Hi friends, welcome to my channel. I am Arpita Karwan and in this video I am going to be talking about everything that you want to know about gate examination. We will cover what is gate, what is the paper pattern, what is the syllabus for gate English literature, and how to cover the syllabus in the easiest possible way. Don't go anywhere because towards the end of the video we will cover what kind of books should you be referring to in order to prepare for gate exam and clear it in first attempt. So this video is extremely crucial and I would recommend you to watch it till the end because this video contains each and everything that any aspirants looking forward to clear gate exam wants to know. So let us begin and first talk about the gate exam. So the gate exam stands for Graduate aptitude test for engineering. It is an entrance exam that was primarily conducted for PG Engineering Science and Management courses at IITs in India. Gate is usually linked with the science and engineering field. I hope you can recall that some of your friends back in class 11 and 12 were aiming to clear JEE exam in order to pursue engineering or BTEC from IITs. However, if one feels to pursue engineering from IIT but still wants to complete a post-graduation from IIT, he or she has to clear the gate exam. In simplest terms, JEE is for admission into bachelors and gate is for admission into masters. Now you might ask that this is for engineering, right? How is gate important when it comes to humanity's subject, especially English literature? So let me inform you recently IITs have taken a very significant decision. They have started courses for many subjects from humanities such as economy, English literature, psychology. In order to get admission in such courses, they also have started conducting gate exam for these subjects as well. Last year IIT Bombay conducted this exam whereas this year IIT Kanpur is conducting it. Slowly you will see that many other IITs will also associate themselves in this process. Friends, now we move on to the next section of the video. Here we will be talking about the paper pattern. The first thing you need to know is that the paper will have 65 questions and the total number of marks is 100. The paper is in the form of MCQ that is multiple choice questions. There are no subjective questions asked anywhere in gate exam. It's a computer-based test just like UGC net. The paper is off 3 hours and there is negative marking. So the difference between UGC net and gate is that gate main negative marking here UGC net main negative marking nahi hai. Now let's talk about the qualification required to clear this exam. So anyone in the third year of undergraduate degree or anyone was completed their undergraduate course is eligible for grade. Let us look at the age limit now. Friends, there is no age limit for this exam. I could have done my undergraduate at the age of 21 and I can still appear for gate exam at the age of 45. There is absolutely no age limit. The only criteria is either you should have completed your undergraduate degree or you should be in the third year of your undergraduate degree. Now let's talk about the validity of the marks. Your certificate, your gate certificate will be valid for three years. Males, you will have to get enrolled for the master's program within three years of clearing gate. Friends, there is no limit on the number of attempts you can give for gate. You can give the exam as many times as you want. Coming on to the last and final topic that is cutoff. Cutoff is usually around 55%. It means that you have to score 55% to clear this exam that means 55 marks out of 100. If you look at the cutoff of gate 2021, the cutoff was 40% which means you need to get 40 marks out of 100. And for gate 2022, the cutoff shot up to 55% and all of this I'm talking about English literature. So friends, if you notice, the cutoff is increasing every year and because negative marking is also at the play, it becomes increasingly difficult to score well. But I want to tell you that if you have command over the basics, you're good to go. So friends, let's now talk about the participating institutes in the exam. As of now, there are eight participating institutes. These are IT Kharagpur, IT Bombay, IT Delhi, IT Guwahati, IT Kanpur, IT Chennai, IT Roorkee and ISC Bangalore which is Indian Institute of Science Bangalore. So there are eight institutes out of which seven are IITs and one is ISC. From the general section which includes general aptitude, reasoning, comprehension, there are 25 questions. The syllabus is not very strict. It's pretty similar to what has been asked in any other competitive exam. There are questions like clock, percentage, sitting arrangement, missing numbers, patterns etc. You can pick any guidebook in the market to prepare for this section. One important tip here is that please go through the previous year papers, solve them to understand what kind of questions are asked, what is the difficulty level. Also, if you have any questions or queries, you can put them in the comments section below and I'll be happy to answer them. Now, if you are looking for past year papers of GATE exam, GATE English particularly, then we invite you to visit our website right now. We have provided all past year papers of GATE exam along with Ansakhi, free of cost on our website. You can simply go download the papers and start your preparation right away. Now that we know a little bit about the general aptitude reasoning section, it is time to look at the soul of the paper which is English literature Friends, English literature carries 60% weightage. That means out of 100 marks, English literature carries 60 marks. And this is the section where mostly students float. Because general aptitude is very easy. If you have ever appeared for school olympias or any competitive exam, you will be able to clear the general section. However, The syllabus of English literature is so vast that students are not able to raise this section. So, now let us understand the syllabus of English literature of GATE exam. So, the brochure of GATE exam uses a very different language. I would say a complicated kind of language to explain the units that are there in the syllabus. Students often get scared looking at it. Let me break down the syllabus so that you can understand it in a much more better way. So, if you look at C 2.1, that is multi-general literature in English. To simplify it, it basically says you should read all the poets, novelists, essays, short story writers of English literature. In short, it basically covers the entire British literature and a lot of other things which I am going to soon talk about. Friends, then we have C 2.2 which is comparative context, anglophone and English translation literature from India. Another very complicated way of talking about the syllabus. Basically, this unit is all about Indian literature. It includes Indian literature, Indian aesthetics, contemporary Indian writing. Moving on to C 2.3 which is literary criticism and theory. In this, you have to cover two whole units, literary criticism as well as theory. Which books will we talk about after a while? C 2.4 is history of English literature which is similar to what we have discussed in C 2.1. But basically, you have to know chronological history. So, you should know the history of English literature plus all the writers including the dramatists, novelists and poets of each particular age. Now, the last one is C 2.5 which is research approaches and methodology along with literary forms, devices, concepts and genre. Now, this is nothing but dev club two units. One is research methodology and one is rhetorics and prosody. So, now that we know the syllabus, let us put it in a simple way. And I am going to present it in front of you of very simplified syllabus which I have divided in 10 units. One thing to note here is that there are certain things which they are not mentioned in their syllabus but are asked in the exam. This difficulty we also face in net exam. Hence, I am presenting a simplified syllabus based on the brochure as well as based on the past year papers and the questions that are asked in that particular exam. Okay, so first of all you should have a in-depth knowledge of British literature, unit one. You should know all the ages, you should know every age's major and minor writer, you should know every major writer's works and you should know all the novels, plays, poetry, fiction, non-fiction, short stories, summaries and detail. Next, we have Indian literature. Now, this is very important to cover. In Indian literature, we are not going to cover the Indian literature but contemporary Indian literature and Indian aesthetics. Next, we have American literature, post-colonial literature, European literature. Okay, so American literature, post-colonial and European literature are not mentioned in the brochure but questions are there. So, you have to study all the prominent writers of all the three literature. Post-colonial literature, you have to divide it further over country-wise. You have to read Canadian, Caribbean, Australian and all the other post-colonial literatures, right? Now, after these five units that is British, American, post-colonial, European and Indian, next in line is literary criticism and literary theory. These are two separate units, remember and you have to study them separately. Another topic that they are not mentioned in the syllabus is literary terms and devices. This topic includes literary movements also like metaphysical poets, transcendental literature. So, you have to not only study literary terms and devices but also study literary movements. Now, these are again two different units and finally, we have research methodology. So, now that you see, you have 10 units that you have to cover currently for gain. So, let's quickly look at the 10 units. We have British literature and American literature, post-colonial, European, Indian. We have literary criticism, literary theory. We have literary terms and devices, literary movements and research methodology. And all of these units are very important for gain because some say questions are there. If you compare this syllabus with UGC-NET, you will see that the syllabus of both these exams are 99% same. Friends, now that you have looked at the syllabus, let's look at the important books from which you can prepare. Problem is that there is no one book that covers all these units. So, you have to refer to different books for different units. Luckily for the Unit 1 British literature, you have many books available in the market. You can refer to Routeless History of English Literature or English History by William J. Long. But the problem with these books is that they are brilliant for history to understand the chronology, but they don't tell the works of each writer. So, it becomes very difficult to refer to these books and make notes from these books for the works. For example, this book will talk about John and Nazariter and also mention some of his important works, but they'll just take the name of the poem. They will not give you summary and analysis of the poem. So, for all this, you have to go to different source to get the summary and then you have to take the help of internet and create proper notes. Now, the challenge is that you just don't have to study British literature. But American literature, European, post-colonial, Indian literature Another important thing is that you might find that there are a few books available in the market for these topics, but the challenge is that either they are extremely detailed consisting of like 900 pages or they are very concise. So, for world literature, I would recommend you that rather than going to books, you should use internet sites like lit charts, grade saver, cliff notes, e-notes. So, basically make a list of all the important writers of world literature that are asked in the exam and study them separately from Wikipedia and then make a list of all the important works of these writer and study them from these sites, literature, grade saver, cliff notes. I know it's a little difficult thing to do and that is the reason why we are here with an online course. We cover all important topics, writers and works in our online course. The detailed list of all these writers that are covered in our online course is available free of cost on our website arpidakarba.com. So, you can download this list free of cost and start preparing for the exam by your own. Now friends, after completing the entire literature, British, American, post-colonial, European and Indian, let's talk about literary theory and literary criticism. Let's first talk about literary theory. So, there are two books for literary theory. One is Peter Berry's literary theory and the other book is Contemporary Literary and Cultural Theory by Pramod Kinayar. Friends, these two books are very simple. However, if you have not studied literary theory in your bachelors, then I don't think these books will make any sense. In that case, you have to check out a few videos posted by either me or other YouTubers on literary theory. That will give you a basic understanding of literary theory and then you can start reading from these books. Now let's talk about literary criticism. There's a very good book called History of Literary Criticism by Rama Vandirvedi and Vikramaditya Rai. This book includes Criticism by Aristotle, Plato, Matthew Arnold and T.S. in it, basically all the major literary critics. Again, if you have not studied literary criticism in bachelors, please don't jump to this book. Rather, watch some YouTube videos, gain basic understanding and then start with the book. Another important topic that you must cover for this particular exam is Literary Terms and Devices, for which you can refer to a glossary of literary terms by image This book will give you information about literary terms, rhetorics, prosody as well as literary movement. So, if you have read this book, you will cover two units. Last unit is Research Methodology. Again, there is no good book in the market available for research methodology, but you can find some content online. Also, look at the past year papers, what questions you are asking accordingly, you can make your own notes. But I will tell you, not a lot of questions are asked from this unit, so even if you want to leave this unit, you can. Now, after talking about the syllabus and the books, I would quickly talk about the number of questions that are asked from each of these units. So, friends, the three main units from which most questions come are British Literature, Indian Literature and Literary 10. Criticism se bhi aate, but thode sikam. From British literature, 14 to 15 questions are asked every year. From Indian Literature, 10 to 11 questions are asked and 5 to 6 questions are asked from Literary Theory. So, from all the other units like American, postcolonial, European, literary terms, and devices, movements, research methodology, Milaq ki aat hiya no question aate. But, it's not that you can't leave this unit because you can't cross the cut-off line from each mark.

CHAPTER XXII While we ate, Jackwell expanded more and more under the influence of duff and beer. He leaned back in his chair and gazed at the main mast. "'What makes the top of your mast so black, eh? Is it the smoke from the kettles, or have you been a fire? Sink me, Harry, there couldn't have been any such luck as your old hooker of fire and being put out, eh? Ha-ha-ha! That would have been asking too much of the devil.' "'It's hollow,' said the old mate. "'What? Hollow? What the deuce is your mast hollow for?' "'Well, that is a question, isn't it, Mrs. Sackett?' said Henry. "'Perhaps he asks you sometimes what a smoke-pipe is hollow for, don't he? I've never seen such a funny man. But he'll never get over it, I want to know.' "'Is it really hollow?' asked Jenny of the old mate. "'Yassum, it certainly is. Why, it's the smoke-pipe, you know,' was the reply. We have an engine in the lazarette that'll take us along more than three knots in dead calm weather. It's been a lot of help when the wind has been light and ahead for picking up the boats. You know a whale always makes dead to windward, mostly, and if the wind is light and we've got to go a long ways, the poor devils would most starve waiting for us like they used to do in the old times. The lower mast is iron. There's lots of them that way now. The soot makes the canvas black sometimes, but there ain't no sparks to speak of ever comes out of that top, as it's mostly blubber we burns. Jackwell became silent for several minutes, and then, as his eyes were still directed at the mast-head, I looked again and noticed the topsoil-yard settle below the lower mast-head.  I asked Jackwell, trying to be civil. "'Keeps what up like that?' he said in his old tone. "'The yard,' I answered shortly. "'Oh, mostly by force of habit, I reckon,' said he, nodding sarcastically at me and wrinkling his nose. "'That's it, ain't it, Henry? Your yards stay mast-headed mostly by force of habit, eh? They don't need no ropes.' I saw I was not forgotten, so afterward I kept quiet when he spoke. In a moment or two after this there was a wild yell from forward. This terminated into a deep base roar, and we all jumped up to see what was the matter. The form of a man sat on the starboard cat-head, and in his mouth was a horn of enormous size, the mouth being fully three feet across. "'Sue! Sue!' he roared. "'Make way for the great king of the sea!' I saw the fellow had on a long rope-yard beard and a wig to match, while a pair of black wings hung from his shoulders. While he called, creatures swarmed over the boughs, men with beards and men without, some holding long spears and streamers, and some with three-pronged tridents, all having huge heads with grotesque faces and forked tails which hung down behind. "'Hooray for the king of the sea!' bawled the fellow through the horn, and then the motley crowd yelled in chorus, some blowing huge conch-shells, and all making a most hideous racket. Jenny stopped her ears engaged, laughing at the throng. She had been across the line before in some of the older ships with her father, and knew of the practice. Mrs. Sackett and Captain Henry cheered and waved their handkerchiefs, but Jackwell sat silently looking on. Finally all of us went to the break of the poop, where we could get a better view, and just as we arrived a monstrous form came over the night-heads and stood forth on deck. The fellow had a beard fully, a fathom long, and he stood nearly two fathoms high, his feet being hoof-shaped.  He was escorted unsteadily to a seat upon the trying-out furnace.  This was greeted with cheers and blasts on the conch-shells. Some of our men, who had never been over before, and one of the boats crew confessed, he was quickly seized and brought before King Neptune. "'Sit you down right there in that dear chair,' said the King, scowling fiercely. The fellow sat down and stared, smiling at the monster. "'Have you paid for coming across this here latitude, my son?' asked the King. "'No,' said the sailor. "'No, what?' roared the King. The chair was placed on the edge of the main kettle, and the monster simply raised his hand to one of his retainers. This fellow tilted it up, sailor in all, into the smother of suds and water. Instantly there were roars of laughter as all hands watched the man trying to get clear of the slippery iron tank. Every time he would get a hold his fingers would be wrapped sharply, and down he would go, floundering about. He was finally led off with a fine of a plug of tobacco. All his belongings saved the clothes he had with him. Other men followed, for the whaler had a crew of thirty-five. Some were shaved with a barrel-hoop for a razor, and tar for lather, being finally released for some tobacco. "'Come aft, O King,' bawled Henry, after the fun had grown fast and furious. "'Come aft, and get a donation from the ladies.' The great fellow was escorted unsteadily to the poop where he saluted the women. "'Have you never paid toll to go to the other world yet?' asked the King. "'No,' said Jackwell, who was getting tired of the fun. "'I ain't never been accrossed, and I ain't a going to pay toll.' "'Shall he pay?' asked the King of Henry. "'Sure,' was Henry's response. Instantly the giant sprang upon the deck, getting clear of his stilts by some means or other. He seized Jackwell tightly around the body, and rushing to the rail, sprang into the sea, his followers yelling themselves horse with delight. When they were hauled aboard, Jackwell was in a fury. I expected him to shoot the sailor, who had the audacity to pitch him overboard, but he controlled himself. The incident, however, ended the fun aboard the brig, Henry between fits of laughing, telling the mate to serve all hands with all the grog they wanted. "'Do not wait for me, madam,' said Jackwell, to Mrs. Sackett. "'I shall not come aboard my ship in this condition. You get Mr. Rawling to take you and your daughter, and I'll follow, after Captain Henry has given me a new suit of clothes.' This appeared to be the best thing to do, as the brig's men were now getting boisterous with the grog, and our men were drinking also. The ladies were tired of the performance, although they had enjoyed some of it very much, and they were glad when I called away the boat's crew to take them back to the pirate. Jackwell appeared at the rail as we started off. "'Rawling,' said he, tell Trunel not to stay awake at night worrying about my health. This bath will not strike in and tickle me to death as you might be agreeable enough to suppose. "'Hurry and change your clothes, Captain,' cried Mrs. Sackett. "'Madam,' said he, with great solemnity as the oars were dropped across. Do not grieve for me.  Fare thee well.' We were now on our way back to the ship, and he stood a moment, waved his hand, and then disappeared down the companion way.  "'Well, what was it?' I asked. "'Faith, and I got caught,' said chips, with a sickly grin. "'How was it?' I asked. Come tell me, while Ford and Tom get the cushions out of the boat. And I drew the carpenter into the door of the forward cabin where Trunel couldn't see us. "'It was a fine thing you made me do, but no matter,' he began. "'You see, when you'd all started well on your way to the butcher, I think now is the time of me life. Trunel was sitting and smoking on the wheel-greyton. And all were as quiet as you please. I went below Whistlin to see him off his guard-like. And when I seized me way clear, I daked me chance at the after-cabin, and in I goes. I stopped Whistlin when I mixed the entry, and I steered straight for the chist, for instance, the captain's room. The door were open, and I see the chist were a little trunk of a thing, no bigger than a handbag, so to speak, up on top of it were a pile of charts and things such as the rascals sung out to Trunel not to touch. It was a cute little thing to do, for how I could get into the outfit without a move in them struck me. I finally grabs the side of the trunk and try as to lift it. You may say I lie, but so help me! I could no more lift that little trunk than the ship herself. Gold! Why, could it have been anything but solid gold? I could lift that much lead easy. I stopped a minute and took out my knife, my mind made up to try the lock. I gave one good look at it, and then I hears a sort of grunt. There were Trunel looking right down at me from the top of the after-companion. Says he, and what may I be doing with the old man's trunk? Says he. Sure it is me own, I thought it were, by the weight of it, said I. Is it so heavy, then, says he? Faith, you try and lift it, says I. He come down the ladder and took a hold, shut in the door to keep the steward from a-looking in. Then he takes hold of the thing and lifts it for the good of his soul. Nary an inch does it move. I would have opened it, but I heard the captain's order not to disturb the charts atop of it, says I.  I never thought you were so bad, chips, said he. Tis a victim of discipline I am for sure, then, says I. You know I would no more steal the matter of a trunk than fly. And who give you the order, you disciplinarian, says he? The conscience, says I. You have better go forwards and tell your conscience the fact that it's a bad one for an honest man to travel with, said he, and tell him also to mind what he says about obeying orders aboard this here ship. If your conscience ever wants to command a ship, he don't want to forget that discipline is discipline, and when it comes to thayvery, discipline will get you both in irons. Slant away before I lose my temper and say this into you, says he. So here I am, all in a mess with that little mate, but the trunk of gold is safe on a cabin floor. I had nothing to say further than that the matter couldn't be helped. If the trunk was all right, we might land a fortune yet in the reward Jim had told us about. Jackwell must have made off with a snug little sum. I climbed over the side again with some of the skippers' clothes, and we started slowly back to the brig to get him. Ford was rowing Bower and Johnson Aft, and both rowing easily made us go very slow. However, there was no hurry. Jackwell would in all probability take several drinks after his bath, and we would only have to wait aboard the whaler for him until he was ready. The sea was so smooth that the boat hardly rippled through it, and the sun was warm, making me somewhat drowsy. The two men rowed in silence for some time, and then Ford suddenly looked ahead to see how we were going. What's the matter with the bloomin' brig? said he, rowing with his chin on his shoulder. I looked around, and it seemed as though we had already gone the full distance to her, and yet had as far again to go. The pirate was certainly half a mile away, and there was the brig still far ahead. Give way, bullies! I said, break an oar or two. The men made a response to the order, and the boat went along livelier. I looked at the brig, and suddenly I noticed a thin trail of smoke coming from her main top where the opening in the lower masthead should be. We were now within fifty fathoms of her when Jackwell came to the rail aft and looked at us. Give way, bullies! You're going to sleep! I said. In a few moments we were close aboard, but as we came up the brig slewed her stern toward us, and then I noticed for the first time that she was moving slowly through the water. There was no wind, and I knew in a moment that she was under steam. She drifted away faster, and the men had all they could do to keep up. Jackwell leaned over the taff rail and gazed calmly down at us. That's it, boys. Give it to her. You'll soon catch us and be towing us back again.  I saw the water rippling away from the brig side, and now could see the disturbance under her stern where a small wheel turned rapidly. Throw us a line! I cried to Jackwell. What do you want a line for? Are you going with us to the Pacific, or are you just naturally short of lines, hey? Throw us a line or we'll have to quit," I cried. The men can't keep up as it is. Jackwell let down the end of the spanker sheet, and Ford grabbed it, taking a turn around the thwart. The boat still rushed rapidly along. Rawling, said the captain of the pirate, hadn't you better go home and tell Trunel he wants you? Seems to me you'll have a long row back in the hot sun. I'd ask you all aboard, but this ship ain't mine. She belongs to a friend who owes me a little do, see?  Give my kindest regards to the ladies, especially Mrs. Sackett. Tell her that I wouldn't have dreamed of deserting her under any other circumstances, but this brig has got the devil in her and is running away with me. I can't stop her, and I can't say I would if I could. That infernal king Neptune has got hold of her keel and is pulling us along. Goodbye, Rawling. Don't by any possible means disturb the charts on my trunk. There, let go, you Ford! Ford cast the line adrift, and the boat's headway slacked. The brig drifted slowly ahead, going at least three knots through the smooth water. A long row of smiling faces showed over the rail as we came from under her stern. One fellow, waving his hand, cried out to report Bill Jones of Nantucket as being, Tolerable well, thank you! It was evident they knew nothing of Jackwell, and treated the going of the brig as a good joke on greenhorns. That beats me, said Ford, panting from his last exertions. And me, too, said Johnson. If we'd had Tom and one or two more aboard, we'd have beat her easy. But ain't he a-coming back at all, at all? I hardly think we'll see Captain Thompson any more this voyage, I answered savagely, but by the Lord Harry he's left his trunk all tight. CHAPTER XXXIII When we rode back to the ship, Trunnell was looking at us through the glass up to the time we came under the pirate's counter. He evidently could see that our skipper wasn't with us, and it seemed as if he could not quite make up his mind to the fact, but must keep looking through the telescope as though the powerful glass would bring the missing one into view. We ran up to the channels, and he looked over the side. A line of heads in the waste told of the curiosity among the men forward. I said nothing, and nothing was said, until the painter was made fast and Ford had sprung on deck. The ain't with ya, Rawling, asked Trunnell. I was too much disgusted to answer. The empty boat was enough to satisfy any reasonable person. Chips came to the rail and leaned over as I came up the chain-plates. Which was so, then? The rascal!  She's slanted away as if the devil himself were holding up her forefoot.  I cried out in disgust, for it was evident that even Trunnell couldn't tell what made the shark get headway, although now the smoke poured handsomely from her mast-head. Trunnell scratched his bushy head and seemed to be thinking deeply. Then he put down the glasses and led the way aft without a word. Chips and I following. We went below and found Mrs. Sackett and Jenny in the saloon. Where's the captain? they asked in a breath. Faith, and he's changed ships, if you please, said Chips. And left a little thing behind he would have liked to have taken with him, I said. What was the matter? they both asked. Chips and I tried to tell, but we soon made a tangle of it, the only thing coherent being the fact that the fellow was a crook and had left his trunk behind. This was so heavy that Chips had failed to lift it. I always knew he was not a sea-captain, cried Jenny. I don't see how you men let him fool you so badly. Chips and I looked at the mate, but he simply scratched his head. Discipline is discipline, he said. He were captain of this here chip, and there were no way to do but to obey his orders. No, sir, discipline is discipline, and the sooner you get it through your heads the better. But he isn't captain any longer, I said. Well, I don't know about that, said Trunnel. If he ain't a coming back he ain't a captain, sure. But you can't tell nothing about it. He may come aboard again in a little while and want to know why we didn't wait dinner for him. He show would take his trunk, said Gunning, and that's a fact. Why would he? asked Mrs. Sackett. Because he take good care of that trunk, ma'am. He sleep with one eye on it and his gun handy. I come near getting killed once when I come into the cabin sudden like, while he was at work over to things inside. For heaven's sake, let's look at it, said Mrs. Sackett. Tis the best thing we could do, said Chips. Tis no less than solid gold he stowed in it. Faith is as heavy as the main-yard. Mrs. Sackett led the way to the captain's room and Trunnel made no further resistance. She opened the door and we crowded inside. There lay the trunk on the floor or deck ahead of us. Try your hand at the liftin' of the thing, said Chips to me. I reached down and took hold of the handle at the side. Pulling heavily I lifted with all my power. The trunk remained stationary. There's nothing but gold in that thing, show, said Gunning. Well, for heaven's sake, why don't someone open it? cried Jenny. And have him a coming back aboard? A wanting to know who had been at it, eh? Said Trunnel. I didn't think you were that kind of missy. Nonsense, I said. He isn't coming back. Even if he is, it won't hurt to lift it, will it? No, I don't know as it will. Only it might upset them charts, said Trunnel. Try it, I said. See if it's gold. It'll clink when you shake it, sure. The little giant stooped and gave a grunt of disdain. I reckon there ain't nothing that size I can't lift, said he in a superior tone, which was not lost on the women. Trunnel seldom bragged, and we crowded around looking for quick results. A little bit of truck a break in the backs of a parafellas as has the impudence to say they are men, and question the discipline of the ship, he said, with a loud grunt of disgust. Stand clear and let a man have a chance. If it's gold and you're right, it'll rattle and jingle fast enough, and I hope then you'll be satisfied. He took a strong hold of the leather handle at the side, embraced his little legs wide apart. It was evident he would put forth some power. Then he set the great muscles of his broad back slowly, like a dreahorse testing the load before putting forth his strength. Slowly and surely the little mates back raised. He grew red in the face, and we peered over the treasure, hoping it would rise and give forth the welcome jingle. Suddenly there was a ripping sound. Trunnel straightened up quickly, staggered for an instant, and then pitched forward over the trunk, uttering a fierce oath. Mrs. Sackett screamed. Jenny burst into a wild fit of laughter. Chips and gunnings stood staring with open mouths and eyes, while Trunnel picked himself up with the trunk handle in his iron fist. "'Faith, and you are a good strong man,' said the carpenter. "'You'd make a fortune as a porter, a lift in trunk,' said a hotel. "'He can lift a little thing like that,' said Jenny, mimicking the mates' tone to perfection. Trunnel was now thoroughly mad. If the trunk contained gold he would soon find out.  He returned in a moment with a brace and bit, a cold chisel, and a hammer. "'Knock off the top,' said Trunnel. "'Discipline is discipline,' whispered Jenny, and I don't want to be around if the captain comes back.' Trunnel was too angry to pay attention to this remark, so he looked sourly on, while the carpenter cut off the rivets holding the lock. "'There you are,' he said, and we crowded around to look in while the mate raised the lid. Off it came easily enough. We stood perfectly silent for an instant. Then all except Trunnel burst out laughing. The trunk was empty. "'Well, sink me down deep! But that were the heaviest air I ever see,' said Trunnel. Then he picked up a slip of paper in the bottom and looked at it a moment. It had writing on it, and he unfolded it to read. I looked over his shoulder and read aloud. "'My dear little mate, when you get this here, Billy-Ducks, don't do anything rash. Remember the discipline of the ship first of all, and then take the dollar bill here and get somebody to cut your hair for you, as is too long for a man of sense and is disagreeable to the ladies. If you thought you had a pot of gold in this here outfit, you get left sure and no mistake. Remember money's the root of all evil, and thank your Lord, you ain't got none. There ain't no answer to this note, but if you feel like writing at any time, address it to Bill Jackwell. Care of anybody at all what happens to be around at the time I'm there, see? Some day we'll meet again, for I'm stuck on the sea, and I'm going to buy a boat and appoint you as captain.  That's all." Trunnel held the dollar bill he had unfurled from the note in his hand, and dropped the note back into the trunk. "'Tis screwed fast with nine big bolts to the deck,' said Chips, who had examined the outfit carefully. Trunnel scratched his bushy head thoughtfully for a moment longer. "'Is there any such thing as a few men aboard this ship?' he asked. I said I thought there was. "'Then man the boat and row for the love of God!' He roared, springing up the companion way to the deck, leaving us to follow after him. CHAPTER XXIV When we reached the deck and looked after the brig, we found that we had spent more time below than at first imagined. The shark was hulled down to the southward, and evidently going along steadily at a three-knot rate. The sun was almost on the horizon, and if we started after her, the chances were that night would fall long before we could lessen the distance between us materially. Sober appreciation of the affair took the place of Trunnel's impetuosity. "'We'll never see him again,' said Chips, hauling heavily on the boat-tackles. "'There's no use, Trunnel,' I cried. We can't catch that brig in a whale-boat.' He was already hesitating and stood scratching his shaggy beard. "'A vast heavin' on that tackle,' he bawled. Then he turned to me. "'You're right, Rawling. We've lost a fortune in the Rascal, too, and it ain't no use makin' bigger fools of ourselves. Stow the boat. After that send Johnson aft to me with a pair of scissors. You and Tom can set the watches, for you see, I'm capting of her now. You might say, on the side-like, that the first burgu-eater what comes along the weather side of the poop while I'm on deck will go over the rail. There's a goin' to be some discipline aboard the hooker, or I'll—' Well, there ain't no tellin' just what I won't do. I'm capting of this here ship, and you might just as well muster the men aft to hear the news.' Then he disappeared down the companion aft, and I sent Johnson to him with the shears as he had ordered. When Trunnell came on deck again in the evening, his beard was a sight to be remembered. It looked as though a rat had nibbled it in spots. His hair was equally well done by the artist, but Jackwell's last order had been obeyed. The men were mustered aft. And Trunnell announced that he was the man they wanted to stand from under. They remained silent until Johnson suggested that three shears be given for the new skipper. Then all hands bawled themselves hoarse. That was all. I was now the first mate, and took my meals at the cabin table where Jenny and her mother had been wondering at Trunnell's dexterity with his knife. The little mate appeared to realize that a certain amount of dignity and dress were necessary for the maintenance of correct discipline aboard, and he accordingly changed his shirt once a week and wore a new coat of blue pilot cloth. He sat at the head of the table, and went through his knife juggling each meal to the never-ending amusement of Jenny and admiration of gunning, who swore that, Day, no man afloat could do that no better. He however came through the rest of the cruise without even cutting his lip. My duties in raiding being those of a first mate I had no longer the pleasure of being intimate with chips and the rest forward. The carpenter, steward, and doctor had the quartermaster, Tom, from Trunnell's watch for a second mate and a companion at the second table. Tom was a Yankee and a good companion, so the change was satisfactory all around. I sometimes looked in at the carpenter's room in the forward house where he and a few chosen spirits would be holding forth upon some nautical subject, but I had to cut my visits short, for they worried Trunnell. Being suddenly raised did not quite inspire the necessary respect in his eyes, unless the person promoted showed unmistakable dignity and authority by dressing down all who came in contact with him. For some time it was pretty hard to speak to our little skipper. He disliked anything he imagined might tend to lessen the discipline aboard, and had a horror of a mate or captain being familiar with the men. My room was still in the forward cabin, but I now spent much time in the saloon, and helped Trunnell to shift his belongings aft to Jackwell's cabin. The truckulent nave had left little behind him, save a lot of old clothes, bonds which were not negotiable, and some wrappers used by the Bank of Melbourne for doing up packets of bills. Down one of these was a mark of fifty pounds sterling, showing that Jackwell's assets, unless enormous, could be made to fit in a very small space. He probably carried all he owned upon his person. We went through everything in the cabin carefully, but the only thing of interest discovered was the photograph of a plump young woman torn fairly in two, the lower half burying the inscription in Jackwell's handwriting, good riddance to bad rubbish. I had found this in the chart case, and had examined it some minutes without comment, when Miss Sackett took it from me. She gazed at it a moment and cried out, Why? It's the third mate! I instantly seized it again and looked carefully at the features, and then it was plain enough. There he was, in a neat fitting bodice, the curly blond hair stylishly dressed, and the plump cheeks showing just the faintest trace of the dimples of our former third officer. I looked at the back of the photograph. It had the name of a Melbourne artist upon it, and beneath, in a female hand, the written words, yours lovingly, bell. Trunel heard Jenny's exclamation and came up. He took the picture from me and gazed long at the face.  He said not a word, nor did he mention Mr. Bell's name, and that night at dinner he never raised his eyes from his plate. Afterward in the mid-watch he came on the poop and walked four and aft for three long hours, without so much as speaking to me, or asking the man at the wheel the vessel's course. He finally went below, carrying the odor of grog along with him. He came on deck many nights after this and walked four and aft in silence as though brooding over some unpleasant subject, and we were clear of the trade and knocking about in the uncertain latitudes before he appeared to be anything like himself again. I avoided any subject relating to the earlier part of the voyage and tried to cheer him. I thought he had suffered keenly, and was glad when he stopped drinking and looked me in the eyes without letting his gaze fall in confusion. Sometimes I caught myself wondering at the reticence of the men who had rode him to the burnt wreck that night, but I found that no one had bordered her except Trunnel, and he had sent the boat a stern. Tom, the quartermaster, made mate under me, was a good sailor. He did his work thoroughly, and everything went along without friction throughout the rest of the voyage to the breakwater. We picked up the northeast trade in a few days, and hauled our starboard tax aboard, bracing the yards sharp up until it gradually swung more and more to the eastward, letting us off on a taut boleyn for the latitude of the States. The pirate showed herself to be the fast ship she had always been, for we made the run up the trade in less than three weeks. Trunnel took such pride in her that all hands were tired out before we ran over the thirtieth parallel, with the scrubbing, painting, holy stoning, et cetera, that he considered necessary to have her undergo before arriving in port. As mate of the ship, I had much opportunity to command the deck alone, that is, without the supervision of any one. Of course, I can't say I spent much time alone on deck, even when in charge, but I would never let social matters interfere with work sufficiently to merit a rebuke from the little skipper. He soon manifested a disposition to be alone during his watch on deck, and at first I believed this to be due to the exalted dignity of his position. It hurt me to think he should be so changed, and I pondered at the peculiarities of mankind for many days. After a while, however, he became absorbed in a game of checkers with Mrs. Sackett which lasted two weeks. Then I forgave him. Whenever he saw Jenny and myself on deck, he would make haste to get through his business there and dive below again. This kindly interest on his part was kept up until we raised the Delaware capes. How good the land smelled and how distinctly! It seemed incredible that one could smell the land twenty miles away almost before the color of the water began to change. Yet it was strong in the nostrils, and even one of the pigs we had not eaten, but it brought back alive, squealed incessantly, as though instinctively feeling that the voyage was over. It was late in the afternoon, but the men were mustered aft in the time-worn way of merchant men to sign off. Nearly all had bills on the slop chest for tobacco or clothes. As each went over the poop, he gazed at the line on the western horizon and smiled gladly. It met a new life for more than one. Among the last to go was the old landsman whom Trundle had given a chance to earn his clothes by bug-hunting. He smiled sadly at the setting sun over the dark line which meant home. Then he shook out several strings of vermin, and holding them at arm's length, stopped at the cabin window. His cheap trousers failed to reach the tops of his coarse shoes, and the gap showed the skin on meager ankles. I was interested to know what he would take. What do you want? asked Trundle. I come for a yaller silk handkerchief, said he, offering the strings. Don't you think you'd better get some of them woolens? It'll be cold on the beach. I got clothes aplenty. I want a yaller silk handkerchief. You got one, for Sam told me so. I am a-going ashore to Enneries, and I ain't going like no clown without a wipe. Can I have it? The handkerchief was passed out, and the old fellow went forward, smiling. What a strange thing is the end of a deep-water voyage. Men who have been living together for months through suffering and hardship will go over the ship's side with a cheery farewell. They may meet for a few moments at the office to draw their pay, and then take a drink all around. That is all. They seldom see or hear of each other again. The world goes on, and they drift about, taking what part in affairs fate has in store for them. One should come back aboard the ship the day after she makes her dock, and look into the deserted forecastle and about the lonely decks where so much has taken place, to realize man's lonely mission. The old shipkeeper, sitting alone smoking on the hatchway in the evening before unloading begins, will affront one with his presence. There are the men, rough, honest, coarse, or even bad, that used to sit there so often in the twilight of the dog-watch. There was a strange yearning to see them again. I watched the sun go down with a feeling of mingled joy and sorrow, joy for the return to the States, and sorrow for the parting which must soon take place between my shipmates. When we came to an anchor and made ready to go ashore, the little giant trunnel came up to say good-bye to the ladies. I had decided to accompany them to the city. When he shook hands, the tears ran down out of his little eyes and trickled over his bushy beard to the deck. "'I wish you all the best of luck,' said he, and he fumbled in his pocket for a moment, letting a small piece of paper escape and flutter to the deck. I stooped and picked it up, glancing at the writing on it. The words were, Mrs. William Sackett, 25 Prince Street, E.C., London, England. He snatched it from me and seized my hand, gripping it so hard I almost cried out. "'Go along, you lucky dog,' he cried.  We'll be birthed and paid off when you come back.' I said good-bye to the men at the gangway, and then helped the ladies over the side into the boat, seating myself in the stern-sheets between them. "'I should think you'd be thankful to get in at last,' said Jenny. "'Yes,' I whispered, but I have no objections to sailing again as a mate. Her hand closed upon mine behind the backboard. "'Neither have I,' she breathed in return. "'Whose mate?' I asked her. "'But that's an old story.'" End of chapter. End of the book. Mr. Trunnel, mate of the ship Pirate. Thank you for listening.


What's up everybody, Jason here for jaspyscasebreaks.com. We just sold out a little Diamond Icons one box break, pick your team number 27 with a random number block that features 15 different teams in this one boxer. So you get a piece of the Mariners, Rays, Royals and much more, there's the whole entire list there. So the way this works guys is we'll randomize the names and then randomize a set of numbers from zero through nine. Whatever number you match up with is the block you're gonna get and we call it a block because of course, as examples, if we get a hit from any one of those 15 teams and it matches your serial number, so let's say you have block three and it's the first number on the left side and we hit a serial number 13 out of 99, that would go to you, 243 would go to you, three out of 25, 43, just little other examples on how it works, so you get like a block of numbers basically, then that'll be all yours guys. Of course, any redemption cards automatically go to spot zero and any not numbered cards will be randomized to the group. So, here's the dice roll, let's roll it. It is a two to four, six times, good luck. One, two, three, four, five, six. Six times, two, four, six, six, Brian down to Brian and then let's paste in the names, boom. Six times here on zero, one, two, three, four, five, six. Two, three, four, five, six. G-Lo, what's up man? All right, six times, six times, nine, down to three. Okay, so let me make this a little bit bigger for you guys so you guys can see it. And then of course, like I said, nine for Brian, has spot nine, Robby up two, Edward five, Nicole with eight, Nathan with six, last one, Roger, Rob with seven, Brian with four, Rich, Richard has a spot one, so any one-on-ones potentially. Nathan, if there's any redemptions, for any one of those teams, that'll be yours and then Brian with three and then Nathan with zero of course. So let me quickly delete this page really quick. It's weird, there's like no lines in here. Actually no, let's not do that. Let's do this real quick, make this look all nice. There we go. And coming up in a separate video guys, we'll have the break, so good luck everybody.


So kuna umjama na itua Magix Enga, nimi kwen kimfotili ya sana, nanapenda kazi ya ke sana. Amefanya kazi na Osaniwengi sana apa kenya. Ameoza kwa Tambulisha, na kwa Saidia Osaniwengi sana, na kwa Produce sum sambazo ni kubwa sana, na zimefanya vizuri sana. So personalia za natis, nimi fotili ya sana mamuake, na recently I was very, very disappointed and had broken. Kusabu ni ditumia video hake na nikamuona. Hello everybody, this is Banya Sila, kwa alo anijui. I'm an artist, gospel music artist, Kenyan of course. So leo mi metakasana tu zengunze, today I'm a little bit disappointed. Osabiya what is happening in Kenya. Of course I'm an artist and I've been following through. Banya Sila mamuake na Fanyika klasiku, kwa Mitandao, kwa Osani Nanzangu, kwa Produce. Kuna jam mambalo nimi kwa liki Fanyika, for quite some time and I feel like this is very disappointing. So kuna umjama na itwa Magix Enga, nimi kwen kimfotili ya sana, nanapenda kazi ya ke sana. Amefanya kazi na Osaniwengi sana apa kenya. Amefanya kwa Tambulisha na kwa Saidia Osaniwengi sana na kwa Produce. Somu sama zoni kubwa sana nazi mefanya vizuri sana. So persona liya zanati isi nimi fatili ya sana mamuake. Na recently I was very very disappointed and had broken. Kusabu ni ditumia video hake na nikamuona. The guy is in a very sorry state. Unfortunately there are so many people that he's worked with. For a long time for many years he's done very big songs. But these people are out there, wana fanya vizuri as they say, mamuayao ya Kusawa as they say. Laki nuki anga liya wilem jama ame kwa nae, ama mua Shkiliya he's in a very sorry state. And this is very unfortunate.  If you look at Majik Senga right now and I'm saying this because he comes from Nakuru and I'm also originally from Nakuru. I'm saying this because I'm very attached with Nakuru, of course being my hometown. That doesn't mean that I forsake other places, Nakuru being my hometown, nahum jama kuwokomba Majik Senga na doka na Nakuru, na ni me Shkiliya osa niwingine sa nakutoka na Nakuru, na Skevibaya sa nakusababu, jama akunam mituambae, ama jitokeza kumsahidea. When you look at these songs that Enga meza kujitowa, for the last 2, 3, 4 years, most of them are still very big songs. One thing that I'm wondering is if this guy abekwan hawa for all that time, na sasa if di kwanziwa wachani, I don't think there's anybody among them ama maimetwa njimbo ika kuwa that big as those songs were. Wuki angaliya back then when he was working with them, there were so many big songs that he did for these people. Ama as they were working together, there are so many songs that came up from their collaboration. But kwanziwa huwa kachyambawa liya chan, ama kunkuwa na maambua, I don't know. Mi na Fili kuwama kuna njimbo ngingine, ama waha majama maimetwa, na ikeza kuwa kuba zahidi, ya zile, ama zwa liya za kutua. So, I wonder why either of these guys, akunam chuita mba hem zajitole ya seni kwa mba wacha njimsa liya ule jama, aize kurudia, kurudia ile maisha kia kawa ida maize kuwa, but I agree komba sisi bina dama tunazak kosea waka tenginek, tunazak kuwa napitana, tunazak kuwa komba ato elewani, bakini si hivo, ai manisha komba tikosana, awizi kuwa kunishi kamkono, ama kuni saibia, ama kuni funguli njiya, everybody deserves a second chance. So, I wonder why artists are not doing this. And this is not just for secular artists. This is actually even for gospel artists. There is no unity in the gospel music scene in Kenya. Why can't just one person come out, like yesterday I saw Eriko Moni, Aki Saidiya, one of the guys with I think health, something to do with hospitality, bill. Maki liya sit wata na wakashifu, Aki Fanya even, maa na ashikia wali wa tengime. But for this guy, kama majikseinga meku saidiya, kama majikseinga meku saidiya, umikuwa nae for 2-3 yas. And then the best you can do, nikuwa na kumizungumziya kule njiya, ati hea na kiburi, aw majikseinga meba di lika. Why can't you bana, mungu na saidiya wali mkono mauna toa bana, toa cekuwa na fiki bana. So for me, as bani asila, kusabi initiative zambazo na Fanya, meaning on your story, na majikseinga, I'm going to change your life. I'll be looking for you, 2-3 yas asaidiya naji, ili 2-3 kusadiya na tuba di lisha maisha kot kurubisha maia mapo li kuwa. It's unfortunate, ili bitu na nikuwa na nikuwa mba, ame saidiya wa 2-3 yasana. Ukiyanga liya, so many songs, ambazo nikuwa hadi wa sasa. All of us know these songs. They might not be gospel music, but they are very big songs. But these people are just out there na mizungumziya. So I'm fortunate. Kili tuki tomatun nge momba magik aizu kifanya nikuwa mba. Nige shkuru sana, kusabi mi ni fanuake, jaman ni producam kubwa, the whole East and Central Africa, I will say, ame toa niboni di sana. Nadjua hi ni kwa muziwake, daki mi nge momba tu kuwa mba, aizu kumukubali mi nizimu. Kusabi kia nga liya sasa nika ma dunia emi mtoka. Kili ame tu wa me mtoka. Ma fansuake, ma rafkizake, wota emi mtoka. And that's why we say kuomba wakatemginu nafiga kimaisha, dunia na kusahau, lakini mnizimungu aizu kuwa kiliya. So mi na kuomba magik, sabi mi na fanya nikuwa zainjili, mi na kuomba kizak mkubali aizu kristu, na kuomba tu, it's not a condition, it's just a request, but that does not stop me from supporting you. So I'll come to see you regardless, we'll work together regardless, but my request is that you accept Jesus Christ, kusabi kili ame tu nika ma nikuwa toka, so sure. So kifanya iblom mi na shukurusana, but even if you don't do, because that is personal, it's not a condition. Mi mi, I'm still going to look for you, I think I'll be coming to Nakuru on Friday to look for you, kusahau, and for these artists, kusahau, kusahau, But if you ask me as if to do what you say, I'll trust that kusahau but you can leave heaven and I'll invite you towards another kukusahau honey, to get a condom. Maybe the biggest song among all your songs, somebody is not in a good state, and you may be to say, I cameانu revolt, but is that a reason for you to neglect him? Is that a reason for you to turn up your back and say wule demon imbaya? Tu ena roba na tu ena utu, tu ena utu kama wa osani. Let's not preach to nangia kusu wae na knakunyo maji. Am na knakunyo kusu maji na knakunyo wae na. That's not right. And even for the gospel artists, you don't have to have worked with this guy because he's an artist like us. You don't have to have worked with him for you to come through for him. You don't necessarily have to have worked with magic for you to when assist him. As a gospel artist, seriously. Akunam tiyo tembe yame andali ya kusema, wachani teripu kuru extend my hand, yone kama neza sa idea unjama. It's not right. Atan belia machu ya mungu. Tu ateku, we should not be bashing people like Eriko Moundi, people like Muzazi, who are supporting talents. Enditu na zema wale siwa Christo, lakini we na Christo wako mejfundia maaili na zema, siyezi kun sa idea yule, ama siyezi kukai yule na yule. Nita katu na hu yu na hu. It's not right bana. So mi am doing that. You guys know that I'm doing so much already. I'm working with so many young talents, about upcoming artists. Next year I have about 10 artists. I'm out in another Europe tour, in my next Europe tour, in the month of March and April. We already have nine artists. We only have one slot to go. These 10 artists are coming from 10 different counties, and we're happy because we're working with so many other people. So the tours are already set, the dates are set. We're going to Finland, we're going to Norway, we're going to Switzerland, we're also going to Sweden and Spain, nama mambu kusava. I'm happy because we have so many people that are also coming through. So my objective is to really reach out and create a platform also for the rest wale yungi na mbao hawa na iyungia. So siyezi fanya hivo, na kule nyumba ni na kuru, nikama mambu haya kusava. So that is the reason why nimno na nilizuri, ngezi kumita futa umu jama na ito magic senga. Nimno na statiake na jama yu kusava, na sifu rahi, na sifu rahi juna hawa sa nia mbao, wana temiwa kiseima diza gospel artist, lakini wa ezi kutuam kono, kunyosha mkono, wa ezi kwa sa idea wengime. Even for the secular artists, it's not right, nbelia machu wa mungu. Ata kama mdi ma li kusaya bar. Kuna song sningi, nivire sezi sema bar. There are so many big songs and you know them. And I repeat again, most of these artists since that time, mwakatu wa li kusana na awasani na huyum jama. Ukiangaliya all the songs they've done, most of them are very low. When you look at them in terms of how much, how they performed. What does that mean? It means that guy had a talent. Now he played a big role to make them, make the moves that they did. So that should not, whatever happened between them should not make them hiki e katika kazi yama ufanyaji kazi ama wakua nafanyako pamoja. That's very low. So majiksenga mwi na kuja. On Friday I'm looking na kuja na kuru with my team to taku da putafuta, lafutu zungunze, trone prasadye naji. Next year we're establishing a music empowerment village. We're starting in na kuru. Badaia putra kuja na irobi, kisumu, andoret. Lakin kwanza kwanza na na kuru. Na pritaji producer, producers are about to work now because our aim is to support the young upcoming talents. So for that reason majiksenga na kuwomba zile na kuleza. Na kuwomba tu, okaza kumu, kubali munezimungu. Okifanya haia, of course, tenderlaia, lakin ni ata usipo mini badanda kusapot. That's not a condition, but it's my request that you do that. Alafutu pige kazi. I'm looking for so many producers about to work now for next year. We have a huge project to kitoka kule, Finland in the month of April, we are doing a countrywide tour. Tuna kuja kupige kazi bana. We have to create space for the young artist. Wale ambao hawan opportunity. We have to do that because there's no one who is doing it. There is a very huge space out here. Watu hawataki kushkanam kono. Muka kifika pali ni kama they are competing. We shouldn't be competing bana. Ule mkona una toa, de una rudishiva. Ule una toa una chukua kia kanyuma, una chukua kila kitu, una kikisha. So toeze kushkiliana, toeze kushkiliana, ilitu pige kazi. Asante nizana. Good job. Nagani, Iga, from Kachitrungi to Yake. So I have a question. Have you tried reaching out to him via phone call? Number two, how bad is his situation right now? Naku mezokse makoma you going to publish in different parts of the country and the actual part of the producer. Naku mezokse makoma na prezana na kumini section bali mkona instagram Ule yao. I have seen like a couple of comments ya watua kise mama aki Daniel majik satati kwa jilua. Aka ataka kumini na kwa kusutu yake. Number one, sigyam infikiya baduk, sabu sinakontakizake, nusabu nima ita apa. Na unojiwa majik sa nafanya, amalikua nafanya secular music na mago spellati. So pokweli, sigyafanya kazi nae. Lakin ni me fortili ya kazi ake. Na ni me kwa niki fortili ya kazi ake. Since then, sigiwote tu na jua. Nusifanya ni mentioned iso imbo. Sigiwote tu na jua, nibo ambazo ujama me toa ni kubwa sana with huge, huge following. Nibo kubwa sana na wasani weingi sana. So umjama ana talent. Nusifanya tu na mejua. And then of course it's unfortunate ya kumbakunam sana ni mwingi na imba mejitokeza. Ata yule imba mefanya nae kazi. Akunam sana imba mejitokeza. Aka sema atainakumu sa idea. It's not a problem kama wali kusana. It's not my business. Lakin ni that should not come between yae na kufanya kazi na mtumengine. It should end. So um nusifanya mi sema kusabusi na kontakza ake. On Friday ni akumutafuta na kulu. You ask about his state right now. Of course, tu me una video sigiwote. Tu me una kwa mitandao sigiwote. Vile yuko. Ni me kwa niki fortili ya. Lakin ni pi idea na tu ni kwa na kawna watuangu, na timiangu, kizuri tu ezekumutafuta. So he's not he's not okay, I think. He's not okay. He deserves somebody to hold his hand. And that's what I'm offering to do. I don't mind him being a secular artist. I don't mind. But na jua wasan sema kutukingine. Na jua 20 na sema mi na associate na people from the secular music scene or space. Ono jia taisu wakachali kuja bilen na sema komba alika sana na we nidandi. Kuna malia lulizu na wa farisa yo kwaninia na ka na wa Christu. Ono nidandi aka sema aka sema unezalinga nisha momba na kaziake na ilia kwa mba daktari akai na wala watu mba ni healthy na ka na wala watu niwa gonjwa. So kama sisi wala watu na ima nimba zainjili to kijifungia puseme we cannot associate ourselves with secular artists because they are doing secular music. Sasa how do we to the priests you cannot preach to a priest you can only preach to somebody who needs that. Nami na shkurumungu kusaba ni make up and that's what I'm doing. Yes. Rugi? Yes. Yes. Yes. That's why that's why we are going there on Friday to muskize illi to skie angetaka angetaka vipi kusaba siyezi mwambia to komba magik sapa sijintak faniya higwa man tak katiye hi nausilizi So friend was to ketinai chini to muskize na fkiriage na pangage alafsa from there then we'll decide with my team what to do but we are open to working with him. Yes. And supporting him. Okay. And what are some of the objectives how are you going to be unique on way and say my view and everything ask for you as banner to see the international brand and market that we can banner what are some of the things going to be outside here we will like the future if we like to much in attack and we will plan to play from the to come and be outside here What is making me unique? kuna walef from that waliweza kupata scholarship skule akunam sa niyata moja since the inception of this country akunam sa niyata moja mifanya hivu there are so many artists who can dana kuru if you want me to take you to each of them I can do that waliambao nimeshikili amkono sasa hivu na fanya mziki some things you know you don't have to come out here and shout but on this one I can say it ii am magic saying that because this one ii mini guza sana but there are so many other things I'm doing waliambao nimeshiki ya huyu na fanya hivu na no no no I don't do that in the month of July I worked with about 100 artists I think from about 4 counties wata wa ikuana irobi hapa na kuru na mombasa msa niyu bi ambaya na fanya hivu so there are so many things and then of course next year so many things are lined up number one tunapeleka ten local upcoming artists international kufana international tour so come and get kwa mimi na selfish tunadjua why should I take them na nimto ambaya julikani why should I take somebody ama na mulipia kila kitu mimi na mulisha na mulipia negi negi kutukapa di fini na nikama 150 na mulipia na muika upo for 2 months why should I do that nabano na mulipa ama na libo why should I do that but I'm open if you want to walk with me through the journey na wakarubisha in fact on Friday if you want me to go if you want us to go to to go together for magic saying that we can do that if you want me to introduce you guys to people that have already put together the team the ten artists I can do that we have that in place so doesn't that make it make me unique and to add of that maybe you've talked about chinini or saying how many things maybe we will come up on you what idea granny in your slum of course there was this video maybe you have an idea because here we can come up on you with that formula we should come up on you to go far or to meet with that zone when are you going to do that what idea do you have one idea kuwanza kabisa you cannot preach to again you cannot preach to a priest you can only maybe remind him magic saying that let me get back to that story magic saying that I'm a fan of songs na so many big artists in Kenya So kama huyu artistam bainim kubwa, awezi kukumbuka, ulemi jamam bainim sa idea liwa kuena hizu projects, sasa ta kumbuka jemitomba yajafanya na hem. How will that person work with another artist if they cannot work with somebody that they've been together na ujama na umia, weuna muangalia palia kumia na una sema kwamba utafanya na mungine. So there cannot be, unless we are hypocrites, unless we are hypocrites let's be real. So if it's about unity, kwanza ka bisa kama mimi nimefanya na. Mimi kuna vijanaringi me kusanya na. Lakini badus that has not stopped me from holding their hands. So many of them, and I can mention them. So the unity that will come, the unity that should be there, but for the unity to be there, they should not be hypocrisy. What weize kuzumuza ukueli. So let me say this is gumziya unity na hata. A good example mamba mimefanya tuongeleo magiksenga. If people can be honest enough, oweze kushikili ajama kama yule, mamba mimi fanya na eka ziadini stranger, then you can say, nita fanya kazi na mungine. You cannot claim to love God, mamba eha ujama una na haumpendi jiraniako, mamba wana ishi na eki lasigi. So kwanza penda jiraniako, kisha tuanleo na penda mungu. Kenyan gospel artists. No, they haven't failed. They are doing so much work. Kenyan gospel music has not failed or the artists have not failed. I will challenge you guys. Have you also been supporting them? Am I giving them the platform that they deserve? Have you been doing that? Really? I have a friend in Wanjiru. Anafanya kazi saafi sana. Juzia likuwa na a very good project that she does. How much life did you give to that initiative? How much exposure did you give that project? In your platforms? Ya, of course we know how to do it. But if you can talk about maybe tax, sincerely you will find a lot of power selling our gospel. Maybe most of the time it was a treatable behalf project. Yes, because anyway, she has an answer.  All the content that you put there is not about artists, our ite. So here Yvelin, I will give you the link. My other friend Gadyan, Anafanya kazi saafi sana, alikuwa na initiative PR he launched, he is doing a great job, which is true, Anafanya kazi saafi. How much exposure? I will give you the link. I will give you the information, the content that I promote. Kazi saafi sana, Gadyan, Wanjiru, Baniasila. When did you do that? When was the last time you did that? It's easier when you can do it because it's easier when you can do it. It's easier when you can do it. It's easier when you can do it. It's easier when you can do it. I will give you the link, the link that I promote. I can see what you possibly have. One of them is coming because I am fuiafanya because we are puzzle puzzle trian. One of them is, I want to Confirma, him pani kazi edu. We have two of platforms that I interviewed, I just do it now. One of them is interview, So, they don't support you? What about, what about, taku yeko yeko yeko lani, laki ni? Mula ni yeko yeko yeko lani? You see, you see my main point, my main point is this, you guys, it's true that you guys mkona content everyday, that is factual. Now, see you all the secular artists, see you kama, laki ni all the secular artists, see you kama, I don't think they all treat you differently, not all of them, but still you put the content out there. So, the same way you're challenging gospel artists, mkwa mbi aje imekufa, wakotini, wakonini, give them life, atanyeni. So, the secular artists, wakonini, nasisi, wakotini, wakotini, wakonini, wakonini, wakonini, wakonini, wakonini, wakonini, wakonini, wakonini, wakonini, wakonini, wakonini, wakonini, wakonini. Of course, of course, of course, I take it myself, but as you guys see, I think, to mkona kawa pala inje bifona mkwa, mkwa nwiwata mkanyen bianiko, See, mkona kwa 40, sasa? Asanti. Asanti. Okay, so, kama kuna suali, mkona shkuru sana. Thank you for making time, everybody. Magik sayangatunakuja kongalia, on Friday. Tukutani Friday, mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa sana, mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa mkwa. I know that. But yesu hakuja kusabiya wali mkwa kukani sana, alikuja kusabiya wali mkwa mkwa inje. And that's why, mimi, I'm taking that step. And I cannot let a brother, awmiye, kusabiya na fana kitutofa ujina mimi. The love that Christ came alitupatia, she'll go beyond boundaries and borders. The love that we preach as Christians, as gospel artists, or as any other artist or person, she'll go beyond your belief or whatever thing that you believe in. So for me, I'm looking for this guy in Akuja Uko on Friday, 20 years ago. Asante nisana.


So the next speaker will be Yahya Tayyadati. He's from Morocco in Rabat University and also based at CERN currently. So it'll be more of an experimental talk as you can see on your side and so please start Yahya. Hello, do you hear me? Yes, we hear you. Excellent. So good afternoon everybody. I'm Yahya Tayyadati from the University of Muhammad 5 in Rabat. Please allow me to thank first the organizer and Professor Ali Hassan Ali who gives me this opportunity to present some of our activity in this African Physics Society meeting. So this is the outline of my talk. I will first present one of our recent activity with the atlas collaboration which concerned the search of light by light scattering. After that I will move to the some of our recent activity on astro particle side with the entire collaborations and the search for exotic physics, exotic particles with neutrino telescope. And before to conclude I will also discuss some of the hardware projects we initiated recently in Morocco for both high energy physics and astro particles. So with our group I'm talking on behalf of these people. I'm supervising five PhD students Hassan Al-Jerari who is based at CERN in Geneva leading the activity of search of dark matter in the Higgs ZDK. Hassan Hamdawi almost done with his PhD and he was involved on heavy ion physics. On the bottom we have Jihad on astro particle side. He is working on monopoles with Antares telescope and leading the hardware activity in Rabat. About a year ago we have been joined by Miriam and Ahmed working for Kaimtrinet telescope. Miriam is studying the efficiency of detection of supernova and the demo we will continue with the search of mining in the monopole on the Kaimtrinet telescope. So as you can see we are trying to I try to do our best in order to respect the balance gender. So let's start now with the health activities as you know the light by light scattering is processed which is completely forbidden in classical electrodynamics but it appears in quantum electrodynamics in this diagram with loops with a contribution from quark and and lepton at low energy while we have W boson would dominate the contribution at high at high energy but this process is extremely rare you can see the cross section is proportional to alpha fourth alpha is the fine constant structure which which make it extremely difficult to detect there were many devices proposed to to probe this process but without success but when colliding when considering ultra peripheral collision of the ions the cross section gets in hand since the electromagnetic since the the due to the dependency of the electromagnetic field on the charge of collided ions so which give an opportunity to to observe this for example at the LHC so a very simple topology of the signal you have two scattered for them and the final state the the heavy ions escape the collision with possibility of excitation in the final state at the detection level we will have only the activity of the photons at the level of the calorimeter while the rest of the detection will will behave silent with no activity what what make this since professor Khalil Shaban has discussed dark matter and so on what make this process interesting is not only to probe for a process which is predicted by stonder model but these photons could couple to any new particle and we have here a clean way to probe new physics beyond the stonder model okay in fact atlas has already presented using data from 2015 ultra peripheral collision of lead lead at five at five dev the equivalent of luminosity of 0.48 nano barn inverse they have already provided the first evidence for for the light by light scattering you can see here the basic selections and they they have observed 13 event when we were expecting glee on events being at that time as the first evidence 4.4 sigma for this for this challenging process we our group in rabat has participated to the new analysis which turned the the data from run to sorry data of 2018 we have three more ultra peripheral collision data from lead lead collision at five dev with major improvement as you can see here in term of the trigger efficiency and the identification of photon which is now based on neural network technique and with better rejection of the background on the top you have the trigger efficiency for the old analysis compared to the new one in the bottom one can see that we have the major improvement here especially at low energy you can see that we we reach already the 60 percent of efficiency at about the 5 gv okay this is the sample we use super sheen in order to simulate the signal we have two major background the one the first one is the exclusive the electron production gamma gamma two pair of electrons they were simulated with star light and we have simulated the contribution and the central explosive production photon from gluon with super sheen all the other background coming from electronic noise and from cosmic and so on are negligible and we're not considered in in this analysis so here's some forces on the left you can see the photon reconstruction efficiency which has been derived from gamma gamma to electron positron which is a background for this study but is also used to to calibrate for calibration and so on photons here comes from bremstra long we consider event gamma gamma two ee when one electron emit hard bremstra long radiation due to the interaction with the matter on the right side you can see the the performance in term of the identification of which is uh pension early based on shower shape variable and neural network technique we are using here photon background photons derived from data and also we compute we train the the we train the soft on the Monte Carlo samples so here I present the cut flow basically we require two photon each one with at least three gv this card it's on order to separate prompt photon from fake photon from cosmic and and and so on and from the electronic noise also which which have low energy we are exclude the transition zone of the calorimeter is also exclude for that reason and on the bottom you can see we require no activity especially no reconstructed of any charged particle and we have one of one efficient cut on the aqua planarity which reduce the central exclusive production and the contribution which come from glue one okay so here the new result using data from 2018 as you can see uh represented here in term of the aqua planarity on the left and in fact as interpreted also in in mass invariant mass of the two photons represented here for the the background and from gamma gamma in two pair of electron in blue and for the central exclusive production of photons from gluon and the expected signal in red and the data with the black dots at last reported 59 event this time where we were expecting only two event from the background this has been interpreted as an observation at eight sigma of the light by light scattering similar result has been also presented by by cms we have also measured the cross section of this process and you can see the value observed are close to uh withening of course the error are close to what is expected in theories okay so let's move now to uh before to go to as for particle physics let me show you one of the event this is the most energetic event we have atlas has registered as you can see we have just back to back scattered photon and no activity in the rest of the of the data i will skip this but the data from 2015 and 2018 has been combined in order to proper for new physics here we considering the possible coupling of the two photon to action like particle which are good candidate for dark matter we have computed atlas has computed the limit upper limit on the cross section and the coupling and you can see on the right with this with data with the combined data from 2015 and 2018 similar analysis compared to the light by light scattering we are pushed here on bottom in blue atlas has pushed the exclusion to a new a new best limit so this is important as halil mentioned when we are searching for new physics beyond the standard model okay let's start with some recent activity on astro particles as you probably know morocco has joined the antarisk collaboration since 2011 when first with the university mohammed one in wujda where i got my first position at that time and later on by uh also my actual university university mohammed five robot has uh has has joined and we managed to transform morocco in cluster which include also our national center of nuclear technique nester in rabat and also the university of of marrakech uh since this is a schematic view of the uh antastelescope so the collaboration managed to deploy successfully uh and since 2008 uh 12 lines each one about 400 meter containing 25 floor and each floor contained three optical module which will detect the sharing of light emitted by millions from induced by by neutrinos in rabat we took the all the responsibility concerned the search of exotic particles the first analysis i will present here concerned the search of magnetic molecules so this analysis relies on two parameters on the on the right we have the brightness of the of the event in green you can see that monopole emit more light compared to what we get from muons represented here in red or what we get from the from neutrino in blue here also comparison to that are represented with the black dots the second you can look at the end here as the number of fired fired optical modules on the left we have a second important variable which is just uh the reconstructed quality uh weighted with the brightness of the event and we have here the number of parameter fitted in order to uh to find the track of uh of the monopoles represented of course here with green for fast monopole blue for neutrino and atmospheric muons in red compared to what we get in data so we we the optimized parameters one can as you can see here one can isolate monopoles from atmospheric million than neutrinos we need to optimize a cut on the brightness of in the event which is represented here in function of the quality of reconstruction of the of the of monopoles this is work quite fine for fast monopole for slow monopole we have an extra cut on the velocity which is reconstructed and should be for slow monopole different from the still flight for millions and neutrinos so we have presented in the last neutrino 2020 meeting a new update for the sensitivity for magnetic monopoles you can see what we get with about with data up to two thousand the equivalent of two thousand four hundred eighty days of data taking here in red it's you can see that exploring the optical property of water we are providing a better and competitive up limits on magnetic monopoles sensitivity I should mention that we have also using about one the equivalent of one thousand twelve days data we have published also a result here in red which was at that time competitive for of the limits from ice cube at at high velocity and fast monopoles so a second it's a performed collaboration with guys put the PhD students in university at university of ujda supervised by my colleague musab illa I remind you that nuclei it was being it's stable part to lose quarter good on the day or so for the light also on two volumes we have on the right the brightness like the part of the event represented for nuclear with different energy in red major and green uh 40 you mass for 10 to 14 gv up to 10 to 16 ev we have more light compared to what we get from atmospheric millions in blue and uh black solid line correspond to me the measured data we uh this is the first variable and the second one is profit from the fact that nuclear right transit the telescope in quite long duration it take like about 200 milliseconds for a nuclear to transit in the telescope compared to a blue line here for the transit time for millions is about two microseconds so we have these two key variable for this analysis but one can see that by optimizing a cut on the brightness and the the time of transit of nuclear rights in the telescope one can perfectly isolate nuclear rights from from atmospheric million represented here in blue this optimization has been done following the Feldman Cousin approach and we have provided new sensitivity you can see we here in red which has been presented in the last conference neutrino 2020 and you can see we push forward the limit compared here to what we get for example from macro macro experiment before to conclude i i think i have a two two minutes to present some hardware activity morocco has joined recently the kaim 3 net collaboration which aim to build new generation of neutrino telescope similar to antares but at big scale we are talking about kilometer network telescope in fact we have two sides one close to orca one close to france and the other one to italy orca is dedicated to low energy activity while orca will will deal with high energy neutrinos so quite promising physics this is the program and what is expected from kaim 3 net low energy will study the neutrino oscillation the problem of hierarchy and so on and orca will will study the the source of cosmic rays and and so on we have some exotic activity in medium energy okay so we have convinced the collaboration uh to build uh to set up a dom sign integration site which will be uh dedicated to the production of digital optical module for this telescope it's really uh here you can see the the lab is now well furnished and you can see on the bottom left the our test bench completely set up with our phd student so this project will bring uh some high-level training for our students and will give more visibility to morocco and it's kind of uh it works trans uh technology transfer to to our country uh another site will be uh has been approved by the collaboration and will be installed to the university of ujda it will be dedicated to the integration of base module you can look at base module like a router which will collect uh optical signal from four lines of the detection very nice activity again will ensure the good training high-level training for phd student and uh knowledge transfer to to to our country uh on her side after a long discussion with management board of atlas discussion initiated by my colleague rashid mazini from academy kassinika myself we convene the collaboration to approve a project which will involve in elegant way the participation of morocco to the upgrade so since couple of weeks morocco uh represented by masir its technological foundation we have in rabat has joined the atlas collaboration as associate institute and we will participate to the constructions and the assembly of the high granularity timing detection uh this is one of the major upgrade of atlas since they want to uh will the 4d detection providing information opposition and also on on timing the it's explore the you know this elgad low gain avalanche detection technique and the the goals is to reach a resolution of about 30 picosecond in time okay this uh technological and 60 percent which is extremely important 60 percent of this high granularity timing detection will be produced in morocco since morocco has been chosen as six sites for this uh for the assembly of uh this uh nice and and challenging the device okay so i reached my conclusion to say that we are active in uh in both high energy physics and astro particles for high energy physics i didn't have time i i just presented our activity our activities in with the hivions groups we we we have observed we participated to the observation of light by light scattering so the lhc worked perfectly as a collider of photons and we we are also very active on the astro particle side with antares collaboration and the search for exotic particle like magnetic monopoles and nuclearite and we have initiated some hardware project in morocco which will give more visibility to our country and we we we will ensure of course high level training of our ut and i hope via morocco also we can share these expertise with other african country thanks a lot thank you very much for for such a comprehensive talk you're here uh and for sticking to time do we have any quick questions from the audience i don't see any questions in the text but maybe somebody uh maybe okay hasan please go ahead Ali so thank you thank you yeah here so you know i'm not a high energy physicist so um but i just wanted to ask you uh do you have any uh do you already have some contact with the people at ictp? yes we are in contact with booby akaria for example and yeah and i should mention that ictp supports also some of our students yes i am the director of a group it's a kind of affiliated center to the ictp yes okay okay that's not right so i just want i guess yeah so one of one of the reasons why it was very nice for you to be here is also for the other people in the african community to see what's what's going on and and to try to build some some networks and collaborations so uh so yeah thank you very good um another question when is uh and taurus expected to start taking data and taurus was running since 2008 and uh it's still it started in 2008 and still running yeah so what i presented it was i think you mean k3 net uh i guess the new generation of telescope yeah for k3 net we we managed to deploy a few lines we have six lines in the orca we started to taking data okay but the goal is to have a complete uh detection unit about which is 115 lines for orca for example and for arca we will have two detection units each with 115 lines okay very good um i don't see any more questions from the audience so just one quick question so my question is about the magnetic monopoles what's the prospects for detection of magnetic monopoles and then what will this mean for charge quantization i mean as i showed what we have we didn't find the magnetic monopole you can see here we just uh this is our last real result you see in green we have just set an upper limit on the magnetic monopole flux yes okay so we're almost certain it doesn't exist yeah i could not say that maybe the flux is less than this experimental limit okay okay so i guess we can stop here thank you very much i have also a question please um i'll i'll leave it to have a question should we stop here i think i think you can go ahead and ask it's fine okay that will be the last question of the session thanks okay okay uh please is there any way to get the light by light startering theoretically regarding the femur diagram i didn't get exactly what you mean like what's there if there is another possibility to to get the light by light scattering another way up to now yeah regarding the femur diagram yeah up to now you can see here the cross section is very weak due to the cathode fourth there were many devices based on laser and so on and for the moment the only way is with colliding heavy ions okay thank you so much because in order to enhance these cross sections okay so thank you so much so when uh how long do you expect we will observe those magnetic monopoles perhaps it could solve the problem of losing masses of universe it's it's like the question before i think i cannot answer it depends you know okay i i think what we are doing in antares uh and i think with the huge telescope like i'm treating it we will have more sensitivity and we can definitively decide on the existence of monopole form but right now with small antares telescope it's almost impossible has an alip just allow me to to to add one thing we we are in discussion with senegal a discussion with senegal in order to join antares k etrinat and atlas we have also uh we made contact with with university and we concretize an adhesion of which to to k etrinat and we are willing to discuss with any other country and help them in order to be involved in this international efforts i will be very happy if if we can help at that level okay thank you thank you very much um okay so i think we have to close this session to an end it's been a very busy day uh thank you shoaib and marcello uh for chairing this last session uh thank you to all the speakers and thank you all we'll see you tomorrow morning at 10 a.m for the poster session of course virtually so have a very good evening and thank you thanks bye bye thank you
