Hi everyone, my name is Zoe and I use Daishi pronouns. I'm Jenny and I use Daishi pronouns. We both work at CrowdStrike where I'm the accessibility lead. And I'm a UA engineer. And CrowdStrike is a remote for cybersecurity company. So no matter where you're based, we're always hiring. We use Ember, Tailwind and TypeScript. And if you're interested, DM us on Twitter or get in touch via Discord and we'll introduce you to the right people. Today, we'll talk about the accessibility of the Space Jam websites. The real question is which one, because as it turns out there are four. We have the original one from 1996. We have a new one made for the 2021 film. We have one for Cinema Times and then we have like a remastered version of the original one, but made for the new film. Today, we'll look at the original website and the one made for the 2021 film. We'll use our finest tools to check their accessibility. And here we have Box Bunny pointing at our tools. We'll use a keyboard to check for a keyboard navigation. We'll use Apple's voiceover screen reader to look at the souvenir page. And we'll use the Sharktastic JAWS screen reader to try and play some games on Windows. But for all of the seriousness though, we'd love to tell you why we chose this page on websites to begin with. We chose it for three reasons. Number one, it's awesome. Just look at it. It's the perfect companion to the cinematic masterpiece that is the Space Jam movie. A movie about Box Bunny and Michael Jordan teaming up to play basketball against the aliens. Number two, it's a time capsule. This website has not changed since it was created in 1996. And before we reveal reason number three, let's look at the team that created the website. It was created by Andrew Sackler, Jen Brown, Michael Tritter, Darlan Ways, and the team was led by Don Buckley with very little studio oversight. The team was largely composed of designers who taught themselves HTML. They used the latest of web technologies available to them at the time to create a website that to this day stands the test of time. And that leads us to reason number three, the new Space Jam website. The new website was created to promote Space Jam a new legacy movie featuring LeBron James. And so like the old one, this is a marketing website. And this is where the similarities really seemed to end. The new website had two decades worth of front end development knowledge and expertise. And where accessibility was not really a term used in the 90s. Warner Bros like any large corporation keeps on claiming that accessibility is really important to them. But is large corporations promising to be accessible actually translate into accessible websites? Or is it just self-indulgent promises like Daffy Duck kissing the Warner Bros logo on his butt in this gift? And have two decades worth of experience and tooling actually made the web more accessible. And finally, is the new Space Jam movie better than the old one? We will focus on these questions in our demos where we'll use different tools to look at both websites and assess how accessible they are. And in the first demo, we'll be checking how easy it is to navigate the websites using keyboard only. I will first look at the old Space Jam website and then at the new one in both cases, I'll start on the landing page. I will navigate to any other page and then come back. So first let's go through the keys that I'll be using. So I'll be using tap to focus on the next element. I'll use shift app to focus on previous elements. Enter to activate focus control. And control tab to go to the next browser tab. So let's jump into the demo. We are on the old Space Jam website in the middle we have the logo and it is surrounded by planets. Each of the planets has a name. So I'm assuming this is where the name of the page that we'll be taking to if we click on it. And the landing page here is the main menu or the main navigation. Right, so let's press stop to see where we happen to be. And we can clearly see the focus on press box shuttle. Okay, well, let's stop through this. So we're going clockwise. Okay, here we started jumping.  So it's not really a massive issue. And now we've tapped through everything we're behind the jam. So let's press enter and see where it will take us. And we're behind the jam page in the middle we have an image. Inside the image we have four phrases. Now I wonder if it's just text that is part of the image or we can actually interact with it somehow. So I'm pressing tab. And you can see the focus on this page and logo in the top left corner. Pressing tab again. Cool. So you can see clearly see the focus within the image on animation sketches. I'm pressing tab again. So it moved. Okay, I wonder if it's just a focusable element or if I click on if I press enter will actually be taken somewhere. So pressing enter. And we're on the character development page. Okay, very cool. We've overdone what we've set out to do so I am going to press tab. And we're in space jam logo and pressing enter hoping it'll be I'll be taken back to the London page. We're back on the London page. Great. The old website passed the first demo. Let's see how the new website compares. So I'm pressing control tab. And we are on the new space jam website, but only we're not actually on the new one. So we're not seeing the landing page. What we're seeing here is the pop over above the London page. But this shouldn't be a problem. I see there's a close button in the top right corner, the yellow square with a cross. So basically I have to do stop to it close the pop over and then we can begin our demo. So I'm pressing tab. I'm not seeing the focus so I pressed up again. I know that the focus is on something because if we look at the bottom left corner. So I'm pressing enter. I'm pressing the URL and I'll press tab again. So it moved to synopsis now. But I guess the focus is underneath the pop over. That's why I'm not seeing it. So if the focus is actually somewhere on the landing page, maybe I should just press enter and we'll be taken to that page instead. So I don't even have to close the pop over. So I'm pressing enter. Right. I don't know if we are on the synopsis page, but I cannot see it because of the pop over. So no shortcuts. We're back to the original plan. So let's tap to the button. So I'm tabbing tabbing tabbing some more. Okay, now I'm on the pop over with copy link. Tabbing a bit more play mute. Okay, we're out of the pop over. So we're now on the Chrome tab. Cool. I guess we can end our demo here. Thank you everyone for coming to our talk. We'll see you at Embercom 2023. There's no way for me to close this pop over screen with my keyboard. I cannot tap to it, let alone press that button. And I mean, as much as I like to joke that a front and developers job is to center divs and make buttons, it really is our job to make buttons that work. This is why there's always an outcry. When you have articles about how a button costs the business, it costs half a billion. Because we're paid to make websites, usable websites. And here we have an example of a button that doesn't work. And money aside, Zoe and I work for a cybersecurity company. So working button is the difference between stopping the breach or not. So on this somber note, I press over to Zoe. Thanks. So let's have a look at this yellow square with a cross in it. That's pretending to be a button. We can use Chrome's DevTools to have a deeper look. So if we right click on our yellow square and we choose inspect, we get presented with the DevTools. And here on the left, we see all of the HTML. And we can see the HTML for our supposed button highlighted. And we can see that it's a div with an ID of trailer close. There's also a data attribute and then a style attribute with some styling in it. Inside, we find two spans which are used to make up the cross. But there's nothing here that indicates any buttoness for this element. And we can see that there's no semantics here. We can still dig a bit deeper though. If we move over to the right, we have a set of tabs, including styles, computer layout, event listeners, and then a Chevron menu. If we open that menu, we get some more options, one of which is accessibility. If we go into that, we get presented with the accessibility tab. And here we see the accessibility tree, which is essentially like the DOM, but with accessibility information. Then we also have ARIA attributes, which would list ARIA attributes that are added to the selected element. And then under that, we find perhaps the most interesting portion, which is the computer properties. So here we can see all of the accessibility information that is being computed for our selected element. Right now, we can see that there is no accessible name and that the role is generic, generic being the implicit role for a div element. So there's a few things missing here. This is trying to be a button, but we don't have the semantics for it. One way in which we could solve that would be to just add ARIA. So we can add a role attribute and set that to button. And if we switch to our accessibility tab, we can see that under ARIA attributes, the role attribute has been added with the value of button. And under computed, we can see that indeed the role is now button. It still doesn't have a name though, which we can fix with yet more ARIA. So let's add another attribute and we can do ARIA label. Then we can set it to something like closed dialogue. Let's use that clear enough. If we switch to the accessibility tab, we can see under computer properties that the name is now closed dialogue and we can also see that it comes from the ARIA label that we added. By default though, a div is not accessible via keyboard. So I can't get to it with the tab key. There's an attribute we can add to edit to the tab order of the page. And we do that with the tab index attribute. So let's add that. If we set tab index to zero, the element will be added to the tab order based on its location in the DOM. So it's similar to how it works for other focusable elements such as inputs or links. Okay, so we should now be able to try this demo again because we added the semantics and we added the square to the tab order. So I'll set focus to the page and I'll press the tab key. Okay, I'm not seeing focus yet. If I press tab again, I get into the YouTube player again. So maybe focus is on the button, but I'm just not seeing it. We can inspect that in the DevTools as well. So if we switch back to DevTools and go to the styles tab, we can right click on our HTML, on the element in the HTML and we can go to first state and we can choose focus. This will show us any styles that might be applied while focus is active. And in the styles tab, we can see that when focus is active, the outline property is set. Unfortunately though, it sets a none, which is even made important for some reason. This is equal to hiding the cursor for mouse users. Essentially, you have no idea where you are on the page. So let's disable that style for now. So then maybe we can see where we are. Okay, going back to the page and I can already see the focus outline, but let's try to demo again. I set focus to the page and I press the tab key and now I can see focus on the button. So that's good. Let's try if we can now close this dialogue. So I'll press return, which doesn't do anything. I'll press this page bar just to see if that does anything. Nope, doesn't do anything. Okay, what's going on? Let's head back to our DevTools again. And we select our button. On the right, in the Chevron menu we used earlier, we can select event listeners. And this will list all of the event listeners added for the specific component. And we can see that it's only a click listener. So the click listener listens for pointer events. So this will work for something like an iPad. On an iPad you could close this menu if you use touch. You can click on it and it will close it. But even though I can set focus to this button, it won't close with either the return or space bar. Even though we added all of this semantic information, this button still doesn't work for everyone. And as Billy prompted, when UX doesn't consider all users, shouldn't it be known as some user experience or SUCKS? To find out if these websites work for all users, or only some will have to look beyond the pixels. So let's do exactly that. Instead of look-can't pixels, how about we listen to pixels and we can use voiceover for that. As a disclaimer, I'm a fully-cited user. So I use voiceover to test the features that I've created, but not in my daily life. So the way I use voiceover will most likely be very different from how a daily user uses it. And before we jump into the demo, let's look at the keys we'll be using. So to turn voiceover on, we need to press Command and F5 or Command and the Touch ID on your touch bar. I should probably call out straight away that voiceover is an Apple product, hence why you need the Command key to be able to start it on, to turn it on. So the next keys I'll be using is Control Option and left and right arrows. Control Option is a very popular voiceover combination and the two keys are sometimes used voiceover, called voiceover keys or VO keys. And to open the web rotor, I will be using VOU keys. And the web rotor is essentially this box that says links in the left corner. A web rotor is a voiceover element and it is a collection of different menus available to the user. Now at the bottom of the page here, we have this speech output box, which is essentially subtitles for voiceover. And to the right, the outline around Pressbox Shuttle. It looks like focus, but actually it's a virtual cursor. And the virtual cursor allows users to focus into elements that are not usually focusable. And now that we have this tool set, let's start the demo. And we'll start it on the old website on the Stellar Souvenir page. And I will switch on voiceover now. Voiceover on Safari, Stellar Souvenirs. So voiceover is on and we are on the Stellar Souvenirs page. I chose this page because I just happened to really like it. The layout here is very similar to behind the Jam page. So we have the image in the middle. We have Stellar Souvenirs written above the image and within the image, we have seven links. Well, now we know our links. Well, let's see what we can do on this page using voiceover. So I'm going to open the rotor pressing VOU. Links menu. I'm going to go through the navigation that's available to us. The menus that are available to us. Images menu. Window spots menu. Links menu. Okay, so out of the menus available to us, the links menu looks the most interesting and straight up. The amount of links here is a lot more than what we see on the page. So voiceover is arguably enhancing our experience straight away. So we've discovered some Easter eggs. And at the bottom, I see loans and haircut. Okay, I'm really curious where haircut will take us and where it's even coming from. So I'm going to go down to haircut. Link, link, link, link, haircut, HTML. Link, haircut, HTML. Okay. And I see the virtual cursor around the squiggly thing near the barber shop. So honestly, as a cider user, I would have never even considered pressing on that element. So yeah, we're definitely discovering Easter eggs here. Right. Let's see where the link will take us. Stella souvenirs, web content. Yes, you need one indeed. Stella souvenirs, web content. We're taking to an incredibly sassy page. Yes, you need one indeed. Well, thank you, website. I should probably mention again here that this website was built with very little studio oversight. I mean, honestly, to me, the experience with voiceover has added a layer of depth to the website and you do get some whimsical Easter eggs. Now, let's see how the new website compares some person control tab. Space Jam, a new legacy vertical line official site web content. And I'm on the new website. And finally, we're seeing the London page. Spoiler alert. You cannot close the pop over with voiceover. So let's pretend a friend stopped by who happened to have a mouse with them and they close the pop over for me. And because we never did the first demo on the new website, let's do the first demo here now. So we'll start on the London page and navigate anywhere else. So I see there's fun and games right in the middle of the menu bar. Let's go there. So like on the old website, I'll bring up the web router. So I'm pressing VOU links menu. Images menu, window spots menu landmarks menu. Okay, we I need the landmarks menu and I see navigation here. Let's go there. Navigation. Okay, so that we're focusing on the navigation bar was never announced. But I'll just trust that it worked. So I'm pressing tab link video list seven items video. For some reason, it decided to skip the home tab and we'll end it straight on video. And I don't know if you've heard it, but it did say video link of seven. There are more than seven links in the snap bar. So we're getting an experience the opposite experience of what we had on the old website where things that are clearly visible on the navigation on the nav bar are not showing up and we're not told about them. But at this stage, I feel like anything is nitpicking. It does have a button that doesn't do what a button is supposed to do. So let's just go to fun and games. So I'll be pressing video and the right arrow key link synopsis three link fun and games four of seven fun and games. And I'm pressing enter. And I can see that we changed the page. So we are now on fun and games. However, voiceover never announced it. And that is a bit of a problem if I was relying on voiceover to tell me where I am on the website. I would have no idea that I'm on fun and games. This the experience of using the new website does feel like death by 1000 paper cuts. There's a button that completely doesn't work but even if you have someone to navigate you to the main website. It sort of works enough, but it really doesn't work and the whole experience is incredibly frustrating. So on this exasperator note, I hand over to Zoe to actually try playing some of the games. Okay, so with voiceover out of the way. Let's look at another simulator. We'll switch over to windows where we have jobs. So here we are on the old website and we have a page open with match the monsters, which is a game. And before we dive into that, let's discuss some statistics because a lot of us developers test with voiceover. It's available on our machines. It's easy to activate and it's relatively easy to sort of navigate with it. But voiceover has about a 5% market share, whereas JAWS has over 50% market share, so it's used by a lot more people. So I think it's good that we're going to do a little test for that. Okay, so this game, match the monsters, is asking us to match one of the nerd logs, which is like the tiny monsters to the monsters, which are the giant monsters that play basketball against Sparks Bunny and Michael Jordan. So in order for us to play this game with something like JAWS, these images will need to have alt text and that alt alt text will need to have. We'll need to describe their characteristics so that we can sort of match them. So let's turn on JAWS. Similar to voiceover JAWS has a function where we can pull up a list with certain elements on the page so we could pull up a list for headings or landmarks or links, but we can also pull up a list of all the graphics. So if I want to do that, I do control insert G. List one list view match the monsters 18 of 24 to move. So JAWS now shows a list of all the images on this page. It announced how many there are. And we can navigate through this list using the arrow keys. So I just moved to the nerd block image. The alt text for it is just nerd block. So it doesn't have any of those characteristics that I just mentioned. So this won't really allow us to play this game, because we can also see that the alt text for the other images of the monsters are just their names being null, zilch, void, nada and bubkus. Again, doesn't include any of the characteristics that we would need. So let's close this menu and you JAWS for now. Because we won't be able to play this game with JAWS, not based on the audio cues that we'll get anyway. But maybe we can still play with a keyboard. And that might still be fun. And I think we can all use some fun. So I'll press the tab key. And I can see that my focus is now on null, which is the first non-star. So the nerd log that we're presented with, it looks grumpy and a bit angry. I think it's zilch, which is the orange one. So I'll press return. All right. So we get presented with a page that says I was right. And there is a transition give that goes from the nerd log to the monster. So that's pretty cool. There's also a link that says next. So we can try the next one. So I'll never get to that with the tab key. And represented with our next nerd lock, which this one is tiny. It looks very sad. So we think key turns into, I'm going to go with orange or with the red one, which I believe is called nada. So let's try that. Let's return. Oh, I was wrong. So we're presented with a page that says that no, this nerd lock does not match to the monster. There is a button to try again. So we could do that. But I had some fun. Let's let's move to the new website. See how that compares. So I'll do control tab. And here we are on the fun and games page on the new website. This is where Jenny left us at the end of their demo. So let's turn on jobs again. A lot of assistive technology comes with certain key shortcuts that you can use to navigate the page to easily get to certain parts. So in JAWS, for example, I can press the Q key to go to the main region or the main landmark. So I'll press Q. There is no main region on this page. Of course, developers need to implement it for us to be able to do that, which here they didn't do. But no worries. There are other things that we can try. We can press the H key to go to the next heading. Fun and games heading level two. Okay, so there's a heading on this page. It is fun and games, which is the title. So that's perfect. But it's a heading level two. Since it's the title for this page, I would expect it to be a heading level one. But at this point, I'll take that it has a heading anyway. And so we'll use the tab key to sort of see what things that are on this page. Pinball, that sounds fun. Movie game, our lens, link graphic. Our lens. Movie game activity book link graphic. And activity book. Oh, I think we'll go for pinball. That sounds like something we should be able to do with a keyboard anyway. Maybe even with JAWS. I'll press return to go to the game. Enter. Okay, so we're taking to a new to a new page. This page has the game on it, basically the title page for it, which has some characters at the top, I see a play button, and then some links at the bottom to like various pages. So we'll try the same tactics that we did on the last page. We'll press the Q key to go to the main region. There is no main region on this page. There isn't on this page either. So let's try H for heading them. There are no headings on this page. There's no heading either. Okay, but I did see a play button. So let's use B to go to the button. There are no buttons on this page. Okay, so it's not a real button then. But maybe we can find if there are any focusables at all by pressing the tab key. Privacy policy link. Wow. Well, I'll use my mouse to quickly mute that. That's very annoying. So for some reason, music started playing as soon as I pressed the tab key. I did hear Jaws announced the privacy policy, which is a link in the footer that tells me that on this page, there are no focusables before the footer. So I won't be able to play this game with Jaws or with a keyboard. I can read the privacy policy. I don't know how much fun that will be, but those are my options on the new website. Okay, let's, let's get back to our slides. So, here we have bucks bunny asking the nerve locks. What's up, Doug. Do you remember the three questions that we started with at the beginning. The first one was does corporations promising to be accessible translate into accessible websites. And no, no, it does not. And bucks bunny here seems to agree with us. If accessibility isn't made a requirement, then the end result won't be accessible. Regardless of how much corporations pledge to be. If corporations don't care more than we should, at no point did the original team ask the suits if they could make their fancy website accessible. They just did it. As Michael Jordan here says, you guys had the special stuff inside of you all along. You don't have to ask for permission to make something accessible. It's part of your job. Accessibility isn't a feature. It's not something extra. It's been a core component of the web and it always has been ever since its invention. So if you're not sure if what you made is accessible, a good way to test it is to start with things that we demoed in this talk. For example, you could use a keyboard to see if you can get to all of the controls. Can you see the focus outline. Can you also activate those controls with the keyboard. The second question we asked was have two decades worth of experience and tooling made the web more accessible. Well, yes and no. For users, new tools such as voiceover and draws definitely help to make the web more accessible. For developers, the amount of new tools we need to learn does sometimes make us jacks of old trades and masters of none. On one hand, it is a hard line to walk. We do need to learn more tools. They said all of us like playing with shiny new toys when working on our weekend projects. That said, we do have to take time to master tools that are definitely not going to go anywhere. With general development that can be getting to know the accessibility tab in DevTools and using it to check an element semantics. And of course, it definitely means learning HTML. As we have seen a website created 25 years ago using HTML and inline styling where developer knew how to use proper tags works with a keyboard to this day. And on the other hand, we have a brand new website where the developer did not bother with proper tags and just turned everything into a div. And that website does not work with a keyboard. So learn about landmarks such as main and use correct headings to subdivide your document. And most importantly use proper tags. If something is a table, use the table tag, not a div. Our last question was, is the new Space Jam movie better than the old one? And no, it's not. When Jenny and I watched the movie in preparation for this talk, our feeling throughout was basically the emotion that Bugs Bunny is sharing here. Just scared and in doubt of what's going on. Sadly, the new website is a much better either. But maybe we can fix that. So remember the fake button that we looked at earlier. Maybe we can actually fix it now. Let's inspect our button that we changed. And so what we did earlier was we added a role attribute, we added an aria label and we added a tab index. We also removed the property that was removing the focus outline. But we don't need to do all of these things to make something accessible. So for example, we don't need to use the role button. We also don't need to use tab index. We might want to use aria label to provide an accessible name. We could also put it inside to have as contents of the content can provide the name, but using our label is fine in this situation. But as we noticed though, this button didn't work, even though we added the semantics and the tab index, which was because of the event listeners. So how could we work around that. What we could try is to use, as Kenny mentioned, proper HTML tags. So instead of using a div to create a button. Maybe we can use an element that was made for it. If only such a thing existed. It does. We have the button tag or the button element. So let's change this div into a button. We still have our aria label for the name. So we should be able to do this demo again. So on the website, I'll press the tab. I see the focus outline on the button. So hopefully it works now. I'll press return and see what happens. So without changing or without adding any event listeners, just by simply changing the div to a button, we made this work. Who would have known that changing a different to a button would make the web more accessible. With that, I just want to say that's all folks. Thank you very much.

So it's time to talk athletics on the score this week and I'm delighted to say to join a meet to talk about the return and getting back involved in sport again is Dermot McGranahan and he of course is regional development officer for the northwest with athletics. Arnand Dermot, it's good to see you and good to talk to you again. Hi Aisin, yeah, good to see you, it's been a while and it's good to get back, you know, hopefully we'll get the shoe in the road this time, you know. Well literally you guys are back on track this week, so you're a couple of days in since the return and very much welcome Dermot. Yeah absolutely, Aisin, it's been a long time since Christmas, you know and obviously we're back now, we started on Monday there so looking good. The feedback from the club so far has been huge, you know, it's been all positive, you know, we're obviously a bit of fear of wanting to be lost out in a wee bit of engagement really, but I think looking and listening to everybody that's been huge to Manford and everybody's back and obviously working together and good engagement over the last two days, you know. Yeah so then how do you go about organising and running activities now at the minute this week because there's a lot of things that you have to implement, isn't that correct Dermot? Yeah absolutely, things have changed I would say and it's going to be changed for a while, I think the normal has sort of changed, but you know coaches and all aspects of sport adapt very quickly, you know and I think you know obviously we have the pods of 15 that we've got to try and work as best we can, you know obviously everybody's circumstances are different so the pods are key, but the big question a lot of people are asking is how many pods are there? So that all depends on your circumstances really, I think it's a case, everybody's case scenario is different, you know, take for instance, you know you have Big Area in Lerner County, you have Big Area in Finvally, you know where like the legs of Finvally last day had 300 people, Ross's AC on Monday night I think at over 200, same as Lerner County, same as Lifford's, but you know the big story of possibly with the legs of Olympian who turned the wee bit out of Glen Swally out there and you know I just seen a few pictures of that in McCarrapar, you know so whatever comes, whatever suits, the big one is obviously the Covid screening, obviously the back and track, the app for the screening more so than anything else into the tracing, so that's the new things that's been brought on there in the Covid questionnaire so that your circumstances is good and health-wise, you know, so yeah certainly the role of a coach has changed somewhat compared to what it was two or three years ago then, Dermot, there's a lot more involved in it now and there's a lot more you have to learn about. Absolutely, a bit of a lesson as I said, I've seen people adapt very quickly, the kids understand, you know, the big one obviously is, you know, getting protocols in place from day one and I think, you know, what's the county board and the new organisation and everything else, we were ahead of the game, you know, and things is the protocols are in place and there should be no fear whatsoever, we are back on track and as I said, to reassure parents, to reassure coaches, that clubs are doing their best and has all the protocols in place. Dermot, obviously you were organising and implementing virtual challenges and creating different virtual events for right across the county and the great thing about this was athletics, Arnhem and Dublin, Seymour Duesges and Donny Gall were at them that decided to run it nationally. Absolutely, yeah, I'll tell you what, we have a new committee now in Donny Gall chaired by Michael Galvin from the other county, doing great work and the big one is he's keeping the meetings nice and short, which is important, but doing massive work, the likes of Mark Connelly driven out of affairs, Pat the Galvin senior competition, Michael Low doing a massive, massive job in coaching development. That's not the only one, it's a real good strong committee, obviously through my own role as RDO, pushing out, working with Michael, working with the whole team, working with the county board, rolling out challenges throughout the year and even before Christmas, you know, and as you say, I've seen athletics out in, has contacted myself and others to try and get it rolled out throughout the country, so we had a big, massive engagement before Christmas in the Cross Country Challenge, we ended up, we had over 5,000 athletes competed in the Cross Country Challenge and the new one this year we've done in February there, which was a six-week challenge covering, you know, more of a run, jump and throw sort of thing, you know, and it's been massive as well and big engagement done at all. So, you know, as I say, we're ahead of the game up here, we're leading the role out here and having no qualms, through all that, I think we're going to increase some numbers, you know, a lot of people talking about decreasing numbers, but I think we're going to answer numbers from it, you know. Yeah, a lot of sports athletes are concerned about the drop-off and I was chatting to a guy this week who was discussing the age group off from 16 to 18, and that sport and sessions and everything was all organised for them and all they did, they showed up, so it was very hard for a youngster of that age to do something on their own. So, but you're sort of saying now that with all these youngsters who have been involved in lockdown and have possibly struggled that they're quite eager to get back again, and you're going to see numbers grow rather than depleted numbers coming back? Yeah, that's for sure. Like from what I'm seeing, what I'm hearing, especially really, what a lot of people don't understand, the coach's role, no matter what sport you're involved in, actually, is huge, you know. No matter what sport it is, you know, especially through athletics, the engagement that coaches rolled out and fired out to the parents of home, who the parents had to go with in and take their kids for that session or whatever, maybe on the road, maybe in the grass, maybe in the woods or whatever, but they have more or less seen now what what we do as coaches, we do other clubs no matter what sport, you know. They've seen the positive feedback from their athletes and we've seen the positive feedback from parents, but the engagement has been huge, and I think that, you know, no matter where we're at here with us, the mental health and physical health that parents see is what we've been doing, and they have no problem getting them back in it again. That's amazing the feedback we've been getting from parents, more SN, we realize what you should have done now, what you should have been doing all along. That's been a tough job, but we're so glad to see you back. I thought I was talking to someone else this week as well. It suggested that athletics now on the return can prove hugely beneficial, not just for athletics, but for those involved in other sports as well. Yes, the big message I would put now is not to be panicking. Kids have been off for a long time, no matter what sport it is, natural fitness is always going to be there, but the big thing is the message I would try to everybody, all clubs, all sport, no matter what it is, especially athletics, will be the case that we've known the actual competition right through the end of August, or the middle of August, sorry, we have regionals coming through in July, but our county championships and one thing or another is not until, we're going to get six or eight weeks of training, so not to be panicking, but yes, for other sports, obviously, no matter what sport you have to play, you have to be able to run. So I would say gradually, gradually, get your athletes fit, get them back in, get nice and easy, get them back relaxed, because the standard of fitness has gone way, way down, so I would say get the fun environment going first, to get your numbers back, and as I say, get it back nice and easy and back in track as easily as possible, you know. Yeah, and there's well there about national competitions coming up later in the year, German, obviously, they are a huge target for those who are very, very committed to athletics and want to do well representing their club, and indeed the county too, but we're all hoping that things will be sorted out maybe a wee bit better come that stage. Are you confident that you will have nationals later in the year? Yeah, well, I know we talked last year about this, actually, but you know, the big thing is that we haven't placed this year, obviously it has to do with figures, really. If we can get our figures, we hear the magic words of level three or level two, you know, we here in Donegal are more or less set up for like one of the initiatives that Mark Connelly set up as triangular meets, you know, which we can, if we can get, we're allowed to have participation or competition with 200 people, you know, these trying meets is going to be huge locally. County championships then obviously level two, we're looking, we're looking obviously 400 people for those, obviously regional championships is penciled in for July, and yes, the national championships are on the first three weekends for juveniles around the first three weeks of August, so they are penciled in. Obviously, it's to do with this rollout of the vaccines and wanting another, and that's going to be key, actually, you know. Yeah, just finally then, as you with these dates and levels to come back in where you can implement your strategy and get competitions back again, and by the way you're talking about how the Donegal board are working at the moment, is it fair to say then that Donegal are in a very, very solid position going forward when all this action is set to come back? Yeah, absolutely. And the likes of, you know, I can't say enough about the likes of Michael Logo from Rassus, the coaches forums that he's doing every two weeks, you know, bringing on the ground coaches, juvenile coaches and getting them ahead of the game, having discussion about training ideas, sharing ideas. Listen, it's not happening anywhere else, it's through my areas and I'm trying to do that. You know, then the other ones, club captains, senior club captains, putting a presentation together at the minute, trying to help the senior clubs together, maybe this rollout of county championship, making it more, making it a better environment, county level and prestigious to compete, you know, at the end of the AGA and you're competing for your county, let's do the same for athletics, and that's what's happening here at the minute, and I have no qualms about it, that our sport is getting stronger and stronger, you know, and that's all down to the people that's working on the ground. At the end of the day, we're all working together. The likes of Patsy there is who's been promoting the sport of athletics for years and years and years. There's so many other people doing it now and it's great to see, you know. It's never good to talk to you and good to see you as well, and the best of luck and your continued success in developing athletics in the Northwest and obviously back on the track now. Hopefully we'll get these dates back soon and levels as well to see real serious competition taking place. Thanks. Yeah, actually just one more, actually, just on that, just on the junior element of it, you know, just catching up on that. We find that obviously our juniors and our under-23s and our drop-off has reached huge importance to us, and those are the athletes that's missed out for the last couple of years, you know. It's coming on to that across roads and college and one thing or another. So what we're trying to do, obviously with the rollout and multi-null, we're actually looking for a few exemptions for people who are looking for standards for European competition, because the European youth is on this year, so our youth has just been cancelled. The juniors and the under-23s, ones in Estonia and the other ones in Norway. So that's what we're trying to do as well, actually, trying maybe to get a few exemptions so that people can travel to Northern Ireland or to England or whatever for trying to create a standard, you know. Okay. Thanks, Jeremy. Thanks, Aishin. Thank you.


One of the key discoveries in the invention of calculus was the generalized binomial theorem. Isaac Newton claimed to have discovered it around 1664, but didn't describe the binomial theorem itself until the June 13, 1676 letter to Henry Oldenburg, secretary of the Royal Society. And in a letter of October 24, 1676, Newton explained how he discovered it. Newton considered the areas under a sequence of curves. 1 minus x squared to the 0, 1 minus x squared to the 1, 1 minus x squared to the 2nd, and so on, then began looking for patterns to find 1 minus x squared to power 1 half. So in modern terms we might note that the area under the curve 1 minus x squared to the 0 is 1 minus x squared to the 1 is 1 minus x squared squared, and so on. But now let's look carefully at our results. So the first thing we notice is the first term in every expansion is x. And so this suggests the first term in the expansion of 1 minus x squared to power 1 half should also be x. Next, notice the denominators and signs of all of the terms in all of our series form a predictable pattern. So we can focus on the unsigned numerators. So let's consider our numerators of the x-cube terms of 1 minus x squared to power n. If n is equal to 0, there's no x-cube term, so our numerator of the coefficient is 0. If n equals 1, our numerator is 1. If n equals 2, our numerator is 2. If n equals 3, 4, or 5, our numerators are 3, 4, or 5. And it's pretty easy to see that there's this nice pattern emerging. The numerators are n, the exponent. And this suggests that for 1 minus x squared to power 1 half, the x-cube term will be negative 1 half over 3 x cubed, negative 1 6 x cubed. Now let's look at the unsigned numerators of the x to the 5 terms of our expansions. So if our exponent is 0 or 1, the x to the 5th term has coefficient 0. If n equals 2, the coefficient has numerator 1. And for 3, 4, and 5, the coefficients are 3, 6, and 10. Now remember Newton is learning mathematics at a time where these number properties are part of everybody's education. So Newton actually recognizes this series. These numerators are the triangular numbers, which are generated by the formula k times k plus 1 over 2. Now we have to do a slight reparameterization here, since n equals 2 corresponds to the triangular number k equal to 1, we can let k equal n minus 1 and generate our numerators by the formula n minus 1 times n over 2. And so if n equals 1 half, our numerator will be, and so the x to the 5th term, notice they all have denominator 5 and an x to the 5th, and the numerator is the triangular number, so the x term will be minus 1 8th over 5 x to the 5th, or minus 1 40th x to the 5th. Consider the unsigned numerators of the x to the 7th terms of 1 minus x squared to the n. These are. Now you might have recognized the previous sequence as the set of triangular numbers. This one's a little bit more obscure, and Newton actually knew these as what are known as the pyramidal numbers, which could be generated by the formula k times k plus 1 times k plus 2 over 1 times 2 times 3. And again, since n equals 3 corresponds to the k equals 1 pyramidal number, then k is equal to n minus 2, and we can generate our numerators by the formula n minus 2 times n minus 1 times n over 1 times 2 times 3. And so if n equals 1 half, our numerator should be, and we see that our x to the 7th terms are negative and denominator 7 with numerator 116. At this point, we look for a pattern within the pattern. So remember, our first numerator was just n. So n, well, that's equal to n over 1. Our second numerator came from the triangular numbers n minus 1 times n over 2. Well, that's just n over 1 times n minus 1 over 2. Our third numerator came from the pyramidal numbers n minus 2 n minus 1 times n over 1 times 2 times 3. But we can rewrite that as, which is a really remarkable pattern. Remember, these give us the numerators of our coefficients. The denominators and the signs are going to be based on the term. So what's a mathematician who doesn't make conjectures? Based on this, Newton claimed that the successive numerators could be found in the partial products of, and it was only later that Newton realized he could interpolate the terms of the series itself. To verify this work, Newton considered the expansion of 1 minus x squared to power 1 half. So the kth term in the expansion will have the form ak1 to power 1 half minus k times minus x squared to power k, where ak is the product of the first k factors of this thing, starting with k equal to 0. Now, for n equals 1 half and k equals 0, we define our first coefficient to be a0 equal to 1. And so our first term is 1, the coefficient, 1 to power 1 half minus 0 times minus x squared to power 0 or 1. The next coefficient will be the first factor, 1 half over 1 or 1 half. And so our next term will be, so for the next term, the next coefficient will be the product of the first two factors here. Again, n equals 1 half, so that's 1 half over 1 times 1 half minus 1 over 2, which is, and so our next term will be minus 1 eighth times minus x squared squared or minus 1 eighth x to the fourth. The third coefficient will be the product of the first three factors. And so our next term will be, the next coefficient will be the product of the first four factors, which gives us, and so on. And Newton verified that this was actually the case by considering what happens when we square the series. And if we do that, we find we do get 1 minus x squared with the remaining terms vanishing by continuation of the series to infinity. In other words, while if we do this expansion, we do get additional terms. If we include the next term of our series, we'll eliminate some of these extra terms. Now remember, Newton communicated these results by letter in 1676, and so the first actual appearance of the binomial theorem was in the treatise on algebra 1685 by John Wallace, where Wallace includes Newton's result.

If you're Muslim and you know it, say Allah. Allah. Mashallah. You guys knew the song. Allah like one. Subhan Allah. How is that possible? Mashallah. You guys ready again?

Take beer. Allahu Akbar. Allahu Akbar. Masha'Allah. You guys are the best. This is a stone we do with some of the young kids in our family. You say, how does it go? I forgot, it's been a while. Allahumma salli ala Rasulillah. Anyway, it'll come to me. It's escaping me. It ran away and hid. Aiden, what are we going to do? We have to find it. All right, here you guys ready for the quiz? Okay, here's the quiz. You have to raise your hand to answer. You don't even know the question. SubhanAllah. All right, here's the question. The first question is, who knows the name of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, father and mother. Okay, you give the mother. Allahu Akbar. You give the father. Allahu Akbar. Okay, who knows the name of the Prophet's uncle, sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, who protected him from the Quraish and all his enemies. You know Asya. What's his name? Abu Talib. Allahu Akbar. You knew that. You knew that too, didn't you? Al-Bibi. Allahu Akbar. Your Talib? He said it was Abu Talib. Abu Talib, he knew. Allahu Akbar. Congratulations. Right hand, that hand, that one. That one. That one. Give me that hand boy. All right, okay, here we go. You guys ready? All right, who knows the name of the first person who became a Muslim? Yeah. All right. Okay. I mean, you can't argue with that.  Let me, that's right. Subhanallah. That was like, she threw me a curve ball. All right. Let me rephrase that. Who knows the first one to become a follower of the Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, someone who didn't answer before. Your name. Yes, who was it? Amir, that was his mother. Aisha? No, Aisha came much later. All right, someone who didn't. Did you answer a question yet? You did? All right. You answered a question also. All right. Who was it? Who was it? Allahu Akbar, radiallahu anha.  Khadija, radiallahu anha. Okay. Who was the Prophet s cousin who was one of the first people to become Muslim? Okay, she didn't answer yet. No, but he was one of the first Muslims, so you get partial credit. Did you answer a question yet? So who was it? Ali, radiallahu anha. Don't say yes, radiallahu anha. Allahu Akbar. Mashallah. Okay, you guys, we gotta up the game here. Okay, here we go. You guys ready? All right. Who was the sword of Allah? You guys, you guys, of course you know this young man right here. Khalid bin Al-Waleed, sayfullah and Maslul. Yes. He was the Mayan of Allah, scared to kufah. Okay, Bismillah. Okay, Mashallah. Are you guys ready for the next one? All right. When the Prophet went from Mecca, sallallahu anhu wa sallam, to Medina, what was that trip called? What was that journey called? From Mecca to Medina. It was called the, yeah, you say it. Go ahead. Tell all of us. Are you shy? Shyness is good. Oh, you didn't hear anything? Oh, he was telling you. So what are you guys talking? What were you discussing? All right. What was the journey called? Asya. And Hijra. Allah Akbar. Man, you guys are sharper than cheddar cheese. Allah Akbar. Okay, here we go. All right. All right. Here we go. Here we go. Here we go. All right. We're going to get a hard one now. When the Prophet, sallallahu anhu wa sallam, went from Mecca to Medina, before he built the big masjid, his masjid, masjid and nabawi, he built another masjid first. What was that masjid called? You know? Really? Allah Akbar. And you're smarter than the average bear. It was called? Who knows? Yes. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. How did you get so smart? I think I know. You know how you got so smart? You had a lot of smart food, but not the popcorn type. Organic, free range, grass-fed, cage-free cornflakes. All right. Man, you guys are really fantastic. Now, you guys are ready for this one. Who was the person who went with the Prophet, sallallahu anhu wa sallam, when he made the hijrah?  I'm going to say one, two, three, and then all of you say it since a lot of hands went up. One, two, three. Is Ali or Abu Bakr? Abu Bakr. Ali was the one that slept in the bed to treat the evil kufah of the Quraysh. He's in there sleeping and he's getting away because Ali was in the bed. But Abu Bakr was with him, radiallahu anhu. Okay. When Ali, Abu Bakr, radiallahu anhu and the Prophet, sallallahu anhu wa sallam, were hiding. This is a compound question. That means it's like two or three questions in one. Where were they hiding? And why didn't the Quraysh believe they were in the place they were hiding it? Okay. Bismillah. The cave, the cave, the cave. Did you guys hear that? You guys knew that also, right? You're just shy to say it. That was fantastic. You just have to drop the hero part and you're good to go. Allah Akbar. Man, you guys are really, really smart. So the Prophet and Abu Bakr, they're getting away. But then one of the Quraysh, Islam was Suraka, bin Malik. They caught up with them and he wanted to take them back. But then something miraculous happened and he knew it was hopeless. So what happened when Suraka, radiallahu anhu, because he became Muslim afterwards, caught up with the Prophet, sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, and he had his intention and his mind was made up to take him back. What miraculous thing happened that caused him to turn around? That was the answer to the previous question. But that's cool though. You have credit for answering an earlier question.  Okay, so what happened? Allah Akbar, the feet of the horse were sinking in the sand so he knew that Allah didn't want him to get the Prophet. So he gave, he gave up. And then, okay, what did the Prophet say to him? That one day what's going to happen? That's a hard one. What did he say? So why are you raising your hand? Or are you scratching? You're stretching. One, two, three, four, you're doing your workout. Okay, he said to him, one day you're going to wear the bracelets of the king of Persia. You knew that one? Yeah, okay. So you get a quarter of question for answering after I answer it. And then one day it happened. And then he put the bracelets on. He was running through the streets of Medina during the time of Omar Rumi Allah. What did Omar say to him? He said, give the bracelets back. The Prophet said, you wear them, not have them. So he had to give them back. But he was happy. So how many, what's your name, young lady? You don't have a name? What's your name? What's the name of the third Khalifa of the Abbasid state? Is that your name, not his name? She's shy. If you're shy is a good thing. Do you know what? You're going to tell me your name. Nuseba. If you're shy you should be happy. Because the Prophet was shy. You know what the Prophet said about shyness? He said, He said, sallallahu alaihi wasallam, al-imanu bil'un wa sab'un as-shuaba. That faith has 70 summer branches, like a big tree with a lot of branches with Nuseba. He said, al-imanu bil'un wa sab'un as-shuaba, like 70 something, 6, 5, 77 branches. Hafdaluha, the best of them. Is to say la ilaha illa Allah. Can you say that? You're not shy anymore. Allah wait for it. The lowest branch is to remove the harmful thing from the path.  But when you do it, you say la ilaha illa Allah. You know why? Because if you move the bottle from the path, that's removing the harmful thing from the path. So no one goes over and loses control of the bike and falls out and skins their knees up and the palms of their hands. I've done it before. It's not pleasant. Like sand is in the palm of your hand. That rhymes. I'm a poet. You didn't know it. I had sand in the palm of my hands. And then you say la ilaha illa Allah and then you join together between the highest and the lowest branch of faith at the same time. You say la ilaha illa Allah and you remove the harmful thing from the path. Then you know what he said after that? He said shyness is a branch of faith.  Allah Akbar. And Allah loves you. Allah Akbar. So what was your name again? Nuseba. Okay mashallah. Look at that. You only a little bit shy now. Allah Akbar. Everyone say Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar. Allah Akbar kabira. No, kabira. Wa alhamdulillahi. Ka? Ka what? He said it before. Ka Thira. Wa Subhan Allahi. Bukratan. Wa As-Sila. So in the morning and evening you say alhamdulillah. So now you know what we're going to do now? We're going to do thicker. Know what thicker is? We say la ilaha illa Allah. And then it makes your hearts feel so good. So good Nuseba. You guys ready? One or two? One or two? One, two, three, go. La ilaha illa Allah. La ilaha illa Allah. La ilaha illa Allah. La ilaha illa Allah. La ilaha illa Allah. La ilaha illa Allah. La ilaha illa Allah. La ilaha illa Allah. La ilaha illa Allah. Mohamed Rasulullah. La ilaha illa Allah.  So I'll say the words and then you guys say La ilaha illa Allah Muhammad Rasulullah Are you ready?  Are you very very ready? Are you really very ready? I mean positively ready Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Allahu Akbar Kabir walhamdulillahi Are you very very ready?  Yes I envy the sightless trees that gave I envy the sightless trees that gave I envy the sightless trees that gave I envy the sightless trees that gave I envy the sightless trees that gave All right, you guys ready? So one, two, one, two, three, go. You guys ready? One, two, one, two, three, go. So one, two, three, go. All right, we're going to do one more thing. You guys ready? We're ready, ready, ready. Okay. So first we're going to make more thicker. We're going to make a thicker like this. We're going to make salawat. Salawat like this. Allahumma salli wa sallim. Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa alihi wa sallim. Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa alihi wa sallim. Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa alihi wa sallim. Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa alihi wa sallim. Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa alihi wa sallim. Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa alihi wa sallim. Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa alihi wa sallim. Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa alihi wa sallim. Allahumma Salli ala Sayyidina Muhammadun wa Ali wa Sallaam Allahumma Salli ala Sayyidina Muhammadun wa Ali wa Sallaam Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala Ali wa salam. Allahumma salli ala Sayyidina Muhammad wa ala Ali wa sahbihi wa salam. Assalamu alaikum young man. Assalamu alaikum. Assalamu alaikum. What's your name young man? Yusuf. Yusuf. Assalamu alaikum Tawfiq Ali. Assalamu alaikum. Assalamu alaikum. Assalamu alaikum. Assalamu alaikum. Assalamu alaikum. Yusuf. How old are you? Five and a half. Five and a half. Allahumma salli alaikum. And do you like school? Yeah. You're home school? Or you go to kindergarten? Kindergarten. Kindergarten that the bees are disappearing? Maybe here's a bee. Teaching you knowing the bees are disappearing. Because a lot of problems. But Yusuf right? Yusuf you're making the bees disappear too. Did you know that? Yeah, well I'm telling you making the bees disappear. You know why? Because you only get A's. Allahumma salli alaikum. He's making the bees disappear. Because you only get A's. He doesn't get any B's. So the bees are disappearing. Oh yeah, alright. That's like a Seed Abdul Hakim Marad joke. It's so sophisticated you get it next week. You're like eating dinner. And everyone thinks she went crazy. Like yeah last week Seed Abdul Hakim told this joke. And I just don't know what he was talking about. Allah Akbar. You guys have been great. So you have to wrap it up. Say goodbye to all my new friends. But we'll meet again inshallah. I'm doing that. You got who knows any poetry. You guys have to tell your parents to get you the poetry program. It starts with the little poems. Because bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. So as you go through your first grade, second grade, third grade, fourth grade. You learn a lot of poems. Do you want to hear a poem? Robert Frost. Stopping by the woods on a snowy evening. You guys ready? Whose woods these are? So you think of woods? I think I know. His house is in the village though. He will not see me stopping here to watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer to stop without a farmhouse near between the woods and frozen lake the longest evening of the year. He gives his harness bell a shake. To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sounds the sweep of easy wind and downy flakes. The woods are lovely dark and deep but I have promises to keep and miles to go before I sleep and miles to go before I sleep. Miles to go before I sleep. On that note. So then you get bigger and bigger poems to get Casey at the bat. Casey, mighty Casey. The outlook was quite gloomy for the mudville nine that day. The score stood for the two with but one ending left to play. That's the beginning. Then they want Casey to come to the bat. But Flynn preceded Casey. As did Jimmy Blake. The first one was a Lulu and the second was a cake. But when Flynn let fly a single much to the wonderment of all and Blake the most despise it for the cover off the ball. Huh? That's the actual poem. Casey at the bat. Then yeah, then he struck out at the end. Somewhere in this favorite land the sun is shining bright. Somewhere the bands are playing and somewhere hearts are light. Somewhere the children play and somewhere somewhere people shout but there is no joy in mudville for mighty Casey has struck out. He missed the wall. How about the jabberwocky?  There's something you have to avoid at all costs. Except when you read the jabberwocky. It was brilliant again. The slimy toves did a viral and gimbal in the wave. Oh, Mimsy wore the borough golds in the moment rafts out grave. Beware the bender snatch my son the claws that scratch the cause that look at the jaws that catch beware the juke juke bird and shun the foomies bender snatch. And then so he took his vorpal blade in hand long sign and long time the man some foe he sought. Then rested he by the tum tum tree and stood a while then fought and then he got the jabberwocky. One two one two and through and through the vorpal blade when Snickers snatched.

Qala Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, ad dunya sijnu al mu'min wa jannatul kafir. Who's going to say it by themselves, from top to the bottom? For him, of course. Ya Allah. Don't take the money, no startle. Qala Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, ad dunya sijnu al mu'min wa jannatul kafir.

Qala Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, ad dunya sijnu al mu'min wa jannatul kafir. Qala Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, ad dunya sijnu al mu'min wa jannatul kafir. Take beer! Take beer! Take beer! You know what that means? It means the messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him said, the world is a prison for the believer and paradise for the disbeliever. Why would the world be a prison for the believers? What happens when you're in prison? Can you do anything you want anytime you want when you're in prison? No, you have to wake up when the warden, the warden is the one who controls the whole prison. You have to wake up when the warden says to wake up. You have to eat when the warden says eat.  You want to eat a nice biryani with samosas and some kabbali on the side, but they give you beans and rice because that's what the warden says you got to eat. So the believer in the world doesn't do what he or she wants when they want anytime they want. We have to do what Allah says we do. When he says to do it, like Ramadan, Allah says you can eat until the day breaks, the crack of dawn. When you start to see the light of the sun in the sky, a little bit, then you can't eat anymore. So Allah is the warden and the dunya is the prison and we're the prisoners. And if you don't believe in Allah, you do whatever you want. So it's like you're in jannah. But when the next life, those who thought they were in heaven are going to be in the other place. What's the other place called? Where? Jahannam. Yeah, yeah, they're going to be in Jahannam. It's not going to be a good day. It's not going to be a good day. As a caffeine, you know, for those who rejected faith and thought they were in jannah in the world, it's going to be a difficult, hard day. And that's why it's a prison for the believers. What's your name, young lady? What's your name? Yeah. Halima. Halima. What do you want to say to everyone to give them advice? You know something. You know how much wood could witch up, chuck in wood, chuck wood, chuck wood. You don't know how much wood would chuck, chuck, chuck in wood, chuck wood, chuck wood. I know.  So Halima, what's your favorite subject in school? You don't know much about the Middle Ages. You look at the pictures and turn the pages. Math? You like math? Alright, what's the square root of pi? What? The square root of pi is apple. Apple pi. Math. Math is there, though. Give us how much is 11 times 11? Yeah, how much? 110. No, not 110. What was it? Oh, 121. You're smarter than the average bear. Alright, what's 12 times 12? Wait, Halima, that's Halima. She likes math. That's an easy one. Alright, what's 12 times 12? How much is 2 times 2? No, not 4 times 2. Math is your favorite subject. Yeah, but we want to do it like we're going to break it down to its constituent elements. So you have the 12 and the 12. So 12 and 12, how many 2s do you have? No. Two 12s. So you do the 2 times 2 twice. How much is 2 times 2? And how much is 2 times 2 a second time? You do it again. Like 2 times 2 once is 4. 2 times 2 another time is 6. Oh, look at this 6. Wait, I'm asking wrong. No, no. How much is 2 times 2? 4. Alright, that's one time. How much is 2 times 2? 4. 4. How much is 1 times 1? 1. And what's the 1 and the 2 4s? Listen to this young man. Listen to Yahya. How much is 2 times 2? 2 times 2 is 4. How much is 2 times 2? 4. How much is 1 times 1? Because you got the 1. And so what is the result of the 2 times 2 once and 2 times 2 twice and 1 times 1? You said it before. 2. Wait, no. You said it first time. How much is 12 times 12? 1 times 12 is 144. Alright, so 2 times 2 is 4. 2 times 2 is 4. How much is 1? 144. Oh, I didn't get a year and a half. Do you know what I mean now? Yeah, no. You got it? Alright, so before I go, everyone has to be quiet because I'm going to give you guys... Alright, you got it. You got it. We believe you. We believe you. You got it.  Do you know what the award is called? The award is called the prestigious scarecrow award. The prestigious scarecrow award. What? I'm going to tell you right now. You know why all of you are well deserving of the prestigious scarecrow award? This is why. Like this scarecrow, each and every one of you is outstanding in your field. On that note, I bid you goodnight. As-salamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh. The parents will explain to you later. They'll break it down for you. Fatiha. Bismillah. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. I don't hear you guys. No saber, I don't hear you. Fatiha. One. Two. One, two, three. A'ubu billahi. Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem. Alhamdulillahi wa barakatuh. Alhamdulillahi wa barakatuh. Fiyah khana abudu wa iyyah khana saaim. Ehlina sraq wa sada lal adhina wa gub. So you guys have a wonderful night. You guys are going to sleep here in the masjid? No? Is she like Halima said yes. Halima is the boss, you gotta listen to her. You know there was once a lady she could see like three days out into the desert. She had a good eyesight. So they listened so you have to listen to Halima. You know what her name was? Her name was Habami. Habami. And she looked out in the desert and she saw three days ahead. She said there's a little army. They're coming towards the village. Get ready. And they looked out. They didn't see anything. And then the next day she looked out and she said they're getting closer. Get ready. And they looked out. They didn't see anything. And then she said they're one day away. Get ready. They're going to destroy our village. And they looked out. They didn't see anything. Then the next day they came and they wrecked the village. They took all the camels and sheep away. They wrecked the village. And so the poor wrote a poem about Habami. You know what the poor said? The poor said, That if it wasn't for some disturbance in the night, the little birdie would have left the sweetness of sleep. If Habami says something, you better believe her. For verily, the word of truth is that spoken by Habami. No, I said that poem. So I could say this. If she said Halima, she said Halima. So if Halima tells you to do something, better do it. Because the word of truth is that spoken by Halima. Peace be upon you.


This video is in response to a question that I asked on my YouTube channel I've kind of talked about it before but I thought I'd just do a quick short video a quick short video on the topic And I'm not dissing any other distro, but someone asked me why I choose Debian as my main distribution for my computers and There's a few few reasons and the main reason one of the main reasons is their repositories the repositories are very full More software packages than most other distros or at least many other distros I should say I'm not saying there aren't other ones out there with more packages They do a great job maintaining them they have Debian unstable Testing and stable you can't call something stable unless it's thoroughly been tested not just by developers but by lots of people So everything has to go through Unstable and testing before it gets to stable So that means stable might be a little bit older, but you know that it's it's it's stable So if you have a very important system Debian stables the way to go now on my desktop my laptop for probably at least five years Now I've been running Debian unstable and very rarely do I ever have any problems so There's that but definitely it's great to Have that stable release for a system that's very important a server Maybe that you're running a business on or something like that And most other distributions don't do that that model where they have untested stable and Untested unstable tested and stable, but a lot of distributions are based off Debian So they benefit from that anyway, and so I think it's great that Debian does this so definitely Their repositories and a lot of things to do with the repositories again The number of packages the fact that things are stable and they also break their repositories down into free and non-free Repositories so if you want to make sure that you only stick with free software you can choose ones that are under an open license where certain Things where you might want to use usually drivers and other proprietary stuff You know that you're not installing them if you leave those repositories out and then Another thing I like about Debian is just that you have options to do you know a desktop install Or I have which I've never done I I like that you can do a minimal stop install with Debian You can get yourself a little 10 megabyte file and do a network install and it's fairly minimal And then I can install software as I need it Distributions like Ubuntu and Linux Mint are great for out of the box a usage They have pretty much everything that you'll need on a common system But you'll have a lot of things that you don't necessarily use because everyone needs different things So to use those for system installs for myself I don't normally do because it's very easy again with package managers to if I'm doing something and I'm like Oh, I need to open you know an office file and I barely really use the Libre office I can install it in like a minute and I'm good to go So I just install software as I need it and I also have a script That does an install and my default settings that I like on my system So once I install Debbie and I run that and it installs the stuff that I always want install and then beyond that I install stuff as I go But going back to things like Linux Mint and and Ubuntu Again, they're great for live CDs live USBs because when you're running a system like that, you know You plug it in you want to be working, you know, and I think that's great So basically there's three main distros I like again for installs on my systems My desktop in my laptop. I use Debian If but I carry around a flash drive, which actually has multiple distributions on it But for live systems, I usually use Linux Mint And if I'm installing for somebody else that I don't necessarily I'm not going to sit there and get the system All set up how they want it and they may not know, you know What they want which a lot of users don't I'll install Linux Mint usually with Xfce because that's the desktop I've been running for a couple of years and I used to switch my desktop interface a lot And my window manager and stuff like that, but I've been pretty much set with Xfce It's somewhat lightweight and very simple and straightforward and a lot of the programs use are linked to the desktop specifically so Linux Mint would be my choice for live USB and installing for friends and then a third third distribution I like is Slitaz which I use which I probably pronounce wrong. I've done videos on in the past It's a very lightweight about 30 megabytes Operating system with a full desktop and basic tools and I'll use that on lighter weight and older systems And I think it's great. Another great lightweight one is on tiny core And I think tiny core is great, too I just usually go with Slitaz because I'm Just more comfortable with it because I've used it more. I find it a little more For something so minimal a little more out of the box ready Tiny core is truly like a very very minimal system. I think it's only like 10 megabytes Maybe 15 with a desktop. Don't quote me on that, but it's something like that But then again, you know both of them once you start installing stuff it gets larger But those are great lightweight or if you just want to run from RAM Which you can do with other operating systems, but since they're so lightweight they copy over to RAM pretty fast But Slitaz I definitely just a little bit nicer for for beginners like if I knew someone who who Never used Linux before or just isn't big on you know Computers in general, but they have a really old machine which still at that point I probably still would do Debian, but if I just wanted to install something quick Slitaz is probably where I go Tiny core probably had it seems like it's a little more developed a little more recognized Slitaz development seems slow, but it is constant So yeah, that's why I choose Debian and that's why I also like Linux Mint and Slitaz those are my three top distributions Let me know in the comments below what distros you like and why and again I did not make this video to criticize or recool or anything about other distributions Just why I choose what I choose and again Linux is links got Linux kernel and a basic Linux shell, you know, I'm pretty happy I mean obviously there's other things that are important, but Good to go after that Thanks for watching. Please visit filmsbychrist.com. It's Chris the caterer should be a link in the description I hope that you have a great day


three hits, two opposite field homeruns, six RBI. Why do you think you were so dialed in at the plate tonight? I got some mistakes, you know, the ball's over the plate. He didn't want to throw it there, so for my homers, anyways, the third hit was a pretty good pitch. But yeah, just able to set the tone, it was back and forth for a while there, so just enough to get us to win. What does a night like that feel like when you have that type of offensive success? Feels good, but after the first two, we were tired again, so it's like, I got to do more, I got to do more, so keep pushing the envelope to the end of the game, and yeah. You look at that eighth inning, you guys put up seven runs. How much do you credit guys like Gleber, Torres, that at bat with two outs to extend the inning, and Aaron Judge, who's behind me, running that one out to get two across? Amazing that bat by Gleber, and Marvin to keep us going, great a bat by him too, and then Speedy Judge over here getting two RBIs with the infield singles, so it's awesome. Joe Kelly clearly in a world of trouble out there, but were you surprised that Tony LaRusa brought in a lefty to face you in that situation? Yeah, but I mean, this pitch counts way up, so and I think it's only a second outing this year, so you got to do what you got to do sometimes. This pitching staff, your pitching staff has been great all season long, clearly struggled a little bit tonight. Did it feel good as an offense to be able to pick them up a little bit and still get this one? Oh yeah, oh yeah. It's going to be like that all year. If we don't show up one time, one game, they're going to lock it down and vice versa, but they battled all game. Thank you. Thank you.


Aba Mora of the Reposition People's Democratic Party PDP was announced as a new minority leader by the Senate President Gotswila Fabio during plenary on Tuesday. He replaced Senator Simon Owadikwan representing Plato North under the platform of a PDP who was sucked by the court on October 23. In everywhere, the exam is not here. We have Senator Adero, a very distinguished and rank senator, is there me not here. We have even the former speaker of the House of Representatives, the Senator Tamboa is there me not here. Taking cognizance of the number of senators in the minority caucus, you need to know that all you need to produce a leader is majority. If you are like 48 or 49 and 30 people have signed for one person, what is the magic that you say it should not be announced? If you are like 48 or 49 and 41 people have signed, what is the reason why you said the Senate President should not announce? It's not everybody that would agree, but majority have agreed. So I will listen to points of other, but I want you to bear something in mind. In my front, I have two papers, some are still signing, because not all of you have signed for Senator Aba Mora. He will also be upset for me to see somebody who has majority and what he actually needs will be like maybe 24 or 25 senators and he has up to 30. And then I will not announce it. And after, however ensued in the upper chamber when Senator Osita Ngu Enugu West PDP was announced, Senate Minority Whip replacing Senator Dalyntine Wokwacha of the Labour Party. Senator Okechuku is here from Enugu North rose to false denomination. His personal observation slash objection was backed by Senator Tony one year of the Labour Party. He will equally rose to challenge the sitting of three of the minority leadership to the PDP living in the Labour Party with no representation in the Senate leadership. You have done your worst Mr President. What do you mean by that? You have done your worst. You have done your worst. You have put us to the wall. Thank you. Yes. Many words. Many words. Many words. Many words. It's unfair! It's unfair! It's not about me. It's not about any party. It's not about the instance to subscribe. Thank you sir. After senators passified – one year a president Technical And I have seen about 41 signatures here saying that they have temporary replacement for the minority leader of the senate and this is a resolution of the minorities in favor of senator Abamuro. And I have seen that they have about 41 signatures to his credit as minority leader of the senate. And therefore I have the privilege to announce that the senator Abamuro will move forward as a minority leader of the senate. Thank you for watching the news updates.


3 Simple Steps to Create an Impressive Lesson Plan Planning a lesson is an essential task of the teaching profession. Knowing how and when to plan a lesson can be beneficial for both teacher and students. There are various theories on this topic. The three main approaches are fully planned lesson, freestyle improvisation, and somewhere between these two extremes. As described by Jim Scrivener, planning is essentially a thinking skill. The teacher anticipates situations or problems and tries to come up with a structuring framework. This increases his, her options throughout the course. 1. Choose a method. In this essay, I intend to firstly, introduce a basic model of a lesson plan according to the Engage Study Activate, ESA, method. Secondly, I will list different target groups, and lastly, I will explain how to adjust the plan to the needs of these groups. The Engage Study Activate method in lesson structuring was introduced by Jeremy Harmer. This method provides students with the necessary motivation for their learning journey, exposure to the language, and the opportunity to apply it in the classroom. The first phase of this approach is the Engage phase. This should be the warm-up phase for the students in order to get them thinking and speaking in English, and raising their interest by using materials and activities such as games, music, pictures, etc. The second phase is the Study phase. Here, the students focus on the language and its construction. The Study phase normally starts with elicitation, followed by presenting the subject of that very lesson, and the teacher concludes with a worksheet exercise. The third and final phase is the Activate phase. In this phase, students can freely use what they have learned focusing on fluency and with the help of activities such as role-plays, communication games, debates, etc. 2. Consider the type of audience. Planning a lesson can be challenging depending on what kind of student groups the instructor intends to teach. The four main groups are adult learners, individual learners, children, and business clients. For instance, preparing a lesson for an adult class in a language school will most likely be based on the textbook and the material provided by this specific school. On the other hand, planning an individual lesson will depend completely on the teacher to prepare all of the materials and the activities, bearing in mind to adjust them to the student's need. Preparing extra activities is a good option since students in one-on-one lesson go over the material much faster. Anticipating a lesson for children might be the most challenging one is they have short attention spends and get bored fast if they have to sit and listen for longer activities. Therefore, the teacher should plan ahead for all topics that S, he intends to teach and have entertaining and playful shorter learning activities ready in advance to cover the entire lesson. When teaching business English or English for specific purposes, ESP, the instructor should prepare his, her lesson based on the client's needs. In this group, the learner or the client might be an individual student, an in-company group, or an in-school group. Based on the kind of group a teacher is assigned for S, he has to adjust the lesson planning and the preparation activities. 3. Approach to writing When writing a lesson plan the teacher should keep it simple and short. He or she should also calculate and note the approximate time for each activity that will take place in the lesson. Most importantly, he or she must stay flexible and open to adopt any changes. The learner objectives and personal aims should be clear and written down alongside language points, teaching aids, anticipated problems, procedure, phases of the lesson, class level, number of students, date, time, and teachers and observers' names. Do you want to teach English abroad? In conclusion, planning a lesson has many benefits for the teacher and the students alike, such as avoiding to waste time during the class to think about what to teach when. It provides students with a clear topic that allows them to have a better learning experience by better understanding of what they have learned. Therefore, teachers should have a clear teaching method plan that suits each group of learners and have it written down and documented in a clear, yet simple and flexible way.

Corey, were you surprised you were as wide open as you were on the 75-yard touchdown and also it looked like you were determined to get in and not let that guy get you down and kind of made a move on it there around the 10-yard line? You talking about that? Yeah, I wasn't too surprised because we got the look that we wanted and you know what we were anticipating the whole week. Tanya put her in a great spot and the rest was up to me. I was determined to get in, I mean just trying to get some points for the boys and so we did. Lenin? Hi, Corey. Just from a personal standpoint, what's this season been like for you? I think that's you know fourth or five, fifth games over 100 yards. You know being healthy the whole year, what's this season been like for you maybe in comparison to some of the earlier years? Definitely one of my best seasons so far. I mean I'm healthy. I'm on the right, playing confident. You know the team is really rolling. We got some momentum so you know we need to keep that up and keep going at that. From a team perspective, I think this is the uh you guys became the ninth team in NFL history. They go five straight games, 30 points and 400 yards. Click in here. This is a lot. That's um it sounds like it's hard to accomplish and you know art and and you know the rest of the office that do a great job of scheming plays and you know we have a lot of weapons and you know this is our job to you know answer that call when you know they do call us to make a play and you know that's what we've been doing so far so we just gotta keep it up. Thank you. Yeah Corey when you guys are producing the way that you are on that side of the ball like Johnny said it's I mean that's the fourth game that you're over 40 40 points scored in a game so far uh just just from your guys's perspective in the passing game like how how much how much pride do you take and how much you're able to contribute through that way and get like Tana Hill's first five touchdown pass game in his career. Yeah I mean a lot of pride and and and what we do um you know Tana is a great great quarterback and he you know he definitely makes our job easy um you know he puts it in a great spot he has great adequacy um but we do take a lot of pride in our job and what we do you know no matter where the ball is you know we we put it upon ourselves to to go get it you know contest it or not um you know the ball's in the air it's our ball you know that's that's something that Rob and you know the guys preach all the time. Yeah Corey coach coach Rob had talked about the importance of yards after the catch when we talked to him last week for you and AJ is that is that something that you guys really um just just kind of talk to each other about and push each other to do because you had even though the ball traveled so many yards you still had a good amount of yards after the catch on your touchdown. Yeah I mean that's that's another thing we kind of take pride in is you know when we get the op you just you know make the most of it and you know try to make it happen with with the ball in your hand and first and foremost you got to protect the ball and um so I mean we do take a lot of pride in that Rob is always harping on that um and Corey did you know the ball was coming to you on the deep ball and what's kind of your thought process is as it lanes in your hands and and trying to figure out why you're getting in zone yeah I knew it was coming to me um like I said I mean we got the look that we had wanted all week um this is my job to to sell it in there and you know set my angle and you know like I said tiny bit in a great spot and um just trying to find in zone and you know that's what I do. How much fun you know you've talked a lot about the offense but you've been around here for several years now this is as potent as this offense has been what's kind of the mindset of the group when you guys go out there on Sunday and you feel like if you can keep playing like this you're going to be hard to beat. Yeah I mean our mindset is you know take it one game at a time you know one play at a time we got weapons you know I always say that and um you know we've got to trust this game trust art and trust the plays and um you know go out there and make it happen and you know that's what we do we can and we go. More on the run after the catch court you you really turned harm and twice there how conscious of you are how conscious are you of where he is how much is it about kind of what you see in front of you or what you feel have that all work yeah I kind of felt um you know where he was his momentum was kind of taking him he had a good angle on me first and foremost and you know I had to you know kind of stop and you know try to cut back and you know it's just something that you feel where he is you feel his momentum you know whether it's going one way or another and you just go the other way and that's what I did and I said man we we played pretty well today and that's a good one for the board. Try center again. Yeah Corey you've you've talked a lot about this season season you know kind of been being asked you know what's what's been different I'm curious from your perspective you've talked a lot in the past about putting pressure on yourself that kind of thing curious how how much of this season has been different for you on that and how much of it has also been supporting cast guys like AJ and Ryan in terms of uh the numbers you're putting up yeah I mean obviously it helps a lot to have AJ over there on the other side you know most of the time he's attracting the attention and you know kind of frame me up and and vice versa and you know as well as Ryan and Ryan does a great job you know always say to make it sure um you know we're on our toes and we know what we're doing and you know pin the ball in the right spot um but mentally um I feel like I'm in a better place um you know times it was too much pressure and um you know just end up being having a negative impact on my playing so this year I'm a lot more free um I'm just going out there playing and having fun with yeah Corey if you could you maybe just expand on that uh a little bit you know what what do you think you did in particular uh and you've always said that that you put a lot of pressure on yourself how did you kind of get out from underneath that a little bit this year do you think um honestly just kind of got my priorities right you know focusing on God and and changing my relationship with him was a big part of it and like I said just not you just not putting you know too much pressure on yourself to to go out there and perform because that could be have a negative impact on you and and your mental and and your play so um just going out there playing free and playing fast it's kind of something that you have to do in this game you've got to rely for instinct sometimes and and kind of take the thinking out of it and you know that's kind of what I've been trying to do this year and it's been working so um you know we just got to keep it up and keep having fun with it
