Hey folks, it's Hari Swaminathan wanted to do a little recap of the week one and if you see we had two trades the two trades were Amazon and Baidu and both were spreads and We filled the Amazon spread at 1.45 debit. It's a $5 spread. Both of them are $5 spreads and in Baidu We had a 1.51 as the spread and so on the first day it was up about 320 so we started the week with I had an overall PNL of 215 0 to begin with so that's where we started so Anything you know above 215 0 is what the profit would be for these trades the first day We had about 320 and then we left it at that for that day, but the next day the markets took a big crash Hey everybody, it's Hari Swaminathan from option tiger comm today's Thursday, October 11th As we can see here the markets have taken a pretty big beating especially yesterday was a huge huge down day Now today in the pre-market it's it went down even further, but it's recovered about 20 points from its low So that's a pretty encouraging sign there And so I think the bottom is near if not today perhaps tomorrow one or two more days of selling but The markets have come down from 2950. So this is about a five to six percent correction already And so I think it is near near nearing the bottom at least temporarily unless there's some much more deeper problems Which we won't know until next week, but as of now, I think this is a pretty Decent side now, let's go take a look at our positions and as you can see it's not suffered too badly at all That's because we already had it in a self-edged mode Amazon of course had a three four hundred dollar profit We didn't I didn't close it then but I think any little bounce now we get We should we should take advantage of it I'm not sure if today is going to be the day perhaps either tomorrow or next week There's still 15 days left for expiry and both of these are in the earning cycle, you know series So I think we are good. We'll just leave it at this and I'll pick it up again later. Thanks Hey everybody, it's Friday and markets just opened and as you can see Positions are recovering there is quite a bit and so I'm going to buy two contracts back of the Amazon And book some profits on that you can see that there's a huge profit on the shot so I'm gonna just buy two contracts and Let's see if you can get it filled It's at going at 26. So now if you see the If you see the yeah, it's going at mark and if you see also same thing with Baidu We got a profit on the short call. So I'm gonna book some profits I'm gonna take the entire five off of on Baidu. So we have about a hundred and forty dollars there So I'm gonna buy five five of them back and book the hundred forty dollars I want to let the longs run a little bit because it looks like the market wants to be up. Okay We got filled on Baidu and so now the only one left is is Amazon the two contracts. I'll try to get it filled You know, we'll just let it be at 26 and the mark is 25 point something So I'll just let it let it be as is and then we'll see if we can get it filled Or I'll just change it and give it a higher price and see if I can give it around 26 25 or something like that and we'll see if we can get it filled So I'm gonna pause it here and then we'll come back So it's still we're giving a better price than the mark So we should get filled and you can see on five contracts. There's a profit of about 14,000 So on two contracts that would be That would be on two contracts that would be about twenty eight hundred dollars, I believe so I'll pause it And I'll come back Okay, markets are pushing up higher. You can see the profits are developing nicely So I want to I want to be able to take advantage my Amazon is Is has been filled and so we booked that twenty eight hundred dollars there approximately and now you can see the Baidu Long is also doing well. So I'm gonna book that as well. So I think overall We are doing we can do the numbers later But basically I don't want to take a risk because this could just be a relief rally now You can see it's gone up even further. So Amazon is up about eighty dollars And so this is a good time to close out the position actually because who knows we are getting into the weekend and then On Monday this whole thing might well, you might vanish again and the markets might go Bearish so what I'm going to do is just take three contracts the spread itself off first And then we can deal with the two contracts So in any case, I'm going to pause it here and it should get filled We got a nice profit and you can see both on Baidu as well as Amazon. So Totally, I think we may make About five hundred dollars on each. So that's not a bad. That's not a bad one at all Now what I'm going to do is now close two contracts because we already have three on the spread So I'm going to close two contracts of Amazon the long. It's at eighteen or four So the longs have had a chance to build in the profits now So I'm going to just try to close two contracts and then we'll worry about the three contract spread Okay, so they would go with the two contracts are sold And so now you can see our total profit for the day is 1360, but we had a negative coming in So I think about 900 to a thousand is what I'm looking at so here But in any case, I'm going to close this position out and we'll Okay, folks, it's the weekend and Amazon got filled I had to fight with it a little bit on the spread But now you can see our total profit for the year is three one four five So we started out at two one five zero and now it's three one four five And so that's that's a thousand dollars and I would say of approximately five hundred five hundred for each So if you wanted to do a ROI calculation, we know we had five contracts and we paid Approximately one point four for for Amazon a by-do and one point five for the other So basically for five five contracts is five hundred Five hundred shares and we paid let's say one point five So we paid seven hundred fifty for each and we got a return of five hundred dollars on seven fifty So that's a you know almost a two-third two-third Return so 66% return ROI on both the trades and so now I'll be looking for new trades coming up this week Looks like the ES or the overall markets have in fact turned around as we thought they would the previous day And on Friday was a good day. And so I think we are back to the bullish bullish side and Let's see if we can pick out some good trades. The good thing is with all the downdraft Where you have stocks that have been beaten down quite a bit. And so there'll be quite a bit of Buying opportunities. I expect about three trades coming out this Sunday night. So if anybody wanted to join the The October November program, you're still just they're still just in week one. We're gonna start week two So feel free to join you still have seven more weeks And if you're following the trades, then something like this would work very well And especially now the markets are positioned. I think to go up nicely So it's gonna be a good good couple of weeks and the in general the year-end is always there's a rally And so it's a good time to make some profit. So look forward to seeing you guys inside. Thanks

Amen, so can you first tell us your name and where you're from? It's Virginia Acuña and I'm from California. And Virginia, can you tell us what was the problem that had brought you here to the prayer with the anointing water and the testimony that you have to share with us today? I had a surgery 13 months ago for hernia and it was through my navel. They put a mesh and it was like something plastic. I don't know, something foreign and I had pains in my belly and I couldn't stick my belly button in or I mean my stomach in or stand for long periods of time. I was really miserable. So what exactly is a hernia and how does that affect your body? A hernia is like a bulge in your intestine, something like that sticks out, like comes out when you lift heavy stuff and so it was sticking out.  Yes. And so can you please continue with your testimony and why you had come here last month to receive her? So I was miserable and I just thought, you know, maybe God could help and He did. So really quickly, so after you had gotten that mesh put in there you had said that it was causing you pain. What kind of pain was it causing you? Stemic pain. I couldn't stick my stomach in. It hurt it in the navel area. And what kind of things were you not able to do because of the pain that you were having after you had that surgery? Because you had said you had the hernia and that after having the surgery the pain actually increased. Right, I couldn't wash dishes, I couldn't clean my house, take care of my kids. I was just in bed all the time. So you mean to say for 13 months you were laid up in bed the whole time? Yes. Wow, so when you came here last month to receive prayer with the anointing water what happened to you? I came for prayer and I got spray anointed and went home and a week after I got home I felt normal. Wow, let's put our hands together for Jesus. So you mean to say that one week after receiving the prayer with the anointing water that all of the pain ceased in your body? Yes. Wow, so what kind of things can you do now that you couldn't do before? I could jump, I could stick my stomach in, I could just stand all day. Can you show us a little bit about what you can do now? Straight, push it in, it doesn't hurt, jump. Amen, let's put our hands together for the living Jesus. Wow, what a wonderful testimony of how God can truly heal us from pains that we're having, from pains that are foreign in our body, that He can perform a miracle and perform His own surgery in our bodies. Amen. Amen, so for Virginia now you're here and now that you've received this wonderful healing and you can move and you have life again in your body. What advice do you have for the people here today? Keep your faith and God can heal, He works miracles and He can heal anything, anything that's troubling you.


How was the pumpkin patch? Yeah, pumpkin patch was good. It was good. Good family time. Yeah, so how do you feel, you know, having a little time as a self-scout, five games in, where do you feel the offense is, and where's some room to grow? Yeah, I think, you know, we've been getting better as the year's gone on, which is good. I think everybody's getting more comfortable. I think when you look through five weeks, there's a lot to clean up. A lot of things we can do better. And that's encouraging, you know, and I think we'll make those corrections as we move forward. But all in all, you know, five games in, there's been, you know, some good and some that needs to be cleaned up. And, you know, that's our task this week is to try and improve and get better during practice this week. So we play our best game of the year this Sunday. What's the running game last where you all at? You know, again, I think improving. I think at certain times in games, we've done a nice job running the football. We're striving for more consistency. You know, I think, like we are in all parts of our game, but I thought our last time out, we ran the football efficiently and effectively. And, you know, that's gonna be something that, if we wanna be a really good football team moving forward, we're gonna have to do that well. Thank you, Mr. Mayor, for the Dawkins, we're able to watch them on Sunday, a lot of movement on the defensive side of the ball there. How do y'all prepare for that? You know, they're sitting in the gap, jumping in and jumping out of the middle of the field on the objective of their... Yeah, they do a nice job of creating confusion, giving you tough looks and, you know, testing all of your rules, whether it be in the run game or the pass game. So we certainly gotta be prepared for a number of different looks and we have to have solutions and answers for those looks when we get out there. Is there anything that maybe can be an advantage for them? Well, I think both teams are, you know, there's an evolution as the year goes on and your team changes from sometimes what you think it might be during training camp to what it becomes. I think you take away, you know, from it, is that they play hard, you know, and they play with really good effort and they're tough and physical and so, you know, we're gonna have to have our, you know, mind and energy right for Sunday. But as far as scheme stuff, there's also five games worth of tape out there, too. So I think some of the things you saw in training camp will be similar and they probably are doing a few things, you know, to, you know, probably a little bit different than what we saw in training camp because of just game plan specific things that they've done against different teams. Do you know all those things, do you like save that for like pre-game Sunday, post-game Sunday? Post-game, yeah, post-game Sunday. I mean, I always wish Brian the best. You know, obviously, I've known him for a long time and, you know, I'm proud of what he's done and accomplished and, you know, I wish him the best, but he also knows we're both trying to accomplish the same thing this week and that's get a win. What's your favorite, like from that three year when you were big, because you guys basically were wind up against each other every day. What was that, is there like a moment that stands out for you, a story that stands out for you from that?     You knew he always wanted to kind of go into that coaching side or personnel side.  He was a guy that was serious about what he did and he's done a great job. Just with the run game and the threes and the fours and the fives and then you get in the top. What's the key to getting the top with some regularity? Well, I mean, everybody would love to be getting those explosives with regularity. I think it's, you know, it's difficult in this league. I think the way you do it is, you know, it takes all 11 guys being on the same page consistently for four quarters because you never know which is the one that's gonna pop, right?  I think if we can do a better job of that, you know, you talk about getting some of those runs to come out the, out the back end of a defense a little bit more consistently. Those aren't easy yards, but if you can get an extra 20 that you didn't maybe think you were gonna get. That's huge.  And so, you know, if we can get that going, that'd be huge. Matt, just as far as going into preparation, you prepare for teams like going, like how do you gauge like teams that show certain phone coverage don't come against other teams versus saying, okay, we're gonna do this, this will do versus like, oh, we're gonna make a big adjustment, like when we get ready to go against them now, like how did you gauge in your game, like from a, okay, this might work against this particular team, but it might not work against this particular team. Yeah, you know, I think there's, it's a good balance of looking at similar type teams to what you do, like opponents when you're, you know, going against, you know, a defense that you may have played somebody that does similar things. I think those things help. I think, you know, making sure that you're, you're watching, you know, the cut-ups of the personnel groupings that we emphasize. There's a lot of time you can waste. If teams are playing in different personnel groupings than we feature, you know, there's a lot of, there's a lot of hours that have been spent in my life early in my career that, you know, you can't get back and there's ways to be more efficient. So I think I've done a good job of that. You know, and then you also have to, you know, put that part of it to bed too and get back on your side of the ball and make sure that, you know, the two or three things you get that might be unexpected, you know what to do.  You know, as far as, like you and I was meant, you know, sure y'all got to report that y'all just had that non-verbal communication and you knew where you were going to be and you knew what protection you might follow and everything from pre-staff to that point. Like how would you and Matt's indices of relationship being so far just kind of looking back, you know, the first five years? Yeah, I think it's been getting better, you know, and that's what you want when you're playing with guys for the first, you know, real extended amount of time. I think, you know, you want to see consistent improvement and Matt's done a great job. I mean, he works extremely hard, had a great mentor to learn from in Alex and to see, you know, how to do it the right way.  And for a team and how, what it might be in training camp versus what it actually ends up becoming. I mean, I was just curious kind of like, I know it's only five games in at this point, but the five weeks is a good time to kind of reflect on that.  Yeah, I think, you know, your vision early is to just be this dominant football team that goes and road grades everybody, you know, every week and that's not always, it's just not always the case.  Kyle Pitts turning into what he's gonna become as a player, you know, how you thought maybe he would, you know, how you thought teams would defend maybe how he is on the field and what they would do and now maybe it's a little bit different so we're utilizing him in different ways. I think all those things, you know, play a factor and I think when you talk about your offensive line, we had a lot of unknowns in that department too and you know, what run plays and what kind of runs are we gonna feature as we get going and you know, what's gonna be our protections. You have this kind of, you know, really massive playbook and you know, it kind of tends to shrink itself as the year goes on and you figure out the things that you do well that fit your guys and fit the opponents you're going against and so I think, you know, we still got a long way to go. It's still early but I think, you know, you're starting to see us trend in certain directions. At least I feel that way. Yeah and the opposite is true of that as well.  You know, it's just the way things shake out but I always go back to the good football teams that I've been on throughout my career are the ones that expected a lot of themselves and put in the work, you know, and didn't take anything for granted and you know, I do see that from this team. I think there's guys that work hard and are on that, you know, quest to get better every day. Good, you know, I thought he practiced well for us. Was out there flying around which has always been the case for him. I mean, he comes out and he plays with unbelievable energy and great speed and I thought he looked great.   It's a really good group that we have, you know, an unselfish group of guys that all pull for each other and you know, that's the case with guys being out like Calvin and Ross. They're pulling for guys like OZ or Tajay to step up and play well and you know, it's cool to see as a teammate. You know, that's what you want. You want a bond of guys that, you know, are encouraging others and you know, also want to do well for themselves. Do you think the receivers have learned, you know, being, of course being now with Dr. Rand guys going into games but being able to show up in the morning? Well, it should create, you know, confidence and belief.  They've proven that, you know, over and over throughout the season, even when those guys were up, you know, at different times in games, I think back for like Tajay and OZ in New York, playing against the Giants, both those guys came up with huge plays for us in critical situations. So, I would only imagine, you know, it helps to build their confidence as they're moving forward. And when you look back to you, when you look at the defense and some problems they come forward? Well, they're aggressive, you know, in terms of pressuring, sending guys at you, trying to create problems in your protection. They play tight man-to-man coverage, you know, which forces you guys to be really good on the outside, getting releases and winning one-on-one matchups, but they also know how to get out of that and give you certain looks that you think you might be getting pressure and get out to zone type looks and same with giving you man-to-man looks in the secondary but then playing, you know, zone type of coverages. So, they try and stress you in a lot of different ways.  And I thought we did that Monday, you know, I thought it was a good practice for us Monday and that's the same for this week too, just feeling fresh and ready to go this coming Sunday. Well, being massive, how much in a year do you know how much you know 100% of it, or do you say, okay, I have 70% and if there's this or that, I feel Laura Matt real quick to speak, but how does that process go? Well, there's new things, you know, new things that come up throughout the season, but of the stuff we installed in training camp, if I don't know 100% of it, it's probably not good, you know, and so I feel like I've got a pretty good command of everything we sit down in the office and talk about as we're going through it, but there are certain things that come up through the course of the year where we might say, I know we haven't done this up until this point, but you know, I think we might need to add it. Justin? Kind of following up on what Empany asked you about actually, I think you said in your press conference in London that your message to the team after it was, you know, it's a five week rest, but also use it to improve. Did you check with guys, you know, what were you doing, how did you improve and what did you hear talking to people about how they use this time off? Yeah, I mean, I thought it was good work we got during the bi-week too on Tuesday and Wednesday, getting back here in the building, getting some of our developmental guys on the field to go out there and get work and I watched a little bit of it as I was kind of getting some of my body work done and I thought they, you know, put in good effort. I think, you know, one of the things you can, you know, look at in terms of improvement is your own daily schedules and what you've been doing, you know, in your routine for the first five weeks, what might have worked, you know, what are areas you might wanna, you know, cut out and that's one of the things I've talked about with some of our different guys is, you know, just making sure as we get into this, you know, long haul stretch of the season, we're in a really good spot of week to week knowing what our preparation looks like and how we can hit those spots because I really believe that's, you know, one of the ultimate ways that helps you play better. And on a slightly different topic, it's a 14-year, then a resident, we saw the picture of Blooper, the brave, the confidence to put out, are you living and dying with this right now or are you staying up and watching?  I felt like everybody else, a good pitch too, but just a great swing on a high fastball that kind of, that blew that game open. So, yeah, I'm pulling for him. Tonight will probably be, they're eight o'clock tonight? Or they're eight? That's a little too late for me. I might cast for maybe the first two or three. The games are going forever too. They've been long games, but I watched every pitch last night and was bummed for the guys, but they're up to one, you know? And they're playing great, so I'm pulling for them. Have you been doing this for a while, obviously? So do you prefer or do you even tell when you know the body's early and see this? You don't get a choice, you know? You like the one you get. I think every year is just so different of when your team needs it. Sometimes it comes at a good time where a bunch of guys are injured and you've got to get people back. That could be early or late. I don't think it's beneficial one way or the other depending on the year. I think it just depends on the team and the year you're going through.  And because it changes, it's so different from other sports where personnel changes every play, right? And so you're in that huddle and four new guys come in almost every other snap. And when you're out there operating, you operate with the guys that are out there.  From your perspective, we've seen a lot of safeties come through and get the belts here. We've had the old guys, the lawyer and the air, coming with the cool and more. What do you see from Rich Granite? You're going back. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Institutional now. What do you see from a team like Rich Granite, he's at the early stage of this, got a little action last week, helping all the special teams, like you learn that spot over there? I think you nailed it. I think the key is to play really good on special teams and it gives you an opportunity to be up on the roster as frequently as you can be, because experience playing, it just can't be replicated. I think when you talk about comparisons to other guys, it's hard, everybody's, the scheme's different than what those guys were playing with Mike Smith and at different times with Dan Quinn. But the constants of good players is the same. It's hard work, it's being passionate about what you do. It's really caring, like genuinely caring. And Rich, he shows that day in and day out, he practices with great energy positivity. He's fun, he's fun to be around, but he knows how to get to work when it's time. And I think that's gonna serve him well. Thank you guys. Appreciate it.


As we saw here, the communication problem results in this extremely complicated looking expression that we would want, we now need to analyze. This expression depends on the channel noise distribution here, which is the probability of seeing a certain output given a certain input. And in that expression has gone the channel, the input which depends on the encoding strategy and also in this expression has gone the output which depends on the decoding strategy. And our goal was to find combinations of fn and gn so as to minimize this particular error. So naturally this is not by no means an easy problem, but there are ways by which we can approach this particular problem and that is what we will talk about now. So the first subclass of problems that we can consider is what is called, so the first subclass of problems that we can consider is what are called data compression problems. So data compression refers to the situation in which the sender of information or source has to be recovered with at the destination, but it has to be done, but there is a limitation in the channel. The channel is not noisy, the channel will not add noise, but it provides us with very limited storage capacity. So there are not that many, we do not have enough possible distinct channel inputs that we can accommodate all the possible values that the source could potentially take. So the challenge in a data compression problem is to decide how to take the source that we have and optimally use it so that we are making use of the channel resources that we have. The channel resources are not constrained as I said by any disturbance or noise that they add, but rather in how many we have, each series source is perfect in the sense that the channel does not add any noise when the input goes into it, but there are not that as many inputs as the number of source symbols. So the setting is as follows, so we have here data, let us say this here is of length n, so this here is the source which we will call let us say S1 to SN, that is your data here. This has to be sent to a destination, so it has to recover, this has to be recovered at the destination, let us say whatever is recovered is denoted S1 hat to SN hat. Now the process of sending this from source to destination happens over a medium which is limited in the following sense that it can take only a certain number of, it only has a certain number of distinct inputs, which means for example the medium could be limited in the kind of fidelity it offers, it could be you know it only lets you send certain types of symbols maybe or the certain number of symbols or there is a limitation on how often you can use the medium, all of these are one and the same way of describing this particular situation. We will also consider the case, we will consider for simplicity the case where this data is actually binary, so this here is a sequence in 01 to the power n, so this is therefore a sequence of what are called bits, that is your source, so this is your source. Now when I want to talk of the limitations of the medium as I said that you cannot, the medium is not rich enough to accommodate all the possible values of the source, what I mean is that the medium can potentially take only 2 raise to k possible inputs, so it has, it can only take 2 raise to k possible inputs. So think of it this way that the, you have let us say 2 strings of length n, binary strings of length n, so these are effectively think of them as some say 2 raise to n different words or 2 raise to n different books that you want to send from the source here, from the source to the destination, but then this, the way of sending them has to go through a rack and that rack is say like a book rack or a bookshelf in the library and that bookshelf has only 2 raise to k possible slots, so it can hold only 2 raise to k possible books. So what one does is you send, you send a book on one side of the rack that is what the sender does and or the encoder would do and the decoder on the other hand gets to see, he can just pull the book out from the other end of the rack that is what the decoder at the other end would do. But you cannot potentially, you cannot use, there are only 2 raise to k possible slots, so there will always be certain books or certain sources that you will not be able to fit into this particular medium and that is essentially the problem of compression. So what you have to do is take your source which is present here, compress it in a way that into something much smaller and take and use that whatever is that there which is at the other end and to reconstruct what was sent. So this is, so since I mentioned that we need to introduce an encoder and decoder, let me just draw those entities here into the picture. So once again we have an encoder here, we will denote this encoder by F, this encoder decides which book goes in which slot, there is a decoder sitting at the other end who is able to pull the book out, that is your decoder and then he sees what is present in that slot and then reproduces the book. Now really technically we do not really need to actually send that book itself at the other end, what one only needs to do is send say an identifier for the book, say for example we can send its ISBN number or its name or URL or something like that and that is what is kept in that slot. So the decoder only looks at that particular pointer, looks at that identifier and then from that identifier reconstructs what book it was that you wanted to send. So what is being presumed here is that the encoder and decoder have to begin with agreed on a scheme that in which all our books have been given some kind of identifiers or some kind of numbers, some kind of tags are present in which both encoder and decoder, which both encoder and decoder have agreed that this is, this book will stand for this particular tag, this book will stand for this particular tag and so on. So the ISBN way of numbering or the DOI is that we assign to papers and so on, all of these are basically these agreed upon numberings or agreed upon labelings of all the possible messages that we have at the source end. So this particular, this particular labeling is our encoding strategy. So this labeling in which we basically say that in which we assign a slot to every book is our encoding strategy and what the decoder needs to do is basically just invert this particular messaging, this particular labeling. He needs to look at the slot and then from there infer what is the book that was being sent. So what we have here is that you have a labeling scheme for all values of S1 to SN that assigns S1 out of 2 raise to K inputs. Now if, so let us now think what where the difficulty lies. So what would happen if K was greater than N? So if K was greater than N, if K was greater than N, this problem would be rather easy because every possible, there are 2 raise to N possible books or 2 raise to N possible sources and there are 2 raise to K slots and the slots outnumber the books. So every book would get a unique slot. So if K is greater than N, we would never have an error, would never have an error and the reason we do not have an error is because if you remember I mentioned that this medium is noiseless, it is just a cupboard where you have these pre-decided possible shelves and all you need to do, all that the encoder needs to do is say that this shelf is being used and then the decoder at the other end just knows what book was being referred to. So if K is greater than N, there is adequate space for all the possible books that we want to communicate from one end to the other and so as a result, there would never be an error. But let us suppose in fact in the same situation would also, in fact the same situation would also arise if K is equal to N. So if K is equal to N, there would be just enough space for all the possible values of the source and you could just then get back whatever it is that was being conveyed by the sender or the encoder. So the challenge in this problem comes because as I mentioned because of compression, the effect of compression which is that you do not have, you have a resource constraint, we do not have as bigger shelf to accommodate all the possible books. So what we therefore in the domain, in the regime where K is less than N. So the number of possible inputs is smaller than the number of possible values of N. So let us see when is it that what a source will be correctly recovered at the destination. It will be correctly recovered at the destination if suppose a source value M is being sent from the source, this is mapped to an F of M here which is one of the input. The decoder should know that well if F of M is what is seen at the medium. So if F of M is what is seen here out here, then the book M is what has to be sent. In other words, the decoder should be able to invert F on this subset of inputs. So of all the possible inputs that have come here, the decoder should be able to invert and then get back and reconstruct what M is. That is when you would have no error. Now there will always be a clash as because there are fewer inputs here than the values of the source. So the way to ensure that there is no clash is to ensure that you is to sort of come up with an agreement where you can do this in one of two ways. One way is that you say well I am not going to map all the books here. I am going to take only a certain subset. I am going to really take only to a certain subset and that subset is this two, some subset of size 2 raised to k, these are going to be my high priority books. I am going to map those to I am going to give them a space in this shelf and all the others I just declare that they are not going to be recovered and that is part of my loss. The other is to say well I am going to map you know every possible book that can come up to one possible slot but the decoder will only be told one of them like the decoder will only map f of M when it sees f of M, the decoder will map it only to one of the pre-images that are there. So if there are multiple books that could have been assigned the same slot, the decoder only picks one of those particular books and then out of those books and then maps that back to use uses G to invert that f. In either case what you are doing is f here f is basically a many to one mapping but we are looking for is a many to one mapping but we are looking for a subset but we are looking for a subset of 2 raise to N we are looking for a subset of 0 1 to the N of size 2 raise to K. So we are looking for a subset of size 2 raise to K which will be will be recovered by G. So that is what will be that is the plan so that is what we want to want to look for. Now how do by what is the logic for finding such a by with what goal do we are we going to approach this particular problem. Remember the goal in all these all our communication problems is to minimize is to somehow minimize a kind of cost between the source and that is dependent on the error between the source and the destination. So let us suppose that are the cost that we are going to consider is simply the probability of error. So we are going to look for we going to seek fn and gn such that to minimize the probability that s1 to sn is not equal to s1 hat to s1 hat this is what we want to do we want to minimize this particular probability. So remember that we I have already told you that all books cannot be recovered that is you can only recover 2 raise to K because that is the way you are you are slotting you know that is the resource constraint that you have. So the goal is then to say which ones should you be prioritizing so that you get the least possible probability. Now this particular question of which gives you the least possible probability is actually a very tricky question to answer because there are many different combinations here you are you if you can if you see you are looking at a set of size 2 raise to n of which we want to look for a subset of size 2 raise to K and with whose probability is such you know with the highest possible probability so that the complement is has a very small probability. So instead of looking at this specific term which is that you are trying to minimize the actual probability the approach that Shannon takes is a far is an ingenious one is that he says well I do not really need to know what is the exact minimum probability let me not worry about that exact value instead let me just address the final question let me ask is it possible to construct f n g n for each n such that limit as n tends to infinity of this the probability this particular probability s 1 to s n not equal to s 1 hat to s n hat this limit is equal to 0. So, which means with with as n goes to infinity with probability 1 you would you would have you would recover with probability 1 you would recover recover what the source was saying. So, question that so Shannon is approaching this question by saying I do not care about what the actual minimum probability is for any particular n I am just going to ask is it really when is it possible to get let n as to make this probability of error 0 as n goes to infinity if that is if that is done then that is good enough because then I know that that is in fact the best one can do all right. Now, so now of course before one does this for as n goes to infinity it is one needs to formulate the problem for a finite n. So, so this particular so to formulate this problem for a finite n we have we can write it in the following way. So, given an epsilon greater than 0 does there exist f n g n and n large n large enough such that the probability of s 1 to s n the probability that s 1 to s n is not equal to s 1 hat to s n hat is less than epsilon. Now, this is what we want to achieve. Now, if you think about it here what we are doing is we are taking the limit as n goes to infinity. So, which means that as n increases the number of possible values of the source or you know the number of in other words the number of possible books that I was referring to that you want to store in your library the number of possible books there is itself growing and it is growing exponentially on the so now for this whole problem to make sense we also it has to also be that you have to also ensure that k itself also grows. So, we want to let therefore k to also grow with n because if k does not grow with n if k remains constant with n then the problem does not have much meaning because then the you know soon you will have a situation where the number of books becomes much larger than the number of storage amount of storage space that you have and you know you will not be able to recover anything at all. So, if you are if you are looking for this kind of objective which is a kind of a strong objective where you want the probability of error to go to 0 you know not just look for probability of error smallest probability of error we want actually the probability of error itself to go to 0 it is essential to look at a regime where k also grows with n. So, we need it is necessary that we need to indicate k to grow with n this is essential without this the problem is cannot be given any meaningful solution right. So, if so then the now the so now that we see that k must all must be growing with n we can we can talk of very many different types of cases but remember k is growing but we have to talk of cases where still k is less than n because that is the regime we are in. So, one possible way of thinking about this is to ask suppose I allow for k to be some theta times n right. So, k is suppose if a constant theta times n where theta here is less than 1. So, k is then growing at the rate theta times n where theta is the slope of or the rate of growth and that is less than 1. Now in that case notice what actually happens if you see we have 2 raise to k possible books possible slots of k is itself theta theta times n. So, this is therefore 2 raise to theta times n. Now suppose let us look at the fraction of that is that that is being let us look at the fraction of 2 raise to k to 2 raise to n this divided by 2 raise to n that is equal to 2 raise to theta times n divided by 2 raise to n. And now what is this particular value this is 2 raise to theta minus 1 times n. And since theta is strictly less than 1 this this term here is actually 2 raise to something negative right times n. And so as n goes to infinity this term actually goes to 0. So, in other words if we are looking for k growing with n but k is strictly less than n that means we are looking for something k equal to theta times n where theta is less than 1 we are effectively talking of a fraction or the number of books that are going to be recovered that are going to be correctly stored that is the number of slots that we have in the in our rack that the fraction of that relative to the number of total number of books that we actually have that fraction itself goes to 0 which means that what is going to happen in this is kind of inescapable that we would actually be recovering a very very small fraction of the total number of books. Now on the face of it this might seem like a contradiction because on the one hand I am talking I am saying here that I want the probability of recovery to be to be 1 that means or probability of error to be 0 but at the same time I am saying that we are recovering a very very tiny fraction of book tiny fraction of the value of the possible source values. What is amazing which is what Shannon really found out is that this these are not mutually contradictory and that this this can in both can in fact be done and this is in fact the secret of of the of Shannon's data compression theorem. So, I will talk about that in the next class.


Good morning, we are here again with you to take you through the topic of the day on MCM, that is Man Crush Monday. It's been, since morning we've been having a good conversation from the morning when we went to the Chambua magazine and then there was some discussion on cohesion and national values and we are here, this is White 5-4, we are at White 5-4 in Twitter and in Facebook. The question is already there, the topic we are going to discuss is just a friend, just a friend, is there a possibility that a lady and a man can be friends without any strings attached, just a friend who meet somebody, this is just a friend. You know we are discussing this because yesterday was National Friendship Day and in some countries like USA it's called National Girl Friends Day, so this is what has inspired this topic, it is possible, is it possible for friends, for one to be a friend, to a lady to be a friend, to a man without any strings attached. And with me to help discuss this or demystify this are two great people here, a lady and a gentleman, they are going to introduce themselves, let's start from Voke. Why don't you start with them? Because I want to break the norm of ladies fast, today is MCM, so I've given you opportunity to start today. Thank you for having me, my Yudu ma nama names are Hurinda Kevin and you can also call me Voke Bazenga, I have a YouTube channel, my YouTube channel name is Voke Bazenga, Voke Bazenga on Twitter, Voke Bazenga on Instagram, Voke Bazenga on Facebook, all social media platforms. Voke what do you do? I do a lot of things, I am an MC and I am a content creator and also I am a child of God. Oh nice, nice to have you and then there is a queen, you tell us elaborately about yourself, you look a bundle of joy, you tell us your name now. My name is Joy Khamuyu, I am just in my last semester in Daystar Communication. I love God so much, in terms of occupation, I am a content creator and I am also an actress, but lately I have not been acting, so yeah. You are social media handles? My social media handles, Instagram is Joy Robin755, my Facebook is Joy Robin Nemo. Yeah, these guys are saying they love God, both of them, Voke says he is a child of God, Joy says she loves God, I also love God. You can notice that my voice is a bit gunkidogo, I sang, I went to Wote with Kwaia Makua Boy, I went to Wote in Ukambani and sung my voice out, so that's where my voice has gone to. So on the set today are three children of God. Wow, we should start preaching here. Of course we should. Okay, now to the topic of today, let me come back to the rule of ladies first. What is your opinion about cross gender friendship? Do you believe that a lady and a man can be friends, friends just friends without any strings attached? Yes, it is very much possible, I actually have two best friends. One of them actually comes home even at nine to see my mum, but my mum really, and I'm shukusa na, like, mimi butiwa na na huyo pijana, sita puja haresie, please, please, please. And so she's concerned, he's a good guy, they get along very well. At times when we don't have a driver and they also don't want to drive, she calls her over na mpeleka airport, katia renda job binge, you know. And then they have bonded and she's come to accept the fact because there's also some pep talk with my sister. She's like, nimo, nojo mama lini lisa kama nyukulim na dech na na ni. And I'm like, ah, sata mu nimombia nini. And they also know it's an open relationship, it's an open talk. And yeah, she just came to settle for it. Like, saha wakama kuna usiyano, it's okay. Like kini arusiyeniwe that I am not attending. Did you say they are too? Yes, they are too. And you are that close to both of them? Yes, I am. Are you sure there is no string attached? No strings attached at all. It's high, high, high. I don't want to mention their names. Asiva, it's innovated that he wants the friendship to move to another level. Both, any of them. No, of course there are those jokes like, sileoni kukule. And I'm like, yo bro. Know your limits. Know your lane, you know. Please. No, I can't. I just can't. We'll get back to you. Give us your opinion about this. Personally, I used to have a best friend back in the day. Back in the day, I used to have a female best friend. With no strings attached at all. But we no longer talks. How did it go? How long were you friends? For a long period, since primary. Since primary, everybody goes to high school, in boarding school. Then we come back after fomfo. We are still friends. We did acting together back in Buruburu. I think now she's an air of stress at some local airline. But we don't talk like we used to talk kitambo. And for now, my best friend is my sister, my follower. Night, wherever you are, I know you're watching. But I'm not a good friend. She is my best friend. I can't say I'm a good friend. She is my best friend. I can't say I'm a good friend. I can't say I'm a good friend. She can't say I'm a good friend. What is that you have to do? I'm a good friend. But she is my best friend. My sister. Okay. No, that is special because you guys are related. But let's go back to this air of stress person now. Okay. Did you do something cheeky that made her retract? What do you mean by something cheeky? Getting progresses like what Nimo told us. Because, okay, let me get you to research. Somebody said on research, and this is science. I said science, I've been saying here since morning, that you should not contend with science. You have to spend to make sure that this works. Somebody said that men and women can't be friends. If you think you have a friend of opposite side, after reading this, you should think again. A study at the University of Wisconsin shows that friendship between men and women is fairly recent phenomenon like it's not been there. And that it's impossible to escape from moments of seduction and opposite sex tension and attraction. Little research has explored how men and women navigate platonic, cross gender relationship or friendship, which are presumed to involve either mambuna bedroom and all of that and maintains that friendship, which is presumed to... Like this ecologist is saying that it is impossible. Okay, he got to figures, this is what I was looking for. Scientists studied 88 friends' couples of the opposite sex and concluded that men were more physically and sexually attracted to their female friends and tend to overestimate how these women saw them. So he says, in a friendship between a man, a lady and a guy, men tend to think like, will one day date something like that. Did you go that direction? You know, I have a pastor friend and this pastor friend always tells me that that person whom is a lady friend of yours and you called one another best friend, mta kuja ko wa nasu kumoja. Ama, lemi me rephrase this statement. Monyotawa ni best friendi ako. The person you gave maritu is your best friend. So back to your question. About the opposite sex, that best friend of mine that I used to have, I think we used to go out sometime, maybe after our sessions we used to go out, have maybe snacks together and baby share lunch together, but it never reached a point that there were feelings for me to add her. You were taking as a friend, as a sister. Totally as a friend. Let's come back to Nimo. Nimo, about your friends. You say that sometimes they got snitchi, sometimes thinking of extra friendship things. You have told us that it was just keep off. Are you sure you didn't have any feelings about them, about going south or beyond friendship? 100% sure. He actually tried it while we were in high school, went all the way to campus. I think it's also a matter of you should know where am I supposed to be with my bestie. Don't also put him in a compromising situation. Normally we go out every Sunday after church. We go out, have fun with my sisters, my friends. That's it. I wouldn't like to find him. I will never actually want to find myself and him in a house alone, doing a movie in a bedroom or in the sofa. Or you avoid private places. Yes, avoid private places. As much as maybe at times he compliments me, he says that I have very sexy eyes. You see the statements. Thank you. But at times I also tend to tease him, but always I'm an out of person with my bestie. No indoors. Okay. There's a question that I will ask both of you. I'm happy that I have both gender and sex. At the time you have a male friend. You also have somebody you love. What is his reaction? What is his take on your friendship with a man? Of course he won't take it lightly, because I also don't spend most time with that person that I love. I spend more time with my bestie apparently. I don't know how that happens, but normally I think because I am prone to making more friends and like when you with your boyfriend there and he just wants you to be attached to him, you should be there every minute. You should just be looking at him, more attention on him really. But when I'm with my bestie, I make new friends. I meet new people. So this guy is actually jealous of your friend. Of course he is. And it's making your relationship life difficult. I currently am not relating so my bestie. Don't you think the fact that Joy, don't you think that the fact that you are not dating now has been contributed by your friend who is not your intimate partner? No, it has not been contributed by him because he actually comes with his girlfriend. Today he is like na leo bai tewe usichome nifona mungine and he is trying to please me brozone. This time he actually brozone my sister. And my sister was so furious about it. I was like, bai tewe, hello nakuja na nani. So it's like that. It's normally on trips wherever na nyuki nyeru nyahuru riro. I want your take on this before you tell us your story. You take on what Joy has been going through and the fact that she is now not dating but has a friend. Nimo has made a statement that the bestie would say that you really have beautiful eyes. And there's a song by Don Jersey. He did it sometimes, but it's called crashing on my bestie. So the moment he tells you that you really have beautiful eyes, that means that statement sounds like he is crashing on you. Yes or no? True or false? Well, I don't know. It's up to him. That's not up to me. And so you should read between the lines. Probably compliments make someone feel loved or make someone feel this feeling something on me. At least for you, it's very clear that you are now a friend to your sister. Every girl knows that. How did you call her? Your sister? Night. Everybody knows including your girlfriend that night is your sister so nothing can happen. But now this airport guy, this airport lady, did it affect your relationship? The fact that she was your friend did it in a way bring some jealousy between her and the person you were dating at that time? Of course it did. That time she is my best friend. And then let's say another guy comes in and buys her a drink or holds hands or just what gentlemen do maybe gives her a space to sit. I would feel like jealousy in me. Of course she is my best friend and there is nothing between us but when somebody else does something naskiavi baya on a get. Naskiavi baya for real. Why and she is not your... I don't know. I think this is proving a point of this research. That 80% of men he interviewed at least were having some feelings some romantic feelings towards their best friends. At least for ladies in fact there is such a justify what you told me that for her she feels that it should just be friendship but this man is making advances. This man is making advances. We are back to you don't answer my question. My question was you were in a relationship, an intimate relationship and again you have a friend. Did your girlfriend now feel something negative about your relationship with this lady the friendship with this lady you had? This best friend of mine at that time I was in a relationship with another lady. Let me just give you the story. Yes the background. The lady that I was with had a brother and the brother had studied French he was really good in French and this air hostess best friend of mine was also good in French and we were neighbors we were close neighbors where I used to live and she used to ask me kwa kina beti brada kani fundisha French kidogo kidogo before she became air hostess at that moment they were having those French classes kidogo kidogo it occurred that this lady best friend of mine alianza kukuna feelings to the brother of my girlfriend That's a complex one. Nili have to kukunene kuku wachana na she already had a girlfriend and she was my best friend as well so nili kua like after all she's just a friend so I could go of course nili kiafibaya but I just had to let it go this is funny you have completely two different stories like opposite are you dating now? right now right now it's complicated I'm not why is it that both of you have friends from opposite sex and you are not dating like now you are not in relationship I'm not getting personal but I'm trying to prove a point that cross gender relationship cross gender friendship ruins real relationship and intimate life can you justify this Nimo because he had a female friend he currently has a friend though that is her sister now he has a rather complicated relationship in real sense in practicality means he is not dating something is wrong he is from a relationship if I'm not wrong and you in fact you are calling him love my love it takes on another sweeter it means you are not dating but you have a best friend who sees you in another spectacle don't you think it is now wrong we can conclude that it is wrong to have a friend of opposite gender no it's not wrong because if my best friend makes me comfortable when I give him my secret sote I don't even feel ashamed and I say by the way Leo don't you think it is wrong to have a friend who sees you in another spectacle and I think I'm crushing on him and he feels okay now at the end of the day he will love me really and yet my love is supposed to be my other best friend but I have this best friend when I say anything is just okay with it and I just stop dating infact I don't think I'll be dating anytime soon just take your bestie if he gives me happiness or me anything I can say not really awkwardly I'm not business why live in a dramatic situation and then what's next are you sure it's okay with it are you very sure that it's okay with you telling him that you are crushing on somebody are you sure me telling who you telling your bestie that you are crushing on somebody where is commenting about your big sexy eyes and all that that's up to him I think by the way in this conversation you may have the problem ask once you focus to this it's that Shots fire is it first having the problem allow me to ask Nimo a question Nimo you have this bestie of yours that is so tight has it ever occurred has it ever come to a point that probably you are in a boutique and you are fitting some clothes and are you like you make to a poor make to a covetous visually am maybe somewhere to a point that you have to undress in front of him I have not undressed in front of him but normally compliments me shazue I'm like hello mama okutia sa hello me tomu you know we have to chanyu we have to chanyu because we are sisters we are your brothers here that guy that guy wants you to be his lover ya ya because and you are saying your mama has a problem with it you know mama is much older than you I know why don't you think your mama is right when she says that this thing is heading somewhere because I also know what I am feeling it's me falling in love are you falling in love on my behalf I don't know what I am feeling I don't know what I am feeling what do you mean ok ok let's get to another level what do you think I want to use you typically as an example both of you what people are thinking other people say relatives she has talked a lot about her mama and sister what other people thinking as you are having a friend who is not of your agenda of course other people maybe when let me use nima as an example we are holding hands in the estate going to buy skuma wama mama estate what I conclude wale wana date ama the community or relatives will always conclude these people are dating at any moment you are seen together at any moment you are walking together in the estate they just conclude that don't you think that gives you opportunity to get a lover it's 50-50 because that lady will think that's her girlfriend and maybe will shut you out when you are crashing on her already you can add them Mr. Kidemunga ok to come here peer social media matters maybe we have done selfie together on instagram and the caption will be like yesterday happy girlfriend's day see they will be like oh and I have tagged her see they will be like ano kwa kwa manziake ama tuni Arif so they will go chambuaing nimo they will chambua and chambua then will be like ah I want to nima Arif nima what do your friend thinks about your friend your other friend your classmates your uncles and aunties what do they think about you and your friend well actually there is a time I will impost not at a second post no it was a meme and then I need his name mapo kwa caption kanika jinaa ke so na kwa screenshot kwa 2 mapia ya kwa status ok so you are really well really now so how should I even start explaining kwa even if you don't have many nisa ango jenia rusi ba and you are coming with that nia mokis watu na furai wa kiyonei wacha furai you know what is happening we both know actually and we also don't put him in a situation ma liyati na feel zibaya he knows we just does he have a girlfriend he has several girlfriends he says he has several girlfriends by girlfriend I mean the person in love with whom he has intimate relationship yes intimate relationship so he has many girls so you seem straight and that's nice I am so excited and you are ok with it like bestia ko anahana see like he said he will let him I am like back to the streets please we can't vibe have you ever and I want you to be brutally honest about this have you ever felt jealous about his girlfriends not at all maybe I am cold I don't know but I have never I just don't like some girls I just feel like so you do not love your bestie I love my bestie like a brother because I don't even have a brother so you see him as a brother and how come you do not dislike the fact that he has many girlfriends I only dislike the fact that he brings some girlfriends I feel like he brings them to you for approvals we go out with them I want us to go for an outing I am bringing one of my girls I am like now which one you know is he watching I am not sure he is watching me now you try you try Mnenda out let's say Roadtree yeah the girlfriend and yourself Mimi and my sister my kazi so there is no any other male friend there and you are alone maybe they are doing their romance like kushikana mkono aktembia and you feel nothing nothing happens to you and we work together you grab the other hand the hand ya ubeshite you know when you are out you just feel like he wants to feel good so bring your hand and the girlfriend is on the other side she is so complex okay let's get back to you okay you know we are different somebody said computer girls are from Mars we are very different we are different physically emotionally everything how do we spend time as friends like what do you do with your friend with your girlfriend a girlfriend that is with no strings attached how do you spend your friendship time what do you do nime kumbuka I have a friend but she is a friend she is a lady in fact she called me the other day asking me how come she is not on WhatsApp my number had an issue she used to call me to her place for sleepover she recently lost her seas and we went for the burial and that's where we started so close to one another and we didn't spend the same bed doing nothing on bed yes absolutely nothing are you sure I am very sure I am very sure nimo is laughing tell us what you think tell us what you think I have never even heard about it because you are laughing you are laughing a lot means ok let me put it this way you are besty can you spend a night like you are spending a night with your fellow lady you feel like she was taking us as a sister and no feelings can it be possible on your side also honey room this one can't be room can't be room never I used to think so I used to think like that as well I visited the same room with the lady and nothing happens but to my shock I think we played some games some cards some fun games until around 3 am then we just slept on the same bed baka subui after that after that lalatu kwa shuka kwa subui that's a rare case I think it's one in a billion it's one in a billion very rare but it's possible ok I want to take you through something here somebody opain the ten things that guys go through if you are a girl as a best friend if you have a girl as a best friend one he said everybody thinks you are together we have discussed that everybody thinks you are dating and two he says girls at clubs assume you are taken which we have addressed then number three he says and when you explain it's just a friend we have talked about the complications of I don't know you told us your life your friendship is complicated your relationship is complicated and these people think that maybe you are friends and now people think it's complicated and number four they say all your potential girlfriends are scrutinized fast if you want a girlfriend she will have to go through her panel for approval to say we are an actress we are a panel we are a panel she has said back to the streets and then there is all number five your friends will hate her friends your friends will hate this like your male friends will hate this girl they will not like her of course they will be taking most of your time or something and then number seven your guy friends will hate on her at the young lady were your male friends sitting on your friend yes they did they did several I remember the time and you said you were jealous about it of course I felt I felt friendship some of them no but I was jealous at what extent what is the worst that you did because of this the worst yes the worst of your reactions towards you are going against them hitting on your friend I don't think in the drama maybe me and somebody else called James were like Michael is a young lady and she is a girl and Michael is a girl but I don't know I don't know tell us your friend your bestie he also has some friends who are men are they hitting on you yes they are and he is a man try your luck if you hit on her it's likely that you will get hurt and okay number eight which is explaining we are coming back to a point that we have not explained well on how what you do together the fact that we are different but now let us go to number eight number eight says you have to maintain hygiene standard when she is around you know when you have a friend you are so different you have to keep some level of hygiene because it's different did you have problems with this when you have a friend with whom you are so different you have to keep some level of hygiene because it's different what are your problems with this you know maybe if Nimo is coming to visit and Nimo is my best friend yes I don't know if Nimo is the best friend I don't know I don't know if Nimo is the best friend excuse you depends on the level of friendship but Nimo is the best friend if Nimo is the best friend he will come through he will come through if Nimo is the best friend he is the best he is the best do you have problem with the behaviour of man and your friend like when you have hygiene I see water but I don't know if Nimo is the best friend I don't know but I know if Nimo is the best friend I don't know I can't even watch my boyfriend until I am in the car but I know I don't know if Nimo is the best friend so you will see I don't know I don't know but I know if Nimo is the best friend I can't say what are friends for Sii watu sa idea ma? Nisa watu sa idea na ya osha ni osha, osha irins, Then what will we be doing as a wash? Story, where would you do your talent in kwaisha? No, I also love playing poker. And if you're not sitting down with play poker, let's do something else together. Was she supporting you kwaizo mambuza nini? She was. She was. She was very supportive. We wash your clothes and do that. That time we were still out of high school. Not washing clothes, but maybe utensils and other things. Let's come to support. It's known worldwide that these other gender are dependent. When you're close to them, they will tell you they need airtime, they need blah blah, they need lunch, they need that. Is it the same when you have a friend with no stings attached, starting with you? Was she demanding things? Was she demanding that you support her with several things? Demands are there. Demands are there. Like, aki suni pelike tahao. Lipelike sayi sayi. Kenda tahao yun na lipa fea. Yun na lipa fea. Namke fika muna henda restaurant. Muna kula chipo. Kitambut kuna kula chipo apoli thuli za 30 bopa. Wendo na lipa. Mkirudi homebari nuona mlipeha ya. Demands are there. Demands are there. Of course they are there. You will find them. Is it right? Because I think it's your girlfriend you should be treating that way like the lover now. To that lover point, maybe during her birthdays is when you're going to treat her so specially like more than a friend. You'll just treat her like more than a friend but not a girlfriend. Just a friend who is a friend. We reached number eight. So number nine says she gets you in trouble. Like you can find yourself in a fight you didn't. Najiwa watu na nachokosa tumtuku sababu akuna masuul sarahut. Pinch tuku onda. Beu na behavior ya. Kichiza wubesti ya nga watu. Tuwangam baya. Ab didzi at a point get you in any trouble. Not really. Nimo kwa ni nimu na weka watu in trouble? I think the trouble I put by besting is hanging it on Namka. I feel I'm so much in the mood. Mudia? I mean the mood I'm in a good mood. That's in Godje. Namka trust me. I'm like hi baby boy. Na emu tini is a love. How was your night? I can't miss you know. I'm at a voice note and it just feels You're flirting with your friend. It just happens once in a while. So it never happened. Maybe I'm not a girlfriend yet. So it just opens my voice note. In fact I tell him Never put me on loudspeaker. I can't put you on loudspeaker. Never. Because I can't be vulgar at any time. It happens. So I think that is the only trouble I can put by besting. And you know what? I'm not such a GA.  And you have nobody to express your mood to because we are getting to conclusion. We are getting to conclusion that having an opposite gender as your friend is bad. Because you are going to ultimately break the good relationship your friend has. And you are also not in relationship because of this.  I am in the mood to be with my besties and if you come here please don't do that. Please don't do that. Please don't do that. This girl says she can wake up someday and feel in a good mood and start sending emojis of love and I suspect she is just amatua Andi mtukiza yu lew mtu Ah! Kwa niyu leo? andi muka nukawa nukawa niya ki tanda Exactly mai po, katakapeo yukuku kuri jubile Luzu zuli, po wa yourzu begina afi But ni ki concluded ...we got in a good mood and you want to share that mood with me. Okay. Okay Nimo, say final word. This is your camera. Say final word to those who think they can have friends and keep friends of the opposite sex. One thing on this camera man. Well, yes, you can have a guy friend and zero intimacy, like I have my friend, I mentioned his name is Dave, shout out to you. Ya, so it's very much possible depending on your mindset and how you feel and what you want. So I don't find any begin. For the girls friends, you name a girl friend on poker, I am sorry if I will one day renew the relationship, I am sorry in advance. Because I am just a joyous person and I need joy everywhere I am. Okay, can you say something? Ya. I used to, I spent a lot of time on YouTube and I once watched an interview of Sanipe Itande. Sanipe Itande has a best friend by the name Joakali. He and Joakali are very good friends to a point that Joakali could visit Sanipe at her place and they watch soccer together, they play PS together and Sanipe's mom won't do anything. Sanipe's mom won't even think that there is something between Joakali and Sanipe, they are just best friends. And so what I want to say is, for you to have a, if you have a female friend or rather if you are a lady and you have a male friend, it's good just like I said in the beginning that a pastor told me that your best friend could one day be the person you'd get married to, could be. Not that he or she would be your spouse in future, but just maintain the friendship. Namasai dianem, peyana dom, peyana madenim, sa gana kulipana hao and everything. But if it works for you, if you have a friend of the opposite sex and it works for you, it's okay, carry it on. But if it has a bearing on your future, avoid it. I am very ill that my two friends are not currently dating, but they have friends of the opposite sex. If this will affect your future, please drop it. I'm going to get a side conversation with these two friends and advise them as their elder brother. So it has been a very good day. It's been a good morning since everybody who supported this, my technical team, Miriam, Rui, Sharon, everybody who made this morning show successful, shout out to you and my producers, Brenda and everybody Jeffrey. God bless you until we meet next time. Salute. You can say bye to your friends.
