What is going on guys welcome back to the channel critical overlord here So this will be the spoiler review for screen 5 screen 2022 whatever you want to call it Once again, it's come to us from 2 3rds of radio silence Matt Benelli open Tyler Gillette pinned by James Vanderbilt guy music bringing back all of the returning og characters or og stars Neve Campbell David Arquette Courtney Cox along with the new crop of Woodsboro victims for Ghostface to have fun within this new entry So again taking place 25 years after the events of the original was bro murders Another person has decided to don the Ghostface mask in an effort to attempt to uncover and bring to light seekers They were thought to be buried deep within the town's past going on from that We have a new Sydney Or someone who is going to be filling that filling that role I would say so Melissa Barrera stars as Sam Carpeter Who has a very troubled past. She is Basically lured back to Woodsboro by the start of this new Ghostface killing spree That's basically targeting her the same way you found out how Sydney Prescott was dealing with trauma related to her mother a year prior to the new Woodsboro killings happening in the original film Where we learned her mother died and of course there was an ongoing trial regarding who she thought it killed her mother With this one you find out that Sam is the daughter of Billy Loomis You find that out very early on the way it's woven into the movie and the way they just let it flow and play out They don't try to be overly dramatic with it or anything They kind of just drop the bomb on you very early on you do find out how Sam found out about this revelation At one point or another when she was a kid She found out reading through her mother's old diaries and found out that her mother had a thing for this guy Of course, this tells us that Billy cheated on Sydney and this had to have happened either during the killings themselves in 96 Or maybe even shortly prior to them actually taking place so What I would say is that whole entire thing is the way again, it's done and executed is very It doesn't feel shoehorned again because of how they do it It feels organic it feels like it flows well into the events that unfold and It again acts as the Marine Prescott subplot the new Marine Prescott subplot where you now have Ghostface Taunting and using that against Sam throughout the movie This allows her to have some very emotional moments with general or take a character general or take his character Tara Carpenter who is her younger sister there's also some tension that you will see between Sam and Some of Tara's friends most I think most specifically I what I want to say is I'm referring to Amber who's played by Mikey Madison She seems to have some type of grudge against against Sam I don't think they ever really actually touch on What it is other than maybe her just not Liking the fact that she left Tara because Sam left town once she turned 18 and left left Tara behind with their mother Christina And in fact when she found out about their father that she wasn't actually their father's child and the actual child of Billy Loomis The dad heard from Sam yelling at the mother and that's what caused the dad to leave So the way Ghostface is using this against her is what they're trying to do is frame Sam for these new Woodsboro killings In an effort to spawn that the true stab sequel that they think they are owed So that is the motive that you have in screen 5, which I think is very timely It speaks to a lot of things regarding toxic fandom and a lot of ways because you you come across them online I'm sure you do a lot of us who are on Twitter in the screen community We know of one particular individual who is like this where they're just Targeting the cast and very nasty tweets and just you know This is basically like that, but very exacerbated now You're you're going very overboard you feel so entitled to a specific movie that you're out killing people in hopes that you will finally get that Very sick and twisted and but also very timely speaking to a lot of things regarding entitlement within fandom today And just how people they don't know how to separate art from artists a lot of time And they get too personal when it comes to things that they don't like a certain IP that they were a fandom of doing so in regards to the killers Sam of course has a boyfriend much like silly did who is portrayed by Jack Quaid Ritchie and he is indeed one of the killers He lies his ass off saying he doesn't know anything about the stab movies you find out. That's a lie the way James and a guy Built these new characters up the way that Mindy in specific is done again She's like the mouthpiece of most of the not most but some of the audience members who like to piece together the movie before You watch it. You get a chance to get a feel of how they're all Having this great chemistry amongst them when they're playing with each other one scene in particular Again, this is what Mindy is when she's down in the basement with Mikey Madison's character of Amber And they're just playing off of each other so well about rules of surviving and just what to do and what not to do The way all of that is done in past is probably some of the best pacing at times in the movie because again When they get to the final act it is a bit rushed Matt and Tyler do a tremendous job again at building tension and just delivering a lot of scares laughs humor and heartbreak You're gonna be crying Dewey Riley is the person that Sam goes to for assistance in this before Gail and Dewey get involved He ends up getting involved out of after having a phone call with Sydney who is again portrayed brilliantly by Neve Campbell and He just feels compelled to defend his town again, even though he's not sheriff He ends up getting himself killed because he wants to play Respects and play it smartly in relation to the events or the rules to survive a horror movie Insisting that he needs to finish off Ghostface by shooting them in the head This ends up getting him killed and that's what prompts Sydney to come back and Gail ends up getting involved And they are both there in the nick of things for the in the thick of things for the final act The chemistry between Cox and Campbell in this film I would say is on another level and the way they are just you know that that that death of Dewey While I don't think they spend enough time letting them process it this adds a a cushion underneath that bond now they are very much so much more tightly bond over that death and The way they come together and get justice for Dewey in the end with the other partner from Richie's partner Amber because she's the one who killed Richie They essentially take her out and we see it in the trailer. It's just gonna be a very satisfying moment There's a lot of that and that end of a sub now that I see what they're talking about the way that's done that whole effect Was just breathtaking to see they did a great job doing that Brian Tyler score again adds a lot of emotional weight to To a lot of moments more specifically now Dewey's death very gut-wrenching at times I was like that didn't just happen But then as the movie is progressing and Gail even has a line at the end where she says she thinks she's gonna Write a book about the man who used to be a sheriff of the town It just hits you because do you even though he was a very I guess the most expendable That lovable goof side of him is how he ends up dying and you gotta love how he goes out He goes out in true Dewey fashion But it just makes the the style or the use of the trio in this one that much more powerful and emotional for long-time fans of the Franchise because the two-thirds that are now remaining their bond is rendered so much more tight And you also get a good final girl now with Sam Carpenter to carry us into the future of the franchise Again a lot of witty dialogue and a lot of dialogue that's self-referential and very much meta and referencing modern horror Again, I'm still gonna give this movie a seven and a half out of ten Also with the knowledge of knowing that Sam is Billy's daughter when you go back and rewatch scream You have to kind of acknowledge that some of that dialogue in the original film is now foreshadowing for the events that unfold in screen 5 the events that unfold in this new chapter From Guy Busek and James Vanderbilt. They have essentially turned so much dialogue from the original movie Into foreshadowing for things that happen in this latest entry and I think that was another clever little thing That was intentionally done on their end the kills in the movie again I'm not gonna say they're very memorable. You get a lot of brutal ones the most brutal I would say was indeed Judy Hicks outside of her front yard that caught me off guard I would say there's a lot of callbacks to the third movie for sure with that sequence where she's running back to her house or driving back to her house to save West Hicks from his inevitable death, but The thing about it is the way it's done I'm so caught up in the moment in the way that they have you on the edge of your seat hoping that this mother can of course save her son She basically is killed. So she goes face catches her off guard and it just I knew it was coming I knew she would die in her front yard because of the TV spots but it's just like I wasn't expecting it to go down and it's the way they still filmed it that caught me off guard and it was just very brutal the fact that he did that in broad daylight and The other thing that I want to say is just that this is the first time We've had a pairing of killers who were on the same page all the way through They did not turn on each other You have a lot of franchise first for this new entry that I don't think a lot of you should overlook You may not like the fact that Sam is Billy's daughter, but again the way that it's done It's not done in a way that feels shoehorn in the reason it does not feel shoehorn is again How they decide to treat it they don't decide to prolong it For to be something you learn in the end of the movie This is something that you already know the killer already knows it all you're waiting to now know is What does this killer want to do with this knowledge and you find out again? It's related to them wanting to get the true stab sequel that they think they are deserved Because they have a disdain for all the other sequels that have come before since the original stab I can guess that's the only one that they love the other thing that I want you all to probably acknowledge and think About is the fact that you now have a trilogy that can be deemed the Billy Loomis trilogy or just the Loomis trilogy You have screamed with Billy Loomis. You have screamed to Mrs. Loomis Debbie salt and now you have screamed three the daughter and Grandchild of those two who is nothing like them. She is your new final girl They're doing a lot of flipping on the head of other core Cliche's and other things that they've already done before in the franchise such as the fact that you already had a secret child with Roman Bridger, but Roman was the villain Sam is not the villain There's just so many things that are being flipped on their head to allow this to still remain fresh The motive is probably the freshest it's ever been since Mickey and scream to as far as like the fact that it's amber and richie They are just completely insane and while you may think that amber and richie were predictable And that's who you pulled the way it's all still executed makes for a fun ride You were going to have a good time watching this movie. There's the humor is there It's not ill timed the humor just flows with everything else on your screen Nothing feels like a cue for laughter the humor and the laughs just come very naturally The thing that I loved the most during the final act was just all the insanity going on But I wish they would have let certain parts of it breathe because it was kind of just speeding through it felt like it We're trying to rush through because they knew the credits were coming up But maybe there's some extended cut out there that we'll get to see because you have a group a group of survivors That are going to carry us into an interesting direction I would say they take enough risk to give you a group of heritage that you'll want to see carry the mantle into the future so you have Mindy Chad And no you have Mindy Chad Sydney and Gale and then you have Jen or take us character of Tara Carpenter and then Sam Carpenter in Melissa Barrera So you have like six people there of Mindy Chad Sydney and Gale and then Yeah, Tara and Sam so you have like a group of six survivors. There's some other people that survived They weren't that important so I'm not gonna count them But yeah, the motive this time around again was the most freshest out of the bunch In terms of just how they recreated the whole maca house I thought that was great the look of the film and the serious more darker serious tone that they go for works a lot For me personally because I felt that the tone was uneven at times with scream for feeling a little too hokey Brian Tyler again, he does a great job at trying to recreate some of those famous and notable Pieces from Marco Beltrami such as Sidney's Sidney's Lambit You hear that at times in the film and you also get to hear the red right hand song again That's back in full effect a lot of the characters. Yes, are just here for the sake of being killed But you're gonna have a good time with this movie I enjoyed it the look of the film and the more serious dark Tony was going for I thought it was a good fit You know, this isn't a direct aid You know, this isn't a film being directed by West Craven because they have a very unique style to them And what I like is this effect that they were doing their own thing while paying respect to what came before and that's all they needed to do They didn't need to try to be Like West in any way, but they they did it in in a very solid way when they were trying to do it The first shot of the movie even in with the house That's the carburetor house where Gino or take his character Tara is waiting inside to start having that Brilliantly done back and forth with Roger L. Jackson who was in his bag again in this movie over the phone That first little shot does a great job at establishing a lot of mood and atmosphere I would say for what is about to unfold in that house The way they use a lot of the background environment to kind of make use the viewer pay attention to those things and just build Constantly doing good things to build up tension. There's at one point even in the part where West dies Where they are just like they're playing with you. They're having fun playing with you You know, it's coming, but you're on the edge of your seat just waiting for it to finally happen They do a great job of just towing with with the fans This is a movie again from fans for the fans and they understood what the f they were doing I have to say that the other thing I want to talk about of course is Melissa We're because I've seen that a lot of people yes or praising general or take a jasmine support brown Everyone as far as performances is solid overall I would say it's not it's not completely consistent with good performances There are some things where I'm like, oh, you could have done that better You could have delivered that better or you could have just done better overall in general so like Melissa I would say she's consistently just giving a solid performance and a very new side of what we can expect to see in a final girl So Sydney again was very much some someone that we would consider like the girl next door Sam has a much more darker edgier side to her that isn't fully uncovered in this one You'll get to see that play out more Hopefully if we get more entries and hopefully we get to learn some more about her criminal past because she does have that as well But Melissa Borreira she manages to evoke a lot of emotions her and general or take a do have great chemistry when they're sharing the scene Together it's nice to see that sisterly bond form between them as the movie is progressing And they just kill it. They kill it. Everybody is hitting it from all cylinders It's just not all it's just that the performances are not consistently good There are some parts I'm like, oh, that was a bad thing to do or you just weren't that good at that point but everyone overall is in their bag they're hitting it and Some of my favorite performances did indeed come from just another side note from Sonya Mar who played live McKenzie She unfortunately does not make it out of the movie She is like the first person to die during the final act before Amber and Richie start unfolding and trying to make their plan complete What I do love is how if you go back and rewatch the movie there are a lot of cleverly placed Easter eggs for you and surprises and Cameos such a skeet all rich Since he's back as Billy Loomis and Sam has hallucinations of him there's a lot of clearly placed things that are in this movie and the other thing that They do so good is with how they have Sam hallucinating about Billy and with the de-aging of of skeet You can tell his CGI that at this stage in the game, you know the times are in I'm not gonna say it was a bad job. He looks he he looked great He looked he looked like how he did in 96 as close as you can possibly make him look so I like that and the the fallacies for me in terms of the writing just comes on of course hospital staff Just some writing mishaps And but the the the pros come from the fact that you give us characters who do have their own little traits about them They make them stand out in ways Not everyone is developed enough to the point where you'll care about their survival or not I've already said that in my spoiler free review. I believe Uh, they do a great job at giving you things to pinpoint on when you rewatch the movie for instance Then also, there's a cleverly placed easter egg that I will say for people who want to know if Kirby Reed is alive There's a moment when Richie is on his computer And in his video recommendations on the right you see a video title come up that says interview with survivor Kirby Reed which is definitely one of my favorite easter eggs from the film among other things So Kirby is indeed alive Hayden wasn't back But maybe she'll be back for future entries at this point because at night Now we at least know that radio silence are indeed very big fans of that character because they recently revealed this on the podcast With that ryan recently did who runs the screen podcast shout out to you So hopefully she'll be able to come back and mix it up again with ghostface and these new group of characters that we have Because I think Kirby would have a very good very good amount of scenes with uh Jasmine's character Mindy who is also a big horror nerd and she's just she's gonna she's gonna be one of the most Lovable characters out of the new group of kids. Uh, this new group of survivors is the most diverse honestly it is But let me know what you guys think about this down in the comment section below If you haven't already, of course, make sure you subscribe turn on postification You never miss a video in the description. I have links from my social media accounts on my facebook twitter and instagram You can message me there, of course, let me know is any movies news or views you'd like me to cover in the future And with all that in mind guys, I will see you in the next video


Hi, how you doing? This is Rich from Rich to Be Live. I'm here with a very special guest. It's Dan Mitri, the CEO of New Wave eSports. How you doing today, Dan? I'm great. Thank you for having me. Oh, thank you for being here. Why don't we get started with you telling us a little bit about your background with New Wave eSports? Sure, yeah. So I'm a 17-year video game industry veteran. I sat on the publisher and developer side, so I very much understand how games are developed, how games resonate with our gamers and those ecosystems and the lifestyles that are created out of the IPs that we take live. Then on the publisher side, I've worked very much on global marketing campaigns and started community engagement programs and understanding how gamers get connected with our brands. And that's all very important because we've seen a lot of different transitions from box product to the digital formats of buying video games from MySpace to Twitch and YouTube as influencer spaces and now from just ship a game to the live service component of games, which builds another five to six, seven years on games that are live. And that's where eSports comes into play. eSports is very much a retention tactic. And so I bring all of my experience in gaming by working with Electronic Arts, THQ, Sega of America and all these other great companies and franchises like Battlefield and Madden and NBA and FIFA, all these inherently competitive titles. We bring all this expertise around collaborations and partnership and sponsorship opportunities over to New Wave eSports. Now I'm joined by my financial counterparts that are great at raising capital, building great businesses, and we're this double-headed dragon that is New Wave eSports. And so we seek to acquire, invest, and develop technologies by deploying working capital into small and mid-stage companies. And I'll end by saying we're unlike your traditional investment group where, hey, here's a check. We'll check in every quarter to see how that's performing. We actually get very involved in our companies. We take advisory roles many times. We sit within the C-level executive teams and we drive strategy and executions and understanding where new revenue opportunities lie and create better businesses. That's great. Now, New Wave eSports is focused on investment verticals and acquisitions, which you touched on. Can you tell us a little bit about some of the companies you've invested in? Sure, yeah. So we invest in four different sectors within gaming. That's number one, teams, leagues, organizations, secondly, platforms and networks, third, events and activations, and then finally, technologies and tools. And so one of the investments we placed a significant investment in is Team Lazarus. One of Canada's premier teams owned and operated by Tidal Gaming. So we very much work closely with Charlie Watson, their CEO, David Breeson, their president, and help strategize how they're going to grow their organization. Now, if you haven't heard of Team Lazarus recently, certainly they made some major headlines. They took home 3.5 million in the Fortnite World Cup. Yes. Yeah, they won. Second in the duos, fourth in the singles, and that put them on the map. Wow. What they like about Lazarus is they have 50 plus players worldwide. They operate in 10 different countries across 12 different games. So they have a diversified background. They're competing in all sorts of different tournaments, but they have one of the first all women's eSports teams. Oh, wow. Yeah, they collaborated with She Is. So they're pushing eSports forward from a diversity angle. Love Lazarus and what they're doing is certainly making wakes in the industry. One of our second investments is Playline. Playline is a daily fantasy sports platform available on mobile iOS, Android, and web, and they're bringing in an eSports component. They have been bottom line profitable. They're killing it, and people love going to their site and betting on the outcome of matches. So you can walk away with a cool million in hand if you actually were to predict every stat in line. Wow. Yeah, so they're contributing to eSports in a way that the global community can engage in. Thirdly, on the events and activations pillar, we invested in a company called Even Match Up Gaming. They run and operate the biggest Super Smash Brothers tournaments in Canada and in the Tri-State area with majors called Get On My Level and Let's Make Moves. They're partnered with Nintendo. They've got great non-endemic sponsorship interests such as Red Bull. And what they're doing, they are boots on the ground. They are the energy of eSports in an on-site component. So if you've ever been to an eSports event, the energy is insane. I haven't, but you make me want to go. No, it's wild because you're there and you can buy merchandise. There's food and beverage, but then you're also watching what's happening on stage. A lot of the time these kids have the Twitch stream up on their phone.  So they're hyper-engaged audiences and Even Match Up Gaming has certainly dialed in and optimized that sector. And then fourthly, we have technology and tools. So as eSports solutions, there's needs in eSports. We're developing solutions to meet those needs. And that may be additional platforms and maybe tools to better understand our audiences. So building better business intelligence in order to build better businesses. That's great. Now what would be your mission statement considering you're in the fastest growing eSports industry? Yeah, look, we're passionate about gaming. We're passionate about eSports. I built my career on this. So my mission statement is to create something sustainable and contribute back to an ecosystem that has been thriving. And so we do that by building great businesses that each individually not only run and operate in their own silo, but collaborate with other businesses within the eSports ecosystem. So we're building something that has resilience. And resiliency is very important as we have rise and fall of economies. But gaming has always been recession-proof. And since the dawn of playing video games, we've always wanted to watch people play games better than we could. So look, eSports is going to be here for a while. And New Wave eSports is here to contribute to that. That's great. Now with eSports on pace to becoming a billion-dollar industry, there are a lot of companies looking to catch onto the hype. How does New Wave eSports set itself apart from the competition? Yeah, so like I said previously, we're unlike your traditional investment group. We're not just going to cut a check and then check in every quarter to see how that's doing. We actually get very involved. So many times we do take advisory roles and we incentivize that, whether it's with stock options or whatever that may be. But we want to see businesses flourish. And we want to contribute our expertise within the gaming side of things. So whether that's those relationships with publishers and developers, understanding where games are starting to take off or where they may go in the future, but also bringing all that great sponsorship revenue over, bringing in other collaborations and partnerships with non-endemic and endemic brands. And then on the financial side, being able to raise more capital, contribute to development costs and seeing those companies expand. That's great. So your team is filled with professionals from finance and gaming. Tell us more about the team that you've put together. Sure, yeah. So my gaming side, I'm the gaming guru. And so I bring in Trouble Fisher. He's a 13-year financial expert. He has raised significant capital within cannabis and mining and brings all of that expertise over to eSports. And he's also co-led several hedge funds. So he gets money. He knows how to exercise money and how to place that intelligently and see that flourish. And I'm also joined by Clayton Fisher here in Vancouver. And so between us three, we really are pushing the industry forward within eSports. But I also have a network of advisors and their boots on the ground, whether they're video game marketers or they're financial experts, they have a global footprint. So we're looking at eSports from a global scale and continuing to develop new opportunities within Asia and within Europe. So as we go live here pretty soon, we're going to have a global presence. That's great. Now congratulations. I heard on September 19th it was announced that new wave eSports will be trading under the symbol N-W-E-S on the CSE, the Canadian Securities Exchange. When can our viewers expect the trading to start? That's still a secret. I'm still waiting on the CSE to give me that final date, but we are looking at the end of October. For our investors that are watching, it's very important for Rich TV Live members to know about a company's share structure. What's your share structure look like? Currently we have 72 million shares outstanding with approximately 50 million in warrants. We're excited with the way that's netted out. So as we go live, a lot of these warrants will be coming in and that will just contribute to our expansion at that global scale that we talked about. Okay, great. And for the investors that are watching all over the world at home, why would they be interested in buying this stock? Why would they want to invest in new wave eSports? Yeah, number one, eSports is barely tapped, especially here within North America. Obviously Asia is certainly significantly ahead of us. Europe has some great collegiate scenes, but here in North America we're at the ground level. Get in early to get those multipliers coming in. Secondly, we're the experts here. We understand where some of the greatest growth opportunities are. We're very close with the eSports companies. We're close with the publishers and developers. So let us do the hard work for you and vet all those deals coming in. And thirdly, we have a diversified portfolio. That's important to, again, create resiliency in a booming market. So as one sector may rise and be quite profitable, we're going to continue putting our resources and our expertise into that. But where some may stagnate, we'll analyze that and we'll dial in how we can build that back up again. So resiliency is key here. Okay, great. And without giving away too much, what can investors be excited about for a new wave of eSports in the near future? So as we go live, we're going to continue expanding our portfolio, certainly bring in some quite attractive deals that we're assessing out right now in Asia, but we're also bringing in the European subsidiary. So we are very much going to have a global footprint. We'll have that global presence because eSports is a global phenomenon. We don't want to just operate in North America, so we are spreading our wings. That's great. And where can viewers find more info on the company? Check us out at newwavsports.com or any social network that you're at. So we're there. We've got great content coming out in the daily. You can learn more about us and you can always just reach out to us. We'd love to have a chat. Okay, great. Well, thank you so much for your time today, Dan. This is Dan, the CEO of New Wave eSports. This is Rich from Rich TV Live. Have a nice day.


My name is Vina. I work at the SPD Digital as a software engineer. Tonight I would like to share with you more like walkthrough with the live demo with all of you. This is one of the famous web surface sites called Fever. But specifically on Fever Fashion 3, why? Because I think it's so cool. Can I like know how many of you have heard Fever before? Wow, okay. Quite a lot. So some of you might have asked why Fever, right? I have this graph that is presented by Tanner Nelson, the creator of Fever himself. He actually presented this in TriSwift conference in New York in 2017. His argument is that as a Swift developer, you probably want to build on app and you need a backend. So you have a choice like CloudKit, Game Center API, or Firebase as a backend as a surface. On the other hand, in terms of the functionality, you can use very advanced stuff from ExpressJS or Ruby on Rails that can do almost everything. But the learning steep for you is very high because you have to learn a different set of skills all together. So that's where IBM, Qtura, or Fever comes in whereby you will still get to use Swift but you can still build the same functionality as those traditional frameworks like Ruby on Rails or Node.js. So I highly recommend you to read the post about his talk here.  We will jump right into the setup so I hope you can follow it through with me. The first thing that you need to do is that you need a Swift 4.1 and for Fever, they actually provide a very convenient check which is this command line. And when you hit it, they will actually tell whether your system is compatible or not with the Fever 3. If you have difficulties in setting up the Swift 4.1 in the command line, you can use this Swift ENV in which I'm also using it right now. If you have it installed, you can choose what is the global Swift version that you want to choose. I find that the command line and the Xcode are two different things, meaning if you are using Xcode 9.1 or 9.2 like me, chances are you are still running on Swift 4.0 and it cannot run, it cannot do Fever. I'm gonna need to switch back. And chances are you need the Swift 4.1 toolchain to run the Fever. For example, once you launch your Xcode, you can go to the preference under the components and if you have the toolchain installed, you will see the Swift 4.1 release being used. And nevertheless, once you install this, it doesn't mean that your command line will run on the 4.1. You need the Swift ENV again to set it. So once you have this set up, you can use the Fever tool box to kickstart your Fever version. For example, I already installed using this brew install Fever and you can also do brew upgrade Fever whenever you want. The current one is version 3.1.4 and this is how you generate a new project Fever, new for example also API dash dash branch equal to beta.  Oops, sorry, I get ahead of myself. So for example, I already inside the project folder. It's because before this, I was trying like after I do the Fever new, I actually execute this thing called Fever Xcode dash Y to generate the Xcode project file. And it takes some time to generate or fetching the dependencies that Fever needs. But once you get it, they will actually open the Xcode for you and you are able to run it. What you need to do is that when you open it, usually the default target is this package. So all you need to do is just change it to run and click run. And it should run the server. As you can see here, it's actually running on localhost 8080. In that case, why is it not found? I'm going to explain it soon. I can't speak this. Why is it not found? That is because we're going to jump into the next topic that is about the routes and the parameters. The routes basically explain that the URL that you want to hit or usually we call it the endpoint. You can see in this file for routes.swift, there's the router.getHello and just returning a simple string called hello world. This is exactly what I just need to append it with slash hello. And then I'm going to see the hello world here. So everything that you define in the routes.swift actually will be reflected on the user side. Now, if you want to add more parameters or let's say you want to capture more parameters, I already prepared the shortcut. I'm going to capture a hello slash somebody as a string. And then what you need to do is just adding one more router and then you capture the string, convert it as a parameter, then return it to the user. I should say this. If I run this, I should be able to capture, let's say, for example, hello Stephanie. You see, the beautiful part of using Swift is that you know that if the parameter is a string, you can still use the string function from Swift. So you don't really need to find out like, oh, I want to use Ruby on Rails. How do I process string in Ruby or in JavaScript? And let's say if I put a breakpoint here and I capture again, I reload again. It's actually stopping at the breakpoint. So it's really nice to use export as an IDE because we are so used to it on a daily basis. We always use export for and we can continue again. You can even inspect the memory that they're using. I mean, isn't it cool, right? All right. The next question will be like, what about if you want to capture more parameters? What I mean by more parameters is that, for example, I want to capture three parameters, string, if, and string. The conclusion is that the extraction order matters. What do I mean by that? Is that with this code? If I have three parameters that I want to capture, string in string, but when I capture it as string string int, it will throw me an error. Wait, what happened here? Oh, the next. To get rid of the next. If I rerun it again, let's say I'm capturing two parameters, one is string and int. I can go to Halos Stephanie's last, like, 21. And I'm capturing it properly, right? But if I edit some more with, let's say I want to eat, it's going to return me an error saying that invalid parameters like string int. This is because the extraction order matters should be string int string rather than string int. If I switch this and rerun it again, I should be able to get it like that. So that's pretty much about routes and parameters. Any questions so far? If you want to ask a question, please feel free to ask any, stop me anytime. The next is how about returning a JSON? We definitely need to know how to return a JSON form of an API, right? To return a JSON is very simple. You just need to create an object as a model which is instruct and create your route. Let's go to the example right now. For example, I'm going to create a struct called topContentData, which has a title, type, sequence, start time, and you just need to generate the route. The route basically is saying that if you hit slash top, I'm going to create a top object and return it to me. Every time you do this, you have to reload again. Reload again and this time I have to say slash top and it's just really simple as simple as that. That is how you can return a JSON. The next thing is I'm going to need to touch on the Faber-3 asynchronous architecture. Why? Because it's one of the biggest changes since Faber-2 and Faber-3 because when Faber-3 has asynchronous architecture, they got a lot of performance boosts and they built it on top of Apple Swift Neo, the networking library. To make use of that, you simply need to wrap your request in promise and that means that, for example, if you used to return an array of top, right now you just need to wrap it in a future generic array of top. Just like that, yeah. And then a simple tips on how you work with the futures, which I got from Ray Wendelik's Faber-3 book chapter 4 that you use flat map when you want to return a future. You use Mac when you want to return type other than future. You use transform when you know the future is going to be completed but you will ignore the result. For example, when you delete an object, you simply delete it and not returning the same object to the user.  Yeah, just like that. And then, data persistence. I should show you first how Faber handled this by default. You can see in the configured of Swift, right, by default when you kickstart a new Faber project, they use SQLite. And they're just saying, if you don't have a SQLite underscore path in your environment variable, they're going to start it in the memory. Well, that means that anything that we post to the API will just be lost, right? So we have to find a way to process it. Now, one of the beautiful things about Faithport is that they have the Fluent ORM that supports SQLite, MySQL and PostgreSQL. I think there are more. I could be wrong. But let's say for simplicity of this demo, I'm just going to use SQLite and so I can delete this and replace it with SQLite path that I want called db.sqlite. Okay, so right now I don't have any db.sqlite and once I run this, it's going to create the db.sqlite for me. So right now we are ready to sort of make the creation persisted somewhere in the database. However, just for a suggestion from the creator of Faithport itself, do not use SQLite in the production. I'm not sure whether that's agreeable or not. Yeah. So without further ado, I'm going to demonstrate to you how do we do the crowd demo, the create, update and delete. First, what you need to do is you need to create a top model, just like how we did with the parameter disk now. And you also need to create a file called talks controller to handle all the get and post method. One thing for me is that you need to generate the sweep file from the terminal so that you get the right file target. What I mean by file target is that you know, in this, every sweep file they are attached to one target membership here. So by creating it from the command line this will help you to get the oops, sorry, get the right target. Sources, app, models, sweep, sources. So after you create this, you typically need to do another paper code. The reason is because it's not instantly show or updated here. So this is the reason why you have to regenerate the export approach again. And they should, okay, I should stop it. Generating one-to-one. So they just gonna do a load and now you see your file here. Talk controller and top. Okay, now we're going to do the talk model. Luckily I already prepared some good stuff. Now when you create a top it should be you should import the paper you should also import the flow in SQLite. There are other if you are using MySQL they actually have my SQLite. I don't know, the auto-complete is not working here but it should be. I think should be like that. Yeah. I think this is correct. See we got a line. I don't support PostgreSQL. You already. All right, anyway. It should be a subclass of a codeable where you can define your ID and you should create a constructor for that. And you should subclass from SQLite model migration, content and parameter. That's by default. Actually the explanation is that migration is for the database content is when you want to create a top they will need to map it to content and then when you want to do like get one top by ID they will need to do the parameter. And then for the edit to migration section in configure, oh yeah in the configure they actually have a migration here. You just add your model there so it will be top. So and then next is the top controller. Top controller will be okay by default a top controller struct is needs to conform to protocol route collection that you only need to implement one function called boot. The boot will have something like red route the author.group I want to say to access the api you need to use something like slash api slash tops. And then you register all the handler here. For example, I'm going to register for get all handler. It's the same thing with I want to get all the top. And then after that you register it to get. If it is a get use get all handler as simply as that. And then how do the routes function know that you actually have that controller is that you have to register it in the routes.swift so the routes.swift we will know that oh I have this router registration from this task controller so now if we run this and I'm going to use RESTed to test it so this REST is going to do an api call to my local host and I am actually getting a 200 okay but it's an empty array why because we don't have any talk yet right nevertheless we already have the basic get so next is there oh sorry I still need to create I still need to create the create handler to create handler here so the create handler basically says that I need I'm going to need to pass a JSON body from this talk create data did I create a talk create data so this is basically saying that I'm going to pass you a JSON that should matches this talk create data and after that you create the top object and then save it in the database I guess we have to try oops sorry register the route here so I need to add the create handler the route should be a post and if the post has a parameter okay notice that there is a lot of Xcode annoying stuff like this which I'm going to talk on later create handler this looks to be okay so now I get all talks and I still get empty array and I'm going to create a new talk for example this is the talk that I'm creating and I'm actually getting a response body which the talk that I created and it's actually automatically assigned with ID number 1 so we can do another one favorite number 3 is awesome yep I'm getting ID number 2 now and then for example this one is once create and then send request again and I'm getting an ID number 3 if I go back to the get all talk I should be getting all 3 awesome right so just by like how many minutes pass already almost run 15-10 minutes you basically already have your own local host API running now just to get everything quick right we're gonna need to add like 3 more one is the add get handler get handler means like you get one talk based on the ID again you do it in the talks controller get handler if you are if you are getting one one talk by the ID you can still use the future but you don't really need to use like flat map or anything it's just that you try to get the parameter itself which is the talk and then for the update handler we'll just add the update handler first update handler here the update basically will try to parse your talk ID and then say that since you're posting a new data of that same talk it's just gonna do the you know the plain old like the old one equal to the new one okay and then for the delete handler as the example mentioned before what you need to do is just like you search by the top ID and then you do the talk.delete and transform to you need to tell me whether it's okay or deleted or not right so after all this remember always remember to register your route here for example just now the the update is still using this one right talk.parameter using update handler except for the delete there's another special delete but you still have to capture it using this talk.parameter actually right when you create the object and you subclass it from the parameter if I command this it should throw me an error right it's because when you subclass it to the parameter oh sorry when you want to post you need to subclass it from the parameters yeah like that I think we can run it now so what we need to do now is first remember that we implemented the one get talk by ID so we had three talks and then let's say I want to get the top ID number 2 what I need to do is just get it wait what did I run it oh yeah okay this error actually really told you that there are two routes two that has the same route because I register here as a talks and did I also do the talks here yeah I think I should command it first oh sorry sorry this one has to be the different so if I want to get top by ID number 2 wait yeah update handler overriding route output at post api talks if I go to the api talks I still get all three open the id one two three any idea I haven't created it yet good one if I talk the parameter then I should use get handler nice one thanks for saving me yeah so if you want to try to get talks that don't have the id yet it's gonna just by default throw an error and then the same thing for update handler if you want to update top by ID let's say I want to update top number 2 to be this title so I'm just gonna post it and get the new one reassign the new one and you get the all talk again and it's already changed to the one that I'm changing the question here is that can you change the id can I change the id if I try to change the id let's say I want the id to be now is number 5 and I send request it's still returning me the id number 2 so the answer is no you cannot change the id you are deleting you also need the id let's say I'm deleting id number I'm gonna get id number 2 it's giving me okay that means I assume that it's deleted already right then we go back to get all top what happened the id id number 2 is skip id number 2 is skip and the same thing if you try to delete id that is not exist it's just gonna give you error so this is really like the nice thing about the fluent ORM that comes built in with paper right so yeah in conclusion right as a swift developer who is using in and they out I really think that to be able to use xcode and switch to build server side api is really nice and I'm just like liking it you know I can I don't need to learn a lot of new things the only thing is that I just feel like it's very swiftly yeah it's very swiftly I still think that there's a lot of things that I'm like about this paper in times to come but there are also things that I feel like meh you know whenever paper there's a paper update the thing that makes me scared is it's actually breaks the existing code for example like just like two days ago I was still creating this thing and I'm still following the old one like request parameter but as of like I think this afternoon suddenly they give me all this funny funny like warning and said oh I should use parameters next now and I don't really know what it before and so I just like okay just try to fix it so you have to be prepared of these sudden changes and then Xcode still lacks of autocomplete like it's not how you saw I was trying to search for fluid my my skill like my skill and this kind of thing they still lack of autocomplete and then too many training may crash your Xcode like for example when you try to do a lot of flat map and then dot map and then you want to flat map it again it can actually crash Xcode and the last thing is that when you trust your database performance or migration to paper fluid that also means that you don't know about the database performance that they're actually how they're doing how they're indexing and stuff like that yeah but I believe that vapor team will improve all this tiny little bit things that we have concern about yeah so just the last slide I'm just gonna share you some of the resources that I think will be useful for you especially probably from this is the slack group they're highly highly active even the vapor creator himself is actually actively answering questions there because as you know the documentation for 3.0 is really not accurate yet even as you speak right now there are so many tutorials up there and they are not really um they're not really accurate yeah but this is the very reason that I want to share with a live demo so that you can uh really see that actually it's it can run and when you want to get started you can always re-watch this video again probably like better guarantee to run yeah I guess that's all back to step Vina for sharing what's about vapor questions for Vina oh okay yeah definitely definitely can so you can get a yes they use a live templating engine okay anyone else alright if you have any questions for Vina you can ask her later after


Assalamu alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh, masha'Allah so wonderful to be back here, alhamdulillah in this place of beloveds with Ahl al Bay. And alhamdulillah, alhamdulillah Siri Uthman, masha'Allah who I fell in love with on my last trip, masha'Allah. Alhamdulillah love's still strong, alhamdulillah so nice to meet and obviously our brother Barak Abu, masha'Allah. It's been many years, how many years since you were last again? It's been a decade. So we lived right across from each other. My door was here and his door was here and we were both at Qasid. I was working at Qasid. He came to study, masha'Allah, very studious, studious, studious student, masha'Allah. Yeah, masha'Allah admirable, just sitting in the cubicle every day by himself just reviewing, masha'Allah. You haven't changed, you haven't aged, masha'Allah, you're looking better and better. So I just, my only, you know, the only regret in time is when you, when you don't get to do as many good things, that's when you regret looking back and knowing that you were right across my door and we didn't get to know each other as well. At least Allah has brought us back together now another time in the dunya. So hopefully insha'Allah we'll catch up, insha'Allah. So you know, alhamdulillah, one of the things about tonight, we won't talk long about the story of the Isra and the Meraj because that's tomorrow at the SBIA, insha'Allah, for anyone who'd like to come where we recount the entire story. But what this is, is to remember, is that the Isra and the Meraj, even if we don't know all the details, it's a love story. It really is a story of love. I'll tell you, one of the times that I felt, I felt that love, I realized that this love of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is what has been powering the Ummah, the Muslim civilization is powered on love for the Prophet sallallahu and you know when I felt that most clearly, I didn't feel that most clearly in the poetry, even though you know we love the poetry, I didn't find it in those things of higher culture. Sometimes you find it in the heart of a person and you realize the effect that it's been having on this Ummah for all these centuries, Subhanallah. I remember once, I shared this story only maybe once or twice before, but where it really opened my eyes was I was walking in New Delhi, actually Old Delhi and I had just started, this was about 10 to 12 years ago, I had just started to reconnect with my parents, my heritage and so I'm walking in Old Delhi which is the Muslim part near the old Jami Mosque, I don't know if anyone's been there and seen that, very historic ancient area, hundreds of years old and around it is this bustling marketplace and things are very rundown, the Muslim situation there is not like it used to be in the past and due to a lot of different things and there's a cacophony of noises, you know you're hearing like chickens, you're hearing rickshaws honking and cars and people yelling and hocking items and there's all these there are all these smells in the air, there's the dust, there's like the biryani that's cooking here and there's some other bad smells and all kinds of things are happening around you in your senses and as I was walking through that with my backpack and just you know I just hear you know back in the in the days in those countries you have like these shops that sell musical cassettes and they're blaring like stuff from their shop to get you to come inside and they've got all these different cassettes and CDs and everything and as I was passing by I'm hearing a qawali, right I wasn't too familiar with qawali at that time I wasn't too open to it as well but that's a different story but the thing is I was walking by and so I hear this playing and I'm not familiar with them right but because my parents speak Hindi so I understood some of their language it's very close to Urdu so I turned around with the noise and I look around and there is a poor man with Down syndrome sitting in the dust literally on the street in India which is just all these cars coming around and he was sitting with a card in almost inside a cardboard box and the flap of it was up and he was taking the flap of it and pumping it back and forth like a harmonium and he was absolutely lost in the words of that qawali and that and for some reason I just zeroed in on the words and I didn't even find it until many years later but it stayed in my heart and it was the qawal the qawal was saying and I'm not a qawali singer but he was saying and you'll see why this is relevant he said he was it's very simple qawali and he was saying that the night of the ascension of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam is a mubarak night and sometimes I just start remembering my prophet sometimes I keep remembering him and remembering him and it was just that refrain over and over again it's really not a very complicated qawali and and I when I saw when I saw heard the words recounting the Isra and the Miraj but just this idea of the memory of Rasulullah says I'm so deep that love so deep and you're seeing this the words of the qawal which are reflecting the love of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam in the umma through art but being refracted through a pure soul this man with down syndrome he's completely involved in just engrossed in it it's like the entire world does not matter to him there's so much going on anyone can just hit you step over you and he's just in another world and that I felt like like a like a prison you know of light just went right and I felt that and I and that was such a time-stopping experience for me and that's at that point I realized that yes we can read the poetry study the books but the love of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam resides in the hearts of his umma and if you want to know all the words is only an expression but the best way to connect to it is to connect to the lovers of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and and I felt at that point not his love for the prophet I felt the prophet's love for him and the prophet's love for all of us because what's coming through that pure soul it's just like energy right it's just like something coming through so he's just a conduit and in fact we're all conduits we're all just like wires of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's love coming from since you know pre-eternity you know when when Allah willed him you know in Allah's knowledge you know obviously the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam's creation but the point is that that's a mercy from Allah and when did Allah will that in pre-eternity right because Allah he's a subhan Allah the most beloved of Allah and so in this in the isra and the miraj in the isra and the miraj it's a love story and we won't go through all of it but in reality when you look at the who was the isra and the miraj for we often think it was for the prophet but from the prophet's perspective when you think about it it's actually for us the whole isra and the miraj is a love story and it's for us even though he's the one who suffered so much he's the one who suffered so much then and then Allah elevated him a lot you know not he was already elevated with Allah but here's the difference whereas Musa alayhi sallam he had an appointment with Allah and he had to go up to a mountain and to try to reach Allah he was seeking Allah it was different because angel jibreel came and Allah was seeking the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam Allah called the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam up Allah called the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam up he didn't have to go and search and this is why from the beginning we know that this was showing the high rank of the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam the lofty status and it wasn't because Allah was you know it wasn't because the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam needed it it's to show it to the rest of the world because the world was already graced by Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi sallam and yet the people of the world were not fulfilling their haqq to the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam he was being opposed and bitterly persecuted and so yet there was one group of beings that had not experienced Rasulullah even though they knew about him and that was the people of the heavens the beings of the heavens and so I just imagine the treat that they got to finally lay their eyes on Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi sallam right and that's why as soon as he goes he comes from angel jibreel with angel jibreel on burak and goes to masjil aqsa when he that masjil aqsa it's it's just something that's understood all the prophets fell behind him to pray you know when you when you when you when you uh it's time for prayer and people are equals everyone say no you go no you please no you pray and everyone's getting no for when the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam was among them it was just natural that he would be the one to take the lead and this is this is prophets who have more knowledge than everyone else they understand the leadership of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi sallam but sometimes do we allow him to take the lead in our lives and then when he when he finishes the prayer and just a few reflections angel jibreel alayhi sallam brings a tray and there is one glass or a vessel of milk and one vessel of wine in another narration do a three with honey as well and the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam immediately he reaches for the milk and he drinks it and he leaves the wine right there and jibreel alayhi sallam sees that and tells him he said assault he said assault of fitrah he says you have chosen correctly and chosen the natural states the fitrah because milk is something that is it's uninterfered with it's not it's not meddled with and this is the fitrah when you have a heart that's not interfered with and corrupted whereas wine even though it wasn't haram in that time it was long before wine was made haram the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam himself avoided it because of his fitrah and then what did jibreel alayhi sallam say and this is what's the most amazing is he said had you chosen the wine your umma would have gone astray and so as our as my teacher taught me he said this is proof that an action of the prophet sallam determined the fate of the umma one sip of the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam could have determined whether we were in iman or not our believing in Allah was not about everything that we've done and what we went to school we went to and what book we read it was one sip of Rasul Allah sallallahu alayhi sallam and khalas we were we were guided to the end of time as an umma allahu akbar this is that this is the the the being that we are speaking about when we think about Rasul Allah so if that's even from his his one sip could naturally go towards what would benefit his umma just imagine the rest of what he did for us and when the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam he went through all of the the seven heavens and all the beautiful things that we'll discuss tomorrow about all those things we don't even realize how intimately connected we are to Rasul Allah sallallahu alayhi sallam because our sitting here was dependent on as I said that sip that happened before the ma'araj so what we don't even realize is we can go become heedless but we are intimately connected to him just like just like a baby like that's running around oblivious but there's someone watching over that baby who cares for that baby and this baby's like yeah I don't know whatever and there's a hard-working mother behind that child there's a hard-working father who's always looking out and making sure they can run around a little bit making sure they don't get hurt making sure they're fed making sure they're safe and protected getting everything they need and as as an umma many times we go through life not realizing how much of the blessings and love of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi sallam is actually all over us protecting us his du'as from where he is now are coming towards us according to the according to the hadith of the prophet sallallahu so this is even as he goes beyond the seven heavens and beyond the city of muntaha into the divine presence and whatever it was that was there we don't even know the words we don't even know the words that occurred in that blessed meeting between Allah and his beloved Rasul sallallahu alayhi sallam it was it was between servant it was between master and servant but one thing we do know is that there was there was talk about us as an umma there that even in that maqam in that place he has concern for us and this is the amazing thing like just imagine if you are in a place after persecution after being tortured after being denied after being losing your loved ones and being stoned and finally you're in bliss paradise and even there when after all the troubles could be solved and no other hardship ever even there you're remembering us the umma of the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam he's still remembering us and when he gets those prayers he accepts it completely but when he passes by musa alayhi sallam on his way back right musa alayhi sallam advises him and he says you know go back he's like i have experience with human beings go back that's exactly what he said he said he said he said he said he said i have experience with people and he gives the prophet sallam loving brotherly advice from one prophet to another an older prophet to another to another prophet and you know it was when the prophet sallam left from meeting him musa alayhi sallam was crying so they was asked why are you crying musa like why are you crying jannah why would you cry in jannah he said because because this young man who came after me more people will enter jannah for this umma than my umma so even just the he didn't think about like that didn't occur until he saw musa sallallahu alayhi sallam and he realized how lucky his umma is how lucky his umma is that he made other prophets cry because they they wish that they could be the prophet of this umma and because Allah said no you can't then they said oh Allah at least making part of the umma but rather the musa sallallahu alayhi sallam is a shahid on our umma and on all the umma and on all the prophets just think about that where our little sallallahu alayhi sallam is and how lucky we are and then when he when he got that advice the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam does go back and he goes back why because if Allah gives you a commandment right you would take it you wouldn't say anything but he goes back because he knows it's in our interest so that's why he goes back usually when someone a king tells you something go do this would you dare enter back and say look I want I want you to revise what you've told me but this as the umma say that one of the wisdoms of going back and forth and we know he goes back the prayers are 50 then goes to 40 then goes to 30 in some narrations it goes by 50 to 45 to 40 but it goes all the way down to five and they say that the wisdom of that going back and forth back and forth back and forth is to prepare our sallallahu alayhi sallam for the shafaah for his intercession when he will go to Allah on the day of judgment and ask Allah O Allah take some of the people out of the hellfire and Allah will say go take these people out and so he'll take them back then he'll go back and go back and go back and forth because it's it's subhan Allah because if he as some of the ulamas say if it was the first time when he went to meet Allah on the day of judgment that would be very very scary it would be all the majesty and so here he experienced that on his own going back and forth back and forth because on the day of judgment that Haiba that all will not overtake him but rather it will be once it will be it will be intimate familiarity because when you see somebody very big and prominent and majestic in the beginning you're always a little taken aback by them you're a bit scared by them but when you get to know them you start to become familiar with them and it's a love that develops even with the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam that's what they used to say as they said in in in arabic they said man man r'aahu badiha the one whoever used to come up to the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam suddenly they would they would get a little awe and awe struck but once they got to sit with him got to know him a little bit and they would start to love him and i put that into a poetic phrase and it goes like this if you saw him suddenly one look would take your breath away but if you sat with him his character would steal your heart away so the thing is when this is the same thing with with Allah when he goes back and forth it's because of that now when you think about this as well that Allah swt gave him two honors on that night that Allah let him hear his speech directly only musa ar-e-san had heard Allah directly before that but the added thing was and this is a debate within the ahlus sunnah but there is that position of the many most of our scholars of that the prophet sallallahu alayhi sallam also saw Allah swt on that day Allah he saw Allah swt on that day and this is what will come back to benefit the ummah during the shafa'a as well alhamdulillah so this is where when he came back this is now now think about this this is what um the great prophet muhammad iqbal muhamta alayh what he said in his he philosophized uh as it's written that this is the difference between a prophet and a wali a saint when a saint does everything for Allah and he goes to the hereafter in jannah that's it he doesn't want to come back because he's with Allah now he's with his lord why would you why the one beloved that you want to be with you would stay forever your problems are over a prophet comes back and that's what makes the prophet different from a wali any one of us if we could just go and take see a second of paradise or be with Allah moreover we would never want to come back never come back to this dunya with all the family and all the money and all the everything that we have all the beloveds we would never want to come back and yet it's the prophet that says no i will come back and he went does he come back to does he come back to a life that is so much more comfortable no no he came from hardship and persecution went to Allah and then came back to more hardship and persecution he came back to lose his children in front of his eyes he came back to be struck at uhud he came back for the fear with the fear of badr at the existential threat of the trench he came back to experience the poisoning at khaybar that stayed with him for the rest of his life until he passed away sallallahu alayhi wa sallam why for our sake that's why the isra and the miraj is ultimately a love story and it's the it's about the fact that before the victory of the world comes the spiritual victory and we were in one sense in the heart of the prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and there with him and it was done for our sake and the only thing that now is upon us the only thing that is upon us now is we have the example of the the greatest siddique abu bakar what did he say he was just asked do you believe about what your companion Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says that he went overnight to drew something came back when it takes us 30 days going and 30 days coming the Quraysh challenged and what did abu bakar say he said if he said it then I believe it because I believe something that is that is greater than this I believe he's getting revelation from through the seven heavens directly from Allah swt and that is why he got that name it's why he is the best person he is the best person after all the prophets he's the best of human beings not because of not because as the olama say not because of the amount of prayers and fasting he did but but something had that had settled inside his heart so when we realize what the isra and the ma'araj was from Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam for us then our only response is to be like abu bakar and say that we we bear witness that you are the messenger of Allah and that we will act like that and live like that for the rest of our lives Rasulallah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Muhammad sallallahu alayhi wa sallam I'll just figure I'll just finish inshallah by reading something from I'll just sing one chapter of the seerah some inshallah you guys might know this from the four and I've actually started to um to translate the chorus into English as well let's see how this goes yeah yeah this this see the torque we see we kind of got into it like this so so you know how it begins sallallahu alayhi wa sallam Muhammad is his messenger alayhi sallallahu peace be on him from Allah after losing wife and uncle and the boy god of his clan after thought if where they stoned him came a gift from ar-rahman as he lay asleep beside the noble kaba in the night he was woken by the angel and then taken up in flight riding on bur'aq he made the journey that is called isra to the city of jerusalem to masjid al-uqsa there he led the prophets in a prayer and chose milk over wine then ascended to the heavens for a twist with the divine praise beyond the seven skies so many wondrous sights he saw till he crossed the furthest low tree for his discourse with Allah sent back on that very night he bought a gift for his umma on the next day muslim stood with him to pray there for sallallahu alayhi wa sallallahu alayhi la ilaha illa Allah la ilaha illa Allah la ilaha illa Allah la ilaha illa Allah la ilaha illa Allah Muhammad al-Rasul Allah alayhi sallallahu alayhi sallam Allahumma salli wa sallim wa barik alayhi wa ala alayhi


Now, I see a man sitting there selling vegetables, who is shining? He just looks at me, our eyes lock up with each other, then he bursts out laughing and I also laugh. He's telling me his story. This is one thing that human beings have not come to terms with. If you become conscious of this, all the tremendous possibilities of being alive will become yours. You are called a human being. I want you to get the meaning of this. Human being means not that you know how to run, not that you know how to jump, not that you know how to do circus in life, you know how to be. Human being means you know how to be. That's one thing you don't know unfortunately right now. Now if you have to be, we have to come down to a few fundamentals. Are you mortal or immortal? No, no, no, look at it and tell me. Are you mortal or immortal? Genuinely tell me. Hmm?  It's okay?   It has to die, isn't it? And how glad I am that you will die because if you lived forever, it would be lot of trouble, isn't it? With a brief amount of time, what a mess we're making. Suppose you would not die, oof, total mess, isn't it? It's good to die, hello? Is it good to die? At an appropriate time, not today. At an appropriate time, is it good for all of us to die? I want you to understand this. This is one thing that human beings have not come to terms with. If they just learn to handle their mortality gracefully, life opens up in tremendous ways. Right now, oh yes, Sadhguru, but my horoscope says I will live till ninety. Your horoscope may say whatever, even the man who wrote your horoscope could have died before his horoscope said so.  Yes or no? If you were immortal, what all you would do, oh my god? When you're driving in Kolkata, there are some immortal people crossing the street. You've seen them, right? Immortal they are. If an automobile touches them, there is an enormous amount of pain involved and there could be death. In spite of that, many people are going about the way they're going. Just imagine if you made that person immortal, the level of atrocity that would happen in this world. So the only reason why a lot of people are behaving reasonably sensibly is because of mortality. Have you seen some friend or maybe it's just you going on totally, wantonly, suddenly your doctor told you it looks like you're kidney or your heart going down. Maybe you have, if you don't correct this, maybe in six months you will die. Suddenly did you see how disciplined they became? They got up in the morning, did their yoga, ate, did everything right? Have you seen these people? Entire life transformed simply because they were reminded of mortality. I must tell you, this happened many years ago. I'm in Bangalore city. I like to go to vegeta… vegetable markets. If I'm driving across somewhere, I see a vegetable shanty going on a weekly shanty. I will stop and I will walk through. I will bargain everything from chicken to eggs to vegetables to that crazy root which will make you invisible, everything. I just like to interact. But anyway, I'm not going to buy vegetables or chicken.  So like this, one day I'm in the vegetable market in Bangalore city, then I see a man sitting there selling vegetables who is shining.  He just looks at me, our eyes lock up with each other. Then he bursts out laughing and I also laugh.  Then he said, come, come. He opened up his little vegetable shop and asked me to sit down. So both of us sat in the shop. Then he's telling me his story. He was doing his normal life, wife and two, three children and whatever. One day he fell ill. Then so ill that they admitted him into a government hospital, a general ward. They put him there. Every day they thought he will die, but he did not die. Every day they thought he will die, he did not die. Two, three months went on, then there was no space, so they put him in the corridor outside because this guy doesn't live, doesn't die. So after about three months his wife stopped coming, she lost her patience.  Four months or little more than four months he was lying down there in the hospital corridor. Somebody was throwing some scraps at him and he did not know every day he thought he will die today, but he would recover the next day morning. Again he thinks he will die. It went on like this. After four months slowly he recovered, but in the meantime something fantastic happened to him. Everything just blew. Every day he thought today is the last day and then he opened up, signing blissful human being, again back to vegetable selling, wife gone, children gone, everything gone. Oh, all he's gone. Just staying in contact with mortality for four months did this to him. This is important. You must stay in touch with the mortal nature of who you are. This looks like a bizarre thing, oh, why is he talking about death, we want to live. What you don't understand is, I can say right now that you're living or I can also say you're dying, you're actually dying. One day the process will be complete, yes or no? Hello? There are just two words for the same thing, isn't it? Right now we're dying slowly. One day it will be complete, today it's on, is it on or no? Today the death is on or no? It is on. So what you call as life and what you call as death are not two separate things. It is one thing happening. If you become conscious of this, all the tremendous possibilities of being alive will become yours.


Hello, I welcome you all once again to my channel Explore Education, I am Dr. Rashmi Singh, Assistant Professor, Department of Education, S.S. Khanna Girls 2K College and nowadays I am discussing about the topic adult education with you all. So the topic of today's discussion is role of voluntary agencies in adult education and the lecture is useful for various professional as well as regular courses and for your competitive teaching examinations too. So first of all, voluntary agencies and voluntary association. We are talking about what is the concept of pro-education and how this concept has evolved from before independence to today. We talked about the national literacy mission, how NPE brought adult education to the forefront and for that NLM was established and how NLM worked from the eradication of illiteracy to the residual of removal of residual illiteracy. That means if there is any left of Niraksharta, then how should we remove it? There are three pronged approach. How does it work? First it is a total literacy campaign, then post literacy program and continuing education program. So we have discussed all this with you. We have also discussed this because it is such a great project. If you want to go to such a grassroots level, then it cannot be successful only in doing government work. In this, you need the support of community, NGOs, non-governmental organizations and voluntary associations. That is why you have such a great project. We have such a great nation like India. You can achieve it. So we need to know how NGOs play their role in the field of adult education. So first of all we will go to voluntary agencies or voluntary association. Michael Benton has defined that it is a group organized for the pursuit of one interest or of several interests in common. It is not a group of persons organized on the basis of voluntary membership without state control for the furtherance of some common interests of its members. That is, we have no control over the interests of the state. We have joined its membership with our own will and we have become a group of people with common interests. Lord Bivri, who defines voluntary organization as one which whether its work is paid or unpaid is initiated and governed by its own members without external control. It may be paid for or not paid for, but it is not controlled by anyone. That is the meaning of voluntary association. Then there are four essential elements in any voluntary association. When will you say that it is a Swachik Sangathan. It should have four main elements. One is method of formation, which is voluntary on the part of a group of people. What is the method of Sangathan? Method of government with self-governing organization to decide on its constitution, its servicing, its policy and its clients. We should have a method of self-governing, who will govern, how will its constitution be, how will the service be provided, how will we have to make some policy, what will be the criteria of membership, we will have to make this one. So, a method of formation, then method of government, method of financing. From time to time, we need financing, how will the organization work, how will we invest our money, what will we seek from the government, what is our financial assistance. With at least some of its revenues drawn from voluntary sources. I mean, there is a rich person who is paying for something voluntarily, denoting, donating, we need to see this. And motives of profit excluded, we don't need to see our profit anywhere. We don't need to see our profit. We want to do something with interest, if we want to do something like this, then it is voluntary association. Organizations having all the four elements are rare and perhaps are only the ideal forms. He is saying that if you get these four elements, then it is very rare that the formation is also good, the method of government is also your set, how to run, the financing is very transparent, and motives of profit are not even there. So it is rare that you get four elements and if you get it, then you can say that it is an ideal voluntary association. This is the state of voluntary association or voluntary agencies. Then when NLM talked, when it happened, when it happened, when we needed the support of NGOs, we needed the support of the community, then we can get it. So it was thought that why don't we do some assistance, the government can make a new association in every place, it can recruit people. So the NGOs that are working in this way for adult education, why don't we provide assistance to them so that they can do their work well. So assistance to voluntary agencies for adult education programs scheme under the National Literacy Mission. This is heading. NLM has been talking about giving assistance to the organizations that are working for adult education. The scheme of assistance to voluntary agencies in the field of adult education was designed and started in the first five-year plan. See, in the first Panchawarshi Yojana, it was said that we will do something like this and was continued with expanded scope in the subsequent plans. And as the Chaturth Panchawarshi Yojana was formed, it was expanded more. The National Police Unification, NPE 1986 had stipulated that non-governmental and voluntary organizations, including social activist group would be encouraged and financial assistance provided to them subject to proper management. NPE Rashtri Shiksha Neeti, who shared with you, said that non-governmental and voluntary organizations would be encouraged and financial assistance would be provided to them subject to proper management. The program of action. You must know that NPE 1986 is a follow-up program of action that happened in 1901. So what is it saying? To operationalize NPE 1986. It means that we can bring it into operational mode. It is not that our policy does not remain on paper. The program was done for this purpose. It happened for the first time that there was no policy and its follow-up program was also there. And stipulated in eight minutes. NPE 1986 inter-alia inviscid, inviscid relationship of genuine partnership between the government and voluntary agencies and stipulated that government would take positive steps to promote their wider involvement by providing facilities to participate in the implementation of programs by streamlining of procedures for selection of VA's and grant of financial assistance to them. That means POA said that you definitely need the support of voluntary agencies. You will have to find them. If you go into more detail, then voluntary agencies have a form. They fill it up and give it to the ministry to seek assistance. And the ministry chooses it. If it really feels good that it will do a good job, then it provides financial assistance. MHRD, M minister of education, and also the ministry of welfare which is related to adult education. So it was discussed that why not seek and find them in voluntary agencies and give financial assistance to them so that our scope of covering more and more people can be fulfilled. Then objectives and role of voluntary agencies have gone up. So it was thought that what their goals should be and what role of voluntary agencies should be so that we give them financial assistance. So the main objective of the scheme is to secure extensive involvement of VA's in NLM. The activities for which grants would be admissible to the VA's under the scheme would include the following. They are saying that which voluntary agencies are going to do this work, they will tell themselves that we are going to do this work so we will grant them. So the first point is taking responsibility in well defined areas for eradication of illiteracy and running of post literacy and continuing education programs through the establishment of Janashikshan Nilayam and other appropriate activities. Means whatever Sanstha is, whatever Swachhik Sanstha is your continuing education program will run, Janashikshan Nilayam will be made in small areas and they will work accordingly. Then organization of functional illiteracy component in developmental programs such as health care, women's development, environmental conservation, SCST development, poverty alleviation programs etc. As if something is wrong, something is mistaking. So organization of functional illiteracy component should also have an organization that how they will illiterate people, will run developmental programs such as health care programs, women's development, environmental conservation, SCST development. Then organization of programs of vocational and technical education for imparting such skills is becoming more and more relevant to the needs and interests of the neoliterates ensuring that women participate in such programs with men. They should also talk about such programs that will run vocational, technical education, technical education, which are neoliterates that have just been launched. They have got new knowledge and their needs and interests can be fulfilled and they can ensure that women's participation in such programs is more or less equal to men. When the under-take resource was set, I don't know how it came down. Under-take resource development to activities including curriculum development, production of teaching, learning material, training of adult education functionaries, audiovisual and other instruction, training aids, including establishment of SRCs, DRU etc. State Resource Center. So they are saying to talk about the program of resource development and technical education. Who is making curriculum? How to make curriculum? The neoliterates can cater to their needs and interests. We can make such a TLM, teaching, learning material, audiovisual aid. Who will do all this? There will be some institutions, some people who will do it. So this is the purpose of the voluntary agency. If we tell them that we will provide financial assistance, if you want to do this, we will provide financial assistance so that you don't have to lose money. So that we can make everyone a witness. This is the issue behind it. Innovation, experimentation, learning, reverberation and action research, taking up varied and comprehensive programs for women's development, organization of symposia, seminars and conferences and organization of books, newspapers, newspapers, wallpapers etc. for furtherance of the objectives of NLM and undertakes such other activities as maybe appropriate for achievement of the objectives of NLM. So the objective of NLM is to make the aim for the main guideline, that is the aim of the National Government which has given its objective. And then in the ministry we will If you want to work like this, then you will need resources and you will be able to go to the ground level and go to the grass root level. Then we will talk about which NGOs are working in the field of adult education. But we have only discussed two things here. One is Akshara or Akshar. You call it Akshara and it is a Menda Foundation. So what does Akshara work on? Adult education program aims at extending educational options to those underprivileged adult women who have lost the opportunity and have crossed the age of formal education but now feel a need for learning of any type including literacy, basic education, skill development and equivalency. Akshara is a organization that works in the field of adult education and it works for underprivileged adult women. There are a lot of NGOs that work for children and underprivileged girls. But we have to talk about adult education so we have covered those that are working in adult education. So this organization works for underprivileged adult women. The women who have lost the opportunity and have crossed the age of formal education but now feel a need for learning of any type including literacy, basic education, skill development and equivalency. A Menda Foundation provides an adult literacy program developed by TCS. Tata Consultancy Services runs it. To give primary education for adults in the rural areas. In rural areas, the program aims to teach the basics of alphabets and arithmetic which are indispensable in day to day activities including farming and business. There are a lot of programs that have not been discussed. A farmer literacy program is also run by the government. The knowledge of the farmers is practical knowledge. But like the diet, what is a spidey date written on it or what is the instruction written on it. They can only read it when they have the knowledge of alphabets. So for them, the alphabets of alphabets are covered in adult education. They only can read it if they are able to write. What are the instructions that are being inspired? How do we use it or can we open a small bank account? All these things require knowledge of alphabets. Tata Consultancy Services runs a new concept called CSR. CSR is Corporate Social Responsibility. All corporate businessmen of the world have a social responsibility. The concept is that since you are earning so much and you have so much money, then why don't you do something for the society that is your responsibility, then do it for the society. So, this kind of doing is mandatory for them. So, these kinds of NGOs keep running this. So, adult literacy program TCS is running. Aksharik Pihle is one of the many. You can do many more quotes. I have told you just two. So, this is the role of NGOs in adult education, of voluntary agencies. And see, what is the benefit of voluntary agencies? Why can they do better work? Because they are free from external control. What is your government system, it is mandatory. It will work according to that. It cannot be done in a single way from here to there. But here you are free to go to which level you can work. You can mix more with them. You have no control over you. You are autonomous. You are independent. So, this is why they can do better work on a grassroots level. In comparison to government organizations. And adult education is such a dangerous work. So, it is impossible for the government to do it. It needs to be done together. For NGOs or normal people, for general people, for community participation. So, what can the government do? It can provide financial assistance. If you are doing good work. So, this is the role of voluntary organizations in the field of adult education. Adult education is in your course. It can be provided to you. So, you should know. So, I covered video on this. So, I covered adult education concept, development. It has a main program, NLM, national interest mission and role of voluntary agencies in the field of adult education. Okay. So, thank you.
