And welcome to Stan the Energy Man, Stan Osterman here from Iger Shark Energy Consulting, Hawaii. Me too. My new company. Anyway, I must not be doing good. I haven't been paid for anything yet. So that's okay. I mean, they just want to keep hydrogen going. So today's show is a little bit different. I wanted to sit back and answer a question that has been gnawing at a lot of people for a long time. And that is, when is hydrogen really going to make it to the mainstream? And I've got good news for you. Hydrogen is making it to the mainstream. I see it happening. It's happening pretty quietly, but it's happening around the world. And I just kind of wanted to bring everybody up to speed on that so people know what I know about where hydrogen is right now and why I'm so bullish on hydrogen and hydrogen energy storage and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen energy storage on the grid and hydrogen with renewables. Anyway, a lot's been going on. When I first started doing hydrogen, man, over 10 or 12 years ago, the first time I saw a hydrogen demonstration was at a conference in Nevada. And it was at a military conference. And there were two guys with a small laptop computer and a box. It was like three feet by three feet by three feet. And the computer was plugged into the box. So I asked them, oh, is that like a battery pack? And they said, no, it's hydrogen. It's a hydrogen fuel cell. And you can take it and drop it anywhere. And this box will keep on giving you electricity for about a week. And it was quiet, didn't make any noise. I thought it was really impressive. It kind of got my attention. My next run in with hydrogen happened when I started working up at the headquarters of Hawaii Air National Guard. I became the commander up there. And I was getting briefed by some folks from a place called HCAT. They were federally funded with Air Force funding to do demonstrations of alternative fuel vehicles out at Hickam. And they were briefing me because some of the vehicles were being driven by Hawaii Air National Guardsmen at Hickam that were under my command. And so I learned from them that there was a lot of Air Force hydrogen R&D being done in Hawaii. Well, a few years later, I ended up retiring. And the folks that were running HCAT were looking for a director. And it just so happened that because of my hydrogen experience, my energy experience with the lingual administration, and some things that I'd learned on my own and working with congressional delegation in the state legislature, I was suited for it. I wasn't looking for a job, but when I heard that they lost their funding and that they were having a hard time filling the management position, the director, I agreed to do it starting part-time and then going full-time. And so I did. And I got really heavily into hydrogen then. And one of the first things that I was hit in the face with was, hey, hydrogen, H2, the fuel of the future, and it always will be. In other words, people were always enamored with hydrogen as a replacement fuel for vehicles or energy storage for the grid. But it never, ever seemed to catch on, which is kind of ironic because here in Hawaii, we had a congressional member back in the 60s and 70s, Spark Matsunaga, who introduced Hawaii to hydrogen and had a vision for Hawaii getting off of fossil fuels mostly for economic reasons and going into hydrogen. And he was kind of ushering it in. And in fact, the Bush administration, I think Bush 1 and Bush 2, both started pushing hydrogen at the national level. In fact, Arnold Schwarzenegger, who was the governor of California, he established the hydrogen highway in California. And here in Hawaii in 2006, the legislature actually passed a law. This is in current law in the state of Hawaii. Hawaii Revised Statute 196-10. 196-10 establishes the Hawaii hydrogen infrastructure and the Hawaii hydrogen economy. And everybody thought, well, good, we're tracking the right way and we're on a good pace because the technology is ancient. The technology's been around since before the Civil War. In fact, people understood hydrogen back in the days of Greece and Rome. So it finally looked like hydrogen was taking off around 2006-2008. But when President Obama came in, he picked a really sharp guy to be the head of the Department of Energy. The same was Dr. Chu. Dr. Chu, for whatever reason, just didn't seem to like hydrogen. He felt that it was still kind of off in the future. Didn't want to put a whole lot of effort into it. He was more into the battery track. And so he cut a lot of the funding for Department of Energy hydrogen and hydrogen just kind of languished on the federal side for eight years. So from 2008 till, well, the 2015 and 16, there wasn't a whole lot of money being put into hydrogen by the federal government. But the state of California, I don't know, Schwarzenegger, even when he was out of office, they kept on going and they started building stations and they started doing carbon taxes in a system that we call the Zev state, zero-emission vehicle state. So a group of states got together and they started doing carbon taxes on car companies that brought in high-end gas-guzzler vehicles and if they brought in really good fuel-efficient vehicles, they got a credit. So some of the companies to bring in their fuel-efficient vehicles and get credit so they could bring in their big gas-guzzler vehicles that made them a lot of money. So a lot of those states, as Zev states, started doing a good cap and trade to boost the money that the state could put into the hydrogen vehicles and California never stopped. Everybody else in the whole US, including Hawaii, pretty much stopped. Even here at the University of Hawaii, there's Dr. Rick Rochela, who was the guy that was pointed out to me when I first started working at HGAT as the hydrogen guy in the state of Hawaii. He just said hydrogen doesn't pencil out, Stan, it's great stuff. It just doesn't pencil out.  He calls hydrogen fuel cells instead of fuel cells, fuel cells. So there's just a lot of stuff from 2008 up to a few years ago where hydrogen was kind of dead on arrival because things weren't happening. But things are happening now. And I know they're happening. And so what I did was I developed for today's show the 10 reasons that I know that tell me hydrogen is finally really, really here. And the first reason is that there's companies out there around the world that have invested almost two decades doing the research in the vehicles and the money. They've spent hundreds of millions of dollars and have dozens and dozens of patents on hydrogen technology in their cars. Toyota being one, Hyundai being another, and Honda being the third. The Toyota Mirai is in production. And here in Hawaii, CERFCO Hawaii and Toyota got together, brought some vehicles over and CERFCO completed what we call the chicken and the egg because nobody will build the stations unless the cars are there and nobody will bring the cars unless the stations are there. Well, Toyota brought the cars and CERFCO, who was a big distributor of Toyota products here in Oahu, they brought the station. They spent millions of dollars putting in the very first commercial station here in Hawaii to get things going. But people are still, to my surprise, are surprised that Hyundai has two, not one, but two production hydrogen vehicles and Honda has the clarity of production hydrogen vehicle. Mercedes has production hydrogen vehicle. BMW, Ford, GM have all put prototypes together in hydrogen vehicles and they plan to put out hydrogen vehicles in the next three or four years. They're not in production yet, but they're pre-production. That means they're tooling up and they're already committed to it. They just haven't brought them out yet. The reason number one that I'm bullish on hydrogen making it out right now is follow the money. When you have big companies like Toyota and Hyundai and Honda that are very savvy with marketing and making good long-term investments, remember Toyota made the Prius. Everybody thought it was going to be a dud and the Prius is the premier hybrid technology out there for battery electric and for hybrid generation electric drive vehicles. They're not silly. When they make those kind of investments, it sends a huge signal. The number two reason I know that we're really headed towards hydrogen for the current dance, not just down the road, is a company called Nicola Motors. Nicola Motors is a truck company and it just so happens that when you put hydrogen technology with large-scale 18-wheeler trucks, you really hit the sweet spot of where hydrogen makes a huge difference. Because in any kind of transportation, weight is everything. And on a big truck, if you had battery-powered trucks that could go a thousand miles, you'd be hauling so many batteries, you'd have to not haul cargo. And who's going to not haul cargo if your business is hauling cargo? The Nicola Motors not only made a truck that ran off hydrogen, they made a truck that literally is built for purpose to do long-haul trucking, 24-7. It's almost a pony-express-style truck and they don't sell them. They lease the trucks and they don't lease the trucks just by themselves. They lease the trucks with the fuel and they're building the infrastructure across the U.S. The trucks can go a thousand miles or more on one fill-up of hydrogen. The driver sits right in the middle of the cab in the front and so there's no two seats. It's one seat in the middle and it's like an airplane cockpit. Behind them is a sleeper and a refrigerator and a microwave and you can literally camp out in the thing. And his idea is to lease these vehicles and let people, pony-express them across the country in a system. And that system is actually cheaper than driving a diesel truck. In today's basically model economy that they have that makes the most money for diesel truck drivers. The cabin is comfortable. It's got cameras all around the vehicle so you can see all the way around no blind spots. And that's just one company. Another company that I've had the CEO on our show several times, Millennium Rain, they're doing the same thing. They're building a network across the United States and they're even here in Hawaii trying to build a network here in the state of Hawaii that gets hydrogen highways going across the whole U.S. and they're doing it with their own funding. They're not waiting for the government to come in.  You don't need permits. You just need a 50 amp 220 circuit and water and you're making hydrogen for 4 to 10 cars a day. And then you can scale it up. And their equipment on those small sizes is just over $100,000 and their bigger ones get up around a half a million dollars. But that's number two, reason number two. Some really innovative companies here in the U.S. that are doing incredible transportation stuff. Reason number three that I know that we're getting there with hydrogen is the military. A few years ago, I was invited to speak at a military conference here in Paycom and I talked about what we were doing for the Air Force here at Hickam and what it meant to have hydrogen fuel cell vehicles and hydrogen equipment in the military. And some of it must have stuck because the Army latched onto it right away. The Navy really loved the vehicles we already had out here that were driving. They were the ones that kept the fuel cell vehicles running out here. The VIPs that drove around in them, they loved them so much they didn't want to get rid of them. The Marines are right there with the Army. There's so much that we can do and of course we were working with the Air Force. But here's some things that we really, that were really a surprise. Number one, the Navy, they already have electrolyzers in their submarines to make oxygen. They're throwing away the hydrogen, but when you have to certify a piece of equipment to get it on a Navy submarine, especially a nuclear submarine, it has to go through an ungodly amount of testing before they'll let that equipment go on a ship because of the safety that they, the threshold of safety that they require. The Navy has electrolyzers on their ships to make oxygen. So it's great, it's already there. But when I first started at HCAT, our prime contractor, a Basquilar's from US Hybrid, I asked them, what is the military, what do they care about your equipment? Why do they want to buy it? He said, oh, because it's clean and green. I said, the military doesn't care about clean and green. They'll do it if they have to, if they're forced to. That's not why they buy equipment. What is it, why should they spend all this money on your equipment? You know, it's expensive. And what do they get for it besides clean and green? And he couldn't answer me. But I put my military hat and I said, a boss, your stuff is silent. It doesn't make noise. It has a very low heat signature. You can't see it with infrared imaging at night. That's huge for the military. It's also lightweight. The equipment is so much lighter than battery stuff. When you have to ship tons of fuel for vehicles or tons of batteries with your equipment, that's stuff that's taken away from shipping food or shipping weapons or shipping ammunition across the seas on ships or in aircraft. The lighter you can make it, the better it is. And that's where fuel cells come in. So we're going to take a quick break here. I'm going to come back with number four and we'll zip through the last six of them. We'll take 60 seconds here and look at some of the other shows here on Take That. Aloha. My name is Becky Sampson and I'm the host of It's About Time. On the Think Tech Hawaii, a digital nonprofit organization that's raising public awareness. Join us on Wednesday at 2 p.m. where we talk about real issues. Some of the topics will include entrepreneurship, health, life skills and growing your business. So once again, this is Becky Sampson on It's About Time. On Wednesday at 2 p.m. on Think Tech Hawaii. Mahalo. Hi, I'm Rusty Komori, host of Beyond the Lines. I was the head coach for the Punahou Boys varsity tennis team for 22 years and we're fortunate to win 22 consecutive state championships. This show is based on my book which is also titled Beyond the Lines and it's about leadership, creating a superior culture of excellence, achieving and sustaining success and finding greatness. If you're a student, parent, sports or business person and want to improve your life and the lives of people around you tune in and join me on Mondays at 11 a.m. as we go Beyond the Lines on Think Tech Hawaii. Aloha. And welcome back to Stand the Energy Man. We're counting down the 10 reasons why I know it's really Hydrogen's prime time and in the year 2020 you're going to see Hydrogen taking off and going. Reason number four is Boeing aircraft. You know, it's a big defense contractor, they're tied to number three, the military but they have already built what we call an ISR platform, basically a high-flying airplane that is meant to stay in the air not just a couple hours but a couple days and they have a plane called Eagle Eye which goes up and can stay three days straight and by three of these airplanes they can cover any one particular spot in the world with persistent surveillance and communications constantly with just three airplanes which is a lot cheaper than a satellite and try to move a classified satellite for the military but that's not where the story ends. They're using Hydrogen for their engines but they're going to start using electric engines run by fuel cells and that three days will go to 10 days. These airplanes will be able to stay up at 60,000 feet for 10 days straight and that's a lot cheaper than satellites and we could put them up there and cover disaster areas or combat zones non-stop without having to put satellites where we need them. Number five, the intermittent renewables that we're all counting on especially here in Hawaii meet our renewable energy goals. The intermittent renewables drive large-scale energy storage. Batteries cannot do it all. They're very important in the mix but they can't do it all. You can't scale batteries up to the gigawatt storage scale or even the hundreds of megawatt storage scale. Even here in Hawaii we have a private consortium, an energy co-op on the island of Kauai and a couple weeks ago they had a couple really cloudy days and their batteries were not holding up. They weren't storing enough energy and they were starting to have brownouts on that island which surprised them because they thought they had plenty of storage but when you are counting completely on renewables especially intermittent renewables which are wind and solar you've got to have massive amounts of energy storage. The fuel that we use now in our electric grid to drive our turbines is very dense energy fuel and if you plan to replace that fuel and the number of days you can exist on that fuel with all renewables that are intermittent, solar and wind you've got to be able to store a lot of energy and that's where hydrogen really comes in strong. The cost of batteries at that scale are $600 a kilowatt hour and the hydrogen equivalent is between $30 and $100 a kilowatt hour. The price is just dramatic and then the hydrogen technology is so much more simple than the battery technology to maintain and take care of. Reason number six, the Hydrogen Council. In 2017, the Department of Energy and a bunch of European players got together and stood up a hydrogen council whose main goal was to scale hydrogen large scale for the industries. Europe has experienced what we call power-to-gas infrastructure where they take natural gas pipelines to move hydrogen all over the continent and the hydrogen is made with curtailed power from North Sea wind turbines. So when they have extra North Sea wind electricity instead of wasting it or just curtailing it they make hydrogen, they put it in gas pipelines they move it all over the continent of Europe and guess what, there's at least two companies I know of. GE is one and there's a Japanese company that doesn't want to be named yet that are making natural gas turbines that make electricity but they're making them so they can run off hydrogen. What this means is you can actually convert to natural gas now which is much cleaner than all your other fossil fuels when you burn it and eventually you can just convert that equipment with very little bit of change to the equipment itself to run off pure hydrogen and that's a real game changer and that's happening right now. Reason number seven, liquid hydrogen production. Not too many people keep up on liquid hydrogen production or know where it comes from but most of the hydrogen that NASA uses is made in Canada and has been shipped for decades down the East Coast and tanker rail cars and trucks from Canada to Cape Canaveral in liquid form. The safety protocols are all there, everything's there but there's only about two liquid hydrogen plants currently in the United States and they both make around 20 tons a day of hydrogen almost all of it goes to NASA for liquid fuel rocket. Just since the end of last year, from the end of 2018 until the summer of this year, 2019 four, count them, four liquid hydrogen production facilities have been designed and are in the process of being built in the United States of America or several in California, at least one in Texas and the size is between 20 and 30 tons a day so they have basically quadrupled the production of hydrogen, liquid hydrogen in the United States and guess where it's all going to go? It's all marked for transportation. There's a whole lot of people investing in liquid hydrogen to move hydrogen around the U.S. for transportation but it's also used in industry to make steel and other things. There's a huge movement on the industrial side for liquid hydrogen. Also helium is becoming very scarce as a natural product that companies need and many of the things that helium is used for hydrogen can also be used for and is much more available. Reason number eight, wrapping it up here look for the next set of Olympic games in Asia. The 2020 summer games are going to feature hydrogen fuel cell buses hydrogen taxi cabs, hydrogen is going to be all over the Olympics in Asia for the summer games, for the winter games which I believe are going to be in Korea and you're just going to see China, South Korea and Japan going absolutely completely full throttle on hydrogen. Look for that on TV as it comes up. The number nine reason that I know hydrogen is here and for real this time, the United States Department of Energy is now funding more hydrogen projects. They're trying to fund projects where you can synthesize hydrogen directly from sunlight instead of making electricity and they usually have electricity to make hydrogen. I just talked to a company on the Big Island that has figured out one of the local fish here that only eats algae and seaweed. The digestive system makes hydrogen and so they're going to study the digestive system of this fish and they're going to try and replicate it so that we can take any kind of algae seaweed that grows in the ocean and boom turn it instantly into hydrogen in a synthetic digester that mimics this fish. The number ten reason why Stan the Energy Man says it's going to happen is I'm going to quote my dad. My dad had this famous quote when I was growing up for me and my sister that he always used when we doubted his wisdom. I may not always be right but I'm never wrong. The number ten, Stan the Energy Man says hydrogen is here and it's happening. I deal with people every day of the week, former head of the PUC, people in big business, people that run big companies making this equipment on the mainland that are just rolling and gearing up companies that are for the first time in decades making a profit doing hydrogen equipment. The military is gearing up in hydrogen. One of the military vehicles that was built recently was a GM from the Army. They took it and they demonstrated it across the United States including here in Hawaii. And one of the things they did was they took that vehicle and at night they saw how close they could get to a building without being detected and they made it through inside a hundred meters without being detected sound or heat. They tried doing that with a Humvee the same night, same building, same people trying to catch them and the Humvee was detected outside of a quarter mile. So the hydrogen technology for the military is just, it's happening, it's what the military wants and they can make it on the spot. If they have solar panels, wind or electricity from a grid locally and water, they don't need to ship fuel. They don't need to have convoys that put people at risk and get killed with IEDs as they just make the fuel where it's at. When you disperse that hydrogen all over the base there's no single target and the equipment that uses the hydrogen to operate at night now doesn't put out much of a thermal image. So people trying to target the base at night they don't know where to look. Everything just kind of looks the same homogenous color. They can't pick any hotspots where they know there's activity going on and same with sound, it's just quiet. So trust me, there's just so much going on in Hawaii, a lot going on in the Big Island. Mitch Ewan has got three buses getting ready to go into service with the Helion Bus Company over in Kona. He has a hydrogen station built over there. HCAT is continuing to work with the Air Force here at Hickam Air Force Base, joint base Pearl Harbor Hickam and they're getting ready to put in a renewable energy grid with Burns and McDonald's doing all the design work and building it and it's going to be a game changer where the Air Force can literally run a base without any kind of outside electric power and keep doing it indefinitely with no fossil fuel, not even diesel generators for backup. They won't even need them and we want to show that. So here we are in 2020, coming up on 2020 and I guarantee you, you're going to start seeing hydrogen pop up in the news.  We'll see hydrogen showing up in the news regularly. We'll be looking forward to that until at least next Tuesday. This is Stan the Energy Man signing off. Have a great Thanksgiving and Aloha from everyone here at Think Tech.


الحديث السادس والعشرون 26 حديث عن أنس بن مالك رضي الله تعالى عنه قال جاء عرابي فبال في طائفة المسجد فزاجره النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فنهاهم النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فلما قضى بوله أمر النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بذنوب من ماء فأهريق عليه this حديث امام البخاري Narrator it فخارية Narrated this حديث في مكان صحيح he narrated in the Book of Cause and also narrated in the Book of Adab and the word is Imam Al-Bukhari the Muslim narrated in one place of his book of At-Tahala We took the biography of Anna Simone Maliqen when we were on the 12th Hadith لقد أخذت بيغرفة أنس إبن ماليك رحمه الله رضي الله تعالى عنه رضي الله تعالى عنه أنس إبن ماليك يقول جاء عرابيون اي بدوين يأتي إلى البيت عرابي is plural for the word عراب sorry عرابي is the singular sorry عراب is bad wins عراب is the plural عرابي is a singular is a singular a bad win came جاء عرابي a bad win came عراب is a bad win وهو البدوي الذي يسكن الباديا it is the bad win who lives in it he lives outside the cities he came فبالا أن he urinated في طائفة المسجد he urinated in the corner of the masjid طائفة ميز ناحية so he urinated فزاجره الناس so the people they stopped him and they stopped him from what he was doing نهاه ومنعه they prohibited and stopped him so what happened فنهاه والنبي the prophet stopped them from stopping the bad win to urine the prophet stopped what the sahabas from what from their stopping of the bad win فلم قضى بوله when the bad win finished his urine and he finished it امران بيو the prophet ordered عليه الصلاة والسلام he ordered بذانوب مماين the prophet said he ordered a ذانوب ذانوب is what it is a daloo it is the bucket you put into the well the prophet ordered for a that bucket big one he ordered for it عليه الصلاة والسلام it is big and remember the word ذانوب is only called when the bucket is full of water when it is full so it is the bucket is big and the water has to be full so what did the prophet do فأهريق عليه and he poured it over صب عليه the prophet poured the water over the urine he poured it over عليه الصلاة والسلام فقل حريث نجاسة البولي the urine is a نجاسة وذلك بإجماع المسلمين and that is with the consent of the مسلمين two احترام المساجدي respect in the مسجد what is you عن القاضورات and to remove from it any filth to remove from it what any filth and that three الرفقة بالجاهل وتعليمه ما يحتاج بالحسنة من غير تعليف صفنة وخلاص to the one who is ignorant تعليفه ما يحتاجه بجدنة without showing any form of hardship احتراظ عن النجاسات تبقى تبقى from impurities احتراظ احتراظ احتراظ احتراظ احتراظ احتراظ احتراظ احتراظ كيف يفقها احتراظ احتراظ شعب احتراظ احتراظ احتراظ ومدعهم ومدعهم ومدعهم باستخدام مدعن يفهم صفنة سنة تقير الأرض تقير الأرض يحدث ومقابل يطلق بالماء عليها وحفرها حتى يكون ذلك لتعطي المدهر 7 جواز الإنكار على المخالف المستخدمة لتسلق من المجمع في مجمع المجمع المستخدمة لتسلق ويجب أن تتعطي شيئا من شخصك أو شخصك who is doing different to what you believe but with the presence of the scholar. That is permissible as the Sahaba did. They were allowed, they are entitled to disparage the issue but when the Prophet stopped them from what? When they tried to stop him from it. They could disregard it and see it wrong. Eight. This hadith is the great principle that we we hold or the famous principle that we hold which is pushing the less, pushing away the greatest of the two evils. Are you with me? Two evils get rid of and eradicate what? The biggest of them? By holding on to the less. Now are you with me? Is the better we knew in the message a problem? Is it a haam? Of course it is. But for him to be stopped would it be a big haam? Yes for two reasons. Or even more but two that come to my mind. One, if they tried to stop him he would probably run around the message and what? They'll do even more places. Second that it could cause him a medical issue a problem, a health problem. Does that make sense? But now his problem is one place and all it just takes is a bucket. That doesn't mean that okay, no problem. You can urinate if you want to. But it just means taking care of the two evils. Less of the two evils. Nin. Hasten. You should hasten to what? To remove the impurity. Don't say you know what? I'll do it later. Or the sun is going to do it for us. Number ten. The wind and the sun are not enough to purify the land. The sun and the wind are not they are not they are not what? So if that's the case you come to a place most likely something wrong has been thrown at this place, correct? If the sun didn't make this place pure nor did the wind make it pure what about if it's a desert? The scholars they say that the asal of the land is that it was pure the fact that you are now wanting to remove it from that original essence you need to bring an evidence a certainty to remove it. Does that make sense? Which is The original essence of the land is what? The land is originally the essence of the land is that it's pure The water what's the original essence of water? Somebody pours water over to you from the seventh floor You don't know what floor it was but a very far place and you're walking on the road and they pour water over you and then you look up the person just goes up and closes the window You don't know what floor it is You don't know who it is Is it dirty water that they poured over you? Is it clean water in which they poured over you? If it's dirty water Has it made your clothes dirty? You don't know anything The essence of the water is that it's pure To remove it from that original essence you have to be given evidence or a certainty that has to remove it Remember استصحاب is not a very easy matter and the principles like that help you in matters big matters when you learn قواعد and principles helps you a lot Number 11 عتزالي ذلك يسبب الجفاء والجهن Leaving the gatherings of the people of knowledge and the circles of knowledge and abstaining from those type of places You know what it brings?

I said it's the religion of Islam right? the evidence is for that it's the religion of Islam it's the Hadith narrated by Bukhari and Muslim on the authority of the on the authority of Hudayfah to be in Yemen where he said رضي الله تعالى عنه that the messenger said لو ماتها ذا the messenger said if this person dies ماتا على غير ماتا على غير الفطره he will die upon other than the fitrah what's other than the fitrah here? other than the religion of Islam when you die on kufr so he will die on other than the fitrah meaning other than the religion of Islam okay ماتا على ماتا على غير الفطره الختان the Prophet ﷺ then said what are the basic instinct? what are the natural state? five the Prophet mentioned here five the first one is الختان other narrations and additional tweets but here this were this Hadith الختان circumcision circumcision is قطع جزء مخصوص it is to cut off a specific portion من مكان المخصوص from a specific part of the genital the private part في ذكري in the male والأنثة and also in the female also in the female removing it from the male and the female it is obligatory on the male and it is also obligatory on the woman if the man the man has to be circumcised and the woman has to be circumcised and if they are not circumcised they are both sinners according to the strongest view from the علامة the second one is والاستحداد the second one is استحداد استحداد means what إزالة الشعر it is to remove the hair from the armpits it is to remove استحداد means to remove the hair from the the armpits والاستحداد استحداد is إزالة الشعر العالية بالموسى it is to remove the hair that comes around your ذكر your private part everything that is there at the bottom you need to cut you don't have to cut if you don't have to cut anything that is after the middle of between your legs so the person does not have to cut the hair that grows outside that place that range of the area it is just the private the front part الشارب your مستش to cut the moustache هو ما ينبط على الشافة العليان وقصه to shorten it شارب is what your moustache تقليم الأضافر is to cut your nails قطعوا أضافريها الخارجة is to cut what comes out from your what your skin whenever comes out from skin so if the person puts your hand as soon as it comes past your skin that's when you need to cut it the last which is the fifth one نطفل إبط the cutting of the here it should be pulling the sunnah is to pull it it's not to shave it that's not the sunnah the sunnah is not to shave it all of that is not it is not not for me is what is to pull it that is the sunnah reason is because the sunnah wants you to remove from its أصل it wants you to pull it from the root قطعوه من أصله that it comes out from the root that's what the شارع wants فقو الحديثي the thick which is in the حديث الأول أن الله فطر الخلق that Allah سبحانه وتعالى He made the humans natural basic instance على أحسن الأحوالي in the best of forms the child is born with long nails is he born with skin hair child is not born with hair and was he was he no I mean like these are the parts that we are talking about the child is not born with that hair you see so the child is born upon the basic instance okay and that is what the person should go back to أن الخصال الإيمان و شعبه كثيرا the إيمان the branches of إيمان is what it's many and that the إيمان increases and it decreases three and these these characteristics or these actions anyone who comes with it الله will love him سبحانه وتعالى four from the completeness of this religion of Islam the completeness of Islam is what that it calls to purity and cleanliness and it warns the people from filth and dirtiness you find a people get closer to Allah to their creator so called God by let by do what by letting their hair grow they get closer to their God smell to get hair إِنَّا لِلَّهُ وِنَا لِرْ five the legislation of these actions when there is a difference in their rulings like a person is not a sinner if he doesn't cut his armpits they're not a sinner if he doesn't do it or if the person doesn't shorten their moustache they're not a sinner whereas the circumcision is what they're not a sinner so they all don't share the same ruling they don't share the same ruling six the number that is mentioned here is not الحصر it's not exclusivity doesn't mean this is the only that these are the only fitra rather there are others that the prophet the seventh is that the sunnah to remove the pubric and hair is what the sunnah to remove the pubric and hair is what it is to shave it shave it all of it like proper shave it not side burns and on number one or shave it all that is shaved that number seven is that the sunnah is to cut off the hair fully remove it all eight the way to deal with the moustache and the sunnah the way to deal with the moustache is to what is to cut it low but not to shave it shaving is not from the sunnah shaving is not from that in my Malik رحم الله used to believe that peeling your hair fully all of it off fully not leaving anything in my Malik رحم الله used to see it as mutilation and he used to say the person deserves what بر ممالك رحم الله beat nine انا سنة في الأضافر لا تطويلها ولا إزالاتها من أصريها the cutting of the nail the cutting of the nail is what it is that it doesn't go long and it's also not permissible to cut it from its roots wow it is just to cut that which is extra additional some nails have to be there but it shouldn't be very long in the sense where your skin your nails is past your skin and you shouldn't also cut it from the أصل the final point which is اختلاف of the علامة regarding this hadith which is the issue of the circumcision is it obligatory or is it recommended go back to the كتاب تحفة الموضود بأحكام المولود written by authored by ابن القيم ابن القيم رحم الله he made a whole chapter in which he speaks about the issue of circumcision and he brings evidences texts views power for ابن القيم and you know that book is about that book is about children when they

Hi guys, good morning. I am going to talk new skin care that I am currently Trying you all know I like to try a lot of skin care. I Certainly work with a lot of skin care brands and for that I am so grateful because I do change up my skin care Pretty much every week. I will give a brand or trial something for a good week To two weeks before I you know give my honest review in a post or in stories So this I just started trying and I've actually had these products They they sent this to me a while back Okay, so these products I'm going to talk about today are from Swiss line from their self shop line of skin care products I Saved this box because I wanted to show you how pretty it is. I did remove This is what The cream or the moisturizer is what I think this is Looks like so beautifully packaged the company is based in Switzerland And they sent me three products That I just started using I've plans my face. I've applied a toner So I'm going to apply the the sell shop source booster with hyaluronic acid as a serum So I'm going to give myself that much it is Very lightweight There is no fragrance, which is always a plus for me This is their 360 degrees anti wrinkle eye zone serum triple Collagen Institution so it's for the eyes or around your eye area a very delicate eye area. So you don't need much again the texture is Very very lightweight I'm just going to pat that Around my under my eye and All over my eyelid You want to use your ring finger for anything you apply Around your eye area and just gets absorbed into my skin and my skin feels Instantly hydrated Finally, I'm applying the sell shock Luxe lift rich cream so essentially it's a moisturizer. It does have a very mild Fragrance to it, but it's super mild. I'm very sensitive and I don't mind this at all. It actually smells very clean I'm going to pat that all over my face so a Moisturizer is just going to create a barrier or a seal On your face to lock, you know moisture But for those that want a condensed skin care routine, this is actually what I have my husband doing Along with of course cleansing your skin that's super important, but a three-step Serum eye cream Moisturizer if you can at least do that That is you know good And I invite you to check out Swiss line and their products so far. I am loving it My skin feels like just super super hydrated So anyway, I thought I would share that I and share what's New and cooking skincare wise anyway for me


Dan Buley off the inside in the red helmet colour. Gank number two in blue is Martin Vashlik. Big ride needed for Martin Vashlik. Matt Tensen out of gate number three in white and Max Flick off the outside. Also searching for a couple of points here as well, the Australian. Big racists here, but Martin Vashlik can ill afford to slip up here when you consider Smarslik not in the meeting. Here we go. Tapes are up, roaring to the first corner. Buley's made an absolute superb start there. Martin Vashlik running high and wide in the first corner up the inside. Yeah, just about, hangs on to it. Super effort there for Martin Vashlik, but he's very vulnerable. Now Hadson, once again, terrific performance from him. And Max Frick has come through. That's disaster. Martin Vashlik's off. Got himself in a real pickle going into turn one. He pulls the bike away. The race will continue. Oh, my goodness. Frick's now gone down. What on earth is going on? The conditions just catching everybody out. Lights are on. Frick just strewn there. So track is very greasy. And it's catching the best riders in the world out tonight. And Martin Vashlik, well, he came down earlier on. That's not what he needed. With Jack Holder going to the world, he could slip out of the top three tonight. You know, not only is Bartol Smarslik not here, but it's just not working out for him. Clear frustration there with Martin. And Max Frick, who had battled his way back into the night, a disappointing moment for him as well. But we've seen Andre Lebedevs come down there. Clearly very greasy out there on turn number three. Gee, I think Max Frick could stay in the top eight. But, yeah, taking a look at it again here now. We can see Dan Beauty clearly out in front. Martin Vashlik at the back. Never settled into the race. Looked uncomfortable the whole time. Here now, Max Frick, same lap inexplicably. I mean, Max doesn't make mistakes. He's a solid, good rider. And I really don't understand quite how that's happened. For the track surface. Well, yeah, it's certainly catching them out. Yeah, it's cold out there. They put water on. It's greasy and it's catching the riders out. They are finding it awfully difficult to find a setup. Look at that. It's a small error. But, you know, like, it just happened on him. It just turned around so quickly. Exactly that. He's come in there, hasn't done anything different. But the bikes, look at the back tire. No chance at all. He's in reverse there. He doesn't make mistakes like that. You've got to say, that's, that's, uh, quite instinctual. So just to rerun with two here, with Max Frick and Martin Vashlik excluded from heat number 18. Don't like to see that, actually. We're riders really struggling to cope with conditions. It's been a lovely day. So there's no real excuse for it. But nonetheless, that is what has been presented to riders. As I say, Max Hansen here is having a terrific night. And he will go through to the semi-final. The second place almost guaranteed here for him. What a night he's enjoying. I wasn't expecting him to be so busy. But with all the drama that went on before the evening, you've got to say that, and there, Benjamin Basso, who I thought was out of the meeting, looks like he's prepared to ride. In heat number 20. So it must have been a change of heart there. He'll come in for Jason Doyle in heat number 20. But we're still at heat 18. Okay, I'll be putting on the two minutes now, okay, in about five cents seconds. So, Max Hansen, there'll just be effectively a match race here. newly who was away. Beauty's had a few restarts tonight, hasn't he, in his races. Two minutes, guys! Show great composure. Two minutes on. It's going to be up a take. It's really remaining calm and collected. Hang on very nicely indeed. Max Rick could stay in the top eight, but it is all going to depend on the results of heat 19. Okay, so the two race wins could come to his rescue, but if Rasmus Jensen were to win his race, then it will come back to count back with a couple of wins. But we'll wait and see how that transpires. We've got three races to go before the semifinals. See, we're running out of riders at a rapid rate tonight. Depleted field here to this evening with the nutritional conditions, which is somewhat of a surprise when you have such a lovely day. Here we go then, just the two of them. And Beauty on the inside gate, looking good. But young Max Hansen has had a terrific night here, coming in as reserve, really has taken his opportunity very well indeed. He's going to have a semifinal at least, isn't he? He really is. So will we see a reserve rider make a final again? Wouldn't put it past him. No, it's come under pressure in his races, but he's riding really well. He's not panicking, he's not getting out of anybody's way. No, he's not. Down Beauty on the inside in the red helmet colour. No rider in gate number two. Max Hansen out of gate number three in white and no rider off the outside. So a head-to-head here between Hansen and Beauty. Beauty the favourite, two points a minimum if you complete the four laps and that will do either of them. More than adequate to make sure that they go through to the latter stages tonight. Beauty in sixth place in the world championship, taking the opportunity tonight to surge up the charts. Here we go then. Takes her up, Max Hansen's there. Not quite down Beauty, making a nice run into the first corner. And Max Hansen wide coming up the inside, pushing on, Mikey looking good once again, hugging the inside. Beauty's gone very, very wide. Max Hansen's in front. Momentarily, Beauty just about getting his nose back to the front as they start the second lap, took a chance, Beauty, there going very wide. Had a turn number four, but now doesn't do the same. Middle of the track, beginning to pull away. Down Beauty, this is looking like another win for him. Yeah, he had to move out when he made the pass back on Hansen. He ran into the corner so hard, he had to elect to run out to the dirt. Now he's being a little bit more conservative, just riding around the middle of the track, edge of the dirt stuff. I don't think Max Hansen, as much as he's wide. He's right there? Yeah, he's right there, but I think Dan's got it covered. Down the back straight for the last time, got to say Max Hansen giving it one last blast, high and wide in turns three and four. You're right, Chris. Not quite going to get there. Beauty comes through in the end. But as hard as Hansen tried, just couldn't quite get himself to the front, but nonetheless finishes with another second play. So moving along very nicely indeed, three points for Dan Buley, Matt Hansen a second place, and Malton Vasilyk and Max Frick don't score, because they were both excluded, because they crashed in heat number 18, to a colder out in front on 12 points. Dan Buley moving along nicely onto 11, Mikkelsen on 10, Leon Madsen on 10 with a race to come. He could leapfrog all of them, as can Robert Lambert, but Matt Hansen a fine effort on 10 points from his five-vote rise tonight, and will be in the semi-finals. Great result for the 23-year-old from Denmark. Yeah, the last two riders standing in this one, but Dan Buley Rockets from the start around the inside, and then decides he's going to ride high and wide, and Madsen is pretty much stuck to the inside or mid-track, never wider than that in every race so far. There, I think Dan just ran wide, but also broke traction as he was going across to the dirt line, and stuck with it, managed to get his nose back in front, had to run wide, had to go back out into the dirt.  He was fair, he didn't go straight across to the fence, that probably would have ended in carnage with the speed that Dan Buley was generating, that Dan soon realised, I've got to go a little bit tighter than that. Yes, he did so.


As you're growing older, you look into the mirror and you start noticing I have a pimple on my face And what happens? Well, I want to make Calvin Klein rich. That's all or I Want to make someone else rich by buying all sorts of things Listen, I'm not picking on makeup at all But I'm picking on the way it's being done today. That's a reality the way it's being done today is such That it has resulted in chaos across the globe people are depressed They cannot come to the door without painting their faces They will not be able to even go to school without looking like someone. They are not Subhanallah, where is the peace? How long is this going to last? Wallahi be happy with what you look like for indeed that will become a point of comfort and peace A point of happiness. Don't worry. Someone somewhere will really adore you for exactly who you are You don't need to prove to the world that you are blemishless. We all have blemishes We all have bent noses. We all have teeth that are not in order We all have something here and there that is Allah's way of Letting you know that you are a human being here for a bigger purpose Our life has been reduced to worrying about cosmetics males included not just the females Subhanallah Like I said, I'm not attacking Makeup because to a certain point with certain conditions. Yes, it may be there, but I'm talking of The way it is progressing nowadays How it is developing people are going beyond the limits It brings about chaos in our lives because I know of cases as a counselor Where there are some wives who don't allow their husbands to see them without makeup Why did I marry you man? Why did I marry you Subhanallah? Imagine what would happen? If he cannot see you because you don't have makeup now that you have makeup, I guess he cannot touch you Allahu Akbar may Allah forgive us Where will it end? My brothers and sisters As you will notice from what I'm saying As you will realize Sometimes the chaos from a certain angle and I will be speaking about it from a few different angles But from a certain angle is chaos within us within the individual. There is chaos in my heart I don't have happiness. I don't have contentment. I'm not calm. Everything is chaotic. I'm running from pillar to post I don't know what I want. You know why sometimes Materialism has taken over our hearts So purify the heart you don't need to have the latest You don't need to stand out such that you are the best and the top No in the eyes of Allah you will always be the best in your own unique way in your own unique way You are definitely the best What is your relationship with Allah? Do you really fulfill your Salah if you don't how do you want that happiness? How do you want your heart to become pure? You have not gotten up for Salat al-Fajr in so many days in so many months You have not even picked up the Quran in so many months as well. The last time was the previous Ramadan How do you want that internal chaos to be dealt with when? You haven't even thought About pleasing Allah Brothers and sisters this is mainly for sisters But brothers can also benefit from this because you probably got a relative or someone related to you That's in this position.  I'm not putting them down I'm not asking anyone else to look down on them, but I want you to think about one thing my sister That is that you're in a world where it it is unfortunately many a times dragged by the whims and desires of men and men want women to Wear these things for their own whims desires for their eyes for their egos and Think about what's happening to you you've become or you're becoming a commodity You're becoming someone who is there just for others to make Money out of you and for you to become the pleasure of people's eyes who you don't even want near you Now think about a sister, please I know sometimes you want to be out there and you want others to look at you The whole point is attraction and the whole point is that you want a competition between women Because women have a competition between themselves sometimes to see who's the prettiest of all in a mirror mirror Who's the prettiest out there of all or between men? You know you want that the man or you know the men are there the best men to look at you Fine, but there's a price to pay My sister for all those good men that will look at you There's all so many men that you don't want looking at you And you're going to say well It's my right to dress up like this and it's the right of them to turn away But Allah has said something in the Quran He has said in the beginning of the 22nd Jews. He has said The man who has got an illness in his heart an ill desire towards women in his heart He will be he would be covetous and he will want to get his hands on you Or he will want to be or behave in a way that is inappropriate Now the thing is my sister is that you might still say well, you know, that's his problem. It is true It's his problem But think about you. Have you become the commodity of the of of this whole commercialized world Are you just a product where you've been sold items for your nails for your face that you don't really need? Seriously women out there are having facials done for 200 pounds sometimes a hundred pound sometimes 200 pounds sometimes more just a facial done and Well, what does it do if you really think about it? What does it do?  You're only already beautiful without wearing all those all those glamorous clothes. Why? Because Allah Azza wa Jalla has made women more beautiful than men naturally This is the case and you're beautiful wherever you are and it's better that you stay Naturally the way Allah has kept you and one day if somebody actually sees you and desires you because of your natural face if that actually happens then you've got True love there because you know what I want to say to you my sister and brothers who are listening out there is When people do their face up and they pose in front of a camera and they take a selfie or they post it on to Instagram on to the Facebook update or wherever it is okay out there when people do that It's not really their face and let's not fake it. It's not your face and when people see you like that They think it's a different they think it's a really war. Wow. Wow, you know that that person. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you know And after that what happens the day they see them without the makeup They kind of let down a bit and I want to say to you my brothers and sisters Let's not live in a fake world that's been created for us live in the real world The real world is your real face Allah has given you a beautiful face The real world is your beautiful self and you don't need to put you know You don't need to spend hundreds of pounds to buy these products and you don't need to be the reason For so many out there to have you know to have the wrong eyes on you That's not what you want You just want a good companionship with the right person one person you get married to who is Halal for you You stay like that for your life in this world because what is what is that you want companionship true love Which is looking after that's what you really want and all this glamour and all everything else that you place up It doesn't give you always that so please think about it Don't become a commodity out there and don't become the last for the eyes of people out there That really don't have the right Desire or the right heart?


From around the globe, it's theCUBE with digital coverage of Dell Technologies World, digital experience, brought to you by Dell Technologies. Hello everyone and welcome back to theCUBE's wall-to-wall coverage of Dell Technologies World, the digital experience 2020, the virtual cube is coming at you, I'm Dave Vellante and with me are two great guests, my colleague and longtime business friend, Howard Elias, he's the chief customer officer and president of services and digital at Dell and also joining me is Shri Raj, aka Shri Kanthamnaini who is the managing director of digital insights at Cargo which is one of the world's largest privately held companies and a top maker and distributor of agricultural products and the things that we eat every day. Gentlemen, thanks so much for your time and coming on theCUBE, great to see you. Great to see you Dave and Shri, great to see you again as well. Good to be with you both.  So I was talking to a customer every day or the other day and we all talk about digital transformation and I said, what's digital transformation to you? He said, Dave, my SAP system is 15 years old and I have to upgrade it. So I was like, okay, so there's a spectrum as you know but what are you seeing as digital transformation? What does that mean to your customers? Well, what we're seeing is a glimpse of the future and first of all, Dave, great to be with you again, Shri and all of you out there, hope everybody's safe and well. Thanks for joining us at Dell Technologies World today. But digital transformation from our customer's perspectives, the technology enablement of experiences with customers, partners and employees as well as automating processes to deliver value to all key stakeholders. And we've just seen a glimpse of the future. Customers are accelerating their adoption of technology. We see this through necessity, right? When everybody had to pivot to work from home, especially those professional workers. And for the most part, whether the companies plan forward or not, we all embraced and learned new ways of being productive remotely. And that was all enabled by technology but we've seen it in every walk of life. It's really an acceleration of trends that were already underway. Whether it was the remote experience for professional employees, whether it's e-commerce experience, whether it's telemedicine, distance learning. All of these things have been available for a while but we've seen them be embraced and accelerated tremendously due to what we've seen over the last six months in all industries. And Sri will talk about what's happening specifically in the agricultural industry. And what we've seen is customers that have made investments over the years have been able to move even faster in their specific industries. We've just done a survey of about 4,600 customers around the world and 80% have accelerated their investments in digital technology to improve the experience of their employees, of their customers and of their partners. Yeah, so thank you for that, Howard. Sri, I mean, a lot of people might think of Cargillio as physical business, but it's anything but. I mean, you've got such a huge data component to your business, but I wonder what you would add. I mean, we're maybe talk a little bit. I mean, it's such an amazingly rich and deep company, but maybe talk about your digital transformation journey and at least in your sphere of the world where you're at. Yeah, thanks, Dave. And Howard's absolutely right. What COVID has done is just accelerated the need for technology on farm and with our customers. And certainly in the last few months, we've seen that accelerate tremendously, right? At the end of the day, agriculture has been a technology first industry for hundreds of years. And so we're seeing that take fold in the form of digital adoption, the use of analytics, the use of really unique sensor technologies like cameras and computer vision sound. I liken it to the senses that we all have every day that we use to make decisions. Well, we're now seeing that adopted with our customers. And so it's a really interesting time and I think an opportunity for the industry to really move forward. I mean, in terms of the pandemic, we talked to a lot of customers. Howard just mentioned a survey. You certainly saw the pivot to work from home, increase in laptop momentum and Dell's business. We saw that you're seeing identity access management, cloud security, endpoint security, even VDI. These were big tailwinds early on. What did the pandemic do to your business in just in terms of your priorities? Did you have to obviously shift to those things to support work from home? What happened to your digital transformation? Was anything put on hold and is restarting? Can you just, I don't know what you could tell us about that, but anything you could describe and add some color to that narrative would be really helpful to our audience. Certainly, yeah. I think overnight we had a workforce that went from being in the office to working from home and that just accelerated the need for collaboration tools. Things like teams and Skype and Zoom have just taken off. But also technologies that allow for virtual engagement like whiteboarding and brainstorming sessions that we used to do in the office with customers and suppliers, we're now having to do in a virtual setting. So that has just transformed how we do business. On the customer end, technologies like computer vision and sound really transform the need to leverage labor differently. One of the biggest challenges that COVID has placed is how labor interacts with animals and with food production. And we've just seen a significant adoption of technology to help alleviate some of those stresses. Now, you guys probably have seen the tongue-in-cheek cartoons, the COVID wrecking ball, the guys in the audience in the building saying, ah, digital transformation. None of my watching the COVID comes in. I've often joked, I guess we have to have a sense of humor in these times, but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Well, COVID kind of broke everything. And Howard, when you think about digital transformation, yes, it was going on before COVID, but there are a lot of industries that hadn't been disrupted. I think about healthcare. I think about financial services. I think about defense. I mean, the list goes on. Unlike publishing, for instance, which got totally disrupted by the internet, but now it seems like if you're not a digital business, you're out of business. And so are you seeing like virtually every industry, adopting digital or are you seeing any trends that are different by industry? What are you seeing out there? We're absolutely seeing every company and every industry adopted in their own way, thinking through their business models.   It's not just the large professional industrial financial services companies who are also reinventing, but I go back to what I said before, what we're seeing, these trends were already underway. They've just been put into hyperspeed. What folks were thinking about doing in two or three years, we're doing in two or three months, the pivot to work from home worldwide happened in two or three weeks. And it's not the crisis we plan for, but we're always preparing for the future. The groundwork was laid and now it's just been accelerated and we're seeing it everywhere, including inside of Dell. I think about all the processes and the way we serve our employees, our customers and partners, we've accelerated. We're adopting the product model within our own Dell digital organization as an example. That's been accelerated. The move to multi-cloud and having a cloud operating model no matter where the infrastructure has been accelerated. And everything we've talked about on the client experience, security models, networking models, software defined models, every industry, every company has had to embrace this. So Sree, I mean, I'm fascinated by your business. I mean, again, I think a lot of people think of it as a real physical business, but there's so much data. You're the head of digital insights, which is you've got data running through your entire operations. There's other things, there's double take words I see in your background, like aquaculture. So how are you re-imagining the future of your industry? That's a fascinating question, Dave. You know, imagine this. You could listen to a shrimp eat and then turn that into unique insights about the feeding patterns and behaviors of shrimp, right? Who would have imagined 10 years ago that we would have technology that enabled us to do things like that, right? And so from aquaculture to the dairy industry to grain origination, we're leveraging digital and data to really help our customers and producers make better, more informed decisions. Where in the past, it was really experience that allowed them to be good farmers and good stewards of our planet. Now we're using technology. So it's really an opportunity to harness the power of digital for our industry. Well, you know, and it's critical because we have people to feed and actually it's working. I mean, the yields that are coming out of the industry are amazing. I know there's a lot of discussion now about, hey, you know, we're actually getting a lot of food to people and now there's a discussion around nutrition. And that's front and center. And I presume technology and data fit in there as well, Sreeya, I wonder if you could comment. Yeah, you know, by 2050, Dave, there will be nearly 10 billion people on this planet. And to feed that growing population, we're gonna need 70% more protein. And so as you think about the impacts that that growing population has on the planet, there's also, you know, nutrition, but think about sustainability. How do we grow this food and get it from the place that it's produced to the place where it's consumed in a way that's resource-efficient and effective? So there's nutrition in just the middle class in Asia, you know, having a higher propensity to spend and dealing with that challenge on one end of the spectrum. And then on the other end of the spectrum, being able to really deal with sustainability. Howard, I've watched your career over the decades and you've had so many roles. And I always used to joke with you, they gave you the hardest problems. If you want to get stuff done, you give it to the busiest guy. It was always Howard, you know, help us with our own transformations, help us do the integrations, whether it was M&A or the largest industry. I love a good challenge, as you know. Yeah, I do know. And so I want to get the update on Dell's own transformation.  We are, and we're no different than any of our customers in having to, you know, focus on our digital transformation agenda. I mentioned earlier the adoption of our product model, you know, moving from a project-based Dell Digital and IT organization to one that's a product model. So these are balanced teams with a product manager, a designer and developers working closely with the business and the function in an agile manner and the CIC pipeline manner. And all of this, again, has been accelerated. We have our own Dell Digital Cloud, which is our hybrid cloud that we leverage internally where software defining everything and it's really paying dividends because what we've seen literally in the last six to eight months is higher levels of security, higher levels of availability, higher levels of resiliency. We've been able to handle all of the increased transactions on our e-commerce engines, all at higher quality and lower cost. Now we, the groundwork for this with Jen Felch and the team over the last couple of years, but again by necessity had to accelerate and we've done that. And we're even moving faster now on data pipelines and really understanding all of our key processes and understanding the workflows and the data flows, working with machine learning and artificial intelligence. Again, exactly the way Cargill and other of our customers are doing in their businesses. I know you're talking or have talked to Doug Schmidt. You know, we've digitized and automated thousands of processes in our services organization, the ability on a remote basis to service our customers. We've invented new and innovative ways to service our customers remotely versus going on site, not just in break fix, deployment, remote change management, managed services, consulting. It's just great to see all this wonderful innovation come together serving our customers. Thank you for that Howard and you said something that triggered me in a good way. Data pipelines, I use that term a lot and Surya, I wonder if you could talk about this because you guys have been around since the 1800s. I think the largest privately held company in the United States, I think probably close to one of the largest in the world. And so you got a lot of data and a lot of different places.  And I would think the company the size of Cargill to the extent that you can reduce the end to end time it takes to go from raw data to insights. I mean, that's got to be telephone numbers for your business and your bottom line that you can then reinvest and give back to customers, et cetera and be competitive. I wonder if you could talk about that whole concept of the data pipeline and how are you using data and some of the challenges of compressing that end to end cycle time and latency to get the insights. That day, Cargill is a 155 year old company and at our core, we're a supply chain company, right? Taking food from where it's produced, getting it through the manufacturing process to customers. And so at the end of the day, I joke that not only are we a physical supply chain company but we're also a data supply chain company. So the data value chain is really about taking all the different inputs and data that we have and turning that into unique insights. And I don't think there's a company on the planet in the food space that has the ability to connect those dots in the way that we do. And so our ability to create unique actionable insights for our customers is going to be really powerful, especially in the coming years. So let's talk about Dell a little bit. I always ask technology leaders, how are your vendors doing for you? How'd they help you through the pandemic? How would you grade Dell in terms of its support through the pandemic? Dell has been absolutely fantastic, right? I mean, I think it is really neat to have partners like Dell helping us achieve our mission for our customers. And I know they feel that way about us as their customers. So it's really wonderful to have the type of collaboration and partnership that we do. All right, Howard, same question for you. How would you grade Dell and how you guys have done through the pandemic with regard to supporting your customers? I mean, you're never one to overhype in my experience with you, but give us your take. Well, I would grade Dell by what our customers say. And we do it both through direct conversations as well as the data and telemetry we get. And the data and telemetry we have in terms of our NPS, our CSAT scores, our service level objectives that we're delivering, all have remained in profile. The team has really risen to the occasion. It's been super creative, passionate, full of grit. We heard Allison and Angela talk about that, that Dell Technologies World this morning. And our team has embodied that spirit and that grit to be able to deliver. But in the conversations we're having with customer Sri and his peers, you know, look, it's been a challenging time. But as you know, Dell has always focused on delivering value for the longterm. We're not in it for the short term. And that has served us well that philosophy, the objective we have with working with customers is always about what's in the best interest of our customers in the longterm. Because if we do that, it'll ultimately be in the best interest of Dell. Well, it's been amazing to just watch. I mean, it's ironic that we got hit with this at the beginning of this decade. It's obviously going to define what we do going forward. I think we've all talked about, it's funny, everybody in our business and the technology business, we've become COVID experts in some way, shape or form overnight, but we've talked a lot about the things that we see as permanent. And I think that, you know, clearly the two, your two companies are examples of agility, leaning into technology. And as you said, Howard, here for the longterm, 155 years old, I think Street said. So, well, here's to another 155 years, gentlemen. Thanks so much for coming to theCUBE, awesome guests. Thanks Dave, appreciate it. All right, and thank you for watching everybody, our continuing coverage of Dell Technologies World 2020. You're watching theCUBE.


So, doctor you already touched upon this that you know it can be diagnosed while in the womb itself. So, how is that and how are these things are these fine related problems in newborn kids diagnosed and what are the different issues that there can be. So interestingly when we when a when the mother undergoes an ultrasound scan when in the antinatal period while in the womb a lot of spinal problems can be identified there are certain unfortunate conditions where the entire spine is not formed and parts of the brain are also not formed such fetuses such fetuses are not compatible with life and many of them are still born. There are some others who are born at birth they will have a spine which is open to the external environment which may need to be addressed early. So, an ultrasound scan is the only say it is the very safe way of diagnosing a spinal problem in the intrauterine stage. Once the child is out of the womb and into the external world then we can do MRI scans CT scans and other investigations x-rays simple x-rays can also help in diagnosing spinal malformations spinal deformities.
