In this presentation, we're going to review the different modalities and most common usages of e-therapy and counseling. We'll identify some potential clinical and ethical issues which are covered in other courses in the certification track, but we're going to kind of touch on them today. And we'll learn at least three unique ideas for doing online counseling and talk about what treatment structure can look like, how you might be able to integrate e-therapy into your practice even if you don't want to do it exclusively. For this, it's going to be helpful if you review the online counseling, a handbook for mental health professionals, as well as go to the website www.netlingo.com in order to learn some of the, guess what, netlingo. It's going to be important that you know your little acronyms and stuff. So when people are typing in shorthand, you're not looking at it going, what in the world is this person talking about?  So what modalities are available? A lot of people think video, and that's it. And that's all they think about when it comes to online counseling, electronic counseling. But there are a lot of different modalities that you can use. You can use emails, blogs, secure forms, forums, chat rooms, IMs and tweets, video chat, second life, and the good old telephone. And we're going to talk about each one of those. And not each one of these is not appropriate necessarily for counseling per se. Sometimes it's pushing out a positive message to people. So if you have a Twitter account, for example, you can tweet a positive message for the day. And your clients can choose to subscribe or follow your Twitter account if they want to. They don't have to. But that is one way of communicating and keeping things coming out, as well as touching multiple clients at the same time.  So tweets. As I said, this is a great way to push out positive thoughts for the day. It's a great way to let clients know if you're going to be out sick and the office is going to be closed or it's going to be closed because of inclement weather or something. But really think about ways you can use it to provide those little snippets, those little golden nuggets that clients can use each day, either a positive quotation or a cheerleading statement or some sort of a reminder about something to do in order to improve their health and wellness. I've used this for morning focus meditations and evening roundup meditations. So I've sent out a tweet to all my followers saying, don't forget to do your morning meditation or your evening one. And they have those meditations handy. And I typically use fillable PDF forms for clients who are exclusively virtual. If you see a client say once a month or once every couple of weeks face to face, you may have them fill out the old-fashioned paper kind and bring them in. It depends on your client and depends on you how you're going to do that. But that's a way to make sure that people are remembering to do their assignments. You're prompting them. It's not secure, as I said. So don't use any PHI. Don't congratulate anybody and say, you know, way to go. Sally Smith for graduating. No, that's a huge violation. But it is important. I mean, you can send out a message that says to all the people who are graduating from the Depression Management Group this week, you know, I just want to say a great big thank you. No PHI is going out, but it is expressing congratulations and your appreciation for them participating. It's a good way to get the word out about your approach. If you tweet things, if you're a solution-focused therapist, you may tweet solution-focused questions or concepts from solution-focused therapy. Or if you're a cognitive behavioral therapist, you may put out a tweet about a particular irrational thought or cognitive distortion and how to address it. I mean, 140 characters doesn't give you a lot. But in today's society, people are really looking for mini-nuggets, something they can read and ponder while they're going to the bathroom or while they're walking from their car to the office. They're not looking for something that's going to take them 20 minutes to read. And remember, tweets are not a therapy approach. They're not going to use it to interact with clients.  You're not going to have clients tweet you about problems that they're having. That would be completely inappropriate and a violation of HIPAA among a whole bunch of other things. It's a method for you to get information. It's kind of a one-way thing to get information out. And then clients can respond if there's a response needed through a secure format such as, you know, sending you a secure email or whatever if you're prompting them to do something. Emails. Emails use a secure service. It's important to make sure that you're not using Google or Gmail or Yahoo or AOL. You need to have a service in which the email provider has signed a business associate agreement. And that doesn't mean they said, yeah, we're HIPAA compliant. No problem here. Well, that's great. But HIPAA says in the High Tech Act say, unless they actually sign a business associate agreement with you, it doesn't count. They are not HIPAA compliant and neither are you. So you need to use a service that is HIPAA compliant. Even if you are using a secure service, make sure your email doesn't give away who you are. You can have it at substance abuse counselor at docsnipes.com. You know, that would just give away somebody's privacy to anybody who happened to be able to access their email. If for some reason you don't use a secure service, I can't think of any reason that you would want to do that. But again, you need to make sure that your email address doesn't give away who you are and do not use any patient identifying information in the email. So, you know, maybe you do educational seminars and you're sending out information about an educational seminar. That's one reason you may not use a secure service. Now, if you're sending it out to people who are current clients of yours or past clients of yours, then PHI and HIPAA and all that other stuff still count. So you need to use secure email. If you're just sending out people who you've never interacted with before, then you don't need to worry about the security if it's an announcement of an educational presentation or, you know, a new group opening or something. You do need to be aware of spam laws in your local and jurisdiction and nationally. What has to go into an email in order to make it legal and compliant from so you don't get hit with violation of anti-spam laws. Certain services do offer secure email, hushmail, ziksmail. What's the one that we use? I can't think of the one that we used to use right now, but there are a lot of different services. Luxai, that's who we used to use, that offer secure email and they provide you a business associate agreement. Emails are considered part of the clinical record and can be subpoenaed just like progress notes. So it's really important that, number one, you keep the emails. Number two, you maintain the privacy confidentiality. Number three, you have a backup. So if your email server goes kaput, you still have that information somewhere because it's part of the clinical record. And you want to store those emails in, I generally store them in the area with progress notes unless it's an activity. So you want to pay attention to where you're storing hard copies of the emails or copies of the emails in your electronic record because the standard for producing progress notes is a lot higher than the standard for producing intake information and other stuff that's in your chart. So you want to make sure that, you know, highly sensitive information, it takes a lot more to get it subpoenaed. And provide clients with a response timeframe. If you're going to use email or any method for that matter of electronic communication, let clients know that I will respond within 24 hours or I'll respond within two hours. The timeframe should be shorter for things like text. If you are supposed to be online and available for text messaging, then you need to let them know that you'll respond within 20 minutes or whatever your guidelines are. But that way the client doesn't get upset, start to feel abandoned, start to freak out. The benefits of emails are that they can provide a running diary of progress and are excellent for people who like to write and ponder like introverts and reflective learners. And you can use emails in so many different ways. You can have people write it like a diary. You can have an unstructured diary where they just, you know, write. You can have a structured diary where they answer certain questions every single morning and every single evening. You can have them do certain activities and email them to you. So email is a way, basically think of it as a method of getting information from a client. You can have them do a digital collage and email it to you. That's still an email. It's still something that they're sending to you via email. So email is a method of sending the information to you. So don't just get locked into it has to be a conversation because there's so much more you can do with email. You can also email them information. If you find a, you know, booklet or you create a booklet on depression management or a worksheet that you want them to do. You can email that to them and they can either email it back to you or you can email it to them as a fillable PDF and then that will automatically email back to you. Many electronic health records will allow, they'll communicate with fillable PDF. So when they email it back, it goes directly into their patient record. So that's something to consider. But it's really not that big of a deal to import an attachment into most other electronic health records. Drawbacks to email, you can miss a lot when you don't see the rate of responding. So if you don't see somebody increase their typing because they're getting really upset about something or because they're really happy, typing like crazy or if you miss errors in typing or see an increase in errors because they're typing so fast because they're angry or excited, you're not going to necessarily pick up on that. You just see them typing and then not typing and then typing and then not typing. And sometimes that will go on for a while and you'll, well, I guess that's more with I.M. with email, you don't even get that. Email gives patients time to go back and edit which may remove some of the underlying meanings. They start to edit themselves. They start to second-guess themselves. Sometimes it can be awesome because they can start to learn to put a filter on some stuff. But sometimes you don't want them to filter stuff. So it's important to think, you know, are they going to send me this or are they going to try to edit it to make it grammatically correct and everything which can take some of the, you know, underlying meanings out. Obviously email is not appropriate for patients in crisis because it's asynchronous. It is not happening with you at that point in time. You may choose if you've got a client who has been in crisis but is now stable, you may choose them to have, choose to have them email you morning check-ins, you know, or something. So you know how they're doing each day. You may choose to do that. But remember, if they're in crisis, they need, you know, obviously interaction right now. Formats, like I said, you can use a diary that's sort of free form or structured worksheet completion such as CBT worksheets or relapse prevention worksheets. You can give them questions to ponder like the miracle question or what are 10 strengths that have helped you to survive until now. You know, whatever works for your client and activities to do like digital collages or you can have them go and find three websites that provide information about whatever presenting issue they have or good nutrition for depression or something and encourage them to do that and then send them back to you so you know what they're reading. You know what they're seeing. Now blogs I mentioned and again, this is not going to be a blog that's out there for everybody if it's something the client is writing. But if you're writing the blog, it can be a way to provide information to a group of people. You know, if you specialize in anger management or relationships, Google really likes content. So if you're putting good content on your blog, more people are going to find it. It is not secure or HIPAA compliant unless you make it that way. So if you're just communicating one way, putting information out there and then saying, you know, if this sounds like it's you, contact me and here's my phone number or something, that's one thing. If you are wanting to interact with the patient, it has to be secure. It's an excellent activity to inform patients about conditions, you know, depression, postpartum depression, PTSD, new treatments and new programs you may be offering because blogs get crawled by the bots like Google and Yahoo and Bing more often than a static HTML page. Blogs can be an excellent opportunity for patients who have something to say to the world. Now this isn't where they're going to be spilling their PHI, but if they want to raise awareness about breast cancer or domestic violence or date rape or whatever it is, if they want to start their own advocacy campaign, this is one way they can feel empowered to start getting their message out there to the world. Secure blog formats. Now if you're going to have a client do a blog for you where there's going to be personal information, you're going to have it behind firewalls and secured and all kinds of stuff that your tech staff is going to have to get involved in. So let's just say that ahead of time. But it can be really wonderful. Clients can do a video blog or a blog which can be used for daily check-ins, excellent for addictions, eating disorders, major depression, generalized anxiety because they're doing a blog, they're saying, hey, this is me, this is how I am. I get an idea of whether they've bathed all that kind of stuff and they get to talk. They don't have to sit there and think about what they're typing. Many youth really prefer a blog format as opposed to a printed format, text of some sort because they're so comfortable talking on FaceTime or whatever. It's not a big deal for them to do it. So they have to have a little bit of technology savvy here in the world to upload it to a secure server that you manage, but it's possible. You can have them do a blog with pictures. Some people aren't into the words thing, but you can have them find pictures or memes that can be used as a means of creative and therapeutic expression if there's a particular theme like courage that you want them to focus on. Have them find 10 pictures that symbolize courage to them and maybe talk about a sentence why each one represents courage. It can also be created like an online scrapbook with pages for what means the most to me, my goals, my accomplishments and about me. And this works really well with teens, but it really works well with just about anybody to help them kind of organize in their mind. What's important? What gives me a rich and meaningful life and what direction am I going? And a text blog, you know, obviously one that's just using words can be used as a running diary. It can be used as an opportunity for people to tell their story if they want to. But again, this is just between you and the client and it's behind your personal secure firewalls and in order to make it HIPAA compliant. Nobody else has access. You have to have password protection on it and everything. Again, that's in the HIPAA class, but just be aware that they're the opportunity for what you can do with digital communication is pretty much limitless. You just have to have a really good IT guy who can make sure everything is encrypted.  You don't want to have somebody putting in entries for 10 days and then finally get to it.  If they're doing daily entries, you need to do daily reviews. You need to set rules for appropriate use of the blogs. This is not to be used when you're in crisis. This is not to be used if there are certain passive aggressive threatening behaviors that they may do to get attention or whatever. There need to be very clear guidelines about what's acceptable in a blog and if they violate that, what's going to happen? Which, you know, you quit using that as a modality. Certain behaviors that are persistent, the person may end up not being appropriate for e-therapy and counseling. So it's important to set those ground rules ahead of time. Forums, now these are kind of going by the wayside but some places still use them and they can be really helpful. They're a good place for people to ask questions to a group and let the group provide answers. So forums are asynchronous. You post a question and then you come back a little while later and see what responses there are and they must be moderated. You can't just turn a forum loose and go, you know, good luck. You can have public forums on your website for people to communicate about depression or anxiety or, you know, supporting a teen who is struggling with being bullied or whatever. Make sure it's moderated and obviously if the people in that public forum are not your clients, you know, those are just the general public, John Q. Public. If you want to have a forum for your clients, obviously it still needs to be secure, encrypted, behind a wall, yada yada. But it is a place where clients can provide support to one another. Moderation needs to occur preferably three or four times a day if it's an open forum just to make sure that nobody has expressed any suicidal ideation or become antagonistic or flaming or anything like that. Appropriate forum behavior must be communicated and maintained and there has to be a sense of safety just like there is in group therapy that if somebody habitually violates those rules, they won't be able to participate. With forums, group members can all see each other's responses and comment or learn from one another. So this is a great place not only to learn about depression management, for example, but also to learn about communication and basically playing nice in the sandbox. How do you say things? How do you interpret things? Because things online get interpreted misinterpreted even more often than things in real life. So, you know, helping people learn how to navigate and survive and communicate effectively within the digital world is another benefit of forums and chat rooms which we'll get to. More than some other modalities it's imperative to be clear about appropriate behavior in the forums. If you don't have something nice or constructive to say, don't say anything at all.  Obviously, we're not going to say exactly that. You're going to spell it out a little bit more. This is not the place for, you know, getting angry and lashing out at people. If you've got an issue with something they say how do you handle it? So there are going to need to be ground rules. You can use secure forms and worksheets in order to get information quickly such as intakes. 80% of the intake forms that I do the client needs to fill out anyway or the client could fill out, you know, screw up, yada, yada, yada. And they can do it in the comfort of their own home.  Oh my, what would happen? You can also do working in an agency. You can do your orientation online and they complete a little form at the end that confirms that they've completed orientation and, you know, informed consent to a certain extent can be done online if you are if you only do one particular type of therapy. You can also get the clients we can review and worksheet information, you know, any kind of information you want to get from the client, you could get it through email, but you could also create secure forms and have them fill those out and submit it to you. It looks more G-Wiz clinically, it really doesn't matter. It can be used as an adjunct therapy for people who like using workbooks. So some people really like those fill-in-the-blank workbooks. Okay, well let's give it to them. Let's let them have a workbook kind of format so they can fill it in. Yes, it takes time to develop on the front end. But once you get that worksheet developed, you've got it henceforth and forever more. If you decide not to use the fillable forms you can make the worksheet and save it as a Word document and then they can open it as a Word document and fill it out. Or you can make the worksheet and save it as a PDF. They print it out, they fill it out, they scan it in and send it back to you. Most people prefer the Word option because a lot of people don't even have scanners anymore. But there are options for doing that. Instant messaging is a mainstream communication method for the younger generation. It can be done using mobile devices. But again, you have to make sure whatever app you're using is secure, encrypted, HIPAA compliant, and you have a business associate agreement signed with that app developer. It can provide real-time text-based interaction or it can be kind of asynchronous.  But the first time they send you a message you may not get it for 15 or 20 minutes or something. So it's not one of those things that people use if they're in a crisis. But it is something you can use if you have a standing two o'clock appointment or whatever. There are a lot of ways you can use IAM if you have a secure, encrypted, HIPAA compliant method of doing so. Nonverbals that you can see in emails as well as instant messages. The color, font and size of text. If somebody bolds something and makes it red, you're going to get a different feeling from it than if they have it normal and black. Or if they make it italicized and bold that communicates that something's important. The emojis they use, any gifs that they may include. And again, the speed of response and error rate like I alluded to before with a lot of IAM programs you can see when somebody's typing and you may see them typing and then it goes away and they type and it goes away. You figure you're getting a dissertation and then they send you something and it's like four words and you're like what was it that you didn't send me? So just like with email people have the opportunity to edit what they're saying. This can take some of the spontaneity out of it if you want to think Freud. You don't get the Freudian slips because they have the opportunity to edit those out. But you can get some information. You need to set boundaries with text messaging though.  You don't want somebody text messaging you at 11 o'clock at night. You don't want somebody text messaging you for whatever reason. There has to be clear boundaries and rules about when do you use text messaging, what's appropriate with text messaging. If you're in a crisis what do you do instead of text messaging? As I said earlier it's important to know the lingo. You need to know all of the the majority of the acronyms that the people that you work with typically use. My mom for example uses far less acronyms than I do and I use far less than my daughter does. If I'm working with a teenager I'm going to look up on what I'm using. Video chat is the next best thing to face to face. It can connect patients and clinicians at a distance. Now it is vital to know most states have now jumped on the bandwagon and said you must be licensed in the state in which you practice in which you reside. That's a no brainer, we know that. And you need to be licensed in the state in which the client resides. If you are living in Tennessee like I do and working with somebody in Florida you need to be licensed in both states. If you're not you're technically in some states they've already put laws on the books that have made it a misdemeanor in other states it's just an ethical violation but you do need to be aware of that. You must complete video chat on a secure connection from a provider who's provided you a signed business associate agreement. Have I said that enough? It's important, that's why I keep saying it because I still on a daily basis run into clinicians who say I'm using this service that's secure. Well that's great, is it HIPAA compliant and do you have business associate agreement? What's that? Okay, no that doesn't work. You have to have a signed business associate agreement. Provided the internet connection is adequate, video chat provides really good nonverbals and that is a big if. There are still places, I still have dial up out at the farm, you know so the lag time and people who use cable or not cable but satellite internet services have a really bad lag time so the time between they say something and you get the information there's going to be a lot of lag and there may be lag between what you hear and what you see so the verbals and nonverbals may be out of out of sync. So it's really important if you're going to do video chat to recognize the limitations that you may be experiencing and it may not be appropriate to do video chat if the limitations are too great. Drawbacks to video chat you have to have a backup plan for internet issues.  How do you notify the person that your internet is going to be down? I mean if the internet is down you're not going to be able to send an IM, you're not going to be able to send an email likely unless you can get to somewhere where they've got public Wi-Fi or something and you can send an email from your mobile phone or whatever the case may be. You have to have a backup plan for software issues. Every once in a while they'll push out a software update that is going to make the software go kerplunk and it could be a software update for your video chat software or it could be something like a Microsoft update that doesn't play nice with that particular piece of software and you can't get it to start. Well, that's another crucial thing. How do you notify the client and how do you handle it? If you can't do a video chat, do you reschedule? Do you call on the phone? I generally have backup, good old fashioned telephone. If I can't use my cell phone, I have a landline. So I've got three levels that a backup I can work with. If there are firewall issues, maybe the person wants to call you and have a session and they're at work and there's a firewall and you can't get through the firewall. Well, obviously they're probably not going to go to their IT department and go, hey, I need the firewall unblocked so I can do counseling on my lunch hour. But you can also have firewall issues where you are at. So if you're working in an agency or even in private practice and you have a group that you're working with and they have firewalls set up to protect client data, you may need to have your IT person unblock a certain port so you can get video out and do video chat. And power issues, you know, occasionally the power goes out. Most places that we work we have redundant backups on the power but every once in a while something happens and it may not always be on your end. It could be on your client's end. If their internet goes down, if they start having software issues, if their computer blows up or the cat peas on their laptop or the power goes out, how are they going to handle it? So they can still connect with you because you don't want them to stand you up, you don't want to have a no show and you don't want to fail to provide services for them. So they need to know if I can't do it this way, what backup can I use in order to make sure that I can be present for my session. Second life has kind of disappeared but it's still worth mentioning because I hear it occasionally. It's appealing due to the ability for people to use avatars. It does not meet HIPAA security standards in any way, shape or form. It has had incidents of being hacked and losing user data and does not provide subtle nonverbals. You know, you have this little avatar moving around. It also can reinforce a fantasy persona in those with an unfavorable or unstable self-esteem. So there are a lot of reasons that life feels pretty icky in terms of using it for counseling. Now, if you are going to use it you know, I've heard of clients or clinicians who've tried to use it in order to help somebody deal with social anxiety and learn to improve their communication skills. Well, that's all well and good but again, it is not secure. So it's important you know, if you can get something like Second Life and install it on your own server so people can interact that way that would be a HIPAA compliant way of doing it. And phone. Most people are comfortable talking on the phone to a certain extent. I really hate it but if I've got to do it it's not intimidating at all. It requires a high amount of concentration on the therapist's part to stay focused and listen to what the person is saying. We tend to be as clinicians we tend to be very visual and look at those nonverbals and interpret things. So staying present with the client on the phone for an extended period can be challenging. You can use cell phones and landlines. Cell phones you know, this is one of those exceptions where you don't necessarily need to have a business associate agreement. Data is minimally available when it hits the cell towers at a very low risk of being hacked or breached. So somebody tapping into your cell phone conversation is no more likely than somebody tapping into your landline conversation. So one thing we didn't talk about was chat rooms. And chat rooms are a synchronous way of communicating. You can either have video chat or just text chat. But it is a way to have people get together in a group and discuss things that are going on. One of the ways I use it, I do a psycho educational online chat group group session. The first 15 minutes of psycho education, the last 45 minutes is chat. You know, it's time for people to apply what they've learned, ask questions, talk about what's going on. Chat rooms can also be less formal and it can be more like a support group. When people get together every night at 7 o'clock they know they can log in and talk to some of their peers. But it is synchronous, which means it happens at the same time. It needs to be moderated. So a therapist needs to be in there, especially if you're calling it any kind of counseling. But if it's something that you are sponsoring, promoting, you know, anything like that, just for ethical reasons to make sure nothing bad happens, you want to make sure that there's a licensed person in there just having an open chat room for your clients to randomly attend that's not monitored is not safe for so many different reasons. So chat rooms can be great. They can be a great source of support if you've got that kind of time. And obviously you can build clients for that if you want to build it as like a support group or after care where they pay a weekly or a monthly fee in order to be able to access this chat, moderated chat room each night at 7 p.m. eastern standard time or something. You know, you can do something like that. You just need to be creative. Think about what you would like to do in a face-to-face setting. It can be translated to digital. It's just, you have to be a little creative. When you're working with electronic counseling, you need to above all do no harm. So you want to evaluate clients' appropriateness before launching into it. Not every client is going to be appropriate. Clients who are in crisis, clients who have borderline tendencies are likely not going to be appropriate. Clients with low cognitive functioning are likely not going to be appropriate. So, you know, you want to pay attention to that. If they're not comfortable with computer technologies, if you're working with somebody who's older, who has difficulty checking their email, they're not going to be as comfortable as not being appropriate medium for them. You want to make sure to develop a safety plan at the outset, because whether they live 20 miles away or 200 miles away, but in the same state, of course, you aren't going to be able to attend to a crisis like you would if they're sitting in your office. So what is the safety plan? If they live 200 miles away, and you want to make sure that they have a face-to-face therapist there that they can go to or they're aware of the crisis counseling services that are available in their area. So they can actually connect with a tangible counselor in the event of a crisis. And be aware of appropriate referrals in each person's area. You know, you know the referral sources in your little neck of the woods. But what about, you know, I live close to Nashville. So if I were working with somebody over in Knoxville, I would need to know what resources are available for them over in Knoxville and develop relationships with those providers. So when I make referrals, we already have a standing relationship and it's a warm referral and it goes all smooth and hunky-dory. Pay attention to NEDICATE and master the lingo. So some more things on above all do no harm. Evaluate the appropriateness. Can you and the patient type? My old boss was brilliant, but he still thumb typed. Even on the computer, you know, he would still single finger hunt and peck type. That's not an efficient method of doing interactive synchronous text chat or something. And if the patient can't type or you can't type, it may be a frustrating endeavor and not cost effective even if you're doing communications. You can look into video or phone counseling if you still want to look for a electronic means of providing services. Figure out if the condition is appropriate for that level of treatment. Depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, anxiety, OCD, agoraphobia. All of these have been treated using electronic counseling and if you go to SAMHSA tip 60, we'll talk about a little bit later. You can learn about all the different ways that electronic counseling has been used and been used with these particular issues. So it's not necessarily as much about what the issue is, but the severity of the impairment the person is experiencing. If they are, you know, in jeopardy, if they are in crisis, online counseling, E therapy may not be appropriate. Develop a safety plan like we talked about. Identify and make appropriate referrals. Ensure confidentiality and privacy of the protected health information. Make sure that your computer has a fully encrypted hard drive. Not just the folder that their stuff goes into because there are all kinds of other folders that stuff gets stored in. The whole hard drive needs to be fully encrypted. You have to have a password, obviously if it's encrypted you're going to anyway, in order to log into your computer.  Ensure your communications are encrypted in transit point to point as well as on your computer. So once you hit send, whatever hubs it stops at on the way to your client, is it encrypted point to point or does it become unencrypted and can it get intercepted? If it can, then it is not HIPAA compliant. A little bit on netiquette, in general all caps means you're yelling and overuse of exclamation points also means you're yelling and being very aggressive. So don't use either one of those. You know, it's very aggressive and off-putting. Try to use italics, different colors, fonts and font weights to emphasize ideas. You can see the difference in these two sentences. This is awful exclamation point. I'm totally over it. This is awful and awful is in all red italicized underlined. I am totally in all caps over it. That communicates, you know, more feeling to it. But it doesn't cross the line into being completely aggressive. It's more of a sense of the person is exasperated. Paraphrase what you're hearing just like you do in counseling and check your understanding before you get offended. You know, somebody may say something and without the benefit of the nonverbals or knowing what they were thinking, knowing what they meant, you may misinterpret it.  You want to check them with them. You know, what do you mean by that? If you're communicating via email, return emails in a timely fashion no later than 24 hours. So if somebody emails you, you will respond within 24 hours. And add responses within the person's email to you. So, you know, just like when I was a professor, I used to go through and make comments on people's papers. You know, if clients are asking questions or if they're sending me something, I'm going to make comments sort of in the margins. I usually use a different color font so they can tell what I've added when I respond to them. That way, they're not having to look back and forth from my comments to what they said, you know, it makes it a lot easier. When you're in chat rooms, you know, the live interaction, no lurking, which means don't just sit there and not ever say anything. That's creepy. Say hello when you come into the chat room and say goodbye and you leave so people know that you're coming and going. If you are co-facilitating, you may leave before your co-facilitator. That's okay. When you are closing down after a chat session, you know, make sure you say goodbye to everybody. If you step away, say be right back as appropriate. You know, don't walk away for extended periods of time, but if you're supposed to be in there moderating and you have to walk away to go to the bathroom or answer the phone or whatever it is, that's cool.  That way they don't ask you a question and then you don't respond or somebody says something inappropriate and you don't respond and they start feeling unsafe in the chat room. If you use private messaging for side conversations, you know, make sure you have the clients have a way to block those. So if somebody starts harassing them, they can block them and report them to you.  So you're going to have to set rules about who can use private messaging, what it's to be used for, etc. You know, sometimes in a chat room you may need to basically pull the client aside, have a little private message session with them and go, you know what, okay, you want to clue me into what's going on and in order to modify the behavior without having to ban them or do something like that which would make them feel really bad, you know, it would be like akin to kicking them out of group, you know. You probably don't want to do that. You want to figure out what's going on with them. And as I said, ensure the rooms are moderated. It's great if you've got a busy chat room to have two moderators that way. If one has to go on a side conversation with somebody, the other person can continue to moderate the group. If you're IMing, never have multiple private chats going at the same time. Just don't do it too easily. You can say the wrong thing to the wrong person. You can miss things because you're trying to concentrate on two or three different conversations. It is clinically inappropriate and ethically inappropriate. Respond quickly. If somebody IMs you, you know, don't say, okay, I'll get to it and get to it in 20 minutes.  If you're in a conversation with them, you know, respond to them. It drives me crazy when I'm in the middle of a conversation with somebody and I ask them a question and then I don't hear from them for like an hour. I'm like, where did you go? We were like in the middle of talking. If you have to step away from a chat for some reason, tell the client that you're going to be right back or you need to leave for some reason.  That's not okay. And from the video standpoint, Neticut says and ethics say ensure you have a signed business associate agreement with the provider and conduct therapy in a private room. Don't conduct their video chat therapy with your clients in the middle of your living room when your kids are walking around behind you. Remove distractions.  Give them every respect and element of privacy you would if they were right there with you and make sure that your family members know you're doing counseling right now so don't just poke your head into my room. Lock the door if you can. Treatment structure with e-therapy. You can use email, instant messaging, phone or video only. That can be your sole means of communication with a client. Now remember when you're getting releases of information, informed consent you can use certain signature services that you know like I use with my realtor when we bought our house and stuff. It is possible to do that but for releases of information it is best to have an original signature an actual signature so the person needs to snail mail you the release of information. You can use email, IM, phone or video electronic means in addition to weekly or monthly face-to-face sessions. You're connecting on a regular basis but once a month for example you're meeting face-to-face or maybe it's somebody like dbt emphasizes ongoing coaching throughout the week maybe it's somebody who needs a higher level of care so you're communicating electronically throughout the week and you have one weekly face-to-face session. You can also communicate via email, IM or phone most of the time and then have a weekly or monthly video chat so there are a lot of different permutations you can do. Which one do you choose? Well you want to look at cost both for you and for the client because some of the cost is going to get passed on to the client if you have to have this involved provider or video setup or whatever and quite honestly you can do it pretty inexpensively through some of the providers that are out there just ask ahead of time before you sign any contracts for payment make sure that they will provide you a signed business associate agreement. Look for time effectiveness how often can the person get to your office if they live 30 miles away they may not want to haul their butt to your office every single week so they may prefer 3 out of every 4 weeks you do video chat and once a month you do face-to-face ask for patient preference some patients would prefer to use one modality over another and then again for acute issues like crisis, medication changes or impending triggers you may need to in addition to seeing them through your normal once a week sessions you may also want to communicate them with them via email once a day so you can check in with them see if there are any side effects or whatever is going on or you may choose to say no I don't feel comfortable doing electronic communication right now you really need to come in so I can lay eyes on you and see how things are going that's going to be an ethical decision that you make with each individual client there's no hard set in stone formula part of it is because it's how you use electronic communication is it an adjunct a supplement something to provide a little bit extra between sessions or is it the session itself techniques and tricks have people review their emails for chat logs or chat logs for patterns or improvements so if you've been chatting with them on a on an IM have them go back and review that and review like the past conversations for the past three or four sessions to see if there are any patterns in what they're talking about use information documented in email or chat logs as evidence when confronting a client now I'm not huge on confronting clients I generally do something you know you're telling me that you want to stop smoking yet you know you keep buying cigarettes or you haven't filled your prescription for your nicotine replacement patch for a month you know I'll use that evidence that I've gotten you know I can go back and look and I can go you know what is telling me that this person is not ready to make a change and I will just present it matter of factly you know what you're saying and what you're doing I'm confused you can have clients do a video tribute to someone who's passed away or to a relationship that's ended or whatever have someone do a blog or email in the words of someone that they've lost so what would mom have said about this or have them write a letter to to mom you can have them tweet commitments or statuses now this is obviously not HIPAA compliant they don't want to make their commitment to something public you know to elicit social support they may say you know I am going to start training for a marathon you know great so they can start getting social support obviously we don't want them tweeting private information because you know it's going out to the blogosphere have clients research things like three famous people who've encountered similar situations information about depression temperament cognitive behavioral therapy you know anything that applies to their treatment plan it's on the internet so have them research it and find information about it now encourage them to stay off of diagnostic websites because they can like really freak themselves out but you also may give them certain websites to go to so they're not randomly coming upon some website that's going to cause them to think that they've got brain cancer or something have them Google resources for coping with whatever the issue is with the loss of a parent with moving mom into a retirement home have them do research on how nutrition and or exercise can help them they can learn different hobbies I taught myself to crochet through YouTube they can find local clubs and social groups and meetups online so if you want to help them expand their social support network and the list just goes on you know have them empower them to find out what resources are available empower them to use the internet for the knowledge that's there you can use tip 60 using technology based therapeutic tools in behavioral health services is a free publication by SAMHSA you just go to SAMHSA the substance abuse and mental health services administration you can order the tip for free you can also read it online you can read it as a PDF they have dozens more tips, tricks, tools, ways that things have been used research that's been done on electronic therapy so if you're interested in using this I highly recommend reading it it's not overly technical so I won't say it's a fun read but it's an interesting read online counseling and e-therapy make it possible for patients to access services more easily with greater confidentiality because they're not seen walking into your office with experts who are not accessible in person so sometimes there's an expert at the University of Tennessee and that my client might benefit from having access to and they can access that person virtually whereas driving to Knoxville from here wouldn't be practical remember that in most states the therapist has to be licensed in the state in which he or she practices and the state in which the client resides e-therapy electronic counseling appeals to the younger generation and those who are very visual a lot of people who grew up with mobile devices in their hands are much more comfortable typing something or interacting virtually just like any other new modality e-therapy has its own techniques language and etiquette so it's important to know what those things are and it will be important for e-therapist to stay in tune to the evolving regulations regarding online services because it's becoming tighter there are more states that are requiring a special e-therapy certification in order to provide e-therapy services in addition to being licensed or certified as a mental health

Hello, I am Mamun from Wallfish Center, Bangladesh. I am looking at a fish sector, a fish feed sector of Wallfish and working as a feed and value chain specialist in Wallfish Center. So, we then would like to short assessment for this. So, we then we are in every sector of fish feed value chain. We prepare a methodology, so call it review study and we make samples, determine the sample size in the fish sector and then we go for question as development and the tools making tools for interviewing such as some expert opinion, individual interview, FZD and then we go for the data analysis. We have a little bit different experience than the previous study that engender. Suppose the people want to go to the individual questionaries or FZD especially they actually look like know the actual any problem or social problem in women empowerment or working empowerment which is friendly in their workplace. So, actually the women do not like to share these other wrong things just like sexual harassment or unfavorable condition or wrong approach of men. So, we have to take different approach through similar age of ladies how can we share with them making a friendly environment, taking interviews and finding out the data actually how it is happening. Even in commercial feed mill sector there are various feed mill companies. So, and then we have it is very difficult because they are actually a bridge man. So, we have to go different employees actually when you go to the MD or managing director level take the information. So, you should have to validate this information with the respective colleagues and other subordinate. A different angle we have to analyze that that actually makes different because another analyze the other study. It is not this type of effort it need not to put that here. Yes, we have got some interesting scenario and after the analysis of this result. So, we hope this result will help to make some intervention policy level and also in development sector and development and donor organizations to actually to motivate and make awareness program in fish feed valuation sector to increase the participation especially women because also consequently increase the productivity of the whole chains and also contribute to the economics of the country.


Once again, welcome you all to MSP lecture series on interpretative spectroscopy. In the last couple of lectures, I was discussing about multi-nuclear NMR. In the beginning, I gave more emphasis for phosphorus 31 NMR and also in between I brought other nucleus such as 14 N, 15 N, 19 N. So let me continue from where I had stopped. Let us look into another interesting example. Let us look into the problem shown here. Interpret the spectrum below for the compound, methyl group is there, platinum ethylene is there and two dimethyl phenyl phosphine ligands are there. So justify all splittings is this the cis or trans isomer and the data given is 31 P, 100 percent abundance I equals half and of course 195 platinum is NMR active with I equals half and 34 percent abundance is there and then 196 platinum is 66 percent and that is NMR inactive I equals 0. So with this information and here information is not given about the spectrum shown here which spectrum it is. So by looking into the spectrum and also by writing all possible isomers for this compound we should decide whether it is cis or trans if that is the case which NMR this spectrum represents. So let me first write this one. So platinum I can write P, PH, ME2 this ethylene. So other possibilities so these two possibilities are there and if you consider this trans isomer. So in this case both the phosphorus environments are identical because one can perform C2 axis of rotation in this direction along with the ethylene platinum CH3 axis whereas here I do not think we can perform C2 axis C2 rotation in this direction or in this direction and to make two phosphorus mites equivalent. So if you consider this one and now we have to see what nuclei NMR this figure given here the spectrum represents. Now if we look into phosphorus now phosphorus whether we take this one we have two mites then we should have PP coupling should be there. So then it should appear as a doublet of doublet. So that is not there the pattern does not look like it belongs to this kind of spectrum if it is phosphorus NMR and if it is platinum NMR again and this will couple with first a doublet and then doublet again it should be doublet of doublet and there is a possibility of coupling with long range or two bond platinum to hydrogen coupling. Then that would be some sort of satellites or if you take platinum then it should be doublet of doublet of triplets or quadrates that is not there. The other option left is now one HNMR if we take one HNMR we can identify three different type of environments apart from phenyl region. One is methyl groups are there here and then we have CH3 is there and then CH2 is there and if we exclude phenyl region then we will come across three different type of environments one is for ethylene protons one is for methyl and other one is for again methyl groups present on phosphorus. If we just see that one one HNMR if we take and this would couple this ethylene protons will couple equally with the two phosphorus to give a triplet and then each triplet will be having a satellite appears like a doublet triplet of doublets and that is the case in this one. For example, if it splits into triplet this I am writing for ethylene protons and then because of platinum coupling we will see something like this coming here and then here we have so this is one set and then if you look into CH3 proton again CH3 also same case is there but CH3 protons will be split by two identical phosphorus into a triplet and then they are further split by platinum to showing platinum satellites here. It is also identical to what I have drawn here and when we look into this six protons here and six protons here they are quite similar as a result these 12 protons are there so they split by again phosphorus into triplet and then again platinum is split them into doublet that means we can anticipate three sets of individual separate triplets in this case if it is one HNMR and then they will be having corresponding platinum satellites that is what the spectrum looks like now and you can see that expanded version here one is at minus 1.10 ppm and minus other one is minus 41.2 ppm and other one is 0.083 ppm so that means without any problem we can say that this is for CH3 and this is for methyl groups on phosphorus and this is for ethylene hydrogen atoms so this one and then we can say that this is one HNMR spectrum of this trans phosphorus containing ethylene containing methyl group containing platinum compound and then this whatever we see here these are all platinum to hydrogen couplings they come as satellites here. So this spectrum is for one HNMR and it shows for ethylene a triplet and satellites and again methyl group a triplet because of two equivalent phosphorus splitting that into triplet and again satellites and again methyl groups satellites. So no doubt this is one HNMR spectrum so this how one can analyze and interpret the data so let us move on to other examples here. So now let us come back to lithium, lithium we have two isotopes are there six lithium with I equals one and 7.4 percent abundance and then other one is 7 lithium with I equals 3 by 2 and natural abundance is 92.6 percent. One should remember the fact that those nuclei with I greater than half are quadrupolar and since 6 li has lower quadrupolar moment and yields sharp signals but has low sensitivity however in case of 7 lithium is highly sensitive but has a higher quadrupolar moment. So its signals are always broader and then when we look into chemical shift range whether you consider 7 lithium NMR or 6 lithium NMR the range is very similar for both the nuclei. You can see here lithium amide in ammonia it comes in this range and then external paratropic contact ions will be in this range and aqueous lithium plus would be around zero and solvent separated allions also comes in the same range and external diatropic aromatic contact ions would also come here and alkyl lithium would come around here and sand which should diatropic aromatic contact ions would come anywhere between minus 10 to 15 and also lithium plus ion in ammonia comes around minus 10. So now I have given here for LICL taken in D2O with natural abundance in case of 6 lithium it comes here as expected it will be a singlet. Similarly one can also plot 7 lithium NMR for LICL in D2O this also is sharp singlet you can see here and here I aqueous 3 by 2 but it does not matter here it is I aqueous 1 here this would come only when we are seeing lithium is coupled to other NMR active nuclei. So now you can see here spectra are given for 6 lithium and then these are not simple lithium compounds that deuterium induced isotropic fingerprints in 6 lithium NMR spectra of partially deuterated argonolithium aggregates that is the reason they look not simple phenylithium monomer is there here because of interaction of pi electrons of the carbon that is binds to lithium they will be having a dimeric structure something like this and of course when you take methyl lithium or any alkyl lithium, tercibutyl lithium or methyl lithium they will be having cuban type structure with this relationship would be like tetrahedral and in this one each methyl group the lithium is coupled with CH3 protons to give a 1 is to 3 is to 3 is to 1 triplet and here they are coupled with methylene protons here and of course it is not easy to interpret it looks like it is coupled to 2 hydrogen atoms as a result it is showing a triplet because this are all partially deuterated you never know how many CH2 are there whether CHD and all those things but from spectrum it appears that it is coupled with two equivalent hydrogen atoms as a result it shows 1 is to 2 is to 1 triplet whereas here it is very clear methyl hydrogen atoms are coupled with lithium to show quadrate 1 is to 3 is to 3 is to 1 and here one such lithium reaction is shown here this was carried out in our group here what happens the lithiation is very sensitive to temperature and also if other acidic protons are there you can expect the possibility of lithium exchange although we replace with halogen exchange process for example this bromo compound is taken and when it is treated with n-butyl lithium at minus 78 degrees celsius and then at the same temperature if you add chloride ifenyl phosphine of lithiation it gives here exocyclic ortho position here PPS2 is added and it gives a compound like this but on the other hand after adding n-butyl lithium at minus 78 degrees celsius it initially formed this one and in case if it is warm to room temperature for the addition of fluorine and phosphine what happens the moment it is warm above minus 78 that means when it starts warming up and attaining zero degree centigrade are coming to room temperature what happened lithium exchange takes place with this one and then lithium will move here and H will move here and then if we add chloride ifenyl phosphine so it goes to trizolic carbon that means basically this one has to be extremely careful while doing lithium reactions they are very very sensitive to temperature and if you have some acidic protons in the nearby where lithium is occupying on the carbon there can be exchange process and this is one such example where temperature assisted lithium hydrogen exchange takes place is it possible to monitor this one yes it can be monitored by looking into seven lithium NMR spectrum here so we carried out time dependent seven lithium NMR spectra and a series of spectra shown here immediately after the addition of N butyl lithium what happens it goes through halogen exchange to ortho carbon and with the time you can see here after six minutes what happens another signal is developing towards the right side that means lithium hydrogen exchange has started and by the time the time attains one hour fifteen minutes complete exchange takes place and it's no longer lithium is no longer present on phenyl ortho position it has moved to trizolic carbon so this indicates sometime this kind of variable temperature assists in understanding how this process is taking place why I expected a phosphination at ortho position whereas I got phosphination on trizolic carbon so all this vital information one can extract from doing variable temperature NMR studies not necessarily with lithium with any other NMR active nuclei provided gives a clue about such reactions okay so now let us look into another interesting aspect isomerization if you just look into this compound here it's a multi-dentate ligand and of course the most favored are pp chelation but on the other hand we have also have this trizolic nitrogen atoms with a pair of electrons on each one so they can also coordinate so here when this compound is treated with tetra carbonyl this bipyridine tungsten compound at room temperature initially pn coordination takes place and keeping this in solution for 72 hours it undergoes isomerization from pn coordination to pp coordination and the other hand if you take the same bisphosphine and add malbedenum here whether it's malbeden or tungsten both this isomeration happens but only in case of tungsten it takes 72 hours whereas in case of malbedenum within two minutes pn burning compound takes place on storing for two hours within two hours isomeration completes and it comes to pp coordinated compound so that means again here whether it is possible to monitor isomerization process that means ligand being pn coordinated initially to become pp coordinated one yes one can do it I will show you here and this is for the isomerization of pn coordination to pp coordination on malbedenum and if you take it initially you can see two signals are there two signals can be seen for both uncoordinated phosphorus atoms since this compound here both the phosphorus atoms are chemical and magnetically non-equivalent and they are further from each other as a result you are not seeing any pp coupling but nevertheless they show two chemical shifts that you can see here and once after adding malbedenum complex to this one coordination starts and immediately you can see only one peak is there other one is coming somewhere here coordinated that means basically what happens one of the phosphorus is left uncoordinated and whereas one of the phosphorus is coordinating so you can see that means here we have a complex where we have pn coordination since pn coordination is there other phosphorus centrizole carbon is left uncoordinated and that is here only uncoordinated region little bit shift is there compared to this one and then with the time you can see now another signal is developing here these two are for coordinated pp coordinated compound here with the time it is increasing and you can see but two hours within 120 minutes this isomerization completes and then this is disappearing here this one is uncoordinated one present on this one this is disappearing and after two hours you can see completely pp coordination and we do not have any trace of pn coordinated compound so that means we know now isomerization from pn to pp takes roughly two hours and whereas in case of tungsten it is taking little more time so you can see here to begin with again very similar to malbdom complex it's uncoordinated both are here within one hour what happens one of the trizole carbon remains uncoordinated whereas the other one is getting coordinated as a result what happens the pp coordinated compound pn coordinated compound is there and then with the time what happens this is decreasing and then it nearly takes 72 hours for the completion of isomerization from pn to pp here and another advantage with tungsten compound is we can see here these tungsten satellites tungsten is also NMR active and we have very trace quantity here and we are seeing the tungsten satellites and tungsten to phosphorus 1j coupling is about it can vary between 200 to 350 Hertz so this also we can see very nicely the satellites are coming here so that means in case of malbdom it took two hours whereas in case of tungsten it took 72 hours and that can be clearly seen from this time dependent 31 pnmr spectra for the isomerization of complex of tungsten so let me stop here and continue in my next lecture more interesting examples with emphasis on boron mercury and even including 19 fnmr spectra from all these mixed okay nmr nuclei compounds until then have an excellent time and enjoy interpretive spectroscopy course thank you


إمام صلاة الله عليه و الله أضع حزن المشاكلين أدريه و أدريه. و إذا أردت صحيفة سجاديا ، أخيانا وأدينا ، ستجد كثيرا دعاءي Where the Imam is praying for Ummah. محاول إمام يحاولين أن يقعوننا لحسننا ، لحسننا ، لحسننا ، لحسننا ، لحسننا ، لحسننا ، لحسننا. فهي always in صحيفة سجادية to remember the Mu'mineen. He lived this life 33 years after Karbala, but in difficulty, in lots of pain. When he was fed the poison, by Al Waleed ibn Abdul Maliki ibn Marwan, and he felt the pain of the poison, he called upon his son, and he said son, Waleed has done it. I've been fed the poison and I can see my days are numbered now. So he starts giving some admonishments to his son, he tells him son I will tell you what my father told me as the final word of admonishment. The final words of my father to me before he left this dunya. He came to me and listened to this hadith of brothers and sisters. Now think about it, Imam al-Husayn is going to get martyred and these are the last words he's teaching his son Imam al-Sajjad. The last one, what did he tell him? He said son, be aware, never oppress or do injustice against someone who has none other than Allah against you. Don't you think that you're almighty and powerful? There are people in this dunya who are very weak. They cannot really answer, they cannot really respond to you. You can do whatever you want to them. This could be an employee at work. It could be a child, it could be a spouse, it could be anyone in the society. Someone who has no value, some homeless person on the street. These people who feel weak, vulnerable, don't you ever do injustice against them? They have none other than Allah against you. Imam al-Husayn's last words to Imam al-Sajjad were these words. Be aware, be careful, not to do injustice against someone who has none other than Allah against you. And I tell you the same words my son. These are the words I leave you with as well before leaving this dunya. And then he tells him, among what he told him, son, the camel that I have, this camel I did Hajj with it 20 times. 20 years I've done Hajj with this camel. Because of its services to me, when it dies, I request you to bury this camel, bury it. Look at the respect, the care. People talk today of animal rights. Imam al-Baqir, says then the pain came too much upon my father on his final day. He said the Shahada and he said بسم الله و بالله و على ملة جدي رسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله and he said صلى الله عليه و آله Today I'm going to meet my father, maybe the Imam is saying after all these 33 years that I've lived in pain in difficulty. Finally I'm going to be at relief. I'm going to be relieved from this difficulty of dunya. And the Imam, leaves this dunya. Imam al-Baqir, then takes care of his father Imam al-Sajjad. And he says after burying my father Imam al-Sajjad that camel that he told me about would come out of the house and go and sit on the grave of Imam al-Sajjad صلى الله عليه و آله. I would ask it to come back it wouldn't. The whole day until in the evening then the camel comes back with me to the house. The second day it went and did the exact same thing. The third day the camel sat on the grave of the Imam. Imam al-Baqir says when I came to it by the end of the day I saw that it had left this dunya. So I followed the wasia of my father and I buried that camel as my father had wished a camel understands the greatness of Imam al-Sajjad عليه السلام. But today when you go to his grave you find it in darkness and people are not allowed to go there. Then after finishing the ghusl of his father Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام was seen crying out loudly. They asked him يبنى رسول الله what is the matter? He saw when I was watching the body of my father Imam al-Sajjad عليه السلام I saw the marks of the chains of Karbala on his neck on his hands and on his feet I remembered the difficulty my father experienced in Karbala after all these decades all these years and the marks of the pain of the camel and the pain of the camel and the marks of the pain of the chains are still on his body. I started thinking how much pain did he experience when he had those chains on him. Al-Minhal ibn Sa'd says I saw Imam al-Sajjad عليه السلام in Sham I arrived in Sham and I saw the people of Sham celebrating I told them is there a Eid in Sham that we are unaware of there were a group of outlaws who have come against the Khalifa Yazid and Allah made him victorious and he captured them and he killed some of them and today the prisoners are arriving so I said I kept walking everyone is celebrating the drums are beating people are dancing but then I came across a group of people who were hiding in a corner crying I asked them everyone is cheering but you are crying what is the matter they said nothing is wrong everything is okay we are just having our own problems he said no tell me the truth I am Sahel ibn Sa'd I am a man who met Rasul Allah and heard his hadith they said if that is the case it is a strange thing that the skies haven't yet collapsed on the earth haven't you heard the news what is the news Hussein is killed in Karbala his family is proud as prisoners and that's why these people are rejoicing and celebrating he said from which gate are they coming they said from a gate known as the gate of the clocks he said I went there from a distance I saw the family coming and I saw Imam al-Sajjad wearing a red shirt I was surprised I have never seen Rasul Allah why is the Imam wearing red I approached the Imam as I came closer to him I realized he was not wearing a red shirt but rather the shirt had been painted red from the blood of the Imam peace be upon him gushing from his neck from his arms from his feet I told him peace be upon him Rasul Allah he looked at me and said who are you everyone around here is throwing stones at us they are making us hear bad words but you recognize us who are you he said I am I am a man who met your grandfather Rasul Allah I hear this hadith he said يا سل do you have any cloth on you he said yes I do what do you want with it he said I want to keep it under this chain because this is really bothering my neck he says I gave him a piece of cloth what else do you want do you have money on you he said yes I do he said then give it to the people who are carrying the heads of my father I gave busy looking at them instead of looking at the faces of my and my aunts and sisters he says I went and gave them the money but then I saw the family entering into and Imam peace be upon him as the people of rejoicing and celebrating they are beating the family of Rasul Allah peace be upon him with stones and pebbles these memories were kept in the mind of Imam for decades every day he would remember them يبو حمزة ثمالي says I came to visit the Imam peace be upon him I saw him crying out loudly in pain I told him Allah has honored you with martyrdom why do you cry so much he said may Allah bless you يبو حمزة ثمالي but every time I look at my sisters I look at mother women of Bani Hashem I remember them running on the day of Ashura from one tent to another tent as the tents are gone up in flames and the daughters are crying ايوة حسينة ايوة بتايا and the women are calling ايوة عباسا إنا لله وإنا إليه راجعون وسيعلم الذين ظلموا أيام قلب ينقلبون والعاقبة للمتقين

I'm always trying new and different ideas If you're into thinking outside the box, this is the channel to subscribe If you're looking for more pin videos, there'll be links in the description box below so this is the Schaefer pop black roller bulk pin and I'm going to open this up and take a look at it If you didn't know Schaefer is actually owned by Cross which is another famous pin maker And I do have some cross pins, but I haven't reviewed anything yet. Probably I'll do that in the future So the packaging is actually based on an artwork, which you can see right here and On the back It's just like you know gives you a description of the pin that when the company was established which was in 1913 and The art is the art on the front by this is the name of the artist Fernando Vulcan Togni, I believe that's how we pronounce it in East London, UK So basically, this is a very simple packaging. It's not a fancy box or anything So I'm just going to you know open this up and we're going to Take a look at the pen So the thing I don't like some of these like you know packaging they're made of plastic and you have to cut them I'm hoping that I don't have to cut this. So let's see if we can open it without cutting it Okay, so I think I don't have to cut this You know, I broke a piece of plastic Okay, so I should be able to take it out so here's the empty plastic and This is the you know piece got broken. So just set it aside This is the Pen cover looks like there's something actually inside here. I'm not sure what is this So this is just a user guide and it has one year warranty and you know, it just gives you some basic instructions so I Don't need to go over them. So I'll just you know put this aside and we can just even put this here as well so here this is the pen and The first thing I'm noticing right away that you know, it doesn't feel any weight.  So I'm just going to try writing it how it writes So let's open this up So I see that there's another dot which is right here So I'm not sure if you just write like this or you have to take it off but let me just try something first and Then we'll be able to tell But I have a feeling I have to remove it. I'm not sure yet, but let's see Okay, so that was just like you know cover to protect the ink once I like, you know, I pressed it it just came off and You can see that dot right here It's like really tiny, but I think you can see it here like right there So we'll just leave it and then here's the roller ball pen. So first thing, let's try to you know, write something I'm gonna see how it feels Okay, I'm really surprised that you know, it writes really smoothly and It's right. It wrote the first time I pressed it So definitely, you know in terms of writing or in terms of the quality of the writing I Cannot complain the pen is or the ink is black and Let's take a look at some other stuff. So here this like, you know a little bit rubberized grip so when you hold it it feels really comfortable and The designing of this pen, although it doesn't look like, you know, very good looking pen But it has really good feeling when you're holding it and I can tell so when I first opened the pen It feels like a kind of like, you know, fat barrel or a little bit like, you know, uh, not slim pen So you may not like it just by looking at it But when you're holding it then definitely it feels really comfortable and it feels very, you know, nice to write So that's a very good thing And here Let's see what else we have here. So I don't think you can open anything, but let me let me just see if I can open this Okay, actually it's coming off and here's the refill so This refill you can exchange or I can, you know change once it's done and the refill is made in china And it's 0.7 mm And it has a number 1216 And this is the shipper jail rolling ball refill So definitely you can change the refill once you are done And it looks like it's gonna last a long time because as you can see that, you know, this is there's a lot of ink in here and Once I put it in it's a very easy to, you know close and change and then Here this is our pen And you know, it looks okay. I think they have different other varieties of the same thing different colors But I chose black because black and chrome finish looks very nice And I'm happy with the product. So this is not a paid or affiliated review All my reviews are non-affiliated unabashed and honest. There are no affiliated links.  This is Also not too expensive. You can find it somewhere between like, you know, 15 to 20 or 25 dollars It depends sometimes it might come down. Sometimes it might be like 25 dollars or so canadian So definitely, you know, in terms of price, this is a very well-priced product And this is really light. So you can carry it with you anywhere you go And the writing quality seems to be really pleasant and very nice. There's no complain about that So that was the review of the Schaefer pop black rollerball pen with chrome trim And for other pen reviews, there will be links in the description box below Thank you for watching this video.
