season here what or you know some of the priorities for Terry you know getting ready for the draft first question for Terry on the offseason priorities for the franchise. Well we're gonna take a take a few days here to separate from the emotions of where we are right now and and we'll get back in the building and obviously we'll have a collaborative effort and sitting down with author and the staff and the coaches and the scouts and evaluating the season and every single player and that'll be the beginning of whether players under contract or not under contract that's the start we evaluate every player and how we want to proceed each player and and then we start to formulate that offseason plan so we need to just separate a little bit and so we can come in and with fresh eyes and be objective and evaluate every single aspect of this year. And for coach how will your offseason evaluations of the season go have the coaches started on those and you know where are you all at with the the evaluation process of 2021 season? Yeah D-Led yeah that's kind of standard operating procedure we will after anything any thing we've done here you I think the smart thing is to go back and look at it what can we do better there's certainly that'll be every year whether you won the Super Bowl or not I think you've got to be objective and see where you can evolve and adapt it can never stay the same it just can't and we feel like we've got a great foundation here D-Led and you know we got a bright future and we'll look at every single thing we've done and see what we can do better. Michael? Hey y'all thanks for you froze up on us Mike. Mike you're frozen. Torrey we'll roll you real quick till we get Michael back. Yeah that sounds good. Just kind of I guess I'll start off this question for Terry. Salary cap rising in 2022 how do you kind of feel like this organization do you feel like this organization is in a better spot in 2022 because of that and how do you foresee that kind of shaping out the offseason for you guys? Well yeah we're in a better spot because the cap did increase this year that was one of the big challenges last year because of the cap going down so much and we already had challenges prior to that but this offseason the cap did increase and yet there still are challenges here for the next couple years but again we have to look at every contract every player whether they're under contract or not and make the best decision for this team moving forward. And then this question is kind of for both of you guys big picture what do you think is the difference between how you feel like this organization operates cohesively this offseason in comparison to where you were at this point last year both of you guys just coming in here? Well I think everybody's more familiar with each other certainly the second time around if you've done your due diligence and your process is good it should go smoother. It's just because there's so many things to do here one as you're getting you know you start and hit the ground running it should be a lot easier this time because you kind of understand how everybody operates and there's some things we want to do better and then what we did last time and it just you're just more familiar it's like any relationship you feel like you know everybody better. Michael you're muted Michael. Sorry about that. Sorry about the internet is apparently bad. Yeah so Terry I was going to ask this that last year you were talking about some of the cap constraints that you guys were working with how do you manage the cap this year you think versus what you had to do a season ago? Well again still some some constraints but we just have to look at look at every player and in every contract and just do the best job we can we know we have to bring in competition and continue to work to improve this offseason so they're going to be challenges every year with the cap but we just have to make the right decisions and the players we bring in make sure we have clear visions for them and and do the best job we can. And for Arthur you talked about Dez Kitchens last week is that the only anticipated staff change that you're going to have or do you anticipate more changes? Well it's hard to predict the future Michael there's a lot of moving parts I think you know we'll take our time before we fill the running back job you know we want to talk to a lot of people there's a lot of movement going on and so right now that's the only only movement we've had but you just can't predict the future because there's a ripple effect and I don't know who gets what job and so we'll see but we'll take our time make sure it's the right person that we bring in here. Home team? We can't hear you Brandon. Josh? This one's for you do you have a how will you handle a Calvin Ridley situation going forward in terms of when you feel like you need to know something has there been any communication thus far what's your expectation for kind of how it walks out? Well it really hasn't changed and we've as an organization we've done the best job we could to just support Calvin and do everything we can for him and I know he made the statement when he did and we made a statement during the season as well and really up to this point nothing changed with that. Do you expect him to be on your roster in 2022 or is it too early to tell to say at this point? Well it's look we have a roster for a lot of players you can go down and ask that about every single player and we obviously we're not gonna answer those questions but again regarding him specifically nothing changed we just continue to support him. Thank you. Home team? Try it again. Still no audio Brandon. D-Led go to your follow-up. Okay yeah what's the plan to fix the lines and the trenches are are offensively and defensively a lot of sacks weren't able to run the ball and defensively our last in league in sacks. Well you know I love the loaded question D-Led but like the whole team we got to improve. I think that's again statistics however you want to manipulate them those are easy those are the low hanging fruit doesn't tell a story the whole season doesn't tell a story you know I you know necessarily how you win games like I said before you know we went seven and two and one possession games we got to close the gap in the other game we got to continue to improve and there's a lot of ways you can fix it D-Led obviously down the end of the year we need more shots on goal I think when you get in the game and you don't have the ball very long and a lot of it was self-inflicted but when you average five yards a carry to make it as grand indictment on the run game I think that's a little bit at the at the surface level there we need to be better all around so there's a multiple ways you can improve the fronts we got to improve this whole team you know as we climb I mean the goal here is to sustain sustain success and to win championships that's not your objective and you're just playing survivor and trying to manipulate narratives and stat path but that's not what we're trying to do we're trying to build a championship level team roster and that's our objective what do I make of it being 30th in the league then I mean I got to look at you know evaluate some of that D-Led you're kind of missing the point okay yeah help me out then I'm trying to do is you're trying to win games correct and so if you sit there we need to be better we need more plays offensively so we need to extend drives we need to get off the field and third down and like I said we need to close the gaps in those games that we lost but that's clear and there's multiple ways to do that but like I said as I said when you we I think we're 31st and offensive plays run and that's a team issue and and that's what we'll do I mean there's everywhere you got to get better I mean if you if you win two games and you finish fifth and passing or you pack yourself in the back no we clearly we're going to continue to improve but it doesn't tell the whole story there was times where it gets really good defensive random ball well we we need to do a better job sustaining drives getting into the red zone and scoring more points to the other team it's pretty pretty practical and we got to close the gap in those other games all right thanks coach thank you mayor um hey guys this question is for is for um um skid me I'm I'm sorry to worry yeah I want to kind of stay on the topic of what D led was talking about uh Dean was speaking to us last week on the need to develop a pass rush and he spoke specifically through the lens of talent acquisition and talent development so my question for Terry is when it comes to the acquisition part of that what is the blueprint of what y'all are looking for yeah well we're always looking for pressure players you're always looking for cover corners um like author said it's a complementary game and so as we improve the roster and bring in competition at every position that's going to help when you're playing with leads obviously you have more opportunities to rush and um it's a complementary game so we have to improve the entire roster but we're going to look at at every avenue to uh to bring in competition whether we're talking about uh free agency the draft after the draft we're going to work hard to bring in players to compete in one more for you too I I know this roster turnover was something that we talked about earlier in the year and kind of how this roster was going to change a lot and um I was just kind of curious how you feel like the front office did providing players in season to to kind of be slotted in to the to this active roster I kind of think of guys like anthony rush james spotters I was just kind of curious your thoughts on that and kind of how important that process will continue to be moving forward yeah Tori I appreciate that question and it's really twofold I think the the personnel department did a really good job the the pro department and um and bring it in players but then the coaching staff into developing those players getting them up to speed and implementing them and having the confidence to play um and because those players uh some of the players you mentioned and some other players helped us uh in all offense defense special team so being able to bring in players during the season the the coaching staff and the scouting staff I think they did a really good job with that and we're going to have to continue to do that and finding players however we can and Tori that's why it's such a collaborative effort and I've said it before and I'll say it again and the way we operate here um I think you know the easy thing to do is and if you've seen this done a lot in this league is you bring a player in you know and everybody wants credit for it or um you know you win a game and and you want to get out in front of the parade it's there's so much work that goes in and and you've got to be in sync because they those guys the personnel department they do a terrific job of trying to sort through the roster to see who is available in the spring and then it's our job to make sure we have a vision for them and they gotta and you gotta play them I mean you can't sit there and say one thing you bring a guy in and then you don't play them and then you know so it's gotta go both ways and that's why it's such a collaborative effort you have to have a vision you have to be in sync uh so nobody's looking at here to jump in front of the parade because everything discussions we have daily Terry and I and our staffs it's about the vision of building this roster to get to a championship level and to operate that way to to win championships and that's what we feel we're on the right path Michael had a follow-up yeah Terry this is for you again when it comes to kind of decisions that might need to be made down the road on some of your own guys whether it's Cordero or Foyer or Youngway how much do you weigh maybe their familiarity now and what their price points might be versus kind of that cap situation that we were talking about before like what where does that balance for you in building this well you go through that process again it starts with meeting with the coaches and determining who you do want to proceed with and and that's the beginning of it and then we go through the process of looking at their market value and it does make a difference when a player is in your building and ideally the best form of free agency is is developing and signing your own players players that because you're not guessing we know exactly who they are in the building and so that's important so ideally when it's players in your building those are players you want to invest in but there are a lot of variables and you want to look at the market value and making sure you're making the right decisions but when you can do that when you can reward your players in your building that's something that we want to do and this is I guess for both of you I know Arthur I asked about Matt after the game and you said you know after the game you didn't want to be penned into a corner with a couple more days I mean where do you guys stand as far as Matt being your quarterback going forward? It would be the same answer I gave you Sunday the same answer I gave you in March or in April I mean according to that we're always evaluating our roster I mean to sit there and back yourself in the corner and say that you know make some grand statement that we'll never ever do this or that I mean that's not being objective and not trying to improve the roster same thing you know with Kyle Pitts or Jake Matthews or Grady Jarrett I mean you can go down on down the list there's not going to be no state of union because it's a constant evolution you got to look at it and you never want to pass up an opportunity to improve your football team so I understand you know the headline you're seeking and what you're and you got to ask the question but the answer hasn't changed. Home team give another shot yeah we're still not getting audio or it's like Charles. Terry I appreciate you doing this it's never too early to look ahead to the draft and I wondered if you could give a little insight as to you and your team and how you how soon do you start putting together a draft board and at number eight do you feel like this is going to be a year where you go for best available regardless of regardless of position? Yeah man I appreciate you and yeah we've been we've really had a draft board it's really ongoing and you have a draft board at the beginning of the season and it changes as more grades come in and as players declare or whatever happened so that it's really a fluid thing we've had around the meetings we have meetings the next set of meetings are in February so it's an ongoing process and I think we've kind of talked about that draft process in that we always want to be a team that doesn't reach for needs and we go into the draft with needs and you know you want to feel those needs but you always want to take the best player on the board and not reach for for something and I think we think that's how you make mistakes so it's an ongoing process the the college staff has been grinding all year and now's the point where the coaches are going to get involved in that process it's going to be a collaborative effort to make sure we bring in the best players we can. And if I can follow up on Josh's question to you about Calvin and I understand you guys have been diligent and being sensitive to his needs but of course you've got to be protective of the team's needs as well and so when you say nothing has changed as you're looking at your team needs do you have to assume that he is not available to you for 2022? Well no I wouldn't assume anything like I said we handle each situation individually there are so many variables we deal with we're going to try to add to every position this offseason so whatever player we're talking about whether under contract not under contract we have to be prepared for everything. Mark Bradley? Yes thank you this is for Mr. Fontenot. Would you say that 7 and 10 is an accurate reflection of where your team was or do you think that that record was flattering or that you were actually better than 7 and 10? Well it's funny because I read something at some point that said talk about the point differential and how many games we should have won and I think that says a lot about our team that would I really appreciate about our would author has built here the coaching staff the players that I do believe we're building a winning culture we're not where we need to be we don't want to be having this press conference right now we want to be preparing for a playoff game so we're not happy that we're not playing right now that's going to be our charge moving forward but I really believe everything that our head coach preaches about the culture and having a winning culture and being a smart tough competitive team and you look at any game you can look in the fourth quarter where the game can be out of hand and we have players flying around competing those players were bought in those guys in the locker room love each other that they love the coaches and they really went out and competed so there's probably some statistics that can tell you how good we were as a team and how many games we should have won but I believe we're moving in the right direction and we're building that winning culture and that's a credit again to our the staff and the players thank you thank you Chris room yeah hey Terry and either as y'all head into year two how would you both of you define success in this next year when you're sitting here in next you know next year when January forever whatever it is how would you define success for for year two for y'all for me it's pretty simple I mean we'll be better than we are right now and hopefully like Terry just said we're not having this press conference this time of the year it's later in the year um so and that's the ultimate objective I mean for me that's pretty clear cut we continue to improve one more games next year continue to get better like I said for our ultimate goal you've got to be the one of championship not playing survivor every year sorry for you yeah I agree it's about without looking at scores in the game or records it's about continued development and continued improvement and again that's something we saw throughout the year continued development continued improvement we'll see that in the off season it's about developing and getting better and that's our goal that's our challenge to continue to get better I guess to follow up with that then so in year one what were some of the challenges that you face this season that you've learned from that you'll apply in in year two for me or Terry for both of y'all sorry about that well I mean I think you know anytime you go through something the first time there's always the unknowns you try to prepare yourself to go back and look at the last year almost 365 days now there's a lot of things that are going on it's been a big time transition year we did through everything we had to compete to win to change the mindset thought we made some pretty good drives obviously we got we got a lot that we need to build on and improve but it was a it was a great challenge and going through it you certainly your lessons learned all the time Chris and I think here if you stop learning you stop growing you might as well get out of this thing yeah and one of the the biggest challenges for me this year I would say when you come into a new building when you've been somewhere for a long time you have relationships with everyone in the building we kind of touched on this earlier and and you're able to build those relationships and that makes the communication smooth and and yet here with with the COVID restrictions with a lot of new people you weren't able to build all those relationships as quickly as you'd like to and that does affect things and yet I'm excited about going into this next year where we have built more relationships hopefully we won't have all the restrictions that we have going into this offseason and we can continue to communicate in the right way and so I'm excited about going into this year and and having not having all those restrictions that we had last year deal it will go your follow-up yeah I'm do I'm since the season's over can we get an update on Matt Ganell and if he's on track to be back next year or or what's his status well he's he's a free agent um and and Matt obviously we expected Matt to come back at some point in the year with that injury that's why we um handled the transaction the way we did and that didn't work out so um but um but he's he's not um he's he said to be a ufa that's right that's um Michael yeah terry I want to kind of get back something you hit on a little earlier but when you were constructing this roster when you look at how this season went where where do you think was the biggest I don't know miscue that you made when you were building this thing considering what you had had to work with miscue um I don't know we had a specific plan in in building the roster and we wanted to structure it a certain way and we obviously had a lot of one-year contracts this offseason that was part of that was because of where the cap was and then we wanted to bring in we brought in a lot of veterans this year that that that really helped this team whether they're going to be here next year or not that it's going to build dividends moving forward I felt like this is a really close group and um and and they really we have young guys we have veterans and so we love the way we constructed the roster this year we've said it already we're not we don't want to be having this press conference right now we want to be preparing for a playoff game so we're going to bring in competition and continue to improve um so I wouldn't say miscue we had a plan last year and we implemented that plan we'll have one this offseason and we'll implement that and also when it comes to the pass rush specifically what did you like out of a pass rusher uh what do I like out of a past what did you say Dean said in his press conference the other day about pass rushers and he said something like it's um you're not coaching it they just figure out what he gets to the quarterback there are pressure players whether it's a it can be an it can be an end it can be a defensive tackle a linebacker a safety um they just figure out a way to get to the quarterback they're pressure players so um that there's different ways that they do it there's different guys and different ways they do it um but you're just looking for pressure players thanks I appreciate it guys yes sir thank you Tori yeah I just have one more for Terry um I was really hoping to kind of get your evaluation of this rookie class um how did their development in year one match the vision for I guess what you guys had for them when you picked them last year well they played a lot uh you look at it was Thompson league in terms of the amount of snaps our rookies the amount of games they were active for and the amount of snaps they played not just on offense or defense but also in the kicking game they contributed a lot and that was our plan for them to come in and contribute and and grow and develop and obviously rookies are going to you're going to take lumps and it's not going to be perfect there's going to be ups and downs what I love about this rookie class is the mindset of the group I believe we have competitive guys that fight and compete and and it's going to be a challenge for them to continue to develop even into this offseason develop and get better coming into this next year so we appreciate the fight that we got from that group we believe they're why are the right way josh this may be somewhat hypothetical so forgive me but if you bring Matt back do you feel like you have to do something different with the contract just from that cap number or is could you do it either way in your mind would them could you make the math work one way or the other we're not going to speculate on on anything regarding contracts we're not going to go there a couple of random ones Isaiah Oliver how is his rehab going does that complicate your decision on what you do there at all without talking about because we have a number of players on ir that are free agents so I don't want to start the talking about every single player but without talking about that we make those decisions we'll look at we're aware of where all our players that are going through the ir process are and some of them you'll wait into a certain period to sign them and some of them if you feel good about it that we can sign them so that wouldn't restrict a player being injured wouldn't restrict us from extending them but I don't want to talk specifically about any players right now and Arthur one Jalen Hawkins didn't play much Sunday was he still recovering I know he'd been on the COVID list was that some conditioning stuff or was that a performance issue no it wasn't a performance issue obviously you know let's always say it's not one size fits all and everybody was dealing with different things and and so it's where we felt he was at coming back from it and that's why he played the amount of plays he did thanks there I guess that's all the question requests we have so appreciate you guys joining us today thank you thank you guys


Hi, I'm Khalid Raymond. I'm here with Matt Dickinson and we're about to answer some questions for Ask the Titans.  Yeah, let's go, man. Okay. Let's go. Hi, I'm ever glad to help. And I have a lot of questions for you. But I'm just going to ask one. What's your favorite touchdown celebration? For me, I like to celebrate with the team. I think at the score you turn around and you see their other 10 guys are in on a play, like running over to you. That's like the biggest thing for me. So I just like celebrate with the guys because that's a pretty cool experience. Hi, I'm Abby. Hi, I'm Rhys. Hi, I'm Nina. What do you like to eat before football game? I love Popeyes. I love eating Popeyes before a game. There's a long snapper, an exactiossi, that played for the Giants and he would always make these custom Oreo milkshakes. I had one and I had like a good game. So every game since that game, I always eat ice cream to not go for a game. With some like Oreo toppings or some currant milk or anything. Hi, I'm Abby. And I like that my stuff is, what's your favorite cartoon? You gotta say Spongebob. Spongebob, my favorite cartoon and yes, damn. Have you always liked football or did you like a different sport growing up? Growing up, I play football with my favorite sport all the time is actually wrestling. Just because you learn so much about yourself and then like what you can take, which you can grow from, like how far you can actually go when it comes out to eat and not eat. For me, basketball is my first love. I had a little friend, just a kid. Didn't start playing football till freshman year of high school and then fell in love with it. Hi, my name is Jovi Matheson. I wanted to know how has the coronavirus affected your training for the upcoming season? I think the hardest part is you don't get to come back in and see all the fellas, your teammates and everything. For working out and stuff, you kind of got to do a lot of homework out. So it's definitely different, but I think as professionals, you have to learn to adapt and know what comes. Hello, my name is Trent Kennedy. I just graduated from Eastern Prep Middle School. I'm a freshman at National Big Picture and my question is, what advice do you have for young black men who are facing this time in our country right now? Keep having conversations with your friends, your family. Now's the time to stick together as a community and keep on spreading love. Keep thinking positive, keep moving forward and hope for a better future.   You create your own labels.  So as you go through, as you learn, you grow, you experience. If you know who you are, nobody else can affect you unless you allow them to.  You can't do it by yourself, so definitely do that.


وَأَقُولُوا فِي القُرْآنِ مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ اَيَاتُوهُ فَهُوَ الْكَارِيمُ الْمُنْزَالُوْ وَأَقُولُوا قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُوْهُ وَالْمُصْطَافَ الْهَاديِ وَلَا أَتْ أَوَّالُوْ الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على أبد الله ورسوله نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته كل محاولة هو بسبب الله عز وجل ألون نسأل الله عز وجل لأجل المجموعة ومجموعة ومسجر محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم لأجهزة عائلته وأجهزة عائلته نحن نتحدث عن تربية نتواجه نتواجه نتواجه عائلتنا في حالة عباداته حالة إيمانه وعباده وحالة عباداته وفي حالة عباده وفي حالة عبادة تربية في الإسلام now instead of going through definitions and examples and things like that of تربية from just from the books of the scholars and so on I thought it would be really beneficial if we were to go through some examples of تربية from the Quran and perhaps the most prominent example that comes to mind is the advice of Luqman to his son and Luqman he was a wise man scholars differed over over that what who exactly Luqman was but it said that he was a wise man that used to he used to teach the people good before the prophet of his time came and when the prophet of his time came he stepped back and he gave that position to that particular prophet but in any case that is said to be the stronger opinion that he wasn't a prophet but that he was a wise man that was given wisdom by Allah and Allah mentioned his example in Surah Luqman and we're going to start from ayah number 12 in which Allah said وَلَقَادَ أَا تَيْنَا لُقْمَانَ الْحِكْمَتَ أنِشْكُرْ لِلَّهَ وَمَنْ يَشْكُرْ فَإِنَّ مَا يَشْكُرُنِ نَفْسِهِ وَمَنْ كَافَرَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَانِيُنْ حَمِيدِ we certainly gave Luqman wisdom Luqman he's known by this since Allah said this about him he's known as Luqman al-Hakeem Luqman the wise he was given wisdom from Allah أنِشْكُرْ لِلَّهَ to be grateful to Allah and if you notice what we are told about Luqman all of the things that we are told about Luqman are all things about the way that he advised his son and the tarbiyah that he had for his son and perhaps this is one of the ways that Luqman showed his gratitude to Allah perhaps we can take this as a benefit and Allah knows best that the gratitude that Luqman showed to Allah from that gratitude was that he showed gratitude to Allah for his son and that he taught his son and he gave the right tarbiyah to his son and this is an example of the gratitude that Luqman had towards Allah and whoever shows gratitude they only show gratitude to the benefit of themselves it's yourself if you're grateful to Allah you don't benefit Allah Allah doesn't need your gratitude but if you're grateful to Allah then you benefit you are the one who benefits from it and whoever is ungrateful then Allah is غني ين حميد Allah is free of all need and worthy of all praise so Allah doesn't need the worship of his servants but when they worship Allah that's what Allah deserves and that's what brings them good and then we're told about the advice of Luqman and when Luqman said to his son while he was admonishing him all my son do not make a partner with Allah indeed making a partner with Allah is a great oppression here we begin with the advice of Luqman to his son and the admonishment that Luqman gave to his son and from there are their entire articles books and even chapters that are written just on the advice of Luqman to his son and the role and the value of it in nurturing and educating our children the first thing is that Luqman took it upon himself to give advice to his son to give him the knowledge and the information that he would need to prepare him going forward in his life and that admonishment that he gave him that that that speech and he gave him that advice and he said those words to him that shows that he took his responsibility as a parent and he took the importance of a طربية the importance of nurturing his son and he gave him those words of advice that until this day we hold them to be among the most valuable of all of the advice that has been given on the topic of طربية and Allah سبحانه وتعالى preserved that advice for us in the Quran and he said to his son يا بونية and this is from the the etiquettes of طربية that he said all my son and بونية it's a it's a sweet way of addressing your child because you can say يا والدي or my son or my child يا ابني you can say like without it being so sweet and soft but he said يا بونية all my son in a gentle and soft way بونية is a gentle and soft way of saying it so he spoke to him softly وهو يعظو he's reminding him and he's giving him important words and he'll have to take on board and implement but he speaks to him softly and gently يا بونية and that's how طربية should be طربية should be with رفق and lean and we're going to come to this later on it could be with softness and gentleness to begin with at least in the initial the default position should be softness and gentleness يا بونية لا تشرك بالله or my son do not be the son by teaching him you know the alphabet by teaching him the you know mathematics or by teaching him how to make money in the dunya what did he start his advice with or my son do not make a partner with Allah because ultimately that is what really matters that's what that's what counts يوم القيام that's what's going to be the difference between your children are going to go being جنة or now the difference is going to be whether you made a partner with Allah so it doesn't matter whether your child is rich or poor it doesn't matter whether your child gets a good job or not it doesn't matter whether your child is quote unquote educated or quote unquote uneducated none of that determines their جنة and then are what determines that he didn't start with even any of the other sins either he started with the greatest sin he didn't start with any of the other sins he didn't start with or my son don't commit immorality or my son don't lie or my son he started with the most important the most important or my son if you if there is just one sin that you avoid that we can give to our children so how sad is it and how it's just their own words to describe how sad it is to see parents that they give their children everything but they don't give them this they give their children education they give their children a beautiful place to live they give their children money and they give them happiness in terms of the worldly life but they never ever teach their children يا بوني لا تشرك بالله or my son إن الشركة لظلم عظيم because making a partner with Allah is the greatest example of ظلم and ظلم is in in the linguistic sense it is وضع شي في غير موضع putting something where it doesn't belong and there is no greater example of putting something where it doesn't belong than the example of giving some of the rights of Allah to someone or something else any of the rights of Allah whether that's the right of Allah as it relates to worship whether that's the right of Allah as it relates to His names and attributes or His Lordship whether it's the right of Allah as it relates to our actions towards Allah or whether it's the right of Allah as it relates to Allah's actions towards us ultimately we don't give the right of Allah ازواجل to anyone or anything else because that is the greatest example of putting something in the wrong place putting something where it doesn't belong إن الشركة لظلم عظيم and we can also take from this that he gave he explained the concept to his son he gave the the reason and the concept and he didn't just say to him يا بونية لا تشرك بالله full stop oh my son don't make a partner with Allah and then move on he explained to him and he gave more of a reason to understand إن الشركة لظلم عظيم because making a partner with Allah is the greatest oppression that a person can do is the greatest oppression there is no oppression greater than that so he started and this is a principle in طربيه that you start with إن الشركة لظلم عظيم you start with the most important thing and then you look at the next things we're not going to say it's not important to give your children an education we're not going to say it's not important to look after your children's manners and the way they deal with other people or to look at you know to look at them having a comfortable childhood environment to grow up in all of these things have their place but don't neglect the most important thing يا بني لا تشرك بالله إن الشركة لظلم عظيم oh my son don't make a partner with Allah making a partner with Allah is the worst kind of oppression and then الله عزوجل mentioned the rights of the parents والصين الإنسان بوالدي حملته أمه وهنن على وهن وفي صاله في عامين أنشكر لي كأيلية المصير وإن أمه في بوك إن this is like an aside it's like the words of لكماان and then that there is a break here in the ayat where Allah عزوجل speaks about the rights of the parents I found that some of the scholars of Islam when they spoke about this advice of لكماان they included this within the advice that this is the advice to be good to your parents and the importance of fulfilling the rights of the parents and this is something we're going to talk about extensively when we come to the section on the rights of the parents and the obligations of the children towards their parents but the ayat as so we can complete the ayat and give them in the complete form and we have commanded mankind with regard to his parents to be good to his parents his mother carried him in weakness upon weakness and hardship upon hardship his weaning took place over two years that that child might show gratitude to Allah and to his parents وَالِوَالِيْدَيْكَ أَنِشْكُرْ لِوَالِيْوَالِيْدَيْكَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرَ that you show thanks to me I to Allah and to your parents and you know that to Allah will be your destination so here we can also take from this because this comes among the advice of Luqman to his son that this is also a part of what a parent instills upon the children and that is the responsibility of the child towards their parent and linking that to the rights of Allah the right of Allah يا بني لا تشرك بالله إن الشركة لا ظلم عظيم oh my son don't make a partner with Allah indeed making a partner with Allah is the greatest kind of oppression and link the right of the parents إن الشكول لي وَلِوَا لِدَيْكَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرَ that you show gratitude to me and you show gratitude to your parents gratitude to me and you show gratitude to your parents gratitude to Allah and gratitude to your parents and that's important to put it in that context some parents when they teach their children the only thing that they teach their children is the right of the parents and they neglect the right of Allah but in reality we have to teach them the right of Allah first and the right of the parents and then link the two together إن شكول لي وَلِوَا لِدَيْكَ so that you may show gratitude to Allah first of all because Allah comes first and Islam comes first and you may also show gratitude to your parents and they are the most deserving of the rights to be fulfilled after the right of Allah سبحانه وتعالى وإن جاهدك على أن تشتك بما ليس لك به علم فلا توطيعهما وصاحبهما في الدنيا معروفة واتبع سبيل من أناب إلي ثم إلي مرجعكم فأونبيعكم بما كنتم تعملون ثم الله عزوجل تخبرنا أن حتى إذا إذا كنتم أصبحت لكي أصبحت لكي أصبحت مع الله في ذلك لن تخبرهم لأن as we said لا طاعة لما خلوك في معصية الخالق there is no obedience to creation and disobedience to the creator we spoke about how your children could take you away from Allah if you are not careful or likewise your parents could also command you to do something that takes you away from Allah but as a child you do not obey anyone if it means disobeying Allah but وصاحبهما في الدنيا معروفة you still accompany your parents in this world in the best way you still accompany them spend time with them speak with them have good manners with them even if they tell you to make a partner with Allah and look at how this is related to the statement of Luqman إن شركة لظلمون عظيم making a partner with Allah is the greatest kind of oppression and still if your parents command you to make a partner with Allah you still don't leave them you don't make hajr of them you don't abandon them and turn away from them but you continue to call them to Islam and you continue even though you don't obey them in that you continue to give them that صحبة that accompaniment in the dunya in the best possible way and then Allah and follow the path of those who turn to me in repentance and then know to me will be your return and I will inform you about what you used to do then the advice we return back to the advice of Luqman the ayat go back to the advice of Luqman that Luqman said he said oh my son and again he addresses him with such a beautiful sweet way of addressing him يا بني oh my little boy my little son and it doesn't mean that his son was necessarily and he's small but it's the way that he's addressing him in such a nice way oh my son if there is the weight of a seed or the weight of a mustard seed and this was inside of a rock or anywhere in the heavens or anywhere in the earth Allah will bring it forth here we speak about the tarbia of our children as it relates to the مراقبة of Allah سبحانه وتعالى knowing that Allah is watching you knowing that Allah سبحانه وتعالى sees what you do and wallahi this is from the greatest of the things that we can educate and nurture our children upon and remember tarbia is not just about educating them and that's it we just teach them my children don't make a partner with Allah my children be aware that Allah is watching you but instead it's a matter of nurturing them like constantly encouraging them to have this kind of mindset always encouraging them to have this belief and have this mindset and one of the greatest things you can nurture your children upon is the مراقبة of Allah عز وجل to know that Allah سبحانه وتعالى is watching you and this brings us to the statement of the Prophet about إحسان in the حديث of جبريل أن تعبد الله كأنك فإن لم تكن تراه فإنه يراك that you worship Allah as though you can see him and even though you can't see him you know that he sees you look at what he said there was even a seed the side of a mustard seed a tiniest little seed the size of a mustard seed and if it was deep within the earth or anywhere in the heavens in the earth if it was hidden inside of the rock or it was in the heavens of the earth Allah سبحانه وتعالى will bring it forth فمن يعمل مدقال ذرط خير ومن يعمل ذرط whoever does even an atom's weight of good we'll see it and he teaches his children and he encourages his children to be aware that Allah is watching you and ultimately that requires the parent to be an example right you know سبحانه وتعالى how many times we fall into this era that we feel that what matters is how we are in front of other people and the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم he mentioned a group of people إذا خلق بما حارم الله انتهكوها a group of people that their deeds will come يوم القيامة and they'll be like the mountains they'll be turned to dust why? because when they were alone with what Allah made حرام they fell into it and that doesn't mean that you'll never do حرام when you're alone it doesn't mean that but what it means is that the person didn't see it to be worth anything they didn't see it was important that when they were alone and no one saw them but Allah they didn't think it was important the only thing they thought was important is what they did in front of everybody else that's what they saw to be important that's what they considered to be worthwhile what they did in front of other people but what they did when Allah that nobody sees them except Allah they didn't see it to be important so they fell into all kinds of حرام they close the door and they lock the door and they don't care what they do they fall into all of the حرام انتهكوها they fell into all of those kinds انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها انتهكوها حتى أنه ليس عن ذلك ، إنه عن مراقبة الله عز و جل تحاول أطفالنا أن نعرف أن الله يشاهدهم و أن ما يحدث هو أن الله يعرف ما يفعله لأنه حتى أنك تفعيل أطفالك و تعرف ما يفعلك هذا لا يستطيع أن يساعد الأمر هذا لا يستطيع أن يساعدك في كل حالك هذا لا يستطيع أن يساعدك عندما تفعله لأنك ستفعله جيدا كما أنك في مدينة أطفالك و كم so many people are like that كم so many Muslims fall into that و then he told his son he taught his son establish the prayer and command what is good and forbid what is evil and be patient over what will happen to you or what will afflict you indeed this is from the matters that require determination so he told his son Subhanallah look at the beautiful he told him he told his son my son don't make a partner with Allah because making a partner with Allah is the worst kind of oppression the greatest form of oppression he told his son to develop the مراقبة of Allah to know that Allah is watching you to know that you can't hide something from Allah to know that Allah will call you and hold you to account for what you have done and then he told his son all my son have performed the Salah أقيم الصلاة because the Salah has such an important position in the religion of Islam the messenger of Allah فمن تركها فقد كفر the difference between us and them is the prayer and whoever leaves it has disbelieved and الله عز وجل told us in the Quran Subhanallah that's what we want for our children right we want our children to stop doing wrong things to have to be righteous to be that well-d صالح that righteous child يدعو ل that calls or makes dua to Allah عز وجل for their parents after their parents are passed away but that's only going to come when we establish and we teach our children to perform the Salah أقيم الصلاة and we're going to talk about this Insha'Allah later on about the ages and things like that طربية is the age-specific or the age-specific nature of طربية but he's أقيم الصلاة and he tells his son oh my son, perform the prayer be from the people who perform the prayer وَأَمُرْ بِلْ مَعْرُفْ and command that which is good وَنْهِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرْ and forbid that which is evil and that is the situation of the best of people because the best of people are those people who الله عز وجل has adorned them with إيمان and they call to that which is good and they forbid that which is evil and that's why Allah عز وجل told us in Surah Al-Imran كنتم خير أمة أخرجك للناس تأمرون بالمعروف وتنهون عن المنكري وتؤمنون بالله you're the best of the people that's ever the best nation that's ever been brought out for the people you command what is good and you forbid what is evil and you believe in Allah and that is the status that's the worst of the description of the best of people they have إيمان they command what is good and they forbid what is evil I know that commanding good and forbidding evil that requires its own episode and it's probably outside of the topic that we have on the Muslim family but it requires its own lecture and its own topic because there are so many rulings and regulations about how to do that and to do it properly but to teach our children when you see something wrong that you should have a desire within yourself to stop that in the way that Islam makes permissible and the way that Islam has legislated for you and you should be people who go around it and spread the good give dawah call the people to the good tell the people to do good stop people from doing wrong but when you do that when you have that description of the best of the people and that's better than the person who is a person of إيمان but they keep that إيمان to themselves they're a person of إيمان but their إيمان is for themselves only they don't tell the people to do good they don't give دعوة to Allah they don't forbid the people from doing that which is wrong and the greatest good you can tell a person to do is it توحيد to worship Allah alone and the greatest evil you can prevent people from is شرك is making a partner with Allah and then after that all of the other commandments and the sins each in accordance to the level that Allah has given it and when you do that what will happen you will need to be patient وصبر على ما أصابق be patient with what will happen to you because ultimately he's teaching his son a life lesson that when you go and you call the people to توحيد and you forbid the people from شرك and you call the people to سنة and you forbid the people from بدع and you call the people to أطاعة to obedience to Allah and you forbid them from المعصير from the sins what's going to happen the same thing that happened to the أمبياء and the رسل the prophets and the messengers you're going to need patience so he's preparing didn't we say that تربية is preparing your children for what they're going to need preparing your children for what they're going to need going forward so here he sees that my son I'm teaching you perform the prayer command what is good forbid what is evil and I'm preparing you for the fact that you're going to need to be patient وصبر على ما أصابق in your life رغاوص of how much of the ordering the good and forbidding the evil you do everyone in their life is going to have things that happen to them that are difficulties troubles so you prepare your children for that and you teach them and nurture them how to manage when the situation is not as they would wish it to be and that is one of the greatest life lessons we can teach our children how to manage in the situation of the مصيب the situation of the كلمة and the extreme difficulty how do we cope with that and he teaches his son and he prepares him for it mentally إِنَّ ذَالِكَ مِنْ عَزْمِ الْأُمُورِ this is going to require determination it's not easy it's not easy to manage when things are difficult it's not easy easy to manage when you have a calamity happen to you it's not easy to manage when the people reject you and the people ridicule you or the people push you away or they threaten you or insult you it's not easy to manage it's going to require العزم it's going to require determination so he's building the character of his child and character building is one of the most fundamental parts of طربية building the character of the person the شخصية of the child the character building the character and one of the aspects in the character is العزم determination to be determined and no doubt we're going to talk about that that requires the توفيق of Allah and it requires putting your trust in Allah and the trust in Allah but having that determination to carry on even when difficulties happen to you then he continued with his advice لقمان عليه السلام he said ولا تصعر خدك للناس ولا تمشي في الأرض مرحا إن الله لا يحب كل مختال فخور الله عزف جل told us about the advice of لقمان as it continues and don't ولا تصعر خدك للناس this expression is an expression that relates to the camel and what it means is that you kind of show the people your cheek and you show and it's kind of an expression of pride and seeing yourself above the people ولا تمشي في الأرض مرحا and don't walk on the earth مرحا and that situation of again it's pride and haughtiness and seeing yourself to be above other people don't turn your cheek to the people ولا تصعر خدك للناس don't turn your cheek to the people in a way and it's a symbol of pride and a symbol of you seeing yourself to be above them and don't make the way that you walk a walk of pride إن الله لا يحب كل مختال فخور Allah does truly Allah does not love every arrogant poster look at what لقمان has now moved on to he's moved on to teaching his son the etiquettes of how to interact with other people in the context of what the context of Islam سبحان الله look at the difference here it's not just it's not just that he's teaching his son etiquettes and how to behave towards other people teaching your children manners basically right but he's teaching him manners in the light of Islam and that's why we said that whenever the tarbiyah deals with the mu'amalat how to deal with other people it's always فيضو الإسلام فيضو الكتاب والصنة in the light of the Quran and the sunnah that's how we teach our children the etiquettes and the matter and the etiquettes that are the things that are beloved to Allah and the things that Allah عز وجل hates Allah عز وجل hates for a person to show pride and warthiness and insolence and to walk on the earth in that way that insolent way and Allah doesn't love every arrogant booster سبحان الله but this is an etiquette of how you deal with people so لقمان is teaching his son how to deal with people but he's and how to behave towards people and he has manners and etiquettes but he's teaching them in the light of what Allah عز وجل loves because ultimately the Prophet صعيص him like he said إنما بعثتوا لأتمم مكارم الأخلاق I was only sent to complete the best of manners I was only sent to complete the best of manners and that includes manners with Allah عز وجل يا بونية لا تشرك بالله ومي صندوا make a partner for the people as well and that's a part of Islam so we teach our children manners but we don't teach it independently of Islam we teach it in the light of Islam and then he said وقصد في مشيك وغبض من صوتك إن أنكر الأصوات لصوت الحمير he said be moderate in your walking and we know that Islam requires moderation in everything وكذلك جعلناكم أمة وصطة like this we've made you a moderate a middle umm be moderate in your walking وغبض من صوتك and lower your voice don't make your voice don't shout out above the people some of the scholars they mentioned this is an etiquette in terms of when a person has knowledge they don't need to raise their voice people who raise their voice and shout over other people it's because they don't have the they don't have the they don't have the evidence they don't have knowledge to be able to argue their point so they just raise their voices but in reality when you're raising your voice and just making a loud noise it's not something that signifies that signifies knowledge and that's why he said at the end إن أنكر العصوات لصوت الحمير the most hated of sounds is the bring of a donkey the bring of the donkey that's not something that comes with knowledge it's just a noise it's a noise that is أنكر العصوات it's the most hated of sounds it's just a noise but it's not it doesn't signify knowledge and etiquettes and manners it's just part of the تاربئة that he taught to his son that الله عزو جل told us about إن النكراء when you speak with people lower your voice let you overcome people through your evidence through your حجة through your knowledge don't overcome them by raising your voice and shouting over them like the سوت الحمير like the voice or like the bring of the donkey and likewise when you walk among the people be moderate don't be the one في أي أسلحة على أحد أسلحة أو أخرى. وهذا فقط مجرد تربية أن لقمان, أنه أعطيه أسلحة المجرد أن الله أعطينا في القرآن لقمان وإنهي سن. لكنه يوجد so many lessons within it. سبحانه وتعالى نحن لا يوجد time in the course أو in this episode to go through all of the lessons that this contains. لكن إن شاء الله تعالى هذا فقط اشارع and indication of some of the benefits and the lessons as it relates to تربية from the story that is mentioned to us إن القرآن بالقمان أنه سن تسول الله عز جل may it be easy for me to mention أن الله عز جل is best والصلاة والسلام على نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين. السلام عليكم if you're enjoying these videos and you'd like to keep up to date with all of the courses we're going

Remembering No. 1 Sowido Boy Prokid While 2018 has been filled with ups and downs, death has not been kind this year. The entire hip-hop industry was plunged into deep sadness when news of Prokid's death emerged on August 9. Prokid was found dead at the flat of his side chicks after he suffered a reported seizure. Those close to the hip-hop veteran hailed his contribution to the industry and his love for Sowido. Even though in recent years Prokid wasn't completely in the spotlight, his legacy lives on through his music and the role he played in the lives of other musicians. Prokid's close friend Zachwy told Chwissa Eliwee that the star was going though a depression of some sort over the lack of gigs. Zachwy also opened up about the major role Prokid played in helping his career. We lost a brother. I lost a big brother. He was more than an emcee that I looked up to. He was my mentor. Everything I do now is based on what he taught me.


One thing that seems very close to being completed, it was first reported by Ken Rosenthal of the Athletic, that Jay Hap and the Yankees had come to an agreement and all that was left was physicals and things like that. Then he walked it back momentarily or moments later where he said, let me walk that back, it's still not quite done, but everything that I'm hearing is that it is going to get done. And the reason that it's going to get done is that the Yankees did what they didn't want to do. If it does get done, they did what they didn't want to do, they went to a third year. And we've been saying this over and over the past week or so. They lost out on Corbin because they wouldn't go to 6. They lost out on Evaldi because they wouldn't go to 4. And if they continue to be so stringent and responsible, they're going to lose out on people they need and they probably examine the trade market for Kluber and for Cindergaard. And they're saying the price is too high in terms of what we would have to give up, in terms of a big talent switch from the Yankees to that team. Let's just sign Hap who doesn't cost us anything. And then what it keeps in play is this guys, if they have to get that big time pitcher. And I've heard walking the lobbies here guys that Madison Bumgarner is likely not going to be dealt by the Giants. And if he is going to be dealt, he's going to be dealt near the trade deadline if the Giants are out of it. So this way the Yankees keep their prospects. And if a Kluber or a Bauer or a Bumgarner is not traded now, then they might be traded closer to the trade deadline and the Yankees will have the inventory to go get that player.  You've got the kids now in a AAA that could come up in case people missed starts.  They don't want to do it now and it makes sense. Just spend the money and if you bite the bullet, you bite the bullet on a guy like Hap who has an effortless delivery whose stuff looks like it would translate maybe three years. But it doesn't, you know, so what? They lost money in the third year. It's not like they're losing, you know, what they lost with Alex Rodriguez in your seven, eight, nine and ten in that contract. So I think it's probably a smart move if it happens. The guy's proven that he can handle New York. He pitched him in the postseason. They pitched well for the Yankees against the Red Sox, but he didn't lose pitching for them after coming over from the Blue Jays in the regular season. I think it's a good move by them. People have to look at it a little differently than they are because you look at it happily. The trade didn't work last year. You traded to get them to beat the Red Sox, didn't beat the Red Sox. So what are you going crazy signing them for? Yes, you traded for him last year specifically to beat the Red Sox because you knew you were going to the playoffs anyway. Now you've signed him to a three-year deal to be what he was in the regular season when he was seven and oh. So you traded for one player. You're signing kind of the same player for a much different reason. And this is what they knew they had in their back pocket. I can't remember if it was Buster only or Todd Ferducci that brought this up.  So they knew all they had to do was go to three years and he was going to sign with them. So that's why they didn't give the extra year to Corbin. That's why they didn't go after Evaldi because they knew that at the end of the day, if they didn't get the player they wanted for the price they wanted, they can give half the extra year. So they lived up to their expectations as far as their plans are concerned. Maybe it wasn't the plans that the fans had for them, but this is what they had planned all along.


Nat Phillips, gweithgwm ar AFC Bournemouth. First things first, how's your cheekbone? Cheekbone's all fine now. It was probably only sore for one week after the collision, but because the bone had broken, they had to give it enough time to heal. That time has passed now and I've not had any issues. Fractured your cheekbone against AC Milan in the Champions League in December? I've got to ask you about that croiff turn in that game as well. Have you been dining out on that over Christmas and can we expect to see you doing that for the cherries? I'll probably say I have been dining out on it. I've had a lot of compliments over it and obviously got quite a bit of attention. So that was nice and I wouldn't say, I can't promise that I'll be doing it for the cherries, but if it's an occasion where it's necessary then I can't rule it out. Tell us about how your move came to the Vitality Stadium? I think interests have been sort of growing throughout the window and it was an option that I was really excited about because of the club's ambition and I've heard a lot of good things about the club. So I'm very happy to be here and I'm looking forward to getting started. Have you got any inside info on the town of Bournemouth, if you like, from anybody you know, any connections? Yeah, a little bit. I know a few people who live here. Adam Llanar, I think he's got a place there, so I'll be knocking on his door soon and some other friends as well, the ex-footballer Kevin Davis, I think he lives down here now. I know three of my family, so I'll be turning to them for advice on where to go. It's been a busy transfer window for Bournemouth at the start and at the end. Have you had a chance to sort of do any research on the club yet? I did actually, I've had a look at the fixtures coming up and some of the past fixtures and had a little skin over the history. But like you say, it has been a busy transfer window and I think that's reflective of the club's aspirations, as a player just excites you. What's been the brief from Liverpool? Is it just to get games? Certainly, I think I've had a period now where I've not seen a great deal of football all minutes and obviously as a player that's what you want to be doing. You want to be playing games, so I'm hoping that coming here I'll get that opportunity to do so and then the club giving me that opportunity hopefully I can repay it with some good performances. Only in December it was, Jurgen Klopp described you as one of the smartest players he has ever worked with. He said he improved in pretty much everything. He's not playing, life is sometimes not fair and I can't blame him. What do you make of that? Smartest players, I'm not sure about that. I've come across a lot of players who are very smart but obviously it's high praise. I would say that I have improved huge amounts during the time that I've been working underneath him and he's a great coach and a great manager and also off the field he's a great person to have behind you. So I'm very fortunate to have benefited from that relationship with him. And it is true, it's difficult when you're not playing. I found it difficult, I think certainly after getting a taste for regular football last year to then go back to not playing as much, it is hard. But I recognise that. I need to go and get some minutes elsewhere and hopefully this is a move that suits all parties. I'm really excited to be here and I'm hoping that the club feel the same. You're going to be obviously working under a different manager for a short period of time in Scott Park. Are you, must be looking forward to working? I'm sure you know quite a lot about him already. Yeah, very much so obviously as I was growing up I saw him play a lot. He was a great footballer and I think he's shown plenty of signs of being a great manager as well where the club's sitting at the moment. I think he's going to have a lot to offer me and coach me. So I'm looking forward to meeting him and getting started. I've got to mention it now. You were on the receiving end of a Scott Park a defeat last season when Fulham 1-1 nill at Anfield as well. So he certainly knows what he's about. Yeah, exactly. No, it is true. I think in the time that he has been managing he's shown a lot of people what he can do. And I think people see him as someone who's got a good future in management. Me being one of them. So I'm really excited to work with him. What about the championship? Do you know much about it? Everybody says it's a relentless division. Yeah, I think so. I think as a division it's intense, physical, relentless. It's a good way to describe it. Lots of games, I would say as well. You've got to be consistently on the top of your game if you want to succeed in this division. I grew up as a bulletin fan, so I watched bulletin in the championship for quite a few seasons and I've seen how difficult it can be along with seeing team mates of mine come here on loan. But also for those reasons it makes it very exciting as well. In a recent Sky interview, Nat, you said that you would be ready straight away to get involved in play. Is that whether it's Bore and Wood or Black Ball, whoever's next? Yeah, exactly. As soon as the manager and the coaches want me to play, I'm ready to step on to the field and get going. I'm just really excited to start playing games again, contribute to the team and do whatever I can for the club.  There's a strong bulletin link here with Gary Cahill, another one of the central defenders now. I think your dad Jimmy was on the coaching staff and he was a player at Bolton, so what do you remember of him? I remember Gary probably being one of the first defenders that I really looked up to as a fan and as an aspiring footballer. I think before then there were some good centre backs but I probably didn't understand the game enough to appreciate them whereas at the time Gary was at Bolton I was of an age to really appreciate what he did as a defender and obviously he got a great move to Chelsea and had a wonderful career from there on out and he's someone that obviously with his experience that I can hopefully learn from and turn to for advice and I'm looking forward to working with him. Seeing somebody like him come here in the summer as well just shows you the intent of the club. Yeah exactly, yeah. I think from the calibre of players that are here, the manager all those things show that the club really are serious about pushing for promotion this year and that's what you want to see as players and that's what you want to see as fans so it's an exciting time. You had a fantastic run in the Liverpool team last season that Premier League debut first Premier League, Gold Champions League debut, Man of the Match awards clearly that's given you a taste of what you're looking to continue here. Yeah exactly and I think probably the most important thing that I felt throughout last season was that I saw an improvement in myself as the season went on and as I built up the games so obviously that's something that I'm looking to continue after a period where I've not played a great deal of football I want to get back to playing games again and continue to develop and improve and obviously bring as much as I can to the team and the club. You've been asked before about what you learn from training with defenders like Virgil van Dijk but you also highlighted what you learn from training with the strikers that they've got Liverpool as well. That's why it's true. Everyone really, the standard that training is every day we can week out means that you've got to be on the top of your game every day and when you're tasked with the job of keeping most salary away from goal or stadium money or any of the players then obviously it's tough and you've got to learn the hard way. Four appearances for you this season Papa John's Trophy League Cup and Champions League that's an eclectic mix of competitions. Yeah it is, it is exactly and I think that's just obviously a reflection of the role that I was playing up until now at Liverpool which is down to the high competition at the club and obviously it's difficult to get games when the competition is so high so again I'm excited to be here so that hopefully I can get a better run of games in more minutes. Here we are the end of January the season is going to fly by the next three and a half months what are you hoping to achieve in those three and a half months while you're here? Promotion I think it's that simple really I think the club's got the clear goal I think the players are obviously all players wanting to play in the Premier League and promotion is the way to do that so I think we've all got that clear common goal of achieving promotion and we'll all be doing everything we can to make sure we achieve that.


All right everybody, what is going on? Welcome back to another video. Today we're looking at the Birmingham iron versus the Atlanta legends which is the team that I've decided to back in the new AAF. We're looking at AAF week three game number two which is the second one for the week for me. So stick around, if you're enjoying this league, hit the like button below. If you like this video, hit the like button. If you like me and you want to help me and the channel, hit the like button. And with that being said, let's get into it. Okay, I have been looking forward to this game. I'm not going to lie, the Birmingham iron would have to be the other team that I'm the most interested in just because of their running back who I liked to call Jefferson in my previous video but his name is actually Richardson of course. So we're about to get into it. The legends with Koo, Yongwei Koo and old Trent Richardson. Let's get into it. And Perez, let's do it. I'm going to be careful, I'm not too loud around here. Give it a go! Bang, shot, Pertman. Oh, he put his foot in the ground, all right. Bang! Shot legends, let's keep it going. Go, mate! Good first down. Shit, man. That was a similar play to the last one that I sort of slowed down and looked at, the rollout. So he had all three of his receivers turning to the right and going out to the right. So then it was his choice which one he was going to hit. And that was the second one because 89 was completely open. Let's watch that again. Backfield. So we've got one, two and we're about to have three. Rolling up. One, two, three. Bang! Or just two. That defender did some good work. Down, backfield. Pertman, they feet to him, rolling up. So why did that defender at this point come off of this man who's closer to the quarterback and go back to this guy at the back of the corner post? Why did he do that? That's great defending, man.   That's... That's some pretty amazing decision-making on the fly and it worked out. No wonder he's happy. Short. 5'36 to go, Arch. Birmingham's defense makes the stand. A great drive to start the game from the legends but fourth to go in the iron. Make the play 0-0. So far the legend's on. Don't you hate that? The defender literally not even knowing where the ball is but still stopping it. That's annoying. The receiver saw the defender coming, that's for sure. Hunters could not hang on to it. Mirror it on the coverage. What's happening here? Things getting a little heated. Doing. Yeah, boy. I love that. Bang, bang, bang, bang. Actually it was only two. Bang, bang. They called it a jab. That was a nice little jab. I really like that. Jab, jab. Stay up, mate. It could have been a touchdown if he stayed on his feet. So it doesn't matter if he put his elbow or knee down. If he doesn't get touched that wasn't counted as a tackle. I thought it was... I thought because he put his elbow or knee down he was down. Koo! Our guy. Shot, Koo. Five for five in his Alliance career. Not bad. Where's Rick? How did he get it through there? Oh, man. Shit, man.  Look at that defender coming in. Good hot.  What a ball for a start. Too bad about the drop catch. But that defender absolutely cleaned that guy up. Now what's going to happen? Did he catch it? That's just a great defensive play. Let's watch it again. I'm going to have to pause that right at the second that he got hit. Oh, no, he's coming down. He's coming down. He doesn't know what's about to hit him.  Really? I think an automatic first down where it was done. Oh, my God. What did he do?  That's a bad penalty to make. I thought it was five yards from the scrimmage. Let me have a look. Well, he tackled him at the same time that he thought he was going to be catching the ball. He wasn't going to get that ball, that's what he said. The spot of the foul and automatic first down. That's terrible. That's terrible. They just made 60 yards from that play. They feed the beast. I like that. They fed the beast, all right, and he's hungry. Let's eat. Shot Richardson. Five touchdowns. Four. I can do that. I do want to have a look at Perez's story, actually. I've been recommended that a few times. Apparently, he actually learned how to play quarterback from YouTube. Is that right?  And we all know how much we like YouTube around here. A nice stiff arm would have been good. He's quick, but he ain't that quick.  Quick. I like that. Shot Coup. Third quarter. Haven't really seen a lot of running plays. Man, you've got to be so secure with that ball. I'm still getting my head around the fact that the defenders are literally trained. They've got lessons in just trying to rip that ball out of your hands. Like, don't worry about the tackle. They're going to be going for the ball. So it's ball security that's number one, isn't it? I thought he was going to do a John Ross. He's tall. He was all the way over the other side of the field. That same guy. Where is he? He's right here. Good speed. Shot. Keep going. Could have scored that. You know exactly what's coming. Go make the tackle. Go chop that outside leg. Work up field and make that play. That guy should have scored, man. Washington to the left. Should have cut on the inside and scored. Give it to him. Where you going, mate? You going to score? Keep going, keep going. I honestly wouldn't have been surprised if he scored, then.  Feed the beast. Feed the beast. Oh, that's not a touch down. Two points.  Fourth and 15. Come on, legends. Be legendary. Ah, man. He is killing it.  I want to see more of his highlights from back in the back field. Or are they just bringing him on when they're close to the line? Are they just giving them ball when they're close to the line? I did see a video on Highlight Heaven talking about his highlights from this particular game. I can't remember how many yards they said he rushed for, but he hasn't rushed for too many yet. But he does have three touchdowns. So I'm expecting in these last four and a half minutes, he's probably going to carve up even more. Washington. Washington to legs. Crazy legs. Well done. I want to see if that was a Hail Mary attempt. Well, obviously it was. I want to see where the receivers are. Three on that side, one on this side. He did well to catch that. Yards, mate. Keep going. Well, it was Kaepernick. Three and 0 in the first of two meetings between these two teams. Well, I'll be looking forward to the next meeting and I hope although I don't know if anyone's going to get it over Birmingham. I reckon Birmingham might win this first season, you know, in my humble opinion. But anyways guys, that is just my opinion. Feel free to give yours in the comment section below and if you have enjoyed this video, hit the like button. If you want to subscribe for more, please do. And I'll see you in the next one for game number three. Hopefully I'll be on point for that one. The last two games I've felt very, very tired. Very sluggish. But I really want to get these videos out for you. And I want to watch them myself.  I feel like this is my time, man. This is my opportunity to really get involved in a league and know everything about it. Anyway, so, I'm doing what I can. I hope you enjoy. I'll see you in the next one. Peace out.


Hello, welcome to the session recursion in that factorial example. At the end of this session the student will be able to implement program to find factorial of a number by using recursion as well as iterative method in C. Basically what is the factorial? The factorial function the symbol it is indicating says to whatever the number has chosen for factorial it has to be multiplied up to the 1. So, if it is 1 it will be 1 only 2 then 2 into 1 up to 1 it will be 2, 3 into 2 into 1 it will be 6, 4 into 3 into 2 into 1 it will be 24 like this. Whatever the number is there that has to be multiplied up to the last one sequence and whatever the answer will be there we have to calculate. Now here calculating from the previous value if we are having a previous value we can easily calculate the factorial from the previous one. So, if we are having 5 and if we are knowing the value that 4 factorial is 24 then 24 into 5 we can get 120. And if we want to calculate fourth term and we are knowing the previous term is having value 6. So, 6 into 4 we can get the 24 like this whatever the number if we are knowing the whatever the previous factorial number then it is easily can be calculated. See what is the application or use of this factorial we can do this one of the example it is shown here. If one letter is A is there then there is only one way to represent that one. If we are having A and B the representation will be into 2 way that we can represent it at as AB or BA. And if we are having 3 letters ABC then we can represent into 1 into 2 into 3 way that is a 6 way. So, here it is shown that possibilities ABC, ACB, CAB, BAC that placement of every character is changed in this case. So, if we are knowing the factorial so, we can give the all the possibilities of that particular characters how many type it can be present ok. If nothing is there so, only one possibility that nothing we can replace it or we can place it. So, you can try this if as we have seen up to this here we are having 4 letters. So, how many possibilities can be represented with this 4 letters was for some time and you can represent without repeating anything ok. Here is the answer so, we are having the 4 characters so, 4 into 3 into 2 into 1 that is the 24 way we can represent all this ABCD ok. Now what is the factorial and how we are calculating that that is one more possibility here we can see that the 5 it is having the final value is 120. Now we have seen that if we are knowing this 4 factorial then we can directly multiply. So, 4 factorial can depend upon the 3 factorial, 3 factorial can depend upon the 2 factorial and 2 factorial can depend upon the 1 factorial. Now 1 is having this answer 1 so, it will be replaced by 1 into 2 then that will be 2, 2 into 3 like this we can replace that values of that particular factorial both programs first for the iteration and then we will go for the recursion. So, in the iteration we are using the loop here we are having the number so, here factorial number 5 we are calling for that so, here integer 5 will be there then if it is check that it is 1 no then it will go for the next calculation of the factorial. So, here it will go 2 in up till 5 the loop will be running so, fact will be there it is already 1 and factorial into the count ok. So, here count is now 2 1 into 2 again next 2 is equal to 2 into 3 next like this the factorial will be calculated of 5 it will be 120. So, this is the simple way of the iteration, but here we need fact count we have to maintain that variables also then we will see how it can be called the recursion just we have seen instead of phi u is equal to phi into 4 into 3 into 2 into 1 here we are replacing it by phi u into 4 factorial. So, like this this can be cut down into the simple calculation function and then that simple last one will be answering the answer and then it will be passed to the next step. So, this analysis is there n into n minus 1 into n minus 2 that is replaced by this recursion ok. So, we will see how it is possible to do this simple case answer is that is the smallest answer simple answer that is 1 this is the recursion just which number we are calling that will be called this. So, here it is passing if it is less than or equal to 1 we will return 1 otherwise we are calling this factorial again and again the value should be acted is 24 and how it is done we will see first phi u factorial it will be calling so this is the function if it is equal to 1 it will be returning 1 else it will be going for phi u into factorial phi u minus 1 then whatever the value is there it will be returned there. So, here what will happen before returning this value it will call phi u into factorial phi u minus 1 means it will call factorial 4 ok in the factorial 4 it will check is it a 1 no then again it will call 4 minus 1 that is 3 again it will check if it is a 1 no then it will be calling the factorial of 3. So, here in the factorial after factorial 3 it will be factorial calling 2 again 2 is not the smallest or it is not the termination. So, it will call 2 minus 1 that is factorial 1 now here 1 is equal to 1. So, it will return the value 1 1 into the factorial value here only it will be terminated it will be returning the value 1. So, that 1 value will be returned to this factorial 2 as we are having 1 into 2. So, that is 2 then this 2 value will be returned to this factorial 3 minus 1 it will be 3 into 2 is 6 those 6 is returning to this factorial 4 minus 1. So, it will be calculating 4 into 6 that will be 24 and 24 is passed to this function then it will be 24 into 5 that will be giving the value 1 2. So, without using any other variable it can be recall that and as we are putting all this value this calling on the stack as we have seen everyone whatever this value is pushed on the stack again it will pushed and when it is 1 it will be popped and next it will be passed it will be again popped 2 then it will be popped 6 as they are returning the values. So, this is the reference. Thank you.


What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here Just want to talk about the box office expectations at the sequel to it 2017 it it chapter 2 which is going to be releasing in like three weeks. I believe The film is expected to bring in around close to 110 upwards to possibly 120 million dollars and it's opening weekend Now that is very impressive. I think that would make it the second biggest opening for a horror film. Currently the original film That is still to this day the highest Role-seeing horror film worldwide. I think it brought in around 700 million plus at the box office So and even that film had a big opening. I think that's the First biggest opening for a horror film in a weekend But the fact that it chapter 2 could bring in upwards 210 and 120 million dollars doesn't surprise me Because everyone has been talking about this film. This is one of the most highly anticipated horror films of the year I think a lot of people are looking forward to see how this wraps up How are they going to execute the second portion of one of Stephen King's best recognized novels? Are they gonna do it justice? I Can't say that early reviews have started coming out about the film I haven't seen it yet, but when it does release for me to be able to see I will go see it And I will do a review of it More than likely I will see see it at a press screening If I get invited to one I'm more than likely will get a ticket to a press screening since my The website that I write my reviews for they're doing a giveaway and I'm going to get a ticket by default But no surprise there that they are going to be having a huge opening weekend because this is one of the biggest films Not just for hordes one of the biggest films that are they have a lot of anticipation behind it for the year Close in the runtime is very similar to Avengers Endgame and Just I buy pure coincidence. It's also got a huge fan base behind it just like Avengers Endgame had when it came out I'm not saying is gonna make as much money in the endgame But the fact that it chapter 2 is gonna have a big opening weekend doesn't surprise me In the end I see this film making upwards towards and maybe 700 million just like the original maybe it might even surpass that and make close to a billion dollars it's very possible because if the first movie made 700 million and With so much people and so many people joining in on the fun and looking forward to seeing how they follow it up I could easily see it chapter 2 reaching the 1 billion mark or coming very close to reaching the 1 billion mark I'm looking forward to the film can't wait to see what they do can't wait to see bills bill scars are back in Back portraying Pennywise can't we see what James McAvoy does because James McAvoy is one of my favorite actors right now Can't wait to see what Jessica Chastain does can't wait to see this scene that they're claiming is the bloodiest scene in a horror film I'm just really excited about the project. I can't wait for it to come out Let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below About it chapter 2 having a big opening weekend if you haven't already make sure you subscribe and turn on post notifications So you never miss a video in the description. I'll have links on my social media accounts I'm on Facebook Twitter and Instagram you can message me there to let me know if there's any movies news or reviews You're letting me to cover in the future with all that in mind guys. I will see you in the next video


Hello, and welcome. This video is part of a series, number six in the series. Last video, we looked at the basics of arrays, creating arrays and looping through them, iterating through them. Today, we're going to look at shuffling arrays, which is very useful in many cases. You might have a large list of stuff and you want to grab one randomly or you just want them in a random order. We're going to do that, and we could do it all in our main function, but we're going to start working with other functions now because it's good for something like this where you want to shuffle an array to have a function that does that. So if you have more than one array, you can just pass it to that same function rather than repeating code, and that's what functions are primarily for. So we're going to, again, I'm using Vim as my text editor. You can use whatever you want, and I'm going to try trying to keep these video shirts. We're going to go through this fairly fast, but we're going to have to include a few other headers here. So include, and here we're going to say stdlib.h, and we're also going to include time.header. Now, we can create a function. We could create the function above here, above main, if we want to. We can put the whole function there because a function has to be called, has to be written before it's called. So we could write the whole function up there and then call in main. If we wrote it down here after main, main wouldn't know of it. So what you normally do, you want your main function at the top. So what you can do is you can declare the function up top and then actually write it below. So what we're going to do here is I'm going to say void shuffle is what we're going to call our function, and it's going to take some input. So we're going to say char, astrict, array, or r for our array, and then an integer, which is the length. So we're going to pass it the array and the length of the array. Here's our array here. Let's go ahead and take that out and make it a global variable for now just to keep things simple. And then down in here, actually I don't know if I have to put that outside the main function. We'll leave it outside for right now. But what we're going to do is we need to generate a random seed. So computers can't really generate random things. They're all based on math. But that's why we have our time function. It's going to use the time function, some time stuff to fake a randomness. But we have to create a random seed. So we're going to say s rand, so a function, and we're going to pass it time another function. And then here we'll put zero. So I call that is going to be our seed that we're generating. Then we've got our array. And then we're going to call our array. I'm sorry, our function, which we called shuffle. And what are we going to pass it? We're going to pass it my strings and the length. So we're passing it the array and the length. And at this point, I'm going to close off this function and return zero. Okay, great. So we've declared our function. Now let's actually create the function. Again, we're going to say void here. And we're going to call it shuffle. And really, we can just copy this from up here would be a little quicker. Okay, just doing a little copy and pasting there to save time. We don't need this return because this is a void function. We could return the array after shuffling it. But we're just going to take that array, and we're going to print out our message here and then loop through it, but shuffle it up. So let's go ahead. We clean this up a little bit from our previous video. So we're going to print out the number of items in the array, which is the in here, we're going to recall this Len, because that's what we're passing it as. We called it array length here. Actually, there we go. That saves us a little bit of trouble. And down here, we're going to say a Len again. It all depends on what you want to name your variables. Oops. Okay, things are going to change a little bit here. We're going to print out the count. How many things are in there? They're going to put this little line break there. They're going to start our for loop here. We're going to say integer start at zero. As long as it's shorter than the length of the array, we're going to add one to it. Now, before we print out our message, we're going to create another int another integer variable. We'll call it pick index. We're going to say equal ran. So we're using a function, a math function to create something random. And we're going to say percent, which is going to find the remainder when doing division. And then we're going to take the length that is passed to it, and then subtract I, which is what we're iterating through the variable here, which would be zero, then one, then two, then three, and so forth and so on. Now, when we print out our message here, and we don't need to say item whatever because we're shuffling it. So it isn't really that anymore. And here we renamed our array to ARR. We're going to now say to use our pick index instead of I. So basically we're getting the length minus one of the array. And we're basically taking that number and saying find a random number that's no bigger than that. So basically zero between that number. And we're adding that into here. And then we're printing out. Now, if we did that now, it will kind of sort of work. If I typed everything right, let's go ahead and pile that and run that. You can see it kind of sort of worked. It gave us a random one each time. So if you want it to each time, give one of those, in this case, seven different things, it will do that. But we want to actually have a shuffled list where each item shows up once. So it randomly picked four, then it randomly picked six, then it randomly picked four again, and then four times in a row, it randomly picked one. You may want that. You may not, depends on your project. But what we can do next is remove that item that we just used from the array. So we're going to say array pick index. So that's the one we just printed. And we're going to say, from the array, take the length minus the current integer minus one. And what that's going to do is each time an item in the array is used, it's going to be removed from the array. So now we should be able to recompile that, run it again. And now, instead of getting a random one each time from the entire list, we're getting a random one each time from what's left in the list. So we shouldn't get the same item twice. So as you can see, six, one, two, four, five, three, seven, run it again. Now we got six, five, seven, one, four, two, three, run it again. One, two, four, seven, six, five, three. So what we've looked at here again, we're looking at using this standard live and standard time to create some random seeds and some random numbers that are within the range of the length of our array. And then we're going to print out a random item from the list from the array. But then we're going to say, look at that array and remove that item from the array. That's what we're doing here is we're removing that last used item. It's gone so that it cannot be used again. So again, if you wanted to show a random item, and you don't mind if it's picking the same number each time, you leave this line off and comment it out like that. But if you want to have just shuffle the list, we're shuffling the list. This is what we're doing here. You're making sure that you don't use the same item twice. You're removing it from the list.

Strong thunderstorms and heavy winds made their way through Pike County Thursday night. There was minimal damage caused by the storm and most of the disturbance was cleaned up by Friday morning. There were some areas that had some straight line winds that were pretty powerful that brought down a lot of trees. However, one scene that caused some hiccups well into Friday morning was in Phelps. Around 4 a.m., a portion of Route 194 between Phelps and Freeburn collapsed, causing the embankment to fall 40 feet. We were flagging it and now we have signals in place for people to actually safely be able to travel through this area one lane at a time. Highway crews are unsure how long the cleanup will take, but want to remind motorists to be patient while traveling the now one lane road. Reporting in Phelps for EKB News, I'm Shelby Steele.


My name is Neil Jain. I am a team member of Team Gen Z and I'm from Seattle, Washington. If I'm talking to 11 year old kids, I would say imagine that iPhone you had in your pocket. Next time you're feeling sick, you could just touch it to yourself and tell you exactly what you'd have, what little pills to take, and then you'd be feeling better. I think being the youngest team does give us a unique perspective. I think one that everyone wants to help us, first of all, but also I think just the way young people think, the way we think is different than the way a lot of the other teams think. Teenagers to 30 year olds are coming up with all these new innovations. When I heard about the tricorder that just hit me specifically. I think there was just something so interesting about using that phone that I always have in my pocket in such a profound way that can only affect all the lives of people in our country but in the third world it can affect billions of people who just have no access to health care. Around here there's an environment of supporting but outside it's kind of hard to say I'm a teenager and I want to solve a global health problem and everyone's gonna be like okay sure maybe in ten years you'll go to college and you'll figure something out but no one really took us seriously and I think it's nice to actually have such a supportive group of people here and I think the whole environment is changing to realize that young people are gonna be the innovators of today not even tomorrow. I think what's really cool is that the power our device could have on the lives of so many people so a mother at home doesn't have to worry about her sick newborn crying in the middle of the night worrying if sick she can literally just take out her phone and diagnose him right there and see if she actually needs to go to the doctor if he's just tired or if he's in a village where they just they have never had access to mental care care to provide diagnoses for some of these world's common diseases because they're called common diseases for a reason it's just all of these can be diagnosed or treated if diagnosed early and I think that's what we're trying to do. Since I'm 16 I'm still in high school and some teachers just blatantly called they're like you know what Neil if you want to skip school come up with a more reasonable response to actually leave school for these three days and I have to actually take up and show them that I'm part of a tricorder team. Some of my friends still think I'm making up the whole thing.
