okay bring up okay so that topic is spirituality versus religion so welcome to this live segment where we'll be speaking about religion versus religion versus spirituality in today's session we're gonna dive into an intriguing and virtual aspects of spiritual life the distinctions between speed external I'm sorry between the external practice of religion and the underlying reality of faith as portrayed in the Bible our objective is to explore how scripture guides us in understanding the differences between merely observing religious rituals and genuinely living out of faith that transforms our hearts and actions through this exploration we aim to uncover deep inside into what constitutes authentic spiritual living according to biblical teachings this topic is not only relevant for those who practice religion but also offers valuable perspective for anyone in the essence of spirituality so the first segment and after this I'll share the power point the the first segment is um understanding religion in biblical context so defining religion from a biblical standpoint let's say in the Bible religion isn't defined in the modern sense but it is understood to practices and principles it encompasses systems of belief and worship moral and ethical conduct and it emphasizes an internal spirituality over external spirituals so if you see religion emphasizes on internal spirituality even religion emphasizes on internal spirituality over external rituals he elements include adherence to God's law ethical living and heart centered faith so that is how you define religion some some definition of religion scriptures mentioning religious scriptures mentioning religious practice so I'm going to give you one James 126 27 offers a clear perspective on valuable religious practice emphasizing ethical conduct compassionate actions and personal integrity Matthew 23 sees Jesus critiquing religious leaders for hypocrisy and legalism stressing the importance of internal righteousness over external religious observances so there's positive aspects of organized religion in the Bible I'm going to give you scriptures Acts 24 I'm sorry Acts 2 42 to 47 describes the early Christians community sharing supporting and growing together highlighting the value of fellowship so yes you should fellowship and Hebrews this is these are scriptures regarding community Hebrews 10 24 and 25 encourages regular gathering for mutual support and encouraging underscoring the importance of faith communities so yeah it is important that you do meet with people or with a church or with a group whatever that may be to you but gathering for mutual support whatever gathering that may be whether it's a church however you gather it can be I believe online because when COVID happened we had to meet online we had to meet in the living rooms we had to meet in the parks anywhere it doesn't matter it encourages regular gatherings for mutual support and encouragement so when it comes to teachings of the Bible and to Timothy 3 16 through 17 speaks to the importance of scripture for teaching and moral information and Matthew 28 19 to 20 the great commission emphasizing the role of teaching in spiritual growth and disciple making also worship which is important in songs 95 1 2 6 and vice believers to worship and bow down before God showing the importance of worship and expressing devotion in John 4 23 to 24 teaches that through worship is about worshiping in spirit and truth going beyond mere external forms so see there goes the spirit worshiping in spirit and truth going beyond the external so from a biblical perspective religion is multifaceted concept that goes beyond ritualistic practices to include a deep heartfelt commitment to living out one's faith through ethical conduct community involvement teaching and worship these aspects are essential for or a holistic and meaningful religious experience as portrayed in the Bible so here we go to segment two the pitfalls of religious so we gave one version we're going to give the other version these other pitfalls well examine the will examine the pitfalls of religious practice as warned against in the Bible focusing on hypocrisy legalism empty rituals lack of compassion and the elevation of tradition over the mind commandments we will also relate these pitfalls to contemporary examples so Matthew 23 speaks about hypocrisy and legalism and Matthew 23 Jesus permanently criticized the Pharisees and teachers of the law for their hypocrisy and legalism he accuses them of focusing on minutiae of the law while neglecting the profound ethical and moral aspects so a modern example this can be seen today in instances where religious leaders communities focus excessively on specific doctrines of rituals while failing to address larger issues of social justice ethical living or genuine spiritual growth that was number one the hypocrisy and legalism as told in Matthew and now we go to number two empty rituals and lack of compassion as told in Isaiah 111 through 17 and Amos 5 21 through 24 so empty rituals and lack of compassion is number two and we have some points in these passages and to go on and explain a little the prophet Isaiah and Amos can face God's displeasure with his people's religious rituals which were devoid which were devoid of righteousness and compassion so God's displeasure with his religious rituals which were devoid of righteousness and compassion so rituals and all these religious stuff but where's the righteousness and the compassion something's missing God calls for genuine genuine ethical living justice and care for the oppressed and true expressions of faith modern example this reflects in situations where religious ceremonies are performed as a matter of tradition without corresponding lifestyle or compassion and justice for instance attending religious services without engaging in acts of kindness or community service so there you go there you have it it's always one lacks the other three putting tradition over God's commandments mark 7 6 to 9 so here Jesus is criticizing the religious leaders for letting their traditions override the commandments of God he emphasized that the heart of God's law is more important than human tradition so the heart of God's law which to me is love that's God's law to love one another he emphasizes that the heart of God's law is more important than human tradition so traditions are not more important than God's than God's law God's law is more important than human tradition that's what he's saying so an example would be a contemporary parallel can be found in instances where religious customs or traditions are upheld even when they conflict with the core values of love mercy justice that many religions preach so it's a contemporary parallel and can be found in instances where religious customs or traditions are upheld even when they conflict with other core values of love mercy justice and many religion that many religions preach that these these warnings remind us that religious practice can be misuse when it becomes disassociated from the ethical and compassionate value it is meant to have and exports the pitfalls of hypocrisy's empty rituals lack of compassion and over emphasis on traditions at the expense of God's commandment are not just historical concerns but are relevant in today's religious landscape as well recognizing and addressing these issues crucial for maintaining the integrity and relevance of religious practice in the modern world so there you have it we have the pitfalls of religion as hypocrisy and legalism empty rituals and lack of compassion and I gave you scriptures so hypocrisy and legalism could be found in Matthew 23 scripture empty rituals and lack of compassion can be found in Isaiah 11 and Amos 5 21 through 24 and I gave you the examples and number three putting tradition over God's commandments as shown in Mark 7 69 now we move on to segment three reality of faith the heart of biblical teaching in this segment we'll explore the emphasis the Bible places on internal transformation and the condition of the heart over mere external observances of religious practices this is this focus is essential to the teachings of both Jesus and Paul and number one emphasize emphasis on the heart and internal transformation the Bible consistently underscores that true faith is a matter of the heart not just external actions or virtues it highlights the importance of inner spiritual renewal and genuine transformation of character so yes some changes happen because when your character changes I believe your light changes so if it emphasizes on the heart and internal transformations we're talking about reality of faith the heart of biblical teachings number two Jesus teachings in the Sermon of the Mount Matthew 5 through 7 the Sermon on the Mount is a key example of Jesus teachings and internal spirituality here Jesus goes beyond the literal interpretation of the law to emphasize the spirit behind it he addresses attitudes like anger lust retaliation indicating that true righteousness is not just about outward behavior but about the condition of the heart for instance Jesus teaches that anger is akin to murder and lust akin to adultery in the heart that's Matthew 5 21 through 20 the beatitudes Matthew 5 3 through 12 further illustrate that by blessing qualities such as weakness mercy and purity of heart reflect internal spiritual states I believe this also goes with by the fruits we shall know them the beatitudes further illustrate that by blessing qualities such as weakness mercy purity of the heart which reflect internal spiritual states well all these are positive states so I believe they do deeply have to do with the fruits of the spirit number three pause teachings on faith and grace pause epistles especially relations and Romans emphasize faith and grace over legalistic adherence to the law did you get that pause epistles especially relations and Romans emphasize faith and grace over legalistic adherence to the law faith and grace be nice okay in Galatians 1 13 through 4 Paul reflects on his own past in Judaism where he was extremely zealous for the traditions see traditions traditions of men extremely zealous for the traditions but later realized that true faith is about grace in a relationship with Christ see that spirituality now we move on to Romans 3 20 it states that for we maintain that a person is justified by faith apart from the works of the law this underscore the belief that salvation and righteousness are based on faith not just on following religious laws or customs so faith not just on following religious laws or customs so these teachings emphasize that the reality of faith according to the bible is fundamentally about a transformed heart and a personal relationships with God this internal transformation is what leads to genuine external expressions of faith such as ethical living compassion and justice differentiating mere religious observance from a lived dynamic faith beautiful how the bible puts everything together for us now that i'm starting to have a little knowledge just a little how to read and how to apply so we move on to segment four which is the last segment we're almost done segment four this is about religion and reality in everyday life in this final segment we'll explore how to authenticate how to authentically live out our faith in the complexities of today's world and discuss practical ways to align religious practice with the reality of faith and it also encourage this segment encourages viewers to reflect on your own spiritual journey so let's go to number one living out faith authentically in today's world in a world filled with distractions and competing ideologies living out one's faith authentically requires a conscious effort to stay connected to the principle and teachings of one's faith so this is where i am yes trying to live out my faith authentically requires that i make a conscious effort to stay connected it has to be that you want it that you are making a conscious effort to stay connected to the principles and teachings of all faith of your faith it involves integrating faith into every aspect of life not just turning religious observance this means allowing one's belief to shape decisions interactions and life's it has me it has truly once i started looking more at the spiritual aspect rather than the religious aspect i could say that i have evolved i have evolved i have nothing against religion i think it all goes together to me there has to be a balance between religion and spirituality it goes together if i'm wrong someone correct me but you can't be religious and not spiritual and spiritual and not religious i believe well i have i may have to change that belief upon more research so number two remember that i am not a pastor i want to remind everyone i am not a pastor i am just trying to spread awareness on spirituality religion the difference i'm learning as i am here i am giving this spirituality versus religion live broadcast i am trying to myself learn something new from it daily so this world is really filled with distractions and competing ideologies that's why you have to be in tune with the spirit side of you with that connection because i believe spirituality is a direct connection with the divine so it involves integrating faith we did number one living our faith authentically in today's world and saying i said that it requires a conscious effort to stay connected to the principle and teachings of one faith now it involves integrating faith into every aspect of life not just during religious observance means allowing one's beliefs to shape your decisions so we just went over that and once you make that conscious decision to stay connected to the principles and teachings of faith you have more the choice because it will shape it will change your beliefs and your beliefs your beliefs will shape your decisions and your interactions in life can't stay the same once you come into a an awakening or an understanding two this is as i say this is my excuse i believe according to what i'm reading i am on the right path number two practical ways to align religious practice with the reality of faith integrating faith in daily life so every action such as being honest in dealings showing kindness and practicing forgiveness when you integrate that faith in your daily life it must have that everyday actions such as being honest in dealings so one thing that i've learned is uh the spirit lives in me my intuition i hear that voice so what i do different now is i listen to that voice that says that's wrong i listen to it i don't ignore it forget about don't think about the consequences so everything i do has to be in i showing kindness and practicing forgiveness in my life at this point it wasn't like that so regular self-reflection and prayer i must engage in regular self-reflection and pray to stay attuned to the personal spiritual needs and growth so yes meditation prayer however you want to call it you must just the same way your body needs to relax after a long day so does the mind so i the way i try to relax my mind is by just self-reflecting while praying when i'm not praying i'm self-reflecting but prayer to and i stay attuned that allows me meditation and prayer allows me to stay attuned to the personal spiritual needs and meditation i have to quiet that mind i need to self-reflect what can i do better today also community involvement participate actively in faith communities not just in worship service but also in community service and support groups this is where i am coming in to stepping in now this is where i am i'm trying to build the community i'm trying to be involved and i am participating actively in faith communities so learning and applying scripture continuously learn from religious texts and teachings of course their religious texts and teachings to apply these teachings in real life context actively practice compassion and justice be proactive in engaging in acts of compassion and justice reflecting the core value of many faith traditions number three encouraging personal self-reflection so this i invite all viewers to reflect on their personal spiritual journey questions for reflection might include how does my faith manifest in my daily life are these aspects of my religious practice are these aspects of my religious practice that feel more like routine than sincere expressions what steps can i take to deepen my spiritual understanding and practice how can i better embody the teachings of my faith and my interactions with others in conclusion as we are in conclusion emerging the religion with the reality of everyday life involve more than just adhering to religious it's about living out the values and teachings of one's faith in every aspect of life it's a journey of continued growth learning and application by actively seeking to align spiritual practices with genuine faith individuals can lead to a more fulfilling and ethically sound life making a more positive impact in your communities and the world that large excuse me so as we conclude this live this live discussion is no discussion but we'll open up the floor let's briefly recap on the key points of the broadcast so number one understanding religion in a biblical context we explored how the bible defines religion not just as a real dualistic practice but as a comprehensive system encompassing ethical conduct community involvement and heart centric the pitfalls of religious practice we discussed the biblical warnings against hypocrisy lealism and individuals and the elevation of traditions over god's commandments and how these pitfalls manifest in modern religious practices so we're moving on to number three but let's see if i want to go for sounds so you can't just you know hey i'm a religious i'm a trinitarian or i am x y c and then you're not going to apply the food to the spirit i believe that that is very important for every spiritual or call yourself religious or spiritual i think applying the food to the spirit is how we know who we are in christ so i did mention the pitfalls of religious practices yes hypocrisy we discussed the biblical warnings yes and now number three reality of faith the heart of biblical teachings we delved into the teachings of jesus and paul which emphasize the importance of internal transformation and a heart centered approach to faith over mere external observance number four religion and spirituality we examine practical ways to live out our faith in today's world integrating our beliefs into daily actions and continuous spiritual world because it depends on your beliefs what you believe applying it into your daily actions for continuous spiritual world the core message of our discussion is the importance of balancing outward religious practices with inward spiritual world that was the core message the importance of balancing outward religious practice within words spiritual world just as i said it has to go together if you're saying you're religious you embody a spirit that is divine so you can't ignore the spiritual cannot a lot of people oh i'm so scared of spiritualism spirituality uh i believe that they go together because it balances the outward religious practices with inward spiritual world that's how you know who is growing by the type of fruits that you pick from that trees it's sad sometimes to hear certain religious people mocking spirituality because i mean i i know there's different types but if it's the spiritual that is connected to the divine which i think that's the only spiritual that exists you're on the right track true spirituality is just not about participating in religious rituals it's about how these principles reflect a transformed heart and how they translate into ethical living compassion and justice in our daily lives so there we go i'm gonna say it one more time the core message of our discussion is the importance of balancing outward religious practices with inward spiritual world true spirituality is not just about participating in religious spiritual again true spirituality is not about participating in religious rituals is about how these principles reflect a transformed heart and how they translate into ethical living compassion and justice in our daily lives sorry i had to say to this so as retard ways tonight i invite each of you to reflect on your personal spiritual journey consider how your religious practices align with the reality of your faith and what steps you can take to foster deeper spiritual understanding and growth i encourage you to continue exploring these things through personal study prayer and engagement with your faith community so i wanted to know if anyone there has any questions there's no one in the chat Carlton left i was left alone it's okay i had fun this was very interesting it is my first session that i do

How do we make this takeout work? Like, aside from pizza and sushi, no one's really done it yet. Exactly. So, how do we really get people to want to believe they can get good fried chicken at home? When someone mentions comfort food, first thing that comes to mind is fried chicken. It's juicy, it's tender, it is hot and delicious. Today I'll be bringing you to Juke Fried Chicken, where we get to see how Justin and Brian took fried chicken to the next level. With their trademarked non-GMO gluten-free fried chicken recipe, coupled with a unique cocktail experience. Let's go behind the scenes to check out their secret sauce. Juke Fried Chicken is located just outside of downtown Vancouver, in an area known as Chinatown, known for its specialty restaurants and eccentric flavors. They open from 11am to 10pm and their main clientele are those wanting some quality comfort food on the go. Thanks for having me, Justin. Thanks for coming down. I heard so much great things about Juke. I love Juke, I love the batter, I love the crispiness and I love the fact that it's healthy. Tell me more about the concept behind Juke. So, the concept came about when I was working in a finer dining establishment. My business partner at the time was one of the head chefs in another finer dining establishment. And I kind of had this idea to do really high quality food like that, but in a really casual environment that I could wear whatever I want. Chef didn't have to be in chef whites in a hat and we could just really build the house we wanted people to come have fun in. So I had this idea for fried chicken, dining room, cocktail bar and takeout, but I couldn't really figure out how to make that work yet because I hadn't really seen it been done. So then I went traveling, gathered a few ideas and we came up with this with a lot of people's help. But gluten free. Yeah. That's the part that I'm mixed up. I'm like it doesn't taste like gluten free. Usually it tastes kind of like different. So we had a few recipes we were trying. Some old grandmother's recipes, friends recipes. And as we were taste testing, which was a lot of fun, we kept finding that the more we took the gluten out, the better it tasted and the better it held. We heated the next day and we just found it more delicious. And then I think that kind of struck a chord with Vancouver being a bit of a healthier city. We didn't know we weren't expecting it, but gluten free fried chicken kind of just took off. And you're like way ahead of the curve. You focus on delivery even before COVID. So you're well positioned to really capitalize on that. Yeah. When we were building out, I was already planning our own delivery service. So we partnered with these guys really early. I think we were one of the first restaurants on their platforms. And we all worked really hard together to kind of get their systems working with our systems. And it's, you know, since then it's worked really well. Other people are adapting to that model. And that's been our model since we've opened. You get to see behind the scenes. You do get to see behind the scenes. Let's go. Let's take a walk through the kitchen. Awesome. Now when it comes to the menu, Juke definitely stands out as a master of fried chicken, offering restaurant quality gluten free fried chicken with fast food convenience. But what truly makes Juke unique is when you step inside the chickeny room. That's when you can experience their extensive cocktail selection as well as indulge in more of your favorite comfort food. So this is our kitchen, a little takeout area right here and we're crossing into the kitchen where the team works super hard to make this right. So Juke, as you've mentioned, we do gluten free fried chicken. What makes ours a little bit different than everybody else is our fried chicken is brined for 24 hours. Brined for 24 hours. Brined for 24 hours. What does it look like? Just over here is what it looks like. What's the technique behind brining? I always hear about it. Wow, that's the secret. Basically, there's different ways to do it. You can pickle brine, you can buttermilk brine. We choose to do buttermilk with herbs and spices. Sits overnight for 24 hours. What's the purpose of that? Tenderizes the chicken a bit, fuses it with a little more flavor, makes it nice and juicy for when you deep fry it and holds in all that flavor. So what we do is we brine it and then we roll it in our custom dredge, which is our gluten free base. It comes looking like this and then we go to a special machine where we call this the burge cage. Close the burge cage, turn around over here. Drop the birds in this. 50 pieces for 25 minutes. 15 minutes, sorry. Told you he was going to correct me. 50 pieces for 15 minutes and then it comes out golden and crisp. So what's so special about this machine? Tell me more. There's not many of them, first off. I haven't seen this before. But instead of an open deep fryer, this is a pressure fryer. So you put it in, you seal it, and then basically the temperature and all your oils heat to one consistent level. Like convection oil. Kind of. This keeps it consistent. So all of the pieces of chicken from the top to the bottom cook at the same rate, the same temperature. This will be your most expensive piece. Do you care to share? I think this one was about $12,000 to $15,000. Wow. And how many do you guys serve a day? Like these guys just crank them out? So we do 50 pieces every 15 minutes and they usually sell about every 20 minutes. So by the time they're done resting, we sell them. Non-stop, the whole day. Especially at night with, you know, we work with three different delivery services. We have our takeout, then our chickeny room is our bar and cocktail lounge that we have as well. So it's always moving. It's always rotating, it's never sitting long. Yeah, it's just... Can we see the chicken? You definitely can see some chicken. We're going to bring over our chef Clay. He's going to make probably our most popular item, which is our jukebox. That's too bad. Because we do fried chicken and ribs, jukebox is two pieces of chicken, three ribs, and a side of your choice. We choose to do our peanut slaw, which is always, like, a favorite. My business partner and chef, Brian, I call him the king of sauces. The king of sauces. The best sauces in the world on anything I've tried. So we have, like, four different hot sauces. We do our barbecue sauce. Everything made in-house. Everything made in-house. My business partner works really hard. I'm fortunate. I've got two kids at home. So he... I do everything I can to take what I can off his hand. Yeah, yeah. But being the chef, being the guy coming up with all the new menu items, he works super hard at what he does. And he's got a great team that executes. That's awesome. I love the fact that you're giving him so much credit. And of course, like, it's definitely the necessary paid credit, right? It's a team, right? It's a team. He helps me where I can. I help him, especially over the last few months. He's been here a lot more than I have. Beautiful. Let's go for a chat. Yeah, let's go for a chat. Go for an eat. Go for an eat. Beautiful. Now, because they mainly deal with fried fruits and require specialty kitchen equipment, the total investment for juke is definitely on the higher end. On the bright side, the labor cost is substantially lower than typical restaurants since they focus mainly on takeout and delivery.  Oh, this looks delicious. Enjoy.  Beautiful. I love that. Thank you. Cheers to that. Thanks for having me. Thanks for coming down. So tell me more about this whole concept.  You're like, this idea of fried chicken and barred don't really mix. I didn't think it would mix, but it works here. I was in New York actually the weekend I was going to propose to my wife. Four years ago? Five. No, we've been married for eight. So proposed nine years ago. So I had the concept for a long time before we actually made it happen. And we went to this place. It wasn't a fried chicken place, but they had fried chicken on the menu. And I was like, hmm, I could do something like this, but we could like really flesh it out and make it ours. And that's like the food I love to eat.  But I was like, in Vancouver, my biggest concern I always said was a rainy Tuesday in February where you might have like donuts, like no one coming in the door. So I was like, how do you combat that? How do you get revenue coming in while still trying to take care of people that may not want to come in? So then I started to think about takeout. So I was like, how can you do and being a bartender is my background. I was like, how do you open a really great cocktail bar but offer takeout that works well and doesn't just look like it's an afterthought. And I didn't know how to do that. So the next trip we went on, we were in London just walking around on a rainy day. And we walked into an Indian restaurant and it was really authentic Indian when you walked in. But as we kind of turned the corner, it was like all these bright vibrant colors, like all the street food and it was basically just a takeout area. And something clicked and I was like, that's how we can make jukework. Like you give full attention to that takeout area. Like you make it so it's a huge part of your restaurant, not an afterthought. So the big thing is restaurants is seats, like they generate your revenue. So I was like, how do I give up 30 to 40% of my restaurants and lose that seating. So we knew we had to make sure takeout was done right. My business partner, Brian Satterford, he and I had worked on and off since we were kids, like since we were like 19. So my wife always said, if we're going to do this restaurant, you're only doing it with Brian. And I was like, that's a hard sell. Like Brian at the time was the head sous chef at Hawksworth, which is one of Vancouver's finest dining places. I was running a restaurant called Shambar and we'd just gone from our old restaurant at Shambar and I was integral in like the new development of their two-story, like 350 seat place. So convincing Brian to leave a super high end establishment and come to a little fried chicken place, I didn't think it was going to be easy. But he was really happy to do it and so we dove in. That's so cool. Usually the most wisest idea ever comes from you traveling, being inspired and that's why it's so cool to be able to have you bring that concept that worked in New York, that worked in London and morphed it into something that works within the local community. I think that's the most important part and obviously you have to give credit to your wife. I give all the credit for everything to my wife. Cheers to that. You know how it is? Totally and it's something that I want to make sure that we definitely do is because that's usually the case. They're the ones that inspires you the most and you guys talk about random ideas and I don't give enough credit to my wife which is why I wanted to get some brownie points right now. I give her credit for everything that I do. For the wives. She was fully supportive. She knew I wanted to do this but she's like you need to know how to do it. Totally. And so for me, I'm born and raised in Toronto and in Toronto they have a lot of lounges which means it's not a club, it's not a restaurant you can just go out and have a drink and listen to great music. And I know you can't do that in Vancouver so I was like how do we make that feeling here. I just kind of made this room based everything on textures kind of chicken feet along the wall like almost like chicken skins on the banquets like everything was textured and part of the reason for everything being textured was it gives a great look but it also works in reflecting sound when you're really working with music and music was a huge part of why I wanted to call it juke. Gotcha jukebox. There you go. At the time I was as I said opening that other restaurant which took a lot out of me and Brian had just left Hawksworth and he was opening some restaurants for a friend and while Brian was researching chicken our good friend Corde was like hey what are you doing he's like you researching chicken he's like I want to open a chicken restaurant after we do this and so we all got on a call and I was like Corde used to own a place called meat and bread he was one of the founders and he was like let's bring him in so then we all got together and started looking for places So you're the server right there it's crazy you're so casually bringing these names and for our viewers that don't know what these places are these are like one of the top restaurants in Vancouver and you're just so casually you know me and Brad oh you know Hawksworth, you know Chambar these guys are like the top restaurants and you guys are like the great minds are coming together the masterminds to get this place so you open doors and you're like what's the marketing do you have to do a lot of marketing to get people through the doors so I think the three of us were fortunate being from those restaurants that you mentioned that people kind of knew of us or were excited to see what these three guys from these three places would be doing and at that time though delivery third party deliveries still hadn't come to town yet so they were about a month away so we really looked into how do we make this take out work like aside from pizza and sushi no one's really done it yet so how do we really get people to want to believe they can get good fried chicken at home so then the goal was just get that green box in everybody's house get it, anyone leaving here send them off with chicken even if they don't pay for it just send them home with chicken get that green box in their fridge and so the more we got that green box in people's fridge I think they really understood what we were trying to do and then Instagram had been going for a few years but it wasn't really a restaurant marketing thing at the time so we hopped on that wave pretty early and I think that really started and the thing with Instagram or any restaurant like word of mouth is your best business but when people are promoting you on Instagram like hey I just dying to you you should try this place out and we can repost that it was just like really good relationships were formed we had people here every day for our first month like every day and I was like that might not be the healthiest thing for you but even though it's clean and free right so yeah it took some time but you know we made it so big plans, big plans for chickadee, juke's yeah so when I was writing the business plan the goal was to do a juke every two years in any different capacity it might just be a little take out window it might be a food truck but the goal was to always be doing that I think Brian and I have also learned we have a lot of different concepts we wanted to do so we opened a plant based restaurant called beatbox also music related right but so then we've got our theme of keeping things music related but we can play in any avenue and Brian's such a good chef like he can make any food and it keeps him engaged and you know every time you do a new restaurant it's just like thrilling for your first 12 months but it all depends what we want to do and where we want to go but we also know you know the pandemic is hard it's going to hit people hard unfortunately not everyone's going to survive it but we're fortunate to be doing what we're doing we're fortunate to have the stuff we have and if we're lucky to move into another restaurant after thank you thank you so much for sharing all these secret sauces thank you for your time so there you go guys the secret sauce behind juke fried chicken's massive success Justin and Brian's philosophy is simple relationship relationship relationship whether it be relationship with your vendors relationship with your partners relationship with your staff those are the things that would make you truly successful thank you so much for watching this episode of the secret sauce I'll see you guys next time


Hi friends, I am Purva and today we will discuss the following question. A solid right circular cone of diameter 14 cm and height 8 cm is melted to form a hollow sphere. If the external diameter of the sphere is 10 cm, find the internal diameter of the sphere. Let us begin with the solution now. Now we are given that diameter of the cone is equal to 14 cm. Therefore radius of the cone is equal to 14 upon 2 which is equal to 7 cm and we are also given that height of the cone is equal to 8 cm. Now we know that volume of the cone is equal to 1 upon 3 into pi r square h where we have r is the radius of the cone and h is the height of the cone. Now we mark this as 1, we mark this as 2 and we mark this as 3. So putting 1 and 2 in 3 we get volume of the cone is equal to 1 upon 3 into pi into r square that is radius square. Now here radius of the cone is equal to 7 cm so we have 7 into 7 into h that is height of the cone and this is equal to 8 cm so we have 8 cm. Now this is equal to 392 pi upon 3 cm. We mark this as 4. Now we are given that external diameter of the sphere is equal to 10 cm. Therefore external radius of the sphere is equal to 10 upon 2 which is equal to 5 cm. Now let the internal radius of the sphere be equal to 8 cm and we have to find the internal diameter of the sphere. Now volume of the hollow sphere is equal to 4 upon 3 into pi into r2 cube minus r1 cube where we have r2 is the external radius of the sphere r1 is the internal radius of the sphere. Now putting the value of r2 that is external radius of the sphere and r1 that is the internal radius of the sphere here we get volume of the hollow sphere is equal to 4 upon 3 into pi into r2 cube that is external radius cube. Now here external radius of the sphere is 5 cm so we get 5 cube minus r1 cube that is internal radius cube Now here internal radius of the sphere is x cm so we get minus x cube cubic cm we mark this as 5 Now in the question we are given that a solid right circular cone of diameter 14 cm and height 8 cm is melted to form a hollow sphere. This means that volume of the cone is equal to volume of the hollow sphere this is given to us. Now from 4 we have volume of the cone is equal to 392 pi upon 3 cm and from 5 we have volume of the hollow sphere is equal to 4 upon 3 into pi into 5 cube minus x cube cubic cm So from 4 and 5 we get 392 pi upon 3 is equal to 4 upon 3 into pi into 5 cube minus x cube or we can write this as 392 is equal to 4 into 5 cube minus x cube or 98 is equal to 5 cube minus x cube or we have x cube is equal to 125 minus 98 which is equal to 27 Now this implies x cube is equal to 3 cube or we get x is equal to 3 So we have internal radius of the sphere is equal to 3 cm and hence the internal diameter of the sphere is equal to 3 into 2 which is equal to 6 cm So we have got our answer as 6 cm Hope you have understood the solution Bye and take care


فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا بابا دلا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثاناء الجميل واشدوا لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهد السبيل واشدوا أن سيدنا ونبينا محمد آخر الأنبياء في الدنيا عصرى واجلهم يوم القيامة شأن وذكرى صلى الله وملايكته والصالحون من خلقه كما وحد الله وعرف به ودعى إليه أما بعد كتاب الصيام وينا وكتاب بلوغ المرام من أدلة الاحكام للإمام الحافظ إبن حجر العسقلاني ورحمه الله سوف نأخذ القيامة المرام as we promised The first Hadith in which an Imam إبن حجر العسقلاني ورحمه الله He starts the chapter of fasting with is The Hadith of Abu Hurairah The Hadith of The Hadith of Abu Hurairah عن أبي Hurairah رضي الله تعالى عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا تقدم رمضان بصوم يوم ولا يومين إلا رجل كان يصوم يوم فليصمه متفق عليه The first Hadith is the Hadith narrated from narrated by Abu Hurairah The Hadith is narrated by who Abu Hurairah رضي الله تعالى عنه Abu Hurairah said that the Prophet ﷺ said لا تقدم رمضان بصوم يوم Do not precede Ramadan A day before it ولا يوميني neither two Neither two days إلا رجل ان يستخدم شخص كان يصوم صوم يستخدم شخص who used to fast a fasting فليصمه لدى شخص fast a fasting متفق عليه This Hadith is narrated by ألمام المسلم This Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ saying That no one should fast a day before Ramadan or two days before Ramadan unless you used to fast before unless you used to fast before then fast then you can fast No problem The Hadith we promised last lesson The way we are going to discuss this Hadith is in this way الكلام وعال الحديث الكلام وعال الحديث رواية We are going to be speaking about the Hadith in terms of its chain of narration and the science of it related to it So this Hadith مقاري and مسلم both of them have narrated it and they all narrated it from أبو حريرا both of them and the chain revolves around وما داروا أساليده and all of the chain revolves around يحي بن أبي كثير who narrated from أبي سلمة who narrated from أبو حريرا So if مقاري and مسلم both narrated this Hadith and they all narrated it from أبو حريرا and their chain their chain revolves around يحي بن أبي كثير أبي سلمة أبي حريرا point number 2 point number 2 إمام البخاري رحمه الله إمام البخاري رحمه الله He mentioned this Hadith معلقا معلقا means when بخاري does not mention his teacher إمام البخاري رحمه الله He mentioned this Hadith معلقا without mentioning his sheikh in the chapter of fasting or in the book of fasting in the book of fasting under the chapter under the chapter هل يقال رمضان or شهر رمضان or شهر رمضان بخاري بوتت under the chapter of what should we say رمضان or should we say the month of رمضان هل يقال رمضان should we say رمضان or شهر رمضان ومر رأى كله واسعا and whoever sees the matter to be open for everyone meaning whoever sees it to be what permissible to say each and whichever one and then straight away instead of bringing a chain بخاري didn't do it because it brought him he said وقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم لا تقدموا رمضان وقال رحمه الله he brought a Hadith in the chapter so he didn't mention a chain for it and he brought it under what chapter he brought it in the book of fasting by which chapter he brought it in the chapter of should we say رمضان or the month of رمضان and whoever sees the issue to be open whichever one you can take if you want and then straight away he brought that he said what that the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم has said do not fast before رمضان so what is the moment بخاري tried to get with it and we're going to be tackling it a bit more later بخاري is trying to get with it now here is the permissibility of say رمضان or the month of رمضان and we're going to be speaking about that later in sha Allah the third point that we take from it in terms of رواية is إمام مصلم he mentions this hadith in his fasting in the book of fasting كتاب الصيان okay and the chapter that it was put under and the chapter that it was put under لا تقدموا رمضان بصوب يوم ولا يوم ميلي the chapter is exactly the wording of the hadith do not fast a day or two days before رمضان or two days before رمضان point number four بخاري رحمه الله there is a narration in his صحيح which he brought the wording for it and he brought the chain for it he brought it with the chain of narration for it is لا يتقدم أحدكم رمضان بصوم يوم or يوم ميلي إلا أن يكون رجل كان يصوم صوم فليصم ذلك اليوم those wordings which the meaning is the same but the wording mean different he brought that wording but he brought it what with his chain of narration from himself to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and the other one by the way لا تقدموا رمضان بصوم يوم ولا يوم ميلي إلا رجل كان يصوم يوم فليصوم do not think to yourself that أبو خاري he did not bring it with his chain as well he did even though he brought it under the chapter he also did bring it in his صحيح with his chain the other point that we can take from the other point regarding the narration and the hadith is the wording in this hadith here the wording of the hadith here that Imam محافظ البلحاجر brought in his blog the wording the wording here is the wording of Imam Muslim okay so if it was the wording of Muslim فكان الأولى بالحافظ it would be more bright befitting for Imam محافظ البلحاجر and you share it to point that out for us كما فعله إبن الدقيق العيد like إبن الدقيق العيد in this Kitab of Imam and also إبن عبدالهادي did in his Kitab المحرر they pointed it out that the wording of this hadith that we are studying today is the wording of Imam Muslim they pointed it out whereas whereas حافظ البلحاجر he did not also by the way this hadith the six books it's narrated in the six books أمها to الستة كتب الستة they narrated it and when I say the six books which six books am I referring to the صحيحين بخاري المسلم and the four sunan in أربعة أبو داود تربيذي بلماجة النسائي they narrated it six right and also أحمد narrated it and Imam أحمد also narrated it so according to the إستلاح of حافظ البلحاجر according to the terminology that حافظ البلحاجر he mentions in بلغ المرام that he's going to use if the the two صحيحين بخاري المسلم and the four sunan أبو داود تربيذي أبو داود تربيذي إبن ماجة النسائي and أحمد if they all narrated what's it called the seven right he should have said narrated by the seven but the reason why he didn't he also told us in the مقدمة if you guys remember very well he said if the حديث is specifically is narrated in بخاري المسلم he said أن لا يذكر مع الشيخين غيرهما with صحيحين بخاري المسلم he's not going to mention any other chain that is there why because the reality is that بخاري المسلم was in there there's no need to mention other places that are in they suffice us from it right and as the scholars they say there shouldn't be no argument when it comes to those terminologies إن شاء الله تعالى now we finished talking about the حديث in terms of its sciences that are pertaining to it which is slightly the hardest thing when it comes to studying each حديث we're now going to move on to we're going to now talk about الكلام على الحديث ديرعية we're going to be speaking about the حديث in terms of in terms of the rulings and the things that we can take from the حديث before I mention that I would have to mention a grammatical benefit that can be taken out of this حديث a grammatical benefit those of you who focus on drama and who love drama if you mention that لا تقدموا رمضانا بصوم يوم ولا يومين إلا رجلون except them so it's here what does it say إلا إلا رجلون إلا رجلون إلا رجلون the last letter on the word رجل is a word what's the letter رجلون what's it it's a lamb right the last letter in the word رجل is a lamb right good what's on top of the lamb there's a رفع on there we have to be more when we speak we have to speak more with grammar إلا رجلون we have a رفع we have a رفوع on top of it and we know رفع is more comprehensive than ضم because is it occurring 4 right ضم والواو والألف صح very good إلا رجلون we have a that's how حافظ من حجر mentions it in his so you say رفع this is a good and if you look at all of the even the one that was published by that will تقصيل the greatest publication of صحيح مسلم all of them all of them I looked into all of them اللتي وقفتوا عليها in which I stood over all of them they mentioned what إلا رجلون that's a good that's one point so because the wording is which wording the wording of which حديث is this it's a wording of Imam Muslim so we have to look at all of the narrations of Muslim they all mentioned what إلا إلا رجلون إلا رجلون صح؟ but this is the places this is one of the places that it is permissible في نصب المستثنة you are allowed to say رجلون ورفعوه ونصبو is permissible and you could say إلا رجلن it's both but the رفع is أفصح is more eloquent you say إلا رجلن it shows more strength in the language and the قاعدة is إلا وقع المستثنة بعد المستثنة منه if the مستثنة the مستثنة here is what رجل right if it falls straight after إلا وقع if it falls after it sorry إلا وقع المستثنة if the مستثنة it falls after the مستثنة منه في كلام with a sentence that is complete and that is a negation for instance for instance if you say ما جاء القوم إلا إلا سليما ما جاء القوم what do we have here we have the negation here are you with me ما جاء القوم the people did not come is it not negation is that sentence complete it's complete so it's a negation ما جاء no one came from the people ما جاء القوم the people did not come that sentence is complete it's a negation and the مستثنة منه who the thing that's being negated is the coming right are you with me are you with me that's what's being negated the مستثنة is what إلا سليما right سليما fell after what after the مستثنة منه which is what ما جاء القوم إلا ما جاء القوم in this situation it is permissible to say ما جاء القوم إلا سليما or سليم because the Hadith of the Prophet ﷺ if you look at it says لا تقدم رمضانا بصوم يوم ولا يومين the مستثنة منه the مستثنة منه the sentence is a جم is a كلام كام من في وقع المستثنة بعد المستثنة منه إلا رجل فلا after what after the مستثنة منه which is what لا لا تقدموا رمضانا بصوم يومين ولا يومين that's in terms of Arabic so what is it going to be when it is a when it's a مصوع what is the preced...? what is the when it is is always مستثنا are you Sorry or it's a it's a مستثنة which is it's a مستثنى منه ومستثنى منه فراجلون، راجلون is a what it's a battle of some of them and this is well known and studied in the books of grammar we spoke about that when we studied that's the grammatical analysis of it let's now go into the thick of the Hadith the thick that we take from the Hadith number one the thick that we take from this Hadith is what is the ruling in fasting a day or even two days before Ramadan what's the ruling the first question is what is the ruling in fasting a day or two before Ramadan if we look at the ظاهر of the Hadith if we look at from the apparent of the Hadith if we look at it from its apparent it's a negation ظاهر النهي it's prohibited if we look at the Hadith because the Prophet specifically said لا تقدموا and the one لا تقدموا it shows what prohibition because the Prophet is negating something from us it's haram for us to do it and then النهي تقتضي التحريم right the قاعدة is what prohibition when does it necessitate if you're told to not do something it shows that it's prohibited from you this is very well known in أصول الفق so if for example a person fast a day or two before Ramadan is it prohibited from them so if it's prohibited from them it is what it is haram right so this necessitates sin and it also necessitates the nullification of this action this action is nullified now are you with me now the question that arises is we're still on the first point when it comes to the ruling pertaining to the Hadith is are all the scholars on the same side are they all in agreement on this do they all agree that the Hadith here is that it is نهي then it's haram and if it's haram then the person who does it do they all agree on that we'll say no there's two views regarding this there's two opinions and two views regarding it the first opinion is this is the view of the majority of the scholars this is the opinion of them it's the view of the majority of the scholars what do they say what's the view of the Jumhoor the opinion of the Jumhoor is that the negation in here it is not prohibition rather it is disliked so they said here the نهي the negation here they said it is not للتحريم it is not haram but it is disliked and that is what's well known in مدهب الحلاب حملي مدهب this is well known and it is documented in the حملي مدهب so based on that opinion if a person fast before Ramadan يوم اي دي او تو هاية if he fast a day or two before Ramadan فليس باير ثمن he is not a sinner وصوبه مقبول and his fasting is accepted that's the that's the netijer that comes out of it are you with me because that it is what ليس باير ثمن the person is not a sinner يوم مقبول and his fasting is accepted are you with me are you with me whereas if the other opinion it would have been what the other opinion we are going to come to now the other opinion is the second one before I go into the second opinion أليمام ترمي دي said something which we should read أليمام ترمي دي he said العمل على هذا الحديث implementing this hadith or the way that this hadith is implemented according to the people of knowledge is كريهو أيت عجل الرجل that they dislike that a person hastens بالصيام قبل دخول شهر رمضان that a person hastens by fasting before the entering of the month of Ramadan with what with the thought in his mind of it being Ramadan they dislike it they don't say it's Haram so they saying it is disliked for a person to hasten before the noble month of Ramadan comes in before the noble month of Ramadan comes in for that person to fast with the intention of it being Ramadan on the safe side as some would say we will speak about that later but they said if a person used to fast and he was known to fast a fasting and he's fasting somehow it hit a day before Ramadan or two then they say there's no harm in that that's the first opinion and the statement of Imam Tulumidi is finished over there now we move on to the next second opinion we'll now move on to the the second opinion and that the prohibition which leave it at its original essence which is what the original essence the أصوليين is what the أصوليين when it comes to the نهي is what التحريم the نهي if the شريعة doesn't allow you to do something it shows prohibition and this opinion by the way is and also ابن مفلح ابن مفلح he wrote a book called الفروع he wrote a book called الفروع he also took that opinion as well and he kind of he was incline to that opinion and it is also the opinion held by who it is also the opinion held by الشيخ السماحة الوالد ابن عبد الله ابن باز that was the opinion he was he was more incline to رحمه الله تعالى if you want to look more into this views and discussions even more you can go to you can go to you can go to you can go to you can go to you can go to you can go to مجموع فتاوي ابن باز and other places you will find more discussions regarding this particular point now let's move on to the the second fiq that is taken from the hadith the second fiq that is taken from the hadith which is can we say رمضان instead of saying شهر رمضان so basically حدف المضاف can we just remove the مضاف which is شهر can we get rid of شهر and just bring the مضاف is it permissible can you do that from the original from the apparent of the hadith that's right in front of us that we have here it shows the permissibility that's what it seems like because a prophet specifically said رمضان and he didn't say شهر رمضان he said لا تقدموا رمضان بصوم يومين ولا يومين so ظاهر الحديث from the apparent the hadith shows that it is permissible to be what لا تقدموا شهر رمضان are you with me and this of course this hadith is in a position it's not in agreement with the eye of the Quran because Allah said شهر رمضان الذي انزل في القرآن so if the eye said شهر رمضان are you with me then you are allowed to say شهر رمضان and you can also say رمضان because the hadith says it here so the eye of the Quran أثبت المضاف and the مضافن إليه both of them are brought it as for the hadith he only brought the what he only brought the مضافن إليه he got rid of the مضاف and that's why بخاري رحمه الله it was thick that's why he chapter it and he called it بابو then chapter هل يقالوا should one say رمضان or شهر رمضان should he say رمضان or the month of رمضان و مرأ كله و سعن and whoever sees the opinion to be both of them to be permissible and then straight away بخاري was trying to indicate and trying to tell the people that it's permissible to say any one of them because straight away he brought this hadith are you with me or he brought the hadith إذا جاء رمضان فتحة أبواب الجنة if ramadan comes the doors of jannah are opened so again the prophet used the word ramadan also إمام النساء also إمام عبدالله النساء عبد الرحمن النساء رحمه الله he also chapter in his سنن قائلا بايسين بابو الرخصة في أن يقال لشهر رمضان he said the permissibility and then it's permitted for a person to say to say to the month of the ramadan to say the ramadan to it and then straight away would he bring a hadith to support his argument the إمام ماليك مدهب the أسحاب ماليكية the ماليكية they took the opinion that it's disliked and that one should not do it and ابن الباقي اللاني who's a shafi'a and a lot of other shafi'a they said إنه هناك قرينة they said their argument is that this hadith that you guys have brought and all the other hadiths they said there are there are agents or things that are in the hadith that indicate that what's been meant is the ramadan شهر رمضان they said that there are indications to show that the month of ramadan is meant here so they said in this situation it's not disliked but if there's no indication to show that you're referring to the month of ramadan and you just throw the word ramadan like that without any contextual sentences they said in this situation it is disliked and one should not do it so where did they get the idea of that it's disliked or one should not do it why would they even come up with the idea and why would it even be a discussion the reason is because of a hadith narrated أبو مشق نجيح المدني سندي مقبري أبو هريرة that the hadith is in السنة البيهقي لا تقولوا رمضان فإن رمضان من أسماء الله it is a name from the names of Allah ولكن قولوا براث سي شاهر رمضان راث سي the month of ramadan so they stuck on that hadith as I said he narrated in his camel and Ibn Adi weakened this hadith based on who أبي مش أر he weakened it because of him and also بيهقي did and also Imam Nawawee in his مجموع he said he said this hadith is weak and it was weakened by Imam and he said وضعفوا فيه بييرون and the weakness in it is very clear and he said the narrator I just mentioned when he was in it he said he is weak in his memory and he is a weak individual so if the hadith is not صحيح and the hadith is weak then which opinion is going to be stronger فالصواب القول الأول the first opinion is stronger وأنه لا كراهة في قولي رمضان مطلقا والله تعالى عالم and that is not dislike to say رمضان unrestrictedly والله تعالى عالم and Allah knows best the third fiq that we take from this hadith is what is the ruling in fasting before Ramadan before Ramadan if you fast more than two days before it what is the ruling if one wants to fast more than two days before Ramadan he wants to fast what is the ruling


So we have on the agenda today, the Open Education Week, 2015 year in review, highlights from the community members, planning for the 10 year anniversary of the Cape Town Declaration, Open Education Awards for Excellence, and lastly questions, comments and discussion items. And first on the agenda, Open Education Week. Last year, during the summer, we surveyed the Open Education Community about the best time to hold Open Education Week. And the majority of people wanted to keep it in the second week of March, so that would be March 7th through 11th this year. Now, I don't know if you've seen it yet, but call for participation is open. Please go to submit your event under a call for participation. There is an easy form to fill out on the project you will showcase or an event you plan to host during the week. And we'll send you this badge that you see over here to put on your website to add to your event publicity. And I want to make sure that you're aware of the great graphic materials that we have here and you can download and use for your Open Education Week event and for general promotion. We have PowerPoint templates, logos, posters and web banners all available for download. Even if you're not hosting an event, you can still participate by putting these banners and posters on your website or blog and help with promoting the week. This is what I want to talk about right now. See the arrow pointing at Picture Yourself Open. Thanks to you who were on this call last time, we put up this social event called Picture Yourself Open. I don't know if you guys remember, but this was one of these suggestions that came out of this meeting last time and we got right to it. So here you can download some postcards, color them and upload your masterpiece like this or submit a photo featuring your ideas of Open or Open Education, anything about Open. So you just tell us where the picture is, preferably on a social media platform, and we'll put it on the website. Now we're thinking of running this as a contest to get more participation and I like your feedback on that idea. We've opened this page up for a couple weeks now and we don't have as many picture submissions as we would like. And if you have any good ideas on how to increase participation, please go ahead and tell us now. Okay, it seems like you might need a little more time to think about that. Well, aside from this Picture Yourself Open, we also have less than two months to this week and we've been getting some entries for events and resources, but we would like to get a start on serious push on the week now. If you can think of any way that we can promote participation in Open Education Week in general, or if you have any ideas for collaboration, please let us know. You can email us. You can do submissions asking us to help somebody to collaborate with, to run the program with anything. Thank you, Eagle, for all the links and email. Okay, so something to think about. We'll come back to this at the end of the call today. Well, for now, jump to the second item on the agenda, which is 2015 Year in Review. You can find this infographic on our website right now. I know that some of you got a sneak peek at this last week, but today I want to show you the whole thing available on our website at this URL. And there's also a PDF version for you to download. Now, this is a high level overview and we'll take you through the journey of OEC activities in 2015. So we start here with a tree of sharing and we'll start with Open Education Week 2015. So there were 130 events hosted during the week in 20 different languages from 38 different countries. People who came to our website during the week was from 115 countries and we had close to 4.3 million Twitter impressions. So we were very happy to see that it was reaching out to as many people as possible. Of course, we would like to top that success this year and we need your help and ideas on that. Shortly after Open Education Week was the Global Conference. It was in Banff, Canada, during which we had seven plenary speakers at the altitude of 1,463 meters with 83 presentations from 37 countries. That's a lot of showcases and case studies and we had over 2,000 tweets. I'm sorry, I don't think the PDF version is up there right now. I'll put up the link later after the meeting for the PDF. So again, the conference had great reviews, response from people saying that they were able to network with as with many people. We learned a lot about Open Education all from students, faculty, administrators, policymakers alike. Again, this year we have the same conference in Krakow, Poland. I hope to see all of you there. And then the next section in the infographic is the member and community services. So these activities, I'm sure that many of you are familiar with these activities because we discussed these during the meetings over the course of 2015. So I'm not going to spend a lot of time going over them now. If you're not familiar with them, please see the infographic on the website and follow the links for more information. You can click on all the links for the project website. And underneath that section in the infographic is projects and activities. And these are some of the activities that you may not be too familiar with. We were involved in some great things last year, along with many of you. Like, let's say this project campus virtual did less America's. It is an initiative from the Organization of American States to make quality education accessible to the people of the Americas. So a group of selected institutions, organizations and corporations have granted their expertise to make this virtual hub possible. Our role was to collaborate and to take charge of its open education section, providing curated OERs, providing general information about open education, and support in the administration, design and structure of the website. Luckily, we have Marcella who's been very active with this project. So this was one of the more main activities last year happening in languages other than English. And then we also got involved with consulting or e-learning. So this project, e-learning pioneers, we organized this program to share best practices in e-learning and open education for female faculty members in Saudi Arabia. The program was sponsored by the Minister of Education and the National Center for e-learning and distance learning in Saudi Arabia. We partnered with some excellent organizations to make the program both broad and deep. So we had 40 pioneers from Saudi Arabia and here's a list of Saudi institutions participating. The program ran from February to December for 11 months and there were 178 hours of online workshops and webinars with two weeks for practical and placement locations in the U.S. And 154 is the number of U.S. faculty and administrators that our pioneers met with. 220 hours of training, meetings and discussions while they were in the U.S. So here you can see this slide gives you an overview of how the program was organized and the goals of each section. So on top, you see the objectives of each stage. And to the right in blue, you see how it was done, the workshops and the medium for which we were able to achieve the goals. And now we're in the process of writing up the final reports and assessment for this program. Okay, another great project was McLuhan Speak Special Collection. If you're familiar with Marshall McLuhan's work, you'll know that this is really cool. If you're not familiar with it, you should take a look. It features videos of his speeches and appearances, explaining his ideas in his own words like the medium is a message and the global village. All the videos have transcripts and this is a really remarkable primary source website. And we really appreciate the McLuhan family for making the decision to openly license all the content and share. And here we wanted to give you a snapshot of the advocacy and awareness raising work we've been doing. So all the pins that you see here are the places where the OEC staff and board members were at to give presentations, workshops, etc. And as you can see on this map, we covered all continents except for Antarctica. Okay, so it's in fine print, but still this map lists all the conferences and events where we presented, gave workshops or organized seminars. You can find these slides on our website under resources. Right, Robert, you're right. Russia and China, in the past year, we haven't done a lot of awareness raising in that area. And India too, right. I think test India is one of the main groups doing work in India and nobody else was really doing a lot of work other than maybe edX people in India very recently. So since Robert pointed that out, maybe we should plan ahead and see how we can work more in Russia and China. Yes, yes, MIT has a big project in India. Many projects in India. Okay, now we've got Willem in the package. Okay, thank you, Willem and Robert. Okay, so this is a really good map to have to see where we were and where we want to be this year. Okay, all right. April is not too far away, we can talk then. Okay, so the last slide is a thank you slide. That's the last part of our infographics there. And of course, you know, we have to thank all of you who made these activities possible. Our sustaining members, member institutions, collaborators, partners, committee members and all the other individuals who helped us make it through the year with these great workshop activities. And now we move on to highlights from community members. And for today's meeting, we've got Thomas from Opportunity in Education. Yes, good morning, everyone. Can everyone hear me okay? Thomas. Good. Yes, my name is Thomas Pilz. I'm from Germany and we initiated a project, a global education project called Opportunity in Education. The aim of the project is a bit ambitious but we're quite positive. We want to create equal opportunity in education based on e-learning and digital solutions to pass it on around the world. And one aspect I'm going to introduce later is freeing data from open source LMS or any kind of LMS actually. In order in the spirit of open educational resources to swap complete courses from one LMS where they were generated into or make them available for any other LMS that likes to use a complete course rather than a piece of open educational resource like a PDF or PowerPoint or things like this. And this was inspired actually over the last or past two years in talks with plenty of teachers, students and at through pilot project with universities simply as a request. This is something wonderful to have and we evaluated the idea, could envision that this makes sense and this is how it works. What happens usually in an LMS and there's regardless what type of LMS stays within the LMS. It starts with the user data, with learning analytics, things like this, but also with the content actually used for teaching or learning. And what we want to achieve with our solution is to have people from anywhere with any kind of LMS dive into ready made courses that are available. For instance, a course made in Moodle which is excellent for teaching mathematics. That to swap around from Moodle to Moodle is relatively simple, but to swap that around to people which are using OLED or Canvas or any other type of LMS usually make necessary retyping, reorganizing. Practically it takes a lot of time and with especially teachers in school levels in Germany and Austria we spoke to. They have problems first with the time, second sometimes with the technology. So what we do is try to do something to simplify this. And we're using for instance the experience API as one model to make that possible just for those that are interested in what is the technology behind this. For those that are no coders and programmers that might be boring so therefore I keep that brief. The experience API is a technology piece of technology which is often coined as the successor of SCOM. It's not quite like that, but it fits into this and it does a lot more and allows a lot more for e-learning and learning analytics as SCOM does. And the main advantage of the experience API is actually that it is a perfect tool for transporting and storing data, not only learning data, any kind of data. Learning data important for learning analytics and personalized learning environments so that people can run basically their own in their own control, their learning CV. But to transport data and store data goes also with learning content and therefore also then this complete courses. And that allows then to create a more complex situation. We have one project running actually at this time. So it's not just Siri and some dream, Pine in the sky kind of thing, it's actually happening. This is a project where eight schools from 70 new countries try to make museum content more interesting for school pupils to bring museum art and everything that goes with it into schools, but also to transport typical classical school subject into a museum like physics, biology and things like this. So if you think about Leonardo da Vinci, for instance, he was perfect artist, but he was also a genius in many other fields and that is where the deductible concept starts with these schools. So now these people use a custom made moodle platform from us, which is basically pimped with communication tools in the back end so that collaboration in groups, chat, live chats, video conferences, things like this could happen. But it's one platform just for these eight participating schools. And to push content now to other participants which might want to adapt this concept is relatively simple as long as we always talk about moodle. But the world is not just moodle in Germany. It is almost just moodle, but outside Germany there are plenty of varieties and we want to cater for these as well. So now looking at the same situation what we create is a central content hub where any connected LMS with content that should be submitted to others or is made freely available to others, others can draw from. So it's not anymore necessary to use the same deductible concept of the interactive museum guide with the moodle installation. You can do that actually with an open OLED or proprietary software. You can use Canvas. You can use practically anything you like and pull complete content, but also push courses back to the community, which is actually the idea. And that would look then something like this technically. There are on the left side the connections that submit content and on the right side are the connected LMSs that pull content and that can be done. Okay, now I'm back. Can you hear me again? So what did you miss or where did it stop with audio? The beginning of this slide. Okay. Okay, there. Can you hear me? Okay. Yeah, I'm sorry for that. Don't know what's happening here. I start this over. So this slide shows basically the connections of the content hub to participating LMS. And what we create and create it already is a solution where a moodle can swap with an open OLED and the other way around complete coursework. Everything that you can swap from an open OLED to a life ray or customized life ray LMS complete coursework. The technology behind it is simply to be emulated for any type of LMS because depending on how they look and how they work and how they advertise, why they're better than the other solution. In the end of the day behind the screen is a bit of code and that is like everyone cooks with the same kind of water. So these connections without going into these technical details are relatively simple. What we're looking for in the moment is participation in evaluation projects and pilot projects where this thing is basically tested to the end even breaking it. Because what we want to achieve is between today and the end of the year to create a complete stable release that will be open source available to anyone where there is a central content hub which we would manage and administer. But basically anyone could use the code and use the same system and install content hubs all over the globe. If I'm not wrong, that completes actually what I was going to show and unfortunately sorry for the sound problems. If you do have any questions, please, providing you can hear me now. Do we have already connected commercial platforms such as Blackboard and Canvas? No, Blackboard we haven't. Canvas we were trying. Unfortunately there was a bit of a glitch with communication with these guys and we postponed that now for meeting them or anyone in charge who can take some decisions when we are in Krakow. Canvas as a commercial platform was actually something we aimed for but as I said unfortunately communication was not too good. So we tried to do this face to face. We have other proprietary software connected. But basically we aim at for most in the moment open source and freely available simply because in few European countries a lot of Austria for instance even corporations use Moodle or systems like this and we want to see how this works with them. And then basically from the experience we do with Moodle and other open source softwares move on to other systems. Yes, we know that Blackboard is market leader in a few markets. But nevertheless in the moment what we have to do is get the vehicle on the... Hello? Can you hear me okay? So probably you missed again what I said about the Blackboard part or did you get that? Okay, you missed it. What I said is there are plenty of systems and probably there are better ways in going about evaluating this development than we choose. But we choose in the moment to go with open source and what is widely available anywhere in the world. And I just before saw that India is under served and other parts. I don't know how popular Blackboard or paid solutions are in these parts of the world. So what we wanted to achieve and maybe we learn something better from you now is actually to provide a solution that practically in the moment anyone could use. So Moodle is simply to pull a live for you as well, open OLED. These kind of things with Blackboard is probably something different. To connect commercial platforms in the end of the day is simple because as I said and anyone knows that who deals with software behind a fancy front end is code and that is no magic and trickery. So it's a few lines of code that then would connect Blackboard or other systems. Can you hear me now? Yes we can. Okay good. Yeah I'm sorry I don't know what's happening here but... We all didn't know that we're only going to have a lot of questions for you today. Yeah no, no problem. So here's the solution now. Can you hear me now? Yes perfect, we're aware of that. For the commercial evaluation what we want to achieve is Moodle for instance even if I'm personally not so keen on Moodle but it's widely used and it is used for instance in Austria in many many businesses. It's very simple to create situations where also businesses can evaluate how that works for them, what is the benefit and actually in the end of the day businesses are the ones which should sponsor and support this kind of developments to keep it free and open and really freely accessible to anyone else. Okay another question is what is the benefit for institute and lectures. We got the idea simply inspired by teachers which and I'm just talking now about Germany and I'm talking about Austria for instance where everything is available. There's a server structure, there's Moodle set up, there's someone who's administrating these things and they have courses and classes on how to get content in it and how to make it interesting and appealing for kids. Which is with Moodle who work with this not that really easy because it's not really fun and intuitive, it doesn't really appeal to kids because it did not arrive really with functionalities in the 21st century but that is a situation. So the media competence of plenty of teachers and also students is not that great. And they spend a lot of time and waste from their point of view a lot of time creating courses, creating material which is good which follows the objective of teaching. And the idea was if there is like open educational resources, complete courses that I could use then it would save me a lot of time. I only need to maybe customize things or use it with a layer plugin framework the course as is. And this is where the benefit sits there and how that works and if that is in the end of the day something which will be adopted around the globe or in a different way. It's the beginning, it's in the moment a prototype pilot kind of thing. Probably it is called something else in a year and it probably works completely different in two years but we have to start somewhere and that is where it is. So for content authors for instance it is much easier and wider for them to get their content out there to plenty of systems rather than to one. And they are immediately in a system and not just some coursework which is sitting around isolated if for instance in schools or universities are required to use a particular system. That sounds like a good idea Rylan. Or we can probably set up another course. In Krakow or if there is plenty of questions then anyone is welcome to send me an email. With the website opportunity in education there is plenty of information on there that will be filled more and more with life as we go now. And there is also contact options and possibilities to get in touch with me or with anyone else on the team. Just about to put in the link. Thomas put it in there. Okay Thomas is not only going to be in Krakow but his company is sponsoring the OE Global Conference. So just thank you Evo for the link. We'll have a plenty of opportunity to talk to him during the conference but it I was just talking to him this morning saying that it would be nice to have some calls with other members prior to the conference because he's got a lot of really interesting tools for OER such as an LMS Cater to OER and a whole bunch of other APIs and tools. It's really really cool. So we can talk about that later. Okay well thank you very much Thomas for the talk. Thank you for having me even with audio difficulties. Sorry for that. That's Germany for you. That's really great. Thank you. Okay so we're going to move on to the next item on the agenda. So let's put this technology side away for a little while and we're going to be putting on the hats of a party planner. As we're going to be talking about planning for the 10 year anniversary of the Cape Town Declaration. So we've been working with Shuttleworth Foundation and Open Society Institute to coordinate the global celebration of a 10 year anniversary and one of the things that we'll be doing is we'll be having our global conference in Cape Town in March 2017. So we're going to have the whole open education community celebrating in Cape Town at the time. But we want to do something more special. Of course having the global community there itself is really special but can we think of any kind of activity that will push open education forward and increase awareness of open education around the world? Any thoughts? Yes, thank you Igor. The Mozilla Foundation also. For example, while this celebration is going on in Cape Town, what can happen in Japan to increase awareness of open education and have more institutions from Japan signed with this Cape Town Declaration on OER? Actually the dates are really close. I don't know exactly how they're going to tie in with the dates to look at all the achievements that happened in for a decade. They've got their own celebration, again showing the impact, putting the cases together, documenting all the activities, cases from major regions. Do you have any ideas, suggestions, any wild thoughts on how to showcase these cases? We're going to have a lot of reading to do if it's all in writing, right? Connect activities from different regions. Robert, do you want to elaborate? So all three. Sure, we can do infographic. That's going to be a huge scroll, but yep, that is doable. Okay, and showing the next steps. Any ideas on how to forecast or how to appoint certain things as the next thing to do in the movement? Maybe we can have some kind of vote or award for what's going to be the trending thing in the next coming decade. Easy to read, to understand, and to disseminate. Yes, of course. That would be very important. Okay, how would you like to push open as a default for education? Oh, yes, definitely. So this is a really quick brainstorming to just let you know what's coming. Of course, let's do that. So today I'm going to send you guys the chat history so that you can think about it a little more and do email us again to feedback at early consortium. We can keep the discussion going on for a little while. And then when we officially have another call on the planning meeting, we can all pitch in with ideas. Okay, sounds good. We'll create a Google Doc with chat history, some ideas, and then you guys can all add to it a pre preliminary version of the planning talk. So we'll stop at that. I'll send you guys a Google Doc with the chat history, some of the ideas that were brought up here so that we can expand on it. Thank you for all the ideas and suggestions. Okay, so we've got just a couple more things to talk about. Open Education Award for Excellence. You all know that the deadline for nominating somebody or a project for the award is January 29. You can see this on the conference website because, of course, the award dinner is at the conference. These are the categories for the awards, individual leadership, individual educator, outstanding site, outstanding course, open MOOCs, creative innovation, and open research. And here's the link for you to go on our website. Thank you, Igor, for all the links. And this is the information you'll be seeing on the website in a very simple nomination form. It would be great if you can nominate somebody and show your appreciation to the person or to the project, the wonderful work that they're doing in the community. Okay, one last thing. The global conference early birth rate is valid till the 10th of February. So hurry up and register before the early registration ends. Okay, so we have a couple minutes left. So if you have any questions or comments or any discussion items that you would like to bring up at the moment, this is the time. Great. Okay, so any, if you have, if you have forgotten to talk about something at the call today, do let us know you know where to reach us. And I will send you the Google Docs so that you can keep thinking about planning for the Cape Town Declaration. Thank you, Thomas, for the talk. Thank you, everyone for joining us today. Thank you all. We'll talk to you again soon.
