The students also don't lose their academic year. So last year, there were some measurements of open book examinations, online examinations were made. But this year, we are going to have a control examinations to give you. And the kind of problems that we have been facing because of that. But we are going to have it offline as well. And we are having the online confidence of multiple choice questions. Yeah, multiple choice questions. So how will you control the changes and the practices? Because the pattern is different. Different types of questions. Though students are sitting in the same room and you can watch. Yeah, CCTV. You can monitor. There has to be proctodic examination. So that is there. There has to be proctodic examination. And we are not going to have examination centers in all the study centers. Only select few. Select few. Select few. Where all arrangements are made. For care and rest thing. Care and contact of the examination. Do we have the flexibility of allowing these students who are pursuing some regular course? Yes. Are they taking and are they going in this course? Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. They can have no two degree programs. But they can for one certificate. One degree. One degree. All right sir? Okay. So research innovations extension. We are publishing with the analysis of open learning and research communication. And mostly our resources are systemic research about the ODL component. And the faculty members are having resources in their own respective academic expertise also. And research methodology course is there in several programs. Research courses are carried out by the faculty members. We have submitted the particulars. UNICEF, SAMHCA, Assum State Management Authority, UNICEF also. And we are having a well defined research policy for functional research. Though we are an open university. We are awarding PhD degree. There was some problems in till I suppose 2015. There was some problems. After 2015, the UNICEF allowed us to offer ample PhD program on regular mode. And since then we have been operating on regular mode. That has to be on regular mode. You have to remove the PhD. Ampli PhD. Ampli PhD. From 21 it's removed. Yeah. So next year, next year, yes. But 21. Yeah. So well defined research, minor research projects are here. That has to be on regular mode. Only Ampli PhD. Okay. Only Ampli PhD. Supposedly on... Distance of distance education comes here. Yeah. Distance education is full of... Of UGC. Of UGC. Earlier that was distance education comes here. Because we were also doing this correspondence and all the education and the course. Yes. Okay. Distance of the distance education comes here. Right. So, yeah. So we are having some PhD degrees. Then regulations are more or less. Academic integrity depends on our library and we'll brief you. Okay. That's what we are trying to be strong on. Collaborative activities. We are having collaborations with NSU, WHOLE, SEMPA, ACN Association of Penn Universities. In fact, this vision document, which was prepared in 2015, as a follow-up of this, we borrowed a quality assurance framework of ACN Association of Penn Universities. And that part I'm going to show as part of our visionary... Right. ...that we are trying to visualize ourselves.  And this was basically in consultation with the framework of ACN Association of Penn Universities. Then NIR, DPR, and National Institute of Global Development, which I think is quite close by our university. But again, a collaboration with them also. How many countries are the members? ACN Association of Penn University. It will be about 10 to 11. Sir, there are more than 15. More than 15. Yeah. There are 18 ACN Pacific countries. Normally in that aligned way. So, more than 15. Innoventions, learner mentoring system. That's because of the COVID. We learned this lesson. Our faculty members are mentoring the learners. Learners started 2020. Single-Indo student demands students themselves. Online ticket is issued. Online follow-up. Online information. Mobile alert. Online complex handling system. T-Wall. What is T-Wall? T-Wall is basically web digitally, repository. And in our website, because we are having, because Assam is having an advantage of T. So, T-Wall is basically, in fact, we're designed to offer a move on all about T. The move was supposed to be on all about T. So, keeping that in view, that ANIS officer also would like to know about T. So, in order to apply that, all about T, in a kind of move we planned. But we moved back, the COVID also emerged, but the repository that was developed in the process, and some videos were also developed. So, all those things we have put in this T-Wall. So, it's basically all about T. It's targeted to any person on the street. Even an enlightened person, an highly educated person, also can get benefit from the T-Wall. And anyone, the only thing is that it is put in English. Move the issue. Move we are going to launch. Move we are going to launch on all about T. And keeping that in view, we prepared all these things. But somehow, because of the COVID, it's still on our plan. We're going to do it. But you can have a look at your leisure time. You can apply yourself, educate yourself about some T. And the T-Wall, in our website only, you'll be able to find the T-Wall. We work on a sub-T also. You'll definitely be able to... Do you have any examinations? No, no, no. We're having a certificate course. You have a certificate course. We have a certificate course. On the T? On T. On small T plantations. Okay. All right. So T-Wall, mobile application, then 360 degree feedback mechanism. In fact, we boast ourselves that after this UTC regulation 2017, we had this system of Centre for Internet Quality Students. And SICA developed an action plan to have feedback from all the stakeholders. Though we are claiming it to be 360 degree mechanism feedback, but in one of our academic program, it was pointed out that it cannot fully claim it's 360 degree. Because you... Is there a restricted to feedback mechanism? Yes. It involves the performance, not performance, basically the satisfaction of the employees. That is the feedback collected. And that performance feedback is an administrative mechanism. But from SICA, only to... Although we are claiming it 360, that parents' feedback and employers' feedback. These we have not taken so far, because our learner profile is different. Some of the learners, they themselves are parents. And employers' feedback, because 15% of our learners are employed. So those two we are planning in this SICA action plan. Then possibly... But it's a continual exercise. You will have to keep on doing it. Then extension activities, we are having high data, the damasas which were given to you at the time of your arrival. That was overrun by the weavers of our adopted villages. We are having five villages adopted. We are having some situ scope also in the situ. Tomorrow. We are visiting SICA. So then adopted villages, then relief activities like new skill training, socio-concept, industrialism, these are different activities we are doing. But most... You know all adopted villages? Yes, you know all adopted villages. And in fact, we are having some training programs from the participants or from the adopted villages only. Two programs last year we organized, one was on computer training, the other one was on electrical fittings, wading, etc. That is the female. Okay. Female. This one. This is the female activity. Yeah. But here I would like to give you a glimpse of this one. Yes. Video. This one. The mouse is not moving. Okay, okay. No sir, this is too many videos. This is too much sir. This is the male activity of our university. We would like to posit it. Children are the future of the nation. The mental and physical health of a child guaranteed the strength of the nation in days to come. When developed children literature reduces the sense of satisfaction and allows us to utilize the prosperity of the region. The Prishna Kajamadeva State School of the University has decided to preserve a range of books covering formative year children literature up to the year 2008. In this process of preservation, the university has produced 41 volumes of as per its children literature, each comprising around 1000 pages under the title of Ukiho Haritagohar. The university has been able to collect any deal around 2000 books from different parts of the state. Prishna Kajamadeva State School of the University under its philosophy of social responsibility strongly believes that it may take measures to preserve and promote children literature of a region of the future generations. The course of the prominent as in its writers including the great Meshava Saint Okadeva has contributed substantially to inspire imagination in these young and nascent minds. Even today, we find stories created in the world of Prishnava and Veshnava era of the medieval times are admired by children of all sections of the society. It is expected that the future generation including the researchers and leaders will be greatly benefited from this treasure house of children literature between as a nation. Thank you, sir. This is the government patronage also? Yes, sir. He likes the idea of a YouTube channel. You have all likes. All the Indian likes out there. You have to like all the Greek stuff. Yes, yes. Okay, sir. No, all the Indian history. Indian history? No. Children. The medieval history of the 2000 AD. Okay, okay. So, this city of is ongoing construction but as I told you at the beginning may be by today. We are going to see. We are going to see. This also you will be able to see all that. Okay. Here I would like to give the honorable members about this. Before this, we were in fact in the SSR initially we submitted from we are operating from two campuses. Once a set of rented buildings in the house bed area in Guwahati only. That would be about 4 or 5 from this place. Then we made a shift here and at the time of submission of SSR we submitted the particulars from this probably geotec photos. But we are having a permanent campus in Rani a place and that's what we have made the schedule also for your visit. Then you will be able to see. In this campus we have that was our headquarter till last year. Now that because of the operational and all this we have been functioning from here but we have some big plan for this campus allotted us 62 big hours of land here in this area. We are having some functional offices here. This office is their registered office there. Plus we are going to have the skill development channel fully functional and this is a forest area so there are lots of problems in construction. So we are going to make it a technical cell have. It's an integrated project is there and that's how you will be able to see for yourself about the running campus. Then as I told you we are having only one regional center that is in Zohar and this is also operating from rented premises as of now. But in Zohar also the university has its own land or own land of one with a one quarter and 13 less and the building plans are ready after this we will be taking some projects in development of Zohar and not only this one we are having plans to develop all more regional centers. Government of Assam has allotted us 2 plus of land in Bangai now. One is not looking for districts. One in southern Assam we are going to establish one regional center so that you can develop a regional center network. So basics as you all know how can we establish the integration between academic support and non-academic support. Governance management leadership in criteria 6 Board of management, finance committee, SICA committee, academic council, school of studies, planning committee, basic essence. In addition to this we are having other committees also sorry process committee, tender committee research council, academic committee and regularly all the meetings of all these committees are here. That is important to say that we have either number of board meetings, number of academic council meetings. Literally once in a quarter normally we have the meetings of all the committees. Policies, criteria 6 we are doing these policies performance of present policy, code of ethics, consultancy policy, OER policy some other policies and highly functional. Some other policies we have not been able to make much same book but that is in our agenda. Financial aspects for the benefit of information of the honorable members in the NAC SSR we are asked to submit particulars of one preceding year because last year was 2019-20. The preceding year was 2018-19 so we submitted these particulars and this is indicative the expenses are in 2018-19 academic expenses was 56% administrative expenses was 44%. This increase slightly in 2018-19 19-20 it will be more because of the ongoing construction activities. This year and the next financial year also it will be more but after that we will be able to stabilize it after the construction of this but the important part is academic expenses still we have been able to spend more than 50%. And now how to the receipt part fees constitute about 72% of our revenue. Then grants in 8 that is a developmental grant from government of Assam is 2%. Shalali component being bought by government of Assam that's about 8%. And other income fixed deposit and some other revenue all these things is all about. The plan and not fix are not the financial health of the university. Strategic plan and development so that physical facilities that I am all this you have already seen it. Revision of fee increase in employment, revenue advancement, the future plans purpose fund we have created in order to ensure financial stability. These aspects we have been taking care of. Based practices in fact we have shown this in the last few years because not in this state to show three practices we have updated for this. So we supported our game in terms of these aspects. Accountability regular meeting of state as I have just now stated. Transparency monitoring and evaluation, online admission, online this. Reversed racial ticketing issue and information are made available in public domain. These are the. Yes. Can you name any one which is not there in any other university? That distinctiveness part we are going to address separately. But these are all there. Yes. Uniqueness of the university which is not regular practice. Even that is what even during that nowadays has become a part of a particular department mentor, mentee system has become a part. Yes. So this being an orial system according to me there are many opportunities just by taking that reaching the unreach. That fall out when you and best example this thing to show. This is the identity of our university who have added value according to you. Thank you. Next. So distinctiveness our distinctiveness modern infrastructure that's how in NAP also because in 2020 we became confident that we will be able to come up with this modern infrastructure by 21-22. And this is presented as a distinctive presentation into remote areas that's now stated is a one distinctive area. E-governance E office is there and all this. ICT based support social responsibility that ISR. Name 2 ISR social responsibility Institute we talk about social responsibility from a corporate sector institute institute is such what are your responsibilities towards that community society this one is we have to be socially responsible we have to reach the unreach spreading education That is why that the university is established. That is a generative one. That's a generative one. My question is what is the again the distinctiveness of being a responsible institution in that meeting the needs of the society uniqueness it is there are responsibilities of this thing We education to Zeg in match one distinctive piece because the other institutions cannot make an entry into that Zeg our university Zeg Central Zeg that matter you take all your 15 open universities they conduct exams in Zeg Yes our open universities they conduct exams in Zeg and all these things yours being a only university in the state open students learning this thing so you have opportunity you are a piece of advice all our institutions parties you have many advantages to exemplary knowledge what is revised that today higher education should stand for innovation and excellence give a task like any industry gives task like that and then suggestions like that you give this thing to your colleagues that you suggest that innovate in this thing let them study that national education policy in total all 486 pages and also the 64 that will pages and cut out something what is that otherwise that relevant to this distance mode apply as a unique way of that reaching the unreached would definitely achieve a very good dividend not now next cycle that your university is going to be a power excellence university we can reach out to the orphans you can select that constituency that would be distinctive future thank you so much thank you so much so this already we have submitted in the you have yourself been able to what would be our stance what would be the assignments and in fact stated about the opportunities emerging opportunities these are the things in fact we have submitted all these particulars in our SSR also that please go ahead so we are forward you have another 5 minutes yeah okay meeting challenges of NEP skill-based, professional, technical all these NEP has not that posed any challenges to anybody it is very light but at the same time tight that is very very simple it is a friendly gesture okay so regional center network automation in all processes these are our future and this time bound roadmap honorable information, honorable members as I have been telling you 2015 and we are being guided by this and we sought help of the asian association of open universities, NAT manual and a toolkit developed by SEMTA commonwealth educational media center based on this tree we have prepared because in our last to last meeting of board of management it was decided that we should have a strategic review of our decision document and all these things in our last meeting of SICA committee also we discussed a strategic action plan just like to honorable members please this is how we are going to see ourselves in the coming although you may ask that how would you see yourself in the coming next 10 years but we have not been able to make it up to next 10 years but still 2026 we have been based on these three frameworks SEMTA wanted us that what is your vision of the university so this is what we would like to see ourselves and these are tangible things and this is quite comprehensive you can see this is a new one this is a unique message we can see please have a look at this but the basic outcome the tangible outcome of this entire this is how we time bound roadmap that 2021 we want to create a model study center for all the study centers in our city campus you will be able to see in 8 floors of this building 2022 we are having this fully functional modern infrastructure then auditorium and seminar hall we are trying to have it in a phase manner 2024 2025 and we are having the runny campus agricultural hub then in the runny campus staff quarters because there is an embargo on construction of big buildings so we are going to make some environment friendly quarters there full automation of the examination process because we are gathering lakhs of learners thousands of learners so going by all these things if we can adopt a mechanism like Jyotsavantarao Sabwan University of Maharashtra they contact examinations lakhs of students and declare the results within a month because provide of our learners are different so we are thriving for that and this is how we would like to see ourselves in future so we are having this kind of recognition and then for the information of the members in 2013 we got this prestigious award of commonwealth of running award of excellence for an institutional achievement in distance education and only two of them is that I was so called small university but trying to be big trying to have a very big presence that's what we are trying to do and make a meditation maybe we are looking for hope to merge the head and on the part of excellence with this I would like to thank you for the members so if you are allowing that you are a vision document I call it as a vision document and I mean it yes that is the answer I think that goes with national education this isn't you are not touched upon that with GER GER is the answer GER is the focal point of that is an advertisement that is the main matter this part very good presentation yes thank you so much

Hello, everyone. My name is Chris Kang. I am a specialist solutions architect at Red Hat. Today, we're going to demonstrate a Play-Go software pipeline on Azure Red Hat OpenShift, and we'll trigger that pipeline using a GitHub action. The first thing we'll need for our demonstration is a Azure Red Hat OpenShift cluster. You can see here in my Azure console that I've already gone ahead and deployed an Azure Red Hat OpenShift cluster. If we click on that cluster, you can see more information about this, such as the location where it's running in US East, as well as the version of OpenShift that's running. In this case, it's 4.5. In order to deploy the Play-Go software factory, we need to enable the Play-Go software factory operator. So the first step is to actually add this catalog source. You can find this under the operator documentation, and this will make the operator available in our operator hub in the cluster. I've already gone ahead and applied this against the cluster. Next, we'll navigate to the OpenShift console. As you can see here, I've logged in under the Kubernetes administrator account, and now we're going to go ahead and deploy the software factory operator. First, we'll create a new project. We'll call this DevSecOps. Next, we'll navigate to operator hub, and if you scroll down to the bottom left, under provider type, you'll see Red Hat, North America Public Sector Community Operators. This is the catalog source that I applied to the cluster. If you select this provider type, you'll find the Play-Go software factory operator made available to the cluster. Let's go ahead and install this operator. We'll install this in the DevSecOps project that we just created. Now we'll install this operator, and we'll take a short break and come back after this operator is installed. Okay, the Play-Go software factory operator has been installed, and the next step is to deploy the Trusted Software Supply Chain platform. We'll go ahead and select the platform API, and we'll create an instance of the platform. If you look at the YAML view, you'll see that Jenkins is the underlying CI tool for the platform. We'll keep the defaults and create this platform, and it'll take about 10 minutes, so we'll take another short break and return after the platform has completely installed. Okay, the Play-Go's Trusted Software Supply Chain platform has been installed. If we navigate to workload pods, you can see the various pods of the components that have been installed as part of that platform. And another place to get a really good overview of these components is under networking routes, where you can find the externally accessible URLs of the various components within the platform. Now the two that we're gonna focus on in this demo today, one is GitT. GitT is a local Git repository that will host our source code locally within the OpenShift cluster. And the second is Jenkins. So Jenkins again is a CI tool that will orchestrate our Trusted Software Supply Chain pipeline. Now before we deploy our sample pipeline, we need to give our pipeline the location of our source code application. So the source code that we'll use today is housed in my local GitHub repository. This is a reference application built on top of the corkis runtime. So navigate to the command line interface. I've gone ahead and constructed this pipeline in YAML format. And as you can see in this YAML, I have specified my GitHub repository as the source URL of the location of the source code of this reference application. Now I can apply this pipeline and I've already deployed this pipeline before, so it's been configured. If I navigate to my OpenShift console, the pipeline already exists and has been configured. Now when the pipeline is configured, the first step that it does is it clones my GitHub repository, which is this source code here, and it'll clone that into a local GitT repository that sits inside of the OpenShift cluster. So if you go to networking routes, we'll navigate to GitT, and you can see a local copy of that source code existing within our GitT instance, hosting that exact same source code. In addition to this, the trusted software supply chain pipeline automatically configures a webhook so that every time a change is pushed into our local GitT repository, it will trigger the software pipeline using Jenkins. So now we wanna trigger this webhook in this pipeline, but we wanna do it from our GitHub repository. So in our GitHub repository, we're gonna use a GitHub action. That GitHub action can be found in this YAML file. And what this basically says is every time a change is made within my GitHub repository, I want that change propagated down to my local GitT instance, which then triggers the software pipeline. So if I go ahead and navigate back to my command line interface, I'm gonna go ahead and commit that change, that GitHub action into my source code repository. Now once I push that change to GitHub, I should see a GitHub action get triggered to mirror that change down to my GitT repository. So I'll navigate to my user interface, and we'll go ahead and take a look at my GitHub repository and under actions, we should see that commit and that is triggered a new GitHub action. And we'll wait here for a couple of seconds where it'll clone the change that's been made and push that down to our GitT instance. Okay, so the GitHub action has successfully executed. And if we go back to GitT, we can see that same commit has been propagated down to our GitT repository. And in turn, this change has now triggered our software pipeline in Jenkins. So we go to networking routes, navigate to Jenkins. Under platform, we see that a new build is now in progress.  So we'll take a short break and come back as soon as this pipeline is complete. The pipeline has now been complete. And you can see here in the second pipeline that has gone through that entire pipeline and deployed our artifacts into both a test environment as well as a production environment. So we'll navigate back to the OpenShift console and let's access that new application that was deployed. So if we go into our list of projects, if we scroll down, we'll see our reference application being deployed in separate projects, one for test and one for production. If we go into our production project, we'll see that we have one deployment. Deployment references the new reference application that was deployed. In order to access this, we'll go again to networking routes, copy this URL. If we look at the fruits HTML page, we'll now see that the reference application has successfully deployed. That concludes our demonstration of the Poligo software pipeline on Azure Red Hat OpenShift cluster using GitHub Actions. Thanks for watching.


Stevenson falls to Wyner Day at Owings Mills Gymnasium. Glenn Clark with head coach, Garrett Stewart. Coach, I know this did not go the way that you wanted to do. How much of it was stuff that you guys did wrong versus them being a veteran team that did a lot of things wrong?  We just could never get a tourniquet on it. I felt like every single possession we were chasing, chasing, we couldn't get the ball under control. And so now we're chasing the ball. And they do a very good job of finding the open guy, regardless of who it is. And we paid dearly for that today.  You know, we saw that a couple of times today. They would run an efficient offense, and then, you know, you get a rebound and they were right back to defending two seconds later. How much of that was a lesson to your team of, like, this is what it takes to play 40 minutes of basketball? Well, I think they are very astute and aware of what needs to get done. I think the question, Glenn, is, can you get it done? You know, knowing what to do is one thing. And doing it is a different thing. And again, I credit Wyner. You know, what I saw out there today is some old dudes, some grown men. And we didn't handle the physicality of the game very well. And conversely, they continued to put bodies on us and get physical with us. And it was to our detriment. Coach, we'll have the camera pan down and see that you've got your sneakers on today. I know with coaches versus cancer, it's suits and sneakers. We can you walk me through why this is so important to you and what the idea is of suits and sneakers? Well, you don't have to even go any farther than that. You're amazing at the start of the game. And Conor Lavori is just a terrific student. I mean, Wyner was the conference most valuable player. He graduated and then coached with Chris Carrillo. To lose a young man like that so early to cancer, it's just devastating. I mean, it really is. I mean, a little bit of emotion. Just think about it, you know. And again, I started off saying he was a terrific guy. But to anybody that is triggered by cancer, it's not only that individual. It's the people who love him and care about him, family and friends. Such a devastating, devastating diagnosis. And we're going to continue to work. There's a whole lot of folks that are pouring in everything they can to ultimately find a cure for what is incredibly disease. We, of course, send our thoughts and our prayers to everybody and the Wyner family. I echo this sentence, unfathomable. To lose Conor Lavori, it's such a young age. Reminds you that we keep things in perspective. Obviously, coaches, there are things far more important than basketball games. We will see you back down here on Wednesday night. Thank you. Always take the time for it. Thank you, Glenn. It's Gary Stewart. I'm Glenn Clark. Go MustangSports.tv.


Hi guys this is Susham, your anti-racism officer and this video is about what Black History Month means to me. Black History Month is primarily about connecting, it's about connecting with ourselves and with our friends and family and with our heritage and our history and our culture. Black History Month also has a really really really important space for healing, for taking care of our mind, our mental health and our bodies, for seeking out intergenerational exchange, trading stories and sharing our histories and remembering the struggle of those that came before us without whose strength we wouldn't be here today. I think I feel during this month emboldened to express and share who I am in new and creative ways to really think about what self-determination means and how I reclaim myself and how we reclaim ourselves from narratives that we didn't write or previously shout out from and within that I think it's important to remember those most vulnerable members of our community, for example Black queer folk or Black trans women who are experiencing an increase in violence and precariousness against their bodies and against their lives and so we must see that in order to heal we have to get past just surviving, we have to be given that chance and the best way to empower those people, the best way to empower our communities is to unlearn the harm we do to ourselves in our thinking and in the limiting of ourselves. I think I will end on the fact that Black History Month has to be a really important time for non-Black people also, we've seen an incredible engagement with the Black Lives Matter movement over the past few months and that's really encouraging but also we need to remember that our activism, our engagement doesn't stop with just posting a Black square and so Black History Month is also about unlearning and learning and reassessing our relationships of Blackness and to Black culture and to take the thousands of resources, all the new that are out there, the events, the films, screenings, the talks, the tours, taking all of these resources and taking them forward to do the real internal work and to create those better relations in our own minds. So I think I just want to end on the fact that Black History Month is a real chance to see Black people, Black lives, Black bodies centred and celebrated and elevated and uplifted and I think it's really important that we find the joy in all of those moments, we find the joy in our history, we find the joy in the movement and in the struggle and that's really important for me during Black History Month.


TLO what's poppin We are on kick KICK dot We are live about the time you see this we won't be so just leave a like comment subscribe turn on your post notification bells Let's continue to go to family for Chicago to the UK This if we go live and you happen to miss it.

Why don't they just turn it into an apartment building? like a like a like Make real units out of all of these places Like that would be the smart thing to do like it's already set up for like rooms You might as well make a little hotel or something Okay, okay, okay You're all right.

Good morning Yeah, we just need to check obviously we need to check all the rooms and I'm afraid of being evicted Sorry about that, so you can start getting your stuff together That's fine Everybody okay, just so you know that we have to do this today We just want to do it as nice as we can I want to say this is messed up, but it's not like y'all squatting We're gonna y'all find a place, you know if it like nobody was in there All y'all had to do is keep it quiet keep it cool and y'all could have laid there probably for a little like some more months But y'all throwing parties and that's why y'all ain't got no crib in the first place y'all probably got two out try Regular crib were throwing these parties y'all throwing whole y'all good y'all wild On the residential we have a policy of giving people an air or so to remove their personal belongings In a squat it has to be scaled up because everybody's got mattresses chairs tables and other paraphernalia In probably 20 or 30 different rooms. They understand the situation. They've got to leave today And they're gradually getting their selves their belongings their animals together The crazy thing is they probably have been through this process multiple times, so they know what's up, man They'd be knowing what's up when it's time And we're starting at the top and gradually work our way down and just flush them out I heard the parties on the weekend are quite good Excess of 200 people on the weekends We've got our own bar DJ box It's all set up. It's well set up at the end of the day the amount of damage in there for the landlord We're talking maybe a hundred thousand plus damage Every wall's got a bit of graffiti every wall's got a bit of damage Electrodores are broken a 60,000 pound lifts broken You never know it's gonna happen again if they can find a way in They'll find a way in I believe the landlord is now actually going to put security in the building to hopefully prevent that so We're really done once they're out the building. We're done and it's then down to him to do his part Out on the street all the activity has alerted the attention of local residents It's a free party Everything everything You they're coming out of here like the stock market just crashing everybody lost a job That's good from here for you Three hours after the enforcement team arrived and the top floors of the building are clear What we're gonna do is we need to check just check all the cupboards open any cupboards that are open and then this floor can be Let me do that Just want the dogs running away Good luck legs From here on someone could be in here living instead of being on the streets We can't afford to have housing.

What are you? So what what can you take their quality of life? The debtors wife insists what you gonna take pictures that her husband has arranged for the debt to be paid off monthly following the county court judgment But Stuart and Ian's high court rate confirms.

You watch too many movies. Take a seat. No When something comes to the door and if it involves a partner or the friends or family People do get quite bad tempered. There's a little bit of patience with us because they didn't think that this would be coming To their doorstep These guys are saying that they're gonna take assets Yeah, right? What in the house? You should have opened the door to the number one They can't come in top They came They can sit here. They can wait for you husband last snook on his face. We'll go in a bit If you phone the police they will tell you that we are We are allowed to do exactly that Like says either payment or good will be removed. So either payment or the good will be removed. How's it gonna be difficult? Stuart's heard enough No, the police place. Yes I've been threatened with acts of violence should I remove goods within the community?  Should I start removing goods? I need police assistance to reach the police. I need someone here sharpish At the end of the day, he'd be standing like that Like nonchalant.  He's just punchable Allegedly you too, I don't condone I do have a question no for kick I'll ask it later The police have turned around and said that they've got no one they can send out to us now. No one no office Stewards aware that they may have to accept the wife's original offer of 500 pounds and set up a payment plan Yeah, buddy, sometimes you got to know when you look you can't take this beating Police can't even get to you Police can't even get to you. You're gonna be beat up before they even you know I'm saying That did not work got it. I don't go into somewhere I think you know I'll get 25% and then get the rest on three weeks terms It doesn't happen like that. I'm there to get the full amount if not the next best option, which could be a payment plan Another friend arrives to talk the family through their options Yeah The friend helped the debtor fill out the original County Court forms Arranging for the debt to be paid off monthly But it turns out they were not returned in time The letter about percent was it late? Yeah, how many days? I don't know. How do you know it was late?  What's the best situation Okay On our way boy quiet now that 500 pounds is the best offer. They'll get I am never seen them ever settled for less than what they You know I'm saying less than half Stuart calls the office to arrange a plan with the claimant Suggests a hundred pounds a month to clear the remaining 2,300 pounds Right. They've exacted the 500 a hundred pounds month, which is a good sign And so let's go in get that arranged and signed and then we'll be on our way It's good for this gentleman to come down because this gentleman helped my brother will fill out some forms Now you call good because when he came down he says there's nothing you can do now when it comes from somebody Who's on your side saying there's nothing you can do Then straight away you start thinking in that The egos can go straight down and you can start saying, you know, there's nothing we can actually do now an Hour after Stuart and Ian arrived. They finally get their hands on some cash Anybody know how to go full strain. I'll kick. I thought it was like just in the corner or something you tap it Wait what I just had to take my six-year-old son's $20.

So what do you think you want to get five from me for? Hello We're from the High Court. We have an eviction order for this property Do you understand English? Is there somebody here who does? We always run up against language problems It's very stressful for them because they have someone banging on their door Shaking a piece of paper. They don't know who we are what we are And what authority we have The woman who's named on the writ fetches her husband Hello, sir. Yeah, we're high court enforcement officers. You speak English to you.

You can ring me and you and I can make an arrangement for you to come back here with a van Take the rest of the stuff. You're not gonna give the keys to the landlord. We've got the keys Okay The High Court writ also instructs Paul to collect the five thousand eight hundred pounds in unpaid That ain't happening You come I think I know I got myself in this situation, but you you won with the eviction, but you ain't getting this five Go ahead bank or a me shorty. You're not getting this fence and fees There isn't an amount of rent out Sunday. Have you got the money to pay that? The money is five thousand pounds in rent out standing.

Hello Now the landlord decided for whatever reason and I'm not party to that to change it to up to the high court Fine, thank you very much The solicitor the solicitor obviously wasn't aware He understands the high court The writ confirms the debt is outstanding I thought it's the solicitor accepts. Nothing can be done to prevent its enforcement. Yeah They said they've paid the the council have been paid the arrears So all this might have been so they under false information. They think they pay but they didn't that's tough So good necessary That'd be a tragedy wouldn't really it's a scenario Paul's seen before The landlord loses patience in waiting because he's fobbed off constantly by everybody So he applies for the eviction order in this case The lady from the social services said that the benefits Payments is now caught up and it has been paid We're not aware of that and the landlord obviously is not aware of that How do landlord not appear aware it hit his bank account Don't everybody your notifications when they get a direct deposit what the fuck?

I'll be noticed that it'd be a eight household family They put them in a two-bedroom like it. This is what we got We got something from there Heavily pregnant Abdi's wife heads to the housing office with the children and the council worker Everything out the enforcement team secure the flat Yeah, of course, I'm angry, but what can I do if I get anger? A smart man I know this is a tough situation man as the head of the household Like your only job as a man in life is to protect and provide for your family, you know, I'm saying and You feeling that both this has got to be a tough blow to the man who for any man You know I'm saying Better than now for real Like if this happened to me and I had to look my wife in the eye like Shit I might cry Like this is a tough blow for the ego for the ego for the man for everything I this is my one thing to do protect and to provide that's it Couldn't do it For Abdi his family and his unborn there go put the glasses on we know what's going on underneath them on baby The future is very uncertain A recent survey found that nearly 20% of apprentices are not being paid the wages. They are entitled to Many were earning less than the equivalent national minimum wage for their age Around a fifth. Oh y'all can see that high court enforcement agent Stuart McCracken and trainee Ian Taylor His name Stuart McCracken. I don't know why that's funny to me. I got real tears. That's crazy. They ain't even that funny He'd look like a Stuart McCracken Are in canvature They're here to collect a debt of over 9,000 pounds from the owner of a suit No, I'm terrified of them the two big The debt is for wages owed to a former apprentice Stuart and Ian's high court writ Means that if the debtor can't pay they have the power to remove goods to sell at auction to cover the death of the technical horses You're gonna be all right with all these horses Gonna have to be The boss wants to get this one doesn't he? vehicles everywhere The farm is a complex maze of outbuildings and driveways It's not clear which belong to the business There appear to be two properties on the farm the problem is Stuart and Ian don't know which is the debtor's home Hello, if they can't find the data or identify their home, they can't collect the debt Sort of a staff accommodation Still got a Christmas decorations up. I don't know if that's a good sign for anyone still lives here Hardest part of the job I reckon for me personally is not speaking to people Is putting in those hours and there's nobody there? Must be a house number or something and knowing that you're gonna have to report back to the office that you manage to speak to that person We can't confirm this address. We're not 100% sure that this house is linked to this address This could be our house and that could be our business there But we can't confirm it because we can't speak to anyone So what would this chat with the neighbors?  We've been here half an hour now. Um, there's been no sign of life anywhere Just because they're about to leave some people arrive Oh, that's funny There's just some crack and high court enforcement agent. They didn't just roll up more horses It's executor Ritz It turns out that one of them is the owner All right, um She got 45 horses 17 chickens 36 dogs a 12 acre greenhouse 12 properties on the land 50 acres, but don't got the money to pay bro The apprentice that's crazy If the debtor can't pay Stuart and Ian will have to seize any assets they can And that includes the horses To one horse to do it, right? How much is a horse? Hey, Siri How much is a horse? So by a horse you can expect to pay between 100 and 10,000 depending on the horses breed There you go one one horse, you know what I'm saying This horse don't got a lot of top here. You got a little might put a little extension. This might not be worth that much, but Oh, there you go. There you go. My bad I'm opening a restaurant. I still love the name. You don't remember the name. Of course. I remember the name. We didn't even tell any We all got some assets on the crop. That was a crazy range 100 to 10,000 So we'll just do a quick check and find out who's buying a hundred dollar horses Like come on now. That don't even that ain't even a real horse at that point They've already spotted a horse box and a car They'll be far easier to seize than the horses But Stuart and Ian can only take them if they belong to the debtor They do. Can someone do a HPI for me, please? A HPI check is very important because it not only doesn't secure the value of the vehicle But it also tells us who actually owns the vehicle because if it's on finance the defendant doesn't own the vehicle It's the finance company that has secured money on that vehicle So it is important that any asset that you do see You need to do a HPI check on it Both vehicles are free of finance so Stuart seizes them as security against the debt Look at this. Look at these load-downs All right, do I have a quick shout about the so-standing balance? Yeah, it's what the amount we've got was 9,450 pounds That's a high court rate Right Oh, okay, like I said, I knew she had some money and she could pay 4,500 right now at the drop of a dime That means she probably got like 15 put up or something like that 20 maybe and she can only give like a quarter of what she got put up Like I knew she had some money like come on now You're not living like this. I don't care what you say. You got bread Right 4,500 is enough Stuart McKenzie Take the 45 work out in the payment plan stop trying to get more like that's good And um and then pay the rest as a way I mean I can make a A box transfer, right, okay, right, okay When the defendant is offered to pay half the amount upfront It's great obviously because we're trying to get some cash Um, but you need to find out about the with regards to the other 50% of the outstanding balance because we need to explain To the claim and where's the rest of the money coming from and when is this going to be paid? Stuart calls the office Hi guys, it's uh, Stuart. You're all right. She said she can pay four and a half now and then pay the remaining amount Within 14 days and we have got assets to seize here. I just need to get confirmation of that agreement Speak to you in a second. Thank you 45 to pay now And then the rest within 14 days. Oh, yeah, she's getting money She's getting money What's the actual outstanding money for? It's a long story. Um, I um um Took on a young lady as a an apprentice. Yeah, and was paying her Um, what I thought was the right amount of money, which was the time it was Yeah, but after the second year it was supposed to go up to um You know national minimum wage. Yeah, and I didn't I didn't know well. Wow. It's okay. But unfortunately I'm my fault, but I deliberately haven't paid it. I've been wanting to wind them up.  You just deliberately withholding on some so on some ego ego type I would give you a hard time too. You owe me 10 bands You owe me 10 10 comma 000 I'm giving you the hardest of hardest times people Unalive for less, you know The office calls stewart back the claimants accepted the debtors offer But collecting the payment is easier said than done Okay It's probably been out in the sticks, isn't it? No signal from anywhere That's the biggest thing with technology. That's it for the wi-fi password That shipping pin machine is great. Isn't it? It makes our job so much easier But when you're in the country side like this, you get no signal. Oh Then the debtors card is declined Let's ring the bank. Yeah, you got to call the bank. You got to let them know you about the you know, a big little amount They don't think it's fraud That's an American Express No limit on that get them to authorize the payment and we can do a chip and pin. I've got one bar of signal. So let's see if it works Suspense just take your pen into that place I need some beer my bad Right, that's gone through. That's your card there. Just a quick scribble there just to confirm the arrangement remaining amount Okay, and that's it completed. Right. Thanks for everything. See you later It felt good to get that one knowing that it was not just unpaid wages to an apprentice But it all came down to a personal grudge with the apprentice's mother Now I think yeah, the high court fees will make a fee. That's one thing about women, man I ain't even gonna lie about y'all. Don't even cap right now if you on the chat Don't let them not cap. Y'all will hold a grudge Indulbitably y'all petty whatever do they it's not like again Onwards and upwards on to the next job The squatters have not returned the central London office ground The building remains empty. Okay. Okay The defendant whose family came together to sort out the debt continues to pay my installments. Okay, okay The stable owner has not set up the debt in her form. I knew it She got money stop it And what what building like how many bedrooms would they give Abby? All right, tlo leave a like comment subscribe turn on your post notifications. Enjoy your friday


The mysteries of Islam fascinate us time and time again. This is no different from the life story of the Prophet. Who was Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alihi wasallam? An illiterate dozen merchant who one day stumbled upon amazing Arabic rhetoric. Or was he the creation of Allah's greatest light, sent down to earth to pull man out of ignorance and bring them to the purest of truths? I Ali Burji am on a journey to discover the real story behind the Prophet, the real story behind our religion, the roots, the beginning, the cradle of civilization. We were discussing regarding the embargo, that difficult stressful time for Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, Bani Hashem and the followers, those little followers in the early days of Islam. So the Quraish, they're doing whatever they can to alienate Bani Hashem and the little followers of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam from the rest of the community and the trade world. So the Muslims are pretty much in a siege in their own homeland. So the Quraish as you've mentioned earlier are planning to kill the Prophet. They're organizing a conspiracy to get rid of the Holy Prophet, to assassinate him. And you've mentioned that the leaders, the chiefs of the tribes have all signed and agreed to the embargo and also to the eventually assassination of the Holy Prophet. If we can just discuss regarding the events of orchestrating all this. As I mentioned earlier that they wrote this document, which is referred to as the first accursed document and they placed it for safety in the Kaaba, inside the Kaaba. Of course, later on, this just between brackets, later on, we come across a second Saif al-Mal'una, the second accursed document. And that was done at the time when the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam and the Muslims in the last year, they came for Hajj and five of the companions, they swore an oath and recorded that oath in a document that if, when the Prophet dies or he is killed, then we will ensure that we take over the succession, take over the reign and not allow his Ahlul Bayt to succeed him. So where was this written? This was written in the time of Hajj when the Prophet came for Hajj al-Wadaa in the year 10 and then this was done. This is referred to, we'll come into that insha'Allah in the future but this is referred to as a second accursed document. This was also placed in the Kaaba. So the first accursed document, this was signed by, as I said, 40 or some people, some generations say 80 chiefs of the clans of Quraish and it was placed inside the Kaaba for safekeeping and their aim was to be united to nothing but kill the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala and because he is spreading this new religion and more and more people are embracing this religion and this is unacceptable to Quraish as far as they were concerned. How were they planning to assassinate?  In fact, when and because Bani Hashem were protecting him unfortunately Bani Hashem were main body which was protecting the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala and although there were other Muslims in Makkah but they weren't the target if you like the target was the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala and whoever was protecting him which was Bani Hashem and Bani Hashem says their narration says there were some who were Mu'mineen who believed in the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala and they were obviously obliged to protect him and they were still not Mu'min they didn't believe in the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala but because they were part of Bani Hashem they wanted to, as part of their duty being he is one of them they wanted to protect him as well so Bani Hashem became the target they were all surrounded in Sha'ab in the land of Abu Talib the valley of Abu Talib alaihi sallam and then Abu Talib decided because they were becoming very aggressive basically he kept even night vigil for the protection of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa ala and he had his sons and other members of Bani Hashem guarding the perimeter of various entry points to the Sha'ab to the plot of land even areas where there were like mountainous areas surrounding the plot of land he had people there, his sons and other members of Bani Hashem so they actually throughout the three years they were keeping night vigil to make sure that there is no infiltration, no assassination attempt and not only that when the Prophet used to sleep at one place at night he used to wake him up and after like two hours he would move him somewhere else and he would get his son to sleep in one case he asked his son Ali he said you come and sleep in place of your cousin and your Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi and he could go somewhere else and Imam Ali said to him okay I'll sleep here but I will be a target and I will be killed and Abu Talib responded to him that in a beautiful piece of poetry that everyone eventually dies in this world the essence of that poetry that everyone eventually dies in this world but it's good that one dies for someone as beloved as the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi he is the messenger of God and we have to protect him and it's the greatest honor that we give our life for him and if you don't do that you eventually will die but what better than dying for someone like the messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi and Imam Ali alaihi sallam responded that I'm not fearful of dying I just wanted to say that I'm prepared to die how obedient I am to you Imam Ali was saying to Abu Talib alaihi sallam and he of course stayed there so this is one instance but this was happening all along during these three years because they were very determined that they should not allow the Prophet to continue like this because he's gaining more grounds, more people not only in Makkah but overseas as well and happily this is happening so they were very determined to do that and Abu Talib alaihi sallam despite all the hardship you can imagine that lack of food there are reports where the people of Quraish they used to sit during the day and speak to one another by the Kaaba for example saying that did you hear last night we could hear the children of Bani Hashem crying and that doesn't bother them one bit although there are some reports that some objected they said there's not, right, there's not but the overwhelming majority were not bothered they said we're not going to give up on that we have to put the pressure so that Abu Talib gives us or Bani Hashem give us Muhammad so that we kill him so they were determined in the election how ironic, sorry to interrupt you but how ironic that Quraish how history repeats itself even now we see in the Hijaz how the Shia are being oppressed and the Haq is trying to hide the truth and oppress the followers of Ahlul Bayt al-Mussalam nothing, not much has changed since then subhanallah unfortunately subhanallah, yes yes, so this continued and you cannot exaggerate the suffering of Bani Hashem it's difficult to comprehend how hard it must have been so we take so many things for granted for three years this went on and not only they were suffering on the one hand hunger and thirst and continually on the other hand they had difficulty even buying the things they paid high prices for them all of this on one side and on the other side they have to keep the Prophet SAW and under the leadership of Abu Talib al-Salam and remember that not all of them had the sort of faith that Abu Talib had but he commanded the authority and therefore he managed to keep Bani Hashem together out of loyalty and out of faith loyalty for the tribe, for the clan of Bani Hashem and a faith of having faith in the Prophet SAW to protect the Prophet so they had two things one is extreme suffering in terms of hunger and thirst and so on and the other one was the fact that they had to day and night they had to protect the Prophet SAW were they preparing themselves for migration because we know eventually the Holy Prophet SAW prepares and migrates to Yathrib not at that stage at that stage they were so this is the first three years of the boycott and how many years in total the boycott lost it? three years so this is within the first three years this is the atmosphere in Mecca for the Muslims for Bani Hashem and the first early Muslims the last three years because they were free before that they were being harassed when the mission of the Prophet SAW began intensified there wasn't a lot especially when he hadn't gone public and he used to come and pray in the mosque in the Ka'bah by the Ka'bah and his wife Khadija and his cousin Imam Ali SAW and later on he was joined by Ja'far ibn Abi Talib so he was the third one to embrace Islam if you like that is Khadija, Imam Ali and Ja'far ibn Abi Talib afterwards and of course Hamza the uncle of the Prophet SAW so at that time they were free but when he went public that annoyed Quraish and the thing which really annoyed Quraish which they resorted to the boycott thing was the fact that he started to gain more and more supporters more and more started to embrace Islam even the slaves of Quraish started embracing Islam members of Quraish started embracing Islam so they weren't happy about this and when they saw what was happening in Abyssinia for example and delegations of priests and bishops they used to come and embrace Islam they found it too much to swallow and they decided to go on this embargo and as we know Khadija, Ali SAW and Abu Talib both died not very far from each other incidents are not very far from each other before we come to this if I may I'd like to when has this hardship continued the suffering continued and in fact it says that they got to a stage where Abu Talib ran out of money and say the Khadija and the money that they had other possession they ran out of that money as well and things were becoming extremely difficult when Jibrail, Ali SAW descended upon the Prophet SAW and he informed him of if you like the good news Jibrail, Ali SAW informed the Prophet SAW that document the accursed document which they had these 40 chiefs or 80 chiefs had signed which is the terms of treaty of the embargo agreement Jibrail informed the Prophet that termites have been sort of eating into this document and they've shredded the document and it's going to turn into small pieces and the only remnants which are left are where the name of Allah was written so it's a miracle if you like a miracle and then Abu Talib SAW was very pleased by this he said to Quraish let's go sorry he said to Bani Hashem let's go to Quraish and Quraish were sitting by the Kaaba and so Abu Talib came with the Prophet SAW and Bani Hashem they've come to surrender they've come to surrender Muhammad and to accept our terms and he spoke to Quraish and he said to them Abu Talib that he Muhammad tells me that his lord has informed that this document that you've signed is no longer it's a safe place in the Kaaba he said it's been torn to pieces it's been eaten by termites and the only thing which is remaining are where the names of Allah are there he said they said to him no this is not true he said well if this is true then that means Muhammad doesn't lie and he is supported by his lord by Allah SWT and then you are false and if this turns out to be not true and the document is still intact then I will surrender Muhammad to you to do whatever you like they said this is fair so if the document is intact Abu Talib will surrender Muhammad to the Quraish to kill him but on the other hand if the document is not and it's been destroyed by the termites there will be no harassment against Bani Hashem and they agree to that and they went took it out of the box and they realized they saw that exactly what Abu Talib had told them that the document is almost nonexistent given only shreds of small pieces of paper with the exception of wherever they had mentioned the name of Allah SWT this was a huge blow to Quraish and as a result of that when the people saw this a lot of people started gathering and one of the people actually heard about it later on it says for Islam a Yawm-e-Aidin A'lamun min al-Nas A'lamun min al-Nas a huge number of people embraced Islam because of this they could see the truth of the Prophet SAW and the Lord of the Prophet Allah SWT stands by the Prophet SAW and whatever Quraish was saying is not Did they fulfill the agreement of Quraish? Did they lift the Margo? They could feel safe because that was their agreement and they could feel safe to go back to Bani Hashem to go back to their houses So why would they migrate if now Quraish would let them be why would they plan to eventually migrate to Yathrib? This goes about the fact that when Abu Talib dies and say the Khadijah die they they passed away after the incident of the letter Yes After they if you like they went back to their homes and they left the she'ab The damage had already been done because they were left without money both Khadijah and Abu Talib A'lam they were both broke they had no money whatsoever I mean they had it's all in the hands of Allah SWT of course they yes they spent if you like it was their duty to do whatever it takes so that they keep their people alive and they addressed that and they made sure that people do not lose if you like faith and Alhamdulillah when this miracle came all of Bani Hashan were free to go back to their businesses and to their homes and properties and so on but when Abu Talib A'lam dies and and say the Khadijah also died within couple of months if you like Archangel Jupra'il descends on the Prophet and says that it's time for you to leave Makkah because you don't have you've lost your main supporters if you like this was the reason basically instruction from Allah SWT that he should he should leave for Madinah and of course there is a lot of there is some discussion which needs to be made which probably we don't have time now which need to be made as to the kind of preparation that the Prophet SAW made before the migration to Madinah so in here again Imam Ali A'lam faced imminent death basically killing by 40 warriors if you like Quraysh warriors and despite that he accepted the challenge and accepted that he would sacrifice himself for the safety of the Prophet SAW
