इसरुटवार कै जवादाी लगता लगता है आजो अगावे यह दश्यकिए न ட़ेठ्याना उचार्जग। तब उन्बजाते अके ज़ाते आखा है। तब आखापि आपनी यह ज़ाते आप आपना खलागते है। सु we have to be careful क्यों कोंट से hidden traps है है which can come in our dacian effectiveness. इस मकसत के लिये we have to understand के there are sometimes bad dacians. उआप दो थाश्टन के एक बहतिलिन से बहतिलिन डश्टन भी वो गलती का शिकार वो हो सकता है. उस मकसत के लिये there are few things that we need to come up with for the detail. First thing which you need to understand is that bad decisions can damage a business and a career sometimes irreparably because बाजवकात हम आसे नुखसान का सामना कर बैटते हैं जहाँ से Revival आपके लिए मुमकिन नहीं होगा वहाँ से Recovery आपके लिए पोसीबल वह नहीं होती So decision making के अपर इतना ज़ादा emphasis इसलिये किया जारहा है के हम उन bad decisions को avoid कर सकें हम उन bad decisions को identify कर सकें और हम येज जान सकें के वो कोन से circumstances हो सकते हैं जिस में के the bad decisions can take place जिस में के decisions effectiveness can be reduced Now remember, decisions effectiveness के लिए the second thing which you need to understand के bad decisions can be traced back when the alternatives were not clearly defined तो हम उस वकत ही bad decisions के बारे में के जब हमने तमाम alternatives को properly elaborate नहीं किया properly discuss नहीं किया properly explore नहीं किया so remember alternatives are basically there to evaluate us for our decision making हमें येभी देकना होगा के हमने किं किन alternatives को pick किया उन alternatives के outcomes trade-offs associated factors वो क्या क्या थे because अगर हमने alternatives को properly defined नहीं किया properly elaborate नहीं किया तो तब हम bad decisions के तरव वो जासकते है the third phenomena in the decision making तो हमें जहन में रखना होगा वो ये है that bad decisions can be traced back when the right information was not collected अगर information deficiency हो information appropriate नहो information में असे filters लग जाए जो filters information को उसकी effectiveness में reduce कर दें obviously उस उन्फरमेशन पर बेस्ट आपका जो फैस्टा होगा वो नुक्सान दे हो सकता है वो खराब हो सकता है और बड़े से बड़ी corporation भी sometimes bad decisions का सामना वो कर लेती है the reason being के वहापर information की manipulation वो बहुत हत तक possible हो जाती है the fourth phenomena which we have to understand is that the bad decisions can be traced back when we are not able to evaluate things in terms of their opportunity cost and opportunity loss when we are not able to understand what is our benefit and what is our loss then obviously in that situation the bad decision is the outcome bad decision is the result during traveling towards that bad decision sometimes there can be certain heuristics heuristics means that there are certain judgmental shortcuts for example there can be stereotype there can be hollow effect there can be recency error there can be projection error many biases many prejudices can come in front of us which reduce the effectiveness of decision making so heuristics which are technically judgmental shortcuts what they can do is that the way the human brain can sabotage our decisions we will have to see how our mind can impact our decisions because in our mind many thoughts our cognitive part our belief system our value system these are all things our decision making will have an effect we use unconscious routines to cope with the complexity inherent in most decisions and for this purpose we have to go towards mindfulness exercises we have to visualize our psychodynamic developments that we can control our unconscious mind processes and we can trigger and develop conscious mind processes therefore remember that heuristics are sensory misperceptions biases and irrational anomalies in our thinking our thinking pattern the heuristics in our mind affect or impact like our selective perception last but not the least point is that the best defense is always awareness from any psychological trap and that is the same awareness about which we discuss our emotional intelligence we do being a mindful leader we have to be very careful in the perspective of our emotional intelligence we have to bring our self-awareness we have to learn self-control we have to take the support of empathy, motivation and social intelligence only then we have to overcome our heuristics and we will be able to do the right decision dear students if we conclude all this then being a leader being emotionally intelligent is very important every person will be emotionally intelligent but we need to make ourselves more intelligent on a conscious level only then we can overcome our biases, prejudices our heuristics thank you


Hello friends welcome back to another episode here on the channel my name is Lee also known as Osiris And we've got something really special for all of you today.

I do play guitar and a couple of bands, so I'm not I'm not always uploading regularly as well But whenever I have something to share with youtube, I always upload it. I did some openings in the past Uh, so yeah, this is not my first time opening boxes or packs Yeah, very experienced man, and you're very modest about the guitar and the music the musical Talents that you have as well man.

We've got The champions path Elite trainer box we've both got one. So here's my one and um, yeah, so what we're gonna do is open it up We're gonna open all the packs up one at a time I guess it will just be it's it's gonna be obvious who has the better cards in each pack and should we say hopefully both of us put that Elusive Zard. Yeah Yeah, definitely. I mean, should we make a rule if someone pulls the shining Zard that that that they ought to win. They ought to win. Yeah, okay. Yeah, fair enough Do you think or either Zard because either either Charizard card in the in the set is is what both of us are chasing So, uh, we could go for we could go for either wins Yeah Hopefully both of us win tonight. That would be that would be best. I don't want anyone Yeah, I'm super nervous about this because I'm like I have a feeling I've had a feeling because we obviously planned this a little while ago Had a feeling that like all day. I'm just like I'm just I've got this like like An unwavering confidence that we're both gonna pull the Zard card tonight. Like heck yeah, man I can guarantee I just feel it. I just feel like it's gonna happen You know when you're like it's just gonna happen. It's just gonna happen It sounds so crazy to say this, but I just think it is So, um, should we just crack into it? Should we crack into it? Okay, let's go and the big thing guys as well before I get into it Like Beben got his box on like the weekend and he's waited all week to open this so like massive Big credit to you dude. Yeah, so thank you for for hanging on and doing this. I'm gonna see if I can Grab something To to open this with Get into this one here. I need to get myself like a knife. I'm I'm like I'm terrible I just pick up anything with a point and just kind of Stab away. I do have a swiss knife, but uh, I don't know my fingers just dig into Solopane and get it right solid fingers Really want to be careful of this I go saying to you I got this one and the cellophane feels like really Like loose on on the pack And you know, sometimes they're like really tight. It does make me feel like yeah, possibly fake But hopefully not. Okay. So here we go. I'm gonna I'm gonna show off the promo Oh, yeah, you do that. So likes Yeah, there's a the nice book if no one's seen it you get all the cards in there and then it's nice sleeve I think the centering on this one looks so good, man. By the way What do you think? Yeah, it looks really nice. What's the back line? Yeah Oh, man, I think I think this is like a very good Top to bottom. It looks a little more on top. Yeah on the bottom But the left and right are just perfect Awesome. All right, let's have a look. Here we go. Oh okay That looks pretty good on my end. I think I think Uh, it's a little it's a little off. Um, it's a little more on the right to the left. Um, Yeah, I think so, but and the same on the back as well. I mean, it's all right. It's all right It's that's the that's the bonus card that we get there the lights. Yeah on this cellophane. It's not ideal But there we go. I know I just don't want to open it now And then obviously you get a little train of book I'm sure you guys know what you get in it like some nice dice. You get some nice counters and things like that Which is it's nice. It's nice. It's nice. Um, and the sleeves are super nice as well, dude, aren't they? Yeah, of course. I mean I already opened a couple of boxes. So I have some loose Sleeves here. Nice Yeah, I so far like I've opened three etbs and still no Charizard Yeah, this would be my second one Yeah, and these are and also like to Go on these packs are like gold dust as well like these boxes are like gold dust So they're really difficult to get a hold of yeah, and they're super expensive. So Yeah, unfortunately. Yeah And I don't see that kind of changing anytime soon either, you know with the the the whole hype at the minute around the Dazzard, it's like yeah Yeah, but let's just hope we get something good out of these packs and the parts are brutal the the poles are brutal from From champions path. They're really brutal Apart from people are calling this set right now. Well They're calling it match champions path because of all the matchups that you get out of these bats Oh, dude, I had I had um those the the trainer boxes.  I was like disgusting.  Sorry.

I tell you the poles are brutal from these boxes. They're they're just it's also so insane how like Hollows now are so worthless when like in the uh, they said you're every hollows just like worth a thousand plus now Yeah, it's crazy, isn't it? It's like it's it's weird how it's changed like the full arts have just completely Changed the whole kind of scene of pokemon cards. Like I I don't know like there's something about like just the hollows That I really like, you know, uh, but the full arts some of them are just amazing. So Yeah I don't know Anyways, we have a guard of war pack here. So we do I already have the full art guard of war gx. So it's such a nice card as well, man. Such a nice card Looks so good Come on.

Yeah, but the previous two packs. I mean What did you have you had a match up? I think the match up is like an auto loss. I would say I'm not gonna argue with that Yeah, okay Okay, let's move on to your pack. Okay. Well, we'll sort scores at the end dude Yeah I mean the first pack. Uh, what did I get? It was a reverse morning So that's a rare and tennis court Okay, and I got the I got the um, the hollow energy And the uh, that's a tuffy. That's a tuffy and then the like and rock So, yeah Put a card All right one two three four we're gonna I'm gonna stick with fire again Water. Oh, man. It's not the sign.

They're not even like the fakes the fakes Have been hard Yeah, code card for all of you find people out there. One, two, three, four, and let's go. Let's go lightning steel. No, okay. I'm metal energy. This is such a nice card. I really love the artwork on this.  I think it's such a it's such a really nice card. It's just a common, but I mean. I'm not going to lie. Most of the most of the arts in this set are pretty nice. Yeah, they the Ekans one is cool. Yeah, but the match up is also very nice. Yeah. Yeah. OK, we got Vulpx Portion. We've got a reverse hollow Vulpx and. Oh, man. Hollow obstacle. OK, I think this is a tie, right? Yeah, we'll take. I'll take a tie. OK, so how many packs do we have left six? Yeah, six packs. Yeah, so this is halfway. Yeah, this is halfway now. Yeah. Oh, man, come on, come on, come on, come on, you packs. Give us the good stuff. Come on. Get some good stuff. OK, so. Right. One, two, three, four, one, two. Let's see what you've got. Let's do it. All right. Inkay. Hatana. Yeah. Kikune. Rockruff. Vulpx. Unlisted leaf energy, as he would like to say it. Sonia. Lou also a big shout out to Lou. Yes. Beedrill. Milo. Reverse is a machop. And is that God? I mean, it's a consolation. It's nice, but it's not it's not the one. Is it? Oh, man, it's not the one, dude. These have been these have been brutal, dude. These have been brutal. I've got to get like these next pack. These next packs, they've got to start. I haven't even had a full art, dude. Have you pulled energy? I mean, these yet? Nothing. I don't think so. I've had nothing. Like literally nothing good. Cut cut. Cut cut cut cut. One, two, three, four. It's got to change now. It's got to change. Steel energy again. I don't think it is going to. Piers. Piers Morgan. Lipod. Kabu. Nick it. Roller Coley. Skrags. Lanoon. Weedle. Kavana and Marni. Come on. OK. OK. I have another obstacle in pack here. Man, this is brutal. They're like this is so heartbreaking, man. Like we we paid a lot for these easy these because of how rare they are. And everyone is like, you know, selling them for very high prices. And this is all we get. Yeah, it's it's starting to feel like the real value of these. It is just having them sealed. Yeah, I feel like that maybe. But it's I can't I can't like. I can't not open if I've got them. I know, I know. It's like so hard to. Yeah. Hold up. Anyways, I have a Vulpix. Yep. Inkay. Pokéball. Cis Lapid. Zigzagoon. And lightning energy. Road on bike. I pause because I know there's something in the back now. Oh, really? Are you ready? Yeah. Yeah, come on. Come on. I proportion. Shapito. We call your verse. Are you ready, Lee? Yeah, come on. Be that's odd. Oh, I mean, it's a nice card. I don't have incineroar yet. So I'm not going to complain honestly. That's nice. It's nice. Yeah, yeah. OK, well, we've got. Yeah, OK. Centering is awful, though. Oh, my God. Oh, yeah. Wow. Wow. Ew. Ew. Yeah. OK, right. Let's get the next one, which what we got. Dreadnull. I dread opening this pack to see what's not inside it. There's the code card, friends. One, two, three, four. And there will not be another match, another match amp. Let's go fire. Psychic. OK. Victini. Absol. Great ball. Perloin. Full heal. Galerian lanoon. Another vulplex. Rockruff. Reverse hollow ulterior. That's nice. And I think I've got something, dude. But I don't think it's. Our creamy V. I don't have this. So that's that's it's a nice card, but it's not. I mean, it's a consolation at the minute, isn't it? Yeah, definitely. So I think you kind of win this round because you pulled the reverse rare. I only pulled the reverse uncommon. OK. Just actually like a common one as well. Oh, yeah. In the old series, nice. OK, well, we've got we've got we've got one, friends. Come on, we've got one. I mean, we still have four packs to go, so. Yeah, he's still got four. So it's still we're still in the game. Yeah. I wish at this point I had a set of scales and I could just weigh them and just be like, OK, I mean, I feel like the newer sets can no longer be weighed. Am I right? I don't know. I don't know. I'm not really 100 percent. I would say the the secret way res must weigh more than a regular card. Yeah, yeah, slightly, slightly. But you'd need super sensitive skills, which I don't have. So, yeah. Don't wear your pants, peeps. Don't we have a galarian zigzagoon? Yeah. Cacuna, roly-coly, rubbish, potion. Psychic energy, Kabul. Lightport. Pierce reverse is another light part and Altaria. OK. Snapping with the Altaria. OK, well, we're going to go with a manless pack is damaged. OK. Oh, no. Please don't have the choice. Yeah, we're going to go with a God of War next. See if we can get anything. I love God of War as well. It's one of my all time favorite Pokemon. So if we're ever going to get anything good, it's going to be from God of War pack, I feel. This is going to be the one, maybe. One, two, three, four, let's go with fire energy. Fighting close. Kabul, Sonia or Lulu. Pikachu, Lou, Victini, Skraggy. Zigzagoon, Cislipeed, Pokéball, Incai and Pokemon Center Lady. And oh, all right. OK, there's two that's two back to back. We're Lord V. It's a nice card. Don't have this one either. But nice, nice. OK, well, three more packs to go. I have two obstacles, so I'm just going to open one of them. Three obstacles. Yeah, OK. Literally the full rates. The brutal obstacle. Get out of every pack. Come on, obstacle in pack number one. Be good. Come on, come on. So we have Perloin, Pokéball, Incai, Lion Zigzagoon, Trubbish, literal trash. Metal energy, Pierce, Suspicious Swootin, another Lou Cart, I want to say. Reverse Hyper Potion and Marnie Hollow. OK, OK. Well, it's all right. I'm going to keep this this God of War pack until the very end. That's going to be my last one I open. So we've got a Dreadnought and we've got an Alchemy. I think I'm going to go with the Dreadnought first because I feel like Dreadnought just lets me down.  OK, so that's my logic here. I have some weird thoughts and how things work. But sometimes it works out.  Right, one, two, three, four. Can we pull that Charizard? You're to tap on the back for a little good luck. We've got a water energy, got a Hyper Potion, Shapido, Lipod, Kekuna, Weedle. Where's my B-Drill, Pokéball, Cislipeed, Machop, Obstagoon and Centiskorch. Brutal. Last two, last two. Brutalatops. Should I go with the Obstagoon or the Dreadnought? I don't know, dude. I would get the Dreadnought out the way. I think the Dreadnought. Dreadful, Dreadful, Dreadnought. Yeah, the curse of Dreadnought. Do that one. Watch this one, I'll have the Zard in it, for any of them to. I don't mind. Just give it to me already. Just one of them, have it in. OK. So. We have Carvana. It's well blue. Orpix. Trubbish. Roli-Coli. Is this a sign? That's a sign. Is this a sign? Victini. Kabu. Reverse in-key and... Come on. Oh, got a warpy. Still good. Nice. That is a nice card, dude. Yeah, definitely. That is a good card. That's a good pull. Yeah, it's a centering line. Centering, honestly, looks perfect. It looks really good, actually. Yeah. Yeah, look at the top to bottom. Yeah, looks nice. And the front is also really good. Yeah, nice pull, mate. Nice pull. Awesome. Second to last pack. Come on, Alchemy. Everyone loves cake. Cake only does. Cake gives you good things. Good feelings. Yes, yes, yes.  You should make us happy now. Come on. Right, code card. One, two, three, four.  I've been chasing it. We're going to get it. And it's dark. Oh, goodness. Cabo, bead, beade, bedding, whatever. Turfield Stadium, Ekans, Skrags, Full Heel, Rockruff, Zigzagoon, Lichenrock, Reverse Hollow, and a Zygarde. That's trash. It's all going to come down to the last pack. The last pack, yeah. I can't believe we've already reached the last pack without full rights, at least. Yeah, that's all I've got from this box. I have a few hollows, of course. Surprisingly, only one Machamp. Yeah, now you've said it, dude. Yeah, and then three Vcoids. I've got one Machamp. I've got, yeah. So there's the Lichenrock twice, I think. No, Lichenrock once, Hatterain, Machamp, Marnie, Sensor Gorge, Zygarde, and then the two Vs. Yeah, I did pull the Reverse. Reverse Rare, yeah, Lichenrock. OK, last pack. Oh, my god. OK, let's go for it, mate. Hopefully this is the one. Come on. Come on. Give us some last pack magic. OK, we have a Tenna, NK, a Weedle, Goliath Linoon, Carvana, Psychic Energy, Rotom Pike, Sharpedo, Piers. Oh, finally, Reverse Fire. I don't have that one. Nice. That is really nice. And final card, Obstagoon. Of course it has to be an Obstagoon. I'm sorry, dude. I'm so sorry, dude. Oh, man. Can we redeem? Epsom chat for my box. Can we redeem it for you guys, for you, mate, with the God of War that I've saved for last? You get some last pack magic. Come on. Some last pack magic. That's all we need. OK, well, there is the card card. One, two, three, four.  We'll go for it. Fire. It is grass. OK, I'm just going to say this now. It's a spoiler, but there is something there, dude. All right, all right. There's something there. It is glistening. Come on. It is glistening. This is the last pack magic. We'll give it a tap. Yes. Right. Grass or leaf or whatever doing. There's the bee deer you visit on the continent. You want to maybe lower the hand a little bit. Yeah, that's better. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right here. Yeah. We want to see that final card. Yeah, Tuffield Stadium, Rotten Fawn, Rolly Coley, Matchup, Volpex, Portion, Kavana, Pokeball, and I can't do it. I can't do it. I can't do it. Come on. Come on. And OK, peers. OK, that's a super nice card. That's not the Zardar. This is really nice. Man, I honestly thought it was going to be the Zardar. Me too, dude. I really did. Especially when you see the spikes in that. And I was like, oh my god, this is a lot. But yeah. Yeah, never mind. OK. But still, it's a really good pull. Yeah, it's a really nice pull. You can't be mad. No, I got the rose from, I think, rose on Milo. I think Milo already. So Piers is very cool. He's like one of my favorites from the Sword and Shield gym leaders. So yeah. Yeah, he's the punk rock guy. Yeah, he's very cool. Very cool. I mean, I feel like you win this box opening, I feel, because of the last card. Do you think? Yeah, I mean, I only got regular Vs, and just one reverse energy card. So. Yeah, I got. So I got one reverse energy in the fairy. Yeah.  But no Zard, man. No Zard, man. I mean, we do get one Zard, so. Yeah, that is true. We do get the Zard from the box. And that's the consolation Zard. But I think you're right in saying that the boxes are probably, ah, it's hard. And the boxes are probably worth more shield than they are opening, because the pulls just feel so brutal. And you're going to have to open a lot of packs to get, actually, the shining Zard. Unless you get lucky, and that's always a possibility with these, so. You know, that is, that could happen. So heartbreaking, man.  We should do this more often. I really hope you have enjoyed it. It's been, it's been fun opening these together, doing it as a little battle. Yeah, very much, man. This was amazing. Yeah, and thanks for coming on and doing it. Honestly, it's amazing. Thanks for sitting on that box for so long and waiting for mine to arrive. My pleasure. So, yeah, it's been great. And I hope you guys at home have enjoyed it as well. If you have, let us know down in the comment. Let us know what your opinions on the pull rates of Champions Path would love to hear if you've been opening them and what you think of the cards that we've pulled today. And if you've enjoyed the episode, of course, do let us know. We'd love to. And if you'd like to see us do something similar, again, that would be cool. I can't guarantee that I'd be able to get a hold of one of those hidden, hidden fates that luxury box collections, because they're like gold dust. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I honestly paid like a hefty fee for this one, but it's gonna be worth it, hopefully. Yeah, it'll be amazing, dude. That'll be so cool. Was there anything you wanna say before we wrap it up there, mate? No, just I wanna thank you for having me here. On this video, it was a really, really fun experience. I've never done anything like this before. So thank you for having me, man.  And always welcome back, always. And definitely we'll do this again. Yeah, hopefully we can do another one like this. Yeah, we'll try. And we'll try and maybe get another one of these boxes and do it again and see if we can do it. Or maybe one of the other box, but still go champions path. We will defeat you. All right, friends, have a great rest of your day. Thanks so much for tuning in, and we will see you all for another episode very soon. So until then, take care and bye-bye.

I I do proofing of articles and I even do some editing a podcast So so I have quite a range of responsibilities. It keeps the job interesting Well first we go through the manuscript to make sure that it has all the correct components We try to keep the submission process as easy as possible So really you can as long as you have everything that you're the submission requires you can kind of submit it however, you want to in any format you want to and we do run a cross-check report on all submissions, which is basically identifying what we call duplicate text, which is Basically when text it has been taken from a previously published work. That's not properly cited So we do that check make sure it has all the correct components and then we will send it off to be reviewed It's reviewed usually by two reviewers and our associate editor and editor in chief and Then we have a decision and we contact the author and that's pretty much the standard process


The study investigates the impact of magnetic bubbles buried curvature on their dynamics in dipolar magnets, revealing that the non-uniform distribution of the curvature induces coupled internal deformation and center of mass motion dynamics. This article was authored by Watari Koshibi and Noito Nagarosa.


I've spotted something playing Call of Duty I can't now un-see. Did you notice? Look again, upon being killed the dogs change breed.


Hi there, it's DJB and in this video I am very excited to announce within the year of 2020 I completed my very first original sculpture. That means that I have sculpted a horse from tinfoil and wire. This is a really big step in my equine artistry journey. It opens up a ton of doors. The first one is always the hardest and so I think there's this natural progression you take as a model horse customizer and an equine artist. You know you start with briars and you start painting briars and then eventually you get kind of bored of the molds available so you'll tweak them. Maybe changing the mane, maybe changing the ears, maybe changing one of the legs and you'll kind of subtly customize them into different forms. Then afterwards you might get a little braver and you'll start actually hacking the models up and making drastic customs and then maybe you'll completely sand down models and completely re-sculpt over top of them but nothing is as unique as sculpting from scratch and I mean tinfoil and wire. There's something in the brain that disconnects and makes it so much harder than briar customizing and that has always been my problem is drastic has been really fun for me but that making that step into original sculpture is really difficult because you no longer have any guidelines and so I have tried to attempt multiple original sculptures over the years. None of them have really gotten anywhere. I think there's this kind of stigma within the hobby that you know resin models and original sculpture work needs to be hyper realistic. I struggle with this immensely because I really like realistic work and I'm really impressed by realistic work but I know the reality of realism to that extent takes so many years of practice and even though I've been studying the horse since I was five years old I can't say that I understand the muscles and everything when it comes to creating a three-dimensional horse. Your first sculpture is not going to be a pier or an enemies or a storm watch. That takes so many years to get to that point so I had this mental block because if it wasn't perfect I couldn't justify it as an original sculpture. One night I kind of had a crappy day and I wanted to draw and I couldn't even like draw anything decent and there's certain days like that where you try to do art and it just is not working the way that you want it to work and so I was sketching, sketching, sketching and then I finally sketched this green horse and I didn't use reference part it just came out of my mind I just wanted flow and I sketched it in a green pencil crayon and I named that sketch Orin and Orin means the green one and I thought to myself why not make this original sculpture? Why not throw caution to the wind? Why not stop comparing myself to these great artists that have been practicing for 10 plus years and just sculpt a horse just just a horse it doesn't have to be realistic it doesn't have to be perfect it can have style it can have flair it can have motion that doesn't make sense just sculpt a horse it's gotta look like a horse that mindset of saying like it doesn't have to be realistic I don't have to sculpt like Kylie Parks I just have to sculpt a horse it like set my mind free and I was able to create my very first original sculpture Orin it's not just photographs so he's like classic size a little bit on the smaller side and he's very like shapely like he's very dynamic and dramatic and he doesn't really make a lot of sense anatomically this hind leg is very incorrect and his anatomy in general isn't like perfect but he's a horse and he has flow and he has style I really like how he's turned out and I like that he's stylized because I don't think there's a lot of art out there that is stylized in the hobby and I have a very stylized way of doing way of drawing way of sculpting way of painting the base is kind of makeshift and I don't love how the tail turned out I want to finish this before 2020 ends so I just finished it called it a day but I think I would go back and just make that tip of the tail a little more pointy so I'm going to share a little bit about the progress of how I created him because I think that's super interesting I posted this album of photos on Instagram but I would like to talk through them because there's some talking points that definitely goes along with it so he actually only took four months to complete from wireframe to finished sculpture on the last day of august was when I drew the sketch and that same night I made the wire armature and I find this step the most difficult I hate working with wire is really finicky it doesn't do what you want it to it doesn't stay where you want it to and I find it really frustrating overall that particular step is usually like the biggest feat if I can make an armature out of wire then usually I'm good so I added tin foil to the wire just to create kind of a better silhouette almost like the inner skeleton so kind of bulking out the chest bulking out the neck rib cage so that you kind of have more feel as to what the final piece will turn out with and you can check your proportions in that way once I had that I flushed out the whole thing in polymer clay so polymer clay is kind of a more plastic consistency it doesn't cure until you bake it so I had a couple days to kind of play with it and I just really roughly sketch it out essentially with clay fill it out so that I have form and I can put the little joints as little balls so that I know where the joints will eventually go it's easy because you can kind of put it down and come back the next day polymer is good because once you bake it you still can drill it you can sand it it's not as solid as epoxy it's more brittle but it works in this context and I really like using polymer in the initial phases because it gives me time so then once I'm happy with the initial form I baked the model and ironically he actually burnt really bad on one side and I really didn't have a base plan for him at all like a standing base I was just sculpting and I'm just hoping I'd figure it out later so through the process it was a little more difficult because he had to rest on his side to cure with epoxy and that wasn't always super ideal so I probably recommend creating a base you know with your original model but I started with my first layer of epoxy and that was kind of flushing out the face I like working on the face first because the face is the focal point it's the personality it's the heart it's the soul so I really like working on that so that I know kind of what the feel and the flow of the horse is going to be like so then once I had the head I was able to kind of flush out the rest of the body with another layer of epoxy and the feet I find the hardest one of the hardest parts so I kind of was making little like feet within this step though I realized that the amount of body mass was making the head look too short so there actually was a point where I had to cut the head in half in order to correct it and make it a little bit longer I like the phase where you have horse form because then it feels like drastic customizing so once I have like the basic bulk of the horse then I'm like okay I can shorten this leg I can lengthen the back I can do all these drastic customizing techniques once I have the horse form so that's the part that makes sense to me the initial horse form part is what I struggle with for sure and I find adding ears really accentuates you know what the personality of the horse is going to look like and I was able to sculpt feet and hoops then I added some hair and the hair just brings everything together and of course just slowly flushing everything out finding flaws but then I was able to stick into this base and the base was actually made out of plaster so plaster is a really crappy material it's what my boyfriend uses for a lot of his models and he'd given me this plaster base at one point but it was very uneven on the bottom and it had a lot of porous holes in it so I tried doing different things but I figured out that plaster actually like melts when you run rubbing alcohol over it so that was interesting and it's a very chalky brittle kind of consistency so using a resin or epoxy base is definitely obviously better and like I said it's kind of just a temporary thing to say that I finished the sculpture but if I ever do anything with him I will have to go back and revisit that and I just attached him with a little wire in his park foot and he was able to stand on that so I was pretty pleased and then obviously you know just added more hair more texture more details into the finished final piece all in all I'm really happy with how he turned out he's totally a djb piece in the sense that he's very stylized and very unique and very recognizable in my my way of sculpting and creating art at this time I am unsure if I will ever cast him or replicate him I've had a lot of interest a lot of people saying that they would like to see one I would love to have one just paint but I think I would have to modify a couple things to feel okay about casting him so I'm not sure I'm not sure he's the one I want to debut as a cast but just knowing that I have completed an original I hope you like him as much as I do thank you so much for supporting me through this journey it has been a lot of fun and I'm so proud of myself that I finally made that milestone and it's only up from here so thank you so much for watching this has been djb happy sculpting


I'm Lois Epoa Ochoa-Dante from Ghana, West Africa. I'm a second year PhD student at the Open University in the School of Engineering and Innovation, and I'm funded by the Global Challenges Research Fund. So my research project focuses on modifying the surfaces of materials to be able to absorb and degrade chemical organic compounds that are present in water bodies that you cannot see with your eyes using the power of the sun. So these materials are low-cost and environmentally friendly and they are able to absorb the highest part of the sun, which is the visible light. The long-term impact of the work is creating solar-powered water filtration systems for all mainly looking at developing countries using Ghana as a case study. Each year, millions of children under the ages of five die out of water-bond-related diseases, such as cholera and dysentery. And I've had my first kind of experience of lack of accessibility to clean water. So I think the main impact of this work is trying to save a life and save children who are future leaders in the long run. I think researching in the OU has been a very awesome experience. I've had the opportunity to be able to meet new people and also be able to learn new things. I've also had the freedom to be able to use state-of-the-art technology and its equipment and easy accessibility to leading academics to be able to help to direct your research focus. And most of the events that are organized as well has helped build me professionally and academically. I would like to use this opportunity to thank my supervisor, Professor Satish Krishnamathi and our interdisciplinary group that are helping to address global challenges in partnership with industries of the Open University and also creating that fun-loving and relaxing environment to make research in the Open University feel like home.


فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دادا دالا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وشدء لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل وشدء إلا سيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعليه وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بيحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد نحن في صراحة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم نتحدث عن رضاع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم وعليه والنساء صلى الله عليه وسلم Today in Shabbat and Ta'ala we're going to be speaking about استرضاع روه في بن سعد that the Prophet ﷺ was nursed in the people of بن سعد The tribe and the people who breastfed the Prophet ﷺ were the tribe of بن سعد عبد المطالب he tried to look for this is after the Prophet's father died and the Prophet's father passed away we all know that عبد المطالب the Prophet's grandfather took over the Prophet ﷺ affairs and عبد المطالب the grandfather he looked for المراضع على عادة العرب or على عادة أهلي مكة the norms of the people of مكة was they would look for somebody who would breastfeed who would nurse the child this was the Arabs' norms especially the people of مكة they would know to do that the child is born they would look for a person who would breastfeed and this woman who would breastfeed the child would be from أهل البادية from the people of the outskirts and Bedouins and the reason why they would look for a nursing woman is as إمام السوهيلي رحمه الله mentions ألمام السوهيليو he mentions in his كتاب الرغم الأرف he mentions reasons why they would look for a nursing woman who would breastfeed the child the first one is why they would look for a woman who would breastfeed the child and she would be from what من البادية she would not be from the city she would not be from the town she would be from the outskirts why, what is the wisdom behind it the first reason is ليانشة أطفل في الأعرابي that the child he grows up with the Bedouins فياقون أفصحا لسان إه and so his tongue becomes fluent in the language the language gets tainted in the cities and the towns it gets tainted the Bedouins of the other hand are people who are أهل فصاحة eloquent people and so when they speak and when they discuss their language is pure and it is untampered with it's not tampered with so they send the child over to the Bedouin to breastfeed are we all brothers and sisters that's the first wisdom and so when you look at Imam Al-Shafi'i رحمة الله the reason why he learned and he mentioned why he became eloquent in the Arabic language is because he left the city and that's what you would find in many cultures today if you want to learn the Somali language you go back to the life stock and you stay with these people the language will be pure and untampered are you with me I'm guessing the same if you want to learn Urdu you would go to the Heloubadia who again their language is pure and it's untampered with the second reason is ليكون أجلد ليجسمه وأجد دارا ألا يفارق الهيئة المعادية كما قال عمر عمر الخطاب the child he becomes أجلد what does أجلد means it means القوة that passed the child becomes strong when the child grows up in the Bedouin lifestyle he's not soft you look at the kids that are born in cities and towns you touch them they start crying straight away soft the kids that are born in the Bedouin lifestyle they know what pain is strong they have high level of endurance وليذلك عمر عمر الخطاب used to say إخ شو شنو وخ شو شبو وخ لو لقو وتمعدو وتمعددو كأنكم معد وإياكم التناعم used to say إخ شو شنو وخ شو شبو what he means by that is بي يسن who's خشنن like a wood in his religion in his clothing and also in his eating and in all of his affairs be tough strong واخ اللقو واخ لو لقو و تبعددوا. And be like a person شبه و غلو. Who is a tough strong well grounded individual كأنكم معدن. Like you are معدن. معدن is a people of the Arabs they were known for أهل غلر. They were a tough type of people. Be like that he said. و ياكم التلاعون. Stay away from this chicken and chip lifestyle. تلاعون. Fish and chips. This rooster parry parry. Leave that stuff. Live a life that doesn't involve تلاعون. That's the lifestyle of the Bedouin. You know what they would do? They would make the child go to sleep and he's hungry. And they would go to sleep. They are tough people like that. They are tough people like that. Because they have nothing to give the child. He doesn't have nothing to eat. The child learns hunger. He learns a full stomach. He learns that if he falls he has to get up. Keep it moving. No one's going to pick you up or hug you or run to you.  She's getting paid to breastfeed you. She doesn't have that for you. And they like that. And the third benefit of why the child will be sent to the Bedouin is This is most pure for the mind of the child. The child, the food that he eats from that lifestyle and the kind of way he lives. His mind is not tainted. He's not programmed. He freely thinks. He's around nature. And also in terms of birth the child he lives a healthy lifestyle. Health wise this is better for him. He's eaten fresh food. Not things that were refrigerated for months. He eats fresh food. Food that are not pasted.  Become plastic. So this is why they would make their children go to the Bedouin lifestyle. Now Insha'Allah وتعالى we're going to speak about how the Prophet ﷺ went into the hands of Bani Sa'ad. سعاديم لباكر this قبيلة. How they took him. The story is as followed. The nursing women they came to Makkah. أقبلت المراضع من الباديا. The women they came from the Badiah. And they came into the city of Makkah. يلتمسل they were looking for تربية أولاد الأشرافي. They were looking for nurturing and to raise and up bring the children of who the أشراف. The chiefs and the heads. Every woman was coming with the intention with the mindset of what. That she's going to take a child by the أشراف أهلي مكة. The heads of the people of Makkah. And the reason why they would do this is because if she took أشراف أهلي مكة. If she took the chief leader of Makkah or somebody who's of a high caliber. He's got a high position. If she takes his child. Most likely the money that she's going to get is going to be good. She's going to be well looked after financially. And this is what every woman is looking for. So all the women came. فاسترضع عبد المطالب بحفيده صلى الله عليه وسلم. براءة من قبيلة سعادة من بكر. عبد المطالب. What he did was he brought out the profit to this place where these women come. So he brought out the Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم. And he looked in these women. Somebody who could give or somebody who would take the profit. صلى الله عليه وسلم. And would choose him as the child in which they would best feed. حليمة بنت أبي ذوأي بن السعادية. And the name is حليمة بنت أبي ذوأي بن السعادية من مضر. She's from the people of مضر. ها أنها حزبا الحارث ابن عبد العزة. Both of them. أنها حزبا الحارث ابن عبد العزة. He's Kunya was abe kabcha. And they were both from the same tribe. حليمة بنت أبي ذوأي بن السعادية. أن الحارث ابن عبد العزة. The husband of حليمة السعادية. They were both what? They were both from the same tribe. Let us listen to حليمة بنت أبي ذوأي بن السعادية. Tell us the story of what took place. She's going to tell us. She said, this is her story now. She said خرجت من بلدها. She mentions that she left her city. But I told her with her husband. Her and her husband they left their village, their city. وابللها أنها تشاء بيبي ذيها. صغير ترضيعه. A little child which she breastfed. And of course she would have to have a little child to breastfeed in order to be able to breastfeed. So she had a child which she breastfed. في نسوة من بني سعادة بن بكرم. And so she went with, and she came out with a group of women who were from the same tribe that she was from. سعادة بن بكرم. A child was with her. And she came out with these women. تلتمس الرضاع بمكر. She was looking just like all the other women were. She was looking for a child to breastfeed from the children of مكر. And she said ودالك في سنة الشهباء. And that year was a year of الشهباء. سنة الشهباء means اي داة قحطن. It was a year of drought. There was no rain. There was no crops. None of that was there. لم تبقي لنا شيء. And nothing remained for us. We had nothing left. Everything was gone. Again the year is a year which is قحط. We have no crops. And لم تبقي لنا شيء. Nothing remained for us. No food, no nothing. قالت she said فخرجت على اتاني لي قمراء. She said I came out على اتاني. I came out with a donkey. A female donkey. That was specifically ours. That's what she took as a riding beast. لي قمراء. But she said This donkey was شديد البياض. Its whiteness was excessive. It was excessively white. معنا شاريفن. We also had اي ناقة مسدنة. We had a camel that aged. والله ما تبض بقطرة. This camel never The she camel Never had one job that came out of it. We couldn't produce no milk. والله ما تبض بقطرة. وما ننام ليلن. And at night we will not go to sleep. أجمع. The whole night we won't be able to sleep. من صبينا الذي معنا. Because of our son that is with us. We can't sleep. وَاَيْ مِنْ بُكَائِهِ مِنَ الْجُوْعِ. He would cry because of the excessive hunger that our son would endure. So all night we won't be able to sleep. The she camel that we have doesn't produce no milk. The donkey that we have is white. And we have our son with us. Who cries all night we can't sleep. وَمَا فِي ثَدَيَّا. And my breast has nothing. ما يُغْنِهِ that which suffices it. So I can't give my son a breast milk. My breast doesn't produce anything. وَمَا شَارِفِنَا مَا يُغْذِهِ يُغْذِهِ And the she camel that I have doesn't have any milk that I'm able to give to my son. وَلَا كِنَّا كُنَّا نَرْجُوا الْغَيْثَ. But the only thing that was making us go on was we were hoping rain might come down. وَالْفَرَجْ. الله might give us an opening. فَقَرَجْتُ عَلَى أَتَانِ تِلْكَ. فَلَقَدْ أَدَمْتُ الْرَكْبَ. حتى شق ذلك عليهم ضعفاً وعجفاً. She said, I came out with my donkey that I had. When I came, the hardship and the weakness and the pain that we endured was excessive. The donkey was slow. The word عجفاً means وزال. The she camel, sorry the donkey is weak. It can't work properly. So everybody is passing us. Everybody we have to say to them please wait for us. Cut wait. Don't go too fast from us. And we keep becoming we're dragging the whole group of women who are with us. حتى قديمنا مكة. Until we finally made it to Makkah. نلتمس رعباء ربعاء. So we started to look at the children we're going to breastfeed. فَرْمَا مِنَّا إِمْرَاءَ تُنْ There is not a woman from amongst us. إلا وَقَدْ عُرِضَ عليها رسول الله. The prophet was brought to them. Every single woman, the prophet was brought to her and فَتَعْ بَهُتْ وَدُّ فُيزِدْ. She said no no I don't want this kid. Why? إِدَقِينَ لَلَهَا أَنَّهُ يَتِيمْ They were told that this child is an orphan. His father died. So each woman whenever she's told the prophet, they ask about his history, what is he like. And they tell him and they are informed that the prophet is an orphan or every woman would say no no I don't want to breastfeed. And I told you why they would do that. Why would they do that? Because they thought an orphan doesn't have no money. There's nothing worldly gain that's going to come from it. And this teaches us a lesson which is sometimes something might look some way to you. And you might not think to yourself that it might happen in this way. But we'll see the story of حليمتة بالتأبيض أيبن and how everything changed for her and how things became. She said every woman would reject it وذلك أننا إنما كنا نرجل معروفة من أبي الصبي. The reason is because we were hoping that if a child we took the father will get good from him. He will take care of us financially. فكننا نقول we will say يتيب وما عسى أن تصمع أمه وجده. We will all say what could his mother and his grandad do for this boy. Like we were hoping anything from the prophet. فكننا نكره لذلك so we disliked to take him. فما بقية مراءة قديم قدمة معي إلا أخرة رضي عن غيري. And every woman ended up taking a child with them. They turned on the prophet and they all took a child. She said except me. I was the only person who had no one to take him. فلما أجمعنا انطلاق when we all came together to leave and go back قلت لصاحبي I said to my friends and my husband والله بي الله قلت لي لأكره أن أرجع من بين صواحبي I disliked to go back with my friends ولم أخب رضي عن and I haven't taken a child to breastfeed.  قالدنها her husband said to her لا عليك أن تفعلي عص الله أن يجعل لنا فيه بركة. لا عليك أن تفعلي. لا يوجد شيء على أن تفعلي. لا يوجد شيء على أن تفعلي. يمكن أن يكون يمكن أن الله يدفع بركة في هذا الشباب لنا. She said فلأخذت لنا I went back to Abdul-Muttalib فأخذت لنا I took the Prophet from her. أخذت لنا I took the Prophet from him. وما أحملني على أخذي إلا أني لم أجد غيرها. حليمة بانت أبيضو she said the only reason why I took him is that I had no one else to take. She said فلما أخذت وما أخذت رجعت به إلى رحلي I took him back to my رحل my riding beast and my my camel and my belonging I put him to there in other words she wants to leave now. فلما وضعتوا في حجري I placed him in my thighs because now she has to breastfeed the child. She said I placed the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام on my thighs على حجري أقبل عليه the Prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام when he came towards ثديايا towards my breasts بما شاء من لبني he went towards my breasts and she said he started to suck عليه الصلاة والسلام milk out of it فشريبة he drank حتى روية until he it quenched his thirst عليه الصلاة والسلام وشريبة معه and then after he finished what he wanted and he went to sleep عليه الصلاة والسلام due to the fact that the milk filled him up she said I put him down I took his brother meaning her son her other son and I lifted him and I put him on my thighs حتى روية until he became full ثم نعمة and they both slept وما كنا نناموا معه قبل ذلك and this he's never ever slept before my own son my son had never slept before because of the fact that he ate it filled him up وقام زوجي إلى شاريف and she said my husband he stood up to the sheet camel فإذا هي حافل when my husband stood up and he went to the sheet camel the breasts of the sheet camel were full they were full حافل means كثير لبن the milk in the breasts were bursting the breasts were bursting due to the milk that were in it فحالب منها وشريب he squeezed the milk out of it and he drank it وشريبت معه and I drank with him حتى تهينا ري ين وشي وشعب وشيب عن until it quenched our thirst and our hunger the sheet camel that could not produce a drop me I got full from it and my husband he drank and he became full from it حتى تهينا ري ين وشيب عن فبتنا بخير ليلة we slept that night the best night of our life قالت she said يقول صاحب حين أصبحنا when the morning the dawn broke my friends from Sa'adi ibn Bakr in the tribe they said to me تعلمي والله يا حليمة لقد أخدت لسمة مباركة they said to her حليمة you know that you've taken a blessed child with you the child that you have with you is a blessed child قالت she said she said by Allah I hope that that is the case and that is the reality قالت she said ثم خرجنا then we embarked on our journey ورقبت أتاني and then I went on my donkey the weak ضعيف donkey she said I went on it وحملت عليها معي and I took the prophet with me on the camel for wallahi by Allah لقد قطعت بالرقب ما يقدر عليه شيء من فمريهم حتى إن صراعي بلا يقول لي my donkey cut distance the speed that my donkey was going on it cut so much distance and so fast that my friends were saying to me يبنة أبيد أيبن the daughter of Abidu Aib ويحك أربعي the destruction be to you but that's not our curse that they say they said أربعي بيقام كلكتب and easy علينا on us علي ستهابه أتانوكي was this not your previous donkey that you had before اللي تكونت خرجتي عليها the donkey that you came out with is this not the one فأقولوا لهنا I will respond by saying بلا والله it's the same one of course it's the same donkey that I had before فيقولنا and then they would say to me والله إن لها شأنن والله this donkey has affairs and in your matters there are affairs something is in your matters today something is in this issue of yours يا حليم أبيد أبيد أيبن قالت she said ثم قديمنا منازلنا then we came to our houses من بلادي بلي سعد وما أعلم أعرض عن من أرض الله أجدب منها she said when we came to our houses I do not know I have no knowledge of a land from the lands of Allah أجدب ومعنى أجدب meaning that has more greenery more grass more crops more vegetation more grays than the land that we are at so green فكانت غنم تروح عليه حين قديمنا به she said my goats would go out علي حين قديمنا به معنى شبا عن لبنى they would go my camels I saw my sheep and my goats would go and they would eat from the grass and the greenery and they would get filled and the milk would fill them up and then we would take the milk from the goats and the sheeps and we would drink it وما يحلبوا إنسان قطرة لبنى no one else would be able to get one drop of milk from the goats and camels ولا يجدواها في ضرع حتى they wouldn't even find حتى كانوا الحاضرون من قومنا يقولون لروعيانهم ويلكم إصرحوا حيث يصرحوا راعي بالتأبيض أيب they said the people who own sheeps they would say to their shepherds go go to where بالتأبيض أيب is going where is she going where is her sheeps getting the greenery from so when the sheeps drink and they eat from the greenery that we could get the milk of our sheeps can be a lot go to those places that she is going with her sheeps and she is going there with her goats go there فتروح أغنامه جيعن and so what happens is the goats would do that hungry and they would come back filled with milk فهذه this all it shows باركة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم the barakah in the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم على حليمة السعادية in حليمة السعادية and her husband الحارث the blessing that the prophet bought for them and the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he stayed with حليمة السعادية he remained with them until two years went by she breastfed him she took care of him when the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he reached two years of age how old was he when he came to her in the first place does anyone know how old she was how old the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم when حليمة السعادية took over how long did حليمة السعادية keep the prophet for in total yeah so she took after two years when the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم she kept him for two years she took him to his mother and when she took him to his mother she asked the prophet's mother if she could keep him longer she begged the prophet's mother can I keep him longer don't leave this kid with me and she told the prophet's mother about the blessing that he's bought her she said to him لو تركت بني عمدي if you leave your صلى الله عليه وسلم with me until he becomes much stronger and tougher فأيلي أخش عليه وباء مكة I fear for him the illnesses of Maka that it might be for him so the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم after two years again he was taken back to إلى بادية بني سعدن when بادية بني سعدن the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم was taken there an event took place something that شك حليمة بنت أبيض أيبن is shuka removed her this is the شق صدر الشريف عليه الصلاة والسلام it is the splitting of the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم his chest the prophet's chest got opened and this was when he was in في بادية بني سعدن he was in the badia of the people of بني سعدن عليه الصلاة والسلام and this is narrated authentically in the Muslim of امامه احمد رحمه الله he was narrated in his مستدرك من حليت اعتبت him العدي الأسلامي the man asked the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said to the prophet كيف كان أول شهلك يا رسول الله he said oh messenger of الله how was your affairs your first earlier affairs referring to because the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم sometimes they used to see the sign as Alice أماليكين said there was a little sign a little stitches that were on the prophet's chest عليه الصلاة والسلام so the prophet is going to tell us the story of what happened the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said كانت it was حاضلتي من بني سعدي بني بكرد the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم is a nursing woman those who the person who took care of him was the people of سعدي بكرد we mentioned حريمة he said من طلق I went out أنا وبدلله me and her son and remember we mentioned before حليمة بن تأبيض أي بن when she came to Makkah and she wanted to take the prophet who did she have with her she had her son so she brought so the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم I and the son of حليمة بن تأبيض أي بن went out together and we went out and the word is so she said so he said we went out to the outskirts and we never took with us any provision I said to him يا أخي my brother إذا حب فأت لي بزاد من عند أمنا we went out me and him and so I said to him the prophet saying I said to him to my brother go and get us from our mother who is he referring to the prophet as his mother here he is referring to حليمة بن تأبيض أي بن السعدي رضي الله تعالى عنها حليمة بن تأبيض أي بن تشتك إسلام she took Islam her and her husband الحارث عبد العزة they both came and took Islam from the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام so the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said فأتنا بزاد من عند أمنا فنطلق أخي my brother went in the son of حليمة بن تأبيض أين وما كنت عند البهم فأقبل طيران أبيض أبيضان كأنهما لسراري so the prophet عليه الصلاة والسلام he said I stayed with the بهما and the بهما is the the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the is the اللام is the baby one so the lamb the baby of the lamb is called a mutton the lamb is a baby over when it's called the lamb is a baby when it's called a mutton it's actually when it's an adult yeah yeah it's the other way around yeah you're the butcher yeah he's a butcher yeah yeah that's a butcher now he's a butcher now for Somalis they say they say my dad has a camel what's better is to say I have a donkey صح he's a butcher he's a father he's father so one more time so I learned the word a lamb is when it's a baby and the mutton is when it's an adult and what's a sheep it's a baby version it's the adult it's the adult or the mutton is the adult so نعم in Arabic it's called a ضعن like in the difference between a ضعن is that is the is the mutton a female or a male it can be any right so the mutton is a male they refer to the she-ma and then the word a ضعن in the Arabic language is a ذكر والإنته it's the male and the female so we don't have a precise definition yet the word ضعن but you have an idea right what's happening here so the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he said I stayed with the I stayed with the ضعن and فأقبال الطيراني أبيضاني two birds white birds they came and came down كأنهما and they were as though will stop there صلى الله عليه وسلم anything which I have said that was wrong فإنهما مني ومن الشيطاني والله ورسولي بريال منه سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشهد والله إلهي من الله أستوفرك وأتوب إليه


Live from Las Vegas. It's theCUBE. Covering Oracle's modern marketing experience. Brought to you by Oracle. Now here's your hosts, John Furrier and Jeff Frick. Okay, welcome back everyone. We are here live for day two of coverage, SiliconANGLES theCUBE. This is our flagship program, where we go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise. I'm John Furrier, I'm with Jeff Frick, my co-host, our next guest is Steve Krause, Group Vice President of Product Management, Oracle Marketing Cloud. Steve, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you, John. So day two, yesterday we had all day coverage. Really the theme was integration. We had Kevin on, GM, SVP, Oracle Marketing Cloud. Really kind of highlighting, getting down for real here now, getting it real, keeping it real. Not a lot of vaporware, not a lot of slideshow, promises, really delivering on the mission he put forth with the team, which was, hey, portfolio of products, have a data layer underneath that that traverses across horizontally scalable. Really, we think is a great vision. So I want to get your thoughts, you're on the product side, and have had a lot of experience with data cloud content. What is the product conversation going on internally right now? Because it is a complete transitional market right now. You have this whole old way, which is kind of current state of the art, email marketing, linear based progression, form capture, destination driven, sales person driven type transactions. Moving to an omnidirectional, multiple data, social data, all kinds of new touch points with the customer, non-linear consumption, content marketing, this is now the new way. What are some of the product conversations, and what are you guys focused on? Well, the product conversations are about how do we make it real. Everybody can see the end point, no one disagrees with the right message for the right customer at the right time. The issue is here to there, how do you get there? And so you talked about the fact that this is now an omnichannel world. People are interacting with brands, wherever they choose, that could be in social channels, it could be through some sort of mobile device, it could be on their traditional desktop. The sad reality of companies is they've grown up serving each of those channels in a siloed way.  What everybody agrees is you aren't gonna get the right message at the right time to the right person if there's no coordination among those various teams. So we call that orchestration. That's one of the benefits of having a marketing cloud is the marketing cloud can bring the solutions together and make them talk, just like your organization should. I love that orchestration. And if you add the word automation, you have a DevOps-like concept. Yes, you do. And this is really what modern marketing is moving into this era of automation, abstracting away complexities. Because CMOs don't want to be in IT. Now they'll have an IT, they'll be a digital chief data officer, chief data officer, all these new things that are kind of on the customer. Because they're under pressure to serve their customers. So your customer's customer at the end of the day is the endpoint, which is the edge of the network. So how do you guys look at this concept of modern marketing? And specifically, do you look at it from like a stack perspective? Do you take that DevOps approach? You could argue that you take a stack approach. Is that how you look at it? I mean, you got a lot of different acquisitions in there, a lot of things kind of coming together. How do you view that stack in modern marketing? Well, so I think one way we like to view it is in terms of how our customer, the marketer sees it, you mentioned the CMO. Most CMOs of larger enterprises, at some point in the past couple of years, have woken up one morning and realized that everything that they've bought in the past, it all made sense at the time incrementally. They started off with an email solution and maybe they got a web analytics solution, then social came along and they got social listening. But one morning they woke up and they had 14 or 19 of these solutions. And they felt like the homeowner who's trying to build a house by having a relationship with every last wire cutter, door framer, window puller. No one builds a house like that. There's this thing called a foreman. And so where people have come is I need a foreman on my job site called marketing technology. And that's where platforms come in and that's where a stack comes in rather than individual pieces. So I think what we do is we start with what's the customer need? What is the CMO need? They do need a foreman on the job site. That means a platform. It also means simply somebody to take responsibility for success. And Oracle's very good at that being such a large company, so many customers. So Steve, you mentioned this is on the channel and you need to break down the silos of how you went to market before. And everyone agrees on the destination. But how do you get started? You don't want to build just another silo of a new thing that's where you want to go because you do need it integrated. So what are you seeing people as great, all the keynotes, Clorox, Western Digital. Old line companies that have been around a long time. And as I think it was Eric said, they got a lot of baked in processes they've been doing a long time. How do they get started on this journey? What are the kind of easy wins that you guys see kind of consistently within your customer base to help them move down the road? Sure. Well, I think there's two parallel paths. One path is simply getting the technology in there that isn't premised on working in a silo. A lot of technology, that's what it was built to do. It's not considered to work with something else. That is the benefit of going with something like Oracle. It's premised on the idea of it all works together. So when you bring in on the B2B side, an Oracle Eloqua, or on the B2C side, an Oracle Responses, what you're saying is my first premise is that stuff needs to work together. Even if I later need to layer in the other pieces. So that's on one side, that's procuring technology. The other side is my organization. You can go and have the tools, but if the organization itself isn't orchestrated, if there isn't someone's job to say this needs to work together, it won't work together. So we try to encourage those parallel paths. You have to be willing to not just write a check and think it's going to solve itself. You have to have organizational change as well. I had a chance to sit down with Mark Hurd in January for a one-on-one conversation. I pressed him pretty hard on the integration piece. And this is something that you bring up working together. It implies integration and seamless integration. And he was forthright. He's like, no, no, no. We are absolutely looking at single code base on-premise in the cloud and fully integrated. You guys have talked a lot about that here. Integration is the new table stakes. It's also a competitive advantage. If you look at like the startups, venture-back startups, we talked a minute ago yesterday, I saw a few others here today. It's hard to compete when you don't have that integration power. So I want you to talk about what's going on with the integration one on the core platform on the product side. And two, how do you guys enable an ecosystem partner to play well in there and thrive, not feel beholden to the big red Oracle? I mean, so that's kind of what is kind of seems to be the critical success factor right now. Have a platform, obviously Oracle has some advantages there, but enabling the ecosystem is really, really important. How do you guys do that? Well, you're right. So there are two facets to this. The first facet are what is the critical pieces necessary for the platform itself? And I think most people would agree there are certain things that make sense to centralize like, oh, your customer data, your ability to orchestrate that data, it's hard to do those things that are about coordination with a bunch of distributed systems. That said, Oracle is never going to have an answer to every possible marketing question. In fact, anybody who's seen these industry logo diagrams with thousands and thousands of companies, there's a lot of good stuff going on out there. So we have a platform, it has several critical pieces. They talk to each other and the platform is open for all those other hundreds or even thousands of companies to come in and plug in. And in fact, around us here, you've got the best evidence of it. You've got these folks who are app cloud partners, that's what we call the integration framework, where a mint ago can come in and say, guess what? You can use mint ago from within Oracle Eloqua. So it's really a two tier system. We do believe a platform makes sense. You need a foundation for the house, but that does not mean that you have to buy every last furnishing in the house from us. You should go and buy this stuff. And that's a focus for you guys. That innovative companies are doing. That's a focus for you guys. Absolutely. Talk about the data cloud, because we hear about that. Is that a central way to look at it? Obviously Oracle has a database. Great position, competitively in the market. Gives you guys a unique perspective across the board. Does that make the integration easier? And how does the data cloud fit vis-a-vis, say the database, or is it seamlessly tied together? And is that the kind of the central point? Is that what you're talking about? Well, so go back to the marketing stakeholder here. CMO, whoever's doing that. I think everybody understands that in the new world of marketing, which is very data driven, data is the fuel for the marketing engine. You put better fuel in the engine, the engine's going to run better. And so Oracle, really, all the way up to Larry, came to the conclusion of that's part of this equation. It's not enough in marketing to simply give someone a system that stores data, or a system that orchestrates individuals through marketing journeys. You need to say, marketer, on top of that, I'm gonna make sure that you can manage and access the best data possible, because that's your fuel. I want you to have the richest fuel. Part of that is just having great technology to help people manage their own data. But there's this whole other piece, and John, you've referred to it, it's the Oracle Data Cloud, which is how can I have the easiest and most comprehensive access to data that I don't own but I can use? And so we gave some examples of that the other day. We have an integration that involves the Oracle Maximizer property with the Oracle DMP, Data Management Platform, that itself talks to the Data Cloud. And what you're able to do there is, if someone comes to your website, you've never seen them ever before, no relationship. Instead of just saying, well, I don't know what to do, let's just give them what everybody else sees, you can actually ask the Data Cloud, do you know this person? And then if they do, they can say, hey, that's a backpacker. Great, show them the backpack, don't show them the least common denominator. So that's a great example of one experience is just the same for everybody, least common denominator. The other experience is tailored for you, the difference is you're using Oracle Data to make that decision. Hold on, Jeff, Jeff wants to ask a question, but I want to get one more in. So talk to the professional out there who's a digital architect or a doer, building out a horizontally scalable, they have all this app pressure to build more apps, obviously abstract away the complexity and compare what you've learned. Go back, rewind the clock, okay, to when Oracle had the mishmash. A lot of acquisitions coming in, you guys made some decisions on the stack where the data layer is, and you made some good calls, obviously data is moving across different apps, but yet make those apps stand alone on themselves, whether it's B2C or B2B, which essentially implies some sort of standardization, but yet some vertical prepackaged differentiation for the apps. That's a problem that a lot of practitioners are having today in the enterprise. What could you share that you guys have learned internally as you've transformed that would help that person figure out what to do? Because they have the same challenges, they have a mishmash of stuff, some data silos. What's the playbook? Well, you know, one of the most basic parts of the playbook, and it's been not necessarily executed on well all the way back into the days of data warehousing where there were a lot of failed projects, is work backwards from what you're going to do with all of this. Sometimes there's the, I just want to go and put it in the world's biggest system and we'll figure that out later, what we're going to do. That's a hard thing. A much easier thing is to start with the use case, especially those that have the most impact on the business, to say, all right, what we need to do here is make sure that our experience on our properties for converting prospects into customers, for let's say hotels, and I'm doing all sorts of advertising, I'm trying to bring in new customers, on my hotel chain, let's make sure that that is a far more friction-free process than the past and has a higher conversion rate. What do we need to do that? What information systems do we need? And then work backwards from those experiences. Obviously you will need a coherent profile database, you'll need identity management, but the point is it's focused on an end result. Often people go wrong by having no reference to what they're going to do with this technology and as a result, they do build a solution that is capable of doing anything in theory, but nothing in practice. I'd love to get your perspective with your customers, as they sit and watch some of these big macro trends change the way people expect to interact with technology. With mobile, obviously, first of mobile, first experience is going to the primary way that people engage with brands, and then the cloud, and how cloud really is a cloud-centric philosophy, enables you to do so much more, both with integration of different applications, as well as leveraging the horsepower that's on the mobile phone at the source and at the edge to do things very different, and I assume that that's a little bit ahead of most of the marketers as they make their transformation to be modern marketers. Yeah, well I'll tell you the thing that marketers are realizing now about mobile, and it's not so much about the technology, but it's about what the availability of this computing power in people's pockets has done to their behavior. More and more people are consuming media and they're interacting with brands in a very incremental way. So just think about how you use your own mobile device. You've got a minute waiting in line, you look at the weather, you're doing something else, you have a couple minutes, you're checking Facebook updates. The marketing equivalent of that is more and more people are not showing up at your store, they're not making a concerted effort to spend half an hour to learn about you. They're literally, they heard from someone, they saw a tweet, what's this? They look, in that moment you have the chance to either earn an X step and create engagement or that's it, the moment went by and the term moment has become very big for this micro moment. It's the fact that the mobile world has fragmented our attention into smaller and smaller bits that says, marketer, you can't wait for someone to give you half an hour. You have to go and take that small opening and turn it into something where you can earn a greater relationship and that's where having the data, like being able to know this is a backpacker, right when I see them the first time, you can't wait for them to say, hey, let me fill in a long form to tell you what I want. That world is changing simply from the fact that we now have available to us this device that lets us do and see anything at any time and we do it often just in between moments. So we have a couple of minutes left, I want to get your thoughts on the product roadmap. I know I see a public company, you can't share a lot of details around that but can you give a little bit of a taste, show a little bit of leg on where the product roadmap short, midterm, longterm, what are some of the guiding principles that you guys have, what can we expect to see on the product management side? Yeah, well the guiding principles we have for sure with the Oracle Marketing Cloud as a whole is to say, number one, for marketing we want to take several core products, bring them together as a platform, make them better together. So that is the core, what are we doing with the Oracle Marketing Cloud? You can see that we've covered orchestration, we've covered the ability to connect data together, we have optimization in there. You're going to see us continue down that general path and make the platform stronger. At the same time, all of that pursuit of marketing and modern marketing shouldn't have to stop at the organizational boundary called marketing, it should really apply to any customer interaction. If that happens with sales, if that happens with service, if that happens with commerce and so profiles, orchestration, optimization, it can't just stop because it's no longer marketing and Oracle has a larger view on that, you might have talked to Mark, heard about this, it's called CX, customer experience and so the integrations within the Oracle Marketing Cloud, those are a good thing. The integrations with third parties to the App Cloud, those are a good thing. Ultimately it gets into the bigger picture of integration with the total customer experience. And that's where- It's a holistic view, I mean you look down at Oracle engineered systems. All the way up to CX and everything in between is an opportunity. And that's where Oracle is the logical provider here. We go back to the form and on the job site, who already has those solutions in sales, commerce, service and marketing we do, where is the vision? The vision is to say what marketing is doing now, everyone will be doing and we want it all to connect together. Oracle, Oracle's getting bigger and bigger as always and making the big pivots. Congratulations on the success. We look forward to seeing more product announcements. Steve Kraus, Group Vice President, Product Manager at Oracle Marketing Cloud. Hopefully we can stand up stuff very easy. Data integration, this is the future of modern marketing at theCUBE. We'll be right back more, you're watching theCUBE.
