RftARnq7Gmk | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RftARnq7Gmk | Sailor Moon Merch I Bought In Japan! | well if you saw the thumbnail and you clicked on this video for that thumbnail then you know exactly what this video is about hello welcome to my channel sailor Guardians I went to Japan back in October I came home with an entire suitcase full of Sailor Moon items so today I'm going to unbox that for you finally and share what I got from Japan many of the items in this collection are pretty hard to find or are somewhat rare so anytime I can find these items while I'm in Japan when I'm traveling over there then I definitely want to pick them up now even though I paid for a flight to get over there it tends to be much cheaper to purchase items there in Yen than it is to try to get them off of a reseller here in the United States or pay for international shipping so I have a lot to show you today let's go ahead and get started with this pile of manga Tada now I believe this is the last collection of manga that I needed to get in order to have every single addition from Japan as well as America all the way from the 1990s up to now so I actually found these on the mandra website these were listed as an item that was available so I went in the store in naano Broadway to be able to find these these must have been owned by a collector because these are the first edition of the original Japanese manga from the 1990s and they're in such good condition for being as old as they are not all of them have the Obie the little piece of paper that wraps around the manga but many of them do and all of them have the original color sleeves on the outside of the manga you can tell that they weren't red weren't open very much if at all because the binding is still very much intact and doesn't look very warn there is a little bit of wear and tear around the corners but not too bad honestly given that they are so old so something that I wanted to show you and why I really really wanted to get the first additions of these is because I don't think the first and second had these but starting on the third manga we have these posters these are little fold out posters that come in every single one of these first edition manga in Japan and these have pretty rare art on them so I love being able to own these in my collection and it honestly looks like they were maybe looked at once like they're they're in such good condition so I'm really happy that I was able to get this each of them has the poster on the inside of them so I would love to do a separate video All About manga now that I have all the Japanese ones as well as all the American editions and re-releases so that I can show you the differences and kind of give you an explanation of how they compare to each other and how to find the best versions let me know if that is something that you would be interested in that's a pretty poster yeah let me know if that's something you would be interested in I would love to do a whole manga Roundup and comparison now that I have all these one of the things I've been focusing on more now that I've kind of caught up with my newer age Sailor Moon colle collection is vintage items as well as items that you can get out of a crane game in Japan so anytime I see really inexpensive items available for sale in good condition that were previously owned then I do pick those up so I got these miniaturely tablets all of them are in great condition unopened very very cute all three of these are from the miniaturely tablet saor Moon Series 5 there's a whole bunch of these these two were I believe these were available in a crane game I wanted to grab them because I found them for a really inexpensive price two very cute little plushies these are from saor Moon Cosmos so they are pretty new and both of them come with these stickers on the back of the logo tags the little hang tags somehow I had managed to never collect this little petite Cara character petite charara character of Sailor Moon I have the white-haired version that looks very similar to this which I believe came out at the Museum or the exhibition many years ago but this one is the blonde version now there is another blonde Princess Serenity petite cha but her hands are in a different gesture so I wanted to get this one where her hands are clasped together and it also comes with this cute little Moon stick so I picked her up she's brand new I'll have to open her and put her in my collection I've also been collecting these little atsu characters uh these are girls memories figures that came out uh throughout the past few years they look really good for such teeny tiny little characters and I believe these are the last three that I needed to add to my collection in order to have all of them so now that I found these three while I was in Japan I officially have all of them so I'm pretty excited about that it's nice to be able to finish one of the lines one of the collections so that I don't have to uh keep searching for them I don't know why but this one is insanely expensive on places like eBay and merari if you can find a legitimate one I was really happy that I found her in Japan I think she was like 1,500 Yen it was is a pretty great price for such a cute little character I have gone down the collecting Rabbit Hole y'all and I have started collecting dolls I know I shouldn't I know I said I wouldn't but these are really cute these are very very cute I really like the style of these uh these little miniature Dolls are from the Sailor Moon World release which happened in the early 2010s late 2000s uh there's several of them in the entire collection I believe I think I'm going to keep the in the box but in this collection this series right here we have Pluto Uranus and Neptune and then I also got this one which includes this change of clothes she's adorable the Sailor Venus uh this one includes all the inner sailor Guardians and then they also come with their school uniforms really really cute these are fairly easy to find at mandra and other used anime stores in Japan a lot of people I think resold them however they're pretty expensive uh I was was able to find these two for a decent price compared to some of the other ones and it might just be because they're more common but some of them are very very pricey like up into the hundreds which I think is kind of crazy given that this one was 1300 Yen and this one cost 1680 so keep that in mind whenever you're going shopping for classic dolls vintage dolls I've also started my collection of vintage Sailor Moon compacts and Wands so this one I was able to find for a decent price as well at a mandra store uh I used Google Translate to ask the employees if these devices were working and they were able to confirm that they work with new batteries installed uh they don't have batteries in them right now but one of these days I'll probably open it since it's already been opened and test it out so that I can make sure that they work but they did tell me that they worked so I was happy about that and this box is in Fairly good condition the front window has not been altered it doesn't look dirty or stained or cracked or anything anything there's some scuffing around the edges but that's not too bad for vintage item so it looks pretty good I also picked up the moon stick so I believe this is the first edition be careful when you're trying to find one of these I did a lot of research a lot of them don't come with the little gemstones like you'll find these two little Windows empty these little holes in the display so keep an eye out for that and try to find one that has like a nice box this box does have some damage around the edges as well but it is in Fairly good condition and there's not a lot of scuffing like on the moon stick itself so I've been doing a lot of research and studying to learn how to find like proper wands and compacts from the 1990s and on another item I've been investing more in is trying to find really good condition boxes like new boxes or fairly new quality boxes that have the games in them so here we have a super famic con Sailor Moon game that I haven't collected yet so I'm intending to buy a older console so that I can play all of these and be able to check them out maybe I'll do some like live streams of playing them so I got this super famicom one I also got Sailor Moon another story which is a very popular one this is also super famicom and this one's brand new and it came with the card some of these do come with collectible cards so I was really happy to find that and given the exchange rate like that's not too bad for a game that's okay it's not new but it's in pretty good condition it does say B C and C for like the casing the game cart itself Etc but honestly like Japan seems to judge their used products pretty harshly like this looks great so I don't think it's a b a c a c I also picked up this game boy one my friend has a Game Boy so I'm able to play Old Game Boy games and this is a Sailor Moon R game so I'm looking forward to checking that one out as well so my intention is to get all of the classic games with their boxes and original like guide books and cards if I can find the trading cards with them I would like to have a full collection like a full library of all the Sailor Moon games I think so far I have eight of the different Sailor Moon games there's quite a few so these are my newest three somehow I managed to like never collect this item but this is the Rainbow Moon chalice and this one I believe is a little clip case yes it's the antique style clip case this is very very heavy uh this came out many years ago but it comes with all the cute little paper clips inside of it and it has this interior design that's very shiny very sparkly with this pearlized paint up at the top I just thought it's very beautiful I do have of course the propa and a few other versions of the Rainbow Moon chalice but I wanted to get this one cuz well quite frankly I just didn't have it yet so I found it for a great price it looks brand new so I decided to go ahead and pick it up now since I didn't have it yet it's definitely heavy but this is a really beautiful piece that you can add to your your like supers collection I would recommend and then I got a bunch of stuff from the Sailor Moon store now this is not everything that I got from the Sailor Moon store but this is like what I could grab in a handful this is a brand new shirt that they were selling at the saor Moon store for the 6th anniversary it's not the best print quality and this is a fairly large shirt on me I did get a large in this shirt and it's very heavy cotton it's very very soft so honestly I can probably use this as a sleep shirt because it's so comfortable and it's nice and thick too so you won't get cold when you're wearing it I really like it it's like it feels heavy duty which is great cuz it's kind of expensive uh this is the kind of print quality that will tear so it's something that I'm going to be careful with these clips came out with a Sailor Moon store collection that featured Sailor Moon Cosmos Edition items there's also an inner sailor Guardian version but I really wanted Pluto and Saturn they're couple of my favorites so I got the outers for Sailor Moon Cosmos we also have these really cute stamps so this is one of the stamps that I decided to purchase at the Sal Moon store they had all of them in stock when I was there but I do believe these are pretty popular so I don't know if they're still in stock now these necklaces were also introduced at the Sailor Moon store fairly inexpensive really really good prices for these so that probably tells me that they're not going to be like real gold and heavy duty silver but they're so sparkly so of course I got my favorite outer Guardians we got Pluto's Talisman as well as Saturn's GL slave and then I got the ginu at least I think that's supposed to be the Ginsu show this legendary silver Crystal so I thought these were really pretty they had one for each of the Sailor Guardians so if you wanted to you could collect all of them I have two of these here because I am using one and I am saving the other so this is the brand new store original fragrance for black lady I'm pretty impressed with it I thought that it smelled really really yummy and it is not overpowering I was a little worried that it would be I'll put the fragrance notes uh down below so you can read those yourself the reason why I purchased this in Japan is because fragrances perfumes are you can't ship those overseas legally via air because they're considered Hazmat so I was able to take these home in checked bags on an airplane myself but you have to check them and you have to claim them at Customs so trying to find these perfumes while you live in America if they're from Japan is extremely hard which is why I decided to go ahead and stock up while I was in Japan and they were available at the store there was a limit to three per person and I ended up buying extras for all of my Sailor Moon folks on the internet too who live in America so I had my husband and my best friend and my best friend's husband helped me by them so I was able to get everybody what they wanted this Sailor Moon store keychain is a freebie that you get for spending x amount of money at the Sailor Moon store you have to get a point card and then you get one of these for free this stained glass version keychain sold out online like instantly but they had them in stock at the store you could only purchase one per person per visit so I ended up getting myself one thought it was very very pretty this is a little card case that I picked up with Sailor Pluto on the front of it this is from the San Rio collaboration these were available at the Sailor Moon store however very very popular so they sold out pretty quickly and this is a folding mirror hi this folding mirror also came out during the 6th anniversary the mirror was not as popular so pretty easy to grab one of these I find them to be extremely useful like if I want to put one on my computer desk these are so special not only is healer my favorite sailor star Guardian but I also love these earrings because my husband purchased these for me he secretly went to the Sailor Moon store without my knowledge and purchased these while I wasn't looking and I don't know how he knew to get the Healer colors but he did and I'm so impressed so I was very happy with these luckily they are pierced and I have pierced ears so I'm really excited to be able to wear these I think they're super beautiful and luckily they aren't super expensive from the Sailor Moon store but these are such a cute little piece to have from the Sailor Moon Cosmos line way to go Mr sailor snubs he did such a good job the Sailor Moon store usually has some really pretty hand towels because the BS in Japan tend to not have any kind of paper towels so you carry your own hand towel to dry your hands when you're traveling around Japan this one with Sailor Saturn on it is just beautiful I love that we have the little fuku down here it's so cute and then we have this gorgeous image of Sailor Saturn as well as her glaive and purple is my favorite color a couple more hand towels that I wanted to grab from the Sailor Moon store uh one featuring the inner Guardians and one featuring the outer Guardians these are from gashapons which were available at the the Tokyo Sailor Moon store so these gashapons are little cord holders I got many of the Guardians uh here we have Jupiter and Venus they're so cute I love that they hold the little cords in their hands I also got Uranus Pluto uh my friend ended up grabbing Pluto for me I was super excited about that and she got me Saturn yay my favorite girls I also got this beautiful silver-haired princess Serenity so I was really happy that I got a variety one thing I was dying to get while I was there was the glitter and glamour of Pluto and Saturn Saturn had just come out in the crane games while I was there uh we were lucky enough to have somebody grab that for us out of a crane game um hilarious story so if you want to hear that whole story check out my Instagram where I posted a picture of her and then I also found Sailor Pluto she was available in one of the reseller stores so I picked her up without having to play the crane game very excited about that and pretty inexpensive straight from from Japan too this glitter and glamour line is some of my faves I fully intend to get like a qet an extra qet so I can have her staff and her glaive and be able to put those in their hands you've seen these on my channel before but these are the Sailor Moon Rose bath salts which are available at the Sailor Moon store I won't go into detail with these since you've already seen them and I've already given you a little bit of a review of those another Gosha I was very excited about was this series of little keychains these are from the San Rio collaboration these are the first keychains but we do have outer sailor Guardians that just released in December as well so here we have Chibi Chibi Sailor Mars she's so cute Sailor Jupiter Sailor Venus Sailor Mercury she was the hardest one for me to get I don't know why but Sailor Mercury was very hard to get and Sailor Moon I won't tell you how many times I played this same gachaan machine in order to get all six of these Guardians with their cute little Sanrio characters but it was a lot it was a lot I picked up this beautiful trading card from mandra love Sailor Saturn and this prism one is really beautiful this keychain is also from the San Rio collab this was available at the Sailor Moon store bunch of random items this was a freebie from the Sailor Moon store I believe since I'm a part of the Sailor Moon fan club maybe they asked me if I was a part of the fan club and then I got a couple of bonus items this and the keychain that I showed you previously so I'm pretty sure this was a free before the fan club uh my friend gave me his copy of the newsletter cuz he doesn't collect it but he's a member so thank you to my friend for giving me your newsletter so excited and these are all a bunch of stickers that I picked up as well we have the outer guardians from the San Rio collab so so cute I also got Uranus and Neptune as these jumbo stickers Venus and Jupiter satsuna and hotaru very very cute this Sailor Moon store sticker was also available for the 6th anniversary got a couple of those and these two very pretty stickers of a couple of my favorite characters Mars and Pluto a hair Barret of course this is Neo Queen Serenity's Crown very pretty Barret and this acrylic I was so happy to see it in stock at the Sor Moon store because this sold out on the internet so so fast I was very sad that I wasn't able to get it online but when I saw it in the store I was like sweet I was finally able to get my cute little acrylic stand of Princess Serenity and Princess small lady serenity with their wings another acrylic stand of the inner Guardians on this really beautiful like ombre rainbow colored stand this really pretty colored draw string bag came out from the music festival series uh which was this music festival that happened um I want to say a couple years ago a few years ago so I like the drawring bag I thought it was pretty figured I could use it for something here in my collection room this tote bag does not have anything on the interior however it is lined which I I appreciated given how pricey it was but I love this 6th anniversary tote bag that was also available at the store this does say salor Moon store on the back of it I love how bright pink it is it is very very bright pink might come off as a little purple on the video but it's it's a bright pink and the print quality on here is very very well done so it's not really canvas but it's pretty close but it's a nice thick really pretty tote bag so I love it I think I'm going to use this for shopping quite often there is a tag on it as well with the really pretty 6th anniversary art sometimes I grab up some of these cute little vintage items from mandra if I have some extra coins left over so I found this for 500 yen that's like a little less than five bucks this is is a really cute vintage article this is a ticket holder or in my case I use this for receipts when I'm traveling especially if I have to expense those to a business I'll put all of my receipts in here and sort them that was an idea that I stole from my best friend she told me that she does that and I was like that's smart I'm going to start doing that so this is a ticket holder but yeah receipt holder for me another vintage item I believe this is like a gift bag from mandra here we have a really cute happy New Year postcard featuring the inner Guardians with these cute little Neco ears that was from a collaboration this sticker sheet is just gorgeous so had to have it love Sailor Moon Cosmos stickers I put these all over the place especially on computers so had to have them I also got the outer Guardians as well of course I do love picking up clear files and clear posters some of my favorite items to collect are clear file items this is a clear poster but it's about the same size as a clear file very very pretty these are pencil boards I want to say or jumbo cards this one of Sailor Saturn is beautiful this has been on my list for quite some time so grab that one and I love this art from the 1990s this is one of my favorite art styles when they are in like casual outfits it's so cute so wanted to pick this one up as well I got some more clear files these are from the San Rio collab of course so so cute I think we're on the last item from my haul from Japan and I'm very excited to show you this uh this was something that I just had to get as soon as I saw it I was like I must have this so y'all remember from my last Sailor Moon haul when I found this beautiful cell animation cell of Sailor Saturn so this time I opted to go for one of Sailor Moon now this is in a Cell I believe it's called a Doga Doga uh I ended up I wanted to get a few different pieces of original drawn art of Sailor Moon and I didn't want to go for just anything I wanted to get like specific pieces so I ended up getting three different pieces that were drawn in the 1990s these were for the original Sailor Moon anime and they are used in the animation so this one is a piece of art that features Sailor Moon of course with her Ginsu isio this is absolutely beautiful I want to say this is from the Sailor Moon R movie with her ribbons coming out from her compact as it's placed on her chest it's a just a beautiful beautiful piece I also found this one was very inexpensive I was really happy about this one uh this one of Sailor Pluto is just gorgeous I love the shading that goes into this one it's really beautiful that piece of art is so cool to own and lastly is this one of Sailor Mars doing her a auyo tysan attack really stunning piece I just love I love these pieces of some of my favorite sailor Guardians and I'm so happy to own a piece of History these are one OFA kind and they are absolutely gorgeous so usually I do go for full color cells with backgrounds but the ones I wanted to get were really really pricey so I got these instead and I saved money oh yeah I have one more item to show you oh my gosh I have to show you these Sailor Moon cookies these are Sailor Moon chocolate cookies had to purchase them and now we have to try them I am going to open these because I want to know how they taste but this was a collaboration with Sailor Moon they had several several different cookie types that you could purchase uh you can also find these here in the United States VIA mail order we're going to open them and try one these are the black moon chocolate colot cookies I wanted to try these specifically because they have the outer Guardians on the outer on the outside of the box other than just like the logo in the Box itself there's not much going on into this collab but here's the cookie this is with morang moranga Moraga we're going to try it luckily I don't think these are expired yet please tell me these are not expired yet oh good we're in luck they are not expired yet o it smells good smells like choc these look like little whoopy cookies is that what they're called M that's pretty good they're kind of dry which I was expecting because this is these are packaged items they're not fresh do I have any food in my teeth I will say these okay so even though they're dry since they're not like right out of the oven obviously they do taste better than the super dry cook cookies that you get from the Sailor Moon Museum so they do taste better um I I wanted to get this one because it has that like whipped chocolate cream on the inside of the cookie and I'm a big chocolate person I love chocolate anytime I can get chocolate I'll be happy to eat it so yeah it's not bad I'll definitely like finish this box off not all at once or maybe it will finish it all at once I don't know it depends on how hungry I am this evening but they're pretty good is that everything out of my giant suitcase okay that's not bad I am very happy with everything that I found I'm like holding this half-eaten cookie in my hand I don't want to put it down and like Risk getting cookie stuff all over my collection room I don't want ants we can't have ants I've been very happy with everything that I purchased from Japan it was awesome to be able to go there in person and be able to shop around and find these items a lot of times when you're shopping around akih Habra or Nako Broadway or wherever you're going it kind of feels like a treasure hunt to be able to get all of these items from Sailor Moon and when you find something that's in like good condition doesn't cost too much it just feels so exciting when you're able to find these when I go to the Sailor Moon store and they still have stock of items that I've sold out online long time ago I get so so excited and I'm able to use my point card at the Sailor Moon store and get little bonus items which is always exciting too so if you have never been to Japan or if you're planning to go over there and you're wondering about where to find all of these items I have a post on my Instagram page it's @ salor snubs in order to help you find all of these different items and add them to your own collection I also have several educational tutorials about like how to spot bootlegs

4YBTOy2LJmo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YBTOy2LJmo | IS IT RIGHT FOR COUPLE TO LIVE TOGETHER AFTER TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE PRIOR TO WHITE WEDDING? #couples | hey guys welcome back to my YouTube channel if this is your first time tuning in you're welcome to this YouTube channel thank you so much for clicking through this video we are here again to talk about a very important topic and we believe um that this will impact as many that needs to hear it um blessing and here with my husband I'm Pastor Ben so today we'll be talking about is it right for couple to live together after their traditional marriage prior to white wedding and in this video we are going to be using our experience to encourage us and to explain to us how it is possible or is not possible what you should Engage The principle you should follow to be able to live as couples husband and wife whether after traditional wedding I have or after white wedding just stay back sit back relax and we'll be right back [Music] thank you [Music] now we understand before making this video that there are couples who are having this challenge of proceeding to do uh to come together as husband and wife we live together in the same roof uh they are having this challenge of whether to go ahead or not because of the fear of the Lord they have there are those who after their traditional work marriage they just want to do everything plus the um you just want everything to be okay first before so we live together under the same name yes but we must understand what is most important when it comes to marriage and we are going to be sharing like we said before our own experience now because we we are packed at that time my wife was in Philippines while I was in Japan and so we needed to do this marriage thing so what we did was we sent money home and it's Nigeria to our parents after talking to them how much and the and the prices of things to do the marriage needed the items needed we sent the money for the tradition to the extent had to send money to my own people to travel all the way all the way down to my wife's people's place and be organized the traditional wedding the traditional rights the canopies the Gathering of the people and so the the the the occasion was done in our action what we had was just pictures and videos videos of a celebration of the ceremony and so afterwards within one to two months my wife started processing to join me in Japan now before I think after two months yeah uh application was October [Music] in November I came to Japan in December sorry now because we feared the Lord yeah we were so scared of living in the same group because we were planning our white wedding or we're so scared of staying together in the same roof um living together after when I entered Japan now you know the thing the thing was that we already said once you come we just do the wedding immediately and start living together living but things didn't work out the way we planned because the church that supposed to wear those um at the time they there is no much preparation for that at the time so we had to wait we had to follow the church and timing yeah because the choice especially when it comes to wedding so we have to slow down yeah so they give us a period say May and then I was already in Japan in December and in December 20 2018. I was already in Japan and they are saying that the wedding is in May in May of 2023. I was already in Japan in December 28 2022 yeah yeah and they fixed wedding in May 2023 how we were so scared like that was my biggest fear how are we going to how we supposed to stay in the same roof so because of the fear and everything and we already know the principle we set for this marriage right from the onset during the courtship we we don't want to engage in any form of cohabitation or any form of living like we want to do everything at the same time then come together so um I think during that pressure and I told you to go and stay with yourself my friend yes so I asked things off yeah two years because I was so I know City I went to another city who's still my friends for a month for a month but within that period of staying with your friend we are having all kinds of challenges challenging questions to the extent my neighbor here was he who called me one day and was insulting me you've done the traditional wedding and now you are you what your wife she came here and now you you told her to go and stay with her friend are you a man or not no pressure from people people were talking and how would your wife be in Japan here after so many years we waited for and she's here now you you allowed her to go stay apart with another person just because of we already married traditionally married so what are we still talking about wedding people have their own view about marriage we also have our own View and now tradition I would want my husband to talk about this traditional wedding because he is a pastor and um to be just and to be fair with this root in our first rational marriage um living together is he right I want you to answer this question is it right because a lot of Christians because I could remember when I was going to this when we were going through this experience I went on Google I've prayed I had because I like I had a conviction that God is in in line with what because this is like a situationship so I had to go on Google on YouTube and be watching to know if people actually made video like this is it right for a couple after traditional marriage to start living because we had our court marriage caught wedding in January yes still we were still apart even after the court wedding we were still apart so I went on Google I was searching um is it right for computer to live together after traditional marriage and cut marriage prior to their wedding so I want to change the potato from here all right thank you very much now the the truth is the main marriage is the traditional marriage the moment you are able to pay the bright price that is you already it's already settled that you are married when the parents agree come together and agree I give you my child you know because I should live together but now as Christians we also need the blessings of God of a church which the church gives so that is why we most of the times we had challenges yeah and we know church has Doctrine yeah and churches have doctrines and then these are the things you will follow because she's also Authority yes so what we did in our own case was that we had to go to the church and ask uh what are we supposed to do in this at this time in this situation in this situation it was becoming pleasurable because we I believe if the church doesn't give a go ahead yeah that's the point if the church is not in support of both of you living under the same roof after traditional marriage and Court wedding then you people have to leave ingredients to that yeah what that means is that the church have to give their consent that is their go ahead that that is their agreement now our hours was that they said they cannot do it in our own time which is was very cool we just wanted I came in December we want to do it in that same day because we are already we already missed each other this is what we love this relationship yeah when both of you meet after a long period of staying apart the first time both of you would meet like it's so hard foreign so we had to wait now in waiting we we we need to still have their own uh concept what are we supposed to do now my wife is here we are here together are we not supposed to live together or are we still supposed to stay apart so that how many months January February might have remain for five months have passed again so the church we met the church elders and pastors so and they said we you already married in traditionally you have the license to live with your wife that was what my pastor says hey you already given the license so what will happen is that we uh I think yeah my parents even when I yeah when I came to Japan my parents were so happy that I finally have joined I've come to be with my husband but when they now heard because my my parents knew me from from when I was I don't listen to know that I have this um front wheel like they knew that if I say this is what I want I'll fix I'll I will just stick to it and when I now finally come to Japan to meet you and when they heard that I was living with my friend instead of living with you oh in the name of that I'm waiting for you afterwards and they were so angry they were so angry they were not happy my mom especially my dad too they were not happy why why would you go and stay with your friend when you're already here with your husband so when I began asking a lot of questions I had to speak my dad and my dad told me that I should or we should go to church and receive um married blessing she just called the pastors I know that's from the church knew down and let them bless us bless the marriage then we start living together then by me wedding why wedding celebration so that was exactly what happened we had to go to the church I met my pastor I said my wife I will tell her to start coming to my city to join me so why she comes will come to the church we'll receive the marriage lessons married blessing and then we can begin to lift together he already had that in mind he wishes that also that it's not fair that even your dad told me one time you said you are you have suffered for Elijah is your mom so everybody was just feeling you know pity feeling so fun even angry for us yeah you know and so that was what we did you came here you came to this place in February Fridays yeah February 2nd yes on February 3rd because you had night shift after about a second so on February 3rd was Friday Friday we now went to church and received married blessing we knelt down at the altar and the church prayed for us why we reach for the White Wedding and this white wedding is is now let's say a celebration of like yes so from there we started preparing for the world wedding we did uh that was necessary until that day of the white wedding so this is a video to encourage those things having this challenge because I could remember how I was searching browsing let me know if someone is actually going through this same thing yeah because the main marriage is the traditional marriage your parents are having the concept that you go ahead and marry the other one the church marriage is called The Blessing it's just to lay blessings upon you which is to make the hand of God to rest or control marriage on that marriage which is very very important and we must we must also listen to the church although in the sight of God after the traditional marriage both of you are good to go live together as husband and wife but because you are under Authority you have to listen to the church must be considerate so imagine a question might come and say what if the child say no do it maybe after one year or so yeah you have to do your work and after one year or so that long time so The Church Must also be considerate and I know that God is at work in every church so a church is very important get confirmation from them get a go ahead from them so that the blessing and Grace rest under marriage you see so very important very very this is what we want to share with you today and we believe you have been blessed and you you've received this information so that will not work in error when it comes to marriage now had he been our church had told us um that we must wait for the white wedding in May after the white wedding that is when we start living together as husband and wife we have to still obey that because we are under their Authority we have to obey that although in the sight of God this traditional will be married like we've been traditionally married is no wrong for us to start living together as husband and wife in the same roof but if the church we are attending imagine the church that told us that we start living together as husband and wife to you after our wedding with me we still have to obey because these are these this church is the authority over our head okay now what that means is that although we are legally married uh when it comes to married marriage rights because of tradition yeah and also like this is paid yeah which is the most important thing the brand price is being paid and the two families agrees but now at this at that point the child says no you must do the white wedding or they cannot join uh two people living together aside otherwise that means you we have to be patient that means I will still allow you to stay with your friends to you to the time after we've been blessed yeah but I believe uh by the wisdom of God no church will go that extra extreme yeah yeah of maybe accept what the if the white wedding is close you might say okay just this okay period just wait just wait but if the time I don't think any church can do that by the wisdom of your new church will allow that they have to find a way to make it because to avoid anything [Music] because this is abroad and there are bypass everywhere that has happened everywhere anything can happen and affect the marriage even before the marriage started yes so we need to also consider that listen to your church your Authority you are under even as you've done the writing you've done everything that needs to be done you also still need to listen to The Authority you are under except you have decided that you don't want to be under that Authority anymore as far as you've chosen to be under that Authority you have to listen yes and also I want to make this clear that the traditional wedding or marriage what we receive is the parental blessing now when it comes to church what we receive is God's blessing so if the question is asked which do you want which do you prefer we see as a Christian you prefer the blessings of God this is what we want so if anything wants to hinder that we must also be uh so that we will nothing will stop that blessing resting under marriage on our marriages on our home that is very very important all right guys we hope this video had really blessed you this is a video from the heart this is our own experience what we experienced before we journey together and I promised myself that if I get through this period of my life I told myself if I get through this period I must make it I must make a video we must make a video just to inspire and to empower other people going through because that was a very hard moment for me so we do really hope this video has blessed you if you are really blessed don't forget to give this video a thumbs up and also share to your family friends and loved ones thank you so much for watching and we hope to see you in our next one yeah so if you have any comment any question any encouraging words or statements please put it down the comments to put it down there we'll see it and we'll reply thank you so much until we come your way again [Music] please foreign | Blessing Nwachukwu | UCLE03j_om8N3xFKuNuHYjsQ | 2023-09-04 | Creative Commons

QVumUQy5inU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVumUQy5inU | Against the Storm Ep67 | NASTY Modifier Overcome | [Music] welcome back folks i think we're doing okay um we have new things here so the cost of knowledge can be very high now production yield is increased by 50 and all packs are worth plus 25 more the two barrels i think is really good uh crude workstation but each worker has minus 10 to a solve no we don't while we do want parts we don't want to have -10 to resolve so we're definitely going with the barrels okay now we do need some people um so what are we missing most we can do with another person person in there but it doesn't matter which kind so we're not really missing anything specific so let's just go with two one one get the six copper bars and that'll be fine uh sword is on his way we're getting close to the clothing thing i think we need a temple and a common hall for that matter so the temple uh let's have a look in here [Music] so the prick oven is doing much soup which is fine let's do it from grain instead and from berries that's fine building materials is okay so we don't have incense for the temple what let's build the common hall right here 16 of 18 clothing we don't have any homeless right now but if we start deleting some of these shelters we probably will have now we do a homeless human and a homeless lizard so a human house and a lizard house and a path so we could stick someone in here let's just stick you in there we're missing some cloth but we are getting five fibers a minute and let's take a look at trade routes actually because we haven't looked at that so 10 [Music] berries a minute or 10 clothes a minute but we don't really have the means all right our herbalist camp is uh uh stuff to do then we have some more berries somewhere i guess not so let's do mushrooms here you basically cleared that out um you know what come down here and start clearing some of this out uh i would really like a small farm or [Music] herb garden or something like that you could actually use that and cool but we don't have coal you're making much soup you can use roots instead so go ahead and do that we are making coal so you know what let's use coal for that as well we're only at 16 of 18 clothing which is annoying um are we gonna get these built or what you have 110 of those why are you not making fabric ah the queen just got upset because i didn't notice that we were heading into the storm so now it doesn't really matter that we're that is something that i really need to keep an eye on we still have a home this lizard five grain per minute yes pick that new orders um i guess the three engine tablets we haven't seen copper anywhere we'll go with the food and we'll go with this all right we really need to get the um the happiness going we have him here [Music] so we would very much like some resin or some uh amber but we don't really have anything to sell to get it well we do we have a lot of plant fiber so let's do 60 plant fiber and let's see how much amber we can get 10. so let's see if we do 11 how much more do we need just one all right trade so that's that herb garden would be so nice but we really don't have the means i mean we have ton of coats but i think a 2-2-1 would be good or two to one it really doesn't matter so the question is what do we want most and i think we want that and that gives us a lot of homeless but hopefully you will start making some you know what let's tell you not to make any of those two right now just make some cloth and a lot of it please all right clothing is done and we just need time to tick by and we'll be done with that which is fantastic done all right let's deliver that that'll give us a new building [Music] i'm kind of thinking the bakery um do we have anything that can make yeah we do we have you that can make flour you can make flour out of roots or grain let's put you in there uh that means that the bakery is a very good thing to get the plantation though is very very good as well i want to see food we can make mush soup and that's it so the bakery would be nice [Music] let's pick it okay uh we need more housing we definitely need a beaver house uh we need two beaver houses actually okay all right things are getting built now which is good let's get some people in here does anyone like working here no not really all right let's just put two humans in there we'll deliver everything and that's good that'll give us services i would like to build a stone hearth as well do we have manuscripts in storage now no yes we do 27. okay that's great uh i think we're going to build a stonehearth down here or a makeshift hearth we're going to build the bakery in here is fine i want to we've got a path going over there going over there stone cutters camp is out of materials and there are no materials anywhere for it to work with so let's just leave it there and take you out is it time to open up a dangerous glade it just might be um [Music] okay let's open that up we're getting the hearth going let's stick a lizard in there now you are out of stuff up here but you have stuff that you can do out here we haven't built a scavengers camp have we which we could do because we have eggs right there and we have flax so why not build a scavengers camp we have happy people we are getting 0.86 representation per minute that is awesome greenhouse plantation oh i think the greenhouse food production uh greenhouse let's put one in there let's get a path going down this way we will move you out of the way and we'll get a path going down like that and once we're through here we will chop these trees down so that we can get a path going down here okay keep hitting escape which is not really great okay um let's make bricks again and let's make planks again all right we have our rain mill which i'm guessing that you would like to be in yeah um i suppose rain is fine now let's do roots uh we have a new building brewery we don't really need butcher could be good the incense could be good uh and we have happy beavers done so let's deliver that that gives us some more amber okay we do need incense for our temple which is huge i don't think it'll fit in anywhere now we'll fit in down here i kind of want the bakery to be a priority don't make pottery you can use berries and i want you to be a priority all right we are almost at the storm so let's take you out and let's take a couple of you out that takes us down to one which means that we won't have to pay the queen um you know what let's take you out as well just so we don't risk going into everyone is happy which is great uh i think i'll do the stamping melt and the tea doctor because we need the tea doctor for no that's the apothecary that we need dang it uh smithy near provisioner yeah kiln new smokehouse sure but let's get some of the buildings that we already have done first let's see we have one two three four five beaver houses so we need one more beaver house we have one two three four human houses so we need another human house and we have one two three or lizard houses which is fine but let's build an extra one all right our bakery is going up this is going up we want humans in here you can make both that's fine the bakery needs people let's put a couple of lizards in there and you want 50 50. and we want 50. let's just say 50. that's fine saying 30 oil as well okay [Music] this is the temple just need to get past wow the lizard or the beavers are super happy uh the cook house is nice but i'm gonna re-roll it the herb garden the ranch the wrench come on make some packs of provisions will you [Music] should get get there with the [Music] let's not make mushrooms right now five coats per minute copper extractor that could actually be good let's do the copper extractor uh we will get people back in here and back in here it takes us up to three but it's only during the storm so we can take them out before the storm hits let's chop a little more here uh we don't really need people do we no not right now anyway we should be having services coming in right sheltered was tells you of the forest religion brotherhood education yeah leisure yeah no luxury leisure clothing all right so let's just keep going all right what do we have this thing we don't have any available people but we can have available people let's do that let's take you and you in there investigate that we don't want this blackrock to spread yeah let's get that disappeared we have more fertile soil we have more bleeding tooth mushrooms and we have some big shell brood mothers which we can't use we don't have enough of anything to do this i'd like to though right let's get this gone guys uh we can put a couple of humans where is it oh it's here we could do humans instead and i think i might but we could also do humans here which i think is better we're running very low on food we are actually out of food so much soup i don't have anything for you man you have that um i really kind of think that we need another greenhouse um got a lot of mushrooms down here so hilda is here you still have mushrooms to do uh so let's get some berries i'd like some berries please and let's give you some coats 20 um [Music] let's give you some amber okay can we get something else maybe some herbs okay let's trade that gives us some food and something to make our stuff out of that's kind of important uh beavers are happy again we have two homeless humans so a human house here wouldn't be a mess um [Music] need planks and we need um [Music] the cellar the butcher [Music] um let's go with the butcher though i don't really think we need it because we're gonna win we are gonna win we can deliver this now which gives us two herbs a minute and some extra people which we don't really need but this means that we need another human house and another beaver house at least which is fine all right the temple is up i need humans in there okay uh we need how much um how much amber do we have we just spent a bunch i have 12 that's not enough okay i really do want to try and get down to at least two [Music] i don't think it's gonna happen there are two we can get to but not one so the vassal tax is gonna be nasty okay we are so close to winning it's ridiculous um i think we can get oh no no you you in there without it mattering you know what let's sacrifice a little bit oh are we out of wood we're out of wood okay let's get people back in here um where's the other one there let's move you over a bit and tell you to chop these you can move over a bit so you can get better access to the ones that we want you to chop herbalist camp is out of deposit so we can move that the beavers are back to happy then plus one per production came to amber plus two leather that's fine it won't matter because we are done we are done we have one which is great there we go 48 food stockpiles eight artifacts beautiful i feel like i should be able to finish these faster but i'm not sure i am so the next place we want to go is here for that beautiful 68 food stockpiles increased chance of fertile soil plus one to lizards uh incoming and plus three to lizards were solved that's not bad that is not bad it is a very hard impossible actually it's impossible well we're going for it but we're going for it in the next one so thank you very much for watching guys i hope you enjoyed it if you did why not leave a like and subscribe and i'll see you next time | Nerdy Old Gamer | UCs5wr6fkurG8GUZK0n7wi6A | 2022-02-12 |

WFaCUDwc4bw | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFaCUDwc4bw | Gases 101 (Thermodynamic Properties of Gases; Inverted Classroom Project PhysChemBasics#2) | gaseous play an important role in nature and technology how can we describe and understand gases both macroscopically and microscopically welcome to fisken basics our topic today will be gases how can gaseous systems be described we start with a phase diagram this case surfers in PV T space of a pure substance our light motive through the lecture series where can we find ideal gases here other gases are those that are at the proper distance from the critical point that is at high temperatures and large volumes here the phase diagram surface is continuously curved and it can be described very easily memory by the ideal gas equation if we move on the PV T service to real gases that is gas is closer to the critical point we have deviations from the ideal behavior below the critical point real gases can also be liquefied then physical chemistry will often focus on ideal behavior which is easy to describe deviations from this ideal state is then referred to as real and need some mathematical correction factor back to ideal we zoom out the area of the ideal gas this area is mathematically very well described by the ideal gas law P equals RT over V bomb the ideal gas law has a long history in the 17th century several scientists did some research on the compressibility of gases turned out that gases behaves very simply doubling the pressure results in a decrease of the volume to half of the initial value in mathematical terms he times D is constant pressure and volume are inversely proportional this equation is known as the law of boil and Marriot compression more specifically isothermal compression can easily be visualized in the phase diagram initial and final state of such a process 1 & 2 lion on a hyperbola the points of state 3 & 4 also lie on a hyperbola another table these states correspond to an eye former compression at a higher temperature what happens when you raise or lower the temperature of a gas and get it turned out that gases behave in a very simple way double the temperature in kelvins leads to a volume twice as high with the pressure being at constant there is a direct proportionality here terminated by gay lussac's law and of course that corresponds to a straight line in the phase diagram the states 1 & 3 as well as 2 & 4 lie on such eyes ecause the effect of the amount of substance on the volume is extremely simple with the gases like with any other substance the larger the amount of substance the greater the volume again a direct proportionality with the molar volume being the proportionality factor it turned out that there was something very special with the molar volume of gases unlike with other substances rebar is in fact the same for each and every gas this was formulated by Avogadro and his hypothesis equal amounts of different gases take up the same volume for example at standard conditions 0 degrees Celsius and 100 kilo Pascal's this molar volume is twenty two point four liters summarizing these three laws we end up at the ideal gas law which is a good mathematical fit of this part of the face diagram P equals RT over V bar or P times V equals n times R times T ah the ideal gas constant is the same for all gases 8.314 joule per mole and Kelvin instead of joules you can also use liters times kiloPascals the ideal gas law applies to all gases and it also applies to gas mixtures air is a well-known gas mixture of primarily nitrogen and oxygen symbolized here by red and blue dots such gas mixture can be characterized by the total pressure 99 kilo Pascal's imagine what happens to the pressure if we removed all but one of the components we will end up with only the nitrogen particles which will exert a smaller pressure this partial pressure as Sean Dalton called it would be 78 kilo Pascal's conversely we can focus on oxygen remove all gases except for oxygen and end up with a partial pressure of 21 kilo Pascal's which with dalton's law which of course derives from the ideal gas law we can calculate the partial pressure by multiplying no reflection of a gas with the total pressure all partial pressures in a system sum up to the telogen pressure by the way air can also contain water vapor depending on humility the partial pressure of water in air will be between zero and two kilo Pascal's let's take a microscopic look at a gas Maxwell Boltzmann kinetic gas theory assumes that gases are small particles that move very quickly the volume of the particles is small compared to the total volume of the gas they are so far apart that they do not exert forces on each other and the speed of the particles changes constantly depending on how often they collide with other gas particles or with the wall based on these premises Maxwell and Boltzmann we're able to explain for example temperature the microscopic phenomenon temperature is simply a measure for the energy of the translational movement of the particles use sub trance this is the average kinetic energy of the particles which is associated with locomotion space equals 1.5 times R times T any gas at room temperature have the thermal energy of three point eight kilojoules per mole Maxwell and Boltzmann also set up an equation for the speed distribution in a gas well you don't have to remember this equation but the graph is worth let me take a closer look on the x-axis the speed of the gas molecules it's plotted it ranges from zero to 1,500 meters per second the curve is not symmetrical so we find the average speed somewhat to the right of the maximum the average velocity the average speed depends both on temperature and on molecular weight the higher the temperature and the smaller molecule mass the faster the particle will move the speed of argon atoms for example at room temperature is approximately 400 meters per second water as a lighter particle has a significantly higher speed at the same temperature the particles although they are very fast ultimately don't get very far because they're very very often collide with other particles the particles collide with the wall which explains the macroscopic phenomena of pressure the frequency of the collisions of a gas molecule with other gas molecules can be calculated by this equation Sigma is a measure for the bulkiness of a particle and is called reaction cross section now Allen Adham for example collides five billion times per second with other gas particles a collision frequency of five gigahertz if we divide the average velocity by this collision frequency we end up with the so-called mean free path this important parameter indicates how far a particle travels before it collides with another particle with argon this parameter is 400 meters per second divided by five gigahertz equals 80 nanometers that is less than the wavelength of light the mean free path length depends very much on the pressure as can be seen from this formula it's very important for vacuum technology we remember the premises of clinic gas theory the particles are very small and accept no attractive forces on each other this applies in the realm of the ideal gas with both high temperatures and volumes however if he cool or compress a gas eventually the volume of the particles themselves and the forces to move them might come into play and a gap then no longer behaves ideally mr. Fonda bars has qualified these deviations from ideal behavior he modified the ideal gas equation and added two correction factors factor a is a measure for the attractive forces of the particles and to account for these forces you have to add a term where with a to P the measured pressure P is less than the ideal pressure P is a measure of the intrinsic volume because the ideal volume available to the particles is smaller and the real volume B has to be subtracted from volume for the ideal gas of course NPR zero if we compare the real gases argon and water vapor water has a much larger factor a as a result of dipole-dipole interactions there are created attractive forces in water however h2o and argon are about the same size so there is hardly any difference in B for the two particles the final aspect is a and B can be obtained from the critical values in fact gas is only 3/8 ideal as a critical point P times V equals 3 8 and RT for critical values let's discuss some experiments with the PV he service the phase diagram first let's compress a gas above its critical temperature methane has a critical temperature far below room temperature so let's put it in a cylinder at room temperature and reduce the volume the gas will become continuously denser the pressure will continuously increase but nothing else will happen the system will stay homogeneous throughout the compression process and the phase diagram you move along an isotherm from I initial state to F final state now let's repeat this process with the gas below its critical temperature let's put you teen critical temperature 425 cabins in a cylinder and we use its volume at room temperature first the pressure and density of a system will rise but as we reach a certain pressure the particles are so tightly packed that the directive forces called the gas to condense the first liquid drops will form at from this point on we may further reduce the volume but the pressure will remain constant the process now is both eyes thermic and isobaric only when all gas has become a liquid the pressure will rise again in the state diagram it looks like that starting from RI the pressure rises when the other film intersects the so called spinodal here the dew point curve and then the system moves through the two-phase ran on a connote both temperature and pressure on this co node are constant on the volume decreases only where each see intersection with the other by not aligned it's a boiling point curve the pressure goes up again to the final state F one more experiment to show the importance of the critical point let's take an empty evacuated container with a volume of 56 milliliters and fill in 18 grams of water that is one mode we heat the system to 100 comma Celsius what will we get well we got two phases a liquid phase below a gaseous phase the bath and a pressure of 0.1 mega Pascal's we continue to heat the system to 200 degrees Celsius what do we have now a liquid phase below and gaseous phase above however now the liquid phase has become less dense and the gaseous phase more dense the pressure is 1.6 mega Pascal's now with increasing temperature gaseous and liquid phases approximate in terms of density and not only in terms of density in terms of every property at some point namely at 544 kelvins the pressure is 22 mega Pascal's and then the dividing line between liquid and gas disappears we have reached the critical point in the state diagram we started at I and the two-faced route and then go up and then hit that critical what let's summarize the State of Nigeria gas can be calculated using the gasps love the composition of gas mixtures can be given using Dalton's powerful precious micro capillary gas can be described by Maxwell Boltzmann theory with the parameters average speed and mean prepared being most important's deviations from the ideal gas behavior can be quantified using the wonderbra's equation which explains that at the critical point a gas is only 3/8 ideal more information about the topic you find in the book and in the lecture thanks for watching | Physical Chemistry 101 by SciFox | UCLeNUU9ROXo5z_jKhoeKWiA | 2020-03-10 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,029 | 11,393 |
Ae-qTmer0Vs | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae-qTmer0Vs | Is there a God (5 minute version)? | well hello again today i'm going to deal with the question of whether or not there is a god in five minutes, how is that for ambition, well it certainly is a question that has not only bedeviled mankind for countless generations but it's one about which there is a great deal of controversy, so therefore it's obviously worth taking a look at. okay well to start with what about those who say, yes there is a god, what are their arguments? okay well to begin with my church as well as the scripture that i read, which i hold dear, says there's a god, that's enough for me, now for many people that's really the position and the analysis stops there, second my experience is very positive, i pray to him and i get results and what else is there to say, and then third the science of everything around us is so complicated that it had to be designed by somebody, it just couldn't have happened kind of randomly like the scientists tell us, and well really that's all you have to know, well that does kind of explain the strength of feeling that exists on the part of god's supporters. so what about those who would say, no, no there is no god, the evidence just isn't there, okay first of all the sociologists, the psychologists, the anthropologists will argue that god has been around, been worshiped by men from the earliest days, it's a process which involves invention, man invented this otherworldly process to help him deal with fear of the unknown, unfathomable questions like what happens after we die, what is it all about, and so forth; i'm afraid god was manufactured to help us deal with these thorny issues and a category of professionals spotted the market opportunity and moved in as clergy and that's how it all started, second there's no persuasive evidence that god exists and for that matter there's no evidence that praying works, there was a major experiment done a few years ago in america where they organized a lot of churches praying for sick people and then compared the results to other people in similar situations in hospitals and similar diseases and compared the results, there was no difference, no evidence of it working, so that's pretty disappointing for those who would argue otherwise, and finally there's the steven fry argument, he famously said, how could a creator a benevolent god, have allowed such terrible things to happen like diseases for infants or genetically disfiguring disease, well those are some pretty tough arguments as well and they're kind of hard to refute really well. what's my take on all of this? well richard dawkins, the famous richard dawkins, one of the most controversial questioners and commentators on the subject has said that belief in god appears on a kind of a spectrum, all the way from those who absolutely insist there is one on one end of the spectrum to those who militantly insist that there is no god, you can think of it as this kind of scale one to ten one for absolutely a god, ten absolutely no god, dawkins says he's a nine, he thinks it would be just as mindless and unreasonable to insist without evidence on the lack of a god as it is to say there is a god, but in balance he's quite sure there is none, i have to say i'm with richard on this. well there it is, i hope you don't get too upset about this and well some of you will not like what i've said, but there it is. if you did like it, please give me a like, subscribe, comment, notify, all that stuff and i'll see you with the next one, thanks a lot for watching, bye. | David Sadtler | UC_cW6uiRE15WdKQY5b4Uarw | 2021-05-13 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 642 | 4,178 |
8G3SBKz8ftQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8G3SBKz8ftQ | Deck Review - Odd Bods Playing Cards | hey everybody welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy my name is David and this is a deck review hey today we're going to look at the oddbods playing cards from Jonathan Burton and art of play all right so what are the oddbod cards uh well a long time ago back in 2012 there was a first edition of this deck uh it was released from the folio Society now the folio Society what they are is they're a private owned london-based publisher founded by Charles Ed in 1947 and it Incorporated back in 1971 what it does is it produces Illustrated hardback editions of classic fiction and non-fiction books poetry and children's titles and so they had released a deck of cards that just had all these really beautiful handdrawn images that look like you know old illustrations from children's books and so this now is the second edition being released from artart of play this new deck features an allnew back design gold foil embossed box each playing card again like I said hand illustrated by Jonathan Burton and it is just stunning from one end of the deck to the other every single image is uh an oddity it's quirky uh oddbods are a a really interesting deck of cards I'll try my best to describe this deck but I mean you can look at it and see what it but it looks like it says oddbods across the top and there's some sort of astronaut Joker flying on a spade pip you have this red banner that's going all the way around the deck and and the words on here they're embossed and they're all done in gold foil this side says oddbods playing cards the top is just a bunch of uh scroll work and Design This Side says Jonathan Burton an art of play and the bottom has some ad copy about art of play the back design is a picture of the back design amidst the backdrop of the design there's no tuck seal on the deck of cards I like that and then on the back of that there's a quote from Jules Vern this is everything is possible for an eccentric that is pretty much it for the tuckasee let's take a look at these cards these cards are printed from the United States playing card company and they are done on their Casino grade stock they do have a modern cut and air cushion emboss if you'd like to learn more about stock cut or finish you can click the link below in the description all right so if you want to know how these cards feel and how they handle uh when you measure them out with the er uh you get a measurement of 3.00 which is right on the edge uh of what uspcc considers to be a casino grade thickness um they're about the same thickness as the transformation deck uh if you have white lions if you got the woodlands deck um if you got the deception deck they're about the same thickness as that and they will handle like those cards back design is certainly made to look like a Ryder 808 back um but instead of just the rider in the center uh you know he's wearing that little space Band helmet he's like circus figures that that are balanced on either side of him then you have all the scroll work and all the vine work uh all around plus you have the prop prop propeller in the center but then if you notice there's all kinds of other little objects like a flower and a top hat and a banana and you know a balloon and stars it's just full of Whimsy with this deck you will get two advertisement cards one for art of play and one for Jonathan Burton also with this deck you'll get two original Jokers um one will be a writer on the back of what looks like to be a hyena and then the other one will be a woman riding on top of a monkey and she's being shot at by arrows really to talk about the cards in this deck um it's hard to group them because you can't just say well here's the aces or here's the Pips or here's the quartz because they're all uh uniquely individual they're all completely handdrawn so if you go through the cards you'll notice that the Pips um each one of them looks a little different than the next they're not uh a two-way design the Pips move around the the deck they change positions and then the court cards um like I said they all look like characters that were drawn from old vintage uh children's books um you know like Dick and Jane and and C and C dick run and all those kind of books but oddly strange I mean there's the astronaut helmet on some of them uh one lady's wearing a snail the aces are all like people wearing Ace costumes one guy's got um a cowboy hat with bullhorn sticking out of it one lady's got a beehive on her head uh the ask astronaut helmet plays um throughout but then on some of the Pips then you also have the Pips wearing top hats or the Pips are carrying balloons so it is a very odd bod deck all right so that is my review for the oddbod playing cards from Jonathan Burton and art of play as always I want to thank rare playingcards.com for providing these decks for me so that I could do these reviews for you and if you would like to find these decks or any others please visit rare playingcards.com thanks bye | magicorthodoxy | UC5QAqNOGAGb56RWANf6bqmg | 2016-10-20 | Creative Commons Attribution

K9KYLhZgqTY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9KYLhZgqTY | 30 WAYS TO BUILD YOUR EMERGENCY SAVINGS IN 30 DAYS | PART 3 | hey what's going on everybody this is Marcus Murray and I'm here with my lovely wife Shirah Murray and we are back for part three of our black married and debt free emergency savings video series when I was a mouthful you know that was a lot but we're glad you're here with us we're gonna be showing you 25 ways to build your emergency savings keep watching [Music] many will agree that having a stash of cash or an emergency fund is important yet many Americans struggle to save one in fact there was a bank rate study that found that 63% of Americans don't have enough savings to cover a $500 emergency having an emergency fund greatly improves your ability to recover from financial hardship it is also foundational to wealth building so if you have little to no savings we recommend that you start with a $500 goal saving just five hundred dollars will boost your confidence to save more and we want to challenge you to commit to saving this goal in the next 30 days building your emergency savings may take a little bit of creativity and ingenuity but we are going to provide you with ways to save and earn your way to that goal number one is pay yourself 125 dollars a week or just 17 dollars a day for 30 days way number two eliminate all non-essential expenses and put that money towards your $500 goal so some non-essential expenses may include gym membership fees and cable number three that's right dig under your sofa grab those coins empty those piggy banks exchange your coins for cash be sure to avoid kiosks that have high service fees and you may want to even find a bank that accepts always number four help save lives by donating plasma if you donate plasma over a 30 day period you may be able to earn up to two hundred and fifty dollars you know Azshara that one is really near and dear to me because I do work at a blood bank and every donation does save lives so I think that's a really good one number five reduce eating out and fast food purchases with the average fast food meal costing $10 cutting back 1 mil per week can save you $40 for the next 30 days number six organize a crock-pot surprise and one of my co-workers started this a few months ago and it has been amazing basically each person in the office brings something to throw into the crock-pot the cross our fingers and hope for the best but each week it turns out amazing so participating in this has allowed me to save on my lunchtime spinning because typically I'm able to go into my cabinet and find something that I haven't used to just throw into the pot number set say goodbye well at least temporarily to your name brand coffee by cutting back one coffee a week you'll be able to save $20 within the next 30 days number eight it's said that one man's trash is another man's treasure so if you have things that are just lying around the house go ahead and sell it put it on Craigslist or you can even check out off procom to get rid of some of the things that are just lying around number knotted you can drive with uber or late a recent survey found that uber drivers average 1568 per hour and lyft drivers average 1750 per hour driving just eight hours a week in most areas will get you 500 dollars within the next 30 days number 10 don't like the idea of driving around strangers well let us strain to drive your car turtlecom allows you to rent out your car and keep 90 percent of the profit there online calculators shows you your earning potential and you will be well on your way to your $500 goal number 11 sell baked goods to family and friends I have known several people that done this quite successfully it typically do it around the holidays they specialize in something whether it's cookies or sweet potato pies and they get a list fill the orders make a little side money number 12 is to have a family car wash now most car wash events are for good causes and I think securing your financial future sounds like a good all you have to do is grab a bucket some towels and hey get out there and start earning some money number 13 become a tackle on demand home service provider earn your way to five hundred dollars by doing household tasks of your choice more information can be found at taco comm number fourteen babysit for family or friends for a small fee number fifteen get a side job the federal minimum wage is 725 but chances are you live in a state that pays a little bit more and working a little over two eight-hour shifts over four weeks will get you $500 number 16 rent out a spare room in your home collect first month's rent and a deposit and bone goal accomplished number 17 exchange your onions gift cards for cash websites like race calm and carpool calm will pay up to 96 percent of your gift cards value number eighteen reduce your grocery bill by participating in meatless Mondays meat is typically more expensive than other proteins like beans and lentils save money by preparing one meatless meal per week into traffic number 19 you can also reduce your grocery bill by eliminating foods that provide little to no Trish in the cost of back snacks and box juices can really add so save little money by eating fresh and drinking water hey it's free number 20 so you gently use clothes or baby items to co-sign stores number 21 become an Airbnb host you can host your space co-hosts for a neighbour or even host a unique experience like hiking or some type of traveling excursion all while working towards your goal number 22 have a knack for crafts open a virtual shop to sell your creations many websites will allow you to promote your products some will even allow you to do it for free if this is your gift give it a try you might even start a business in the process number 23 have you ever wonder what to do with all those thousands of photos you have in your phone and in your computer become a shutterstock.com contributor you can earn income selling royalty-free images footage and illustrations number 24 do you work in the field of education teachers pay teachers is a website that allows teachers to sell original educational handouts and materials visit teachers pay teacher's comm to see how you can begin earn number 25 sell customized t-shirts and other products online with the popularization of drop shipping more and more people are creating products with little to no upfront cost number 26 everyone is good at something whether it's braiding hair baking pies solving quadratic equations whatever it is your talent your gift use to create a product do something like a webinar and charge a fee so people can learn your unique knowledge number 27 you can organize a community soccer basketball or football league and charge a player fee number 28 sell your old cell phone or computer for cash kiosks like ecoATM will pay you instantly for recycling your devices number 29 have you had a recent big accomplishment at work now make the perfect time to ask that raise last but not least number 30 apply for that dream job it might be time for you to step out of your comfort zone and into something new this may be an effective way to earn a little bit more and that will help you to reach your goal once you've saved this $500 is important to place it into a separate account aside from the one you use for everyday spending you may even want to consider placing it into a money market account for a higher interest rate and easy access in case of an emergency try to avoid accounts with maintenance fees as this may deplete what you've saved also remember your emergency savings is just for that emergency so we recommend that you refrain from borrowing from yourself so the money is there so we would like to take this time to thank you for watching this video series and we are confident that some of the things that we shared with you will go a long way to helping you to build that emergency savings so until next time this is Marcos burning and my lovely wife Shire Marie and we are black married and debt-free [Music] you | Black,

is one body and one spirit one Lord One Faith one baptism the Lord be with you let us pray merciful god who sent your Messengers the prophets to preach repentance and prepare the way for our Salvation give us Grace to heed their warnings and forsake our sins that we may greet with joy the coming of Jesus Christ Our Redeemer who lives and reigns with you in the Holy Spirit one God now and forever amen please be seated for the reading of scripture foreign from the prophet Isaiah for I the Lord your God hold your right hand it is I who say to you do not fear I will help you do not fear you worm Jacob you insect Israel I will help you says the Lord your redeemer is the Holy One of Israel now I will make a view a threshing Sledge sharp new and having teeth you shall thrush the mountains and crush them and you shall make the hills like chaff you shall winnow them and the wind shall carry them away and the Tempest shall scatter them then you shall rejoice in the Lord in the Holy One of Israel you shall Glory when the poor and needy seek water and there is none and their tongue is parched with thirst I the Lord will answer them I the god of Israel will not forsake them I will open rivers on the bare Heights and fountains in the midst of The Valleys I will make the Wilderness a pool of water and the dry land Springs of water I will put in the wilderness the cedar The Acacia the Myrtle and the olive I will set in the desert the Cypress the plain and the pine together so that all may see and know all may consider and understand that the hand of the Lord has done this the Holy One of Israel has created it the word of the Lord thanks be to God the psalm appointed this morning it's found in your bulletin Psalm 145 and we will read Psalm 145 in unison I will exalt you o God my king and bless your name Forever and Ever every day will I bless you and praise your name forever and ever great is the Lord and greatly to be praised there is no end to his greatness one generation shall praise your Works to another and shall declare your power I will ponder the Glorious Splendor of your majesty and all your marvelous works they shall speak of the might of your wondrous acts and I will tell of your greatness they shall publish the remembrance of your great goodness they shall Sing of Your Righteous Deeds the Lord is gracious and full of compassion slow to anger and of great kindness the Lord is loving to everyone's passion is over all his works all your Works Praise You O Lord and your Faithful Servants bless you they make known the glory of your kingdom and speak of your power that the peoples may know of your power and the Glorious Splendor of your kingdom your kingdom is an everlasting Kingdom your Dominion endures throughout all ages the Lord is faithful in all his words and merciful in all his deeds the Lord upholds all those who fall he lifts up those who are bowed down the eyes of all wait upon You O Lord and you give them their food in due season you open your hand and satisfy the needs of every living creature the Lord is righteous in all his ways and loving in all his works the Lord is near to those who call upon him to all who call upon Him Faithfully he fulfills the desire of those who fear Him he hears their cry and helps them the Lord preserves all those who love him but he destroys all the wicked my mouth shall speak the praise of the Lord let All Flesh bless His holy name forever and ever please stand for the gospel the holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew Glory To You Lord Christ as they went away Jesus began to speak to the crowds about John what did you go out in the Into the Wilderness to look at a reed shaken by the wind what then did you go out to see someone dressed in soft robes look those who wear soft robes are in Royal palaces what then did you go out to see a prophet yes I tell you and more than a Prophet this is the one about Whom It is written see I am sending my messenger ahead of you who will prepare your way before you truly I tell you among those born of women no one has risen greater than John the Baptist yet the least in the Kingdom of Heaven is greater than he from the days of John the Baptist until now the Kingdom of Heaven has suffered violence and the violent take it by force for all the prophets and the law prophesized until John came and if you are willing to accept it he is Elijah who has come let anyone with ears listen the gospel of the Lord Christ May the words of my mouth and the meditation of our hearts be always acceptable in your sight O Lord our Rock and Our Redeemer amen please be seated the whole message of advent is God's up to something God is doing things in the earth he is working out his own Eternal purposes in and through all of the events that are going on around us both the ones that we know about and the ones that we don't you know of course anytime you turn on the news you get about this much of what's actually happening in the life of the world all you have to do is go look on a new service in another part of the world and oh I didn't know any of this was going on there is that kind of selectivity and because that's so it's important to stop and meditate on the fact that when we try to say God is at work in the world he is carrying out his purposes we know that from a very very tiny perspective we don't know the wondrous revivals that are taking place in China I mean I could all these things that are happening in the life of the world about which we know nothing again because our perspective is so not only individually focused nationally focused tribally focused that we don't know about what's going on in the rest of the world so that when we as a group as a tribe as it were have it particularly hard for any given reason we have a tendency to project all of that back on the world itself not only like somebody actually none like me when I injured my foot three days ago the pain in my foot was so bad all I could think about was the misery of what was going on in my foot and somebody could be rejoicing and happy and you know and I'm like I'm real happy for you because that was the thing that was preoccupying my attention all of us have the tendency in fact you see to do that is to take whatever's going on in turn intern internally or among our tribe or the thing that is being told to us by the news media or any other media for that matter and out of that say this is what's happening in the life of the world and it's just not true because it's not accurate in its perspective Advent is meant to say to us in a very real way that literally the entire planet is involved in the plan of God that will eventually result in the return of Jesus visibly so that in in that moment every knee shall bow every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father and we get to get in on it the and is really important because you see God wants to use his people to declare the goodness of the Lord to declare what God is doing in the life of the world to cause people as it were to lift up their eyes and just like us see more than what it is that we think is actually personally true about what's going on not only in my life or yours but also in the life of the world as a whole and the Wonder The Wonder of these lessons is that that's what it declares you read the psalm and the perspective of the psalm is global the Lord is good to everyone he satisfies the needs of every living creature in other words the the whole thrust of it is to say let me put you in the center here of what God is doing in the world which is a heck of a lot more than what you see touch taste and smell and not only is he trying to change our perspective but he's trying to correct the places where we're just wrong and that's what's going on in the Gospel reading when Jesus is addressing the Jews about John the Baptist it's honestly it's an act of tremendous love for him to say you thought you were going to get royalty showing up that's not what's happening here God is doing something very different those who wear soft robes live in King's houses in other words if you keep looking there for what you think God is doing you're really missing the whole thing because that's not what's happening this is what's happening over here pay attention to John the Baptist the one eating the Locust and while honey and calling people to repentance in the midst of the desert literally as a result of that you see prophets not just speak a message they embody a message in other words and so what God is saying here is that you're in a system over here that is in fact broken it's corrupt and you're a part of it so what you need to do is come out of that system repent of your collaboration in it and literally receive baptism which was a radical act the only people who got baptized were Gentile converts coming into Judaism renouncing their former religion I mean that's what he's asking them to do in terms of being baptized in the river so that so cleansed you're not leaving your houses you can come back and live in a different way in the system acknowledging the fact that the system is corrupt but you're going to live out a different life you're going to live out a life based on repentance and not collaboration knowing that in living in that way you are in fact a part of what God is doing to prepare the world for the coming of the savior so that as the colic says you may greet with joy the coming of Our Redeemer as opposed to all of those who only have their hope and a system that is corrupt and dying and these will be the ones when Christ appears who will say fall on us rocks because they know everything in which they have invested their lives is for naught and God doesn't want that to be happened to us you see that's why this is really good news don't go looking for the ones who live in the Royal palaces because that's a part of a broken system that I'm coming to correct you see I want you to be a part of something that literally invests in the lives of the community and the people in which you love in a way that actually makes an eternal difference that allows them also to be in a place to hear the good news of the Savior who in the midst of this corrupt and broken world is redeeming it and he's coming back for a new Heaven and a new Earth that he will create that's God's doing I will make a new Heaven and a new Earth and we get to be a part of it so beloved that's why on the one hand Advent is a call to repentance because all of us wrestle with collaboration moral ethical compromise things that we just do that are sin just to get along and out of that saying no no come on don't invest like that don't invest like that in that system it is broken and it is fallen and that world is passing away that's what it says in first John no take the time we think again what does it mean for you to be in the world and not of the world how is it that you God you want me to live less like a collaborator and more like one who in the midst of that system is sowing seeds for the kingdom of God it's a different way of thinking about life because that has to do with even things like what happens when you're at family gatherings or what's going on when you're in the workplace or among your social friends all of those places are in fact meant to be Harvest fields for your sowing seeds a reaping Harvest encouraging growth as opposed to collaborating with the very things that would in fact destroy them even though they don't know that you're a part of what God is doing that's the invitation you can be a part of what God is doing in the world and honestly that in its heart is a part of what confirmation is really all about I will with God's help live in a very different way God being my helper to do so because I have a different end in view that's really it you know the coming of Jesus Christ Our Redeemer is my end in you it is your end in View and we live toward that and God help us nothing less than that nothing less than that so is all of us not just you all but all of us say again I will with God's help understand we're making commitments and living a life with the end in view that we may greet with joy the coming of Our Redeemer amen okay presentation and examination of candidates if those who are standing for

MVE5MBkM7HM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVE5MBkM7HM | Lecture 5 | and this is lecture five the last lecture hooray is a.m uh cleaning and disinfection of food safety legislation and the aim of this unit is to emphasize the importance of working in a clean environment and to raise awareness of the relevant legislation and by the end of this unit you shall be able to define and give examples of clean as you go and shadow cleaner demonstrate an understanding of the uses of cleaning and disinfection chemicals another appreciation of cleanup procedures of premises equipment utensils and lastly recognize your personal legal responsibilities as food handlers excuse me so cleaning what's the what is clean what's the definition it's the application of energy to a surface to remove dirt and grease now here's a question that comes up time and time again that's all cleaning is meant to do is to remove dirt grease grime food particles it's not meant to kill or reduce bacteria that's all clean it is and the chemical we use for cleaning is a detergent it's a chemical used to remove dirt grease food particles grime it does not please remember that because a lot of people get this wrong it does not kill bacteria we need to use another product in order to kill bacteria because we might be uh working with a food preparation board where we've cleaned it use the detergent but there might well still be bacteria present so we need to get rid of them so we will use a disinfectant and a disinfectant reduces bacteria to a safe level uh doesn't kill all bacteria 100 isn't you know like the old adage on the bleachers they advertise on telly um it kills 99.9 percent because some will unfortunately survive but not very many um the sort of things that we can use as disinfectants you've got chemicals uh chemicals uh such as the bleachers disinfectants or rather disinfectant is a chemical but different types of disinfectants that we use i prefer not to use chemicals you can use steam which is water above 100 degrees c or water at 82 degrees c that is classed as a disinfectant where it's at 82 degrees c now think on that that's the ideal disinfectant to use because it's not chemical based it's not going to taint it's going to reduce bacteria to a safe level and it's going to act as its own sort of flushing liquid other products we use uh in industry we use sanitizers uh you might see them using these in places like mcdonald's kfc uh pizza places they'll come along and they'll spray a table and wipe it down they're actually using a sanitizer so it actually cleans and reduces bacteria to a safe level sterilizing is the process of destroying all microorganisms and they suppose very difficult to apply sterilizing because it needs temperatures of at least 101 degrees centigrade which is difficult in industry because boiling water only comes to 100 degrees c um it's the sort of temperatures they use in autoclaves um which uh dentists use for example when they are sterilizing all their instruments uh you can achieve it in a certain high pressure steam units as well but in general we can't get a sort of temperature in the industry now let's look at the hazardous and cleaning you get cross-contamination uh for example you might be using the same cloth in a dirty area as a clean area a question that sometimes comes up is if you clean in an area and use the same same cloth which would you clean first a high risk or the raw food area uh you'd use the raw food area first sorry you'd use a high risk area clean that first then the raw food if you do it the other way around raw and then high risk you're taking raw particles into the high risk area so it's a big no-no the answer that is you wouldn't use the same cloth you'd use disposable cloths uh preferably the blue roll towel uh that you get a lot of establishments uh better than using say the old disposable j-class um also there's more expense involved in the j-cloth type cloth rather than the blue paper towel on the blue paper towel just wipe over throw away instant disposable uh chemical contamination uh the cleaning chemical is getting into the food you've got physical contamination brush bristles mop filaments bits of cloth get into food failure to destroy pathogens if you're using a sanitizer if you're using one that needs to be diluted for example you've got to make sure you dilute it to the correct level if it's under diluted or over diluted it won't destroy pathogens also you need to ensure that it's within date as well because once it's passed its best before date it's particularly useless as in trying to destroy pathogens or bringing bacteria to safe level and tainting if you've got a strong odored product that could taint food products as well so clean as you go is the sort of thing you do as a matter of course you do it there and then as you make the mess you wipe it up you clean it down that's clean as you know it's not planned it's something it's good hygiene practice it reduces contamination and obviously the possibility of food poisoning there is another type of cleaning and it's called schedule cleaning now this is where cleaning is planned so this is over a period of time and the cleaning schedule which would be a poster or a notice uh would say on there what needs to be cleaned who cleans it when it's going to be cleaned how is it going to be cleaned the type and amount of chemical you're going to use the time you're going to give the chemical in contact with the surface for safety reasons what personal protective clothing you're going to wear and it must all be checked or recorded by the line manager or supervisor and on that chart you'd have a space for uh the person who's doing the cleaning to actually sign to say that the clean has been done uh you might have noticed that in uh say toilets in other areas in supermarket service stations where they'll have a chart saying uh this toilet was cleaned at such and such a time that is a cleaning schedule and surfaces that require disinfection now not all surfaces require the surface in disinfection for example floors walls ceilings none of those require disinfection two areas that do require disinfection are food contact surfaces and hand contact services and remember those because again it's another key question that comes up hand contact services food contact services a good example is underneath what comes into contact with food knives tongs other utensils slicers mincers mixers containers chopping boards work surfaces production belts all give the potential to come in contact with food what's getting the potential to come in contact with our hands and don't forget i mentioned earlier hands are the biggest source of cross-contamination in a kitchen well we've got handles of doors fridges freezers cupboards utensils taps and switches something else that needs to be disinfected as well are the cleaner materials and equipment your mops and your buckets etc are a common source of contamination so single-use disposable claws are recommended it's showing the j-cloth type cloth there but as i've already mentioned the blue paper towel roll is much prefer because it works out a lot cheaper on this single use and you throw it away um let's have a look at the six stage cleaning and disinfection now let's give an example of a preparation bowl that's been used to prepare food uh we need to start with a pre-clean that's the initial removal of any food particles large food particles uh that can go into a recycling receptacle for example then we got a main clean where are we going to use a detergent with water and don't forget now this doesn't kill or reduce bacteria to a safe level it just cleans it removes dirt grease and grime we don't leave any detergent on that board so what we need to do then is put in a rinse cycle once we've rinsed it as we said there might well be bacteria underneath the food debris so we put in a disinfection phase uh here's shown a chemical disinfectant we don't leave any residue on our board of the chemical disinfectant so we pull in a final rinse and then we'll air dry and store to prevent contamination now there is a a double sink dishwashing is another method of cleaning um what you've got here is a sink which contains in the one bowl uh hot soapy water detergent and this bowl is water that's almost a boiling point um a lot of companies um when i've worked in they call them sterilized insects but they don't sterilize they disinfect because the water is not high enough to sterilize so you start with the cutlery and crockery uh you have a pre-clean scrape everything into recycling container you wash it in detergent water put it into a rack and dip it into the water then for about 30 seconds and put the rack out to air dry uh the order of cleaning always start with the high risk food area then the raw food area then the low risk then toilets now it's best to use a color coding system for cleaning if you can where you use totally separate buckets and mops for the toilet area can play to everywhere else again when i used to work in the industry we used to have red mops and buckets for the toilet area and yellow them for all the other areas you also get a color coding system which i didn't mention earlier with preparation boards again it's not a question that i've ever seen come up but you use a different color preparation board for different foods as an example you would use a yellow board for cooked food you'd use a red boot red board rather for raw food a blue board that would be for raw fish a white board for sandwiches and for cheese daily products you'd use a green board for vegetables and for fruit and a brown board for soiled vegetables so things that are grown in the soil and washing facilities you must by law have a hand washing sink and this is a question that sometimes comes up what must a hand wash facility have as a minimum when it must have hot and cold water soap and drying facilities keep other things separate so you got food and equipment sinks with hot and cold water any equipment sinks you should keep separate from the food sinks and the question might come up if you've got any problems at all the what water this thing's not working you must contact your supervisor and the last few slides uh we're going to cover food safety legislation and what is food safety legislation again excuse me the purpose is to protect public health again you might want to make a note of that so another likely question we've got various acts we've got the food safety act we've got the food hygiene england regulations 2006. we've got the ec 852 2004 regulation on the hygiene of foodstuffs and the penalties can be anything up to an unlimited fine imprisonment imprisonment rather up to two years um although with the manslaughter act if you felt guilty of killing somebody through food poisoning uh the penalties could be up to seven years uh so let's have a look at who are the food police well they call environmental health practitioners they're the enforcement officers they're employed by the local council so depending which area you're living in if you've got a problem with food poisoning if yourself a victim you contact your local council and has to be put through to environmental health and they will be able to help you uh what can they do uh well by law they can give food safety advice they can inspect food premises they can enforce legislation covering food now excuse me you can see on the uh identity cards they got eho that's environmental health officer but they these days they tend to be called environmental health practitioners so the powers of enforcement officers ehps they can enter inspect food and premises now a question might come up as to when can they inspect food and premises the answer is at any reasonable time reasonable be it meaning when you're normally open they don't have to give any notice they can just turn up they can investigate outbreaks of food poisoning they can remove suspect food another destroy they can serve improvement of prohibition notices and they can initiate prosecution for breaking food safety laws due diligence again this is a question that might well come up due diligence really means that you've taken all reasonable precautions to make sure that food poisoning uh won't occur uh and the actual in definition is there's a defense to prove that the business took all reasonable precautions on all due diligence to prevent to prevent the offence now the due diligence that food businesses use is called a food safety management system or you might well have heard of hassep hhccp that's hazard analysis critical control points all businesses food businesses by law regardless of size even if you're a hot dog vendor on the corner of a street or you're a five-star hotel to a group of hotels you must have a hassep in place or a food safety management system they have written records the records which include things like temperature logs so you're logging all your temperatures your freezer temperatures your fridge temperatures your cooking temperatures your reheating temperatures you're logging things like who your maintenance contractors are you're locking things like your personnel training to make sure you're all food hygiene certificates and there's a lot more besides but it's all about written records these written records will be kept in a folder um obviously you can keep a computer system but you need written records as well to have white signatures of people doing in uh carrying out the cleaning shadows so these written records are maintained in a file and that is the sort of thing that uh you would take the court as a business to prove that you took all reasonable quotients because you've got the proof it's all written down you take every precaution to make sure the offense wasn't caused by you and legal requirements of a food handler you must keep yourself clean keep the workplace clean protect future contamination on anything that could cause harm follow good hygiene practices for example hand washing regular showering or bathing with appropriate protective clothing now this one i've seen quite a few questions come up is what qualities should protective clothing have they don't have to be light-colored but they certainly must be clean and hard-wearing clean being in the operative world and lastly tell your employer if you're suffering from or are a carrier of a food-borne illness so that's it that's the end of the course there is no revision test now uh what i suggest you do is drop an email to dave summers let him know you're ready for the exam you'll then be registered to take it there are 30 multiple choice questions you need to get 16 out of 30 or 60 correct you aren't allowed to take that test three times so take your time doing it uh you need to take the box which you think is the right answer work your way through and when you finish um you will let me know that you finished and i will check your score and i will send you then your downloadable certificate which shows you you've passed the course an exam that followed so many thanks for following the course | Dave Summers | UCD7viSQNwpRLTHmnrMrSL0A | 2022-07-23 | Creative

GZnFAJTJXqY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZnFAJTJXqY | Tasting some delicious Ontario pawpaws! | hey foodies thanks for watching today we're going to do something just a little bit different we're going to have a tasting of some wonderful pawpaws that we've grown in our in our backyard and i've got jamie here to talk about pawpaws and tell us just really what are they so i know you've had them in a couple of your videos uh you did the panic no papa panacada yeah and you did the crema bianca with cannoli right yes yes that's great papa's are a fruit that is native to canada and the united states it is the largest tree fruit that is native to canada in the united states and for those of us who are for those of you who are joining us from south of the equator you might be more familiar with them uh with pawpaws as papaya but these are different this is what's called the north american papa sometimes and uh it is related to other fruits in the enona family like cherimoya and guanabana which you may know as soursop as well and they once upon a time were food for mastodons in north america um and since then i've been cultivated by first nations people and native americans and unfortunately especially in ontario here where we live have lost a lot of their habitat uh due to development and um so they're kind of hard to find but they're they've got a bit of a resurgence going on and if you're looking for them you can find them more often in farmers markets now particularly if you're down around toronto or southwestern ontario or you can do like a lot of people and grow them yourselves which is what i've done yeah and when you grow them it only just takes a few years before you start seeing the fruits of your labors pardon the pun um so today we've got three different varieties we've got nc1 which is this one and you can see just it's a nice big fruit it's it's amazing and this whole kitchen smells so good when they ripen they don't always look super pretty but they smell amazing yeah they smell so they really do yeah and then we've got uh susquehanna susquehanna yeah which is from the united states which is from the united states and and they all have slight different tastes and and flavors but they're all really good and then we've got um what did you call it it was from seedlings this is a seedling yeah from both of these are from the niagara peninsula originally yeah and and this one we like to call um banana because they're shaped a little bit like bananas but they also taste really banana-y and and they're just they're so wonderful so we've got different varieties of pawpaws and you can see like some of them are green and some of them are a little bit browner because they're more ripe and that changes the flavor and i can't wait to discuss the flavor with you as we taste them so jamie's going to show us how to actually cut into a potpod because i didn't know at the beginning and it's actually quite clever and neat if you ever cut into an avocado it's very similar you just take one and try not to cut your hand while you do it um cut it around the middle and there's seeds big seeds in the middle aren't there yes there are big seeds in the middle so you'll feel them as you cut through it and then once you've cut or scored all the way around you twist and sometimes they open up easy sometimes they turn into a big mushy mess this one has opened up pretty easy so you can see the pulp inside and all the big seeds inside and it's the pulp that we can eat we can't eat the seeds or the skin right yeah you don't want to eat the seeds you don't want to eat the skin um and normally uh when we scoop them out i'd scoop out the seeds and i'd suck all the goop off and spit it out but we're not going to do that on camera well do you want to give it a try let's give it a try give it a try oh this looks really good it's almost like custard because it's it's like a vegetarian custard i got a little bit of skin there there we go so the flesh on this one is really firm i got some flesh in my mouth [Laughter] it's very um melony melanie you doing okay yeah i'm doing fine it reminds me a little bit of reminds me a little bit of honeydew melon yeah a little bit of papaya it's sweet but there's a just a hint of bitter which sometimes happens when they're not very ripe mm-hmm or when you get them wild i got a seed got a seed okay i'm trying to be ladylike on camera oh well there you go so this one is very melon and citrus-like i wonder what the other ones taste like well this is a younger one so you want to go with an older one at the same time yeah let's try that compare okay this one is older you can see for the folks at home that it's got more black and brown spots on it this one i'm curious is whether or not it'll oh no this one's gonna get squishy oh [Music] that's okay look at that there you go oh my goodness of course you give me that one we'll see how this will see we were um rehearsing this last night and and jamie had one of this variety and i had another one of the variety and they were totally different flavors oh this is nice this tastes like 10 cream to me yeah yeah or or whipping cream or like just i'm getting a little bit more caramel off this one it's very nice this ceiling i find these ones are very juicy sometimes papas are quite juicy sometimes you cut into them and they are a little bit more i don't know what we call fleshy something like that these ones are very custardy mmm it's that's really nice sometimes they're buttery so they taste a little bit more fatty but this one's just more sugary i think yeah yeah there's definitely sugar but i can taste the fat in this one i've lost the papaya i don't get that anymore definitely so i've got like a little bit of banana a little bit of melon a little bit of caramel with the other one i wasn't getting the caramel but i was getting the papaya flavor mm-hmm yeah so that's from a seedling that's great okay so seedling is just grown from seed yes so it's luck of the draw when when we plant by seed exactly the seeds don't grow true to the parent they will have their own flavor mix because all pawpaws if you want to produce pawpaws yourself you have to have two different trees so that they can cross-pollinate and that means that every new tree will have its own flavor these ones are cultivars is what they call them which means that they're propagated by making cuttings and grafting those cuttings onto what they call rootstock which is an existing little tree and because they take the cutting of the parent plant it's always exactly the same so these two are yeah they're called cultivars so it's a little bit like if you're familiar with apples like macintosh or gala or fuji it's the same thing yeah so you know what you're getting every time okay yeah well let's cut into the next one yeah so this is the susquehanna and we'll start with all these are pretty ripe so because we have that one was done a little bit earlier and it's been a good year for us this has been a good year yeah they've really produced a lot so we can see again the flesh on this one is different uh this one looks a little bit more caramel oh yeah look at the difference like it's it's like from bright yellow to like caramel colors all right so you give this one a try sure oh yeah you can definitely smell the um the caramel notes like it's it's got really nice um flavor this one smells a lot like a papaya yeah it does yeah some things sometimes papas i mean all pawpaws are very aromatic some of them taste just like they smell oh that's nice yeah yeah that's really nice so the flesh on this one is a bit more buttery i think it's like i'm scooping out butter mm-hmm yeah you can definitely taste the the pawpaw flavor it's not his um it's not his melony no definitely not as melanie um these seeds are amazing looking i mean they're these big big black or dark brown seeds they look almost like flattened cocoa beans mm-hmm and well i don't want to eat them obviously it's maybe not as sweet as the other one yeah no but the flavor is very rich yeah yeah it's less juicy but i think more fatty the hmm it's really good it is good it's really good i am getting banana off this one sometimes people say that papa's taste like a banana mango custard yeah i almost never get the banana but i'm getting the banana off this one yeah like so papa's all ripened at different times depending on what variety you get and cisco honda is known as one of the later ripening varieties but it actually ripened really early for us this year yeah it was the first one to start ripening which is okay i'm gonna eat all of this if we don't keep moving on all right oh my god that's so good okay so we got one last one so cisco hot it was named after the river that it was found near the susquehanna river a lot of pawpaws get named after a location or a person uh this one is known as nc1 it's niagara campbell one so it was grown originally in the niagara region which is not too far from here and um by a gentleman of the last name campbell uh who named this and i think a persimmons variety as well it's amazing the size difference like i mean look at the size difference of these things like yes for the wild ones you know when you get the wild ones this would be big yeah right this here and there's no gigantic cultivated ones because they tend to be a whole lot bigger yeah um and the seedling ones you don't you never know yeah but a lot of the cultivars the cultivated varieties are grown for their size and for having relatively few seeds um so we'll give but we didn't actually before we move on we didn't give a really ripe one let's give a really ripe one a try okay because i remember i i hate buying bananas because they never get consumed fast enough because you buy them when they're almost perfect or you're buying them and they're a little bit green but these when they they get ripe they're they're gonna be wow that's strong huh yeah so this is even more and more caramelly and it's just yeah it's these just get in my opinion better and better and better with age they get stronger susquehanna is sometimes too strong for some people if it's too much pop-off flavor but i don't like this does have a lot of papa flavor mm-hmm yeah but i'm getting butterscotch yeah and vanilla mm-hmm yeah i definitely taste the vanilla there's a lot of seeds in this one too that often happens with the small ones there's a lot of seed [Music] yeah i'm still getting the banana but i'm getting butterscotch and vanilla yeah i'm a pawpaw of whatever that flavor is that's so hard to describe people will tell you that papa's tastes like strawberry and people will tell you they taste like mango and people tell you that they taste like cherimoya and people will tell you that they taste like anything and everything other than the sun so in other words they taste good they taste delicious one way or the other so that i think it was a lot like the other one but yeah like dialed up yeah and i think a bit sweeter yeah i think so i think so so yeah that was the susquehanna we're gonna jump back to the nc one that we were talking about which is originally from niagara we'll start with a slightly more green one yeah the greener one see this one it's a little bit more on the green side and we'll cut into this one nc1 is also known as one of the stronger tasting varieties which is why i planted it oh well i should have asked you if you wanted no that's great i'll i can do the next one good look at that so this is definitely yellowier than than susquehanna yeah let's see how this tastes oh oh that i think it's probably my favorite one it's so smooth there there's very little grain to it for lack of a better term like some of them can be a little fibrous and this has none of that like it's just it's it's very much like a a custard or a pudding mm-hmm a really firm pudding but oh my gosh and look at that like i can take a whole spoon and like that's amazing like it's not chocked full of seeds yeah okay this is really good so there's also the really ripe one i think i just said it was amazing over and over again yeah you know so did i this is more butterscotch but like you said it kind of melts in your mouth yeah yeah definitely the consistency is almost like a perfect avocado you know when you get an avocado and it's just exactly right yeah definitely yeah all right so i've scored this [Music] this one's a lot darker so it's going to be a lot more oh and you can see it's gotten a little browner oh on the inside i might take back that one being my favorite oh got that caramelly note but it's also smooth and flavorful yeah it's got the same consistency sometimes the older they get when they're younger they're firmer and when they're older they get like you said a little bit fibrous or a little bit but this one no way yeah this one is amazing so i've baked with these pawpaws in previous videos and i'm going to link to the in the description below of some of the videos that i've made and the problem the only bit sorry the biggest problem i i find with baking with pawpaws is because of the high heat when you're baking cakes and cookies and things like that it changes the flavor and and and kind of ruins the pawpaw itself so you need to make something like a panna cotta and then add the fruit after you can add a little bit in in it for for slight undertones of the flavor but if you really want to bring out that papa flavor add it at the end and it's going to really be wonderful or like you did with the cream of bianca you mix it into something that's already yeah yeah or a whipped cream it'd be really lovely in a whipped cream yeah you should do a papa ice cream it would be nice to be in a papa ice cream there are a lot of different recipes out there i know some people do bake with it they just expect that the flavor is going to be different after you've baked it yeah definitely so i'm going to ask you foodies have you ever had pawpaws before and if so let me know in the comments below what your favorite flavor is and if you haven't had pawpaws before ask all the questions you want we've got jamie here and he's happy to answer the questions and i look forward to seeing you next time | GlutenFreeGuy |

G5jdIXBuEyo | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5jdIXBuEyo | Philosophy of Kingdom Come: Deliverance - Part 32 | foreign there we go right ah excellent hello everyone welcome back I'm Professor McCoy welcome back to Kingdom Come Deliverance it's good to be back it's been a while but here we are right back into things shall we evening everyone good evening [Music] I have unfortunately if you didn't hear me on Monday I have unfortunately been a tiny bit under the weather lately so arriving for them probably I don't sound too well too stuffy and whatnot ah and if I do it's that it's uh it's not too terribly distracting oh gosh it's been a little bit all right so let us see we um we have some investigating to do we have to ask around a little bit [Music] um a little bit more about the groups that being the uh these nasty nasty folks who have been involved with uh this uh this counterfeiting operation and then perhaps by the end of Earthly sometime during tonight's stream we will uh wind up going further and investigating monastery because there is some investigation to go on there because apparently someone from the monastery is heavily involved in this whole counterfeiting process now counterfeiting is an interesting a very interesting crime to me [Music] it's a very interesting crime from my perspective uh given that it is under some circumstances certainly well sorry about that um under some circumstances certainly Criminal uh it is it does have a particular assignable victim and all that stuff um but that is only when it's a case of fraud I'm honored that you should come to me uh with its case of fraud or when it it is um when it's a form of fraud or when it's a form of theft and I can get into those those particular cases um moving forward because otherwise otherwise aside from fraud and theft it is very difficult to in principle distinguish um uh the production of money as an actual good whether that's Fiat money or coinage or whatever um this is to distinguish the production of money the production provision of money from counterfeit uh fraud except for the charter fraud they are oddly and perhaps disturbingly simple I've got a few questions for you bailiff if you don't mind something to do I've been having some trouble around here and what business is it of yours did someone complain who sent you here no one who claimed though I'd be interested to know why they might it was Lord radzig who sent me he heard words some unsavory characters I'll hold up around here begging your pardon or what the devil does sir radzi care about it and I keep hearing the same from Sir Sebastian and he's got no dog in this fight either hmm okay you have an inn and the horse trails cross here there must be many Travelers come seeking work and not all of them honest men ah it's true Bedlam has broken out once or twice and restoring order was no easy matter has there been anything like that lately no it's been quiet here lately now that I think about it I don't recall coming across anyone here like that nobody looking for soldering work maybe as a Merchant's guard there's always one or two like that but if they don't get the job they move on Sarah Sebastian who's that Sebastian Baron vomberg he's here under Monastery law to protect us against all this unrest in the land why should he care about the city that's not his jurisdiction is it quite true I'm in charge oh he's the one who was uh keeps telling me adulteryanka and I should be more Vigilant the goal of the man interesting have you heard any talk of strangers in the town and maybe people acting oddly nothing worth mentioning sure there's been some talk about the Miller folks saying they've been seeing him doing this or that or people visiting him at night but he's never done anything he's a decent enough man for a Miller I'll try asking him he lives on the other side of the river by the bogs but don't go getting your hopes up he might not be able to help I mean if a Miller's reputation precedes him perhaps unfortunately I heard some recruiters are meeting in Sasso seems likely they get up to mischief and people might complain do you think that people here complain and I don't do my job nothing of the sort old Letterman's the only one that comes complaining but I pay no heat to him and what does this ladyman complain about Letterman is our local Tanner lives by the Quarry which is where well some youngsters go there to wrestle they go there to fight and that doesn't bother you why would it bother me much better to brawl there than in the tavern at least in the Quarry they can't damage anything but each other and my cash balls go by there from time to time to keep an eye on things I mean at least they're just take care now at least they are participating in mutually voluntary combat rather than just beating up random strangers which is something that uh that you know teenage hoodlums could perfectly well be doing instead let's talk to the Tanner in that case anyway so um the clearest case where uh where counterfeiting would be criminal would be you know perpetrating a signable harm uh would be cases of fraud where someone is putting forward something for something that is not right producing something that appears to be coinage but it is not actually that does not actually have trade value but here's the thing with that it's only fraud in that case if it doesn't actually have trade value so if the good enough counterfeit such that it can pass scrutiny then it's not fraud technically because you're not passing it off as something it isn't you're producing something a medium of indirect exchange and the store of value now it might not be a perfectly reliable store of value because someone could eventually figure out that it's fake fair enough um but for example if someone were to get the um the mint presses right to get the get the little the the mint dies that's about the dyes right um of the coins of of say it's erratic um and then they would or the or I suppose up the king I guess um and then just start pressing out uh grosham out of silver out of an appropriate weight of silver those would be indistinguishable from real grossian because they would be because well the purpose of minting is that someone reliable presses out a particular weight of a precious metal in a particular shape and puts a seal on it to verify that you know this is that particular usually one ounce of this particular metal in which case great or uh in uh sometimes it's a smaller smaller division than one ounce but regardless so it's it's to verify that it's a particular weight value and if it's a particular rate weight value even if it's not official even if it's not actually produced by the king it's just the same thing that the king is producing and it's in that case it is a it's a violation of something like copyright which is merely positive law that isn't it's not actually a crime that is simply a violation of the king's edicts that only I and my proof mentors are allowed to Mint let's see what the Tanner has to say God save what can I do for you Tanner I've heard all's not well with you it's better now I must have eaten something bad no I mean you've complained about some Ruffians raising hell behind your house die true enough that lot's been a thorn in my side and when I went to tell them to take it elsewhere they nearly beat me to a pulp [Music] when are they there nearly every evening every God forsaken evening shouting and bellowing there till Nightfall and then they leave probably to get drunk how many of them are there how would I know they make as much noise as a herd of wild boar in rushing season and did they all attack you it's awfully visual they knocked the stuffing right out of me um if you want I'll take care of them well you look like you could move mountains but there are several of them and just one of you perhaps you'll be able to settle things peacefully maybe maybe they might think twice before kicking your ass God bless you as well disciple Mike welcome good evening uh yeah I'm just gonna go and [ __ ] reason beat the hell out of these guys well break your leg lad all better yet don't but if you manage to pull it off you'll get your reward don't worry goodbye okay so it's nowhere near evening so we have other things that we can do first anyway so if um assuming that uh oh okay okay okay so we have to get to the uh the Miller so setting aside the issue of of basically copyright setting aside the uh the positive law aspect um of counterfeiting if you are counterfeiting usable currency uh whether that is because it's actually the value the sort of weight melt value that it claims to be or because it is a convincing enough uh replica to pass scrutiny then what you are doing is you're pretty you're just producing money you're minting you're not counterfeiting now that uh has has its own complications let's say uh I take complications and not outright criminality because it's not necessarily criminal to Mint coinage otherwise there would be no coinage there would be no currency there'd be no money money is a technology it's a tool that's something that people make it's something people create for a particular purpose that is uh indirect exchange and store of value primarily um oh wait there's my should be going the other way right yeah it was radically the wrong way this way yeah um now counterfeit can become Criminal either if it's fraudulent so you're you're making fake money money that won't pass scrutiny so I make fake money I use it to buy something from you I exchange my non-money for your goods you are anticipating being able to spend that money elsewhere you're tricked you can't spend the money elsewhere you uh you've given me something in exchange for effectively nothing or maybe you know Quicksilver let it uh Quicksilver uh coated copper or something like that something of of little uh little comparative value so I've effectively stolen from you uh by means of fraud okay if that is the case then then what I've done is I've committed the crime against you simple enough straightforward um the other way that counterfeiting can be criminal is if uh is strictly in a only off okay it only would qualify as criminal in a Fiat money system so in a hard money system like this this is a hard money system like money is money because it is silver and there's a particular amount of silver that gets mined and The Binding of silver produces value and that value gets traded for value and that that is the production of money there's a constant but gradual increase in the stock value of money but there's also a constant gradual increase in the value of goods in the area so there isn't significant inflation or any at all probably um deflation by the way is the natural quirks of things not minimal inflation something worth noting this is actually something really important that we should probably remember um whenever we're talking about inflationary economics but in a Fiat money system Fiat money is has its value because uh not because it is anything in particular it's made from anything particular that has a definite agreed upon value it is arbitrary it's strictly and purely arbitrary by the issuer and the issuer is claiming that that part of what the issuer is doing by issuing Fiat money is claiming that it has a particular value the value on the Note say and if that issuer does something to devalue that money or those notes then what they're doing effectively is committing fraud they are uh they are devaluing their currency issuing something that is worth less than they claim and valuing what they have already issued at less than they uh less that they than they initially what can I do it's another kind of systematic fraud rather than rather than a particular case and something like that again terribly sorry I keep adding to mute I'm still a bit of the weather today anyway though yes it's um so those are really the only two cases the only two kinds of cases where uh where uh counterfeiting is actually criminal and in this case I think it would qualify as criminal because it is it is it is particular fraud because these are believable copies but they are not foolproof copies right they they're not real money they they're meant to pass themselves off as money but uh but ultimately are of of lesser value and uh are notably of lesser value and would would not not be you know they're not functionally indistinguishable from real grossian in this case if they were if they were just pressing coins out of silver okay they're pressing coins out of silver they're minting great they're a competing mint there's nothing criminal about that because if now worth noting if there were something criminal about counterfeit as such then there would be something criminal about mining gold or silver or any precious metal because you are adding you're adding money to the money supply you're adding to the money supply uh without without I guess compensation to those who are already holding money this actually happened with uh the African king Mansa Musa uh in the early Renaissance I think this is like I think 60 Etc I think it was like right nearly shortly after this it might have been a little before I'm trying to remember exactly when uh either way it was it was a one point uh a king from Africa basically traveled the known world went through Europe went through the Middle East and into into some of Asia it was just and was just giving away copious amounts of gold because his kingdom had rich rich gold reserves because he was just giving away gold and this significantly disrupted the economy of Europe uh because the value of gold plummeted because the supply of gold skyrocketed and so what this did was it it devaluated it devalued the gold that a lot of people had on hand it made their gold coins worth less because suddenly there's a lot more gold gold in front of it that's not criminal he didn't do anything wrong by doing that he didn't he did not uh he didn't actually commit any kind of fraud or force or anything like that what he did was he gave things away gave away gold give away his Goods he did a net good a net positive or everybody despite it having some some negative impacts for some people okay um so that's what that's that's what happens in a case like that and that's why that why that's why counterfeit in and of itself can't be criminal it can only be criminal if it's a kind of Fraud and usually that kind of fraud in in this time period right would be fake would be fake precious metals copper coated copper that kind of thing um but in our time period it's more like the the inflationary uh printing money so to speak that's the kind of counterfeit that is fraudulent in today's society listen have you heard about anyone looking to recruit men around here or planning some kind of Mischief no come on I know how it is with Milos really I've been friends with a few and they hear all the gossip so go ask them I doubt their ears reach all the way here then it seems you're out of luck surely we can come to some arrangement I have to pay this guy every night so what do I have to do to get in your good graces Master Miller well if I heard from those Miller friends of yours that you can be relied upon and you're not a complete Dot oh fine I've got some Goods here whose owners might miss them all right let's see what we can do about that I don't actually hmm I'm Henry from scallops and I'm looking to mail a bit of extra coin if you know what I mean hmm I expect Patrick sent you and if it was peshek who sent you you can't be a complete dote I'll try you out the tailor in Sasso has received some valuable Brocade can you get it for me no problem you'll be here in no time at all good it ought to be at his shop bring the whole Bolt okay here we go you haven't heard of any recruiters around here have you people looking for armed men perhaps but I'll not speak of it now why not it's important because we're in the middle of something come on nothing bad will happen if you talk to me perhaps not but I'll tell you when we're done my memory will be sharper then right Christ it's like pulling teeth with you I hope you're more generous with your grocer than your words farewell hey I'm gonna go buy it from him from the Miller or from the uh the tailor I'm gonna see if I can just buy it from him yeah I have tens of thousands of spared Russian at the moment so I can probably just buy it from him right I'm on a quest from the royal hatman it is a quest of grand importance no expenses to be spared what's this what's this here well let's come crawling out from under some rock ah you got me have we got here into the assignment great yeah come on can't you see my friends [ __ ] yeah Bring It On that's not good nope you okay was full is that

all right yeah let's get back to sassow yeah okay I also don't quite know how I didn't notice that four it passed right by the large Bandit camp large well-armed Bandit camp oh well it's fine all right go chat with the Taylor Thief is it that guy my God stop what oh okay hold on hey Hey listen I thought he was a thief reports about you picking fights with people that guy that's the thief that's the thief well you won't forget this in a hurry because it'll take a nice pile of coin to fix it 200 hmm it's a shorty all right all right fine whatever [Music] now where'd the thief go you just ran off we're just letting him we just let him get away tackled the wrong guy of course had to tackle the wrong guy well serves me right all right I'm glad that don't save you good night what can I do for you uh can I buy a brassade no I can't okay well that pays for my uh crimes yeah indiscretions perhaps oh wait hold up there's boots they're on the horse I don't think I can sell him the sh the swords but that's fine or the queerus but again that's fine [Music] sex and games tonight I saw that too oh you can buy armor yeah I didn't realize he would buy armor kind of didn't expect him to uh yeah it'll do all right foreign so yeah um I am gonna have to steal from okay disappointing and I assume that'll have to be at night if I'm to do this right um [Music] or maybe not maybe not I choose [Music] that'll work [Music] let's try this [Music] what really my perk didn't just [Music] nope [Music] nope nope okay oh I got a perk nothing okay oh mm-hmm oh that's supposed to be here either okay [Music] pardon me for a second [Music] I'm just gonna head into your back room real quick okay not coming good this is a pantry uh really had that robust of a lock on your pantry the world up there maybe come on this is no looking for a fine brassade is it no hmm foreign let me guess it's in the shop it's that chest isn't it may the Lord watch over you Henry God's blessings I look ridiculous but that's fine it's not in the inventory I can't just buy it can I [Music] uh no no okay no I do have to come back at night [Music] I'm glad being dressed ex like obviously like a thief doesn't really have you know much of an impact you have a nice Longs or while I'm at it whatever anyway uh let's swap back to our proper armor shall we [Music] are wearing my breastplate yeah Aquarius oh I'm not wearing pants there we go better all right let's go to the Quarry and uh wait till wait till dusk evening not dusk [Music] I assume they fight it out over here huh wait a couple hours [Music] hmm shs can you help me with it for a paper what is Stuart Mill's idea on value Theory I assume you mean Don Stewart Mill um gosh that is a bit so Mill is a slightly outside of my expertise um [Music] do you mean value theory in terms of like economic value because if you mean in terms of economic value um nil was primarily a uh he was utilitarian ethically speaking and so his uh his value theory in ethics was uh was that things derive their value from are not just things but actions particularly Drive their value from use right if you're talking about economic value um he was broadly speaking within the marginalist sort of tradition um and so we held that value was value that we place upon things which is which is I mean roughly the mainstream view of the time and afterwards uh and I guess shortly afterwards at least am I heading um uh unfortunately I'm not as familiar with the details of his economic theory um I'm more familiar with his ethical Theory and that I can provide plenty of plenty of critiques of uh his ethical Theory uh far less of like I said it was economic theory always morality okay yeah what do you need why did you thrust the Tanner because he came by one day lost his money excuse me and then started on about how we cheated him in order to give him back his coin he was a right person okay he told me that you jumped him when he asked you to stop making a racket behind his house well I should wash my arms but that's all right well he didn't start complaining until he lost his money before that it didn't bother him I mean understandable I suppose I heard someone was looking for men willing to do anything you know anything about it Maybe I'll work in the Quarry and they're always looking for extra hands to replace them and it's got something broken that's not what I meant but thanks I'm honored that a knight such as you takes an interesting mail okay yeah so ethical theory of objection so the most fundamental kind of objection that you can give to a sort of John Stewart Mill utilitarianism uh is that it uh it's it disregards anything uh it disregards anything uh anything fundamental about uh about our actions about the nature of our actions and the nature of ourselves no no no no okay to clarify to clarify I said she is kidding do not cite oh my God don't cite a YouTube live stream on uh on a paper don't do that that's a bad idea that will that will probably not help you um now I can point you to some to to I can probably point you to some sources if nothing else in the description afterwards uh or feel free to join the Discord and ask in there that'll help uh as far as uh our sources go I can point in the right direction there but anyway I would say the most fundamental uh dispute I would have with Mill and this is a bit complicated so you might not wind up using this in paper because again it relies on a lot of background um but just sort of as a as an overall objection I would object to to male and utilitarianism primarily from the fact from the fact that it am I jittery for all of you or is it just showing up that way I have no idea let me know if it's if my face game is really jittery I might be disconnecting reject it anyway it's that it disregards the fundamental character of human actors and human actions uh as performed for particular ends and that those ends are either conducive to or not conducive to our uh our general flourishing um rather than producing happiness for undifferentiated undifferentiated persons right so that that that leads into another problem which it it because it disregards right middle disregards I should say the um the fundamentals of human nature and the impact that Human Nature has upon the ethical import of our actions uh part of what that means is that it it his theory that is sort of levels out persons and de-individuates them right so I have particular kinds of obligations to particular kinds of people and particular people and actually particular people right I have obligations to say my students that I don't have to students in the next classroom over right it would be it would be unethical of me to skip class in a way that it would not be unethical of me not to show up to one of my colleagues classes right because I have a particular obligation to to my students in a way that is based upon our our particular social relationship that we have that we've entered into Mill can't really account for that acceptance to say that what I'm doing is is depriving them of uh of a particular instance of happiness that I had otherwise intended for them to have and they had come to rely on in some sense maybe it's that but that's not that's that's not what's fundamental about uh but why I have the particular obligations that I take on in a in a sort of social relationship no I have a particular social relationships that have importance in their own right uh not just uh simply because uh someone has come to rely on it right so that's one thing that's a that's a really fundamental sort of sort of objection that it ignores well ethics it tries to form an ethical Theory without doing ethics this is this is what I would uh what I would attribute mostly to I actually have a source right here um this book uh that is Ralph McInerney's ethical to mystica uh now I do have a bunch of course lectures on this book some of which address uh address not utilitarianism per se but consequentialism in general which is the sort of general theory that utilitarianism sort of falls falls Within um but it is I think a uh a solid critique of of utilitarianism because it because utilitarianism fails to account for the particularity of human beings and our actions uh so sh asks can we use the is from Human to objection uh this must be another use I think maybe I think you maybe can um I think there are fundamental problems with with hume's fork or that's not technically Fork sorry with Humes uh Humes is ought problem right and I actually have a a lecture I would highly recommend about uh it's something like uh the is ought pseudo problem uh which which basically shows that the is ought Gap does not actually exist there is no gap between is not that we can in fact derive ought State well it's not that we can derive odd statements from in statements but that alt statements are the same kinds of statements as is statements there are statements about fundamental reality so you could I think you could use something like hume's objection to JS Mill but it's worth noting that I think uh Mill would have something like an adequate response to that because um because just looking at it chronologically uh for example um Mill was writing after Hume made his uh made his critique and so uh what he was doing is he was trying to bridge an is odd Gap by appealing to utility right appealing to the greatest happiness of the greatest number right because you'll note Mill does not give a robust meta-ethical argument for why we should prove why we should pursue the greatest happiness for the greatest number he just assumes that that is a good thing and it's something that we value and if we value it then great we are already pursuing it and so well that's what we that pursuing the greatest happiness for the greatest number is fulfilling the ends that we have already chosen something like that uh so why should we choose that as an end well it it's either the Assumption of course would be that it's either self-evident or while it's just what you choose to pursue and well that seems like a good thing to pursue I guess there are better there are of course better answers to the assault yeah but that would be something like Mill's response or a utilitarian's response is that the pursuing the greatest happiness for the greatest number is is good because we consider it to be good because it's it's something that we we sort of innately pursue now later utilitarian sort of sort of following along after after JS Mill um argued that um that we necessarily pursue the greatest happiness for the greatest number because we value happiness innately uh simply that's what it means to act is to Value what we prefer rather than what we just prefer and so that winds up being a uh sort of tautology it's a it's an axiom in other words that we are pursuing the greatest happiness for the greatest number but I don't think that's actually correct because it's not universalizable all right so can't brings up this objection as well uh that ethics for it to be reasonable for it to be for it to be um for it to have normative Force needs to be universalizable and not just universalizable but you need a principle upon which to universalize which um bill doesn't have um Mill doesn't present a good reason to prefer the greatest happiness for the greatest number rather than the greatest happiness for particular people that you particularly care about for particular reasons but he doesn't give that I don't think he can get that because we as human beings do pursue uh pursue ends for particular reasons in particular people and all that that's what um that actually of course brings another a couple of objections these are these are maybe more surface level objections but I do think that they are quite effective one is the measurement of utility which is impossible right the the interpersonal measurement of utility is in principle impossible um Mill talks about uh talks about utility in terms of ensuring the greatest happiness of the for the greatest number maximizing happiness and minimizing suffering the problem with that is that our individual values this was this was really established later uh sort of in response to milk excuse me but um our individual scales evaluation are are ordinal um they are ordered as in terms of I prefer this to that rather than I prefer this x amount and this x minus 1 amount right you you can't assign a particular numeric value to any good that you would prefer and you can't assign any negative numeric value to any uh to any evil that you would disrefer pretty harm that you would just prefer so and so because of that because these values are only ordinal you can't compare across persons so if you can ask a utilitarian which is better for one person to have happiness or somebody else suffer right or so you know person a is would it be better if person a ha person a is happy but person B suffers or would it be better for person a to be substantially less happy but for person B to be neutral say okay a utilitarian would have to answer that question is how much more happiness would a have right if person B is made to suffer and if person a gets more happiness despite person B suffering then great it's it's the greatest happiness for the greatest number you've minimized suffering by increasing the happiness person a even if you're adding suffering to person B yeah but here's the problem you can't compare the number of units of Happiness the utils a gets from this additional bit of joy and you can't measure the amount of suffering that B has to undergo so that a can be X number of units happier because there's no units involved it's non-measurable and so you can't you can't calculate ethical outcomes like this um now uh this kind of can work out in terms of like Actuarial charts things like that like uh like lived years kind of thing so if you can save somebody's life or you can save somebody else's life you can measure like who will live the who will live longer all other things equal gosh excuse me uh insurance companies that do this sort of thing but but insurance companies are not known to be particularly ethical so I don't think that is where we should take our lead quite frankly um so the measurement of utility that's a fundamental problem for utilitarianism that's one uh the other problem is um what I like to call the YouTube snuff film objection which is that um if if I could on say this YouTube channel if I could get away with uh murdering someone brutally uh live on a live stream uh and enough people say I don't know I don't have a lot of viewers but maybe this one goes viral I have my snuff film and uh and a hundred million people get a slight little dopamine kick out of it they they enjoy watching me brutally murder somebody okay great I enjoy the fact that you have enjoyed that all 100 million people have enjoyed be brutally murdered on somebody I happen to enjoy brutally murdering somebody again hypothetically not I don't enjoy murder as far as I know I I don't think I would enjoy murder I should hope not regardless though if I did and if you enjoyed watching it even very slightly and 100 million other people enjoy watching it even very slightly that all that needs to do is outweigh the suffering of the one murder victim and so what that would mean is if I had prior confidence that enough people would gain utility from watching a snuff film such that it would outweigh the suffering inflicted upon the victim that I would have a moral obligation to murder someone film it and put it on YouTube if I could get away with doing so now the harm principle does avoid this good point the problem is the harm principle completely abandons utilitarianism so Bill sort of later in his writing brings up um he doesn't quite get to the harm principle um but we get to something like rule utilitarianism that we ought to obey rules that will produce the greatest happiness for the greatest number but that's not utilitarianism anymore because it's not acting for the sake of the greatest happiness of the greatest number now you're just talking about flourishing again now you're just talking about basically Kanti and Danthology you're just reducing utilitarianism to another ethical Theory uh so that utilitarianism has already collapsed and you're just desperately trying to recover it the same with the harm principle you can say well you can't uh intentionally inflict harm in pursuing someone else's greater happiness well says who and why there's no reason why not on utilitarianism on utilitarian grounds if harming someone is going to cause someone else greater happiness you have an obligation to do so because it will produce the greatest happiness for the greatest number and a rule saying that when harming someone will cause more happiness than suffering that you should do it will cause more happiness for the greatest number because of course it will because every instance of harm you inflict on somebody will cause a net gain and happiness I think this flaw is absolutely fatal the utilitarianism not internally mind you this is not an internal critique this is not a critique of utilitarianism that it's internally inconsistent or that it's self-referentially and coherent or anything like that it doesn't violate its own principles it just comes up with it's basically a reductive and absurdum it shows it shows certain results that we know definitely are not the case we know that it can't be ethical to just inflict random harm on people if enough people get joy at it um where's my videos go first of all look through the ethics playlist that's handy um let me write this down after the stream what I'll do excuse me after the stream what I'll do is I'll put a um put some links in the description both to some of my videos that are relevant to the subject as well as some external sources that I think will be uh will be useful I always first of all I always recommend as far as like peer-reviewed philosophical sources I always recommend both the Internet Encyclopedia philosophy just Google that you'll find it uh and the Stanford encyclopedia philosophy which you can either Google or it's plato.stanford.edu both of those have excellent peer-reviewed completely peer-reviewed sources uh articles on all these sorts of subjects including I'm pretty sure one or the other of them I know one or the other of them I forget which has an entire page dedicated to critiques of utilitarianism so there we go um so how do they do anything anything else to add anything I should clarify on any of that anything anything anywhere else I could point to what do you think pretty good pretty bad I mean hopefully what I've criticized has been pretty bad not what I'm said but you never know all right in any case let's uh let's keep asking here what went home with the Tana we'll come back to when things got Lively I wasn't here the others were though go ask them well what were you doing I've heard that someone's looking for men willing to do anything do you know anything about it if I knew you better I might tell you but as things stand okay so I have to be an evil son of a [ __ ] for these people to actually listen to me can't I just threaten them I'd like to threaten them sh as uh so Mill starts off with happiness we have helped he unite happiness is what we all desire and we should maximize it and goes into a contradiction with rural utilitarianism yeah basically he abandons he abandons act utilitarianism or rule utilitarianism because act utilitarianism has obviously wrong consequences but then by adopting rule utilitarianism instead he's basically winds up he basically winds up abandoning the principles of utilitarianism he's no longer pursuing utility he's he's now pursuing a sort of rule-based ethical system which is closer to something like deontology something you'd find in an annual comment or the mic I heard you gave him quite a beating it's his own damn fault really so he just came to tell you to go elsewhere that's what he told you bollocks he came with his own accord it was him start at the fast after he'd lost all his money he really tried to have a gun he was here betting her I wouldn't think he'd have it in him he tried but he didn't have much luck he does pack up pack a punch but landing it in the right place ah I'm not surprised he's got no children whoo that was that was good where someone was looking for men willing to do anything do you know anything about that no but I'm always the last to hear of anything like that I'll ask punch he'd know take care oh gosh um yeah shs his abandonment was in which of his works this is where my expertise hit its limit and unfortunately I can't recall offhand where he moves from act to rule utilitarianism and where he makes that where he makes that argument um I can see if I can find it like I said after the stream I'll see what I can do um but like I said it's not something I know offhand I'm not I'm not I'm not extremely familiar with the uh with the time period so Mill is technically out of my area specialization so um hopefully it's I think it's in oh gosh do we have it on myself sorry I'm just looking and seeing if I have anyone might be saying about anything dog's my memory you're an ass no I don't believe so yeah sorry I can't I couldn't tell you offhand um it was I want to say it was something moral theory but I'm I could be way off base there I could help more I knocked him down on top of it climbing with my tip the Tanner sent me he says you've been causing a commotion at night and I thought I might convince you to stop so all his whining finally found a friend Leo did it let me tell you something very well I'm the bailiffs man and we're not doing anything wrong here old Letterman's only been waning like that since he lost a bit of silver didn't bother him before that he told me different you're the bailiffs man of course he did otherwise no one would help him go ahead and ask the lads they'll tell you the same it's God's honest truth I'll tell you what your word but what should I do now glad I can help it I see it you've got two choices screw that old liar and leave him be or get down to business what do you mean bow down to business what do you mean get down to business well you may think you're pretty tough and if you give us all a thrashing we might think it over but then again we're no strangers to a hard fighting armor then you won't be coming here for a while will you but I'm a fair fellow so I'll make you an offer if you enter our tournament and win which means beating us all then we'll go elsewhere if you don't win then you'll fly oh look after you leave that's not so bad is it I'm looking for work and I've heard someone around here wants Fearless men oh boy do you know anything about this dude let's do this first I've heard they might be looking for their new [ __ ] so if you're not afraid of carcasses and the occasional pile of shape thanks but no thanks word has it someone's hiring mercenaries and other Fighters no well you've had more than I all right if I wanted to join in what would I have to do it's simple first you have to beat weed he's that not too dangerous looking fella there but some nights he gets that good rest and he's got God in his side then you can try one of those three doesn't matter which and if you whip all three you can test your metal against me fair enough so the last match is with you that's right they see a boat with me there's no joke just bad humors all right let's go fight you what did I tell you okay let's go beat up weed it's ridiculous hey there weed let's go to town let's do it let's go I've got my armor on best of luck loser no [Music] surprise oh ah [Music] there he goes next let's fight you look pretty good we'll see okay here we go this is this foreign [Music] ah [Music] how am I just grappling the hell out of this guy named Twix you're next that's fine that wasn't bad but let's good luck yeah let's let's get this done beat the hell out of these guys got me down oh [ __ ] that's a bad kick come on Henry I'm gonna get it you're wearing armor but like you should be better than this you're trained Warrior what the hey lanky your last let's fight second lasting last time you got me good oh wait I already got you oh okay fine [Music] yeah that was easy excuse me did I already stump what can I do for you I heard that someone's looking for men willing to do anything do you know anything about that willing to do anything meaning what something filthy helping the next one else that's not what I meant but all right never mind I'm gonna beat your teeth in that wasn't bad but now we'll take take wait did I already fight him I guess I did ow oh okay I'm just gonna ask uh what's his name punch we good I want to fight you you put on quite a show can't say I expected to take care now okay I guess we're good all right geez reading my reading the schnapps in the faceplate ah [Music] [Applause] oh yeah let's go hahaha got him against the wall okay this is how to beat somebody up hit him against the wall would you just keep kicking him into it I guess this is the this is this is how it's done there we go you okay buddy okay hey all right I'm gonna put my sword back on and my bow back on hey there folks [Music] never mind can you beat him without knocking him unconscious oh no he's gonna go wake him up for me okay good thanks betwixt thank you punch him a boy that was pretty good I didn't think you had it in you you were really good I've got to hand it to you most slides don't make it past me so listen I like to tell you something what's that there are people here looking for really tough men oh here we see you fit the bill so when you walk through town this evening if there's the light in the church go in and wait a while if they like the looks of it they might give you some work okay well think about it all right look here Lads I hope I won't be seeing you around here again go and find some other place for your games all right all right welcome impossible not likely but possible all right let's find somewhere to actually bathe because I could mess well it's raining that might just do it there's a light in the church oh God I went through the river did that too the Tanner big enough maybe I can talk to him just kidding so is there a light on in the church there we go I saw an article about uh like um an article about RPGs where you can kill everyone where every NPC is killable and this one was high on the list for some well not for some reason I mean for obvious reasons because you can in fact kill anyone um not that you should uh it almost entirely defeats the purpose of the entire game but you can in theory foreign okay [Music] use [Music] Hallowed be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done so you've been looking for us eh what is he wants that's a nice sword I really like that sword I hear you're hiring men who don't mind getting their hands dirty is that so where did you hear that taverns and the like people talk that's a pretty Tale but no one in any taverns told you to come here and wait did they so let's have it who told you I don't recall his name but he was one of your friends he said that he couldn't take me straight to you that I had to go through the church he was right about that but he still said more than he should have I know my way around you won't go wrong with me spare me the posting I've got a test ready for you let's see how you handle it before you tell us how wonderful you are what test nothing complicated we used to take anyone who looked like they could keep their head on straight but not now now you can only join if you do what we tell you which is what steal something no not theft if you want to join us you have to kill buyers and why should I kill him that's none of your business but I'll tell you anyway because it's an instructive Tale Pious was one of this but he [ __ ] up how did he steal something yeah that was part of it stole some money ran away few boys died over it showed a distinct lack of loyalty and as soon as he's dead you can join us we'll have to find him first you don't need to find him we know where he is then why haven't you killed him yourselves it's quite a test he's hiding in a monastery with the stable boys it's not hard to get into the grounds no no not there probably would have been dead long since Cloister death or whatever it is but only monks can get in there just monks and pious he's an educated bastard seems he used to be a priest but he didn't quite work out murder someone in a monastery you got mad as a sin as it is doesn't really matter where you do it yes it does I'd be spilling blood on Hollow grout knock him senseless drug him outside and finish him off where it's less sacred I don't give a damn way you do it just as long as he ends up dead that's wrong too but I suppose somewhat less so I mean there is the whole there's this whole concept of sanctuary that a uh that sacred ground is a sanctuary because violence is not to be done it's intrinsically um Blasphemous uh really sacrilegious and therefore and ultimately Blasphemous to commit violence on sacred ground uh even if it's Justified Violence right and so this is where the doctrine of sanctuary the legal doctrine of sanctuary comes from this idea that if you could seek shelter you can seek sanctuary in in uh in a church in consecrated grounded the law will will all right will not come will not come in after you now uh this is again this has practical reasons there are practical reasons behind this too from religious perspective that that you don't want to for example discourage someone from sacramental confession if they have a very good reason to go uh and if it can be you know a trap by the law then that will discourage that sort of thing and you shouldn't be obviously discouraging that sort of thing um which is another also like similar to one of the reasons for uh the sealed confession as well you don't want to discard you don't want to um give people a reason not to go to compassion because that has nasty spiritual consequences and do you have any other tests we're not high when stable boys we want men who are prepared to do anything and this is the toughest task we've got so how many many have you already sent yeah just a handful and what happened to them did they hang ah just the first one the others to entail guess they didn't have the stomach for it but how am I supposed to get into The Cloister hey you'll think of something maybe there's a secret passage I've heard there's some cave underneath the cave of saint precopius there might be a way into it from outside and do you have any other ideas besides secret passages well there is this one fellow been hanging around the taverns supposed to join the monastery scene might be he could help you somehow I tried talking to him if I were you and if he doesn't help knock him on his ass and take anything he's got that you could use to pass yourself off as him a layer of admittance to the monastery or whatever how will I recognize players you won't have been there long you should be the only new one there but what if there are others what does he look like normal he always went about well-dressed and had a fine looking dagger Yes except he'll be given a robe and they'll take his knife then you'll have to try and figure out which one of the novices it is and get him to betray himself try getting him drunk then send him straight to Hell get him drunk in a monastery we're better there's more wine there than in the Royal Cellars and I doubt he suddenly stopped drinking can I just not wondering what happens if I just say no I wanted to join up with you but that's too much even for me well that the dribble is there's plenty of us already so now we're only looking for the toughest and wildliest bastards we can find so if you're not up to the job what I suppose they ought to kill you just for peace of mind since you already know so much hmm maybe I should toss the coin I won't tell a soul you whisper a word of it to anyone it'll be the last thing you ever do of course there's another way you can get us off your back how go to the monastery slip past his throat take his dice and money and then come to the swamp and stay there overnight I see God be with you lad see you later I wonder if I can approach and tell pious basically fake his death key [Music] interesting the key about [Music] okay let's see let's see I'm gonna start at poverty Chastity and obedience all right so I should tell radzik first right Port this in oh right I forgot I need a torch here in the dark without a light right forgot sorry about that [Music] sneak on him [Music] thank you [Music] the world there we go foreign Brocade rare the hell is this thing there's no one in here okay it's gotta be in one of these right we shouldn't have a torch lit with the door open what was that nope wait is it Quest items yeah gotta be this one [Music] foreign [Music] okay what in the world oh okay sure foreign I don't get it it's a bolt of fabric pet dog [Music] okay well I give up I give up oops thank you foreign give up on that all right maybe we'll come back to that later all right this is what talk to the young man who's supposed to enter the monastery report to sir radzig what else am I supposed to do wait actually hold on I have some points dreadsteed faster would wounded me let's get it in storms not really racehorse oh I honestly don't want either of these I guess dread seed because it doesn't have any negatives to it pair man easier but drunk lucky Thief lock pick breaks slogans with repairman repair broken lock backs why not all right stinger not straight to the mill something's happening and obstacle mm-hmm foot foreign oh [Music] [ __ ] oh what's that look at that agony laughs God said yes does he see me we're shooting me with an arrow oh [Music] my God where's the bastard there he is oh no you don't there you go that's it right hey oh well good thing I got here first that guy would have been toast jeez doesn't help my health at all [Music] right let's see grab your Monies sausage wine I got some wine already I'm all right this guy how was he carrying a torch he was using a bow I don't quite understand that but okay whatever it's fine he's dead it doesn't matter there you are um okay now let's continue alongwards shall we yeah let's yeah let's go laughs Ambush really oh got me [Music] okay well they were drunk so that doesn't feel too nice probably could have avoided them I didn't find wine man actually you know what we're gonna do is work on a uh repair some stuff prepare some stuff I'm gonna need these and foreign nice oh man okay onward we go ah good morning [Music] all right so anyway thank you maybe Teresa can fix my shirt jacket still sleep what no go away okay well here's what I'll do I'll sit I'll drink some wine there's been 18. no can't can't do that never mind maybe I won't drink wine just kidding let's just sleep for a couple of hours [Music] yeah it's fine we gotta go see serratic but we're here that's what we're here for really foreign s want me to murder a monk is that okay I mean that's the thing it would be that's the thing even if it would be you know sanctioned by saradzik yes that would make it something like an execution really still sleep fine another hour uh that would make it something like an execution but again we encounter the sanctuary problem that that the only way of really accomplishing this is be would be going into sacred round uh with murderous intent or even not if even if not murderous intent right even if it were like a sanctioned and illegal and a Justified execution which I don't think it would be in this case anyway uh but even if that were the case it would still be unjust it would still be sacrilegious because it is an affront to an afford to God it is I know this is your favorite it is indeed thank you chaps yeah schnapps I've got something that needs stitching up could you do it for me all right I can't have you walking around in torn Rags can I show it here yay you fixed it I think let's go talk to sir radzig oh wonderful glorious liege okay [Music] up there somewhere oh excuse me hi are you Russell Brunswick I'll just wait [Music] good to see you lad so hanush told me you want his journey good job Henry you're here so this investigation into the neuhof massacre oh my God this is still about the noise who recruited Killers for privilege lovers they know the horseons who torch neuhoff that's excellent news did you find out any more so far not much if I'm going to infiltrate them I have to do what they say that means murdering one of their former cronies a fellow they call Pius apparently he was at neuhof too you have to kill a criminal to prove yourself to them huh I don't much like the sound of it that's not the worst of it this Pious is hiding out in the monastery pretending to be a novice I'd have to get inside The Cloisters to get at him that's another matter entirely they don't let just anyone Into The Cloisters and the Abbott won't give up any of the novices of course not secular law has no jurisdiction inside the monastery but this is the second time that something underwater has happened there first the counterfeit is now this I'd be glad to have someone take a look inside okay what should I do with Pious once I find him don't kill him bring him to the bailiff and ratte he'll interrogate the man and give him a fair trial it doesn't sound like an easy task so getting into The Cloisters finding Pious and then getting him to the bailiff far from it lad but I have confidence in your abilities it seems like the only way to find Pious is to join the order damned if I know how though a bit of meditation and learning would do you good if it's really the only way thank you then you'll have to do it I'm sorry I can't be of much help sadly my relations with the monastery aren't entirely congenial you'll have to figure something out for yourself goodbye babe so that's the thing if we do go in presumably not making you know solemn bows or not making um permanent vows because that's actually that's actually the thing there's a there's there's temporary values or provisional vows I think for the first year or two uh at least most monsters I don't actually know what order this is I'm most familiar with benedictines um but there's provisional basically short-term doubs and then there are permanent vowels in the permanent vows are are uh well permanent they're uh get rid of that uh they can't be reneged upon it's basically impossible um they are binding indefinitely for the rest of its life um but uh yeah let's do for it [Music] but we need oh we're on a horse okay yeah let's go oh wait let's switch swords again then okay Sasso all right anyway yeah so it's uh if he can if Pius can be convinced or cajoled or uh or even tricked into leaving the monastery suddenly he comes into the jurisdiction of secular of secular authorities and if he leaves of his own will even if that will is uh even if that will is coerced in some way uh then that is that is no longer per se violating the sanctuary this gets into some really murky ethical territory it's like it's basically like tricking or uh or presenting an ultimatum or that sort of thing cajoling or coercing somebody into uh self-incrimination because that's effectively what's going on here which is it it largely I think depends on the means by which it's done and this is going to be something worth looking into um because again I'm not I'm not hardcore dedicated here to to doing no wrong ethically speaking a lot of Henry's wealth is stolen let's just say that um oh although not nearly the majority um but in any case it is uh it is certainly oh wait let's sell some things first hold up your things to sell first let me go into the monastery and I'll make our vowel poverty um let's see we go that that and those that here we go we sell all this God save you what can I do for you I mean that's fine nice here excuse me um but it is worth uh it is certainly going to be plenty to discuss funny for us to talk about when uh if and when Henry is in a situation where he uh he has a uh say let's say a political obligation to do something to do something unethical because he has you know sworn obedience to serratic uh and so he he has the order followers dilemma um oops the problem of taking an oath of obedience is what if the person you have sworn to obey demands that you do something unethical uh you're in a bind because you could either do the unethical thing which is wrong or you can break your oath which is wrong Evan brawler Carl he's only got two hands a car good day to you what do you need are you called by any chance I am why do you ask I've heard that you're bound for the monastery yes yes it's true but I've convinced my faithful Guardian Manfred to give me a few more days of Freedom mind you you won't let me visit the brothel so instead I'm devoting those days to the demon drink with whom do I have the honor of speaking my name is Henry pleased to meet you Henry could we speak in private I have some um the monastery really well I'd love to talk about it but we won't have privacy as long as Manfred here has his head permanently stuck up my ass getting rid of him for me please take care now hey Manfred I'm honored that a knight such as you takes an interest in me you're Manfred the young Lord's Guardian indeed I am why hmm yeah let's uh let's just be looking for YouTube for quite some time I've been sent by the young Lord's father with a message intended only for him has my Lord changed his mind at the last minute who are you I've never seen you before you look trustworthy enough I'll leave you two alone for a little while God be with you that's easy hey Carl yes I know you're waving you don't need a wave we're good I'll have a beer for me manfred's taken care of just as you wanted thank you God he won't let me out of his sight for a second and he's itching to get me in the monastery so he can head back home why are you being sent to the monastery like every Lusty yeah and I'm fond of fair maidens but I got too fond of one and let's just oh boy indisposed for nine months but they don't send you to the monastery for that they do when it's the daughter of the Lord of your feet [ __ ] [ __ ] is putting it mildly the Lord of book of her was less than pleased he knows he'll never marry off his daughter now so he gave father a choice either pay him 1 000 Russian in compensation along with my balls on a silver platter or pay 1 000 in Russian and put me away somewhere no one will ever see me again well I mean justifying I suppose why not pay 1 000 Russian and Marry Her Like arrange a marriage it seems like you're both Nobles and there would not be a problem with that with her why does your guardian never leave your side so I don't run away of course I'm free to walk around but he watches Every Step I Take and won't stop until I'm behind the monastery walls well he's not watching you now what good is that to me when he has all the money and even my saddle and riding cloak under lock and key good point what if I entered the monastery instead of you what voluntarily you don't look like someone who'd want to spend the rest of his days on his knees praying that that's your problem you could only enter the monastery if you know how to read and write and if you have a special writ from the Abbott that's a letter confirming they know who you are and that they've accepted you so you give me your writ I'll just tell them I'm you Manfred has the Writ you'd have to take it from him but he only puts it down when he sleeps so I'll steal it and then you can disappear disappear bear asked what the hell would I do I don't know how to work I have no money and that old bastard's even taken my cloak he has me in the palm of his hand but there are poor people everywhere and they get by somehow if I have to choose between hunger and poverty on one hand on the monastic life on the other I'm afraid the monastery wins could only steal that old man's pouch I'd be gone faster than lightning and no one would ever see me again uh farewell this is ridiculous [Music] I'd like to speak to you about something what's on your mind but he doesn't want to be a monk I know unfortunately there's no other way you see he gave the Lord of bukova an unwanted grandchild he can count himself lucky wasn't castrated straight away but normally you just need to prepare some form of compensation for that sort of offense don't you yes one thousand question but a boy would keep chasing after women and who knows how it would all end the monastery really is the safety I mean that is true I hear you've got a writ signed by the Abbot granting entry to the monastery indeed I do what of it I need it what good would it do you you don't want to become a monk instead of him do you yes I do actually but I'll need that writ to do it now that's funny I've never heard such nonsense in my life the boy must enter the monastery and there's no way around it if you want to become a monk as well you'll have to earn your own place what if you let him run away the Lord of book of I would have me Whipped Carl isn't slipping through my fingers what if I give you a few shiny Groton for that writ could you give me enough to compensate for all those years of pay I'd lose uh uh yes what if I give you a few could you give me enough to come yes I could I have a lot of money hand over that writ of acceptance right now or things will get ugly pardon me I wouldn't give you that writ even if you threatened to kill me honor and Duty won't allow it take care now nope okay [Music] there's another thing that interests me why don't you just run away bear asked what the hell if I had okay he doesn't want to be poor [Music] I can't believe that worked here money I've got what you need excellent give me that purse but you're still going to need that right maybe if you run away get into the monastery he'll just give it to me there you are good luck no matter what you plan on doing with those monks best be on your way now before Manfred finds out that he's been robbed and what are you gonna do got it get my things together and disappear I want to be as far away as possible before that old man even knows I'm gone okay my pleasure hey uh he ran away uh can I have the written now I don't know if it's gonna work it's probably not there's still something what's on your mind what if I give you if could you give me enough to okay what if you let him a lot of books thanks take care uh okay another one Down the Hatch [Music] okay I'm gonna go ahead and uh sleep off the um the drunkenness at the monastery because why not I can just go there there's there's beds we this is ridiculous I mean the guy okay the guy has a point that um that going to live in the monastery is not the worst thing that one could do certainly uh it beats it beats a lot of uh of otherwise viable alternatives foreign I would even probably say it beats working for a living um there is so particularly within uh within this social context living becoming a monk and living in a monastery is is like I would say it's like it's certainly not luxurious but it's a safe and stable existence uh which is really quite valuable that's that's certainly a worthwhile thing to pursue like all of the the merits uh the religious merits aside that certainly it's a it's a fair and decent life uh and even I mean realistically even in the modern world there's there's nothing like monastic life has uh has serious benefits even in the modern world just given its uh it's given its Simplicity and and stability stability being a real serious one because again monks have this um have this very regimented lifestyle that there's a real draw to that there's a serious draw to that and I I mean I find it particularly appealing really of just the same sort of liturgical cycle of living and existing in a sort of an ordinary ordinary in the sort of liturgical term and predictable way there's a great deal to admire about that way of life I'm supposed to enter as a novice we expected you sooner weren't you supposed to come here with your guardian it's been so hectic lately people will keep turning up out of the blue he gave me the papers and left me at the gate you must be used to that though I'm not the first novice here am I but that wasn't very considerate of him was it it's been so hectic here lately novices arriving one after the other the last one didn't even have a letter and you think his backside was on fire the way he kept looking over his shoulder wait you let it back in without the latter you didn't find that suspicious my guess is he wanted to hide from someone but he's a priest and knows how things work in the monastery so there was nothing to prevent him from being accepted at least temporarily you're a different case though are you able to read naturally I wouldn't be here otherwise so then are you ready to enter the Order of Saint Benedict can renounce Forever The Temptations of this world okay it is Benedictine I am then you must read yourself of all your worldly possessions sell them or give them to the poor and needy or donate them to the monastery you may not enter this place burdened by worldly Goods inside the Gatehouse is a trunk in which you will find monks robes put away all your possessions and dress yourself in the habit then you may rest the while while I go and see the prior to arrange matters for your acceptance good luck to you okay let me get the robes from the Gatehouse strange feeling being without all of that I didn't realize how much I'd grown used to it oh I assume I'm gonna get my stuff bad everything's prepared it's time for you to take your vows do I really have to wear this you'd better get used to it you'll be wearing it for the rest of your life I mean not exactly there are different there are different robes for different degrees [Music] right [Music] this is chronologically quite late I forgot this is like 16th century or 15th century 15 or 16th century so they would have publicity polyphony was a which by the way polyphonic chant so harmonization basically was a late development very late medieval development this was not a it's not common throughout the high Middle Ages it's also typically improvisational which really fascinating it's very cool [Music] brothers in Christ we have gathered here today to welcome a new novice into our midst dear brother forget your former life and embrace your new vocation in the community of the monks of Saint Benedict foreign the service of God obedience and endurance of all discomfort these are the cornerstones and sucker of our order which on this day shall become your own dominance [Music] evam had non-confunder's expectancy your name [Music] your name made [Music] accept your new name brother Gregor and wear it with honor so the benediction order is known particularly for the for the uh the preservation and the celebration of Gregorian chant okay Henry's not good at this he's not cut out do we have benedict for the benediction order achievement unlocked Monk of course [Music] welcome I am Antonius a novice like you I've been instructed to guide you around the monastery and tell you what you can expect and what your duties will be thanks for helping me out during the ceremony I had no idea what I was supposed to do you don't know Latin do you don't worry work in the scriptorium will teach you fast enough why exactly are you here was it your choice or did someone force you to come it was my choice for a common nod like me it's the easiest way to get an education and do something worthwhile with my life it looks like we're both here for the same reasons I think we'll get along would you tell me something about yourself I'm a novice and I'm here because I would make a poor Merchant I like books and I want an education although I must say so far the monastic life's been quite unexpected how so let's go then good but before we do here's a letter directly from the prior telling you all your regular duties from Tomorrow onwards make sure to read it this evening so you know how things work right we can go now follow me closely I'll explain everything as we go okay remember one word discipline it's your job to work and pray you serve the Lord now not your own bodily needs why is it telling me there is a Tony in ratte I don't think I can go and do that tomorrow I will also say though the layout of this Monastery is actually very similar to the to the Abbey uh the The Abbey is Saint Leo where I the situations where we all sleep you'll find a free bed there which is now yours okay the first thing the monastery taught me to appreciate sleep we rise Before Dawn every day takes a bit of getting used to yeah that okay to be fair that would take some getting used to for me as well I'm not good at that not good at that at all oh this is wow that's good a place for silent contemplation and meditation centuries ago this Monastery was founded by the most esteemed of Brothers saint procopius his Earthly remains can be found in a cave under the monastery and his Spirit wanders the corridors at night punishing any misbehaving novices so beware that doesn't seem likely here are the fratery and scriptorium together with the library these are the places where we work Aura at labora pray and work as a novice you must always listen to your Superior brethren and above us Minds Pride punish every infraction you'll know them by the canes they carry do what they say okay this is the refectory where we come together to eat during meals you must be silent only one brother reads aloud from the rule of Saint Benedict the rule is the only law we recognize with the exception of those from God himself if you break any of its precepts expect a swift punishment but I've already told you about the circuiters the library the pride of our monastery Trove of learning we don't just read books here and we also copy them you too will learn how and that's all today you are still free from duty but tomorrow you begin work like the others if you need anything ask any of the brothers we'll be glad to help you and I recommend you get to know the other novices you already know me then there is siskin your dog and Lucas thanks for showing me around there's a lot to learn here will you tell me something about yourself there's not much to tell I lived in vlashim and after my father died I found out I wasn't much of a merchant so I left the shop to my brother and decided to become a monk it's peaceful here this food and lots of time to read so you chose to come here it may seem strange but I'm one of the few novices that did I might be the only one the truth is the idea of spending my life in a monastery was more appealing than being cooped up in a greasy old shop yes honestly like there are a lot of there are a lot of ways of life in this period that are that are far less appealing than monastic life I'd like to ask you something about the monastery are there any Rifts between the brothers yes from the moment talk began about electing a new Abbott it's been like a hornet's nest here strange if you haven't noticed tell me something about electing the Abbot Albert Peter is old when he dies they'll have to select a new Abba from amongst the brethren the candidates are John and nevlas and if you ask me for my opinion neverless is definitely the right man unfortunately no one cares about my opinion because novices get no say okay who's in charge of things around here truthfully everyone except us but officially Albert Peter and soon enough someone else as if it mattered our life will still be work and prayer I already asked about that tell me something about life here work prayer work prayer as if you didn't know we serve God and that's the central truth of Our Lives what are the roles of the various monks here someone takes care of the library someone else the god the Abbott supervises everyone and in his absence the prior but it's the circatas you should worry about they're the brothers who will make sure we observe the rule they can be quite strict so if you want to avoid getting punished always act righteously and do your duties honestly it occurred to me you might be the man to ask I'm looking for some lock picks do you know anyone in the monastery who could help me it's a bad idea to ask pigs you surprised me brother and you a nobleman's son but you could ask Brothers hilarious they say he used to be a thief okay wow really just tell him he won't know no this is a bad idea uh let's let's uh foreign how the fox found a pitcher and how her pride and anger led to her death oh this would be stealing wait I can't just I can't just take them to read that's dumb about this what's this remedies for fleas warts okay fine The Forbidden books must be in that cabinet book stood in there aren't for your eyes to see okay what would you like I'm Gregor a novice I know but I have no time for idle chat I transcribe books From Dawn till Dusk I've been doing it for years and I'll be doing it till the day I die what you do nothing else it is my Penance and my blessing and now brother if you don't mind I'd like to get this page finished read that already silence let us act in accordance with that saying of the Prophet I have said I will keep my ways and I offend not with my tongue I have been watchful over my mouth and I've I held my peace and humbled myself and was silent from speaking even good things if therefore according to the saying of the Prophet we're times to abstain for silence sake even from good talk how much more ought me to refrain from Evil words on account of that guilt and penalty of sin therefore because of the importance of Silence let leave to speak be seldom given even to perf to perfect disciples although their words be of good and holy matters tending into edification because it is written in much speaking Thou shalt not Escape sin and in another place death and life are in the hands of the tongue for behooveth a bastard to speak and teach and it becameth a disciple to hold his peace and listen if therefore anything must be asked to the prior let it be done with all humility subjection and reverence that he who asks may not seem to speak more than is necessary but as for buffoonery Idol words or such as move to laughter we utterly condemn and forbid them in all places nor do we allow a disciple to open his mouth to give them to give them utterance it is the interesting um it's not a vowel silence exactly it's more like a vow of about against unnecessary word unnecessary verbiage shut up unless you have something to say really not a scale I have by the way in case you've never noticed you're right it's stumped like a wine barrel in there and it's not the first time it's a mystery but one that will soon be solved it's a wonder the prior doesn't check everybody's breath the scriptorium oh hmm let's see what we can make here and let's see what we need to I don't need musculine for the lore absolutely not uh strengthen your blood that's extreme divisions strengthen Warfare no antidote probably not necessary before it's just rage not necessary digestive potion probably not necessary cockerell uh useful stores energy yeah Valerian to Mint Spirit okay Spirits one Valerian two mint okay Ryan the mint boil the mint for one turn add Valerian and oil for two more okay distill can I auto prove this I can't okay how many with each two mint okay what's going on here do I not have what that's why can't I do this Cockrell okay fine how about save your shops wine two handfuls of Belladonna and one of nettle uh boiled and nettles for two turns grind the Belladonna Belladonna boil for one more or have Belladonna or gold I could use it but I I probably don't need to application marrow yet oh Nighthawk I can't I don't know Belladonna or Paris poison no why would I do that reserver don't need it lithium water or no we don't need it lullaby could be useful but no hand foot could use it but I don't have cobwebs that's blood don't need it Vitalis definitely don't need it which potion definitely don't need which potion I can't make what was it Cockrell oh I'm neglecting my what oh I need to go to bed don't I foreign wow okay nine is rest in night time curfew okay well that means I need to go to bed where's bed back here right I think yeah this isn't right I assume I need to go up all right let's sleep till 3am okay foreign [Music] trying to find information in between um in between duties devlus who's the one with the lock picks what are you doing here tasty with you brother hi I'm looking for something a little um unorthodox bad what would that be exactly well nothing never mind um I'd like to ask you something about the monastery oh wow okay um well the Abbott is the head but he's not here now then there's the prior and the subprior the librarian the Porter and many others as a novice you should be particularly mindful of the circuiters they are the ones who maintain discipline and punish bad behavior okay what can you tell me about the novices here what can I say you're here to demonstrate your Devotion to God and live a monastic life after a year you can make your vows and become a fully fledged brother I meant something specific about the brothers that are here but you know them yourself your dog is an odd one but he's diligent and eager perhaps too eager this skin is good company but a bit too worldly for a monk Antonius is hard really and we'll help with anything but praise less than he ought Lucas is as quiet as a mouse and no one knows much about him and then we have you about who I know nothing okay can you leave the monastery where would you go you have everything you need here anyway all the doors here are closed and lock tight so no one can get in or out just a little bit odd because Monastery is particularly Benedictine monasteries were basically places of hospitality so that's a little bit off the old habit isn't dead yet it's too early to talk about elections but if I had to choose between the two who are already putting themselves forward John would be my choice okay can you tell me something about the rule of Saint Benedict seven centuries ago Saint Benedict of nursia wrote a collection of monastic rules which we still follow today they read it every meal the fundamental precepts are obedience work and prayer we're fully devoted to serving God the outside world beyond the monastery walls is foreign to us do you never want to know what's going on out there and what should be going on the sky is just as blue and the grass is just as green perhaps the rulers change but the greatest ruler of them all will remain unchanged Through the Ages amen I'm interested in the monastery's history it was founded by Saint procopius 500 years ago after his death Heretics occupied the place for some time but then the order was restored and brothers of the true Faith returned Heretics you say we wanted to worship god with some foreign rituals in a language foreign to God they were driven away and their books burned what sort of Heretics huh odd hold on let's see yep nope no uh fish it is already my favorite part of me where's the darn it I forget which monk was supposed to have been a thief at some point my suspicion is on brother Lucas foreign well he didn't have anything suspicious on his person so I guess maybe not though maybe still who knows yodok books no let me see what else I got okay it's too dark never mind foreign has nothing on his person that seems a little oddly suspicious to me I mean maybe it shouldn't but it certainly does let me see what else do I need to actually do that's my next thing I need to do 4 AM morning prayer okay 6 a.m meal I have time in between there is it right now oh it's almost 4 am okay probably should get going huh ah am I neglecting my schedule forget which monk it was it was supposed to have been a thief it's nebulous yep not the librarian clearly huh I don't have a torch either um all right lock pick this is an absolutely gorgeous monastery though I'm also utterly lost I'm Gregor a novice I saw you at the ceremony I know it was hard not to notice you yeah thanks Lucas also a novice don't get upset but I don't want to talk to you I'm happiest alone I'm suspicious of that I'd like to know something about the other novices I don't know much but ask away tell me about Antonius I'd like to but there's nothing to tell I've never spoken to him I've never asked about him interesting okay will you tell me something about yourself God there's nothing I can tell you I mean where are you from what sort of life you had before are you a priest I'm a novice and my monastic name is Lucas nothing else are you a priest how about that can you just can you ask that is there really nothing at all you can tell me I could but I don't want to I'm sorry I want to stay focused on work and prayer not on who I once was I'm really suspicious of this guy what has been isn't important for us we cast the past aside when we walk through the monastery Gates and took our oath never forget that um okay I'd like to ask you something about them well that's all never mind okay fine Yoda greeting brother I'm Gregor and I'm new here greetings to you brother I'm your dog the oldest of the novices I hope you'll like it here in the monastery and that you won't get into trouble for a while perhaps in temperate you might easily stray from the rules of the order I suggest you get to know the older monks you never know when you might come in handy okay I'm interested in the other novices I'm interested in Lucas nobody knows much about Lucas he keeps himself to himself if you ask me he's got something to hide either this is a really serious red herring it's Lucas or something he's Pious quite a lot and also none at all the circuits who made the rounds despise him and they'd never punish anyone without cause okay do you know anything about Antonio's only that he came to the monastery voluntarily because he didn't want to work in his father's shop Antonius is all right you can rely on him he won't betray your confidence so I should ask him about Pius which is more than can be said for the other brothers can you tell me something about yourself I would if there was anything noteworthy to say I'm just the ordinary son of a landowner now a monk there's nothing in my past present or future that anyone could find interesting why did he join the monastery because he was better than living in poverty as the youngest son I'm not entitled to inherit my father's estate but he was kind enough to sell off some cattle and send me here you know what I'm glad to be here it's better than looking out when you're yeah grant you that okay let's uh let's go to mass and fall down the stairs hey siskin my name's Greg a novice you can call me siskin are you here or your own free will or is this a punishment although it's not important welcome to Purgatory did you say Purgatory I mean sort of you'll see soon enough soon enough I mean will you tell me something about you Purgatory is the remission of temporal punishments to talk about the past you're hiding something why are you so reluctant to tell me anything about yourself I'm hiding a lousy past that I'd rather forget to think of all I lost when they stuck me in here and also because I really hate the question aren't you the son of the faint sir bits I was rich and I had everything but then my father began to feel his time approaching so he decided to send a son to the monastery and being the youngest the lot fell on me I have no head for managing the estate and they said I'd squander it can you imagine me in a monastery so I took what coin I could from home with me so I didn't lose out completely interesting they must have realized you robbed them I donated some of the silver to the monastery when I came in just to piss them off I can just see my brothers I mean my siblings arguing with the Abbott to give it back and you stashed away the remainder indeed so interesting what's your plan with this treasure to get out of here as soon as I can I'll wait another year or two until my hot-headed brothers cool off a bit and then I'll take the silver and run off somewhere far far away from here that's all I wanted to know okay please keep it to yourself especially the part about the coin thank you I'd be interested to hear let's see how about Lucas tell me about Lucas it's a tricky situation with Lucas no one really knows anything about him I've tried so many times to talk to him but he always backs away like a virgin on a wedding night there's a virgin wedding I know okay tell me about Antonio's well if there was a monk I'd recommend as a friend with of course the exception of myself it would be Antonius he has a calm Soul he's easy to talk to and you can always rely on him I'm interested in your doc what could interest you about him he's a no good rat he'll turn you in for the price of a turnip I'd bet my life that if he wasn't here he'd be a human Scout bowing and scraping for a few grocery that doesn't sound too flattering it wasn't meant to no matter what you do here watch out for him he's got his eye on everyone and he'll rat on you for even the slightest of infractions that's cool um to Mass just this way do I have a particular spot I should assume right here right right not screwing this up right go to church for brand Mass yeah can't you see we're at Mass are we okay anyway trying to see exactly I really hope I'm not screwing something up here like you know standing in Mass although are we at Mass there's no Mass being said that's odd uh or being sung I would thought I would have thought that that mass would be sung and that that would be a thing they would first of all game design wise I would think that would be a thing that they would put put through like a truncated version of of the Benedictine right mask especially because oh this is actually something worth noting the benedictines have their own right of the mass distinct from the Roman right um which it's very similar it's very very similar to the Roman Roman right of the mass but it is uh it's it's its own right technically um the most notable distinction being that there is no dealing um that there is they're standing uh and in the modern version of it they're sitting because with pews but at this point it was purely standing there was no kneeling and mass there was only there was only sanding and bowing for the Eucharist uh and so it's it's it's distinct in that way and also a couple of things in the order of the mass are slightly different than the Roman right um but it is its own uh its own technically its own right uh just due to the the sort of antiquity of the Benedictine order uh which is a cool cool little distinction that doesn't make too much of a difference um should I just wait meal was at six but I don't know uh in any case it is a it that's I'm I'm interested in the various liturgical rights and I I like I said I've said this before I usually maybe a maybe a third recorder at the time uh go to a Benedict you can write Mass uh because the um what is that I suppose Maybe that is uh that's where I teach I teach at St Leo University which is a Benedictine Monastery uh Abbey and University and so we have we have monks we have a monastic order there and uh and they have they have mass daily as well as I suppose on Sundays and that's that's right adjacent to our regular parish and so we'll either go to our regular Parish or we'll sometimes go to the uh The Abbey and I will say the Abbey is beautiful beautiful The Ivy church is gorgeous I don't know if it's it's not quite this well actually there's a lot to it's it is um it's a wood structure rather than Stone structure like this um but it does have these uh these picture windows although all of the picture windows in in our our Abbey are stained glass of various Saints uh various saints that are that are significant to uh to the order excuse me um very nice it's very very nice it's gorgeous let's wait shall we [Music] almost six because no meal meal times at six communal meal is six six am [Music] but it's not 6 a.m yet okay maybe not oh brother Porter oh sorry brother with your spirit also Mass would not be said at 5am or 4 am sorry that'd be sext I forget the full letter to the hours uh but they would be the months would be traditionally doing the literacy hours and so there would be there would be a morning prayer not a mass mass would be uh at traditionally what noon I think here we go yeah so Mass would traditionally be at noon not at uh about it not we're doing talk to Antonius before we go [Music] what troubles you I'd like to ask you something uh okay let's I'll be interested to hear what you think let's ask him about the other novices first I'm interested in Lucas no one knows much about him he doesn't talk to anyone he works eats sleeps then does it all again the next day it's as if he wanted to get it all over with as soon as possible by it I mean his entire life huh interesting what can you tell me about siskin that there's no man alive less suitable for them why can't I just ask if anyone's a priest you don't know young Laura capon I've heard things siskin must have been like him fighting drinking fornicating but then he ended up in here why is he in the monastery no one knows maybe he's hiding from something or maybe he's being punished do you think he has a secret performer and he does don't we all but unlike the others he absolutely refuses to speak about his life before the monastery that's all I wanted to know what about your doc be on good terms with him if you show even the slightest hint you don't like him he'll make your life hell he's a slimy little pedant who will rat you out to the superiors once he finishes his naviciate I imagine he'll want to climb his way out the ladder to at least circate her he's a man who enjoys ordering others around that's all thanks well that's not a uh I do want to tell Antonius about my search for Pius but what else do I need to do they have lost I'm Gregor a novice I know I saw you at the ceremony my name is nebulous and I'm a Provost here I'm in charge of the monastery's property as well as handling trade with the outside world that means you get to leave the monastery no not at all I just write lists and send them out tell me about yourself I'm the Provost of this Monastery it's my job to ensure the monks live a humble life and that any surpluses go to the poor but in reality I spend all my time making sure my brother's gluttony and the construction of a new church don't swallow up the few resources we have left uh is there anything I could help with you know there is perhaps you've heard that Abbott Peter is Gravely ill I'm interested in medicine and I know there's a cure for the Abbott's ailment with your help I could find out the details and together you and I could give old Peter a few more years to do good what do you say of course what would you need me for in order to get the recipe for this medicine a few rules will need to be broken now you know most of the brothers believe every illness is a message from God and that it's not our place to deny his will I however think if God sent us not just illnesses but also the medicine to cure them then it's our duty to relieve people of their suffering that is a far more could be monastic in our library but it will certainly be amongst the Liberty prohibiti The Forbidden books those who aren't committees they read why are they forbidden because they contain occult and demonic practices witchcraft in all manner of evil or so some people claim it's nonsense of course this is not think of the book of medicine albeit one written by a pagan even Cena also known as ABI Sena is universally acknowledged to be a wise man restricted at some point someone devil and must be kept under lock and key since then no one can even talk about the book I mean I don't know why it's 16th century Maybe not I mean I don't again this is slightly outside my period because I would know certainly that in the 13th century the The Works of avicenna were well read well respected and well circulated read by by bugs read by uh Scholars in some cases registered by courtiers his Works were very well known where can I find it in the library there's a large cabinet with a lock on it The Forbidden books are inside you'll easily recognize what you're looking for the cover has not only a Latin inscription but also saracen letters bring it to me but leave the other books there no one will notice if one book disappears but if more were to vanished someone would certainly begin to look into it which is exactly what we don't want okay is there anything you can tell me that would help there's a key to the cabinet in the priors Chambers the librarian should have another one or you can acquire some lock picks but I can't tell you where or how perhaps Brothers hilarious could help okay brother it's hilarious I'm ready one more important thing there's always someone in the library during the day to pass unwatched you'll need to go at night it's locked but I'm sure you'll manage to get in they say brother solarius understands locks but don't tell him why you need it once you have the book bring it to me and I'll then use it to make Peter's medicine we'll soon have the election of the app but over and done with okay brother solarius okay let's go to eat amend and make satisfaction but brother the rule of Saint Benedict stealing is a sin you should know that as a Christian and certainly as a monk what happens even if I wanted to forgive your eyesight without shall not steal that is to say he should show them all that is good very well brother I accept my punishment when did I steal now show me what you have on you I must confiscate anything that is not allowed in the monastery but what did I lose what did I steal oh God 22 hours Jesus was this about the the herbs that didn't those were marked uh stolen huh that's odd very odd how to put everything down was that I've stolen maybe I goofed something up there I didn't think I was seeing either odd very odd all right well the next day let's try again uh it is basically midnight though so I think we are gonna have to uh I'm gonna have to save we are gonna have to wrap it up for tonight while I was locked up someone was making quite a rocket in the cellar blowing drunk I'm sure of it interesting you know what's been going on [Music] I'm Gregor and I'm new here to get her job I know I saw you in the church during the ceremony I have a feeling we'll be meeting again soon and often you see I miss cicada what does that mean huh I make sure everyone observes the rule does their work and that everything is the way it should be um when it's not the way it should be but then we're authorized to meet out punishment but certainly you won't require correction will you bro apparently uh no let's not do that I found this piece of parchment it looks like it's been ripped out of a book words mean nothing to me they're asking the library okay I guess I will that's all Steve Orr it's washed all right that's all the time we have um I might I might spend a day a little bit of time going through and exploring the monastery doing some stuff off the stream but probably not probably I will we'll do probably all of this hopefully all of this next week uh so that'll be next Wednesday uh so my plan again is to uh to hopefully wrap up the the monastery segment next Wednesday and we will uh otherwise I will see you guys on Monday for more Mass Effect Andromeda uh and in between there I hopefully will have another video out the one I've been talking about uh recording about Star Trek and talking about the prime directive uh and I'm talking about Enterprise um time permitting we'll see when I manage to record that um it should hopefully be out sometime this weekend uh by this weekend maybe next week we'll have to wait and see uh keep a lookout for it look forward to it and otherwise I will see you guys next week on Monday once again for uh for Mass Effect Andromeda and again next Wednesday picking up right here where we leave off if in the meantime do you feel like donating helping me uh continue doing what I'm doing here if you like what I'm doing and want to help me keep doing it feel free to donate right down there to kofi.com Professor McCoy I absolutely appreciate anything you can anytime you can so with that I'll see you all next time and remember don't be safe be well and more importantly be good night everybody | Professor McCoige | UCXLwxZWfxxC2Gvjkm_P594w | 2023-05-17 | Creative

PtnUEz0rBG4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtnUEz0rBG4 | Traveling the World for Food & Wine: 2018 Rewind | hello my name is Matthew Corky my partner in crime and I have been traveling around the world for food and wine for the last three and a half years some call us digital nomads some cost location independent some call us wine gypsies this is the story of our most epic year yet here's what one year on the wine road looks like [Music] so here we are actually back to where it all started the very first episode of exotic wine travel was filmed right here hello and welcome to exotic wine travel I wanted it to be exactly like Wine Library TV hello everybody welcome to Wine Library TV I am your host Gary BAE [Music] hello welcome back to exotic Wine travel when we started the YouTube channel I wanted to be simple I'm just using an iPhone we're not gonna edit very spontaneous after a while I realized that that didn't work so we upgraded the camera we upgraded we started editing the videos and from then our trips and our invites just took off [Music] 2018 actually started out with a big bang cue that winter we actually found out that both of us had received fellowships to the wine writers symposium in Napa Valley after the new year commenced we got on a plane and we flew to Detroit Michigan when we arrived in Michigan we had lots of why waiting for us we received about a hundred samples of wine from Santa Barbara County we were also promoting our electronic books sipping Santa Barbara recommended wines and producers and after about a month we knew we had to jump in the car we drove across the USA in the dead of winter taking i-80 to Napa California home of the wine writers symposium 2018 and premiere Napa Valley [Music] the week was filled with learning tastings and parties the highlight of our young wine courier was probably in premier Napa Valley the first evening everybody was asked to do a 30 second to a minute video in the videos were popping up on the screen and we were all watching them Steven Spurrier the British man famous for putting together the the judgment of Paris he was a little bit bored watching the videos and then our video came up [Music] he just turned around to me and went like this the week closed with the premiere Napa Valley auction we caught some bad weather on the drive back to Michigan but made it home safely we went back to my parent's home in Michigan and we finished up our video series on the wines of Santa Barbara but it wasn't long before we were on the road again when it's baby think of New York the reason we were in the u.s. is we were hired to do a master class in New York City before we stopped in the Big Apple we went over to the Garden State we had met a guy named drew Diamond tail drew is a wine enthusiast and throughout the week we tasted her way around New Jersey in Manhattan hey he took us to Philadelphia and gave Shireen her first taste of Philly cheesesteak the Croatian wine masterclass was the real reason we were there Shireen and I delivered a class to a packed house that included representatives from the wine enthusiast Wine Spectator wine and spirits in decanter magazine after finishing the master class we flew to Europe I went to the south of France for lengua crucial week while Shireen went to Italy for a natural wine event it was our first time traveling separately since we started this lifestyle and it gave us some much-needed breathing room after a prospective week-long apart we arrived back in Croatia for our biggest and most ambitious project of the year so sit back relax and join us as we go cracking Croatian wine our book cracking Croatian wine had been out for almost a year it was selling every single day but now we were frustrated not selling the lovely one so you see said you know what we're gonna put together a travel video series and bring the book to life [Music] over the course of a month we toured the entire country and recorded a 12 part food and wine series we wanted to stretch ourselves and make an Anthony Bourdain style series it was a hectic month that allowed us to show off the beauty of this country and promote our book and Croatian wines at large it also gave me a chance to experiment with different types of shots [Music] after wrapping up the shooting we flew out as a krub to Puglia the heel of Italy Sherina I judged at the radicchio del suit a big competition featuring wines from all over the south of Italy the competition also had an attached press trip which gave us deeper into the pullian culture and food which is stunning in its simplicity I guess you taste it and then what you mouths like graduations on your mom the week came and went quickly and we were geared up for the heat of summer after adichie del suit we had to finish up all the editing for cracking Croatian wine at the last second we chose a return of a lot of faithless cities in the world Budapest Hungary I hadn't booked accommodation because I was kind of uncertain where we would actually be the only place available for four weeks to six weeks on their B&B was on the outskirts of Budapest the outer eighth district it was actually known for drugs and prostitution in the past and you could definitely see some of that there are definitely some people that were probably a little bit drugged out you could see some Street walkers once in a while but we didn't let that dampen our mood during our time in Budapest we got a lot of work done while giving deeper into the Hungarian food and wine scene we were introduced to a number of new producers in the meantime we kept releasing our cracking Croatian wine videos our brush and wah repa sowed caught on and reached over 25,000 views on Facebook in just two weeks Shareen already loved Hungary but became even more enchanted with the colorful endless variety of food this is an experimental breed from a cheese maker of the Republic Owen do you think about the food here and then we got an email an invite from a really unlikely place romanian born mikvah salah she found out about us after buying our book on clerking the caucuses he since started a winery in romania and invited us for a visit yeah I've been avoiding Romania for a long time because I had some friends that went and actually had unpleasant experiences our prejudices were shattered in our short time in Romania it was full of good food and wine in addition to the more hospitality of the people little did we know Romania would play a bigger role in the near future for us we returned to Hungary went on a few cellar visits thanks to taste hungry including the first of our three visits to toka in 2018 5-star vintage in Tokai soon we were off to Italy again this time we were going to the island of Sardinia we went to the island of the judge and take part in the Calgary International Food & Wine Festival a highlight of the trip was a sheep roast in the highlands of Sardinia it was scorching hot but that didn't stop producers from showing us their traditional food paired with big spicy cannon out at this point I have to talk about a good friend Fabien linae we haven't met a lot of helpful people from the media side of wine but Fabien is one of them he's a one-man wine agency and has connected us with a number of press trips during the last year we saw him about every two weeks after Sardinia we flew of a Budapest for just a few days we enjoyed my birthday in Budapest before heading to Slovakia for a two-week self-guided press tour our friend Peter wrote our got us a large Toyota Hilux and off we went I the pinna truck it was our second big wine trip through Slovakia in less than a year we continued to be impressed with the quality of wines coming out of this country that although has a long history of viticulture isn't associated with wine it was a hot and epic end of the summer but pressure started to mount so our business account was starting to get a little bit thin we fought through the stress because we had a big fall planned before a series of big trips we stopped to visit a friend in Oradea Romania he treated us well and put together a number of epic tastings before we hit the road again after a rally we took a flix bus all the way back to Budapest to go on this four-day trip with Hungarian wines that EU we've won at web braiding contests and our reward was a four-day trip through the wine regions of Hungary there was a chance to make even more Hungarian wine connections and we visited Tokai again the trip ended with a big Hungarian wine tasting and luckily we bumped into a friend from the virtual world Sascha pop of vino Co he offered to take us from Hungary to Slovenia where a next press trip was scheduled to begin while this happened we got some great news luckily I had overpaid taxes a few years ago when we got a tax return in so that kind of helped set us up nicely for the next few months [Music] with that little bit of relief we were able to enjoy two of the most memorable press trips of the year the Vltava Valley was named one of the top ten European wine regions to visit by Lonely Planet in 2018 it's home to breathtaking scenery and killer wines made from a number of unique local grapes a few weeks after that trip we headed the port of Portugal from port wine days 2018 there we celebrated the 2016 vintage declaration it was a magical week for Shireen as port was the first wine she fell in love with mr. team collect nectar for tasting [Music] we finished up with port wine days we went back to Croatia rent an apartment just to pound out some work and we really didn't have anything planned for the end of the third quarter in the fourth quarter 2018 and then all of a sudden boom things happen out of the blue we got invited to a festival in bosnia-herzegovina celebrating the local grapes jelica and platinum the event was immediately followed by an invite to participate another press trip throughout Croatia it was a great opportunity for us because a number of European wine magazines had representatives on the trip it was an intense five-day trip which included late nights early mornings and long bus rides the morning after the trip ended we had to take a 9 hour car ride from Dubrovnik Croatia to Adria Slovenia for a festival on Pinot Noir at this point I think I have to mention Sasha she onit's Sasha is one of Croatia's most respected wine raiders he's been the most helpful person we met in the wine industry thanks to Sasha we were how to speak in New York take part in a number of Croatian wine trips and he even engaged us to produce our latest video series today we're gonna introduce to our crazy autumn continued as we were invited to judge the IWC be marking the third visit to Romania in the year we followed that up with a trip to Vienna for the orange wine festival it was an exciting few months but the hectic schedule started to catch up with us we had a great time at the festival but we were really feeling the stress on a relationship because of the last three and a half years together every single day or dependent on each other for everything from emotional intellectual needs and really started tickets told we had been in Europe for two straight winters something that Shireen was not very fond of because she doesn't like the cold so after the one final show in Croatia we decided to head back to Asia via Moscow spend two years since I've been back in Asia it feels a little bit weird taking the metro stop to Hong Kong to see some friends in the ten two big tastings a pinot noir event featuring New Zealand Australian wines in addition to James sucklings great wines of Italy on top of all that we made time to indulge our craving for authentic Asian food that we were missing in Europe we were feeling the pressure of returning to Singapore and seeing our friends and family especially because exotic wine travel is yet to be successful as we want it to be even though that we felt the pressure we knew that we had to go back so here we are we're back in Singapore back where it all started it kind of makes sense that we should be here after the best year that we've had in the wine industry it's been an incredible ride it hasn't been without its challenges this year definitely obviously a business not where we wanted to be stress on a relationship both of us especially more me put on a ton of weight to hurtle a couple over the years so we're working towards fixing that but the people we've met the experiences we had the places we've traveled the wines that we've tasted have just been mind-boggling they've been out of this world so 2018 s coming to a close and we're looking forward to 2019 we're going to continue to push to bring you some of the best and most exciting content in food wine and travel and I trying to push the next level this is the very first year that we felt accepted that we're actually part of the wine industry shereen's in the corporate world and she asks and she gets asked a lot of times even though she talks about sometimes you're missing the corporate world some of those intellectual discussions and people ask her she would do anything differently and she always says no I won't do anything differently and that's the way I feel I I wouldn't do everything I wouldn't do anything differently it's been a wild ride and I hope you're there with us in 2019 until then drink adventurously expand your palate and expand your mind you | Dr. Matthew Horkey | UCLHV64JXsIYkw-xzKLsLJAg | 2019-01-06 | Creative Commons Attribution

66p9qlpnzzY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=66p9qlpnzzY | Strong & Weak Emergence | emergence describes how new higher level properties pattern and functions form as we put the component parts of a system together this process of emergence is a pervasive phenomena in our world exhibited by virtually all types of complex entities such as plants animals technology humans societies cultures and economies it is apparent that new levels of organization are formed as we put things together for example when we look at a flower we do not see a composition of molecules cells tissues and organs but in fact we see a whole flower likewise a whole business organization is given characteristics and legal rights that are not associated with any of its members although this emergence of patterns on different levels is apparent what is not so apparent is whether these emerging organizations are fully determined and understandable with reference to their basic component parts or do they exist in some way independently from the elements that constitute them which should mean that they cannot be entirely reduced to causal accounts derived from their Elementary Parts alone this distinction in emergence is captured in the terms strong and weak emergence where weak emergence refers to the idea that even though emergent phenomena are expected given the principles governing the lower level domain they are still however fully explicable only with reference to the lower level phenomena in contrast a higher level phenomena is strongly emergent when it arises from the lower level domain but the facts concerning the emerging phenomena are not derivable even in theory from the features of the lowlevel domain weak emergence is the phenomena whereby new and unexpected patterns emerge due to the interaction between the parts the sheer number of parts and the interactions make it extremely difficult to compute this high level phenomena based solely upon the elementary parts and their rules however from the weak emergent perspective given sufficient computational capability it would be possible to derive the higher level phenomena and thus there seem to be at least theoretically a derivative or what we call the an epip phenomena new phenomena and patterns do emerge but the reason we cannot predict them is that the number of interactions between the components of the system increases exponentially with the number of elements and we typically do not have the computational capabilities to deal with such a dynamic with this weak emergence it is possible to compute the higher level phenomena but typically much easier just to look at it directly thus this weak emergence can be understood as a kind of explanatory emergence that is to say the emergent features are ontologically and causally derived but in practice they are explanatorily irreducible due to the computational complexity new rules may appear to emerge at the different levels But ultimately if we had the computational capabilities we would be able to understand all of the rules at the different levels with respect to lower level rules thus if if you had an extremely high level of computational capability you would not need to focus on the higher level phenomena but understand it instead from first principles in such a case one could look at it as caused by its purely discret Cellular Parts an often cited example of weak emergence are cellular autonomous computer programs like The Game of Life the game of life is played on a grid of checkers where a cell can be either on on or off there are four Simple Rules as to whether a cell should be on or off depending on the state of its immediate surrounding neighbor cells these simple rules when computed can create very complex and subtle emergent patterns that appear to have their own internal structure such as blinkers that are a group of cells blinking on and off or gliders that seem to Glide across the screen all of which are emerging phenomena these programs also exhibit sensitivity to initial conditions and it is very difficult to predict what will emerge based on the initial conditions and ground rules although these programs can create emergent patterns they are said to be weakly emergent because they are determined by the elementary rules the starting State and because there is no downward causation the macro level system does not change the micr level rules this weak emergence is characterized by the interaction between Parts as the system evolves leading to computational complexity and the appearance of something new emerging what in fact is theoretically reducible to causal accounts of the elementary Parts one cannot in any straightforward way derive the higher level phenomena from the fundamental rules thus compact representations such as equations do not tell us very much about what is going on because we need to compute the inter reactions to produce the higher level phenomena these weekly emerging higher level phenomena do not affect the lower levels that is to say there is only upward causation present the macro level is determined by the micro level but not vice versa there is an asymmetrical flow of determinism macr level patterns are not doing anything over and above what the micr level elements are doing to affect the position and behavior of the elementary part an event is thought to be strongly emerging when the higher level phenomenon derives from the lower level events but a complete description of the emerging pattern is not reducible even in principle to an account of the elementary Parts in their interactions along with this irreducibility downward causation is commonly cited as a second criteria for strong emergence strong emergence entails the idea that something truly new emerges at the different levels of organization that cannot theoretically be reduced to accounts of the elementary Parts the whole is something truly other than the parts thus it makes sense to talk about qualitatively different levels or Dimensions to the system as the rules that apply on one level become replaced at least partially by rules of a qualitatively different nature on another level these higher level patterns can then exert downward causation on their constituent paths to affect their structure and functioning strong emergence describes the direct causal action of a higher level system upon its component parts qualities produced this way are irreducible to the system's constituent Parts one of the classical examples of strong emergence given is quantum entanglement Quant quum entanglement is a phenomena within quantum physics where two particles spin States becomes entangled meaning the state of one is entirely dependent on the state of another it has been empirically proven that the combined entangled organization determines the spin direction of the parts the two particles can be light years away from each other but if the spin is changed on one this will be immediately reflected in a change in the spin of the other thus the combined organization is in some way affecting a downward cause on the parts another example from physics of strong emergence is water whose features are apparently unpredictable even given a molecular or quantum mechanical analysis to the properties of its constituent atoms it would appear that no computational description of the system can exist for such a simulation would itself constitute a reduction of the system to its component parts the emerging phenomena in this case cannot be described with reference only to fundamental rules but instead requires some form of macr level rule likewise human consciousness is another often cited example of strong emergence whereas with closed systems the whole should be theoretically derived and caused by the parts this however may not be the case with open systems the parts form the whole but but then the system has to interact with its environment as an entire system and not simply as a set of Parts this interaction with its environment requires that it perform functions and activities as a whole system an example of this might be walking which can only be achieved by the different legs being coordinated and interdependent for the system to operate within the environment as a whole it may have to exert a downward effect on the parts in order to coordinate them towards performing the macro level processes that are required to interact and respond to the environment for example we can derive the internal workings of a truck from the basic laws of engineering and physics but using these same Elementary internal rules we would never be able to derive why the truck is designed to drive on the left or right hand side of the road this phenomena is not a product of the internal logic of the truck's design or of the physical laws that govern its workings it is instead a product of the systems interaction with other systems and some historical political and economic contingent within its environments which may be seen to be exerting downward causation on the design of the truck the biologist Peter Corning illustrates this when he writes quote the debate about whether or not the hole can be predicted from the properties of the parts misses the point holes produced unique combined effects but many of these effects may be co-determined by the context and the interactions between the whole and its environment this question of strong and weak emergence is of major relevance as it goes a long way to defining whether we should focus our inquiry on the micr level structure and rules that give rise to the high level phenomena as would be the case if we posit that the world is weakly emerging or whether we should instead focus on the internal patterns of the emerging phenomena in their own right as would follow naturally from assumptions of strong emergence as such the concepts of strong and weak emergence form part of the foundations within the different scientific paradigms of reductionism and holism reductionism is based on the premise that complex phenomena can be broken down into simple building blocks from which higher level events can be reconstructed thus a reductionist approach would typically ascribe to a weak emergent view of the world where complex macr level phenomena would admittedly take vast amounts of computation to derive from the basic physical building blocks but however given such a capability they would be fully explicable from the elementary parts and rules the weak emergent Theory inspires the idea that the goal of science is to understand the basic building box and rules for their construction and drives a quest for the theory of everything as seemed to be found in some Elementary Parts as is currently the quest of such approaches as String Theory systems thinking is instead interested in pattern and processes it refers not to building blocks but more to patterns of organization and processes of change that are common to all types of systems on all scales without interest in reducing higher level phenomena to those of a lower level as such a system's approach is built on a strong emergent view of the world given strong emergence a Theory of Everything derived from the elementary Parts such as strings would end up being just one of many components necessary for a complete understanding of the universe and thus not necessarily the only one within the systems Paradigm as all phenomena cannot be simply reduced to an account of Elementary Parts the goal of providing a unified description of the world is instead look for in abstraction abstract patterns of organization systems thinking looks at how these emerging patterns on different levels have similar Dynamics and from this tries to develop abstract generic models that are relevant to all scales because they capture the features inherent to emerging processes on all

how few of us know how to make love properly and how very few after making it know how to keep it so much depends upon the kind of love which is made there are no artificial methods of preserving love but the best kind will keep forever few beginners know how to make the lasting kind and many even of those with a vast experience are still quite clumsy the only way is to keep at it we hope that this book will fill a long felt want surely of all long felt wants the want of love seems longest it is for the earnest student of true love that we have compiled this cyclopædia o'hare furred and John

honorable society of psychic research just when we cannot tell for unfortunately the date is only left in part but it must have been long long ago when love was very young there has been that much controversy over this fragment some claiming it to represent a jaybird and others a duck some an owl because of the moon in its eye but we are sure it's a love of a dove why because a jaybird is blue a duck has webbed feet and an owl a hooked bill it is a jolly letter and has been at the beginning of much joy and foolish jealousy the worst thing had ever did was when it started the word guilt the

surface and is without question the most intensely populated it is a green and fertile country and the principal occupation of its people is a horticultural husbandry the form of government is home rule and to become a citizen although born in the country it is required that at least one complete journey be made from end to end of the country's principal highway this at first seems an odd requirement but there is good reasoning behind it first as this great highway known as the path of true love in its devious windings touches practically every portion of the kingdom the trip is likely to open the travelers eyes and teach him much of the resources and conditions of the country he wishes to call his own second as the road is rough and in places sometimes seemingly impassable the trip will test the determination and stability of the most hearty turn to the map and we find a moria bounded on three sides by misanthropy ah the state of indifference and the sea of oblivion emptying into which at the quarrel River forever pours its flotsam and jetsam on the upper side you will see it as bounded by the edge of the map this is because it is too cold in that direction to sustain

of the map we find Mount curiosity its snow-capped peaks lost in the soft gray veil of mist that has prevented the scientist from determining its greatest Heights the ascent of the mountain is usually made on the side where it comes nearest to the state of indifference see note why here a well-known path known as the path of least resistance takes one by such a gradual and agreeable route that little or no effort is realized in the climb and it is usually a surprise when just a little below the frost line one comes suddenly upon a little plateau high high in the heavens here the air is salubrious and the temperature even the view is so wonderful in the early dawn that the most phlegmatic will become enthusiastic this little plateau is known as the plateau platonic and is quite flat in spite of its beauty and charm few travelers are satisfied to rest here long in leaving the plateau one must have a care for there are two paths quite similar in appearance one leading up the mountain to nowhere and loneliness and the other the commencement of the path of true love the careful traveler need not mistake the path for beside the entrance at about the height of a man's heart and nailed to a great oak is a crudely fashioned hand with finger pointing the way this is called the hand of fate alas a too few take the trouble to look for this guide and many take the wrong path while those who by sheer luck take the right one are easily discouraged because of the very uncertain condition of mind they soon find themselves in these usually lose heart before going a long way or in their careless method of progress takes some wrong turning and come to a swift and bad end but we will follow the progress of the traveler who believes in signs it is hard to describe those first impressions as one comes swinging down the mountainside and sees winding far out and across the verdant Valley of Dreams dotted here and there with its picturesque castles the path of true love like a silver thread it seems so bright and pure and off to the right there is such a happy pink low in the sky that one usually finds himself humming some old love song luckily the traveller who puts a clover in his buttonhole while crossing the valley of dreams for all too soon the cold winds that sweep across the lake indifference and make the trip around it a perilous and discouraging one will be chilling his marrow he will need to both courage and luck when rounding the upper end of the lake he comes upon the rough and rocky stretch of road running along the edge of a fearful precipice which overhangs the lake and is known as the height of indifference here one false step and all is lost past this danger the road turns from the lake but the traveller has hardly time to congratulate himself upon the warmer conditions when he is confronted by a most disconcerting range of mountains known as the mountains of opposition if you do not cross the mountains the mountains will double-cross you so push on and with tact and determination they will be overcome the mountains past a smooth bit of road is reached and brighter weather that after the lowering clouds the storms and many obstacles met within the mountains will likely mislead the traveller into thinking his troubles over light-hearted he will push forward hurriedly taking a little heed of the fast increase in cold fortunately adjust at the edge of the map and just upon the longitude of respect the road takes a sudden sharp turn but it is almost from bad to worse for it plunges the traveler into the forest of misunderstanding a dark and dismal place that will fill the strongest with misgivings the only way is to stick close to the road this is sometimes hard in the darkness as there are many by paths travelers once off the correct road have been known to wander for years without once seeing the sunlight about halfway through the forest there is a road turning to the right it seems the easier way dipping down as it does into a little Valley and across a turbulent little stream beyond which it disappears from sight in the tangle of brilliant foliage covering Mount folly unhappy he who takes this turn for there is many a slippery stone in the bed of this stream and the crossing is not a happy one if one would turn back at the first slip but human nature is stubborn and few do besides there seems little choice between the dismal forest behind and the lure of mount folly ahead folly lasts but a day however and the foliage it soon loses its attractive coloring the foolish Wayfarer then pushing on finds himself again confronted by the turbulent stream but easier to cross this time a little way further the path ends at what appears to be a refreshing spring it is the spring of untruth and he who lies to drink of its waters will ever be a slave of the drug again as one is nearing the edges of the Black Forest is another road leading off to the left and to the spring of mistrust turn not aside nor drink of this spring its waters are bitter and this turning but takes one back into the depths of the dismal forest emerging from the black forest of misunderstanding the Road winds across a fertile and easygoing Prairie land twice crossing the acid waters of bicker brook cenote 23 and crossing the quarrel river takes its course along the foot of what by many is considered the most beautiful mountain in a moria mount unselfishness the going is easy here and when one comes to a little road branching off and running right up the mountainside he is apt to feel very little inclination to take it nearly every traveler knows by hearsay that this is a shortcut one should take but standing at the foot of the mountain with a broad smooth Road on one hand and this little used difficult mountain path it is hardly more than a blazed trail on the other it is much to the travelers credit who attempts it at all quite a few do however it began the ascent but almost without exception have not the strength to continue and turn back to the main highway only to be shortly plunged again and again in the cold and caustic waters of the quarrel River as the road crosses and REE crosses it there are no bridges here and many a poor traveller becomes exhausted in the mad battle with the current hopelessly loses all self control and is carried away to be lost in the sea of oblivion at the river's mouth is lost hope island this is really nothing more than a bar and the superstition has it that bear on stormy nights when the tide is coming in congregate those poor lost souls and it is claimed on good authority that the dis chords of their mournful songs can be heard even as far as the edges of the desert of absence after these several crossings of the quarrel River the road again becomes easy and travel should be a pleasure but the traveller is weary from the recent struggle with the river and is almost thankful for the flats stretch of road where at first crosses the desert of absence it were often better if this bit of road were longer for before the traveler entirely regains his former vim he is deep in the unhealthy mist and quicksands of the slough of despond and it is in a very weakened condition that he commences the second crossing of the desert of absence in this condition is it strange that one loiter in the oasis of flirtation the one bright spot in an otherwise dull desert but an oasis and a flirtation have their limits and when one's thirst is satisfied one wants to move on and well this is for the traveler on the path of true love for only a little and the desert is fast and the road leads for many happy miles through the sweetest and most beautiful meadow land where the warm sunlight the songs of the birds and the sweet odor of new-mown hay repay one for all the hardships of the past and so stimulate the traveler that he strikes out upon the third crossing of the desert of absence with a light step and a song in his heart and though the trip is longer it seems far shorter than either of the previous crossings so happy indeed has he been and with the soft airs of the desert making his heart grow fonder the way seems so easy that the sudden obstruction of two of the lesser Spurs of the mountains of opposition fill him with misgiving and the valley between them is well named Blue Valley cenote 13 in such a condition of mind the traveler plunges down the mountainside and is soon deep in a great gloomy forest not likely to raise his spirits but rather calculated to depress them still more imagine then the elation when bursting at length from the depression the forest of bloom the traveler sees before him that transcendently beautiful mountain Mount Hope well may he hold his breath and gaze in rapture for before him Rises the most beautiful mountain in all the world and will ever be as long as life lasts with its velvety slopes and the shaded Dells it's little silver rills tinkling down the mountainside sounding like fairy laughter through the trees the gently stirring air freighted with the perfume of myriads of fragrant blossoms and overall a tender rose-colored glow reflected from the soft pinky clouds that forever tenderly rests upon the mountain stop it is indeed the most beautiful of nature's jewels so it seems with hope so long deferred to that tired I'd struggler upon love's Highway often heartsick and oppressed by the vicissitudes of the way for here he may rest and gazing again out over the deer valley of Dreams rejuvenate the yearning the ambition and the determination that have brought him through so much to these he must now add hope and so equipped and refreshed he dashes a second time through the forest of gloom and though confronted by the most stubborn and rocky section known as an apparent peak in the entire range of the mountains of opposition his past experience and his added strength carry him over with little effort and coming down the last steep slope his heart gives a bound has his eye follows the smooth roadway stretching invitingly across a nearly level expanse of well cultivated country thickly dotted with the happy homes of those who had once been travelers like himself if he be not short-sighted he is able to see even as far ahead as to where the road and his lonely journey in heavenly mount hearts desire as he passes along many a cheerful face smiles out at him from the doorways and many a cheerful word of welcome and greeting encourage him to hasten the smiles of the rosy-cheeked children seem especially sweet to him the journey's end the goal is reached not remains further for the traveler now accept the oath of allegiance which is performed with considerable ceremony in the little church just around the corner to the left note mount heart's desire is of an attractive shape and ethically surrounded by orange blossoms no two travellers agree as to its height but we are of the opinion that it must be about five feet three or four inches within it is a little shrine called trust which is the duty of every worshipper to protect note why it seems more than a mere coincidence that the path of least resistance should run up mount curiosity on the side nearest to the borders of the state of indifference and there is a very ancient tradition that the first person to make the ascent came from that easygoing country we believe this tradition to be another version over the Adam and Eve story and feel that it conclusively proves us right in our calculations as to the exact location of the Garden of Eden we claim it was situated in that part of the state of indifference near to an in full view of Mount curiosity and that Adam was the first man to make the climb we also believe that Adam became lost on the mountainside and never returned to Eden and that the path of true love gives a pretty good idea of his subsequent wanderings of which so little heretofore has been known at any rate vast numbers from the state of indifference make the ascent of Mount Curia city every year and many of our best citizens have come from that state note 23 at this point after the more or less extended journey through the unhealthy forest of misunderstanding the traveler must have a care especially if he be of a sensitive nature for the shock of the first plunge through bicker brook will often throw one into a distemper or fever some going absolutely out of their heads wander far afield here n lies a grave danger because of the nearness of the road at this point to the boundaries of misanthropy a-- which state is little more than a barren wastes the peculiar mental attitude of its inhabitants gives strength to the theory advanced in a moria that its population is made up of those poor fever ridden souls who have wandered from the path of true love and gone quite mad note 13 the higher one climbs the dollar the thud so with the traveler who has been dreaming across sweet meadow land and balmy wastes when suddenly confronted by a renewal of obstacles which his optimism had made him believe past forever and it is in a nervous and uncertain state of mind we find him groping his way through the mists that always fill Blue Valley here is a great danger for with the steep mountains on three sides the traveler if he once stumbled from the road is apt to follow the depression of the valley until morbid and be numbed he wandered into the state of indifference the same danger in a lesser degree is lurking in the forest of gloom appendix the appendix has been removed and of a part

Y0JU2hruzjQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y0JU2hruzjQ | New SURGICAL STRATEGIES in the management of patients with BERTOLOTTI’S SYNDROME | my name is nick andrew i'm a spino neurosurgeon and i work here in king's school in hospital dubai i'm going to present about the new surgical strategies for the treatment of patients with bertolotti syndrome more than a century ago maribertolot described this pathology which consists of typical lower back pain at the paramedia region on the buttock area associated with sealed joint or and this lumbosacral transitional vertebra usually hips lateral to the pain typical example showing this painful pseudo joint visible on the x-ray and on the coronal view of the mri it affects around 5-10 percent of the population but it's much more often among the young population with associated low back pain especially paramedium pain it usually starts the symptoms around 30 years old or so there are a few main associated spinal disorders which come with bertolt scenery primarily is the pain coming from the shoulder articulation which suffers from arthrosis especially homolateral but sometimes even contralaterally lumber disc disease it helps quite often including disk degeneration and disk herniation far out syndrome is also another identified disorder which is do it to the enlarged tp which causes entrapment of the nerve l5 inside the foot amy and some case also develops a spinal deformity especially for asymmetric pseudo joints the clinical symptoms are typical chronic lower back pain at the paramedician region associated with the enlarged tp and quite often with sealed articulation also has a typical trigger point and this kind of pain it's usually alleviate with local injection steroids and anesthetics it can be seen by different image like x-ray ct scan and mri it is very important to use the castell the classification of lumbosacral transitional vertebra which is type 1 when there is only a large gtp in one or both sides type 2 there is a true pseudo joint also only or bilaterally is also very very painful subtype type 3 instead of pseudo-joint as a fusion of the enlarged cp with the sacrum and type 4 is the combination of both one side there is a pseudo joint another side there is a fused enlarged cp with sacrum a typical image of pseudo articulation between the enlarged gtp of l5 with the sacrum and iliac crest uh associate scoliosis with cell joint visible on the x-ray and mri also it's very easy to identify the solar joint even better by ct scan there are different algorithms this one from omega and colleagues they described when there is a persistent lower back pain not responding to the conservative treatment you should uh suggest the patient the injection at the pseudo joint to analyze if there is a temporary uh relief of the pain if that's the case so this patient is a potential candidate for the surgery to resect this pseudo joint this injector preferred to do by myself under sedation use the contrast to identify the pseudo joint and then inject the the combination of buff vacane plus meteor prone insulin inside the pseudo joint expect to have temporary relief of the pain for about two to four weeks if that's the case so the patient can be submitted to the transverse prostatectomy so the ideal candidate for surgery in case of birth a lot syndrome is that patient with typical normal sacrum pseudo joint pain on the on the sides which not responded to conservative measures and which has a temporary improvement after the injection inside the episode joint have to always pay attention to the possible associated spinal disorders especially lumbar disc disease disc herniation porcelater or even pharlatal destination disease degeneration far out syndrome which entrapment of l5 neighborhoods caused by the enlarged atp of l5 and other other problems like scoliosis another example of pseudo joint castell type 2 a lateral pseudo joint which ideal case for surgery when fulfills that that the described criteria especially with the temporary relief of the pain after the injection test the treatment consists of pressure excision of this pseudo arthros or of relate to the speedo joint essentially we disconnect the this enlarged tp from the lumbar spine so there's no more pressure from the lumbar spine to this positive joint which is the source of the pain so use this mis parmigiano tubular max surgical approach for partial restriction of a disenlarged gtp always consider the possibility of requiring surgery for the associated disk disorder like microscopy plus transverse prosthetectomy or a mist amino open t leaf plus transverse prosthetic which can be done during the same procedure there are different techniques but essentially for a transverse prosthetic can be done under mini open approach like described here or my preference which is the mis tubular microsurgical resection of the transgress process which is also described by the group of cleveland clinic us which consists of the incision and the parameter region on the top of the tp we use the tubular system to to localize the joint and here they show the type of restriction that can be done to release the the pressure from the lumbar spine to the solar joint and also give more space for the l5 knee root however sometimes difficult to do the that resection like on that diagram that you are going to suggest something a bit different on the following uh slides there are also new technology can be associated like it use of arm and neural navigation so the technique that you are using currently is the following this is one example of a young lady with this typical bertolot syndrome which had a response temporarily for the injection test then we went for the mist tubular surgical transgressive prostatectomy is very important to analyze in different views the image available including x-ray mri ct scan just give some example to measure and to calculate where you're going to cut to the joint because there are some places where the joint is very large very deep it also closes some very important structures especially the the side of the part of static nerve like l5 neighborhood so here we are we inverted the image to be in the same position like the patient during the surgery and we display those image on the big screen inside the operating theater so the technique we are describing here is the mis tubular max surgical transverse prostatectomy in which we uh make an incision before we did a bit smaller but prefer to do a bit longer around four centimeter incision by using the loop of the skin fascia around four centimeters lateral from the midline to be on the base of the enlarged tp just besides the pedicle but before we in size we need to check bathroom scopey this direction then you use the the seconds for the insertion of the mis paraspinal tubular system in between the muscles docking on the base of the enlarged tp also guide the bathhoroscopy until this point after we expose the base of tp i remove the loop and start using this surgical microscope i'll remember that during the whole procedure using interoperative neural monitoring and also trasonic bone shaver in order to remove the bone especially deeper part closer nerve with less risk for the neural uh structures so the type of cut that you recommend is vertical just beside the pedicle and then oblique inferior to the pedicle create a gap of about one centimeter to avoid reunion of this bone gap you also apply bone ox to decrease the chance of a new bone fusion and the check at the end by arm i prefer don't use neural navigation because it's a very dynamic procedure that we are cutting will lose the reference so what i do i use it to locate by fluoroscopy and i checked at the end by the arm this case we did recently patient prone position general anesthesia use interoperative neuromonitoring in siege we check by fluoroscopy around four centimeters from the midline four centimeter long then by fluoroscopy use this guide wires and until now fluoroscopy and use my loop then we have we go through with the sequential dilation tubes then after that we check again we installed we fixed the the retractors on the spinal table and we checked bathrooms perforoscopy the location which should be on the base of the tp of l5 just besides the pedicle we can check on ap and lateral like in this example i used to to use the four blades for a good retraction and then this this part i remove the loop and start with the surgical microscope this the surgical view during the procedure which we cut the superficial part of the bone i start from the the upper limit of the large dp which is the easier part to identify you can use in this part osteotome or even high speed drill but remember when start come deeper i remove those i don't use those tools anymore and go for the ultrasonic shaver which is safe for the soft uh structures so cutting the tp on the superior patch is the limit sphere limit of atp if your limit you cannot see yet we do this cutting vertical just beside the the pedicle lateral to it this is the ultrasonic vibrate bone scalpel that you like to use for this kind of procedure because it's safer for the nerve cutting at the end of the the deep part of the enlarged gtp after we cut the vertical part you have to cut obliquely in direction uh to the nerve just below the pedicle so this oblique part is the dangerous one which go very deep and close to the nerve which should be caused to this part so we we use this diagram to guide the the technique that you prefer we can see here uh marked the l5 pedicle the enlarged tp the bone to be removed marked in red dots which is lateral to the pedicle and then inferior to the pedicle uh the solar joint should be therefore disconnected you can find the lo5 you can see the l5 nerve root just uh close to the medial part of the enlarged cp and the pedicle below so we have to remember this anatomy which becomes very clear during the search but more limited because i have the tubular approach so i have a limited view but you can have a good idea about these structures after we we cut what we think is complete and then we check by the arm then you should see that the tp on its base is completely disconnect from the lumbar spine leaving the pseudo joint free this posterior view by the arm checking that the the enlarged piece completely disconnects from the lumbar spine the final closure of the incision this patient had a very good result she went home at the second postoperative day with minimum pain in the lower back and the shoulders had radical pain which improved immediately in summary those patients with typical lower back pain at the paramedia region associated with transitional vertebra and the enlarged gtp especially with cellular joint so type 2 or type 4 of castelvin their potential candidates for transgressive prostacectomy always potentially possible associated disk disease which sometimes are also surgical and also find out syndrome have a good image x-ray mri and ct scan if there is no response to the conservative treatment don't should propose repeat the absurd joint injection test like a pre-test before go for the surgery so if the patient has a temporary leave of this pain you explain to the patient that that's the type of reliever that you are aiming with the surgery if you agree so that's what he wants so he can proceed with the transgressive prostatectomy and maybe also to operate on the associated disorders if they are symptomatic as well remember to use those uh proper technique using tubular system mi acid tubular system microscope ultrasonic shape which is safe for the the nerve root especially at the deep part of the bone and check at the end if possible with advanced image technology to be sure there is no bridge left between the pseudo joint and the base of the tp and for following those steps has a chance of having very good results for the majority of the patients thank you you | Nicandro Figueiredo | UC6TVNLb4VRkg6eZKAVykk3g | 2021-02-20 | Creative Commons

W6tkrFlYyRs | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6tkrFlYyRs | Three Little Birds | Back Garden Biology 11 with Dr Lindsay Turnbull | hello my name's Lindsay Turnbull and I'm an associate professor in the Department of Plant Sciences at the University of Oxford and we're right in the middle of this very serious coronavirus crisis right now and my students are all stuck at home and we want to keep them in touch with biology and keep them in touch with us and so we're going to make a new series of videos and they're going to be called back garden biology [Music] hello welcome to this episode of that garden biology and it's an incredibly hot sunny day in a very very dry month of May and I'm sure you're finding the same in your garden having to do a lot of watering and so on for the first time this episode is going to be centered on birds I've kind of avoided that because it's very difficult to take good footage of birds unless you've really got a good camera and which I don't really have but I was able through the very kind agreement of some of my colleagues to borrow some footage so you're gonna see a mixture of photos of it is sort of fairly poor quality and that's my footage taken in my garden but also some much better close-up shots I may have been taken by colleagues in the zoology department who work up at white and woods and white and Woods is really famous for the study of great tits and blue tit so they've been monitoring both great tits and blue tits at whiten for about 60 years and that makes it one of the longest-running ecological studies in the country possibly even the world now I was inspired by that because I put up an sbox in my garden as I'm sure many of you have done if we just pan over behind me we can hopefully see it so that is a brand new nest box that I was given for as a Christmas present and we decided to put that up just the day after lockdown and to be honest we thought we're probably going to be too late to have anything use it this year but within 24 hours of putting that nest box up a pair of blue tits arrived and started checking it out because we were really delighted about and in fact they've just finished and all left there's nothing new sound coming from there anymore so I want to just talk you through what is the nesting behavior of the blue tits how long does it take and what do they do how many eggs today lay and then we're gonna look at some of that in a bit more detail so it begins in about February for blue tits they start looking for nest sites obviously our two have not been very successful haven't really found anywhere but they like that much and that's why they've had to wait a little bit later and as soon as they saw that they were in there now the female alone will first start to build the nest she's not going to just lay her eggs into the bottom of that box and she collects more to do that so we saw her actually in the lawn pulling up moss and bringing it back and pollute it make you know as all animals are sort of individuals they don't all make an identical nurse some of them build a thick layer of moss with just a few feathers on the top some of them have a thinner layer of moss with a great big carpet of feathers on the top but blue tits are very fond of feathers for the tops of their nests and those examples were from whiten where the researchers are going in and they're having to monitor the nests very closely and that takes the female beluche at about two weeks and she probably won't get any help from the male in doing it and once she's happy with that nurse and she's got it built she starts to lay her eggs and she will lay one egg every day until she has her clutch and only then will she start to incubate the eggs and to do that she'll actually strip off some of the feathers from her belly so she can press her bare skin against the eggs and transfer warmth to them and she has to incubate them for around two weeks when that's process is finished out will emerge these tiny sorts of pink helpless chicks that look a bit ugly to be honest a little newborn mouse or something very helpless obviously needing a lot of help from the parents and that's when we really started to notice them because then we realize that the two parents have to work like crazy each one of those chicks can eat up to a hundred caterpillars and day in order to grow as fast as they need to so both parents are backwards and forwards in and out of the box to the point where sometimes one parent would arrive as the other one was leaving and have to sort of bounce off in midair before it could even get in and feed them so you see how hard they are working and in fact it's been estimated that birds who are rearing chicks are working as hard as a Tour de France cyclists so it's the equivalent of doing the Tour de France as a human if you're a bird trying to raise offspring it's hugely energetically demanding now what you may have noticed irrespective whether you actually have a nest box in your garden is there's a period of time for about a week when blue ticks and to be launching themselves at the windows of your house and I managed to film this wall in the front of my house when I was actually staking out the sparrows last week and you can see them going all around the windows and the drainpipes and they are looking for spiders and people have always noticed this about its blue tits and great is that they start feeding chicks spiders at a critical period and they wondered why and someone did a really nice study to investigate it so proteins which other molecules that are the building blocks of all organisms are made up of things called amino acids and there were 20 different ones and some of them are harder to obtain than others and spiders are peculiarly rich in a particular amino acid and so somebody did a study where they gave blue tit chicks a supplement which contained this amino acid to see what impact did it have and it affected their behavior as the chick once the chicks fledge and we're older so it made them bolder and more inquisitive and investigative so that behavior of looking for spiders is really kind of to protect the mental developments if you like off their chicks now once the chicks about 14 weeks old they look like this sorry 14 days old just two weeks later they look like this you can see they've got lots of feathers on them they're nearly ready to go and then the parents change their behavior of it and when they arrive at the box as you can see here they start shouting at them quite a lot like this and that's that kind of aggressive shouting get out of that box you know you need to fledge we need to get out of here so I can start feeding you properly and they will keep feeding the chicks the parents will stay with them I don't know quite where they've gone I didn't see them around the garden now but they will continue to look after them for another few weeks that's the pinch point for blue tit chicks the young ones are they going to make it they've got to fatten up they got to make it through the winter of course most of them won't because a lot of chicks are born every year so the blue tit average clutch size is about seven but it can be a lot more and that's the thing that we're going to look at in a lot more detail today why is it that and different birds have different sizes of clutch and what factors determines that so I've got through am age three little helpers here the great tips not bleeped it's because more of the work that I'm going to talk about has actually been done with great tits rather than and blue turds there wasn't I didn't have any blue play-doh honestly and we're going to think about a life history trait and a life history trait is a characteristic of a species that's not a physical characteristic so a physical characteristic might be something like wing length or beak length but a life history tray is something to do with the way the bird lives its life so it might be how long it lives lifespan is a life history trades or it might be the number of eggs that it lays or it might be how much care it then gives to those to the chicks when they hatch those are all examples of life history traits and where the traits are physical or whether they're life history traits we believe as ecologist and evolutionary biologists that all those traits are under natural selection and natural selection is a force that shapes organisms and it doesn't just shape the way they look but it also shapes the way they behave and in order to understand that a little bit better what natural selection is and how it works we're going to hear a little bit from professors too at West who is a professor of evolutionary biology in the department of zoology here in Oxford the theory of natural selection is Darwin's greatest contribution to science and it follows from just three simple ingredients first of those is variation and all that means is that within a population of something you see variation so for example if you're looking at drafts some might have longer necks some might have shorter necks the second ingredient it needs is heritability and what that means is the offspring alike parents so to go back to the giraffe example giraffes with longer necks have offspring with longer net flix their babies will have bigger necks now the third thing the slightly more complicated thing is that you need differential success or differential Fitness limited to the link to that variation and what that means is that individuals that are different that have varying their ability to survive and reproduce so again if we go back to the giraffe example what we might find is that giraffes with longer necks or better reaching up at trees they get more food they're able to have offspring more successfully so they end up having more spring than giraffes for shorter necks an eeveelution area biology we sort of lump all these things that link your ability to survive and reproduce into a term called Fitness so this might be ability to catch food evade predators anything like that okay so now we found out a little bit more about natural selection and how it tends to maximize something called Fitness which we can say is probably best approximated by the number of grandchildren that an organism has now let's have a look at our birds because I think exciting has happened to them since we last saw them all three of them have built mass look and they've all got five eggs in them I want you to imagine that five is the standard number of eggs that a great tit lays I don't think it is in reality it's more like seven but I couldn't fit seven eggs into my little nests now what we're going to do is to try to understand if five is the average that we observe is that actually the clutch size that will maximize their fitness and one way we can test that is to change the number of eggs that the birds have by adding extra one so I could go to another bird's nest and I could give this bird one extra egg and similarly for this bit I could perhaps give it two extra eggs and then I could allow it to rear those extra eggs and see how many chicks does it successfully rear and when people do things like this with birds they tend to find that they are able to rear more chicks than they would have been eight they are able to rear those extra chicks so it looks like their fitness could actually be higher if they laid more eggs which of course raises the question then why don't they lay more eggs and one of the criticisms of those studies is that it hasn't taken into account properly of all of the costs of egg-laying so if you just give a bird an egg that some other bird has laid then they haven't paid the full costs of it because they didn't have to manufacture the egg and perhaps they didn't incubate it for quite as long the other thing that we haven't taken account of is that birds don't just live for one year the females might survive the winter they have a reasonable chance of doing that and they might have a higher chance of doing that if they didn't have a very large number eggs because the bigger the clutch the more food they have to find the more tired they're going to be the more rundown they're going to get so we have to think about the future offspring as well and whether they're being compromised so one way of doing this was a really nice study that did this instead so they again started off with three different treatments so they had their control birds which would be laying exactly five eggs then they found other birds who had clutches of five and they manipulated them in the following way so to some of them they simply gave them two free eggs so this one gets free eggs you didn't have to lay them but she has got to incubate them and rear them for another one they decide well maybe a lot of the costs come from the actual incubation that afterall is quite costly for the bird so they're lapped this one they didn't get free eggs they actually got free chicks so they waited for the eggs to actually hatch and then transfer to newborn chicks I'm gonna sort of put them on the side there so she's also going to have two extra but she got them as chicks rather than as eggs and then finally this one is going to have the toughest treatment so what they actually did was to remove some eggs from the nest okay and if you remove X from a great tip nurse they will lay more so she lays a couple of extra eggs and then we put these ones back right and now this one has the same clutch size as this one Oh would have done in my I hadn't rolled off I'll just try and replace it all right just she's got the same as that one but those ones came for free and this one had to pay the full cost of those eggs because she had to actually lay them and when they then calculated the number of surviving offspring and how well all these birds did these ones definitely had lower Fitness that means that if you if they're really forced to pay the full cost of all of those extra eggs then it really does have Fitness consequences and those Fitness consequences came in part because the females didn't survive as well till the following year but also in part because if you give great tits extra they don't actually survive as well because they're larger the breed size the smaller the chicks are so it looks like they've got more chicks but actually they don't actually survive quite as well so some pretty clever staff it's all done very carefully by trained researchers who know how to handle the birds and the eggs and know how much stress the birds can manage don't try anything like this at home for goodness sake right well let's end this where we began and down at the back of the garden looking at my empty nest and sea nest box anyway so my blue turrets have gone off and I hope that those young are still alive out there and being fed by their parents I hope this doesn't happen to them this was footage taken by my uncle a sparrow hawk arrived in his garden just literally a few days ago and found the black bird's nest and came back and at one black bird nestling after another I'm afraid that is what Raptors do once they find the nest they're not going to leave any of them behind however we can at least say that the sparrow hawk is a natural predator and it does have its own chicks to feed I would plead with you if you have a cat to think about the damage that cats cause they are the source of mortality the biggest source of mortality for a lot of blue and great tit chicks in gardens and of course people want to keep cats and they are lovely animals but there are things you can do to limit the damage they cause like making sure that they have a bell and also actually not letting them wander around at night where obviously that's not when they tend to eat blue tears but they do cause a lot of damage to frogs and small mammals at that time well I hope in your garden this week you can maybe see some of these newly fledged blue tit and great tit chicks feeding and and moving around the garden and finding food for themselves and we'll see

jq13YOZlxko | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq13YOZlxko | | Spare Me, Great Lord! | By The Speaking Pork Trotter | Chapter 481 to 485 | #sparemegreatlord | chapter 481 kirihara's past Glory exhausted Sakurai could finally end her lessons at night she had been swinging her sword for the entire day her Public Image was one of Amy ability and generosity which won her great respect now despite her grudges against Lou Shu she could not vent her negativity on others actually she had expected a break after her morning sessions but to her astonishment kirihari yusuk was nowhere to be found from Sakurai yako's distress plus 199 was it a scheme to distract her so that he could carry out some secret activities a childish move indeed but she could not do anything about it since she had promised to give it all she had there was no way she would regret it now there were few minds of great wisdom in the world and Sakurai was ashamed of her falling for such a simple trick thus Sakurai messaged her teacher once she got the chance reporting on kirihara yusuf's disappearance she hoped her mistake could be compensated by locating kirihara with her teacher's help in the worst case scenario kirihara yusuk would have to be wiped out should he be found to be in contact with the jingoists although it would be tough to kill him in broad daylight there was poison as a matter of fact driven by results many Japanese practitioners had resorted to such hideous means they used poison together with practices such as ambushes or assassination admittedly practitioners were blessed with a high resistance against poison but they would become an easy target once their powers were weakened truly it would be almost impossible to locate lushu in a big city like nishinocchio with only the limited Manpower of the conservatives but a group of commoners served them too that was very normal and standard practice for most big organizations just like how tanaguchi Bandai worked for the Heavenly Network this was because some duties were better off not done personally by practitioners the Heavenly network was at the extreme end though and even jobs such as plumbers and toilet cleaners in the Ling jinglane basement were filled by their own people they had done it in the Army anyway so it was not something to be fussy about what was the matter with cleaning up the place if that was the task assigned on the contrary all practitioners regardless of their level in the Phoenix Society LED an aristocratic life they hired commoners to take care of their needs the Phoenix Society hoped to develop a sense of honor and pride in metahumans through this therefore a new service industry had emerged among the commoners some had an eye on its lucrativeness While others wish to be recognized and practiced cultivation with the pros after all legends said that many big organizations were interested in improving the efficiency of power Awakening not long after Oda received updates on kirahara's whereabouts then he said to matsura harakuro go he was spotted at the 6th Street matsura's brains throbbed in pain at the order to monitor loose shoe but he had to obey okay I'm going right away don't lose him again understood from matsura herakaro's distress Plus 399. when matsura arrived at the place following the clues given he saw Lou shoe peeking furtively into a building by its door matsura was happy Katya could it really be a secret meeting with the jingoists complicated feelings bubbled up in matsura's heart after all kirihara was one of the people Most Wanted by the conservatives for his family had a great influence in the circle due to their mysterious inherited trade but if he had betrayed the conservatives they had to kill him before any agreement was made between him and the jingoists nonetheless it would be a great loss for the conservatives hiding in lushu's blind spot matsura observed him closely suddenly someone exited from the building and matsura saw with his own eyes that kirahara yusuk stepped forward with a stack of unknown materials in his hands matsura's heart began pounding hard here he goes however in the next instant he realized from the building walked out a group of students who had just finished their weekend tuition classes and Liu Shu distributed to each of them a piece of white paper with Prince baika dojo sokurayako's swordplay we welcome you to join us for Sword Play classes conducted by Sakurai yako herself extraordinary sword skills for matsura harakuro's distress Plus 666. can you please stop being such a joker you've come so far just to give out leaflets to tuition students then lushu asked those students a few questions before rushing to the next location with his leaflets it was hard for him to find tuition classes by himself but those students had a much better knowledge of that matsura haracuro was dumbstruck apparently lushu was planning to cover all the tuition classes in nishinocchio as a result a second wave of students crowded into the dojo right after Sakurai finished her morning shift advertisements always worked lushu knew it on the other side Sakurai was close to desperate upon seeing even more students what's going on then she received a call from mastura Sakurai kirihara distributed leaflets to 17 tuition classes and students are still rushing to the dojo right now from Sakurai yako's distress Plus 999. matsura also could not explain kirahara's peculiar behaviors why as the owner of the dojo are you out publicizing on your own people have great expectations of you be it to restore the kirihara's influence and your family's past Glory or to stay closely connected with the jingoists and the conservatives otherwise you could also contact those hidden Clans who used to be on your side but it seems that kirihari yusuk had abandoned the cultivation Arena altogether and buried his head deep in the business realm chapter 482 a murderous night the Heavenly Network sent lushu to cause trouble and the conservatives believed that he would judging from his drastic change of temperament however he seemed to be going in the wrong direction at night as luxu was counting money in the backyard Bandai opened her mouth as if to speak but hesitated lushu smiled just say whatever you want to it's fine you are very focused when you make money I'm going to prepare your meal then Bandai left she was confused about her Mission now what happened to being an Asus assistant in wreaking political Havoc now they were starting a business Sakurai dragged her tired body over and said Sensei I shall go back first if there's nothing more for me to do she was really exhausted today and in no mood to seduce Lucio anymore even for a practitioner high intensity teaching would be energy draining or rather emotionally draining now all she wanted was a good sleep smiling cheerfully lushu counted a few hundred thousand Japanese Yen and passed it to Sakurai this is yours Sakurai froze for a second Sensei there is no need for this really she had access to a large fortune in the conservatives and a measly few hundred thousand was only enough for several meals but lushu insisted and stuffed the money in her hand take it you earned it yes are you happy about making money for yourself puzzled Sakurai shot another look at Lou Shu wondering about the hidden meaning behind his words lushu smiled and said now you may go have a good rest at home Sakurai lay on her pink bed although she still had to kneel on the floor beside her teacher she preferred places such as beds sofas or chairs that felt more comfortable and convenient having not changed her clothes Sakurai stared absently at the money in her hand speaking of which it was her first legitimate income despite a faint feeling of oddness her conscience was more at ease then Sakurai stood up and stuffed the money into a hidden chamber in the ceiling she could not explain the urge to do so as if there were certain meanings attached to it logically she was rich enough to ignore that pathetic amount as the night grew thicker a black shadow swooshed out of the backyard of baika dojo in full control of his muscles lushu walked on the rooftop without making a sound ten minutes later Lou shoe paused to check his Direction and moved on again till another half an hour later he had finally stopped behind the neon lights on the rooftop of a bar the lights provided the perfect disguise for him lushu started to wait with his good patients just like how he waited for the skeleton Cavalry at the baymeng remains at this moment a deluxe car came to a stop outside the bar and two young men alighted from the car lushu let out a sigh of relief Target confirmed one of them was nojoa to kennebu's son nojoa hakushan another key member of the jingoists honestly lushu did not expect his appearance that night though he knew the man frequented the place earlier in the afternoon he investigated the area while giving out leaflets lushu was cautious he would not take chances without enough familiarity with this big city as a matter of fact the collection of God's warrant for his arrest was issued by nojoa hakashun according to the information given by umingu Lucia knew something that Bandai did not including nojoa hakashun's habits after all Bandai did not know every Heavenly Network member hiding in the city or even inside the collection of Gods there was no way for the collection of gods to send spies into the Heavenly network but not the other way round during their age-long enmity either side would show any Mercy towards the other in Japan pubs were a far cry from izakaya's 1 which were simply another form of Eatery usually student part-timers were only allowed to work at izakayas but not pubs undeniably though not all pubs were that messed up lushu decided not to follow his Target into the pub as many pubs in nishinocchio although open to the public had many rules and often required bookings this one for instance was almost a VIP Club unspoken rules abounded in such places waiters might have already started observing you from the moment they passed you the first piece of towel from your actions and expressions they could tell whether you were a first-timer or a customer of a specific type some items in the pubs should not be touched either for instance higher class wines cannot be purchased in bottles thus lushu was not confident about his pretense as a native Japanese in this situation culture differed from country to Country take for example phones in Japan were supposed to be in silent mode in public but the sound had to be turned on for photo taking one could call the police if he or she had been photographed without permission and lushu could not be sure that he had complete knowledge of all the details of the local culture in any case those places were different from schools in fact he would not have been able to accustom to the school environment so easily decades ago thus the best solution now was to continue stalking after the target was out he should not risk exposing his own identity inside lushu waited patiently until 3am when nojoa finally boarded the car and left not concerned about nojoa's companion's whereabouts lushu changed his face into another jingoist practitioners who shared a similar body shape as him then he went on in pursuit of the car a car could never outrun a practitioner without unnecessary turns the car drove straight towards its destination showing the full sense of security no joa had inishinokio he did not seem to think that anyone would dare to be in his way in Japan not even the conservatives ten minutes later the car picked up a young lady and finally it came to a stop in front of a villa in the darkness Lou's shoes Stood Still on the rooftop of the villa he watched in silence as nojoa walked into the Villa with the woman in his arms another half an hour later all the lights went off in the house the windows were connected to the alarm system as fine metal wires were embedded in the glass any attempt to break the glass would trigger the alarm he waited for 20 more minutes in the end he released a thin layer of divine water to corrode the Rooftop everyone was fast asleep and no one even noticed the existence of the man-sized hole in the Rooftop the faint Golden Glow was visible but there were no eyes to see it this was why luxu had chosen to take action at 4am Lu Shu was not a man of generosity he who wanted his life would pay with his own life chapter 483 precise machinery impermeable silence shrouded the World Before Sunrise quietly lushu lowered himself into the room underneath his desire to kill nojoa hakashun had been there since the post on Darkness Kingdom and it took him great patience for this day to come according to the information available nojoa was a Class C practitioner which increased lushu's confidence in taking him down but he needed to be careful because the last thing lushu wanted was for nojoa to escape and leak any unfavorable information about himself lushu had no interest in earning nojoa's distress points as he would soon be able to receive those from the collection of gods as compensation all he had to do was deal a fatal blow to nojoa however the silence was torn apart by a piercing swoosh just when lushu was about to jump into the room he had sensed the approach of a Sharp blade holding onto the edge of the hole lushu immediately changed his Direction and evaded the attack the room was lit up at once it was no jawahakushin's voice with a tinch of surprise it's you Kita Mora hirono that was the face Lou shoe was wearing at the moment without a word he sprang towards nojoa Underneath Him the wooden floor instantly collapsed into pieces in The Not So spacious room two Shadows moved around at tremendous speed no joa hakashun had always been on guard against his opponent's sword which was the fastest among the class C's surprisingly though in the next instant two Flying Daggers shot out from kutamura's hands despite nojoa's quick defense he was unable to resist the attack from two flying daggers at the same time before he could utter a sound concealed Arrow had punctured his neck reducing his voice to an indistinct groan Lew Shu was ready to leave after robbing nojoa's long sword he had no intention to kill that young lady from whom lushu detected no energy waves and deduced that she was only a commoner moreover nojoa had mentioned the name kidamora hirono would it cause confusion in the collection of gods if the woman heard that name yet he was also cautious about underestimating his rivals how could nojoa hakashun have anticipated his move which was supposedly too stealthy to be noticed what went wrong thinking back lushu recalled a pause in nojoa's motion right before he entered the Villa earlier was it because of his reflection on the body of the car seriously even so nojoa had decided to be on the alert silently instead of startling the intruder he might have been dead if not for his extraordinary powers that were Way Beyond noches indisputably lushu in his current state could defeat any class sees effortlessly in a one-to-one combat 15 minutes after Lucia had left more than 20 black cars roared towards the villa a middle-aged man was the first to alight followed by many younger ones dressed in black suits and a collection of God's badge pinned in front of each chest soon all key locations around the Villa were occupied in an efficient and orderly manner while a few others went to knock on the neighbor's doors for further inquiries everyone was clear on his or her own task the entire group operated like a piece of Machinery with all cogs fitting together perfectly the door of the Villa was wide open into which the collection of God's members were guided in by a pale-looking young lady shivering in nervousness she was making an explanation next to the middle-aged man stood a young man respectfully the former asked the latter calmly what do you think kitamura can't be sure as of now okay go take a look inside they ascended to the second floor from the staircase only to see nojoa hakashun lying in a pool of blood the entire room had been blocked off and staff and white clothes goggles and masks were gathering every useful clue as if calculating something kitamura hirono paced a few steps and then suddenly he threw a punch into the white wall extracting a small black box to be passed to the middle-aged man the man connected the box to a phone in his pocket with a cable then no joa hakashun's confused voice in his last minutes Was Heard by everyone in the room it's you kitamura hirono the line seemed to be the greatest clue casting aside the fighting sounds that ensued after however it had already been mentioned by the woman just now the middle-aged man was expressionless and outsider's doings kitamura seemed totally unconcerned though he was the only suspect pinpointed at the moment he analyzed the situation with composure if it was one of us he would have known that every room is installed with this equipment and he would have destroyed it altogether besides not a clever trick to purposely leave behind Clues indeed if it were really kidamora he could have killed the woman and taken the box with him then he would be free from suspicion even if others found out that it was done by their own people because the pool of suspects would be too big the middle-aged man looked up at the hole whose edges were smooth like a mirror however he did not associate it with the Divine water rather he was misled into another Direction the earth type in Pattaya an earth type metahuman once helped Lee asiao in killing the materialization type expert Johnson and the unknown person's level was suspected to be Class B this gave the middle-aged man an ill hunch to them expansion was a necessary cause but the current Heavenly network was too powerful an opponent to be messed with they were no longer the sleeping Lions as they were decades ago now even the collection of gods felt helpless sometimes but there was no turning back the collection of gods would be suffocated by the shortage of resources if they did not venture out many Elites chose to support the jingoists because they knew there were no better alternatives of course there were a number of extremists agitating for a radical idea like let Japan merge with China and become an autonomous province they believed it was the shortcut to economic growth in the context of increasing volcanic and tectonic activities clearly though the collection of gods did not agree the middle-aged man said still emotionless everyone on first ground alert the Heavenly network is here chapter 484 sakuraiyako's Sword Play teacher once lushu entered the dojo he saw bundai waiting in the yard earlier he had ordered her to retreat immediately if he had not returned by sunrise Bandai made a deep out to Lou shoe welcome back did everything go well yes I killed nojoa hakashun but I'm not sure whether it can be planted on kitamura hirono however we should be safe in any case kirihara yusuke's enemies should be the jingoists and there was nothing to do with nojoa hakashun lushu received 1 000 distress points in nojoa's dying moments and a great deal from the collection of God's superiors following his death checking the names of the entries he was relieved to know that the name list was almost identical to the one registered after the end of the baymeng remains mystery solved in other words those names belonged to the collection of God's superiors and last time it was related to The Relic and their missing class C spy now the illumination of the third layer of his Celestial map was almost complete lushu's mind was at total peace he did not like to owe anybody anything thus when the breakfast vendor Uncle Lee and others were kind to loose shoe he often allowed them to try some of his stinky tofu for free when he sold it certainly a piece of stinky tofu would not mean much to them but lushu would feel uneasy had he not done so the more coldness one has experienced in the world the more he will cherish the warmth around him now thus lushu did not take the Heavenly Network's care and kindness for granted either as the saying goes sound nothing reap nothing be it at the baymeng remains or the Salt Lake remains he had not spared a single spy's life of course it was his duty too he did it out of responsibility and also as an act of reciprocation Lou shoe had never forgotten the importance of repaying other people's Goodwill even though he had experienced the full Taste Of Darkness indifference and heartlessness of the world this time he had accepted the mission knowing all too well that he was the most suitable candidate for kirahara yusuke's replacement gave him the Divine water for free and the Heavenly Network had decided to give him deep sea white sand as well despite their ignorance of luciau's control of an earth-type metahuman spirit it was all because of the same reason that nieting salushu as deserving of it on the other hand they could have confiscated both thinking that they would not be useful for loose shoe hence lushu was determined to make some contribution this time although he was upset about the inheritance scam and he had overthrown his supposed Persona he did not think it was a big issue at all but it would have been just wonderful if the Heavenly Network had fulfilled its promise on the inheritance then a thought crossed lushu's mind could he ignite his entire third layer nebula using distress points from the collection of gods if he began a killing spree easy peasy most of the remaining collection of God's forces were jingoists who well deserved to die following this vein he might have to rely on the collection of gods for his future promotion the thought dragged him out of his bed and into the yard for sword practice until the full dawn of the day at the moment the news on nojoa hakushin's death spread out and conservative members like Sakurai yako and Oda takuma were the first group of Outsiders to learn about it no one had any clues on the murderer's identity according to The Insider information of the collection of gods the Heavenly network was the only suspect and no attempts were made to create an illusion of an internal conflict oda's face was expressionless upon hearing the news he agreed on the involvement of the Heavenly Network yet where were they why was there no Trace at all in fact Oda did hope for the interference of an external Force to disrupt the jingoist's complete dominance but it certainly had better not be the Heavenly Network a non-native Force in the meantime nieting was reading the update in the luhai lane his fingers tapped rapidly on the stone table and his face remained expressionless throughout sure shua Jean shot him a curious look and asked why so happy Mia Ting showed him the news and the latter was stunned at once so fast it's only been a few days this kid is certainly not very forgiving you need to watch out no worries I'm waiting for his safe return so that he can seek revenge from me replied Nia ting light-heartedly the key thing was the information in their hands was not from tanaguchi Bandai who had yet to file any report but when yeting and sure shua Jean learned about nojoa hakashun's death they instantly arrived at the conclusion that it was definitely lushu's doings in the morning lushu walked to school as usual the streets were clean as always and nothing seemed to have changed since nojoa hakashin's death kirihara yusuk was free from any suspicion too but once he entered the campus of baika high school he sent strange stairs all around indeed he was a different person from the kirihara yusuk in the past and in this case it was only shown in their attire Style the old kirihara used to be properly dressed and would even button up the top button of his uniform shirt but Lou shoe did not button it lushu decided not to waste too much time on trivialities like this suddenly he pulled a boy up with his collar and asked why are you staring from pseudocage's distress Plus 199. caught off guard pseudo replied nervously people are saying that you are sakura yako's Sword Play teacher oh lushu nodded so that was the after effect of making so much money never mind the trouble so long as he had enough money to make lushu let sudo go those students around were dumbfounded based on his strength there was no doubt that he was a well-trained Swordsman but why had he remained silent in the past despite being a victim of bullies however what was happening now seemed completely justifiable given his parents sudden death and the title as Sakurai yako's Sword Play teacher when lushu walked into his classroom the seven students who were beaten up by him instantly went quiet as he walked past noguchiyuki the latter lowered his head diffidently lushu knocked on his table and demanded did you tell your family to put less salt from naguchi Yuki's distress plus 555 how did it feel when the boy who used to be bullied suddenly became the head of the Gang chapter 485 a race between the experts actually school bullying was a very serious matter in Japan and had received vast media coverage in recent years repeated cases had been reported on victims of bullying throwing themselves in front of trains in an attempt to end their lives of humiliation undoubtedly though this could partially be attributed to their students fragile mental resilience many Chinese students studying in Japan had realized that the education system there was not as good as expected as it failed to groom their students into psychologically strong individuals yet one must acknowledge that mentally weak people exist in all societies and just like other countries Japan has both the beautiful side and The Ugly some girls even preferred gangster looking boys because they were deemed to be more manly thinking that kirahara yusux Bento used to be robbed every day Lu XU loathe that people of naguchiyuki's kind did not even suffer from any guilty conscience at this moment a girl with a sense of righteousness suddenly stood up and confronted Lou shu I horiken you must hate how others used to bully you but please tell me the difference between the current version of you and sorts like naguchiyuki can you answer me the difference lushu gave it a serious thought and answered the difference is I'm stronger than them from naguchi Yuki's distress Plus 666. from ouch what a painful truth Lou shoe was amused too why didn't you stand up earlier when kirahara yusuk was bullied in the past why do you think it's easier to bargain with me then he slowly paced over to a window seat in the last row lushu looked at one of the seven boys and asked can we change seats quietly the boy carried his bag and went to Lou shoe's original seat no one dared to raise any objection and they could only stare as the familiar yet alien kirahara yusuk transformed into a newborn bully but that by no means meant that lushu was everyone's enemy because other victims of bullying felt that their Justice had been rightfully upheld at the moment Lou shoe was surrounded by many layers of Aura the most prominent of which was his role as Sakurai yako's Sword Play teacher all of a sudden he had become in existence close to a high school celebrity during morning recess some girls came over to lose shoes seat hoping to clarify the myth whether he was really sakuraiyako's teacher even a few girls from other classes came to their class and asked to be introduced to whoever kirahara Yusuf was not everybody knew how he looked like anyway nevertheless Kerry Hara had been sleeping all along as if determined not to listen to any lessons that was astonishingly unexpected despite his cowardly personality kirihara's academic results were reasonably good hence there was nothing wrong with yumingu's words that lushu only had to act like himself finally lushu woke up before the start of the last lesson a girl appeared outside their classroom door surrounded by quite a few girls chuckling beside then lushu heard someone in his class murmuring isn't that the girl kirahara confessed to in grade 10 . lushu was shocked I didn't know there's such a thing come on it's grade 12 now back then it was quite a hit in the school because the girl had actually posted kirahara's confession letter on the school notice board the incident also contributed to kirahara's low self-esteem kirihara someone's waiting for you outside a classmate called him Chiba gave lushu a concerned look having been his classmate for so many years she knew full well just how hurt kirihara was by that episode even in grade 12 some people still jeered at him for that frowning lushu walked out wondering what the girl was doing here he asked her yes the girl smiled and said I was wrong back in grade 10 because I did not know you well enough recently my friends have been telling me that you are a good person so I'm hoping to get to know you again now I want to give you one more chance to introduce yourself what's so good about you lushu drew a startled breath wasn't it the usual question he liked to ask others how should he answer his own question she must be an expert to anticipate her enemy this way the key strategy to defeat a strong opponent was to make a quick and fatal move pondered for a few seconds and replied I'm good without you from shirakawa yunus distress Plus 666. he won lushu let out a sigh of relief yet looking serious my apologies from shirakawa Eunice distress Plus 666. under people's astounded stairs lushu returned to his seat supporting his chin on his hands lushu gazed outside the window his high school life had never been so Carefree in those days he was desperate to finish his studies in school so that he could have more time with luciau or to help with her work how could he have the time to admire the school scenery outside it felt as if it was a compensation for his lost youth no one knew he was from the Heavenly Network and no one knew he had just ended a man's life the night before nonetheless what of you seeing so many girls in white t-shirt and shorts on the field attending PE lessons the girl called shirakawa Yuna was still in shock outside their classroom in the past few years any mentions about kirahara yusuk often came together with her name and her wise decision in rejecting him it seems that people were still living in the old days of kurihara's feelings for her and her sense of superiority maybe the real kirihara would be happy to see this day coming but unfortunately lushu was not kirihara yusuk and he had someone at home awaiting his safe return just when the bell rang for the last lesson the teacher led someone into the classroom immediately all movements in the class stopped as they stared in astonishment sakuraiyako why is she here standing on the podium the teacher introduced her to the class let me introduce a new transfer student to our class I believe she is no stranger to you all Sakurai yako from shioj girls high school was shocked did it really have to be like this after the self-introduction Sakurai walked towards lushu casually then with a smile she asked the student sitting on lushu's right hi can I sit here I mean could you let me take your seat the boy immediately packed his bag and moved to an empty seat in the last row everyone in the class held their breath not hoping to miss anything in a blink following the news that kirihara was sakurai's teacher people were very interested in their relationship now however the answer was right in front of their eyes she had even transferred over for him [Music] what does it mean to be happy cause it looks like we all don't know [Music] There's No Tomorrow [Music] you told me [Music] | Student's Community Audio Book | UCPWMuzTJ2sSqFNpfaqu96Qw | 2023-07-01 | Creative Commons Attribution

Cunningham's side puzzling too long keys at it at his back did you hear that one he asked him about Mulcahy from the COO I did not Martin Cunningham said they bent their silk hats in concert and Hinds inclined his ear the caretaker hung his thumbs in the loops of his gold watch chain and spoken a discreet tone to their vacant smiles they tell the story he said that two drunks came out here one foggy evening to look for the grave of a friend of theirs they asked for Mulcahy from the clean and were told where he was buried after traipsing about in the fog they found the grave sure enough one of the drunks spelled out the name Terence Mulcahy the other drunk was blinking up at a statue of Our Saviour the widow had got put up the caretaker blinked up at one of the sepulchers they passed he resumed and after blinking up at the second figure not a bloody bit like the man says he that's not Mulcahy says he who ever done it rewarded by smiles he fell back and spoke with corny Kelleher excepting the dockets given him turning them over and scanning them as he walked that's all done with the purpose Martin cunning and explained to Heinz I know fine said I know that to cheer a fellow up Martin Cunningham said it's pure good-heartedness damn the thing else mr. bloom admired the caretakers prosperous bulk all want to be on good terms with him decent fellow John O'Connor real good

out of sight out of mind the caretaker moved away a few paces and put on his hat had enough of it the mourners took heart of grace one by one covering themselves without show mr. bloom put on his hat and saw the portly figure made his way its way deftly it's for the maze of graves quietly sure of his ground he traversed the dismal fields Hines trotting down something in his notebook far the names but he knows them all no coming to me I am just taking the names Hines said below his breath what is your Christian name I'm not sure l mr. broom said Leopold and he might put down McCoy's name too he

instants the boy propped his wreath against a corner the brother-in-law his on a lump the gravediggers put on their caps and carried their earthy spades towards the barrel then up the blades lightly on the turf clean one bent to pluck from the haft a long tuft of cross one leaving his mates walked slowly on with shouldered weapon its blade blue glancing silently at the grave head another coil the coffin band his navel cord the brother-in-law turning away placed something in his free hand thanks and silenced saucer trouble head shake I know that for yourselves just the mourners moved away

all we've got such a brilliant pile of guests i can't even get all their wonderful um work correct but like i say i'm so glad they're joining us this evening because i think it's going to be a brilliant discussion we've got people from different areas um literature film family friends of k-dick so this is going to be great and because we're here to celebrate uh k-dick and day i thought we would begin at the sort of very beginning of this reissue molly mentioned at the beginning this is uh this book was originally published in 1977 it's been reissued um by faber this week very excitingly and i first came across this book a couple of years ago now when i was doing some research for my recovery column that molly mentioned and i'm always on the lookout for interesting books to write about things that have been missed and uh there's plenty of books that get forgotten along the way and uh for various reasons and i hope we'll be able to have a chance to discuss that later but i came across an old obituary about k-dick which was um pretty uh catty let's put it that way but it made me very interested about who this author was who'd published quite a lot of books even though it seems to me that people keep saying that she really didn't publish that many but actually there's quite a few um and that she knew some fascinating people and was the heart of the sort of london literary scene in the middle of the 20th century um i went and came across i found all her novels i started reading them i liked the early stuff i wasn't particularly excited by it these were novels of manners a little bit dated very beautifully written but nothing to particularly get excited about and i say that because when i read they it was like a sort of shot of electricity running down my spine this was something completely different uh completely different to k dick's earlier novels and actually quite different to a lot of other novels from this era even though there were some sort of similarities to writers like anna caban and maybe books like fahrenheit four five one um and then uh at the same time that i was coming across k dick and writing about her the uh the literary agent becky brown from curtis brown heritage also came across a copy of vedic and had a very similar feeling to me that sort of jolt of electricity knew it was something special and what you're seeing at the today is the sort of end result of us both finding this book and then becky uh bringing it back into print getting in touch with the estate and here we are today with all these wonderful new editions and i begin with this tele discovery i think because it's something that becky myself and others have discussed on sort of multiple occasions throughout this journey that as i said there's plenty of books that get lost there's plenty of authors that get forgotten but it is really rare to find a book and an author like they and k-dick um a book that is both brilliant in and of its own right that sort of makes you kind of you know stand up and take notice but then also a book that seems to speak to the contemporary world uh to speak to kind of the current generation now 40 years after it was written in such a kind of fiercely um a sort of loud and fierce way this is what people seem to keep going back to about this book that it was sort of prescient that it speaks to us now really importantly and for the author to be someone like k dick who was absolutely fascinating at the heart of the literary world like i said um knew many important people uh had some wonderful sort of achievements in her own life and yet for both her and her work to be as forgotten as it is so this really is a thrilling rediscovery and something rather special um but before we get on to kadek and talking about her life i really want to start with the novel itself with day um because it is such a fascinating strange and eerie piece of work um so i wonder can we get started perhaps if i ask you jay to tell us a little bit about what you made of this work and in what ways it spoke to you both as a reader i presume originally but then also maybe as a writer as well yeah well thanks for inviting me to this panel first of all um it is really um my pleasure it's really um is really fascinating to kind of be introduced to this text like via this i did not know kadek at all um until i got the email saying would you be interested and then i saw the pronoun at the top and i was like this could be curious um and when i read it i [Music] my my initial reaction was this book is really weird and strange and disconcerting and i'm not sure what's happening and i'm going to put it down now maybe i'll come back to it later i i didn't have i had an immediate sense of it being there being a psychological and an emotional undertone to the book that i found really unsettling um and then when i when i went back to it and when i mentioned it to other people friends of mine i was saying i'm reading this really weird book and you know they're like oh what's going on i was like every time i try to critique it or to put my finger on what it is that's going on i can't quite do it um because it becomes and it does have this kind of conflicting uh sort of center that's not quite there like it sort of kind of keeps unraveling the more i try to um to try to grasp it if that makes any sense um so i had a really like push-pull relationship with it and then the more i kind of like looked into it the more i read about her the more it grew on me um possibly because that there's just this sense of somebody who is very who's grappling with something grappling with something very large and very difficult and very dark that actually does in its own way speak to me can i just ask after that maybe wonder how do you describe it to people um because i have this problem all the time i say like i'm reading this brilliant book or there's this book you should read what how would you how can you sum up they in a few words do you think i don't know if i can do it in a few words i think justice in a few words i think it's um i i guess the words that do come to mind are sort of circular and and futility comes to mind as well um and maybe like anguish but i i don't really know yet how to um yeah summarize the book neatly um and even calling it a dystopia i think is this it is a dystopia yeah it doesn't it doesn't quite fit into that category for me as well so i don't really know and i think that's okay like i'm trying not to rush into trying to um put the book into a particular box excellent um and claire louise can you sort of tell us answer the same question like what were your first impressions when you came to this novel and um what is it sort of what is it said to you so far one of the first things um i was struck by was the englishness of it um i haven't lived in england for it's more than 20 years now um so maybe i'm just quite sort of sensitive to those sorts of things um but i wonder in a way if they were kind of deliberate you know these references to um well there's just so much sunshine in it but sunshine throughout and big beautiful hydrangeas and picnics and boiled eggs bit liking the flight what made me think of and there are so many references throughout it to childhood you know so i did wonder if there was a sort of a deliberate evoking of those sorts of idyllic childhood landscapes and visions of you know the sea and how blue it is and the spray and i found that all very very vivid and very very very melancholy in a way because i suppose it's nostalgic so that was one of the first things i suppose that i i um really noticed and really tuned into kind of then more than any any other aspect in a way more more to more that than they really which is kind of interesting and i don't really think of it as a as a dystopian novel particularly for me i think it's a novel about friendship um that's how i've experienced it now i think i think i read it well i did read it after a novel called the war by marlon househoffer and i read that again recently because i wrote an introduction to it and marlin houselove's book the war was written before that it was written in maybe the 50s or the 60s um somewhere around then i should really know actually um and sometimes that's described as a as a dystopian novel also because uh just briefly the setup is is that um a woman goes to visit some friends in a hunting lodge in austria and her two friends go out to a restaurant for something to eat and they don't come back and in the morning she's a bit confused and she goes out to see what's been going on she goes for a walk and she kind of bumps her head and she realizes she establishes that there's this invisible wall and it goes on and on and everything behind it has been frozen completely so she's the last woman left right so this is kind of again this kind of slightly sci-fi slightly dystopian kind of setup but really what that is is as an elaborate kind of scenario that allows modern health software then to explore what it is to be a woman living on your own and in a way i think there's something kind of similar here it's not that it's just a a device i don't i don't mean that but i don't think it's a for me i don't experience it as a an allegory um and i think it's the depth of it for me comes from the exploration of the need to make contact with somebody and and and for friendship and in every um in every variation there's like i don't know six seven chapters or on on the thing and somebody always offers their hand to somebody there's always that phrase and there's just this lovely thing throughout of hands being taken and hands being held and there's a real tenderness in it that i found very very very moving and just and we'll talk about about that because i'm interested to hear some of natasha's memories of of her when we kind of talk about that a bit later but that that aspect does interest me because of course from what i know from her childhood there were lots and lots of people around her as a child it wasn't just his family unit and there seems to be in this book an exploration of what it is to be a part of a larger network a larger community and this they seem to want to really instill this nuclear kind of family and for everyone to exist within these hermetic units which she never experienced herself and she thought she felt quite fortunate that in fact growing up she had a much more extended sense of of care and love um and that can sometimes absolutely disappear as as we get older um so those are the things really that that struck me i find this so fascinating because i feel like every time i speak to anyone who's read they they take something kind of slightly different from it and that's one of the seems to be for me one of the genius elements of this of this novel um natasha can i come to you now i'd love to know what your thoughts are i'd love to know actually when you first read they i know that you did just to give a background to our audience you grew up pretty much next door to k-dick didn't you in brighton when you were she was living there when you were a child yeah um i i guess my earliest memories of her i must have been around seven or something six or seven and um until my teenage years when i then spent most of my time in london but um so i couldn't gloss touch with her then but i think the only book i honestly remember was the shelf um coming onto our bookshelf literally um and you know neglected or sort of yes we'll get to it we'll get to it and i think i did try and read that as a teenager and you know couldn't make edna out of it so i've come to this as an adult um they and i read it the other week and um i absolutely loved it i was blown away by it of course i think i was probably evidence-finding and trying to sort of see all the parts of brighton that i knew as a child that he was experiencing as she wrote it and maybe put in the book so there's a tunnel in in the book and and you know all her descriptions of the beach i sort of in the hydrangeas i mean she did have this sort of topiary and she had an incredible gut she was a great gardener and she had a tiny tiny basement sort of with window boxes and so forth but my god she thought it was like day of the triplets i mean you couldn't even see through the windows walk past um the pavement and i think that was intentional she sort of buried herself under hydrangeas um like a like a sort of garden creature and um working at her desk and the window was just behind the hydrangeas and if she was in a good mood and feeling social if things were flowing she might wave and say hello and sort of lower her glasses and if things weren't going so well i don't know if i'm allowed to say this you would literally to the kids we were on bikes and scooters and roller skates really annoying i'm sure screaming up and down the pavement which was obviously sort of just slightly above her eye line and very distracting i imagine but she would just say will you [ __ ] off and you know we of course would be so excited by an adult telling us to [ __ ] off that we sort of get capitalized on that and go back the way we come yeah so you will continue to annoy her yeah um so she's incredibly different because she was always forgive eventually um but brighton that tunnel the way she describes it it's so vivid to me the sort of um the echoes and the gate at the end of all of those things are brilliantly beautifully inhabited and described and um i think to to claire's point about that sort of not accepting the social construct that everyone else just assumes and takes for granted and also you reading this in lockdown it just struck me how extraordinary that must have been for you that as people are getting fines to if they leave their house at the wrong time or if they sort of have a gathering or if they're doing something they're not meant to do um there's a sort of you know for completely different reasons i suppose but nonetheless that we're living in this very very strange time as you read it um and the mirroring of that in the book is it's at school um to say the least um and i but i do think she didn't have um [Music] a sort of it's it's not that she didn't respect the family unit i mean she did she really loved my parents and and she was very kind to my brother and i but i mean on our terrace just coincidentally i think my parents were amongst a handful of straight couples in a sort of family unit most people were um either gay or we had you know two mothers raising their child we had a few single mothers we had um an actor next to us who was gay but was married but and they were raising their grandchild i mean i mean there was no normal in inverted commerce everyone had their own sort of individual story and i think maybe it's no accident maybe it's an accident i don't know but she ended up in in that street and and didn't stand out as being peculiar or or strange or um yeah she absolutely inhabited her place within it and everyone had a story and um didn't quite fit into what you know a social construct married with 2.2 kids which at that time was probably more normal hearing um i mean coming today then as an adult and having known her as a child does it as well as recognizing these sort of elements of it that you can kind of translate into your knowledge of kind of bright and things like that does it make sense to you that she would have written this type of novel or does it kind of strike you with slightly left field and and sort of a strange concoction no um the the form of this is exactly the kind of book it makes perfect sense it's like the last piece of biblical puzzle so it's interesting hearing you say that the early books which i haven't read which i'm really fascinated to read now um are are less are very different or i i that they feel like they're from a different writer that's really interesting because this seems absolutely completely what i'd expect from her really on point and her sort of again i you know i don't want to project here as i say i didn't have an adult um i'm not looking at it through an adult portal i wasn't very much as a child but but then we did she you know i'd go and visit her and i'd sit and you know she'd offer me sort of watered down campari and crumpets and if you're talking about the famous five thing or the uni blighton thing is absolutely true there was always this sort of you know a scone with jam on it or or these sorts of things that my parents weren't particularly into that i think you know my dad was sort of vegan into nut wrestles at that time but kay was very much into something quite traditional and it was campari and soda at five o'clock and her cigarette holder and her monocle and um i think they said these things sound like their expectations but they seemed very organic to her and she just was singular i mean her clothes she she was like a um a sort of something out of um bride's head and as she modeled herself on on that she always sort of wore cricket jumpers with uh you know almost school colors on them and i sort of maybe a tie sometimes in this i always thought her hair was like mr whippy you know there was a sort of great pearl here and it was this fabulous shock of blonde hair and this monocle and electric blue eyes and very very penetrating and sort of forensic in her analysis of people and um yeah and she spent a lot of time alone um and i i do think people underestimate what what if you're a writer so you're already leading quite solitary existence and on top of that you live alone so everything every encounter you have is sort of organized by you or is constructed by you you know she wasn't in a community um unless she sought it and so that's they makes perfect sense to me that there's a sort of incredible reverence for friendship and for constructing your own family if you like your chosen family within your your family of origin or um the one you've made i i love that she sees uh and i suppose they're all creatives aren't they there is a maybe maybe there's a sort of us and them thing around i'm an artist and those people aren't and they don't understand and i i do recognize that as as someone who um i met as a child she definitely seemed rarified in that way she was very cerebral and she didn't tolerate um ignorance she definitely didn't um and she wouldn't snog um but but not a snob in a sense of uh you know money class anything to do to do with status it was all to do with yeah curiosity and um whether you could be bothered to read actually i think yeah i'd love to talk a little bit more about um the importance of friendship i think in this novel as everyone sort of rightly pointed out this seems to be quite a key thing like love um sort of affection between people romantic or just uh friendship wise is very very important in this in this novel um and i think it's been rightly pointed out that sort of dystopia maybe takes the uh takes the edge off that perhaps but i know that both claire louise and jay had talked um just in the green room beforehand have both mentioned that this was something that kind of struck them about the book and that and particularly about um some of kaye's other work i don't know if one of you wants to jump in and tell me which which of you was talking about ivy and stevie remind me the yeah it was you jay wasn't it so can you maybe explain to our audience what ivy and stevie the book is and and explain why we were going to talk about this um yeah so ivy and stevie is a sort of um it's a very thin book with two essays two um interviews and then two essays and essentially um kay had sort of taken it upon herself to interview them both um very casually and informally and there's a few sort of um so this is ivy compton burnett sorry to attract you i'm just very clarified no i'm just realizing we haven't actually told anyone yeah it's either yeah so so kay had just sort of taken it upon herself to sort of interview with both and to do it in a way that was sort of not journalistic not not the way that a newspaper journalist would do it so they sort of just sort of sit and they just talk and then she kind of edited them down [Music] and they both died and she put out this sort of book as a in memory of them and then wrote these two sort of lovely little essays which sort of examine them both as people and i think i thought that was really interesting um as i was reading there's a couple of things i want to say about love as well but i think it's interesting because this book to me when i read it i did not see it as as something about friendship and love it's just so interesting i i if anything i interpreted it as almost the the opposite i saw it as a as a desire for something that isn't there um and it's interesting to me because the they are kind of described as sort of imposing community on on the artists and the artists are actually yearning for individuality and and so on so i think there's i'm not i don't think that friendship isn't is absent from that but i think it's a very conflicted form it's a bit it's it's almost like a longing for it's a longing to relate rather than an examination of of relating do you know what i mean like i feel like there's and the fact that all of these people have different names each time the protagonist is unnamed and so on it's it it seems really conflicted to me and as i was reading ivy um ivy and stevie i noticed that in both conversations she really does come to love like she she brings it up as something that she wants to talk about i'll just give you like two little little sections so when she's talking to ivy she says it seems to me that in your books love often changes a character this whole way of morality and then when she's talking to stevie she says i want to ask you about love and then stevie smith says you've asked me about love i don't know it was i just i just thought her kind of insistence on this topic was like spoke volumes actually um because it it to me it what it betrays is both a fascination with other people and a desire for other people but also a kind of a deep loneliness and perhaps fear of other people as well which is definitely the theme the thing i took away from from reading day that's really fascinating what about you claire louise i also have been quite interested in some of her literary interviews haven't you yeah i was um i was reading uh the one with bridget uh brophy and maureen duffy um and then at the end of that collection she she's written an essay an autobiographical piece called on on friends and and friendships um and she talks about where she talks about you know when she was when she was born quite good i like this bit so i'll just read this little bit out actually so this was um some time before my conception my mother came to london from cambridge where she was living with a view to going on the stage an action which alienated her from her sister's husbands her pregnancy was the final cutting of the family bond she had friends yes she had friends bohemians she called them artists actresses demi monday met penniless the lot of them she knew where to find them at the cafe royale and indeed that is where my mother and i made our way after so she told me a wash and brush up in a charring cross lady's lavatory so my first evening in the world was very mundane very gregarious small wonder that i have a taste for cafe life the bohemians did not let us down they fettered us someone must have paid for our drinks toasts and blessings were exchanged and much sound advice about the problems of the world given to my small ears by three sophisticated ladies one being a famous artist's model whose red hair adorns his most lavish paintings i am sure we all had a splendid night out and that i was made much of which doubtless accounts for the trust i have in people it was to my mind an extremely fortunate first view of the world i must early have imbibed that friendliness which exists among those whose security is not threatened by the inhibitions of status so i thought that was very interesting um as a as a very early experience and she talks about her baby hood you know which is lovely no one talks about their babyhood um but i mean that's quite something if that's your first night in the world and it seems like throughout then the that this this idea of of of friendship i mean no i know suppose it was something that she was kind of um you know i idealistic about or um what's the word a bit kind of rose tinted about it seems like it was an ongoing kind of uh project or or a lifelong kind of but um i don't know something she was kind of conscious of um as a yeah an ongoing practice i suppose um i mean again she says my mother's simple explanations about the other people in our early life did teach me that listening and observing were rewarding occupations so there was a kind of uh yeah and then there's a there's a there's a piece in there somewhere where she's talking about her stepfather and they reaches a point where they're not really getting on anymore she's in a later adolescence and of course you know things start getting a bit tricky around around that stage so even though up until that point it's all been quite lovely and charming and she spent time in switzerland london after a few years in boarding school which weren't great but then there reaches a point where he kind of says you know at some point you're gonna have to go out and earn a living and that's the moment we all kind of dread and think oh god you know what's that what's that gonna involve that's just gonna be kind of grim so she's kind of a bit prickly then and they're not getting on too well and it seems they didn't get on really at all well i don't know just based on this and then she said in later life she kind of felt bad about that you know there was just this kind of gap and she wasn't at that stage very aware of what was going on in in his life so i kind of found her ability to sort of maybe look back and and maybe reassess certain attitudes that she had to people and kind of go oh actually yeah maybe i was a bit harsh there you know i mean we can all be i mean i've been quite horrendous with some people and i think perhaps you know because you just you could especially when you're younger you're just working from a particular place or if you're spending a lot of time on your own or whatever i mean you can't always keep perspective maybe but that ability i think to look to look back and and to make that assessment and say well there was a kind of a generation gap and it's a shame and she says that really what's needed to to to counter those gaps and to counter those misunderstandings is dialogue is conversation so it's not always necessary about getting on but at least it's about just being aware of what other people are experiencing so that you're not mean to them i suppose or not too mean to them too often yeah i can see you nodding along jay do you have um something do you have something you wanted to add to that yeah actually um i think that phrase you just used working for a particular place really resonates um with me because what it does then is it gets up what's underneath the novel like what's what's what's going on underneath this story um i think the subtext of this story is is is the kind of um the background and the history and the experience and the whatever that then informs one's behavior so to me reading this literally not that we have but to read it as a dystopia or as a kind of idea of the world or something like that it makes less sense when you think about it as actually it's about how you relate to other people in the place that you're coming from and that place i think is why it's so strange like that like one of my favorite sections for example is um pebble of unease which even as a title is like really cool like i just i just love it as a title but in it it's that section where um they're walking together and then there's hordes of people coming down the south oh with all their sticks and things yeah now what is going on in that section is definitely my favorite bit of the book i think because i just read it and was like it's poetic in the sense of it's an image it's an image that is the effect of something else right there's something else kind of going on and examining the image alone isn't going to give you any clear answers you know i mean it's actually the kind of like patching together of all of these separate different things and kind of like looking at them from different angles it gives you a sense of a hole on its own it's really unsettling really strange i almost feel like i'm kind of coming at friendship from a very unsettled place if you're kind of coming from a kind of you know it's a good thing or whatever and that's maybe why why why why why this work resonates with me because like you um you know like you claire i've also had a lot of trouble with friendships and relationships and i think this is a book on that subconscious level can really resonate i think um if i may sort of jump in just briefly i just thinking so much about how important reading friends and all the interviews and friends of friendship and ivy and stevie were to my understanding of what was going on in they that initially my first kind of response to the book was so much like this is a sort of strange dystopian tale for want of a better way of describing that kind of book but the more i read it the more i started thinking this is a book that is very much where it seemed to me very much about kadek the writer and the way that she engages with people and what she loves in terms of art and spending time with people and talking with people and um that sort of love that she has for her friends which seemed to i'm not saying it was always very straightforward but it seemed to sort of come through in those uh in those interviews that she she did and one of the things i think claire which she made me um sorry claire louise that you made me realize while you were talking about it just then was that how one of the wonderful things i think about those interviews is the way that she as much as she puts her subjects under the spotlight she is always referring back to herself as well she's very interested in how she has become the person she is and the friend she is right like that's something she keeps sort of referentially going back to and thinking how am i the person i mean scary telling that she ends friends and friendship with an essay a sort of memoir essay right well yeah i suppose there is that that idea that you are um made of your interactions with other people yeah you know you're not just um um that's a brilliant way of putting it i mean i think that's the impression i got of her is that she her interaction to other people uh and particularly with her friends because they seem to be of such kind of priority in her life they're the ones that give her um at least sort of some of her sense of identity and you know self-identity are we talking don't know natasha would you because you have some very interesting things to say about because i suppose we should maybe just briefly mention i don't know how much people are aware of this but you know and i think you'll talk about this much more eloquently natasha but so k dick had when she was living in london she was at the very heart of this london literary scene in hampstead she lived with her partner kathleen flower for many years and they knew um everybody you know the people she interviews are her friends um everyone you know she was friends with mural sparks she was friends with bridget brophy she's friends with um ivy condom burnett and stevie smith and then she moves to bryson and this is a very different stage in her life isn't it and you have some brilliant things to say about this natasha i think well first of all can i just go back to jay's point which is so it's due about the pebble because um there's a sort of loneliness i think in this book that you talk about yearning i think that's the word you used to comment but the parable i absolutely agree that struck me that it brought back this shard of of memory where i'd sit in her her house her her flat was a room so it was a studio room she had the bed and she had a desk by the window as i said instead of two chairs either side of the other window and then a mantle piece and um on the mantelpiece were these pebbles that she collected from the beach and they were like this little row of beautiful pebbles but they were her friends and i mean i remember quite often as a kid saying can i can i borrow that one or can i take that one because there were things i used to play with and she'd say no absolutely not um and i just and i'd forgotten about the purples until i read the book it just this vision came back to me and she had a game of solitaire that was made out of sea glass um so there are all sort of things from the beach which again you know keeps coming up in the book her sort of attachment to um just yeah her her natural surroundings the sort of landscape i feel there's a lot of landscape in that book and it was true for her she had a dog either sonny or timmy they were always dachshunds and she used to sort of they would that's what would get her outside in the morning if you like because i do think she i don't know if she suffered from depression but she definitely um well yeah she she she was lonely and certain but um in terms of your um what you were asking sorry lucy no no that was all brilliant about um her places our street was as i think i said it was quite an eclectic bunch of people um she really didn't have any money um as far as i remember um but as i said was always turned out immaculately that's very important to her um and i don't know am i allowed to share a couple of little notes that please do um sent to my parents that just they tickle me and also they're her words so it will uh represent her much more accurately than i ever could so um the first one is it's just a little card um and and these were very regular by the way she would put things through the profile and i think to all the neighbors i don't know it's my parents particularly that this is definitely how she shouldn't have television or of obviously a computer just a typewriter and and books and her wall there were there was no space for paint on her walls it was just shelves and shelves and shelves of books um and to that point she would lend her books to people and then get very angry if they didn't return so one one of them is um deroy um that that's my stepdad dear roy um this card is sent to all long-term book borrowers to show them what happened to those who offend i have had an eye operation which is a nuisance i don't know if you can see the card it's of a pottery figure in the brighton museum of a soldier being attacked by a tiger can everyone see this brilliant and um anyway i don't think my dad took very much notice of the card because um here's another plea um noreen and roy i wonder if you mind returning to me my copy of bruce chatwin's in patagonia which you borrowed over a year ago things would keep coming back and then there's another one which um she wrote uh uh um and this i think this is this says quite a lot about um what someone else was talking in reference to how she treated people or how she was constructed by um how she relates to people or her actions and and um so soon after so she'd um she'd ask my father for some help with a reviewer had written something um unpleasant about about her and she sort of asked him to intercept and i think he'd failed because you know she accuses him of being a people pleaser and just being nice to everyone anyway she she said um well roy dear noreen and tasha are correct you are a sophie in some ways that's a good point meaning of course that in other ways it's not at all a good point um you should not have hesitated to tell me exactly how matters stood as far as i was concerned with sunday times reviewing as to my being difficult may i just make a few points i do not consider myself to be difficult and have had in the main extremely good relations with various literary editors i think if i may say so that when i do produce um i produce good work certainly i'm ever careful of facts opinions on which over the years i have been proved right and to do my homework more than is probably necessary i realize that my procrastination is partly due to the fact that in some ways i want to stop reviewing ie small pieces easily forgotten and concentrate on producing books which is really my messier lack of money urges me to go on battling on the reviewing front but i i think to her point she was so thorough and assiduous and would re-read if she'd sort of she could quote um most of the books that she read um and also my parents recollection is she she would read the whole of a writer or or an author she would never sort of make an opinion on the basis of one book she would then visit four others so that's that's a rare the generosity towards other writers i think is something of course i wasn't aware of as a kid but looking back and looking at various things and letters that she'd written to my parents you know she took everyone's writing very very seriously she spent an inordinate amount and perhaps you know is a form of avoidance or procrastination of actually having to put pen to paper yourself but nonetheless the byproduct of that is is that she was incredibly generous about other people's writing and contributions and endeavors um that's something that seems to come up quite a lot there were um letters sent to the guardian in defense of her after that kind of terrible obituary was published and one of the things that was um talked about was her complete generosity towards particularly younger writers i think um and helping how she would help them and this is what i've heard people have told me over and over again that she was incredibly supportive of other people's work uh that she might even if she wasn't particularly you know fond of what they'd written she would kind of defend them to the hills in front of other people which is actually an incredibly kind of rare gift and she did but i imagine it's something that was honed um perhaps during her sort of editorial years i mean she spent quite a long time working as an editor beforehand something we haven't really mentioned we haven't had the time yet but she was the first female director of an english publishing house she edited yeah do you want to talk jay uh not not into dropship please actually no no no a little bit but but but i i sort of get the feeling that you know it's she was queer right she was talking about writer here talking about somebody who probably rubbed people up the wrong way by existing um right you know natasha when you describe the the hair and the eyes even the monocle like the monocle is such a [Music] old-school classic indication of of queerness and of a certain sort of masculine identity uh butch even identity um and i also read that obituary and thought okay it sounds like she probably did alienate people i don't actually think that you know i don't think it's a very good thing to speak so ill of the dead in a national newspaper but even if she did alienate people um and and upset them and so on well i can see why i could i can imagine that she you're a queer woman you're one of the first literary editors in this country even in 2001 this country was incredibly homophobic and and still is in some ways you know so it sounds to me like she was somebody who had to be had to be grating and and and brusque sometimes do you think this is also one of the reasons sorry natasha were you going to say something no i was only going to say just to bring it down to a really base level having spoken so aerodynamic um i do remember as a kid being confused about her not sexuality but her gender i i i remember saying to her as a little kid um with my mom standing next to me going stone-like and squeezing my hand um until i squealed um i i said okay i okay i would always call her k dick by the way which is also interesting you know which is a kind of great name anyway particularly who she was but it was never k which sounds quite sort of i don't know a little more feminine there was it was her name and i said hey dick katie i've got a question for you and she said what what and she was trying to talk to my mum and um and i said are you a man or a woman and she thought about it and she said i have the best of both worlds and which is a very elegant response and she carried on talking to my mom and then i you know pulled on her jumper again i said no no no i mean do you have a willy like mine or like my brothers your poor mother wanted to disown you immediately but yeah there was no self-consciousness um about her she that that was she was totally unapologetic um about or or defensive is really what i mean there was no she just was as she was and um i don't you know i never remember her talking about being a woman actually i i can never you know not often to a young girl an an older woman might reference you know specifically solely female experiences or even if it's down to biology or whatever she never ever did i never i never remember her being uh specific about any of that which of course is really liberating um yeah jay you can add something it's just that um i i was sort of hunting for references to you know to queerness to lesbianism as well and to womenhood and all of this and in um in ivy and stevie i did notice that there was one single line i remember uh in which she says that um i think ivy despite being deeply conservative in many ways did approve of the wolfenden report and that was it and the london report of course was the report that came before the uh the decriminalized partial decriminalization of homosexuality and that was it that was the sole line and i thought there was something really interesting about the placement of that line that was so pointed and yet understated um which sounds kind of like how she probably was in the world as well but also this this question where she says like i mentioned earlier it seems to me that in your books love often changes the character's whole way of morality there's a kind of a subtext to that i sometimes feel like she's asking questions that she herself is asking you know i'm conscious that we are getting towards the end of our time but i would like to briefly in particular talk a little bit about how or whether we think this is a particularly english book a very interesting idea because claire louise you gave a a lovely um quote you called this a masterwork of english pastoral horror eerie and i can't even speak today eerie and bewitching which i loved i think it captured so much about it but i'm really fascinated by this idea of the englishness of they um and i'd love to know some of your thoughts on this everyone um do you i don't know claire would you like to sorry claire louise would you like to start and kick us off a little yeah i mean as i said at the beginning i was struck by the englishness of it yeah and because i haven't i haven't lived there for quite a long time and like you say the seed cakes the tea there's so many kind of um signifiers of course always traditionally i've just found it and i found that all a bit kind of funny and a bit eccentric really um and i when i was doing i've been doing a bit of research on leonora carrington again and i theater thing i'm i'm involved in and it sort of it kind of reminded me of leonora carrington in a way the way that when she she moved away from england and she lived in mexico for a very very long time but that um that english way of life was still part of her imagination and and she took a lot of enjoyment in depicting uh certain i suppose tropes um of english life and so relish them and enjoyed them in a in a kind of um almost camp kind of way to a degree um and i i yeah i think there's a little bit of that going on in there definitely but then there's also i i would yeah kind of i suppose situate situated in a sort of a tradition of um being you know english and pastoral i mean sort of there's a story i read many many years ago is it emma emma james of you from a hell um he's got some binoculars or something and they're you know jay seems to know it well they're bewitched or something and you and the guy looks through them and he sees um you know because it's all sprawling beautiful countryside southwest of england i think and he's gone up this walk and he looks through these binoculars and because they give it away don't give it away oh yeah okay um anyway it um it kind of made me think of that uh story that i won't talk about anymore um because the english growing up the english you know the english countryside it is it is obviously it's it's almost um unnervingly kind of glorious and beautiful and and there's always places like i remember a place called goa gallows hill and there was um like a wooden frame and we used to drive pasta on a country length of white lady's lane and there was a kind of a and it was the remains of a jibber stuff like that you know that you would that you would see and um and lots of that land would have been i suppose battlefields or um and then also growing up where i was we were very near um raf bases so there was a sense of i remember during the gulf war kind of planes and so there was always that duality to it you know as well as being kind of pastoral and bucolic and and beautiful there was always this kind of secondary thing like you know yeah this the skull beneath the soil kind of kind of vibe that was going on and and and so i suppose in a sense and that's been explored by any number i'm thinking of like um what kate burson of kate bush's songs like experiment four and cloud busting and all that sort of thing and some of ben weakness films you know um kind of explore and of course the wicker man and there's always been that sort of uh yeah it's suddenly making me think of folk horror in a way that i actually had yeah i suppose yeah i mean she talks about you know this crucifix made of seaweed in in one of the part i can't remember but it's left on the doorstep i mean crucifix of seaweed it's kind of funny but it's supposed to be kind of like oh yeah you don't want to find it when you're doing stuff brilliant it's such a brilliant image i i loved that i was like wow that's sort of um yeah funny and a bit horrible as well yeah it also made me think a little bit about what you were saying like some of the those sort of images like you were saying claire louise like they stand for so much something like that about crucifix kind of carries so much different weight with it but i'm also thinking about what you said jay about the writing being so poetic on so many levels that you know kadek was a poet as well i think the very first thing she ever published was some poetry and we probably shouldn't forget that about her and i'd love to know from one poet to the other is that what you notice particularly when you do you notice that in the writing did you kind of think this is particularly poetic writing and if so what does what do you mean by that yeah um it is poetic you mentioned her earlier novels and how mannered they are and i sort of had a look at them and i saw before yeah these these do feel like a sort of a world apart like she's doing something very different yeah they're completely kind of alien completely alien um even the sort of historical stuff i was like okay this is yeah this is maybe coming closer but um i suppose when i say that it's it's poetic i mean it's um it is operating in the spaces um you know she is not simply saying x y z happened no it's a little machine that is allowing you to enter into a different space a different a different psychological space a different emotional space and in some ways a different political space i think um you know colombia was saying about um the englishness i would say probably the defining aspect of the englishness for me is the class differential between the the artists in the enclave and they who i think are classed as being working classes being sort of um uh sort of uh rough and and um uncouth you know like you almost get that kind of sense from them but also that the english countryside is a site of horrific um land dispossession i think we really forget that um people were forced off off the land into industrial industrial centers you know include the enclosures acts and things like that and that that was a brutal decades-long over over the course of the century in a bit um campaign against humanity really and against the kind of the rights and the culture and the history and the dignity of the people who've been attached to that land um and i think that's part of where the horror comes from on that from that [Music] uh um and that subconscious level and also why i think her work is so poetic because it it touches that like i feel like that bleeds through the grass so to speak so you know actually as you squelch down into this muggle you're sculpting into blood but that's not it's it's implicated without that much comment to put it to put it in that way i love that squelching down into the novel more novels to give you that's the kind of brilliant brilliant you know that's i think that's one of the great things about this novel is that it it allows you to do that to really kind of engage with it on all these multiple levels and to kind of find something new each time as you read it considering it's such a a slight book um we've got some questions i could keep asking uh keep asking you questions of my own but what i'm going to do is shift to the audience questions now and we'll see how many of those we can get through i think if we may um so i'm just looking at my tablet over here we have one from sarah now this is an interesting one it's very good do you think that there is a literary inheritor of they is there a recent book that you can see in they shadow i find this fascinating because i keep thinking like what other books is day like and is there anyone writing about it today um who wants to take this question be put on the spot anyone any ideas um i didn't i didn't have a recent one that was exactly the same go for it anyway uh i i i did think i had two sort of thoughts one was around um it was around sort of octavia butler not because of um not because it's sort of formally the same or because i think the writing is is particularly similar but just because of the us and them dynamic and the parable of the sower for example where those in the in the kind of enclave are oh yes that's weird those within the within the enclave are [Music] sorry i'm sorry someone just came up with my sorry about that the enclave is is kind of where the story is kind of set and then there's the people outside of it who are the kind of um the kind of villains of the story and i felt like there was something kind of in that sort of in inca encirclement or encampment that kind of resonated a little bit with that um but i think the book that actually like made me think about they is this book um which is by anna caban i don't know if you use anyone yeah cool i think it's it's slightly you know in the screen you can't see it it's not white on the screen exactly which one is it it's ice ice yeah and i've got to thank ben rivers we've been working together and he kind of mentioned it to me and said that you know like it's probably one to read and i think it really does put the book into context especially in terms of like english science fiction and so on um so yeah that was my kind of two cents yeah i don't know if anyone else has anything to add i think i agree with ice that was the first thing that i thought of and i read it and then there are obvious you know similarities between you can think of the um the they as slightly similar to the book burning firemen in something like fahrenheit 451. there's those sorts of dystopian elements but i think ice is a great one in terms of the slightly strangeness of it and uh i don't know claire louise natasha can you think of anything i was just thinking about strangeness and sort of um i get i guess yeah it's overused but you know the dystopian element did has anyone read a book um by karen jennings called an island no um was um i think on the long long booker list i actually can't remember uh oh was it from last year yeah yes i do i haven't read it but i know the one you're talking about okay is that quite similar or got similar elements let's say yeah it's not similar i couldn't say it was similar but there's something you don't know where it is it's um it's it's sort of extraordinary but and and you it's just quite you feel very uncomfortable when you're reading it um and um yeah it's different in that it's about you know a body that gets washed up and um it's it's it's you know really only two characters but but they're a representative of um wider populations i guess and one one's um um a refugee um but anyway it's yeah that's great yeah that's some good recommendations there i like that we've got a few more questions here um what uh no this is one for you natasha sorry to stick with you could you single out jane henry is asking could you single out one enduring memory of kay one particular memory of all of them that's a tricky question probably a tricky ask well there's an interesting thing and i don't want to be disruptive here because i noticed that in some of the retaliation about that um obituary uh there's a narrative that i think even my stepdad is partly responsible for is that she loved young people she loved animals and she loved um certain people um and but she was selective so part of her charm i think is if she did give you attention and when she did give you attention she gave you all of her attention you really felt you were the only person in the room um therefore it was very rewarding i don't think she was one of those people who just sort of you know ran up to children and toddlers and and befriended them she really didn't um she was yeah she was in her own imagine to pinterland i now realize that when i look back um she was struggling and wrestling with ideas and wanting to get them down on paper and that was a massive struggle for her um some of the time and so i think yeah it's as someone else said earlier on what um i think it was euclid louise but when you talk about you know the place that you're coming from um whether that's so so it it's it's so lovely to revisit as an adult her writing and to understand that what may have seemed like crankiness and um just rudeness and so much of the time was really just because she was in a very solitary place wrestling with her demons and you caught her mid-conversation in her mind and um yeah that's deeply annoying it's like catching waking someone out of a dream i often felt that about how you had to be very careful it was sort of walking on eggshells you didn't quite know which okay dick you were going to meet um but that's not to say that there was anything um you know intrinsically horrible about her that wasn't at all it was um it's she's just a great example of someone who's chosen the road less traveled and the cost you know the price of that thank you there's another question here which um i want i think claire louise actually i might ask you to just refer back to what you were speaking out earlier because it's so eloquent but um philip asks what we what we can learn from kaydick's early life and i think what you were saying earlier particularly about some of her recollections of her birth and the kind of slightly strangeness of her the strangeness of her upbringing perhaps what do you think um learning about that has sort of added to your understanding of cadec's work and particularly they um well i mean i it's only it's i've only been delving into the the autobiographical aspect just very um recently but um but just that sense of uh as i said i suppose being um just being among among people and in it um [Music] it reminds it reminds us it reminds me i guess how i mean i love my solitude very very much and [Music] but it is important if one is going to be empathic um and compassionate and one of those things that are kind of important if um [Music] if we're going to [Music] understand i suppose understand beyond our ourselves and be on the reach of our experience um that it is necessary to to move among other people and and to remember the importance of of listening in his natasha said you know pain paying attention and and and it is and obviously she did struggle sometimes with balancing that as as we all do because she also said that she loved to daydream um and and loved that time on her own to just so and it can be quite difficult sometimes because like that if you get caught at a moment you are likely to tell someone to [ __ ] off she's not empathic or compassionate or kind but it's very human i think um so so from what i'm discovering of of her so far um it's it's kind of resonates and it feels quite sort of realistic um really yeah very interesting but i'm curious as to kind of where the book came out of because as has been mentioned her previous books weren't really anything like it so it is interesting to think to wonder what it was that really just sort of came together for her um because it doesn't feel contrived or forced or like she's copying anyone i mean a kind of um i suppose it does remind me not not so much of the um anna caven i i i couldn't get that parallel so much but certainly some of ann quinn's work just in terms of the style i suppose rather than maybe the subject matter then maybe that's what you were associating with in a cavern but i this style i think for me um so i don't know whether she was aware of of her work and i know that she says in in this piece something about after muriel spark was was ill and she and she wrote a couple of maybe extraordinary books in it in a slightly different uh in a slightly different way and whether i don't know where she was she may be ill prior to writing day or something i'm not i'm not quite sure of the timelines but i wonder if that i'm just curious about what what yeah if something had happened i didn't think this is the sort of the speculation i think so far is that possibly um she went through a period of about 10 years where she wasn't writing fiction she was only writing those books of interviews and a non-fiction book um that was very different and during that time she definitely suffered some uh quite sort of considerable losses her her relationship with kathleen pharaoh who she'd been going out with for sort of 20 years broke up she moved to brighton she also tried to kill herself at one point and she had a lover who also committed suicide and these are things that she writes about in um that essay and friends and friendship and i think my reading of it was definitely colored by that that she seemed to sort of emerge on the other side and be writing something completely different like she's shed her skin almost and is coming out and i think that's also why particularly it reminded me of anna kavan because she had that amazing sort of mid-life move as well like she had you know she developed her heroin addiction left her husband and became this kind of emaciated bottle blonde and wrote these incredible books that were very different to the ones that she'd first written so there seems to be something in the i don't know in the water in the air at that time of the sort of these particular there just seems to be a few women who've kind of undergone that but obviously something in her life really changed for her during that time which i think does make it particularly intriguing for me at least as a kind of reader um i don't know if anyone else wants to add anything to that in our last few minutes dropping that in there sorry we have one i think we've got a couple of minutes left um i'm going to push us right to the very end we have one question here um that is asking which is interesting because in a way i started out by talking about this because of dystopia and then you all swiftly undercut me and said that was not the point of it which is brilliant to hear in many ways um but somebody has asked they have neglected to give their name but they um have asked why are we reading dystopian works uh today in this day and age when the world is already just hoping enough and um i think that is a kind of interesting question that you depend on that one of the things about this book that does seem to be that it is talking to people now in a way that it might not have talked to people at the time i'd love to know asking you very quickly what if anyone's got any thoughts on that you know the um maybe just leave that like the new yorker last week wrote a wonderful piece about the discovery of this book but um their writer sam knight said it's taking global misfortune and some sliding towards the abyss for they to speak fully and to be heard there does seem to be something about now it's a fortuitous discovery but something about this book does seem to speak to people does anyone have any final thoughts on that i just have one really quick thought which is i think if this book was written now the presence of sort of victimhood would be much more front and center and i think the thing about kay dick was for all of her paranoia or yearnings or wanting attention that perhaps she didn't get and soliciting um commissions and so forth i i never got a feeling from the things that she sent to my parents or my experience of her that um there was that she was a victim and and i i do i do think that's the difference i don't know if that's useful in any way but um i think she felt she she did have agency um and and she could have easily fallen into a category of i mean given all the you know the prejudice that that would have existed at that time i i never ever she seemed to rise above and beyond it and just see it as irrelevant just you know it wasn't wasn't going to give it the time of day and that's quite inspiring it's incredibly inspiring i think that's does any i mean i feel like that's the perfect way to draw this to explode unless anyone has anything burning to add please do say now yeah oh please do jay i i i'm just gonna say it the good question me [Music] um it's a little a certain kind of um finger-ragging kind of disapproval and i think we the book itself is about is ask the fundamental question of what does it mean to make art for no one um that's what common library moment charlotte says at least in the theme i think that's a really good way of kind of putting it the idea that we don't read books because we don't think that they are permissible in the current world that we're in is precisely why we need to read those books you know we need to get beyond that that mentality that's great i think there's no better place to end it than that then thank you so much everyone i have had a wonderful discussion it's been great to talk to you all thank you so much jay claire louise natasha and lucy if this evening's conversation has inspired you at home to read or rediscover they you can buy your copy from the british library

well as your copy of they and support independent bookshops while you shop um i'd like to thank our partners at the british library for hosting this evening and the team at unique media for broadcasting this conversation to so many across the world thanks to to the teams at curtis brown heritage and faber for all their work in bringing tonight's discussion together and to the rsl's events manager beth gallimore you can please join us uh again next tuesday in person at the british library or online for a special event with jillian anderson and andrew o'hagan discussing what it

NYVzBOuS1fI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYVzBOuS1fI | Fusion 360: Components, Assemblies, Joints (Part 4 of 4) | okay so in this final video of this this series about uh components and assemblies and joints i'm going to recreate this design of a simple crank that allows a shaft to turn and this will in no way be a tutorial i'll do this as quickly as humanly possible and with the idea that you'll try and struggle your way through it with some knowledge about how to create components and assemblies and see where you get stuck so the first thing i'm going to do is create a component and i'll call this the box i will create a sketch on the front work plane and just make a rectangle of some dimension i'm not paying it any attention to sizes here and i'm going to create an offset to make that kind of hollow box shape i will then extrude this and hit ok so i've got a component and a timeline in which i drew a sketch and i've extruded i'm going to switch back to my main component and then create a new one called shaft and from here i'm just going to create a cylinder i'll create that cylinder on maybe this back plane here of the component or even better than that let me hit escape anytime it's possible it's better to create things that have based off of references that are in my component so basing it off of another component is not as good as basing it off of something like the main work plane so i'm going to just create that shaft here and i'm going to drag out so it's sticking out and hit ok so that's my second component that's it i'm going to go back to the main component create a new one and i'll call this one the crank not sure that's the best name but for this one i will again create a sketch and i'll create it actually this time i will create it in relationship to this other component and i will make a box here and i'll also make uh well that's it i'll make a box and then i will extrude this in a bit hit okay so what i'm doing is in each of these cases i'm creating collisions between these separate components and that's okay so i'll resolve those in the end i will go back to my main component create one more component which is called the handle and again i will create a cylinder inside this component i'll create it on the back surface of this one and i will just pull it out this way so that's it i've got all my components and if i go back to the root component i can see them all together and now what i'm interested in is first of all this is just colliding with that and it and this is just colliding with that blue piece as well they're not actually there's no hole in there they're just smashed into each other so the first thing i'm going to do is modify combine and say i'd like to cut this using this as a tool body and this as a tool body i want to keep tools so that those things don't disappear afterward and when i hit ok there's an interesting thing that happens on the timeline which shows that it happened in that component it happened to that blue component so even though i didn't select that component first it knows that it's in reference to that component and if i click on activate that component you can see that's where that action happened so we don't always have to switch to the component when we want to do something to it it's really just in that beginning phase while we're creating them that it's really important so i'm also going to do the same thing here modify combine and choose the body this box body and then the tool body will be the shaft again make sure i keep tools and hit ok so now if i have that shaft i can see i've got holes everywhere again if i really wanted this shaft to be able to slide in here i'd have to click on that face and go to offset faces and make that a little bit larger than it's supposed to be but i'm not going to worry about that right now this final detail is how do i create an assembly from all of this how can i make joints and so far we've been using the joint command which actually takes two things that are in two totally different places and two totally different places and snaps them together so we remember that from our box example they were separate and they got snapped together well this is our opportunity to see a really interesting and shortcut time saver which is the as built joint so everything is already in the right place so if i do an as built joint i can make joints really easily i can say it's a rigid joint between this one and this one and hit ok i'll swipe up with my right button to do the same thing there's a rigid joint between this component and this component and hit ok swipe up again and there's a revolute joint between this component and this one and then for this one it does ask me for a little more information where do what are they spinning around like where's the actual point that they're uh revolving around and so i could choose the end of this if i if i'm being picky and i really want it to be right there at that place notice it's really hard to select that so this is where i'm going to show you another trick if i hold down the command button on the mac it will make sure that it's able to select on that face so it's not leaving that face so by clicking there it's actually oh that's bad what i'll do is select them in the correct order which is to say this revolves around this and then choose that same place okay and i hit ok and at this point if i double click on that joint i should be able to see the kind of motion that i want it's not very easy to see because there's no pattern or texture or holes or anything on this shaft so i want to show you one more detail that we haven't gone over which is to insert a decal and i will choose a checkerboard pattern and i can choose this face and just stretch it out so that it reaches over the whole thing chain faces means that it will wrap around to the front and back and so on but i can uncheck that and again just make sure it's big enough to cover everything and then hit ok so now when i revolve that joint there it goes that's the whole thing see if you can recreate this and that would be a good challenge for you to understand how to create components how to create multiple components how to create an as built joint so joints that are already in position and also using combine to make sure that all of these holes are actually there and not just you know these things sitting against each other we know how to tell if that's the case by going to in inspect and choosing interference this will tell us if there were actual places where these were just interfering and there wasn't actually a hole for this shaft for example so that's a good use of that and also a good opportunity to try out the decal function and to do the one thing that i didn't do which is offset faces in these holes so that they actually could work in real life so those holes are slightly larger at that point you will have pulled together a lot of new skills to be able to make an assembly of moving parts relating different components through the use of joints | Rob Duarte | UCKUceMVlZ7edamvKyuGyAJw | 2020-10-07 | Creative Commons

YnhlVtwaYBI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YnhlVtwaYBI | Performapal Zoodiac vs. Harpie Zoodiac (YGOpro Duels) Yu-Gi-Oh! 3/21/2017 | hey whats up guys Phoenix here this video's give another yugioh probe dual video and this time I'm playing with you to form house video video who booty Eric back yet again it's the deck that I really enjoy playing it it's very much like the probably definitive pet project of my of my current format like of the zodiac format is a problem with the deck that I probably would love to succeed with more than anything else just because of the sheer amount of just uniqueness of the deck has definitely operating off of some basic zodiac stretch but also operating on a very like different basis as far as it implements the zodiac stuff nicely into the list but also does so in such an unorthodox way that it seems to work really like fluidly and nicely but also being vastly like different from anything else for doing in the format but anyway as you can see my opening hands I got to go first is double maxi double magical abductor and a sky iris so if that would have been terraforming instead of Scott iris than this this hand would have been even more insane than it actually was because then both of those abductors would have been able to trigger for searches but because it was skyress I was only able to get one but still one abductor search is still huge because it allows me to go for my pendulum sorcerer and then pendulum it with the abductor after I pop it out of the scale of skyress to get a high scale that I mean to pendulum summon and then I'm able to make broad bowl search for my rep here and I have a normal summoned yet so I'm able to normal phone my rep here and I'm able to go into a play line for for allowing me to basically resolve a really Jenky but yet still very good usually substitute play still allows me to draw four cards because my Extra Deck is really tight for the second is if you couldn't already tell it's got the odd eyes package in it it's got some syncros and it's got the zodiac stuff in it and with the zodiac stuff there's literally only room for one of each of the zodiac key phases and for this combo you have to use broad bolts twice in every iteration of it so you have to detach Broadway lofts harder mortar and then put it back into your deck off of interior thats what i got so emeril in order for you to even have a chance at doing the combo correctly but for this one it's even weirder because I've got to make broad bowl wants to search rep here navigating broad bowl again search for the the loon white black sheep in order to get fusing substitute and then depending on how much further I'm trying to go with it I'd have to shuffle back broad bull a third time before I could make it but with this with this situation with the way that I'm doing the combo here and now you'll see that that's not actually the case because you end up leaving via the war bow and the broad bowl out and so instead of fusing away with the emeril I'm sitting here debating my options and counting like spaces and what my special summon is going to look like well my special summons would be but basically I just decided to go with with the boar fo and the broad bowl here is the Norden the Norden will bring back to the rat Pierre or just like an abductee or whatever the whatever for you bring back on through an open door Dan here is irrelevant because it's going to be putting derided over that rap years left over so you end with a dry it with one material on it which is the same as the normal speed and substitute combo but in this one you leave the with this one because you had to make the broad bowl first to search wrap here you don't get to resolve you don't need to resolve multiple emeralds but you do get to leave em roll up and then search then my king of the feral imp and search for the elusive draw which I do here so I came to do get turtle is its own so that's why i added skulker by Joker editorial because i knew that i was going to be able to add lizard draw at some point help of king of the feral imp but so from here I just got tons of cars I didn't draw into any life settles like dimensional barrier or anything like that so this is I just put the arch meeting centric in my scale just to threaten with it because I'm not really like in any position to where I should feel like I should be worried about the Archfiend eccentric going away and like putting your screen eccentric they're just threatened your back rows going away very effectively but so he just sets for impacts let's turn I've got a double maxi in hand I'd love to use either of them and then I draw a dimensional barrier for turn and just use the arcsine ecstatic straightaway on the center card and it ends up being harpies feather storm the new card that we get in do love saga as i believe is when we're getting that release to us so i like very soon so this plan I know that he's playing like harpies definitively we played some matches earlier in the day and he was playing harpies but I had no idea of knowing whether or not he had changed the deck up or not for the recording or if he had or if he had stayed with the harpy back now harpies feather storm is an interesting card I didn't know we were getting it when we were getting in I didn't know we were getting it into a saugus and if the cards that has a lot of potential applications as far as like the harpy deck being able to play going second against fields of zodiac nice parts because you could normal summon something like harpie channeler and if you have something like harpies a heartbeat hunting ground on the board you're going to be threatening back row already naturally and so they're going to be incentivized to want to pop your cards with Dryden and then you could use feather storm from your hands because that its effect if you control a harpy court you can activate it from your hand so it's a trap that can be activated from hand which is a very solid addition to the deck edge of the gate all of your opponent's monster effect for the entire turn so like that that's actually an insane court effect when you actually take the time to look at it and read and like hmm top-notch but anyway so as you can see I'm just doing my place here doing my turn structure set up my scales I think I drew another two cards and I drew Maximilian or just search Maximilian I can't actually remember but I'm just able to cycle my cards in get another emerald draw get another emerald made while topping the first demo I think I popped it off the sky iris if i remember correctly but there's a barrage there as well so it could pop off Farage but then you know getting the mo off the board into the graveyard so that I can make a second Emeril and recycle it and make my resource pool infinite is what I'm trying to do here so um so using scar so I guess I did top it off Farage in some capacity and the using tire search for Maya for my life Phoenix and then pinned looming to I don't have any more like multiple targets in my deck elders and sorcerer so sorcerer can't activate but from here I'm just trying to clear as many cards as possible and ensure a very like clean cut like game shot so I decided like mr. usually a mr. to pop my gets hurt a lot on my scale because I'm out of lizard draws in my back or no it don't pop the kitchen looks so interesting I thought I was out of your turtles so are at lizard draw so I thought I was a woman to talk to get turtle but I guess I just didn't have a high scale so i guess it was just better for me to puffs up doctor i'm trying to relive my own small process at the time but I pop the abductor send it back row and then use odd-eyes fusion before vortex on board though he's only got two cards left and vortex gets to negate one of them and so it's just overall if it seems like a strong strong situation where you'd be in but so he goes first and he activates harpy sign or a stair shine and as elegant egotist and sets three and pastures turn so I'm positive that almost one of their at least one of those is probably just that elegant egotist trying to bluff with it so I just used the Archfiend eccentric and top a random car in the main storm air force and so I'm I'm really okay with that so some of my school cravat Joker add my opinion sorcerer to hand and put my sorcerer in the scale while activating skyress in order to get access to a low scale so i can then pendulum summon out now I've got pinky in my hand as well which means I have access to a raft or a low scalars need to be depending on what the situation is but so I just decide to scale up with my loser draw is the high scale and then my light Phoenix is too low scale and at this point he splits dimensional barrier calling pendulum I'm like okay this is fine so we you think you to add the lv rent gear and then I get the pendulum summon that rep here from hand so here's one back row left and at this point I'm positive is that the elegant you get this like it just makes no sense not to bluff with it because if you're trying to just set a missing looking amount of back row so make me not want to advance my place you're going to set a cord you just got the free just like you're going to do that it's not something you're not going to do look so I started doing my rat combo go into the broad bulb go into searching my luma light black shape go to my tiger motor here and here is why it's really weird for the combo for this act like I said you can only have the extra deck space to play one of each of the zoo expenses and you have to resolve to broad bolt in the combo string because you have to resolve the first one to search for the black sheep then you have to be able to exceed summon one out of your extra deck the normal way off of your northern play and so what you have to do is you have to make blood bowl first at detachable Tiger border re-equipped the rep here and then detach it some of the rat peers I have deck and then shuffle it back off Emel that way it's in your extra deck so it's very it's very uh it's very susceptible to hand trap sub is combo instead especially in my deck but it really doesn't matter that much in the grand scheme of things because if I was able to do the things that I'm trying to do anyway I have already resolved like some pendulum place potentially and stuff like that so my back isn't really as heavily rely this combo as pure zoo would be to gain resources because my deck is naturally a pendulum engine so it can fall back on other things and as you can see here because I'm playing the zodiac card on my deck is able to fall back on it instead the pendulum mentioned so like I'm under dimensional barrier calling pendulum and so instead I just decided to go to a rat pier play utilizing my pendulum summoned to start that rep here play because of the fact that I already had a conflicting normal summon in my hand in the form of the skolko bad Joker now the deck is very low on normal summon counts because it's got the he's got the skolko by Joker it's got the three ref years and it's got the 210 keys in it currently that's six total mobile summons so it's very rare for you to draw tues them together but the chances are still there for you draw them together but luckily rat is the card that can be pendulum summon so I mean it's not ideal to pendulum summon a rat except for certain situations but you can pendulum summon a rat and when you fiddle summon rat you are able to generate resources after that after so after the fact essentially because as you saw like I just got to draw two cards and reset my resource pool off of the few substitutes play even though i just got dimensional barrier college pendulum and so it's able to allow me to set up my Dryden's to let it allows me to do pretty much a ton of different things and as you can see that is an effect Baylor in my hand I'm playing Baylor in this list because it is searchable off magical abductor as well as the fact that the pure zoom variants are actually becoming weaker and weaker to Baylor as time goes on specifically the ones that play the fusion substitute nonsense because the fusion substitute play has a very susceptible point in it where a sailor will just end their turn and that is when they summon nor them to try and bring back rack if you've a low the Norden then it's just over they have to have another card to invest in that play and at that point they've only drawn one off emerald and so at that point like they have to have the other card up front to invest in the play or else they have to end their turn with no dryden sand know anything else if so it's just it's stronger than go soldier in my opinion or at least creeping up there to where it's like even like playing field with ghost ogre as far as being like versatility in terms of different types of game states like you can baylor MX saber invoker whereas like ghosts over on the speed boy para top plates like if your opponent plays it right go so great not going to be like really optimal you're going to trade the ghost over for them to not make a Merle essentially whereas was Baylor in that instance if they go Tara top into invoker you're going to Baylor there and volker and then you are going to you're going to potentially end their turn and they don't get dry or veils are or emeril like there's there's a bunch of different options available to you as far as a what makes Baylor good and what makes ghost those are good but Baylor is definitely creeping up there in the format in terms of its viability but so I'm just doing some plays I've done some sky researching I believe I've made all I zwart x dragon to invalidate that back row if it is something but at this plan still one hundred percent like committed to thinking that it's a elegant egotist because it didn't get slipped the next like last turn racing like that and all he did last turn will try to DVD 8 barrages of stearic sign which is an insane interaction by the way if you do hear brushes stared sign you'll get your search in the in-phase and that's pretty cool the only problem I have with it is in its Terry sign can only use one of its effect per turn and its effect that elegant egotist when you put it face up on the board is mandatory so that effect wasn't mandatory then I think it would be a lot better of an interaction because you'd be able to activate instead sign not get elegant egotist and then pop it with a Zodiac garage and go for the plus 3 and the in-phase off searching your 3 harpy cards which harpies feather storm is the cord you can search off of the hysterics I'm so like there's that as well like there's there's a bunch of interactions that you have for for that but it's ultimately just doesn't seem like it works out the best in terms of how it could be functioning so that's a little bit of an unfortunate thing but so as you can see I just dedicated my entire turn to uh it's a generating court advantage and establishing my setup for like the the kill parent essentially just to just to basically out resource my opponent is literally all I'm trying to do here and it does end up giving me the win because of the fact that i've got a negation on the board I've cycled through my cards and ended up with a dryden with another material on it I've just generated more and more cards and so basically I'm just trying to out resource and turn after turn next return I'm not too worried about trying to kill him outright because if I out resource them for turn after turn that I'm going to win from there but anyway this was just a short little video because I haven't done a video in a

volunteer please visit librivox.org recording by christina bowie the library assistant manual by theodore w coke chapter 2 organization of a library the organization of the average library consists of the following component parts number one board of trustees the main function of the board of trustees is to look after the financial interests of the library to see that the buildings and equipment are properly cared for and to decide broad questions of policy trustees should be but are not always elected from the elite of the community it is expected that in them will be found a genuine culture an appreciation of things pertaining to the arts and sciences combined with the advantages of education travel and sufficient leisure to look after public interests cultivated men says edward edwards familiar with books from childhood have usually a very inadequate perception of the toil and thought which have to be given to the good arrangement the accurate cataloging and the ready service of a library what then is to be expected if a dominant share in the management of a library be placed in the hands of men with just enough of elementary education to bring into broad daylight the intensest ignorance in union with the most stolen self-conceit a little bookishness in a committee man said justin windsor may be as dangerous as a sip from the poet's piarian spring particularly if there is no deeper learning in any of his associates he knows just enough of books not to know that he knows nothing of libraries number two the librarian a librarian said henry bradshaw is one who earns his living by attending to the wants of those for whose use the library under his charge exists his prime duty being in the widest possible sense of the phrase to save the time of those who seek his services the librarian has been variously compared to the commissariat in the republic of letters whose business is not to fight himself but to put others in fighting trim or to the host at the banquet of knowledge who is assiduous in securing the comfort of the guest and in placing before each one just the kind of food he likes and requires he knows that what is one man's meat is another man's poison enthusiasm for the work is a prime requisite in the librarian even a good staff cannot overcome the deadening influence of daily contact with the chief lacking in enthusiasm to the librarian should be left the details of administration the librarian is the executive officer of the board of trustees and the latter if wise will look to the librarian for getting the results desired and will allow that officer as free a hand as possible if the librarian is not capable of administering the library or worthy of the fullest confidence the sooner one is secured who measures up to the standard the better number three the library staff the duties of the staff vary with the size of the library in the smallest libraries the librarian may be the only one engaged in the actual work of the library but in such cases the library hours must be restricted to such as one person can take care of the next step in growth is to have someone relieve the librarian at the desk and to do the more clerical work next comes special assistants to look after special tests like cataloging and classifying desk work and so on the staff whether large or small should consider itself responsible to the librarian and should not except in extraordinary cases go directly to the board of trustees with petitions the librarian should always be the spokesman for the staff going over his head indicates a lack of sympathy and cooperation between the librarian and the staff that argues badly for the welfare of the institution qualifications for library work the best preparation for library work is a thorough systematic general education to this should be added a special preparation secured either through apprenticeship a training class or a regular library school different positions call for different qualities and assistance but library service in general demands tact perseverance adaptability habits of precision and accuracy with a fair amount of speed ability to distinguish between essentials and non-essentials and a strong desire to be of service a certain familiarity with books and famous characters in history and in fiction is expected of everyone in a library personal neatness good temper and a sense of humor are valuable assets in this as in other lines of work no one will succeed in library work who goes into it merely for the money that can be got out of it loyalty to the institution and its officers is essential to efficient service if the assistant cannot feel the sense of loyalty the sooner a new position is secured the better for all concerned dignity self-possession and self-reliance are valuable qualities in any part of the library but are especially needed by assistance at the reference desk qualities that unfit one for library work in general are physical weakness deformity poor memory a discontented disposition egotism a lack of system in one's method of work an inability or unwillingness to take responsibilities a tendency to theorize criticize or gossip inability to mine one's own business fussiness and long-windedness one librarian advocates listing the virtues and personal qualities of the staff and apprentices by having a questionnaire like the following filled out for each assistant has she tacked has she enthusiasm has she method and system is she punctual is she neat is she kind is she a good disciplinarian is she sympathetic is she quick is she willing to wear rubber heels is she a good worker is she accurate has she a pleasing personality has she a sense of responsibility is she patient is she courteous has she self-control is she cheerful has she a knowledge of books are her vibrations pleasant has she executive ability can she speak french german spanish italian yiddish has she social qualifications can she keep a petty cash account what are her faults mr herbert putnam librarian of congress gives the following advice to aspirants for library positions first secure the best possible general education including if possible a college course or its equivalent second acquire a reading knowledge of at least french and german third add to this training in a library school fourth if a choice must be made between the special training in a library school in a general course in a college choose the general course but make every effort to supplement this by the special course if only for a brief period fifth if an opportunity occurred for foreign travel utilize it sixth if you had not been able to contrive either thorough general education or special training your best opportunities in library work will be in a small library where your personal characteristics may be such as to offset these other deficiencies seventh without at least a fair reading knowledge of french and german you cannot progress beyond the most subordinate positions in a large library chapter 3 book selection and buying book selection makes the greatest demand on the knowledge and administrative judgment of librarians and is the question that produces the most friction between librarians and library communities if the trustees define the general policy of the library determine the amount to be expended on books and approve purchases out of the ordinary run the librarian should be considered as the one person best posted on the needs of the library and as purchasing agent for the institution should be allowed to buy where he can do so to the best advantage of course the problem is quite different in an academic library from what it is in a public library especially in the latter should the librarian be granted the utmost freedom in the selection of the general run of books we are often asked who seeks the books for purchase and how this is done says dr a.e bostwick in the annual report of the st louis public library for 1911-12 about 10 000 volumes are issued from american presses yearly not to mention those of england and other european countries of these we can purchase only about 2 000 titles of the remainder some are eliminated by the heavy cost as in the case of additions deluxe and most works intended for wealthy collectors some because of their class such as technical works on law and medicine which we are leaving to the special local libraries devoted to these subjects and some because they are obviously below standard being either untrustworthy trivial or objectionable there remains a very considerable number any one of which we might purchase but only a certain proportion of which we can buy with the funds at our disposal from these we try to select the best judging from the standpoint of a high grade public library some of the considerations that affect our decision our first public demand to which we always give heed unless it is obviously uninformed secondly a desire to strengthen our collection in weak points and thirdly expert advice oral or printed volunteered or specially asked here in st louis we are profiting by the services of numerous experts in special subjects which are freely given as a public service and we scan carefully every bit of expert testimony regarding the availability of books contained in the bulletins of other libraries and in other current lists and bibliographies trade lists and catalogs of all kinds are checked up with our own to see what we lack and the result is the assemblage of a list of wants far larger than we can purchase the final selection from these is apt to leave behind some things that we ought to buy but it is unlikely to include anything that could well have been left out considering our special conditions and needs the final word in selection rests with the committee of the board but for ordinary current purchases and unless some point involving the larger policies of selection is to be settled this committee usually allows the librarian to exercise his own judgment besides the sources of selection already mentioned books on approval are received in considerable quantities sometimes being sent voluntarily by dealers or individuals sometimes requested by the library the librarian must develop a sense of proportion and beware of the library patron with a hobby end of the trustee who is interested in building up only one side of the library and of the scholar who thinks that only solid reading for the immortal mind should be placed before old and young in buying for an average public library the aim should be to choose general treatises rather than those covering only special phrases or special subjects the special treatises would be the more desirable for a university library where they would be in demand both by faculty and students as authorities on detailed points as aids or as sources in further investigation too much money should not be locked up in expensive volumes that will be seldom used the librarian should estimate the average cost of his books per volume and except in the case of reference books should not go too far beyond this average cost he should avoid partisanship and develop catholicity of taste and breadth of sympathy he should try to have something on his shelves for every patron in town real or potential but should not allow the library to be drawn into any sectarian propagandist movement he should avoid controversial works sensationalism and the latest fad and put off the purchase of the book of the hour until he feels fairly sure that the demand for it will not die within the hour the efficient librarian does not think too much of the sum of total assessions but is mindful of the fact that it is quality not quantity that counts it doesn't matter how many but how many good books you have this was said by seneca but the same truth has been stated by many modern librarians i should as soon tell how many tons the books in the astro library weigh as to tell how many volumes there are was a sage remark of dr joseph g cogswell strength does not lie in mere numbers this fact is as true of books as of soldiers said mr w e foster one thousand carefully picked are worth two thousand assembled at random aids in book selection the chief aide in book selection for the average small public library is the ala catalog the first edition was issued in 1893 for the world's colombian exposition it was planned as a guide for book buyers as well as for readers and as a manual for librarians in the matter of book selection to a certain extent it was hoped that it would take the place of a printed catalog in some of the smaller public libraries by checking in the margin the titles of the books owned it forms a convenient partial catalog of best books for any library in 1904 a classified and annotated edition thoroughly revised and brought down to date was prepared for the st louis exposition this included 7520 volumes adapted to public libraries as contrasted with 5 000 titles included in earlier edition a supplementary class list of 3 000 titles covering the books issued between 1904 and 1911 was issued by the ala in 1912 the ala book list a guide to the best new books has just completed its ninth annual volume various state library commissions have issued helpful lists wisconsin's suggestive list of books for a small library is a good specimen the fiction catalog published by h.w wilson co minneapolis is useful as a checklist and contains many excellent titles in the same way the list of the 100 and of the 1000 best novels issued by the free library of newark new jersey are worth studying various lists of best books like sir john lobeck's famous hundred best books or dr elliott's five foot library are to be found in a pamphlet the world's best books which is to be had free of charge from the global wernicki co cincinnati for additional titles see aids in book selection by alice b kroeger and sarah w cattle ala publishing board 1908 book buying if it is desired to buy a special list of books already selected it is usually best to place the order with one of the large houses which make a specialty of library trade or with a local dealer if the proper service and discounts are assured cost of carriage may total up high enough to offset a special discount and so should be considered in comparing prices offered by two different dealers and scanning a list of books to be bought attention should be paid to number one those titles which are to be had in reinforced bindings number two titles which are to be had in special editions as in everyman's library number three titles which are to be had from dealers in remainders and are likely to be offered at bargain prices the list of editions selected for economy in book buying compiled by leroy jeffers and published by the american library association 25 cents is well worth studying the selection of books to be bought at any one time will be determined by the prices at which they can be secured and consequently it is desirable to constantly study dealer's catalogs worn copies of popular titles or copies that are loose in their bindings are not ordinarily wise purchases as they soon require rebinding and thus make the total cost exceed the first cost of a copy in reinforced binding subscription books are rarely worth anything like the money asked for them if wanted they can frequently be bought from dealers in second-hand books or from jobbers in remainders and surplus stock books should not be bought from traveling agents there are only a few publishing houses who employ them who would not supply their books through their regular channels of trade editions deluxe are now generally understood to be for looks only and library editions are frequently so called because they are for the private and not for the public library being put up in a way not warranted to withstand wear and tear a session book the accession book which corresponds to the invoice book of a business house is the first of all records to be made of a book after it has been acquired by a library the accession book aims to show the additions of each day in the exact order of their reception without classification of any kind one turns it to learn what price was paid for a book when and where it was bought how much was paid for binding it if it was bound after being acquired by the library how much was paid for replacement if lost etc each volume is entered on a separate line and secures a separate accession number by means of this number the history of any particular book can be traced the assession book is the most permanent of the library records entries cannot disappear as from a card shelf list and it is of the greatest value in case of books lost or destroyed by fire each book should be entered immediately after it is collated and found to agree with the order and bill the entries must be kept up to date in order to avoid loss and confusion an assession number should be given each separate volume giving a single accession number to a set leads to endless confusion a numbering machine will save time and help to prevent errors chapter 4 classification definition classification consists of putting like things together we do this every day and the classification of books is only one special phase of this general process thus a man who owns a hardware store does not place his goods held her skelter a stove a box of nails some saws and then a furnace but he runs over his stock and classifies it putting stoves in one place nails in another by this classification he gains two things first he can find any one thing he wants more quickly secondly he can tell how much of any one article he has on hand and so decide whether he must lay in a new supply likewise the zoologist classifies all members of the animal kingdom so that he can learn what the different kinds of animals are and study the relationship between them without the help afforded by classification he would be overwhelmed by the immense number of facts brought before him and without the aid of classification he would never have known of evolution the guiding star of modern investigation first principles in our everyday life we lose much time hunting for things which we have no definite place we have put them in the place which was most convenient for us at the moment when we put them away think for yourself how it is with your knowledge from observation from conversation from reading you learn little about many subjects like electricity botany astronomy or politics but in this desolatory way you do not learn very much about any one of these subjects therefore you do not feel any special need of classifying your information but when you take up any of these subjects and pursue it seriously you learn thousands of facts and relations and then is the time that you feel the need of some plan of arrangement of your knowledge private versus institutional libraries one has the same experience in regard to books a person having a library from 50 to 300 books does not feel the need of classifying them the ordinary arrangement is based upon size color or convenience the books in the average house are so placed as to look their best the classification as far as it exists is an aesthetic one the owner knows the exact appearance of every volume in his library and when he wants longfellow's poems he can tell at a glance where it is in a small public library there is no occasion for all the history being in one place or all poems in another as the library grows the aesthetic principle of classification can be followed until the owner can no longer readily remember how each book looks but our institutional libraries contain so many books that the librarian cannot know them in the same way that he knows the books in his own private library and consequently he has to study the question of classification and devise a method by which not only he but his assistants and also such readers as have access to the books can readily find them as wanted classification the putting of like things together would therefore mean in a large library putting histories together in one place the medical books together in another place and so with all other distinctive subjects each of these large classes will however have to be subdivided thus histories of greece are put together in one place histories of rome in another histories of the united states instill another the subdivision in the larger libraries is carried still farther and books on the period of the discovery of america are put first followed by books on the colonial period of the united states the revolutionary war etc united states history if well represented is classified geographically this process of subdivision into separate groups of books on each state can be carried still farther if necessary advantages of classification the following questions may arise what advantages come from the classification and who are benefited the advantages come to those having access to the books if one goes to a library to get a volume by arnold bennett it makes no difference to the individual whether the library is classified or not if he cannot go to the shelves and pick out the book for himself likewise if he wants young's astronomy he will probably get the book more quickly if he asks the attendant to get it than if he tries to get himself supposing he does not have access to the shelves but the time when the reader gets the most help from the classification is when he wants to examine a number of books on astronomy and can go to the shelves and find the books on the subject all in one place then he can easily find what different writers have to say about the habitability of mars or he can find what book appeals to him as being the most interesting and can borrow it for home use any investigator finds access to the shelves of a well classified library and immense help in aid to the librarian another person who is greatly benefited by the classification is the librarian and it is just as important that he be helped as that the reader be helped he is however helped in a different way he knows what the system of classification in use in the library is and with the outlines of this scheme in mind he goes through the library and finds out where it is strong and where it is weak and can plan future purchases accordingly if for example he finds on the shelves of little value on photography he will make a note of it and buy more books on that subject when funds are available if he finds that there is an undue supply of travel on hand he will note that also and buy fewer books in that class in the future without the help of classification the librarian would overlook many such irregularities in an unclassified library they would be discovered only through a long and tedious investigation his only resource would be the catalog and that is not so well adapted to answer such questions basis of classification the next question is what shall be the basis of classification it is obvious that this basis should be sought in the character of the books themselves and should be applied with constant reference to the reader and his needs in regard to the first point character of books we know that books have been written on all kinds of subjects religion law history medicine etc and that those subjects from the only rational basis for classification a classification based on these distinctions is the only one that helps the reader if a man comes to the library to investigate a particular point in medicine it is clear that it will help him if he finds all the medical books together rather than all the books grouped according to their date of purchase by the library present tendency many schemes have been devised for the classification of books some very simple others extremely elaborate the present tendency is to adopt the more elaborate classification formally most libraries were not classified at all but the books were arranged in the order in which they were received the only grouping of the books being in such cases as based on size folios in one place quartos in another in order to save shelf room assuming that the books in the library were numbered according to the date of the recession from one up to say 20 thousand it is clear that the reader could find a book by a particular writer quickly enough by looking up its number in the catalog but if he had a wish to consult 30 books on one subject it would be a very tedious operation and most readers would not take the time for it simple forms of classification the most common plan in english libraries is a modification of this scheme the books are divided into about 10 classes and the books in each class are arranged in the order in which they are received the classes are distinguished by capital letters an example said to be very common in england is as follows a theology and philosophy b history and biography c travel and typography d law politics commerce e arts and sciences f fiction g philology h poetry and drama j juvenile k miscellaneous and magazines an illustration of the way a book is marked in this scheme b2574 might be green's history of the english people this book is marked b because it is a history it is marked 2 5 7 4 because there were already two five seven three books in this class at the time this book was added this mark b two five seven four is a very simple one and to that extent satisfactory the scheme is a great advance over the preceding one because it brings the books of a kind together since there are ten classes in this scheme is evident that if a reader wishes to see all the books on one subject he will have to examine only one tenth of the library instead of the whole of it but even this is not felt to be minute enough if the library contains 200 000 volumes one class would contain on the average 20 000 volumes which is all together to create a collection to search through if green's history of the english people were marked b 2 5 7 4 the next book might be robinson's history of peru marked b b2575 which is of course a very different subject the case is still worse in class e which includes fine arts useful arts and all the sciences so that a book on chemistry might stand between a book on medicine and one on raphael this would not satisfy the reading public of today nor the modern librarian the classes f fiction and j juvenile are not so bad there is not so great a difference between the books in these classes they are used more by people seeking recreation rather than by those looking for definite titles jacob abbott wrote some 200 juvenile books and many of these might be scattered among the large class j in class f fiction the english french and german authors would be all thrown together this would be a disadvantage for anyone desiring to read along a particular line open versus closed classification the question of open versus closed classification is an important one by open classification we mean one without minut subdivisions an illustration of open classification is the scheme of ten classes described above as an extreme case of open classification mentioned may be made of the theological library in which only two classes were used the one classes containing the books that were sound in their theology the other the books that were unsound at the present time the tendency is towards close classification it is a necessity in large libraries and an advantage in small ones in this country the two great authorities on classification are charles a cutter and melville dewey both have devised and published schemes of classification which are generally recognized as having many excellent features in both schemes the classification emits of very minute subdivisions dewey says that if the library has only one book on a certain subject that book ought to be put in its own special class it does not matter if there is no other book in the class no one can fully understand what is meant by closed classification until he has had considerable experience in classifying books you can pick up the printed scheme of classification and run your eye through the numbers but you will get comparatively little from them until you try to apply them minute bibliographical classification the following is a very important distinction in regard to close classification which should be carefully noted it is one thing to classify books but it is quite a different thing to classify articles in magazines for the bibliography of a subject magazine articles may be classified far more minutely than books can be take for example the bibliographia geologica in which references are made to articles in geological magazines and publications of geological societies here the articles are classified according to dewey dewey's class 551 means physical geology in this bibliography there is a particular article marked 551 795 billion 513 million 100 111 04. that is to say the general subject of physical geology is subdivided in one trillionth parts and this article is assigned to one of those parts if one should apply for a library position and be told that he should have to classify the books as closely as this he would probably never get the position if he were given this article to classify he would just as likely as not put it 10 billion points out of the way as a matter of fact this bibliography is compiled by a number of experts in geology there are similar bibliographies of botany zoology and other natural sciences all minutely classified and all compiled by experts the reason that books cannot be as closely classified as magazine articles is that they generally deal with broader topics in the average library it does not pay to classify books more minutely than is warranted by the general run of books in the class in which these books are to be assigned in this regard a distinction must be made between libraries the library of congress has devised a classification of its own which is very minute and a number of classifiers are employed to look after the different fields in which they are more or less expert in this way classification can be carried to the extreme limit of closeness nothing keeps one more modest than classifying for one is continually brought face to face with things that one does not know and so many things of which one knows so little the dewey decimal system the decimal classification is used in this country and in europe it is suitable for both large and small collections of books and for indexing in many schemes of classification letters are used to denote the classes in others a combination of letters and figures dewey uses only figures dewey developed his system in 1873 and published it in 1876 numbers of three figures were used to denote the classes since then it has been found desirable to subdivide much more minutely and this has been done with increasing minuteness in the seven editions that have followed the one of 1876 a general outline of dewey is here given zero zero zero general works one zero zero philosophy two zero zero religion three zero zero sociology four zero zero philology five zero zero science six zero zero youthful arts seven zero zero fine arts eight zero zero literature nine zero zero history each of these is divided into ten sections five zero zero science five one zero mathematics five two zero astronomy five three zero physics five four zero chemistry five five zero geology five six zero paleontology five seven zero biology five eight zero bots me five nine zero zoology each of these is divided into ten sections five three zero physics five three one mechanics five three two hydraulics five three three pneumatics five three four sound five three five light five three six heat five three seven electricity five three eight magnetism five three nine molecular physics these sections are still further subdivided until the requisite degree of minuteness is reached the system has various pneumatic features which are helpful every figure has a meaning an alphabetical list of all these meanings is appended to the classification thus after the word hydraulics is 532 showing where to look in the classification for this subject all books on hydraulics receive the number 532 and are together on the shelves in this fact illustrates one great advantage of the dewey system that as the library grows the new books can be placed with the corresponding old ones without remarking the old ones while in the fixed location system the books are marked to certain localities and when moved by reason of growth of the library have to be remarked this remarking includes not only the books but also the cards referring to the books the remarking is very costly and very unsatisfactory in dewey's system the books in any one class are arranged according to some method in most classes an alphabetical arrangement by the names of the authors is simplest and best in some scientific classes some librarians prefer the chronological arrangement in any case it should be clear and simple relative location with a movable location all new books fall at once into their proper places like the cards which are added to a card catalog and the newcomers push the other books along on the shelf just as new cards push the others along in the drawer the consequence is that a book which is here today may be on the next shelf in a month or in the next alcove in a year and the local memory which is a great help in finding books quickly is disturbed the only remedy that i can see for this is to substitute a subject memory for a local memory to get a habit of thinking of a book as belonging to a certain class instead of as on a certain shelf a much more rational memory by the way and then to make it very easy to find the classes this last is not hard to accomplish a class memory can be cultivated and may be assisted by local memory which will find books by their position relative to other books instead of by their position relative to alcoves and shelves or doors and windows ca cutter end of chapters 2 3 and 4 of the library assistance manual by theodore w coke recording by christina bowie | Priceless Audiobooks |

our anchor versus this specific anchor verse I love it's in Isaiah chapter 55 verses 6 and 7. it says seek the Lord while he may be found call on him while he is near let the wicked forsake their ways and the unrighteous their thoughts let them turn to the Lord and He will have mercy on them how many y'all are grateful for the mercy of God for every mistake for all of our moments he will have mercy on them and to our God he will freely pardon if you take it down notes for week number five or the Difference A Day Makes today's sermon is titled all it takes is one all it takes is one let's pray we're going to jump in God I thank you for ears to hear you God we don't want to just go through the motions we're not just playing Church on this last weekend of April I thank you Lord God for the 12 folks that gave their life to you last night at our services those today that will be impacted by your presence across all of our campus this is specifically this one right now I pray that you would meet us where we're at gonna be serious to hear you mind I understand most importantly we are postured in a position of expectation with a heart to receive if you believe it say Amen you never know the difference a day makes there's 24 hours in a day 1440 minutes in a day 86 400 seconds in each and every day how are you spending it our lives are made up of a series of moments every day a moment is a domino effect to the next one and just one moment can change everything I remember when Jackie and I we finally were like okay we're gonna do this like we're gonna are we dating are we official are we gonna get engaged like she's like put a ring on the finger okay like if you like it then you should have put a ring on it and so uh I was feeling uh a little awkward about the future because I was still living with Mom and Dad and I said to my parents like I feel this nudge that I need to find a place of my own but y'all my money was super funny like things were not exactly working out like I had hoped and I stopped at this new coffee shop we were living in Tulsa this is post college and I'm living in Tulsa trying to figure out uh how to get to what's next God had spoken to me he gave me the direction without all the details I stopped at this new coffee shop and they hands down had the worst worst coffee I'd ever had I'm a coffee uh kind of sore coffee is my favorite color and so I stopped and I was like this is not gonna work I've been invited to Maxwell's house and I'm super disappointed like this is not this is not great coffee but on my way out there's this uh gentleman from England who's talking real loud and I I didn't mean to overhear I wasn't trying to eavesdrop but I heard him say no it's crazy man I've got to move back to England now now forgive me this is going to be like a blend of Australian England and Scottish so if offend any of our beautiful culture of folks that blend into all of that but he's like if somebody just give me a little bit of this down payment they can assume the note and I can walk away so I walked by and I heard him say it and as I walked out I heard the Lord say I sent you here for that moment so this is awkward so I'm like walk back in I'm like hey hey guys I said I'm so sorry I uh uh kind of was eavesdropping I apologize she said do what were you doing it man I was like oh I'm not gonna end up fighting this guy instead and I said I heard I overheard you talk about how you're you're moving back to England said yeah I'm moving in a week and I have to have somebody take over my house and I said well what does that look like and he told me how much the payment was down and at that time I had like 86 dollars in my account so I'm like so I'm only like 19 000. 914 short like I could if I could figure out how to I could sell these shoes like what am I gonna do and so I'm real confident because I got a big God I said how long until you so tell me about the house he says right over here if you want to see it we drive over and I literally it that moment I'm like I could see a glimpse of what Jackie and I's future is going to start out like and I'm looking at this house and and I'm picturing me Mowing and I'm picturing all this stuff and I never did I never mode no we'll pause there so I I'm talking to him and he's like you think he can do it I was like oh yeah listen can I post data check like is it and I said so when do you need this money by I said three days and I said it's three days in England the same as seven to ten days and I'm if you say three days does that mean 12 days here like it's like dog years like yeah actually three days is like a month and he's like three days mate or you can't have the house once again I just switched it up again that's Irish that was Irish I apologize this is I'm gonna get in the word somebody are like this is if you're new here I'm gonna get into the Bible just give me a second and I made a few calls I talked to some family members and they were like Hey we're gonna hook our faith up y'all on the third day I get a phone call from a family friend who said man I've been praying for you and the Lord asked me to call you is there anything I can do for you I begin to talk to him and he said hey I'm not even gonna I'm not only gonna hook my faith up with you I'm gonna loan you the money you can have the moment alone this to you so that you guys can buy this house that moment of me over hearing Peppa Pig's father speaking because that's what he sounded like that's what he sounded like at that moment that was it changed everything we were able to buy the house then the gentleman called us after we closed and said hey uh instead of it being alone I'm just gonna bless you guys guys it's a wedding gift you don't even have to y'all the difference the day makes we were able to sell that house by the next house and it became a domino effect at that point the Difference A Day Makes moments well it takes a moment for me the day I asked Jesus in my heart Romans 10 verse 9 and 10 I confessed with my mouth and believed in my heart that he was Lord the moment that he transformed my life was the most significant moment ever it changed everything on July 10 2004 I married the woman of my dreams I convinced her that I had money it wasn't my looks I was like what's up girl but I played an acoustic guitar and I sang like John B so it worked out almost 19 years later and four kids another significant moment we have moments moments that we live by and then we have moments that you can't help but laugh at like we have heavy moments and life-giving life-changing moments promise we're gonna get in the Bible have another story real quick uh we were in the midwest I was leading worship at this church and uh these moments are amazing I need these moments we need these moments y'all Nehemiah 10 says the joy the Lord is your listen if you haven't laughed in a while I believe you're going to get your joy back today y'all like Stella Got Her Groove Back you're going to get your joy back amen some of y'all need to get your joy back you need to laugh a little bit all right so uh we went to the Midwest and we're leading worship with this this church and uh every person that was coming in for every person that came here I watched this guy walk in he walked in with a golden retriever I was like oh that's cool and then I watched the lady walk in and she had like a little little carrier with a cat in it I was like okay and then a guy walked in with a bird cage and a bird I'm like this is I don't know if it's like a flea market pet sale I don't know what's happened and then a lady walked in with a large rabbit you know what I'm talking about like the big like the larger like it has a human-sized head rabbit this is a true story for every person that was in the room there was also an animal it's like 400 people and 400 animals and afterwards I asked the pastor I was like what's this is a wild moment I said what's the deal with all the animals you should let everything that has breath praise the Lord I was like but what about allergies like what about the guy who's allergic to the guinea pigs like but it was a funny moment look at the person next to me and said we're talking about moments talking about moments some of you are like are we gonna start doing that because I got a Labradoodle I want to bring I believe that moments shape and change the trajectory if you read throughout the Bible even the day that we had our first son I can't tell you what we had eaten the night before I can't tell you what I had for breakfast what I remember is the moment the moment that I heard him cry the moment that I looked at my wife and said he did great babe these are moments that shape and Define you last week we talked about David he was a man of wealth status and power a man who was after God's heart who led a nation into its best years of History we read about how there was a great distance between the moment he was anointed and becoming the king that the prophet Samuel stops at David's father Jesse's house passes on all seven of his brothers but takes a boy who was in the middle of the field the obscurity of the field Shepherd boy it was being prepared and ready by God to become king we love the story but it took 13 years from the moment he was anointed until he stepped into the office of King he saw God's faithfulness we saw his hand moving and it's amazing what happens when we lean into his presence and we lean into the moments so this week I want to look at a story if you're a student of the Bible if you've been around church for any amount of time you know this story I want to look at the story of the woman at the well in John chapter 4 we're going to start in verse one now we're a Bible Foundation church so we're going to have it on the screens you can take pictures if you want I encourage you to go back and read the whole passage but we're going to read 25 verses here and I believe the foundation of this is is fascinating Jesus starting in verse 1 knew the Pharisees had heard that he was baptizing and making more disciples than John verse two although Jesus himself didn't baptize them his disciples did now Paul's that's amazing Jesus knew that if I can raise up those who carry healing in their hands and I can raise those up they will go and tell of my father's work this thing will become a domino effect of moments Jackie and I showed up yesterday to the serve project there were people that our team that y'all interacted with talked with hugged loved on gave things to that we never even got a chance to meet that's the beauty of the Gospel that's the beauty of the good news it's contagious so Jesus verse 3 leaves to go to Judea return to Galilee verse 4 he had to go through Samaria on the way eventually he came to a Samaritan Village called sakar near the field that Jacob gave to his son Joseph Jacob's Well was there and Jesus tired from The Long Walk sat weirdly beside the well about noon time verse 7 a Samaritan woman came to draw water and Jesus said to her please give me a drink he was alone at the time because his disciples had gone into the village by some Whataburger verse 9 the woman was surprised for Jews refused to have anything to do with the Samaritans Jesus she said to Jesus you're a Jew I'm a Samaritan woman why are you asking me for a drink she was a little Punchy okay verse 10 Jesus replied if you only knew the gift God has for you and who you are speaking to you would ask me and I would give you living water I love this verse 11 but sir you don't have a rope you don't have a bucket she said this Well's very deep where would you get this living water like I can just imagine this interaction and besides she says do you think you're greater than our ancestor Jacob who gave us this well how can you offer better water than he and his sons and his animals have enjoyed Jesus replied anyone who drinks this water will soon be thirsty again she is I don't have you ever heard of water with electrolytes yeah but verse 14. but those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again it becomes a fresh bubbling spring within them giving them eternal life Jesus is articulating to this woman hey what you have been searching for now yes there's this physical water that quenches thirst but what he's literally unpacking for her is the gift of salvation please sir the woman said give me this water that I'll never be thirsty again and I won't have to come back here to get any water Jesus this is where he's just amazing verse 16 he says well go get your husband Jesus told her she said I don't have a husband the woman replied Jesus said you're right you don't have a husband for you have had five husbands and you aren't even married to the man you're living with now you certainly spoke the truth sir the woman said you must be a prophet then Jesus unpacks a few more things and gets to verse 23 and says the time is coming and indeed it's here now when the worshipers true worshipers will worship the father in spirit and in truth the father is looking for those who will worship him that way for God is spirit and those who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth real quick how many all Love to Worship the Lord in spirit and in truth come on I've unpacked this before but to Worship the Lord in spirit and in truth is a pure innocent authentic expression of your faith your trust in your heart in God has nothing to do with your ability to sing on key that should free some of you up we can hear you singing come again some of you are like come again and you're recreating your own Melodies and God loves the person next to you next to you okay Make a Joyful Noise amen maybe inside voice Joyful Noise but no listen sing from the top of your lungs I've said this before don't judge somebody's passion until you know their past when they're singing out loud and worshiping their expressive way you don't know what they've been through Jesus is expressing hey it's not about your gifting your talents you bring your authentic expression of your faith and trust that's the way God receives worship the woman said I know the Messiah is coming the one who has called Christ can you imagine she's literally sitting there talking to Jesus Christ she said I know he's going to be coming the one who is called Christ when he comes he will explain everything to us then Jesus told her I am the Messiah everything begin to shift in her life we're going to unpack her journey a little bit more but verse 39 many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said watch this he told me everything I ever did when they came out to see him They begged him to stay in their Village so Jesus stayed for two days long enough for many more to hear his message and believe and they said to the woman now we believe not just because of what you've told us but because we heard from him ourselves now we know he indeed is the savior of the world I love the testimony revelation 12 11 talks about how the blood of the Lamb is the word of Our Testimony that's why I say all the time share your story whether it's squeaky clean and perfect and Polished and you're like I'm literally I've never done anything wrong I only watch Christian films listen to Christian music amazing tell your story or maybe you're the opposite you're like oh you don't know my journey I found a dead body in a Motel 6 pool you're like wow that's very specific tell your story she was going all over the Samaritan region and saying he told me every thing I ever did so here's a question what do you do in your Humanity when someone calls you out your community a family member a friend a loved one a spouse even a pastor a spiritual leader you get all puffed up like you don't know me she could have done that when Jesus said I get it you're not married you've actually been married five times and the man you're living with now is not your husband you don't know me who are you and your Shepherd Crocs you don't know me no do you get puffed up when somebody says hey I see you I I see what you've done I see where you've been do you get angry do you push them away do you get Petty how do you respond when someone in your life who loves you who you have accountability with or trust Equity with checks you before you wreck yourself I'm serious because this has become a massive issue this whole story could have gone the opposite she could have said I bid you farewell and you're a weird living water analogy I'm out now instead she was intrigued because he was prophetically speaking to the core of her soul he was speaking to the depths of her being you've been broken you've been running you've been hiding you've been compartmentalizing your pain so how do you react I want to I want to talk real quick I wasn't going to do this but I felt led as I was putting my notes together if you identify as Petty if you frequently participate in Petty Behavior unfortunately you're not a safe place people that struggle with this you would say well I'm just Petty that's just the way it is what you're saying is I'm actually wounded and I'm refusing to heal so the reality is if because when you're Petty or you're struggling what you end up doing is saying the moment I decide that I have a reason to be offended by you I'm also going to do my best to make sure you're just as wounded as I am so being petty isn't a badge of honor it's actually a warning sign too look at the person next to you said don't be Petty come on don't be Petty that was free again healthy people healthy people help people heal healthy people help other people get healthy and we're all a work in progress that's why I talk about telling your story because you can say listen I'm not where I want to be but I'm a work in progress and I'm in the process of preparation for more because he's qualified me for more but let me tell you how far I've come and where I'm going and if God brought me from there to here he can help you get from here to there look at the person next to you say Tell Your Story come on tell your story healthy people help other people get healthy so I want to break this verse down this passage of verses for another few moments John chapter 4 and the 16th verse Jesus Took the initiative in leading the woman to recognize who he who he was by referring to her personal life he spoke into the depth of her heart but also showing her hey I see you verse 17 the woman responds with a little bit of a deceptive answer as a reaction against further questioning people are really good about deviating it's like did you do this like well that's one of our kids like hey did you guys eat this snack to find snack like when you say a snack do you mean a cheese stick wrapped in a piece of honey barbecue chicken didn't find that no are you are you do you have the ability to deviate she was deviating because she didn't want further questioning Verse 18 Jesus uses her answer to bring light to her struggles verses 19 through 21 he begins to talk about the the broken areas in her life that need to come to light the woman is now presented with a choice will you come to the light or will you shrink back into the chaos the darkness the broken places that you've been self-medicating with other broken relationships and other toxicity will you shrink back verse 19 I love this it says that the woman another translation says that she comes to the light Jesus then explains in verse 24 1-24 what true worship looks like and how she can come literally duct tape's super glued and just pieced back together into the presence of God and worship him in spirit and in truth and in verse 25 and 26 the woman finally recognizes who Jesus is as he confirms and affirms I am the Messiah the story of the woman at the well is one of the most iconic Encounters in the Bible because around noon just to give you some context we don't know a lot about this woman but some of the key facts are her name was never revealed she was a female Samaritan race whom Jews do not associate with has all these struggles in her personal relationship and they used to gather as a social gathering around noon sorry in the mid-afternoon she would gather because that's when they would all gather and have like a social interaction but she deviated from that and went at noon the hottest part of the day because she wanted to avoid conflict she wanted to avoid questioning she wanted to avoid people that were going to pass judgment and shame on her some of you are like I get it stay away from Nancy at work she's always no no she wanted to stay away so the hottest part of the day he shows up because she knew she would be isolated and here she meets Jesus who also stopped at the hottest part of the day just picture picture what's coming y'all we're about to enter back in heat of Houston somebody asked me this week we read this conference and they said why do you why are you in Houston it's so hot I said It reminds me to tell people about Jesus because it's a glimpse of how hot hell the essentially it's gonna be a position historically though in culturally they would gather but she and her posture indicated that she was a social outcast I love that Jesus would go out of his way I love that the god the creator of all things who told the stars were to go the moon the Sun the galaxies he created the ocean and told it where to start and where to stop y'all he is a personal God he's personal enough to go out of his way to Stop In the Heat of the day to call you by name what a beautiful display of his love that he knows you by name elbow the person next to him saying knows you by name and we saw all throughout this series of verses that he goes out of his way why because he's a good good father the Bible says he's closer than a brother he's a consistent friend who listens and he's been chasing after you maybe you've been running maybe you were like those two dear brothers post Jesus's death on the road to Emmaus that were running and walking away from what they had been told because the truth seemed to have Fallen apart and Jesus meets up with him maybe you've been running I've got great news for you he's been chasing after you I've said it before he's one mention of his name away no matter how far away you've been yeah I get it I get a preacher guy in your fancy pants like are those Jackies this room do they make those in men's that's amazing stop it sure it's really flowy it's just one mention of his name away from being right there but you don't know what I've done he does and he still chooses you the Bible says in Psalms 23 6 surely his goodness and unfailing love will pursue you all the days of your life the message translation says he chases after you I can only imagine what that looks like like a dad pursuing a daughter or a son will live in the house of the Lord forever so number one if you're taking down notes he is The God Who pursues that's great news he's The God Who pursues some scholars believe that the woman again in this story went there at noon to avoid all the others because it was easy for her to come compartmentalize all her pain stay away from future interactions that would cause her to become more wounded she was dipping in a well getting away from the noise of everything that she had caused so here's my question for you what well are you dipping into when no one's around what area of your life or maybe you self-medicating and maybe it's busyness maybe it's a late night habit a pattern that you seem stuck in a weekend pattern or a lifestyle that you're like oh just keep going back and gravitating towards this I love this quote from a friend of mine can only ever be loved to the extent that you're known so many of us wear masks and when we get home we take off the masks some of you they take off the eyelashes they got the weave I told Jackie I said I don't have any regrets but I wish when we officially moved to Texas because we got here as fast as possible she her roots are from here I said I wish I would have established myself with a cool accent and I've watched all kinds of tutorials on YouTube of those dudes that glue the hair on can you imagine I'm just like Keith Urban up here but you take off a mask and you say to yourselves yeah I have to keep wearing the mask because people love the mask they don't love me they love the version I show them but they don't love me if they knew who I was what I've done the choices I've made they would leave so I just keep wearing the mask so oftentimes we walk around lonely feeling unloved we consider hiding and continuing to hide our sin nature our trade that we consider unlovable not allowing ourselves to be known fully and we continue to compartmentalize our experiences this is why we believe in accountability so much here at Hope City because when you open that door to transparency you will be met with the truth but you'll also be met with growth the Bible says in Proverbs 27 17 iron sharpens iron so one friend sharpens a friend can't stress this enough if you're not in a group wave at me if you're in a group I want to encourage you this semester is coming to a close but we continue with Summer groups so if you stick around we have a group for you and I want to encourage you when the next semester starts if you've never gone through Freedom if you've gone through Freedom Make Some Noise come on show them freedom is a game changer it begins to peel back the layers here's what ends up happening more transparent authentic you are the more growth you find yourself in because we're always dealing with real versus counterfeit always real versus counterfeit there's always an option to go the fake route there's always an option to say yeah I'm gonna put the filter on with freckles I'm going to put it on because I want everybody to think that I have freckles when I do this Instagram they're like that's crazy where's your freckles you're like oh I forgot to draw them on and if you do draw freckles on own them you know what I'm saying just own it that's awesome but real versus fake I was on a flight true star I was on a flight and uh they were passing out flights and they are passing out snacks and they gave us these little little you know little tiny containers of Pringles just enough and so I'm you know open it up and the lady next to me is like and I'm like I was going on she's like I don't even like the smell of those and I said why she's like because they're not real potato chips and I said oh okay and she's like there are potato crisps it's kind of like Kentucky Fried Chicken it's Kentucky Fried we don't know what I would never eat those I only eat the real things and I said I was in this and she's like well there's like soy and corn and wheat and maybe potato that's why they're potato crisps they're not the real thing those aren't potato chips and I said well I kind of deduce that because they're oddly shaped stacked like Legos in a little tube and they look like little saddles like kind of assumed that they were not potato chips she's like well I wouldn't eat those and as she put a strawberry Starburst in her mouth I said that's not a real strawberry my drop we constantly deal with real and fake I had a friend tell me man I got these Amazing shoes overseas they're knockoffs you can't tell the difference I said really I said get them wet they'll discolor and melt like cotton candy so he shows up like these aren't even fake oh and I was like yeah they are he's like no they're not and he realized very quickly when he put them next to the real thing you could tell plus they said Mikey instead of Nike so I'm so listen I know times are tough if you rock the knockoffs Own It Rock the Mikey's look at the person next to you and say rock the mic he's come on Rock them Rock the Mikey's so the woman is a well she's dealing with all this counterfeit self-medicated healing she encounters the real thing the woman at the well her lifestyle felt real her love felt legitimate until Jesus's love showed up and it was the real thing she encountered the real thing the Agape unconditional unwavering unfailing love that moment changed everything because y'all when Jesus enters the room we have a choice we are faced with a choice so number two we have a choice to respond we have a choice to respond he is The God Who pursues but we have a choice to respond don't pass on it don't miss the moment one day you're going to look back and be very grateful that you decided to go God's way instead of yours y'all are grateful that you've gone God's way you said I decided to take God's way but let's be honest I mean some decided sometimes it goes your own path how did that turn out you end up going back because you're like oh your way is so much better Joshua 24 verse 15 it says choose this day whom you will serve we're all going to serve something the pursuit of money climbing the corporate ladder accolades pats on the back we're all going to serve something or someone Joshua says choose this day whom you will serve is he your priority the lady didn't know that she could experience life changing Living Water until she encountered the real thing you encounter Jesus we're always faced with a either you go his way or you go your own way but when we choose him we discover and we've all discovered his way is so much better and when you've chosen him then we have this obligation because he's the god that pursues we have a choice to respond we have this obligation and responsibility number three to pass it on I tell everybody about Jesus I share this often but I talk to people about Jesus all the time why because the night and day difference he's made in me yes there's still broken moments and things I'm in process of being healed from but I can't help but get in the way of somebody's storm and say hey it's you he loves you he's not mad at you he's madly in love with you this first has been my Anthem if you've been around hope City for any amount of time you know how much I love First Peter chapter 2 verses 9 and 10 you're the ones chosen by God come on say it out loud I'm chosen it says chosen for the High Calling of Priestly work now Paul's it doesn't mean you have to have a microphone it doesn't mean you ever have to preach but your life speaks more who you are and who Christ is in and through you people will read your life statistically more than they'll read the Bible there's something different about her when he walks in the room I just feel fear dissipate we're all called chosen to be a holy people God's instruments to do his work to speak out for him that's to pass it on to tell others the night and day difference he's made in you from nothing to something from rejected to accepted the Bible says in Ephesians 5 8 and this was what happened to the woman at the well who found herself compartmentalizing her pain dealing with all kinds of broken moments and things hidden in the darkness Ephesians 5 8 says for once you were full of Darkness but now you have the light from the Lord so live people of the light live as people of the light I remember I had a moment in high school that defined me it marked my entire life I had an encounter with Jesus my senior year where I made a choice in that moment to realign my heart to the heart of God it was not just my parents saying you need to be in church you better read your Bible you should probably pray it actually became real to me and y'all I I was on fire like it was an Acts 2 Breath of God moment where I felt filled up with the spirit of God and what filled spills so I'm walking down the hallway of our school there's kids everywhere folks everywhere and we had a huge game we had just played we're about to go into the semifinals basketball and the night before your boy hit five threes come on somebody and so we're excited we're about to go into this game and I'm telling everybody going to the game you're going to the game what's up you're going to the game you're going to the game and I put my hand on this guy's shoulder and he spins around like I was gonna hit him he's like and I said whoa take it easy I said what you good bro he's like yeah what's up so you're going to the game tonight and he said no so what are you talking about I want to semifinals this is a big game I'm gonna put 40 up actually score 43 it was career high it's a true story true story that's seven threes Edwin no I got the flick of the wrist you know it sit back there with your diamond earrings you better watch watch it Edwin so I invite him to the game he said I've never been to a game I said are you new here he said I I've been in school with you since we were 13. I said what's up my guy like and recognize him because I've been so consumed by Me Myself and I I hadn't let my light shine I ended up inviting this guy to the game y'all he ends up one of the funniest guys I'd ever met he ends up hanging with us the rest of our senior year I mean hilarious quick-witted at another level we're all like where's this dude been everybody's like I think he just transferred here I was like no guys we've known him two years go by Jackie and I are married we're walking through this mall called Woodlands Woodland Hills Mall in Tulsa this dude walks up with kind of a beard I say kind of a beard because he had a lot of hair but he kind of had a beard this is a beard he had a lot of hair and so he's like Daniel Groves I was like hey you you know what like you don't know I was like you what's up guy like and this is what he said to me watch this man I want to tell you you saved my life I don't recognize him change lives pretty Jack looks like he got involved in CrossFit and Jackie's like oh that's that's precious it's a heavy statement I said it saved your life wow man that's it's a loaded statement I'm I'm literally going I'm going back to like 15 16 I mean doing lifeguard training I was like do you PR on this guy that I didn't do mouth to mouth like what's happening what is and I said I say I say I saved your life he tells me the story I just told you from his perspective he said I'm standing at my locker ghost no one knows you're here no one will care when you're gone and as I'm saying that I felt you touch my shoulder and I turned around and I thought you were going to hit me and you said bro why'd you Flinch and you invited me to a game and what you didn't know was that morning I wrote a goodbye letter to my mom my Dad ran out my whole life was falling apart I was going to take my life because my mom was going to work late I was going home to end it all isolation you got in the way of storm you got in the way and you showed me that I had a purpose that just by inviting me to the game made me feel seen I just want you to know I went home and tore the letter up I hugged my mom and said I'm gonna become somebody he's down the first guy in my family to graduate college I'm on fire for God I'm involved in my church all because you put your hand on my shoulder told me a mattered that I was seen I just said no one sees me [Music] because God pursued me I decided to start pursuing others we can pursue people we can present a choice to people because y'all again healthy people help people we get in the way of people's storms so this final week of the difference a day makes all it takes is one moment it took one encounter with Jesus to change everything in my life to get my attention and focus off of me thank God put my hand on his shoulder and I invited him to a game how many people do we walk by every single day you were once in darkness but now you have the light of God in you so choose to walk Children of the light all it takes is one encounter and your lowest place one encounter at a coffee shop with a stranger to change the trajectory of Jack and I's future one encounter in a church service to walk out healed all it takes is one one encounter with a woman in the serial aisle for my mom to see that she's not far from Hope one encounter it's one every I'd close just for a moment because it just takes one response if the holy spirit is maybe nudging your heart right now all it takes is one decision everything to change we don't pray prayers for symbolic reasons pray because according to Romans 10 verse 9 and 10. confess with our mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in our heart and he will change everything just a moment we're going to go back into a time of worship for just a few moments so I'm just going to ask that nobody leaves I believe that today the light of God is going to become more bright in our lives and there's some things that we can let go of because just like the woman at the well she witnessed the faithfulness of a savior you're here today and I'm going to count to three I'm not going to be long if you're at Woodlands Katie watching online if you're watching online just say yes our team will help you if you're in the room at West Houston if you're across one of our other locations watch parties in Tanzania and you would say Daniel I don't know Jesus as my savior but I want to one I want to give my life to Jesus for the very first time when I hit three I Want You To Boldly say you're talking about me too I want to rededicate my life the truth is I've witnessed this faithfulness but I found myself putting myself in a position like the woman at the well in the hottest part of the day going by myself is a fine compartmentalizing my pain keeps shame pushed away today I want to just let go of it I no longer want to compartmentalize this pain I want to put it in the hands of a father who can heal me too I want to rededicate my life three if you're either one of those two imitations would you lift up your hand I see you once you I see you three I see you four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen I see you I see you I see you come on come on Hope City can we give God praise for our 13 friends that said you're talking about me today you can put your hands down I want everybody to say this out loud say Jesus it's me I've been living for me but from today on making a choice to live for you I'm no longer gonna compartmentalize my pain but I'm gonna freely surrender it and all my shame thank you for hanging on the cross for my life even though I didn't deserve it you did it because I was worth it from this moment on I Choose You thank you for choosing me you're my father you're my savior you're my Lord in Jesus name amen come on Hope City can we give God praise let's go | Hope City | UCxbDm8PxatIczDqMqc5qu4g | 2023-05-01 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en |

EJYKIiQtlJM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EJYKIiQtlJM | Chapter 5 (Part 1) from The Sane Society by Erich Fromm | the same society by eric from this is chapter five which i'm doing in three parts so this is part one man in capitalistic society the social character mental health cannot be discussed meaningfully as an abstract quality of abstract people if we are to discuss now the state of mental health in contemporary western man and if we are to consider what factors in his mode of life make for insanity and what others are conducive to sanity we have to study the influence of the specific conditions of our mode of production and of our social and political organization on the nature of man we have to arrive at a picture of the personality of the average man living and working under these conditions only if we can arrive at such a picture of the social character tentative and incomplete as it may be do we have a basis on which to judge the mental health and sanity of modern people or of modern man what is meant by social character i refer in this concept to the nucleus of the character structure which is shared by most members of the same culture in contra distinction to the individual character in which people belonging to the same culture differ from each other the concept of social character is not a statistical concept in the sense that it's simply that it is sorry that it is simply the sum total of character traits to be found in the majority of people in a given culture it can be understood only in reference to the function of the social character which we shall now proceed to discuss each society is structuralized and operates in certain ways which are necessitated by a number of objective condition conditions these conditions include methods of production and distribution which in turn depend on raw materials industrial techniques climate size of population and political and geographical factors cultural traditions and influences to which society is exposed there is no society in general but only specific social structures which operate in different and ascertainable ways although these social structures do change in the course of historical development they are rel they are relatively fixed at any given historical period and society can exist only by operating within the framework of its particular structure the members of the society and or the various classes or status groups within it have to behave in such a way as to be able to function in the sense required by the social system it is the function of the social character to shape the energies of the members of society in such a way that their behavior is not a matter of conscious decision as to whether or not to follow the social pattern but one of wanting to act as they have to act and at the same time finding gratification and acting according to the requirements of the culture in other words it is the social character's function to mold and channel human energy within a given society for the purpose of the continued functioning of this society modern industrial society for instance could not have attained its ends had it not harnessed the energy of free men for work in an unprecedented degree man had to be molded into a person who was eager to spend most of his energy for the purpose of work who acquired discipline particularly orderliness and punctuality to a degree unknown in most other cultures it would not have sufficed if each individual had to make up his mind consciously every day that he wanted to work to be on time etc since any such conscious deliberation would lead to many more exceptions than the smooth functioning of society can afford nor would threat and force have sufficed as a motive since the highly differentiated tasks in modern industrial society can in the long run only be the work of free men and not of forced labor the necessity for work for punctuality and orderliness had to be transformed into an inner drive for these aims this means that society had to produce a social character in which these strivings were inherent the genesis of the social character cannot be understood by referring to one single cause but by understanding the interaction of sociological and ideological factors and as much as economic factors are less easily changeable they have a certain predominance in this interplay this does not mean that that the drive for material gain is the only or even the most powerful motivating force in man it does mean that the individual and society are primarily concerned with the task of survival and that only when survival is secured can they proceed to the satisfaction of other imperative human needs the task of survival implies that man has to produce that is he has to secure the minimum of food and shelter necessary for for survival and the tools needed for even the most rudimentary processes of production the method of production in turn determines the social relations existing in a given society it determines the mode and practice of life however religious political and philosophical ideas are not purely secondary projective systems while they are rooted in the social character they in turn also determine systematize and stabilize the social character let me state again in speaking of the socio-economic structure of society as molding man's character we speak only of one pole in the interconnection between social organization and man the other poll to be considered is man's nature molding in turn the social conditions in which he lives the social process can be understood only if we start out with the knowledge of the reality of man his psychic properties as well as his physiological ones and if we examine the interaction between the nature of man and the nature of the external conditions under which he lives and which he has to master if he is to survive if he is to survive while it while it is true that man can adapt himself to almost any conditions he is not a blank sheet of paper on which culture writes its text needs like the striving for happiness harmony love and freedom are inherent in his nature they are also dynamic factors in the historical process which if frustrated tend to arouse psychic reactions ultimately creating the very conditions suited to the original strivings as long as the objective conditions of the society and the culture remains stable the social character has a predominantly stabilizing function if the external conditions change in such a way that they do not fit anymore with the traditional social character a log arises which often changes the function of character into an element of disintegration instead of stabilization into dynamite instead of a social mortar as it were provided this concept of the genesis and function of the social character is correct we are confronted with a puzzling problem is not the assumption that the character structure is molded by the role which the individual has to play in his culture contradicted by the assumption that a person's character is molded in his childhood can both views pretend to be true in view of the fact that the child in his early years of life has comparatively little contact with society as such uh i don't think that's true this question is not as difficult to answer as it may seem at first glance we must differentiate between the factors which are responsible for the particular contents of the social character and the methods by which the social character is produced the structure of society and the function of the individual in the social structure may be considered to determine the content of the social character the family on the other hand may be considered to be the psychic agency of society the institution which has the function of transmitting the requirements of society to the growing child the family fulfills this function in two ways first and this is the most important factor by the influence the character of the parents has on the character formation of the growing child since the character of most parents is an expression of the social character they transmit in this way the essential features of the socially desirable character structure to the child the parent's love and happiness are communicated to the child as well as their anxiety or hostility in addition to the character of the parents the methods of childhood training which are customary in a culture also have the function of molding the character of the child in a socially desirable direction there are various methods and techniques of child training which can fulfill the same end and on the other hand there can be methods which seem identical but which nevertheless are different because of the character structure of those who practice these methods by focusing on methods of child training we can never explain the social character methods of child training are significant only as a mechanism of transmission and they can be understood correctly only if we understand first what kinds of personalities are desirable and necessary in any given culture the problem then of the socioeconomic conditions in modern industrial society which create the personality of modern western man and are responsible for the disturbances in his mental health require an understanding of those elements specific to the capitalistic mode of production of an inquisitive society in an industrial age sketchy and elementary is such a description by a non-economist must necessarily be i hope it is never less sufficient to form the basis for the following analysis of the social character of man in present-day western society the structure of capitalism and the character of man a 17th and 18th century capitalism the economic system which has become dominant in the west since the 17th and 18th centuries it is is capitalism in spite of great changes which have occurred within this system there are certain features which have endured throughout its history and with reference to these common features it is legitimate to use the concept of capitalism for the economic system existing throughout the whole this whole period briefly these common features are one the existence of politically and legally free men two the fact that free men workers and employees sell their labor to the owner of capital on the labor market by contrast three the existence of the commodity market as a mechanism by which prices are determined and the exchange of the social product is regulated for the principle that each individual acts with the aim of seeking a profit for himself and yet that by the competitive action of many the greatest advantage is supposed to accrue for all while these features are common capitalism throughout the last few centuries the changes within this period are as important as are the similarities while we are most concerned in our analysis with the impact of the contemporary socioeconomic structure on man we shall at least briefly discuss the features of 17th and 18th century capitalism and those of 19th century capitalism which are different from the development of society and man in the 20th century speaking of the 17th and 18th centuries two aspects must be mentioned which characterize this early period of capitalism first that technique and industry were in the beginning compared with the development in the 19th and 20th centuries and second that at the same time the practices and ideas of medieval culture still had a considerable influence on the economic practices of this period thus it was supposed to be unchristian and unethical for one merchant to try to lure customers from another by force of lower prices or any other inducements in the fifth edition of the complete english tradesman 1745 it is stated that since the death of the author defoe in 1731 this underselling practice has grown to such a shameful height that particular persons publicly advertise that they undersell the rest of the trade the complete english tradesman 5th edition cites a concrete case in which an overgrown tradesman who had more money than his competitors and thus was not forced to use credit bought his wares directly from their producer transported them himself instead of through a middleman and sold them directly to the retailer thus enabling the latter to sell the material for one penny cheaper per yard the comment of the complete tradesman is that the result of this whole method is only to enrich this covetous man and to enable another man to buy his cloth a little cheaper a very small advantage which is in no relation to the damage done to the to or done to the other businessmen we find similar prohibitions against underselling in ordinances in germany and france throughout the whole 18th century it is well known how skeptical people were in that period toward new machines and as much as they threatened to take away work from man colbert called them the enemy of labor and montesquiou says esprit de la that machines which diminish the numbers of workers are pernicious the various attitudes just mentioned are based on principles which had determined the life of man for many centuries most important of all was the principle that society and economy exist from man and not man for them no economic progress was supposed to be healthy if it hurt any group within the society needless to say this concept was closely related to traditionalist thoughts and so much as the traditional social balance was to be preserved and any disturbance was believed to be harmful b 19th century capitalism in the 19th century the traditionalistic attitude of the 18th of the 18th changes first slowly and then rapidly the living human being with his desires and woes loses more and more his central place in the system and this place is occupied by business and production man ceases to be the measure of all things in the economic sphere the most characteristic element of 19th century capitalism was first of all ruthless exploitation of the worker it was believed to be a natural or social law that hundreds of thousands of workers were living at the point of starvation the owner of capital was supposed to be morally right if in the pursuit of profit he exploited it to the maximum the labor he hired there was hardly any sense of human solidarity between the owner of capital and his workers the law of the economic jungle was supreme all the restrictive ideas of previous centuries were left behind one seeks out the customer tries to undersell one's competitor and the competitive fight against equals is as ruthless and unrestricted as the exploitation of the worker with the use of the steam engine division of labor grows and so does the size of enterprises the capitalistic principle that each one seeks his own profit and thus contributes to the happiness of all becomes the the guiding principle of human behavior the market as the prime regulator is freed from all traditional restrictive elements and comes fully into its own in the 19th century while everybody believes himself to act according to his own interest he is actually determined by the anonymous laws of the market and of the economic machine the individual capitalist expands his enterprise not primarily because he wants to but but because he has to because as carnegie said in his autobiography postponement further expansion would mean regression actually as a business grows one has to continue making it bigger whether one wants to or not in this function of the economic law which operates behind the back of man and forces him to do things without giving him the freedom to decide we see the beginning of a constellation which comes to its fruition only in the 20th century in our time it is not only the law of the market which has its own life and rules over man but also the development of science and technique for a number of reasons the problems in organization of science today are such that a scientist does not choose his problems the problems force themselves upon the scientist he solves one problem and the result is not that he is more secure or certain but that 10 other new problems open up in place of the single solved one they force him to solve them he has to go ahead at an ever quickening pace the same holds true for industrial techniques the pace of science forces the pace of technique theoretical physics forces atomic energy on us the successful production of the fission fission bomb forces upon us the manufacture of the hydrogen bomb we do not choose our problems we do not choose our products we are pushed we are forced by what by a system which has no purpose and goal transcending it and which makes man its appendix we shall see a great deal more about this aspect of man's powerlessness and the analysis of contemporary capitalism at this point however at this point however we ought to dwell a little longer on the importance of the modern market as the central mechanism of distribu of distributing the social product since the market is the basis for the formation of human relations in capitalistic society if the wealth of society corresponded to the actual needs of all its members there would be no problem of distributing it each member could take from the social product as much as he likes or needs and there would be no need of regulation except in the purely technical sense of distribution but aside from primitive societies this condition has never existed up to now in human history the needs were always greater than the sum total of the social product and therefore a regulation had to be made on how to distribute it how many and who should have the optimal satisfaction of their needs and which classes had to be satisfied with less than they wanted in most highly developed societies of the past this decision was made essentially by force certain classes had the power to appropriate the best of the social product for themselves and to assign to other classes the heavier and dirtier work and a smaller share of the product forest was often implemented by social and religious tradition which constituted such a strong psychic force within people that it often made the threat of physical force unnecessary the modern market is a self-regulating mechanism of distribution which makes it unnecessary to divide the social product according to an intended or traditional plan and thus does away with the necessity of the use of force within society of course the absence of force is more apparent than real the worker who has to accept the wage rate offered him on the labor market is forced to accept the market condition because he could not survive otherwise thus the freedom of the individual is largely illusory he's aware of the fact that there is no outer force which compels him to enter into certain contracts he is less aware of the laws of the market which operate behind his back as it were hence he believes that he is free when he actually is not but while this is so the capitalist method of distribution by the market mechanism is better than any other method devised so far in a class society because it is a basis for the relative political freedom of the individual which characterizes capitalistic democracy the economic functioning of the market rests upon competition of many individuals who want to sell their commodities on the commodity market as they want to sell their labor or services on the labor and personality market this economic necessity for competition led especially in the second half of the 19th century to an increasingly competitive attitude character lot characterologically speaking man was driven by the desire to surpass his competitor thus reversing completely the attitude characteristic of the feudal age that each one had in the social order his traditional place with which he should be satisfied as opposed to the social stability in the medieval system an unheard of social mobility developed in which everybody was struggling for the best places even though only a few were chosen to attain them in this scramble for success the social and moral rules of human solidarity broke down the importance of life was in being first in a competitive race another factor which constitutes the capitalistic mode of production is that in this system the aim of all economic activity is profit now around this profit motive of capitalism a great deal of calculated and uncalculated confusion has been created we have been told and rightly so that all economic activity is meaningful only if it only if it results in a profit that is to say if we gain more than we have spent in the act of production to make a living even the pre-capitalist artisan had to spend on raw material and his appearances wage or sorry and his apprentice's wage less than the price he charged for his product in any society that supports industry simple or complex the value of the saleable product must exceed the cost of production in order to provide capital needed for the replacement of machinery or other instruments for the development in increase of production but the question of the profitableness of production is not the issue our problem is is that our motive for production is not social usefulness not satisfaction in the work process but the profit derived from investment the usefulness of his product to the consumer need not interest the individual capitalist at all this does not mean that the capitalist psychologically speaking is driven by an insatiable greed for money this may or may not be so but it is not essential for the capitalistic mode of production in fact greed was much more frequently the capitalist's motive in an earlier phase than it is now when ownership and management are largely separated and when the aim of obtaining higher profits is subordinate to the wish for the ever growing expansion and smooth running of the of an enterprise income can under the present system be quite apart from personal effort or service the owner of capital can earn without working the essential human function of exchange of effort for income can become the abstracted manipulation of money for more money this is most obvious in the case of the absentee owner of an industrial enterprise it does not make any difference whether he owns the whole enterprise or only a share of it in each case he makes a profit from his capital and from the work of others without having to make any effort himself there have been many pious justifications for this state of affairs it has been said the profits were a payment for the risk he takes in his investment or for a self-depriving effort to save which enabled him to accumulate the capital he can invest but it is hardly necessary to prove that these marginal factors do not alter the elementary fact that capitalism permits the making of profits without personal effort and productive function but even as far as those who do do or who sorry those who do work and perform services their income is not in any reasonable correlation to the effort they make a school teacher's earnings are but a fraction of those of a physician in spite of the fact that her social function is of equal importance and her personal effort hardly less the miner earns a fraction of the income of the manager of the mine though his personal effort is greater if we consider the dangers and discomforts connected with his work what characterizes income distribution and capitalism is the lack of balanced proportion between an individual's effort and work and the social recognition accorded them financial compensation this disproportion would in a poorer society than ours result in greater extremes of luxury and poverty than our standards of morals would tolerate i am not stressing however the material effects of this disproportion but its moral and psychological effects one lies in the under evaluation of work of human effort and skill the other lies in the fact that as long as my gain is limited by the effort i make my desire is limited if on the other hand my income is not in proportion to my effort there are no limitations to my desires since their fulfillment is a matter of opportunities offered by certain market market situations and not dependent on my own capacities 19th century capitalism was truly private capitalism individuals saw and seized new opportunities acted economically sensed new methods acquired property both for production and consumption and enjoyed their property this pleasure and property aside from competitiveness and profit seeking is one of the fundamental aspects of the character of the middle and upper classes of the 19th century it is all the more important to note this trait because with regard to the pleasure and property and in saving man today is so markedly different from his grandfather's the mania for saving and for possession in fact has become the characteristic feature of the most backward class the lower middle class and is much more readily found in europe than in america we have here one of the examples where trade of the social character which was once that of the most advanced class became in the process of economic development obsolete as it were and is retained by the very groups which have developed the least characterologically the pleasure and possession and property has been described by freud as an important aspect of the anal character from a different theoretical premise i have described the same clinical picture in terms of the hoarding orientation like all other character orientations the hoarding one has positive and negative aspects and whether the positive or the negative aspects are dominant depends on the relative strength of the productive orientation within the individual or social character the positive aspects of this orientation as i have described them in man for himself are to be critical economical careful reserved cautious tenacious imperturbable orderly methodical and loyal the corresponding negative aspects are to be unimaginative stingy suspicious cold anxious stubborn indolent pedantic obsessional and possessive it can be easily seen that in the 18th and 19th centuries when the hoarding orientation was geared to the necessities of economic progress the positive characteristics were predominant while in the 20th century when these traits are the obsolete feature of an obsolete class the negative aspects are almost exclusively present the breakdown of the traditional principle of human solidarity led to new forms of exploitation in feudal society the lord was supposed to have the divine right to demand services and things from those subject to his domination but at the same time he was bound by custom and was obligated to be responsible for his subjects to protect them and to provide them with at least the minimum the traditional standard of living feudal exploitation took place in a system of mutual human obligations and thus was governed by certain restrictions exploitation as it developed in the 19th century was essentially different the worker or rather his labor was a commodity to be bought by the owner of capital not essentially different from any other commodity on the market and it was used to its fullest capacity by the buyer since it had been bought for its proper price on the labor market there was no sense of reciprocity or of any obligation on the part of the owner of capital beyond that of paying the wages if hundreds of thousands of workers were without work and on the point of starvation that was their bad luck the result of their inferior talents or simply a social and natural law which could not be changed exploitation was not personal anymore but it had become anonymous as it were it was the law of the market that condemned a man to work for starvation wages rather than the intention or greed of any one individual nobody was responsible or guilty nobody could change conditions either one was dealing with the iron laws of society or so it seemed in the 20th century such capitalistic exploitation as was customary in the 19th century has largely disappeared this must not however becloud the insight into the fact that 20th century as well as 19th century capitalism is based on the principle that is to be found in all class societies the use of man by man since the modern capitalist employees labor the social and political form of this exploitation has changed what is not changed is that the owner of capital uses other men for the purpose of his own profit the basic concept of use has nothing to do with cruel or not cruel ways of human treatment but with the fundamental fact that one man serves another for purposes which are not his own but those of the employer the concept of use of man by man has nothing to do even with the question whether one man uses another or uses himself the fact remains the same that a man a living human being ceases to be an end in himself and becomes the means for the economic interests of another man or himself or of an impersonal giant the economic machine there are two obvious objections to the foregoing statements one is that modern man is free to accept or to decline a contract and therefore he is a voluntary participant in his social relation to the employer and not a thing but this objection ignores the fact that in the first place he has no choice but to accept the existing conditions and secondly that even if he were not forced to accept these conditions he would still be employed that is made use of for purposes not his own but of the capital whose profit he serves the other objection is that all social life even in its most primitive form requires a certain amount of social cooperation and even discipline and that certainly in the more complex form of industrial production a person has to fulfill certain necessary and specialized functions while this statement is quite true it ignores the basic difference in a society where no person has power over another each person fulfills his functions on the basis of cooperation and mutuality no one can command another person except in so far as a relationship is based on mutual cooperation on love friendship or natural ties actually we find this present in many situations in our society today the normal cooperation of husband and wife in their family life is to a large extent not any more determined by the power of the husband to command his wife as it existed in older forms of patriarchal society but on the principle of cooperation and mutuality the same holds true for the relationship of friends and as much as they perform certain services for each other and cooperate with each other in these relationships no one would dare to think of commanding the other person the only reason for expecting his help lies in the mutual feeling of love friendship or simply human solidarity the help of another person is secured by my active effort as a human being to elicit his love friendship and sympathy in the relationship of the employer to the employee this is not the case the employer has bought the services of the worker and however human his treatment may be he still commands him not on a basis of mutuality but on the basis of having bought his working time for so many hours a day the use of man by man is expressive of the system of values underlying the capitalistic system capital the dead past employs labor the living vitality and power of the present in the capitalistic hierarchy of values capital stands higher than labor amassed things higher than the manifestations of life capital employs labor and not labor capital the person who owns capital commands the person who only owns his life human skill fatality and creative productivity things are higher than man the conflict between capital and labor is much more than the conflict between two classes more than their fight for a greater share of the social product it is the conflict between two principles of value that between the world of things and their amassement and the world of life and its productivity closely related to the problem of exploitation and use although even more complicated is the problem of authority in 19th century man any social system in which one group of the population is commanded by another especially if the latter is a minority must be based on a strong sense of authority a sense which is increased in a strongly patriarchal society where the male sex is supposed to be superior to and in control of the female sex since the problem of authority is so crucial for our understanding of human relations in any kind of society and since the attitude of authority has changed fundamentally from the 19th to the to the 20th century i want to begin the discussion of this problem by referring to a differentiation of authority which i made in escape from freedom and which still seems to me valid enough to be quoted as a basis for the following discussion authority is not a quality one person has in the sense that he has property or physical qualities authority refers to an interpersonal relation in which one person looks upon another as somebody superior to him but there is a fundamental difference between a kind of superiority inferiority relation which can be called rational authority and when one which may be described as inhibiting or irrational authority an example will show what i have in mind the relationship between teacher and student and that between slave and a slave owner and slave are both based on the superiority of the one over the other the interests of teacher and pupil lie in the same direction the teacher is satisfied if he succeeds in furthering the pupil if he has failed to do so the failure is his and the pupils the slave owner on the other hand wants to exploit the slave as much as possible the more he gets out of him the more he is satisfied at the same time the slave seeks to defend as best he can his claims for a minimum of happiness these interests are definitely antagonistic as what is as what is of advantage to the one is detrimental to the other the superiority has a different function in both cases in the first it is the condition for helping of the person subjected to the authority in the second it is the condition for his exploitation the dynamics of authority in these two types are different too the more the student learns the less wide is the gap between him and the teacher it becomes more and more like the teacher himself in other words the rational authority relationship tends to dissolve itself but when the superiority serves as a basis for exploitation the distance becomes intensified through its long duration the psychological situation is different in each of these authority situations in the first elements of love admiration or gratitude are prevalent the authority is at the same time an example with which one wants to identify oneself partially or totally in the second situation resentment or hostility will arise against the exploiter subordination to whom is against one's own interests but often as in the case of a slave his hatred would only lead to conflicts which would subject the slave to suffering without a chance of winning therefore the tendency will usually be to repress the feeling of hatred and sometimes even to replace it by a feeling of blind admiration this has two functions one to remove the painful and dangerous feeling of hatred and two to soften the feeling of humiliation if the person who rules over me is so wonderful or perfect then i should not be ashamed of obeying him i cannot be his equal because he is so much stronger wiser better and so on than i am as a result in the inhibiting kind of authority the element either of hatred or of rational overestimation and admiration of the authority will tend to increase in the rational kind of authority the strength of the emotional ties will tend to decrease in direct proportion to the degree in which the person subjected to the authority becomes stronger and thereby more similar to the authority the difference between rational and inhibiting authority is only a relative one even in the relationship between slave and master there are elements of advantage for the slave he gets a minimum of food and protection which at least enables him to work for his master on the other hand it is only in an i'd in an ideal relationship between teacher and student that we find a complete lack of antagonism of interests there are many gradations between these two extreme cases as in the relationship of a factory worker with his boss or a farmer's son with his father or a a house frow with her husband nevertheless although in reality the two types of authority are blended they are essentially different and an analysis of a concrete authority situation must always determine the specific weight of each kind of authority the 19th century social character is a good example of a mixture between rational and irrational authority the character of society was essentially a hierarchical one they're no longer like the hierarchical character of feudal society based on divine law and tradition but rather on the ownership of capital those who owned it could buy and thus command the labor of those who did not and the latter had to obey under penalty of starvation there was a certain blending between the new and the old hierarchical pattern the state especially in the monarchial form cultivated the old virtues of obedience and submission to apply them to new contents and values obedient obedience in the 19th century middle class was still one of the fundamental virtues and disobedience one of the elementary vices at the same time however rational authority had developed side by side with irrational authority since the reformation and the renaissance man had begun to rely on his own reason as a guide to action and value judgment he felt proud to have convictions which were his and he respected the authority of scientists philosophers historians who helped him to form his own judgments and to be sure of his own convictions the decision between true and false right and wrong was of the utmost importance and indeed both the moral and intellectual conscience assumed a paramount place in the character structure of 19th century man he may not have applied the rules of his conscience to men of a different color or even of a different social class yet to some extent he was determined by his sense of right and wrong and at least by the repression of the awareness of wrongdoing if he did not succeed in avoiding wrong action closely related to this sense of intellectual and moral conscience is another trait characteristic of the 19th century the sense of pride and mastery if we look today at the pictures of 19th century life the man with the beard the tall silk hat and walking cane we are easily struck by the ridiculous and negative aspect of 19th century male pride a man's vanity and naive belief in himself as the highest accomplishment of nature and of history but especially if we consider the absence of this trait in our own time we can see the positive aspects of this pride man had the feeling of having put himself into the saddle so to speak of having freed himself from domination by natural forces and for the first time in history having become their master he had freed himself from the shackles of medieval superstition and even succeeded in the hundred years between 1814 and 1914 and creating one of the most peaceful periods history has ever known he felt himself to be an individual subject only to the laws of reason following only his own decisions summing up then we may say that the social character of the 19th century was essentially competitive hoarding exploitation authoritarian aggressive individualistic anticipating our later discussion we may already emphasize here the great difference between 19th and 20th century capitalism instead of the exploitative and hoarding orientation we find the receptive and marketing orientation instead of competitiveness we find an increasing tendency toward teamwork instead of a striving for ever increasing profit a wish for a steady insecure income instead of exploitation a tendency to share and spread wealth and to manipulate others and oneself instead of rational and irrational but overt authority we find anonymous authority the authority of public opinion in the market instead of the individual conscience the need to adjust and be approved of instead of the sense of pride and mastery in ever-increasing though mainly unconscious sense of powerlessness if we look back at the pathological problems of 19th century man they are of course closely related to the peculiarities of his social character the exploitative and hoarding attitude caused human suffering and lack of respect for the dignity of man it caused europe sorry it caused europe to exploit africa and asia and her own working class ruthlessly ruthlessly and without regard for human values the other pathogenic phenomenon of the 19th century the role of rational authority and the need to submit to it led to the repression of thoughts and feelings which were tabooed by society the most obvious symptom was the repression of sex and all that was natural in the body movements dress architectural style and so on this repression resulted as freud thought in various forms of neurotic pathology the reform movements of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th which tried to cure social pathology started from these main symptoms all forms of socialism from anarchism to marxism emphasize the necessity for abolishing exploitation and transforming the working man into an independent free and respected human being they believed that if economic suffering were abolished and if the working man were free from the domination of the capitalist all the positive achievements of the 19th century would come to their full fruition while the vices would disappear in the very same way frey believed that if sexual repression were considerably diminished neuroses and all forms of mental sickness would be diminished in consequence even though in his later life his original optimism became more and more reduced the liberals believed that complete freedom from irrational authorities would usher in a new millennium the prescriptions for the care of human ills given by the liberals the socialists and the psychoanalysts different as they were from each other nevertheless fit into the pathology and symptom symptomatology characteristic of the 19th century what was more natural than to expect that by abolishing exploitation and economic suffering or by doing away with sexual repression and rational authority man would enter into an era of great freedom or greater freedom happiness and progress than he had had in the 19th century half a century has passed and the main demands of the 19th century reformers have been fulfilled speaking of the economically most progressive country the united states the economic exploitation of the masses has disappeared to a degree which would have sounded fantastic in marx's time the working class instead of falling behind in the economic development of the whole society has an increasing share in the national wealth and it is a perfectly valid assumption that provided no major catastrophe occurs there will in about one or two generations being no more marked poverty in the united states ah poor eric from was dead wrong with that one closely related to the increasing abolishment of economic suffering is the fact that the human and political situation of the worker has changed drastically largely through his unions he has become a social partner of management also not saying that's true he cannot be ordered around fired abused as he was even 30 years ago he can be and he often is he certainly does not look up anymore to the boss as if he were a higher and superior being he neither worships him nor hates him although he might envy him for the greater advances he has made in the attainment of the socially desirable aims as far as submission to irrational authority goes the picture has changed drastically since the 19th century as far as parent-child relations are concerned children and children are no longer afraid of their parents again not necessarily correct they are companions nope and if anybody feels slightly uneasy it is not the child but the parents who fear not being up to date in industry as well as in the army there is a spirit of teamwork and equality which would have seemed unbelievable 50 years ago in addition to all that sexual repression has diminished to a to a remarkable degree after the first world war sexual revolution took place in which old inhibitions and principles were thrown overboard the idea of not satisfying a sexual wish was supposed to be old-fashioned or unhealthy even though there was a certain reaction against this attitude on the whole the 19th century system of taboos and repressions has almost disappeared looked upon from the standards of the 19th century we have achieved almost everything which seemed to be necessary for a senior society and indeed many people who still think in terms of the past century are convinced that we continue to progress consequently they also believe that the only threat to further progress lies in authoritarian societies like the soviet union which with its ruthless economic exploitation of workers for the sake of quicker accumulation of capital and the ruthless political authority necessary for the continuation of exploitation resembles in many ways the earlier phase of capitalism sorry i lost my spot um for those however who do not look at our present society with the eyes of the 19th century it is obvious that the fulfillment of the 19th century hopes has by no means led to the expected results in fact it seems that in spite of material prosperity political and sexual freedom the world in the middle of the 20th century is mentally sicker than it was in the 19th century indeed we are not in danger of becoming slaves anymore but of becoming robots as adley stevenson said so succinctly there is no overt authority which intimidates us but we are but we are governed by the fear of the anonymous authority of conformity we do not submit to anyone personally we do not go through conflicts with authority but we have also no convictions of our own almost no individuality almost no sense of self quite obviously the diagnosis of our pathology cannot follow the lines of the 19th century we have to recognize the specific pathological problems of our time in order to arrive at a vision of that which is necessary to save the western world from an increasing insanity this diagnosis will be attempted in the following section dealing with the social character of western man in the 20th century c 20th century society one social and economic changes drastic changes in industrial techniques economy and social structure have occurred in capitalism between the 19th and the middle of the 20th century the changes in the character of man are not less drastic and fundamental while we have already mentioned certain changes from 19th to 20th century capitalism changes in the form of exploitation in the form of authority in the role of possessiveness the following discussion will deal with those economic and characterological characterological features of contemporary capitalism which are the most fundamental ones in our time even though they may have their origins in the 19th century or even earlier to begin with a negative statement in contemporary western society the feudal traits are disappearing more and more and the pure form of capitalistic society thus becomes further apparent however the absence of feudal remnants is still much more marked in the united states than in western europe capitalism in the united states is not only more powerful and more advanced than in europe it is also the model toward which european capitalism is developing it is such a model not because europe is trying to imitate it but because it is the most progressive form of capitalism freed from feudal remnants and shackles the feudal heritage has aside from its obvious negative qualities many human traits which compared with the attitude produced by pure capitalism are exceedingly attractive european criticism of the united states is based essentially on the older human values of feudalism and as much as they are still alive in europe it is a criticism of the present in the name of the past which is rapidly disappearing in europe itself the difference between europe and the united states in this respect is only the difference between an older and a newer phase of capitalism between a capitalism still blended with feudal remnants and a pure form of it the most obvious change from the 19th to the 20th century is the technical change the increased use of the steam engine of the combustion motor of electricity and the beginning of the use of atomic energy the development is characterized by the increasing replacement of manual work by machine work and beyond that of human intelligence by machine intelligence while in 1850 men supplied 15 percent of the energy for work animals 79 percent and machined six percent respectively in the middle of the 20th century we find an increasing tendency to employ automatically regulated machines which have their own brains and which bring about a fundamental change in the whole process of production the technical change in the mode of production is caused by and in its turn necessitates an increasing concentration of capital the decrease in number and importance of smaller firms is in direct proportion to the increase of big economic colossi a few figures may help to make concrete the picture which in its general outline is very well known a 573 independent american corporations covering most stocks traded on the new york stock exchange in 1930 130 companies controlled more than 80 percent of the assets of all the companies represented the 200 largest non-banking corporations controlled nearly half of all non-banking non-banking corporate wealth while the remaining half was owned by the more than 300 000 smaller companies it must further be remembered that the influence of one of these huge companies extends far beyond the assets under its direct control smaller companies which sell to or buy from the larger companies are likely to be influenced by them to a vastly greater extent than by other smaller companies with which they might deal in many cases the continued prosperity of the smaller company depends on the favor of the larger and almost inevitably the interests of the latter become the interests of the former the influence of the larger company on prices is often greatly increased by its mere size even though it does not begin to approach monopoly its political influence may be tremendous therefore if roughly half of the corporate wealth is controlled by 200 large corporations and half by smaller companies it is fair to assume that very much more than half of industry is dominated by these great units this concentration is made even more significant when it is recalled that as a result of it approximately 2 000 individuals out of a population of 120 million are in a position to control and direct half of industry this concentration of power has been growing since 1933 and has yet not come to a stop the number of self-employed entrepreneurs has decreased considerably while in the beginning of the 19th century approximately four-fifths of the occupied population were self-employed entrepreneurs around 1870 only one third belonged to this group and by 1940 this old middle class comprised only one-fifth of the occupied population that is to say only 25 percent of its relative strength 100 years earlier twenty seven thousand giant firms constituting only one percent of all the firms in the united states employ over fifty percent of all people engaged in business today while on the other hand one million five hundred thousand one-man enterprises non-farming employ only six percent of all people employed in business as these figures already indicate with the concentration of enterprises goes an enormous increase of employees in these big enterprises while the old middle class composed of farmers independent businessmen and professionals formerly constituted 85 percent of the middle class it is now only 44 the new middle classes have increased from 15 percent to 56 percent in the same period this new middle class is composed of managers who have risen from two percent to six percent salaried professionals from four percent to fourteen percent sales people from seven percent to fourteen percent and office workers from two percent to 22 altogether the new middle class has risen from six percent to 25 of the total labor force between 1870 and 1940 while the wage workers have declined from 61 percent to 55 of the labor force within the same period as mills puts it very succinctly fewer individuals manipulate things more handle people and symbols with the increase in the importance with the increase in the importance of the giant enterprises another development of utmost importance has occurred the increasing separation of management from ownership this point is illustrated by revealing figures in the classic work of burl and means of 144 companies for which information could be obtained among the 200 largest companies in 1930 only 20 had under 5 000 stockholders while 71 had between 20 000 and 500 000 stockholders only in small companies did the management appear to hold an important stock interest while in the large and that is to say the most important companies there is an almost complete separation between stock ownership and management in some of the largest railroading utility companies in 1929 the size of the largest holding by any one stockholder did not exceed 2.74 percent and this condition according to berlin means exists also in the industrial field when the inde when the industries are arranged in order of the average size of the management's holdings of stock the proportion held by the officers and directors is seen to vary in almost exactly inverse ratio to the average size of the companies under consideration with only two major exceptions the larger the size of the company the smaller was the proportion of the stock held by the management in the railroads with common stock averaging 52 million dollars per company the holdings of the management amounted to 1.4 and in miscellaneous mining and querying it amounted to 1.8 percent only where the companies are small did the management appear to hold important stock interest the holdings of the latter amounted to less than 20 except in industries with companies having an average capital under 1 million while but three industrial groups each composed of companies averaging less than two hundred thousand dollars showed directors and officers owning more than half the stock taking the two tendencies that of the relative increase of big enterprise and of the smallest of management holdings of big enterprises together it is quite evident that the general trend is increasingly one in which the owner of capital is separate from the management how the management controls the enterprise in spite of the fact that it does not own a considerable part is a sociological and psychological problem which will be taken up later on another fundamental change from 19th century to contemporary capitalism is the increase in significance of the domestic market our whole economic machine rests upon the principle of mass production and mass consumption while in the 19th century the general tendency was to save and not to indulge in expenses which could not be paid for immediately the contemporary system is exactly the opposite everybody is coaxed into buying as much as he can and before he is saved enough to pay for his purchases the need for more consumption is strongly stimulated by advertising and all other methods of psychological pressure this development goes hand in hand with the rise of the economic and social status of the working class especially in the united states but also all over europe the working class has participated in the increased production of the whole economic system the salary of the worker and his social benefits permit him a level of consumption which would have seemed fantastic 100 years ago his social and economic power has increased to the same degree and this not only with regard to salary and social benefits but also to his human and social role in the factory let us take another look at the most important elements in the 20th century capitalism the disappearance of feudal traits the revolutionary increase in industrial production the increasing concentration of capital and bigness of business and government the increasing number of people who manipulate figures and people the separation of ownership from management the rise of the working class economically and politically the new methods of work in factory and office and let us describe these changes from a slightly different perspective or a different aspect sorry the disappearance of feudal factors means the disappearance of irrational authority um i don't understand how that's true but okay nobody is supposed to be higher than his neighbor by birth god's will natural law everybody is equal and free but is this supposed to be sarcasm i don't understand nobody may be exploited or commanded by virtue of a natural right if one person is commanded by another it is because the commanding one bought the labor of the services or the services of the commanded one on the labor market the commands because they are both free and equal and thus could enter into a contractual relationship however with a rational authority rational authority becomes obsolete too if the market and the contract regulates relationships there's no need to know what is right and what is wrong in good and evil all that is necessary is to know that things are fair that the exchange is fair and that things work that they function another decisive fact which the 20th century man experiences is the miracle of production he commands forces thousands of times stronger than the ones nature had give given him before steam oil electricity have become his servants and beasts of burden he crosses the oceans the continents first in weeks than in days now and hours he seemingly overcomes the law of gravity and flies through the air he converts deserts into fertile lands makes rain instead of praying for it the miracle of production leads to the miracle of consumption no more traditional barriers keep anyone from buying anything he takes a fancy too he only needs to have the money but more and more people have the money not for the genuine pearls perhaps but for the synthetic ones for fords which look like cadillacs for the cheap dresses which look like the expensive ones for cigarettes which are the same for millionaires and for the working men everything is within reach can be bought can be consumed where was there ever a society where this miracle happened men work together thousands stream into the industrial plants in the offices they come in cars and subways and buses in trains they work together according to a rhythm measured by the experts with methods worked out by the experts not too fast not too slow but together each a part of the whole the evening stream flows back they read the same newspaper they listen to the radio they see the mo the movies the same for those on the top and for those at the bottom of the ladder for the intelligent and stupid for the educated and the uneducated produce consume enjoy together in step without asking questions that is the rhythm of their lives what kind of men then does our society need what is the social character suited to 20th century capitalism it needs men who cooperate smoothly in large groups who want to consume more and more and whose tastes are standardized and can be easily influenced and and anticipated it needs men who feel free and independent not subject to any authority or principle or conscience yet willing to be commanded to do what is expected to fit into the social machine without friction how can man be guided without force led without leaders be prompted without any aim except the one to be on the move to function to go ahead two character logical changes a quantification obstructification in analyzing and describing the social character of contemporary man one can choose any number of approaches just as one does in describing the character structure of an individual these approaches can differ either in the depth to which the analysis penetrates or they can be centered around different aspects which are equally deep yet chosen according to the particular interest of the investigator in the following analysis i have chosen the concept of alienation as the central point from which i am going to develop the analysis of the contemporary social character for one reason because this concept seems to me to touch upon the deepest level of the modern personality for another because it is the most appropriate if one is concerned with the interaction between the contemporary socioeconomic economic structure and the character structure of the average individual we must introduce the discussion of alienation by speaking of one of the fundamental economic features of capitalism the process of quantification and abstractification the medieval artisan produced goods for a relatively small and known group of customers his prices were determined by the need to make a profit which permitted him to live in a style traditionally commensurate with his social status he knew from experience the costs of production and even if he employed a few journeymen and apprentices no elaborate system of bookkeeping or balance sheets was required for the operation of his business the same held true for the production of the peasant which required even less quantifying abstract methods contrast the modern business enterprise rests upon its balance sheet it cannot rest upon such concrete and direct observation as the artisan used to figure out his profits raw material machinery labor costs as well as the product can be expressed in the same money value and thus made comparable and fit to appear in the balance equation all economic occurrences have to be strictly quantifiable and only the balance sheets the exact comparison of economic processes quantified in figures tell the manager whether and to what degree he is engaged and profitable that is to say a meaningful business activity this transformation of the concrete into the abstract has developed far beyond the balance sheet and the quantification of the economic occurrences in the sphere of production the modern businessman not only deals with millions of dollars but also with millions of customers thousands of stockholders and thousands of workers and employees all these people become so many pieces in a gigantic machine which must be controlled whose effects must be calculated each man eventually can be expressed as an abstract entity as a figure and on this basis economic occurrences are calculated trends are predicted decisions are made today when only about 20 percent of our working population is self-employed the rest work for somebody else and a man's life is dependent on someone who pays him a wage or a salary but we should say something instead of someone because a worker is hired and fired by an institution the managers of which are impersonal parts of the enterprise rather than people in personal contact with the men they employ let us not forget another fact in pre-capitalistic society exchange was to a large extent one of goods and services today all work is rewarded with money the close fabric of economic relations is regulated by money the abstract expression of work that is to say we receive different quantities of the same for different qualities and we give money for what we receive again exchanging only different quantities for different qualities practically nobody with the exception of the farm population could live for even a few days without receiving and spending money which stands for the abstract quality of concrete work another aspect of capitalist production which results in increasing abstractification is the increasing division of labor division of labor as a whole exists in most known economic systems and even in most primitive communities in the form of division of labor between the sexes what is characteristic of capitalistic production is the degree to which this division has developed well in the medieval economy there was division of labor let us say between agricultural production and the work of the artisan that there was little such there was little such division within each sphere of production itself the carpenter making a chair or table made the whole chair or the whole table and and even if some preparatory work was done by his apprentices he was in control of the production overseeing it in its entirety in the modern industrial enterprise in the modern industrial enterprise the worker is not the worker is not in touch with the whole product at any point he's engaged in the performance of one specialized function and while he might shift in the course of time from one function to another he is still not related to the concrete product as a whole he develops a specialized function and the tendency is such that the function of the modern industrial worker can be defined as working in a machine-like fashion in activities for which for which machine work has not yet been devised or which would be costlier than human work the only person who is in touch with the whole product is the manager but to him the product is an abstraction whose essence is exchange value well the worker for whom it is concrete never works on it as a whole undoubtedly without quantification and and abstractification modern mass production would be unthinkable but in a society in which economic activities have become the main preoccupation of man this process of quantification and and obstructification has transcended the realm of economic production and spread to the attitude of man to and spread to the attitude of man to things to people and to himself in order to understand the abstractification process in modern man we must first consider the ambiguous function of abstraction in general it is obvious that abstractions in themselves are not a modern phenomenon in fact an increasing ability to form abstractions is characteristic of the cultural development of the human race if i speak of a table i am using an abstraction i am referring not to a specific table in its full concreteness but to the genus table which comprises all possible concrete tables if i speak of a man i am not speaking of this or that person in his concreteness and uniqueness but of the genus man which comprises all individual persons in other words i make an abstraction the development of philosophical or scientific thought is based on an increasing ability for such for such abstractification and to give it up would mean to fall back into the most primitive way of thinking however there are two ways of relating oneself to an object one can relate oneself to it in its full concreteness then the object appears with all its specific qualities and there is no other object which is identical with it and one can relate oneself to the object in an abstract way that is emphasizing only those qualities which it has in common with all other objects of the same genus and thus accentuating some and ignoring other qualities the full and productive relatedness to an object comprises this polarity of perceiving it in its uniqueness and at the same time in its generality in its concreteness and at the same time in its abstractness in contemporary western culture this polarity has given way to an almost exclusive reference to the abstract qualities of things and people and to a neglect of relating oneself to their concreteness and uniqueness instead of forming abstract concepts where it is necessary and useful everything including ourselves is being abstractified the concrete reality of people and things to which we can relate with the reality of our own person is replaced by abstractions by ghosts that embody different quantities but not different qualities it is quite customary to talk about a three million dollar bridge a 20 cent cigar a five dollar watch and this not only from the standpoint of the manufacturer or the consumer in the process of buying it but as the essential point in the description when one speaks to the three million dollar bridge one is not primarily concerned with its usefulness or beauty that is with its concrete qualities but one speaks of it as a as of a commodity the main quality of which is is exchange value expressed in a quantity that of money this does not mean of course that one is not concerned also with the usefulness or beauty of the bridge but it does mean that its concrete use value is secondary to its abstract exchange value in the way the object is experienced the famous line by gertrude stein a rose as a rose is a rose is a protest against this abstract form of experience for most people a rose is just not a rose but a flower in a certain price range to be bought on a certain social locate on certain social occasions even the most beautiful flower provided it is a wild one costing nothing is not experienced in its beauty compared to that of the rose because it has no exchange value in other words things are experienced as commodities as embodiments of exchange value not only while we are buying or selling but in our attitude toward them when the economic transaction is finished a thing even after it has been bought never quite loses its quality as commodity in this sense it is expendable always retaining its exchange value quality a good illustration of this attitude is to be found in a report of the executive secretary of an important scientific organization as to how he spent a day in his office the organization had just bought and moved into a building of their own the executive secretary reports that during one of the first days after they had moved into the building he got a call from a real estate agent saying that some people were interested in buying the building and wanted to look at it although he knew that it was most unlikely that the organization would want to sell the building a few days after they had moved in he could not resist the temptation to know whether the value of the building had risen since they had bought it and spent one or two valuable hours in showing the real estate agent around he writes very interested in fact we can get an offer for more than we have put in building nice coincidence that offer comes while treasurer is in the office i'll agree it will be good for boards morale to learn that that the building will sell for a good deal more than it cost let's see what happens in spite of all the pride and pleasure in the new building it had still retained its quality as a commodity as something expendable and to which no false sense of possession or use is attached the same attitude is obvious in the relationship of people to the cars they buy the car never becomes fully a thing to which one is attached but retains its quality as a commodity to be exchanged in a successful bargain thus cars are sold after a year or two long before their use value is exhausted or even considerably diminished this abstractification takes place even with regard to phenomena which are not commodities sold on the market like a flood disaster the newspapers will headline a flood speaking of a million dollar catastrophe emphasizing the abstract quantitative element rather than the concrete aspect of human suffering but the abstractifying and quantifying attitude goes far beyond the realm of things people are also experienced as the embodiment of a quantitative exchange value to speak of man as being worth one million dollars is to speak of him not anymore as a concrete human person but as an abstraction whose essence can be expressed in a figure it is an expression of the same attitude when a newspaper headlines in obituary with the words shoe manufacturer dies actually a man has died a man with certain human qualities with hopes and frustrations with a wife and children it is true that he manufactured shoes or rather that he owned and managed a factory in which workers served machines manufacturing shoes but if it is said that a shoe manufacturer dies the richness and concreteness of a human life is expressed in the abstract formula of economic function the same abstractifying approach can be seen in expressions like mr nord or mr sorry mr ford produced so many automobiles or this or that general conquered a fortress or if a man has a house built for himself he says i built a house concretely speaking mr ford did not manufacture the automobiles he directed automobile production which was executed by thousands of workers the general never conquered the fortress he was sitting in his headquarters issuing orders and his soldiers did the conquering the man did not build a house he paid the money to an architect who made the plans into workers who did the building all this is not said to minimize the significance of the managing and directing operations but in order to indicate that in this way of experiencing things sight of what goes on concretely is lost and an abstract view is taken in which one function that of making plans giving orders or financing an activity is identified with the whole concrete process of production or a fighting or of building as the case may be the same process of abstractification takes place in all other spheres the new york times recently printed a news item under the heading a bachelor of science plus phd equals forty thousand dollars the information under this somewhat baffling heading was that statistical data showed that a student of engineering who has acquired his doctor's degree will earn in a lifetime forty thousand dollars more than a man who has only the degree of bachelor of sciences as far as this is a fact it is an interesting socioeconomic datum worthwhile reporting it is mentioned here because the way of expressing the fact as an equation between a scientific degree and a certain amount of dollars is indicative of the abstractifying and quantifying thinking in which knowledge is experiences the embodiment of a certain exchange value on the personality market it is to the same point when a political report in a news magazine states that the eisenhower administration feels it has so much capital of confidence that it can risk some unpopular measures because it can afford to lose some of that confidence capital here again a human quality like confidence is expressed in its abs abstract form as if it were a money investment to be dealt with in terms of a market specul a market speculation how drastically commercial categories have entered even religious thinking is shown in the following passage by bishop sheen oh random hiccups sorry in an article on the birth of christ our reason tells us so writes the author that if any one of the claimants for the role of god's son came from god the least that god could do to support his representatives claim would be to pre-announce his coming automobile automobile manufacturers tell us when to expect a new model or even more drastically billy graham the evangelist says i am selling the greatest product in the world why shouldn't it be promoted as well as as well as soap the process of abstractification however has still deeper roots and manifestations than the ones described so far roots which go back to the very beginning of the modern era to the dissolution of any concrete frame of reference in the process of life in a primitive society the world is identical with the tribe the tribe is in the center of the universe as it were everything outside is shadowy and has no independent existence in the medieval world the universe was much wider he comprised this globe the sky and the stars above it but it was seen with the earth as the center and man as the purpose of creation everything had its fixed place just as everybody has or had his fixed position in feudal society with the 15th and 16th centuries new vistas opened up the earth lost its central place and became one of the satellites of the sun new continents were found new sea lanes discovered the static social system was more and more loosened up everything and everybody was moving yet until the end of the 20th century nature and society nature and society had not lost their concreteness and definite definiteness man's natural and social world was still manageable still had definite contours but with the progress in scientific thought technical discoveries and the dissolution of all traditional bonds this definiteness and and concreteness is in the process of being lost whether we think of our new cosmological picture or theoretical physics or of eternal music or abstract art the concreteness and definitiveness of our frame of reference is disappearing we are not anymore in the center of the universe we are not anymore the purpose of creation we are not anymore the masters of a manageable and recognizable world we are a speck of dust we are a nothing somewhere in space without any kind of concrete relatedness to anything we speak of millions of people being killed of one third or more of our population being wiped out if a third world war should occur we speak of billions of dollars piling up as a national debt of thousands of light years as interplanetary distances of interspace travel of artificial satellites tens of thousands work in one enterprise hundreds of thousands live in hundreds of cities the dimensions with which we deal are figures and abstractions they are far beyond the boundaries which would permit of any kind of any kind of concrete experience there is no frame of reference left which is manageable observable which is adapted to human dimensions while our eyes and ears receive impressions only in humanly manageable proportions or concept of the world has lost just that quality it does not any longer correspond to our human dimensions this is especially significant in connection with the development of modern means of destruction in modern war one individual can cause the destruction of hundreds of thousands of men women and children he could do so by pushing a button he may not feel the emotional impact of what he is doing since he does not see does not know the people whom he kills it is almost as if his act of pushing the button and their death had no real connection the same man would probably be incapable of even slapping not to speak of killing a helpless person in the latter case the concrete situation arouses in him a conscience re conscious reaction common to all normal men in the former there is no such reaction because the act and his object are alienated from the doer his act is not his anymore but has so to speak a life and a responsibility of its own science business politics have lost all foundations and proportions which makes sense humanly we live in figures and abstractions since nothing is concrete nothing is real everything is possible factually and morally science fiction is not different from science fact nightmares and dreams from the events of next year man has been thrown out from any definite place once he can overlook and manage his life in the life of society he is driven faster and faster by the forces which originally were created by him in this wild world he thinks figures busy with abstractions more and more remote from concrete life you | Adrestia's Revolt | UC3ClSqbN5tlXOuFj3eqyAoA | 2021-07-26 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed)

2Qif8gAdF7U | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Qif8gAdF7U | Cosmetics | Wikipedia audio article | cosmetics are substances or products used to enhance or alter the appearance of the face or fragrance and texture of the body many cosmetics are designed for use of applying to the face and body they are generally mixtures of chemical compounds derived from natural sources such as coconut oil or may be synthetic or artificial cosmetics that are applied to the face to enhance one's appearance may be called makeup or makeup which include lipstick mascara eyeshadow foundation blush and bronzer among other products in the United States the Food and Drug Administration FDA which regulates cosmetics defines cosmetics as intended to be applied to the human body for cleansing beautifying promoting attractiveness or altering the appearance without affecting the body's structural functions this broad definition includes any material intended for uses or ingredient of a cosmetic product the FDA specifically excludes pure soap from this category topic etymology the word cosmetics derives from the greek cosmetic a technique cosmetic or Tecla meaning technique of dress and ornament from cosmetic or cosmetic or skilled in ordering or arranging and that from cosmos cosmos meaning amongst others order and ornament topic history Cosmetics have been in use for thousands of years the absence of regulation of the manufacture and use of cosmetics has led to negative side effects deformities blindness and even death through the ages examples are the prevalent use of series white lead to cover the face during the Renaissance and blindness caused by the mascara lash lure during the early 20th century Egyptian men and women used makeup to enhance their appearance they were very fond of eyeliner and eyeshadows in dark colors including blue red and black ancient Sumerian men and women were possibly the first to invent and wear lipstick about five thousand years ago they crushed gemstones and used them to decorate their faces mainly on the lips and around the eyes also around 3,000 BC to 1500 BC women in the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation applied red tinted lip stick to their lips for face decoration ancient Egyptians extracted red dye from Fuuka Celgene 0.01 percent iodine and some bromine man night but this dye resulted in serious illness lipsticks with shimmering effects were initially made using a pearlescent substance found in fish scales which is still used extensively today 6,000 year old relics of the hollowed-out tombs of the ancient Egyptian pharaohs are discovered according to one source early major developments include coal used by ancient Egypt as a protectant of the eye castor oil used by ancient Egypt as a protective balm skin creams made of beeswax olive oil and rose water described by Romans Vaseline and lanolin in the 19th century the ancient Greeks also used cosmetics as the ancient Romans did cosmetics are mentioned in the Old Testament such as in second Kings chapter nine verse 30 where Jezebel painted her eyelids approximately 840 BC and in the book of Esther where beauty treatments are described one of the most popular traditional Chinese medicines is the fungus tremolo fusa formas used as a beauty product by women in China and Japan the fungus reportedly increases moisture retention in the skin and prevents senile degradation of micro blood vessels in the skin reducing wrinkles and smoothing fine lines other anti-aging effects come from increasing the presence of superoxide dismutase in the brain and liver it is an enzyme that acts as a potent antioxidant throughout the body particularly in the skin tremolo fusa formas is also known in Chinese medicine for nourishing the lungs in the Middle Ages it seemed completely natural that the face should be whitened in the cheeks Rouge during the 16th century the personal attributes of the women who used makeup created a demand for the product among the upper-class cosmetic use was frowned upon at many points in Western history for example in the 19th century Queen Victoria publicly declared makeup improper vulgar and acceptable only for use by actors many women in the 19th century like to be thought of as fragile ladies they compared themselves to delicate flowers and emphasized their delicacy and femininity they aimed always to look pale and interesting sometimes ladies discretely used a little Rouge on the cheeks and used belladonna to dilate their eyes so it would make them stand out more makeup was frowned upon in general especially during the 1870s when social etiquette became more rigid teachers and clergy women specifically were forbidden from the use of cosmetic products during the 19th century there was a high number of incidences of lead poisoning because of the fashion for red and white LED makeup and powder this led to swelling an inflammation of the eyes weakened tooth enamel and caused the skin to blacken heavy use was known to lead to death however in the second part of the 19th century great advances were made in chemistry from the chemical fragrances that enabled a much easier production of cosmetic products it was socially acceptable for actresses in the 1800's to use makeup and famous beauties such as Sarah Bernhardt and Lily Langtry could be powdered most cosmetic products available still either chemically dubious or found in the kitchen amid food coloring berries and beetroot by the middle of the 20th century cosmetics were in widespread use by women in nearly all industrial societies around the world the cosmetic industry became a multi-billion dollar enterprise by the beginning of the 21st century in 1968 at the feminist Miss America protest protestors symbolically through a number of feminine products into our freedom trash can this included cosmetics which were among items the protesters called instruments of female torture and accoutrements of what they perceived to be enforced femininity as of 2016 the world's largest cosmetics company is L'Oreal which was founded by Eugene Schueller in 1909 as the French harmless hair coloring company now owned by liliane bettencourt 26% and nestle 28% the remaining 46% is traded publicly the market was developed in the u.s. during the 1910s by Elizabeth Arden Helena Rubinstein and Max Factor these firms were

E0VARelzuik | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0VARelzuik | Executive Replicas - Action Figure Update! - ROUND 2 | [Music] all right here we go coffee comics con online 2021 so we're doing this again this is round two we finally got a hold of winston luckily everything was fine and uh but we did have fun just looking at the the action figure so uh this is the man that's helping bringing the lady death action figure to you winston dunlop hey hey everyone executive replicas hey how you doing good good listen sorry everyone for yesterday i uh didn't know how to tell time so i was an hour late so i apologize it happens but uh yeah we're so glad you uh don't do that there we go well so glad we can have it uh join us today that's great um so the main question the big question where is our action figures winston you're wrong they're on the boat and they're heading towards la porte as we speak i was given a date of arrival at the port on the 9th or 10th of april and then once it gets to the port it's about waiting for customs to do what they have to do it with it release it and then it's delivered to coffin and then coffin does the fulfillment so we we get a lot of questions they folks since they bought it from us and it's lady death uh folks think that we're manufacturing this but we're just the licensee and you're the licensed poor you're the licensed okay a new licensee yes so uh could you just walk through that with everyone how does that work what does that mean i obtain a license from coffin to to do the to do whatever figure i want or whatever the merchandise is i get a license from coffin and then i seek out factories in china or if anything in the united states that i can do if it's not an action figure i seek out the factories i interview them and i get the factory to do the prototype and after the prototype is approved we go into production actually i take that back after the prototype is approved we go into pre-order then after pre-orders and the numbers are good we go into production production usually takes about uh between tooling could be 45 days to two months and then you have another 45 days to two months for the complete production and then they're ready to get on the container and get shipped to the united states so what happened so i think originally we had a date of i think we were telling folks it was going to they're going to be either arriving or we're going to start shipping last december so what happened with that how come that didn't that original date didn't pan out the they weren't allowing the trucks to they weren't allowing the containers to board the boats they were backed up so they instead of having us pay for storage the shipping company told us to hold on to until they were ready to get the container on board so we had to wait and then we waited then it was chinese new year so that was another delay so he had the holidays for us and then a month and a half later was chinese new year break which is usually 20 20 25 days on a break so that was what happened you know once you deal with customs and the shipping it's a whole different beast there and then so now okay so and then we sent out a update it was going to be we thought it was going to arrive this month so now it looks like it's going to be uh like you said the next month was that april 9th so april 9th so like that so how come where how come the extra time from there what what happened with that when the the shipping company picked up the container from the fact they picked up the product from the factory they put it in the container they brought the container to the docks to load it on the boat what happened from there i really don't know i was told they weren't allowed they weren't allowed to put the containers on the boat yet they were backed up so if you know they did they had to hold on to the pieces for uh for a couple of weeks and then finally they got it on the boat all right sounds good sounds like you're on top of things uh so it sounds like there's sounds like things are going to schedule based on you know all the little hiccups but it sounds like you're on top of stuff and it's it's it's coming to us as fast as possible yeah that's you know yeah production is uh is it's not a easy thing it's a lot of people think ah you know it's production you get it you send it and you send it out to the customers but there's a lot of people involved uh in the production process and then after production the logistics of getting it here to the states is a whole different another beast so we're pretty much dealing with individuals and companies that we have to pretty much allow them to do what they have to do to get the stuff here and you know i i have to give them the benefit of down i have to take their word you know the stuff is shipping stuff is getting there i i'm not the only one even though the lady deaf customers don't care about other customers another product but this this is a problem going across the board this is a problem that all manufacturers and licensees are dealing with and have been doing if i've been in this business 15 years and i don't think i've ever had a shipment arrive on time there's always been a problem with something in either customs holding it for examination x-ray or they don't have enough bodies to get to the container it has to be put in storage and then i have to pay the storage on that so yeah it's a whole different beast man it's it's just i i you know i just want to get the pieces done and get into in the customer's hands so obviously it sounds like something you love if you've been doing it this long and you keep putting up with the uh all these frustrations um so uh yeah i guess it's just part of the uh the downside of yeah it is definitely probably it's definitely a downside to the to the whole process and you know i just i really wish we could get manufacturing for statues and action figures done here in the states and i've tried that before and it i i still believe it can be done we have numerous amounts of talented artisans here in the united states we have capability we have the facilities we have everything here i just don't understand why we can't uh have that stuff done here in the states i mean when you start taking into account the shipping and the customs fees and the storage fees all that you're pretty much coming close to if you had the stuff done here in the united states but right now there's really no factories here in the states that are doing action figures on any scale whether it be three point seven five six inch or 12 inch there's no companies doing that here and i've tried i've tried for the last 10 years to get that going but it's not easy so in the meantime i have to continue getting my production done in in in china well i commend you on trying to do that so hopefully that will be uh something in the future maybe we can get manufactured in the us um so how does it so okay so just talking about like the box and all that do you help with the design um so what usually um with that they give us a template and the template usually is uh where you put the artwork on and we get the artwork from brian uh we put it on the box actually dave from loose collector does that he puts it on the box and then we send it to brian for approval brian approves it and then it goes to printing at the factory okay yeah that was my next question like how much approval does brian have over the um the product and uh 100 approval okay 100 approval nothing gets done without brian saying yeah go ahead or i want some changes is there some changes to be made that will be made okay yes because it has to represent the the product and the character absolutely has to represent the character to how brian wants it to look and also has to represent the brand so those two things have to be covered and you know that's not that's not anything that's hard at all it's just you we're we know or i know pretty much how the lady death process works i've uh been doing figures for brian for what six seven years now uh this is my first six inch but i've done 12 inches with brian before and uh you know we've done this it's the same process no matter what size skill or the product there's a process where i bring this stuff to brian brian approves it and then it goes through the regular process if there's changes which it has been changes before on all the products uh that's not a problem that's expected so like when you work with the the artists and like the sculptors and stuff they might have like their own vision of what it's supposed to be look like and they're like i'm like oh wait no well no yeah exactly when uh when when dave was brought in to do the sculpting for the piece you know he did this piece he did the sculpting of the prototype we sent we showed it to brian and brian had changes and we made the changes and we brought it back brian approved it and in that process in that time frame between brian uh approving the first one we looked it over and actually we do listen to the customers as well the customers were you know they make some comments and sometimes they see things that we really don't see at them at the moment so the customers made a couple of comments and you know we went in the changes were made we then showed it again to brian and he liked the changes even though he had approved the original one he still he liked the changes that we we upgraded it and it came out better so where did you get feedback from the customers when we were showing that it was is it uh was it like the who's the loose collectibles yeah this collector had put stuff on on their website and then facebook and they they got a lot of they got a lot of comments back most of it was good some of them were you know well they should do this and they should do that and we listen to it and we're like okay we can do that so we went in and they went in and made the changes and showed it to brian and brian liked them okay so so the pr okay so the chain of command so it's so brian has the the character you license the character and then you're working with loose collectibles to for the sculpt and uh for the production also we we're using their factory uh in china to to do the production so there's uh doing the prototyping and the end of production and i've known loose collector back in the day when they were doing some uh custom six-inch figures for me because i'm a collector and you know not all characters have been made yet into six inch or twelve inch so i had some six inches six figures done by them and i really liked the way they went about the detail the paint the sculpting it was it was one of the best uh figures i've seen as far as a custom six inch so i started to talk to him i started talking to him about two and a half years ago before we even got into the licensing thing and you know during that time we i purchased some more custom figures for them and i just fell in love with their technique and how they went about it and when i went to brian about doing the six inch he was like yeah okay get here's a license and i got the license i went to dave and dave because i got the license let's do this he said okay and we did it and then i'm seeing uh a lot of reviews of the products uh on a website called foosh or foosh yes associated with uh loose collectibles or with you or how do they get these prototypes to review and all that right they were sent the uh they were sent the prototype um oh no i'm sorry they were not they were sent the one of the first polls they were sent um and they checked it out same thing like the stuff that we sent brian earlier they received those and then they do a review on it and you know the views were really good oh yeah now i'm trying to remember i think i kind of remember he uh hearing customers say like uh i don't know if it was the hair or something like some of the improvements they're they're talking about or the cape um but uh yeah i think that's really great that you listen to the end customer who's actually going to purchase it that that uh you know and has their own demands and and can see what it's going to do like look like on their shelf and they've seen other designs that you know don't work so that's great that you actually listen to them and incorporate that into the final design we have to do that because the customers are bloodline if the customer is not happy they won't come back to us and buy another product if they don't like the the pre-order how the figure looks in pre-order they're not going to pre-order it so if customers have legitimate concerns or suggestions we listen to them now we don't listen to everything of course your customers are coming with some you know crazy uh suggestions or you know and it's just like okay thank you and you know we have to go go on about our business but the the series collectors have legitimate suggestions and there was a time where they didn't have a voice and because of social media now they have a voice and a disgruntled customer could really hurt sales of a certain character if something wasn't done right so you want to listen to them you want to go back and review and take the best suggestions that these customers had and look at it and say okay is there room for improvement will that help the figure would that hurt the figure will it will it hurt the articulation or would it um would it help the articulation so everything that was done to the piece helped in the looks and the articulation and they did uh they did a great job at it yeah i saw one review that the floosh guy did and he was talking about how it was perfectly balanced so she could stand uh some question about like does it need a stand to go into the stand up but yeah she can stand up by herself perfectly because of the the balance well you have to do you do have to balance it because she is uh heavy she is talking and uh and i'm meaning the hair and hair right right her hair so you know you know you just don't sit it down and it's going to stand on it so you have to do some finale for it to uh stand on but it is quite uh balanced well oh and i guess my other question because i was wondering is because of the you know covet if that had something to do with uh i'm assuming it had like when you're getting the calls about things being backed up and all that um i assume that that's probably the well yeah kovit you gotta remember um that covert thing started in china before the u.s even knew what was going on i started noticing problems at the end of 2019 when i was supposed to have some some uh production shipped to me and all of a sudden i got these emails saying that oh there's going to be a delay it's going to be delayed they're backed up they're backed up and i was like wow i mean i know it's the holidays but my stuff was already booked to be shipped out and then you know the new year came around and then by the time february march came around it was full-blown china was shut down we were pretty much shut uh shutting down and going you know losing our minds and so 2020 was was a lot of delays across the board uh in everyone's life not just in production and toys but just people's lives were put on hold changed turned upside down and you know it's a it was a horrible thing and you know i hope that's behind us i hope uh we do return to some normalcy in the very near future you know i do see things uh starting to return but you know there's still things lingering around that's pretty fascinating you saw in 2019 so actually i guess with that perspective it having these arrive next month is actually really good compared to what it could be if you know since things were getting backed up already in 2019 that you saw yeah i don't know if i would say it was pretty good i would have liked to have these shipped out at the end of uh december when we were supposed to um oh yeah that would be the best yeah you know i just it was just again it was something that was out of my control and was out of loose collector's control because the moment you deal with logistics again that's they're separate from us we they don't work they work hand in hand with us only in regards to they're picking up the shipment and getting it to us but there's they have to deal with customs they have to deal with the shipping comp uh the boats the docks and you know one they may have a date saying this is going to happen we're going to do it this day and you go down to the docks the doc says yeah we're backed up we can't do anything you're gonna have to you know it's gonna be another three or four days and that's when you get there so yeah and hey you know government workers they they're really quick so it they just it should come right out of uh customs uh that sounds like sarcasm there uh fingers crossed they'll uh they'll be in the front of the uh the boat and it'll just i hope so i mean i told them to keep me updated they said as soon as it gets to the port they'll let us know and then once once it's at the port hopefully customs doesn't take their sweet time going through it and hopefully they don't have to x-ray my container or inspect my container and because i can add a week to it i just want to get it delivered to coffin and get it to the customers awesome well thank you so much for answering all these questions on that so let's talk about the future what is in store for coffin and winston executive replicas dunlop well we have a line of six inch figures uh on the coffin characters so that's those are going to be done within the next probably two years and if you if brian adds any more characters you know we'll we'll gladly add them uh we've been holding off on hell with helmets because we don't want to put up another pre-order boom a which until the customers get the lady death you know and we was hoping to go watch out for pre-order in january so here we are you know she probably won't go up until april so what so okay i'm showing on the screen here this image is this like the prototype or is this like the final oh that's the prototype that's right okay and you know even though it's and it's been approved and we took you know the pictures we have all the pre-order pictures ready to go we have everything ready to go but it's it's not advisable i don't think it's advisable to you know to ask the customers to pre-order another figure when they're still waiting for their previous pre-order figure i'd rather them get it see the quality it's like oh wow it's worth the wait yeah no problem and then they'll put the order in so that's that's how we we're doing it with uh with coffin and uh and yeah yeah when that one goes into production hopefully everything will be a lot quicker and you know if you don't have another another outbreak of something or something you know really bad uh but and we also have 12-inch figures coming out of lady depp and la moab that soon and hellwitch but those are down the line probably 2022. we have to we you know we have to i know another thing is we have to really take into consideration the customer's wallet you know these are not 10 20 figures i wish they could be but you know in order for me to do that i have to produce like you know 200 000 pieces to get them down to that price and even then i don't think i can get them down that price that those numbers are probably doing the marvel legends pricing of you know 1999 to 25.99 what's the total run do you know the total run of uh i think uh four thousand four thousand that's it wow 4 000 so you know that's why the price is so high on on the pieces because these are these are not these are well made pieces they're you know a lot of work goes these are not they don't they look like they're well made they look high-end and there's a course to that and we we try to use different bodies for each character we're not just taking one body and putting all you know the same thing on top of that so there's a tooling course to that and you have to divide the tooling costs into the production cost and yeah you know i've had customers call me up and say why is your pieces so expensive and you know i just bought some marvel legends pieces even the dc direct pieces are more less exp uh less expensive than yours and i had to tell them look at the numbers look at their production runs what do you think the production runs on on marvel legends it's probably a couple hundred thousand of those we're doing four thousand so you you know wants to give you the same quality and craftsmanship yeah and these characters that you would get in a marvel legend so a dc direct there's a price added to that and the collectibility now wow yeah are you gonna do so you're gonna do another run of these the exact same ones or is this one and done for that and then maybe do like one and done for that there might be some variants done when we're talking to brian now about some variants but uh you know i want to move on to other characters i mean lady def has a variety of different outfits but this is not again we can't just take the same body and do different outfits these outfits are sculpted on the body so you have to do a new tool a new tool for it um it's going though i'm going to put my vote in to do this i don't know what you call this but where it's the the translucent translucent i love that i'll talk to brian about that and see if he uh if he wants to do that yeah i love i don't know for some reason that's those are my favorite variants of the those translucent ones uh either i've got like dracula and uh creature from black lagoon all you know the one color ones i just that would that would be so cool for brian and you know again you know you guys know your customer base better than i do and if you think that the customers the car the lady deaf fans and customers would want that i'll do it if the customers will buy it i'll do it you know that's the bottom line if you've got one yeah one customer here so far okay no not one customer you gotta have enough customers to go into production but if the customers want it yeah there's enough customers that want it and brian's okay with that we'll go into production all right we'll have to i'll start a campaign and come on come on fiends let's do it go ahead go ahead one two all right got a couple questions here uh oh okay are the wings removable on that hellwitch figure yes whoa cool oh you know what i didn't show this uh i've got the picture of the la marta figure that's pretty uh pretty amazing too yeah when we did the 12 figure of la muelta she had just come out and a lot of people didn't know who she was yeah i have to say that figure came out awesome and she saw it wasn't a huge run but they sold out now those figures when they first came out i think they were 160. now you try to get one for less than six seven eight hundred dollars now i remember posting uh promo photos of that of the actual figure and people thought that was a cosplay uh gal they thought it was a real person yeah playing and it was like no that's the figure oh my god it was so so amazing yeah the the lava want to figure that the 12 inch that we're doing now which i'm hoping to get uh the photos done and approved by brian so we could get that up for pre-order soon it's going to blow people's mind i'm not going to give anything away but it's going to blow your people your mind way it is here's a question from paul uh are there any more one six figures being made i'd love a hell which one six yes lady def uh different outfits hellwitch uh we have the llamo malta like i just said and uh there's some other characters from the coffin line that we're gonna we're gonna do in six inch and twelve inch here's a comment here for marco we're waiting a lot of time just hoping the final product will be good enough well i'm going to tell you marco i yeah it is it's it's more than good enough it's excellent yeah i mean listen i'm a collector also yeah i've been collecting since i was a teenager and you know i i wanted just to be on on the level of marvel legends and it is oh for sure it seems like that's what you kind of based like the the box seems to be the same style box and like is she the same size too as the the legends looks like it's a net universe that's uh the the common universe but for some reason the dc direct they're slightly bulkier slightly bigger than the the marvel legends line even though they're all considered 112 scale 6-inch i wanted to make it i want them to fit in the same universe as the marvel legends and there's other companies doing six-inch as well and they're doing the same thing fitting it in to the marvel legends line because that's the template really to go by i mean they uh they took it um you know before hasbro had it at toy biz was doing a i thought they were doing a great job until uh i joined the um facebook group and voiced my opinion on the toy biz versions and i got eaten alive you know i i thought when hasbro first started doing the marvel legends i i didn't like to paint the jobs i thought the paint jobs were not that great but they really you know they've gone a long way and that stuff is incredible we got one comment here from time to dying uh the figure needs lots of different weapons pistols machine guns grenades is that uh oh yeah absolutely absolutely and uh all right all right cool yeah that's that's about it we could wrap this up wow i missed everybody yesterday huh i see any more questions here before we throw in here uh we've got jp jacob saying ship it ship it yep it is we gotta get it get it before we shoot yeah joger can't wait to get it in hand for sure just so everyone knows i actually looked into shipping these things by air to get them to coffin whoa yeah and when i got the price that's exactly what i said whoa i thought i would be able to get a deal and they're like yeah if you're shipping the coffin there'll be about four dollars each will you times four by four thousand yeah uh that wasn't going to work so i made i tried everything on my end to try to get these figures in before you know it it took the delay but it wasn't cost effective uh here we go we got yeah i wouldn't expect it to be are you still doing the 12-inch with the tv league's bodies uh possibly possibly and uh james uh he stood us up yesterday you stand up and said i was sorry i okay we forgive you we forgive you thank you it happens to us and folks it was the time zone difference which you know what i uh i've been in arizona for so long we never changed so it's not something i don't even really think about so yeah it's a it's an issue yeah you should have seen my eyes when i saw the emails from me i was like am i okay what is everything okay what i was like oh no did i mess up here and yeah i did so i felt like such a heel but you know

production piece okay yeah oh incredible yeah i love how the hands i mentioned that yesterday like the hands even have the uh articulation which is yeah oh yeah so switching hands you got you thought of everything you could tell you are you you truly love what you do uh your your attention to detail is is amazing and fantastic and we really really appreciate it we're looking forward to uh you know a long uh you know yeah and also i just want to put another shout out to dave from news collector he you know he's helping make this a reality i mean i could go to somebody else and get a six inch figure but i don't know if it would be like this and that's that's the difference between going to loose collector and going to just a regular factory that does basic six-inch figures dave like myself has a passion for these characters he wants to make the best piece possible so i'm glad i made the decision to go with him yeah kudos and i can't wait to see the helwitch la morta and who else do we have back here looks like on the box we have all chaotica and lady satanist holy cow folks all right so 12 inch we're going to be looking at doing those as well so the next three four years is going

h6Syphy3-_c | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6Syphy3-_c | Hanging Indentation in Google Drive | I'd like everybody to pause and while you're doing for a moment to take a look at the board and notice the comments that I have made here hanging indentation requires that the second and all subsequent lines be indented hanging indentation is kind of like reverse indentation usually tab the first line and then all other lines are not could somebody guess why in a work cited page why do we want that reversed why don't we want the first line pulled out about what you're on the right track monster saying there's no confusion in other words to make this easier to do something what does it make it easier to do look at my page what is it easier to do tell which entry is which entry because what do you want to see primarily the first piece of information first of all because it's alphabetically-ordered and you want to see that first letter so you know how to alphabetize it secondly in my in-text citations up in the paragraphs I'm going to use the first piece of information that's what I need to see it's the first piece of information so hanging indentation makes work cited pages work if it is not hanging indented it's a mess do not use bullets do not use numbers only use hanging indentation now in Microsoft Word it's super simple because it's simple click and you can turn it on this is one of the very rare occurrences where I miss work because Google Drive does not do it quite as well but still let me show you how to do it in Drive okay we'll take a look at Max's and I'd like you to follow these instructions because I'll show you how to hanging and dine yours if you have three entries on there and say oh I only have three hanging indent them and then press return and it'll carry the hanging indentation over for the others too okay want to look at the works cited page first of all max could you eliminate the extra spaces between entries please now if you look at his page it's really difficult to read because all the entries are just kind of lined up there the hanging indentation is absolutely necessary so here's what we do we only want two hanging indent with this so we selected select everything you've got there and then I'm gonna do this on the mouse because smart boards not precise enough you see up here in the toolbar you have a rectangle and a triangle left indent first line indent pull all of it pull see pull the triangle over to the half inch mark and then the rectangle back to zero and then it's done and it's done for everything that you just selected so let me remind you of how that happens in case you're trying it it's not working quite well sorry my computer slowing down come on only select your entries don't select the work cited title only select your entries right there and when you start you'll have it like this grab at the triangle pull it over to here grab the rectangle pull it back over and then you're done it's hanging indented and if I were to press enter right here and I were to type see how it keeps the hanging indentation going but it won't infect any of the rest of your paper because all I did was select what's in here and that's how you accomplish hanging indentation so it's not bad I don't like to grab the ruler up there and manipulate I prefer autumn eyes formatting but it still works | Alexander Clarkson | UCaDQgeSRd5siKfjJDUijNuQ | 2014-01-23 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 619 | 3,262 |
NvbPZkL6gzU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvbPZkL6gzU | Book review #87 - The Relational Revolution in Psychoanalysis and Psychotherapy by Steven Kuchuck | [Music] so what i hope to do today is a book which is off transaction analysis but again this particular book but not all of them jackie would probably be of interest for seasoned psychotherapists i'm not saying it wouldn't be interested to students or the layperson yeah but i think it's more specifically for people who have been somewhere like you of your ilk somebody's been around quite a while and has seen the landscape of psychotherapy change so speaking of that what's the book that we're going to talk about today okay the title of this book the title yeah we'll start off it's called the relational revolution in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy so it's the with the relational revolution in psychoanalysis and psychotherapy and it's a brand new book 2021. when i read the write-up on this i was thinking wow that's that's been printed and published quite quickly with the content of what it's about yeah very much so inspiring a psychoanalyst strokes psychotherapist um stephen kuchank k-u-c-h-u-c-k who i don't know no me neither but i will i will put a link underneath this with a copy of the book and you know it's description yeah this is a person who's been around a long time and trained i think in classical psychoanalysis by the sounds of it that i wouldn't swear on that and have seen the landscape of psychoanalysis strokes psychotherapy change over 50 60 years and the other part of this book which you've just alluded to how um psychoanalysis strokes psychotherapy or relational psychoanalysis as he calls it has to accommodate and change in this global pandemic and to really start addressing very current subjects but they shouldn't just be current it should have actually been subject for many long time yeah you know race uh you know uh what it's called intersectionality nowadays exclusive to the um diversity inclusion and how psychotherapists themselves really have in fact the whole psychotherapy world or psychological world hasn't really addressed these subjects uh but they're really coming to the forefront now yeah 100 so that's why i think he wrote it but the book is and i'll just read it out the very short introduction at the beginning so this book investigates clinical theory and technique as well as the challenges of conducting psychotherapy during the extraordinary twinned circumstances of a global pandemic and an equally widespread societal awakening to the consequences of systemic racism two heavy subjects there yeah and also it examines the arch of how psychoanalysis since it started um you know with freud and young and people like that and how it's now changed or being really influenced by the concept of what we call relational psychotherapy or relational psychoanalysis and how really the verified view of derived theory and psychoanalysis has been left behind if you want to put it that way and now we have this really dominant force of what is called relational psychoanalysis or another way to look at jackie it was often called the relational turn so you know at the beginning of the the century you know 1999 2000 you had what was called the relational turn in psychotherapy and psychoanalysis where all research showed and most psychotherapies and psychoanalysis focused on the relationship being the cure you know being the aspect of healthyness and curative transformation so there was a movement to looking at the relationship between the therapist and the client as a vehicle for change rather than the modality transaction analysis existential psychotherapy rather than the modality was driven by the relationship being the most important curative factor so that's what the book's really about yes two twin subjects like you just said that's why i said at the beginning of this this book is really more aimed at more of the seasoned psychotherapists who've seen the arc of change throughout it's interesting to people who uh want to know about more about psychotherapy has developed and also how the really important societal process of racism diversity and inclusion have been left out of the agenda sadly to our shame of the psychotherapy trainings not all of them i hope mine addressed them to a certain bit but i think we've been there's been a lack of looking at some of these really pivotal issues yeah yeah i agree and one of the reasons why i was drawn to transactional analysis in the first place was that relational part of it i i dabbled in person centered but it didn't sit right with me somewhere i kind of felt like i had to leave myself outside the therapy room that's right whereas you know with transactional analysis i'm very much part of the therapeutic process as as the clinician so to speak that's correct and and you came along and trained in 2010 11 12 30 and that was when it was just after the relational turn i was talking about yeah most psychotherapy disciplines and core as well as transaction analysis started to seeing the study of the relationship as the major curative factor and to leave that out uh would be criminal so ta changed as well if you like so for example my training is highly relational and there is a focus on the relationship being the focus for change so so you're correct and in your in your day uh i can understand that attraction yeah yeah so what what what's your overarching view of the book then the relational revolution what what okay let's start with points let's just let's look at that part of it really the drive theory and classic psychoanalysis is defunct basically and misses out a whole analysis on the relationship and the inter-subjective part of the relationship in other words what's going on between the two subjects what's going on between the two people the client and the therapist yeah whereas whereas what you got with the classical psychoanalysis from the first half of the century well really till 67 19 you know 67 90 17 1980 really you had drive theory and a real concentration on an expert yeah who would analyze the pathology and give a diagnosis and he had a real emphasis on what we call free association but more than anything else so one up one down position and there was no absolutely no credence to the relationship being equal or a study of what's happening between two people or any ideas that the therapist stroke analyst would self-disclose what's happening uh between them no sense of any mutuality between the two people no sense of a study of the counter transference of the analyst none of those things were there so you had a very in my opinion one down theory based on actually very old fat old-fashioned well not of the day and also drive theory and sexist and certainly no sense of any um taking into account cultural or racism we know it now it was a very uh antiquated uh theory we can take some of the things from it but a lot of it was from another area yeah and so what we've seen this book is talking about the letting go of this early psychoanalysis driven by freud to a much more modern study of the uh psychothesis the person really and the relation between the therapist and the client yeah for me it's it's quite abstract to imagine how it was because like i only know it as it is now and the thought you know me walking into a room with a client and me being the expert and me being one up not one of the things that you taught me over and over you know with eric burn was i'm okay you're okay in the live positions yes that's right that's my ending a lot of the time if you went into a book store um a psychotherapy bookstore or bookstore that was you know selling books on human development and psychoanalysis pre-1960 every book would really be about how the therapist stays outside the relationship it wasn't until the seventh 1970s 1980s 1990s what we call the relational turn that you found books about the opposite which is how we stay in the relationship how the therapist and client actually examine what's happening between the two of themselves as an indicator for change that's a completely new revolution in the last 40 years well i'm glad i only learned it in the last 40 years then and i didn't do it before yeah because if you go right back 100 years ago freud would have said it was all to do with uh you know the hysteria was all to do with the sexual dysfunction and it would have all been around um sexual dysfunction rather than anything to do with the real real uh occurrences i think yeah everything will be through a lens of sexual dysfunction everything would be through a lens of drive theory everything would be the expert naming the pathology and nothing at all to do with an examination between two people so where does you know if we're looking at this book now where where does racism and equality and you know all those things play in the therapy room well of course what wasn't ever looked at was the cultural aspects of the two people the therapist and the client so for the psychoanalytical movement pre-1950 there was an no place at all for where racism cultural effects sexuality diversity because pre-1950 that type of psychoanalysis was everything fitted for one in other words you just treated everybody the same yeah if you can imagine that which i find absolutely bizarre yeah yeah there's nothing clear as folk we're human beings but we're all made up of life scripts and life stories and everything yeah yeah so how can you you know if any type of cultural difference any type of um uh difference around sexuality and racism and all the things we're just talking about went out of the window you just treat everybody the same through pathological lens and actually in ford's case through looking at sexual dysfunction but even when he let go of that it was all through you know there was no sense of difference at all you just speak them one way which is totally bizarre and what this book is talking about is the change over the last century to a completely different type of psychoanalysis stroke psychotherapy where there is a taking account culture taking down race take into account sexuality taking account all these differences we were talking about as highly influential and cure and what happens between the two people so do you think a therapist can specialize in in one area they can do but they have to take an encounter so for example a therapist who specializes in eating disorders yeah they can do that they could specialize in interest unless they take in a frame of reference of all the things we're talking about in terms of difference and cultural implication and you know where the person was helping them understanding themselves then their family reference about you know eating disorders is something missing because somebody is brought up in say some particular cultures uh food will be seen very differently rather than say a take that most the food is all about swallowing emotions well i just think of some cultural uh uh cultures where food is seen very differently yeah so unless we take in those sort of cultural differences and we take in frames of reference about sexuality and difference then i think it colours our thinking about certain specialists say eating disorders in this frame yeah and what what about i i've had phone calls where people have kind of made contact with me and asked me if i would work with people transgender have i got any experience of working with you know somebody from the transgender community and i i see everybody as a human being yes i know we're all different and we've got different cultures and different sexual preferences and all those sort of things so i i openly said you know it's not something that i'm specialized in i'm not a specialist in that area and i can you know sign posture to somebody else but it got me thinking about you know do i need to have experience of that in order to have a therapeutic relationship with somebody who is of the transgender community yes and no so i think that your own internal frame of reference which may be at a conscious level may include prejudice for example you don't even know about yeah for example um and in some ways that does matter it doesn't matter in other words if you are reflective enough to be to be able to get hold of your encounter transitions in the therapeutic conversation and own that or take it to supervision or therapy wherever you would i think that we could be great curative factors in in the relationship uh as the client sees a very authentic person in front of them for example uh where the but it demands the therapist themselves i think being reflective in their own state of uh they don't have the same references it's always going to be a sense of contamination and prejudice and as long as that's owned and worked through i think there's a lot of uh prospect for cure in the relationship because the person on the other side will see somebody being authentic and you know struggling with issues people struggle with all the time in the society yeah if they're not going to go into it from that point of view or that frame um we've got a problem i mean i think a lot of the trainings of psychotherapy sadly don't include enough training in all this and the trainers themselves you know if we look at the trainers how many block trainers do you see how many you know we could go on and on and we can see that the people who probably are the trainers or in the power power positions in the psychotherapy world often are wide middle-class people they don't come from ever other places of difference and that's what the book talks about in some ways the shame of that this game of living with that um with people coming you know a complete sense of difference from what they're used to and the way they were trained yeah i i like i like your answer to to that question that i put to you earlier on because does that work not only with you know different sexual preferences or or anything like that but also across cultures you know i i wouldn't like to think that as a white middle-aged woman i could only see white middle-aged women oh i know to me it's with you being honest in your own character transmission reflection what that brings up for you and i believe if you come from that place the the uh impact on the client will be highly curative yeah that that that fills me with something i'm not sure what what what's going on and resonating with me but yeah he does you know i i've i've got quite a few clients that are mixed race that that were involved you know with some of the demonstrations down in london last year and felt really strongly about it yeah know what you need to bring up in your as a therapist you to share your own kind of transference your own self-disclosure is so empowering with somebody who's never had that from the other person yeah and you know i i as another human being i couldn't claim to to comprehend what this client was was feeling at that time it's not impossible you know you said that's it impossible but as long as you share that and you self-disclose the hopelessness of that or whatever's happening for you yeah unto you then that's what i believe is the mutual curative factor yeah in a relational psychotherapy and that's what this book talks about yeah and that that is undisputable in that therapeutic relationship in in that room and yeah i think so it's bizarre to think of psychoanalysis for 175 80 years from what since the birth of his that book on hysteria by freud right up until 1945 50 55 where everybody was just treated one uniform way that's how how is that i think how is that it's bizarre i think it's it's it's so um it's hard for myself to get my head around that in some ways yeah so you know when you sit in here now in 2021 saying how i can't get my head around how that was do you think in i don't know 20 30 years time people will be looking back at what we practiced today thinking how did they practice that way what's that all about do you think there's a big shift coming as far as i think we've had yes i think was a huge shift in the relational turn at the beginning of the century do you know where we are 2201 202 onwards and now we are in 21 and we've seen the birth and society of societal cultural differences the black lives movement the the huge emphasis on difference in racism and all the things we're talking about here and on sexuality and transgender and all the things we're just talking about jackie and i believe that if we follow this relational the way i'm talking about things here right then i think we'll be looked back very favorably but i believe psychotherapy will go further and further along the path but the curative factor is when two human beings can share their own powerlessness in their actual room yeah i love that i love the way you put that into words very succinctly bob oh well thank you very much but i really believe that i also believe there's going to be a huge um development in the study of spirituality what that means in the psychotherapy room um so i think that uh well this period will be looked back as favorable now having said all that a lot i think cytok psychotherapy trainings have to change unless the psychotherapy trainings change yeah that's that's some of the place these changes need to happen yeah and you know sometimes we need to be a bit radical to encourage change you know i do agree it's kind of white middle-aged a lot of this and when i first started my training i did feel out of my depth being you know working class and coming out of school with not a lot of qualifications yeah you know a lot of the people in my group have degrees that you know they were graduates and everything well i mean i've now got to come to the end of this uh but i do want to say things i until recently was a trustee of the ukcp which is the major regulated body and my last board meeting yesterday and we were talking about exactly what we're talking about here is how can we change the psychotherapy trainings to reflect what's happening in the culture and society today as a major major vehicle for change in the psychotherapeutic world and really in a way that's what this is talking about i need to get that book and i need to read it yeah yeah oh you need to read yeah yeah it sounds really interesting so thank you so much bob for letting me be a part of this this is book review number one and there's going to be many more to come thank you thank you very much thank you so much [Music] you | Bob Cooke |

rg-JZIp_cDE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg-JZIp_cDE | Romans Part 59 - OUR SOVEREIGN GOD | hi this is Steve ant bless I hope forever sometimes what we preach puts us in the doghouse [Music] [Applause] [Music] gracious Heavenly Father I just come into your presence once again by means of our Lord Jesus Christ and in the Holy Spirit thankful for the opportunity that you've given us to continue to fellowship together in your word to feast upon to bask in the wonders of your grace under staffs that you would filter out all the foolishness would seal to our hearts that which is truth and only truth which in Christ's name I pray Oh Mia I'd like to begin by reading the last five verses of 2nd Peter chapter 3 where for below it seemed that you look for such things be diligent that you may be found of him in peace without spot and blameless and account that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you as also in all of his epistles speaking in them of these things in which are some things hard to be understood which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest as do also the other scriptures unto their own destruction ye therefore beloved seeing you know these things before beware lest ye also being led away with the error of the wicked fall from your own steadfastness but grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ to whom be glory both now and forever I'm in and we are studying together in the Epistle to the Romans verse by verse and in our last study together we were in the areas of verse 19 of chapter 9 romans chapter 9 verse 19 [Music] now I hear all kinds of opinions on the sovereignty of God God is sovereign that means that he created the hands in the earth and he created you so that you are sovereign and now we have two sovereigns in the universe our only source of evidence and authority is the Word of God if God is not absolutely completely sovereign supremely sovereign over every single my new detail of your life then your theology collapses if that's what you believe then this that has ruined the entire basis of your biblical theology let's just say that God is not sovereign then all things don't work together for your good if God is not sovereign then something can separate you from the love of God if God is not sovereign then someone can bring a charge against you then you are not made righteous and the truth that much of Christianity today holds dear becomes useless if God is not sovereign if man indeed holds the final trump card if he has the ultimate say and how the course of human history is determined then the promise is not absolutely certain to all the seed if God is not sorry then you cannot know the peace that passes all understanding if God is not sovereign you cannot know the joy that's unspeakable if God is not sovereign you cannot rest in fact if God is not sovereign much of the hallowed beliefs of Christianity cannot be true the only way in the world that we could go through Chapter eight in the book of Romans is that God is absolutely sorry I don't know why Christians rebelled so much against the sovereignty of God Jonathan Edwards wrote that early in his Christian experience he hated any concept of the sovereignty of God and the more he studied the scriptures the more he came to realize that he was not only true but essentially it was essential to Christianity and in his later years it became the great source of his joy his rest his peace and his trust and I declare to you that if in any way you believe that man is sovereign in any area of his life then the great truths of Christianity are not yours you cannot know them and now the issue we are being forced to confront at this point in our study is that God is even sovereign over sin and that seems to be a hollow area in the lives of Christians oh that cannot be I tell you dearly beloved and I believe it's based on the Word of God that no sin has touched your life they did not go through a sovereign plan of God if you want to worship of God it was not God I mean I suppose that's your choice but it won't change the fact there for he hath mercy on whom he will have mercy and whom he will he hardens and you will read article after article but attempts to prove that God did not harden Pharaoh's heart but it was that God was simply letting Pharaoh do what Pharaoh wanted to do when there was one reason why God raised Pharaoh up and that was to show his power in him now does he have that right why don't you argue that with God don't argue it with me and we come to our verse therefore thou wilt say unto me and there are areas of scripture that gender a question and I suggest it to you that if if you are properly teaching the truth of Scripture these are questions that will come back if you are properly teaching God's sovereignty thou will say unto me why does he find fault for who can resist his will a good answer is nay but o man who are you who replies against God I wouldn't do that how many times I've heard people say well if God be just then this is not possible or that is not possible listen there is no gift there is absolutely no question God is just what God does is right why did he raise up Pilate to condemn Christ not what Pilate wanted to do but it's what Pilate did by the determinant for ordination and counsel of God they but o man who art thou that replies against the god god and that verse is articulated there's only one God no matter how much people rebelled against it we worship the God of truth there is no god but the god of the Scriptures there are not many religions and many approaches to God I'm not me traditionally I'm not in the habit of mentioning names but I'm going to hear Joel Osteen may be the largest Protestant Church in the United States his sermons are seen by over 7 million viewers weekly and over 12 million monthly in over 100 countries but it is a it is popularly wrong we worship the God of truth why do you reply against the God now look at the sovereignty look at it in the text shall the thing formed say to him that formed it why did you make me this way there are no you can note there are three answers why does he get fined fall for who has resisted his will the first one is who are you that replies against God shall thing formed say to him that formed it why hast thou made me thus you didn't make yourself now you may subscribe to some kind of foolish spot there were self-made men and self-made women it is God who gives the ability to make wealth and many a wealthy person I've talked to can there's a to be their ability to invest into design and devise but God is the one who gives the ability to make wealth God is the one who makes the blind the deaf the Dom the hearing God is the one who kills and makes the life God is the one who does whatsoever he pleases both in heaven and in the earth and in all dark places and deep places these are all passages of Scripture you're going to reply against God he's the one that formed you you didn't form yourself you didn't make yourself shall the thing formed say to the one that formed it and that's an Erised why has thou made me thus in another chapter two chapters we're going to read all the depth of the wisdom and knowledge of God how unsearchable Arya's ways if they're unsearchable they're not known why can't I rest confidently in the fact that he made me what I am know if I had just done this or oh if I just done that oh if I hadn't made that decision or this decision oh if I had just gone this way and I talked to a theistic Christians everyday that's what they are there's not a guy who directs their lives through holds them in the hollow of his hand who likes their candle bottles their tears that was the way that they take and when he's tested them they will come forth as gold even among those they're eagerly await for him to appear oh if I hadn't done this or hadn't done that and they live in what I call Christian atheism he formed you the question is not why he made you that way but to rest in the sovereign grace of the Almighty God doesn't he have power over the clay of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour and another unto dishonour and oh boy have we touched a boil I would have served that you consider yourselves products of the Reformation let me tell you very bluntly that the bulk of modern Christianity is Romanism and I don't mean by that the Roman Catholic Church I mean most of the Christians I talked to the referent the Reformation says that you are redeemed by the faithfulness of the Lord Jesus Christ and that as a redeemed person you'll believe you do not become redeemed by believing you are not born again because you believe you may read it on the internet page after page after page you know once one accepts Christ he becomes a new creation in Christ Jesus and the very inference is that the depraved incapable spiritually did individual can accept Christ the Reformation know you are redeemed because you are born by the sovereign will of God and as other redeemed creation you can believe accept and receive my sheep hear my voice not only that God not only redeemed his own but he reprobated the rest ouch yep he formed one vessel unto honour and another unto dishonour this is what the text clearly says and Christians you would think that you had stuck him with the cattle prod when you tell them popular opinion is that after the fall you know we now have a fallen creation and in that God chose some to redemption some to reprobation or he at least left them to reprobation you know reprobation he didn't have to do anything because they were already falling but your bible is telling you that you were chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world you were elected in Christ before man fell that's what your Bibles telling God made one man punt to honour and another unto dishonour if you don't like that I guess your cases with God the Scriptures declare it to be true hath not the Potter power over the play the end the answer is entirely obvious absolutely he can grab that lump of clay and fashioned a beautiful vessel or something that is terribly ugly that's up to him you ask does he have any right who questions is right what we know is what God has told us the only God we know is the God of Revelation not of God that we made up if God be God he wouldn't do this or he wouldn't do that how did you know that and yet I believe most Christians believe in a God which they had designed when I talked to people who were avowed atheists I find that that they don't believe in the God that they designed well I don't believe in him either the only God I know is the god of this book if these things aren't true it's up to you to search the Scriptures daily to see whether or not they be true doesn't God have the power over the clay of the same lump and P say Oh oh yeah yeah but but bear in mind Steve that was a fallen lump it's fallen clay if the putter didn't do anything with it it's it's all dishonor that isn't what the text says it says he had to make a vessel of dishonor and he had to make a vessel of Honor I believe God sovereignly decreed this before he ever created the heavens and the earth and I suggested before I do not believe gods in heaven making decisions God decreed and that's it before the world's began he decreed and he decreed everything that's touched your life if he didn't do that he's not sovereign and you cannot possibly tell me you do not believe in the sovereignty of God and yet you believe all things work together for your good you can't tell me that you believe in the sovereignty of God and yet you believe nothing can separate you from the love of God these those are oxymorons the reason nothing can separate you from the love of God is because God is sovereign the reason everything works together in your life for your good is because God is sovereign the reason he knows the way that you take is because he is sovereign and he's laid out that way he formed some vessel Stonor and sunday dishonor and we come to an interesting verse it's the first one in the Bible it talks about why God created I don't know how many articles I've read where people have sat down and surmised why God created you know he created this you know he created for this or that reason or the other thing there are as far as I know only seven glimpses in Scripture of why God originally did what he did and this is the first one what if God willed to show his wrath against sin to make his power known endured with much long-suffering vessels of having been perfectly fitted in past time for destruction bear in mind this follows verse 21 where he made some vessels unto honor and some unto dishonour and now what if God will to show his wrath he made one that was a value to him and long there was of no value to him he's patient he endures with patience or long suffering in situations in in in situations he controls you and I we endure in situations that we don't control it's a different word in the text but that word can't be used of God this word is macro famiiy a-- or macro the--my tamiya he endures in situations that he does control so he is in that situation by his own design by his own sovereignty and he controls it so he's gonna make his wrath known against these vessels of dishonor does he have a right to do that you question him not me I believe absolutely that my god is righteous and that he has a right to do anything he considers to be righteous other than that I believe he's done that I don't see God saying oh wow that happened I'll have to I have to change my plan and you know I didn't know that that was gonna happen we know in the Old Testament when he fought for Israel he rained meteorites down from heaven when he created the heavens and the earth he put them there and they were up there in orbit around God knows how long just because he hadn't ready for that one single battle I want you to know this book reveals a great God and he's making his wrath in power loan against vessels fin for destruction it is just absolutely incomprehensible to most people that I talked to that God a God of love a wishy-washy God who sits in them in a rocking chair you know and and wishes certain things would happen you know could ever make of that a vessel fitted for destruction how would God show his wrath against sin if there weren't sin and how would you ever know how much God was angered by sin unless we saw the consequences of it in the death of his son now we find that he willed to make known the riches of his glory on vessels of Mercy which he also had a for prepared unto glory there's a difference an interesting difference the vessels fitted for destruction is a perfect passive the vessels prepared unto glory is an heiress and I think there's a world of meaning and that change there's a difference between verse 22 and 23 and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ that that prepared under glory is vested in the finished work of Jesus Christ even us from whom he has called not of the Jews only but also the Gentiles now a ye brethren as Isaac was are all children of promise folks think of think of that as Isaac was promised to Abraham years before he was born as a true son not now signed by some scheme but a true son of Abraham and Sarah so you were promised to Christ as a true son before the world get your children of promise even us whom he's called not of the Jews only but also of the Gentile the call isn't that that you did something that you accepted Christ the call is that which took place before the foundation of the world that you would hear and respond to him in due time in fact his timing because you are chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world before the world began I think there's a great difference in God sovereignly directing your life and God making you a robot I don't think you're a robot I think you actually do what you think you want to do I think you all do what you want to do and that's the problem with the word four wheels if you look it up in the dictionary it means desire what do you do you do the thing that you desire the most folks if I engineered a situation where I knew exactly what you were gonna do and I engineered and you did it did you do something that you didn't want to do no you did exactly what you wanted to do you weren't a robot but in actual fact behind the scenes you were directed by the sovereign power of the Almighty God in her finger oh well I should say enter every person ever mentioned in the word god no allow me to go one step further every person's ever created no-nobody folks can escape the sovereign will of God and and I am NOT a fatalist I believe God so engineers my desires so that my desires or what he determined to be done now I know that this is difficult I know that these passages and we're going through are very difficult for a lot of people I don't have all the answers all I have is the Bible in my Bible says that God directs my steps that God has decreed that all things work together for my good no matter what decision I make God has decreed that it works together for my good I've used the illustration before you know standing out down by the bottom the river the creek was straight a stream somewhere where the water is flowing in one direction work you know which can be seen is the will of God the water flowing in one direction think of that as the we look up the determinant will or go blowing in one direction in all of the the sand rocks the pebbles all the sediment all the debris along the bank of that stream that is caught up and swept off in that current are all the decisions that you and I make but those decisions cannot in any way alter the direction of that current we serve a mighty God but God loves y'all I truly do this is Steve thanks for watching you | Blessed Hope Forever | UCttPPOQFgcC6FuVnJV0S2Rg | 2019-04-28 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 3,462 |

emFHZZF7Cok | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=emFHZZF7Cok | Ask the Expert - Parenting a Defiant Child: Won’t? Or Can’t? | [Music] so this slide presentation here is about parenting your defiant child and um and uh the question is is it that they won't do something or that they can't do something and how do you tell and how do you handle it so today we're going to talk about the shift from feeling calm to feeling threatened and back to calm we're going to talk about bottom-up versus top-down behaviors and we're gonna have some strategies for how to help kids shift from feeling threatened back to feeling calm okay we're gonna start with how your body respond responds to a feeling of being threatened i always have some caveats when i present this because we're learning that um you know people used to talk about the lizard brain the mammalian brain and the human brain and then they shifted to talking about survival brain emotional brain and thinking brain and they talked about these different centers of the brain now we know that these are actually networks in the brain but i find it a useful metaphor for thinking about different phases of self-regulation so let's start with what what we call the survival brain the brain stem and the cerebellum are very old parts of the brain and they are in charge of keeping us alive basically if they feel like your body or your your body i guess is in in danger of being not alive that you need to figure out a way to stay alive and so you sort of have three options one is fight and if that's not going to work run away and if neither of those are going to work then freeze is basically a shutdown of your system so that you can dissociate from feeling pain if something horrible happens um the emotional brain is the in what used to be called the mammalian brain um people used to think it was the limbic system but like i said it's a network in the brain but it's where emotions and memories and habits um are processed and these are responsible for instinctually based decisions so these are um things that you have learned like when you go outside and it's sunny maybe you'll need to squint your eyes in order to be able to see or something like that um these are decisions that you make about how to respond to the world and you have a little more control over them based on your previous experiences the last part of the brain that we're going to talk about is the thinking brain and this is the neocortex so the outer part of the brain and in human beings the neocortex is it's the biggest part of our brain and this is where language and imagination and abstract thought all happen um language imagination and abstract thought do not happen in the emotional brain and they do not happen in the survival brain what happens is when you are calm and regulated all three parts of these brain systems work together you're monitoring for what you need to do to survive you're responding to habitual things in ways that don't require much thought and you're taking in new information and making decisions about how to handle that with your neocortex so all three brain systems are online at the same time basically dan siegel if you go on youtube and type in dan siegel's hand model of the brain you will see a lovely video of a brain and i'm going to describe to you what this gif is supposed to be doing which is you can think of this model of the brain as your hand and when your fingers represent the neocortex your thumb which is wrapped inside your fingers represents that limbic system the emotional brain and then your wrist and um you know the base of your hand those are uh the the the survival brain and what happens is uh dan siegel talks about flipping your lids so you you can lift your fingers up off of your palm so that your thumb is showing and so what that says is you know you detect some threat your neocortex that thinking part of your brain the creative part of your brain goes offline leaving only the emotional and memory processing habitual responses and the survival brain if you get further dysregulated that emotional and memory processing stuff goes offline and you're left only with survival brain which is fight flight or freeze and they come back online in the same order so if you are in fight flight or freeze um then your limbic system or that that emotional brain the ability to process habitual things and so on comes back online and then the neocortex comes back online so that everything's working together so it's a really nice metaphor um for teaching your kids this idea of you know this hand model of the brain this is a um a graph of how dysregulated a kid or an adult might be over time so going up and down on this axis is how disregulated you are and then going across from left to right is the prevention strategies and time so what happens is um you start out in the teachable moment so for example um you know everything's going fine your all three parts of your brain are working together everything's going great you're able to understand what people are saying to you're able to think creatively about how to solve problems and so on and then where that first dotted line comes in all of a sudden um something happens and you start rumbling or your kid starts rumbling so you know when all three parts of the brain are online everybody's calm and happy but then something happens and you start feeling better your kid starts feeling bad that's because you've flipped your lid okay so that that neocortical region has gone offline and the emotional brain has come online so it was online before but it's it's the one that's running the show if as a parent you can figure out what triggered the thinking brain to go offline and address it your child will calm back down and they'll go back into being able to process language and you know think creatively about how to solve problems and so on but if you cannot figure out what happened then they're going to get more and more dysregulated until they pro pass that second dotted line there which i call the point of no return at this point the emotional brain goes offline and you shift into survival brain and the survival brain is fight flight or freeze and the person who came up with this this idea this rumble rage cycle is a woman named brenda smith miles and she has a book called high functioning autism and difficult moments and while she originally came up with this for autistic kids it turns out it pretty much applies to all human beings um and so uh so anyway the she talks about the rage you know where you are literally in fight flight or freeze mode that's survival brain okay the rage can last you know 30 seconds or it can last for some kids days when you're in survival brain there's no rational thought happening whatsoever um if you as the parent can avoid re-triggering um anything then eventually they're going to get through the rage and start calming down and that emotional brain will come back online and they'll shift past that third dotted line into what's called recovery during this phase kids often feel terrible about what happened during the rage because they often say or do very hurtful things during the rage and as they move into recovery then that emotional brain comes online and they're either so embarrassed by what happens that they want nothing to do with anybody and so they go hide and they don't want to talk to you they don't want to do anything or they want comfort they want to know that even though they just did these horrible things they actually really um need to to know that you still love them even though they lost control like that and if you can avoid you know re-triggering anything then you'll go past that last dotted line and the thinking brain will come back online and then all parts of the brain will be working and then you can talk about what's going on so what works during each of these phases um so you know i talked about the different areas of the brain that are the different systems in the brain that are active at those different times and because of what's going on during that then different strategies work at different points in the cycle so when all three brain regions are working fluidly together then you can brainstorm and think about what you might do so this is one reason we talk to parents about anticipating situations that are going to be difficult for a child to navigate so for example my son does not like loud concerts at all and we used to love going to music festivals and um we would wanted him to share that with us but he does not like that he does not enjoy that it is very overwhelming to him but outside of the moment we could say to him hey we're gonna we're thinking of going to a music festival tomorrow you know what do you think we could do about that and we can brainstorm about it and think about you know maybe you should wear noise-canceling headphones maybe you could wear earplugs you know maybe you could um not go um so these are all options but you know they can think and so on because all three parts of their brain are working fine and likewise after something's over they might be able to talk about what happened uh during that that that led to the meltdown um so uh during during the rumble the thinking brain has gone offline and one of the things that parents very often do during that phase is they will start talking to their kid hey i see you're losing it you know you need to get in control what's going on can you tell me what's happening please you know like let's figure something out but their creative problem-solving brain has gone offline and their ability to understand what you're saying has gone offline and by the way that's a physiological thing so um your middle ear actually the ear canal like uh constricts and sound can't get in um when you shift into the rumble and the rage uh so it's actually harder to hear what people are saying it sounds like it's a million miles away um if you've ever been that dysregulated or remember being that dysregulated then you you remember like sound sounds like it's coming from very far away um so the um then when you are in the rage nothing logical is happening at all so you can comfort your kid when they're in the rumble but once they trip over into the rage your ears all you can do is keep everyone safe so sometimes that means like locking yourself in the bathroom or you know i don't know what but uh you know keeping sharp things away from them things like that so your your goal during a rage is to keep everyone safe because there is nothing rational happening there and there are no habits or you know emotional soothing that's going to work during rage you really just have to keep everyone safe then you know again during recovery comforting may work they may also want to hide um and so you need to respect that but you know comforting is is a good thing to try because that emotional brain has come back online and then eventually you get back into that thinking works part so one thing to remember is that um you know i talked about the rumble and very often when i talk about the rumble parents say to me um my kid doesn't have a rumble they go from being fine to being completely bananas and i don't have any uh idea that it's coming and this can happen for two reasons so one thing that can happen is they can start rumbling but they're trying to hold it together right so they're trying trying so hard to hold it together and figure out how to um you know how to uh not you can fly into a rage or whatever and then at some point they just can't hold it together anymore and blammo there you go so that's one thing that can happen the other thing that can happen is that that rumble like a a reaction a big reaction can be triggered without a warning so what you'll find is something happens the kid feels upset they feel like somebody's upset with them or they feel like um they've disappointed someone or you know they they feel like somebody doesn't like them for some reason and they can also just go from zero to 50 in no no time at all so that's what this would look like there's hardly any rumble and then there's a long rage and then eventually move back through recovery in a teachable moment so that can be very hard to navigate i find an adhd that this often happens where there's a flash so this quote i have here because what happens is kids are not really always able to tell you what's going on inside their head they can't tell you that they're starting to get upset the only way they have to communicate with you is you know their body starts getting disregulated and you're looking at it happening and you're thinking uh oh something's wrong so one of the i always say one of the biggest jobs of growing up is learning to to know in your body that you're about to lose it or that you're getting upset or know what upsets you and figure out how you're going to self-regulate through that upsetness so we talked about kids on those last ones but there's also the parents who have their own rumble rage cycle and brenda smith miles uh has on this graph she has that adult curve which you can see the child curve is the top one the adult curve is the one in the middle and you know one of the things that she she talks about is that if you as the adult can stay calm while your child is losing it they will calm down much faster um so they sort of uh take in your energy this is very very hard to do because as as human beings we are wired to respond in kind to the emotions that are coming at us from our kids so you know the kids you know are flying through the rumble rage and guess what you as the parent are going to have your own rumble rage but i think most parents know if they can manage somehow to stay calm through that their kids do calm down faster and that's because you know just as you are mirroring their emotions they also mirror your emotions so if you can stay as calm as possible while your child is is going through the rumble rage and recovery cycle they're going to calm down faster i like to joke that i would be a better mom if i were a robot because then i could stay perfectly calm but it's very very hard to do partly because we're wired that way so here are some strategies you can use to think about how to help your child calm down in the moment so the first one is uh be the thermostat not the thermometer i learned this from jackie flynn who is a therapist um in i don't know where she's located actually but anyway she's an amazing therapist and uh and you know she talks about how if you're a thermometer you're reacting to the temperature the emotional temperature around you and you're reflecting precisely what's going on around you so if your kid's losing it you're losing it too but if you think about what a thermostat does when the temperature starts to go up then you turn on the air conditioning and cool it down and so you figure out how to you know stay calm yourself so your child can stay calm and so the idea is you make adjustments to what you're doing to help your child make adjustments so you want to be that thermostat and not the thermometer last but not least here we have the child versus the parent sometimes you as the parent are going through your own rumble rage here in the blue line and your kid calms down and you're still rattled you're still feeling really not clear about you know you're having big feelings maybe you're upset about what happened while they were in the rage and so you're taking a longer time to calm down than they do this is particularly problematic when kids come to you while you're still feeling very disregulated and say that they want um you know to be they want to know that you still love them and you're not necessarily feeling very loving in that moment and that can be very very difficult um and i've learned in those moments to say to my kids you know what i'm still kind of upset about what happened back there i just need some time to chill out and calm down and then i can talk to you all right now we want to talk about the idea of bottom-up versus top-down behaviors and this is getting into this can't versus won't so when we talk about top-down versus up behaviors a lot of times when our kids have a big reaction like that we can interpret it as them trying to make something happen that they want to happen so uh you're in the grocery store and they have candy when you're checking out and your kid wants candy so they pitch a fit so you'll buy candy because you don't want to be embarrassed in the grocery store and they know if they lose it they can get a candy bar and they'll be happy that is an example of what we call top-down behavior where you make a conscious decision to behave in a particular way and and then you behave that way and then you get something that you want so this is uh this is this is when a kid does something and you're saying they won't do something you know they refuse to do their homework they are not doing something because they don't want to or because they want to get something that's a top-down kind of behavior the other kind of behavior is bottom-up behavior bottom-up behavior is when your body goes through this cycle that i just described of shifting from all the brain regions being online to you know through losing control of your thinking brain to losing control of your emotional brain to being guided fully by your fight flight or freeze system that is bottom up behavior that's behavior that is driven by something biological you're feeling threatened you're feeling like you can't do something and you just have this big reaction that is a bottom-up behavior and it is not designed to get something you want so the top-down thinking is thoughtful and slow and rational hmm i think i might want that candy bar over there it's deliberate and intentional if i scream really loud right now my mom's gonna be really embarrassed and she'll let me have that candy bar so that she won't be embarrassed by the fact that i'm screaming um and if it's a top-down behavior you as the parent can say before you go into the grocery store something like hey we've got chocolate ice cream at home if you can hold it together you know in the grocery store and help me out with everything then when we get home we can have as much chocolate ice cream as you want or whatever that is a behavior modification strategy you're asking them to behave in a particular way and they are able to use their thinking brain to uh you know decide how they're going to respond to a particular situation this is contrasted to bottom up thinking which is reactive and automatic so if um somebody is making you do something you're scared of um so maybe jump into a swimming pool and you don't know how to swim okay so a bottom up behavior would be reactive or automatic okay so if somebody pushes you into the pool right you're gonna have this automatic reaction of becoming dysregulated it is instinctual it is unintentional and it is a survival based stress response so you're going to shift into maybe emotional brain or straight into fight flight or freeze right because you need to make sure you don't drown in the swimming pool um bottom up behaviors respond to understanding and compassion and helping the individual feel safe so if somebody pushes you into the pool and somebody else comes over and grabs you and swims with you to the side of the pool so you don't drown and keeps your head above water like you will feel better and you will not be as upset as you were before but if somebody says to you you can't swim i'm going to push you into the pool and if you don't lose it then i will give you chocolate ice cream later that's not going to work because it is ruled by your emotional brain and your you know safe you know your brain that that your survival brain that keeps you alive so then the question is when you have a kid who is not doing something that you think needs to be done the question is is it can't which is you know they can't do it and so they're feeling upset about it versus they won't do it um skill you know so if you can't do something then maybe you don't have the skills you don't know how to swim right versus will i you know if they they won't go swimming because they're mad at you or something like that but they are actually really good swimmers that's a won't situation so one thing that we want to do is we want to think about behaviors as if they are can't and trying to think about what are the skills that are missing so in this view of the world and ross green is one of my big heroes um he has this quote he wrote a wonderful book called the explosive child which i did not read because my older child was not explosive and then when my younger child came along and he was very explosive i read it and i thought oh my goodness i should have read this book one for my other kid because he's a freezer and my younger son is definitely a fighter or a runner but anyway he has a book called raising human beings to address that issue that i had where i did not read his book because i didn't think i had an explosive child but anyway this quote he has is challenging behavior is just a signal the fever the means by which the kid is communicating that he or she is having difficulty meeting an expectation the model here is that kids are doing well if they can so so if your kid can swim and you push them into the pool they will not lose their marbles but if they cannot swim if they are missing that skill then they're going to have a rough time and the fact of the matter is that parents are trying their best to and sometimes we have a hard time holding it together ourselves and sometimes we don't know how to help our kids um so that that's you know give yourself some grace there we're all doing the best we can so now that you have this concept down of skill versus will and you've got this idea of can't versus won't top down versus bottom up behaviors and then this idea of the rumble rage cycle let's talk about how to help your kid so the first thing that i like to do is i like to remember that my child is not giving me a hard time my child is having a hard time and by the way that might even be true for the kid in the supermarket who wants that candy bar they're having a hard time they are not sitting there thinking how can i embarrass my mom or dad the most they're thinking um i'm frustrated i'm upset i'm having a hard time okay and this um my friend penny williams who is my co-conspirator on the the behavior revolution this is one of her favorite parenting state uh sayings and it really helps me to keep this in mind when my kids are losing it they are having a hard time it's not aimed at me they're not trying to be little boogers they're just having a rough time all right so now we're going to talk about ways to help your child calm down and i talked about this idea of if your child was going through the rumble rage and you are mirroring what's happening to them um you are co-escalating with them right so you are reacting to them and you are modeling to your children just what you don't want them to do so we say to them you need to calm down except we're shouting at them you know you need to calm down and it's kind of not helpful because basically you're modeling the fact that you can't stay calm and that's very very hard i believe me i understand that it's hard to to do that but what it does is it actually adds fuel to the intensity and it just makes them more and more dysregulated um because they think you cannot handle their big emotions so co-regulation is what i was talking about earlier when i said you as a parent can make the decision to try to stay calm so being a calm parent is modeling for your child how you want them to behave so if you can just take a deep breath and think okay my kid is losing it i'm gonna be okay i'm just gonna stay calm here you are modeling for them what you want them to do you want them to also be calm right you are also offering calm for your child to attune to so your child can um connect with that feeling of calm that they feel coming from you as and that will dampen the fire as opposed to adding fuel to the fire which is what happens when you co-escalate another strategy that can be very helpful in co-regulation is moving in a way that gets your your child moving with you so an example of this is when you have a little baby and a baby is crying one of the first things we do is we will start rocking as parents you might you know if you're standing up you might rock back and forth you might take a walk um you'll note that both of these things are rhythmic movements that um and the child is moving with you even though you're holding them next to you they're moving with you and these are very calming things so you know this this is one that it just depends on your kid co-regulation works better when your kid is in emotional brain once they're in you know the rage or or just you know survival brain co-regulation is a little harder to implement because you might get hurt but if you can catch them um while they're rumbling or during recovery doing something like rocking with them or you know holding their hands swinging back and forth things like that um you know telling a kid let's go for a walk together that's a wonderful way to sort of interrupt a rumble when it starts happening but this moving together and using rhythm is a form of co-regulation and it's very helpful for de-escalating a child who's upset the next thing is you want to help your child feel safe okay so when your child starts to lose it if you can face them and not look away um then that is something we do when we're not feeling threatened by other people so if your kids having a big reaction one of the things you might do is turn your head away and kind of move back from them right if they're starting to have a big reaction sort of you know move away right and what that does is it sends the message to them that you're not feeling safe and that because they're co-regulating with you then they feel less safe so you want to try to face them and make sure that your body and your face are communicating acceptance and caring so the message here is um you know you my child may be very out of control right now but i your parent am calm and i am here for you you want to convey that message to your kid so make sure your body and your face are communicating acceptance and caring you want to if you talk remember they really can't understand anything you're saying so you want to speak quietly and melodically this sounds counter-intuitive but you know one reason people talk to babies in a sing-song voice oh how are you oh you feel bad now right that's that's using um more pr it's called prosody but it's the melody and rhythm of language and what happens is as as a kid moves through the stages of dysregulation you have to step up those cues that of of calm in your voice so you're going to speak in that more melodic way that they can tune into the acoustics of that even if they can't hear the words that you're saying you want to move using gentle fluid gestures maybe reaching out to them um communicating that that you know i i can give you a hug if that's what you want right now the idea is you didn't do anything wrong your kid wants to feel like they didn't do anything wrong and their body responded as it's wired to do the other thing you want to do is maybe change the environment so you know if there's soft music with ranging vocal melodies this is why you know when i you may uh find that they play music for example in grocery stores because they're trying to keep people from rioting about not finding their favorite mac and cheese i don't know um but you know you change the environment so soft music with ranging vocal melodies actually triggers the parts of the brain um that that uh thinking brain and the emotional brain to come back online and you also want to dampen any low frequency sounds so it turns out that you know i talked about the middle ear constricting earlier and um what happens is that that amplifies the low frequency sounds which is something that happens when you are being threatened so if the lion is roaring at you or the thundering elephant is running at you there are these big low frequency boom boom roar sounds and those trigger a feeling of discomfort in us now one of the things i i feel compelled to say and it's not fair but it is a thing is that some people just naturally have you know big booming voices and i see this happen with dads a lot of the time where they um they are you know trying to talk to their kid and they just have big booming voices and their kids feel threatened by them this is not fair it is not fair it is but if you can try to figure out a way to sort of make your voice more melodic and less choppy that's one way to address that but just be aware that kids become hypersensitive to these low frequency sounds the idea here is you want to help your child feel calm and safe you are expressing empathy so i was mentioning going to uh you know music festival or something like that um then you know you want to be empathetic and responsive oh right we're here at this music festival i forgot yet again that you really do not like the loud music at all and i feel terrible about that that i forgot that and i know it makes you upset so that's being empathetic you know i i know you are feeling upset because it's loud here you want to have those engaging facial expressions so you know think about you know how can you look inviting the expression on your face should be inviting and not mad or freaked out or any other way your face might look that would communicate to your child that that you don't feel safe and therefore they should not feel safe i mentioned that tone of voice so that soothing tone of voice inviting and slow pace so that's the other thing is often if a kid is getting upset they start moving more quickly and their body you know motions may be jerkier and if we're responding in kind that may happen to our emotions as well but in what you actually want to do is slow down so you're communicating this feeling of calm and slow pace that you have time to get through this if the child has shifted all the way into freeze which is the deepest state of dysregulation you can use that exaggerated prosody that i was talking about in the last slide the oh i see you're really upset you know so so that's exaggerated prosity another thing to remember is behaviors don't happen in isolation so every behavior has an antecedent and every behavior has a consequence so the example in this slide is a kid is asked to write and maybe they don't have the skill to write so maybe your kid has trouble with handwriting maybe their handwriting looks really sloppy compared to their peers so they're embarrassed by it they get asked to write and so they avoid it so maybe you know the teacher says okay now we're gonna write in our journals or we're gonna write you know a few sentences or something like that and the kid has a behavior maybe they you know say i'm not going to do this and crumple their paper up and throw it on the ground so that's avoiding writing and a consequence of that might be the teacher says well you're going to go to the principal if you can't behave yourself and that's the child is like yes that's awesome now i don't have to write right so that's like an example of getting out of writing so the behavior of crumpling up the paper and throwing it on the ground is is actually serving a purpose here which is to get them out of writing so thinking about what's triggering a behavior either the thing you know asking you to use a skill you don't have or a consequence which is that you don't have to do the thing you don't want to do those are both things that can you know trigger behavior so thinking about what's going on in the kids mind that is making them behave that way can also help you get to the bottom of how to help them alright so here are some ways to create calm in yourself so that you can try to stay calm okay so creating calm here um one thing is uh do a reality check so if you assume that the child is not being willful or stupid or lazy then but rather that they're having a hard time so this is the you know that your child is not giving you a hard time they are having a hard time that reality check um can help you um then then you're going to feel calmer the second one is a strategy i call q-tip quit taking it personally this isn't about you this is about your kid your own emotions about their behavior don't matter you're trying to help your kid navigate something that they're upset about third thing remember i talked about lagging skills so you want to help them figure out how to develop those skills so that when they encounter a similar situation in the future they they will be able to navigate it more effectively collaborating with your child so ross green talks about collaborative and proactive solutions um in his book and he has really nice framework for that um then you can work with your child even with when they are challenging you so if a kid's having a rough time if you can think okay how can we work together to figure out how to make this work that that will you know end up being more successful and last but not least you're not giving up control by doing this okay you can main maintain control of this situation without yelling or slamming or threatening it's actually more uh impressive if you can control the situation by being very calm and getting everybody through it as calmly as possible last but not least just remember that we're none of us parents or kids are perfect we are all beautifully complex and it's our job to figure out that complexity and marvelously imperfect um the first one is when they're done with their rage is it normal that their child um when they are calmed down and they're at that teachable moment um that they don't forget i mean they that they forgot what happened during that moment of rage oh my goodness yes so sometimes when you ask kids what they remember they don't remember anything they don't remember what happened and um i something i learned from adults who have trouble with emotion control is that very often they experience it as a blackout so they will actually say i literally can't remember anything that happened during the rumble or the rage like they they have no insight into how they behaved and this is why trying to ask them to be rational and to calm down and so on it just doesn't work the part of the brain that processes that is completely offline not everybody loses it to that degree that it's just a blackout but it's definitely a thing and it's definitely um you know if they say they can't remember they really probably can't remember and this is a case where you as a parent are just going to have to start being a detective to figure out those antecedents that might have triggered it this person is wondering about what to do when their child is violent which happens often when he's dysregulated and they have to leave the room more than once for their own safety is there any way to make him feel safe while actually keeping themselves safe boy is that a great question and i i this is highly individual so if the kid is really out of control um and you know flinging furniture and things like that you really may have to just leave the room and let the damage happen i i do find from my point of view as a parent like if i say i can't handle my own emotions right now and i need to leave to stay safe right and then i walk out and i shut the door or lock myself in the bathroom or whatever um and they're gonna wreak havoc like that's just part of what goes on um because anytime you you you try to engage then they're gonna they're gonna have a hard time with that and if you are truly a danger you know the thought of i mean sometimes people are very out of control and they do very hurtful things you know i've had families i've worked with where the kid has you know broken a parent's nose in a rage i've had kids who have really hurt their parents i actually know a mother of an adult who her kid actually killed her in a rage so you have to take these things very seriously now this child was much much bigger than his mother he was an adult and he had a lot of self-control issues younger kids don't have that kind of power so um but you know i think you are right to be concerned and that's why i say keep everyone safe the best thing to do is to sit in the room um and let them process their emotions and you know just sit there being a calm loving presence it is very hard to do that when you feel like your life is in danger and so at that point you just have to say i'm sorry i have to leave right now and and leave but i you know there's no good answer to that one it's just really really hard um next question is from someone who says that they're intrigued by your point about how low frequency sounds can trigger fight or flight response and they're wondering what your view on using binaural beat um is in calming or helping with regulation so that's an awesome question um so uh that the information i i took this out of my presentation because it was too long but there's a whole theory called polyvagal theory um it it was coined first by steven porgis p-o-r-g-e-s i actually don't recommend going to watch any of his presentations and so on because he's he's a researcher and he uses very technical words he's a lovely human being um but it's he can be pretty hard to follow um anyway he has worked with a company called integrated listening systems to develop a protocol which is called the safe and sound protocol and it actually retrains your ears to uh not respond as big as they do um to low frequency sounds like that and so um the that safe and sound protocol is similar so um i believe what you're talking about there there are several of these uh listening therapies out there that are designed to um you know uh retrain your your hearing so that you you process those low sounds differently um i i feel like i need to give a caveat there um that uh um that it it so my kids did some listening therapy before the safe and sound protocol and my older son it was a miracle for him it worked so well like it worked so well that teachers were stopping me in the hallway and saying what did you do to your son that's incredible so when my younger son was so reactive i thought great we'll do the listening therapy it'll be wonderful it had zero impact on him and so it didn't end up working and that's one of my frustrations with listening therapies is that we don't know who they will work for and who they won't work for but the ones they do work for it can be profoundly helpful has coveted made it harder for kids to deal with feelings of frustration oh yeah i don't think there's any way to understate the answer to that it has been really really hard and for a whole lot of different reasons probably the main one is that our kids don't feel safe right and things are very unpredictable like you might have to quarantine tomorrow because somebody in your class exposed you to covet and you have to go home for 10 days and do school a different way or whatever like things are so your teacher may leave in the middle of class because they get a test result i i've heard all sorts of really just really upsetting stories i mean stories of teachers passing out in the class from the stress of what they're dealing with and so for kids that's very unnerving that the adults are having a hard time and guess what we are having a hard time and denying that we're having a hard time actually makes our kids feel less safe because they're like but wait something big is happening here and nobody wants to talk about it but you don't want to give them like you know you don't want to scare your kids you just want to give them enough information the other thing i'll just offer is that online learning is not for everybody now i've seen some kids with adhd who actually did great because this one client she had an exercise bike set up in front of the screen and she was busily bicycling away and then sometimes she'd run around the room she could move around as much as she needed to um during class and she did great during online learning because she didn't feel like she could do that when she was in the classroom but she could do it when she was on screen because nobody cared um but then there are other kids who that online format really did not work for for a whole host of reasons um so i won't go into all that but i'll just say that it was incredibly dysregulating for many children i i have never in all of my life seen such a crisis of mental health as i'm seeing right now in kids it is truly an emergency i have many kids who have ended up in psych hospitals um because they could not handle their big emotions around things plus they're not getting they don't have their friends to be with so they're not practicing you know being with their friends and how to self-regulate while being with your friends which is actually a really great way to learn to self-regulate so it's just been really really hard and this is why the surgeon general issued you know his warning that that we are heading into a mental health crisis it is bad out there so yes covet has made it much worse our son is resistant to the teachable moment after a moment of rage but yeah because he can't deal with uh what happened um so they're wondering if you have any suggestions yeah that's a toughie so my youngest my younger son regularly says either a i don't want to talk about that or b i don't want to talk about my former self that's one of his favorite lines um and it makes it hard to reflect back on you know what happened and it makes it hard to engage him in you know collaboratively problem solving and i've really tried to be you know non-judgmental and just say you were having a hard time it's okay we just need to figure out how to do this he really doesn't want to engage with it and so what i've had to do as a parent is i've just had to be a detective so i have to figure out what is causing the problem for him you know i have an example from many years ago when we were at a party in a house that had no carpeting and no curtains or anything and uh the kids were playing ping pong in the basement and at some point somebody dropped my older son actually dropped a bucket full of ping pong balls on the floor and the ping pong balls bounced all over the place and it was very loud and my younger son ran over to my older son and bit him like broke skin on his arm and i was i was like what happened here so we had to leave the party of course and it was horrible it was just an awful event and i implemented the consequence which was when something like that happens i won't let the kids be alone together without an adult with them for some period of time so i i need his brother to feel safe and so what i said is okay you know if you want to be around your brother then i have to be in the room like you can be in separate rooms or you know you have to have an adult mediating that and a couple of weeks later i realized oh he's really sensitive to sound i think that triggered the fight-or-flight response in him when the ping-pong balls bounced on the floor i still i mean that's been years ago and i still can't talk to him about that but i now know be careful about um you know those loud noises because they really trigger him so yeah i i wish i had some good answers i really do feel your pain it's hard with a kid who and and i do think it's rooted in shame i think they feel a lot of shame and so they they feel like the best way to deal with the shame is to uh pretend it didn't happen um you know and i guess you know maybe when he's 50 he can figure out that it's not his fault but it is his responsibility and he needs to figure out how to how to handle it but yeah there are no easy answers there the the next question is how do you deal with consequences um do you wait until they have totally moved through all of the phases for sure for sure because there's no rational brain so consequences only work if that thinking brain is online right so if they have tripped into the rumble or the rage there are no consequences that are going to work they're out of control they can't control their behavior at that point that is a bottom-up behavior consequences only work on top-down behaviors so if they are behaving that way because they're trying to get something um and and you know they're they're being manipulative then a consequence will work but if it's triggered for some other reason like they cannot do it and they don't know how to tell you they can't do it implementing a consequence is not going to work especially in the middle of a rumble rage um there's a strategy a friend of mine taught me she calls it the big cookie test and the the test is you know if you want to figure out whether your child can or cannot do something offer them a really enormous reward you know like if you write you know a paragraph i will give you a kitten or a big cookie um and if they're able to write the paragraph when you tell them they're going to get this giant reward then you you need to watch how they wrote it so did they write it and it was totally easy and they you know they they just you know knocked it off and they're like okay now i get a big cookie right um then you're you're thinking okay that was definitely a case of they didn't want to do that so that will respond to a consequence that kind of behavior will respond to a consequence however if they did it with and it was really hard for them and they pulled everything together and managed to get through it that means it's hard for them that is genuinely hard for them so implementing a consequence might motivate them to do that hard work but if they don't have the resources to pull it together to get through that they may not be able to do that and then the third outcome of course is that even when they get a kitten they still can't do it then you know that that is definitely a skill they do not have so um you know thinking about that consequences work for kids who are engaging in top-down behavior so many people are asking about other adults in the child's life or maybe the babysitter or you know another parent or teachers um how do you get everybody in their in their world um understanding what they're going through and kind of um helping them go through this process and every so that everybody's on the same page oh that's such a great question and you know something so my kids are older now my kids are 24 and 19 so i've been doing this for a long time and boy at some point you just get so tired of having to educate everybody about what's going on because you're thinking oh my goodness like haven't people figured this out by now and the answer is no they have not and your job is to educate educate educate so finding the resources that you have that will allow you to communicate to them what is going to be helpful for your child that's that's what you need to do the the other thing i'll just if it's a babysitter or somebody who's going to be interacting with your kid on a regular basis you know you can you can talk to them about the rumble rage cycle talk to them about um uh you know actually i have a very much shorter version of this talk it's five minutes on youtube so if you search for rumble rage cycle and sarah wayland you can find a little five minute video about this you might share that with them you know and just have them watch that and say hey this is part of what's going on with my kid um that can be helpful i think also understanding what those uh triggers are for your child so for example if you have a kid who has rejection sensitivity right then you want to say you know if they feel like they've disappointed you that may trigger you know a big response like that and so you know the answer is you have to reassure them that you haven't disappointed them and so on and so understanding what your child's triggers are based on who they are as a kid so for my son i would always say things like you know a really loud noise will definitely make my kid upset so you have to educate them about you know what it is about your kid that that gets them that way and then how to help them if they move into that that can be a process of educating the i feel compelled to say that some people are not educable so you there i've sadly been involved with cases where well-meaning people just don't know how to respond in ways that help your kid in that case you want to talk to a supervisor and ask for help so just say i think these people are trying they just don't have the training they don't know what you know what my kids triggers are they don't know how to respond i do find when you're talking to teachers very often um the teachers are desperate for information to help them figure it out and um so they they want to know like how to help the kids in their classroom and so you know if you can give them some guidance on that that's great if you find they're not receptive to that then you may have to you know reach out to the vice principal and just say hey you know i know you've been working with me on this for a while um but you know i feel like teacher x needs more training and how to handle kids who are having a hard time so um but the answer is you have to educate people and we just keep having to educate them um and i i wish that wasn't true i wish like everybody knew all the things you've just learned about here but unfortunately they don't and that's why i still give presentations because it's really important and our kids deserve deserve adults who understand them [Music] you

recordings are in the public domain for more information or to volunteer please visit librivox.org the eight pillars of prosperity by james allen he who would build both strong and high must first of all dig deep and low so rose the spire against the sky and so doth's skill and knowledge grow so with well ordered strenuousness raise thou thy structure of success preface it is popularly supposed that a greater prosperity for individuals or nations can only come through a political and social reconstruction this cannot be true apart from the practice of the moral virtues in the individuals that comprise a nation better laws and social conditions will always follow a higher realization of morality among the individuals of a community but no legal enactment can give prosperity to nay it cannot prevent the ruin of a man or a nation that has become lax and decadent in the pursuit and practice of virtue the moral virtues are the foundation and support of prosperity as they are the soul of greatness they endure forever and all the works of man which endure are built upon them without them there is neither strength stability or substantial reality but only ephemeral dreams to find moral principles is to have found prosperity greatness truth and is therefore to be strong valiant joyful and free james allen end of preface chapter one of the eight pillars of prosperity by james allen this librivox recording is in the public domain one eight pillars prosperity rests upon a moral foundation it is popularly supposed to rest upon an immoral foundation that is upon trickery sharp practice deception and greed one commonly hears even in otherwise intelligent men declare that no man can be successful in business unless he is dishonest thus regarding business prosperity a good thing as the effect of dishonesty a bad thing such a statement is superficial and thoughtless and reveals a total lack of knowledge of moral causation as well as a very limited grasp of the facts of life it is as though one should sew henbane and reap spinach or erect a brick house on a quagmire things impossible in the natural order of causation and therefore not to be attempted the spiritual or moral order of causation is not different in principle but only in nature the same law obtains in things unseen in thoughts and deeds as in things seen in natural phenomena man sees the processes in natural objects and acts in accordance with them but not seeing the spiritual processes he imagines that they do not obtain and so he does not act in harmony with them yet these spiritual processes are just as simple and just as sure as the natural processes they are indeed the same natural modes manifesting in the world of mind all the parables and a large number of the sayings of the great teachers are designed to illustrate this fact the natural world is the mental world made visible the scene is the mirror of the unseen the upper half of a circle is in no way different from the lower half but its sphericity is reversed the material and the mental are not two detached arcs in the universe they are the two halves of a complete circle the natural and the spiritual are not at eternal enmity but in the true order of the universe are eternally at one it is in the unnatural in the abuse of function and faculty where division arises and where man is wrestled back with repeated sufferings from the perfect circle from which he has tried to depart every process in matter is also a process in mind every natural law has its spiritual counterpart take any natural object and you will find its fundamental processes in the mental sphere if you rightly search consider for instance the germination of a seed and its growth into a plant with the final development of a flower and back to seed again this also is a mental process thoughts are seeds which falling in the soil of the mind germinate and develop until they reach the completed stage blossoming into deeds good or bad brilliant or stupid according to their nature and ending as seeds of thought to be again sown in other minds a teacher is a sower of seed a spiritual agriculturalist while he who teaches himself is the wise farmer of his own mental plot the growth of thought is as the growth of a plant the seed must be sown seasonably and time is required for full development into the plant of knowledge and the flower of wisdom while writing this i pause and turn to look through my study window and there a hundred yards away is a tall tree in the top of which some enterprising rook from a rookery hardby has for the first time built its nest a strong northeast wind is flowing so that the top of the tree is swaying violently to and fro by the onset of the blast yet there is no danger to that frail thing of sticks and hair and the mother bird sitting upon her eggs has no fear of the storm why is this it is because the bird has instinctively built her nest in harmony with principles which ensure the maximum strength and security first a fork is chosen as the foundation for the nest and not a space between two separate branches so that however great may be the swaying of the treetop the position of the nest is not altered nor is its structure disturbed then the nest is built on a circular plan so as to offer the greatest resistance to any external pressure as well as to obtain more perfect compactness within in accordance with its purpose and so however the tempest may rage the birds rest in comfort and security this is a very simple and familiar object and yet in the strict obedience of its structure to mathematical law it becomes to the wise a parable of enlightenment teaching them that only by ordering one's deeds in accordance with fixed principles is perfect surety perfect security and perfect peace obtained amid the uncertainty of events and the turbulent tempests of life a house or a temple built by man is a much more complicated structure than a bird's nest yet it is erected in accordance with those mathematical principles which are everywhere evidenced in nature and here is seen how man in material things obeys universal principles he never attempts to put up a building in defiance of geometrical proportions for he knows that such a building would be unsafe and that the first storm would in all probability level it to the ground if indeed it did not fall about his ears during the process of erection man in his material building scrupulously obeys the fixed principles of circle square and angle and aided by rule plumb line and compasses he raises a structure which will resist the fiercest storms and afford him a secure shelter and safe protection all this is very simple the reader may say yes it is simple because it is true and perfect so true that it cannot admit the smallest compromise and so perfect that no man can improve upon it man through long experience has learned these principles of the material world and sees the wisdom of obeying them and i have thus referred to them in order to lead up to a consideration of those fixed principles in the mental or spiritual world which are just as simple and just as eternally true and perfect yet are at present so little understood by man that he daily violates them because ignorant of their nature and unconscious of the harm he is all the time inflicting upon himself in mind as in matter in thoughts as in things in deeds as in natural processes there is a fixed foundation of law which if consciously or ignorantly ignored leads to disaster and defeat it is indeed the ignorant violation of this law which is the cause of the world's pain and sorrow in matter this law is presented as mathematical in mind it is perceived as moral but the mathematical and the moral are not separate and opposed they are but two aspects of a united whole the fixed principles of mathematics to which all matter is subject are the body of which the spirit is ethical while the external principles of morality are mathematical truisms operating in the universe of mind it is impossible to live successfully apart from moral principles as to build successfully while ignoring mathematical principles characters like houses only stand firmly when built on a foundation of moral law and they are built up slowly and laboriously deed by deed for in the building of character the bricks are deeds businesses and all human enterprises are not exempt from the eternal order but can only stand securely by the observance of fixed laws prosperity to be stable and enduring must rest on a solid foundation of moral principle and be supported by the adamantine pillars of sterling character and moral worth in the attempt to run a business in defiance of moral principles disaster of one kind or another is inevitable the permanently prosperous men in any community are not its tricksters and deceivers but is reliable and upright men the quakers are acknowledged to be the most upright men in the british community and although their numbers are small they are the most prosperous the giants in india are similar both in number and sterling worth and they are the most prosperous people in india men speak of building up a business and indeed a business is as much a building as a brick house or a stone church albeit the process of building is a mental one prosperity like a house is a roof over a man's head affording him protection and comfort a roof presupposes a support and a support necessitates a foundation the roof of prosperity then is supported by the following eight pillars which are cemented in a foundation of moral consistency one energy two economy three integrity four system five sympathy six sincerity seven impartiality eight self-reliance a business built upon the faultless practice of all these principles would be so firm and enduring as to be invincible nothing could injure it nothing could undermine its prosperity nothing could interrupt its success or bring it to the ground but that success would be assured with incessant increase so long as the principles were adhered to on the other hand where these principles were all absent there could be no success of any kind there could not even be a business at all for there would be nothing to produce the adherence of one part with another but there would be that lack of life that absence of fiber and consistency which animates and gives body and form to any object whatsoever picture a man with all these principles absent from his mind his daily life and even if your knowledge of these principles is but slight and imperfect yet you could not think of such a man as doing any successful work you could picture him as leading the confused life of a shiftless but to imagine him at the head of a business as the center of an organization or as a responsible and controlling agent in any department of life this you could not do because you realize it's impossibility the fact that no one of moderate morality and intelligence can think of such a man as commanding any success should to all those who have not yet grasped the import of these principles and therefore declare that morality is not a factor but rather a hindrance in prosperity be a sound proof to them that their conclusion is totally wrong for if it was right then the greater the lack of these moral principles the greater would be the success these eight principles then in greater or lesser degree are the causative factors in all success of whatsoever kind underneath all prosperity they are the strong supports and howsoever appearances may be against such a conclusion a measure of them informs and sustains every effort which is crowned with the excellence which men name success it is true that comparatively few successful men practice in their entirety and perfection all these eight principles but there are those who do and they are the leaders the teachers and the guides of men the supports of human society and the strong pioneers in the van of human evolution but while few achieve that moral perfection which ensures the acme of success all lesser successes come from the partial observance of these principles which are so powerful in the production of good results that even perfection in any two or three of them alone is sufficient to ensure an ordinary degree of prosperity and maintain a measure of local influence at least for a time while the same perfection in two or three with partial excellence in all or nearly all the others will render permanent that limited success and influence which will necessarily grow and extend in exact ratio with a more intimate knowledge and practice of those principles which at present are only partially incorporated in the character the boundary lines of a man's morality mark the limits of his success so true is this that to know a man's moral status would be to know to gauge mathematically his ultimate success or failure the temple of prosperity only stands in so far as it is supported by its moral pillars as they are weakened it becomes insecure insofar as they are withdrawn it crumbles away and totters to ruin ultimate failure and defeat are inevitable where moral principles are ignored or defied inevitable in the nature of things as cause and effect as a stone thrown upward returns to the earth so every deed good or bad returns upon him that sent it forth every unmoral or immoral act frustrates at the end at which it aims and every such succeeding act puts it further and further away as an achieved realization on the other hand every moral act is another solid brick in the temple of prosperity another round of strength and sculptured beauty in the pillars which support it individuals families nations grow and prosper in harmony with their growth in moral strength and knowledge they fall and fail in accordance with their moral decadence mentally as physically only that which has form and solidity can stand and endure the unmoral is nothingness and from it nothing can be formed it is the negation of substance the immoral is destruction it is the negative of form it is a process of spiritual denotation well it undermines and disintegrates it leaves the scattered material ready for the wise builder to put it into form again and the wise builder is morality the moral is substance form and building power in one morality always builds up and preserves for that is its nature being the opposite of immorality which always breaks down and destroys morality is the master builder everywhere whether in individuals or nations whether in the world or in the universe morality is invincible and he who stands upon it to the end stands upon in impregnable rock so that his defeat is impossible his triumph is certain he will be tried and that to the uttermost for without fighting there can be no victory and so only can his moral powers be perfected and it is in the nature of fixed principles as of everything finally and perfectly wrought to have their strength tested and proved the steel bars which are to perform the strongest and best uses in the world must be subjected to a severe strain by the iron master as a test of their texture and efficiency before they are sent from his foundry the brickmaker throws aside the bricks which have given way under the severe heat so he who is to be greatly and permanently successful will pass through the strain of adverse circumstances and the fire of temptation with his moral nature not merely not undermined but strengthened and beautified he will be like a bar of well wrought steel fit for the highest use and the universe will see as the iron master his finely wrought steel that the youth does not escape him immorality is assailable at every point and he who tries to stand upon it sinks into the morass of desolation even while his efforts seem to stand they are crumbling away the climax of failure is inevitable while the immoral man is chuckling over his ill-gotten gains there is already a hole in his pocket through which his gold is falling while he who begins with morality yet deserts it for gain in the hour of trial is like the brick which breaks on the first application of heat he is not fit for use and the universe casts him aside yet not finally for he is a being and not a brick and he can live and learn can repent and be restored moral force is the life of all success and the sustaining element in all prosperity but there are various kinds of success and it is frequently necessary that a man should fail in one direction that he may reach up to a greater and more far-reaching success if for instance a literary artistic or moral genius should begin by trying to make money it may be and often is to his advantage and the betterment of his genius that he should fail therein so that he may achieve that more sublime success wherein lies his real power many a millionaire would doubtless be willing to barter his millions for the literary success of a shakespeare or the spiritual success of a buddha and would therefore consider that he had made a good bargain exceptional moral success is rarely accompanied with riches yet financial success cannot in any way compare with it in greatness and grandeur but i am not in this book dealing with the success of the saint or moral genius such being dealt with in other of my books but with that success which concerns the welfare well-being and happiness of the broadly average man and woman in a word with the prosperity of the mass of mankind a success and prosperity which while being more or less connected with money being present and temporal yet is not confined thereto but extends to and embraces all human activities and which particularly relates to that harmony of the individual with his circumstances which produces that satisfaction called happiness and that comfort known as prosperity to the achievement of this end so desirable to the mass of mankind let us now see how the eight principles operate how the roof of prosperity is raised and made secure upon the pillars by which it is supported end of chapter one

6cHUNP6ujfM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6cHUNP6ujfM | Wednesday Bible Study 1 Timothy 4:14-5:8 | but for the church of the eternally secure ces we're continuing to study we are in chapter 4 beginning with verse 14 so get your bibles ready now if you haven't already done that and uh we'll start in just a second here uh i don't see anybody in the chat room yet but uh when you get if you're watching and you're uh you're able to do it uh make a comment in the chat room and say hi okay um all right let me see i don't have any announcements tonight to make tonight but if you do have any prayer requests uh and as the program goes on uh or if you have comments or questions that pertain to the study then please put it in all caps and uh i'll post on the screen so that uh you can participate in that way all right um let's begin the study now oh i see toph is here hello brother nice to see you there okay let's go to chapter 4 verse 14 of first timothy let me read verse 14 in the kjv first it says neglect not the gift that is the that is in thee i should say uh which was given thee by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery uh okay well uh paul is uh reminding him about the time that he was um um what what's the proper word uh let me see let me look at it in the amplified it probably it probably has another way of saying it that do not neglect the gift which is in you that that is that special inward endowment which was directly imparted to you by the holy spirit by prophetic utterance when the elders laid their hands upon you at your ordination okay that's why i was looking for the word ordination um so there was a time where the uh elders of the the church probably maybe not of this congregation but at some point um timothy was ordained into the ministry officially sanctioned and blessed by the church to to take on this work of um leading this church in ephesus uh and so paul is reminding timothy of that time and he says at that time when you were ordained we laid our hands on you and imparted a spiritual gift to you now i don't know what the gift is maybe at some point uh in the letter here the actual uh gift will be uh stated or established but in case you didn't know this well let me say hi to others here now say hi jessie's here and uh william and toph hello everybody thanks for being there thanks for making a comment and let me know you're there yeah okay um now you should know from other studies that um that we've done that every person when they're born again they are not only baptized with the holy spirit which means that the holy spirit enters the believer and brings to life our dead spirit in other words our spirits here like a dead stump or stub i should say i'm trying to make it the camera look like you got a stub up going upward this is my spirit before i was saved when i believe the spirit of god came down and entered me this is the baptism when the the very first moment when the holy spirit enters me and brings my spirit to life now my spirit and the spirit of god is has a connection so i'm connected to god and my spirit's brought to life that's called regeneration that's also known as the first resurrection not the resurrection of our body but the resurrection of our spirit so every believer when we first believe this is what happens but scripture also tells us that at that moment god gives each one of us a particular gift and you can go to this study we did uh i think it's uh uh first corinthians chapter 11 or 12. i did a study recently with brother nori davis on one of the wednesday night programs recently you can go there and look at it but it was the study of spiritual gifts so god imparts a gift to each one of us and it's not necessary for the presbytery which is the uh the leaders of the church to lay hands on you in order to get a spiritual gift but in this case he had a particular role which is um a little to lead this church to pastor the church in in ephesus so the the leaders of the church also decided that of course he had already been endowed and blessed with a spiritual gift but they wanted to impart and pray for god to impart some particular gift to him because he has a particular role of leadership in the church now a greater responsibility so that's what this is talking about this time he's running over the time when they laid the hands on him and now he's saying to them uh paul's saying to timothy remember that time and he says neglect not the gift that is in me which was given thee by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery so he's reminding him to don't neglect it from uh use that gift uh but i don't at this point we don't know what the particular gift is if if it ever i don't know if ever it's actually established okay all right uh let me go to uh then the next verse verse 15 in the kjv it says meditate upon these things give thyself holy to them that thy profiting may appear to all so paul is telling timothy meditate on this and give give yourself holy to them it means put in the time and effort of meditating on this in order to for this gift to be not only manifest but uh obvious to everyone that you're gifted in this particular way and it will everybody will recognize it in you uh let's look at the verse 15 in the amplified and it says practice and cultivate and meditate upon these duties throw yourself holy into them as is your ministry so that your progress may be evident to everybody now you know this is first timothy second timothy and titus these are commonly referred to as the um the pastoral epistles uh paul wrote these three letters to tell timothy and titus to instruct them on how to be a pastor and and particularly the church that they were leading uh so he's saying that you need to uh don't neglect it and in fact meditate on it and and give yourself wholly to it uh oh nathan's here hi brother nathan i hope my voice is better wouldn't be lost without you thank you brother uh my voice is a little bit better today but i've got this thing here this throat spray ready if i need it it's um yeah it's still i'm not over this i don't know if i ever will be actually i've been i basically resigned myself to the with the conclusion perhaps this is going to be a what's called a chronic condition which is not something that just i have to just live with but keep praying for me maybe it won't be chronic maybe it'll be eventually to go away completely but in the meantime do the best i can under the circumstances okay so let's look at now verse 16 in the kjv take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine uh continue in them for in doing this thou shalt both save thyself and them that hear thee okay uh so anthony hi brother nice to see you there too okay uh let's look at that uh verse uh in the uh in the amplified translation verse 16. it says um look well to yourself that is to your own personality and to be yourself don't don't try to be anybody else just be yourself this is the oh by the way when i was talking about the purpose of the book being a pastoral epistle uh we have to remember first oh no yeah nathan nathan says my dad is a permanent call from statins and blood pressure meds yeah well i'm i take the both of those satins and numerous blood pressure medications uh but this this is a new thing uh i've been on these other medications now for years uh but uh this condition is just happened in the last maybe six or seven weeks now i've had it um all right let's while we're at it can't pray for nathan's nathan's dad also okay but i'm i'm saying that we have to always keep in mind uh the the basics about the epistle the the context ask yourselves who what when why where this is like an investigator if you really want to understand and learn and what we really supposed to learn from this epistle or for that matter further any of the epistles for anything that we're reading in the bible who what when where why uh who wrote it the apostle paul wrote it and who did he write to timothy his protege uh and why because it was because timothy is a a a young inexperienced pastor and timothy had already written paul letters saying i need some help i don't know how to deal with this particular problem there's disorder in the church a lot of the women are speaking out out of order and so when did this happen this was happening early on in church history uh a lot of the churches and this is a new concept having a congregation people meeting in people's homes uh small groups of people getting together to to study and learn together and uh it's a new phenomenon so that's the that's the context now this letter was not written to brother luke it wasn't written to brother nathan or any any of us here it wasn't but but we there are things we should learn from this but we have to remember we're we're actually reading other people's mail you think about that you send a letter to somebody and now later on years later the whole world is reading and studying the letter that you sent to somebody uh and and many times these things are misconstrued because they people tend to want to apply you wouldn't do you wouldn't apply another person's letter to uh to two other individuals uh you would when the letter was never sent to you maybe it was not never intended for you to ever even see the letter um this letter of course uh i i don't think timothy actually read this letter to the congregation this is not like the book of romans where paul wrote the book of romans with the purpose of being read to the congregation and he gave it to phoebe and directed her to read it and and exactly how to read it you should see the uh study i did on romans um especially chapters one two and three uh and uh another study i did on the concept called prosopia and then you'll understand that uh um paul gave phoebe these instructions to read it in a particular way and it's important that we understand that this concept approach because this is an oratorical technique that paul used throughout his letters and if you don't understand that you can come to some horribly wrong conclusions you can actually attribute certain things in the scriptures to paul saying that that is paul's teaching and it's paul's viewpoint whereas it's not really at all it's paul is actually putting in a letter the point of view of an opponent so that he can address it and and and confront you saying this is what's being said and i'm gonna and give an answer to you now so uh we have to keep these things in mind uh and so it's a it's a letter not to us but there are things for us to learn in the letter we can learn from uh the experience that happened at uh in this church and i've tried to apply it to us numerous times you heard me say it before uh here we are doing a bible study there's a congregation uh danielle's here hi danielle uh and so we're all here we're not under one roof but we're all connected together through this this internet uh i'm trying to lead the study but uh we're studying a particular thing particular versus in the scriptures we're focusing on what if somebody came into the chat room and you know this happens sometimes someone comes in particularly if they're new here and don't know the rules uh they come in and start want to talk about all kinds of other theological subjects and bring into things that are not that's off topic and that that's what we can learn from this letter to timothy because that's what happened at this church at ephesus they had there were people coming in who were new in the church they weren't they weren't schooled yet in fact many of them particularly the women were very very ignorant about the scriptures because women weren't even allowed to be attend school at that time at that place so because of that there was no order there was confusion going on and and it was things were getting out of control so timothy needed help and that's the point of the letter now so even the letter wasn't to brother luke i can learn from the letter and apply this problem to the problem in the chat room here sometimes where we have someone come in and want to take us off topic and now we can't accomplish what we're trying to do because someone is is uh or trying to redirect the the conversation to something else you cannot be once saved always saved okay jay hankins i'm going to remove your comment and i give you a warning we do not allow anybody to come into our church and teach against the core doctrines the core doctrines are jesus is god almighty here it is i only put it up here for you uh are three dogmas a dogma means we can't tolerate other opinions the dog was our deity of christ salvation through faith alone and eternal security any other theological subject um jay hankins and you can you can disagree with us you can say i see it differently as long as you're polite and respectful about it we can we allow for disagreement on all other subjects these are non-essential things but on these three core doctors these are essential you have to agree so i'm going to remove your comment and warn you now that uh you're uh you're not allowed to come in here and argue against the core doctrines okay if if you can go to watch all our other videos that we made on the subject of eternal security uh here on the church of the eternally secure channel and also on my channel uh brother luke okay so let me uh remove your find that on this and remove it okay here you go i'm going to remove the one comment and there's your warning now jay hankins if you want to stay in the study and and uh continue um listening uh and and uh and ask questions about the topic we're on see you see what happened here this is exactly what was happening in timothy's church you know in a way this is actually a good thing because it can show it shows you what the problem was that timothy was dealing with people coming here and arguing in in timothy's case people are bringing in uh teachings from the uh the other religions of the area uh what's the word uh um for all the different religions of that time i'll think of it in a minute uh and so now we have jay hankins coming here doing the same exactly the same thing and disrupting this study and so um i'm glad that i have paul's instructions to timothy to help me to say to uh jay hankins uh we can't let you come in here and disrupt it you're welcome to be here uh but if you if you can't abide by our rules then i'll have to remove you permanently or indefinitely at least okay all right so uh let me see let me go back to the um the scripture now that we're on we're on verse 16. uh let me look uh at verse 16 in the uh amplified it says look well to yourself to your own personality and your teachings okay so be true to yourself don't try to be somebody you're not don't copy uh another uh pastor's style just be yourself and uh and your teachings the teachings the the doctrine that he's teaching persevere in these things hold to them for by doing so doing you will save both yourself and those who hear you so of course in kjv it uses the word doctrine it says take heed unto thyself and unto the doctrine so you know he said don't let them sway you and get get get you off track you know what the doctrine is you know the gospel don't let these false teachers coming in from other religions and infect the church and take you off course into a false doctrine okay because that's how you got saved timothy that's how other people get saved by you teaching them that's a true gospel message okay okay all right let's go to now the next chapter by the way this is chapter five so this is the final chapter let me see there are [Music] 25 verses so i expect uh tonight and then next wednesday probably will finish this chapter and be finished with the book first timothy okay so um now we're on chapter five verse one in the kjv it says rebuke not an elder but entreat him as a father and the younger men as brethren now that's that's good good advice um you know i'm an elder in two respects i'm an elder even if we weren't talking about church right now i'm an elder because of my age i'm an older person and and most cultures some cultures much more than others who hold older people in esteem they respect them because since they're older people expect that uh that they maybe they're wiser we don't always get wiser just because we're getting older but uh we should gain some wisdom as we grow and and we're because we're experienced and perhaps we've had more time to learn um so i'm an elder in the respect that look i'm 71 years old i'm that kind of an elder but i'm also an elder in the church and that i've spent many years studying the scriptures i'm should be more learned than your average person and so in that respect i'm also an elder and an elder in the church it can be just someone who is much more knowledgeable has been a christian for a longer time and and and has studied and developed their gifts and used their gifts and served all that stuff uh will uh [Music] attribute to someone the recognition as an elder it can also be used as an official title or office that the presbyter the presbyterians that which is the the leaders of the each congregation whoever the leaders are of the congregation that's the presbytery uh and uh the presbytery could recognize someone as an elder because and based on what i just said hey sandy lambert's here hi cindy okay uh now we go back to uh let me read verse one in the uh amplified it says do not sharply censure or rebuke an older man come on it's just it's just a matter of basic most places would recognize this as as just good manners uh so an older man and now this is referring it says man but i think it's safe to say we can apply this to just older people whether you're male or female someone who's older he says do not sharply censure or rebuke an older person so in other words if you need to correct an older person out of respect to them you should do it gently you should do it privately uh you know a lot of times we want to rebuke each other and correct each other you know and we're not concerned about possibly humiliating someone and embarrassing them but saying particularly with someone that's older they make an effort to do it in in the kindest way you can uh so do not sharply censure or rebuke an older man let's see what this word elder means uh but with the bible dictionary i just decided to start using that today so let's see uh the diable dictionary for the kjv um it's in alphabetical order if i can if i know what alphabetical order it means it's not it's not here in the it's not on the list of words for some reason i don't know why they wouldn't think that elder these are words that are commonly misunderstood that are what what they would call uh this is webster's dictionary definitions for over a thousand words in the king james bible not in common use today so i guess the word elder is um it's it's not an uncommon word today so they didn't include it i i think i pretty well defined elder anyway so no need to do that uh now let me continue on because i didn't finish the verse in the amplified it says but entreat and plead with him as you would with a father treat younger men like brothers so if you're a young person a man or a young man or a young woman we i i hope we can all train ourselves to take the gender out of these these conversations because we don't want to exclude over 50 percent of the body of christ by by applying this only to the male gender and not the women too so uh this is whether you're a male or a female is that i would say uh oh well here he does make the distinction between women and men as we continue on but uh if it doesn't make the any distinction we should just apply it to a male or female he says but entreat and plead with him as you would a father i hope you have a a good relationship with your father if your father is still alive then i hope you'll treasure that i have a picture of my mother and father two feet away from me right here i'm looking at them right now here on my desk i always want to keep them in mind and not for ever forget what they look like and how important they were in my life i there was a time when my mother died before my father my mother died in december of 86. and if you don't know what this is what was the uh stimul the the this not the stimulate but the uh catalyst my mother's death was the catalyst catalyst for my new birth when she died it was the first death in my family i've never faced losing a loved one before and it was hard and i i also thought i need answers now i need to find out what happens after we die what is the purpose of life this is what led me into the bible and into the into the gospel and salvation so my mother's death was a turning point for me but i i realized a couple years ago that my my mother's face was kind of fading from my memory i have a lot of pictures of her but i didn't have a prominent picture that i look at all the time that's when i decided to take one of the photographs of my parents and put them right through my desk so every day i see them i think of them remember them fondly pray lord you know if if it's possible you know tell tell my parents how much i love them and and miss them so but the point is is not everybody has a wonderful relationship with their parents but even if you didn't have the best parents we're supposed to respect them and honor them so it's telling us here paul is instructing timothy he says and treat and plead with him as you would a father treat younger men like brothers so men treat an older man like he's your own father with that kind of respect uh and and if you do disagree go out of your way to disagree as kindly as you possibly can gently out of respect because they're an elder uh and if you're a young man and you're dealing with another young man uh and and in that case when you disagree then you don't have to go out of your way as much as you would with an elder to be careful to make sure you give them the respect that they deserve and because they're elder all right let's look and see here jesse cindy danielle i'm so happy to see you all there okay good night jay hankins has not made any further comments so i i hope that i didn't um offend you and and you're gone completely i hope you just recognize it we don't compromise and discuss uh the um the that particular doctrine and uh let anybody uh argue against it so if you're still there i hope you are i hope you're able to listen uh and benefit from uh the study billy sanders is here hi i don't recognize uh i don't recognize your name billy so if you're new here i want to give you a special welcome uh we have a here's our schedule billy uh it's uh uh every wednesday beginning at 9 30 pm eastern time and every sunday beginning at 5 p.m eastern time we have the wednesday bible study and the sunday church service sometimes we have special programs on friday nights but billy you're invited to to join us and participate in all these programs and i i if you if you like what we're doing here and then i i hope you will come back and participate regularly so it's nice to see there billy okay so let's go back to um the uh verse two now look at let's look at verse two in ver in chapter five now in the kjv it says the elder woman or the elder women as mothers the younger as sisters with all purity okay so paul's instructing this basically if you're a young man and you have a dealing with an older man go out of your way to give them respect and honor but if you're a young man talking to another young man then you're you're on equal grounds you don't have to go out of your way like you would with an elder but still you need to be respectful and polite and to each other even when you disagree that's one of the principles we have here at ces here here it is it's uh in essentials unity uh liberty in non-essentials charity and all things that means that on our core doctrines uh we have to be unified in all non-essential doctrine that will then uh we're all free to disagree but if we disagree or not in all of our conversations we need to do it with charity which means love so if you disagree you have to be especially careful to make sure you disagree love england kindly gently respectfully okay love one another and billy says love one another and washing one another you know you can't uh that what that we had a truism that sister renee uh brought in uh what was it uh something you can't do something while washing others feet so you can't uh i don't know it's it's hard to do any bad things any offensive things if you're if you're busy washing each other's feet you know you that mean washing feet is just a sign of being a humble servant and jesus set that example for us so uh here we have the standard that paul said for us and to interact with each other as brothers as sisters and brothers and sisters dealing with uh elders let's look at verse three in the kjv it says honor widows that are widows indeed now why would he make a distinction between widows and widows indeed well um perhaps in the next few verses uh we'll see i know i haven't read ahead uh of course i've always already read first timothy i've read through the bible numerous times but uh i don't have uh all the books all the verses memorized you know what's coming next all the time so maybe paul's going to further explain to us why he says widows honor widows that are widows indeed uh if not if it doesn't explain here i will i will go ahead and explain that uh let's look at though in the in the uh amplify verse 3 in the amplified it probably will explain this it says always treat with great consideration and give aid to those who are truly widowed that is solitary and without support truly so the the point here is that there are some people who are truly widows and truly in need and then there's other people that you know considering them needy widows is not really valid or they're not really they may be widows but maybe they're not needy and maybe they're they don't need the help but they're they they're they want it anyway even though someone else needs it and they they want theirs because they're a widow but if they don't really need it we should be giving it our our aid to those who actually need it okay uh okay verse four in the kjv says um but if any widow have children or nephews now this is talking about the real widows that are really in need okay if they have children or nephews let them learn first to show piety at home and to requite their parents for that is good and acceptable before god requite let me see i don't think that let me see if that's one of the uh words in the this dictionary here we're quite yeah here it is we're quite requite means uh to repay either good or evil in a good sense to rock recompense to return an equivalent in good to reward i will require you this kindness and we examples of in second timothy the second samuel and first timothy well first timothy five forest of where we are uh but those are the examples we see this word required in a bad sense to retaliate to return evil for evil to punish joseph will certainly require us all the evil which we did to him so that's a pain paying back to give them it's payback but we really should be focused on paying back good for good and not think about all paying back those who who have harmed us in some way and and paul paul says that you should be putting burning coals on people's head by by when someone is mean to you you are not mean in response instead you're loving and kind and generous the people who mistreat you instead of mistreating them the way the world responds paul says no duke kindness to them and when you when you respond with kindness instead of responding the same way they treated you now you're putting burning coals on their head i think burning coals on the head is uh symbolic for of course it can't be literal because we're not instructed we're told to be taking burning hot coals literally and put on people so it's symbolic and i believe it means to make them feel ashamed of themselves and i've had people on that i i've had this play out in my life many times where someone will make a rude comment particularly in the chat room or a comment on a video they'll say something really rude and out of line and i don't respond back in that way i hope i don't because i'm trying to follow these the instructions by paul here so when someone uh is cruel and mean to me and i respond by being kind and loving to them that response oftentimes shames them and then they the next thing i see happen is an apology and and real repentance and remorse that they i'm sorry i should have said that to you that was not not right uh so this is what we're all how we're all instructed to do yeah let's let's requite in other words if someone is kind to us let's we owe them some kindness in return if someone is cruel to us let's be kind and loving to them because they'll shock them into realizing that they they were out of line and they're they're ashamed and embarrassed it doesn't always give us that response but oftentimes people will recognize it they were wrong and they're embarrassed and ashamed of their behavior okay so let me go let me see [Music] so verse 4 and the kjv says but if any widow have children or nephews let them learn first to show piety at home uh so in other words the the the first people to come to the aid of the needy are the our own families this is this is what we the way we should conduct ourselves instead of depending on uh the the congregation or or society or the government we we should be depending upon our own families to help us of course there i'm glad that there can be safety nets where church or or government programs can be a safety net for people who who don't have families to help them or or their families are failing in this way we can't let these people go hungry and be needy and ignore it and say well hey why don't their family take care of them well if their family is not helping them then then we owe it to each other to to at least uh do what is necessary for the needy um yeah and to requite their appearance for that is good and acceptable for god now let's look at that verse four in the amplified is quite long in the amplified so let's go through it a little bit slowly it says but if a widow has children or grandchildren see to it that these are first made to understand that it is their religious duty to defray their natural obligation to those so it's their duty it's your family's duty and responsibility to help you when you're in need that's the first principle but that sometimes fails people sometimes people are estranged from their family sometimes people also are don't have any family maybe their family is is all deceased or are not available or maybe their family is also poor and needy and they can't help you so in that case then we need another way of coming to their aid but the first response the first responders for me should be our own families uh that is their religious duty it says here um at home and make return to their parents or grandparents for all their care by contributing to their maintenance in other words look if you have children and you raise them you give them financial support you give them instructions you give them love uh and obviously some parents are much better than others but most parents at least provide the the most basic things and return for all the things that parents do for their children so they can become independent uh self-reliant adults when the time comes where the parent is old and feeble and and now it's like when you get older if you live long enough you become feeble enough that you're almost like a child again in in in need just as much in need of care and help as that little infant would be and if you're it's unfortunate if you're ever in that situation it is the duty and responsibility of the children you raised to now turn around and raise you and take care of you again because now you're you're like in a second childhood [Music] let me see make return to their parents or grandparents for all their care by contributing to their maintenance for this is acceptable in the sight of god that's not a complicated concept i hope everybody understands and agrees that uh we we do have responsibility to our parents um my wife and i had the great pleasure today of being able to meet our son for lunch her son is 42 years old uh he he's very successful uh he doesn't need our help but when he was young he did when he was an infant and a young boy and so on and we did our best and i believe that we were very good parents at least he says he tells us that and i think we did a good job raising him but he said today uh we don't need any help from him but he said if if you needed help i would never neglect you i would always take care of you if that ever became necessary and that's that's not the should not be the response of a rare virtuous person that should be the the response the natural response everybody should be have that attitude at least in the scriptures where that's the way we're instructed is as believers okay uh all right so that's um that was verse five now let's go to verse six in the kjv but she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth that seems out of context okay here it is it was talking about widows and in verse five says oh no i'm sorry i skipped verse five no wonder just the entire context i did take it out of context all right verse 5 in the kjv referring to this this widow now she that is a widow indeed so the true widow the what the woman that is uh her her husband is deceased and she is needy it's not a rich widow but a a needy widow a widow indeed and desolate so she's poor uh trust us in god and continue within supplications and prayers night and day so here he's give us a picture an example of this is a woman who lost her husband she's destitute and but she's still faithful she's she's still uh praying for god to provide her provider needs night and day [Music] i'll read that in the amplified in a second but let me see okay let me see richard richard says if your intent is to shame someone then it's no more than sophisticated manipulation which is hateful unless you're referring to something in the chat room i'm assuming you're referring to my comment about the burning hot coals of fire uh well of course everything everything we do on the the the the condition of our heart when we do it it also will determine if what you're doing is is god is godly or not richard um but it's the scriptures that say when we when we return hatefulness with love it's the result is the same as putting burning hot coals on their head that's the scriptures so if there you have an issue with that then you need to sort that out from the bible because that's not you know i'm not putting out my own personal philosophy that's the scripture but i do think that our everything we do even if we're doing the right thing it's like praying uh jesus says that of course he taught us how to pray he says that here's an example of how you should pray and gave us this what's called the lord's prayer but then he goes around and says that don't you shouldn't be praying out in public to try to draw attention for yourself so on one hand we have something that's good to do but the other hand is if you're doing it with the wrong motivation then then it's not it's no longer good so i guess if your intention is just to shame someone embarrass them uh then it would not be good but if if you're just following the instructions and the result is they're ashamed and embarrassed because you you were kind to them after they were hateful to you and the result is they feel ashamed and embarrassed that's what's supposed to happen [Music] okay all right okay let's uh go back to let me get the fan on me for a second i need to cool off here for a second i get these hot flashes the doctor called it andropause you know you've all heard of menopause there's also something that happens to men sometimes as they get older andropause where you get the hot flashes that women often get a man can get that too that's why i need this fan quite often okay so let me see did i read verse five let me read verse five in the kjv it says now a woman who is a real widow and is left entirely alone and desolate has fixed her hope on god and perseveres in supplications and prayers night and day all right well i've explained that pretty much in agreement with the amplified the way that they expounded on it so let's go to verse six in the kjv now it says but she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth so this that you have to be really careful that paul is is making the point over and over again i'm not talking about the widow that is wealthy don't let the that's one of the things that was happening at the church at uh ephesus and that's this letter pertains to is uh how do you deal with the widows some people are widows and they're taking advantage of their widowness if that's a word they're taking advantage of it and trying to get extra benefits when they don't even need it when someone else is really in need and they should not be asking for anything because everything that we possibly have to help others should go to those who really need it [Music] okay let me see sister shelley's here oh no sister shelley says brother luke i apologize as we just got back from traveling to a specialist for shane's kidneys found out he has a large kidney large stones require surgery did not mean to be late tonight prayers please well please pray for uh sister shelley's husband shane for these kidney stones uh i have a friend here in town also that just we just found out that he has some kidney stones and uh thank you lord that i've never gotten kidney stones it's i've heard it's horrible to to have to pass those stones it's a painful ordeal to go through so please pray for for shane everybody okay okay so now let's go to uh 6 in the kjv it says whereas she who lives in pleasure and self-gratification giving herself up to luxury and self-indulgence is dead even while she still lives um i'm not sure what that means why she's dead i understand the idea of making the distinction from between the rich widow and the truly needy widow but uh anybody have any idea why uh paul would refer to them as dead it says in the kjv but she that liveth in pleasure is dead while she liveth maybe you can help me out with that if anybody has any idea why he's referred her as dead uh even though because she has wealth because she has pleasure uh perhaps it's because her focus and her life is still focused on worldly things rather than the spiritual things and she's enjoying the treasures she's she has on earth in luxury and pleasure uh and neglected to the the treasures in heaven that we all should be building that's the best that i can do with the concept of her being dead okay all right okay um okay let's go to verse seven in the kjv and these things give in charge uh that they may be blameless okay now that sounds like almost a foreign language to me and these things give in charge i'm not familiar with that expression in these things given charge that they may be blameless i'm going to read it in the amplified let me read it first in the net that's the new english translation it's kind of like a nasb or niv in terms of using modern english but the reason i like the nit in e.t is that it it has an abundance of footnotes so i'll also look at the footnote it says verse 6 and the net is but the one who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives all right so it's just it's just translating it it's not expounding in any way let's see if there's a footnote for this verse in the net it says the footnote is for is dead even the greek text reads has died all right so that isn't helpful let's look at it in the amplified hopefully they will expel see the amplified translation is amplifying that's what i'm doing i read the verse not only read it now i amplify and share my thoughts on how i understand it uh and that's the amplified translation has the amplification or expounding on the scripture or teaching above the scriptures that's built into the translation so it's very convenient it says whereas she who lives in pleasure and self-gratification so far that's no uh uh a real um uh extra understanding besides the kjv and the net it's it's not it's not a complicated idea so far then it says giving herself up to luxury and self-indulgence so here she is just trying to please her her or into own indulgences maybe um having luxurious foods and in the finest clothing and jewelry and luxuries and that's what that's what this person is uh um focusing on in her life and but is dead even while she still lives so see none of them uh i'll look at it in the young's literal says and she who is given to luxury living hath died all right so i'm not getting any help from any of these translations uh so i think my understanding my interpretation of what it means but she's dead [Music] that's i think it's probably the correct way of understanding it but if anybody has a better idea let me know okay okay verse eight in the kjv says but if any provide not for his own and especially for those of his own house he had denied the faith and is worse than an infidel so this is talking about the prior verses that paul is saying that if someone in is elderly particularly if they're widowed and they're in need of help and the first responders should be their own families their children their grandchildren but if they fail to do that if if they're negligent and do not come to the aid of their elder elderly relatives he says they're worse than infidels now are they saved or not it's not it has nothing to do with whether they're saved or not a saved person or a non-safe person could fail in this way [Music] thank you sister shelley for the prayer and so and then this has nothing to do with you know safe people can also fail in this way we're not perfect either and sometimes we fail in our responsibility our duty to each other but he said paul says you're worse than an infidel we should be better than that this is a this is a saying i've heard in the last few years that i i growing up i never heard this but over the last let's say 10 years or so this saying of you're better than that this is also intended to embarrass someone to say come on you're better than that someone is failing in a way particular way has a particular attitude that is wrong like brother brother uh jim bible jim he said to me once when i was venting to him a grievance about somebody that somebody was [Music] i don't remember what they had done but i was offended by it and he said to me luke dead man cannot take offense a dead man cannot get offended and and it it convicted me i've remembered it you know this has been this goes back to about uh almost 20 years ago and i remember it stuck and stuck with me and he could have also said luke you're better than that you know you should you should not get in the flesh and get offended like that you know and if someone is this guy was a jerk uh don't get offended instead showing great kindness and they will have brain coals on their head but instead i'm the one that failed i should have been better than that as as the is the uh colloquial saying today but here it says it says you're no better than an infidel or they're worse than an infidel just to say to someone you're worse than an infidel in that respect uh is a way to say come on you're better than that you should be better than that sorry i should have admitted that before let me cough again here all right i hope my mute button worked that time okay so verse eight let me read verse eight in the amplified if anyone fails to provide for his relatives and especially for those of his own family he has disowned the faith by failing to accompany it with fruits and is worse than an unbeliever someone who performs his obligation in these matters it should be embarrassing to that unsaved people sometimes i've seen atheists and people from other religions particularly let's say that they have no faith at all they're just an atheist and yet sometimes they have better character more integrity uh than believers i've i've dealt with and that that's we it's it's really is a shame when that's the case then when an infidel an unbeliever an atheist when they can actually be better people than a christian in some respects that's oh that's all they have some introspection here and examine ourselves in that way all right seems like an hour is about my my limit these days to uh talk before i'm still like uh from my i won't be able to control my coughing if i continue so um yeah i expect that this is that

g-2qHTKWmCY | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-2qHTKWmCY | Wild Sky Yonder Chapter Two: Downtime | wild Sky Yonder chapter two downtime tick tech tech tech Spitfire paced around her little room Teck tech tech tech her nerves were fried tech tech tech tick her self-confidence was evaporating tick tick tech tech that damned clock wasn't helping it mocked her waving its little legs around in juny jerky circles cheerily reminding her that it had been over an hour since she'd been told to wait here for be flight tick tick tech tech an hour ago she'd been excited a fresh start new friends a second chance at being normal since then the clock's malicious magic had turned excitement into anxiety she wasn't normal she never would be you're going to drive them away the little clock said just like the others tick tick tick sooner or later she would get in another fight tick she'd hurt some pony again tick it was bound to happen tick they'd see what a dangerous freak she was they'd sh her or leave or send her away just like the others tick she scrambled onto sauron's desk yanked the clock off the wall and threw it across the room it landed on her pillow which muffled the ticking she sagged in relief then she realized where she was standing what was Sergeant Thunderhead laughing about she frowned at the desk beneath her what could possibly make the phrase she's a real sweetheart funny she considered a few possibilities in her head none of them were appealing what sort of pony would she be living with for the next 12 weeks would they get along it was enough to inspire an entirely new round of worry maybe just a peek in her head curiosity and fear were locked in a knockdown drag out brawl with respect and loyalty respect and loyalty got their clocks cleaned she started rumaging around in the drawers there wasn't much pens and an inkw well a few p novels and a stash of pistachios at the bottom of the deepest drawer was a flat wedge wrapped in wax paper it smelled like cherries is that a slice of pie beneath the pie was a small brown book with a strap securing the cover her eyes flicked back toward her own desk it was nearly identical to the journal she brought from home she paused and the melee in her head threatened to Begin Again on one hoof here was everything she was looking for if it was sain's Journal she' surely be able to glean something about her Wing mate's personality on the other this would be a serious breach of trust she stood there chewing her lower lip long ago she'd caught a friend reading her journal they'd stopped being friends she closed the drawers the door burst open and an ice blue stallion with a ragged Navy man skitted into the room his chest heaved he looked like he run up the stairs hey seven red pack to picnic and the others are going to come back from their trient soon and I thought it'd be fun to head up to the roof and watch come on if he thought it was at all strange it was standing on a desk he didn't show it Spitfire climbed down and headed for the door sounds like fun yeah the excitable blue stallion held the door for her Then followed her to the stairwell she turned to go upstairs no seven the stairs don't go to the roof we got to go down and then fly he looked at her immobile Wings then wilted and studied his Hoops oh right sorry s she forced a reassuring smile it's fine really is there another way up he thought about it tapping his hoves while the wheels turned in his head I'll carry you that took her off guard still he looked so Earnest and she was desperate to get along with her teammates she swallowed her pride and followed him down okay just this once Spitfire froze there was a red eight on the flank of the big blue stallion's uniform saurin spitfire's mind raced iy Panic wed up inside her was this a joke was it a mistake should she have known to expect this after the accident in the fights she hadn't had the luxury of a normal adolescence the only stallion she'd ever spent any time alone with were family members she didn't know much about life in the core but she'd always been a fan of the Wonderbolts she remembered a show she'd seen as a philly during the duet sequence the announcer set a piece about a flyer needing complete trust in her Wing maid they needed to know each other's abilities limitations thoughts fears better than a married couple the announcer said in fact those two performers had been married suddenly life had dropped this stallion into her path she needed to live with him trust him open up to him know the ins and outs of saurin as well as she knew herself and he needed the same from her for the next 12 weeks and possibly even for years beyond that it was a tall order for a young May who' grown so used to being alone who'd never even dated deep inside a tiny part of her found the idea of being that close to him to any Pony seductive the rest of her was thoroughly terrified as saurin all lighted on the rooftop Spitfire shoved these thoughts aside she couldn't deal with them right now not with two more comrades to meet on the bright side I know what the sergeant was laughing about heck maybe he is a real sweetheart that thought was worth a weak smile two other ponies waited on the roof their uniforms marked with a five and a six six's coat was bright red her man a soft Peach that darkened at length like spitfire's man in pastel five was a midnight blue stallion with a pale blue Mane both ponies popped up to greet them there was a mischievous gleam in six's eyes though when she got a look at Spitfire the Mischief fled replaced by concern Spitfire could almost feel the pity in her stare starting at the split ear drifting onto the bloody eye over the cuts bear patches and bruises and finally to the ugly awful harness that bound her wings oh honey you're as red as a beat are you sure you should be up saurin you shouldn't have dragged her out of bed Spitfire tried desperately to keep the anxiety out of her voice oh no I'll be fine it looks a lot worse than it is I'm glad to be outside she turned toward her wingman thanks for the lift sa the stallion beamed six persisted are you sure hun you look flushed she touched spitfire's forehead checking for a fever when she didn't feel one her green eyes twinkled with mirth her mouth turned up in a lascivious grin and she flicked her eyes at saurin in an unspoken question spitfire's eyes widen she bit her lip and flushed a Deeper Shade of red oh I see lucky s didn't realize she was going to be sharing a room with such a big beautiful stallion oh I have news for you s Camp rules say you can look but you can't touch Spitfire stammered no it's I mean I knew that already the sergeant he said but I know just what you're thinking but did he mean don't do it or don't get caught she B added her eyes at her wingmate and heaved an exaggerated sigh I've been pondering that one myself no it's not anything like that six flashed her a knowing smile really hun there's no sense in denying it I've watched you nuzzle his man all the way back to base yesterday Spitfire shrank and looked up at her wingmate forcing a nervous grin sorry about that I thought you were a cloud the dark blue stallion joined the conversation oh no need to apologize Sauron enjoyed it I could tell red giggled saurin blushed and turned away not cool bro red gave an unhappy tisk where are my manners seven this is Stargazer and I suppose I don't need to introduce you to his brother saurin my name's Scarlet Sunrise but please call me red Spitfire pushed down in her embarrassment long enough to introduce herself then be flight gathered around the picnic basket she took a moment to appreciate the scenery the the dormatory was one of the tallest buildings in the camp and the view from the roof was spectacular the base sat at top a small rise in a wide Mountain Valley surrounded on three sides by Rocky snowcapped Peaks extending thousands of feet above the carpet of Evergreens that covered the lower slopes in the rest of the valley to the north a blue white Glacier flowed between two mountains from the toe of the glacier melting ice mixed with silt to form a slender ribbon of Milky blue green water that twisted and wound its way down a two wide riverbed and emptied into a plasted turquoise Lake on the shore of the lake lay the Hamlet of glimmer veale one of the only Pegasus settlements On Solid Ground and one of the only Pony settlements outside of the bounded lands where Harmony's influence gave ponies complete control over the weather the bulk of Camp solar lay to the immediate South an orderly Orchard of Blocky Stone buildings further to the South lay the Valley's entrance where she'd made her rough landing yesterday she took a seat and accepted a sandwich from red so what is is a Trice hunt and if it's a training exercise why aren't you on it I mean I'm glad I'm up here and not having a staring contest with the clock anymore but shouldn't you be with the others Stargazer grinned right after the captain finishes her welcome speech an officer rushes in and announces that some Pon has been turned into stone right here in Camp the sergeants scramble the new recruits to hunt down the cockatrice it's an impromptu exercise to evaluate the newbies in any other recruit class BF flight would participate in the hunt under the captain's supervision but we kind of a special cas saur nodded around a mouthful of bread and daisies he added we were at the dinner table years ago when Tbone invented this gag we even saved up our allowance to help him buy the statue Spitfire looked at the Statue tipped onto its side in the middle of the parade ground she couldn't make out much detail from here she frowned in confusion what's a T-bone Stargazer chuckled Sergeant Thunderhead when we were little we called him Thunder bonehead it uh seemed a lot funnier when we were kids anyway since we know that lump of stone isn't our brother and he doesn't need the exercise to evaluate our skills we were allowed to stay behind Red didn't really have a good reason to skip she just got lucky red nudged her Wing maid did not Camp rules remember saurin stood and pointed off to the Northeast hey here they come the other three stood and walked to the roof's Edge a disorganized mass of several dozen pegasi crusted a hill and soared low over the village saurin gingerly tapped Spitfire on the shoulder and pointed behind the Armory Sergeant Thunderhead was there out of uniform another Pegasus was helping him coat himself with a fine white powder a small green and white creature flew out from the pack of pegasi stopping abruptly and coming to rest on the head of the statue Spitfire yelped and hit the deck I didn't think there'd be a real cockatrice the rest of beef flight chuckled there isn't said red that one's a stuffed animal said saurin Stargazer helped her back to her feet it's something new this year our sister's quite the little magician she cast a come to life spell on it Spitfire wrinkled her brow she cast a oh your sister's unicorn yeah so is Dad and sain's your brother and so is the sergeant big family you don't know the half of it he pointed back towards the flock of cadetes they were over the camp now shh the massive Flyers landed at the periphery of the parade ground dozens of cadets in their beige uniforms each with trim in a number in red green blue or gold crept toward the dreaded cockatrice none of them dared to open their eyes any wider than a crack and as a result none of them noticed the training officers breaking off from the group together at the end of ground two Cadets fellow members of northwing by the red numerals one and two on their flanks surged ahead loping off to either side of the statue when they had the Beast successfully flanked red two yelled out get him one red one pounced snatching the stuffed toy off the statue's head and pinning It To The Ground his eyes still securely closed when he felt the give of its soft and Squishy body he opened his eyes cocky satisfaction turned to confusion and then irritation around the yard other cadetes cracked an eye and saw the big white stallion a stride a child's toy a nervous titter spread around the crowd at that moment a ghost white Thunderhead zoomed in riding a small black cloud he circled the pack of cadets at high speed stomping on the cloud now and then to release a lightning bolt which would discharge harmlessly into a rod at top one of the buildings when the little Cloud's lightning was spent he leapt down and landed beside the statue glaring at the assembled pegasi cadetes thy laxity and foolishness have allowed the real cockatrice to escape I am doomed to an eternity of suffering while my body crumbles in the wind and the rain know my vengeance the cadets froze their faces a group portrait of fear and confusion a few of the sharper ones wore Ry Smiles for a long frozen moment no pony moved then the officers started laughing one of them grabbed the little cloud and made it Rain Over Thunderhead washing him clean he doubled over and began to laugh all right recruits exercise over break down by flights for a debriefing he raised his voice and maybe the three active members of be flight should come explain to me why they were standing on a roof in a lightning storm two of the bolts had discharged into the dormitory's lightning rod during the display too close for comfort red and Stargazer offered apologetic looks and took off to the parade ground Sauron hesitated I should get you down first Spitfire shook her head go on duty calls you know where to find me when you're done I promise not to go anywhere he nodded and followed the others Spitfire watched from the roof as 11 flights of four Cadets plus her three friends each met separately with an instructor each group was in an animated conversation as the instructors deconstructed their students actions in the impromptu exercise now and then a Cadet swelled with pride twice as often a Cadet withered under criticism beef flight was getting a dressing down for putting themselves In Harm's Way to watch the show things were particularly animated at a flight which included the two Beast slaying Heroes red one was iate and traded heated words with his training officer northwing 7 who is responsible for stranding you up Spitfire jumped she'd been so focused on the going on below that she hadn't noticed anyone approaching turning she saw an iridescent white May in a captain's uniform she snapped to attention C Captain Aurora the old May nodded waiting expectantly for an answer I suppose I stranded myself ma'am Aurora stro up to her pointedly examining her immobilized Wings she stopped with her scowling face just inches from Spitfire do not lie to me Cadet Spitfire shrank her voice grew frantic no ma'am it's true sain ate he offered to take me down I told him not to keep the sergeant waiting that means it's my fault I'm stuck up here the captain's scow softened she backed up and gave a small sigh of relief I worry about these boys always charging off never stopping to think Spitfire stared blankly at the captain that comment was awfully personal for an officer discussing Rober recruits begging your pardon ma'am I'm really glad they charged in after me yesterday the captain offered the barest hint of a smile so am I Cadet so am I she straightened up and her face grew Stern once again at any rate make sure they don't forget about you Spitfire nodded follow the doctor's orders I want you back in the air post haste Spitfire nodded again so do I ma'am tell my sons not to leave any more pretty girls stranded on rooftops spitfire's mouth dropped open the captain spread her wings and took flight stargazer's earlier comment echoed in her head you don't know the half of it saurin returned before long and carried her back to the ground other recruits whistled and cat called red had a familiar look on her face seven what's that your third flight on the saurin express in two days I usually make him wait till at least the third date well second usually but still scandalous Spitfire clamored down and laughed nervously her face turned almost as red as Reds she scrambled to find a response Stargazer saved with trouble red she was sitting on his back if that could possibly be something intimate I'd like to see how by the look in his eyes he realized as he was speaking that it had come out wrong red turned to him in mock disgust Stargazer you'd like to watch your own brother rut his wingmate for shame saen grinned relieved that the attention had shifted away from her yeah bro that's gross Spitfire faced a decision she could keep on being mortified possibly for the rest of training if red was like this all the time or she could turn around and fly with the current When in Rome do as the Buffalo do she tried to calm her shaky nerves in a small voice she said what he really wants to do is join in sorry boys look but don't touch Camp rules as one the other three turned to look at her mouths hanging open for a moment she thought she'd made a terrible mistake then they all burst into laughter red actually fell over the laughter soothed away some of her anxiety not all of it but enough the cadets were ordered back into the dormatory where they assembled in the first floor classrooms for instruction Monday's session was an introduction to surviving in an Unbound environment how to find safe water to drink how to harvest the inner bark of a pine tree for food how to identify and avoid nests of dangerous predators Spitfire had never been a particularly good student but she was delighted to find herself engaged and interested her mother had loved to take her camping in white tail wood and they had always enjoyed spotting animal vents together the instructor was talking about mantor layers and cockatrice nests rather than Beaver damps but it was the same in principle when class ended the cadets in the other 11 flights dashed off to the mess for dinner red took one look at Spitfire and sent her to bed promising that she and Stargazer would bring dinner and they'd repeat their picnic in her room Sauron accompanied her upstairs in the room Spitfire flopped onto her bed she landed on the clock and winced she sheepishly picked it up clambered up onto sain's desk and put it back on the wall where it belonged as before if saurin found any of this strange he didn't let on he stood by his bed and peeled off his uniform thunderheads face appeared in the doorway he held a letter in his teeth s infirmary first thing tomorrow doctor's orders Spitfire took the paper from him and set it on her desk she looked it over got it infirmary every morning till I'm not grounded anymore the sergeant loitered in the doorway an impish smirk creeping onto his face he nodded at his little brother getting along with your wingmate seven Spitfire tensed remembering the anxiety shock and embarrassment she'd suffered as a result of his little joke she glared at him she tried to think of a biting comeback she couldn't come up with anything yes sir told you she was nice he laughed and turned to leave saurin joined her by the door I know that smile there was a sympathetic long-suffering tone in his voice what did he do Spitfire slumped oh the doctor mentioned your name I assumed room assignments would be by gender she turned her face aside to hide her embarrassment when the sergeant said I'd be sharing this room with a I asked is she nice he chuckled I bet he had fun with that his exact words were she's a real sweetheart then he took off laughing all the way down the stairs I spent the next hour trying to figure out why that was funny and arguing with the clock I wondered about that didn't want to say anything besides looked like you won the argument she chuckled saurin it is weird right to mix up the Sexes like this it's not just me with the goofy hangup he Shrugged T-Bone says as a rule from all the way back when the cor started allowing stallions that we can't get any special treatment we have to pass the same fitness test we have to live train and fight alongside our sisters separate rooms would be special treatment or something but that way it almost made sense she relaxed just a bit she turned back toward him what she saw startled her sauron's legs and chest were almost as as badly bruised as her own she piled I'm so sorry it's all my fault he examined himself in the mirror N I chose to dive in after you then I steered us into the trees these are my fault an awkward silence ensued spitfire's mind was a buzz with questions thoughts ways to say thank you none of them seemed sufficient she trudged back to her bed in a soft voice she asked why' you do it he Shrugged because I had to you needed help no pony else was there and I'm stronger than red or Stargazer that's it she needs help so there I go even if it kills me well yeah I guess I didn't think of it that way at the time didn't think much at all really she hung her head in her eyes filled with tears always charging off never stopping to think saurin every one of those bruises should be on me not you I should be dead alone in the forest no pony knowing whether I ran off or chickened out or didn't make it thanks before saurin could respond red blew in like a whirlwind talking and laughing and handing out plates Spitfire wrinkled her nose she'd always hated dandelion salad red laughed until she couldn't breathe when Spitfire passed Aurora's message along to the boys saurin and Stargazer told stor about growing up with Thunderhead and red talked about her family back in Pittsburgh Spitfire mainly listened lonely though she was she wasn't ready to open up and risk being hurt again the four ponies talked and laughed until lights out saurin was asleep the instant his head hit the pillow and spitfire felt a little bit silly for worrying about sharing his room she still felt that nod of panic deep down but it was getting easier to ignore by the hour she laid down cursing the uncomfortable harness on her back and fell asleep sleep the next morning Spitfire arrived at the infirmary in a foul mood 47 recruits flipped hovered and darted across the sky above her and she longed to join them when she arrived in the examination room she headed straight to the window and sulked trying to spot bee fight in the aerial chaos onto the examination table if you please miss bitfire Fire Light entered his eyes projecting irritation and impatience when she had done as directed he approached and examined her wings he proed at some of her bruises and her grafted feathers she let out a winse or a gasp each time through it all she continued to give her attention to the window you were instructed not to remove or adjust your harness why did you do so I didn't excuse me I did not remove it sir her frown deepened she hadn't touched it what was this about I am quite certain that it is loose right now I I am equally confident that my assistant put it on correctly yesterday I can only conclude that you removed or loosened it do not do so again he pulled the straps tighter she bit back a cry but I she stopped herself she'd snapped at him yesterday but Sergeant Thunderhead had described him as not lenient she couldn't let it happen again yes sir hm you remain grounded return tomorrow with that the sum total of duties for Tuesday morning were over she returned to the parade ground when she could no longer stand to watch her comrades carry on without her she retreated to her room she borrowed a pen from sain's desk to write in her journal things didn't get any better when morning exercises ended the trainers had run the cadet's Ragged and be flight was too tired for mert even the afternoon's classroom session seemed less interesting though Spitfire admitted to herself that her own attitude was probably to blame a late dinner followed by an early turnning into a de boring dreary day if anything Wednesday was worse it was the exact repeat of Tuesday except the harness was already tight when Fire Light yanked it tighter she had nothing new to write about and she was already bored as she watched the recruits practice she realized that they were already working on basic formation flying when she finally rejoined them she'd be significantly behind that night after lights out she'd laid awake in bed too much downtime and not enough exercise left her plenty of energy for worrying she was falling behind the other NS she decided there must be a point where she was too far behind and they'd wash her out each day grounded took her closer to that point and if she got there she'd have to go home or find somewhere else her fate was in the doctor's Hooves and he was suddenly hostile sleep did not come easily that night and in the darkness and silence she imagined herself stripped of her uniform and marched off the base again and again and again Thursday brought yet another unjust accusation and rough handling with the Infirmary Spitfire had no idea how or when she'd so offended firelight but the Mercurio doctor had made it clear that he did not like her her wings felt fine apart from the aching and stiffness of being locked into the harness she feared that he was intentionally keeping her grounded to be rid of her as she returned across the parade ground she made a decision if she returned to her room she'd worry herself sick she couldn't go back there just yet she looked around the mess was closed outside of meal times the dormatory and infirmary were enemy territory staying on the parade ground meant watching the other Cadets train without her technically the Armory wasn't off limits to her it might just be a boring empty building but at least it was something new it was dim inside the Armory she fumbled around for a light switch the one she found didn't work the doors on the first floor were all closed and locked in the stairwell a gate blocked access to the basement it was sealed shut with a massive padlock up she went what she found on the second floor took her off guard most of the floor was a single open space filled with rows of display cases holding ancient weapons and armor portraits of leaders and heroes long dead diaramas of ancient battles books on display stands open to significant passages all accompanied by placards describing their significance she'd stumbled into a museum she wandered the aisles puzzling over the artifacts gawking at the battle scenes occasionally even glancing at the histories the early battles pitted armored pegasi against other ponies later ones involved Griffins hordes of beasts once or twice Pegasus fought Pegasus invariably the pegasi wore dark armor and carried a straight blad strapped to each front hoof one diarama in particular Drew her attention although she couldn't make heads or tals of it it seemed to be upside down the bottom of the display was lined with clouds in a variety of strange colors at the top floated a small chunk of grass covered land amidst it all armored pegasi floated at odd angles few facing in the same direction as those around them some had extra Wings one appeared to be wearing Lobsters instead of armor in the center Flo a giant pie upon which a strange creature lounged on a sofa surrounded by dancing Buffalo the placard read rain of chaos from the Museum's entrance a song began to play on a scratchy phonograph Spitfire turned Dr firelight stood near the machine's horn eyes closed listening to music an old timey instrumental March of some kind stirring isn't it Spitfire tensed and looked around unfortunately there wasn't anyone else he could be talking to her only chance was to appease the Old Goat she paid attention to the music for a moment it wasn't bad for a stuffy Old Marge yes sir it's the old battle March at the core I've not been able to find a recording with lyrics intacted and even if I had one I'm afraid the wordss are simply too brutal for these enlightened times still a shame that it is lost so much is lost sir the old stallion chuckled best not let me go down that road we'd be here for weeks tell me Cadet are you a student of History Spitfire squirmed under the attention of the prissy short-tempered officer not especially sir I I recognized that name from the heart swarming Legend she pointed to a portrait at the end of the aisle yes don't we all commander hurricane last the weather Lords of pegas aniki last duly appointed supreme commander of the core before our present Sovereign you surprise me Cadet you seem to be enjoying my little Museum you claim only a modest knowledge of History perhaps this is so but you show an appreciation for it that few young ponies can muster lack of knowledge is often easily remedied La of respect rarely so your Museum sir indeed not long ago these text and artifact effects were below ground in the Armory vaults some of them were beginning to Decay quite badly note the rust on the suit of armor to your left Hurricane's own armor if our records are accurate I asked and received permission to remove items of historical significance in this space which was vacant at the time everything you see here was arranged by these hoves he pred a bit Spitfire thought he sort of deserved to it's very impressive sir is it the whole history of the core the smile she received was patronizing we been warm not entirely my dear I believe I was just saying that everything here was retrieved quite recently from the vaults this means of course that all of it dates to the time strike and reconnaissance was dismantled when search and rescue was born I've not yet attempted to cover the six centuries since that time no this museum is dedicated to the days when we were soldiers from the time we began is little better than thugs and enforcers for the weather Lords through the internum and the founding of Equestria the reign of chaos when the core reformed as an surgent group perhaps our finest hour that to the day when the princess declared that peace and Harmony were Eternal and soldiers were obsolete Spitfire turned back to the reain of chaos display this this was our finest Hour believe it or not yes perhaps that is a story for another time for now come here she approached trying to keep the nervousness out of her eyes he grasped one of her grafted feathers and wiggled it a bit she did her best not to Flinch a thoughtful look crossed his face he removed her Wing restraints you are not to attempt even short flights until tomorrow Saturday would be better you are still init for strenuous flight no training exercises for another week I'm afraid stretch every few hours or so meal times will do nicely as you have no duties to attend to tomorrow you may assist me here if you wish I presume this would be preferable to wasting a way in your quarters you may report here tomorrow tomorrow morning at 7 that will be all Cadet stunned Spitfire tried to piece together what had just happened thank you sir she turned to leave firelight made an exasperated noise she cringed Miss Spitfire do take this back to the infirmary it is not an artifact of this Museum and I Am Not Your Valet of course sir sorry sir as she lugged the hated device back to the infirmary her thoughts turned bleak she was out of the harness but still grounded she'd fall behind another week she'd miss all of basic and intermediate

BuOdmm8kH_A | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuOdmm8kH_A | President Reagan's Remarks to Elementary School Essay Constitution Project Winners on June 1, 1987 | right mr. president as you know this is the year of the Elementary School in America you also know this is the 200th anniversary of our Constitution well we call them founding fathers for a lot of purposes one of the purposes so that today I could present to you the Constitution's children thank you very much bill yes I think you proud adults may have be seated well welcome to the White House and congratulations to the special representatives of the 1987 elementary school essay project it could be said that each of you boys and girls here is just about one in a million because that's how many children entered the elementary school essay project more than a million and the judges tell me they read count was outstanding essays but yours well they just stood out a little bit above all the rest and that's why you're here so again congratulations I know you and your parents and teachers and principals are proud and you deserve to be you know Thomas Jefferson once wrote a friend to say that our Constitution represented unquestionably the wisest ever yet presented to men well right about here you probably think I'm going to say there's no truth to the rumor that I was the friend he was writing the letter to history has certainly borne out mr. Jefferson's judgment through two centuries now our Constitution has proven a source of strength stability and unerring wisdom serving longer than any other written constitution in the world think of that young as our country is we're really though the oldest Republic in the world I know that what was some of the budget bills presidents have days when they think the Constitution created one branch of government to many seriously the Constitution is blessed us with what I have to believe is the finest government in history of course as president I find that the Constitution is part of my daily life it's the Constitution that established the office of the President of the United States and is the Constitution that sets forth my responsibilities at home and abroad a constitution that guides my dealings with the Congress the judiciary and the members of my cabinet like secretary Bennett at the same time the Constitution plays a part in guiding each of your lives you see when founding fathers met in Philadelphia to draft that document they were thinking of the future they were thinking of the kind of country they wanted to leave for their children and their children's children they wanted their sons and daughters to grow up in a land that was safe for people of all religious faiths a land where they would be free to speak their minds and share shape their own lives a land where all would be free we're all heirs to the Constitution we're all the Constitution's children being the heirs to the Constitution is our good fortune but it also places upon us a responsibility the responsibility to nurture and defend this country so that when our turn comes we too can pass on to our children a nation of greatness and freedom and maybe that's the most important part of all that you've learned in studying and writing about the Constitution you have taken the first step toward shouldering your responsibilities as citizens of our country the country that you will one day lead so congratulations to all of you once again and to all your teachers and parents you all look so happy and proud and go busting any buttons and just god bless you all thank you very much mr. president we thought since all these children did so much homework and they represent the homework of more than a million children we ought to give you just very briefly a little sample of the work so I'd like to call on two of the Constitution's children to read some remarks the essays little essays they wrote first one to Nicholls who's an eighth grader from North Carolina Wanda would you step up if the document means so much to me the Constitution and its bill of rights have given me a distinct and honorable place in a Democratic Society I am a respected human being although I happen to belong to a minority I can do what I please within the limits of the law it has granted me rights and freedoms to pursue my human goals and aspirations freedom of worship and uh freedom of worship has reinforced and nourish my belief in God and consideration to fellow me freedom of speech and other press had given me the tools to speak out in a positive way because I am more informed these constitutional rights have made me a true believer in equal justice and equal opportunity to me the Constitution is right a beautiful and talented lady she is charming but unyielding to the onslaught of bigotry she is rigid but flexible she changes her mood or coordinates it away i preside to seize change yet i am not afraid to face changes because she is there to guard my identity anymore thank you step back here wanna thank you Wanda and mr. president representing the 1st 2nd 3rd and 4th grade we have mr. Justin swoop from the state of Maryland 2nd grader Justin on July 4th 1976 our country celebrated our 200th birthday I wasn't born until 1978 so I missed that celebration however on September 17th in Philadelphia Pennsylvania we will celebrate the birthday of our Constitution the Constitution is having its 200th birthday and I want to be there the Constitution is important to me it lets me go to my church no one is allowed in my house without my permission I can say anything I want when I get big I even get to vote for our leaders and maybe I'll be one I think our country is lucky we have the Constitution we all pay taxes there to help build roads schools parks courts and we pay police firemen but most important good leaders they make the laws we must live by in America I think the men who wrote the Constitution in 1787 were pretty smart I'm glad we have the Constitution I love living in America [Applause] I know it's time to let you all get in the shade now but you will appreciate it but just in closing a lot of these children here you here in Washington and you've seen I'm sure the Capitol and or are going to see if you haven't already in some of the great institutions and the buildings of government but there's one thing that you all must know while you're looking at all of us we all work for you you're the boss and I said in a State of the Union address some time ago something I'm going to repeat here to all of you because you probably weren't listening at the time as you go on in school you're probably going to see constitutions in your studies of other countries I've read a number of constitutions from other nations even including the Soviet Union and I'm surprised to find things in there that sound like ours the right of assembly the right to do this or that and you think well they seem similar but there is one great difference and the difference is so tiny that it's almost overlooked but it is so great that it spells the difference between all those constitutions and ours all those other constitutions are written by the government telling the people what they can do our Constitution is written by the people telling the government what it can do and the whole difference is the phrase in our Constitution we the people so when you're looking around here today why you see anything that needs correcting let us know you're the boss thank you all very much congratulations see | Reagan Library | UCMP5_7v48WfDKfoirLCcNgQ | 2018-10-25 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,339 | 7,359 |
5DTQinOmuEU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DTQinOmuEU | Raising Cooperative Capital for Worker Coops | welcome welcome welcome everyone uh thanks for joining us today we are uh joined today for our teach-in on raising cooperative capital um by some lovely asl interpreters so want to just start off by thanking them for interpreting um and uh we can get on with the show i'll explain everything else as we go along so um wanted to first thank the city of berkeley for funding this webinar um and showing the rest of the country that cities can put resources towards supporting the development of a cooperative economy i also want to thank all of those worker cooperative allies advocates and worker members who came out and pushed the city to support the growth of worker cooperatives and get this policy and and budget allocation passed um and thanks for joining today to talk about and learn about raising cooperative capital so a little bit about the sustainable economies law center the i want to first start off with a shout out to my co-worker janelle for most of the cartoons in today's presentation i'll be using um so just want to thank her sustainable economies law center cultivates a new legal landscape that supports community resilience and grassroots economic empowerment we provide essential legal tools education research advice and advocacy so communities everywhere can develop their own sustainable sources of food housing energy jobs and other vital aspects of a thriving community and in a short way for me i think about the sustainable economies law center in that our purpose is really to bridge the gap in legal expertise needed to transition from destructive economic systems to innovative and cooperative alternatives and so we know that to do this we need to intervene at specific points in our legal economic and cultural systems and so while we're trying to support the development of worker cooperatives and democratic nonprofit workplaces the purpose of our work for those two areas is to disrupt the oppressive dominant economic systems by helping to build more worker-controlled enterprises in order to more equitably distribute wealth and power in our communities so here's a little mock-up of how we are thinking about doing that um at all of these different levels okay a short introduction this is what we're going to get into into some of the meat of our conversation today so how can how will cooperatives afford to buy the tools that they need what about their workplace will they have rent or um or will they need to purchase property will they need cars or trucks obviously you're going to need money to do all these things so that's exactly what we're going to talk about today it's a fact that business either cooperatively run or otherwise needs money to succeed so how do you get that money today i want to be orienting y'all worker cooperative members and worker cooperative supporters to the considerations around raising cooperative capital in california so how can cooperatives raise capital that aligns with your values and do it legally and when you're trying to raise capital for your cooperative how do we stay out of trouble when we come up against a thing called securities laws um and so here's just the and the questions i'll hopefully be answering for folks today there's a lot of information today so just want to let you know don't worry if you're feeling a little overwhelmed as i'm moving through this this discussion this training we got you so if there's three things that you take away from today is one there are many ways to finance cooperatives and cooperative development if that's why you're here two securities laws are a thing and you need to be careful with them and three there's help so i'll be just orienting y'all to a lot of the laws that uh pertain to raising capital and don't worry if you get a little overwhelmed we have lots of resources and support to help you out so cooperative capital and the law i'll be going over some practical considerations that cooperatives should be considering when you're trying to navigate a legal system that was designed for a particular purpose and that purpose was not to help breed life into emancipatory life affirming projects or to protect the working class for example here are some slides that show that the combined wealth of all u.s billionaires during the covet pandemic has increased by 1.1 trillion dollars from yeah that's that's and between the same time one of the most tumultuous economic stretches in modern history 45 of the 50 most valuable publicly traded companies turned a profit and despite this success by billionaires and the top 50 most valuable publicly traded u.s companies turning a profit at least 27 of those largest firms held layoffs collectively cutting a hundred hundred 000 workers off of the workforce and the the hardest hit income group income groups in this country with the highest job losses were the lowest income workers so when we enter this discussion i don't want us to forget that fact that the legal system was not made by us or for us so a lot of additional challenges that worker cooperatives face on top of other small businesses that struggle to survive is because a lot of the law is not made to facilitate a future that is cooperative and based in solidarity and amongst and amongst a nationwide awakening of racial justice this pandemic related economic crisis has been particularly devastating for people of color this was true despite the fact that people of color made up and make up a disproportionate share of what we call essential workers who had to remain on the job so the way we've structured our economy and that includes at the organizational level and the legal structures that facilitate the relationships at our workplaces has chosen winners and losers and part of our work at the sustainable economies law center is to advocate for changes with all y'all that's center community voice power and control so one example of how this is held up by our legal system is rulings such as this one the divine right of capital that says a business corporation is organized and carried on primarily for the profit of stockholders the powers of directors are to be employed for that end so as we are talking about cooperatives this is a real fundamental shift in how we structure um our enterprises that can have ripple effects into our economy so as we enter the conversation about capital raising capital and cooperatives we face a problem when budding cooperatives are trying to bring in outside investors the types of investments that often run into security laws issues you of course want the money and resources represented by outside investors but these investors rarely are willing to invest without getting some skin in the game in terms of profit or control but giving up profits and control goes up against two core principles in cooperatives under the classic cooperative surplus or profit is distributed based on how much members patronize the cooperative and so for a worker cooperative that means how much labor for example you're putting into that business and control decisions are made under one member one vote basis so this is in contrast to outside investors wanting profits and control to be distributed based on how much money they put in and so at the sustainable economies law center we often call this strategy of seeking funds from non-institutional sources including friends and family members customers and the broader community in a way that aligns with cooperative values as grassroots financing because we want to live in a world where any project or enterprise can obtain financing from members of the local economy where the majority of businesses in a community are locally owned and locally financed and so today hopefully we can describe some ways that you can start to raise some capital that aligns with your cooperative values so to talk about raising cooperative capital we're gonna follow along a little story um of a worker-owned acorn smoothie cafe so this squirrel is starting a worker-owned acorn smoothie cafe and she needs money to buy a really expensive blender so she's going out to ask her ask folks to invest in her acorn smoothie cafe this squirrel has just broken security's law so it's really important to understand what securities laws are um and one thing uh and and this is one big thing to keep in mind anytime you're thinking about raising money you need to know at least a little bit about securities law it's really long a complicated set of rules that regulate the sale of securities but fortunately you don't need to really know any of that stuff just need to know three main things when you're raising capital uh community capital the first is what is a security so we'll talk about the definition of the security the second is that you cannot offer or sell a security without registering it and third unless you have an exemption so what is the basic definition of a security um a security is a financial instrument that represents ownership a debt agreement or the rights of rights to ownership someone is taking a financial interest in your enterprise with an expectation of return based on the performance of the business um in california there was a country club for example that raised money by selling memberships in the country club before it was developed and when the country club didn't actually get developed the court ruled that because the members were purchasing memberships at such an early stage of development they were putting their financial contributions at risk and thus their early purchases were securities under security law in california um and and the company got in a lot of trouble so what are some activities um that you could be doing that's creating a security selling stock in your company would trigger securities laws asking people to lend money to your business is security and offering a share of your business profits anytime you ask people to put money into your business or venture and you offer them a return you're creating a security now there's nothing wrong with doing these things but there are certain regulations and rules of disclosure that go along with with doing these things so um what about cooperative memberships it depends we'll get into it but just to be safe let's consider that selling memberships to your quad in your cooperative to members is a security the second thing to know about uh securities law is you cannot offer or sell a security without registering it um so why does it matter um what is or is not a security um if it's a security uh it must be registered with the u.s securities and exchange commission at the federal level um the second is that it has to be registered with the state that you're seeking investments in usually and other or otherwise like i said it must qualify for an exemption so even asking people to invest in your business could be illegal unless you register that security and a lot of these rules were written in the wake of the um the the great depression stock market crash um the reason why securities laws exist is protect investors from sketchy investments the hope is people will trust that the system will sufficiently protect their investment investments so a lot of securities laws were designed in the aftermath of this financial crash that led to the great depression as a way to protect investors from fraudulent or unduely risky investments so securities laws in a nutshell are really there to balance investor protection while at the same time facilitating investment into companies so what happens when you create a security that needs to be registered uh what happens is is that there's a lot of paperwork there's lots of regulations um and this does not feel fine and when you're trying to register a security it can really suck it's expensive it's time consuming there's lots of paperwork possibly requiring teams of lawyers to be working on navigating them and so lawyers who practice this area of law tend to carry higher premiums because of the risk also the technical jargon around securities laws have made them so inaccessible that non-specialists are scared to even deal with them that means that the only people that can navigate them are the rich and powerful so this has led to a situation where attorneys have voices in their head that say heck if i could get rich why not get rich and so lawyers aren't as especially lucrative profession and are vulnerable to following that voice which only makes the problem of raising community capital for your cooperatives more difficult ah so maybe after hearing that um you think i've heard enough you might feel like pretty already exhausted wanting to avoid creating a security and you want to get around all these things so some cooperatives do just try to avoid securities laws and getting investments in the with an expectation of return from the investors and so what they can do is start to raise capital in ways that don't trigger securities laws so for example squirrel decides to ask for donations which a for-profit company can totally do donors just don't get a tax write-off so donation crowdfunding is typically the can be the sometimes the most feasible funding for when you're trying to raise somewhere between five and fifty thousand it takes a lot of time and effort and it takes a lot of leveraging your personal relationships so donation crowdfunding is a really great option for early stage cooperatives that have a network in a robust community that and the cooperative is unlikely to be generating enough revenues to reliably pay off investors in the near term so here's an example of a worker cooperative that used crowdfunding through kiva kiva offers zero interest loans um sometimes this security sometimes not we don't need to get into it but the thing is is that um it's there as a resource and um and it's been used by worker cooperatives successfully to help raise crowdfund capital that doesn't trigger securities laws i just want to know a cautionary tale to be careful when you're trying to do crowdfunding the internet is a tricky place you never know what's going to catch on don't expect it to be you don't expect your crowdfunding to be as easy as this guy who started out by asking for a with a 10 goal to create a new recipe for potato salad in the first week this guy raised 11 000 along the way he set new benchmarks for success um and by the end he raised over 55 000 for a new potato salad recipe so um brown the guy who was raising this money pledged to do some good with our little internet joke about a potato salad um and he promised to donate a significant portion to nonprofits and and things but this is just a cautionary tale you'll never know what's going to catch on um for a crown funding campaign and it usually takes a lot of work another thing that we've seen worker cooperatives do when they're trying to avoid securities law and raise capital for their business is pre-selling so here the squirrel is pre-selling a certificate um to for acorn smoothies in exchange for some startup capital an example of a business that did this was an oakland awaken cafe where they sold cafe creator cards for 800 each which entitled the card holder once the business was opened um to for a thousand dollars worth of coffee at the cafe so that was an example a successful example of pre-selling for starting off the business and getting that initial capital another example of pre-selling is for expansion alchemy collective cafe in berkeley has done multiple rounds of pre-selling to expand their operations from the time that they were coffee cart at community markets um to having a small storefront and then doing another round of pre-selling to then move to a larger cafe space so this is a lot less risky because there's less of a chance that the buyers won't get what they actually paid for um and this is just a page from their when they were doing this campaign another way that i think a lot of people forget about when they're trying to raise capital for their cooperative is that uh is bartering so the law center takes a lot of clients for example um and will barter our legal services for their business services like catering or cleaning we've also heard of attorneys and other businesses bartering their services for another company for another worker cooperative in exchange for paintings for food the services of of that company instead of cash payments so there's a lot of opportunity there that people will can forget about another way that cooperatives worker cooperatives can access capital um as if that doesn't trigger securities laws as if the cooperative has a partner that's a 501c3 nonprofit and they're able to access grants through this through that 501c3 for example here mandela marketplace or mandela partners was able to get some grant funding and to help subsidize the development of mandela grocery a worker-owned cooperative in west oakland so at some point though and for the squirrel at this point she didn't have enough money and maybe you won't either even if you do all of those things whether it's donation based crowdfunding or pre-selling so what's the third thing that you need to know about securities laws third thing is that you have to register it unless you have an exemption so we're going to be talking about some exemptions to securities laws um that'll will allow you and your cooperative to raise some um additional and probably larger sums of money cake i like cake it's nice so there's two levels like this cake when you're thinking about securities laws the first is the federal level um and the second is the state level so there's um and we should remember that maybe there's some folks from outside of california on the webinar today each state's laws are different when you're trying to raise capital so each state regulates regulates securities laws with their own set of rules so it's important to know what your state's securities exemptions are so talk to an attorney do your research the sustainable economies law center has legal fellows around the country so if you can't find somebody in your state you can always look to our website and see if one of our legal fellows is there in your state so today i'm only going to be talking about one federal level exemption that that we see used all the time the interest exemption so interest data exemption just means that as long as your principal place of business is in one state and 80 percent of your gross revenues or business assets or the majority of your employees are within that state and the sale of those investment opportunities those securities are only made to residents of that state then you don't need to worry about filing federal paperwork with the securities and exchange commission so and one important thing to note um while i'm talking about exemptions is that these are exemptions from the permit uh or registration requirements um and not an exemption from providing potential investors with relevant accurate and material information about an offering so you can see the california state year holding the prospectus which is typically the thing that you're going to give your investors that has a business plan talks about the risks of the investment and the terms of the investment itself so i'm going to go over a few state level exemptions at the california state level to talk about different ways that your cooperative can raise capital um the first is the cooperative membership exemption so in california a key source of funds well actually everywhere key source of funds for member-owned cooperatives is and has been its members so raising equity from your members has been shown to increase the success rate of cooperatives in california there's an exemption for memberships or shares of a california cooperative corporation but only to a thousand dollars per per member um another thing another exemption that exists within the cooperative corporations law in california is what's called the california cooperative community investor exemption so this was [Music] done by some policy advocacy by the sustainable economies law center and our partners to get a law passed to help find ways for worker cooperatives to raise additional capital that didn't give away that power or profits to outside investors the same way that conventional companies do so in california you can offer investment opportunities of up to a thousand dollars to california residents and they can invest in their in your worker cooperative even if they are not workers there and they have very limited voting rights um the only voting rights that they have is around if the business wants to merge with another business they want to sell a major asset of the business if they want to reorganize the business or if they want to dissolve the cooperative itself and there's also a cap on the return of that investment at 15 so when we were writing the laws we wanted to make sure that we were providing a way for people to invest in worker cooperatives to help grow the worker cooperative community without giving over the same rights and and um profits that conventional companies will do and these exemptions not don't only work for worker cooperatives they work for multi-stakeholder cooperatives as long as there's a worker cooper worker member class so here's two examples of a multi-stakeholder cooperative where you have a worker member class and you have other members from other classes coming together to build a cooperative the people power solar cooperative does community scale solar installation and they are multi-um stakeholder cooperative and they were able to use this exemption to help them get off uh the ground and also the east bay permanent real estate cooperative which is owned by the worker members the staff collective that run the cooperative but also the residents of the um of the properties that the east bay permanent real estate cooperative jointly owns with the residents another exemption is a friends and family exemption so in california you can have up to 35 investors of people who you already have a pre-existing relationship with but you just can't advertise it um and it's a simple filing form with the department of corporations so if you've got some friends or family who you have a relationship with who are willing to invest in your cooperative this is an exemption that you can use it's that's very simple another way to raise capital um that has an exemption around securities law is the really rich insiders exemption and insider's exemption so accredited investors accredited investors are very wealthy people so what an accredited investor is is an individual or spouses with combined assets of a million over a million dollars that and it doesn't include their residence or an individual with over two hundred thousand dollars of income per year or when it spouses 300 300 000 of income per year these people the um the state of california just thinks they have enough money they can do what they want with it and they don't need to register those investments so these people are able to protect themselves these are what typically can be called angel investors or venture capitalists and i just want to point out that only 2 percent of the u.s population meets this criteria but maybe you know one of somebody in this two percent another um exemption is the insiders exemption so this is for the directors or officers of a company so securities kicks in when somebody is expecting profits based solely on the efforts of a third party so if you're actively involved in running the cooperative and you're on the board you can be exempt and invest more than that cooperative membership exemption of a thousand dollars so we've seen worker cooperatives around the bay area that are collectively run um have their membership be three or five thousand dollars to buy into the cooperative and sometimes you can do that all in lump sum or you can decide that your cooperative wants to do it as a payroll deduction over time so there's ways that you can still have a higher buy-in for worker members to help capitalize the business that's done over a period of time and and so if you have some folks who don't have that much capital on hand to buy in you can find ways to make it accessible to them the last way that i'll talk about is direct public offerings so this is sort of like an initial public offering but direct instead of doing it through wall street you're doing it directly to your communities so you'll he you might be hearing the term direct public offering when you're talking to attorneys or other folks who do who help people and help businesses raise capital but there's no legal definition of a direct public offering usually what they're talking about when they use the term is that it's an offering that's advertised to the public that can get investments from both accredited and non-accredited investors regular people um and you don't have to use an intermediary or a broker so um and that's exactly what the squirrel did to to help capitalize uh their acorn or her acorn smoothie business um so that was those are some ways to understand securities laws and to navigate them and raise some capital for your cooperative next i'll just go over some principles for democratic capital then we're going to hear from one of my uh friends and colleagues uh gregory jackson about uh one way that he is working to access democratic capital and then we'll hear from the city of berkeley uh kieran to talk about how berkeley is supporting access to capital for worker cooperatives before we get there i just want to go over some principles for more democratic capital so as we're talking with cooperatives we like to figure out first what are some principles for them to use as they're navigating their cooperative experience in their in the development of their business and we want to structure the investments for cooperatives following principles for a more sustainable and equitable economy and the three things that we've identified three principles are caps on extraction permanent removal from the market and decentralizing power and governance so the first principle caps on extraction what do we mean um prioritizing long-term sustainability by capping returns on investment to a reasonable amount so that 15 percent cap on on return that's an example of a cap on extraction so you're restricting revenue or profit sharing for a period of of years to allow the cooperative to um become sustainable and grow and not give or give out what typical capitalist investors would expect the second is permanent removal from the market we want to make sure that local sustainable economies remain local and sustainable by preventing assets from being sold on the speculative market so as you're thinking about ways to capitalize your cooperative don't allow investors to transfer or sell the securities or the stock that they buy in your cooperative add conditions to investments to prevent the cooperative from selling itself on the speculative market so we've seen in the past worker-owned businesses and worker cooperatives who didn't put in barriers to selling selling out at some point when they became really successful an example of this is new belgium brewery it was a 100 employee-owned company that decided i believe about a year to two years ago to sell to an international alcohol and beverage company and so the current current worker owners got a great windfall but now that company is no longer employee-owned and the third principle is to decentralize power and governance and so like i've mentioned earlier when people invest in a business they typically want control and ownership rights like this vc bro on on the left um and it and that's that's a conventional um idea of what in investments should be and they don't need to be there's no legal reason why they need to be bundled that way we can separate that bundle out and create more democratic equitable capital to meet our cooperatives needs and so one example of untangling that bundle of rights is the seed commons and repaired nations so if gregory jackson um is here if you could turn on oh hey greg and gregory's going to talk a little bit about the seed commons and repaired nations and how they are using non-extractive capital to help develop worker cooperatives greg cool thank you ricardo uh happy to be here thank you for having me so as ricardo said my name is gregory jackson i am a staff attorney at the law center and also a co-founder of repaired nation which was started in 2018 to help build more black cooperative businesses here in the bay area and specifically oakland and we've been able to partner with cooperation richmond which is another seed cummins fund up in richmond um as we started and uh we're currently like in the process of like onboarding into the seat commons building out our loan fund and starting to build our pipeline of projects um and uh hearing ricardo speak about securities uh reminds me of some of the experience i've had with him i mean i can say that especially for the um friends and family exemption um it's much more doable than it sounds and it only cost a few hundred dollars to fill out um with the local or with the state uh securities agency so that's something everyone should be thinking about but seed commons has this principle of non-extractive loans and so for the peer funds across the company across the country which share in this cooperative revolving loan fund network um everyone is committed to supporting the projects so that they're able to pay back the loans that they receive from net profits that also include um [Music] like paying market rate um how do i say salaries and so um oftentimes uh the loan funds that are working with clients are just as committed to getting the client success as the clients are because the loans don't get paid back until the clients reach that level of success um as ricardo said um you know investments or loans can be pretty extractive and uh very expensive especially here in the bay area um and so um like as you all are like getting into the ecosystem and understanding like you know there's a lot of co-ops here especially in berkeley um however we still like i think many co-ops will tell you like and businesses in general that like the hardest part is getting the money and the great thing about seed commons is that the project officers are helping the cooperatives to create their business model canvas which is a scaled-down version of a business plan helping to create like pnls either projections or actuals i mean like walking folks through the process of understanding their business and their industry more so that when the loans do get accepted by the national sustainability committee um you know they have a high rate of success um i think uh like i wasn't sure if i was going to be uh here to answer questions or or just share on my experiences but um like having yeah like i mentioned uh a little bit of experiences with limited offerings at the east bay permanent real estate cooperative and you know my experience working in like real estate as well as the seat commons i'm really open to answering questions if anyone has them so feel free to send me an email greg the self.org yeah it's great to be here and to share a little bit about what we've been up to i'm happy to uh like expand more on another time thanks greg um yeah we'll we'll hear uh next from kieran and then afterward we'll have some q a time so greg if you can stick around for that that'd be um that'd be great um so next um we are going to talk or hear a little bit about the berkeley revolving loan fund um and and i just want to say that the berkeley revolving loan fund was does some changes were made to make it more accessible to worker co-ops which we'll hear about and it was done over years of policy advocacy and efforts from the bay area worker cooperative community um so i just want to acknowledge them so uh kieran slaughter would you like to how's it going pretty good how are you i'm pretty good thanks thanks for joining us yeah thank you and thanks for inviting me to this teach-in and um it's nice to see and hear and meet from you all those that do have the cameras on but i understand folks are multitasking um and um i think what i'll do is i will share my screen if you can grant me that and i will just briefly go through some of the background of the um our revolving loan fund and let's see here all right who almost hit the leave button that wouldn't have been good all right let's see here and i have two screens so just bear with me all right cool hopefully you guys can see it some with office of economic development just briefly these are our core services but the one most of you all are interested in is how we are supporting um work on cooperatives through our revolving loan fund but i think it's always important just to give the full scope of of what we offer here in the city manager's office of economic development this is our mission and this is our team and so just a brief program overview because um as i've learned many folks aren't necessarily aware that that many cities have um programs such as this and so you may be in a city that has this and just not be aware that that your local jurisdiction or local um cdfi offers this type of funding and so um basically here's the overview it's it's a program that's supposed to offer loans with attractive interest rates it's supposed to facilitate small business expansion to help start up costs or help by funding equipment it's really designed as a tool for equitable development non-profits arts organizations are eligible and their true goal is the creation or retention of permanent jobs we also obviously want to facilitate investment through commercial growth and to help revitalize the city um and but i'll be brief basically the funding was provided by the economic development administration and the whole idea is to revolve those loans so make loans get a little bit of interest and recirculate those back to the community and that's kind of how it works and so what we offer are typical loan sizes around 35 to 150 000 these are the rates the rates are kind of set by our admin plan and the new regulations for support for cooperatives um like you said the hard work that silk and project equity put forward generated additional revenue from the city to support the conversion of cooperatives and we think this is awesome for all the reasons you guys are on this call learning about why cooperatives are awesome and if you know that already but this is something that we feel should help move the needle and make it more approachable for cooperatives to want to apply to our revolving loan fund and some of the new regulations that we have are enabling the use of loan capital for conversion to work our own corroborators previously that was a barrier allowing a panel of worker owned cooperatives to provide the personal guarantee so that way if there's a shift in folks who are part of the cooperative you don't have to start from scratch we like to include the creation of retention of worker on jobs as a selection criteria and we have a new goal of a minimum of 10 percent of our portfolio being for corporatists and we have a loan administration board so our board is appointed by each one of our um each one of our council members and they get one each and these are the folks who make the decisions on loan applications and help work with loans i just ended the meeting where we do an annual tour where this year was virtual but we we we hear a report from each one of our recipients on how things are going how can we help what can we do to make things better for you are you having trouble paying back the loan so there's flexibility and a personal touch um here with the city of berkeley and just to give you a snapshot of kind of what our portfolio looks like and who's out there and who's receiving what and kind of what the terms looks like that's just a good quick snapshot on what it looks like so mostly around 60 60 month terms and five and a half percent and i'll just quickly browse through some of our recipients our current arla borrowers borrowers you may know cupcake and she's in oakland in berkeley she's expanding in north berkeley we've got the east bay media center we've got a kitchen on fire experiential kitchen cooking class nabalan bakery and pizzeria sling fin they make tents and backpacks and high-tech gear and um we also have a salon and a press and so we do typical outreach and marketing word of mouth city staff elected officials and i guess the challenge i will say for those who are considering applying is that it does take there is a process it's there is some bureaucracy we have to have public meetings and it does take a while to get to the contracting part but um that's what the process looks like and it used to be that this program was focused on one area in berkeley but it's expanded through the entire city and so i will conclude the presentation and stop sharing and just let you all know that um we really value this partnership that we have and that we're excited to to to share and to learn um this was something new to me when i came on board three years ago the world of cooperatives i i you know grew up in the bay area and so i was always familiar with those types of businesses but didn't really know exactly the details and the structure behind it so this has been a learning opportunity for city staff and we've actually had opportunities to teach other city staff and other economic development professionals more about cooperatives and the benefits and and how they can be more accommodating and so i'll take a pause there and um hand it back over to ricardo okay thank you karen so um we are just going to touch on some resources for folks so that you know what's out there and then and then we'll have some breakout room discussions so some resources city of berkeley kieran is a great resource both for berkeley residents and i know that there's folks from across the country so if you're trying to get your city to do something different and support worker cooperatives uh city of berkeley is here co-op law.org everything i've been going over today is on co-op law.org as well as additional manuals and resources for your cooperatives we have our resilient communities legal cafe which we hold three times per month which the city of berkeley is also supporting and so that's a space to come talk with attorneys and cooperative specialists about your cooperative ideas and and legal questions shared capital cooperative they're based in minnesota i believe but they are a great resource for the cooperative community nationally in lending to and having really cooperative principles embedded in their investments cutting edge capital they do a lot of work around direct public offerings so if that's something that you're interested in they're based in oakland california and you can reach out to them they do work nationally the working world is the organization behind the seed commons that gregory was talking about they're another great resource of course there's project equity who's based here in the bay area and supports with worker cooperative conversions democracy at work institute has a lot of resources um they're the non-profit think and do tank of the us federation of worker cooperatives which is the only national member membership based organization of worker cooperatives and democratic workplaces so those are a few resources i'll also be sending out a recording of this this webinar as well as the slide deck so for folks who are interested in that um we want your feedback so i'll be sending an email out if you rsvp'd um with a with a feedback form to let us know how we did and how we can do better and now um we have about uh half an hour-ish left so i want to see if we can have some breakout rooms if folks are interested in diving deeper um into this into some discussion um we'll have kieran hopefully participating in one of the breakout rooms talking about how the city can support worker cooperatives and answering questions about the revolving loan fund or or the city's processes we'll also have miyaka who is from project equity their business manage business engagement and partnership manager talking from project equities perspective uh about how they can support your business converting to a worker cooperative we'll also be joined by laura smoot a cooperative bookkeeper and accountant at rye financial who has a depth of experience with cooperatives and collectives and how money impacts the way worker members relate to each other so like that real lived experience so we'll have um maybe one breakout room with uh with kieran and miyaka and a second breakout room um with with laura smoot so i'll stop sharing my screen and we can create those breakout rooms | SustainableEconomies LawCenter | UCAr5sK9Rmu6m81nEn_lTL1Q | 2021-02-10 | Creative Commons Attribution

A8v8UwkORdw | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A8v8UwkORdw | 130928 Harmless Happiness \ \ Thanissaro Bhikkhu \ \ Dhamma Talks | foreign passages on Goodwill every evening because they're a good framework for the meditation they remind us of why we're here we're looking for a special kind of happiness that happiness that doesn't conflict with the true happiness of anyone else you look at the way most people look for happiness in the world and The Pursuit of Happiness leads to a lot of divisions if I want something and you want the same thing and it's a material object or a relationship of some kind one of us is going to have to lose out that's why they're normal pursuit of happiness is often considered a selfish thing and it creates a lot of divisions but when we meditate we're looking for a kind of happiness it doesn't need to take anything from anyone it actually makes us better people more generous people so we have more more to offer other people it's the kind of Happiness where we benefit and other others benefit and there's no clear dividing line it's the special sense of well-being that you gain from the meditation is yours but the fact that you've got that is a kind of strength and a kind of wealth and it's through strength that we can be kind to others and it's through wealth that we can be generous so even though their strength isn't measured in external forces and the wealth isn't measured in money still it's a very tangible thing so something you want to work on all the time because it's useful in two main areas one is dealing with your own internal pains and external discomforts both physical and mental patience is an important part of the practice endurance is an important part of the practice and it's not just simply gritting your teeth trying to get through something you develop a strength inside that you can tap into a sense of well-being that makes it a lot easier endurance may not be easy but knowing how to focus the Mind knowing how to control your thoughts so they don't create a lot of Havoc inside can make endurance a lot easier to bear himself when he was wounded by a stone a stone sliver went right through his foot you can imagine how painful that was there's a passage where Mara comes and taunts him why are you lying down there like a sleepy head are you drunk on poetry you would have said no I lie down here with good will for all beings that's one of the ways in which he created strength to deal with the pain was developing Goodwill the concentration that comes from Goodwill can take them on far and at the same time it takes you away from being focused on your pains and all the stories that we tend to develop around pains as you know one of the topics of meditation is looking at feelings in and of themselves and it's hard to look at them in and of themselves feeling comes up and we've got a story to go along with it is the Buddha said it was shot by one arrow and then we shoot ourselves with other arrows the physical pain is the first arrow and then all the other arrows that we think up that's how we make it difficult to deal with the pain to try to get the mind in the state of concentration find the part of the body that's not in pain Focus there if it seems like the whole body is in pain okay focus on thoughts of Goodwill at the very least you're here not harming anyone else they're developing good qualities of mind that gives you strength so what other people say hurtful words when difficult things come from outside you've got the strength to deal with it in a skillful way one of the things I noticed coming back to America was a confirmation of something I'd learned in Thailand ties tend to regard Americans as being very weak in dealing with pain dealing with difficulties you notice that after 9 11. a lot of people just couldn't handle the idea that they weren't perfectly safe on Thailand people have to learn that danger is all around and you learn how to live with it and there are lots of discomforts in life you learn how to live with those and not get overwhelmed by them that's why we'd like to keep things simple here at the monastery it's a test for your concentration and as practice and learning how to do without don't have the evening meal the accommodations are simple which means you've got to learn how to look for your pleasure inside staying here with a breath developing the qualities of mindfulness and alertness around the breath directing your thoughts to the breath evaluating the breath so you can develop a sense of well-being inside that's not just a physical well-being you're trying to develop a sense of mental well-being as well here you are perfectly harmless that's a good thing to remember even when the meditation may not be going so well the fact that you're trying to train the mind is a totally harmless thing there's so few things in the world that are harmless and you're developing strength kind of strengthen which you can learn how to rely learn how to trust yourself because as we all know life isn't just one easy progression to better and better things all the time the body starts aging there's a nice passage in the cannon this one monk says in aging comes it's like your body is like somebody else's it's not the body you had before you're used to having certain strengths certain abilities a certain level of Health then all of a sudden this goes and that goes and it's not like your whole body it's like it's something else that's just aging then there's illness in their stuff what is your Refuge going to be that's the strength of mind that you develop as you learn how to deal with difficulties and you find that you do have sources of strength that you wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't been placed in certain difficulties had a number of students who after he passed away began to slack off in their meditation the ones who didn't slack off tended to be the ones who had an illness of one kind or another and they realized that the meditation was the only way they were going to be able to keep themselves together to withstand the pain to deal with the fact that the body was going to be weak he gained strength from training the mind both physical strength and a kind of moral strength in the sense that you are not going to be tempted to do anything unskillful no matter how much discomfort you're in no matter how bad the situation gets you want to be able to rely on this strength so we look for our goodness within we look for our strength within our inner wealth Within take whatever potentials we've got and make the most of them because that's where your hope for true happiness can actually find something that's not just an empty hope you can find a real Foundation so it may seem like a little thing to work with the breath but it's a really important skill it's one of the few things that sticks with you all the way through life and the strengths of mine that you develop staying with a breath we'll stick with you beyond all through life so give this practice the attention it deserves the respect it deserves one of the basic concepts in Buddhism is Refuge and this is where you find it examples of the Buddha Sangha but for their examples to be really helpful to really make a difference we have to internalize our qualities that's what we do as we practice so that even though there is aging illness and death the mind doesn't have to suffer that's one of the contemplations that the Buddha has you think about you want to practice who you find entertainment inside so that even when aging comes you won't have to suffer even when illness comes even when death comes you won't have to suffer that's a really worthwhile motivation because it also means that on your way to aging illness and death you're not going to do anything it's going to harm anybody it's like they're saying those signs as you go into Wilderness you leave no Trace leave no trace of harm and you'll be able to look back on your life without any regrets | Dhamma Talks by Thanissaro Bhikkhu | UC6FSq_ptJ-I6aTHT-XA_e0Q | 2014-06-18 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en |

CXStaTLSVyQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXStaTLSVyQ | 2015 Paper 2 Question 9 - Leaving Cert Higher Project Maths | hi there in this question we're told that Joan is playing golf she is 150 meters from the center of a circular green of diameter 30 meters the diagram shows the range of directions in which Joan can hit the ball so that it could land on the green find alpha the measure of the angle of this range of directions and give your answer in degrees correct to one decimal place okay so let's have a good look at this and we can see that if the diameter of the circular green is 30 then the radius is 15 we know that the length from where she's hitting the shot to the center of the green is 150 meters these are all in meters so we have the opposite length and the hypotenuse so we could find half of alpha by using opposite over hypotenuse which would be sine so let's do that let's get half of alpha so we know that sine of alpha over 2 is opposite over hypotenuse so that's 15 over 150 which is 1 over 10 so all we need to do is get sine inverse of 1 over 10 and we will have alpha well alpha over 2 sine inverse of 1 over 10 is five point seven four degrees so that's alpha over two so we just need to multiply that by 2 to get alpha and that means that alpha is eleven point where rounds to eleven point five degrees to one decimal place okay moving on at the next hole Joan at T attempts to hit the ball in the direction of the hole H her shot is off target and the ball lands at a a distance of 190 meters from T where the angle a th is 18 degrees th is 385 meters find aah okay so this what we're looking for this distance here eh the distance from the ball to the hole correct to the nearest meter okay in this the triangle is not right-angled we're given two sides and the angle in between and whenever you're given that the best thing to use is the cosine rule because the sine rule will work so we look at page 16 of the tables and we see the cosine rule and we know the angle 18 so the side opposite it is X so that's going to be the first thing in our formula x squared is going to be and then you've the other side 190 squared plus three eight five squared minus two times one ninety times three eight five times cosine of the angle we know which is 18 well let's put the whole lot into the calculator all in one go and we get that x squared is equal to four five one eight five point four three so X would be the square root of that is to one two point five seven and we want that to the nearest meter so we'll say that X is approximately equal to two one three meters at another hole where the ground is not level Joan hits the ball from K as shown the ball lands at be the height of the ball in meters above the horizontal line OB is given by H is minus 60 squared plus 22 t plus 8 where T is time in seconds after the ball is struck and H is the height of the ball okay so find the height of K above OB well what we're looking for here is the height when T is 0 we substitute in 0 and we will guess of course 8 and the unit is in meters so this is 8 meters here the horizontal speed of the ball over the straight distance OB is a constant 38 meters per second find the angle of elevation of K from be correct to the nearest degree okay well we would like to know the horizontal distance I'll call this D from all to B so how could we find D well we could find where does the function H is a function of T which describes the height when is that 0 again because it'll be 0 again at B over here so let's solve the equation where H 0 and we'll find the time it takes to get to the point B and then we know it's going at a constant 38 meters per second so we should be able to find the distance D so 0 is equal to minus 6t squared plus 22 t plus 8 so let's change the signs and divide across by 2 so we have 3t squared minus 11 t plus minus 4 equal to 0 and I think this probably factorizes let's check and see if it does if it does it'll be 3 T and T and what about minus 4 and plus 1 if I try the inside and the outside I get minus 12t plus 1 T is minus 11 T so that is correct so I have the correct factors so let's just continue with that and we get 3 T is equal to minus 1 so T is equal to minus 1 over 3 or T is equal to 4 well minus 1 over 3 is no good to me I can rule that out because minus 1/3 of a second makes no sense at all in the context of this question so my answer is clearly after 4 seconds now if it takes 4 seconds to get from o to B well to get from K to B and let's go now that constant 38 meters per second is the horizontal speed we just multiplied 38 by 4 because if it's going to 38 meters every second and it takes 4 seconds we just multiply 38 times 4 is 152 metres and that is the distance from o to B ok so now we have a triangle quite a easy triangle to solve because it's right-angled it looks like this with 8 here it's a right angle 1 5 2 here and we're asked to find the angle of elevation of K from B so in other words we're asked to find this angle here so let's call that theta and we just go tan inverse of 8 over 1 5 2 is equal to theta so theta is equal to 3 point 0 1 degrees make sure your calculator is set to degrees so theta is approximately equal to 3 degrees because we're asked for it to the nearest degree and now at a later hole Jones first shot lands at the point G on ground that is sloping downwards as shown a vertical tree c/e 25 meters high stands between G and the hole the distance GC from the ball to the bottom of the tree is also 25 meters the angle of elevation at G to the top of the tree E is theta where theta is tan inverse 1 over 2 okay so we can see we have H is from the distance from D to E and D is the horizontal distance so if tan inverse of theta is 1 over 2 we have a ratio which says that H over D is equal to 1 over 2 so let's write that in for the moment it might be useful the height of the top of the tree above the horizontal GD is H meters and G D is d meters okay so write D and CD CD okay in terms of H well D because of this equation here I can cross multiply so we have D is equal to 2 H and also we're looking for CD which is this distance here well that's going to be 25 takeaway H so cd25 takeaway H so I just need to write my answers into the correct space then here hence or otherwise find H okay we know that this hypotenuse is 25 meters we have CD in terms of H and we have D in terms of H so let's form an equation because we have a right angle here using the three lengths of the triangle so we have that 25 squared is equal to d squared which is 2 H squared plus CD squared which is 25 - hey squared and we should be able to solve that for H so we have 25 squared is equal to 4 H squared plus and then I'll open up a bracket hereand square out this says 25 squared minus 50 h plus h squared and then just remove the brackets okay what do I have to do now I can subtract 25 squared from both sides and what am I left with v5 h squared minus 50 H so I just need it and that's going to be 0 0 on the left I just need to solve this I can divide across by 5 so I still get 0 H squared minus 10 H and now factorize taking out the H and we get H minus 10 0 so therefore H is 0 or H is 10 well H can't be 0 because that wouldn't give you tan inverse 1 over 2 so we know that H can't be 0 so in fact H must be 10 and the unit's is meters and we're done so that was a fairly straightforward context and applications question and that's it finished so thanks for watching bye for now you | TheMathsTutor.ie | UC-6NnHT6NL6IDITbe0sKbXA |

0G3_XMcWM6A | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G3_XMcWM6A | Bolton to Clean House At NSC … Obama’s People Should “Start Packing Their Sh**” | Bolton to Clean House At NSC … Obama’s People Should “Start Packing Their Sh**” President Donald Trump announced last Thursday that he had chosen former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. John Bolton to succeed U.S. Army Lt. Gen. H.R. McMaster as head of the National Security Council and chief foreign policy adviser. To say that Bolton’s tough conservative outlook toward our nation’s enemies does not sit well with the left is an understatement, and it didn’t take long before rumors began to circulate that Bolton plans to “purge” the NSC once he takes command in April, Breitbart reported Wednesday. Those rumors largely stemmed from an article in Foreign Policy that claimed Bolton is expected to “clean house” shortly after his arrival, and staffers who still remain from the previous administration are likely to be among the first to be fired. Others believed to be “targeted” by Bolton in the upcoming transition include those who had been “disloyal” to Trump, those suspected or found to have made unauthorized leaks to the media and even some who were brought in under McMaster but not considered to be in line with Trump’s agenda. “Bolton can and will clean house,” stated one former White House official, while another former official declared: “Everyone who was there during Obama years should start packing their sh**.” The former ambassador is expected to bring in his own team almost immediately, but given the rate at which security clearances are being processed for Trump administration staffers, it could take some time before he is able to truly “purge” the NSC of Obama holdovers and McMaster loyalists and put all of the people he wants in place. Foreign Policy noted that it wouldn’t be all that unusual for Bolton to want to “clean house” and bring in like-minded people to fill the team. McMaster did much the same thing — though perhaps to a lesser extent — when he took over for short-lived National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. The outlet reported that Bolton — perhaps due to his recent years as a policy analyst on Fox News — was a “known quantity” by Trump, and pointed out that Bolton’s tough stance toward rivals like North Korea and Iran, as well as his dim view of multilateral diplomatic efforts by the United Nations and European Union, would seemingly place him in line with Trump’s “peace through strength” and “America First” doctrines. But Bolton also holds a hard view towards Russia, and the Foreign Policy writers — perhaps still beholden to the liberal media-perpetuated view that Trump is soft on Russia — wondered if that supposed difference could create a conflict between the two men in the future. Our readers may recall that Bolton met with Trump during the transition period in late 2016, but obviously was not hired or appointed to a position at that time. Foreign Policy reported that Bolton met with Trump again in July 2017 and was offered the deputy NSA position — with a promise that he would eventually receive the top spot. However, Bolton demurred on the deputy position and decided to wait until the top spot was cleared. Some suspect that recent information believed to be leaked from McMaster’s NSC staff — specifically in relation to Trump’s recent congratulatory phone call to Russian President Vladimir Putin following his re-election — may have sped up the timeline off McMaster’s exit from the White House. Many of the assertions put forward by Foreign Policy are speculations based upon anonymous sources, and we all know how the liberal media’s increased reliance on anonymous sources has panned out for them over the past few years. That said, it would not be the least bit surprising — and indeed quite refreshing — if these reports are true and Bolton does intend to “clean house” once he arrives. Individuals surreptitiously working to undermine Trump’s policies cannot be allowed to stay. Here’s to hoping that former Ambassador Bolton really does lay down the law when he takes over the NSC and puts in place a team committed and prepared to fully implement Trump’s foreign policy agenda. | Headline News 24/7 | UC2-UjVm_wImBCybeV7SOxUw | 2018-03-30 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 684 | 4,064 |

rkLqtqAXSug | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkLqtqAXSug | Contributed talks - Dynamical processes: electron and energy transfers, quantum biology (DynET) | hi everyone hi everyone i'm giovanni and i'm going to talk you about 10 second current spectroscopy of large portfolio nano rings today so i'm gonna start from the basics so i'm gonna start by describing a simplest let's say time result experiment in the femtosecond picosecond time domain uh time scale can be described so in the the simplest experiment that we can conceive is called uh let's say indivisible ranges transient absorption so it's a two poles experiment we have a first intense and short femtosecond light poles which induces a perturbation in the sample and after some time we look at this perturbation by a second at a weaker pose which is usually broadband is typically a white light in the modern days and these second balls we look at in the frequency domain on a detector what we do here is to that the palm pulse is usually modulated at a frequency so that we can record sort of a sequential spectra in of the probe in which we have the sample which has been perturbed by the pump and operator by the pump and then we can perform a subtraction of the let's say pump or minus pump of spectra so that we record a a differential spectra between the two different conditions and if we do so for a series of time delays different time delays between these two laser pulses of course we can recover dynamical evolution of the system in real time even on really fast and short time scales and on top of that if the pump and probe actually as well pulses are short enough in the time domain and broad enough in the spectral domain on top of that we can also access to coherent dynamics of our molecular system or let's say solid-state system if we're interested in that's what we're interested in so how do we what we can learn from these differential spectra so basically uh uh in a different spectrum we can have either positive or negative signals uh if we basically have like more light that reaches the detector when the sample has been perturbed by a pump or if you have less light so here in this figure i'm showing of a molecule at increasing time delay showing different colors and so we can see that we have positive and negative regions so the uh let's say the first negative region i want to look at is the one enclosed by a orange square and that's what we call ground state bleach so it's a negative signal and it's caused by the fact that the pump excites the sample so the probe sees a sample which is more transparent let's say then when it's not perturbed and that's a negative signal as we can see and of course usually matches in the spectral domain the steady state absorption of our molecule if we move to the red so to the right side in the wavelength domain we have another region where we usually have negative signals which are called stimulated so this is when the basically the pump excites the sample the probe sees an excited state and it um stimulates that excited state to decay back to the ground state emitting an identical photon so we have more light reaching the sample in this case and so this is negative again and if we move to the blue instead in the green rectangular thing we can see that we have some positive signals and this is called excited state absorption this doesn't have a steady-state correspondence and it's basically the excited state that is prepared by the pump which is fairly excited to let's say higher energy excited states by the pro pulses and of course if the first uh pulse generates a chemical reaction triggers a chemical reaction and we produce a photo product that for the product is a new thing that's not there in the ground in the amperage sample so we'll that will produce a positive signal as well but we said that with pulses which are short enough on top of population dynamics with this technique we can look at coherent dynamics in the time domain indeed so what happens is that when we have a short palm poles namely shorter than for example the vibrational period of a molecular vibration we can impulsively excite this mode creating a wave packet that can be either in the excited state which is more intuitive but also in the ground state i'm talking about electronic states now and that is due to a sort of raman kind of like process so those weight packets of course will evolve over time they will move around in the ground or excited state electronic potential energy surface and as a consequence of that they will modulate the energy gap between these two electronic states as a function of time and that is seen in the spectra as a sort of oscillation in the time domain this in order to isolate this oscillatory behavior which what we're interested in when we're doing femtosecond clearance spectroscopy is that we take the pump pro the transabsorption data set and we get rid of the underlying slow population decay which is shown here in the bottom as a sort of global fetus solid line feed to the experimental data which are in theo and what we have left is basically those oscillation around like zero amplitudes which are the well the features we're interested in so we said that we have uh both ground and excited state contributions so the problem is now how do we assign that how do you like separate that between ground and excited state so the first thing one can do is think and say okay if i see a beating an oscillation in the time domain on top of a ground state bleach signal that's probably a ground state wave package so a vibrational coherence in the electronic ground state if these beatings are seen on top of stimulated emission or excited state absorption it has to be a vibrant coherence in the exiled state electronic excited state on top of that another thing that can facilitate the assignment is that those oscillations carry a phase which is uh depending on the probe wavelength and they tend to have a sort of destructive interference for a frequency that matches the steady-state absorption spectrum of this molecule for the ground state coherences or the uh all the either match this node this amplitude node caused by destructive interference matches the maximum of the fluorescence emission for the excited state with packets and so this is seen of course in the amplitude is in as a deep and it's it has a jump of the face by pi in terms of like when we're looking at the phase of those oscillations so when we have these things we can look at them in the frequency domain also basically performing a fourier transform over the pump probe delay time to yield a sort of frequent pro frequency result raman spectrum so a raman spectrum for each of the wavelengths contained in the pro bandwidth so this is the technique for we use it to look at those um large zinc buffer enamel rings we looked at those molecules because they're interesting because in a way they resemble some kind of pigment protein complexes that are found in bacteria in bacteria we normally have a number of chlorophylls which are sort of put on a ring shape and here it's porphyrin so it's still tetrapyralse they're bound in a covalent fashion by those sort of diacetylene linkers and what's interesting is that we observe we can tell from the steady state absorption spectrum and from also time result measurement that the exiting structure of this molecule is completely different namely the 10 member nano rings are fully delocalized the 20 sort of transition regime and 30 and 40 despite the ring size increasing the accident does not span more than 20 promo for units as one could tell from the steady state absorption which are the solid line in here which are redshifting as a function of the ring size up to 20 and then the staying constant and that's quite interesting because despite like looking mortgages of the same family actually the electronic excited states are quite different in character and there's no indication also vibronic coupling so any vibration which is evident from these steady state absorption and here as shaded blue and red areas i've reported the pump spectra that we used to study this molecule so we basically change the wavelength of the pump to see if the were any different and we found out that indeed they are so these are the femtosecond clearance spectra here on the left this is what we get when we excite with these blue poles and this is what we get when we excite with these like red poles so we can clearly see that in the time domain and also in the frequency domain basically these two graphs are the pure transform of these ones so here we have the delay between pump and probe and here we have the wave number which is the full transform of this the node of these oscillation moves and when we excite here on the blue side of the steady state absorption spectrum of the molecule we get a node which is more or less here and when we excite on the right side of the molecule we get a node which matches really well the maximum of the fluorescence emission so what we see that pump wavelength tuning allows us to observe better wave packets in the brown states according to the theory explained early on or wave packets residing the excited electronic state of this molecule so a further confirmation of these is given if we take a slice of these sort of probe resolve raman spectra at a frequency that we care about which is this one quite intense 370 with number modes and we can clearly see that the amplitude is a deep which is very close to the maximum of the absorption when we excite on this side and the phase which is in blue jumps by pi and then jumps back while when we excite in resonance with the fluorescence we get the nodes in the amplitude and sorry the deepening the amplitude and the phase jump which are matching quite closely the emission the maximum the emission of this molecule so another interesting thing is that the phase is jumping really abruptly here while here it has a sort of wavelength dependence and these could tell something about the how an harmonic uh the excited state potential energy surface is compared to the ground state for example so what we've done here was basically here what we learned is that exciting with different pump wavelengths we can look at ground or excited state with packets so if we now integrate over all the frequencies in the probe we get basically an impulsive random spectrum of the ground or or the excited state of these molecules so here we have the the color code for 10 20 30 and 40 member ring and the ground and excited state raman spectra so we can see that in the ground state what we have is this mode at 370 for the smallest ring 375 for the smallest ring that shifts to the red as the ring grows and it also narrows down that has to do with the strain which is induced by those ring structure which is way for smaller rings and this mode is a stretching of the zinc nitrogen bonds so the it's centered in the buffering core well here we have this less intense mode which is still a ground state mode of course when we look in here which is a combination not a combination band but it's a complete motion that involves both mechanic and pyrolic carbocation bending and uh in plane bending and stretching on top of that we also get strong solvent contribution we are intolerant here because the ground state of course toluene is not resonant so the signal should be weaker but there's also a lot of it because it's the solvent so we can still see all these contributions that are coming from solvents if we move to the excited state we can see a few interesting things so we can see that the for example these zinc nitrogen raman mode is basically insensitive to the displacement of electron density from the ground to the excited state and that's because it's a pipe by star transition which is weakly affecting the molecular orbital involved in forming the zinc nitrogen bonds uh on the other hand these modes that come from affinic and pyrulic shift to the red quite a lot and it appears indeed as a shoulder here uh so it's shifted by 26 wave numbers more or less it's 430 roughly here and here is like 405 and this is due to the fact that due to the symmetry of the molecule that be like the porphyrin monument that belongs to the h2 point group uh basically the those molecular orbitals are more anti-bonding in the excited state so the frequency shifts to the red and on top of that we also have this signal which is not there at all in the ground state which is a mode that comes from a sort of distortion of the porphyrin ring as well but its raman cross section gets enhanced in excited state due to hyperconjugation with the aerylic substituents on the porphyrin side so the the conclusions are that we were able in this way to observe vibrational occurrences both in the ground and the excited state that were assigned looking at the frequency dependence of these nodes in the oscillations and by moving these information to the frequency domain we were able to obtain uh impulsive resonance raman spectra of the ground of the excited state of this molecule and the surprising somehow conclusion is that here the vibration are quite insensitive to the degree of the axon delocalization because we had substantially identical spectra for molecules that display quite different hexatonic behavior so the main vibrational modes are indeed coming from the let's say the monomeric units which are constituting those large portfolio nano rings and as similar effects has been observed previously in pigment protein structures were still like all the beatings are given by internal modes of the promo for rather than to the overall structure so that's it i want to thank my api steve mitch i did my part of my phd with him as well and i was in imperial for a while and i came back at uea these are the most iconic building at uea in norwich in the uk or these are like student residents are called the cigarettes i want to thank professor harry anderson and michael who actually synthesized those nice molecules in oxford ismail that was my former phd supervisor which is now back in brazil my colleagues palace and dale we work on theory and simulation of ultra fast spectroscopy and dpsrc for funding our lab so thank everyone for having listened to me and i hope it was interesting thank you it was an excellent talk thank you | ICTP Condensed Matter and

ygdfu18IDiI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ygdfu18IDiI | sprouts healthy grocery haul for 1 🌱 grocery staples for easy recipes & casual chatty life update! | hello everyone it's caitlin aka kawaii case today i'm showing you all my healthy sprouts grocery haul for one i wanted to give you all some inspiration for some grocery staples to possibly help diversify your diet and also catch up with me i hope you guys enjoy also the lovely people helping me introduce this video are my sister and her friend oh mikayla just brought it right in for me yes ma'am thank you ma'am you're very very welcome oh they put all in one box uh yeah i think oh nice okay great thank you kind kind delivery service why did they put your own cabbage like that my cabbage oh wow they really just you just put it out there thank you are you guys going you guys kind of chill cool i haven't gotten money for ducks yet true all right thanks lady [Music] hey guys cute mirror so as you can see i have some wonderful groceries my sister and her friend kindly picked it up for me so now i'm going to show you guys everything that i got to give you guys a little update i want to bid up to and yeah let's get into it i'm gonna do my little haul and then i'm going to journal get artiste out here what about you just chilling oh cool alrighty hello so as you can see i have two big boxes these are groceries i just ordered from sprouts i thought i would show you guys what i got i got a bunch of fun healthy things because lately my diet has been pretty trash i've been eating lots of processed foods it's just getting really tiring and i just want to feel good i want my body to feel good for me i really want to prioritize my food and food health whenever i get hungry i just eat whatever yeah i want to be able to eat healthy have more energy during the day that way i can do all the fun things that i do every day at a bet with a better mindset so yeah let me show you guys what i got so first thing i have here is some almond milk almond almond milk yeah i normally don't drink almond milk but i really want to use this to like put into recipes like pancakes and other baked goodies yeah instead of just regular milk so that's why i have this it's still nice and cold thank you sprouts so for vegetables i kind of got like one of everything or like a little bit of isha so i can just see how i like it and if i really want to incorporate that more into my diet so kylian can you close your door kylia can you close your door yeah thank you i'm just filming real quick thank you this kind of geeks thing so i asked on the thing i never ordered groceries online it was kind of it was interesting i think it's nice that way because i had like a whole list that i compiled yeah so i could just go down the list and just check everything off and just search it instead of like navigating through aisles asking people et cetera so anyways they came with my sister and her friend came with the boxes and they just gave me a straight up cabbage no like covering or anything which i mean actually is good you know less plastic use but yeah look at this adorable cabbage i want to make some cabbage soup with this and i've had cabbages before and it's really good i've just never made it for myself yeah i've never like prepared cabbage myself either so this will be really interesting but this is really cute and of course you know bananas nothing crazy just had to get one of these i have never made been in an ice cream and that's something that i wanna try to make with this so that's why i have this i'm gonna put these away this guy will go in the fridge okay and other veggies i got is this cute yellow squash and zucchini i just realized how adorable like fruits and vegetables are i mean i always do this but especially vegetables like i don't know why it's just round and adorable so yeah yellow and green squash don't know if i'll be making zucchini noodles with this one but i do like like i've had these at restaurants since delicious so why not make it myself for myself and maybe my fam if they want to try it okay so i got beets i don't know i don't really want to bother preparing the beets normally so i just got the ones that are like already ready and i can just warm these up and throw them into any dish i don't really eat pizza often but i tried them once and i liked them i just never go on my way to get them and now it's time and i have tofu and i know not a lot of people like tofu but i actually really love tofu so i have that in here as well yeah i just want to try vegan butter and see if that tastes different if it doesn't then i could just start using vegan butter instead of regular butter and then i have these two adorable little baggies of fruit oh baggies these two little cute boxes of fruit i got some blueberries and some raspberries and yeah i don't really get these fruits very often but i thought these would be really cute and tasty i had to have either as a snack or to add on top of my banana nice cream or acai bowls which i can show you guys i got some acai mix as well and then you know spinach baby spinach nothing special about baby spinach spinach is one of the few greens like leafy greens that i really like so i can eat this with salad which i'm still trying to get myself to like more um but i definitely always add spinach to like any regular meals like curries or any stir fries like i will i'm more than willing to add spinach to anything so i know i'll be getting i'll know i'll be using all of this it's kind of random but last thing in this box is mellow white miso this is nice because yeah i can have this whenever it will last me long yeah that's before may 14 2021 we got this for a while but if i ever want some comforting soup i got white miso right here so me so happy oh my gosh there's so many flavors um if i ever see the other place i'll try those but also as you can see you know i dressed up today if you watch my recent videos and a lot of you wearing sweats sweatshirts hoodies any type of comforts lounge outfits since i knew i was going to be filming a nice grocery haul and then eventually do my journaling which doesn't involve my outfit but i knew i was going to do a lot today but yeah i thought i'd do something different because i've done thrift hauls and i've done stationary holes but i have never done a grocery haul and i do think it's really interesting to see what kind of food i can get like types of different food because the only another thing besides like just eating like a lot of processed foods i've also been eating a lot of just like the same things i'm getting really tired of it so yeah these are a lot of new things that i've done a lot of research on i basically went through if you know hitomi mochizuki i love her channel and she's vegan she has a lot of really cool recipes on there so i basically spent all day yesterday going through all her what i eat in a days culminating a master list and then picking out the grocery staples and what things that i can make a lot of kindly enough my mom let me order some goodies stuff for me so i'm not vegan but i do want to incorporate just a wider diversity of foods and just see like how i like these type of recipes and you know of course using eating less meat would be better so having more diversity i don't feel the need to just like oh always eat meat carb veggie meat cart veggies just i need to change it up that is why we're here today um a quick little thing about my outfit i'm very i feel very good dressing up today so um this is the golf save the bees bandana they came in two colors there's blue and there's beigey pinky one um you also got it for me so it's very cute my first time really wearing it and then this was in my thrift flip video it was originally had these arm cuff things and yeah they totally just cut my circulation and then for pants i have these comfy cargos from forever 21 i got a while back along with some oh if you can see it i'm not flexible along with some cute bubbles for socks yeah i'm only feeling myself i think i needed to just get dressed up too because you know sometimes i get a little crazy being in the house all the time and then just wearing the same stuff over and over again but yeah i feel really good dressing in some fun outfits but anyways yeah that is what i've been up to it's been going on oh also great british baking show it is really good it's very entertaining i finished the i finished one season recently i think it was the newest one i didn't realize like that there were ones before it so i literally watched the 10th anniversary but it was really good and then i'm gonna start from the bottom now but yeah that gives me a lot of content to watch while i work on art and other things so that's what i've been up to it's been really nice having another new show to watch it's very creative but anyways let's continue with the haul yay okay chia seeds since i got the acai banks i'm excited to just like sprinkle some chia seeds on there when i make toast when i make anything i can really just throw this in there so chia seeds flax seeds maca powder and cacao nibs this is a lot smaller than i thought it was gonna be oh my gosh i love the cow nibs they're so yummy whenever i go to acai place i always get cacao nibs on top because they're so tasty and i like the texture of it that's kind of like like in random little pieces kind of not really gritty but overall when you eat it with other things it's like to have that like texture i'm excited about these i used to eat sunflower seeds actually i've been eating some good healthy snacks i just been eating smart food white cheddar popcorn if you like that and sometimes i'll eat some ruffles which yeah super processed and everything so pumpkin seeds i heard pumpkins very good for you so i got these as well yeah two seed snacks to change it up when i want to and then i have this little little container of spirulina i've never tried it before i've seen you tell me use it a lot and it has a lot of good benefits you could just easily add this to mixes and oats and smoothies and so that's why i got this because it's just easy to throw in there it could take over it i heard that it's not a taste for everybody but we'll see how i like it i believe these are my lentils i'm pretty sure they're supposed to be red or i guess this is what red lentils look like i got some lentils i really like lentil soup but i've never made it myself and i just like i just like having like comforty foods and this is definitely one of them lentil soup i got some adorable this adorable case of miracle noodles these noodles are made of i believe shirataki noodle shirataki mushrooms yeah it is a shirataki noodle again i'm just trying a bunch of new replacements for the regular stuff to see how it is and it's also healthier some of these are a lot smaller than i thought they were that's the name of the online grocery shopping you don't actually know but it actually makes it really cute i don't small things are adorable to me and then i have some almond butter i absolutely love almond butter i add this on top of my acai bowls when i go to place of course i've never i've never made my own acai bowl which we will do you will do very soon delicious absolutely love it i have thai curry paste which is we went from all this grains and things like that and then the random noodles to curry paste oh no it says it says three peppers of hot so i'm a little concerned except i cannot handle spicy stuff so yeah this will last me a long time i love thai curry a lot so i got this green curry paste i also to pair with this of course to go with it coconut milk i also like coconut i'm not guessing i had coconut shrimp but i love coconut shrimp so that's good for that we have we have an absurd amount of baking powder but no baking soda so i had to get that because i got to make my baked goodies and then this i thought was so much bigger but it's really cute container rolled oats i i've tried oatmeal before i think i just didn't do the measurements right because it was so watery and gross but he told me and a bunch my dad makes it looks really good and i think i just needed to add a bunch of sweet things to it like not a bunch but like a little bit of cinnamon in there some syrup you know so that's why i got oats and i also like making oatmeal cookies so my breads i got some naan and i got some pita i don't know what i'm gonna put in the pita bread yet i like just eating naan by itself with like olive oil but i don't know i'm just gonna experiment and just see what i can make with what i've gotten i like pita bread as it is too so i might just do the same method with this one and then i have some canned things so i got a bunch of beans to try so i've already had black beans so i know these are good i may have tried kidney beans before but we're going to try kidney beans i have panel i don't know how to say this candle lenny beans cannaeli white beans i have white beans i never tried that and then chickpeas and i like chickpeas so and these are the oh so wow this is where i should have been first this is the frozen things so these are hillary's brand veggie burgers i got these two kinds organics world's best version and then grain feast grain free super cauliflower version um i believe i've had this version already and millet sweet potato leafy greens and then this one has obviously cauliflower lentils and peas carrots and garlic so one thing i can't get past is carrots i like can force myself to eat it but it's not the best but it's mixed in with a bunch of other things so that's why i'm like okay i can eat this yeah they both sound really delicious i've had hillary's veggies burgers before and it's really good so i am excited about these add this to my salad cross my fingers i really eat salad or just like my stir fries whatever it is i can throw in my veggie burger in there so lastly the thing i'm most excited about are these samsung acai superfood packs so i'm just going to throw this in with my regular mix of bananas strawberries blueberries so i only got one pack of i like idea of course i like wanted to get like a bunch of packs but i know that i should try it first and if i like it then i can get some more but i absolutely love acai it's so delicious and i love ice cream and acai has a very very similar taste to that so that's why i absolutely love this i already have granola in the pantry and then i got the blueberries as you guys saw so you guys know i got all the decorations gonna throw in my seeds and all that not the maca powder maybe monica powder but yeah that's all the groceries i have so i hope you guys found this interesting i am very excited about my food if you couldn't tell i got to figure out what i want to make for dinner today but that is for another time so thanks mom and thanks sprouts for delivering and thanks to my sister and her friend michaela for getting me everything that i needed should i get my cute thumbnail out since this is the one time i dressed up i should probably do my thumbnail now should i just hold my bananas let's decorate it nicely oh see that wasn't necessary you and dad do that you are so dramatic that's fine you literally wet my bandana hey kylian i approve of my pose you move that towel you you make i had the towels all organized well you can see that's [Music] should act like there's a bug in your bananas it'd be like the time they tried to kill and i sued sprouts

MADDEN 23 PASS RUSHER CAREER #13 | hey what's good y'all man look as y'all can see I'm back on this password and [ __ ] hey look we in the divisional round of the playoffs I mean we gotta play against the cowboy now we don't beat I think we beat the Cowboys both times played them you know saying hopefully Gino Smith balls out but look man we gotta upgrade real quick before we get in this game we got one upgrade speed rushing and two upgrades we're gonna get we get ass Threat all right man I ain't gonna say too much Mo let's go ahead and get into this game provisional round of the playoffs let's see how this [ __ ] go man all right man that normally when we play these [ __ ] CD goes off I'm not looking forward to that guess is that get him good job hey y'all awesome awesome if you didn't watch my last video then we had posted a video yesterday because I didn't upload like a career video so I'm double this is gonna be the first video of the day I'm alone later on too since it's Friday especially because it's Friday you know what I'm saying but look in the description there's a Discord if you want to be in the receiver DB franchise join that Discord or if you just want to know I'm saying just be in the Discord now I mean it's a work in progress I'm just you know I'm trying to learn how to how to how to like make the Discord for real but no I mean you just be in the Discord chilling and [ __ ] yeah if you want to be in that receiver DB franchise your Discord description it's in the description I met oh my God okay 13. come on yeah come on yeah I just don't you gotta get there good defense oh my God thank you all right offense come on okay good y'all got three that's and it's good I'll take it I will take you good text that's a good attack oh my God all right bro come here get it go run run run run run let's [ __ ] go come on bro donate homes with the scooping score come on bro when they don't double me it's over I'm here to play let's go come on y'all come on bro come on let's go all right we got on man I don't know how to feel about this though oh my god wow good defense great great defense bro great freaking defense oh my God I can't [Music] let me punch it out oh I tried I tried to get back there and punch the ball out you don't mess up that oh my god get him bro yo there's no way darnay Holmes is doing his thing this game it's only the first quarter and he already got touchdown and a pick wow what a play by that I don't know what's going on but but that that looks like [ __ ] you know hey I'll take it though we trying to get to the Super Bowl we trying to get to we trying to get to the Super Bowl look at this come on I don't even know how we got us nah bro get down oh my God how did I even get through that line like that we did not come to play look at oh my God this is what happened when you play against the best defense in the league no it's hard it's hot move it's it's hard it's hard cause because the cover three that we running it it's pretty decent it's pretty good against CPU oh my God offense scores again Cowboys y'all boy y'all [ __ ] better do something cause I'm coming so lucky hey dropped it yeah bro yeah bro I don't even I don't know bro I ain't gonna lie I ain't go I ain't gonna lie bro their online is so bad I don't even I don't even know who they have on their line but if they can't guard me though they can't guard me though just run around he's the only [ __ ] that can like match up with me a little bit oh man and they get three too like I don't this is crazy but he makes that he made that throw he made that throw it looked like I [ __ ] them up but the animation didn't even go through nothing I just gotta run around bro you run around okay attack yep just keep on hurrying up what take Crowder with a pick six but I don't know I thought I thought I almost got a rough in the pasture cause I dived at him to try to like do so I guess I force them for a pick six I doubt look I don't know I don't know hey man [Music] I don't it's it's crazy bro cause when you're a pass rusher in this game bro you can really if you know how to get to that quarterback you can influence the game like this like if it's 34-0 cause of me both of the pixie thrown was because I was on his ass I got a strip sack fumble and somebody picked it up and scored that's three touchdowns dude because of me that's crazy [Music] on my way I don't know what to say oh my God [Music] finally halftime that was a that was that was a long first half bro that was a [ __ ] long first half yeah get him get him

do well that fine I'll see you later have a nice nap thank you this is getting ridiculous there hasn't been this much noise in Springfield since the brewery exploded but anytime [Music] I that's the last STW that's Bud Bud Bud all right this time he's going just a little too far I'll show him that when I say I'm going take a nap I'm going to take a nap stop it oh hi you dad have a nice nap I but is this the only time you can find a practice I wasn't practicing I see the trombone was playing all by itself oh no I was playing it but you weren't practicing no sir but stick out your tongue there isn't anything wrong with me dad I was making up a song what for well gosh if William cyan can get $20,000 for a come out of my house $20,000 sure and that's only the beginning for come on in my house that's right stick out your tongue he did dad Tom Lewis told me bud do you realize how much money $20,000 is before or after taxes anytime I I'd have to sell almost a million dollar worth of insurance to make $20,000 maybe you're in the wrong business I'm beginning to think so $20,000 and that's nothing even if it was 10 pay life I'd have to sell $22,000 did you ever hear of Stanley sales no he made over $200,000 on Sid saddle s but he did Dad I never even heard of it nobody did but it was on the other side of yes we Have No Bananas and he made $200,000 he sure did Tom Lewis told me wait a minute who is Tom LS he's a new fellow in town and I met him when he was watching football practice but if you're going to believe everything the boys tell you he is no boy dad he's almost 22 and he just got out of college and he knows all about the music business and he told told you $200,000 he even said he'd help me if I'd write a song so I told him I would and he's coming over here at 4:00 and but you're not going to play that song for him are you well I don't seem to do so good with the music I can think of wonderful words but do you suppose the music of a song is very important well of course it's important well if you don't have a catchy tun nobody will ever hear the words well look dad just a minute though Margaret Margaret jim I've got to clean the dining room rug I know but haven't you finished your nap yet I'm not going to take a nap but we still need a little quiet bud and I are going to write a [Music] song I wonder why it is that only Maxwell House Coffee has that good to the last drop flavor there's a mighty good reason ma'am the fact is our Maxwell House is three times richer in flavor coffees than hundreds of other brands 10 to 12 times richer than some experts you see classify all the coffees grown in this world into just two groups filler coffees which add lots of bulk but little flavor and the much rarer flavor coffees which add real zest and richness to a blend now Maxwell House buys more flavor coffees than anyone else in the whole world and Maxwell House is three times richer In These Fine flavor coffees than hundreds of other brands 10 to 12 times richer than some and it is these superb flavor coffees plus the one and only Maxwell House technique of blending and roasting which explains why Maxwell House alone has that wonderful good to the last drop flavor my family has always loved Maxwell House best then they're in Good Company ma'am for more people buy and enjoy Maxwell House Coffee than any other brand at any price well no wonder it's three times richer three times richer in Choice flavor coffees right you are that's why Maxwell House is the one coffee the it's always good to the last drop it's 4:00 in Springfield and for the Andersons the zero hour is close at hand Tom Lewis the young man who knows all about the music business will arrive at any moment and then well Cole Porter look out the Great American song is finished and a meteoric career for two new songwriters is about to be launched like this father do we have to go through it again don't you want your mother to hear it why what did she ever do to me I think it's beautiful daddy well I don't know about that but it's certainly Stacks up with some of the things I've heard lately we'd better get ready dad mom says she'll be right in good now remember Betty it's the same Temple all the way through but when we get down here excuse me dad but wouldn't it be a good idea if Kathy went outside and watch for Mr Lewis all right Kathy go ahead Betty when we get down here what can I sing if I'm outside you can sing it later go ahead noodle nose she wh when we get down here why does she have to go outside just because Bud meets some dizzy character he isn't a dizzy character he's a very nice guy all bad well he is Kathy will you please do as you're told go outside and warn us if you see Mr Lewis but I don't know what he looks like he's got a yellow convertible he has with a black top father I've got to go upstairs and change my dress there's nothing wrong with the one you've got on look when you get down here but it's awful father I look horrible you look fine when you get down here Kathy will you please go outside and watch but you said go ahead Kathy or we won't let you sing taddy go ahead kitten gee whiz just cuz I'm the littlest one in the family everybody thinks they can push me around wait till I get to be a lady wrestler I'll show you look Betty when you get down here did I hear someone at the front door Jim it's okay Mom Cathy went out Betty isn't it wonderful mother Mr Lewis has a yellow convertible with a black top that's very nice sit down honey we'll be ready in 2 seconds Betty when you get down here you want a big finish I want a uh yes well are we ready all set Dad good now remember Margaret we want an Hest opinion all right dear okay here we go a one a [Music] two [Music] aah that sounded pretty good didn't it Dad now we're still a little rough on the [Music] finish what do you think Margaret it uh didn't sound any rougher than the rest of it well I suppose I'm too much of a perfectionist oh brother what was that I said what did you think of it mother well I U be honest now I I think it's very nice but um but what well it U seems a little familiar honey it does Jim I get the feeling that I've heard it before well naturally we've been practicing it for an hour you should have heard it in the beginning that isn't what I mean there's something by Steven Foster Margaret there are only eight notes in the scale naturally we're going to use the same notes somebody else did there aren't any others Betty play the beginning of beautiful dreamer okay that's enough now uh play ours you see it's nothing like it and besides you haven't even heard Bud's lyrics I'm sorry Jim but well maybe I'm wrong well that's the trouble with people it's so easy to say you don't like something or it sounds like something else Jim I didn't did they tell George gersin his song sounded like something else did they discourage Jerome Kern they did not but Jim how about Irving Berlin I'm always Chasing Rainbows was lifted right out of Chan's fantasy impromptu and he gets paid Jim I didn't say and how about yes we Have No Bananas that sounds like a dozen songs yeah and how about Sid saddle sad who that was on the other side of what $200,000 because it was on the other side of yes we Have No Bananas and you want to discourage me I don't dear I merely said I suppose you want me to spend the rest of my life in the insurance business you've always liked the insurance business I can work 48 hours a day for 90 years and I won't make that kind of money I know dear but but and I knock this song out in less than an hour why we can write a dozen like it in one day and then take the rest of the year off Jim one day a year that's the kind of a job I've been looking for all my life it's a good thing I thought of it huh dad Jim before you burn the insurance business behind you why don't you ask Mr Lewis he's here he just drove up my hair it's a mess it looks fine butd don't stand there holding your trombone why not now he's getting out put it down on the piano make it look casual how can you make a trombone look casual put it down Jim doesn't he know you're going to play your song of course horse but we don't want to hit him over the head with it we're going to lead up to it gradually if you'd only told me about the convertible we'll steer the conversation around to a general discussion of music and then very casually he's here bud get out there and meet him okay and be casual okay Jim just a second honey Betty um you sit over here my lipstick I'll bet I haven't got a drop on now that's it now I'll sort of be standing over here why don't you hold a polo mallet that would make a nice effect Margaret please hi you Mr Louis hello bud I'm Kathy hello Kathy you're a big girl aren't you I can sing too father would you like to hear don't stand out there in the hall Bud bring Mr Louis in okay father she's going to ruin everything no she won't well Mr Lewis come right in this is a very great pleasure thank you sir this is Tom Lewis dad Bud's told us all about you oh well and this is my mother how do you do well hello Mrs Anders Bud didn't tell me he had such an attractive family Mr Lewis would you like to hear we understand you're quite new in Springfield Mr Lewis yes I've only been here a few days well it might seem a little strange at first but you'll get used to it Springfields a pretty fine little town isn't it honey we like it I certainly like what I've seen of [Applause] it how it out will you petty Bud well stop pulling my coat father oh I'm sorry Mr Mr Lewis this is our older daughter Betty how do you do I'm doing much better now when are we going to sing the song Kathy holy cow dad Mr Lewis I well isn't that what he's here for Kathleen be quiet what isn't he Kathy one more word and you go to bed GE whz Mr Lewis I I don't know what to say I don't either you see but as long as Kathy dumped our cards on the table so to speak we might as well do it Mr Anderson I'd like to tell you why don't you sit right there with Mrs Anderson and we'll go to work but are we going to do it now yes we're going to do it now oh good it won't last very long Mr Lewis but they don't under holy catfish we'll be ready to go in just about 2 seconds I'm ready to go now uh stand over here Kathy yes daddy we figured that in view of the Modern Trend we ought to point the lyrics oh yeah uh are we all set you bet Dad all right one two father I'm sorry the Reed must have come loose or something give it a few little uh there that's better now from the beginning

you clinging Vine I've got no use for love oh hear me sing it I've Got No Use For Love he that was fine it really was it was we only practiced it for 2 hours too well it's still a little rough but um what do you think well how much do you think we can sell it for but that isn't the right approach if Mr Lewis Mr Anderson I'm going to put my cards on the table too you're what do you mean well uh look I'm a stranger in Springfield and I figured if I could make a few contacts father just a minute Betty go ahead Mr Lewis well I was talking to Bud and he seemed to be interested in music and he was such a nice kid and well the whole thing was a gimmick a gimmick that's right I I wanted to meet a family and maybe get some leads but gosh you've been so nice about the whole thing I feel like a heel and I didn't know he was really going to write a song Wait a minute you mean you don't know anything about the music business gosh no I sell insurance oh [Music] no [Music] if you count on the flavor of Rich downright good coffee to help brighten your day it will pay you to remember one important fact Maxwell House is three times richer in flavor coffees than hundreds of other brand flavor coffees you know are the extra Choice premium varieties the ones that give real full-bodied richness to a blend and Maxwell House is three times richer in these fine flavor coffees than hundreds of other brands what's more these superb flavor coffees are carefully Blended and roasted with traditional skills that belong to Maxwell House alone so it's no wonder only Maxwell House has that good to the last drop flavor for Rich truly satisfying coffee then coffee you enjoy cup after cup take home a pound of our Maxwell House it's the one coffee that's always good to the last [Music] drop a dozen breakfast times have gone by in the white frame house on Maple Street and the Andersons are gathered in the breakfast nook for participation in their favorite meal but is out getting the mail Jim is still in the insurance business and the ill-fated musical interlude is almost a thing of the past almost we said but not entirely like this Dad I got an answer dad just a minute bud you don't have to shout but they wrote to me who did what's he talking about see I got a letter Bud will you please calm down what's so wonderful about a letter I suppose you get letters from music Publishers huh music

received the song you so kindly sent us it's down near the bottom dad oh uh unfortunately we find the lyrics too radical and daring Jim they're joking honey let me finish please we are however definitely interested in the music I don't believe it we will keep your score on file and in the event that we decide to use it we'll send the check directly to Steven Foster [Music] more coffee dear

MefRdj5vR6Y | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MefRdj5vR6Y | Renata Borba: The Propolis Envelope and Honeybee Health | thank you very much um like an mentioned this is kind of a new topic to everybody and often I will go to a give a talk and people think I'm talking about human health because propolis is being used a lot for humans uh and it's been studied for many many years for human health but nobody has studied um or we just started to uh understand how it benefits the bee health so it's not that I don't care about human health but my my work is uh on BE Health so I I find very fascinating how the honeybee the social structure how how that works there are they they live in this clustered Society with highly related individuals and it works and they're mostly workers females and it works I have two sisters we fight a lot and I just don't understand if it was 40 50 thousands of us how that would work and it's just amazing it blows my mind um they all they what what they do and how they do the behaviors that they perform to make it work it's really fascinating it's amazing it blows my mind and I think everybody's mind there often characterized as uh super organisms and why is that well because bees they cannot leave on their own uh they they need they need each other to survive and we we we call it uh the a group of individuals living a nest with thousands of relatives with the ability to function as one organism and take decisions at the colony level and these decisions that they make at the colony level end ends up influencing their individual Behavior and the when I talk about the decisions that they take at the colony level is just something that the hive needs or the hive wants at that particular time so for example if they need to swarm uh they make that decision at the colony level where to go so Scout bees go out and they will look for new Nas sites that they they can swarm and they will go back to the Colony and start recruiting other workers to that new NASA side that they found was the best but all the Scout bees would do the same they all try to recruit workers to their nest site but they decide where to go as a colony level and they'll move to the Nite that they decide to move to so that that that the kind of decision that they make uh at the colony level that influence individuals behavior and their uh immune defense their natural defense mechanism function the same way they have individual level uh natural defense mechanism and they have social immunity and sometimes the behaviors that they perform at the colony level that is called the social immunity influence the individual immunity so at the individual level they have it's quite similar to humans for example they have the cellular immunity and they have humoral immunity so at the cellular immunity they have the encapsulation of pathogens uh by blood cell molecules just like as humans and at the humor uh the humoral level the humans for example they synthesize antibodies honeybees insects do not synthesize antibodies they have a much simpler uh humoral immunity they synthesize into microbial peptides and how the how do they synthesize the anal microbial peptides is it's quite simple I mean if you think of the DNA as a cooking book of our organism that has all the recipes to synthesize the proteins that we need let's say for example the bee is under a pathogen infection and needs to synthesize an antimicrobial peptide to fight that infection it will take the recipe just to synthesize the protein from the DNA the DNA will send that out from the nucleus to the ribosome which is the machine that translate that message translate that recipe and synthesize the protein so every time for every single antimicrobial peptide the need the bee needs to synthesize it will send that that message that recipe to the ribosome and will produce a protein and that recipe that message is called the messenger RNA so that's how I I measure immune system activity I can measure how many copies of that messenger RNA for that an to microbial peptide was present at the given moment and I can tell how activated or not was their immune system and I do that uh and I'll show uh the graphs later showing the immune system activity uh in bar using bar graphs like that so you can see that uh let see this population here for example in red their immune system was less activated than the population in Gray because it was lower it has less copies of that messenger and a and sometimes the graph will be flipped but every time when the bar is low it means was less activated so the immune system was quieter compared to the other population that was more activated and I just uh included the trend bars uh just sometimes it's easier to look at the trend bar so you can discriminate which one was higher which one was lower uh so we just talked about the individual immunity they have the cellular and the humoral immunity that's the ending individual level but at the colony level they perform behaviors that benefit the colon that protects the colony benefit the colon from getting an infection and ends up benefiting their individual immunity as well and an example is the hygienic behavior I'm sure most of you have heard of the hygienic Behavior it's when a b detects uh a larv that is infected and removes the larv before that disease become infectious and and and get the hive infected with that bacterial disease for example grooming is another Behavior that's part of their social immunity they can groom off verites from an es mate and another examle we'll be talking about today is the collection of plant resins and why plant resins is part of the social immunity because plant resins uh they have antimicrobial compounds they're actually part of the plant defense mechanism plants synthesize resins as part of their defense defense mechanism against pathogens and herbivore attack and it works really well for plants and for some insects is work really well too some in other insects apart from bees they collect resins and they use that for their own benefit because they have it has into microbial compounds and bees they do that too they take resins and they they use that from their own benefit they collect resins using the mes they will scrape half the the the plant using Mandos and they'll move to their hind leg hind legs and they'll transport back to The Hive on their hind legs just like they transport pollen and in fact it looks quite similar to pollen uh it's just it's is shinier than pollen and the the ball is not as regular the ball of the pollen ball is more a shape of a ball and the resin is more irregular shape um and when they come back to the hive uh the resin load is so sticky they cannot unload themselves they usually need the help of another bee another housemate bee and the other be will use their mend bows to take the resin load from the hind legs and go immediately deposit that resin and at that time we call it propolis uh but so resin and propolis are basically the same thing the difference is that sometimes the beat will add wax to the resin just to make it easier uh to work with resins very sticky so they add wax and by adding wax and because they use their menes to um manage into work the propolis sometimes there'll be some glandular secretions uh but we don't know whether they they want to add or it just happens uh but they they deposit all over the colony and here you can see it's in a tree cavity so this was a colony that was nasy in a tree cavity and they usually in a tree cavity they would deposit propolis on the entire inner surface where the colony is nesting so you can see above this red line The Colony wasn't nesting there you don't see frames you don't see Combs I'm sorry not frames but you can see a difference in the color you can see there is lighter uh Brown and where the colony is n is this dark brown this dark brown is the propis deposit propolis layer and they deposit on the entire inner surface uh surrounding that nest and that's what we call the propolis envelope and if they do this in the in a natural habitat in a tree cavity you may ask what if they don't do that in a commercial Hive is that a good is that an important component of their social structure that they don't have in the commercial Hive and in the hive we don't see it so we see uh maybe when the Box uh the two walls touch or where where the frames sit they put in between the frames but they don't make that envelope that we saw they don't make that propolis envelope surrounding the colony so Mike Simon he's a former PhD student of my advisor maros BC he has graduated already but for his PhD that's what he studied he was interested uh on that question is it an important component of their of of their of their social structure of the nest architecture structure does it influence their individual immunity because it has antimicrobial compounds and he collected propolis and he made a propolis tincture so you can make using alcohol you can make a propolis tenture and he painted the inside of colonies with that propolis tenture and left the bees in that Hive for seven days so that's how long the experiment took because the goal was only to see the effect on their immune system not a long-term goal so he left the bees for seven days and he noticed that col bees in colonies that had that propolis paint had a quieter immune system so their immune system was not as activated as the bees in colonies that do not have that propolis Rich environment that propolis paint and in fact all researchers have found similar results good that that car ation of propolis and in a health Hive a healthy Hive this is a research done with Africanized bees so they're not the same as the Italians the European genetic lines we have here in us but he found that cins had had a lot of propolis also had um a lot of brood the the workers they lived longer they had more honey uh they were more hygienic and they also had more po Holland but we just have to those are Africanized bees Africanized bees they collect a lot of propolis naturally um but doesn't mean that we can't see the same effects on our bees if we stimulate them also to collect more props and that's that was our goal with our research was to stimulate them uh to collect more propolis so to have that propolis envelope to deposit a natur propolis envelope instead of painting to let them construct that propolis envelope that they do in the wild and when they Nast in tree cavities and we looked at the effects of that presence of a propolis envelope in the individual level and at the colony level we looked at the immune system activity of uh nurse agbs we looked at virus level at the at each individual and protein level at each individual at the colony level we look at Colony survivorship uh pathogen parasite load and Colony strength by looking at uh the amount of brood in the colony and I'll be showing I will not be showing just individual level and Colony level results I'll be showing them kind of mix because they they can they connect uh so virus level with pathogen and parasite low for example they're kind of connect together and protein level and Colony strength and I will explain how these two go together and so how do we um stimulated them to collect to to create that propolis envelope we use propolis straps um we think the reason why they construct that propolis envelope in a tree cavity is because the rough surface we think that rough surface triggers them to to deposit propolis and create that uh so we we we made the smooth surface of the the the commercial hives rck by adding propolis straps and these are just commercially available propolis straps and we cut it to the the correct width and length of the box and we stapled to all four walls I'm just showing two of them but we stapled to all four to make that envelope into every box that the colony had and they were usually three deep uh boxes so they all three deep boxes had that propolis um traps and the goal was to create this what they have in the natural habitat and that was what we got so it did it did work so the the these Brown lines you see here that is propolis the propolis that they deposited in every single gap of the propolis trap so they did construct the propolis envelope so we had the propolis envelope colonies and we also had control colonies the control colonies are colonies that we did not add any propolis straps so they the positive propolis where they could where they they do it um normally uh when they don't have the traps so as you can see there's between frames there's propolis there maybe you cannot see very well but there's propolis here and there's propolis also on the box so when you put another one on top they try to to to deposit propolis in between and that's what the control colon did so they had some propolis just not as much as the ones that had the traps and we repeated this for two years was a full we did like a full School season uh uh experiment for two years we we took assessment so all the individual and Colony level assessments that were talking about early we took in July uh summer in September and in the following May 2013 and we repeat it again in 2013 with brand new colonies so it was a repetition and we did not do uh took Assessments in July so was do September and the the following May of course we do not open our colonies in the winter uh in Minnesota so it was just September and May so first I'll show the results for individual immunity and we took at the humoral level again and that's how will be showing so whenever the bar is slow it means it was less activated has less the immune system was quieter so this was for July the propolis envelope group is the ones uh with the red and for July of the six we we were looking at six immune genes uh and all of the sex immune genes two of them was less expressed in the the in bees there were in a propolis envelope colonies so in July for at least these two immune genes it it seemed like the immune system was quieter so when they were in a propolis envelope environment by September all six were been less expressed in bees there were in a propolis envelope colonies compared to bees that were in the control colonies this was was quite interesting this was September 2012 and I'll jump to the next year now we'll show you may later but the next the following uh replicate year September 2013 we saw that uh expression only lower into immune genes so the same that was in July of September 2012 but of six two again were being less expressed in bees from propas envelope colonies then we have the winter and what happens in the winter they do not collect propolis they don't collect anything they just stay in the hive and they can't collect resin so all the resin that was in September of course stays there but they can't collect any more resin and we find quite uh different results in May of the the first experimental year we found that instead of less expressed three of the sex immune genes were been more expressed in bees that were in propolis envelope colonies and uh to be H we we don't have an answer for why would they be highly expressed the following year they were all the same there was no difference um then you ask well what's what happens in the fall so between the fall and and may why do we see this different results in may we are not sure but we we think that it could be that the propolis loses activity so propolis uh it has antimicrobial compounds and some of the antimicrobial comp compounds are volatile so they can volatilize and if they can collect fresh stuff maybe the propolis will lose his activity over the time so from September to May and we test that we collected propolis from colonies in October and we collected again the following May from the same colonies we collected the propolis again to see if there was our hypothesis was true if it the propolis loses his activity maybe that's why our results in May are so uh different and he does he loses activity so for example I have a line and that means an x amount of of bacteria and it you need more propis collected in May to kill the same amount of bacteria then you need propolis collecting in October to kill the same amount so if you need more propolis from May to kill the same amount it means you has less inom microbial compounds in that uh propolis and that's why you need more of it to kill the same amount of bacteria so the propas the propas from October had more antimicrobial compounds and we concluded that yes the propolis loses its biological activity ity with time so it losted biological activity over the winter so they need fresh stuff coming in to get that effect on their immune system on their uh immunity but they don't collect over the winter and their immune system was maybe similar for one year and different uh the other year in May but they will soon start to collect more uh and in July would we would probably see the same effect of a quieter immune system when they had freshh propolis in the hive so with that we concluded that the propolis envelope uh colonies they synthesize less immune genes so they have a quieter immune Gene a quieter immune system compared to colonies that do not have a propolis envelope and we we think that the propolis has a direct impact have a direct impact effect on their individual immunity and why why should why is that good why is that good that their immune system is quieter it's good because they spent less energy on immune function if their immune system is not as activated their physiological there's a high physiological cost that is associated with with the immune with an immune response and if you think of us for example when we are sick and we are synthesizing antibodies we feel kind of weak uh we feel weak because our body needs that energy to to to start an immune response okay to start an immune respones to to protect our body to fight that infection and it's the same with bees when they're when they need to find an infection and they need to synthesize into microbial compounds that requires energy and if they don't have to have an active very act highly active immune system they can use that energy and allocate to perform all their behaviors all their necessary behaviors in the hive they can use that energy to forge or they can use that energy to rear the more brood and have more brood in the colony the like I mentioned before propolis uh it's been studied a lot for human health and it's a tradition in In some cultures to use uh propolis as a natural remedy but not for uh for honeybee health and and if you look at all the research being done on the study of propolis in human health they say that the prop has an effect on the cellular immunity of humans and it increases the cellular immunity I did not measure cellular immunity on my research I only measure humor immunity but if we think that if it if it's the same let's say if it's the same and the propolis has the same effect on bees that has in humans and it also increases their cellular immunity it makes sense that it would decrease would would have the result that we saw that it decreases the humor immunity because it decreases the need to synthesizes antimicrobial peptides if the cellar immunity is more activated you will probably take care of it and they will need less from the humoral immunity so it would decrease the humoral immunity activity that's what we think that's our hypothesis if it has the same effect on bees that it has in humans so we think that uh so be don't have just their individual immunity they don't rely only on their individual immunity they have this these layers of defense mechanism they have the colony level immunity behaviors that they perform that protect the colony protect themselves and they also have what we call now this architecture this Nest Arch architecture component that is the propolis envelope and we think is an important component of the social rest structure of the nas architecture and that benefits The Colony level immunity and individual immunity we looked at pathogens and we looked at viruses we did not notice any uh difference uh in and virus level but I have to say they were all very low and we started this experiment with packages we started with packages with brand new equipment with uh new frames and fation and usually when you start your hives with packages and in brand new equipment you have less pathogens and we have you have less viruses so maybe our design our experimental design was not set to see a difference or maybe there is no difference it does not affect virus and we we cannot tell tell this right now but we did see a slight lower uh uh on black queen cell virus in 2014 I we saw a slight lower level in bees from propolis envelope colonies but it was a slight lower and not significantly different uh we did not see difference in noima and veroa levels uh between colins with or without a propolis envelope and again it could be uh because of our experimental design we started with packages and brand new equipment and we took Colony level measurements we measured survivorship and Colony strength uh by looking that brood area so the amount of brood the colony had for survival ship we measure from the start to the end of the experiment so not just Winter survival the first year with we saw that colonist that did not have a propolis envelope so the control colonist died more than the colon compared to colon of the propolis envelope uh and they di the colon that did not have the propolis envelope that died more in the summer as you can see right here they died more in the summer and we don't know exactly why uh their pathogen load was like I just showed was similar uh in virus as well they just the they died more in the summer compared to the colonies that had the propolis envelope and we had a more success at the end uh more colonies at the end of the experiment when they had that propolis envelope but it was similar on the second year one thing that was very interesting uh the colonies that had a propas envelope had more brood uh compared to the con that did not have in May so the following uh the following year they had more brood that was very interesting because and it's uh good I think because in May it's when the colony really needs a strong uh strong Hive if they start strong they will finish strong and they'll probably have a better chance to survive the winter so it was very nice to see that in may they had more brood compared to the other colonies this was significant on the first year not statistically significant on the second year but we did see the same Trend and they had more protein so bees in colins uh that had the propolis envelope they had more protein in May compared to colins that did not have the propolis envelope we measure protein uh by measuring the amount of vitalen and that's one of the most um the vitalen it's most of the protein that honeybees has you can measure using vitalising and um they say uh it's it's started to be a marker of colony health and nutrition status and it's also thought that if the col if the bees have more protein they rear more brood and that uh worked really well correlated really well with our results they had more brood and the bees had more protein so just to summarize uh our results we think uh so the incorporation of resin from the environment into the nest architecture in the form of a propolis envelope can benefit honeybees at the colony and individual level the presence of the proplas envelope directly affect honeybee Health uh bees from proplas envelope colonies had a quieter immune system in the summer and fall the presence of the propolis envelope increased uh colony survivorship in one year although it did not increase in the second year but improved uh Colony strength they had more brood in May of one year and we did see the same trend on the next year but it did not affect level of natural curing pathogens we managed these colonies just like maybe you would manage yours we we treated we treated for veroa we did not treat for NOA because we did not uh we have a baseline a level that we treat after they reached that level and they never did so we did not treat for NOA but we treated for veroa in the fall we feed them we feed them with uh protein and we fed them with sugar syrup as well we had uh honey supers so we just we managed them just like a commercial beekeeper maybe would manage um and we we did not see any difference in this natural uh pathogens but it was interesting to see the effect on the immune system Colony strength and survivorship of at least one year and with that I like to thank [Applause] you and do we have time we have time for a questions if you have questions um yeah so he he said so plants have uh different plants will synthesize different resins uh they will it will be a difference in the antimicrobial compounds and it could be a difference on the amount of antimicrobial compounds that each plant of the resin that each plant synthesize and that depends on the species and he asked if there is a difference on what plant they forge on am I is that correct is that a difference what resin they choose um it is that's a very interesting question and it's one experiment that we did and I'll I'll be presenting some of the results tomorrow we did look if there was um we looked if bees when they're challenged if they select for different resin if they can if they will choose the type of resin that they want and if they do we looked whether that resin that they it seems like they choose is more active than the others um we don't know the exactly answer yet but it seems like they can select um whether they would do that in a that will also depend on what type of plants they have around sometimes they don't have much of a choice uh in we that's very new but it possibly maybe they they can select so maybe it matters but all prob was um even the ones that were less active the ones that we collected all the resins in this other project that we collected even the ones that was less active they were still very good um there was a significant difference between resins from different plants but they were still very active they had a good biological activity so if they're just collecting for General uh Health uh not for specific pathogens you may not matter um but I I don't know yes did you take a look at how much rosing or propis was being brought into the hives and comparing those that you made that propis envelope with compared to the control was there a difference between what was collected so he asked if there if I measured the amount of res of propolis in the propolis envelope treatment compared to the other the other ones I do not measure the amount um we thought about it about maybe weighing the colonies at the end and scraping and and scraping the other ones and weighing to make a a a quantitative uh uh comparison we did not do that uh because like I said they add wax to the propolis and we we thought we could we would not be making a true comparison because maybe some colonies are adding more wax or not so we would be maybe under or overestimating the amount also some resins are more active than the others so we would be uh hiding that properly as well by comparing so we did not do that we did not compare but they were uh visually more um compared to the other colonies yes usually uh I'm not I don't really really know but usually for human consumption they uh make tincture all right away so if you make the tincture and it's in in Al an alcohol and you keep it in a in a vial that it's dark so away from don't get the sunlight usually you keep their properties for a long long time because it's in the alcohol already but so for human comp for human consumption is usually that way they don't use the the ra propolis but if you're finding raal propolis I don't know exactly how long it would keep uh at least what we found from October to May is that it lost a lot of its activity um so I would say maybe five six months if it's ra propolis kept uh just in know room U could be but I'm I'm not an expert on that area yes so he ask if there is a temperature effect on the the volatil when the the compounds were volatilize um it could be uh because high temperatures would just uh increase uh compound the the compounds to volatilize we never measure that um if it increases or not so I cannot answer exactly um what what how how how hot it needs to be or how cold uh but when we test for example for volatiles in the lab and we usually do it in a freezer uh it's really really low uh we do it in like a minus 20 freezer minus 20 Celsius and volatilizing the the compounds volatilize is really really really slow and sometimes we have to leave it for seven days to get some results um so I I know at least that if you do it in a minus 20 Celsius temperature it's really slow but I don't know in the summer for example how how much the heat would influence but usually in the colony inside they'll keep the temperature they regulate the temperature to keep uh stable so inside of the colony usually there's not too much up and down down um in the wintry wood but yes exper um I'm interesting on that I'm interested on that um I'm finishing my PhD uh in a few months so probably not this year it will depend on my next uh job if I have the um ability to do if they let me do that on a side or if they'll be interested to to study that I'm interested on a long-term uh effect and and even more interested or as interested to study that in Old equipment uh studied that with not brand new equipment but old old frames so five years old maybe 10 six whatever some something really old and and study the effects on Old equipment see how that works well thank you very [Applause] much | Green Toe Gardens | UCs5gTkKkTHmzuTadaSxU4Zg | 2016-09-27 | Creative

N1ssAs5jWyg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N1ssAs5jWyg | String Handling | [Music] okay there isn't really that much to string handling in Python so if we just set up a variable called my string I'm not going to bother using subroutines from this just now my string so we have available there and we have set it up now they can be indexed like an array a string is literally and an array of characters a string of characters so if I tell it to print my string and if I use the square brackets to indicate any if I print off character - I just quickly run that one you'll see that I get the letter e because index is from position 0 so I just woke up my string here position 0 would be eye position 1 is a blank in position - absolutely you got to remember the spaces are are stored now if I want to print off a substring so I just computed some comments here except I tape correctly if I tell it to print and I print my string this time using the script records I put a start index and an end index so if I tell it to print from current element 0 up to element 3 and if I save that and run that good you'll see that I get I and then E because what I'm getting is effectively character 0 character 1 and character - so I'm getting those characters there now it's stopping before it gets to elements at character 3 all right it's basically which is the aim so it stops before it gets it just like when it does a loop if you tell it to loop from 0 to 5 it actually does 0 1 2 3 & 4 which is 5 iterations through the loop so we're just going to do a few more just to kind of give some examples here so I tell it to print I should really just paste this code just now copy not going down and I tell it to print from 2 to 4 I will get um because I'm gonna get character to which is a I'm gonna get count it and it stops before it reaches character for which is the space you'll see there's no space there at all now if I'm dealing with the right hand side so printing from the coming from the left at the right sorry what I can do is I can tell it to print from character seven which is element seven is the S and if I tell it to print to the end which is the length of a string called my string now if I run that I should get the word string no another way of doing that okay is this is the same as I actually can just leave that argument blank and just put in here now if I run that you'll see that I get exactly the same I get string string so if you leave that if you're going from start to the end if you leave that argument blank it will just go straight to the end the same kind of works if I do it from the start so like everyone we did zero to three what I can actually do i could' nothing there and put in three if I run that code it'll pick it up from the start and you'll see I space here so if I wanted to get I on I would just change that to four if I click there on that you see I get I am so again that's basically picking up from the start as opposed to the end now some languages will have a write function where I could say grab the the right hands through characters and a way to visualize that I'm just going to put a quick image on the screen here and it was sure that we can use a negative indexing session system so if I tell it to print okay so that my coordinator long if I actually tell it to print the characters - for what is going to do is a very right hand side has got an element of an index of minus 1 so minus 1 would be the G - - would be in minus 3 would be the I and minus 4 would be our so if I tell it to run that code you see I get the letter R now I can do things like for example I can tell it to print like I've did before if I tell it to print from character 6 so that should be from the S and string up until the end it'll grab hopefully that whole word string so I can use the negative n indexing and if I tell it to print - for just - can I can actually basically grab oops sorry I can actually do minus 4 and you'll see I get the word ring now I can also use step argument so if I just make a new string just now and call it original just so I don't get myself confused I can actually tell it just like in a loop I can tell it to print the string called original though this works for loops also in loops you're used to doing and if I just quickly put a lip on the screen here if I put a loop there and I tell it to it's 5 that's actually the same as going from 0 to 5 and it's actually saying going from 0 to 5 in steps of 1 no I actually could do it so if itís just quickly show you that as example I can tell it to print X now I quickly just run that code to show you okay so I get 0 1 2 3 4 if I change that to and run it you see I actually it's 0 then 2 & 4 it goes off in steps - no likewise I can change my numbers about here and tell it to go from 5 to 0 in steps of minus 1 now if I tell it to print off not you see that you go 5 4 3 2 1 naked modify that and just kind of do this all day and you see that so I can use that same technique to only print off every second character for example so I can tell it to print the string called original and I can go from 3 in steps of 2 so they should start at 0 don't you need a little bit there just for signing I forgot to close my bracket and I tell it to run you'll see what my last line is I and then it because I'm getting that character there that character there so I'm getting character zero and then character too also the next iteration would be character for what I've told her to stop before three now I can also refer strings now there are string functions that will do this okay so if I tell it to print off I'm just going to change this to this string it's my original just got a bit more current just to play with and I'll take that line away this now I can tell it to do print original copy that chord this note now if I tell it to print from 11 sorry 11 to 5 minus 1 you see I've gone from the end cut it okay to count it to 5 in steps of minus 1 so I have wanted to get the word so because I'm starting at position 11 so it shoot out to string backwards but I've actually got a TR ing space because remember I'm starting at position 11 which is 0 that's 1 that's 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 I'm actually starting at a space so to get the word string I would actually need to print off not I'll live in to 5 but 10 to 4 because it starts at position 10 and I wanted to stop before it gets to position 4 co CF actually got string the first just some more examples that I can actually print off the entire string and reverse I could use a loop to go through a character ooh theory and print off each character time or maybe do that a second I can also tell it to print off the entire string though it was I'm not start position I'm not putting any into position I'm just telling doing steps of -1 you'll see it I actually get this space string space is my original and that's just in complete complete reverse I mean I could actually use a loop that says 4x and range and I can tell it to go from the length of the string to position 0 in steps of minus 1 I can tell it to print the original string at position X I forgot my call in there if I run that ok all right I need to stop it before it gets to the end because it's obviously the length of the string is too big so it needs to be the length of the string minus 1 ok so I could do it that way and you'll see that I've got the string about I could just concatenate it together it's gonna clear Maya so that is one way to do it I'm just going to delete that one enough once important things about strength is even though you can print off so for example print off my string - if I tell it that my string and I want to change character - and I want to change that to the later Y right don't know why I would want to but you see I actually get an error okay strings are immutable you can't actually change them you could do a workaround by adding all together or you could actually build the string up one character at a time but it's just concatenation there is nothing new and the only new predefined function I'm gonna show you is we there are predefined functions that convert between ASCII characters and vice-versa and in Python they are the odd function so if I tell it to print the ordinal of a ok now it's just mr. bracket now another one okay it should find the actual ASCII value for me which if I remember Lorca's a should be 97 but likewise I can actually do the reverse of that I can give it an ASCII code so if I tell to print and I used to see a char function okay and 65 the ASCII value for 65 should be an uppercase e so that's another way to do it the only other function that may be of some use is when you're wanting to find where spaces so for example if I've got a cruel name and I'm gonna pick my name eyes mister hey if I want to find that we have that spaces and split that up into two two lines there is a few ways to do it you can use split command so for example I can tell it to a severance or names is I can tell to school it the variable called thrill name and I could tell it to split it not on the comma like we've done before but print off that if I tell to cut off names I should get my two separate names it's all right name split is not defined - sorry - seconds it's not the way we used to split command it is names is full name dot split and then we'll tell it to split one space sorry completely forgot that one so you'll see that I've got the two separate names there or what I could do is I could find the where the space is and extract strings before it so we're going to look at a quick way to do that and this may be have be useful with your need to split things up in particular in particular ways what I could do is rather than using the split command what I could see is I could find the position so I could have a variable called space positions and I could say that that is the variable full name and I need find the index which is a position of whatever the space is so if I tell to find where the spaces and what I could say is that first name it's going to be available and they're going to use string Hanlon here and I can see it's from zero and up until wherever my space position was flown to be and I'll do a quick break point or not just just a check and my surname would be from my space position up until the end but what we need to remember is that we find where the space is so a large needed space position plus one now if I put a quick break point there and just debug that we should see that my full name is mr. hey and if I just step into my code a little bit you see my first name is mr. and my surname I should have put an extra line there would behave no sorry yeah I know sorry my surname is going to be the full name so I just quickly revoke our program again so my first name is mr. and because I'm not actually got anything on the last I'll just tell it to print off so Clint now let's do a first name well we're quite sure the first name is working but we'll just do it that way no if I just copy and paste that line so name is whatever my surname is and hopefully that chewed your sub strings to break that up into two now you'll see that I've actually grabbed the space there okay so I means I've got a collet talk too much so I'll just run a lot way okay yeah I think there's two spaces there no sorry it was just I have accident i sorry I forgot I use concatenation there so I was actually completely like the first time and it was plus one and that pretty much cover a string handling in pison now we can use the old function sorry the character function to generate for example random way or if you just need a copy of the ASCII table and if we quickly just go up one of those I could tell it to for example I could use a mass function so input random and I could tell it to print off a random layer now it could make a big array but that would be a tad long-winded particularly I'm going to put 52 records in it so for example all the work is way or start at ASCII code 97 and all gold all the way up 222 so I could - tell it to print a random layer so I'm actually gonna grab the I'm gonna tell it to see it random later random ASCII code sorry random ASCII and I'm going to say that is a random in and the lost value would be 97 because that's lowercase e and work is there there's 122 and if I tell it to print off the character function I put in this random value I'm just gonna comment all these lanes I just sort of don't oh yeah quick comment those out just so it doesn't run if I could run string handling okay oh sorry like I forgot its I'll gesture from input line right and you'll see that I actually get I'll run them left if I run that again I should get it differently all the time so they don't get in water kissing you can do the same with numbers letters and you can do that - for example construct passwords and other random information not pretty much is everything you may need to do in string handling now this is sub strings and that looks at the predefined functions Ord and CHR | Mark Hay | UCJNWTP3JLtLTMCun_qkI2wQ | 2018-10-11 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 2,758 | 12,973 |
SgZXkOMP3i0 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgZXkOMP3i0 | Family Reactions, Baby Name & Gender| Pregnancy Tag | THEMODESTNATURAL | I am welcome to my channel I found a couple of interesting questions on line which had done that I told the pregnancy duct so I thought it should be interesting for me to do something like that so I hope you guys a lighting this video let's get started so the first question is how far along are you I mean the fact I messed up and I will be having our periods the second question is how did your family react to the news well my family was pretty much excited I remember my sister was excited as soon as my mom I don't know my dad's reacted got it intentionally yeah but for the most part everyone knows it might end of all things so do you know the sex of the baby no I don't and those kinds of people who don't usually check I didn't take even with my first one I mean this one is not different beta I don't know what has been your biggest craving I haven't had any major cravings at all so I would say there's not really anything else tell how I've been craving a lot it's just that when I see some public oh I like that but I wouldn't really call that what has been the best part of being pregnant well then the best part is just knowing that you are growing someone inside of you and that that someone is going to be your child it's it's really amazing what has been the worst part of being pregnant or the worst part is just the fatigue feeling tired and then in this time I says the tremors aware even sleeping is a huge problem because you sleep on one side and we get tired asleep unless I did get tired so what I think that's but that I think could be the appropriate answer for this question the next one do you have any names picked out well when we were expecting our first child because we didn't know the gender we had a couple of names picked out so we didn't have to do this time because you already have those names in your minds who will be with you during labor well for my husband I don't know if my mom would be around but I don't know we'll see but my husband will definitely be there the next question is what do you most look forward to after the pregnancy I look forward to hundred the baby and in America but if my non-science number will kill my clothes right now I'm just wearing the same clothes off kind of a key called I haven't even shopped for anything like haven't bought anything new for this pregnancy of just used whatever I had the last question is do you plan to work or be a stay-at-home mom well I'm a stay-at-home mom already so I think it was a that thing that I'll be a stay-at-home mom I'm one of those people who believe in taking care of my children and teaching them the values that you want to instill in them other than will you then just stay with someone a tormentor clock stops oh yeah stay-at-home mom all the way that's pretty much it for the questions the a lot more battles reoccur over the campaign so I'd like to say thank you so much for watching and I will see you soon let's cut some time [Music] | TheModestNatural | UC2PXSioScctoPRTBA7sQwfA | 2017-10-30 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 588 | 2,960 |

TNik9belbD8 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNik9belbD8 | Various speakers - Lightning Talks | like 100 seats empty at the front and everyone's going to be standing at the back and it'll be a mess so come further forwards the further forwards you are the more you enjoy the lightning talks you can see people better if you've got any like uh Rotten Tomatoes you can throw them at the speakers more easily from the front like all of these sorts of things hooray oh thanks everyone actually people doing what I'm suggesting that's amazing there you go uh no they'll be all right if you're giving a lightning talk you know even better if you're sitting at the front that's a good idea yeah yeah yeah well I'll come over and look at it every often yeah guys come close to the front the closer to the front you come the more easy it will be for loads of people to come in lasia look at all this lovely front row that's empty here if you were sitting in the front row you would enjoy the lightning talk so much so much than in those bad seats at the back come on come forwards come forwards it'll be better no they'll be fine yeah come forwards everyone come forwards close to the front it'll make it much easier to fill the room think of it as helping out the people who are going to arrive late here we go lightning ts are you excited about that lightning ts are like the best part of the whole conference come on obviously apart from the meeting people and solving their problems and learning new things lightning talks then regular talks then then all the socializing that's terrible I hate that thank you guys that's excellent you can have the actual front row the front row to is really good Brave guy there there you go all right the front row nothing bad will happen I promise there's no audience participation all right you want to wait conference it's time to tweet them or text them now saying the lightning talks are going to start the lightning talks are the best bit come on in here who here has never been to lightning talks at a Tech conference 1 two three all right plenty of people all right guys this is like the best bit totally really short talks about really odd things sometimes really boring things sometimes really exciting things usually really exciting things sometimes very strange things sometimes funny things sometimes demos that go atrociously wrong uh all of this can more Anything could happen at this point anything it's magical how's everyone been enjoying the conference so far yeah all right we'll wait for more people to come in the room we'll do that again that we'll call that a practice ractice that was pretty good there you go how' you guys enjoy Ola and ola's keynote this morning like that is yeah that was like refreshingly different I have to say like that's just absolutely wonderful come to the front everyone yay the front is the best place to see the lightning talks hooray okay so start preparing like the first person I've got on my list over here is Austin Bingham Austin where are you okay you want to come up here and maybe wire up your laptop just make sure it works the next person after that is uh Fran Fernandez no we swapped them there you do Max TK Max tkf I apologize for mangling your name actually I've practiced all of the names in all the different foreign languages so whenever you hear me pronounce someone's name you should know that's exactly how it is pronounced absolutely true so T KF Max come to the front uh so that you're like really easily uh uh uh ready to start for the next thing lightning talks are great they're like five minute talks about exciting topics interspersed with about five more minutes of faffing around going oh why doesn't the dongle work I just it's a m i don't know why I what's the resolution where where's the window for where you change what displays on which so like and that's five minutes in between each one as a sort of repetitive relaxing routine yeah that's what I was to do all right all right am I on there you go so that seems like it works looks good enough all right it's as good as it's going to get's just that we we'll probably give him a couple more minutes five minutes is that five minutes is the uh yeah don't do that oh my God no but I have five minutes for the talk yeah you have five minutes for the talk we're just going to let a few more people come in and then we'll kick off all right welcome everyone come to the front there's like a whole row of seats at the front there'll be amazing seats come forwards come forward it'll make the people behind you find seats more easily hooray lightning talks you've come to the right room this is going to be the best thing of the whole conference yet apart from ol and's talk and all the people that you met and all the other talks that were actually better and all the bits where you didn't have to listen to the sound of my annoying voice hooray come in come in come in come in come in quick quick quick uh walk fast but safely lots of seats in the front row here yay the front row come on crane your neck feel like like you're part of the conference get right up and intimate and in touch with it all again please exactly you're not yob so please come and sit in the front row and Heckle harder come in everyone there's loads of seats to the front quick quick quick come on come on come on we're going to start it's going to be amazing hooray but we were waiting just for you guys we can't start without you but now the party can begin lightning talks all right and I think that might be pretty much it all right how is everyone enjoying their conference so far okay amazing well thanks all of you for being here thanks for coming to the lightning talks the lightning talks the best part of the whole conference apart from all the other bits that you like um so without any further Ado let's introduce Austin Bingham who's going to tell us about cosmic ray mutation testing for python hi I'm Austin um only got a few minutes so let's kick it off what is mutation testing some of you might have heard of this it's an idea that's been around for a long time 30 40 years in various researchy forms and is a really interesting thing so the idea behind mutation testing is that you take your existing code base that you presume Works to some degree and you make small controlled changes to it in a sense in some sense random random changes but not random but random esque you then run your test Suite which presumably passed before you made the small change to your codebase and then you see if your test tweet fails the idea is that if it doesn't fail then you've got a test tweet that's not adequate to detect all the possible things that could break in your code this is the theory of mutation testing uh really one of three classes of things can happen when you do this one what they call killed your your test we can detect the change and fail in which case they say you've killed the mutant another other possibility is that you get what's called an incompetent mutant which goes into for example an infinite Loop you make a change that causes it to spin forever this is one that your test Suite hasn't really failed but it has no chance to detect that the change has been made because the the the test never ends the final thing that can happen of course is this is what you don't want to happen is that your test Suite um doesn't detect the change and we say that the mutant survived and the goal of mutation testing is to calculate a survival rate essentially you want that to be zero you would like in princible for your test Suite to detect all possible changes to your code and this is what mutation testing does systematically mutates your code and then runs your test Suite to find these kinds of problems so this is not um this is not unique to python this has been done in many languages most notably Java has a very powerful mutation testing Tool uh when I learned about mutation testing of course my natural instinct was to make it work for python so I set out to do that um the basic approach is pretty simple you have Adam he's my he's my um uh my my package of choice of course you want want to mutate atom the the first person depending on what religion you are um and then you have a bunch of mutation operators and these are predefined things like um deleting arithmetic um part parts of subt trees of arithmetic operations or uh replacing break with continue things like that so these are the flavor of the kinds of mutations that you might apply and finally you have some test Suite there at the end that you run so it's kind of a triple nested Loop you have for each module in your package a b and c in this case and for each mutation operator and for each potential site each place where that operator can be applied you have this sort of triple nested Loop you then run your test suite and this of course can take a very very long time um but this is that's the basic algorithm of mutation operation so how do I do this in Python what was really joyous about this entire project was I found really all the pieces were in place already I was when I approached it I thought this is either going to be impossible or actually really fun and it turned out to be really fun because all the little bits and pieces you need to do this exist in the standard library or in really accessible third party libraries the module obviously is what we use for manipulating the abstract syntax tree so we actually you recompile on the Fly um the modules that we're mutating and then we walk the syntax tree and just start ripping things out and mutating them and throwing them away and that's how we mutate the code um sort of in real time we use the compile command to recompile abstract syntax trees into modules and we stick them back into place in the CIS modules uh map uh we use multiprocessing primarily for sandboxing this guarantees that no matter what the mutation does it can't somehow bork the rest of your program and so multiprocessing doesn't is not what we use for concurrency we just use it for sandboxing we use a library called Pika for concurrency which is an actor implementation in Python and it's a wonderful Library if you've never used fika try it the the author might be here and you can pick his brains about it but it's um a really really wonderful library that I've used multiple times to great effect um I mentioned uh well I didn't mention CIS metapath but we have to manipulate CIS metapath to put in our own loader uh finders and loaders are parts of the import subsystem if you don't know about them you can learn about them they're really interesting um maybe not from a practical point of you but if you want to know the guts of python and how a lot of the import stuff works you can read about this in the various peps and finally we use unit test for test Discovery we essentially say there's the test directory just scan it and find all the tests um we plan to support more test systems we do support P test at least nominally right now I'm pretty sure it works but I'm not positive because I don't use it all that often but it was something that was requested quite widely so unit test and py. test both supported right now um it works interestingly it it actually seems to do its job we have a a reasonably sophisticated test Suite that uh seems to keep us in check and we've run it over really large code bases for instance the hypothesis uh unit test or hypothesis testing system and other um other tools one of the problems with mutation testing is it takes a very very very very long time for any significant sort of code base and so some of the future work is going to be in improving that tying the mutation testing algorithm to coverage analysis tools saying okay we've only changed this bit of code so we only need to run these tests which we know touch that bit of code and that sounds easy but it's actually incredibly difficult because how do you know the mutation didn't cause the test to now touch this bit of code you don't so yeah okay that's it join in you can download it there all right thank you Austin amazing uh and then uh can I have who's next Fran Fernandez preparing up at the front Fran where are you excellent all right uh that was great okay so lightning talk rules we have exactly five minutes what I'm going to do is to try and encourage the speakers to finish uh if they hit their five minute rule I put up one hand uh and they then have to finish their current sentence uh and then finish the talk and the way we do that is when I put up one hand I want you guys to start clapping with your fingers can we practice that now just to make like this noise just with the fingers see and then the speaker will hear that and go oh oh I'd better finish and then when I put up both hands you can full clap try that now and then the speaker has to finish because no one can hear you anymore there you go that'll be great fine how you getting on an we're already straight away you didn't have to hear any bad jokes amazing there you go Max take it away you're going to tell us all about so uh hi everyone instructions um um instructions are everywhere they help us to do things right if we follow them as we should sometimes bad things can happen if we don't follow them properly as programmers we write instructions every day using python to make a program do what we want it to do but the problem is that sometimes we have to write a lot of code to solve even simple tasks for example imagine that you need to find all strings with a length of three inside the list the most straightforward approach would be to write a simple form Loop nothing fancy here just check if an item is a string and its length is three then this is what we are looking for we can also write list comprehension to make it look neater now what if our list also contains a list which also contains a list smells like a recursion um we can write can write a recursive function to solve this task and it will work but the problem is that not all people understand recursion because to understand recursion you have to understand recursion right so so while it's a very simple task we need to write quite a lot of code to solve it um we also need to take into consideration different python versions um like if we want our code to be portable and the thing is the thing is that we are writing this code again and again every day we are searching for some values inside iterable data structures and and I just decided that maybe it's it's time to write some kind of a library which will do that for us and I called it as you might expect instructions so let's have a look at how our task can be solved with instructions at first we do the import and because I'm a lazy person I like to use the I alas because it allows me to type less and then it's as easy as to speak English I'm asking instructions to find a string with a length of three inside a container the results are returned as a generator object to be Memory efficient so we have to cast it to list to see the actual results now let's have a look at our more complex example uh our container with a lot of list inside the code will be absolutely the same instructions will inspect all the nested iterable data structures and it doesn't matter how deep they are or what type do they have I mean whether it's a least to Tuple or dict or something instructions allows you to control how deep it should search how much results to return and what what data types to ignore during the search an instruction is formed from a few simple Concepts a commment a data type A filter and filter arguments and filter options now when we understand these Concepts we can have a look at other examples this is how you can find the string with a length of greater than or equal to three find any numeric meaning an integer flow and so on that is between five and 10 count how many integers are there that are divisible by two find only the first list that contains both four and bar find last Tuple which has at least one string that contains a substring bear and so on and so forth what we've seen so far was an example of an instructions basic mode but there is also an advanced mode which allows you to construct more powerful instructions here we want to count how many strings are there inside a container which starts with Fu and with bar but don't contain y and as expected the result is one instructions can be installed as usual from Pipi or clone from GitHub instruction supports cpython from 2.6 to 3.4 pi and piy 3 doesn't have any external dependencies extensive documentation is harded to read the docs already comes with more than 100 instructions included instructions has 100% test coverage but this is not just a number while the package itself contains approximately 400 lines tests have more than 3,600 lines of code unit test are awesome so instructions supports uh almost all python basic data types it also tries its best to be clever and Abstract differences between Python versions from you and it also has aggregated data types like numeric iterable and more common in next versions so this is it I hope you're as excited as I am and maybe you'll give this package a try and who knows maybe you'll never return to right and Loops anymore thanks all right and my instructions are that Fran should come up on the stage and prepare his talk and then the next person after that is going to be smart fields mchair Mila are you around here somewhere are you close enough to the front to be able to run up are you prepared are you ready are you excited it's going to be amazing all right fine so the pirate programmer walks into a bar and he's got like a parrot on his shoulder and uh uh the parrot's going pieces of seven pieces of seven pieces of seven and the bman goes I think there's something wrong with your parrot and the pirate programmer says yeah he's got a par error and then the bman says yeah I thought he was a bit off thank you I'm here all week and give a big hand to Fran who's going to tell us about the GDB so now hi uh GDB is your friend uh I find very interested in debugging how python works so I'll try to explain in minutes how can we explore how how cpython works so for do that uh we have to compile python that is very very easy probably you cannot see the the flags but you have to enable the baging flags that some of them are only available on um GDB version 7 and so on so we configure okay checks a lot of things yeah oh I have to buy a new computer so slow now we compile using it's fast and we install oh no don't worry I like to make little noises like but I find very interesting way of learning the internals of python just look in this screen and you learn a lot but uh at least you know well there's a lot of things there takes less finishing yeah hey now let's say that we're interested in knowing for example uh how list is implemented in cpython so one option is just mering around the files over over the source code and well we're interested in knowing how append works on list so we know this this file is list object. C and the name of the function is list happen okay we have some information this is one way that we can start so we run the python binary using this flag to not load all the things and make the debugging more pleasant uh okay we have an interpreter here we can interrupt and this is basic GDB probably most of you know how this this work and we create an breakpoint on list object or List we have Auto compete okay and we continue yeah and we will append some some stuff here up and one so we enter in the breakpoint we can explore the back Trace it's probably not quite readable there but uh we can know where is the entrance point on on python is in file py python. C line 69 and we can trace back how how the for example how it works and we can go layer by layer and trying to go deeper uh there we can also okay we are in this function and we will check what happens there we are in another function now and we can go step by step and understand better what's happening there for example here it gets the size of the list to get the where we need to append it checks it does a lot of checks because it's C okay uh you have been in my talk here the garbage collection is also taking care and we can go deeper and deeper you uh yeah and pretty much that thank you thank you friend welcome back chair all right so uh I wonder if I can use you while m is setting up to like exercise a little fantasy of mine which is that um I always wish that I was a drum and bass MC but um uh I'm kind of like the wrong social class and skin color to really do that properly and convincingly but since I've got a captive audience here um I think I might try it um a drum Bas MC for people not from the UK is a bit like a rapper except that they have absolutely nothing interesting or of value to say and instead their purpose is just to Hype up a crowd um so in the next section we'll do the drum and base MC europython lightning talk skit um but first M who's going to tell us all about smart feeds so hi guys first europ python presentation for me going to talk about social media aggregation okay we most of us do that or some of us do that but the question is then what um I have this is my my background um and smart Feit is actually a social media aggregation project Where We Gather uh messages from multiple sources like you know Twitter Instagram Facebook YouTube and so on WE aggregate them we display them in a single FEI feed and present them in the unified interface like the one that you might have seen on the hallways on some of the TVs um our setup is python only or actually almost we run D Jango for the front end app we run it with celery celery beat rabbit mq we have distributed Q specialized workers um aggregate them into POG grass with elastic search u g engine X and the fun part is that we process this we use nltk um heavily we put the data in a neural network where and process that data using Cassandra and Spark um we have moderation uh and this is where uh some of the nltk stuff comes in uh in handy um we try to filter out unappropriate content um yeah for conferences this is not the it's not the case because the crowd is quite uh quite friendly here uh we have also manual uh moderation we and we also are implementing a way to exclude for instance nudity from um uh images and we're talk thinking about having that on video as well um okay so what exactly can you do with all this data that you gather you have an event like this one then what do you do with it what we are trying to do is actually identify the people uh try to track them and try to group them together and see what they like what they do not like um we create we have a neural network that matches everything and based on that we can for instance predict how a specific brand will behave to changes what's the current mood of the people who like or dislike that brand based on changes that they do and what can be improved we use the same system for instance in gamification purposes like you know um internally for for um even for this event we'll see who had the most tweets the most retweets we'll provide this data back to the to the organizers and yeah provide analytics aggregations with elastic search and that's pretty much it we love questions so if you have any questions about the project uh please approach me on the hallway stay tuned because part of these projects will be made uh open source so everyone will be able to to use that that's it thanks thank you all right hey all the people at the back when you come and sit down at the front there's like uh six or seven seats over here there's about eight or nine down there if you come forwards you'll get a seat come on come on come on come on okay who's next on our little schedule we have uh string paing by Peter Peter Jabo Jabo you're here come on up and sit up and while Peter's getting ready is Rob Collins somewhere nearby are you wor you hiding Rob okay are you ready would you want to come to the front there you go guys you sit in the second row for hey Flores there hi guys hey you guys sitting at the back come on come to the front there's loads of seats to the front I promise that there'll be no audience participation you don't have to answer any questions or anything there you go all right fine so are you ready for the drama Bas MC bit I have to pretend to have a microphone it goes a bit like this m m m m m m b oh my gosh europython massive everybody in the house oh biging up all my programmer crew all my asparagus syndrome autistic staring at their feet hyper intelligent crew all my ladies crew all my science crew all my web development crew all my two people doing KV mobile development crew all are you're massive are you having a good time tonight Make some noise boo talk selector yeah okay here we go all right almost hands up who thinks I should switch career and move into drama of asmc yeah definitely right yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I hope I can I hope you can read all my slides in here and if you understand everything then and you can relax for the next 5 10 20 minutes um so I'm going to talk about uh some aspects of string parsing and the best practices I have discovered uh in the last couple of decades um so first or zero uh if you have a library to pass your input then use the library like the standard Json library in python or find a library before you implement your own par especially for HTML um if in doubt use regx like don't try to split call split lines and split and things like that um use a regx it can cover much your syntax much better most of the time uh use the row string syntax raise your hand if you know what this R means okay uh for the rest of you uh the are makes it interpretation of the back slash different so python when you have a string um uh literal in Python um it interprets uh the backslash as an escape character um but also backslash is a special character in regex so it prevents python from interpreting the backlash and the backlash goes directly to the reg library in here uh use uh r uh find iter and things like that uh to find all the matches um and ar. sub for uh substitution or replacement those are standard ideas but uh eventually by the end of the slide they will become complicated uh or or you they you will see how to solve it complicated problems with that also it's a lesser known feature that uh if you compile regx the search method and the match method method have an extra argument with where we which you can specify the first index of the string where to match so you match the beginning of the string then you can match the rest of the string uh with another regex that that's how it works you just have to remember the index that's very useful uh if you have a nested structure like uh a blocks or or parentheses in the within each other or like XML tags within each other don't uh even try with DRX that that would bound to fail uh so you either need to maintain a stack yourself or find a real parer um which is beyond the scope of this talk um and the most important thing I discovered is that uh things tend to break or we get incorrect result results unless we pack all the syntax into to a single regx so I can show you how uh the example is how to remove C comments from a c source file so comments are between these two um uh symbols so this is a comment also at the end of the line after SL slash till the end of the line that's also a comment so we can remove the second type of comment with the regx substitution but unfortunately it doesn't remove the first type so we first first remove the second type and on the output we remove the first type um but it will break don't don't try it because it violates rule number seven uh because we have two regs so it will break if there is a single line comment within a a multi-line comment uh so how do um and it will remove the word bar and it shouldn't um so how do we do that we merge those regx with an or into a single regx and remove them together that's the that's the basic idea and now there is a problem if there is a slash slash within a string literal so between double quotes we don't want to remove comments within strings so how do we do that we add even more kinds of tokens to the regex so we first have in here the single line commment the second part here is the multi-line comment this one is the character literal like starting with an apostrophe and the last um last part of the reg X is the string literal starting with an opp sorry starting with a double quote and what happens if we have a back slash and a back slash and a back slash and a double quote depending on the odd or even number of back slashes but everything is covered in in the middle here again we have uh the backslash singy and the non-bs slash singy separated by an or so everything is covered and the the solution is uh finally correct um and um I have hidden a space in the replacement uh string U and that's uh uh because uh if I remove it has to be a long long sentence from now um uh for this one this one has to be replaced by a space and uh it's an homework how to figure out where to insert the space and where not I don't know about you guys but I don't care if I've got like a 100,000 lines of code I think I would have done that by hand rather than try to understand that rejectx that was amazing so Rob and Fabian CZ Fabian CS where are you okay you're GNA set up I think at the same time as as Rob yeah okay excellent all right there you go Rob's Rob's actually going to do the first talk while Fabian saids up so give it to one y car said dongles maybe could one of the little prongs be slightly bent come on up Rob do you want to be to help a look at in there with his chair oh rob you look tired it's been a long trip oh I don't like flying to get to the airport and worry about which terminal youve got to go to once I went to the wrong terminal and then having to get to the gate and they give you about 20 minutes from the flight being announced to the gate closing and you got to get a train in that time and supposing you get the wrong train and it's all very very stressful and I find I really like staying at home but but too much work you know I've worked for weeks and weeks sat at the computer crouching over getting more and more stressed trying to get a project finished before coming to europython and I think what I need is a way to relax and not be so stressed but I'm at a computer conference and there's no opportunity I mean all we're sitting in comfortable seats but it's still lots of programs to attend at the right time you got to be there and it's all more stress so what I really would like is to have some opportunity for a nice relaxing massage but there isn't an opportunity at a computer conference is there no but hey wait a minute that might well be possible because on Wednesday evening there is a meal and possibly Thursday and Friday lunchtimes in the break there might be an opportunity for a massage a sponsored massage in Aid of the Python software Foundation all you need is a few expert people able to do neck and shoulder massage somebody such as Fabian who is going to demonstrate while I'm explaining what we're doing now it's just uh perhaps oh oh that's nice oh dear oh your muscles between the shoulder blades particularly get very tense and it's months of sitting in front of the computer that even a three or four minute massage can really help and the problem is that there's too many people here for me to do it on my own so I need some people to help and tomorrow at a quter to 5 in the exhibition area we will be having a massage training session so if you're interested to find out about Mass massage and how it relates to computer programming come along be prepared to join in Fabian not only uses his thumb and fingers but he will demonstrate using his elbow so if you have weak thumbs and fingers you've no need to think that you can't do it because elbows are very good my wife uses her elbow like that because her thumb's not strong enough so come and find out and help raise money for the python software Foundation we don't just need people who are able to do massaging we also need people who are able to help raise the money to go and talk to people please don't stop able to go around the tables say give us some money and more people may request not to have a massage and pay for the privilege of not having a massage then they would actually having mass and that's fine because python software foundation will benefit anyway so please come along and find out why massage is such a good fit and find out also why python software Foundation that protects our intellectual property in Python is a really good cause to be able to support in that practical way thank you I did Rob's massage course maybe two or three years ago uh and I really encourage you guys to go and check that out he'll teach you how to do a really simple back massage it only takes about five minutes to learn you can really help people you can use this skill at home or with your significant other uh definitely recommended 4:45 tomorrow is that right Rob yep there you go which room in the exhibition area in the exhibition area 445 learn how to do a massage and later help money raise money for the psf which we all love um there you go are you ready Flor yes uh okay you can hear me okay I'm telling a short story uh about extreme uh internationalization and I start with a Shameless PL um my name is Fabian Kitz uh I'm a newly baked entrepreneur and and I'm working on a storytelling uh role playing game platform I'm at the moment suffering a little bit from doing it all aloneliness um I'm also looking uh for for a partner and um that includes non technical Partners but uh the story that I'm telling you no I didn't even realized that that meant that no no no no no that's not what I mean um my my project is um basically has three uh three concepts there is of course the code itself which is on uh which is in JavaScript which is not a nice language but at least um it uh it supports utf8 completely and um if you use libraries you'll immediately end up with using English a lot um then as role playing games go there are different rule sets and the rules have their uh original language like for example German for a role playing game called dwat a does anybody know that for example nobody that's out there okay but it doesn't even matter what the original language is because it's translated into different languages and then of course we have the adventure text itself what the part that isn't even part of the platform but it is the content that is served by the platform and some author will write it in some language and I don't know which language that might be and of course while this second language the the one of the rules is the is the Locale of the application that you are installing uh you can download content of other languages as well and they would then run in the language of the rules and of course the adventure content is not only text but also some commands which use an API and did I mention that there should also be a web interface which also is internationalized so we have now here one language two languages well this doesn't really count I realized that only later uh three languages four languages but although that looks a bit complicated it isn't really that complicated it is nicely separable the big question is now in which language should I do the API no seriously that's that was my my big problem B um some people would use some people would use English simply because it's a defao standard but I'm a bit rebellious in these things so instead of using English I use uh sorry that's the wrong flag I didn't use Finnish that would be stupid because Finnish is spoken only by 5 million people so instead I use Esperanto which is also spoken only by 5 million people but spread all over the world and when I when I did that I realized that um that this language barrier creates a very nice clean separation in the same way as separating HTML and CSS as completely different languages if you imagine CSS could also be an XML dialect then it would look basically just like HTML but it wouldn't be it wouldn't give you the same separation so as you can see here in my code I have quite frequently the construction of my API as having the key in espiranto and then the function value would be somewhere in the code which is mostly English and the nice thing as you can also see somewhere when there are lots of dots you see immediately the Border when you go over into the into the API so from active Adventure variables context V tinta suddenly you realize oh I'm I I just slipped over the border and I found this really great and my and so my uh my suggestion for you is use espiranto in your apis all right amazing what have we got left oh fantastic we have exactly one talk left uh so Daniel where are you at the Daniel Pope yay okay and that is going to take us exactly into the next slot which is the uh beer slot so that'll do just fine hey everyone at the back if you want to come and sit down for exactly five minutes there are great seats up at the front here so I have a joke that takes about 15 minutes to tell I could start telling at you now and then if I do a little bit more lightning talks tomorrow as if anyone would invite me back um I could tell you a joke that's like meant to take ages and really waste your time and I could actually spin that out over three days who would like that you idiots everybody else in here hates you now okay so this is a story about a Russian watch maker who's uh nearing retirement um and he invites someone of his watch maker friends back and he says oh I'm retiring so I thought we'd try and decide what the most beautiful object in my shop is why don't you have a look around the shop see all these old watches that I've got and see which one you think the most beautiful is or what the most beautiful part is and so they're looking around checking out all the watches um and eventually one of them goes aha I found it and the Russian watchmaker comes over and goes what have you found what have you found he goes oh um I like the bracelet on this watch here and the watchmaker goes ah yes that is Gregor the bracelet this is how all Russian people speak um the Gregor the bracelet is a fine bracelet why don't you tell me why you like it um and the guy goes well you know um I like the way it's like got silver links alternating with golden links and uh I like the shape of the bracelet and after all if you don't have a bracelet the watch would fall off your wrist it's just not a watch it's an essential part of a watch that's why I think it's the most beautiful thing in the shop and the watchmaker goes yes Gregor is a very beautiful bracelet but I think not the most beautiful object in the shop are you ready Dan no okay that means you get more joke everyone um not the most beautiful object in the shop and the second friend of his pipes up and he goes ah I know why it's because this is the most beautiful object in the shop and he points at a different watch and the watchmaker comes over and he says H what are you pointing out my friend he goes I like the dial on this watch he goes ah yes that is Vana the dial van is a mighty fine dial why don't you tell me why you like it um and he says well I like the the fact that it's uh you know got Roman numerals instead of like normal numerals I think that's classic I like you where you've got little diamonds encrusted at least one of the cardinal points I like the plain black and white design and you know if you don't have a dial you can't tell the time and that's why I think it's the most beautiful object and uh the Russian watchmaker goes yes Vana is a very fine dial but I think not the most beautiful object in the shop um and they're like okay right well so you obviously have an opinion what do you think is the most beautiful object in the shop and he goes come with me and he takes him to the back of the shop and he shows them like a very old common looking watch it doesn't look like anything special and they're like what and he goes look at this watch look closely you see you see and then like no what are you pointing at goes I am pointing at the second hand ticking around its name is Olaf Olaf the second hand I think it is the most beautiful object in the shop because it's the first second hand I ever made and without the second hand you cannot tell the time and that is why the most beautiful object and you'll hear the rest of the story a little bit later take it down okay um okay so sorry battery trouble um um uh I'm going to talk about a library called pame zero which is a zero boilerplate games programming framework for Education that I've written over the past few months so to start talking about this I'm going to briefly cover the background uh there is a games programming competition called pwe who's heard of pwe okay so uh this is a weekl long games programming competition um it runs twice a year but uh I won it in October 2014 thank you uh and uh for various reasons it hasn't run yet this year so I'm still the champion yeah um my winning game was called Legend of goblet and it's an adventure game and uh one of the things that came out of this was like I uh wrote a scripting language because you've got like sort of tons of uh content to enter um so uh this is a a scripting language that is behind that game um I'm going to be talking on Friday about some of the like writing domain specific specific Pro domain specific languages in Python um so to to hear more about this kind of thing come to that talk um but uh now to show you the other thing that came out of ah the other thing that came out of this was um I started this this uh game uh using uh some ideas that have been kicked around through uh the education track at Pyon UK uh speaking to teachers uh they told me that py game was too difficult to teach um so like uh the basic your most basic Python program pame program is is like about 15 lines of python so I tried to uh take all of that out so here's an empty file uh the so that has been written as D.P I could run it it runs it does nothing because it's an empty file but at least it some you know does you can demonstrate that you've got it installed and then we might write a function called say draw okay and I will run that and it still doesn't did nothing but because it's for Education it's got a I don't know if you can see that it's got a spell checker but if I fix that mistake then it's two lines of code and I've got a a program that does something else um and so uh then you could do I could add something else could say uh screen hey I've got an alien and where did that come from it's in the images directory as alien. ping um so um I'm going to be sprinting uh on this in the in the Sprints um uh I think the the message here is that if you are targeting education you have to make things stupidly simple you have to remove every line of boiler plate you can you have to uh add things like spell Checkers and you have to pay attention to the the stack traces and the the feedback that's going to allow beginner programmers to uh to you know to advance um one of the other things about this is um that it is just P game under the hood so there is the potential to progress from this like sort of uh training wheels uh approach to something that is uh that you could write something like Legend of goblin that's what I got to say hooray thank you Dan ladies and gentlemen that is the end of the lightning talk so could you please give a massive Round of Applause to all of the speakers coming up next is a uh coming up next is a drinks for reception uh and refreshments out in the main exhibition area any organizers is there anything else I have to announce at this point or can we all get on nothing no announcements everything is fine we probably need more volunteers actually that's a good point do you need more session chairs and room managers we definitely need that so if you want to do session chairing or room managing if you want to help run this conference just for half a day go and find the registration desk ask the organizers volunteer to do a session chairing or room managing we really appreciate it thanks for coming to this amazing conference enjoy this evening four more days to go it's amazing don't forget to stay for the Sprints uh be kind to each other uh tip the waitress uh enjoy the Pinchos uh all of these things keep programming big love oh and if anyone's found a red Nexus 5 phone uh uh please hand it in red Nexus 5 phone anyone found that yep there you go L property registration desk there you go python python python python python oh it's over there look they they found it over look look red Phone Red phone red phone there you go okay oh yeah we'll tell you the rest of the joke tomorrow all right take the red reg to the registration desk please we take it to the registration desk thanks very much | EuroPython

Ray: Good evening everyone and welcome to Lakeland Currents. Tonight we're going to talk about an issue that's pretty touchy for people to talk about. It's a program we have never done before on Currents. And I think it's one that is so much needed. And that is suicide, suicide prevention. And I hope that by the end of this show we have done some things during this program that can help you if you are recovering family. Or if you have people who are in need of help. My guest this evening is Cassandra Linkenmeyer. And she is the area regional is the area director for the American Foundation For Suicide Prevention. Thank you for coming on board. It's a very, very timely topic. As we were talking before we went on air, one of the fastest growing areas in the world but also in Minnesota and the United States is depression. It's a very, very fast growing issue. And we need to have people like you and your organization that can help us start to deal with this. Maybe you could just tell us a little bit about your background [mmhmm] and a little bit about what your foundation does. Cassandra: Yeah, so I came to AFSP a little over a year ago. So I started in 2017. Prior to that date, we're a volunteer led organization. So there's two boards that operate here in Minnesota. So one is greater Minnesota which we is basically everything above Interstate 90. All the way north. And then our southeast Minnesota chapter covers the lower quarter of the state. And so I came into help these boards and to expand our work across the state. Which is exciting! We get to do more things in areas like Brainerd and the lakes region and even further north. So that's a little bit about what I do right. I'm going to take the work that I'm going to explain here shortly and help to get to expand it. So that's my role in Minnesota. I get to work with amazing people and volunteers all across our state. But our organization started in the late 1980's. It came, we came together as a group of researchers and a group of family members who had lost someone to suicide and wanted to know why this is happening what we can do to help stop suicide and to create ways and programs for suicide prevention. So, these two groups came together and founded the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention. And we've been growing organization ever since. We now have chapters in all 50 states. There's people like me in most states or in chapters. So we're kind of regional or area directors all across the country. And we kind of focus on four main areas as an organization we look at awareness and fundraising. That's with every non-profit you're gonna have getting your name out, your event and events to help raise money for your organization. But then we also our major areas and our education training, advocacy and law support too. So I kind of look at it into three main categories when we're looking at our work. Right, we have our prevention training which is everything we do on the front side. That's our trainings in prevention our advocacy work. We have our intervention training which is kind of the middle of the road and that's for in the moment real... at risk and crisis moments and then our post vention work is our loss support and our suicide survivor outreach program. So we have kind of different areas that we work with people on all different levels from prevention to intervention to post-vention. Yeah...is there any like...is there particular area that you want me to to expand more on? Ray: Start with? Cassandra: What do you want me to start with? Ray: Well, just to give you some of my own personal experience I've had (Yeah) a number of friends who have lost family members through suicide in the past three months. And in the last couple of years probably have known four or five families that have lost people (clears throat) and the thing that I've always found is that first of all they don't want to talk about what happened. (Mmmhmm) And the second thing it seems like I always hear is there were no clues that this was going to be coming. Is that a common couple themes that you deal with? Cassandra: Yeah. Yeah, I think so. I'll kinda break that into two parts. So we have this first part where we're still dealing with a lot of stigma around suicide. And it's something that can be very hard for people to bring up and to talk about. I lost someone very close to me about twelve years ago. And.... as a Catholic family we didn't know...like we didn't know if we could talk about it. We didn't know if we could have a service in our church. Thankfully things have changed, right? We even since that moment and since I've started this job and working with AFSP I've been able to see that change. Which is good for us as a society. Right, we're talking a little bit more about it. It's still very hard. People are....tend to be afraid if they say the word suicide they might cause that person to think about suicide. And what we are trying to put out there is that someone who is thinking about suicide has already thought about it. If you ask them directly you know, say that word to them, it's not gonna be the first time that they've thought about it. If you say, are you thinking about suicide, have you thought about suicide? It's not gonna be a novel idea to them if it's you know, the very first time that they're heard that word. So, not being afraid to use that word that's gonna help us reduce the stigma. We're also changed the language on how we how we say that word and how we approach it. For the longest time the phrase committed suicide or committing suicide was something that people said and they still do, it's very common to hear that. You.. hear it on television shows you hear it in every day language and conversations. But what we are trying to get people to change the language part of it so that we say, that someone died by suicide or took his or her own life. And the reason behind that is when we think of using the word committed we think of committed murder. Or committed something else that someone might consider a crime or in religious communities a sin, right? So, the research around suicide which I'll jump into a little bit later on too, it's you know...it's not a crime. And it's not..... something that we want to associate with that right? You're not going to be put into jail or prison so...changing even just that little bit of it, that phrasing on how we even approach suicide will help to decrease that stigma as well. Ray: I was reading that brochures that came from your organization and in Minnesota we have a suicide every twelve hours. That is...hard to believe isn't it? I mean it really is. And it seems like more and more are young people. Young high school kids, junior high school kids. And there's even have been elementary kids have talked about this. When you work in the area of prevention how do you approach that? Cassandra: Yeah I'm glad you brought that up, so, in Minnesota it's about two people per day we lose almost 800 Minnesotan's every year. Umm... and it is...that makes it the 8th leading cause of death over all in our state. Before young people age 15-34 it's the 2nd leading cause of death. in...so that's a big problem, right? And it's something that we as a state and community should take and look at pretty seriously. The 2nd leading cause of death for young people. It's pretty scary when you think about it and there's a number of programs and research that's being done in that particular area, programs that we're developing to help prevent that...prevent suicide among young people. We have specific programs that we bring into schools we partner with a lot of other organizations too, to bring programming into schools or into religious communities or just anywhere where we can get people talking and get some education out there around it but it's particularly tricky and heart breaking to see young people die by suicide. It effects communities I mean any suicide is going to effect a community. It's particularly heart breaking though to see a young person so. The more we can get out there and get people talking about it on the prevention side of things on being proactive in preventing it the better off and the more lives that we can save. The better off our communities will be. Ray: I know I had one friend who's husband died by suicide, I'm gonna try to use your language. (clears throat) And he had this all planned out. He was teaching her how to mow the lawn with a riding lawn mower, doing all kinds of things. He was planning his exit. Is that typical or do you see a lot of it's just random? Cassandra: Yeah. I'm glad you brought that up. So that's I'll talk a little bit about the perception that we see when it comes to someone who has died by suicide. So, often we look at a triggering event, right, what we call an environmental factor. We'll see job loss or bullying or a divorce or a financial crisis right? So we look at sort of this big life event in that person. And but what we don't see are these underlying factors. They might have you know what we call historical factors. There might have been other people in their lives who have died by suicide who are related to them. And there's research being done into the genetic tendencies. And there's also the...so we have the environmental factors which we see the historical ones and then biological factors as far as they might be living with a diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health condition. And we know that 9 out of 10 people who do die by suicide are living with a mental health condition (really?) again whether or not it's been diagnosed or adequately treated is a big factor as well. Ray: Nine out of ten? Cassandra: Yup, nine out of ten. Ray: Wow, that's significant. Cassandra: Yeah and we've actually studied yeah we've studied people's brains so after they've died by suicide if you look at a persons brain, it's chemically different...than a healthy brain. And so we know that there are biological and possibly genetic factors in that persons brain and that persons structure that is influencing that decision and that choice. And so sometimes when...you know the feelings of hopelessness and despair can come on really intensely and it can be you know a very quick decision or in that example that you provided it can be something that's been building for a while. And all these factors are playing a part and causing pain in that person. And when that pain gets to a certain level that person is just focused on getting out of that pain. They...their vision...not their vision but their um...it's like a tunnel vision almost right they're only thinking about a way to get out of that pain. And like I said so sometimes it can be very intense and will come on in last for just a few seconds or a couple minutes or sometimes these feelings will last for hours. So there's still kind of a lot of research into that, that question of why and how it can take someone a you know....what we look at as maybe a snap decision or it's something that they're planning for. Which is a warning sign. And we can talk about that too some warning signs to look for, but. Ray: Do you have any research to show how many people who die by suicide might have just... terminal illnesses? Cassandra: Yeah. I don't know any of those facts and figures like off the top of my head but I know that there's research done into that as well. And that I think falls into your biological factors. So I do know that certain illnesses can increase risk of suicide. Beyond mental health conditions so having health problems such as diabetes or other things can influence that as well, so. Not just mental health conditions but also chronic health conditions, physically effect the body can play a role in it as well. Ray: Recently one of the national networks did a really good piece on a young girl who died by suicide and there were a lot of family videos of her of how happy she was. She was a dancer and an actor and everything they saw was just this happy person. But she had a diary and this diary was so dark and so depressing and when she finally died by suicide they were totally shocked until they found that diary and they found that it was almost like two different people in that same house. Do you see that from time to time with others, too? Cassandra: Yeah, and I think when we look at you know...I think...after a suicide it's can be very tough and very hard for people to look back and try to identify and it's...but it's also very common. We look back and try to see where what we have missed, right? Or what we didn't see. And I think for that particular.... individual...... well in many cases I think the...that the important part is the prevention side of it. Is letting people know that it's ok to seek help in those situations. And its hard you know after a loss to look back and think well, where could we have done this? Ray: Right, right. Cassandra: But I think we as a society right, culturally our communities can be better about this and promoting taking care of yourself as far as your mental health goes and your physical health goes cause that plays an important part as well. But in those cases I think we need to really focus on that prevention sort of things and let people know that it's ok to not be ok. And if you are thinking about suicide that's your indication your clue to ask someone for help. You know if you're feeling desperate and isolated those are your indications to seek help. And there's a number of ways to do that it can be reaching out to someone you know that you're close to. But it can be as simple as sending a text message to our crisis line or making a phone call to the crisis line. And we as a country are making that a lot easier. In fact we just passed legislation and there's more money in funding federally that's going to continue to support both the crisis text line and our national suicide prevention hotline. So we can see on that high scale we are making this more of a priority there's obviously a lot more work that we can do. But this is a really good first step. And I think with that additional funding is gonna be some more awareness and so people will feel hopefully they'll have that resource they'll feel more comfortable making that phone call. And maybe not on behalf of themselves but you...if you see someone in your life that you're worried about that's your indication your clue to make that call do some research online, find out a way you know to offer them some help. Or for yourself to look for help as well. But it's very hard to look back at a...you know after a loss and try to figure out what we could've done. Ray: So many people feel the guilt. We've done something wrong. We didn't do this with our son or our daughter or our brother woah. And then it's just something they don't want to talk about. There's that stigma about suicide that it's like this deep dark place. Like you said, it's like somebody committed murder. And so it's hard for people to talk about that. It really is. It's very hard. And then when you work with people on their loss what are some of the techniques you use? How do you help people through that period? Cassandra: Our organization has really great resources for loss. I'll give you a couple of examples of what we do. So we have support groups for both adults and then teens and yup...youth and adult support groups. So we have those located across the state. People can look online and find them. That's usually a good place for people to start when they're seeking resources for loss. It's not...... and the important thing is to find what works best for you. To help you through your grieving process. So we have support groups we also at AFSP have our survivor outreach program where someone who's newly bereaved can reach out to us and we will match them with a volunteer for a one time meeting but a volunteer who's gone through a similar loss. And maybe it's a phone call. Maybe it's they're meeting for coffee in this day and age and with distance maybe it's Skype, maybe it's an online video you know chat or something but we partner someone who has a similar loss. Simply to have that interaction with someone who can relate to you on a very personal level. Who's experienced that sort of loss. But grief is different for... individuals. And so when we we want people to find what they're comfortable with. Sometime it takes people years to reach out and to maybe attend their first support group meeting maybe to attend their first event with AFSP or with a different organization about you know with loss and dealing with suicide. And sometimes it's right away. You know, it depends on kind of where they're at and how they want to grieve. But, it's yeah it's very personal but there are I want to stress there's lots of great resources and it's important to find something that works for you. As a person who has lost someone you then are at a higher risk yourself for suicide. So it's really important as a grieving person to take care of yourself too during that process. So finding the help, reaching out to your family doctor practitioner reaching out to the support groups or survivor out reach program those are....they're gonna help you heal and stay safe as well. Ray: You talked about the brain scans that are being done by people and that's really fascinating to me because they're doing that with football players or people who have CTE it's....is there much information you have yet to see if there's a genetic link? In families? Cassandra: Yeah, that's another part that's so... traumatic brain injuries are...have been linked to an increased risk of suicide. So, you know those athletes who are injured that way people who are injured in car accident or other traumatic ways, there is....there's a a risk an increased risk for suicide. And it's again your brain is changed a little bit chemically. You might also be suffering from again a mental health condition too, you might have depression or anxiety as a result of this. And that can again be a factor for suicide. Ray: I've had a friend in the health field who told me that his experience is when someone decides they're going to commit suicide you can't stop them. You can delay it but later on they're going to do it. Is that a fair statement? Cassandra: It's not accurate. If someone who has tried and we call them a lived experience someone who has lived experience they...most people who are thinking about suicide or have attempted do not go on to die by suicide. And so...it's good that you bring that up because one of the ways that we keep people safe in that moment is removing them from that potential situation if someone is actively you know, considering or at a high risk situation removing them from that and creating space between them and their what we call their lethal means or their preferred means. And so creating that space or removing that means is gonna help keep that person safe. And....that can be we.... see that...on different waves. But if you want I can give you a couple of examples of that as well. So, we know that firearms are used in 52% a little over 50% of deaths suicide deaths. And so removing that or creating good education and if you're a gun owner knowing how to keep your friend or someone safe or how to keep your gun safe if there's a crisis is important. Again creating some space or just having a gun lock right? On your weapons too, can keep someone safe. If it takes maybe three seconds to take off a gun lock it might be three seconds that stops that person, so. Again a little bit of space right there. Blister packaging in potentially lethal medications can help keep someone safe. If they have to punch out the individual pills again that's creating some time between that decision and that means right that action. Community wise, installing barriers on bridges can help deter suicides. And that actually can deter that individual. But also can help bring down the whole rate for that region. Of those particular bridge barriers. And another common one are installing CO carbon monoxide? Is that right? Ray: Carbon dioxide. Cassandra: Yes carbon dioxide sensors in your car so if it reaches an unsafe level your car will shut off. (Oh) So there are ways to give people time, right. To give them time between that reaction that choice and that means and that that time is what can save their life. Ray: So, you talk about the biological side of things if they're able to some day start seeing that there are brain issues or people are tendencies to do this do you see that maybe medications coming that will help people deal with that? Cassandra: Yeah. Yup and that that's good....again part of like being you know treating your mental health condition in what way works best for you. For some people it's you know, combinations of pyschotherapy or medications. It can be either or. The important thing is to find what works best for you. But yeah absolutely medications can help just get people healthy. Sometimes it might mean a lifetime being on that medication or it might be a few months. It's whatever you know, the program is for you but yeah I think the important part is to find what works best for you. Whether it's a combination of therapies or medications. Ray: And you've talked a little bit obviously the loss and the impact that it has on families but this has a huge economic impact in Minnesota and nationally could you talk a little bit about that? Cassandra: Yeah, so the latest report that we that we ran showed that in the United States it's 69 billion dollars lost in productivity and wages per year so that's the fiscal impact that it has (Wow) on it, on us as a country. And just we know that for every person who dies by suicide there's at least a hundred people who are effected by it on average, right. And so that could be entire communities are effected by it. So, again that fiscal part plays a big part of it too. But there's other social levels that are coming into it too for your entire community. Ray: That's a lot of money. And you talked a little bit about loss but about the science of loss. What's happening there? What are they studying there? Cassandra: Yeah so there's all....there's really great programs or excuse me research programs that we're funding. We're the largest private funder of research for suicide and suicide prevention. And you can read about them online but there's some really exciting stuff coming out as far as new methods for prevention. Again studying how our brains are working chemically. And I'll be excited...I'm excited to see down the road some of the results of these these projects that are happening right now. But again these were actually seeing now these research projects result in things that we can use as far as new treatments and programming and education to help people stay safe and stay alive. Ray: How about the families that just have gone through this loss. Do you have programs....you said you have support groups you have networks of people. But a lot of people don't feel comfortable calling support groups. Is there places online they can go or is there other places that could help if they're a private family and they just need some help but they're maybe not comfortable asking for it? Cassandra: Yeah, I would say start with our website go....that's a great place to start. You can see the resources listed there as far as if you're thinking about suicide or if a family member is thinking about suicide or if you know someone who has died. So different ways to kind of channel how....the support that you need. And the resources that you need. But I also think too as an individual finding the people close to you for some it might be reaching out to maybe a member of their religious community or just a close personal friend someone that they can open up to. But that's where I would start is.... finding the way that's comfortable maybe it is just doing online and looking at AFSP website or other websites for programming. Also counties offer services. Our state offers services and programs as well. So there is support out there. It's a matter of finding it. And I know that you know, Minnesota's a big state there's lots of rural areas. And I'm very thankful that we do have you know, our....the suicide prevention line and we have in most places internet access where you can reach it. Because it might be a 2 hour drive to your family doctor or your you know your practitioner. And so, having some of that stuff either that you can call in or look online is really important. I think in that grieving and healing process. Ray: And that's the Minnesota or the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.org. ? Cassandra: Yup and it's just our acronym. AFSP.org. Ray: AFSP.org. (clears throat) Cassandra: Yup and our website has not only the loss support but also our training programs on there too for more education if you want to work on the prevention side of things as well. Ray: So organization....we got about a minute left here but organizationally what's your biggest challenge? Cassandra: Personally I think our biggest challenge is still the stigma associated with suicide. And..... the challenge of getting people to seek help when they need it. Maybe not in a crisis situation but just if they're feeling depressed, anxious getting people smart about their mental health. Getting our culture smart about mental health is gonna save lives. So I think for me, changing that perception around you know, it's not easy to pull yourself up by your boot straps if something is wrong in your brain, if you are hurting. Mental health is just as important as physical health. And so for me, that's the big...that's the big perception shift that I want to see. Ray: Well, thanking you for jumping on with us. (Yeah) It's really powerful information. And I hope that people will use your website. (Yeah) It's great work that you're doing. Thank you very much. Cassandra: Thank you for having me.

iJtoluBkeGI | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJtoluBkeGI | Introducing IO Devices into Trusted Execution Environments - Jun Nakajima, Intel Corporation | from Intel today I'm presenting how we can include eye of devices in into your trust or execution environment the first generation of a virtualization based uh trusted execution environment tea VMS virtual machine such as Intel's TDX gas trusted domain extension guest do not include the devices or accelerators into um trust the boundary of tvms so the devices are not allowed to read or write the TVM confidential memory because of that because of that limitations the current techniques used for the tbms incur significant performance overhead especially for high performance i o so this is our gender I start with existing eye of virtualization Technologies and implementations for VMS then I'll explain the limitation of the current IO virtualization when used for their tvms especially with the i o virtualization I'll summarize tdisp te device interface security protocol and then I'll summarize the TDS architecture and then requirements also introduce the Intel TDX architecture in support of a t e i o as interest implementation that helps allow direct assignment and an establishment of a trust between a TD TD is a trust domain and then TDI device interface hosted by tdisp compatible device then we'll talk about the software changes required for Intel TDX in support of a teio I'll show some high level software flows for basic operation and then show a software touch points or a new functionality to enable uh Intel TDX insupportable Tio showing a conceptual structure of a vmm with Intel TDX support so let's revisit the current IO virtualization Technologies there are two types of i o virtualization Technologies to die first one is software based IO virtualization those include virtual devices or synthetic devices such as broad IO with software-based I advertisation the vmm exposes a virtual device such as network interface controller Nick tier VM and software device model in a vmm or the host OS emulate the behavior of the virtual device the device model translate the virtual device command to physical device commands before forwarding the request to the physical device and modem processors or platform provide features to reduce virtualization overhead then maybe you try spider bmm to allow VM to use a director access to Hardware i o devices especially Intel for example supports uh the following uh Hardware assisted IO virtualization schemes for Direct data movement without needing a software assistance for example direct device assignment or sriv or a scalable Irv scalable higher virtualization here just to Define device interface it's uh the unit of a assignment for Io fertilization capable device now let's take a look at the direct access to Hardware i o devices in VM we need a hardware support for example mmio to access device interface such as the registers we also need a dma remapping capability or the iommu support also for their device interrupt isolation we need interruptal remapping feature a point I would like to make here is the bmm needs to be trusted because it is set up a hardware for the up above the the feature above for protection and isolation for boys our hearts both the first internet guest and for TBM trusted VM devices also need to be trusted now take a look at the TVM and an IO virtualization here I'll talk about how there is trusted execution VM environment especially in this presentation of focus on uh virtually virtual machine such as a TDX guest as I said at the beginning the first generations of a TVM such as Intel TDX gas don't include the physical devices in and accelerator such as fpga into the trust Computing base of the tvms devices are not allowed to read or write the TVM confidential memory because of the limitations today the vmm exposes a synthetic device interface to TVM for Io virtualization the same synthetic device interface is defined to be vertization friendly to enable efficient virtualization compared to the overhead of associated with uh Iowa emigration or soft emiration but this however uh requires the TVM to Stage the data that needs to be sent out copy copy in copy out from devices in shared memory which is designed to hold contents accessible to the vmm and then the hypervisor further protects the confidentiality and the Integrity of the such data the TVM is is expect to use a cryptographic protection on the i o data for some synthetic IO devices like a network storage dbm May employ software based cryptographic techniques for data protection for example the networking the ptbm may use TLS transport layer security well some mechanism to protect the data sent to the Nick but this cryptographic protection actually disable the dbm to off-road the computation directly to the GPU or PGA because they need to consume the data so if it's uh encrypted they cannot consume the data for computation so the question is if we can trust the GPU fpga accelerators can we can the TVM use then to off-road competition so this is the case the keys for the encryption decoration can be shared with a trusted device and then TBM for example we can use mktme on Intel platforms however the issue is the problem is if the data link is out of a TCB then for example the because of a switch is uh in between the TVM still needs to use a shell memory combined with cryptographic data protection so as you saw the followings are requirements for Tio we need a some trust and trusted entity outside the TVM because the TBM is not included by the tbm's TCB today for TBM trusted VM and we also need to have a mechanism to trust the devices or trusted devices that would require device or devastation uh we discussed this one we presented this device starting station yesterday actually and then we need a additional Hardware support for example we need to make sure the pcie data links are secure and also we need a protection or Access Control for the dma mapping and mmio and more importantly we need a standards because uh devices are platform independent so trusted devices need to be used for vendor agnostic ways and I believe the answer to that is uh tdisp T device interface security protocol which I uh introduce next or tdisp data spell defines an architecture for trusted audio virtualization um which includes establishing a trust relationship between TVM and Tio device Tei device interface called TDI is a unit of assignment for Io virtualization capable device for example a TDI may be an entire physical device or SRV virtual function and second thing is the securing the data path PCI interconnect between the host on the device transfers must be crypto graphically protected to avoid or to provide confidentiality integrity and then replay protection to TVM data such schemes must also be gird against the violation of a producer consumer ordering and then support TDS per assignment and the removable life cycle in trusted manner and then more details are defined in the spec here and then it is upon the foundation provided by the CMA spdm the spdm pcis BDM is a security protocol and data model specification it's about the standard messaging data object sync sequences for performing messages exchanges between devices the device exchanges include all authentication and provisioning a harder identities measurement for Fermi identities session key exchange protocol to enable confidentiality with the integrity or protect the data communication and as I created the capabilities the CMA means a component measurement and authentication it's basically uh defines uh additional optional security feature and this is a uh used for the software session I'll talk about that radar the other one is IDE integrity and data protection ID provides confidentiality integrity and replay protection for TLS sorry TLP the transaction the pockets which is also PCI defined by PCI it's a loadable uh Hardware you know layer and then this provides the implementation for the securing the data paths the the interconnect right I just mentioned the the previous slide this is a TDS for architecture overview as you see there's a hardware interconnect the PCI fabric here and the color coding the this light blue is a TCB of TVM accepting the device and this car is a TCB of all tbms and then the yellow is up here well orange boxes are not uh TVM tcv and then the this is a key element in this architecture which is a TSM T security manager this is a this runs on the host the other thing is that so this is a per device oh it's called the DSM device security manager there are logical entity and then DSM is all talk about more details of the the functionality of TSM or the DSM later and then TSM and DSM build trust relationship using spdm TD ISP and then obviously this is a TBM then we see the two dbms here and they have access to the TVM but TDI this is a key device interface this is again the unitable device assignment and as you see they have a state also TDI can be assigned to Legal CVM and in that case the it doesn't have the TDSB state which is just to act like a legacy device I'll explain the TA here and before I explain the ta uh the standard uh added definition of tibit tibit is defined in ID prefix it essentially allows the originative TLP to indicate a TLP is associated with a TVM and TA in the picture or it's a translation agent it's it's a parameter to use a tidbit and that provides access control to TVM or assigned memory and then the memory mapped i o registers like a trusted mmio or dma and it also identified the request originated by TDI in a long state land state is one of the uh TDI State and then whenever the TDI is already ready for use uh it should be in a run state okay next I'll talk about the more details the TSM the functionality of TSM so first it provides interface to the vvmm to assign memory CPU and interior resources to TVM also implements a security mechanism to the access control for example iom maybe translation table or mmio they are still a bit vague I'll explain this uh with some more using implementation this point and then also uh like a mentioned the TDI has tedious respect state and then TSM use TD display protocol to manage security state of the tdis and then also that it used to establish the ID encryption keys for their host now next I'll talk about the dsm's functionality again the DSM is a power physical device this is a device this one this uh box is the and then you have the DSM pod device this is used for a function as an authentication of a device on day to day and then also reports the measurement of the device this is a device level not the TDI level okay and using for the spdm session uh then once the key is there then if configures IDE encryption key in the device and then uh it manages the tdis such as the configuration or locking the TDI configuration also report the TDA configuration and also attach or detach tdf from tbms um so forth now next I'll talk about the Intel's TDX for Te IO so this is a architecture overview notice this uh this is a t i o device in this picture this uh you know in the previous picture the T device was at the bottom and this has been moved to the right hand side but in terms of architecture logically this is consistent with the TD spot architecture that I just showed and the number one this one uh is a t device okay in this picture that this device has a one physical function and a legacy virtual function and it has two uh TDI the interface uh just the device interface so two and then the DSM and then another PCI ID port okay and this in a Intel TDX with a te i o support this functions as that this means that the Intel TDX module and then the TPM TPA is a TDX Pro versioning agent functions as a TSM okay and then number two is IDE uh we just saw uh in the datives architecture and three the hardware has trusted uh mmio and dma mapping support and I also have a pciid root Port support and then number four is the combination of a Intel TDX module and then TPA TPA is a so-called architectural TD TD is a trusted domain it's a guest uh trusted a guest or TVM in uh TDX implementation and between the TVM and then TDI the trusted memio and then the dma remapping is are provided in this picture like I said uh this is not this is a software session between the DSP and TSM and this is a harder session this is a power device and then this was also a power device session okay next I'll talk about changes required for the Intel TDX in support of a Tio before I show the changes required to enable TDX I'd like to show the high level software flow for basic operation including initializing how the how we initialize the Hoist machine for TDX support let's just call this I call step a so let's take a look at the some details so if TDX module is not loaded then the host vmm needs to load the TDX module and completes the initialization and then checking the the presence of a Tio support then uh it configures the trusted iommu and then the PCX password then launch the TPA TD so look look at how we start spdm session with the device for the secure communication first the vmm checks the device capability required for Tio device I don't talk about the uh the details but it's about for example PCI doe capabilities I'll cover that the doe data then it creates spdm metadata for the TDX module okay and it it uh invokes the TPA to start a speedm session with a physical device injecting the interrupt basically trigger the TPA action and PPA uses a spdm to collect the device certificate and a measurement and a return to their vmm for device attestation later and TPA passes the sbdm session keys to the Intel TDX module and then TPA Returns the device certificates and the measurement to the vmm okay the step C is set up the ID stream for link encryption first wmm creates ID stream by calling the Intel TDX module and it queries configure the device ID extended the capabilities and then it programs the keys for all ID substream visible so receive and then transmit Direction and then uh it starts all ID substream with both receive and then transmit Direction now we have a spdm session and ID session they are secure now now what can vmm do when handling a tedious messages are Integrity protected essentially it's encrypted and the keys are maintained by TDX module so but uh the vmm communicates with the device DSM and then actually send receive the actual TD display messages so it needs to call the TDX module to prepare I mean create and then product a required a TDS message and then the TDX module returns a secure the payload so that the bmm can actually send or receive the message now talk about the step D which is a start the TDI now talk about step D which is a start the TDI so the first step is the bmm creates a data structure for the device interface and then configure TDI then the bmm calls the TDX module to move that TDI state to the locked state by generating a tdisp message then the bmm creates a TD and bmm assigned or TDI to TVM now TD gets the device certificate and a measurement from the vmm then TD verify the device based on the TD specific policy once the verification passes then the TD can accept the TDI to the TDX module then the TD uses a tdisp protocol to send that to this message get our interface report from the DSM and TD accept if it's uh okay then TD accept mmio and then dma remapping uh deported in that report by the function provided by the TDX module then tdrequest.tdx module and then the vmm to move the TDI into tdisp Run state and then finally it um set up accept MMI 1 and dma to pin now we are talking about the software touch point for enabling Intel TDX in support of TD Tio our goal is to take advantage of our TDS per architecture and the implementation as much as possible we we want to define the common layer across the different implementation from a different vendors and then Define the vendor specific operation including a Intel TDX so this picture shows a our conceptual structure when we support tdisp and then the Intel TDX support the color coding the orange means that the subsystem required for TDS support like I said tdisp builds upon spdm and an IDE an sbdm requires a PCI doe a data object Exchange essentially uh uses a PC config space okay and then yellow boxes are generic TDS per support subsystem here here and then uh light blue uh shows uh Intel TDX specific uh subsystem or functionality as you notice uh there are a couple of places one is around three days per IDE spdm and also the iommu and then also is also the in the guest side DDX support okay so let's take a look at more details so so one is associated with a PCI or IO please say virtual i o subsystem to expose a TDI to TD we need to identify teio capability of the device and then once it's identified then we may need to do additional initialization that are required by the tdisp before we assign the uh to do this to the guest okay and then T this sub uh specific uh subsystem this will be response for TDI State Management also request the spdm ID system support and then bind TDI to the Target TBM also for Intel specific operation uh for example calls a TDX module to prepare a liquidity this message like I mentioned about right before third one this is uh Around The Trusted mm IO or DMS support trusted a memio is managed by the secure EPT we can use the same page paging instructions for both secure EPT and then iomme um iommu page table okay and the last one is uh PBM or TD changes for example enumeration of a TDI attestation also acceptance and also extension to the kernel API to support MMI or dma essentially accept the mmio or dma deported by device report device interface report we have a white paper publish probably during this week and that should be available in the website where TD TDX specifications are placed with that uh I'd like to uh finish that my presentation thank you for your time

crazy stuff but I don't care what y' mad for because I'm telling the truth Shalom Israel what's up youtube7 back with another one the topic for Theon night is idolatry for dummies [Music] [Applause] we going to be reading from Exodus 20: 3 and 6 let's get it the Torah mentions idolatry long before it defines the concept and ex practices it is not until the Revelation at Mount Si that Yahweh gives the guidelines for defining idolatry Yahweh explains the concept and practice of idolatry in Exodus 20: 3 and 6 Exodus 20: 3 through six you shall have no other gods besides me you shall not make for yourself a sculpted image or any likeness what is in the heavens above or on the earth below or in the waters under the Earth You shall not bow down to them them or serve them for I your Elohim UD wahi am a impassionate Elohim visiting the guilty of the parents upon the children upon the third and upon the fourth generation of those who rejected me but showing kindness to the Thousand generations of those who love me and keep my Commandments I want to Aver that we are given the allinclusive rule of what it idolatry is in verse three I also assert that verse 4 in the first part of verse 5 continue to define the broadest elements of the concept verse four is the next step from the allinclusive boundary encompassing all forms of idolatry it defines idolatry in its broadest conceptual physical terms the general description given covers everything that might be found in yahweh's Creations including people the first part of verse five take the next broad stroke forbidding bowing down to any of the seeming infinite forms of idolatry in the universe the rest of verse 5 and verse 6 Express the drawbacks of violence in the commandment and the benefits of obeying the Commandment for sake of modern day 2022 mindset that may discount or discredit idolatry I will show the English and hebraic meanings of the important words associated with idolatry so let's get to it the word used for idolatry in verse four is sculpture image which is number 6459 Hebrew lexicon Hebrew word pel which means an idol a image it's a noun masculine short definition an idol an image the meanings again an idol and image carving Graven image let's move on to the next word the root word for sculpted image is p which is Hebrew lexicon number [Music] 6458 Pau means to Hugh Hue into shape short definition to Hue Hue into shape and the meaning to Hue he into shape great wve and Hue a prime root to carve whether wood or stone grave Hue let's get back to it the English definition for pel is given as Idol image sculpture Effigy statue a definition that also includes figurines statuettes that is any sculpted or molded image representing some level of deity I say some level of deity because idolatry is fraught with many levels of godhood the lowest of which is God incarnated in human beings or sons of gods or the other word they say B yahs the term pel is also used in Torah for multi images the concrete language of Torah expressing idolatry is physical represented in the form of some form or figure anyhow as any idolator whether 3,000 years ago or present day and they will likely tell you you crazy and they are not worshiping Idols sad but it's true they often have and still say that the figure or picture they buy down to is merely a symbol a real world representation of the god they are worshiping therefore in their minds what they do is not idolatry at all even the anthropol who worship a human as a God and believe in deification of a human also believe they are idolators either they know the figure or the human they're worshiping isn't actually the god they are worshiping however the actions of idolators completely undermines their words and logic of course that premise is based on the idea that there are many gods and it's perfectly fine to worship a human being and make images of them however the Elohim Yahweh says something very different than man offers to support his idolatry the context of Exodus 20: 3-6 deal with idolatry and Toto therefore emphasize on the physical aspect of idolatry does not exclude the abstract concept of idolatry logically that is very clear and y'all should understand what I'm talking about but anyhow it is also plainly addressed throughout the Torah the general term used to convey the vain fertility of worshiping the concept of idolatry and the physical representation of gods is simply gods of others as it says in verse three at first glance it would be easy to interpret verse three as applying only to idols and parts of creation when we remember idolatry has first a conceptual Foundation accompanied by a physical representation we can understand verse three equally applies to any form idolatry whether abstract or physical idolators may have anywhere from one to many gods not of all which are represented in a Graven form therefore we may correctly understand verse three as applicable to both the specific and to the principle or abstract concept of idolatry the all inclusive context of verse three coupled with the slightly more specific context of verse four makes a complete open and shed case plus airtight Definition of idolatry like I said once again simple logic comes to our Aid in understanding this premise idolatry is a product of man's free association imagination which began before the great flood through building upon a miss understanding that developed into a full-fledged Distortion of yahweh's Truth you already know some [ __ ] just can't take truth truth is a tough pill to [Music] swallow like share and subscribe | Adoniyah°720 | UCipjV4abDS95PzUDzdHpC5g | 2022-08-11 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 1,047 | 5,875 |
N6Zqsq-P4Rk | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6Zqsq-P4Rk | 3 Reasons Why Your Stutter Isn't Getting Better | three reasons your stutter isn't getting better three reasons why you may feel like you may have made progress at some point and then you fall back down and then you make progress and you fall back down you make progress you fall back down why it's not consistent why you're not seeing real lasting results that stay three main reasons that i've seen over my years of coaching and helping people overcome stuttering and i've also seen in myself in my journey to overcome my stutter as well all right three main main reasons and quickly before we start if you are looking to join a group of people who stutter for completely free and you want to interact with me you can ask me questions and you can come to my live classes completely for free look the link down below in the description and though and there will be a link that will bring you to my facebook group where you can interact with me and all of us and i believe community is essential to get that sense of self-worth back being a person who stutters you most likely don't know a lot of other people who stutter and to be in a community of people who are positive minded and growing and overcoming their stutter as well i can't think of anything better than that so join that group let's start and just before we get going i'm not going to be the expressive version that you've seen a lot today unless i get very passionate about something because i got the worst sunburn of my life a few days ago and anytime i move itch and pain so i'm gonna stay still like a robot while i speak so let's let's get going with the first reason why you're not seeing progress while you're stuck and you're stuttering and you're not seeing progress the first reason is you believe speaking is a more technique based thing you believe you need to add more technique in order to speak more fluently in order to overcome your stutter and that is simply not true any time you like think about this if you've ever golfed before have you ever golfed we've we've had those swings any sport right we've had those swings we've we've had those shots we've had those baskets we've we've had those times where we're just naturally good we're not having to think about it just by default we're hitting that perfect swing we're taking that perfect shot we just feel in the zone are we thinking about our technique are we thinking about our technique are we in our head making sure we're doing every technique right no we have forgotten all that and we're just naturally expressing ourselves how it naturally wants to come out and it's the same thing with speaking is we can already do it fine when you get caught in a stutter and when you have bad moments you you have big big blocks do not run to find a technique do not think oh i didn't do my technique right no it's because you're trying to think too much about technique is the reason why you're getting caught in this is because you're being too analytical and too structural in a process that is natural so forgive the techniques next time you get caught in a block next time you have a hard sentence and you reflect don't think oh i spoke wrong just think there was some type of interference in the way that prevented you from speaking naturally and define what the interference was what the doubt was what the self belief was what the anxiety was why it was there is how you overcome it it's how you overcome and you can speak naturally more often and it just becomes a default i know that makes sense to you let's go on to number two number two is you are viewing your bad days as setbacks all right you are viewing your bad days as setbacks as something that is evidence to why you're not growing that is far from true that is extremely false your bad days can be your best friend for growth bad days are inevitable inevitable all right inevitable no matter where you are in your journey you're gonna have a bad day from time to time you're gonna have a bad week you're gonna have a bad month but if you're doing the the right things it won't be a month it won't be a week it'll be a few days maximum for me my bad days are like an hour now or a conversation or a sentence that i just was in my head about but that's it because i know the process to speak naturally again but i had to go through bad days and bad weeks in order to learn why i'm in this state you cannot overcome your stutter without stuttering you cannot overcome your stutter without going through hard times you must go through the hard times because that's when you truly learn about yourself and truly learn about this the beliefs and the doubts that are holding you back and that are making you feel only a one version of yourself is acceptable and not the other version of yourself not the stuttering version that's not acceptable this version is only lovable and acceptable that's not true so for you to hit those bad days and get put into that that headspace you must be able to learn from these bad days and use these bad days as uh a time for you to build self-trust in you all right like you must be able to not want to speak to somebody you must have the thought of i'm going to stutter every inch of myself tells me to shut up and be quiet and repress but you must be able to overcome that with men with mental grit and you do not get tested in those situations on good days you must go through the bad days and overcome those bad days in order to grow so the fact you're in a bad day right now if you are or a bad week is amazing it's the perfect opportunity to overcome your stutter you needed to go through this as long as you take the right actions and you don't hold back you don't repress you're only going to grow from this so thank this bad day and go and smash it the third thing is you're the the third thing of why your stutter isn't getting better is kind of similar to the first thing where you're focusing on the technique when it's a natural process but the third thing is you're not focusing on the and you're not working on the correct issue to overcome your stutter you have been taught by mainstream social social media by mainstream news by google that speaking without a stutter requires you to focus on your speech requires you to learn a speech technique or requires you to just play tricks in your brain to tap while you talk like you that is not the truth the truth is we can already speak fine and what you must address is the interference in the way that is blocking you from expressing yourself naturally and authentically and the biggest interference that's in the way that you need to address is the fear of being judged and the fear of being rejected that is the biggest interference that causes us to be in our head that causes us to put people on a pedestal that causes us to have nothing but doubt and anxiety and fear while speaking which is only storing tension which is only up our state up our thoughts and making us speak from a place of inauthenticity and not from true naturalness not not from your truth not from your not from your default how you know you can speak but when you're in a state where you're trying to avoid judgment you're trying to avoid getting rejected you're trying to please other people you're trying to prove yourself all because you value people so highly you cannot speak naturally you're in us in a defense mode speaking is not to be done in a defense mode it's to be done in an open mode there's no danger there's no danger if you stutter there's no danger if people judge you and to truly believe that by overcoming the fear of being judged and rejected allows you to speak naturally but until you value the opinions of people you value the opinions what people think of you less you will not see real progress in overcoming your stutter it might last a day in my last two days it might last a month with a little technique that makes your brain feel good but it's not going to really address the root issue of why there's in why there's interference that is stopping you from expressing yourself naturally okay three reasons why you're stuck in overcoming your stutter you're not seeing progress all right was that helpful i think so i think so so if you want more knowledge and how to overcome your stutter and you want to learn actually how to do it then again i i have a free facebook group you can join right now join a community of action takers who are all overcoming their stutter and you can also interact with me and ask me questions so if that's interesting to you look at the closest link down below in the description you can book i mean you can't book you can apply for this group i will look at your uh your questions that you filled out and uh see if you would be a good fit for this group it's completely free and it's nothing but value alright so what are you waiting for if you're an action taker i want you here talk to you soon inside the group | Chase Gillis | UCYV3F6CitJhKDTV56wChjwQ | 2021-12-19 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en |

CNzHSmBd4t4 | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CNzHSmBd4t4 | Retrospective Memories: Tekken (Part II) | thank you now this is a change of location from when we last played three we are in my house now playing four the outskirts of mortal yes in Sauron basically we're gonna be playing four five six tag HD and tag 2 prologue this is the day before Tekken Tag it's Tech and Eve yes Tech and Eve uh unless you're American in which you've had there for like a day in or two it's like three days they're just like yeah um as you can see Glenn is playing uh Tekken 4 at the moment unfortunately because I only have one PS2 controller we've kind of already taken in turns or wherever um but I know that's manageable if the very rare chance I managed to not lose in this then one of you can just go through start off on fireman yes whatever you want to do um right okay so let's start with memories of four then because uh I got really excited for because I played two like so much as a kid and it's on four on the PS2 it's like that we have to get technical God oh my God did you play a lot of it was it like the um yeah I know we mean uh Glenn what was your like memory of four back in the days when PlayStation 2 games cost like 40 quids oh God yeah uh I didn't really know this was coming out apart from the one time I played it in London in arcade and that's how I found out because he was back I was really happy I managed to beat my uncle on that and then like a year later it was like my birthday I can't remember how old it was but I basically wanted foreign I found out to attack him for the same way he's been in uh in our arcade I just saw it it's like wait what's this intro this people have guns wait a minute hang on that looks like kazuya it's just like hang on oh god oh come back can't wait to use it yeah personally speaking a better character than mortogen mainly because he was made by Lee oh yeah there was a reason why they didn't have Mortgage in info right because um because I think I got Tekken four and it's like on seal it looks like the Platinum version um so I wasn't like I was hyped for it but I never got it if you know what I mean it's like but then when I did to get there you know I played loads and stuff and uh I think this is the first Tekken where like I took it really seriously yeah like story wise I was like [ __ ] it's going down yeah it's like three was like fun and a fighting games like oh yeah it has a story but this one's like wait I need to complete the story to see the ending uh two is when the story promptly started again yeah that's because this had like prolonged yeah was that Lee's fighting Stone yeah it is yes but yeah it's uh this felt a bit different attack in three miners more like darker oh Steve yeah before he got his horrible accent the introduction slightly more at some points more Gothic no um yeah yeah see what you mean it is a lot of a darker story as well oh God yeah I love this stage because I think you can like knock people over there for this one as well the ending so wrong look at that watch now oh yeah at the end yeah the ending was really interesting it was a little devil thing and like oh I'm taking off I like how Tekken 5's intros literally Villages yeah probably seconds afterwards and then well I'm assuming all of you watching this aren't gonna consider it a spoiler but and then in five I didn't do many like of the stories I just like played a lot of like just arcade mode but like that is a spoiler you just spoiled how you play because I unlocked a hatch you from playing it rather than from like completely so it was like yeah then I played the story again it's like oh yeah yeah um this is It's a fairly nice looking game I mean even though it's not horrible to look at it's it's best in terms of it's arguably better looking than tag but that's meant to be yeah some people reckon targets I think it looks better at the time yeah no I remember debating it with you I was like no time so who is your favorite character in this Tim wow that's lastly oh yes you don't know about it till you get to the end even though the fighting sounds rather obvious so was yours possibly uh Horan Glenn um still for fighting for wrong yeah but I think Jane was amazing for his hoodie yeah oh yes Jin's hoodies this is probably his most dare I say emote yeah but my favorite character this had my favorite characters even though it was all in being kind of yeah I think mine in this was combat I know it's like yeah he didn't really like have much of it well the story was just like oh right oh wow fight club's about oh well yeah okay yeah that's true um but yeah it's like I know I just loved combat for like his designing this stuff yeah it's uh right we leave it there unless you might love this fan service people oh remember that time when uh he has to say the car is happy oh God I'm sorry if it was fun I'm sorry if it was oh yeah on his ass there we go well this camera recognizes he has a face you're just dancing to him yeah he just dance to it thank you we might as well film this because why not there's one more fight after this week yeah might as well make it worthwhile watching you know ain't got to see the Sun what do you want I always assumed when I first saw the stage like the first time I got to it before he actually came out I thought it'd be the king it was like yeah it's a stadium okay cool maybe this music like tag team I'm really happy with it is it a couple of trailers um it's basically you just like I don't know what to do I've left uh paraphrase it basically that yeah okay oh God here we go you're finally here so what do you want because it doesn't like the sauce I'll take you on right here there's no reason to fight who is our accents Japanese well it's English it doesn't even sound very English either right Harang is Korean yeah he's Korean taken people very good mind you attacking five correct that yeah okay and they actually translate what he's saying yeah that hoodie I would genuinely wear that hoodie and those trousers I love the music transition as well it never did this in any of the game round two it's all wrong cause he has punches and I believe you can run into one of these pillars and kill yourself it's like oh it does loads of damage or something like that oh that would have also finished it with that hour right before I go were there any um extras or Easter eggs or like secrets and Tekken 4 you can think of it's not from miharu if you count the statue stage where it plays old Tekken 2 music besides that Sergeant I don't think anything else was there a technical smooth yeah this is this was the second event did that actually go anywhere because I don't think I played much you have like four stages on the third stage has because he is taking two arcade team in it yeah and he fought because he at the end of this it was quite good but besides that yeah yeah I was gonna say we didn't like unlock anything or um no dude it's a really good ending this I like karang's ending somehow they don't get shots through a car they've like been to the Stormtroopers like school yeah definitely I love Jin and harangues like team upbeat kind of thing here well if you wonder why they just don't walk behind the car let's go yeah yeah look how many bullets are going off behind them correctly I don't know okay well I'll leave it there then unless there's anything in particular good game underrated yeah I I really like Tekken 4 I mean it's not the best Tekken but equally in its own Road it's a good game yeah we are now playing Tekken 5 as you can tell by the stage and devil gin being Chief as usual well yes nice Tim as well actually this is the rendition they made after Tim sang it to them true it's true I pitched it they loved it they used it this may be the garden stage no from here on in it's not there oh what you know the one bit of someone has super harsh this is jinpachi you're killing people from Bad Manners one so anyway right let's go through uh people's memories of five uh foreign more colorful yeah for sort of Fairly plainish but this is very like the graphics and stuff are pretty good I mean I realize you know it's a PS2 game so it's not gonna look amazing but it's pretty good it's good yeah but even no it's like it's one of the best looking ones um my my memory of it was I randomly walked into PC World as my brother once and like real lazy was out and I like remembered I was really like hyped for it for months to say oh it's coming out soon totally forgot so it was on sale and bought it like that day this uh it was a really I really enjoyed this but come on that was like a one frame off look at that one frame yeah I got uh I got really annoyed by gin patchy so I didn't play that much of five um but I did play a lot of dark Resurrection but he's in that as well that's it makes all sense well no but in dark Resurrection he was Pharaoh he was nerfed a bit I thought he was anyway because like in this one he's a lot harder than uh like dark Resurrection uh you I think James bought it off you that he gives me oh yeah mine is literally down in that so don't know what direction you have is mine I think so that's nice beer um dark Resurrection spent so long on um I remember dark Resurrection had a weird mode you could like buy their movies oh yeah if you just couldn't be asking us through it but like I don't know I didn't like that it was like no I don't think I've even did nothing what the hell is he doing here he's turning into gorilla devil June mom oh [ __ ] son very uh chaos ass so who is your favorite character do I need to ask Lynn do I need to ask you your favorite character in this was uh Devil's gym yes uh Tim yeah yeah of course I like most characters one you know I think I got pretty into like Mard duck in this weirdly yeah we love you um but like King as well kind of like I really picked up my king play uh there was someone else who's better with that you know yeah I'm trying to think of um who else there was but I know I'm Fang Fang I loved Fang I could gain too much yeah he's all right he was I I liked him because like if you learned a few like stances and stuff like he was really powerful and he could do it from the standing position you didn't have to like run for wood and stuff but uh yeah so um Rara extra features there was the museum history mode thingy with Tekken one two and three oh yeah the Devil Within Adventure Mode thing yeah I I quite liked it mix yeah exactly then um in fact after this can we just go on the bus station at all what else was there um trying to think um there's a person with the ranking system oh yeah the ranking was like done uh customization obviously oh yeah it's depending with money at all actually yeah yeah but I'm looking at tattoo and Tekken 6 though you've seen how far I've expanded yeah it's impressive really because if I even introduced a lot of things to the series um you know five of the last one was a decent pack of four styles hmm because I didn't really like I don't like how six relied on it to get money and they reloading it unlike items as well really pissed me off because it went from looking good you make a guy look [ __ ] just making powerful yeah it's um oh I remember I really hated that right time two they're slots it's not just press a button this is costume it's just you want that costume select that one was in like I think you press one of the buttons selection sure that you can put like 10 slots you pick one oh and yeah oh Laura so you can like make it there's 10 different variations yeah so you don't like press a button hope you pick the right button for that customization okay when I press X hoping oh I hope I get Devil's conversation no yeah it's like 10 slots and you see you can see what one you can press that one yeah if we make sense if we skip this no we'll chill a bit too that's pretty much over okay we'll show a bit of Devil Within is the last checking in I probably started to the credit score because music's awesome but tag two might be the beginning hmm we do others as well since the beginning so I'm here okay beer um the roster as well is a lot bigger than this and foot and we're back title screen no listen this is this you can make a Cloverfield kind of thing it's too easy on this I'm not very good that's what I said listen to this music this is going in my Tekken Tunes yeah yes this was the Gin scented adventure mode of coolness yes do you get money from this uh I can't remember I think so I can't remember maybe a little bit I think didn't you get like bonuses or something yeah especially quite a lot of them actually no I didn't figure that out for ages and stopped playing because I couldn't get through the floor then one day just randomly realized wait you can do crumbs hang on yeah it's like they work so it's a fairly decent like Adventure mode in itself really without being anything to attack and not so many mini games yeah anyway we'll leave it here unless anyone has any other things to say with Tekken 5. good comeback well also I need to find out if the whole Anna Lee thing is Canon I'll have to do that after this all right yes maybe anyway we'll leave it there for now do something cool then I kind of can't I am yet uh um this is uh Tekken six no we're playing random random random I know okay um okay well I don't have any memories of this because when we have a PSP and I paid that for like five minutes right it's okay so Tim doesn't have very fond memories from when he was 10 or anything when I was 10 and this game wasn't even in development yeah good times um yeah Glenn your memories of this uh I remember being extremely gutted because play.com was screwed up in my order no so I ended up using shock tube for the first time ever noticed they had the game in stock and I ended up getting the game like oh my God so that was like two days before the Europeans don't forget it and I basically played a hell out of it let's see if it wasn't for Elisa I would have got scenario account being done like the same thing I see um well my memory was just I think like [ __ ] I can't even remember where he booked it I think he was in the game I don't think I pre-ordered it or anything I just like no for Christmas that's it I want to do it for Christmas so I got it um I did story mode but that's about it really like um you know the campaign mode that was about it I didn't play much arcade to be honest I didn't even know what other PSP versions when I saw in the shop yeah wow all the time's all around okay let me actually play some more Tekken six so now it's just like no we're now Nina oh yes hidden Retreat the only stage you can get on random have you seen a state before Tim nope you're gonna love it hidden Retreat um I don't think I have either is it like a retreat that's hidden haha oh we're fighting in Wheels are you

Eqnw-THPDZg | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eqnw-THPDZg | Trans Insurrectionist Calls on Marjorie Greene to Help Her Avoid Going to a Men's Prison | it's been about two and a half years since the January 6th Capital Insurrection and many of the individuals who tried to overthrow the US government have since had to face the music that includes individuals like Richard Barnett who's the guy that was photographed with his feet on Nancy Pelosi's desk he was sentenced to over four years in prison now there's also Stuart Rhodes the founder of The Oath Keepers who was sentenced to 18 years for seditious conspiracy and of course there is Jacob chancelly AKA The Q Anon Shaman who served about 27 months of his 41-month sentence but was released early now those are just some of the more recognizable people involved in the capital Insurrection but there were many many more people who participated and have since been convicted Politico reports more than 1033 of the rioters have been arrested with approximately 485 Federal defendants receiving sentences about 277 defendants have been sentenced to time Behind Bars and roughly 113 defendants have been sentenced to a period of home detention so lots of people have been held accountable for their actions on January 6th one of the Lesser known insurrectionists however is Jessica Watkins the woman pictured behind me she's an army veteran and Oath Keepers member who was sentenced to eight and a half years in prison and her story is very unique Politico continues Watkins attorney said that the trauma and rejection from her friends and family due to her being transgender was what pushed her to be dragged into conspiracy theories around the 2020 election and to eventually take part in the riots so it's interesting because situations often lead people to radicalization right covid-19 that time you know at home during self-quarantine that's how a lot of people got involved in Q Anon but this lady got involved in I guess election denialism because she didn't know how to process her family rejecting her for being trans so that's where she found some sort of comfort or identity at least that's what her attorneys say now during her trial she tearfully explained how she struggled with her identity as a trans woman while she was in the military and she was in the military during the donasto until era now for those of you who don't know don't ask don't tell was a policy that meant that any lgbtq plus person who came out while they were in the military was dishonorably discharged but ironically she went on to Riot for a president that banned trans people from participating in the military so it's certainly I guess we'll say interesting that in response to her being rejected by her family she got involved with a group of people who aren't necessarily the most welcoming when it comes to lgbtq plus people I mean maybe they weren't aware that she's trans maybe they didn't care because they had a common cause of installing Trump as president but either way that's her defense right but putting aside her identity for a moment she wasn't just another participant in the Insurrection she was a leader in fact as CNN explains at trial prosecutors showed evidence that Watkins founded and led a small militia in Ohio and mobilized her group in coordination with The Oath Keepers to Washington DC on January 6th Watkins and her counterparts ultimately marched in tactical gear to the capital and encouraged other Riders to push past police outside the Senate chamber quote I was just another idiot running around the hallway Watkins told the court before the sentence was handed down but idiots are responsible and today you are going to hold this idiot responsible and since she took full responsibility and shared her story of being transgender in the military with the judge the judge was even moved and said that anyone who heard her story and listened to her speak would also be moved but the judge also noted that she wasn't necessarily remorseful per se at first so there was a phone call that she had from Jill where she allegedly mocked Capitol police officers that were on duty on that day saying boohoo in response to them getting PTSD from the capital Insurrection now fast forward to today and she still describes herself as a political prisoner incarcerated for exercising Her First Amendment rights and that's at least what it says in her Twitter bio which is run by her husband and close friend now they've been posting screenshots of texts that she sends them from jail through the getting out app and in her Twitter debut on July 21st of this year she claimed that she did what she did to quote defend free and fair elections she also has since condemned Trump's indictment and attacked Jack Smith and she even defended transphobes like Riley Gaines while signaling support for a ban on trans women in sports and embarrassingly she also apologized to CIS women for possibly making them uncomfortable in locker rooms so I mean it's all come full circle right she joined this movement due to transphobic rejection only to eventually throw her own Community under the bus in a pathetic attempt to be the pick me for right Wingers and insurrectionists oh and she also attacked Rhino Republicans and hinted at being an anti-vaxxer as well so uh in other words she's still about that and is a full-blown magachud till this day who seemingly said what she needed to say at the trial to Garner sympathy so this isn't necessarily the Redemption Arc that I was hoping for but despite her idiocy politically she's shedding some light on a really important issue one that is unique to trans people who are incarcerated for example on July 23rd she tweeted I transitioned to female 20 years ago do I look like I belong in a Men's prison the Bureau of Prisons under the Biden Administration listed me as male on documentation for the first time in nearly two decades and she's made this post multiple times with different pictures of herself showing that her sex is listed as male and she's currently serving in a men's jail and is at risk of being transported to a Men's prison and on top of that she's being denied crucial medical care that she needs and in response she shared this call to action where she encourages her followers to call the Federal Bureau of Prisons in order to urge them to not put her in a Men's prison against the judge's orders and as you can see she also shares Matt Gates and Marjorie Green's numbers in hopes that they take action on her behalf but we'll come back to that in a moment and she also shared the contact information for the U.S Marshal's office in hopes that people will call and pressure them to help her get the medical care that she needs for a potential cancerous growth that she needs to have removed now these are very serious issues and we'll talk about the broader issues that inmates and trans inmates in particular deal with when they are incarcerated but first we have to address the elephant in the room that is her tagging Matt Gates and Marjorie Taylor green now I think we all know why she did it these are two lawmakers who are insurrectionists themselves Marjorie Taylor Green in particular always refers to uh January 6 insurrectionists as political prisoners so I mean it makes sense that an insurrectionist would want to get their attention in order to get support but I mean on the other hand these are two of the most vicious transphobes in Congress especially Marjorie Taylor green who don't view her as an equal despite her status as an insurrectionist this is what Marjorie Taylor green wrote in response to the legislation introduced by pramila jayapal that would give trans people more legal protections so she dismissed it as mentally unstable wokeness and called it the most insane piece of legislation she's ever seen she also suggests tested that it would lead to quote trans Tifa riots and rejected the idea of a ban on discrimination based on gender identity writing that means trans become a protected class and women's rights are totally and completely annihilated men pretending to be women would not just be equal to women in all areas they would be preferred and above all women essentially replacing women now in the very next sentence she pointed out how the legislation would improve conditions for Trans inmates and yeah that's pretty relevant to Jessica here now while Matt Gates doesn't talk about trans people as much he's still deeply bigoted he claimed in 2019 that the equality act would allow Trump to declare himself the first female president which proves how ignorant he is when it comes to trans people and what it means to be a trans woman so I'm assuming that Jessica is hoping that her being an insurrectionist will I guess cancel out her identity as a trans woman to Marjorie and Matt and get them to see her as the woman that she is to actually get them to see her Humanity despite her being a trans person and them dehumanizing trans people but unfortunately that's wishful thinking because Jessica's core problem here requires recognition that she is indeed a trans woman and Marjorie Taylor green is not willing to do that because every single thing that she's done has been in service of transphobia and in service of delegitimizing trans people and their very existence but here's the thing Jessica is a woman and since she's a woman she should serve her time in a women's prison like other female inmates get to but that's why Marjorie Taylor green isn't going to advocate for her because she fundamentally rejects the idea that trans women are women and she doesn't think that they are valid so this is an insurrectionist issue to Marjorie Taylor green this is an issue that uniquely affects trans inmates and if Marjorie Taylor green were to advocate for Jessica in this instance then she's bringing attention to an issue of about how trans people are treated in general and this is indeed an important issue where trans inmates are dehumanized now as NBC news reports based on the available records obtained from 45 States just 13 transgender women are housed with women and two transgender men are housed with men they're referring to inmates in Texas which has one of the largest incarcerated populations in the country none of the 980 transgender prisoners live in gender affirming housing the state's 891 transgender women are housed with men and its 89 men are housed with women Pennsylvania's 214 transgender prisoners are all incarcerated according to their sex assigned at Birth as are Wisconsin's 173 transgender prisoners these housing decisions can have dire consequences 35 percent of transgender people who had spent time in prison in the previous year reported being sexually assaulted by staff or fellow prisoners according to a 2015 report by the Department of Justice Advocates say that the figure for transsexual assaults is likely an undercount because sexual assaults are underreported many of the current and former transgender prisoners said guards dismissed their reports or retaliated against them for reporting transgender prisoners are also unable to express their gender in the most basic ways including being called by a name that reflects who they are they said in response to questions some State Prison Representatives said they only moved transgender prisoners if the prisoners had received gender confirmation surgery regardless of their housing preferences others said that they review prisoners transfer requests on a case-by-case basis as required by law most said they are fully compliant with federal law on housing transgender prisoners but here's the thing they're not complying with the law prison rape elimination act went into effect in 2012 and that law requires prisons to regularly interview trans inmates every six months and ask them where they feel safest and they also have to hear their concerns and they're supposed to take them into effect and even consider if there are threats to these trans inmates and if they violate this law they risk losing five percent in federal funding the problem with the law is that it relies on the discretion of Prisons ultimately and even if a trans woman for example expresses that she fears violence if she's placed with male prisoners they can just choose to disagree and place her with men and out of the 4890 transgender State prisoners that NBC News was able to track in 2020 15 were housed with inmates who shared their gender just 15 meaning that the overwhelming majority of trans inmates are housed with prisoners of the opposite gender so this issue is systemic Jessica is not the only transgender inmate to experience discrimination in this form within the prison system and you might think well I mean she's a trump supporting insurrectionist so who cares about her but let me tell you why that's wrong first of all all human beings deserve dignity including inmates and Jessica is serving her time just like all the other insurrectionists who are convicted but because she's trans she risks being placed in a population that makes her vulnerable to rape and violence unlike the CIS insurrectionists like Stuart Rhodes or Richard Barnett so the question is why should she endure a harsher punishment specifically because she's trans the answer is she shouldn't it's extremely unfair so I mean you can disagree with her politics and find her sentence Justified as I do but she shouldn't have to face a steeper penalty for simply being trans and finally if we're okay with one trans person's gender identity being invalidated because of her disgusting political views and actions then we're communicating to all of our trans friends and family members that we think that someone's gender identity is Up For Debate and should be violated if the trans person in question is bad but I mean think of the message that that sends to trans people it tells them that you were never really a true Ally or that your support is conditional on them being a good person but I mean if you sour on them then you suddenly have permission to reject their identity that's not okay that's not the way that being an ally works lgbtq plus people like all people can be shitty people they can be mean they can even be insurrectionists as we've learned but I mean being a bad person shouldn't make us okay with discriminating Nation against someone on the basis of their immutable characteristics I think that making fun of Jessica's insane political views is fair game right and it's fine to point out that she is very clearly one of the people who uh voted for the leopards eating people's faces party and then never thought that the leopards would eat her face but at the end of the day this isn't a moral dilemma to me in the same way that it would be for someone like Marjorie Taylor green trans women are women therefore Jessica shouldn't be placed in a Men's prison she should be in a women's prison where she belongs period all trans inmates should receive fair treatment but unfortunately for Jessica Marjorie Taylor green isn't coming to the rescue for her anytime soon because supporting Jessica would require her to violate her anti-trans disposition but with that being said Republicans are also hypocritical so I'd be happy if Marjorie green proved me wrong but unfortunately for Jessica I just don't think that that's going to be the case it is necessary to push Trans on the kid get

skF_R5bIYHE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skF_R5bIYHE | Office Hours: Writing Math and Science Textbooks | Hello everyone and welcome to Office Hours, I'm Apurva from the Rebus Community. And I'm very excited for our session today. I am joined by a few representatives from the Open Education Network, I have Karen Lauritsen who's my co-host, Barb Thees and Craig Sandler. I will quickly mention that Rebus Community, for those of you who don't know, is a charity that is based in Canada. We offer programs and resources to support open publishing efforts, and we're really excited to hear from three people who have been involved in various different kinds of publishing initiatives today. We're going to be talking about writing math and science textbooks. And I'll turn it over to Karen to tell you a little bit more about our topic for today, and our guests. Thank you, Apurva, and hello everyone, it's great to be here with you. I am Karen Lauritsen, I'm publishing director with the Open Education Network. We are a community of professionals who are working to make education more open. And as Apurva mentioned, today we're going to talk about creating math and science textbooks. If this is your first time at Office Hours, I'll introduce you to the format. We have three guests who are here, they will each speak for around five minutes, and then we'll really look to you for questions and conversation. We want to know what you need to know. So, you'll have an opportunity to unmute or post your questions in chat, whichever works best for you. I will also go ahead and put a link to a form in the chat shortly, inviting you to tell us what you want to talk about at future Office Hours sessions. So, help us drive these conversations. So, without further ado, I will introduce our three guests, we are joined by Oscar Levin, he is associate professor school of mathematical sciences at the University of Northern Colorado. We're also joined by Amy Balija, assistant professor organic chemistry at Radford University. And we're also joined by Delmar Larsen, who is professor in the department of chemistry at the University of California Davis. He's also the founder and director of the LibreTexts project. So, we will start by turning things over to Oscar. Thank you, and thanks for the invitation to be here, this is very exciting. I got into OER stuff my very first year at the University of Northern Colorado, I taught a discrete math class. And I wasn't in love with the textbook, it was just basically a series of lecture notes and worksheets that the professor had asked Wiley custom printing to spiral bound for him, and then was being sold by the bookstore for $70 for this maybe 150-page photocopy. I thought I could probably do better, so I decided to write my own stuff. And I was just going to do that, but then I heard about the OER initiatives and how people were sort of self-publishing books as a way to disseminate their work. And also, to make them look nice. So, I spent a few years turning it in a book, this is the current website for it. It started as entirely done in LaTeX, which worked fine. But then, I heard about PreTeXt, which at that point was called Math Book XML. And this is a markup language kind of similar to LaTeX but it's actually written in XML which perhaps is a little bit intimidating, at least initially. But it produces really nice output formats, so I wanted to show you a few of the features that I really like about it and talk a little bit about why I think having this sort of source format of a math textbook is valuable. So, this is a page from my book. And you can see that I think the layout is very nice, this is all generated automatically from the XML code, if you're familiar with LaTeX it's the same sort of process. You write the markup in just plain text, and then you compile it into various output formats. And this is just the output format for HTML. You can also compile PreTeXt into LaTeX and then into PDF, if you create physical copies of it. In addition to the nice layout, the nice math that is done in MathJax, which is very good for screen readers, a lot of attention paid to accessibility, the headings are the right thing for example. You can tab through this in a meaningful way, if you have a screen reader. We have nice features like the solutions to examples being hidden and then revealed when you click on it, then hidden again. You have things like in the exercises you have different types of elements, so you have the pretty blue boxes that you can get. The exercises again, you have solutions that are hidden by default. You can also put answers and then have them in the back of the book, but that's all done automatically for you. So, in the source that you write, you put the statement of the exercise and the solution right next to each other, and then you can tell PreTeXt to compile it so that those go in the back of the book. Or maybe are not included at all in the final output. My book also has some WeBWorK questions, so you have some interactivity there, you can think what this should be, N squared, I can check my answers, that's not correct. I didn't think at all about what that might be. So, we have lots of those features. You get an index automatically, you just tag in the source what things should be in the index. And this is an example of a situation where the open book is probably better than a physical textbook that you would get. You want to know what ancestor meant? Well, there's the paragraph where that's defined, and you can get to that by just clicking on this and you don't have to jump back to the page and search for where on the page is that, for example. You can click on in context, and then it will navigate you to that spot in the correct part of the textbook. This is an Abstract Algebra textbook that I'm teaching out of right now, by Tom Judson. I wanted to point out these cross links here, in example 3.9 he uses Proposition 3.4 and if you were a math textbook, well what's Proposition 3.4? If you click on it, it'll have Proposition 3.4 right there for you. In fact, it even has the proof of it there which you can also expand, for example. This textbook is especially nice, because it has Sage embedded inside the textbook, so Sage is an open-source competitor to MATHLAB or Mathematica. We can have code specifically ready for the students and then they can just evaluate it and they can modify the code too. So, I want this to be entered as nine, I could do that and then I get a different output there. I know some of you are interested in graphics, this is the mathematics section here, let's see. I know I'm short on time here. Let me show you some of the graphics that we can get. So, this graphic which I can drag around here just by clicking on it and moving my mouse, this was created in Asymptote inside the source of the textbook and you just put in a figure command, and then you just write the Asymptote code. 10 lines of Asymptote code, directly in your source. So, this way if someone else wanted to take your textbook and modify it, they could modify the source easily. You get a slightly different image in their version of the textbook, if they would like. You can put interactive elements in the textbook. This might take a long time to load. Things authored in JavaScript, you can link in specific JavaScript. You can get GeoGebra applets embedded. In this case, there's even a little calculator that you can pop up. I think this is set up to be a GeoGebra calculator, it'll pop up here in a second. So, you could use a GeoGebra calculator directly in your textbook. So, there are lots of nice things about this in terms of the output format. The input I think is perhaps a little intimidating because you have to write XML. I should say and I should have made this clear at the beginning, I did not invent PreTeXt, I've done very little with PreTeXt, I've just used it. I have worked a little bit to try to make PreTeXt easier for people to use. So, if you use visual studio code, for instance, I have a plugin that I wrote that allows you to get a lot of the messy markup structure much easier. You can just expand it with some basic shortcuts. So, the source can be intimidating, but I think having the source and the markup available and editable is very useful. You can take individual parts of one textbook and move it into another textbook, include it in different textbooks. And you can do that all at the source level, then the output looks very seamless and consistent. So, that's my pitch, I know I'm out of time, I'd be happy to answer questions later, but thanks for listening. Thanks, Oscar for walking us through you PreTeXt textbook. I will now turn things over to Amy to describe her project. Okay, thank you, Karen. So, I'm Amy Balija and I am again, at Radford University. And this is actually my first time at Office Hours. So, it's exciting to hear all about the cool things that are going on. And I'm going to go a little bit different, it sounds both my colleagues here are talking more about textbooks, but we need to also look at other things like the laboratory, especially in the sciences. In the sciences one of the things that are big for us is to write laboratory reports to record our information down. And so, at my institution, one of the things I started noticing with our students is they just could not afford your typical lab notebook, it's just essentially a spiral bound notebook. And initially how I got into this, because I didn't really know anything about OER when I first started, I got an internal grant for a program called LabArchives. And essentially, it's an electronic laboratory notebook, where the students would be able to write down information in their computer that of course most students have or at least they have like me my cellphone right there, sitting there. And that they could go and record that information and I could look at that. Problem is LabArchives cost $20 per student. And it's about the same price as what I would pay on the paper copy. And so, therefore, what I decided to do was the Virginia Library Association has something called the VIVA Grant. So, anybody who's in Virginia can do this. And what they have is they've set aside money for people to be able to adopt, adapt, or create OERs. And so, I as well as two colleagues, one in the biology department, another one in chemistry came together and we decided to go with a program called eLabFTW. And it's kind of exciting I can share the screen so you can get an idea of it. And there's some electronic open source notebooks available, this is the one we decided on, which is eLabFTW. This is actually done through somebody in Paris. And he keeps it updated, and what's great is that everybody gets a chance, you can download this, you can modify it any way you want, and then he encourages you to actually bring it back up to his website. And so, we can continue to get these updates and changes of the different programs. And so, the idea for this system if you want to see this here is I've got to move my little screen over. So, this is an example of the electronic notebook. And what's so great about this electronic notebook is one, students can use it on their PC, their Macs, their iPads, their phones, pretty much anywhere you want. So, they can have it at all times. Another great advantage for this type of system, it's free for the students. And how I've set this up is that to keep security because you can start to see, I am actually using this also in my research labs as well, is on my local network. So, I've worked with IT to be able to put that on the network, it's on a single sign in system, so my students don't have to worry about trying to go through something, or somebody trying to go into our system accidentally. And so, I'll bring it down to one of the things that we've done. So, this was a chemical reaction, and what my students can do is I have a template all ready for them. And they can come in, and they can fill this information in. So, we have amounts, milligrams, millimoles, things of that nature. And I've indicated what I want them to be able to write down. And then, they're writing their procedures. We might have some conclusions, my students can put in pictures, and so you can put the mathematical equations, you can type that in, it's a little bit more time consuming, but students can upload pictures, they can upload files, Excel files, pretty much almost anything they want. They can draw chemical structures on this program for people who are interested in chemical structures. And at the same point, they can comment or I can comment on their work, and I can allow sharing between students. So, I can control all of this information, so it's a great collaborative effect, it's also getting our students prepared for the field, not just in chemistry or biology, but whether they're going to the pre-med track, whether going into jobs, or anything like that. They need to understand the technology. So, I can talk more about this, but I notice that I'm also out of time. But I appreciate you guys listening. Thanks, Amy. We appreciate you walking us through the electronic notebook. And now, over to you, Delmar. Thank you. Okay. It's difficult for me to figure out what to talk about. So, I wear multiple hats. So, I'm a chemist, which means obviously I teach chemistry. I am the founder and the director of the LibreTexts project. And if you googled anything in anything, you come across our site. So, we just reached 500 billion page views last week. That's with a B. And we have approximately 1 million pages per day and we currently have 4 millenia of student reading. And we're growing hyper exponentially right now. But also as an instructor, I not just facilitate and build OER but I also use it in the classroom, which means that I serve a different beast than many of the other directors out there. And then, I'm also co-director of an OER program at my campus, being a large University of California campus is going to start to expand into the greater infrastructure in California. So, I'm excited about that. So, I figure that my take was supposed to be talking about my experience in building a book. Now, the thing is I've built a handful of books, used in a variety of my classes. In fact, five years ago, six years ago when I got back from sabbatical, I told my chair that I was never going to be using a commercial book again in any of my classes. And that basically made my life really painful for several years, as I needed to do what I refer to as riding the wave. Which was building the book at the same time that I'm using the book, which is an unbelievably painful process, at least the first time that you're doing it. So, let me mention just the LibreTexts, one slide on the LibreTexts and then I will transition into my experience off of that. So, the LibreTexts project is actually part of a greater ecosystem that I refer to as the LibreVerse. And it has a core content of libraries, which are based around a wiki-based technology that we then augment with a variety of different features, in fact most of the features that Oscar mentioned we have available. And a few of the features that we don't have that PreTeXt has, which I really like their technology, we are going to come out soon off that. But we have this ancillary set of components that are part of our LibreVerse including a homework system, running it summatively involving either WeBWorK or IMathAS, which basically OHMs technology from Lumen or MyOpenMath. With H5P and such in a more summative approach. We have a Jupyter notebook system which lets us run 30 different languages of executable code bound into our text. Including Sage Math, which Oscar mentioned but Python, R, Octave and a handful of other languages, most of which I've never heard of before, to be honest. We have the ability to store a range of JavaScript servers, learning analytics. We have a bot server in order to go through the content in order to update the content in the libraries based off of current or new accessibility requirements, forms and a few other things off of that. And I could talk for a very long time, in fact right now I'm in the middle of a Libre Fest which is our meeting that we're doing this quarter off of that. So, let me jump into my class I'm teaching right now, which is my quantum mechanics class. So, the key point that I think we all agree on here is that the textbook of the future involves technology and it needs to bring in advanced features in order to be able to enable that. And I use my textbook quote unquote as an integration between a textbook and a learning management system, where I have a component that's an agenda that students can go to in order to identify what they need to do and read off of that. I have my textbook here, I have lectures and I have worksheets. And this is for example the textbook that I have created, I could take it, spit out in PDFs and physical copies and a variety of other formats off of that. So, for example, the Schrodinger equation particle in the box you can click to it and go through it. It has full searching capabilities and interactivities and we've been going through and manipulating the figures to be SVG, so they're fully vectorized and scalable and such like that. But then, you want to be able to do some advanced features, so this is executable code for particle in a box. So, this is running Python, which I can then engage in a more Socratic investigative approach where I have questions and students can come in and the kernel died out, so it's going to take a few seconds in order to pull up the kernel, because it's a massive infrastructure and activity. And I probably didn't do it in the right order, so I would need to refresh it. We can also embed interactive code, this right here is a particle in a two-dimensional box, I'm getting very quantum mechanical, where you can change quantum numbers and you can see the sync up between the wave function and the learning thing. This is using CalcPlot3D, which is a different technology than what was discussed in Oscar's talk, but it has similar features off of that. We bring these things all together as learning objects, so they can go into a repository in order to identify the content. Pick and choose and build your textbook as needed. The last thing I'll mention is the homework system, this is the homework system, I'm logging in as a student because if I log in as an instructor, you'd see names, and that's a violation of FERPA and such like that. So, this is the homework system that essentially acts as an attraction layer that we use different technologies behind it. So, we have MyOpenMath, WeBWorK and H5P and there are other technologies that will be embedded into it. And the idea is that each one of these technologies has its own unique implementation, its own grade book, its own LMS and some of them are painful, some are poorer developed than other ones. Some are actually not even fully accessible, like most of H5P examples don't meet accessibility requirements in California and other things. And other technologies come out here, so what we do is we essentially gut everything, have a central grade book that's able to use different technologies as needed. And it's the same technology. So, as an instructor, you have the same interface that you work with as a student you have the same interface, irrespective of the technology you use. So, in other words, you pick the technology, you select the technology that's useful for the specific question that you want to use, and you don't need to worry about the complexities of using one versus the other. Obviously, there are issues making those problems, which is a very technology dependent system, but this provides a centralized infrastructure in order to facilitate its adoption, adaption. It runs summatively, we can bind them into our pages, in this case here we're independent or outside of it. And then, you can go into this is an H5P problem that's embedded into it. These are largely open-ended questions, because we both can grade them online but also provide the opportunity for more advanced questions that you really can't do automatically. But I wanted to implement it into our system, so that students can upload answers, keys and start to grade off of that. So, I will end, I'm sure that was a few minutes than I needed to talk about, and I can certainly into any of these discussions as they do. Thank you. Thank you, Delmar, and thanks to our three guests. So, this is when we turn things over to the 35 or so of you who are here with us on the call. Please feel free to unmute or post a question in the chat. While you do that, I'll get things going and ask of the three of you, have you had conversations with your colleagues or others who might be interested in OER and if so, how do you pitch or explain the tools that you use in your classroom? Or how do you talk about that with your colleagues as something they might want to explore? Okay, so yes, they definitely know. So, we have here, we got an HHMI grant to work with trying to give more accessibility to our students working on more students being able to feel welcome within it. And so, this is something that I talk about a lot with faculty, they're involved in that, and this is your math, science classes and things like that. I think they are excited, they're still waiting on what's going on here. But whether I've done this or I've been working with I do still use a traditional textbook, but I have dramatically cut the cost of that textbook for these students now. So, now it's more of a low OER rather than no cost. And so, yeah, the conversation is very, they're more curious than anything else and they're cautious at this point. But I think it's positive. Thanks, Amy. Our department is very pro OER in general. In fact, the math department just won the State of Colorado zero textbook challenge award for this year, the first time it was offered. So, we do a lot of stuff. But I think that it started because of a few people who thought that it was a good idea from mostly a cost saving perspective, right? We see our students struggling with the decision of whether to buy a textbook or buy food that week. And that's not a good idea to make them make that choice. And then, students don't buy the textbook, or even if it's a cheap textbook they can't get hold of it right away, then they're behind. So, those kinds of issues were really a good way to sell try an OER textbook. And then, showing them that there are really good ones out there, that are better perhaps than the commercial counterparts, even, I think is a good way get people to look into them. Delmar, sure, I invite you to speak to that, and then, also there's a question from Stephen Bell in the chat asking what Adapt means? He hasn't noticed that before. Yeah, it's still new. In answer to buying in, there is no one successful buy in mechanism as probably everyone on here knows. The different clientele, different colleagues have a different reception associated with that. I would be lying if I said that my colleagues in my department are overly receptive to OER, which is not the case. So, it's an uphill battle that I've had for a long period of time. And I expect it to be an uphill battle largely in large R1 institutions, where their priorities are oftentimes focused at least not necessarily exclusively, but certainly significantly toward research rather than education. So, in order to answer that question, that's a multi-hour thing to do. The guiding principle behind how we operate is that we have a team of undergraduate students, or at least a guiding principle, that are involved in what we call harvesting, which is bringing in existing content that we then update and augment and improve as needed. But those students also provide an opportunity in order to do let's call it grunt work activities for faculty. So, when a faculty has an interest and says, "Well, I want to do it, but it takes too much time." Then, I say, "That's fine, here is a student and that student will do as much of the grunt work as possible in order to move it forward." So, the idea in order to make this thing work on our level is to remove as much pain as possible if we're doing that. And that requires building an infrastructure that's easy to use, easy to manipulate, easy to find the content. And so, that the students don't have to do that. The next step is to get buy in at the dean level in order to provide top-down encouragement for that. And some deans are more enlightened than other deans in OER in order to pursue that. But we're slowly making progress on my campus. And we saved millions of dollars so far just on our campus alone, but it's such a large campus, we have lots of opportunity for expanding. There was another question, what was the other question? I'm sorry. Adapt? Adapt. So, Adapt is a project that's supported by the State of California, we got the grant at the start of summer, and we've had the intent in order to build a homework system for a long time. In fact, it was part of this grant that we were seeking from the Department of Education two years ago, but we were slowly moving forward because we didn't want to just replicate the wheel. We can bring up WeBWorK and run it or bring up iMath and run it exclusively. We wanted something far more powerful, more flexible, in order to handle the future rather than the present. So, that took a little bit of time. This grant that we received was designed in order to do two things, is to build a homework system that introduces adaptive learning into it, that's freely available for students. So, we have an infrastructure which I didn't show, that we can build learning trees. So, we can start to identify assessments, remediation nodes, whether they happen to be text or video or even Socratic interactive systems. And start to build an infrastructure you can think of it simplistically as a choose your own adventure story that basically follows through the needs of the students based on their responses off of that. And that's available now, we're four, five months into it, and we already started testing out in my quantum mechanics class. The second thing which is exceedingly important and we're very excited about is to start to implement culturally responsive pedagogy into the infrastructure that we've put into here. So, you can start to provide contexts, so when you have videos not every video is an old white guy talking about science, which is invariably almost everything that's involved in science. So, start to bring in the greater context of marginalized scientists that have been marginalized because of their gender or their race or their ethnicity, nationality or even their sexual proclivities. And start to try to realign the homework system, we're going to then fold that back into the textbook system, so you have this thing. But you need to do it so that it doesn't get in the way and it's not contrived. And a lot of the things are just largely contrived stuff that many faculty just throw away from the textbooks because it gets in the way of what we're trying to do as a scientist, obviously in sociology books it's a different story. So, the idea is to find the right mix of trying to introduce it, but not make it so students and faculty say, "No way Jose." So, that culturally responsive component is being baked into our system. So, for example, when you have a question that focuses on PH dependent solubility of lead, if you're not up on it, that's a common ion effect system. I'm not going to switch into a lecture. But that's particularly important when you want to talk about what's going on in Flint, Michigan and the minority population that's adversely affected, because they've dumped a massive amount of lead into the pipes because of the PH of that, politics aside. So, you can start to provide lots of context off of that with these problems. If you do it right so it's not getting in the way, I think we can start to augment agency, self-efficacy, and hope to try to reduce this leaky pipeline that we have of minorities, as they start from undergraduate school to the time that they actually become professors or professional individuals. That's Adapt, you can contact me, I can certainly tell you more about it. Thanks, Delmar. Also, a question from Stephen was about whether or not students are at all interested in print versions of these resources that any of the three of you have created and provided? And if so, are they available and how do students get their hands on print? I think Oscar was commenting on that. Yeah, if you can create a PDF version, you can self-publish it through a variety of print on demand services. I use Amazon's Kindle Direct publishing and it sells on Amazon for $14.50. Students can have a physical copy of it, some of them like that. My book though doesn't use a lot of the interactive features. One thing you can put in these books is you could put a YouTube clip of you doing an example right in the textbook, which is fantastic. But then, what I don't know, and I still need to figure out is how do you write a textbook that has that but it is still valuable as a print textbook that some students want? So, that neither really has an advantage or is missing out on features. I just don't know the right way to do that. You're not alone. So, my answer to that question is how we do it. So, when we have the videos and we spin up a PDF of those videos, we put a QR code on top of those videos, so you can actually scan it in in order to do it. But you're right. The complexities associated with multi-modal typesetting and distribution is exceedingly painful in order to be able to deal with that because of interactions. And you've got to deal with that with some smart ways in order to do that. Let me mention something about our system. Any book that's put into our system, whether it's constructed by authors directly on it, or that we've integrated it in from existing systems, and we have an older version of Oscar's book, and we want to get the newer version. And we have an importer set up for PreTeXt we just haven't implemented it, because everything, I can blame Covid, can't I? Is that good enough? So, when that book is compiled, when it's ready to go, we have a range of outputs. PDFs, common cartridges for embedding a learning management system, but more importantly, any book that we put into here goes into our automatic bookstore which actually facilitates purchasing a physical book of that. And that happens directly, and this is my internet is slow or something's slow here. So, you can get a physical copy of your book, for example, here's my quantum mechanics book that I have here. And this one here costs $10. And this book cost is too big for Lulu Express and we need to be able to expand it. So, any book that for example 90% of Open Library has integrated, at least the links go out to the resources. It's integrated within our platform, so you can come in and you can get a PDF of that. And it's all rendered and typeset in a variety of ways. You build a book, it automatically gives you the opportunity to spit out a PDF, give a link out, and then students can directly purchase the book at cost. That way we don't need to handle any issues associated with non-commercial clauses of our content. Minus 5% for keeping it up and such. So, we're very happy about the printing capabilities that's on the fly and automatically given to any resources that we have available. I'm sorry, I wasn't planning on talking about it, so I'm still looking around for it. So, I know for us and it's interesting how you guys are doing it. We're not allowed to let our students go to an outside source like this. We are actually required to have our students go to the bookstore, and so of course the bookstore is going to charge a lot more for a printed copy. And it's in our contract, and so it's interesting, how do you get around those issues? Great question. There may be people here who can speak to that in the chat or by voice. In the meantime, I'll also toggle over to Anne Marie's question in the chat, which is related I think to this print question. And that's whether your campuses address student hardware, software and Wi-Fi access gaps? Where she lives, they have limited broadband in so many areas, so offline reading is a necessity for some. You want me to go? Anyone is invited to speak to it. I just don't want to dominate the conversation. I tend to do that for some reason or another. So, we take offline access to content very seriously and we have a range of different mechanisms in order to facilitate that, both in action or what will be coming out in the near future. So, one can argue obviously that PDFs is one mechanism to do that, but you lack a lot of the capabilities, the things that make the textbook of the future the future. And physical books have the same issues off of that, that's technically an offline dissemination mechanism. We have constructed and this is developed in order to try facilitate dissemination to developing countries. What we refer to as a LibreTexts in a box, so it's essentially a Raspberry Pi box, I was looking for a photograph of it, and it'll take me a minute to pull it up and I have a limited amount of time. So, if you're unfamiliar with Raspberry Pi, it's essentially a computer that fits in the palm of your hand. It's not a very powerful computer, but it's still a computer. You can load it up with the right technology in order to basically put our entire library on it. And then, you can mail it out to people. So, if you're in a developing country that has absolutely no internet infrastructure, you can get this box. And if you have a Wi-Fi available device, you can plug this in and then you can access this and it could be in a classroom in order to be able to disseminate that. What's clear with the Covid situation is that there are a lot of students in America that have limited internet access, either because the infrastructure is not there, or they don't have the money in order to purchase it. So, there's a need in order to be able to implement these sorts of things. What's going to be coming out soon are two other manifestations of offline on our system, one is LibreTexts on the phone. Which is an app that you can actually then download, but more importantly it's not like downloading a PDF, it downloads everything that you can run with JavaScript on our technology that doesn't require server side capabilities. So, unfortunately WeBWorK and IMath require server side capabilities. Theoretically H5P does not, but it's not designed in order to operate like that. But a lot of the other JavaScript technologies that you embed into it, you can then put into it, so you can pull in your phone and you can use the activities that you have off of there. We have a collaboration with EduWorks, which is an organization in Oregon in order to make what we call Pebble Books which will be EPUB3.0 compliant books. So, has those JavaScript components into it, which has largely still been ignored in EPUB outputs. And that also includes all the MathJax and the equations in order to make Oscar's equations look pretty, which is important, that's integrated into that. And then, I'll shut up. Well, thanks, Delmar. It's great to hear all of the different ways that LibreTexts is looking to support learning. And Marilyn mentions another one in the chat, which is Rachel, which is there with a link. And I just want to invite again anyone in this call, not only our three guests, if you have insight or examples about how your institutions or institutions you know of are addressing these issues, please feel free to share them in the chat. There is another question here from Melanie. She is asking what's available for organic chemistry in terms of open homework systems? She's heard the need for a good drawing tool is there. And that it's often not part of existing homework systems and can be a barrier to adopting open textbooks for organic chemistry. So, anyone in the call who would like to speak to those homework systems? I see Amy nodding, so this might be a great chance for you to jump in, Amy. Well, yeah, I mean, I agree, there is not. I have looked pretty much with all these systems, and I haven't seen anything yet. We're very fortunate our university purchased a university-wide license for ChemDraw. So, we have ChemDraw, and our students can download that. But yeah, you've got ChemDoodle and stuff like that, but all of that stuff still is there's some money involved. So, I've yet to really see anything unfortunately, that's one of the things I wish would change. Delmar, is that on the roadmap for you folks? Yeah. So, I should mention, ISIS/Draw or whatever ISIS/Draw became is freely available and I've published multiple papers using ISIS/Draw without requiring—but anyways, open OCHEM is probably the most advanced OER based organic infrastructure out there. It's still a little clunky in its implementation. So, as part of this grant that we got from the US Department of Education is to build all the OER textbooks to supplant the textbooks for an American Chemical Society degree from start to finish. So, that includes the general chemistry, which is largely taking care of, although we have to revamp a lot of the things for R1 institutions. Organic chemistry is a bane in my side, I’m a physical chemist, not an organic chemist, if the quantum mechanics didn't tell you that. But we also have a team for inorganic chemistry, analytical chemistry and biochemistry, which is actively [inaudible 0:42:53]. By the time the grant is over in two years, we expect to have a pile yea high that can take the place of them. So, the organic chemistry people are 100% concerned with the original poster's question here. The Adapt homework system is designed to deal with what I call Frankensteins. So, you can embed different things in order to be able to make new systems up, which it took me a moment to pull it up. So, we have an example where we can embed JS Mol or JL Mol capabilities. So, you can have two enantiomers and then you can have a different system like WeBWorK or H5P that asks questions regarding it below there, so they're interconnected. That right there gives you the ability to do about 80% of the sort of questions that are typically involved in organic chemistry books. The problem is the questions that are in organic chemistry books are actually not nearly as good as they should be, because you need to have more advanced capabilities for making mechanisms and reactions and things like that. And that's very complicated to be able to implement, but there's certainly pushes off of that. My intent is that I have a sub-team of that sub-team focusing on organic chemistry problems, bringing it into the Adapt system so that everyone can capitalize and use it. I expect to be able to test drive parts of that this summer, whether it's early summer or late summer, I do not know. Thanks, Delmar. Oscar, you spoke to the learning curve, although you may have used a different term for PreTeXt, can you talk a little bit more about your experience writing and creating the book? Were you "riding the wave", as Delmar said and writing it as you were teaching it or did you spend some time before teaching it? Yeah, the book evolved over a number of semesters teaching the course. And every time I teach the course, I have a problem, and I have to just admit that I have a problem that I always want to mess with the book whenever I teach a course. The last time I taught discrete math, I decided to completely reorganize the topics and do graph theory before counting. So, I wrote a new version of the book as I was going. So, that's just apparently the way that I like to teach my classes. Initially, I wrote it all in LaTeX, which I was very familiar with, and then to get it in this newer format, I spent a summer to really learn how to do that and use some automated conversion tools to get me most of the way there. And now that it's in that nice format, now it's really easy to add things as I go, or to rearrange things because I'm familiar enough with the format that it's just copying and pasting code here and there. And pointing to different things and pulling something from this other course that I taught that's kind of similar and dropping it in in the right place. So, I think having good source allows you to ride the wave whenever you want to while you're teaching and to make things refined. In fact, this semester I'm teaching graduate level graph theory class and I only have eight students, but the way we're running the class is that we are together writing our own OER graph theory book. And everyone is contributing proofs of various things in PreTeXt, I had to teach them how to do that. But they were able to figure it out in the first couple of weeks, so now they can all write stuff, they submit pull requests to GitHub, it's all managed there. So, we're creating this book, in a very inquiry based learning format, really, I think this is what open pedagogy should be, right? You're using open source ideas to actually improve your teaching. And so, that's really riding the wave, since we don't have a textbook to start with and the students are doing it. And how many students are you working with on that project? It's just eight students in the class, it's a small graduate class. I'm not brave enough to try it with a larger undergraduate class, yet. And when you moved from LaTeX to PreTeXt, was there anything you were especially excited to say goodbye to in LaTeX? Or anything you were especially sad to say goodbye to in LaTeX? So, there is certainly a difference in philosophy. LaTeX, even though it's not a what you see is what you get editor, you have a lot of control about I want to make this word bold, for example. In PreTeXt there is no bold command because bold is about presentation, and your source should reflect the content. So, instead you say, "This is a term that we're going to define or this is something that needs to be emphasized." And then, the processor determines what that should look like. I think that's very important, because different formats are going to have different ways of marking it up. One new leading edge feature of PreTeXt is you can now basically convert your source into Nemeth Braille. So, you can create a complete Braille version of a textbook, something that normally costs $50,000 to get a publisher's textbook transcribed into Braille, you can do at a push of a button now. That's only possible because the source is marked up in a completely semantic way, without any formatting. But that takes a little getting used to, because if you're used to saying, "I want this to start on a new page, so I'm going to have a command that says new page." Well, then you have to figure out how not to do that when you're writing your materials. But I think it's for the best. Yeah, I appreciate how you illustrate the trade-offs, that some authors may be frustrated at not being able to word by word format text, but the pay-off of having everything at the source level is exactly as you said, that it's much more flexible and has greater integrity and structure. Let me mention, that's a beautiful statement. I would leverage that to a pet peeve that actually underlies much of the LibreTexts project in that PDFs are the opposite of that. We should not be storing our content on PDFs because we can't do the sort of utility that's offered here. And far, far, far too much of OER content out there is PDFs, that's why my team is ripping them apart in order to put them into a semantic infrastructure where you do these sorts of things. Yeah, it's true, there's a difference between openness by license and openness in terms of technology and flexibility. Amy, I wonder if you can talk a little bit about how your students interact with the notebook and if anything changed when you started using the notebook? Have you noticed any sort of pedagogical or engagement differences with your students? Yeah, I've definitely seen a difference. I think the students are actually more excited to go and work with the electronic notebook than the paper notebook. They actually probably know more about the electronic notebook than me, because they found ways to do colors, and bolding things. And you still want a traditional format, but at the same point they can write things that are kind of more what they want. And my goal, right now, because I teach organic chemistry is not to have them be the perfect scientist. I want them just to be excited about science for my students. They'll get that in physical chemistry and biochemistry and the upper level sciences. One of the other things that I've seen is that they are spending more time wanting to understand the material, ironically, even though it's a paper. There's not much difference between what I'm doing in the paper and the electronic. But I'll get a lot more questions, "How do you do this?" Or "How do you do this calculation?" Or "I'm looking at this data." Some of the students actually were even uploading videos, they loved seeing a reaction occurring, so they videotaped that. And then, they put that on there, so the engagement level went up I saw in terms of that. Grading wise, I liked it there's things on there that I haven't completely explored, but if you're concerned about students maybe writing in their lab notebooks after a certain time, you can put deadlines on there. You can put timestamps, so that when they're writing things and so I've kept it a little open in that, because the first few times they just want and need to get comfortable with the program. But the learning curve for them is very flat. Even though it's a new program, it's an app, and these students understand apps, they don't understand coding unfortunately at this point. In general, most of the stuff has been positive, only one or two have complained to me that they wished they went back to the original format. And I've been doing this now for five semesters, so I would say that's a pretty good reason. They seem to pretty much enjoy it. And then, they have a copy of this for their entire career, if they want to go back and put it into the electronic portfolios, now. They can just plop it right into there. So, yeah, it's been very good, very exciting. Yeah, it does sound exciting. Cool. Well, I know there is a lot of chat going on in the chat. Looks like about Rachel and other open pedagogy projects. Are there other questions that any of you want to surface from the chat? Or unmute and ask directly? Amy, what was the name of that technology you're using again? It's called eLabFTW. There's a link I put in the chat for that program. Thank you. Okay, I think that was an adequate pause, but if not, feel free to interrupt me as I segue into our closing comments. So, on behalf of the Open Education Network, it's always a pleasure partnering with the Rebus Community and Apurva on Office Hours. And please join me in thanking our three guests and the stories that they shared about creating math and science resources. We were joined today by Oscar Levin, Amy Balija, and Delmar Larsen. If you have ideas for future Office Hours, please let us know. And Apurva, I'll hand things over to you for any closing comments. Thank you, Karen and thank you to all three guests for sharing their experiences and sharing a plethora of tools with us. I'm sure there's a lot of reflecting back in the chat and looking up some of these resources that we'll be doing. I also wanted to take a moment to thank everybody who joined us at this session today. Thank you for contributing your questions, reflections and thoughts. And as always, it's a pleasure to coordinate with the Open Education Network on these sessions. Looking forward to seeing you all hopefully next month. Take care, everyone. Bye bye.

8ga4hDY6EvU | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ga4hDY6EvU | What's All That Squawking About? - Ann's Tiny Life | hey everybody ann here sitting here in the tiny house having my coffee miss judy's over there and i'm just sitting here reading all your comments on my last video the the one about you know sad and whatnot and you've all brought tears to my eyes so i'm gonna get off social media for a little while and um it's actually not very sunny today it's kind of a drag dreary day but i'm going to go out and enjoy this day i'm going to do something don't know what i'm going to do if it's even just walking around looking at things that's what i'm going to do but you all have lifted me up so thank you i love you guys so much one or two of the hens has been squawking all morning they're still in the van it's like 12 something still no eggs so i don't know maybe maybe they're getting ready to lay now someone's being noisy not these these just want out two of the leg horns have been going in and out of the boxes no eggs i'm bummed come on girls [Laughter] who is that oh it's none of these up on top this little thing i think it's mama nope nope nope mama's right there i don't know what are you doing chickens i'm just going to back off give them a little bit more time see what happens in the meantime i'm gonna go and try and wrap that uh tank with some more garbage bags it's gonna be harder now because it's full but i'm gonna see if i can do it it is mostly wrapped but i've noticed that since it's fuller i don't have the back done yet it is full can you see that to right there and so that is it looks like more than half but i've noticed that the fuller it is the harder it is to get it behind this thingy so i'm doing the best i can i've got some of it on i've got the top done and i just weighed it down with these old logs uh of course i left that open had to you know or the water can't get in i've got most of this side done but i just can't get it down below there i don't know i may just wrap it around the outside but it's just easier i mean i thought it would be easier putting it behind the cage because that will hold it on if it gets windy uh i got a little bit of it done um i'm going to give it a rest here for a little bit because i got to show you i've been cutting myself and this right here really hurts i cut it with a knife pretty deep and i have to kind of like stuff it in this way so it's hurting it so i don't know i may just let this go until this thing heals up but it's getting pretty much covered so at least that's something i went ahead and cut back the chives and the walking onions so hopefully they'll come up back up next winter i may need to cut those down a little bit more but and i'm going to cook up the tops in something today and i pulled the uh turnips no beets no turnips yep i pulled the turnips they weren't very big i'm gonna throw them in some soup today probably um i'll probably go ahead and take all of this off because there's really nothing else for the chickens to get to uh yeah i think i need to cut that a little bit lower because they'll just pull it right out of the ground and save this netting for our next spring and the little post things because those worked out great i also cut back the oregano the sage i still need to cut that back um i may go ahead and just leave this rosemary here for them to peck away at and i did undecorate the tree this i don't know if it's going to be worth planting you guys it looks like it's getting a little brownish and they really shouldn't be doing that so i don't know if this is worth the trouble to try and transplant out by the road i've been watering it and it has been raining but maybe i just didn't get enough of the roots so i don't know let me know what you think somebody still squawking let me know what you think about that i cut back all the time and the peppermint uh so that's all cut down to the ground there's more peppermint over there more peppermint over there i just cut it back all the way to the ground hopefully it'll come back next year great judy has decided to take a dump in the hugelkultur garden bed lovely there's one more little turnip over there i may just pull it and give the chickens the greens uh that's the beauty berry i'm not really sure if i should cut that back all the way i'm gonna have to look that up this is the passion fruit vine and it's kind of cut back by the chickens already so i don't know if that's gonna come back but listen to that i gotta go see what's going on over there what do you think guys you think it's egg time [Laughter] there's somebody in the box back there i know i'm gonna go look i'm gonna go look nope nope watch it and nope i have a feeling she's wanting to but if i let her if i let the leg horns out nobody's going to lay inside this van what i ended up doing is just letting the blacks out because they're not going to be laying the eggs it's the it's a leghorn so um they're eating a little snack right now they've been melting so i gave them a little bit of extra protein in the form of some sardines added some oats in it and so i went in and took a tray into the girls inside so they can have a little snack too maybe it's just going to take them a little bit longer and for it to be a little bit calmer i just need to leave them alone this is just frustrating i mean it's not 1 pm yet so well we'll see i also took judy inside because she was just barking up a storm and i know that if chickens get stressed they can have they can lay those funny-looking eggs like the one that i had in that shorts video it was so weird it was like it was frozen solid but if it had not been frozen solid i bet you it was one of those squishy eggs you know what i mean but there was a yolk inside of it and everything um and like i said it was laid when one of them was up on that roost by the window so i just need to keep it calm they need to feel secure and just let them do their thing oh good boy romeo he's trying to do his little rooster dance he's still very awkward at it oh look he's telling oh oh and took it right out of his mouth i need to name that that bard rock what do you think what should i name her you guys so we have romeo we have look he's trying to get with her look i haven't opened the door so they can't free range i just want to keep them in the yard for a little bit look he's he's trying hard he's like come on come on he wants in there he can't get in there um okay so i've that coco is there she's the one that's right there uh the bard rock doesn't have a name and the black one doesn't have a name and then inside we've got mama and patsy and then one more leghorn uh so we need to find names for all of those so help me out guys what do you think i should name them romeo he's so sweet oh and by the way i did take all those herbs and what not that i that i trimmed back and i just threw them in the chicken yard so the chickens can have them and they're pecking away romeo is telling the girls where the food is and the lighthorns are still in there going crazy and romeo does not like being separated from those leg horns so it's 12 48. i mean basically 1 p.m is 6 hours from the time that it's daylight time when the sun comes up so that's kind of the time frame that i've read that chickens will start laying within the first six hours so i'm gonna try and stick to that because when i've kept them in the van until 1 pm that's when i've gotten eggs and i've let them out early the last couple of days and they've just gone off and i think they're laying eggs in the woods romeo well it's about quarter after one and still no egg uh they've seemed to kind of calm down a little bit so i don't know sounds it sounded a little distressing to me so i just put some extra oats out in the yard i don't have the gate open so i'm just going to watch them i'm going to try and keep them in the yard today and just see what happens maybe maybe let them go out and free range a little bit but no eggs today i don't think so unless somebody goes back in there and decides to lay an egg anyhow that's all i got for you guys today see in the next video [Music] thanks for watching everybody i hope you enjoyed the video make sure you like subscribe hit the bell and you all have a good one | Ann's Tiny Life and Homestead |

aSEQfqNYNAc | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSEQfqNYNAc | Rich Hickey rants about HttpServletRequest in 1080p: Death By Specificity from Clojure Made Simple | so one of the other things I think we suffer from in object orientation is death by specificity right all the time we have a new thing we have a new idea a new piece of data boom we have a new class get this get that get whatever I don't care if their value types whatever right it's just a glorified map except you can't even use it as a map in Java right there's no generic way to manipulate something that says get this get that get that it's a new type new language gets own little vocabulary right so you're gonna have more code you're gonna have much less for use you can have more coupling right because essentially what's happening is every object has its own little language my class my interface my own language this is my biggest pet peeve I want to get away from this when we started writing get this get that it's like this is there's no purpose to this this is just life sucking so let's look at life sucking in there in this is this is just a tiny part I actually skipped this is just the servlet request and I have a little bit of httpservletrequest which really doubles the size of this thing but my question to you is how many maps do you see here we're like give a name you get a value I got one I go and actually can't do the auctioneer's thing how many got yeah all right so first of all this game is hard right there there's some I got I got three inside and the overall thing is a map too so I got four right off by you know picking it apart what's really interesting is look at these map interfaces they're all ad-hoc guess what else they're all different one has setting one you can actually get the map when you can get a list some you can get out with types just for different maps in this one class this is crazy right enclosure we just use maps right this stuff came over wire in HTTP as text how did we turn it into this what happened what happened what you know this is crazy now who can see I told you the curly braces are maps who can see how many master want to you know you see all the maps there's like there's because there's still maps right if you're gonna write code that manipulates that other stuff every single line of code you write is gonna be special has to you know use whatever Java X servlet blah right and your rank codes explicitly to this thing if there's another way to do HTTP not that the risks or what so probably the only way it sort of two HTTP but if there was another way to do HTTP will you be able to reuse that code know it's all written this all hardwired to this person or persons idea of like what an HTTP request is right so yeah okay this is a tiny little benefit right dot works in your IDE oh my goodness cuz I could never remember that so I bet something better happen when I press dot because I'm doomed otherwise of course I could look at the HP spec and you know like we could agree on these names and I just don't get it you know you can tell a kid not to put a spoon in a blender and turn it on and like they will remember that for their entire lives they will never make that mistake but grown-up adult programmers like we need we need protection right for from this stuff but the protection we get is really what's the cost it's huge right that's an idiot in inconsistent interface it's incredibly idiosyncratic the interface is huge so if you wanted to like have a second implementation you know get to work like there's a ton more code to consume it you can't use any of the libraries you already have right with the closure version all the math code like I said those hundreds of functions they work on this you can create this with them you can read this with them you can merge two of these with that like you have no new code to manipulate this no new code all the functions you already know manipulate HTTP requests as soon as you're represented as data which they were by the way before we map them right the testing right it's easier to test data can you make a program that makes this yeah can you make a part of the mix one of these yeah okay and this and the other problem is your typical job of program has two to three orders of magnitude more of that more of this right 100 classes to a couple hundred how many people have programs with more than a thousand classes yeah that's a party all right | Fred Overflow | UC9m7D4XKPJqTPCLSBym3BCg | 2019-11-30 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 846 | 4,288 |
J_bnJefzDGE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_bnJefzDGE | Light echo | Wikipedia audio article | a light echo as a physical phenomenon caused by light reflected off surfaces distant from the source and arriving at the observer with a delay relative to this distance the phenomenon is analogous to an echo of sound but due to the much faster speed of light it mostly only manifests itself over astronomical distances for example a light echo is produced when a sudden flash from Innova is reflected off a cosmic dust cloud and arrives at the viewer after a longer duration than it otherwise would have taken with a direct path because of their geometries light echoes can produce the illusion of superluminal motion topic explanation light echos are produced when the initial flash from a rapidly brightening object such as Innova as reflected off intervening interstellar dust which may or may not be in the immediate vicinity of the source of the light light from the initial flash arrives at the viewer first while light reflected from dust or other objects between the source and the viewer begins to arrive shortly afterward because this light has only traveled forward as well as away from the star it produces the illusion of an echo expanding faster than the speed of light in the first illustration above light following path a is emitted from the original source and arrives at the observer first light which follows path B is reflected off a part of the gas cloud at a point between the source and the observer and light following path C is reflected off a part of the gas cloud perpendicular to the direct path although light following paths B and C appear to come from the same point in the sky to the observer B is actually significantly closer as a result the echo of the event in an evenly distributed spherical cloud for example will appear to the observer to expand at a rate approaching or faster than the speed of light because the observer may assume the light from B is actually the light from C all reflected light rays that originate from the flash and arrive at the earth together will have travelled the same distance when the rays of light are reflected the possible paths between the source and the earth that arrive at the same time correspond to reflections on an ellipsoid with the origin of the flash and the earth as its two foci see animation to the right this ellipsoid naturally expands over time topic examples you topic v838 monocerotis you the variable star v838 monocerotis experienced a significant outburst in 2002 as observed by the Hubble Space Telescope the outburst proved surprising to observers when the object appeared to expand at a rate far exceeding the speed of light as it grew from an apparent visual size of four to seven light-years in a matter of months topic super novae using light echoes it is sometimes possible to see the faint reflections of historical supernovae astronomers calculate the ellipsoid which has the earth and a supernova remnant at its focal points in order to locate clouds of dust and gas at its boundary identification can be done using laborious comparisons of photos taken months or years apart and spotting changes in the light rippling across the interstellar medium by analyzing the spectra of reflected light astronomers can discern chemical signatures of supernovae whose light reached earth long before the invention of the telescope and compared the explosion with its remnant which may be centuries or millennia old the first recorded instance of such an echo was in 1936 but it was not studied in detail an example as supernova SN 1 9 8 7 a the closest supernova in modern times it's light echoes have aided in mapping the morphology of the immediate vicinity as well as in characterizing dust clouds lying further away but close to the line of sight from Earth another example as the SN 1572 supernova observed on earth in 1572 where in 2008 faint light echoes were seen on dust in the northern part of the Milky Way light echoes have also been used to study the supernova that produced the supernova remnant Cassiopeia A the light from Cassiopeia A would have been visible on earth around 1660 but went unnoticed probably because dust obscured the direct view reflections from different directions allow astronomers to determine if a supernova was asymmetrical and shone more brightly in some directions than in others the progenitor of Cassiopeia A has been suspected as being asymmetric and looking at the light echos of Cassiopeia A allowed for the first detection of supernova asymmetry in 2010 yet other examples are supernova SN 1 9 9 3 J and SN 201 4 J you topic Cepheid light echoes were used to determine the distance to the Cepheid variable RS puppies to an accuracy of one percent pierre Kavala at the european southern observatory described this measurement as so far the most accurate distance to a Cepheid topic Nova per se 1901 in 1939 French astronomer Paul kuduk published a study entitled les Orioles luminous as de Novi luminous halos of the no V within this study who Dirk published the derivation of echo locations and time delays in the paraboloid rather than ellipsoid approximation of infinite distance however in his 1961 study YK gullet queried cooter C's theories it is shown that there is an essential error in the proof according to which cooter assumed the possibility of expansion of the bright ring nebula around nova per say 1901 with a velocity exceeding that of light he continues the comparison of the formulas obtained by the author with the conclusions and formulas of cooter shows that the coincidence of the parallax calculated according to qu Drake scheme with parallax is derived by other methods could have been accidental topic quasar light and ionization echoes within the last decade objects known either as quasar light echoes or quasar ionization echoes have been investigated a well studied example of a quasar light echo as the object known as Hanny's Voorwerp HSV HSV as made entirely of gas so hot about 10,000 Celsius that astronomers felt it had to be illuminated by something powerful after several studies of light and ionization echoes it is thought they are likely caused by the echo of a previously active AGN that has shut down kevin chevensky a co-founder of the website galaxy zoo stated we think that in the recent past the galaxy IC 2497 hosted an enormous ly bright quasar because of the vast scale of the galaxy and the Voorwerp light from that past still lights up the nearby Voorwerp even though the quasar shut down sometime in the past 100,000 years and the galaxies black hole itself has gone quiet Chris Lin taught also a co-founder of Galaxy Zoo stated from the point of view of the Voorwerp the galaxy looks as bright as it would have before the black hole turned off it's this light echo that has been frozen in time for us to observe the analysis of HSV in turn has led to the study of objects called Voorwerp G's and green bean galaxies topic C also Cherenkov radiation citizen-science Zooniverse | wikipedia tts | UCmmkBTh8HaiycBZjOc8cVgw | 2019-06-05 |

VpzfUgxn7zQ | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpzfUgxn7zQ | Blessed Are Those Who Hunger For Righteousness | by the way my name is eric gucci and i'm the lead pastor here at cornerstone church and if this is your first time coming to cornerstone hey thank you so much for being here today if you're watching online for the first time just want to let you know something really really important is that god loves you so much that you he has a purpose he has a plan for your life you're not an accident you're a you're on purpose god has you here on purpose and we just want to let you know how much god loves you can you welcome everyone that's watching online and everyone that's here nice and loud come on amen well we had a great time yesterday i want to thank cornerstone we were able to feed over five we provided five over 500 meals for people over this thanksgiving you can go ahead yes and uh i want to thank danny is danny here today i don't see where danny there is danny can stand up danny thank you for all the hard work come on i appreciate all the hard work danny's really do and uh just a great job helping organize all and everyone else that was involved we had a lot of fun and we were able to make a difference together so that's really encouraging that we're able to do that and so thank you everybody also i want to thank everyone for the generosity towards haiti last week we want to take an offer for dr franco to get that four wheel drive that little many four will drive in the mountains so they can bring the water to the children that are escaped to the mountain because of the gangs and if you were not here last week what's going on in haiti is incredible uh perhaps the most difficult thing that's happened in the last 60 years or more and so we want to be able to help that i think we're up to 7 000 or something like that a couple grand more and we're going to be able to do it and we're going to do it regardless but we would love to have you participate with that and if you want to do that just put haiti an extra that be fantastic all right everybody so uh let's get ready to study the word of god today if you're going to go ahead and get your bibles open or your paths or whatever we're going to be looking at the beatitudes today so let's go ahead and open our bibles as i get a drink all right well we're excited we're talking about this the beatitudes attitudes that elevate and a lot of people would say this and we didn't our our basic theme is this your attitude determines your altitude you've heard it a lot right and all the self-help stuff and it's true your attitude does determine your altitude inside but you can be happy and self-adjusted and do really really well in your own life and feel like everything is fine it does not mean it's fine just because your internal reality believes it that way correct all right so what we want to do is not just get our attitudes better that's not good enough what we want to do is match our attitude with god's beatitudes which will take us to god's altitude and god's altitude my friends is out of this world and the only way you're going to overcome and and be able to do more in this world is to be out of this world and that's through jesus christ and these beatitudes are amazing they're preamble to the sermon on the mount it is an incredible shifter of everything i mean when you read this list we're going to leave it in a few moments it goes against everything we would naturally want in fact it goes to the very things you and i don't want it tells us we are to be those things in some instances and so we'll be talking about that today so the beatitudes attitudes that elevate but we'll start off with this i appreciate the help there can you come next service too i love it not like a child right well they they have a dog and i i when i think about hunger i really think about dogs because dogs have an insatiable appetite you ever see a dog i mean no matter where you are they i mean they just want to eat more and more and more in fact when we when i was a kid a few years ago we had this dog it was a mutt it was called heidi and this this dog my parents had to get away they gave it away to my grandparents we were devastated over i'm still going for counseling over it but this dog never stopped eating i i've never seen a dog like heidi most dogs they eat not this dog would eat itself to death in fact it it would eat it would continue to eat until it started vomiting and they would eat again it was like a greek or a roman i mean it was insane i'm seriously so we literally had to get food away from this dog because this dog would eat and eat and eat and eat and it has to vet and the dog will probably explode so we always eat constantly we were like what's the deal it's like a teenager right you kept eating and eating and eating and and and so we had an insatiable appetite you know i would say to us today that's the kind of appetite god wants to give us for him an appetite that constantly goes after him an appetite that is always finding satisfaction yet is always growing and wanting more and so let's make no mistake that all of us have appetites our appetites rule our lives right when you're tired you go to sleep hopefully when you're hungry you eat right so our appetites well if we're not careful can control our lives to such a degree that we let our appetites do that and where we stop living the life we're called to live so today we're going to look at that today and i want to remind everybody that there's an appetite that god has put into your heart in my heart it's found here in ecclesiastes he's made everything beautiful in his time also he has put eternity in their hearts except that no one can find out the work that god has does from the beginning to the end he's put eternity in your hearts what that is is god has put an insatiable attitude appetite for things out of this world he's given us an appetite that this world frankly cannot satisfy and many of us will never reach our goals so we have this perpetual carrot in front of us called materialism right the advertising agencies that are out there that are fond constantly putting things in your browser or on your phone or the people that call you up and say your warranties run out i get about five or six a week how many am i the only one we need to have a lawsuit against those people and sue them so we can build something extra in the church but anyhow but this one begins to have we had this appetite and we want to have this appetite we can run after the world there are people that have have climbed the highest mountain and when they got there like isn't there more than this and my friends if we're not careful we can start chasing after things and we're never going to be satisfied and so he's made everything beautiful in his time and he's put eternity in our hearts my friends everyone knows there's more even atheists know there's more you think about elon musk who wants to save the planet so he wants us to go to mars he doesn't even believe in god from what i understand and so he's trying to expand and he knows there's something more why would you want to leave this earth and go to mars i mean the candy bar is okay but i don't want to go to mars right but he knows there's something more and he wants why because god has put that hunger in us and we deny that truth i pray that elon musk comes to know jesus christ father let him come to know you in jesus name you know and think about it so we have this hunger and thirst for righteousness so we're supposed to have and so today we're going to look at this blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled just wanted to reiterate just a few moments what this is all about this is called the beatitudes and this is what god wants us to do he wants us to hunger and thirst for righteousness and when you look about this and you read about it it has a tremendous meaning in it so i'm going to go ahead just for a few moments i want us to read uh the beatitudes once again so you understand the context of it there's these statements that christ says but today we're going to look at what this means but first before we do that let's look it through quickly okay this is what happened jesus was speaking on a mountain on a mount by the sea of galilee and he is what happened and seeing the multitude he went up on a mountain and when he was seated his disciples came to him then he opened his mouth and taught them saying his disciples came up higher to hear him speak he began to speak other people began to come and he began to give one of the greatest sermons we've ever heard blessed he says are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of god and remember we talked about the very first week what begins to be blessed blessed actually comes from the greek word of an island in the mediterranean where everything you need is there it's like going to one all those inclusion ever go to those places all inclusive everything you need is in the resort that's blessed or happy right blessed blessed you will be full you will have everything you need blessed are the poor in spirit it doesn't make any sense and so we talked the first week basically that we have to that we have to live day by day like a beggar always needing more now why would god want us to be a popper no we have to rely on god that much and that people that have it all together do not have it together that someone who's poor and has no money has a better concept of the kingdom of heaven than someone who's real successful and thinks they need nothing but we talked about that having a poverty spirit for god i'm needing god i need not bad right for theirs is the kingdom of heaven blessed are those who mourn who who wants the mourn right for they shall be comforted and in this world you're gonna have trouble everybody and if you try not to mourn you'll mourn more more if you try to be happy all the time you'll be more unhappy and so embracing mourning understanding that understanding that you're poor in spirit understanding your mourning that you need god coming to the place in point where you're at complete poverty and knowing you need god completely that's a good place to be in fact we've seen people go through drug rehab centers and before they go there i'll have a friend of mine that can you talk to this person they're struggling with alcohol and drugs and i know you got through it and come back say if he's not ready yet why no he's not broken enough you got to come to the point where you're powerless you have to come to the point where you realize you have nothing else to give that's the moment you can truly get help in the kingdom of heaven so blessed are those who mourn for their shall be the kingdom of heaven we mentioned last time we were together blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth i mean it's just so counterintuitive we talked about that last time being gentle okay let's just go on for a few moments blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness that's today for they shall be filled we go next to come and come together blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy i'm looking forward to that one by the way blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see god blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called the sons of god blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven blessed are you when they revile and persecute you and say all kinds of evil against you falsely for my name's sake rejoice this is the point that's important rejoice and be exceedingly glad i mean who wants to be persecuted who wants all these negative things to happen right for great is your reward on earth what does it say in heaven for they persecuted the prophets who were before you so listen everybody nothing makes sense in this beatitudes in fact nothing makes sense in earth until you understand we're not created just for this earth we're created for eternity unless you understand that you're never gonna get this life correct anyone that talks about the here and now only is missing the point let me give you an illustration i heard a number of years ago if i shared it before uh get over it i'm a little older now so i do repeat myself but i remember hearing an illustration a number of years ago imagine if you will that we were going to board an airplane and i told you hey look at this great parachute here i want you to put it on buy this from me i don't want that what it's going to make your life amazing you're going to find such satisfaction you're going to have happiness your wife if your marriage is going to love you more your husband if you're is gonna love you more are you gonna find your husband or wife you're gonna get out of debt you're gonna feel so hap you're gonna have your best life now like you've never dreamed of happening but put this backpack on it's gonna make your life better she's like great so you put the backpack on you get on the plane and they put you in coach which is about the size of a roach you're sitting there like this right and you get the backpack and you're in the middle seat don't you love when you get the middle seat yeah and so you're in between two people that have extra let's just say they have extra baggage on them anyhow so you're sitting there like this and and they're all happy and they're having a good time and you're like you're like well i thought this makes my life better it makes a flight better my flight's worse look how comfortable and look at people in first class have you seen the purple people in first class and you're sitting there like this this is terrible funny you know what i don't believe after an hour or two in the flight you're gonna fly all the way to hawaii and so you take that thing off i don't need this anymore and you get rid of it until the plane is going to go down now you need a parachute right well the reason you have a parachute everybody is not to make you more comfortable in the plane although it does do that it's to save you from impending doom if the airplane goes down or if you jump out of the airplane right that's the purpose of it my friends if we think that all salvation is is to have a good life now and and have a better marriage if you're not married or get rid of your spouse who's a louse i don't know but you want to do better you want to go have a better job a better health live in a better house right i want to have happiness i want to do this or the other and if you think that's what jesus is here for you're mistaken it's like that person on an airplane that wears a big backpack that has the wrong perspective however if you go down a plane and you say where's a 30 chance that the plane may go down how happy will you be to have that parachute you'll be fine with being uncomfortable because why there's a greater purpose beyond what you're experiencing my friends the only way we're going to understand this earth is that we're created beyond this earth that jesus has come ultimately to save us and will we have a happier life yes because we know the big picture we mentioned last time we were together that that my children like to watch ball games live they don't want it on tivo or diva whatever it's called they want to see it live because if they know what happens it loses the intensity listen everybody the intensity of suffering has been decreased significantly because we win in jesus christ right so we have to get our eyes off of this earth onto heaven if you don't understand that i believe we're coming to days and upon our land we're going to be persecuted for our faith and until we have ourselves lined up you're gonna fall away talk to people in other countries talk to the lovely family that came from iran and who had whoever who refugees they understand what i'm talking about talk to people in haiti right now talk to people in north korea they understand what we're talking about everybody we have to get our life aligned does god want us to have a good life yes but what good is it if we don't see the long view now can i repeat myself again because i'm older you're supposed to give me more grace because i can repeat stories okay the good news is i haven't forgotten that i told you before so i'm in good shape all right but this is such a good illustration i can't think of anything better but i remember a friend of mine that was into martial arts as you can tell i'm also very high trained in the in the arts anyhow so uh he one day he's showing me how he breaks boards it was a lot of fun you know that's great he had three or four boards he'd crack him he'd kick him and he said once you tried really yeah okay i tried boom i couldn't do it i kept trying to break that board i couldn't do it i said how do you do it you're just a little skinny guy i should have said that he beat me up afterwards but anyhow so he said look the problem is your focus is wrong you're looking at the board it's almost like the matrix see the spoons anyhow he says i want you to try to hit my sternum i want you to try to punch to my chest with your with your with your palm so that's exactly what i did i looked at his chest trying to hit a sternum guess what happened i broke the boards so don't mess with me i know how to do it now but the the reason i could break through is i was looking to where i looking beyond to where that board was if you're looking to the board of this world you're never going to ultimately break it you must look to heaven that is our final home my friends i say it every week and you're sick of it good i hope you comes out of you every time you see me what do i always say every single week the best days are always ahead for those in christ jesus right because we are made for eternity you have to get that everything on this planet says now everything on this planet says eat now pay later play now pay later right and the kingdom of god says i've already paid the bill so jesus says great will be your reward in heaven for they persecuted the prophets who were before you we have to get that before us everybody and it takes work why because everything around us and about we have appetites everywhere don't we our hungers drive us blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled we don't understand hunger too much in our country the fact that we have to worry about our weight shows how blessed we are there are areas in the country they can't gain weight because they can't get enough food in fact when they wrote this when jesus spoke this out back in the days of jesus they didn't have refrigeration they had to go out daily and get their food they might salt their meat or put them underground or something like that but they had to go out daily to get their food and hunger was a common occurrence in the time of jesus a lot of people died from malnutrition in jesus's day so when jesus said hunger the word their hunger is not just a little bit it means you're famished it means you're so hungry you can barely move forward and say in fact i was reading about fasting and and and i've done some in the past and and sometimes you fast the first couple of days you're really really hungry the week goes by all of a sudden the second week you start feeling hey i can kind of do this this is not that bad third week goes by and when you get close to that 40 day mark about 37 38 according to what i've read and testimonies your body goes into the survival mode and all of a sudden that switch of hunger comes on like you've never experienced before because your body starts consuming its own muscle mass it starts consuming everything it's screaming out to you eat something or you'll die you better eat now and that's what we're talking about and that's the kind of by the way when you read the bible and i forgive me for using this but you're never going to forget it when the bible says that the the uh city was under siege and the people ate their own children you're like how on earth could that happen that's the kind of hunger it gets that bad i know the bible by the way the bible is rated an art i mean it's bad i mean stuff that happened in the scriptures the hunger is that bad well you have to eat or you die if i put your head underneath the water and i don't let you up what's going to happen you're going to do everything you can to breathe that air that's the kind of hunger we're talking about here and when jesus says blessed are those who hunger he's saying that have this ravenous appetite for what blessed are those who hunger and thirst where you're so thirsty you can barely move forward you're going to die unless you get something to drink for righteousness oh great i knew i hated church for that reason righteousness sounds boring what's righteousness for well we're talking about an insatiable appetite that you have to have it and righteousness by the way you know what how many people like things right right come on even goldilocks likes it right it's too hot too too soft just what'd you say it's just right say she won a righteous mattress you wanted a righteous forge okay so there's nothing wrong you see that's why all of us know there's something more this is not righteous enough righteous is the right thing righteousness means the rightness of god in your life do you not want the rightness of god in your relationships yes i do do you not want the righteousness in your body the righteousness in the church of course right so blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled which doesn't make a lot of sense so we're talking about perpetual hunger we're talking about this imagine my dog heidi again god bless her soul i don't know where she is if you think they're in heaven okay they're in heaven we'll get to that next week so i mean she would eat and eat and eat and eat and eat and this is the good news what the kingdom of god is is that you hunger and thirst for christ while you're eating you're being satisfied but your appetite is getting greater for more so it's not like you're famished and weak and puny no you're you're expanding this is talking to joe and and stephanie who uh do an amazing job with our youth right now and and he talked about these little he has these chickens in the backyard it's kind of funny to hear him talk about it it's hilarious actually he says these little chickadees are a little boring they're a little boring he said all they do is they eat they go over to sleep get up eat and within a week they grow like three times their size and that's what we're called to do not eat and sleep how many can say amen to that right but it's constantly eating and growing in god and eating and growing in god and being satisfied that's why the apostle paul says i learn to be content in all things but i want more and so this is an invitation everybody for us to grow now listen for lesser of those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled so here's the good news everybody righteousness i can't do it neither can you i don't care how hard you try in fact i want to help you understand today that if you i pray that when you come to cornerstone church that you'll never be satisfied with this church i pray you're never satisfied by preaching i pray you're never satisfied with the worship doesn't mean i want you to go to a different church but i want you to the right perspective who's the one that satisfies christ i pray that when you come here it's like watching the food network when you have no food in the refrigerator and i pray that we're showing you these incredible scrumptious spiritual meals that are ready for you and that you have an appetite to go and begin to prepare these meals with the lord and grow in him that's the purpose of cornerstone church not to this church is not your answer christ is the answer no pastor is your answer i don't care how cool or uncool they are it's not about that it's about christ and the church is a community of people that should be walking close to god getting a hunger and helping us to connect to god the moment this church stops you from wanting to connect to christ is the time it's time to leave and i'll leave with you because it's not about cornerstone it's about jesus and i pray that you're hungrier by the worship i pray that you want more because you want to get closer to god not that you can come more to church it's not church that stages christ that saves you we've got to tell some people go home you hear too much my wife says me that every day just kidding but this is the good news everybody here you can't earn your righteousness i don't care hard this is the truth you are righteous in christ so what we're talking about here you're righteous in position but we're not righteous in practice do you understand we're righteous in position in christ but the practice is not there when we find right we're already righteous in christ but when we begin to do the practice we become better in christ we become fuller we become more efficient in christ we experience more of his presence it's not a good thing so please do not misunderstand this is not about rules and regulations this is about relationship and trusting god in that relationship to experience the fullness of christ here's the good news and it's really good news because you're not good enough and i'm not good enough for he made him that's jesus who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become we might become what the righteousness of god by working hard in church and by reading the bible and praying being part of our small group and handing out food in a clothing drive that's how you know is that what it says everybody what does it say what does it say i want to hear you say it and who one more time in him notice that the righteousness of god comes from only one in christ not religion not cornerstone not any church and maybe your background is you were never good enough welcome to cornerstone none of us are good enough maybe you weren't disappointed by your teachers or nuns or whatever that you grew up in a catholic school nothing wrong with catholic schools maybe you went to a church where you're never doing enough for god guess what christ does it all [Applause] i'm preaching a whole lot better than your amenity seriously this is good news so we're the righteousness of god so listen everybody we don't be we don't do these beatitudes to earn god's favor you can't earn god's favor only through jesus can you earn his favor do you understand what helped you catch what i'm saying it's so important so you are the righteousness you are righteous in christ here's another truth what you hunger and thirst for drives your life it does it drives you physically maslow's hierarchy of needs you know what that's all about i need food i need shelter right the higher you get the more these basic needs of your body are satisfied the more opportunity you have to spend on other pursuits in america we're so blessed that we don't have to worry primarily about food and water and shelter most of us so we have these other pursuits and so what you hunger for and thirst for drives your life and so what's driving your life i want to be liked by people i want to have the biggest church in our district i want to have this or the other and i want to do this and that's what drives your life and so what you're always in competition with somebody else and always feel like you're not good enough or you're better than somebody else who wants to live that life i want a hunger and thirst for something that's beyond this earth and so whatever your hunger and thirst for what are you hungry and thirsting for you know what's like i was a kid my mom used to tell me all the time and now i'm telling my kids this there's certain phrases that you say as a parent that's like in the dna and one of the statements we always tell our children and you've all said it before if your friends jump off a bridge what let me hear say it will you no of course not right here's another one don't eat before dinner it's going to spoil your appetite here we go right how many of us are eating junk food of the earth and we have lost our taste for what's good i mean when i was a kid we drove my parents crazy they go out to this expensive restaurant and all we want are the golden arches i'm not even going to say the name of the place but you know the other several weeks ago i not separated several years ago i haven't gone in a while i decided to go to that place and if you are owner of that place god bless you i'll you know whatever just move on okay and i had something that's big and it's a mac okay and i like it special sauce it's it's it's flipping good okay so i ate it it was uh 20 minutes later i thought i was gonna die because i my body has been trained to like better food because my wife's an amazing cook [Applause] a woman's job is to love god with all of her heart [Applause] i just got cancelled by half of you but what happens is your appetite changes i remember as a kid and my kids do this and i'll buy some sugar syrup get my cap and crunch peanut butter and i'll eat it and then i can't have dinner right so how many times you and i we eat the junk food of this earth and our appetite changes we don't like to eat what's good when someone's an alcoholic they can they can't drink water so what's happened is in many ways our appetites have changed instead of hungering for righteousness we hunger for substitutes we're eating donuts which i call do nuts if you eat donuts all day long you're going to be malnutrition malnourished it's not one of the major four groups unless it's krispy kreme of the conveyor belt okay so listen everybody all you're doing is so what is god saying i want you to hunger and thirst for righteousness why because you're designed for righteousness and righteousness is only established in relationship with christ and when you're in the right position in christ and you have the right position you are the right practices together it brings a fulfillment that nothing can take away from you so what you hunger and thirst for drives your life ho it sounds like a rapper anyhow isaiah 55 1-2 it's funny and i mean they actually say that ho like hey whoa whoa pay attention basically ho everyone who thirsts come to the waters and you who have no money come to buy and eat yes come buy wine and milk without money and without price why do you spend money for what is not bread why do wha and your wages for what does not satisfy luck guys is that not the case running after the american dream running after happiness you're going to be the most miserable person in the world if you run after happiness happiness is a false god in america it's a horrific god fundamentally our country's way off base because we think that happiness is the no it's not wholeness holiness is why do you spend money on wages for what does not satisfy listen carefully to me and eat what is good and let your soul delight itself in abundance so that's what god would have for us everybody he wants us to be satisfied what parent does not want their child what one is a mother or father does not want their kids to eat before the meal why do they want them eat good food for them because they want them to grow strong god wants the same but we've been trained in the righteousness not of god but we've been trained in the rottenness of the earthly food so you've heard me say this a thousand times and i'm going to repeat myself again what you feed leads whatever you eat so what are we eating upon what are we doing that so what hunger and thirst for it drives your life what you feed leads and you know what jesus says he said this he was at the woman at the well one of the great stories and she was a you know to make a long story short she was not a what you call a religious person she had five different husbands and the one she was with with right now was not her husband and jesus was talking to her she says i i'm she says you a jew a man giving me talking to me and he says i have water that will satisfy you she's giving me some of this water and he was talking about her spirituality right god cares more about you than what your current affairs are because he sees you beyond your current circumstances and he sees you in eternity so this is what jesus says he comes back then his disciples are coming back to speak to him and that's what they say in the meantime his disciples urged him saying rabbi eat but he said to them i have food to eat of which you do not know therefore the disciples said to one another has he bought has anyone brought bought him anything to eat jesus said to them my food is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work jesus says more important than eating by the way he started his ministry fasting 40 days and 40 nights why he knew that the most important thing was the feed on god more important than your even your body that it your body passes away he says you've got to feed on god god's will is more important okay my food is to do the will of god so we need to be eating and drinking jesus do you know in the early church they used to think that christians were cannibals that we would eat and they thought they thought we were cannibals and that was one of the uh objections against christianity at the time they misunderstood it but there was a there was a story of jesus and he was teaching and and he did an amazing job teaching of course and what he did after he finished his sermon he said okay we're going to feed the people and he made them fish and chips he gave them fish and loaves and it was amazing everyone was completely satisfied they had 12 baskets afterwards the people were like this is the best fish the best fish and chips we've ever had this is incredible not only does a guy teach well but we also have a great cafe in the church with the best food possible right so they're like they're following him around jesus give me what i want he gives me entertainment and he gives me food what else could you ask for so they start following him around and then jesus said what jesus says to them jesus answered them and said moses surely i say to you you seek me not because you saw the signs but because you ate of the lows and were satisfied how many of us are following jesus because we got that new job that we prayed for that we got that spouse that we were praying for or we went to that college we wanted to get that new job i got better and so thank god because that since god healed my mother of cancer now i'm serving it what happens if god did not heal your mother of cancer would you still follow him what happens if he didn't get that job would you still follow him you see what i'm saying everybody if we focus on these things this is what jesus is talking about and he the people were seeking him not because of what he was but what he could do for them the sign of immaturity is using people to get what you want and make no mistake my saving grace is i realize that i want god to be my errand boy i want god to do what i want him to do and i know that there's something inside of me maybe i'm the only person here that wants to control god am i the only person here thank you there's two of you here the rest of you are so holy you shouldn't be in here in church start your own church most assuredly i say to you seek me not because you saw the signs but because you ate of the loaves and were filled do not labor for food which perishes a career perishes yes even your house and your family they go to heaven hopefully what but for the food which endures to what can you see that everybody which the son of man will give you because god the father has set his seal upon him then they said to him lord give us the spread always he says i'm the bread that came from heaven he talks about and jesus said to them i am the bread of life he or she who comes to me shall never hunger and he who believes in me shall never thirst but i thought the bible says blessed are those who hunger and thirst okay hang on for my flesh is food indeed and my blood is drink indeed he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and i in him what does that simply mean that means your sustenance you understand that you must feed on jesus you feed on what he did and who he is and that is the most important element in your life when you and i understand that truth and live in that truth and abide in that truth it gives us a satisfaction that this world cannot give us because it's not of this world it's out of this world now check this out people you know what jesus did people were like what is he talking about eat his flesh drink his blood this is what god will often do god will often offend the mind to reveal your heart god will often offend your mind to reveal your heart these people got offended why they didn't like the message i don't like that church it's all legalism why do you say that because i don't want to deal with it you know this guy jesus i don't know about him you know what he's why because you will find an offense because you don't want to change and i don't want to change see from that time but check this out everybody this is kind of sobering from that time many of his who went back and walked with him this is too hard i can't do it that's exactly the point you can't and i can't and maybe you're giving up on god because he's not the errand boy you're hoping to become that's a good place to be because he's not called to be your iron board he's your savior he's not saving you for temporary sand castles that the tithe will wash away in a moment and the wind will blow away and some little kid will stamp on he's made you for castles that can never be taken away in a place called eternity then jesus said to the twelve do you also want to go away but simon peter answered to him he got this right everybody as we john makes his way up lord to whom shall we go you have the words of eternal life my friends i i just this is not just about salvation this is about living in a life where you and i are hungering and thirsting for righteousness that we're feeding on christ and that what's happened is we are righteous in position but now our practice is aligning with our position and when our practice aligns with our position we become the men and the women we're created to be and we'll have the greatest effect upon this planet and one day we can hear him say well done good and faithful servant enter into my joy today he saves us we're already saved he gave like the christ but i don't know about you i want to make a great difference for god you're already accepted by god but why not have the benefits of that acceptance why not have the benefits of the inheritance that's been given to you in christ jesus and by the way all these things that we're talking about are impossible to do in your own flesh you and i need the spirit of god to live this life we need jesus we need the holy spirit and we need the body in that order you get that order out of order you're out of order how do we change our appetite here we go acknowledge your appetite is not what it should be can i acknowledge to you today my apple that's not what it should be it isn't and i'm glad i know that do you know that i want my appetite to become better we should always be growing in that change your menu choice from temporary to eternal we need to throw away the menu of this world put it in the shedder we need the menu of heaven the menu of heaven never spoils it never goes bad and it's always an abundance and it satisfies you like nothing else can let's get rid of the menu of this earth and this is important okay now you think i'm getting legal listen i'm not getting legalistic this is biblical what you eat first dries your appetite which you eat first dries your appetite listen everybody order matters uh ever hear the word disorder disorder out of the proper order if your day is out of order your day will be out of order if your life's out of order be out of order my friends what does jesus tell us to do in psalm 63 1 oh god you are my god early [Music] first i will what seek you that's like going after longing for him my soul thirsts for you my flesh longs for you in a dry and thirsty do we not live in a dry and thirsty land maybe you have enough success to realize success is not enough maybe you realize that no relationship is going to make you happy some of you are jumping from girlfriend to girlfriend or marriage to marriage or whatever because you're trying to find someone to satisfy that thirst no human being can satisfy that thirst only god can no career no church [Music] you're a dry and thirsty land where there is no water early listen friends everybody i'm not saying you have to spend two hours but before we look at this horrible device that is wonderful and a curse why do i care what j.lo does who she's dating now i don't care i can care what the kingdom of god is this will take you castage this will take your brain off of god i'm not talking about i'm saying god i want to seek you first god i give you this day god this is your day i will honor you today god i give you this day why not give god five minutes every day first thing you do in the morning i'm gonna put him first you don't have to have a dissertation to read a phd thesis every morning but just spend time with the lord every single day first jesus says seek what [Music] seek first after you look at your iphone or android or google no it doesn't say that says what seek what first the kingdom of god and his righteousness and all these things will be added to us but my friends this is not complicated this is so simple it's insulting isn't it but we struggle with it every day i'm telling you i'm telling you i'm telling i want more of this and i just found an amazing prayer by the late a.w toaster who died in 1966 and you know sometimes in the non-traditional churches we tend to oh we don't read prayers from other people because that's religion i this guy's this guy penned a cry to god that just speaks exactly what i think all of us need i'm going to read it to you right now and this is my prayer i pray to your prayer as well let me read it to you oh god i have tasted thy goodness it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more i am painfully conscious of my need for further grace [Music] i am ashamed of my lack of desire let's be honest come on let's come on everybody let's can we stop playing religious foolishness you don't care and i don't care half the time let's be honest i don't want to read my bible i'm going to watch the sports game i don't want to pray it's boring i don't want to go to a prayer meeting i'm going to do something else let's be honest come on be honest everybody cut it out are you so are you so amazing in christ that you walker no let's be honest all of us myself included sometimes i don't care about god i don't i want to do my way how can you say that that's my saving grace i realize that right i'm ashamed of my lack of desire oh god the triune god i want to want thee i long to be filled with longing i thirst to be made more thirsty still amen [Music] show me thy glory i pray thee so that i may know thee indeed begin in mercy a new work of love within me say to my soul rise up my love my fair one and come away he's quoting the song of solomon's then give me the grace to rise and follow thee up from this misty lowland well i have wandered so long isn't that beautiful guys can you see what we're talking about here we're not all there i'm not there and if you want a church that's there this is not the church for you the fact that we're not there it means it's a church for you really think about it this is not heaven i pray that you're more hungry for god walking out of here today i pray it's like watching the food channel when you're fasting we're not going to give you the food but we want to give you the appetite to put god first in all that you do amen i'm gonna ask you to bow your head and close your eyes father i pray right now in jesus name lord we need a new appetite in this place oh god i need a new appetite father lord let us long and thirst for you god in a dry and weary land oh god lord i pray that you would put a dissatisfaction in us lord that you would make us nauseous for anything that's not of you lord that we'd spit out everything we drink that's not of you god unless we drink from you unless we eat from you let us be dissatisfied god give us that grace let us not get drunk on this world because or be a glutton in this world lord change our appetites god lord we want more of you god we want more of you we thank you that if we're in you we are rightly positioned in you god that we are positioned in righteousness but lord we want our practice to match our position god give us the hunger and thirst for righteousness god and we will be satisfied we will be satisfied in jesus name oh lord pour it upon us in jesus name [Music] i'm going to ask john the leaders in this song for a few moments you want to stand for a moment this is an old song that i never get tired of you ever have those songs you never get tired of some songs i get sick of this one i don't care how much we sing it it always speaks to me because it's a cry of our heart it's a quote from the psalmist david talks about thirsting can we make this listen it's not just sing this prayer can we make it your prayer let's sing this as a prayer and then we'll run a little late but sing it says your prayer [Music] has the deer painted for the water so my soul longs after you [Music] come on make it your prayer [Music] to you alone may my spirit [Music] to worship [Music] father we pray as a deer pants for water sir our soul would pant for you in jesus name lord i pray you'd fill us with you god give us that appetite in jesus name we pray amen amen maybe just for a moment listen everybody i want to ask you a question i like what saint augustine said in this tremendous book called confessions thy has made us for thyself oh lord and our heart is restless until it finds its rest in thee have you given your life to jesus christ am i talking about coming to church or believing in christ but have you handed your life to him are you still calling the shots who is the ceo of your life today is a day of salvation i ask you to bow your head to close your eyes let me ask you a question if have you ever given your life to jesus christ or maybe you did and you walked away and you stayed quick show a hand said pastor include me in that prayer today i want to give my life to christ for the first time or i want to get back right i've fallen away come on it's be honest this morning yourself on the first service anyone here today would be honest enough to say that raise your hand nice and big high okay let's pray this prayer together in our hearts lord jesus i believe you're the son of god i believe you died on the cross for my sins i ask you to forgive me of everything i've ever done wrong both known and unknown and i choose this day to step down from being in charge of my life father my life is your life take it and help me to walk the path that you have for me thank you based upon what you did on the cross and my confession in you and my belief i thank you that i am now your child and i am completely righteous in you in jesus name amen if you prayed that prayer we believe you became born again jesus does not say say your prayer and then you're good to go he says no he says come follow me this is a community of people cornerstone church that follow jesus there's other churches out there as well but this is a church where we follow jesus if you've made that prayer today you want to pull that card out of the front pocket it says right at the bottom there i'm renewing my commitment or i made a new decision if you have a prayer concern you put in the back as well also you can take out your cell phone this is what cell phones are good for you can actually um if you've made a decision for christ you can text text

see the fruition of it very quickly so we want to do that also we want to give unto the lord's work here and our missionaries around the world and i'm telling you right now when you realize it's not yours anyhow it's so freeing and so bible says you bring your tithes and your offerings into my storehouse so father i pray you bless us often today in jesus name we pray lord we pray you meet all of

3-9n7sGTQxM | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-9n7sGTQxM | DANIEL LACALLE:US Economy Weakens | the strength of the U.S economy in the fourth quarter is more than debatable when we look at GDP we have to remember that GDP can be bloated with higher government spending and with lower Imports because the contribution of the external sector is higher exports and imports no we have to deduct the Imports so if there's lower Imports it makes it better for GDP need to look at the trend in final sales to domestic consumers think about this look at this chart that is courtesy of capital economics it shows that in 21 the contribution of final sales to private domestic purchases was significantly higher than that of the overall GDP and that this contribution of final sales to domestic purchases has been falling and weakening all throughout the period of high inflation showing that U.S consumers are feeling the pinch of inflation that companies are seeing weaker sales and that although GDP may be relatively acceptably strong it does not mean that the economy is getting stronger the economy basically is getting fatter what is happening in the U.S economy is that the government is spending massively that the public debt is going through the roof and that GDP May Escape recession but that the contraction of the private sector and the weakening of the domestic economy is evident in all of the data from employment to population ratio which has not recovered the levels of 2020 from the ratio of Labor participation rate which has also not recovered the levels of February 2020 to the isms the manufacturing sector Etc weakening of the domestic private sector at the expense of the inflationary tax and monster government spending | DISTRITOTV | UCxOahresT9J8qOYMYATh5QA | 2023-02-01 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 282 | 1,640 |

67An7A4GU1s | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67An7A4GU1s | ICEBREAKER\VK 75.01 (K) review wot console | hello everybody it's sodmat haven here today and we're going to be taking a look at the icebreaker and the most recent premium german tier viii heavy that they have added to the game it is also the vk 7201k now this tank there's uh there's a lot of talk about it right now me and my buddies we're we're just we're kind of a 50-50 in how we feel about it there's a lot of things that could be better and at the same time it could be worse so right off the bat let's go ahead and just jump right into the modules here your engine so before we even do power to weight you know top speed reverse the engine okay it is dead center right in the front you can get set on fire from the front you can get set on fire with high explosives to the side i've already had a couple of matches in the past four hours that i've been playing the tank since i got it i've been set on fire maybe six times so that 15 fire chance even with preventative maintenance i don't feel like the 15 percent is uh honest with us or maybe it is because the engine is in the front so yeah it's it's it's a little iffy however the one thing i do love is the 15 reverse speed just being able to get in and out it's nice 30 top 12 horsepower a ton 900 overall other than you know being able to get shot through the front just be like ah you pinned me you know and engines out all right so the gun it's 128 millimeter your standard penetration is 226 equivalent to some of the most recent tier viii's that they've added so like the sergeant slaughter the t-54 e2 and the roger dodger um the roger dodger does outmatch this tank though with premium ammunition because the roger dodger gets like 282 and the icebreaker right here only gets like 265 or 263 with this premium but the gun 18.2 second reload that is just it hurts it hurts a lot you know you get into a game even with a fully trained crew brothers in arms a gun rammer improved ventilation you can get it down to 14.4 it's it's a it's an all right reload the alpha is 490 so you do see a lot of really nice high rolls occasionally a 600 so it's not bad especially since you're a back turret and you can sidescrape really well now the aim time at 2.7 i'm running vertical stabilizers on this to help counteract gun dispersion and a little bit of the aim time gun dispersion at 0.39 it is up there you do with a lot of rounds as today i'd say i'm lucky to hit like half of what i fire that's what it feels like but honestly whenever it does hit it feels great so accuracy on the move accuracy on rotating turret trying to snap shot in this tank you don't really want to try to snap shot you can't attempt it as long as you have a fully trained crew with smooth ride and snapshot but 3.28 on moving tank you'd be better off coming to a complete stop locking on waiting half a second and then firing the trigger and that should really help you out now max elevation at 15 degrees this thing struggles to back up a hill to be able to take a shot especially since the turrets on the back it's it's really weird to play with a rear mounted tank so it's it's like the mouse or the panzer 7 that i've been playing as of recent and the mouse is just fun armor all over the place so um max gun depression at 5 degrees you're you're going to really struggle on those ridgeline fights you'd be better off looking for more flat areas or slight hills and just trying to avoid you know fighting a medium tank of 10 degrees on a hill because you're going to get outmatched every single time you'd be better off pulling back down at the bottom of the hill or trying to use a corpse and push a corpse over the hill to help you use your turret armor and your hall armor now the tracks on this uh they can take a 120 millimeter shell before they break it like the first one will damage them and not track you unless you you know get shot from the side it's an insta track plus damage but 22 degrees of rotation it's it's slow but it's fast you're not gonna be able to outmatch light tanks coming after you it's gonna be really hard to get your gun on them so parking yourself against a wall or using a rock to try and counteract the light tank would be your best bet with rotation but the one thing i do love about this tank is it's hard and medium so well soft and medium your soft is one your medium is 1.35 so you don't feel too much of a difference with your traverse speed but on soft oh yeah 1.95 you lose half your power to weight and you know 6.7 power to weight it's just oh man yeah you feel like a slug now the turret 20 degrees of rotational speed so even if you're doing a full rotation with your tracks and trying to spin your turret you're only going to be looking at 42 in total but view range at 380 380 is a little bit shy you know whenever you uh if you're not running coded optics but you have a good crew and you're running uh ventilation and a premium consumable you're looking at about 448 total view range with 380. and the radio 710 it's not too bad that's assist damage we'll get into that later in the future looking to get a couple of people together to be able to make a video about that for camouflage spot and assist uh your standard rounds they are ap your premiums or apcr so standard rounds being ap i actually there is one thing i can say about this tank your standard rounds are only 1050. they have a 14.4 second reload and in my opinion that that's really nice for making money so you shoot a shell 14 seconds later you shoot another shell that's a thousand damage maybe and in return doing a thousand damage within two shots inside of a heavy tank it you're you're gonna make money i've had a couple of matches today where i've already made like a hundred and ninety two thousand or a hundred and ten thousand and then your apcr travels at one thousand one hundred and fifty meters a second so those are pretty quick rounds now let's jump into the armor here 270 on that flat plate there um it don't feel like 270. i've had some tanks that i know don't have anywhere close to 270 even with premium go through that flat spot so just keep in mind you know heavy angles or trying to keep your lower plate covered as much as possible your top plate at 180 is fantastic that top plate is just wonderful low plated 160 coming around the corner you can probably hit about this angle coming around a corner not against tier 10s but against like tier sevens and tier sixes and bait shots just don't overexpose the side armor don't let them get the track shot and do damage now your top armor is only 40 millimeters and since this is a rear rear mounted turret and your engine is dead center this is what i wanted to get into so the engine location it's just you get overmatched by 122s 128s so when those hit your fuel tanks right on top you're gonna get set on fire and that's what i was talking about about the 15 chance they lied oh and another thing look at that ammo i i i have no comment just don't let them behind you hopefully they shoot the center mass of the back rather than aiming just a little bit on the outsides but the turret on the other hand 250 nice and flat you do you do a little bit of an angle they still can't penetrate your 160 side armor and then you jump your 250 from 250 up to about 260 to 265. so about let's say if you look at them about there that is the angle you're gonna want to try and hit but if you're versing tier 10s or tier nines and they're loading premium or heat or ap just all they have to do is try and hit closest to the cheek and it'll just go right through it other than that against tier sevens and tier sixes this turret holds up really well the downfall though that hatch gigantic it is a little thick at 160 and coming over a hill they're mostly going to be seeing the low plate more than the hatch but the hatch is still gigantic i mean just look at that thing it's huge for long range it's a lot harder to hit this thing at long range it is a smaller hatch from a distance and then with the hull armor and everything else that it has it holds up extremely well this is a side scraper entirely with 100 millimeters of side armor as well just overall 100 try to avoid over angling or getting over matched which i don't know any gun in the game that can over match 100 millimeters so all right got a replay for you guys today this is oh tundra winter and oh man took nine minutes to get here i need to start working on my times but there's a lot to go over it's an it's a new tank a lot of people you know they're going to be looking at it and want full detail my opinion for it uh there's no point to go over the camo rating the camera rating it's it's just .07 stationary i mean if you're behind large bushes yes you can stay fully concealed but the second that they get within i'd say 310 meters you're going to get spotted other than that 1600 head points at max for a heavy tank 1600 especially in tier 8 is actually quite a bit there's only a couple of them that have 1600 so the vk16801p which is another tier 8 super heavy has 1600 hit points and then the low the low only has 1650 so the low's got more armor more overall health i want to say armor i think the low has less armor the then the tiger ii has 1650 the trade-off is you get 128 millimeter gun with 490 alpha so it's a really nice tank but the replay i got for you guys today uh today was really fun we ran into a crapload of artillery shooting ap rounds and i got insta killed all 1600 hit points gone you know i wanted to use that replay but i got wiped out like halfway into the match and i was like uh that happened so far though the icebreaker it's top speed at 30. it's slow getting into the fight but once it's there it's got the armor to hold um my first match inside no my second match inside this tank i was pulling out nice and slow and it was a tier 10 you know just it was on sunset coast and we were just cruising up to the middle and i got detected so i just did a slight angle i turned my turret left you know cover the hatch a tad bit raised the gun a little bit to try and cover the hatch a little bit more and i ricocheted 3 000 damage within the matter of maybe like seven seconds and never got pinned so this armor holds up extremely well i've even ricocheted a yaguru off the side armor so it's it holds up well so far though i'm actually really impressed with this tank i mean the reload compared to pc which i don't want to compare it to pc is like one second difference gun dispersion on pc is 0.37 so here on console we get 0.39 but you know what it's like the the difference between point zero one it's not that big of a difference i mean it makes a little bit of an effect you know it's like that that one half inch and that that's about it but so far i i feel like it's going to be a really good addition to anyone's garage if they want to get their hands on it just because it's it just feels nice and right there i wanna this is something i wanna throw out um my first shell penetrated at that angle and that's because i was firing ap rounds ap rounds readjust by five degrees on impact and apcr only readjust by two degrees so maybe if i was firing ap i would have hit him and right here i was kind of like i don't want to go head-to-head against that type five let's see if we can get a side shot and 527 straight to the side of the inferno and broke his gun that was that was a little nice shot the top plate that was a extreme angle against that sta and speaking of which there are three black tanks they're giving out some ops right now so get out there and grind i think it's 75 000 experience and you get your choice between the adc the super lightly armored medium it's got good camouflage at 0.3 and then you have the t-34-3 and the sta-2 black that they're giving out this month so get out there get some experience maybe two days of playing you know put about 30 matches in and you got it now knowing that we're really low on tanks getting a little bit aggressive can be the play to make so that's what i'm trying to do here i'm willing to risk my hit points for my team because the type 4 is a big threat especially since left side just fell and we have four tanks on this right side that we need to take care of a tier 9 in front of us i am going to be loading premium to try and take him down as quickly as i can and right there you know just beautiful somebody got a side shot in from behind him or off to the right allowed me to finish them off with my 490 alpha honestly though the 490 alpha on a tier 8 tank it feels just ridiculous to be honest with you being able to i mean you reload at 14.4 seconds does slow down your dpm a tad bit but overall being able to hit somebody in a tier 8 and see a high roll for like 600 oh it feels so good now the mauson if he would have pushed up with this type 4 we probably would have lost this area sti another icebreaker nice little snapshot right there didn't even worry about aiming and just took a shot i didn't want to sit there too long because there's a type 4 and an sti and as i realized this tank's pretty tall and i was like wait a minute can i get shots over this yeah i can and fired it looks like it probably hit the top of the tank in ricochet and he's getting behind the rock there's no shots there looking to see if he'll pop out in the corner i looked at the map and realized he's done he's not coming back so far though it's six minutes in we've done 3500 as middle tier and most of our damage was against tier nines so it's not too bad and it just tracked yeah that's that's one thing about firing premium rounds premium rounds have different mechanics and standard rounds because originally you paid gold for them and they didn't want them to be pay to win so what they did was is that any sort of spaced armor so like tracks or anything else they have a higher chance of being absorbed and i don't even know where that shell hit but alpha got him down so that was a little uh he had me panicking and i don't want to make the video too long so we're going to go ahead and take this because it goes for a while alpha gets slapped by artillery and then light tank gets knocked out artillery basically pop shot somebody else slowly goes this is about a good four minutes so i just don't want to kick back and monologue for four minutes because what exactly wasn't that exciting i was look trying to get a good replay for today but just struggled getting the matches in we kept on getting top tier but everyone saw the new tank and they all wanted to shoot it but that was actually not that bad of a match you know we had a team rolling at the time and you know we we had communication with our numbers and it just played out a lot better but so far yeah i really don't mind the icebreaker it's not too bad of a tank um a couple things that i would throw out though it is slow you know if you're getting this and you're expecting to be fast you're you're not fast you are not fast at all that 30 top speed with 12 horsepower ton 12 horsepower ton is just abysmal it's just you're not gonna hit your top speed all the time i i've noticed that i was lucky to hit like 25 on flatland occasionally and i mean look at the crew you know i've got a good crew i'm running premium consumables and it's like i still felt this thing being held back a tad bit but so far is it worth it yeah i'd say it's worth it it feels like a tank destroyer got slapped together with like a vk-100 so yeah you know if you guys are looking to get this tank i'd recommend it um i have no problems with it whenever i get an ace tanker inside this thing if i'm recording at the time i'll try and get that out there but yeah i'd say do you guys want it it's it's cheap honestly it's under 10 000 gold and you got some other heavies out there that are like 15 000. it's like oh that hurts you know but this under 10k for just a regular package yeah dude get it it's a solid tank well you guys have a great day and uh yeah catch the stream on saturday and monday madness was yesterday so if you guys want to check out monday madness i'll see if i can get posted up inside this video too so yeah you guys have a great day i mean it might be at the top left you know i i'd be pointing there but i i don't know it should be there is it left or is it right i don't know i might be pointing the wrong way oh well don't have a camera you

YQeQprUoVfE | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YQeQprUoVfE | Sunday Service August 16, 2020 | [Music] good morning and welcome to our unitarian universalist cooperative summer worship series for 2020. i'm kendall gibbons senior minister at the all souls uu church in kansas city missouri when our congregations pivoted suddenly to online worship back in march in response to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic we all had to invent new formats and adapt to new technologies [Music] instantly many of our ministers and tech staff and volunteers rose to the occasion with great creativity and skill [Music] now during our traditional summer break and study time we take this opportunity to share our discoveries and learn from each other through a series of virtual visits to sunday services with a cluster of our neighbor congregations through the gift of online worship you will hear from some of our newest up-and-coming young preachers and some of our wisest senior colleagues you will experience how a variety of congregations have embraced the challenges of these new formats and our sound video and streaming tech folks will enjoy a little well-deserved time off look for our separate community online gatherings to resume in september we hope that today's message will rouse your spirit and resonate with your soul welcome to the unitarian church of lincoln on this sunday morning my name is the reverend oscar sinclair each week since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic last march our congregation has gathered together at least twice on thursday night where we tend to our community and each other directly on zoom and in this service on sunday morning on youtube on sunday morning whether in our building or on youtube we throw open the doors of the church proclaiming the radical welcome and love that is at the heart of our faith the unitarian church of lincoln aspires to be a loving community uniting reason with spiritual exploration to transform ourselves and the world [Music] and in the summer of 2020 we know that transformation is necessary this is the place and time to practice transformation who can you be how will you be in the world in times of anxiety and pandemic and fear what is the highest and best selves we are called to be this is where we practice we begin this morning wherever you are by taking a moment to center yourself in the space and time you are in let go of what you have been carrying be present in this moment this space take a few deep breaths and let us begin [Music] now today's chalice lighting comes to us from the reverend sean denison in praise of praise yes even now when so much is broken praise tears that will not be held back witness to the immeasurable beauty of the smile of a six-year-old gunned down by those who praise nothing yes even now when so much is at risk praise the blood that pulses its systole and diastole rhythm dancing to and from the heart even when the sky is smoke and our masks have become an ordinary necessity yes even now when so much is struggle praise bodies that sweat and tremble muscles tense with embodied comprehension that we are headed the wrong way and the irresistible urge to change direction a glorious clumsy prodigal return yes especially now when so much is at stake praise something anything so alive and extravagant that it awakens and calls you to discard despair abandon apathy and praise whatever brings you back to life comfort [Music] me [Music] comfort me with me sing with me sing with me all my songs [Music] sing with me sing [Music] speak for me speak for me oh my soul speak for me with me dance with me [Applause] dance with me [Music] dance with me [Music] comfort me [Music] hello my name is chelsea krafka and i am the director of religious education at the unitarian church of lincoln today we're going to be reading a story called stay through the storm there's a storm coming it's brewing in the distance heading our way but stay stay through the storm i'll be with you i'll hold your umbrella we'll find your warmest coat and your shiny rain boots we'll splash through puddles and when the wind begins to blow will run inside so stay don't leave me i'll stay with you as the rain pours down on the roof we'll sit by the fire sipping hot cocoa and play our favorite game and when the storm picks up and bolts of lightning flash across the sky you might wonder if it will ever end but stay through the storm i'll be right here we'll be safe together when the thunder roars we can make a fort and count the seconds between the lightning and thunder so we'll know whether the storm is close or far and when you're scared you can tell me i get scared sometimes too stay with me and when the wind howls and all the lights go out we'll find flashlights so stay you don't have to be alone i'll stay with you through this storm and the next and when the storm passes we'll go outside and find a rainbow arching all the way across the sky but most of all we'll find that we are stronger together because we stayed with each other and before the next storm comes and the darkness blocks the light again we'll make a promise to be together stay with me i'll stay with you and we'll never be alone and that is the end of our story [Music] march 15th of 2020 was one of the hardest days of my ministry at least so far the thursday before on march 12th the safety response team here at the unitarian church of lincoln had met over zoom and decided that in response to the covet 19 pandemic we would close the church building effective monday the 16th we decided to stay open for one more weekend in part to tell the congregation in person and in part because i don't think any of us had really come to terms with what was happening at least for me i can say that i did not leave public policy spend half a decade racking up student loans graduate from seminary interview get called moved to nebraska so that i could be the minister who presided over closing a church march 15th was the last time we gathered for worship in this sanctuary jill jarvis preached and we distributed as many hard copies of a guide to logging on to zoom and youtube as we could this is the beginning of my fourth year in lincoln and for most of that time when colleagues have been from back east have asked how are things in nebraska i would answer this congregation is alive i come to work at the office on a tuesday morning and and dodge montessori kids playing out front then wave to the retirees arriving for ali classes before settling down in my office to write a sermon sermon writing that is interrupted in a solid stream by our members dropping by the office to say hi as difficult as those interruptions are for an introvert minister they are profoundly beautiful more than just about anywhere i've served there is a feeling about this place that it is alive our services are loud we try new things the congregation bless them laughs at jokes in worship so when i tell you that i struggled in mid-march you should know this the thing that i have loved for years about this community became the thing that we had to move away from quickly this sense of busyness vitality possibility that felt like electricity every time we gathered in this place became a sense of anxiety and question we're doing the right thing because how could we possibly capture the joy of being together in this new world that we've been thrown into on earth how do i say with a straight face that we are a church practicing social distancing whatever social distancing means what i have said for years that the reason the churches are important as institutions is that they meet our profound need as human human beings to connect with each other in person to gather and recognize our shared humanity our imperfections and beauty how could we do that on zoom ultimately i think this is a question of hope hope in its most straightforward sense wanting the world as it is to be more like the world as it ought to be to know that things are imperfect and believe that they might be just a little bit different if we can't imagine what or how the world ought to be how we might do this thing where do we find hope in march we knew a storm was coming and as much as we wanted to say as a church and as the story this morning put it that when the storm picks up and bolts of lightning flash across the sky you might wonder if it will ever end but stay stay through the storm i'll be right there we'll be safe together it's hard to say that because the ways we've stayed together through storms in the past had to change staying afloat in this difficult time is done by keeping a tight grip on hope and a tight grip even if it's a virtual grip on community each week we mark joys and sorrows when we gather together here we share our lives the things that are joyful developments as well as sorrowful ways as the next song plays and you enjoy the music please feel free to type your name or the name of someone that you're holding in your heart whether it's with joy or sorrow type in the chat box to the right of this video i wish you all i wish you well i pray for peace [Music] i pray for peace [Music] i pray for peace [Music] wish i pray for peace i pray for me [Music] is i pray for peace [Music] i wish [Music] i wish i pray for you i pray for peace i wish [Music] i pray for peace [Music] [Applause] [Music] and now these three remain the apostle paul wrote hope faith and love faith hope and love that is but the greatest of these is love and yeah without love our words are empty they are like a banging symbol and sounding gong unitarian universalists are the love people without love we are empty the uua board this summer charging a task force to re-examine our seven principles told it to root its work in love as a principle guide in its work attending particularly to the ways that we and our root traditions have understood and articulated love and how we have acted out of love i have preached on love i will preach on love our whole universalist tradition is grounded in an understanding of expansive love that proclaims that everyone every one is beloved i don't struggle much with love i know it every day i see my daughter i know it most days when i sit down to record a three to five minute video for the congregation i serve my life has been transformed by love and i will preach about that for the rest of my life i don't struggle much with love i struggle with hope there's a story in the hebrew scripture of jacob jacob is described as a calculating whip smart young man who flees from his home after cheating his brother esau out of his inheritance years later jacob returns home to either reconcile with his family or be held accountable for his actions and on the night before he meets his brother he goes to a cave to pray he doesn't know what's about to happen and he's met there by a stranger an angel who he wrestles with until dawn demanding a blessing for the days to come and while jacob is hurt in the struggle the angel eventually blesses him naming jacob israel one who has struggled with the divine finding hope in the midst of pandemic and reckoning with our legacies of inequality and trauma and climate change feels a little like wrestling with an angel hoping we can find a blessing demand a blessing before our hip gives in one of the reasons i struggle with hope is that i'm a relatively concrete thinker i came to this job out of public policy public policy you could say is is defined by the articulation in concrete terms of hope i find myself these days wanting something concrete something solid to hold on to some sense that in x months with y is an intervention that will result in outcome z of course that's not the world we live in right now i don't think we do ourselves or our congregations any favors when we pretend that hope is easy to find but paul didn't put hope right there with faith and love because it is easy to have hope is to understand even in this moment that this is not the only possible world the poet adrian rich wrote my heart is moved by all i cannot save so much has been destroyed i have to cast my lot with those who age after age perversely with no extraordinary power reconstitute the world this is the essence of hope to cast our lot with those who age after age reconstitute the world hope anchors us connects us with that sense of possibility of reconstitution even for us concrete thinkers it gives us a thing to hold on to and in doing that it allows us to move forward i want to be very clear about one thing the members of the unitarian church of lincoln and i suppose everyone watching this know that i have over the last decade of my life struggled with both anxiety and clinical depression so i hope you understand that that i know what i'm saying when i tell you that there are times when you can't find hope and the answer is not prayer or community but medical help and even for a person who's whose job is what it is for me untangling the difference between existential anxiety and clinical depression can be really really hard and so it is always better to err on the side of asking for help and figuring it out with professionals but given that caveat there's a place for religious communities in finding hope because it's in these places whether online or in person that we practice the world that we hope for and when we get it right and we don't always but when we get it right uu congregations give us a kind of harbor in the midst of uncertainty a port to pause in during the storm before venturing out again if we couple hundred people in lincoln nebraska or kansas city or columbus ohio can be together as a community of diverse background and theology with a shared commitment to justice and a better world then who's to say that a better world isn't possible in the fullness of time who's to say that we shouldn't hope love is too much for one poem by sean dennison love is too much for one poem it bears repetition needs it to get to all its complexities the things that make you wonder if anyone believes or begins to fathom it at all how could they things are never what they seem never what one hopes when love is involved all the possibilities are only that only things that could be that nothing really endures because love changes us all every one of us things are never what they seem three plus three is suddenly seven and things that were are no longer and yet we endure because we long for love and keep faith with it beyond all boundaries all hope all reason love is too much for one poem but still we try we cannot help ourselves the subject demands it of us demands our greatest effort the work of an entire lifetime though we know these words will never be enough and our effort is destined for failure still we capture what we can and love do the czech statesman and literary figure wrote that hope is an orientation of the spirit an orientation of the heart it transcends the world that is immediately experienced and is anchored somewhere beyond its horizons hope in this deep and powerful sense is not the same as joy that things are going well or of willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success but rather an ability to work for something because it is good not just because it stands a chance to succeed havel writes that hope is being anchored beyond the horizons of the experienced world hope is not being content with the world as it is and we're pretty good at that as unitarian universalists we are well versed at discontent and we are clear and getting clearer about pointing to the injustices of the world and proclaiming that this is wrong but where i think we struggle is in making the positive case right now the case that not only critiques the world as it is but points to the world as it ought to be what is the anchor somewhere out beyond the horizon that draws us on usually when we think of anchors we think of them as something to keep us in place to hold to hold us to anchor us literally to hold us steady as the world around us moves but historically and in sailing there's at least one other use for an anchor so imagine for a moment you're on a sailing ship in the 19th century it's big 150 maybe 200 feet long there aren't any motors or ores on the ship itself the ship is designed to work with the wind and when you're out the open sea with the wind at your back the ship just flies but how do you get out of port what do you do when the wind isn't at your back but coming straight in your face what do you do when you're stuck in the dole drums know when to be had at all there's a process in sailing called warping you take a kedge anchor a kind of c-shaped anchor and put it in a row boat and a crew rows it as far as they can out in front of the ship 100 yards 200 yards and then drops the anchor and the crew left aboard the ship hall on the anchor line not to bring the anchor up but to bring the ship slowly over top of it and then the crew pulls the anchor up puts it back on the row boat and the row boat rows another 100 yards drops the anchor and repeats the process it is not a fast process and it is back-breaking work but in this way even the largest ship can move forward so we can think of an anchor as a kind of quite literal motivation when the wind is against us and that is also a distinctive aspect of hope because unlike a kind of naive optimism hope does not require that the wind be at our backs there's not more to a certain understanding of the experienced world rather hope is a kind of faith statement anchoring us but anchoring us over the horizon past what we can see and that's what we need right now because make no mistake the months since we closed the building here in lincoln have been some of the hardest of this congregation's history the profound challenge of the movement for black lives requires those of us who have moved through the world with privilege to do hard at times thankless work to engage and change the systems that we've set up and participated in for generations there's a presidential election of some consequence coming up in less than 90 days and underlying and interweaving through it all is the existential threat of climate change and so if this sermon carries the sailing metaphor forward then right now we are in the midst of a huge storm when the winds cannot be counted on to help us move forward and i i still can't articulate exactly what i hope for in this moment hope is the thing i struggle with a better world yes specifics are harder but i can tell you that i feel it every time i log on to zoom and i see our members faces i feel it when i show up at nebraska's capitol building with a few thousand of my closest friends all wearing masks but seeing each other as clearly as we have in years i hear it when my daughter learns a new word i know it when we gather on sunday and so like the story goes when the wind howls and all the lights go out we'll find flashlights so stay you don't have to be alone i'll stay with you through this storm and the next and when the storm passes we'll go outside and find a rainbow arcing all the way across the sky but most of all we'll find that we were stronger because we stayed with each other before the next storm comes and the darkness blocks the light again we'll make a promise to be together so hold on to hope drop an anchor out over the horizon and we will go there together be it peace beloveds and amen each week we take up an offering to support this congregation and our partners in the wider world we do this because we all benefit from this congregation in ways both seen and unseen and we all give back to the congregation in ways both seen and unseen whether that be volunteering financially working on the grounds making sure there's beautiful art in our gallery there are many many ways that we engage with the work in this church while we're in this time of physical distancing and outside of our building we give primarily through text on sunday morning so if you would like to try text giving this morning simply text uc lincoln and the amount you wish to give to 73256 again that's uc lincoln and the amount you wish to give to 73256 thank you for your generosity don't you see i don't you see i am but there is but there's something between [Music] is don't you see me [Music] me [Music] am you are me that's what i said i am you are me don't you see i am [Music] together [Music] i am a part [Music] i am inside your head you are inside my heart [Music] from as we close our time together and extinguish our chalice the ask is a simple one be the church because hope is not an individual endeavor we grow in hope when we grow in community and in love so reach out to each other embody hope in your communities be the church and we'll do it together amen so do you | Unitarian Church of Lincoln | UCbQ6y1CmHO9tg6aAmluXlKQ | 2020-08-16 | Creative Commons Attribution license

CCKUw1Go2vs | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCKUw1Go2vs | TOT 06 Nailed to His Cross | [Music] [Applause] in the study of the Scriptures we find many warnings from the Lord to help us in our upward journey one of those warnings is found in Isaiah chapter 30 verse 21 Isaiah chapter 30 verse 21 says and thine ears shall hear a word behind he's saying this is the way walkie in it when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left these warnings are there to be able to help us to always bring us back on track we tend to have we tend to go off paths a lot it seems like so the Holy Spirit's going to be there to warn us to bring us back to the path now there are many parts of scriptures that are quite easy to understand we can read this story we can understand them quite simply but there are some parts of the Bible that a little bit more difficult of comprehension we find is written down in 2nd Peter chapter 3 verses 14 through 17 says wherefore beloved seeing that you look for such things be diligent the mev found of him and peace without spot and blameless in account that the long-suffering of our Lord is salvation even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him has written unto you as in all his epistles speaking in them of things in which are some things hard to be understood which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest as they do the other scriptures unto their own destruction so here it shows that Apostle Paul has written some things that are hard to be understood and those people who want to they twist what he has said to their own destruction just like they do other scriptures and by the way this is another evidence that the New Testament is also called scriptures now when it says it is hard to be understood it does not mean impossible there's a big difference between hard and impossible these things may be hard to be understood but they are not impossible with the Holy Spirit's guidance we are able to have some understanding of these things whenever we find things in the Bible that are hard to be understood it simply shows us that the Scriptures is of divine origin just like God there's not everything that we can understand about God and so there are many things that are secret that are not revealed unto us in Deuteronomy chapter 29 and verse 29 did Iran imme 29 and verse 29 the secret things belonging to the Lord our God but those things which are revealed belonging to us and to our children forever that we may do all the words of this law so there are things that are secret those things which belong only unto God but those things that are revealed they are revealed to us and to our children so we may do all the words of this law but in order for us to understand them we must have a teachable mind we must be willing to understand it says in John 7:17 If any man will do his will he shall know the doctrine what I speak of God or whether I speak of myself in order for us to understand the doctrines properly we must have a willingness to understand these things now some of those things that our secret happen to have been made known through the Apostle Paul Romans chapter 16 verses 25 and 26 Romans chapter 16 verses 25 and 26 it says now to him that is of power to establish you according to my gospel and the preaching of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery which was kept secret since the world began but now is made manifest and by the scriptures of the prophets according to the commandment of the everlasting God made known of all nations for the obedience safe so some of these things which were secret those things which are mysterious for all eternal ages they have now been revealed and some of them were revealed to Paul but keep in mind there are some things that Paul wrote that are hard to be understood and as only as we take the Holy Spirit to guide us remember we read there in the last previous of the last lesson that that when he the Spirit of Truth has come he will guide you into all truth remember when we were studying about the Holy Spirit it is only as we pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit that we can have the true understanding of these things but keep in mind as we study these issues that what part of this scripture is important for us to study let's look at 2nd Timothy 3 verses 16 and 17 again 2nd Timothy 3:16 and 17 all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness so all Scripture is given for us to understand one of these points in which there are difficulties in studying the scriptures in regard to the law of God it's very difficult for some people as they study the Bible to realize that the Bible speaks about two different laws in our last lesson we studied about the moral law of God about the law that is eternal that is always going to last and I just like to read a few statements about the law that is eternal I'm not going to spend too much time on that one I want to spend a little bit of time about that law that has come in afterwards let us look at James chapter 2 verses 8 and 9 James chapter 2 verses 8 and 9 it says if you fulfilled a royal law according to the scripture thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself you do well if you have respect to persons be commit sin and are convinced of the law as transgressors so we find here speaking about the Royal law so James who is writing in the Christian dispensation speaks about the Royal royal law now which law is this royal law what did it say there it says if you fulfill the royal law according to the Scriptures thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself you remember the words of Jesus when the rich young ruler came to him he told him about two laws one that loves to God and one that is loving your neighbor as yourself so when we're speaking here about the royal law it includes something that is called here love your neighbor as thyself so the royal law is the law that says love your neighbor as yourself now which law is this law that says love your neighbor as thyself what do we mean by loving your neighbor as yourself let us look at Romans chapter 13 and verse 9 Romans chapter 13 and verse 9 for thou shalt not commit adultery thou shalt not kill thou shalt not steal thou shalt not bear false witness thou shall not covet and if there be any other commandment it is briefly comprehended in this saying namely thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself now by the way any other commandment is that singular or plural it is singular so let us take a look here when it says love your neighbor as yourself what does it really mean does it sound familiar these statements we say the first one says thou shalt not commit adultery that you will recognize to be the seventh commandment the next one says thou shalt not kill that you'll recognize as the sixth commandment and then it says thou shalt not steal that again is the eighth commandment and then it goes on shall not bear false witness that is your ninth commandment and thou shalt not covet which is your tenth commandment so here you find it one aspect of the Ten Commandments are mentioned as thou shalt love your neighbor as yourself but it goes on he says and if there be any other singular commandment singular any other commandment it is briefly comprehended in this thing thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself and the only other commandment that has reference to our neighbour is the fifth commandment that is not in relationship to God himself so you find here when it says that the Royal law when James is talking about the Royal law being that law that says thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself Paul gives the illustration that we are talking here about this part of the Ten Commandments so the Royal law includes is that law that includes these particular points so we're talking about the moral law as we were studying quite in-depth in our last lesson now let us consider for a few minutes about the purpose of Jesus coming to this world why did Jesus come here let us look at Matthew chapter 1 verse 21 and she shall bring forth a son and thou shalt call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins Jesus means what he shall save his people from from their sins it does not say he shall save his people in their sins but he shall save his people from their sins now what do we mean by Sid being saved from sin what do we mean when we say that we need to repent and be saved from sin what is then you know what sin is the Bible has only one definition of sin in Romans chapters 7 and verse 7 romans 7 and verse 7 what shall we say then is the law sin god forbid nay i had not known sin but by the law for I had not known lust except the law had said thou shalt not covet so here it mentions that what is sin I don't even know what sin is unless I have a law so without the law there is no knowledge of sin we in order to know what sin is in order to be able identify sin we must be able to have the law of God and here it mentions which law it's that law that says thou shalt not cut it so here again is mentioned this long so without this law what we call the moral law the Ten Commandments without that law we don't know what sin is and we're not only talking about the last 10 it talks about loving your neighbor yourself the last part but we're also talking here about the first part of the Ten Commandments to speak about our relationship to God so Jesus is coming in this world to save us from the violation of the law of God for these reasons the law has a specific purpose let's look in Galatians 3 and verse 24 Galatians 3 and verse 24 it says wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ that we might be justified by faith so the schoolmaster here is not a teacher the word here schoolmaster actually was a truant officer the fathers played back in the days of the Greeks the pedagogue he was the father's slave who would grab the son and he was taken to school and he would do everything necessary to make sure he gets to school and so the law of God the Ten Commandments is there to make sure that we get to Jesus that we realized the need to get to Christ so we find that this law is the law that identifies sin if this law thing Commandments was abolished in the cross then we would not need repentance today repentance would be unnecessary because Jesus would have gotten rid of law and we would not know what sin is but sin is still existent because that law is a studies again I mentioned in the last lesson God law is eternal also we know that there is a judgement in Ecclesiastes chapter 11 verse 9 Ecclesiastes chapter 11 and verse 9 it says rejoice o young men and a youth and let thy heart cheer D in the days of thy youth and walk in the ways of the heart and in the sight of thy eyes that no doubt it for all these things God will bring the into judgment you see there is a judgment coming every single one of us are going to have to have a judgment we're going to have to be affected in the judgment and how do we know that every one of us are going to be in the judgment let's look at Romans chapter 14 and verse 10 Romans chapter 14 and verse 10 he says that why does thou judge thy brother or why does thou said it not thy brother for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ so every one of us are going to be judged now we're judged there must be something to be judged by what are we going to be judged by in the judgement let's go back again to James chapter 2 and verse 12 James chapter 2 and verse 12 it says so speak ye and so do as David shall be judged by the law of Liberty so again here is mentioned the law of Liberty and in this context let's go back a little bit verses 8 through 12 so we can see the whole context of what is the law of Liberty what is that royal law it says here if you fulfill the royal law according to the scripture thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself you do well but if you have respective persons he commits sin and are convinced of the law as transgressors for whose server shall keep the whole law and yet offend in one point he is guilty of all he just said do not commit adultery said also do not kill now thou commit no adultery but if thou killed there were become a transgressor of the law so speak ye and so do as they that shall be judged by the law of Liberty so all of these verses here are combined together the Royal law the law of Liberty all these terms have reference to the Ten Commandments but now we see clearly that this law was eternal always existed but now there is another law a law that did not exist before sin you see this law would have to exist before Adam and Eve sinned if this law did not exist before Adam and Eve sinned there would be no sin and so let's just put it here and abort a little bit more for us to take a look at if we if this law the law Ten Commandments identifies sin then when we look at the time that sin entered the sin entered into this world in the time of Adam and Eve now Adam and Eve were created before sin and they were living in the Garden of Eden before sin entered in now what is sin sin is transgression of the law sin is violation of this law if sin is the violation of that law and sin entered here then the law must have been in existence at that time to reveal that sin so this law of Ten Commandments must have existed here without that law there would be no knowledge of sin but now another law was also introduced it was not the law of Ten Commandments in Ephesians chapter 2 verse 15 it speaks about this law Ephesians chapter 2 and verse 15 having abolished in his flesh the enmity even the law of and contained in ordinances for to make in himself of twain one you man so making peace so speaking about Jesus what did he do when he came to this world when he lived a life here it says what he came to call cross of Calvary what happened there was a law that has Commandments contained in ordinances and what did he do he abolished that law this law was abolished now if this verse has reference to the Ten Commandments then we will never need Jesus anymore we don't need to come to Jesus because if it was Ten Commandments then sin no longer exists there is nothing right and there's nothing wrong everything is right so this law containing ordinances what is this law contained in ordinances let's look at Colossians chapter 2 verse 14 what was this law that was done away with Colossians chapter 2 and verse 14 blotting out the handwriting of Ordinances that was against us which was contrary to us and took it out of the way nailing it to his cross so there was a law it containing ordinances that was nailed to the cross so there is a law that was nailed on the cross that does not exist anymore it is finished it is done with now which law is this as this talking about the Ten Commandments law is it according to this verse here it says blotting out the handwriting of Ordinances that was against us that was contrary to us is the Ten Commandments that way let us take a look as God created Adam and Eve in Genesis chapter 1 and verse 31 Genesis 1 verse 31 says and God saw everything that he had made and behold it was very good so when God created Adam and Eve and the law was existent the Ten Commandments law was existence at that time God said it was very good and yet in Colossians there's a law there that says what that that law is contrary to us it is against us it had enmity against us so this cannot be speaking about the Ten Commandments it is impossible and besides those Ten Commandments are of eternal nature let's look at Matthew 5 verse 17 and 18 Matthew chapter 5 verses 17 and 18 think not that I am come to destroy the law or the prophets I am not come to destroy but to fulfil for verily I say unto you till heaven and earth pass one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled so Jesus makes it very clear here that Jesus did not come to get rid of that law oh no he did not come to get rid of it he came to fulfill it and that's why it says in the next verse as long as heaven and earth is around that law still will be there so that law clearly is still in existence but what is this law of ordinances then what law are we talking about here that contains ordinances let's go back to Colossians chapter 2 verses 16 through 21 Colossians chapter 2 verses 16 through 21 let no man therefore judge you in meat or in drink or in respect of an holyday or of the new moon or the Saturdays which are a shadow of things to come notice here these things are what they are a shadow of things to come here it mentions of the sabbath days there were seven yearly sabbath that were a shadow of things to come in the jewish economy now what does it mean they were a shadow of things to come is there a law that the shadow of things to come is there a law that points forward to something in the future let's take a look at Hebrews chapter 10 verses one through four Hebrews chapter 10 verses one through four it says for the law again it mentions the law for the law having a shadow of good things to come Oh notice here in Colossians it mentions that the law was nailed to the cross and then it talks about that law which was a shadow of good things to come and here again it mentions that there is the law that was a shadow of good things to come and not the very image little thing can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect so the law that was nailed to the cross involves sacrifices it involves sacrifices so when we're talking about that law in Colossians and other places we talk about the law that was done away with we're not talking about this law because the Ten Commandments yuria from beginning to the end there are no sacrifices associated with it there is not one sacrifice but there is a law here that was nailed to the cross that involve sacrifices that was the law that was done away with let me read again verse of 1:3 form Hebrews chapter 10 verses 1 through 4 for the law having a shadow good things to come and not the very image of those things can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect so there were sacrifices they were offered year by year not just day by days but there were those that were yearly sacrifices those things as well for then would they not have ceased to be offered because that the worshipers once purged should have had no more remember to sin what was the problem with those sacrifices they may make the sacrifice but they still remember the sin if these sacrifices were of value then they would not remember their sins but in those sacrifices there is a remembrance again made of those sins every year for it is not possible the blood of bulls and of goats should take away sin the problem with that particular law that involved sacrifices was that the blood of animals cannot take away sin a blood of a bull of a goat of a sheep they cannot take away my sin for that reason that law had nothing to do with the Ten Commandments that was a law that involved sacrifices but Jesus the gospel can take away sin Jesus is able to do that for Romans 1:16 for and not ashamed of the gospel of Christ for it is the power of God unto salvation that gospel has something in it now among the first sacrifices that were made in this world was made by abel in hebrews chapter 11 verse 4 hebrews chapter 11 verse 4 record the one of those very first sacrifices it says by faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain by which he obtained witness that he was righteous God testifying of his gifts and by it he being dead yet speaketh so he find here that Abel offered sacrifices also unto God he was one of the very first men that did so and what did he offer as a sacrifice and why did he offer it let's go to Genesis chapter 4 verses 2 through 4 Genesis chapter 4 verses 2 through 4 he says and she again bare his brother Abel and Abel was a keeper of sheep but Cain was a tiller of the soil and in the process of time it came to pass that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord and Abel he also brought of the firstlings of his flock in other fat thereof and the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering what did Abel do Abel he brought of the firstlings of his flock in other words he brought of his flock in what flock that he had he had a flock of sheep and the first Ling is the young one so he brought a lamb now why did Abel bring a lamb what was the reason for bringing a lamb the John the Baptist made it very clear when he said in John 1:29 behold the lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world when he saw Jesus coming so right from the very beginning of this world's history they were offering a lamb to represent Jesus so was a lamb a shadow of good things to come was it pointing forward as something that was going to be better absolutely it was pointing forward to something better later on the Lord instituted the sanctuary service among the children of Israel and especially the Passover service in Exodus chapter 12 verse 5 he told them that they was to take a lamb that was without blemish to be the Passover lamb in 1st Peter 1 verse 19 1st Peter chapter 1 and verse 19 it talks about Jesus that lamb for as much as you know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things as silver and gold from your vain conversation received by tradition from your father's but with the precious blood of Christ as of a lamb without blemish and without spot so they were to take the lamb during the Passover service take a lamb and offer a spotless lamb as the Passover lamb well Jesus was a lamb without blemish and without spot and more especially it was the Passover lamb that represented Jesus Christ let us look at first Corinthians chapter 5 and verse 7 purge out therefore the old leaven that ye may be a new lump as ye are unleavened for even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us so Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us therefore Christ clearly is that Passover lamb but not only did able offer a sacrifice let us look at another sacrifice that was made in this also in the book of Genesis in Genesis chapter 3 verses 21 and 22 Genesis 3:21 and 22 and to Adam also enter his wife to the Lord God make coats of skins and clothed them now in order to make a coat of skin what is necessary quite clearly here you must kill an animal you cannot keep an animal alive and take their skin and make a coat out of it it is impossible well although this verse does not mention what type of animal did God use we believe by looking at Revelation chapter 13 verse 8 that this coat of skin must have been made from a lamb Revelation chapter 13 and verse 8 and all that dwell upon the earth shall worship Him whose names are not written in the book of life of the lamb slain from the foundation of the world so here it says that Jesus is the lamb slain from the foundation of the world and so it would be quite appropriate that that very first animal sacrifice was actually a lamb now why was a lamb slain right there at the very beginning what was God trying to impress our first parents let's again look at Hebrews chapter 9 this time let's look at verse 22 Hebrews chapter 9 and verse 22 and almost all things are by the law purged with blood and without the shedding of blood is no remission they have to be impressed upon their mind that unless there's a shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin now keep in mind did they need to shed blood before they send absolutely not they did not need to have shedding of blood so long as they were keeping the law there was no need for remission of sins it is only after sin after our first parents violated the law of God that there was needing a law that would bring about sacrifices to impress upon their mind that they need to have bloodshed in order to have their sins wiped clean for this reason we read in Colossians 2 verse 14 that he took those ordinances away and he nailed it to the cross those ordinances that had to do with the sacrificial system those that were a shadow of good things to come so right from the very beginning of the Garden of Eden when they had sinned and later on with Abel and others they began to perform animal sacrifices these animal sacrifices pointed forward to the plan of redemption effected by Jesus Christ it points forward at a time this Jesus would be the one that would die for them that it would be his blood that was shed that would take away their sins again this cannot be referring to the 10 commandments law because there's a blessing placed upon those who keep the law revelation 22:14 says blessed are they that do His commandments that they may have right to the Tree of Life and the answer enter the gates of the city so now why was the law done away with this other law not the moral law we're talking about this law that involved sacrifices and we used we have called it the ceremonial law because it involves ceremonies it is not dealing with a moral nature it's dealing with ceremonies that the purpose is to show us that coming Messiah that he can cleanse us from our sins why did it have to be done away with Hebrews chapter 7 verse 28 Hebrews 7 and verse 28 it says for the law maketh men high priest which have infirmity but the word of the oath which was since the law naked the son who is consecrated forevermore so here is a law that is mentioned here it is a law that maketh priests which law makes priests which is that law verse 19 for the law made nothing perfect but the bringing in a better hope did by the which we draw nigh unto God so we have a law here that makes men priests and it is that law that we're talking about here and again in that law that made priests that made animal sacrifices that law could not save anyone that law could not cleanse us from sin as we read in chapter 10 verse 1 for the law having a shadow of good things to come and not the very image of the things can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect it was impossible they could not make those who came there perfect it couldn't be done and so that law had to be abolished but the blood of Jesus can the blood of Jesus make someone perfect let us look at Hebrews chapter 9 verses 25 and 26 Hebrews chapter 9 verse 25 and 26 says nor yet that he should offer himself often as the high priest entered into the holy places every year with the blood of others for then must he often have suffered since the foundation of the world but now once in the end of the world has he appeared to put away sin by the sacrifice of himself so Jesus came here to do what to offer himself and as he offered himself he was able to put away sin and why was he able to do that keep in mind as we stated not very long ago Jesus is eternal God and as he came he died on the cross he was able to put away sins now why is it that it is only the blood of Jesus why is it that this blood is able to cleanse us from sin Acts chapter 4 and verse 12 Acts chapter 4 and verse 12 neither is there salvation in any other for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved there is no other name there is no other way there is no way to have salvation except through Jesus Christ and praise the Lord for that there is a way unfortunately the Jewish people on many occasions they refuse to look beyond the sacrificial system they could not see beyond they looked at the sacrifice itself and so what did they do let's look at Isaiah chapter 1 verses 10 through 15 Isaiah chapter 1 verses 10 through 15 what did they do says hear the word of the Lord ye rulers of Sodom give ear into the law of our God ye people of Gomorrah he's speaking to the Israelites here to what purpose is this multitude of your sacrifices unto me saith the Lord I am full of the burnt offerings of rams and the fat of fed beef and I delight not in the blood of Bullock's or of lambs or he goats when you come to appear before me who has required is at your hand to tread my courts bring no more vain ablations incense is an abomination to me the new moons and Sabbath the calling of assemblies I cannot away with it it is iniquity even a solemn meeting your new moons and your appointed feasts my soul hated they are troubling to me I am weary to bear them and when you spread forth your hands I will hide my face from you yay when you make many prayers I will not hear your hands are full of blood I don't want to hear it anymore I don't want to see it anymore I'm tired of your animal sacrifices they felt like to all I'm just going to go ahead and make an animal sacrifice and I'll commit a sin it's like I remember one time I was listening to the radio and a man called up and he says oh I'm just about ready to go on the way to do some adultery and the man said what do you mean you're going to go commit adultery says oh that's no problem because on my way home I'm going to and I'm going to stop by the church and take care of it what a sad situation this is exactly what the Jewish nation had come down to they had made a sacrifice all something in the meaning of the sacrifice nothing and for that reason Jesus realized and God decided they're going to get rid of that entire system because when Jesus came he is the one that could help them understand what it was all about in Psalm 51 verses 17 to 19 Psalm 51 verse 17 through 19 what are the sacrifices that God wants what does he really want from you and me the sacrifices of God are a broken spirit a broken and a contrite heart O God that will not despise do good in light pleasure unto Zion build out the walls of Jerusalem then shalt thou be pleased with a sacrifice of righteousness with burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings then shall they offer Bullock's upon my altar so God was pleading with the children of Israel oh if you'd only understand the reality that it's pointing to the coming Redeemer and if they could accept the coming Redeemer as their personal Savior they would be able to have hope then God would have accepted their services he would have accepted them that is until Calvary because once Jesus came those were unnecessary God wanted a change of heart this is why as we go down to Isaiah chapter 1 again Isaiah chapter 1 God to this prophet began to appeal to the people of Israel to the people of Judah Isaiah chapter 1 verses 16 to 18 his wash you make you clean put away the evil of your doings from before my eyes cease to do evil learn to do well seek judgment relieve the oppressed judge the fatherless plead for the widow come now and let us reason together saith the Lord though your sins be as Carlat they shall be as white as snow though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool he's appealing to them please come unto me let us reason together so we can solve this problem it's only as we come to God only as he come to him as a real Savior not those animals those animals are pointing forward to the coming Redeemer if they did not look to the coming Redeemer those animal sacrifices did not help them one for this reason Jesus needed to come and she shall bring forth a son and thou shalt call his name Jesus for he shall save his people from their sins it is only Jesus Christ through his death through his blood offered on Calvary that can take away the sins those services there could do no good none of those sacrifices those law that law of ceremonies that was instituted right here at as soon as sin entered in they began the sacrificial system later on it and turned it into the entire sanctuary service it all pointed forward to the coming Messiah to take away sin to continue these services after the cross would be insulting our Creator because it would be saying that we are still looking for the coming Messiah we're still looking for the one to come and oh I hope that we're not doing that this is why it says that law was nailed to the cross that law was put away but the moral law was never changed it stands immutable it stands eternal now is there any purpose for us to study that ceremonial system today is there any reason for us to study these things well you remember the statement Romans 15:4 it says for whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning that we through patience and comfort the Scriptures might have hope whatsoever things are before time also second Timothy chapter 3 verse 16 2nd Timothy 3 verse 16 says all scripture how much all Scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness also we have the example of Jesus what did Jesus do when he began to teach the people about himself we read in Luke chapter 24 and verse 27 Luke 24 and verse 27 he says the beginning at Moses and all the prophets he expounded unto them in all the scriptures of things concerning himself so we can study those sacrifices we can study that entire ceremonial system in order to understand about the Ministry of Jesus Jesus was able to teach from those scriptures from those ceremonial law all the things about himself and he convinced the disciples that it was he and Jesus had to do this because if we depend only upon personal feelings we will get the seed it goes on and says and they drew nigh unto the village whether they went and he made as though he would have gone further but they constrained him saying abide with us for it is towards evening and the day is far spent and he went in to tarry with him and it came to pass as he sat at meat with him he took bread and blessed it and brake it and gave them and their eyes were opened and they knew him and he vanished out of their sight before Jesus revealed himself to them he convinced them about the Messiah through the written word of God he convinced them by using the ceremonial system he began right there at Moses to show them that Jesus is the Messiah and when they saw it only then were they able to with witness Jesus personally the only way we're going to be able to see Jesus to come again is to be able to understand some of those prophecies of the Old Testament some of those things in the sanctuary service and how they apply to us today you see in Hebrews chapter eight verses one through five Hebrews chapter eight verses one through five it talks about work of our Jesus Christ what is Jesus doing today Hebrews chapter 8 verses one through five says now the things which we have spoken this is the son now that this is the conclusion of all these chapters from chapters 1 through 7 now the things which we have spoken this is the son we have such an high priest who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven we have what we have in high priest when today and hebrews chapter 3 and verse 1 identifies that priest Hebrews 3 verse 1 says wherefore holy brethren partakers of the heavenly calling consider the Apostle and high priest of our profession Christ Jesus Jesus is our high priest right now the priestly ministry continues the high priest is no longer a man here on earth the high priest is Jesus Christ himself and where is he it says Hebrews 8 again verse 1 now the things which we have spoken this is the son we have such an high priest Jesus Christ who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens and what is he doing up there what is he doing at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven the next verse tells us what is working it says a minister of the sanctuary and of the true Tabernacle which the Lord pitched and not man so he is ministering in the heavenly sanctuary there is a sanctuary there in which Jesus our high priest is ministering in how do we know what's going on up there how do we know what is ministering in that sanctuary it goes on for every high priest is ordained to offer gifts and sacrifices wherefore it is of necessity that this man has somewhat also to offer for if he were on earth he should not be a priest seeing that they are priests that offer gifts according to the law who serve unto the example in shadow of heavenly things as Moses was admonished of God when he was about to make the tabernacle for see said he that they'll make all things according to the pattern showed to thee in the Mount you see when Moses was about to make the tabernacle when they were designing the sign we're service it was made after pattern it was made after the temple up in heaven and Jesus is now ministering in that temple and as we study the ceremonial law as we study what was required in that law it points us forward it pointed upward to the work of Jesus that he's doing right now in the heavenly sanctuary no we don't go to those ceremonial law those are done away we are living now in the reality we are living in what they pointed forward to for this reason let us look at Hebrews chapter four verses 14 through 16 Hebrews chapter 4 verses 14 through 16 seeing then we have a great high priest that is passed into the heavens Jesus the Son of God let us hold fast our profession for we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities but was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin you see that ceremonial law had to be done away with because that ceremonial law point forward to the work of Jesus we can study it to understand the lessons but Jesus is now in the reality and because we have not an High Priest which cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities but was in all points tempted like as we are yet without sin therefore verse 16 says let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need right now we can have the confidence we can have the assurance that we can go to the sanctuary up in heaven that we come to Jesus with our sins we can place ourselves at the altar of sacrifice and give it all the Jesus let Jesus take it all he is there ministering for us my question for you today is do you want to Jesus to take your sins then take a look at the law that was done away with that law that was nailed to the cross take a look at it look at what Jesus is doing for you and me today and that will bring out that lot of God into your heart and draw you closer to Jesus may you make that decision today [Music] [Applause] [Music] Oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] you [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] you | SDARM Church | UC6yH--TEhy3WzlkEOMHM03Q | 2017-08-09 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 7,523

Z-pGIwJlK3k | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-pGIwJlK3k | Jason Snyder: Pennsylvania's Opioid Epidemic Affects Everyone | Christmas time, it's me. Thanksgiving, it's me. My parents' birthdays, it's me. Mother's Day and Father's Day it's me, only me. And I've asked myself: why am I the one who is left alive and my brothers gone? My mother said to me a couple of weeks ago, the only thing people remember about her sons is how they died. You never think this is going to happen. We never did. On a cold January morning I got a phone call, January 24th, 2005, I got a phone call from Todd’s girlfriend telling me that she couldn't get him up. I told her to call 911. I was there within minutes. It was obvious to me that Todd was already dead from a heroin overdose at 28 years old. We were shocked, so when it happened again 2.5 years later, a little more then 2.5 years later, we were really devastated. This time is was my mother calling me to tell me that my youngest brother, Josh, at age 25 had died of a heroin overdose. It's a pain that will never go away. With that I was left as the last man standing so to speak, the last living child of my parents, which made it that much more difficult for me in 2011 to tell them that I was entering in-patient drug treatment for an addiction to prescription pain medication. The stigma around the disease of addiction really kept me, and keeps many, many people using, and keeps people sick. We are in the worst-ever drug overdose death epidemic that the state, or the nation, has ever seen. Who is being effected by drug addiction today? It is really everybody. It is white, black, young, old, rich, poor. Oftentimes we only hear about the failures, we need to hear about the success and the recovery. Two of the biggest barriers to treatment are funding and stigma. This administration is addressing all of those things, as well as many, many others. I look at the path I have taken and the experiences I've had in my life and look at where I am today, it's hard for me not to think that this is not somehow where I am supposed to be, and that this is... my mission. | Governor Tom Wolf | UC8cXXCdLzcYoYGa_BqaPsgA | 2016-08-09 | Creative Commons Attribution license (reuse allowed) | en | metadata | en | 379 | 1,994 |
