It is week 16 and the Falcons are back in Mercedes Benz Stadium as they host the Indianapolis Colts for their last game of the season. Happy or Merry Christmas Eve to you guys. Both these teams looking for a win to stay in playoff contention. The Falcons lose today. Their playoff hopes close to dead. Yeah. Close to dead. Of course. So thank you guys for joining us for the Falcons pregame show presented by Ticketmaster Taylor Vizbor. Derek Rackley. And like we said, playoff hopes, they're not dead. There's a little bit of a chance left, but they have to win today to make those chances better. And we will do our best to try to spread holiday cheer for playoff hopes for the Atlanta Falcons today. And the Indianapolis Colts are trying to hold on. They currently sit at the number seven spot in the AFC. So they've got a lot on the line as well. A lot on the line and we're going to talk about all those playoff contentions and who has to win, who has to lose a little bit later. But I know that you always make fun of me because of my age and everyone at the office always does because I'm so young and whatever. But I had a kid come to the practice facility this week. Trying to come for my job. He was pretty good. He's younger than you. He's much younger. Much younger than me. So go ahead and take a look at the kid reporter. We can do Nintendo 64, GameCube, any of that. All of it. You've got something behind you. I'm messing with you. Miles and I, the kid reporter for the Atlanta Falcons. They are just about to finish practicing here. And we're going to go interview some of the players. Might as well enjoy Snickers ice cream while I'm at it. Who is the best singer on the team? I don't think anybody can sing. Me. Me. Me. I'll take it. You? Can we hear it? No. Oh, okay. What is your secret talent? Ooh, my secret talent? I'm a Pokemon master. What?  Pokemon Go, that's more collective. I want a battle. So I'm going to Pokemon cards. I'm there. Pokemon video game. I'm there. What was the best gift you ever received as a child for Christmas? Oh, it was a football. And Xbox 360. One day, we went outside. We lived in Michigan. It was snow coat everywhere.  And we finished opening up everything under the present. And my dad took us outside. And there were two snowmobiles. And that was a lot of fun. What is your favorite Christmas present? It used to be taken one present early. I'll probably put some cookie down and bite it. Okay. He doesn't know yet. But you know, I'm going to put a cookie by him. All right, all right. What is your pre-game meal? Ooh, my pre-game meal is pretty boring. I do an oatmeal with blueberries. Okay. And then I do avocado toast.  You know, with some buttered waffle. Yeah, with some syrup, some eggs and some bacon.  I usually do like eggs and potatoes and sausage. Okay. All right. All right. No. It's not good enough. Not good enough. Like, I don't know what would be more impressive for him than like a normal average breakfast. Eggs and potatoes. No, you're going to have to get better than that. I think that's a pretty good pre-game meal to me.  You got carbs. I'm not going to be a kid reporter though, showing some personality early on. Not afraid to call out an NFL superstar, right? No. And we love that because sometimes I'm a little afraid. Myself. I'm like, okay, hey, let me ask you this. He was asking everyone what their favorite Christmas tradition was. And in the spirit of Christmas, do you have any of your favorites? Favorite traditions. My kids always, always, always try to the day before Christmas. Now it's a little different when you're working on Christmas, right? But the day before Christmas Eve, they're always working on my wife and I talking about, can we please open one Christmas present? Can we please, like, maybe just the one that we got each other so they cannot wait till Christmas morning. So I would say that's one of the traditions. And then obviously the big meals that my mother-in-law cooks, the big, huge southern, southern meals. Yeah. I feel like from Thanksgiving until like New Year's, it's just big meals all around. And like, if you gain weight, it's fine. Like no one cares. That's what January's for, right? Yeah, right. It's all about New Year's resolutions at that point and like losing the weight that you put on during the holidays. But let's go ahead and get into the game today because there's a lot to talk about, as I always, always say, every single game. But it's true, especially in this game today because there's a new quarterback under center today. Taylor Heineke will be starting for the Falcons and probably will be starting for the last three games of the season, trying to get some wins in this later part of the season to hopefully make a playoff. Who knows? There is a way and I'll let you give your little piece before I tell you guys how they can make the playoffs because it is possible. Yeah, I mean, so we're going to switch again to Taylor Heineke and before we get to all that, I mean, the whole playoff scenario is this. I mean, I mentioned this probably three or four weeks ago, especially when we were talking about our Falcons Audible podcast presented by AT&T is Atlanta is in a situation where they just need to worry about the game at hand. The moment that the players or the coaches and trust me, they're not doing it. But the moment that they start thinking about the scenarios of how they get into the postseason is the same moment that they don't get into the postseason. But this is the current division standings. Obviously we've played the Buccaneers and Saints recently. The last couple losses to Tampa Bay and Carolina was really kind of the dagger. Again, it's not over yet, but you saw the loss for the Saints on Thursday night. You're kind of hoping that your Jacksonville Jaguar fans today that they end up knocking off the Buccaneers. And then there's still a chance, but you've got to continue to win football games. And I say continue to spend a little bit of a struggle for Atlanta. That's right. So the Falcons team might not look down the line at like the next game at hand when they have one game. It's one game at a time for them. I do because I report on this team and I need to know what the playoff contingent looks like. So right now the Falcons have a 7% chance that they can play off. It doesn't sound like a great chance, but it is still a chance, right? We're not eliminated yet. But earlier in the week, the Saints played a Thursday night game. They had to lose to the Rams and they did. Today, Tampa Bay has to lose to the Jacksonville Jaguars and the Falcons have to win against the Colts. Then you look into next week, if all those things happen. You look into next week, the Saints have to beat the Tampa Bay Buccaneers down in Tampa. And then of course the Falcons have to beat the Chicago Bears. Looking into week 18, Falcons have to beat the Saints down in New Orleans, which is always a hard place to play, especially for this Falcons team. So basically Falcons have to win out, but you need a couple of those helpful hands from the Saints. I hate saying let's cheer on the Saints next week. I know it hurts you guys, but that might be what needs to happen and forget the Falcons to the playoff. Yeah. And I'll tell you this, all that, the scenarios, they kind of hurt my brain thinking about all those different avenues that you talked about. So I'm going to stick with winning the football game today against Indianapolis Colts. And I know we joked earlier about your age, and have you ever seen the movie Dumb and Dumber? Yes. You have? I have. Okay, you sure? Yes. You're not just saying that? Yes, I have. But when you said 7%, the only thing that came into my mind was, so you're saying there's a chance. There's a chance. That's right. There's a chance. But it starts today with Taylor Heinecke under center. And a lot of people were wondering after last week's game, how did he make another quarterback change? And Arthur Smith gave his reasoning why he made the change so late in the season again for Taylor Heinecke to start. Yeah, coach, could you walk through the stage and switch to Taylor Heinecke? Yeah.  And that's what the plan was. And then you've got to be willing to adapt. And the same thing that we planned. I don't want to keep doing switching week to week and have to have, you know, that's not what we want to do. But we feel right now where we're at, that Taylor gives us our best chance and you have to adapt. And so that's where we're going to go. So that's the plan with Taylor going forward. All right. So Arthur Smith did say that the plan originally was for Desmond to finish out the season. But looking at where the season has landed at this point in time when we had 16. It's time for a new quarterback and another quarterback change under center. Taylor Heinecke has appeared in three games. He came in against Tennessee at the half because Desmond had to come out for concussion protocol. He then started against the Minnesota Vikings and then came out against the Arizona Cardinals in the third quarter because of a hamstring. So when you look at Taylor Heinecke, what do you see as a quarterback? I know that we know his ceiling. We know what he can do. But when you saw him work against this team, what did you see? Well, I think you see a guy that comes in confident. He's confident in his ability to make all the throws to read the defenses. He's done that. I mean, he displayed that when he was thrusted into the starting role with Washington over the last couple of years. And that's the reason why Atlanta brought him over and they signed him to the contract that they did because they felt confident that he could help them get wins if they needed him to. So his job is to do this, is to come in and yes, you got to be smart with the football. You want your quarterback to play completely conservative because all he's thinking about is making a turnover because you want him to take chances when they're there. But you've got to trust your eyes as a quarterback. What do you see? And you've got to trust your timing. When you see it, you got to get rid of the football. The moment you hesitate, you can't go back and throw the ball in the middle of the field like we saw last week with Desmond Ritter against Carolina. If you don't see it, you get 55% completion rate. If I'm Arthur Smith, I'm going to say we need him to complete 65% plus passes in this game. What does that mean? We're staying on the field in offense. We're picking up first downs and we're playing efficient football with all the playmakers around him. So he's at 55% right now. You've got to be better than that. Three touchdowns, one interception. The turnovers has been the problem. So he's got to go out and make sure they protect the football. It's not all on his shoulders. A lot of that's offensive line. He's got to be good at football, but stay on schedule and give this team a chance to put points on the board. Taylor Heineke will get his third official start under center today with the Atlanta Falcons. Let's switch to the Colts a little bit and talk about their quarterback situation because earlier in the season they of course they dropped Anthony Richardson out of Florida. He actually went out on IR. We'll miss the remainder of the season because of a shoulder injury. Gardner Menchew has come in and he's done a lot of work for this this Indianapolis Colts team. Yeah. So Gardner Menchew was in Philadelphia the last couple of years. He's got the familiarity with Shane Steichen, the head coach for the Colts and so they knew he knew the offense and and Steichen felt comfortable with him as a mentor. Number one or number two, a guy that could come in and help them win football games. Exactly what we were just talking about with Taylor Heineke. The difference has been as Gardner Menchew has been able to help them get some wins. They've won five out of the last six games and they've been averaging 25 points per game in those five wins during that streak, if you will. So 63.3. Remember I was just talking to Taylor Heineke at 55. Gardner Menchew is a little bit higher than that. He's he's at 63 percent, 14 touchdowns, eight interceptions. The big thing that I noticed when I was preparing for this game is the last four games he's been throwing over 37 passes a game. So they are not been shy to throw the football down the field and that's kind of what he is as a quarterback even when he was in college. He's a gunslinger. He's going to take chances. We mentioned the eight interceptions. He's going to give you an opportunity to take the football away. They're going to press the ball down the field so the defense has got to expect it. They've got to communicate and they've got to be ready to make plays on that. Yeah. I don't know if you remember this, but when he was in college he was under Mike Leach who has kind of revolutionized that air raid offense a little bit. So he's very comfortable working with an air raid style offense. But here's the thing that hurts Menchew today. Michael Pittman, the wide receiver. Every quarterback has a wide receiver one. They have a guy they like to throw to who is money every time you get in the ball. He will be out today. He was on concussion protocol earlier last week was elevated off of that concussion protocol. Took the flight down to Atlanta. When he got down here he said I feel a little dizzy. They put him back on concussion protocol. He will not be playing today. Yeah. And that's that's a huge loss for this Colts offense. You see the numbers that he had 99 catches this year over a thousand yards only four touchdowns. But he has been the guy. And then when you go outside of him it drops down to Josh Downs who's got 57 catches, which is not bad. But you look at the majority of the offense went through Michael Pittman down the field. So now you're looking at a guy like Josh Downs or maybe an Alec Pierce who oddly enough went to Cincinnati and played with Desmond Ritter. Those are the guys that are going to have to step up in the passing game. So like I talked about this do they have the same game game plan to push the ball down the field knowing that they don't have one of their best receivers in the game playing today. But they do get Jonathan Taylor back if he's been out for three weeks after he had thumb surgery. So they do get a playmaker back in the back field and somebody that can run the football he can catch it out of the back field. So they get some reinforcements but they also lose their best receiver in Pittman not going to be playing in the game today. So Pittman is obviously a huge miss but you did just glazed over. I don't know how you do that Jonathan Taylor is back. That's a huge, huge win for this Indianapolis Colts team that he was out for week 12 with a thumb injury. Had to have surgery on it. And he said basically I like read an article about his him taking that thumb surgery on. He said I couldn't even hold the ball. I couldn't even put pressure on the ball and I'm holding it. I had to get it done and thankfully for the Colts for the Colts sake he is back today. He has four hundred and fifteen rushing yards so far this season on a hundred carries. What kind of guy is Jonathan Taylor going to be able to do for this often. When he's healthy and when he's full speed he's one of the probably I'd say top five running backs in the national football league. So there was a lot of story around Jonathan Taylor this year. He was put on the pup list early. He missed the first four games of the season and there was obviously a contract situation with him as well. Well then he came back out and he kind of started to get his feet underneath himself and against the Buccaneers had his best game. Just shy of a hundred yards and a couple of rushing touchdowns in that game and the Colts wanted. Well then he ended up getting the thumb injury and he like you said he basically they taped it up just to get him through that game but he didn't have the ability to go out and do what he needs to do especially when you talk about ball security as a running back if you don't have all of your fingers and hands functioning to be able to tuck the football away that's a problem so he had to get himself right. So yes I don't know what his status is as far as how healthy he is if he's close to a hundred percent because he just hasn't played a full season of football like we've seen from him in years past. But to answer your question when he is operating on all cylinders he's one of the best in the league and that's why he gets paid well. That's why he's with this organization and they're going to try to find ways to work the offense through him today. Yeah and you want to make sure that he like his thumb is at least I don't know 85% so that you continue to have that ball security which is something that their defense has done an incredible job of making other offenses miss out on this Colts defense has had a turnover and every single game this season it's the longest active streak in the NFL so far they are turnover machines over there and when you look at this Falcons offense they've struggled in the turnover margin all year long since week one. When you look at this Colts team how do you shut that down how do you maybe snap that record that streak. Yeah when you look at it it doesn't look like a great match up for Atlanta because they've had turnover issues and this is a defense that are facing that has found their way to get the hands on the football. As you mentioned 24 takeaways this year 15 interceptions nine fumbles the 24 takeaways by the way is tied for the second most in the national football league. Safety Julian Blackman he's got four interceptions and two fumble recoveries then you got Kenny Moore he's got three picks took two of those back for touchdowns against the Carolina Panthers they've got eight players on this defense that have at least one interception this year so they're kind of spreading the wealth if you will as far as takeaways go. Sometimes you see it like let's take for Atlanta for instance Jesse Bates has been kind of the guy that's been the culprit of all the takeaways for Atlanta that's not the case for Indianapolis it's been a number of guys have gotten into the party so whether it's pass rush is creating some havoc in some tip passes or the quarterback having to throw the ball off their back foot but the defense is there it's one thing to say that some of these quarterbacks are throwing it right to these guys but I've seen many occasions where defensive backs the balls just go right through their hands or bounces right off their chest you got to give them credit they're making plays so again that's why ball security for Atlanta is going to be so huge in this game. Yeah like you said Kenny Moore three interceptions so far this year two happened in the same game against Carolina in Carolina and they were both pick sixes just incredible by that off that defense excuse me but when you look at all the takeaways I went back earlier in the week and looked at all the takeaways that they had and then what their offense was able to do after those turnovers they're generating points whether it's a field goal or a touchdown they are generating points how important is it to keep number one obviously get those takeaways shut those down a little bit but for this defense today this Falcons defense to be able to bend and not break and not allow them to score points with these turnovers. Yeah I mean they've done at Diana's defense has been really the story of the year in is somewhat of a disappointing year of because Atlanta's defense you look at them statistically and they're performing in the top five top 10 in a lot of the major categories especially when you talk about total defense scoring defense they've been doing their job over there they've been getting the takeaways yes you'd like to see more pass rush you'd like to see more sacks but this defense has been doing a great job of keeping people out of the end zone for the most part even last week in Carolina so yes continue to bend not break even if Gardner Minshew does hit a couple of shots down field or we have a missed tackle there ends up being an explosive play we've seen time and time again this defense find a way to get the stop on second down get the stop on third down force the field goal unit on the field instead of allowing the touchdown but again all these things work hand in hand Taylor if the offense doesn't give away the football it doesn't put the defense back out on the field without having proper rest and you don't put them in situations where they have to bail you out so again a lot of this is complimentary football that you always hear coaches talk about yes so definitely helps this Falcons defense that Michael Pittman will be out today Jonathan Taylor will be back obviously that kind of hurts the defense a little bit because of that run defense that the Falcons have been struggling with since Grady Jarrett has been out with Anyamada as well to get to this cool inactive list obviously Michael Pittman will be out for this game today big big miss for them let's go ahead and take a look at this list Zach Moss also he kind of stepped in while Jonathan Taylor was out as that that number one running back if you will so he's going to be out today how big of a miss is that yeah I mean because he was kind of the backup slash the starter once Jonathan Taylor was out so they're going to be without him he's got a shoulder issue and in those guys place it's been Trace Sermon and Tyler Goodson so you'd like to think about this chart a little bit to be able to fill for Jonathan Taylor if they need to so yes another big loss for Indianapolis on the offensive side of the ball not having the services of Moss and what he can do running and catching on the ball out of the backfield and then you look at the offensive line something that Atlanta has struggled with over the last couple of weeks Brayden Smith the tackle he's a starter he's going to be inactive in this game and Jack Anderson not necessarily a starter but he's that all that ever so important swing offensive lineman that can play guard Ryan Kelly the center ends up going down they don't have a guy behind them that they feel ultra confident with Anderson being out but those four players are the biggest misses for Indianapolis in this game that's right so let's go ahead and get to the Falcons inactive list this is the best inactive list that we've seen in a while because you were talking about their center our center Drew Domin will be back he did not get a game designation on Friday which is good news Lindstrom will be back Matthews will be back as well to pre a huge massive wins for this falcon and listen I hate to see any of these guys that are on the inactive list especially Caleb McGarry a starter but the fact that he's the only one as far as a true starter that's on the inactive list is a huge bonus for Atlanta getting the reinforcements back especially on the offensive line we know that this team really offensively runs through their run game and you do that when you have your starters that are available and yes they still try to commit to the run game in the last couple weeks like you saw even last week in Carolina they were not able to run the football as effectively as they like because they didn't have the starters back in the lineup David Anyamata I think is going to be a huge boost for this team he's been one of those unsung heroes that not everything shows up in the stat sheet for him but the amount of havoc that he creates the amount of double teams that he demands when he's in the game and how that frees everybody else up in the middle of that defense is huge so the fact that they're getting some players back they've got to use that as motivation as confidence building to help them get a victory in this game and you talk about being hungry you look at David Anyamata and Bud Dupri some guys who have missed some games this year and when your season is on the line I bet you're hungrier than ever especially these who they want to come out and win and win big losses of him doing some really good things for Atlanta this year he's got to find a way to get free Anyamata's got to continue to find a way to create some havoc Kaden Ellis has got to be active in that linebacker level Jesse Bates continue to do what he's been doing the entire season defense has been one of the best stories now when you get a couple of guys back can they continue to be dominant and shut this Colts offense down exactly so let's go ahead and get to the keys to the game today presented by Wells Fargo they're going to be first in the AFC excuse me their division their division AFC South my gosh I just lost me they're going to be number one in their division and they're hoping for the Jacksonville Jaguars to lose today as well so we're both rooting or no are we no they're rooting for Tampa we're rooting for Jacksonville that was just lost on me but let's go ahead and get to the keys to the game what is your first key today it's going to be avoid the critical mistakes and I think it's been a critical turnovers especially when Atlanta gets into the red zone but I'm not going to limit it at just turnovers when you get into the red zone you've got to make sure you don't have those penalties the holding penalty that potentially takes you from scoring a touchdown and now into field goal range or you're in field goal range and now it takes you out of field goal range and you've got to punt the football those are critical errors when at times this year it's been a struggle to score points you can't eliminate maybe you've got a great stop going on defense and all of a sudden you commit a penalty and you give them a free first down those are all the critical errors that you cannot afford to have in this game if you want to keep playoff hopes alive if you want to get back on the winning ways you've got to find a way to avoid those mistakes and I think that what will help not making these critical mistakes today is having that veteran line back in front in front of your quarterback today keeping that game slowing it down like I said last week and you saw them struggle a little bit they kind of played a lot of snaps hadn't seen a start yet in the NFL so that's a lot of nerves a lot of you know things in your mind and if you can slow it down and these guys have been able to show that they can slow the field down they can slow the game down they don't get all of those flags tacked on them and especially in the red zone absolutely you know we go back last week I mean they have two really good defensive line this year alright so let's go to key number two today defend the pass walk me through this one yeah we talked a little bit about this I mean Indianapolis has not been afraid to throw the football especially over the last four games we talked about 37 and a half pass attempts they've been averaging over the last four games so what does that tell me Shane Steichen is not afraid to put the ball in the air with his backup quarterback and Gardner Minshew it feels very confident in what he's doing so if you're the defensive whether that's the short intermediate routes where you have communication going with crossing routes across the field passing all things from linebackers to the safety or it's the shots that they take down field our corners safety's being on the right page and then finding a way to either knock the football away or let's deal a possession so defending the pass I think it's going to be huge even though they get Jonathan Taylor back they're still going to take their shots down field likely going to be more of a Josh Downs or a Moe Alley Cox in the tight end on the football I'm not even going to say anything on top of that because he just eloquently explained the whole thing let's get the key number through today what is the third and final key got to find a way to get touches for the playmakers on offense and to me in my opinion that goes with Drake London Kyle Pitts Bijan Robinson Tyler Algier I think if those are the four guys that they receive a lion's share the touches in this game you're in pretty good shape offensively because those guys are going to do at home versus on the road he is a comfortable receiver when he's playing inside of Mercedes-Benz Stadium so let's find a way to get him the football use that size advantage he had a beautiful catch the last time they played against the Buccaneers here at Mercedes-Benz Stadium going up over the top of the defense Kyle Pitts can do the same we know Bijan Robinson what he's able to do running the football making people miss sticking one foot in the ground making a defender with on a tackle on the offense picking up those first downs breaking tackles those are all the things that get your offense excited they pick up first downs and it's a way to punch the ball in the end zone those are the four guys no disrespect anybody else on the offense but those four guys need to see a lion's share of the touches on offense yeah like you said last home game against the Buccaneers Drake Linden had the best game of his NFL career I know it's only been two seasons but that's still a huge mark for him 10 receptions on 11 attempts 172 yards big game it's insane last week in the pregame show but I spoke to him after that game and I said that was probably one of the craziest catches I've ever seen he laughed at me because he was like you don't think I could catch that ball like come on or he was thinking Taylor I've had so many other catches that I think are a whole lot more spectacular than that one I thought it was a cool catch maybe we'll see a couple of not just really great catches but easy simple catches down the field and I think Drake Linden needs to touch the ball early Calpits needs to touch the ball early get those guys some confidence that way they're they're almost like going to the sideline the calling and the play like coach bring give me the ball get me back involved in the game plan I think a lot of times what happens is Drake doesn't end up touching the ball until late in the second quarter maybe even the second half he starts to get a little frustrated he sees that the offense isn't moving he wants to do something to help this team move the ball down to Bijan out in space where he can make people miss make that electric play and maybe we can see him punch the ball back into the end zone as well exactly so we've got a big matchup coming your way today lots of the line for both of these teams for their division standings obviously if the Colts win today they'll be in first place of the AFC South if the Falcons win today they survive and live to see another day in the National Football League if they lose today they will most likely be eliminated from playoff contention but it's Christmas Eve it's the National Football League it's football it's fun it's a game at the end of the day and it's a good it's a fun game so thank you so much for joining us for this Christmas Eve edition of the Falcons Pre-Game Show presented by Ticketmaster we're going to be in the studio for the next two weeks because we're ending the NFL regular season on the road next week in Chicago and the week after that down in New Orleans so we're going to be breaking down all those things for you in the next two weeks we'll see you then


This is part of that toxic culture. If a woman is calm and she communicates well and she's receptive to you and things like that, it's almost interpreted like, oh, she don't really like me like that or I haven't dicked her down properly, but if I'm the Casanova that I think I am, she should be key in my car and she should be going boom.  Girl, tell me how you really feel. I want to keep it real with you. I want to live better, eat better. I want to love better, sleep better. Yeah. I want to feel so aligned.  Oh yeah, I like them. Shout out to Abba and Preach. Yeah, I love them. They are very interesting and I like that they are okay with saying whatever they feel and things like that. And I do agree with a lot of things that they say, partially because I have two brothers who think almost exactly the same way that they do. So I kind of grew up that way. Plus I'm not biased. So even though I'm a female, I'm not biased female. So let me ask you this. I think it's a good place to start. What are some things, a thing or some things that you're unclear about when it comes to men? And maybe I can help shed some light. So you're going to interview me and then we'll flip it. OK, so I'm going to do a little thinking emoji real quick. Something I'm unclear of. Yeah, like why do men do this or think like this? I mean, I think I know, but I'm going to ask anyway just because, you know, I'm asking you this time. So why is it that men tend to gravitate towards women with drama? I'm going to give you an answer that I don't know if you've heard before, but it's something I came up with recently. Unfortunately, we have created a very toxic culture. And one aspect of that toxicity is it has glamorized dysfunction, right?   So some men actually seek out crazy women to validate themselves. I like that answer that answers a lot. OK, I've heard most of it. Exactly, because like if a woman and this is part of that toxic culture, if a woman is calm and she communicates well and she's receptive to you and things like that, it's almost interpreted like she don't really like me like that. Or I haven't dicked her down properly. But if I'm the Casanova that I think I am, she should be keying my car and she should be going boom.  Yeah, yeah. Oh, I know a few.  That's one reason why I had to ask that. Like I am actually pretty calm. I can get crazy if need be, but not crazy like that. You know, I will communicate properly. I have no problems saying what I feel at all because I feel like if I don't say it, then I'm going to regret not saying it later. But my reputation means a lot to me.  He's got me wrapped around his finger like that. That's not me. Yeah. So I had to ask that question specifically because I've had a lot of experience with guys who are, let me go to her, you know, and I'm like, OK. Yeah.  And some men, whether they're conscious of that or not, they, they, they leverage that and they use it. And again, it validates some aspect of their masculinity or their perceived masculinity.  What's your experience with that? I've actually had a guy tell me that he needs me to be a little bit more emotional. And I was like, I've never heard that before. I'm a very emotional person. But he's saying, he was saying to the point of, I need you to tell me and show me when you're mad at me, you know, and don't hold back. And I was like, why?  I don't want to. When I get really mad, I walk away. Like I have to calm down before I do something I'm going to regret. So I don't want to regret doing anything, you know, especially if I actually do care about that person and want them in my life past, you know, past the term of being upset. I just need to cool off. Let me go reassess myself. Make sure that I'm the reason why I'm mad is actually a legitimate reason to be mad. Yeah, come back and let's talk about this.  There are some ways, though, just not like that. So yeah.  Did you feel like it was an ego thing? I thought it was that and also the whole sexual part. Like if she's crazy outside of sex, she's probably crazy during sex, you know? I mean, in my opinion, that's not necessarily the case. If you do it right, the woman will be, you know, calm outward and like not in the bedroom and then in the bedroom, she could be crazy and, you know, all that stuff. So but if you're not going to take the time to get to know who I am internally, I'm not going to want to open up as much in the bedrooms I want to, you know? So and I could be crazy, you know, I could be crazy, but I don't want to be crazy if it's not warranted.  Right. Is that when you look at a lot of our fetishes and even the vocabulary that we used to talk about sex, a lot of it is violent, right?   And a lot of times we haven't really investigated where it comes from. But like, why do you feel like it is such a glamorized image of like violence being married with sex? And that is the ideal. Unfortunately, being black, we have a lot of violence in our culture. So almost everything is violent. And that, of course, stems from slavery. Yeah, I believe that it comes from that. And it started from the white man creating violence in our lives. And that therefore we kept taking in that violence into every part of our, you know, culture. And now we're just stuck that way. I mean, I'm not saying completely stuck that way, but that's how it is now. You know, right. It's programmed in our mind that violence is the way to go. That's why it's always about shooting and killing.  If I don't have to be, I like to be really chill about stuff. I like to laugh, like to have fun.   I mean, there's so much stuff going on in this world these days. Like, why do we need to add more to it? Like, can we just can we just get along? We all just get along. So, I mean, so in your experience, right?  How do you feel like the history that informs us has affected how we interact with each other, specifically black men and black women? How we interact with each other these days, 2022? I think what we're all proud of of our environment, right? So, unfortunately, my mom was single mom. Right. So, she's experienced things from what happened with the exes, you know, how they came and approached her. She was actually a very nice person and let them walk all over her. Reason being is because my family, her parents were married, but then they got divorced. There was some things that happened there. I'm not going to go into that. But, you know, she felt like she had to be a certain way in order for a man to love her, right? And that was being more submissive and being like, if he's doing this, I'm not going to actually say anything about it because I love him kind of thing, you know, but her now totally different. Just because of the fact she's grown up, she's realized that that's not how it should be and she's OK with vocalizing how she feels about things. And myself, I actually am OK with vocalizing things. And that's just because I've seen things I never liked. So I never wanted to grow up that way or even bring children in, you know, to this world and them see me be a certain way.  And then if they're not, they can go to someone else, you know? So it's kind of like, I'm going to keep you here. I have that control type thing. I really think a lot of it is based off of control and product of your environment. So you brought up something I think is interesting, because I think a lot of times we talk about, especially amongst women, we'll talk about the trauma that was experienced by either a father that wasn't there or a father who wasn't a good one. Right. But we very seldom talk about the mother. Right. And the mother wound, the mother trauma and how that affects who we become as men and as women.  Oof, mom, I love you. Mom, I love you. I do. We have a great relationship now, but it was not like that at all in the beginning. I'm the first. I'm the only female, like the only girl she's ever had. And she had me young. She was 19. Now her she grew up with two sisters. Her mom left when she was younger, so she was raised by her dad. She didn't really know how to be a mom. So therefore she created more of a distance. And it was I was very much neglected as a kid. She told me herself she didn't like me when I was a kid. So that created a lot of issues in me, you know, I created like I made me feel like I couldn't actually have a stable relationship with someone because of that, whether it be friends or romantic that carried on into my adulthood. I'm actually still dealing with that now, but not as bad. And she basically would just be kind of, no, I don't want to do with this. You know, like if I come if I came to her dismissive, yes, very dismissive. If I was like, mom, I just really want you to give me a hug and she would not do it at all. That's because she wasn't she didn't grow up that way either. So she didn't know how to give what she never thought. So now as an older person, she's in her fifties now. She is more loving and she does act. She gives me hugs and she tells me, oh, Chris, I love you so much. I'm so grateful to have you as my daughter. I don't know how I got blessed, you know, to have you and all that kind of stuff. But it took literally me to tell her I don't want anything to do with you anymore for her to realize how much that hurt me. Yeah, I'll never get that conversation. And I was 26 a few years ago, but I have to tell her, look, I can't do this anymore.  And she called me crying and apologizing. Ever since then, we have been working on our relationship. So absent mom, even even though she could have, you know, she was there physically, she wasn't always there emotionally. And I also didn't have my dad in my life either because he honestly didn't even know I was I was existing. So he didn't know until I was 16, almost 17. And then, you know, we started to have a relationship. So I basically grew up with lack of parents in general.  That's usually are literally physically absent. So that's why they always say something like, my dad did this, my dad, you know, he wasn't there. That's the whole thing. But they don't necessarily think about the parent who was there and how they were raised based off of that. Because I mean, but parents are human. They're not going to be perfect, you know, but they can at least strive to be as much as possible. So you think we give mom so much grace because at least she was there. She was a shitty mom, but she was there. She was there. How do you think these shitty moms? Because I want to shine a light on shitty moms because I believe and I talk about this sometimes. I think a bad father could ruin a family. I think a bad mother could ruin a generation, right? And I think we downplay that.  Black boys. OK. I think that, well, honestly, I don't think it's just boys, though. I think it's both.  Another product of your environment type situation.   Was she always there or when she could be? Because she, you know, help you out.  I've seen it.  I'm trying to say it's OK to be emotional, but not necessarily dwell in that emotion all the time. You need to get it out. And being a black man, a lot of times I've seen a lot of black men who are not aware of how to deal with that because they've been told by many people, women, too, don't cry. Don't show your emotions.  You got to be tough. But then a tough person is a person who can deal with their emotions and get over it, right? So that's I that's a way that I think that a lot of women also moms, you know, when women are moms, a lot of them can make a man or a boy actually grow up and to be a man that's not necessarily a healthy man. One of the things that I see happen and happening, too, is like. A lot of men have this. Unhealthy idea of black women, a lot of black men have a lot of an unhealthy idea of black women because of their mom, right? And we very rarely talk about that. Like it's just, oh, Tyrone don't like black women, but we never actually investigate the fact that the paradigm that was set for him by his mom was one of all the all the things the belligerence and the argumentative and the bad listener in the whole nine. So two part question, do you feel like we give black men enough grace and how can we do better at acknowledging some of the wounds? Because we talk about that. Oh, your dad wasn't around, but we don't talk about the mom wound. How do you think we can better pay homage to the mom room that a lot of black men are dealing with?   And then she brought in, you know, ratchet friends. Was that your experience with that? Or have you ever met a black woman who's actually educated and holds her own really well and does not look into, you know, wanting to get somebody's attention because it's a negative type of attention. You know, like, what are your reasons? Is it more feature wise or is it more, you know, emotional? What's what's the situation there? You know, so I like to dig deep into somebody's reasoning behind that because I actually have heard a few people say I don't date black women and that's fine. I used to say I don't date black men, right? And I have my reasons behind that. And what was your second part again? I can't remember. How can we do better? How can we do better? Yeah. I think as a black woman, we could do better by showing different sides of ourselves. There's not just one side. You know, I mean, I did not grow up in the ghetto. I have lived in some ghettos, but I didn't grow up there. I've grown up all over different types of things, suburban or in the country.  So I've actually taken upon different parts of those specific cultures and, you know, experiences that I've had that make me, you know, I think there are so many different parts of a person that you don't have to actually sit there and just be one. So can we show them that we can be more than just ratchet or more than just mad black woman, you know, more than nagging and try to at least show appreciation at the same time. So I have a little story. I actually have a black guy friend and I showed him some appreciation just by literally taking him out on his birthday just because, no, who does that?  I was like, let's just go. Let's go get some drinks to go to a nice place. He was so shocked. He was like, this never happens to me. That's sad to say. Who are you? And I was like, but you deserve to be appreciated to show that you're appreciated, you know, and it's nothing else there. We were literally just platonic friends. That's it. And we had a wonderful night, just drinks, conversation, playing pool. That was it. And to this day, he is like so happy about this. He was like, you're one of my favorite people. I really love that you did that. Nobody does that to me. You know, I didn't want sex. I didn't want nothing. I just literally wanted to just be a friend. So I think we should start doing stuff like that and showing men, especially black men, we appreciate, you know, we appreciate you guys. It's not all about what you can give me.


Prepare to delve into the depths of history where the origins of Christmas and the winter solstice intertwine revealing a tapestry of esoteric symbolism and ancient traditions. Through this captivating exploration we'll uncover the true essence of these celebrations, transcending their modern day interpretations and delving into their profound spiritual significance. Brace yourself for a journey of enlightenment as we unravel the enigmatic connections between these two seemingly diverse events uncovering their shared connection to the cosmos, the human spirit, and the cyclical nature of life itself. Enlightenment. Delusional. The origins of Christmas predate Christianity through the pagan holiday called Saturnalia, which was a week long of lawlessness from December 17th through December 25th that honored Saturn, hence Saturnalia, and included human sacrifice, intoxication, naked caroling, and rape. During these seven days there were no punishments for breaking any laws according to Roman law. In the year 4 AD Christianity adopted Saturnalia with the hopes that they could convert the pagans into Christianity by promising them that they could still celebrate Saturnalia as Christians. Imagine how that would work out today, right? Because Saturnalia did not follow Christian principles, the Christian leaders designated the last day of Saturnalia as the birth date of Jesus. Because of the pagan origins of Christmas the Puritans banned this holiday and between 1659 and 1681 Christmas was illegal in Massachusetts. In 1466 the Roman Catholic Church under Pope Paul II forced Jews to run through the city naked as a tribute to Saturnalia. According to author David Kurtzer in his book The Vatican Role in the Rise of Modern Antisemitism he stated before they were to run the Jews were richly fed so as to make the race more difficult for them and at the same time more amusing for the spectators. And they did this while the Holy Father stood upon a richly ornamented balcony and laughed heartily. Although I don't think his laugh sounded like that. It's important to note that in Astro theology Saturn is Satan. The rings we give during wedding rituals represent the rings of Saturn. The word Saturday originates from the old English word that means Saturn's day. Just as Sunday is the day of the sun Monday is moon day and Thursday is the day named after Thurston Howell from Gilligan's Island. Actually it was named after the Norse god of thunder Thor hence Thor's day. Hey I'm just kidding about Thurston Howell you know. I am not abused. Okay well moving on. To this day many people continue to unknowingly celebrate Saturnalia through their participation in the pottery and gluttony. Oftentimes Christmas celebrations are commonly a day of excess in food and alcohol. Astonishingly Saturn is depicted in Christian art in various churches yet people don't seem to question why this distant planet is symbolized in churches and cathedrals on stained glass. For example on the ceiling of Saint Andrew's church on Waterloo Street in East Sussex there's a painting showing the sun surrounded by stars a comet and a crescent moon and Saturn. Now keep in mind that in Astro theology Saturn is Satan so why would this representation be found in churches? The inner circle of 12 stars most likely represent the 12 apostles surrounding the sun S-U-N slash S-O-N which is another Astro theological reference to Jesus Christ being the Son of God and once again Sunday the day of the sun. The outer circle contains nine stars the crescent eclipse of the moon Saturn and a comet that appears to perhaps be diving toward the sun. Now could this be a solar event being prophesied through art? Perhaps. The nine stars plus Saturn may represent the 10 planets in our solar system. If Nibiru is counted as one of those stars the moon represents the divine feminine and the virgin mother. The Cologne Cathedral in Germany clearly shows Saturn on their stained glass window and it was not placed there randomly. Hey mister why don't you put some Saturn in that picture? Each season is reflected by the tilt and spin of the earth's axis resulting with the sun being more prominent in the northern hemisphere for half the year and in the southern hemisphere for the other half. The winter solstice occurs in winter when the sun has reached its lowest elevation reflected with the fewest amount of daylight hours and the greatest amount of nighttime hours around December 21st and that's in the northern hemisphere. Our seasons are reflected by the amount of sun and darkness that we receive. During the autumn equinox our daily sunlight is waning or decreasing and at one point the day and night are equal in length. During the winter solstice we have the shortest day of the year December 21st or so. During the spring equinox daily sunlight is waxing or increasing and once again at one point the day and night are equal in length. And finally we have the summer solstice which gives us the longest day of the year. Now that could be a good thing or a bad thing. Will this day ever end or yes this day will last forever. Pagans and Christians alike celebrate their holidays on sacred astrological dates and Christmas is no exception. This particular holiday has been celebrated for much longer by the ancients as one of the four great festivals that reflect each season through astrology and astronomy. Various mystery schools have also celebrated the change of season in association with the various astrological signs that fall on the spring and fall equinoxes as well as the summer and winter solstices. In an esoteric sense the sun's cycle represents your soul's growth and consciousness along with the illumination of your soul and enlightenment. To envision this imagine that spring is the birth of your soul. Once you have reached a summer your soul begins its descent from its spiritual home into incarnating to this planet. As days begin to get shorter beginning on the summer solstice the decrease in sunlight represents the veil of forgetfulness where we do not remember why we came here or what our purpose is. As the days become longer beginning on the winter solstice your soul is released from its physical presence and makes its ascension back into its spiritual home with source. That's it I'm out of here. On the Wheel of Life winter is the season of rest and represents preparation for renewed life similar to how some animals go into hibernation. It's also known as the time of germination as spring brings the flowering a plant life that follows the maturation process into summer. Autumn gives us our crops along with new seeds and we return to winter to complete the full cycle and prepare for renewed life. The seasons teach us a lot about the process of birth life death and rebirth. Alchemy provides us the saying as above so below. Think about this along the lines of how we came here and how we leave this vessel. After the sperm fertilizes the egg we go through a maturation process that is identical to the exact number of days of both the maturation of corn from a seed along with the gestation period for a woman to give birth to a child. The child travels down the birth canal the tunnel and the child is brought from darkness to birth the light. As confirmed through near death experiences we follow the same process of going through a tunnel and following the light back to source. In a grander scheme this cycle is repeated through seasons and our personal lives from birth to death proving how life is simply a mere fractal of the universe the cosmos and ultimately of source. The winter solstice falls under the sign of Capricorn which represents materialism and ego. In Astro Theology this is the time when Jesus the son indulges in materialism Capricorn after leaving his father's home. It is also the time when Jesus the son dies on the cross where the son remains on the southern cross constellation for three days only to be reborn again as the days begin to get longer after this three-day period. What religion fails to teach us are the esoteric and occult meanings of the equinoxes and solstices. Adepts of mystery schools and practitioners of the occult sciences can also attest to the cosmic currents and life force of each season. While people argue over the ethnic sensitivity issues between saying Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays the truth dates back much further than its Christian beginnings. The intent of Christmas seems to be the overriding value of its true esoteric meaning or its pagan origin. A symbol or celebration is only as powerful as the intent behind it. While Christmas has become the biggest holiday that supports the corporate world which in turn lobbies against our civil rights it's also a time of giving and being with family so enjoy that time with your family and don't overthink it it's all about family.

Oh, I bet there was a lot of yee-haw on the set of this one. Heh, Star Wars. This episode was directed by Robert Rodriguez, and I can kind of just imagine him and Filoni on set, both wearing their cowboy hats, being howdy, howdy, howdy, comparing and talking about different types of cowboy hats, because those guys both love to wear cowboy hats. Anyways, this episode was about the Mando and Grogu going to the Seeing Stone, this specific site of Jedi legacy, and there they encountered two very big surprises. One being the thing that they kind of teased at the beginning of the season. That was a cool surprise, and that was actually a pretty cool moment seeing those guys in action, and that's kind of the extent of the episode, because to be honest, absolutely nothing happens in this episode except for one thing, and that they have to go and save Grogu. Again, now I do say that the action in this episode, despite being as far into the limit of PG as they could go, it was pretty well done, and we know that Robert Rodriguez could do that. We know that the guy has a hand for action, and he can do this kind of stuff. However, this is probably the lightest episode on story of all of them, and the most emotional thing that happens is the ship gets blown up, because I actually felt more lost for that than when Grogu got abducted again, because we didn't even get to see the robot things do anything. They just flew down, picked them up, and flew back up again, and that was it. That was the extent of these things that they teased in the episode before. Then we see him go to where Call of Regina is, and he's like, hey, I need help. I also need Bill Burr for some reason, and I'm really hoping that if Bill, in fact, is coming back in the next episode, that they take him off the morphine drip that they had him in the previous season, because I've never seen Bill Burr so dead. I wanna see the man be funny. So I'm hoping that that happens, but we'll see. This episode is a very, very, very much middle of the road. If anything, this is probably the least entertaining episode to me, in terms of story, action, sure, but it's kind of the weakest episode of this season so far. And that's a lot to say, considering how stellar majority of this season has been. It's clearly a placeholder, and it also kind of brings up the conversation of what they're gonna do with season three. How can they keep relating the story to him protecting Grogu and him kind of taking on this thing because it's gonna get old fast. That's a bit to say, obviously, but the stick is starting to wear a little bit thin, so I'm hoping that maybe in the last three episodes we get a little bit more, but so far there's a continuing narrative that looks like it's being established, so the next three episodes are all probably gonna be one thing, so that's a pretty good thing. Anyways, I'm gonna give this episode a four out of seven. It was enjoyable, it was fun, but very, very little happened in it, and I was a little bit disappointed on that. It was cool to see Robert Rodriguez do something again, and also the big reveal, which I won't say, that's the only thing I won't spoil about this episode, but that was really cool to see this character again play by the actor who plays him.

Fokasof my research is towards the development of novel materials that could be used to store hydrogen for automobile applications and to make purification materials for use in air filtration in fuel cell cars. Once you have air contaminants that get into the fuel cell, they really can combine with the expensive platinum catalyst and reduce the performance or the efficiency of the fuel cell. So my research is focused on trying to ensure that that doesn't happen. I'm trying to combine ionic liquids with a variety of different chemicals to from hybrid absorbance that we have potential for actually reversibly capturing the acidic gas contaminants that have the most impact on the fuel cell. The other part of my research is focused on making better hydrogen storage materials for on-board applications. I'm actually looking at developing new magnesium boride hydrogen storage materials that have the capability of storing a high amount of hydrogen in a very small amount of volume. So that would save a lot of space in the car. The hydrogen storage challenge is a really big challenge that's preventing the commercial availability of fuel cell cars. So we want to find better ways of making them cheap. One of the greatest advantages of solid state hydrogen storage, especially through metal hydride, is that you don't have to worry so much about the risk associated with high pressure hydrogen storage. So that's one of the major advantages and why departments like Department of Energy are pursuing hydride materials. In the future, I'm going to expand the research that I'm doing to involve water purification. So it's still using the fundamental chemistry basis that I learnt and that I'm developing in the year to get into new applications to use the materials that I'm developing. If people or companies are coming to me for technical assistance in the area that I am working in, I'll be very happy to assist them and I'm also very happy to share the knowledge and materials synthesis and characterization abilities that we have in here with the industry so that we get a mutual benefit and we achieve a higher goal than just we could achieve individually.


Welcome, I welcome you all to this lecture in the course Sandhi in Panimian Grammar. We continue to study Hal Sandhi or Consonant Sandhi. Hal Sandhi is a Sandhi that comes in place of a Hal and Hal is a Consonant. We classified Hal Sandhi into two broad classes Ekasthanika Ekadesha and Ekasthanika Dvyadesha. Ekasthanika Ekadesha is one substituent which is replaced by one substitute Ekasthanika Ekadesha. Whereas Ekasthanika Dvyadesha is one substituent which is replaced by two substitutes Ekasthani Dvyadesha. Ekasthanika Ekadesha has been studied so far in this course. In this lecture we shall start the study of Ekasthanika Dvyadesha one substituent being replaced by two substitutes. This can be diagrammatically represented in the following manner where you have A plus B in the environment of B A is substituted by two A and X. This is Ekasthanika Dvyadesha. There are three instances of Ekasthanika Dvyadesha Satva Anusvara Sandhi, Dvir Vachana Sandhi and also Agama Sandhi. Satva Anusvara Sandhi we shall be dealing with at the end primarily because of its relation with the next type of Sandhi namely the Visargha Sandhi. First we shall deal with the Dvir Vachana Sandhi and then we shall study the Agama Sandhi. Let us continue studying Dvir Vachana Sandhi. So what is Dvir Vachana? The word Dvir Vachana has got two components Dvihi and Vachana. Dvihi means twice and Vachana is utterance. Put together Dvir Vachana means uttering a verbal element twice, reduplication. In a nutshell what it means is that substituting one verbal element by two utterances of the same sound or same verbal element. So if we have X given in an environment to utter this X twice. So substitute this X by two utterances of the same X. So this X X substitutes X. This is how the substitution as far as the reduplication is concerned happens. This is why this is described as Dvir Vachana Sandhi where Ekasthanika Dvyadesha takes place. Here is a brief description of the reduplication in the Ashtadhyayi, the grammar composed by Panini. In the Ashtadhyayi, reduplication of elements is described at three places. First in 6.1, 6th chapter, first sub-chapter and this is the reduplication of verbal root in various environments be it past perfect or be it desiderative root formation or frequentative root formation. The verb and the verbal root gets reduplicated. The rules describing this reduplication are stated in 6.1. Then we have another section at the beginning of 8.1. We have the sutras describing the reduplication of the finished words or padas sarvasya dvay and finally we have a section in 8.4 which describes the reduplication of sounds. Mainly the consonants, the reduplication of consonants and this is what we are going to study in this particular lecture. This is what is described as Dvir Vachana Sandhi. The Dvir Vachana replacing the one sound. Here are the sutras that we are going to deal with. Let us take up the first sutra in this list namely achorahabhyam dvay, 8446. This particular sutra has got 3 padas achah, rahabhyam and dvay. Achah is 5 slash 1 of ach, ach is a vowel. So achah means immediately after a vowel. Rahabhyam is 5 slash 2 of rah, referring to the sounds r and her. So rahabhyam means immediately after the sounds r and her. Dvay is 1 slash 2 of dvay, meaning thereby 2 substitutes. The words continued from the previous sutra are yaraha which is 6 slash 1 of yar and we have seen that yar means all consonants minus her. So yaraha means in place of yar that is all consonants minus her. Va means optionally. All these meanings put together, the meaning of the sutra can be stated in the following manner. In place of sound yar that is all consonants minus her, substitute its 2 utterances when it refers to yar when yar comes immediately after sounds r and her which come immediately after a vowel and do this substitution optionally. I repeat in place of sound yar, yaraha substitute its 2 utterances dvay when it comes immediately after sounds r and her rahabhyam which comes immediately after a vowel achaha and do this operation optionally. Va. This can be shown in the form of an equation in the following manner. We have ach followed by r or her followed by yar.  So this 1 yar is substituted by 2 yars and this substitution is optional which means that we can also have this as an output or this can also be another output. Let us look at the examples but before that let us study the structure in this particular re-duplication Sandhi. Here we have a plus b plus c. So a and b are the Purva nimittas and c is the sthani the substitute in. So when these nimittas exist then this c gets substituted by cc. This is the re-duplication. The most important part here to remember is that the environments notably the left hand side environment goes one more slot backwards. So far we have studied Sandhi's where only b was the left hand side environment. Here we go one step backwards and include a as well in the left hand side environment. Here are the examples or kaha. Here we have a which is ach followed by re followed by c which is yar and so this is ach this is re this is c ach plus re plus c and then this c gets re-duplicated. This c is substituted by the twice occurrence of c by the application of 8446 and this is the output generated or caha. There are two kakharas. Similarly Brahma here there is a after bra which is ach followed by ha. Now this ha is also followed by ma which is a yar and so this yar gets substituted by its twice occurrence and so the output generated after the application of 8446 is brahma. There are two makharas. Similarly Hariyanobhavaha here we have after her which is ach followed by re which is re in the sutra followed by here which is a yar and therefore this one year is substituted by its two utterances. So you have Hariyanobhavaha as the output generated after the application of 8446. Similarly Naihasti. Once again Naihasti and there is this akara after na this is ach followed by her followed by here that is yar. So this year gets re-duplicated and so we have the two akaras being the substitute of one yakara. This is the output generated. Similarly Urja. This is u that is an ach followed by refl followed by j which is yar. So this yar gets re-duplicated. This one year is substituted by two years and we get Urja. We also note that all these outputs are optional which means that the other non-re-duplicated output is also available. Let us study the next sutra which states this re-duplications which is anachi char. This is 8447. This consists of two words anachi and char. Anachi is seven slash one of anachi. Anachi means absence of ach. Ach is a vowel. So absence of a vowel. Anachi means immediately before the absence of a vowel. Char means and and the words that are continued from the previous sutra are achaha five slash one of ach. Ach means a vowel. So achaha means immediately after a vowel. The way is one slash two of dvi. Dvi means here two substitutes. Yara ha is six slash one of yar meaning all consonants minus her. So yara ha means in place of yar and wa means optionally. All this put together the meaning of anachi char can be stated in the following manner. Immediately before the absence of a vowel in place of yar substitute its two occurrences if it means yar comes immediately after a vowel and do this optionally. I repeat immediately before the absence of a vowel that is anachi in place of yar yara ha substitute its two occurrences dvi if it it means yar comes immediately after a vowel achaha optionally that is wa. So here we have ach plus yar plus anach given these environments now this yar will be substituted by its two occurrences. So the output generated after the application of 8447 is ach plus yar plus yar plus anach and this redeplication is optional. This can be represented once again in the form of a diagram in this particular manner where we have a plus b plus c a is the left hand side environment c is the right hand side environment in both these environments b is substituted by its own twice occurrences. So a plus b plus c is the input and a plus bb plus c is the output and here are the examples. So when we have the dhyatra derived after the application of the sutra eco-energy which has got the dhadi and atra as input. So we have the dhyatra. Now here we have a coming after this dh which is an ach ach after which comes dh which is a yar after which comes yar which is a non ach or anach. So we have ach plus yar plus anach and this yar then gets reduplicated and after the redeplication happens the first dha is substituted by dha after the application of the sutra jalaam jash jashy and so we get dhadhyatra there is dha plus dha plus yar and this is optional. So optionally we will also get dhadhyatra. Similarly madhvatra so madhu plus atra and madhvatra. Now once again here we have a after ma this is ach followed by dha which is yar followed by v which is anach this is not a vowel so v is a consonant. So we have ach followed by dha that is yar followed by v that is anach. So the conditions for the application of 8447 are fulfilled and so this dha is substituted by its two occurrences and so we have ma dha dha vatra the first dha is substituted by dha by the application of the sutra jalaam jash jashy and so we will get the output madhvatra. Of course this is optional so we will get madhvatra as another output. Let us proceed further and study the next sutra nadinyakroshay putrasya 8448. So this particular sutra has got four words na adinyakroshay and putrasya. Now means not there is a negation over here negation of the two substitutes in place of one negation of the reduplication the next word is adiny this word is in 7 slash 1 of the word adiny with the sup suffix being deleted and so the word adiny means immediately before the word adiny. Akroshay 7 slash 1 of akroshay that is censure so akroshay means in the sense of censure. Putrasya 6 slash 1 of putra meaning thereby of putra as part of the word putra and of course dve continues which is 1 slash 2 of dvi which means two substitutes. So the meaning of this sutra is the following in the sense of censure reduplication does not happen in the word putra which comes immediately before the word adiny. So when we have a compound putra and adiny and when there is akroshay intended by the speaker the speaker wants to censure somebody so putra adiny then you do not have the reduplication putra adiny tomasi pape. So we have putra adiny without ta being reduplicated if we have this particular word written this is not allowed this is negated. So you see there is this ta coming twice this ta plus ta and rha this is not possible this is negated by 8448 putra adiny this form is in fact generated by the the process of samasa or the compounding this is the negation of the two substitutes or the reduplication. Let us proceed further and study 8449. 8449 is saroji there are two padas in this sutra saraha and achi. Saraha is 6 slash 1 of shar. Shar stands for sounds shar, shar and sar. So saraha means in place of these three sounds achi is 7 slash 1 of ach meaning immediately before a bobble the words continued from the previous sutras are achaha 5 slash 1 of ach that is bobble so immediately after a bobble raha bhyaam is 5 slash 2 of raha that is sounds rha and rha and so raha bhyaam means immediately after rha and rha. Then we have dvay which is 1 slash 2 of dvay meaning two substitutes and we also have na continued which means not or negation. After having put all these meanings together we get the following meaning of the sutra namely in place of shar is its reduplicated utterance is not substituted when it is preceded immediately by rha and rha which are preceded in their turn immediately by a bobble and when it is followed by a bobble when shar is followed by a bobble to put it in the form of an equation we can say that ach plus rha or rha plus shar plus ach given this environment ach plus rha or rha plus shar plus ach given this environment this shar is not substituted by its reduplication. So, we have the example karshati where this a is an ach followed by rha followed by shar which is a shar followed by another bobble a over here. So, we have ach plus rha plus shar plus ach in this case this shar namely shar is not substituted by its reduplication. So, it remains as karshati no optional reduplication is available similarly adarshah. So, there is this ach after the followed by rha followed by shar which is shar followed by a which is ach. So, we have ach plus rha plus shar plus ach and then this shar in this particular environment is not substituted by its reduplicated utterance. In both these cases and all these cases it is achorahabhyamthve which is prescribing which is describing the reduplicated utterance substituting this year consonant this shar consonant but this particular sutra states that if there is an additional right hand side environment of an ach then this shar is not reduplicated this shar is not substituted by its reduplicated utterance this is a negation once again. Then let us proceed further and study this next sutra 3 prabhrutishu shakatayanasya this sutra has got two words 3 prabhrutishu which is 7 slash 3 of 3 prabhruti 3 prabhruti means 3 onwards 3 prabhrutishu means in 3 onwards shakatayanasya 6 slash 1 of shakatayanas this means in view of words continued are dwe and na and so the meaning of this particular sutra is in the view of shakatayanas which is a name of a grammarian in the view of shakatayanas in a cluster of 3 onwards sounds the reduplication does not take place the substitution in the form of reduplication does not happen for example in raha in raha we have e followed by na followed by the followed by r and then above all now we have na, the and r 3 consonants now in this case this na is not reduplicated this is not substituted by its reduplication see this e is n h followed by na which is a year followed by the which is an anach so anachi ch would substitute this na by its reduplication but now in view of shakatayanas this does not happen so we get the form in raha as written over here similarly rastram here we have a followed by sure followed by to followed by r so sure to r these are the 3 consonants coming together without any vowel in between now according to the view of shakatayanas sure is not substituted by its reduplication primarily because there are 3 consonants coming together probably this also reflects the limitation a human being can be said to have in uttering consonants continuously next we have the sutra sarvatra shakalya seer which is a very important sutra 8451 this sutra has got two words sarvatra and shakalya seer sarvatra means everywhere shakalya says 6 1 of shakalya which means in view of shakalya the way and na are continued and so the meaning of the sutra is in view of shakalya reduplication does not occur anywhere there is no reduplication at all so for example arkhaha according to shakalya there is no reduplication according to shakalya in brahma there is no reduplication in dadyatra as well according to shakalya there is no reduplication finally we have dirghad acharyanam 8452 this sutra has got two padas dirghad and acharyanam dirghad is 5 slash 1 of dirgh means along vowel so dirghad means immediately after a long vowel acharyanam is 6 slash 3 of acharya in view of teachers the way and na are continued so the meaning of the sutra is in view of some teachers reduplication substitution does not happen after a long vowel so we have examples patram and dhatram where we have pa having the vowel a which is a long vowel followed by th followed by r so this is ach plus th that is here plus r that is anach and so anachicha can apply over here but according to this particular sutra there is no reduplication that happens in this particular environment dirghad vowel coming before similarly sutram there is this long u followed by th followed by r so long u is ach followed by th which is a year followed by r which is an anach so anachicha would apply over here but 8452 says that after a long vowel there is no reduplication substitution that takes place after having studied the sutras let us also study a vartika which is stated by the vartika and this vartika notes term a view of one of the grammarians called paushkar asadi so vartika is chayod vitiya shari paushkar asade hey so this particular vartika has got four chayaha vitiya shari and paushkar asade hey chayaha is 6 slash 1 of chai chai stands for consonant 1 class 1 ch t t p p and k shari is 7 slash 1 of shari that is sure sure and sir so shari means immediately before vitiya is 1 slash 3 of vitiya second of the class consonants and paushkar asade hey is 6 slash 1 of paushkar asadi which is the name of the acharya or the teacher so the meaning of this vartika is in view of paushkar asadi immediately before sure chai is substituted by the second of the class consonants so we have chai plus shari and this chai is substituted by kh plus shari kh being a pratyahara that is formed by the consonant kh and the vowel er which is specially designed for the purpose of this particular pratyahara otherwise there is no mechanism in the pratyahara sutras stated by panimi at the beginning of his astadhyay to denote the second class consonants so this pratyahara can be invented in order to denote the second class consonants and so we use kh over here one more thing we will have to do we will have to say that er is also nasal in this particular pratyahara so the examples are what sir where we have v followed by th and then sir now because this sir is a shar this th is optionally substituted by the second of its class that is th so we have what sir optionally then we have kshira in which there is ker and shar and this ker now is substituted by ker so we have kshira apsaraha where this sir is preceded by pr which is a chai so this is substituted optionally by the second of its class namely pr apsaraha to summarize consonant reduplication is an optional phenomenon in many of the environments except in one case meaning is not taken as an input in the process of reduplication of consonants some reduplications are bound by two left hand side environments and also at the same time by one right hand side environment this reduplication is described at the fag end of the ashtadhyay which indicates that the output of this reduplication does not become input for any other rules this is the description of the dvir vachana sandhi that we have finished today next we study the agama sandhi thank you for your attention


Hello friends, I am Sanjay Gupta. In this video, I am going to demonstrate you how you can find out maximum and minimum element from diagonal of a matrix by passing 2D array into function. Before starting, you can note my information. You can follow or subscribe my YouTube channel through the URL youtube.com slash sanjaygupta underscore tech school. You can download my programming app Tagmiss which is available on Google Play. Now I am going to implement the solution of this problem with the help of C programming. So first time including a header file that is STDIO.h then I am declaring two functions. First one is maximum. So this function declaration is for maximum function. Its return type is integer and it will receive an argument of integer type and that argument will be integer 2D array and its dimension is 3 by 3. Now I am declaring second function that is minimum. This is function declaration. Now I am defining main function. Inside main function, I am declaring a 2D array then IJ variables and then M. Now with the help of printf, I am going to display a message. Enter elements on console. Now to receive elements, first time implementing I loop followed by J. So this is the combination of nested loop. So to receive elements of 2D array, I have to use nested loops and these nested loops will be repeating scanf statement so that elements of matrix can be stored inside a 2D array. Now first time calling maximum function. So this statement is function calling. The result will be received inside m variable. So I can print it on console using printf statement. Now I am calling second function that is minimum. The result will be received inside m variable. So I can print the minimum. So this way I have implemented the main function. Now first I have to define maximum function and then minimum. So I am implementing definition of maximum. So this will be function definition. Inside this function definition, I am declaring 3 variables. After declaration of variables, I am again implementing nested loops inside this function. First loop is I which will provide row indexes. Second loop is J which will provide column indexes. Now inside this loop, I am implementing if I w equals to J. So this is the diagonal condition. If I is equals to J and aij is greater than m. So now you can see the condition. If i and j both are equal, then only they are pointing to the diagonal element. If this first condition is true, then second aij greater than m will be checked. If second condition is also true, it means the element is on diagonal position and it is greater than m. Then we can assign aij into m variable. So this way I am finding out maximum from the diagonal element and this diagonal is main diagonal or you can say major diagonal. So after completion of this loop, I can return value of m. So this is the complete definition of maximum function. Now I am copying this code and I am pasting it. So this definition will be for minimum. Here I am assigning 32767 and a of i j less than m. So now this code is for calculating minimum. So here you can see two definitions are available. The first one is maximum and second one is minimum and both are checking maximum and minimum, which are available on diagonal position. So now I am executing this code. I am entering the elements and you can see the output diagonal elements are 159. So maximum is 9 and minimum is 1. So the program is working properly. Now let's check it again. So this time I am entering different values. You can see the output six is the maximum and three is the minimum and diagonal elements are four, six and three. So this way you can see program is working properly in both the cases and you can check it for another matrix also. So here I have passed two d i into function. I have implemented two functions maximum and minimum and both are working on only diagonal elements. So this way I hope you have understood the logic behind this problem, which I have demonstrated you in this video.
