Ukraine created new unique system against Russian drones. Ukraine has created a unique electronic warfare system, Piranha AVD 360, to protect armored vehicles and military personnel against enemy drones. The relevant statement was made by Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister for Innovation, Education, Science and Technology Development, Digital Transformation Minister Mikhail Fedorov on Telegram. Piranha AVD 360 is a unique electronic warfare system to strengthen the defence forces. This technology helps to protect armored vehicles and military personnel against enemy drones, more effectively Fedorov wrote. In his words, the Piranha AVD 360 electronic warfare system creates a protective dome of up to 600 metres around itself. The system prevents drones from receiving commands and transmitting data. As a result, unmanned aerial vehicles hang in the air, make an emergency landing or fall uncontrollably. According to Fedorov, the Piranha AVD 360 electronic warfare system also jams satellite navigation systems such as Rutter's GLONASS. Currently, the system has successfully passed field tests and is ready for serial production. Technologies and innovations are the key to our victory. They help to destroy the enemy more effectively and save the lives of the military, Fedorov noted. A reminder that more than 1,500 Ukrainian-made FPV drones were purchased as part of the government's programme and sent to the Donetsk direction.


My name is Aran Cheruta-Rotich. I'm from Kenya. I have a problem in my spine for almost three years. And I was treated there in my country, Kenya. But they turned off enough facilities so that is why I just manifold. Mrs. Anne, she had been struggling with her back and leg pain for the past three years.  We did all the tests possible to diagnose the problem accurately. She had a problem in the lower two discs of her spine along with the bony instability. That is lumbar canal stenosis L4-5 and L5-S1 with instability. We suggested her that she needed to undergo a posterior spinal decompression and fusion surgery. She readily agreed for this. She underwent the proposed surgery the very next day. She is walking independently. She is climbing up and down the stairs. And the pre-operative symptoms of back and leg pain have completely disappeared. And she is getting more and more confident to do her activities of daily living. I'm sure very soon you will see her jumping, trekking, running, jogging and playing and do whatever she wants. I wish her all the success. Dr. Vidyatra has told us that her condition has improved so much. She could not bend. She can now sit. Even our lunch this afternoon, she cooked. After surgery plan, I feel good and may God bless Manipal Hospital.


The market is a cycle, guys. And regardless of where we are in the cycle, it has nothing to do with your success or how many properties you're selling, nothing to do with it. And if I can take what I've learned through being through many market cycles and read the writing on the wall and say, listen, this is what I see, this is what we should be thinking about, and this is what we should be doing, and every video, every podcast, every post, there's something in there that is saying, look, if you look closely and listen closely, there's something in there that you can pick up that is going to prepare you for what's coming, regardless of what it is, because it's just a cycle. You know, you can work till midnight every day. You can work till 2 o'clock in the morning every day. You know, I get up really early and I work out and I answer DMs and I kind of get my day started and I work as hard as I can till 5 and listen. If I hadn't got it done by 5, I'm not going to get it done. You know, no need to get in a hurry now, right? It's 5 o'clock, so I really enjoy that 5 o'clock to 10 o'clock with the family. I try to bypass any weekends that I can to just spend with the family, so I think it comes down to being present. You know, a lot of people that spend time with their family, they're not present. They're thinking about work, they're thinking about other things when they're with their family, and that can be devastating. You know, that can grow a lot of resentment because they know that you're not present mentally. You got to be there. So, I literally completely shut down my entire mind, you know, in terms of work and in the evenings. There's a lot of things as a new agent. I mean, your schedule should always be make calls all morning, 9 to 12, and then do all your marketing and training in the evenings. That should be your routine. Now, I'm not really focused on buyers or sellers. You know, I'm not really focused on one or the other. I'm just focused on property owners. They're the best buyers and they're the only sellers, right?   You know, while you're out there trying to create more business, right? You leverage yourself by getting listings. If your property owner ends up being a buyer, they're the best quality buyer. They already know the game. You don't have to educate them on property taxes, upkeep, maintenance, utilities, you know, closing costs. You don't have to educate them at all. It takes all that education part of the process out of the picture. Also, their uncertainty about what they want. A lot of first-time home buyers, they still kind of don't know exactly what they want, don't know what they can afford. Social media, you're looking at, you know, one, two, three, four, five, 10% organic reach, okay? So let's build the foundation on our weekly email and stack social media on top of that. So be there for the webinar tomorrow. I pinned a comment there in the comments on YouTube.


So what's going on guys? Patriot Prime here once again with another episode of The Sit Rep. And I am here tonight with Eric, also known as InuTabi on YouTube. Eric, how are you doing tonight? Hey, how's it going, Jason? Don't worry about it, buddy. Good, good. Well, first off, tell us a little bit about yourself. Well, my name is Eric. I'm from a small town in northern North Carolina. You might can tell from accent. And the shirt. I work for a... Yeah. Yeah. I work for a textile company. It's probably the largest in the country. And I'm a manager there, and I handle several things within the company. I have a family, have a daughter, and a son, and a wife, of course. And we just built a house in the last year and moved to a different part from where we used to live. It's actually closer to like civilization. So that's much better. Which part of North Carolina are you from? I have family in High Point. Actually, I'm from a small town called Oxford. And we moved closer to Lake Wake Forest, which is much bigger. It's close to Wake Forest, Durham, Raleigh, all that. So yeah, you can see the big city. Yeah, I've got family in Charlotte, too. We always enjoy going down there. That's where I went to my first transformer convention, Shardacon in 2013. Oh, okay. All right, sir. So how the sit-rep works is I have five questions for you as a transformer collector and then five questions for you as a YouTuber. So are you ready to rock and roll? Sure. Let's do it. All right. First question. What's the appeal of transformers for you? I think it's the transformation and I always like the engineering. To me, it's gotten me like, how do they do that? How do you make a robot as a truck that turns into, you know, it's very unique especially with the stuff nowadays like it back in the 80s, it was very easy. It's a couple flips, a twist, you know, but now I mean, you've got stuff that a tab goes in here. This is folded in here. You turn this around. I mean, you got to have a degree in mechanical engineering sometimes figure these things out. And some of these master's figures, you almost have to have a pair of tweezers to move something out of the way. It's like, how do you even think of that? Yeah. I agree. Yeah. That's always been, I think, the thing that got me. It's like one of the, like I had He-Man, I had G.I. Joe, I had Rambo, if anybody remembers that. I had, you know, all the stuff from the 80s, Jason, the Wild Warriors, you name it. But transformers just really kind of stood out as like the one thing that I've always liked. Now, I haven't always collected it, but you know, back in like when the first movies were coming out in 2007, I picked up a few figures and I was like, they just sat on the shelf, didn't really do much with it, and then didn't really do anything else for a while. But yeah, that's kind of been the appeal to it. That's a long drawn out explanation, isn't it? Hey, man, that's fine. That's fine. I've had some doozies on here. All right. Number two, aside from G.I., which is always the right answer, what is your favorite transformers fiction? Ooh, fiction. Cartoon, comic book, movie. Well, how I first got into it was comic book. There was like a four series comic in like the 80s. There was like a painted cover with Optimus and I think Gears. I can't remember episode two, but three was the one with Spider-Man wrapped around. Yeah, that was three. That was my first introduction to transformers. Oh. So that's how it started out. So it was originally a four issue limited series, got popular, turned into an 80 issue limited series. Yeah, I remember a lot of them because one of them was, I think number six was all about the Dinobots. Number four was like, I think Mirage is holding his shoulder in the corner or something like that. He could just bit his arm off. Yeah, that's it. They're very kid friendly back then. Yeah. Yeah, I found those at a place called Eckerd Drug Store and that's where we would go get our comics. My dad took me and it was on the shelf and I just remember, wow, this is pretty cool. And then I remember Spider-Man and then the toys come out. So just kind of went from there. That's great. That's great. Love Marvel G1. That was my fiction growing up because I didn't live where I could get cable. Oh, yeah. So my series was the comic book stories and you know, every now and then I'd catch a show if I visited my grandparents. Yeah. All right. Number three, do you have a favorite figure in your collection? A grail. This is the one toy you'll never get rid of. Um, yeah, I just got it not too long ago. It was Magic Square's Optimus Prime.  So yeah, I will never get rid of that thing. He's a nice looking figure. My buddy Bert the Stormtrooper did a great interview or interview shit review of him and I was really impressed with him. And I think Deluxe Baldwin, he does a lot of Magic Square. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I clicked a lot of those too. Yeah. This is a great figure. I mean, there's other companies that are making them now like Transformer Element and Smother Places Zeta is doing one, but it looks great. It fits with all the other masterpiece and third party stuff I've got. Um, can't really say any complaints about it. The plastic.  But the problem is I made a mistake of ordering that like January 13th. So coming out of China in the beginning of January, Chinese New Year. Yeah. So I got it. I got it like a month and a half later and I didn't know I've never really ordered anything from China like that.   Last time I ordered something from China, I got it in hand in five days. Yeah. I've seen it. I've seen them doing like a week and that's amazing. But this I was emailing the company and it was like, well, it was sitting at the airport on January 20th and I was like, well, it's February 14th. I'll just give it a couple more weeks. Good God. Yeah. It's easy for them to say when, you know, it's not their money you just spent to get this thing. Yeah. All right. Number four, what figure is your white whale, your most wanted toy? I would like to have a nice G1 shockwave that, you know, I don't care about the box and all that, but just a good quality looking one or either one sound wave or either a sound wave with the tapes that looks in decent shape. I never had a sound wave or a shockwave as a kid. Those are the ones I always want. I was so upset. I have a shockwave that I rebuilt. I mean, he's got the good hose on him. I did the rewiring. He worked perfectly. I set him on my shelf. So, and this was a couple of years ago. I pulled him down to do a review on him the other day. His electronics don't work anymore. I'm like, ah, he still looks good. So I still got a shockwave. All right. Last question regarding the transformers. What's your favorite transformer character? Any fiction? Any media? Um, had to be Mirage. Just he's a spy. He was, you know, always sneaking up on people. He turned invisible. Uh, I think it was something questionable about his motive. Sometimes I think from what I've read in some comics, um, I always liked that character. I don't think they were delved into it in the cartoon enough. I remember one episode like he pretended he was he had to set the con badge or something. I can't remember what the deal was at. I know the episode you're talking about and I can say I shot him with a shrapnel in the chest or something like that. And he appeared from being invisible. I don't remember much else. I think it was something about bombshell or maybe he was faking that bombshell got him with a Cerebro shell. Yeah, yeah, we're seeing something about it when I reviewed when I was researching my bombshell video. Now, I really think it. I don't think he did much in the comics other than the first that last episode episode. I always call comics episodes last issue where he fought Ravage and Ravage bid his arm off. He always played on the fact he was the most homesick of the Autobots, which carried over into the television show. That's why he snuck aboard the Decepticon ship when it was leaving and was able to cause it to crash. That was that was also my first transformer. So I've always just kind of like that character. I had the toy as a kid and I just always like that's one of the ones you don't hear of. I've done hell. I think you're going to be my 14th episode and it's always either Optimus or Megatron or one of the biggies. I've never heard one like Mirage show. Good deal. All right, here we go. These are the YouTuber questions. Number six is what possessed you? A grown-ass man to do toy reviews on YouTube. So one night I was just surfing through YouTube and I came across this guy that was doing toy hunts named Josh Pence and they're in this group called The Syndicate or whatever and he was going to different places in Ohio and there's toy stores everywhere there. There's nothing here. It's maybe one, but it seems so interesting. He made it seem so much fun to get these toys and get these figures and I watched it and I watched it. I probably watched 50 of those videos over like a weekend and I just got the bugs like damn, I like transformers. And I went to the store in Rawling and next thing I know I bought two or three. Then I ordered some more. Then I bought a Predaking and I was buying figures left or right and then it was just snowballing there. Next thing I know I had like 50 or 60 figures and I just jumped in it kind of a little bit too quickly. I didn't do enough research. I was just, oh, there's transform. There's transform. There's transformers buying stuff instead of like, hey, I should maybe do a little bit more research and do it, but I was just hooked and been that way ever since. It's kind of hard when you jump right in. Of course, when you're doing these YouTube videos you always learn from your previous video. It's so funny to go back and see some of my first ones like I had this camera angle that shot upwards because I didn't have a tripod. I think I mounted it on my belt clip somehow. And then you work with your lighting and different styles and I think it took me a year but I think I finally found my niche. All right. Now I know you're fairly new but what keeps inspiring you to get in front of the camera? One, probably that I watched a lot of other YouTubers and that's my motivation on its own. I watched your stuff. I watched Deluxe. I watched T-Man. I watched Nate Simmons. I watched, you name it, I watched Ben Collectibles. If there's a guy doing transformers and doing reviews unboxing, I'm watching it. That motivates me to do it. Also like some of the stuff they're releasing is really, I mean, third party alone is great. Just they're releasing something every month, multiple times. Hasbro is doing a fantastic job with Siege. I really don't think I've seen a bad figure out of everyone I've bought and I bought every single one of them except for like one or two of the new deluxes that's come out. Yeah, I think that's what keeps me going. It's just, it's really become a lot of fun. That gives you a new way to appreciate your figures. Yeah. All right, question number eight. There are thousands of toy reviewers on YouTube. What makes you different from the rest? Well, that's a loaded question. I'm not sure I'm so necessarily different than everybody. I just try to be plain and simple. I don't try to do too much fancy graphics, whatever. I'm getting better. I don't know enough about it to do it right now. So I'm trying to get my intros a little bit better trying to do the famous thumbnail so that everybody does a good thumbnail. I'm like, well, I got this one thought I like. So I'm gonna go with that for right now. I do record in 4K. I have increased my lighting. I'm trying to explain stuff and show it better. When I was first doing it, yeah, that looked like garbage.  But it was one of those things where I want to learn how to do it all. So I'm getting better and better and we'll continue to get better and better as I learn how to do more things. But differentiating myself from other people is, I don't say I'm that different. I'm just giving you a common sense approach to a figure. You have it, you don't have it. Hey, watch this video. I'll show you what it looks like and we'll show you what I like about it. If you wanna buy it, great, if you don't, don't. There you go. So what was your first figure you reviewed? Oh God. Well, to start off, how long you been doing this? Uh, July. Okay. July of 2018, a Predaking, I think, was the first one. Pretty sure that's it. Damn. Picked a small one to start with, didn't you? Well, yeah, I did the figures and I did the robot. I did the robot and I did the animal conversions and I did it all at one and it's a sucky video, but gotta start somewhere. My biggest problem with the big guys is I don't have that much of a viewing space. Yeah. I learned that. You have to rig up something right here on my desk. All right, this is question number nine. What's your thoughts on the transformer social community, i.e. YouTube, Facebook, anything like that, and do you have any special shout-outs? Uh, when you say shout-outs. Like, um, my stuff or?  Sorry, I'm new to the whole thing. The community, so I told Matthew this, I really had no issues with it. YouTube has been great so far and a few people have commented on my videos.  Facebook tends to be a little different. I see some of the forms, are they forms? I don't know, whatever you call them. Posts. Groups or whatever, I'm in like several different ones and a lot of them are good, but then you see the stuff where like, got to post a picture of his box or something, he said, you know, and maybe he's asking for it, I don't know, he just says, what's in the box?  That's been going around, it took me a while to get used to that. It's a thing, it's just a game, the collectors are like, hey, I just got something today, what's in this? And yeah, your mama jokes, they're all over the place, you have to deal with it.  Yeah, it wouldn't bother me either way. I'm one of those people that, I'm hard to offend, so I don't get offended easily, so. I knew we'd get along well. Yeah, it doesn't really matter.  So, okay, thanks for watching. I appreciate it. I'm gonna say thanks, what can I do to improve it? Yeah. I take the criticism, like you were talking about thumbnails. I got into a conversation with some other YouTubers regarding thumbnails and when I first started, my figurehead, if you will, is my MP01 Prime with the American flag. Right. And when I was making thumbnails, I always made that like the big front and center image. And I did that for almost a year and I forget who it was, told me, said, listen, when somebody's looking for your YouTube videos, they're not wanting to watch, they're not looking for your image, they're looking for the figure. So I tweaked my thumbnails around now, I'm very consistent where I'll have a picture of the robot mode on the right side and the vehicle mode on the left. Of course, I still do my American flag background. And that's kind of helped, I think, with my views a little bit. People are more apt to click on that than the same link they see with this giant Optimus Prime with the flag. That's interesting, I hadn't thought about that. So like I normally just do like a picture of the box with the figure and then just the name of the, like the line and then the name of the figure. But that's interesting. I may have to take that advice right there and change mine. You do, man. We help each other out. And now we both just lost it. Oh, fantastic. He's off the cuff, cuff one's up. Would you have any special shout outs? Any reviewers you wanna holla at? Oh yeah, well, you're one. I watch all, I lie to your stuff. Like the other night, I might've told you this, I watched every single MicroMaster video that you had MicroMaster month. Oh my God. I think it was 28 or 29 videos or something like that.  It was last May. And I was just trying to come up with some kind of gimmick to do and I thought the month of May starts with M, let's do MicroMaster's month. I forgot how many I had. And I think I did like 28 videos in 28 days. So I might not be out one or two on the same day. Then I had a couple of regular reviews, a couple of unboxings and it was nuts. And then during that review, I actually realized, hey, I don't have this one. I went hunting for him, found another one. So yeah, I won't be doing anything like that again. I might do a jump starter month or something. It was great. I mean, it kind of got me hooked where I've been looking through eBay for MicroMaster Watts. Oh, they're addictive. I didn't think I'd like them as much as I did. Yeah, I like the bases. I don't know what it is. It's something about those little bases. It reminds me, I'll tell you what it reminds me. As a kid, I had Hot Wheels, had like little garages and stuff like that. You could put the cars with. I think that's maybe what it is. It kind of reminds me of that. It came out the same time the micro machines were popular. So all the toy lines were feeding off each other. And I was gonna bring something up to our viewers too. You were talking about, you were watching my videos. So the other night, I'm watching Eric on another show on Hale Hasbro. I don't know what he wants to be called. Matthew Baldwin, Hale Hasbro reviews. He's doing an interview with Eric. In the background of Eric, he has his TV on and he's watching me. So here I am watching a guy who's watching me while I'm watching him. So it was like a YouTube exception. It was weird. I thought that was so funny. It was like, oh, there's that's me. Well, in the background now I got Matthew with his new Megatron. You can't say sorry, Matt. My screen doesn't work. Yeah, I got the new Megatron review I gotta watch back there. But yeah, he's another one I'd shout out, Matt. I watch a lot of his stuff. I like his, I think one thing that I like about his is like he's from, I think Arkansas, Mississippi or something like that. So I'm very cognizant of my accent. So when I first started doing this, like, God, people, you hear a lot of people say, I don't like Southern accents. But then you hear a lot of people say, I love your accent. So like doing videos, I was like, I don't know if people's gonna want to hear me talk and stuff like that. So I started hearing his, I was like, well, his isn't worse than mine. It's similar. And he's got a lot of viewers and people like him. And so it made me feel like, yeah, all right, I can do this. Another one is- Man, you sound like Hank Hill. You sound like that guy from King of the Hill. Are you from Texas? I got there, Bobby, I'm from West Virginia. I guess they expect more of a Hillbilly slang sometime from West Virginia, but, you know, do what I can. All right, my man, will you have any more? We keep- Well, of course. Yeah, Ben's collectibles is another one. He's English, I guess. He does a lot of stuff ahead of time. I like his, Emgo, I watch that. There's one guy who I kind of like do mine sort of similar to, just like his demeanor, the way he does the videos is, I can't say it, but it's like P-A-U-G-A, whatever. P-O? That's how I say it, like P-O. P-O, okay. All right, I'll start saying that. I guess I could be wrong, hell, I don't know. That's the kind of way I like to do mine. He shows the figure, explains it, doesn't go into too much stuff, because I'm not as knowledgeable as like other people, but he just shows you the way it is. And I feel like that's a good review. Good deal. All right, final question. Do you have any channel goals for yourself and where can my viewers find you? Plug yourself, this is all about you now. All right, here we go. So I'd like to be at 500, I'm at like 119 right now. So the goal is like 500 by the end of the year. I know I could probably maybe do more, but what I found out as I do more videos is I contribute more, as I interact more, I'm getting more views and more interaction. So I've learned that part of it. My channel is Enutabi, so it's capital E, N-E-W-T-A-B-I-E. I have an Instagram, which I put pictures and links, well not links, but like a picture of my thumbnail, my YouTube channel, and I have to look that up because I don't know what that Instagram channel name is. All right, it's E. I'll go ahead. Yeah, it's E underscore Newton, N-E-W-T-O-N, underscore collects. So that's Instagram, I've got like 470 some people following me on there. I don't care, thousand be nice. Here's a goal. Well, just to let you know, and my viewers know that I will put a link to your channel in the description of this video. And at the end during my flag waving outro, I'll have a link to one of your videos and your channel as well. All right, I'm gonna help you out. Thank you, I appreciate that. Appreciate that. All right, well that is pretty much it with our sit rep. I wanna thank you for coming on with, coming on the show with me. Man, this is water people, I swear. It's water, cannot talk tonight. So that's it, got anything else? No, I appreciate the time and you didn't have to do it, but it means a lot to me to get on the channel and talk about transformers. I could do it every day pretty much, but I appreciate the opportunity to be on your channel and talk with you about it. Thanks. I enjoy this too, because there's nobody around here that I can talk to. Nobody's into this that I know. Me either, same thing. This YouTube thing's been a great way to meet people and somebody commented earlier, how much they like me doing this, because they get to meet people they subscribe to as well. Most everybody just knows just this little round images in the comments section. Man, I cannot talk to my puff. Pull up my shot glass here. All right guys, well, as you, I'm gonna try this one more time. As usual, I wanna thank everybody for taking the time and watching my video. If you like what you see, don't forget to like, don't forget to subscribe and give my man, Eric, some love as well. This is Patriot Prime, signing out. Who are? Hey, I really appreciate you guys stopping by my channel. Don't forget to like and don't forget to subscribe. Also, check out some of my other videos that I've done on Generation One Transformers, Modern Era Transformers, and Toy Hacks Reprolabel 6. Once again, this is Patriot Prime. Who are?


Cool going children, adults all are facing this stress. How much amount of stress is ideal or optimal for a person? For that we need to understand this stress performance curve as stress is plotted along the x-axis and performance is plotted along the y-axis. If we are not having any stress that will not yield any performance that will lead to boredom and inactiveness and this stage is called as a laid back stage and after this stage your stress increases, your performance also increases. There you get the maximum productivity or maximum creativity then after which if your stress increases the stress causes a negative effect on your performance and the performance decreases then beyond a point you will have anxiety panic and anger deep mainly to break down. So in this point you need to take care of yourself and follow stress management techniques. This is the point for your ideal growth based on your individual personality skill level and your environment and other commitments you should decide what is the best optimal level and you need to be somewhere here to be productive for life.


Today's khutbah is about one of the names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. It's an interesting name. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has many names, infinite names. In the Quran, we have about 150 names that were mentioned. And in the sunnah of the Prophet a.s., around 160 names. Shared between the Quran and sunnah, we have over 210 names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Some are uniquely mentioned in the Quran, some are uniquely mentioned in the sunnah of the Prophet a.s. But the names of Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala are uncountable. This name that we will contemplate on very briefly in this khutbah is a name that he allowed us to use. It's a name that we use as well. Have we ever heard of anyone allowing you to use this title? Have you ever heard of a CEO telling you that you can use my title as a CEO? Or a director of finance? Or a doctor in a hospital? Yet Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has a name that he allowed each and every one of us to use. And to claim has his own name as our own title. And this name is al-mu'min. Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is called al-mu'min. And we, each and every one of us who has iman, is called also mu'min. It's called mu'min. But in our case, in my case, I understand. I understand what it means to be a mu'min. It means I believe in Allah. I believe in the angels. I believe in the prophets. I believe in the books. I believe in the day of judgment. I believe in destiny. Understand what it means. But what does it mean as far as Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala has concerned? What does it mean when we say Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is al-mu'min? And what are the implications of those meanings on us? On each and every one of us. You and me. The word mu'min in Arabic comes from a verb called amana. And comes from a root noun called iman, as we all know. And the word amana in Arabic has two essential meanings. It has many shades of meanings, but there are two essential meanings. The first meaning is amana, i.e. safety. Safety and security. As Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala says in the Quran و آمنهم من خوف لإيلاف كوريشن إيلافهم رحلة الشتاء والصيف فليعبد رب هذا البيت الذي أطعمهم من جوعين و آمنهم من خوف Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is the one that he آمنهم من خوف He made them safe. He made them feel safe and secure. Secure out of what? Secure from fear. Secure from anything that will result in not feeling safe or not feeling secure. When I'm driving in the middle of the night and there are no lights or if I'm walking in the middle of the night and there are no lights and no people I may not feel secure. What if someone attacks me? The second meaning of Imam is the meaning that was mentioned in Surat Yusuf, alaihi salam when the brothers of Yusuf after throwing him in the well they told their father that the wolf ate him and then they said وما أنت بمؤمن لنا ولكننا صادقين They said you will not believe you wouldn't believe us even if we were telling the truth This meaning is to confirm the truth The second meaning of Imam is to confirm the truth to affirm the truth to declare the truth to commit to the truth Actually the highest form of commitment to the truth is called Imam and we are committed to the truth capital T We believe in Allah We believe in the prophets We believe in the messengers We believe in the books We believe in everything that the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam brought to us to believe in the truth to commit to the truth to affirm the truth to attest to the truth is called Imam and also to be a provider to give safety and security is called Imam So how does that apply to Allah Allah is the believer in the first sense in the sense that he confirms the truth and he affirms the truth about himself as he revealed the Quran to us and in the Quran there are true facts about Allah that he is ghafoor he is raheem he is rahmaam he affirms the truth about himself and he also affirms the truth about his messengers and he confirms the truth that his messengers brought to us by equipping them with everything they need in order to deliver the message to us Allah confirms the truth in his words he confirms the truth in his acts how is that his acts always confirms the truth of his words his acts and words work together his acts will never contradict his words and his words will never contradict his acts and when he promises the believers paradise we feel comfortable but we are dealing with a god that doesn't change his word we feel very comfortable we feel secure we feel safe we deal with a god that when he promises something he fulfills it because the opposite of this is nifak is munafik the prophet as-salam told us about the munafik what is the opposite of iman is kufr and nifak disbelief and hypocrisy the hypocrite may promise something but never fulfill the promise may say something but may lie you can never trust him Allah confirms the truth about himself he confirms the truth about his messengers he confirms the truth about his acts we feel safe and secure why? because his words and his acts are united and unified and he also confirms the truth to his believers, to his servants by giving them iman by giving us iman Allah is al mu'min in the first sense he is also al mu'min in the second sense because he is the provider of safety and security if Allah creates in our heart safety and security we will never fear anything and when we deal with a god like that we feel very safe we feel very comfortable because everything we see around us is a manifestation of that whether you are a farmer whether you are a businessman whether you are a doctor whether you are a teacher whether you are anything if I am a farmer and I plant tomatoes I feel safe because at the end of the season I am going to harvest tomato I am not going to harvest green beans this thing will not change I feel safe he put sunan in this country he put laws in this country in this universe there are laws natural things that are under his control if I am a doctor I feel safe when I operate on a person his house is always on the left human beings do not change I feel safe anything that happens I feel safe if I wake up in the morning and my teeth are hurting me I feel safe why? because this is an alarm signal telling me something is wrong go to the doctor check yourself I feel safe imagine if there is no safety measures and you wake up one day and all your teeth are falling because you didn't get the alarm signal Allah SWT is al-Mu'min in the first sense he is al-Mu'min he is the provider of safety and security he is also al-Mu'min in the sense that he commits and affirms the truth about himself about his prophets about his servants about his promise about everything so there are no surprises when we read the Quran we feel safe there will be no surprises we know that if we conduct our life in accordance with what Allah SWT has given us as guidelines we feel safe we feel comfortable so how does this apply to us? it also applies to us in two senses in the first sense it applies to us that we believe in Allah SWT we confirm the truth we affirm the truth and we also affirm the truth in our words in our actions in our hearts we are not schizophrenic we say something and we do something else that's not iman iman is that your words and your actions are in tandem they are synchronized they confirm one another your heart confirms what you say what you say confirms what is in your heart you are mu'ahid and mu'ahad you declare the unity of Allah SWT and you yourself are unified your actions are unified with your words your actions are unified with your heart there is no contradiction between the three and as does we deserve this name al-mu'min if we behave in this way we're also al-mu'min in the second sense if we become a source of safety and security on to others the Prophet SAW says he made an oath that by Allah a person who has this quality that is going to mention has not achieved full belief has not achieved full iman the companions around him said he says anyone whose neighbor does not feel safe from him has not achieved full iman because one of the implications of being mu'min is that people feel safe when they deal with you when I take my car to the shop to the mechanic I feel safe if he's a Muslim if he's a mu'min because why? because he's a source of safety on to me I'm a source of safety on to him when we deal with one another we should feel safe and secure I mean what harms businesses and marriage and other things and when people stop trusting one another if your partner in business you don't feel secure when you deal with him or her and they don't feel secure when they deal with you it's a recipe for disaster being a source of safety and trust and security is essential it's part of our DNA as mu'mins we ought to be mu'min in this sense providing safety and security on to others we ought to be mu'min in the first sense that we affirm the truth about Allah and about the messengers about the Quran about everything and we ourselves are united and unified our words confirm our actions in agreement with the truth that was revealed to us and the ulema have told us one thing also it would also be wonderful if you can be a source of safety and security on to others not only in this world but also in the next how can I be a source of safety and security on to others in the next world by leading them to that with which they're going to be feel secure and safe on the day of judgment so if I have a family I make sure that I teach them well I take care of them and I have neighbors around me or people around me I am a source of safety and security on to others and if they happen to accept Islam through me or through someone that they know they will feel safe and secure on the day of judgment and that's what matters the most is that we feel safe and secure on the day of judgment there are many things to say about this name and about how it applies to us but we are we should be very proud and that Allah SWT has chosen a name for himself and he allowed us to use that name for ourselves provided we fulfill what this names mean I say this word and I use it Allah SWT


Here comes Nick Folt and now he's going for his 13th all-time game-winning kick from 41 yards. Ryan Snowden has the hole and the kick. Yes! Yes! You said a key all week and get the drive stop. Sometimes it was sooner, sometimes it was later, but you got to stop. Hell of a job leadership. Hell of a job. We can bring these young guys along, bring these new guys along. Okay, and we're gonna get it hot. Im Studio and the Mike Grable Show presented by Seat Geek with the head coach. I'm Mike Keith. Titans even the record at 1-1 with a 27-24 overtime victory over the Chargers. Exciting football game. Both teams made a lot of good plays, but you guys just kept punching and in the end, able to win it in OT. Yeah, there was never any mistakes that really hurt us.  I mean, it's a really good offense. A football team. I thought our offense really came alive when it had to. I mean, there were some times where we had some three outs. I thought our kicking game, you know, did just enough.  We caught every punt no more critical than the last one there that got us the first-first down. I mean, you know, J.K. Scott wasn't giving up many returns and we got a big one there. And then we were able to have a couple huge plays just enough there to get in there. Nick Folk was able to give us his 13th career game winner. All right. Let's take a look at the plays of the game. We call it the Mike Vrable Six Pack. It is presented by Seat Geek. And let's look at the longest catch of Traylon Burke's career to this point. This got it jump-started.  And we're able to climb the pocket and Traylon's able to run past Samuel. And, you know, really, we were on life support here. And this one got us going. But we need these X plays. It's hard to drive the football 12 and 13 plays in this league. And so, you know, Ryan and the protection and everybody held up and Berksy ran by him and was able to run underneath the catch. So many of these is possible. Well, when you have been successful offensively in 19-20-21 in particular, those shot plays off play action have been so effective. And it's really been a bread and butter part of your success offensively. Well, as those guys start to creep down and creep down, you know, we're going to have to run by them and give our guys a chance to go make a play. If you know about the option, if you remember the old option play, this one was run to perfection. Not many guys could do it like Ryan Tannehill did it in the third quarter. The old veer.  And Ryan gave it a little flip and got him going.   But in the end, that's one of the toughest players on our football team is Ryan. And he'll do whatever he has to to get it in the end zone for us. And Derek is still in pitch position, too, that if Ryan decided to flip it to him at the five, he's still in a position he could do that. Yeah, you know, I mean, that's the runner's responsibility to stay in phase and making sure that they're available to get the football and catch it cleanly. How about another deep shot in the fourth quarter? First career catch with the Titans for Chris Moore, 49 yards. Yeah, you know, he's had a really good, you know, had a good training camp, played a lot of positions for us, played special teams, had a great week of practice, was running all week.  And, you know, you could see him go fight through contact and bring it in. So excited about what Chris can do going forward here to help us. That sets up a touchdown. Titans go up 24-21. But guess what? Right back down the field come the Chargers. They have the ball at the Titans seven yard line, third and short. And here's Harold Land. Well, we were able to execute a game inside and get into the middle of the pocket.  If we can make him pump the ball, the pass rush has to be there. So if you're evaluating what we're doing in the pass rush, if the quarterback pumps and tries to come back and go somewhere else, you know, we have to be there. So that's an example of us being there when the quarterback pumped it and trying to go somewhere else. In overtime, the Titans get a three and out with a big assist from the crowd. Get the ball back and the first play, something you had schemed up well. Well, you know, I really appreciate the communication from J.O. upstairs, Justin out into Tim and saying, hey, we'd held this one. I think now is the right time. And you can see Dre getting out there. We get a seal, get a couple seals, and we get the big lineman out there on the corner. And, you know, it's a quick 14 yards. And, you know, we're going to keep blocking for Tage. Because when we do, we're going to gain some yards. All right. So the Titans move the ball to the 37 yard line of the Chargers. Derek Henry picking up a big third and short. And the next play, setting it up for the field goal. Well, you know, I love the execution here. You know, we're able to get Ryan outside of the pocket. We're able to use the sidelines. You know, Hop does a great job getting to his depth. Protection is there where it needs to be. They're pressuring.  But they're expecting, I think, Eddie Joe, I should say they're expecting Derek Henry to run the football. Yeah, we can give it to Eddie, too. If he shows up, we'll give it to Derek as well. But that was great execution there with Ryan. Something that we practiced all week. Eddie, if you're available, just let us know. Come on out. Yeah, just come out out. Overall, though, this football team finds a way to do it. Offense, defense, special teams getting ready to go back to work tomorrow. We think there'll be more pep in their step. Yeah, I hope so.   And we're figuring out, you know, it's going to be a whole new challenge and going on the road. But, you know, we executed a lot more keys this past week than we did in New Orleans. Coming up on the Mike Vrable Show presented by Seat Geek, it's time to head to the illustrator with the head coach. Some film study next on the Mike Vrable Show. Stay tuned. Welcome back to the Bet MGM Studio, the Mike Vrable Show presented by Seat Geek. Time for a little film study. And one of the real keys for the Titans in the win over the Chargers, getting them off the field on third down. They did it with some pressure. And on this particular play, it's time for Jeffrey Simmons to help get them off the field on third down. So, as you mentioned, Mike, we talked about getting the drive stop. That was something that we talked to our defense about, whether that was third down, fourth down, or ultimately if they were able to enter into the red zone. So it felt like the guys really embraced that and said, okay, we're going to start on third down. We're great on fourth down, but we were able to, when we needed it, have some stops in the red zone. This is an example of some of the stuff that we did on third down. Starting out here, you're going to see we got six guys at the Liars Krimmage. We've got our defensive linemen. We've got some of our coverage guys, our linebackers, our safeties up in there. Looking at these guys having five offensive linemen to block and then usually inserting the running backs somewhere in there. Now, we'll do a lot of different things out of this. We'll be able to rush six, we'll be seven. Sometimes we'll bring three. So we're always just trying to change up who we're bringing and giving a quarterback and especially these offensive linemen different looks and forcing the back to scan. A play man out of this can play some zone. As we work our way through here, you're going to see... There you go. Okay, as we work our way through here, guys doing a nice job, everybody selling it. You don't know who's coming. Ultimately, you can see the linemen's heads are turning and there's some indecision. The speed there by Jeffrey getting off the football, getting here. And then most importantly is the coverage. Mary's with the pass rush. So there's us in this particular case in a zone. We could take it back. We can look at the quarterback when he's ready to throw the football. You can see here he's looking down here. Guys are matched up here when he progresses through to the backside. Elijah's where he needs to be and then we'll roll it again and you'll see Jeffrey from the backside here. You'll see the pass rush where we talk about working your hands. So if you're the quarterback or you're the running back, you can see he's scanning different places. The offensive linemen are having to key the ball on the road. They're looking at protection. Their point in 24 is the mic. So the back's looking. But here you can see Jeffrey talk about working hands, swiping, reducing surface area, and the next time this ball is going to come out. We're going to get this football out. The next time, Arden does a good job selling it with speed so the tackle can't help, that's how you beat a three man side right there with what we would call a TE game. Up the field and then the end. I love watching that. That's good stuff. Thank you for doing that. Yeah. Shoot, third down, stop. We know what our expectations are on third down, 214. We got to get this fourth down figured out. So we'll go back and we'll emphasize it and understand that maybe we're seeing some different plays and we'll get a great short yard stop and then they convert it on fourth to one. But longer yardage means more pressure and more opportunities to affect the quarterback. When we come back, it's the epic western spotlight. Nick Folk gets a quiz. Stay with us on the Mike Vrable Show presented by Seat. Welcome back to the Mike Vrable Show presented by Seat Geek. Nick Folk had the game-winning field goal last Sunday and the Titans have certainly enjoyed having the veteran kicker as part of the roster already. He's seven for seven. When the Titans traded with New England for him and we started doing research on Nick Folk, we looked at him in the 2007 NFL Draft and found that that draft was quite an interesting one for a lot of reasons. So we wondered, what does Nick Folk know about his own draft from 2007? In our epic western spotlight, we quiz the kicker, Nick Folk. Nick Folk drafted in 2007. Do you remember what pick you were in the 2007 draft? One of two. 172 or 176. I don't remember. 178. Okay, so are you ready for the first question? All right. Who was the first overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft? Jim Marcus Russell played LSU in 06. Arizona went to LSU when we had to play them and they were stacked. They had maybe five first-round picks that year from LSU. So this is an Arizona-related question. Number two, who was your former Arizona teammate selected 50th overall in the 2007 draft by the Tennessee Titans? Chris Henry, running back. Very good. You know what he was most famous for here? Do you remember the Daryl Reed hit in the Colts game on the kickoff return? Yeah, I think I remember vaguely and he fumbled and he... Oh, he held on. He held on to it, okay. But I remember that, yeah. Our final question. Name the three players from the 2007 NFL Draft who have already been enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. I'm gonna go in order of the way they were drafted because I remember this. Megatron? Megatron, Calvin Johnson. Joe Thomas. Joe Thomas. Darrell Rivas. Darrell Rivas. Pretty amazing when you consider it hasn't been that long ago and three guys are already in camp. It's wild to think about it. I played with Darrell in New York and us to kind of think about he had obviously a really great career and where we are now, I'm still playing and some of these guys are in the Hall of Fame. And there's a five-year buffer for the Hall of Fame and so it's impressive to have played with some guys who you were drafted with in the same class and they're already in the Hall of Fame. Nick Folk. Pretty good job on the quiz for your draft to your 2007. Thank you. I appreciate that. Good stuff from Nick Folk. Mike Vrable. That's some good knowledge from the kicker. You were picked in 1997. Do you remember what number you were? What number selection you were? I was 91. You were 91? I was a compensatory pick. You were? Back when you couldn't trade on. Look, I've got some questions for you. I love a game show. Who was the first pick in the 1997 NFL draft? That was the pride of the Sandusky Blue Streaks Orlando Pace. That is correct. The Tennessee Oilers selected a Big 10 wide receiver. Seven picks after you at number 98. Can you name it? Great career. D Mason. Derek Mason, right? Leading receiver in Titans history. Derek Mason. Five members of your draft class or in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Can you name them? Probably not. Orlando Pace. One. Ready? Yep. Walter Jones. Yep. Tony Gonzalez. Yep. From your third round. Rhondie Barber and Jason Taylor. Jason Taylor. Yep. And Barber. Well, you did pretty well. Not as well as Nick Folt. No. That was pretty good. That was a big kicker. I had more time on my hands. Did you know a kicker went one pick in front of you? Brett Conway. Wow. Wow. Yeah. If you think these questions are good, we've got a 12 year old who has a great question for Mike Vrable when we come back next. Stay with us. The Mike Vrable Show presented by CP. The Mike Vrable Show continues from the Bet MGM Studio. This program presented by Seat Geek. It's time for kids ask coach Vrable. Last week you loved Emmett's question. I thought that's what we were doing right here. It's actually somebody, another kid. Oh, okay. Oh, okay. Fine. A little bitter about the quiz, huh? Maybe. Kicker thing got to you a little bit there. Yeah. Kicker thing. Kicker went 90. A little testy. Okay. And Parker has the question as kids ask coach Vrable. What's here, Parker? Hi, coach Vrable. My name is Parker. 12 years old from Thompson Station. What is it like being at the draft? And what is it like drafting all those players? Thank you. You've done both? You've been drafted? Yeah. Never been to the draft. But I think a big misconception by fans is that we actually don't go to the draft. Right? We're just done here from St. Thomas Sports Park. There are representatives or there used to be representatives that would go. They would sit at the table. They would pick up the phone. The helmet phones. The helmet phones. And it was always a lot of excitement. But we're not actually, you know, the coaches and the personnel department, they're not actually at the draft. Now, we were close when it was here, but everything is done from there. It is, it's great to add good young players to our roster. I think that's the exciting part. Coaches put a lot of time into it. Obviously the, you know, ran his staff, put a ton of time into it. The post draft. I mean, we've added roster players, a lot of young players to our roster this year that are coming out of college. So it's always exciting to get to know them and then continue to add them to your team and get to know them at a greater level. The Draft Night Wave was a social media phenomenon. Do you expect to continue doing that? I mean, it's just like the camera's just right there.  So you did that in place of like everybody hugging each other. Yeah, I mean, it's just kind of a new twist. Not a big hugger at that point in time, you know. It was great. Hey, what's happening? Well, that's good stuff. Hey, nice job, Parker. Great question. Emin and Parker have gotten us off to a good start in this. And Mike's not doing bad either. The Nissan Keys to Success up next on the Mike Frapple Show from the BedMGM studio presented by SeatGeek. Stay tuned. Time for the Nissan Keys to Success. Titan's going to play at Cleveland this Sunday. Cleveland also won and won after falling to Pittsburgh last night, 26 to 22. Key number one, create field position on special teams. Yeah. Well, coming into this game after two games, Cleveland starting their drives at the 34-yard line and their opponents are starting at 25. So that's a significant number. When you look at it over the course of a football game, we have to be able to continue to cover punts and maybe continue to do it a little bit better. And if we have to cover kickoffs, do that. And we need to find a return. You know what I mean? If they give us a chance to return one kickoff return, we've got to nail it. And then hopefully we can make them punt and we can get a 20-yard return that maybe could set up some field position. Nissan key number two, don't let their defensive line wreck the game. They got great players. And you know, Schwartz, he's got them coming and they're penetrating and they're attacking. It's a fast defense, but up front, you know, we've got to make sure that we're getting into these guys and that they're not, you know, that we're not loose in our combinations and that they're not in the backfield before we can get the ball handed off or progress through in a past concept, whatever it may be.  So it's going to be critical for us to be able to stand up and block these guys up front. Final Nissan key, create turnovers on defense. It's hard to win a football game and not create a turnover. It just puts pressure on you to get off the field on third down or do what we did last week, be, you know, two or five in a red zone and hold them to two or five. But we're going to have some chances, I think. Deshaun is a dynamic player. But he also is going to hold the football. He's also going to try to scramble and create plays off the spot. And those are opportunities to get the football and we're going to have to take advantage of it. And you've been close. You've had some opportunities. It'll happen. I certainly hope so. Yeah, no doubt about it. All right, Titans and the Browns coming up this Sunday at Cleveland Brown Stadium. Kickoff is set for 1202. Titans Radio hits the air with the award-winning Titans Countdown at 11 a.m. Central on 104.5 the zone and other Titans radio stations throughout the region. Titans and the Browns this Sunday. Hard to believe that it is already week three of the NFL season. So for Mike Vrable, I'm Mike Keith. Thanks for joining us. We'll see you next time. Thanks, Mike.


First of all, I would like to introduce myself, Mamadu Nadia. I was the former UNFCCC Focal Point of Bukina Faso, and now I'm working in the prime ministry, dealing with issues related to the Green Climate Fund. Yes, I was the first UNFCCC Focal Point of Bukina Faso and I started my first negotiations in 1991. I was the focal point and I have to defend the interests of my country. And during my first session of the negotiations, really it was very difficult as a French-speaking country. And really my first session was very bad because I was not efficient, I was not able to defend the interests of my country because of the language. Yes, at that time, in the plenary, in the informal sessions, we had opportunity to have simultaneous interpretation. But when you start negotiating without any background, without any advice, without our quality, any skills on how the UN procedures are really is very difficult because rapidly you can create a diplomatic incident. So that's why during my first sessions, I don't say that I kept quiet, I had the courage to express myself, even in French or with my bad English, but I know that some developed countries like Canada, Switzerland helped me at that period to explain, in explaining to others what I would like to express. Really it was very difficult, but what we did with others, mainly our neighbouring Francophone countries like Mali, Niger, Mauritania and Senegal was to organise ourselves in order to be represented in all thematic issues. Then at the end of the day, we spent one hour or two hours in taking stock of what we have discussed or negotiated so far. It was very difficult until 2000 where we did realise that our interests are not on board. When we listened to those developed countries talking about emissions and so on and so forth, we said we as poor countries, we as LDCs, we cannot sit aside. So we started now to put in place the LDC group. Now we are senior negotiators and we are trying to help the genius with the experience we had and with ECBI and IED for the last two years working with them in order to bring my expertise to the senior negotiators. I feel very good to bring my experience to the young fellow. It's very important because we didn't benefit like them. They have everything in their hands. They have been lucky compared to us but the responsibility personally I have is to share with them what I know in order to prepare those who would replace us two, three years ahead of us. So I think it's very important because our people are still vulnerable to climate change. We are poor countries and we still need some strong young fellow to continue the fight we have started.


I think you've had attention number 49 She's the only one that'll find that way The Navy designed the F-14 for fleet tasks and we think it does that job magnificently The F-14 has been operating off of the USS Enterprise in the Pacific Fleet and that this is its fleet introduction and that our experience has been that the aircraft's performance has exceeded expectations now in a fleet air defense role and that means shooting down enemy aircraft that threaten our ships at sea we consider that the F-14 is about three times as good as the current F-4 the F-14 first and foremost is an honest airframe it's a product of the Grumman iron works it flies and handles controls simply easily nicely it comes aboard at speeds approaching the a6 and the 120 knot area the airplane has the computer control swing wing concept which gives it a great advantage as far as being a good dogfighter is concerned the F-14 has the long range phoenix missile which gives us approximately twice the range of any other missile that we know in existence today as well as carrying the phoenix we do carry the sparrow and the sidewinder and the M-61 Vulcan cannon for the closer in dogfight arena in summary the F-14 is an extremely capable and flexible weapon system that does in fact permit the navy to operate any place any time this is USS Spruant vd-963 which is the first of 30 destroyers of the class which are under construction the ship is designed to provide any submarine warfare protection and any surface ship protection to the fast carrier task force and to amphibious forces and of course all other convoys that we would have it see the ship is equipped with a large helicopter facility she will have an as rock launcher she carries mark 32 torpedo tubes and the sqs 53 sonar which is bow mounted and which is the most capable sonar we have in the fleet today an interesting thing about the design of this ship is careful attention has been given to its capability for future modernization or conversion that five inch gun forward can be replaced with an eight inch gun in the same way the as rock launcher can be replaced with launchers which could fire harpoon or a charter any aircraft missile the ship will be powered by gas turbine it's the first major warship to be so powerful its length is 563 feet overall the beam of 55 feet displacement of about 7800 tons this is just about the same size as the atlanta class cruiser that saw so much service in world war two the habitability of this ship should be the best that we have and have ever had in a destroyer a ship also will have air conditioning and will have lighting and noise suppression features which are superior to that which we've seen in the past the amphibious assault concept is a costly one and a complex one as a result of a study several years back it was considered that there'd be a considerable saving in people and in dollars if we could optimize the characteristics of our assault ship into one modern warship that's what we have here in the lha to give you a good frame of reference lha is equivalent to a world war two attack carrier she's approximately 820 feet long and just under 40 000 tons displacement she'll travel at over 20 knots and therefore will be in the vanguard of any amphibious operation in the future the principal feature of the ship that makes it an attractive ship from the amphibious picture is that she offers operational integrity to the marine landing team and bark lha can take their troops ashore by helicopter if that's more advantageous or by wheel to track vehicles over the beach or by landing craft if that's the chosen method and it can do all three it carries over 1700 troops plus all of the wheeled equipment that goes along with them and all of the miscellaneous cargo necessary to support them for an integrated and an all out initial attack this tactical integrity and operational flexibility given the task force commander is truly a new feature of this new class of ships lha well i'm very much interested i think we're all very much interested in the surface effect ship now idea we've got to we've got to develop a great speed to be able to react anywhere in the world in the shortest possible time i think the later generation of surface effect ship will give us that we'll be able to respond to a major threat anywhere in the world in three or four days even the remote areas and i'm hoping to be the first hundred not secretary we're really pioneering this ses field we had two smaller craft we had one of three times one of 17 tons and they look good so the next step was 110 uh bell arrow space built the one what you see here and arrow jet general at Tacoma built the 108 so these are really our developmental tools to go to the 2000 ton ship these were to prove the feasibility of the concept and we have just completed the contractor testing evaluation program and we are starting the uh in the design and the development of the critical parts of the 2000 ton ship as you know we now have all navy crew for both of these craft and these will be our training classrooms these will be the classrooms for the crews that will man the 2000 ton ships this craft will make it will do about 35 to 40 knots in 8 to 10 foot waves it has done it but this was designed to operate in six foot waves this one achieved a speed uh slightly over 80 knots which uh out in the bay here which is far as i know it's the fastest that this any of these craft have ever done it even what the british have the performance of these craft have exceeded our expectations and they in that respect we have exceeded the contract requirements which is uh kind of unusual in a developmental program this airplane is the e2c it's also called the hawkeye it's an airborne early warning airplane what this airplane really does is is to provide the answer to the problem that has caused consternation to every ship captain and every task force commander since navies came into existence he has to know where the enemy is and what he's doing the e2c hawkeye provides the answers to to his questions on that and what his own forces are doing for example this airplane could be flying over philadelphia and discern just about all of the airliners flying between boston and say norfolk we have uh incidentally and this is certainly an improvement over any previous airplanes a data link digital data links between the airplane and any ships in the task force that might be on the navy tactical data system that why we basically transmit the same picture that the e2c hawkeye has on its radar scope to the radar scope uh aboard the ship in the dome are two antennas an antenna for the radar there's also a i f f antenna the emergency identification friend info the old world war two i f f who's your friend and who's your foe people in my project office are very proud of of this particular airplane because we've done what we said we would do when we said we would do it and within the cost that we said we would do it this is probably one of the most successful acquisition programs in the navy the very character is a follow on to the kennedy an enterprise class as you know she is nuclear powered as two of the largest nuclear reactors in the world to power the ship it is designed to support operate and to maintain the most modern aircraft the navy has the limits represents the major element of power in our conventional warfare forces it's the limits surrounded protected and supported by nuclear frigates is the key element in projecting naval power both at shore and in to ensure control of the sea we'll have a crew of over five thousand officers and men and we have all the support necessary to make this a comfortable capable place to live and work effort was made in building the limits to automate and to replace with those jobs that were suitable for automation and to reduce demanding to the lowest possible level attended with this of course we do have a more complex ship with the reduction in the total numbers of ships in the navy we've got to gain a greater multi-purpose mission capability in each unit therefore i believe that we must emphasize in the u.s navy an offensive capability and that offensive capability for surface combatants would reside in missiles such as harpoon and extended harpoon or a long-range cruise missile that we might see in the future the harpoon missile is an anti-ship weapon system being developed by the naval air systems command this missile is being designed as a versatile common weapon will go on many different launch platforms in the aviation community the weapon will be able to be based from a shore-based p3 squadrons will also be capable of being put aboard carrier-based s3 and a7 aircraft in the surface navy the missile is currently being designed and developed and fired from the de class ships and also it's planned to put aboard the ddg and dlg class also the phm navy will be receiving the harpoon missile as well as the ssn the missile is designed with a range of approximately 60 miles it is a surface skimming missile with an active radar seeker during the design phase of the harpoon weapon system 12 engineering models of the harpoon missile were fired with 10 successfully impacting the target and the present stage we're in the weapon system development phase we're now firing prototype missiles thus far we have fired 11 missiles of which 10 again successfully impacted the target this is a phm one the pegasus the phm is a nato program germany and italy have shared the cost of the design of the lead ships the first two ships will be built for the united states will have 28 more ultimately as part of a production program with which germany and hopefully italy will be involved the german plan is for 10 ships the italians have planned for four ships the crew of the pegasus will be four officers and 17 enlisted men so it's a very small crew a very compact ship perhaps the most important characteristic of the hydrofoil is that it's an extremely stable platform in very rough weather in weather which will cause a destroyer to slow down this ship will be able to operate at at least 40 knots and be much more stable than a much larger ship and therefore its weapons will operate better and will be more effective as a weapon system the ships are powered by a gas turbine which drives a water jet pump in the soil born condition then there are two hull born water jet pumps which are driven by german diesel engines the phm weapon system consists primarily of eight harpoon missiles it also has a 76 millimeter italian gun the 76 millimeter gun is used for both anti surface attack as well as anti air protection for the ship the total displacement is 235 tons but with eight harpoon missiles should be a very effective fighting ship the s3a viking aircraft was seen as a replacement for the s2 tracker which was an old propeller driven aircraft of a 1948 to a 1952 vintage with several other derivatives that were built in the latter years several inherent advantages in the aircraft over the old s2 is its increased range and its increased ability to process a tremendous amount of data that was previously unavailable to a carrier asw aircrew the aircraft's level of sophistication is significantly greater than has been seen in carrier asw before the aircraft does have a dash capability or its speed limited to 450 knots or 0.79 indicated mach number this gives it the ability to transit extremely rapidly to a known contact area the aircraft also has the ability to maneuver extremely well it's designed and optimized to fly as slow as 160 knots or 150 knots in that area in a maneuvering situation and at the same time it has its tremendous dash capability we use just four people and they have several distinct functions although the aircraft is a multi piloted aircraft one of the pilots who functions as a co-pilot is really a nonacoustic sensors operator and a navigator and a communicator the other two crew members are the tactical coordinator who is a naval flight officer and a sensor operator who is an aw the aircraft is designed to be able to be operated off of any of the existing carriers that we have in the inventory today full and sophisticated ssn 690 the uss philadelphia the third of 28 planned los angeles class nuclear attack submarines new extensions of american strength and endurance under the seas when her hull slips into the thames river here in grottin connecticut today the us navy will flex a new muscle she'll carry the most advanced weapons and anti submarine systems ever devised no world war two submarineer in his wildest imagination could possibly have dreamed up such a ship well uh it's the first new class of submarine attack submarine we've built in 10 years the 688 class will give us the most advanced attack submarine in the world this submarine will be a very proven nuclear power plant it will have the most advanced sensors the most advanced computer equipment i'd say the most advanced fire control equipment in the world and it'll give us an edge for a period of time i am convinced that we can have the newest aircraft the most modern ships the most advanced weapons in our inventory but unless we have the personnel who can maintain those systems properly we will never come close to realizing the true potential of the force we have we've got to have a stable force created in professional men and women in the service who are in the navy because that's what they want to do and who are motivated primarily by wish to serve


Good morning, everyone, and welcome. This is Melissa Arma with The Stocks. Wishing I'm here today reviewing Amazon. This is another amazing call I made for an option trade. I mean, I called the 970 strikes expiring tomorrow, last week on Friday for people to buy them. And the day was actually here. And so here it is. It's going to run more than $20 through the strike. And so today, you would look to get out of it, or even tomorrow. Once the stock is over the strike, you could even hold it to the last day of expiration. So what another great call? I mean, I've just seen things all over the place in the stocks. And the market's higher, and this is moving. And I don't know where people in the letter got out of this or anything. But this was a profitable trade earlier this week, even yesterday. But today, it gapped up again. And I don't think I'm surprised. I mean, I knew 975 was realistic. It went through that yesterday and went through 980. And 990 is possible. It's funny because one of my traders emailed me and said, it looks like it's erased to see who can get to 1,000 first, Google or Amazon. Clearly, Amazon is leading the way. And this was another great call that you could still be in. I mean, you could still be in this one, too. This is $21 through the strike that I called. It was the 940s. And Amazon just can go even further. So it'll be really interesting to see where these stocks end up. Again, holiday week, and these stocks are getting bought. They're moving. They're gapping up. They're climbing higher. Another one of my students emailed me and didn't do the trade. It's on the letter, didn't do this, or he killed it, or I don't know what he said. He just was trying to understand what I saw here. Everything that I do is based on the gap. I mean, that is how I make the calls that I make, which a lot of them just are phenomenal and unique. They're calls that no one else would make. I mean, who would call this stock higher here after it's been rallying up every day for the last however many weeks? But I saw it, and I read the gaps. And that's how I trade. So if you do the class with me, you're going to learn how to read charts in an advanced way that will predict the price action. People really don't understand, I think, how to read charts. I've been teaching now for not quite five years, almost five years. And I'm just amazed whenever I talk to people or they ask me questions, how people really just are taught incorrectly how to read charts. Specifically, people don't like to buy stocks unless they pull back. And that's not how I make decisions to buy stocks or even to short stocks and pull backs. Look, this is going. This will hit $9.90 today for sure. I mean, it's so early in the day here, too. $10.15. So $9.90 is a realistic target for Amazon today. Where it goes after that, look at this, the cues are finally over $140. Spy's target, really, $245 is in sight. I don't know when we get there. $242 is the next target. We should get there by the end of the day. Everything looks incredibly strong. And if you have not taken these trades or gone long in the strong stocks or shorted the right things, you're having a difficult time in the last couple of months and really the last, since the beginning of 2017. But my ability to be able to read charts is getting better and better and better. And I had a conversation with a student this morning about it and who didn't do this? And I think the longer that you trade, your skills develop. And my skills are developing more. I mean, I'm trading for over eight years. I'm reading charts for over eight years and I'm trading nothing but gaps. So I am a chart reader and I do it very well. But it's based on my gap reading method. So if you're struggling with your trading and you really want to learn how to predict where something's going to go, you can do my golden gap classes. That's really what's going to teach you how to reprice action. It's not indicators. It's not the moving average. It's not time and blah, blah, blah, blah. It is learning how to read gaps in charts correctly, which I find that many people, even people that teach gaps, do not teach it correctly. But this was another just phenomenal call. So I hope someone's still in this and I hope someone held this. I really, really do. So congratulations to the people on the options letter and really the people in the gap class. Because I think the people that are my students are ready are really going to learn a lot this year. And it's going to strengthen their conviction in the strategy itself to be able to see me making these calls and see how the gaps really can move stocks, whether they're bullish or bearish, that is what makes stocks move. But not every bullish gap can you buy and not every bearish gap can you short. You have to find the good ones. And that's what the 26 points is all about. But you can definitely make a lot of money. I mean, you can make so much money. I mean, both of these flew more than 20 points through the strike. Just huge rates, huge. In fact, let me just look this up here what this is worth right now. This is going to be ridiculous. So again, I called 970s, these are worth a lot. I mean, I love to day trade. I really, I really, really do. But I think you could make a living trading options if you get the right calls, but you wouldn't be doing it every day. Because I don't make these calls every day.  Like last Friday, I called three. Then I called one today. So that's it.  So I think you can make a living trading options and not even doing any day trading at all, but you wouldn't be trading every day. I mean, you could monitor and watch your trades, but you would have to be very picky about what you do, which I am anyways, the day trades. I think the best case scenario is day trading and doing options. I think that's the best case scenario and that is what some people in the room are doing too. But I'm more convinced than ever now that you can make a living just trading options using my Gap method and getting the letter. But you really, really gotta be patient because you may not have a trade every day. And in fact, you won't. And then they may come in waves where you've got three positions on at once. You know? And you have to be okay with that. And they could be in opposite directions. Anyways, this is a biggie. We'll see where it goes. End of today today. Hard to think that you would hold this into the last day, but this is a great exit here. If you get out of this now, 20 points up through the strike and congratulations to everyone that did it. It's just worth a lot today compared to the price of the entry. Thanks everyone and have a fantastic Memorial Day weekend.


Secure cryptography requires both Alice and Bob have a key, so how do they exchange keys? The problem is, if they don't encrypt the key, Eve can intercept it, but if they do encrypt the key, how do they send the key to encrypt the key? So one possibility is the following. Imagine a company has a secret recipe. How can they keep the recipe secret? One way is to have two facilities. Factory A produces a mixture of half the ingredients, and Factory B produces a mixture of half the ingredients. And the factories then swap outputs and add the same halves. The important idea here is that only half the recipe is known at Factory A, and half the recipe is known at Factory B. And so the complete recipe doesn't exist anywhere. Now we can do that in cryptography using what's known as the Diffie-Hellman-Key Exchange Protocol. And this works as follows. First, Alice and Bob agree on a base A and a modulus n. Then Alice takes some random number xA and computes m congruent to A to power xA mod n, sending this to Bob. And Bob does something similar, picking a random exponent xB and computes n congruent to A to xB mod n, sending this to Alice. Now Alice knows her exponent xA, and she just got this number n from Bob, so she computes n to xA mod n. And likewise, Bob knows his own number xB, and just got this value m from Alice, and so Bob computes m to power xB mod n. And what's important here is if everybody did their computations correctly, both Alice and Bob are now in possession of a common value k, which they can use as a key. So let's take a look at an example. Let's use our Diffie-Hellman-Key Exchange Protocol to communicate a key where our public base A is 343, and we'll use modulus n equals 1637. So first, Alice and Bob need to pick their private keys, and so Alice chooses that random exponent, how about 23, and she computes 343 to power 23 mod 1637. And without going into the details, she finds that that's equal to 430, and she sends this number to Bob. Meanwhile, Bob chooses his own exponent, about 97, and computes 343, that's the public base, to his private exponent, 97, and computes mod 1637 and gets 968, which he sends to Alice. Now Alice takes Bob's number, 968, uses her exponent, 23, and computes 968 to power 23, and gets 1579, which is the key. And we'll verify that Bob actually has the same key and he's going to compute the key by taking the number Alice sent him, 430, raising it to his own exponent, 97, and if he does that, he also computes this value 1579. And so now both Alice and Bob have this key, 1579, in their possession, but the key itself was never transmitted and what you don't transmit can't be intercepted. Now we'll pause a moment and see why that works. So remember that Alice got this value a to power xb from Bob and she's raising it to her own exponent, xa, and so what she's actually computing is a to power xb, xa. Meanwhile, Bob got this number a to power xa from Alice and he knows his own exponent, xb, so he can compute Alice's number to power xb, which also gives him a to power xa, xb, and these are the same. And the reason it's secure is because xa never leaves Alice's possession and xb never leaves Bob's possession. And what you don't send out can't be found. So how could Eve find the key? Well, she could find either exponent, either xa, Alice's exponent, or xb, Bob's exponent. But remember these are never communicated, and as long as these are never communicated, she can't obtain them. Instead, she has to find them from the numbers that are sent a to power xb and a to power xa. So for example, Alice knows that Eve sent the number 430 and since she knows the public base is 343, she has to solve 343 to power x congruent to 430. And this leads to something called the discrete logarithm problem, which is the following. Given a and n, we want to solve a to power x congruent to y mod n. Now, the reason we can use this as the basis for a cryptographic system is that the discrete logarithm problem is believed to be a hard problem and so that if the Helman-Key exchange protocol is believed secure. Unfortunately, it only communicates a key. How can we modify it to communicate an actual message? We'll take a look at that next.


Elvis Costelio has defended pop star Olivia Rodrigo after she was accused of lifting one of his guitar riffs, Brutal, a track on Rodrigo's number one album is based around a punk chord sequence that also featured in Costelio's 1978 hit Pump It. But when a Twitter user said Rodrigo's song was pretty much a direct lift, Costelio replied and said that this was fine with him. It is how rock and roll works he continued. Take the broken pieces of another thrill and make a brand new toy, he said. And that's what I did as in him himself. The veteran singer-songwriter also included hashtag referencing Bob Dylan's 1965 classic subterranean homesick blues which inspired Pump It Up. And Chuck Berry's 1956 single Too Much Monkey Business which influenced the Dylan song. Costelio's relaxed reaction comes despite a surge in music copyright cases in recent years.


Hey easy easy hunt.  He's right up above. Oh, I see Yeah, yeah, sure No, no, no, don't try to get him uppercase. I'm never getting and he'll fall down and we won't know where he is Yep, did you see that? He's huge. That's how I seen him. He started Over there in that corner. I just looked up seen a big brown spot Great now I can't see him Don't I'll move them. I'll just move them He's a Where'd he go? Great. We lost him No, I don't see him Great, where'd he go? Probably crawled down the curtain somewhere. You know, I'm thinks can jump right? Long cobwebs up there.  I don't Think he's gone. Yeah, yeah, where the hell where where would he go?   He's there Not funny I got time We got to get something hon. Yeah, but I don't kill him right away until then he can bite The joys of loving in Florida you got cold out this evening so that's why he came in Where's a lot of cobwebs up there? Well here your spram Why I'll hold the camera. No, I'm filming ah You can't do the easy stuff. You have to do the hard stuff Does that sprain us in the stream or don't point it at me There's a sprain of stream Yeah, I think so think so go get the baby gun. I think I can hit him It's in the garage or a damn spider.  Look no one cobwebs up there.  He's hiding in there. No, he didn't fall He's trying to he's trying to dry off From a distance just in case he you know wants to chase you No, how the hell did he get clear over there?  No, he's gone behind. You're not much of a help, huh What do you think I like where'd he go? Jesus he keeps going behind there. Why'd you take it away? I just meant for you to hold it on top Where'd you go? You need to spray Can you slap them? Fun stuff for 30 in the morning He went that's why I didn't want to swat him till he was on the wall Now you know why Next time we're doing it my way like we have to do everything Well, you should have done it your way. You should have said no not yet I told you that you said we'll get him


In Alhamdulillah, certainly all praise, gratitude belongs to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala and for that reason we praise Him, we thank Him. When we ask for assistance, for what? Assistance in what? In all matters of life. When we ask for forgiveness for all the things that we have done and all the things that are coming up. And from his words, Ya, the believers, be mindful of Allah, have consciousness of Allah, have awareness of Allah, develop this thing to yourself that Allah is a primary thing for you in your life in all your contacts. Haqqatuqatuhidi, what he deserves it, falatamu tunna, under no circumstance, forget what we just said. Don't you dare forget what we just said.  Falatamu tunna illa wa antum muslimoon. We're gonna have a really short topic. I might get, I might get dinged for that because I got dinged for doing really short khutbas. You know, khutbas gotta be meaningful and short. If it's too long and lengthy, you lose the value of it. I often say, am I gonna get in trouble too? If people could do a TED talk in 15 to 13 minutes and incredible speech, you should be able to do that. So let me do this. There's one theme, there's one word in the Quran. Some of you may have heard this from me before. It comes often, it comes often in the Quran and it's quite central to the Quranic message, to everything that we do. And guess what that word is? And that's the entire topic for today, for the next few minutes. The word is ayah. You must have heard that, ayah, or ayat, the plural. It comes a lot in the Quran. It is the central thing. What does this mean? It has been translated as verse. I have a little bit of a logic reaction to that translation. Verse. What does that really mean? Verse. Ayah is rich in meaning. Ayah has so many things embedded in it for you and I to understand. Why would Allah call ayah? There are, Allah says there's ayat or ayah and everything that's surrounding you. When you go out there, you will experience it. That's what Allah wants you to experience that. Allah says when you look at the rock, there's an ayah in it. Look outside. The trees, there's an ayah in it for you. So what does this ayah mean? It cannot mean verse. There's so much. I'm gonna tell you what that means. Allah says there's an ayah within you. Within yourself. Look at yourself. There's ayah. And there's a surah in the Quran where ayah starts with that and there's multiple verses of the Quran. Oh, go read it. It's incredible. It's so beautiful. So what is this ayah? It's not just verse. It's a really shallow translation. What are the meaning is sign? So think about it. When Allah says there's an ayah that means there's a sign for you to contemplate, to think, to ponder, to say, what is this telling me? Another meaning for ayah is direction. It gives you direction. The direction, what is the purpose of direction? To get you to a destination, to a goal. The direction itself is not the goal, but the destination where you want to reach is the goal. One of the other meaning of ayah is value. It has to have something for you to hold on to. It has to be valuable. It has to mean something to you. Another meaning of the ayah is purpose. Purposeful meaning. Something has to have a meaning embedded in it for you to invest time and energy in it for yourself to go after it. So what does that say? All of this, all of these meanings, and there's much, much more, much more. I was, I forgot to say this, my daughter sitting back there, nine years old, kept on asking me, daddy, you have a hotba coming up. Are you prepared? Daddy, did you think about it? What about this? We were studying a part of the Quran and he's like, why didn't you talk about that? It was part of the swith al-kaaf. I'm like, that's awesome. But she inspired me to do this, like ayah. Let's talk about this one. I'm like, okay, so let me say a few words that I know about this. Now everything that we say ayah has, it takes you to some place, to one place. What has that done place? And we did a ton of that a month ago on the month of Ramadan. It gives you a direction towards your Lord. Gives direction towards Allah. It allows you to build a connection with Him. That is the purpose of the ayah. For you, the job is for you to go dig it, discover it, understand it, contemplate and look at it. The purpose of that is to get guidance. One of the biggest ayah, Allah says ayat is a revelation. What is the purpose of a revelation? To find a way to make connection, to find a way to speak to Allah, to find a way to talk to Him, to find a way to yearn for Him. Another meaning of the ayah is something that has to put you at awe, at just like exceptional state of mind. That's what Allah tells you.  Well, Allah says there's ayah everywhere. Allah says there's an ayah for you in the story of Yusuf A.S. and his brothers. What is your job? Your job and my job is to go and understand that and dig deeper and say, what is the ayah here? What is the sign for me? What is it that I can take away from this? What is the value for me here? How do I understand something from that that I could implement in my life? Allah says there's an ayah in history. Allah's telling you, here's my best part, my best part of how to implement Quran in your life. Don't get me in trouble, but here's what Allah says. Allah says take a vacation. He's like, what? Yeah, Allah says take a vacation. Go travel, Allah says in the Quran, see the earth, go travel across the land. For what purpose? So he could see the ayah of Allah and learn something from history. Allah tells you there's ayah in the history for you.  Well, for you, it behooves us to study what that means. What can we get out of that? Multiple areas. It's not just the verse.  What is a destination? A destination is to reach to Allah, to get his contentment, to be in a state that he is, radiAllahu anhu maradu anhu, that he is satisfied with you, he's happy with you and you're happy with him. To the point that you will get that Allah tells you in the Quran in the last chapter that we read a lot, it says Allah tells you to enter to my jannah. That's the goal, that's the destination. So what is an ayah? Here's the definition I wrote. Ayah is a sign that gives direction and it has a meaningful and delivers value. That's what ayah is. We went through this incredible month of Marathon and we need to hold on to something. As I've spoken here before after Ramadan ended, when we went through all those activities, we can't carry all of those. We have to hold on to something to sustain it. At the end of the day, the name of the game is to sustain, sustainment. What can you hold on to and carry that forward with your life until the next Ramadan?  I don't know if I'm gonna do this quickly. I don't know if I alluded to a concept that I heard from one of our sheikhs. It was the concept of trampoline as opposed to ladder. You know what trampoline is?   There's no gain. But the concept of ladder, you climb and you climb and you climb. You get to a level and you get off that level and you climb again and you get off that level. You could don't come down. So he was explaining really beautifully, saying when you're in the month of Ramadan, you need to gain. You have to have a gain of what you're doing from where you are today, from the status quo a little higher. That's the concept you are there. You gain, you sustain that and you move forward. And that's what Allah says, have progress, progression. I'll say a few words. I'm going to say a few words. Inna alhamdulillah wassalaatu wassalaamah ala Rasulillah, sallallahu alaihi wassalaam. Allah also says in his book, ba'ala audha billahi min ash-shaytanu rajim, Inna allahu wa malaiqatahu yusalloon alal nabi, ya ayyuhal ladina amanu, sallu alaihi wa sallimu taslima. Allahumma salli ala Muhammadin wa ala ala Muhammad. Kama sallayta ala Ibraheem wa ala ala Ibraheem, innaka hameed al-Majeed. Allahumma ba'arika ala Muhammadin wa ala ala Muhammad. Kama ba'araka ala Ibraheem wa ala ala Ibraheem, innaka hameed al-Majeed. Rabbana la tu'akhizna inna sinna wa wakta'na. Rabbana wa la tahmal alayna israan, kama hamal tahu alal ladina min qablina. Rabbana wa la tahmal ala ma la tahaqata lana bih, wa'afu anna wa'afil lana, wa'urhamna anta maulana, fanzorna alana qawmil kafirin amin. And lastly, speaking of the progress and progression, Allah says the following thing in the Quran. And that's how we will conclude, insha'Allah. Allah says these are the three things you must do and the three things you must avoid. So pay attention again. Three things you must do and three things you must avoid. What are those three things? Inna'Allah.
