Live from Copenhagen, Denmark, it's theCUBE covering KubeCon and CloudNativeCon Europe 2018, brought to you by the CloudNative Computing Foundation and its ecosystem partners. Hello, welcome back everyone. We're live here at theCUBE in Copenhagen, Denmark for KubeCon 2018 Europe, part of the CNCF CloudNative Compute Foundation, part of the Linux Foundation. I'm John Furrier, my co-host, Laura Cooney here this week. And our next two guests are Yvonne Huron and Javi, founder and CTO of Iguazio and Doug Davis, who is the co-chair of the serverless working group in the CNCF as well as a developer advocate for IBM, IBM Cloud. Great to see you, welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. Thanks for coming in. So I love the serverless working group, I want to dig into that with a bunch of questions. So super important trend, obviously we're seeing that success, functions and all of the good stuff's going on, programmable infrastructure. So I want to dig into that. But first, Yvonne, I want to get into what's going on with the business. What's new with you, Iguazio? I saw you're on the sponsorship list here, you're doing a lot of work. You have some news as well. What's going on at KubeCon Europe for you? Yeah, so we're expanding on the big side very nicely, taking more momentum on this trend towards edge analytics, edge cloud. People starting to understand that central cloud is not the only way to build clouds. We're also progressing nicely on our serverless framework called Nucleo. It just was published maybe eight months ago already, about 2,000 stars in GitHub users. We've got some quotes and PRs around the production version of that, including partnership, strong partnership with Azure on being able to run the same functions in Azure and the cloud and the joint development effort as well as customers actually using it to build real-time analytics use case in development in the cloud and deployment in different locations. Our audience knows you well. We've been on the Kube many times. You're also right for us as well as other blogs. With your opinion, pieces, and commentary. So it's always edgy and strong and right on the money. I want to ask you your thoughts on serverless because you were there from day one. I remember the conversations. It wasn't called serverless. We're talking about resource pools and looking at cloud computing, simplifying about potentially what Kubernetes and orchestration was going to look like. It's happening. So are you happy with the progress of the industry performance of the tech stack? What's your thoughts on serverless today, this data, the union? What's your opinion? I think it's progressing nicely. I think many people call everything almost serverless now. You have serverless databases. You have serverless everything. I think serverless will become more and more a feature of a platform, not necessarily a thing, but Salesforce will have serverless functions, Wix will have serverless functions for their own stuff. Obviously cloud platforms and analytics platforms, et cetera. So there'll be maybe a family of generic ones and a family of sort of platform-specific that are more use case-oriented. Does that connect with your business plan for Aguazio? Are you evolving with it? How are you navigating those waters on the adoption side? So, you know, I'm sort of trying to be inclusive. I think there's room for more than one serverless framework. There's also OpenWisks and OpenFaz and a few of those. Our focus is mainly real-time analytics and high performance and data processing. Yes, we can also do other things, but maybe we won't invest too much in some features that are more front-end oriented or something like that. So you're staying focused on the core? Yes, on the other end, other people that deal with front-end will focus on HTTP and glue logic and things like that. Most of the frameworks don't have the same capabilities of nuclear like real-time stream distribution, real-time low latencies, all that stuff. So I think there's room for multiple frameworks and that's also part of the relationship with Azure. Azure have their own product, which is very good in integration with Azure Stack and, you know, Azure components. On the other end, in areas of real-time analytics and IoT, nuclear is stronger. So their interest is rather than saying, no, we'll choose just one horse. Why won't we enable the market and allow the people the choice in solution? That's great. On IBM's side, I want to get your thoughts on the working group as well as IBM. You guys have done a lot of open source IBM, well-known in the Linux history books, as we know. And now I'm very active, again, continuing that mission. Congratulations and thanks for doing that. But the serverless working group, this is a broader scope now. Can you just give some color on the commentary around how that's evolving? Because you guys have a lot of blue chip customers, you know, Cloud Foundry just did a survey, I was talking to Abby Kearns yesterday about the results came back. Mainstream tech, not middle of the country, but they heard about Kubernetes like, what's Kubernetes, you have people going, okay, I got a job to do. But now Kubernetes has arrived. This is a key part of a micro services focus. Right, yeah. And so the way the serverless group kind of got started was about a year ago, the CNCF TOC, Technical Oversight Committee, decided serverless is kind of a new technology. We want to figure out what's going on in that space. And so they started up a working group and our job wasn't to really decide what to do about it yet. It was sort of give us the landscape, what's going on out there, what are people doing, what does serverless even mean relative to function of the service or even the other as is and stuff like that. What does a serverless frameworks generally look like? What do people use it for, use case, stuff like that? And then at the end of that, we produced a white paper with our results as well as a landscape sort of spread you to say all the various technologies out there in that space, who's doing what, without trying to pick winners to say what's there. And then we ended with a set of recommendations in terms of what are possible next steps the CNCF could do in this space with an eye towards interoffability more than anything else, because that's what really we care about. We don't want vendor lock in all the good stuff. And so we had set of recommendations and one of the main ones was two main things. One was function signatures is a very popular one, but we decided to focus on eventing first because we thought that might be an easier fruit to pick off the tree first. And so we're going to focus on the format or metadata of an event as it transfers between systems. And so from the service working group, we created a cloud events sort of little subgroup within our working group to focus on creating a specification around what the metadata around an event would look like just so we can get some commonality. That way, at least the infrastructure between the two systems can transfer the events back and forth much in the same way HTTP layer doesn't have to understand the body of the message but can look at common headers and know how to route it properly. Same kind of things with eventing. And again, this is all about trying to get interoffability and portability for applications or end users more than anybody else. And so that's kind of where our focus has been on how can we help the end user not get locked into one platform, not get locked into one solution and make their life easier overall. Where are you now with that? Is it running? Is it? Oh, we're all done. No. Where have we done that last week? No, actually as of last week though, we just released our first version at 0.1. It's a very, very basic thing that people might look at and say, what's the big deal? But even with that simple little thing, we've been able to get some level of interoffability between the various platforms. And if people actually join, when is it, Friday, 11 o'clock? We have a session where someone's going to demonstrate interoffability between, oh gosh, IBM, you guys, Microsoft, DMware, Google, all the various companies involved in this thing. That's great. Yeah, they're all going to be receiving, or sending, either sending or receiving events using the common event format, I'm sorry, cloud event format, to prove interoffability around the specification. So we're just at 0.1, we have some way to go, but that first step was huge just to get agreement and everybody to the table to agree. So it's been really, it was really fun. And it wasn't easy. It wasn't easy. And he's the peacemaker in the group. We have a lot of, I'm the troublemaker. We have a lot of vocal people in the group. Yes. We're not pointing at anyone. More on that. Important first step, obviously commonality and having some sort of standardization kind of thinking. Yes. How is this? Yeah, you don't use the standard words. There are people allergic to that. Well, yeah, I mean, this is standard bodies and whatnot, but in terms of the community work going on, this is super important. And what's the impact of that? Obviously it's small step, but a big step, right? So what's it going to impact? What's next? What's coming next? Now that you've got the metadata and you've got the interoperability, what's next? Well, obviously we need to finish it up because that's the 0.1 is obviously the first step. As I said, I think beyond that, people are really itching to do function signatures. Because I think if you can get the event format coming in to be somewhat similar, and then you can get portability of moving your function from one platform to another with hopefully minimal changes from a function signature point of view, you're a long way there towards getting portability for people. And I think that's probably the next step we're going to be looking at. And what's the technical case from a commercial entity like yourself, who's in business to make money? I'll see you in business to run. As you build out your architecture, where is this going to be applied for you? What's the impact of this project to your product? So beyond my strong religion around open APIs, and you've seen the blogs I've written about, you know, our interest is twofold. First, we're not the market leader, you know, Amazon is the market leader, et cetera. So if you have a better technology and things are standard, it's easier for customers to move. Second is we believe in this portability across closer to the data, closer to where the processing, especially when 5G is going to evolve and we're going to see bottlenecks between metro locations. So our sense is go develop in the cloud and then push it, you know, the digital twin model. This is exactly what we're demonstrating with Azure. You know, you could develop it Azure, on nuclear functions and deploy in a factory. So having, you know, it may not be the same platform. It may not be the same serverless framework. So having the ability to run the same sort of code in different frameworks or different platforms is very important. And IBM, you're doing a lot of work. OpenWISC has been something that's gotten a lot of press and notoriety. What's up with you guys at OpenSource? Obviously, we see you guys out there doing a lot of stuff. You're doing a lot of content, doing a lot of coding. What's new over on the IBM side of the house with the serverless? From my point of view, I think probably the biggest thing is we're leading the charge importing OpenWISC to run on top of Kubernetes. And I think what's interesting about that is we're going to see probably some changes to Kubernetes needed to be made to get the better performance that we need. Because when OpenWISC runs, vanilla on top of, say, Run-C, or the Docker stuff, we have a lot more freedom there, pausing containers, stuff like that, stuff you can't do in Kubernetes. We're probably going to see some more pressure on Kubernetes to add some more features to get the kind of performance numbers we need going forward. And the scale too is important to understand. I was just talking about the keynotes earlier with another guest and CERN is up there. They have 1,000 nodes, not massive numbers yet. That's scale. Amazon on the big clouds, you guys have clouds, like, got a lot of nodes. So there's a lot more scale going on in the cloud as Kubernetes starts to get its footing. How do you explain Kubernetes, how do both of you guys explain Kubernetes to the IT transformation group out there that's going cloud operations? So what we've seen, because we're also selling sort of an appliance, a fully integrated solution, people don't necessarily, in the enterprise, they don't necessarily want to understand low level of Kubernetes. And actually, serverless is a nice way for doing that.  It auto-scales, you don't need to think about the underlying, you know, kubectl, underlying networking. It's all done there for you. And I think what you see in the trend in the industry, some people call it serverless, some people call it other things, is more and more abstractions where users will deploy code, will deploy containers, and some frameworks underneath will deal with the high availability, elasticity, all that. That's what enterprise customers are looking for. Another one is eBay and Google, you know, and Netflix. You have thoughts? What I think is interesting, I agree with what you said, but I think it's interesting, is you actually have a wider range of people, right? You have some people who think Kubernetes, as you said, nice abstraction layer, you don't have to get into the need grid if you don't need to. But Kubernetes does allow you to get under the covers and twiddle those lower level bits if you actually need to. And I think that's one of the things that, you know, people start out with Docker. They like it, it's so simple to use, and it's wonderful, and I love it. But they found it a little bit limiting, because it was too opinionated or didn't give you access to things under the covers. Kubernetes, I think, is trying to find that right balance between the two, and I think for the most part, they kind of hit it. There's a little bit more of a learning curve, because it's not quite as user-friendly as Docker is. But once you get over that learning hump, all the flexibility it gives you, people seem to really, really like that. What are some of the things that people do under the covers? You mentioned some tweaks here and there. Is it policy-based stuff? What's happening under the covers that Kubernetes is getting a groove swing on now? There is something called custom resource definition. So for example, when we deploy a nuclear, maybe OpenWizk or others as well, is essentially, nuclear becomes another resource that you can actually view when you're running the Kubernetes CLI or all the other things that manage its liveliness, et cetera. So those are services that you get from free as a platform, but if you want your function to keep being alive, you need to code your functions into the liveliness API. The thing that monitors it is staying alive. So you're getting a generic service, but you need to work with it. Yeah, actually, I'd go one step further with that and abstract it a little. Because obviously, Kubernetes has a lot of knobs you can turn. A lot more than other platforms like Docker has. But I think for me, the biggest benefit of Kubernetes is the plugability. Custom resource definitions, one of them, ripping out schedulers or whatever controllers you want to replace it with your own. That kind of flexibility to say, I don't have to leave the entire Kubernetes world just to write my own scheduler or write the infrastructure around it. I can plug in my own. That's the kind of flexibility people seem to really, really like. That way they don't feel locked in, they can still play a part of the ecosystem, but get the flexibility and customization they need. Awesome, great commentary there. I want to get your thoughts on KubeCon 2018 Europe for CNCF, continuing to see growth in CNCF, fantastic to see.  As people want to start getting their cause into projects, there's some balance on the community side. Are you guys happy with the direction, obviously the success and the visibility has increased? What's your take on the show here? What are you guys doing? Just what's going on around the event for you guys? So it only started today, but my impression comparing it with the previous show in the US, there are a lot more decision makers here. I don't know if it's the European culture of not funding every sort of student to every show, or just the maturity of the ecosystem. But that's something I've noticed that discussions I had with decision makers and they're also not everyone like in the US, I felt everyone wants to build it their own way. People hear things about operationalizing solutions. So sometimes you need to take something that someone else already built and tested. And what's the conversations like that you're having? Is it architecture? Is it deploying production workloads? So for us, it's a lot about use cases because we're doing things in a very different way. We're doing some nice demos on how we're running real-time analytics with a sample sort of database as the core. And we're showing how it's equivalent to another solution that they may build. And that immediately clicks, you know. We need that. The other aspect is really the need to, there's so much technology, but we need someone to wrap it up for us as a packet solution. And that's another. Doug, your thoughts, first of all, I love your shirts as code with all the words in the community. Yeah, they're my favorite shirts, I like it. Love that shirt. I'm just looking at all these questions that pop into my head. What's your plan that's shown here? What's your goal? What are you guys doing? What conversations are you hearing in the hallways? Well, obviously, even from IBM, we just promote IBM as much as we can, obviously. Now, but beyond that, really talk about the interoperability around what we're doing here and make sure people understand that we're not here necessarily to sell our products, which we all obviously want to do. We want to make sure that we do it in a way that give people a choice. And that's why we had to have the service working group, the cloud event spec. It's all about giving everybody the choice to move from one platform to another to get their job done. As much as we want people to buy our stuff, if the customer isn't happy in getting what they need, then we're all going to lose. Yeah, and these projects are super important to get the solidarity around these both standards. Just to follow on your previous question about the conference itself, what we like. Obviously, it's great that it's growing so much. But what I really like about this conference, beyond some other ones that I've seen, is a lot of the other ones tend to have more marketing flair to them. And obviously, there's a little bit of that here if you are promoting their stuff. But I love the fact that most of the stuff that I'm doing here aren't in the sessions, because the sessions are great and interesting. But it's the hallway chatter and interacting with people face to face, and not just to meet them, to actually have real technical deep discussions with them here at the conference, because everybody's here. You can do that much better face to face than you can over a Zoom call or something else. And the productivity from that level is just astronomical. I love it. Yeah, I totally agree. And one thing I would add, just my observation interviews in the hallways is that we're living, and we talk about this on theCUBE all the time, a modern software architectures here. And it's got some visibility around. It's not filled in yet, but I think this clear visibility, cloud, microservices, interoperability, portability, pretty clear. And people are engaged, people excited. So you get the progressive new guard coming in on board here. So great job. Thanks for coming on theCUBE. We appreciate it. Thank you. You're on. Iguazio and IBM here on theCUBE, breaking down KubeCon 2018 Europe. More live coverage. Stay with us. We'll be right back after this short break.


Hey everyone, welcome to Figure Fantasy, so we're here previewing the upcoming collab event between Figure Fantasy and Black Rock Shooter Dawn Fall. So this particular collab doesn't have an announcement yet on when it's going to be out in global, but we're going to preview the events that are available for the collab. Okay, first on the horizon is Moment of Memories Awakening. So this one, I'm sure you're familiar with it, so this one is for free-to-play, for those who are willing to spam, you get extra rewards. After that, we have Dawn of Horizon. This one is also a familiar event to you guys. So we have here your Empress mission, this is for the story. Then we have the puzzle of course, because this has been a mainstay as the event. Then the cave restaurant, which is actually your store. So your collab store. This one is going to be a part of the story for this collab, and this one are the events we're in there are bosses. Again, you're very familiar with this, there are bosses we're in, we take down Simple Hard, Easy Hard and Nightmare up to the last one, which is Torment. So moving back to, so we discussed Fortune Puzzle, right? So, okay, Daily Sign In, this one I collected. This particular currency is going to be used in your, this is I think going to be used for the event for the store. No, this is for the store. Sorry, this is for the bingo. This one is for this event. For the Dawn of Horizon, once you want to collect this sweep rewards, you need those baseball icons so that you can claim those. So these are your daily rewards. Also, we have limited rewards for the collab. So we have Perception of Devil's Horn. So this one, as we progress, we will be able to get these rewards. You guys are, again, I think familiar with this. We also have Rare Earth Collection Operation. This one, I'll have a more detailed video in terms of the items here worth it. I'm not going to dive into this now. I'll do a separate video for this one. But the exclusive Adornment and badges are here. So take note of that. And also, Dead Master is also here at 200. So this is where you unlock hers. So we'll discuss this in a different video. Okay, so next up is Cozy Tea, no, going back. Sorry, Cozy Tea Party. So these are additional items we're in. Like, for example here, this is going to be the Adornment for Dead Master. I presume. So you can buy it here. So these are additional packs that we can, you can buy, you can purchase just in case if you want to go all in on her. And leveling her up. And also her, again, her badge is here. Her Adornment is here. If you want to purchase those, you're going to be here. I'm going to do a separate review for them. So please take a look at that video. Next would be, let's just go back. Light of Dawn is just, you do this, you share this because you're going to be receiving 300 gems each or diamonds each for each share, I presume, because these are two or this is only one. Anyway, you get diamonds for sharing this. And also the resource collection, these are just tasks that we should complete. We will be getting a free Empress Black Rock Shooter piece here, which is 60, which is equivalent to one, you know, one Ultra. And what else do we have here? So the resource collection is also tasks that we should get. And we should get this, the chip for the Rare Earth, Rare Earth Collection Operation Event. Okay, so that is it, guys. That is the event or these are the events that we'll be having. So Horizon Dawn, then limited events, tons of events for the upcoming collab between Figure Fantasy and Black Rock Shooter Dawn Fault. So watch out for my other videos. They will include again, a discussion on Dawn of, not Dawn of Horizon, I don't know, not Dawn of Horizon. It will be a discussion on Rare Earth Collection Operation. It's a long title, I'm sorry. And also I'm going to be reviewing the skills and abilities of the two new figures that we'll be receiving for this game. So thank you very much, guys. So hope to see you in the collab and take care. Stay safe. This is The Warden and I'm out of here.


Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Jen Blake. The National Park Service and the U.S. Navy hosted a joint memorial ceremony commemorating the 73rd anniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor. The ceremony was held on the main lawn of the Pearl Harbor Visitor Center at the World War II Valor in the Pacific National Monument. More than 2,500 distinguished guests and the general public joined current and former military personnel, including survivors and other World War II veterans, for the annual observance of the 1941 attack. Wreaths representing all four branches of the military and U.S. Coast Guard were laid at the memorial by Pearl Harbor survivors and active duty personnel. For more information about the December 7th attack on Pearl Harbor, visit the Naval History and Heritage Command website.


Yo, what's poppin', boys and girls, ladies and gents. Welcome back to another episode. So before we hop into this, I wanna talk about a couple quick things you need to hear me out real quick. But the first thing, if you're new to the channel, man, hit that subscribe button, hit the notification bell. Also, hit the like button if you guys have been enjoying the content. Drop some comments down below, guys.  Drop some comments down below. So today's video is insane, but let me cut you right here.  It is the craziest thing I've almost ever experienced while fishing. It's probably one of my best days on the water ever. Like if I had to categorize it, probably my top three best days on the water that I've ever lived for. And it's unbelievable. We're literally catching fish every single cast. And in the second episode, I have like 50 catches I haven't even put in this video that's going in the next one. It was insane. One of the craziest bites ever caught some big ones back to back to back casts. I'll feel like four casts and caught four giants in the next episode. Like, insane. But in this video too, it's just incredible. And I'm just excited for you guys to watch it. It's a killer video. I actually went out with my boy Fletcher. It's been a minute.  The first couple hours of the day, we only had like two or three fish. All of a sudden we caught 60. Like that, in like an hour. So hope you guys enjoy this one. I love you so much. I just wanted to give you a little story on how today's video is gonna go, but we're gonna hop right into it. I hope you guys enjoy it. I hope you guys had a merry Christmas. I love you guys so much.  Let's hop right into this video. All right guys, we just made it on the water. We're gonna talk a little bit about the baits that we're gonna be tying on today. What we're gonna be throwing. I'm not throwing this jig. And this fluke I'm probably gonna keep on here. I got this Pro-Ti on a Mod Crush. We're gonna keep the fluke on this. We're out of things. It's gonna be a good bait for today. Then on this one, I think I'm gonna start off with either a crank bait or a chatter bait. I'm gonna make it in my mind real quick though. You know what? This is what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna start off with a fluke. Something different. How about, when, when, have I fished with a fluke out here? I don't think you have. I've been on this, bro. Listen, man, I've been on this fluke addiction. So I don't mind throwing it. I do have an old snappy one on here. We're gonna change it out. I actually have a straight-shank hook on this one too, cause I ran out of EWGs, but. I have some if you want some. I think I'll be, if I start missing fish, then I'll do it.  I don't care where you're at, a pond, a lake, anywhere. A fluke gets the job done. You can change up your retrieve. Fletcher's throwing like a blade bait. I'm curious about that, man. That could be a lot of fun. First cast, 10 pounder. I will say with a straight-shank compared to the EWG, it doesn't, um. Which is good? Yeah, it doesn't have enough. It's good of action.  You're good. You're good. Dude, I thought we were about to get a sea-boat there. They were literally coming right for us. First cast on the crank, brother. Oh, it's a good one. Dude, that's not a good one. That's not a bad one. Oh! Dude, I was just playing around, to be honest with you. That's a dang two and a half pounder. Yes, sir. It might be bigger than that. Look at that. That's a freaking tug. Guys, look at that for the first fish. Let me get these hooks out of them, and I'll show you this full fish. This is a dang good one, ain't you, Fletcher? Yes, sir. Not a bad way to start the day. You haven't seen his pot belly. You ate a lot of turkey this Christmas. Wait until you see her pot belly. She's a little bigger than you think. I'm hiding it from you. Got that hidden weight. And she had a lot of turkey. A lot of honey-baked ham. Look at that thing, dude. Is that not a football?  Thick boy. I think you gotta love about this winter fish though, man.  That's a solid two number right there. First fish today, I actually picked up Fletcher's crankbait. I was talking about some secret information that you're going to know soon. But beautiful just fish right there. I just chucked that crankbait out one cast. We saw some bait popping, we saw some bait on the graph, and the fish are here. He's got a buddy, brother. That was a good little fish. There we go, guys. That is our first fish. And I'm happy that I could catch that right there. It was my first cast. I picked up Fletcher's crankbait for a second where he was just talking, and all of a sudden... Donk. Okay, I ain't going to question it. And... You have another bite? Yeah, just calm down, man. Whoo! That was another one slapping it. They're here. See, these fish are on the bottom today, especially... There we go. Oh, yo. Not a bad one at all. That is a good fish. Dude, that might be a four pounder. Bro, that is a... Big? It's pretty good. You want me to land it for you? Yeah, I got 10 pounds, so I'm going to flip them. That's for sure. I will land him for you. Oh, my God. It's a four pounder. Get him on this side. You got a lipstick. Look at that. Oh, baby. He ain't four, but he's a high three of that big body. We're just talking about it. We're on him now, brother. We both caught our first fish. The two good ones? That's a dang good one. Bro, I'll take that all stinking day. Let's go. You should put your show of the fam real quick on that fish. Yeah, buddy. That's a nice three. Right after mine, we just doubled... Not like crazy football. Not like a super filled out one, but definitely one that's well on its way to being like that. This is a thick fish.  The fish with the boy back here, KTBTV, and we are on him already. Noah just caught himself a two. This one's in the high three range, and man, they seem like they're biting. Oh, baby. I love catching me some big green gals in the winter. Let's go. That's good. Let's go. That's a way to start it. You get smacked. I got him. You got him? I haven't hooked weird. Oh, gosh. Dude, they're all good ones.  He's a lot skinnier. It's a pound and a half, maybe. Look at that. He's a long fish. All of a sudden, he just like hit it once. I was like, whoa, that was a bite. I said, whoa, boy. Don't be making me like so. Yeah, you know how they do that? I hate that. It's all good. We're going to get him off hook.  Second fish, only about a pound and a half. But hey, he's a fish. Slap that thing good here in the same spot. We're going to move spots here in a moment, but there's a lot of bait, a lot of fish in the area. When you find that, especially this time of year, a lot of these fish get stacked up. So it's good to make multiple casts and pretty little guy. So to show you guys what I'm throwing, I'm throwing an underspin right here. It's one of my favorite baits. You guys have seen me throw it on the near the last couple of weeks. The underspin is a great bait, especially this time of year, just kill it. Fletcher said he had these new ones that he's been wanting to try out. He hasn't got to yet, so I was like, you know what, I'll give it a little go. You guys know I usually use the fish head underspin. That's just my favorite. It's been my favorite all these years. It's the original. That's all I've used, but you know, I like to try out the other ones as well. I just have so much confidence in the original. Here it is. It feels like a decent one. Yo buddy, right here on this primary point. Yep, it's a decent one. Not a big one, but it's a decent one, eh? Been a minute since we had a bite, so guess what? I'm gonna take it. It's about a, what did you say? It's a pound. What on a day like today? I mean, we saw one person fishing out here today and they didn't catch a thing, so we've already caught, what, like six? Yeah, that's six. I've caught three, you've caught three. But that is, I believe my third bass today on a crankbait guys. We just came to this other side of the lake and beautiful little one right there. I actually got, I believe he bit me the cast before. So we got this little tiny pocket right here. We're sitting here fishing the mouth. We actually caught a lot of good fish here before. We've filmed a good couple jig fishing videos on this corner and there's been fish stacked. So maybe we'll catch another one. Fletcher had one. Take with him. Is that gonna go? Might be a lot of fish down there. We just got to fire them up. Right there. Am I over you? Let's see. See that loon going back in there too. Oh, there he is. On? Yep. Yeah. No. That was a fishhead bite. I love that. I hooked said it wrong, but he still got hooked. Still got a hook in. I just picked up that fishhead. That's the second fish I caught right here. Oh, I thought you had one. I love this bite, bro. There's nothing more in the world. Look at that. How perfect that was. Perfect. Right through the top. Textbook. So guys, this is actually one of my favorite bass of all time. When I used to tournament fish a ton competitively in college tournaments, high school events. All the time it catches them. One thing you've got to think about with this bait though is you've got to hook set sideways. So when you have this bait, if you hook set up what happens is this goes and turns sideways and it won't hook them. So when you hook set sideways like a crankbait you get them most of the time. I have more of a mixture of a hook set and a side one there. I just can't. Fletcher's next to me.  More importantly, I was doing this but I didn't want to check you. I didn't want to do you dirty. But this bait you got to reel so slow to let's see if I can get on him like this. Oh, there he is. Dude, I'm talking just Dude, I'm talking. Oh, he just one slap. Oh. You got him? That's a decent one. There it is. That's fish head bite, bro. I didn't want to get me started on this. I'm about to freak out. That's a good one, dude. Better than I thought. Look at that. About two pounder. Man. He's high once. He could be two on a Wednesday. Not. Oh, he might be doing two pound. He might be pushing it.  Fish head. Look at that. Beautiful bass. Dude, that bite right there is so much fun to me. Change my GoPro battery. Let that thing sit down there for a while. Start reeling it and dump. That, I guess, every cast of the end of my rod right there, bro. He's on me. That's a big one. I think. Is that a catfish? Oh, that's a good one. Next cast. Yeah, they're freaking. Dude, look at him choke it. That's a two pounder. Guys, I want you to look at where, look at how this fish has ate this bait. It's two cast in a row, the underspin bite. Look at how this fish ate that bait, bro. Look at this.  Look at that. Dude, hailed it. Bro, that's how you want him to eat it. This fish head bite, I'm telling you so much fun to me. Like I said, I had a day with almost 90 fish on this thing. That's crazy, bro. This bait I've had so many good days with if I can get this dang thing out of his mouth. And they're stacked down there. When you find this fish stacked on a fish head, you about to have the time of your life. He literally had it in the back of his throat. That's how you want to see it. That's a good fish, too, ain't it? Yes, sir. That's the best one over here yet. Yeah, it's the best one over here. I see that first one I caught might be a little bigger, but that's a two pounder.  That's just having fun living life. Enjoying the beautiful day on the water, my boy Fletcher. Let's go catch another one. That's two fish in a row. And I'm going to tell you I've thrown like 10 casts and it's like almost every cast. If I catch another one, Fletcher, you might have to get on. Yeah, I was literally about the tie that went on.  It's going to be a blast if there's more down there. Snap that leader off. That's a decent one. You got another one? No, you can't. That was close.  I can't even... They're in the same spot, too. They're on this corner and there's probably like 50 fish stacked here, guys. This is the type of winter fishing bite that I want to experience every single year the rest of my life.  Perfectly hooked in the side of his mouth. He's got a push and probably a dang two pounder. Look at that. Pretty good. He's a chunker. Same spot. Don't move us up any closer. They just right here. It's like you're throwing in in the Bass Pro Shops tank. You know what's funny is we couldn't get bites for hours today, bro. That's how fishing goes, man. Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing. Then all your fish come in five minutes. Especially winter fishing, you know, something about that winter fishing these fish stack up. You're going to get hit right here, dude. I'm going to call it, right? About 10, 5, 10 more foot, you're going to get slobbered. Yeah, look at them boiling. Look at them chasing. It might be on this edge. Dude, look at that. It's casting out my whole dang spool. Look at them go up there. They've been doing it for a good sake. Here we go. Dude, they're... I got one. Dude, they're all... That's a big one. You got one? Dude, there's a whole school of bass on this bank. You're about to get one, you're about to get one. I'm going to get this fish off quick and get back in there because they're throwing there. There's some on this bank, too. Oh, gosh, dang it, dude. Put your dang bait, Castro. Dude, this is a big one. Oh, gosh. That's a three. That's a three McGee right there. That's a three McGee. Look at that thing. These are big ones, too. Look at that. That's a good one. That's almost... Dang, three pounder right there. Guys, they're chasing bait on this bank. If I can get this all flutter, I accidentally snapped off again. Look at that, dude. That's a good fish. That's a big bass. Oh, yeah, that's a big one. Dude, they're all along this bank. They might need to chase. Oh, here he is. He's hitting me. Dude, there's so many. There's so many. You're having a feel, man. I'm having, like... You're just having some bad luck, brother. I'm having some hard times over here. I'm sorry. They've been rigging up baits. Just throw up there, bro. Just throw up there and, hey, don't start reeling it. Just let it sink for a sec. And they're on it. Here he is. What is going on? Dude, mine's a big one. Dude, you can't make this up. Look at that. Watch how quick I'm taking the fish off the hook. Oh, quick releases for days unless we catch a freaking Mondo. There's got to be a big one up here somewhere. I think so. That was a two pounder. I got another swim bait. And then you just have a field day. You know what I mean? You just... You... It's like two fish in a barrel. It just... It seems like the toughest day you had ever. And then all of a sudden, it's just every cast. You know, you just can't... Everybody right now, I know everybody's fishes in the summer.  I want to stop fishing during the fall and the winter. Let me tell you, that can be some of the best fishing ever. You know, that fishing is just insane. That fall winter bite, chasing bait. Oh, man. You can't beat it. Everybody stops fishing. It's just crazy. And I'm just going to keep talking and catching them. This is what you need to go send to your buddy that says, hey, it's too cold to fish. I mean, look at this. You can't... I just want them to come off. I don't want to catch them. Did you have one too? Look at that. I mean, just as fast as I can get the bait in there biting it.


Why are drugs prohibited when someone says why is this weed or why is this marijuana or why is this heroin or this Cocaine or all of these why are they prohibited?  It's hard to get back in the eye on drugs in the Quran Allah said what are you?  Do you know what he wants to do? First thing he wants to do is he wants to bring hate and war between you and others These drug cartels that we saw in the world. How many lost their lives? Escobar Colombian football player not other escobars the Colombian football player Scored an own goal in 1994 welcome. I don't know how many of you remember 1994 World Cup scored an over But then the person lost his life the people involved in that and then that's it One car to another car to this group against this group How many innocent children in Colombia lost their lives because of groups fighting each other over power How many as in when you look at all of these television programs and chapel and everything? Well, the Quran explained these before they come here The Quran said in my you read the shaytan to do what with Intoxicants with gambling. Yes, because the word mason is mentioned I'm not is normally used for gambling. I'm not as part of the mason family You find that shaytan uses these to do what he brings between your adawa and Bahba he brings those who take drugs He enters them into a world of wars because when you start shotting you start shotting on behalf of someone You start dealing on behalf of someone when you're dealing on behalf of someone you either because of your Intellect being covered either there are times where you deliver for that person you make a good amount of wealth Or there are times you think hold on a minute. I've got good money on me here in this car Why don't I do something else and go and sell something without him knowing running away with the family from the family? Before you know it you have two groups who grew up with each other in the same city ready to murder each other When I read sometimes in the north of England in the north you hear sometimes in certain parts of the north of England Muslims non-muslims of getting on Muslim you look at the names of the drug gangs in the north of England You see these names and you're like walla these are names some of them are of prophets of Allah Some of them are watch some of them are of companions of the Holy Prophet peace performance family I look at the list of names this guy Killed this guy this guy burnt this guy's house this guy damaged this guy's car The Quran said you want to know what drugs are You enter the world where shaytan is licking his lips Because now you've entered the world the moment you cannot use your aqa to overpower Shaytan he will start to make adawa and Baba between you hatred and immocity There are some people here in this hall if I was to ask them how many friends did they lose because of drugs? If I was to ask them how many did you lose because of drugs? How many lives got destroyed because how many take out their anger on their parents because of drugs? Because you know sometimes when you enter the world of weeds or whether it's a downer or an upper you always feel the whole world against you Mom, you don't know what I'm on about dad. You don't know what I'm on about none of you understand me anger anger Anger builds up origin of this is rule. Shaytan is the origin Shaytan the Quran says after that verse on drugs Inna maya read who's shaytan and you can have a name come a bug Yes, he wants to bring what he wants to bring this adawa and bugger in using what? filhamri using our Intoxicants when he uses these intoxicants you look at some of the supporters in football matches. Well, the moment he's had one of these Some of them can go to 20 mashallah, but what moment one of them has one of these Gone gone gone that person is what I said now, you know some of the guys who watch football already were crazy Imagine you put that in that person and then what's he gonna do? Southern punch up between two how many football matches have you seen where there are punch-ups between groups of people willing to kick each Other's heads on the ground because of an intoxicant likewise when I see countries like Colombia I see countries like South America where there are lovers of Jesus, son of Mary Catholics. I've lectured in Costa Rica I've lectured in where Mexico City. I've lectured in these places You see some of the most wonderful Christians in the world and each one has a story related to drugs taking one of their brother's life Each one each one these are Allah's children. It doesn't matter if I'm a Muslim and you're a non-Muslim All of us are the children of Allah in the sense that Allah nourishes us once the best for us And what does shaitan do after he's made you fight after he's made gangs After he's made you submissive to a guy on top who answers to a guy on top and answers to a guy on top And none of them is Allah. Then what does he do?  What does block the remembrance of Allah? I mean you begin to forget how lucky you are with the rizq Allah gave you in life You forget many of us are ungrateful.  He gave you the beautiful tongue. He gave you those lips Well, sometimes in some third world countries you see children with a deformity on their face They're born with a deformity.  Dikr Allah suddenly begins to go Even attendants because what is the best dikr of Allah? The dikr of Muhammadan al-Muhammad salawatullahi wa salamu alayhi maa Allahumma salamu mad-dhu'an Allahumma salam Because this is a dikr that we have in Majalat. Suddenly You who used to be there in Muharram, in Shaharam-e-Aman You used to be there in the willada. You used to be there in the shahada All of a sudden you find that your remembrance of Allah on these occasions you start going missing The only reason you turn up to the mosque is no more dikr Allah Notice, Subhanallah, car parks of mosques are sometimes the best place to have a split Because you gotta make sure your parents think you're at mosque So when you make sure your parents think that you're at mosque, where's better?  What greater treasure? Majlis al-Husayn brings it naan to the heart of the human being, and instead you find that these people, sadly, what let breaks your heart? Every car park you go to, look in the corner far away, there's a group of five standing there. And what you're going to say that we don't know the Quran is telling you, Baba Shaytan yasudakum an dhikr Allah, and what's his most important weapon wa'ana s-salah? Because once you start to enter that world, Salah starts being sometimes, maybe, if I'm on it, if I'm ready to do it. I'm not saying these things. Had I said these things, you would say, well, that's your opinion. Allah says that that world of Hamur, Shaytan makes sure that you forget Allah, and you begin to forget Salah. Why does Allah mention you forget Salah? Because if you really appreciate what Salah is and maintain that connection with Allah, you show that you want to be guided, Allah will open the doors of guidance for you. Even if you're someone who's a drug addict or a drug dealer, get down on that premise. Even if you just show Allah the time remembering you in Salah, Allah will open many doors for you. Allah will not leave you like that. Therefore the Quran, what did it say?  Ya Allah, may Allah never show any of our youth what you see with the heroin addict. Heroin addict wakes up in the morning, cannot rest, cannot rest until they know that somebody is waiting for them. Only when they know, and you know to subhan Allah psychologically, sometimes they don't even have to take that heroin, just knowing that they've collected it, they calm down. Which shows that there is that period in the middle which can be worked on. But that heroin addict who we see, that heroin addict cannot rest, you look at them, no more eating or sudden random eating with some drugs, suddenly you're randomly eating, as they say the munchies just randomly eating. And when you see that someone asked the question that this person, Allah opens the door of Maqfira for them. As in someone who's got the needle or someone who's got the foil and they've been doing it 24 seven, that person, Allah keeps the door of Toba open for them or is it held straight away? No, the door of Toba is always open for them. Never. Any of you here who may have dabbled with some substances, part of the problem is be careful it doesn't become a gateway to more destructive substances.


In his article Dissociation in Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Julian Ford wrote the following. If I succeed to find it, here it is. The unique feature of sexual violation symptoms in complex post-traumatic stress disorder is their dissociative quality, sex and physical contact, elicit fragmented and unstable self-representations and relational schemas that are infused with alternately intense and empty effect. Patients, says Julian Ford, describe being unable to reconcile or even live with a split between one, their nurturing self-awareness. Example, I need and deserve physical and psychological privacy, safety, comfort, intimacy and pleasure. So they can reconcile this with their intense disgust or terror in response to thoughts of or desires for touch or sexual contact. So what Julian Ford says is that there's a conflict between self-nurturing telling yourself, you know, I need touch, I need love, I need intimacy, I need to be cared for. I need privacy, I need safety, I need comfort, etc., etc., I need pleasure. So there's a conflict between this and the fact that when they are touched, there is intense disgust or intense terror or extreme anxiety. Julian Ford quotes one of his patients, one of the patients, the patient says, being touched makes me long to be held forever. Then I feel disgusted with myself for being weak and I remember that it's my job to take care of other people and I don't deserve anything that makes me determined to hurt anyone who tries to touch me. Just like they are going to hurt me. My name is Sam Vaknin, I am the author of Malignant Self-Love, Narcissism, visited and former visiting professor of psychology. And today we are going to discuss how sexually abused children grow up, become adults and intimate partners. What does it feel like? What's the experience of being with an intimate partner who has a history of sexual abuse in childhood?  So the reactions to each type of sexual molestation or sexual abuse are very different. Generally speaking, if we have to generalize, then low grades so to speak, sexual offenses against children are likely to produce borderline personality disorder while very extreme violations of the physical integrity of a child are likely to yield dissociative identity disorder, previously known as multiple personality disorder. And of course again, dissociative identity disorder is a whole forest of diagnosis and I would say that in majority of cases we are likely to be faced with OSDD, which is the form of DID, which is very closely aligned with borderline personality disorder. I recommend that you watch the video about BPD and OSDD, a video that I've made here. But let's delve a bit deeper to the experience of being with an intimate partner who has been sexually abused egregiously or not in childhood. And we start by realizing that victims of sexual abuse in childhood dread intimacy. They dread intimacy because they sexualize intimacy. They are afraid of being loved and being cared for because in their minds they have to pay for it. They have a transactional mindset. Love is always conditioned upon sexual services. Being cared for is only a prelude, a foreplay, a prelude to sex. So they misidentify, they conflate intimacy and being loved with pain and boundary-wracking abuse. These are very important observations because it's a very complex multi-layered phenomenon. It's not just triggering. Of course someone who has been sexually abused as a child is likely to be triggered in almost all sexual situations. It's not only about triggering, which is a typical reaction to trauma. It's a post-traumatic reaction. But it's also about much deeper issues of identity, emotions, emotional regulation and so on. For example, the sexual abuse in childhood destroys the child's ability to generate and enforce boundaries. Child cannot separate from usually the parental abuser. Sometimes the abuser is a member of the family or friend or whatever. But in majority of cases these are the parents. So the child cannot separate from the sexual abuser, who is also a parent. A child cannot individuate. And consequently the child cannot set boundaries. So having sex in adulthood is perceived as an unboundary experience. Experience where a suspension of boundaries is a prerequisite and a demand and a requirement. Similarly sex is associated with pain. Sometimes sex in early childhood is painful period. Penetration of a child is likely to inflict serious physical harm and pain. But sometimes the pain is merely psychological. So both psychological and somatopharm or somatic responses are very common in victims of childhood sexual abuse. The pain lingers there. It's like a kind of prolonged grief disorder. It's like mourning one's own body, what one could have become had one not been subjected to such egregious, soul-wracking mistreatment. So victims of childhood sexual abuse, sexualized intimacy, sexualized love, misidentified love and intimacy with pain. And all this is superimposed on the idea I am not allowed to resist. My job is to please. My role is to gratify. So I am having boundaries is evil, is wicked, is bad, is vicious, is malevolent and malicious. And I'm not going to set boundaries. Why? Because I'm a good person. I'm a good person when I gratify someone sexually.  It's a bad object voice inside the victim, which never lets go. It's a kind of inverse or reversed inner critic.  The inner critic says, if you want to be good, you need to be sexually corrupted. If you want to be good, you need to engage in all kinds of practices that are demanded of you. And so you need to suspend yourself. You need to not be if you want to be good. So the victim of sexual abuse, childhood sexual abuse, comes to identify being good with not being at all. A suspension of oneself during the sex act, because the sex is about not being.  Or a teacher or a neighbor. So any sexual partner in the future stands in for these people. He fills in for them. He represents them. So you need to gratify and please and satisfy the sexual partner by not being. Not only by not being you, that's not satisfactory. That's not enough. You need to do all this by not being at all.   They become inert, immobile, frozen and so on and so forth. It's a very common, it's commonly described by spouses and boyfriends and girlfriends of people who are intimate partners who have had sexual abuse in childhood. In short, it's a freeze response. Sex becomes an anxiety reaction or a stress response. And the strategies used by these children who have been abused sexually. Strategies are implemented in late childhood adolescence and go way into adulthood. And these are the strategies. Number one, self-objectification. I'm just an object. You can do to me as you please and you can do with me as you please. I'm just going to lay there and let you do to me whatever you wish.  Most common of these mechanisms is known as depersonalization. The victim of childhood sexual abuse. Absents herself and her persona. She's no longer there. She's going into either an internal space or into deep space, an external space. She disappears and this is known as depersonalization. It's as if she's telling herself, that's not me there. The things that are being done to this object are not being done to me because I am not here.  I'm not here. I'm gone. I'm gone inwardly into my mind or I'm gone outwardly, very similar to a drug trip or an LSD trip or something. So the absenting oneself from the sex and intimacy are a major instrument of dissociation, depersonalization. The second strategy is known as derealization. The victim of childhood sexual abuse who finds herself or himself in a sexual situation begins to regard the whole situation as unreal. It's as if it were a movie or a theater play or something she observes.  So it's as if they split the world. They split the world and they become mere, polite, uninterested observers. They observe the proceedings.  And all the time it doesn't feel really, doesn't feel as if it's happening. So depersonalization is a mechanism that says it's happening, but it's not happening to me because I'm not here. Derealization is a mechanism that says it's happening, but it's happening in a theater play, in a movie, in a production of some kind. It's not real. So because it's not real, it's not really happening and it's not because it's not really happening. It's of course is not happening to me. And of course the third mechanism, if all else fails, is amnesia. So people with borderline personality disorder and of course people with dissociative identity disorder lose time. They just lose time. They forget. They can't recall either the details of events or even the occurrence of events. They don't remember. They wipe off whole swathes of memory. And then they later try to make up for it by confabulating. That's a different video. But it's also a defense mechanism against the intolerable proximity of sex, sexuality, intimacy and potentially love emotions.  They're terrified when they're exposed to intimacy, someone falling in love with them, offering love and care, compassion, attention, affection, someone initiating sex. They just freeze. The next strategy adopted by these victims is self punitive choices. They self harm by sexually self-trushing. They let themselves behave in ways which are very humiliating and degrading.  So these are self punitive choices. And the aim of the self punitive choices is to restore the good object. It's as if the victim of childhood sexual abuse says to herself, I'm a bad object. I'm an unworthy object. I've been defiled and degraded by the people who were supposed to love me because I'm not lovable. I'm a bad object and bad people, bad objects need to be punished. They need to be penalized. They need to learn a lesson. They need to be put in their place. They need to suffer. They need to harm, to go through harm. So I'm going to punish this bad object that is me. And I'm going to punish this bad object that is me by engaging in very degrading and defiling and horrific and sadistic sex.  I'm opposed to my bedside. I'm opposed to my bed object. I'm punishing. I'm self punitive. I'm punishing my bed object. And since I am the one who is punishing the bad object, it must mean that I'm a good object. In short, splitting. The main defense mechanism of victims of sexual abuse, childhood sexual abuse, when they come across an intimate partner who loves them, wants to be intimate with them, and of course engages in sex, the main defense mechanism is splitting. The victim splits herself to all good and all good part and an all bad part. And the role of the all good part is to subdue, subjugate, penalize, destroy, demean, debase, defile, degrade the bad part. Thus restoring virtue. Thus restoring morality and good citizenship if you wish. It is a civil war. The victim of childhood sexual abuse whenever she has sex, whenever she's exposed to intimacy and love, she's in a state of civil war between her good side, the good object, and her bedside, the bad object, split as it is, self splitting. And an all out war erupts, which is very visible. It resembles very much switching in DID or switching in borderline personality disorder. Partners of victims of childhood sexual abuse report that during sex there's a lot of sudden aggression. Incredible ups and downs, crazy making behavior, freezing, fearful reactions, extreme anxiety which cannot be quieted, terror on the other hand extreme self trashing and total gratification of the partner's wishes, fantasies and dreams. Ability to engage in totally impersonal sex and objectifying sex, self harming, self trashing and so on. So this is the experience of loving someone who has been the victim of sexual abuse in childhood.  They're all going to be met with dread, anxiety, evasion, or submission, but extreme submission, submission to the point of saying, look, do to me whatever you want because I'm not here. I'm just not here. And this is not real. This is not happening. And I'm going to forget all about it anyhow. So I'm going to upset myself. I'm going to leave my body here. I'm gone. I'm going to leave my body here. Use it as you see fit. And when you finish, let me know and I'll reclaim my body. It's more or less the experience. So I would be interested to hear your reactions to this video in the comments section. And if you have noticed or come across any additional features of intimate relationships with victims of childhood sexual abuse, please feel free to share. It's a very painful experience because everything that is supposed to create a healthy, ongoing, loving intimate relationship actually provokes the victim of childhood sexual abuse into a spiral, a downward spiral that she cannot control and she drags the intimate partner with her. The more the intimate partner tries to love her, to compensate for her fear of intimacy, to hold her, to contain her, to reassure her, the more the victim of childhood sexual abuse panics, hates him, rejects him. It is a kind, it is very similar to the twin anxieties in borderline personality disorder. Approach, avoidance, repetition compulsion, abandonment anxiety, separation insecurity versus enmeshment and engulfment anxiety. So it's a bit of a mirror or BPD and it is therefore not surprising that in the etiopatology, in the etiology, in the causation, in the reasons for borderline personality disorder, when we interview borderline personality disorder patients and we ask them about their childhood and so on, we find an inordinate proportion, an inordinate percentage of people who have had sexually abusive experiences in childhood. Borderline personality disorder is intimately linked with early childhood abuse, especially sexual.  In early childhood, so there is causation, there's a direct line connecting these experiences in childhood and the unfortunate pathological outcomes. However, regrettably, the person who pays for all this is usually the intimate partner. He ends up paying, he ends up paying the Bible, he ends up, you know, suffering. Because to overcome these defenses against intimacy and love associated with pain and vulnerability and boundary breaking, to overcome these, you need to really be a tuned patient and to work nonstop towards somehow convincing the borderline or the dissociated DID. A patient convincing her that your love is going to be different, your intimacy is not going to be the same. You're going to offer her a variant of variety of love and intimacy and caring and affection and compassion and holding and containment and support and sacro and everything. You're going to offer her all this unconditionally. It's not, you have to convince her that it doesn't necessarily have to do with gratifying you sexually. That means sometimes abstaining from sex for a very long time and few intimate partners are willing to do this. So this is the price one has to pay in order to, you know, love a victim of childhood sexual abuse. The scars are forever. The damage is permanent. The trauma is all pervasive. The coping strategies are dysfunctional. The hurt, the pain, the fear dominate and dictate and drive the victim forward. Actually, not forward, but away from her intimate partner.


In this module, we shall actually start looking into Islamic credit cards. Islamic credit cards have been issued and offered by quite a number of Islamic banks in the Middle East and in the Far East, especially in Malaysia and of course in other parts of the world as well where Islamic banking is prevalent. In case of Pakistan, Islamic banks and conventional banks offering Islamic banking services through Islamic windows decided not to offer Islamic credit cards for a variety of reasons. But one primary reason that the Sharia scholars in this country did not like the idea of an Islamic credit card. It is only off late that two banks have started offering Islamic credit cards and these two banks are Standard Chartered Saadik and Basil Bank. The five fully fledged Islamic banks in this country have yet to offer an Islamic credit card. Let's see when that happens. But before that, I must say that an Islamic credit card works more or less the same way as a conventional credit card, of course with some important differences. And this applies not only to Islamic credit cards, this applies to Islamic mortgages, other Islamic personal finance facilities and so on. So there are similarities and there are differences. In case of an Islamic credit card, a credit limit is generated through a mechanism and that mechanism is based on Tawarru. So what happens when a customer applies for a credit card and if the application is accepted by the card provider based on a number of factors, but primarily based on the credit worthiness of the customer, then an arrangement is agreed between the two parties i.e. the card provider and the prospective card holder to generate a credit limit. This in many cases is done with the help of Tawarru. Tawarru is an arrangement is an Islamic mode of financing which we have already discussed and explained. At that time, I mentioned that a lot of people are not happy with the way Tawarru works or commodity Muraabha works. However, its applications in Islamic banking and finance are many and one of this application is the application of Tawarru in the context of Islamic credit cards, whereby Tawarru is used as a mechanism to generate that credit limit. When you apply a card provider, it tells you that you do not spend more than 1 lakh rupees, this is your limit. To generate that limit, Islamic banks and the customer would enter into a Tawarru based arrangement. What is that? The bank would buy a commodity for say 100,000 dirhams on a spot basis and would sell that commodity to the customer for a profit, 120,000 dirhams for example on a deferred payment basis. The customer would sell that commodity to another commodity broker for the spot price of 100,000 dirhams. These 100,000 dirhams received from the commodity broker too would be put into an account with the bank in the name of the customer. That would be the credit card account of the customer. That would be actually the credit limit or credit facility offered by the bank. Now this 20,000 which is the murabha price, that could be actually set as the annual fee of the Islamic credit card. So if you have taken a credit card of 1,00,000 dirhams, then you may have to pay 20,000 dirhams in the form of a card fee for one year. Of course this is a hypothetical example. This fee could be a lot lower than what I am mentioning over here. I am using this 20,000 annual fee figure just to give you an alarm. Otherwise this may not be the actual practice by Islamic banks. So to summarize 1,000 dirhams they become the credit facility and 20,000 dirhams they become the card fee. Annual card fee which could be about 1,666.66 on a monthly basis. This fee can be waived off by the card provider depending on the usage, depending on the circumstances and of course depending on some other factors as well. In the beginning even conventional credit cards they would charge an annual fee. But with the increase in competition in the credit card market now annual fee is not charged by many credit card providers especially in the west. But we find that in some emerging markets or developing countries where credit cards are new the card providers may be charging an annual fee or a monthly fee or some cases they give it a different name. So Islamic credit cards they actually depend very crucially on this fee. In practice they may be able to waive off this fee for quite a number of their card holders.


But it doesn't matter, it's close enough. Both male and female have this and it has the exact same amount of nerve endings on both sexes. Nipples done. Nipples. What do you have? You made it.

Oh double? It's 4,000. Yeah.  So there's more. So my orgasm is better than your orgasm. That's what I was wondering. But it's hard for us to feel it. It's really hard, you know? No, it's the same. Draw where the G-spot is. I just did it, I just did it, I just did it. I just did it. She's laying down. What's behind? This is her opening.  She's laying down sideways. All right guys?

If a student is looking for ways to incorporate creative expression into their coursework, or if they enjoy design and having artistic control over their work, Arts, Innovation, and Design Exploration is a great choice. Arts, Innovation, and Design Exploration can help students discover how creativity manifests itself through a variety of majors and fields. Students participate and are exposed to performance and production of various art forms as well as theory, history, and impact of art on society. This field is a great fit for students who want to create and also for those who enjoy and value the impact of art and design. Arts, Innovation, and Design includes majors such as arts management, studio art disciplines, architecture, design, theater, music, dance, and fashion and retail studies. Consider starting here if you enjoy design and having artistic control over your work, you love art and artistic expression but are concerned about choosing an art major due to career outcomes, or you've been denied admission to a competitive arts major. Some majors within Arts, Innovation, and Design do have specific prerequisite courses that need to be taken in the first semester. So after consultation with an advisor, a student might take prerequisites for admission to competitive majors or a combination of math, visual art, writing, and social science courses.


Welcome to today's class really excited to have you guys logging on This is really one of my all-time favorite haircuts I'm gonna share with you guys today as well so the outcomes pretty cool So right below Prattle Ridge draw u-shape section separate top and bottom Then I go in and I separate front and back using a nice little square section here right behind the ear Following that hairline down now. I'm gonna mimic and do the same thing on the opposite side I use a braid just to keep everything nice and tight and out of the way So we'll go right here vertical section down that hairline You can see right here is our line down the hairline comb all that hair into the back And then comb this hair nice and tight and then braid it This is the most you'll ever see me with my updo skills. I am a three strand braid. What is the word? I'm looking for I'm not good at I'm not good at braiding or words We've got that u-shape section and then we got our front and back section away And then the last thing we're gonna do is we're gonna start sectioning back Which is gonna be a vertical line straight down center back vertical straight down center back I've got my spray bottle right here go down Comb this hair over so I got a vertical line straight down center back Then the last thing I'm gonna do is I'm gonna draw a slight diagonal forward line from occipital bone down to behind the ear And I'll comb this hair over nice and tight I'm gonna use it soon so I don't need to like twist it up I'll just clip it out of the way nice and tight and do the same thing on the opposite side Cipital bone down to behind the ear. I'll check for balance nice and tight Clip it away there is my section straight down center back simple bone over got this hair down here You got the hair above this is what we're gonna cut our concave layers into and then we're gonna go convex pretty much all the way up from That point how do we cut these concave layers?  Is that the length that I want to then move forward to start my convex layering from think that that's a good length I'm gonna stick with that and now I'm going to take vertical section right next to that one now How do we cut square in the back or a balance line? I like to call it I like to bring that old previous section halfway to the new section comb it halfway there out and then shift My hand up and I work short the long Go through and we can check pulling these both back both these corners back and just make sure that they are balanced up And also check horizontally just like this Now we can move to these two sections up here I'm gonna grab my clip out vertical section here and all I need is the top side of that concave layer Bring this straight back. There's my guide and I'm gonna cut So now same thing vertical sections and everything straight back pulling my guide from the middle The other thing I didn't really emphasize emphasize so much was the fact that my Sectioning really allows me to do this haircut because if I didn't section at the hairline here at this point If I went into this hair at all and brought that hair back and cut it that short I would have a much shorter kind of hole that would happen right here in the haircut I'm gonna lay it take it out comb it forward and we're gonna break this up into four sections for quadrants top That this side away And really what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna split these into now I'll comb it towards me and I'm gonna split it at the high point of the head right here And this is really just so I'm not working with so much hair in my hands There is another subsection. So grab this hair in my hands. I'm going to take a vertical parting through I'm gonna bring this hair straight up and I'm gonna connect it to this back point back layer I'm going to do that starting by over directing it back And then rounding it off adding a convex layer through and then we're going to draw a convex line around here All right, so same thing on the opposite side and then we will start to blow dry and then I'll do my dry detail work Before we finish so split this at the high point same way as we did before comb the rest of this hair forward Let's pretend.  Here's getting dry Rounded in the head right up parallel to the floor It's going to be longer than the back I'm not worried about the perimeter length right now because I'm gonna cut into the perimeter length all over this cut This is also a great shag type cut the way that we did the top to have a versatile fringe Something nice and light that would kind of part in the middle match up with current styles of today But also you could go back and forth with it as well So we're gonna blow it dry smooth it out and then we'll start our cut Things I'm gonna do I'm gonna put in a fringe I'm gonna do a nice straight fringe across the front right here So the way that I'm gonna do that is I'm going to lift up the hair into my comb And you just really want to comb the hair kind of where it's gonna fall And then you can stamp it in across lift the hair up And then I can decide I put it in the wide teeth of my comb And I can kind of decide exactly where I want that fringe to be I'm gonna keep it out of her eyes so the internet doesn't get mad I'm gonna work my way across I'm just using the tip of the scissor I'm slightly lifting this section up but not elevating it too high So I don't want to cut it flat to the head I also don't want to cut it elevated too much either Starts the fringe and you work in my way over And then as I start to drop it I'll just continue cutting a little bit Helps out with my line Now what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna cut into some of these layers In the back that convex shape you can see it all kind of pops I'm gonna bring and take out just some of that weight right in this interior area Right in here I'll just come in point cut through it out There's my line and I'm just gonna soften it I don't want to change it I just want to soften it I'm going to grab my tri razor I'm just gonna pinch cut some of this Pinch and cut and you could always you know fine tune it with a Scissor if you want to or you could cut it with a scissor I just like the idea of being able to kind of come in and just pinch and cut All right guys thank you very much hope you guys enjoyed the class I will see you guys


We are committed to multilateralism to also extend beyond our borders. The South China Sea, the Korean Peninsula, the Myanmar issue remain hotspots that can destabilize the region. Therefore, I encourage peaceful resolutions to every dispute and seek cooperation rather than disloyalty competition. I believe that our projection will benefit no one, and hence all parties must exercise self-restraint to prevent miscalculation and escalation. I am delighted to note that ASEAN and Japan have recently established the ASEAN-Japan Comprehensive Strategic Partnership. On the 50th year of ASEAN, Japan Friendship and Cooperation also will be held in Japan between 16 and 18 December 2023 to mark this milestone.


Do you know one in hundred children has got autism? I'm Dr. Pallavi Joshi, I'm a consultant psychiatrist with Manipal Vathur. Let us discuss about autism today.  And what we see typically the three areas. One, where difficulty in communication in some form exist, difficulty in social interaction exist. And third, there are repetitive and restricted patterns of interest as well as behavior. So what we typically say when we talk about early signs of autism, commonest is when the baby is, you know, three months old, the eye contact is something which is really strong. Okay, it gets established around two to two and a half months and it gets stronger, particularly with attachment figures. So eye contact is a very important sign when it comes to autism. It is poor, it could be absent. One, second thing, you know, when the baby is small, you must have noticed if you have handled the baby, you know, they have the anticipatory posture, please hold me, please take me. So that is absent in autism. Third thing, what we definitely say, you know, the science of affection. Okay, so when the parent comes in, usually the child smiles, okay? Or they have the ways of showing affection, they cuddle, they just rub their cheek against you. So they have their methods of expressing love and affection that could be absent. Now these are very early signs, what we typically say. As the baby grows, as the child grows, what typically we see the language development is delayed in most of the cases. Okay, so speech development is delayed. There is a difficulty in normal communication or there is a difference in the communication, what we typically say, you know, they try to communicate in different way, not in so normal ways, what we typically understand. So, and what else happens in addition to speech delay? There could be pronomial reversal. So if you ask, what are you doing? You is doing this. So you know, they are not able to change the pronomial reversal in that case. Now when it comes to interactions, what we say autism in other language, so what is that? They are just engulfed in themselves. So interaction with others is quite less. What else happens to these children? They engage in self-stimulatory behaviors. Most of the parents who have seen autism kids who are dealing with autism kids, they see, they will do some self-stimulatory behaviors, repetitive same action, repetitively doing the same thing. Now these children, they are very prone for anxiety. So what happens? Little disruption in their routine. There could be temperamental issue. They may throw a very bad temper tantrum. What else happens? Irritation, getting irritated for petty reasons that could be there. And what else happens in addition to these features? Okay. There is a heightened stimulation, heightened sensitivity to certain stimuli. So for sound, for something, they might get irritated very easily. Whereas to pain, we have seen cases. We know where ruptured appendicitis are happened and the child didn't complain of pain in autism. So what happens? There could be less sensitivity to some stimuli. Okay. So these are few features. Now in addition to that, many autistic children have comorbid issue. Almost 70% of them have comorbid mental retardation. They also have learning disability. They might have depression and anxiety issues which are also unaddressed sometimes. And many have, as you know, the development of brain, as we told in definition, is little different. They might have even seizures, defeats. So these are some early signs of autism. But what we typically say, you know, in few cases, what I would like to add, a child may develop normally till 18 months. Okay. Or 9 months. And there could be loss of milestones. So we have cases where the child was having eye contact earlier, with the child was talking earlier. But after 18 months, after 20 months, there could be reversal. So the milestone may get reverted to whatever we say, regression. They might not be able to do the activities what they were doing earlier. Most important is genetics. So there are some 4 to 5 chromosomes which are identified, which have some genetic loci, which may cause autism. Also, Fragilex syndrome, tuberous sclerosis, these are some genetic conditions where the child is more prone for autism. So one, genetics. Genetics are important when we talk about causation of autism. So there are some 4 to 5 genes which are implicated, where some genetic loci are there, which are implicated in autism. One point. There also, you know, Fragilex and tuberous sclerosis. These are known medical conditions, which make a child more prone for autism. One point. Second, what we say, advanced maternal and paternal age. That is also one of the independent risk factor for autism. Most of these autistic children, when they were taken for some studies, they found to have high plasma levels of serotonin. So that's also one of the cause indicated, which may lead to autism. Some of the factors, you know, which are less known, what we have still not understood. Maternal infections. If the mother has some infection like rubella, cytomegalovirus, that increases the risk of having autism in the kid. Perinatal complications. Having bleeding while a mother is pregnant. Or a child is having birth trauma, asphyxia, that can also increase the risk of having autism. Having a sibling. If you have a sibling who has autism, it is multi-fold risk again for the second child to have autism. Treatment is mainly supportive. We don't have curative treatment for many illnesses in medicine. Autism is one of that. But definitely the supportive treatment can be offered and should be offered to each and every kid. The mainstay of the treatment is not medicine. Medicines we give, although we are doctors, only for supportive management. So if the kid is having aggression, we have medicines for it, for controlling the aggression. Kid is having ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity. We have medicines for it. Anxiety, we have wonderful medicines for self-stimulatory behavior. We have effective medicines. We also have medicines for seizures. But when you talk about the mainstay treatment for autism, we don't have medicines for curing it. But therapy is highly recommended for each and every autism kid. And how it helps? We say typically each and every autistic kid, no matter what the severity of autism is, has the potential to improve. No doubt about that. So therapy helps each and every autism kid. So it should be initiated as early as possible. Once the diagnosis is done, it has to be started. So we have role of different specialists in managing, psychiatrist, developmental neurologist, psychologist for taking therapy sessions, OT, occupational therapist for development of some social skills which are really required for integration in society, as well as role of shadow teacher, special educators. Now what is the aim of the therapy? One is the speech development should happen. So speech therapy should also be there in all these things. Secondly, social interaction should get better because for every parent, what is the goal? They want a child should lead an independent and happy life. So for that also social interaction needs to be better. Also with special educator, many children are able to complete their education in structured classroom coaching, in normal coaching. So that is also something what we look forward. And a child should develop meaningful relationships in future and should lead an independent life. This is the goal of therapy. What else? Nutritional help we take. Most of these children have leaky gut syndrome. So what is that? They have constipation. They have a lot of digestion issues. So help of nutritionist is really recommended. And simple, simple changes they sometimes just tell you like introducing ghee or having casein-free or gluten-free diet and it could be helpful for many people. What I would like to really talk about is parents. And we typically say each child, each autistic child if has got something special is a parent who is refusing to give up on that kid. So this is very important. When being parents, you know, sometimes it's very exhausting for most of the parents. When they are taking the charge of the kid and they are investing lot of time in development of the kid. So what we typically say, please have support group. And how it's helpful when you want to take, you know, break the support group can support the kid look after the kid for some period of time. They go for holidays together. They discuss the recent developments of treatment together. Okay, so which is very useful. The socialization which, you know, the similar concept, the similar pain, the similar agenda is very useful for most of the parents.
