Hey everyone! So it's a beautiful day today and something exciting and interesting to come along with it. So I have some kind of I guess exciting news and also a I believe it's going to be a deep introspection. I look into my own life journey and psyche and also into things that matter. And what I'm specifically going to talk about is probably evident from the title. If the title is the same that I decided to keep. It's about rediscovering Aikido and it's all related to something which happened lately. So lately I was recording a video about the Aikido's philosophy and why I believe it often fails to deliver in most Aikido schools that I've witnessed or heard of. And so you can check out that video but what is important about it was that at the end of that video as I was talking about what is the Aikido philosophy or what it's supposed to be, part of me got quite inspired about it. And that was... I didn't see that coming. I didn't plan for that to happen. And it was a significant moment for me because lately especially over the last few years I very much became an enthusiast of critical thinking. Of always choosing the most effective path. And that happens kind of both on the conscious and subconscious level. In other words if I get excited about sending usually that's a sign that I see some practical value in it. And I was surprised myself. I caught myself off guard when I felt inspired about the Aikido philosophy. I was like oh that's interesting. And so for the next few weeks I started exploring that actually let me just give me a moment. I want to check that okay the microphone is on. The worst thing you can do is record a video and not record the audio. So yeah for the last for the next few weeks I was exploring that subject I was like okay I guess I'll take that I'll take a note that I got excited about and I'll see if that inspiration stays. That's actually one of the kind of tests I have or filters I have in my system because I am generally I'm a very ambitious person and in the past I used to suffer from doing too much of kind of jumping on things which I would get overloaded with. And one of the systems I kind of developed for myself was that when I get excited about something I would take out of that and I would wait at least a few days to see if that excitement stays because in the past I would get excited about something and I would jump on it and I would do something about it and later I would realize actually you know that wasn't the best idea or I shouldn't have rushed in it, isn't it? Now when you wait a few days or a few weeks and if the excitement stays usually for me that's a sign that okay there's something there my mind is attracted to probably my subconscious notices that there's something that resonates with me there. And that was the case with this subject with the Akitos philosophy. I also spent while I was exploring that subject there were also a few events that happened kind of a few things which strengthened that idea even more and that's actually another system I used to implement in my life and sometimes I still do to make sure that I wouldn't do things in a rush and that I would choose the right things. I call it the system of free pluses it's not a great name I guess but it works for me and that is when I get excited about something and I feel like a potential that I want to do something I usually wait for at least for free different events unrelated to each other that would support that decision. So for example when I was planning to go when I initially thought about doing the winter warrior if you know my journey hopefully or basically I could say travel to the states to train them in May full-time. I wrote to Matt Fortin he had coach at that place where the program in one of the places where the program was run and I asked him if that's a good idea and he said yes my partner at the time as well supported that there was just kind of a thing things were laying laying out in a way where I was like oh this is a good sign this is a good sign and I don't like the word signs I think it sounds too mystical but just kind of events which support that idea and to come back to the main story main narrative that happened with this thing so far there are a few different events where the idea of exploring the philosophy of Aikido looking deeper into it and asking myself well how could it be practical it it kind of drew me into it and also I got those events which showed me that there might be something there not only for me but also for others. So I will definitely talk to you more about that and before I get to the next step I wanted to make sure to mention that that doesn't mean I'm interested in reinventing the physical side of Aikido. At the moment to say the least I am not inspired about that I did try to make Aikido chronicle functional to make it a into your martial art which works and delivers the philosophy through physical moment you know defending yourself without hurting others. My conclusion was that it's not worth it there are other effective martial arts who are already out there know why I reinvent the bicycle and if you do try to make Aikido functional my conclusion was that it will end up looking like other martial arts which are already functional. So just to say in a short way that's not what I'm inspired about the technical side Aikido techniques I'm not that interested in hyped about it but at the same time the philosophy I see that there could be some unique value there and not only value but something that potentially I could chip into significantly. This also relates to my personal journey if you're following this channel the journey you probably know that it's so far it's a lot about documenting my own exploration of what value I could give to people and one of the discoveries that stuck with me through this exploration is the is focusing on your strengths. It's focusing on things that you uniquely could deliver and that usually will rely on your strengths and strength that that's a mix in my opinion of your own personal capacity or I guess more would be your own personal qualities. Let's say if you're a patient person or if you prefer if you prefer writing over filming videos if you prefer writing versus speaking all of that and the other part is your expertise is where you spent where you invested most of your time and receiving certain knowledge because the more time you spend digging into the same place and into the same area the more unique knowledge and experience you will find there and the more valuable it will be to others that's one of the core philosophies I have that I apply all the time in my life and without a doubt I spent most of my life training and learning and practicing Akira. There was yoga there was meditation but Akira was definitely the clearest path that I spend most time in and now not not to come to an idea that oh that's why that's the reason why I you know I should that's the sole reason why I should continue exploring the philosophy Akira just because I spent a lot of time and it's downer to let go of it of course it's kind of a downer you know it was crazy it was it's almost weird and crazy that after more than a decade of constant practice and having Akira as my main livelihood I dropped it I know that that's part of the reason why people appreciate my my journey that I did that and I would be fine in continuing doing that as long as I don't see value in it but this is this is exactly what makes this point of my life interesting it's because part of me is trying to recognize that there might be something there which first of all could be valuable in my life which I cannot stress enough how important that seems for me to be meaning that I one of the reasons why I don't like the whole self-help world culture which is intending to criticize that on my on this channel eventually is because it's usually very presumptuous self-centered it's it's a lot about taking things which sound good and sound like they work and just throwing it on others without really embodying it yourself that's the last thing I want to do and for me it's very important that it's been for years very important that whatever I teach or give to others that I make sure that it would be an integral part of my own practice in my own life and that if it if if the potentially applied practical side of the acuto philosophy if that if that will not be practical in my life that will not show significant results then there's no point in looking at it first of all it needs to be applied in my practice now that's also there's another thing that's important to stress and that's the recognition that I have some guests here that they're conditioned that if it's only working for me that's also not a way to go I mean if it's practical for me and it works for me great but if there would be a part of the journey to kind of share the wisdoms here the experience the knowledge to gather knowledge from practicing it I would want to make sure not to make the mistake of considering that oh it works for me that means it works for everyone that's not a good way to go either it has to be universally practical but the first step undoubtedly for me is check how practical it is for you how much can you apply to your life and how valuable and inseparable from your life it becomes so it wouldn't be just about going and tutoring others but instead may be potentially showing an example so one more thing I wanted to introduce to you in this video which I'm intending to make a part of the title and I always like to say that you know the initial title might change as I produce the video by the way it brings coffee so part of the video that I wanted to introduce to you is also considering the the way the IQO philosophy already impacted my life and how what kind of a rough and crazy journey it went through and I won't go on repeating the whole journey for you but I wanted to look kind of at the psychological aspect of it which I honestly don't think I spoke so much about which I want to stress it here because that is the direct leading path to the next step of this and that is the recognition that IQO was such a big part of not only my life but also of my identity I was living the IQO philosophy I used to wear my IQO clothes way more than probably technically I should have you might know that I used to walk around in the city sometimes with it not to show off just because it was it felt practical for me it was easier for me to walk with it than without it and trying to get concerned I'll burn off bad by sitting here in the sun we might move a few minutes to a different place into the shade anyway though coming back to the main point the part the IQO was such a big part of my identity I was I definitely looked like an IQO guy and if you followed my journey you know that you know I looked like a very much traditional IQO guy and then I went on to how people expressed it in the comments saying that I turned into looking like a typical MMA guy you know tattoo short hair etc but but now I just really feel comfortable this way I'm not trying to represent anything but but it shows again that how much IQO was part of my identity and when I left it when I separated especially in regards to me being part of the IQO community a lot of my friends were doing IQO my mentor back in the day was an IQO guy and the philosophy was based so much on the IQO philosophy that when I started to see the dark side of it it was really really difficult not to throw it all the way at the same time and I acknowledged even on record that I do admit that most likely I threw the baby with the bathwater you know that it was almost impossible for me not to drop away the good parts or the bad parts just to kind of rediscover myself because I think to a degree and I spoke about that in some of the videos here on this channel there was also a bit of a cult-wide vibe where I was involved in and and the identity was my identity was built around that and when I dropped it that that belief system was such a structural part of me that it was hard to see the good things in it they were so tied up for me with the bad things the negative things yeah that when I let when I abandoned IQO I took me some time took me a few months but eventually after about a half a year I started to realize the separation especially with my past mentor and the community that I was a part of which actually we pretty much didn't have any contact whatsoever anymore just crazy you know that showed me the dark side of it because pretty much nobody contacted me after I left that community but when I left it I started to realize that was actually a painful experience it was kind of like some people associated with the same as leaving a religion which I guess would be a similar experience but the troublesome part for me was beforehand I was relying a lot on the IQO philosophy in my decision-making and my value structure and suddenly I threw it all away and I kind of felt naked which in a way it was a good thing because I could rediscover myself but it took me quite some time additionally to start looking back at what I learned for those for that decade and asking myself so what's the good in it and every time I would look at it was so difficult for me to see the good in it so difficult to separate it from the bad but eventually slowly bit by bit I'm still on on that process I could say I'm starting to look at it you know you know if I separate this part from that part actually there might be something valuable there that wasn't all that bad and it's kind of a fascinating process and it's kind of the process that I'm in right now another part of that was also me these days looking back at how I was and how I became to be and I just don't know how much I spoke about this on record to be honest I might have said it but make sure it stayed here that in the past that was much more idealistic which came also with a lot of being a lot of naivety oh shade finally so yeah it came with a lot of naivety I really felt like I was you know and I I recognized that I was a naive young guy but also you know I went straight from high school into a full-on a keto community so not that you can really not that I can really blame myself for that but I lacked a lot of experience so so I was very idealistic but also not very mature in some aspects another yes in some especially the world the aspects not really always start the camera because the timer is going up with time as I became disillusioned with the a lot of promises a lot of false promises of like you know my past mentors it wasn't I'd got disillusioned not only by my last a keto instructor but also my first one I became disillusioned about the whole community that I was a part of I was like high up I saw a lot of the dark sides of it that I did not recognize before and then also I went on to this per se war with like keto online which I think was my own heroes journey if you allow me to say that where I not only did I try to make sense of what happened to me and to make sure it wouldn't happen again but also kind of including others in it making sure that others wouldn't experience the same mistakes that I did but that also came for a very negative point of you not only for myself but also there were I got a lot of crap from a bunch of keto representatives you know I was critical and they were even more critical towards me and then I would that would piss me off and I would hit them back and they would hit me back and then eventually I came up to a point where I was like holy crap this is getting out of hand but through that all experience I have to admit that not only did I become much less idealistic but also I became much more cynical I also became much more skeptical of ideologies practices of people which I think that's the one which I'm least happy about and I can understand now with a certain sense of maturity with more life experience with more critical thinking I can see you know why sometimes it's I think it's justified to not trust people too much or to be a bit skeptical about masses of people but that also took away a great power from me which I think a part of me misses that faith that hope I believe I guess you could say that people can be better that people are not hopeless that you can make a difference and the reason I'm saying this all to you because it is deeply associated with the way I perceive the like what Akito philosophy is so I spoke about the Akito philosophy in that video you know what is Akito philosophy and why it fails so you might check it out or you might you know you might have seen it already so I'll try to make sure not to repeat myself but but I'll just say a few important points and one of those points in what Akito philosophy is is the recognition that you're part of a greater whole and I don't want to sound whoo-hoo but but there's also what's interesting is if you look at it rationally to great degree it's true that's what kind of makes it fascinating I don't think if the focus is right in my camera shoot I can't see oh no I'm wasting your time I guess anyway so there is a practical sighted that even just rationing if you look at it especially these days the fact that we're all connected is more evident than ever you know if the economy is hit in one place it the economies hit in almost the whole of the rest of the world we are also much more similar than we think and I think that's actually one of the things which people need to become more conscious of something that I'm opposed to is the fact that we tend to present only the positive side of our life and that creates the illusion that everyone is doing great and I'm not and I'm the only one who's suffering which is not that like that at all but when you look back at the Akira philosophy and you consider that notion of we are all part of a greater whole that starts to make a shift in your decision-making process because if I realized that if I if I consider more because if I consider that we're all related that we're all part of the same family that makes one much more empathetic and that makes you could be next one consider much more the perspective of the other person the easy way is to disassociate yourself from everyone to say okay he's stupid and he's stupid he's in that case he's hopeless he's different and not to consider what's the point of you are a person of how did he came to that point to that conclusion to that action decision thought of line but when you consider that it starts to create a certain bridge it starts to create a bridge where you can meet because you're not separate anymore if you're opposed and I hope I'm not talking too much of a highly fashion like to do high-level advanced and you know getting ahead of myself but I hope this is understandable I'll give you examples maybe but thing is if you if you associate yourself from another person think okay he's stupid he's hopeless he will never get it there's no meeting point you cannot there's it's pretty much impossible that you will ever that you will ever be able to get something across that person meanwhile if you ask yourself okay so how did that person get there you know what if I was in his place what would I want myself to do to me if I was in his place what would be the best thing if you consider all of those points suddenly there's a meeting point where you can realize where he's coming from and maybe you can find a middle point where you're like actually you know what they're standing there and I'm talking from direct experience it's funny because despite the fact that I abandoned like you know completely at the same time some of my some of the people that follow my journey noticed and point it out in my YouTube comments that I did apply the mentality of like you know more than once and that was actually very evident in some of the videos I made but also in some of the comments and you know usually the comments is not a great place for seeking of truth we can get into endless debates where nothing good happens and I've been down that road too but there were some cases where I went in that like into that IQ no mindset and I asked myself you know where is this person coming from what would be best for him to hear his evolution and when I did that I did get across to some people I did reach a point where the person was like holy crap you know I'd actually am starting to see where you're coming from you know we wouldn't maybe come to an agreement of a 100% where we would see both I tie but we would develop a place of mutual respect where beforehand that person used to hate me and actually one of the most I've had numerous of those cases but the most significant one especially if you follow my journey you'll know and you'll be interested in this one is my relationship with Lenny Slye if you don't know who's Lenny Slye short version very intense very masculine Aikido instructor he's he has these strong opinions and then he went on record and said that he hates my guts he hated my guts like badly and one time we met in the comment session of Facebook I don't remember what it was but we started writing back and forth and I really was in that zone of Aikido mindset of not hating Lenny not being opposed to him but really seeing where he's coming from understanding him and and trying to help him see my perspective that we're actually not against each other we're on the same page we just have different approaches and it took a few hours of back and forth but eventually we clicked and then we called each other up we spoke like for three hours non-stop we called each other a few times again we made some videos together and he said numerous times you know what I consider you my friend and I'll always have your back and you know I feel very dearly about Lenny's wall I love him but it's interesting because we started off from a place where he used to hate my guts and he recognized himself that after that kind of Aikido approach he started to appreciate where I'm coming from we started to appreciate each other so that was actually a very Aikido move you know but that's only one example you know I could keep on going and obviously I don't want to make this video last forever that'll just give you a few more ideas about what that applied Aikido philosophy could be it's not only the mindset and how we relate to each other which I do want to say is would be crucial and so valuable to the current mindset of individuals I think we're getting there but you know I'm not a politician I'm not advanced in understanding the world events and I don't want to have a strong opinion about it but but you know it doesn't come far you don't need to go far to kind of perceive and see the chaos that sometimes we experience especially these days because of our sense of separation because of not relating to each other and people often choose they violent responses and personally I don't think that leads to any practical value just going and bashing out windows and creating chaos I don't think that's a solution at all again I could see where those people are coming from but it's not a mature response and in such a in such case in such environment to add that Aikido mindset Aikido philosophy it could work wonders now the one of the reasons I'm interested to revisit the subject and to explore it is because in the past I was you know all fluffy and positive and I lacked a sense of that darkness to be able to relate to it more and to recognize that the shortcomings which is crucial in any exploration and now and more in that dark mindset of being cynical and realistic some would say but what if we would find the middle there what if we would find the Union Union between these two things I as I kind of pointed towards that idea I do miss that I that idealism that I used to have that faith that belief in people and the and the nature and the positive nature of human beings in the capacity of human beings to develop evolve become better to rediscover themselves I love to be a part of that evolution of individuals not not forcefully but in a very pragmatic and practical way and so it might be a long journey it might be something which will require a lot of energy but it might it just might be worthwhile and one more part about the Aikido philosophy which attracts me it's not only that that union that kind of interrelatedness perspective but also the founder Aikido used to speak a lot about our mission that we he would one of my theory quotes used to be he would say that we all that each individual has his mission each family has his mission and each country has its mission like a collective and that is our responsibility to fulfill that mission now it is somewhat of a bit of a mystical statement and it's it's complicated to directly point out what does that mean where does this mission come from and there's so many questions that pop up but I used to really hold dearly that that idea and I used to feel like I have a mission and that used to drive me dramatically I still do you feel a sense of a mission but but also being so pragmatic being having that questioning mind that critical mind it's much more difficult to tap into that mentality because as I said all those questions come up so where is that that mission come from who gives you that mission is one person's mission more important than another it's just so many questions but the thing is I also feel and it's actually from a video that Linda Heffernan sent to me who I had a talk with about cult mentality about young Carlyon where he points out that he suspected that one of the reasons why a lot of people feel so alone and so confused and so down is because yes we did lose religion most of us did let go of religion of faith I think it's a good thing to degree you know I'm not religious either but he was pointing out that the way I proceeded the way I understand and I and I like to agree with that idea that we do need to believe in something that it's inherent in human beings to require certain belief system and I'm not necessarily saying a religion but something to believe in and when I dropped like you know I dropped away a whole belief system and thank goodness you know it helped me with discovering myself and we discovered some great answers but some a part of me also feels like I'm I miss pardon me misses something that I would strongly believe in that I would allow myself to believe in and hopefully that obviously would be a practical pragmatic effective belief but I almost feel like a part of me needs something to believe in and that notion of what the Kitos founder suggested that that mission-based belief I think it would have to be very cautious in how we would approach it to make sure it wouldn't become a belief which would make us blind or irrational but to have but to believe in something which give you a sense of a greater purpose and again it's just such it's such a fine line I so much want to make sure it doesn't become a religion or a cult or something like that but it would all best do in intention do you I feel that sense of us having a purpose would also a good purpose a constructive purpose would be very valuable to a lot of individuals a lot of people to our society tar yet are the human beings to the collective and individuals so part of me is interested to look at that aspect of the Akito philosophy as well in the best way possible and there was the very last thing on my mind that I wanted to share and slick me it put my mind usually that means I need to drink some coffee shit with something smart and important let me see I'll make a short break I'll turn off the camera because I need to restart it and I'll see if I can come back on it all right I got it I remembered I thought I almost lost it but I remember and this is a big one an important one but I'll do my best not to make it forever and then you know hopefully I will still live for a while and I'll have chances to record more videos about the subject and deepened this exploration and making more effective but the point that I wanted to come across was something that I was considering a lot about was when I dropped Akito I feel I became destructive I use destruction man I really don't want to sound boo-boo but I feel like these words help me express myself so let's see for the sake of it let's continue so so I feel like I became destructive you know I bashed Akito to pieces I destroyed it and broke it down into parts to see what works what doesn't work primarily what doesn't work and I was in that kind of negative state which is powerful and also to you know I learned MMA which is also a very destructive you know I love them they're there's so much good about it and was in Jitsa too but but there's also that destructive nature there you're punching each other you're kicking each other it's it's part of it is about destroying the other person and it gave me a lot of power but lately I've started to feel like I'm starting to miss that constructive aspect in my life now I delivered I do consider that I delivered significant value through that destructive process through breaking down disillusioning people sharing the negative sides of things but also starting to miss a sense of creating something I'm not you know inventing a new bicycle but just delivering something which would be more tangible which would be more passable more useful more usable directly I don't know maybe I'm you know still too vague and you know this is a very early stage of this and the reason I made this recording is to capture this live exploration things will become more clear but I want to make this into a historic moment into a journey and lesson of all of us together but it's yeah it's still an early stage and it will take time to define things to name them to find the pros cons and most effective ways but but yeah part of me wants to look more at something which is more directly giving more tangible and like your philosophy a lifestyle based on the cure philosophy and the best possible way in the most efficient pragmatic way might be part of that answer so we'll see so let me know in comments what you think about all of this are you getting excited is this interesting to you I do advise don't rush to judgment as I said this is very early stages you know and it's still hard to specifically you know use the right vocabulary for this I want to make sure that to bring this across that I'm not looking into the Voo stuff of it I really want to still be practical pragmatic but I do feel there's some potential and I'm eager to explore it and to look at what it could be my life and the life of others we'll see where this goes this will not be the only direction that I'm taking on this will just be one of my products projects I'm eager to explore the various other subjects to you and I will continue doing that but but this most likely turn into a one of my directions so let me know what you think about that and the very last thing probably the haters already left the haters never watched the full video and the comment early but I just want to point out for the sake of it that you know I I'm not looking forward for the people who would be like oh we knew you will come back to a kiddo oh now you understand that I kiddo was always the best no I don't think I kiddo was the best I think there's some good things to I kiddo but there's a lot of crap I'm still a post-it doesn't mean that I'm all lovey and fluffy now that doesn't mean that I don't recognize the shorts short hands of it short sights and that I'm I'm saying that I was wrong what I am saying is that there might be something there which might be worthwhile bringing up and making more practical not physically but mentally so we'll see where this goes thank you for watching as always and keep questioning


Well, it's that time of year when I'm very busy in the conservatory planting lots of seeds and One of the tools that I found very useful for me in this process is biodynamics. Now biodynamics Has a lot of stuff going on around it. It's rooted in Steiner's work from 100 odd years ago and Some of the language can be quite interesting and there's a straight few strange recipes in there now I first came across it when I was teaching in Sweden and I went to teach a course permaculture course in conjunction with some nature awareness and the person who was living there taught the nature awareness bit I taught the permaculture bit and Essentially, there was a big wooden barn that was our space and there was no refrigeration in it so all the food came in and it sat around for a few days and then eventually we would eat it and One of the I remember one day we looked at this lettuce, which was about five days old and Picked it up and said look this looks like it's still in the ground. It looked absolutely amazing It was so such an amazing lettuce We had a picture taken of us with this lettuce in between It had not been in the fridge or anything but five days after it had been Delivered, let alone who knows when cut. It just looked this vibrant thing that you would love to eat So I thought well, definitely worth investigating it. Other people have come to me and said biodynamics Yeah, that's really interesting So I thought I started playing with it But I'm playing with it on a very basic level because there's a vegan quite a lot of the recipes Are a little bit strange involved, you know pigs gulls stuff with this flower head and such But there's there's a calendar a bio dynamic calendar and I very much use that so If you want to investigate some more so it comes from Maria toons bio-dynamic calendar So that's been going for quite a long time and here is the calendar and There's based on a bunch of things to do with the heavens and so on and There's also to do with the moon. I'm not going to go into the fine details This is just about why it works for me. So essentially what you have is four main categories Which you might put your seeds and based upon what is it you're wanting? So you have your roots your flowers your fruits and your leaves and On a given day, it will tell you which of those things to be planting or transplanting or doing things to And sometimes there's a big gray bar saying don't do anything because it would be really bad Now I still don't know it's early days for me I've done this for a year and since my second season it's early days to say does it make a difference and because we're growing food for ourselves I don't really have space for me to be experimenting and seeing well Does that grow better than this other one that I planted on a different day? I don't know the bit that does work for me is The organizational bit so what I've ended up doing is I've sorted my seeds into the different categories depending on what they are So firstly it makes seeds easier to manage. So what have we got at the front here? I probably haven't sorted this out yet. That's my Garden diary, so that's leaves. Okay, so Go to the back, which brings us to this fruit. Okay, that goes to the back Roots, okay, so today we're on roots So roots is in the front That's followed by flowers leaves and then fruits. Okay, so the way I remember it is If you start with then something begins with F. So flowers so flowers F L L is for leaf so flowers are followed by leaves Which is then followed by the other F, which is fruits, which is followed by FR roots Okay, so even if they get mixed up. I know where I'm supposed to be so in the front here. I have My roots, so parsnips Is right at the front because this is why I'm doing this month But I need to change this because it's just gone into May and then I have a card there So it's next month and beyond so if it's not this month that goes behind So every month I go through these which I will do in a moment and sort out. What is it? I'm sewing this month. So it's that it's really easy and then I can see well I've got to do this month and get on with it Now the bit that really works for me Is that if I look at the calendar the sewing calendar and it says okay You've got to sew this by five o'clock this evening or you got to wait for another nine days. I think Well, normally I couldn't be bothered but I'm not going to wait another nine days, so I'm going to do it now So I found it to be a really good motivational tool And I'm yet to see How much of a difference it makes to the planting but I do still remember that Biodynamic lettuce


If you were looking for a home security system, chances are you're looking at the Honeywell Lyric controller and the 2GIG GC3 wireless security systems. Today we'll be going in depth, comparing and contrasting these two systems. Please, if you have any questions, comments, or concerns, leave them directly below in the comments box, and keep in mind, GeoArm can take over your existing security systems, which saves customers time and money. The Lyric controller, which serves as the main control hub for the security system, still has a 7-inch touchscreen display, but has upgraded from the previous L7000 with a new screen resolution of 1024x600, and users, if they wish, can set up voice commands to verbally communicate to the Lyric controller to start for stop, security, or home automation functions. No other system has this capability on our list. Flexible monitoring features such as Wi-Fi only, cellular only, or dual-path communications. This gives the end users the choice to whether they want to sacrifice reliability for lower cost of our monitoring rates. Lyric has added a 2-megapixel front-mounted camera so that when the system is disarmed, it can text or email a notification to end users with the Wi-Fi communicator activated and Total Connect 2.0 services. With the Lyric controller, you can view up to 8 cameras with its dual quad-screen capabilities, which is unmatched. The Lyric controller has added a new line of wireless encrypted sensors called SIX sensors. The two major benefits of SIX technology is the encryption of all of its devices, and lastly, the new SIX smoke offers the one go all go feature.  Out of all the wireless systems GOR offers, the Lyric controller is the only system able to perform this task. Installation of the Lyric controller scores great remarks because all the end user has to do is slide the cellular communicator into place, install the backup battery, and decide whether they want to wall mount or desk mount the control panel. The only downside to the Honeywell Lyric security systems that we could find was the SIX series sensors are a little bit bulky and there's no option for an external hard-wire siren like there has been in the past. The 2GIG GC3 wireless security and automation system. With 2GIG being a well-respected company in the industry with their previous GC2 system, other companies began to release more modern and robust systems which meant it was time for 2GIG to release the GC3 system. GC3 moved to a much larger 7-inch touchscreen display with a screen resolution of 800x480. The navigational software has been upgraded to allow for much easier user interactions which has been a huge addition. Installation of the GC3 panel is very user-friendly. All end users will have to do is install the sled-style cellular communicator, wire the power transformer, and decide whether they want to table mount or wall mount the panel. Two points that we discovered about the GC3 that stand out from the other contenders are the GC3 has the loudest stock siren coming in at 105 decibels, panels on our list coming in at 232 total devices. The most expensive panel on our list and it falls short in some of the feature categories such as though the GC3 has an internal Wi-Fi card, at this point it's not quite activated which limits its overall communication paths.

Okay, using the graph above explain the adjustment that was made to the X-ray tube. The intensity for line B is lower than A, but the F-max is not changed. This indicates that the current applied across the cathode has reduced. When less electrons are boiled off the cathode, less electrons per unit time cross the X-ray tube, which results in less electrons hitting the target metal and therefore less X-rays being generated. If I got a point for writing less, I'd get a lot of points. There's also a key term here where I've written boiled off. That's kind of a technical term used with X-ray tubes where they release the electrons from the cathode and in doing so they actually heat the cathode up to make the electrons easier to release across the tube itself. So this is an example of presenting you the intensity frequency graph and making an alteration to it and seeing if you understand what's going on. More often than not, A would be down the bottom and B would be at the top and you'd have to say oh they've increased the current, but in this case they've done it the other way around. So you've always got to be on the lookout for taking the theory and maybe asking a question that you'd expect the other way around. When you're in exam conditions, this can be difficult. That's why it's important to practice as many exam questions as you can.


Hi, my name is Dr. Olivia Laines and I am the team lead of Education and Kisket Community in North America at IBM Quantum. I want to introduce Dr. Kayla Lee. The Academic Alliance Lead for IBM Quantum will be discussing the IBM HBCU Quantum Center with Dr. Makayla Amu from Howard University. In September 2020, we launched the IBM HBCU Quantum Center, which brings together a network of 23 historically black colleges or universities, or HBCUs. Since its launch, the IBM HBCU Quantum Center has over doubled our number of registered users on IBM Quantum systems, built a community of over 400 students, faculty, and researchers, and even published a few papers. I'm here today with Dr. Makayla Amu, assistant professor at Howard University in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Hi, Makayla. Hi, Kayla. How are you? I'm great. Nice to see you. Can you tell us a bit more about your research interests and how you've introduced those in coursework? A HBCU is actually difficult for students to get involved in quantum research, you know, because of barriers to entry for like AMO experiments or lack of resources. And so I'm actually a hardware engineer, a computer engineer, and I design applications specific processes. So basically, I speed up computations. And then people started to ask me, you know, I have this quantum system. When you do quantum control readout systems, you know, I can't read these readouts fast enough. Can we do some machine learning? And so that's how I got involved in quantum. And that's how I involve my students. So you mentioned that there are a lot of barriers to entry, specifically with HBCU students in undergraduate research. Can you say a bit more about why it's important that we create these research opportunities for students now, especially in a new field like quantum? A lot of quantum experiments take place in these very costly research labs, right? So the average stuff for an AMO and atomic molecular optical experimental lab is probably about half a million to a million. The equipment that are used in these labs are kind of custom built. You can't go to a store and buy it. The professors and the students kind of put it together themselves. And so there's this built-in knowledge at PWL primary and white institutions where they've spent years and years and years developing these highly, you know, specific research labs and this customized equipment. And HBCUs, because of lack of funding, because of lack of resources, there just isn't that sort of equipment or that sort of lab experience. And so it's really important that we enable minority underrepresented students the opportunity to actually go and perform research in these labs, or we give them a cloud experience so that they don't need to actually go to these labs to learn how to perform quantum experiments. They can do them right there and then at school using the laptops or the desktops. And so one of the great things that the IBM Center has brought to them are these cloud computing options where the students can literally log into the IBM cloud and use the IBM resources to build up this knowledge that they haven't been able to get from the home institution. So let's just hop forward a few years. What do you see as being some really great wins of the program, but also the experiences that you're bringing to students? First of all, we're introducing the students, right, to different areas so that they can find their own place, right, their own path. But then the other thing is there are resources, there are tutorials, there are labs, there are simulation circuits, so we're enabling them to get the research skills that they need if they want to go on to say graduate school or they want to go and work in an R&D lab. So one of the things that we do is we fund the researchers, we fund the professors and we also fund the students. So it's like a full package. And so the students get trained, they get really enthusiastic because many studies have shown that an undergraduate hands-on undergraduate research experience is one of the greatest ways to build self-efficacy, which is like a feeling of belonging, right? They feel like quantum scientists, right? And they get the research skills and they get really excited about what they're doing and so then they're going to go ahead, they're going to apply to graduate school or they're going to go work in research labs, right, or maybe come work for IBM and things like that. I mean, there's many different levels of the quantum workforce and we have to ensure that our students can fully participate in the quantum workforce because this is going to be the science of the 21st century. It's going to drive everything. Thank you so much, Mikayla, for joining us and talking a bit about how you've introduced research within the IBM HBCU Quantum Center. Looking forward, we're really excited to continue introducing students to quantum computing and also getting them excited for the future and what the IBM HBCU Quantum Center has to hold. Thanks and back to you, Olivia. Dr. Lee, Dr. Amu, thank you so much for that discussion and for the really important work that you're doing with this initiative. Now, I want to introduce Professor Steve Gervin, Eugene Higgins, Professor of Physics at Yale University, who will be sharing some thoughts and experiences that he's had using Kiskit in the classroom. Thanks, Olivia. In the classroom, I teach the basic concepts behind quantum information science. It's such a new field that there really doesn't exist a well-established textbook. And the Kiskit textbook, developed online by the Kiskit community, is growing into that role. It provides valuable supplementary information and background information and reading opportunities for the students, which complements the material that I cover in class and the way I describe things. It's very important for students to be able to see things from different points of view from a textbook and from the professor's lectures. The quantum workforce right now is still quite small. The demand is outstripping supply. And as the field develops, we'll need more and more people who are engineers or who are perhaps master's students rather than PhDs and even undergraduates who are contributing to the development of these new technologies. IBM has made tremendous investments in bringing quantum systems to the cloud, to the online world. Young people will have a chance to play with the hardware, try out things, hack around, figure out shortcuts, figure out ways to make it work better. And I think this is going to have a tremendous impact on the development of the field, both because progress will be made in the field, but also because so many people from such a wide range of backgrounds will now have access to get into the field. We're at the very beginning of an exciting new revolution in information processing using quantum technology. We're in what people call the NISC era, noisy intermediate scale quantum era. Our components, our quantum components are not nearly as reliable and close to perfect as the ones in your traditional computers. But we're working hard to build those in a better way to learn how to solve really the grand challenge in the field, which is quantum error correction, so that we can run quantum algorithms for longer and longer times and solve more and more complex problems and gain greater and greater quantum advantage over traditional forms of computation. I'm extremely excited about this challenge and impressed with the remarkable rate of progress in the field. Back to you, Olivia. Thank you so much, Professor Gervin. Figuring out how to best use Kiskit in the classroom and for courseware has always been one of our top priorities. Now I want to talk about how we're also going to be using IBM Quantum hardware and Kiskit, not just for educational purposes, but for research as well. Last year, IBM Quantum launched the Open Science Prize, a first-of-its-kind competition challenging members of our community to help solve important outstanding research problems in the field of quantum information. This contest promised a $50,000 award for the teams that presented the best open-source solutions to these problems. The first of the prize's challenges asked participants to decrease the error rate of the swap gate by 50%. The second challenge had participants trying to improve the fidelity of a seven-qubit graph state also by 50%. IBM Quantum researchers selected these challenges due to their solutions potential to make a tremendous impact on the field. We also wanted to encourage members of the Kiskit community to push their understanding of Kiskit as not just a valuable learning tool, but also as a window into doing cutting-edge research. In fact, some of our winners completed the challenge with little to no prior experience using Kiskit. For example, listen to this quote from challenge participant Yufeng Yi. I started this challenge with little to no experience with the Kiskit platform. It took me many hours just to run the example code successfully. But as part of trying to solve the graph state challenge, I slowly became proficient with all the functionalities of Kiskit. I also spent a lot of time diving into related papers by IBM Quantum researchers, which turned out to be excellent resources that taught me a lot about the state-of-the-art quantum error mitigation techniques. Now, I'm excited to announce that at the end of November, we'll be kicking off the Open Science Prize for 2021. This challenge will focus on an entirely different area of quantum research, quantum simulation. Quantum simulation was an idea that was actually first suggested by Richard Feynman in the 80s and has become a prominent area of research over the past few years and deals with simulating important real-world models with applications in chemistry, fundamental physics, and beyond. Actually executing a quantum simulation on a current quantum computer, however, can be difficult and error-prone. The quantum system we will explore this year is a spin-1-half model, where each qubit in the quantum processor represents a quantum spin-1-half particle in a one-dimensional chain. Quantum spin models have some amazing properties and uses. Computationally speaking, certain optimization problems can be mapped to spin models, theoretically giving quantum computers a computational advantage over classical computers. Furthermore, spin models can be used to probe the physics behind a variety of quantum behaviors, such as large entangled states, quantum phases of matter, and quantum many-body effects. However, these problems can also be difficult to simulate, which is why we are asking our community to help us. This year, we're hoping to encourage even wider participation among our community members of all different educational levels and backgrounds. So next month, along with our competition Jupiter Notebook, we will be publishing tutorials and supplementary materials that can hopefully bring everyone up to speed on the tools surrounding this experiment. We hope that you'll help us spread the word or even participate yourself, so that, together, we can push the limits of quantum computation. Thank you so much for your attention and enjoy the rest of the summit.


و أقولوا في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكريم المنزل و أقولوا قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهادي و لا أتأوله أسأل أسأل أنا أعتقد أن أقوم بعمل أبوه who has been Muslim for two and a half years هل سيكون أفضل أن أعمل أبوه or someone else who is more grounded in knowledge الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على عبد الله و رسوله نبينا محمد و على آله و صحبه أجمعين أعتقد أن عندما أحاول أن أعمل أبوه أنه مهم that you look at a wide range of factors و أن أقوم بعمل أبوه كثير من الأشياء في هذه الأسئلة ما أخبره هو أن هناك أبوه المصطف الهادي who has been Muslim for two and a half years هل سيكون أفضل أن أعمل أبوه or someone else who is more grounded in knowledge حيث أن ذلك لن يكون أفضل و أيضاً أنه يجب أن يكون أفضل أول شيء ما سنرى هو أنه سنرى أبوه المصطف الهادي لا أعتقد أن المصطف الهادي هو أبوه لكن المصطف الهادي سيكون أفضل من المصطف الهادي هو أبوه كثير من المصطف الهادي هو أنه يجب أن يجب أن يقوم بعمل أبوه every day في الحقيقة أنك ترى أن هذا هو أبوه بصبر Next أولاً أن المسليسة onto the knows من المصطف الهادي أجد صائح хватي و يجب أن يكن هوامذ جيد و نعاوين الأج Hitler معغي أنا أفضل رجال 형ance ليس لدينا كثير من السنة، لأن شخص يمكن أن يكون مسلم just two months or six months but could be really have become very firm in the religion and very dedicated to practicing and very consistent and trying their very best and learning actively surrounding themselves with good people. ليس لدينا كثير من السنة but it's down to or even down to the amount of knowledge per se but more to do with what they are doing with that knowledge and whether they're implementing it and whether they have the signs that they are actively trying to seek more and actively trying to grow within the religion. The second consideration is their character because there are people who are people of knowledge, they're people of goodness, people who are practicing the religion of Islam but in terms of character the character might not be the right person to marry so that could be down to the kind of softness of character, gentleness, patience, forbearance, kindness, consideration and things like that. The next thing to consider which I believe is extremely important is to consider compatibility. So compatibility is a very general word which basically means that the two of you will inshallah work you know the relationship would work you would be good together and that doesn't mean you have to be the same. It just means that you have to be comfortable. So the fact that you mentioned that this is a revert Muslim brother suggests that the person writing this question isn't a revert. So again you know the culture you are coming from within Islam, your family's cultural background, how much would that suit this revert Muslim brother would he manage it okay would they be really understanding and kind of make him comfortable or would he feel really out of place. Would he be expected to do things that he couldn't do. Again there's no fast you know perfect answer to that question for everybody because different families have different sort of expectations are your expectations consistent with this revert brother. So what you hope for and what you would love to happen and what you would want is that consistent with what where he is and where he wants and likewise the other way around in terms of your lifestyle in terms of your sort of goals whether it be financially whether it be children whether it be seeking knowledge whether it be traveled so on. Are they compatible with this brother so compatibility is really important are the two of you generally compatible in terms of you know your general sort of character culture and expectations and so on. That's also really important to look at to make sure you can be different but the important thing is compatibility. So I would say that those three things there are others but those three things are a good place to start. I would also urge you that if you do want to marry this revert Muslim brother who has been Muslim for two and a half years. I would honestly suggest that the communication is between him and between your father. If your father is not available for some reason then for him to have appointed someone to take that responsibility from your close relatives like a brother. For example. But ultimately if your father is around then it is his responsibility to talk to this brother. Don't reach out to him by yourself. Don't communicate with him by yourself because ultimately that's not going to bring you any barakah. It's not going to bring you any good. So my strong advice would be that if you want to approach his brother for marriage that you ask your father to approach him. And Insha'Allah this will be something like a way also to a safety net or a safeguard for yourself to make sure that you're making the right decision to have someone. Look over that decision and concur that this person in their religious commitment and in their character and in their compatibility is someone that would work for you. And my final piece of advice would be that if it does go ahead and you have the permission of your wedding, your father primarily, whoever else is your wedding to go ahead with the marriage that I would suggest that you do the niqah relatively quickly because delaying the niqah is something that we see from a lot of brothers and sisters that causes a great deal of trouble. Because there is a pressure on the couple to talk, to chat, to be free with each other, but they haven't yet done the niqah. So I would say to do the niqah as quickly as possible would be the way to go about it. So that would be my advice on that particular question. And Allah has said which one was best. If you have any questions you'd like to see answered as part of this series and you can email us at questions at amau.org


R. Shastri, Retired Emeritus Fellow, Department of Mathematics, IIT Bombay. I am going to present this course on Algebraic Topology, Part 1, under this NPTEL portal. My team members are Dr. B. Subash Aishwarya Thirupati, Dr. K. Ramesh IITM, Vidhan Paul, Shiva Shankar, Vinay Sipani, all from IITM. This course is presented in 62 modules of approximately 30 minutes each in a span of 12 weeks. Along with these slides and lectures, there will be a number of live sessions for doubt clearing sessions. The content of the lectures can be divided into these seven chapters you may call Introduction, Fundamental Group, Functions-Paced Apology, Relative Homotopy, Simplicial Complex is Part 1, Simplicial Complex is Part 2, and Covering Space and Fundamental Group, and Covering Space and G Coverings and Fundamental Group. I will be assuming that the student of this course is well acquainted with the rudiments of point set topology. Also this course is at the level MSc, therefore a certain amount of mathematical maturity will be resumed. We have strived hard to bring this advanced subject to your door by giving some completely elementary treatment to this one and also explaining beyond all written textbooks. The one good reference for this material is my own book on basic algebraic topology. However, I will give you along with all the material in this cover in the PDF format in which there will be further references for further study. As far as the present course is concerned, the duration of the present course you can stick to those notes which will be available on the NPTEL website. Thank you.

Okay, let's do a gas law problem now. So this one says, a sample of hydrogen gas in a closed container has a temperature of 37 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 2.00 ATM. What will the pressure be if the sample is heated to 127 degrees Celsius? Okay? So this is effectively gain-lose-sax law, so it's one of the laws that you can get from using the ideal gas law. So remember, in this case, as we've got a change, we're going to do pv equals nRT over pv equals nRT, right? So, okay, R never changes. Okay, so look here. Did p change? Did p change? Did p change, guys? Yes. Yes, okay. So can we cancel it out? No. Okay, did p change? No. No, can we cancel it out? Okay, did n change? No. Can we cancel it? No. Did t change? Yes. Can we cancel it? No. So our new equation is p1 over p2 equals t1 over t2. So what are we looking for? p2. So let's rearrange this equation. So p1 t2 equals p2 t1, right? So p2 equals p1 t2 divided by t1. The other thing, these temperatures are in degrees Celsius. So we've got to do what? Convert them to Kelvin. Good job, guys. So 273 plus 37 is going to be 310 Kelvin, and 273 plus 127. So that's 300, 400, p2, p1, 2.00, atm, t1, 310 Kelvin. Divided by t2, 400 Kelvin, divided by t1, 310 Kelvin. 400 divided by 310, and the pressure I get is 2.58. And atm is the unit. Why do we just cancel with Kelvin? Any questions on that? So this is a loose-x law problem.


People are saying that they are not wise, them they are saying that I think they are the ones that are not wise because everybody, even the baby, they would like to live this country, the way this situation is right now, Nigeria and even Mia would like to jack back. No, no, no, that's about to come back, no place like home. That side is not helpful. I don't think they are coward, they have their reason for running, because like you all understand before, whenever the place they went to is not okay with them, they will come back and say no place like home. They are not coward, they are just going there to look for what, they are just looking for their greener pastures, that's just it. So for us that are here, we don't say have the money but I think it's great to go to help us. That's your choice, I won't call them coward, but I kind of feel like I will save like millions of nera because you want to travel out and at the end of the day, what if, because people need to have this thing in their mind, what if at the end of the day they deport them back, where do they want to start from? Well, I won't actually see people that run away from the country are coward, instead of they went to seek for greener pastures. And those people in Nigeria won't say they are brave, instead of where you see what you are looking for, how do I put it, where you see what makes you better, that's where you stick. I actually don't think it's cowardice, I think it is cowardice to actually stay back and watch something you cannot do anything with and keep staying. If you have an opportunity to go and to make yourself better, to come and tackle what is here, why not? Well having heard what the people have to say, I mean there are diverse opinions at this point and trust me every one of these opinions are very valid. The people living Nigeria at the moment, do they have their good reasons for living Nigeria at the moment? Well, I more than think so if you ask me. But then again, those who are not living Nigeria at the moment, some are into the fact that they can't afford it at the moment and then some are into the fact that they are just really patriotic and they don't want to live Nigeria as well, people like me. However, I always pray every day for a better Nigeria because it feels like the economy is working against its own people but we can only pray for the best. Well, this is what I, you say it and of course we are getting opinions of people on the streets. Thank you for watching Best Cities. This is your girl, Oluwa Damilo. Until next time. It's safe to say that Nigerians are generally patriotic people. They are proud of their country's rich culture and history and they are willing to work hard to make Nigeria a better place. However, there are many challenges facing Nigeria such as poverty, corruption and insecurity. These challenges can sometimes dapple Nigerians patriotism and continues to contribute to the increasing immigration of Nigerians to other countries in search of greener pastures. Deli Farotimi has however said that the Nigerians live in Nigeria accounts. So we are asking, do you agree? Let's hear what you have to say. Remember you can join the conversation. Send us an SMS or WhatsApp to 081 083 846 63. Tweet at us at Weissho Africa 1 with the hashtag Weissho. Hi ladies. So, I mean we had what everyone had to say and to a large extent I agree with everybody. Someone had said that there is a reason why Nigerians are running and when he said running, I'm like, you mean fleeing because people are literally leaving the country every day. They are going through various means. People are searching for the best way to live, the fastest way to live. All they want to do is to get out of the country and that's because of what is happening in the country. The economic state is really crazy. I was having a conversation with my friend today she said that her uncle, she said that he wasn't expecting this. She said, what do you mean? He said, what he said was he was voting for Emiloko and she said, but I told you, right?  We suffered enough and if you can't see the suffering that has gone on in the past at least look to the future and see that things might not change and even before this present government a lot of Nigerians have been suffering. So it is start now. It's something that has been ongoing for years since I was born till today. That's what I'm saying, since I was born till now I am getting old. I have never seen the country getting better. So the truth is, I am older now and people are still complaining. The complaint is a lot. You realize that family members are leaving, friends are leaving and the honest truth is it might not be as rosy as that over there the grass might not be too green but to a certain extent it is green. It is greener than Nigeria. For some people, we know that sometimes people actually go there and paint it and make it look like it is rosy, it is juicy. Once you get to the abroad, you get to the UK, US or wherever immediately in months you are making money and you are leaving lavish. But then the honest truth is, that's not the case.  And that's really sad. The fact that we have gotten to this level because ideally your country is your first identity and your country should have your loyalty your patriotism, your best wishes your prayers, all of it. No matter what you do to an American they will say God bless them.  Do you understand that they have grown to that place where they have sought faith in their country. So now back to the question which is, are Nigerians cowards for leaving? First of all, no, I don't think they are cowards. And then we look at what is the situation of the country. Yes, you highlighted it. But also looking at the fact that oh my goodness, I think I had a blackout. Absolutely, okay. You don't stay loyal to people when you don't feel like they love you. They value you. I have said a lot of things which I agree with him but on this particular issue of being a coward I do not. Because he talked about levies and taxes he also talked about the public figures and how they make fun of the low income enners allow them to breathe and all or not. And those things hurt. There is a certain threshold people can hold on to. You can be a freedom fighter you can carry Nigerian in your head every other person should do the same. There were people who came out and fought for answer they ended up losing people it broke them. What did they do? They carried their bags and left. There were people like DJ Smith that she was here and for a long time she was been what's the word like they were looking for her so she had to leave as a refugee to Canada and I think she's still there right now. So yes, these people, they are not cowards there are so many reasons why people even our leaders that I did not flee in Nigeria for medical reasons. Because Nigerians who are living ideally you are giving an example of your friend that left because have daughter needed stem surgery so she had to leave and move there.  So that's a bit extreme. Let me come to you easy. What are your thoughts and Nigerian cowards were living? Apart from being cowards we are far from being cowards actually I enjoyed watching that interview but when it got to that part I didn't quite that didn't quite go well with me because we have a lot of questions that we need to ask and these questions need to be answered and how do we ask those questions I can start with the salient questions such as why are they leaving what means are they leaving with what are the reasons that they are leaving and where are they going do they feel that when they leave Nigeria they would have better they will walk into a greener pasture and we also have to ask the question can we die for Nigeria if we want to say okay we are patriotic Nigerians can we die for Nigeria the questions are much but we need to also understand this that living in Nigeria you have to be resilient you have to be determined you have to be independent you have to learn to think outside the box of what the economy or the environment is throwing at you you need to think outside the box and that has made us as Nigerians quite resilient in everything we do and when we go outside we excel in so many ways can I bring it back home and say that the country has groomed us in such a way that when we find ourselves outside the shores of the country we can actually hold our own without anybody instilling any sort of fear in us so again is it cowardice? no it isn't cowardice it is survival Nigerians are trying to survive in any form in any way they find themselves and that is why if it means they have to travel abroad to survive and have the level of sanity that they think they deserve they would if the thing that it can stay back and face the jungle like everybody is facing it they would face the jungle so it is all relative to the reasons why they are staying or they are going but again there are lots of questions that need to be answered and yes there are a lot of answers that need to be given to Nigerians to give them that reason for them to stay back because they feel that the country has been excellently or exceedingly good to them alright do you know I am going to come to you next well let's take a short break I will see you shortly if you are just tuned in it is our ladies night out and we are discussing daily Faroutini's comments on ways exclusive where he said that Nigerians live in Nigeria are cowards do you agree please let us hear what you have to say remember you can join the conversation send us an SMS or whatsapp<PHONE_NUMBER>3 so we are also at wayshow Africa one with the hashtag wayshow our phone line is now open please call us on 0700 25 007749 I will take that again 0700 25 007749 please remember to turn down your TV set so Jella over to you well I think that saying that Nigerians are cowards for living the country is a very it is like an over simplified answer to a complex situation as a matter of fact I would say that it takes absolute courage to live in Nigeria to go live abroad I agree you are leaving the comfort that you know you are leaving the people that you love you are leaving a lot you are leaving this this being you know so well you are leaving the security of being in your father's land because if anything happens I mean you can make one or two calls right there is that security you know your family is here and all that and then you are going to some place where you probably have never been and then you are starting life afresh with new laws with a new culture you have no idea about with a new life in such a way that you may suffer ridical because you are probably speaking in a way they don't understand there is that there is the fact that you don't even know how they shop it's as simple as that you don't know how to communicate it's as simple and these things can give you this sense of depression right you may get there you don't have a job but you still say that you know what for this reason I choose to just want facts all over again that's absolute courage so you I'm not sure that it is right okay do not hold that thought we have a call we have a caller young guest old man can you hear us how are you fine good evening long time how are you let's hear what you have to say it's a really the world do live in Nigeria in the sense of that part there are cowards from they are about to meet they are about to meet someone that I do know to you just whatever I know that man is someone that speaks from his heart and speaks in a different fashion sometimes when I see him talk I immediately remember a lot you know he talks directly he talks to the soul and is a real somebody but in this case I define him 100% I don't really see it the way see it I don't really know what brought up to his own perspective or whatever rather I would have I would have now I'm not going to say that those that are investing are brought are cowards but no those that are going are brought together to better life to come home back to better their people at home not to prove in fact in very hard for somebody to leave their loved ones so my home married they leave their kids and their wife see you need to think with somebody abroad they have great perspective and see their emotions that come out from whenever I speak to them at home these guys miss home they feel in fact let me tell you they suffer more than we do you need to get one and speak with them but we can openly they are brought up and talk to them at work these women miss home they feel that they are more correct than us about issues that happen here sometimes a guy one of my friend you know he would say I am worried about this place he is not even saying like when where how me when they said I am going here he was saying I am giving you here I am saying I should change this and this and this and when you go there is true so when he said they are cowards for me I totally this I don't believe one and a fifty five percent but i love that man and he made me understand a lot of things from a different perspective but for this one those that left this country they left this country because they see a place that is making them go much and they are okay why is it that most people that lives here and go there you see them more productive because the enable development allows them to be productive thank you youngest old man i honestly agree with him well let me finish let me let you finish yeah so i mean i i think that um again you see on the on the flip side you you may want to look at where he is coming from yeah he's looking at see that okay if everybody leaves you are going because people did work to make that environment conducive if we all go if we all leave then we'll build nigeria but we will not all leave let's just shut that down right there we will not there will always be a remnant even if it's a real rapture there will still be a remnant so we will not all leave i know but of course we all know that mr deli faruti is a is a passionate person about nigeria and i want to say that i am i'm almost certain that he's speaking from that angle you know but even at that even at that the truth is not everyone would would put in the work to make the country better that's that's your next truth yeah even in playing in civilized countries of the world every day we still see violence erupting every day we still see people breaking the law people making you question the fact that right truly want to go and live in this country so that would always people people migrate for different reasons yeah all over they migrate from developed countries of the world to other countries yeah people live america to go and live in kenya yeah there was actually a couple that recently they migrated for they were in the news i think see it and they migrated from the us to go live in anthillie their reason was because they were tired of the gun violence in the us yeah so people migrate for different reasons so i think saying cowards that's a bit stretching it you know i think it's a sensitive yeah it's i think it's a sensitive you there's one thing sorry there's one thing to be passionate there's also another thing for you to be insensitive i understand where you're coming from but like sanzi said we cannot all be here right not everyone will leave if you look at the income level or the income gap not a lot for someone to be a store away in a ship or in a plane you should know that they cannot afford to buy a flight ticket that person is suffering so when you have a government who does not care about its people you're not doing anything to better the lives of people and somehow somewhere someone is expecting them to be patriotic someone is expecting them to be courageous and to stay very sensitive for people to stay you know i mean if you if you look at the technical professions the health workers different countries all over the world i mean those are their priorities because they know that if anything happens these are their frontline you know but in nigeria every day and then you come as a lawmaker or the government you just come and say people are leaving i would expect that if you're saying that you're looking towards transformation or you're looking towards progress do something to change the narrative the first thing you will do is to say okay you know what let me even say god the technical and the professional people in the country thanks let me offer some level of incentive for them to stay let me make it more attractive for them to be here rather than because again you do know that when people in medical field when they leave nigeria going abroad they're going to start all over again yes so the time i am sure they will rather stay here i am sure because i mean you look at your age you look at a lot of things you've earned well in nigeria you live in a good place comfortable and you're leaving to go and start all over a lot of people would rather not do that yeah so if they are doing that you need to sit yourself down and ask and and i mean and there was something that was said about people living when she was you know questioning his comments she was like people are leaving because they want to get empowerment yeah right and coming from the economic hardship perspective there is better reward for labor outside of this country it is true because i've seen it happen i know people when they were here they were making let's say maybe two hundred dollars in in in a month or maybe in a year they're making let's say one thousand five hundred dollars right but that in a year they're making yes there are built they're making maybe like three thousand dollars so much higher eight thousand dollars and these are people in tech that the banks are using and you're paying the one fifty and then you find your way and legally move abroad and you're only as much as seven thousand five hundred dollars in a month right and then is he said something um i think he said something about discipline that sometimes nigeria is a proprietary ground for these people because you can hold that we have a caller hello good evening hi thank you for calling hi my name is karen hi karen let's show what you know to see i i think you are for this opportunity for us to contribute to this discussion yeah i respect this benefit to me is one of those who are doing their best for our country and i cannot see where he's coming from but there are loads of us who have left nigeria for decade and we miss nigeria desperately there's no place like nigeria so it's not my choice that we chose to be elsewhere rather than stay and help build our country it's not my choice we wish nigeria would be different wish nigeria would be kind to both citizens how many of these CEOs that you see on tv part of themselves whether in the form of bank or private sector how many of them really do help how many of them really do give both the part of themselves like they're helping they don't and how many of these like big men would help while theorists who have ideas they want to sleep with us how many students both universities and their lecturers want to sleep and even in the secondary school nigeria is so corrupt that we have no choice we love nigeria more than anything on the base of the earth i win every day i want to come back to nigeria like loads of millions of us and i respect that it's hard to be and i see his point but nigeria is wicked to those people and we're not happy where we are here i pray for nigeria and i pray that nigeria will stay and i pray that god will stay in nigeria i thank you all for all that you do also you are there and have been you're fantastic and you give us hope and i pray that nigeria will come out of this rock of writing thank you so much thank you thank you karen thank you i like what she said right i remember talking to a friend of mine who has been in canada for a long time and she chose a particular christmas to come back home she came back and she stayed for about five months she had to quit her job there and she stayed back she said you know what i need a break and all this while we've been talking until one day she opened up about how things are over there and we wept like really you've been going through this and we did not know and and there was one thing i said to her i'm like see i would always be there for you but then i know that me saying these are just words because i can't be there for you physically right obviously our time zones and the country location is entirely different right i wish i can do more it doesn't make sense that you will go through something like this and you don't have anyone to hold your hands and so many people are going through the same thing be it uk be whatever country they are in people are going through a lot a lot of people want to come back they don't want to stay there because there's still racism you have to fight racism yes you the the money that you're working for every day a huge chunk of it goes to the government and you still have people who are over there and they're still funding the lifestyle of their relatives down here yes by the time they send money back home they have barely they have barely peanuts almost taking out themselves right enough for history people are saying oh we're doing care jobs do you know what a care job is you're working hash whether i was giving you a gist about someone who left here went there and then all she was doing was basically working as a floating box so she appeared boxes from trucks or floating from the company would then into the trucks to be taking out for deliveries and her ship is at night oh and it's very cold but you know what opera said something that sometimes you can love i mean she attributed it to someone but i'm attributing it to a country right now somehow you can love someone so much but then yeah you can you can still work away because i love you too much but you're hurting me like the love i have for you is not beneficial to me is it hurting me right and so that's why you see people don't leave but they they don't know what is going on because that love you have for your country keeps you in the news we are watching you're following up what is going on and some of them even pray for nigeria more than we in here pray for nigeria because that love is genuine it's your country you can't change it right but all we are looking for is okay right now this is what i want this is what my destiny this is what i want the other i was talking about positioning there are certain things you want even academic wise or medically or financially or militarily or religious whatever for so many reasons there are things you want that the country as it is right now whether it's renewed hope and be renewed and intensified hatching it just cannot offer you that right and so at the end of the day you are you are down to taking this very difficult decision of starting off starting afresh isn't hard it's hard i need to have good job for two years or so i was crying every day because i was like everything i know is in Lagos it's it's in nigeria and then talking of people going abroad you have to learn the language learn the tax filing system learn maybe go to school it's it's a lot come on call these people some slack like it's let's not even forget the remittances people abroad in dubaco a lot of families would have perished yeah if those remittances were not coming so really i'm not no no i agree with you i think it's very insensitive it's very insensitive as it stands we're in an abusive relationship with nigeria and yeah we need to get out of it i don't know what's going to happen but the government needs to start doing better right because i want to live a healthy life right i want to have my family here my kids happy and the one thing about life is life without community it's not life the only way you get to enjoy what you have and the money that you have that you're working hard for is for the people around you right but then i just want to play a little devil's advocate right wasansi and adela you have a comment but we'll come to that so let me just play a little advocate i'm going to start with with isi what do you think can happen that would make you leave nigeria for good there are different reasons but i i i can't actually think of anything right now but i know of a friend of mine who said that in her old age nigeria might leave her in the lunch so what she wants to do is leave the country so that she can have better health care in in her old age so that is what i know about so if i can have better health care in my old age why won't i leave nigeria thank you for being very honest sometimes you have it you have a comment oh yes i do um this says good evening my dear beautiful sisters of what are you saying hashtag ways dela farotimi nigerian living a coward do you agree the answer is capital no they are not cowards and can never be i hold this man in highest team and i am highly disappointed in him for making this statement this statement is highly unacceptable you are talking about people relocating to a place that is better for them to get comfort everybody has a genuine reason to relocate my dear beautiful sister jennifer made mention of people relocating because of poverty corruption and insecurity which i agree this is not the nigeria everyone clamor for for crying out loud is everybody's destiny tied to suffering and hardship you anchor very well jennifer keep it up and i know that sister will be proud of you this is daniel ilou ways regular fan we need to understand the context to which dela farotimi was speaking about the nigerians living in nigeria to abroad as cowards i agree with him on the context of nigerians who are living in nigeria to abroad because of the political climate of the country as cowards because they they as nigerians are the ones who will change nigeria's political space apart from this i totally disagree with him because living in nigeria itself is hell on earth because nothing is actually working in nigeria in terms of security employment infrastructure wise health care system and so on nigeria does not create the enabling environment to make peace and joy the peace of the mind to stay in nigeria living in nigeria is like living in a jungle all right thank you ladies

Okay, folks, Larry Pesovano for TFNN, finishing up one of the wildest weeks in the history of the stock market. We've been seven weeks straight up, about 20% higher in the Dow Jones. The only other time we've had a 10-week run like that is back when we were in 2015, and that's when we made our top on October the 15th of 2007, not 2015. Anyway, that's what we have a guest today, Bill Meridian, the Cycles Research, one of the best in the business. He's highly revered by anybody to have as a guest, and we're fortunate to have him today. This folks, this volatility that we're seeing is just starting, in my opinion. I think we're going to see some of the wildest volatility. I don't know, I can make any difference in this, I mean, seven weeks up in the Dow Jones folks. There's only been three down days out of the seven weeks that were the Dow, either didn't make a higher, higher, made a slightly lower, low, I mean, that's just an incredible statistic. But that's the name of the game. We haven't made a new high in the S&P yet, nor the NASDAQ or nor the Russell, but the Dow Jones has been the big daddy rapid, and so that's the one that is in the news most of the time. But all the stocks have been very strong, and of course the AI programs are still helping the market along, as well as it's discontinued any news of what's going on in Ukraine or in Israel. It doesn't seem to make any difference to the market anymore. But that's what makes it market boys and girls, and that's why we're having fun here at TFNN. So we're going to have Bill Meridian as our guest, soon as we come up here after the first break, and I think we're going to have a really great show. We really have some wonderful stuff. Even gold this week has had a really strong rally. It's rallying back $56 from its low, which has been a big, well actually $70 from its low, where it dropped from $140 down to up $70. So it's making some nice retracements there. So keep an eye on these. We're going to have a great show. Be sure to look at the letter this week. We've got a lot of important statistics to share with you, and I think you'll enjoy those too. So let's get ready for Bill Meridian, and we'll have a really great show here when he comes up here in just a minute or two. I hope I have the time schedule right, because I've had a little bit of trouble communicating with him, but we'll be right back.
