of this sort where we had the ethoxy group and this is what led to the formation of gamma delta unsaturated ester and for this purpose what we had used was triethyl orthoacetate and here what we are using it is here actually there should be a CH3. So this is what we had used last time and what here is being used is two methoxies and two methoxies and a n-n dimethyl group and a methyl group here. So it is exactly same as more or less like this except that we have nitrogen here and of course a methyl group is there as expected and you have two methoxies instead of two ethoxy it does not really matter whether it is two methoxy or two ethoxy. So this is the reagent which is used in here and we saw the mechanism of it last time that this is what cleaves off and then of course the attachment of the this peer pair of electron takes place on to the carbon atom here and the positive charge gets neutralized to form this intermediate which is what is this one here and that loses the proton to form this intermediate of this kind which of course and upon rearrangement then goes to this. Now we can see here that you have alpha, beta, gamma and delta but it is gamma, delta unsaturated amide it is a tertiary amide. So you have a gamma, delta unsaturated amide. So what is the difference? The difference is that of course is that we have a possibility of reducing this amide to form the corresponding amine and of course we can also hydrolyze it and get the same ester or acid whatever we want it. But main thing is here that we can get the corresponding amine with this particular variation and it is not really done under acidic condition it is just reflux into alvein. One of the applications of this Eschenmoser-Kleisen rearrangement is the conversion of this type of molecules where we have a double bond at this particular position and if this is the intermediate that can form upon reaction with the reagent that we employ in Eschenmoser-Kleisen rearrangement then that undergoes elimination to form the disintermediate and that undergoes rearrangement obviously it is going to be from this side it is going to be here and then here and then here. So this is how it happens and we get this particularly molecule which is a quaternary carbon containing this amide group here and as you can see that the geometry of the particular this group here is beta oriented and in the product also it is beta oriented. So the chirality is retained in these products. So it is very clear that the reaction is occurring by the reaction of this alcohol on to this particular double ammonium ion and of course you get the product which is like this. So this is a beautiful application of the Eschenmoser-Facumentation. Now what can be done is of course is you have a very nice amide group here and you have an ester group here and both of them are beta oriented. Of course if one wants one can do the epimerization here and convert this into alpha orientation or whichever way one wants to manipulate the molecule according to requirement from the synthesis point of view. Now there is another rearrangement which is called as Bellus-Kleisen rearrangement and that is reaction of allyl ethers of this kind allyl ethers or allyl amines or allyl thioethers that means this oxygen this X can be either oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen. When this is reacted with a ketene then what happens is that the lone pair of electron on the allylic ether or amine or thioether and interacts it onto this here and clearly this moves out here. So what you have is a possibility of X group here reacting with a lone pair of electron coming on on reaction like this and this is what is formed and once that is formed now one can see it very clearly that what you have is your 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 and this undergoes the rearrangement as expected and you have the ring expansion and forming this kind of product. It is obvious that the geometry of this group here would affect the stereochemistry as the asymmetric center that is being created but interestingly this reaction occurs at room temperature as you can see because there is a very strong driving force for the double bound to move because there is a negative charge here at the same time there is a driving force for cleaving the carbon X bond which is positively charged. So the reaction requires not very high temperature and the reaction occurs at room temperature. So this is what is a variation of the Claisen rearrangement which is called as Bellos Claisen rearrangement. Now there is also an Azza Claisen rearrangement which is kind of an imenium ion can serve as a pi bonded moiety. Like for example if you have a methyl group here attached to this imenium ion here then of course we can deprotonate that. So there is a hydrogen here if hydrogen is deprotonated by butyl lithium then of course we can generate this type of intermediate here and this type of intermediate is now well suited. As you can see it is an enamine kind of thing with an oxygen also being here and then that undergoes a rearrangement. So essentially the all these reactions are nothing but but an arrangement of atoms in such a fashion that you have a possibility of 33 sigmatropic rearrangements where one can put hetero atoms of different kind and make the reaction work. Now here it requires high temperature because it does not have similar situation as we saw in the Bellos Claisen rearrangement. So it is slightly different. However of course depending on the stereochemistry of the double bond here we are going to look at the possibility of getting different absolute configurations at the center in case the cis or trans double bond. Of course this reaction is not a chiral reaction but we are only talking about the geometry based rearrangement to get to this product. Of course if this happens to be chiral center then of course we are now going to talk about the absolute configuration in terms of this one because now that will be a kind of diastereoselective reaction and of course if this influences the geometry of this one then of course we can look at and that is the reason why the diastereoselectivity comes into the range of 52 to 78% if this happens to be a stereodefined center. Now we have a Thaya-Claisen rearrangement where instead of azaclaisen rearrangement if we have a Thaya molecule something of this kind here then what is going to happen is we will have possibility of deprotonating a proton from here and then we react with RBr then we can introduce here an R group an alkyl group or any such a carbon-carbon bonded species and when this is heated with calcium carbonate then of course you have this Thaya-Claisen rearrangement and we can get a molecule of this kind which during the workup will get hydrolyzed and the corresponding aldehyde would form. Now this is somewhat related to the 2, 3-sigmatropic rearrangement of this kind where we have such possibility it is just to indicate that such a thing can happen and of course one can get if we have R group here. So it is related to this particular kind of rearrangement. Now what is the utility of these kind of reactions and the interesting reactions of this kind are in the synthesis of for example gamma cyclocytrial. Now here if we start with a 1, 3 diethyne which is basically a protected formaldehyde if we take formaldehyde and protect it with a thiol which is a diethiol. So if we can take something of this type then we can react them together to form this intermediate and this is a commercially available substrate where if we react with allyl bromide which is a very easy substrate. So then you have a lone pair of electron attacking onto this particular carbon and this carbon bromine bond breaks to form this sulfonium bromide where there is already a double bond. Now if we make anion from this particular substrate by reacting with butylethium then we expect that this particular hydrogen will be picked up and what we will get is this kind of anion and this anion can undergo the rearrangement and as we discussed above is the 2, 3-sigmatropic rearrangement kind of thing as we discuss it here. Similar reactions would occur here and to form this particular rearranged diethyne here. This is a rearranged diethyne which can be cleaved hydrolytically at this particular position and we can get the corresponding aldehyde here. So this is essentially this reaction or this reaction here requires that there should be availability of 6 electrons for electrocyclicization is kind of electrocyclicization here and of course the reaction is concerted reaction. Now if we try to look at the variations in terms of the application of such reactions in organic synthesis what can be done? For example, if we say that we want to convert and a formaldehyde into this kind of substrate. Now this substrate if we look at the previous example that we took we had here hydrogen here but we started with the corresponding bromide and we started with the diethyne here. So we have to recognize that whether we start with the corresponding bromide here or whether we start with alcohol. So it is very clear that we have to convert the alcohol into a living group and therefore it could be bromide or it could be mesolate or it could be tosylate. But at the same time in order to make a nucleophilic attack on to this carbon atom while we are thinking of converting this into a living group we also have to make sure that we generate an equivalent of the diethyne that is this particular diethyne anion we have to make it and therefore we have to convert this into this. So in an examination point of view if this particular reaction is given where this is to be formed then obviously one should also think about how a phenyl group is going to come. So from phenyl point of view one can think about it that we can start with the benzyldehyde and then we carry out the same reaction and we can probably make it easily with the same thiol diethiol that means we take this kind of diethiol. So if we have this diethiol so then we will make 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and the carbon number there 6. So we can make 6 membered such substrate and of course then we can remove this particular proton by butyl lithium and we can generate the corresponding species which you will be having phenyl ring here. So one can have a nucleophile of this kind. So either we have that as one of the possibilities that we can consider or we can think about such a possibility and later on after we have got the formal formal group here then we can do by reaction with phenyl magnesium bromide. So let us go with this so we can convert this by appropriately converting into a bromine as a living group and diethiol as a group here then of course we can get the corresponding this substrate here and then we have a positive charge here and we put here X minus X minus could be a bromide or could be a tosylate or whatever and now if we carry out the reaction here then of course we have such a possibility and then we can convert this product into then the formal group here which we discussed with Hg plus plus and H3O plus whatever water and then of course we can get the corresponding aldehyde here there should be directly there should be a carbon atom here. So we should get aldehyde here and once we have got the aldehyde here then we can carry out phenyl magnesium bromide reaction and of course then followed by oxidation any oxidation like for example PCC we do the oxidation here then what we will get is corresponding CO of NL. So this is how the reaction can be done on the other hand we can directly start with this particular substrate. So we will always have a phenyl group here and then we can we do not have to do this extra step here. So either we do the extra step to start with or we do the extra step later on. So this is how the application of such molecules can be expected to be looked at in the synthesis of different kinds of molecules and of course also from the examination point of view. Now how does the hydrolysis occur? How does the hydrolysis of this diethyne base molecule once we have activated the anion next to the sulfur this is what it is. So what happens is that essentially the one of the lone pair of electrons on this that reacts with the mercury plus and of course you generate this type of sulfonium ion and then you have a lone pair of electron here that opens up in this fashion and of course you get this intermediate. Now this intermediate is then attacked by water and water attacks and forms a kind of hemi thioacidal one can tentatively write the structure to be like this and what you have here is this intermediate which is not stable and then therefore it breaks here to form the ketone it regenerates the ketone and then of course you will have the thiospecies which is present here. In most of the cases this thiospecies is some sort of thiol but then in which we are not particularly interested in recovering at this stage because we are more interested in the ketone that is formed. However there have been reports in the literature where it is possible that if we convert instead of diethyne we take the corresponding sulfoxide that means we convert this sulfide into a sulfoxide by oxidation and then if you treat with HCl then what happens is this is the intermediate upon protonation takes place and then this particular lone pair of electron on this actually forms species of something of this kind where there is a sulfur-sulfur bond which is formed and of course you will have this and the positive charge here and you might say that okay let it be as it is here. Now this is the one that intermediate then breaks upon hydrolysis and the water then reacts in this fashion here. So you have water reacting in this way to form this intermediate which would look somewhat like this and then what you have is a hemiacetal as we discussed earlier time and of course this can just simply break off from here and you can generate the ketone and then what is observed is of course that you do get a 5 membered sulfur containing bond. Now the reason why I have mentioned is that such a reaction where the recovery of the ketone along with the formation of this 5 membered sulfur-sulfur bond is noticed and that has been utilized in the synthesis of a molecule called lipoic acid. It is a very important molecule and the synthesis of that in a very nice fashion has been deported by making use of this kind of reaction where the emphasis is not on the ketone but the emphasis is on the side product which is this diethyane SS bond containing a 5 membered this particular heterocycline moiety. So this is how the reaction of diethyanes occur and the usefulness of this is that we can do various kinds of sulfur catalyzed thioclasin rearrangement. Now we have another rearrangement which is called a CHENMAP rearrangement which is also known as 3-3 is phosphoremediate rearrangement or Stodanger-Clasin reaction. It involves conversion of an allylic alcohol to the corresponding phosphite ester and then via the Stodanger reaction to the rearrange allylamine. The driving force is the formation of more stable phosphorus oxygen double bond from phosphorus nitrogen double bond and this drives the reaction. Let us take an example if we take an allylic alcohol of this kind and react with this chlorophosphite in presence of a base then we get the corresponding phosphite ester like this which then reacts with an azide like Rn3 and forms an intermediate of this particular type via what is called as Stodanger reaction and then this undergoes clasin rearrangement to form this particular type of intermediate in which this phosphorus nitrogen double bond has been converted to the phosphorus oxygen double bond which is more stable than this particular phosphorus nitrogen double bond and thus this undergoes acidic hydrolysis to release the corresponding allylamine that means this particular bond gets cleaved. Now what is the Stodanger reaction? The Stodanger reaction is reaction of an azide with trivalent phosphine or phosphite and then that leads to the formation of this kind of intermediate which then leads to another intermediate which is of a four-member type which loses nitrogen gas to form this nitrogen phosphorus double bond and upon aqueous workup under acidic condition leads to the formation of triphenyl phosphine oxide and releases the corresponding amine this is exactly what has been utilized in this particular allylic alcohol case so we have converted the alcohol to the corresponding amine with of course a rearrangement and that involves the movement of the double bond from here to here and formation of a carbon nitrogen bond here so this is what is known as GenMap rearrangement so we will stop it at this stage and then take up the remaining part of this kind of reactions in the next class till then you take care of it and study these reactions carefully and till then bye thank you

Hi, it's Bridget. I am really, I really feel really relaxed and casual today, but I really want to talk with Elvis because I feel his energy. And I'm not sure why. Today is Saturday, June 30th, 2018. I don't know if June 30th is significant for Mr. Presley or not, but I would like to get to know him a bit. You know, I feel like I know Prince really well in the afterlife for his spirit energy. And I feel like I know Michael Jackson pretty darn well in the afterlife as well. And Elvis is another one that just has such a nice energy. And I like him. I've always liked Elvis. I don't know a whole lot about him, but I've always liked him. And so I'd like to get to know him a bit. And if you are watching this, you are watching this at Above Life channel. Be sure to subscribe. And it's important for you recognize or for you to know actually that you have the opportunity every week to watch new channeling videos with different guests. And if you subscribe, then you'll get a notification of that. So that's just handy for you to know. The goal here is to inspire your spirit and to fill you up with hope. I hope you enjoy these conversations. So this is going to be casual. Obviously, I just went for a walk and it's it's an I'm in Minnesota and it's a humid. It is a humid day. It feels like the middle of July. And it's we're just tipping into July, July here. And it reminded me of Tennessee. I've only been through Tennessee once. And it was hot when I was there. And I know I just had a client a session with a client from Nashville area. And I guess Nashville is like three hours from Memphis or so. And so I'm just I'm kind of feeling the vibes there.  And I say, I feel I keep feeling Elvis. So I don't know what to ask him. So we're going to have a casual conversation. I'm going to let you guys watch. Okay, so it's not going to be as like formal as it sometimes is. That's okay. It's like coming into a holiday week here in the United States. And so it's kind of feeling casual summer, finally summery in Minnesota. And I saw you right away Elvis. I appreciate that. He says, Yes, ma'am. So polite. When I first saw him, so he's over to my left side, he's kind of right in alignment with a pillar that's on our deck. It's a covered deck back here. And he's like leaning up against a pillar and kind of has his hands kind of really comfortable kind of at his waist. And he was wearing his white jump suit. And then as soon as I looked at him, actually looked at the energy and kind of zoomed it in a little bit.  And the jacket is like a, it's not a tuxedo, but kind of.  That makes sense to you guys. And then there's like a pocket on one of the sides. Trying to look, I think it's on this side. I think it's on the right side.  But there's not a handkerchief in there. It's just a trim on the pocket. And he's showing me a red rose. Oh, that's really nice. And I'm not sure if he's intending to give it to all of you to express love or thank you gratitude. He says, he's saying, he's acknowledging gratitude. Appreciation. Thank you. Thank you to the fans. He says, thank you. Thank you. He says, that was really sweet. You're welcome, ma'am. He's super polite. He's always polite. You know, you do know Elvis, you are like, in human years, you were like a lot older than me, right? You know that, right? But since you died in the afterlife, spirit can show up to you. However, you will recognize them and, and or can show up specifically to represent an era that they would like you to talk about, or they would like you to know about or feel the energy for. And so, and I feel like I feel his younger days. He looks younger when I'm looking at him. Yeah, he's younger. He just looked down. He's got such great structure on his cheeks, like very chiseled, like on his jawline and his cheeks, cheekbones and these lips kind of like the chin and the lips are a little more full on. Yeah, he's a good looking guy, I gotta say. Spirit, spirit in the afterlife, I don't know. I'm not swooning though. Let's just be clear. I'm not swooning on that. It's just nice, very polite. So I just I wanted to acknowledge your energy. So how do we, and I want to get to know you in the afterlife as well. Is there anything specific that you feel? Well, let's see, let me, how should I ask this? Oh, yes. Okay, so I have kind of a fun question. How about that? Instead of getting like all deep and serious and stuff since we're just hanging out outside. It's a nice summer day. So in the afterlife, there are a lot of musicians. There are wonderful entertainers that are in the afterlife now that are crossed over and I'm curious, have you all met each other? And how does that work? I mean, I know, I know, as a psychic as a medium that it doesn't like we're not all people and you guys don't just hang out like in a bar or something. I mean, it's not like that. It's not. There's none of the human characteristics in that regard. I understand that. But there's still a relationship and there's still connection. And there's got to be a way that we can portray and you can share how you connect with others who had similar interests other musicians like when they come over to the afterlife, and there's somebody that's like iconic that you would have respected. How does that work? Can you talk a little bit about that? Because I think some of us as fans really, we want to we want to imagine that you're all jamming out together. And when I've talked to Prince and John Lennon previously, they kind of talked about like, and actually Prince referred to Tom Petty, too, and his guitar skills and that kind of thing. So there's definitely this beautiful, respectful energy among you. But how does it really work? Like, are you hanging out?  Like, who do you hang out with? Like, I know it's not again a human form, but but as a spirit, how does that work? I know I talk a lot. I'm sorry about that. I have many words. He says, you have many words, you have a lot of words. Yes, I do. All right. It all just depends on what you like. He says, the different genres. He's showing me kind of what looks like a kind of like a bar in in Memphis down by the water. Looks like like kind of country ish country music ish blues, bluegrass ish, like esk, esk like. He says, you attract with you tracked with what you know. So if musicians die, and they leave their bodies and they come into full spirit, he says, it's easy to connect with what you know. And like, if you're a fan of somebody and in the afterlife, you would naturally gravitate toward that energy because it's common and something you know. And I think that we just build upon each other's energy in real supportive ways, you know, like a kind of like a band, like an orchestra, actually, not a band, an orchestra, because there's so many different variations, different instruments, different energy, different spirits create different energy in that orchestra. He says, he's kind of giving me this analogy. I really feel him in my solar plexus. So that's the tummy low tummy. And that's what intuition is. When you have a common purpose in your human status, the way that you live your life, when you move into the afterlife, it's similar in that regard. And you will be drawn to or attracted to what you know. Because what you know is, as you just mentioned in your soul, it's inside you. And that's your spirit just knows. And in the afterlife, that doesn't go away. It just becomes more natural. It's more comfortable. I would say it's more comfortable because you're not, you're not dealing with the crowds of fans and people and demands. And there's not the pressures here. So you can just be with other musicians and just be in this energy space. That's why I think he says incidentally, he says, that's why I think that music is so important to you.  Because of the incredible power, the healing power that comes through that energy, you use the word energy Brigitte, I don't really use the word energy.  But as an afterlife spirit, you can connect with me in ways that others cannot. And I'm okay with that. Using those words that are most comfortable for you, cheese. I do really I want people to understand that there's true pure joy in having that kind of freedom, that emotional freedom, that freedom from oppression, whatever your oppression is, keeps like, it's like looking inside of his lip a little bit. There's tremendous freedom. I would like to speak about the reunited, the question of being reunited with loved ones. I think that's something that's a subject that's near and dear to my heart. And had I known that for sure, I would have had more peace when my mama died. I wanted to believe, but the mind is so limited in its beliefs. It just isn't that powerful in the mind to convince you fully that God will reunite your family.  And you do not need to be afraid of facing your enemies. There's no villains here. There's no villains in your heaven. There's no villains. So Elvis, were you afraid of death? Were you afraid to die? I mean, had you thought about that, I'm sure sometimes when we lose someone so close to us like when you lost your mom, it can make us really question, you know, our own mortality. It did for me when I lost my dad when my dad passed away. And for the first time, I realized that I wasn't invincible, you know, like I'm a human person. And I was just shy of 30 at that point in my life. So I'm curious, were you afraid of death? Did you fear death? That's a good question. That's a real good question. I think, I think it's right to say, there's natural to be some fear, because the unknown is fearful. It's darkness, it's mystery, when you can't see the path clearly. But I think my faith in God gave me assurance that I didn't spend too much too many sleepless nights worrying about death. I knew my mama was that peace. I missed a terribly. And so I knew that when I died, it wouldn't be sad. Wouldn't be sad for me. Now it's true I'd leave my family behind and my daughter and my daddy and others.  I'm feeling like yes. I'm feeling like that's yes. I could be wrong on that. It feels like there's another man that was really dominant. I could be wrong on that somebody. I think it's your dad, though. You know, and that brings up a good question, Elvis, if you don't mind talking about that. In your life, there was a lot of focus around your mom and and we all knew how how close you were.  I guess I didn't I didn't know that until after we talked, I guess I don't think I did anyway. Maybe I did. I don't remember. But what about your dad? I mean, what kind of relationship? What did you have with your dad? And was it influential? And if so, how? How was it? Daddy liked to be behind the scenes. He didn't really want to be in the limelight. He didn't care much for the the fanciness of things. He just wanted to be comfortable. Daddy was a good man. He was a working man. He worked hard. And I think that maybe he felt a little bad when I can actually give and provide and give some things to my family that we hadn't had that mama didn't have. And I think maybe he felt a little bad about that. But he never took it out on me. He was never mean to me. He was a little hard on me at times. But I don't I don't think I was when I was a boy, you know, I mean, I did I was a little wild.  And I think my daddy just got on me a bit for that. But let me make my own he let me make my own choices. For the most part, even the bad ones, you know, everybody makes mistakes. So you know, you got to make those when you're young so that you don't make them when you're old. Everybody kind of got to have that little wild side and that kind of experience in life. But daddy he he supported me but he just he didn't really want to be a part of the whole music thing. And he didn't really understand it much. I don't think he really believed it could be what it became. But he never stopped me and he never he was never rude about it or harsh about it. But he wasn't a wasn't real vocal about it. In those regards. So I never felt not supported by my daddy. Daddy was a good man. Good working man. Hard worker, hard working man. He provided for his family the best he could. And I am I'm thankful for that. Maybe I worked hard too because of that.  Some things change because you don't have your mind that stops you and makes you go into kind of the thoughts, you know, the cycles of thoughts that you have and you don't want to feel depression here. You don't feel what you folks call depression.  They would get some pills to wake them up to do a performance, you know, I mean, and myself included, I'm not excluded from that. But I mean, that was pretty common practice. I mean, that was just the thing you did. That was normal.  That's just not that's pretty ridiculous to do that. You learn pretty quick that they're not going to work for you. You want to keep your body and your vocal cords in the best shape you can.   You make choices that are not so good, but you learn, you know, you learn from those mistakes. But it was just normal, you know, to take take what you need to take to get the job done and to give it give give you all for your fans. That's the most important thing. People need to like what you got. And then they buy in what you sell and basically they're buying your records.  That that feels good. He's feeling like the earlier part of his career has more joy energy and more excitement. You know, there's a lot of criticism from what I've heard anyway, I've seen on some of the comments on our first video when we talked about later on in your career, how the manager that you had, the Colonel, you talked about him in the first video, and I wasn't really sure who he was, but some of your fans have typed and shared comments and kind of versed me in that.   And what did you miss out on?  I mean, how do you feel about that now? I mean, I mean, how do you feel about that now? Reflecting back upon that time in your human life? How do you feel about that? Because everybody, everybody does the best they can do at the time. You don't really have the benefit of all this, this knowledge at that time that you make decisions sometimes, but I don't blame anyone, anybody for anything about my career. That's those are my choices. I made choices. And I felt very loyal to the Colonel. And he, he was loyal to me. I believe that he had my best interest that he really wanted me to do well. I don't, I don't question his motives because that's not for me to judge. I'm not the one to judge that. I know people have opinions about that. I've been told that. I was told that in my lifetime. But you got to understand when you, when you build the bond of trust with someone, when you take a man that is a word, that loyalty means everything. And that meant a lot to me. So I did what was asked to me. I was real tired at the end. The schedule was really, it was, it was rough on me. It was taking its toll. I wasn't as young as I used to be. I wasn't that old either. It was only in my 40s. But I'd say, I think I needed a break. Would that have helped? I don't know. I don't know. I'm not sure. Might have gave me excuse to pull away. More likely I would have been a recluse. Just pulled away from everything. And my fans weren't overwhelming or overpowering. There was such so much love, such good people. I really wanted to not disappoint my fans. That was real important to me.  They become part of your heart. And you can feel them and what they, they want and their desire for you to perform. It becomes part of your heart. It beats your heart. And I felt very loyal to my fans. And I really wanted to give back to them. And, and to be real honest with you, Ms. Bridget, it doesn't, it didn't really matter how I would give back. I just wanted to be there and share that that love, that stream of love back and forth, you know, it's just an exchange. It's pretty, it's pretty amazing. It's really hard to explain when you're live on stage, when you're live. It's really, it's a very difficult thing to explain. Looking out and just feeling that, that hum of cheers and people crying and signs and waving and you just feel so blessed. So very blessed. And I would never want to let any of them down. None of my fans are very important to me. Very important. They were like my family. They were part of my heart. He says, God, he is so sweet. I just want to cry right now. The energy is overwhelming. And now I see that red rose that he had symbolically. Now it's like on the lapel, his lapel. Oh my gosh, that was a really emotional. I don't know how to explain that. Well, Mr. Elvis Presley, you are a joy to speak with. You're so honest. And you do a very wonderful job of explaining human perspective from your spiritual viewpoint. Very, very good job. Very good job of explaining. I just I really appreciate that. And I appreciate you willing to be so honest and open. I know that the fans, the viewers here at Above Life channel would want me to tell you thank you so much. And thank you for all of your sharing your music and performing and for all that you did for so many people. You brought so much joy and so much love. And we, they I know they would want to say thank you. Thank you very much for all your human work that you did. And I want to say thank you for connecting in the afterlife and being open to that. I really would love to talk to you more. You just are just a joy to speak with. Thank you, ma'am. Thank you very much, ma'am. Thank you very much. Come on. He's like, are you going to do an impression? He's like, thank you. Thank you very much. And he kind of does this with his shoulders kind of thank you. Thank you very much. Doesn't really, I can't really do it.  Okay, you guys, for those of you who are watching this video, if you've made it this far, this was a casual more of a casual conversation with Elvis. Oh, so much emotion. That was beautiful. And wow, okay, I didn't really anticipate all of this. And so sometimes these are the best conversations to have with the afterlife. And remember, you can connect to for yourself, right? The purpose here is to inspire your spirit. And I hope that we did that today. And one of the most important things I really we would love for you to remember is that this is your life right now. This is your life. So live it. Thanks for being here. If you have any comments about this particular video, or you have some really great questions that we could chat with Elvis about in upcoming videos, please put them in the comments below. Thank you so much for being here.


Alright folks, tonight I want to share with you a very typical textbook bullish setup for an entry when something like this happens pre-market, you have to know that this needs to be in your toolbox in order for you to be able to play it. Now this was the XOM play call this morning. The pre-market activity showed action above 59.4 and why is this 59.4 important? I'm showing you this. Look, first of all, 59.4 is a line that exists from, look I'm scrolling back here. There was support and then it fell below in early 2020. Then it started coming back up, it blew through it and rejected it and then it came back down. So basically we're opening above the 59.40 and this is why it's important and there's room all the way to 62 before anything stops it from going up. So I'm closing in, zooming in here on 59.40 and it's 59.40 and also 59.48. Why? This is the high that happened, high that happened at 59.48 and then it rejected 59.40. I mean, we're very close, it's eight cents apart, however, look at how it's important. This is only a few days back, right? Again, this is Tuesday, which is yesterday. That 59.48 rejected and then again 59.40, let me zoom in here, 59.40 rejected it and then look at what happened after hours in pre-market. It went above it. So basically this is the typical move and this is why I'm telling you this is the typical move that you need to have in your toolbox and you need to be able to see it. Look what it does. Basically you have a resistance line, ticker is trading under the resistance line. Every time it hits it, it gets rejected. So that's what it does. And then one day gets through it. So basically every time it hit that line we were in seller's territory, computers and traders were saying, oh, this is the line we're selling. Soon as we get above it, these guys no longer have a reason for selling because they're above the original selling point. So now we're above it. What's going to happen?  Look what happened today. We were opening above it. We went to the line 59.48 and the yellow line is 59.40. This is why I told you it was important. We went right on it and then started going up, going up. So basically this is a very typical move. You will see these moves very often. Obviously you need to be bullish on the play. We were bullish on XOM. I believe that there will be a strong demand and gas over the next few months. And I believe XOM is going to take some good profit out of that. So this setup is prior resistance hitting a top and then through it down to test it and up. And we tested it right at the gate and up afterwards. So we alerted here the 60C because 60 was the resistance that we had pre-market. So anything above it was just gravy. So 60 calls for next week. We alerted at 69 cents and we ended up selling half in this area when we were a little above 100%. So we still have half our position for the rest of the move. But the idea behind all this is you have to remember that when this happens and when you have very little resistance above head, we come down to test it and then it shoots up. Then let me show you something. This is a typical move. Imagine this. We go up against it and then we go through it. This is pre-market. And then this is a pre-market high. And then right at the gate, instead of coming down to test it and going up, we do the opposite. We go higher. Now you have to look back. What's the resistance? What's the resistance point? In this particular case, the resistance point is very close to 62. No way we're going to get to 62 on this spike. We could have, but we're not. We went down, tested, get through it. In the event where we were to shoot through, this is pre-market resistance, shoot through and come back down, sometimes you will see all the way down to old support. So this, as you break through the old pre-market resistance, you would say, oh, this is where I get in because we're now in buyer's territory. Now this is the fake out. These are the tough ones. You have to look back. Is there any resistance point that we need to be aware of? If we get through the resistance point, then it's going to move further. If not, if it gets rejected, then you can move and look for something further down to find support on the way down. In this particular case, XOM did textbook rejecting prior to today. Move above on the pre-market, came down the test line, went to shoot up all the way up. So this was the XOM textbook explanation. Now this is the NVIDIA play. Comparing both plays, the XOM and NVIDIA is just to show you how when you have a tool in your toolbox, you saw XOM being bullish, broke through the line, came down the test it and took off. Now in this particular case, we were trying to find a bottom on NVIDIA and we had an analyst initiating coverage on it this morning with a PT of 800. This means some bullish move for NVIDIA. Now you have to take your time, look at it and this is what happened. I'm not going to cheat. This is the chart what it looked like before the market opened. So you know it started to tank at a certain point and that certain point is right there. That's where it started to tank yesterday, well if you call it on Wednesday before the market and then it started to tank. That was the support before the big draw. Now at the open this morning, this line, we're bullish because we're above it. So basically whatever happened yesterday is now behind us. So one would think that if we stay above that, we remain bullish. So as soon as the market opened, look what happened. It started taking off. It started moving up above it and literally I was kind of bullish on the play saying, okay, now it's going to take off. Remember what I said on the X1 play. This is the line. We were, well in this particular case, we were here, dropped under, went up, tested it and then we're taking off. This is what it looks like right now. However, I said be aware of what happened here. Is there resistance? Is there something, let's say it was like this. Is there a resistance point that could, let me start this over again, sorry about this, it dropped. It's taking off. Is there a resistance point here that will stop it from going up further, going to stop and then come down. I said it could even drop further down and then move up again. In this particular case, I'm going to show you there was this line 591.50. Look at it. This is what I meant. See it dropped here. However, there was another line of support that should now act as resistance and look what happened right at the gate. It went to the line, rejected it and came back down. Now I became very bullish on the play when it, see this green line, this long 200 EMA, how it was resistance here and then it became support. Basically, a lot of computers are trading, so they use it for support and resistance as well. So basically as soon as we touched it, rejected, we started moving up and then we really used this line as a support line. So this is when we alerted the entry right here for the 610 because 610 could have been a long shot on a longer play, but 610 for next week. This was alerted at 380 and I showed you the chart saying the top basically bridging back resistance back to the, down to support back to the double top. This is a clear double top. As soon as you reach that, either we do this and then up again, test it out or we reject it like we did today and down. This rejection is going to happen because here it happened, it's going to happen again unless you have extremely bullish nose, which we didn't have. So that's the very good point, very good area to take some profit. So we took it off at 595, which ended up being close to I believe 57% on the play. So remember, the XOM play was typical under, above, tested and up and this NVIDIA is a little different and it came down and then dropped, then up. Now it's support, then it goes up, but up on a previous line, you have to see these lines. These lines have to be drawn in your charts before you start trading and then it went down and this particular case, there was the long 200 EMA went down to it and then came back up the test line and this is where we took profit. So these tools need to be in your toolbox and I hope you managed to learn something out of it and use them in the future. Thanks for watching guys.


My name is Betsyma O'Connor, ac Eirol's role is with the partnership of six local authorities in the west of Wales and responsible for school improvement. We welcome the new deal as an excellent opportunity to support staff, I think teachers, support staff in schools and school leaders, to prepare as a workforce for the challenges ahead. We've just had Donaldson published changes to the curriculum, furlong as well in terms of changes to initial teacher training and I think the workforce now needs to be dexterous and have the capacity and the capability to prepare for those changes ahead within a changing technological era as well. We will implement the new deal in partnership with many of our current partners with initial teacher training, we'll be working with HE, we'll be also looking to work with higher education and we'll be working with Welsh Government, they are working very closely with us and the other three consortia to make sure that we've got an offer or an entitlement to teachers which is fit for purpose. But I think specifically we need to think about how we make sure that we dovetail the recommendations from Donaldson and furlong with building a workforce to deal with the challenges ahead. We will be able to build on some of the work that we've already got underway. So we've got for example models for leadership that we can work within the concept of the new deal to support that for school leaders. We've got the outstanding teacher programme, we've got programmes for improving teachers as well and we've got support programmes across the piece for middle leaders, pedagogic type support, literacy and numeracy support and a range of provision that will fit I think nicely with the new deal. I think the starting point for all staff would be effective appraisal, effective performance management arrangements so that any professional learning is triggered from that point onwards and I think in error we are looking to improve the way we put arrangements in place for all staff and what they get is supportive and enabling. We are needing to prepare a workforce for a climate of change and those changes will mean curricular changes, pedagogical changes, changes in the types of technology we use in the classroom and I think with that context we need to be prepared to build a resilient self-improving system where schools lead that professional learning for their employees and I think that's a significant shift in professional learning and we need to move to a place where the learning takes place in school and we're recognising that learning in an academic sense. How do we make sure that schools have the capacity to provide the learning experiences that the staff need? We're working in a climate of change, we're working in a climate of reducing budgets and we're working in a climate where we have an unknown curriculum change, an unknown change to initial teacher training so we need to be able to adapt to those challenges as we move ahead. Ero's provision of professional learning should reflect the pathways that teachers take during their careers and that will change over time. We're influencing how initial teacher training takes place. Now we're making sure that we're supporting current practitioners so that they teach the practitioners of the future about what it's like in the classroom today. We're also providing leadership models, again recognising that we've got a changing culture so possibly federated leadership supporting teachers to be leaders of learning across more than one school so we can share the good practice between schools. So we're looking at education and schooling being very different in terms of its context to what it's traditionally been. Professional learning schools in Ero will be recognised and will have a quality mark dual-badged by us and the local university Trinity St David and then they would be leaders of professional learning for us across the region in their particular areas of expertise. I think the best example I can use is they will be taking the lead for curricular changes and training teachers in particular subjects about how the changes will face them as we move forward. In addition, for example, the higher level teaching assistant course, again, one school will take leadership for that and take ownership and roll that across the region. So we are moving resources from the centre to schools so that they can lead learning for the profession from a schools base.


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE. Covering IBM Think 2018, brought to you by IBM. Welcome back to IBM Think 2018. My name is Dave Vellante and you're watching theCUBE, the leader in live tech coverage. Stay three of our wall-to-wall coverage of IBM Think. IBM took a number of conferences, Interconnect, World of Watson, EDGE, which was the infrastructure conference, brought them together. We're here to talk to Kayleen Sanchez, who's the vice president of IBM Enterprise Systems Storage. EDGE was your show. Welcome to the new world. Great. I know it's been exciting to be a part of the Think conference. Yeah. And what I think is great about it is we're talking solutions and the full stack, the full stack based on hardware, middleware applications, software, all of the feeders associated with delivering and users a solution. Well, I was talking to Ed Walsh earlier, actually yesterday, he came on. We weren't talking a lot of speeds and feeds, even though he's capable of it, but he's talking more about the adjacencies in IBM's businesses and cloud and artificial intelligence that are helping sort of uplift the storage business. I observed that having been an observer of the storage business for years, I've been hearing from big systems companies for decades that they're going to do that. They've had trouble succeeding, but it seems like it's finally taking hold. What's your perspective? I would agree. So the good comments associated with Ed is he's built a great team. We enjoy working together. He is fair, pragmatic in general. So we work to build collaboration within the IBM company to deliver solid solutions to end users. So he's done a great job. So what are the, you guys have reported four straight quarters of growth, not just like half a percent growth either, some high single-digit growth in some cases. What are the factors that are driving that? You mentioned sort of teamwork, culture, leadership. I'm sure there's some product stuff too from your perspective. Yes, so I actually, within my portfolio, I partner with Jeff Barber on, is like DS8000 enterprise storage and we see significant growth in the area based on our focus on flash and our investment with regards to flash optimization. The other aspect to really highlight is what we're doing in tape. And I know we've talked about tape before. Yeah, I know. Come on, let's talk about tape. All right, well, there's two components in that tactically, we're about to deliver a drive that's about the size of my hand that is called the LTO8, part of the LTO line, 12 terabytes for raw capacity. Yeah, so tape is interesting. I mean, the investments that used to be, back in the 80s, disk drive investments, all the VCs were pouring money into disk drives and heads and media, and a lot of those investments have dried up. You're not seeing the same types of investments. Tape, it's easier to do sort of funky things, multiple heads, drive super high bandwidths, do some sort of anticipatory indexing. Where do you see the use cases today? We've got blown out of backup. Where is it being used today? Is it archiving? Is it media? The NAB shows coming up, probably see a lot of tape there, but where are you seeing momentum for tape? So you are correct from a median entertainment perspective, NAB, that's a great industry we partner with. A few years back for LTFS, now Spectrum Archive, rebranded, a part of the Spectrum family. We won an Emmy. That's like... No kidding. I didn't know that. Yeah, we won an Emmy. So it's great in partnership with median entertainment. We're relevant there and our technology was relevant there. Now the other area for significant growth which helps feed those four quarters you referenced before is what we're doing with cloud service providers. We're relevant from a hardware infrastructure perspective based on tape. Tape is cool again. And there's a lot of companies worldwide who really believe that because it's all about big data storage for the right economic price as well as energy efficiency. Well, the gap between cost per bit for disk and tape is still enormous. It is. Tape is much, much, much cheaper and that's not going to change anytime soon, right? That is correct. It is much cheaper. So I'll give you an example. So basically less than a cent per gig per year. Now, I would actually even say it's less than a half cent. So it's just the economies of it. So a lot of what we do in talking about tape is the value from a cost perspective and the value you can provide a client where it's like, hey, they have big data, we can help serve it and we do that with tape. But is it, Kailin, is it the sleep at night factor? Like, okay, I'm going to put it in tape. Hopefully I never have to recover from it, but it's my media of last resort. I'm in compliance if I put it there. Or is that right? Or are people actually recovering from tape? Yes. Both. Yes, okay. So we were recovering from tape based on where fundamental tertiary storage for some of these enterprise clients where I have to discuss like tier management across primary, secondary and tertiary storage. So people think tape, classically, is an archive. Well, actually there's use cases that are fed by tape that kind of touch all the components of tier management. So I think it's more. It's more than just archive. It's big data. Now, let's talk about cloud. I thought cloud was going to take the on-prem business and wipe it out. What happened? It depends. That's what I like about IBM's perspective is hybrid. So we can serve both private as well as public clouds. And we also focus on optimizers. And what do I mean by an optimizer? For example, DS8000 in 2017, we delivered transparent cloud tiering, which allows you to basically take a primary device and treat every other storage component as a target to push data. Oh, by the way, you could push data to whatever cloud store in the sky that would be public or in some cases private based on security requirements associated with enterprise clients. So the criterion is largely security, not performance? Is that right or both? Both. It's a combination. It really depends on the use case that a client comes to bear or talks to us about. So I forget what you call it, but you guys had, early on, you had some automated capabilities, you had some magic heuristics to match data and device characteristics to put the right data and the right device. And you've extended that to cloud, is that right? So it's both policy based? So you are correct. So what you were referring to is easy tier management. So easy tier allowed you to move data to like a hotspot. Think of it as like a temperature rating. If it's hot data, it stays on flash or media types like that. If it's cold data, it goes off to ship off to cheap disc or possibly tape. Now our extension to that is transparent cloud tearing. I remember when you guys first announced easy tier, I'm thinking about it now.  I like to be able to manually move things around. And then this sort of machine intelligence wave comes through and people whose primary expertise was lung management or realizing that that's probably not the best career path for them. So have you seen customers become much more comfortable with that automation? Yes. There is an autopilot mode with regards to data management. But for some enterprise clients, I think I'm going to steal your word. They have to feel comfortable. They have to see that the right data was moved to the next tier and it's being managed appropriately. So some people like to like, for instance, your temperature reading in your house. Some people like that your dial is like 72.3, right? And you just know that temperature, right? Which is mental, right? Though, so clients were like that before, but with this idea of efficiency and we talked about flash efficiency based on our, one of our last interviews is that it gives you more time, more time to think about other things. And so EZ Tier provided us the capability, especially if you go autopilot, those end users can think about something different within their data centers to manage things differently, more efficiently. So it gives you time. And all I know is every Christmas, I pray to the Lord that I want 25 hours in a day. Yeah, so here, here. So the storage industry for years has been famous for doing more with less, constantly taking cost out.  You've made, IBM's made a lot of statements about Moore's Law, Moore's Law is waning, can't be as aggressive anymore, got to play different tricks. How has that applied to storage? How do you keep bringing costs out of storage? So I fundamentally believe everything old is new again. So we have to pay attention to the history of the legacy to really determine what the future roadmap is. And so what's nice that we partner with Ed Walsh on is talking about our building materials across our entire solution stack and ensuring we provide for exceptional efficiency. We definitely want, within IBM, to be the Toyota production system for storage. So it reminds me, say everything old is new or new is old. I remember a head of IBM storage one time who didn't know anything about storage and he admitted, I don't know anything about storage, he said, but I know this, it needs to be lightning fast, rock solid and dirt cheap. Has that changed and what's new in storage? So no, it has not changed, right? Though what we've been talking about is some really dirt cheap technology with regards to like tape, right? The last I checked, less than a cent per gig per year for storage management, that's huge, right? So that helps the wallet. But at the same time, there's some new future items, like we're wanting to play in the nanotechnology space, specifically to partnering with Sony, Sony Media, with regards to Sputter Media. So what people can go out and see when they have time is watch YouTube videos about what Sputter Media's about. Now, some of the deployment associated with Sputter Media was 220 terabytes for a single drive, that's our goal. So when clients come to us and say, hey, we want to serve or be served with data capabilities of like two X per year, well, we're at a point where we're going to blow their socks off because we're going to have an offering on the table tactically to be north of 220 terabytes per drive, pretty exceptional. What are some of the other kind of cool texts that we should be watching? I mean, you've seen advancements in file systems, obviously all the whole Hadoop and big data craze. Flash has completely changed not only storage but application development. You really couldn't be doing all this AI stuff without flash storage. NVMe, NVMe over fabric is coming in hot. You guys have done things like Cappy to get sort of atomic rights and capabilities like that. Again, game changing, geeky things that have business outcomes that completely change the application development paradigm. What should we be watching for from IBM? Some of the cool tech. So the other aspect that you've asked me in a prior conversation is about quantum computing. So we just need enough bits so they store those bits on us. So those are some of the early discussions about how IBM storage is going to play in quantum. Yeah, you got some cool demos here on quantum. It's kind of blow your mind demo, so check those out. Kaylee, I'll give you last word. IBM think, put a bumper sticker on it. So tape is not dead, it's sexy. And then also this other aspect of, I don't know, we can grow and so IBM storage is where it's at. And that's the reason why I remain here. Tape is sexy. Take it as tape is big and sexy. I know, big and sexy. Kaylee, thanks very much for coming back to theCUBE. It's great to see you again. Thank you, it's great to see you. All right, keep it right there, everybody. We'll be back after this short break.

Hello everyone, welcome to Chanakya IS Academy's current affairs. In this video, we will discuss about UNFPA report on Indian aging. Let's see why it is in the news. With the decadal growth rate of the elderly population of India estimated at 41% and its share of the total population projected to double to over 20% by 2050, the United Nations Population Fund India in its 2023 India Aging report has said that by 2046 it is likely that the elderly population will have surpassed the population of children aged up to 15 in the country. Now we will talk about the key findings of the report. Studies says challenges facing India's aging population are the feminization and ruralization of older population and policies must be framed accordingly. More than 40% of the elderly in India are in the poorest wealth quintile with about 18.7% of them living without an income, the report said adding that such levels of poverty may affect their quality of life and health care utilization. The report projected that the population of people aged 80 and above will grow at a rate of around 279% between 2022 and 2050 with a predominance of widowed and highly depended very old women, a finding in line with the pattern across several nations. The data showed that women on an average had a higher life expectancy as the age of 60 and 80 when compared with men with variations across the states and union territories. Further, the sex ratio number of females per thousand males. Among the elderly has been climbing steadily since 1991 while the ratio in the general population has been stagnating. Between 2011 and 2021, the ratio increased in India as a whole and across all regions barring the union territories and western India. In the northeast and the east, while the sex ratio of the elderly increased, it remained below thousand in both years indicating that men still outnumber women in these regions even at 60 plus years. Poverty is inherently gendered in old age when older women are more likely to be widowed living alone with no income and with fewer assets of their own and fully dependent on family force support. The report said pointing out that the major challenges facing India's aging population are the feminization and ruralization of this older population and that policies must be designed to suit their specific needs. Let's discuss variation in states. In Himachal Pradesh and Kerala, women at 60 have a life expectancy of 23 and 22 years respectively which is 4 year more than that of men at 60 in these states as compared with the national average differential of only a year and half. The report said, life expectancy of women at 60 is greater than 20 years in states such as Rajasthan, Haryana, Gujarat, Uttarakhand, Kerala, Himachal Pradesh and the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir raising concerns about their social and economic well-being. The report noted that there was a significant interstate variation in absolute levels and growth of the elderly population as well reflecting the different stages and pace of demographic transition across states. Most states in southern region and select northern states such as Himachal Pradesh and Punjab reported a higher share of the elderly population than the national average in 2021, a gap that is expected to widen by 2036, the report said. While the state reporting higher fertility rates and lagging in demographic transition including Bihar and Uttar Pradesh expect to see an increase in the share of the elderly population between 2021 and 2036. The level will remain lower than the Indian average, the report said. Compared with the southern and western India, central and north eastern regions have states with younger groups as indicated by the aging index. In the southern region, the old age dependency ratio was higher than the national average at about 20 as a true of western India at 17. Overall, union territories and the north eastern region reflected lower old age dependency ratios. We conclude today's topic here. Tomorrow we will meet with a new topic.

There's never been a focus here on Parkinson's and it's the first year that we'll continue to grow. But one thing we really learned is that everybody's touched by family members themselves, a friend, and it's thought of as the kind of an old man's disease. And, you know, Michael J. Fox is an example of somebody that was diagnosed very young in life. And there's people out there you don't know that have it and we're looking for the cure. The president of the Parkinson's support group in Charleston recommended 5K. There's an exercise component to it. They've proven that exercise consistently in running specifically or walking is better than any medicine in improving the symptoms. So we wanted that as a part of it.
