Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we will discuss the following question and the question says, the product of two numbers is 1057875. If one of the numbers is 325, find the other number. Let's start the solution now. We have given the product of two numbers is 1057875, which under Indian System of Numeration is equal to 10,57,875. Now one of the numbers is equal to 325. We have to find the other number. Now the other number is given by dividing the product of two numbers that is 10,57,875 divided by one of the numbers that is 325. So we now divide 1057875 by 325. Now 325 3 times is equal to 975. Subtracting we get 82. We bring down 8. Now 325 2 times is 650. Subtracting these two terms we get 178. We bring down 7. Now 325 5 times is equal to 1625. Subtracting we get 162. We bring down 5. Now 325 5 times is equal to 1625. Subtracting we get the remainder as 0. So the required number is 3255. So the final answer is 3255. With this we end our session. Hope you enjoyed the session.


Hello. My name's Russell Belfer. I work at GitHub on LibGit2. And a couple of folks have asked to hear a little bit more just about the state of LibGit2, because some of you may be aware that we are actually not at a 1.0 release yet. So the question that I've probably gotten the most during this conference has been, when will core Git be rewritten on top of LibGit2? And the answer to that, in case there's any question, is never. We serve different masters, right? Everything that Vincent talked about when he was speaking is all the things that core Git does that make it not so useful in a server setting are actually good things for it to be doing, right? There it helps it run quickly. They solve the problem in as efficient way as possible for executing a particular command. And that's what they should be doing. And so there's some hope that at the future we may share code modules. For example, if there's a fantastic merge engine or a fantastic file similarity detection or whatever it might be, then we may share some code. But they are independent projects. And you should not be thinking of them as somehow while one will replace the other. So if you hang on just a moment. There we go. So what is the state of LibGit2? So LibGit2 is very close to a 1.0 release. Anything that you want to do, typically with a Git repository locally, you can probably do almost anything. You can read and write objects. You can create trees, commits. You can manipulate the index. Essentially, anything that you would do with references, objects, configuration settings should all be available to you. We support fetch and push over HTTP and Git with SSH. There's a SSH pull request that's probably ready to be merged in the next couple weeks or so, which should give us fairly good network support. On Windows, we support Win HTTP. So it's nicely integrated with the rest of the system. A pretty good experience. We support diff status with ignores and CRLF filtering, rename detection, a pretty wide range of things there. History walking, ref logs, branching, rev bars, check out. Provided there are no conflicts. Stash, notes, sub modules, all of the access to the object database to references and to configurations actually support pluggable storage backends. So out of the box, LibGit2 ships with your traditional file system backends for dealing with Git repositories, as you know and use all the time. But you can actually create your own back end objects to store those however you want to. And there's some experimentation with some alternatives there. It also supports nicely configurable caching. So you can say, oh, I'd like to keep cache trees and memory. So as you do have these long live processes, you can make some intelligent decisions about what you'd like to save in memory so that things can be more efficient in the long run. So no, I actually just have notes. So sorry, I could put this up in a state of LibGit2 document in the LibGit2 repo. But right now, I'm sorry, I just have notes. Sorry, this is a little last minute. So I guess the flip side of what LibGit2 can do is what can't it do, what's missing. So probably the biggest thing that's missing is we do not have a merge engine that is complete. There is merge in progress. Some beginning parts of it have been merged. And then there's other stuff that's on the way, but it is not done. And as a result, you can't really do pull because we don't have a good way of merging in things when you pull. We also don't have blame right now. That's also work in progress. This is, in case it's not incredibly obvious to everyone, LibGit2 is, there we go. In case it's not obvious to everyone, LibGit2 is fully open source. So you can actually just go on to GitHub, LibGit2 organization, LibGit2 project, and see all the pull requests in progress. Comment on them. Say, I don't like the way this API is designed. And we actually care. There are some things that are some other small things that are still missing. Our status doesn't currently support rename detection in status. That's probably on the way. There's lots of little things. Diff doesn't support word diff or function context. You can't do recursive clones right now. Some ref manipulation doesn't automatically write ref logs. And there's a bunch of things that you would have to potentially do manually if you were looking at logs or things like that. But it's pretty good. There are a few known bugs, although they're pretty small. A lot of, if you're running on case and sensitive file systems, or particularly if you're running on case and sensitive but case preserving file systems, that is evil. And well, not evil. It's very convenient, but it is not so convenient for Git. And then on Windows, there's still some oddities with sim links and things like that. But for the most part, it is pretty good. And I'll actually talk later about ways that you can help with those very things. So Libgit 2 runs on a lot of platforms, right?  Most of the operations across this platform, many of the operations are thread safe. That is not everything, but we've certainly concentrated on access to the objects. And so you can have multiple threads that are at least looking up and reading the data in the repository. And that seems to work pretty well across threads. Again, we'll probably get better over time, but mostly through you all using it and writing your own Git applications. So bindings, most people don't write C, apparently. I don't know why, but. And so there are bindings in a lot of different languages. Libgit 2 Sharp is probably the most advanced of the bindings right now. It covers almost 100% of the functionality that is in Libgit 2. And it is a very idiomatic binding. So if you are a C Sharp fan, it should feel very natural. Rugged is the Ruby binding. It is further behind, but it is actually, well, Rugged and Objective Git, which is the Objective C binding, and Pygit 2, which is the Python binding. Those three, none of them are complete bindings, but actually they're all fairly active. And a lot of the work that they've been doing recently have driven API changes in the underlying library to make it actually easier for them to provide idiomatic support for Accessing Git that's natural to users of that language. In particular, I think that there's a couple of the Pygit 2 folks who are here. I think that Pygit has been doing a lot of work on trying to become more idiomatic so that it feels more natural to the language users. So the last thing, really, that I have to say is if you're interested in Libgit 2 and you'd like to get involved, it is a fairly easy project to get involved with. Because you can access it from so many languages, if you're interested in looking at Git data, manipulating Git data, you can probably pull down a binding in your language of choice and just start playing around. And to the extent that you do that and are willing to contribute back sample code, here's a little experiment that I did in this thing, that's amazing for us. Because that is how people use the library and learn to have fun with their Git repositories. And so anything that you do that you're willing to share is helpful. You're also certainly welcome to open issues, because I think it is still a young library and you will find them, and we like that. You're also very welcome to open PRs. Pull requests, Libgit 2 is a very, very typical open source project. We have, in any given month, we're likely to have 15 to 20 contributors. Lots of people will just fork it, open PRs, and the team. We really try to make a lot of effort to be very supportive. So it's a pretty easy project to get involved in. Actually, if you look at our readme, there's a section on good starter projects, if you want to start playing around with things. And I think most of the binding teams are also very receptive to people who want to come in and start finding small ways that they can enhance things or play around with it. So I don't know. If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them. Sure. I noticed that you just, a few weeks ago, actually cut a release. We did. Which release? Yeah. Cutting milestones going forward. Yeah, so we had been on a pretty good track. And these things happen. So we were shooting for a release, basically last October as the Microsoft folks started getting more involved. And we started getting actually a little bit more ambitious, because the team of folks who were actively working in the library grew. We're like, oh, well, we'll shoot for a 1.0 release by the end of the year. These things happen anyhow. So we did just cut the 0.18 release. I think we are going to make an effort to do more frequent releases. We had been doing pretty well on every three to four months doing releases prior to that. And so hopefully we'll be at least back on that track if not more frequent. Our big thing has been, and as you may have noticed, if you looked at the differences between the last two releases, is we've tried to get all of the breaking API changes in now so that we can actually get to a 1.0 release where we won't break the API. And so that's been actually one of the big challenges for the project over the last six months as we've been kind of pushing in many breaking API changes. Hopefully it is resulting in a more consistent and standard API. So it should get us to a good place. But we welcome your free to open issues and say, you guys suck, please stop doing that. Or actually the release that did happen, I don't know if you followed it, but it was actually largely driven over an issue that was opened. I think by the PyGet folks just saying, hey, come on, it's time for a release. But it's fine. We're totally happy to have that. We had a little back and forth discussion. And ultimately tried to understand why having that particular tag was important and pushed it out. Anything else? OK, thanks for your time.


Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim, in the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, respected viewers. As-salamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh. May the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you. Welcome to the 18th episode of the Treaties of Rights series. Today we will discuss the right of the caller to prayer.  Therefore, thank him for that, just as you thank one who does some good to you. And if you are upset with him at home due to this, you should not accuse him for this since his act is for God, and you should know that he is the one of the blessings of God for you. There is no doubt about that. Then you should kindly treat God's blessing by praising God for him under all circumstances, and there is no power but in God. Calling to prayer is probably the most sacred job or duty anyone can possess. They remind us of what are most important, what we were born to do, and our duties towards Allah SWT. Now this individual who calls us to prayer, don't they have rights incumbent upon us? Obviously they do, and that is for the following reasons. The first reason is that he is the one who reminds us of our Lord. The second reason is that he is the one who unites us to get the benefits that we can derive from praying. And finally, the third reason being that he is our best assistant in fulfilling a mandatory duty. Therefore we must thank him in such a way that we thank one who does good to us. If we are upset with him, we should not accuse him since his act is for the sake of God. We should know that he is one of God's blessings. We should treat him with kindness and be grateful to him. Materialistic forces draw us away from God.  He helps save us from indulging in materialistic pleasures. He assists us towards performing the prayer that helps us prosper. A high value has been recorded for the one who calls to prayer in his traditions and books and on Islamic jurisprudence. Few have been promised the rewards that those who call the people to prayer have been promised. What does the adhan mean? Does it have a specific meaning? And is it mentioned in the Holy Quran? What is the history behind adhan? And what does the jurisprudence say regarding this matter? Adhan in Arabic means announcement, considering the following verse. And an announcement from God and it's a possible. The Holy Quran al-Tobah chapter 9 verse 3. The caller to prayer loudly announces that it is time to pray. We read in the following verse, but a cryer shall proclaim between them. The Holy Quran al-Arav chapter 7 verse 44. The decree to call for prayers was revealed in the first year of the immigration of the noble prophet to Medina. Other dates are also recorded. The need for it became apparent when the number of Muslims became so many that it was hard for them all to know when to pray. They talked to each other and decided to establish a sign indicating that it is time to pray. Some just, some suggested to ring a bell, but the prophet did not agree since this was a Christian practice. Some suggested the use of a horn, but the prophet did not agree since this was a Jewish practice. Some suggested playing on the tambourine, but the prophet said that this was a Roman practice. Others suggested using fire, but the prophet said this was a practice of the Maganians. Some suggested raising a flag, but the prophet did not say anything. Therefore, they did not settle on anything specific. Gabriel descended when the prophet was in Ali's house and revealed the decree for the call to prayer. Tadduq narrated in Menleh al-Faqih, Mansoor ibn Hazim, quoted on the authority of Maaman al-Sadaq, peace and blessings be upon him. Gabriel descended to the prophet of God, peace and blessings be upon him, in scripture and progeny, when he was sleeping in Ali's house. Gabriel recited the Adhan and the Iqamah. Then the prophet said, oh Ali, did you hear that? He said, oh prophet of God, yes. Then the prophet said, did you memorize it? Imam Ali, peace be upon him, said, yes. Then the prophet said, then teach it to Bilal. Then Ali taught it to Bilal. It is recommended for men and women to say the Adhan and Iqamah before they pray. It has been quoted on the authority of Al-Mashur, as quoted by many others, that it is recommended to say the Adhan and Iqamah. It is quoted in the books of Al-Jumal and its commentary. Al-Muqna, al-Nahayats, al-Mabsoot, al-Wasila, al-Mufidah, al-Nisa, that is mandatory for men to say the Adhan and Iqamah and congregational prayers. With that said, there are several instances where it doesn't have to be read. The first instance is for the afternoon Friday prayer. Once it is said, write either the noon prayer or the Friday prayer. The second instance is for the afternoon prayer on the day of Arafah. If it is said right after the noon prayer. The third instance is for the night prayer on the day of the celebration of the sacrifice. If it is said right after the evening prayer. The fourth instance is during the afternoon prayer or the night prayer of a mustahada woman, who must say them right after the noon or evening prayer. The last and fifth instance is during the afternoon or the night prayer of one who cannot control his urination or bowel movement. In the instances mentioned earlier, there is no need to say the Adhan if the prayers are said right one after the other or shortly thereafter. Certain conditions have been stated by the jurisprudence for the Adhan and Iqamah. Time for a quick break. We will explain these conditions when we come back. Stay tuned. First, one must have the intention to say the Adhan or an Iqamah from the start to the end. Therefore, if one says them without intending to approach God, it is not accepted of him. Secondly, the one who says the Adhan and the Iqamah must have faith. However, it is not required for the one who says the call to prayer to be mature, especially when it is used an announcement. However, all the jurisprudence require that the one who says the call to prayer as an announcement should be a man. It is also required that the one who says the call to prayer for man should be a man. Thirdly, Adhan and Iqamah must be said in order. Fourthly, there must be proper continuity of expression in between the parts of the Adhan. Finally, the call to prayer should be said using correct Arabic. With that said, there are also instances where jurisprudence have recommended the Adhan to be read. Firstly, when a child is born, it is good to say the Adhan in his right ear and the Iqamah in his left ear. Secondly, it is recommended to say the Adhan in the ear of one who has not had any meat for 40 days. Now, as us, Shi'a has stressed the importance of Adhan and Iqamah and view it as highly recommended. Some jurisprudence even consider them to be mandatory for men in congregational prayers. As for Sunnis jurisprudence, Malik and Abu Hanifa agree with the Shi'a and say that Adhan and Iqamah are good in all prayers, whether at home or on a trip, whether set in person or in congregation. They consider that there are no cases in which it is mandatory to say the Adhan or Iqamah. However, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, as well as the Shafi'a and Malikiyah have said that the Adhan and the Iqamah are mandatory as much as necessary. So we can see that there is a difference between Sunnis and themselves. Ma'amur-udha peace and blessings be upon him has a beautiful philosophy behind Adhan, the late Sadduq Quran, the authority of Ma'amur-udha peace be upon him. In fact, the people were ordered to say the call to prayer for many reasons among which we can mention to remind those who might have forgotten to pray, to awaken their ignorant ones, to recognize those who are ignorant when it is time to pray. The one who calls to prayer invites the people to worship God through his call to prayer. He makes the people more inclined to pray and confessed to the unity of God. He publicizes his own faith and submission and reminds those who have forgotten. The one who calls to prayer starts by glorifying God and ends by testifying to his unity. Each part is repeated twice in order to affect the person who hears it. If he does not notice it the first time, he will recognize it the second time it is recited. Since the testifying to the unity of God and the prophet of Muhammad are the foundations of our faith, they are repeated twice. Thus, when one testifies twice to the unity of God and the prophethood of Muhammad, he has wholeheartedly testified to all the pillars of faith. The next part of the Adhan is the invitation to pray as this is its main purpose. Thus, this is the call to prosperity and good deeds and the Adhan ends in the name of Allah as it is started with. Obviously, reciting Adhan has its own reward from Allah. Ma'awiya bin Wahab, Quran al-Athoriyah of mama sadaqah, al-Athoriyah of God's prophet, whoever performs the call to prayer in one of the Muslim towns for one year, heaven is incumbent on him. Sulaiman ibn Ja'far, Quran al-Athoriyah of his father that once when a man from Sham went to see Imam sadaq peace be upon him, Imam told him that Bilal is the first person to go to heaven. The man asked the reason. The Imam said because he was the first one to say the call to prayer. In another tradition, Jabr Ja'far, Quran al-Athoriyah of Ma'awiya bin Wahab, that God's prophet said, the one who calls to prayer seeking a reward from God is like one who has drawn his sword in the way of God and is fighting in between the rows. Regarding this matter, Imam Ali, the commander of the faithful peace and blessings be upon him has said, those who say the call to prayer will be raised as chiefs on the Day of Resurrection. The late Sadaq Quran al-Athoriyah of Ma'awiya, tradition al-Athoriyah of Ja'far ibn Muhammad, al-Athoriyah of his father, al-Athoriyah of God's prophet, peace be upon him and his pure progeny, God the High will grant the reward of 40,000 martyrs and 40,000 voracious ones to whoever says the call to prayer for the sake of God. Due to such a person, 40,000 sinners from my nation should be allowed into heaven. Indeed, one the one who says the call to prayer testifies to the unity of God, 70,000 angels will send greetings to him and seek God's forgiveness for him. They will be in the shade of the Lord's throne on the Resurrection Day until God finishes the reckoning of all people. 40,000 angels will record the reward of his testifying to the Prophet Muhammad. With that, we can clearly conclude that Adan has its own special reward that no other deed will reach. We have reached the end of this episode. Stay tuned for another episode on the treaties of rights. Thank you all for watching and may Allah hasten the best appearance for our beloved Imam Mahdi, peace and blessings be upon him. Wassalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh.


Hello, I welcome you all once again to my channel for your education and Dr. Rashmi Singh, Assistant Professor, Department of Education, Assistant Nagar Study College, University of Palahak. And in the series of discussing issues over statistics, this time I am going to discuss about measures of central tendency. This is a very important and common topic on the basis of central tendency. In this video, we will only discuss its concept, theory, and how to remove its computation in the next videos. Okay, so let's start. Hmm, measures of central tendency, that is, what is the basis of central tendency? For example, in the name of statistics, the data we have received from statistics, what is the basis of the data? They want to come to the center. Their affection for the center is affinity. That is the basic concept of measures of central tendency. What are the eyes whose priority is to come to the center? This is the rule of law. If you want to understand it in one line. So, what it says is that measures of central tendency provides a single value. That is, the values of central tendency give us a single value. A single value that indicates the general magnitude of the data and this single value provides information about the characteristics of the data by identifying the value at or near the central location of the data. See, in this definition, you can fully understand what is the map of central tendency. What it says is that the map of central tendency gives us a single value that indicates the general magnitude of the data. That is, the general magnitude of the data is the value at or near the central location of the data. And what does this value give us? It gives us information about the characteristics of the data. The characteristics of the data. That is, the eyes that we get give us information about the characteristics of the data by identifying the value at or near the central location of the data. How does it give us information about the eyes? It gives us information about the mind that is coming in the middle of it. That is why it says the map of central tendency. That is the map whose priority is to come to the center. So, you will be able to understand the map of central tendency. So, you will be able to understand the map of central tendency. So, we will be able to tell you what is the magnitude of the data at the center and what is the general information about it. That is the value of the data. So, instead of being afraid of the statistics, we will first understand it. So, what is the next step? We will have to come out of it. This is the second term. It is the second step. We have to come up with half-questions or numerical questions. The first step is to understand the concept. Without understanding the concept, you will not be able to ask questions. So, this definition was made in 2011 by Borden and Borden. It is a very strict definition. Then, what is the minimum of the king in 2013? It says described measures of central tendency as a summary field. It says that the maps of central nature give us a mark in the form of a syringe that helps in describing a central location for a certain group of scores. It helps us to get a certain group of scores. We have been given a sample of all the scores. This summary figure tells us about the center of this situation. What summary figure? The measures of central tendency. Which are? You will know. I will tell you now. Then, Tate described in 1995 that measures of central tendency as a sort of, it should be a sort of average or typical value of the items in the series and its function is to summarize the series in terms of this average value. It says that it is telling us the average. It is telling us the average of the items. And it is telling us the typical value of the items in the series. And what is its work? To summarize the series in terms of this average value. That is to say, whatever series is given to us, whatever points we get, whatever scores we get, it summarizes it in terms of its average value. Who? The measures of central tendency. So, what is the work? What are its functions? They provide a summary figure with the help of which the central location of the whole data can be explained. That is to say, the most important thing is that we are given a single value. We will be given a figure in the form of a summary in the form of Saransh, with the help of which we will be able to tell that we can explain the central location of the entire data. The first and the most important thing. Then, large amounts of data can be easily reduced to a single figure. We got a very large amount of data. We told it in one figure that almost the magnitude of the data, its information, its location, its distribution, what is it? Then, when the mean is computed for a certain sample, we will be able to tell the population of the entire data. When we talk about the mean, let me tell you in the last part, what are the three main areas of the central region. So, if we talk about a sample or a population, what is the population? The whole individual, the basic, whatever we have taken, the organization, whatever we have taken for the study, everything comes into the population, which is called understanding. For example, when we take out a representative group, we take out a representative group, we take out a sample or a sample or a sample. So, it is said that when you take out a mean for a certain sample, you can also tell that you can tell about the mean of the population. Then, the results obtained from computing measures of central tendency will help in making certain decisions for policy making, marketing, sales and so on. It is said that if you take out measures of central tendency, then you can make direct decisions for a certain score. So, you will also be helped to take out decision making, such as, to make policy, marketing, sales and so on. Then, comparison can be carried out based on single figures computed with the help of measures of central tendency. When we take out measures of central tendency, we can also divide a number of the eye groups. Then, the three measures of central tendency are 3 most popular, 3 most popular measures of central tendency and a lot of people will ask you if you know anything about the statistics then the mean median mode will be there or the mean median mode will be there, so the mean median mode is the basic for you. Ok so these 3 we will get on the map of the central region which will tell us about the central region of the eyes. Let's take a look at the mean median mode. The mean median mode is one of the most commonly used measures of central tendency. The most commonly used measure of central tendency is the mean median mode. It is often referred to as average and it is also generally referred to as standard. It can also be termed as one of the most sensitive measures of central tendency is all this force in a data taken into consideration when it is computed. And you can say that it is also the most sensitive measure of central tendency. Why? Because when you calculate it, you consider all the scores in it. All the scores are taken, no one leaves them. Mean is the total of all the scores in data divided by the total number of scores. And how is it taken out? When everyone in their childhood taught in Garnit's lecture that how is it taken out? The more scores they give, the more scores they give and the more scores they give, they run away from their numbers. Like 2, 4, 6, 10, 8, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16. All these are taken out and in 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, whatever 7, 8, 8, 8, 8 are given, they run away from them. So you will get to know what is average. Then what is median? The median is a point. The thing to pay attention to is that the index of the central tendency is a special thing. The average was that the index of the central tendency is more than the index of the central tendency. Whereas the median is telling us about the index. Madhika says that it is a point in any distribution. That is, it is a point in any distribution. Below and above which lie half of the scores, which are above and below half of the scores are left. That is, there are a lot of eyes. If you are given the ascending or descending order, then that is the index of the central tendency. Which is above and below. That is, it is the middle point. You can say that the middle point is called the median. That is why it is denoted from P50. The median is also referred to as P50. What is P? What is the point of 50? In the middle. It will be between 100 and 50. That is why. As stated by Bordens and Abbott, the median is the middle score in an ordered distribution. That is, you have to pay attention to the order of the distribution. That is, you will not do it in a better, half hazard distribution. You can give any number to it. You can make it in order, either in order or in order. And then you can tell what we generally increase. The ascending order. You can tell that the middle point is above and below half of the scores. If scores are to be arranged in either ascending or descending order, then the middle score in this distribution is then identified as a median. Whatever we have given to the ascending order, we can arrange it in ascending order. The point of the middle point will be our median. It will be the middle point. Then the mode. It is the easiest and the least used. Mode is denoted by the symbol MO. What is MO? It is the measure of your central tendency. And what is O? It is for the mode. What is mode? Bahu Lak. Mode is the score in a distribution that occurs most frequently. It is the easiest. You can just look at it and tell which score is used the most. It is the highest. For example, if you have two eyes, six, four, eight, two, five, six, two. So it is coming again and again. What is two? It is Bahu Lak. It is coming again and again. It is the highest. Certain distributions can be bimodal, trimodal and multimodal as well. Some angles can be bimodal. There are two angles that are coming again and again. Trimodal means three angles that are coming again and again. Multi-modal means many angles that are coming again and again. This type of data can also be. Though if the scores in a distribution greatly vary, then there may be no mode. This can also happen. That you get such an angle that no angle is repeating. It does not matter. Everything is completely different from each other. So when we get an angle, it does not mean that it is not Bahu Lak. That is why Bahu Lak is easy to calculate. It is the easiest to compute. But it does not mean that it is sensitive. You do not get much information about the angle. And many times it can happen that you did not get it. Okay. Then there is your mean. Now look at the meaning properly. What is the mean? The mean is sensitive to the actual position of each and every score in a distribution. And if another score is included in the distribution, then the mean or average of that distribution will change. The mean is the most sensitive. The actual position tells us the distribution of each and every score. And the moment you add any score, the mean will change. Because we all have to join. And if everyone has an angle, then the mean will change. So the mean is the most sensitive. And the mean denotes a balanced point of any distribution. And the total of positive deviations from the mean is equal to the negative deviations from the mean. Look at this. What is the mean? That is the mean. So all the angles are not the same. All angles are the same. That means if we all join, then the mean will change. That means actually, every angle is showing deviations. So they are saying that the positive deviation of the mean is the same as the negative deviation of the mean. That means if you all join the deviations, that means the positive deviation of the mean is the minus of the negative deviation. So the point of the mean is that the rest of the angles will be less than that or more than that. So the positive deviation and the negative deviation are equal to the mean. And the mean is especially effective when we want the measure of centrality to reflect the sum of this course. And this is the most effective when we have to find out the value of the central point of the mean if we want to find out the value of the mean. And what is the benefit of this? Easy to calculate. You can easily calculate this. All these scores in the distribution are considered when the mean is computed. When the mean is taken out, then we have to take all the angles and further mathematical calculations can be carried out on the basis of the mean. If you want to take out the standard deviation, the mean, then you can take out something else as well. You can also calculate the value of the mean. And what are the limitations? Outliers and extreme values can have an impact on me. Assume that you have given 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 50. Now 50 is very much. Outlier is an extreme score. So if you take it out, then you will get around 50. But how are the rest of the angles? 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, these are very far from 50. So as soon as there is an outlier, then the mean is deviate and it does not give us the right reflection of the data. So this is its limitation. It is not suitable for data that is skewed or is very asymmetrical. It is not suitable for that kind of angle. 3, 2, 6, 5, 10, 9, 3 data is given and they have to take out the mean. So the mean will be somewhere around 500 gas. Whereas the data was 3. So if you get the data, then the mean is not suitable for that. Because it will not do the right representation. The median is less sensitive to extreme scores and outliers. It is said that compared to the mean, compared to the average, the average is less sensitive. For extreme scores, why? Because it does not have to be joined. We just have to tell that what is the middle point for extreme scores? If there are 100, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 100, then it does not matter to us. The middle point will have to be there. Then when a distribution is skewed or asymmetrical, the median can be adequately used. When your distribution is skewed, meaning that it is not possible to use the mean, but it is possible to use the mean because the mean does not have to take any of these scores. That is the actual score at one end of the distribution is not known then the median can be computed. What does open-ended mean? As we talked about it earlier, the statistical series of series, if it is 0 to 10, then you are aware that the first rank is 0. But if it says less than 10, that is open-ended, more than 50, then you are open-ended. You do not know the actual score, then you can remove the median. You do not know the actual score. You cannot calculate the median but you can do the median. Okay? What is the benefit of this? That it will not affect the outlier or extreme score. It will not affect the outlier or extreme score. In certain cases, it is possible to identify the median through inspection as well as graphically. We can only look at the graph and tell the median what are the limitations not based on every score in the distribution. This is not the basis for the outlier or extreme score, and it can be affected by sampling fluctuations and thus can be termed as less stable than the mean. And since sampling, that is how you have made the sample, it affects it and it depends on it. So this is less than the median. So this is about the median. Then the mode. The easiest mode is compute than mean and median. In mean and median, you still have to see the mode. You can only see the difference in the number of points. And mode is not affected by outliers or extreme scores. This is not affected by outlier or extreme score like the median. So what is the benefit of this? It can also be determined by mere inspection. It is not affected by outlier or extreme scores. But it is a limitation. It is sometimes possible that the scores in the data vary from each other and in such cases the data may have no more. This can happen that you may not get any such result. No one has more than one frequency. They are completely different from each other. So there is no benefit in that. It is not based on the whole distribution. This is not based on the whole distribution. And sampling fluctuations have an impact on mode. The fluctuation of the sampling fluctuation means the sampling is changing. It is varying. That is the difference. That is why it is lacking. So how can we take out all this? The measures of central tendency. The measures of central tendency are those measures whose tendency is to come towards the center. The central tendency tells us whether the number of eyes is less or the number of eyes is more. The media tells us that these are the eyes where the eyes are equal. They do not consider the eyes to be equal. For example, if we give 11 eyes, then the center point will tell us that there are 5 eyes above and 5 below. Similarly, when we learn computation, we will learn how to know the center point when there is an even number. The 5th and 6th the 4th or 5th which is in the middle, will tell us what is the center point. So this way, it depends on the eyes. It does not depend on the mind. And what is the fluctuation? The fluctuation is the easiest. The fluctuation can be more than one eye So this is the fluctuation. After fluctuation, the question is whether the data or the grouped data or the eye of the face or the eye of the eye is the main media and the mode. So the question is what is the formula or the individual series or the grouped data or the short method or the long method or the formula you have to keep in mind if you have to do something then the main media mode will be written. So first, you should understand the concept. What is the measure of central redundancy and what is the concept of the main media mode and how they differ from each other and where there is similarity. So in the next videos I will cover how the main media mode is taken out. Okay? So thank you and don't forget to like and subscribe my channel ExploreITUATION. I have done from my side.

Thank you, Mark, for inviting me, among others, and thanks to the McLean's and to the Center for hosting this conference again. I want to thank my colleagues first because really my colleagues have done all the heavy lifting on this study that I'm about to present to you. Lucia Vocial, who's in the audience and who's a great inspiration for me with respect to nursing, ethics and issues. Sue McClendon, who did most of the work that I'm going to show you, Maggie Uruk and Kate Amlin, who are two of our former fellows who did some of this work as their fellowship projects. Let's see if I can figure out how to use a Mac. How's that? So this is what Stan Goldblatt told me after I left the University of Chicago. I was here for 14 years altogether and been in Indianapolis ever since. Stan is known, of course, for his rye humor and his great distaste for other large Midwestern cities. So I don't have to tell this audience, by the way, I have too many slides so I decided I could either cut some out or just talk really fast. So I'm just going to talk really fast. So I don't have to convince this audience that there's great evidence for inappropriately aggressive care and care that's not consistent with patients' authentic preferences at the end of life for cancer patients. And these are just some examples of those statistics that bear witness to that. About a quarter of cancer patients are still receiving chemotherapy in the last three months of life and about 15% in the last month of life. About 20% of Medicare patients who had metastatic cancer started a new chemotherapy regimen in the last two weeks before death and so on and so forth. There's lots of evidence. In a recent study of 235,000 older adults dying from cancer, about two-thirds were hospitalized and a quarter were admitted to the ICU within 30 days of death. About a quarter died in the hospital and only about half had accessed hospice. So these are not at all consistent with patients' preferences as expressed in multiple other studies about what patients really want at the end of life. Jenny Mack and her colleagues at Harvard found in a big study of about 1,500 patients with advanced cancer that although almost all of them eventually said I had an end of life discussion with a doctor, about half of those discussions took place within the last month of life and most of them occurred with physicians other than their oncologist. I want to just emphasize that prognostic information and prognostic understanding in particular is particularly important and influential. And again, great data to bear this out that when patients understand their prognosis, they're more likely to make decisions that are both more in line with their preferences and also less in favor of overly intensive therapy. And I don't want to belabor all of the data for the sake of time, but here's just a smattering of studies which bear witness to those facts. Holly Prigerson's study in the third bullet, even among patients who were aware that they were terminally ill, almost 50% didn't report discussions with physicians about end of life care preferences. So these discussions are not happening when they do happen and patients understand their prognosis better. They tend to make what we might call better decisions. Oncologists are clearly part of the root of the problem. The problem is a very complicated one. I don't want to oversimplify or give you the impression that I believe that oncologists are the only problem, but I clearly believe that they are a main problem. So this is some evidence of that. So in the largest study done today, prognosis was discussed by medical oncologists with only 39% of the patients. That is to say 39% of those patients recollected a discussion. That doesn't mean necessarily that the discussion didn't happen, but that's what they remembered. And in the largest longitudinal study that I know of hospitalized patients, about 62% of the time patients and families recollected that the physician had never discussed the possibility of death. Now people have tried to do something about this. Tony Back, Walter Bale and others have this wonderful program called Oncotalk, which is a training program. It's empirically based. It's all full of adult learning principles and so forth. And they offer seminars. They happen to have them in Vail, so if you love Vail, you get to go there and have this. They've done this with many fellows. They've shown that this has great outcomes, but it's unclear to me that this can have a broad impact across practicing oncologists, all 11,000 of us in the United States. There have been books. This is Bob Arnold's who does really wonderful work in this program, Mastering Communication with Seriously Old Patients. And when I listen to Bob Arnold, I get incredibly inspired and yet I've come to this conclusion. Anybody know what that is? That's an old dog and we're trying to teach him a new trick. And so oncologists, I have come to the conclusion, are basically old dogs. And if you just go up to 30,000 feet and look at what we do, about a third of us are actually quite good at doing this, at helping patients through those transitions from disease directed therapy to end of life therapy. About a third of us are kind of okay to middling and about a third of us are actually really bad because we're really uncomfortable with it. We don't do it well. We don't enjoy that part of the engagement. It's not a challenge to us and so forth. And so I began to, after the more months I was on service over the years in the hospital, I began to see patients who were clearly dying, who would have been clearly identified as dying two weeks prior, two months prior, and yet they were still ending up in the hospital with seemingly no understanding of their prognosis. And I began to wonder whether the people who had the most access to them, the bedside nursing staff, could have an impact on this. So I want to summarize some of the research we've done to work out what are the issues involved in having bedside nursing staff begin to answer some of the questions. One of the questions was do they actually encounter patients who don't understand, do the patients ask them questions and so forth. So the theory behind this, they're not really a theory, but the set of presumptions that were behind it, the nurses are well facilitated to do this. They spend significant time with patients. They're among the most trusted clinicians, but it was very unclear to the extent to which they engage in these sorts of discussions. They may have opportunity to do it, and clearly there's a body of understanding that nurses act as intermediaries. But we couldn't find any real empirical data to suggest that their role, what the boundaries were, what the roles were, et cetera, had been studied. We did feel though that nurses have knowledge, that is I can identify, you know, dying patients, I in an experienced oncology nurse can walk in the same room and identify the same patients. Opportunity and a strong professional commitment, but we wondered if they faced barriers, and actually we began to talk to people informally and anecdotally around the institution and sort of worked out kind of a model of what we thought was going on. If you look at communication about prognostic related information, nurses may have wondered whether that's in the scope of nursing practice. Is prognosis discussion really my role or not? Do they have enough information expertise to answer the questions? Is it consistent with what the physicians have said before to them? And we, to a person, we heard stories of nurses who said, Dr. Helft jumped down my throat the last time I talked to that patient about hospice without his permission. So they had all had a story of somebody who had intimidated them because they engaged in this sort of communication. So we did a survey, one of our former fellows did a survey, and I won't belabor the details of it, but a 5% random sample of the largest oncology nursing organization in the world, the ONS. And we did a mailing over several days. I just want to share a few of the things. We wondered if this was an issue, about half of them said that they always are often cared for patients who didn't understand their prognosis. We often encountered questions suggesting that they wanted more information. Most of them disagreed, however, that nurses should provide a numerical estimate of life expectancy. So what this study, just to summarize, showed us, I think, convinced me anyway, that oncology nurses are situated, encounter this problem, recognize this as a problem. We also asked them, I had been working for 10 years on oncologists' perceptions of their own, how well they deal with prognostic discussions, and come to the same conclusion that I think the literature has come to. But nobody had asked nurses, the nurses who worked with us, whether they thought we had had. We were good at this. And so this was the first study that I know of in which we asked them, and I just want to share a couple of things. A quarter of them disagreed that the doctors they worked with were skilled, and almost a third of them felt that the doctors that they worked with rarely or never addressed end-of-life issues early in the course of the illness. So not a very, and again, that's very consistent with what, if you just look at the literature broadly shows, about a third of us are not very good at this. So we undertook, and Sue MacLennan did the heavy lifting on this study, a qualitative study to begin to drill down on the issues that were identified in the survey. We knew that it was a phenomenon, it was a real phenomenon. We thought that oncology nurses were actually encountering this, but felt that they had ethical barriers, what could be perceived of, or conceived of as ethical barriers. So we did this qualitative study, and as a, you know, non-card-carrying qualitative researcher, I'm not going to belabor the details of it because I couldn't, but in any case we did 27 interviews and did thematic analysis. And I just want to share a few of the main results from this. You've learned already about qualitative research this afternoon with the earlier tutorial, but being in the middle was one of the main themes. And I'll just see, here's a quote that supports this, we just feel like we're left out of the loop and yet we're having to deal with the patients and their families and the questions they're asking. And we heard this over and over and over again that, you know, we come in and we round for three minutes and we take off and the rest of the day they don't see us, but the nurses there for a 12-hour shift getting all of these questions, the family says, well, what have you seen in patients like this, what have you seen in people like my husband before? What should we do? What do you think is going to happen to me? How are they supposed to feel those questions? We found that over and over again. Nurse actions facilitating, including partnering, educating, and care conferences. So one of the nurses said, I do inquire with patients if they'd like a discussion with a physician. And that was a theme that came out over and over again, this idea of connecting the physician back to an opportunity to talk about this. Collaborating and filling the gaps, that is, when they identified gaps that could be left, how do you get nurses to collaborate with the physicians? Because we think that's probably a key step. That nurses, you know, answering all the questions independently is probably not going to work clinically, but rather how do they begin to partner. And then in some cases we heard stories of direct addressing of these issues. In this quote I felt a responsibility to my patient and the family to tell them that the prognosis was not good and he probably had only a matter of days. And that was in a patient who didn't know that he or she had days to live. And then the outcomes, some of the benefits that we saw from the nurses stories prognosis understanding. So I've noticed a huge difference if we get palliative care involved and how early they get involved. She was speaking in that case about the patient's understanding of their prognosis. One of the negative outcomes including nursing moral distress, so the idea that you recognize this problem but are not empowered to do something about it. I didn't prepare him for what could happen and then I found out that he ended up getting transferred coding and dying. It's a very hard thing for me, one of the nurses told us. So what we have developed and hopefully in the process of getting, well we have some of this work funded for the next steps but not all of it. An intervention that we're calling the radars intervention and it really is a communication skills program for bedside oncology nursing staff. Having to do with again recognizing the patient's cues, how do you recognize when they have a misunderstanding about their prognosis and their need for information. Assessing their level of understanding, determining the best course of action and then responding perhaps with care conferences with reconnecting physicians to the opportunity to discuss prognosis end of life care hospice referral, etc. Thank you.


My name is Staff Sergeant Michael Blue from the United States Army, Europe and Africa Band and Chorus. I'm the music performance team leader for Free Groove. So what happened today? We had a bit of a cultural exchange with Assad where he said, hey, he called me up last night. He said, hey, I'd like to come to your rehearsal and I'd like to teach you guys a Moroccan hype song, a get excited song. He sent me the link from YouTube and I watched it and I was like, we'll see if we can do that. I don't know if I can replicate all the dancing and all the energy, but we'll try. So we came in the day and I think I think we did a pretty good job. I think mission complete on that. I believe that music is a universal language that everyone can speak. And so whether we're playing the electric slide, whether we're playing Live in the Vida Loca, whether we're playing Achi Ka Achi Kawa, it's all music, it's all energy and it's all expression. We got a chance today to experience some of that Moroccan music and it's pretty awesome. I think one of the more challenging aspects of learning the Moroccan piece was just the rhythm. And trying not to mess up the words, pronunciation. And I think we did a pretty good job of that today. The most fun I believe that came out of today was being able to see the excitement inside its face and also see the excitement in our group, free groove, seeing how excited they were to exchange the cultures together. We showed him a little bit of what we like to do in America as far as dancing left and right, back and forth, line dancing. And then he got a chance to show us hand clapping, playing the right rhythms and just being super excited. And so that was pretty cool. What I'd like to see when we're able to play this particular piece for the public is just excitement. And also if we have him on stage, that'll definitely add a little bit more authenticity to it. And so that'll get everybody excited. And then they'll stick around and they'll be able to exchange some of our cultures once again, the electric slide and whatever else we're going to play and they can enjoy it. I serve because I'm passionate about music and I'm also passionate about helping and I'm also passionate about the service that we give not only to our troops but to the American people, obviously now the Moroccan people. And it's exciting. It's exciting to see that. It's exciting to see the, especially children, enjoying the music and also enjoying what we're putting out there, which is I believe a good product. I'd like to give a shout out to my wife, Alyssa, my daughter Cameron, my son, Christian. He's actually going back to Texas, so hook him horns.


I'm sure other people get to work early than us well I know people do but in today we've got concrete and we've got the grab on Concrete's coming at half eight. We have the laser level on Saturday. So we've got the laser gonna get the levels in We're gonna wrap the the piping polystyrene so that we can concrete around it and Put some boards out on the next door's drive because we have to go across next door's drive, which we've We have to go across next door's drive because we've had but we've asked permission for that and Oh Yeah, put a few boards out in the garden stopping falling to the hole. Yeah, because it's a deep hole We don't want to go in there with a wheelbarrow So it's a bit of a band-dash because the concrete's coming at half eight and we're not ready So I've got here a bit early to get stuck in so we'll catch you on the job. Thankfully we've got a laser level Yes, we have a don't look at yes We have our laser level my trusty spectra. I read the box. So see you around there Right and here we are so you've seen this a million times already, but there's our fussing and there's our pipe which We've managed to get as much around as we can There's our pipe which we've managed to get enough concrete chipped way around it and like dad said we're gonna wrap that up in polystyrene and Get ourselves ready for this levels out ready. Well the levels there. It's not out yet, but get what I mean, but We're gonna get you set up and get this in as quick as we can so we're ready for this concrete It's we're either Like two hours too ready for them or like Just about smidge done it There's no in between. There's no happy medium or we're ready. We're always either way too early or we're Just scraping it So let's get this a GoPro set up season sec Let's get some pin set out and there we have it pins are in and they're all been sprayed up So we know where they are tell you what that level is a lifesaver We just we'd still be doing this if we had the straight edge and we're trying to fiddle around here It saves us a lot of time Cat cam Yeah, it's a lot of time. So levels are ready. So free on the concrete now Now I think we're going to try and tackle some of this so Season sec Here we go grabs here Do you need to hear our good pal steves come to her? Yeah, right concrete completely just arrived. So I think they're waiting for Steve to get finished up and then we're going to get the concrete poured in so Everything's definitely getting done so I'll get you set up so you can watch Steve's way towards it I'll tell you what that's progress So Me and Steve are just Showed back a load of the crap and now he's going to get these stones put here And then we may be able to get a bit more on and hopefully See the back of that soon and obviously the concrete companies here now They're wheeling through dad's dad's handling them. I'm handling Steve So, yeah, it's a busy morning. So I'll get you set back up while While it's all happening turbulence Just want to get an angle of us getting this steel in All right, let's get this steel in You see what's been cut out there? I'm not filming this down There you go. There's the outtake Jesus, what a concrete All the ones we could have seen was the film No gloves Well, there we go That's down Tell you what I say this every time, but there's nothing more satisfying than when that concrete's in Look at that Finally and now it doesn't look anywhere near as deep as it was, does it? Still pretty deep, but It's all done and The steel mesh all the way in there As you saw on the talents and on the video So that's all reinforced The pipe's been boarded off post-iring Beautiful. Thank you to the concrete company That's literally the name the concrete company. So I've not forgot the name. That is the name So There we go That is a big big relief And I'll take you round to the front and show you the front now Where's Where's all that mess gone?  So that one's a massive thank you to Steve over at Jane Apea There are Definitely our go-to grab company, aren't they? Steve's a massive L.P He was down here with the spade help and we get all that crap loaded into his bucket So that's the big tasks of the job done Paul's done skipping here It's clear his drive, make sure it's clean We did promise him it'd be clean Yeah So we'll get that sorted out Sounds good to me Another casualty of the job But yeah, so let's have a quick break What time's it at? Quarter to four Oh, it's a good guess So what are we doing this morning? Concrete winning 4.1 meters Which arrived exactly the same time as the grab wagon Let's stay our Super driver Got to get all the crap for us That massive pile of crap was only 14 ton Believe it or not So we could have got another load in there But it was where to put it on the drive But that's that's it is what it is Took more concrete than we expected But again, it needed it needed to be where it is now Then we started investigating this pipe We found the end of the gully broken smashed Kept going got to about here broken smashed Then we got to here And it came up and then down and then this bend here Went down into this bend which goes down there probably on about a 45 degree angle Luckily for us the soil pipe dropped straight in and under This has been renewed with plastic and you'll see in the corner there There's a band seal so that's where it goes into the original plate So the original you can see a bit of a lintel Maybe a doorstep but it looks like a lintel You can see all the pipes used to go under the garage wall This is the original garage Which is the doors been bricked up And then obviously those pipes turn or hit a manual in there somewhere And head out to the front of the house So thank god the soil pipe doesn't go underneath The underneath the floor Surface water comes in though a lot quite deep You won't even see it here because it's it's leveled the concrete at that end And it's coming this way so it's going to be way down there somewhere I expect that drops into it because that was a surface gully Then we've got this soil and then we've got a foul gully there I don't know where that goes because we can't find the pipe for that But that's getting blanked off So what I'm doing now is There's no way getting a band seal on to that So you get this little fancy invention It plugs into obviously it's your under mill pipe But it plugs into your clay So I'll just show you how it works If I can get the camera set up Oh yeah no fairy liquid today I was remembering the air because we brought the bag of drainage bits That was in there so proper poly pipe lubricant So a bit on there beautiful That's probably better fit than a normal seal So now we're going to come out The only thing we can do with this is 90 and a 90 So because it's a bottle gully bottle gully you've got That black handset is removable So you can clean out the trap and put that back in So yeah I'm going to come out across and background And put the gully that side of the wall out there So I'm going to get this set up now Ready for tomorrow and then there's a bit of pipe work to do at that end Which we can't do until we get some wall up And then we can dig down and find some good pipe to connect to And reinstate that gully at the top which is over the top corner I'm pretty sure the gully's just blocked If not we'll just have to replace it But yeah I'm going to take out the smashed clay and put some plastic in So yeah I carry on this for now That's as far as we can get today That's got a lovely fall on that And it's going to have the same here A very nice steep fall out to that 90 And out to the gully But we can't place that gully until it's been back filled And we know where the wall is Because this gully is to take the downspout off the roof Off this roof so it'll be coming down here We haven't gone the other end because it's because the smashed clay So we've started again at this end Tapped into the original pipe I know it's 290s but it's only surface water off the roof And it's a cleanable gully like that And it's also rodable Although you won't be able to rod around the 90 degree bends So that's it We can't place this until we've got our wall positions And then we can come in 300 A little bit further and send it straight out So we've just got two small lintels across then to get it out So yeah that's the plan Rest of the day now is just get loaded out what we can So we've got to start in the morning Where the forecast isn't brilliant but we'll just have to suck it and see You can lay these in the rain as long as it's not too heavy So let's tidy our bits up and we'll just turn that up for now So nothing can get in it Nothing can fall down it That's that for now Yeah that's it Alex brought some commons round For the cattle It's just gone under the brick jackets Yeah it's a beautiful day now It's nice and cool Nice breeze Everything's drying out really well Yeah not as we cover everything up Our extra trench block of corn Because we've put an extra course of trench block in Basically we've doubled the concrete And put an extra course of trench in because it's just so deep There's half a meter of concrete in there Reinforced And then we've still got to come up See the ground's lower We're coming up to here DPC That's the garage DPC We're coming up to this DPC which is the house So there's seven courses of face showing on the The garden there I mean it might be less when they do the garden But the garden's being landscaped The front and back's being done as well so But we just gotta make sure it's right when we leave here Concrete's dried out nicely Made up with that A couple of lintels over

Donald Trump just launched truth social his answer to Twitter and when I say answer to Twitter I mean it's basically a Twitter clone except it doesn't work properly and You have to get on a waiting list to actually join the website Well, there was a lot of hype around this particular app because Donald Trump can finally tweet again Except it's already crashing and burning and not many people are using the app Including Donald Trump himself So as Meredith McGraw and Rebecca Curran of Politico explain at the conservative political action conference in Florida Speculation of a 2024 presidential bid by former president Donald Trump loomed large But fanfare about his truth social app that had launched earlier that week There was hardly any Trump mentioned the app in passing only a few times on stage people including representative Marjorie Taylor Green named Truth social but there was barely any buzz at the conference about the app other than Trump What makes a platform compelling enough to come back over and over again? How is it any different than Twitter and Parler said one Republican digital strategist who spoke on the condition of anonymity to speak candidly About different conservative apps after Twitter permanently suspended Trump the self-proclaimed earnest Hemingway of 140 characters vowed to turn the social media world upside down with a platform of his own But well more than a year later his platform has failed to prove It's ready to cause the kind of disruption he imagined worse There's not much public enthusiasm around the current venture top figures in Trump world are barely using the app Some give the verbal equivalent of a shrug when asked about it and Trump himself has only posted one quote truth And therein lies the problem Trump himself doesn't even believe in the app But even if he was really active on this app and he used it really frequently What's the point of a social media application that revolves around one person? How is that fun and furthermore that kind of Defeats the purpose of social media if you're just existing in an echo chamber because conservatives they log on and then what? They circle jerk about Trump being good I just don't get how this is fun And when you think about the way that websites like Facebook algorithmically he people engaged on these platforms Well, they try to put people against each other try to show people more Content that will make them angry or more willing to fight with other people So when you don't have any of that you really have no reason to in turn to return no No ways of keeping people engaged. It's just Trump is awesome. Yeah, let's circle jerk about Trump That's great and all and perhaps, you know, there was some legitimate enthusiasm at the beginning But that's going to get boring and the bigger issue here is truth socials lack of originality It looks exactly like Twitter embarrassingly. So look at these screenshots. It's laid out just like Twitter The verified symbol looks just like Twitter's tweets are called truths here. It's utterly shameless so the question is when given the choice between Truth social a Twitter clone that doesn't work properly and forces you to get on a waiting list to use the app Or just using Twitter where people are which would you use? People are already answering that question but more from Politico here Approximately 313,000 people follow Trump on truth social just a fraction of the more than 85 million who once followed him on Twitter That could be due in part to a waiting list to get onto the site that is still hundreds of thousands of people long But many major players in the conservative world also aren't on the app There are no verified accounts for Trump's former advisors Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani Although unverified accounts exist based on a search Tuesday while top conservative talk show host Dan Bonguino Has an account Glenn Beck and Tucker Carlson did not appear in the search and the app itself has been tripped up with technical difficulties from the moment it launched for a limited number of users on February 20th for being a social media platform There is little social interaction among users say some of the individuals who have joined from wait lists This raises questions about its ability to compete with major Silicon Valley platforms Even if it can garner the user base the rocky start has raised questions about truth socials Viability especially as it joins other conservative leading social media platforms including getter Parlor gab and video streaming site rumble all of which are trying to draw Trump supporters with promises of less content moderation Fair point now. What's interesting is that this in a way is Conservatives inadvertently telling us that they don't actually believe the bullshit that they're espousing about the censorship that they're seeing on Social media platforms if you look at the daily top tens on Facebook, it's all conservative content Ben Shapiro number one the daily wire number two the daily wire number three Ben Shapiro number four Dan Bonguino number five I mean, it's nothing but conservatives So they know that they already dominate these platforms So why would they go to a different platform with smaller user bases and they're gonna reach less people? They're speaking specifically or exclusively I should say to people who already agree with them I mean, you want to broaden your reach, right? You want to perhaps penetrate normie circles online? So why would you just go to far-right echo chambers? It's just a bad business model if you already are a social media star like Ben Shapiro for example who trends on Facebook daily and it's just boring who wants to use this who wants to go to this Website and just talk to other Trump supporters.  So when you can't even create a website that lures in trolls at a minimum You know that you've got a field product So it's already crashing and burning after less than two weeks I believe of it launching and it's sad but it speaks to Trump's waning star power I mean look I won't deny the fact that in the event the GOP primary were held today for the 2024 presidential election He would dominate that but little by little he is losing his influence more that he is out of the public eye And that's good. Hopefully his cult will just Move on but it's hard to say either way Um, I take pure joy out of this story because I think it's just funny that this website is crashing and burning already You know, he got banned from Twitter. So his response was okay, fine. I'll make my own and then within weeks It's already DOA. So again, this is kind of just like it's it's beta period apparently They haven't officially launched perhaps that's damage control either way you know Truth social is already a failure and you love to see it. Sorry, but it's true. I think this is funny Do yourself a favor and click the join button on YouTube to become a member Because Mike's doing a great job getting to watch his videos before everyone else is Tremendous many people are saying this Join today folks. You won't regret it
