و بخيرا لك أخ و بخيرا لنا و بخيرا لك لكم ورحمة الله و بركاته و بكم على أسئلة جيدة مع أخونا محمد شياء سيد حسين قزويني يتحدثنا بنا اليوم لتتتحدث عن بيوغرفة العمام عليهد هادي على الأجهزة حديثة السلام عليكم بسلام عليكم الحمد لله عرم العالم بكثير العمام عليهد بسبيل الله كان في مدينة المدينة في المدينة المدينة في المدينة المدينة وكان يدفع name Ali which was the most beloved name for the Ahl al-Bayt بسبيل الله وكان يدفع that the Imam resembled the eloquence in speech and the piety of Imam Al-Sajjad بسبيل الله وكما يتكلم في مدينة المدينة المدينة يدفع that he claimed the Imam at the age of 6 or 8 so is age important at that time أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين وسلم الله على سيدنا محمد وعاليه الطيبين وطهرين السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته for the people in Arabia age was substantial age played a major role in deciphering and deciding who gets to be a leader and who doesn't get to be a leader of course this might not be something that only belongs to the Arabic culture but in most cultures the older you are the more entitled you are to rule, to power, to educate the older you are the more privileges you have but more so in Arabia being old, having a white beard brings you respect, brings you honor brings you a high status in your community up until today now even until today if you have two people who have the same criteria if they are older priority is given to the older but we have to draw a line between respect for the elderly respecting your elders like رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم stated ووقروا كباركم ورحموا صغاركم give respect to the elderly treat them the way they deserve according to their age this is a separate topic إمامة and leadership is another topic it's a divine topic it's a divine position it has nothing to do with age age is not a criteria when it comes to إمامة our narrations that discuss the position of إمامة and who has the right to be an imam not just the narrations but even the Qur'an and the Qur'an discusses the criteria of إمامة for example لا ينال عهد الظالمين that oppressors will not be my representatives عهدي is a position where you speak on behalf of Allah you represent Allah not what إمامة is the divine authority لا ينال عهد الظالمين oppressors cannot represent Allah and oppressors are of two kinds and those who oppress themselves sinners oppress themselves hence they cannot be imams the Qur'an tells us who can be an imam and who cannot be an imam but age is not is not relevant it's not relevant it doesn't matter as long as the imam is his knowledge is sufficient he has sufficient knowledge and he's righteous he doesn't commit sins he has the criteria to become an imam but people did not see it that way that is why one of the excuses that was used against إمام when they took the خلافة from him one of the excuses made by the second الخليف الثاني was that you're too young and we're older than you and we're the elders of Quraish and you're still a young man مام عي was maybe in his 30s he was 30, 33 definitely he hadn't surpassed his 30s they told him you're a young man and we're the elders of Quraish so in their eyes age was a criteria besides the other justifications that they had they presented in order to take the خلافة exactly we know what their true intentions were the hijacking of the خلافة love for dunya basically but the apparent excuse they gave him is that you're too young and they felt that this is a justifiable excuse علي ونبيطالب should be should accept this justification so age was important incidentally in كتابة احتجاج العلامة طبراسي العلامة طبراسي توزه سبارة بسكشن that took place between ابو بكر and his father ابو قحافة because عبد الله بن أبيب قحافة his father ابو قحافة he told them why did you take the خلافة from علي ونبيطالب because علي ونبيطالب is young he said oh it's about age then I should be the خلافة you're my son you're my son I'm your father if it's about age then give it to me give it to me I'm your father I'm more deserving of it and I was also the companion of رسول الله so if it's about age I'm more deserving than you anyhow امام الهادي became an Imam at the age of six and as we said in the previous episode this was unprecedented except with امام الجواد امام جواد also became an Imam at a young age nine years of age how could a child be an Imam the ruler of the Islamic nation it's some people took it as a joke to the point that with the advent of امام الجواد and insha'Allah when we speak about his life insha'Allah we will talk about this in detail that a group of they broke off they broke off and there is a group of Shi'a who broke off from امام الهادي also and joined his brother definitely in fact maybe from امام صادق onwards with the death of every Imam a group of Shi'a would break off from the death of Imam صادق you have this they broke off you have the with the death of every Imam a group would break off the 12er they remained they stuck to the 12th but a group of Shi'a would always break off they were called by he lists all of the different kinds of Shi'as that existed anyhow is this really possible we talked about that I know in the previous in the previous lecture in the previous episode however there's one thing that I'd like to mention in addition to the previous lecture we mentioned the story of if you remember and hopefully our dear viewers were with us in the previous episode المعتصم العباسي who was the Khalifa of the time of course he was illiterate and he was a ruthless tyrant when he heard of المام الحادي he wanted someone to send someone to be المام الحادي's teacher we mentioned two reasons one was to to spy on him to spy on him and keep the Shi'a away from him because he's a child he assumed he's a 6 year old child he's not going to control who comes to his house and who doesn't he needs someone superior to him you know a secretary or more of a director a manager who can control who can come in that way he could split the imam from the Shi'a two he could claim credit for the knowledge of the imam I'd like to add one more reason for why putting الجنادي by the way الجنادي was a nasabi he hated the ahadid he spoke to the governor of Madina وحمد بن جأفق he told him I want you to choose someone who's known for the hate of the ahad el-bayt choose me someone who hates the ahad el-bayt someone who has no mercy in his art for the ahad el-bayt one of the one of the things that المعتصم on it and he thought he would be he would succeed at of course he doesn't know the ahad el-bayt very well he knows that they're scholars but he thinks that they're naive he doesn't really know how the imams serve one of the purposes of الجنادي was to brainwash الإمام الحدي tell him that you've been told you're an imam that has nonsense you've been very cute you've been fooled you're a regular human being because he thought that the imam الحدي has the mentality of a child he thinks like a child he's 6 years old so he must be thinking like a child and you know how you trick children I don't know if you could easily trick that imam الحدي tell him that listen you're not an imam you've been fooled you're a regular person and I'm here to teach you the Quran I'm here to teach you the Islamic law so that was one of the main purposes is to brainwash this child thinking that he's a child he's 6 years old he has to think like any other child so he can't say that when النصلي came to teach الإمام الحدي of course we mentioned the story but some of the details is that إمام الحدي told him why are you here he said I'm here to teach you he said what would you like to teach me he said the Quran he said yes he said where the Quran he said I'd like to teach you he said for example إمام الحدي started reciting صورة البقر he said would you like to recite anything else he said yes إمام الحدي began reciting these verses out of memory these chapters out of memory in the most eloquent way without a single mistake in pronunciation the man was astonished he was told that this is a child and he told the governor of Medina that's إمام الحدي he had promised them that I will teach this child after a couple of days he said okay well you've memorized the Quran now let me teach you the meanings of the Quran he said what is it that you like to teach me the meaning of this verse I will tell you the meaning of this verse and he began explaining to the إمام الحدي إمام الحدي he started explaining to إمام الحدي I apologize the meanings of the verses one after the other the governor of Medina a couple of days later he came to visit إمام الحدي and إمام نصيبي to see what is happening expecting that إمام نصيبي is dictating to إمام he came and he saw إمام الحدي the 6 year old child or 8 sitting on the chair speaking and إمام نصيبي writing what the إمام was saying so they switched positions they switched positions this shows that age had no role إمامة is a divine is a divine position الله سبحانه وتعالى has given the إمام this knowledge it doesn't matter how old you are age is irrelevant age is irrelevant age is irrelevant even when it comes to when it comes to right now you might see a person at the age of 30 more knowledgeable than a person at the age of 60 not just in knowledge in piety in 18 year old youth can be more pious than an 8 year old man so age is irrelevant but when it comes to the people of Arabia at that time how could they accept the إمام of إمام الحدي did they argue him what happened at that time they saw he has the criteria because they visited him the door of إمام الحدي was not closed it's not like he was kept in hiding he didn't go to غيبة إمام المهدي wasn't in غيبة for a specific reason the people would come and visit him and they saw that he was in the body of a 6 year old child but he had the mind and heart and knowledge and wisdom of an old man so that is why they had to accept him they had no reason to reject him they had no reason to reject him by argument they accepted the إمام of إمام الحدي at least his followers the followers of إمام الحدي they accepted his إمام what about those who split from إمام الحدي to his elder brother well obviously they denied the إمام الحدي they had reasons not to follow الإمام الحدي it could be age could have been one issue another issue was sometimes it's not very clear after the death of one إمام who is the إمام after although the إمامs they appoint before their death and we shall talk about this for example الإمام الحدي himself he was asked who is your successor he said and then he said so he made reference to إمام المهدي what will you do with the successor to the successor the إمامs they appoint the إمامs after them but sometimes it's vague it doesn't reach news to others so you see a rift sometimes there is people that intentionally take followers away from the إمام as in the case of الإمام الرضاء there were some of his fathers representatives that had money with them they purposely denied the إمام of إمام الرضاء to keep this money with them because if they acknowledge إمام الرضاء they have to give them the money and give it back to them إمام الرضاء so they denied all together they denied the إمام of إمام الرضاء so that they could keep the money عالي مبي حمز البطائن famous companion إمام مسلم الجعفة because of 30,000 Dinars he denied the إمام of إمام الرضاء he denied the إمام of إمام الرضاء say now we will go for a short break and we shall be back for this subject respected viewers we will be back in a short break do stay tuned if you was back with سيد السيد they have always have a conflict with with the إمامs brought them unbearable pain and whatever of torture imprisonment etc it began with who brought إمام الجعفة الصادق peace be upon him from بغداد from مدينة بغداد to خراسان and up until إمام الهادي where an متوكل brought him from مدينة to سامراء so why did إمام الهادي move to سامراء first of all when we look at the life of the إمام الهادي we see that he lived in مدينة for 20 years 20 years and in سامراء for 20 years so basically half of his life in مدينة and half of his life in سامراء we mentioned in the previous episode that for political reasons بن العباس they changed their capital from بغداد to سامراء some of them had brought the Turks into power and there were savages they were ruthless and the people of بغداد were fed up with them and they asked the خريفة to take them out so the خريفة changed the capital from بغداد to سامراء and moved to سامراء it's a nice city full of farms and the Tigris River passes through the agriculture there the agricultural heritage it's very beautiful so it became the capital and when you're in power and you fear opposition you don't want your opposition in a distant place where you have no control over them you want to have an eye over your opposition you want to be very careful what do they do what do they not do are they rallying support for an army are they going to start a revolution for these reasons حارون الرشيد brought ألمام القوم from مدينة بغداد he wanted him under his supervision for this reason ألمام رضا for this reason was brought to سامراء to be under his eyesight so it was a political it was a political move so what did the Imam do in سامراء when he arrived when he arrived unfortunately he was disrespected and he would put in a very poor humble house called خان الصعاليك خان الصعاليك there was a place for basically homeless people who doesn't have a home the very poor in this city so he stayed in a very poor place and the خليفة did that on purpose to humiliate ألمام الحادي it was a gesture to tell him that don't think that you're someone special this is how we treat and suddenly one of the followers there was شع in سامراء they followed the Imam some of the citizens of they became there were also people from who moved to سامراء one of them came and visited and he was very upset to see an Imam in such a house humble house it's a shack very poor furniture the walls, the ceilings they were very poor so the man he felt sorry for the Imam this is not where you belong أمان حادي made a gesture and all of a sudden the man saw the follower he saw mansions and gardens in the same house mansions and gardens he said where did this come from he said this is where we stay this is where we stay this is what Allah has given us what you see is the outer appearance but Allah doesn't make us stay in a place like this as a miracle this is a gift from Allah this is where we are and then he said this is what we have for us this is what Allah has provided for us but you can't see they have their own paradise they have their own paradise on earth but people don't see أمان حادي so the Imam showed his follower that apparently they were staying in a shack but in reality they were staying in a paradise of their own so the Imam did not move to Samarra willingly but he was forced to move to Samarra he didn't stay in Khan al-Sa'aliq after a while he was able to buy a house and he bought a piece of land a large piece of land in Samarra and he built his home of course they criticized the Imam that why did he buy a big piece of land not knowing that this piece of land was Imam al-Haadi's home and future graveyard for him and his son and his Haram the Haram that we visit today in Samarra it was the private house of Imam al-Haadi it wasn't just a graveyard that Imam al-Haadi was buried in it was his house and his son Imam al-Haadi was his heir he inherited the house and he was the successor of Imam al-Haadi and they were both buried there and it was there that Imam al-Haadi disappeared in his final the second historians tell us that during his stay Imam al-Haadi he didn't have political activism he wasn't politically involved in any movements he wasn't in house he wasn't under a house but he didn't have any political activities however historians say that he was busy helping others whoever would come to him that needed money of course money would come to the Imam they wouldn't give their money to the rulers their money came to Imam al-Haadi so Imam al-Haadi did have a good amount of money and this by the way caused trouble for him and all the other Imams because money is power and they didn't want to see money being given to Ahl al-Bait they took from them the throne leadership and even money and which kind of money religious taxes religious dues they wanted it for their own of course Ahl al-Bait they didn't spend the money on themselves and in many cases in which the Imams a lot of poor people would come to them and they would ask them for help and Ahl al-Bait would give Imam al-Haadi was busy helping people whether it came to financially spiritually psychologically he was always there for people for the service of people and this is so beautiful Imam even though the Imam and Imam was a spiritual God he could sit at home and not do anything and people would still respect him but he came out to the people he wouldn't sitting in lofty mansions forgetting about his matters of people his citizens, his followers, his subjects he went after the people he wanted to see what they want help them out and anyone who sits in chairs of political come down to the people come speak to the people see what they need discuss their problems try to fix their issues and this is exactly what Imam al-Haadi did during his days of Samarab Imam al-Haadi we said that he was not under house arrest but he was limited so his connections to his followers was not was so little if not allowed with the outside world he lived under severe conditions and lastly was poisoned by المتوكل العباسي he was poisoned by المعتز but المتوكل was the cruelest and he has the most hatred for the people he even tried to demolish the grave of Imam Hussein where he diverted the waters of Euphrates in Karbala and subhan Allah there was a miracle where we have now al-Ha'ar al-Husayni the grave was protected the grave was protected by Allah how did the Imam deal with all that hard from the history of Imam al-Haadi we understand that he witnessed five of the خلفاء by the way بني العباس they were cousins of Ahl al-Bait they were from the progeny of Al-Abbas the uncle of Rasool Allah بني أمية were a bit distant بني أمية were also cousins but father father relatives بني العباس were cousins of Rasool Allah and Ahl al-Bait however according to historians that their oppression towards Ahl al-Bait was more than bani العباس I'm sorry it was more than bani أمية bani العباس were worse and more cruel than bani أمية the Imam Al-Ha'adi witnessed المعتصم he was the first of the خلفاء of Imam Al-Ha'adi and the Mu'atasim poisoned Imam Al-Jawad he killed Imam Al-Jawad Imam Al-Ha'adi's father the Mu'atasim was first of all he was illiterate he didn't read, he didn't write he was absolutely empty of all knowledge and wisdom and two he was ruthless he was a barbarian this was Al-Mu'atasim when he died Al-Waathik came after him Al-Waathik was a bit better he was not so harsh he reduced the pain of the Ahl al-Bait he gave back some of their some of their rights and historians say that he wasn't too much into power he bought the Turks into power and he let them control the entire thing and he was more of how do we put this a Don Juan a ladies man he went after women and ladies so he was too busy in that sector a caliph of a so called caliph he went after those things and while leadership and the rule of the Turks and he didn't care so much for the Ahl al-Bait and in fact he gave back some of their rights some of their rights they didn't face so much persecution during the time of Al-Waathik after Al-Waathik came Al-Mutawakil Al-Mutawakil was more learned than Al-Mu'atasim but very evil very evil and full of hatred towards the Ahl al-Bait full of hatred towards the Ahl al-Bait and he was known to have destroyed the grave of Imam Hussein and he said five times and the reason for that historians say that he had a lot of mistresses but he had a favorite one so once he called for his favorite mistress she didn't come he sent after her they told him she's she's not here she's not in the city where is she they told him she's in Karbala visiting the grave of Imam Hussein visiting the grave of Imam Hussein go destroy that grave so that was his moment it was out of ego that my mistress goes and visits the grave of someone who's dead who died a long time ago our cousins out of jealousy out of hatred he destroyed the grave and historians mention he destroyed the grave and how many times once he turned the grave of Imam Hussein into farms to a farm where there's a cattle and you grow plants and he brought cows cows on the farm on the grave of Imam Hussein historians say that the cows did not come anywhere close to the grave of Imam Hussein they stayed away that plan failed the Euphrates is very close yes from Karbala but it doesn't pass by the grave it's a bit farther I mean it doesn't come over the grave of Imam Hussein he purposely opened a channel from the that goes through the grave to come right to the grave to cover the grave of Imam Hussein with water if it becomes over the water who will come and visit the grave of Imam Hussein of course his objective one of his objectives was to stop the visit of Imam Hussein so that people will not come and visit for political reasons of course political reasons so historians say that the water did not come and cover the grave but it came and circled the grave circled the grave it kept on circling the grave and the circle حار الماء حار means it circled that is why that area surrounding the grave is called Al Ha'ar حار الماء حار الماء حار الماء that is why it's called Al Ha'ar Al Hussein and many people from the city of Karbala they are called Al Ha'iri ascribed to Al Ha'ar Al Hussein definitely so many attempts at destroying the grave of Imam Hussein and stopping his visit or their cuttings he established certain laws تجعل احوالي وحنو ورقه بالماي ونضم على ان تأخذوا عالمهم يجب يتكلم تخصك بأعوام الناس من المؤكد ان دوريان يأخذنا يقول اننا لديهم أحوالك وانتهم يقادروا أحوالك اندني اند يقول ان my right hand you cut it off last year هذا سنقوم بك احوالك فهي ورعب شرطة مفتاحة العزيارة العالمية فالناس إفتحوا لكي ي this is the love of Ahl al-Bait and people's hearts but Al-Abbas thought that through money and power and fear and scaring people or offering them money they could stop the azari people's hearts from loving Ahl al-Bait but it doesn't work that way لن يفعل أي شيء جيد لهم إبراهيم عليسلام القرآن يقول واجع لأفئدة من الناس تهوي إليهم ويجعل الأحياء من بعض الناس يذهبون لهم بالطبع أنها يتكلم عن وائف حاجر ويوجد سنس معيد but the deeper meaning of the verse is the هلالبيت واجع لأفئدة من الناس تهوي إليهم يجب أن ينظر على سيارة الأربعين قبل إلى الآن أحب ان نمع الناس حتى لو أنها مجددا يوجد مزارات يجب أن يقومون بحيات سواء وإذا كانت لدينا كامل ويوجد من الناس يتمرون في جميع يتمرون في جميع يتمرون لرسلي يتمرون في مجد أسرص أو يمتنون في نجف ونحن لدينا كثير من الناس الذين يأتيون من إيران إلى كربلا من مشهد من مشهد من مشهد من مشهد المتوكل was very harsh was very harsh with he was probably one of the harshest with المعمل هذه of course after him was المنتصر المنتصر was a lot better than المتوكل سبحان الله they were very moody one would be harsh the other would be kind the other one would be harsh of course he wasn't kind but relatively speaking he has political benefits right there were political benefits he might benefit from being nice to the Ahabit I don't want to also give back some of their rights he gave back Fadik to Ahabit I don't want to after him went back to playing good cop bad cop he started playing the bad cop again and he was very harsh and he was the one that gave poison to المعمل هذه but المتوكل المتوكل was very harsh and perhaps tomorrow inshallah in the next episode we'll give some pictures of how المتوكل dealt with المعمل هذه how he would disrespect them but I'd like to mention this the story before we move on المتوكل despite his harshness and his brutality with المعمل هذه historians say that المعمل هذه visited المتوكل when he was ill المتوكل fell ill and the doctors would were not able to cure him المتوكل had an advisor I believe by the name of Saeed Saeed told him you've tried all these doctors let's try علي ابن محمد الهدي let's see perhaps he might have a suggestion because they know أهل البيت have the divine information have divine information and their knowledge was not just about Quran and Sunnah knowledge of everything including medicine including medicine so they asked المعمل هذه المعمل هذه came and he offered his medical advice he gave his medical expertise he offered his advice and indeed المتوكل was cured at the hands of المعمل الهدي and this shows two things this shows two things one that المعمل الهدي not only possessed religious knowledge but he possessed other forms of knowledge including medical medical knowledge المعمل الهدي was a doctor you could call him a doctor he possessed medical expertise this is one two it shows the humanitarian side of المعمل الهدي that he would do good to a person even like المتوكل when asked when asked a person who has enmity towards the everybody a person who is an enemy to أهل البيت and to المعمل الهدي a person who has destroyed the grave of his grandfather five times well when he asks him for help he's willing to give him he's willing to offer the help so is there any could you please you know elaborate on the incidents of brutality with with المعمل الهدي were there any incidents of brutality from المتوكل towards the أهل البيت peace be upon them of course bringing them in خان الصعاليك was the hardest one this is one putting spies on them was another making sure who goes who comes was you know was part of their part of the escape they were disrespectful they were very disrespectful in in the presence of المعمل الهدي you know you would expect him knowing who the المعمل was to give him to give him more respect to give him more honor but he didn't I'd like to share one of the حديث of المعمل الهدي شو you know one of the beautiful حديث that he had stated in his during his short life حديث says it's very beautiful he says إن الناسة في الدنيا بالأموان وفي الآخرتي بالأعمال very beautiful very beautiful narration إمام الهدي tells us how people are treated and respected in this life and in this life now treated by with money two different criteria in this life it's about money it's about money Subhan Allah how much do you own and you'll get respect and you'll get honor and it's true it's true unfortunately even in religious communities when someone rich someone who owns lands who owns a huge company comes into our presence we stand up for them we respect them we offer them our receipts VIP seats as if we're going to inherit them we're not going to receive a dollar from him it's psychological Subhan Allah you know sometimes you respect someone perhaps he might give you money you know that this person is not going to be a single dollar but why do we respect him I don't know it's psychological psychological you respect people with money those are our wealthy but in the after it has nothing to do with money it has nothing to do with the after and the people in the world without money without money without money your actions your deeds what have you done what have you done for the next life how many people have you clothed how many poor people have you fed how many schools have you built how much have you prayed how many deeds did you fast how much Quran did you recite how many lies it's about our deeds and actions we human beings we have two accounts one account is for money and the other account is for deeds there's some people all they worry about is the account for money keep on putting in that account they check they check on their bills they check on their balance to see how much money did I put this month the past month how much interest did I accumulate what about the other accounts the account for the after the after life and this حديث reminds me of a حديث by Imam Ali says إذا ما تبنه آدم قال الناس ما ده ترك when the son of Adam a human being when he dies people ask how much did he leave how much did he leave behind him you know when you hear of celebrities dying the first thing that you hear when someone so died at the age of 60-70 leaving behind not family or relatives how much money leaving behind $1.5 billion $100 million so on and so forth they care about the money إذا ما تبنه آدم قال الناس ما ده ترك وقالت المرائك ما ده أدن angels ask not what he left behind what did he put forward what good deeds did he make for the Akhrat for the next life Imam Ali stresses on this الناس في الدنيا بالأمان وفي الأخرى بالأمان بالأمان so I mean it's it's totally surprising that the people who witnessed the miracles of the Ahl al-Bait during their lives I mean was that not affecting them or what was it exactly no I I believe that many people were affected by how could you not be affected you know the imams they preached not just with their words definitely with their actions as well when he says this الناس في الدنيا بالأمان وفي الأخرى بالأعمال he actually works on that he worked on it he implemented it he implemented it he lived a simple life simple house simple furniture his deeds he worried for his deeds his actions his prayers his dua his supplications helping others helping the destitute this is a trend in the lives of the Ahl al-Bait helping the poor helping the needy helping the orphans that was the message of the Ahl al-Bait which was the message of the Ahl al-Bait definitely today I don't know if the Ahl al-Bait will see us will they be proud of us or will they you know claim innocence from us and it will say that we have nothing to do with these people are we today helping the poor and needy and orphans how much how much have we worked for orphans how many orphans are there here in Iraq how many orphans what have we done for them what have we done for the poor millions of orphans the war and you know you know we follow the Ahl al-Bait we're not poor as a whole as a whole of course as a ummah we're not poor we have rich members as an organization we're rich what have we done for our poor members we haven't done much how many organizations that we have to help the poor that support the youth there's so many youth here in Iraq today that can't get married why for financial reasons what have we done to help these people to come here offer them grants offer them interest free loans what have we done for them they basically put banks with interest and loans of interest that is basically it is basically and unfortunately and I'm talking about us regular people I'm not talking about the politicians well the politicians what are different you know who's ruling in the name of Ahl al-Bait and who reached power in the name of Ahl al-Bait لن يكونوا مختلفين من البن العباس نعم، نعم إن شاء الله سوف نكمل ونقوم بتتكلم أكثر عن أمام العلالحادي إن شاء الله أكثر عن العلالحادي ونقوم بتتكلم أكثر عن أمام العلالحادي والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته


What is going on guys, it's your boy theepj here today with another Destiny video and in today's Destiny video we have the first of a new mini series. Now we all know the Destiny patch slash update, the 2.0 patch will be here quite soon, well in my opinion not quite soon enough but still at least it's coming. Now if you don't know anything about this patch it will include major improvements needed to balance out PVP for the greater good, these include auto rifle buffs, scout rifle buffs, fauna last word nerfs and so forth. What we know, read and have heard about this patch it does seem to be on the right track of making PVP fun to play like it once was in my opinion. Now in this series in each episode I will cover one weapon which in my opinion will stand out once this patch drops, basically trying to help people prepare for PVP not dominated by fawns, last words and shotguns. Now people in my opinion will reach out and try other weapons when this patch drops, this is a goal from Bungie and it's my goal to help you guys find weapons that might stand out from the crowd when this patch actually does drop. The first weapon we are going to cover in this series is the 1 slash 1 sinus feat scout rifle or sinus feat, this is a vanguard scout rifle but before we get into this weapon and a certain role and mod I believe takes this weapon from being a standard weapon and makes it into actually a quite decent PVP weapon. I want to add that this weapon may not match everybody's play style and I will cover many other weapons in episode 2 come, one of them is guaranteed to match your play style. Now the changes coming with the 2.0 patch that affect scout rifles make these weapons the best, goal 2 primary weapon to choose for long range engagements, main changes in the 2.0 patch are as follows, increased base damage for medium to high rate of fire scout rifles, increased magazine size for all base inventory stats. So about the 1 slash 1 sinus feat, I don't know how this is pronounced so I'm just going to refer to it as the 1 slash 1. This is a vanguard scout rifle bought from the vanguard quartermaster in the tower costing you 150 vanguard marks and requires you to be a rank 3, it can also be obtained from a blue or purple, rare or legendary engram as well as a vanguard package via the postmaster. Looking at its base stats you immediately see it's one of the scouts in the higher rate of fire class all through and not the fastest available, range and stability are just above half with also a decent standard reload speed. The role of mods I feel work best and scout rifles used for pvp especially ones with a high rate of fire are as follows, the first one I wanted was full auto, this being a weapon that shoots quite quick and deals high damage I feel for pvp, full auto is the one to go for in my opinion, but hey, you guys with them rapid trigger fingers, you could maybe go for another perk such as locking a chamber, battle runner or maybe something like rodo which helps keeps a fast firing scout rifle under control. Now in the center perk column I didn't get what I initially wanted but I was happy enough with what I got, I did not want to ruin it or waste more mods of light reforging, but few guys do have plenty of mods of light and are willing to reforge this until you get the perfect weapon, maybe try and aim for a boost in stability in this center perk column. At perk 2 I have crowd control, kills of this weapon grab bonus damage for a short time, there are other great mods I would have been quite happy with, ones like third die where rare die remains active while aiming weapons or zen moment to help stability or even outlaw I would have been completely happy with, but crowd control in my opinion is just as good, apply these mods to the scout rifle and you have yourself a decent pvp weapon obviously to be used at mid to long range, a weapon that's actually quite effective in pvp in its current state if used right right now, but the point of this series is not to find and showcase weapons that own in pvp as of now, as pretty much nothing compares to fawn in the last word, it's to find weapons that will stand out and should be good once the 2.0 patch drops just before the taking king, now I use this in pvp for quite a while and you'll see me again playing the background now and it actually really surprised me how actually effective this weapon can be if used correctly, now I have at the moment a few weapons I plan to level up and try out and see how good they compare and if I feel they will be quite decent when their patch drops I will cover them in a video, but if you guys have any weapon to suggest be sure to let me know what it is down below in that comment section and let me know what certain role of mod you have on it, I'll try it out if I think it's a standout weapon I will make a video on it, but guys if you have this one slash one lying about in your vault, if you've got the certain roles I suggest on it try it out in pvp, obviously you do not want to use an aggressive playstyle when using a scout rifle, you want to seek back and pick people up, close range you will get owned all day long by other weapons, meter long range you do stand a chance of fighting people who are using the phone, you will see me actually ruining people a couple of times using the phone in this video, but like I said this series is about finding weapons that will be effective when the 2.0 patch drops, not as pvps in its current state, but guys hope you enjoyed the video, tell me your thoughts on this series down below in that comment section, thanks for stopping by as always, do drop a like, I do appreciate the support and peace out until next time, peace.


So we can really leverage your money well with $1 options. It's been a strategy that I've worked on for a number of years because you know what? A lot of people like to buy cheap options, and then they blow up their account, and then they think, I'll never do that again. And the reality is you need to figure out how to leverage these great moves in stocks, folks.  I'm sure Fawcett showed you the grace. It's been really one of the best years in memory. Everybody else is talking to me about how 2020, they can't wait for the year to be over. I would love another trading year like 2020. Sure, we don't want a pandemic to go with it. But you know what? You need to be taking advantage of these moves, folks. So we're going to walk with you through how to make sure that. Yeah. Quick, it looks like your screen is sharing your notes on the right, too. Yeah, I'm on the wrong screen there. Let me try a new share there. It'll do screen number two. Thank you, sir. I thought it wasn't sharing properly. See, we've got the full screen up there, baseball. You know, it's a World Series time, Fawcett. It's great to be able to talk about a baseball analogy right in the middle of the World Series. Most people are out there looking for singles in this market because they've been kind of so either beat up by their past issues that they've had in trading or they've heard people that haven't done well in trading. And they're missing these bigger opportunities to make doubles, triples, and home runs. And so basically, that's what I want to walk folks through. So what we don't do in this strategy is we don't go for the small fish. We really are looking for the bigger moves, the bigger opportunities. We're not just trying to get on the first base. We're trying to go for at least second base, which is at least a double in trading terms. Of course, that's 100% gain on your money. What do you do if you double your money in any investment, in my opinion, whether it's a stock, an option, Bitcoin, futures, 4x. If I get a double on anything, folks, I sell half of it no matter how good it looks, no matter how good you feel.  And yet my experience is those are the trades that you need to be able to keep a part of your money going for even bigger gains. I don't know about you, but for me, when I'm right, I tend to be right really quickly and right bigger than I expect a lot of times. And when I'm wrong, I tend to stay wrong. And so the reality is you've got to be more impatient with your winners, hang in there for at least half the position. We go for the next target of a triple, which is a 200% gain. We sell half of our remaining investment. And then we're going for our final piece. The four-bagger is a 300% return on your money. That's where we sell our final piece at a 300% gain. Now that doesn't happen every trade, but the point being that, you know, when you get just even one of these, even if you were doing it the way I'm gonna teach you here today, which is if you just started with four contracts and a dollar option means you're controlling 100 shares of stock for 100 bucks on an option trade. So that means if you buy four of these to do this proper capital allocation, it costs you no more than 400 bucks and sometimes less. We buy a half-dollar option, it costs you a couple hundred bucks. You sell two of them out and when you double your money from 400 to 800, you take another piece out when you're up another 300 bucks on that triple and then the final piece is worth 400 bucks on that last contract, you'd make 1100 bucks profit off of that $400 investment. So it's one of those things where one of those trades making a grand on just 400 bucks, it makes it really fun to trade again. That's what I love about this strategy. So we're gonna walk you through it, teach you about gamma, teach you about the elements of the indicators and go into a lot of case studies. Now, if you said, well, so why should you care? If you were following this approach and never putting more than 1000 bucks into any one trade, that basically start with 10K, you'd be up to 33 and a half thousand as of the end of September. So basically we update our numbers at the end of every month for these little graphics. And basically the point being that, the leverage is there, you say, sure it's been a good market, but the reality is we've done well in up markets, we've done well in down markets. And the key is knowing that where the opportunity is and knowing how to strike past performance does not guarantee future results. And so you wanna keep that in mind as well. So let's just look at an example here. This is AMD. I don't know how many of you might trade AMD advanced micro devices. Everybody's always talking about Apple and Facebook, but AMD has been on a phenomenal tear over the last few years. It's one of the best performing stocks in the S&P 500 the last two years. And so the point being that it's a chip stock and the key is we've got indicators here that we wanna talk about. We're not gonna get into more than just three key elements that make this service up. And the big thing that I wanna kind of highlight for you all today, that the way that I'm different at big trends, you know, I've been trading, if you don't know me, I've been trading for now over 30 years. I graduated from Duke University. Then the classic early mistake I made was I thought I was smarter than the market. I thought because of a great education, because I did my homework. And I know you all have been there too. You do a lot of work, you study all this stuff. You investigate these companies. You figure out when they're making money, when they're losing money. You say, I've got the surefire bet and then it doesn't fire. You're like, well, I hang in there. It's gotta come around. My research has gotta be right. And guess what? A lot of times if the market doesn't validate you, you don't get paid. And worse yet, you lose. You can't dig in the market. You gotta stay flexible. But the point being that what I've learned is that when something goes quote, overbought, like AMD did back here, we've got a few indicators here. This top one here is what's called the CCI. We're gonna get into these. That's the commodity channel index. The percent R, Larry Williams, percent range indicator. This bottom line, this green line here is the one we all wanna look at is the ADX. It wasn't close to firing on that first setup. That first attempt that AMD made, this is back in, you can see on this chart. I went back to early to late July when made the trade. But the early July trade, when it sets up like that, it's gotta get through those highs going forward. This is called confirmation. And one of the things that you see on this chart is that it's a big exit does not keep going. It tries, it sets up, and it fails.  And a lot of times the first attempt is a fake out.  You're going, okay, well, this is starting to set up again here. But look, two days later, that first day it doesn't confirm, but the second day it does, that's the confirmation check mark. We want to get on board this. We were in there buying this next morning here on this red negative candle. We were briefly down for the day. This is by the way, all these charts I'm showing you are daily charts. We keep it really simple here with this strategy. You don't have to monitor every second. I know Fausto is more of an expert at that than I am. Bottom line is that I'm an expert at finding the bigger trends and riding the heck out of them and getting the more for your money. And the bottom line is that for me, okay, so we buy in there, we're down about 30% on this aggressive option after one day. I don't want you to think that it never loses or that you never have to endure trades that are occasionally down or may finish down. That's why I say never commit more than your risk capital and don't over commit on any one trade. Even if it's going great, you know, we want to say never commit more than 10% of the capital you allocate to trade the service into any new trade. So if you got a 10 grand account, don't put more than a thousand bucks into a trade. It's just bad capital management if you get that greedy. Okay, if you got a $5,000 account, don't put more than 500 bucks in. You can still do that with 500 bucks to trade on this service. So the point being that, okay, now it's, we're in that trade, we're waiting for it to fire. We're in at a buck, $100 per contract, controlling the 100 shares on every one of those contracts. Well, with a right to buy at 75 and look where the stock was when we purchased that. It was right off of that open right up there it was in the neighborhood about 61 bucks. Now note, a socks at 61, why would you buy a 75 strike call? It means a right to buy a sock at 75. It's 14 points below that. Why not buy in the open market? Because we're buying an option that gives us the right to potentially do something with that option and turn it into stock later. And we're never going to exercise that right with the strategy. We're just trying to take advantage of the fact that as it goes from out of the money to you see it gets up here into the low 70s it's about 72 bucks. It never even gets to 75. And we're able to sell out at 100, then 200%. And then the final piece was sold on that last bar there at 300% that morning, cashed it out, sold it and said, thank you very much, we're done, we're out. Whether it goes on to a 500 or 1,000% gain, I don't care because all I want to do is catch my piece. I call it taking the meat out of the middle of the mood what I call the sweet spot of the trend. As it just kicks off and you get that confirmation there's likely to be a flood of initial buyers trying to get a piece of that too.  So the bottom line is that you're getting on that train. And as I said, it's not just about winning, it's also about knowing how to manage your losses. Babe Ruth to me is we're in the baseball season here at World Series Time here, Mr. October, but also you can see his career home run record, 714 career home runs. What you may not know is that look at this stat here. 1,330 career strikeouts, almost double his number of home runs. And yet he was at six someone say seven time world champion with the first one I didn't count because he never played even a single at bat or pitch on the Red Sox when they first won with him on board. But you know, two World Series with the Red Sox, all you Yankee fans glad that he was traded to the what they call the curse of the Bambino when the Red Sox traded him away, then they didn't win another championship for a century, right? But the point being that this is what I see a lot of traders having trouble with. This four letter word called fear. It's probably the most brutal word even more than the other four letter words you might think of because fear is what's holding a lot of people back from making great money in the markets because you're afraid of striking out. You may have had that experience, heard somebody that did. And that's why I say, okay, you know what? That fear is holding you back and it's getting in your way. It's preventing you from hitting those home runs and really growing your portfolio and enhancing your wealth and building your family's future as well.


Live from Seattle, Washington, it's theCUBE, covering DockerCon 2016, brought to you by Docker. Now, here are your hosts, John Furrier and Brian Graceley. Okay, welcome back, everyone. We are here live in Seattle, Washington for DockerCon 2016. This is SiliconANGLE Media's theCUBE. This is our flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the signals from the noise. I'm John Furrier, my co-host, Brian Graceley. Our next guest is Sunil Khan, the CEO of Nuage Networks, part of Nokia. Welcome to theCUBE. Thank you, John. Good to see you. Thank you, Brian. Likewise. Docker Madness is really exploding in the developer community, certainly galvanizing the digital transformation. But at the end of the day, we always say in theCUBE, the network's the bottleneck. You got it. And it's really about what's under the hood. We just talked to Hedvig to start up about storage. You've seen a lot of disruption, certainly in how infrastructure's being, technology being developed to make it more programmable. Yeah. Where's the story of the network? Where's that fitting? What's the updates there? Because at the end of the day, that's a critical piece of the pie. Indeed, absolutely. For ultimately for apps to be deployed on the network, on any infrastructure, as you said, network has to get out of the way to create that developer efficiency, to allow for applications to be deployed very quickly. And how do you make that happen? Because containers are really being talked about. We are the conference, 4,000 plus people, fantastic. However, CIOs know that they have, not only the container technology to deal with, but they have virtualized workloads and have had those virtualized workloads for a long time. They have bare metal servers that are supporting applications that probably will never move for a while. So you have these very changing, very dynamic environment, and you have to understand how the networking can tie those things together seamlessly. That's where we come in as Nuage Networks, because Nuage Networks is essentially SDN's venture of Nokia. And what we have at Nuage Networks, what we have done is it's a modern network policy-based automation platform that allows for any workload, whether it's a virtualized workload, whether it's a container workload, whether it's a bare metal server, all to come together and be stitched automatically to allow for that application to be deployed quickly. How is that different from other SDN cloud architectures that you guys are doing within Nokia? Right, so first and foremost, what we have is it's a platform that we've built. It's a virtualized services automation platform. It's not a point solution for only the data center assets to be automated or only the SDN as it's called branch to be automated. What it is, it's a declarative policy-based automation platform that allows for, which is open by the way, completely open, incorporates open source technologies, and allows for all types of workloads within and across data centers. So virtualized workloads, bare metal workloads, existing workloads as well as incorporates different hypervisor and cloud management system technologies and allows for connection to the branch and to the wide area. So you're saying it was built for cloud in mind, is that what that is? It was very much built for cloud enablement in mind, making sure that we didn't forget on the way the existing environment and what you're seeing and the difference really between us and other platforms that are out there is essentially some of the SDN platforms are mono, if you will, and very narrow sliver. They're based only for the data center and work only on a mono hypervisor technology or some platforms are only looking at the SDVAN branch platform. The environment is such that you want, and the CIOs want, an automation platform that is consistent across private, on-prem, as well as public resources and works across multiple hypervisor technologies. And the big deal there is, because you say point technologies, but that's code word for the older approaches, which was back in the mini computer land days and internet working, you stand up some networks, have policies and certainly policy based packet management and that was it. That's right. And you manage it within the data center. That's right. And that was adequate at that time. So a vertically integrated track in that simplified environment was adequate. Now you have such a variety of use cases. You've got to deal with the cloud native applications. You've got to deal with the older applications, but you need a consistent platform because ultimately you're looking to align IT to business needs. And how do you align IT to business needs? You do that by getting the networking out of the way and creating automation by delivering operational simplification. Getting network out of the way, I love that. A lot of CIOs, a lot of CEOs are seeing startups get into their industry. If you're in automobiles, there's people that are trying to disrupt you. You're in hotels, everybody knows about those. What is the, they go great. I can go hire some application developers. I want to go faster. Somebody says, let's get the network out of the way. Who are you selling to then? Who is that person that says, that sounds great, but I still got to figure out routing and I got to figure out security and I got to make it highly available. Who's the decision maker in your world these days? Great question, Brian. So a couple of points. One, these days, any large enterprise that is looking to IT to create differentiation for their core business. And that means almost every large enterprises rely on IT heavily for their requirements as well as to create a differentiation for their own core product, whatever it might be. Whether it's automobiles, it's pharmaceutical, it's retail. Those are indeed the customers that we are talking to because what they have is their environment has shifted. As John said earlier, it's not very simple environment. The environment has become complicated and to do that, the networking requirements have become very sophisticated. As in you need application isolation, you need multi-tenancy. You need the ability to deploy policy very, very quickly. You need effortless governance of your security policies and compliance. You need to be able to stitch all these workloads together and also have a strategy for private and public cloud. What that means is you need the technologies that were available to the top of the, if you will, tier one service providers and bring that to the enterprises and that's what we have done. We need to do this. What use cases specifically around containers and policy do you see out there? Can you be specific? Yeah, absolutely. So I'll give you an example of a customer that was in OpenStack, BedFair, is online bedding and we have them on a cube. That's right, you had Richard, I believe. And what they have is they have 100 million plus transactions in a day on their infrastructure. Their use case is continuous integration. Anything that they do. At that scale. At that scale. And so they're using Nuage to basically create that automation for all their workloads. That's one use case. The other use case is we have a very large Fortune 5 company that is looking to use Nuage for automation of their virtualized machines. So they have a cloud stack and they have a KVM based hypervisor with virtual machines and they're using containers with measles and Nuage is the only platform that's allowing them to stitch these environments together seamlessly, apply the same policy and same automation.  You bring those together. We bring that together in a highly automated way and then we allow for security. Very important security as in, we prevent spread of malware. We very quickly being able to enforce the policies. We provide multi-tenancy. Well Docker's a huge security nightmare because it's just as much the benefits can interoperate with, I mean the applications can be put in containers so good viruses. Exactly. And they can scale. And that's what our job is to make sure that. How do you do that? It doesn't do that because by able to very quickly enforce policies and quarantine the workloads. So upon detection of malware, our system gets a notification based on that notification we are able to because we have full view of all the workloads whether they are in a private data center, public data center or in the branch. We can very quickly then quickly, effectively and surgically quarantine that workload because we know exactly where that workload is and we know exactly the policy to enforce. This also helps by the way, this system also helps by, you know, you get a security threat alert. Today it's a brute force approach.  Now with this policy based automation, you go up to the policy and you say, I want only this application to not be allowed to use this protocol. And instantly that policy is deployed. Yeah. I'm sort of picking up on two things. You talk about sort of end to end, the platform for everywhere. A lot of that's because we don't have boundaries anymore. You know, mobile phone changes the boundary. That's exactly right. The branch office, people are moving around. So you need to be, you need to have that sort of end to end visibility. You don't have segmentation like you used to. And you talk about policy, you know, I need to be able as a developer to go, network team, I need you to sort of give me a service. And then I just want to call it. I don't want to have to call you. I might be working at two at night. We might have to change something on the fly. Like that's why the policy piece is so important. Is that right? You are absolutely correct, Brian. And that is so critical because ultimately what IT is struggling with is how do they enforce the governance, the security governance? When application needs to be deployed, IT generally gets in the way. Not because they want to, because they want to enforce certain security, certain compliance policies. And until now, it has always been that manual process. Now with the security policy-based infrastructure, what they are able to do is they are able to put the policy once and they're ensured that policy is deployed seamlessly across all their workloads. And so they have to audit the policy once and it's guaranteed provisioning which is error-free provisioning. So it's huge in terms of the ability for enterprises to react to problems, but also any changes, the agility this brings, the system brings to the table. Because ultimately, without the network, there is really no cloud. And that's why we're hearing people talk about SecOps and SecDevOps. It's really security integrated without automation. Consistently, automatable. Same thing every single time. Absolutely. We have one customer, which is, again, a very large financial base in New York. And their issue was exactly that in terms of being able to, when I'm talking in their CSO and the Chief Security Officer, the biggest thing that they took away from our policy-based automation was not only the ability to able to stitch all these environments together seamlessly, but being able to provide compliance, being able to provide the automated policy infrastructure for all their workloads, being able to really provide that application isolation. Those are big deals, very big deals for the CXOs and CSOs. So, Neil, we got a wrap, but I wanted to get your final thoughts on Nuage and Nokia.  Obviously, the name's different. Obviously, Nokia is big. You guys are part of that. Explain to the people watching what you guys are about, size, scope, the kind of engagement, revenue, and how that compares and contrasts to Nokia, which we're part of, but there's... So, we are a wholly-owned SD inventor of Nokia. And what we are focusing on is this policy-based automation, network automation for the data centers, wide area, and the branches. Nokia provides us tremendous sponsorship. They're very much behind this, and they recognize the value in our ability to serve the largest of the largest enterprise customers. But also, because of Nokia, we are able to address and are involved in very large service providers' projects. So, that's what helps us be involved. They have huge scale. So, the way we work is we focus on our R&D, the innovation we bring to the table, the community that we serve. But, Nokia provides us the reach. Yeah, the global reach, the resources. But you're wholly-owned, meaning you run independently, if you will. We are, yes, but we are fully owned by Nokia. We just operate and focus on this. It allows us to really focus. A number of customers. Can you share some data? Yeah, and we completed two years in the market, and in two years, we have over 60 plus customers. We have over 200 deployments that we have completed, pilot trials and deployments. But we have 60 plus very large service provider customers, cloud service providers. One of the largest- So, huge integrations. And also, the very big, very big enterprise customers. I named a couple of Fortune 5 companies, but we are in retail, we are in high-tech, we are in healthcare, we are in pharma.  That have diverse needs and diverse workloads, and have the need to stitch all that together in a cohesive fashion to build that automated fabric for them. Composable, almost, right? Composable, to ultimately bring agility and align IT to the business needs. I love the word composable infrastructure. It really treats the infrastructure as programmable, which is the nirvana. Make it an invisible, make it get out of the way. Get out of the way, but yet make it effortless. Highly performing, too. So, secure, high-performance, invisible. That's right. That's infrastructure as code. Neil, thanks for sharing your insight here and the CUBE really appreciate. New Watch Networks, CEO here on theCUBE, live at DockerCon. I'm John Furrier, Brian Graceley. We'll be right back, you're watching theCUBE.


Hello, my name is Jamie Campbell and I'm Zack Cronner and we're members of the Michigan House Regional Stemmy Alert Program. As a paramedic, I cannot stress enough the importance of not hesitating to call 911 if you're experiencing one or more signs of a heart attack. These include chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, heavy sweating, indigestion, and radiating pain. By dialing 911, your care can be significantly expedited and your heart muscle can be saved. Upon arrival at the scene, EMS personnel can perform a 12-lead EKG to help evaluate the extent of your cardiac emergency. They can also begin monitoring your vitals and administer anti-platelet drugs if needed to prevent damage to your heart. By driving yourself or even having a loved one drive you to the ER, you are not only delaying your treatment and risking unnecessary damage to your heart muscle, you're also endangering lives of others on the road if your condition worsens. To rapidly identify patients suffering from the most serious type of heart attack, an ST segment, Elevation, Mardi Cardio, and Farsion, also referred to as STEMI, MidMichigan Health and MidMichigan Medical Center EMS have implemented a regional STEMI Alert Program. This program is designed to train paramedics on how to quickly identify STEMI patients so that they can implement life-saving protocols to bypass the closest emergency department and take the patient to the nearest STEMI receiving center. Upon arrival, the patient is taken directly to the cath lab so that blood flow can be quickly re-established to their heart. With state protocols in place, MidMichigan's Regional STEMI Alert Program is approved for up to a 90-minute patient transport time to MidMichigan Medical Center Midland, the nearest STEMI receiving center. To ensure overall success in the program, MidMichigan Medical Center EMS actively collaborates with other local EMS agencies to provide training and share best practices. Participating counties include Bay, Claire, Gladwin, Grashit, Isabella, Midland, Roscommon, and Saginaw.  One simple call may just save your life.


Hi everyone and welcome back to another vlog. So this vlog is all about common general practice nursing misconceptions. Here at number one, one of the biggest misconceptions is that you need previous experience or to be an experienced nurse to go into general practice and this just is not true. I myself was a newly qualified nurse and I went straight into general practice without any experience so please don't be afraid to just go for it. Not only that I also know a lot of other people, a lot of the GPN, SNN, ambassadors that I work with as well. Some of those people were newly qualified nurses and they've gone straight into general practice so just have a look around and get applying. Next up we have number two. This is one of the second I think most common misconceptions out there that general practice nursing is somewhere to retire to and I've had a lot of comments saying oh I might just get some experience on the ward and things like that and then go into it later on in life. Why? Why? If general practice is where you want to be just go for it and trust me you don't want to be retiring into general practice. I mean obviously you want a long happy career and then retire from that career in general practice you can do that. However it is hard work. People often say this because they think general practice nurses sit around drinking tea all day having a great time. I mean we do have a cup of tea every now and then and we do have a great time but it's not one of those lazy jobs that we sit around doing nothing. We are so busy we're up and down up and down. We've got so many patients a lot more patients that you get in a day on the wards. It is it is hectic in general practice nursing and not only that it's not just a fast pace but you're gonna get acute things through the door you're gonna see different ages so you have to adapt yourself to every single scenario that you walk into. You could have a baby in the morning for your immunizations then you could have a smear test then you can have an ECG for heart palpitations then you could have some injections to do then you could be called up to the flu vaccines or the COVID vaccines. It doesn't matter what your day consists of there will always be something either added extra to your day there'll be different variations throughout the day so it is busy and it is non-stop but it is the best career ever. So no it's not somewhere just to retire to and all of that brings me very very nicely on to the misconception number three. So this one is all about de-skilling why do people say this oh I'm gonna de-skill as a GP nurse because I won't be doing this and no I've never heard such nonsense in all my life. So I feel personally don't take offense anybody out there I feel personally that I have up-skilled definitely up-skilled in general practice nursing because I'm doing so much more than I've ever done when I was out on placements on the wards for example if you were on a orthopedic ward and that's where you want to specialise that's absolutely brilliant I loved my orthopedic placements however the set of skills you have on that ward is very very different to what you're going to be doing in general practice nursing and because general practice nursing is so varied you need many skills to be a general practice nurse it's not one particular set of skills for one speciality you're going to be having to adapt and adjust all the time so you need all of those skills the only things I will say that we don't really do is things like IVs we don't really do IVs in general practice nursing so if you want that particular skill then maybe go A&E or wards or wherever you want to do if you particularly want that particular clinical skill then go for it but general practice nursing is a whole new set of skills that are just amazing and definitely I know I'm not de-skilled. Misconception number four. People often think that to become a general practice nurse you need a whole load of extra qualifications so this is a 50-50 one so because of all the other things that I've already discussed about de-skilling or up-skilling and things like that you will have to do extra training to become a general practice nurse however you don't need those prior to going into general practice nursing it's something you very much train on the job to do so you will secure your job then you'll do the extra training to be able to do smears to be able to do baby immunizations to be able to give vaccines to be able to give steroid injections implants all those different sort of things that you might not be doing at the minute wherever you're working or as a student you will learn those skills on the job and they will either teach you on-site some GPs will put you through different training courses as and when through practice or you will go on to the fundamentals of primary care course or sometimes it's called the foundations of general practice nursing course it depends where you are in the world this is a dedicated course at university that you can go on but you need to be in a secure job first before you do that course because it runs alongside your work and you need a mentor at your work and you need to be putting these into practice as you learn them and get them signed off so they're the two kind of different ways of doing it so technically yes you will do extra qualifications and training as a general practice nurse but it's not something that you need specifically before training and in fact you probably couldn't do it before you get into that job because you're not gonna learn those skills unless you're in the job if that makes sense and my last misconception number five so a lot of people seem to think that general practice nursing is all about just seeing elderly people or you're just doing that same thing over and over again as a practice nurse but actually that is probably one of the biggest myths maybe I don't know and I know this was kind of what I thought as well before I ever went into general practice nurse so all of these myths actually that I'm telling you are things I thought before I even set foot into practice and it was only because as a student nurse that I got that placement in general practice and saw all of the amazing things that nurses did out there and how amazing it is and fell in love with it that is how I got to know it so this is why I'm doing these videos to try and get rid of these myths and make you think more about different options in nursing because you don't have to stick to that acute sector if you don't want to but anyway I'm diverting from this so no we don't just see old people so yes we will see old-aged people as well but we also see children we see babies we say pregnant people we are seeing a whole range of people and not just that but a whole ranges of fields of nursing so we also deal with mental health crises we deal with learning disabilities dementia all sorts of different fields of nursing all sorts of different ages so please don't think that general practice nursing is just for the older aged people because this is not true and the sort of things that we do do are like I've already discussed the baby humanizations we're doing smear tests on young people from 24 years and a half upwards we are doing things like contraception checks with younger people as well as older people we'll see younger people as well for things like their injections if they're on any vaccinations if they've got wounds for example I treated a two-year-old with a burn to the leg so don't think that you're just gonna be seeing the same ages and the same type of patients because that's absolutely the biggest myth I think as well as the rest but not only that as I've already discussed in this video that the days are so varied you will get one patient then a different patient then a completely different patient and no days are the same no sessions are the same no hour is the same in general practice nursing you are not stuck doing the same things because there are so many things you will cover as a general practice nurse and the day is just so fast and it's amazing so that is it from me that is all my misconceptions for general practice nursing if you can think of anything else or any question you would like to ask me drop a comment below and I'll try my best to answer as best as possible or direct you to the place where you need to be just have a little look and open your mind


Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101. I know Pimp as Chad Butler. OK. Now, this is the thing that Pimp did that he didn't do around a lot of people. When I was on the tour with him, we would, you know, do our music and get off the stage and do it. He would always call me and say, and I was marking. She said that. She would always come in. Hey, Ryan, what you doing? I said, man, I'm just innocent. Man, come on down here. Let's go to the Waffle House. I need to eat some steak and eggs. I said, OK, steak and eggs. I said, yeah, we're going to get steak and eggs. I don't want nobody else with us just going to be me and you. So he still got his Pimp feel talking to me.  He never turned on and off?  So it's like, when he get ready to go to the show, well, I put it this way. When we together, he's like real calm and just say, hey, man, come on, man, let's go.  Buy some stuff for the next show or something. Cool. The character ain't out yet. But soon as we get out the car, the character kick in. So we're getting ready to go to the mall. We don't realize how early it is. It ain't open. So the security come to the door. And this is the first time he talked. So he say, I wonder why y'all don't open the door for me. I'm Pimp C. Y'all don't open this damn door. I'm trying to spend some money. You know what I'm saying? So I'm looking and I'm saying, he didn't change. You know what I'm saying? He didn't change the character. He say, you know who I am? I'm Pimp C. Open the door. I got money. So he said, man, we ain't open.  Open the door. Open it. So I'm like, man. So I'm just sitting back and saying, what you waiting on? Come on in. So I said, all right, see, come on in. I come on in and he kind of, he said, we just going to win the shot. So he got his hands and he do his mouth like that. We just going to win the shot.  Because I perform and I'm like, man. So he say, Ronnie, what you want? I say, man, whatever you need me to be in. He said, get what you want because I'm paying for it. I got money. So I'm like, man, so the security go, OK, yes, sir. Oh, yes, sir. We're going to go get my manager so we can open the door. Go get him. So I said, man, I'm looking at this cat. I'm like, man. What city we are in? He really, we was in Chicago. I'm chilling. I'm like, man, I'm sitting there myself. He really is turning to the character again. So you know what I'm saying? So after we got all our stuff and then we get back in the car, he said, all right, man, we're going to eat. I said, we're going to eat. He said, yeah, whatever you want, we're going to eat. All right. So I look at him. I say, well, why you ain't that character anymore? He said, this is the thing. I don't. My name is Pimp C. That's my my stage name. And that's who I am. So I have to have the Pimpish talk when I'm out because that's what they know me by. Yeah.  And he will only turn into Chad Butler as far as I'm concerned with me because I don't smoke. I don't drink. So he knew I was always focused. So he like, and you cool. You laid back. And it's funny.  OK.  Really? Everybody else, that dog's going to bite if it don't know him. So she was, I'm the only one that she would let hold a cock or spaniel and she kept him clean. And she, that dog got groomed more than some dudes at the back. I like, man, and she had him in every show. And she come and she come and say, Ronnie, come down there. I need you to walk, watch my dog come in. I got to go to the store. So OK, cool.
