Today, we not only reflect on two bad movies, but more the deaths of their respective franchises. It's Alien Covenant vs. the Predator on movie feuds, so sit back, relax, and I'll do the fingering. Then Covinshit features a double dose of Michael Fassbender for some fastbender-on-fastbender action. It's too fast, too bendurous. As the actor plays super-dick Android David and country bumpkin Android Walter, they take turns blowing each other's flutes, making xenomorph babies, styling hair, and having long boring discussions. It's all very uninteresting, and definitely what I was looking for from my Alien movie. One of the highlights from the previous film, Prometheus, was the explorer-turned-survivor Shah. So naturally, Alien Covenant killed her off-camera. In her place, we have a really poor, ripply impersonator named Daniels, played by Catherine Waterston. Her biggest character trait?  The rest of the film consists of a throwaway crew of a colony ship who have apparently never received a day of training in their lives. Speaking of dumbasses, let's talk about the Predator cast. Not to be confused with Predator or Predators. This is the fourth installment of this shit-show-of-a-franchise, AVP 1 and 2 Excluded. We once again pretty much ignore the movies that came before it, outside of a couple of hat-tips here and there. The focus is now on an American sniper named Quinn, played by that prick from Logan. He is joined by Olivia Munn, or as I call her, Olivia Yum, because I'm an adult. She has the difficult task of trying to figure out how to breathe through her nose, and she fails that task miserably. As she is seen in a perpetual state of pissed-off confusion, mouth agape at every turn. I think she's a biologist who brings forth absolutely no information to the table outside of stating the obvious as it's happening, like, oh look, that Predator is ripping a man's face off. The cast isn't all bad, and there are quite a few funny moments throughout. Keegan-Michael Key and Jake Vucey being the standouts for me. Yvonne Strahovski, I think I'm saying that incorrectly, but she's in a few other things here and there, but she can also be seen playing the wife in this until she's just gone with no explanation, because the writers forgot that she was even in this movie for a while. Last and certainly least is Jacob Trambly, the Jake Lloyd of the picture. He has been gifted with Asperger's, which, according to this film, is like having a really high midi-chlorian count. He can remember how every single half-finished chess game was set up in a classroom. He can crack alien technology, and he can color one hell of a mean alien map from memory. The kid's on the spectrum, baby. He's got spectrum powers. These skills, amongst others, are often necessary, as he's left alone multiple times in this picture because the adults are absolute trash, like during a fire drill, or going out to trick-or-treat alone in the middle of the night. Thanks, Mom. Let's talk about the title characters now. Alien Covenant features, you guessed it, aliens. This time, the black goo takes form of much deadlier versions. An airborne virus, faster, smaller albino xenomorphs, and of course those large, lumbering ones we've grown to love over the years. David is doing evolution wrong, though. An airborne virus is the ultimate threat. Hell, those little white devils are far more dangerous than their evolved form. I mean, at the end of the day, I guess David really just wants to be a good dad. And he's nailing it. He's doing fathering right. We even get a touching scene of him showing his baby xenomorph how to raise its arms for the first time. Mmm.  Remember what a fearsome badass hunter the Predator was? No? Neither do I.  The human didn't even give enough shits to go finish the job.   There are also Predator puppies, because who cares anymore? Speaking of not caring, let's talk about these stories. Alien Coven Thy Audience's Time is the story of a director who didn't like what he did with Prometheus anymore, so he retconned most of it. I also think he really has a thing for Fastbender. Not only did he give the guy two parts, he made his character David the creator of the alien species, playing God in his little workshop, tinkering with herbs and spices, until he accidentally added one ingredient he shouldn't have, chemical X.  Naturally, like any properly or improperly trained-for-that-matter crew, they send like 90% of their team down to investigate. No suits. No helmets.  They did have the wherewithal to check if the planet was breathable, so it's safe to say they did their homework. I mean, I can't imagine there being any sort of foreign toxins or dangerous creatures or really anything new this planet has to offer. It's basically Earth. But what are the odds, really, that our crew member would be affected by any of this deadly stuff? A good, actually, as two of them are infected almost immediately. And within a few hours, the rest of them are attacked by crazy aliens. The MVP, though, has to go to Tennessee's girlfriend, Ferris, who is, by far, the queen of the fucktards.  She then has the gall to lock her friend in the room with this guy who is now oozing blood from every orifice, stating she has to keep the infection contained. Has to keep the infection contained? You just pranced him around the entire ship. There's blood hand prints everywhere. To her credit, she does contain the alien, who then rips her co-worker's face off.  And she strands the entire crew on the planet. Why not just send the android down to look around? Or a machine with a camera? Why take any time at all to think through things? Bottom line, I wanted all these people dead before the movie was over. And in that sense, my wish was granted as David takes care of business. The whole thing caps off with our love to hate him android regurgitating up some alien embryos to colonize the original destination. So not only did David accomplish his mission, but that of the now dead crews. My god, they were the worst. I had recently rewatched the three previous Predator movies before witnessing this fourth move. It's not really a movie, whatever this fourth thing was. Regardless, Predator is the only one I love. The rest are pointless retreads with nothing new to offer in the slightest. So going in, my expectations were very low.  It's basically a hard R Transformers movie in terms of logic. Peadog crash lands on Earth after being chased all around space by what I only assume the Dwayne Johnson version of the Predator would look like. Not all is as it seems though, as this Predator isn't here to stalk and kill its prey, it's here to save it. Why you ask? I don't know. That's a good question. One that the writer and director, Shane Black, didn't think through. In fact, I'm not sure the revelation even hit him until the last five minutes of the script were written. Up until that point, our Predator's seen killing 20 to 30 people and even takes the time to skin a few. So after he crash lands, Call of Duty cover art character steals his mask and gauntlet. Then goes to Mexico to mail it back to a PO box that no longer exists. So naturally it goes to the home of his ex-wife and son. Meanwhile, Lil Snapper is struggling to find that perfect Halloween mask. As luck would have it, he finds his answer after rummaging through his father's top secret mystery box. With the power of Asperger's on his side, he's able to figure out alien technology, firing up the mask, locate a ship, and get that tracking beacon set up. Oh, and he also wins the Halloween contest. I'm joking. That's silly. That doesn't happen. He murders a teenager on the second level of a house, possibly kills the family as well. Who knows? Boys will be boys. There's no consequences in this film. Eventually, American Sniper is arrested for being a well-respected Marine. He teams up with a rag-tag group of deplorables and meets Olivia Yum, who jumped into their hearts on the top of a bus after parkouring up the side of a scaffold chasing after the Predator, who just got done slaughtering some of her coworkers because she's a biologist. Down the halfway mark, the friendly neighborhood Predator is killed by the Indo-Predator. Now the hunt is on when the Indominus Predator starts a literal countdown from his ship.  This ending caps off how I think everyone thought it would. Predator's seen a dying and sniper guy getting his own alien Iron Man suit so that he can fight alongside the Avengers in Infinity War Part 2. Look out, Thanos. Disney owns everything. We could see John McClain in there, even. Yippee-ki-yay, alien fucker! Ridley Scott makes beautiful-looking movies, yet Alien Covenant's not something I'd hang my Xenomorph on. It's mostly a lot of nighttime boredom with little of interest going on, and the visually stunning shots are ruined by plot. The score by Jed Kurtzel has familiar blends of Prometheus and the 79 original mixed in, but like everything else in this disaster, I couldn't appreciate it. For the most part, the Xenomorph being fully CG didn't really bother me. The problem was the lack of creativity and fear.  The most disturbing scene in this flick is that of the large featureless albino alien ripping the head off one of the victims. Although it's not near as disturbing as the event that immediately follows, which is the captain seeing the beheaded crew member looking at David asking no questions following him into a deep dark cellar and becoming chestburster material. How... How did those eggs get there? Doesn't a queen alien need to lay those? Did... Did David lay the eggs? I'm asking too many questions. The predator uses a fair amount of practical effects, all things considered. Plenty of CG is a foot though, and the ships and weaponry have a bit of a cartoonish plastic look to them. But it kind of works with the cartoonish plastic script. I'm not sure how Shane Black screwed this up so monumentally considering some of the good work he's put out in the past, but Jesus Christ, this is a mess. He opts not to use the tried-and-true predator vision outside of one or two shots. Hell, he barely uses the camouflage after the initial crash.   There is nothing scary or sexy in this situation. If you're gonna put your actor or actress in a vulnerable position, at least use them, you know?  Don't just show a shoulder up and have no tension. What's the point? Alien Covenant at least had the wherewithal to handle their gratuitous shower scene properly. Side boob on point, possible side shaft on point. No, I don't think there was side shaft, but side boob for sure. The original Predator score makes its glorious return.  The tech in this movie doesn't even attempt to make a lick of sense. Force fields activate one panel at a time. Human text and Crayola drawings are deciphered on the fly. Alien weaponry is kind of self-aware and battles whenever the hell it feels like it. I guess it's when the person's being attacked, but there was plenty of times where it was just kind of picking and choosing when they wanted to do stuff. To the Predator's credit, which there is very little to grant, some of the kills and gags are quite enjoyable. Tripwire decapitations go a long way in my book. There's also a couple deaths by force field and a reoccurring gag of people dying by their own weapons. That alien tech can be tricky. Let's wrap this up. I want to be clear here. There is no winner in this feud. I'm going to grant I granted one to the Predator, but that doesn't mean it's a winner.  There were some funny moments, but there were truly some unintentionally funny ones as well. Alien, a David story had nothing going for it outside of not only burning the Prometheus bridge, but that of the original by discrediting what the xenomorph was. There is a less is more phrase that is just lost in Hollywood. You have something good. Let it stay good. We don't need to go back and ruin it. Oh, where did the alien come from? How was it created? What is his motivation? I don't want to know. The reason Predator won and alien works so well was because you had no idea what these things were. They were in the shadows, ominous, scary creatures that were very deadly and were better than humans at hunting. That's all you needed. We had to figure out how to survive.  There's nothing scary. Oh, okay.   And there you go. That's your movie. That's the alien now. This is more than just reviews. This is movie feuds. And I think now it's time for AVP three where we find out David also created the Predator species by sleeping with a xenomorph who is in disguise. Yeah, it was a deceptomorph as they're commonly referred to.  Thanks for watching The Feud.

Yeah, we on boss talk, one on one. You know what I'm saying? What is your weakness? We're the business concern. Whoa, let's expose him. The weakness? Yes, your weakness. Everybody has a flaw. Everybody has a weakness. You have your strength and you have your weakness. What is your weakness? Where do you know that your strength is your accountable? Yeah, I had my weakness was trusting. Wow. And I got into it. It was the act that I was there in Inglewood, keeping a handle on talking about what I was saying his name, in Inglewood, when he was with a group. I was working with the group, grew up around the dudes, everything. Then he started working with Ice Cube. I'm working with Ice Cube, so I'm with him every day. Ice Cube just interviewed me and him in the back, sitting around talking to him, right? And so then he did a single. I did a single. I played bass all over it, right? Ho album. And then he got kind of big and he started signing groups from Inglewood. So he used to have me produce them and stuff like that. He's cutting the checks. But then I did a song for his album and he forgot to pay that one. Wow. Then he was playing games. Call me tomorrow. Call me tomorrow. Page me this time. I know what it is. Just by the way you're expressing his voice. He kept doing it, kept doing it, kept doing it. And I was like, hey, homie, you know what I'm saying? So then it got real bad and the album came out. And he ain't knowing that he got people that want to take him out. Wow. And they're getting that media, they don't know him.  I thought about it. So I'm sitting there contemplating it.  But he knows everybody. Evan does. So I'm sitting there contemplating. He said, what you doing? And he knows the people that are after Mac 10. He knows they're serious people. They ain't going to say their name. She goes to them when he has a problem. Wow. So that dude got at me. And I'm like, I was thinking, well, I can use that money. Maybe they don't know. He's what I was thinking about. But I'm sweating. I'm like, like this, man. He's like, what's going on? Man, I got a decision I got to make, man. And I told him the situation. He said, no, man, that's not how you do it, dawg. You're grown.  He said, that's how you do it. He called prior to records and knew the president, called him, say, you got a song out there without a contract or a check. And went out with him out or whatever. And we can do a cease and assist right now. Exactly. And we can pay. And so he called the artist, the artist said, I'll be there in half an hour with the check. They faxed the contract and told me to be up there in half an hour to have everything. I showed up, signed my checks on the contract, and got a bottle there. Shout out to him. I just never did. Shout out. I did business with him. Yeah, everything to say, because I know. Shout out to him, man. My dad's an attorney. Of course. And so I know that accomplices do jail time, too. Right. How'd you find his house? You know what I'm saying? He's told me, boom, there I go. You know what I'm saying? I get locked up, too. So I avoid it. I mean, there's a lot of street stuff out there. So, man. I can imagine, especially when you're raised around that. It's so easy to just get that done. But you'll think, we cool. Me and you cool. We hang out. I see you about a month or two. I work with this show, you blow up all that. Yeah, pay back. I need a theme song for my show. Oh, cool, cool. Usually you got to do like a dope deal with the money at it. You know what I'm saying? You got to ask you the money. OK, here's the track. Switch. You know what I'm saying? You know how I'm in here, man. You know what I'm saying? OK, I'll pay you tomorrow. OK, I'll pay you tomorrow. And then I don't hear from you. And then you playing games on the phone. I'll call me when the clock in. And then you don't answer. Call me tomorrow. I'll pay you in 30 minutes. You know what I'm saying?  You know what I'm saying? So that was a learning lesson that I just everybody. I do business. I don't care if it's my mama or my brother, anybody. What? You know what I'm saying? You want to do something? All right, here's the contract. And the contract and the check. All I'm moved. I don't care who you are.


Okay, okay, I was not ready for this.  What is happening?  A video is on SecuritybreachTV.com. I have not seen it. I am so incredibly excited. This is my first time watching it I've not seen anything about it. Oh my god the buttons green.   Oh my god. Here we go What Freddy and friends on tour episode one right? It won't let me go into full screen it So we're just gonna watch it like this here. We go Freddy and friends on tour episode one What is this? I see Bonnie He's not in security breach What are they why are they on tour? This is insane. Oh, this is so cool What's happening? Hi Chica Freddy Bonnie? Where's Foxy? Oh? This is so cute Foxy what is happening?  I have no clue. It's happening. Oh, they're doing the Scooby-Doo gag. Okay What does this mean I mean surely in a secrets they caught him it was the end is gonna tune So it's just a Scooby-Doo gag. I'm sorry Freddy So Chica is shaggy obviously What what is that? Oh? So it is security breach wait. What was that? What was the point of that?  I'm assuming it's some spring trap or a plus trap I'm assuming it's spring trap right the new afton amalgamation right the claw the big meaty claw We see at the end of the gameplay trailer But what the hell does this mean and apparently the release date is Coming soon. I would assume. Oh my god. This is crazy guys So I'm assuming because what we just saw was episode one of Fazbear and friends on tour or whatever it was called We are going to get more episodes and then it'll have a release date and then maybe we're gonna have the countdown or We're going to see Something in the PlayStation event. I don't know guys. This is insane We are finally finally getting close to the release of this game. How crazy is that? I am just I Don't know what to think. It's crazy That pretty soon. We are going to have the release date of Security breach now I don't know if it's going to be in the PlayStation event at this point anymore Because it seems like steerwall is kind of doing their own thing at this point This is just all insane.  Is it in the new PlayStation event on the 9th? It isn't two days and I do think if we're getting a release date, right? I think there's two outcomes at this point Either we get it in the PlayStation event. We get the release date in that in the event and a new teaser trailer or just a You know release date reveal trailer or steerwall is going to keep doing their own thing with again the freddy and friends On tour series which because it did say episode one I can assume we're going to get a lot more episodes I don't think that they have any significant meaning outside of you know, of course the the hidden spring trap or Afton Amalgamation whatever you want to call him. That's terrifying Um So it's just I don't know what to think guys. This is so insane. What do you think's gonna happen? I cannot wait. I think these next few weeks maybe even days are going to be Absolutely insane.  I keep saying it, but this is insane We've waited for over two years for this moment, and it's finally freaking here. So that's gonna do it for this video I honestly don't know what to expect at this point going forward We're just gonna have to wait and see what steerwall has in store So thanks for watching and I'll see you all on the flip side. Goodbye. Oh my god


So who is actually responsible for security of workloads running in Azure? Well, the simple answer is that it's what we call a shared responsibility model. Now, if you were running services in your own data center, for example, you'd be responsible for securing everything, right? The physical infrastructure, the access into the data center, and also all the way up the stack to your securing your application code and your data. Well, in Azure, we take care of a bunch of that for you depending on what services you use. If you use infrastructure as a service, we take care of a bunch of that, but you're still responsible for the operating system patching, etc. If you leverage platform level services such as Azure Functions or Cosmos DB, it moves slightly up the stack. So it does depend on what service you're using as to who's responsible for what. But the point is that the cloud provider doesn't take on all the responsibility. We share that responsibility with you to make sure the applications are secure. But what we do is we provide you with some tooling such as Azure Security Center and Azure Sentinel to help you do that a little bit better. One way you can think of this as an analogy is like the roads, right? Is it the car manufacturer's responsibility that it's safe on the road? Well, it's not. It's the council's responsibility that the roads are well maintained. It's the manufacturer's responsibility that the car is well built and isn't going to break. So it's a shared responsibility there, and you can kind of think of the cloud as the same way. The roads is Azure. We're responsible for the roads. But if your car's running on the road, you're responsible for making sure your tires are pumped up, etc. And if you're using off-the-shelf software, maybe those providers are responsible for making sure it doesn't break. So it's a shared responsibility between vendors, customers and Azure. So ultimately, it's everybody's responsibility to work together and leverage the tools available to you to make the systems on the cloud more secure.


Well the end of summer is around the corner and with that it's tournament time for Bemidji Youth Baseball. The Northern Heat 9U squad is preparing for the state tournament that they will host kicking off Saturday in pool play at Bemidji Youth Baseball Complex and finishing Sunday where champion will be crowned. They have participated in six tournaments this summer and started practicing all the way back in March. But now they take the field with two other teams this weekend and hoped to qualify for regionals in Nebraska. Summer has been really good. We started playing and practicing actually in March. So we've been at it for quite a while and to see the progress that these kids have made throughout the spring and summer has been incredible. It'll be us, Wade Park and Baxter. And on Saturday we'll be doing pool play so we will each be playing each other and then on Sunday the number two and number three seed will play each other in the morning and then in the afternoon the winner of that game will play the number one seed for the state championship.

I have to admit, I'm neither a Ford or a Holden fan, I'm sort of, I don't sway one way or the other. However, one of my favourite cars of all time are the Mustang Fast Spaks. And we've got Grant Rivers here from Whanganui or Whanganui, Grunter? Whangavagus Jones. Whangavagus competing here in Target in this beautiful, beautiful Mustang. What year is it? 1965. So it's the early one. I mean, what were the first ones? 64 and a halfs? The Fast Pack was 65. This is one of the first ones out of the mold. That's one of my favourite-shaped cars of all time. You're not a newcomer to Target, you've done a few, but family-wise, you guys race drag cars, your business, you build engines for people, you build engines for the Annihilator race boat team. Is there anything the Rivers family don't race? Pushpokes. Well, they don't have engines, I suppose. Exactly. Yeah, we like doing everything, and it's a love of my life, as you know. And yeah, we did Target a lot in the early 2000s and won our class and category a couple of times and then did the smaller ones and then gave up for a while with the family and drag racing, as you know. And I just decided at this time to get the old boy out of the shed and give it another thrashing. Yeah, the kids are driving the drag car, so I want to prove I still had it. I'm just loving it, though. Tell us a little bit about the car engine. It's just all basically class one, a classic car. I still got the heater and it's got the radio, it's got all the carpets. 289, full speed, drum brakes on the rear. Just tried to keep it as a classic car as originally was, you know. Heaviest car here, 1,690 kilos when we went over the waybridge. But just love it. Just love getting out and driving it, doing skids, letting those liquorice straps at the start of every stage. And yeah, the crowd love it, eh. That's what we like to see, mate. Now, the event over the first two days, you've had a couple of little issues. You came in last night, end of day two here in Rotorua. I thought John Fawcett driven in in his fuel funny car. You had some exhaust issues yesterday. Yeah, we had no rear brakes for the first two stages, so it made it very hard to drive.  So we had exhaust fumes all afternoon. It was pretty ugly inside and very noisy. 200 kilometers an hour with open headers, that would be noisy. That was real noisy. But we kept going and we had a lot of fun.  And I would, Darryl, really, really appreciate of him. And we got it going again and worked about seven. Was it too late? Fixed the brakes. But now we've got a broken front brake rotor from only running on front brakes. So it's going to be a limping day today, but we'll still have fun. When did the hearing come back? About this morning. So Grant Rivers in this beautiful 1965 Mustang, he's out and doing it here on Target New Zealand.


Jordan it seemed like you were bending but not breaking until that final fifth inning there What happened in that fifth inning? I know it wasn't particularly hard contact again. I Don't really know what else to do I guess I was behind to Lindor and do a good two-seamer and he hit it just soft enough to where it fell and And then Dom hit that ball of the middle, but I'm Just kind of sucks How infuriating is that considering you're essentially doing it in some spots what you want to do? inducing subcontract Yeah, I mean honestly at this point. I think I'd rather just go out there and give up line drives Maybe better luck of going right at somebody This team has now lost six out of seven. What's it gonna take to turn things around? I Think we just got to stay together. I mean no one no one in that locker room enjoys losing So we just got to Turn it around Anyone else for Jordan? Eric Boland, please unmute How would you describe the frustration level at the exact halfway point for the season and you guys 41 and 40? We hate losing And we know we're capable of so we just got to play better Anyone else Brendan Cuddy go ahead Jordan this isn't something you guys are used to this kind of losing Does it get harder to believe that things will turn around the more it happens and a longer happens? No, I mean no we know we're good. We just got to play better Back to Meredith Jordan kind of along the same lines off of Cuddy's question Why do you believe that this team has what it takes to turn it around a lot of talent a lot of guys that are really fighting? We're all we're all trying to play as hard as we can. We want it It's not like we're going out there and just Not playing hard not giving in everything we have I Still believe in every guy in there and I'm with them to the end


Hello, I welcome you all once again to my channel Explore Education and I am Dr. Rashmi Singh, Assistant Professor, Department of Education, S.S. Khanna Girls Ruby College, University of Allahabad. And we are nowadays discussing topics under the main heading of qualitative research methodology, means monatmak, research methodology means anusandhaan vishleshaan, anusandhaan ki vidhiya, jis meki hum ground rate theory pe baat kachuke hain positivistic and, positivistic and post-positivistic paradigm ke beesh mein antal dekhah jaa chuka hain qualitative quantitative research ke beech mein hum logon hain antal dekh liye hai. Qualitative research kya hain uspar baat hoi hai. Ab hum po qualitative research methodologies pe baat karni. Kis tari ke se qualitative research ki jaati hai. To naturalistic inquiry par aat baat karenge ho naturalistic inquiry ka umbrella term hai. You can say aur uske anantar gag bahut saari vidhiya aati hai. Ya aap kya hai, saari vidhiya kaheen agai naturalistic inquiry ke andar hi aati hai. Kyuhi humko natural settings mein hi adhehan karna hota hai qualitative research mein. To lecture bilingual rega aur subscribe my channel aur bohot saari vishayon ke liye aur examinations ke liye aur aap hi research purpose ke liye hi video piyogi ho ka. So, let's start. Naturalistic inquiry. Kya hai naturalistic inquiry? It is an approach. Yeh ek upagam hain to understanding the social world jisse ki hum samajik sansar ko samatsak main hain in which the researcher observes. Yani ki researcher kya karta hain qualitative research mein. Observe karta hain. Preaction karta hain. Describe karta hain. Varnan karta hain. Interpret karta. Aur apnein shabdo mein likta hain. Kya anubhav? The experiences and actions of specific people and groups. Vishish to logon aur samohon ke kaarion ko unki anubhavon ko interpret karta hain. Kis context mein? Societal aur cultural context mein. Unke sanskritik aur samajik sandarb hon ke beech mein. Isi liye hi naturalistic inquiry hai. Kyuhun kyunki natural setting mein karenge hum real world setting mein karenge kahin kisi setting ke san koi chair char nahi karni hain. It is a research tradition that encompasses qualitative research methods originally developed in anthropology and sociology. Ye ek tariki ka research tradition hain aur qualitative research method ko apne aap mein samahit kiya hua hain aur aap jitna aap jadata dekhye, to unki shuwaat aap ho anthropology hai, sociology se milti hai. Anthropology mein humko manav vighyaan hain. Manav vighyaan. Matlab kisi vishisht humko adibasi sa moho padhiyan karna hain. To hum kya garenge ki unki beech mein jahkar aap ho rahe na padeka. Wo khutdhuri hain kya aap ho batane ke hain ki hum aise rahe hain. Ya hum se questionnaire bharwag ke unse kuch rating scale pe tick laga ki unki baare mein nahi jaan sakte humko unki beech mein rahe na padeka. Wo kis tari se utte batane unki values kya hain. Ye aadhyan karne ke liye humko naturalistic enquiry aur qualitative research ki sharan mein hi jaana ho ga. Include in participant observation ya to aap participant observation ki tari se kaan ki jaye. Matlab ki aap unki group ka hista banjaye aur observe ki jaye. Wo kis tari se rahe hain. Direct observation kal sakte hain. Ethnographic methods isthimaal kiye jaate hain. Ke studies hoti hain. Grounded theory hum ne aap ho batarya ki tari emerge hogi data se. Aur humko pehle se nahi pata hain ki humko kitna sample lena hain, kitni deer baat kane hain, kitni glom ho se baat kane hain. Jab theoretical saturation ki isthiya jaatiye tab hum data collection ko rukte hain aur data collection aur analysis aur emergence of theory. Ye sab simultaneous process hain, in grounded theory hain. Ye baat ho gali thi. Unobtrusive methods and field research methods. Yani ke itna sabu kuch ishme Then, working in the places where people live and work. Humko kaha par kaam karna hain, us un jagon pe jaha log rehte hain jaha kaam karte. Unki natural setting me ho ek jum exactly jose naturally behave karte. Wahi humko adhyen karna hain. Wahi jaana hain. Naturalistic researchers draw on observations, interviews and the sources of descriptive data as well as their own subjective experiences. Yani ke bohot tari ke se humko adhyen bhi karna hain aur apna experience us me involve karna hain. Quantitative research ki tarah se humko detach nahi rahna hain humko objective nahi rahna hain, kyunki hum rahe bhi nahi pahenge. Aur rahna manchaniye bhi nahi hain. Humko hi disha deni hain. Humko hi shape karna hain ki kis tari ke se interviews schedule ke jayenge to hum aap usse detach nahi rahna hain. Toh usse kya ho ba? To create rich evocative interpretations of social phenomena. Toh jose samaji ke ghatna jis kaha hum adhyen karne gayate usper hum kuch rich description nikal kar de pahenge. Naturalistic enquiry designs are valuable for exploratory research. Toh hi jo naturalistic enquiry design kis ke liye ye mulevan hoti ye exploratory research.  Particularly when relevant theoretical frameworks are not available or when little is known about the people to be investigated. Aur visisht kab ho jata hain ye naturalistic enquiry jab hum kisi aisi samu pe adhyen karne jaar hain jis ka humko theoretical framework jada pata nahi hain. Ya un jin logo para madhyen karne jaar hain hum jada nahi jaanthe, ya kam jaanthe. Okay. Toh ye toh one naturalistic enquiry ka tana bana. Ab characteristics kya hain? Iski visisht hain hi isko khaz banaate hain. Yaha par kya hain? The aim is not to find a representative case from which to generalize findings to other. Baar baar ye baat ki jaari hai ki jab bhi aap quantitative research ki baat karenge, experimental research ki baat karenge, toh hain aap se kaha jaata hai, ki jo sample hai, wo population ka representative hona chahi. Tab hi jab aap result nikalenge toh usko aap poori population pe generalize kar sakne hain. But qualitative research ya naturalistic enquiry ka ye udeshin nahi hain. Ki hain koi representative case le aur uski finding ko poore group pe generalize kar dein. Yaha pe kya hain? It is to develop interpretations and local theories that afford deep insight into the human experience. Yana ki jis par hum adhyen karne jaar hain usko humko gehri antar drishti nikalke rakhne hain interpretation kar nahi. Local theories develop karne hain. Kis mein naturalistic enquiry hain. Naturalistic researchers spend large amounts of time interacting directly with participants. Ki hain, jo quantitative research hoti usko data collection hain alag hissa hota hain aur analysis hain alag hissa hota hain. Data collection kale field mein aapko jaye ya aap ka questionnaire hi jaay sir aur waha hain se jab data collection aaj aata hain toh aap usko batkar analysis karte hain. Toh hi bohot lamba kaam nahi hota hain kar aap ne mail ke through bhecha hain yaa kaise bhi bhecha toh questionnaire khanta rukke bhi questionnaire wapas leh sathne hain hain hain hain hain. Lekin yeh hai ki bohot matlab time ticking kaam yeh nahi hain. Lekin naturalistic research mein ke aapko kisi group ka adhiyan karna hain. Kuch vishishtita humki jaanani hain. Participant observations karna hain. Toh lo maha jaakar rahehte hain hain us aadi wasi sagoon ke saath. Ya us vishesh group ke saath. Ya bank, kisi khaz bank ke workers kaap lifestyle, work place pe kese rahehte hain. Toh naturalistic research, toh spend large amounts of time, bohot saara same dein hain aapata hain. Taaki hain participant se interact kar. Asa thodi ki hain kisi se pehli baar baat shizz karne baite hain hain. Aur wo aapna sab kuch vishishtanubab hain humko share karne nahi. Usse leh humko se rap ko establish karna hoa. Usko yeh sahas dehla hain hain hain. Koi haani nahi karne jaan hain. Jo information humko milegi hain hain usko leak nahi karenge. Yeh saari ethics ka jo consideration hain ki hi nahi kate hain.  Toh the researcher is the research instrument. Aur hiya research instrument kaun hain. Bahi researcher hain. Bahi tool hain. Kyuki haami ko baat karne hain. Haami ko questions nikalne haami ko se aur aage shape dein hain apne interview ko focus group discussion ko, participant observation ko. Toh sabse researcher. Toh researcher yaha kya hain. Research instrument hain. Engaging in daily activities and conversations with group members to understand their experiences and points of view. Within this tradition, language is considered a key source of insight into socially constructed voids. Di ke language ki bohot mahatta hain. Kaise bola jaara hain? Kisi lehji me bola jaara hain? Tone. Haan jab record kate hain toh humko har cheez record kani hain. Yeh ho sakta hain ki shabd saaki nikle hain. Lekin tone galat nikla. Ho sakta hain ki uska shal pristiti me waeisa bolna uchit maana jaata hain. Matlab language ka bohot important role hai, qualitative research mein. Isi lehi isko kya kate hain? Although focused on words, narratives and discourse, naturalistic researchers learn through all of their senses, they collect data at the following experiential levels. Sorry. Yeh neki wo shabdon pe narratives pe o discourse pe hi nikal kata hain. Lekin humko har apne sense organs se data collect karna hain. Comptive level pe, social level pe effective, physical, political, ideological. Sab kuch humko diyaan dena hain, tabhi context specific hum research kar paingin. Tabhi hum bata paingin ki us vishesh sandarb me uska kya art hai. Without context, qualitative research ka koi matab nele. Naturalistic research designs develop over time as researchers formulate new understandings and refine their research questions. Thruhout the research process, jo humare research process chalti kya researchers modify their methodological strategies. Mala koi bhi chis humlo pehle se toh poora fool, proof, plan banaka chagi nahi sakti ki humko aise hi chalna hain. Jese jese research aage bharti, jese jese research progress kati hai, research ko methodological strategies modify kate re na chahi ki kya work kya, kya work nahi kya, kis dishaar me jayin toh behtar data mil payega and all. To obtain the kinds of data required to shed light on more focus questions taaki humko us tarike ka data mil research questions hi humko answer mil sakhi. Ye hi toh udeshe hai humara. Thruhout the philosophical foundation ki aaye. Kil mool bhoot ke jo aapke aapke sakti hai, darshanik mudno par hi aadhari tha hai. Traditional scientific methods rest on philosophical assumptions associated with logical positivism nabne baat kar lii ki jina bhi aapka experimental methodin ko logical positivism pichalti hai. Matlab empirical hona chahi vari-fiable hona chahi, juh hai humka representation hona chahi, yaha kya hai. Objectivity is attained thru the...humko quantitative me kya kate researcher ko objective nahi, aani ki usko apna self-include nahi kar nahi research me. Objectivity attain kya se hoge, separation of the researcher from participant. Yani, humara participant se koi leena dena nahi ho. Yaha hum jayin bhi toh humko saar phaklaa dey apna ki, ye hamara hain aap humko bharate deri jayin. And by the dispassionate as analysis and interpretation of results, but in fact, tap into their own subjective experiences as a source of data. Yaha humara subjective experience bhi ek source of data ka kaam kata hai. Seeking experiences that will afford them as them an intuitive understanding of social phenomena thru Empathy and subjectivity. Yani, humko impati bhi laani hai, humko hum kisi se bohoti kisi ke dukh-dald ka issa share kar rahe hain. Aur hum belkul detach ho kar usse baite rahe hain ki toh batayega, nahi batayega. Humko se impati shokani ho ghi, humko apna bias khatam kani ungi ki kya achhaya kya galat hai. Kya sahi hai kya galat hai. Kya achhaya kya bura hai. Tab to data milega, tab to wo party, wo aap ka, jo subjecthe wo khule ka haapse aur share karega. For the naturalistic enquirer, objectivity and detachment is neither possible nor desirable. Dehi, sambhav bhi nahi hain aur wanchhani bhi nahi hain ki hum objective rahe hain aur apne participant, apne jo humara subject hai, usse hum rech rahe hain. Qualitative researchers are typically far less concerned about objectivity, hum objectivity ke chakkar nahi patte hain, as this term is understood within traditional research approaches than with intersubjectivity. Iske bhajaya hum kiski batkate hain, hum batkate hain intersubjectivity ki. Matlab subjectivity bhi nahi hain. Intersubjectivity hai, doh loko ke beech mein. Intersubjectivity is the process by which humans share common experiences. Hum unse batahin ki hain nere saad bhi aisa hoata, hain hum ne bhi kabhi aisa share kya hain, hum ne bhi kabhi yeh dukh jehla hain, humara bhi hain. Tab saamne waga khulta hain aur aap se share kata hain, humne bhi aisa kya hain, hum unse kya hain, hum nse kabhi aisa hain, hum aap se kabhi aisa hain, aap se aapne sange sleva hain ki, sadoor aap ki koi galti hu ki, toh kabhi koi aap se share ne karega. And subscribe to shared understandings of reality. Di ki reality bhi ki understandings bhi shared hoti hain. Ki hum ne bhi bahi mahsoos ke hain, jo aap ne mahsoos ke hain. Naturalistic researchers seek involvement and engagement rather than detachment and distance. Yaani ke aapin jo researcher hoinvolv hota hain, gej hota hain apne interviewee ke saad aur usko detachment and distance nahi show karne hain. They believe that humans are not rational beings and cannot be understood adequately through objective disembodied analysis.  Aur kya qualitative researchers reject determinism? Haan determinism ko bhi rejet karte hain, matlab sunishchite ke yahi hain, aasai hain, aasai nahi hota hain. The idea that human beings are lawful and can be predicted, kabhi bhi aap human bhi bhi ko predict nahi kar sate, ki kis dasa mein kohan human kis tari ke se behave kareega. Traditional scientists, kyun ki context badal jata hain toh behaviori badal jata hain. Traditional scientists try to discover relationships beyond the experimental setting. Jo aapka quantitative researcher hain wo jo relationship discover karte hain kis ke bhijh mein, charon ke bhijh mein, variables ke bhijh mein. Aur ye maan ke chalata hain, ki jo variable hain remain consistent, hain aasha consistent rahenge across individuals jahi individuals badal jahain beyond the experimental setting, yeh ne experimental setting ke beyond bhi, jaki qualitative research ya naturalistic inquiry mein, yeh nahi hain, yeh maan hain jaata, yeh assumptioni nahi hain haara. There are different methods and roles used to study the material, but aap jahane gayi ki naturalistic inquiry fye sabse baniya kaam linkan guba ka hain toh unka bohot, jab kitab apni likni wo shun karte hain, toh sumin bohot, unka pehle, yeh hi argument hain ki aap kise humans ko wese hi uni method se study karte hain jase aap non-human ko study karte hain yeh sambhavi nahi. Aapko dosara tari ka ekhtiar karna perega. That's why ki wo qualitative research ki baat karte hain, wo naturalistic inquiry and naturalistic researchers are socially constructed constantly changing and multiple realities, realities yeh hain missing hu gaya hain. Yani ki jo sbse zyada interest ka mudda hain naturalistic researcher kele wo kya hain ki jo reality hain, wo socially constructed pehle baat poon, jo yatha hain wo samaj doara ne met hain. Constantly changing hain, kabhi amara kise ke zang relationship constrain nahi rata, kabhi achcha rata, kabhi bura rata, kabhi bohot achcha rata hain, change rata hain. And multiple, yani ki main jis li haat dekthi hu aisa aap nahi dekthi hain. Then naturalistic researchers hold that all human phenomena aakar within particular context cannot be interpreted or understood apart from these contexts. Kisebi do vyakti ki baat aap without context nahi samaj satte aur unka context, unke nazariye se dekna perega aap ko aap apne nazariye se unka context ya unka viewpoint nahi dek satne. Ye naturalistic researchers maankar chatte hain. Then common assumption inki kya hain? Neen mukhe general mool hoot maanata hain iski kya naturalism, phenomenology and interpretive nature of naturalistic result. Naturalism matlab ki humko kyaise study karna hain context mein, real world setting mein, natural world setting mein. Phenomenology kya kaiti? Phenomenology kaiti hain ki the belief that the object of interest is examined without any preconceived notions or expectations. Yani ki jis ko hum jiska par adhiyan karne jaar hain jiska adhiyan karne jaar hain So, we don't have to go with the notion that they do this or that or they do wrong or right. Humko without any preconceived notions jake humko experience karna hain. Phenomeno. Then presupposition less research matlab researcher makes his or her own norms, values and ideology apparent and does not assume they are shared. So, we don't have to presupposition. Then, interpretive nature of naturalistic research mein kya hain ki the belief that the researcher while trying to see the situation or her own view. Yani ki humko interpretive rana hain. Yani ki humare reflexivity aegi hain, humare subjectivity aegi hain hain, humare inter-subjectivities mein involve hogi kis mein research mein. Yani ki data collection mein, data analysis mein utheri ke emergence mein bhi. Hum. Matlab humko aapke angle se dekhna hain lakin humara angle usse detached hiyoga kahin na kahin usse khessa baneega. Then, the difference with rationalist paradigm is ki baad baad baad rau hain, aapko pata ho na chahiye dikh linkin gubaki hi kitab se liya gaya hiye ki kaha hain ki rationalistic or naturalistic. Matlab unne kaha ki rationalistic paradigms aap non-humans ko study kata hain. But, humans ke liya aapko naturalistic paradigms jile na hoga. Then, kaha kaha antar hain. If we talk about axiom, then rationalistic paradigm and naturalistic paradigm reality kogar axiom mane, then rationalistic paradigm lakin naturalistic paradigm kata hain ki multiple hain, intangible hain, divergent or holistic hain. Inquirer or respondent relationship kya hain ki hain respondent se bilkul independent hain lakin naturalistic paradigm hain interrelated hain i.e. researcher or researcher ki jaar hiye po dono is usse par ashrit hain. Then, nature of truth statements yaha pe context-free generalization hain jo hain, so hain variables ki bhi chmi yeh relationship usse koi context nahi aata hain But, yaha pe context-bound working hypothesis hain. If we look at relation and explanation of action then yaha real causes, intemporary, precedent or simultaneous manipulable, probabilistic and yaha attributional shapers hain interactive hain, non manipulative hain plausible hain. And relation of values to inquiry yaha value free hain. We have not given any context We have not given any context We have not given any context We have not given any context We have not given any context So, mark ouraken Then, conclusion, avatar hain. If we want to conclude natural let us say, we understand that we have to external reliability, validity, and objectivity, then how to conclude that naturalistic inquiry attempts to document and to fix a place for a form of inquiry, which would be a genuine alternative to a positivistic social science methodology, that is, we have to find a genuine alternative to a positivistic social science methodology. This is its efforts in naturalistic inquiry. Then showing how science is limited by its dominant mode of investigation. Science is not unlimited. Science doesn't tell us anything about science. So, Lincoln and Guba gave us an alternative paradigm. They said, do it with naturalistic, rather than rationalistic. That's why they told us the difference between rationalistic and naturalistic. In which the investigator avoids manipulating the search outcomes. That is, the naturalistic researcher, the researcher, the investigator, doesn't manipulate any kind of search outcome. Whatever comes out, it comes out. A paradigm shift is under way in many fields. So, there are many ways to shift from rationalistic to naturalistic. How? The different assumptions of the two approaches regarding the nature of reality changed. There was a single, here is a multiple. The subject-object interaction changed. There was an independent, here is an interdependent. The possibility of generalization changed. The concept of causality. Because when we do quantitative research, we tell the cause-effects of what is happening because of which. When there is no such thing here, where in naturalistic. And the role of values. And whenever we talk about the context, we will talk about the value. The value will be laden. Okay. So, in this manner, I have completed naturalistic inquiry. If you want to read it, then you have to read it deep, read it, read it, read it a lot. But still, to understand its theme, I think, that it is so complicated. That this is naturalistic inquiry, then you can say that all kinds of qualitative research methodology that you are using will come under naturalistic inquiry. Because we all focus on the real world setting. Then you read ethnography, ethnomethodology, focus group discussion, everything will come under it. So, next time we will do ethnography. Okay. So, thank you. And don't forget to like and subscribe my channel, explore education, and join my techgram group too. Okay. Done from my side.


Words cannot express how excited I have not been so excited to talk to somebody about sex. That's all we talk about man. Yeah. Sex, sex. You guys talk about everything period though. Yeah. But for some reason my subscribers were like talk to the hodge twins about sex. I feel like they thought you could teach me something. I don't know why but they encouraged me to come to you guys. Well I can show you some things but I'm a married man now.  Well you guys are very comfortable talking about your sexuality which is not uncommon but I think from men from the south where it's more gentlemanly and conservative and you guys are anything but that when it comes to talking about sex. Well we out in the south down in the woods in the country. They just out in the open. Yeah. You know what I'm saying?  There's a saying where we come from cousins make what? Dozens? Yeah. Yeah.  It should be an open topic that everybody can talk about.  Mom and dad. It was an accident.   You wake up and you'd hear them? No the bed would be moved.  Well sometimes. You're in the bed with them? Yeah sometimes. Oh this is trauma right now that we're going through. Yeah it's trauma right now. Hey it's trauma right here. Wake up.  This is a real story. This is a real story. Yeah. I'm really sorry that happened to you. Listen. No it was okay. It's cool. It's cool. You guys turned out well. We turned out just fine. Just fine. I learned about sex on um I was a little kid right? Well not a little kid I was like a teenager. I used to stay well we used to stay up on Fridays and on Cinemax they had these Friday after dark movies called Friday after dark. Right. That's how we actually got you know learned a lot about sex.  God damn.   Being exposed to something like that at that young age is just bad. But it's natural then in the day kids today have the internet which is like after dark times affinity.   Yeah. I was looking to go deep inside of something 11. Yeah. I was on my day of social status teaching.   Man you was too shy though. We were real shy. Yeah. So when did you actually lose your virginity?  Yeah. What? I was 19.  That's a long time. I had to wait. I put it off for a while cause I found out I could jack off.  But then I said you know what man I'm tired of busting nuts on myself. I could have found me a woman at 19. We actually lost our virginity. Well we had these two girls in a room. We lost it together. He couldn't get inside of us. I believe that. He couldn't get inside. She was too tight. Yeah. And so you stepped in? Yeah.  No. Is that why? No. Just another girl. Okay. They were friends.  We got everything. It's the same. Yeah. We're twins. You're the same? I don't.   But yeah everything's the same.   Pretty much that's what it was. And you had it together so the both of you guys went through this like sense of frustration together. Yeah. I'm gonna take off over here. Don't bother me. I'm gonna bust me some more nuts. What mama at? Oh she at the grocery store. So you had a lot of time of like deciding what sex would be before you actually had it. When you had sex, reality versus expectation. Right. It was good. Well it didn't last long. Yeah it didn't last long. I think I went in, pulled out, back in, pulled out and sprayed all in the face. Didn't last long. You had a money shot the first time? Yeah. Spray everything.  You always hear about... I don't know if this interview is serious. That's what's the scariest part of all. Did they...  Did your parents really have sex on the bed while you were on the bed beside them? Well I was asleep. What role does sex play in your life today? Oh it's very important. Very, very, very important. Yeah. It's important to everybody. It's like eating food. It's like me going to my gym. It's like taking a shower. Yeah it's like a part of life. It's a very, very important part of your life. It's like a crackhead. What? Like a heroin addict. I just want 10 more analogies of what sex is like to you. They all mean the same thing.  What? Doesn't have proper papers across the border. Yeah. How do you make sure that sex stays an important part of your relationships today? Become famous. Yeah. Because before I became famous on YouTube I was nobody. My wife wasn't giving me no pussy. Now that I'm famous and I go to places. Oh she giving me that pussy. Because she knows she don't give it to me. Somebody else going to give it to me. Yeah.  She makes sure I'm not out of here. Leaving him nothing and out of it. She knows. Women going to give me them sweet balls. Yeah. So today you guys are fully, you're tapped out. You know what I'm saying?  That's totally cool.  God damn. My nuts is aching.  You know there's jokes associated with it and there's misinformation because that's a part of the jokes. But what do you really want to tell them about good sex? Good sex is about taking your time. Taking your time knowing what your partner likes. Yeah. Because as a man you're going to get yours regardless. Yeah. You got to make sure your girl that your wife is getting hers.   She's not going to be into it. Yeah. And that's foreplay that it doesn't start when you're getting bed.  If you forget to take out the trash. If it's from the homeless. Oh she's going to remember all that. You ain't got the oil chasing the car because it's bothering her. The damn engine light on and she's. It starts waiting for that. So in any relationship it's the little things. Yeah. You got to just make sure your partner's happy. Communication.  Like your Ryu Hadouken that you have mastered over time.  What?    Amy's going to play you out. Listen. Hot twins.  Just leave the nuts hanging out. Yep.  Thank you. Thank you to Keith and Kevin for saying yes to this interview. Afterward myself and Maya went back and just chilled out with them and had more honest conversations about sex. Speaking of honest conversations on sex. Some of you guys were saying like yo interview Tim next and I already did that. So if you haven't seen that interview go and watch it. Much love. For life. So what's the quickest way to make a woman takes anywhere from 12 to 20 minutes to get around.


Great, I'm Christian Glumbick. I am an associate software engineer at Red Hat. I joined one year ago. And I'm also the OCD working group engineering chair of the engineering liaison for Red Hat engineering. Maybe we'll start off, well, first I have to say, I think I've never done a presentation in front of that many people. So excuse me if I'm a bit jittery. I'll start this off with a little explanation of what OCD actually means. Does anybody know? OK, Diane, may I tell? Yeah, so I think it's the OpenShift community distribution part by Kubernetes officially, but it's not an acronym. So OK, Diane is probably the best we've got so far. All right, let's get going. The agenda today will be OCD4, the roadmap. Then I'll tell a little bit about the current status where we're at right now. And then a little introduction to the OCD working group. So OCD4, roadmap. We developed a few guidelines that would always have to be valid for OCD releases. Everything on the roadmap is still not formally agreed upon and may be subject to change, but these are the things we thought internally and also with some community members would make sense to always have be true. So that would be we use Ignition version 3 or the spec version 3, which currently OCP runs on spec 2. So with OCD, we'll start from spec 3 right away. And then we'll always support Fcause as a bootstrap and no-toast operating system. So we can always say OCD will run on Fcause. That doesn't have to be exclusively, but it's one system that we always want to support with OCD. Fcause is Fedora-CoroS. So the OCP platform is R-Cos, Redhead-CoroS, or Rel-Cos. There's different names for it. And as it's not a standalone product, it's not really a thing. But in Fedora world, we have the Fedora-CoroS, which is sort of the Fedora atomic successor. Yeah. So we want to avoid unnecessary divergence in OCD from OCP, at least for our initial release. Stay really close to OCP and align and standardize APIs along the way where it's possible. And all the platforms that are supported by the union of R-Cos and F-Cos should also be supported by OCD. OK, then we have divided the roadmap into three phases, starting with phase zero, which is where we're at right now. And the goal of that phase is to enable the community to have something to test and to actually use and tinker with. So that's where we're at right now. I'll come back to this in a bit. In the midterm, which is sort of the end of that term will be the first general release, which I hope we can make happen in the first quarter of next year. No promise, but I think we're on a good way to get there. So in phase one, we'll just do a little bit of hardening, more CI testing, adding things to make sure that our release is actually working the way it should be. And then in phase two, that's actually the most interesting phase, or it's going to be the most interesting phase, I think. So that's after we've released OCD. We really want to make sure the community can contribute. So we've been thinking about ways how to do that we have a community repo on OpenShift Community on GitHub. We have an enhancement repo where you can add design proposals. So all of these are sort of to facilitate contributions from the community. And the goal behind this in the end is to make OCD a superset of functionality that flows into OCP. And what we want to do really is we want to use the same code. So we don't want to branch and diverge too much from OCP. We just want to build it on top of Fedora for the initial release. And later, I'll come to that. There may be subworking groups that will enable more OSs. So we've definitely thought of that and want to facilitate that and help enable that. If you want to have a look at the roadmap, it is, did I put the source? Yeah, there's a little source thing down here. I'm sure you can't read it. So right now, it's a draft. And we're going to propose or do a call for agreement in the working group. So I'll link to the working group later. You can find the roadmap draft with more detail in there. And we'll publish that on the mailing list. So the current status where I would write now, we're in phase 0, which is a little bit, it's hard for the community to contribute at this time because internally, we have to make things ready for that. And that's mostly stuff Reddit people do anyways. So we are probably the best people to do that. And we want to do that quickly as well. So right now, we're setting up CI for RPM builds of OC and HyperCube. Those are dependencies on the ARCOS side, on the OS side of OCP. And we want to package them continually with the CI system for Fedora. So we can use them in the Fedora CoroS Composes. And then the second thing that's going to be unblocked very, very soon, probably next week, is when we switch to 4.3 master branches, we will be starting to work on the readying of the installer and the operators for IgnitionSpec3, which is especially the installer and the machine config operator will have to be. Yeah, they have to be ready for spec3, which they aren't yet. So there's some changes in there coming. And after that, when those two are already will be in phase one, which is all the things should be ready and we'll do some hardening before the release. Right. The next point on the agenda is I'd like to very shortly introduce the OKD working group. I'm not sure. I wasn't here in the morning to probably introduce the working group a little bit. I thought I'd just do that as well from my point. So right now, we formally came together the first time. Well, we agreed upon a charter, which is our governing document last week. And so we're formally a working group now. Diane is the community chair. Then we have Danny Komea, who is our external to Red Hat engineering chair. And I am the Red Hat engineering chair on the working group. We have the repository. So if you're interested in contributing or just staying up to date, I'd suggest you follow that repo because all the agreements will be made as issues or PRs on that repo. We also have Google Group, which serves as our mailing list. We'll make sure to always send out the information on the other mailing lists, the OpenShift users and OpenShift Dev mailing list as well. But this one is really a bit more focused on the OKD4 effort right now. So you're also invited to join that group. And then we have a Slack channel as well, which is the one you may know already, OpenShift Dev on the Kubernetes Slack. We also have a bi-weekly meeting, which you're invited to join and say hello to as well. I think we don't have a calendar yet, but we'll set up one real soon. So you can subscribe to that, and you're definitely welcome to say hello on the meeting. This is my short introduction of OKD4. If you have any questions, I think I have some time left. So if you have questions, I'm happy to answer. How many of you in the room? So OKD and Origin have been around for a long time. But with the 4.0 upgrade to the operators, there's a big shift in the way that we're deploying OpenShift and OKD. And that has really impacted on the delivery of OKD4 because we have to refactor it to run on Fcause or Fedora CoreOS. So how many of you? There were a few of you in the room that were OKD users. There was a couple. There you go. All right, all of you good folks. We love you all, and we'd really love to have you take a look at the charter, not the charter, but the roadmap and help us make sure that we're on the right path. And if you have extra engineering cycles, we'd love to have as soon as we get these first RPMs out and this first delivery of phase 0, we'll be sending an announcement out to the OpenShift Commons list, the Dev list, the users list, just so we can get as many of you to test and play with it as possible. That is our really big ask because it's your feedback that's going to really help us make this happen. And Fedora CoreOS has got some timeline plans for being GA in Q1 as well. But I think we'll probably have our release out earlier. So that'll be key. Yeah, we decided to not depend on Fedora CoreOS. There will be a version of Fedora CoreOS that we can work with. So this is another one of those at the beginning. You missed it, my jellyfish diagram. The interdependencies of open source projects really come into play in coordinating. So we have people from Red Hat who are engineers working on the Fedora CoreOS effort, on the OKD, on the operators. We have people in ignition. And a lot of those people are the same people. But anyways, we would love to have your feedback on that. So stay tuned. And if you can, the next bi-weekly one is on October 15th. Right, let's get one because. Yeah, we have some travel issues. Somebody's going on PTO. And they usually are around 1,700 UTC. We may shipped it a little bit earlier to do that. So we're trying really to accommodate as many of you as possible to come in and participate and give us feedback on this because it is one of the biggest initiatives that we've had on the open source side that really needs as much community support as possible. So we're really happy. There's three to 400 of you in the room right here today. And all of you who raised your hands for OKD, we love you. And we love you to help us out in this next push to get it out there. And yes, it does mean OK, Diane. So you've all just agreed to help. So thank you. Let me add to that. Once we have the release out, the OKD working group is really going to be, I hope, is really going to be a group, a platform to really be on the edge of development, to really test out new cool stuff and get that into OKD first and actually have it testable. So yeah, I think there's lots of interesting stuff coming, like supporting more platforms, not only clouds, but also maybe IoT, more use cases. There's so many things that we're going to look at. I think it's going to be really, really cool. And I'm looking forward to your contributions. So thank you very much. The other thing that I want to just keep holding up the applause, the other thing that I'm going to mention is because we have five minutes before lunch is ready. So I'm just going to keep doing this. Walk slowly to the lunchroom. The code ready containers, we're going to make sure that we have a version of that that supports OKD4 when we come up with a release.  I'm not sure we can make the code ready containers release for the initial release, but it's going to come at some stage. With the code ready containers, there's just some things with the libvert support and also being just one node, just one node cluster that isn't really supported too well by the operators right now. But we will get there, I'm sure. The other thing is everything that we do in the OKD working group, again, I mentioned it earlier, we record everything's open. You can join the OKD working group on Google Groups. It's an open community. All of the video, every meeting is recorded. So if you're not in the right time zone or you want to watch this in the privacy of your own homes on the weekends because it's so exciting, you can go to RH OpenShift on YouTube and look for the OKD working group playlist. So some of the conversations are really bleeding edge and really interesting, at least to me. And it's like stuff with the code ready and the libvert conversations. And we'll be having people from the Metal Cube and the code ready team coming and talking at the next one about how to make these things all happen. Meet new people.


Welcome to the first Unitarian Society of Madison. This is a community where curious seekers gather to explore spiritual, ethical, and social issues as in an accepting and nurturing environment. You'd think I'd have this down, I've only done it several hundred times in the heavens. Unitarian Universalism supports the freedom of conscience of each individual as together we seek to be a force for good in the world. I am not Steve Goldberg, my much more energetic and engaging and maybe flamboyant colleague. You will probably see him later, I'm sure you will. My name is Karen Rose Gredler, and on behalf of the entire congregation, I would like to extend a special welcome to any visitors who are with us this morning, as well as all the rest of you.  As we gather in this place and this time, let us remember we are all visitors in this life. We come together to find meaning and hope with all the other visitors in this life. Let us join our hearts and minds together as we celebrate this life. Please silence cell phones or anything else noisy as I invite you to join me in a few moments of silence for contemplation, meditation, prayer as we settle in and come fully into this time and place together. Now please rise in body or spirit as we sing our in gathering hymn number 354. This morning we will be singing verses one and four. If we're crying our song, verse four, answers to the questions of this love. We believe in life, we believe in the strength of love, and today we have found a way to be together, each from our separate paths, coming here to journey together. As we light our chalice this morning, please join me in the words printed in your order of service. As together we say, we light this chalice in honor of first steps for beginning even when the path ahead is unclear, for the courage it takes to trust that the way will reveal itself, that the light will come to clarify our vision, that friends will be by our side. Speaking of friends, I invite you to turn to your neighbor for a friendly greeting. Any young and young at heart and young at heart can come down for a story. I have a story about a journey to share with you, and I see some St. Patrick's Day celebrants with us. Good morning. I have a book called I Had Trouble in Getting to Salah Saloo, and it's by Dr. Seuss. Really happy and carefree and young, and I lived in a place called the Valley of Vong, and nothing, not anything, ever went wrong. Until one day I was walking along, and I guess I got careless, I guess I got gawking. As the daisies not looking where I was walking, and then what happens? Can you see the picture? He falls on a rock. He trips and falls down. He thinks that is just trouble. Now I have never had trouble. Now I never had ever had troubles before, so I said to myself, I don't want any more. If I watch out for rocks with my eyes straight ahead, I'll keep out of trouble forever, I said. But then what happens?  So I said to myself, now I'll just have to start to be twice as careful and be twice as smart. I'll watch out for trouble in front and back sections by aiming my eyeballs in different directions, and then there's troubles from above and below. He gets stung and he gets bit. Oh goodness gracious, sounds like trouble, doesn't it?  I was all completely surrounded by trouble when a chap rubbled up in a one-wheeler wobble. Young fellow, he said, what has happened to you has happened to me and to other folks too. So I'll tell you what I have decided to do. I'm off to the beautiful city, Salah Salu, on the banks of the beautiful river Wahoo, where they never have troubles, at least very few. It's not very far, and my camel is strong. He'll get us there fast, so hop on, come along. So what happens? They travel through the night over rocks and through a forest, and the next thing you know, the camel is not feeling well, so they have to pull the camel, and then the next thing you know after that, he has to pull the camel and the driver. This is not feeling fair, it sounds like more troubles. Well, the next morning we located Dr. Sam Snell, who knew all about tonsils and camels as well. Our camel, he said, had a bad case of gleeks, and should lie flat in bed for at least twenty weeks. So they said, go down this path to the bus, and you can catch a bus to Salah Salu. Well, the bus stop was there, and that part was just fine, but tacked on a stick in a very small sign saying, notice to passengers using our line, we are sorry to say that our driver Butch Myers ran over four nails and has punctured all tires. So until further notice, the 442 cannot possibly take you to Salah Salu. So he started walking along this long and winding path. A hundred miles later, my feet were so sore, then wouldn't you know it, it started to pour. So he runs up to this little tiny house, when he gets to the house, he notices there are holes in the roof and birds and mice trying to take shelter. So then he has this dream about being in Salah Salu on fluffy pillows that are silky and stuffed, and he's so happy until he woke up and the house is falling over the cliff. Oh my goodness, talk about troubles. Well, I floated 12 days without toothpaste or soap. I practically almost had given up hope. When someone up high shouted, here catch my rope, then I knew that my troubles had come to an end. And I climbed up the rope calling, thank you my friend. Well, it wasn't exactly a friend, it was a soldier on horseback who said we're in war and we need you to help us. He gave me a shooter and one little bean, which was not very much if you see what I mean. Then he yelled, get that pooser, attack without fear. The glorious moment of victory is near.  But then there's not just one pooser, there's many poosers and the soldiers get scared and run away. And he's left with one little pea shooter and one little bean. He is just surrounded by poosers all by himself. Poosers are these animals. That kind of funny. I had terrible trouble in staying alive. Then I saw an old pipe that said vent number five. I didn't have time to find out what that meant, but the vent had a hole and the hole is where I went. So he went down into the vent, into this tunnel, and what do you see in this tunnel? All sorts of stuff, yes, critters and fish and a tuba and an umbrella and drums. And there is our character trying to run and run in the wrong direction. And then just when I thought I could stand it no more, by chance I discovered a tiny trapdoor. I popped my head out. The great sky was sky blue. When I knew from the flowers I'd seen, I'd finally come through to the banks of the beautiful river Wahoo. I couldn't be far now from Salah Saloo. And there's Salah Saloo. Someone last night said it looks like it's made of candy. Candy? Yeah. And there's the fellow who has a key to the city. There's only one door into the Salah Saloo. So there was just one trouble. And the key guy says there's only one door into Salah Saloo. And we have a key slapping slipper. We do. This troublesome slipper moved into my door two weeks ago, Tuesday at quarter to four.   And that's why we're stuck. And why no one gets in and why no one gets in and the town's gone to pot, it's a terrible set of affairs, is it not? And so said the doorman of Salah Saloo. My job at the door here is finished. I'm through. And I'll tell you what I have decided to do. I'm leaving, he said, leaving Salah Saloo on the banks of the beautiful river Wahoo, where we never have troubles, at least very few. And I'm off to the city of Bula Bubaal on the banks of the beautiful river Wahoo, where they never have troubles, no troubles at all. Come on, along with me, he said as he ran, and you'll never have any more troubles, young man. I'd have no more troubles, that's what the man said. So I started to go, but I didn't. Instead, I did some quick thinking inside of my head. When I started back home to the valley of Vang, I know I'll have troubles, I'll maybe get stung, I'll always have troubles, I'll maybe get bit by the green-headed quail on the place where I sit. But I bought a big bat and I'm ready, you see. Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me. And this is the maze that he had to go through. There was no map, he just had to kind of go on his way, and then he had to use his head and his heart to figure out should I stay or should I go, where's going to go. He decided to stay and listen to what was happening in his heart. And speaking of listening, we get to listen to the teens sing a song for us.  A big thanks to our teen choir this morning. Thanks guys. Our reading today comes from Victorious Afford. You know, we do it every day. Every morning we go out blinking into the glare of our freedom, into the wilderness of our work and the world, making maps as we go, looking for signs that were on the right path. And on some good days we walk right out of our oppressions, those things that press us down from the outside or as often from the inside. We shake off the shackles of fear, prejudice, timidity, closed-mindedness, selfishness, self-righteousness, and claim our freedom outright, terrifying as it is, our freedom to be human and humane. Every morning, every day, we leave our houses not knowing if it will be for the last time. And we decide what will take with us, what will carry, how much integrity, how much truth telling, how much compassion, in case somebody along the way may need some, how much arrogance, how much anger, how much humor, how much willingness to change or be changed, to grow and to be grown, how much faith and hope, how much love and gratitude. You pack these with your lunch and medications, your date book and your papers. Every day, we gather what we think will need, pick up what we love and all that we so far believe, put on our history, shoulder our experience and memory, take inventory of our blessings, and we start walking toward morning. And I invite you now to join in singing our next hymn, number 391. We will sing this through twice. You may be seated. As some of you know, I am currently studying to become a Unitarian Universalist Minister. It took a lot of listening, listening to that voice still and small, to get to this place where I am with you today. In this month, when the theme is journey and on this weekend, when the topic is journey of lifelong learning, it seems only fitting that I would share with you some of my journey into ministry. For those of you who had the chance to read my column in the March newsletter, you'll recall that I reflected a little bit on maps and as and how they relate to our journeys. Maps are not only beautiful, but they also can be very useful, especially when you know where you want to go. In my case, however, I have not always known where I have wanted to go. As Reverend Victoria Safer described in our reading today, and much like that Dr. Seuss character trying to get to Salah Salu, I have been making maps as I go, looking for signs that I am on the right path. Indeed, maps for me have been more about helping me to see where I have been. They have been a tool to help me reflect. And truth be told, reflecting is something I am pretty comfortable with.  Once it started at the age of three when my family moved into a cooperative living situation called the religious house, it was in this setting that we were introduced to rituals and spiritual practices that could carry us through our lives. And even after we moved out of the house the following year, we continued with those rituals. One such ritual was the bedtime ritual. At the end of each day, my sisters and I would reflect on the highs and lows of the day. Now, I have heard young people in religious education classes call them brags and bummers, or happy and crappies. Here in worship services, we call them joys and sorrows. In my family of origin, we call them yeses and noes. So each night when I was getting tucked into bed, one of the adults in my life would do the bedtime ritual for me. It would include asking me, what did you say yes to today? And my response might include things like playing with my friends, or enjoying a favorite TV show, or getting to eat chocolate chip cookie dough. Then they would ask me, what did you say no to today? And I would mention this splinter that got stuck in my foot, or how one of my sisters had hurt my feelings. Then in the comforting and repetitive nature of the ritual, my grown-up would ask three questions. The yeses and noes are all received, right? Right, I would reply. The day is complete, right? Right. Tomorrow waits for you to create, right? Right. This ritual helped me to acknowledge all that had happened during the day, so that I could restfully prepare for the day ahead. Yes, reflecting on our lives was the norm in my family of origin, not just at the end of each day, but after other events, too. For example, my family would reflect on movies that we had seen together, or even pieces of artwork we would ask each other, what did we see, and how did that make us feel? And how is our life different now, because we have experienced this? So it wasn't just the what of our experiences that we reflected upon, the yeses and noes, but it was also the so-what that we explored. It seems to me that the so-what of life is similar to that voice still and small. In order to reflect on how our lives are different now, we have to, each of us, listen for that voice. What is it calling us to do? What is the so-what of life? Voice still and small, deep inside whole, I hear you call, singing. As you can imagine, the decision to leave a successful and satisfying career for a path marked with uncertainty is not an easy decision to make. And yet, moving towards ministry felt like an authentic next step for me. Part of the reason I finally started on the journey towards ordained ministry is because I noticed patterns in my life. I listened to that voice still and small. In fact, there were many moments when I listened to that voice. I listened for my yeses, I listened for my noes, I listened for the so-what of my life. And upon reflection, it turned out that most of the time I was listening in church. It was 1995 or so when I first stepped into the James Reeve Unitarian Universalist congregation. I was still in my first graduate degree program at the time, and I was seeking a congregation where I could lay down the burdens of my academic life, at least just for an hour a week. Two or so years later, thanks to an adult religious education program there, I fell in love with the woman who would become my wife, Bev. I myself became a family woman, eager to raise Bev's daughter, now our daughter, in a spiritual community that accepted our family for who we were. As with all congregations, there were a lot of volunteer opportunities. Early on, I was asked to become a religious education teacher. So eventually, I co-facilitated the sexuality curriculum for Semath and 9th graders, I assisted with the preschoolers, and I coordinated the Coming of Age program. But about racial justice, I helped host conferences and trainings and classes. Having grown up taking music lessons, I joined the choir. Eventually, I headed up the library committee, joined the hospitality crew, co-chaired the remodeling task force. I also served as president of the board, chaired the stewardship team, and served as a worship leader. What a rich variety of experiences. Now, of course, I couldn't do all of these things at once. I was working full-time after all, so each year, I would listen to that still small voice within to determine where I wanted to volunteer next. What was I really interested in? What was calling me? Was I starting to feel obligated and resentful? If so, I knew it was time for a change. Was I excited and invigorated to share my gifts in order to co-create a beloved community with fellow congregants also on the journey? Well, that's where I wanted to be. Voice still and small, deep inside hall, you call singing. Then Universalist minister, the Reverend Eric Walker Wickstrom, wrote a book entitled, Serving with Grace, Lay Leadership as a Spiritual Practice. In his chapter called No is as Sacred as Yes, he underscores the importance of listening to that voice still and small when he writes the following. Where do you want to spend your time and energy? How can your talents best serve your congregation? These are questions that often go unasked because the needs of the congregations can seem so overwhelming that, well, to put it bluntly, it often seems that they just need a warm body, and those of us willing to answer the call go where we are told we are needed. Questions such as, what do I want to do, and where might I best be of use are also not considered because of the way our churches often ask for help. He continues, if our service to the church is to be a spiritual practice, not just a road to resentment, then it is worth taking the time to practice the ancient art of discernment. What if, he continues, during the membership orientation, you heard the idea that in this congregation your no is as sacred as your yes, that here you were expected to say yes only when you could say it with an open heart and a clear conscience, and you were expected to say no as often as that felt like the right thing to say. Then he concludes his chapter with this, as Howard Thurman once said, don't ask what the world needs, ask what makes you come alive, then do that thing, because what the world needs is people who are more alive. The same goes for congregations. And so for years, I was seeking to become more alive while also listening closely to my call within the church, and then that call started to sound slightly different. It started asking me harder questions. What if my call was not just to this beloved community, but to the unitary, universalist faith as a whole? What if my desire for justice making that is rooted in spiritual practices? What if my vision for connecting people with their passions? What if my love for living from a mindset of generosity and abundance? What if all of these needed a different context, a different environment in order to fully bloom? For those of you who have tried such listening, you know that it can be challenging to hear that voice still and small. Sometimes the sound is so faint, and sometimes life seems so busy, it's just too hard to slow down long enough to pay attention. And sometimes we may hear calls to places that we do not feel ready to go to yet. It's not always an easy journey, and yet it is our journey nonetheless. Voice still and small, deep inside, all singing. We are in a unique moment, my friends. Yes, as individuals, each one of us has circumstances that we are facing, sorrows or challenges, doors opening or ideas taking root. Every day brings us another opportunity to listen to our yeses and our noes, to our so-whats. We get to reflect on the maps of our lives, to see where we have been, and to listen to that still small voice within, to learn where we might be headed next. Maybe that listening is happening within the congregational setting. Where are you excited to serve? Or maybe it is happening out in the wider world, for there is no shortage of causes to which we can add our energy and excitement. And beyond our circumstances as individuals, we are in a unique moment as a congregation, as a community of people. Because we are in an interim period between two called ministers, we have an opportunity to listen to the yeses and the noes, the so-whats of our shared life. For folks committed to First Unitarian Society, we have the opportunity to reflect on the map of this congregation and to listen to what may be collectively calling us into the future. In the weeks and months ahead, I invite you to take some time to slow down long enough to listen deeply to your voice still and small. Make space in your schedule. Make space in your life. Feel free to journal or draw a map of where you have been. Do you see themes coming up? Do you see patterns that have something to tell you? And if you need, find a trusted friend or a small group to engage in this reflection with you. Telling our stories, sharing our maps, speaking our yeses and noes aloud, this can all bring us more insights, help us make more connections, and remind us of our fellow travelers. Wherever the call, wherever the journey calls us next, both as individuals and as a community, remember this, we travel with companions. Together, what seems at first daunting might actually turn out to be delightful. I will close with these encouraging words from the Unitarian Universalist minister, Wayne Arneson, who writes, Take courage, friends. The way is often hard. The path is never clear. And the stakes are very high. Take courage. For deep down, there is another truth. You are not alone. Blessed be an amen. The offering we take each week is an opportunity to recommit to this place and to these people. Our offering is an affirmation, a yes. When we give, we say yes to something we value. With our gifts freely given, we say yes to the values of our faith. May our offering help us practice Unitarian Universalism within and beyond these walls as tools to empower our mission and the mission of this week's outreach offering partner, the Wisconsin Network for Peace, Justice, and Sustainability, a coalition committed to a world free from violence and injustice. We thank you for your generosity, so that we can all together say yes to the lights of hope, love, and peace. We thank you for your generous gifts. And we appreciate all the ways you give to this community. We want to express particular thanks to those who helped make our service possible this morning. Our greeter was Claire Box. Our sound operator is Mark Schultz. Our ushers are Pamela McMullen and the rest of the folks who graciously volunteered to step in when we had only one volunteer originally. In addition to Pamela, Bev Schimansky upstairs, Ron Cook, and John McGevna doing double duty as both an usher and out at the welcome table after the service. Hospitality, the coffee, and lemon water is being provided by Mike and Mo Lancaster. And I thought we had a special announcement, and I see him running along in the back. And there he is, Steve Goldberg. I have to live up to his energy just a little bit. Oh, no. And here he is. Thanks for holding your applause. So I'm excited on this St. Patrick's Day as chair of the stewardship campaign for 2019 to bring you up to date on the exciting progress we are making. And as I described the progress we're making with the stewardship campaign, I invite you to think about what we've all experienced this morning and what we experience every weekend here. Because what we've experienced today is an example, a great example of what stewardship looks like. So think back. We had wonderful music performed by our staff as well as by members of our teen choir. We had a story for all ages that really is for all of us. And then after that story, what did the children do? They went to their religious education programming. And that's an example of stewardship because it's helping those young people feel valued here. And the service, again, that's another example of what stewardship looks like at First Unitarian Society. And speaking of what it looks like, look at this space that we enjoy. That's the result of stewardship. So what stewardship is doing is it's providing the so what of FUS. It's enabling us to do all these things and enjoy all these experiences and all this value. So stewardship right now looks like $600,000 towards our $1.5 million goal that has been pledged by about 200 of us so far. And of those 200 pledges, half are at a higher level than last year's level. And one fourth are multi-year pledges making those pledges sustaining stewards of this organization committing to a year after year level of support for FUS. And I should add a very important point that even though our goal is large, $1.5 million, not every pledge has to be huge in order to be valued. A pledge of any amount, $5 a year, is as important as a pledge of $5,000 a year because it's the kind of participation at all levels that stewardship is made of. So I ask those of you who have just not gotten around to it yet to get around to it. And make sure that by April 5, when we have a Friday evening family celebration here, that you've had a chance to consider at what level you want to express your stewardship so that we can support the so what of First Unitarian Society. So the magic number today is 19. That's how many days until April 5, 19 days. And I'll even write a song for that party, especially if we meet our goal. But we're not just gonna celebrate on April 5, we're gonna celebrate every week by recognizing somebody who has participated in the Stewardship Campaign and giving them a $25 gift card for food fight restaurants. And our winner today is the family of Mark and Jennifer Yancey. So thanks to them, and I think I saw them leave earlier. They were here earlier, but they had to leave. They and their daughters, Peyton and Phoebe. So we'll make sure that they get the gift card as well as our thanks. So stewardship takes many forms and it comes in many sizes. And Roz Woodward would like to come forward right now and share with us what stewardship means to her as she explains, come on, come on, explains why she has decided to be a participant in our act of stewardship. Roz? Steve wanted to fire questions at me and I said, uh-uh, my mind goes blank when that happens. So I prepared something. In 1972, my husband David and I bought land in Vernon County, Wisconsin. We'd both been brought up in England where there's a strong legacy of land stewardship. Now, over 40 years later, my understanding of stewardship has matured. It means looking at the big picture, anticipating the future and doing the best I can with the means at my disposal to make things better than they were. To leave it for the benefit of those who follow. When Doug Watkins, our interim minister, heard our collective values, he gathered them together as stars. I can check off every one of them. Some are inevitably linked. I don't know how you separate stars number one and three for instance, music and deepening spirituality. David and I had always sunk together in a choir. So shortly after we found FUS in 1998 or thereabouts, we joined the society choir where I can give and receive the blessings of shared harmony. Add to that as a midwife with every birth, I was confronted by the absence of a feminine God figure in Western theology. I have exposure and support here for deep exploration of other beliefs as we learn and sing together. And how does star number two, social justice, not link with star number four, small groups? Margaret Mead pointed out that a few committed people can change the world. We have those here. Because of that, every year, peace poles spring up on Mother's Day. I had an idea that was able to be nurtured and fed here and still goes on and grows every year. We support one another too. Most specifically, I commit to lay ministry, lay worship, which are two different things, and the Healing Journeys Grief Group. Star five is the spirit of space. And we only have to open our eyes and look around us to share the wonders of this unique facility. This place feeds my soul. When I see something that needs doing, I can make it happen here. Like my land, its beauty and treasured memories are very special. But unlike my land, it's an excellent investment. Please join me in whatever way best suits your style so we can move into the future with the confidence we will leave this place better than we found it. Thanks. Thank you, Roz. That's another example of what stewardship looks like. And it can look like that for all of us. And if you're wondering how to express your stewardship and you have questions regarding your pledge card and the process of making that pledge or you need an extra packet, Cheryl and Florence from staff are standing at the back of the room. They will be out in the commons during our break to help answer any questions you might have about your pledge process and your participation in the stewardship campaign. So let me remind you that stewardship also looks like this. And like this. And like this. And like this. And this. And there's more, including some wrapped in green wrappers. So thanks for all of your support as part of the stewardship campaign in this effort to address the so what about First Unitarian Society. Thank you, Steven. Thank you, Roz. Is everyone okay? Aw, I got a green one. Really? Are y'all okay? We gather together each week with hearts that are filled with gratitude for the gifts of our lives and also with deep sorrow for life's losses and pains. This week we hold in our hearts the great joy of the Yancey family as they celebrate the end of Phoebe's cancer treatments and her very clean scan last Monday. We join our gratitude with theirs and also send our continued prayers for more clean scans in Phoebe's future. Our hearts are with Susan Malar and family as they mourn the passing of Terry, a memorial services plan for next Sunday, March 24th at 3 p.m. with a visitation at 2 here in this room. We also send our love to Jerry Moser, whose brother passed away this past week, and also to Coe Williams, whose sister suffered a brain injury after falling on the ice and is being taken off life support. And we pray this day for the 50 members of the Linwood Mosque in Christchurch, New Zealand, who lost their lives in a senseless act of violence and hatred. As the candles burn outside that holy place, we pray for strength for those who have lost their loved ones, for those who have lost the sanctity of their religious community, and for those who wait and pray by the side of the injured. So much sorrow, pain, and loss, so many tragic and violent acts, one following the next. We ask the spirit of life and love to help us hold hope as a flickering flame, to help us build solidarity, to witness, to grasp hands, to build courage, to do everything we can to bring forth the power of love in this world. Blessed be, and amen. And I invite you now to rise in all the ways we do for our closing hymn, number 298. We'll sing verses one, three, and five. Blessed is the path on which you travel. Blessed is the body that carries you upon it. Blessed is your heart that has heard the call. Blessed is your mind that discerns the way. Blessed is the gift that you will receive by going, and truly blessed is the gift that you will become on the journey. We extinguish our communal flame, but not the quest for truth, not the warmth of community, nor the fire of commitment. Those remain within each of us until our journey brings us together again. I invite you to be seated for one last gift of music.


Hi guys, it's Harley here from the Blackstar service team and today I'm going to show you how you can turn your HT range amp into an audio interface. Today I'll be using Logic Pro X but you can use any door for this. So after you find the tone that you're happy with, the first thing you'll need to do is connect via USB to your computer. In order to connect to your computer, you should require a USB-B cable. The computer should then automatically register the amp as a device. No users may be required to download ASIO for all, which is a free download. You can then set the amp as an audio device within your door while going to your IO settings. I hope this helps guys and I'll see you in the next one.
