Hello I'm Stephanie Williams, the Santa Rosa City Clerk. In 2018 the City of Santa Rosa transitioned from at-large to district-based elections. Through a series of many public hearings and draft maps the City Council narrowed its election down to a map dividing the city into seven districts. In 2018 the seats for districts 2, 4, and 6 were filled when John Sawyer was elected to represent District 2, Victoria Fleming was elected to represent District 4, and Tom Schwedhelm was elected to represent District 6. The November 2020 election will transition the remaining at-large seats into district-based seats, providing representation to districts 1, 3, 5, and 7. Registered voters residing in these neighborhoods will vote for district representatives for the first time in the November 3rd election. The Council Candidate nomination period opens Monday July 13th and closes on Friday August 7th. If you reside in District 1, 3, 5, or 7 and are interested in running for a seat within your district, please make an appointment with me by calling the City Clerk's Office at 543-3015 or email me at swilliamsatsrcity.org. There are many things that need to be done before a nomination is filed including completion of the nomination petition, a statement of qualifications, campaign statements, a declaration of candidacy, and more. To ensure that you have everything in order by the close of the nomination period of August 7th, it is important that you schedule your appointment with me in the City Clerk's Office as soon as possible. At your appointment, we will go over the necessary forms that need to be filed and fees paid to make sure that your candidacy nomination is filed by the deadline. At the City Clerk's Office, we are observing all social distancing protocols and hygiene protocols and are requiring face coverings for anyone entering the building. We are also asking that you only bring one other person with you to the appointment. If you are unable to come into the City Clerk's Office in person, please do not hesitate to contact me so we can make other arrangements for your appointment to get your nomination papers filed. Running for public office is in an important way to contribute to your community and the City Clerk's Office is here to help you through the process and for you to get involved. For more information, visit srcity.org slash 2020 election. Thank you.


It says this, I'll put the name on here, Mr. Dook. Energy is the ability to do work. That's how it is defined, one mark. What's the minimum amount of work that it would take for a 55 kilogram student to climb a six meter high flight of stairs? And the reason I said minimum is there is friction forces in the direction of the ramp of the stairs. We're gonna ignore those. Minimum, you're having to increase your potential energy. Minimum, you're having to resist gravity in that direction. You're gaining potential energy and that work is coming from your muscles. That energy is coming from your muscles, which is coming from the food that you ate. Minimum, it's gonna be 55 times 9.8 times six. And 55 times 9.8 times six is going to be, yep, times 9.8 times six. You need 3,230 joules of energy. 3.23 times 10 to the third joules. Is that right? Yeah, okay. Now, was this asking for a change in or anything like that? Nope. And I could use this definition of work. Now, by the way, what I really did, I guess technically was this. I really said work equals the change in potential plus the change in kinetic. And then I said, Brianne, they're not talking about a final and initial speeds. I'm gonna assume you start at rest and end at rest. So I'm gonna assume your change in kinetic is zero. What's change in anything, Brianna? And I'm gonna assume initial potential is zero and that's where the MGH comes from. But you can also derive it from force times distance. Which force, gravity? Which distance? Vertical distance, okay? You're on the ground. Your initial height is zero. I'm talking number two here. I'm still talking question two, okay? Okay, question two, we're good? Now, question three is different. Question three says total energy. When I say total, I think that means find everything and add it up. That usually what it's meant, total something up. So for question three, I think total energy is gonna be, I'll call it energy T for energy total. It's gonna be all of the potential plus all of the kinetic. How much potential? Well, that's MGH. How much kinetic? That's a half MV squared. And now it's plug and chug. It has this much energy at that particular time. It has mass two G, 9.8. Brett, what's the height? Five plus half M two V squared. Also five meters per second squared. The total energy is two times 9.8 times five plus 0.5 times two times five squared. I can do this in my head. This is gonna be 25 and 98. 25 and 98 is gonna be 124, I betcha.  And Cara, the law of conservation of energy says the ball has that much energy anywhere in its flight. At the top, it has 123 joules of potential, no kinetic. At the bottom, it has 123 joules of kinetic, no potential. In the between, it has in between. Using the following graph of force versus position, find the total work done in moving an object from zero to five meters. The total work done, well, work equals force times distance. They haven't really given me a force and a distance. Oh, wait a minute, here is where I'm gonna use Joel, the area underneath a force versus distance graph. It's going to be that area. Now that shape is a trapezoid. Who knows the area of a trapezoid equation? So the reason you don't know it is, Matt, it's kind of redundant. Really, what almost everyone does is they go, oh, okay, I'm gonna call the triangle area one and the rectangle area two. The work in area one is gonna be base times height divided by two, which is gonna be base three times height divided by two, which is gonna be 300 joules. The work in area two is going to be, oh, that's just gonna be length times width because it's a rectangle. Length is two, the width is 200, 400 joules. Total amount of work, seven, B, 700 joules.  You know how much kinetic energy the object gained? 700. And if you knew how much kinetic energy it gained and you knew its mass, you could actually find out how fast it was traveling, B squared, so for B. Oh, apparently I thought of that question number five. That makes sense, that's going, the great question to ask. If the graph in question four represents the work done on a four kilogram mass, find the speed if it was initially at rest. So work is also change in kinetic plus change in potential. Nicole, does this question mention a change in height at all? What was my initial kinetic? Well, it says initially at rest, so what's my initial kinetic? And what's change in anything? I think you thought it right and said it wrong, but that's okay. You know what? The work is actually gonna end up being the final kinetic energy. It's gonna end up being a half MV final squared and it was, I believe, 700 joules of work. I think the final velocity is gonna be two times 700 divided by the mass square rooted. Yes? Okay. Two times 700 divided by the mass square rooted. You know what? It's gonna be 18.7 meters per second. I like that question, that combination of four and five. Yo, no, you know why? Force times distance only works when your force is never changing. What's happening to the force for this section? It's changing. You found the average force. You went 200 divided by five? How'd you divide, 700 divided by, okay, okay, now, here's what I'll say. You didn't actually go force times distance. You went average force times distance by finding out the total amount of energy and then working backwards. Yes, I think that is a valid approach. I'm gonna say mines way faster, okay? But the risk is, like a lot of kids will say, oh, the force is 200 times five, oh, 1,000. That's how much energy, no, that you cannot do. So if you corrected for that, then yes. Good question. All right, number six, huh? Well, they want power, so I wrote down, I know that power is work over time. That must mean that there's a time in this question and there is, I think the amount of time we're talking about is 60 seconds. That must mean there's a work, work is what times what. Well, first thing I'm gonna go, I'm gonna think work is force times distance. Now it's an escalator, which means you're doing work against gravity. I think it's gonna be MGH. I think work is gonna be, how much mass? Well, one passenger is 60, but how many passengers are we moving in a minute? I think the total mass is 60 times 20. G, good old 9.8. Why did they give me this particular diagram to confuse me? They're hoping some kids will use the 10 and I'm willing to bet one of these answers is what you get if you use 10 as your distance because, well, it's moving in that direction, yeah, but the force is not in that direction. It's not the direction that you're moving. It's which direction is the force that you're resisting, vertical, so you look at your vertical displacement? In fact, I think it's gonna be 60 times 20 times 9.8 times five. Conveniently, I think I can do this Mitchell without a calculator because those 60s will cancel. And I know that 25 times, 20 times five is 100. This is 100 times 9.8. I'm pretty sure the answer is at 980. What? Ooh, no calculator, Mr. Deuxie. The minimum motor that that escalator can have is a 1,000 watt motor if it's planning on having that kind of an output. If it wants to be able to move 20 passengers a minute, that's one passenger every three seconds. I'm guessing they would actually have a bigger motor than that because escalators I think can move more than 20 passengers in a minute. How many of you have been on SkyTrain before? In Vancouver? Okay, so I think it's the waterfront station. There's one very, very, very long escalator. It's like a two and a half storage. So that one there, much bigger height, that's got to have a pretty hefty, because that would give you a bigger number here, a bigger number here, that's got to have a pretty hefty electric motor. Because it is one continuous one. They don't usually, they'll stop, build a ramp, and then have you walk on to the next one. That's to save money and use a smaller motor. But this one for some reason they couldn't or they didn't. And that's also why you rarely see hugely, hugely long escalators. You need a huge motor to run them. Much easier to break it into two or three. Make sense? I would love to find out how many watts, how many watts the electric motors on the roller coasters, the chain motors. I'd love to find out how many watts those are, because I'm pretty sure those are electric motors, not gas. They've got to be pretty hefty as well. Number seven, how much work is required to stop a 1200 kilogram car moving at 10 kilometers per hour? Well, see here, Jacob, I would think work equals force times distance. And you can probably calculate the acceleration, go MA in force times distance. I think it's going to be easier to say it's that. Plus the change in potential, but let's assume the car isn't changing height, which is going to be ke minus ke initial. I think the amount of work is going to be zero minus a half mv final squared. I got a bit of a problem with this 10. V final is actually going to be 10 divided by 3.6. That's going to be meters per second. And I was going to go to my calculator and I said, hey, wait a minute, why don't I just put that in over here and save myself the type in Kayla. I think it's going to be 0.5 times the mass, 1200 times 10 over 3.6 squared. I get 4,629, actually 4,630 joules of work. Is that okay? Which force is doing the work? Which force is doing the work? Matt, friction, okay? Now this is where Jake's question about force times distance is kind of nice. On an icy day, is friction bigger or smaller? Smaller, so the distance has to get bigger. That's why it takes you longer to stop on an icy day and you have to give yourself more stopping. Ah, makes sense, but there's the physics explanation. I kind of figured that out by draw, I think, yeah, but that's why, okay? Tarzan says, use the following information for eight and nine. Tarzan swings from his vine. I guess he starts right here from a height of 2.5 meters at the end of his swing. He is only 2.5, four meters above the ground. How much work has been done by friction? Is there a change in height? Yeah, is there a change in speed? Probably. Is it a nice straight path or is it a curvy path? This is where I'm gonna use conservation of energy because when they say how much work has been done by friction, what we call that all the time is heat. And I'm gonna go like this. Kinetic energy initial plus potential energy initial equals kinetic energy final plus potential energy final plus heat. Are any of these zero? How fast is he traveling right here? How high is he right here? Zero? Nope. How fast is he traveling right here? How high is he right here? Zero? Okay. Oh, but it looks like I think heat is just gonna be your initial potential energy minus your final potential energy. It's gonna be MGH initial minus MGH final. Do the M's cancel this time? No, there's no M in heat. This is going to be mass 75 times 9.8 times 2.5 minus 75 times 9.8 times 2.4. You get 73.5 joules. Heat equals 73.5 joules, which I believe is answer A. Nine, now if there was no friction, what would Tarzan's velocity be at the bottom of the swing? Is there a change in height? Yeah, and a change in speed. I'm gonna use conservation of energy. Kinetic energy initial plus potential energy initial equals kinetic energy final plus potential energy final. No heat. And again, I think initial kinetic is zero. And I think at the bottom of the swing, the final potential is zero because you're on the ground. I think I can go MGH initial equals 1.5 MV final squared. Now this time as it turns out, the masses do cancel because we're ignoring friction. Yay. In fact, I think V final is gonna be two GH initial square rooted. I think it's gonna be two times 9.8 times 2.5. Oh, square root of 49. Is it exactly seven? Seven. A roller coaster car of mass 1,000 kilograms traveling with an initial velocity of four meters per second is 18 meters above the ground. It drops to the ground and then climbs a 10 meter high hill. A, how fast is it traveling at the bottom of the hill? Okay. Kinetic energy initial plus potential energy initial equals kinetic energy final plus potential energy final. Thankfully, I'm pretty sure that's zero. I don't think initial kinetic is though. It's got a velocity here in my diagram. Don't, needs a bit more work. A half MVI squared plus MGHI equals a half MV final squared. Masses cancel, which is nice. And this is also Conor where I tended to go times by two, times by two, times by two to get rid of that one half and that one half. It gave me a prettier equation. I get this. V final squared equals V initial squared plus two GH initial. And you may see VF squared equals VI squared plus 2AD. That's where the equation actually comes from.  Four squared plus two times 9.8 times 18 equals square root. You get 19.2. Yeah, keep on wanting. In terms of marking, I would probably go something like this. One mark if I saw that, one mark if I saw that and then one mark for the answer. How fast is it traveling at the top of the second hill? I'm gonna start out exactly the same. Kinetic energy initial plus potential energy initial equals kinetic energy final plus potential energy final. Sadly, none of these is zero. Okay, so it's a little bit of plug and chug. A half MVI squared plus MGH initial equals a half MV final squared plus MGH final. Once again, the mass cancels. Once again, I'm gonna times by two times by two times by two times by two so that they cancel here and they cancel here. I'm gonna get this. V initial squared plus two GH initial equals V final squared plus two GH final. Say how would I get the VF squared by itself? Subtract this first, yes. I canceled out my M's because I could and I multiplied by two to get rid of fractions. You don't have to, I just do because it makes the numbers cleaner. So if I hear you correctly, we're gonna get this. VF squared equals VI squared plus two GHI minus two GH final.  Is that what I did? Conveniently, I have half of that already typed on my calculator. See, one less mark? Minus two times 9.8 times 10 square root. Do you get 13.1? Because it is. In terms of work, I'd give you one mark if I saw that, give you one mark if I saw that, one mark for that, one mark for the answer. Yo, you canceled potential and initial, you still got that answer? Good enough. So what did you cancel? Tell me. That. And, so you canceled that, which would have canceled that, which would mean your equation would have been this. I'm just multiplying it by zero to cancel it. See how clever? No way you could have got that, you would have got a calculator error. Okay, Shawn, if you use this at the bottom, then you could cancel out, but okay. You need to tell me that, because doing it the other way, no way. Now, that's a perfectly valid way, the only risk is you're gambling, this better be right. Otherwise you could be using a wrong answer to find the wrong answer. For me, I almost never do that on a test, Rick, quiz, even if it's more work, I'll use the information that they gave me almost whenever possible, unless I'm absolutely positive I've done it right. Yeah, that's valid. Sorry, I was like, don't think you can, I'm getting a negative when I do it in my head. Yeah, negative square root. What was this quiz out of? Out of 16? Give yourself a score out of, does that work, 16? Let's see. Seven marks plus nine. Sure, that works. Give yourself a lovely score out of 16, please. Brandon, put an omit on yours, please. I would normally collect these, but you probably want these to study from, yes? So person on the end of each row, write your name on a piece of paper, put the score there, and pass a piece of paper along.


Ankylosing spondylitis, AS, is a chronic inflammatory condition affecting the joints of the spine and pelvis. It is caused by an overactive immune system which attacks healthy cells, leading to inflammation and damage to the bones and ligaments. Symptoms include chronic lower back pain, joint pain, and stiffness. Diagnosis may be delayed due to similarities between AS and other conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or tuberculosis. Early diagnosis and treatment is key to preventing further damage and disability. Treatment includes medication, physiotherapy, and lifestyle changes. This article was authored by TZ Ananova.


The topic is of central importance today for the fate of the Ummah. And in 10 minutes it's not possible to cover, but it will not be possible to cover in 10 years also, so might as well make a stab at it. Let's see now, there are so many things that I would like to say, but let's say that you see Islam launched a knowledge revolution.  This is because Islam is unique in encouraging knowledge and there is so much on pursuit of knowledge that it's impossible to summarize and everybody knows it so I won't go through those materials.  So, encouraging us to question tradition. This is really a radically different approach from every religion that instead of saying that okay you have to believe because this is what everybody else is doing. It says no question what everybody else does and in fact you can trace this that this idea that enlightenment Quran was was actually any one of the things that is hidden from us because of Eurocentric history is that the light of the Quran is actually what ended the dark ages of Europe. And there was a century where Arabic was taught in Europe and and Arabic and all of the leading scholars learned Arabic, and that was the intellectual language, until they completed their translations. Anyway, so the problem. So, I was just that's just something the background, the point is that how did this civilization. Now today we are again in Jahlia and the prophecy of the Quran of the hadith that Islam came as a stranger and will become a stranger has come true. And today, we are crawling into lizard holds after Christians and Jews, exactly as prophecy. And this crawling into should be interpreted in the sense of knowledge that today in 99% of the vast majority of the Islamic world, the respect for Western knowledge is far greater than that of the Quran in my own discipline of economics. So we can show example after example of Islamic economists who came up with the conflict in the Quran and in the Samuelson, and then they preferred the Samuelson and reinterpret the Quran to make it conform. And so basically, I have also written on many occasions recently that all of social science is an illusion, it is, it should be called it's not to call social science, it should be called European social science or Western social science. It's not a science, there's a double mistake that the idea, first of all, there's a deep misunderstanding of scientific methodology. And then the second mistake is to use this wrong methodology of science and then apply it to the study of humanities which it cannot be done. So, definitely, there is an alternative and this is not just ideas I have been working on this for more than 10 years. And Alhamdulillah Allah has guided me to show that in economics, we can just throw away all of the current texts and rebuild on new foundations. And similarly, I'm currently working on econometrics and statistics, and even these apparently objective and solid looking sciences are built on false methodology and therefore they lead to wrong results routinely. And so that's why this idea that you know that the most widely sold book in the statistics area is called How to Lie with Statistics. That is the title of the most widely sold book and this is exactly the truth. Statistics is just a bunch of lies, but at the same time, it has so much respect that, and of course it doesn't matter if it has respect in Europe, but the problem is that the Muslims respect it. The point is that we have to show how this works. It's not enough because Muslims start believing in science, so we have to break the, we have to break the idol of Western knowledge. And we have to show that this book is false. This is a fake, this is an illusion of knowledge and not real knowledge. But now, when we come to knowledge, then it's clear that knowledge is power and vice versa. It is in the interest of the hegemonic interest of the West, not to have this challenged. And so also for us, I have analyzed this problem very carefully of how we can introduce a new paradigm for knowledge and basically, you know, Max Planck, he was introduced quantum mechanics and he said that science progresses one funeral at a time because people refuse to accept his quantum mechanic theory. And basically it's only when the people who adhere to the older things die out that the younger generation comes up. So basically one thing that I have conclusion that I've reached, looking at the fate of heterodox economics, so many people came up with so many brilliant ideas within a secular modern paradigm, which counters neoclassical and not one of them made any headway. I mean, it's almost obvious that the, the wealth in a society is distributed according to the class and according to the power. But the economics textbooks, and this is what Marx said, but the economics don't even mention this idea, they just ridicule it. And when I was a graduate student, I learned to ridicule it and not study it much, much later I realized that Marx is talking simple truth. And now the all over the USA they were two or three heterodox schools and even those have been marginalized and disbanded. And basically, when it comes to power we cannot succeed in converting the West and we should not try. It's just a waste of effort we should not try to publish our articles in the top two journals, we should not try to even speak to the West in the sense of trying to do that. What we need to do is to introduce these uloom to the Muslim Ummah, to only basically Muslims. And there's another reason for that which I think Abdullah mentioned, that you see in the in the West when they go through the training, they have only this one paradigm and when you say that this paradigm is all wrong, this completely disrupts their picture of the world they just they have no place to stand on. And so they find this very disorienting and they will resist to the maximum any effort to disrupt this paradigm as opposed to this. The student is built, is educated in two conflicting and contradictory paradigms he holds this paradigm which says that the heart is the most important source of knowledge. And there is a piece of flesh in your body which, if it is right then everything is right. Jalla ala kumussama wal absara wal affida we have created for you the heart and the. Jalla ala kumussama wal absara wal affida all three are sources of knowledge. Our hearts can recognize God and they can recognize truth. But this cannot be that Eman doesn't enter the brains it enters the heart. But in the West they deny the validity of heart and they say oh this is just emotion. So the Muslim is aware of this conflict in this epistemology and we if we say that we reject the Western epistemology he has a place to stand or he can reflect on this possibility, because he has another platform on which he can stand and ponder that yes, maybe this might be true, but the Western intellectual does not have an alternative. So, basically, I'm talking about strategy. How can we work because the job that I am engaged in that Recep is engaged in is massive what I'm saying that we need to rewrite social sciences from scratch. And so basically, let me end by saying that the current paradigm all over the Islamic world by sincere and this is actually the dominant paradigm, I would say 90% of the people say that we just shunt Islamic teachings to the side. The real thing that knowledge at this time is the three centuries of knowledge that West acquired, and that is that is the main thing. So then the remaining 99% recognize that this is problematic and they say that the real project for the time is Islamization of knowledge. We take this Western knowledge and we Islamize it. And I say that both of these approaches are wrong. And what we need is what I call the Ghazali project. So the Ghazali project starts with the, I can you can split it into three parts, So first, getting rid of the darkness and understanding that the faith that we have is the most important treasure, and that the knowledge that we have been given by God is far superior to anything that anyone else can gather. Today, most Muslims don't believe this. They think that Einstein is the wisest man on the planet and so on. So because we have been indoctrinated into these beliefs that the Western knowledge that science and technology and Islam as exactly as that science and technology is the only hope for the future and the problem for the Muslims is that they need to learn science. Okay, so and since science itself creates a lot of wrong assumptions and conflicts with Islam. So what we need to do is modify science. So I say no, first we strengthen our faith that our knowledge is the most important. The second part is the half of the philosophy. So we reject the bases of Western science we reject social science because it's just all wrong it's basically Eurocentric prejudice, and it has there is nothing no solid substance. So we reject physical science in the sense that, although science and technology is important the near the intention with which the science was created was to impose power on others. And Islam teaches us that power is the for the purpose of helping the oppressed. So once we study science from the with a different near then a different kind of science will emerge. So this current battle over patents for vaccines. This is all because of the wrong idea about the science is meant for wealth and power and profits. And so this is this is why we are getting the wrong kinds of results from it. So we reject all of the and we have so we have to rebuild all of these things from scratch. When we study biology, we should be studying the eye at Allah how amazing the creation of God in in terms of our biological. So the third part so so instead of Islamization of knowledge we reject Western knowledge and we say that we need to rebuild this whole thing from scratch. The third part is I hear a little bit. So this is exactly where Rajab's work is I am actually engaged in the hospital philosophy. I am working very hard to show that what in my own discipline, what the conventional, the Orthodox is saying is completely wrong. Another separate project, which is a little bit to show that our Dean offers a perfectly satisfactory comfortable basis and our intellectual tradition to rebuild the social sciences on on traditional Islamic grounds. And so the audience for this is our own students in Islamic tradition. The target of our efforts should be to recreate education, the in Islamic world, and to rebuild it with a spiritual content with the basis this is something which has been washed out of US education, university education in the West. In the early 20th century, they used to concentrate on character building so they had some element of religion and spirituality, but for reasons which are complex and I have covered elsewhere. This got washed out so now the whole world is spiritually stunted and that is the main problem that we face we are we have our education creates moral midgets. So we have to counter this by creating an educational process in the East, which builds spirituality and also provides worldly knowledge. Okay, so I think I'll stop here. Thank you very much.


This notion of end behavior leads to the idea of a horizontal asymptote. This emerges as follows. If we graph an equation, the end behavior of the expressions tell us something about what happens very far away from the origin. Suppose that as x goes to infinity, y goes to k. Then, as we go to the far, far, far, far, far right, the points x, y will get close to the line y equals k. And we say that y equals k is a horizontal asymptote. Similarly, if as x goes to minus infinity, y goes to h, then y equals h is a horizontal asymptote. So, for example, find the end behavior of 1 over x cubed and interpret in terms of asymptotes of the graph of y equals 1 over x cubed. So, as x goes to infinity, 1 over x cubed goes to 0. And equals means replaceable. So, if y equals 1 over x cubed, y also goes to 0. And that means the line y equals 0 is a horizontal asymptote. And so, if we follow our graph of y equals 1 over x cubed to the far, far, far, far right, our points will approach y equals 0. What happens in the other direction? As x goes to minus infinity, 1 over x cubed goes to 0. So, again, y equals 0 is a horizontal asymptote. And so, once again, if we follow our graph to the far, far, far, far left, our y coordinates will approach 0, and our graph will approach the line y equals 0. Now, but a more general rational expression. So, an idea to keep in mind here is that it's easier to solve a lot of little problems than one big problem. So, what can we do? If we divide numerator and denominator by the highest power of x in the denominator, we'll create a lot of little problems. So, we see that in the denominator, our highest power of x is x squared. So, we'll divide numerator and denominator by x squared. Equivalently, we'll multiply by 1 over x squared. So, if we do that, we get... And let's simplify each of our terms. Now, we're interested in knowing what happens as x goes to plus or minus infinity. So, that means we should ask ourselves what happens to 7 over x, 8 over x squared, 4 over x, and 5 over x squared. As x goes to plus or minus infinity, these expressions go to... And so, the numerator of our expression is going to go to 1 plus 0 plus 0. And the denominator is going to go to 3 plus 0 plus 0. So, our expression is going to go to 1 third. So, y equals 1 third is a horizontal asymptote in both directions. How about something like this? So, we want to consider the end behavior of our function 3 plus 3x plus 7 over x squared plus 5x plus 7. So, we want to know what happens as x goes to plus or minus infinity. So, we want to divide numerator and denominator by the highest power of x in the denominator. And that power is x squared. So, if we multiply numerator and denominator by 1 over x squared, we get... Which we can simplify. And as x goes to infinity, 3 over x and 7 over x squared go to... 0 and 5 over x and 7 over x squared go to... 0 as well. And so, our expression goes to... 3. So, y equals 3 is a horizontal asymptote. Or, take something like this. So, again, we want to divide by the highest power of x in the denominator. So, that highest power is... x squared. So, multiplying by 1 over x squared, simplifying, and as x goes to plus or minus infinity, 3 over x and 5 over x squared and 18 over x squared all go to... 0, 100 stays 100, but this numerator x is going to go to plus or minus infinity. And what that means is that this whole expression is going to go to plus or minus infinity. And we could say that y is going to go to plus or minus infinity. More importantly, we make the observation that there are no horizontal asymptotes.


Absolutely fantastic, always nice, hanging out with you right here on this morning show and my good name is Sakwa and I'm so excited to be right here. This is exactly the last segment of this morning show today. But as always, we can interact on our socials, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Advaitouforfourchannel, underscore on the ground and press on Sakwa one on that hashtag which is hashtag Y in the morning, okay? That's where you get to get the juice. And on this segment, it's all about MCM. And we're definitely going to argue a little bit, okay? So you got to check. So here we are, we can balance for Sihi and, for Sihi and what? They're called phrasal verbs in English, phrasal verbs for those that study English as a minor, as a major. So today we're going to talk about how do you officially, is it, should it be officially or just let's say merely, how do you officially end an argument, especially those that argue a lot with a better half, could be your brother, could be your sister. But they're both sibling rivalry. Sometimes it never ends. But you know what? At the end of the day, as well as those arguments that pop up left, right and center, but you have to keep them objective. But that's escalate like from a thousand to, you know, 50,000 or from zero to a thousand really fast. That's literally the conversation we're going to delve into on our Facebook, Instagram and on Twitter as well. And joining us live in studio today are two powerful lady and gentlemen. I'm going to let them introduce themselves. I'm going to start with the lady. First of all, good morning guys. Good morning. So I'm going to let you introduce yourselves and maybe perhaps what you guys do. First, we can get to the topic at hand. I'm Susamora. I am a journalist. Okay. Journalist, period. But photography. Yeah. And that's how I earn my living. Right. Amazing. You guys are like in the same field, which is really amazing. Now let's get to the topic. And as much as you guys still in the same field, as you work with people, you meet different people, not just family, but even workplaces, your networking, even for you to get here. You spoke to one, two, three people. But there's those that conversations just don't click. And there's those you agree and those you don't agree. But then there's somebody who mentioned you can agree to disagree or disagree to agree. But now it comes now on argument, especially, can I say maybe the toxic conversations, Zealand buzzes in and up, you're like, we are Marushayu, Matusi, we are Maiki, we are Kabla, to proportion, and then ecocoa toxic, especially now in a normal day-to-day conversation. How do you guys argue objectively? First of all, maybe let's start from a point like what exactly makes arguments to pop up? Before we get to like how do you end an argument? Maybe perhaps I can start with you Susan. Like what do you think Inafanya will say when I disagree, especially in conversations mostly?  Okay. The other person I feel like, I mean, come on me discourage you are then and as I take it personally. So the argument is as I put the term and I feel like no, yeah, I feel like I was in if I knew it was so what I can say is just just control your argument in a letter, you're okay too. Just control it, see, end it, and extend it and it's a funny, like as theorists fight about argument. Yeah. Yeah. Now, apoco relationships in the way is in Ashikasana. But I'd also like to hear from you, Eric, what do you think from your experience? Even as a gentleman, you know, for younger I say Ina disagree. Now, talk with us, you know, if it was on a disagree on it, it was very minute, like very tiny things. You said this, I didn't agree with that.  Like for me, what makes people to disagree? I think first before getting into a conversation, you risk opening your mouth. So mostly you'll find probably what you're thinking, and maybe what you'll utter will not be the same, maybe to what person, the other person at a skier, from you. But then once you start engaging, then you know, this other person mentally what he's thinking, and maybe probably what you guys want to engage about. But then you find probably because people have been raised from different backgrounds. So what you've probably engaged and maybe come across with that, maybe a friend at a corner, maybe a different thing. So I think before making a conversation with somebody, then you really risk opening your mouth and they would do it, but that's the money in it. But those instances where you're speaking to, maybe you speak to a person you don't like, of course it was depending on what I'm saying, it's just natural, there's nothing you can do about it. But then, for example, it's the conversations of politicians, it's the political analysts, they could say the opposition, it may be the side in a lead, and then there are political salvos thrown left, right, and center. But then it's like we're just arguing professionally, and there were no more conversations, no more arguments should happen.  Do you feel such factors contribute? Yeah, I think so because you'll get, at some point, some of the easy phrases like politicians, for example, they're on a route, and they're on the way, and they're on the way, some type of frame, some of them are on the way, what are you saying? So, when you're to myself, in terms of they are bringing, in terms of the rivalry, and there are people who are probably impending, you know, you feel like you're making a lot of money.  So, through that, you could probably be seeing their faces in their on them. So, I guess what you're saying, is that one I could trigger? Yes. Nice. Let me get back to you Susan, and then we'll also figure from that point. Do you feel like, or say, are you saying, is it in my dem, am I in my Charlie? Yes. From your experience, do you feel like it's ladies who argue a lot, or both? Or maybe it's even vice versa?  So, to be able to do that, I have to be able to do it. So, to be able to do it, we can do it.  One thing is, I find it like, I had to know, no, I've had to ask you once, but I just want to know, I've had to ask you once, but I'm not going to ask you, I'm going to ask you to control, but as ladies, I'm going to ask you to control. So, we don't have to come on any left right. But, but I'm going to ask you to control, I'm going to ask you, okay, what I can say is, you know, choose your words before you say me. So, interesting. But most, in most instances, it's usually anger that leads to people to make them argue.  But for in this situation, we're extremely angry. This person has made you angry. How do you regulate the words you say? Because in most cases, when you're angry, anything that comes out of your mouth is extremely toxic. It could be maybe a nice word, but definitely it will just find a way to get toxic to the other person. I took a money compliment. So, you can most have instances where a person is trying to give another compliment, but to them, they're taking it as an insult.   So that's when I say, like, just come down now, you're in a negative, you're in a positive way. So I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, I was like, wow, Susan, you look so smart. I'm like, I'm going to risk. Like Eric mentioned, like everybody reacts. I'm not taking the situation. Everyone sees a situation in the lenses of their background, which I, I, I a thousand percent agree. Because you can imagine, say, when you talk at an abusive home state, well, for example, maybe the person who was trying to compliment them, I look one, I'm torture, I'm a look one, I say, ma in a sarcastic way, he let design, you're like, ah, son, son, I got poor. But then to them, the subconsciously, they're interpreting it in a way that this is abusive. This is toxic. So what one comfortable with compliments. And then that can also lead to a fight or a disagreement. Now, let me shift the same mindset to you, Eric. Do you feel like men in this generation don't argue? Don't argue a lot. We are in a space where we're encouraged to fight back.  Is it even healthy, especially in this day and age? I will say some scientific numbers have come up where you'll find ladies speak more than 200,000 words a day, while men probably speak like 70,000. So people say men are lunatics. Men are lunatics. Yes, while ladies are nuts. Because you probably will not be in the right while you're too much. 20,000 words. So a lot of men are close to 7,000 words. That is in a day? Yes, in a day. So with that statistic, you can be very agitated and a lady, you first think about what they have said, and then you react.  But I have to say, with these 7,000 words, at least 20,000. So yeah, I think before a gentleman really argues with the lady, then That's an interesting statistic. I'll read about it. Now, I'm also on that ear statistic with my piano. What of men who live alone? The next day. So unless you're speaking less than 500 words in a day. Maybe you're going to like two, three people job.  You see, most men really are not people. So if you are really action-oriented men, so that is but then you'll find out that these men who we are not speaking to anybody, probably you're also single. So this happens that mentally, a man meant to not go to coachy. You remember June is the mental health month. So that way, to not do that in a lot of shows, in a lot of people's mouths, I would ask you to mention such things. But then these are things that we also need to check, men not speaking too much.  In the space of interacting with a lot of people, why can't you find a satisfaction in just being alone? And I happened to have met like two, three friends who are like, they just come for to go pick up a guy, so I was really wondering, you know, with what you said like mentally, I feel like maybe it goes also to personality as well. You see, a lot of when you speak a lot, you open your heart a lot. So you will not be holding on to that emotional back. At least you are free. And personality doesn't really matter when it comes to maybe talking because they are friends when you are engaged and when you are with them. But there are people who don't know, it really depends with those people who put you up and those people who try to bring you down.  What do you think, especially in relationship setups that makes women to argue a lot with their other half, especially maybe for person is dating, maybe they are almost engaged as well, or maybe they're just temporary partners because, you know, these things sometimes they last, sometimes they don't. And we've seen people who were dead, they did a massive wedding, but then they argued, by the way, they argued before Kachanda. First, what I can say is, one thing, just be open. Be open about your feelings. Don't worry about being right. No one is perfect. Be open about your feelings and don't worry about your thoughts. Yeah, because no one is perfect. No one is perfect. I feel like I need somebody like, okay, like I need to pay you a piece in your heart. He said, I'm not comfortable with that. I'm just happy. Yeah. But in a relationship, I usually sensitive and also a motive. I don't know if the motive like emotionally invested mostly a lot for the man or for the women. Who do you think invest a lot of emotions in relationships? I mean, it's both. Do you guys feel like it's men who invest in emotions and women? Both. Are both invested in emotions? Yeah. I think for me, it's ladies. Because ladies, oftenly, are more emotional, while men are materialistically... Emotionally unavailable. Yes, unavailable. All right. But also when you look at it from a point of like a young person's mind, for example, in a space of family now, we'll say, well, he grew up, and all this is actually part of the dynamics of what to call interact, which is interpersonal relationships between not even just family, even friends. But how do you, how do you argue objectively with your sibling to a point or more easy? And then you can end it like peacefully, especially when you're first born. Am I any last born? Because I hear last bonds and first bonds, energy are equal. He's like a younger parent to the first born. In fact, you end on a parent the rest of the family.   Am I last born? I'm a first born.  My last born.  Let's pick it up from there. Let's pick it up from there. So from your first born, let me start off with you, Susan. From your first born experience, is it a sister or a brother? A sister. All right. I'm going to argue all my ladies and your star born, as in how, how would she giving instructions and direction? How was she correcting you whenever you missed a marker or you did something wrong? Like, you know, like okay. Let me say, like when I say you're a first born, It was a first-born woman who took my first birth, but she had come out like me. So I was last born and I felt like I was the same. So I felt like I was coming out and I was coming out. I was sitting and I was sitting in my way. I was coming out and I was coming out to see you. So I was going to see you and I was going to drink. I was going to see you. Drinking alcohol? I was drinking alcohol. I was older than the last born. So I did it anyway I did it so I can control. So you just do it. No. No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's a part of, maybe, you know, I did it in video, and it's part of first, but I'm going to say one word, and I make, what I call it, everything. All right. Mr. Firstbun, how are you treating your, your last bones if you have one? Amma, you were the first one and still the last one. There's like a couple of siblings in between. Yeah, I have... We are only two in our family, so... Damn a boy, Amma.  Oh, nice. Balanced still. So how do you treat your sister? You see, to match another three years, so what I've gone through with my parents, it's not the same thing. Amma, same trauma, amma, same situation. Yeah, I'm a Pitya, I'm a Pata, I'm a family of eight. So through that, I'm very humble enough to do... She takes after my father, or takes this after my mother. I'm the one who takes after my mother, I'm the one who takes after my dad. So with that... So you're more reserved and conservative. She's more outgoing and talkative. Yeah. So that way you'll find... I would say, you know, it's a little... I'm a woman, I'm a humble man. And I would say, I'm not very good, but I'm still getting some ideas, you know. So that means, I'm very good at caring. But I'm a... Me, I'm not very good. And I would say, my sister is so beautiful, I'm the first born. She was like, yeah, she's the same. I'm a woman, so I'm not that good. I'm a woman, I'm a woman. But then, with knowing when you bring her up, the fact that you demand respect from her through kumongelesha inna, inna mana that's when you brother ake, when she baba ake, when she mama ake. So that way, na kumne isi a happy life na, probably amta kua nazile sibling conflicts here. So atabuki to ado, mama aku pigi aku ambe, aniko chi ini siuni saidi e, definitely utamu ambe e, labda piamini ko chi ini, isi acha niku peiki dogo, that way ata kua nganana e, lakini brokuna ana kua nga chi ini lakini ana ni saidi e, lakini kamaen ulam tu, inna pigiwa nga mama panna kusho e, si ina ki itu, si uta kua meka si reka, asai ki, ki na doka nga kua nyomba subui, ana ki itu aku fanya. Sasa atasin doa ni welda.  So in short a party big bro energy, ma big sister energy. We were not talking to our real brother about us for a long time, we were saying that he will probably give us a business after the other.  Yeah, it was a big margin, maybe two years LASMA family in a elevate to dogo. If you have a club size, maybe you have a bedroom with a single male. Like Mario Grob, physical and also mental as well. So that way, you have to conflict that much. But then you have to think about it. Maybe you have to think about it.  Then that way, if you have any discipline between new people, if you don't know how to do it, maybe if you are in Tokyo, if you don't know how to do it, you will be dragged somewhere. You will have a very big issue. If you have friends, if you have a brother, if you have a sibling.  But you guys are not coherent. Which you feel is very bad. But I think it depends also. There are people who have a very dense and extremely tight, broken, in fact the word is broken, broken relationship with part of the family. Maybe when you were hurt at some point in life it was so detrimental to their mental or being self-esteem or whatever. So you prefer to even call a friend. And a friend can even help you faster than a family member. Right?  So in a situation like this, if you grow in you, then probably you will mess up, you will say, Mom, you are growing in a family which has a lot of love. But I think there are conflicts and maybe your father is in trouble. Mom is in trouble. Maybe there are maybe twins, there are triplets, there are quadriplets. So maybe there are conflicts, there are problems, there are issues. That's why I really advise schools where there are psychiatrists, maybe there are psychology programs. At least what we do in such toxic families where there is no health, maybe in these situations there are families where there is no health. Maybe there are people who are in trouble. There are people who are sick. There are people who are in trouble. There are people who are in a bad way. There are people who are in a bad way. There are people who are in a bad way. I will tell you a little bit, please tell me, what's the problem? I have a lot to learn. That's a lot to learn. But then back to you Susan, I feel a fear arguing really a bad thing, arguments are not really... an argument is not a bad thing. It also exposes your communication skills, your communication styles.  But then what happens, they keep a record of all the bad things. But then I'm going to do an incident here, Leo II, who I've been looking for for a long time, and I took a whole print out. It's like a whole book. I'm going to go and take a video. Then you'll go to 2012, 2020, 2019, I'm going to take a letter, but I don't know who I'm going to say, I'm going to go and take a video. And then I'm going to explore data, I don't have a chance to explain it. What happens to such people? Okay, one thing, just try to add a certain point of view of someone. So I'm going to add that point of view, people are like, hey, I'm speaking English. You're speaking English, because if you speak English, you can learn English. But then you can rip it up. And then you can say, okay, I'm speaking English, I don't have a place to speak English, or I can post something, or I can read it. And that's the end of that. So I'm going to add that point of view of someone. Right. So I think I have a conclusion. I am a foreigner, I am not a foreigner. I am a foreigner, I am not a foreigner. What if those that, perhaps it comes from a genuine place? Like at the Menteaca, yes, you're trying to correct him or her, but it comes from a genuine place.  Now it's genuine, alhumia, but you didn't notice it. And do you know most of the time when you're hurting someone with words? You can't know if you're hurting them, if your words are hurtful to them. Yeah. Because you don't know the weight of those words and how they affect them emotionally. So what do you from a genuine place hurt? And maybe this is the time, they have to revert. Yeah, maybe let me say like, okay, come out like two friends who are apart. Some of them hurt me, right? Yes. So it's good to have friends who are open to me too. Yeah. I feel like it's good to have friends who are open to me too. So when I'm open to my friends, I just do right. I try to help them or her. Okay. Yeah. Let me sample some of your feedback. I think we've got around six minutes to go. There's somebody in it. Lose Molly and I said, my good morning. Good morning to just been silent.  So there's people who prefer to just like mute no comments, no nothing.  Am I looking like a fool? Maurice Jacob Makoha and I said, my good morning. Good morning to as usual tuning from Kakamega and Musia Cabras. My best line to end an argument is I just keep quiet. What are you guys? Misha Makenya and Nini. And then Henry Dijong and I said, my good morning. Good morning. Tune in live from Vasha. Oh, where were you? Where were you? Where were you? Henry, when you quietly.  Then back when arguments are over. Oh, wow. That's therapeutic. Like you're not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I'm not sure. I guess you could be married. But from your profile, you don't really look married. I'm judging from TV side. See, see, literally. There's, there's what, none of my summer reason you argue. Nice, nice. And it's your, I might say you. Good morning. Good morning to you. And I say, my daughter argue. Maybe I'm talking to her. I'm talking to her. I'm talking to her. I'm talking to her. I'm talking to her. I'm talking to her. I'm talking to her. I'm talking to her. All right. I do milo King Oreo. I'm a woman. I say, I'm a kid. I'm just that. Even there. And then the last one. And I did. Platy, platypus. Kee. Hey, so I said, but maybe you can. She does for argument. Now, I'm not going to come down more. The makeup or emojis are. Zilla's a twist much. I'm going to go down. I say, show equal late. Thank you. Platypus. Kee. So, I say from this feedback, guys, it seems like, like everyone has their own style and version of handling an argument. But then now, how do you end it objectively? I just, I would like one line from you, maybe just a few lines from me and then I'll film you as well. Like, how do you end an argument? Well, I'm a, how do you, maybe you can tell us how to be mean. Who can tell us how do you become mean to a person in an argument? And how do you end it in a subtle and a nice way? So, perhaps you can think of like, how do you become mean to a person? Like, you can't argue, man. You can't argue with me. How do you become mean to a person? And then how do you end it in a smooth way?  Some type of words like those that probably you could tell somebody I'm a corner this other punchline Maybe you're coming something you might tell them You see my beat The way you're talking does not go in hand with your ugly face so sometimes people use a lot of tags Nani is Currently nezad say man. I do am biya. Yeah, and what's it really toxic sauna like what's a heartful? Yeah, there's a there's a I think is it a philosophy loss a farmer one of the writers who said people will remember what you said to them then what you did to them I don't if it I don't if it's true like I'm talking about as a lemon and only ambiwa and it seems like it's true Why do I keep on remembering what's in the corner? I'm doing a q-audition For the first time in Kansas is tourism media as like you've been told no your to block where you mostly at Like what's just echo in your brain and they're permanently aged Man, I would be careful on the what's I also think that men tend to hold Emotional baggage too much than right ladies because ladies If you're a person who is a materialistic giver then Wow, I took up and I can't be sad. I can't say more. They are not people like a motionally attached Yeah, I think it's kids Like you know, I'm a sit-up and excuse on the woman as not to miss on a sauna like you need ladies way I'm pecky too. Oh, yeah, I don't say my eye and they're very expressive Yeah, they express it like once twice done.  Yeah, all right interesting Susan, how do you end a conversation an argument rather in a sweet way?  Yeah, yeah, just being quiet being silent.
