Three two one. Hi you guys. I'm Lindsay and welcome back to my channel inside the Hymn today Don't be mad, but we are combining makes and plans for the month of Well makes of November and plans for December simply because I Didn't really make that much not enough to warrant its own video It would be like a 30-second video, which I know you guys don't want So we're combining makes and plans that I kind of feel like those two things go hand in hand as you know from my Previous makes videos. I was sewing up a storm like that one month I had like 10 or 12 different things that I had made so it only made sense that like the brakes got pushed and Everything kind of came to a bit of a screeching halt that has a lot to do with the holidays a lot to do with the weather here A lot to do with my schedule So I just really wasn't sewing as much as I had been which is fine I don't need to make 12 things a month every single month. That would just be insane But like just was not really feeling super motivated to do my Works in progress then because those are all like spring time clothes And it was just getting colder here, and I know I wouldn't be able to wear them So the motivation was lost there And then I started going down a path and I couldn't get off the path I was just very very focused so the only thing that I made is for muslins of Ginger jeans and I knew I've talked to you guys about pants me and pants We don't get along ready to wear pants hate me and thus far Sewing pants wasn't that much better But I made a commitment after I won the ginger jeans party contest on Instagram or giveaway wasn't really a contest I didn't have to do anything special just Entered and followed and liked and commented or something that I was gonna give it an honest go and so I did and I Ended up needing to make four different muslins to get to a place Well, I made three muslins out of muslin and then made a fourth pair out of the denim that I'm going to use Just to see how the stretch denim Acted in the pattern because you know the regular muslin fabric is not stretchy at all I just wanted to make a muslin there out of the denim to Kind of like just basing it all into place just to see if it was gonna work if the Alterations I had made work on the regular muslin. We're gonna work in the denim to wow Why was that so complicated to explain? So that's really all I have to show for it I'm not going to talk too much about the ginger jeans and the alterations I made Because I just did so much. I mean obviously four muslins is a lot of altering And I just want to give it Its own video I learned a ton in the process like a lot I actually feel like I could tackle any pants pattern now Which is crazy, but I just know which alterations I need for my body And I know how to identify them and I can explain all of that much better in a full Video dedicated just to the ginger jeans as a side note I did also order the Ames pattern from cashmirette cashmirette is a plus-size Curvy girl pattern company So I'm interested to to compare the two so I will do a video just about ginger jeans and the alterations I had to make for me For that and then I'll do a separate video comparing ginger jeans and Ames jeans and Kind of maybe give some input as to which one I thought I think might be better depending on which fitting issues you typically have if you're like me for me it was front thigh was huge and Full seat is huge And then a bunch of other little adjustments. So once I get the Ames jeans, I hope that's actually what they're called Yeah, Ames jeans. Okay good So once I get the Ames jeans I'll be able to look at the pattern pieces and tell if they are gonna be more Accommodating in the seat or more accommodating in the front thigh and just say who knows maybe they're very similar and You know if you have specific issues like me, which which is the front thigh and the full seat It doesn't really matter which of the two patterns you get, but maybe they will be different I know that the Ames jeans does cater toward Choosing either an apple shape or pear shape, which is kind of cool But I don't know what that's going to mean in terms of the actual pattern design So all that to say stay tuned. I have a lot more information coming about jeans for curvier pear shaped People like me. I am in no way a fitting expert. So I'm not going to be able to help Really that much, but I am going to be able to tell you what I did Why I did it and how I did it and hopefully that will be helpful to some of you out there. So That's my spiel about makes And then for plans, okay, so for December I have my Kali fabrics blog post that I'll be putting up on the Well, I'll be sending to them on the 15th. I'm not sure when they'll post it but for that is a New Year's Eve outfit and I'm super excited about it. I've already sewn part of it and It's turning out exactly like I wanted Some of you are gonna be a little freaked out and think okay. It's official. She's lost it But I haven't there's a method to my madness. I have a plan and I think it's I think it's gonna be Really really cute and really awesome. So I'll show you the fabric It is this Rainbow sequence. Yes, you are seeing that, right? Rainbow and then these little itty bitty bitty bitty sequins Um So I love this fabric. It's exactly what I was looking for. I'm so happy. I found it at Kali and Just can't wait to show you what I'm gonna be making. I have a whole outfit Maybe with only this fabric maybe with other fabrics I don't want to tell you too much information about it I did post a little bit about it on my Instagram stories if you follow me there You probably have a clue But if not what are you waiting for you should be following me on Instagram so that you can get all the insider info as I'm working on projects So that is a plan that is going to be up on the Kali blog soon Another plan that I have for December is some holiday decor So I got the cricket maker machine the one that cuts fabric and you guys I have not been able to stop It is like a serious problem that I have I'm thinking up all the different things and ideas that I could cut with the maker machine With the cricket maker and it's just been so great So I made tons of holiday decor some with fabric some with paper some with iron on vinyl And it's super super super cute. So I can't wait to show you those But yeah, I've got a like some pillows and some wall art and some framed art like honestly I've been going crazy So once I get all those things finished and sewn up and like ready to go I'll do a video to show you kind of what I've been working on With that. So that's been fun because like decor is not normally something that I Ever think of sewing, you know, mostly a garment sewer It's been really nice because you come home and you see your makes like out In the living room or wherever you put them and that's kind of cool Like you don't have to just go in your closet and see your makes in the closet You can see them all kinds of different places. So that's been really fun And it's been really kind of different to kind of be like, oh See the thing on the wall. I made that or look at those pillows. I made those So that's that's fun to have around. So yeah, some holiday decor And I think I'll be trying to do some more of that as the year goes on I don't have any specific ideas right now, but But yeah, I think I want to keep keep up with it and make some more decor items. So We'll see about that. Um, and then the third thing is using This I found this gym this gym of a dress at Goodwill. It is a Kind of large Can y'all even see all that? I don't know really big Purpley kind of like the new Pantone color of the year actually I didn't even really realize that Um and I want to take it and cut it up and make it into McCalls six eight three three the dress that I posted Like not too long ago the it's the ballet dress and also my holiday dress the golden white one that I filmed in front of the tree I want to make a version of that out of this and I think it will be so elegant and so cute Out of the velvet this has a little bit of stretch to it, but not too much. So I feel like it will still be So like be able to support that like low bust line and those little like cups that it made But I mean you guys loved that pattern loved that dress that I made so much and I did too and I knew that I really liked it But I don't know having you guys like support it so much kind of validated it for me because sometimes I'll make something and I'll love it and Do you ever like make something that you really like and then you wear it for the first time? And you don't get any compliments and then you kind of go. Well, I don't know. Is it not that cute? I do that sometimes But then you make something and you wear it for the first time and like you get tons of compliments all day And you're like, yeah, like this is a really cute dress. So that's how I feel about m 6 8 3 3 So I want to make another version And I just think velvet is having such a moment right now And there's still plenty of time to wear it even though the holidays are past like this is a color of velvet that I think Transcends like a holiday or even really a season. I feel like you could wear this in fall in winter Even spring depending on what you wear it with and how you style it. I don't know I think it could be really cute. So I am excited to transform this really large long Dress it has lots of fabric because it's so long. I mean look at that. That's like half a yard or something right there So I think I'll have plenty of it to make that dress because that dress has a lot of little pattern pieces too Which is also really good. Anyway, so a little refashion on the way out of this is also in the plans for December so That is everything that I have made in November want want but Once I get those jeans that jeans pattern figured out It's all for the races. I'm making pants like it's going out of style Because I've literally never had pants that I liked ever. So I'm super excited And then lots of fun plans for December. I kind of love this time of year because you make things you wouldn't normally I mean Whenever else would I pick up rainbow sequin fabric if not in December? I have no idea. So So, yeah, so yeah, I'm really excited. It's gonna be a fun month of sewing and can't wait for you guys to see everything As always, thank you so much for watching if you're here for the first time and you've not subscribed yet Don't know what you're waiting for.

Hi there, good afternoon. My name is Tobilo Bafaba and sometime last year my company enrolled myself and my colleagues for the Advanced Financial Modelling Examination and to prepare us, the Brown Consulting was brought on board. Really, for someone like me who has no background in finance or accounting or any of the like, I've been an engineer all my life. It was difficult initially. I mean, I was lost. Everything seemed very strange and new, but I did a really good job bringing us on board teaching and going through what's really important, not just for the exam, but really for the practice of building financial models, really, and it was really rewarding because we did the exam in October 2022 and at the time we did the exam, I remember thinking to myself, I think the Brown Consulting over prepared us for this exam really because it looked easy and while we were being prepared, it wasn't at all, but they were really supportive. They were really helpful. They provided resources, asked questions, answers. They went through tutorial sessions with the team. They were really committed and it seemed like it was more than profit for them. They really wanted us to get this thing and so I recommend them. Bye.


Till oh, what's poppin? We are on twitch. We are not live I've had flu like symptoms. I'm still getting over them. I feel like I'm blurry, but I don't know. I've been sick I ain't had the flu in years, but Anyway, leave a like comment subscribe turn on the post notification bells man. Let's continue to grow the family from Chicago to the UK Right behind me. That's the twitch man. You can go play replay any lives and things of that nature Don't forget. We do got patreon Monday through Friday. I'ma get back up with y'all. I got y'all Don't forget. We do got merch. I've had this shirt on since Thursday stuff Let's get into it scam interceptors season one episode four Make no mistake these scammers will stop at nothing to get their hands They think little of lying and cheating their way into bank accounts and once they're in it's only a matter of minutes before the whole thing is emptied He's so dramatic In our scam hub at BBC HQ in Glasgow The team and I are tuning into a scam taking hold of another unsuspecting victim We can see some action on our screen here. It's the scammers. They've got into someone's phone We've got no details at all on this at the moment How many credit cards they got on there? I'll just keep watching the details We don't know who this victim is yet, but we do know they're speaking to an active call centre in India And despite not having any I don't want to be like scammer We can see on us. I don't want to be offensive But if I get any call from an unrecognised number from any of those accents i'm hanging up in in like Undiscriminatorily i'm hanging up greens that it looks like the victim's falling for what we have dubbed The online shopping scam It all starts with a phone call out of the blue when it works on your car You're out but for that can guide you We we know how that scam works The victim has already been told to download software onto their phone Giving the scammer remote access to everything their target can see and do Now we need to take down some details as well to try and find out who this person is So that we can try and help them before the scammers get their money somebody made a good point like what they're doing Like how this this this almost has to be scripted like how are they able to do this listening on people's phone calls and Hack people's stuff like how Isn't that illegal? The victim is now checking her amazon account So we and the scammers can see her name and home address in fife scotland At her request we won't reveal her real name and instead call her mary It appears from her address that we've managed to obtain. She's less than an hour away from where we are at the moment Oh, yeah, we can even jump in a car and try and stop her from engaging any further with these scammers Then a mobile number flashes up But oh seven five eight two is that right? Oh seven eight five two. We really need that But it's the mobile mary is talking to the scammers on We need other ways we could get hold of her and stop the scam Whenever having a call after some digging team member roland finds some leads on who mary might be I've googled her and found some details on her 1998 born. So she's 23 I think I've got her twitter And various other bits of information on if we need them and things are moving on fast She's now clicking through her phone revealing very personal information Leaving her wide open to losing a lot of money Yeah, oh look. She's too young to be far off and stuff like this. Look at all these details up on the screen like that Look, they've gone into all her passwords Not only can the scammers see these passwords, but they are saving them to possibly use at a later date This is really bad now. They've got all the passwords and personal details Exactly what the scammers want to get their hands on and they've got all of this on the scammers computer now Oh, that's bad bad details there as well And now that the scammers have gained all of her and her father's passwords They have also i'm not gonna lie this young lady this 23 year old is not the brightest in the bunch Who keeps all of their passwords and their notes and their phone? Is anybody really do that in real life? I'd rather you keep a hard copy if you can't remember it like just write it down and put it somewhere in the house Like your phone gets stolen hacked anything could happen Talked Mary into checking her online banking She's going into her rbs now, but they're just recording everything Now they can see the amount in there The scammers quickly scope out how worthwhile Mary's bank balance is Before they progress to the next stage of their scam So at the moment Nick There's an amount on the screen that's in this particular account and do you find that the scammers Sometimes Terminate if there's not enough for them to to be interested. Is that something you've found before they do? Regularly just give up on people. I think there's a chance that they will give up on this Doesn't look like giving up We might leave her alone with other banks so they can find more money The scammers aren't letting Mary out of their sights They're likely to be telling her that if her online shopping account has been compromised So too will her bank account That means she'll need to move her money to a new supposedly safe bank account Which is what they seem to be trying to get her to open right now So at the moment this is looking worrying now It looks like she's about to try and download the financial transaction app And once she's done that we know we're only minutes away from transferring her money out This is not looking good at all. I think we should definitely try and get hold of her Um, we've only got the mobile number that she's on Nick has an idea of how to try and get Mary's attention while she's on her mobile to the scammers I think we should try a text first But it's risky Now a text is good We're gonna warn them, but it will come up on the screen that the scammers are looking at as well And then of course the scammers then know that we are on to them Send in the text scam morning hang-up call Obviously the danger is it's gonna alert the scammers and they might terminate the call, but let's see what happens Like like no cap if I seen that alert come across my screen. I'm hanging up There's nothing that whoever's on the phone could tell me to make me not hang up at that point You know what I'm saying? As soon as Nick has sent the text the scammers screen immediately shuts down There we go. Oh It looks like they've lost their connection to her quite why that is we don't know It seemed too quick to have been in response to our text, but it could have been With Mary now off the phone with the scammers We have a brief opportunity to get hold of her and warn her that she is in grave danger Grave danger is wild Mary isn't answering my call Try from the mobile Yeah, we could try that I'm doing everything in my power to help Mary before the scammers get her back on the line And it's too late So she may pick up from the mobile Hi, is that My name's Rav Wilding. I'm calling from the BBC. I want to warn you that the person you've just been speaking to Is a scammer. You've just been speaking to scammers. My name's Rav Wilding. I'm calling. Yes Yeah, don't worry. It's okay. We're here to help you.  Um, I think we need to get a message to her Um We could send her a text message. Yeah, let's be real. She's 23 just send her a text message saying all the information you need to see And then she can read it and be like, oh, okay We don't want to bombard her because she just doesn't know who to believe at the moment Persuading Mary that she needs to trust us and not the scammers is going to be tricky We have to handle this situation very carefully Shall we follow up and tell her to call us on the land like hang on? Hello Hello Unexpectedly Mary has called me back. Hi, uh, it's Rav. It's Rav Wilding here from the BBC Don't worry. What's happened to you has happened to thousands of people and that's why we we are making a tv series about scam call centers based overseas We believe that's who you are talking to first things first, um You need to change all your passwords that you've got because we believe the scammers have a copy of all your passwords Well, because I've just given them all Yeah, you need to change everything all your passwords Okay, um It's okay. We just want to make sure that you're safe Now do you think you may have transferred anything? No to these people. No good Did they ask you to download any software onto your phone or laptop? Okay Are you comfortable with deleting that software? Do you know how to do that? Oh, this is a nightmare No, no, no, it's okay. We can we can stop this so I was trying to wonder like I don't hear no Scottish accent But now I hear if you can delete that that's really important. Yeah, I've done that done that Now what's really important? I want you to do more than anything is change those passwords now Um, I think that's the most important thing you do. That takes time I'll need to get my dad to do and says as well because they've got his um details too Yes, can you do that get him to change his? Yeah, also, um, can you make sure you phone your bank? Yeah, just to explain to them what's happened. Okay. I will do. That's great.  She was just so upset Um about what happened. It was just such a whirlwind and It really hit her when when she realized just what the scammers had done and the fact that they'd got all her information It was horrible but At least we managed to to stop her being scammed and stop any money going to the scammers Hopefully that means she's on safe ground for now Later the autopsy of a scam I catch up with mary to There we go Sadly call centers aren't the only place scammers operate thieves and fraudsters are stealing This is the best part of the show where they get live and intricate Being and scheming in almost every aspect of life But that doesn't mean we have to just put No cap. I would have kept moving if I was the taxi. I would have kept driving. It's up with it Across this series. We're meeting the regular people who are fighting back against these crooks to make their communities a better place to be And one scourge blighting our towns and communities is the issue at the heart of this next film Whether you're a city dweller or country folk fly tipping is never far away. In fact, it frequently tops What annoys you most but one man decided complaining about it wasn't enough Instead using the latest in technology and an impressive level of courage He's taken his fight against the fly tippers to a whole new level. What is fly tippers?  And some of those taxpayers Have had enough It's getting worse every year fly tipping in the mind of a fly tipper.  They're after your cash And that's it people who do this really are The lowest of the low the bits that really get to me Is when I see animals that are caught up In the material what's the scam in it? What's the scam and then they've died there? It's disgusting I'm on my way to meet one man who's decided to use his own time and money to trace the culprits Martin Montague a local businessman by day by night He and his partner in grime glenn have turned their energies to bringing fly tippers to justice Fly tip busting hq is martin's Hampshire home where he's not gonna lie I'm fully intrigued about this fly tip busting hq is His passion for tackling rubbish dumping first began. He got a drone so important I really really really hate fly tipping the road next to my house used to get blocked a week or two a year One year right in the middle of summer. They dumped a load of manure building waste We were infested with flies and other insects and it was terrible And dangerous I just had enough at the moment on private property. You nothing happens. You don't get fined You don't get prosecuted unless the landowner takes that against you So over half of fly tipping is on private property And then a lot of the other half isn't addressed at all. So it's a huge problem We were recently at a rural crime show and someone came up to me and said I had 5000 tires dumped on my land I'm only a tenant farmer You know five pounds of tire you run the numbers on that I can't afford to pay to get it cleaned up And then I've got the environment agency or DEFRA knocking at my door to find me because I've got all this illegal waste on my land It's literally taken me to breaking points. It's completely An outrageous crime to me. It ranks right at the top. I talk to people who are affected by Fly tipping by people dumping their waste on someone else's land It's heartbreak and seeing these people when they haven't got the money to clean it out So what have you done about it? I set up an app and it allows anyone in the country to report fly tipping It's actually quite simple to report add photos videos Your location we need to do it anonymously 13 seconds ago in Essex They've just discovered some some horrible waste at the side of the road But it's real time and it just shows how real this is doesn't it when they're just flashing up like this constant Martin's app is free for anyone to download And if you use it to report a fly tipping incident It automatically forwards the information onto the local council or private landowner So far over 50,000 And that's not the only bit of fly tipping kit that's caught my eye Martin and Glenn spend many of their evenings staking out known dump Are Martin and Glenn community members? I know that's irrelevant to what's going on, but it's it just rang in my mind like I'm curious to know Being hot spots to catch the criminals in the act and to do that they use the latest in surveillance equipment They wow it looks amazing. What have we got here? I've got night vision set there We've got various ghillie suits that we wear. I've got three drones and one of them is actually thermal We've got a long range listening devices Cameras that we fit on trees. It's like the best boys toy selection I've ever seen This kit is impressive even for an ex-soldier like me and with some up-to-date intel from martin's app They've got all they need for a full army grade stay. Can I just go buy night vision goggles? Like oh awesome The key with what we've got here. It's not to you know get involved or getting people's faces It's literally to gather evidence and then you know, hopefully get them fined and prosecuted and I'm going to join you today So what's on the agenda? We're going to lay in ditches and bushes and we are going to Wait covertly to see if we can actually record someone in the act stake out. Well, that sounds brilliant This pair of waste warriors are committed They've been on over a hundred stakeouts and I'm joining them tonight as they say They're going to strike in this woodland every week to gather evidence. We must stay hidden I hope with my army training. I won't give the game away Like trousers first night. Yeah Yeah, I can't bend to the coast We're wearing ghillie suits which are what soldiers and hunters use to blend into their surroundings And it's a bracing winter evening I'm not gonna lie. This looks fun. I understand why he went all out because this looks fun If saving the if saving the world is this fun sign me up What can I do? This looks great Definitely not they've got a load to get rid of they'll just carry on regardless So this is the hood And then this goes on To complete the look Full camo bush like I'm ready to go. What about your regular hood? The fox fur is still showing we need to keep quiet and move into position So we don't disturb or miss any canny criminals As the woods thicken around us I can see the thing about doing this like in america is we got like Wilderness out there in the uk y'all don't got bears and mountain lions and things of that nature So, okay, this is cool to do But like we like in america you might stumble across something Exactly why I'm not cool in wildlife So is this it? This is it Wow They back into this part here They tip a whole load right where we stood and then they drive off again Because as you can see it's a fair distance from anywhere The one thing they won't want is us three waiting exactly. So let's let's get into position. Let's do that This is no way Really, really well. I'm very camouflaged. You can lie in places for long periods of time have people walk past you And they just don't even realize you're there. We know what we're doing. We're fairly well structured now at it We have all the equipment. They're ready In order to capture what's going on And then just wait and see it's been Many many years it's have been lying in a cold wet honey trench Left behind when finished in the army, but this brings it all back 20 minutes pass with no sign of anything And I'm beginning to wonder if our fly tippers have been spooked But minutes later out of the darkness we see and hear a car approaching Could this be fly tippers scoping out the next place to dump their rubbish? Thankfully somebody read it was just a passerby So we've been on the stage well over an hour and I'm wondering if you haven't seen who's flight to be yet It's cold. It's wet, but it just shows how dedicated Martin really are Glenn and Martin set up surveillance cameras in the hope of gathering evidence from any less innocent visitors But even the most committed crime fighters need their rest And so it's time for this soldier to leave his station for the night We'll be back here tomorrow and the next day and the day after that because we know they come here once twice a week So it's just a question to keep trying. I think you do a brilliant job guys Come rain, sleep snow. I know that you are going to be out catching those fly tippers, but right now I think it's time for a brew. I I definitely agree We may not have caught anyone in action tonight, but For a set of brew They might want a glass of wine or something. Ain't that long with wine, but you know just saying As predicted it wasn't long before tippers did strike at our stakeout spot Just two days later Martin and Glenn captured this hooded criminal in the Winchester woodland With the driver staying behind the wheel for a quick getaway a microwave is thrown out of the back of the vehicle A vacuum cleaner is also chucked and without a care in the world for the environment Or indeed anyone else who might be watching a tumble dryer is tossed away I know bro, I stopped mid mid tumble dryer throw to scratches, but For the environment Or indeed anyone else That's wild Who might be watching a tumble dryer is tossed away Martin has now passed the evidence from this incident on to the authorities Here's my thing though. Why would you drop it there when you can literally You drove all the way over there when you could probably drive to a Registered place where you can actually dump it legally Like I don't even but we can all play a part in tackling this merciless mess maker in Chicago You could just put that outside and somebody to come pick it up literally What we used to call them the metal man the metal man to come get that That's money for them to report an illegal dump of waste You can send its location and even pictures to your local council using martin's clear waste app You can also report it directly to the council or in the case of large-scale dumping or hazardous waste Call crime stoppers 100-800-555-111 Remember not to touch the site in case of dangerous substances And to protect any vital evidence that could identify the flytippers and lead To their prosecution Anytime you get rid of some waste Make sure you know where it's going. Make sure that you check that the trade is licensed We need more consumer responsibility. We need tougher sentences By the legal system that are actually enforced We need more councils to take up issuing And I'll keep going as long as there's breath in my body on this thing I want to see a better place for our children. I want to see a better place for our environment Our only shot So let's all come together and see what we can do to make a real difference Still to come A trusting pensioner is hoodwinked by a scammer Earlier on Nick and I had to pull out all the stops to try and save a young woman in five from a brutal scam To protect her identity We're calling her Mary My name's rav wilding. I want to warn you that the person you've just been speaking to Is a scammer. You've just been speaking to scammers. My name's rav wilding. I'm calling. Yes Yeah, don't worry you them No, she's hung up With some persistence I did eventually convince mary that she was falling victim to a fraudster who while trying to take her cash Also stole her and her father's very personal information You need to change all your passwords that you've got because we believe the scammers have a copy of all your passwords Well, because I've just given them all A few days later Mary agreed to catch up with me and give me her side of what went on with those scammers Hello, it's rav wilding calling from bbc. Hello So I just want to see how you are now Not gonna lie mary. I me personally I would have given them my information like them I wouldn't have wanted to stay here. Just go ahead. Give me my 15 minutes of time. You get me Oh now the dust has settled a bit Yeah, I feel a few better now I'm still a wee bit embarrassed but it happened And can't believe that I actually fell for it to be honest w accent You shouldn't feel like that because this is what they do Yeah, could you just briefly explain? Um, what actually did happen that day? Yeah, I was driving to work and I got a phone call Um, they caught you in a frenzy too. You was busy. You was driving to work. You couldn't probably think straight So it was on there through my phone speaker Um, and I got told that someone was trying to buy an iphone 7 with my amazon account Thank you for placing an order with amazon. You have been charged 399 pounds on your card So I panicked, um, and then they asked me to Check my bank And I couldn't see anything So then I was more concerned about it. I've done everything they told me to do That's why they're downloading an app That they could see everything on my screen Um, and then what happened after that? The guy on the phone was telling me what to do At some point I was questioning him The thing he was asking me was like, can we click on your bank card on your amazon account?

Yeah, definitely. I was more concerned about His, um, banking and everything else in mine. Um, that would have been a Diggerable for me if anything was to happen with that.

The one who necessarily exists, Ar-Rahman, the university merciful, Ar-Rahim, the particularly merciful and amongst his particular mercies that he has given us is that he has made us believers and not only has he made us believers, he has particularly made us believers from the Ummah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ. That he has given faith to those that might have come before and he has not taken anything from their right, that when they did a deed Allah Azza wa Jalla gave them the reward of a deed and that when they committed a sin they would have the recompense of a sin. But for the Ummah of Sayyidina Muhammad ﷺ Allah Azza wa Jalla has multiplied the deeds of each act by at least ten and for the deeds that one does wrong, those deeds that we should not be committing, Allah Azza wa Jalla only takes us into account for that one deed and does not multiply it whatsoever. The he Azza wa Jalla has made attaining his proximity and his Jannah and his pleasure easier on this Ummah. This is from the khasais from the particularities of the beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ that Allah has given him that honor, that he has made this Ummah the best of Ummah, the best nations that have come out to mankind merely as a way of giving Sharaf, of giving honor to his Habib ﷺ and that comes with the responsibility. This responsibility is that we are the flag bearers of deen in the times when there is no deen. We are the flag bearers of religiosity and of godliness. When others have forgotten what godliness is. When others have left the ways of the prophets, the Ummah of Isa ﷺ has left the message that he came with, the Ummah of Musa ﷺ has left the message that he came with, the Ummah of Ibrahim ﷺ has left the message that he came with. And we have come as revivers of that message, that there is a burden on the believer, that they are flag bearers of the word La ilaha illallah, that there is no deity except Allah, that there is no one who has hukum, who has rule other than Allah ﷺ, that there is no other who has worth other than Allah ﷺ. If anything has worth in this world, it is because Allah ﷺ gave it worth. Had it not been for him, it would have not had any worth attached to it. And Allah has attached worth to us because of our relation to him ﷺ. كنتم خير أمة أخرجت للناس, that you are the best of people who have ever come out to mankind. تأمرون بالمعروف وتنهونا عن المنكر, you enjoying that which is good of course with wisdom.  But if we allow ourselves to become distant from what is good and allow ourselves to engage in things that we should not be engaging, we have lost the reason that we are خير أمة, that we are the best nations. And in a manner we are, in some manner we are being ungrateful for the blessing of being of this ummah, of the ummah of our Prophet ﷺ, that Allah has made it easy for this ummah to attain jannah. Previous ummah, if the previous nations would do a deed, Allah would give them the reward of the deed to its fullest extent. He wouldn't take away from their right. Out of his love for the Prophet ﷺ, he gives this ummah at least ten. And it's our responsibility to act on that love, right? To do something about it.  To be people who become more prophetic. To be people who have mercy in our hearts for the people that have justice in our hearts, people that have Allah Azza wa Jalla in our hearts. That we have mercy in our hearts because we recognize that this world came out as a mercy. This world came into being as a mercy. Allah could have put some in jannah and some in jahannam and he would not have to answer to anyone for that. It would have been his choice. But as a mercy unto us, he has allowed ourselves to test, he has given us the opportunity to show us ourselves whether we deserve one destination or the other, whether we deserve the fire, whether we deserve his paradise. And sometimes it seems as if paradise is an insurmountable mountain, it is difficult to get. Sometimes it may seem like that. And that we should know that Allah Azza wa Jalla has, he has given us Jumu'ah for expiation of deeds between one Jumu'ah to the other. He has given us Ramadan as expiation between the misdeeds that we have between one Ramadan to the other. He has given us Hajj, the pilgrimage to the house of Allah. He has given us Hajj and he has allowed us to know where to make pilgrimage. He hasn't left it for us to figure out. And he's given us the rights of pilgrimage. What do you do when you make that pilgrimage? He did not have to give that to us. He Azza wa Jalla had mercy to give that to us. And when you make that Hajj, that is an expiation of all the misdeeds you may have done in your life. And then between the prayers, the expiation of the misdeeds we may do in between prayers, the adhqa that we recite in the morning is expiation for the misdeeds we may have had from the previous night. And the adhqa that we recite at night is expiation for the misdeeds we may have had in the day. There is no reason that a believer should feel as if Jannah is difficult. Allah Azza wa Jalla says in a hadith Qudsi, so this is the wording of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in which he expresses the meaning Allah Azza wa Jalla is conveying. I am according to the opinion of my servant. If we see Allah Azza wa Jalla as an entity that wants to punish us and wants to make our lives difficult and wants us to bring us out of the comfort of our beds every fujr, if we see him as an entity that wants us to hunger, I want us to hunger ourselves through the fast and to deprive ourselves of wealth because of zakat. Deprive ourselves of our base desires by having preference for the other. If that's how we see him Azza wa Jalla as someone who wants to give us difficulty then that is how we will find him Azza wa Jalla. And if we believe him to be a merciful God, that it is true that Allah punishes. Allah has attributes of rigor but he has allowed his mercy to overwhelm those attributes of rigor that my mercy overwhelms all things, encompasses all things. If that's how we see him and we see these acts of obedience as an opportunity to gain the mercy of Allah, the mercy of Allah. If we see Tawba as an opportunity for us to turn back to Allah to the one that is the greatest beloved Azza wa Jalla as a way to orient ourselves to the one who has given us the most beloved things to ourselves, our faith. If we see it as that opportunity then there is no reason that one should despair. Every moment is an opportunity of receiving his mercy Azza wa Jalla. Every moment, if we see the opportunity of preferring the other when there's not enough to share but still preferring the other over the desires of ourselves and when we prefer somebody else Allah Azza wa Jalla prefers us. If we see that as an opportunity there's no reason for us to despair. So we're in the balance between Khuf and Rajat, reverent fear of Allah Azza wa Jalla that yes we do know that he is the all-powerful creator who can punish us but that we did not allow that to allow us to despair because we also have hope in him Azza wa Jalla that he will not disappoint us if we if we expect him to be a merciful Lord that he will not disappoint us in spite of the of the deficient actions we bring he will not disappoint us he will accept that he will accept that deed so long as we believe that he will and we do it with sincerity because he Azza wa Jalla asked that we see he has made it easy to attain his Jannah and that we have he has sent the Prophet SAW his most beloved to us and he has made us part of that ummah that ummah which the at the end of times the Prophet SAW said that his ikhwan that his brothers he called us our brothers and sisters by extension that their actions are worth fifty of the actions of Sahaba there are there is no better creation after the Prophet's other than the Sahaba are the best creation after the Prophet's best of creation after the Prophet's but Allah Azza wa Jalla has given us the reward of fifty of the Sahaba in the in the end of times and the end of time starts with that with the coming with the advent of the Prophet SAW he SAW said that him in the hour were sent like this and he put his two fingers up and it was a closed space in between his two fingers we understand that we are in those times and that when we are people who hold on to iman when everyone else is leaving iman we hold on to godly principles when everyone else is leaving godly principles because it's not the norm because it's not attractive because nobody else is doing it when we hold on to it because it is from Allah and His Messenger SAW that we have the reward of fifty of the Sahaba and what is their reward radiallahu anhum Allah has not made it difficult for us to attain Jannah and if we believe that He Azza wa Jalla will reward us with fifty of our reward to be multiplied fifty on top of the ten five hundred times on top of however much the reward of the Sahaba is multiplied we don't we don't even know how to enumerate that these are the people who threw themselves in the Prophet SAW with to defend him from arrows to defend him from what is their reward we don't know so how much reward is Allah Azza wa Jalla give us and if we feel that is not sufficient that Allah Azza wa Jalla has given us the Salat on the on the Prophet SAW Allah says Inna Allah wa Malaikatahu yusalluna ala nabi ya yuhalladheena amura sallu alayhi wa sallim wa tassneema oh Allah and His angels send their prayers and salutations upon the Prophet SAW Allah lets you know that He does that and this is the only Prophet that Allah commands to send Salat on that Prophet and then when you do it Abu Hurayr radiallahu anhum came to the Prophet SAW and he said if I made this much of my dua Salat upon you would it be good would it be good for me and he said it would be good for you if you're placed in did more that'd be better and he said how about if I made it this much and then this much and then so on and so forth how about if I made this much of my my dua as this much of my if this much of my dua was prayer upon you sallallahu as-salam would that would that be good for me he said it'd be good for you and if he did more it's better until he said if I made my entire dua salawat upon you salallahu as-salam would that be good for me he said it'd be good for you and all your worries would be taken care of whatever intention you have between behind the salawat it's taken care of and when you make the salawat as is narrated in the most in by al-haqim and his mustadrak he says two narrations that one he says that that part that salawat is is shown to me and the one who did the salawat is shown to me and then the father of the one the parents of the one is shown to me and then I send salawat back upon him and his family how much mercy do we receive in that how much mercy do we receive in that so Allah has not made it hard if jannah is our aspiration and that is our concern if Allah Azawaj is our concern then the salawat sallallahu as-salam will suffice you for that concern this obviously does not relieve us of fulfilling our obligations it is not relieve us of him saying of staying away from his prohibitions as a wajan but it's just to show the mercy of Allah that he's given us so many avenues so you think Allah Azawaj for those avenues we ask that Allah make his people of gratitude of those avenues that he has given us to achieve his proximity achieve his jannah I couldn't call you have a was that's it Allah Ali well I come when he's sari al-muslim in ya come he's taku firu inna huhu al-ghafoor al-raheem Bismillah walhamdulillah was salatu was salam ala Rasulillah wa ala Ali he was Sahbihi man wala Allah Azawaj has given us Juma as expiation for the misdeeds between one to another and on that day of Juma he has given us a moment that when you ask Allah so long as it's not something Allah has prohibited Allah will give it to you Allah will give it to you whether you see it in this dunya or if it comes in in the form of warning off some harm that is coming to you whether Allah Azawaj are storing something better for you in the Akhirah in that hour Allah says Allah the Prophet has promised that Allah will give you something give you what you ask for and usually that's in between the two khutbahs that most of the alama say that's between the two khutbahs in the Juma when when we sit down we say that I've said what I've said was to feel Allah so let's seek the forgiveness of Allah what he said he must they mean right and for all the believers that moment if we ask for istikhfar if we ask Allah that ya Allah I want you to cover the sins that I have will I could you but then Allah Husayat in Hassanat that those who make Toba to Allah and do good deeds then those are the people who Allah not only erases their misdeeds Allah replaces their misdeeds with good deeds so that you're not embarrassed in front of him on the day of judgment when he doesn't say why did you do such and such action that actually you may that you have done is covered and it's replaced with a good deed so may Allah make us the people of Malfira Allah makes the people who have Rahman our hearts Allah makes the people of Aethar for others so that Allah has Aethar for us Allah Azza make us the people salawat upon his beloved Salam Allah makes the people whose worries and anxieties are are are are are removed by his rights Allah Allah Azza make us the people who are consistent on enacting his enacting his command commandments and avoiding his prohibitions Allah Azza allow us to be people who take those opportunities to to to find his forgiveness and his Rahmat and his and his his mercies may Allah Azza make us the people who are recipients of his mercy both in the dunya and in the Akhirah may Allah make us the people make us vessels of mercy the others find the mercy of Allah through us Allah makes the people where where others find the mercy of Allah to us may Allah Azza allow us to allow us to have our deeds multiplied many fold but beyond numbers that we can imagine may Allah Azza cover our sins may Allah Azza forgive us for our misdeeds may Allah Azza give us solace and him he make me he be our only source of Salam we say Allahumma antah salam ومنك السلام تبارة ياذا جلالي وليك رام حينا ودفلنا دار السلام ربنا آتينا في الدنيا حسنة وفي الآخرة حسنة وقنا عضاء بالنار ربنا هبدنا من أظواجنا وظرنياتنا قرر وتعيني ورجعنا لمتقين إيمامة may Allah Azza have mercy on our parents our teachers, particularly our first teachers are parents so he say رب يرحم هما كما رب يعني صغير رب يرحم هما كما رب يعني صغير رب يرحم هما Allah has recognized that Allah and His angels send the prayers and peace upon the Prophet We ask you to do the same


Hi, I'm Corporal Alexander Gunner. I'm an A.B. Audix technician, 6332. A.V.I. is my part and I love it and that's my job, but we're all a real integral part to the area you're working. This area in any jet, for that matter, wouldn't work without all of these systems and all of these systems go together to make a jet. It's just not one system or one shop. Power line, airframes, A.V.I., seat shop, ordinance, even maintenance control who don't necessarily touch the jet. We're all very important to making this jet fly safe for our pilots, safe for the communities, and also to, you know, help us out when we're doing training events like this or going overseas to try to help our ground units stay safe. We're all a very integral part to making sure that this area works.
