A preliminary autopsy has revealed that a man that was believed to have been attacked by a bear and later died at a Fargo hospital was not the result of a bear attack. The Cass County North Dakota Medical Examiner's office found that the death of a man on July 9th was not due to a bear that the victim had an incident with days prior. According to the Cass County Sheriff's office, they received a report of a medical situation in Ponto Lake Township near Ada in rural Pine River. Authorities arrived on the scene and learned that the 70 year old male was complaining of a stomach pain. The investigation found that on July 6th the victim was attempting to scare a bear away from his yard when he was charged by another bear and was thrown into the air. There were no visible external injuries to the victim. The incident remains under investigation by the Cass County Sheriff's office and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources.

Well, thank you. I'm delighted that all of you could be here today. And I'd like to thank Senator Rudy Boschwitz for the excellent leadership that he's given the National Republican Senate Committee and his first five months as chairman. I'd also like to thank you for the, you are the Senatorial Trust members for your generous dedication of time and resources on behalf of both Republican members and candidates for the U.S. Senate. Hi, Jim. You know, Douglas MacArthur once said that the history of lost battles could be summarized in two words. Too late. Too late to see the looming danger, too late to make adequate preparation. Well, the fact all of you were here today is proof positive that you understand the meaning of that warning. I don't have to tell any of you that things have been a little tougher this year without a Republican Senate. Howard Baker can certainly testify to that, too. In earlier years, it was obviously easier to make the kind of changes we needed to end the years of malaise and economic stagnation that we inherited and to put America back on the road to economic recovery and a strong presence in the world. But you know, there's a bright side to it. First, the American people now have some firsthand experience of what it's like to have those other folks controlling the Senate. They've heard all about the new spending schemes. They've seen the unrelenting opposition to judges who are constitutionalists and tough on crime. And they know about the desire to make dangerous cuts in our defense budget. And you know what? I think the American people are a little shocked, and I also think they aren't buying any of it. Second, we need to remember we aren't talking about huge majorities. We're talking about five seats. Five seats that make the difference between going forward with our country's economic boom and a strong America abroad or returning to the days of high taxes and spending and to feeble international leadership. Now back in 1986, we knew we had a tough job ahead of us. It was an off-year election. The historical trends were against us, and it was just plain difficult to generate the kind of interest that could get voters out to the polls. And the truth is that a mere switch of a total of 42,000 votes nationwide would have kept Republican control of the Senate. But let's remember that 1988 will be a very different political year. In a presidential election, we can count on emotions being higher and the issues being more sharply defined. Issues like higher taxes and spending, like growth and opportunity, issues like stopping the construction of a Soviet colony on the Central American mainland, or keeping America a strong presence in the world. And with an election like that, one with sharply defined issues that that sparks national, broad national interest, we have a tremendous advantage and a tremendous opportunity. An opportunity to return the United States Senate to what it should be, an ally of limited government and economic prosperity at home, and of the march of world freedom all around the globe. So that's the challenge before us. I said the other day in front of the Jefferson Memorial that it's our job now to institutionalize the gains that we've made to make sure that future generations of Americans are never again shackled by a huge national debt, punitive taxation, or unnecessary government intrusion into the marketplace. I also said that we won't be content to make this a caretaker in administration, that we're going to move forward with the exciting agenda embodied in our economic Bill of Rights. This Bill of Rights puts new limitations on government's attempts to take from the people the fruits of their labor. In addition to the balanced budget amendment and the line item veto, we're asking for a super majority in the Congress for passage of tax bills. Now that has caused some squeals of protest from up there. What's wrong with it requiring more than 50% plus one to make such a move as taking more money out of your pockets. And I was governor of California. We required a two-thirds vote of the legislature just to pass the budget. And then to pass a bond issue, it took 60% of the voters to get that done. And that's true in a lot of the states. And you know the federal government would be a lot better if it had to take a look at what's going on in some of the states and copy them. That's what our country is all about, a federation of sovereign states. Well, we're also demanding new truth in spending provisions so that the Congress will be forced to acknowledge the cost of what it legislates and account to the people how it expects to pay for any new program that it's proposes. This is a strong program and it's a strong message. And if we can get it to the American people, we'll win the victory that we need and seek. And that's where all of us come in. By starting early with your candidates and our organization, you're helping to get that message to the American people. You're making it clear how vital it is that the next Republican president has a Congress he can work with. And that means a Republican-controlled Senate. I said something else out of the Jeffers Memorial that these issues were worth fighting for and that I intend to devote the rest of my public life to that effort. In the next several months, I need your help in two important areas. One is the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Robert Bork. Judge Bork is recognized by his colleagues and peers as a brilliant legal scholar and a fair-minded jurist who believes his role is to interpret the law, not make it. I hope that we can keep politics out of the confirmation process. The American people deserve a Supreme Court with nine justices operating at full strength. Incidentally, I'm sure that many of you know now that as in the highest court of appeals in the land, he had submitted decisions to the Supreme Court, 100 of them, and not one of them was ever overturned by the Supreme Court. So I think he's qualified to be there. Seriously, I want to reiterate my opposition to any tax increases. Congress insists on sending me legislation for tax increases. I will veto any bill that comes across my desk with that provision in it. You know, all this talk about that I'm responsible for the deficit now because of the cut in taxes in our economic program that has created in the last five and a half years, 13 and a half million new jobs, among other things. And if by Thanksgiving we're still having a recovery and expansion, it will be the longest expansion in our nation's history. Well, let's see what cutting taxes did do. 1981 total revenue from the income tax was $289.1 billion. By 1985, you remember that our tax cuts were phased in over a couple of years, so it was about 1983 before they were fully effective. And by 1985, the revenue from the income tax wasn't $284 billion. It was $328.7 billion at the lower rates. Reminds me one of my favorite philosophers of all time was a man named Eben Kaldun. A few hundred years ago, I don't know what else he said, but I do know this. He said, in the beginning of the empire, the rates were small and the revenues were great. In the end of the empire, the rates were great and the revenues were small. Well, we're not going to make that mistake. But so in addition to telling all of you that I'm grateful to you for what you're doing, I also want you to know that I'll be with your body and soul in 1988. And I'll do everything in my power to ensure that a Republican president is elected and that we regain a Republican majority in the United States Senate. As we take our case to the people in 88, believe me, I'll be there with you at your side. So let's remember something else that Douglas McArthur said. There is no substitute for victory. Now, do you want to know what's important in this and what you're doing? Do you realize that in the last more than half a century, there have only been a Republican majority in both houses of the Congress four out of that more than 50 years? And only two of those four were for a Republican president. Every Republican president until I got here has, except for that two years during Eisenhower's term, has served with a Democratic Congress majority in both houses. And the Democratic presidents have all had Democratic Congresses in both houses, except for one two year period in Truman's regime. Now, since I've been here, I've had one house for six years, but now we're back to two houses the other way. And that's the way that will finish out my term. So in something like 56, seven years, only six years of both houses of the Congress being Republican. Now, I don't think that's what the Constitution means by checks and balances. I think it's about time we educated the people that the only two people in Washington that are chosen by all the people are the president and the vice president. And after the people choose them, don't you think they ought to be reminded that they ought to give them a Congress not to hinder them in what they're going to do, but to help them? Well, I can't wait to get back out there in a mashed potato circuit. Well, listen, God bless you all and thank you all. And they've got me a little heavy scheduled, so I'm not going to be able to stay and read all of you's I'd like and have to make my way upstairs for a change of uniform and beyond my way again. But God bless you all. You're very special in what you're doing.


Hello friends, myself Sanjeev B and I, working as assistant professor in Department of Mechanical Engineering, WALCHER Institute of Technology, Solapor. In this video I am explaining welded joints. At the end of the session, students will be able to classify welded joints and they will also be able to select the proper joint according to the application. Welding is a process of joining metallic parts by heating to suitable temperature with or without the application of pressure. Welding is a very economical and efficient method for obtaining a permanent joint of metallic parts. Not all the other methods to obtain permanent joint is riveted joint but which is more cumbersome than this method. So welding is the most economical and efficient method for obtaining the permanent joint. Welding can be obtained by two processes. One is the fusion welding in which the parts to be joined are held in position and molten metal is supplied to the joint. The molten metal can come either from the parts themselves called the parent metal or it can be supplied by a filler metal. After solidification of the joint the two parts fuse into a single unit. Pause the video for a while and just recall galactic arc welding and gas welding. The another process of welding is the forge welding in which the parts are heated to reach the plastic stage and the joint is produced by impact force. The impact force is produced either by a hand hammer or a press. Rot iron or low carbon steel can be forged welded. However, this process has got very limited use in present times. It is used in the fabrication of rot iron pipes. The welded joints are broadly classified into two groups that is the butt joints and fillet joints. So this is the butt joint in which the two parts are lying in the same plane and they are connected at the end by a fillet butt weld as shown over here and symbolically it is shown by this figure. So this is the butt joint which is produced to connect two parts at the ends by preparing the ends as a groove here over here and molten metal is supplied to the joint and joint is prepared. So this is the butt joint.  The application of these joints are depending upon the plate thickness as shown over here. Square butt joint is used when the thickness is less than 5 mm, v butt joint is used when the thickness is between 5 to 25 mm, u butt joint is used when thickness is greater than 20 mm and double v butt joint is used when thickness is greater than 30 mm. So according to the plate thickness and the reliability requirement v butt joints are commonly used for pressure vessels as they are more reliable. Another type of joint is fillet weld. So in this case the two overlapping plates are joined by fillet weld at the corner which is a triangular in section as shown over here and symbolically it is been represented like this. So further it is classified as a transverse fillet weld as shown over here and it is a parallel fillet weld shown over here. In transverse fillet weld the weld section is perpendicular to the load acting on the joint as shown over here. So it is a single transverse fillet weld whereas one more transverse fillet weld if it has this side then it becomes a double transverse fillet weld. In case of parallel fillet weld the weld section is parallel to the load acting on the joint. So here is a joint where the load is acting parallel to the weld section and there are two fillets. So it is a double parallel fillet weld which is used in practice. So another types of fillet welds are T joint in which two perpendicular plates are connected like this resembling the T letter as such. So it is called the T joint and corner joint is provided for plates to join which are perpendicular to each other at the corner fillet weld is produced and in edge joint two overlapping parts are connected at the edge as shown over here. So these are some other types of fillet joints used in the practice. Welded joints offer a lot of advantages over riveted joints. So these are lighter than riveted joints. In case of riveted joints we require additional elements called rivets which are number of rivets to be used along the length of the joint and that is why the overall weight of the riveted joint is higher compared to the welded joints. So welded joints are lighter compared to riveted joints. These are less costly. Alterations and additions are easily possible. This is another advantage of welded joints. So additions are easily done in existing structure by welding. The welded structure has smooth and pleasant appearance. This is another advantage of the welded joint that it gives a smooth and pleasant appearance. In case of riveted and bolted joints the additional projections are there on the surfaces whereas in this case such projections will not be there and one can match the smoothness of the surface as per the requirement and that is why it has got pleasant appearance. The strength of the welded joint is high because the parent metals are normally fused together to get a welded joint. So strength is also higher. Welded assemblies are tight and leak proof that is additional important advantage of this welded joint as compared with riveted assemblies and that is why they are extensively used in pressure vessels. The production time is less for welded assemblies so manufacturing is at faster rate in case of welded assemblies. When two parts are joined by the riveted method the holes are required to be drilled in the parts to accommodate the rivets and that reduces the cross-sectional area as well it results in stress concentration. Such requirement is not there in case of welded joint. There is no such problem in welded connection. However there are certain disadvantages of welded joint. The important disadvantage is a thermal distortion or warping of the parts. As in welding localized heating and the joint is important and because of that unequal cooling of the parts near the vicinity may occur and that leads further distortion or warping of the parts as an disadvantage. Vibration dampening is also poor that is resistance to vibration or vibration absorption capacity is very less in case of welded joints and that is why they cannot be used as a structural element or structural requirement in case of vibrations are present or expected. The quality and strength of the welded joints depends upon the skill of the welder. So welding is a process required to be carried out by a skilled worker called a welder so that the strength and quality can be obtained. The inspection of the welded joint is more specialized and costly because by naked eye many times the cracks in the weld section may not be detected and that is why some special techniques called as X-ray techniques or X-ray machine is used to detect the cracks particularly in pressure vessels where the reliability of the joint is very important in such case the 100% inspection is required for the weld section and in such case the X-rays machines are used or technique is used which is costly. Welded joints have got lot of applications particularly in steel structures so we find that almost all steel structures majority is fabrication work in which we use the welded joints and we find the application as connections between metal plates, angles, pipes and other structural elements are frequently made by welding. Imagine a huge ship structure it is also been a welded structure pressure vessels particularly tanks of the boilers and tanks these are been obtained by welded joints particularly butt welded joints and other steel structures like welding bridges, shades, automobile bodies, railway wagons, machine cramps etc. or even in furniture we use the welded joints. So application of welded joints is very large as an industrial application so they are most popular type of permanent joints used in the industries. These are my references. Thank you.


Live from Las Vegas, Nevada, it's The Cube at IBM Edge 2014. Brought to you by IBM. Now here are your hosts, Dave Vellante and Stu Miniman. Welcome back to Las Vegas, everybody. This is The Cube. The Cube is covering IBM Edge. This is our third year doing IBM Edge. We have been doing a lot of the events this year. We were just at OpenStack last week. We're at EMC World the week before. We've got all kinds of events coming up. This is day one of IBM Edge. Edge is a conference really focused on storage and other adjacencies. Kind of systems and technology group. Little bit of big data worked in. We're hearing some Watson drafting going on, but really is a storage show. A lot of IT practitioners, partners, consultants, analysts, vloggers and the like. Robert Moniz is here as the Vice President General Manager of Glasshouse Systems. The winner of the Winning Edge Award for the second year in a row, Robert. Welcome to The Cube and congratulations. Thanks, Dave. So Winning Edge, the award goes to the best partner. Right? Is that the deal? Yes, I'd like to believe that. I think that it's recognition for continued performance in the marketplace for selling storage, helping customers in that area. If we listen to Paulo announce the preamble prior to the award. It was really around coupling that around technical competency. That's an area of our business that we take very seriously and one that has helped our customers tremendously. Glasshouse employs a very unique methodology in terms of having a lot of technical skill, a really deep technical bench. And it's nice to be recognized for those investments. Not only in helping our customers, but seeing how IBM appreciates that as well. So you were saying off camera, you guys are largely a group of ex-SEs. Correct. So SEs, you know, rock star system engineers, right? That actually are heavily involved in the defining customer requirements and fulfilling customer requirements. I mean, not a lot of things are sold without the SEs involvement, right? Absolutely. Our SEs are former IBM Redbook contributors. A lot of our sales staff are former SEs or systems engineers. Our entire management team is made up of former systems engineers. So customers can expect a very consultative, methodical, patient approach to understanding the requirements, you know, building architectures and solutions around what their lines of businesses are trying to achieve. And also in the design process, employing a design that is not that disruptive to what they've previously invested in. So we try to do the soft change, maximize the client's return on investment and try to do more with less. Really try to preserve what they have, integrate what they need to do into what they have and then add on any ancillary equipment or solutions that they need to acquire. So, you know, when you look at storage requirements and you talk to customers, we talk to a lot of customers and you know, sometimes the requirements are kind of boring. When you go to conferences like this, it's exciting. You've got software defined, you've got flash, you've got disruption, big data cloud, mobile, social. When you talk to customers, they're like, my budget's getting cut or it's flat. I got to do more with less. I'm trying to figure out in how to meet the SLA requirements of the business. You know, I got all these old applications that I'm supporting. Help me. So you got the sort of vendor buzz at this end of the spectrum. You got the customer pain in this end of the spectrum. Is the truth somewhere in the middle or is it more sort of where the customers are? It absolutely is. The trick to storage is really, there's usually more than one approach that could solve the problem. What we pride ourselves on is taking a step back and looking through the customer lens. Really, you know, it gets back to, what is it that they're really trying to achieve? Starting with line of business, right? Because that data, or the data that they're trying to leverage is the most critical piece of their business. So it's not about, and it shouldn't be about the lowest cost per terabyte. It's really access, it's really value. Is it good data? Is it tainted data? And then protecting that data. So back to our technical competence in terms of working with clients, it's really around, and I tend to disagree, it's not really boring. It's sifting through everything that's available there to understand, because it's actually really exciting. I would say it was boring 10 years ago when it was just discontainment. Today, with software-defined storage infrastructures and cloud and off-prem and on-prem, it's really sitting down and working with clients to understand not only what they're trying to satisfy today, but will that investment last through the life of the lease or the life of the application so that they can leverage that for the next go-around? So how do you guys get paid? Obviously, a reselling product, that's fine, but you're also doing a lot of consulting. Is that upfront loss leader? Are you getting paid for those types of services? Are you doing design, implementation? It's a bit of both. We do provide, storage requires a lot of pre-sales technical support. We do have clients that will pay for those services because they're a non-IBM infrastructure shop today, but they understand that we get that type of architecture and that we can help them minimize cost and increase performance or optimize, and reduce square footage, cooling, all of that. And then we have other engagements where that's just part of the sale cycle. It's part of the value that we bring as part of doing business with Glasshouse. So my last question, I'll turn it over to Stu, is how much are you getting pulled into specific application and workload areas of expertise, whether it's SAP, Microsoft, maybe VMware, Oracle, is that something that's tugging at you? Yeah, it is. We support some of the largest SAP clients in North America, and SAP itself is changing in what they're requiring their customers to do. So we work with our clients through some of those changes, in Oracle as well, on the server side and the application side. So we will work with those customers to optimize how those other vendors' products will sit on storage. So, Robert, let me dig in on that Hanna piece a little bit. SAP finally supporting virtualized Hanna. Is that a conversation you're having with your customers? How big of a deal is that? It is, because we also resell Hanna as part of being an IBM reseller. So it's clear that SAP want all their customers to run on Hanna, but Hanna's not the only technology out there for inline memory analytics. So if a customer's heavily invested in Hanna, we'll continue to work with them to protect those investments. If a customer has not yet embraced Hanna, but want to perform due diligence on how do I run analytics against my SAP databases, we'll sit down and we'll take them through it. All right, so when we were talking about software defined storage, I think last year it felt like there were a lot of buzzwords and it sounds like you're saying that it's becoming a real dialogue today. Obviously IBM had a lot of announcements over the last month or so. Walk us through, what's the conversation you're having? What's the pain point that this is filling for customers? Where are we? I think the pain point around software defined storage infrastructures will be working with clients to set up the processes for defining that automation. Do they really need to understand today how they want to automate those tasks so that they can free up those resources to do other things that can actually bring value as opposed to time spent keywacking redundant tasks? Yeah, so in that transformation from just kind of keeping the lights on, doing all that manual work, are you working with your clients as to how they create more business value, shift some of their workforce, create more innovation? And as a managed service provider, we're actually helping some of our clients in that regard by taking some of those mundane tasks away so that they can take those higher value resources and redeploy them back to line of business. Okay, great, so I didn't realize you're an MSP too. What are some of the key applications? What are the early wins that you're getting that a lot of customers are using? Today it's really on-prem for the customer. We will manage a lot of back office stuff for the client. Typically clients will still hold title to those assets and we just provide a lot of the care and feeding over a wire so that they can, as I said, redeploy those resources for more meaningful tasks. So, I'm a customer, maybe I'm an IBM shop, maybe I'm not, let's say I'm not. Come in and say, all right, everybody's coming in every week, I got a new vendor coming in, each piece coming in, EMC's coming in, everybody's talking about software to find. What differentiates IBM's software to find strategy and consequently your services as a partner? Because I'm going to work with you, I'm not going to work directly with IBM and buy from you. What differentiates what you guys are doing from everybody else in the crowd? Well, I like to think that we're working within your timelines with what the client's willing to spend and really being your advocate, being your trusted advisor. We're not product pushers, we're not pushing or selling the flavor of the day. If it comes back to the consultancy, coming back to working backwards from a customer's requirements and understanding what you're trying to achieve and understanding if that product's the right fit and if it's not, we'll tell you. So, will you utilize other products, not IBM products or not necessarily? No, we're an IBM only reseller today. Okay, so you'll just say, hey, it's not a right fit. Maybe you should talk to another reseller. Correct. So, talk about an example of a typical consultant, analyst, give me a typical. But give us a typical situation with the customer. In terms of, you mentioned some parameters, right? They're trying to cut costs, they're trying to do more with less. They're looking at new ways of doing things, but they don't want massive disruption. You're starting with their business. I wonder if you could, name names are not, it doesn't matter, but maybe even generically, talk about a particular industry where you're helped a customer solve a particular problem and talk about what the outcome was. Well, it's interesting. We actually, we cover a lot of industries, from retail to small, medium, large government, federal governments. We have a lot of insurance, both general and life. And the interesting thing at Glasshouse is because we participate in all those industries, some are leaders and others are laggers in terms of adopting some of the optimization around storage. So, I would say that retail is out front in terms of really trying to differentiate themselves with technology and the value of their data. And some of the other industries are more wait and see, let somebody else build something first. So a typical engagement would vary by industry. I would say that the Type B personality insurance company is going to be very nervous about change. So in that type of customer situation, we're going to be very sensitive to disruption. We will be very cognizant of what they've previously spent, whether there's still book value on those systems, how we can leverage frames and existing processors to maybe just introduce virtualization and optimization. Maybe it's just services that they require because they've got more than they can chew. For a retail customer, it's really going to be about acquiring something they don't currently have today to give them that edge. And that one is a bit more challenging because there's so much out there to choose from. So it's sitting down, working backwards from what they're trying to achieve and understanding how quickly do they need to get that on the ground. Yeah, it's interesting, right? Virtually every retail company has Amazon breathing down their neck in some way, shape, or form. Folks, should I go do public cloud too? Should I try to replicate that in-house? Am I going to get this intermediate? And in government, I don't know what Ottawa is like, but there was certainly a craze in the United States and it's probably continuing on cloud first, right? Meaning public cloud first. So insurance companies, as you say, they got very complex application portfolios. Their average applications are probably more than 20 years old, right? So they can't afford a lot of disruption and they've got the annuity anyway, so don't, it's not broken, so don't try to fix it. So what about the public cloud? How does that fit in to your portfolio? Is it a software play? It is, we are a software reseller today. We see a fit for it in our customer base. I think long-term, we'll see what IBM has predicted and what we kind of anticipated, which is not everything's in go off-prem public cloud. There are workloads that make sense for that, email, some file data that you don't need access to, that only a few people really need for a very fixed period of time. We see the trend towards hybrid, some off-prem public cloud, some on-prem private clouds, and then your discrete systems that run high-value workloads. So for an insurance company, as an example, they have a lot of legacy data that's not federated. You as a client call in, you may have your home policy on one system and your auto policy on another system. How do you, as a customer, get treated by that insurance company when you're dealing with them? So Robert, when you talk about the hybrid cloud, one of the things that IBM positions is that you can get a single vendor with a very similar environment between your on-prem and your off-prem. How important do you see that for your insurance? Oh, I think that's very important, and that's why we've decided to focus strictly on IBM. We wanted to partner with the best in the industry, and I think IBM's figured that out. IBM does a very good job of thinking customer first and thinking customer first long-term. So with IBM's acquisition of Soft Flare and the suite of products that they've put around that, I think IBM's well positioned to lead moving forward. Yeah, it's interesting, we did a survey a year ago and we asked users if that was important to them, and the majority of them said yes, but of course they've asked them what they had. They tended to have usually a VMware environment in-house and they had AWS in the public cloud. So when you go to the IT shop and say, would you like that at GS, but we get down to the details, it's sometimes difficult to get that down to a single environment. Access in any industry comes down to simplicity and packaging. So IBM will be very good at packaging this thing and making it very easy to access and deploy. What are you seeing with so-called shadow IT? Pardon? So-called shadow IT.  What are you seeing there? How do you participate or co-locate with that type of activity? Do you sort of embrace it? Do you sort of watch it? Do you advise against it? Do you hybridize it? How do you approach it? We actually embrace it. For a long time we've been helping customers with Linux on the mainframe and that typically gets started as a Skunkworks project. But we embrace it with a caveat, which is are you introducing risks to your company? So we try to make customers aware that there is that capability to do, well, case in point, we have an innovation center, so we have a data center within our headquarters where we take part in a lot of IBM's leading demo programs. So Flash, the new Wave products, often before they're even generally available. So we'll work with clients to build those Skunkworks projects, but not on their prem, on our prem. And we'll demo it for them. And we're excited by their energy in terms of going off and doing that stuff. And we fully appreciate sometimes it's difficult dealing with IT because different folks, different budgets, different constraints, so we try to satisfy those needs and those energies by leveraging our demo equipment. But if a customer comes and you say, I want to go, we want to put some test dev stuff, we want to spin up a few instances on Amazon. Can you help us? You would say, first of all, say, well, why Amazon? What do you do? We would ask them what's drawn them to Amazon. What are your objectives? Correct, we would work with them on, have you considered soft cloud? We would price that out for them. We would take those requirements. And probably at that point, they would be indifferent. So wait, so you would compete with software? No, no, we resell software. No, I'm saying you would compete in that situation with Amazon with a software alternative. You would not turn around and say, okay, hey, today we'll do Amazon, but tomorrow we might do HP cloud. That will do, you say, you're essentially selling, reselling an IBM solution. So the club in our bag would be the software club. But it would be based on principles and requirements that they have for that particular application. Got it. So we would ask them, can it be off-prem? Because software today is off-prem. Can it be virtualized? Is it an x86 workload?  And then if it is, typically it would come down to a pricing exercise between Amazon and software. Who do you sell to? Is it the storage team? Is it the CIO combination of people? All of the above. We have relationships at the ground level, you know, the systems program level, right up to CIOs and VPs of lines of business. It really depends. Ideally, every reseller, every solution provider wants to get as high within the organization as possible. The budgets are shifting. It's really mastering the CXO suite. And that's not easy to do. And it's not easy to do without upsetting relationships that you held or have nurtured below for many years. So it's part of our evolution, but we typically, we're very strong in the data center. We're very strong in the infrastructure at the CIO's office and below. And how about the application heads? Within specific industries, yes. Stronger and some weaker. Which industries? Insurance, for sure. Finance, health, healthcare within federal government. I mean, those guys got a lot of juice, obviously. Typically. We're focused on a large enterprise. Yeah, great. All right, Robert, well listen, thanks very much for coming to theCUBE. Congratulations on winning the Winning Edge Partner Award for the second year in a row. Well done. Thank you very much. And appreciate your time. Okay, keep it right there, everybody. Stu and I will be back with our next guest. We're live. This is theCUBE. We're at IBM Edge. We'll be right back.


فشرف بالاشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دا دا دا لا وياله من شراف عظيم الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل واشدوى الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل واشدوى النسيدنا ونبينا محمد صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وأصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى today we're going to start the explanation of the book التبيان التبيان في آداب حملت القرآن written by الإمام العلمة المجتهد محي الدين أبي زكرية يحيب شرف النووي رحمه الله وتعالى الإمام النووي رحمه الله his biography مفصلاً in details I have previously once spoken about it and I believe الإمام النووي's life is not one that deserves to be spoken in 5 to 10 minutes or 20 minutes it deserves a whole days lesson but because we're really restricted with the time and if we carry on going into his biography in details we will not be able to cover the book and the book is quite big and we only have 3 days to finish it in but الإمام النووي رحمه الله وتعالى his name is محي الدين أبي زكرية يحيبنو شرفي ابنو مري ابنو حسن ابنو حسين ابنو محمد ابنو جمعة ابنو حزام الإمام النووي is a great scholar from the scholars of Islam and he was a Rabbani he was one who nurtured the people upon the basic knowledge before he spoke to them about before he had spoken to them about any major knowledge he was a godly scholar as they say he was a Hafid faqi he reached a high level in hadith and he reached a high level in fiq he was a sheikh of Islam of his time and even after his time and he was from the Ulama who implemented the knowledge which they had and he was truly grounded he was مئمة الرسخين he was from the scholars who were grounded in their knowledge and he was from the awliya of Allah SWT he was from the allies of Allah SWT and now he was added to the list of the zuhad the jurists he was a jurist so he was sorry he was added to the list of the zuhad the aesthetic ones who were aesthetic who left this world and إمام النووي with his knowledge and his ورع ورع meaning staying away from the doubtful matters he has not been found in any one the way Allah SWT brought it for him his knowledge and his ورع it was said that he used to live in دمشق and دمشق was a place where people used to travel to because of the greenery that دمشق offered and the fruits that دمشق had إمام النووي رحمه الله تعالى he did not want to eat the fruits of the land دمشق فَكَانَ لَا يَا قُولُ مِنْ فَوَاكِ دِمشقِ he never used to eat from it because the gardens and the fruits of دمشق for him there was a doubt in whether it was permissible the way that the people were trading it the bayan buying and selling which the people used to do was a doubtful issue for him so he left off in totality using what eating sorry the fruits of the دمشق and that shows you what ورح so his father used to send him food from outside دمشق and he used to wait for that fruit to arrive to him and that's where he used to eat it was said that as a young kid امام النووي رحمه الله as a young kid he would you call it did not like playing with the kids he would find a trouble when the kids would come and they would put him and they would take him to play he wouldn't like the idea he was امام رمب المعروف the one who called to the good ناهيين عن المنكر he used to prohibit the people from the evil رحمه الله وتعالى the leader of his time he prohibited him from so many things at his time he went into his قلع his palace and he sat with him and he told him what he was doing was wrong and the leader used to say انا لا اخاف إلا من هادن النووي I don't fear anyone except this نووي the leader used to say so he was a person whose presence was felt he was an individual مراقبة لله عز وجل he used to fear الله سبحانه وتعالى in his private sittings and in his public sittings رحمه الله وتعالى نووي رحمه الله one thing شهد له الأمة the Ummah of Unanimous he agreed for him on is اخلاص وإرادة وش الله how he was a sincere individual and he intended the face of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and we all know his book اربعين النووية is a book that's studied and it's suit right after a person memorizes the Quran it's 40 حديث he brought them together and now when you look at the people they memorize it it's rare that you go to a house except you find اربعين النووية there whether in Arabic or in English or in French or in Dutch you find that book his other book which is رياضخ صالحين again you rarely go to a house except you find this book whether the person is old or they're young or that they've just about heard نووي and this my beloved brothers and sisters is a sign of a class sincerity when a person is مخلص and he does something ابتغاء اواجه الله he's seeking Allah's face سبحانه وتعالى he does it for Allah alone and then Allah سبحانه وتعالى this is قبول accept us on the face of this earth for him الامام النووي he read and he memorized the كتاب التنبيه and he memorized it in 4 months he memorized also the مهدب بابيس حق الشيارازي which he explained himself in his كتاب المجموح which is a shabah of the كتاب المهدب بابيس حق الشيارازي الامام النووي each day he would study 12 subjects daily نووي we used to do 12 subjects this studying was شرحا وتصحيحا he would basically correct his publication okay and the copy which he had he would write explanation of the teacher on it رحمه الله وتعالى and he studied a lesson الوسط بابيحمد الغزالي أنا درسي الامام النووي بابيس حق الشيارازي اسماء الرجال صحيح المسلم اللومع لبن الجني درسا إسلاحي المنطق بابي ابن ابن السكيت درس انتصريف صرف إنه صور الفق وصمتان زي قبي اللومع بابيس حق الشيارازي أنا إسمتان زي بيدا متقب بابي فخردين الرازي هل تكن إن عقيده يستدد كتاب الإرشان بابي امام الحرامين اللوكوري بابيس حق الشيارازي 12 different تكنيكو subjects واني سلوة كنتوا عاليكو بيتعلق بذلك من الفوائق every benefit that came in that class I would write a benefit in it 12 subjects today regularly nonstop and I would write the benefit that comes from the teacher I would write it and today if you if the teacher teaches more than 1 subject or sorry 2 subjects more than 2 subjects this students are complaining they're complaining و that's why I made my mind to study medicine. So he embarked on that. He went out of his way to study medicine. And he said I bought myself the Kitab Al-Qanun by Ibn Sina. I bought it to Aqarahu so I can read it. And he said when I read it in the book because it filled with so much disbelief. وled I read it it darkened my heart وبقيت أيد구요 and I memories لاشتغل بالشيء and I could not busy myself with anything it preoccupied my heart and my mind So he said I made the decision that it was this book that was bringing the darkness into my heart so he said I went I sold it straight away Imagine those who take Harry Potter and read it and memorize it What about those people who watch film and movies those who spend their time do those things and they want to be students of knowledge you need to question yourself you have to ask yourself the same question are you actually doing the part to seek knowledge now we just read one book which had all of this in it and he felt that he could not be able to study and Imam Al-Nuwi took knowledge from the scholars and his people he took knowledge from the people of his time and he took from so many teachers but from one of the most famous teachers which he took from is Al-Alamah جمال الدين أبو عبدالله محمد إبنو عبدالله إبنو ماليك the great chromarian إبنو ماليك was the teacher of Imam Al-Nuwi the great scholar of Ramah whose الفية we study الفية to Imam Al-Nuwi was the teacher of Imam Al-Nuwi his students are so much in Nabba again we'll just take one علاق الدين إبنو عطار who actually wrote a thick biography of his teacher علاق الدين إبنو عطار who was really close with the sheikh رحمه الله and took a lot of knowledge from him علاق الدين إبنو عطار and he actually written a whole biography of the author رحمه الله ورحمة الواسعة so I ask you students to go and to to go and see the biography that was written regarding him علاق الدين إبنو عطار he set a story one time he said when Noah who came to him Noah wrote something علاق الدين العطار got hold of it and he used to read it علاق الدين أبر القطار I don't want you to give this wherever you've gotten from me my writings you're not allowed to give it out keep it with you and destroy it علاق الدين made a promise with Noah going to destroy that particular work of Naue and he said it was very hard for me to do so because the benefits and the knowledge that I was in that I took a cover and an oath with him so he said I took it and I burnt it I took it and I burnt it so Naue and Alaw deel like Atali but Atali is very close to his teacher so he actually wrote a biography for him show great quality of his knowledge he wrote a book hole he mentioned with a modern book many a book he mentioned his position and his knowledge he wrote book hole book screen and he died atdad انه لقد رمع في كتاب الب يوع اخناه كتاب الب يوع الكتاب الب يوع انه لم يجب يقدر من يوم انه هن hayat صحيح ومسلم فمممئة انه يؤمن انه هو كتاب كاتب يهديبه السمائي واللغات بألئنسهر انه يصمر يوم انه هو كتاب الشرح فمرسل في صحوح البهغاري انه هو رحم الله إنه يزبقه التقريب والتيسير وهي الشرح جلال الدين السيوتي تدريب الراوي تدريب الراوي بالسيوتي إنه الشرح بالتقريب والتيسير رتبع النووي رحمه الله تعالى يأتي الروت رياضي الصالحين الأربعين النووية الأذكار المناسك يأتي أي شرح على الوسط وهي كود التنقيح رحمه الله يأتي أي شرح على الوسط يأتي أي مستار والعريفين يأتي أي رصول والظوابط الرؤوس المسائل المقاسي مناره الحوالد يأتي أي مدينة يسترح بعمل معطار ويأتي أي مدينة ويأتي أي حاجات يأتي أي مدينة يأتي أي تقريب بيحقث كتاب بلاقي بشافعي يسامرها ويأتي أي مدينة و بل بل يفكت المدينة و يأتي من درسة المتفكرة التي تكلمونها التي يتذكرونها في أدابي حملت القرآن يجب أن يكون على إذكار و يتكلمون عن علمات السلام إذكار ناوي رحمه الله كان فرصة، فرصة فرصة جداً فرصة جداً و فرصة كبيرة في نصفه كان فرصة بوضعة و لم يكن بوضعة و يأتي بكثيره و كان يأخذه و إمام النوى رحمه الله يسمعه يمكن أن يكون قد يقوله نووي و يمكن أن يقوله نووي يمكن أن يقوله نووي و يوجد مكان where رحمه الله تعالى يموت فيه which is نوى and that's where he's originally from anyways he died there next to his father رحمه الله رحمة الواسعة and if I told you the age that he died on you'd be gobsmacked he died at the age of 45 and the man who knows only 45 years of age when he died and he's from the علماء العزاب الذين أثروا العلمة على الزواج he gave presidents to knowledge over he gave presidents to knowledge over marriage now he never married and he had no wives no did he have any children he gave knowledge presidents over over marriage so insha'Allah و تعالى without any further ado we'll carry on the Kitab as I said before now with life we spoke about it before and this Kitab that I already told you which is written by ابن عطار who already spoke about it now with it you can go and read it from there insha'Allah و تعالى the author رحمه الله he started by saying بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم و به نستعيين ربي يسر وعين now this is not something written by the author himself بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم بسم الله الرحيم بسم الله الرحيم و به نستعينه و إن الله we seek aid and help ربي يسر و الله make it easy for us وعين and help us this is make easy for us and help us this is from the the editor of the book okay قال الشيخ الإيمام العالم الزاهد الطابط المتقن المحقق أبو زكرية يحببن شرف منه مره ابن مري ابن مري النووي و رحمه الله تعالى الحمد لله الكريم المناني ذي الطول والفضل والحسان الذي هدانا للإيمان وفضل لدينا على سائل لديان ومن علينا بإرسانه إلينا أكرم خلقي عليه و أفضل لهم لديه حبيبه و خليله و عبده و رسوله محمد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم فما حابي إبادة لوثان و أكرمه صلى الله عليه وسلم بالقرآن المعجزة المستمرة على تعاقب على تعاقب الأزمال التي تحدى بالجن والإنسة بيجمعهم وأفحب بها جميع أهل الزيغ والطغيان وجعله ربيعا وجعله ربيعا لقلوب أهل المصائر والعرفاء لا يخلق جاء يخلق و على كثرة التردد و تغاي للأحيان و يسره للذيك حتى استظهره صغارا والدان و يخلوص السيد حتى استظهره صغارا والدان و ضمن أحفظه من تطرق التغيير إليه والحدثان وهو محفوظ محمد الله و فضري مختلف الملوان و وفق للإعتلاع بعلونه من استفاه من أهل الحضق واللتقال فجمعوا فيها من كل فن ما تنشرح له صدر أهل الإيقال أحمده موسا على لعمة الإيمان وسله المنة علي و على جميع حباب و زائر المسلمين بالرضوان و شدوا لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له شهادة محصلة للوفران منقظة صاحبها من النيران موسلة له إلى سقن الجنان و شدوا المحمد العبده و رسوله الداعي و عظمه ما تعاقب الجديدان أو you can say some of the نسخ say و عظمه ما تعاقب الجديدان that's what it says both copies right say now الشيخ the jurist the another you go إيمان the pious the aesthetic the scrupulous the proficient عبد الزكرية محيدين يحيائب شرافي بالحزام and knowing may Allah they all they didn't say any of that and he wouldn't say that about himself to praise himself and to call himself الشيخ الإيمان العالم الضعب المتقن المحقق that's all written by and said the editor said that now all praise is due to Allah the most generous the all given the owner of bounty virtue and benevolence the one who guided us to faith this is a virtue إسم الله that we need to praise him for and the one who guided us to إيمان and gave our religion preference over other religions إسلام is the best of all religions الله gave إسلام that which he has not given any other religion وما يبت غير الإسلام يدين من فرين يقبل منه و هو في الأخرة من الخاصرين and then the religion which Allah accepts and the religion that is the greatest over all other religions is what الإسلام and further show his blessings upon us by sending to us the most honorable and best of all his creation his beloved his cherished friend his slave his messenger Muhammad made a peace and blessings of Allah be upon him إسلام and also the extra additional blessings which he has bestowed upon us is what that he has sent onto us نبي الله محمد عليه السلام as a Prophet and the author said هو حبيبه وخليله. هو الله حبيب. وهي أيضا الله سبحانه وتعالى. هو الله سبحانه وتعالى خليه. صلى الله عليه وسلم. خليه يعني أنه أصدقائي جدا. ومسيجة. أنه يجب أن تردك the worship of idols and further honored him with the Qur'an. فمحابي عبادة الأوثان. through the prophet Allah eradicated. He got rid of. He wiped shirk. An idol worship. And Allah then honored the messenger further with what? بالقرآن. And he said if they used to say, low and pathetic is a person who sees blessings in food and drinking. All he sees blessings is الطعب و الشراب. That's not what that's not what blessings are. The blessing is that a person realizes نعمة الإسلام والإيمان. The perfect miracle for every age and time. المعجزة مستمرة. The Qur'an came to the prophets with the signs. فلصرمة وجئتنا بحكي من غير من سرم. The signs of all that has passed يبينه لجمال العتق والقدم. Every prophet came with a miracle. And every prophet's miracle died when that prophet died, right? Our prophet, on the other hand, his miracle carried on until he, صلى الله عليه وسلم, died. Until the day of judgment. This miracle does not stop. So we have it with us. فأتوب عشري سوري. Come with 10 verses like it. Come even with one sura like it. If you are truthful in your claim. A miracle he challenged all of mankind and the jinn to reduce anything like and by which he vanished and computed those who chose to stray and transgress through irrefutable arguments and clear evidences. Moreover, Allah has made the Qur'an the life of the hearts of those who have knowledge and understanding. Neither it's repeated recitation nor the changing of the times causes its beauty or magnificence to fade. He has made this memorization so easy that even children have memorized it all. The Qur'an is from the miracles of the Qur'an that a person can actually read the Qur'an as a child and memorize it. This is from what? It's from the معجزات of the Qur'an. The repetition of reading the Qur'an also it doesn't wear out the Qur'an. The more you read the Qur'an, the more it shines for you. كلما طال المدى جددد يبينهن جمال العطل القديم. As time goes on, its gems and its jewels just increases and it grows. It even shines more the Qur'an. Whereas other things when you read it once or twice okay, that's it. It's finished. You don't really want to do it. You know we don't read a book more than twice do you? It's boring now. But the Qur'an, you read it every time something new comes out from it. The little children are made it's made easy for them to memorize it. And has guaranteed its preservation against change or distortion. This Qur'an is protected وإنه لحافظون. The Qur'an Allah promised that he's going to protect it. There's no one on the face of this earth who can come and change the Qur'an. Allah is protecting it. As for the previous nations they were told to protect their own religions. As Allah said in the Qur'an بمستحفظوا من كتاب الله. You guys protect your own books. As for us that's not the case. Allah has told us that he's going to protect the Qur'an for us. So the preservation of the Qur'an here does not only involve the weddings. Also the meaning is protected. How does Allah protect the meaning? العلمة that is always going to defend it. That anyone who tries to change the meaning they're going to say that's not true. And they'll debunk it. So the wedding will be protected and so will the meaning be protected. And so it remains preserved by the grace of Allah and his favor for as long as a day and a night continue to alternate. So the one الملوان means their night. The alternation مختلفة للملوان أي مختلف الليل والنهار. He has chosen people of skill and proficiency to preserve its sciences and it is they who have compiled within each of his arts that which bring joy and comfort to those who are firm in faith. I'll praise him for these and others in numerous blessings. The blessings of Allah are numerous. There's no amount that a person can put to it. وَإِنْ تَعُدُوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْسُوْهَا إِنَّ الْإِنْسَانَ لَا ضَرُومٌ كَفَّارٌ الله سبحانه وتعالى has given you this religion has given you this Qur'an and no one can come with the light of it. So as an individual this is a blessing من نِعْمِهِ اللَّهِ لَا تُحْصَارٍ from the blessings of Allah in which you can't put a figure to it and it's numerous it's hard it's large in amount No Not least of which is the blessings of faith That's the greatest of it خصوصا على نِعْمَةِ الإيمان That is the greatest blessing if you lose everything you lose money you lose ownership the blessing that a person realizes that there's no blessing above it is نِعْمَةُ الإيمان the blessing of the Imam And I ask him to bestow the blessing of his acceptance upon me my loved ones and every other Muslim And I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship but Allah alone without partner a testimony that earns this behold behold of forgiveness salvation from hell and leads him to the dwellings of paradise And I bear witness that Muhammad is his slave and his messenger the cooler to faith And I bear witness that Muhammad is his slave and his messenger the cooler to faith And I bear witness that Muhammad is his slave the cooler to faith May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon him his family and his companions And may Allah honor explore and esteem him as long as the day and night are to date The name of of the place when after say that he who works peace and I then Allah sponge the day and night alternate then the person as if um there is a but his cartoon If and I can Select Let the fact عليهم أفضل الصلاة والبركات والسلام، وأكرمها بكتابه أفضل الكلام، وجمع فيه سبحانه وتعالى جميع ما تحتاج إليه من أخبار الأولين والآخرين، والمواعظ والأمثال، والآداب والظروب الأحكام، والحجد القطعيات الظاهرات في الدلالة على وحدانيته، وغير ذلك مما جات به رسلو صلوات الله وسلام عليه، الدامغات لأهل الإلحادي الظلال الطغام، وضع عفل أجر، وضع عفل أجر في تلاوته، وأمر بل ارتنامه، والعضاب، وملازمة لاداب معه، وفدل الوسع في الاحترام، وقد سنف في فضل تلاوته جماعة من الأماثل والعلام، كتبا معروفة عند أول النها والأحلام، لكن ضعفت الهمم على حفظها، بل على مطالعتها فصار لا يمتفع بها إلا فراد من أول الافهم، ورأيت أهل بلادنا، ورأيت أهل بلادنا، دمشق حماه الله تعالى وسانها وسائل بلاد الإسلام، مكترين من العتلاع بتلاوت القرآن العزيز تعلما وتعلما، وعرضا ودراسة في جماعة وفرادا، مجشيدين في ذلك باللعال والأيام، زادهم الله تعالى حرس عليه، وعلى جميعا وعطاها، مريدين وجه هذه الجلال والإكرام، فدعان ذلك إلى جمع مختصر في آداب حملته، وأصاف حفاضه وطلبته، فقد أوجب الله سبحانه وتعالى النصيحة لكتابه، ومن النصيحة لوبا يلوا داب حملته وطلابه، وإرشادهم إليها، وتنبيههم عليها، وأؤثر في الاختصار، وأحاضر التطويل والكتار، وأقد تصل في كل باب على طرف بنطرافي، وأرمز من كل ضرب من آداب إلى بعض يصلفي، فلذلك أذكر ما أذكره بحد في أسانيدي، وإن كانت أسانيدي بحمد الله تعالى عندي من الحاضرة العتيدة، فإن مقصود أتنبيه على أصل ذلك، والإشارة بما ذكره إلى ما حذفته مما هنالك، والسبب في إيثاره، اختصاره إيثاره، حفظه وكثرة الانتفاع به، وانتشاره ثم ما وقع من غريب الاسماء واللغات في الابواب، فأفردوا بالشرح والضبط الوجيز الواضح على ترتيب وقوع في باب في آخر الكتاب، ليكمل الانتفاع صاحبه، ويزول الشك عن طالبه، ويندرج في ضمن ذلك، وفي خلال الابواب، جمل من القواعد، ونفائس من مهمات الفوائد، وأبين الأحاديث الصحيحة والضعيفة مضافات إلى ما وراءها من الأئمة لثبات، وقد أجهل عن نادل من ذلك في بعض الحالات. يجب أن تخفف نادل من خفافه، وكثرة العام يجب أن يستمرك بشكل غير. والدراس الرحيمه الله تعالى، يخفف السكولي ستصور بحيث بحيث، وخفف فرده نُوهى والأحلام.ضع فرده نُوهى هو أهل العقول، فسيب ينبعون المسجدين، واحدها نُوهيا، و ليس كل من يريد أن يتعلم. إذا كنت تذهب إليك و يريد أن تتعلم ، فهذا الخارج هو مدينة ما؟ أنك تستطيع أن تكون إصدارك. الآن. أفهم أن يتكلم أن الناس من الأرض ، المسكس ، يمكن الله أن تتكلم أيضاً من الأرض الإسلامي. أميني سيطيري ، look what's happening to Shahm. The land which the author of the Qur'an is talking about. And look what's taking place today. It's a sad reality. So we say Allah SWT bring back Shahm to its people and get rid of the filthy regime of Bashar and his his thugs. Get rid of them يا رب العالمين and bring it back to the hands of the Muslims. Oh Allah, you have the ability to do so. And Dimashq brothers was once the place where all prophets came from. The prophets of Ben Israeel, all of them came out from Dimashq. Sorry, they came from Shahm. They all came from Shahm. And the Ulama also came from this land. The Ambiya and the Russell came from it of Ben Israeel. And also the Ulama came from it. And as I said before once, the only place that our prophet went to out of Jazeera to Arab. The prophet only left Jazeera to Arab once, twice. And where did he go? The prophet has never been to any other place in the world. عليه الصلاة والسلام. The only place he went to was Jazeera to Arab and Shahm. And that shows you that they are the most, though they are the two greatest places in the world. حوامين مكان مدينة. And then, and then it comes بيت المقدس which is in Shahm. We are showing increasing concern about an involvement with the recitation of the Qur'an through either learning it and teaching it or by expanding and studying it at both group and individual levels. The author here mentions a concept which is reading the Qur'an and studying it together in groups like we see a lot of Samadis do. They do Suba. What's known as Suba. Is that permissible? Yes, it's permissible. There's nothing wrong with it. Striving hard in the bowels يوم and night seeking the pleasure of Allah may Allah increase them in their eagerness and concern for it and any other act of worship they undertake. I was prompted to compile a book which summarizes the prescribed manners of those who carried the Qur'an. The author here, no one told him to write this book. And as I said before, authorship of a book is done in two ways. The people come and they ask and they tell you to write a book. And so you write the book based on the people's request. And sometimes the climate, the situation that you're in demands from you to author a book. And so what you do is you author a book based on the demand. For example, a person sees that ربا spreads in a land and he sees the people are dealing with each other in ربا highly. So when he does the author, he authors a book based on that. And now we hear when he saw that the people were they were turning towards the recitation of the Qur'an. They were teaching the Qur'an and et cetera. They were reading it individually and they were reading it in groups. He thought okay. And they were striving day and night. He thought okay. A book that talks about the manners and the etiquettes of the one who's carrying the Qur'an should be authored. So this book was written. So he wrote this book. Meaning those who have memorised it and the necessary qualities of those who concern themselves with this memorisation and study. Indeed, Allah has made advice by means of calling to his book and obligatory tasks to be undertaken by his servants. So the author is telling us here the author of this book he is doing on number one which was what? He was doing it because of the situation that he saw. People turning towards the Qur'an the people learning the Qur'an so he placed manners and etiquettes that they need to come with.


Hey guys, I just want to let you guys know that this is Logan talking, not like, you know, like, YouTube me, like, it's, it's Logan, not YouTube Logan.

Good morning guys. It is currently 5 40 5 30 a.m. You know that tiktok. That's like I'm never relaxed or whatever. What is it? That's me. I'm on my way to a 6 a.m. workout class and I haven't been to the studio, so I have to get there extra early It's literally like three minutes to my house, but I need to make sure there's parking You know, so I think I'm taking this I'm a responsible adult thing a little bit too far my friends and I wanted to go and my friends here You know, they work like normal hours. So here we are on our at a core power. I'm excited.  I keep putting everything off I woke up this morning. All I wanted to do is go back to bed and read. I get all my stuff done today That's my reward I'm yawning. I either have like a lot of energy or it's shot. We're going to the victory park location Do you guys live in Dallas and do you guys go to core power? If so, what are your favorite classes? Where do I even go? Just finished the workout guys. I feel incredible. I remember Why I used to do this. I think Taryn and I are going to start doing this more often I keep getting questions about how to be a morning person and honestly I've been off my like early morning routine like it used to be I used to be like really structured So if I wake up, let's say I want to wake up at 6 And I'm going to go work out at like 7 30 and in that 6 is 7 30 time block My plan is to like read and you know have my coffee and whatever I've come to terms with the fact that every single time I'm just going to hit snooze until my workout class So I've realized that if I really want to be an early morning riser again I have to schedule really early morning workouts because the only thing that will get me up is if I have a scheduled Workout class, especially with a friend. So for me currently, that's what I'm doing Wow, I used to like up so early and workout before the it was light outside I was so productive I was happy and I keep talking about being in this weird rut funk that I feel like I get in every single summer and I think it's because in the summer I lack more structure. I let myself loose a little bit more and that's just really not good for me I'm not that chill like in the end of workout classes where it's like the stretches and stuff Like that's my least hair part because I just like sit there and I'm like what am I supposed to do? You know, oh my god. Also. She made us do breppies at 6 a.m. And like that was just disrespectful Like I actually was like I couldn't believe my eyes in my ears when I hurt that like it was just too much for me Other than that though, I really did like the class. I'm still looking for a workout teacher in Dallas that Plays like the baby and Jack Harlow, but like I really like the class.

The most pressing health crisis remains COVID-19, the scientific way to reduce the burden on health infrastructure and reducing death is getting people vaccinated. Even Omicron, which is raging throughout the world right now, hospitalization are still largely by people who are unvaccinated. We cannot afford the luxury of lockdowns anymore. Our children have lost too much school. Our businesses are closing. We simply cannot afford another 2020 or 2021. Omicron is not just a normal wave. It's a huge one. It can easily overwhelm our health system. While some countries are reporting that the variant is milder than previous waves, that is coming from countries where the vaccination rates have been two and three times hours. We can find little comfort in one in every forced solution being vaccinated after nearly an entire year of vaccine availability on our island. COVID-19 vaccines have been proven to be safe and effective. We no longer have the luxury of time, doubt, procrastination and delay will only bring disease and more death. I urge every solution to go out and get vaccinated as a matter of urgency. Every citizen has a personal responsibility to protect their lives and the lives of others. To every solution that is not yet vaccinated, I again urge you to get vaccinated. I repeat, to every solution that is not yet vaccinated, I urge you please to get vaccinated. I am fully vaccinated. I have received my booster shot. This is not a time to play games if you are alive. Even if the Omicron might be milder than Delta, it will still kill many. Please stop taking unnecessary risks with your lives and the lives of others. In the health sector, the government will take concrete action to complete and commission Chengdu hospital. This will involve the completion of the regional structure which has been identified as the quickest and most cost-effective option.


Lipid nanoparticles, LNPs, have gained significant attention in recent years due to their potential applications in drug delivery, research, cosmetics and clinical medicine. Solid lipid nanoparticles, SLNs and nanostructured lipid carriers, NLCs are two major types of LNPs that offer advantages such as good release profile, targeted drug delivery and excellent physical stability. NLCs are modified SLNs that improve stability and capacity loading. Three structural models of NLCs have been proposed and this article discusses their features, structure, preparation methods, advantages, disadvantages and applications with a focus on SLNs and NLCs. This article was authored by Nata Nazary, Hati Valizata and Parven Zikiri Milani.


Well, if you are new here, my name is Charlotte and I am a fourth grade science and socialize teacher in Arizona. Today's video is going to be a teacher haul. I love watching these because I love getting ideas of what other people buy for their classrooms and then I go out and buy it. So I thought I would just share this with you. All right you guys, so I have been doing a little bit of shopping here a little bit in the summer and so I have just picked up a few things for my classroom that I thought I would share with you. So I've been to Target Home Goods and most importantly, Amazons. I'm gonna show you just a couple things. I am in my seventh, almost eighth year of teaching and so every year I tend to buy a little bit less and less and less and I realize the things that I actually need and I always pick up a few little extra fun things. So I'm just gonna show you guys everything I have accumulated right now because I'm gonna get ready to pack up the car and I would rather not have everything like in shopping bags. So the first thing I'm gonna show you is just this really fancy supply box. I was actually out at Target with my mother-in-law and I remembered that I had one less black supply bin in my classroom than I plan on having groups so I actually had to grab one. It doesn't match the other ones but as long as it's black, it's okay. I will get used to it. I'm kind of one of those really obnoxious people that has to have everything match otherwise it'll drive me crazy. So we'll see if I can handle that one, not matching. This one's like a matte black, the other ones are shiny. I know, I'm crazy. I'm not gonna apologize. So the next things I'm gonna show you are from HomeGoods and I'm actually gonna go to HomeGoods today before I go into my classroom but I saw these pillows and I thought that they were just so cute for a classroom so I have two little bucket seats I guess, saucer chairs in my library as you guys saw if you watched my last classroom setup blog but these are just little pillows. Hi dear. Hello Mr. Valdez, goodbye Mr. Valdez. And so I picked up two of these, they kind of match. This one says treat people with kindness and I just thought that was so cute and I can just plop it in that little saucer chair and then and I think these were $6, $9.99 which is kind of expensive for a pillow if you think about it but I thought they were so cute and I needed to update my pillows. My pillows are like in tragic so and then the next one is a little kindness can change the world. I just thought these were so, so cute and they match my theme. The theme of my classroom is really just black and white and lots of colors so. Perfect for this chair or for this pillow. So anyway, those were at HomeGoods or TJ Maxx, whichever one you guys have. Okay, so now I'm gonna jump into Amazon which is where I did the bulk of my shopping. So just a few things. First thing are these postcards for students. They're so cute. I'm gonna drop links down in the description box below but they're called teacher student postcards and these are so cute. I don't usually do stuff like this but last year I found myself writing a lot of little notes and actually a handwritten note home is one of my dojo store rewards so I thought I would just pick a few of these up just so that I could put my little positive notes on them but they're cute. They say, you are a quality student. You are really guac. You really guac. Like you rock.  They're so cute. This one says, thanks for giving it your very best and it's a little bear. These say, I appreciate all you do. And then this one says, your effort is otter this world. So I just thought those were really cute. It came with, how many's in here? 96, six different designs. So I feel like this will get me through the whole school year. I really love trying to promote positivity with kids and not just contact parents when there's something negative going on. So I bought those to try to help myself really stay on top of sending more positive notes home. So anyway, that was the first Amazon find. And then, okay, now this next thing is not a necessity. It's not something that I go out and buy every year. It's definitely something that is not needed but I strive to create a classroom environment that is fun, inviting and supports learning. So mostly fun. So I got a skylight and my friend Mandy's son Aiden had one of these in his bedroom. And I had purchased one last year. It's like a little small circular light. You take the lid off and then it's supposed to project the night sky onto the ceiling. Well, it doesn't really project that far and the room is big, so it's not going to work. So I'm thinking I'm gonna bring that one home and use this one in my classroom. When I walked into Aiden's room, literally looked like this. The entire ceiling was lit up. This thing was like $60, which I'm hoping it will work and if it doesn't, I might send it back because $60 for something to not do what I want it to do. Kind of pricey. But anyway, you sit it in the corner and it projects the night sky onto the ceiling. And it does multiple things. Now I know some of you might be thinking, Charlotte, what about your students with sight or vision impairments or with who have seizures, things like that? I always, always check with students, with parents to make sure that something like this is not going to harm them or cause them any type of issues, anxiety, trigger them in any way. So last year I did have a student who had a light or a vision impairment and she did have seizures. So I do have a lot of lights in my classroom already so I did reach out to that parent. She told me the lights really aren't what caused the seizures so she should be fine as long as it's not like flashing right in her eye, she should be good. So since this projects onto the sky, it should be fine. I like to use lights like these during like independent work time or during projects or labs. When I just like to make the environment just like a party. I like having lights, I like sound or music and the kids work so well when all this is going on and they just have a lot more fun doing their labs, working in groups when the environment is like a party. It makes them feel like they're at a party. So anyway, the sky light, we'll see if it works. I'm gonna test it out today, we'll see in this vlog. And then the next thing that I purchased is a book and it's called Cracking Up. Hi baby. My little guy is coming in. Hi sweetie. I don't love my stuff, okay? You could say hi and then need to go with daddy. Hey baby. Yes, thank you. So this book is called Cracking Up, A Story About Erosion. I thought this would be a fun read aloud for my students, not just that but for something for them to pull to look at and read when we're studying earth science and they need something to look at or you know, just something fun. I like to keep picture books in my classroom and anything that is science related is always good. So this one's called Science Works, Cracking Up, A Story About Erosion. So that's another Amazon find. And then the next thing that I purchased from Amazon, now this is definitely a necessity and I buy it every year. These are thermal laminating pouches and there are 200s in here. They're three millimeter, millimeter, sorry, three millimeter, nine by 11.5. So lots of laminating to be done. I like to laminate classroom decor and certain things that the kids make. Okay, so the next purchase from Amazon is definitely not a necessity but something I really have been eyeballing for a while and these are, these are misfrizzle earrings. So they look like this. They're like little space earrings. I have a couple of shirts and dresses that kind of are like frizzle vibes and the kids call me Miss Veldizzle because I'm a lot like misfrizzle and the fact that I'm like super weird. So anyway, these are these really cute earrings. The camera's not gonna zoom in on them but they're stars and planets and then over here we've got a Saturn. So anyway, I was planning to wear these some day during class. I have a couple of things I can think of that I can wear those with. So definitely not a necessity but super fun. So the next thing I'm gonna pull out is something that's definitely needed and these are 12 two-pocket poly folders and they are red. So one of the things that I really struggled with last year, sorry, there's conversation going on in the hallway. One of the things I really struggled with last year was tracking absent work. Because of the pandemic, kids were in and out of school all the time and it was really hard for me to figure out who was missing what and with 60 plus kids because I am departmentalized, it just got really hard to track. So what I plan on doing with these is putting one red folder on each table group top and if a student is absent, whoever is at that table group will put their paper, whatever, whoever's absent, put the paper that's on the empty desk inside of the red folder. This will be labeled as a catch-up folder and so when the student returns, they can ask their team captain or whoever's there, hey, what did I miss yesterday? They can send them to the red catch-up folder where their papers that they missed for the day will be waiting for them. So I do a lot of interactive notebook work. I do a lot of things that need to be cut and glued into their notebooks and so there's a lot of paper flow when it comes to that so this is definitely an essential item, something that I'm hoping will work next year. And then the last two things that I got from Amazon are more student rewards. So the kids love stickers.  There's like 200 or something in here. 300, 300 stickers in here. So I thought that this could go in my dojo store as a reward. They can purchase a sticker, like I would make this maybe 10 points, they can purchase a sticker. And then I thought maybe making like a mystery box where they like put their hand in and then pick and then that's the one that they have. So and then if they don't like it, they can just trade with someone else. And then another thing that I purchased for the same purpose are these giant like mini brand erasers. So again, I will drop as many links as I can find down in the description, but there's things in here like cake, Santa, corn on the cob, pie, soccer, ping pong paddle. Like there's all kinds of stuff in here. And I just know the kids love stuff like this. They love goofy little like erasers. Like this one's a bowling pack. So anyway, I just thought that these would be super fun to again put in my dojo store as like a reward they can purchase. Maybe these ones would be 15 dojo points. Again, they reach in, they grab one, whatever they get, they get and they don't throw fit. This one is a little pumpkin. And then again, they can trade if they want, but I just thought that would be another fun prize. I haven't done like a prize box in a long time just because I find that different opportunities in the classroom work just as good as prizes and gifts. So a lot of my dojo prizes are experiences or opportunities in my classroom.  So she ended up giving these to me. She's teaching first grade and I don't think first graders are as into stickers as fourth graders are. So anyway, she gave me a bunch of these stickers. As you guys can see, there's just like tons in here. So I think I'm gonna be set on stickers and stuff for the kids. So the very last thing that I purchased for this next coming school year, now this is not the only haul I'm probably gonna do. I'm gonna go out today and probably buy a few more things. But that was just a planner and now that I have it in my hands and I've been using it, I don't think it's gonna work for teaching and I'll tell you why. So this is a happy planner. It's from Joann's. I did get it on Mega Sale and it is the Disney Princess edition. So the reason I love it because it's beautiful and cute, but it's not really practical for a teacher because of the size and amount of writing space. So you get these little squares for every day and where the squares would be plenty. I just don't have enough room to like write out standards and objectives. I would have to write down and that would really annoy me. So I think what I'm gonna do is just keep this planner for my own personal use, keep it here in my office, use it to write down dates, keep it in my teacher bag so that if anything comes up at home or anything like that, I can write in it. It was fairly inexpensive. So what I plan to do today is run to Home Goods and see if I can find just a cheap one that has lots of room to write things in so that I can put standards, learning targets, activities, school related stuff. I really don't think that I need like an Aaron Condren planner anymore. I only teach one or two subjects per day. So I don't need a ton of space, just enough room to write my standards, my learning targets and then any activities I'm planning on doing for the day. I don't turn in lesson plans so I really don't need like a huge planner. So I'm gonna do that today. But guys, that is everything in this first teacher haul for the school year. I hope you guys enjoyed. Again, I will put as many links down in the description box below. And I hope you enjoy. And if you see anything you like, maybe you can grab it too. And I will see you guys in the next video. Bye.


When you were a person of religion, you were given certain edicts, what is good, what is bad, the 10 commandments, the do's and the don'ts. But in ordinary life, for most people, particularly in the public domain, to distinguish between good and bad seems to be increasingly difficult. I've always held that there are two realms, the individual, individual gain, and the second is the public good. If one is clashing with the other, if my personal gain is clashing with the public good, then that is something bad. If both are in harmony, then that is something good. That seems to me to be a workable definition of what is good and bad for ordinary interaction between the citizen or individual and the community and the society. What are your thoughts on that? So once you start a debate as to what is good and what is bad, actually in reality this debate can go on forever without coming to a conclusion. Obviously you have debated this within yourself and around yourself for many years and still there is no conclusion. And believe me, people have been debating this for thousands of years and still there is no conclusion. Why this is so is, generally this starts from within the family, that is people who have the authority within the family. If you really carefully look at it, essentially it boils down to this, what I do is good, what you do is bad. That extends to the society, to politics, to various things. Whoever is in a position of power, who is in a position of dominance, they may not spill it out so crudely, but in so many ways they're telling you what I do is right, what you do is wrong. So ultimately it becomes about whoever is in a state of advantage is right, whoever is in a state of disadvantage is wrong. Well that principle is the basis of all exploitation and all the ugliness that you see on the planet. So instead of starting a debate on what is good and what is bad, I think what we need is what is appropriate and what is inappropriate to our times, to our society, to our existence here, to our level of economics, what is right and what is appropriate and what is inappropriate. Now, if I'm just saying for example, we are a rich nation because if you have twenty-nine rupees per day you are rich in this country. We are one rich nation, another rich nation is United States. So between these two if you compare, what may be right there is not right here because the conditions are not same, people's lives are not same, culture is not same, people's emotions are not same, people's wants, likes and dislikes are not same. So what is right there may be completely wrong here. What is right here may be completely wrong there. So within the nation, when we say a nation we believe we are all Indians, but here everybody has opinion of his own. It will be fanciful to think there is one person here who doesn't have an opinion of his own who goes by Indian constitution. There's not one single person like that here. Everybody has their own opinion, their own twist of what is right and wrong, isn't it? One point two billion people, every one of them has their own opinions. Two people cannot agree as to what's right and wrong. So instead of looking at right and wrong, if we start looking at what is appropriate, okay, these are our conditions, this is our life. What is the most appropriate thing to do right now? Tomorrow if our conditions change, the appropriateness changes, then there will be no clashes. Constantly the clash between the previous generation and this generation between one human being and the other human being is your ideas of right and his ideas of right are so different. Parents and children are fighting, administration and people are fighting, management and union is fighting, simply because your ideas of good and bad are very different and it's always different. Within the family between the husband and the wife, basic unit of the family, their ideas of right and wrong are very different. So once you enter that space, you are entering into an endless controversy, no possibility of a solution. But if you look at appropriateness of action, then we can arrive at what is the appropriate thing to do in our society, for our conditions, for our limitations.


Just allow you to settle in a little bit when your offense puts up some early runs like that. Yeah I mean, I think they we're up eight after two or something like that. We got their starter out of the game in the first so Nice to be spotted a lead like that This offense is scary when they're rolling like that They're scary, but just a series in general. What stood out to you about the offense. Yeah, I mean the bombs These are the Bronx bombers. I mean big G judgey Carpenter, I mean these dudes. Hey, he got on the board. Glaber's been hot. It's been it's been fun to watch It seems like every swing these guys take there's a chance of a big homer Carpenter doing what he's doing right now. It's nice. I mean he comes in here fits in right away Super professional acts like he's been on the team for forever. Great teammate And he fits right in in the lineup, too You know, I think he also benefits from hitting around all those big guys You make a mistake. He's also had quite the career And he can put a ball in the seats with the best of them I was just talking to him a minute ago about 2018. I remember the run. He was on around the all-star break I think he had a homer in like six straight games took a couple days off than six more straight games So he's got the capability of doing it These fans are great. I love pitching here. I love the mound the fans are in it on every pitch I don't know you get to sleep in your own bed The home field advantage here matters So I think you know if you get a guy that comes in here on the other team who's younger has never played here before I think Yankee Stadium can kind of be overwhelming for some guys Can also on the flip side make people play up it can make people kind of up their game and get fired up But if you struggle in Yankee Stadium, I feel like the stage is pretty big and pretty bright Our guys were used to it
