I'm Mark Lundstrom, acting dean of the College of Engineering, and it is a real pleasure to welcome you to campus, the class of 2024. This is always a very special time of the year for me, when we welcome new students who are just beginning their academic journey. There's a lot of excitement and enthusiasm and some nervousness too, but we have dedicated faculty and advisors and programs that will help you not only survive but also thrive. And before you know it, you'll be graduating. Your time in college is about preparing to succeed in life, and a lot of that education takes place outside the classroom. Check out the experiential learning opportunities that we have available in Grit Plus, global research, industry, teamwork, and more. The experiences might be a bit different this year. Instead of study abroad programs, we'll have study away programs here in the U.S. Your industry internship might be a virtual one, but these programs will be terrific and I encourage you to take advantage of them. Your academic advisors are here to help you, and you should also feel free to contact Associate Dean for Undergraduate Education, Alina Alexenko, and Director of Undergraduate Affairs, Twyla Ortiz. We've been busy all summer getting ready for your arrival. Fall semester 2020 will be much different. There will be fewer students in the classroom, no large events, we'll all be wearing face masks. Your advisors and faculty are here for you, but it's important that we all be careful. Follow safe practices, look out for each other. If you have any questions, go to the Predict Purdue website. One part of your education is learning how to deal with setbacks and challenges, and boy do we have a lot of those right now. By beginning your college education in these trying times, you're showing the kind of resilience that we'll see you through to your degrees and to success in life. So welcome to Purdue, good luck with your classes. I hope you take advantage of everything that a college education has to offer. Let's all be careful and we'll be looking back on a memorable fall semester 2020. Mask up and go boilers.


Dear students, in this topic we shall discuss the animal signals and communication patterns. Stimulus which is transmitted from one animal to another is called a signal. The signal may be visual, chemical, tactile or auditory. Animals communicate by transmission and reception of signals. Animal communication is an essential element of interaction between the individuals. And it is used to transmit information among various members of the species. Dear students, the communication patterns are correlated with the type of the signal. So, the communication patterns include visual communication, olfactory communication, tactile communication and auditory communication based on the type of the signal whether it is visual signal, olfactory signal or tactile or touch signal and it is a sound or voice signal. Dear students, animals use different forms of communication in different environments and also depending on their own lifestyle. We shall take few examples of forms of communication. The diurnal animals which are active during the day communicate through visual or auditory signals. Whereas nocturnal animals which are active during the night do not have any importance of visual displays. But they use olfactory and auditory signals which work well in dark. Dear students, we shall discuss in detail a comprehensive example of animal communication through signals which is observed in the courtship behavior of fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. The courtship behavior of this fly constitutes a stimulus response chain. The response to each stimulus is itself a stimulus for the next behavior. This is called a stimulus response chain. Now, during the courtship behavior of Drosophila, a male identifies his female. This is through visual communication. Then male detects the chemicals which are released by the female by smell that is olfactory or chemical communication. After this, male approaches female and touches the female with his fore leg. This is tactile communication which depends on touch. Now, in the next step, male extends and vibrates his wings which produce sound. And it acts by visual auditory communication. As a result of this chain of communication, the communication becomes successful. Female also identifies that the male coming to her belongs to the same species so she becomes receptive and allows the male to attempt copulation. Dear students, communication is also used among animals for transfer of information. The information content transferred varies considerably. We shall take a comprehensive example of communication of information transfer in animals by taking the symbolic language of honey bees as an example. Honey bees share information about the location of food source. A honey bee finds a food source and that food source is near the hive that is within a range of 50 meters or less. It returns to its hive. Now, the second honey bee wants to communicate that the food source is near the hive. For this, the symbolic language of honey bees is used. This honey bee who has found food comes to its hive and moves in tight circles from side to side. This movement of honey bee is called round dance. This round dance motivates other bees to leave the hive and follow her for nearby food. When the honey bee finds a food source which is farther, in such a situation, returning honey bee will perform a waggle dance. In the waggle dance, it will swing half circle in one direction, then a straight run and then a half circle in opposite direction. This signal will communicate to the other members of species or the residents of that hive that where is the direction and the distance of food source. In this way, through symbolic language, communication happens in honey bees.


Welcome to Nursing School Explained and this video on increased intracranial pressure. If you haven't already done so, I highly recommend watching my other video that explains the relationship between intracranial pressure and cerebral profusion pressure and how it relates to mean arterial pressure so that you understand what the increased intracranial pressure means and also have a better understanding of why we do the nursing interventions that we do. So first of all, let's review here.  We have brain matter, that's about 78%. We also have blood in our blood vessels that perfuse the brain which consists of about 12%. And then we have cerebral spinal fluid that just kind of regulates and cushions the brain, that's about 10% of those intracranial contents. Now when there is a bleed, for example, so now we have an injury here, a hematoma whether that's an epidural or a subdural hematoma, the blood compartment increases from the 12% to whatever it is to however much blood escapes from that blood vessel. Now there is less room available for the cerebral spinal fluid but more importantly the brain tissue and it gets displaced to the side. So now that blood takes up extra space here and pushes the brain tissue over towards the right side of the patient here. So the brain moves over which is also sometimes referred to as a midline shift that you might be able to see on a CT scan or an MRI result. So that midline that we usually have right in the middle here between the two cerebral hemispheres now moves over because it's being displaced by a space occupying lesion. Now what happens if this bleed extends and becomes really severe as in down here, the brain not only moves to the side but it also actually moves down towards the spinal cord, down the spinal canal.  Now recall that the brain stem and the medulla sit here at the base of the skull and they control the vital functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, respirations and temperature control. So all of these important functions that we often refer to as vital signs because they are vital to our survival and we'll look at how that relates to signs and symptoms here in a moment. So causes of increased intracranial pressure can be tumors for example where that brain tissue expands can be hemorrhages like I just discussed in the example over here. It can be due to infectious processes such as abscess formation and or inflammation and then conditions that also have increased cerebral spinal fluid would be a hydrocephalus for example that then needs to be drained the cerebral spinal fluid. So when we do have increased pressure in that intracranial compartment in our skull it leads to increased carbon dioxide which then leads to cerebral acidosis because the tissue perfusion is not happening the way that it should which means that it leads to impaired auto-regulation that's a term that I discussed in my other video and then systemic hypertension follows because now the brain is not being perfused so the body responds by increasing the systemic blood pressure to try and get more blood to flow to the brain to perfuse those important brain cells but we're already having too much of one of these compartments in here and that only increases more of that pressure which then leads to cerebral edema because these cells are swollen which leads to even more increase of that intracranial pressure and then if the tissue gets so compressed it leads to tissue hypoxia, acidosis and then eventually the herniation that we just discussed and by pushing on the respiratory center it can lead to respiratory arrest and basically death of the patient. So signs and symptoms as with anything that relates to our head will be a decreased level in consciousness so we have to be very judiciously assessing our patients with their glass caucomal scale and their neurological exams there will be change in vital signs and then there is a term called Cushing's triad which basically means that three things occur. Number one, increase the static blood pressure like which was discussed over here with a widening pulse pressure, number two, brain cardiac, number three, irregular respirations leading to in eventually low respiratory rate and then that respiratory arrest we just discussed. Now that can be also ocular signs and there might be ipsilateral pupil dilation which is why it's so important that we assess the patient's pupils and so recall that the cranial nerves cross over more towards the brain stem so if I now have a space occupying lesion more up high in my skull like we have in this example right here the cranial nerve that controls that the eye dilation on that side is on the same side as the brain lesion so ipsilateral means on the same side so the pupil would be dilated on the same side that I have that injury or that space occupying lesion and therefore I'm going to have an abnormal cranial nerve exam and so all the cranial nerves that control the eyes are going to be affected which are cranial nerves two, three, four and six so everything that has to do with pupil dilation as well as extraocular movement and the patient might complain of vision changes double vision blurry vision are very common here and then as you know for our neurologic exam we don't only assess cranial nerves but also peripheral motor and neurologic functions sensation and ability to move but if there are signs of increased intracranial pressure that motor function is going to decrease as well because now the brain is unable to communicate so that might lead to hemiparesis as well as decodicate and deseripate posturing and those are very indicative of something really wrong with the patient and this is basically a sign both of those signs mean that there is a shift occurring at least the shift may be even the hermitation and deseripate positioning or posturing is worse than the decodicate positioning the way I like to remember it is decodicate is to the core and deseripate means away from the core as you can see in these pictures right here so other signs and symptoms the patient might be complaining about if they are conscious our headache nausea and vomiting as we have so many signs when there is something going on in our brain diagnostic tests associated with increased cranial intracranial pressure might be CT scans or MRIs to see exactly what are what is the underlying issue electroencephalogram to measure the actual brain waves and to see how the brain is functioning as well as intracranial pressure monitoring they might get a transcranial Doppler ultrasound where they check the blood flow and then there is a device called the lycox device that is actually able to measure the brain tissue perfusion so how well the brain tissue is perfused now as far as treatments we have to basically if the patient's Glasgow coma scale is less than eight they will usually get what's called a ventricle ostomy and ventricle ostomy ventricles of the brain ostomy is an artificial opening so now what we have here again is our brain that has her that has shifted over to the side and we have this device that's inserted through the skull into the ventricles of the brain and then hooked up to a transducer and then the monitor will give us an output and see how the intracranial pressure is doing at the same time the same device allows us to maybe drain some cerebral spinal fluid because if we are able to maybe remove a little bit of that cerebral spinal fluid now we can decrease that pressure because now we have from those three compartments that we have here we have too much blood if we get rid of a little bit of the sea and sea asset the brain tissue has more room to expand and hopefully won't be so compressed and ischemic now over here again the ventricle ostomy we have the ability to remove cerebral spinal fluid as needed and as ordered and also we can measure the ICP with this device and then recall that the cerebral profusion pressure is calculated by the mean arterial pressure and we subtract the intracranial pressure now other treatment modalities that we also need to add here are medications that are super important in helping to reduce the cerebral edema and the medication that comes up here a lot is called mannitol which is an osmotic diuretic and so by the principle of osmosis mannitol removes fluid from the from the edematous cerebral tissue and pulls the fluid off into the intravascular space where the patient that is able to excrete very similar so hypertonic saline 3% sodium chloride works very similarly where if we give the patient a fluid that is more concentrated it causes that fluid shift again by the principle of osmosis and pulls that extra fluid from those cells so this is the cerebral cell and here we have the blood vessel and for both of the both of those it's very important that we check the fluid and electrolyte balance because specifically sodium and water content might get out of balance here and sodium is especially important and then if you recall whenever we give a hypertonic solution we have to ensure that we listen to the patient's lung sounds to make sure that this is not putting him into fluid volume overload and we would hear crackles if that occurs now if the cause of the increased intracranial pressure is a tumor or an abscess portico steroids are many times used for treatment and with those we have to make sure we check that blood sugar goes very frequently check the patient for any kind of infection that can occur with hospitalization as well as check them for GI bleeds by paying particular attention to maybe the NG tube that they have or their stools and then again monitor the fluid volume status and as well as administer H2 blockers and PPIs to reduce the gastric acidity to prevent those stress ulcers that could be forming and then because the cerebral tissue is now so irritable the patient many times will be put on prophylactic anti seizure medications we have to address their pain but this is a very delicate matter here because we don't want to over or under sedate the patient if we over sedate them we won't be able to really assess their neurologic status but if we under sedate them they might be altered they might be aggressive they might be agitated which then would even contribute to increasing the intracranial pressure even more so we have to be very judiciously administering any kind of pain and anti anxiety medication so that we can still assess the patient neurologically to see what their trends are doing and then a lot of times barbiturates are also used here which they just by administering administration of them if they decrease cerebral metabolism and therefore decrease ICP the nursing care besides everything here in green that we've already discussed we need to clearly assess the patient's vital signs and neural checks frequently especially the eyes and their motor function their posturing like we just discussed with deseribrate and decodicate positioning because we know if the brain starts to shift or herniate it's going to affect the basic vital functions and vital signs and the easiest or quickest way to assess this is by doing that eye and motor exam to see what is changing and then certainly we have to monitor the ICP the intracranial pressure by the device of the matriculostomy and then in terms of their respiratory function so this patient will be intubated and we have to limit suctioning keep the head of the bed at 30 degrees and also insert an NG to for gastric deflation unless there is contraindication and so the respiratory function is very important here because recall that the brain depends on certain things and CO2 build up so acidosis can be detrimental to the brain health so we have to make sure that we allow the patient's respiratory function to be working properly and that their chest can expand as well as that their stomach is deflated so it's not putting pressure on the lungs which then can increase the pressure in their intraceracic cavity which then can increase leading to increase in pressure in the cerebral cavity as well and then body positioning in general for all those reasons I just discussed is important we want to keep the head at midline because recall that we have the carotid arteries and the jugular veins that profuse the brain and drain the brain so if we even just turn the head over to the side it can kind of occlude that pressure or cause problems with that cerebral artery regulation and therefore increase intracranial pressure we want to avoid neck flexion for the same reasons we want to turn the patient very slowly and carefully with assistance of probably many healthcare providers to ensure that they stay nice and calm and that we can maintain the posture and even when we when we turn them we want to avoid coughing, straining and any kind of valsalva maneuver for the same reasons because whenever you cough that that intraceracic pressure increases which therefore can increase the intracranial pressure straining so we want to make sure that they will have a urinary catheter so that bladder is not descended and that they are not straining to have a bowel movement because again straining and activation of the valsalva maneuver can increase the intracranial pressure which again could lead to increased intracranial pressure and we want to avoid hip flexion for the same reasons and other things that are important is protect the patient from injury now whenever there are patients with head injuries they might be agitated they might become combative and so in order to keep them safe not only from you know removing maybe the and the tracheal tube but pulling on other lines and devices but also to protect them from injury because of their combative status as well as they might need seizure precautions on and side rail padding and then we have to address the psychosocial needs. Head injuries can be anxiety inducing if the patient is even aware of it because due to cerebral edema they might be altered but also we need to provide them with short and simple explanations because their brain is now not able to function normally because of this increased intracranial pressure so we have to keep it very short and simple so that they can actually follow our commands. So thank you for watching this video on increased intracranial pressure and how it relates to cerebral perfusion and head injuries recall that it can that can be several different causes for it anything that is a space occupying lesion in that intracranial cavity such as tumors, abscesses, bleeds and cerebral spinal fluid increase such as hypercephalus. Thanks for watching Nursing School Explained. See you soon.


Hi, friends. Welcome to today's AMA. It's all about fundraising more money with GrantStation, one of the powerful tools we've got in the tech supermarket place. Today, we're bringing in one of our in-house experts, Julie Nevejas, who is a program manager for strategic partnerships. Julie's here to answer your questions about GrantStation, which is a comprehensive set of online grant research tools. Nonprofits can use GrantStation membership to research current sources of grant money and learn how to secure available funding. This event is open to anyone interested in improving their fundraising results and we can't wait to meet you. So thank you so much for joining us here today. I'm Eli. I'm a community manager at TechSoup and I'll be the event host, which means I'll be asking questions of Julie as we start. And once we go through our preset set of about eight questions, we'll then pass the baton over to you in the audience and we get deeper into your questions as well. If you have any questions that have come to mind as we go through this webinar, feel free to just jump right there into the chat and add your question there. And we'll go through that and look at that at the end of the event. And with that, I'm going to pass you over to Julie. For having me, Eli, it's a pleasure to be here. I think you would want me to tell you a bit about GrantStation and how it can help organizations. GrantStation was created by a seasoned grant writer who recognized that she was wasting a lot of time trying to filter doing research and filtering grant opportunities that are actually accepting applications. So she created a database that involves a lot of vetting and researching of open opportunities or funders that are actually accepting new applications. So they have a vast database that provides open opportunities that are constantly being reviewed and vetted by a staff of researchers. Most of GrantStation consists of the researchers, so that's the very, very big importance to what they have to offer. They've also developed some other helpful tools. So you can find a set of funders that are actively looking for fund to fund grantees. And this cuts hours of your research online. Though GrantStation is a company, they work a lot like TechSeq does and they provide a number of helpful avenues to gain information and training. They do an annual survey called the state of grant seeking where the state of the types, what types of organizations are receiving, what types of funds. And this is super valuable information for organizations, different kinds of organizations of different sizes. They create tools for grants to help you create a grant strategy. They create, have tools to help you write better proposals. They do webinars. They have a number of webinars offered regularly and they have valuable courses as well. Courses for writing grants and creating a strategy. You have answered my leading initial question, which is, what is GrantStation and how can it help my nonprofit? I think you've offered a really good overview of just the origins of GrantStation and the core elements. But one thing you talked about is that you have a GrantStation membership. What does that really mean and what's included? The membership is purchased like a subscription. It gives you 12 months of access to their database, the database of open grants that are being vetted by the researchers. So it's the pre-screened grant makers that you get access to. There are also a number of tools, as I mentioned before, that you have access that comes with the membership. They have some newsletters that are available to anybody and a couple of tools. I think the benchmarker might be available to anybody, but the database, which is the main reason you probably want a membership, is only available to people that have paid memberships. Thank you for asking that. One thing I want to figure out here is, how do I actually get this membership? So it's this 12-month thing that gives me access to all these tools. Should I go to the GrantStation website? Should I go to TechSoup's catalog? What's the best way to get into this GrantStation membership? You absolutely can get a membership directly from GrantStation. However, TechSoup offers the memberships at a discount annually. So at any time, however, on two days, twice a year, TechSoup has a very deeply discounted offering of the membership. This year, on February 14th and 15th, TechSoup is offering a full membership for $99 just on these two days. And we'll have another promotion in September. So it just happens two times a year, so it's a good time to try it. So here's my next question. So here I am in GrantStation. And how can I go to the results to find something that's a fit for my organization around my focused area, my budget size? Because there's so many opportunities. How would I avoid getting lost? That's a really good question. I can start very broad, and I probably would as well start as broad as possible, but there are lots of areas that you can narrow your results. Areas of interest, target populations, types of support, type of grantmaker. Maybe you feel you have a better connection with certain types of grantmakers or a location of grantmaker that's important to your store. So there are lots of ways that you can narrow it, but you might also want to start with a broad search. Because that's really helpful to say, yeah, sometimes grants are limited to geographies. And so you can make sure that, oh, I only work in mountains in the Sierras. Then you can make sure you're finding the right opportunity to see you're not wasting your time. Speaking of wasting your time, I am a very busy nonprofit executive. Not true. I'm putting on a roll. But pretend I have a busy nonprofit executive. One of the top three tools I should focus on, because I need to only put my time into the most important things. Yeah. Aren't we all extremely busy? We all need to find ways to save time. I think the fact that the database of opportunities are already vetted will save a tremendous amount of time to save some additional time. You might want to look for proposals that only require two to four pages. That's a big time saver. You think you can filter on the length and effort of the application? There aren't any filters on that, but you would want to look for that. Time is your biggest concern, because some of the grants, some of the funders require a lot more than four pages. If that's your biggest concern, you might want to look for the opportunities that require less paperwork, should I say. I would also say use their dashboards. They put a tremendous amount of research and development into their dashboards to help you keep track of your opportunities, your proposals, and your grant-related projects. So I would say definitely use those and use a framework to plan. This way you're ready to submit the proposal in a way that the grant maker wants to see it, if you have some basic information already gathered in kind of a framework format. I want to jump now into a question coming from the audience. So Tim Turner asks, does Grant Station offer cloud storage for putting my research and my templates in, or is Grant Station really structured more as like a read-only database of opportunities, but I would manage all my research and that within my own tool sets? That's a good question. I believe it's of a form-related storage, not necessarily a cloud storage for actual documents. I've never seen that. I can certainly ask them and get back to you on that. That's not a problem, but I know most of their dashboards are based on more like a form. You would add a funder and you would add a date that you want it to. The date would be on there of when it's due, but I can find out to see if there's cloud storage for say a Word document that has your draft on it. Awesome. Helpful. Thank you. So I'm based in Canada, Julie. Had my multiple nonprofits apply for the Grant Station program, do they cover nonprofits in my country? Absolutely. Grant Station has quite a few researchers that are based in Canada and they are researching specifically Canadian opportunities. They have also expanded tremendously to international markets as well. They have a newsletter called the International... What's it called? Grant Station International Insider. If you're looking for grants that help you internationally, I would recommend signing up for that. That is free for anybody to sign up for. Great. So there are some other countries included as well. That's good to hear. So I have another question. So what are some of the best practices for making the best use of Grant Station? Because as you talked about, there's a number of different tools. There's a couple of different approaches. What are your recommendations for making the best use of Grant Station? All of what I said previously, but in addition, there's a benchmark. This is a tool that they have developed as a result of their state of the grant seeking survey results. You can enter the size of your organization and a number of different points, and it will tell you what other organizations that are similar to yours have been awarded. So you know where your benchmark is or how many applications they have sent in order to get X amount of dollars. That would be a really great way to utilize Grant Station. I would also say just fully utilize the dashboard to stay organized. That's really helpful. I have another question coming here in from the audience, actually, from our friends at quietlyworking.org. So this is a bit more of a technical question, which is there an API, which may feel like a machine to machine talking language or a way to integrate Grant Station in with an existing customer relationship management tool. So we could say, I found this grant added automatically to my donor perfect or my Salesforce CRM. Do you know of any kinds of integrations with other tools using Grant Station? I don't, but I can certainly do some research and talk to them and find out if there is any. I've never heard of that, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist. So it's possible. I would have to get back to you on that. I've got another great question coming in this time from Tim Turler again. Then the question here is, what's the process for onboarding once I've went and got my Grant Station membership? So do I need to talk with someone and go through the process or am I just thrown into the database? Is there supports and trainings? What does that onboarding process look like? That's a really good question. When you sign up for membership through TechSoup, we send you some instructions on how to log in and how to create your account. If you need additional help, you can always contact Grant Station through their email or their phone. They're very customer centric, so they love to talk to the nonprofits. Everyone that works there is very passionate about what they do, and I'm sure you would be a really good experience if you just called them. They also have a lot of tour of Grant Station webinars that they have on their website. We also have them archived on our website, so you can search Grant Station and find a Grant Station tour, and that's a really great place to start. And again, if you have any questions about utilizing the database or any other tools, they're fabulous with talking with people. So there's a number of different supports there along the route of onboarding. And then I've also dropped into the chat some links to some of our past webinars. So I've been doing a little bit of poking around Grant Station because I don't have a Grant Station account. It looks like you can run a search on their website and it's going to show you the number of results. You just won't see the content of those results, which is probably a good way for someone who is Grant Station curious to say, does my topic, does my mission, have inclusion in the database? Is that something people can experiment with? Am I reading that correctly that I can get a sense of the volume of support in Grant Station? Yeah, absolutely. They created that because that was probably a big call drive to their customer service, but absolutely I highly recommend utilizing a tool on their website that you can check, you can use the filters and see ahead of time how many grant opportunities, open grant opportunities are available to you. And if you're not finding a volume, that you feel like is acceptable, you can always give them a call and say, ask them if you're doing it right. If there's a different way to filter, because just like when you're Googling something, if you use too many words or too few words, you're going to get different results. If you're having some difficulty finding some results that you feel acceptable, I would never hesitate to give them a call and just see if there's any refinements in your search. And yes, you can do that ahead of time. Even without a membership, yeah. Once I'm in this membership and I get the killer deal that they do in partnership with TechSoup, does this automatically renew at the end of the year? What happens with this membership? It actually, it's good for 12 months. It does not automatically renew. You would want to come back to TechSoup. If you wanted the deeply discounted membership, you would want to come back to TechSoup a year after you get it. If you're getting it in February, you would want to pay attention to find out when the next, or Erin will tell you maybe, find out when the next promo is and get it then. Otherwise you can still get a pretty decent discount at TechSoup regularly if you miss the promo. But we do quite a bit about outreach, so hopefully you'll catch it. I've got another question coming in here from Tim Turner, which says, among those tools within GrantStation, are there any tools in there to help to create a Grant calendar? Basically a way for you to know when should you reapply for some of these recurring grants that happen from fundees or funders? Absolutely. On the dashboard, you can use, utilize the dashboard as a calendar. It might not look like a calendar, but it's set up so that you can keep track of your projects. And that includes dates as well. It was created by people that design grant strategies. So yes. So those kinds of common pain points, they've likely addressed those already. So I've got another question coming in here from our friends at quietlyworking.org, which is if I need to go and ask some of these more technical questions, these more in-depth questions, that maybe are best answered by our friends at GrantStation, what's the best way to reach them? Should I just go to their contact us form on their website? Like what's the best way? There is a phone number published on their website. There's also an email info at grantstation.com. It shouldn't be hard to find. I'll check it now. But yeah, just go to the contact us and their information should be there. Right. So they're making themselves very available because they are here to answer those kinds of questions. Absolutely. They're very customer focused. So I don't think there'll be any problem with that. I correct the question. Just tweak it a little bit. Yeah, I'd go for it. Okay. What I'm looking for is because I'm one of your customers that I've had GrantStation for three years and never used it to a potential. And that's on me. But one of the things I'd like to do is in our technology stack, we have a lot of automation. And so I'd like to integrate it into our CRM and into our sales process stack. So that's when I talk about integration. I'm wondering if there's somebody that I can talk to that because in my web searches, I can't find anything relating to that. Everything that I, when I do a search, it relates to competitors. And so what I'd like to know is who to talk to that could help with how to integrate that either with web hooks or with an API or with currently it doesn't look like there's any Zapier connections or anything like that. So if you could point me to a contact or I can put my contact info into the chat and then just have them reach out, I would greatly appreciate it. I think the latter one would work very seamlessly. I'd be happy to facilitate that. Can you send web hooks or? Any type of how to integrate. So how to connect the data that we have for SAIT when I click on I'm choosing this grant to add into my process to start the sales process or the fundraising process. How do I begin the process? So you want to feel copy and paste everything over. Yeah, it's just basically the back door to connect two different programs so that they can, so we can use it in our current automation process. We'll get somebody to contact you about that. So thank you so much for joining us here today. We're going to take this recording and make sure it's available for both you to review later as well as the rest of the quad members as well.


Today's topic is IRS verification.  But that's not the matter here. Sometimes when registering your company as a new company, you may receive a notice similar to this. It's the IRS 10 match validation fail for XYZ company and the US government system for war management. Uh-oh. So the first step is go back and make sure that your company name is spelled exactly like the SAM profile. Make sure that it's case sensitive just like as if it was a password. Most of the times the IRS will use all caps for your business name. So if you make that simple change, you'll eliminate this problem. The second step is to call the SAM help desk and ask for assistance. Nine times out of 10, if step one doesn't work, step two will. Keep trying, don't give up.


The Old Rocks again takes charge of Bradford City as attention turns to their opening game of the EFL trophy. Opponents Grimsby come into this with just a point from their two games so far and they enter this match with no fewer than 10 players unavailable for selection. Well, he didn't pick himself at the weekend, but McDonald does tonight. One of nine changes he's made. 38-year-old Colin Doyle plays his first game in goal for Bradford in five-and-a-half years and two years since his last senior appearance. Only five substitutes for Grimsby tonight. They make five changes themselves. And it's with Ochre. He manages to charge down the clearance and it's a decent ballplay back as well. And a wonderful opportunity for Bradford City to take the lead early on. He will also debut completely unmarked inside the penalty area. Places his effort, wide of the post. Rehearsed, Edge Rosebreed to the final in 20-80. Inside there on the backflip again and it's the Villalonia fuck-up. He manages to put the defender under pressure. Bradford City do win a corner. Edge of the six-yard box. It's back with McDonald, interim player-manager. And McDonald gets it back again. Pends a lovely looking ball to the edge of the box. Headed back with interest and turned in from close range. Ash Taylor heads it back. But it's Kieran Kelly who gets the final touch. And McDonald had a pivotal role to play as well. His hips fall in and it's the Irishman who scores it. And it's Kelly's first goal for Bradford City since joining in January. Pass from Harvey Rogers. Mahua gets into the box. He crosses and Grimsby are level inside two minutes. We've got to start. We've had to this game. It's Wreckingham Pike who scores. I think that actually went in. Not the striker's chest, but two goals in two games for him. Lovely touch to control it. Martha Mahua and it's Pike. He gets a quick-fire equaliser for the Marinus. And he'll draw at scumple. His last appearance for the Bantams. It over the top by Taylor. Oh, and the flag stays down here. Wonderful chance into the side net. A bit of a stop beginning to his Bradford City career after joining the club in the summer. Find the target. Last lifted this trophy in 1998. They beat Bournemouth in the final. It's a Davey. Goalkeeper comes a long way. It's plumbed away by Cartwrights. A rhythm as well, but decisive goalkeeping by Cartwrights. Grimsby come forward on the attack. Oh, what a great pass that is as well. Pike for a second. Good save, Doyle. Grimsby keep going. The cross is over hit though. And behind for a goal kick. Really open, entertaining game this evening. And Pike, so unfortunate there. Doyle stood his ground to make the save. Marinus currently 18th in the lead. Two standings, two points and four places. Hello, Bradford City. He leaked from them. They went against Swindon at the weekend. That's a Davey. One challenge, then plays the 1-2. And it's a good touch to get into the area too. It's Sosa Davey. A really good finish. Bradford City restored their lead early in the second half. And it's a first goal for the club. For Emmanuel Sosa Davey. He's had a wretched time since joining Bradford City. The summer before last. A double leg fracture. Last season, back in the fall this year. And finally, he's on the score sheet. What a way to do it as well. And then driving run. The goal coming just three minutes into the second half. Grimsby get the ball clear. And the diagonal ball over the top. Sits, grabbed it on the attack again. Can't right this time. Has to use his head. And the substitute comes forward. Looking to get a third. And saved to keep out. Adam Wilson. Unite with Bradford City come out. Out of non-league football. Almost produced the third goal there. But Clark writes, makes the save. Draw. They can find an equaliser. And we go to a penalty shootouts. Wilson tries to put. Rogers under pressure. And Rogers is guilty of giving the ball away.  And now, tempers boy it over. Rogers reacted. Osa Debi. And even the goalkeeper can't right in the thick of it too. Ugly finish to this game. In for the ball. Bradford unhappy with Rogers' lunge. As it went out of play there. Even the substitute's getting involved. With two minutes into stoppage time. At the end of this game. Close dialogue with his assistant. It's a yellow card for Rogers. And it's a red for Osa Debi. Well, well, well. This is a night of firsts. His first goal for the club. This is the first red card of his career. Even the manager. Vivian McDonald comes over. And he's taking himself off to remonstrate with that one. And Osa Debi cannot quite believe it. Against the ten men. Ribbs beat. Going on some late pressure. They try and get into the box there. It's charged down. All a bit scrappy. And the Mariners come again. That's a good looking cross.  Homelessly wide. Can flick on as well. Oh, and it falls in the box. Another chance this time. It's given Hollahan. And with that, the referee brings an end to the action. Right on the whistle. Another good opportunity for Grimsbeater level. But it's two wins out of two. Kevin McDonald's player interim manager. To replicate the likes of Stuart McCall, who has gone by in a similar role. And Grafford City, will have to wait their time to play their first game of the group stage. In a victory. They're more than section over. Two wins to Grafford City. It finishes.


وأقول في القرآن ما جاءت به آياته فهو الكاريم المنزاله وأقول قال الله جل جلاله والمصطف الهدي ولا أتأواله الحمد لله رب العالمين والصلاة والسلام على عبد الله ورسوله نبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه أجمعين السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته نبدأ with the praise of Allah by asking Allah to exalt the mentioned grand peace our messenger Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم to his family and his companions This is another installment in the course on the Muslim family the short course on the Muslim family brought to you by المدرسة العمارية We've spoken about the characteristics of the ideal husband and we took out some time to talk about the Hadith of Umzar because of the benefits we can take from it in the way the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم behaved towards his family and also in the way that the women complained or mentioned good about their husbands and what we can take from that and learn from that So now we come on to the ideal wife Now when we talk about the ideal wife it's really important to say that there is something in this for everybody So if a sister is unmarried it gives her some goals to aspire towards how she should be when she gets married If a brother is unmarried it gives him an idea of the kind of person he should be looking for Again, we're not talking about perfection Perfection is with Allah سبحانه وتعالى And with whoever Allah gives perfection to like the ambia and the Rasul the messengers and the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم But we're talking about what we should what should I If I'm looking to get married What kind of person am I looking for And said to do the right thing and go come as near to it as you can As for the woman who is married It's not a case of saying well I'm married now I can't change it's trying to improve Trying to correct ourselves Trying to improve the way that we are in our character And likewise for the men who are married It can give you an idea of what's important and what isn't Because sometimes as we said If a man is to take his wife to account for every small thing Then this will lead to a breakdown in the marriage So he also needs to know what's important and what isn't So Insha'Allah there's something in this video For everyone بيثن يلاي تعالى Regardless whether they are male or female Regardless of whether they are married or unmarried But we are talking about what should the characteristics be of the ideal wife We're going to start with a حريث بخالية المسلم Which is the حريث of أبي هوريرا رضي الله تعالى عنه أرضه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال تنكح المرأة لأربع نمالها وليحسبها وليجمالها وليدينها فضفر بذات الدين تريبت يدك أبو هوريرا رضي الله عن Reported the حريث زن بخالية المسلم From the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم That he said a woman is married for one of four things Either for her wealth Or for her reputation stroke family Or for her beauty Or for her religion So be successful by choosing The one for religion The one of religion The woman of religion تريبت يدك So let's just take this حريث And break it down Step by step And word by word A woman is married for one of four things These four things generally Summarize four qualities That are reasons why people marry Or reasons why a man would marry a woman Some of them apply the other way around But generally speaking These are reasons why men would marry a woman The first one The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم Mentioned is لِمَا لِهَا Because she has money And that could be for a number of reasons Either it could be that he thinks that She'll be less of a burden Because she has her own money Or he thinks that he can convince her To give him Because of course He's obliged to spend on her But he thinks he can convince her To give him money To pay off his debt Or that he can use her money For something For an investment For a business Or whatever So he's interested in her For her money Being interested in someone for their money Is that a lasting Basis for a marriage? Is that something that's going to make this marriage last? It's not going to make the marriage last Because ultimately money comes and goes She might be rich today She might be poor tomorrow If she has money But she doesn't have religion Then what's the danger there? She has money But not religion She might spend that money on Haram And she might become a burden For her husband in that regard The second reason For her reputation Or her family Al-Hasab could refer to Ayvet Could refer to her reputation in herself That she is there to manzip She's a person A woman of position And status This is a reason why people marry For position and status So he wants to marry her Because she has a position and status But what's the problem with that? The problem is That that position and status If it doesn't come with religion What's going to be the problem? That she might misuse it That she might look down on her husband She might say Who are you even to tell me what to do Or to even ask me to do something When I'm from this family And I'm from this background And I'm from this position And you're just a A low person With a low background A low You don't have a good reputation Or whatever It might be that she misuses it In terms of she's a fitna Outside She's a danger In terms of other men Because she's a person of status And beauty But she's not a person of religion And it might be If it's relating to the family That not every I mean You're not marrying the family You're not marrying the family You're marrying The woman, not the family So it might be that She comes from a noble family And her ancestors did great things And her father did great things And grandfather did great things And mother did great things But ultimately That doesn't mean that She will really be like that لجمالها For her beauty What's wrong with beauty Didn't the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam Say in an authentic hadith أنا ذارت إليها Have you looked at her Any are you content With how she looks Nothing wrong with beauty But beauty without religion Again could be a fitna Could be a trial for the people That she's not keeping herself to herself But she's very beautiful And she doesn't have religion So she's causing that discord To happen in her family And for her husband Because she's very beautiful But she doesn't have that religion To go with that beauty And the fourth reason That a person might marry a woman Is he might marry that woman For her religion And that's the one The Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam advised So from this We're talking about characteristics Of the ideal wife In all honesty The only one that matters Is religion To start with In this hadith The only one that matters is religion She can't really control Whether she's beautiful or not And beauty comes and goes right Like in the sense that She might be beautiful When he first marries her And after a while You know he gets bored Maybe she gets older After she's had kids Maybe there's the same beauty That is not there That was there when she was younger And he was younger And the same can be said for him There's nothing different about him He could be exactly the same But here beauty Isn't something that we say Is in the control of the woman That she should be beautiful The ideal wife should be beautiful The ideal wife Should make the best effort she can In how she looks for her husband There's no doubt about that She should make the best effort She can to look nice for her husband But It doesn't mean that She and herself being beautiful Or not is not what matters Her reputation If she's got reputation And Dean She's got status And Dean She's got a great family And Dean Alhamdulillah And religion Alhamdulillah That's excellent But what matters is the religion And that's the one that she can control The wealth comes and goes If she has her own wealth And she doesn't need much From her husband to support her Alhamdulillah That's great Why not? But ultimately It's not what matters So in this hadith What really matters In terms of The description Of the ideal wife Is that she is that A Dean She's a person of religion And we said a Dean Refers to how She worships Allah Her Ibadah With Allah Her relationship with Allah Her Taqwa Her fear of Allah All of that comes under a Dean And more And in reality That's what really matters The other things are a bonus If she's beautiful Alhamdulillah She's got a good family reputation Or she's from a high status A background Alhamdulillah If she's got wealth Why not? Alhamdulillah But ultimately It's not what matters It's not what's important What's important Is her religion And how many people married Someone because she was beautiful Because she was alluring Because she had a big Reputation She was well known Because she was wealthy And ended up You know خاسرا خسران مبينة Lost everything Because She wasn't a person of religion And not being a person of religion Doesn't necessarily mean I mean she might not necessarily commit zina For example But not being a person of religion She just brought hardship And loss And problems to that individual Because she had المال الحسب الجمال She was beautiful She had Great reputation Family background She was wealthy But she didn't have the Dean You can have the Dean Without any of those three But you can't have all of those three Without the Dean That's what's really important So he said the first thing From the ideal wife Is a Dean And that's the same for the ideal husband Because we said The حديث إذا خطب إليكم من ترضون دينه وخلقه فأنكيحه If a man comes to you seeking Your daughter's hand in marriage And you're pleased with his Dean His religion And his character Marry her to him So both of these Shared For the husband and the wife That what matters First of all is their religion That's what lasts That's what's going to last That's what's going to last You grow all together And you know You're both You know All the people What's going to last Is the Dean The جمال is not going to last The beauty is not going to last Add it and usually You know the family background It's not really worth anything Wealth comes and goes But what lasts Is the religion And that's what really matters So that's what we think Is very important As it relates to جمال Beauty We said that she should make From the characteristics of IDW She should make the best Of what she has She should make the best Of what she has She can't control How beautiful she is But she can Make the best Of what She has And this is something Which is actually A real benefit And a real point Which you can You can highlight Is that If she makes an effort With what she has Well, that would be enough It would be enough But what happens is One of two things Either from the guy's side His expectations are so high And this is one of the evils Of all of the pictures of women That are everywhere All of these photo-shopped pictures of women That are not real women They're not real These pictures of models And you know All these pictures that you get You get You're so panel like If you cover your eyes You still see them They're everywhere on the road The billboards The shopping malls On your computer When you open the browsers And all that stuff All these pictures of photo-shopped women That aren't real And it sets a wrong expectation In the mind of That man He expects that women Actually look like that Or women look like that After you import the picture into Photoshop And you know Spend half an hour Making her look completely different To how she really looks It's completely unrealistic expectations That's one issue The other issue is If the woman isn't making an effort From her side She's not making an effort To do the best of what she has Like How she looks That's how Allah made her look But at least she should make an effort To be the best That she can be For her husband And the husband should do the same For her We said This is narrated From some of the صحابة رضي الله عنهم That they were like this That they would make an effort For their wife So their wife would make an effort With them And if she made an effort It would be more than enough It would be more than enough And we'll come perhaps To some of the حديث Which will indicate more about this In شاء الله و تعالى As we progress through the course Our next حديث عن ابدي الله ابني عمر رضي الله عنهم أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال الدنيا متاع و خير متاع الدنيا المرأة الصالحة عبد الله ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما Said the message of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم Said This world is a metاع It's something temporary You enjoy your life in it for a time And the best of the temporary provision of the world The best of the things that you have For this temporary time in the world Is a righteous wife المرأة الصالحة Now I just added this To emphasize that a deen To emphasize a woman who is that a deen She's a person of religion I just really wanted to emphasize that Look at how the Prophet ﷺ described This whole دنيا is temporary This whole دنيا is just a provision You've been given that is going to run out At a specified time And the best thing you can have It's not a big house A beautiful car It's not loads of money The best thing you can have in this دنيا Is a مرأة الصالحة A righteous wife So the ideal wife She is صالحة She's righteous She's righteous She does righteous deeds She believes in Allah سبحانه وتعالى Her أقيدة Is the أقيدة بأهل السنة والجماعة Her actions are the actions Which are reported From the Prophet ﷺ His companions Those that his companions acted upon That's what she does She's صالحة She's righteous So that just adds to What we mentioned about That a deen وعن أنسن رضي الله عنه أنه قال كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يأمر بالباءة وينهى عن التباتر نهين شديدة ويقول تزوج الودود الولود إني مكاثر بكم الأنبياء يوم القيامة We already mentioned this hadith Earlier on in the course But I wanted to focus on two Aspects within this hadith The Hadith of Anas The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command People to marry And used to forbid celibacy With a strong prohibition And he said Marry the woman that is ودود and ولود Marry the woman that is ودود and ولود So marry the woman That is ودود She's loving She's loving And she is ولود She is going to bear you many children So from the characteristics Of the ideal wife Is that she's very loving And caring And that means She's loving towards her husband وجعل بينكم مودة ورحمة We put between you Love And mercy So it means That she's loving towards her husband And it also means That she's loving towards her family She's going to be a loving mother A caring mother Someone who The thing that is predominant In her personality Is she's loving and caring She's ودود She's loving and caring As for her being ولود Having many children And then there is an aspect of this That Or there are three aspects of this If you want to take it like that From the man's side He looks for a woman Who he thinks Will have many children He looks for a woman Who he thinks will have many children Now How would he look at that? There are two aspects First is Her desire to have many children And that's what the woman can control She can't control the second part Which is Whether he thinks she will be able to do that And that could be By looking at her family Does she come from a family That had many children Is she You know Within the family culture That she's in before marriage Is it that To have children Or is it that You know My career comes first And my children come second Or is it that You know I might want You know One child Or two Whatever The Prophet said to me Told us To marry a woman That is ودود She's loving and ودود She's going to give you many children So She's going to give you many children As we said There's an aspect A woman can control And an aspect She can't control The aspect she can't control Is the You know Genetics And so on And so forth And You know What Allah decreased For her to have from children But what she can't control Is Her desire to have kids The culture now Especially we take a lot From Western culture Like having very few children And That You know Children are maybe Very difficult And it's hard to manage And so on Whereas the Muslim culture Is to have many children The Prophet So I said إن مكاثيرا بكم والنبيا يوم القيامة In the narration of مققل يصار In سونة أبي داود إن مكاثيرا بكم والأمام I'm going to Boast of your numbers Before all the nations يوم القيامة And boast of the numbers Of righteous people And how The Muslim nation grows To have more and more Righteous people Is by having lots of children Having children is not an easy thing It's not an easy thing For either parent Especially not easy For a mother الله سبحانه وتعالى Told us حملته كرها ووضعته كرها She carried the baby In a hardship And she gave birth In hardship It's not an easy thing But the woman That is the ideal wife Is one That really genuinely Wants to have children And wants to have A lot of children As many as she can And the rest is down To Allah سبحانه وتعالى So even the husband When he's looking to get married Or the man He's looking to get married He's obviously going to look at Do I think إن شاء الله With the help of Allah She'll have a lot of children But these days The barrier is not The You know that Allah didn't You know She wanted to have children But Allah didn't decree For her to have children Or that You know she has some sickness Why she can't have children The barrier in these days is The woman doesn't want to have any kids She's like I don't want to have kids Kids are hardship And a burden And you know Like or she just wants To have very few children So That's not the characteristic Of the ideal wife She want to have as many children As is possible And feasible And whatever Allah سبحانه وتعالى Decrees after that It's not in her hands after that So we hope that that has At least explained That point The next characteristic That we're going to come to From the characteristics of the wife As we've already mentioned She is ودود But she should also be merciful And we can take this From the Aya Which we've already covered In sort of room Which is ayah number 21 ومن آياته And خلق لكم من أنفسكم أزواجا لتسكنوا إليها وجعل بينكم مودة ورحمة إن في ذلك لآيات لقومية تفكرون From the signs of Allah That He created for you From yourselves Spouses Your wives لتسكنوا إليها وجعل بينكم مودة ورحمة We're going to take three things from this ayah As it relates to the characteristic of the ideal wife Number one is that She should make her husband Feel comfortable لتسكنوا إليها She should make her husband Feel comfortable Make him feel at home Make him feel relaxed Make him feel سكينة Tranquility Make him feel That his heart is at peace That's how she should And she should strive To be a woman That that's her Her objective In terms of her marriage To make her husband Feel comfortable To make him feel peaceful Not to stress him out Not to be a worry for him Not to be a source of arguments for him For him to find سكينة with her لتسكنوا إليها She should be a woman of مودة Which we said الوادود The loving one المودة is very similar But it's a bit more than that That she Loves her husband She looks out for her husband Because part of مودة She's looking out for him Taking care of him Being there for him She's there for her husband And she's merciful towards him Sometimes he's not going to do the right thing And especially when the husband is In Islam at the head of the household Sometimes he makes decisions That are not right Sometimes he decides things That aren't correct But she has patience with it She forgives his mistake She overlooks if he's not If he's a bit distant one day And he's not as caring as he should be If he forgot about something That he was supposed to give her She overlooks it So this آية contains Three really really important things That we can take First of all That she tries to make her husband Feel peaceful Feel happy Content in his heart Feel relaxed When he's with her She doesn't stress him Or worry him Or argue with him She is a person Who loves her husband And looks out for him And takes care of him And she has mercy When he falls short in The things that she would normally expect from him She has mercy with him In that regard And she forgives him For the mistakes that he makes And this can be said also For the husband They can take it the other way And say the exact same thing About the husband That the husband should make his wife Feel comfortable Make her feel relaxed He should be loving towards her He should be looking out for her And he should be merciful towards her She makes a mistake He should overlook it And so on All of these can be said About the husband And the wife But I just brought this In the characteristics Of the wife We had spoken about it earlier Because I wanted to highlight The Tesqunu Ileha That she finds that He finds that tranquility With her That peace with her So she tries to make him comfortable She tries to make him relaxed And she tries to make him Feel That he's at peace When he's with her And she has that love And that care for him And also that mercy And forgiveness Towards him as well There is a حديث And the حديث is narrated in صحيح البخاري And it's a long حديث Regarding the story of حديبية I only want to read you a part of the حديث Because this part of the حديث Has a real benefit in it As it relates to the attributes That we would wish for In the ideal wife The narration is as follows فلما لم يقم منهم أحد دخل على أم سلمة فذكر لها مالقية من الناس فقالت أم سلمة يا نبي الله أتحب ذلك أخرج ثم لا تكلم أحد منهم كلمة حتى تنحر بدنك وتدعو حالقك فيحلقك وحلقك لذا في حديث حديبية The Prophet ﷺ كانت مقامة للشخص لأنهم لم يكلموا أن يقومون أمرة He commanded the people To shave their heads And to sacrifice their animals That they had brought with them No one did anything It's like they were frozen They just couldn't bring themselves to do it And the Prophet ﷺ became worried And he came to أم سلمة And he mentioned and he told أم سلمة The people are not This is what the people are doing They're not sacrificing I've told them to sacrifice They're not sacrificing I've told them to shave their head They're not shaving The head أم سلمة She said Oh Prophet of Allah Do you love or do you wish for this? She said Go out Don't say anything to anyone Then slaughter Your sacrificial animal And call for the person to shave your head So I'm going to ask you to pause the video here As we get towards the end of the class Pause the video And ask yourself What is the characteristic that we take From this حديث About the ideal wife? So hopefully you paused the video And had a think about it The characteristic that I think here is That the ideal wife is one who is Her husband feels comfortable to consult with her And she gives good advice to her husband So look at how the Prophet of Allah was shaken Because he had told his companions Slow to your animals Shave your Slow to your animals Shave your heads And they were just frozen It wasn't that they were disobeying the Prophet of Allah They just were completely frozen They just had They were just so shocked They couldn't bring themselves to do it The Prophet of Allah Straight away he felt like I could go and I can go and share this with أم سلمة So she was open like that Like he felt he could share with her And she was extremely wise And she had a lot of knowledge So he asked her He asked her about it And he mentioned And she gave him such good advice She said Go out Don't say anything to anyone Slow to your animal And shave your head When the people see the Prophet So I'm slow to his animal And shaving his head Then they will understand that it's to be done It will break the Like the way that they are frozen Like that It will just stop And the people will do it Because it's not that they want to disobey The Prophet of Allah It's just that they were So shocked by what happened And so lost That they just were like Frozen like a rabbit in the headlights And so here When the Prophet of Allah Went out and did it The people did What the Prophet of Allah Asked them To do So she was there for him That's a great character She was there for him She was He felt he could share and ask her advice And she gave excellent advice When he asked for it So this is These are from the characteristics Of the ideal wife In صورة النساء Allah عز و جل Mentioned a group of characteristics About the ideal wife And this is in Ayah number 34 Allah عز و جل Said فى الصالحاتو قاني تاتون حافظاتون للغيبي بما حافظ الله الله عز و جل Said The righteous women And we talked about righteousness Earlier on وخير متاع الدنيا المرأة الصالحة The righteous wife قاني تات So she said صالحات righteous قاني تات So قاني تات that Here is that She is submissive to Allah سبحانه وتعالى حافظاتون للغيب And this is the one That I wanted to highlight She takes care of herself When her husband is not there She is Protects herself in his absence And this is a characteristic of The ideal wife That she looks after Her husband Her husband's honor Her husband's property Her husband's reputation When he's not there حافظاتون للغيب She takes care of herself When the husband is not there She takes care of his property And he knows that when he goes She won't be doing something He wouldn't approve of She won't be going out In a way that he wouldn't approve She won't be dressing In a way that he wouldn't approve She won't be mixing with people In a way that he wouldn't approve She won't be bringing people Into the house In a way that he wouldn't approve She won't be using the house In a way that he wouldn't approve حافظاتون للغيب بمحافظ الله She's looking after things In her husband's absence And that's the one that I wanted to Focus upon In this particular آية In صورة النساء Also I wanted to mention a حريث And this حريث Is a حريث Of أبي هوريرة رضي الله عنه إذا صلت المرأة خمسها وصامت شهرها وحصنت فرجها وأطاعت بعلها دخلت من أي أبواب الجنة شاعت إذا فرقت رجلها في رجلها وردها رمضان فهذا هو بحيث دين بحيث دين She's a person of religion وردها بحيثها وردها She's chased She takes care of her chastity وردها حافظاتون للغيب In her husband's absence وأطاعت بعلها And this is the one that I wanted from this حريث That she obeys her husband So from the characteristics of the ideal wife Is that she's obedient to her husband Now obedience to the husband And again we talk about this later on We talk about marital disagreements And the way the family should be structured And things like that But obedience to the husband Is not an absolute It's obedience to him In what is not disobedience to Allah So if he tells her to do something haram Then that's not an option At the end of the day obedience to Allah comes first And it doesn't mean that husband is better than her It doesn't mean that he's Necessarily higher in the sight of Allah But Allah has organized a family like that Allah has organized the husband To be at the head of the family So the woman for that to work She has to listen to what her husband says Of course if he tells her to do haram She's not going to do it With the best of manners And the most kind of behavior But she's not going to do it But if he tells her to do something halal Or he tells her to do something Which in the first place Is something that Allah Which I've recommended Or made obligatory Whatever the case may be She's going to obey her husband in that If she does that What does she get? She can enter from any of the eight doors of paradise Which ever door That she wants Which ever door that she wants She can enter paradise from any gate Now I think that is a huge advantage For a woman Because a man to enter each of those eight doors Has to do the deeds of those eight doors For example Arrayan The door of fasting He has to be someone who fasts And does voluntary fasts And strict on his fasting And always does as many fasts as he can Then he can be from the people of Arrayan The one who enters the doors of fasting But as for the woman She prays a five daily prayers She fasts her Ramadan She keeps herself chased And she looks after Or obeys her husband Any door of the eight doors of jannah Go in whichever one you want And that's a big blessing For a woman It's not a big request is it To pray five times a day Fast a month of Ramadan Keep yourself chased And obey your husband It's not a lot to ask for To be able to enter any of the doors of jannah That she wishes We're going to cover one more hadith This hadith is the hadith of عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال يا معشر النسى تصدق وأكثرنا الاستغفار فإني رأيت كنا أكثر أهل النار فقالت امرأة منهم جزلة وما لنا يا رسول الله أكثر أهل النار قال تكثرنا اللعن وتكفرنا العشير This hadith of عبد الله بن عمر من رضي الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنه قال All group of women Give charity And make a lot of istighfar So that's also two characteristics of women in general Married or unmarried But particularly married That they give a lot of sadaqa And make a lot of istighfar For I saw you to be the majority of the people of the fire A woman among them said Asking the Prophet ﷺ What has made us the majority of the people of the fire? The Prophet ﷺ said You curse frequently And you are ungrateful towards your husband So again Like we looked at the men who do things wrong And we looked at the hadith of Umzar And we spoke about the men that fall short And how we can reverse it I want to reverse this First of all The sadaqa The istighfar And also The fact that we reverse the other two That she doesn't She tries not to curse She tries not to get emotional And say Allah cursed this person Some women curse their own children Some women curse their own husbands Some people curse their own parents والعياذ بالله We seek refuge with Allah So she doesn't Let herself like the man Doesn't let himself be frequently on the talaq She doesn't let herself frequently Involve curses upon people And she's grateful for what her husband did Look at the hadith of Umzar Inna How grateful she was For what her husband did for her Even though he divorced her Most women would say He divorced me And I never remember anything before that But سبحان الله Here He divorced her But she only mentioned the good from him And this تكفرنا العشير You're ungrateful towards your husband Is the example of the person who says I've lived all this time with you وما رأيت منك خيرا قط And I've never seen anything good from you You've never done anything good from me Or you've never been there for me You've never listened to me You've never helped me You've never spent on me You've never All this with never, never, never This is what the ideal wife doesn't say She says Look, you've done good for me And maybe sometimes you fell shorter Than what I would want No problem But she doesn't say You've never done any good from me I've never seen any good from you You've never been good for me I wish I'd never married you And all of these statements Because this can bring her To be from the people of the Of the fire That's what Allah عز و جل Made it easy For us to mention in this lesson And Allah عز و جل Was best وصلات و السلام على نبينا محمد وعلى آله و صحبه 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 to be running Make sure you head over To amauathome.com

I'm a mom of two young boys. My kids have 100% Christmas magic. They believe in it, they see it. I see Christmas magic in their eyes every single moment during the holidays. There was always this crazy nervousness on Christmas Eve. Every noise outside, every time the leaves would rustle a little bit, I would think, oh my gosh, is this it? That's a Christmas memory and something that I'll hang on to for the rest of my life. Thank you for watching.


Welcome back to my channel and happy Friday. I just got to my WW workshop It's about 6 25, so I wanted to hop on before I go in and kind of let you guys know how my week went. Oh My gosh My week has been Insanely busy my real estate career has gotten off to a fantastic start I'm about to list my first home today after I leave WW I'm about to go put an offer in on my friend and clients home that she's buying So it's just been busy, you know I've been doing a lot of open houses and just trying to get clients trying to build my business It's been crazy, but I am happy to report and proud to say that Considering the craziness my food has been pretty darn good. I there were a couple days that I didn't track my entire day It just got away from me towards the end of the day and my husband And I ended up buying a pull-behind utility trailer for our home Since we have some property just to take to the dump hauler four-wheeler We have a riding mower and a snowblower that we take in for service every year And we've just been on the struggle bus trying to figure out how we're gonna Maneuver having property and take things in and clean up our yard and go to the dump so ended up buying a utility trailer and that was I don't know I think Tuesday of this last week. So we went out for dinner and I had a hamburger and a french fry I tracked it. I think I ended up a couple points over that day. So Overall my food for the week has been really good. It's been really busy. I haven't been doing my walking Like I said, it's just been busy. So I really need to focus on getting back to that I just I get up in the morning and I start working So I need to just take that half an hour 45 minutes an hour To myself in the morning and walk because I feel better when I'm doing that. I mean, I'm Active I'm running around a lot during the day, but obviously that's not the same as Exercising getting your heart rate elevated. So I need to get back to that. But overall my food was good It's about time for my favorite part of being a girl I'm feeling a little bit Crampy and you know those types of things. So that's coming as well So I don't know what's gonna happen when I step on the scale. I'm hoping for a loss I'll take a loss any loss anybody want to give a loss? So I'm hoping to have a good loss when I step on the scale So I'm gonna head into my workshop. I'll be back to share my way in and what we talked about this week Hey guys, I just got out of my WW workshop. It went really well It was a great workshop as always and the topic was something a little bit different Something that since I've been going to WW workshops We haven't talked about but definitely a topic worth discussing and that is sleep and getting enough sleep And when we don't get enough sleep how that impacts our weight loss journey So let's talk a little bit about the good and the bad and what you should get for hours of sleep And what the negative impact is on your weight loss program with a lack of sleep So how much sleep should we be getting? So science says that those people that get less than six hours of sleep per night Over the course of a short period of time that has a negative impact on your mood on your immune system And most importantly on your weight loss the average person who has a lack of sleep who's tired who's cranky eats 385 calories a day more than they should just think about that do the math on that you guys that Equals one pound a week just from that extra 385 calories that you're eating every day because you're tired For some reason when we're tired we turn to food So let me know in the comments do you guys do that because I know I'm a hundred Percent guilty of that when I'm tired not only do I not make good food choices, right? That's a given I'm not reaching for the broccoli. I'm reaching for the sweets or the chips But I'm also eating more and I don't know what it is in our body that makes us do that But I know for me that is definitely a symptom of lack of sleep for me as it states by science You should be getting seven to nine hours of sleep a day. That is what is recommended. That is what is healthy That is what helps boost your moons immune system your mood Stabilizes your body's functions your daily functions of your body gives you the energy that you need to do your exercise To make good food choices. So sleep is incredibly important Basically to the quality of our life, but really important in our weight loss So what can we do to ensure that we're getting the right amount of sleep? Quality sleep and better sleep. So 30 minutes before you go to bed pick a calming activity to do Whether that's taking a shower taking a bath reading a book listening to an audiobook But most importantly stay away from electronic devices. Don't be on your laptop your phone your tablet stay away from those that light that bright light and Concentrating on what you see on a bright screen inhibits sleep. So it's not calming for you and I again 100% guilty. I'm on my phone every night before I go to bed So I'm going to make a conscious effort to not be on my phone or any electronic device before I go to bed For me if I just lay there with my eyes open or closed just in the dark in the quiet and just breathe calmly It helps me fall asleep Faster and I feel like I get better quality sleep Another thing that I've noticed is not to eat right before I go to bed and I'm talking anything a snack Any of those things I get way less quality of sleep when I eat before I go to bed Especially if I'm eating a really late heavy dinner. It's terrible for my quality of sleep So I cut myself off from food by 6 p.m So there are nights that that doesn't always work out if I'm out showing a property or for whatever reason if I'm just not Able to get all of my meals in by 6 p.m But I like to at least have one to two hours before I go to bed to my allow my food to digest and not eat Anything else an only drink water in that one to two hour timeframe before bed So those are things that I do that help me calm down and get a good night's sleep So the second thing that suggested for you is set an alarm or something that notifies you to do that nighttime activity 30 minutes before you go to bed. So I'm in bed by 8 8 30. So 7 7 30 I'm going to have an alarm on my phone I'm going to schedule that at the end of a particular TV show that I watch every night that ends at the 7 30 Or 8 o'clock timeframe that way you remain consistent in your before bed activity Consistency is important in every aspect of our life our diet our exercise Working our WW program our sleep schedule going to work It is a well-known fact that consistency is a good thing in all aspects of our life So set a reminder for yourself to do that activity that helps calm you 30 minutes before you go to bed And third think about the reward you're getting from doing this particular Bedtime activity 30 minutes before you fall asleep It may be getting more sleep better quality of sleep. You may fall asleep faster It is a proven fact that 50% of the US population has a hard time sleeping and that's half of us you guys I mean look around the room that you're currently in whether you're at work or home or in a grocery store half of those people have a hard time falling asleep or getting good quality of sleep and we know that we make better choices Food especially when we have a good amount of sleep So highlight the reward that you're getting from that quality sleep and you doing this 30 minute before you go to bed routine So those are some tips for you to get a better quality of sleep. I love my sleep I need at least eight hours a night of sleep or I'm a little cranky I'm not really my best self if I don't get my sleep So I like to go to bed early get up early. It's my routine But do the routine that works for you but make sure that 30 minutes before you go to bed that you actually take time and calm down and Relax and ensure that you're getting a good night's sleep. So let's talk about my weigh-in. So like I said, I had an extremely extremely Extremely busy week, but overall my weigh-in went Decent so when I stepped on the scale, I am down a total of point six not very much guys But at least I'm down. I'll take it. I need to Do a little bit better. I need to be walking more. I need to be consistent in my tracking I'll start my day off Tracking I mean comment below. Do you guys do that? Do you track your breakfast? And then it falls apart the rest of the day I am making the commitment to myself for this next week to do two things number one I'm going to track every day Everything everything that goes into my mouth every single day this next week good bad and different It's going into my tracker and the second thing that I am committing myself to doing this next week Is I'm going to get back to my walking. I live in an area where we have winter. It's cold It's snowy. It's crummy and we are about to move on into September Which is the start of fall which I love fall, but my chances to walk outside are Dwindling and I'm not taking advantage of these last couple months of being able to walk outside and enjoy that morning Getaway that relaxed time watch YouTube listen to the radio while I'm walking So I am committing myself this week that I am going to walk five days Monday through Friday or I'm sorry Not Monday through Friday. I can't walk Friday. I go to Weight Watchers, but I'm committing myself to walking Monday through Thursday so four days this week I'm getting up in the morning and I'm going to walk so in order to stick to what I am saying I'm going to film myself on my walk Monday through Thursday this week And you will see that in next week's Friday weigh-in that way I hold myself to what I'm saying and I show you that I'm committed to getting back into my walking routine And I'm also which is exciting in the process of finishing setting up a little home gym Where I have a treadmill some weights so that when winter comes I can remain walking and using my treadmill and my weights throughout the winter So of course, I'll be taking you guys along and showing you my little workout space in my house So I am committed to tracking tracking tracking and I am committed to walking four days And you will be seeing that in next Friday's video So I'll insert all the clips of me walking with the date so I can show you that I stuck to what I was going to say and again, it holds myself accountable as well. So let's have a fantastic week Let's track. Let's do our activity Let's set up a nighttime 30 minute before bed routine and let's have a fantastic week And let's see a much bigger loss on the scale next week.
