Personal finance, PowerPoint presentation, personal finance, check up. Prepare to get financially fit by practicing personal finance. We've been thinking about our investment goals and investment strategies, and we wanna think about that in context of our overall financial conditions at this point in time because clearly investment goals and strategies need cash flow in order to implement them. So at this point in time, if we look at our personal financial conditions, the questions then would be where would be the best place to be putting our cash flow? Clearly, if we just have the cash flow to pay the bills, then generally you would think we would need to be paying the bills first because if we don't pay the bills, then the late payments and so on will often most likely be higher than any kind of returns we would be getting on the investments most likely. So we would want to be doing our budgeting. We wanna have the balanced budget for our expenses and hopefully be able to budget for excess cash flow over and above the bills that we're paying that we can use for our investment strategy. We also have the concept of debt and for example, credit cards. And then there's a question of, well, if I have the cash flow, would it be better off for me to be paying off debt or should I be putting it into the investment? Now, when you're looking at debt that's something like a credit card, then oftentimes if you don't pay off the credit cards, you're gonna run into higher fees in terms of interest rates and those fees will oftentimes be higher than you might be able to get if you put the money into the investment. In other words, you would think then if you had debt, if you were leveraging, if you had debt and then you're putting money into the investment, you would do so because you're trying to get a higher return on the investment than the amount that you're having to pay basically with the debt. However, with the credit cards, oftentimes you will run into higher rates quite often. So generally you would like to pay off the credit card and get to the point where you're paying the credit card off each month. If you could pay the credit card off each month, then the credit card's a great tool because it might even give you some timeframe that you got free money until you pay off the credit card, right? Because if you're not getting charged any interest on it and you made the purchase sooner and then you could have paid at the end of the month or whatever. So not using the cash advance. So if you're using a cash advance for the credit card, then once again, you're taking on debt and you might have a rate that could be higher than high enough that it's gonna eat away any kind of returns that you would have. Therefore, you'd like to pay that down. Limited number of cards. So clearly one way to manage your debt with regards to credit cards would be to limit the number of cards that you have. Cash and liquidity sources. So another thing that we would like to be spending our cash on is first to have that emergency fund available, have an emergency fund at least three months living expenses so that if something happens that we have the capacity to get the liquid cash flow we need. In other words, we don't wanna lock our investments down so that we can't reach them at least for that short-term liquidity. Now note that some investments are less liquid than others. So if you put your money into something like a 401k plan, which is where most people would start their long-term investment planning, it's under the umbrella of an investment plan that has tax consequences. So you can't really take the money out there very easily in the event of an emergency. If you have money outside of the umbrella of a 401k plan that you put into something like a mutual fund or an index funds, then you might be able to access it fairly quickly in the event that there's an emergency. You might have tax consequences in terms of gains possibly. You wouldn't like to possibly pull that out but maybe you can get more access to that. Obviously, if you had money into a savings account or the checking account or something like that, that's gonna be the most liquid type of cash that you could basically access. Obviously, if you put money into the stock market too, it's possible that it could go down which would reduce your ability to pull it out if you need it. So access to other sources of cash, pre-approved line of credit, so it would be great if in the event that you had an emergency, you could take on the debt in order to get the cash flow necessary for that timeframe. In other words, you don't really wanna be in a situation where if an emergency happens, you have no capacity to get cash flow either through debt or through a savings fund or an emergency fund and therefore have to take on something like possibly take money out of a 401k plan or something like that because the 401k plan is gonna, you're gonna have penalties related to that. So the ability to have the pre-approved credit line would be great and hopefully you don't have to use it because if you have to use it, then you're gonna be paying interest on it. Note that if you have debt in something like a home, then you've got the long-term mortgage. Then the question of, well, is it more beneficial for me to be paying off the mortgage or is it more beneficial for me to be putting money into investments becomes a more complex one because generally the mortgage rate might be lower and you might have tax benefits on the interest at least on the mortgage. Therefore, if you put money into an investment, especially if you get a tax benefit from it, like putting money into an IRA, then you might be able to get a return from your investment that would be higher than if you like pay down basically the mortgage. So there's kind of some question as to the debt. Is it worthwhile to pay down the debt or should you be putting money into the investment at that point? Again, with the credit card, most likely you'd like to pay down the credit card oftentimes because of the higher rates there or possibly consolidate if you have a lot of debt, for example, if possible. So cash advance on your credit card. So the cash advance on your credit card, again, it would be nice to have it available and then not use it if you don't need to use it unless there's an emergency. So you have the cash flow if needed. Getting cash for investment. So where does the cash come from investment? So employer sponsored retirement program. Some employers match part or all of the contributions. So if you're an employee, then oftentimes you might have the ability to have a 401K plan. Many businesses do because it's one of the biggest benefits that they can give to the employee. If the employer can give the employee money that goes further, how could it go further? By not paying, not having the tax implications with it, then it's beneficial for both the employer and the employee. So that the retirement plan is a big benefit in that way because they can give you money that's gonna go into the retirement plan and have a tax benefit there because you may not have the tax on and they might match with it as well. So you would like to be able to max out as much as possible on the 401K, but obviously to do so, you would need the cash flow to do it. So you're gonna have to manage your budget, make sure that you're paying off the expenses and all the credit cards and all the stuff that we talked about and whatnot. And then hopefully you can have money taken out of your paycheck automatically, which is a great tool because then you don't have to basically get the money in your hands and then physically, because once it's in your hands, it's more likely that you're gonna spend it. You wanna set up a system where it's automatically saved and then your budgeting is based on what you're receiving so that you can spend what you're receiving. Otherwise, we tend as human beings to spend what we get. So if we get it, we're probably, we may spend it. So if we could take it out before we get it, as long as it's going into our account, then that's gonna be good. So obviously the government knows that too, that's why they take the money before we get it as well. They take out withholding, social security, Medicare, federal income tax. That's bad because we don't get that money in theory. It goes to programs or whatever, but if we plan it for ourselves and tell our employer to withhold it for our benefit and our retirement fund, then that's using this idea in a positive way instead of a coercive one. So I think an elective saving program, I'm many withheld from paycheck, each payday that goes into savings. So obviously, again, if you can take, if you can make it automatic that the money comes out and goes into the saving, you put that into your budget, that's the way to go so that you can just make it part of your normal routine. Make special savings effort one or two months each year. So you might pick one or two months and say, hey, I'm gonna live, lean, I'm gonna be cutting back for the one or two months, which I think could have multiple benefits. Obviously it could free up some money for savings, but if you pick activities that are less expensive, for example, you might also find that some of the things that you're spending a lot of money on are possibly even harmful to you, or at least not helpful to you, or not any better than other types of things, possibly. So I think it's useful to experiment with that from time to time. Remember that time value of money concepts have a big impact on saving. So obviously if we put the money away sooner, the better chances we have to meet our goals such as retirement goals, but obviously to start saving sooner, we need to have the cash flow to be able to do that and to be able to cap the cash flow to be able to do that. We gotta be at least having our budget for paying down the bills and then hopefully paying down the debt, at least the debt that's gonna have a high cost to it due to the interest rates related to it. So that we can then focus our time and attention on the savings component, the planning, the retirement savings, for example.


Ocean acidification is, in fact, the increase in acidity of the surface marine waters. This is mainly due to the increased emissions of CO2 by human activities that is partly taken up by the oceans. When I say partly, it's about 25% of the man-made CO2 that are taken up by the ocean. That means about 24 million tons daily that are taken up by the oceans. This CO2, once in the water, will be trapped, partly trapped in the waters but will be transformed in carbonic acid. And this carbonic acid will finally increase the acidity of the waters. So this increase in acidity in the water has a major effect on the chemistry of the water. And eventually, it is modifying the equilibrium of the carbonates. The carbonates are in fact the main building blocks that are used by many marine organisms to build their skeleton. So when you decrease the availability of these carbonates, that's what happens when you increase the acidity, the organisms can no longer have access to these carbonates to build their skeleton. And so it's reducing the skeleton. And many organisms depend on these skeletons to survive, to grow, to reproduce. And using some nuclear techniques, we can assess quite easily how these organisms are able to grow, are able to produce their skeleton, are able to build their skeleton under different acidity scenarios. And this can be done almost only thanks to nuclear applications, like the incorporation of calcium in the skeleton that is tracked using the radioactive calcium. Some very tiny organisms that are the base of many marine food chains are directly affected. Their life is based on the integrity of their skeleton. When they cannot build their skeleton, they die. And when they die, of course, the organisms that are feeding on them are dying as well. As soon as you are affecting the food chain, all the organisms feeding on other ones can potentially be affected. And the ultimate level of this food chain is man. And indeed, many communities in the world are relying heavily on seafood as main sources of protein. And when you decrease, well, you affect the seafood organisms, the food chains, you will affect, finally, the seafood sources for this population. And this is, of course, a direct impact on seafood security. One of the major purpose of our work is to assess the sensitivity and the resistance of marine organisms to ocean acidification. This is a global stressor. And so we need to know to have this information in order to propose some adaptation or mitigation strategies. It has, of course, a major impact on fisheries and aquaculture. And we have, for instance, to determine some species that are more resistant to this stressor to allow the reorienting some aquaculture or fisheries practices. But with the observation that are made nowadays in the marine environment and the information we have from the last 200, 250 years, the scientists can predict that the acidity is increasing a lot at a rate that is the fastest that was ever observed. And we know now that by the end of 2100, the acidity will have increased by 150% in the oceans.


It was good everyone is be over here again for another trailer reaction This is for the equalizer to trailer number two being put out by Sony Pictures starring Denzel Washington Thought the first film was okay.

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم الحمد لله رب العالم الذي هدانا لهذا وما كنا لنا احتل يا لو لا ان هدان الله والسلام على أشرف الانبياه والمرسلين شفي عيد نوبنا وطبيب نفوسنا وحبيب قلوبنا بالقاسم محمد وعاله الطيبين الطاهرين المعصومين المضلومين واصحابه المنتجبين ولعنة الله الدائمة على عدائه مجمعين بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم رب الشرح لي صدري ويسر لي أمر وحل لقد تم اللسان يفقه قولي أما بعال السلام عليكم جميعا ورحمة الله وبركاته أعظم الله وجورنا وجوركم بمسابنا بيبي عبد الله الحسين عليه السلام بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم عندما يأتي المملكة للمجمعه كما قلت لنا انه يردوه جميعا يقولوا لا إله إلا الله تفلحوا يقول لنا لا إله إلا الله ويجب أن تأتي سلوات الآن الناس who came to the fold of Islam they did not understand fully and could not grasp fully the meaning and the content of what the Prophet of Islam was giving to them and it was natural for them to not to but what the Prophet did was he introduced this notion of Allah سبحانه وتعالى within everyday life and he simplified their lives through that to an extent that whether they intellectually understood it or not they began to live through and at a later date they began to comprehend the intellectual content of what the Prophet had given. We want to explore both sides of it. The first thing that the Prophet did was he made الله سبحانه وتعالى a very very simple notion that there is one Allah there is no complication he is single authority he is most loving he is most caring he has created you for a reason there is a grand purpose here there is something huge at stake trust in Allah سبحانه وتعالى worship him obey him make him the focal point and success will be guaranteed the fact of the matter is when he introduced this it was so refreshing for their minds as opposed to the complexities that they were carrying with them on a daily basis as opposed to loss of sleep anxiety worry now they had this point of reference where they can just say we rely on Allah سبحانه وتعالى and hope for the best not even hope for the best have confidence in the best to the extent that when they were striving they had poor confidence that whatever they did would yield fruits and would be successful they would say تواقل to Allah I rely solely on Allah سبحانه وتعالى now here the Prophet introduced two or three things in their minds that look if you rely on Allah سبحانه وتعالى and Allah is the sole authority then he can turn every potentially negative situation into a positive situation now imagine their level of confidence when they had that in their minds to the Prophet said to them that even if the situation is not turned in your favor apparently it's only because Allah sees you worthy of something far greater it was amazing the way he changes their views the way he changed their world but the way he introduced it was not at an intellectual level solely it was at that practical level where they began to live with the truth now imagine how the Prophet introduced Allah سبحانه وتعالى the first thing is he said pray five times a day to Allah five times a day wash your face wash your hands and when you wash your face wash your hands connect it with Allah Oh Allah brighten my face Oh Allah make my tongue pronounce your name and speak the truth Oh Allah do not make me محروم Do not disappoint me from smelling the fragrance of paradise Oh Lord give my book to me in my right hand and make me of those who are righteous when they wipe their feet that mundane act they said Oh Allah keep me on your path this is the way he introduced Allah to them and Allah was ingrained within their minds pray five times a day be focused to Allah سبحانه وتعالى they didn't even know what was happening but the whole of their psychological being was being shaped and was being spared of all the destruction so that they could beautifully grow in this way that community didn't even understand what was happening they made that decision to go to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and they only had one single point of reference which was Allah everything centered around Allah جل جلاله and look at the language that he introduced at every point people would say الحمد لله ما شاء الله لا قوة إلا بالله when they faced an enemy they would say لا قوة إلا بالله whenever loss befell them they said ما شاء الله whenever a situation was beyond their control they did not struggle with that situation they knew it was beyond their control but it was well within the control of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and beyond that they knew that Allah was a caring agent the way the Prophet introduced Allah to them was that their daily lives became inextricably connected with Allah سبحانه وتعالى you know this ووحبي بردس we may curse them or do whatever we like with them but there's a certain charm about them that is very appealing a friend of mine recounted to me an incident he said there was a Sheikh in Dubai he said ووحبي but two of his sons died in the month of Ramadan through reckless driving one was 19 and one was 21 and possibly he only had two sons he said well he was working for that person he said we buried them we buried the two youths and it's a scene that cannot be withstood by any heart especially not by a father he said I went to the father to offer condolences and I didn't know how to offer sympathy he said but when I spoke to him he just turned to me he said ما شاء الله it was Allah's amana and Allah has taken it away and Allah knows best now imagine 1400 years on أجل أجهزة الإسلام لقد حصلت على ذلك الفسط أجل كيف يفرش and يحرق هذا هذا كان في أجل أجهزة في حالة العالم where Allah became the focal point and Allah acquired centrality they did not even understand the way in which reformation was taking place within these people what the Prophet did was he replaced the individualistic very constricted and restricted perspective with a very open flowing meaningful perspective through Allah's amana now these people they did not see any part of existence in vain they actually saw meaning in life and life had become meaningful for them their striving was not this that I aspire to make a million by this age or I aspire to arrive at this position of respect or popularity or that I aspire to acquire the world their whole objective was I aspire for the pleasure of Allah subhanahu و تعالى he had totally reformed the way in which they were and now look at the facets of what he had done for them when the Prophet introduced Allah Allah was not that other one the one in paradise the one where we have to go he wasn't that one for them Allah was the immediate present the Quranic verses that the Prophet used to recite for them هو معكم أينما كنتم he is with you wherever you are imagine the God focusness that that sort of verse brings to the mind أينما تولوا فثم وجه الله wherever you turn you shall find the face of Allah and the way the Prophet introduces Allah is amazing in the verse it says Oh people when you are told to make space in a gathering make space Allah will make space for you Allah was being introduced at that mundane level of human existence where people are saying actually I am doing this for Allah and Allah became the closest truth the closest reality they began to live in a world which I have just described as infested with Allah and of course the verses emphasize this هو الأول هو الأخير هو ظاهر هو الباطن he is the first he is the last he is the upper and he is the hidden and the way in which the souls began to evolve there was an intellectual reformation in them all together what happened was that Allah became the central facet the central pillar what the Prophet taught them was he said look Allah is there he is with you more than you are with yourself now prefer Allah to yourselves immediately he introduced that aspect of altruism of Allah that prefer Allah above you and when these people were able to give themselves to Allah and prefer Allah above their choice automatically this beautiful evolution began within them they began to live and abide by the principles of existence for them their world was not like my world my world is a totally detached world from me although intellectually I will say this intellectually we have a far deeper understanding than the Sahaba but the truth that they intuitively understood was the truth that I can't grasp intellectually they lived through the truth the truth that I understand but for me it's an intellectual truth for them it was a living truth they were able to give themselves to Allah and prefer Allah above them and as soon as they preferred Allah or themselves they began to grow and become liberated from within all those concerns that preoccupied them the same concerns that preoccupied me and you for them were no longer concerns if they strove they strove for the sake of Allah if they met with success they were not overjoyed they said it is from Allah and it is for Allah and if they met with failures they were not dismayed they said it is as Allah wishes there was this beautiful state of inner balance that they had and that inner balance allowed them to grow here what the Prophet told them was that your objective is you yourself it is not another thing that you are retaining your objective is you as I said intellectually they may not have comprehended the content of the Prophet's message but they lived through it nonetheless and later on intellectually we appreciate it but we are not living through it unfortunately for them their objective was not that distant God that they had to reach to for them the objective was very present right now live a proper fulfilled glorious life at the moment without any regrets and the verse of the Quran emphasizes this again and again and again and again and these were the people who were listening to the Prophet revealing the Quran upon them and they were living by those verses Allah says again and again لا خوفون عليهم ولاهم يحزنون the people who die لا خوفون عليهم ولاهم يحزنون the people who give in the way of Allah لا خوفون عليهم ولاهم يحزنون where is this fear and where is this grief you see fear is at present grief is a presumption of future we fear the loss of life at present or loss of wealth and in future there is a possible situation in our minds that might occur and we may not be able to fare for ourselves in the future and therefore it causes grief and Allah again and again says لا خوفون عليهم ولاهم يحزنون these glorious people they abided by this verse when it came to give in the way of Allah they gave they say Allah is saying لا خوفون عليهم ولاهم يحزنون why should I not trust Allah it totally simplified their lives and they began to come into sink or they began to come into line with the principles of existence for what the Prophet said لا إله إلا الله he was not only talking about our psychological condition and its factors of growth which is simplicity through Allah he was talking about truth in its entirety these people could not understand it intellectually but intuitively they were living it and their lives were extremely meaningful what happened then was they began to emulate the beautiful God they actually began to emulate Allah سبحانه وتعالى as Allah's nature is all loving all rahman all tolerant all forgiving they themselves became that way and the Hadith of the Prophet emphasize this if anybody forgives his brother Allah will forgive him if anyone can tolerate another Allah will tolerate him if anyone can love another for the sake of Allah Allah will love him think about these things they are very simple for us but they live through these for example the Prophet's instruction that if anybody were to smile at another person and to say I feel love for you through Allah سبحانه وتعالى the Hadith states that Allah immediately will forgive all his sins and will make him the inheritor of Paradise immediately at that point now imagine that beautiful incentive that was there they became people who work genuinely caring people loving people people who became altruistic they modified themselves totally through God they began to become Godly like God forgiving tolerant loving it is here that they came into proper balance with existence they became well balanced people somebody was just talking about extremism today is Islam we find تندنسي of fanaticism the fact of the matter is no form of extremism gives growth a balanced state is required for growth the people in the time of Prophet were very very balanced they were in a beautiful inner state which allowed them to grow they would not go to any extreme because that is motion away from growth and motion away from God this is what the Prophet introduced now some of the principles by which we live today which are Islamic principles for them had a very different meaning you see they did not see this world as the way we are seeing they saw this world as a living being that had principles of its own not a world that is disjointed from me when Allah SWT said to them give sadaqa and sadaqa will bring more they believed this not in a mystical magical way but they understood this as a property of the world they actually lived in a living world when the Prophet of Allah said كما تدين تدان what you do to others will happen to you they actually believe that because they saw it happening they understood the world as a living being that whatever you do will come back to you in the way in which you have acted with others for them their world was a real world in this way they had awoken to the truth and as they awoke to the truth even without intellectualizing the truth to which they had awoken to they were growing creatures now look at some of the things that happened with those first beautiful Muslims and it continued because it did not wear off so quickly when the Christians of Najran came to the Prophet they lost the intellectual debate of course their claim was that Jesus is the son of God because of the fact that he was without a father I mean Isa had a lot of other things to his merit as well but one of the most primary things that they uphold all the fundamental things that the Christians uphold his immaculate conception and his birth الله سبحانه وتعالى والله سبحانه وتعالى تقريبا أنه مجموعة أن الله تقريبا إذا كانت تقريبا أن Isa without a father is deemed as the son of God then Adam did not have a father or a mother then Adam by priority should be a son of God but now you are not ready to accept Adam as the son of God so you have to concede that Isa was not son of God and if you agree that Isa is the son of God then agree by priority that Adam is the first son of God so they lost intellectual debate they went into the spiritual debate or the spiritual challenge then Allah said in that case and look at the way in which Allah understands the way in which we are you know when me and you when we lose an intellectual challenge we always say but our faith will carry us through don't we we always say I don't understand this but my faith is true and I believe in what I believe in and I trust what I believe in the Christians were no different they said yes we have lost the intellectual challenge here but we know how we believe in Jesus is true and Jesus will help us and our faith will come to our aid Allah said in that case let us engage in mutual implication but when they saw the face of Usin Ibn Ali they were deterred from engaging into a mutual implication so here not only have they lost the intellectual debate or challenge they have lost a spiritual challenge which is based on our intimate connection with what we believe but even then when they went to the Prophet they said we are not ready to follow your religion the Prophet smiled and he said be Christians these people were able to tolerate differences they understood that the norm of the world is variety is plurality and that Allah that is to be found is to be found in the glorious colors that he has painted he is not to be found in singularity this is the truth in which they lived as I say they may not have intellectually comprehended what they were doing but they were living that beautiful truth today if people said it's a shame on Islam and the Muslims right now that Islam is intolerant we only need to remind ourselves of our own glorious history that it was only the Muslims who allowed peaceful coexistence of Abrahamic faiths within Jerusalem and as soon as the crusaders went in they killed the Muslims and drove the Jews out of Jerusalem the same people who proclaim the God of mercy to be their righteous God the God of tolerance and Isa as a son of God did not have that tolerance within them why because they understand this at an intellectual level yet these Muslims they could not comprehend all of this at an intellectual level yet they were living this very truth they were living this very truth there is a huge difference between what is happening now and what happened then those people lived that beautiful truth and by living that truth the purpose was there with them here it's an intellectual purpose that we talk about we philosophize but the truth does not touch us at all one of the things that the Prophet realized and he did was he removed people's distractions from them and as their distractions were removed they started tapping into the truth in a holistic way today the distraction that we have is none other than our preoccupation and Islam in itself the Islamic theology is such a huge distraction from the truth itself imagine me and you are living in a world who's end is an Imam who will put most of this world to death think about this me and you are theologically living in a world whose end is an Imam who will come and she this sword and kill everybody and only a very few people will be attaining salvation mine and your theological world is the world in which Islam will be split into 72 sects and 71 of them are in hell this is the world in which me and you live this world is a wrong and a false world it is not the true world the true world is a beautiful world the true world yearns Allah seeks Allah seeks goodness seeks growth seeks promotion of love and light it can't be otherwise what aspect of the world that you see is stagnated none everything's on the move towards a glorious move you see the same Islam that can't be changed the same Islam that came to liberate people and it intuitively liberated them when it became fashioned in words it's become the most devastating philosophy ever today I'm not even ready to engage with my Muslim brother if he's a Wahhabi or a Sunni without this bias in my heart that he's going to hell I have to convert him or he goes to hell who am I who am I the fact is I am in hell right now the very fact that I can think that I'm in hell and I'm not liberated truly and I don't have entertain salvation think about it the very fact that a person can think this way that the rest of the world is going in hell shows that he has not even tapped into the properties of existence he hasn't even understood where are those beautiful glorious examples of the Sahaba of the 60 mom when a person converts to Islam and he said how should I treat my mother he said treat her better than you ever treated her before when a kafir comes to the first imam he states should I read the Quran by looking at it the imam said look at it there is more merit your parents will be forgiven the person said they died as kafir the imam said Allah will lessen their punishment in that case look at the worldview that they had it's a beautiful world in which they lived they wanted to express goodness they wanted to create goodness they wanted to evolve with goodness and the prophetic attitude the Christians were given amnesty without them being required to convert to Islam and the Quran talks about their salvation as Christians the prophet did not taunt them he did not say to the Rahman to the priest high priest that you lost the intellectual challenge you lost your spiritual challenge did not mock at them did not laugh at them did he he said fine you want to be but worship Allah and the Quran again emphasized this point oh prophet say to the Jews and the Christians let us unite on that which is common amongst us that we shall worship none other than Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala he acknowledged them as Christians he acknowledged them as Jews he acknowledged them as kafir whatever and there was this beautiful truth that was flowing their truth was an intuitive truth their truth was a truth that they lived mine and your truth and intellectual truth that does not make sense anymore their objective was a present objective Allah is here right now with me our Allah is somewhere else that we have to reach to there is a huge difference between the two for them their objective was attained at every instance for me the objective is to be attained after death by Allah if Allah cannot be found here right now there is no Allah to be found there this is the truth that the Quran is giving us look at it in the verses of the Quran the Quran states on the day of Qiyama Allah shall not look at them shall not talk with them why on the day of Qiyama according to my understanding and your understanding everything is gloriously there nobody can deny anything yes isn't that the way we are isn't that the way we understand Qiyama but it seems that even at the day of Qiyama nothing has changed from the way it is in this world there are some people whom Allah is saying what did you do in your world and Isa cries out Allah why do you ask me you were with me you know everything I've done do you need to ask me don't ask me judge upon me and another person Allah will ask what did you do he will say Allah all your angels are lying I did this and this and this even at that point that soul has not awoken even on the day of Qiyama observing the mqam مواقع النجوم وإنه لقسمه لو تحلمونا عظيم الله is saying I do not swear by the falling of the stars and it is a mighty oath even after observing the falling of the stars even after observing the pit of hell the people will still deny and lie in front of God nothing has changed the same world that is here is the same world that is there on the day of Qiyama there is something going on to which we need to awaken our intellectual truth بينز with the God that is somewhere else it does not work there is no God that is somewhere else if that Allah is not found here he is not found there the truth is to be lived through the objective is to be attained at every instant at every moment this is the beautiful truth that they abided in and abided by the truth that we have today in the name of Islam is no is the most alien thing to Islam all together even if it comes in the name of Islam even if it is enforced by the Quran or by the prophetic saying or by the name of God himself think about the world in which me and you are living our world is a world in which wudu is so important is so important that nobody remembers Allah by washing the left hand think about the world in which me it's a very intellectual formalistic world I wash my right arm but I'm so careful that I don't touch the tap and I'm preoccupied with it it's like a person who looks at the mirror not inside the mirror he forgets that the purpose of the mirror is to see his own beautiful self and not to view how polished the mirror is but he's so preoccupied this is what has become of the present day Islam it has become totally totally convoluted and totally counterproductive a true person is a person who is true to themselves and is challenging the Sahaba they lived the truth and when something did not make sense to them they went to the prophet they said this does not make sense to me the prophet would either explain or say trust in Allah if it doesn't make sense to you then trust in Allah but today's attitude is what it has to make sense to me and I have to make sense of it to others there is a vast difference between the two perspectives to intuitively live the truth and to comprehend the truth at my personal level and then to enforce it you see when we look at every single thing we believe in we will see honestly that we are talking in a language which is a presumptuous language nobody even understands what they are saying anymore Allah is this Allah is that do we even understand what the word Allah means and do we even mean the same thing when we say Allah when we say this is good this is bad do we even understand what it means when we talk about morality what does morality mean the whole of our language has become a presumptuous language it's as if alien beings are talking in foreign languages and they are all going about it amazingly but nobody is understanding and because the words are not being understood the person when they internalize the truth they are as messed up as the words are messed up they are as confused as the words that they use are messed up and confused to our personal inputs the truth is simple it's beautiful it's productive it's growth but the way I understand the world is holy holy based on my personal dislikes every single thing is infected with my emotions you know this when the prophet brought islam he said this is haram end of story there was no yuckiness about it there was no huray about it there was no boo about it it was a very simple understanding today when some of the tenants of the islamic law are being discussed it's a big deal Allah is saying this except it for them it was a very very different world for us it's become a very different world unfortunately we have begun to live in a very alien environment through the same islam which rid them of an alien environment and brought them to the truth it's the same islam same islam and tolerance that has made us intolerant today the sunnis are going to help in that day there was no sunni there was no shia and if there were different strands they were all considered as the same strand give me an example of this today we in Sydney are the community of shia will become two different sects all together a very hard line Wahabi type sect and a very softer Sufi like sect but today they are one today they are one they are all attaining salvation but 50 years down the line one of them is going to hell and the other one is a successful one this is exactly what is going to happen a true person who truly and want to explain the principles of existence is like how it permeates every strata of existence a true person is one who can stand and say this doesn't make sense even if it comes in the name of God even if it comes in the name of the prophet even if it comes in the Quran it doesn't make sense now what I'm understanding of the Quran is absolutely wrong let's give an example if that prophet hadith is true by the way the sheers don't believe in this hadith that the umma will be split in 73 sects out of which 72 will go to hell the sheers do not believe in this hadith yes the sheer Muslims but if to say something like this think about it when the prophet said to the people jibra'il came to me last night and he said oh Muhammad you may either accept the forgiveness of half of your umma or the gift of doing shafaqa an intercession they asked the prophet what did you accept he said I accepted intercession so that I can intercede for every one of you on the day of Qiyamah how can that prophet say this on one hand then say 72 majority of my umma is going to hell how does that make sense it's nonsensical think about it it doesn't make sense on the day of Qiyamah we have hadith that when anyone will be taken to hell the prophet will cry out and say oh Allah this is my umma it's my umma when the prophet is awoken on the day of Qiyamah they say oh now your umma will be resurrected and you can take them with you yes it's not to say that people like yazid and others will not go to hell because they have made their own hell yazid can't be forgiven because if yazid is forgiven he will not remain yazid anymore but that's a theological issue we can talk at some other point but think about it in hell was an idiom in those days which meant 72 of them will not have comprehended the deal accurately it does not mean that they will go to hell and not have salvation not at all on the one hand the prophet puts 72 of his sex to hell and on the other hand the Quran is saying the Christians and the Jews are going to go to heaven how inconsistent is that you see here the whole crisis is that we are in sync with the principles of existence and growth and hence this theology is influencing us so much it's a holy false and wrong theology two the prophet had said this and I thought about it a little the prophet said the sign of a hypocrite is a person who prays slowly in congregation and prays fast when they're on their own what happened then is that the Muslim community said see he's a hypocrite I saw him praying at home he prayed very fast by that token I'm the biggest hypocrite I'll admit it myself I'm the biggest hypocrite but tell me now isn't it better that somebody comes to Mosque and even hypocritically prays rather than not praying what is better isn't it better that my child comes to the Mosque and hypocritically prays rather than not praying for at least then he will awaken he will have a chance to awaken at a future date how can the prophet be so careless the fact is that the prophet did say this we have not understood what the prophet was saying the prophet was asking a person to judge his own self not to judge another he's saying if you pray quickly at home and pray slowly in the Mosque then know that your status is not right and you need to reform your own status not for Adif to judge his brothers and say he's a hypocrite when it came to that the prophet said when you see your brother even if they are 70 excuses for them even if your eyes see something wrong that your brother is doing tell your eyes that you are lying to me he can never do that such a thing how can the prophet be so careless the fact is that we have moved away from the truth and in our want for being the truthful and intellectually sharp notions we have abandoned the truth all together so we are thinking and we don't even understand the very basics of what the prophet had taught us we need to look at the example of these beautiful people the way in which they lived their open heartedness their benevolence their magnanimity and the way in which they were in sync with the principles of truth and growth we come to those people who actually found this beautiful truth with today will be the narration but when Hur left for the camp of Imam Hussain he was accompanied by his son Ali his son Bukair his brother and his servant four five of them defected and they went to the camp of Hussain Ibn Ali look at these people give your life for Hussain Ibn Ali Bukair goes within the battlefield he fights kills many people returns and he says oh father is there a possibility of you giving me a sip of water so that I may regain my strength and engage once again with the enemies of God he said ask not for water or child and if you are successful the grandfather of this man will quench you personally with his own hands Bukair stepped once again within the battlefield Bukair went and he fought gallantly when he was struck upon his head he called out oh father come to my aid the scene is this in the Makatil Hor does not fall to the earth and here is the cry of his child he straightens his back lifts his head begins to smile through pride he looks towards the right and towards the left at the Sahaba of Usain did you see the battle of my child did you see how gloriously he fell from his mount he is smiling radiating with his he says oh child you have done well for your father you have made me worthy in front of Usain his child broke into a smile he said are you witnessing the grandfather of Usain he said yes the prophet of Allah has come with a go child I am soon to follow my spirit to Harley and we we I we we with Aray I لكنه لا يوجد شيء في احد زمانة اعتقدت انه كتنا افسوص ناق كتنا افسوص ناق حالت

Did you know, Britain's nuclear deterrence is reliant on just one letter? Well technically is actually four identical letters given to the captains of the four vanguard class ballistic missile submarines. The letters which are written by whoever is the prime minister of the UK this week is thought to have won the following statements. Retaliate with nuclear weapons, not retaliate, to use their own judgement or place the submarine under an allied country's command if possible. Immediately before writing the letter the PM is explained to what damage a Trident missile could cause. The letter is stored inside a safe box that only the submarine's captain has access to. Interestingly no one apart from the writer will ever know what each prime minister has written in the letter as after they have served their time it is destroyed. It kind of makes you wonder what each prime minister has actually written and whether it or doesn't follow their public stance. Let's hope we'll never need to open that envelope in anger.


for jaskiescasebrakes.com coming to you live from the national in Chicago. We're having a good time here. Here is the final filler pack we got to do to unlock that 1986 FLIR brake. That's gonna be pretty nice. So let's do the brake first. We're giving away 10 spots, the final 10 spots in that brake. We're gonna make it sweat it out a little bit by doing the brake itself before we do the randomizing. Here's everyone's names right here. Thanks, good luck. There's all the teams for the pack brake that we're about to do. So one dice roll will be for the brake, second dice roll will be different dice roll will be for the giveaway. Five and one, six times for names and teams. One, two, three, four, five and a one, six and final time. Five and a one, six times and six and final time for the teams. We've got the Denver Nuggets down to the Pistons. They're not copy those names here. Let's copy the names too after six times. There we go. So that was Aaron down to Kevin. Alright, here's the first half of the list right here and there's a second half of the list right there. No trade windows. Let's just get right to it. It's alphabetized by team. I don't have a printer next to me so we're not printing ripping. We're just ripping. Alright, there you go. Yeah, just catch up on my hot dog. That's fine. I don't mind. I won't be hot dog shamed. I'm proud of it. I'm okay with that. I'm fine with it. Don't get too fancy. Well, I appreciate the offer FSU. Try all the time, sometimes. Try all the time, man. We have high standards here. I don't even know what you sound like. You need to send like an audition tape in, multi-level interviews before we even put, we just don't put anyone on the air. But I appreciate the offer. But you don't get to where we are by just having any old Tom Dick and Harry end up on the live stream.  Alright, that's it. Let's go over here. Let's grab everybody's names. There's some new dice. There's the new list. Let's roll it. This is the moment you've been waiting for and randomize it one out of five six times. Six times. One, two, three, four, five, and sixth and final time. So it's only the top ten. So we've got six right here. There's six times. It's only the top ten after six and it's the final ten. Good luck. So now from 11 on down, that's sad time. Sorry, Aaron. Sorry everybody. Appreciate you taking the risk though. It happens. But happy times for the top ten because you're in Nicholas, John, Robert, Aaron, Ryan, John again, Kevin, Russell, John, and Adam. Congrats to the top ten.  We'll see you for that in the next video. I'm Joe Jaspy. I'll see you next time for the next one. Bye-bye.


Hi everyone! We hope you're looking forward to your first week. We are your SU officers, Molly, Charlotte and Lucy. This video is all about Welcome Week with advice for how to make the most of it. Use the support that is available. You don't get a better degree for doing it alone. Read. As much as you can, anything. Doesn't even have to be course related. It will improve your ability to concentrate on long papers, exams and assignments. Find your local supermarkets, public transport routes, social areas and in gens. Also, have a nosy on social media to find out more about us and your campus reps. Now this is for everyone. To get yourself prepared for first week, have a look at the Welcome Week timetables. You'll have one for your course and one for us, the Student Union. When do you help available from the university? For instance, they can help with mental health, careers, money advice and academic advice. Have a good nosy at the titles that are surrounding us right now to see the full range of support that is available. Stricted many aspects of life right now. However, it has provided us a great opportunity to be able to connect you all on Discord, regardless of campus. Groups and Liberation Networks are especially excited about this. Use your social circles, that's what friends are for and they're often the most understanding but there's no need to rush into this right away because they'll develop throughout the time at university. However, loneliness and homesickness can be most common among students, especially this year. Trying to join local clubs, groups, societies and our Liberation Networks. Too much for some people, so make good use of Molly's good mood mornings during Welcome Week. There'll be yoga, meditation, a book club and more. Student Union, we are here to help you have the best time at university. We can offer independent advice if you need someone to talk to. We are also the place to go to if you want to take part in fun events, campaign for change or join a group or Liberation Network. Go and check out the other videos on this page which offer information on some of the other key areas at the university. We know there is a lot of information to take on Joy of Welcome Week so there is a checklist with all the important tasks that you need to complete. Just look for the My Checklist icon on your hub app.


In the future, if we want AI systems to live amongst us, then we're going to get past the stage where those systems need to be programmed for every task they do. And we're going to get to the stage where AI systems learn from their environment. And that's really what's meant by deep learning or emergent AI. Systems that can take in relatively unstructured information from thousands of instances and turn it into knowledge about how to do something. So for example, a robot on an assembly line can learn from seeing millions of bottles, how to fill different size and shape bottles, or a household robot can learn from watching the human in the house, how to take care of household tasks. This is very exciting because it means that robots and other AI devices are going to be able to collaborate with us. And in turn, that means that robots will do what they do best, will do what we do best. And that will make for smarter, more effective robots and smarter, more effective people.


Extracting the signal from the noise, it's the Cube. Covering VMworld 2015, brought to you by VMware and its ecosystem sponsors. Now, your hosts, John Furrier and Dave Vellante. Okay, welcome everyone. We are here live in San Francisco for VMworld 2015. This is Silicon Angles theCUBE, our flagship program. We go out to the events and extract the signal noise. I'm John Furrier, my co-host Dave Vellante, our sixth year covering VMworld with the Cube and a lot of action happening. Certainly awesome first day kickoff last night and this weekend, a lot of things going on. DevOps conference, a lot of people coming in early. Very social scene, Dave. And we got a packed lineup of two sets here at VMworld and we got going on here with the main cube desk here. We have our director set to our left and we're gonna have lots of coverage acquiring all the content we possibly can sharing that with everyone watching. Go to the Twitter hashtag VMworld or join the conversation, crowdchat.net slash VMworld. We're looking for questions and bringing that to you but the big news here obviously is VMworld's kicking off. The VMworld ecosystem, the VMworld ecosystem Dave is under massive transformation. A lot of news about EMC Federation, the role of VMware and also obviously a slew of product announcements and obviously revenue with NSX and a bunch of other great stuff here. But again, six years now looking back, is there anything that you see in terms of the patterns around this whole marketplace? Obviously we've been covering a variety of the tech events throughout the world and certainly there's a huge amount of change. What's your take on this? Is it the underlying infrastructure? Is it virtualization? Is it containerization? All this is happening around developers and infrastructure and certainly the enterprises is totally under massive transformation. Well John, let me just say first say it's our sixth year now at VMworld and at Moscone, actually one year in Vegas but the customers are streaming in. The summer ends here. The fall starts, the season starts now and this is just an amazing show for VMworld or VMware and we've seen a huge transformation. When we first started the show back in 2010 it was all about the ecosystem. It was all about a dollar spent on VMware licenses turns into eight, 10, 15, 20 dollars for the ecosystem. Now it's really about diversifying beyond the hypervisor, management, cloud, containers. VMware now is a six and a half billion dollar company growing at about 10%. Amazon really wasn't a factor back in 2010 John when we started doing this. Amazon's growing at 70, 80% a year and it's about the same size, maybe even a little bit bigger. Huge dynamic there. You've got the whole Elliott management, EMC ownership thing. Pat Gelsinger was on CNBC this morning. No comments, I don't know what to make of that. But you've got a core set of customers that are now looking at many more options. The other thing I'll add, back then John in the pre 2010, it was all about I had poor server utilization, I can virtualize my infrastructure and it's a no brainer from an ROI standpoint. Now it's much more about management, other business value, deeper business integration. Little fuzzier and a lot more options. Open stack, Docker, Amazon, Azure. So a completely different competitive environment and for customers, they got to make some bets. One of the things that we always talk about is the cloud impact on VMware. And the thing that's coming up over and over again is this notion of hybrid cloud. And hybrid cloud, Dave, is really changing the game and forcing people's hands. We're seeing the growth of Docker containers. Certainly putting a new stake in the ground around how people are developing in the enterprise. One is more lightweight type applications. But also hybrid cloud, really as we found out from asking everyone who comes on the cube what the hell is hybrid cloud? And the answer seems to be consistent. It's not a product, it's not a category. It's an outcome of two clouds. Private, on-premise infrastructure and software, private cloud, and then public cloud. Together, the tooling has to work across both sets of environments. This seems to be the mega trend. And if you remember in 2010 when Paul Moritz laid out the original architecture of the VMware ecosystem, it was really much the stack that we're kind of seeing today. Again, playing out with different elements. But this has changed the game for a lot of the players. And Amazon has come on the scene with producing numbers. They're going to do seven billion. We sometimes speculate more. Wikibon research has put out new public cloud market share. What does all this mean for the customers out there who are trying to squint through all the details on the vendor hype around who's got what? I mean, do people actually have the products? Do they have the solutions? And is it still about storage? Is it still about virtualization or has the battlefield shifted, Dave? Well, I think we're gone from a world of purpose-built application silos to silos of cloud. If you look at how many SaaS products are out there, you've got your HR cloud, you've got your marketing cloud, you've got your sales cloud, and you've got infrastructure as a service, people struggling to figure out, okay, do I go stay on-premises? Do I go off-premises? Do I go public cloud? It's really expensive. So we're starting to see a huge fragmentation. You know who the number one cloud vendor is in our latest study? Other. So it's a very international. I've never heard of other. Yes, other. And what would it be in the other business? So the point is it's a highly fragmented market even though Amazon is the big gorilla and interestingly enough, Microsoft, if you add up, infrastructure as a service, platform as a service and software as a service, Microsoft is number one, Amazon's number two, Amazon's number one and infrastructure as a service. So customers have a lot of choices to make and fragmentation unfortunately seems to be the new watchword and then you have all this innovation coming in with things like containers. I think the bottom line for me, John, it's all about the developers. So my question back to you is, what's VMware doing about the developer ecosystem and the whole DevOps meme? Well, I think the DevOps thing has become so explosive right now and I think VMware is trying to grope for an answer there. I think one of the things that's clear is VMware as a company sees DevOps as definitely the future for development. No doubt about it. And DevOps is kind of the word that's kind of evolving from hardcore early days, web-scale companies that essentially had to do the development and the ops kind of in parallel and we all know who they are. It's Netflix, it's Yahoo, it's Google, it's Facebook. These are the leaders that have essentially been cloud native. Okay, the word cloud native and DevOps are going hand in hand and what's very clear to me is that cloud native is the path of the future. The problem is is that for enterprises out there, Dave, to implement DevOps requires a complete mindset shift and the fact that they have legacy investments ultimately is driving this whole hybrid cloud. What is hybrid cloud conversation? So you can't just bolt in DevOps because you got to deal with legacy.  It's no problem for them but if you're a large enterprise that has two decades of investment in infrastructure servers and all the good stuff that's been involved in the legacy side, that's under transformation. That is the quote transformation message. So for me, DevOps is about a new style of development and this is definitely the future for the enterprise. So VMware is fighting battles on multiple fronts. Obviously we talked about Amazon and Azure and the cloud. You've got the traditional enterprise IT, IBM and HP in particular going hard after OpenStack, even though they have a huge presence at this show, they can't just walk away from the VMware ecosystem but as I said before, to me, John, for VMware from a strategic standpoint, it's all about diversifying beyond the hypervisor which is becoming commoditized. Pat Gelsinger probably punch us if we say the C word on set in front of them but that's a fact and really Microsoft has perpetuated that but it's all about V cloud air, it's about VSAN, NSX, AirWatch, management. Try to find new revenue streams and add new value beyond the hypervisor itself. Yeah and to me the big thing for customers that are here at the show is where is the risk? Because there's now a new dynamic going on with this transformation is that if you're in the financial services, you might have exposure if you don't implement properly in the DevOps way. If you're in say healthcare, there's certainly a cost driver and in any other enterprise, there are factors now that are on the table that are substantive and real around getting off, sitting on the sidelines with respect to DevOps and cloud native. So I'm seeing a huge conversation around, okay I need a path beyond hybrid public cloud, I need to start deploying in production. We certainly saw that in the world, the big data with Hadoop, it's not just the end all be all silver bullet for the enterprises, it's one feature of an overall architectural shift. And I think the thing that I'm looking for in this show is what are those architectural shifts and what's the product market look like and ultimately from a customer standpoint, they don't really care as long as it works, right? So we're seeing things like integrated systems back on the table again, engineered systems, appliances. At the end of the day, that is okay for customers if they can bring in an appliance in, that essentially does a lot of things. So NSX is something we're going to watch. We're going to also look at the DevOps integrated stack. So if you're a customer, you've got to look at this and saying, okay I have risk, I got to manage that. If I'm not deploying a certain kind of cloud native baseline, that's going to be a problem. The second thing we're looking at right now is what does the cloud look like? Is it heavy? Is it lightweight? And this is where the Kubernetes, this is where the container conversation comes in. With the Kubernetes and containers, that kind of teases out a lightweight cloud, almost like service-oriented architectures and web services back in the day. When you had to look at things and say, I want to deploy a lightweight infrastructure that's almost service catalog based, this is ultimately going to be some of the things that we're going to talk about as, okay this is cloud but it's really kind of a bloated and or somewhat not lightweight. Let's also talk about the strategy and how that's evolved since we first started doing theCUBE here in 2010. With Sun's acquisition of Oracle, Larry Ellison trying to become the iPhone of the data center, VMware and EMC's approach is always the ecosystem. Leverage that ecosystem but now you're having all kinds of interesting discussions about VMware acquiring EMC or EMC acquiring VMware. Amazon is really trying to build out an end-to-end data management strategy. Packaged as services so is there a trend now coming back to that vertically integrated structure? What does that mean for VMware? Can it leverage its ecosystem? What about its partnership strategy? We're going to have D. Raj on here from Nutri antics, right? They started sort of really VMware strong, strong affinity. We were at .next earlier this year. Talking about, okay how do I diversify in multi-cloud? What about open stack? So all those things have changed. What's your take on, does VMware have to become more vertically integrated? Clearly we're seeing some of that with vSAN, you're certainly seeing that with NSX. Is that the trend? Is that the direction? Yeah, a couple things on that. There's a couple things happening in parallel right now that's the perfect storm of innovation. One is the all-flash market is certainly disrupting some of the SLA requirements for customers. Two, the scale-out distributed storage architecture with public cloud is another one. So these are kind of under the hood, kind of dynamics at the engine of innovation. On top of that you have market forces. And I said last year on theCUBE that, with respect to EMC and their fight in the marketplace, certainly with Elliott Capital, I call the Gordon Gecko of hedge funds, trying to decimate an established company. But that speaks to the market, right? So you have under the hood changes. Then you have macro factors. And I said last year on theCUBE that EMC shouldn't be worried about pure storage, nibbling away kind of at the vSAN market. Certainly they're going to go public. They're going to do okay. I'm not sure it's worth $4 billion in my opinion. But pure storage doesn't put EMC out of business. Amazon can actually put EMC out of business. So to me, the big thing is Amazon. What Amazon is showing is that end-to-end integrated stack works. If you look at Oracle and some of these other companies are coming out, engineered systems are not a bad word. Now what VMware has to do, and this is what's interesting about the Elliott Capital thing, it might force VMware to take the lead dog position to be an end-to-end play. End-to-end meaning from data center to the chip at the edge of the network. To me, that play does not exist. It's kind of awkward right now with VMware. So to me, that is a big deal. Okay, what about cloud? We met with Dave Donatello. You and I had a one-on-one with him in June and he made a very strong statement. If you don't have a public cloud strategy, you're toast. Now, VMware's cloud strategy, public cloud strategy is vCloud Air. vCloud Air, a lot of rumors floating around about how much traction it has or doesn't have. We've sat down with some of the principles of vCloud Air. Is vCloud Air in your view getting it done? That's a definitely interesting question. What is getting it done mean? I think right now the winds are shifting. So I look at vCloud as a boat that's out there right now. If the winds are shifting, which I think they are on an end-to-end basis, vCloud could shift in the wrong direction. Ultimately, VMware has to make the call on that. They're stuck right now in the middle between these shifts. And ultimately, I think VMware has to have a cloud. There's no doubt in my mind that they have to have a cloud position in here, public cloud and have the private cloud. vCloud seems to be a fit form, but I just don't see the traction on the market side. So I want to get more data on that, but I just don't see it. I don't see people saying, hey, I'm rolling out tons of vCloud. Let me give you my take. I think right now it's a tweener. I think to compete in the cloud, you either have to have massive volume, drive down marginal economics like Amazon and Microsoft are doing, or you have to have differentiable advantage up the stack, whether it's database or the middleware layer. I think that VMware's got to figure that out. So that's something that I'm going to be watching for at the show, along with a lot of other announcements, SDDC, everything, right? What's going on with Evo, Rack and Evo Rails and NSX traction? I want to talk to some customers and see what they're doing with software defined networking. And we're going to be covering it. Yeah, and the other thing we're going to be covering is this whole startup ecosystem. We're going to have on tomorrow here on the director set to our left is going to be a VC, a bunch of VCs coming on. We got Jerry Chen coming in from Greylock, Pete Sancini from NEA, Steve Herrod's going to be on, all our VMware alum. We're going to have some announcements for some other folks that are turning into VCs, X Cisco, X VMware. So you're seeing the V-Mafia start to move into the investment realm and what you're going to start to see in my opinion is a slew of startups. Because I think this is going to be a huge opportunity in the enterprise. There's certainly a bubble going on on the consumer side, but in the enterprise side, there's so much opportunity. You're going to see some new startups be born and we're going to talk to a lot of startups that are already out there and certainly pre-IPO companies. This is the white space. The question right now for me on the startup side is, what's the white space? Where are the opportunities for the startups to innovate? How long can they get up and running with this cloud? It's pretty easy to get into the business, but then the scale from there will be a whole different ball game. So again, we're going to talk to the VCs. We're going to talk to some of the startups. And again, I want to get that kind of perspective because ultimately that's the kind of the canary in the coal mine is what the startups are doing. So again, the Cube is here live in San Francisco, Dave. We're going to kick it off with, you know, three days of live coverage from two sets to our left is our director set. Here's the main Cube anchor desk and we're going to bring you all the action. Again, join the conversation. The hashtag is VMworld. Go to crowdchat.net. It's our new engagement app. We're going to be taking questions there. Crowdchat.net slash VMworld. Join the conversation. This is the Cube. We'll be right back with more coverage here in the lobby of Moscone North in San Francisco. This is the Cube. I'm John Furrier with Dave Vellante. We'll be right back.


Hello, this is Steven Nesheva, and I'm here to help you out with the visualizing thermodynamic surfaces, CGI. So when you get into the Jupiter hub, this is what you'll be looking at. There's the ideal gas law, and there's the van der Waals equation, and there's the expression for the percent error. So those equations 1, 2, 3, that you were to copy into your comp book. Also, units for energy, pressure, temperature, and volume in the leader atmosphere unit system, the energy is leader atmospheres, pressures, atmospheres, temperatures, Kelvin, volume is leaders. Let's see the gas constant has a value of 0.082 in the system, and the values of the van der Waals parameters A and B. Well, you need to go to the Wikipedia site or somewhere else for that, and I've looked those up for argon, and I've done the conversion for argon, which says that A will be equal to 1.338. So I'm gonna go ahead and modify this cell here, so that's 1.338, and B was 0.032, and that's in that unit system for argon, and but let's see before I do that, I should execute this first cell, which is a shift enter, okay? And now I'm going on to this one. Let's see, r is 0.082, but remember in our instructions here, I wanted a temperature of 300 and a volume of 25, so I'm gonna change those parameters accordingly. Let's see, I've got one mole, everything else looks pretty good here, so I'm gonna go ahead and execute that, and one way to be sure that we've got everything right is that the ideal gas came out to be pretty close to one atmosphere. All right, now I'm gonna generate a range of volumes, and you can see that Lenspace is gonna give me 5 to 40 liters, but the instructions said go from 10 to 40, so I'll change that to 10, and execute that one, and I can see, oh, it started at 10, ended up at 40, everything is good there. Let's see, you get the pressure of an ideal gas, and I think I don't have to do anything new here, I'm just good to go, and so that generates that graph, that's kind of nice. This is a boil isotherm, of course, pressure on this axis and volume on that axis, and let's see, and well, if I were doing this for real, I would need to do a boil isotherm, or of a Vanderbals gas, and get the air, but I want to go on and make sure I get to the grids, so I'm gonna do this. Let's see, the instructions also said to go from 250 to 350, so I'm gonna change that, and let's see, oh, the volume is again from 10 to 40, so I'll go ahead and do that, that looks pretty good. Now I'll calculate the graph and plot the thermodynamic surface, and that's what we get, and the other thing I just want to show you is that if you click on the surface and hold down the mouse button, you can rotate it around, and that's the basic idea.
