ctly what was happening there We only knew that there were a quantity of terrorists there Actually, we continued to drive there three of us and two other policemen we picked up on the way There is a lot of violence in the way of violence. We are a group of people During the drive two RPG missiles are fired at us which broke our vehicle and destroyed it Fortunately, we were able to get out of the vehicle healthy and uninjured. The vehicle stopped We got out of it and simply started to fight against all terrorists who were there There were dozens of terrorists dozens at the same time There were dozens who were in the woods and shot at us a lot of events also arrived as you saw in the videos Loaded with terrorists. We literally waged a war with them. We also had two policemen injured Dore also injured his leg Just so many different views of Israel at war. Thank you very much Pierre for that look on the southern front Going to look now at some other aspects of the war and that being with so many of Israel's border communities Burned and destroyed. Well, we're seeing many people house homeless here in Israel We see 200,000 people internally displaced and much of the pride of Israel. It's farming community heavily damaged Well, a group of volunteers is now trying to assist the farmers of the south who were left alone to secure their homes and fields Following that October 7th massacre and we're correspondent or a Shapiro join them and here's what he saw Two weeks into Israel's war with Hamas There are still hot warming gestures from volunteers who come to help the people of the south Several organizations have joined forces to assist the farmers affected by the fighting Driving down and seeing all the cars actually going towards the war zone and not running away I think says a lot about the power that we have as a nation as a people and Coming here hearing the the echoes from the war zone Meanwhile picking and you know helping the farmers out in times of need. It's an it's an amazing feeling. It's really empowering and Gives a really good feeling that we're in the right direction and this is winning here in Moshavia Ted close to the Gaza border only a few farmers are left to work in the fields The farmers have many problems these days such as the absence of foreign workers from Thailand and Palestinian workers who can't work here now So the assistance of volunteers is needed in addition to that some of the farmers were killed in the initial Hamas onslaught And others were recruited to military service Others are mourning their loved ones. So we operate this project not just here, but across Israel I 24 news joint shy a local farmer who points out the damage done by a rocket from Gaza This is a crater made by a 170 millimeter rocket. It caused huge damage to the environment The plants were destroyed the poles were broken. We need major renovation here We're lucky. We didn't have workers here because they wouldn't have survived this As we tool the greenhouse we hear a siren We're farmers we don't have anything else. This is our job. This is our home We need to secure this place. We are guarding the borders We never thought about leaving here our wives and the foreign workers left for security reasons We can't leave this place. We can't Not far from here in the army Oz village another group of volunteers assist in collecting tomatoes We got used to the rockets what happened on October the 7th was frightening We'll learn how to live with it But we need that the country will reorganize and help agriculture Farmers say the current crisis may lead to a lack of fruit and vegetables for the entire country In the meantime, they are continuing their labors while hoping for more assistance from the government and help from the public And it's not just farms that need assistance There's also going on volunteers and all other aspects of Israeli life You see fashion studios turning all of their abilities and all their sun machines to stitch equipment and uniforms and tactical gear for the military as Everybody in the country pulls together to try to figure out how they can help their communities How they can help their nation at a time when so many people are grieving and so many people are in fear Well to actually help us understand that a little bit better We are joined by a fashion designer Ophir Ivegay as well as Maya Arrazi fashion lecturer at the fashion department of Shankar College of Engineering as well as a third person and a solo senior lector Lecturer of a college of engineering designer art who have more or less turned their fashion and art departments into military Procurement well first off It's good to have all three of you with us. Tell us how this got started No, thank you Well last Sunday or well, I lost count already I was approached by the IDF asking for help for providing Some equipment for the soldiers very urgent for a certain unit So the immediately I just what's up to all my colleagues at Shankar College of Fashion the fashion department and ask Our help is needed who can volunteer. Let's start helping them So the group joined me and Anna and Ophir immediately became like the head of this operation and We tried to understand what are the needs and how can we help? We got a specific Request for a certain kind of equipment. We understood what are the needs? What is the materials that needed? We managed to get the supplies from people. We know everyone from the from our team Just did whatever they could To help some of them with the connections with suppliers some of them with the technical knowledge and Some just came and we are still what we're doing two weeks Into it. We'll be we just open a big production from the beginning it was like 10 100 needed and 200 and now it's in thousands So we have a very big group of volunteers of students of staff of people who graduated Many many years ago and other volunteers coming here in shifts morning and afternoon And we're just working around the clock trying to provide as many as we can with the knowledge that we have for the different units How many people do you three have assisting you and how many more materials have you managed to produce so far? we actually work in each day with something like 15 15 persons and We are working with a lot of materials a lot of different materials different techniques that we need to use and I will also Really help us with all the pattern for the product that we need to make and Yeah, yes, we got some donations And I think very quick we understood that the problem is like it happens in all over Israel with all the units so different groups of volunteers evolved some are of designers some of Trying to understand where the materials come from And some raising money to buy all of these materials. So we're all working together in a collaboration Everyone's assisting one another with their knowledge and then some so a startup came over to us and said How can we help? Okay, we need so and so units, but we'll provide the money and We still work with them. So every day now We supply at the end of the day a box of whatever, you know We managed to make and they take it directly to the soldiers to the specific unit that is in Well, I thank all three of you for being with us to explain just how the Israeli people are coming together Even an unexpected ways to assist with the war effort and to ensure that Israel is ready for whatever comes ahead Thank all of you for what you've been doing for all of us I'm going to turn back to our studio where we have our former intelligence officer Rafael Irochalmi with us We've been hearing about the ways that the Israeli public has had to come together to assist with the war effort with Productions and the like the big question is why was Israel so ill-prepared materially speaking for this sort of call-up? Honestly, I don't have an answer. I am pulled but what I see I saw what they were showing They cannot tell you what they were doing, but I recognize what it is and I am amazed that we were short of that I mean something rather basic. So Of course after the war we have to check what happened here. What happened there? For now what is important to notice is the resilience of the Israeli people all these testimonies that you have shown the bravery of each Youngster that was in that festival the bravery of parents families Everybody I mean it's an amazing example that the Israeli people is giving to its leaders Because its leaders are not doing the job these leaders are not united. They don't show solidarity. They're still busy with Political calculations. They're still busy actually right now There was an article by two prominent Israeli journalists Ron Bergman and Nahum Barnea These guys are very very serious journalists and they have sources indicating how for instance during the security cabinet meetings There is a protocol, you know everything is recorded. So Ministers are speaking knowing they're being recorded for the Commission of inquiry for after the war They're saying, you know seeing they want to have to show to prove that they were so I mean this is ridiculous So so right by now We have understood the Israeli people has understood that we have to do a lot Without asking any questions. We have to help our soldiers. We have to help the victims We have to help one another and the countless and less About the institutions and the government They are dysfunctional and this is sad sad to say because we're at war I mean one of the important things for instance, we're in the economy of war So it's not only the army and the effort of the Ministry of Defense Other ministries are involved in a war the first one who is involved in a war is the Ministry of Finance Then you have the Ministry of Health the Ministry of International Security and the Ministry of Transport these four ministries They ensure that the war economy will run and these four ministries are won by people have zero experience in that They have no competence and those people who did have the knowledge their Director of the ministries were sucked for political reasons and replaced by good friends of theirs in the party I'm sorry to say this because it sounds political, but it's not it has nothing to do with politics anymore It has to do with our safety our security We need to trust the political level to take the right decision We need to feel that we are hugged by our our government and we're not so right now It is a big problem. So I can only just salute the Israeli people I can salute our soldiers and our generals We are doing the job. We're gonna win this war. We're gonna we're gonna survive And after that, I don't want to speak of who was guilty or not guilty. It doesn't matter Something has to change for sure in the political arena. How things are organized how elections are Performed how coalitions are made. I don't know something is not right in the Israeli system I'm not accusing this or that person or that minister I'm accusing the system. Something is not rightly organized and that gives Room to errors to mistakes to these functionments that we must avoid at all costs because we're a country We're not Switzerland We're a place that we need to function. We need to have our transports function our health ministry function And most of all our ministry of finance that has to function People are still waiting for help local municipalities who need assistance For more shelters for helping people who are displaced And everywhere there is a demand and I know it's it's it's a huge burden on the economy and the finance of the country But that's what you've got a ministry. That's what you have all these people They've got to do their job and so far we're waiting. We're still waiting It's basically a monstrous question How do you restore the faith of the people of the nation in the legitimacy of the nation itself after such failures? And I I guess we're going to move on to one completing item And actually know that have technical difficulty with that So we are going to continue on this because minor technical difficulties there Can we try to answer that question? What happens? How do you repair faith in the legitimacy of not an institution not a specific government But the state itself after so many failures No, I think the Israeli people are aware of problems major problems that should be dealt with later on Otherwise, I think the motivation is high. The patriotism is high. The love for the country Is very high the solidarity we understand now that we're all in the same boat All this actually is strengthening the the Jewish people like all the horrible things that happen throughout history It's not the first time in such a horrible situation At least this time we have an army to defend ourselves and have a country to to to to be in Imagine the Jews of before during the times of the programs And the holocausts who had nobody to to take care of them to to help them out. They had to They were just slaughtered Like sheep here at least we we have our own defense. We have a means To to equip ourselves to brace ourselves. So I think it's it's a bad thing that will lead to a good thing I'm very optimistic. I think that This horrible experience will strengthen us will bring us together and


Okay, welcome back to SiliconANGLE and Wikibon's theCUBE, our flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the signal from the noise. This is our OpenStack Enterprise events. SiliconANGLE, Wikibon in conjunction with SolidFire, live broadcast here. Enterprise is hot, OpenStack is hot, OpenCompute is hot. Everything open is hot, but more importantly, the cloud. Dave, I'm with Dave Vellante, my co-host. Our next guest is Rodney Peck, OpenStack Storage Architect with PayPal. PayPal's in the news lately. Obviously, that's like the hot product within eBay and a lot of the news, but we want to talk more about the tech going on. eBay, huge hyperscale environment. You guys are not foreign to the notion of a lot of stuff going on in terms of data, compute, networking challenges. So I got to ask you the first question. A lot of commentary in the crowd chat about the storage architecture. Block, storage, object store. How do you handle all this with OpenStack? What do people need to worry about, about OpenStack Storage? How do you use OpenStack Storage? Well, one of the big things with OpenStack is it's related more to Amazon EC2 and object storage than to more traditional storage like POSIX NFS. So a lot of the stuff we're running into is educating developers about how to use Amazon's features and OpenStack's features more effectively. It hasn't been that difficult. Once the architects find out the features, they're quick on board. The agility and the speed of OpenStack being able to create new volumes and attach them makes any sort of downsides of change really not that big an issue. In the past, to use storage, you'd have to work with a storage vendor and have volumes allocated and targets created and it's a much more physical thing, probably creating tickets to your site. But with OpenStack, it's just click, click, or API calls. So those are the sort of changes. So maybe you could explain a little bit. So you're using a little bit of AWS, a little bit of OpenStack, a little bit of other stuff. Can you just sort of describe that environment for us a little bit? Just paint a picture. As far as Amazon and... Yeah, you're mentioning Amazon. So you're using some Amazon for what? Test and Dev or? Our M&A people, the companies we purchase, a lot of them have piloted their things in Amazon. So they have something that's working with S3 and working with AWS and Elastic Block Store. So you bring them into an OpenStack environment? Right, the OpenStack lets you set up an environment where you can create almost the exact same thing. Maybe even use the OpenStack EC2 API but move towards the OpenStack API for additional features. And so presumably they're using a lot of S3 and maybe even some EBS. So the analog of Elastic Block Storage in OpenStack is Cinder. What's the sort of status? What's your experience with that? How's it going? Cinder, Cinder is going very well. Cinder and SolidFire is really tight. So you use SolidFire underneath Cinder? We have many different vendors. But yeah, we use SolidFire for some of our Flash Storage. We're looking at Cep for low-cost block storage. We have NetApps, we have EMC, we have Atachi, we're a very large company. We've got one of all, one of everything. A lot of legacy hardware. Like a lot of cloud service providers actually. And really that might be something to talk about is you don't have to throw away all your hardware just because you're moving to this OpenStack. A lot of these companies have developed Cinder drivers. Some of them aren't as feature rich as others. Like some provide fast cloning to create volume. Some you make a new volume and you have to copy all the data by hand. So some are more effective.  You can use it with Cinder. And for some people that's a better solution than by now. So in general, you're going to, I would presume, increasingly demand high quality drivers and connections from legacy storage into whether it's Swift or Cinder or Cep. Or Manila, the NFS project. So yeah, anybody who's working with eBay or PayPal now, we make that a clear point that these are the APIs we're working with. Where anybody who works with Cinder or Neutron or any of these other APIs, we're willing to talk to them. And it could be a big opportunity for a small company. So John was just talking about, we were just at the OCP summit yesterday and with theCUBE and today for a little bit. How are you addressing different hardware configurations for different workloads? How closely are you looking at that? Are you thinking about OCP? I wonder if you could talk about that a little bit. Yeah, OCP, the biggest problem we would have when using that for storage is, who do you call when there's a problem? What, there's no vendor to go that's going to dispatch somebody to help you fix this. To say if you're a million dollar account. So PayPal, we're very high reliability. We're very conservative in redundancy and things like that. We'll spend extra money to make sure that we don't end up in a situation where everybody's up for two nights with an outage. There's not a lot of outages of PayPal you read about in the paper. So Flash, obviously big disruption in the storage business. For years the spinning disk has been the bottleneck. We all kind of know that Flash comes along. You got this persistent medium as either a memory extension or stuff into existing boxes. So many different use cases across the spectrum. I wonder if we could talk about Flash and sort of eBay's philosophy on Flash. What are your personal opinions? What you're seeing as a storage expert? That storage used to be boring. Used to be how many gigabytes do you need? And that's that. We used to call it storage. Yeah, so now with all the new things coming out iSCSI 10 gig networking is cheap. Flash, suddenly storage is really complex and the best solution isn't really obvious. And what's happening is that the price performance curves are changing. I think right now it's a little early to be buying all Flash unless you can afford it. But if you go out and buy really large drives next year they're boat anchors. So I think in two years it'll be really, really obvious what to do right now. It really depends on your use case, on your application. And you have to analyze that if you're going to buy a lot of something. On the other hand, things are relatively cheap so you can kind of get a common denominator. A lot of vendors are working on spinning disks, prices at Flash speeds. That doesn't fit our case because our data centers are full. So we don't have any room. We need the Flash speed. We don't have room to be putting in spinning disks. So we want as much Flash in the rack as we can. You talked before, Ron. Different sort of problems. Yeah, sorry, okay. So you talked before about all the different legacy platforms that you have and the nice thing about OpenStack is you can actually leverage those assets. You don't have to throw them out. Now of course you see all this, you hear all this discussion about software defined. And you have a number of companies that are talking about separating the control plane from the data plane. And essentially that data plane, I guess that backend storage gets commoditized and all the value goes to sort of the control piece. What do you want your control plane to be? Is that OpenStack? Is that 100% right?  We don't want any of that. We want to just control it from OpenStack APIs. Otherwise you can't script it. You want to consolidate all those different points of control so you can automate, presumably.  But I feel like the single pane of glass I feel is like it's a single version of the truth. Do you see the light at the end of the tunnel from a storage perspective on the single pane of glass? Yes, I mean it's one of those project bullet points that's like next quarter we're going to do that. And so we try, but every, yes. But you know what I'm saying? You've been hearing that from vendor pitches for decades, haven't you? Everybody talks about single pane of glass. The higher you go up in the management level, the more important that is. Right, okay, but so OpenStack is you think can deliver on that promise?  It's sort of as you have an API for networking, you have an API for storage and an API for compute. If you have something else, say backup, why wouldn't you have a similar, you know, so it's sort of just if I can do this and this and this, it just provides a framework and a model.  What would that business case look like? You know, roughly, and even in, you know, we've got field terms, percentage terms, however you want to communicate it. How much money did you save? How much, you know, faster were you able to deploy things? I wonder if you could just share any metrics you can share or any subjective comments around that. Sure, before I was with PayPal, I was at Yahoo, and I was the operations architect for Yahoo Mail. So it's like an enormous mail system, and we at Yahoo are deploying, you know, thousands of machines a quarter, and we would find when we shut down a data center, 10 to 20% of the machines in the data center were idle for the entire time they were in the data center. It's crazy, because you have to go to David Filo and justify them every week. It's like, we need 12, we'll give you eight. Not only underutilized, you're saying idle. Idle, like the machines were installed by the operations team. Nobody ever logged in, nobody ever installed any packages. We only found out when we shut them down to close the colo. So then, of course, the management's like, we can't continue to do this. We need to find out, so they got strict during the allocations. You need 12 machines, we'll give you eight, because 20% of what you asked for, you're not going to use, and that's what they did. And somehow that didn't work either. But OpenStack and Virtualization gives you this way to say you need 100 machines, okay, we'll get you that capacity. If you only use 80 of them, that other 20 is available for another project, and you don't have to keep track of it. So we literally save millions of dollars a quarter, just an unused allocation of resources. And I think that's the big business thing for the senior level of management. If we could save that 10, 20% loss, we get more value out of the data center, and that's multi-million dollar, because the power and consumption is huge. Last question I have for you. Any big shortcomings in storage that you see within the OpenStack framework that you'd like to see addressed by the community? Yeah, there's always new features coming out. So things like backup, things like inter-vendor, inter-backend migration, to say move a volume from a SEF to a solid fire or something like that, those sort of things. There's features, but right now, creative volume, user volume, the delete, all that management sort of stuff, it's functional as it is. So we've been really, really happy with it all in all. Excellent. Okay, Rodney, thanks for coming on. We really appreciate it. I know you guys are really short in time. No, no, we'd like to get, but I want to get to Dave, wanted to have some specific questions I had some, but we couldn't wait to laugh to the camera. This is theCUBE, we'll be right back. We're going to go into rapid fire. We want to get the toughest questions we can find. If you see him, go to crowdchat.net slash OE forum. That's our public open timeline across LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter. That's a public chat on the hashtag OE forum. That's a crowd chat. Put your questions there. We'll be right back with our next guest. Have a short break.


Hi everyone, Joe for jaspyscasebreaks.com coming at you with 2019-2020 Panini Gold Standard Soccer, little footy coming at you, the random number block break number 13 from a fresh case. Very big thanks to all of these folks for getting into it. There are the numbers right there. I think everyone knows how, at least in this break knows how a number block works. If you don't, take a look, read the instructions right here. All right. Let's roll it. The numbers and numbers, six times, four and a two, one, two, three, four, five, and six and final time. After six, we got Mike down to Miguel, four and a two, six times four, the numbers, two, three, four, five, good luck, six and final time. After six, we got six down to one. Now remember, zero gets any and all redemptions, including one-of-one redemptions. One still gets any live one-of-ones that pop out of here. All right, Mike with six, Dimitri with eight, four and two, Luis with seven, Dimitri with three, Louis with nine, Mike with five, Dimitri with zero, Miguel with one. Let's sort this by column B. And trades are allowed, if you'd like, but while you're thinking about it, let's pop this open box we're going to do. The next one-box break is already in the store if you want to check that out. All right, so how should we do this? You know what? We'll roll the die a couple of times. We'll use this Liverpool red right here, that's the club that I support. I got one, two, three, four, five or six, I'll just roll again. So we'll choose the stack first, stack four right there. And now from here, we'll go one, two, three, four, five, six on the dice roll. Three, one, two, three, four, so the middle box right here. And we'll save these for next time, we'll probably just grab a random box next time. I think we only have this one case anyway. The gold bar shape always cracks me up. All right, so we're going to pause the video, we're going to see if there's any numbers trade and then we'll come back and we'll do the break. Stick around. All right, welcome back, folks. So we got the list printed out right here. No trades. I don't know why this went landscape, but that's all right. Good luck. Are these base cards down here? Are these all three base cards down here and then hits? I think so. It's been a minute or two since we've done these. All right, so use that blank card to hide the hits a little bit here. We're going to lead off with solid gold, Killian Mbappe, 22 out of 79. Dimitri with number two. He's pretty good. Hattrick versus Barcelona the other week. Will he make his way to the Premier League? Be interesting, currently on Berri Saint-Germain. Got next guy is David Marshall, or Marshall that is, eight out of 29. What am I, like, I was thinking of Anthony Marshall on Mentors United, maybe? No, I just read it wrong. Clearly, M-A-R-S-H-A-L-Ls for Scotland. Speaking of Scotland, folks, for some of you, you may remember the movie Train Spotting. It's 25th anniversary today, old 90s cult classic. There's Thomas Muller. It's one 16. Oh, the David Marshall goes to eight, so that'll be for Dimitri. The Thomas Muller is one 16 out of 129, so we go by that digit right there, six, Mike Weiss. We've got Alex Witzel for Brusa Dortmund, 48 out of 149. Going to Dimitri and number eight, Metalergy is the set here. Pretty good looking stuff. Next one, these are hits now, yes, Marks of Gold, Marcus Rojo. For Manchester United, 44 out of 99. Dimitri with the number four, Marcus Rojo for the Rojo Devils, my rivals, one with Everton. He pulled us. Not good. There's Luca Antonelli for Zazzuri, 17 out of 29. Luis with number seven. My new seven in Italian, I would have said it, but it's pretty close, probably close to, it's a romance language, right? Spanish, Italian, French, Sieta, it's probably around there, it's close enough. And we got a relic only, it's Lucas Fabianski, nice, six out of 10, that's a great piece of his shirt there. A lot of colors popping in that keeper shirt, nice. This is for, this is West Ham United gear. And number six goes to Mike, Mike Weiss with that one, it's pretty sharp. Match warm? Yeah, I think so. Yeah, match warm. It's pretty cool. There you go. And there you have it, ladies and gentlemen, quick little break of gold, a standard soccer. We got more one box breaks in the store if you want to give it a go. I'm Joe, I'll see you next time for the next one, bye-bye.


When you encounter your resistance, what do you do? How do you deal with it? How do you deal with the range like she's talking about? Well, when you're in purpose, it actually is really beautiful. Like for example, I went to Argentina one time and this was the time when the United States was dropping bombs on Baghdad I was down there doing all these healing gatherings and all these protests were burning effigies and bush and people were spilling out in the streets and screaming things at each other I remember I was staying at this house and there was a woman who was staying there about 30 years old and I sat down to get my breakfast and I was just sitting there eating my bowl of cereal and she just went into her full-blown rage like right across the table from me and she just really was just passionately enraged in this and this and this and this and I was just eating my bowl of cereal and then my friend who was David, another David sitting next to me and we both started into a rendition of bobbing with fair ends, don't worry, be happy Don't worry Well, she just first her eyes got real big.  She went totally from normal rage into bursting laughter After and you know in spirituality is going to see that pretty often where somebody can be crying and wailing away And all of a sudden it burst into laughter Suzanne can testify to this probably in the last year. You've had some times where you've just been screaming and wailing in pain and then all of a sudden just First into laughter, you know, it's almost doesn't even seem kind of surreal because most people aren't used to that There's no empathy like you say. Well, there's an honor of the authenticity I think like there there was a movie out babies and there's just one scene where the baby the one baby can't get the peg in the the round peg on the pool and And it's just like upset and he goes into this full-blown like temper tantrum face Entorting and you're just laughing in the eyes because you can relate to all these situations divorce disease That are about putting the brown thing on And then there's this like celebration of that like release That's all there You can it does the left or does come because because you just learn that not to take it seriously And again, it's back to that thing like we're all connected. So it can't be that this dualistic thing of Laughter and rage, you know, aren't in the same mind and there's only one mind So where can the rage be after a while? That's what makes it funny You know, you kind of flip into a higher perspective and all of a sudden the very thing that you're Yeah, it's hilarious But the rage still exists The rage is still there underneath. It's just that you're not dealing with it's not being nothing You actually get more than this experience about the reality of love. Love is all that there is and you really more and more experience that consistently and consistently then that becomes like a Just radiates, you know, they talk about things being contagious laughter being contagious You know and being in a room where some people start to laugh and then more people start to laugh and then you got the whole Room laughing. It's it's that way with love love kind of just extends and radiates and it's really So what about if the other happens the woman's having, you know, you know rage at breakfast You're calmly eating your bowl of cereal and you laugh you don't take it seriously. What if you have? What if that person inspired rage her rage was infectious to you and then instead of Holding basically holding in love, right? You went to preservation and the person next to you went to preservation and the whole room or the whole went to Predervation or what if that person expired inspired the whole room to rage against a particular, you know, whatever people or a group of people so I'm just turning it around and saying you hold it's great So what if people most people I encounter when I have my authentic feelings come out? They don't hold they jump right into my feelings with me.  There's no they don't hold in a place of detachment So what what does the person right the person who falls into the hole? I guess you could you called that last night false empathy How do you deal with that? Well, I remember having worked through the course and I really asked Jesus for like a map of the mind and basically You know, he says you will look upon that what you feel within it doesn't hold for the reverse In other words, everything you experience in your consciousness and your awareness is reflected But but that's how it works it works from the inside out in other words I actually asked Jesus throw me a diagram of the mind. I'm interested in how this stuff all works together So many health perceptions and thoughts and and emotions and beliefs and desire and all this word is how does it go together? And he he actually, you know threw me drew out this map with desire in the middle It all starts with the desire and then the belief ring came right outside of it and the thought ring came next then the Emotional ring came next then the perceptual ring came next so the persons It's not understandable from the realm of persons because they're all out in the outer ring It seems like in this world that persons can say and do things that affect other people other persons the way they look Feel think behave. It's like it's like that old thinking we were raised with you hurt my feelings You make me mad, you know, blah, blah, blah, blah, but totally erroneous all those thoughts are totally erroneous false cause and effects Relationships the more you go through the mind training the more you realize that if you are at peace The whole universe is at peace Because the whole universe the whole cosmos is the perception So you have a peaceful perception of the world period It doesn't matter if nuclear bombs are going off or the whole planet is like in that latest movie 2012 or we've seen a whole string of them Knowing yeah, but Nicholas Cage the solar flare that's even faster And the whole wiping the world out and like it takes about five seconds or 10 seconds to wipe the whole planet out But you wouldn't even matter in that state because again If you're at peace and the whole universe So what comes up for me is why would you permit yourself to feel rage because rage? You know peace rage and peace. I can't fit them together in the same headset So when I go into rage, it takes me into my ego mind and out of peace pieces where my treasure is And when I'm at peace there could be no for a holocaust out my window, and I'm still going to be a piece It's all just what's going on out there, but when I'm in rage I'm in it. You know, it's like the wars out there and the wars in here So why why would you permit yourself?  Well, it goes back. I said it's a very core There's a point of power or the point of prayer and some people call that like the altar Be careful. What's on your altar? The altar is right in the middle like core the heart center and basically That altar is desire and another word for desire is one So when I hear someone say to me, I'm feeling a lot of rage now, but I want to be in peace. Oh No, you're feeling rage because you want to feel rage And you believe that there is a value to rage Why would anybody if every emotion is a decision? Why would anybody choose to feel rage unless? They saw a value in it a value in anger a value in In hurt and pain and sadness and this and this so that that valuing that desiring that wanting You know is is that the core you have to get to the power of your wanting, you know That's where the metaphysics of the course of miracles come in because the only reason you could seem to want rage or anger of these emotions Is is as if it was saving you from something worse Like how children do that like don't hit me mommy. Don't do it. I'll do it to myself Don't do it to me to mitigate is strange.


Good morning, everyone. Welcome to BC 103 New Testaments of It. We're going to study on the letter to the Philippians. Even before I could start, let me share the presentation. Give me a minute. Okay. I hope everyone can see it. Yes. Okay. So the Philippians is one of the four prison epistles that Apostle Paul wrote. Most scholars believe that this letter was written in 62 AD while Apostle Paul was in prison. And Apostle Paul wrote to the body, the believers in Philippi, with whom he shared a close partnership and a special affection. You also address the letter to the church elders and deacons. So overall, the Book of Philippians is known as the Book of Joy and Rejoicing, where we see the joy of the Christian experience is the dominant theme which runs through the Book of Philippians. Ben said that let's look into the history of Philippi. So Philippi was founded as a gold mining center and became a city of prominence because it was the main road to Rome from the Western world. Philippi was a chief city of the part of Macedonia, even though Thessalonica was the capital city of that Roman province. And Philippi was a Roman colony. As a result of being a Roman colony, the people of the city were Roman citizens. The city was a model of Roman law and education. So people were noted to be noble, educated and disciplined in nature. The city did not officially allow a synagogue to be part of it, but it was somewhat anti-Semitic. So let's look into the background of the Book of Philippi. So when we look at Acts chapter 14 verse 27, we see that Paul circulated through the region of Galatia in his first missionary journey and he planted a few churches there. And he came back to Antioch of Syria and rested. He spent about three years. Then after that, he decides again with Barnabas saying that let's go into the places where we plant a church in Galatia and we'll minister and strengthen them. And there's a drift between Barnabas and Apostle Paul about taking John Mark along with them in the second missionary journey for which Apostle Paul did not agree. So Barnabas takes John Mark and he heads towards a different direction on ministry and Apostle Paul takes Silas along with them and he visits the same places where he planted the church in the first missionary journey. So as he visited, he wants to extend the territory to the new places. But then when he decided to move on to the next region after Galatia, let me move on to the map. So here we see the first missionary journey. They were in Antioch of Syria. They moved to Tarsus, Derby, Lystra, Iconium, Antioch, and Pisidia. And when Apostle Paul decides to move into Asia to minister here, he was tarried here by the Holy Spirit. So when we read in Acts chapter 16 verse 6 and 7, we see that, let me turn to Acts chapter 16. Okay, I'm there almost. Yeah, Acts chapter 16 verse 6 and 7 says, Now when they had gone through Pergah and the region of Galatia, they were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia. After they had come to Messiah, they tried to go into Bethania, but the Spirit did not permit them. So what happened? The Spirit did not permit them. Reading further. Okay, so passing by Messiah, they came down to Thoraz. Can you see Thoraz here? Yeah, they passed through Messiah and they came to Thoraz. And verse 9, chapter 16 verse 9 in the book of Acts, it says, And a vision appeared to Paul in the night. A man of Macedonia, a student pleaded with him saying, Come over to Macedonia and help us. Now after he had seen the vision, immediately he sought to go to Macedonia, concluding that the Lord had called us to preach the gospel to them. So what happened? From Thoraz, they went directly to Macedonia, that is to Neapolis, and eventually they went to Philippi, that is, Yeah, can we all see? I'm just moving my cursor. Yes, it's there. So eventually they went there. So as Apostle Paul sends the Holy Spirit was directing him to Macedonia. He went there for the vision that he get. He just took an action immediately. He sensed very clearly that the next place that he needs to minister is in Macedonia. And eventually he arrived at Philippi and as it was the foremost city of that part of Macedonia, the colony. So when Paul and Silas arrived in Philippi, since there was no synagogue, they started the ministry in the Riverside as it was a coastal region. And when they started in the Riverside, they came across a lady called Lydia. When we read from chapter 16 verse 13 to 15, you see, and on the Sabbath day, we went out of the city to the Riverside, where prayer was customarily made. So I feel like certain Jews gathered together there and they met to pray. And we sat down and spoke to the women who met there. Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira who worshipped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by policy. There's a door that is open for them to minister through this woman. Now verse 15, when she and her household were baptized, she begged us saying, if you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come to my home and stay. So she persuaded. So God met the need. He opened up their heart, opened up their place for them to stay and pray fellowship at their place. And furthermore, when we read verse 16 to 19, we see that our apostle Paul went about preaching and ministering to people on the street. And this stirred the Holy Spirit was present with them. Stirred the people that were hearing to the message. And he also eventually went and delivered a young lady who was possessed with spirit of divination. When she was delivered by Apostle Paul, he cast that spirit out of her. The master of that girl was in a problem. He didn't get any more business because that spirit was cast out from this girl. So what did the master do? He dragged Apostle Paul and Silas before the city magistrate and accused them for being Jews and preaching and teaching and converting the Roman people. So because of the city opposition towards the Jews, Paul and Silas were beaten brutally. They were thrown into prison without a trial. Now furthermore, when we read verse 25 to 34, we see that now Apostle Paul is put in a deep prison. I would like to read that. Okay, 25 to 34. Okay, let me read. At least I'll read the first two verses 25 and 26. But at the midnight Apostle Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God and the prisoners were listening to them. Suddenly there was a great earthquake so that the foundation of the prison was shaken and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were lost. Everyone's chains were lost. So what happened? When Apostle Paul and Silas were in the prison, nothing changed and nothing stopped them from ministering to the people. They were filled with joy. They sang out of the joy. They praised God. When they praised God in the situation, they did not give heed to the situation or circumstances. But when they sang and praised God, they rejoiced. They haven't responded to them. They haven't responded to their praise and verse 26 says there was a great earthquake that came into the foundation of... it shook the foundation of the prison and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were released. This is what God can do to us when we sing and praise and rejoice over our situation. God can deliver us. Heaven will respond to our praise. So Paul and Silas eventually were released from the prison because the Roman government discovered that Paul was a Roman citizen. So they want to secretly release him. But Apostle Paul, knowing the rules and regulation of the Roman government, he forced the officials to release him publicly because he was beaten and public and arrested in front of all. So he asked them to release with the public issue. So then they did that. Apostle Paul picked up where he left in the house. He picked up the ministry where he left at the house of Lydia and that's where the church, the new church was meeting. And then we see how Luke followed up because the letter of Acts was written by Luke. So Luke was also in touch with Apostle Paul. Whenever Apostle Paul came to Philippi or Macedonia, we see Luke who was in the neighboring city came and served Apostle Paul in the ministry. So he was with him in the beginning stages of this church. So that's how he could write in detail in the book of Acts. And we also see that he should be noted that whenever Apostle Paul was in need, he was there to help him. That's where many places he write in detail how Apostle Paul was helped by whom, what are the circumstances that he was put in? He could record in detail in the book of Acts. And also when we see the church, the Philippi church, was a joyful church which was very close with Apostle Paul because when they saw the need of Apostle Paul when he was in the prison, they sent gifts financially. They helped him and they supported him in different locations. And even when Apostle Paul was at the ministry at Thessalonica, they had helped him. And we also see that Paul undoubtedly visited the church of Philippi on the third missionary journey because in one of the scriptures in Philippians, he clearly says that it is due 24, he says that I trust in the Lord that I will come and visit you shortly. He had heart for this church, heart for the love of people whom he nurtured, built and grown and they were imitating Christ in a much closer way. They could follow Christ. They could follow the teaching of Apostle Paul.


she turned around then and all she saw was a turkey being decapitated but we're just sick of these vegans telling us that what we do is cruel when it's food chain yeah we also think that this is the most humane way to kill yeah just just cutting their heads off straight away why are you vegan yeah this we're trying to support our local turkey family alright so we've got this petition here to stop

kills them instance it's the most humane way of dispatching a turkey if they are sick and that is just that's just muscle movement after they they're dispatched immediately but they investigate and they they go in our farms leave these cameras and they tell the public that there's something wrong with this it's humane dispatching and this is another result of trespassing they come in and trespass on a turkey farm we can't stop these things from happening because if we have so many birds I can't look after every single bird but the vegans come in and you know they investigate and they

still sign the petition we got one two three four we've got five signatures here so not that many a lot of people didn't want support the turkey industry which is good so leave the turkeys alone this Christmas and get vegan turkey or just go vegan


There's a question about whether you can use the sound therapy together with the coils and the answer to that is yes. The app has all these sounds on it. So each program is actually also a sound. So you can listen to the sounds and you'll get pretty good meditative experience. But when you plug in the cheat coils, then it turns the sound into electromagnetic field or energy field. But you can do both at the same time. You would just add a splitter and one side would go to the headphones and one side would go to the coils. That is also something that other devices cannot do.


Alright guys, welcome back to the channel if you're new Manmus Bobby guys, triggering video today how Hinduism lost to Islam by the channel Awaited Hour. Recently we've seen a lot of hate from Indian neo-nationalists so-called Hindutva against Islam. Therefore I'm very curious to hear a Muslim perspective in today's video. With no further ado, let's have a look. In today's world, there are unfortunately many instances of hatred and discrimination towards Islam and Muslims, with Hindus being one of the most notorious groups in their animosity. Their vitriol and propaganda are often used to diminish and dehumanize Muslims, creating an environment of fear and resentment, and paving the way for numerous inhumane crimes against harmless innocents. Absolutely. It has become essential for us Muslims to go on the offensive side by intellectually challenging their beliefs and confronting the ignorance that drives them. In this video, we will explore several stories related to Hinduism and draw insights from them. After that, we will contrast these ideas with fundamental principles of the Islamic Creed. It is important to note that the stories referenced in this video have various versions that may differ in their details. It should be obvious to the listener that these stories are works of fiction. And as with any fictional narrative, there can be multiple variations and adaptations of the story. What is important for us is to reflect on the main ideas present in Hindu mythology and compare them to Islam. So is it fictional or not fictional? The first story is about Parvati, a Hindu goddess. She wanted a son to keep her company when Shiva, her husband, was away. So she decided to create Ganesha out of the sandalwood paste she used for her bath and breathed life into him. She then instructed Ganesha to stand guard at the entrance while she took her bath. When Shiva returned home and tried to enter her room, he was stopped by the boy who did not recognize him. An angry Shiva cut off the boy's head, not realizing that it was his own son. Upon seeing what had happened, Parvati was devastated and inconsolable. She was filled with grief and anger at the loss of her son.  And when he could not, she threatened to destroy the universe and all of its creatures in her rage. Shiva then ordered his followers to find the head of the first living creature they came across. And that turned out to be an elephant. He placed the elephant's head on the boy's body and thus Ganesha was born with the head of an elephant in the body of him. Hindus worship Shiva for a variety of reasons. So to stay absolutely respectful towards the Hindus watching and moreover to give them the benefit of the doubt and say those stories are just metaphorical. They are metaphorical, fantastic stories that ultimately teach people certain lessons. Alright, that might be the case. However, we do know that Shiva, Krishna, Ganesha and so forth are worshipped by Hindus indeed and therefore we cannot say that they are just fictional characters. No, people worship those figures. They see them as gods or as manifestations of God. However, as you can see, they have no true power. The father himself didn't recognize his son. So how can he be a god? Moreover, he couldn't bring him back to life.  How can you worship those fallible creatures? Such as wisdom and protection. In the story we just mentioned, Shiva shows qualities of anger, rage and ignorance. Which caused him to unknowingly murder his own son. In addition to that, he was incapable of bringing him back to life normally and had to replace his head with an elephant head. How can Hindus seek wisdom in Shiva if his rage and anger caused him to kill his own son? How can Hindus seek protection from Shiva if he could not protect his own son out of his ignorance? As for Parvati, she is worshipped for love, fertility and power. Parvati's love apparently did not prevent her from threatening to completely destroy the entire universe over the loss of her son. And her power was not enough to bring him back. Absolutely. Moreover, it shows how emotional she is, how irrational she is, threatening to destroy the whole universe. Even if she could do that, let's give her the benefit of the doubt yet again. But nevertheless, this is a human, a female emotion. She is angry, she is raging, she is angry at her husband. On the other hand, Allah is all-knowing. Nothing in the entirety of existence goes on without his knowledge and his permission. Allah says in Surah Fatiha, verse 38 Allah is also all-powerful. If he wants to revive anyone from the dead, he could easily do so. And Allah says in Surah Fusilat, verse 39 He also says in Surah Ar-Rum, verse 19 He also says in Surah Ar-Rum, verse 19 Absolutely beautiful to listen to the Quran. Ultimately, it lays out that Allah is the life giver. He creates, he destroys, he has dominion over everything. He's not a fallible person that has flaws. One night, Ganesha was out for a ride on his mount, a rat. Ganesha is often depicted as riding a mouse or a rat. As they were traveling, the moon suddenly appeared from behind a cloud and saw Ganesha. Ganesha was captivated by the moon's beauty and approached it. As he approached the moon, he fell off his mount. This caused the moon to start laughing at him. It is also said that the reason for the moon's mockery was due to Ganesha's big belly and elephant head. The moon is often associated with beauty, grace and elegance. So when the moon saw Ganesha's unusual appearance, it found it amusing and started laughing at him. Angered by the moon's mockery, Ganesha became so incensed that he cursed the moon, declaring that it would never again be whole. The moon, realizing its mistake, begged Ganesha for forgiveness. Ganesha relented and agreed to let the curse, but only partially. From that day forward, the moon would wax and wane, going full for a short time before shrinking back down again. This story is cited in Hindu mythology as to why the moon appears in different phases throughout the month. Hindus know Ganesha as the remover of obstacles and bringer of success and wisdom. In this story, Ganesha shows qualities of quick temper, rage, weakness and insecurity. How can Hindus expect Ganesha to remove their obstacles when he wasn't even able to prevent himself from falling off his mount? In Islam, the moon is considered one of the most beautiful signs of Allah. Allah created it with great precision and wisdom so that it can serve the purpose of preserving and maintaining the order of the universe. Allah says in Surah Tunis verse 5 It is He who made the sun a shining radiance and the moon a light, determining phases for it so that you might know the number of years and how to calculate time. Allah did not create all without a purpose. He explains his signs to those who understand. In Islam, the moon doesn't dare disrespect its creator nor mock him. Instead, it exalts him and worships him in a way we do not know. Allah says in Surah Tunisra verse 4 To be fair here, they don't say that Ganesha created the moon. Nevertheless, they worship Ganesha as a deity. And therefore, of course, the moon would never disrespect a deity higher than itself. It would never disrespect God in that sense. And therefore, Ganesha is not God. Allah says in Surah Tunisra verse 44 The seven heavens, the earth and all those in them glorify Him. There is not a single thing that does not glorify His praises. But you simply cannot comprehend their glorification. He is indeed most forbearing, all forgiving. This is one of my absolute favorite surahs within the Quran. And more overcoming from a Christian background, this was news to me. It was so amazing to see that everything glorifies God. That everything worships God, animals, plants, etc. It's just us human beings that have the choice, basically. The choice of submitting ourselves to God or rebelling against God. This gives us this absolute freedom in this world and this grand opportunity, of course. This is why it's such a blessing to get the chance to be guided by Allah. Vishnu. I know all those characters. I used to study Hinduism a bit. He is considered the preserver and protector of the universe responsible for maintaining the cosmic order. According to Hindu mythology, he was once resting under a banyan tree after a long period of work. As he rested, he noticed a beautiful woman walking nearby and became distracted by her beauty. He was so taken with her that he forgot his duties and responsibilities, causing chaos and disorder in the world. As Vishnu became more and more distracted by the woman, his wife Lakshmi, the Hindu goddess of wealth and prosperity, became concerned. She went to Vishnu and reminded him of his duty to the universe. She told him that he was responsible for maintaining order and balance in the world and that he needed to focus on his duties in order to prevent chaos from taking over. Vishnu realized his mistake and thanked Lakshmi for reminding him of his responsibilities. He then returned to his role as the preserver of the universe, restoring order and balance to the world. So there are two major flaws within this story if you notice. One is of course that he forgot his responsibility because he was lasting after a woman that is already extremely outrageous. However, there is another aspect that he rested. He actually needs rest and we all know that Allah needs no rest whatsoever. He does need to take a break. He is the eternal one. This is the main difference yet again that those are human qualities. Those gods here are flawed. There is a dude chilling under a tree looking after chicks forgetting his job. There are some other versions of the story that depict Vishnu's behavior as adulterous. In these versions, Vishnu is said to have taken the form of the beautiful woman and engage in a romantic relationship with himself. Hindus worship Vishnu for things like preservation, order and protection. In this story, Vishnu shows qualities of tiredness, weakness, irresponsibility and uncontrollable lust. What kind of order is Vishnu going to provide if he cannot control his own deep desires? What kind of preservation is he going to provide if he gets tired and requires rest? In Islam, Allah is exalted beyond tiredness and weakness. Allah never rests. He is ever living, preserving and sustaining all living things with his mighty power. Exactly right. He is the absolute. So if you pray to anything else, then the absolute, you're praying to something lesser than God automatically. What kind of God would it be if this God is not absolutely perfect? Think about it logically. If God has any type of flaw, then he cannot be God anymore. At least this is the concept of God that we worship as Muslims. And it is the only rational concept of God that anybody could truly worship and have respect for. Because if God has flaws like ourself, why would we look up to him? The only reason why our children are looking up to us is because they assume that we are perfect. Of course, later on in life they're going to be disappointed as well when they find out that we are not perfect. Only God is perfect, of course. Nevertheless, the presupposition is here that the child assumes that we as parents are those perfect role models. Those role models that are worthy to be obeyed. Why would you obey a God that is lasting after women? A God that needs rest is absolutely irrational. Only Islam shows the true perfection, the unity of God. Why would you worship anything less? Allah says in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 255 Allah has no god but Him. Al-Haiyyul Qiyyum. Do not take Him as a slave or a slave. He has what is in the heavens and what is on the earth. Who is He to whom He wills to intercede except with Him? He knows what is between their hands and what is behind them. And they do not keep anything from His knowledge except for what He wills. And He is the Greatest of the heavens and the earth. And He does not keep them, and He is the Greatest of the worlds. The keyword in this Surah here for me is the self-sustaining. Because this distinguishes God clearly from anything else we see in creation. Everything else relies upon sustenance of something else.  Then it continues on. You rely on sustenance of your environment through your parents, of course. To be fed, to be clothed. And everything else around you is dependent. As you can see, the trees are dependent on the sun. Animals are dependent on other animals. Everything eats each other. The only thing independent, the only thing self-sufficient is Allah. Hanuman was a young monkey with a voracious appetite. One day, he was wandering through the forest searching for food when he saw the sun rising in the sky. Hanuman was struck by the beauty of the sun and its bright orange color which he thought resembled that of a ripe fruit. Excited by the prospect of a delicious meal, Hanuman decided to fly up and grab the sun. He flew up high into the sky and tried to take a bite of the sun but he quickly realized his mistake. The sun was far too hot to eat and Hanuman could not even touch it without getting burned.  Hanuman realized his mistake and apologized to Surya. Other versions of the story mention that Indra are nothing... They'll see it again. Those gods, they have responsibilities. They have certain different jobs. This is how they are explained. They're not explained as the creator of everything. They are creations that have certain power over certain things. Hanuman, a Hindu god, struck Hanuman with his thunderbolt as he was approaching the sun and made him unconscious. Hanuman is worshipped for strength, courage, and wisdom. His strength, courage, and wisdom, however, did not stop him from mistaking the sun as a fruit and then proceeded to fail to eat it but instead fall unconscious. In Islam, however, Allah is all-knowing and all-powerful. He does not get hungry nor... Moreover, Allah being the ultimate truth, the ultimate reality, he could never be unconscious. Unconscious yet again is a human or an animalistic attribute, of course, where you lose consciousness, where you are not perceiving anything any longer. However, as we know, Allah is the all-seeing. He would never lose consciousness. Does he mistake anything for something else? No one is capable of striking him unconscious like Hanuman. No one is capable of overpowering him or causing harm to him. The stories that we have examined today have highlighted the significant differences between the false Hindu gods and Allah, the one true god. The Hindu gods have been depicted with negative qualities such as imprudence, ignorance, and tiredness, whereas Allah is revered for his perfect attributes of power, wisdom, and knowledge. These attributes make Allah the only true god deserving of worship and admiration. By comparing the two, it becomes evident that only Allah possesses the necessary qualities to maintain the universe's order and provide guidance and blessings to his followers. Therefore, we hope that Hindus will recognize the truth presented in this video and replace their animosity towards it with the willingness to follow and worship their Creator. By doing so, they can fulfill their life's true purpose and attain eternal happiness. Additionally, we hope that this video has provided Muslims with more love and appreciation towards their Creator and the guidance that he has bestowed upon them. Allah Akbar. Alright, this is it for today's video. I have to say awaited hour at the YouTube channel. Please check it out if you haven't already done an amazing job here, especially with the graphics. Absolutely phenomenally done. An artistic, high quality production. Back in the day I used to study Hinduism, Buddhism, Shamanism and many other different branches of those religions. I was fascinated by the description of consciousness, by the description of unity, etc. However, if you look into the theology of those doctrines, you will find flaws. As it was beautifully displayed in this video here, of course, we saw that those deities are flawed. And even if they exist, yet again, let's give them the benefit of the doubt. Let's say that those entities are real. They are surely not gods. Who knows what they are? We, of course, will take the position and say that they must be jins. And when you see them depicted, oftentimes they are frightening or in sexual positions. So we can only assume that they are malicious entities, some evil entities. And by listening to the Hindu texts here, we can only be confirmed in this assumption, of course, because they are displayed as being evil, as being angry, as being jealous, being sexually deviant, lusting after other people. So all of those attributes are clearly flaws. They are not beautiful attributes. They are not the 99 perfect names of Allah. Of course not. Those attributes show that those entities are malicious and are far away from being perfect. And therefore the question becomes, yet again, how can you worship something with a clear conscience that has those lesser desires? People nowadays will give the argument and say that Prophet Muhammad SAW was a warlord. Oh, he had multiple women and therefore he was following his desires. Don't you see? First and foremost, we can, of course, discredit that argument. But that being said, even if we would give him the benefit of the doubt and say, yes, all of this is true, which is not, then we still would have to remind them that nobody, nobody is worshiping Prophet Muhammad. In Islam, worship is to Allah alone, to God alone. This is the main difference here. If you compare Islam to other religions, you will see that other religions worship either people or deities. People worship the Buddha, people worship Jesus, people worship Krishna, Shiva, Parvati, Ganesha and whatnot. Don't you see? It is always directed away from God. And because they do that, they worship people and entities and creation. This is why they point their finger and they say, oh, but did you know Prophet Muhammad did this and that? And that's the whole point, guys. You are worshiping the creation. We are worshiping the Creator. All right, guys, but this is it for today's video. If you liked it, leave it a thumbs up.

Hey, wonderful people, all of my beautiful people. Yes, this is the one and only Jackie Mottube, and I am chilling with SOP and Buzz people. So you better watch out, they're the coolest in the game. I'd love to introduce this lady in so many words, but all I can say is she's outstanding. She's on TV every time. We're always catching her on Zora. There's also chats, but there's just so much that she's doing. Hi, Jay Mottubia. Hi, hi, what's up? Hi, how are you feeling today? I'm okay, I'm feeling awesome, yeah. And why have you come to support the Nairobi you feel? We're supporting our own. So it's also good for us. We always preach, people please support our own, while us, we don't support our own. So it's good to always support our own so that people can learn from our example, yeah. And beautiful you have been in so many, you've really actually literally grown up watching her every time. You are not old, you can't be older in this tummy. I try, I try. It's really nice, I love to pinpoint that. Now come back to me later. Father Ali, Edo, take a glimpse of how she looks today. I want you to see her dress, the details and everything. Hey, yeah, I try, I try. So speaking of the details, I noticed you have a ring. She does have a ring actually, she has a ring. No comment. Are you still married? To who? You tell me. How many children you took when I was young? I am a sedulary, just the sharing with someone. Yeah, yeah. If I may ask, is that someone, the same guy who you've worked in with, just saying, oh you know, matching, matching. No comment. Yes, yes, yes, just no comment. Okay, so I'll ask you, as an actor, you've been in the industry for so long, that you know, at times, you know, you only see the same faces over and over again. What do you have saw those people? What do you have told the public? As much as you see the same faces over and over again, we also give space to, let me call them the upcoming of the newbies, because for us to introduce something new, the people tend, Kenyans tend to want to see old faces first, and then once we set the pace, we move. For example, if I can take an example of Sahidi, we were set for a pace back in OJ, they moved. We set our own pace, from where they left it, we took it to another level, we moved. At the end of the day is we have to take, we have to always like set a pace for people. At the office, you see who are the newbies come and then you moved, you're promoted to the next level, it's the same thing as acting. So sometimes, sometimes we tend to, because now you see, you find that they call us the oldies, we ask oldies are to, what drivers is not the money anymore or the fame? It's the passion. Now you find newbies are driven by the fame and the money. So you tend to lose the message that you're trying to need, you tend to lose the industry a little bit. So that's why I ask newbie, we need to stabilize everything. So that's why you only see us. Let me ask you, beautiful, are you still on chat sports? No, it's been, I think two years now. I left chats for, I think two years ago in December, yeah. Yeah.  How do you balance life and the work? Cause these are two different things, your personal life and your work. I always tell people, it's not easy baby, it's not easy but I always have one thing that drives me is a good life for my child and that's what makes me, I wake up every single day at five a.m. Regardless, because if I'm not going on sets, I am also shooting content for you guys. So basically I'm always on the clock because I want a better life for my child. I want, I want, I want, cause I reach from living come out from me, I want family to come out from me, yeah, right? So yeah, so I work hard for my daughter to just give her a better life. Who doesn't want a good life? So yeah, yeah. Speaking of your daughter, are you planning on having a second baby? Maybe. Oh yeah, for real? Yeah, maybe. Maybe. Yeah, baby, your daughter is adorable, let me just tell you. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love cute pics, the mom and daughter goes. You know. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Something to look up to. So beautiful, you have done so much work and you copy a commercial model. What's the one challenge that you can say? This has been so challenging for me, but I got past it and it was the hardest time for you. My skin tone and my size. That has been a battle, like that has been something stressful.  But we just so happy that these days that the industry is, it has adjusted and us, you know, thick women, we are welcomed to the place and it's good for us to just be comfortable in our own skin and our own shape and size, yeah.
