I don't want to keep you guys waiting so I hope you enjoy the video. Why do you think the reaction to you guys deciding to join up in Miami was so different? Do you think it was because it was LeBron and he was sort of the best player in the game? I want to throw it all on Brian but I definitely feel that the fan base basketball fan base had an idea of how LeBron's career was supposed to go and he had other ideas for his career and people at the time didn't understand why would he do that. Like that year the expectations were you know that first year the expectations were through the roof you know after like the decision and how everything went down like the whole league the whole world was just like honest. The answer to the question everybody wants to know. LeBron what's your decision? In this fall I'm going to take my talents to South Beach and join the Miami Heat. Cavaliers team owner Dan Gilbert fired off a brutally bitter angry email. Shocking act of disloyalty is heartless and callous act. Everybody hated us except the Miami fans. While the Miami Heat garnered all the attention the Orlando Magic quietly continued their pursuit of success. Just a year after their NBA finals appearance in an Eastern Conference finals run they remained focused and determined despite the chaos of the free agency period. The team that went to the finals they broke up real quick. I was upset because I'm like man this is we just went to the finals.  You and I were teammates for something like 50 games. The team was talented. When I got win that I'm possibly getting traded and it was going to go down. I already I took pair shoes left next house and I went straight to the airport bought my own ticket no bag just a pair of shoes. So when I got to Orlando it was joy you know locker room the players you guys were amazing.  The way we played and it didn't change anything the way we play. That's how really you know like help our motivation you know like the focus.  There was times where Jamil Nelson me and JJ Wernick was on the floor together. We were part of the the bench mob or bench I can't remember what we were called. It was me JJ Wernick me and Gil and Ryan Anderson and a couple other dudes. But we had a great time together. Orlando was one of the first teams really shift around and play that four out one in style with Dwight Howard and picking you know picking roles and what are you what are you going to choose you either give up you know wide open dunk to Dwight Howard. You give up a pick and pop for me or you know a drive and kick. So you have a group that's going to sit here and go out you know go up and down when we played Miami it was just felt like two hours that we were out there on the court going 100 percent. So you like oh my god all these stories are out about me being selfish which is the last thing that I am so that's why the emotions was there. It wasn't just a battle between two elite eastern conference teams with championship hopes. There was also some added tension during the offseason. Orlando Magic general manager Otis Smith said that he was surprised James went to Miami because he thought the two time MVP was more of a competitor. He said the great ones do it on their own and usually stay in one location. This provided all the motivation LeBron James required to ignite his competitive spirit for the game. Orlando that's funny today question my competitor and I liked it. We were hey we called ourselves the heaters at the time because everywhere we went it'd be so many people like it really was like that. So everybody went to Miami. Yeah so like he got at the worst then D-way and it just trickled down so like all of us you know so like all of us felt like like that type of that type of pressure. You know I'm young I'm 25 26 whatever and I think that stuff matters I watch watching the TV shows and all that stuff so what you read what you listen to it affects you. What hurt me the most is the criticism that LeBron received someone so close to me my brother. We're gonna put a lot of stuff in the locker room before the season starts. I know Pat and I know me they're gonna do a lot of stuff and they don't do it I'm gonna have a lot of stuff in my locker all right it's on.  White Howard and his Orlando Magic. Magic president Otis Smith questioned LeBron's competitiveness this offseason after the decision they had some fun up making fun of them before the game. Everybody knew it right it got that word got out around the league quick quick like if you go to Miami and you were going to have a chance to make it you know like it was out there and I think that benefited them a lot. James, James over Tergola, James again. And now to see it live too. He likes to have fun he likes to smile out there but I think that just that that thing just aided him. Wade had it knocked away it's recovered here is LeBron yes make it four of four from the field. I think you see the one-on-one move from James and he's got it rolling now. James to the fade oh he is on fire six for six 16 points. He would see something he would work on it for a day and then he would try it in the game and it looked like he had been working on that for a couple years. That's how quickly he could assimilate and apply something you know some kind of skill set. We could put him off the ball have him working off of cuts. Or we could run offense through him and then you know developing that at the time it was more of a you know 17-18 foot shot where you could just bank on it.  James for three is nine for nine for the field gets right to it. Everything he does is strategic every move he make and then some of the just the outlandish stuff he does on the court. That's crazy. Starting a game 11 for 11 this is out of control. And he makes them so simple that's 29 points from LeBron James. Well Mark we talked about Otis Smith the president of basketball operations from land of criticizing LeBron when he said Tyler Miami saying I thought he was more a competitor. I just asked him what he thought of that first half in the comments he made this summary because listen I'm too busy a man to worry about anything I said last summer. I said would you like to take back the words though what you said he goes no he wants to use that as motivation that's fine for him. I'm moving on. I don't want to say that LeBron James knocks down a three. James knocks down a three pass intended for Reddick was behind a back comes LeBron James with the bucket it counts at the foul as much of a physical talent. And when I say physical I mean everything the body the skill set the game all of make LeBron great as a basketball player he's equally as strong in the mental department. And he commands a certain level of fear you fear LeBron absolutely you know I've never you know seen anything you know anyone like that in terms of who I played with or played you know played against LeBron had a big deal about the statements and again he'll head to the line named by the general manager of the Magic. He's had a few statement games this year and they all kind of keen once he decided to be the villain you know and once he kind of embraced his new role that's 50 now for LeBron and it's his ninth career 50 point game. So to feel that adversity to feel that tension is what brings out the best. An entertaining game a surprising comeback 51 points for LeBron James. So you got a little bit of a look at this. Is there anything that you're feeling? Oh just playing this team got me going you know you know we understand you know that this wasn't just any regular game you know there's a lot of things said about us in the offseason that came from this organization so we just wanted to come over here and play to our abilities and make stand. So you know after the game over we're getting on playing they got food on us for the plan and it was some bulls*** right and LeBron came in and it was funny because I was thinking the same I'm looking I'm like what is this different is it different catering? Yeah you get because they from wherever city that is okay so whatever it was right it was some it was some straight bulls*** I'm looking I'm like what is this right we all talking like okay so now we just played four hour game we got to eat Lay's potato chips because the food is garbage right so we already eat chips and I see LeBron coming I'm I'm laughing I'm like oh yeah okay I said yeah you gonna have you a bag of these in a second right that's what he walked by he said oh hell no LeBron James don't eat no dog food that was so funny man it was so false it was so true but from then on out though that's the part of the leadership I'm talking about from then on out oh it was on point the food was on point and thank you guys so much for watching let me know what you thought about it down below in the comments section be sure to hit that like button and the subscribe button and of course here are two new videos I think that you will also enjoy if you enjoyed this one so be sure to check them out and I'll catch you guys next week take care


Hi, I'm Zor. Welcome to Unisor Education. I would like to finish this story with space coordinates, explaining what is spherical coordinates. Now, this lecture is part of the Advanced Mathematics course for teenagers. It's presented on Unisor.com. The site has lots of notes and for registered students even the whole process of education, including enrolling and exams. So, I suggest you actually to watch this lecture from the site and basically utilize it as the whole educational process. Okay, back to spherical coordinates. Now, we have already covered in the two previous lectures Cartesian coordinates and cylindrical coordinates in three-dimensional space. So, this is the third system which can be used to identify the points in three-dimensional space. So, here is what it is. As always, we have to have some kind of an origin. This is the fixed point relative to which we will try to describe our position of our point using some numerical characteristics. Now, the next thing is the distance from the point in question. So, OA is equal to R. It's a radial distance because this is basically like a radius from the center of origin of coordinates to the point. Okay, now, obviously this alone does not identify the point because anything on a sphere around the origin would have the same characteristic, right? Now, next what we need is we have to have an axis relative to which we will measure the angle of deviation. So, usually it's displayed vertically and you can use the letter Z, actually, again as in Cartesian and cylindrical coordinates to specify this axis as a Z-axis. What is important, actually, from the language perspective, the direction, the vertical direction towards the positive side of this axis is called zenith. So now, you can actually measure the angle of deviation from zenith. It's called polar angle. In some way, it's similar to polar angles on the plane. So, it's deviation from certain directions. This direction is called zenith and this one is deviation from angular deviation from the zenith. Now, does this define our point? Well, obviously, again, not exactly because any point which has the same angle with my axis, with my Z-axis would qualify. So, it's like a cone, basically, right? So, this point A, if R is fixed, then you have a sphere, right? And if phi angle, polar angle, is fixed, then you have a cone and intersection between a cone and a sphere would be a circle. So, it's still not exactly the determination of the position of the point. But, well, we need three coordinates. You remember, right? In three-dimensional space, we have defined only two of them. So, this is angle ZOA. This is phi. Now, so, how can we calculate the third coordinate in spherical system of coordinates? So, we need a reference plane, which is somehow equivalent to X, Y plane in a Cartesian coordinate because it's perpendicular to the Z-axis and it goes, obviously, through origin. So, the same plane we had in the cylindrical coordinates, Cartesian coordinates, and here we have it in spherical coordinates. Now, what do we do with this plane? Well, obviously, we will project our point and we will have this direction from our origin to a projection and measure the angle of deviation, again, angle of deviation from some axis which we, again, fixed on this plane. So, the angle in this case, for instance, in this case, it would be this one. Now, here is a slight difference, I would say. Angle phi is an angle of deviation from vertical, from positive direction of the Z-axis towards our point and it can be, obviously, from 0 to no longer, not greater than 180 degrees, not greater than pi, right? And it's always positive. Now, this is also positive, but the angle can be from 0 to 360 degrees, right? Because we're always measuring counterclockwise if you look from the positive direction of the Z and it will be always from 0 to 360. So, now, we have, and we can actually put letter x because in some way it's equivalent to the x-axis in the Cartesian coordinates. In many cases, picture even contains the third axis, the y-axis, which is not really used in spherical coordinates because we are using only the x-axis to measure the deviation from the positive direction of x. And, by the way, it's called azimuth. So, now, we are talking about angle x of a projection and that's usually the letter theta, Greek letter. Now, as far as letters are concerned, I think this is more traditional in mathematics. In physics, they prefer, actually, to use the theta for a polar angle and phi for azimuth on the reference plane. Well, I mean, letter is letter whatever you want to use, you're obviously free to do whatever you want. All right, so this is an explanation of what is spherical system of coordinates. So, it's three characteristics. Distance from the origin, oa, angle which ray oa is deviated from positive direction of the z-axis from the zines. So, that's phi. And then, if you drop the projection from a onto the plane of reference, which is perpendicular to z-axis and goes through origin, obviously, on which there is a chosen direction, a positive direction. So, the deviation from this chosen fixed direction is an azimuth that's the third characteristic. So, again, what do we need? We need origin, we need z-axis, we need reference plane, and we need an x-axis from which we count the azimuth, right? So, these are three characteristics, well, three construction elements which we need to be able to determine spherical coordinates. Now, let's spend some time and talk about how the point defines spherical characteristics and how spherical characteristics define the point. Again, it's supposed to be one-to-one correspondence, right? And, by the way, what I also mentioned is that phi is from zero when we are actually at zines no end to phi. Phi would be when it's vertically down. So, the A can be here or A can be here. So, this is zero phi and this is pi, 180 degrees pi. Now, as far as theta is concerned, that would be obviously from zero to no... to less than 2 pi. Now, this is less because I don't want to specify 2 pi because it will correspond to the same as zero, so we don't really need it. Well, obviously, r is supposed to be from zero less than infinity, only positive. So, these three determine the point and the point determines these three. So, let's just follow this logic. If I have a point and I have these axes and reference plane and the x-axis, etc., how can I calculate the three spherical coordinates? Well, obviously, well, I forgot to mention, unit of measurement, unit through length, right? So, you measure OA, that's your r, then, since you have OA and you have this axis, z-axis, using these two lines, we draw a plane and within that plane, our phi angle is just a flat angle which we can measure at angular units, regions or degrees, right? So, that's how we measure phi. Just have a plane through OA and z-axis. They are intersecting, so there is one and only one plane, so no problems there. Now, and the third characteristic, you have to project A to the reference, plane and take the OAP ray and compare direction with the positive direction of the x-axis and that would give you the azimuth. Measure the angle counterclockwise from zero to no more than two p. Okay, that's how we go from a point to three coordinates. Let's go back. So, let's say we have these three coordinates. What do we do with them to construct a point? Well, using r, you can construct a sphere. That would be a locus of all points which are on the same distance r from the O. Among these points, there is our point A. So, it defines a surface on which our point is located. Now, since I have angle phi, I can create a conical surface with the generator being on an angle phi from the axis of symmetry of this cone, right? That would be like a cone like this. This is a cone on one hand. On the other hand, we have a sphere, right? A sphere would be something like this. So, the r will give me the sphere. The phi will give me a cone and that's the curve where the cone intersects the sphere. So, we have a two-dimensional sphere after we use one coordinate. Then we have line, curve, whatever which is kind of one-dimensional which specifies even further. So, our point A is not just on the sphere but on this particular circle on the surface of a sphere. And the third coordinate since we have the azimuth, the way how we do it, let's project this circle onto our reference plane. I will get a circle here on the plane itself, right? And since I have it on the plane, I can basically have this angle and construct a ray and wherever this ray intersects, that would be my projection. Now we go all the way up back to the sphere or a circle and we will get the point A. Just draw perpendicular to the reference plane from this point where my ray intersects this circle. Okay, so this is how we go from numbers to points. And the last thing is I would like to present a couple of examples. Spherical coordinates seem a little bit more complicated than cylindrical. Cylindrical may be a little more complicated than cartesian, but there is a purpose in everything. Now what's the purpose of spherical coordinates? Well, actually my third example would probably explain it a little better, but let me start from two trivial examples. Now the first example is a sphere. I would like to present an equation which represents a set of points which lie on the same sphere of a radius r. So what would be that equation? That's the equation. If r is given and this is the variable coordinate, one of these coordinates, then this is I mean it cannot be simpler than that. So sphere, however complex that thing actually is, this geometrical object is, its description using algebraic equation in spherical coordinate is simple, right? Now, how would it look in cartesian coordinates? Well, that's this way. I think we did a couple of times examine this, but this is a distance. If x, y and z are coordinates, then using twice the Pythagorean theorem you will get this as a distance from the origin of coordinate. So using this Pythagorean theorem twice, that's the equation you will get. This is simpler than that, obviously, right? Now, another example is, let's say you have a cone, but not just cone. I would rather say conical surface, okay? Conical surface with epics being at the center of the origin of coordinate. So this is my conical surface, okay? Infinite in both directions. So there is somewhere a director's, right? There is epics coincides with origin of coordinates. Now the plane where my director's is is supposed to be perpendicular to the z-axis, right? And the center is supposed to be on the z-axis, right? Center of this director. So director's is given, epics is given, right? So all the lines which go through epics and one of the points here they are for the cylindrical surface. Now, what's the equation of all these lines in the cylindrical surface? Well, if this is angle phi between the axis of this conical surface and the generator's, then that would be a direction. I mean, sorry, if this is alpha. So if I would like to express a conical surface with around the z-axis with the center of the origin with an angle alpha between the axis of rotation and the generator's, then this is the equation. So phi is a coordinate. We don't fix r, we don't fix theta. So everything is just defined exactly by one simple equation. Now the third example is a little bit more complicated and a little bit not mathematical. It's related to position of a star.  Now, what does it actually mean? Well, it actually means a convoluted way of presenting spherical coordinates because here is what I can suggest. So let's say this is a star. Now this is Earth. Now the Earth actually has an axis of rotation, right? And you can always display it as vertical axis, right? It doesn't really matter. So you are somewhere on the surface of the Earth. Now obviously it doesn't really matter where exactly you are whenever the surface is rotating you will be basically on a parallel, right? perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Now, from the position of a star actually this is still a very small object and the angle between axis of rotation of the Earth and direction on the star this angle is actually the same. However, whenever you are rotating you see the star actually as it rotates on the sky, right? So how to measure where exactly this... So if you consider that the Earth is standing still, right? And relatively to Earth your star is rotating, right? on the sky. So you see it at different places in the sky. What you do is you can project the position of the star onto the reference plane where you are. So it goes through the parallel where you are perpendicularly to the axis of rotation. Then you can obviously project this rotation of the star relative to some direction. Let's say you have direction to the north within this plane. You have direction to the north so you can always measure this angle. So whenever astronomers are saying that you can observe your star at certain angle from the horizon it's this angle, right? Which is 90° minus this angle. So it's exactly the same thing just a different angle. So instead of... instead of angle phi you are using angle 90 minus phi, right? 90° minus phi. Alright, so that's the same. Now the second thing is they're talking about specific time. Now what time means? The rotation of the Earth actually. So the time is the number of hours from certain moment in time when the Earth actually... when zero actually is... when the Earth goes through the Greenwich Meridian, right? So whatever the time specified is is actually a measure of the azimuth which you should observe your star. So it's just a little bit more complicated to talk about azimuth and polar angle. It's simpler for the consumers to talk about the time at a specific location on Earth and the angle from the horizon. But in theory it's exactly the same type of things. Now we don't actually talk about individual distance because that's not really what's important. I mean, yes, obviously this is the third coordinate. But our purpose, our astronomical purpose is just to have a direction. So the phi and theta are basically defining this direction and instead of phi they're using 90° minus phi and instead of theta of time. Which is actually a measurement of the azimuth considering the speed of rotation of the Earth. Okay, so that's it. That's all I wanted to talk about spherical coordinates. I doubt you will be using this in your practical life unless you might be an astronomer or something like that. But still it's interesting and what also is interesting is that no matter which coordinate system you're using we have described three of them Cartesian, cylindrical and spherical. And I'm sure anybody can think about some other system of coordinates. But what's interesting is that in the three-dimensional space where we live it's exactly three numerical characteristics are needed. No matter how you define your system of coordinates. In the Cartesian system you need three linear dimensions along the three axes X, Y and Z. In a cylindrical system you need two linear and one angular dimensions, right? So you need linear distance to a projection you need an angle vertical also linear. And in spherical system you have one linear and two angular. So no matter how you design your system you still need three numerical characteristics. And that's what actually making our space three-dimensional. This is a property of the space and no matter how you try to position your point, to define the position of your point in the three-dimensional space you need three coordinates, three numerical characteristics. So being of a certain dimension or dimensionality of the space is really much deeper property of the space than anything we just associate with any coordinate system. Alright, that's it. I would recommend you to go through the notes for this lecture. Maybe I missed something I'm not sure. And I do recommend you to actually go to this website and engage more actively in the whole process, in the whole educational process from the beginning, from the first lectures about numerical systems, etc. down all the way. That's it. Thank you very much and good luck.


Yes, my name is Sekian Letura, let me repeat that because people tend to forget my name. I work with and for Nashi Pai Masai Community Project which is a CBO that is focusing on restoring a school in Kajado West. I hope I'm allowed to comment on everything. So I'll go back to the gender bill that I want to say that men are only afraid because women do so much with so little and they cannot imagine having us having so much. They cannot imagine what we will do. They like that, we do so much with so little. They cannot imagine us having much because they think we will overthrow them. But the time is coming. Also I want to talk about discrimination. When you work with women, you will get discriminated because especially where I come from women are property. You can go to a house and borrow a girl, like can I have your girl? Let me go and use her to look after my kettle or hold my babies. So for us as Masai women, we get a lot of discrimination. The support is here on the ground but in the grassroots there's a lot of discrimination because you are left to do the work alone. The churches will sit on the fence, the men will sit on the fence and the women who do that work will just do the work alone. And our youth, especially youth from Masai land, they just don't, they are Masai men especially. Let me just say men, I'm sorry, but men, they just don't do anything at all. So you guys have decided to take matters into your own hands? Yes, because God is a woman. Okay. We have to do what God does. Like we have to make sure that because God created a woman, okay, we believe God is a woman, and we are women. So we have to make sure that what God created remains, what God created is empowered. So we empower our girls through education despite the discrimination, despite all the sitting on the fence. We are here and right now I will tell you that in our school, which was almost closing down because it was only a girl school and no girls were going to school, the population stands at 350 now, around three years after we started this project. And yeah.

C-store for details. Better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless and East Kentucky Network Company. The Mi San Felipe Mexican restaurant and Roasted Cafe in Coal Run recently fell victim to burglars. An unknown subject or subjects attempted to get into roasted over the weekend. Two masked men seen here in surveillance footage did manage to get into Mi San Felipe, and they stole several items. The video that we received, I think we were able to determine it was about 4.15 in the morning. Two subjects gained entry, forced open the back door, and it's a pretty reinforced back door they have there. Prided open, entered the establishment. They took $25 and quarters out of the cash register.  They turned all the cameras up. There were several cameras in the area and turned them all up. And of course after they took what they were going to take, they exited through the same door. Mi San Felipe has been the victim of burglars already this year, but it remains unclear whether the incidents are related. Police are asking the public for help in the case. I don't know if it's connected or not, but with further investigation, we might be able to determine that it is. Any information that may assist in these break-ins that we're having, give us a call here at Colrun Police Department at 437-0902. And we appreciate any help that we can get. Those sharing information can remain anonymous. In Colrun Village, Chris Anderson, EKB News.


in the previous segment, we discussed the while statement and compared it to the repeat statement. Now, we are going to look at how to do the mark averaging problem. So, let us begin with the manual algorithm for mark averaging. So, here it is. So, we are going to keep two variables. So, one is the variable sum into which we are going to get the sum of all the marks and then there is going to be a variable called count and in this variable we are going to keep track of how many marks we have read. So, we are going to start by making these variables 0. Then we are going to read the next value and the next value is going to be read and let us say we read it into a variable called next mark. Well, in a manual algorithm we will not really have variables of course, but since you now know variables we might as well bring them in just to make our discussion clearer. Then we are going to check is the mark value that we just read which is in next mark is it less than 0? If it is less than 0 then we know that we need to terminate. So, we need to at that point print the average and stop. So, therefore we are going to go to step 7 and step 7 indeed prints the sum divided by count which is going to be the average. Well, if next mark is greater than or equal to 0, then what do we do? Well, then we just continue. So, we go to the next step which is the step 4 and now whatever mark we just read which is a valid mark now we know and we add it to sum. But we also read one more mark and therefore we increment count by one as well and then we have to repeat the process. So, we again go back to step 2 which is the starting point of the loop. Now, let us first draw a flow chart of this just to make sure that we understand exactly the control flow that is what happens after fought. So, here is the flow chart. So, we are going to start off by setting sum and count to 0. Then we are going to read in next mark. Then we are going to check whether next mark is greater than 0. If it is false or it is less than 0 then we are going to print calculate and print the average. Otherwise, we are going to add next mark to sum. We are going to add one to count and then we are going to repeat again from this statement. Now, our goal is to implement this using the vile loop and therefore it might be instructive to compare the structure or the connections in this flow chart with the connections in a vile loop. So, here also there is this condition here also there are some statements which are being executed. But there is an important difference between these two pictures. What is the difference? After the body is executed, the control goes back to the condition checking. Over here, if this is the body then after that body is executed the control does not go back to the condition checking but it goes back to an additional statement before the condition checking happens. So, because of this difference it is not clear how we can use the vile statement because if this is the condition and this is the body what is this? That is not very clear. We cannot directly use this because the structures do not match. So, we are going to then do something to the flow chart. So, we are going to have a different flow chart for mark averaging. In this slide, we have given two flow charts for the mark averaging program and I am going to observe that they are really doing the same thing. So, what is it that we wanted? We wanted that this path should join not at this point but it should join directly at the condition check. But we cannot just take this path and join it over here. If we do that, then along this path, we would be doing something different. So, if we are going to make any changes, we should make sure that along every path the same operations happen, maybe they happen before the merge in one case or in another case they happen after the merge. So, if we do not like that this block is present between the point of joining and this and this condition check, what we could do is we could push this block above on this path. But we cannot just push it on one side on one of the paths because then if we come down this straight path and if the block is not present, then we would be doing something different along this straight path. So, what we can do is that we can take this condition, this statement and we push it back on both paths. So, what happens now is that if we come down for the first time, then the operations that we perform are still going to be the same, so we are going to execute this statement, then this statement, then the condition check. Similarly, over here, we are going to execute this statement, this statement, and the condition check on a subsequent iteration as well. After the condition check, we are going to execute this statement, and we are going to execute to this statement and the condition check again. Even here after the condition check we are going to execute this statement exactly the same as before then we are going to execute this statement exactly the same as before and then we are going to execute the condition check exactly the same as before. So the general claim is that if a certain block is executed after two parts merge say as over here this block is executed then we might as well execute it separately on the two parts before they merge and then we do not have to execute it after they merge because we just executed them before. So essentially what happens over here is exactly the same thing that happens over here. Now why is this helpful for us? Well now we can make this be the condition and we will make this followed by this as the body of the loop.  So then this will be my condition check and this followed by this will be my body. So here is what the program is going to look like. So I am going to declare the variables next mark and sum and sum is going to be 0, I am also going to declare count and count is also going to be 0. So I am at this point I have executed this statement and this state, sorry I have executed this statement. Now I need to execute this statement and this statement is not within any loop or anything. So I have that. So this is this block A which I have marked here just to indicate the correspondence. Now after this I come to the condition check of the vile. So I am going to have a vile and that is going to be my condition check. So the C block over here is going to be this statement. After that I am going to have the body. So the body first has this statement from B, it then has the second statement from B but as it executes it has to execute this statement from A again. So that is also going to be a part of the body and this is a copy of A so that is what I have indicated over here in the comment. So at this point the body execution ends. So we have this and then again the control will go back and start from this statement which is exactly what happens in the flow chart over here. So if the condition is false then I want the average to be calculated and printed. Similarly over here if the condition is false it will come and execute the statement over here and so we will put the average calculation and printing statement over here and that is what our main program, our program is going to be. So this program now uses the while statement and it directly implements this flow chart but we know that this flow chart is really the same as this flow chart. So here is an exercise for you. Write a turtle controller which we saw last time but which this time has an extra command. So if from keyboard you type F then the turtle should move forward 100 pixels as before. If you type R then the turtle should turn right 90 degrees but now if you type X the turtle should finish execution. You will see that you will have to pretty much have the same structure as before. So maybe repeat some part of the code before entering the loop and so on. So what have we discussed in this segment? So we said that in while loops the first step is check whether we need to execute the next iteration. In some loops that we want to write the first step may not be the condition check. We might have to do something before we check the condition. In this case we can modify the loops or we can modify the flow charts associated with the loops by making a copy of the steps that we need to do before the condition check and they have to be performed before the entry into the loop as well as at the end of the body of the loop. So this is one way of dealing with such slightly tricky loops but there is another way which we will see in the next segment. So we will take a break here.

As we wait for time to grow maize and grow a lot of it. We are solving problems one by one. We are solving problems one by one. We are solving problems one by one. We are solving problems one by one. We are solving problems one by one. We are aware of the price of millimune. We have told the millers they must charge a fair profit. We stop smuggling. We also grow more maize. Then we stop the exports of maize so that the maize that is here can be milled and the price will stabilize.  You use your brain. We are solving problems that we cannot do. We are solving problems one by one. We are solving problems one by one. We are solving problems one by one. The issue is that are you solving the problem? When the answer is yes, then you love the people. We love you who continue solving the problem. I think I want to end here to say this boho is our demonstration of Chikopdi.

Meanwhile, reactions have shown the seated home order issued by the independent indigenous people of Miafra, Aipop, on the southern eastern part of the country. Public affairs analyst Victor Ohio while featuring on our breakfast show said conflict is unavoidable because Aipop's approach is wrong. I'm sure it's not going to be an uproar, but the reason is that you can't have a government in the country. And then in our constitution is a shared freedom of movement, freedom of association, which means that no body should continue anyone's movement or right to go out and mix feelings with anyone they want. And so if anyone wants to continue that freedom, then that is the violation of the constitution. So there's bound to be a conflict between this body that is trying to constitute the government and the government of the state. And that's not taking away the reason for the agitation or whatever their cause is, but I say that their point of methodology may not be outrightly, I mean it's confrontational obviously, you know it's confrontational and it's bound to create problems.

The respected viewers, thank you for joining us live on this show, live from the Holy City of Karbala in which we are going back to the basics and discussing the most basic and fundamental issues in any disputes, discussions and indeed disputations between ourselves and others who happen to primarily come from other different schools of thought but also those who believe internally within the very map that we believe in and those who claim to follow the same religion as ourselves as well. It's been quite fascinating over the past few weeks. I've been trying my best to lead up to a discussion as to how to build a potential framework for discussing with others and of course we tend to get slightly sidetracked and that's just due to the fact that there's either a lapse in communication for myself or at times we get questions from others. So inshallah ta'ala tonight I wanted to come back to a clarification from not last night but the night before. So those of you who are watching live and don't have the official context for the show can refer back to the episode from two nights ago inshallah ta'ala. Of course since we take a break every Friday that would be not Thursday's live show but the live show for Wednesday night inshallah ta'ala. The questions we received were on that night pertaining to a brother who happens to come from one of the Islamic schools of theology but does not affiliate himself with the Ahl al-Bayt alaym al-salam. He does not affiliate himself with the original Islam revealed to the Holy Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi and I don't say that to insult anyone but rather I mean to say that he aligns himself with a different school of Islamic theology. He happens to be a Salafi and the questions he asked were pertaining to whether or not I had misrepresented the Salafi aqaida. I believed that I had done adequate justice to answering those particular issues but some have felt that that is not the case and so I decided to return to them tonight before we move on to the next real issue which is how to build a world view. How to essentially get into the issue of world view. So tonight we will quickly round off where we had previously begun discussing the questions of the brother. We'll try our best to finish off what he claims I have misrepresented inshallah ta'ala and from there we can move on to the real substance which is how we build a world view. How we start off and how we would go around doing that in particularly engaging with other world views. Of course that would begin at the very start namely how we know there is a God, how we know that Allah az-wajal exists and how we know the attributes of Allah az-wajal. But before we do that the main issue that the brothers felt I had not necessarily adequately addressed was the issue of whether or not I have demonstrated that the particular Salafi school or doctrine undermines the human intellect and rationality and they stated that I had misrepresented the aqaida of tawhid when it came to the Salafi school of thought. So allow me to just quickly address this inshallah ta'ala. In the previous episode in which we discussed this I mentioned the very famous narration on this hadith al-atayt. Hadith al-atayt is of course the famous narration found in Sunan Abu Dawud which states that when Allah az-wajal comes close to the arsh it gives off a creaking roar like the sound which is given when a horse rider mounts upon the saddle of his riding beast. So we saw that the necessity of this narration which was authenticated by numerous of the prominent scholars and for those who do not believe me they can refer to the episode of two nights ago. This particular narration clearly indicated that there was a degree of physicality which gives off this sound because as we know vibrations and pressure aren't caused unless there is physical contact and more importantly what is the throne that Allah az-wajal would actually need to be mounted upon it. So we saw that there was a degree of physicality there. I might not have made that point particularly adequately clear and inshallah ta'ala I hope I'm doing so now but allow me to go further into depth into why we view this as a particularly deficient school when it comes to the intellect. We stated that when it comes to any religious discussion there are two ways to go about a religious discussion. The first is to primarily have this discussion on terms of a rational discussion that is to say without making recourse to any scriptures without making recourse to any particular special or specific revelation that is to say revealed texts which are claimed by believers. So in a debate about God's existence in a debate about the existence of Allah az-wajal we may choose not to actually address the issue by utilizing the Quran as a standard in a debate with an atheist. Why? Because we may feel that look at the end of the day this is more of a rational discussion before we reach a conversation on whether or not the Quran is a believable book is the final revelation of Allah az-wajal allow us to establish that at the very least there is some being which brought the universe into existence and after we've had that discussion we may now discuss the qualities and attributes of that creator but before we do so it's necessary to not presuppose and impose our particular canon of evidence onto someone that does not believe it. So that would be the first recourse of evidence that we would make use of namely rational intellectual evidence but there is of course a second type of evidence we've mentioned it now that is special revelation specific key religious texts which we utilize in order to dispute with others generally those would be texts which they agree to so for example when we are disputing with Christians we may choose to engage using passages from the biblical texts that they already believe in when we're engaging with those who are Jews we may choose to use the Tanakh that is to say the book commonly known as by Christians as the Old Testament and when we're discussing with other Muslims we might choose to make recourse to the Qur'an but of course there is a fallacy which is involved here which is to assume that all of us understand the Qur'an in the same way there's a fallacy involved which presupposes that we all understand what the Qur'an is talking about that is to say we all agree upon these issues and that is certainly not the case we find that when it comes to the Qur'an we do not all agree upon these issues rather we all differ in our interpretation so the main issue of interpretation that we said was a stumbling block for anyone to take the Salafi School of Theology seriously was the way it heavily undermines the intellect I have compared this particular case with cases in other religions before and I think it would be particularly promising to mention how in my humble opinion we see an overlap in the fallacious interpretational methods of the previous distorted religions alongside this distortion of Islamic theology allow myself to give you a personal anecdote which I've encountered in my debates with Trinitarian largely Protestant Christians when you ask them for evidence for why Jesus who was a limited human being a creation of Allah Azza wa Jalla could actually be the divine one incarnate that is to say fully God and fully man according to their beliefs which is called the hypostatic union according to Christian theology we might ask how is it possible that something which is finite could encompass the infinite that is to say how is it possible that all of God in his entire greatness could be manifested into a human body and where's your evidence for this they would respond to you by saying that look when you look at the Gospels when you look at the account of the arresting of Jesus and Jesus is being arrested before he's put on the cross according to their particular account I'm not giving credence to it they would say that the Roman soldiers in addition to the governor asked Jesus who do you claim you are to which he responds I am and they fall back in amazement and they clearly understood from this that he was making a claim to be God now of course the problem of this particular interpretation is that they're utilizing the very enemies of monotheism as an evidence and a testimony of what was understood by the message of Jesus so many Muslims would turn around and say how can you trust the testimony of Roman soldiers when they were the enemies of Jesus why do you trust their understanding of theology here and it's a bit of a dubious passage to use again a non-rational irrational means of interpreting scripture so we find that the Salafi school falls under the same trap to a certain degree and I'd be very curious for anyone that happens to follow the Salafi school to respond to this particular issue but I'm merely bringing it up for now because this brother has felt and others have felt but I have misrepresented the Salafi school what did I state was the problem of the Christian method of interpretation they take the enemy of Jesus according to their own scripture and they utilize him as the primary hermeneutical that is to say interpretational means to reach the interpretation they want so the Roman soldiers who are pagans and biased are apparently the primary source for Christian theology here why is it that we would use them likewise we find that when we come to the Quran according to the translation it states for own said oh chiefs I know not that you have an illa a God other than me so kindle for me a fire oh Hamman to bake out of clay set up for me a lofty tower in order that I may look at or look for the God of mosa Moses and verily I think that he mosa is one of the liars so this is in the holy Quran surah 28 ayah 38 so we what we have here is we have for on saying oh my servants oh Hamman build for me clay bricks so that we may build a lofty tire which goes up into the skies why so that I may look for the God of Moses for the God of mosa aleyhis salatu wassalam anyone in their right mind when reading the Quran in terms of interpretation of the verses is going to think to themselves hmm is there anyone further from the truth that I might choose not to depend upon when it comes to the theology in regarding in regards to Allah Azawajal when it comes to who I'm going to trust in terms of understanding the nature attributes and qualities of Allah Azawajal is there someone that might be one of the people I really don't want to go to when it comes to understanding that without doubt Far'aun is one of the greatest criminals in the history of humanity for he claimed to be God to be Allah Azawajal incarnate he's famous for stating I am your Lord the Most High this is Far'aun this is who Far'aun claimed to be so when it comes to taking theology from someone it really doesn't look like we're going to be looking to see what Far'aun believes but unfortunately on this websites which is written by an individual taken to be quite scholarly what we find on it is the following this website is known the belief is as the beliefs of the righteous Salaf they state as for saying that that the belief that Allah Azawajal is above the heavens is that of Far'aun and not the belief of Moussa peace be upon him is a claim that is refuted by the Quran the sunnah and reason as for the Quran Allah says do you feel secure that he who is above the heaven will not cause you to be swallowed up by the earth when it shakes so she goes on to establish quite clearly in her personal opinion the following Pharaoh used to claim divinity and deny Moussa's call that there exists a deity other than him i.e. Far'aun and he wanted to prove this to the people so he ordered his minister Haman to establish a lofty palace a building which reaches high in the heavens so that he may reach the ways of the heavens and its doors to look at Moussa's peace be upon him gods that is to say Allah Azawajal that he claims exists so the Pharaoh's choice was to climb the heavens based on his belief of where Moussa's God is or was it because Moussa alayhi salam told him that the Lord is above the heavens so they establish this doctrine that Allah is above the skies based upon a rhetorical sarcastic challenge from Far'aun who claimed to be God himself does this seem like rational theology to you inshallah dear viewers we're going to go for a quick break and we'll join you after the break in continuing to discuss this issue inshallah thank you so much dear viewers for waiting patiently during that break even though the wait was not particularly long we were discussing prior to the break the issue of interpretation and rationality clearly we saw here that an ayah is being utilized to establish the location of Allah Azawajal and that location is being based upon what on the statement of Far'aun the statement of Pharaoh the statement of one of the worst tyrants who has become the symbolic archetypal tyrants by which we compare any modern-day tyrant today is it really rational to assume that we could trust based upon this ayah and be twisted interpretation of some that Allah Azawajal is above us because a deluded madman who had let power and fame get to his head who believed that life and death lied within his hands had ordered the people to build a tower going up to the skies is this really proof and if tomorrow one of the modern-day Far'auns of this day and age chooses to build up a tower in the sky and claims to the monotheists that he likewise is going to prove us all wrong by going up to the very heavens and proving that God does not exist would we ever take this to be a statement proving that Allah Azawajal is in the heavens do your viewers we need to use our rationality here we need to ask ourselves these questions in regards to why is it that these so-called scholars these so-called theologians have reached this conclusion that Allah Azawajal is physically above us and why is it that they utilize proofs and evidences of such a nature in order to try and make this claim is there no other rational way of looking at it is there no other rational interpretation of these verses which would say that look the term above the heavens is being utilized yes but does it literally mean that Allah is physically above us and if he is how does that work for those who are upon the opposite end of the globe how does that work for those of us who are in Australia is he below them brothers and sisters we need to start using the intellect adequately Allah Azawajal has given us all an intellect so that we might be of those who reflect and we find that Allah Azawajal says in the holy Quran that had this book been from other than Allah they would have found in it much contradiction much discrepancy much inconsistency and yet for us to claim that we can trust the intellect and believe that Allah Azawajal is physically above us therefore confined and constrained within a physical location is to say that Allah Azawajal has certain dimensions these dimensions of course being to put it quite frankly and friendly limitations limitations or restrictions which if we would look at anything else and see these limitations and restrictions we would never believe this is Allah we would never believe this is God and yet this theology this theology which when you ask them for the proof that Allah has two eyes they would tell you that the proof that Allah has two eyes is that the holy prophet has said salallahu alayhi wa alayhi according to veneration and not our own that the jaal is going to be blind in one of his eyes and know that your Lord is not blind in one of his eyes they extract from this that Allah Azawajal must therefore have two eyes because the Quran does not make it clear how many eyes Allah Azawajal has and of course we don't even like to use this terminology because our imams may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon them all have interpreted for us what these eyes are they have told us that it is not literally an eye as the people would assume these are not physically body parts but unfortunately there is a methodology which says to you no don't ask any questions don't use your intellect rather ask yourself what did the salaf say what did the salaf say did the salaf say this is there proof in the salaf I ask you this question if the salaf if the so-called righteous predecessors were so incapable of interpreting scripture adequately then what makes them worthy of being followed what gives them any legitimacy and who gave them any level of authority in order that they might interpret for us where is the proof that we are to refer back to these individuals when it comes to the ahlul bayt and I'm a salat was salam we have clear-cut evidence that the holy prophet sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi said I leave behind among you two weighty things the book of Allah and my itra my progeny my ahlul bayt the people of my house we have a clear-cut narration here which stipulates that the ahlul bayt are being left behind and are at the level of the Quran then what does the prophet say sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi he states that the Quran and the ahlul bayt will never separate until they reach him at the lake font beautiful if this is the case sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi why would we go and take from anyone else where is the proof which legitimizes the statements of Mujahid or any of the other tabaeen who give a claim in regards to the Quran and more importantly why do we really care about what they have to say when we look at their interpretations these contradictory interpretations and again truth is not found in contradiction we see that not only did they have deficient theology but they also contradicted themselves on what this very theology is and they applied these rules inconsistently we've seen that they believe in doctrines such as Allah Azza wa Jalla's physical force applying onto the weight of the Kursi the throne of Allah Azza wa Jalla and as a result this Kursi it shakes in the same way that the saddle of a riding beast shakes for its rider subhan Allah is this really what we want to present to the rational world today this worlds in which people are looking at where the evidence for Allah Azza wa Jalla is this world in which people are so far from their rationality today that they can barely grasp things which are from the most basic points of rationality we want to present to them an alternative world view where we say look at the end of the day everything which has limitations is created but not our God who also has limitations who by the way if you don't believe he has limitations you're committing an act of kufr because the Salaf believed that is this really the Islam that we want to be presenting ask yourselves ask yourself from this day do we have a religion which is worthy of presenting to the wider world and more importantly how do we engage with the differences of opinion within the school of thought I already mentioned in the previous episodes to the request of a brother in the email who sent me a particular email asking if I would be willing to debate any sonnies and by that I think he means Salafis because he did mention earlier in the email that I had misrepresented Salafis we find that the way they engage with such challenges is to ignore the differences of opinion can you believe that there is a false notion in this school of thought where you were told to shun people who disagree with you because they're the innovators and shun the people of innovation where are we going to get in rational dialogue if that's the case if we have to shun innovators then where will we get your brothers and sisters I thank you so much for joining me on this live show I apologize that we were not able to get any further into the concept of world views but inshallah tomorrow we shall begin with that particular analysis thank you so much once more for joining me live from the holy city of Karbala assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh


Hello and welcome to the International Daily Roundup by People's Dispatch, where we bring you major news developments from around the world. Our headlines, Briscoe widespread famine looms amid re-escalation of civil war in Tigray, Chancellor Angra Merkel's US visit met with protests for vaccine patent waivers. Lebanon's PM-designated Saad Hariri resigns his deadlock over cabinet continues. And in our video section, we take a look at the first-year anniversary since the historic strike by app-delivery workers in Brazil. In our first story, the re-escalation of fighting in Ethiopia's Tigray region is placed at 6 million people at risk of full-blown famine. Despite the declaration of a unilateral cease-fire by Prime Minister Abbi Ahmed, the civil war has continued. By June 30, the Tigray People's Liberation Front had besieged several towns including Merkel, Adigrat, Alva and Axlum. Since the conflict began in November 2020, the Ethiopian federal troops have been joined by Eritrean soldiers and the ethnic Amhara militias. On July 12 in 13, the TPLF forces fought these militias to regain control over the fertile southern and western regions of Tigray. These areas are inhabited by both Tigray and Amhara people but have been claimed by the Amhara state. Prime Minister Ahmed had stated on June 28 that the cease-fire would hold until the end of the farming season. However, three Ethiopian regions confirmed on July 15 that they too were deploying troops to Tigray. As per local reports, forces from Aromia, Siddhama and the southern nations are mobilizing at the frontline. The violent conflict has pushed over 350,000 people into famine. Farmers have lost over 90% of their harvest since last year. Over 87% of households were estimated to have used up their food stock at the start of June. Between May and June, 70% of people surveyed were suffering from acute food insecurity. 1.8 million people have been classified under emergency levels of food insecurity at 1.9 million people under crisis. The figures are part of the integrated food security phase classification report. Further expansion of war in Amhara will increase chances of famine given that 1 million people are in the state are in the state in the state is already facing a food crisis. We now go to the United States where protests were held in different parts of the country as German Chancellor Angela Merkel arrived for her 19th official visit. The outgoing head of state met with President Joe Biden in Washington DC on July 15. Meanwhile, activists were part of the Free the Vaccine Alliance held demonstrations in several cities. They were demanding that the Chancellor stop blocking patent waivers for COVID-19 vaccines. Rich countries including the G7 had consistently stalled efforts to issue a trips waiver to expand manufacturing. 63 countries including India and South Africa have submitted a three-year proposal to lift patents on necessary medical supplies. While several countries including the US have expressed support for this measure, no significant progress has been made. As a result, the global vaccine gap has continued to widen. Less than 3% of the population of the entire African continent has received one dose. Meanwhile, there has been a 43% increase in COVID-19 deaths on a week-to-week basis. Body bags were placed outside the White House along with a puppet resembling Merkel on Thursday. Paners with slogan including delay is equal to death and free vaccines were also placed. Another protest was held at the John Hopkins University where Merkel received a non-redegree. Great Justice and Health Advocacy groups including Oregon Nurses Association and Portland Jobs with Justice also held protests. A major demonstration was held outside the headquarters of Pfizer in New York City. The pharmaceutical giant has produced one of the leading COVID-19 vaccines while consistently opposing waivers. A sit-in demonstration was held by groups including People's Action, HealthCap and AIDS Advocacy Group. Our next story is from Lebanon where Prime Minister Resignate Saad Haridi has resigned. He made the announcement on July 15 following a meeting with President Michel Aoun. Haridi stated that the president had not approved his list of proposed cabinet members. This is the second time that Haridi has resigned as Prime Minister, the first time following the mass anti-government protest in 2019. His government has tried to impose fresh taxes amid rising poverty while failing to provide basic public services. He was then designated to take over the post in October 2020 after the Beirut port blast in August. The then Prime Minister Hassan Diab resigned after the explosion killed over 200 people and injured over 6000. In a statement published in the National News Agency, Haridi accused the president of blocking the cabinet formation. In an official statement, the president had stated that Haridi had rejected amendments related to ministries, sectarian distribution, etc. News of Haridi's resignation led to protests by supporters in several areas. He had supposedly wanted to form a technocratic cabinet which would mean that most of his members would not be elected representatives. This would also compromise the sectarian representation mandated by the constitution. Despite popular demands for such reforms, the parties holding a majority in the parliament who opposed them. The political deadlock has worsened Liberans' economic crisis. The caretaker government has cut down fuel, medicine and food subsidies. The price of subsidized bread has been increased by 18 percent. The fifth increase this year. The currency has lost over 90 percent of its value and widespread power outages have been reported. And for our final story, we go to Brazil which recently marked one year since a historic strike by app delivery workers. Drivers working for food companies in Uber held protests in São Paulo in July 2020. As Brazil went into lockdown, the number of people working for delivery companies increased. As of April 2021, the food app alone had 160,000 active workers. Despite its increase in demand, app workers continue to face poor working conditions and low pay. Moreover, they classified as freelancers and companies claim that they have the freedom to set their working hours. And after the strike, the conditions have still not improved. Here is a video featured by Brazil's Fatou and the workers' struggle. No material change occurred. Rates didn't go up. There was no emergency aid for app delivery workers. I keep challenging the owner of the food app to a debate, but he doesn't even respond. He pretends like we don't even exist. But he has changed the minds of delivery workers.  If the strike is not done right, it's just pyrotechnics. If the people don't go to the streets in the right way having a go, a strategy and a tactic, it is just pyrotechnics. It will only be nice to take a picture, to take a picture, to make a video and to pretend that the people are getting organized. It takes time to organize this category. To me, uberization is a consequence of the industrial revolution. Technology should support the improvement of workers' lives. Machines should support workers to produce more, produce more in order to gain more and work less. But bosses understand that that technology can do the work of 10 employees. They instruct just one employee to operate the machine and fire all the other 9 workers. Thus, a thing that was to support the workers happens to take their jobs. Today, we have a new technology, which is the app. The mobile phone is 1984 by George Oro. It controls you. The app delivery worker works all day long like a dog. From night in the morning till midnight doing low-pink deliveries. For heis, 5 heis. Then, when he's coming back home, the app brings a 35 heis delivery. There is no need for a boss ordering huge work anymore. Many app delivery workers say, I can turn on and off the app at any time. I set up my schedules. Then it is necessary to approach him and war him by saying, this is a lie. You don't wake up when you want. You wake up when the devs tell you to do so.


Can you relate? You wake up in the morning feeling a deep sense of unease. You grab your phone and almost instinctively open a private browser window. The minutes turn into hours as you find yourself immersed in taboo content. Unable to tear yourself away. Throughout the day, that guilt and shame linger, overshadowing your interactions and activities. Does this sound familiar? Today, we're going to shed light on the symptoms of porn addiction. Remember, you're not alone and understanding these signs can help you navigate this challenging issue. With that said, here are eight symptoms of porn addiction. Compulsive consumption. Do you find yourself constantly seeking out pornography? Unable to resist the urge even when you know it's not healthy. It's like being trapped in a cycle where the need for porn consumes your thoughts and actions, overshadowing everything else. You feel that constant pull always searching for that next fix to satisfy an insatiable craving. This impulsive need for porn, where it becomes a central focus of your thoughts and actions, is a key symptom of addiction. Research conducted by Dr. Valerie Voon, a neuroscientist and expert in compulsive behaviors, suggests that excessive pornography consumption can lead to changes in the brain, similar to other forms of addiction. Recognizing this pattern and acknowledging the control it has over your life is essential in seeking the support you need. Increased tolerance. Have you noticed that you need more and more explicit or extreme forms of pornography to experience the same level of excitement or satisfaction?  You find yourself constantly seeking out more graphic content, searching for novelty and intensity to feel any pleasure. Sociologist and author Dr. Gail Dines explains that continued exposure to pornography can desensitize the brain, requiring stronger stimuli to achieve the same level of arousal. If you find yourself constantly seeking out more extreme content, it might be a sign of a problematic relationship with porn. Withdrawal symptoms. Do you experience intense anxiety, irritability, or restlessness when attempting to cut down or stop watching pornography? It's like your body and mind revolt against the idea of going without it. You feel an overwhelming urge, like a physical craving that can't be ignored. Neuroscientist and addiction expert Dr. Judith Grisel explains that the brain becomes dependent on the release of dopamine that occurs during porn consumption, leading to withdrawal-like symptoms when it's removed. Recognizing these symptoms can be the first step towards seeking help. Interference with daily life. Do you find yourself neglecting work, social activities, or personal goals because of excessive porn use? It's like an invisible source that gradually seeps into every area of your life, eroding your ability to focus and achieve your aspirations. The time and energy dedicated to porn starts to overshadow other important aspects of your life, leaving you feeling unfulfilled. Dr. Kevin Skinner, a licensed therapist specializing in pornography addiction, highlights the importance of recognizing the negative impact on daily functioning as a sign that intervention is necessary.

Have you experienced negative consequences as a result of your porn consumption, such as strained relationships, decreased self-esteem, or problems with intimacy? It's like a ripple effect, spreading its destructive force into every aspect of your life.  These escalating consequences affecting your emotional well-being and connections with others are clear indicators that intervention is necessary. Psychotherapist and expert on sexual addiction, Dr. Paula Hall, emphasizes the need to acknowledge these consequences and the potential for long-term damage to personal relationships. It's important to remember that healing and recovery are possible, and seeking professional help can provide the necessary support to address these challenges and cultivate healthier relationships and self-esteem. Failed attempts to quit. Have you tried to cut back or quit watching pornography but found yourself unable to do so successfully? It's like fighting an uphill battle, with each attempt to quit, met by overwhelming urges and a sense of defeat. The desire to quit is there, but the addiction seems to have a tight grip, making it difficult to break free. Psychologist and expert in behavioral addictions, Dr. Mark Griffiths, explains that the inability to quit despite negative consequences is a classic sign of addiction. Remember, friends, addiction is a complex issue, and it takes strength and support to overcome it. Don't hesitate to reach out for professional assistance and guidance on your journey to recovery. You deserve a life free from the grip of addiction, and there is hope for a brighter future. Preoccupation and loss of interest. Define yourself preoccupied with thoughts of pornography, constantly planning the next viewing session and losing interest in other activities.  Psychotherapist and expert on sexual trauma, Dr. Marianne Layton highlights the importance of recognizing the preoccupation and loss of interest as warning signs of addiction that require attention. By seeking professional guidance, you can regain control over your thoughts and redirect your energy towards healthier and more fulfilling pursuits. Don't hesitate to reach out and start your journey to recovery. Do any of these symptoms resonate with you?
