Hi guys, welcome back to my channel, and I hope you enjoy this week's sub vlogs. Happy Monday everybody! Today I have a half day, that's why it's so beautiful and sunny out, and I am kind of going for more of like a natural look this week, plus I just didn't have any of my makeup. I got a new outfit, so I'm hoping I can show that to you guys later, and yeah, I think it's gonna be a great week, and I have some fun things to share with you guys, and all of that. So, and I wanted to talk about Friday because I didn't give much context to that, so I wanted to explain a little bit further of what I was doing on Friday and kind of what that planning day meant. So, I am teaching fourth grade for the half day today, and they just went to the gym, and first off I wanted to show my new outfit because I'm super excited. I got a few dresses, the shirt, and two pairs of pants at a consignment shop called Turnstile this weekend. I was super excited. I always shop with like teaching in mind, like what can I wear to go teach, so I got this, and then these are really stretchy pants which I'm super excited about. Anywho, I wanted to talk about Friday because I did a half day doing some planning for the long term sub, so in the school district that I'm doing that in, they do unit plans, and they kind of come up with different projects and things for Readers Workshop and Writers Workshop, so I went to that because the main teacher isn't going to be there for that, so I figured it'd be really helpful for me to be there and to help out and like give some ideas, but mostly just to know like what to expect and what I will be doing with like a more in-depth view of like the whole planning process and everything like that, which I'm really happy about because I would be so confused if I think if I didn't go, so now I kind of have the whole like time that I'm in there really mapped out, and I kind of know exactly what to expect which is really really nice, and I'm super happy about that, so yeah that's what I did on Friday. I didn't really give any context to it or explain what it was, but that's kind of what I was doing. I don't think that's really typical for a long term sub to be kind of in on the planning process, so I feel very lucky and excited that I kind of got to put some ideas out there and know exactly what to expect when I get into my long term sub position, so I'm very happy about that, and I got introduced to everybody, so now my name's out there, and if I can prove that I do a good job, then it's just gonna be so many more doors opening for me to be able to get a job, so I'm really really excited about that. Otherwise, yeah, I'm just starting the week off. I don't have anything for Wednesday or Thursday yet. Tomorrow I'm in the first grade class that I was in last week. Today I'm in the school that I student taught in, in a fourth grade class, which is helpful, and then Friday I'm doing a half day in that kindergarten class I was in, so you guys just saying if you get your name out there and get some good connections, you will be getting, you know, put in the same classes again and again, which is really really nice, so just saying. Yeah, but my, I was part, so the subsystem that we use has apps that can connect to it and tell you when jobs come up, but anyways, I got a new credit card, and so that whole thing, the payment got messed up and they kind of suspended my account on the app, which is good because I didn't want to have to pay for a whole another month when I won't necessarily be needing it, but that's not helpful for this week and next week, because I don't know what jobs are out there. I've been trying to check kind of regularly, but it's kind of hard when you're like in the middle of teaching and then all that stuff, and you don't know right away when they come up, so I might be looking for jobs the morning of, which is something new for me that I haven't really done before. I think I've like done one where I accepted it that morning and then went in, so that's going to be different for me, but it'll be good because then I just saved myself eight dollars for this month and the next two months that I won't need to use that app, so that's kind of helpful, kind of worked out that way, but anywho. Yeah, I was also helping the kids with, right when they got here, we did a read aloud and then we're doing MCA practice. MCA is just like the Minnesota State Comprehension Assessment or something, so we are doing some reading comprehension and they are really going over basically like how to just read over the questions really well and how to take notes and read over the article and use the articles, like to go back and to answer the questions and things like that, so that is what I'm going to be doing and I'm also going to be doing that when I get into my long-term subs, so that's just something that it's good practice to do it now and kind of see what the best practices are, so that when I get into there it'll be really helpful. So yeah, and then after the kids come back from gym, they have math and social studies and then it's the end of the day, so I think I will catch you guys at the end of the day and I'll see you then. So we're going to do guys choose for your dream vacation and family. Use like different kinds. Use all the materials that you're seeing. Do different kinds every different time. Try different kinds, you have soil, clay, straw, like Jacob and Roya did here and the sand is the one that we changed, maybe the first time we do it we try sand, the next time we try clay. Here is an amazing book that I found in this first grade classroom, it's called of the icing by Barack Obama, a letter to my daughters and I think it's really amazing because they have different important people who made an impact in our history and people like Georgia O'Keeffe and later you'll see Einstein and Jackie Robinson and just really important people that I feel like it's amazing that he included these people in his story and it really helps to show the impact that these people made and how special his daughter's word to him and how the students in your classroom can see those things as well. So I really like this and I think you guys should definitely check it out. Happy Wednesday everybody, I am in a kindergarten class today. So a lot of my week has been these half days which I honestly don't mind but it makes the afternoon feel very very long and kindergarten is tough and I'm going to be in it the rest this week so I'll survive but it's tough, it's tough, it is. But yeah so there's that. I didn't really talk to you guys yesterday but I decided to show a couple clips from the day because there was a student teacher in there and we just chatted most of the time, we know each other from college and I just spent the time chatting with her because that would probably be the last time I'll see her because she is going to teach Spanish in the Dominican Republic as one of the kind of one-year kind of contract. So that's really cool, that's a path that you guys can look into if that's something that interests you. I would have done Spanish but my Spanish just isn't good enough, I have a minor in it but just not something that I felt confident enough teaching so yeah. So something from Monday that I really wanted to talk about is actually project-based learning. So I'm going to show you guys a couple of clips or pictures that I took from the class that I was in on Monday which was fourth grade. They were working on a dream vacation project and this was part of their project-based learning and so project-based learning or PBL is where students gain knowledge and skills by working for an extended period of time to investigate and respond to an authentic engaging and complex question problem or challenge. So in this one they were choosing a dream vacation and they had to research things like climate, the physical map and their itinerary and different things like that and then their driving question was how can we as travel agents plan a vacation to show people places to visit in North America. So this project-based learning basically helps them address many different standards within one project so there's probably there's usually many different parts that go into it and it's just a more authentic way of learning the material rather than you know on a paper and pencil or watching a video or something they can choose something that's really interesting to them and then take that and learn about the different things I need to learn about. So there is an idea for you guys. I really like the idea I heard about in college and never actually saw it in practice in schools so I hope that helps you guys a little bit and I hope you try it out in your class sometime. Happy Thursday, another day in kindergarten. So in the morning message that I wrote we talked about words that were tough for us and then we're and then we did the uppercase letters in orange and lowercase in green so that's what we did there. In game I wanted to share with you guys is called treasure hunt. We actually played it here in kindergarten and basically you do similar things to the game garbage. So in garbage you have a deck of cards and you have to put your cards in number order so in this game you have cards with different numbers and different colors on them that correspond to the different colors and then the different numbers in the rows in order to win you get treasure chests so what you do is the cards will go over there and then you pick a card and you basically you find which color and then one two three so then we just played it where like I would get a turn the students would get a turn but basically you kind of go through this process of you deal out all the cards face down draw card put that where it needs to go and then occasionally you might pick up so say there was a treasure chest here so you might pick up a treasure chest and then you get to keep it and the next person then would draw a card well obviously that goes there so then the next person would draw a card so this was kind of their way of playing it you guys could probably just play it with a deck of cards with your kids but it was really fun the kids loved it they loved beating me getting the treasure chest not that I let them win and playing this game so it was really fun and I definitely recommend playing more card games with kids because they love them and they're actually really fun and educational all right the kids are at specialist and I am just going to write some final notes they are basically going to come back and leave so yeah it was super fast way different than yesterday's class I mean it's still like a little bit wild for me but and like a little bit unstructured but yeah it was super fun I'm glad I got to come today and um I think I'm going to end it there before some of the teachers come back because they've really been checking on me which is so nice of them so I will catch you guys tomorrow when I'm in another kindergarten class and then spending the other half of the work day working on my indoor triathlon training so I'll catch you guys tomorrow bye


I just joined to be a firefighter, just because that's what everybody else was doing, and it sounded like a pretty cool thing to do. So I joined to be a volunteer firefighter with my local brigade. Hi, I'm Susan Little. I'm a member of the Hamilton Fire Brigade. I've been a member of that brigade for about 10 years now. My children all joined as juniors. One has continued on and is now a senior firefighter with the Hamilton Brigade. She's just seen the friendships and what it does has been part of the community. It's been a huge part of my life to see it. They've been a huge part of my life and I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have it because you just make such great friends. We're a strong brigade. We're a family. We're all a family and we've got a really strong junior brigade and we're hoping that they will step up into the ranks of seniors. So we've got a big bright future out there for us.


I heard that the international nakotis control board is condemning what is happening in Uruguay, Colorado, and Washington about the legalization of marijuana. I think the bottom line is that the draconium drug policy that we've implemented for so many years have actually failed and there's need for reform. And what the people are just calling for is to have drug policies that are people-centered.


فشرف بل اشتغالي بالعلم ولا تبغي به ما عشت يا دادا دالا وياله من شراف عظيمي الحمد لله رب العالمين له الحمد الحسن والثناء الجميل وشدوى الله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له يقول الحق وهو يهدي سبيل وشدوى النسيدنا ونبينا محمد سل الله وعليه وعلى آله واصحابه والتابعين لهم بإحسان إلى يوم الدين أما بعد إن شاء الله تعالى ونسأل بكتاب التبيان في آداب حملت القرآن رتل باي الامام الامام النووي ورحمه الله نحن نتحدث عن الوقت عندما سجود تلاوى ما هو سجود تلاوى؟ can you do سجود تلاوى في الأوقات المنهيوة عنها؟ نحن نتحدث عن ذلك ونذهب to the next section ما هو سجود تلاوى هي سجود تلاوى ذلك هو سجود تلاوى ماذهبوا جماهير العلماء من السلف والخلف فلا باسل لا يقوم الركوع مقام السجودي لا يقوم الركوع المقام السجودي في مكان السجود تلاوة when he has a choice to do so نعم أبو حديفة on the other hand held the view that Bowen can take the place of prostration the majority of scholars derive their evidence from the established fact that Bowen cannot take the place of the necessary prostrations during prayer those unable to prostrate however should lean forward and lower their heads as it's done in the gesturing and this has been dealt with by this topic which is that if a person is unable to do sujood or they are unable to pray like that what's the ruling pertaining to it I've actually spoken about it in detail I made a series about it which on YouTube I called it praying on the chair so what's the ruling of praying on the chair we spoke about it in detail there now section the method of prostrating for recitation the prostration of recitation is made in either of two situations so he's now going to tell you how the prostration should be done the sujood here is sujood to Tilaoa how is it done now first outside of prayers second during prayers so the first one is whilst the person is praying and the second one is when the person is not is not praying now that which pertains to the first situation outside of prayers is as follows one desiring to make the prostration of recitation outside of prayer must first form the intention and then make the tekebiha to the khan saying Allah for ever lift his hand up to his shoulder as he does in prayer and then make another tekebiha and prostrating this time without waiting for time the second tekebiha is recommended but not a condition as in the case of the necessary prostration during the prayer there are three opinions regarding the necessity of the first tekebiha tekebiha to the khan the first opinion and that held by the majority of scholars is that it is a pina and that the prostration is not valid without it the second opinion is that it is recommended and that leaving it out will not invalidate the prostration this is also the opinion of sheikh Abu Muhammed al-Juaini that's the father of Abu Ma'ali al-Juaini that's his dad Abu Muhammed al-Juaini is the father of the author of al-warakat that's his dad the third and final opinion is that neither a pina nor is it a prostration and Allah knows best if the individual who intends to make the prostration is standing he should make tekebiha to the khan while standing and then another tekebiha while falling to prostrate and this is what we've just described if the individual is sitting on the floor however, some of our companions have stated that it is recommended for him to stand up and make the tekebiha to the khan and then fall straight into prostration they give evidence for this view by comparing this situation to prayers and the prostration therein أمام الشاهدي عمي سكوليز وشاهدي سكيني أم فاتكي هوتوت أبو محمد al-Juaini اللقال يوكسين and his two companions the author of التهديب التهديب الإمام أبو القاصر الراكب الإمام الحرم الحرمين ما بشن ذاكس هذا الإمام الحرمين إذن الإمام الحرمين أبي معمol al-Juaini أبو محمد إمجاره أبي محمد إمجاره أبي محمد وأنه يارفد لتعرف لا يوجد كلاة أبي這裡 كان فقط أبي محمد أعتقد أني لا أرى أي أطفال هذا. يبدو أنه يبدو أن يكون صحيحًا من إمام الحرامين. إمام الحرامين هو right by Saina. أن يقول أنه أبوه لا يوجد أثناء. وأنه لن يوجد أثناء منه. يقول هذا as there are no reports of this from the Master of Allah. or those who followed in his first steps from among the highest predecessors. أولاً أن you are not a viewer of our companions who have mentioned that Allah is best. Upon prostrating it is right, it is important that they image individual add here to the necessary etiquette with regards to posture and means of glorifying Allah. And so one's hand must be placed on the ground at the level of one's shoulders. So you put your hands like this, you leaver it to your shoulders. So your hand is level to what? هل أنت أخذت أخذتك أخذتك؟ أخذت أخذتك أخذتك، أخذتك أخذتك أخذتك، أخذتك أخذتك أخذتك must be outside of his sleeves and touch in the ground while keeping that elbow spread away from the sides and one stomach must not be resting on his thighs لذا لا تضع your stomach on your thighs. I mean your legs should be spread out but times of necessity if this places tight and you have to then that's something else but generally speaking your stomach and your thighs shouldn't touch so it should be spread out right? In the case of women or hermaphrodites their elbows are not to be hermaphrodites so you know what a hermaphrodite is is a heishi so a woman and a man who's like a woman both of them so you tend to see this concept that keeps bringing up this is not something in our culture and in our community we have any issue with if a man is a heishi he's still considered but in the Arab community you have to realize this is a problem for them before one of the chapters I jumped I didn't want to talk about he spoke about the amrite the amrite is the man who doesn't never gain facial hair he looks feminine he's very soft like a female he talks about lowering your gaze from that now that's something in the Arab community that's very very very very very very problematic for them very problematic that they would find fitna from those type of people that's not something in our community I hope so and our people don't suffer from amrite brothers am I right yeah lower your gaze from a woman is a fitna for men like in a boy or a man who's got no facial hair but this is a big problematic thing for them so they mention it in their books lowering the gaze and the fitna that he has and staying away from it they stated because it was a community problem so we shouldn't bring that out to the open mass and talk to them about these things because it's not something we even think of right you don't think about that stuff so here he talks about the woman and the male within the scholars of the madahibs they mention that the woman's prostration should be different from the male's prostration that she shouldn't spread herself out she shouldn't do everything like the way but that's incorrect the woman's like the man خلص none of this shyness that they're talking about or she has to keep herself together and she shouldn't do that all of that is what is null and void because the Prophet ﷺ came to he was teaching who the male and he was teaching the female and all of them he was their teacher and never did he ever say I'm praying like the men and the women should pray differently does that make sense and if it's shyness then the Messenger ﷺ knew the concept of shyness and he did it say to the women you have to keep yourself together you have to bring your legs together he didn't say any of that if you go to if you go to what do you call it the حرم and you see the elderly women the elderly Pakistani sometimes you feel like they just become a ball the way they are it's just like they're old just like that their legs is just they just literally it's like someone who is sitting who just put his head on the floor do you get my point that's not a sujood that's not a sujood in any way for more shame but he pushes that concept that she should keep herself together هاية فإن كانت إبراعة هاية أو خلسة the person prostrating must also ensure that the rest of his body is at a level higher than his head and should place his forehead and nose firmly on the ground while maintaining tranquility throughout his prostration as for the means of glorification during prostration or recitation our companions have stated that the individual should glorify Allah in the same way he does during the normal prayer this can be done by saying glorify this my lord the most high three times I've been saying oh Allah to you I have prostrated in you and in you I have believed and to you I have submitted my face has prostrated to the one who created it shaped it split it and eyes with his power and might glory to be Allah the best of creators there's a point that came to my mind and this is the concept of having the belief that for instance that at the time of the messengers peace be upon them there were practices that were done and the Prophet peace be upon him came with success for this world and that hereafter peace be upon him and as we said that the prostration of the woman is exactly like the prostration of the men because the Prophet peace be upon him came to teach each and every one of them are we together brothers the same way is that the Prophet peace be upon him the same way is that the Prophet peace be upon him his lessons that he would give the Salat that he would pray when it's the best of actions he would pray like this and the woman would be at the back all these veils that are placed between the men and the women like these curtains and these things that are put ما أنزل الله behind the Sultan there's no evidence for that are you with me to say that the women have to be in a segregated section where walls are placed around them this is not what the Prophet peace be upon him nor did the pious predecessor do it and to say that now it's a fitna the Prophet knew this fitna and it was more knowledgeable than you in this fitna are you with me brothers he didn't do it so we follow the Prophet peace be upon him what he did and we follow him what he left and so if that Sunnah has died in so many people's faces and he's died out the reviving has to be done are you with me brothers it has to be it has to be done that's the reality of the matter that the Prophet peace be upon him would do prayer at the front and the woman would pray at the back so the woman's sujood should be normal but she should never pray in front of a man does that make sense a woman should pray in front of a man where should she pray at the back so if she's at the back no one's going to see how her sujood is what she's doing she prays properly now and she stays at the back that's how the Prophet peace be upon him his time was peace be upon him but because some people have thought that they have Taqwan Iman and the fight against the concept I think they fall into extreme with this segregation extreme زيادة and that is not piety in no way for worship صح لأن نتبع السنة فعلا وتركة we follow the Sunnah which the Prophet did we stay away from that which the Prophet doesn't say it away from صح and if the Masajid can revive the concept of خطبة where the men pray at the front and the women pray at the back with no veil they should do that do that they should what and this argument of saying that the people have changed that the time is different يا أحي that's a door you don't ever want to open that door opens way let it opens doors of corruption to say that the times are different every single thing somebody can say the times are different are you with me لا this application is specific to this frustration and should therefore be adhered to the word means what blind so they used to name people blind for example أبو القاسم رحمة ابنو فير رحمة الشاطب رحمة الله أضرير he was blind ألمام الشاطب was blind رحمة الله I wanted the things that were transmitted from him ألمام الشاطب you guys didn't know ألمام الشاطب right which one what لقاري his name is called أبو القاسم some scholars call him أبو محمد difference of his Korean أبو صحق الشاطب is the one who and he was blind and an Imam who is teaching how to recite the Quran and he is blind how does it work he has to see people's lips right and their teeth and their tongue where they are placing it and he is an Imam in this field an Imam he was blind and he can tell the person's lips the way they are moving and their tongue he will tell everything no you put your tongue in the wrong place رحمة الله إن شاء الله تعالى we are going to teach that book we will listen to yesterday عقيلة الأطراب عقيلة الأطراب which is في أسن المقاصد في رسم المصحف إن هذا المصحف is written الإمام الشاطب has a book on it شاء الله تعالى when we do the the book that we started on Monday after that we can do the عقيلة الأطراب the one who was reading yes we do that the book إن شاء الله هذا المصحف is written إن هذا القرآن was written نعم he mentioned in his book a Tafseer that Imam Shafi' I atedisapplication when has this Plot where the promise of our Lord shall come to pass I heard 100 names He used of the word آل الناس is that word that is a big praise حي ir أان فضل شافي VID They used to use as big statement like a Shaykh stuff like that praising somebody but generally speaking today ماذا يفعل؟ فقط مدينة، صح؟ هل يوجد أيضاً مدينة أخرى؟ لذا فهذا ليس مدينة أن يزقوا أفوصكم وعلموا بمن التقاوة. ماذا يفعل؟ فقط مدينة مدينة. ماذا يفعل؟ ماذا يفعل؟ ورعاً. شايف إيهالت أو يقول شخص هذه الكثير من الكثير من المسكاتات المتحدة إذا كانوا أجدهم إشعالها. في سجود تلاوة but you're not reading on the ground of what? of Ibn Qur'an because you can't read the Qur'an in a poem just with the intention it changes so when you're reading this, you're not reading as though it's an ayah from the Qur'an you're reading it as though it's a as a dhikr and a dua so what did he say? that transmission from what? what did he say? that transmission from Shafi' the attribution of this statement in Shafi' is established during a very scarce chain of narration what does he mean by scarce? strange yes, scarce that's what he says a very scarce unheard of chain of narration the opinion, however, is sound as the Qur'an crazes those who say this while illustrating it is hence recommended that one combine between these different applications while illustrating and invoke Allah for all one once in this life and the next if during prostration one says just some of these supplications he will be rewarded for having glorified Allah and if he doesn't say any of them he will still be rewarded for having prostrated as he would before prostrating in the normal credit once the person prostrating has finished glorifying Allah and supplicating to him he should raise his head saying الله أكبر there are two popular opinions attributed to the Naqshab regarding whether or not the Salam needs to be said after prostration the first opinion is that it is necessary just as the Taqibah till the Haram is necessary and in this case the entire ritual will take on a form similar to that of the funeral prayer this opinion is supported by an authentic narration by Ali ibn Abud Darud stating that Abdullah ibn Masr ibud would prostrate upon meeting a verse of prostration and then say the Salam so the first so what about the person when he does the sujood tilawa does he have to do a Salam there are two opinions does he have to say Salam عليكم so he says the first one is and it's a strong list to him and it's a view of the majority of the scholars is that he needs to and it's like the Jalaza and the person has to say Salam عليكم and he used the hadith of Abdullah ibn Masr ibud which he says اذا كان إذا قرع السجدة سجد ثم سلمة so ثم سلمة means he would do his Taslim that's the first opinion the second opinion the second opinion is that it need not be said just as it is not said when being during prayer and because there is nothing to suggest that the Prophet among those who hold that the Salam needs to be said there are two opinions as to whether or not the Tisha hope it needs to be said the correct opinion is that it does not need to be said just as it is not necessary for one person to say some of our companions have combined between the two issues and state that there are three different opinions as to the necessity of saying Salam and making Tasshab the first and most correct of these opinions is that the Salam be said without the Tisha the second opinion is that it needs to be said and the third opinion is that both are necessary among the three discusses we believe that the Salam is necessary Muhammad Ibn Sirin Abdul Rahman al-As-Sulaimi Abdul Rahman al-As-Sulaimi and Abu Al-Ahwas Abu Qilaba Abu Qilama and the Ishaqa those holding the views that the Salam is not necessary include Hassan al-Dasri Sa'id Ibn Julay Abdul Rahman al-Ahwas Yahya Ibn Wathab Yahya Ibn Wathab Yahya Ibn Wathab Yahya Ibn Wathab and Imam Ahmad sometimes you can't blame the translator he's probably using a bad Arabic copy this copy as I said it's the strongest copy so he might have translated it from one of those bad translation the bad Arabic and he brings those kind of translations so that's when you're translating a book you should always look for the best copy of it it is important to bear in mind that all of the above mentioned opinions pertain to the prostration of recitation made outside of the prayers that which pertains to the second situation within the prayer if one prostrates for recitation during prayers he does not need to say The Taqbirat al-Hiram but it is recommended to him to say Allah Akbar without raising his hands when prostrating and he should do the same thing when rising up for prostration this is the correct and most popular opinion according to the majority of scholars among our companions Abu A'iri Ibn Abu Khureya was of the view that the Taqbirat is made only when prostrating and not when rising back up so the person just says when they get out of this they just leave the first opinion however is the more popular of the team as for the manner of prostrating and that which is said during the prostration much of what we have said about the first situation prostrating outside of the prayers applies to this situation of prostrating within the prayers also if the one prostrating is the Imam he should not prolong the prostration unless he knows the congruence he shouldn't remember when you are leading a prayer you should observe the people you are leading you shouldn't be very evil in lengthening and what you should do is observe the people you are leading if you can hear a child crying all of these are things that you need to take into consideration if you know there are elderly people praying with you if you know that there are women praying with you and everything you need to observe the prayer later now on rising up from the prostration of the prostration during the prayers the individual should move immediately to the signing position and not to assume the relaxing sitting up position on his way this is one of the scarcity mentioned issues that hardly anyone has discussed among the few who have discussed this are Al-Aqadi Hussein and Al-Bawawi and Al-Rawafiar the importance of mentioning this lies in the fact that the correct and chosen be taken by Al-Namashiaqi and the furthest supported by authentic narrations in Al-Bawawi and other books of Hadid regarding the relaxing sitting position it is that this is recommended after the second compulsory prostration of the first Raqaa and the third Raqaa and the third Raqaa and the fourth Raqaa one must stand upright after having completed the prostration of the recitation and it is recommended that something of the Qur'an be recited after ba'in it is before ba'in it is however the principle for one who has risen from the prostration of the recitation to ba'in when reciting anything at all section regarding the preferred times for recitation the most preferred time for reciting the Qur'an so the question is which one is better pronouncing the sujood or pronouncing the qiyam so according to him the Madagw Shafi'i and the other opinions is تطويل القيام lengthening the prayer sorry lengthening the stand is better than lengthening the stand is better is better is better than lengthening the sujood the reason why is what is what is it called what is it called the Salah at night is named after what the standing named after the standing so that's the virtue but then the others argue and they say because Allah says to the Prophet ﷺ أنك تقوم أدنا الله knows you stand the prayer is a component of standing and sujood and everything else but Allah is saying I know that you stand at night so this is the reason why Allah mentioned that is because it's the most virtuous some scholars they say the sujood is the best because the Prophet ﷺ has said the time when the person is most closest to his lord is when he is in a state of frustration فاكتروا في الدعاة وانتوا في sujood so lengthen in the sujood that's when you're most closest to who you're most closest to Allah who is سبحانه وتعالى so lengthen your sujood so here the scholars they differ within themselves which of the two are better أفضل الصلاة they say which one is better تطويلوا القيامي في الصلاة or تطويلوا sujood lengthen in the sujood other than the obligatory prayers was the best prayer the قيام is better قيام is better قراءة الليل at night and within the night what time is even better نسف الأخير the last third the last half of the night is better than the first half of the night and the reading between مغرب and عشاء is really is recommended as well the reason why it's recommended is because people tend to want to go sleep to finish off your day with the Quran is very good as for the reciting at daytime as for reading at daytime the best time to read at daytime is after صلاة الفجر نعم after the dawn of prayer and it is not disliked that one recites at any other time during the day for a meaningful reason as for that which was narrated by Ibn Dawud stating that it is reported that his teachers his teachers disliked reciting after عصر under the pretext that it was the studying time of the Jews نعم معانين ابن الرفاعة he is narrated from his teachers and now I'm carrying reciting after عصر and they said who are the last to be a hooded it's the studying of the Jews now he refutes this and he says he says that this is unacceptable as there is no origin for this statement the statement of this has no foundation because the calam of the ulama is a proof it's not proof they need a proof the scholars they need a proof for their statements so since معاني ابن الرفاعة is argued that he has no proof is rejected


Good morning, everyone. Thank you for joining us for morning prayer in the heart of Kalamazoo, Michigan. It's good to praise the Lord. We're just going to open this morning in Psalm 96, verse 7. It says, Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples. Ascribe to the Lord glory and strength. Ascribe to the Lord the glory of His name and bring an offering and come into His courts. Worship the Lord in holy attire. Trimble before Him all the earth. Say among the nations, the Lord reigns. Indeed, the world is firmly established and it will not be moved, and He will judge the peoples with righteousness. Lord, we love you, and we do just enter into your courts this morning with an offering of praise, with an offering of proclamation in agreement with the hosts of heaven this morning, ascribing glory to you, Jesus, the only one found worthy. Lord, we enter in with thanksgiving that the earth is immovable because you hold it by the power of your word. We come in rejoicing in your goodness, in your faithfulness, in your power and holiness and glory. We give you the honor that you were due this morning, Lord. We mix our voices with the voices of angels proclaiming your worth before heaven and the earth alike. We thank you, Jesus. We thank you for who you are. And we just enter in with a prophetic proclamation over the nations because your word says do it. And we declare the Lord reigns over the seven continents of the earth. The Lord reigns over the United States of America. The Lord reigns over this state and over the city of Kalamazoo. The Lord reigns. You can just begin declaring that with me. The Lord reigns over our families, our children, our grandchildren. The Lord reigns over the unique circumstances and contexts and mysteries of our life. Over the pressures, the Lord reigns this morning.  In your name we pray and give thanks. Language, go ahead and just pray and sing in the spirit or sing in your understanding or release the glory. This is our offering with a mile of our pilgrimage. In every season of our soul, God, this is the pledge of our heart to ascribe glory. Do your name. From the mountaintops, from the places of victory, we give you glory, God. From the shadow miles and the valleys, God of failure, we give you glory. Sometimes with a shout of strength and sometimes with a whisper of weakness. But Lord, we lean in, we behold your beauty. And we ascribe the glory that your worth demands. We love you, Jesus. And thank you for this privilege to worship you, to partner with you in the place of prayer. We're going to stay in that posture of worship, but we're going to shift a little bit now into the place of intercession. And as we do, I just want to remind us just of a couple statements that Andy Bird made this past weekend. And one of them was that God is not done with America. Just like Pastor Josh's song, one more time, he's not done. And therefore he wants to move and we get to partner with him in the place of prayer. And the second thing he said was that there is a reawakening for the centrality of the Great Commission. And there's an implication with that statement that there's a reawakening now to the place of prayer because prayer and missions goes hand in glove. And so I just want to lean into that in agreement with God in the place of prayer today, that he would stir up a praying church unto the filling of his spirit with boldness that the Great Commission would go for. If you have your Bibles, let's go ahead and turn to Acts chapter four. We're going to pray the scriptures this morning. Acts chapter four, verse 29. And now Lord take note of their threats and grant that your bond servants may speak your word with all confidence while you extend your hand to heal and signs and wonders take place through the name of your holy servant Jesus. And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and they began to speak the word of God with boldness. So Lord, we just stand in the gap in agreement with your heart as the Great Intercessor for our nation, for this region, for our city. And God, I thank you that you are not done with America. I thank you that even now you are leaning in as the Great Intercessor and you are declaring the prophetic destiny over our nation and over Kalamazoo God. And so we agree with you Lord Jesus, we say take note of the threats Lord. Take note of the threats of your enemy. Take note of the threats of this culture God, the sway of this world, set against families and Gen Z. Take note God of the threats against marriage. Take note of the threats against our economy. Take note of the threats in politics God and in the sciences Lord, we lift these before you and we say Father would you answer back with grace for prayer. Would you take note Lord and would you open up the heavens and would you raise up men and women, youth and children God who run to the altars of your presence and who agree with you Lord for the outpouring of your Holy Spirit that changes everything. Lord we just say prayer is the answer God because you ordained your kingdom this way. So we stand in agreement we say Abba we need you for everything. We need you to love you. We need you to want you. We need you God to pray and agree with you in this hour. So Lord we're asking would you open up the heavens, would you take note that the fields are ripe once again God. The fields are ripe for the harvest Lord of souls in this city and in this nation and in this next generation. So God we're asking would you rain down grace for your people to awaken to the place of prayer in Jesus name. Father that heal hearts, heal this land God when your people humble ourselves, turn from our wicked ways and pray. So God we're asking for this acts for reality that the gathering of your people God would be around the place of prayer that you would hear and answer with the outpouring of your Holy Spirit. A spirit of boldness and confidence for leaders to proclaim from pulpits the full counsel of the word of God. The spirit of boldness Lord upon young people to take their campuses for the gospel of Jesus Christ for missionaries God to be sent forth to the hardest and darkest places of the earth. God we're asking would you raise up your priesthood in this hour all across the cities of America all across the rural towns Lord. We pray would you awaken your watchman to the place of prayer God that you would hear and do what you love to do and answer with the outpouring of your spirit unto the great commission unto God people being saved and cities being impacted. We're asking Lord we need a prayer movement we need the resurgence God of a praying people alters God in homes and alters in churches alters on campuses God where prayer fires burn perpetually oh Lord raise up your watchman in this hour in Jesus name nations generations of your people God of this people this city this nation the cities represented on the live stream God we're asking raise them up those who take no rest who give you no rest who remind you of your prophetic promises because they're yes and amen who go again and again and with us Jesus begin with us Jesus weakest yes God let your eyes fall upon that heart and strengthen with might for the sake of prayer awaken your watchman build your house of prayer let's just join this chorus the personal prayer for our city it's a prayer for our nation on Jesus and awaken the watchman to join you to agree with you sign the checks of your prophetic promises in this hour God of your people God because you're never silent for barbecues who gather God to seek your face to tug on the hand of heaven for the release of your power and your spirit in this hour not just to walk the house shall be called the house of prayer says the Lord my we will pray this is a prophetic declaration the nations of the earth his inheritance prophesied earth will be singing says the Lord just where this is going this is our labor there will come of me says the Lord but this reality a priest took up mysteriously so you thank you for fighting for us thank you for wanting us thank you for bringing us into this privileged place as sons and daughters your bride and intimate partners lord in prayer thank you for putting worship and praise on our lips we don't take it for granted Jesus thank you thank you for this sacred hour thank you for your presence that it's all about you and your presence we love you lord all that has transpired this beautiful hour God we asked that you would seal up and that you would multiply it many times over in our own hearts in large our capacities for more and more of this joining you in the place of prayer joining heaven in the place of worship and praise we ask for more more in this place more in this city more across this nation and the nations of the earth God raise up the altars where your presence is esteemed we love you Jesus we trust you Jesus we give you our hearts our homes and all that is precious to us in Jesus name amen and amen well thank you for coming and staying in and pressing into the place of prayer thanks so much for joining us this morning we are back here at noon today praying for the nations we invite you to come on down and we're back here tonight 6 30 p.m. God bless you

Command Sergeant Major Mark Morgan, as all of you know, excelled as the senior listed advisor for this formation. Ladies and gentlemen, to our community leaders, Wolfgang, Edgar, Hans, Alexander, Uli, I appreciate your kindness and friendship, I'll never forget you. To the protocol team that grinds it out every single day. I can't imagine having your job, so please don't ask me when I retire. Thank you for taking the time to help us commemorate today's change of responsibility. A special thanks for those of you who have traveled extended distances to show your support. It is absolutely an honor and privilege to be not only back in Bavaria, but also back under the Seventh Army Training Command. I'll be remiss if I didn't take this opportunity to thank some of those folks who have helped me along the way. First and foremost, I'd like to thank God for giving this opportunity. Like Mark, I'm going to take the opportunity to get my wife and children out of the way before I forget it and really get in trouble. So, I have to thank my wife and daughters, Isabelle and Sophie. Ladies and gentlemen, please stand for the playing of the Bavarian tenet and the Army and remain standing for the retiring of the public. Train to win!

Ready? Okay, before I get this talk, I'm asked to announce the winners of the poster award. So we, there were tons of posters, astronomical number of submissions for posters, right? There were staggering seven posters and it was really, really difficult to evaluate this so I couldn't do it on my own. So I was helped and assisted by Lambert Heller, Alexandra and Benedict, by the way. So if you could all give them a hand, that would be great. It's an arduous task to evaluate this poster and all seven of them, if I had money, I would give it to all of them. But since I don't, I'm a poor professor from Switzerland and London. So the two posters that we selected as some of the best, all of them were pretty good. The averages were pretty close by, but the two were fantastic. And the first one is by Moritz Schubels, repurposing open source tools from Bella Gibbs Wuppertal Group, by the way. Give them a hand. Yes, like present his poster tomorrow morning. Yeah, he or she has to present it Moritz. I hope it's a guy. And the second poster is to Eva Kelmar on blockchain readiness from the TU Doft. So, great. So, something is happening there. Well, it's getting fixed. Let me introduce myself. My name is Lauren Stodgenden. I am a professor of neuroscience at the, at a King's College London. I used to be a professor at the University of Zurich. I just moved to King's to be the director, deputy director of the Dementia Research Institute, which basically aims at defeating dementia in five to 10 years. So I'm a practicing researcher. I work with data, scientific data every day. I work with a lot of researchers who are fantastic. But this also allows me to see the good in scientific data, but at the same time, there are not so great things in the academic world. And so, Sunke has asked me not to give a scientific talk today, but he in our, he's asked me to give a talk on, on the two startups that I have, thank you, which are Science Matters and Eureka Blockchain Solutions, which I will touch upon it. But we were to tell you a little bit about the epistemology of science, the way we do science and the reason why we do the things that we do.  Oh, nobody, that's great. So, so that's the, there's this traditional capitalism. As you know, there are two cows. You have two cows, you sell one and you buy another bull, you herd multiplies and the economy grows, you sell, sell them and then, and then you multiply this income. This would be the French. You have two cows, you go on strike, organize a riot, block the roads because you want three cows. This is the Swiss capitalism, which is your five thousand cows. None of them belong to you, but you charge the owners for storing them. You know where I'm going with it. I'm Indian. So, if you're an Indian corporation, you have two cows and you worship them. I want to, I want to tell you the, the insane mad codestan with John Tennant introduced today, which is really you have zero cows, right? You give one arm and a leg to people called publishers along with data, idea, all of that.  And this is an insanely capitalistic market. And that's like $25 billion is just only in the English speaking, English speaking, scientific publishing and academic publishing. And there are like more than 50% of the margins. And I want to tell you this, this, this, there were these two tweets. There's a guy called William Morgan. He said, two academics walk into bar. They bring their own drinks and then they pay $5,000. And then John, John, is it, are you here? He said, that's not really great. But this is what the metaphor that he said this morning. And this is, it comes almost close to what we are dealing with every day. Not only we as scientists in my lab, we've not only read these papers, come up with great ideas, make observations, great hypothesis. Not only we ask and write a grant, we have to write this grant. This is like a strenuous process. We have to write a grant to the funding agency where you as taxpayers money, taxpayers give us the money. And we, we, we curate data. We, we, we work on experiments and we make discoveries, findings. And then, and on top of it, we provide this data to a publisher who then says that maybe this, this can belong to a scholarly space. And we have to pay something like $5,000 to, to the publisher. Not only to, to create this knowledge. There's this barrier to create. But at the same time, there is also a barrier to access knowledge. My university in Zurich pays around $5 million per publisher per year in order to just give us researchers access to the knowledge that is created by taxpayers and, and researchers. And, and, and so that's something this, this is extremely important to know the economics behind publishing. And, and, and, and I will tell you over the time that it's not just the publishers who put these barriers, but there is also another stakeholder who also puts barriers for this open science. And, and, and if you were to make science, let's say, even if you pay $5,000 per article and $5 million for, for access, did we make science better? Did, did I get a return on my investment? And, and is it, is it better? Actually, not really. Science is not entirely a, a, a rosy. There is high degree of irreproducibility and, and, and, and, and lots of researchers acknowledge there is a reproducibility crisis. Not only, it's not necessarily that we do science, the science that we do now is worse, but it's, it's a combination of, of somehow irreproducibility is higher. And at the same time, somehow we also came up, we are coming up with tools to detect fraudulence, detect misconduct better. But it nevertheless says that there is a crisis, there is a crisis in terms of irreproducibility. And, and the irreproducibility could come from many different ways. It comes all the way from kind of a, how do you say, a lack of robust validation of our science. There is somehow we rush to publish. There is something that, that we don't really robustly validate because there is an incorrect analysis, et cetera, to some degree of something so stupid like this. This is, this is, I'm sorry about that. This is from a group in Malaysia which published the cell biology paper where they show that, as you can see here, there are these cells that named one, two, three and four. And their idea is to say that the, you know, under different conditions, all these cells have different shape, right? I think this story went down like this. They started to, they submitted the paper, they submitted the paper with only four cells saying one cell, one looks like this, two looks like this, three and four look like this, but only having n is equal to one. And probably a reviewer would have asked, you know, it's not, it's not really scientific if you gave me only one cell to show that, that, you know, one cell looks like this. You have to show more cells. The researcher said, hold my beer. And then they went and clonally copied these, as you can see here, if you can see it, they cut this one cell and then pasted it on a black background and then showed it. Now you have more cells to show. Right? You can debate why they did what they did. And we will come back to this question as to not only questioning the morality of the researchers and why they did what they did, to also ask about the system that somehow demanded this dishonesty in some ways. And we'll talk about this particular issue today. And so it goes all the way to going from non-robust validation of truth or the lack of consensus that will allow me to validate what I will call it a scientific fact to something as really not very intelligent as this particular thing. And this is due to the fact, why do we do this? Why do researchers want to publish something? And this is this idea that we need publications. For researchers like us, publications are the currency for in the ecosystem that we live. In order for me to get a grant, in order for me to employ a PhD student or a postdoc, in order for me to feed my children, I actually need publications. This is the currency that we live in. And as a result, as soon as you have something like this, you end up manipulating, end up being non-robust. And an impact factor or the journal that has highest number of citations is called the impact factor. And if you could publish there, then many things are granted in a way. When I was finishing my postdoc at the Max Planck Institute in Dresden, I got a phone call, which I will never forget. And there's also the phone call that actually changed the way we design, I design and also it's the birth of science matters idea. A researcher, a very well-known researcher from the University of Zurich called me and said, like, you know, what, Laurie, what, what are your future, what are your future plans? So I don't really know. I'm just, you know, finishing my work. I was working on Alzheimer's disease. And, and he said, so what, what's going on? And I said, you know, I have these two papers, and these two papers are now under revision. And I don't know, I'm just going to think about continuing this work. He said, this researcher did not ask me, what was the paper? But he asked me, where is that paper? There was, there was no discussion as to what the contents of my study or the science was. But the question was really merely focused on where this paper, these two papers were submitted. It so happened these two papers were in a journal called Science. And, and I said that this is, they are in science. And he said something interesting. He said, if you had these two science papers, for sure you'll become a professor at the University of Zurich. And I tell you what, it did happen. I did have these two papers, and I did become a professor at the University of Zurich. Without, without really knowing what the content of the scientific study is. And I tell you what, we often have these dilemmas in terms of how a measure for metric should be, what a metric should be. And we do this because we are all here, not because we think this blockchain is going to change our lives. We are trying to make the system efficient. We are trying to make our lives a little bit more convenient and making, making sure that can we compromise effort with convenience. And so impact factor came as one of these measures. But the way it has changed exactly what you say. And, and not only that this, this would make you a professor today if you had these impact, high impact factor journals, you could get discount on a barbecue in China. So this is an actual restaurant in China where it's, it's called Lancet Barbecue. Depending on the last paper that you had and its impact factor, you get discount based on the impact factor of the journal that you published. All right. And this is very, very true. And so question is, what is this? And I think we have to discuss this. We all have to discuss. We understand that we are here to discuss about the potential of the technology. But even when we think and execute, design and execute, blockchain technology today for science, we need to understand, as Ulrich said this morning, as John Tennant said, can we change the mindset of the people? Can we change the incentive structure of, of, of academia today? And, and, and as I said, if, if a measure becomes the goal, it actually stops being a measure, right? No matter whatever we do, if we, this is our goal. If, if my metrics, the fact that I need to get a cell paper or a science paper or a nature paper, if that becomes the goal, I think we are in a lost battle in, in, in academia. And, and, and we go all the way even to kill people. I'm not kidding. This is, this is there. There is, there is, there are people who kill. I don't want to sound like a populist, but our Fox News really, this is the, these incentive structures measure against some of these social, the, the social good that we look for. I am an academic. I teach a lot of students. And when Nature published this report that collected various interviews from senior graduates scientists, this actually shook me to the core. It says like what, when, when, in many labs, when people asked the incentives to be first can, can, can be stronger or it is stronger than incentives to be right. And these have real life consequences. When we rush to do science or our goal is really to have papers as opposed to doing science. The real life consequences could be really money that it's, it could cost us a lot of money. It could also cost us delayed progress, delayed scientific progress. I work in a field which absolutely does not have a cure till, till date. And this is Alzheimer's disease. And, and, but as you probably know, if you read news in, in any newspaper, this is what you see. There is a breakthrough. We keep curing Alzheimer's disease in every paper, every cell line, every mouse model gets, gets cured of Alzheimer's disease. However, when it comes to the actual numbers that the Alzheimer's association sent us two years ago, this is the thing that is an upgrade. We haven't cured that the mortality due to Alzheimer's disease is actually higher. And, and when you look at the irreducibility that happens in these fields, there is a clear, clear retractions and, and etc. So there is, there is a lot of the, the way we do is that we try to somehow cure these diseases in a preclinical model and in these papers and in these cells. And, and when you ask this question, why is that? And there is a company that lost a lot of money on a clinical trial that just failed. And when they, when, when this company's money fail, the clinical trial failed in this dementia field, people wrote to them saying like, you know, we knew that this is, this won't work. We knew that this target is not a right target. Why did you go with, and so the company asked like, why didn't you tell us? Why didn't you tell us that it didn't work? Today we have paper journals that allow only positive storytelling. There is only, if you tell, if you go to a journal and say, this didn't work, there is absolutely no place to do this. And that's, that, and, and, and we all, in my lab, if you walk into my lab, there is at least 90% of the data that talks only about negative and replicatory and, and kind of experimental and not storytelling worthy, but there is this top 10% that is like kind of a story worthy or, or sensationalizing the way we, the, the, where we cure diseases in the preclinical model that gets published. And, and, and if you're an Alexander Fleming today, if you are, you know, if you're whoever you are making these amazing discoveries, if you, if you're in a rural part in, let's say Africa or India or Asia somewhere, and, and you make these brilliant discoveries, today you couldn't. You have to tell a story. You would have to, if Fleming's discovery were to be published today, then, then it wouldn't be, because you have a, you need to tell what the molecule is. We knew the model, the exist, the, the identity of the molecule much later. There is even in life sciences, you need to tell the mechanism through which this observation happens. In this case, the fact that penicillin would work against bacteria through cell wall synthesis happened only 40 years later. And today, publishers demand that you tell a story behind these observations. So as a result, science is closed. It is, you see, it is easy for me as a researcher to blame publishers saying those are the people who close science. I also want to tell you, not only that there is a demand for storytelling in, in science, but there is also a desire from a researcher perspective to tell a story. So if I make this observation like Alexander Fleming did, I want to keep that story close, because I want that observation close, because I want to make sure I can tell, I can collect all these elements to tell the sensational story that will go to a nature or a science. I found that science matters a few years ago, and then whenever I talk about it, they often ask, if you publish that first piece, the novelty for the rest of that story is gone. Can I still publish in nature? And, and I think this is extremely important to understand that closeness in science, the fact that we keep science close for a very long time from making discovery to publishing or dissemination of science comes from both, both publishers as well as researchers. And the reason is that we have this desire as well as the demand for storytelling. We have to have all these elements, and the elements cannot be negative. They cannot, they cannot contain plot spoilers. I can't tell today that this work in the cell line, in the transonic mouse, this is the phenomena that works for Alzheimer's disease. However, when I change this model to another mutation, another thing, another, just a cohort, if it doesn't work, I can't say this because I will be shooting myself in the foot, right? Nobody is gonna, but that's what irreproducibility in terms of when I go to a clinical trial, the fact that it doesn't work in, in different human beings could also be the reason that it doesn't work in these different clinical models. And I said, so a few years ago actually in, in already in 2009, I started to think quite a bit about really on, as to why as human, as scientists, we have this desire, and why do we, why do we do things that we are not really comfortable doing, but we have to do. And the storytelling, for me, came up as one of the strongest points that defines why we do things that the way we do, and probably a cause for store, for irreproducibility. So we started to say, perhaps what we need is some kind of a Lego like, like kind of an Instagram-ish, but in a way that you build these narrative as you go, as opposed to tell the narrative from the beginning, because you are biased as a, as a researcher, as an editor, as a reviewer. And so we created Science Matters without a need for story, but just put these single observations and, and, and, and hypothesis, and they will be, there should be periods, should be open, peer reviewed, published, saved, extended. And, and, and the interesting thing with real-time publishing and these, these elements that, that you would have to do is, is really that it, there is no reason to prune the narrative. There is no reason to cut the narrative in order to tell the very cogent and the convincing and the positive story, but all these elements can be part of this. And not only that, that you could extend your narrative in your real-time, but at the same time others can also attach it as a result and narrative emerges naturally, as opposed to an author-pruned version of the science that we are being told today. And so, exactly three years ago, today, on the 5th of November 2000, oh, it's not 2018, it's 2015, we launched Science Matters. Today is also my mom's birthday, so I want to say it's my mom's birthday. And, and, and so today I will also talk about Eureka blockchain. That's the blockchain aspect of, of observation, publishing and reviewing and reading. And so we created Science Matters to, to do this where you could, you could, you could basically write up in, it's like an Instagram post, so to say, and then, and then it's sent to peer review. We use triple blind peer review because there is huge amount of bias in peer reviewing and then it gets reviewed and rated and it gets published in an open access manner, just by default open access. And so one could, as I said, you can, you can collaboratively, collaboratively attach all these elements that belong to the narrative. And now what happens is that you can see, now one could, one could look at what is, if we could qualify these edges, the way that these nodes are connected, whether this is an extending edge, if this extends, or it is a contradictory edge or a confirmatory edge, now we can do something even cleverer. We could say we can now make a reproducibility matrix, for example, to say which nodes are highly reproducible, which nodes are not reproducible. The, the, the left side could be an Alexander Fleming network or, or a double helix of a DNA network. That is very reproducible, but for some reason something is not reproducible. It could be technical artifact or it could be, there could be a biological or a scientific reason why this is, this is not reproducible. And now we can, we can, we can confidently attach some score to these things. And so we, we, we call it metric and this is the pattern that we applied for. Now we, we filed both in the US and in the EU. Now, just the last couple of minutes I want to say, with science matters we really attack this problem of storytelling in science, allowing researchers to tell the story as they make these discoveries and, and as a result we can address both this design and the demand in storytelling for, for storytelling in science and we could publish these elements together. However, there are still some of these problems that we don't address and I thought, and I thought that we could, we, there is still this long delay in publishing research even though it becomes a single observation and we definitely reduce it to, to, to a sizable number. However, there is still this long delay going from a eureka moment of the moment of discovery, right, to even putting them together. There is some delay and there's a centralized trust that we talk about that the authors manipulate or like the authors control this data, there is a centralized control by authors, reviewers, editors and the publishers. And, and, and the other thing is there is this absence of fair credit. You know, we do a lot of these reviewing work and editing work for almost no money and now one could think about using, using crypto economy or tokenization model, one could think about providing some fair credit and so we decided to, to use blockchain as in the parallel mode we have science matters up and running and it is there for three years and, and, and, and, but at the same time we thought we should do an experiment with blockchain based publishing and trying to figure out can we address these other problems that we haven't addressed using blockchain based solution and this is called eureka. It's eureka token.io, you can have a look at it. And, and, and in this way we could really immediately timestamp discoveries and that's why we call eureka. So as soon as there is, there is a robustly validated observation or a finding or, or a hypothesis or a retired professor immediately you could timestamp and, and, and then, and, and then the, the other aspects of, of, of, of the scholarly process including evaluation of both observations as well as preprints and we can work assignment and then we could also call, we could also award these research through involving funding agencies at the end one could, by using tokenomics one could also incentivize a replication. We could also incentivize people's research that got cited instead of just having as a reference we also reward a research that gets cited and then at the end we could also do data analytics on all of these data not the 10 percent the top 10 percent storytelling. Now, if you allow researchers to publish negative contradictory confirmatory observation that's like tons of data which we anyways have. We don't have to do this. We anyways have it and this is something this would allow us to have much better analytics on the data that we that belongs to the narrative and so this is, this is roughly the idea that one could use blockchain in most of these cases and most of the, we use both off-chain and on-chain aspects to, to carry out the, the research cycle all the way from electronic lab notebooks to data analytics. So I thought I could, do you want to help me a little bit? Just to show me the prototype. I want to show you the prototype and then so instead of doing an ICO and then asking for money and then doing, writing just the white paper we thought we'll just pull our resources and start to create because we have science matters already start to create a prototype that would be useful for both researchers as well as if you're in the publishing industry one could use this to yeah go ahead there's no sound but it's just a minute that's fine great so you could start this is Metamask you could, you could log in and you write your own article then it gets hashed identifier and then it immediately goes to an editor you can involve the editor invites reviewers this is a functioning prototype that we have at the moment and the reviewer provides the review on the what you see is what you get templates so there's no reason to send out as an email or print out and etc you could do this you want to fully utilize the digitalization technology that we have available this is what it is you can write a review long side and then you could either annotate we use junior researchers we apply junior researchers to annotate but at the same time also I have senior researchers to provide big picture reviews and both of them and so you get rewarded in and instantly you get reward and that's the beauty of this peer-to-peer system in terms of fully utilizing this P2P transaction of anything that has research value and that's pretty much pretty much this thank you thank you I still need to thank my team so if you don't mind so that's the these are I showed you already these are the token flow in the system and it's it's up so there are several advisors and both for Eureka as well as Science Matters and Science Matters is a team of me as well as Tom Sudof who got the Nobel Prize a few years ago from Stanford and he and I created this platform in terms of the functioning protocol and the team behind Eureka is Thomas Bocek who created the P2P network he's a professor at the University of Zurich and now at the highest Hochschilder-Rapperswell and a fantastic team of researchers in Switzerland where Luca Spalloni he's the developer and severant and on the editorial side we have Jan Lottwal who is who's the editor-in-chief of the content management we have Isabelle Andrew Tamara TJ and several others in the team and we have pretty good support from universities as well as now the Swiss National Science Foundation we are having discussions whether we could we could use this for even research data management finally this is my end I grew up in Islam in India I want to tell you this I grew up without electricity today I'm here and the reason is I had free access to opportunities I had free access to education it is immoral to put barriers between humans and knowledge be it for access or to create knowledge thank you thank you thank you thank you very much Loi are there any question comments? yeah okay thank you for your Berlin presentation my question is how is this talking reward system working actually what is a participant rewarded for and how does this token which is as I see is more or less a symbolic or arbitrary thing is transforming to some kind of real-world monetary value so the token in terms of reward it happens at several levels one is that if you are a reviewer today you don't get any any pay you don't get any money from the publishers or anybody who asks to to review so immediately you get as soon as you provide valid review you immediately get some of these tokens as a reward at the same time if you are an author and you published a paper that gets reproduced by somebody whether they reproduce it in a confirmatory or a contradictory way that's that that again gets gets rewarded but as soon as your paper gets replicated these authors who replicate your paper get rewarded right whether they say it negative or positive because we need all of this data and so we don't punish but if the paper gets positively replicated then the original author also gets some of these tokens because that's we want to incentivize anything that can be replicated but we don't want to punish or penalize the author whose research cannot be replicated because we think punishing is not a good means to to incentivize de-incentivize and the third thing is that if you are an author and your paper gets cited you get rewarded so these are the token systems and the token ecosystem and if you are a funder you also get you can fund through tokens if you are a grand administrator you can fund through some of these tokens so you can you can buy Eureka tokens and you can give it to give it to your grantee do these tokens trade on the market what's their value or are they just nice little badges for honor the idea at the moment is not really to have a market value but at at some point it will be in the exchange so initially you want to making an internal market of scientific value that's right that's exactly the ecosystem is built in Eureka we create an ecosystem that would be helpful for the researcher so that the 10 billion dollar that we use for just publisher or 25 billion it goes back to research that's our goal we'll get into the crypto economy for Zines tomorrow yes and Zines publishing yes tomorrow and I'm very excited about both sure yeah yes I say I say one more quick comment question yes how do you build narratives with your system sorry how do you build narratives with your system you're talking about narratives so the as you saw as soon as the the nodes in the network becomes something like seven or eight an arbitrary number that contains extensions replications then we invite all these authors everyone contributed to what we call as matters narratives this is the separate section which is more of a review and I think every journal should be more of a review journal when they when there is a narrative where the single elements are reviewed and rated without the story context and only then we could assign validity to to the scientific data as opposed to getting biased because of the narrative so the matters narratives does not exist at the moment but if you could see this is in in the pipeline as soon as we have these elements let's say each each node is extended to seven or eight containing all these elements we will have matters and we think storytelling is a part of science story we don't science matters logo as stories can wait science can't so we don't say stories don't matter stories can wait so that science takes the takes the priority great yeah thank you thank you very much Lori
