Hey there friends, how's it going? My name is Kevin and today we're playing The Sims 4 with Turg and Jim.  All right, let's jump into the game. All right, so we're on a money-making mission. We're trying to make some money in this game. Oh yes, the lottery. Perfect. The game answered my prayers. That was way too in sync. What would be a great idea now is to get as many people in my family as possible. To get them all to get lottery tickets. Turg, I'll be back. I'm heading out for the day.  Where else can we go? What about up here?  I'll fit in perfectly. I like how everyone fixed when I removed that weird face mod I was using, but then you got Cyclops over here. Who just didn't revert for some reason. All right, head over to their house and bring a kid. This one, Clark, use him as sympathy to get into their household. Then they'll realize it's not even my kid. The thing is, while I'm here, I might steal some furniture if I can as well. That's what I was going to say originally. We're going to try and make some money and steal some furniture for the house. Wait, is that an urn? Oh no, that's just a vase. I like your style though. But they're in the room. Oh, what about these? No, they can't be worth much. They are tackies. I don't know what. All right, who's the weak link here? Who looks like they could use a friend? This guy's hanging out with children, so probably him. Hey, waving across the couch when there's a kid in the middle. Once again, Turg's just happy to be here. We're not even talking to him. Purchase lottery ticket. They're $100? That's a quarter of my money. And now with Turg buying one, that's half my money. He's inspired after spending $100. Oh God, he's getting tense because he hasn't stolen something in a while. All right, let's get upstairs, steal something real quick, and then come back, try and make friends. Wait, recently caught. What did he try and steal himself? Feckin' Egypt. He just can't resist. Look at him now. In the garden, eating this camper's chew under an umbrella. Jim, you're not here to have a picnic with Turg. We were supposed to make friends with the family. Look at this guy frying his eyes out. Yeah, he's definitely my way in.  Okay, yeah, now he's sitting out with Austin in the rain under the umbrella.  Friendly gifts. There we go. An incomplete hazmat suit. I'm trying to get rid of the junk in my inventory, so this is a good way of becoming friends. Well, also getting rid of my trash. You know what they say?  Well, in this case, another man's trash. Sorry, you're just gonna have to throw that away. It's completely useless. Even he's pissed. Okay, yeah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, clap at your own little joke there. Okay, now they're good friends asked to move in. All right, you know what? Just so it's an even trade and we have a hostage in case they do anything bad to Jim. Take the kid in the meantime, Turg.  Turn that frown upside down.  Also, there's an admin fee to the other family. Thank you very much. Okay, first things first. As the new man of the house, you all have to buy lottery tickets. Oh, wait, that's the kid I brought over. We don't need you anymore now. Wait, this is my son. How is this my son? I mean, still, my point stands that we don't need you anymore. Please leave. I did not know you were my son until I just saw parenting and then I was like, really? Send him home wherever your home is, kid. I'll see you around. I'm a good dad, I swear. We're bringing out the cake and then sending the kid home. Bye-bye. See you later. No cake for you. Why is he dripping wet? Oh, because it's still raining outside. Well, best of luck, kid. It's best you learn now that it's a tough world out there. It's just going out into the rain. Oh, nice rug. Put an inventory. Take that. The whole house is going to be stripped of little furnishings by tomorrow and then he's just going to miraculously decide to move out hopefully with some lottery winnings.  They've got like an indoor little garden here. Oh my God, they're growing their own stuff. I don't like that. There we go. There will be no planting under my roof. This is the guy who just moved in. There we go. Now that whole room is going up in flames and well, no one's even aware because they're all downstairs and thinking there couldn't possibly be a fire upstairs. All we have up there is plants. It would have to be some kind of evil magic or something. You can go to sleep, Jim. You've had a long day. We just got to sleep till the morning and see if we've won the lottery. That fire is raging in there. It's spreading to the hall as Jim sleeps in a child's bed one room over. This is the longest a fire has gone unnoticed and I don't know how long.  They're at school? I thought they were a fully grown adult. God, that fire is loud. Kid, come home. Yeah, skip school. I'm your dad now. I tell you what goes. His only option is to call the fire department. As if subconsciously he knows something's wrong. No, we're going to wait out that fire. If you react to the fire, you're letting the fire win. How about that for a life tip? Oh, they've got a smart light set up. Look at this. Yeah, I'm sitting in all the green and all lights on all the time. How is that for obnoxious? They're probably having a family meeting. Like, uh, why are we letting this new Jim Pickens guy decide everything in the house? He demanded our son comes home from school to make cakes for us. Why do they love cake so much? There's cakes everywhere. Come on. You can't even blame me at this point. There's no way you can't hear or feel that fire upstairs. Okay. Now the air around the stairs is on fire, which is never good. You don't want to see that. I've got an idea. I lock the downstairs bathroom. Then someone will have to go up. Oh, wait, Jim discovered the fire because it entered his room. All right, let's go over and sleep in the next room. Oh, someone's come up and immediately caught fire. Oh my God. They're all using the stairs and catching fire. Jim, get out of there. Oh, no, Jim's on fire. Extinguish self. There you go. He's a feckin genius when it comes down to it. There we go. Now he's locked in the bathroom. Nice and safe. He's where the water is.  Good thing he came home from school. All right, sunny boy. Oh, he put it out through the wall. He's a good kid really. Oh, he didn't have a lottery ticket anyway. That's the one I don't care about. You didn't even return the favor. You just kind of look annoyed with him that he's on fire. Oh, boys will be boys. Sending themselves on fire and whatnot. All right, I'm locking you in a room too because you're just going to interfere. There we go. You're locked in there with the paintings, the highly flammable paintings. You know, there's a fire department in the game now, right?  That one got bored of the fire and is just leaving. She's got other stuff to do. Oh, oh, the kid just died.  I'm just saying like he probably won't even get an insurance payout on that one. Oh, and now that toilet's on fire. Call the fire department. God damn, this family needs so much care and attention. Honestly, how do they manage without me? I mean, granted, I wasn't there to start the fire so they probably didn't have to deal with the fire but it's kind of irrelevant now. Like there's a fire. We just got to deal with the thing. I don't think the Grim Reaper will take kindly to be sprayed with that. You might want to be careful. There we go. All done. And look, we got an insurance payout. I'll take that if you don't mind. And to think that all started because they tried to illegally grow plants in their household. I'll take your son's urn now if you don't mind. He didn't even have a lottery ticket. He's irrelevant to us. She's still in there like, can I come out now? No, the fire's still going. It's been three days. Yep, it's still going out here. Yeah, lots of fire everywhere. Why were they trying to make so much cake? Resume white cake. Resume white cake. Resume white cake.  Eat white cake. And then there's two more, three more white cakes. Oh, and don't forget resume white cake over there.  And one more. Resume white cake. You know what? I could really go for some white cake right now. Wait, the lottery was successful. Oh, no. That's just, he had a great time because he bought a ticket. Okay, I actually got excited for once in my life. Jim swiped an object while at work and then I came up. Congratulations on starting your element collection. Why would he even steal that? All right, I got a counter, a knife rack, a sink, a stainless steel auto pot, another countertop. I think Jim is saying he wants a kitchen remodel. God, look at the state of the place. The green tint makes it look so much worse. It looks like a drug den or something. I don't know if this is just the curse of Jim, but everything starts breaking every time he's around the place. Or maybe it's just the excessive usage because of all the cakes you're making for some reason. I'll take a piece, but I'm still angry at you. And so is God. You hear that? He's pissed about all these cakes. Someone's sleeping in there. Okay, lock the door. Just locking them all in. Oh, they're in there too. Locked the door. They're all locked away now. Now wake her up and go to sleep. They've had a rough day, but I'm not allowing you sleep to forget it. There we go. She went in the en suite. That was a mistake as well. Now you're locked in there. Wait, I just realized this one survived. What the? No, we can't allow this. There we go. Okay, now back to sleep. Oh, God. And it's just on the other side of the wall from this lady. But don't worry. Love Day starts tomorrow. Emily Styles.  That's not any of you. One thing is for sure with these winnings, she may have suitors and long-lost cousin line up around the block. And I'll be first in line. Where is Emily? Why don't they filter out all the dead people and babies I don't want? I just want to find Emily. God, these people don't know anyone. It's so small, even with their dead son on there. I gotta find that Emily lady. Wait, who are you? How did you get in the house? Oh, I know you.  Yes, of course. How could I forget? Sorry. Well, she's dead. I'm leaving, but the woman got caught on the fire on the way.  He's having a great time. All right, Emily, no, Emily, no. He's just still having a chuckle out here. Oh, God, he monetized this happens to me. The happy little tuna play is just as someone dies. He doesn't even care. He walks on by. I was just about to say, let's fight fire with fire. And I was going to light the fire department on fire when it doesn't let you. You can't do magic when there's fire on the lot. All right, 286. That's mine too. And this is mine. I'm going home to my turg. Thanks for the memories, everyone. It's been real. I will see you later. Wait. Oh, my God, I just arrived and turg started a fire at the barbecue. That wasn't even me for the third time today, Jim. Would you mind calling the fire department? He may as well have my speed dial at this point. Yeah, it's me again. Yeah, it wasn't really me. Turg, please get out of that child. And this is really uncomfortable. I could I talk to you about moving back in, please?  The fire is gone. God, they're having a weird interaction right now. What is this? Okay, there we go. All right.  That is mine. I caused those fires. I earned it. I forgot to give back the kid. Well, you're always now kid. On fairness, there's not much to go back to.  The kid's very hungry, but I don't think turg knows how to cook. I mean, the last time you tried to make hot dogs, the barbecue went on fire, but I guess you can try again.  God is definitely angry at what I'm doing here.  Jesus Christ, it just missed him. What did we get though? I give from the gods. All right, kid, I made hot dogs. It's up there with the lightning and stuff. You can get some if you want. Oh God, he got struck by lightning.  The kid's running inside, but turg's just still happy to have his hot dog. You get to sleep, turg. There's gonna be ash everywhere when Jim gets home. For fuck's sake, you were making a mess up here then. I want to make you hang out there every day now. We'll call you a lightning rod. Just stick you on the roof. On the solar panel got broken. The money's leaving as fast as it comes in. Come on, turg. You may as well get some positive out of this. Go discover fire. Like the bonfire. There you go. You discovered fire. Immediately there's a fire dance to celebrate. Oh, careful. Jesus Christ. Oh, not only did he discover fire, he discovered that fire hurty. Jim swiped an object while he was at work. You keep swiping weird stuff, don't you? Speaking of swiping, we gotta get out there and do our original plan of trying to get furniture. I need to track down that Emily woman, but I don't know where she lives. Don't think I've been here yet. And that looks like a good house to rob. So I might visit there. Come on in. Okay, perfect. Now, what do I want? Oh, this looks expensive. Take that. You know, the kids coming, the kids coming. Okay, I got it. Never mind. Oh, food. Feed me. God, these people are rich. Look at this place. Maybe I shouldn't have jumped into grabbing that statue. There's probably a lot of stuff I could have stolen here. I found her. Emily Styles. One million dollars. What? How is that possible? That's how much you get for the lottery? Sorry, kid. I got to go. If anyone asks where that statue is, you saw nothing.  This is inappropriate. Please stop. Look, it's just a culture thing. In my culture, that's a compliment to freeze your kid. I'll leave. I froze her because she saw me stealing the statue. And then I ended up getting seen freezing a kid instead, which is a lot worse, I think anyway. All right, let me visit you, lady. I'll bring the fire department this time. So I don't have to call them. It would actually save them a lot of hassle if they just followed me around to be honest. This household is off the utility grid. It's an apartment block on its love day. I love money. I have never met this lady. I just walked in and sat next to her. Zibs, twinkle zibs, twinkle bazoo. Now he's singing Christmas songs, I think, but she likes that. That's okay. Where's Turg when you need him? He's sleeping on a park bench somewhere. Oh, there he is. Yeah, there's my partner in crime sleeping next to all the trash. Sleeper Gideon starting about now. Who is Gideon? Oh, yeah, the guy I like semi-adopted. He's still at home. God, you have nice furniture. Like, look at that for a toilet. If I went into a bathroom like that, I'm not even classy enough to realize it's a toilet. I'm pranking her toilet. I don't know what that means. I don't know what I did, so I'm just going to use the thing and see what happens. This is not a good prank, whatever it is. And Turg is just sleeping in her bed now. Okay, toilet is broken. The pee is just rebounding and coming back out by the looks of it. Hey, what you doing? I'm shirtless, Turg. Just checking in. Hey, you mind if I read your browsing history? I'm just reading into that. I like to get to know people. Oh, wait. Oh, no, she caught me clogging the trains. Okay, enough is enough. I'm going to have to ask you to leave. Okay, your money one way or another lady. I don't know what he just took, but he just swiped something off the wall while she was right there. She's freaking out.  One is evil and the other is just clueless. All right, we'll go home for now. But you haven't seen the last of us. Jim is a spellcaster master. How did you do that? I should make a cauldron or something to make potions. I've never tried that, but I don't know if I have the money because that selfish millionaire won't give it to me. I deserve it. I got it cost $1,350. Please, someone buy that fish. If someone bought that fish and I don't have money, it's worth two grand.  They're repossessing my items instead because I'm not paying my bills. Wait, how are you taking my whole gazebo thingy? At least it was the most useless item besides from me on the lot. Oh, come on, man. You can't just repossess someone's toilet. He's out here madly trying to sell that fish so he can afford a toilet. No, no, no, no, no. Don't take anything else. Come on, please. Okay, he's gone. Oh, he bought the doll. Okay, great. Now buy the fish. Someone buy the fish. Yeah, you want it, don't you? Just out by the docks and your impulse buy a two grand fish. It's nice. It's only been out for a few days. Yes, they bought my fish. Now I can buy a cauldron and a toilet. I have a weird lot. The things are just kind of thrown everywhere. Look at that.  Oh, wait, I should probably get an off-the-grid toilet though, otherwise my stuff is going to keep getting repossessed. All right, I don't know why it's red. I literally have an evil toilet somehow. I didn't think that was possible.  He just knocked over my bin right in front of me.  You're going in the cauldron. Crack him open again just to freeze him. He's stuck in this cycle now. He just keeps refreezing him. You shouldn't even refreeze food. Not to mind people. Oh, yeah, my yard sale's still going. That's over, by the way.  He's stuck here. Shashubi. Yeah, Shashubi is right. Go on, get out. All right, that wasn't a suggestion.  Leave my house. Oh, God, my spell backfired. I thought it said he was a master in spells.  I'm warning you. There we go. Now it works. You're putting it out. Oh, my God, you're lame. All right, your heroes are gone now. There's no one to protect you. There you go.  All right, he somehow lived, so I'll just freeze him and keep him as like a lawn ornament for now. Turkey's just looking at him like, that is some fine craftsmanship. All right, that has been an eventful day. I think we will leave it there. I'm not sure what to do with this millionaire. I don't think I've ever even ran into a millionaire in The Sims. If you have any suggestions, do let me know because I don't want to just take the million because then that feels too easy, you know? I love to think about it. Maybe they could fund some sort of business that Jim could start or maybe Turkey. I don't know. That might be a good idea. I hope you enjoyed. I appreciate watching as always. If you want to see more of me, I post every day and I also stream over on Twitch. The link to that is in the description, but yeah, other than that, I guess I'll just say I hope you enjoyed and I hope to see you next time. Bye for now.


Britain's political establishment revel in the claim that Jeremy Corbyn's leadership at the Labour Party was an abject failure and a moral disgrace. They like to assume it can be treated as a blip in politics as usual and as a traumatic accident that can be dismissed. However, new data suggests our political class, the press, the Prime Minister and Keir Starmer might be taking a risk by trying to expunge Corbyn from mainstream politics. Paul Sturz, Redfield and Wilton polled 2019 Labour voters who they think would make the best Labour leader, Keir Starmer or Jeremy Corbyn. And voters in both the 18 to 24 age bracket and the 25 to 34 bracket chose Jeremy Corbyn. So asked who they'd prefer or who they think makes the best Labour leader, 56% of 18 to 24 year olds said Jeremy Corbyn. That's compared to 29% who say Keir Starmer and 46% of 25 to 34 year olds say Jeremy Corbyn which is compared to 37% who say Keir Starmer. Now, obviously, if you're looking at the totality of that across all of the age groups, it's not amazing results for Jeremy Corbyn. None of it suggests, ah, he should be leader again. But what it does show you is that there is still a significant minority in this country and it's very much, based on a generational divide who think that Jeremy Corbyn was a good leader of the Labour Party and don't necessarily want him to be leader of the Labour Party again, but will be absolutely outraged that he has been expelled essentially from the parliamentary Labour Party and across the spectrum of the political class is basically positioned as beyond the pale. And if you have a majority of 2019 Labour voters under 34 who say he's a better leader of the Labour Party than the current leader of the Labour Party and this is someone who everyone has said, oh, do we even consider liking him?  That's really, really not healthy for democracy. And I think essentially you're disenfranchising a lot of people there. Do you think that sort of liberals in this country who think that they can just sort of, Jeremy Corbyn was an embarrassing accident, they can sort of basically put him in a wardrobe and say, no one should ever consider this person a politician again or a reasonable member of polite society.  Have they considered the effect that has on a whole generation of younger people who this polling show actually think he did a pretty decent job? No, is the answer. No. And what's really worrying, Michael, looking at those statistics is basically, Stalmer is kind of evens with Jeremy Corbyn amongst under 54s. Actually, the figures for Corbyn are actually surprisingly good. So 45 to 54, I think it was about 32%, that's one in three. That's quite a few people, right? Yeah, 32%. We're not talking like school kids here, we're not talking university undergraduates, we're talking people 45 to 54. People with mortgages, recurring responsibilities, maybe even grandparents, they've got to think about saving for a pension, et cetera, et cetera.  Yeah, I prefer that guy, one in three. So yeah, it says evens amongst under 55s, that's a big problem for Kirstalmer, Michael. That's a big, big problem. And you know, there's been some sort of disagreement about this, Kirstalmer was on the Jeremy Vines show, Monday, I believe it was. And from what I interpreted in his comments, because the question asked was about Corbyn losing the whip, the way he answered it felt to me like he was answering a question about the day that Jeremy Corbyn was suspended from the Labour Party, it was his personal decision. Now I tweeted about that, people can go listen to that link or you can go listen to Jeremy Vines show from Monday, I think about two hours in. Kirstalmer's whole sort of political brand is that he isn't Jeremy Corbyn and yet 50% of Labour voters at the last general election, it's 10 million people. You know, the media, David Aronovich and The Times and The Guardian and They Observer, they all want you to think it's two people and a dog. It was 10 million people.  No, they weren't. It's a big chunk of British soul society. And you're right, I think the fact that those people are now painted and presented as irrelevant, aren't allowed to basically be represented in public life, shows that we don't live in a democracy, shows that we live in effectively a one party state. Don't we? If 10 million people can't decide something politically, if they're not allowed to participate, they aren't viewed as legitimate actors. How can you say that's democracy? If they're not legitimate. How can you actually know that those views can't be represented by a major party in a general election? How's that a democracy in a meaningful sense? I think, look, I'm gonna be real as well, Michael. I think the question about who would be the best leader, Jeremy Corbyn should not be leading the Labour Party anymore. He had two cracks of the, it's true, right? He had two cracks of the whip. He was destroyed by the media. The man deserves a rest. He deserves a private life. People around him, his loved ones, his family, you can only do that for so long, right? So I don't think he should be leader and Keir Starmer shouldn't, but I think my God, it really does reflect on how poor the Starmer leadership is getting. And so quickly, Michael, so quickly, in October, he was sailing. He was sailing. And if you think about the six months period, he's had since then, I genuinely can't think of a politician who's done such a terrible job, such a U-turn in terms of approval ratings, rhetoric policies in six months. You might say, Joe Swinson, but I don't think she came in with kind of high ambitions and the media blowing smoke up harass. With Starmer, he came in and he had a really impressive beginning, really impressive four, five months. And then it's just capsized. This is like a rubber dinghy just turning upside down. Now he's in the freezing water. And Jeremy Corbyn's on a, you know, a shore nearby. He's going, Keir, let me help you out. And Keir Starmer's going, no, no. If you grab me, I'll drown.  This is the way out. Jeremy Corbyn's electoral coalition of 2019 was 10 million people billed on it. Don't dismantle it. I think that's such a good way of putting it. I mean, let's look at the overall results, actually. So this is a cross-age group. So who would make the best Labour leader, Keir Starmer or Jeremy Corbyn? All respondents, 45% say Keir Starmer, 38% say Jeremy Corbyn. Among women, it's really close. 42% say Keir Starmer, 40% say Jeremy Corbyn. Among men, there's a bigger gap. So 50% say Keir Starmer, 35% say Jeremy Corbyn. That's people who voted for Labour in 2019. Now, as you said, Aaron, this isn't an argument to say, oh, we should therefore make Jeremy Corbyn leader of the Labour Party again, because he is less popular among those voters than Keir Starmer. Also, of course, someone from Keir Starmer's team would be quite right to say, we don't only care about their popularity among 2019 Labour voters, we want to build out on that. We care about his popularity among 2019 Tory voters who might potentially come back to the party. That's all correct. That's quite right. The point I'm making, and I think you're making as well, Aaron, is that this might be a minority, but it's a very significant minority. And if you want to build on, exactly as you've put it, Aaron, if you want to build on that coalition and make a party and a platform, a movement that can defeat the Tories at the next general election, you're going to have to treat that significant minority with some respect. And I just say it would have been so, so easy for Keir Starmer to build on that. And instead, he's just put two fingers up at young people, put two fingers up at a huge proportion of Labour's core vote, and it's not going to turn out very well. At this moment, which of the following individual do you think would be the better Prime Minister for the United Kingdom? Boris Johnson, 50%. That's plus two. And Keir Starmer, 27% minus three. So that's since just a week ago, actually. So that's quite a recent change. And Johnson's lead of 23 points is his biggest since June 2020. There's a very real possibility the main local elections are going to be terrible for Labour. When I say terrible, I don't mean they're going to crash and lose loads of seats because 2017 wasn't great either. It was actually the low point for Corbynism when it came to local elections, but I don't think they'll do well in Metro, Maro elections. I don't think they'll do well in Wales and Scotland, particularly Scotland. And I think what will happen is that Starmer and the people around will blame Corbyn. They'll say, well, we haven't detoxified the party enough. I think that's kind of written in the stars. And Keir Starmer the other day said, we've come a long way, but we've still got a long way to go from the terrible defeat we had a year ago. Hold on a second. In 2019, Labour got 32% of the vote, right? In 2015, Labour got 30% of the vote. And yet Jeremy Corbyn, I think eight months into his leadership, you didn't give him that privilege. It was a worse defeat, Keir. It was a worse defeat in terms of percentages and in terms of losing Scotland. And you decided after eight months amongst 160, 70 of your colleagues that Jeremy Corbyn didn't deserve more time. And yet you're asking for more time. Again, double standard. Again, hypocrisy, which I think are actually things that can be leveled with a great deal of legitimacy when it comes to Keir Starmer. And there's a simple thing, which Jeremy Corbyn pulled off in 2017, which basically nobody can talk about, which is that in the 2015 election, there were 4 million, 3.9 million UKIP voters.  Everybody, right? If Labour could get 20% of them, great. I think in the final analysis, I think basically it broke the Tories two to one, not even that. So Labour, for every two Tory UKIP voters, they were getting from the 2015 lot. Labour were getting one, which was massive. That was the reason Labour did really so well. You know, yeah, increased turnout, yeah, younger people, but a really large number of former UKIP voters went Labour. And the party has no answer for that, because wait, he's critical of the default common sense on foreign policy. Wait, he doesn't hate immigrants. Wait, he wants to improve public services. These are all the things that we have been saying to ourselves and to the press and to our members for decades, which working class people, working class people don't want. And it actually goes back, Michael, to what we were talking about earlier, and I forgot about it, I want to bring it up, which is why was the media so obsessed with bringing Nigel Farage into the conversation over the last 15 years, was because they're so privileged and they're so immersed in like this, effectively aristocratic London-based society, it's a media aristocracy, it's about 1,000 people running the country, 10,000 people to borrow the kind of a metaphor which has been previously used in terms of how do you understand an establishment. And Nigel Farage was so convenient because you didn't actually have to give working class people or people from the regions or people who are vulnerable and ostracized a voice, you just gave it to Nigel Farage and he became this stand-in and this conduit for basically all the criticisms of the establishment and the status quo and the EU and Westminster and business as usual. And of course, that's one set of arguments, but there were a number of others, but they didn't want to do that because that'd be too much work. And so I think what Corbyn did in 2017 with winning so many UKIP voters over has screwed up so much of their common sense, Michael. And I think it's so profound and so deep that they've got no way back from it. You know, I think it would really mean them having to renounce some really core economic and political and intellectual commitments, which I don't think they're willing to do. Even somebody like Rachel Reeves, Johnny Reynolds, you know, they're clearly moving left when it comes to economic policy, but in terms of how they want to frame it, they believe, I think just as much as Kirstama, that people that voted UKIP in 2015 will never ever vote Labour. They voted Labour in 2017, right? And you've got to work out why and you've got to reproduce it. I don't think Kirstama's the man to do that. Sorry. I mean, they are trying to do that, aren't they? But they're just trying to do that with social conservatism as opposed to... That's the ambition, of course, yeah. Radicalism or isolationist foreign policy, whatever. They understand that's the problem, right? I mean, we agree, you need to impact those Tory voters in 2019 in these lead voting constituencies. Nobody's denying that's the problem. What's super strange is that, hold on, we have a baseline where that did happen in 2017, was pretty successful, and nobody wants to talk about it. And as long as Labour doesn't want to talk about 2017, they're not going to win anything. How can you? If you've got an example of, wow, we won 12.5 million votes, we increased our share of the vote by 9%, but no, of course it doesn't tell us anything remotely interesting or relevant or pertinent to how we can do it again. Are you kidding me?  And what's even more worrying, Michael, is that Kierstar, when he was asked about his poor ratings, he said, we lost the last election because of antisemitism. It was an issue. Labour didn't deal with it properly. Of course, communities didn't vote Labour because of it, but the toys didn't win because of antisemitism. Any data out there shows that's clearly incorrect. Clearly, it was Brexit. Yes, it was Corbyn's personal brand. It was in fighting. It was the fact that Boris Johnson was offering certainty about what happened straight after the general election. It was nothing to do with antisemitism. Yeah, maybe like 5% of people. 5% too many, by the way, but that's not the point. So if your analysis of why you've just lost is completely wrong and you're not willing to even countenance that this other thing where you did really well might have some relevance to what you're trying to achieve, you haven't got hope in hell. Like you're flying blind.


Hi guys, I'm the ancient hijack. I'm Ian, the iron hijack. I'm Joseph. I'm Katelyn, I'm the K. And hijack is not disbanding, it's just moving. But don't worry, it's gonna be right over there. We'll see it real soon. Right there. Right down the street. Right over there. So basically what's happening is the current channel will be changed to Jocat because I've been doing a lot of solo stuff as you may have noticed with the icon slowly morphing into the Jocat icon. Taking our jabs! So we're not breaking up, we're not disbanding, there was no drama, there was no like guys, my channel, get out of here, kick you out. We're all still here guys. We're all still here. Like we reached this agreement as a group. Yeah, and basically the reason for that was because I was doing a lot of solo stuff and the rest of the crew are not nearly as skilled or experienced as I am in making a video and that sounds bad, but that's the analysis. I'm so offended! Basically think of it like the channel is a sled and we're all sled dogs. Now I have been pulling different sleds all the time, however these guys have just started putting their paws in the snow and getting used to it. And I'm pulling the sled so hard that they're being drugged through the snow flopping around and though flopping around in the snow can be pretty fun. I've been enjoying myself. Sometimes I want to pull a sled in a certain direction and they can't keep up so maybe give them their own sled and let them go at their own pace. So the new channel will be kicking off with a new show, which will be called... What? Do we have a name for it? The hijack versus fight club? I like fight club. You can't see it but I'm dabbing. And that's where the hijack crew will go head to head to head to head sometimes. To head to head? There's one more head.  And the first video will be out by the time you watch this right there on the screen. You can see it. I can't!   In fact here's a little preview. Eat! Eat! Consume! Consume! It does heal. That's so funny.  Oh, bye! So long, give us! Yeah, wasn't that cool? That's when you did that thing with the, you know... Oh yeah, that was my favorite part. What about when he... Yeah, that was a good... So, good gift. What's going to happen with the videos is some of them are going to be moving to the new channel. So we're moving, it builds character, wonderful world building, and the overly edited videos that contain more than one person, i.e. me. So the solo ones are me. But the crap guides, the character creator critique, and all the solo purely Joe Cat overly edited will be staying, but they'll be called something else now. I don't know what because I'm bad at games. Joe Cat plays. Yeah, super generic. That's basically what happening. Subscribe to the new channel. Join us on the other side! Oh, and also we'll be releasing the new, the backlog of newest videos, and then we'll be re-uploading all the previous ones as time goes on before it catches up. So in short, hijack is dead, buy gold, live forever, dab. And we'll see you then. Okay. Hijack is dead. It's not dead, it's not dead. Alright, good. Bye. Our Twitter handle finally makes sense.


Hi everyone, welcome to basic sign series. I'm your host Lokinder Kumar and today I'm going to make a video on protein and data bank Before we start using pi mole because this series will be everything We will know everything about pi mole that in this series I'm going to make videos on how to use pi mole how to make Publication quality figures in pi mole how to understand ligand interactions how to label amino acids in pi mole But before that we need to understand Protein and data bank first. So as you can see on your computer screen. So this is How protein data bank homepage look like there is a search tab here? so Here you can search the protein of interest that you want to work on and There are various other features I will not go into the detail of this particular homepage But I will go into the detail of the proteins Structural information about the proteins and functional information about the protein So let's start the tutorial by entering the name of the protein. For example I want to download the structure of a protein last are So see Domino surgeon osa is the name of the organism and last are is the name of the protein So you can also type last are directly So let me type last are and it's going to give you a lot of information. So you can also select From from these particular options that are available. For example, if I select the first Particular option that was given to me and now I can see these are the Structures that are available for that particular protein So this is very important point that for one particular protein you can you can get multiple structures So it depends upon The The type of the structures that you want to use for example many proteins have multi-domains So you can get various Various different different domains as a separate PDB structure You can get various conformation of the protein as a separate PDB structure So that depends upon your requirement. So you will get a lot of different different output results but I am interested in a particular Particular crystal structure and and for that I know the code. So this is Basically the code for that particular crystal structure. It's a four-letter code and when you start working on particular protein you need to remember this particular code so that you can mention that code in your research article and You should always work on that particular Particular code so that because the information will be very specific for your For your crystal structure. All right, so the code for my protein is Do you we zero? So I'm tapping to you be zero. So that's the Code for my particular protein Which is last freedom in our series, you know, so last are ligand and binding domain Okay, so let's see what kind of information We actually got from this particular search result. You can see it gives you the the four letter specific unique four letter code Then it gives you the the name of the protein, right? It gives you the structure of pseudomonas aeruginosa bound with auto inducer so auto inducer is the ligand present inside the protein and There are also Additional information for example, it gives you the name of the organism as already mentioned By me that the organism is pseudomonas aeruginosa and what is PA o1 PA o1 is the name of the strain Now you have expression system Expression system means the Organism that was used to purify that particular protein in this case you have E. Coli BL 21 as an expression system classification is another important parameter that I missed that classification tells you that What is the main function of this particular protein? So it is a signaling protein that is Responsible for the transcription of its genes so transcription is the main classification area then you get Important information about the crystal structure here. You can see the resolution 1.80 and our values information Then you have further the article information and The author information and you can also search this particular article by clicking on this particular link so you get most of the information about this structure on the on the structure summary page and Now let's move on to the second tab, which is 3d view in 3d view So it's more like pi mole Pi mole, but It doesn't give you a lot of a lot of control over over various things So that is why we use separate software for analysis, but it is also really good molecular graphic system and you can get a lot of information extracted from this particular 3d viewer of the PDB. So I'm gonna make this window much bigger and I'm gonna explain you what are these are these things. These are the sequences These are the name of the amino acids one letter code of amino acid and as you can see When I click on this one I get information here on the lower right corner of my screen about the amino acid So you can see while I'm moving I can get an information. So which is pretty convenient now I'm seeing four Domains so you can see four different colors. So they are four domains of the protein But in this particular protein The protein was purified as tetramer. So all the domains basically are same and What what what are the options that are available for you? you can see on the right side that you can show water molecules these red drop these small spheres are the water molecule if I click on this one and then the water molecules are No longer available in the crystal structure, then you have Ligand if I want to hide the ligand Now you can see that there is a difference But I can show you by hiding the overall structure of the protein now you can see if I hide everything And then one by one I can show you you can see ligands. So these are the ligands present in the In the protein structure, then I can show you the polymer and now you can see the polymer Which is protein or polypeptide in this case? So This is a 3d viewer and it gives you a good idea about the three dimensional structure of the protein If you are not using pie mold and you want to have a quick view of the 3d structure of protein It can have other options. You can also export the image by clicking on this particular Dab here, which is a kind of a shutter icon here, right? So you can also have some of the settings So you can change the background if I want to change the background to green or blue or dark black or Or some other colors, but white is the best option for one three figures. You can also change the Finishing you can see this is more metallic finishing. So your structure will look more Beautiful and catchy when you use these different different settings But anyways, one of the important thing that we're going to use In pie mold also is clipping clipping Cleaves the part of the protein and then you can no longer see that particular section of the protein So this is You can you if you can see that Some of the part of the protein is no longer is Available because I clipped that part of the protein, but anyways, we're gonna use those particular settings in the pie mold. So after Understanding the 3d viewer of PDB. Let's move on to the annotations Annotations so you'll get gene annotations protein annotations from this particular web page and They they are all the links that you can click and get the information about the annotations Then the sequence. It's really important Sequence you can get the faster faster file sequence Of that particular protein if you click on faster sequence, you will immediately download a faster file I'll show you how it looked like so it will look like the the alphabetical order of the amino acids in the protein sequence so that's the faster sequence of the protein and as you can see this is also very very informative Figure you can see in this case. It's a two-dimensional Structural information of the protein where you can see these are the alpha helix so this is also very useful information about the structure of the protein and Then the last step is the experiment experiment tab provides you all the details that would use to purify the protein Also to perform the crystal structural analysis, you can see during diffraction. What are the parameters that were used? And you can see during the crystallization experiment. What are the parameters that were used? So if you are trying to purify this protein and trying to do Structural analysis of this protein this page is really really helpful for you Alright, so if I go back to the home page on the home page You can see it provides the general information about the latest structures that are available in the PDB it also provides the molecule of the month in this case you can see it's a spike protein and And You can also see various other Additional tools that PDB provides. This is PDB 101 webpage of the protein data website which provides you exciting things for example various things for high school students so that they can Get attracted towards this this kind of research So there are various tools that you can you can explore in this particular website So lastly, we are going to know how to download the file and we are going to use that file for the PiMole sessions. Okay, so you can you can see this is the tab This is the most important tab that you're gonna use Frequently if you're using PiMole and if I click on this tab I can download faster sequence that I've already shown you the PDB protein data bank format which is the three-dimensional coordinates of the atoms and This is the format that we want to download to understand the functioning of PiMole, so I'm gonna click on this one and Immediately after clicking I will see a file is getting downloaded and this file The name of the file is the name of the four-letter code of the particular protein if I click on this one and You are going to see PiMole window open immediately on your computer and you can see this is the default view of the protein and From here, I'm going to start the PiMole tutorials So I'm going to show you how to make Structures, what are the different components that you're seeing right now on your computer screen and what are the functions of all those? components, so Stay tuned till I present you the next next video where I'm going to show you all those interesting Functions of PiMole and if you like the video, please press the like button and I'll see you in the next video


Condemnation is not of God. Conviction is of God. Condemnation tells you that you are a mistake. Conviction tells you that you made a mistake. Condemnation pushes you away from God in shame and fear. Conviction draws you to God in repentance and humility. When we don't meet the standard of righteousness, the Holy Spirit convicts us of this reality. And when He comes, He will convict the world of its sin and of God's righteousness and of the coming judgment. But after you've been forgiven and have dealt with the issue, you need to move on. So now, there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus.


Thanks for checking out this movie review video This is for the shutter original 2020 release anything for Jackson And it will be available on the shutter streaming service starting Thursday, December 3rd Since I'm putting this movie review out before it hits shutter and since it's a new film There will be no spoilers in this review. Just so you know So this one is directed by Justin G dick And written by Keith Cooper now these individuals work together It looks like on a lot of projects prior to doing this one and mainly what their IMDB credits are are something You wouldn't expect and that is made for TV Christmas movies So it's the right time of year for them to be releasing this film, but it's very different But I'm all for that. I think it's great. I think it's people shouldn't have to be pigeonholed You know, we don't know what the situation is Maybe it's a situation where these people wanted to get into film But this was the only tow-hold they could find was these made for TV Christmas movies at least to get us get going While they worked on other stuff. So maybe they just want to branch out any time anyone's Coming into the horror genre, especially in this way. I'm all for it. And I will say, you know with that comment I think anything for Jackson is definitely worth checking out It's got it kind of goes into stuff. That's that's used a decent amount in horror film already But it's got its own take to it and that's mainly what I look for if you're gonna do a theme or a premise That's been well-worn. Please throw in something new. Please throw in a little twist of your own and they do that They definitely do that with this film. It's not an amazing film by any any, you know, stretch of the imagination But it is quite solid. I think it's a nice film that should definitely be watched. I'm I'm for it All right, so quick synopsis I don't want to give too much away on this because the less, you know, the better in my opinion So all I'm gonna say is an elderly couple lost their grandchild and They go to certain lengths to try to see if they can get that child back and things don't go well So that's as vague as I can be that's and I want to be vague because I don't like you just experience it It is much better that way You'll probably recognize Julian Richings in this film. He's actually been in a lot of stuff in very small roles He has 213 acting credits actually and the woman who acts opposite him Sheila McCarthy She has a hundred and thirty six IMDB acting credits so both of them very Very well Versed in acting and it shows in this film really they are the focal points of the film and They do a very good job. I mean, I think the film really sells Not just on the premise but on their delivery of the premise and they're acting and Reacting to what's going on in the film. I like them quite a bit in this their performances Very very cool Things go from normal to not so normal with an attention catch Something that catches your attention very quickly very early in the film like very early in the film within like the first minute Or so I love it when films do that. It's that attention grab There are some quirky dark comedic moments that are darkly funny and don't detract from a simultaneously Sinister atmosphere now that's not something that's easy to do in my opinion where you have comedy thrown in there and It kind of maintains a dark sinister atmosphere at the same time There are so many times where someone will throw comedy into a horror film and it just it's like a speed bump And everyone feels it when you're watching the film and it takes you out of what's really going on this film It's interesting because they're able to make things funny But it's like dark comedy, but at the same time you never leave that feeling of kind of like dread and darkness So it's well scripted is I guess what I'm trying to get at most The score is a very minimal for this one It kind of feel at times like there should be a little bit more just in certain moments But other than that other than just a few brief times It actually feels very refreshing to not have a whole lot of music for it to be very restrained But also in certain points to have no music at all if you have watched enough of my reviews you know I made big proponent of not going to over the top with scores or In certain instances just using silence and letting people kind of feel things out my only in my only issues in certain parts with this film is there will be large stretches of no music when It's not anything tense or all that interesting going on It's more just like some normal type character interactions, which that's the that's not the moment where There's the most impact for no score to be there But it's just a few of those moments and overall love how restrained the score is and love Certain stretches of no music being used in it There's a pretty good looking surprise about 25 minutes into this film So look for that didn't see it coming looks great And that's another thing to talk about is that the practical effects are pretty good because you can tell this is a very Low-budget it's very easy to tell so it's a super low-budget film And at that 25 minute mark where that surprise pops in it kind of marks a change in the trajectory of the film Which is good because I kind of saw it going a certain way up until then and then it had this thing happened and things Switched for me, and I was like, okay I see where this is going now, and I think that's a better premise So I'm glad we've taken this path going forward, so I'm for it You can tell this is a Larry Larry a very low-budget film But there's some creative choices made that still deliver the scares pretty well Camera work in particular helps a lot in those types of instances Movement with the camera work how they frame things Really really does help to kind of ratchet things up with a low-budget where You know if you had a higher budget You would probably go bigger on the practical effects or go bigger on the scares or the CGI or anything like that, but You know I think they get very creative and do a good job with how low-budget this seems Now that said there is a little bit of CGI here and there and they do the smart thing with use of CGI for low-budget films Which is? Quick you know show it quickly don't let people really focus on it because that starts to not look all that real You start to see some issues with it So they're very quick moments, and you don't see any problems. They kind of seamlessly fit in there I like that at about the 50 minute mark my favorite surprise scene happens and Look out for that It shouldn't be funny, but the acting and the way they do it they pull it off is funny Now when I say it shouldn't be funny I don't mean that it messes up the film and it was a mistake I mean that it's something that you find funny and are supposed to find funny But you also feel like I shouldn't really be you know finding this funny, but it is funny the way they pulled it off so Good work there When more backstory ends up being addressed in this it increases a feeling a feeling of mixed emotions Concerning certain characters, and that is a good thing. It's good to be Conflicted with a film like this and you definitely do feel conflicted because you see a few different Sides of a coin well there would really only be two so how about I say a few different sides of a dice How about that one? There's a really cool shot that involves a mirror in this so watch out for it It's in a kitchen scene and that doesn't spoil anything It really is during a kind of you know lull in in you know The scares and the tension and all that type of stuff It's just a very cool looking shot And I think it shows an awesome flash of style which you get from time to time in this so the directing there's some very inspired moments of the director and With like with a lot of this film it makes me want to see where we go from here with these filmmakers You know give them a larger budget Get some more experience under their belt with horror films. I'm very interested to see where this goes There's a quote, and I'm not I'm gonna start the quote, but I'm not gonna finish it So remember this and then when you watch the film and you hear the end of this quote You'll know what I'm talking about. I love this quote It starts you can't make a moral argument with me dot dot dot dot You can't make a moral argument with me dot dot dot dot. Okay. Look for that quote. Love that quote made me laugh Are you talking to CGI? I do and do not like the ending of this film The idea of what happened in the end I think is good But I think in the way it was kind of pulled off it felt a little anticlimactic and I think part of the reason may be because it's stretches out a little bit longer than I think it needed to go If they would have done it a little more fast and frantic, I think the tension would have been up a little bit more but Because it was a bit slower and things more things happened between point A and B with the ending It really slowed things down and it kind of took me out of out of it a little bit So I think they could have tightened that up a little bit better So like I said, like I like what happened It just if it was executed a little bit differently, it could have been great as opposed to decent The main theme here is how hard it is for people to deal with and accept loss Which I'm sure you guys could probably guess based off of the small synopsis. I gave with this film There's also a theme of how people will consider going to extremes to achieve what they desire most That's a well-worn theme in horror And the last thing final theme is consequences because there are always Consequences and I like the consequences in this There's some clever stuff in this film and overall I like the story and like I was saying it's it's well-worn territory, but it's got its own panache to it and Yeah, I you know, you have to stand up and kind of clap to a degree for something like that So like I said, it's not a perfect film. It's not amazing or anything like that But I would say it's definitely worth watching and like I said, I want to see where these filmmakers go from here Hopefully they get more opportunities from here So People check it out and maybe that would help out with getting them some more opportunities Once again, Justin G. Dick and Keith Cooper. So out of five stars with half stars in play So I'm between three stars and three and a half stars and I think I Feel like I want to go more with the three star because that seems more appropriate for me Um, but know that if I was doing quarters, I definitely do do 3.25 and also know that I considered the three and a half I was kind of Really tough to to make up my mind on that I am pretty impressed with some of the creative things that they did in order to get around budgetary stuff So, uh, give these people a larger budget next next People who decide to fund their project, please and don't make them go back to christmas movies. Don't Let's keep these people in the horror realm. We could use them as some some promising looking new blood Coming into the horror realm. So anyway, uh, very interested to see what everyone out there thinks of this film When you see it or if you already have go ahead and some and comment down here about it We can talk about it spoilers and the comments go ahead and we'll get nerdy Do me quick favor though hit that subscribe button. It helps me out greatly with the channel I'm just trying to build a community of horror loving people here We can have more conversations in the comments sections of all these videos And if you are going to do me that favor and subscribe Which literally takes you a second. It's very painless Also hit that notification bell button because then that way you know whenever i'm putting up a new review Doing a live stream doing an unboxing or any of the other random videos I put up But regardless, uh, thank you for checking this out and until next time keep it brutal


I ankle up and trying to put weight towards my head. Okay. Again, if this guy really knows what he's doing in a far ankle position Sure, I kind of understands the dynamics of what's trying to go on now This is what I want you to think about doing and you can set this up and do it on your own One of our guys Joey laser. He's all American for you and I like probably one of more innovative scramble minds that I've been around Other than roper He's up at he's up at you and I but he was doing a lot of stuff like just kind of winging it And when he got to you and I Doug Schwablet there and the coach was just like we're gonna try to change what you're doing Instead of just embracing what he was good at he pinned Cal day in high school with like a backdrop like he was very unorthodox But he had a very high level of success. All right, but this was a position that he baits a lot of people in So what he does is he actually uses his elbow to clear out this leg?    All right. This looks like it won't work It really works. All right, especially if that guy's pulling up real hard on your ankle When you're trying to kick the foot or kick the hand off your foot. Don't try to find his arm You'll never find it. Just try to find your foot and kick down beside your foot Just find your find your leg and just kick down beside your foot. You'll get his arm every time. Okay, so We're in this far ankle position and again I can either set it up or maybe he's beating me and my head's down and I got to dig out right here And I dig out I'm just posting on my head digging behind the knee and as he keeps pulling up on this foot He really creates the situation on his own See, I'm swimming here Trapping everything in my armpit pushing off this foot now when I'm upside down I just find my leg right here kicked down by my foot. It's all I'm doing and then I'm using this momentum to sit up Trapping in my armpit both arms and wrestle through that position. Okay, so halfway fast All right, and again, we're just battling in position and I'm making adjustments here Battling maybe I'm pushing into him. He tries to step up right here. Okay, maybe I end up here Now don't kick his foot off Right back to where we were a second ago, right when we sat through and splitting weight on my feet head and chest up Bottom shoulder wrestle through that position.  You're gonna be There's very small percentage of guys in the country at your age that know any of this stuff or that Jeff trained it enough Consistently to know what to do in these positions, right? So you put some time and effort into it get some comfort level with it pretty dull on dangerous questions Anybody to see it again one more time. All right Okay, so again most important thing is clearing out with my outside elbows So the first time you do it all I want you to do is this just lean over clear out far ankle Okay, post your head on the mat free foot push up in the air Dig with your elbow and then roll through all at one time I don't even care if you don't get him off your foot But I want you to feel this finish position and the rest is easy We've been here a bunch. Okay, and then you can focus on kicking the foot off sitting up splitting all that stuff go


The blessings upon us are immense in the short time that we have together here today that we hope that Allah will put us in a state of Tereco because this is the way of the believers to constantly be in a state where we are reminded and we take reminders and we learn lessons from everyone and everything that is happening around us and because this is such a dear community to our heart I wanted to share something to you that with you that impacted me greatly and I don't normally read in this way from something that is written but because it affected me and there are so many beloved people too in this community that I call it also has the same impact upon you and the backdrop to this email interaction was with someone that we wanted to invite for a program and this was her response and her way of saying that she was unable to be there and we want to use this as a gateway to the brief comments that we want to make about prophetic optimism and how our prophet was, so Allah is telling him in relation to maintaining hope, in relation to taking good moments in relation to being positive, in relation to having that true prophetic optimism about the future so in this email this was her response and I will just read I am actually drowning here, your duads are requested we have started up many projects and yet there are so few people that can truly carry them we find ourselves having to multitask and teach that we can programs that in the Muslim class at the home co-operative my daughter attends at a weekly class for general Muslims take care of children on a daily basis at the kindergarten they open help with the children during the events we brought lecture events, support and give counsel to sisters going through divorce, marriage or break down health problems, dot dot dot each time I prepare someone to take over a role in the work we are doing here that I have been getting married and leave the city are expecting children so they have to stay at home are simply very tired and wary of the project they have been given we ask Allah for milk, I mean we live in a time where very few will sacrifice the teachings that change the course of our lives seem to only inspire people in the moment they love the idea of being for those that serve Allah yet life is strength and courage to divorce the world their mortgages, careers, carvers, homes, children are dear to them they simply cannot live as this work requires them to live they justify the way of life through giving and charity when they can attending courses and lectures from time to time and giving dowry to their colleagues at work their hidden allies and following their interests whether it be the study of Islamic medicine designing modest clothing, cooking prophetic foods and liquor-free the list goes on these are blessed Muslims for they are aware that life must live upon the Allah unless they live upon this but they live upon it on their own terms they have no inclination to do what really needs to be done we are in a time in which our sons and daughters are being lost to drugs, alcohol, fornication and even worse the actual loss of faith we have a lot of protection for us in our offspring despite this no one is interested in saving humanity they are only interested in saving themselves we find ourselves in the midst of madness through this work, this papyrus, this poor and proper soul has yet to understand the way of my teachers to give love and not to give orders for the people of this age cannot do what is asked of them they desire only to be loved by their teachers and not to be asked to serve the doubt what their teachers serve so power of love, one of my teachers told me give love more than you give the sacred law because no one wants to hear for the most part about God's commands they only want to care about love the parts of the people of our time are weak it is taking me 10 years to understand these words the people of God that uphold the truth in the spirit of the sahaba who sacrificed their homes, their wealth, their children and their very selves as they spoke of the battlefield as they made the migration from Latifah taking nothing but the love of Allah and his messenger and provisions as they built the mountains those in the spirit of that Iyad Allah was Allah who caused them to declare being my very being he sacrificed for the own messenger of Allah this is the spirit that is rare amongst people the majority arm has the donkeys and a manger please only when his master drinks and more he eats the increase of their rage and promotion the security of their jobs this is what fills the majority of the joy they earnestly work to seek stability in this world and turn their entire being towards this lovely goal the world is their kibla and so their lives are directed towards it and they are in complete circumnavulation their lives revolving around their economic stability blessed to be among the two men who set the Muslims during their graves 300 people with their messenger of Allah sent them on the field of battle with four horses between them a few swords and sticks and stones but they had a faith that was so formidable that they fought like supermen where they strength did not come from their bodies but where they strength that came from their souls souls illuminated with the light of truth and how you all are and our teachers this spirit is alive and we tasted it and fell in love with it we were sincere in wanting to kneel Allah's messenger to be in the presence of the righteous we placed allegiance to this path that laid our hearts bare in front of Allah as purely poor and accomplished people that would be in the service of this truth and being as our teachers are those that give their flesh their blood their lives and raising the banner of this great truth we were ordered to these lands to plant seeds and we're so naive to think that he who plant seeds is easy to think that the Jaffa who plant seeds is easy on my last night before going home one of my teachers told me if you can't plant seeds then plow so that the land is fertile enough for the next generation to plant seeds if you can't plant seeds then plow plow the land so it is fertile enough for the next generation to plant seeds and so we plow and we plow and we plow but my goodness the way of this path is so extreme for the people of our life ourselves we find that our feet and our hands are bleeding and until we have a long side as people that bear this spirit of sacrifice we will have to carry this work alone and because of them that we do not pray under this weight by Allah this will be of use their support we are scattered around the earth we know we need to help each other bear the weight of this work we are a brethren bonded by a secret that we were given in sacred lands and then she goes on to say is that this is why she wasn't able to attend I love her quote this is someone who understands the purpose of life this is someone who understands the essential message that our Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is that he not only inspired but instilled into the companions of our Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam by Allah these are the meanings that is going to determine our quality as a believer this is what's going to determine that who we are is that the way that we stand in relation to these meanings but one of the ways of our Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is to teach us that we have to be people of work we have to be people that are ready to roll up our sleeves and to be in it until we take our very last breath and one of the things that our Prophet taught us is to have unfettered optimism in light of the worst situations possible and if we look at the life of our Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is that we find that these meanings are all interconnected optimism, hope, positivity, taking good omens and then accompanying that with hard work and our Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is that his optimism was different than other people's optimism because it was revealed, it was rooted in revelation it was rooted in relation to whether his Lord found a way to show him about the future and that we know that he was given knowledge about what was going to happen in the future but it is by virtue of our connection to him and our belief in him is that we believe in the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and that we believe that people have hope in the dunya people that don't share a leaf is that their hope is restricted to this world while our hope is rooted in our Lord Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and belief in him and related to our ultimate return run to him Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam this world will never be a utopia if anyone thinks that it is is that they are deceived always be in the state that it is and yes that just as we are required to do the work that we have to do while we are here in this world is that we simultaneously have to be detached from that and to realize is that what really is going to remain is what we do for his sake Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam khulu shayneh hadekun illa wajhab one of the meanings of that is is that all of the deeds that we do are perishing except that which was done solely and sincerely for his sake Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and if you look at the life of our Prophet is that you will find and the most compromising of times is that our Prophet would give the Sahaba immense glad tidings think about how he would pass by Ahmad Ibn Yasum and his Blessed Mother Somalia and their blessed family and he would see them being brutally persecuted and he knew that there was nothing that he could do except give them true hope and Allah have patience oh family of Yasum is that your trist is paradise this is when it's going to really all come to the surface and people will do anything they would do anything where they could see the station of Yasum of Ahmad Ibn Yasum and his father and his Blessed Mother Anyam al-Qiyamah they would wish to come back and to go through everything that they went through here in this dunya likewise our Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam and the Blessed Hidr we all know the story that I'm connecting it to this prophetic optimism about which we are speaking is that as he does everything that he did during the Hidr taking all of the means and it is here when the bounty was placed on his head and one of those who was previously a criminal coming to chase him down because they wanted that bounty of us that meagerly 100 camels for the first of creation Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is that we know the story of Soraka and after the miracle happened he realized this was a prophet and believed in him but what did our Prophet tell him that he says is that how will it be when you are wearing the bracelets of the King of Persia he's going on this route precisely because he's trying to avoid people from capturing him or taking his life Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam but while he's in this state he's giving someone glad tidings that he's going to wear the bracelets of the King of Persia think about what our Prophet was instilling in the companions and one of the most salient examples of this is in the battle of Khandak in the battle of the trench that we've all read about and we've all heard about but it's time for us to start living the lessons of these battles we don't want this to be read in historical fashion yes there's an element of history to it but the whole purpose of these stories is to inspire you and I we want to be like them it's like one of the great imams of our deen is that used to work really hard to the extent that his mother worried about him he was doing so much spiritual struggle he was studying so much his mother came to complain to his teacher and he said to his teacher Khandak said take it easy do what it is that you can do and to know rely upon the bounty of Allah inshallah you receive the intercession of the Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam but what was his response to his teacher he says that I know that many of the great people of this ummah is that some of them will be raised as an ummah as Allah describes the Prophet Abraham there will be those that have a banner in their head in Yomul Qiyamah that they're the means for people to enter into paradise because they interceded for them he said I don't want to enter under someone else's banner although everyone wants to enter under the banner of Sayyidina Muhammad but by extension he says I want to have my own banner and he says if that is your intention they keep doing what it is that you are doing our Prophet in this battle of Khandak adds that the largest arming arabian peninsula ever had been amassed against them 10,000 people against the companions and they build a trench to defend themselves and they came to Iraq that our Prophet Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam after setting the line and drawing it with his own blessed hand and staff Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam is that when they were unable to dig those boulders out that they came back to the Prophet and told him about it and he didn't tell them to dig around and he himself went to the place because he'd set the line of where to do and then is that he hit it three times with his staff and there's different narrations one of them says the first time that he struck that there was a flash of light like lightning and he said there's a level of 50 hunt fatus Persian has been opened up for me and then the second strike and the second third of that boulder was pulverized Allah wu akbar Futu khatli that room room was open for me and then according to this narration is that he struck it a third time when the entire rock became pulverized and he says Allah wu akbar is that Allah ta'ala has made him one of the largest tribes of the Arab island in Sa'ban the people that would help and give victory to this cause these and there are many many many many other examples of our prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is that he instilled these meanings in the companions and one of the reasons that optimism is so important is because it relates very subtly to the choices that we make as an individual in other words is that if you look at the opposite which is pessimism if we are pessimistic the worst thing that can happen and the worst thing that can arise from that pessimism is not doing the work that we're meant to do because the nature of the human being we become despondent we become lazy that when we're overwhelmed with pessimism and so our prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that we have clear narrations that indicate this is that he didn't like tiyar al sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he didn't like taking bad omens and by extension that he didn't like people that were in a pessimistic state and that he liked fa'al and tathawud that he liked optimism sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he wanted us to take good omens and extending it and extrapolating meanings from that is that he was very well aware of the subtleties of the way that we work as human beings and that is when we have hope which is closely related to optimism is that this is what allows us to know what it is that we do it is the fuel for that soul that will drive us to do whatever it is that we can do and look at the principle of Sayyidina Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam the hadith that we've all heard that's narrated in the Muslim Imam Ahmad is that if the day of judgment comes upon one of you and he has in his hand a fasilah a seed let him plant that seed even if he's not going to be there to bear fruit upon that commanded us to do the work even if there was no hope for that to bear fruit in this world what is he teaching us sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Allah but one of the most subtle means is his arm around the love of the heart is that the way that we interact with our Lord and what is the intention behind what we do we as believers simultaneously have to have high hope that there be fruits for our work so we be completely detached from the fruit in result of our work it very well might be is that no one responds to anything that we do the sacrifices that we make is that we don't see bringing about any benefit at least apparently at the surface level however is that if you dig much deeper and to understand the meanings behind those who actually uphold this work they're much deeper they're of a cosmic nature and they relate to the upholding of the world in and of itself just out of Allah will remove this world when the last spirit of the believer is taken likewise is the case especially with the righteous those who are the khulafa of Allah on this earth but these are lofty meanings is that we have to aspire to and that we have to understand that our Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not tell us about these meanings he realized their importance and he realized is that is that what it relates to in terms of what happens when they're lost in an individual and from everything that has been said I want to examine now the words of our Prophet did again that we've all heard but look what he says and this is the narration of Sahih Hussein the Hadith about his Ajaban that it's amazing and the Amr al-Khul al-Ukhair his affair is all good but in this narration what he said Wa-maa-daqa illa le-mu'min but that is only for the mu'min he didn't say here Muslim and you study in theology the interrelationship between Islam and Imam and someone who's a mu'min and a Muslim and at one level they're synonyms and they're interchangeable but another level depending on how it's used here this is related to a higher degree this is someone who truly believes in other words what our Prophet is teaching us is that we have to be a believer and not only have general faith but have that move into experiential faith which translated into a world view and we interpret in every single moment the situation in hand in a way that is pleasing to our Lord Subhanahu wa Ta'ala so that we're going to talk about a cure for pessimism or any of those other things that were mentioned negativity and taking back omens and so forth and so on and that it starts with faith and it starts with taking our deans seriously and learning how we can strengthen our faith because the stronger our faith is the more that we'll believe in the promise of Allah and the more that we have that otherworldly impulse within ourselves flourishing and driving us towards work for the afterlife is that the more that we will move away from the meanings of despair and pessimism and then there's other things that we can do as well is that we can make sure is that when we talk about things is that we need to mitigate our discussions of evil in Rome with dua if you're watching a news segment and that you feel bad after what you should if you see that much of what is shown to us in the news is that we should in a very serious way and I'm not joking a minute after to make dua it takes time after of ever that concern that you have is good but if it's not a company by action what is the real benefit of it and if you don't do it right after at least at two hundred time or in the morning when you wake up or some other time to the extent that we're exposed to these types of things you have to also follow up with dua and doing something about it at least dua and actually dua is also the heart of the affair also is that we have to be very careful to get ourselves in pro bon conversations even with our friends about subjects that are subjects of darkness because if you focus too much on evil and darkness it brings darkness to your heart and this is something that I think about all of my teachers from beginning to end one of the things that take homes is that every time you are with them you leave with a renewed spiritual operation you renew you leave uplifted and you relieve their presence that with a spiritual boundary that has been charged and you're ready to go and you're ready to put roll your sleeves up and get to work across the board is that this is one of the things I've noticed consistently with the people of Allah is that they don't like to dwell on evil is that yes we need to assess the situation and optimism it does not mean that we are naive nor does it mean that we look at things uncritically nor does it mean is that we're unsophisticated nor does it mean that we're debilitated on the contrary is that what we have to understand is while we also see things as they are we understand the situation of the affairs most importantly of all is that we do the work and this is what our prophet is teaching us in all of these lesson narrations that teach us about the importance of optimism madad at least of peace wajtaawfiruqwar wajtaawfiruqwar As-Sulah as-Sulaiman sallallahu wa sallam wajtaawisyat wa as-Salaam wa sallam wa sallam wa sallam wa sallam wa sallam wa sallam wa sallam wa sallam wajtaawisyat I'm not bad, yeah, you got a lot in me, you see, go on and see, yeah, yeah, you talk a lot. Alhamdulillah, the affair that is upon our shoulders is great and it is serious. And when we realize our responsibility that it weighs heavy on us and it should and the sign that we feel that it's heavy means is that we've understood something of what it means to be a believer. And we think back in this pre-earthly covenant that we've taken with our Lord, Supreme Lord, and this amana and trust which was sown to the heavens and the earth and the mountains and they refused to bear it and they were fearful of it, but the human being assumed it. It is to the degree that we understand the gravity of this affair and we understand our own himmah is that we've been created for a purpose and for a duty is that it will lead to him which is concern and is to the degree that we have concern is that we will have what is called himmah and all three of these words are linguistically related and to the degree that we have that spiritual aspiration will lead to the degree that we do the work that we need to do and the blessing of this all is is that how could it be anything other than good as our Prophet informed us sallallahu alaihi wa sallam when you think about the reward that a lot of mother koha ta'ala has in store for the believer when allah ta'ala that gives the believers their gifts on yomu qiyamah and then we enter into paradise and we experience the bliss of every moment of paradise which increases exponentially the summation of the next moment is better than a summation of all of the other previous moments and this goes on until eternity it just keeps getting better and better and better and better and we know that allah has been paradise by the aimerat that which no eye has seen no ear has heard nor that which has even come to the heart of a human being how could we anything other than inspire and in closing when in relation to we all know what today is you can see what i'm saying in light of today as well as in light of anything else that happens in your life we're talking religious principles at this point is that when i explain this to my teachers that about some of the concerns of the muslim qiyam iqsa la taqafu al khayr buq bil aliq do not have any fear good is coming to you it doesn't mean that there's going to be hardship but the believer is enlightened and part of his enlightenment is understanding that precisely any challenges are the greatest of opportunities and when you understand that how could you be anything other than optimistic and how could you be anything other than also amazed like our prophet was and think about why was our prophet amazed why was he amazed of the affair of the believer is because he realized sallallahu alayhi wa sallam which is important for us to tap into the way he had his top any sallallahu alayhi wa sallam as that everything was from Allah everything ultimately is from Allah and this is why that this very issue ties to these issues that relate to the very essence of our imam and it's only when our imam becomes strong and we can overcome many of these shackles that are literally preventing other people from higher degrees of practice of this Dean is that we will then move into that these levels of closest to our Lord subhanahu wa ta'ala may Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala give us to a big him this in the law of sallallahu alayhi wa sallam I say in this name the We have to know Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to give us all the optimism, we have to know Subhanahu wa Ta'ala to give us true hope, we have to have a positive outlet, we have to follow the Sunnah of our Prophet ﷺ in all our different affairs, we will inspire every single one of us to be able to be in the service of not only our kingdom and all of humanity and make the life of our Prophet ﷺ be that is which that we that judge everything and the things through which we see everything and the inspiration for which is that it is the inspiration for everything that we do. May Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala give us to be in all different affairs, bless our family and our children and our communities and blesses with the very best of results and the end of results and may all our endings all be good. I will say in the next life, La ilaha illallah, ma hurmah al-Mus'ulna to fully actualize its meanings in moving out of the abodee, aboukum Allah, nasir al-akhum Allah, innAllah li'l abdu bi'ad-dh-dh-sani, wa ikhain al-fura'a, man ha'ha na'ka'a shahari, wa ad-dun, munkari wa ba'li,
