وأقولوا في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزال وأقولوا قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأول الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على عبد الله ورسوله نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته فإن الهمة مقدمة الأشياء فمن صلحت له همته وصدق فيها صلح له ما وراء ذلك من العمل فهذا هو حقاً من الموضوعه ونحن محقق فيه كل شيء بعد ذلك من الموضوعه سيكون حقاً فما يجب أن يمتلك هذا الرمضان؟ ما are some of the things that should make you feel motivated and dedicated and have those big aspirations and big dreams? من أمام الأشياء is the statement of the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم from the Hadith of Abi Huraira رضي الله عن that the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said the Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said indeed Allah has the people that He frees from the Hellfire every day and every night i.e. in Ramadan every day and every night in Ramadan Allah has individuals that He has selected that person to be freed from the Hellfire on that day or on that night every single servant among them has a dua that will be certainly answered سبحان الله shouldn't we be striving to be from the people that Allah has freed from the fire among the names of the people that Allah has freed from the fire and striving for that da'wah that is mustajab the dua that is accepted making dua in our free time in the times when your dua is accepted looking for that acceptance from Allah striving for it working for it aspiring towards it and part of that أرول همه is that you believe you can be from those people not from the people who say that or that can't be me how can I be from the people who are freed from the fire on that night how can my dua be answered on that night instead you believe that it is within your reach by the permission of Allah and the help of Allah and you strive for it and you work for it and you keep it as your goal and your aspiration to achieve it from the things which should motivate us is what Imam Al-Bukhari narrated from رضي الله عنه that He said إنه في الجنة مئة درجة عده الله للمجاهدين في سبيل الله ما بين الدرجتين كما بين السماء والأرض He said indeed in جنة there are a hundred levels that Allah has prepared only for those who strive or those who fight in the way of Allah what is between each of these levels are you within the hundred between each level is like what is between the heavens and the earth فا إذا سألتم الله فسألوه الفردوس and if you ask Allah then ask Allah for الفردوس if you ask Allah don't ask Allah to make you the last person in جنة don't ask Allah oh Allah give me anything in جنة oh Allah just give me the smallest space in جنة I will be happy that's not علوه الهما that's not motivation and aspiration and big goals and big dreams if you ask Allah ask Allah for الفردوس ask Allah for الفردوس what is الفردوس فإنه أوسط الجنة وأعلى الجنة and it is the highest place in paradise and then the narrator he said أراه I think that he said فوقه أرش الرحمن ومنه تفجر أنهار الجنة he said above it he said I believe that he said who I see that he said above it is the throne of our رحمن and from it spurred forth the rivers of جنة look at علوه الهما in this حديث well life this is the own if this was the only حديث that we had on the topic of high aspirations it would be enough if you ask Allah for جنة ask him for the highest place in جنة the best place in جنة have big goals big aspirations strive for them be motivated these are from the things that should motivate us in this month of رمضان there is a beautiful story from an Imam of Tabari the great Imam of the Mufassir the Imam of the scholars of تفسير رحمه الله تعالى that he said to his companions one day اتنشاطونا لتفسير القرآن do you feel the energy that we should do you feel do you feel like you have the energy that we should cover the تفسير of the قرآن are you ready for it that we should cover the تفسير of the قرآن قالوا كم يكونوا قدر they said how much how big will this تفسير be how big is it going to be فقال ثلاثون ألف ورقة he said 30,000 pages long how big is this تفسير going to be 30,000 pages long that's how big it's going to be 30,000 pages can you imagine that قالوا هذا ربما تفن الأعمار قبل تمامه they said perhaps a person's entire life would end before they were able to finish it فختصره في نحو ثلاثة آلاف ورقة so he summarized it in 3,000 pages for them he made it simple for them and he brought those 30,000 pages then he said to them ثم قال هل تنشاطون لتاريخ العالم من آدم إلى وقتنا هذا he said are you do you feel ready do you feel the energy that we should cover the history of the world from آدم until this time of ours قالوا كم قدر how much will it be they said will it be very long how long are you going to make it فذكر نحو مما ذكره في التفسير he said something similar to what he said in the Tafseer around 30,000 pages or similar فأجابوه بمثل ذلك they responded the same way that maybe your whole life is going to go we're not going to finish it فقال فختصره في نحو مختصر التفسير he said indeed we are to Allah as though someone has died he said we belong to Allah the aspirations have died people's aspirations have died all those big goals that people used to have it's like he's saying the people of his time the people before him if you said 30,000 pages of Tafseer they were ready 30,000 pages of history they were ready now the students in his time when he said this to them he said let me make it a bit short can we just make it 3,000 pages and that's what he did and he felt in his time رحم الله تعالى that the big aspirations and the lofty goals that existed among his teachers and even his generation and those before him had all but passed away what would he say if he saw the situation that we have in our time and there's a beautiful statement from الحسن البصري رحم الله تعالى that he said من نافسك في دينك فنافس ومن نافسك في دنياك فألقها في نحر he said whoever competes with you in your religion then compete with him and whoever is racing with you pushing you trying to motivate you in your religion and you they compete with you you compete with them you're trying to each one is trying to do a little bit more than the other one if you find people who are someone is there that they're pushing you and motivating you in your religion compete with them and whoever competes with you in your worldly life فألقها just throw it back at him let him have it فألقها في نحر throw it back at him let's give it back to him look at the motivation that the تابعين had and those who followed them in good that when it came to the religion they were motivated I want to learn more I want to memorize more I want to study more and they're pushing each other and motivating each other in the when it comes to the you may as well just let him have it أبي هريرة رضي الله عن نريت قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم المؤمن القوي خير وأحبوا إلى الله من المؤمن الضعيف وفي كل خير أحرس على ما ينفعك وستعين بالله ولا تعجس بكين for what will benefit you and this is the himmah here بحرس بحرس بكين looking out for everything that will benefit you some of the scholars said whether it's in your dunya, your deen whatever there is that you find a benefit for you that's going to bring you nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer and nearer because it's a benefit for you that's going to bring you in any aspect of your life بحرس بكين for it be motivated for it وستعين بالله and seek the help of Allah because motivate on its own it won't bring you to any goal you have to seek the help of Allah ولا تعجس and don't ever say that you can't do it don't ever say I can't do it don't ever feel you're going to be defeated don't ever feel I'm unable to do this وإن أصابك شيء فلا تقول لو أنني فعلتوا كان كذا وكذا وإن شيء يحدث لك، شيء يفوزك، كلمة، شيء يجيب في حرسك، في حرسك، في حرسك لتحصل على ما سوف يفعلك وكذلك وكذلك لا أحد يقول إذا فقط فعلت هذا، فهذا سيحدث أو هذا سيحدث هذا سيحدث أو هذا سيحدث ولكن قل قدر الله وما شاء فعل لكن يقول إنه قدر الله وما شاء فعل في بعض الأشياء قدر الله وما شاء فعل الله يكريد وما شاء فعل فإن لو تفتحوا عمل الشيطان لأن يقول إذا فقط يفتح الوصول إلى الأشياء of الشيطان والحديث يفتح في صحيح مسلم وأنا سأترككم في صحيح هذا صحيح جميل هذا one of the famous things that is often said رجلٌ ذوهما يُحي أم A man with motivation and aspirations big dreams A man with high aspirations can give life to an entire nation أنا سأترككم في هذا That's what Allah made easy for me to mention مع زوجل نوز باست والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعي السلام عليكم If you are enjoying these videos and you like

We got a lot of fun games to talk about This is the best time of year for me when we have playoff implications So I'm ready to get after it with you, Jim And there are many boring windows like we start things off with I think a banger on Thursday night with the 49ers Seahawks We don't typically talk to Thursday game, but I will I will toss in you know Really some thoughts on that game in a bit. We get the Dolphins bills to cap off Saturday I think Vikings Colts is somewhat interesting to and then Ravens Browns is what it is And then even during the Sunday early window where we're typically like, okay, you know Just checking DFS lineups not the best game We still get Lions Jets and like that game and we get Cowboys Jaguars like that's a good window, too So I'm pretty stoked about this week We'll break down where we're seeing value across those games in just a bit But first a reminder to make sure you are subscribed to covering the spread wherever you get your podcast We put up our college football Bowl preview show with Dr. Ed Fang breaking down strategies for your bowl pools Some Betsy likes for these bowl games teams he thinks are undervalued for the ESPN College football Bowl pick-up games and all that stuff.

Oh, it's huge I mean just from the standpoint of when you're talking about especially these games that have close spreads to them You know like it will talk about it later, but the Titans and Chargers I mean, I mean you're you're expecting these teams to go after it to go for it We saw that last week with there being a lot of one score games as well as playoff implications We're on the line not as many as I would probably like for my card But you know, I know I digress. Yeah, it's huge for for me Especially when we're talking about explosive teams for the over as well, too I mean whether we'll play a factor we talked about that you talk about all the time last week But yeah, especially now that we're real well into December That does start playing a factor for some of these outside games But at the end of the day, you know, if the teams got if they're in a close battle and got a score That's really what I look for. So yeah, we have a lot of playoff implications coming in on on this week And so that pretty much are the games that I like to target and not the ones where you know, you can get weird stuff Happening with people who are off the bench or rookie's playing or things of that nature Or we don't have enough data on the season for them I think this is one of the areas where I factor in the eye test the most because you can often tell How engage a team is like I think the Rams are good example heading into last week or it was when they were playing I think it was the the Seahawks game.  They're trying they're they're making a push And then we saw that again Thursday night against the Raiders. They push for all four quarters So I think that eye test for me factors in a bit more here trying to judge whether or not the teams that are eliminated are checked out like I guess this is not a good example because they are still probably gonna win their division But like the Bucks look checked out like Mike Evans at times kind of know it's a very odd situation So I don't like to use eye test always as like a key driver But I think for these situations I want to judge whether team is still engaged and if they're not That situation can take advantage of or if they are I can handicap that game straight up and Play it based on that. So that's kind of the way I will will play things there Let's talk about this Thursday night game because it is kind of a banger We got the 49ers and the Seahawks 49ers are now three point favorites that has come down for three and a half the Money line there is down to minus 176 Seahawks are at 148 now Ryan I talked on Tuesday, but how I like the Seahawks money line. It was plus one fifty four I believe at that time so a tiny bit of movement, but not much. I'm still showing value in the Seahawks What's your read on this game 49ers and Seahawks? Yeah, I mean it's tough because I was not on the sea or not on the sea It's not on the 49ers bandwagon last week they disappointed I mean was on the Seahawks bandwagon have been for a while. They disappointed me as well But this is this is Seattle Super Bowl I mean when you're looking at the NFC standings and what it means on the bubble and the playoff picture like they're right behind Washington and the Giants who are playing against each other this week So they need to come out and bring it now. They're gonna have 12 behind them. I do think that they somewhat bounce back I know that they were dealing with a lot of injuries. You love that kind of Walker is going to be back for the Seahawks The thing that does worry me. I did like the hook here when it was being given with the 49ers because Of the way that they've been able to control the ball And we know what the 49ers want to do and they've been able to make that a point with Brock Purdy is run the ball The Seahawks cannot stop the run if you know if their life defended on it The Carolina Panthers just ran 40 times On this team and really were able to make life miserable for them. So it is gonna come down to Gino I do like that they do have the home crowd behind them though And we get to see Brock Purdy on the road instead of having the 49ers, you know, fandom behind him So we'll see what he can do for right now for me I'll just get the points with Gino, but it was a little bit favorable when we were getting that point half point It's Brock Purdy on the road But also with no Devo and I think that like I I liked Brock Purdy when he was a freshman at Iowa State I did not like my Brock Purdy post freshman year at Iowa State. There was no progression there So like I'm not anti Brock Purdy. I just am skeptical of a guy who felt that far in the draft Now has one less weapon now going on the road I think they'll be the run the ball at will like you said, but I still think that Seattle is the right side here So I'm glad to hear we're in that game the exact same way. Let's now go to the Saturday games Talk about the Dolphins at the bills. This one is also moved. It was seven and a half now down to seven Total is up to 43 and a half. It was 42 and a half on Wednesday And I think the reason why this spread was so big initially is obviously because to a tongue of a loa Not just the fear of the weather with the winds being high temperature being low But also he's struggled a lot the past two weeks Can they write the ship here and cover a pretty big spread against the bills? Yeah, it's it's it's gonna be tough For them on the on the road here I mean, especially when we're talking about December and where they need to go to travel and you know They've been they've been traveling a lot I mean the Miami was on the West Coast for a little bit and now they come back East Coast But it's in Buffalo and it's a pretty harsh thing to go from staying on the UCLA campus between those two games now going to Buffalo, that's that's a that's a harsh transition Yeah, and so, you know, they had they've had had some success against this Miami team the bills That is which is why I like the seven here I mean, yeah, the the offense is is struggling only 126 passing yards from to a last week Definitely devastating there, but the bills on a five game winning streak Against the Miami Dolphins Sean McDermott is nine and two versus the Miami Dolphins like in his tenure Now, I know that doesn't really speak much to the spread But when we're talking about playoff implications when we're talking about the AFC number one seed picture being on tap for the bills And this being a divisional divisional matchup This is this is kind of where I start to get excited because we we know that the dolphins have the pieces of the kind of state in this game if they want to even though I'm interested in the seven there I am also interested in the over a 42 and a half because There's going to come a point when it's just going to be onto a like if the running backs unable to get it going We've seen Mike Daniel, Mike McDaniel actually have the propensity to throw more in these situations where the team needs to get more out of it And you know, for whatever it's worth The bills have been playing better at home But Josh Allen has been making some mistakes down the stress down the stretch and this is some opportunistic defensive pieces on the dolphin side So I do think this makes for a fun matchup on Sunday I'm willing to take the the bills now that it's seven instead of seven and a half I think that's you know a key number enough for me where you know we can see a last minute touchdown from Josh Allen and we can get that cover But yeah, I think the bills are firing off cylinders right now the dolphins got to prove it to me so let's go bills seven Yeah, with the total I show value in the over there as well I just built out a total model like very recently so take this is a grain of salt but it has the total for this game at forty four point or forty five point four So almost two points of value relative to forty three and a half and that does account for wind because I as you know like wind a lot So it does account for the wind and it's still showing the over there which I think is why we see it's moving towards that direction My numbers like the dolphins here but I refuse to bet it I absolutely will not I don't hate myself that much I like to a I think that to a is a fun quarterback I wanted to succeed but again I test kind of thing last weeks have been like it looks like he has the yips Like that's what it looks like to me and if I have that concern layered on top of the weather concerns where it actually is high wind speeds doesn't the biggest arm strength that might be tough in the situation they can't run the ball Jeff Wilson has a practice the first two game first two days of practice I have value but I refuse to take it so if I were to play something this game I'd be more inclined to play the over forty three and a half But probably not doing that either I just it's it gives me the heebie jeebies so I think that you've you've you've got that one well covered for us there Let's go down to the Titans of the Chargers this one's I think more fun I have no play in this game but I think it's a fun game We got the Chargers favorite by three total is forty seven and a half in the Chargers beat the Dolphins last week to keep their playoffs hope alive playoff hopes alive Titans past two games really disappointing and Traylon Berkson practice once again on Wednesday so can the Titans keep pace here can the Chargers not show the wind to keep their playoff hopes alive what's your read on this game Yeah so I mean the you know that the juxtaposition for me on this game because I usually you know I don't really like taking the Chargers when they're a favorite even though that it's you know three maybe I'd rather like it at two and a half But that you know I always take the Titans especially off of a loss you know when they when they you know have when they're coming off of a loss with Mike Brable as the head coach love the love the over on this game just for the start I mean the Titans have defense has been allowing points and bunches and the way that Justin Herbert's been playing and throwing You know it's frustrating that the touchdowns haven't been there but this guy has been absolutely slinging the rock I mean what he was able to do last week against Miami with the you know completion for 75% completion percentage on 50 throws is incredible I am willing to get the Chargers minus three here they the Titans this is a funny stat that I had seen the Titans since moving to Tennessee. So like becoming from the Houston Oilers to the Tennessee Titans and even with Baltimore they're two and nine against the Chargers for whatever that's worth. So they have struggled against this team historically. The Chargers you know from an offensive propensity standpoint like if we can you know we're going to get another week of Mike Williams back like Joshua Palmer. When I Keenan Allen's been that's his security blanket like this Titans defense like I saw enough last week against Trevor Lawrence to know that like anytime they're playing against a prolific offense going forward. It's going to be tough. Now you know we look at Derek Henry on the other side and Derek Henry you know he was for 120 yards last week and the Titans got a loss and that's only the second time that that's happened since he's been with the team over the past couple years under Mike Brable. So you know you like to think that if Derek Henry gets going that's enough but I just really don't feel like the Titans have enough offensive pieces to make this a go and then with the with the other side of things. Just the way the defense is playing like the Chargers could help drive this total in it of themselves. They need to keep their playoff hopes alive so I'm willing to go the Chargers here against the. Yeah I think this game is fascinating because on both sides. It's a like a it's a match of disadvantage for the defense because the Titans secondary sinks and the Chargers can't run. So it doesn't matter that the Titans are good against the rush because the tight the Chargers don't care like they can't run the ball against anyone except the Browns that's the only thing they can run against. So it's going to be Mike Williams Keenan Allen Josh Palmer like you said against a pretty rough secondary advantage for the Chargers offense there on the opposing side though the Chargers couldn't stop the run if they put 16 dudes in the box and they're facing Derek Henry. I know how how is that going to go for them now. I talked about I just built a total model it says that the under here I'm not doing that because because when I think about this game it's like I think both teams should be able to move the ball pretty effectively and how do they get stops so. So I think honestly I think that you're reading the total 47 and a half makes a lot of sense because it's just a stylistic mismatch on both sides where I think both teams will be able to move the ball in the way they want to move the ball. Can the opposing defense make adjustments to counteract that I'm skeptical because they've known about these weaknesses all year and yet it's not been able to correct it so. My numbers as far as the side goes to a very efficient number actually if you even my two models Chargers by 2.69 and Chargers by 3.32 it's almost exactly three so stay away from me on that regard but. I think we should see some fun offense here and I think it'll be a delight of a game and like just from like a fan perspective. I grew up a Jets fan so like I should be reading for the Jets but if I had to choose between watching Mike White and Justin Herbert and the playoffs. And Mac Jones I think you know which one I'm going to take there so we're Chargers fans the next couple of weeks at least on my end. Let's finish up with the Sunday night game giants at commanders commanders are four and a half point favorites here total is 40 and a half we saw this match up two weeks ago and they tied. I had the Giants money line there and they pushed so that was true to light should have taken spread dummy but what can we learn from that game in trying to bet this one on Sunday night. Yeah I just the Giants you know they just aren't doing it for me as of late you know we got the quarterback roulette they're going on with Daniel Jones and Tara Taylor and the commanders you know we get a little rest here for them. They are at home I mean this you know talk about playoff match up like these two teams are fighting for pretty much that same spot in the NFC with the record tied and it being a divisional game. I could understand why people would think you know under here because you know the way the Washington defense has been playing over the past couple of weeks like it makes it tough to think that the Giants are going to get anything going like this because the Washington defense was able to hold you know the Eagles down earlier this season and like the Eagles just throttled this Giants team and it was not even a contest. So you know in Taylor Heineken we trust this week I mean this guy has been absolutely balling for them you know they think they're one five one and one with him starting this year they're two and four without him playing so you've been the catalyst for this team I think you know when you see that the quarterback is out there willing to win as you mentioned the Rams earlier when Baker Mayfield came in and kind of lit that spark like Taylor Heineken has been the spark for this team that they've needed. So you know I think I'm riding here with the commanders at minus four and a half. Yeah my numbers do show value in the Giants again I bet their money line should I have great question don't know. But my model hasn't been super high in the Giants most of this year. I just check back now and there have been three spots where it's only to bet the Giants one of those week one against the Titans they won that game outright I believe. And then the other one was against Washington in week number 13 where I got the push in the money line but did cover versus the spread so this hasn't been a spot where my numbers been super high on this Giants team. And I find that encouraging I guess because I think that there's actually like a lot of value here because my numbers have the commanders by point two one and the commanders by one point six one. So both models pretty high on the Giants here. It does make me nervous. You were talking about Rod Taylor I was sitting next to a Giants fan on Sunday watching that game after they benched Danny Downs because the game was like out of hand and try to tell him and I was like yeah he's got a two year contract could be interesting bridge quarterback.  But I don't like I don't want to like this Giants team. But I kind of do. Daniel Bellinger got in a limited practice on Wednesday seems like he should be good to play. I don't think Richie James will go with that concussion. But I don't know man it's it's hard to get a read in this game I kind of wish I had stayed away just because like I don't feel good about betting the Giants but like. I've done well on games that I didn't feel good about this year like back testing games or I was like I don't really want to bet this and like. They had good results so like I don't know man like I kind of wish I hadn't because I feel weird about this haven't gotten a lot of movement in my favor yet but like. I guess we're just in on Daniel Jones what could possibly go wrong right. This is a tough week for you Jim this is the most I've heard you say stay away back. Yeah hard as we've been talking. Well one of them is because RFUs. I'm very okay with the Gino bet I want to make that clear the Gino bet the Seahawks money line I'm okay with no sweat on that one. I can I can live with that one betting on Gino Smith. There was a lot different emotionally than betting on Daniel Jones. So I know it's weird to say but I don't know we'll see how it goes. Hopefully I don't know I don't know man I just just let it be over quick like if I'm going to lose let it be done quick so I can just check out for the rest Sunday night and go on from there but we'll see how that one plays out on Sunday night. Okay Ryan what else is he in a cross week 15 over a fan of sportsbook. Oh man. Jim I don't know if we can do it but I'm looking back at the Bucks again. You know we talk about teams just off of a loss and especially of a loss of this magnitude on the road now you're getting back at home. I mean I'm not going to say like emotions riding high because Tom Brady's from the Bay Area. Yeah like whatever and they have you know you talk about the eye test yes they have looked poorly. But you know at some point it's got to be crunch time. I mean you know the football gods have been doing whatever they want to do to keep the Buccaneers throughout this whole season. Everything that's gone wrong like they are still atop of their division in the NFC South just because of how bad that division is. So at some point maybe maybe we're able to ride the ship now if all things were in a perfect world like the Bengals getting three and a half here would be a slam dunk. But like is T Higgins going to be going. Tyler board left the game last week. Hayden Hurst still looks like he's not going to be able to play. So I mean yeah like it's going to be mixed in in Jamar Chase but also on the road and we know how tough it is to kind of run on this defense. I think that you know obviously San Fran was able to take them to the woodshed last week but I think that they'll get back into the get back to the drawing board and really be able to fix that. So because they're at home getting that three and a half that's what interests me. And there are a lot of injuries on the Bengals side still I know that T Higgins and Tyler Boyd were at practice yesterday. I think Tyler Boyd is almost a guarantee to sit and like if T Higgins plays like there's no guarantee he plays again like that's just like so annoying the way that worked. Both guys officially listed as limited for that practice yesterday as he said Hayden Hurst probably not going to play this week either so the Bengals a lot of injuries stacking up over there. The Bucks not going to get Tristan worse back most likely this week Vita Vaya also might sit but like I think that you're on the correct side here in terms of like what team is showing value I think that that you're right but like you said it's just like it's very tough to like actually click like submit that you know on this Bucks team. So I understand where you read is coming from on that one and you know what we're both we're both taking gross sides this week we have to embrace embrace the suck and see what happens embrace the suck. I love it. I love it. Yeah other than that you know just lines is getting better up and you know I get it because of the two teams who are playing but like Jerry Goff has been absolutely abysmal on the road on a road outside like this just feels like trouble for the line. It's just like games of stay away from me where it would usually be something that I'd be interested in. But the other game I wanted to touch on touch on was Cowboys Jaguars Cowboys going into Jacksonville Jacksonville has been they've been real and they showed me enough last week to make it feel like if they were able to put all the pieces together like let's let's get things going and you know for whatever it's worth like this Dallas offense has just been able to kind of cruise because the defense has been giving them you know so many opportunities to succeed and they've you know been heavy favorites over the past couple weeks so let's see what it's like in a close game on the road here the Cowboys are also dealing with injuries across the board especially on the defensive side of things so this is a fun one where I'm like where you know where can I watch this full game like even sacrifice red zone to be able to just see this game because it's just such a fun one that I think will have and I'm willing to get Cowboys on the or I'm willing to take Jacksonville points on this one. I talked about this Tuesday how I was considering the Jags Moneyline I finally gave in yesterday and did do it. Jags Moneyline has been good to me this year and I'm feeling it again so I love the Cowboys I think they're a very good football team respect them a lot think they're like legit as Super Bowl contenders but like Trevor Lawrence at plus 176 kind of into it so I think we're on the same side there rooting for the Jags once again for this week. That's all we got here for covering the spread for week number 15 we'll talk about player props tomorrow with JJ Zacharyson and World Cup as well but Ryan we're not going to talk to you for a couple weeks because you got to go do some fun stuff. So I want to wish you best of luck with all of that. Good luck with your bets if you're able to still find time to jam some in this time happy holidays to you and your family and hopefully we'll talk to you again. I mean not terribly to some future but good luck to all of you. Yeah absolutely Jim no need to bury the lead I'll be a dad here and a couple. I didn't know if you wanted to like dive all its personal info but I love it okay. It's all right just becoming a dad I think that's all that needs to be said. So yeah be fun one but yeah Christmas is coming early here for the Williams family so I appreciate the shout out Jim and yes I can't wait to go through all that and have the excitement and then hopefully come back for a little bit and then we can talk about it. We'll get into postseason and that'll be fun. So good luck to everybody this week and I'll catch you on the flip side sometime. Yeah and congrats in advance to both of you. Hope it all goes well let me know and we'll talk again once everything is more settled out there. Check out Ryan on Twitter at Ryan Alexander underscore W. I am on Twitter at Jim Sonnis J. I. M. S. A. N. N. E. S. Make sure once again you are subscribed to covering the spread wherever you get your podcast we'll talk to you once again tomorrow to break down player props and the World Cup final. This has been covering the spread right here on the fan dual podcast network.


I'll put it to you this way. I often get Muslims that come into my office and they want to get married. Maybe the brother is African American, the sister is Pakistani. And she's telling me, this isn't gonna go over well with my parents and this, that, and the third. And I always understand why it probably isn't. I get that. People that are deeply invested in cultural continuity, they want to see their children marry people that are like them, right? I mean, whenever I think about my daughters getting married, I think about them bringing home somebody like me.   I'll say, what about brother Malik? He's a nice guy. I like him. We play basketball on Saturday mornings. He has good edge, I can understand that. But here's the difference. If it's based on like just a desire for cultural continuity, that's one thing. I get that. That's something we all experience as parents. However, if it's based on some unsubstantiated, toxic view that I have of Indian-ness or blackness that has to be challenged. If it's like, well, he's black, he's probably going to beat you. He's black, he's probably not gainfully employed. He's black, he doesn't know anything about the religion. He's black, that, when those things, and I think I'm using that example, because it's very easy to distinguish one to misunderstand one to be the other. If somebody's just like, you know, I'm more comfortable with culture that is familiar to me. I don't think we should criminalize that. I don't think that's a criminal thing. I mean, you probably couldn't tell, but I'm much more comfortable with culture that's familiar to me. But I hope that I don't have any toxic, over-generalized views about anybody. Because when you have those views, it degrades encounter. Meaning you're not even able to assess the person in front of you because you have all of these false, toxic, preconceived notions about what they're supposed to be, right? So whenever you see that, you have to catch yourself, hold yourself accountable first. And when we see it in our families, we see it in our institutions, we see it in our organizations, we have to be willing to hold them accountable as well.


eight points in four games. He already has three twenty point games and looks like he's well on his way to number four. Nice bounce pass inside for Bowman. Rejected by Wesley. Good ball movement here. Jones for three. Wow. Davon Jones.


Hello everyone, today we are going to discuss AWS Cloud Computing and how to create your account on AWS. I am Mr. Venkatesh Bhingi working as an assistant professor in the CSE department of Vulture Instruct Technology, SolarPort. After going through this video, you will be able to create your own AWS account and also able to explain various cloud providers. So let's start. So before starting the account creation of AWS, we discussed what exactly cloud computing is. Cloud computing is the on-demand delivery of compute, power, database storage, applications and other IT resources through a cloud service platform via internet with pay-as-you-go pricing. Cloud computing provides a simple way to access servers, storage, database and a broad set of application services over the internet. A cloud service platform such as Amazon Web Services owns and maintains a network connected hardware required for the application services while you provision and use what you need via a web application. So basically cloud computing is accessing the services on the server through internet and you need to pay for the same. So let us discuss the different types of cloud computing. First public cloud. Public clouds are owned and operated by third-party cloud service providers which deliver their computing resources like server and storage over the internet. The best example of public cloud is Amazon and Microsoft Azure. The second type of cloud computing is private cloud. A private cloud refers to cloud computing resources used exclusively by single business or organization. A private cloud can be physically located on the company's on-site data center. So basically private clouds are owned by the organizations and it is suitable for big organizations like Microsoft, Cisco, Infosys. For them it is affordable and usable. The third type of cloud computing is hybrid cloud. Hybrid cloud combines public and private cloud bound together by technology that allows data and application to be shared between them. Hybrid cloud gives you business greater flexibility and more deployment options. So basically it is a combination of above two cloud computing. So you can get the advantage of public as well as private cloud in the form of hybrid cloud computing. So these are three different types of cloud computing. Next top benefit of cloud computing. The first benefit of cloud computing is the cost. For example, suppose you want to use Microsoft Office for 2-3 days. So in order to use that you need to purchase the license copy of Microsoft Office. If you are using cloud computing you don't need to purchase it. You can use it for the time being for 2-3 days. But depending upon your requirement you can use software, you can use platform, you can use any service on internet through cloud computing. So the cost involved for cloud computing is very less and the speed. As you know the day by day the speed of internet is getting faster and the cloud is available through internet so their services are also becoming faster. And the resources which are required for providing cloud services they are also using high end configuration boxes. Because of that this services, the application services all are available at very fast speed. The next advantage is performance. The biggest advantage of cloud computing is the performance. According to your requirement you can get high performance servers from cloud providers for time being depending upon your requirement. Fourth is global scale. This is one of the biggest advantage of cloud computing. Here according to your requirement you can increase the capacity of your servers and if it is not required you can decrease the capacity of servers. For example the best example of global scale is Flipkart. Flipkart uses cloud computing with global scale as an advantage whenever they want to offer something during peak period. That time they extend their hardware capacity by using this feature for 2-3 days after that again they decrease their capacity. So here the advantage for the Flipkart is they don't need to purchase entire hardware for 2-3 days. So that is the biggest advantage of cloud computing. Next is security. Security within the organization. Providing security within the organization is one of the challenging task. If you give that security managing part to the companies like AWS and Microsoft they have better infrastructure and they have better resources to secure your data as well as applications and services. So the data which is there on cloud is more secure as compared to the data which is there in your traditional computer. These are the benefits of cloud computing. And next cloud computing service providers. So there are many organizations who are providing cloud computing services. The top 10 and next few more are here. Amazon Web Services is one of the biggest cloud computing service provider. Next Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform, Next Adobe, VMware, IBM Cloud, RagnSpace, Red Hat, Salesforce, Oracle Cloud, SAP, Verizon Cloud, Dropbox. So these are some top organizations which are providing cloud computing services. Among these Amazon Web Services has one biggest market share in the cloud computing domain. After that Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform. The remaining organizations according to their requirement they also provide cloud computing services and they have also their different services. Next creating account on AWS cloud computing. So you need to click on this link. This is AWS portal link. Once you click on this link you will go to this page. So here you can create your own AWS account. In order to create your own AWS account you need email address and you enter email address then you enter complex password and you give AWS account name. I give as a VA Bingy123 then you say continue. So once you enter this you will get an verification code to your account. So you open your email address here you will get your account verification code. Once you click on it again you will go to the same page and you say sign in to existing AWS account. So here you enter your credentials which you entered previously next enter your password sign in. So once you sign in you can see this AWS management console. Now here you can see your account this is your account ID, this is your account name and this is your password and these are the contact details of the account owner and these are the sum of the alternate contact numbers which is not mandatory and here you can secure your security settings and this is one more IMM user and rose access to billing information and this is one more account contact information. So like this you can set up or configure your personal account. So this on home page you can see the services. So this is how you can create your AWS account. Now you pause this video and answer these questions. Do you need credit card or debit card to create AWS account? Second question which company is market leader in cloud computing? Pause this video for some time and answer the question. Yes you need credit or debit card to create AWS account and Amazon AWS public us is the biggest market leader in cloud computing after that Microsoft, Google and IBM. These are the references.


SNES DRUNK! Ever since I made that Mammoth Super Nintendo Super Famicom shoot-em-up video, I've been on the lookout for other shoot-em-ups in hard-to-find places, and I think I found a really good one in Sagaia, or Sagaia. Bear with me because I'm not sure I'm pronouncing that correctly. Anyway, Sagaia is an original Game Boy release that only came out in Japan. It's actually a port of Darius II for Sega Genesis, one of the all-time shoot-em-up classics of the 16-bit era.  A couple of the levels and bosses are in a different order, so it's not a direct port of the game, but it's still great. Make no mistake, this is a Darius game through and through. And rather than haphazardly shove the Genesis version onto the Game Boy hardware, like what happened with games like Populous, Lemmings, or Mortal Kombat, they refit Darius II around the limited hardware here, and as a result, this game really feels complete and fully realized. The gameplay is smooth and responsive, the balance of speed here is excellent, the pacing can be a bit on the slow side, but it has some crazy variables here and there. The graphics are as crisp and as clear as you could hope for for an original Game Boy release. The bosses in particular are downright awe-inspiring. I can't believe I'm saying that when I'm talking about a Game Boy game, but damn, that really looks awesome, not to mention intimidating. Really, if you're like me and you were disappointed in the Super Nintendo Darius games, Darius Twin and Super Nova, you're not gonna be disappointed in Segaia. Not only are the graphics and gameplay impressive, but the music gets better the further you get into the game. It starts out as you'd expect, frenzied and frenetic, to match the gameplay, but then you get to the underwater level and things kind of calm down, and by then you're in a shoot-em-up trance, so to speak, and it's just perfectly done. I love how the game is structured that way.  It seems like there are barely any shoot-em-ups on there, and Segaia deserves to be checked out by a larger audience. Right now the game goes for close to $50 on eBay, yikes. But yeah, the Darius games on Super Nintendo were a letdown, but Segaia for Game Boy makes up for those games quite a bit.


Good morning John. At VidCon Australia, Ashley Perez gave a talk and when she talked about the allegory that she read on the internet that was written by a guy who was told the allegory by a teacher. It's been around. I liked it. It resonated with me. I'm gonna call it the allegory of the perfect pot. A pottery teacher divides her class into two groups for the full semester. I don't know why she does it. She's, she's wild. She does one group. You are tasked with making one pot. You have to only make one pot and it has to be the perfect pot and at the end of the semester we're going to enter it into a pot competition. In the other group she says you are tasked with making as many unique pots as possible. I don't care how good they are. She's wild. The semester begins and the first group they're they're start working on planning and research and design and what is a perfect pot? And the other group is already like 16 minutes in covered head to toe at Goop and it all culminates at the end of the semester when we find that the group of people who just made lots of pots actually made better pots than the one pot that everybody worked really hard on forever and it was just one pot because John it doesn't matter how good you are at something your first pot's gonna suck and it doesn't matter how much you suck your thousandth pot is gonna be pretty good. This is more or less the philosophy I have created under for the last 11 years and it has worked pretty well. I make a pot. I present it for judgment. I receive feedback. I use that feedback to make another pot which I present and receive feedback. I use that feedback to make another pot which I then present and then people give me feedback on the pot and then I use that feedback to make another pot and I have made a lot of videos. In information security there's a term called brute force hacking. That's where you just like you hit a system with so many iterations of various passwords that eventually you just find a password that works. It's not elegant. It's not planned. It's not careful. It's just brute force. I am a brute force creator and it's the only way I know how to do it and you can't do that with a book. You can't write a hundred books and throw away the first 99. I will say that these hundreds of vlogbrothers videos I have made were a good writing apprenticeship. I wrote a lot of creative nonfiction and this book in a way is a nonfiction book written by a fictional character but nothing prepared me for the process of sitting for half a decade with the same lump of clay. Turning it into a pot, hating it, punching it until it was just a lump of clay again, turning it into a pot, being like that's disappointing, punching it, then turning it into a pot and then thinking I did it. Look my pot. And then I called the professor in in the form of my agent and my editor, my sensitivity readers and my friends and my family and they were like actually let's let's punch this thing a few more times.  And then at the end I had what I think and what other people seem to mostly think is a pretty good pot. It's a very different process. That wasn't just like a hard process for me. It felt wrong. I, even though I had never heard the allegory of the perfect pot, I believed in it and I have done things that way for so long that that doing that doing the thing the very thing that the allegory says you shouldn't do. It seemed wrong. But I felt like I had to because I felt like this was the only way that I was going to be able to tell the story and talk about the stuff that I wanted to talk about. And I did it and I'm happy. John, I will see you on Monday because we need to prep for our very weird stage show slash book tour thing that we're doing that I'm very excited about. And then everyone else will see you on Tuesday, the day that my book comes out. I hope you like my pot.
