Welcome to another one of my Dr. Sadler Chalk and Talk videos. In this one I'm responding to a question that I got on VU. A really great question. It has to do with sort of nitty-gritty on one common ethical approach. I think this is a good question to ask for any moral theory that is worth it. How can I practice virtue ethics day-to-day? So, what concrete things, what sort of program can I put in place if I bought into this moral theory of virtue ethics? And there's a lot of different variants of this out there, but broadly speaking, if I've accepted that this is a good thing, what do I need to do to actually make it work?  These are not an exhaustive list of possible things you can do. They do reinforce each other or connect up with each other. If you read classic virtue ethicists like Plato or Aristotle or Augustine, Thomas Aquinas, St. Anselm, even Epictetus to a certain extent, could be considered a virtue ethicist, and you're going to see a lot of this kind of advice being talked about, maybe not quite so explicitly, but I think it's all good ideas. So I divided it into four different areas. There's practice, what do you actually do to build up virtues within you, material and vices? Self-examination, I abbreviated as self-exam, just to put it on the board. There's category of models, which is very important for virtue ethics. And then key ideas. Actually, I think I would like to add something to key ideas, which is be critical about prevailing ideas about these things. So let's actually start with key ideas. Virtue ethics is a more or less systematic way of approaching moral life and decision making, development, judging between right and wrong, good and bad, even to a certain extent, other values like the noble and the base. And there are certain key ideas, and I put the word dogma here. Epictetus actually uses that word, and I think it's a good thing to think about. Oftentimes we think dogmas is bad things. But in ancient philosophy, what a dogma was, this got used in religious context afterwards, is something that you need to believe, something that you need to accept, something that you need to buy into, if you want to make progress. So if, for example, you want to do certain schools of sociology, there's certain basic dogmas that you have to accept, like I'm going to say at the very beginning, I'm not going to accept those. Well, then you can't do that kind of thing. Or if you want to do a certain kind of literary criticism, let's say it's psychoanalytically based, then you have to buy into some things that are coming from psychoanalysis. If you don't buy into them, well, you're not going to do that sort of thing. So it works that way with virtue ethics as well. I would say one of the key ideas is you have to actually buy into the notion that you are to some degree responsible for your character. If you think that you're not, then you just can't do virtue ethics. You also can't be a relativist in any real sense of the virtue ethicist. You can't say it's all just a matter of opinion. Plato thought this, Nietzsche thinks this, and I think this, and Jerry Springer thinks that. That won't work. You actually have to be committed to the idea that some ways of life are better than others that are more fully human, are realizing what's within us better, are lead to flourishing more and more often, and some ways of life are less likely to do that. That's something you'd have to buy into. There's a lot of key ideas, even getting down to a level of what is temperance, or what is justice, that once you've got a hold of them, and once you understand them, understanding them is itself kind of an achievement, then you ought to hold on to them. So you want to reinforce those. You want to think about those day after day. You don't want to just learn it once, and then let it all slide, or imagine that it's going to stick with you all the time. And so I think that along with that goes, you have to study it yet each day. I'm not saying that you necessarily have to carry Aristotle's Nicomacan ethics around your back pocket and pop it open every so often, but I think that if you want to make progress in virtue ethics, you probably want to do some study every day. This doesn't necessarily have to be reading the primary texts. I mean, you could read a summary of Aristotle if it's a good summary, or read somebody else's commentary, but I think if you actually want to make progress with this, because virtue ethics is not like some other ethical theories where you just lay the whole theory out, now it's done, now we just apply it. A lot of virtue ethics makes sense gradually. As you progress, the different pieces start to make more sense. So I think it's really good to keep going back to the text over and over again. And I say it, study a bit.  I think along with that goes being critical about some of the prevailing ideas about good and bad, right and wrong.  To be critical means to be a good judge. And again, that takes some development over time as well. So if somebody, for example, says that, here's a classic position. Well, you know, this show has the highest ratings so it must be the best show in the sense of not just most popular but there must be something morally good about it. That's pretty questionable, right? That's something that you'd want to think about. You want to say, oh, wait a second there. That's a kind of questionable assumption. You don't necessarily have to argue with people about it but you should at least think about it. So those are ways in which we would gradually make key ideas of virtue ethics our own, our possession. Something that we hold onto in our heads or in our hearts or in our soul. Models are also very, very important for virtue ethics too. One of the things that I always found most attractive about virtue ethics is the focus on the character of the person rather than just their individual one-time act, you know, at this point to that point, looking at a person over time. What kind of a person are they and how do they display this and how do other people view them? So I think whenever you hear people throwing around terms that describe qualities or traits of character and saying that somebody is good or bad because of those, I think you want to think about that. I think you want to stop and see if you can compare it to some of these key ideas that you've gotten through study and I think you want to sort of start disentangling who's a good judge about this and who's kind of a sloppy judge about this or who has a clear conception of say what integrity consists in and who just likes throwing around the word. But also look to see when people are making judgments. If they judge the same way about similar cases, a lot of people like to use the language of good or bad traits as a kind of reward and punishment system. So people that they like, they'll find out sorts of good traits in them until those people cross them because they never actually had those traits to begin with and then suddenly they're bad guys and now they'll find out sorts of bad things to say about them. You know, if you find people like that, I'm only going to bet there's some people like that in your life or if you find yourself doing that sort of thing, that's not going to be very compatible with a virtue ethics way of thinking about things. On the other hand, if you find people that can tell you why they say that this person has integrity or why they say that that person is fundamentally dishonest and their explanations make good sense, you will hold on to those people. So think about the qualities that people mention. I think it's very important to look at your media consumption and I'm not, you know, totally consistent with this myself.  There's something strangely entertaining and attractive about him for me. But you know, from a virtue ethics perspective, he's not a good guy. As a matter of fact, he's clearly a vicious character. He even has some self-knowledge about his vicious character, which doesn't actually make it good. I think you want to look at your media consumption. So what sort of TV shows are you watching? What sort of things are you watching in, you know, web TV or internet or on YouTube? What are you focusing on? What kind of movies are you watching and talking about? What kind of magazines do you read? What kind of lifestyle do they push? Do they push a lifestyle which is essentially just hedonistic? Or are they very, you know, moralistic but not in a virtue ethics way?  Do they put you in the script where some people are the bad guys no matter what and other people are the good guys? That may not even be compatible with virtue ethics. So you want to look at your media consumption. Think about your family and your friends and your work in a couple different ways. If you come from or if you immerse yourself in environments where people are for the most part vicious or simply lack self-control, it will be harder for you to be virtuous. It will be harder for you in a variety of ways.  That will wear on you. We're very prospective about what traits are good and what traits are bad and why they are good and why they're bad might get skewed as a result as well. So I think it's worth looking at, you know, what your family is and what kind of characters they have. Your friends, we have someone more control over. And what goes on in your workplace.  I don't just mean follow employees, too. If you have clients, maybe you need to think about your clients and how you interact with them and how they see you. Pick the people that you see actually have good qualities and try to spend more time with them. Try to interact with them. Try to figure out how you would emulate them. Those who have very bad qualities maybe spend less time criticizing them and more time figuring out whether you have anything in common with them that you need to look at. So that's a good segue into self-examination. And I think a lot more could be said about this. So I'm going to resist the temptation to blather on and on and on and only talk about three things. One great time to look at yourself is when you catch yourself facing a situation of temptation. And what is the situation of temptation?  And you find yourself kind of wavering. You catch yourself. You see yourself as a kind of internal debate or conflict or wavering. Well, that's when you want to actually look at yourself. Why do you feel this way? What's going on in you? Why do you see these goods like this? If you know something that is a lesser good, why are you being attracted to it? Sometimes temptation can be a matter of two different evils and you pick one thing that is actually not the lesser evil because you really want to avoid this thing over here. So it doesn't have to always be positive things. Another thing I would say is you get in conflicts with other people and conflicts can cover wide range. It can be shouting matches, it can be text exchanges, it can be email flurries, it can be sort of less overt ones gossiping about people. That's a matter of conflict. We argue about all different things. There's a conflict of all different things. Personal, not quite as personal, bigger picture stuff. Some of the virtues you have to do with how we conduct ourselves when we're in a conflict, those that have to do with anger or temperance or Aristotle's virtue of friendliness actually means being able to set down limits and say to friends, I'm not going to do that bad thing that you want me to, being willing to give them the pain. Some people just like to give people pain that way. That's not a good thing, that's not a good advice. So some vices and virtues bear directly in how we act in conflicts. Some other vices and virtues have to do with why we get into the conflicts that we do. If you are an intemperate person, if you're at the prey of your bodily desires, you probably will get into more conflicts I'm willing to bet than somebody who's more self-controlled. So you might want to look at that. If you're an unjust person, you probably need to look at that too, because if you're unjust, you're not only going to get into conflicts with other people who are just, you're going to get into conflicts with other people who are unjust. Finally, to tie this together, I think when you're doing self-examination, it's not just enough to look at individual circumstances or occasions or incidents. You also want to reflect in a broader way, perhaps daily, on what it is that you really think is good, what it is that you really desire, what it is that you're attracted to, and think about what kind of person that shows you to be, and whether you're happy with being that kind of person. What would it take to change that sort of thing? So that leads us finally to practice. I just have two things here. One thing has to do with habits. Aristotle says, and most virtue ethics follows along this line, that we become virtuous through habituation. What does that mean? Well, first we're not originally temperate, or courageous, or just, or self-controlled with respect to anger, or anything like that. Somebody either makes us act that way, or we force ourselves to act that way, or we choose to act that way perhaps for an external reward, or to avoid a punishment, or something like that.  And then after a while, we want to behave that way. That's the natural way for us to behave. And this works that way for virtues, and it works that way for vices too. If you keep on acting unjustly, or boasting about yourself, you will become an unjust person, or you will become a boaster, or your character will be harder to root out. So, you know, actually practicing, doing the things you have to do, if you have problems with time management, the only way to fundamentally change that, you know, as far as your character is concerned, is to actually make yourself exercise good time management. I'm not sure if I have to think about which virtue I would fall on here, probably temperance to a certain extent. If you find yourself being stingy, and you want to quit being stingy, you've got to break yourself of that habit, and you have to replace it with a new habit. So you have to act in a generous way to other people. The other thing is, very often people think of this in terms of, well, I just got to build a habit so I can do it in kind of unconscious way. No, you have to actually know what you're doing, and you have to choose it. You have to, as they often say, take ownership, right? You have to decide this for yourself. And at a certain point, if you want to become virtuous, you don't want to just do what's in accordance with virtue, you actually want to become virtuous, you have to choose that as a good for you. You have to see that as a good thing for you. And then you have to pursue it. And choosing that would involve this entire matrix of things, because these are all different ways in which you can concretely choose in your day-to-day life to practice virtue ethics. So not a complete answer, but not bad for 20 minutes.


Albert Crossley was born on July 6th, 1903 in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Al was a skilled bike racer and was soon winning amateur bike races at the outdoor tracks in New England and New York. In 1929, he started six-day racing at the age of 21 and completed 12 years as a rugged professional six-day racer until 1940. In the early 1930s, Al was the New England sprint champion while riding on tracks of his home base of Boston, Massachusetts and Providence, Rhode Island. During his career, he started 89 six-day races, completing 78 of them. Crossley's most successful racing year was in 1935 when at the age of 28, he competed in 11 six-day races and won four of them. Of his 10 overall six-day wins, seven of them came when he was teamed with 2008 U.S. Bicycling Hall of Fame inductee, Jimmy Walthour, who was his partner for 36 six-day races. Other Hall of Fame racing partners included Charlie Winter, Bobby Walthour Jr., Norman Hill, William Cecil Yates and Freddie Spencer. Crossley competed in six-day races on tracks from coast to coast as well as in Europe. His favorite racing cities were Montreal with 13 races, followed by New York, Chicago, Toronto, Buffalo, Milwaukee, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. Crossley's career results included 10 victories, 15 second places, 17 thirds and 16 times finishing fourth. The only American racer ranked ahead of Crossley on the all-time six-day race results list is Jimmy Walthour. Al Crossley, one of the greatest American six-day racers ever.


The Independent National Electoral Commission, INEC, will hold an emergency meeting with all resident Electoral Commissioners across the state over attacks on its offices. INEC Chairman, Information and Vote Education Committee, Festa Sokoye, said this earlier this year, yesterday evening, on our political show, Plus Politics, that in that all resident Electoral Commissioners will be summoned in Abuja on the 19th of May. The Commission's office in the Hafea Local Government Area of Abuja State was set ablaze by hoodlums on Sunday night, a week after the Commission's headquarters in Essien-Udim Local Government Area of Acquivum State was also razed by unknown persons. It, however, insists that it will not affect its resolve to conduct successful elections in 2023. This commission is determined not to allow some of these things to set us back in relation to our plans and preparations for the 2023 election. The implication is that in some of these local governments, we are not going to have the services of our main office for the running of this election. Because if you want to reconstruct these offices, you have to award contracts, conform to the Procurement Act, conform to some other things, and then get these offices ready. So the implication is that we may have to conduct these elections and some of the electoral activities from a rented office.

Cornets on the receiving end he's got a big return all the way down the sideline before being drugged down deep in the Valley territory Somerset a big way to get this one started that'll lead to quarterback Mason Reese looking to throw and he'll find wide receiver Zach Childers in the end zone touchdown Briar jumpers they go on top early later in the game Somerset with possession briefs hands

toughest non-district single a schedules in the state have started to play their best football of the year here's Pikeville coach Chris McNamee with his thoughts on Williamsburg I think our guys came out ready to play you know we knew that you know playoff you know first round playoffs and in the past few years it's been we've been a one-seed going against a four-seed and you know we have to approach that a little bit differently this year because we were two going against a three and we felt like Harlan's gonna be a little better competition what we've paid faced in the past but our guys we got off to a good start I thought offensively and defensively and able to pull away there early I think for the whole month of September we were on the road and one of those trips being out to Calloway County which was a seven-hour bus right ride but we try to use that as an example of you know what we did well and didn't do well on that trip and how we can make this trip better and of course this game's a little more meaningful than that and being able to stay focused and and all that will be a big part of this week well really good football team and you know we played them two years ago in the playoffs and they were they were all freshmen and sophomores and now they're all juniors and seniors so it's I know they're a more experienced team in quarterback does a really nice job throwing the ball that's some good receivers to throw it to you know they've had a couple linemen go out with the entry this year but still a solid football team won that district over there had a buy this past week so they've had two weeks to get ready for us and it's gonna it's gonna be a big challenge for us that's Pikeville and Williamsburg coming up Friday night we've got more on the way don't go anywhere I'm back with more right after this brought to you by Jimmy John's gourmet sandwiches and this has been my definition of fresh since 1983 the good folks at Howard family pharmacy

have never seen and they're right here at home so tune in Thanksgiving EKB TV wandering around the hills with Ronnie Hill and this has been my definition of fresh since 1983 welcome back to armchair quarterback we continue with last week's highlights and Friday night the Belfrey Pirates began defense of their Kentucky 3a state title KM Stadium was the scene as Thomas Nelson out of Bardstown made the trip to the mountains in round one of the Commonwealth Gridiron Bowl the Pirates get things started Avery Browning running the option he'll pitch to Justin Adkins and he'll get Belfrey deep in Thomas Nelson territory later Browning with the handoff up the middle Derek Welman the big fullback he breaks free into the end zone for six Belfrey will force a generals punt Devin Varney will field it for the Pirates he's got open field to the near sideline and he's brought down but not before a huge return Browning now takes a snap and surveys the field nothing open so he'll tuck it and run he'll break a tackle and another and he'll get up field to set up the first down again Browning under center this time gives it to wellman straight up the gut and it's off to the races 35 yards untouched for wellman the Pirates now looking to add to the lead Browning will drop back to pass he'll fire deep down the near sideline Justin Adkins holes an end for the huge pickup the Pirates now trying to cap off the drive wellman one more time up the middle touchdown Belfrey the Pirates roll 63 26 over Thomas Nelson and advanced around two of the playoffs Louisville Wagner will be at Belfrey it's our EKB TV game of the week while the Belfrey Pirates continue to roll against class 3a opponents Belfrey currently riding a 21 game playoff win streak we spoke to Belfrey head coach Philippe would about last week's win and this week's opponent it wasn't necessarily great performance but it was we played well and Thomas Nelson had a good football team I thought everyone they did things well their record was a little bit deceiving because of we felt like they played a tough schedule come in with some of the teams there in central Kentucky and they executed well but offensively we played very well and our defense kind of got going along with that and did what we needed to do to kind of put the game away so we were pleased with our kids performance or young guys played the entire second half and added a couple of scores on so we advanced and that's what you have to do in the playoffs you're not always going to play your very best every night and you certainly wouldn't want to necessarily do it in your in the first round well a lot of similarities between say this week and you know five weeks ago but it's you know I think one of our coaches made the comment that we just need to pay attention to detail we just got to do the little things right because at this point in the season you know everybody kind of knows your offense knows your defense when you play different opponents they know what you're going to do it's how well that you can execute your offense how well you play your defense how well you understand what your opponent is trying to do to you so as long as we can do those things and pay attention to the little things and get better at those things that's always our goal is get a little better each day and a little better each week and I think with as much youth as we have on this team you know we've got a good blend of seniors but not necessarily a whole lot of experience so I still think we have some growth to go on this team and hopefully we'll get a play long enough to where we can reach our full potential but these guys the one they've got one great characteristic they play hard they get behind they they get shots thrown at them early in the game so they're kind of used to that and defensively we're not real big but we just get in there and battle people and it doesn't really matter what the score is or if the team moves the ball on us or anything like that we just line up and play hard and play the next play and I think that's the one thing I like about this team I remember one night in the locker room at halftime you know another team been moving the ball on us but we were really battling them and hanging in there in the game and and I just made the comment to them then said you know I'm starting to like you guys and and that's that's kind of this football team their MO is we're gonna play hard we'll play with you all night long something that does concern us a little bit because we haven't really played a spread team in about a month it's been a while since somebody's lined up in a gun and spread us out and got all that speed and quickness and Huntington was like at Bryan Station was like that but that was really early in the season so I'm not sure how we're gonna react to this the first couple of series in the game it's almost like we're gonna have to get used to it again because of the style of play we've had for the last month of the season the key to victory is going to be containing them taking away big plays and then controlling the line of scrimmage the pirates host Louis Wagner Friday night it will also be veterans recognition night at cam stadium all veterans in attendance will be introduced at halftime the belfry community invites each of you to join them in paying tribute to our veterans for their service to our country and Friday night the number two ranked mingo central minors were on the road at number nine winfield in the West Virginia regular season finale the general is looking to secure a home playoff game the minors with their sights on the on the top seed Jeremy Dillon mingo central quarterback in the shotgun he'll find Dawson Eli open down the sideline and into the end zone for mingo's first score again Dylan in the shotgun he'll fake the handoff didn't looks downfield finds drew Hatfield in stride and off to the races a 72 yard touchdown mingo

فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجبيل وشدوا الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل وشدوا النسيدنا ونبينا محمد سم الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بيحسان إلى يوم دين أما بعد وإن كتاب دفع إيهام للضرب دفع إيهام للضرب عن آيات الكتاب رتن باي الشيخ العلمة محمد الأمين من محمد المختار ابن عبد القادر الجكني الشنقيطي رحمه الله تعالى وياؤن السكث فاس الشيخ رحمه الله يسيز قوله تعالى لا استيقبنا بله مثلهم كمثل الذي استوقد نارا الشيخ سيز أفرد في هذه الآية الضميرة في قوله استوقد وفي ما حوله وجمع الضميرة في قوله ذهب الله بنورهم وتركهم في ظلمات لا يبصرون مع أن مرجع كل هذه الضمائر مع أن مرجع كل هذه الضمائر وهو لفضة اللذي من قوله مثلهم كمثل الذي الشيخ رحمه الله يسيز قوله 17 سورة البقرة وان now he wants to إن شاء الله تعالى uplift an apparent contradiction that may occur to some people's minds now this one with all honesty does not seem like a contradiction in any way, form or shape but the sheikh رحمه الله تعالى his way of dealing in this book as I said to you is that he does not care the level of concern regarding a verse because the issue of seeing a verse contradictive is a subjective matter it differs from person to person some people may not see this as a contradiction where some others may so the sheikh's job رحمه الله was the way he dealt with this was that he made sure that every verse that may have any form of concern regarding it or even a question mark to it by anyone he wants to answer it for them but as I said this verse does not seem to have any flaws or any contradiction regarding it but as I know it in the Quran does but the issue is some verses the concern and the worry might be a bit high for some people or a lot of people but this one seems like it's not going to be for a lot of people the sheikh's concern or the he wants to bring out that may occur to some people is that the ayah says مثلهم كمثة للذي استوقد he says أفرد في هذه في هذه الآية الضمرة the pronoun in this verse which is اللذي in which الله تعالى uses for the no sorry استوقد نار but الله says ما حوله حوله the ha in there حوله is a pronoun the singular are you with me so أفرد في هذه الآية الضميرة في قولي استوقد نارا so وفي ما حوله behind حوله the pronoun in there the ha is singular وجمع الضميرة في قوله and then look it's plural what ذهب الله بنورهم بنورهم is a pronoun plural وتركهم is another plural في ظلمات الله يبصر so الله سبحانه وتعالى is speaking about the same people one time referring to them in a singular and one time referring to them in a plural even that though all of these pronouns are going back to what اللذي the one that says ما حوله if you the merger of that ضمير the returning of that ضمير what that hat goes back to is اللذي بنورهم وتركهم both go back to us what اللذي as well مع أن مرجع كل هذه الضمائلي شيء وحده وهو لفظة اللذي they all go back to the wording اللذي which is in what مثالهم كمثال للذي so look we have here we have ما حوله the hat is going back to who اللذي that pronoun goes back to اللذي دهب الله بنورهم وتركهم is going back to what اللذي so how does that work والجواب عن هذا the answer to this is أن لفظة اللذي مفردون so the sheikh now is going to give us three answers محمد مينش رحم الله is going to give us three answers of how to answer it two answers are strong according to him and the third opinion is very weakens it he weakens the third opinion the first one is أن لفظة اللذي مفردون that the word اللذي is singular wording ومعنى هو عمل but the meaning in it is plural لكل ما تشمله صلتها based on everything in which it is connected to in other words اللذي is a sila and it has موصول it is a sila connecting to something that is connected to and this is something we took remember when we took it about ألفاض العموم did we not say اللذي is from ألفاض العموم سيغ العموم when we took سيغ العموم we said من من استفهام whether it is a استفهام and etc we said ما اللذي all of those in عصول الفق they are dealt with as سياغ العموم and that's what the sheikh says وقد تقرر في علم العصولي أن الأسماء المصولة كلها من سياغ العموم they are from what they are from the general generalization عموم and we did that before when we spoke about it is in a specific book when we were speaking about when we were speaking about the عموم we said the عموم whether it is a موصولة is it شرطية or استفهام we said ما if it is a موصولة اسم موصولة الاستغراقية كل المفرد المضاف انكرة في سياق النهي انكرة في سياق النهي او الاستفهامي او الشرطة we spoke about that it is not the case اللذي is from اسم موصول and it is from سياغ العموم but we have to take an exception out of here generally speaking the اسم موصول it shows what عموم إلا ما دلت دليو على انه لم يرد منها العموم except anything that it is not intended it is not intended to show generalization such as خوله تعالى الله statement والذي احسنت فرجها this is not meant by every person ما الذي اسم موصولة but it is not meant by every woman it is only meant by who مران is the one that is intended here the only person who is intended here is اسم مران المران هو اللتي احسنت even though the well-net is used here this well-net is not عموم it is only specifically to her and the evidence is shown that it is specifically to her but generally speaking نعم that اسم الموصولة is from سياغ العموم we took that فإذا تحقق ذلك so if that is the case فعلم know ان افراد الضمير باعتبار لفضة اللذي وجمعه باعتبار معنى now somebody is going to ask you and say to you ما حوله is that plural or is that singular? ما حوله is that singular and it is going back to what الذي that is looking already as a letter the wording so that ما حوله is going back to the wording whereas ذهب الله بنورهم واتراكهم when it is plural it is not going back to the wording it is going back to the meaning it is going back to the meaning so when the singular was used it was going back to the wording which is already a singular word صحيح but ذهب الله بنورهم واتراكهم is going back to the meaning not the wording so that's what the sheikh says there's two اعتبار observing it اعتبار اعتبار لفضه اعتبار of its meaning its meaning and he goes ولي هذا المعنى ولي هذا المعنى جرع على ألسلة العلماء أن الذي تأتي بمعنى اللذينة and now the second view opinion sheikh mentions which is what the second opinion which is what that that the الذي in the verse is actually اللذينة اللذينة لفضا ومعنى so it should be كمثل الذي استوقد أي كمثل لذين استوقد that's what it is لفضا ومعنى that's what the sheikh that's the second opinion وذهب الله بنورهم so it's correct there's no problem with that one so it brings شواهد from آيات to support this opinion he says كقوله تعالى وكقوله like الله statement جاءوا بالصدق وصدق بأولائك the beginning is والذينة sorry والذي which is a singular but then Allah says أولائك so that shows its plural the verse is meant to be والذينة جاءوا بالصدق وصدق بأولائك هم المتقون so that's another one and also in the statement of Allah لا تضطلوا صدقاتكم بالمن والأذة كالذي ينفق ماله وهو رقاء الناسي what does the beginning say لا تضطلوا صدقاتكم بالمن والأذة كالذي is a singular after that what does Allah says لا يقدرون على لا يقدرون it's plural so that is going back to لا يقدرون which is in other words is meant to be كالذي ينفقون instead of so here the الذي is actually وقوله وخذتم كالذي خاضو وخذتم كالذي خاضو in other words وخذتم كالذي خاضو that's what the sheikh is saying بناء على الصحيح من أن الذي فيها موصولة لا مزدرية وخذتم كالذي خاضو that is the which is a moussoula or is the الذي which is a مزدرية so if it's a moussoula as I said it's going to be وخذتم كالذي خاضو that's the opinion that sheikh is going to take but if it's مزدرية it's going to be وخذتم كخو بكم and now that he's brought verses from the Quran he's going to bring verses from the كلام of the Arabs they use it like that he said like the statement of the poet who said بارك في أحد في قائم منهم ولا في من قعد إلا الذي قاموا بأطلاف المسد إلا الذي الذي هو what الذي هو the singular قاموا is a what is a jama'a so the sila to who the sila of الذي is قامو which is a wawal jama'a so in other words it's meant to be وقول الشعري and the statement of the poet and this poet is وأنشده سيبويه وانشده سيبويه لإطلاق الذي وإرادة that the word الذي is used and that is intended وإن الذي حانت بفلج دماؤهم هم القوم كل كل القوم يا أم خالد again here we find what الذي is used and then بفلج دماؤهم their blood you see قوم is plural قوم is plural وزعم إبنه الأمباري إبنه الأمباري claimed his name is called أبو بكر إبنه محمد إبنه الأمباري he's the scholar of the Arabic language and he died a year 320 328 if you look at the كتاب بغية الوعد بغية الوعد written by Imam Sibوي he speaks about him even تهديب written by تهديب الأزهري you find him he quotes him and brings him a lot وزعم إبنه الأمباري أنا لفضة الذي في بيت أشهب جمع بالسكون وأن الذي في الآية مفدل أريد به الجمع so the statement of Sibui أمباري here is that the word the line of poetry which we read which is أشهب إبنه روميلة statement which is إن الذي حانت بفلجن دماؤهم هم القوم وكل القوم يأم خالدهم that the alladi that's being used here is actually with this سكون and that the alladi that's in the verse is مفردون intended by a jama but the great scholar of the Arabic language محمد الله he didn't accept it from Mbari and rejected it ومام سيبوهي didn't accept it and that's why محمد الله وأن شده سيبوهي he wants to mention that this is something سيبوهي strengthens as well this understanding of this line of poetry of أشهب إبنه روميلة the third opinion which is the last one is وقولوا عديل إبنه الفرق عديل إبنه فرق العجلي some people say some say عديل I've seen all of that وبيت أساق القوم وبيت أساق القوم إخوة الذي غوايتهم غي وروشتهم رشتي so he brings that line to poetry just to prove the previous point but the last one is وقال بعضهم this is the third opinion وقال بعضهم and some of them claimed المستوقد واحد لجماعة معهم that the mustoaked and the one who is finding the fire is actually one but he's trying he's doing it for a group of people so another so that I can be clear he's saying that it's only one person who wants to مثلول الذي كمثلول الذي ستوقد نارا is one person but he's doing it for a lot of people so when the جماعة is being used he's talking about the people who he's doing it for when the singular is being used he's referring to him alone but that قول الشيخ فضعفه the weakness of that is not hidden from anyone it's weak very weak opinion so I have three answers in summary خلاصة القول is that we have three answers the first view is that الذي is مفرد in its wording ومعناه عامل and the meaning is general the second one is no كمثل الذي is actually لافضل ومعنى لافضل ومعنى I have many ayaat for that such as قوله تعالى والذين جاءوا بالصدق وصدق بأولائكة هم المتقول قوله تعالى لا تبطلوا صدقاتكم بالمن والأدى كالذي ينفق ما له رئاء الناس the evidence for show الذي هي is لا يقدرون على شيء من ما كسب is the same aya same verse لا يقدرون so it's meant to be this is what she is saying وخذتم كالذي خاضوا أي كالذين خاضوا if we take the opinion of course that the الذي هي is what موصولة ولا مزدرية and he brought some examples from the Aqlam of the Arab through the call of the Rajis في قائم منهم ولا في من قاعد إلا الذين قاعد إلا الذين قاعد and also the other line of poetry and the third opinion that he brought ماهي أخبرت بها ماذا؟ أنهم تعرفون أن مستوكيد هو one person لكنه يفعلها لشخص الناس لذا عندما ترون سنغلأ تقرر للمستوكيد و عندما ترون جماعة يستخدمون في مستوكيد هو تقرر لشخص الناس who is great in the fire for و لا يقفى بعفوه و نشيك نسيك في الثلاثة من المجتمع سنوقف الآن لتالي سسنة مع أفرح يحمل الضرب و أيات الكتاب أي شيء أخبرت أن هذا كان أفرح ومن الشيطان والله ورسوله برئان منه سبحانك اللهم بحمدك أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله أستغفروا كواتوله

All right. Hello, everybody. Hello, everybody. Welcome to our monthly activities meeting. My name is Sasha Ritkina. I'm the front office coordinator here at the San Francisco office. I've been here actually one year tomorrow. I survived! And has loved every minute on it and still am. And I would like to introduce my lovely co-host for today. We're continuing with our doc theme. This is Fawzi. Hope you all you can see him. Fawzi is a Samoyet. He's about seven years old. And he joined the foundation this past summer with his lovely human Amelia. And he's missing her right now. And he's a loyal supporter and member of our legal team. So we're going to get started. Our agenda for today will have a movement update as usual. We will have a presentation from Margi Novotny about who are our Wikipedia users in India. And an update from our Wikimedia 230 movement strategy team, as well as time for questions, discussions, and as usual, wiki love. So without further ado, our movement update. So we have some new leadership appointments here at the foundation. We welcome Jeanine Uzell as our Chief Operating Officer and Valerie DeCoster as our Chief of Community Engagement and Lisa Lewin as our new trustee. We have an ongoing proposal, brand proposal for 2030. And we have begun our consultation with the community on Meadowiki. We're also changing our password policies to evaluate new credential against those that are compromised and require that enforce a minimum eight character password for any newly created account. So that is our quick update. We also have some events coming up. We have the Wikimedia Summit in Germany on the 29th to the 31st of March. The wiki education conference in San Sebastian Spain on April 4th. And one of our favorite events, the hackathon happening in Prague this year on May 16th to the 20th. And without further ado, I'm going to introduce Marguina Vatni. She will be presenting on our Wikimedia users in India. Thank you. Hi, everybody. Okay. Thanks for showing up at this month's activities meeting. I'm here to present some work that we did. We started last spring. And you may you may remember that Daisy Chen had done a presentation back in August last year around the mobile personas work we did for the U.S. So in that in that project, we had developed six different personas showing kind of a range of uses, challenges and motivations for people across kind of across the technology like technology savviness spectrum across the language spectrum and kind of distributed geographically. In a follow-on effort, we did the kind of the same project, but in India. In this case, we ended up with six different personas, which I'll give you sort of a high-level orientation to. And then we did the same project in India. In this case, we ended up with six different personas, which I'll give you a high-level orientation to. Of these personas, all but one are multilingual. In each case, for each of a translation is a really big deal. Three of the six contribute in some way, either small edits or all the way up to kind of being organizers. Of the six, there's varying degrees of awareness of Wikipedia. And by that, I mean even all of these are frequent Wikipedia users, but some of them aren't even aware of Wikipedia as a brand or that they're using Wikipedia necessarily. And then among these six, there's also varying degrees of trust in Wikipedia. And we can talk about that in a second a little bit. So this project took place in over kind of four different regions. We worked with a group out of Pune called Herio, a user experience consultancy that we had worked with before in the past on another project. Herio organized an eight, kind of eight location project north, south, east, and west. And we were looking at different contexts of use, so both very what they call tiers one, two, and three cities, as well as rural context. So the tiers refer to the level of kind of economic development and general literacy in the populations. So we were looking for a sampling from a range of these different tiers, as well as users nearby who are in more rural contexts. And overall, we spoke to 50 participants. Of these 50 participants, we had seven languages covered. So the main two were English and Hindi. But we also spoke to people that were using Kanata, Odia, Punjabi, Marathi, and Urdu. So when we take on a project like this, there's always a stakeholder group of designers and product managers and community folks who are consulted about what are the dimensions that the research or that the stakeholders are most interested in learning about. So for this project, these were the main dimensions. So they were how the, how a different, how each, these different user types use language day to day, whether it's English primarily, whether they're switching back and forth between English in a second language or a third language, whether they're using their regional language first or whether they're using a regional language only. Of course, their comfort level with technology is very important. Their access to the internet is critical. And their awareness of Wikipedia, as I mentioned, can be, can range from, you know, zero to very high. And then lastly, we were looking for people who were strictly consuming to people that made small incremental contributions all the way to people that were trying to organize other people to contribute. And so you may remember from the last presentation that the way we think about these personas is that we kind of try to cover, cover the map of these different dimensions by, you know, looking for combinations of these different characteristics. So I've only showed the colored lines here show three different personas of the six that we have. So just to give you an idea of how we think about making sure that when we finish a set of personas, they are actually a comprehensive, as comprehensive as they can be in terms of covering all the dimensions that our stakeholder group is interested in. So these are our six personas. I'm just going to give you some very high-level anecdotes about each one. And I will point you to the full report and the detailed persona documents which are on meta. So just kind of as a highlight, high point that kind of goes across all of these personas, it was interesting to learn that most of the users preferred the mobile desktop to the application either because they had very limited storage on their phone or because limited storage on their phone or because they just didn't really understand, they didn't really have the tech savviness to really understand the app model at all. So it was either a lack of awareness or just a preference for using the mobile app. So starting at the left side, left side is the new editor is Suje. He's super motivated to edit, but is really challenged by the editing policies and by trying to edit via the mobile desktop on his phone. Sultana is someone who likes to prove a point. She's constantly online looking for sources to justify her arguments. So she's using Wikipedia a lot, half the time without realizing it. But when she's asked about whether or not she believes in the content, her take is that she can't trust the content because she doesn't trust the editing process. She thinks the editing process is faulty. Kartik is a movement organizer. He's an open source proponent. So he's like quite a zealot and evangelizer for the product. He edits a lot but finds it really challenging to do on the app. Ipsita is a tiger mom. She hovers around her kids as they're doing homework and she's constantly trying to help her kids by looking up translating terms from the regional language into English or Hindi. Especially where very little regional content is available. Sukvinder is constantly using Wikipedia to translate terms he's using in school and in his regional language. He's very motivated to contribute because he realizes the deficit in regional content. And finally, Rupinder has a very limited English vocabulary, knows a few words that she can use to search in order to find images that she uses in her business. She speaks and reads a regional language but uses voice search basically to access Wikipedia. So I'm not going to go into a lot of detail on each of the personas. I'm just going to explain how they're organized and you can dive in and take a look at them. But so for each of these personas, there's basic demographic information on each. There's a scale of level of comfort with technology. How much Wikipedia use is a part of their overall internet use? Which devices they have? What their goals and challenges are? And then there's a contextual narrative for each persona. In this study we had to make kind of a change to our typical persona format because we found through the research that two of the personas have kind of what we called kind of split personalities. So there were two flavors effectively of Sujay and of Sita. And they differed in the way that you can see on the diagrams to the right and left. So for example with Ipsita, there are two versions of the Tiger Mom persona. One that is completely tech savvy, completely comfortable on the internet all the time, has several devices, speaks, is bilingual and switching back and forth. And the other Ipsita is doesn't have constant access, has one device, is working from a rural context, has limited understanding or ability to move between languages and limited tech comfort. So we can see with Sujay, so the way to look at these split personas is to say that on this is to read the main page which has all of the key information and then on the second page it shows how the two flavors of persona vary. And finally, the other great bonus of doing this kind of persona work is that you pick up a lot of anecdotal information and recommendations about kind of the pain points and opportunities that each of these user types experience. So the main recommendations that came out of this study were that people wanted to be able to listen to Wikipedia and they wanted it to be easier to do voice based searching on. The academics that we talked to wanted a Wikipedia that was reliable and acceptable as a reference. Several folks wanted to understand how better how the Wikipedia content was created and we saw a relationship between their understanding of how it's created, the process by which stuff is verified, and their level of trust in the content. There was overwhelming desire for a better mobile editing experience so because most of the people weren't using the app they were really struggling with the mobile desktop on the phone and that just doesn't work. Also the new editors, similar to everywhere else, new editors just need ways to get help along the way. One of the anecdotes was that after watching a four hour video one of these editors still was not able to do basic edits. They wanted to have regional articles suggested if they were searching on something in English Wikipedia and there happened to be a regional article available they wanted to know about that instead. And the big piece was in order to drive regional content there was a lot of enthusiasm for partnering with institutions to make sure that contribution is part of the educational experience in India. So the report, the full report is on Wiki, Metawiki and there's a link to it in the stock. So I invite you to go in and read all the good details. Thank you. Alright, thank you Margie and we're going to move on to our next set of speakers which will be our Wikimedia 2030 movement strategy team that is Tanvir Karel and I think we have some guests as well and they will talk about what's going on and please let me know if you need help with the slides. Hello, hello. So Wikimedia 2030, it's about Wikimedia 2030 and we are here to talk first about what is going on and probably you know that already but I just want to remind you that movement strategy this is exciting stuff and I'm really excited to talk about the exciting parts here. For me, there are two things that I want to highlight this month and one of the things that is really exciting for me and what I really like about this process is that we are using the working group model. So we have working groups. Actually we are bringing the diversity that we have in our movement across projects, user groups, bigger chapters also Wikimedia Foundation into the center of movement strategy process with the working group model and these are really great discussions that are going on in the working groups. I hope that you already know by heart the list of working groups. If not, you can go to 2030.wikimedia.org see what are the thematic areas that we are having these discussions on. What I want to talk about here today is the scoping process. I don't know how many of you have heard about this but we have been doing the scoping for the working groups and thematic areas in the recent months and what does the scoping really mean? It's actually three areas that we have been working on. First of all, we have been exploring the thematic area so what should the discussion be about and then there has been work done in defining the exact scope of the working groups. Hence the term scoping and now we are actually in the end phase of this all so it's all about summarizing and delivering the first output from the working groups and this is really great and for this reason I actually have invited to this call two of the working group members. We'll see there were some technical issues so we'll see if they will be available to talk a bit more about what the scoping has meant for their working groups in action. So first up would be Irina. I don't know if she's available. So Irina, are you there? We're still having some technical difficulties. Is there some from strategy you can... Okay, from the silence I can understand that we are still experiencing difficulties so unfortunately I have to fill in. Hopefully you can meet Irina elsewhere and talk about the roles and responsibilities working group. So yes, she's in that working group and what are they really talking about? So these are a couple of scoping questions from that group and it just gives a rough idea what are the discussions about. So the first one being what governance and organizational structures do we need to support the delivery of a strategic direction so really looking at the movement governance, organizational structures, all that. How do we ensure that our governance and operational structures can adapt to social, technological and political change? So this is what the Wikimedia 2030 is also about, adaption and change. And the third one is what is the future structure for the Wikimedia movement that will create less friction and more synergies. So these are the kinds of things we are looking at in the strategy process and in this group. One of the activities what this group has gone through is that they have steady online interaction. They have bi-weekly meetings. They also have working sessions where they are working on concrete topics. They have been preparing the scoping document and one interesting thing that this group has done is that they have gone out there on the field and they have made interviews with people in the movement and actually the summary of these interviews was just uploaded on Meta today so look at the Wikimedia for a link or go browse Meta yourself. So this is really interesting thing and I suggest that you should be reading these interviews if you are interested in that topic. And also they have done a survey to collect some basic information on how different groups in our movement function and this is just an idea of how the working groups are ensuring that they are well informed and up to speed in their discussions. Now looking at the concrete, one concrete task that this group has been doing is actually working on mapping the roles and responsibilities in the movement. So really creating a clear map of who we are today. What are the existing roles and responsibilities and also looking at roles really looking at official and non-official responsibilities related to these roles. Also they have looked on challenges, the good and pain points between different roles and they have done some mapping across the groups to understand what is the originating point of the good or even more the pain points. So to understand that and to ensure that with these movement strategy discussions we can actually initiate structural reform to overcome these challenges and release energy stuck in the challenges. So this is what has been a concrete work of roles and responsibilities working group. And now I'm happy to hand over to Oscar Costero from capacity building working group. Oscar, I hope you are there. Yes, thank you. Thank you Karel, thank you Tambur. I'm going to talk a little bit about the working group and specifically about the work that we do in a subgroup called the Glossary Group. Next slide. Well, first this is like Karel mentioned the scope. That was after months and months of work. We come up with this definition of questions basically asking them to be resolved in the future. The first one is will we just stakeholders should be part of the capacity building efforts but to contribute as well as receive them. The second one, what processes will be needed to build or change it for the specific capacity building efforts. And the third one, how do we make capacity building inclusive and available in a credible way? This is to start with you a lot of long ago I think in August we started with the work. The first task was to know what areas okay parties we have in our work and what was missing basically. We compiled a roster of competencies and based on that we started the work. Then we started to discussing what capacity building was, the definition, what was their internal argument about how capacity or community had to deal with the capacity building if that community have a community in the movement or whether this working group should be designed or recommend anything for her to enter from the scratch. So we have like a formal definition that was work a lot of capacity building and I'm going to read that. It was discussed a lot again for meeting and meeting ends. It is the activities and communication that systematically build, obtain, stranger retain and show knowledge, skills, belief, tools, processes and resources for all Wikimedia stakeholders to move towards our strategic direction to knowledge as a service and knowledge equity. So that was the definition and was part of the subgroup also the whole movement the whole group to work.  One of those small group was the glossary group and I'm going to share with you a lot of findings, few findings that we have for all these months. Yes, next slide. The first one is that capacity building is more than a list of resources. It means extending human connection. This meaning that we see experience in things in the same way or in different ways that another person, another person from another country experienced that experience. The capacity or the glossary group help starting to using a common language because we learned that a work can have multiple definitions depending on the culture or the person where it's from. Also, the capacity building we discovered that it's more like a content meaning best practice, guidance, training, templates and processes that assume human connection to share. And in the end, I think the most important thing of this finding is that capacity building is a work of trust. That is that we naturally develop a trust with each other and help to complete a better work. And I think with this Resonance that we're trying to deliver a capacity building that needs to be for the people when the most needed. In that sense, I think trust is crucial and I think it's something that we need to focus in the next phase that we're going to work working for now. So, yes, that was all. Thank you. Thank you so much, Oscar. So, this is the work that the working groups are doing and this is happening in all of the nine working groups. Everyone has kind of their own path in getting there and you heard the two stories we have from the scoping phase. Now, the big question and exciting question for me to you is how to be involved in the process. And the main point here is that regarding the process, one of the things is that I think the process itself is reimagining ourselves as a global community. So, this is what we are doing and this is what is the idea of the movement strategy process. Also, this means that you are the one who are going to make this happen. So, each one of you, each individual, you are part of the community, the global community that they have and I really would like to see you participating in the conversations and then also implementing the changes in our movement to strive towards the strategic direction. So, this is my hope. And also, we know that communities are the ones that make wiki happen and each one of you are a member of our big global community. So, now we have scoping documents from all the groups and we are now in the phase of making these documents available and hopefully this will happen mid-March. We are also looking into translation options to have them available in a variety of languages and we are also looking finally to kick off a community conversation. So, the scoping documents are kind of the basis of the conversation and we can build on that and have a conversation around that. And you can choose the plan that is suitable for your strategy needs. So, you can go light and just answer to a survey with up to three essential questions from the working groups. You can answer to the questions from just one working group or to the full board and answer to the questions of nine working groups or you can use the pro model for your strategy needs and really dig into it, discuss scoping documents with your communities, your peers and engage also in global conversations. This will happen on different platforms. It will be certainly on meta but we are also looking forward to using social media channels and different discussion platforms. And for this, we are also happy to announce that we are looking for strategy liaisons. So, the call for organized groups has already gone out there. We will also be looking for volunteer community liaisons. We are currently recruiting for nine strategy liaisons for bigger or more notable language communities. So, this is some of the work in the pipeline and you can really be part of that being the kind of coordinating or center point in your community, helping to surface the real key ideas from your own community or from your group. So, this is a possibility for you. So, I'm looking forward to your engagement and I really hope that this will be as exciting for you as it is for me. And you can be in contact with us. So, here are the emails from the presenters today. I'm really sad that Irina had technical difficulties but don't hesitate to reach out to her. She's really a great working group member from Uganda in the Rosinals Responsibilities group and I hope that she can present and share her thoughts some other time on some other platform. Thank you so much. Let's be in touch. All right. Thank you everybody from Movement Strategy and our started working groups Irina, Oscar, Karel and Tanvir. We're going to move on to the next section of our program which is question and discussion. So, if you have questions for any of the presenters, if you have questions for anybody here in the room, do we have anything on IRC Rowan? No. All right. There's also a microphone in the room. You can come up and ask questions. Thank you, Joe. I have a question for Margie on her interesting research. I was very interested to see and I guess a little surprised to see the emphasis on spoken input and output. I guess particularly I was curious why people would want to listen to Wikipedia since it seems like a relatively inefficient or slow way to get information. So, can you say more about what the user's needs and use case is there? Hello there. Sorry about that. Margie? Yes. Sorry about that. So, Joe, I think I caught the gist of your question. So, why would people want to listen to Wikipedia? I think part of it was wanting to have the ability to do to access content while in transit and sometimes it's just easier and hands-free situations like commuting. But then other times was just like to have spoken like the persona of Rupinder liked using the voice search capabilities and would have preferred to have the results kind of read back to her in some cases in her regional language. And that was the case also for, I think it was the mom, the hoverer mom. When you say in the original language, does it mean from an article in that language or does she want translation on the fly in audio? They talked about translation on the fly as well as just reading back just having an audio version without translation as well. Thank you, Margie. Any follow-up questions? Do we have any more questions on? Not a question, but I would like to follow with something that Margie mentioned. This is coming from the experience that I have working with Indian languages. One of the reasons why people prefer to have audio input is because typing in Indian languages is very, very problematic. There is no good script that allows for easy typing and easy access of search words. Hence the request and the idea that audio becomes more important. Thank you. Thank you. Margie? Thanks, Tampere. We have a question on IRC. Hello, yeah. On IRC, Pine says, I will ask a brief question for Carol. Is there a timeline that he can share for upcoming milestones? I guess the timeline will have estimated dates, and that's fine. Yeah, I was just checking if it's on meta, so I will also follow up on IRC. But the current timeline, as it is, is that from mid-March to mid-April, we'll run the community conversations. And also the Wikimedia Summit is part of that, so Summit will this year be dedicated more to the strategy, and there will be more discussions around that. It's Affiliate Conference, so this is for organized groups, but this is kind of in the center of community conversations, and community conversations are built around that. And then we actually go to the analysis phase with the working groups, and we look forward to having draft recommendations delivered for Wikimedia. So this is the timeline we are working with. I will just check what is the current timeline on meta, and we will follow up also on IRC. Thank you for your question, Pine. Thank you, Karel. Any questions on the room? IRC? Going once? Going twice? All right. Hendix. Oh, this is from Margie's presentation. Margie, did you want to speak to this? I can't see what this is. Okay. Oh, okay. All right. Oh, so last but not least, or actually not last, make sure if you want to present, if you want to participate in the monthly activities meeting that you sign up on meta, our next meeting will be on March 26, I believe. So just a month away from today, and make sure to sign up. We have March 28. Thank you. I knew it was the same date. And we're going to move to WikiLove. So I just want to express some WikiLove for my co-host right here, who if you can't see has made my pants a lot more white. He's a lovely, lovely office dog, one of our many, and he offers really good therapy. When you need a stress reliever. Anybody else in the room? IRC, our presenters. Some WikiLove. Please use the microphone on the side of the room. Thank you. Hello, everyone. I'm Katie Love, and there are three people that I wanted to say thank you to and appreciate their contributions. The first is Chris Schilling on the Community Resources Team, who has just wrapped up a round of project grants and these grants that have just been approved and will be announced tomorrow are some fabulous community-led projects on increasing the visibility of some of our more marginalized communities and underrepresented communities. They are projects doing all sorts of cool technical projects. It's just a fabulous cohort of folks. So when you see the announcement come out, please do take a look at some of those projects and say thank you to Chris for his amazing facilitation of that participatory grant committee. And then I wanted to say thank you so much to Thomas, who's been a huge supporter to the Community Engagement Department over the last few months and just a fabulous addition to our department, Thomas E. Rock. And finally, I wanted to say thank you to my wonderful co-partner in all things strategy, which is Sati Houston, who has done such a fabulous job in helping move forward a number of many projects on our team and who has done so with patience and grit and compassion and so much grace. That's it. So there's one on Google Hangout that says lots of wiki love and wiki courage for Oscar. He has attended all the meetings despite the difficult situation in Venezuela. I just want to say thank you to Sasha and Robert for the lovely loose leaf tea in the office. It makes me a little bit more happy every time I drink it. Thank you. And it comes in cute jars. Yeah, thank you for the tea. I love it too. And wiki love for Winifred for being an amazing friend and being supportive through challenging situations. All right. On IRC, Quiddity gives wiki love to the admins and contributors who deal with on wiki spam and vandalism, in particular to all the stewards on meta wiki and users clump and Shira Yuki on media wiki wiki. And Pine gives wiki love to Dario for his years of service and congratulates Leila on her promotion. Anyone else? I also want to give wiki love to this entire foundation and this office who welcomed me a year ago and still continue to be a lovely work family and wonderful friends. And thank you to Amelia, Fawzi's human. She's somewhere in the office for letting me borrow him and bringing him to the office and all of our other dog owners who bring their, or other dogs who bring their humans to the office. All right. All right. Last call for wiki love or questions. Miss Kate. I wanted to say thank you to analytics engineering and particularly Luca and Andrew who have been doing an amazing job reaching out to product analytics and giving us a heads up about some of the changes and we really appreciate that extra communication. Some more wiki love from Maria. Yes. Lots of wiki love for Abby who is super supportive of new design research projects and is inviting people to think from a design perspective and I really appreciate it. All right. Going once, going twice. All right. Well, thank you everybody for coming. Thank you for the comms team for giving me the opportunity to host this and we will all see you next month on March 28th which is 11 a.m. Pacific 1700 Universal Time Universal Time I got to remember my European time and oh, one more. And one more because this tree might be a little bit behind. Okay. Thank you. Caitlin Cogdale sends wiki love to Jessica Robell on the fundraising team for managing translations in dozens of languages right now thanks to our characteristic patients and Grace. Woo! All right. Thank you everybody for coming and we will all see you next month. Bye-bye.


Hello and welcome back to the craft box. My name is Brent and today we are doing the level 75 myth spell quest From Halston, which is a minion No new land beautiful day, isn't it? I hope I didn't take you away from anything urgent I had a whammy of an idea and wanted to shout with you I think your duels would be well complimented by a new minion. What do you think I came across this compendium of minions? Someone left behind in class. Hmm. Let's look up your specialization Vassanji law singer goodness me. That's a powerful minion to entrust to a student Well, I'm sure Cyrus knows what he's doing. I have a good friend called the professor He travels all the spiral, but you can find him by his telegraph box in Marley bone Find the professor and ask him to teach you the summoning ritual for your new minion Vassanji law singer the elephant soldier Right Vassanji is who we are getting. Let's quickly equip this quest. Where is it? Where is it? There it is And we will head over to region square and get This lovely minion. I have done the other two And Avalon we are currently level 75 Have done the other two the level 72 and the other level 75 spell quest on stream And they'll be on my second channel so link in the description for that you you should know the deal by now Marley bone. Let's you But I thought I would do this one because it's a little bit more Important I guess is is the word a little bit more important And expands a law a little bit more than the other ones Plus, you know, there's not many things about the minions and minions are cool And that's kind of what myth is so we're doing it. Yeah Hello, I also needed a video because I'm halfway through editing like three of them. So yes I just needed a video right professor. Hello. Why hello there. I wonder ah ha Let me guess you are after a new minion, right? I knew it and by the stitch of your clothes. I'll hazard you are a conjurer No, wait, have I deduced this all before travel to crab alley and find King Thermador get his permission to search the Tower of Pelodon in the deep warrens You'll have to fight whatever has moved into that dank place for the conjuring globe of Pelodon. Bring it back to me right, let us We'll leave a mark here might as well. I don't want to walk all the way back Let's head to a crowbell if real fast and we're gonna be fighting a thing as a myth. Let's find out It is not myth. So that's cool Let's go to a crab alley man. It's been so long since I've been in crab alley for all those years ago I say years because it has been years since I was in crab alley on this character. So so so long ago We're also just rocking the carpet at the moment Because this is technically the mount that I'm officially meant to be using you see I have official mounts. It's pretty cool And this is technically my official mount for the stitch and I like it a lot I really like this carpet for those of you who don't know this carpet is from When Mirage was released if you had a membership during Mirage releasing, which was what 2016? Yeah, 2016. I Think it's 2016. Yeah, 2016. You got a free carpet, which is pretty cool. I wish they would do more of that I really do because they're cool just having these Cool we mounts that you get for free just for having membership or playing during a release I think that is cool. Also, if it's like actually themed to the world as well It's pretty cool. I'm I'm sad that they didn't do one for caramel. It would have been cool if they did because Yes, because yes, but no it does not happen. I forget we can use these I forget we can use these because these didn't used to be a thing and now they are a thing We can't use that teleporter. We have got to use the teleporter down here Because yes again. Yes. Yes. Yes. Good job. Make sense and Then just over to the rope ladder Kablamo young wizard. So Homer Sunblade can get you into Crab Alley Go see him at his Storm Mill on Triton Avenue and help him out Weird we can get into Crab Alley because I've already done this before Okay Okay, I've already done this. I don't need an explanation of what's happening. I've already done this Otherwise, I wouldn't be allowed to quest Halston is an interesting interesting guy King Thermador. Hello We welcome you back to Crab Alley Closest friend wizard What was your name again? Oh, of course, we will never forget what you did. Now, what can the illustrious king of Crab Alley do for you today? The Tower of Pelodon that place is haunted and forsaken and forbidden But for you, we'll lift the band go forth plucky wizard into the Tower of Pelodon and find that which you seek He's a weird speaker. I always forget this. I always forget this right. Let's go to the Find the globe of Pelodon and the Tower of Pelodon. I'm sure there's nothing terrible that we have to defeat there. Oh We might have to defeat a lot of things spoiler alert. Whoopsies shouldn't have said that but hey, let's let's do this Oh, man, I remember questing through here and I absolutely struggled with those myth guys They were the worst things ever They were so bad So so so bad Right, I'm surprised they didn't update this but with the graphical reworks. It could really use some At least I didn't think it was maybe it was maybe it was but it still looks bad No, it must have been surely. No, it must have been it must have been I'm just bad and don't realize Wizard the sea will flow into your nose and mouth and fly you all the salt and black take you forever Okey-dokey Giddies seems to be by himself He does not have a minion so that's a great we Whatever we can do, but we'll do let's blade. Let's blade. Um, so yeah, there's been a lot that's happening on my myth I'm doing a lot more on him because I need to question a lot more. So that's cool I will be doing an eight hour stream and Not next week but the week after when you're seeing this basically and And it'll be just eight hours of myth-questing and we're gonna see how far we get currently we're in Avalon We have only really just started. We've just gone through a bit of the wild Yeah, so that's fun the wild is okay, and then We have you know Dundara the weird the other places Lake shore catacombs Then we finished that and then into s-ticket, which is crazy as well or we could ninja pigs Well, if we get an enchantment, we're definitely ninja pig Ninja pigging because it is so good ninja pigs is my favorite spell to use on this character It's just such a cool spell and I really really enjoy using it. It's amazing I'm so happy I farmed I spent hours and hours and hours farming for it But I would really like to just get it, but we're gonna do this just so we can crit a little bit more Little bit more crit and a little bit more Little bit more PS which is always good just to get through his Fortify we might even put up an infall if I didn't discard it. I know I discarded something I was hoping I discarded the right thing could have discarded the wrong thing or the right thing and the wrong thing I can't remember it happens Let's find out am I good or am I bad? I Am good. Let's infall and then we'll hit and Hopefully kill this should be way overkill because we do boost as well, but just to be sure Just to be sure we're gonna just go full full force full force for it Should be good though. Oh, we have Medusa as well. What's really funny is Medusa is Like, you know only slightly better Only slightly better than ninja pigs The only good thing about Medusa is the two rounds done Really, otherwise, I would just prefer to use ninja pigs. It just makes so much more sense So much more sense, but that's fine. Right. Here we go GG No doubt GG because we are just way too good at this way too good at this whole myth thing We just way too good See watch this Ka-Blamo Ka-Blamo easy clap Nice work You don't see the globe of Pelodon. Perhaps you should explore deeper into the tower I forgot that I forgot the narrations. Oh my gosh. It's been so long since I've heard the narrator A spy for Gromchen you say you aren't of course. That's what any good spy would say Whether you are a spy or not you will pay for disrupting my plans Don't know what your plans are, but sure thing sure thing buddy Let's just destroy you. That's what I think we should do Let's enchant this for now might as well I'm gonna do this he has 4,800 health not too much Considering we did what like 9,000 last time with three blades. I Don't think we need to worry too much about this. I should really get some cleanses on this character Maybe I do that I should do that after this I should do that I should actually get some cleanses that would be a fantastic idea. I think a Really fantastic idea because I don't think I have any do I have any I don't have any I don't carry cleanse Why do I not carry cleanse and I'm weird so weird So weird I've just focused too much on my death wizard and then all the other wizards are like They're like low-level weaknesses in a big deal and then they're like, you know an Avalon Weakness is a little bit of a deal. Oh Well, um, hmm. Let's see if We Can do this and get another blade, maybe that would be cool. If not, we'll just hit with an oar Because it does more than a frog.  Is it different? It is different. So that's fantastic If we get a better thing next round other than an oar and a frog if we get like a medusa or an interpigs I'll definitely use that. Otherwise, we'll just hit. Oh, we got a medusa even better. Let's do that He's probably stunned immune, but whatever whatever Whatever whatever whatever whatever If he isn't he's stunned for two rounds and if he is well that was to be expected anyway We're just hitting to get some damage just a little bit of damage So we can finish off with something else because I don't think this is gonna kill I could But I doubt it I mean, we do have we do have like three sort of blades. I guess Okay, Gigi. We did nice easy clap Easy peasy cats. I'm done for take the Conjuring Globe of Pelodon back to your round head masters I'll flee in exile and buy my time Right Let's get this globe The Conjuring Globe of Pelodon thrums powerfully with myth energy And we'll go back to the region's square And talk to the professor Talk to the professor. I see you have been busy. Let's see the Conjuring Globe of Pelodon Very dangerous. Now. Let me teach you the summoning ritual Head to Zafaria and find Kiliman Copperleaf in the Baobab Library Ask him where to find the Kaz Bar of Zange I mixed it up with the Kaz Bar's guardians once barely got up with my skin I think Defeat the Kaz Bar's guardians so you can perform the summoning ritual using the globe of pelodon Best of luck. Hey, let me know how it goes Okay, let's leave mark here again And we are at Kiliman. Hello. Hello. Hello Jambo young wizard, what brings you back to Zafaria? You are searching for the Kaz Bar of Zange You will find that cursed tower in stone town It fell to the warlord Varos a cold blooded gorilla I have a scroll that will unlock the Kaz Bar of Zange, but the rest is up to you Okay, okay, let's head to the globe pedestal Which is in stone town by the looks of it. So just head back here Rail fast and quickly use the teleporter to stone town Because that is the best option. Um stone town boom easy peasy Love to see it And this way this way this way this way it is this house here. Wow. I wonder what was this house I wonder what was in this house. It's not that but we stand in the in-between wizard We will both be changed by this duel forever. Who will we be after? That's a great question my friend one that I really do not know the answer to So I'm glad you're asking the deep philosophical ones that we love right visan g Let's destroy you. I'm sorry, buddy, but it has to happen It just has to happen. Luckily we got a prison pretty quickly. He doesn't have that much health He really doesn't I'm surprised unless I was reading that wrong. He doesn't have that much health Surely I was reading that wrong, right? Surely Surely I am Right Okay, I was not he does only have 1600 health. I was That's what I thought I saw and then I'm like, surely he doesn't have that low health Surely it's like 7000 or something and I just mistook the one for a 7 but no, it's just 1000. He is not even good He's what rank 9 boss rank 7 boss. Okay, that makes a little bit more sense, but still what what I'm so confused I don't even Like just one blade author a school kill. That's all I need. This is literally all I need What the heck What? What what what I am so confusion So confused Crit lovely no block even better Ka-blam bye That did way too much Okay, what's weird is when I did this on my death, I think it was a It is fully to challenge a wizard tomorrow prudence shall be our watchword today.  I swear. This was like actually kind of difficult And so far it has not been very difficult at all. But what does this man's do? Okay, we boost on him. This is good. He doesn't cast myth shield like Okay, I'm so confused. I am a little bit confused. I'm gonna lie. He only has 5200 health. Wow He used to have 6500 That hasn't been changed in the wiki interesting. Um Yeah, that's weird so weird we can just medusa As soon as we can and kill We'll go for a bill will though though We will do about will the sounds like a good idea a good good good idea He's passing fair enough good idea Good idea my friend. Um We'll do this so we don't fizzle. I would have loved actually another blade to be honest But hey, whatever we should kill. I think I'm pretty sure we'll kill pretty sure Crackin uh all Uh all spaghettios This gonna be hurt Ka-blam just a little bit of hurt Man, if only that did one less damage, it would have been so funny. Ha ha funny I didn't even need potions for this fight. What I wasted all that time getting potions and I didn't even need them I want to refund Just kidding. They'll be fine for they'll be perfect for questing again, but still But still I demand to refund refund on my potions not good enough Ka-blam and gee gee Easy clap Battling a wizard.   You have defeated warlord varus and unlocked his secrets I would be honored to assist you whenever the need arise Right, let's head to um the professor once more And then that is that That is all she wrote for this quest worlds come and go Stars perish matter disperses coalesces forms into other patterns. Nothing can be eternal Sorry, I was thinking of someone else. Did you free vasanji law singer from the cruel warlord varus? That line before is kind of weird That's Let me show you the spell to summon vasanji. It requires tact and finesse Fortunately, I am blessed with both all this spell craft makes me hungry here. Have a jelly, baby Right fantastic there we go that is vasanji. He is a minion He is a minion of um myth Um rank six no pvp similar to the other minions that you get at this level melduit for death Yeah, just just a whole bunch of The other ones as well.
