So Um, let me know in the comments if you are going if you want to hear me call for some future sell by owners That's what I'm going to go for that today. What's going on Jeff Gf Got two for sell by owners willing to work with an agent but have not answered my calls or texts yet How do you know that they're willing to work with an agent? It says it in the The description or something Ricky, I'm studying to get my license right now. I'm looking forward to learning from you Let's see. Let's see. Let's see The weekly email can be sent via text now it can all it can always have been sent by text Uh constant contacts give you it gives you a link of the email that you can text out Be beautiful. Let's go All right before I get into this just want to give you guys a couple of tips on the market right now In case you haven't You know heard me say this with how tight the market is right now You really need to focus on in my opinion second home owners vacation property owners airbnb's investment properties long-term investment single family homes that they're renting out Things that Is not their primary home Investments and second homes. I think we need to focus there a B we need to focus on for sell by owners because they have raised their hand and said that they will sell And c is expireds expires to me are beautiful because A lot of reasons number one they tell you a story about what's what happened with that property Which I find amazing. It's really the only Type of lead I can really get a true story. I mean for sell by owners kind of They kind of have their guard up there, but expired seems like they're so willing to just share everything with you What happened with it? what do they want to do all that stuff and You know, honestly, it's low hanging fruit for me the expires and We found the sweet spot was like one to two year old expires, but the new expires people that just expired I think one to two year old expires eight month old expires new expires So those are people that raised their hand and said I might sell I would have sold whatever those are great great leads So if it if it were me and I were like building my business right now I would be pounding For sell by owners, which I never really did The only reason I'm saying that now is because how tight the market is for sell by owners, which I'm going to call momentarily expireds And absentee owners second home owners investment property owners I think that's the way to go right now with this tight Tight market the primary at homeowners don't want to sell hell a lot of the Investment property owners don't want to sell they have mortgages on their investments and stuff. So, you know, it's a tight market Another thing that I've found is high in luxury. It seems like there's a lot of cash Happening in the high-end luxury market from some of the high-end luxury agents that I've talked to here lately You know, the people that are filling uh, they're paying cash For uh for these high-end luxury properties.  They want to upgrade from a 3 million to a 8 million dollar home Um, or whatever the case may be that could be a really good niche as well some of these um cash Some of these cash seller buyers Um, and you can actually plug that in And call just people who don't have mortgages on their properties, you know, which means they've got cash sitting there If they want to do something Chances are they're going to pay cash for the next property. They're bypassing the entire mortgage thing I'm just thinking of hacks for you guys So really focus on in this really tight inventory markets Um, so anyway for what it's worth wanted to throw that out there for you Let's see what you got in the comments and I'm going to pull up some for sale by owners and get on the phone Let's see. Let's see They don't feel pressure and aggravation of multiple calls. What do you mean by their uh, charlotte? You saying um expireds don't feel that way Um, or what? Oh, yeah, maybe you're talking about old expireds or maybe you're talking about absentee owners Uh real estate itself requires follow-ups. Yeah, you're right, bro. You better be following up Zillow zillow. What y'all talking about zillow? Okay Okay, let's get it Oh expireds. Well, the new ones are probably getting hit, but you know what? Um Um You know, it's crazy because like there's actually not a whole lot of uh, there's not there's actually not a whole lot of agents calling expireds What would I recommend for new agents to start doing right? You need to make calls all morning Do social media all afternoon call for sub owners expireds. Um circle prospect absentee owners vacation property owners Second home owners call your sphere, you know hit everybody and do a weekly email Go to zero to diamond dot com.

It looks like you sold it. I couldn't tell for sure Anyway, just calling a touch base to see if there's anything in the world I could do for you I didn't know if you might be interested in some rental properties down here Or if you'd actually sold that property or anything I could do to in fact help you you can reach me here at<PHONE_NUMBER> have a great day Yeah I am drinking water. This is straight water It's actually liquid death I drink them all day long and Fresco here is actually soda water I just chug water all day All day every day Better be drinking water Okay What scripts am I going to use at the appointment? I'm not going to use a script. I'm going to go in there I'm going to try to get to know them relate to them in some kind of way See if they in fact would be willing to at some point list the property with a real estate agent If they already have an agent in mind if they were to take that step And try to become that agent. That's really just the bottom line Um, it's not a real crazy difficult process I think the what the problem is is that You guys are just super desperate. You're going in there and you're trying to get the listing instead of just literally just trying to be their friend And understand better what they have going on What they want to do I mean the bottom line is this if they get an offer Without an agent then they want to work that offer and save that three to six percent commission, of course Um, and if they get an offer heck, I'd even help them Complete the trend, you know help them as much as I could um, but For the listing side of it, it's like if they don't get an offer Okay, if they don't get an offer then Then that's where the listing side could come in come into play and My job is to connect as deeply as I can Make them feel like I'm their long lost son and um And establish if they were in fact to list the property At some point hypothetically do they have a relationship in place with the real estate agent? I just I want to know all of this and then I want to inch my way into becoming the their agent if they decide to do something on the listing side Um, that's all it is They may be ready to list it now. They may I may go there I've went to for sell by owners and I know a lot of agents that go to for sell by owners You know with no expectations of really listing the property But the but the owners are thinking i'm kind of ready to list the property I may show up tomorrow and she may tell you know what i'm kind of ready to to list this property, but The fact is they're still living in the house. So um in they're building their house their self So we'll just see how it goes, but I don't have a script Let's see. Who could this have been? Let's see Had somebody just call me back Let me see if I can figure out who In fact that was Right quick because if this was a callback i'm going to call them back Toot-toot-toot-toot Toot-toot-toot Toot-toot Well, oh shoot i'm still up in the februaries Let me get all the way back up i'm in march i'm in april i'm in All right, here we go Nope Okay I don't know who that was I am in central time zone No, I probably won't bring anything with me Let's see. I'll tell you what I will do Oh, let's see We can look up the comps together real quick and then Let's see Let's see what we got here I won for sell that tells you right there That tells you right there Let's go back. Wow only eight So that's a big subdivision Let's say let me move this around so you guys can see better. Well, let's see closing date There's one act of two pending.

So she's a little on the smaller side Not a little she's on the smaller side Um, but there's one for 1608 hers is 15 something And it's pending at 305. So she's in the game She's she's in the game Straight up she's priced right And there's nothing for sale so That'll be interesting to see Um, so yeah, I'll keep you guys informed on that. I'm going to go by there take a look. She's definitely priced, right? So I'm just going to go try to become the family friendly real estate agent Cool Let's see All right guys, hey, we're at the top of the hour seven more minutes left, but uh, gotta go do something with the fam um Let's see.

Hello everyone. Welcome to Observability Day Europe 2023. The topic we have today is scaling Observability Stack for AIOps. I am Ravi Hari. I work at Intuit as a Principal Software Engineer. About Intuit briefly, Intuit was founded in 1983 and it went IPO in 93. We have about 19 locations and I work from Bangalore office. We have about 12.7 billion revenue last year and we have more than 100 million customers and it contributed into multiple open source projects. Coming to the topic, briefly Prometheus metrics are used for various purposes and Prometheus being a defect of standard in Kubernetes. It can be leveraged for various use cases. For example, monitoring time series data, alerting, auto scaling and anomaly detection are common use cases for Prometheus metrics. The problem that we had to solve was we wanted to generate anomaly scores using AIOps tools, leveraging Prometheus metrics data. And the thing is that Prometheus metrics that the Prometheus instances collect, it is good for a few other but we cannot store the data in Prometheus instances for days to later. And Prometheus also did a lot of other things like scraping the remote writing and also allows for pairing because of which we cannot retrieve that data with long-term storage directly from Prometheus. We had to choose other components. So, we looked at all the solutions we and we felt Thanos is a great fit with Prometheus and started integrating Prometheus with Thanos to scale horizontally. Thanos has a number of components like Thanos primary store, sidebar, ruler, etc. And one thing that actually we like was Thanos sidebar with the help of it running along with Prometheus, we can write the data of Prometheus DSDB over to S3 buckets. So, this is a high-level picture of Thanos where the Thanos sidebar runs along with the Prometheus instances and the separate component of the Thanos sidebar writes the DSDB block-central object storage, S3 buckets in our case. And Thanos query can be used to query the data using Thanos store as a gateway. And Thanos store, it is the data from S3 buckets and passes it on to query which can be leveraged by the clients. Additional components like ruler and contact would be helpful. Contact will be useful to contact the data in object storage. Ruler can be used for aggregating the rules if you have multiple Prometheus sidebar so that we get to consolidate the data. So, we thought we'll use S3 buckets to store the data and which was about 8 years of data would be a good historical data query and run from an object on top of that matrix for a given object. And retrieving this data from Thanos store, we pass it on to Thanos query as we have seen. So, this architecture essentially looks like this for which we have initially noted. So, for querying the live matrix, we went directly to Prometheus. We didn't have too much traffic on this side. But we were anticipating more traffic coming towards the Thanos long-term storage matrix because we wanted to run this and all this process on a given cluster. And this is the part where it queries the Thanos query S3 service. And that calls this Thanos query three parts because they are getting retrieved from S3. We are just knowing that for three years. And this is Thanos query S3 parts between the data from Thanos store. Thanos store is a staple set and that can also be horizontally scaled. And they call the S3 buckets and they retrieve the data from S3. So, that is a current model we have implemented. And we have seen a number of challenges. This is the first challenge that we have seen. We thought everything would work with the free itself picture. But this was working only for the add-on namespaces or namespaces where we want to have Kubernetes controllers. But it is not working for us in the application. The reason for that is our application namespaces have high security constraints. And because of this, we have network policies that we put in place so that no two application services can contact each other. So, we cannot query a service from an application namespace into either an add-on namespace or any other namespace assets. Then how can we query this data to run it from the AAPS pipeline in the namespaces? Then we thought of a solution called internal AAPS, which we can put in place in front of this Thanos query S3 service. Then the application namespace, which is running this AAPS pipeline, can query the internal AAPS to retrieve the data that eventually can call the Thanos query S3 and store the data from S3 buckets. So, this pipeline can work is what we figured out. And we thought this will solve all our problems. Then we started running into other issues. The second issue that we ran was we started load testing it. We found that Thanos query varies with errors coming up quite frequently, and we are also seeing errors on the claims. And the error that we saw in the Thanos query is the chunk pool being exhausted. Without initially this is a Thanos query problem, but later we realized this is essentially a problem coming from Thanos store. And when we looked into what are the possible options for us to configure with Thanos store, we came across two critical options in Thanos store. One is the chunk pool size configuration, and the other one is the next batch of size configuration. So, the chunk pool size configuration started playing around by giving different sizes for it. And even when we gave around 30 GB for the chunk pool size, it was not sufficient. We were running out of it when we had a high volume load test. Then we thought we need to keep this minimal because otherwise the Thanos store parts are going to have a very huge amount of memory. So, we optimized it in a little bit of time to that. The other thing that we also found beneficial is the next batch of size. So, this keeps the index data that gets stored in the DSV blocks, which has information of where the chunks are stored in the C++. So, by enabling this, it will optimize the speed to fetch the chunk data that is stored in the C++. And it doesn't have to retrieve this index file at any time because it is stored in that unit. So, these two options help us alleviate the chunk pool exhaustion problem that we were seeing in the Thanos. Now, after that, we found another issue that the ALPs are getting 504 gateway timeouts. And we were running the load test, initially we didn't see this, but after a certain point of time, after we fixed the chunk pool size configurations and stuff like that, we saw that the ALPs are giving us 504 gateway timeout data. And we looked into that, so far we figured out that the ALPs are getting timeout. So, there is this configuration and it will be called idle timeout. By default, it is set to 60 seconds. But because we are finding eight days of data, the amount of time taken to retrieve the data from SC, but they can pass it on back to ALP is taking more than 60 seconds on the load. So, which is why we are not able to get the metric data back. And that connection is getting terminated after 60 seconds and we are getting 504. So, the fix for this is we have to increase the idle timeout on ALP and then we are not seeing the 504 gateway timeout data. Then we thought we are set and we had to run as a problem. And this problem is 502 back, which is on ALP. And the reason for this is we thought it has to do with some timeout settings and other things, but later we found that as we started increasing the load, the timeout store memory is getting exhausted quite fast. And at the same time the memory from the node is also getting exhausted and reaching 100% quite fast. And then this timeout store as it is now becoming accessible. And timeout query at 3 when it is trying to query timeout store, it is getting a connection with this data. So, with timeout query getting connection with this data, the ALP is giving us a 502 back here. Then we thought, hey, whatever we are doing is not right because we are querying too much of data. And that is overwhelming timeout store. And we need to somehow reduce the amount of data that we can query at once from timeout store. So, we can limit the memory on the timeout spreading system. So, as we discussed, we saw the 100% usage on the nodes and CPU on timeout store, CPU on memory and timeout storage getting spiked immediately. We looked at a couple of alternatives. And the solution for this problem is we found how can we reduce the size of the data that we can retrieve. We thought of implementing our own solution that we later found that there is already a well thought out solution for this called timeout storage rendering. And this provides us an option to split the query range with the split interval flag. And there, we tried it on different combinations during the Lotus and we tried to us as a decent query split interval with which we can limit the one timeout data timeout store consumption timeout storage because otherwise, if we don't have this and we query timeout spreading, even if timeout store sometimes performs well, timeout spreading is running out of rendering. So, this one actually protects both timeout spreading and timeout store to retrieve the information, right? So, this is our finance solution. So, the pipeline, the transfer and application interfaces queries the Internet ALB, which queries the timeout spreading which can horizontally split, that Internet queries the timeout spreading service, which can also horizontally scale, which queries timeout store, which actually is the data from a certificate and that can also horizontally split. Now, with all this, we ran the load test and we didn't see any error after that. And we saw that 99 percent timeout response time is around 60 seconds and an average is around 30 seconds. And these are the results on the back end, where we saw that the timeout spread F3 CPU and memory in control, as well as the timeout store query and memory and CPU are also in control. And we also saw that the HP is getting kicked in the right controls and this components can also scale. And the node method in search and review are also related to this. The next thing, once we have this thing running, right, the next big thing is how much does this pass for the state to have this solution. And when you look into components involved in this, there are three components. One is ALB, the second one is nodes, the third one is S3 bucket. So first, looking at the ALB first, the ALBs are getting charged based on the LCOs, which is I think what load balancer capacity units. And in our load test, based on all the information that we have, when we look into them of the product case start, we require it based on a load profile at the peak, we require it over 31 GB per hour. And we have about 30,000 requests per second and stuff like that, about 30,000 for to create against the ALB per second. And based on all this, we saw that ALBs, we can charge about $204 per month, which is not bad. And then we looked at the node usage, right? And how many nodes should be based on the instance type or the number of nodes that are changing. We started with the outside web site, but as we saw, the memory was one close to the other instance of the series, because they are already optimized. But later, as we were able to control the quality range to do a sort of speaking role, then we realized that it's no more a memory-bound problem, it's essentially a computer problem. So we chose, we went with C5 instances and C5 instances, when we looked into the on-demand instances, it was personally a little higher. But when we chose the resulting instances, the cost essentially descended even to its color of instances. So overall cost at C5 for instance, around $1460. And then last thing is AWS S3 bucket cost. AWS S3 buckets are charged based on the amount of data that we store in them, and the amount of data that we retrieve out of it and the scans, it does store data, right? And by feeding in all the information used on our predictions and give us less points, you can only arrive at about $1400 per month approximately. So overall cost based on the prediction, it comes to about $3,100. This is a good insight for us. Now we can look into is this what the purpose to kind of build our own solution or look at any alternatives that provide us out of the work solutions. But this seems to be much more optimal than going for any paid tools and stuff like that. That is all our livings in scaling Thanos to retrieve long-term data for metrics that actually did. Thank you.


So today I'm starting another brand new repair series. This one is going to be on the Sony PVM 2030 monitor that you see in the background here behind me. And just so you know, today's video is the beginning of a two part series on this monitor repair. Today we're going to go through and we're going to walk around this monitor. We're going to tear it down, do a couple of repairs, and then focus on cleanup. And we will get into some yoke adjustments. But before I get too into that repair, I did want to give you a little bit of background. This was a monitor that I bought off eBay and I have done an unboxing for this one. And I wanted to give you just a couple of other model numbers before we get into this repair. In case you have one of these other model numbers, it's a 2530, a 3230, 2130Q, and a 2730Q. And they may even have an M at the end of that. But those models are specifically going to be designed pretty much in line with this one. You'll notice a lot of the parts being the same, as well as the build out being the same. So first we'll take a look around the monitor to get started. It's pretty clean on the outside, but you'll just notice a lot of these buttons are the same on no matter what model you get, the 2530 or the 2030. Now first we want to get inside this shell. So to do that, there's a screw on the back right here by these notch buttons and other type of menu adjustment buttons. We've got a screw back here and then we've got screws in the corners. There's five screws in total that are holding the back shell on this monitor on. So you want to get rid of those screws and then you can take the shell backing off. Now remember, this one does have a cord that is attached permanently inside the monitor. It's not like the others where you get to plug in a random cord in the back of the PVM. This one's got a permanent cord in it. And that's part of the first repair we're going to be working on. This one also doesn't sit level if you just remove the back shell. So you'll notice me here kind of wedging it up a little bit. And the second piece is styrofoam just to be soft. Now there is a plastic plate under those circuit boards so there's no risk of anything grounding out or touching that foam that's dangerous. But if you look here inside this monitor, you'll notice a lot of grunge, I'm sorry, and dirt built-ups, cobwebs. And this is a very compact design for a 20 inch model of a monitor. A lot of these things are, boards are pretty much screwed in on top of each other. The first repair, though, we need to do is I need to get a new power cable on here. This one's very unsafe. It's just been spliced together. So to do that, I need to get inside this tightly compacted monitor. And to do that, the first thing I'll do is there's a board on the right-hand side. And there's four screws in there, generally one here. You just saw me remove one here and one at the bottom. And sometimes it'll be a fourth one up here at the top. And if you remove that and then you lift that board just ever slightly, let me show you that part again where I lift that board. And you just lift it up just a little bit. And this is almost the exact same procedure for the other side. But lift it slightly, and then it'll pull out. And then you can kind of expand your working area inside the monitor. So you have to really just expand this out to give yourself a little bit more room to work with in there. And to begin with, I'm not going to disconnect the cables on this board. But I will release some of the cable ties in there that are holding all the cables together just to give it a little bit more room to open. The second board I need to get rid of is this input board on the back. And just saw a second ago, I did remove this little board. Well, you don't really remove it. It just swings out. It's got this plastic attachment here that holds it in place. So just remove that. And then you can get working on this board. There are a couple of screws, only two on the side that hold the board in. But once you get that out of the way, you have to really start just disconnecting every single cable connection on this board. And there's quite a few on this input board. I'm not gonna lie, it's probably 15 connections. And so just keep those connection points in the same area. Thankfully, Sony makes, it looks like they're all pretty similar, but they actually only fit in one specific input slot or cable slot there on the back of that input board. So you're not actually gonna risk probably plugging something back into the wrong place. It's just only fits in one spot, the spot it belongs in. So now that we've taken the two boards and gotten them a little bit out of the way, I can get to work on this cable. I just slide that little lock out from its spot. And then this one's in there pretty good. So the best thing to do is going to be to take some clips or snips and cut these cables so I could get them out of the way, clean up the area a little bit and then install a new safe and rated power cable. But just clip it, pull it out of the way. Now there is this little clip on here that if you take a tiny screwdriver, it just clips out of place and then you can reuse this on my replacement cable. I'll be reusing it. So that is taken care of, but I do need to get the old cables out of the way. So I'm going to heat up the points with my solder tip and then on my soldering iron and then use some tweezers so I can pull those cables out of the way and just clean it up as best as possible. That way I can install a new cable. So that's pretty much all the repair that needs to be done for this part is just getting that out of the way. And now I'm getting my new cable in there and we'll get it replaced and soldered back into place here. But this is the power supply area on this monitor. So if you have trouble, you can check this fuse right here if you can't get your power on on this monitor and you can also check in this area right here that's got this large heat sink and shielding. That's where all the capacitors are that control the power supply directly. They're inside this metal box, but you could see I'm just soldering the new power cable into place. It's already got the cable lock on it and I'll just add a nice thick goop glop of flux. You wanna use plenty of flux and some solder on this point just to make sure you got a good connection. So once that is in place, I'll pull the cables just to make sure they're nice and sturdy and that there won't be any way for those two to bridge together of course and cause a real problem. But that again is the power area. So if you have any issues with power, that's probably where it's coming from. Do those capacitors in that shielding or something along with lines with that fuse. So now I'm gonna get the rest of this kind of broken down a little bit more so I can go ahead and start cleaning the monitor now. And I'll focus in on the electron gun area and the glass tube behind the CRT where the electron gun is. And before you look at that, you could see a lot of just grime and build up and you always wanna, when you got it apart like this, it's a good idea to just go ahead and clean it because you don't wanna take it all the way apart again and clean it again. And you really wanna get rid of a lot of that dust and build up so it doesn't cause any extra heat to build up inside your monitor and it makes it look a lot better. So just a real thick layer of grime inside here. And I just like to take a little bit of Windex, put it on a soft paper towel and rub that glass first, clean that off and just tons of dust built up in this thing. You can imagine after 30 years, it will get quite a bit of dust inside something like this, especially with all those boards sandwiched and cramped and put on top of each other.  You can see it poofing up and getting all over my hand. So there's a lot of it, especially on the yoke and all the cables kind of above the yoke and all these other cables. They all continue to hold dust in there. And after that, I'll go through with a compressed air hose and spray everything pretty thoroughly in between all the circuit boards and everything and make sure that I can get as much of that dust out as possible. If you use compressed air in a can, it's gonna cost you a lot. So I actually have a full-on air compressor now that works really well for cleaning because it takes a lot of air generally to blow out the dust inside here. But this is definitely something you always wanna do to clean up your monitor and just get a lot of that nasty grime out of the way. It's easiest to do those three steps. So now the monitor is well on its way to be pretty darn clean inside. And the thing now we gotta do is reassemble everything. So just take your time, make sure that you line up the cables back in their proper spots, because it's pretty tedious again to just go through here and reconnect these cables. But it's pretty much all there is to it.  So that's all reconnected. I will leave the board open, but you could, that way you could see how the entire monitor looks when both sides are open and it's cleaned out still very tight in there. But now we can plug in our new power cord and make sure that everything's plugged in correctly by giving it a quick test run. And I'm gonna use a Sega Genesis, you notice I used composite for this initial test. So the monitor is gonna be eventually sold to the Museum of Art, and that is in Philadelphia for exhibits. And they always use these monitors on composite and maybe S video only. They don't use RGB. So I have to calibrate these pretty much on composite to make sure that everything looks right. So this is in the first time turning it on. You could tell we've got some major geometry issues. We've got a lot of screen bow. And so we're gonna need to get in there and at some point adjust pin cushion settings because it's what's going on with our corners. And that's why it looks like a bowed out globe almost on the picture. But the first thing we wanna do is get in here and work on the yoke because the yoke needs to be level so that the screen isn't tilted. And this one you have to manually turn that yoke. And honestly, the easiest way to get in here and work on this yoke, the first thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna power the monitor off, unplug it. And then I zoom in here, I'm unscrewing the one single screw that's holding in the yoke into place. And so you unscrew that a little bit and it's safe to get your hands in there now since it's unplugged and just work the, turn the yoke clockwise and counterclockwise, rotate a little bit till it breaks free. And I'm gonna pull out all these convergent strips on this one side because I don't think they're really working anymore. But the tech who installed this monitor just loaded the side with convergent strips. There were probably 10 to 12 on this one side of the monitor by itself. So I like to get rid of all those that way I can start from a fresh point, especially on an older model like this. And once you get those out, the yoke has to go far against these wedges. You see these blurred out black wedges, it's gotta be pushed back against them as hard as you can. So you gotta get in there, it just push it all the way up against those wedges till you can't push it any closer. You wanna try to get it level and even. And then you can go back around, turn the power back on and see how the screen looks. And that's where you kinda, I start now with my yoke adjustments. I like to get everything cleaned out there.  That way we can get a fresh yoke setting. And again, this is very kind of advanced. So the first thing I'm trying to do is just to continue on getting that yoke right in the right spot. So we'll get it now, get a quick test. And this is what I'm looking at up here. If you look at the top portion of this screen, see how it's leaning towards the left? I need to continue to adjust this yoke till I can get both the top and bottom as level as possible, you know, like train tracks. I wanna try to get the top and bottom level. And most of the time I'll go in and adjust a yoke while the PVM or monitor is still running. But since it's such a tight fit in here and you'll definitely shock yourself, at least with a little bit of voltage by trying to work on it without turning it off. So this was a little more tedious where you have to turn it off, make an adjustment, turn the monitor back on and see how it looks. So you do that two or three more times till you make sure that you've got it nice and level or as level as you can get it. And then you'll have to go in and retighten that screw on the back of the yoke that we looked at and your yoke is pretty well set. If you have any purity problems or convergence problems, you'll notice them after that, you know, and you can still go in then and move the yoke around a little bit more to help. But for the most part, you're just trying to get the top line to begin with and the bottom line centered. And you're gonna avoid a lot of purity and convergence issues by pushing that yoke all the way against that glass. So you can go in and make sure it's just pushed as far as possible against that glass and tighten it up with the monitor, this monitor powered off. So that's gonna pretty well do it for the repair and then the yoke settings. So the next video I'm gonna come in here and we're gonna tackle all the geometry and other settings inside of this monitor because that's a pretty in-depth task of using a lot of potentiometers. But we're also gonna go in here and replace the capacitors in here, especially on the geometry board. So that'll be the first thing we'll do in the next video and then we'll go ahead and run through the calibration settings and the final testing and putting it back together. So I appreciate you watching this video. If you learned anything new, please let me know or if you have any questions, leave them below or comments. I really appreciate everybody for watching and I'll see you guys on part two where we'll go through again, calibration and recapping. Thanks again, I'll see you guys next time with some more retro content.


Welcome to our session from allyship to sponsorship solutions to design a diverse and inclusive community. I'm sure you heard these terms before, but today it's all about putting them to practice. My name is Yurikendi Valdez. Well, I'm Kostora Placencia. We run a company called Forefront. In our day to day, we work with leaders such as yourself to help you build diverse and inclusive communities. But we're super, super excited about this session because allyship and sponsorship are the most powerful tools against bias. So the work starts today. And we put together an ambitious agenda to get you through the definitions into through some frameworks to kids, you can start using right after you finish watching this recording. So let's get to work. What is allyship? What is sponsorship? Allyship is the process of building relationships based on trust, consistency and accountability with marginalized individuals and or groups of people. So let's talk allyship. Often when you think of an ally, you might think of this scenario. Saturday night, you're on a train, you're about to catch a criminal still someone's wallet.  Are you an ally? That's just being a witness. You're there. You notice a bad event happening. And you said something about it. Basic duty as a human being. An ally is much more than that. It's about the proactive building of relationships. You're actively having to really work on getting to know people outside your circle, actively listening and being there for them. It takes work and we'll show you how to get started. But secondly, let's talk about sponsorship. Well, sponsorship is the ultimate game changer as a regards to being an ally. It's the ultimate form because it directly impacts someone's house's career and sponsor actively nominates people for opportunities, promotion, races, you name it. So if you want to do allyship at the highest level, you need to become a sponsor. And we'll also get to talk about that during the session. But let's dig deeper a little more. I said being an ally takes work. Well, it's because you're using all your senses as an ally. So this is a way to visually think about it. So from using your mouth, your words to speak against injustices. So if you're in a meeting and someone says a microaggression to someone else in the room, you can say, hey, that that wasn't nice. Here's the research. And maybe you should read this article or do this if we want to create a more inclusive environment for our team. So that's verbally you talking about it and exercising allyship. But an ally also digs deeper. You're like an inspector, you're sniffing around. Anytime you notice biases or any gaps in the system, you're asking yourself why and continuously reflecting. Even if the answers to the questions you're asking hurt, you hold yourself accountable because that's what an ally does. And similarly, you're using your eyes to make sure you're not putting on blinders. You're actually noticing when there's discrimination happening when certain people are not in the room that should be. And you're actively listening to those experiences that often don't get the center stage. You have those conversations and want to know the experience about women in technology or other marginalized communities. Similarly, you're always leading with your heart, right, your empathy, and being a leader that actively looks for opportunities to support other people. You know, as an ally, you might be out there protesting marching for justice, where you might simply be advocating for a new policy at work that allows people to to thrive. So an ally is really using all the resources to support other people. And a sponsor, again, which is the ultimate form of allyship, it's going beyond supporting people generally and putting pen to paper. Inviting someone to an exclusive event that's going to help their career. You're nominating them for an award. You're helping them get a promotion. You're helping them get a salary increase. A sponsor is a great advocate and champion for someone's career. And that's ultimately where you want to be right. Allyships are good. Yes, we need a better society and better world. But at the end of the day, how are we helping that individual get to that next stage. And, you know, I'm sure we feel like we've done this things before you're like, I got this, you know, I'm a good person, I've done that for people. But are we doing that actively data is showing that we're not in particular, more than 80% of white employees see themselves as allies. Yet, if you ask women, if you ask women of color in particular, just 45% of them say they have strong allies. And with Latinas in particular, 55% say they have allies. So there's a huge gap, and you see the same thing happening with sponsors. 13% of black women have sponsors that is a minimal number. What I mean is, is a sponsors usually have this meaning me complex right. I want to see a meeting me I want to be able to support someone that looks like me, because it reminds me of me, my background where I started, but the reality is, if the diversity of leadership leadership is different, who's going to help those other many needs, people of color and marginalized communities so as sponsors, we actively have to try to support people that are different from us, not just that are the same. And for us, you know, we love the work that we do because we lift it. We've been in the other side, we needed those sponsors and those allies as young professionals of color. Oswell, can you share more about what that experience was like for you. Yes, thank you. And while the data is important, the personal stories bring them to life. And here I am being thrown in the air as a one year old by my father. But what you may not know when you see what will now is that I was raised by a single mother, and my father was incarcerated and deported from the United States when I was just a few years old, limiting that photo to just a memory. And in one aspect of my identity, I'm also low income first generation and a person of color. Growing up, I didn't know what the word ally or sponsorship was, but many times I needed one I could have used one. And it was through allies and sponsors as I got older, that I even have the opportunity to speak to you all today. I'm sharing that. And my story is very similar. I was born in a small town in the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean, and like many, many folks in search for better life. My parents ended up immigrating to the United States. And so I was separated from my parents for a long, long time. And when I finally got my visa to come to the United States, I was already 11. And I was put in a world where I didn't know any English, I often felt like the only one, but I did have those allies along the way those sponsors that gave me internship opportunities, gave me projects. And at the end of the day, I ended up encountering a lot of these labels and stigmas that for me was just my identity, being Dominican, being Afro Latina, being a woman, but for some others, they've read it as as as stereotypes as stigmas of things to fight against. And so I, for me, and for Josuel, we ended up doing this work and leaving the workplace because we knew there was a better way. There was a better way to be allies and sponsors, especially to the next generation. And take you through a very recent example. You know, the reason I left work was because of the police brutality that I witnessed in the communities and I'm sure you heard this past year about the Black Lives Matter movement take on the global stage as people as allies, got in the streets to create better relationships between the police and communities of color, especially the Black community. We'll see that happened to me while I was at work. And I remember crying and not having anyone to speak about this. I wish I had an ally who would have taken me on a walk or invited me to a meal and simply listen to my experiences and my stories. So these are things that will continuously play out and will be up to us to bring out our allyship to bring out our sponsorship to actively be there for someone. So that brings you in to the conversation. Where do you play in this world? What does your identity tell you about the way you can give allyship and sponsorship and the way you also receive it, right? In some cases we're allies, in some cases we receive allyship, in some cases we're sponsors, and in some cases we're protégés, we're folks that are either the giving in or the receiving in, it's a very reciprocal relationship. But let me take you through a model that might explain how this system really works. So as you see here, you see coins, money. We're all born with a bag of coins. And the question is, not how much money you have, but are we heads or tails? How many heads and tails do you have in your bag? Which one's better? Well, we heard this before, you know, heads, you win, tails, you lose, you don't want to be in the tail end of the stick, right? So why am I talking about these things? Well, coin, money are a good model for talking about systems of inequality. See, they're twofold. So at the head of the coin, you, my experience, privileged.  You have advantages that others do not just because of who you are. And at the bottom of the coin, you might experience oppression. You might see and feel disadvantages that others do not. You did not earn it. It's just simply because of who you are. And this plays out in a spectrum of identities. So what we see usually in most societies is that people at the top of the coin that experience privilege are white, young, educated men. At the bottom of the coin, you often see women, LGBTQ immigrants, low income folks, under-resourced folks. And the reality is, it hurts to see it, that the system works like that. But again, that's why allies and sponsors are important. Because just like Oswin mentioned, just by working hard enough, we don't have, we do not all have equal resources to get there. We need allies and sponsors along the way to help us rebalance the scale, rebalance the system. To take you through what that process looks like of really looking at your bag of coins that you were given at birth, we call it, you got to empty your bag of coins. You got to let go of all these things we carry, the power, the privilege or oppression and start to really understand where you play across different systems. So, Josuel, what has it been like to empty your bag of coins? It's been a journey, and it's complex. On my end, I may walk into a room and you may see me with both heads and tails. And that's visible identity, there's parts you may not know. For example, I am and I identify as a man, and that is a clear hand in society. That said, I am also a young person who grew up low income. And I am a person of color and a son of immigrants, and that brings ails and disadvantages. But for me it is important, and in my journey and I'm still coming to terms and struggling with this journey. And the more I get out there and I tell my story and I share where I come from, the more comfortable I can be coming to terms with my privilege with my gender, due to my current immigration status as an American, and also come to terms with some of the challenges that I have in the tails. We were sharing that, and you know, I'm sure that for you, Josuel, similar to myself, because of those tails, sometimes we didn't feel like we deserve that level of sponsorship. You know, we internalize our oppression to the point that we think we didn't deserve access to those things. So that's when allies really come in to make someone else feel like they belong, feel value. But to do that, to hold yourself accountable, you have to empty your bag of coins too. So obviously this is just a recording. So in your own time, do me a favor, pause the video here and do the same exercise. Run through each identity category and ask yourself, as regards to race, are you heads or tails, as regards to your gender, are you heads or tail, and really come to terms with how your identity plays into this big system. And hold yourself accountable for those identities as you give allyship, give sponsorship, as well as receive it. Let me give you a specific example of why that helps you. So let's say there was a colleague that is in the middle of a salary negotiation. They stated that they need help. So first, you have to ask, okay, what can I do to support this. You start by asking yourself, as regards to salary negotiation, this system of salary compensation, I heads, or am I at the tail end. So someone like me is definitely at the tail end data says black women get paid the less in the workplace, right. For the same amount of work.  So there you say actually have an opportunity to help here, because I have privileges I have advantages in this conversations I did not earn it, but just because the system works. Okay, great.  What do you do. Well, one thing you can do in this case is demonstrate transparency around your own salary can be scary right. Money is, we don't talk about it right, but in this case to be an ally transparency is key. And you can also ask your friends your colleagues to do the same, because the more you the more allies you have for a specific scenario the more effective you're going to be. And why, why is important because if this colleague that you have sees your salary and you have the same role, they can advocate to get the same salary as you to another level. Again, if you're using your nose your sniffing senses. If you're using really taking those blinders off, you're going to ask questions, you want to facilitate a conversation you want to do your research and invite your leadership to be part of it and say hey let's talk about pay equity. And why it's important for me, even though you're not the one getting pay less in your case, pay equity might be important because you know your colleagues are going to be more productive. They're going to make it easier for you, you might have family members friends who experienced the same things. So you're putting yourself in their shoes. And lastly, you can even coach your colleague on salary negotiation best practices, what has worked for you, and you can share that in their journey. But let's say you are ready for the next level up right, you want to be a sponsor.  So you're actually saying, I see the system is not working. What can I do. So if you're in manager position that's easy. You can just make sure that their job offer or their race is equitable. So you can actually sign on that. But let's say you're not. You can simply pay for a course and give it as a gift for a salary negotiation course. Again, this is what being an ultimate ally means. It takes money, it takes resources and energy, but that's what it takes to balance the scale. Next, we're going to talk about another framework because, again, you're not going to do this work overnight. So we want to give you as many tools in that journey to help you become a better ally and sponsor as well. You want to take it away. To be a strong ally and a strong sponsor means to be aware of your own identity and that of others and your bag of points. You may be asking though, how do you do that. Well, we want to propose a way. That may sound familiar because it sounds similar to a traditional framework that we've seen out here. That was popularized by Simon Sinek, where he saw that the trends of successful leaders and successful companies is to start with their why and their purpose. You have to prioritize your who, over your why. And here's why, no pun intended. We all exist in a series of relationships. So our relationship with ourselves or internalized relationship or relationship with others interpersonal relationships. And then the relationships of the institutions that we take a part of, whether that's a school whether that's a company, whether that's public health institution of bank, etc. We participate in systemic relationships, which are the governing bodies of all of these different institutions when they come together. And specific to us in the open source community. There are the different open source communities that we are part of some of them listed here within all of these groups and networks and networks of relationships. Experiences mean you can share a little bit of our experiences heads and tails, our identities, but we just grasp the surface. And not only is there a huge diversity of experiences. But we experience these identities in very different ways. Some we may emphasize personally some identities over others, we may think about some parts of our identities over others, others may interpret certain parts of our identity. More than we interpret them in ourselves. Some gives us advantages and disadvantages, etc. Here is one example of that using an identity well. We ask you not start with why, but actually start with who make that deep reflection about your own identities, your own bag of coins, and also do the same for others and listen, take time to listen to others and understand who they are and where they're coming from. Ultimately, this is going to make you a better and more effective leader. In my case, what is my who. Well, as you know, as someone who is first generation, low income son of Dominican immigrants. I am passionate about the stories and redefining narratives. And for me, the way I do that might want is delivering training and consulting at forefront. And ultimately that's connected to my why, which is I envision a world where anybody independent of their backgrounds, understood, starting with who is going to lead to benefits as an ally and as a sponsor as an ally you build more effective relationships. And as a sponsor, you're going to uncover more opportunities to be a sponsor. Just like you can't even mention earlier, we really encourage you to take time to do this exercise for yourself. Write your own circle and write your food. And here's one way to do that. Sit down and allow where you personally identify in the following categories in this identity. And also reflect how your identity affects your ability to be a sponsor or an ally. So feel free to take this for your own personal reflection. And here's another exercise. Take a broader view after you started with why and think about your own network. Or the people that you're bringing into the room, or the languages they speak. And what are the identity dimensions. Who has the power, who lacks a control of power. And one of my favorite exercises as well as a little bonus is list your five closest friends or colleagues. What is their background, what does your network look like. Additional questions for you to reflect on include asking tough questions around what are the future potential opportunities and limitations given my network and give it my true. And also ask yourself what you want to do different. So moving forward, you're starting with who now or the later end of our presentation or better said or later and we're going to present three ways that we can become a better ally and sponsor right now. Awesome, we went through a couple of great frameworks, emptying your bag of coins and start with who these frameworks take a long time. It's a journey to reflect on our identities, build relationships our side of circle it takes humility vulnerability. And in the process, it's not essential to get it right immediately, but what is important is that you do go through that process, so you can become a better ally and sponsor. Okay, what is something you can start right now to at least start practicing what allyship and sponsorship looks like so for the last part of this presentation we're going to leave you with three takeaways. And with number one, create allyship and sponsorship intentional goals. So we all go through career planning. We make our goals for the year. We recommend that you add one around allyship and sponsorship. It can be as simple as I want to invite three people to my home for dinner to start building those relationships and extending my network white dinner why something personal why something fun, because remember, these relationships are based on trust. So you can call yourself a good ally or a sponsor, unless you know who you're trying to support and help. Let's see another example. As a regards to allyship. You can say, I want to push for my company to create a more robust parental leave policy. This is a great goal. You're actively shaping the future of your company and affecting the policy. That's what allies do. But let's say you're not as passionate about parental leave policy, even though it's a very important issue. It can be about anything, but writing specific goals helps you become a better ally. Let's see one around sponsorship. Awesome. Sponsorship remember is actively promoting someone so you can have a goal to at least promote one emerging leader in your team. And let's say you're not a manager yet you're not in a position of power, but you have a very close relationship to that decision maker. So you can actively recommend someone that them speak highly of them. So they have a higher chance of getting that promotion so you still can be a sponsor for someone. Now let's take it away to take away number two. Number two, understand the past but redesign the future and the European context. The past is many times I think when you look at colonialism and imperialism. We see the European influence in the world. It's illustrated in this map, and it is a fact that we need to come to terms with. And many times you see history repeat itself, even today. The major of history has led to irresponsible design and many, and in many ways is influencing when we see the lack of diversity in the open source community today. For example, only less than 7% of type professionals in Europe, or women. And this is when we look at open source users. According to a GitHub survey, they are 95% male and open source users and developers, according to a GitHub survey identified as 16% racial and or ethnic minorities. We are setting ourselves up for longevity. Are we building a sustainable open source movement. Design that is achieved for and my communities that make up Europe is equitable. When it's the opposite. It is unequivocal. We must have designers engineers team leaders that reflect our communities. Unfortunately, there are a lot of challenges to that reality. Here we have a survey from the Pew Research Center that shares that for many, they see diversity as a threat, or see diversity in an indifferent manner. That is the reality that we also have to face that we're far from getting to where we need to be. And that is coming against the trends. The world is becoming much more diverse. Africa is the world. The most emerging and fastest growing continent. And there's a shift. We talked about China, but in 200, 200, 100, the biggest countries in the world are actually going to be India and Nigeria. That said, we have an aging Europe as we all know, there are many trends coming together, asking us questions. But yes, we need to understand the past, redefine the future. Now for number three. Last but not least, let's aim for sponsorship over allyship. Remember, sponsorship is the ultimate level of allyship. And it's because research tell us that those that have sponsors, staying in their company longer, they believe they have someone that is really, really advocating for their career. So being a sponsor goes a long way. So let's not get comfortable being an ally. Let's work our way to figure out how we can become sponsors. And the good news is that the more you work at being a sponsor, the more you further your own career. So thank you so much for listening. And these are just a couple of things you can start doing literally tomorrow. Just bring more people to the room. Be someone's hype person, advocate for someone actively refer people to opportunities. And we're excited to dig into this work with you. Thank you so much.


Straighten out to the state where the Catholic bishop of the Darces there, most reverend Felix Ajakaier has urged Nigerian political leaders to work towards eradicating poverty. He said that there is no justification for poverty among Nigerians. Ajakaier made a call at the graduation ceremony for vocational skilled trainees and the distribution of start-up kids to 400 people trained by courageous Nigerians. Now reverend father will be able to urge the government and citizens to collaborate to eradicate poverty. If we want to eradicate poverty in Nigeria, we can do it. But our government and the citizens must mean it. So it's not about government alone. It's everybody for us to eradicate it. Let everybody be involved in the process. And what can I not provide? But when a government is centralized and believe that I can do it all, no government can do it all. In Nigeria, poverty is a major problem. And when the people are complaining that they are poor, I wonder what we'd like to do to be safe. So we show that the most peace in the poverty of this program is really good. That our peoples to appreciate character, we really, really appreciate it. Thank you for watching.


تشرف بالاشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دادا دالا وياله من شراف عظيمي الثوة هي الجهالة هل أنت أعلم؟ هل أنت أعلم؟ هل أنت معي؟ الجهالة العين أخي، إذا كانت خرصية من ناريطة إذا كانت لديه عدالة لا يمكن أن يساعده إنه تقول له أخي لأنه يخبره في الممارس فهل أنت أخذت معي؟ إذا أنت أخذت معي أنا أخذت معه بممارس أخذت بممارس كانت تأكيدا إنه يتعلم أو سؤال حفظي أو الغفلة أو كثرة أو هامي أو مخالفة الثقاتي هؤلاء أمام تخبريني يخبروني يخبروني يخبروني يخبروني يخبروني يخبروني ما هو أول من الضهر الذي أخبرته؟ لن نبدأ مع العلق now لماذا ستبدأ مع العلق؟ لأن العلق يبدأ من الأبد من المرات الحديث و ستفعله يصدق بسرعة العلق نعم فمالمردودو الحديث الذي يتنسي إما أنه لأنه لسقطم أو طعن or a criticism فسقطو this connection إما أن يركون it is possible it takes place what من مبدأ السندي from the beginning of the chain من مصنفين from the author of the book already told you about it it can happen from the beginning of the chain of the author of the book good أو من آخره بعد التابعي أو the ending بعد التابعي so it is the same أو غير ذلك أو other than it فأول المعلق sorry he said من مبدأ السند it can be from the مبدأ السند which is what which is معلق أو من آخره بعد التابعي that is Mursal أو غير ذلك أو other than it أو من قطر those are the four types that I just mentioned pay attention now we are going to start with the first one which is معلق معلق is what first of all is مفعول and it is from what من التعليق التعليق means what brothers learn this okay it is to hang something on top of a ceiling it is to literally dangle something that is what I am going to talk about أناطه و ربطة بها و جعله معلقن بسبب التصالي من الجهة العلية فقط the reason why they call it معلق is because it is connected from the other side of the prophet side are you guys with me but from after the bottom there is nothing there so the rope when it dangles it does not touch the floor does it it is dangling so that part that is not touching the floor is the part which makes it معلق right when it is like that it is معلق و لذلك the 11 women that came and sat down and spoke to each other و حديثة أمو زرع one of the women she said إن أنطق if I speak about my husband و طلق he will divorce me و إن أسكت و إن أسكت and if I become silent و علق I will just hang the angle so if I speak about him and I say something about him he will divorce me he will hear it and he will divorce me if I am silent I am basically like a woman that is not married so I have no way out if I speak about him and I criticize him he will divorce me if I what if I try to tell him if I try to be silent about it and not tell anyone about it then I am just basically a person who is living a rough life I am just dangling so the word علق in Arabic that is what it means it means that that is what it means linguistically what does it mean ما حذيفة it is that which is it's been taken hidden من مبدأ إسناديه it is that the chain of narration one person or more ولو إلى آخر الإسنادي even if it's to the ending of the chain of narration this is called معلق don't worry we are going to come to the types of تعليق how it comes how it occurs in details but what it means is that what we are going to do it's صور it's forms it comes in we are going to take the forms it comes in it's only five forms we are going to take it إن شاء الله تعالى معلق means it is ما حذيفة anything helpful means in Arabic it means something that is removed deleted or taken removed ما حذيفة it is to remove من مبدأ إسناديه from the beginning of the chain when we say the beginning pay attention brothers we don't mean it from the profit side we mean it from the author of the book side so بخاري's book for example or with Dawood's book any scholar who wrote a book his side his angle from his teacher onward it's called معلق okay he removes that person if it's one person it's معلق if it's more than one person it's also معلق are you guys with me even if it's to the ending of the chain is what it's a معلق okay it's a معلق إبلو الصلاح النووي and عراقي they said with the condition it has to be مجزوم it has to be done with سغة الجزم which is we take a last lesson that he has to narrate it not with the سغة تمرق سغة الجزم in order if it's for it to be to be معلق إراقي says in his الفيا وإن يكون أول اسمادي حذف مع سغة الجزم فتعليق عرف ولو إلى آخره أما الذي لشيخ عزاي بقال فاكري عن عانة كخابر المعاز في لا تسغي ابن حزم للمخالف so إراقي الحمو الله he mentions that if it's the beginning of that chain of the narration مع السغة الجزم but it has to be narrated with the سغة الجزم such as the word قاله عن it can't be قيلة هوية يحكى يذكر all the السغة التمرق they don't know that it has to be معلق ولذلك إراقي إراقي عن كخابر المعاز في وسط عن the story is the حديث of the music عن عانة إراقي's he said لا تسغي لبن حزم للمخالفي ابن حزم don't give an attention to what he said don't bring your ear close to his speech it has no weight not right incorrect إراقي إراقي إراحم الله he said in a thousand lines of poetry رحم الله so the word تعليق means what it means معلقة it means a woman that's not married that's not divorced she's a معلقة الله تعالي he said about the woman ولم تستطع أن تعدل بين النسائي ولو حرست you'll never be able to give all your wives their rights as much as you try فلا تميلوا كل الميلي فتذروها كل معلقة فلا تميلوا do not turn towards one of the women so much that the other one becomes what كل معلقة then she becomes the معلقة you're not married and you're not divorcing her you see Allah orders in the Quran the way we we married to the woman is what إمساكم بمعروفة أو أو تصرح بإحسان بمعروفة أو in good or let the girl go don't not in between okay so we learned what the word the word تعليق what it means we've learned it صور المعلقة the forms that معلقة come in this is very important that you learn it it comes in five ways إن شاء الله the first way it comes in is أن يحذف جميع السنة the whole of the chain of narration is disconnected خلاص all of it مع إضافة القول إلى قائله but with the condition of what ascribing to the speech of the person who said it so for example if you take بخاري what say what قال رسول الله what has he dropped his teacher and everyone the chain of narration but he has ascribed the speech to the owner of the speech which is the prophet are you guys with me good that's the first one remember it always has to be from the beginning of the chain the second one is أن يحذف أن يحذف that it's that it's removed جميع السنة مع عدم إضافة القول إلى قائله the speech is not ascribed to the individual who said it the second one is the speech is not ascribed to the person who said it the whole of the chain is disconnected the third one is أن يحذف that it's removed جميع السنة all of the chain of narration إلا الصحابي except the companion is not removed so he says قال رسول الله بخاري بخاري what say you say أن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله وطعال عنه قال قال رسول الله بخاري where is it gone are you with me 4 أن يحذف جميع السنة that he removes all of the chain of narration إلا الصحابي except the companion والتابعي and also the fifth one is what the fifth one is أن يحذف من حدثه he only removes the person who who told him he removes the person who who told him ويضيف for إلا من فوقه and anyone after that he mentions it he just drops out his teacher and after that he mentions it he drops out his teacher here those are the examples أصحيح البخاري go to the introduction of رحم الله in which he talks about how بخاري wrote his book and he talks about it there pay attention وليس من صور المعلق it is not from the forms of معلق ما عزاه المؤنف that which a teacher ascribes to a student ascribes to the author of the book ascribes to his teacher by saying قالة if a teacher ascribes to his teacher and he says قالة even though what قالة isn't meant to be used because it's meant to be used حدثني أخبرني to make it clear that he heard it from him but if a student such as بخاري uses the what قالة of his own teacher this is not it's not from the forms of معلق حكمها it's really is what حكم المعلق عن this takes the rolling of them عن that's what آي بنو أراك رحم الله mentioned that's what رحم God he said وَإِيَا كُنْ أَوْلُوا الْإِسْنَادُ أُحُوذِفْ مع صيغة الجزم فالتعليق نعرف ولو ولو إلى آخره أملب لشيخ عذا بقال فاك عن عنة كخبر المعازيف من الشيخ من أمام المخارف ومخارف يستخدم قالة و here is given what قالة of مخارف رحم الله is given the ruling of عن as though he used the word عن if the حديث is narrated with عن from a narrator scholars look at it with two things first of all is what لقاء الراوي اللي من روعده that this person had met this person in which he used the word قالة for Did Bukhari meet Heisham Ibn Ammar? Yes he did Good second condition they look at is that سلامة الراوي من التدليس that the person is safe from what تدليس to use the word what for him to organize which we're going to take in detail Insha'Allah what تدليس means in more detail Insha'Allah we're going to take it What's the ruling of a حديث which is معلق What's the ruling of a حديث which is معلق الحديث المعلق ضعيف the حديث which is معلق is weak Why? لأنه فقط الشرطن من شروط القبول because it is missing a condition from the conditions of acceptance of a حديث which was what which is the connection of the chain of narration is missing because a narrator is missing or even more than a narrator is missing and we as other people of a حديث they require to know who is the person who is missing or what is this situation like they want to know who is this person but that being the معلق being weak and not being accepted and rejected is as long as it's not in a book which conditions authenticity as long as it's not in a book that conditions authenticity if a book في كتاب اشتارة الصحة if a book who condition authenticity narrates it the scholars have looked at it in a different angle such as for example which are two books التزمت الصحة they condition that the book is going to be authentic مقاري المسلم مقاري المسلم they have a specific rule them too they have a unique ruling generally the معلق is rejected because it is disconnected like in these two books it is different the scholars they say that their situation is too the Hadith which are معلق which are in صحيحين مقاري المسلم they cannot be in one of these two Cubs okay in one of these two Cubs for example مكان معلق the Hadith is معلق it's معلق in a book واجاء موصولا في الكتاب نفسه but in so the author such as امام المسلم امام المقاري at the beginning he brings the Hadith معلق here but in another place he brings it معصول and a lot of times what you find is معصول means it connected he brings it connected at the beginning and in the middle generally he does that he doesn't bring it later with the chain again why? because it's not significant are you guys with me? so he narrates it here معصول gives you the chain of narration half way in the book he narrates it with the chain of narration disconnected okay و هذا هو الكثير الغالب على معلقات الصحيحين and that's the majority of the Hadith مقاري المسلم the majority that is one if the second one is ما لم يوجد إلا معلقات we can't find this Hadith in a whole book we check the book and we can't find it معلق anywhere in the book in any other place the scholars they say okay now there's two situations regarding this one we look for it this Hadith Muslim he only narrated it معلق in his book are you guys with me? who has more معلق بقاري المسلم بقاري has more معلق بقاري has more معلق than Muslim بقاري has more معلق than Muslim okay pay attention pay attention if ما لم يوجد إلا معلقات we looked for it إن صحيح البقاري or we looked for it in صحيح المسلم and we could not find it except معلق in through the whole of the book here it has two ways we did with it if he narrated it بسيغة الجزم he narrated it with a word رواء دكاراء حكا يلسى here سيغة الجزم صحيح if he narrated it with a word رواء فهذا السيغة يستفاد منها الصحة إلى من علق عنه يلسى that we see now هذناري the Hadith short authenticity to whoever he has described it to the second one is if he narrates it بسيغة التمريل بسيغة روية ويرواء ويذكرو ويقالو this for example the scholars they said authenticity and weakness is not taken from it all that can be taken from it is according to the author of the book he sees it weak but it's not necessarily going to be weak this one what does it require we will say this one we need to do a research and find it in other books where they are authentic so there has to be a little bit of research a little bit of research so the scholars would go and they research they find it either weak and they would follow the author of the book where he just said or they find it authentic in other works and in other places now so the Hadith which are معلق the way it's dealt with مخاري and Muslim should be known distinct and different and other books also should be known and the ruling of it نعم والثاني the second time the second time which is والثاني المرسال the second one is المرسال إراقسين رحم الله مرفوع تابعون على المشهوري مرسال أو قياده بالكبيري أو سقتراوي منه ذو أقوالي والأول الأكثر في استعمالي مرسال اسم مفعول لن اسم مفعول من الإرسال وأصله من قولهم is from the speech of the Arabs where they say أرسال الشيئة to send something أطلاقه freed it وأهمله forsaked it and Allah says in the Quran ألم ترى أنه do you not see أنه أرسلنا الشياطين على الكافرينة that we sent we sent the shayateen to the disbelievers أنه أرسلنا الشياطين على الكافرينة أنه أرسلنا الشياطين على الكافرينة تأزوم أزا استلاحا what is the technical meaning استلاحا is means ما رفاعه التابعي it is that which a tabi ascribes to the messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم even if a companion narrates from another companion it's also called mursal a companion narrates from another companion it's also called mursal mursal is a topic which in reality that has brought a lot of a lot of problems and a lot of خلافات
