And if you will, you can turn to 1 Timothy chapter 2. Thank you, brothers. All right, thank you, guys. Our sermon title this morning, we are in 1 Timothy chapter 2, and we've been working through this paragraph from verses eight through 15. The title of the sermon is Fit for Godliness. We're in part three, and we have been working through verses eight and nine to begin, and now this morning we come to verse 10. We looked at verse nine in particular at being outwardly fit for godliness and then inwardly fit for godliness. Outwardly fit for godliness in the sense that the outward expressions of faith in Christ, the outward expression of the life is to reflect the inward reality of the heart. We are to be both outwardly fit for godliness. In other words, to those around you, your life should be an obvious testimony to Christ. If you've been genuinely saved, you've made a profession of faith in Christ, you've put your trust in Christ alone to save you, then you're making a promise or a claim to godliness. And today we'll look at how that claim to godliness is by the means of good works. But your life is to be a testimony of that claim to godliness, a testimony to Christ in an outward sense. But now that is only in an outward sense to the degree or to the extent that it reflects an inward truth in your own heart. Outward expressions of morality are empty, hollow, hypocritical, shameful if they are not associated with the godly reality of a changed heart in Christ Jesus.   We're to be outwardly fit for godliness, but that outward fit for godliness must be matched, must be the expression of an inward reality in the heart. And that is even with respect to dress. In verse nine we looked at how heart attitudes and how they are expressed in modest dress and behavior. And then we're told in verse 10 that women, and remember now men by application of the principle are to conduct themselves in a way that is fitting for their profession, fitting for their claim, their promise to godliness. They're to be outwardly fit for godliness, inwardly fit for godliness. And then today we'll see how we are to be effectively fit for godliness. Now we've unpacked that outward expression as a result of being inwardly fit for godliness. Today in verse 10 we wanna see how we are to be effectively fit for godliness. That effectiveness, empowered and enabled by the spirit of God, it is born out of the gospel and born out of the power of God in our lives. We are to be godly men and women. The Bible is a book about godliness. We're to live as godly testimonies of Christ and of His power in changing the life. Now this godliness is somewhat of a theme through 1st Timothy. We look at the letter from Paul to Timothy. We see several examples of this. In chapter two, verse two, we're to pray for kings, all those who are in authority, that we might live a life in all godliness. We're to live a life in all godliness. In chapter three, verse 16, Paul explains the great mystery of godliness. You'll catch on. Chapter four, verse seven, we are exhorted to exercise ourselves toward, there it is, chapter four, verse eight. Godliness is profitable for all things, having promise of the life that now is and of that which is to come. In chapter six, verse three, we are to consent to the doctrine which accords with, godliness. In chapter six, verse six, godliness with contentment is great gain. Chapter six, verse 11, we are to pursue godliness. That word pursue there means to run after, to press on, to strive for with zeal. We're to pursue godliness. And then here, in 1st Timothy, chapter two, verse 10, we're going to look at the life that is to reflect godliness. Godliness, therefore, is pretty important. We see that explicitly laid out several times in 1st Timothy, but again, everything with respect to scripture speaks of godliness. Our godly testimonies, our godliness that accords with right doctrine, right doctrine that accords with right practice, right living, were to be godly people. Godliness is important.  If you're a genuine disciple of Christ, then one of the great desires of your heart is to be godly, is to please the Lord. And if anyone ever says, you know, of you, boy that's a godly brother, that's a godly sister. That's like music to your ears, right? Our great desire is to be godly. We want to please him in the same token, the great hatred in the heart of every true believer. The great hatred in the heart is ungodliness, that which offends the Lord. We're not to be ungodly, we're to be godly. Now there's an expression in your heart, if you're a Christian, toward this godliness that's been authored by the Spirit of God, empowered by the Spirit of God. It's a part of your changed nature. And I like this, here's a poem that I read, a prayer, that is the expression of that heart. See if you can relate to this. It starts out this way, oh savior of sinners, may thy approbation or thy approval be my only aim, thy word my only rule. Make me to abhor that which grieves thy Holy Spirit, to suspect consolations of a worldly nature, to shun a careless way of life, to reprove evil, to instruct with meekness those who oppose me, to be gentle and patient toward all men, to be not only a professor, but an example of the gospel, displaying in every relation, office and condition, its excellency, loveliness and advantages. And then notice the humility.  How seldom have I served my generation. How often have I injured and not recommended my redeemer. And how few are those blessed through me. And many things I have offended, in all comes short of thy glory. And pardon my iniquity for it is great. That's just the longing, isn't it? Of a desire in the heart of a Christian who wants to live for Christ, who wants to be godly. And the Christian life is distilled in essence, the Christian experience distilled in essence in this understanding of godliness, that we are to live godly. And that is clearly example for us in Titus. Look over just a few pages to the right to Titus chapter two, Titus chapter two. This, the Christian life distilled in one great statement from Paul here to Titus. Titus chapter two and look at verse 11. Here Paul says, for the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. Teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lust we should live soberly, righteously and godly in the present age. Looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and savior Jesus Christ who gave himself for us that he might redeem us from every lawless deed, everything ungodly, right? And purify himself, make someone godly. Purify for himself his own special people zealous for good works. We're to speak these things, we're to exhort and rebuke with all authority and let no one despise you. Look at chapter one and verse one just in the same page there and look at the purpose of Paul's apostleship. Paul, a bond servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ according to or for the purpose of the faith of God's elect and the acknowledgement of the truth which accords with what? Godliness, we're to have faith, genuine saving faith. Paul was concerned with the salvation of souls. He wanted people to come to Christ and then the knowledge of the truth which accords with a godly life. The godly life is to be an expression of that truth. It is the truth which accords with godliness. Here back in 1st Timothy chapter two Paul exhorts us to live a life that reflects this godliness and then gives us in verse 10 the effective means of that namely good works and we're gonna look at that today. As Christians we are to be effectively fit for godliness. So now point three and our third sermon here effectively fit for godliness. Let's look at verse 10 together. He starts out with a word but a contrasting word then says which is proper for women professing godliness with good works. Now verse 10 begins with that word but it's a strong contrast. It is contrasting that which should not be the adornment of women with what should be the proper adornment of women and guys you know that by way of application of that principle that applies to you and I as well. He's contrasting that which should not be a woman's adornment with what should be. Immodest dressed should not be the adornment of a woman now he's saying that what is proper for those professing godliness is good works what should be the adornment of women. He uses the plural there women to mean all women. Not just as an emphasis that applies to all women even today in the church. As we carefully studied verse nine we found that there are those things which are proper for godliness and those things which are not by contrast. There is clothing we gotta get used to this concept. There is clothing that is proper for godliness and there is clothing that is not proper for godliness. There are outward behaviors outward attitudes outward deportment the way that you conduct yourself your behavior your mannerisms that are proper for godliness and those outward expressions that are not proper for godliness. There are heart attitudes that are proper for a Christian and heart attitudes that certainly are not proper for a Christian. And these heart attitudes are expressed here specifically in the way that you dress and the way that you carry yourself. And this is not, so we understand here, this is not an anachronism, it's not outdated, it's not culturally irrelevant, it is not legalistic, study your Bible.  And we're to live that way because God is concerned about these things, these things matter. And they matter if you make a principle or make a profession or make a claim for godliness. There's a principle that has to be applied here, even with respect to the way that you dress. In other words, your clothing specifically, your heart attitudes, your behavior, your mannerisms, your way of life must be lined up with God's word. It has to be. It needs to be lined up with your profession of faith. You are to be godly. Now that principle isn't only for women, it's concerned with here men as well. This is absolutely applicable and essential to all who profess the name of Christ. And we're reminded, even looking at verse nine alone, that there is here a right and a wrong, right? There is a light and there is a darkness. There is a good and there is an evil. There's a truth, there's an error. There is a black. There's a white when it comes to scripture. In other words, to profess to being a Christian is to claim or to promise a life lived in godliness that is attained or achieved through the means of good works. Now we look at verse 10, but which is proper for women professing godliness with good works. What is being claimed here or promised in verse 10 is godliness. That word, the asa bayan, it's a word that means someone who fears God and does as well. Now that's a healthy fear of God. It's a healthy fear of offending God, a healthy fear that leads a disciple of Christ to walk circumspectly, to walk in wisdom, to try to avoid that which would offend God and try to do that which would please God. It's a reverence for a devotion to God that is inevitably linked to obedience to His commands. And that's godliness. Godliness with disobedience is no godliness at all. It's an empty hollow godliness. There is no godliness. That's ungodliness. Godliness separated from a life that is lived in devotion to God is no godliness. It is ungodliness. Here specifically in verse 10, the text is saying that this godliness now is achieved or attained by means of the good works, by means of good works. There's a Greek word translated there with in verse 10. That is a preposition in the Greek. And for you Greek guys, it's a dative of means, which means it describes the means by which something takes place. In other words here, the godliness here that is mentioned that we are to display happens or is achieved or is attained by means of good works. That we're to achieve that godliness by means of good works. Means our profession of faith in Christ is a promise to God. That again, that word there for promise that we will live for Christ Jesus. That we will live to produce good works for Him as a testimony of our profession of faith. That we are to obey Him. We're to live godly lives. This is extremely important to understand. Most of evangelicalism today and most of the pulpits around the world today, that's not what's being taught. You can live how you want to live. It's the sincerity of your profession that gives you the grounds of your assurance. That's not what Scripture teaches. The Bible clearly teaches that the grounds of your assurance is going to be godliness in keeping, in being fitted for your profession of faith in Christ. Those two are to link up. Ephesians chapter 2 verse 10 says this, for we are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. It is the means of those good works by which that wonderful adjective of godly is acquired. It's through the means of those good works. Now, is this just avoidance, ethics? We call ourselves a Christian. Are we a Christian now? Simply because of a profession of faith and that which we attempt to avoid. You know what? I'm not going to rob banks. Not going to do it. I'm not going to murder any. I'm going to switch to decaf. All right? Is that what this is? Is that what godliness is in part? Yeah, you're going to abstain from sin. You're to flee youthful lust. You're to stay away from those things and offend God. But is that it? Is that it? Is that all there is to this idea of godliness? I'm just going to stay away from those things that are bad. It might be viewed as sinful. No, it's much, much more than that. Godliness is aggressively putting off sin. It is aggressively and assertively striving to put off the old man putting on the new man such that you are to, as Scripture says, suffer that sin violence. You are to strive, if necessary, to the point of bloodshed.  It is to be so serious that you take aggressive steps to free yourself from that sin and the power of the Holy Spirit. By the power of the Spirit, you are to put to death the deeds of the body. It is an aggressiveness toward godliness. It's an assertiveness towards, in the power of the Spirit, again, through his word, pursuing holiness, pursuing your sanctification. So, certainly, it's not just, well, I'll keep myself from that or I'm going to try to stop that. Not just avoidance ethics. But more than just avoidance ethics, it's the life that you live. These are, these good works at the end of verse 10 here are those works, Christian obedience, that springs from or is the fruit of genuine saving faith in Christ.  So the Lord promises. So the Lord purchased on the cross. He purchased your obedience to that work, which he prepared beforehand that you should walk in them. It's part of God's saving work. That's the power of God in the life. Now, think about it now. In the same way, that clothing cannot in and of itself or by itself make a woman godly. She has to have the heart with it, right? But that clothing adorns the woman. Adorns the modest woman and it adorns her with that which is proper or fitting for godliness. It's an adornment of her inward heart reality. In the same way, you cannot become a Christian by doing good works. But good works in the same way will inevitably, absolutely, certainly adorn the life of a genuine Christian such that it points to your profession of faith, points to your faith in Christ, points to the changed heart, the power of God in you, his indwelling Spirit. It points to you as a trophy of God's grace pulling you from bondage to sin now being slaves of righteousness. This is a changed life. And in most of evangelicalism today, there's this effort or this desire to strip away that power from the Gospel and simply boil it down to nothing more than an empty profession, some empty prayer. This is the power of God. James says that faith without works is a dead faith. Those works will confirm or give credence to or evidence of your genuine faith. If you don't have the works, you don't have the faith. It's a dead sham faith. In chapter 2 verse 22, it says that by works, this is James 2 22, by works faith is made complete or perfect. It is confirmed to be true, confirmed to be genuine. But now think of yourself. What if that aggressive striving against or turning from sin isn't there? What if that aggression, that striving, that agonizing to enter into the straight gate? That desire for holiness, what if that's not there? What if those works? Obedience to his commands. Think about your evangelism. Think about your meditating and study of God's Word.  What if those works, the fruit of his spirit, what if they're not there? And your faith is a sham. Your faith is empty. It is hollow. As James says, it is dead. This is the godliness that is produced by or evidenced by good works that goes hand in hand with a genuine saving profession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. However, it even goes beyond that. It even goes beyond that. 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 12 says this, yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. Will suffer persecution. If we see scripture rightly, then this isn't merely a faith or a godliness that abstains from sin. Not just simply a faith or a godliness that aggressively strives against sin. Not just a godliness that actively, proactively and assertively hates ungodliness. Not even that which obeys commands. But here, this is radical, resolute and risk-taking godliness. That you can't be just simply content to obey. You will take a stand. If you have this faith, if you have the fruits of this faith, if you have this changed heart, then you're going to open your mouth for Christ. You're going to take a stand for godliness. You're going to take a stand against compromising the gospel.  You take a stand, you get persecuted. You evangelize, you get persecuted. And this is the radical, resolute, risk-taking godliness that goes hand in hand with a profession of faith in Christ. Now ask yourself, are you being persecuted? Are you being persecuted for your faith? If not, why not? I am reminded, we've told this story before, but I just love it. It's a wonderful story of Wesley. Leaves a sermon that he preached, so used to being persecuted. Persecuted all the time. Persecution, persecution, persecution. He leaves a sermon, realizing that he wasn't persecuted. As soon as he comes to the realization, he's off his horse on the side of the road praying to God. Farmer hearing him pray, picks up a rock and throws it at Wesley. And Wesley praises God. Thank you, Lord, for being persecuted. In Wesley's mind, not to be persecuted, there was something wrong.   If you're not suffering persecution, why not?  Examine your evangelism.  It doesn't take that long. Take a stand. Be uncompromising. This is not just godliness that arises out of avoidance. This is not just godliness that just obeys those things you want to obey. This is godliness that arises here in persecution. Taking a stand for righteousness. Taking a stand for Christ. Following Him with your life. It is that godliness that's going to result in even here testing and trial and suffering and persecution and testing and trial and suffering and persecution. That is the Christian life. And we've got our brothers and sisters throughout history that have proven that fact. You know, Ray Comfort uses an example that I like. Ray Comfort says this, I'll give you a thousand dollars to go over and witness to that guy. You heard this? I'll give you a thousand dollars to go over and witness to that guy. Now think about it. Most everyone would do that. A thousand bucks I go over and witness to that guy. You'll take the thousand dollars. You'll overcome your fear of man for a love of money but you will not overcome your fear of man for love of Christ and a love of His gospel and a love for the soul of that lost person who is dying and going to hell. What if we paid you a thousand dollars to show up? Show up for evangelism. Show up for the services. Show up for group. You'll show up for a love of money but you won't show up for a love of Christ. For a love of His word. For a love of lost souls. You see that the twisted, wicked, deplorable reasoning in our own minds in our own hearts.  But that's something we have to gouge out. We have to be purifying ourselves from. We need to repent of and turn from. This is a godliness that for love of Christ, for love of God, for love of the gospel, for a burden for the laws, this is a godliness that we obey. This is a godliness that we pursue. That we apply ourselves to as Christians. Is that legalistic? No, this is not salvation by works. This is salvation that works. And these works, these good works, prepared by God from before the foundation of the world that we should walk in them, these are works that He purchased with His own blood. That He gave Himself for. There were to be testimonies of His grace. Were to share the gospel and build His church and bring them into the kingdom. This is the way we're to live our life. This godliness is so much more than just what most people think that it is. Gotta inform our understanding from God's word and live in uncompromising godliness. John Bunyan said this the following Christ. He said, the following of me Christ is not like following the following of some other masters. The wind sits always on my face and the foaming rage of the sea of this world and the proud and lofty waves thereof do continually beat upon the sides of the bark or ship that myself, my cause, and my followers are in. He therefore that will not run hazards and that is afraid to venture a drowning. Let him not set foot into this vessel. Christianity today is so packed with nominal Christians. We don't need one more. We need those that will follow Christ, that will charge hell, that will witness to the lost and see His kingdom grown. See, elect coming into the house of God. This nominal Christianity is deadly to Christianity. It's poisonous and corrupt and ruins the testimony of godliness that the churches have to have to the world. If this world does not rise up against you in response to your promise of godliness and not just the world, those religious, those are the ones that persecuted Christ. Those are the ones that persecuted the apostles. Those that held them out themselves out to be religious. They don't rise up against you. Something is wrong. Take stock of your life right now.  Let no one deceive you. He who practices and it's this kind of godliness, this righteousness, he who practices righteousness is righteous as he is righteous. Those aren't practicing that righteousness. They're of the devil.  The Bible says in 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 5 that there are those who have a form of godliness but they deny its power. That power there is the enabling grace of God in the life of a believer that transforms, that overcomes sin, that empowers to follow Christ. This is the power, as 2 Peter 1.3 says, has given us all things that pertain to life and to godliness. Are you professing godliness but you don't have that power at work in you? Are you sitting around in your apathy, in your indifference when it comes to the commands of God? Does your life match your profession? Listen, it is a wicked, hypocritical thing, the Lord in the parable of the fig tree sees a fig tree. Fig tree simply producing leaves, no fruit. The Lord himself about to uproot that tree, cast it into the fire and decided to wait three years. Let's dig around it. Let's fertilize it, see if then it will produce fruit. If it doesn't produce fruit, then it's nothing, it's worth nothing but to be dug up and thrown into the fire. You may be here today and you profess the name of Christ.  You don't take a stand for Christ. You're not fervently serving Him.    We're to live for Christ.  And this today is the great hypocrisy of our professing Christian culture that they would profess to embrace the gospel of godliness only to live ungodly. We'll stand before God and we'll give an account. Romans 2 says this. Christ will render to each according to His deeds, His good works or His bad works. Eternal life to those who by patient continuance in doing good seek for glory, honor and immortality but to those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, tribulation and anguish on every soul of man who does evil to the Jew first and also to the Greek for there is no partiality with God. In Revelation 20 we see the account of the great white throne judgment. The Lord Jesus Christ came first as suffering servant. He'll come again as judge and He'll judge the nations. It says there, the small and the great. They'll stand before the throne and Christ will judge them and He judges them according to their works. Let me give you an example of what that looks like. Go to Matthew chapter 25. Matthew chapter 25. Saved by grace and grace alone through faith alone and the Lord Jesus Christ alone. When you're judged, you'll be judged by your works. Judged by your deeds, whether good or bad. There will be a resurrection of life or of everlasting shame and contempt based on again your works. Here is a different judgment. This is a judgment of the sheep and the goats at the end of the tribulation but it gives you an example of what that looks like as we go through this. Look at Matthew chapter 25. Look beginning in verse 31. Here Christ says, when the son of man, it's a title for himself, speaks of his humanity. When the son of man comes in his glory and all the holy angels with him then he will sit on the throne of his glory instantly from humanity to king to glory, right? Verse 32, all the nations will be gathered before him and he will separate them one from another as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats and he'll set the sheep on his right hand but the goats on his left.  And look at what this is based on, verse 35. For I was hungry and you gave me food. I was thirsty and you gave me drink. I was a stranger and you took me in. I was naked and you closed me.  I was in prison and you came to me. It's like, well, wait a minute. I thought that this was salvation by grace through faith. This makes it sound like it's salvation by works. This is not a salvation by works. This is inevitably, inexorably, absolutely, certainly a salvation that works. It's a salvation that produces, purchased by Christ, produces good works. You'll be judged by those works that confirm the presence or absence of genuine saving faith. Those works confirm.  There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. Well, you'll go before Christ and you will give an account for your life. Romans 14, verse 10 says this, that all Christians will stand before the judgment seat of Christ that each of us will give an account of ourselves to God. 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verses 9 and 10 says this, therefore, we make it our aim. Listen, understanding this, understanding this, we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to him, for we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ that each one may receive the things done in the body according to what he has done, whether good or bad. That's Christians. Christians will give an account of themselves before God. Let that be a cause for adjoicing. When you stand before God to give an account, that can result in reward. The Lord giving you rewards for a life of devotion, a life of godliness as evidenced by good works. Those are rewards from Christ.  Are you building your life in service to God on a foundation of wood, hay, or stubble, which will be burned up? There's no condemnation. When we stand before the Lord to give an account of him who is given much from him, much will be required. Do something with the power of the Holy Spirit in you. Live for Christ. Be godly. Now, what does this godliness, where does it come from? What drives it? What brings it about? Certainly, it comes from a changed nature. You have a new heart, new nature. Your desire is to be godly, to live a godly life pursuing good works. It comes from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, working through the providence of God, working through the word of God to make you holy, to motivate you, to push you to good works, to godliness. It comes from a fear, a healthy fear of God. John Murray said this. He called the fear of God the soul of godliness. You don't have a fear of God, cultivate one. You don't know God well enough if you don't have a healthy biblical fear of God. And that's that fear that doesn't want to do anything to offend him, that fear of God that causes you to walk circumspectly, to be wise, to be cautious that you faithfully represent him to the world, to healthy fear of God. The promises of God. The promises of God should motivate us to godliness. There are great promises to those who are living godly lives. The great blessings of God. John Bunyan, I love John Bunyan. He said this again. God hath strewed all the way from the gate of hell where thou wast to the gate of heaven whether thou art going with flowers out of his own garden. I love that. Behold how the promises, invitations, calls and encouragements like lilies lie round about thee. Is that a blessed thought, Christian? The promises of God like lilies. He just adorns you with promises. Adorns you with strength. Adorns you with his spirit. Adorns you with grace. Take heed, he says, that thou dost not tread them underfoot center. With promises that I say, yea, he hath mixed all those with his own name, his son's name also, with the name of mercy, goodness, compassion, love, pity, grace, forgiveness, pardon and whatnot that may encourage the coming center. The promises of God. Godliness should come about from testing will. If you're a Christian, godliness will come as a fruit of testing, as a fruit of trial, as a fruit of suffering. We're to take joy in trials because of the godliness, the patience, the perseverance, the proven character that trials and tests and suffering bring about. It will bring about godliness. If you want to be godly, be prepared to suffer. He made the captain of our salvation perfect through suffering. He'll sanctify you through suffering. But is it worth it? Isn't it worth it? Lord, I want to be godly. I want to live for Christ. I want to exude at Christ with every breath and be prepared to suffer. Be prepared to endure tests and trials. The excellencies of Christ should motivate and push you to pursue godliness, his perfect life, his perfect sacrifice, his resurrection, his example, his glorious example, the power of God. 2 Peter 1.3 goes on to say, His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness through what? Through the knowledge of Him. Through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue. It's the power of God, the knowledge of Him. God, through the power of His might, purchased by the blood of Christ for you will make you effective in godliness. He alone can. It is all a product of His Spirit, by faith in Christ, purchased by Christ on the cross. If you're a Christian, all of these great and glorious things, all of these great and glorious truths that have been secured for you, sought by God, bought by Christ and wrought by the Holy Spirit are for you to make you effectively fit for godliness. If you're not, you've got a question whether your faith is a genuine faith. You must claim that promise of God, these promises of God by faith in Christ and live for Him. Live like it. Maybe you haven't yet turned to Christ. Maybe you find yourself waiting for something. Waiting for the Lord to do something. You hear that, don't we? Waiting until you're better. As the hymn goes, if you wait until you're better, you'll never come at all. You'll never be saved. You'll never be saved. Maybe you're waiting for a better time. You know, I'm not ready. Don't you see?   You excuse yourself by waiting on the Lord. You excuse yourself by waiting on repentance, waiting on faith, waiting for the Lord to do something. There is no excuse. The Bible never tells you to wait for the Lord. It says to wait on the Lord. It's a totally different thing. Trying to wait for the Lord. Your duty is to turn and to flee to Christ. The Lord bids you come. Will you come? Will you turn from your sin and live a godly life for Christ? Who has done everything? It's all accomplished in Him? It's all done in Him? The Lord bids you come. Come to me, He says. All you who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am gentle and lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Jesus stood and He cried out saying, if anyone thirsts, let him come. Let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water. Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters.  Yes, come buy wine and milk without money and without price. The Spirit and the bride say, come and let him who hears say, come. Let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely. Let the wicked forsake his way. The unrighteous man his thoughts. Let him return. Let him come to the Lord and he will have mercy on him and to our God for he will abundantly pardon. Lord bids you come. Make a profession or a promise of godliness that you will in the power of the Spirit by faith in Christ, evidence by your good works that are done in Christ to give glory to Christ.  That bring reproach to the name of Christ? A turn from your sin. The Lord bids you come. And it's your duty to come. Today is the day. Now is the time. There is nothing to wait for. It's simply an excuse.  That's the fruit that the Lord is looking for. That's the fruit of genuine saving faith. You won't produce that on your own. If you try to produce it on your own, you will be hopelessly in despair. That's produced by faith in Christ. Turn to the Savior. Trust in him and live a life fitting for godliness. You've been effectively fit by God for godliness. If you're his, live for him. Let's pray together. Father in heaven, Lord, we praise you for your word, for this truth. God, thank you for the power, the enablement by your spirit to live for you. I thank you for those precious promises. God, those lilies draped around us. We can live. Walk along this Christian life in and among. Thank you for the excellency of Christ and his shed blood on Calvary that purchased our redemption, freed us from bondage. That we might, Lord, be your own special people. Zealous for good works. Which, as Ephesians says, Lord, you prepared beforehand that we should walk in them? God, find us faithful to obey you in these things. God, find us faithful trophies of your grace. Lord, protect us from making a profession of godliness but denying its power, living like the world, and where we want to exude Christ, bleed, be blind, live for him wholeheartedly because you are worthy to be worshiped and praised.  And we, Lord, your humble and contrite servants, Lord, desire from the heart with all that we are, all our heart, soul, mind, and strength to worship you in this way. Thank you, Lord, for those promises that we live according to that say it will be so if we're in Christ. Anyone here, Lord, is not in Christ. I pray that you would just crush them under the weight of their sin, lay your gracious but heavy hand upon them, pierce them with conviction, and press them until they press them into the Kingdom by your Spirit through faith in Christ and save their soul for your glory. All this, Lord, because you are worthy. We pray these things in the name of our blessed God and Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.


Wendy says, I have been with this man for a little over a year, never lied or cheated, but he accuses me of how, of both. How do I get him to believe me?   And so that's what he feels. And so he projects that onto you, and he starts accusing you of those things. So the first thing that you, it's a red flag. And the first thing that you need to do is look and see if he's a liar and a cheater and look at kind of all the evidence that's out there and make sure that he's not, because there's a high probability chance that he is if he's accusing you of that. Then you can go from there. How is he going to believe you? Well, he has to, he has to trust you. And that takes time, especially if he's been wounded in the past. And that's where that's coming from.  It's that he's experienced a lot of women who are liars and cheaters. And so it's up to him to kind of heal that and work through that and figure out what's going on with that. And that's something that you can't necessarily do. He has to facilitate that process for himself. And he has to take a good look at what's going on with him and figure that stuff out himself.

Today's video is going to be probably one of the most exciting videos I think I've ever filmed if not the most exciting I always say I'm gonna quit podcasting like once I have Dolly Parton on because I will have peaked and I can do No better. I feel very similarly with this YouTube video, okay? I am partnering with skims on this YouTube video I actually feel like the coolest person in the world.  I love the shapewear I love like sets like this. I'll show you what I'm wearing if I could I would wear a set like this every single day And I that's all I would sleep in that's on the house like I am so obsessed with these sets I am very very excited I'm gonna show you guys the items that I've recently picked up you guys have seen though I'm sure in some vlogs and some Instagram posts But I'm gonna go into detail on the items that I'm also gonna show you guys how I'm styling them guys Get excited so if you guys are watching this comment down below which piece is your favorite I have a lot of favorites. Actually, I already know which piece my favorite is I'll tell you the very end of the video, but you guys can probably already guess Let me get rid of my coffee. We have some things to show you guys, okay? The first thing that I love is what I'm wearing right now I have this tank top this little bralette and these little like boxer briefs shorts I love these. I also have something similar and gray and I posted on my Instagram a few months ago So comfortable. I'm like obsessed with this I love these shorts. I have them in gray as well and like I said if I could I would wear these shorts in this Bralette to bed every day. It's all I would wear on my house. I just need more so as far as styling this I just have some slippers on I would really just wear this as like a cozy thing around the house I spend like 99.9% of the time in my house. So I always need things like this Here's my cute coffee like this is just such a vibe Especially if you're like making breakfast in the morning with your friends or people are coming over or whatever Like this would be like legitimately my uniform. I'll give you guys a little bit of a close-up So here is the tank top. I like how it's a little bit of like a boxy or fit here. Here are just the little boxers I think they're so cute and then here's the bralette again It actually feels supportive which is like my number one thing normally with these I'd be a little bit afraid But so comfortable so supportive like legitimately the best thing ever We're gonna get into the fits everybody collection because that's the stuff Really been loving lately. Okay, so if you guys aren't aware the fits everybody collection is The softest thing I like literally ever ever ever put on my body. It feels like buttery fabric There's underwear for everybody. They have nine shades. It also fits extra extra small to a 4x It's made to flatter and support all body types. I have a larger chest I'm a double D. So having bralettes that actually support me like pretty much don't exist until skims another reason Why I love skim so much and I've been wearing them long before they sponsored this video because it's actually supportive It literally feels like you're not wearing anything and it's actually supportive It's actually comfortable like it's the only thing I'm gonna wear it from here on out The underwear is the best underwear I've ever worn cannot say enough good things first thing I have is this bandeau top I have never had a bandeau top Actually stay up and like even when I was younger before like my chest grew even bigger I remember still having that problem. They just fall off all the time. This one doesn't move It is unlike anything I've ever ever ever like seen but I literally could not describe it to you I've always like really needed a strapless bra or a bandeau that actually like stuck. This is just like a game changer Here's a bandeau top. I know that's like such a weird thing to do But like it just doesn't fall like it is stuck that is it doesn't move I cannot tell you the amount of times that I've had to like change an outfit because I needed a bandeau or like A strapless bra and it just wasn't staying up and I just didn't want to deal with it all day So I took off the outfit change the whole thing and blah blah blah This is like going to save my life this summer. I just like cannot believe it next thing I have is this triangle bralet So I got this in a size medium. It's just a nude color this again It doesn't look like it would really like support my chest But it does and it is so comfortable like that's what I really like about this collection is that it doesn't feel Like you're wearing anything. It's so good It's also it's good for like literally anything like under t-shirts and stuff when you don't want to be wearing like an Underwire and all that like really uncomfortable like bras and underwear So here's the triangle bralet again like I just cannot believe that these are actually Supportive I I know I keep saying that but it's just actually a big deal like this just doesn't happen to me So I really love this I honestly have to say I think this one's probably my favorite This is the scoop neck bralet again. I'm wearing a size medium literally the best stuff I've ever worn. I feel like I'm saying that non-stop in this video, but like I actually just ask Dom I talk about all the time All right, so here is this bralet. It is so comfortable even just wearing this with like sweatpants That's another thing I wear like 24-7. I love this. It's really comfortable again really light But actually supportive here. I have the boy shorts Love there's just something about this material that's super lightweight But it's such good quality that it's not just gonna break and it actually still supports you Like I don't know what kind of like witchcraft they're doing, but like it really works really comfortable again I'm so flattering here the boy shorts as well. I don't wear more shorts as much But again, it's just like something that you need really really soft again supportive I know literally feels like buttery. These are the cheeky briefs same thing I honestly I don't think I'll ever wear underwear that doesn't from skims I can't trust that enough and then we have the dip thong. Okay, so as far as what I wear the most out of all That I wear the thong the cheeky brief and the scooped brahlet the most those are like my top three The bandeau is one of those things that you just need to have I love the triangle brahlet as well though like when I'm just walking around But I would just say like as far as what I wear the most it would be those three getting in to the bodysuits I said this in New York I was like no wonder the Kardashians like look how they do in these bodysuits because they are The most flattering like they really suck you in but they like I don't know like your shoulders look better Like your chest looks better everything about it just looks better So I have this green color which I really really love also like buttons on the bottom really make a big difference I like this bodysuit a lot. It's a little bit of a different cut I like how it's really wide and kind of boxier obviously. I'm not wearing bras with these I don't need to I was gonna style it I would just pair it with these jeans just kind of like looser fit some sneakers This is really easy even just wearing this on a stick throughout the summer It's such an easy thing to like throw on it feels good. You're locked in it's flattering I love this and then I think if it's later on at night Let's say I'm getting like dinner with friend going to a movie something like that I would just pair it with this leather jacket. So this is what we have. I love this look I feel really confident and like comfortable and this stuff and I love obviously the bodysuit Like it's just so cute again like no wonder the Kardashians look like this. It's very flattering I love and then you guys will not be surprised. This is my favorite thing. I got I wore this Not that long ago when I was in New York It is so flattering like I love the cut when I saw this honestly I thought it was cute, but it wasn't until I wore it where I was like This is the best thing I've ever put on my body and like I want to wear it every single day You can dress it up. You can dress it down. It's really cute something I really love about it. I spill water on myself like all the time I don't know why and it dried really quickly Just cuz like, you know, I'm a mess. All right, everyone my favorite piece So I love a good chocolate brown moment as we all know I wore this not that long ago and I said it kind of similarly it was colder out though So I will put that on the screen that was like an airport look But this is what I would wear on like a cute little like coffee stroll I have these like brown wide-leg sweats on and then I just have some brown little like kind of furry slides I love how this is just really chill very comfy But you can see how flattering this is as well if I was a Sims character like this would be my look a little bit close-up of The bodysuit it cuts perfectly. It's really flattering the material is incredible, but it's not too thick like in the summer There's nothing worse than wearing a bodysuit that makes you sweat This one won't do that and it also dries really quickly anyways Like honestly if you buy anything I ever recommend to you I would actually say like this bodysuit. It is so good.  It's all I wear this one It feels like you are a cloud it is so soft first off this jacket You can wear with so many different things you don't even have to wear them together But I just think it's so cute to like throw on and then you have matching bottoms I mean literally like you are a cloud a marshmallow in the best way possible It is the softest thing ever and somehow it's like pretty flattering like this material I'd be afraid that it would like not be that flattering But you know, of course they've got covered the softest set you'll ever have in your entire life. I mean this is Unbelievable so if I'm styling this I've already actually worn this outfit And I'll show you exactly how I work because this is my favorite. So I'm just throwing on some socks Some slides and calling it a day. That's what I like about sets You don't really have to do much with them, but it's just like again guys so comfortable Just like I cannot describe the set to you You will never wear anything imagine just like being in a cloud as you're walking That's what this outfit feels like this is what I'm wearing when I'm going to grab like my coffee going on Can I still morning walk the lake or even just around the neighborhood? I mean this is it guys like this is really it This is truly a dream collaboration for me because I am the biggest fan obviously of Kim But also just of skims and the brand as a whole. I love everything they come out with I'm literally obsessed with them So you guys made it this far comment below where you guys are watching this video from I will have every Piece linked below that I talked about. I know this is a sponsored video, but I talked about skims Genuinely like weekly so if you guys are not on the bandwagon like you need to get on anyways I love you guys so much be sure to subscribe because have it already and I will talk to you soon. Bye I lived in a garage Which I looked back on and I'm like how did I do that? But at some time I was just so happy to be there and I started doing red carpet interviews Obviously, I wasn't good enough for anybody to pay me and I just needed like practice


Live from Las Vegas, it's theCUBE, covering Magento Imagine 2019, brought to you by Adobe. Hey, welcome back to theCUBE. Lisa Martin with Jeff Frick live at the Win Las Vegas for Magento Imagine 2019 with about 3,500 people here. Give or take a few. We're very pleased to welcome Magento Evangelist Ben Marks to theCUBE. Ben, welcome. Thank you, thank you, thank you for having me. I appreciate you making time. And thanks for bringing the flair to our set. I've got to let people know where my allegiances lie, right? So this is the first Magento Imagine post-Adobe acquisition that was announced about a year ago, completed about six or seven months ago. You have a very strong history with Magento the last 10 years. Magento is very much known for their developer community, their open source history and DNA. Talk to us about how things are now with the community and really the influence that the developers have. Well, if it's up to me, we retain this really strong influence in the business. I mean at the core of Magento, since its inception, the very humble beginnings that it had back in 2007, has been this developer ecosystem. And that is what takes the software, basically all the output and all of the expertise and intuition that we have that we put into our products and our services. It only goes so far. Now it is a platform that tends to fit in a lot of places but it only goes so far and we have that last mile is that is the most important distance that we cross and we cannot do it without this ecosystem. They are the ones that they know, they understand the merchant requirements, they understand the vertical, they understand the region, they understand cross-border concerns, whatever it may be, they know our product from an expert perspective and then they take that and they make it make sense. That being the case, Adobe I think so far has shown excellent stewardship in terms of recognizing the value. A big part of that 1.7 billion price tag, they paid for the community. They knew this ecosystem was the real, it's always been the X factor in Magento. And so they have, I think they've been very diligent. Well, now that I'm an employee, we've been very introspective about what that means as part of Adobe, as part of this massive set of opportunities and new addressable market that we have. And we're just all trying to make sure that we look after all of these people who are at the end of the day probably our biggest champions. Just curious how you've been able to maintain that culture? Because to be kind of open source and open source first, I don't know if first is the right word, but open source neutral or pro along with your proprietary stuff and to really engage developers is such a special talent and it's a special culture because by rule you're saying that there's more smart people outside of our walls than inside of our walls and embracing and loving that. But you guys have gone through all kinds of interesting kind of evolutions on the business side in terms of ownership and management. Have you been able to maintain that? And what is kind of the secret sauce? Why are the developers so passionate to continue to develop on Magento? Because let me tell you, we go to a lot of conferences and a lot of people are trying really hard to get that developer to spend that next unit of time working on their platform versus a different one. Well, you know, it's endemic to our culture, right? That whether it's a developer, someone who's working, who's an expert in administering Magento stores, just whatever someone's focus is in this ecosystem. It is interesting. What we've always had at the underpinning everything has been this open source ethos, right? So from the very beginnings of Magento, the creators, Roy Rubin and Yov Kutner, they sought out, as they announced this Magento thing back in the day, they intentionally made it open source because they knew that that had been proved by a previous open source commerce software and they knew that that was really where they were going to win. That was a force multiplier. Again, the thing that would get them into markets that they couldn't address with their very small agency that they were working out of. So through the years, that grew. And in large part, we can thank the doc community, especially in Germany, the Dutch community. There's just a general open source ethos there, right? But I learned about open source from Magento, right? I had someone help me out when I was first starting, my first week working with Magento as a developer, I had to go into, there was no documentation, I had to go into a chat room and ask for help. And this guy, he actually spent about a couple hours helping me and we remain close friends to this day. But at the end of it, I'm like, so should I pay you? And he was, this guy from outside of Heidelberg, he's just, no, no, this is open source. It's just as you learn, give it back. And that is a perfect summation for a big part of the spirit here. It helps that we're in e-commerce, right? There's money, there's money kind of flowing all around. But at the end of the day, we provide options. We provide flexibility where, there's nothing wrong with the SaaS platforms, there's nothing wrong with some of the larger like API driven platforms.  So they feel a sense of ownership, I think, because of that. And they're sort of proud to take this wherever they can. So with the Adobe acquisition being complete around six, eight months, you mentioned Adobe doing a good job of welcoming this community, but you also talked about this core ethos that Magento brings. I believe in the press release announcing the acquisition last year, Adobe said open source is in our DNA. Have you found that one to be true? And two, how much has the Magento open source community been able to sort of open the eyes and maybe open the door to Adobe's ethos of embracing it? Let's see, how much trouble can I get into today? There's only a few people watching, don't go for it. So I have a good counterpart over Adobe. And it's really, it's a stress for me to call him a counterpart. He's got his JD, he's been big in the open source world for, since forever, but Matt A.C., probably if you- He's alone? Yep, if you follow tech online, like you've seen his posts, you've seen him postulating on open source. And it was interesting, right? A lot of us were asking the same question from the Magento world, like, okay, because a lot of us remembered the eBay days and eBay had sort of a different plan and vision for Magento that ultimately that whole thing they were trying to create just didn't work out. Magento survived, but we're a bit wary. We all knew it was coming, right? It's the natural progression from private equity ownership. But really, where is this open source that we were told about? And Matt is kind of a big piece there, but as it turns out, he jumped on Twitter immediately when none of us were supposed to be talking about anything, of course, but that's in Matt's nature because there is a lot of open source at Adobe. In fact, there's a lot of open source technology that underpins even these enterprise solutions that they offer. I've visited with several of our team members in the Basel office and there are Apache Software Foundation board members. I mean, this is, you want to talk about the beginnings of open source and the impact it's had on the world? Like, these are some of these people. And so, yes, it's there. It's just, you know, I think it's not a secret to say that Adobe really hasn't done a great job of telling that story. So as they, you know, as I've met and kind of toured around with some of the Adobe vice presidents who've been visiting here, and I love that they're engaged. They get this, they want this to expand. It's been really interesting watching them, watching them encounter this and then start to, I think, be inspired by us as much as we are inspired by, again, the opportunities that exist as we all come together. It's great. Yeah, and Matt's been on, he's terrific. We cover CNCF and we'll be at CubeCon, I think, next week in Barcelona. So, we're huge, huge advocates. But I think it's just so, it's such a different way of looking at the world. Again, accepting that there's more smart people outside your four walls than are inside your four walls, which, just by rule, is the way that it has to be. You can't hire all the smart people. So to use that, leverage it and really build this developer app, advocacy is a really tremendous asset. Better together is what we say, and it could not be truer. I mean, there is no way we could know it all. We can't hope to. So what we've done, actually, in the last couple of years, really under the just, some brilliant leadership by Jason Woosley, we've been able to, he decided to double down on our open source investment. And I'd say we truly, that was the moment when we truly became an open source company with through and through, because we spun up and we took our best architects and just put them on a project called Community Engineering that they're dedicated to enabling contribution of fixes, improvements, and features from our ecosystem. So by doing that, we all of a sudden, we now have worldwide engineering that they're all experts in the individual domain. So that line of code that some contribute, some contributor from somewhere is contributing, he or she has become an expert, let's say, in something as glamorous as like total's calculation, like the logic that has to go into that. Because of their real world experience, we get the highest quality code that's just backed up by a lot of trial and tribulation. And from that, we basically get to cover all of our bases and they tend to write things in a way that's way more extensible than probably we could ever envision. I don't know of a better formula for having a product that satisfies something so varied and challenging and just constantly evolving as e-commerce. Well, and I think Jason mentioned this morning that the Community Engineering program was only launched a couple of years ago. Literally, a two years ago February. Just significant impacts in a very short period of time. Yeah, it was, you know, we were fascinated to see that while we'd had this kind of haphazard, almost ad hoc open source engagement up to that point, once we really built machinery around it, I think we've managed to build something that is a model for any other company that wants to try to do this. Once we did that, we very quickly got to our, some releases, some of our big releases where over 50% of the new lines of code were written externally. And that was cool for about a week. And then we realized that's not even the story. You know, the story is everything else I talked about which is just that degree of ownership, that degree of informed engineering that we just, we would never come up with on our own. And it was a real signal to this very patient and resilient ecosystem that, hey, you know, we're all in this together. And now, and of course we've done that also, we've replicated that with our developer documentation. It's all open source and able to be contributed to. And we sort of look at how that can expand, even to the point where our core architecture team, now all of their discussion, so you can go to github.com slash magento. You can go to our, you can see our backlog, you can see where we're discussing features and kind of planning what's coming next. You can also go to our architecture repository and you see all of our core architects having their dialogue with each other in public so that the public is informed and they can be involved. And that is literally, that is the highest stage, I believe, of open source evolution. That's a great story. The other great thing though that Adobe brought to you is some really sophisticated marketing tools to drive the commerce in your engine. So I'm just curious, your perspective, you've been playing in this for a long time, but you guys are really kind of taken over at the transactional level now to have that front end engagement tools, partners, methodologies.  Well really, so, you know, I'm going back to my, I remember my agency days. I remember why some of the Google analytics code looks the way it does, because I remember the product that it was before, you know, Urchin analytics, right? And I remember when we could first do split tests and one of the first cool projects I ever worked on in Magento 1.1 was sort of parsing Google's cookies to be able to sort of change the interface of Magento, and test that for conversion, right? And to think of how far we've come. Now we have the power and the mandate really to absolutely know everything about the customer experience, the customer journey. And then I'm sitting there in our keynotes, you know, in the general session yesterday looking up and I'm looking at the slide and I'm seeing, you know, 14 trillion transactions that are captured in our various apparatus. And I think, you know, that is, it's tremendous responsibility, it's tremendous power. And if we combine, if we use this insight responsibly, what we do is we continue to do what I think Magento has done all along, which has allowed us to be at, you know, not just at the forefront of where commerce evolves, but really to set the standard that consumers begin to expect. I mean, and I know we've all felt it, right? When you have that experience and it feels very full of friction, it's just, I know we can do better and I will immediately go away from any website that makes it hard for me to do what I want to do. Any website that seems like they're kind of a partner on my journey, that's where I'm, that's where I'm going to spend my time and my money. And that's really, that's really what we're trying, what we're trying to really lean into here. Which is essential because as you mentioned, if I'm doing something on my phone and I expect a really fast transaction and there's friction points, I'm gone, I will be able to find another service or product that meets my need because there's so much choice and there's so much competition for almost every product and service. So being able to leverage the power of advertising, analytics, marketing, and commerce to really deliver the fundamentals that a business needs to truly manage the customer experience as a game changer. Yep, it is, it is. So what we're looking to these days, you know, Magento, just before the acquisition was announced, made a tremendous investment to start up a completely independent trade association called the Magento Association. It's a place for our community to collect under.  And we are looking, and I kind of wear both hats, right? Because I'm a board member of that group as well as being a Magento Adobe employee. But what I, you know, one of the focus that we have is still that collaborative spirit where we sort of, we start to carry the message and the capabilities of this tooling so that we can ensure that this ecosystem remains empowered to deliver the experiences that our customers and their customers expect. Absolutely. Well, Ben, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and your enthusiasm and passion. Yeah, did that come through? I was hoping. You could next time dial it up a little bit more. Okay, good. That was awesome. And bring more flair. I'll bring more flair next time. Maybe bring more flair for us, Sharon. The capes, I'm still wondering what happened to the capes. Magento master's capes, yes. I can probably go grab you a couple. That would be awesome. Orange is my favorite color. Good to know, good to know. Ben, it's been a pleasure having you on the program, we look forward to next year. Likewise, thank you both. Our pleasure. For Jeff Rick, I'm Lisa Martin. You're watching theCUBE live at Magento Imagine 2019 from Vegas. Thanks for watching.


Hello friends, myself as I am a student professor from Mechanical Engineering Department of Walsh and Institute of Technology, Solaapur. Today I am explaining regarding the calculating the length of the open belt drive. In the previous, I am explaining regarding the calculating the length of the cross belt drive. The learning outcomes for this session is student will able to calculate the length of the open belt drive. Now in the previous one, I am explaining regarding the derivation of the cross belt drive. I hope you are going through this video last video and understand it. Now it is a question for that one, if motion transmission from clockwise to anti-clockwise direction, which belt drive is used? I hope you have to think over that. I am explaining in the last video regarding this one. Yes, for answer for this one is for transmission of motion from clockwise to anti-clockwise direction you can use the cross belt drive. Now today I am explaining regarding the transmission of motion from the clockwise to the clockwise direction that is for the open belt drive. So here I am showing the diagram, this is a driver having radius R1 and it is a R2. So here O1 is the center of the driver shaft or driver pulley and O2 is the center of the driven shafts and the distance between these two is a C. Now the belt is coming in contact with starting from at a point A to B that is belt is not in contact with the pulley. And again come in contact with from BFD dash BF and then it comes to C to D and from CEA. So that is the total length of the belt you have to calculate how much the belt length of the belt you have to require. Now R1 is the radius for this larger pulley this R1 and R2 is the radius for the smaller pulley. C is the distance between the two shafts. Now for the length of total length you have to go for length L is equal to this RCEA which RCEA CEA plus this length AB plus RBFD BFD. So CEA AB BFD and the last one is DC arc sorry length DC. Now you have to assume that this length AB and CD are equal one. So AB is equal to CD AB is equal to CD. Now length total length is equal to this arc CEA is double of that that is arc EA that is arc AE and arc EC is the same one. So you have to take here two times arc EA plus this AB AB and CD are equal one I am taking as AB two times of AB plus arc again BFD. So FB is a and FD are equal one so I am taking two times of arc BF. Now this arc EA means it is a pi by 2 plus alpha what is alpha? So from O2 draw one line parallel to AB so it is a point G it intersected. So O2 G O2 G is perpendicular to O1 A and again and this angle that is G O2 1 G O2 G O2 O1 is equal to alpha is equal to angle the same angle that is angle AO1 A dash AO1 A dash is equal to angle again BO2 B dash so this is angle alpha. So now this length AB because here you have to calculate the length AB this length AB is equal to AB and O2 G are equal one.


Hi, my name is Kira Josefsson. I am a writer and translator working between Swedish and English. Over the past nine months, I was one of the mentors for the Ulta Emerging Translator mentorship program working with Brad Harman. The framework for the mentorship program is intentionally loose, and to me it was the perfect combination of structure and freedom. Brad and I had a regular schedule of meetings, but we were able to focus on the things that were the most helpful and interesting with Ulta staff, always ready to support if needed. In late October, we both traveled to Tucson for a mentorship weekend. It felt a little bit like a miniature of the regular Ulta conference, which I tend to count as one of the highlights of my year. There were panels, readings, new friends, lit world gossip, even some after hours karaoke. And it all encapsulated the mix of professional and personal community that Ulta enables, and which is so important for a group of people like us who largely work alone and at home. The mentorship is of course part of that community building, which is why I'm excited to participate again next year. I'm equally excited to return to Tucson for the regular conference for the first time since 2019. And I'll add that Ulta's care and effort to keep us safe and to make accessibility adjustments into Tucson this year makes me that much more comfortable to go next year. Of course, all of this takes money. Ulta needs to raise $15,000 by December 21st in order to make these gatherings possible. So I'm here to invite you to donate if you're able in order to support the programming that helps sustain Transition Community. Thanks so much.


Proudly we hail from Hollywood ladies and gentlemen. This is CP McGregor speaking Welcome to another performance of proudly we hail a program of your war department Through the courtesy of the Hollywood coordinating committee. We present the popular actor mr. Dennis O'Keefe Who will star in our play a question of eligibility written by Richard Hall with music by Eddie Skravanik? Midwest University has pulled out all the stops for the big homecoming game with state With all-american Biff White one-man pigskin riot midwest was rightfully optimistic I guess there was only one man on campus who didn't join in that optimism Professor Everly Gilmore Professor Gilmore was worried but let him tell the story. He knows it better than anyone Yes, yes, I guess I was worried. I hadn't been away from college and football too long myself And Biff was really a swell kid likeable and friendly. I didn't want to hurt him if I could in any way But I guess it was inevitable I'd return to my little office in Barker Hall that afternoon My girl Friday at the time was Betty Walsh major in the department Worked for me a couple of hours each day She looked up as I entered Oh, hello, professor How are you coming?  How was them? Biff whites paper. Oh Well, let me see it 35 35 Yeah, that's an excellent score for a nine-hole golf course Professor what about this eligibility slip of biff's? Oh, well know that well Can't we hold that up a little while? Oh look, they've been calling all afternoon from the ad building Well, they have Well, there's only one thing I can do ready call the ad building and tell them Biff is down in chem one. I Can't sign his eligibility slip. Oh, but professor that means Biff won't be able to play in the homecoming game Saturday No, he could but you know as well as I do what chance he'd have of passing a makeup. Yeah, I know Well, I've got a class be back in an hour or so I Went to my class, but I must admit I didn't give much of a lecture that day. I Had Biff's situation on my mind I wasn't worried about the university authorities backing me up But I was worried about Biff Get a habit of taking advantage of you and well making you like it But there had to be a limit some place and so I adjourn my class a few minutes early and walk back over to my office Hello, professor I'm glad you're back. Yeah What's the matter matter? I've been answering telephone calls all afternoon. Good. I'm getting popular Oh, how I'd say unpopular look coach Adams the graduate manager and the president of the Alumni Association all want you to call them The pressure groups We'll take care of them. Oh, yes, and Biff whites here to see you. Oh, he is No, all right, you you scamper long better. Yeah, send Biff in all right The professor will see you now. Thank you Sit down Biff sit down. Thanks Well, how did I do prop? You don't have to ask me that to you. No, I guess not Biff that was a pretty miserable midterm you wrote. I know prop, but that was a tough quiz You threw us an Einstein special. That's so sure why the guy who wrote the book couldn't have passed that quiz Quite a few in the class managed to pass it Biff quite a few They're all geniuses and Besides prof. I haven't told you until now the day I took that quiz. I didn't have my five-baked key in my pocket Oh, now look Biff listen. This is this is no kidding matter. You're telling me Prof. I want to play in that homecoming game Saturday. Give me a break. Oh, I'm sorry Biff You should have thought of that when you were cutting all those classes. I warned you a long time ago that you'd have to dig in Chemistry is no pipe course. I'll turn over a new leaf I promise you. I wish I could Biff. I wish I could but you've said that before yes, so I did Well, could I have a make-up? Oh? You want one? Yes. I can give it to you. We'll say tomorrow afternoon But it'll be tough Biff Just as tough as the other one and it doesn't give you much time either Why prof you underestimate me why I might come in tomorrow and amaze you with my knowledge of the fact that H2o is water. Are you sure of that Biff? I couldn't help feeling sorry for him especially that night I Could seem sweating it out burning the midnight oil cramming for an exam, which though. I didn't tell him I Knew he couldn't pass Johnny I'll never make it. I'm gonna give it up and get to bed But Biff I keep telling you it'll be a sense if you'll do it my way yeah Sure prof Gilmore never proctors a quiz you'll be all alone all you have to do is crib it a few crib notes That's all Maybe all right Johnny Maybe you're right We pause briefly from our story a question of eligibility Starring Dennis O'Keefe to bring you an important message from your ward apartment Yes, dear before I leave Paris this afternoon I'll get some of that perfume you like and I'll have to pay the power bill in New York. Oh, yes I might be late for supper. I'm gonna stop at Chicago on my way home. See you tonight What is this an HG Wells book Buck Rogers flash Gordon not at all Such world travel is a possibility Well within the lifetime of everybody listening to me now thanks to the army Already the army is developed a plane that flies over 600 miles per hour in the transonic range at a rocket that hurtles through space seven times as fast In countless other fields regular army technicians are experimenting and making new improvements in medicine atomic energy supersonic radar Television engineering communication all branches of scientific knowledge a career of technical training and education in the new regular Army is available to all ambitious young men between 17 and 34 see your local army recruiting officer now Act two of a question of eligibility Starring Dennis O'Keefe as the end professor of chemistry Eberlea Gilmore Midwest University's hopes for victory in the homecoming game Nose-dived with the declaration of Biff whites and eligibility and most everybody in the campus spoke of professor Gilmore as the traitor to the cause Yes, they didn't like it And I can't say that I blamed them They wanted to win that homecoming game and they knew what Biff's presence on the team meant The news that Biff was to take a make-up got around and how that helped a little but still on campus I was referred to as What's that uncomplementary word that rhymes with mouse? That is of course to everyone except the Dean Eberlea. I called you in I Wanted to compliment you on your stand in this situation with Biff white Well, I hardly deserve any credit Dean I should go to the conference committee which makes the rules nevertheless. We don't want athletic bums in this university Biff white is no athletic bum Dean as a matter of fact He's quite a confident student when he decides to be one, but that's just the point We must at all times emphasize scholastic standing by you and this is an excellent case in point Scholastic standing I Remember now the Dean's Adams apple barbed up and down as he said it and I almost wish for a moment that I hadn't decided against Biff Only I knew the Dean was basically right That afternoon Biff came over to take the exam Poor kid looked like he'd been drawn through my landlady's ringer Well, Prof. Give me the list with the bad news on it Hey, you are Biff Only ten questions Take as much time as you want with it. Thanks, Prof. And come into my office when you're finished.  I was up a little late last night, Prof Or didn't you know? I Back in my office. I Had to wondering about Biff. He was nervous edgy Suddenly a thought struck me. I Tried to kick it out of my mind, but I and I couldn't and then I acted on impulse. I had to be sure I Walked quickly out of my office across the hall of a door It it led to a little used alcove above and next to the chemistry classroom Opened the door hurried quietly up the stairs Pulled back the dusty curtain just enough to reveal the classroom below My fears were justified Biff was there working feverishly with the crib notes spread all around him. I was thunderstruck I returned to my office to wait for him Thank you, Biff. Well, this is very interesting And the looks of this you must have really crammed last night sure just ask me anything Prof I've got all the answers Yes, I think you have Matter of fact Biff, I'm I'm darn proud of you. You must be kidding Prof That's a blank sheet of paper. You're looking at yes, Biff, but at the same time it's the finest examination I've ever read Let's go over to the ad building and tell them you're up in chem one really up This is CP McGregor speaking. I hope you've enjoyed our proudly we hailed story starring Dennis O'Keefe Before leaving you Don Forbes as an important message for all of us How many of you know the work of the new regular army? Yes, it is an instrument of national defense But it is also an organization devoted to scientific research and development Your life today and in the future is being made easier as a result of army achievements Our army is engaged in a program of development pioneering new fields and a scale previously unknown Medicine electronics supersonic aviation physics. These are but a few of the fields in which army technicians are carrying on their work Energy particles 100 million times as powerful as those released by the atom bomb are the subject of present experimentations This is in conjunction with a current study of cosmic rays by army Air Force technicians a Parachute that will enable an aviator to bail out of a plane at supersonic speeds and a projectile that will go seven times as fast Are two more army projects? You've heard of the push button airplane that takes off flies up to 400 miles and lands with no human hand at the controls You've heard of the sniper scope an instrument enabling one to see in the dark with no visible light You've heard of the eniac a complicated machine that can tell within a few feet Exactly the spot where a rocket fired 120 miles into the stratosphere will land these are all army accomplishments To carry on this work the army needs intelligent young men Ambitious men who see the value of this work and want a career in such a field There is an opportunity for personal advancement the chance to learn a mechanical skill or trade as well as other educational benefits If you were a young man between 17 and 34 go to your army recruiting station The recruiting officer there will tell you more about benefits available to you in a worthwhile job in the new regular army Thank You Dennis O'Keefe for appearing on this program Proudly we hail will come to you again over this station next week listen in
