When I started medical school, everyone warned me. You're going to study all the time. You won't see your loved ones or have time for yourself. You'll always be stressed and you'll lose your hair. But aside from that last one, the rest of them were completely overblown.  And not only did I get the grades and board scores that I wanted to get into the residency of my choice, but I still had enough time to spend with my now wife, spend on my personal hobbies, as well as starting a side business. So let's go ahead and break down in today's episode exactly how you can do all of that. Number one is understanding that an hour to yourself can make a huge difference. A lot of times when I'm working with students one on one, many of them think that I have no time to be able to fit in a workout or personally hanging out with my family or just chilling and relaxing because they think that hour could be better used for studying. And I'm sure there's a lot of you that are watching and listening that feel exactly the same way. You feel like your studying has to be included in every free hour because otherwise you're going to fall behind. And to highlight this point, let's do a quick exercise. Let's take a normal week, for example, and use an hour a day. You can use that hour to spend on an upcoming exam or a quiz, or you can use that hour on something that helps advance you or just makes you feel more like a human being when you're in medical school. I learned very quickly in med school that that extra hour was much more important and impactful if I use it on myself versus if I dedicated it to studying for a class. And here's why most of the time and most students are guilty of this when you have an extra hour or an extra two that could be spent on you versus the class. If you spend it on the class, you tend to use inefficient techniques that never really mattered and you just never actually get the most out of those two hours. And by the time the tester of the quiz comes around, those extra hours never were the difference between you getting a C to a B, a B to an A. If instead you said, I'm going to use this hour every single day and dedicate to something that I care for. Maybe it's going for a run, a workout, just taking a freaking nap, hanging out with your favorite people, and then forcing yourself to say, I have one less hour in a day. What can I now do to my studying to make sure that I count for that without falling behind? Now you're asking the right questions. And so if you hear those sirens, if you hear those warning signs from people on a medical journey saying you're not going to have time for yourself, medical school is going to take over all of it, that's really just a personal choice. I never found that I was burned out in medical school because the parts of me that mattered were still parts of my day, even if it was just an hour. And then I could get back to my studying. So remember, one hour can make a huge difference or very little depending on where you spend it. Principle number two is to always work on streamlining the process. Now as I work with students at one on one throughout the past few years, I realized that most students will either get a bad grade or a good grade and that's where they stop. Either if they get a bad grade and they want to completely jump ship and try something new, or they get a good grade and saying, let's just more or less do the same thing. Both of them, in my opinion, are actually incorrect ways to handle that. When I was in my first and second year of medical school, taking quizzes and exams all the time, regardless of the quiz, went my way or didn't, I always ask the same questions. How did I feel going into the test? How did I feel walking out of that test? And what would I have done differently in prepping for this exam? And how will I use that in an upcoming quiz or test for the same class as well as a different one? They started forcing me to identify things that I was doing that it really I should be doing more of, as well as things and resources I was using that really made no impact on my overall retention. And that helped me transition from a typical medical student who's using their lectures or syllabus online resources, question banks, flashcards to somebody who just says, you know what, this is my method of choice. And if I do A, B and C over and over again, as much as possible, I see the results that I want. But the only way that you can identify a streamlined process for your studying, your productivity, your CV development rotations is simply asking, what am I doing? And what type of things am I doing that are really not helping and taking them away until you just have a straight flow? And remember, there's always room for improvements. Even as an attending now, when I see patients on a daily basis, and I'm looking through their chart, I still identify things that I'm doing that I feel like I should be, but it's really not contributing to the patient's care. And thus as I'm able to take things away or add more of what's working, I'm able to better take care about patients while still being efficient. And so just remember that even if things are going away or if they're not always asking the question of what would this look like if it was easier and more simpler and more quicker and more efficient, you will start to find those rooms of opportunities and make those changes and keep asking that question. That's how you become both an efficient and effective medical student. Before we get to the rest of today's episode, let's go ahead and quickly talk about today's sponsor, which is Ken Hub. And one of the most tricky classes on your medical journey is definitely anatomy. That's just because there's so much information to learn. And unfortunately, not that many great resources to really master it if you have different learning styles. That's where Ken Hub comes in. If you're unfamiliar with Ken Hub, it's an online platform going to help you both learn, review and master your anatomy, both for your practicals, as well as your multiple choice exams and so much more. Now Ken Hub has so many cool features. The best way to show you is just by diving straight in. So if I was going into my anatomy lab, my anatomy lecture, and I had to learn a complicated topic, let's say like the brachial plexus, I could just go into the region of the body that represents that and seeing if I can find a module, which Ken Hub has tons of. And then when I'm in the general region, I can find the modules that are appropriate to the next lab or lecture that I may have to learn. So for example, if you scroll down, we'll find one of the most hardest topics to learn about medical school, which is the brachial plexus. And these modules are really what separates Ken Hub from the pack when it comes to a high quality anatomy resource, because not only do you have those texts if you're somebody who loves to read, but also resources and learning tools like videos. So if I wanted to learn about the brachial plexus, I could do so using their anatomy animations, which are very engaging, quick to the point. And if I wanted to speed it up even more, I have the option through the video player of doing so. And when you have a topic as complicated, but as high yield as a brachial plexus, it's nice to have both their videos, but also videos and some of their modules that include mnemonics. So if I wanted to really memorize the different parts of a brachial plexus like the roots, the trunks and the orders of these, you could watch one of their mnemonic videos to really help nail things in. Now probably my favorite part about these modules in Ken Hub are their quizzes, which I'll get to in a second. But when you're in the modules, there's tons of other ways that you can learn. For example, you can use an atlas where you can appreciate the entire brachial plexus or whatever structure of the body you're learning in one place using their color code system, or you can go ahead and just zoom out and sing everything like your typical labeled atlas that you may have, or you can also just go one by one and sing if you can quiz yourself on what you're seeing before going down and actually saying, oh, this is a spinal nerve. Now just by itself, those features really make Ken Hub so useful for studying for anatomy, but this is really where it changes the game for me. My favorite, if you like to use their quizzing option, you can actually do this before your anatomy labs and quizzes, where I can just do the basic ID function and I can quiz myself on different structures before actually going into dissection lab. So for example, if I need to identify the posterior MI, I can click that one and boom, still thankfully know some of my medicine. I want to know if that's inferior trunk. Beautiful. And then we'll just do one last one. Here is the lateral cord. You can do very simple basic IDs like this one, or you can do more advanced quizzing through Ken Hub's custom quizzing options. So for example, if I was going to study for my cardiovascular tests, I can just go ahead and click my refine selection. And those questions will be very similar to what I would see on a multiple choice anatomy practical. And you'll have questions that are straightforward, just kind of asking you how different structures are related to each other or how the body physiology is moving. And through their question bank, you'll be able to see a variety of questions, some that are more straightforward, some that actually include vignettes that can be very similar to board questions. And as you're doing the questions, you can go ahead and always check your answer to make sure that you actually know what you're talking about. So with this combination of features and bonuses, Ken Hub makes studying for anatomy so much easier, regardless of the type of learner you are. If you are somebody who is nervous about anatomy or currently in anatomy and struggling, want to find a resource that will work for you, definitely consider checking out Ken Hub down below. I'll put the link down below and our friends at Ken Hub have also been nice enough to include a generous discount, which will be included in the link down below. But as always, thanks to Ken Hub for being today's sponsor. Number three is to focus on building a purposeful CV. Medical school is very different than being a pre-med where you feel like you just have to do every single thing and stuff it into your CV. In college, it's very normal and recommended for people to say, do as much research, community service, join as many clubs as possible, and just add them and stuff them into your CV. Medical school is completely different because now the application you're trying to build is forced to sell the story that I want to do X, Y, and Z. For me, it was internal medicine. For somebody else, maybe orthopedic surgery, dermatology, plastic surgery, you can't just force yourself and focus on stuffing. It is really more a quality over quantity. And from this advice and natural question is, how in the world do I do this? I don't even know exactly what I want to do. I have ideas, but not really confident that this is the path that I want to take. It doesn't matter how clear or fuzzy your future career options are. The first thing to do is ask yourself, what type of things are you possibly interested in? I'll give you my own personal examples. I came into medicine after working a year with autistic kids that I thought that I was going to be a pediatrician. So the first thing that I did is to join different extracurriculars and projects where I was working in the field of pediatrics. I spent two summers of medical school working with type 1 diabetic kids because I thought that that's what I was interested in. I learned quickly after my pediatrics rotation that I was not going to be a pediatrician. But I learned quickly through those experiences that that part that I really enjoyed about pediatrics and that type 1 diabetic camp was working one-on-one with people and really working with very broad clinical diagnosis. That's what attracted me to the field of medicine. Now medicine itself is very broad. You can be in-patient, you can be outpatient, you can specialize, you can be a general doctor like I currently am. And as I got through more and more experiences in medical school, I realized I don't like outpatient medicine very much. I like being in the hospital, taking care of very acute sick patients, helping them get better, let them get home, and then take care of somebody else where the job pace is pretty fast. I like that. And number two, I like taking care of a little bit of everything and being knowledgeable in all the different organ systems. That was fun. That's ultimately what led me to go into an internal medicine residency and now being a hospitalist like I am. But hindsight, 2020, I purposely built a purposeful CV because I started to saying, what about this experience has taught me what I want in the future? My type 1 diabetic camp taught me again, I love working with people. I love working with part of the team. My pediatric rotation told me, I don't like working with parents when the patient doesn't communicate as well and then having to deal with essentially three people. That was my personal experience. That transition to saying, let's just work on taking care of people who are old enough to communicate being internal medicine. And still I can have that feeling of taking care of diabetes or et cetera.  And then you can start looking for research projects, more clinical things, shadowing things that highlight those. This is how you build a purposeful CV. You don't have to feel like you're convincing anyone when it's time to apply to residency that you want to do surgery because all of your experiences point in that direction. Principle number four, this one is huge. Focus on tiny chunks of learning. I think one gracious benefit that I had in medical school is that I'd never let anxiety get too crazy, but I did realize that when you had, for example, a lecture that had a hundred slides or tons of information, HIV, anatomy, things that were just so hard to understand and memorize, I would be in there and say, okay, let's focus on three three bullet points on this slide and then move on to slide number two of 99 where instead I would see my classmates saying crap, like I have to learn this and then there's gonna be another lecture just like this one, how I'm gonna do it. People spend so much time focused on how much there's to learn versus just focusing on learning what's in front of them. Medicine is always going to be huge. You knew that. People always talk about drinking from a water fountain and feeling like you're just drowning with information. But to be a top student, you have to understand that everyone is presented with the same information that they're expected to learn for that quiz, test, board exam. And so it doesn't make sense of saying, how in the world am I gonna learn these 10,000 pieces of fact? Just have to learn the next one. And the nice thing about just starting and focusing on stacking tiny bits of information and reviewing them consistently is that you build a momentum. Now suddenly you're on slide four instead of slide one. Now suddenly you're on slide 10 and there's only 80 more slides. You're already 10% the way done where before you hadn't even started. This was a small mental strategy I used whenever I had a huge slide deck, a huge deck of Anki cards that I had to review didn't matter. Focus on the next one in front of you. Everyone is going to go through the hard struggles of having to learn it. The difference is how much time do you spend on being anxious about how much information there is to learn versus just moving forward and actually focusing on learning it. Principle number five is to focus on storing and being reflective of your experiences. Now this is the difference of a student who finishes their four years of medical school and really doesn't have to sell themselves as it comes time to looking for a job or applying for residency. For me it was very easy to look on my experiences and somebody asked me a question and bam I had an answer. And it's not because I rehearsed it, it's because I thought about what each experience, whether it be a clinical rotation experience with a patient, something that I put on the application, a specific class, what I got out of it. And admittedly I also have the benefit of recording my experiences for you guys here on YouTube and on the podcast and on the blog, but simply thinking about what did I get from various experience that I go through helps you one understand appreciating those small moments, whether it be lessons from a patient and attending, something you learn in classes saying this is freaking cool. I get to practice this for the rest of my life and then focusing on storing those in some form of modality. It can be on your phone through your notes app. It can be on something like Notion. It can be a notebook or a journal. It doesn't matter because when it's time to actually share your experiences, whether it be a personal statement, somebody interviewing you for a scholarship, residency applications, you don't have to think very hard. The biggest blunder that most medical students make is that they always keep thinking about the next test, the next board exam, the next phase and they never take a step back and saying, what did I get from this experience? This is why most students will go through medical school saying this freaking sucked. Honestly, it's just that you didn't give yourself enough time to take a deep breath and saying, what was this experience valuable for me? Good or bad? And as you do more and more of that, you become grateful for the experiences.  So just be reflective of your experiences. You don't have to share with anybody. Put it on your phone, put it on Notion, put it on a physical journal and then come back to those and saying, oh, I did this random experience or I did this cool shadow experience or I saw this amazing patient and this is the experience that I got and the reflections that I got out of those. You can use those then when it comes to your personal statements, your experiences and just talking about that field during a residency applications. But through these core principles, guys, you become somebody who streamlines the process and thus becomes more efficient and more effective at studying. You always start focusing on how you can actually have time for yourself. You build a CV that actually seems like it tells a story which actually people find attractive because you're forcing yourself to be reflective on the experiences and when it's time to learn as medicine is crazy to learn, you're focused on learning it one check at a time.  And this is overall how you become a top med student.

Welcome back to our lecture series, Math 1220 Calculus II for students at Southern Utah University. As usual, I'll be your professor today, Dr. Andrew Missildine. Welcome back everyone. In our lecture three, we're going to talk about area between curves found in section 6.1 of James Stewart's Calculus textbook. Now, before we jump into the details of area between the curve, it's probably useful to remind ourselves, how do we actually find the area under a curve? When we talk about area under the curve, the problem we're describing is something like the following. We have our x-axis and we have some function f right here, and we have some value a to b right here, and we want to find the area of this region that's above the x-axis but below the function itself. If you need a refresher of this, then check out this video for my Calculus I series that reminds you about the meaning of the definite integral. What we want to do is change the problem up a little bit today. It's basically the same situation. We're going to start off with the x-axis. We're going to have our function f like we did before. But in addition, we're going to have a second function g, where g sits below f, and so we get something like this. We're interested in if we have this value a on the left and this value a or b on the right, these are x values of course, what's the area of the region between the two functions f and g? What is this area? This is the question we want to approach for the next little bit right here. It turns out the way that we can handle this problem is the exact same way that we handle the original problem of area and where we got the definite integral in the first place. The idea is take this interval a to b, and we're going to slice it up into small equal sized regions. We'll draw these little tick marks here. We cut up our interval into small, small, small pieces. We started with x1, x2, x3 continue on. We're going to get someplace xi minus 1 in the middle, xi right here, and they continue on until you get to b. b is in fact the last number here, and if you have n of these x values, that's going to be xn. Actually starting the a value is what we often call x0. We have these intervals, the first interval, the second interval, the third interval, up until the nth interval right here. What we're going to do is we're going to form a rectangle between these values here. For the first one from x0 to x1, we're going to create a rectangle, and it's going to look something like this. Instead of the rectangle going from the x-axis all the way up to the f function, we're only going to draw a rectangle that sits between f and g. Then for the second interval, x1 to x2, we do the same basic idea, right? We draw a rectangle like this for the third interval, x2 to x3. We're going to draw something like this, and then we keep on doing this, pattern, dot, dot, dot, and so the ith interval will take a height right here. We'll take a height right here. We connect the dots, and again, we continue in this fashion. Keep on drawing these rectangles where the top and bottom of the rectangles are determined by the function f and g right there. That helps us, much like with definite integrals, we can add up together the area of the ith rectangle, we'll call that ai right there. We know that the sum of all these ai's, as i goes from one to n, this will be an approximation of the area between the curves. So if we can calculate ai, we can approximate the area between the two curves here. So how do we get ai? Well, it's the area of a rectangle, so its value will be length times width. The width of this thing, just like with the definite integral, is gonna be delta x. Well, delta x has its usual meaning. Delta x is gonna equal b minus a over n, and that's because we selected all of the rectangles to be equidistant, equal in size there. Now, the length of this thing, we have to be a little bit more careful about, I'm gonna give myself a little bit more space right here. The length of this rectangle is gonna depend on a couple things. Where is the top of this thing, and where is the bottom of this thing? It should have some respect of the function itself. And so if we pick some delegate that sits inside of our interval in the textbook, they often call this xi star, we're gonna take the top of the rectangle to be f of xi star. So it's a representative of how high up f is. And on the bottom, we're gonna take our representative to be g of xi star, we're gonna pick the same value right there. And so the length of the function of the rectangle, then be the difference of these values. So we take f of xi star minus g of xi star, kind of got a little crowded right there. And then you need to times that by delta x. And that would give you the area of your rectangle. Now, let's write this a little bit below when I have a little bit more space here. So what we're seeing here is the following, that the area can be computed by taking the sum as I goes from one to n of f of xi star minus g of xi star times delta x. That delta kind of looks like an a delta x, there we go. And so we take this Riemann sum of f of xi star minus g of xi star times delta x. And this will give us an approximation of the area of the curve. Well, just like the original area problem though, if we wanna improve upon this, we can take more rectangles. The more rectangles we take, the better the approximation. If 10 rectangles does good, 100 will do better. 10 trillion will do even better. And in fact, if we wanna get the true area between the curves, we take the limit as n approaches infinity here. And this will then equal the area between the curves. Now this expression right here, the limit of the sum of f of xi star minus g of xi star. If we think of f minus g as a single function, then this right here is the limit as n goes to infinity of the Riemann sum associated to the function f minus g. And so this is in fact equal to an integral, which is this integral right here, the integral from a to b of f of x minus g of x dx. So the area between the curves is just the integral of f minus g. We can see that by going to the original limit definition of the integral, but we can also think of it in the following manner. If we look at the area that's under f and we subtract from it the area that's under g, the difference will give us the area between the curves. Because by integral properties, this thing is the same thing as the integral from a to b of f of x dx minus the integral from a to b of g of x dx. So there's sort of two ways of visualizing this. We can just use this limit properties here and take the difference, or we just integrate the difference in the first place. And I did want to go through the details of this so you can see the comparison with the original limit definition of integrals with the, to find the area under the curve and how we're able to modify it to find the area between two curves. I wanted to show this example because it turns out in calculus too, we're gonna see this situation all over the place. This technique of integration are what's sometimes called accumulation. People often attribute Sir Isaac Newton for inventing the calculus. And don't get me wrong, his contributions to calculus were immense. Newton was essentially the one who gave us the fundamental theorem of calculus. He made the connection between differential calculus aka derivatives and integral calculus. So I mean, we can't undermine how important that is there. But things prior to Newton, I mean, for thousands of years, people understood calculus notions, primitive notions. But I mean, this proto-calculus existed even in the ancient Greeks. Archimedes was doing calculus problems where he was calculating areas and volumes of geometric regions very much like we'll see in forthcoming lectures in this series here. And the idea is you take a problem and slice it into smaller problems like we do here. You slice, slice, slice, slice your problem into smaller linear problems. And then you add up those linear approximations and take the limit. This accumulation technique we're gonna see a lot in this chapter six in the future as well. Now, this diagram works pretty well if the function f stays entirely above the function g. There are some of course situations where maybe your function f is right here, but then your function g might switch places with it. So it starts off below, then it goes above like something like that. In which case you have to be careful because if you're taking f minus g, this region will be considered a positive area, but then the other region will be considered a negative one as you switch sides there. So you have to be careful. If you wanna find the geometric area of this region where all regions are considered positive, you have to make sure to take absolute value of this thing. But if you're interested in a net area, then you can leave it as it is. So let's see a quick example of this type of thing. Let's find the area between the functions f and g, which are given by the following functions. f is the quadratic function negative x squared plus one. g is the linear function, two x plus four. And let's find the area between the functions from x equals negative one to x equals two. And so you can see this region illustrated on the screen right here. I do wanna point out to you that in order to find the area between two curves, much like the area under a curve, it isn't necessary to actually draw the graph, but drawing pictures I see think does help us, it helps us with our intuition, understanding. So if you feel comfortable drawing these things, I would recommend doing. So even if you feel a little uncomfortable, I would try drawing these things as well. No one's gonna be graded based upon how good their graph is. And honestly, these things do not have to be drawn perfectly to scale. The graph itself can be a good intuition. Like if I were to try to draw this picture, I might notice all f of x is negative x squared plus one. The negative x squared means it's a concave down parabola. The plus one means it was shifted up by one. So you get this basic shape right here. For g of x, it's two x plus four. It's a line, it's slope is two, y intercept four, things like that. We can get a pretty good picture of what's going on right here. And so you see this region, you wanna find the area between the curves. Well, from the formula we saw a moment ago, the area between the curves, we're gonna integrate on the boundary, negative one to two, that was given to us. And we have to take the difference of the function. Now, if we want this to be positive area, we should take the bigger function minus the smaller function. So we're gonna take g of x minus f of x right here, dx. Don't forget your differential dx there. Now, g of x was given as two x plus four and f of x was given as negative x squared plus one. So we get this right here. Be aware that you are subtracting f and so you need to make sure you subtract the entire function. It might be helpful to put parentheses around f so that you make sure that you subtract both the negative x squared and the one right here. So I would recommend to distribute that negative sign before you forget to do so and then combine like terms. And so integrating from negative one to two, we're gonna get a negative negative x squared, so that's a positive x squared. We're gonna get a two x and then we're gonna get four minus one, which is a three, like so. And so now to find the area between these two curves, we need to integrate the following quadratic function by the power rule for anti-differentiation. We're gonna increase the power by one and divide by that new power. So x squared becomes x cubed over three. Two x becomes an x squared. You notice I took the liberty of adding two, or moving the exponent up to two and then I divided by two. That cancels out the coefficient story there. And then the plus three will become a three x. For an anti-derivative, there's often a plus C that goes on right here, but for definite integrals, it just cancels out you don't need it. We get a negative one and a two. Now we reach the most challenging part of calculus, which we call arithmetic. We got a plug in the numbers two and negative one, remember by the fundamental theorem. And so if we plug in two, we're gonna get eight thirds plus four, plus six. And then we subtract from that negative one third. Oh, what's happening to my pen there? Negative one third plus one minus three. Try to combine some like terms. And I mean, there's no variables here, but the fractions is what I meant. We have some common denominators. You have an eight thirds plus a one third. That gives us a nine third. That's kind of nice because that'll become a three. We get four plus one, which is a five. I'm sorry, not four plus one. It's four minus one. This is the danger I was mentioning before. You don't wanna forget to distribute that negative sign. Do it either in pencil or with your head. Either one is appropriate. Four minus one would give us a three. And then six plus three gives us a nine. Three over three, like it's a three. Three plus nine is 12. And then add three more. We should get an area of 15, which is the correct answer there. And so area between two curves is really not that different than finding the area under a curve. Be aware that we just made a slight modification to the original area problem. We can very easily adapt it to this area between the curve type of situation. Check out the next video to see some more example of finding area between the curve. There are a few subtleties we have to look out for, but it really doesn't turn out to be much more complicated than what we saw in this example.


As-salamu alayka alayhi wa-llah adha Alayhi wa-llah As-salamu alayka alayhi wa-llah adha We have just visited the Maqam of Adam, alayhi as-salam This Maqam of Adam here in this holy mosque It is narrated by the commander of the faithful, al-Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him That when Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala asked his angels to do sujood to Adam They did so And Imam Ali, alayhi as-salam, says that they did in this holy land In this holy mosque Here in this holy mosque Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgave Adam It is here in this holy mosque Where Adam, in this mosque, supplicated to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And did tawassul with the names that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala had taught him Allah taught him the kalimat Fata laqqa Adam mir rabbihi kalimat fataaba alayhi Here in this mosque When you come to Masjid al-Kufa You go to the Maqam of Adam, alayhi as-salam You pray four units of prayer And you supplicate to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala And did tawassul to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Through Ahl al-Bayt, alayhi as-salam Now, we want to go more into the story of Adam, peace be upon him What happened with Adam, alayhi as-salam? It is narrated by the books of Ahadith And this incident is famous and well-known Amongst the Marrikhun, amongst the historians and traditionists That this kalimat that Adam, peace be upon him, received from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Were the names of Ahl al-Kisa I will give you an example I will give you an example from these narrations From the books of the Amma, from the Mukhalifin The first hadith is from Al-Maghazali Al-Maghazali narrates from Ibn Abbas, he says I asked the messenger of Allah, peace be upon him With the peace and blessings of Allah, peace be upon him I asked him, what are the kalimat? What are the words that Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala Subhanahu wa ta'ala taught Adam That's right, he could be a Sunnah for us as well He said, Adam, ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala By the rights of Muhammad Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Hussein Adam, alayhi as-salam Ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala, by the rights of these five Muhammad and Ali, Fatima, Hasan and Hussein This is narrated in Haqq, volume 3, page 76 Now subhanallah, subhanallah that sometimes Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala makes even the enemy utter words of Haqq For it's narrated by the biggest pillar of the Mukhalifin Umar ibn al-Khattab narrates his tradition Umar ibn al-Khattab narrates his tradition He said concerning the verses, when he was asked about these five verses He said, Adam said, I ask Allah by the right of Muhammad and his holy progeny, oh Allah forgive me Over here, over here By the fifth, by the seventh pillar, Adam, alayhi as-salam Repented with sincere dua and supplication He said, oh Allah, will you not forgive me by the right of those that you love by the right of those that you taught me to forgive and Allah forgave Adam Allah forgave Adam and Adam has given us now a sunnah A sunnah hasana, a beautiful tradition that we today, inshallah, should enact and practice We as well, we as well ask Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala by the right of Muhammad and al-Muhammad, alaykum as-salatu wa salam to forgive us our sins and to grant us eternal paradise and grant us their intercession My dear brothers and sisters This is only the beginning of our journey in Masjid al-Kufa because the same place where Adam, alayhi as-salam, did repentance and by the maqam of Jabra'il, alayhi as-salam which is as well behind me where Jabra'il came here and also prayed two units of prayer is the maqam of Amir al-Mu'minin, as-salamu alayhi alayhi It is narrated that the commander of the faithful, alayhi al-Nabi Ta'ala peace be upon him, would pray by the fifth and seventh pillar and when ma'ma alayhi as-salam was not here in the Masjid al-Hasan ibn Ali took his place at the seventh pillar but usually these two pillars, these two locations here behind me are the most holiest places in this holy mosque these two pillars, the footsteps of the commander of the faithful, alayhi as-salam were here the footsteps of al-Hasan ibn Ali are printed here the footsteps of al-Husayn ibn Ali, Shahid Karbala is here did you know that Rasulullah, sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wasallam states in a narration, he tells ya Ali lakulta fika maqalatan, kama qalatan nasara li'isabna mariam he said ya Ali, I were to say a description about you the same way that the nasara, the Christians said to iisabna mariam then I would say something about you, oh Ali that anywhere you would walk, the people would come and take blessings from your feet now just imagine and ponder and think what holy place do we stand on and I repeat again and say when you enter this masjid, please enter without most respect and purity because this masjid, this masjid has a sanctity like the masjid in Makkah like the masjid in Nabawi of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa alayhi wa sallam what do you guys think Ali ibn Abi Talib, alayhi as-salam, used to pray what do you guys think of the prayer of Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him it is narrated that one day, one of the companions of the masjid came to him and he told him is this anything like the ibadah, the worship of your grandfather Amir al-Mu'mineen, peace be upon him


Y'all ready, man? Y'all ready? Y'all excited? We're playing 2K! Guys, put on your NBA 2K hats, man. Come on, put them on. I know y'all got them. All right, what you got, Newsy? Nice defense team. Fantastic. All right, let me, I need to get at least one ankle breaker today.  Agent pulls up for the shot. Green! All right, let me just go in the post. Y'all, this is how you get it done in the post. I promise. A. Yo, I got the Shaq jersey on for a reason, man. You just hit a three, though. Good defense. I see Vortex, Vortex. Guarding new side on the baseline. New side, blunt animation. Takes it back, thinks it through. Spin move inside. Agent with the block. Comes down with the rebound. He's looking to pull up. Crazy shot. Bang! Let's get it, SSH. That's big Shaq in the paint, man. I tell the man's not hot. The girl told me take off the jacket.  Wow. Wow, very impressive stuff, fellas. I wish I could talk smack to the other team, bro. Bring it back. Oh, how much it takes away from the game, man. Yeah, you can do the honors, Vortex. You went out for that. I can't believe you did that. Yo, last shirt. Agent, what you think about 2K18? Bro, it's gonna be the greatest game of all time. If 2K18 was like the greatest, 2K19 is gonna be even better. Oh, this is gonna be a post shot. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Agent, no, no, no. Yeah, pass it. Oh, my God, man. What a phenomenal shot attempt that right there was. I hope they give it back to him so he can do another one of those phenomenal shot attempts. Give it to my guy. No, I wanted to give it to my guy. My guy's so easy. Hey, put up one of those phenomenal shot attempts, you do, man. There we go. The move worked. Okay, thank you.  Please come in the paint. Please come in the paint real quick. I just want to talk to you, but I'm not going to do nothing. I'll set the screen for you, Beth. Pick and lob. Yeah. Wow, that play was so fat. What? You give yourself.  I love this pick and pop action. Oh, my bad. I'm keeping it for you. I'm about to say, man. I'm just chilling, bro. Oh, my God. He's not helping. He's not helping. He's not helping. He's not helping. He's not helping. He's not helping. I don't think so. You know, there's someone with the park sliders that we don't know about. Actually, he loved her. Oh, my. Oh, my God. I didn't pick it up. Damn. The whole team jump, bro. That's tough. Yeah. Let's go. Get these guys out of here, man. Jesus. This game is so good, man. Oh, my God. It's a fantastic game. Oh, I just realized, Quizzie, you actually have a decent record, man. Sorry to ruin it today. Fatboy shoots a ill-advised three. Misses a shot. Agent, though, is down with the rebound. A couple of crossovers. Drives left. Kicks it in the corner towards Vortex. Back to Agent in a green light it is. Get the ball. And then pass it to me in the wing. I'm going to show you all the skill it requires to play with this bill. Just how challenging it is. Aiso, Aiso. Move away, move away. All you got to do is... Oh, my. Jesus Christ. Okay, here it is. Man, I just want to contact him so badly, man. I just want him so badly. Okay, game.  It's so risky. But it worked out. It worked out. Yo, look at the giant number on his back, guys. Could you read it out for me? No, I don't know what number that is. I can't see it, bro. It's not big enough. I can't really make out what it is. All right, let's get this W, fellas. Oh, this is it.

Hi everyone, Joe for jazby's casebreaks.com doing a Blaster box of bowman baseball 2023 bowman baseball ram team number 26 with eight mixer spots being given this ended up being the last filler So it's the only one we have to do big. Thanks to Jason K with one spot Carl with 29 spots Let's do the break first Let's roll it randomize it four to six ten times Yeah, I guess so when when if it's not all different names. It just seems less daunting, right? All right, there's ten times six four and a six and then four and a six ten times for the teams But your odds don't change Unless you're planning to buy a whole boatload of spots like Carl But your odds is just the same as if Carl's name were all different people's names All right, here's the first half of the less right here And there's the second half of the list right over there Jason K. You got the braves Carl you have the rest Thank you, and good luck to both of you in the break itself. Let's print and rip no trade window Yeah, Carl did by the first 14 spots in that and then when I released one more than I think all different people got spot So got a good mix of people in the break itself, too, which will be coming up in the next video All Chris was going ham John This is why this is the reason why I encourage People to buy their spots and don't wait for other people to buy their spots over the years You know there there have been People like Carl who picks up huge chunks of spots at a time and people are always like once that happens They're like they're crying. They're like, oh, I Was gonna buy a spot and then I was like well Why didn't you and then I was like I was waiting until it gets close to filling and That's uh, then I tell people never wait. That's why you don't wait Because you never know when someone wants to go ham in a break like this So lesson learned for a lot of people I think all right. There's anything Gutierrez. I'm serious buy your spots before someone else does Rangers to 399 So paper doesn't ship in this but chrome and numbered paper all obviously does And if there's like a Drew Jones paper in here, I'll I'll send that to all right nothing too crazy. It's just a blaster box, but Thanks, everybody for giving it a go now let's Let's see here Who's gonna win those spot you have been Carl? but uh, but not as long as Well, that's what they all say Carl my heart's been Our has been broken one too many times We've been doing this for nine years. I don't think you've been around that that long Let's roll it and randomize it three and a six nine times appreciate you Carl appreciate you Jason Good luck to the both of you top eight after nine good luck one two three four five six seven eight and nine and final time Top eight Look at that Jason your name's not in there. I think you got a spot We know Carl has spots Carl. Congrats, and thank you. Let's see what position Jason ended up in Spot three look at that. There you go Jason one through eight After nine congrats, thanks to both of you for getting in I'll see you next time for the next one Jasper's case fix calm


As is indicated there, my name is Kevin for anyone who doesn't know me. I work on Fedora infrastructure So this talk is going to be about our new communi-shift instance, which I'm going to talk about How it's set up how you can use it? What it consists of how we expect it to be used all that kind of stuff But I thought I'd give a little brief history of the the kind of things that we were That this is replacing essentially We have right now a private cloud instance that's running OpenStack 5 5.0. If anyone remembers that long ago And it's of course having lots of problems because it's so ancient and We have a number of instances there that are Community-oriented things we have maintainer test machines Coper run some of its stuff there. We have Just a lot of development instances for our application developers and We we kind of envisioned that cloud network as being a place where people could Spin up things experiment to figure out how their their applications were working You know test things get things to a state where they wanted to have wider usage things like that and It wasn't really that successful and I think we've learned a lot of lessons from that and Hopefully this this replacement will will be much more effective My presentation console is out of sync So we have this communi-shift instance. It's a OpenShift 4.1 instance and It's using a lot of a lot of hardware. So it's got a lot of capacity for things It is One of the reasons we went with OpenShift 4 as opposed to OpenShift 3 or another OpenStack something like that You may have seen some of the other talks at this flock about how the CPE team which I'm part of Or the Fedora engineering team as we used to be Are overloaded we have a lot of stuff to do. We don't have that much time We were trying to cut back on the things we're doing we're trying to focus on the things that will give us the most Bang for the buck. So one of the things we really wanted out of this is for it to be very self-service so people were not blocked waiting for us or You know asking us for things they could just dive right in and go do what they needed to do without any further Interaction and so OpenShift 4 for those of you who have not used it yet Is very hands-off as far as managing If we have time here, I'll show you because there's an update pending But basically when there's up an update you just click a button that says okay. Go ahead and update my cluster It does everything in the background. It moves your pods off of the node It updates the node it reboots the node and make sure it's working. It moves pods back onto it It does all of that and so that's gonna It it does work. It does. It's amazing It is magic. So what one of the things We really wanted was to have something that was low maintenance for us self-service for the people who are using it And so that people could actually get a lot of use out of it without us having to babysit it So how many people here know what OpenShift is have used it quite a few people good So I won't go too much into this but if you have never used OpenShift it's just basically a platform for managing your containers and You can stuff all kinds of things in containers as you might imagine your application can run in a container OpenShift has a concept called pods, which is multiple containers that are sort of able to talk to each other and perform different functions OpenShift gives you a platform that is Opinionated and is the same from a cluster to cluster you can export from one cluster import to another cluster. It's the same stuff And it's it's really nice because it's you can get started really quickly You can have it manage a lot of the heavy lifting stuff that the infrastructure That you would normally have to do yourself if you were if you were just deploying this to a VM or something like that So it's it's very handy for this sort of So here here are the use cases we kind of imagine for this cluster Proof of concept applications So you might have an idea for something and go hmm, you know I I think this is a great idea But I'd like to make sure it works before I ask people to help me with it that kind of thing applications to get your work done more efficiently at a good example of this is There's some folks who use Who build modules right now for Koji and do a lot of their work in their own Koji instances that they run elsewhere This is certainly a place that you could run that and Do test module builds things like that very easily application supported by The community that we are trying to not support ourselves anymore because we're trying to focus on things This is a great place to have the resources to stand up that application and Get a team or a group to work on it and make sure that it continues to to function and provide value to the community and It's a generally a nice way to for people to learn about OpenShift if you don't have experience with it or you want to to gain experience with it or See how it works There's any level of detail you can get to here sure and that's actually something that we've we've had in the past where Local communities have come to us and said, you know, oh, we want a website and you know place for gathering And we didn't have any way to do that, you know, we didn't have a general infrastructure for that kind of thing But yeah, that's absolutely something that they could run in in this in this instance So what do we support in this instance we support the OpenShift platform and that's it We want things to be as self-service as possible There will be outages at downtime, but we will try and keep that to a minimum as a minimum as possible I mentioned upgrades earlier OpenShift 4 is like I said has been really good at upgrades our Clusters running Red Hat Core OS as all the nodes So even the even the nodes are managed by the cluster manager by Kubernetes. So it does a really pretty good job about Processing through the updates and and just handling that for us So I don't foresee there being downtime for updates or things like that There might be up downtime for you know data center issues or network issues or things like that but there really shouldn't be that much in the way of maintenance and whatnot and So what does that leave for the people running things to support? Well, there's a wiki page that I have at the end that has a lot of this mention more in more detail, but It's up to you to back up your application which when you're using OpenShift That's pretty easy. You can actually export the the definition and if you have a database or something like that You'll obviously need to back up that database But it's actually pretty easy to do that kind of thing with OpenShift We definitely recommend that you put your Management of your application into Git you can use any Git forage you want Pager, GitHub, GitLab, your own personal Git server Whatever you want to use But if you use Git for your changes to your application that way you keep track of them You can roll back easily. Other people can contribute new pull requests, etc, etc And OpenShift is really built around that sort of workflow. Your application can build out of your Git repo You can actually set things up very Automatically so you don't actually need to mess with the OpenShift side of things anymore You know you just do a commit to your Git repo it OpenShift notices that there's a change rebuilds your source image Rolls out your your new application and there it is and you actually all all you had to do was commit that Git commit Another thing that's very important with this setup is your application needs to have a way For people to know who it is that they can contact if they start using your application and it goes down We're not going to be able to do anything about that. We need to know who to refer them to so We would definitely recommend you have some way of Referring them to you email address, etc, etc. Yeah, Tim Yes Yes, so that the question was is there persistent storage and the answer is yes and The second question was if you're responsible for backing up that persistent storage and the answer again is yes And we do have it. It's an NFS storage and we do have it set to not Reclaim so like if you got if you accidentally deleted your app or something like that That storage would still be there for a while until we manually went and reclaimed that drive that claim but You know, you shouldn't count on that. You should actually back up that information. So, right Right, correct. And the reason we thought about it You know providing a backup service or we even thought about providing database services things like that but then we get back to us doing a lot of work and We're already overloaded. So it's like, okay Do you want rawhide composed to be fixed today or do you want me to restore the data for this application? So we wanted it to be pretty clear that it's it's up to the user to to back up that data or not I mean if you don't want to back up your data and if you want to reproduce it If it depends on what your data is I suppose Huh No, it's it's just NFS right now, although I haven't run into that problem with that, but maybe it's still there. It's Yeah, yeah, absolutely we can we can look into that I think it depends on what you're storing I mean if it's a database then obviously you just connect to your database and do a dump but Right absolutely and Yeah, we can look into that and see what the best best practice is I think There may be a way to Get it exported or right You could maybe do it with another container that does stuff or possibly even just Some sort of OCR shell script thing. I don't I'd have to look but you're right. You're right. That's that's a good point Yeah So the question was would would we provide a platform for the backups and I don't think we plan to do that now I mean, I guess if there was a great demand we could look into doing that Correct. Yeah, and I was having a later slide about that But yeah, one of the other things is we're thinking of this as sort of a an incubator so like if somebody brings up an app and they get a team and they start making this app great and You know They It gets used by a lot of people it becomes central to whatever and it's it something that is in our mission So it's like something that helps with the build system or something like that Then yeah, absolutely. We could look at you know promoting it into a different area Yeah, open ship the question was logging shared logging and OpenShift does provide For itself a elk stack type of thing But that is just for the sort of the infrastructure so it would like log That your pod was crashing or something like that. It wouldn't be your application, but you can instantiate your own Logging stack, obviously you would have to store that data somewhere Okay, so the question is is the is the cluster manager view available We haven't talked about that, but I don't see any reason why we wouldn't make that available Are you seems? Good others question back there Yeah, so I've got a slide on on quota actually right right coming up. So let me let me get to that So this is just briefly talking about access right now or what our plan is is to have a fast operator or an operator that syncs fast groups and We'll just add people to a fast group and then it'll just Create your account or give you privileges to self-provision Right now that is not done yet. So I would ask anyone to who it wants access Let me know send me an email I will write a list and then after flock I will sit down and just add everybody and then you can log in We're using the Fedora IDP So it's it will use your Fedora credentials to log in and it will by default everyone will be a self-managed or a Whatever it's app creator or whatever that role is so you can create your own apps. You could create your your own pods if you need for some reason if you want a shared app if there's some app that You know multiple people are wanting to work on you don't want it in a particular your particular namespace something like that Just talk to us and we can set that up fairly fairly easily or move an app after the fact if if need be We're hoping or I'm hoping to do more widespread access down the road like Packager or QA or you know just open it up to all those groups and just you know see what what people want to use it for So quotas this is kind of the the low ball quota that we were thinking of but We could certainly change it. It's five projects ten pods five volumes something like that Like I said, we're open to changing this it just depends on how many people are interested What kind of apps people are doing that kind of stuff? We could also Either look at bumping this Totally or on-demand here Right, it's multi. It's multi project. These are multi project quotas. So No, it's ten pods total. Yeah, right. Yeah, we could We could put those restrictions in place but I was just going to start out at least not doing that and just You know if somebody we reserve the right if you're disrupting things to destroy your app, but Hopefully people are good about that and just you know use as much resources as they actually need also, I think that a lot of the well the CPU and and Some of the other resources are are kind of strange in OpenShift to deal with anyway, so So the future I've actually got a Cubevert CNV 2.0 installed and I've been playing around with it For those not familiar cube vert is a way to use OpenShift to manage VMs instead of containers Unfortunately, I hit a bug in 2.0 that makes it not very useful for anyone So I'm hoping there's a bug fix release out soon that will fix that as soon as a that's useful enough to where we can We can use it. I'm going to try and move all the stuff from our old cloud off So that we can decommission it And most of those things don't need a whole lot. They need you know SSH access or at web access things like that So as soon as they fix the the masquerade issue that I hit Hopefully we can move those. Yeah, Neil. I Don't know if it does nested or not, but basically what it does is it? Creates a pod that runs Libvert and runs your VM with the definition that you gave it So it may be possible to just to define that in the in the config I don't know Yeah, yeah, I'm not sure Right, I think the only thing that prevents that is you may need to get permissions to the kbm device or something like that Yeah, right Right. Yeah. Yeah, right, right and it's The VM stuff is is very flexible to there's different sizes and you can you can pick your image And you can say what the storage is that you want associated with it and blah blah blah you can use cloud in it Etc. If if you really want Wide availability as I was saying earlier I hope to open this to like some general Fedora groups so we can get people just testing it out and Playing with their apps So this is something that we have discussed but we never came to a conclusion on and we probably need to figure out it's been suggested that we we have some kind of heartbeat or Periodic check type thing so that We know you know if you start an app and you run it and then you leave That this app is you know, not really maintained anymore. Nobody's using it Etc. Etc. But it's kind of difficult to know what the best way to do this is so if anyone has suggestions on On how we should do this. We're all ears. So Yeah, that's Right for the recording that the suggestion is that we leverage the alert manager built into OpenShift to require app owners to do something or Prove that they still exist Periodically. Yeah, that's a good idea. That's yeah, I mean we thought about Looking to see if it had any traffic or you know Mailing the app owner but again, we want to avoid any kind of like manual stuff I don't want to oh, it's six months. I've got to go through these 50 apps and mail these people. No bad here Well, the the Kind of the top-level requirement there is that it's Fedora related. So People should not run their personal email server. No crypto mining No, you know, none of that stuff. So No So here's some links, there's our wiki page with more information We also have a hackfest Sunday morning So if you want to catch me and ask me questions about it or say that you're interested and want to log in Just you can definitely find me there and if you have any ideas or feedback or whatever The Fedora info list would be the best place or tickets if there's there's something you want to change. Yes Yes, actually, that's a good point. We we have set up the So open here for has operators that can do all kinds of fun things and we've we've set up a SSL cert operator so it's actually got let's encrypt certs for all of its stuff and Any application that wants to be under that domain, you know apps dot OS dot Fedora and for cloud Whatever will just be under those Those certs if you're doing a VM or you're doing something with an external IP or something like that You can actually call that operator in your app. You could say hey, I want a TLS cert for this route And it will it'll handle it. It'll get the cert Renew it keep make sure everything's great. So yeah operators are Awesome, right right now. It's a flat domain. So it's it's the typical there the top part of it is OS dot Fedora and for cloud dot org and So there's apps and then username and projects On top of that. So it is kind of gets kind of unwieldy But if there's demand for different domains, we could look at that but I Don't know if that matters that much But there are there are external IPs that will probably be get used with the VMs. So we could put Things that want other Other domains on some other external IP and do a different for Yep Yep. Yep, absolutely. Yeah, and if there was like say there's a popular app that a lot of people use might want a different Easier to use URL So actually we have three clusters because we have a staging cluster a production cluster and then this cluster But but yeah, it depends Really our staging in our production clusters We're keeping for things that we're actually maintaining as a team the infrastructure team and The community one is for things that so it's a matter of who's maintaining it or who's who's the upstream for it or who? you know that that sort of thing so if Yeah, it's very easy to move it would be very easy to move stuff through especially if it's stateless Right, right and and like I said at the beginning I mean our our vision for this is that it it pretty much self-manages itself and barring You know some sort of hardware catastrophe. It's just gonna run. We're not gonna it doesn't need updates It doesn't need or it updates itself. So yeah, I am it I am lying with that. Yes, it does need updates So yeah, it's running for one eight right now and actually do we have a little time left? Maybe a minute or two 419 is out and it's pending so I could click the little button that says update cluster if you want Yeah Which of course it will since I'm the network might be not too great here though And I wait it just see there cluster update is available Update now it's not done yet so as part of this update it like updates the red hat core OS on all of the nodes reboots them all and Updates all the containers of all the stuff that is the cluster so it like pulls the new containers Does stuff reboots it make sure that comes back up does the next one etc etc Right it evacuates all the pods off of the nodes as it reboots them and moves them back just in the background Right, so so the question is do we have any particular way of deploying the production open-shift stuff? So that you can look to doing that later in the in the future Yeah, we do and it's really opinionated. So it is all in Ansible. It's in our Ansible repo. You can look at it The way it works is it does everything in Ansible. So Ansible is responsible for creating all the the project all the objects Everything so if the cluster burned to the ground tomorrow, we could run Ansible the and the app would Be redeployed if it did not have any persistent data We we don't story ammo files we use Ansible to to make the individual objects So if you look it's it's not that it's not the ammo. It's like the Describes how the gamel should be I guess. I don't know how to describe that But you can look at examples on our on our Ansible repo Those are not but those are not the bra if you dump that out of open shift That's not what you would get you you wouldn't get you know Ansible roll this with this. Yeah Right Right, right on our production cluster. That's not true App owners have only permission to their app and Ansible runs the playbooks and everything they do not have For this one. Yes, absolutely you you can use OC you can define your app Whatever you want to do there, but again, it's up to you to back up that application or manage it However, you want to manage it You know, I'm I would suggest to get repo and you know have some management there But if that's not what you want to do that's fine, but you know if something happens Then you'll have to recreate it Yeah, yeah, I believe the registry should be available Yeah, so again the the thought here is also that anything in here is open source You should not never put anything in this that is not What is that 18% complete? So if you want to look at more detail you can look at the cluster operators here and it'll actually show you eventually It takes like 20 minutes or something usually Three masters and eight workers eight nodes Right. Yeah, it does them. I think one at a time. So you can see what what things are already 419 And it shows you that So it's pretty cool and it's pretty nice that I don't have to do anything our production clusters is OpenShift 3 and there you have to and their rel nodes not coro s So you have to evacuate them update them reboot them run ansible OpenShift ansible It's actually a Dell what's to Dell FX boxes. They're a blade type system. It's just Yeah, yeah It's it's in our cloud network though at the same network that our our private cloud is in which is completely Separated from anything else there. It's it's like directly connected to the outside so that Section of the network could not conceivably It's physically impossible for that network to get back into the inside Which also means if you need resources from from Fedora project your Request go out and then back in and use the public IP space. So there's no there's no like Back entrance to like coji packages or anything there, but you can go around to the public IP and and access that stuff Yeah, yeah, let's wrap this up any other questions. All right


Everybody forced here up in 2020 Bowman baseball jumbo four box number six Let's do it. Yeah, Ranny. Exactly.

I'm very happy to be here today. And I'm ready to have a lot of information after all day, after all great speakers. Do you have some space in your head? Right? OK, it's great. And thank you for opportunity to be here. I spent a great weekend near the beautiful lake in Stockholm. And I found that the most beautiful autumn, which I have ever seen, it's in Stockholm. Thank you for that. And thank your agile people team for this conference. It is a lot of interesting conversation. And we inspire it to each other. And I believe that each of you could stay on this stage because you have your personal strong stories. And today I'm going to tell you about agile in sales. I'm going to share my experience about that and why I believe that agile in sales is competitive advantage. Why agile help to triple your sales? And I will tell you about new Sway system. Couple words about me. I have experienced more than 10 years in sales. I worked as a head of sales department in big financial companies. And last five years, I helped different companies around the world with agile transformation. Now I help, I worked with about 12 different countries with different cultures, with different mentalities. And I'm mother about 10 years. And I'm from sales world. In sales world, we love numbers. We love to, this is our brain, we think by numbers. That's why I put a lot of numbers for you in this slide. And do you have, who is from sales in our room? Do you have some people from sales? One, please stand up. Two, three, could you stand up? I just, sometimes it's just one and it's me. But you see, we have a lot of people. Thank you, thank you for your coming. Last two years, we're talking about business agility. Do you know business agility domains? And if you're not, please find this information in the internet, it's very interesting. It's about how to change organizations. And this is domains and which we need to change to be agile organization. And in the middle of domains, we have a customer. We change process, we change culture, structure of company because we need to create value for our customers. We need to create value for our customers faster than our competitive. And that's why we came, we come to this conference to speak with each other, to inspire to each other. But in the middle, we have customer. That's why we change our businesses, right? And when I attend such conference, I always ask, do you, what about your sales? Did you start your agile transformation? What about your sales? And let's have some experiment. Please stand up who start agile transformation in whole organization, in any departments. Who start? OK, if you start this, we have a lot of people, all right? Thank you, sit down please, thank you. And the next question, who start agile transformation in your sales? Hero one, hero two, three, four, five, five people. You try. You will. I promise you will. Yes, you will, don't worry. And it's interesting, we're talking about customers, but sales departments almost lost department which we try to involve in agile transformation. And it's interesting why. And I believe that agile mindset, it's for each person in our company. It's for founder of our company. It's for person who clean every day our office. All people should think as agile mindset say, right? And OK, and how? And always people ask me, Marina, how to change them? They think only about money. They think only about their purpose. They don't like to attend different retrospectives or retrospectives or something. How to create such teams like in other pictures in Zappos? Do you know company Zappos? Yes, and it's interesting. And I hope during this talk, I will share my experience how to do it. And the first step and maybe first small advice, just tell your sales that agile, it's not just for IT. Because six years ago, when I started Apply Agile in Sales, all agile great consultancy told me, like Marina, it's just for software. It's just for IT. It's not for sales. You shouldn't do it. And when I speak with sales and say, like, do you know that last 10 years, your company started Agile transformation in software? Yes, but it's agile. It's just for IT departments. Why are you talking with us? We're sales. And the first thing, just tell them, this is mindset. This is way how you're thinking. And sales people, they think by numbers. And if you want to involve them in Agile transformation, just tell them, hi, I was in an Agile people conference, and I knew that Agile help you triple your sales. And maybe they will listen to you after that. But if you come and say, look, agile mindset, it's very good for you. Let's do it with us. I'm not sure that they will pay attention for that. And it's about language with people. And sales people, they really think differently. And I will tell you some story how we apply Agile in sales. It will be one case study. But I apply Agile in different areas, in health care, in hospitality, in brokers. Do you know who they are, brokers? They start Agile transformation. And we just start. That's why I wouldn't tell you about that. Maybe next year I will tell you. But this case study, for which I will tell you all, Johnny, how we change mindset of sales people, it's about one company where Agile help triple their sales targets, where Agile help apply more than 1,000 and 500 innovations in whole organization. And this case study about how they created competitive advantage in this company. And this company, it's about 20-year-old company. They produced and sell ceramic tiles, and about 1,300 people inside. And you see revenue of this company. And one day they decided that they have some problems. And they decided, OK, what we have, their sales targets in whole organization were less than 33%. They found that sales department didn't collaborate with other departments. Like, you know, sometimes sales people, I really love sales. I am from sales world. But sometimes they think that they are like a kink. And in other departments, it's like something not equal. This is sales, and this is HR, or logistic, or IT department. Do you have the same situation or not? A little, right? You're lucky if you don't. But in this story, they didn't have passion to change something. And sales people, they just thought, like, this is market. It's not ours. This is, I don't know, product, bad product, price, very high price. No. But they didn't have passion to change something. It was classic department that you saw in a video several minutes ago. And the founder of this company, one day, found this book. Did you read this book? Did you read it? Yeah. This book about Scrum, but in non-IT language. And if you decided to inspire your sales department or executives to start applying new tools, just give them this book. It's very easy, very easy language. Anyway, their business owner of this company found this book and decided, yes, we need to apply Scrum in our sales, and we will be successful. And he found it to me and say, like, Marina, you're experts in sales. Please help us. OK. We adapt Scrum because Scrum is a great framework if you have a product. We adapt Scrum. We create one team. We start from pilot team, just one team. Because all changes should, I think, it's my experience, should start from one pilot team. We need our success story in our company. Do you remember numbers? Our executives, our sales, they need numbers. We need grow numbers in our company, not in Google or Facebook. That's why we usually start from one team and start like a pilot team. And explain, guys, we are going to apply Agile. This is pilot team. And we will see how it's going. And all companies just looking how it's going. And it will be successful. They will apply it and ask to change them, right? OK, anyway, imagine one pilot sales team and three roles. We have business owner, like a product owner, a person with vision. We had coach inside, not head of sales. Coach who inspire people, who facilitate different meetings, who as a coach for this team. And we had a team. For sales, who always worked independently to be as a team, it's really something new. That's why we had three roles. We had one week sprint. In the beginning of the week, we had planning session. We had sales backlog. I will show you later how it looks like. Every day, they had daily 15 minutes demo when they demonstrated results and retrospective each week. And they had a scrum board with sticky notes. And this is, and after that, it was several years ago, we created a system. We call it Sway. That's why this beautiful song, which I asked, was about Sway, Sales with Agile. And we adapt scrum and created this system for sales. And we have, this is our backlog. And look, in classic sales, they focus just numbers. Numbers, how much money did you earn? How many meetings did you have? And how many calls did you have? Just numbers. In Agile sales, they should be with grow mindset, as Alice told, right? They should think differently. They should think about value proposition. When I asked in China, in Russia, in the United States, I asked salespeople, tell me please about your value proposition. And they, what? What is it? Or, OK, guys, how are you going to improve your team next three months? And they, Marina, we don't need to improve. We're best sales in our company. Guys, you need to improve yourself. Sorry, it's our world. But anyway, and innovations, they need innovations. And we create this canvas for each three months. We create this canvas. And this is our backlog for sales teams. And they put tasks from this backlog and put in their sway board in sticky notes. OK, and the main difference between Scrum and Sway, in Scrum, you have a backlog because you have a product. In Sway, we have business goals for three months, which focus for creating value for our customers. And I believe that we need, every day, our company should think about what kind of value we should create for our customers. And money will be a feedback from our customers. Do we, what about, are they happy about our product or our service or not? Money, now it's feedback. But value for customers is the first thing. In classic sales, money is the first thing. Just sell, take money, take your bonus, forget about your customers. And this is the main difference. OK, imagine a company, like we are one company, this company. And we apply Agil in the pilot team, for example. And they had 43% in the beginning. And Agil came to their life. And I teach them everything. They had a great workshop. Everything was fine. But after a couple weeks, we had a problem. Our sales went down, almost 40% from 20%. And business owner of this company was shocked. Like Marina, we invited to you and some problems, I see what's happened. Or sales people, they like, Marina, Agil doesn't work. We tried. We put sticky notes every day. We had daily stand-ups, everything. Agil doesn't work. It's not for sales. And we had a retrospective. And I explain, guys, Agil, it's not magic pillow. It's not tool. It's changes, which you should start from yourself. And this is our personal changes. This is new mindset for salespeople. It's not tool, which you could put sticky notes every day and you wouldn't have result. You should think differently. And we had a lot of problems. They didn't want to. And they really didn't see the reason to work as a team. Because before, each of them had their own clients, own goals. And it was really difficult to create a really team with them. The second thing, it's trust of executives, of managers. Because sales, it's money. And executives, they're afraid to have mistakes in this area. That's why they control every step of our sales teams. And it's like managers, micromanagement. They came to our stand-ups, like, I'm just standing. I'm just standing. And what exactly you are going to do? Sorry, we are going to create a self-organizing team in sales. Yeah, yeah, sure, I understand. I just want to ask what exactly he is going to do today. And this is about trust. It's about freedom for salespeople. And we had very big control for each steps for this team. The second thing, it's new mindset when they should think about value for customers. Because, look, in classic sales, salesperson talk a lot, speak a lot about product, about service. In agile sales, they need to ask, not talk, ask what we should improve. Are you happy with our product? Give us, please, feedback what we should improve. And this is asking. It's not selling. It's another mindset. And they call me at night and ask, like, Marina, I'm going to sell. Why should I ask? I should sell. I should push my client. I should take my money. I'm a great salesperson. Now you're going. Now you told me, like, I should ask something. What is it? And it's a new mindset. And the second thing, it's collaboration with them in other departments, especially with the marketing. Sometimes, I'm sure it's not in Sweden, in other countries. But sometimes between sales and marketing, it's like war. And sometimes between sales and software departments, misunderstanding. Yeah, it is. And they don't want to even try to start communicating with the other departments. And we had a lot of problems, really. But day by day, with common goal, with coaching, with it was one pilot team. And we wanted to show that they could. And they had a common goal. They start self-organizing. And they had another passion, another energy in this team. And in other teams, they just, what's happened with them? Why they are so happy? And from 43% during 12 months, we achieved 127. And when we had this success story in our company, in other sales departments, start came and asked, like, we want to do the same. How do you call it, agile? We want to be agile, too. And it was easy to involve them after that. Because they had success story. And the next step was to show these numbers to executives and say, would you like to try agile? And they see just numbers. And they told us, yes. And then we start change mindset of them. We created a self-organizing team in executive level. It was vice president of HR, vice president of sales, vice president of logistics. And this is another story. But anyway, they earned extra money for company. And it's really big money for this company. And interesting, I don't think it's interesting, that it was the same people. It was the same budget. It was the same company. They tripled their sales. And I think they had another mindset, another way of thinking, another way of communication with the other departments, another way of communication with the customers. And each week, each team had retrospective. In our retrospective, every time they created a list of ideas, of goals, which they should improve next spring. And it was their ideas. It was their innovations. That's why they had passion to apply it in business. That's why I count one team applied more than 300 innovations in the organization. In this case, we had five teams. And that's why, during one year, we counted, they applied more than 1,500 innovations. What kind of innovations it was? Some of them, it was big and expensive, like new syringe system. But another one was like, OK, let's collaborate with IT people. Let's play with football with them. This is small innovation, right? But they started as friends because twice, time per week, they played football together, sales and software people. And they had a lot of different ideas. And in classic business, all ideas from executive, like from here to here. In agile, all ideas from here to here. And they have passion to achieve it because it's their ideas. It's not executive's ideas. And that's why they change, usually, agile in sales. They start, make business run better. Because they start change all process. In logistics, for example, in this case, they change provider of logistics because they found that they had a better provider. And they invited on them executives and tell about that and change providers. And it was sales idea. But this idea was from customers, right? Because sales, they are voice of our customers. And I believe when we start agile transformation from sales, we automatically change whole organization because they have passion. They could sell their ideas through the company, right? And they communicate with different departments, with product, with the logistics, financial, HR, everything. And in this case, they found people by themselves. They came to HR and told like, sorry, we are going to find people by ourselves because we need special values. And HR, she called me like, Rina, what we are going to do if they will hire people by themselves. And I told her, you will think about culture. You will think about agile. And they will hire people by themselves because it's self-organizing team. And when company change, when our sales people change, they start communicate with our customers in different way.  Or happy person who call you and ask, how are you today? What we could improve? We want to make you happy. And our customers feel it. And they come back and they have secondary sales. They start tell about this story to their friends or something, right? And this is competitive advantage because in our world, it's very easy to copy your idea. It's very easy to copy your product. But it's very difficult to copy your culture. And that's why I believe that this is real competitive advantage. And I put all information about this talk in one slide. And you could write me and I will send you a guide for your sales. And just give them this information. Just share these insights with them. And maybe you will change your company after this conference. I believe that you have a lot of great ideas. And it's great when you put these ideas and share with not only sales, but in other departments. And let's change the world. Thank you so much. OK, I will say. Thank you.
