We know that the fluid in our body is distributed in various compartments that is inside the cells known as the intracellular fluid and outside the cells which is extracellular fluid which is further divided into various compartments inside the blood vessels and the interstitial fluid. The interstitial fluid is the surrounding the fluid surrounding the cells and that inside the blood vessels is plasma. Now the distribution of body fluid in various compartments can be measured by applying principle of conservation of mass. It is a very simple principle, so suppose I have a known amount of a substance say mass M, if I mix it in a solvent with a known volume say V1, after mixing the concentration of the substance can be determined by a formula mass upon volume 1. Now if you mix it in another container which is having another volume say D2, the new concentration will be mass upon volume 2. Now since mass remains the same, if it is not being destroyed then the mass will remain the same. In that case we can write M is equal to M, so we know that M value can be calculated like C1 V1, C1 into V1 right, so here it will be we can write as C1 V1 is equal to C2 V2. So we already told that if we know the initial volume V1 right, we can determine C1 by this formula M by V1. Now suppose we do not know how much is V2, how can we determine the volume V2 by this principle of conservation of mass? What we do is that we can take out a sample of the solution and determine that concentration of the substance in this particular solution. So initially we already know C1, we already know V1 by determining the concentration in this new solution we will know C2, thus by solving this equation we can determine this unknown volume V2. This very principle we use for determination of distribution of body fluids but which volume would have be determined? Will it be total body water? Will it be intracellular fluid? Will it be ECF or within ECF it will be plasma or interstitial fluid? Now it depends where the substance can freely go. So what we are doing we are injecting the substance, the known concentration of a substance in a known volume into a vein by which it is going into the circulation right. If a substance can freely cross capillary membrane and also freely enter into the cells. That means after some time it would have been present in all body fluid compartments. That means such a substance will determine total body water. One such substance is radioactive water or heavy water. So for determining total body water we use heavy water because when we inject it it will go into all body fluid compartments and by determining the concentration back that is the C2 we will be able to determine the volume, new volume. Now if a substance can cross capillary membrane but cannot enter into the cells so it will remain in two compartments see in the blood vessel and in the interstitial fluid. So in this case we will be able to determine the extracellular fluid compartment. What substances are ions? So radioactive sodium ions chloride ions can be used to determine ECF compartment. Now if a substance remains only in blood vessel and cannot go here neither enter into the cells that means it is remaining only into the plasma. So after determining its concentration we will be able to determine the plasma volume. Radiolabelled albumin is used for this purpose because this protein is not able to cross the capillary membrane and enter into any other compartment. In summary we use principle of conservation of mass where M1 remains equal to M2 and if we know the known concentration of a substance in a known volume and we can determine the new concentration when the substance gets distributed in a new volume we will be able to determine the new volume and for this purpose substances used are based on which compartment they are able to go. So we saw that we can determine total body water by heavy water, heavy water is nothing but radiolabelled water. Then extracellular fluid compartment can be determined by radiolabelled ions and the plasma volume can be determined by radiolabelled albumin. How much is intracellular fluid that we have not determined? It is simple we can calculate intracellular fluid by subtracting extracellular fluid amount from total body water and similarly the amount of interstitial fluid we can determine by subtracting plasma from extracellular fluid volume. So this is the way how we determine the various body fluid compartments.


afternoon thanks for sticking around long enough. I am here to talk about a particular use case but a little bit more than that and the work I've been doing the last couple of years has been in the world of the information ecosystem and in particular the polluted part of it. Recently someone asked me what I what I was working on I said misinformation and he said oh on which side somebody who deep skepticism which I think is really valid about everything that we see in the world that we have to sort it out and we have to do it a whole lot better and journalists are a key constituency in making this better I hope that they will do it but not just through better journalism some other things. I want to make the case that an annotation as a tool for transparency is a fabulous tool but I want to give a little bit of background and also point out that people actually think that there's value in transparency they're more willing to pay for stuff. Journalists didn't realize that till some surveys came out. Part of it is journalism's traditions and norms which are pretty arrogant and top-down and always have been at least until recently and this notion that these are things you'll hear from journalists when you ask them about their work often. My favorite least favorite is our work speaks for itself. Well no I don't think that it really does. And what do we do about convincing journalists to change their ways? Well projects we're working on are actually helping and I'll get to that in a minute. I got to make do you reminder that misinformation is not new. We've been dealing with it for a long time and that what is new is this coalescing of technology, malign intent and scale and a whole bunch of things that were not the case before and that it spans a great variety of kinds of misinformation. I beg you here never to ever use the expression fake news. It's long in every possible way. Two in particular one is that by definition it's wrong and second is that people who lie all the time have taken it over to describe things they don't like that are often true so please don't use that. And if you follow this field at all you know that it's gonna get worse. The so-called deep fake phenomenon of having people saying things they didn't say it's gonna be a problem. And what the work that I've been doing for a while now involves not just thinking about how we upgrade journalism and information but how we upgrade ourselves on the demand side of information. The supply-demand equation requires us to have understanding on the demand side and we don't have a lot of that at the moment. One of the ways to get there is through what people call media and news literacy. My colleagues and I have come to favor an expression that came from the American Press Institute news fluency literacy having a kind of negative connotation for people outside of the Academy so we think of it that way. But it's really a combination. It's a whole bunch of literacies that we have to help people get better at and this is increasingly a holistic situation. For journalists one way to do this to help their communities be more news fluent news literate and to give them more tools to combat the misinformation that's just pouring over them all the time to understand better what's real what's not. By the way I'll make a copy of this available for everybody is that is transparency and there's evidence that it works and what is it it's these things that I've listed here and and other lots of things that involve techniques and practices that have not been part of the norm for journalism. One of our project partners is the McClatchy company which has 30 newsrooms around the country and we've been working on a bunch of experiments with we think some pretty great success and trying to make it go further. One example of the transparency is having the journalists explain how they did the journalism and this was a case where a reporter in Kansas City did something he had never done in his life which is to explain in a podcast and a story on a wonderful series he did and it's changing the culture and we think that's a wonderful thing and I've not yet gotten people to think of annotation as part of that except in some senses they're already doing it and I'll give you some examples in this case this is another McClatchy newsroom in Idaho the Idaho statesman did a long and involved and really quite good story on childcare in the community and McClatchy has built into their content management system this thing they call it the I forgot the title they've given it but it's a it's a transparency plug in they can answer questions about the journalism and they can move it anywhere they want in the story and they have deep metrics associated with this so they're figuring out what people will actually look at and thinking about using that in other ways this is an annotation method it's not the kind that hypothesis does particularly but it's really a breakthrough no another no other news organization I'm aware of is doing this and they're moving ahead on this project pretty quickly other news organizations have done transparency and annotation in other interesting ways this is actually pretty old from the New York Times basically they link from the footnote or the number one to their response to that point in a letter to the editor after a scathing piece they did on a local congressman and I would have liked to see that conversation go further let him respond to that or his staff and see where it goes but it was a good thing to do lots of things to use this for in including you know like you want to select out a really astonishing fact to say well here's why this is true usually there's attribution but not always the context you know going deeper on things the invitation for the audience the readers the listeners viewers to come back to the journalists with better information because one of my personal cliches when I was a journalist was that my reader knew more than I did and this was not like you know any kind of breakthrough concept it was just obvious they had to and there was great advantage for me the transparency is not the only use of annotation that I can think of and there's some really fun examples that people are doing this is from Josh Marshall who writes talking points memo political well he started as a blog it's now really robust media company and he takes an apple pen on so I forget the software on his iPad and mark stuff up this in this case Josh who is a scholar before he was a journalist is doing some of the college professor markup saying no God this is terrible stuff and it should embarrass the people who did it this is my personal favorite when the Republican House after not long after the Trump election passed a repeal of the Affordable Care Act Obamacare a bunch of middle-aged white men got together with Trump on the White House lawn to celebrate their passage of something it would destroy the Affordable Care Act and Josh goes in and he goes gets the data and says okay here's how many people in each of their districts is going to lose health insurance this is brilliant surfacing the data it's journalistic values enormous and it's in a weird way entertaining and there's no reason journalism has to be derived this is great stuff and more people should imitate it hypothesis works with climate feedback on interesting ways of understanding bad journalism boy there's a lot of bad science journals out there and of our other projects is involved in that there's another kind of annotation that's embedding metadata for transparency in the CMS in the data in it's the trust project it's fairly complicated process but we strongly believe that this is a good idea and that organizations that do this are going to have a real advantage by demonstrating that they are deserving of more trust than not no one's deserved complete trust but we different people deserve more than others another annotation form that I love in journalism is the cry on on cable news which I otherwise don't like because it's just people yelling at each other and generally in stupid ways but this is actually quite valuable to say no he didn't say that this is another one you notice I'm pointing to people who like to use the expression that I won't use and these there's value in this it's sort of instant corrections I think it's a mistake by the way to put people who lie on television in the first place I would ban anyone who's a known serial liar from my programs that would be my policy it would be fine people who want to defend the president but who don't lie maybe difficult but it's worth trying so I that's that would be you know if I become czar of journalism that's going to be one of the rules you don't give allowed speakers to water I've given you examples of things that are kind of read write or more so than not and I read only I think it read right is where we ought to go with it though it's hard and an example that I just posted on disappeared okay so these are things that I don't know if you can see them there they're not very prominent here but I added things that I think would be journalistically valuable to what I did the first one is it basically says you know why am I doing this is because I believe in free of expression okay that should give you context for why I'm writing this and then you know some other things that are context including down below where I say here's what they could do the platform companies to help on fixing misinformation and I've made a few a list of a few of them you know nope you know not much progress you know mixed at best and zero and then added one which I would love to see more often which is maybe you have other things that you'd like to see them do and why don't we thrash that through or just email whichever this is I think annotation like this in journalism would be highly useful recognizing that journalists a are in a business that is crumbling financially and have no time so everything we asked them to do they say well what do you what do you want me to not do that's that's a problem but I think it's worth asking and I think that the results are worth having I want to ask all of you for some help in the annotation community and this comes from a conversation with John Udel who knows more about this than anybody I know and he has suggested I truly love this idea of an evidence layer that would live in the journalism but that would be interoperable with other people's journalism so we're all pointing to the same source material and talking about that and we don't have to constantly reinvent wheels that building this into content management and to journalism would be astonishing and be such a service to journalism and of course the key thing is it's got to be easy don't we can't burden journalists with stuff journals are not technical for the most part but it would be great to have this evidence layer and I'm excited by the idea I I think it's obvious but I'll say anyway this is not just for journals any organization in the world at this point that wants to be trusted has to think about ways to do it because everyone's under attack at some level companies not just politicians not just journalists and we may be transparency is one of the ways I believe it is that they can add to trust from the rest of them so that's a quick look through some ideas I'm I really came here to listen more than talk and annotations one of those things that is absolutely dazzled me from the minute I saw it even that horrible thing that lived on the web back in the 1990s they that pissed off absolutely everybody third voice third voice yes and but the hat when I saw it I thought glad this is this is a really interesting idea they didn't do it right but I think you're all doing important work and and thanks for helping me learn questions or comments for Dan so this is not related to my day job like everything else I've talked about here but but politics news media is kind of a hobby of mine so I try to stay off top of it so this is fascinating to me in terms of the evidence layer that you were talking about how do you how would you foresee that not getting skewed in any particular direction and staying kind of pure evidence because if it's you know being you know curated by the general public it's easy for those kinds of things to go off track so how I mean would there be some sort of regulatory something or how would how would that even work in your imagination if I understand the basics of it I think John's better equipped to answer your question but I think this would be done by the journalists at many different organizations and it would you get into all kinds of fraught territory with who actually gets to be there is this a club of the you know all the usual suspects or do we invite people or not the traditional journalists and I would go for the latter but there's a governance issue but I think it's well worth the exploration and the work to do it right so you could bring in you know historians other scholars people who are I think domain experts would be among the best participants because journalists don't tend to be domain experts so I think there's rich opportunity for forgetting that to be at least useful and maybe crucial yes I found this really interesting especially your comment about how there's a lot of bad science journalism out there as someone who works at a science organization I feel like it's a really hard balance because you want science to get out into the general public and you want to get it out the right way that's really difficult this is a little bit more of a comment but at triple yes we have this initiative called SILINES the idea is that you're directed that you are connecting journalists with scientists and so that as you said an evidence layer almost being like an expert layer so that different experts could let could you know lay additional levels of information on there I know you know when I was working in student journalism at least I would have a I would interview a professor and then I would say what I think the professor said in an article and then the professor might email me and say hey you didn't quite get that right and then I might have to issue a correction or something like that that probably would never necessarily be seen or wouldn't it was taken out of context is hard to understand so I think the idea of an expert layer would be maybe a way to do that as well not just so journalists can comment because as you said time is limited and that sort of thing but yeah when I was complaining about science journalism I wasn't complaining as much about people who specialize in science as the fact that most science journalism is done by people who don't know much about science and one thing I would beg science journalists to do would be to pick this mantle up of helping their audiences understand how to read a piece of science journalism that that's part of their job I believe now I've not made any headway in doing that we we are working on another project that I mentioned to you is we don't think news literacy news fluency should be a subject by itself though it is we think it should be embedded into topic areas and the first place we're working on that is science and health where in the case of health being misinformed you know can hurt you in a really serious way as we're seeing with this new outbreak of measles so we we we have to work on these things together but again I think it's not totally nothing wrong with asking somebody who knows well did I get this right when I was a columnist on technology I used to call up people and say I'm reading you a section that's a little technical tell me if I'm right wasn't like I'm gonna read you your quotes and you you know edit me I'm saying tell me if I've got this right and not invariably but often enough to be important at any time any number over one or over zero is enough to be important they would say well you're you're close and how about this that's journalism that's not anything except that so I encourage that and I encourage non-specialists to do that a lot I didn't thanks for that do you think that so I wanted to kind of get your take on the difference between had supported media and subscription media or public media with respect to how they were report science news do you think that the there's different incentives to maybe be more sensational in the different categories and what can we do about that yeah I can't do anything about financial motives twisting the output I accept try to persuade people that's a terrible idea if it's gonna matter but you know we all see this every day you know yesterday coffee is really bad for you today it's actually going to save your life tomorrow it's somewhere in the middle and then you know a day two days after that coffee plus chocolate will save your life I mean get wine well wine I that one I have confirmation bias on that one on red wine is good for me that's the end of this discussion but take it for me I don't think it's this audience driven engagement driven will tend to be more sensational we keep in mind that tabloids have been far more successful financially since they've existed and then you know serious journalism and it was probably worse a century ago when first got us into a war with lies you know so far that hasn't happened now I think we have to ask everybody who's doing it to care more about the mission that they allegedly are in but a lot of people creating media they're in the mission purely to stir things up make money I can't do anything about them except to point out when they do it so it this is again why I'm proponent of the demand side being worked on at least as hard as trying to convince journalists and people doing quasi journalism to be responsible I think we have to be more responsible I just wanted to echo what you said about how the solution has to be easy in this in the climate of journalism as it has to exist now and so I wanted to make a pitch to you know people out there who are coders programmers data architects visionaries design architects whatever that we need help with our kind of management systems and so on and if we can make annotation or inputting data as part of the workflow they make it make it actually a way to it's that collecting that data in an organized fashion actually helps us and it saves this time in long run and then there's easy painless ways to have it flow through this is you know something I learned from Johnny Adele that that's gonna that's how it's gonna work you can't ask people to do the extra work like you said but if you know if the system could keep track of what websites I use while researching a story and you know or I could very easily keyword stuff and and then I could very easily see it at the end and and or it could recognize phrases that I picked up from where and so on and then and that that that's gonna happen at some point it's just what happened you know in five years what happened 50 but I hope what he said so I like many people in the room was very interested in the idea of the evidence layer and so my question was just more to learn a little bit about more about how you see that is that kind of like a cannon for journalism that we kind of have these different categories and as an example it's say that we collectively agree this is a matter of opinion that an egalitarian society a more egalitarian society is a happier society from the bottom to the top so then we as journalists like we're not gonna kind of spend time and spend space arguing for that we're just gonna kind of cite to that research and go on ahead and do that in separate categories or do you see it like a different way I was curious about how you conceptualize it I confess that I don't know that's why I put on that slide ask John I'd like to see people explore and I don't I don't like the idea that something becomes the all encyclopedia of citations I think the idea that people would if they're pointing to the same stuff then they can argue about and debate about the same thing whereas today we're not necessarily doing that and if it lives in a system where people can flag it for others and where others can flag inconsistencies or outright mistakes and things of that sort and I don't have a good analog to it I think the talk page on Wikipedia on any robust Wikipedia article gets out some of that where people thrash out the article which is bigger obviously annotation but but there's a there's a process of arriving at something that's in theory neutral and valuable and I think Wikipedia is one of the great achievements of our of our age however flawed it is my my personal page there has been wrong for five years and Jimmy's an old friend and he sort of laughs when I tell him I said well my problem but it's I'd still think it's one of the great resources and the fact that people can hash out the changes they want to do and site then go pointing to other things that evidence layer it's put into Wikipedia would be pretty astounding too where they that would save them a lot of time I'm I do I'm thinking of this and I think John would have adamant about this this this thing would be a great time saver for journalists who wanted to get stuff right that alone is valuable by any standard when I when I'm in newsrooms these days I realize how cushy my job used to be and how hard they work I want to tell you that people doing journalism especially local journalism the young people they are they care more about journalism than my colleagues used to care because they're doing incredibly hard so help them out yeah so just a quick fall to that do you see the evidence layer more as being a group of resources or pieces of data that we've kind of acknowledged as being fairly robust and then whatever analysis we make whether we agree whatever kind of determinations we make we can just refer back to a piece of data that we do have trust in yeah I think the key thing is we're referring to the same thing that this is going to go this is while you know interoperable in the best kind of way for the people using it and that at at the very least we're having conversations and citations from the same item and not just web pages and things but w3c spec of going deep in links that go to the fact level or the sentence level things like that this is the potential for this is just huge and it John's expressions for this is to break down silos you know way that's never been done before so that's one of the reasons I'm enamored of this because I'm always in favor of breaking down sorry if I'm not giving you a good technical answer because I don't know I completely understand and you're fully forgiven for that


Amaral Governor Daya Dury of Biosus State has aired the federal government to review its policy of using non-state actors in its effort to secure the country's maritime environment. Though we will express concern that the continued use of such unconventional security agents might cause greater security challenges in the near future, called for the strengthening of the Mandarin Navy to perform its constitutional responsibility. He made a call during a courtesy visit to him by the Chief of Naval Staff Vice-Admiral Immanuel Ogala at Government House in Yanigwa on Monday. We need our communities and the less we pay and the less our lives and children and these types of communities in the name of we are ready to move forward. And we are ready to move forward because we are not the person in charge of it. And I want to insist that the living of our life, the living of our life and exclusively that we do the support that we get in this way, non-state actors are not at the challenges. We are looking through these levels of services in the maritime environment, talking about fishing use and services, talking about how to show all of that trust that the military is in the maritime environment. Now the protection of these actors, and part of the primary respect of the Navy and the Army, has done that through our best to set an example of how to defend about fresh news updates.


On day 37, we have a new dashboard coming this Tuesday. What happens if it doesn't launch on Tuesday? Well, we have a few developers that you get to punish because they promised it will be out this Tuesday in beta. You hear that developer, guys? We're having a little fun because the dashboard 2.0 is a little overdue and this will motivate them because you will get to punish them if this Tuesday, September 30th, it does not launch in beta. And we have a new winner, a bodacious winner, on this $100,000 sponsorship for small channels powered by Freedom. Let's go. Let's talk about the new dashboard. The current dashboard at www.freedom.tm slash dashboard will be retired in exchange for the new dashboard once it exits beta. The new dashboard is written in Node with a very strong back end in MongoDB and MySQL. The current dashboard is built in PHP on the Laravel framework. It's using Amazon auto scaling clusters. So that means when a ton of you come to the dashboard and we start experiencing server load, Amazon automatically spins up new servers to handle the load. So there's no downtime. The new dashboard will, of course, incorporate that plus a lot of other methods to auto scale so that we can get to a million simultaneous users and not go down. The new dashboard is coming in beta this Tuesday, September 30th, where all of you will get to sign in, try it out. It's got a brand new interface. No page refreshes. It's like Gmail. You guys know Gmail? If you click anything, it just updates that part of the screen? Well, that's exactly what the new dashboard is going to do. It'll also be on a new domain. It'll no longer be at www.freedom.tm slash dashboard. It'll be somewhere else. All of that is going to get announced this Tuesday, or you get to punish the developers. Which would you prefer? Today's winner is Bodacious Bro's Gaming. Look behind me. He has helped so many people since the beginning of the sponsorship. And in one of his comments, he's criticized us for missing a few good people who helped a lot of people, like GigiGamers and that gaming guy. If there are any others that you feel we've overlooked, tell us down there in the comments below. We do read everything, but we can't reply to everything. To claim your prize of one of these five prizes, Bodacious Bro's Gaming, all you have to do is click this video and watch the steps you need to follow to claim your prize. Guys, this is day 37 of 365 days for this sponsorship. We haven't even got started. This is just a little bit over 10% of the way there. And we are just warming up, figuring out how to do this better. Tell us in the comments below on how we can improve the selection process, what kinds of things you want us to look for when we pick winners, and how we can help everybody grow together more effectively.

So there have been times where I've kind of shifted timelines or jumped into different realities it seems and I want to talk about my experiences in this video because it's kind of strange and before I really get into this I want to make it very clear that I don't know all the answers. I don't know exactly how or why any of this stuff happens or works and I'm just kind of experiencing and exploring this much the same as you are. You know I'm just kind of researching myself as well and all I can do is share my experiences and how it feels. Same with lucid dreaming, same with anything really. I mean no one can really call themselves a master of something really because there's always more to learn. There's always more things, there are always more aspects to things you know deeper levels that you could go to. That being said here's my experiences with like timeline shifts or jumps or things. When when reality doesn't quite feel completely normal so I'll explain what I mean let's just get into it. By the way subscribe if you like this stuff and leave a comment also letting me know your experiences. I will try and read them out actually. So one experience that I have fairly often we're all familiar with things like deja vu where you feel like you've been in this situation before. It feels familiar even though it's not familiar. There's no way you could possibly have been in that exact moment before and yet when you're in the moment you simply know that you've been here before. This is it feels the same as a memory and sometimes you can even remember what's about to happen in a deja vu experience. So and I've had this a couple of times as well and it's not with profound things. I can't control when it happens but there have been many times where I've had a deja vu and I've thought oh yeah this this happened before and what's going to happen next is this and it'll be some mundane detail right something completely irrelevant that it doesn't really it doesn't really matter whether whether I got it right or not. So it's not like you can predict the lottery or do anything really crazy with the stuff but it's just interesting. It would be like an example would be let's say I had deja vu walking down the street and I said to the person I'm with I said I've been here before this is deja vu. So what's going to happen next is there'll be a green car that will come from that street and it will go over there and then it will like beep it's horn for example. Something like mundane doesn't really matter if it happens or not but it but it does happen and that's the interesting point is that sometimes my my deja vu experiences obviously I have them quite often and then I'll remember some detail of something that's about to happen. Something that's not happened yet I say the detail or think the detail I don't always say it out loud or sometimes I'm on my own so I wouldn't say it anyway and then that thing that I remembered happening before it happened actually happens very trippy very unusual and the only explanation I can think of from the research I've done so far is that it's some kind of quantum echo because in the quantum realm time is non-linear so everything kind of happens simultaneously and everything is happening in the same present moment in the eternal present moment so what I think is happening with deja vu is we're getting an echo of a memory from something that's not happened yet in our perception but it has happened or it is happening in the eternal present moment so by having this kind of and I'm not able to control this at least not yet I wish I could it's completely random deja vu it was completely random for me but that's how I think it works I also don't think with things like deja vu and these echoes of the of the of these memories that we have I don't think we need to know how they work I don't really believe personally that it's as important as it seems it's certainly interesting right it's definitely interesting when it happens to you and I'm sure most people I would say most people actually have had an experience of deja vu you know it's fairly common at least most of the people I've spoken to they all they've all had an experience of deja vu maybe one once or twice some more than others I don't know exactly why it happens but I don't think it's super important that we need to know I just think it's an like a kind of a hint a glimpse into reality a kind of a clue that reality does not work the way that we think it does I think time specifically is it works vastly different to how we think it works and I think that through different techniques and methods we are able to kind of change this more you know have more control and influence over this and over the reality that we manifest that we create now that I do know a lot about the idea of creating or manifesting a reality based on your intentions and conscious focus that I can go on into detail about but that's and I do talk about that in other videos I do actually have a program called a superhuman program which is soon to be renamed but the premise is the same and that's going to show you how to manifest abundance in your life so if you are interested in that there's going to be some kind of free training I'll put the link in the description but check that out and then in terms of timelines so this is a really interesting thing there's a guy called John Macaffe or something like that Macaffe he is dead now but when he was alive he gave this interview with this guy and supposedly what happened is he had like a a six shooter a revolver this guy John right and he would spin the chamber and keep pulling the trigger like you know like Russian roulette that kind of stuff he would pull the trigger and each time the reporter would say like trying would be kind of freaked out and say like what are you doing you know what you're doing and and John would say well you simply don't understand the way that reality works because what actually happens is to do with quantum immortality right the idea that in every moment there are different timelines in which different things happen so in some timelines there's a situation where he pulled the trigger and it did kill him but in this timeline the one that the interview was happening in it would always be beyond the horizon so that those events would have already happened and his consciousness would have collapsed into the nearest possible timeline which was the one where it didn't happen I'm probably explaining this really badly but and I don't know specifically if that interview is actually real it's just what I've heard from various podcast interviews that reference it it's quite well spoken about so it sounds real but even if it's not it's a very interesting concept the idea of quantum immortality that our consciousness is immortal and our point of awareness so the point where we're focusing it is what we consider to be reality but actually our consciousness is infinite so we exist in these infinite different timelines and this is where the idea of the multiverse comes from the idea that we have there are these multiple infinite timelines and each one contains an echo or a copy of our consciousness copies a bad word because copy implies that there's an original and that the copy is kind of like a bad duplicate version of it what I think would be more accurate would be to say that there's probably infinite versions of our consciousness each one thinking that it's the real one but in reality they're all as real as each other having different experiences anyway let me know what you think in the comments and check out if you want to learn more about manifestation creating wealth and abundance and manifesting the life that you want you know like your dream life basically then I do have a program a free training about that you can check the link in the description I'll see you next time


بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالمين الحمد لله الذي أنزل الفرقان على عبده ليكون للعالمين نذيرة والصلاة والسلام على خير خلق ونور عرش أفضل الأنبياء والمرسلين حبيبنا وسيدنا وسندنا وشفيعنا ومولانا أبل قاسم محمد صلوات الله محمد والمحمد وعلى آله التيبين الطاهرين المأسمين المظرمين أما بعد فقد قال الله سبحانه وتعالى في جتاب المجيد وقوله الحق وهو أستق الصادقين بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم يأيه الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله والتنظر نفس ما قدمت لغد اتقوا الله إن الله خبير بما تعملون ولا تكونوا كالذين نصل الله فأنساهم أنفسهم وليك هم الفاسقون صدق الله العلي العظيم صلوات الله محمد وآله المحمد الله صلوات الله محمد وعلى آله التيبين الطاهرين المأسمين سبحانه وتعالى all praise belongs to Allah and I begin in His blessed name for granting us this life and this existence and the ability to recognize His infinite mercy and to consider us as His representatives on earth to promote good and forbid evil and to be the flag bearers of justice and equity on earth and I bid you my respected Sheikh Jaffa my respected sisters and brothers in Islam السلام عليكم جميعا ورحمة الله وبركاته as we continue on these nights of Ashura as you know that the event of Ashura took place on the 10th day of Muharram which is why it's called Ashura and of course we prepare ourselves and discuss those moments upon which we try to reflect as to why this event has taken place and what the message behind this event is and hopefully we can take lessons from them so that we can apply them upon ourselves to better ourselves and as you know it culminates till the 10th of Ashura so these companions that we speak about who became martyred all became martyred on that same day unless of course it happened especially like مسلم النقيل which happened in Dhul-Hajja otherwise you will notice that the companions of Karbala all became martyred on that same day within a few hours but of course for the sake of brevity because we have no time we need to discuss these personalities and there were many as we know we hear the 72 but actually there were more than 72 there were over 100 who became martyred in Karbala and historians say at least 16 soldiers from Yazeed's army absconded their positions and ran away and joined the army of Imam Hussein عليه السلام 16 interestingly in history not a single one on Imam Hussein عليه السلام's side left to go to Yazeed's army not a single one though they knew they were going to be butchered and annihilated physically but nonetheless not a single one left that's proof positive to show that when our blessed Imam Hussein عليه السلام stated that my companions are the finest in the world undoubtedly that is so true for he selected them he chose them and he welcomed them because they were the only ones who were capable of truly holding the banner of justice and equity for humanity so these companions that we speak about and tonight I will speak of some of these companions particularly two of them one his name is Anas Ibn Harif Asadi as you know he was a companion of the Holy Prophet so these were old men and Muslim Ibn Awsaja Al-Asadi he was also from the Banu Asad tribe he was also a companion of the Holy Prophet Muslim Ibn Awsaja as you know was also a memorizer of the Quran and he was in his 70s and Anas Ibn Harif some say was well in his 90s quite old what's beautiful about Karbala is the fact that not a single age group has been left out in remembering the tragedy of Karbala not a single group young and old not short rich and poor every strata as we say of the society has been represented in Karbala women children adults everybody dark skin brown skin light skin everyone was there people from various faiths as I mentioned the other day and you find that he was present and people of all faiths and backgrounds were in that army there were owners of servants and servants themselves everyone was present in that so we have to ask the question who are these people and why were they there and why is it that nowhere in the annals of history do you find such representation across the board that is purely representing the moral argument for the promotion of good and the demotion of evil that's the only reason they were there not a single one was there to guard their property in fact they were giving it away you see they gave everything for themselves you know for the sake of Allah everything we amwalim وامفسهم في سبيل الله when Allah says they struggle وجاهدوا باموالهم with their wealth وامفسهم with their selves for the sake of Allah as we say ونصكي ومحياية ومماتي لله رب العالمين ونصالاتي my prayer my sacrifice for Allah how do we reach that stage these conversations are very important for us so that we understand that it is because of Allah we exist it is because of Allah we persist and it is because of Allah we benefit and we will return to Him please understand that when Allah says بالذكر الله it is the remembrance of Allah it starts down this does not mean you sit in the corner and do tasfi all day this is not what Allah means when Allah says ذكر الله doesn't mean that it includes that but it doesn't exclusively mean that ذكر الله is every breath you take every transaction every relationship every sentence we utter every pleasure point we have every sad moment we have when hearts become tranquil we are living in a world today where society is very confused as you know and I will talk about this and I know some of you may not like what I am going to say but truth is essential and I think we need to face it I know that within some cultures we are addicted to certain substances by which we find to be an instrument of social social relations such as شي شا أرغيلي you will notice is actually a hundred times more deleterious more dangerous than cigarettes now cigarettes are bad even cigarette companies like R.J. Reynolds and Philip Morris all agree unanimously that if they were to expose the true dangers of such such substances they would go bankrupt but they are very smart what they do is they any society that's litigating such as the United States where lawsuits can easily be placed upon them they protect themselves by financing anti-smoking ads so that should they ever go to court they will present an argument that look we were conscientious and conscious as a company that we warned them and even the surgeon general say smoking is bad for you on the box interesting when you read a box when you buy a product a food it says don't eat this this is poison for you would you buy it? no but cigarettes we do it's weird something wrong with the human race but we find that our addiction is so strong in that direction for what? oh it calms me down it makes me think better it takes me in the right direction think about it when Allah says ذكر الله meditation cogitation reflection is better for you than all these outside substances that are dangerous harmful they harm our environment today you find that global warming by some foolish people they call it a fake issue they call it you know it's false when it is so true that we're finding unprecedented storms and unprecedented melting of the Arctic zones that will flood the world people don't realize these are all blessings of Allah and we're destroying our environment thinking there's nothing wrong with it the hydro carbons that we produce in societies today that are so dangerous and deleterious when we are intelligent enough to have EV cars you know electric cars which insha'Allah soon will come about and thank God for that but what we find is in the process we're highly destructive and causing destruction in our nature killing animals just because of some issue we're killing elephants, we're killing lions we're killing all kinds of creatures to find some substance from them because they're going into these jungles and killing and destroying and causing their extinction with no regard that Allah has placed all of this as a gift upon mankind and we need to be conscious about it but why are we so reckless with it why are we so careless with it it's because we've lost our ways we've become apathetic and we are confused and we're therefore angry and anger leads to self-destruction I remember a girl who was asked that question do you do drugs in the United States it was on television do you do drugs and this girl an American girl Caucasian girl gave one of the best answers I've ever heard with wisdom she said I haven't gotten angry enough to start it brilliant answer I have not gotten angry enough meaning many a times children and adults who indulge in such opioids and self-destructive behavior it's because they've lost hope and hence it leads to anger it leads to loss of faith because I don't have anything else now it's like I'm free falling and there's nothing I can hold on to so why not just self-destruct when Allah has honored us as I mentioned yesterday God says we have made you special we have chosen you among all creations brothers and sisters we failed to understand the basic realities and this is why we're there and I want to talk about this today because Allah is going to question us on judgment day then he's going to question us that what did you do with my gifts that I gave you did you abuse them رسالة الحقوب if you read by Imam Zendr عبدين عليه السلام Imam describes everything has a right the floor has a right trees have a right animals have a right atoms have a right our skin has a right our eyes have a right there is not an object not a substance in this universe that does not demand its own right just like you and I as human beings have our right but when we violate those rights then Allah will question us on judgment day that I endowed you with so much what did you do with it now why do we become self-destructive I believe when we are misinformed misaligned when we lack understanding we're confused it's like being lost in a jungle and your GPS is not working it's a very very precarious state of existence if you ever get lost somewhere and you don't know which direction to go it's a very uncomfortable feeling even when the earth shakes it's a very uncomfortable feeling I experienced it in the Philippines I was on the top floor of a hotel in Manila and the earthquake was taking place and my whole room was moving literally 4-5 feet like a ship you know like I was literally on the seas and I knew I had to leave the room but I was thinking should I take my passport should I take my things do I have enough time do I take the elevator do I take the stairs because I'm on the top floor those few minutes were so full of trepidation when Allah said we have created mankind the state of trepidation uncertainty slippery you can never guarantee anything somebody promises you something that doesn't mean they will deliver it there is no such thing as stability with humanity or with nature per se anything could happen the earth can crack and throw you down the building you're in can collapse there is no guarantee there is only one guarantee which is Allah and we return to Him that is guaranteed you and I can do to change that and I remember I walked away and I took the elevator I felt calm when Allah says when the earth shakes and for the first time I experienced it realizing oh my God how blessed we are to be within stable foundations and Allah says I have made you in a state of trepidation you can do with it now if you lose hope in it you become angry you lose hope and you find people are very irritated you find when you drive on the roads people have road rage even if you get near them if you don't give the signal they get angry they're blowing their horn at you people are full of anger here one time I arrived at 2 o'clock in the morning I went to look for something to eat I said okay at 2 o'clock in the morning why are you blowing the horn at me like nothing but anger full of anger rage find a reason to vent and if there's somebody who can punch or somebody who can scream at or some explicative you can use by which to vent vent vent vent we forget that that venting leads to negative reaction what goes around comes around when we're venting others will start venting too and before you know it we have chaos and next thing you know we're killing each other and then we're realizing why we're doing this when Allah says I have your stability فأقم وجهك للدين حنيفا فترة الله التي فترة الناس عليها لا تبديل لخلق الله ذلك الدين القيام maintain your faces upright فأقم وجهك للدين حنيفا فترة الله التي it's a system of God عليها in which he is placed upon mankind into you and God doesn't change his system لا تبديل لخلق الله ذلك الدين القيام this is the upright religion the uprightness that we must focus and figure out where our problems are when I study the world's movements today in the United States depression has increased by 30% suicide has increased that much more people are killing themselves in the United States then they're getting killed think about it including our children why? these smartphones have become a means to depression research shows anything over two hours of social interaction leads to depression why? you might think that I'm connected with the world yes but it's a different kind of world it's a make-believe world many a times you don't have to face the facts in the cyber world I've seen kids come to camp they don't even know how to shake my hands they're looking like you think they're like semi-autistic or something but then you listen to them socially oh chatter away my God opinionated Mr. Fancy Schmancy so I look at them and I said what is this with you? bipolar? like why are you this way but there you that way well there I can hide under this garb so they live two lives multiple personality syndromes you know like we're believing that we are two different creatures and then we can't face the facts so we live in cyber world now we live in virtual worlds and our entire fantasies in virtual worlds where we can control kids who are addicted to gaming I had one boy who came to me last year in the lecture he sat there he said this is the first time I've come to listen to a lecture so what have you been doing? he says I'm busy playing games I said all day he says yeah 18 hours a day I mean you could tell I said why do you do this? he says what else is there to do? I said can I give you a word of advice? he said yes I said I think you've lost control I think you calculated life and you felt there's no hope he's looking at me 16 year old boy smart he said what do you mean? I said I think you've calculated loss of control in life and that joystick gives you control and you're so in love with the joystick it gives you power is that true? he said I never thought of it that way but you might be right I said my advice to you is get out of that joystick leave your cocoon and get out of that cave and start facing facts for when you meet people it's a beautiful relationship researchers say one of the best things you can ever do is say hello to a stranger you know how you succeed in life say hello to a stranger you might think what? succeed in life? that's right just say hello to a stranger you'd be surprised who you will meet and that person may open up your life in a thousand ways if you ever study people who are very successful you ask them how did you get here? how did you know Mr. X and Mr. Y and Mrs. X and Mrs. Y? oh I said hello to that one and that one opened up and then the next thing the conversation started and we started sharing relationships and before you know it I was partied to this growth many a times we live in cocoons we don't even leave our own little world so when our young children are depressed it's what we call symptomatic in the sense that there's something missing and that's why the child is there it's not because this thing is so attractive that it has absolutely eclipsed everything else no it's interesting you go to restaurants I see it sometimes you see mom, dad everybody mom, dad everybody's on this on a dinner table it's interesting five people sitting they're all on this that's an indicator something's wrong with this family like why would you be on a phone people say like if you're not on the phone you're weird right I mean you're sitting on a dinner table look at each other smile and say what happened today what happened at school today look at them in the eye no I'm in my little world you know I have kids who say I say what are you doing I'm talking to my dad I said this is across the table I know I said why don't you say hello to him I can't and my dad cannot say hello to me it's only through this medium I said we have a serious problem صلاة الله بحمد و المحمد today we're living in a world where we're chasing so many dreams it's good to chase dreams there's nothing wrong to chase dreams it's nothing wrong to be ambitious it's good to want to conquer the universe do it Allah says but do it properly do it in the right ways don't lose you know your connection with Allah you and I are created humans think about it look around us there are all kinds of creatures there are so many creatures in the world we cannot count them if you go into the sea today our measurements of what lies under the sea is probably only 20% of what we actually know what the ocean holds جاكو ستوسفن his entire life he said I know only a few percentage points of what lies in this great ocean it's so great that's just the ocean on earth what about space what about the planets out there what about the creations out there but let's examine the creations on earth today we see quadruplets, bipeds we see creatures that are on their bellies Quran mentions them but you and I are humans we're supine homo sapien sapien intelligent with speech we have the power to control our environment we take creatures and use them to our benefits think about it that's how powerful we are as a creation and Allah says I made you that way I enabled you this now let me ask us a question what did we do when we were nothing to ask God to make us humans because you and I could have been born donkeys we could have been born horses we could have been born dogs pigs snakes atoms something trees but we're not any of the above we're humans who chose us as humans who decided to make me higher in the stage of creations Allah says I did I chose you subhan Allah isn't that enough I don't need to talk further isn't that enough proof against us should we be self-destructive isn't that enough I ask anybody in this room isn't that enough that I could have been born a cow waiting to be slaughtered after I was milked think about it when you look at that cow it's a mercy of Allah it's incredibly a merciful creation Allah says but I made you better than this one this one is subservient to you how dare you cause trouble on earth ذهر الفصاد في البر و البحر بما كثبت ايدي الناس by the hands of mankind you're creating fit mind فصاد Allah says how when I chose you human I could have made you a donkey and all day you would have been carrying things on your back for nothing although donkeys are a beautiful creation let's not underestimate them but Allah says I made you better than them لقد خلقنا الإنسان في أحسن تقويم ثم رددناه أسفلا صافلين we made mankind in the best of form then we load them to the lowest of the low why because when human beings refuse to admit and accept this mercy this unwarranted mercy undeserving mercy you and I have received mercy that none of us on this earth deserve don't you and I dare say I deserve to be human by what standard do you and I deserve by what quality do you and I deserve to be humans please answer me I want us all to think about this if anybody's got an answer talk to me after this lecture I'm curious to know because it's absurdly ridiculously logical isn't it but Allah says I created you I shaped you I made you unique even your fingerprint is unique that even if you're identical twins and you share identical DNA matter yet your fingerprints are different and if you look at the biometrics of a human being their eyes all of their factors put together makes you so unique you are one of a kind in the universe isn't that incredible Allah says I shaped you this way I shaped you this way Allah says I shaped you this way I gave you this endowment I gave you ألم نجعله عينين وليسان وشفاتين وحديناه نجدين did we not give you two eyes عينين وليسان tongue شفاتين two lips and guide you to the path are you not happy with this this is the conversation when I see people smoking then what makes me most we've lost hope in this humanity that God you made me human I'm not happy let me poison myself does that make sense if I ask a child this question you know what makes me really sad is when we as adults are reckless in our behavior and then we become role models for our young generations who consider it cool to be smoking this trash smoking weed people come to me say it's medicinal brother it's medicinal ماذا تعلم about medicine? Where's medicinal? Like spinning is that, I'm medicinal. Really. I said you know what tetrahydro cannabinole is? It's an alcohol that causes your brain to shrink. And it leads you to psychosis. Did you know that? You know they've legalized marijuana in the United States. Wait another 20 years and see. We'll have zombies walking around all over America. Because when this stuff is legalized And everybody's taking it over the counter And you got this multi-billion dollar business starting now And they've liquefied it now of course Different grades, different colors too. We're so sophisticated these days. You know, got all kinds of designer stuff too. It's amazing. We're not, it's not enough. Just give me something. Take me to cloud nine. الله says I love you. I'll take you to cloud nine. And you'll be eternally happy. الله I like this substance.  It's so cool. You know in our high schools how many kids do that? 80% of our kids are smoking weed today. 80%? Why? Is it because weed is just so delicious It's more delicious than bananas and you know Apples and it's just amazing. It's the greatest thing in the world. Every morning that's all you want. It stinks. Has a disgusting smell.  Yeah, but brother, I need it. For what? But it calms me down. I said, let me tell you something. You know, we've got physicians who get licensed And then they are licensed to prescribe this stuff. Now you've got cocaine. We've got morphine. Oh, it's not enough. It sort of takes me to cloud 4, you see. I need to go to cloud 12. Oh, fentanyl. That's what you need. Fentanyl. It'll take you right to cloud 12. Yeah, you take one extra drop of it. A milligram and you're dead. People are falling like flies today. Like flies. Fentanyl. Like tens of thousands of people are dying every single day. With fentanyl. People are buying cocaine. It's laced with fentanyl. And I'm thinking, what is wrong with humanity? Are we that deprived? Are we in such a bad state? Maybe if you're in prison And maybe you're getting whipped every day And you've got no hope And you're being tortured every hour Maybe you need some palliative care Which is where fentanyl is Fentanyl is a palliative drug It's an opioid designed to remove your pain Healthy sister, what's wrong with you? Oh brother, too many problems Can't handle it My husband doesn't love me My dad is always fighting with me We were supposed to be richer than our neighbors We just couldn't get them Mercedes It's a big problem I can't stand this Why did God even create me? You know what's hell?  The one who insists on not being happy to be human People like Yazid and Muawiyah Were not happy to be human Not happy Iblis is not happy to receive the grace So Allah lowers him to the lowest of the law That's why Allah says لقد حلقنا الإنسان في أحساني تقوى So Allah lowers him to the lowest of the law لقد حلقنا الإنسان في أحساني تقوى ثم رددناه Then we lower you You know why?  I will give that to you You want to enter the lowest levels of hell?  I use the example Of vindictiveness as follows I heard it from somebody It's brilliant Just take a half filled bottle Of water Even an empty bottle Hold it like this I ask you Is it heavy? Said no, no, no Not heavy I can hold it 24 hours later No, it's okay I can still hold it 2 hours later It starts going down 3 hours later Like this But you keep doing this 24 hours later It's really hurting This bottle is vindiction I'm carrying something Somebody did yesterday And I can't let go And my body is trembling It doesn't move It's going into paralysis But I can't let go Of that bottle Did you get it?  You're asking for God's mercy When you should be forgiving When you should be loving And when you should be caring And sharing And giving And forgiving No I'm angry Why did this person do this to me? Why? I'm entitled The universe is for me Really? Alhamdulillah It is for you But you are the universe That's what you forgot So the verse I started In سلطة الحشر Allah beautifully says يَاَيُّا الَّذِينَ آَامَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهُ وَالْتَمْذُرْ نَفْسُنْ مَا قَدَّمَتْ لِغَدْتْ All you who believe Be careful of your duty to Allah And let every soul consider What it has sent on for tomorrow And be careful of your duty Surely Allah is aware Of what you do The second verse وَلَا تَقُونُكَ الَّذِينَا نَسُوا اللَّهُ And be not like those Who forsook Allah So he made them forsake themselves When you and I are indulgent in haram And we are poisoning our bodies We have forsaken Allah And therefore Allah says I forsake you And when you forsake yourself You become destructive Now you kill yourself And the sad thing that I mentioned In Allah says here It is who are the فاسقين Who are the فاسقون Transgressors People who put themselves in a state of peril فاسقاء in Arabic Is when you put yourself in danger Why?  It's because of this They were so majestic in their character They had the sublime nature By which the inner qualities came out Why? Because they consciously examined The inner souls You and I must examine our inner souls How often do you and I meditate? You know in our school in Michigan at wise For the first 10 minutes All our students have to meditate They meditate They introspect And if you have ever done guided meditation It's amazing When we talk about intelligence There's one thing to call emotional intelligence You might think IQ Because of the real reason lies Intelligence quotient is the intelligence level Of being able to see things in a rational way People with very high IQs Don't necessarily succeed in life In fact some of them fail Though they score the highest scores in school They don't succeed Because there's a whole dimension Of social transactions That are essential to complete a human being And perceptions are what drives us Researchers have studied That human beings first 6 years upon birth Is entirely emotional You know when you speak to a child who's 5 years old And you're being rational with them You must not do A because of B Because of C They have no idea that they're smiling Yeah okay Sure Whatever mom Sure They're not understanding They're seeing you smile They're seeing your body language They're sensing your energy That's all they're doing They're being highly emotional Children are not logical or rational This is why when we listen to the Hadith Of the Rasool Allah SAW SAW You find he said Every human being has 3 stages First 7 years Second 7 years And the third 7 years First 7 years Your child is a prince Or a princess And the third 7 years Your child is like a servant Or obeying your commands And the third 7 years Your child is your advisor These are not Haphazad conversations Harvard has done studies Top universities in the world Including Stanford Did studies on these matters Where they found out That this is brilliant This is exactly what the prophet has stated Stanford did a study Just exposing the power of patience Patience You know the professors who come to Stanford Used to bring their children To this nursery So they decided to conduct research Many years ago And it was a profound research To show you When Allah says إن الله مع الصابرين فبشر الصابرين اللذين إذا أصاباتهم Give good news to the patient one Not talking randomly He created us He knows us So they took these kids At Stanford And told them That we want to give you a marshmallow Kids love marshmallows But if you wait 10 minutes The person says I'm just going to go outside And do a quick errand When I come back If you can wait I'll give you two marshmallows Simple isn't it? Simple So one group of kids says No no no no I'm not waiting I want my marshmallow now We are like that Many of our kids Mom, if you don't give me my iPhone Right now I'm going to stop breathing I'm going to scream Please don't scream please I'll be embarrassed Now It's the now generation Highly impulsive You see that And then it leads us To become compulsive So those kids Said I want the marshmallow Then a group of them Said no For two marshmallows We will wait Now you know For a five year old Ten minutes is like eternity They bite the nails Like marshmallow When is this marshmallow Oh my Ten minutes Guy goes outside Come back ten minutes later Gives these kids two marshmallows They follow these kids Till teenage Till late teenage Till the twenties And all the kids Who asked for marshmallows Immediately Were flunkies Depressed Into drugs Lost Out of focus And all the kids who waited Were successful Focused Planning their future Just a little explanation Of a child's ability To sustain ten minutes Of patience By which to get marshmallows Is indicative Of what you and I really are So when Allah says والتنظر نفسهم ما قدمت لغاد Take care of yourselves For you are the universe You might think Outside is your universe It's peripheral to your universe So please understand Brothers and sisters On that day Allah says يوم لا ينفع مالون ولا بنون إلا من أطل الله بقلب سليم On that day لا ينفع مالون Your wealth ولا بنون No, your family will help you Look at us today We're all Charging to build our empire On this earth I need my fancy car And my fancy watch And my fancy house And if I don't have it Machiavellian style I'll cheat and I'll lie And I'll be a crooked And I'll say ألرار And then I'm going to cheat you حج I went to Hajj Oh good you're Hajj You're honest Here's my thousand dollars Good Run away with it Because you hide under that Why? Did Allah say to do that?

Well, down in class 2A, the reigning state champs, Rozo, they're also back at the barn and looking to defend their title. The Rams playing their best ball of the season, winning 18 of 19, once the new year hit where they keep things rolling down south. They get the night cap against Tracy Milroy-Ballatin. Rams got in the hole early, but here they come, Casey Barovic rebound put back. That cuts into the deficit then later. Barovic gets the pass and finishes the bunny. Rozo battling back, then they finally take the lead later. Julia Bratton buries the triple, top of the key, 19-17, they lead. Tracy though goes on a rumba right before the break. Nice passing to Michaela, Christensen for two. They're down by five at the intermission. They got down by as many as 14 in the second, but Casey, Katie Barovic for three here. They're not done yet. They come all the way back again. Maya Hieu sticks with it, gets it to go on the foul to take the lead. What a rally for the defending champs in the second half. They go on to win 62-56, they're on the semifinals Friday night. If you enjoyed this segment of Lakeland News, please consider making a tax deductible contribution to Lakeland PBS.


Hello friends, welcome back to another episode here on the channel. I hope you're all doing great and for anyone new to the channel, as always, my name is Lee, also known as Osiris. In today's episode, we are continuing on with our VGC Series 10 content and we have a treat for you today. We've got another rental code team and it is from Marcel there. Obviously, the online handle Maja has provided the rental team kindly reached out to me over Discord with the team. And honestly, as soon as I saw it, I looked fire. It's got some really niche picks on it and some things that I'm really happy to be able to feature finally on the channel. We haven't really had a chance to do so yet. So big shout out to Marcel for the team and I hopefully you guys enjoy it. Obviously, here is the rental for the team and just to go over, we've got the big star of the show. It's going to be Resuram kind of the main Pokemon here going with the Assault Fest on it and nice option. I think on Resuram gives it a lot of stability in the format. The next important member is obviously the talk call. It's a really nice combination with the Resuram bringing the sun and it also helps out against Kyogre as well. You know, with that drought ability overriding the drizzle makes it a little bit more difficult for those Ogre teams to kind of get the momentum that they normally do quite early on in the games. Eruption, Earth Power, clear smogs are really nice answer to things like Zernius that do like to set up. And again, if you are stuck in a trick room, the talk call can do an amazing job. It's got the live pod with the prankster ability focus that's just giving it a little bit more staying power on the field and works so nicely with something like, well, pretty much most things on the team, you know, with fake tears, supports Suikun, supports Zapdos, supports the Resuram mainly and then you got Sunny Day as well just for that further disruption and solidity to get your weather on the field when you want and foul play is a really nice way of attacking with that star boost as well based off the opposing Pokemon's attack. And then you got Zapdos with the Rocky helmet. We have featured Zapdos. This one has got the weather ball. I think a really nice option in this format, especially when you've got the support and cast that you've got a lot of sun on the team, you can take advantage of that weather ball and then hit zashing and things like that fire week Pokemon for really super effective damage. The Rocky helmets are great item on Zapdos all in all. And then you got the Suikun provides a bit of speed control support and then we've got the other niche pick on the team with the Moractus and it is a really nice pick here. It's got the lifo for a bit of extra power. It's got throw chop, solar beam to take advantage of the sun and then spike your shield, which is a good a nice option to kind of punish opponents when they do attack into there with contact moves and then we have the weather ball as well. So can deal with a bunch of the really big threats in the format you've got Kyogre. Right. This can deal with you can deal with Shadow Rider Kylox and the zashing all with this one Pokemon. So hopefully it does see some play today. This is the overview of the team. It's been a bit longer than usual, but hopefully you appreciate it. Here's the rental code. We'll have a couple of games with the team now and then we'll wrap up with the rental at the end. So stick around for that and without further ado friends, we'll jump into game one of today's episode. First up. We have a talk call. Cure him white zapped us a bomber snow got the tell and Galarian Maltes team. So pretty similar team to what we're running in a lot of respects, you know, they've got similar elements to what we have.  So it's a little bit of a hybrid.  First definitely helps us, but do they have the assault vest on theirs? I think restroom does a really nice job against the majority of things on this team. Yeah, it's up to us is going to find it difficult to hit us. The talk call is that does have probably access to earth power. If it doesn't, then it will find it difficult. The bomber snow obviously can do neutral damage with blizzard and things like that, but we don't really worry too much about that. The Gotha tell we're not worried about and then the Galarian Maltres, I guess can throw up big damage and you've always got to be wary around that Pokemon in particular. But we do have Zapdos to help us with that particular threat. I think we're going to need speed control for sure. I think we'll go like pod sweet good restroom and Zapdos more lock in before the time runs out.  You know, it's hit so hard. It's a little like restroom really. It's a scary Pokemon. You don't see it too often, but it can do some big, devastating work if it's in the right position to this is why we need to kind of try and utilize our snarls if possible and speed control as well, which would be really, really, really good for us. Bomber snow puts a lot of pressure on to sweet could we do have a fake out from the lie pod term one here if we want to go for that. So I think we could even sunny day to be honest. Probably better thing is we lose lie pod. Do lose lie pod if we go for the fake out because the residual down is like if they attack into lie pod here, then we lose it.  Take us down, but at the same time, it would then allow something like restaurant to come in and we would have the tail wind up. So it's not the end of the world because lie pod going down does create that gap where we can kind of get that seamless switching freeze dry is the option of my opponent coming into the sweet going to do really nice damage there, but sweet couldn't bulk enough to take that and we are going to be able to get a tail wind up, which is always, always good. So we could snarl potentially sunny day. This next turn has been nice to get the sun up to be honest on the field and just go for a snarl. I mean, the bomber snow probably takes sweet couldn't down here. So the kind of the tables are reversed on outside of the field. You can imagine this week and being the one thing that probably goes down here to the bomber snarl, but it depends on what they've almost now does to go for a blizzard thinking that, you know, freestyle is going to be enough to get this week in here. And then you just want to get the blizzard to get, I guess some big damage on to the field. Yeah. And it does have the opportunity miss, which it does. So that's pretty good for us here. So we can get our rush around onto the field down. We can with the tail wind up. We can pressure that cure. We're not really worried about the bomber snarl at all right now. We can go for if I'll play into that slot. I think we just Draco meteor into the curium. We could go for earth power, but pretty risky. They've got two flyers potentially on their team that could come in. You know, there's aftos and the Maltres. So I'd be a little bit. We worry about about going for that one. I think the Draco meteor is enough here. We could go and not protecting the latest or best. That is not doing enough.  I mean, if we get the cure, I'm here. That's huge for us. And we do get it. We need to switch restroom out to get it back in now after those drops. I mean, we do have fake tears. So we could take advantage of that. And I'm almost saying you got to remember does get earth power now as well. So that could be a threat that could come out. Yeah. And that's what we're going to see. But with the assault vest, it does mean that we're going to be able to take that. A lot better than we would have previously. But at least they're restricted down, which kind of ties up the score at the minute. But it feels like one of those very offensive games where we're just trading trading attacks at the minute, you know, the talk will coming in. That makes things a bit more tricky. I mean, we'll take another earth power. We could fake tears and go for another Draco. But I don't want to take another. I think we fake tears into the talk hall. I think they're going to go for an earth power. And I think we go for a fusion flare into the Obama snow because even though we are minus two, we still take it down, right? It might and then it sets up Zapdos to come in and do a bit more damage to the talk hall in the end game with that fake tears. Now the fusion flare coming out into the Obama snow going to be more than enough to take it down four times a week. I do love a bomber snow as well. What's sad to see a bomber snow come to the field and then be fainted the yawn. Okay. Well, we'll take that 100% all day long. We'll take that yawn because now tailwinds pit it out. We want to reset the drops on restroom. So it's a good excuse to kind of switch it out though. Switching it to Zapdos isn't great because potentially going to take a big eruption or heat wave from the talk hall and it's Zapdos. Okay. Yeah. So restroom can potentially win out for us. I think rather than get... Let's switch into Zapdos here. I think we have to. We could lose potentially Zapdos and Lipod this turn. Depends what the talk hall does. If it goes for another yawn, then that's all right for us. But if not, at least we've got the fake tears and to both targets on my opponent's side of the field. So restroom should have an easy time. Kind of knocking out everything. Do you see the thunderbolt into Lipod? We managed to take that and a body press from the talk hall. Take down the Lipod. That's actually good for us because as Zapdos gets in for free here, they were kind of ignoring the restroom and not taking advantage of the fact that we were kind of forced to switch out there, you know? And that's what you want to do. If you're playing something like yawn, you want to really focus down on punishing the slot.  But if they do, you can really catch that. Now with the sunup, I think we just go for Fusion Flare and then we go for a Thunderbolt into Tokola. I have to worry about yawn still because that could still be something that comes out from the opposing talk hall. Thunderbolt in minus two, probably still not going to pick up the knockout. Fusion Flare should get that Zapdos. I wouldn't imagine the Zapdos is Assault Vest. So we may see the Zapdos detect here. Yawn come out from the talk hall. Oh no, just a Thunderbolt straight into our Zapdos, which is fine. So yeah, the Fusion Flare under the sun, minus two Zapdos. There's no way this doesn't knockout. This knocks out about 20 Zapdos, I swear. And then the Thunderbolt into the talk hall, which probably will yawn this turn, but I think it's just a little too late to try and utilize that because another Thunderbolt and we get the paralysis. It's a little unfortunate for my opponent, but they are revealing. Is this a Citrus Berry? I would imagine, yeah. Just a Citrus Berry. There's the yawn into the restroom, but that's fine. They're probably going to protect this next turn, but I mean Zapdos in the ideal position now where it's going to be able to just knockout the talk hall, regardless of what happens. So we've kind of locked this one up. Had this little panic there where the connecting message came up and I was like, have they got another Pokemon? We forgot about the fourth Pokemon, but no, they've just got the talk hall. It has happened in the past, friends. It has happened. It has happened. I've been like, oh, this is clear on Easy Street now, and then your opponent pulls out their last Pokemon. Restroom going to sleep from that yawn. Unfortunately, we couldn't really do too much about that, but like I say, we've got the Zapdos now, and that fake tears from the live pod really kind of helping us to clear the field, just making this a lot easier for us. Restrooms is asleep for a turn and Zapdos going to be able to close this one up. And another Pokemon very close to my heart is Zapdos. So a very nice way to finish for this first game today. Very good game to my opponent and a nice win for the team to kick off with today. So we will move swiftly on, friends, to our second game of today's episode. Next up, we have E playing a team of Incinero, Tapa Coco, Oregon 2, Groudon Entai, and Venusol. Really nice looking team, to be honest. And I know Groudon's picking up a bit of usage over in Japan recently. So it's going to be just a matter of time before that kind of seeps over, full force into this side of the world.  You've got the support set up there with things like Incinero, you've got Sleep Powder on, Venusol takes advantage of the Groudon Sun with the Chlorophyll ability. Entai going to be a bit of a pain because it kind of speeds out speeds with the majority of things on our team and can snarl us. Obviously has that sacred fire as well. And you can't discount the fact that it could be scarfed. A lot of players kind of tend to run scarfed Entai just to get those quick big hits onto the field early on. And then the Tapa Coco as well is an interesting one which kind of contradicts any sort of sleep support for the team, especially with the electric trainer. But it does give my opponent a way to disrupt opposing terrains. I think we could go Suicune because it's got the road, it's got the tailwind, two nice options there. I think we bring Tocall and then I think we bring Reshiram as well and then we lock in with these. I would have liked to have bring Murak... I can't even say it. Can't even say the grass type we've got.  Leave comments. You can destroy me down in the comments for it. Muractus! We've got it, we've got it. It's on the tip of my tongue. It's like a rack when it all over again. But it's just not as hard. And I should not be forgetting it. Okay, we're going to see Coco, we're going to see P2 come out from my opponent. I mean, we've got a pretty easy play here where we can stop the trick room if we want, we can just roar out the P2 whether or not they pick up on that. You've got to worry about the fact that P2 could have Thunderbolt as well, which it probably does to take advantage of the electric terrain. It gets the download boosting attack, thankfully though. So that's, that's good. But the big threat here for us in particular is that type of Coco, you know. I think I can all honestly, I don't want the trick room going up because the trick room goes up, it gets very difficult against something like the crowd on and all honesty. So I think, yeah, we roll, we roll the P2 and just fake out and then we can adjust the next turn if we want to. So Coco getting flinched by that fake out Shadow Ball coming out. Was that into Suicune? Okay, well, we'll deal with that.  But not, not amazing, not amazing. But I mean, we're not threatened by, we're not threatened by the sleep, right? So it's not terrible. It's not terrible. I don't know if I want to set up this Sunday day yet.  We still got a sash there and just switch into Reshiram here, especially with the Assault Vest, we'll be able to take things like Thunderbolt, Dazzling Gleam, Sleep Powder, we've got, you know, the works, we'll be able to work with that. And with the, like I say, the Electro Train on the field right now, we're not really worried about the Sleep Powder. The best case scenario here for us would be the Vino Soul going for something like a leaf storm into this weak wound slot to kind of prevent the potential tailwind going up. But it's going to be Grass Knot, which is still uber fine, uber, uber fine and revealing that life up there. So far play is going to do a good chunk of damage onto that Pokemon. And now we've got the combination where we can go fake tears, integrate on, and we can go for the Fusion Flet into that slot. They may protect and get the P2 in on the Vino here. So we may be missing a trick here, but if we can get rid of the Groudon now, that's, that's so huge for us. So huge, Earth Power, yes. As long as the Groudon's not faster than us, which you wouldn't expect in a kind of a trick room sort of orientated team. Oh, we got speed. Can we get the knockout please? The sun's up, we should be able to. Sun's out, gun's out. There we go, Groudon down. That makes things so much easier for us. That's a bit tense, that moment there, but we still got plenty of things for us to worry about. But as long as there's electric trains on the field, I don't think we need to worry so much. The Venusaur is a bit of a problem, of course. Everything hits, everything hits. Sweet Coon, doesn't it? Can we pull a double switch maybe? Because I think... Mm-hmm. Toko coming in. Toko's kind of better just to bring in off the bench really is a kind of cleanup crew, Pokemon. I'm completely honest. Kind of want to get... Thing is, I want to get Lipod back onto the field. But I think a foul play with plus recall damage is probably going to be enough to get the Venus here. I'm completely honest. And it's going to go Earth Power. And we're probably going to see Dazzling Gleam. Oh, we know the Coco. Okay, we're going to see Grass Knot. That's a nice... That's a nice play. That's a nice play. I mean, let me take it, but... Have we got a berry? We have got a berry. There's going to be enough for us to take the Dazzle. Potentially, I think we could. Get the foul play. Is it enough with that recall damage? Hmm, not quite. Dazzling Gleam going to take Lipod down to its sash, for sure. Um... We don't have... Well, what we could do is... We'll talk all. Oh, do we want... Yeah, we won't bring talk all in. Uh...  We're not going to. We're going to... We're sacking. We're sacking Suicune here. We are. But the fact is, if we can keep that fake up present from Lipod, I think that's going to be something that really helps us out in the late game. I'm probably going to see Grass Knot Dazzle again. And talk all going to be able to take that. Problem would be if my opponent kind of... Goes for the T-Bolt, expecting another switch. The Vinoe finally going down, which is good. We've just got the P2 to deal with, which makes things extremely difficult. I suspect a Bolt switch coming out. Yeah, that's a nice play for my opponent. That is a nice play. So P2 and Tapu Koko. Don't think the P2's got... Thunderbolt. Does have Shadow Ball. Does get the special attack boost, which isn't great. But we've got clear smog, so we can get rid of that. Tapu Koko going to come back in though. Yeah, we could potentially just fake out Earth Power, the Koko. I'd probably do it. And then Reshiram versus... Because the Koko didn't reveal... Koko hasn't revealed Protect yet. And it's likely that it might be a Soulfest, you know? Could be a Soulfest.  Because then when Reshiram comes back onto the field, it's going to have a way easier time dealing with the P2. And I think, honestly, it's probably a better idea doing that. Rather than going for the fake out the Koko, if it has got Protect, it might Protect here. It hasn't got Protect though, because it would have Protected before the Toko. Do get the fake tears into the P2, which is useful. So I hope this kind of is the payoff we need at the end. And get the Volt Switch. Yep. And... Shadow Ball. Ooh, we're going to get another one. We're going to get another one. It's not like Fades. It's fine. Um... Hmm... Hmm, hmm, hmm... Okay. Can we take... I don't think we'll take a Volt Switch. But we can get... Another fake tears into the P2. Put it down to minus 4, which should mean anything that touches it, that's special, should just knock it out. Hopefully. Dazzling Gleam. Yeah. Dazzling Gleam and Shadow Ball. And we'll take a Shadow Ball. So we'll get a free Earth Power. It's not free. It's not free by any means. But we'll get an Earth Power we should do. Ooh, maybe not. Or maybe not, not with this plus. How we do? This Toko's a beast. It's a beast. Yeah, it's definitely a Solvest. It's 100% a Solvest. What are we talking about? What are we chatting about? There's no way that Koko's anything but a Solvest. Try Attack is a little bit iffy, but... Um... What we want to try and do is stall at least Electric Terrain. Electric Terrain has got three turns. There's a lot of stalling out to do. Um... Hmm... Could protect this turn and go for Fusion Flare. Is it going to be enough? Is Fusion Flare going to be enough? I don't think Koko's got enough to take Reshiram down two hits though. So Fusion Flare will protect the call. Because if they go Dazzle... Yeah, which they do. And we should take a Try Attack as well. This is neutral. They take that pretty well. How much is this going to do? It would be better if the Sun was up. That would guarantee the knockout. But we don't need the Sun. Who needs the Sun when he got a Reshiram? There we go. A Reshiram in Leipard. That's all you need. So that pretty much seals the deal for us here. Against a pretty scary, hard team, Reshiram coming through. And the Leipard being so pivotal in both of these games. So pivotal with that fake tears. You know, it's really just being able to really put... Put... Oh, we even take it with Tocall. There we go. Reshiram going to be probably enough. Yeah, to get it. So... Yeah, just putting targets in positions where we're able to pick them off. And we've had two amazing games with the team today. So Marcel, I can just give you a huge shout out. Thank you once again for providing us with the rental. I've had probably one of some of the most fun I've had playing series 10 with this team in today's episode. So I'm going to be continuing to play this team for a lot longer. So I would advise every single one of you to give this rental code a try. And what we'll do now is jump over and remind you all of the rental team for today. Right, friends, here is today's rental team. Like I say, a big shout out to Marcel for passing this rental team over to us and kindly sharing it with the community. And I hope if you do try it out, you have a lot of fun with it.  So give it a try. Have a lot of fun with it. It is an incredible build and he's done a great job at putting this one together. A little bit sad that we didn't really get to see much of the Maractus today. It's probably the only Pokemon we didn't really get to feature, which is kind of the one thing that I really wanted to see a lot more of. But obviously the matchups today weren't as like the ground on one could have been, but I think the Pokemon that we picked in the end obviously worked out for what we kind of faced. Maractus could have done very well against that last team that we faced, but unfortunately we didn't bring it. But it's still something to try out. If you do try it out though, let me know down in the comment section what your thoughts are on this spiky grassy plant Pokemon that looks very cool and kind of weird at the same time. Always weirds me out when I see it in Pokemon games. But that's another story for another time. Thank you so much for tuning in as always friends. Have a great rest of your day. We'll be back later in a week with more VGCC was 10 stuff and hopefully you you catch. Check that out when you can. So have a great rest of your day and more importantly than anything else, take care of yourself and I'll see you all for another episode very soon. So until then, take care and bye bye.
