Hello everybody and welcome to another hobby cheating video and today we're going to talk about five o'clock shadows and stubble and bald heads. Things that are very common on heads like this, which this is a space marine head. And we're going to talk about how we get the look of stubble both into his lower jaw and add some interesting tone to his bald head there.  They often have really interesting and humorous expressions. And as you can see, this is painted that is to say I completed the rest of the paint job on the face. So it's ready to go. I think he looks pretty nice. So he's ready to be angry in his armor, but we're going to spice him up a little bit. So what you need to do to do a nice five o'clock shadow is actually something that is going to seem strange. And that is you need some kind of very dark blue. This can be any kind of deep blue color. So you can, if you've got something like, let's say a dollar roundy panes gray ink, this is perfect. If you don't happen to have this particular ink, you can use a very deep, deep, deep navy blue paint. If you don't have that, you can always use something like take, you say your Nuln Oil, put it out on a palette, mix it with a little bit of blue shade, you know, something like a Drakenhof nightshade, mix the two of those together, and then thin it down. So that's the first step. You've got to make a real thin concoction. So here what I've done is I've taken my panes gray and I've thinned it out with a whole bunch of Master Medium from Green Stuff World, okay? You don't have to use medium. You could use water or any other kind of acrylic thinner. This is just the one I happen to want to use. Now what I get then is a mix that is very watery, and as always, whenever we have a really watery mix on our brush, we of course start by wicking it off into a paper towel because we want it to be under control. Any thin glaze, we're always going to do that. The next thing we're going to do is we're going to test it on the back of our hand, and so you can see here that's about the coverage I get out of that, real, real light, okay? So then what we're going to do is we're going to take our face and we're going to basically just pull that color across his chin, and it's so thin it will kind of naturally fall into the recesses. And we're also going to do the same thing on the side of his head here. You notice that this is a very controlled glaze, nothing's pooling, okay? And we're just going to let that dry. Now when you go this thin, you'll notice that the very first coat of it doesn't really have much of an effect. It gives a little bit of a darker tone, and the reason we work this thin is because then we can start with say just the simple like he shaved this morning, and we really want it to be just a five o'clock shadow, the slightest hint of that color in there, okay? Turning what would otherwise be a fairly warm face, a little bit cold. Now if we want to go a little farther, we can go a little farther by just simply applying another glaze. So once again, I've wicked it on my brush. Once again I'll test on the back of my hand, looks good, okay? And then we're just going to go ahead and bring that down. You notice how I'm focusing on the side of the cheek, the lower part of the jaw. You can do the upper part of the lip as well, but you don't have to. The reason it's important to have your highlighting done beforehand is because you want that to show through. When you're working this thin with this level of transparency, then what happens is anything you put underneath is going to show through. So if you have something light, it will generally show through the light.  Now you're starting to see the actual change of where it looks like we've got a little bit of a shadow there, okay? But again, we can keep going farther. So let's give him one more, as always every time I'm wicking and every time I'm testing on the back of my hand. And the reason I'm doing that every time is because the reality is this paint job is very done and I don't want to sit here and suddenly change something that I put a fair amount of time into where I have to go back and fix a lot. So an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. I'm not going to do the sides of his head again. I think that has a nice shadow on it already. We'll run a single one up over the top of his lip, which is very slight. So he's got a little bit of that going over the lip. I generally do the top of the lip with less than I do the lower areas. Not because there's actually would be less stubble there, but because you generally want the lip to be more pronounced. And so now you can see how we've got a really nice image of kind of stubble there. Now the cool part is you can always go back and you can take, say, a little bit of that dark shade. We can actually mix it with a little bit of whatever flesh color we used. So we get something like that. And then we could take this area of his chin, if we want it to be a little more pronounced, and we can come back in and actually kind of re-highlight that up, maybe the same with the side of his lip there that's facing the light. So you can still work over top of it rather easy and you can see now how that gives us that nice transition. So there you go. That's really all there is to it. This is a simple one, folks, because this technique is so easy and so fun to do. It's such a final, simple touch to doing a face and really selling the illusion. I love putting this kind of stuff on a miniature because it just has a cool finishing effect to it. So there you go. That's how you do your stubble, your five o'clock shadows, and your buzzed bald heads to make him look like that. So it looks like he's got a little bit of a shadow there where he has a little bit of hair that he still has to actually shave down. But all in all, hope you enjoyed this. I know this is a very simple one, but it's something I've gotten a couple requests for. So I do hope you enjoy this.

Russia and U.S. are in hot conflict phase. Russia and the United States have already passed through the Cold War stage in their relations and are now in the phase of a hot conflict. Russia's Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said on the Sputnik radio station, I think we have already passed period of the Cold War. Now we are in the phase of a hot conflict with the United States. We are witnessing the direct involvement of that country in a hybrid war with Russia on various fronts. Ryabkov said in response to a question. He called some forms of this hybrid war being used by the U.S. completely unprecedented, which had not existed during the Cold War. Unfortunately, there has been much talk about the risk of a nuclear conflict. It's a rather dramatic issue, Ryabkov said. I must stress that the Russian side is fully committed to the well-known postulates, which have been repeatedly stated recently, including at the highest level to the effect there can be no winners in a nuclear war and that it must not be unleashed.  Ryabkov emphasized that Russia's opponents were playing with fire in the truest sense of the word. They ought to be aware what any encroachment on our sovereignty, our territorial integrity and our statehood will entail. If this trend persists, we will be ready to take all measures and to use all means at our disposal in order to defend ourselves and ensure that our sovereignty be guaranteed. Under estimation of this resolve of ours is perhaps the worst thing that can happen, or conversely not happen in the minds of our adversaries. We caution them against making fatal mistakes. Ryabkov concluded.


Hey there, friend. My name is Gary Miller and I'm a Latter-day Saint. So on paper, I shouldn't even be here. If you'd told me five years ago that I would be looking at you sharing this story over social media and the internet about how my family discovered the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I would have told you that you were certifiably crazy. I said there's no way that that would be us. But isn't it interesting how God takes everyone's journey and can work it into something really amazing? I just want to encourage you today if you felt like your spiritual journey, wherever you are on the grid, has kind of felt a little all over the place. Sometimes it feels like really great, other times not so much, and maybe you visited a ton of different churches and maybe you've been a part of a few different things, but you could never kind of figure out where home was. If that's you, I just want to applaud you for exploring and searching. You know, my journey with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints started about two years ago. I was in a parking lot of a Kroger. I'd gone in to get a snack because I work in sales and marketing, and so I had a long drive to the other side of town to meet with a sales prospect.  You want to test your grace and figure out how spiritual you are, try that. It'll wear your nerves then if you're not careful. So when I'm driving, I wanted to make sure I had a snack, but I needed something to listen to. Now, if you're like me, I love podcasts. Go figure. Now I host a podcast where I share my story and share things about the Church and the Bible and Scripture, life and faith. It's downloaded and listened to all over the world. It's so funny that my journey started by listening to a podcast, and now I do the same thing for many others in my podcast. But so I pull out my iPhone, and if those of you who are familiar with how the iPhone interface works with podcasts, well, they gave me some recommended shows based on what I had already listened to. But for whatever reason, and I have no idea, even though I would tell you it was providential, that an audio for the Book of Mormon shows up on my phone. Now, friend, a guy like me was not supposed to be listening to the Book of Mormon. Now, in case you missed it earlier, I was an independent fundamental hellfire preaching Baptist. All right, we're about a million miles from the Book of Mormon. But it came up and for whatever reason, I hit play. And so I'm driving down the West Park Tollway, listening to people talking about plates, and I'm hearing about Nephi, and I'm hearing about these people that I had never heard of, because I had been a student of the Bible for a long, long time. And so I'm going, wait, what is this about? But as I kept listening, I kept hearing about Jesus. I thought, wait a minute, what's like, how is this possible? So, I'm driving on my sales calls, and I'm listening to this audio of the Book of Mormon. It wasn't just that day, I kept doing it every day. And finally, I'd heard enough that I thought, you know what, as a good scripture student, and I was, I did my undergraduate work at Weyland Baptist University, went to seminary at Liberty Theological Seminary. So for me, like the key was, I needed pages, I needed to have my high letters out, I needed to be able to mark this thing up. I got to figure out what's going on. So where do I go? I go to eBay. And I go out on eBay and I look up Book of Mormon, because I wanted to get a copy of the Book of Mormon that I could really touch and handle and kind of pick apart. And so I ordered this copy, really nice, leather-bound copy that was somebody else's. And it arrives on my doorstep a few days later, and I start reading it, highlighter and pen out, Bible on one side, Book of Mormon on the other, and I start going through it, chapter after chapter, book after book. I'd get all the way through it, I'd start over again, and all the way through it, and start over again. And I just kept doing this. And as I was doing it, I kept listening to these podcasts about the church and about the Book of Mormon. And so I was studying it, and I was listening to it, and I was doing what it says in the very beginning of the Book of Mormon. It's really a challenge to the reader that if we go to Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus, and we ask in the midst of our study, is this true, we're gonna find out if it is real? Well, I was doing that every day. I was just following what it told me to do on the front page of the book. So I reach out, and I start going online to try to find out, what am I missing here? Because this Book of Mormon thing is incredible, and it's totally aligned with my Bible. Because I'm gonna tell you, friend, the hand that gave one is the hand that gave the other. And so as I was doing that, I decided that I was going to reach out to the missionaries online. And at the time, you could have an online chat with missionaries, because I wasn't ready to have them over at the house and actually talk to somebody, but I thought I could be kind of secretive and reach out to them online. So I reach out, and we start talking, and I tell them a little bit of my story. And there were two sister missionaries, and they could not have been sweeter, and they did such a good job of handling the fundamental Baptist preacher, which was not an easy thing to do, because I had some really hard questions. And they just dealt with it like it was no problem at all. And so finally, that moved into a phone call, and we started talking, and we had meetings with myself and my lovely wife, Crystal, and the sister missionaries on the phone. We had them on speaker, and we're going through, and we're doing lessons with them on the phone. And then finally, they introduced us. We said, well, are there missionaries local in our area? And they introduced us to two amazing missionaries, who I am firmly convinced were directly assigned to us. They were our two angels. I'll never forget them. Elder Olson and Elder Johnson. And so we had talked to the sister missionaries, and much like the Bible says, you know, the New Testament tells us that we should compel people to come. Well, these sister missionaries had compelled me, hey, Gary Miller, it's time to go to a church league. I said, all right, you know, I told my wife and said, I think we can go visit for a service. But we need to meet with the missionaries, so we know somebody there, so we don't feel like we're total strangers in a strange land. And so I remember talking to the missionaries briefly on the phone, and then we met them in person. Now, friends, when I was walking up into the parking lot, going in for that first meeting, I mean, you would have thought my blood pressure was off the chart. I was so nervous. I was like, am I doing the right thing? Am I in the right place? And then I walk in and I encounter, in person for the first time, the Church of Jesus Christ, Letters Day Saints. I've been reading about it in the Book of Mormon over and over and over again for months. I had been listening to it for months. I had been studying with the missionaries for months, and I finally found myself in the room encountering one-on-one directly meeting other members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And I can't tell you the amount of warmth and reception and welcome and comfort that it was for me and my family. Now, listen, going to Church Cross is like, that's like a no kidding. Like, you got to have a battle plan. I got three daughters. They're young. You got to get everybody out the door and get everybody in. I mean, it's not easy getting this army of the mellors out the door on time, in the church, sitting down, knowing what we're supposed to do. And everyone could not have been sweeter, could not have been nicer. And it started our journey, and we went back every week, and we just kept going and kept going. And finally, one night, when we were having a lesson with our missionaries, I asked the question. I said, well, what do we got to do to be baptized and officially become members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? And just a number of weeks later, I don't even remember how many it was. Right before the pandemic started in February of last year, we found ourselves in the waters of baptism and officially members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. If I even tried to make a list of all the blessings that have come as a result of our decision to join the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I wouldn't be able to remember them all because there's so many and I'd be writing for a long time. And you know what? I'd love to sit here and tell you it's all these super spiritual blessings that have come. There have been a lot of great spiritual blessings. There's been a lot of practical ones as well, incredible friendships and relationships and connection to others that has helped us be better parents. It's helped me be a better father and a better husband and a better business owner. And you know, there's amazing transformative power when you get around the gospel of Jesus Christ. So I've got a challenge for you today. Here's what I want you to do. You know you couldn't get off this video with me not giving you something to do, right? So here's what I want you to do. Number one, wherever you're watching it right now, I want you to know that there are missionaries that are ready and excited to answer your questions. And by the way, all those questions, you might think they're out in left field questions. They're happy to answer them. You might think they're hard questions.  They're happy to answer them.  The missionaries whole role is to be there to help answer your questions and encourage you wherever you are in your journey. So I want you to hit that DM button, the private message button, the chat button, wherever you're watching it. And I want you to reach out to them. I want you to say hello to them. Just say hello missionaries. It's the first thing. And step two, I want you to ask them for something because they're ready to give it to you. I want you to ask them for a copy of the Book of Mormon. And they're going to get that copy to you for free because I want you to take the same challenge that I did. Let me read something to you from the introduction of this precious, precious book. It says this, we invite all men everywhere to read the Book of Mormon. To ponder in their hearts the message it contains and then ask God the eternal Father in the name of Christ if the book is true. Those who pursue this course and ask in faith will gain a testimony of its truth and divinity by the power of the Holy Ghost.  So watch, that's the challenge I want to give to you. Take the same challenge I did. You say, Gary, I'm part of another church. Perfect. Take the challenge. Gary, I'm about a million miles away from God. Perfect. Take the challenge. God, Gary, I'm not even sure. I believe that there's God. Perfect. Take the challenge. Starting this journey in this way. And who knows where it's going to go? I have no idea where it's going to go for you. But I know that if you will take this challenge, you are going to come square on in contact with somebody that's going to change your life. If you will take this challenge, you're going to meet Jesus. You're going to meet Jesus in these pages in a very unique way. And you know what, friend? There is not a hurt. There is not a pain. There is not a trouble. There is not a sorrow. That Jesus cannot heal, restore, and make better. And friend, you're going to find him in here.  I dare you to take me up on this because I know your life is going to be changed. And I can't wait to hear your testimony of how it changes your life. If I can leave you with anything else, I'll leave you with this. I have a firm testimony, friends, that the Book of Mormon is true. That the 66 books in the King James Bible are true.  And if you will open up these pages and start this challenge, you're going to meet him in a most unique way.


Hi again, in this lesson, we're going to talk about that how to see types of elements in a list in Python programming language. First, let's make a list. Let's call it my list and let's put a few elements inside it. For example, number 3, number 1.4. Some string, let's say, for example London and one element with Boolean type. For example, true. Okay, now we want to see all types of elements in our list. Our result will be stored inside another list. And if we want to check all elements from this list, we need to make an iteration of our list. Let's say for item in my list. So now we're going to iterate all these elements from our list and for every element of our list, we want to check the type. So we will put before our for each loop that we want to find type of each item from our list. So we're going to iterate over this list and in every iteration, we will get an element and store it in the item. And then we will call method type to check this item's type and we will store the result into a new list. Okay, and when I press enter, you can see that first element is integer, second element is float, third element is string and the fourth element is Boolean type. That's all in this lesson. Thanks for watching. Bye-bye.


At Audiology Associates at Prestonsburg, you can live your life the way you want and find the freedom of better hearing. You'll experience patient care that is specific to you with exceptional follow-up care that ensures your hearing and balance needs are being met. Audiology Associates at 1428 Northlake Drive in Prestonsburg. Pikeville Elementary will be hosting Camp Invent June 20th through the 24th. Camp Invent is designed for students entering kindergarten through sixth grade to learn leadership skills, build essential STEAM skills, and improve reading skills through collaborative hands-on learning. Camp Invention, it is a program that is brought to us by the National Inventors Hall of Fame. And within it we have five modules. And with these modules, the students are in groups based on their grade and they travel to these modules to work collaboratively with each other and they work on innovative experiments focusing on STEAM, which is science, technology, engineering, arts, and math. The camp will be held from 9 to 3.30 each day and snacks and drinks will be provided. Camp Invent will feature five different modules including creating a robotic arm, creating a robotic fish, and other STEAM focused experiments. I really believe that the STEAM camp is so important for students because it is one that they get to come to school, but they get to, the name of our camp this year is called Camp Invention Explorer. They get to explore, work together, they learn what a patent is, and they get to design their own creations to take home. Registration is $245 and is open until Friday evening, June 17th. For promo codes and to register for Camp Invent, go to invent.org. For Mountain Top News, I'm Brianna Robinson.


Okay, so we let's start. Okay, so last class we looked at you know very important aspect of preaching which is we looked at the person the preacher And we looked at what qualifies a person to you know priests the word of God it also looked at About the call like call itself because Many times We if you're not convinced of the call of God For us to handle the word of God for us to be communicators of the word of God then we're not really Really serious about it or we don't understand the the the weightiness of the responsibility, right? So It's important that we Understand it's important that we be convinced of the call and with regards to a call We we also saw that All of us are in a sense. We are called to this right it is our Duty it is our responsibility to be Preachers of the gospel to be communicators of the gospel So the question is why why do we say that and the answer is in the great commission Right the answer is in the in the in the great commission that There's several ways we can look at it. One is of course very clear that all of us as Disciples as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ we are commissioned with this message Right to preach the gospel to every creature and to go to every nation I mean to every people group to preach the gospel and To teach all that the Lord Jesus as taught Okay, and Baptizing then the name of the Father son the Holy Spirit. So so that's the responsibility That's the call of every disciple and every believer now how this happens and in what way it happens You know, that's different Well, it could be a five-fold specific five-fold call like we see in Ephesians chapter 4, right where Some are called to be where some are called to be Apostles Prophets evangelists past its teachers now This is not for all but it is for some and it is as the Lord desires, right? So he places some To be this now even you're gonna be I'm sure you'll be learning about the five-fold ministry the ministry of evangelist Pastor teacher this this session right and the semester. So you learn that okay, you know These gifts flow together one could be a pastor teacher or an apostle prophet And you know, it's a gift mix that that is there but this is something that we don't take for ourselves but You know the Lord places us in the body of Christ with a specific call, okay? So that's something that we that we understand So it could happen that way or it could happen in any other way because we see also that We are equipped the saints in the same passage efficiency up to four We see that the saints are equipped for the work of ministry. Okay for the work of serving so and when we look at passages like Romans chapter 12 Where the gifts are listed one court in swell where the gifts are listed We see that we are placed in the body of Christ in different ways in different capacities and To serve one another to minister to one another. Okay, so even in that there is the communication of the Of the word of God there's a preaching of the word of God. So it may not be a very formal podium pulpit Stadium kind of a ministry, but it would be in different ways right and some practical ways in which we can Look at like if you consider if you see the way church is set up, you know, it could be a home group It could be a life group. It could be You know, it could be meetings like that like a house prayer meeting and so on but then you you are Ministering the word, right? So we see that and then the importance of the person We looked at character. We looked at you know more than ability and charisma and gifting Characters very important because that's going to be the foundation, right? If you have all that and if you do not have character then they there's gonna be cracks in the foundation It's it's gonna fall and it's going to be very embarrassing it's going to be painful and It's gonna cause a damage for a whole lot of other people as well Like not only for us personally, but for those of us Those those lives who are connected to our lives, you know family friends and people who look up to us and it's going to be It causes a lot of damage when we see And over and over again, you know in the church and and I'm sure if you study church history You see that people, you know Losing this aspect of their ministry, you know because of their personal choices personal because of character Flaws and then we see that kind of damage, you know, it creates in the church and also the kind of damage It gives an opportunity for the enemy to speak ill of you know, the church and speak ill of Christ Definitely not bringing glory to God If we do that so the importance of character the importance of you know, the lifestyle So so we saw all that. Okay, so today what we'll do is we look at The message the content of the message the because the message is very important Because that is what we are communicating. So it's important what we Communicate What we preach? Okay, it's a it's a great importance now When we even we look at that when we consider that Again, I want to say that life is also important, right? The because the life Is it speaks volumes it speaks louder, right? And no matter how Clear articulate eloquent to the messages if the life is not lived Is it's not a life of integrity is not a life of character then It cancel out cancels out the most Wonderful the beautiful of messages. Yeah, you know, it cancels it out. So the importance of life lived well And that is why we looked at it earlier. Now, let's look at the message Like the content of the message the the nature of the message itself. Okay Now we need to understand that While there are several things that could be spoken shared, you know, and there are several kinds of You know ways in which communication happens. There could be encouragement That could be exhortation and so on the the backbone of it is the word of God Okay The kind of the foundation is the word of God now the word of God is our reference point the word of what the word of God is what is What the message is based on means everything that we declare It's Foundation should be in the word everything that we share communicate, you know, the foundation should be the word of God Take us to a couple of scriptures first one being of Let's go to One of Peter's epistles Let's go Okay, so I'm at first Peter chapter 4 case and verse 11 and If anyone speaks let him speak as the oracles of God If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ to whom belong the glory and the Dominion forever and ever so let him speak as the oracles of God meaning You are speaking the heart and mind of God. You're speaking as a spokesperson for God. Okay so So that's that's very very important. So when we when the when the word is what is communicated You're speaking on Behalf of God you're speaking as an oracle of God. This is what God says. So If we do not speak from the word, you know, the chances are that we could be Speaking from ourselves meaning our own assumptions our own presumptions Which may not be based on the word of God Okay, so it's very important to be word centric Okay, so Paul also when he's writing to Timothy, he gives a couple of instructions. Let's look at those. Okay First Timothy Hey first immediate Right there at chapter 1 and verse 3 as I urged you when I went into Macedonia Remain in Ephesus that you may charge some that they teach no other doctrine Okay, nor give heed to fables and endless genealogies which cost disputes rather than godly edification Which is in faith now the purpose of the commandment is from a pure heart Is love from a pure heart from a good conscience and from sincere faith From which some having strayed have turned aside to idle talk Desiring to be teachers of the law Understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm But we know that the Lord is good law is good if one uses it lawfully Okay, and then he goes on to explain about law and then verse 11 He says according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was Committed to my trust Worst 10 he says if there's any other thing that is contrary to sound Doctrine, okay, so he's talking about sound doctrine. He's talking about teaching he's saying that if you Go away from this you're going to give heed or you're going to listen to or you know give weightage to fables Which means stories with fables are stories with with good moral lessons right But they they're not It's not the word of God so this could be it could have good moral lessons it could be You know, it could be but it's a story Okay So he's saying not give heed to fables and endless genealogies. So what is the what do those do? those costs disputes Rather than godly Edification which is in faith Okay, so godly edification happens Because of our faith and because of our faith in God because of our faith in God's word and that is why he says, you know charge some that they teach no other doctrine Okay, let there be no other teaching. So that's the first thing that he The Paul writes and he and he tells Timothy, you know, I left you there with this purpose that you teach no other Doctrine let the teaching be the word of God, okay, and and when you You know when you go down to let's say Chapter four, okay, chapter four also He gives the same thing same instruction at verse six if you see If you instruct the brethren in these things you will be good minister of Jesus Christ nourished in the words of faith and of the good doctrine which you have carefully Followed but reject profane and old wives fables and exercise yourself towards Godliness and then he goes on to say in verse 12 Let no one despise your youth but be an example to the believers in word and conduct in love in Spirit in faith in purity till I come Give attention to reading to exhortation to doctrine Verse 16 take heed to yourself and to the doctrine Continue in them for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you So it's very very clear about what you should teach what you should give heed to Because doing the opposite of that or steering away from that is instead of In instead of bringing in edification it creates strife And so what we communicate if it's not the word of God, it's it's it's not going to be Profitable it's not going to be useful like spiritually speaking like people might be excited people might Find some things funny But at the end of the day if the content of what we are sharing is not from faith or is it's not the word of God Then it's gone not going to result in It's not going to result in faith. Okay, Rosalind. What page are we on? We're looking at chapter 5 Ministry of the word so it's page 15. I guess and my notes The importance of the ministry of God's word, right Okay, page 15 Is page 15 the is it page 15 and all the other notes. Yeah, it is okay Right, so the importance of you know God's word so it says If you look at We see that it creates Lord of I'm sorry first Timothy itself. It says it creates disputes It's great creates wrong understanding. It doesn't result in faith Okay, so so the importance of speaking from God's word, okay so let's let's look at the notes and the first thing we see there is that God operates by his word Okay, now the the Bible the word of God is God's thoughts his ideas His opinion his promise his instruction all that right So he Operates through that. Yes. He's able to go beyond it But he operates through the word of God. So if the word of God is There's something we understand that it carries Intrinsically the power of God the word of God is something that will produce fruit. Okay, so The message needs to be based on the word of God now it might sound like you know Isn't isn't isn't that the natural thing? Well, it was not always so and it is not always so it is not so, you know, even today Well, since the church and the minister of God is supposed to give importance to the word of God We know that it was not so and especially during the dark ages the word was completely neglected Completely neglected. It was kept away from people. It was chained practically physically changed and kept changed and kept and People did not have access to the word of God Okay, and and we know what happened to the reformation the Translations and so it was made available for the common man to be able to read and understand in his own own language Right, so it was not so so even today Well, we don't have that kind of a thing, you know, we have Different, you know Ways in which we can read the word of God electronically and I know other ways and we have audio Bibles and ever there is there are wonderful ways and methods But you know in the church if we do not preach the word of God But we're going to preach something which is apart from the word You know if you're giving some information, which is not based on the word then it's not going to produce effort effect You know, it's not going to produce fruit because faith will result faith is something which is spiritual and it will be produced Only by the word of God We need to understand that I need and it is something that will edify It'll something that will bring lasting change. Okay, so when we look at Hebrews 4 so that is what we see Hebrews 4 You know, these are things that we may know already This could be a reiteration of that so his Hebrews 4 says the word of God is living The word of God is powerful and it is sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the division of soul and spirit and of joints and marrow and It's a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart Okay, so what of God is living powerful Sharper than any two-edged sword piercing even to the division of soul and so that's fascinating because It's it does a work which a Work of discerning a work of separation which nothing else can actually do The word of God is like a sword sharper and this discerning and and separation is between the soul and the spirit and We know, you know, we've learned about the soul and the spirit our emotions intellect Imaginations thoughts everything in the soul realm and the spirit which is our inner man where you know We the Holy Spirit speaks to us the Holy's we speak the mysteries of God and the Holy Spirit speaks to us There's a deficit of his word in our spirit Revelation comes to us that our Lord writes it upon our spirit, right? He expands our capacity Everything happens in the spirit. So we receive the mysteries of God in our spirit man So there's a division Says even to the soul and the spirit So that's something very valuable, you know in the sense. Why is it valuable? So I know the difference between okay What is of my own imagination? What is of my own thoughts or my own thinking not that they are less important But I can know what is inspired by God What is coming from God? What is the guidance that come that is coming from God? What are the ideas and inspiration of God? I know because the word of God is able to even discern and divide between that He's able to divide between okay, this is actually of the emotional realm and this is of the Spirit okay, and that only the word of God can do and it's a very important thing very Valuable very important thing for us as believers, right? So it's living and Powerful so that's the word of God. So we might think oh, it's it's so old-fashioned. You know, I want to add I want to make it even more interesting We don't have to Like I think it was person who said, you know about defending the word of God He said it's like it's like defending a lion, you know, I don't have to do that I just have to let the lion out of the cage and the lion will do that You know, it'll do the rest do its work. So So we don't have to you know, we apologize about it We don't have to make excuses for the word of God We can the word of God is powerful the word of God is you know the old English word used there is quick and it means To you know, it means it's alive. It's breathing literally, you know, the quick and the dead Right, so it's not lifeless. It's it's quick in the sense. It's it's breathing. It's it's full of life okay, and As a figure of speech metaphorically it means something that is That is full of vigor Right all sitting with life energetic fresh and strong So that is what it means like it's quick and It's powerful active powerful and It is sharper than any two-edged sword which means that, you know, it it can cut And and we know, you know, how the word can cut and convict even the hardened of hearts, right? So what have God does that? Let's look at one more description, you know, Isaiah 55 As a 55 and was a 10 and 11 right this also we've Read many times for as the rain comes down and snow from heaven and did not return there But what are the earth? So it may make it bring forth and bud that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth It shall not return to me void But it shall accomplish what I please and it shall prosper in the thing for which I Sent it so so God is saying, you know Just before that he says my thoughts are not your thoughts and talks about how the wicked should forsake their thoughts and the Unrichest man forsake the way and enriches man's thoughts and return to the Lord, right? And then he says about the word so as the rain comes down from heaven and and as it waters the earth and makes it Makes it bring forth and but so that, you know I'm sure you've seen, you know, certain terrains before the rain and after the rain No, there's so much of freshness. There's so much of growth.  Where did all this beauty come from? and It's just that it rained and it rained and it it stirred up at the ground and And whatever was you know, if you look at it, whatever was the potential in the ground It just erupted Right, whatever was that potential, you know, it just came to life and it happened because rain has that quality Rain did that so it says as the rain makes the land makes, you know To waters the earth and makes it bring forth and bird That it may give sea to the sower and bread to the eater. No, that's that's another important aspect of God's word that's It's it's doing something you know It's it's it's creating something. It's unlocking potential. It's bringing out beauty and it's productive It's resulting in productivity that it may why is it doing all that? Why does the rain do all that it may give sea to the sower and bread to the eater, right? so So shall my word be says the Lord so shall my word be in the same way The word that I send the word that I release. This is what it will happen You know, it's going to bring in freshness going to change the entire environment. It's going to change the face You know when when the heart receives Where there's going to be change in the life the it'll be unrecognizable What seem to be bad and what seem to be dry and lifeless? It's gonna come to life because that's what the word of That's what my word does. It's creative It's going to bring forth the potential that is already, you know there And it's going to bring it to life and it's going to be Sorry, the life is going to be productive It brings forth see to this, you know see to the sower and and bread to the eater You see, you know the seed to the sower, which means that the sower is going to use that seed It's going to multiply, you know, put that put that put that seed in the field and it's going to you know bring for the harvest and Bread to the eater the finished product of that end result of that whole thing of sowing and reaping The end product is bread to the eater. So a lot of saying, okay, there's going to be You know even more harvest and also the end product which will nourish a person physically physically, you know So that's that's what we are saying this is what it'll do So you see the importance of carrying That word Okay bringing that word Something that is full of life something that is powerful and and obviously It's it's the truth of God's word that we are communicating It's the you know, maybe the declaration of it the explanation of it and when we when we share it it has its It does its work. Okay by the power of the Holy Spirit the word does the Work, okay, so that is that that is that is something that we see, okay Then the other thing that we see is that first, there's limits to inverse 13. Let's look at that Okay Chapter two and was 13 Paul is saying enough for this reason We also thank God without seizing because when you received the word of God, which you heard from us You welcomed it not as the word of men But as it is in truth The word of God, okay So it talks about this audience the church in teslanika They received the word of God and they received it as when they when these men preached when the steam preached They received it they welcomed it not as a word of men, but as it is in truth the word of God The last part of it he says which also effectively works in you who believe Okay, so the word of God, which is Eternal which is all powerful and living and so on so powerful full of life Effectively works in us who believe Okay, powerfully works in us who believe so which means that the word has to be mixed with faith It has to be received welcome mixed with faith and for all this to happen right, so this is What the word of God will accomplish in the lives of people? It becomes operational in the lives of people as we receive it and we receive it in faith Okay, right then We of course we when we looked at preaching we see that okay, it's the word of an infinite God eternal God in the in the Which he puts in our heart in finite man in order to communicate That word which is eternal which is infinite in nature Right, so God chooses us With all our limitations Right being finite being works in progress He chooses us to communicate his word in order to fulfill his purposes All right, that's the beauty of it. We are actually partnering with God's mission right, so he chooses us and He gives us the word and he says okay now you go forth and you minister the word Okay, so he let's look at acceptor six acceptor six and verse four Okay six and verse four the apostles Because of that whole dispute about the About the feeding about the distribution of food through widows being neglected so the apostles make a very Important decision right so they they appoint the others who are one of Good reputation full of the Holy Spirit, etc. And they say we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word. Okay, so the early church, you know, they Understood the importance they realized the importance a lot of things were happening I think they were going around and they were sharing the gospel people were coming People were being added to the church a lot of superannual things are happening a lot of excitement everything was happening and But they realized this they said we will give ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word It's not that the other things were not important that they know taking care of the administrative side But they realized that This is something that they cannot neglect And prayer and ministry of the word so they said we will give ourselves continually to this you will give ourselves continually to this What was that to the minister to the prayer and to the ministry of the world? Okay, so Why do they do that because God had commissioned His disciples to carry the word to to communicate the word to preach the word to the people around to the nations around right so Therefore giving ourselves continually to this. Okay, so let's of course the the other word that we saw was one this one It's two and verse 13. Let's look at Luke 8 13 Luke chapter 8 and verse 13 Look chapter 8 is also parallel to Luke chapter. I mean, sorry mark chapter 4, right? It talks about the sewer and This the parable of the sewer, right? So in So this the word of God is likened To the seed which is sown and verse 13 talks about the fact that the ones on the rock are those when they hear Receive the word with joy and they have no root who believe for a while and in time of temptation Fall away. Okay, and then you know, we can actually read the rest of the passages and on to us 15 which says the ones that fell on the good ground are those having heard the word with a noble and good heart keep it and bear fruit with Patience. Okay, so verse 15 talks about how the good ground hear the word Keep it and there is the bearing fruit. Okay, so so that's what What of God does so this So this aspect of sowing is a responsibility Okay, so that's something that we see the parable of the so that the sewer goes and sows the seed and the seed is the what of God so God is God in his In his wisdom and his foreknowledge in a foresight He has he's instituted it this way that that we as human beings God wants us to be communicators of his word and he wants us to proclaim his word and we see you know our identity as New Testament believers.  Okay, so he has chosen us to do that right, okay Let's move on. Let's look at Look at Matthew 4 4 Talks about the Lord Jesus explaining Okay, Matthew 4 and verse 4 Lord Jesus saying that He answered and said now his answer is in response to response to the devil's question right and devil's charge If you are the son of God, okay command that these stones become bread Right, so that is that is that is what he's stating is saying if you are if you are indeed the son of God So he's actually challenging The identity of the Lord Jesus is saying if you are indeed Who you say you are if you are indeed the son of God Then do this again the Lord Jesus answers And his response is very interesting. He says it is written So he's referring to the word. What is interesting is this that You know, he is the eternal word like the living word Right, and he is quoting the scriptures Which is the word Right, he's quoting that and he's saying it is written And he's also talking about the word and you see that Interesting, right and he's saying man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word That proceeds from the mouth of God. Okay So very very interesting right and his response to Satan's challenge and statement Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God So but so let me use the word reema there, but but by reema Right, which is the quickened word It comes from God So man shall not live by bread alone. So so what does that mean? That means that for For a believer One who is uh, accepted the Lord Jesus Well, there is a requirement To receive the word of God Okay, uh, whether it's you know, whether it's preached whether it's personally received Right in in various ways whether it's supernaturally received sovereignly received from God well man Has to receive the word of God Man cannot just continue to live well bread can sustain a person physically Bread can enable a person to go on physically and do the things what is required physically But we know that a that a person is more than just her physical being He or she is a spiritual being and especially when you're a believer When your spirit is quickened And you're made alive in the spirit And your spirit Needs my spirit needs the word of God As much as our body requires physical food for sustenance Right immediately, you know when you miss a meal, you know, that's you know, your body tells you right this There's something and And and and you you just go ahead and you see okay.  The thing is this, you know There is a craving in the spirit. We've been designed in the spirit to receive the word of God Okay, but the thing is we sometimes we make do with something else. We try to fill it with something else And there is a craving. There's a thing that oh, there's drawing is something I I need this But then we try to fill it with something. Maybe. Oh, I maybe I need some entertainment Maybe I need to you know, I need And I need that relationship To you know to to make sure that this craving goes well We need the word of God And we need God to speak to us We need to receive it in our inner man on only then on only that satisfies and that's that in fact creates More hunger for the word of God, right? So Okay, so we see that The Lord Jesus saying that man should not live a red loan but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God Okay, let's look at first Peter 2 and verse 2 Okay, so we are looking at you know, many things that we know already right But just a reiteration of that for us to know the importance of The content of what we minister right Just to know that there's something precious something to know that to know for us to know that it's life-giving Okay, first Peter 2 and verse 2 Verses 1 and 2. Let's read therefore laying aside all malice all deceit hypocrisy envy and all evil speaking as newborn babes desire the pure milk of the word that you May grow thereby if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is gracious Okay, so this is what they're saying, you know, do you desire your crave for the pure milk of the word? Okay, so that causes growth and development Okay, so the word of God is now, you know, it's likened to The milk that a newborn maybe craves Which is required which is necessary for the for the for the newborn to grow and develop right so you're saying So in other words, you're saying the word of God is its sustenance is food The word of God is something which is required which is necessary for growth and development Okay, so there's no there's no substitute for that Okay, there's no substitute. So, um, you know, so so in the church or any other, you know forum any other environment where we handle the word where we minister where we gather The word of God is what will actually sustain the word of God will what will produce growth. So For every, you know, minister, pastor, you know, the thing is the we want the church to grow We want the church we want the believers to mature and we want the believers to discover the call of God. So how will that happen? Well When people come it's an opportunity to minister the word Minister the word that causes growth Minister the word that that is necessary for sustenance, right? Maybe they're not in a place of doing that for themselves Right, but here's an opportunity here. Here. Here's a, you know, opportunity for them to receive the word which sustains and here's an opportunity for them to receive the word which causes growth and maturity and development Right, you look at it that way when you're ministering the word, you know, it's an awesome responsibility As a parent, maybe you want the best food for the child You know, you don't want to put throw in put in some junk You know, you want the you want the best food, you know, the most nutritious one the clean and nutritious something that will result in health You don't want to give something that will and especially if something is tail and if something is You know, uh, you know that it's doubtful even if it looks good. You say, okay, don't don't eat it Right and as a parent, I understand that you know, I say, okay Don't touch it. It's okay It's okay. It's better. It's fine. You leave it.  You want to go on the best thing for your child, right? So you look at the word of God from that angle and you say, okay, here, you know Here, God has placed me and here are the people who God has given And given responsibility and you know oversight and I need to make sure that I share The word I share the reema word of God and I so because it's it's going to result And in the best way possible so that it results in growth development maturity Okay, okay. So let's look at one more scripture Um, let's look at roman's 10 and verse 17 Roman's 10 17 anyone What does it talk about? What does it talk about a very important aspect, right? Okay, we want to be people of faith Uh, we want to be people who will Um, you know faith is something unseen and we know that faith Pleases God and you know that Whatever God wants us to do, you know, we can we need to live by faith in order to do that And here roman's 10 17 talks about the fact that Faith comes in this manner Faith is produced in this manner Right faith is You know when contains 12 talks about faith being a gift of the holy spirit talks about the surge of faith Um, and how faith comes, uh, the holy spirit brings in that gift Okay But when we see here, we see that The word of God produces faith Faith and here I talk talking about saving faith, right? Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God So it's something that is produced in our spirit by the word of God Okay so In all sincerity and good intentions For people to increase in faith Right There's no other Method that is available There's no other method that's available Except By the word of God So faith in God Comes when people receive The word of God because the word of God is the one which produces faith Okay So it's interesting, you know, like one contents to 13 talked about how You know, we we need to receive it in faith Right when we believe and then, you know, it produces something in us But also we see that it's it is the word which which keep causes faith to rise in us Which produces faith in us, you know, it's like a cycle I need the word of God to produce faith and I need faith to receive more of the word of God Right, so we see that Right, so So we see we see that faith comes By hearing and hearing by the word of God, which means that actively when I receive Actively when I are intentionally when I receive the word of God Okay, so it's not something automatic, right? I need to make uh, or I need to Be intentional about hearing receiving the word of God And it produces faith. Okay Okay, let's look at acts 2032 Where Paul in his address to the efficient believers to the elders So he says no so now brethren, I commend you to God And to the word of his grace Okay, which is able to build you up And give you an inheritance among all those who are sanctified, okay the word of God which is able to build you up Okay, and Give you an inheritance So the word of God does that so um So again, it's very important, you know, and then we can go on and on I can look at several verses just expounding the you know the value of God's word and The beauty of God's word the importance of God's word, right? So So while we so when we know this we we see that I I need to be As a person who's handling the word of God my content should be the word of God My reference point should be the word of God Right and there's always fruit When we share The word of God, okay Right, so so so the thing is that it's not that my message should be okay I just read Verse after verse after verse Right, it's it's not it's just not that right. We know that there are several ways like it could teach the word of God Meaning if you go into the how and the why and the you know where and etc So you're you know asking those questions We can proclaim the word of God you're declaring. Okay. That's what God says. This is what You know God's heart is this is what the mind of God is so, you know, you know doing that etc And so we can we can do it in all those ways But the fact is that we are communicating right the truth of God's word and that's the content Okay, it's it's so which means it's not to amuse people. It's not to entertain people Uh, well all that can happen in that environment, you know, well Because of human personality and because of you know, how we are We can well in the sharing of God's word. Yes, there are certain things that are humorous But there are certain things that are You know that people find it very entertaining and etc all that could happen, right? But the main thing is that Well, it's going to build up the person. It's going to edify the person So so everything that we share needs to have a scriptural backing Right, it's from the word Okay, any questions or anything that you might You might want to add Okay, any questions at all? I think at all Okay, so you can look at this. Um, I don't know if you've read the book God's word the miracle seed Okay, you can you can download that The link is there in the notes You can download that God's word the miracle seed again. It's an apc publication past ashes written that You could download that you could use that You could just read through that and uh, there's much more, right? It just goes into depth about Um, what's God's what what God's word is intrinsically and what we can do with You know the word of God like as a believer I receive it as a believer. I meditate upon it I reflect upon it. I confess it Um, and I you know, I declare I obey the word like what we see in Joshua chapter 1 verse 8 and I do all that And experience the power of God's word. So that's a very um practical and a very useful book to go through So I'd like us to read through it also. Okay Okay, we'll stop here and then we'll continue next class uh on thursday And we will we will finish this chapter and also look into you know, how to study the This word of God we're talking about the logos how to study the word and uh, how we can use different ways To study and it can really enrich us, right? Okay, so we'll stop here. Thank you

All right boys the number one question I get all the time is how much money will I spend on Madden? How much money should you spend on Madden? How much money will we spend on mutt? Let's talk about it now first of all when we talk about mutt it is One mode in Madden Madden. It's not Madden.  There's plenty of people that play rags One of the biggest things you have to do is realize that you're gonna feel a little left out over here on the YouTube content thing because Mutt is king of the content right now. That's the only thing But there's still more people that play rags than any other mode if you want to play comp rags Head on over to players lounge that link will be below sign up there You can play tournaments you can play head-to-head for money whatever it may be in any day I grew up playing rags head-to-head Over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over just for fun Chargers Patriots Eagles over and over I remember playing with Ed Reed and Ray Lewis So that's how I grew up.  That's perfectly fine There's nothing wrong pick buying Madden picking up and playing rags.  What is your goal in Madden? You have to set those down, you know You can just you can be a casual you can be a guy that just wants to play grind build his team Whatever it may be The comp side like if you want to be belt comp compy belt dude I think you have to the one thing you have to realize what you're up against if you're a belt I want to go get a belt. I want to win the MCS. I want to play You have to realize that the people you're playing against will be playing 16 hours a day They will have every single card the day the game drops if they can pay for it They will have it. That is how the comp scene is That's how it's gonna be. That's what you'll be up against. Are you willing and that's probably, you know thousands of dollars day one Because they are it's an investment on how good they are at the game Can they win some of that back if they make one live event might make, you know, $10,000 and win it all back So that's an investment for on the competitive side of Madden to try to keep up with that as a casual player even a kind of comp player is ludicrous especially with the tournament the first day It's tough to keep up with that if you want to go for it go for it by all means But I think you're at that point you're out there putting at least a thousand dollars in the game in the first day I you know, I think that's how that's gonna be Do I want to do that? Not really and if I was a comp player I probably wouldn't do that right away or if I wasn't a streamer I probably wouldn't do that right away, but you know, that's what you have to realize first and foremost And if you want to be casual, I would try to rock with whatever team you want My seat for this question how much do you spend?  I don't think I needed the super goons right away. I wanted to see how the game felt See what players I wanted on the field if my wire series are slow Let's try to get a Tyree kill if I wanted bigger body wire series. Okay, let's try to get Who at Mike Evans, you know, that's kind of how I think and see how the game plays Most important thing you do is judge what you need on your team off of how your team is performing for the most part and the same note Understand what you're using if you're running a gun a slot and you have two tight ends and two wide receivers You don't need to spend enough money to have a third wide receiver. That's just overkill For most part, that's how I feel but and same thing with defense if you're running a nickel normal You don't need eight dbs. You don't need two middle linebackers Whatever it may be figure out your personnel and kind of stated that personnel if you're kind of on a budget So for me, I that's what I would go for, you know I would try to get a quarterback and then put the ball in the field how we go It's gonna be interesting to see these rookie premieres. When do we get these cards, right? When do we get them because if we get them early that might be all we need, right? That might be all we need rookie premieres put them out there. Let's put Bryce young out there Let's put CJ Stroud will levis whoever it may be Let's see how they do and if that's good enough for my team So that's another thing I look forward to hopefully they come out at least in the launch Which would be the 18th. I believe hopefully they come out Monday, but probably not so Now for me as a streamer I know that you know, there's a lot of pressure that you guys put under are put under as mud players watching YouTube videos every single week every single day the newest card the newest drop the newest promo promo promo drops drops newest card newest card and I think that pressure makes you feel like you always need that newest card and In my Philosophy everything like that I feel like you'd be fine waiting a week for the newest promo if not two weeks And I think that can save you at least half of your money if you don't use the you know You don't need to get the newest card like you're gonna see me with the Richard Sherman the first day Yeah, look at the new Richard Sherman and it's gonna make you feel like you need that card And that's a pressure that comes with being a casual mud player or just being a casual competitive player And it's a constant pressure of I need the new card on YouTuber on Twitch and you don't honestly not early not right away anything like that and one of the other biggest pressures is Mentally, it's easy to say you're losing because of the cards you're losing because your team is not good enough It's easy to say that when an actuality if you can get better at the game your team matters less It's kind of how it works, you know The better you can get at the game your teams want to matter less and that's gonna carry over all year You know, you're good enough to play with the base elite team now Just imagine on Christmas, you know when one you got to save some money for some Christmas presents You don't got to buy the new ghost of Christmas past cards that come out because you've gotten better at the game to where Your Thanksgiving cards are still eating, you know, your kickoff cards are still eating I think that's how it is and I tell people all the time you'd be better off heading over to Matt turf comm Buying one of our membership packages to learn how to play the game better rather than buying that next bundle So that also that link is below as well boys if you want to head over to Matt turf But losing and you know feeling like you're not that good will give you the pressure of needing to get a new team That's another thing that's involved with spending money for your team so one You don't need the new promo cards and your team isn't going to make you better instantly Those are the two things you gotta fight the urge to think because that's what the you know The perception of the whole mutt universe is I need the new promo And I need the new or I need my team to be better at the game Those two things will give you pressures to continue to buy, you know have to and at the end of the day Let's be honest mutt is designed to get us to want to keep spending money. It is a Scam I don't want to say it's a scam. I don't know what the word I'm looking for but because it's fun We enjoy it. That's why we do it. You're not going to pay money to something. You don't enjoy so But it's designed to keep us going and it's designed to be something you spend money on but as far as launch man I'm going to spend money. I am a streamer. I am a Content creator and I'm a competitive person. So for me, I'm gonna have the best team one of the biggest things You gotta realize is you don't kind of keep up with me, you know that that's gonna be hard to do for regular people It's tough because you're gonna watch videos You're gonna watch everybody's videos and it'll be the newest card. So it's gonna be tough to keep up But before I'm gonna have some taxes people in a chat I don't spend money because it's for taxes a lot of people have that misconception. Let me show you guys exactly what taxes do here This is we're gonna go here. This is say we make a hundred thousand this year, right?  Let's say this is a hundred thousand here boys We're going with this. Oh, that's a racer. All right, so this is a hundred thousand This is our hundred thousand that we made right? This is our money. We made this year. Let's just say like I said Just say a hundred thousand boom. Here's the IRS.  They want their 25% So they'll come over here and they'll take 25% of what you make on the year as a business boom They take their 25% damn. I just lost I had to pay taxes 25k, right? 25k I had to pay in taxes.  I've never spent that much but for the sake of argument purposes Let's say we spent 25k on mutt Now we have Our net profits a hundred will will minus that business expense. You didn't think you were going to tax school here You didn't honestly. I'm not the smartest person. There's somebody in here. That's what tell me I'm probably wrong, but okay now our business our net income for the year because We had we made a hundred K, but we spent 20 on our packs, right? We spent 20 on our packs Now our income for the year is 80, right? So now we're sitting at 80 instead of a hundred K 80,000 now Mr.. IRS comes here and says damn. I still want your 25 percent, but now 25 percent of that is only to 20 K.  IRS comes and takes is not that high So that is where the mutt cards Write it off on taxes what it is is it it subtracts essentially from your gain as a business You know, but I still have to spend the money. It's not like the business goes anywhere It's not like the money just poof disappears or the IRS gives me back all the money that I spent on mutt packs That's not how it works. So it's not like I'm spending money So you asked me how much do I want to spend nothing? I want to have my rookie premieres and I want them to be good enough to play And honestly if the rookie premieres are good enough to play week one This will be the best promo madden has ever ever done If they give us a team from the jump that can compete right away This this rookie premiere will be the greatest promo EA has ever done without a doubt And I have high hopes for these rookie premieres Because one it was cool that they made us grind late in the year And if they worked and they work in demand 24, that would be awesome But that's a lot of faith. So the simple question. How much money am I going to spend as least as possible? I have a budget to where if I spend more than $500 then it's like, okay, I don't want to do this I hope my team is good enough to play But as a streamer and I want to be competitive. I want to play ladders next weekend I'm going to want to have the best team ever and I'm not going to allow Something, you know, I'm not going to allow a budget to hold me back on that So if I'm missing cards, we're going to keep buying bundles But like I said, you don't have to keep up with me. I would budget yourself whatever is comfortable for you I may be one bundle can get you going one to make the big bundle $100 I think that can get everybody going, you know, if you want a simple answer But at the end of the day, like I said, to start the video, you don't need to play much You can play regs simple as that Nothing wrong with playing regs and it's nothing wrong with a nobody spent grind There's nothing wrong with that The biggest thing is you have to mentally realize you'll be behind on the content youtube kings And you'll be behind the competitors super comp guys, but there's a super place in between You know, you got the comp guys You got the super nerd youtubers that have every card and then you got everybody else There's no there's nothing wrong with being in everywhere else and you can be on a budget You don't have to spend a lot of money there keep up I'm going to do a great series this year on are the cards worth it to help you guys I know you we always watch youtube videos every single week. Oh the newest card. He's awesome No half of them suck half of them you don't need and I want to make sure I do a youtube series on Are they worth it each single card and that way hopefully help you guys out because nobody should be spending money that they don't want to On mutt just to try to keep up man. It's a tough game. It's but it's fun. That's why we like it You know, it's the biggest question I get how much money you're going to spend hope I cleared some of these Uh questions you guys have about that if you have any more mutt spending questions, uh, you know I don't know what bundles will be the best. We'll try to figure that out I normally try to go for whatever bundle can give you the most cards in general Like I would say maybe just a bunch of you know gold what?  That's what I would shoot for but we'll see what the packs are looking like day one I will be live streaming it you guys know twitch.tv Slashed up that that link is below tons of links for you guys to look at below But I appreciate you guys watching this hope I cleared up any of your questions as far as spending money in mutt


One, my name is Laura Mitchell-Laura. The Land Porter Foundation works at the crossroad of two important communities, the land governance community and the open data community. And over the course of the last 12 years, we worked very hard to break silence and nurture a culture of learning cross-pollination and fertilization between these two sectors, which in our opinion enrich the land ecosystem. We need to build and strengthen connections between the land sector and other sectors. And this is really vital because land issues play a role in nearly all the conversations that the world is having around climate technology or human rights. And therefore it's really important to build connections and partnerships between communities and between organizations. Please come to our session on Thursday at 1.45 at the Landac conference.


Alright guys, so the sectioning is pretty simple.  And then we're going to split the head in half at the division point, which is right behind the ear, right where you see that head kind of curve towards the back. That's where you want to separate the front and the back. Then we're going to split directly down center back, and that's going to create a nice long vertical section and create two separate panels in the very back which you can see on the diagram next to the video. So I'm elevating everything straight up in the air. So we're working classic 180-degree section or hair cutting right now. The reason I wanted to make this video is because I want to show you guys that 180 degrees is holding it opposite of zero, right? So as I'm working through the head shape, zero would be straight down from this part of the head, so 180 degrees would be straight up. When we move to the top of the head, we're going to shift our angle that we're holding the hair because 180 degrees is not straight up. So when I was in beauty school, that's what they taught, was 180 degrees, you could basically turn the mannequin upside down, cut it flat, and then that would be a 180-degree haircut. We're shifting it today. This is kind of my own little version of what I think 180-degree haircut is and what actually truly collapses the entire weight and density of the haircut. So we just go through. Everything comes up to that stationary guide. So we cut everything horizontal across the top. Now I'm connecting each side together, but it's just very consistent staying square in the back of the head. Make sure I'm elevating everything to the exact same point, creating a very strong guideline in the top of the head. This is also considered concave layering. So those of you that like to do concave layers and you're working with a square shape in the back, horizontal is a great way to go because it's very simple to just elevate everything straight up in the air. You don't have to worry about your elbow getting in the way or elevating your elbow too much. It's just a really easy way to cut those concave layers in the back. And what a concave layer basically does is it's going to go through and collapse any of the shapes. It's going to create layers, very seamless looking layers, and just collapse in your shape. You're not building up any weight at that point. So as I finish up the back, now I'm going to work on the side. Now this is elevated at 180 degrees. My finger angle is shifting to help push more weight to the back of the head. So what I want to do is create almost a little more of a face frame in this haircut. So I'm over directing everything forward, but still straight up at 180 degrees. So I wanted to keep that 180 degree angle, but that doesn't mean everything has to come straight up and live flat square across the head. So we're creating more of a rounded layer, kind of pushing it off of the face to open up the face in this haircut. We're doing the same thing on the opposite side. So taking a horizontal section, but shifting my finger angle to create that length. Now the guideline is coming from the previously cut section. So I'm taking a piece of that top layer, which you can see at the bottom of my finger, and connecting it in the haircut that way. So we are connecting it. So just make sure that you see that guide in the back. And now I'm going to go through and blow it dry. This is a big thing I've been doing lately because as I'm trying to figure out ways to speed up time in the salon and also be more efficient. So I feel that blow drying the hair because I already have it sectioned and really seeing the shape kind of coming to life. Before I move on to cut my next section just works really well for me. I also, some people have asked, well, isn't the hair a little bit shorter? The hair isn't shorter. The density changes. So a lot of people talk about how hair kind of expands and grows when it starts to dry. Well, when it starts to dry, it doesn't shrink up or anything. It really just, the density expands so it makes it appear shorter. But the hair is never going to change really too much length. And either way, I like, it's not going to be that much to where if I connect the bottom and the top that you're going to notice it anyways. So now I'm going to go through and clean up the bottom. I don't start off the haircut on the bottom because I want to decide my length later. And I decide my length based on what the density looks like when I finish the layering of the haircut. So if it's a little weaker, I might take the length up a little bit. And maybe sometimes I can keep it a little bit longer. So you can see a nice strong line, a lot of really cool invisible layers in there. So pretty cool haircut so far. Now I'm going to part the hair where it's going to live. So this is where the 180 degrees is going to shift a bit. So think about where zero would be from this corner of the head. So now I'm elevating it straight up from that, which is 180 degrees. So it's a nice shift and a pretty cool angle that you can see that we're holding the hair. That's going to leave that side nice and light. And now I'm going to go through and cut the opposite side. And I'm going to bring that over to me. So as we're working on the top of the head to make it as light as possible because this is going to fall on the opposite side of the head, I'm completely shifting it to live at 180 degrees and give me a nice light feel when it flips back over to the other side. So she's going to wear this on the opposite side of the head. The other thing I want you to see and you can see it the best in the diagram is how my finger angle is on this. I'm pretty much following, we're over directing it a little bit over the corner of the eye. And my finger angle is shifting towards the corner of the eye as well. So I'm trying to get a little bit more of an angle on the cut to give it a nice little face frame. So I'll go through and blow it dry. Again, I love the fact that I've already dry and ironed the bottom. So the bottom is done. Now I just have to blow dry that top rectangle and my haircut's pretty much complete. So go through, vibra straight iron, iron it up. Use the Ergo paddle brush to get a nice flat wrap feel and giving us our polished look. I'm going to go through and show you guys another look after we get the dry cutting done. All right, you notice they switched to kind of a vent brush when I'm ironing. The reason I'm doing that is because I like to... I don't like to have as much tension. I like to get under the hair and kind of scoop it. I'm not trying to create such a flat feel. Plus it's a smaller brush, so it's just easier to work with. All right, now we're going to go through. You can see the face frame that we created using elevation. Now using elevation doesn't mean that you're going to have that perfect face frame. So what I like to do is just go in a little bit of slide cutting. This is with my Mizetani DB20 scissor. This is the scissor I talk about that I use all the time. I also have it on freestyleneducation.com. So if you'd like to check it out, definitely do that. It's on our shop. But I just go through when I slide cut and add the pieciness to the face frame so that those pieces just really happen for her when she goes to style her hair. And now I'm going to go through horizontal, elevate the hair up to that 180 degree point and just do a little bit of point cutting to lighten up the layers, soften it so it gets a nice flow to the layering as it falls. And now I'm going to grab that corner eye piece just to lighten that up a bit as well. Always good to do a little bit of point cutting on a hard line. If you're looking to kind of soften some weight, just going through there, deep point cut, but not trying to change it too much. Now you're going to see when I add this hairspray in, this is the Bercato medium hold hairspray. When I go in there, you can see those pieces just come to life that I cut in there doing that side cutting technique. So that's why I love doing that because it just separates it so much better. So you can see, pretty cool haircut. This is definitely cooler than the 180 degree haircut that I learned in school. This is wearable, definitely a great haircut. I would do on a lot of different clients. So hope you guys like that.  So like I said before, when I did the layering in the haircut, I did open layers.  So when I iron it, I iron it off the face and it's going to fall perfectly the way I wanted it to. And I'm using that brush again. This is a Paul Mitchell 413 brush. Probably one of my, the second favorite brush that I use. So it's pretty much good for anything you're working with. So now the last little bit, I'm curling the bang or the kind of fringe area, the opposite direction and I'll go through, use my fingers to push the hair back and then hairspray to finish off the look. You can see how nice those layers come off of the face. Pretty psyched on this 180 degree haircut. Hope you guys like it. Let me know in the comments below. Love to hear your thoughts. Thanks.
