Hi there, welcome back to GameDev Academy. I'm Shane. Remember to sign the register down below as per usual and I'll flap the names up on screen, same as I'm doing here in the next video. This is our little ritual. I remember if you want your colour coded name tell me which house you're in. This is the third video I'm putting out this week. I'm trying to make up for being poorly and I'll get back on track for this exercise so that's happening.  So let's do it. Now that we have the ball being destroyed when it leaves the playfield we need to make it so that we can spawn a new one and that's actually really really easy to do so this step's going to be a short one it won't take as long to do it but we need to do it. It's short but important much like my P never mind. Right so the first thing I'm going to do is sort out the name of killzone because for some reason I just completely ditched my naming convention so we'll fix that first I'm just going to go rename and I'm going to call it bp underscore killzone. Bonus points if you were shouting no you're naming it wrong when I did that. There we go that's done right what we need to do now is go into bp ball let's open that up and the thing that's going to trigger the spawning of a new ball is when the last ball gets destroyed and there's actually an event for that so if I just right click and type destroyed you'll see that event destroyed pops up there it is lovely so basically what we're saying to Unreal Engine is as soon as this particular blueprint this ball gets destroyed we can spawn another one of them so what we're going to do is go to we need to get the player paddle I will show you why so let's just open the player paddle up and the reason that we're going into the player paddle is because it's the player paddle that has the spawn ball blueprint so we need to get the player paddle and then from here I'm going to type spawn um ball no what did I call it new ball is what I called it let's just double check yeah the customer event's called new ball that makes sense right so what we're saying is that whenever this gets destroyed run the new ball script in the player paddle blueprint and guess what that will do it'll give us a new ball so let's just comment that up um so new ball when one is destroyed yeah so we need to test it let's do that so compile save and into here so let's play so what I need to do first is launch the ball that's all still working jobs are good and then we'll let it flap around the level a little bit I need to move my paddle out the way and it works so now we could just play this forever until we destroy all the blocks and then well we could still keep playing it and that's that's all good so yeah a successful step well done everyone what we're going to be doing in the next step is starting to get it so that we can set these blocks up with different colors and have different scores so that then we can get the on-screen score displayed and start to edit into more of a game so stick around there's more classes coming and I hope to see you in them yeah I believe that quality education should be available to everybody and for that reason all of the classes at game dev academy are completely free and we're supported by our very generous school governors over at patreon if you'd like to become a game dev academy governor and support our work as well as helping us to steer the channel in the right direction then use the link in the description to be taken to the patreon page


All right, joining me now from the Los Angeles auto show is Dan Monk, Nissan's US senior vice president of sales marketing and operations. All right, Dan, good to see you. What should we expect from the Nissan, from Nissan's products at the auto show? Well, I tell you what, we're unveiling the new Nissan Kix, which is our gateway to our CUV lineup.  You can see it behind me here, and it offers technology that is a class above. Well, what kind of technology does it offer? Tell us about some of the features. Yeah, so under the umbrella of Nissan Intelligent Mobility, we think that cars need to be more than just pure machines, but actually personal assistants. So the technology on this vehicle are things like automatic emergency braking with predictive forward collision warning. It also has rear cross traffic alert and the amazing around view monitor. And that's just safety technology. We also have integration technology such as Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and we have a great Bose personal system. It actually has eight speakers, including two speakers in the driver head restraint. Yeah, the connected car really coming to life. Now, Nissan dealers are also rolling out an augmented reality experience tied to the new Star Wars movie. Can you explain this initiative? Oh, absolutely. And that's, you know, Star Wars and the partnership that we have with Star Wars we think is a great platform to showcase Nissan Intelligent Mobility. And so we partnered last year with Rogue One. It was a huge success. We're partnering this year as well with the last Jedi. We have seven stunt vehicles down here at the LA Auto Show that Lucasfilm artists designed and they were hand-built to showcase the partnership that we have. And the augmented reality will actually show consumers Nissan Intelligent Mobility live with augmented reality. Alright, now last month SUVs and pickup trucks, specifically the Armada SUV, saw a 100% increase in sales. Will SUVs stay strong in 2018? Yeah, you know, we continue to see a shift from cars to trucks. And Nissan, we've got such a strong SUV and crossover lineup. Our Rogue sales are up 24% calendar year to date. And you mentioned Armada and Titan, they've almost tripled their sales this calendar year. So we're very optimistic about our SUV and truck lineup. And congressional leaders are making progress on tax reform. Do you expect any money that consumers may save from this to go into the auto space? Well, we see the economy stable. All the indicators that we see show a stable economy. So we think 2018 is still going to be a good year for the auto. But tax reform presumably would help people be able to afford more cars potentially? Potentially, for sure. So that's an area that I think just adds to the stability that we see already. So we're optimistic about 2018. Alright, Dan Monk from Nissan joining us at the LA Auto Show. Dan, thanks very much.


I have with me some interesting set of creators across the tech space, the finance space. And in fact, when I was talking to all of them backstage, they all didn't think about content creation at the start of their career. In fact, it was something which happened by accident. So that's where we'll start our discussion on the very first note, talking to them about how content creation took place in their life. So welcome, Neha. Neha, I'm gonna start with you. We all know that you were thinking about becoming a CA. You had various attempts at that, and then you dropped out of it. You did your MBA in finance and then thought about content creation.  So will you tell us more about how did this come into being? Hello, everyone. So content creation journey started in 2020, lockdown, when we all were sitting at home. So prior to that, as you said, I was pursuing chartered accountancy course because I was interested in finance from the start, but couldn't complete the latest stages. But I did article shift of three years. So I gave my three to four years to taxes, finance. So I had to do something in finance only. And after chartered accountancy course, I, after failure in chartered accountancy course, I thought, what can be done next? So that's what I did. And after my MBA, I got placement and wealth management, which was into stock market, asset management. And then I got to know more about finance, wealth management, stock market. And it was very interesting for me and something new. But since I used to go to client places and meet them because it was into wealth management, we had to know their profile, how they're managing their finances, wealth. So what I noticed is that most of my clients were into business only and they were earning a lot. So I thought, I have to do something of my own. I cannot work for someone else entire my life. So that's how I thought, I gave three years to taxes, IDR, GST, that's all I did. So let's start something of my own. And so I started Exition Health firm. It was completely digital. Mirabai is into website management development. So, so many websites and that's how I started. So for six months, six, seven months, I started getting clients calls through Google Map. So I completely used the digital media, putting my ads, putting myself on Google Map and different websites so that I can get leads from clients for IDR, GST. And during that particular time, GST was a new concept. So there were a lot of confusion. Ki kisko GST nahi nahi nahi nahi? Kese kar nahi nahi nahi nahi? So I used to entertain a lot of call, unko ek gante, aadha gante pura samjhana and then convert the clients. But soon, 2020 aagya, I think, manhe chhe sath mai nahi hua tha, Exition Health start ke hue. Then because of lockdown, I couldn't get a lot of client place meetings where I could go and pitch myself and get company registration work or any other auditing work, which I used to outsource to chartered accountants, company secretaries. So at that particular moment, I decided ki kuch aur to karna padega. So I started scrolling social media, popular platform of that time, TikTok. And there was a content all about entertainment, comedy, dance and everything. So I thought ki mujhe taxes aata hai, mujhe finance aata hai, let's start something which I am expert in. So that's how I started making videos about MSME package, kyu ki usi wak government ne announced ki aata, Admirer package. So in which government was giving business loan to MSMEs at cheaper interest rate or without portal. So there are several screens understood to be under Admirer package. So that's how I started making videos on TikTok, explaining these packages, these schemes and everything. And what I used to do, I used to put my logo, extension app dot in, in the video editing in the corner. I didn't use to talk about my form, but I used to put my logo, so that I can get traction on my website and then I can get calls and convert them to clients. So this was actually my main aim while I started content creation. But soon I started getting a lot of comments in the section, in the comment section, people asking about stock market finances. And because I was from finance industry, I used to think, yeh to sab ko pata hoega. But jye wo comments saate, then I realized ke chye yeh bhi nahi pata hai. Chalo fere main se hi video banati hoon. So because of the comments, because of the queries I got, I started creating content on different topics, but all little to money and businesses only. So that's how I started content creation. And after one year I realized ki, exigileb se zadal future scope, mujhe I think content creation mein dikta hai. And now I'm fully focused on my content creation game. Great, how you told us about how the audience is paving the way in terms of helping you in terms of creating more content. What next they want to hear about and watch on various channels of yours. So they're just coming to you. You did your engineering and then you moved to content creation. So tell our audience more about your journey. So actually my content creation journey started when I was in 11th. So 11th mein ek baar during the recess, mere ek dost mere pas hai. And he like showed 8,000 rupees in his wallet, like pure cash.  So I curiously asked him, ki kaha se aaye paise hai and like how you earned and everything. So his answer was ki usne YouTube channel ke through earning ki uski. So it was back in 2016 and tabhi mujhe pata chala ki social media se aise hai paise hai bhi kama hai jaa sakta hai. So that's when I like had this vision in my mind ki yaar kuch to karna hai aapar. Like I, it was not ki this would be my career as in, I just started it as a hobby and tabhi Prajakta Kohli and all kind of comedy content creators kaafi zada rise meet hai. They were rising very quickly and that's when I thought ki chola hai comedy mein kuch to karthi hai. And I, me ne apne k dost ko pagda and I like immediately created a channel called Two Dumps and it was basically do hum do jante karke two and we were just going to do comedy so Dumps karke aisa naam lag di haum ne. And we just started uploading videos. Hamare first video jo tha wo board, 12th board exam ke ek din pehle main betke edit karke upload kar diya tha. So that was the craze at that time matta meri dimaag mein wo tha ki ye karna hi kuch to. So that's how the content creation journey started but soon I realized ki content, comedy is something jo main nahi kar ponga sustain. And it's not in me. So that's when I stopped and like started exploring other things and technology ek aise cheez thi jo I was very much interested from the start. I mean bachpan se main like kut ke basically kabhi PC main problem a gaya to main khud se research karke solve kar lehta tha. And then I was the go-to person in my family ki tech-related kuch bhi issue wo to tijos ko buch wo. So that was in me and during my injuring second year main apna first Android smartphone jid dilaya tha papa ne because main apna purana phone toro diya tha ek fest fest main. So that's when I started exploring more in Android and tab main rom flashes kar tha. So basically what you can do is in Android you can change the software. To agar main MI ka phone hai to us main Samsung ka software dal sakta hoon. Aise you can like change things. So I used to do that on daily basis because main ek cheez main bohot bor ho jaata tha. To after like using suppose MIUI which is a Xiaomi software for two days I would like get bored and change it to something other. So aisa mera jo and I used to boast it in front of my friends ki dekha aaj mera phone mein ye hai aaj mera phone mein wo hai and my phone used to crash all the time. Like main hai literally ek saal main almost 365 times mera phone reset kiya hoega. And it was basically a passion thing for me and that's when one of my friend recognized this and she was like, why don't you like put this stuff on YouTube? Ki kaise phone mein ROMs change karte hai and everything. So that's when I am like giving a background. Mera 11th mein mera aim bana liya tha ki kuch toh karna hai YouTube hai. So wo fire wo oppas hai start ho gaya and then I immediately created my first channel on YouTube, sorry second channel on YouTube. So it was by the name of Elementek. So that's when main I started uploading videos regarding reviews, main phone kharita tha kabhi papa ne naya phone kharita hai toh usko unboxer ke fin naya video daal diya. Ya phir, kabhi mujhe kisi dos ne naya phone liya ho, toh se borrow karke I used to make videos. So that's how my journey in technology started. But then wo time per capital zata nahi tha. I was an earning as well and papa and mummy toh obvisli har ek naya phone kharin dek le payasat de ne wale hai nahi. So that's when I started listical videos ki how can you buy top three laptops under 40,000 rupees, top five laptops under 60,000 rupees, or fair top five phones. Toh aise I was doing a lot of research and I found ki aise kategori ke videos jo hai wo kaafi log dekhna chata hai but unka like supply nahi hotna zata. So that's when I started creating more of these videos and I started gaining followers of subscribers and I almost completed 100k within a year of starting the YouTube channel. And tabi aise niya said tik tok bhi kaafi chal raha tha and I also had thought ki mai bhi short form content upload karunga tik tok par. But infamously tik tok kaafi badnaam tha. So I didn't want that tag on me ki ye bhi ek tik tok karei tik tok par videos banata hai. So I just like scrapped that idea but then at the same time tik tok got banned and there was news of Instagram reels and YouTube shots coming up. So then that's when I decided ki jab ye platform aega then I'll start uploading short form videos on the platform. So in 2021 I started with short form content. April mai I started and I was doing my job at the same time. So bohati ek random, you guys might know Jay Kapoor. So his videos popped up in my feed and wo ekdom effortlessly bole jaar hai like basic cuts hai and being a editor or being a content creator, I was as I mentioned ki when I look at a video, I am able to see the cuts ki hain isni hain dialogue ban ki hain, hain pe cut laga hai. I am like basically able to decode the video. So like ye to boh simple hai. Matlab mai 10, 15, 15 minute ki video banarao deher saals hai. To 15 seconds ki video to kaisa bhi man sakti hai. And at that time only 15 second video was possible on Instagram. So I was like, chalo 10, 15 minute apne schedule se nikal ke break time. Like I had the knowledge, I had everything to share. So why not like just try it out. So that's when I started posting short form content. Then wo hapar bhi mera research wala factor thai. I used to research ki konsa chal raha hai, konsa nahi chal raha hai. And that's when I started doing three keyboard shortcuts. So I knew ki hum sab abhi PC day to day basis pe use karthe hain. But we don't know how to use it more effectively. Like control see, control bhi to sab ko bata hai. But there are many keyboard shortcuts which can help you do a lot of things very easily. And that's when I researched them and started this series called Three Keyboard Shortcuts. And that started doing very well for me. I mean literally 100 ke 200 ke views to aisi easily aajate de uspar. And my page got a lot of traction. I mean almost 2 se 3 main main main I was from 500 to 200 ke 300 ke and I reached them easily. Jisko aisi bhozada motivation mila bhozada kush bhi lagara tha. So I, meh to us motivation meh, along with my job, along with posting YouTube videos and I mean agar YouTube video ke ek background do for you guys. So it takes around five to six hours to edit a YouTube video, 10 to 15 minutes long. And uske saath wo shoot karna banana fir day to day apna jo job hai uske saath do videos meh upload karne laga real par. Because at that time I was like fueled with energy. I was like karna hi ye karna hi hai. And response bhi aarata saamne se to I like started uploading. But ek phase aisa aaya ki I was about to hit 12 million. Mera 984 ke I reached very fast. But wo time par my growths went stagnant. And almost 6 to 7 months meh 984 ke par hi atka parata. So that was a phase jhaan par bhozada difficulty hua mujhe. Because motivation nahi thi. Kuki videos chal rahe but response nahi aara hai. Gurot nahi ho rahe hai. Toh bohot saare downfalls bhi thi. Bhohot saare aisa ek dum depression hi kaisakta. But it was a very low phase chal raha tha. Jisko cope karna bhi kaafi hard tha. But ek cheese demang methi ki if I keep doing it if I don't stop like 1 million ho jayega. So finally last month 1 million like completed. I completed on Instagram. So yeah, that's how the journey's been going. Great, great theorist. Please my mom and dad said, don't be bohot par yogi before 12th when you started editing those videos. Yeah, yeah. Bhohot, they weren't saying no. But they were like, ke kya karenga? Kya milega iss se? Kyo waste kara time? Then I was like, don't worry, mujhe pata hai, meh aapko karke dikhadunga. Great.  So was it more of a passion or did it happen by accident for you? Actually my journey has been started with a fake video. When I was in first year of college aur mere exams kathum hoi aur meh hum ghar jaane walte. Then I saw a video on YouTube, kaisse tum same wi-fipe meh connect hoke, kisi ka PC shutdown kar sakte ho. Merko bada fascinating laga ki, aar ye toh meh hacker ban jaunga. Lekin wo video fake tha, just for views. Lekin that video was fake, but my curiosity was real to know that. Aur mai ghar gaya, date maini ki shuhti thi, maini ethical hacking seekli chahan se bhi free meh seek sakhta tha. Aur ek saal maini diya, ethical hacking, programming, yeh sab seeka. Aur, tam mere ko laga ki aar, jo meh ne seeka hain na, mere ko kisi ko batana hai. Meh mer ko humesha se rahe hai ki aar, jo meh ne seeka hai, kisi ki naksu to maini batahunga. Apne dost to batahunga. Toh at that time Instagram was there aur mere kuch Instagram pe account bhi nahi da sakto. But I just opened the page aur mai asi hacking ka set-up ekera ka pics daal diya aur loko basana nahi laga. Kyuki bada cool lagta hai wo gadgets ekera. Enjoying it to meh aur nahi nahi cheeze batana hain. Kyuki dik ho aaj maini hack, yeh hack kia. Aaj humne is website go down kia. And then people started enjoying it kia aur yeh to hume bhi seekau. Humne diri diri aur content daal na shuro kia. To asi maini content journey shuro kia. Logo ne pucha, ki tum nahi yeh kise kia to humne batah diya. Humne aise start kia. Firt jay se jay se single image post haadede, fir carousel side, carousel smut haun hain bhoz zada struggle kia. Firt diri diri long short format hai, real side. To in that way, we just humne us carousel format se short form mein aage wo transition humne dekh hai ki kia se aate hain. But most of the that ab kia aate ki most of the content creators kia aate hain Instagram page pe hain. Lekin hum sit fahin hi tak limited nahi raha hain ha chate te. Humne kia kia humne ek community vana hi. Yair hum apne audience se na personal level pe connect hu na chate hain. To agar mereko aap unko fir example maini koi script pran karakin go di. Yair yeh hain. To maa chate hum kia tum hain wo script maa dedum khud se. To we have a telegram channel. Jaha pe lakh ho humane members hain. Abhi to agar tum hume koi aise document chahiye to maa tum hain telegram pe available karonga. Tum hain mucse baat karni hain. Maa dekh mere bas discord hain. Hum discord mein tum se baat karni hain. Haapse mein ek baar. Instagram be to hum value dehi rahe hain. To it was all like ki jaha jaha mere audience ko zarurat hain jis format mein hum waha par available honge. Tak ki mere audience ko kain bhi lag na lagin. Abhi hum ek jagin nahi hain. Yudio pe nahi hain. O bhi hum charur hain hain jali. To that's how our journey started from that fake video and then curiosity aur main content banata gaya. But ek constant cheez ye rahe ki mujhe kabhi bhi numbers na effect nahi gaya. I know most of the creators ko karthe hain numbers effect. Lekin mujhe amehsha effect gaya ki maa jye video banahonga. Isko edit karke kesa ho gaha aur disko post karne hain jo maza aega. Aaj jor maa topic banahonga ish pe video kaisi vani gahi. Script kaisi vani gahi. Meru hamehsha bo curiosity rahi hain. To hamehsha maa ne usi pe gahaan gaya. Beech mein ups and downs to aata hain yaar malab tum aata k chata yuk jaga phir nahi growth ho da. Lekin abhi tak ki I think one of the best journey I have aur maa gaya na chauan ki log kat na ki ye log ke jihon mein ups and downs aata hain maa gaya rahe hum mere baas aapse aapse aata hain. Kyuki ye time jo hai ye mera best hai. Aur community se engage hona. Meri kyaal se itni bhetri hain cheez hoti hain jab tum community se engage hoti ho. Kyuki aaj jor log meri post mein comment karta hain. Maa user name se bachan jata hain Xen last time kya comment kata. Maa usse itna familiar ho chukon. Hum gaya karta hain hum hum ek monthly give away karta hain to engage the audience. Mujhe nahi bata aur koi karta ho ki nahi. Jo bhi humare regular engage karne wale bande hain hum ko reward deta hain. Amazon gift card deta hain yaar kuch gadget waka raon go give away me deta hain. To isse kyao the kyaar hum ko lagta hain ki yaar ye bandha na sef followers ke li nahi khelra. Ye bandha hain reward dera hain. Hum engage karte hain tum sumoji raho basically tum ek comment karne ke liye kuch mil raha hain. To basically you are also paid to get engaged with our content. To ye cheez hum ne shoru bhi. To hum asse se garta hain aur aage aur bhi cheez hain jo hum ne fir apne audience ke saath kya hum ko personally kaha pe hum help kar sakte de jise placements mo unko help chee hain. Hum placements ka material to improvite kar aage denge. Tumare hain boards ki exam chal raha hain. Hum ne boards ka sara content deliver kya hum ko. To jise jise jo jo season aata hain hum usi ke according apne wo sub set kar lete hain.  Mul aateel so boot maaata hain information board luk dera hain. Mujhe laga hain ki boh ek structure hain jise roshan sir ne bhi gata hain ki ye short form hain aur logon ka timespan kum ho rahe hain. Yeah. To jise main laga hain ki jo startinga hain wo me hook dena bata hain. Fere hum pelle value de de aur ske baata hum ctr daal de de. Lekin ap jise jise short span hoata jaar hain aur wo change ho raha hain. Ab hum gya gara hain pelle hook dera hain. Fere ko ek ctr daal dera hain. Kyaar pelle humne koi hook dera hain ki ye website ek student ko pata ho nahi chee hain. Khi hook dera hain ki kahi missna ho jaa to seh kar lo. Shit value de di di kya kya hain. Aur se baat secondary city dea ki ache lagi toh ne story mein shere ho agar do. Toh poora real ka structure di change ho raha hain jise jise short loko ka jo short span of time ho raha and traction ka. Toh iss traise boh si chee samaj mein hain. Lekin agar summarize kare hain toh it's a fascinating journey boht maza aata hain. Reels aur aane mein scripting karne mein topics doon ne mein research karne mein it's a really good journey. Coming to you was it something which you always wanted to do? Or was it something else? Did you want to be a content creator from the start when it happened by accident? So I started my content creation journey when I was in college in 2019. And that time I didn't want to create videos. My main purpose was to do something related to tech. Because it's not that I just thought tech is the trending field so let's create videos in tech. I was into tech from last 15 years. I was very deep into technology. Like they just said I also used Android phones, jailbreak, iPhones and all these things. So I thought I will be making videos related to deep into tech. But then I started making videos on YouTube and after that I struggled for almost three years like in college when my friends used to go for parties and all those things at that time I used to sit alone like we rented a flat so I used to sit alone and make videos there and because it was very I enjoyed it so then when real started like in starting like in starting the short form content was on tiktok so after tiktok real started so the people who adapted reels in the starting they were very like that was a very good decision for them but earlier I used to think that reels is not a good thing like because the reputation of reels wasn't that good like so but then after that I realized that it was a very good decision to go into short form videos because like we all know the reach of the reels is it can be compared to any YouTube video or anything so I got into the reels and made reels for around six months and then I after that I thought why is my account growing I was on 3000 around followers I had on reels on Instagram then after that I like I gave my phone to my friends my family that why is in my account growing tell me what is it I I like I took my parents' phone I took my friends' phone I followed all the influencers from their phones to see their account and their content and my content and then I saw what I was doing so at that time my job was working as a software developer database administrator so at that time I was seeing that my YouTube graph was going down like and it because the thing I invested around three years in YouTube and I was seeing that the graph is going down so one day I just sat with my parents and told them that this the job thing isn't going to lead me somewhere because I wasn't enjoying it so so I just asked them if you think if you think that I should give them a little time I had not grown up at that time so they told me if you think you are ok then try and see so I told them I will have to leave the job once because I have to take a risk so they told because they saw that if there is so much effort and energy So they supported me, parrots too, and then at that time I left my job and I started content creation, full-time content creation, and then I built my studio, and within one month of building my studio, I grew from 3,000 followers to around 100K followers. The sudden jump was in just three days from 5,200K followers, and next day from 100K to 200K, and then eventually it started growing, and now after a million also like the account is growing very good. So that's how it started. Thank you. So we all know now most of you have reached the 1 million followers mark already, and we all keep on hearing that that moment happens when the influencers videos go viral. So did it happen in your case as well? Virality, yes, in my first videos, first five videos went viral, and I didn't, I wasn't expecting I would be a creator, I'll get good views or something, but since it was, I was educating, which was something new to the audience like Adnir Malpakesh, so it got very good views, and in the first three months I got 300K on TikTok, I think two and a half months only, but then it got banned, and I had to restart from zero on Instagram reels, and that too came after, I think two weeks after the ban, so those two weeks were very difficult for me, because I got something very quickly, and it was very surprising, and then it went away also, right? So I thought that if I do something this time, I will diversify everything, I'll start my YouTube, I'll start with LinkedIn, Twitter, and everything, so after one week or so Instagram reel came, and I started making content on reel also, but since platform was different, so audience was also different, so I couldn't put the same content I was putting on TikTok, I had to differentiate myself or renovate myself, so I started making different kind of topics, and which were particularly about stock market, investing, personal finance, rather than educating audience about government schemes, which I was doing earlier. So on Instagram also, I got 600K in first six months, so 100K each month I got, but after 600K, like he said, everyone said they got stuck at a particular number, so I got stuck at 600K, and then it took me one and a half years to reach where I am today, 1.4 million, but I have no complaints with algorithm, just like some influencers blame algorithm, it has something to do with your mindset, because if I got stuck at 600K, so I wasn't well at that particular point of time, if I'm stuck at 1.4 million today, so I am dealing with some personal life, happiness you can call or issues, so that's why I'm stuck here, because I'm not focusing, I'm not putting all my focus on content, so I believe you need to be consistent and you need to enjoy it, you need to have mindset to keep it going and keep renovating yourself. Ask for a quick reply from each one of you, because we already got the buzzer. Same viral. Yeah, I mean you want to share about one viral video of yours, what's the back story behind it? So my true viral video was on YouTube, so at that time, in my growing phase on YouTube, I used to livestream every Saturday, so at that time PUBG was very in trend, so I used to livestream PUBG every Saturday with my friends and engage with my audience as well, so I started getting a lot of questions like how are you live streaming, what setup are you using and everything, so at that time I was using a very basic setup with a little jugard, so that's why I gathered all the information, actually that process I had learned from a YouTube video as well, so what it did was I researched four to five YouTube videos, which were coming in the top five search results, when you search how to do PUBG livestream on PC with mobile, so what it did was I did a lot of research, I picked out all the bad points that they had not covered, I made a perfect script and made a complete video on how to do PUBG livestream on your phone, and that basically, so I made a video and that video did not do well, you can say very underperforming video on my channel and I was like I got a little demotivated because people were not seeing the video, so what happened was around after one month, one month later what happened was that video started getting traction, so one day I was seeing that my follower is 50,000 and the next day my follower count was up to 70,000, so I got confused, how did the jump of 20,000 come overnight, that's when I checked the analytics and I found out that my PUBG video is doing very well and it's like currently at 4.1 million on YouTube and it's like the highest viewed video in my channel, but then that video helped me grow to 100k a lot faster than like any other video, your first viral video, so my first viral video was related to three apps which are not available on Play Store, so it was not, it was not my first million, it was my first three million, so it hit a three million and certainly I got to 20k, 25k followers within a week and it was my first video, I found out how my audience gets content, so I made three videos and it hit a three million and that was my, that moment, after that, as we analyze the content, we get to know what the audience understands, what kind of content they like and when the content is given for it, we don't know but it's our duty as a content creator, but if the followers are growing, we have to put it in the content, so that was my first million or first viral video. So, Jaya. First viral video, on YouTube, my first viral video was, it was related to how to enable call recorder in the Android smartphone, because I think the first viral video of any content creator is a video in a very specific niche, because like overall video, like koibhi jo broad audience ko target karthi hai, wo video ko bhi viral nahi jati, ek chote content creator ke liye, ko ispecific video hi utti hai, jo viral jati hai, to usi se uska channel growth hai, search results mein video aati hai, aur phir wo normal content banana issi se start karthi hai.


St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman is running for governor in 2018. The Democratic mayor made it official with a Tuesday announcement. Coleman had long been considered as a possible gubernatorial candidate. Speculation increased earlier this month when Coleman said he wouldn't run for a fourth term as mayor. Coleman joins what's likely to be a crowded field to replace Governor Mark Dayton when his second term expires. State Representative Aaron Murphy has already launched a bid on the Democratic side.

So my name is Georgie. I work at SAP and currently I'm software engineer for the CF foundation services API team and I work out of Sofia Bulgaria and Hi, everyone. My name is Sam Gunnaratna. I work for Pivotal. I'm an engineer I work in London and I work on the same team as Georgie And so our team's focus is really like the services experience in Cloud Foundry And more specifically we look after the open service broker API implementation in CF So as authors of a platform like we spend a lot of time thinking about Brokers and broker authors and the specification. We spend a lot of time thinking about it in a very like abstract way So this talk is really us so taking a step back and trying to think about it more practically And really trying to understand does the specs sort of live up to the reality of what it claims So what we'll do is we'll do a little level-setter and talk a little bit about the API And explain it will then have a look at the ecosystem to see sort of what's evolved over the last two years of this thing being An open project then we'll dive into really the title of the talk Which is our demonstration and then we'll end with some questions and some learnings at the end Great, so we'll try and get through this bit a little bit quick. So what is the open service broker API? So this is a specification that started in Cloud Foundry a number of years ago put simply it's a way for Your applications running in Cloud Foundry to have access to backing services and the classic example is I have an application I want my application to be stateless. I need to store some database. Give me a backing data store And so two years ago the Kubernetes community were thinking about similar abstractions and so instead of going off and forking and making their own specification they decided to work with Cloud Foundry on the open service broker API, which is a run by a committee of these companies and the goals are exactly the same as the original specification except on The Kubernetes platform as well as Cloud Foundry. So it's all about managing service life cycles Okay, what does actually mean? I mean, we will need a little bit more details in order to understand the specification a little bit better So as part of the specification, we have two main actors in it The first one is called the platform a typical example of a platform is Cloud Foundry or Kubernetes This is the place where our workload lives The second actor as part of the specification is called a broker This is the component responsible for creating service instances of a specific type An example of a broker is the MySQL broker, which is capable of provisioning small, medium or large plans So what actually happens behind the scenes when a Cloud Foundry users types the CF create service command Then the platform behind the scenes makes a provision request. This is another term of the specification to the broker and as a result of that provision request, a service instance is created This means that we have our instance available out there in the cloud waiting for us Okay, so far so good. We have it But the next thing that's logically we need is we actually need some kind of information in order to connect to that instance This in the very Basic example is some URL username and password to connect to that database This in the terms of the specification is called a binding So again the platform makes a binding request to the broker based on some kind of user action And as a result of that binding a set of credentials are returned back to our application or our container And we could start working with our instance as normal Okay, to summarize what is actually the OSBapi as you may see from this diagram The specification is exactly the boundary Which defines the contract between the platform and the broker and define some kind of common workflows related to service instances Okay, but why is this important? So Because this is a Specification what it Facilitates is like this sort of model where you can have a platform and then a series of brokers offering different services And the reason you want to do this is you want your developers to have access to like a toolbox of services to build richer applications But the soap and service broker spec doesn't really have an opinion about where these services should be deployed so It might be that you have one of your brokers Hosted on-premise and there's lots of reasons you might want to do this Maybe you have data regulatory needs or for performance reasons or maybe you're backing an existing service that you have in your organization But equally you could also just get a service from a cloud provider So in the case where you want to use I know some like data service and you don't actually care where it's hosted You just want you want access to that service like why not get it from an expert who like an expert provider Who has a lot of experience running these sort of services? So and this is sort of like the heart of our talk And so sort of sparked the question like how many services are available from these sort of cloud providers? So we spent a little bit of time scouring the ecosystem of six different providers and found there's like 200 services offered by like all of these providers and It's a mixture of both SAS offerings so you just get a URL and you register it in your platform and Like artifacts that you download and then deploy on-premise And because everybody likes logos Here's a lot of logos of all the services that are available that we found And what was great during this like exploration wasn't just the variety of services It was the fact that if for example, you want a Postgres service There's actually a bunch of different providers that offer that service So what that means for you as a consumer as a platform operator is that you can pick and choose which Provider you get your Postgres from you could pick based on price or SLO or performance and if you're not happy you can switch So I guess most of you have started wondering where are we going with this talk because all the things so far were kind of familiar We saw them on previous summits on previous talks We didn't tell almost anything new as part of this. So what we actually wanted to do Some and I wanted to put the specification to the test So we wanted to validate how easy or how hard is for a developer to actually consume Multiple services coming from different cloud providers. So what does the developers do when they want to test the thing? They create an app. So we did We have created a very simple application with the purposes of this demonstration The application consists of two basic nodes a web node and a worker node a user is allowed to upload image to the web nodes and Then an image is passed to the worker node via messaging queue system then the worker tries to classify that image and Extend some kind of meaningful information from it relying on already trained models coming from an image classification service and Once we have our classification we store the end result and the input image in a relational database I guess most of you might be familiar with such an architecture because a lot of Real-world applications rely on similar services So how actually our app look looks like back from different cloud providers? Because we think we are kind of pragmatic and we also believe in using the right tools for the job We decided to rely on the message queue coming from the Google pub sub as our Inter-process communication system We we also use the IBM Watson vision recognition service with for the image classification And last but not least we use a relational postgres data postgres database coming from the Azure cloud So right now some is going to demonstrate you live What does it how does it look like from CF developer perspective to work with such application? That is backed by those cloud providers Okay Can everybody see? Okay, can everybody see that? Excellent Okay, so I have access to a cloud foundry environment right here And the first thing I want to show you is that we have some service brokers registered here So I can run the service brokers command and you can see we have three brokers And as your broker a Google broker and an IBM broker Next what we'll look at is we'll look at what services are available From those brokers and we can do that by looking at the CF service access command We'll just get those so you can see here. They're ordered by the broker so at the top These are all the Google services then we have the IBM services lots of Watson goodies and At the bottom a bunch of Azure mainly data services, I think But for the purposes of this demonstration, we don't actually need access to most of those so we've only enabled We've only enabled for three services that we need so that's a postgres from Azure Pub sub from Google and the Watson vision service from IBM So if we have a look at our applications, we have the two apps that Gilgit was mentioning a web app and a worker app This is just both regular like CF go apps and they're stopped at the moment So what we'll do is we will create the vision service from IBM Specifying the service name a plan and then an arbitrary name the service vision so go ahead and do that and this is going off to IBM's cloud and Provisioning some abstract concept of a service that will allow us to get credentials with the bind operation in a second Let's see how this goes All right amazing So next we'll do the bind operation and you remember from that diagram It's the worker application that she needs access to the vision service So we'll bind it just to the worker app And this will go and get the actual credentials the API key that's required to go and talk to the vision service Okay, so for the rest of the services we've pre provisioned them just because it takes a lot of time so you can see the applications So the services on the left and then how the bindings work in the middle in the bound apps column So our postgres and our pub server bound to both the worker app and the web app and our vision service is just bound to our work app So next what we'll do is we'll start both our web app and worker app and Just while we do that what we'll do is I've got it there already We'll have a look at the environment for the worker app to see what their vcap services look like So the first service you can see that is the Azure service You can see it's got a postgres connection string or very sort of vanilla And this is typically what service bindings look like For the majority of service brokers the Google one's quite interesting. It's a completely different authentication model You actually get back private key information that you use then to communicate to Google service and Finally the IBM service is again different. It's an API key that you get back along with the URL Let's head back. So our applications have started now and I'm going to Look at that and look at that. There we go So actually pretty proud of this UI mean you're beyond UI designs, but this is top-notch material design I can promise you So as you said what we need to do is upload an image Fortunately There we go. I'm trying to find my cursor here So what we'll do is find a nice image here Again, if you can see that on the screen, let's see if we can write you. Yeah, this one wait not that one This one. Okay. And so what we're gonna do is we're gonna take this image We're gonna upload it. It's gonna go to our web app. It's then gonna be sent all the way to Google servers Wherever they hope they're hosted It's gonna be picked up the subscription by our worker app sent all the way back to our cloud foundry then go off to IBM servers for classification then the results in classification and image are gonna be sent to as your servers to be stored and then picked up by our web app So if we open that and click load here We have some very simple logs for our worker app so you can see it's received the image It's classifying and then it stored it again in as your and finish processing the message And if we refresh I can confirm with the power of three clouds that this is a lion everybody Yes Thank you very much and You've already seen it, but this is pretty great. We've also got a not a lion And we'll see what Watson service thinks of this So if we upload it, it's the same process And it's actually pretty good It's determined that that on the right is is a dog and that on the left is a lion So I was actually very impressed by this. It's actually awesome Cool, but the main point is right is that like we're like as developers we just pick to these services And we built our application like using all these different Services from like the expert that we wanted we want like we know IBM a great like Watson services So we'll have that like maybe our app would be higher throughput. So we want the Google pub subservice, you know all that sort of thing Okay, let's head back to the slides Okay, so we talked about three different brokers and like the ecosystem of brokers that's emerged But as we know like the open service broker API has brokers and platforms. So what about an ecosystem of platforms? And so this is what we sort of wanted to do Where we had Kubernetes doing exactly the same thing talking to the same set of services and that's what gilgi is going to show you now Okay, thanks some thanks for the nice demonstration Okay, so right now I'm going to show you the exact or almost the same workflow but From a Kubernetes developer perspective or how we actually could push that exactly the same code base with exactly the same application but to Kubernetes and I have pre-configured a demo magic script So just to save you my poor typing skills So don't be impressed with my fast typing skills. It's a script But the demo is live. So it's not a recording. So if anything goes wrong, you will notice it immediately So the first thing that we did Similar to the CF we have configured the Kubernetes cluster and installed the service catalog in it and also registered three the same three brokers the Asia the Google and the IBM broker and this is currently part of my of my context So I have a cluster which is called something and Georgie and it's installed with all those things that we need Okay, the next thing that I'm going to show you this is the equivalent of CF marketplace command But in Kubernetes term, I'm using the service catalog CLI and in this case It's called get classes Which will return me return me the list of available services as you may see This is exactly the same list of services But just put in different order, but we have services coming from from Asia We have services coming from Google the spanner. We also have our Watson vision combined service that we are going to use as part of our worker notes Okay so the next thing is I'm going to describe or to get more details about about the Watson vision service and see what are the available Plans that that it has so it has the same set of plans as in the CF scenario It has a light and a standard plan and it also has a longer description about Specifying what are the pros and cons of the different plans? So the next thing that I'm going to do is trying to provision a service instance Or this is the equivalent of CF create service command that I guess most of you are already familiar with so again we The the the command is different. It's called provision But the semantics and the thing behind the since is actually the same So we just specify a name I identify for our service instance And we specify what is the class or the service and the plan that that the service instance should be derived from So we get an immediate response for that operation However, all operation in Kubernetes are asynchronous So we still need to run additional command in that in order to get the real status of that operation So this command in the terms of service catalog CLI is called described So I'm describing an instance and give the identifier the name of my instance So as you may see from the status field the service is ready It's available out there in the cloud somewhere in in the IBM data centers. So We have it ready ready good to go So if you remember the diagram That I've shown you earlier about the details of the OS Bappie We need one more additional thing to connect to that instance. This is the binding actually and As you may imagine the equivalent command in service catalog is called bind and we provide the name of the instance And we add additional identifier. This is the name of the binding So we actually put some kind of label for the binding Remember this name because later on we will use it. We call it vision binding just to associate it with our service instance, but it is it's a thing that we will use later on Again the same immediate list response, but actually behind the scenes something asynchronous might happen I'm going to again describe the binding based on the identifier But provide the additional show secrets flag which will actually try to decode my binding and Present in plain text what were the credentials that the broker has returned to the to the platform or to my application So as you may see and I guess as most of you may have is expected We have a new URL. This is the place where our service actually live and we have an API key Which we will use to authenticate and authorize our application when it connects to that service instance Okay. Yeah, the As some already explained the process for the other service instances is exactly the same I mean if you want to provision and bind a postgres or the cloud pub submessage in queue The process is exactly the same you just change the names and just change the values of those parameters So just to save us some time We have preconfigured those instances that are necessary for our application to live and we also have a corresponding bindings which are for the for those service instances So the next thing that I'm going to show you is how actually to connect that binding or start using that binding as part of our application environment This in the Kubernetes world happens in the deployment descriptor file or happens in the app environment section This is the environment that is available for our application when it boots So what we did here was actually when we used the binding or we the rep or Reference the secret that is associated with that binding and put that as a value as a new Environment variable that will be available on boot time of our application and our application knows how to Work with this vision API key environment variables So our library could start and could could work the same thing happens for the URL here Okay, let's let's test this thing Let's see whether the application actually will be able to start and work with with the service instances and with those bindings This in the terms because I we have created the separate deployments for both components this in the terms of Kubernetes We create those deployments using the cube CTL out of that Deployment descriptor the yaml file that I've shown you so yeah again Asynchronous operation, so we could not be a hundred percent sure that the thing is Running so we need to run one more command and describe our and get our deployments And as you may see our deployments are already available or our apps are already available for consumption or Just to one side note here because in Kubernetes Slightly different than than in CF when an application or a container is started It doesn't have a public IP address or a DNS address Associated with it. So we here need one additional resource in the terms of Kubernetes code a load balancer service Which will actually map a public IP address, which we could access from a browser to our application running as part of the of the cluster and as part of the pod so we have pre-precreated that load balancer service and It is available on this external on this IP address So when we open the address you could see the same pleasant UI that some already shown You so right now I won't get into the details of that because the process is pretty much the same I will just try and see whether it's working. I'm going to use this image for for the For the classification hit the upload button wait a few seconds hit the refresh and Yeah, it's working. So we have our image classified and as you may all see a pretty good and concrete classification so it looks like a good that food that everyone could have once this presentation is over Okay, this was the the demonstration that we wanted to show you how it looks like actually from Kubernetes developer perspective and how we actually could use The same code base and push it to a different platform The last bit that we wanted to share with all of you and that we thought that this is going to be interesting for Everyone were the learnings that we made during preparing for this talk and during create Creating this demo. There were quite a lot of things if I have to be honest The first thing that we were quite surprised in a good way Despite the fact that we are every day working with the specification and we know how powerful it is We we were very surprised about the huge variety of services available out there coming from different providers So it's definitely a good thing and I personally felt like a kid in a candy store When I saw how many services I could consume as a developer The next thing that we are happy about is how actually similar working from both platforms looks like from a CF related From services related Workflows, I mean the user experience there is pretty much the same You need to learn a few new flags and you need to learn to install a new CLI and you're good to go You can switch or you can use both and you don't have to learn almost anything new the concepts But the concepts are exactly or pretty much the same The next thing is Like this worked like we sort of set out with this goal of trying to consume these Three services we sort of came up with the name of the talk and then we were like right We'll go and figure out how to do it, but the good news is it worked Which is awesome, but with some caveats So for the eagle died amongst you when I did the CF service broker command You might have noticed that the URLs of the service brokers were actually Cloud Foundry apps And that's because to get the providers work and we actually had to use proxies And for different reasons so for the Google case, they actually support a very custom JWT a wharf Flow that Cloud Foundry just doesn't support So we had we have a proxy for that and for the IBM case their services are actually private to IBM cloud So I think Like I've talked to a few people about this and from our this this is this definitely wasn't possible a few years ago So like the general direction is that these things will be consumed and other providers are working on offering full sass offerings of their Brokers in which case like the proxies won't be like required The final thing that you might have sort of wondered is In our demonstration we pushed the same app to different two different places and same set of services But we never shared data across the two platforms And I don't know if you saw Florence talk the keynote this morning But that's the sort of thing that the service manager project is hoping to address So hopefully next summit someone come along and do an improved version of our talk and maybe show the web app running in CF and Work apps running in Kubernetes and communicating through services awesome Well, thank you very much. That was our demonstration showing, you know different cloud providers Services all being consumed one app and two different platforms Does anybody have any questions if you're interested in the stuff? There's two other things happening at summit I can shout out to so there's first of all if you're interesting about services in CF Nikki is doing a talk later about the services API team in CF I think that's at 5 30 and then if you're interested in like Kubernetes and CF experience for services Luis and Alex are doing a lab. I think there's one session tomorrow where you can go and play around with that life If there are no questions Thank you very much. Thank you


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 doesn't 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 I Ali Burji I'm 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 So doctor So Nabi Ibrahim alaihi sallam was instructed by Allah upon to Built the holy kaaba to rebuild it correct now. We we are aware that Arabs and Jews originate from Nabi Ibrahim's offsprings, which is Nabi Ishaq alaihi sallam and Nabi Ismail and Arabs originate from Nabi Ismail and Jews from Nabi Ishaq correct Well some of the Arabs some of the arms. Would you like to clarify? Well the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alihi is amongst the descendants of Nabi Ismail alaihi sallam Just as like Moses and Jesus are the descendants of Ishaq Alayhim sallam as ma'in and They the descendants of Ismail obviously grew in In Makkah Because this is where they started Ismail started his his life there as a young boy or an infant probably and and Amongst the descendants of Ismail where The likes of Hashem Abdul Muttalib Abdullah who are the ancestors forefathers of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alihi We can go into talking about these individuals who are if you like and and Sort of the role and in the society that they had and the status that they had In Charlotte just to shine light of course. Yeah on the Assisters of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alihi So the holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam His family Descend from Nabi Ismail alaihi sallam Through them are there any Who are prophets among the descendants of the holy Prophet are there any who are pointed by Allah's power to to and run let's say Mecca the holy Kaaba and I read Regarding the holy Kaaba that Benny Hashem which is the tribe of Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. They were in charge of The holy Kaaba Is that correct and that that the Hajj pilgrimage existed from before Before the beginning of Islam the birth of Islam now that Hajj. Was it connected to monotheism? Certainly. Yes. So was it taught by Prophet Ibrahim alaihi sallam? Yes So the Hajj was was it the same like we know it now like taught by Rasulullah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam I haven't sort of researched that to see exactly the details of the Hajj at the time of beginning from Adam alaihi sallam through various prophets alaihi sallam until Abraham and from there onwards, but Obviously, we know that people like Hashem Abdul Muttalib Who are who whether if you like the guardians of the Kaaba at the time they performed Hajj and they were Hajj coming around Coming every season to the Hajj to Makkah, and that's why they were the guardians of the they were taking care and they were providing services I will come to The fact that why Hashem is called Hashem and the service that he was doing But so yeah people used to come for Hajj. Hajj was known even from before At the advent of Islam at least which the Islam which started with the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam I say Islam all the religions The religions that the various prophets brought Was nothing but Islam Allah, they those prophets whether it was Moses Jesus Ibrahim Noah and so on They were despatched by Allah as prophets and messengers to humanity and they came along with a message and with the religion and that religion is Nothing but Islam So the religion of all these people in the Dina and Allah in Islam So Allah wouldn't send different religion to different different prophets and different people and The Sharia may be different the laws may be slightly different, but the religion is a is the same religion and if you see now that we're getting into this if you see The teachings in the Quran the references are made that Is it Islam or Muslim Muslim is used frequently for the followers of various prophets One which I cite on because we don't want to go into this if we can so if like we can I can make a presentation about All these verses in the Quran which refers to Muslim for various prophets Nabi Yusuf ala Nabi Nawa alaihi wa alaihi as-salam Says in the Quran Tawafani Muslim While happy the Salihin Oh Allah Make me die a Muslim Tawafani Muslim While happy the Salihin So that I can join and and give me the success. I join the Salihin meaning the pious meaning Muhammad Wali Muhammad The the Salihin in here or the intention of Of Nabi Allah Yusuf ala Nabi Nawa alaihi wa alaihi as-salam Are Muhammad Wali Muhammad the by the point is Tawafani Muslim So his wish was that he dies a Muslim and So all the prophets were Muslim The religion Islam their followers the true followers of all the various prophets If you like where Muslim with lowercase M and so they did have the Hajj and And and as I said if you see the hadith and so on at the time of Hashim He used to provide if you like services in terms of food and drink for the Hujjaj Okay So yes, they they had they had the Hajj They had pilgrimage downstairs to the questions that they did they were Hujjaj They were people who were coming for Hajj during that time With regards to what we know as today as the clan of the Holy Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is called bani Hashim Now this originate we always know that they take the the tattoo bani Hashim They add it to the originator of the tribe. Let's say was Hashim the great grandfather of the Holy Prophet Yeah, and he was the originator. Where did he come from? Well, if you like they bani Hashim has a fair to after him are taken after him because because of his status And standing in society and because of the services he provided because of the virtues he had they all followed the religion of if you like Dean Abraham as they say So they followed the Sharia and the teachings which had they had received in accordance with Dean Abla religion of Rahim, alaihi sallam Hashim became known Hashim Hashim is from the word Hashem When you break dry bread, you know and make food to give to the people basically there were famine in Makkah and Hashim he arrived and realized that there's famine and so on he had he ordered that his Camels are killed slaughtered So that they are there the meat is cooked and given to the people of Makkah now How many thousands were there? I don't know So he went out of his way to make sure that people You know eat the food that they require they receive the food that require and as I said He slaughtered his camels to do that and he continued to do that Okay, and that's why people looked up to Hashim Obviously he he he provides such a great service to them. He basically he If you like he saved them from probably a certain death at least for a large majority of the people So he became unique in that sense and that's why when they people started referring to the Descendants of Hashim they say Benu Hashim means sons of Hashim these guys are the sons of Hashim because he became a Standing point he became a Major figure if you like in society Not only that as I said earlier he used to make provision of food and drink and water and so on and And and bread and whatever for the Hujjaj So he he was part of his responsibility to offer the pilgrims and if you like He taken up on himself to do that if you like this is this is very similar to what we have in our time That people do for the Zawar of Imam Hussain alayhis salam on the occasion of our bias so Hashim did it At that time Not only when they was famine, but also when According to certain reports when they were during the Hajj season So that proves that of course there was happy people were coming to Hajj Yes, it was Jahiliya and More and more Jahiliya become prevalent. That's what I wanted to ask you but monotheism was there and people who said that Idol worshipping is wrong. They were there people who strayed Sorry, who stayed on the path of the religion of Ibrahim is the right path and make sure they didn't stray They were there most notable were the likes of Hashim abdul mut talib and abdul mut talib and Of course, Abdullah who is the father of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam and of the forefathers of the Prophet so People like Abu Talib and of course indeed we have that And there are reports which is in Bahar and various other books I took out of the Sadoq as well that Abdul mut talib was a hojjah The hojjah of at the time and his wasi Was Abu Talib alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam. So Abu Talib was the hojjah of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam on earth at that time and of course, it's not surprising because we have had ease that low quality of Ardham in Hojjah lasakha the Ardha be ahliha if For blink of an eye there is no hojjah on earth earth would implode it will lose its stability and This this this hadith is Throughout you can really find anything at that time at the time of Abu Talib and At the time of abdul mut talib abdul mut talib Was the hojjah and his wasi was Abu Talib alayhi wa sallam So how beautiful how Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and Views his his plans and wisdom now the thing that comes if if this is so I want you if Abul mut talib was the hojjah of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Now What I'm trying to understand is that during that time it was a young jahiliya so we had Mu'minin believers of Allah's pattern and also a hojjah of Allah's part and he was in charge of the kaaba How did they end up in that area with idol worshippers? How did they end up having all these idols surrounding the kaaba? Idol worshippers coming from Yemen from Syria From Africa to perform the pilgrim which obviously if they as well were performing a pilgrimage It had changed since the time of Nabi Ibrahim alayhi wa sallam But if if abdul mut talib was then the descendants as well from Hashem himself and before that How was it possible that because they were teaching the people as well They were informing them because if you're a hojjah that means your job is to keep the message alive How did the people? Deviate and just became so ignorant so bad to the extent that Allah spent a lot saved the best of the best Prophet Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for the worst of the worst Me in the Quraysh How did that happen? How is that? Well like Under any other circumstances when you have a prophet and there are a lot of people who are deviant From the prophet in fact they fight the prophet In the case of for example Nuh alayhi sallam He was preaching to them for nine hundred fifty years according to the Qur'an He was preaching to them for nine hundred fifty years and yet he the majority of his population of his people Were against him and apparently those who believed in him were something like in the of the order of 80 people or so so Even though he was a hojjah the prophet Nuh ala nabiyah alayhi wa sallam But despite that and he was a prophet but despite that The majority of the people didn't listen to him the same thing in here we had people who were mu'mineen Muslimin who were following the religion of Ibrahim if you like and but The majority of the people didn't follow and there is no coercion he abd mu'tal couldn't go along and sort of force people To believe in him or to practice the teachings of Islam or the Dean of the religion of Ibrahim alayhi sallam there were those who did And there were those who didn't and it became more widespread this jahlia and the people who had straight from the Right path the religion of Ibrahim became more and more to the extent that they started putting idols in the In the Kaaba and so on And there was nothing they could do about they just allowed them as much as what Nuh could do and it was just what Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa alaihi could do he stayed 13 years in Makkah and there were about Something like between Let's say about maximum 200 people who believed in him there isn't The Prophet himself Khatim al-anbiya the final messenger he came to Makkah and he stayed with them for 13 years He couldn't get he couldn't get The majority of the people of Makkah on his side he got apparently between hundred or 200 people at most To his calls to his religion so the same would be or even to a lesser degree at the time of Al-Hujjah Abdul muttalib says Abdul muttalib was Hujjah and Wawasiyuh Abu-Talib Before before the birth of the Holy Prophet peace be upon him and his holy progeny did they Built the foundation did they prepare the people for The coming of the holy prophets of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam whether were they were they informed themselves To inform the people as well or they didn't know they they said to themselves they were informed I haven't seen Anything to the effect that they had a if you like a Campaign or a mission that to inform the people of the final messenger don't know there was I haven't seen something like that But they certainly knew there were some people knew Even if you like Other religions Jews and Christians and so on knew there will be a messenger coming and so on according to their teachings and to their Books and so on But nothing more than that Jews and Christians knew that someone would be coming Final for the the the last messenger will be coming and people like Abdul muttalib Abu-Talib and so on knew who This baby will be this Muhammad will be even when he He was a teenager they knew they could see signs and so on but they Didn't have a specific campaign to inform the people about it is it has become known that They refer to Omeya as Omeya ibn abdshams Omeya the son of abdshams scholars and researchers who Published their works and so on they say they have proven that Omeya was not the son of abdshams and In fact, he was a roman slave who was adopted was like both by abdshams and then he freed him and He adopted him as a son


Welcome back. In this episode, we continue our journey through the boat building process. You've seen all the major components take shape independently, so now, assembly can begin. And it all starts with hull and deck rigging. So, let's take a look at what's behind the glass. The assembly process is a coordinated effort, and it requires all of the major components to come together, and it's the culmination of many hours of extensive engineering and design. Every component has design in spot and purpose. Before rigging begins, the deck and hull are test fitted together, a process commonly known as dry capping. Every sportsman boat is designed to have a shoebox like fit. This design ensures optimal strength, but requires tight tolerances for a perfect fit. At this stage, we make any necessary adjustments and push the parts to the next cell. At the next station, the team takes advantage of the hull and deck being separated, and assembly can begin. So, let's start with the hull. Work begins with the fuel tank. Each fuel tank is pressure tested prior to being hoisted into the hull. Throughout the build process, each tank will undergo several pressure tests at different stages, and is a testament to our commitment to build quality. The tank gets lowered into the stringer grid, and we see how it fits perfectly in the stringer cavity. Most of our fuel tanks are made out of cross-link high-density polyethylene plastic, and are built using a rotomolding technique. On our larger models, we use aluminum tanks. These custom tanks take advantage of extra space and allow for more fuel capacity. Next, let's take a look at the wiring and other electrical components. Each sportsman model has a wiring harness designed to accommodate all of the factory components available for that model. The harness has been designed to be routed to each section of the hull. During this step, the team will also install important components, such as build pumps, transducer, underwater lights, trim tabs, and any other build-specific components. Along the way, they will secure every wire and neatly routed through the stringer. This extra step will ensure years of failure-free use and avoid any unnecessary nuisance sounds. Another major area of assembly is plumbing. Pre-cut hoses are installed on the fuel tank for filling and venting the tank. Later in the process, these hoses will need to be connected to the fill on the deck during the capping process. As part of plumbing, the team will also install all of the necessary through-hulls that will be used for bailing the cockpit and boxes. We take an extra quality assurance step during this process by grinding the backside of the fiberglass flush. This will give the through-hull fitting a perfect mating surface with zero leaks. Other components, such as freshwater tanks, are also fitted with hoses that will be later attached to the deck. The hull is coming along nicely, so let's shift our attention over to the deck. It will undergo a very similar assembly process. Work begins with plumbing the self-bailing collector boxes on the deck. The other side will get attached to the through-hull fittings during the capping process. At this stage, parts will get installed in precise spots that match the reinforced areas we saw during lamination. The perfect example of this are pull-up cleats. The Aqua Steel will give the cleats the required support and load distribution. Many different components will be installed during this step, including the boarding ladder, cockpit tow rails, and even courtesy lights. Same as the hull, every wire will be neatly routed and secured. The moment we've all been waiting for has finally arrived. It's time to cap the boat. The capping process begins with removing all the debris from the hull and deck, paying close attention that all mating surfaces are clean and ready for a strong bond. The technician will apply a 2-3 inch bead of bonding putty very similar to the putty we saw in the hull lamination episode. Let's take a quick second here and take a look at our bonding putty in isolation. We do want to show you a couple of cool things about it, as well contrast it to our methamethacrylate. So this stuff is what we're going to use to adhere the deck to the stringer. For a couple of reasons. For one, you see it's super strong, it doesn't have a ton of flex, and it's going to provide tons of support wherever it is applied. And the second thing is that it can actually be built up to different heights, depending on the application. To contrast this, let's take a look at methamethacrylate. This is the stuff that we use to bond our stringers to the hulls, as well as the boxes to the decks. This stuff, it almost feels like rubber and it is flexible. It is able to absorb energy, that's one of its cool properties. So just to compare, we'll use this in places where we need to have a little bit more height, as well as have tons of support. And then we'll use the methamethacrylate, wherever we need a super strong bond, but we also want a little bit of energy absorption, such as through the hull onto the strings. They carefully trace every mating surface and work their way towards the transom. The team must work swiftly and accurately, as many different tasks will need to be performed simultaneously during the final pinning process. The deck is lowered almost all the way, leaving just enough room to complete any necessary connections of the hoses we saw earlier. Then work begins pinning the deck and hull, starting at the bow and working towards the stern. If you recall, extra composite materials were applied in this area during the lamination to ensure screw retention at the pinning flange. For the boats with side entry doors, special clamps are used to guarantee adhesion all the way around. They will be removed once it has cured. With the capping complete, we are one step closer to the finish line and some much needed on water time. Thank you for spending some time with us, taking a look at our capping and rigging. This is part of our SportTech Advanced Fabrication process. This proprietary combination of processes and materials yields the best results each step of the way and has been thoroughly tested for durability, longevity and finish. All sportsmen boats feature 100% composite construction with zero wood. Join us in our next episode for another installment of sportsmen's behind the glass, where you'll take a look at how we build the beautiful upholstery that we have in each of our models. From Somerville, South Carolina, my name is Victor and thank you for watching.
