The TelekidSec pilot study is evaluating the impact of using screen, sharing during genetic counseling sessions with English and Spanish speaking families from medically underserved communities. This study seeks to determine whether screen sharing can improve understanding of genetic testing results, satisfaction with the counseling session, and uptake of medical recommendations. Additionally, the study will measure the clinical utility, cost, and diagnostic yield of genome sequencing among these populations.

Ms. Valquez says, question. Why is it that women need to direct men? Why is that? Because men are rather clueless, men are rather clueless because, and quite frankly, because nobody is taught how to be in a healthy, happy relationship. Nobody is taught this stuff. We aren't taught how to be in relationship. Folks, once you read this book, Eight Dates by Doctors John and Julie Gottman, you're gonna go, oh my God, why didn't my parents teach me this? Why didn't I learn this in school? Men are clueless. Men know they want women. Men want companionship and sex. Let me reframe that. Men want companionship, connection, and sex. After that, they have no clue how to manage a relationship. So why do you have to do it? Because women purchase these books 10-fold greater than men. By the way, here's a picture of my mom and dad. They were married 66 years before my mother passed away. Now, if you asked anyone of my siblings who was the leader of the relationship, every one of my siblings, including myself, would say, my mommy, my mommy was the leader of the relationship. My dad was just good at taking instruction. So you know what?  Only control freaks, assholes, narcissists, and emotionally unhealthy people run away from instruction. Healthy men actually appreciate you because we can't read your minds, ladies. We can't read your minds. So if you actually give us instructions, we appreciate you even more. So it's not that hard. And by the way, my mom loved it. I'm gonna tell you a quick story. So my mother and father were having a dinner party one night, everyone was busy at their home some years ago, and there were two other couples there. So collectively 160 years of marriage. And because I'm a dating relationship coach, and I've known everybody since I was a baby, I said, what's the secret to relationship success? And the first couple look at me and they say, they say, marry your best friend. They both said it the same time, marry your best friend. In other words, meaning the person you married should feel like your best friend. So number one. Number two, the next couple said, never go to bed mad, always resolve things before midnight. Never go to bed mad, resolve things before midnight. And I turn to my father and I go, what's the secret to relationship success?  And by the way, they were sitting opposite from each other. The other couples were sitting next to each other. My parents were sitting opposite from one another. My father said, your mother understanding that I'm in charge of the relationship. And I said, mom, what's the secret to relationship success? And you know what she said? Having your father believe he was in charge of the relationship. Trust me, my mom was the leader of the relationship. 66 years of marriage. Hey listen, doesn't have to be for everyone. You can certainly lead by example, by stressing your needs, wants and desires and standards. And you know what, would you rather be right or would you rather be happy? My invitation is be happy. And that's how you can go about it. Ms. Valquez, thank you so much for that question. I really, really, really appreciate it. All right, let's go swimmen. Okay, Weijin writes, hey Weijin, may you please explain some differences between rule and boundary. I express my standard commitment and boundary, but when things go wrong, he shared with me that he feels I set up these rules. Okay, so, let's go back to what I shared before, my standard for a relationship. I said, I'm seeking a relationship where we spend three or four days a night a week together doing shared activities, hobbies, mutual interests, spending time with family and friends, intimacy, both physical and emotional, intimacy, traveling together, moving in together, getting married. That's my standard. A rule would be, you have to follow this rule and nothing else. That's a rule. A standard basically is an opportunity to create a conversation to find out what's so. I share my standard and I turn to someone and say, what's your standard? What are you looking for a relationship? A rule says it's done my way and a standard is just merely expressing something. Use someone else expresses their standard and then you try to find a meeting in their minds. That's a standard versus a rule. Now, boundary is simply what's okay and what's not okay for me. So, if you both agree to spending two or three days or three or four days a night a week together and all of a sudden your partner only wants to see you once every other week, that's a crossing of a boundary. And you might simply say, hey, we made an agreement to see each other this frequently or we made an agreement to talk to each other this frequently. The boundary is expressing what's okay and what's not okay for you and then again, coming to an agreement. Now, ultimately you have to decide if someone crosses your boundaries repetitively, you may not want to be in relationship with them. But you get to, it's all about healthy communication. And if you're not familiar with the book by Marshall Rosenberg, nonviolent communication by Marshall Rosenberg, I highly recommend reading this book so you can get clear on better communication skills. This should have been called compassionate communication. I wished it was, but that would be my invitation for you is to learn better communication skills and express yourself in a little bit more clearer way. But certainly a standard is different than a rule. A rule is an absolute. A standard is an opportunity to hear what someone else's standards are and see if you can align yourself and then a boundary is what's okay and what's not okay with me. Regent, thank you so much for that question. I really appreciate it. Great question.


So here I go with the Art Risen Happy Contest. Show us what makes you happy and you could win a two gallon Art Risen Pro kit. Now here's what makes us happy. So I'm Bex and what makes me happy is really all the standard stuff. Hot coffee, leggings, cats, dancing to Rihanna in the kitchen and mostly these little people. So that's Xavier and Zoey Cat and they're dead. That's David with his crazy hair. And oh did I mention cats because yeah there we go. And just you know our family business Art Risen makes me really happy. So to Rihanna, my kids the fact that they're best friends been married today for seven years now and just working for ourselves and working for artists every day. I love it it makes me so happy. Yeah, that's good.


Hi, I'm Rithvich. I run a company called Spiky. We are a data visualization company baser of Bombay. We've been around for two and a half years and essentially we build visual representations of large data sets. We work with different types of clients. We have core businesses which want to analyze data and take benefits. We work with data journalists and last we work with software product companies to embed visualization into the products. So we have clients in six countries. Some of the clients that you might recognize include first course and first base. They are part of networking. Visually, which is a, we are partnered with Visually. It's a very famous data visualization company in US and journalism plus plus color, they are the guys who build data wrapper. So we work very closely with them too. So during the talk I'm going to cover data visualization. I'll start with really the basics. Then go deep into the fundamentals and then I'll cover two case studies where we apply this. So how you should be actually visualizing data. What are the principles? What is, what, what you should be looking for in the data. And then I'll cover challenges in data journalism and what are we doing to solve them. So let's start. So let's start with the pie chart. It's like the most basic thing that one can do. And so here you have the data for the pie chart, which is like E has 38% and D has 25. So basically the objective of a pie chart is to break a hole into parts. Let's look at the data behind this. We call this as like it is one dimensional data out here and you're breaking a circle by the visual encoding, which is here. So let's look at the terms out here. You have dimensions. When you have data, dimension is the column by which you actually one second. How many of you are developers and how many are journalists? Developers? Yes. How many are developers? Okay. And the rest are journalists. Okay. So dimensions are columns by which you aggregate data sets and facts are columns, generally numbers, which you count some, et cetera, right? So you should always first look for dimensions and facts in your data set. So let's look at this data set. Seat count by party. Party is a dimension. Seat count is a fact. Seat count by party and state. Party and state are dimensions and seat count again is a fact. So this is the idea of dimension and fact. Now let's look at various visual encodings. The idea of data visualization is that you're going to take data and you're going to visually represent it using various visual encodings that your eyes can understand. These include area, position, color, length, thickness, right? So let's go back to our pie chart. So at pie key, we follow this model called as data first design later approach to make this to design our data visualizations. And the first step is actually building a categorization of various standard charts and graphs. So we call the pie chart as a one-dimensional chart. And you know what? It might have been just a amoeba kind of a shape out there broken by area and it'll still be a pie chart. Let's extend the concept further. All of these are pie charts, right? So what do we learn from this is that the same data can be visualized in many, many different ways, but what chart should you be using for what business case changes a lot? So if you're representing Maslow's hierarchy of needs, you should use the triangle. But say it's data, it's funnel. It's election, it's election doughnut, right? So, but the data set behind this is absolutely the same. So this is an article from Hindu. It's a very cool pie chart, which is like leaning against the wall, many colors, et cetera. But what is wrong here? They've not done it right. The wrong thing is that they've used color and color is communicating absolutely no data set, right? Next, it is 3D. 3D2 is communicating no data set. So ID of pie chart is focused around one visual encoding and that is area. The only visual encoding that you should be using is area. All your slices should be the same color. And, right? So the moment your idea, the objective of using data visualization is to communicate data. And when you start using wrong visual encodings, you'll not be able to communicate your data in the first go, right? And a lot of these principles are already covered in data, right? Your pie charts always the same color. This is another pie chart. What is wrong with it? Well, there's way too much of values, right? It's not readable at all. And so what is this teachers that area encoding has its own limits. You can't have infinite values in area encoding, right? So how should we be solving this problem? A, if you have more than five slices, you should combine all of them into other. If you still need to zoom in, click on the other and there should be another chart coming in, right? So let's look at another data set. Seat count by party grouped by alliance. So now we're adding a new concept grouped by alliance. And let's say I had this bubble chart with me, where I had party and the radius of the circle is the percentage. Okay, so now if we start adding color, that is the alliance is plotted using color, it becomes a grouped one dimensional chart, right? So we now used color to communicate data. So you can always add an extra dimension into your standard charts and graphs by communicating it using colors. So use colors very effectively, right? Which party one in which year? Let's look at this data set. Now this is a two dimensional data set. You have parties, you have parties and years, so the years and parties plot the dots and you have a two dimensional data set. Are you getting the concept of dimensions and facts? Okay. Right, so connect these lines and now you have a line chart. All of these charts are exactly, they represent the same data set. There's absolutely no difference between these charts. Right, so what is again, so you should start by looking at the number of dimensions in your data set. What is, what are the dimensions you're going to use? And that will tell you which chart you should go to, whether to go to pie charts or to go to these charts, right? Let's look at which party one in which constituency by what vote margin, we've added more data now and we had this scatter plot.  So now we just make that dot into a circle, the radius being the percentage vote margin, it becomes a weighted two dimensional chart, right? So the concept of groups and weights are something that you can keep using again and again, and they'll communicate different things. So, right, so you can always fit an extra fact into your standard charts and graphs called as weight, okay, and use and communicated using size or area. Right, so this is our weighted scatter plot. This is a circle comparison chart. They both are exactly the same. Let's say the data set was which party one in which constituency by what vote margin group by alliance. Now we have group and weight and it's a two dimensional chart. So we'll add color group weighted two dimensional charts, right? These are multi series two dimensional charts. When the dimensions start increasing beyond two, you have to use these group stack percentage area, match charts, multiple lines, etc. Let's look at this example. This is a story from live mint is the equities rally percolating into the broader market. So what they're trying to say is the stories around this, the BSE small cap is a line view line behind it. The story is about that line, but the line the color uses very bad. So the BSE small cap lines is not visible at all. And that's the story. So this is visualized not in a good way. But there's something that they've done very well out here. They're starting the axis from 90 y axis from 97 and not from zero. And why? Well, the purpose of a line chart is to communicate trend, whereas the purpose of a bar chart and column chart is to communicate discrete values. If the purpose is to communicate trend and you start your y axis from zero, then I think some 60% of your area of your chart will go into actually drawing the line from zero to 97. That area is wasted. And then you have only like 40% of the area to show the trend. Since the trend is not zoomed into the minor variations will not be visible. So line charts you should try to start. Now the whole company is divided into multiple regions, not Southeast West. The percentage of maximum revenues coming from this, then you have South East and North. Then West is further managed by various area sales managers. So I quickly know that West is broken down into area sales manager four and five. They have various sales officers within their data. So you can quickly identify what percentage of my revenue is coming from exactly which sales officer, right? This is a weighted tree chart, weighted grouped tree chart. These are relationship charts or graphs as we call it in developer terms. These are really complex datasets generally used for things like social network mapping or mapping the routers of the internet or identifying how epidemic is spreading. So again, very complex dataset, but again, this can be represented in all of these charts, right? So you have multiple options. So what I'm trying to communicate here is till you don't study your data, you'll always plot your data on bar charts, bar charts and line charts. You need to find these relationships and properties in your data to really identify what you should be showing, what chart you should be using. This is an example of a psyche chart, which is a weighted grouped multi-level relationship chart. So let's take one example, Mumbai local, the train, Suburbian train, fair chart. Now, typically all the stations are essentially a graph, right? I can go from, I don't know if you're aware of the Mumbai geography, but I can go from Andheri station to the other station, get down, do some, run an errand, get back in and then go to church gate. But typically it's the same line. So Andheri to the other is the same line, right? So it's a graph in a nature, but the business case is adding a limitation that since the starting point is Andheri and the ending point is church gate, I just have to buy a ticket from Andheri to church gate, despite the fact that I'm taking a detour at the other, right? So the limitation here is it's a two level relationship and not a multi-level relationship. And the moment we realize it's a two level relationship, you don't need to put it in such an early format, which is very difficult to read, right? So you start putting it in a matrix. So what I'm trying to communicate here is identify limitations in your business case, which you can leverage to improve your design and communicate it better. Okay, next that I'm trying to say here is most matrix charts have this symmetry about it, right?  But now you have, let's say, A and C out there and C and A out here. So there is symmetry, the data is useless. So you break the matrix chart into a half matrix. Do not add confusion. Do not add redundancy in your communication, because it just confuses. Do I start from here? Do I start from there? And actually, it's a matrix chart. You look at the OMEI local fair outside each station. So data visualization as a field, we think of it as something new. It's always been there, right? It's, it's all around us. When you look at the Delhi metro, how the, you know, you go from one line to another, it's always been there. That's, that's the data visualization. This is a brilliant chart. I really love it. It's called the core chart. It's a weighted two level relationship chart. When do you use it? Let's say you want to see the number of passengers who are flowing from one station to another station. Right. So let's assume if this was green colors, and the black color is church gate, then this so many people are going from Monday to church gate.  So many people are entering church gate station and exiting church gate station. So it's a weighted two level relationship chart. This is the breakdown of charts according to us, the standard rate charts that you find on D3. Why do we have the breakdown again? You start by studying your data, right? And you identify where you should be moving. Right. This is fine. One quick point I want to cover is the dimension of time. Some charts are aggregate charts. So if you're creating the data for it, you're aggregating all your data for it. So like you can never plot a pie chart across time. You can never plot a map across time. You can never plot a relationship chart across time, right? Because the axis itself is not existing. So that's something worth noting. These are the various visual encodings that your eyes will understand. It's a nice breakdown given by Noah Elinsky. He's a designer at IBM now, I think. So let's take a first case study. We did this for first post. The work given to us was, can you visualize the cricket scorecard? And we started looking at various cricket scorecards across these various news portals that are there. And all of them are extremely text heavy.  So what we realized is that this is not the right way to do it. So first thing, as I mentioned, whenever you have a thing to do, a visualization to do, you first start by breaking your data set. Your data set out here is pre-match, you have toss playing 11 location time. Post-match is who won the match by how much managed the match. You have per batsman statistics, per boiler statistics, second-run innings, follow-up tickets, partnerships, ball-by-ball commentary. So it's a pretty large data set with a whole lot of dimensions. It's like, if you start plotting it without understanding these dimensions, there will be a lot of way too many charts. But we realize one dimension is very important, time. And time in cricket is denoted by the unit of overs. So that is the common denominator. That dimension is the common denominator across all the other data sets. One over has many balls, one over has one boiler, one over has many batsmen. The existence of batsmen across overs is partnership. The end of that existence is follow-up tickets. So the common denominator is overs. And then we started plotting it. So what we did was we put the overs in the x-axis and the balls in the y-axis and started writing them one run. So first over, first ball is one run. First over, second ball four runs. Now wickets is a very important event. So we started writing it in red. When there's a dot, it's not a very important event. So we just put a dot ball. So we started writing all of this data down. Then what we did was we started plotting partnerships. So let's say batsman one is batting from over one to let's say eight or nine. Batsman two is from one over one to over two. So their partnership is still over two. You see the parallel lines existence. And what we've effectively done is we used the weighted two-dimensional chart of circle comparison, right? Where the y-axis is where the x-axis is overs plus bowlers y-axis is balls for over. And if you hit a four runs, anything about three runs is a very important event, four, five, six. Those have a higher heat dot balls one run, etc. have a lower heat. So it's a weighted, the weight is the number of runs you score. Below that we took inspiration from the grad chart, which is your partnership start. Again, the y-axis, as I mentioned overs is your common denominator. So we reuse the same x-axis as before and plotted the partnerships. Now let's understand again, data, when you are trying to visualize data, do not show all your data in one go, right? You need to focus down on what the storyline is, you know, how the data is flowing. And any extra information that you want to show should be either through zooming or interactivity. That is how us, right? So when we have, when we had started the company, we were making a mistake of trying to show all the information. And increasingly we are working towards zooming and interactivity. So in our case, we put in this case, we put a lot of information in the interactivity part. So this is the end result. Actually, I'll show you life, show you life. Okay, so these are the two innings. This is, as I mentioned earlier, the overs, the bowler per over, the current two batsmen who are batting. The fours and sixes are highlighted. The ones and twos are dulled out, dulled out. While the no-bots are written out there, wickets are red in color. This is the partnership of the current batsmen. This is the current ball, right? And let's say if I want to see the full scorecard, I just click here. And the full scope of partnerships are visible now. And one nice thing I want to show is how if you look at the current batsmen. Okay. So let's go back to the presentation. Right, the current batsmen, you saw the zoom in version, right? All the other batsmen were dulled and grayed out. But we used color to highlight the current two batsmen. So use color to highlight your data models. Now interactivity, the moment you hover over the bowler, you will see, by the way, this is the current ball by ball commentary on the top. When you hover over the bowler, you will see only the overs that he has bowled, right? So this is M. Johnson.  So you now know what his bowling statistics were. Plus we'll have a pop-up here, tooltip showing like the strike rate and the wickets and all of that stuff.  And again, we have the statistics. If I want to look at the fact that who hit this four, I'll hover over this. The commentary will change to that ball. The batsman will be highlighted and the bowler will be highlighted. So interactivity to focus on finer details. Right. So if you start comparing this, it's way too smaller, right? It's really small. There's less reading, less scrolling and more awareness. And the best comment that we got from a reader was, it took two minutes for me to figure it out. But once I figured it out, there's no going back. It was, let's look at another example, election counting day. Right. So let's look at the data set. So again, we did this for first post, we are managing the election counting day. India has like lots of regional parties and two national parties. You have election counting day where you have this concept of leading and one data properties. You have hierarchical relationship between alliance and party. One is confirmed and leading is like transient. You're not sure if they won. What were the readers looking for in this election? They were looking at how badly would say UPA lose, how big would be the BJP victory and how big would be the impact of up, right? So again, we know what are the data sets to focus on. And real-world facts that we can use for design inspiration, BJP is a right wing party, up is a left wing party, and the sunset is like a semi-circle, like the actual parliament hall where they discuss. So what are the implications of this? Seats becomes a weight. The hierarchical relationship becomes a tree. The one and the leading becomes a group. The fact that people are looking at only these key points, we can club all of the parties into others and just like reduce the clutter. Next, we can put if the sunset is just the semi-circle, then we can put BJP here, which is a right wing and up, which is a left wing party, put them here. So placement is also taken care of. Now let's look at choosing the right chart. We had a group weighted tree chart, right? That's what the data set. So this is what we can choose from. Now, since it's a semi-circle, we anyways have to use a sunburst. There's no other option. This was the sunburst, right? Let's focus. So this is what we did. So what we've done here is, so actually, you know, let's go back. So the sunburst is generally a tree chart. You start from the root at the center and you're going towards the leaves towards the outside. Let's look here. Now you have these alliances out here on the outside, the parties out here in the inside. When you start hovering, you will see the actual values of whose meaning leading. You broken it into groups. That is the dark blue is the one, which is concrete data and the light transparent-ish blue is the leading data. Up is towards the left most, BJP is towards the right most. BJP plus by the way stands for NDA. We didn't want to use technical terms. Now, one problem, if you realize here, the root is starting from the innermost and the leaves outside. So initially, when we built this chart, the alliances were inside and the parties were outside. That's what D3 allows you to do. But then we realize the most important thing in elections in India, we didn't assume that you will get all the tickets, the seats. The most important thing is your alliance winning. So if the most important data point is if the alliance is winning, the alliance can't be given such a small area. The area for parties is way too less. So we actually spent I think some 200% more time redoing the whole chart, breaking D3's design patterns by putting the parent node outside and the children inside. So now the root is actually the whole thing. The next leaf is the alliances and then you have the children, the leaves. So this is what we did for election. So again, the idea here is that how do you see your data set? How do you identify what needs to be done? Look at the options that are available and then start bending those to actually give you the result you want. It's out here. Summary for data visualization is study the properties and relationships of your data set. It is very important. You can't start by saying I want to pie chart and then look at your data. You need to look at your data and then decide. Second, use your visual encodings very wisely. Very, very important. Otherwise, you'll get clutter. So this is the visualization bit. Now I'll get into challenges with data journalism. So these are the various steps in data journalism, according to us. Typically, you do data collection, then you clean the data, model the data, visualize the data, write the story. And the journalist is involved in all of these steps. The developer is in some of them and the designer is in some of them. Now, according to us at PIKI, there are two formats of data journalism. The first is data-driven stories. Data-driven stories are stories that revolve around current affairs. So this is something that India spent, fact checker, which is a part of India spent. It's a Mumbai based data journalism venture. What they did was after the, whether you rape case, they found legit data around crime against Dalit, analyzed the data, plotted the data and wrote a story around it. So data-driven stories are typically things that are very connected to current affairs. This is a visualization app. A visualization app is a planned project for a pre-brand activity. It's a massive project, right? You start collecting the data, modeling the data, identifying unknown parameters, design it, build it out. It takes a lot of time. So let's go back to our steps. Data-driven stories are generally things that journalists do themselves. You can't have a developer coming in to say that tomorrow morning I need to write an article. They probably don't even script data that quickly. Whereas visualization apps, all of them are involved. So the challenges with data journalism are how can you quickly access the appropriate data set, which Johnny here is helping with? How do you quickly analyze this data set? And how do you quickly consistently churn out neat charts and graphs and maps? That is what data wrapper is handling, right? Other challenges would be how do you model data lines? So like IPL data, the cricket score, or maybe stock market data, or maybe election counting day, all the data is coming live. It's like every second, every minute. But it needs to be remodeled to fit your visualization. How do you model that quickly? How do you do SEO for visualization? Have you thought about it? Like when we did these charts, this data sitting inside SVG elements, right? And Google does not read it that well. How do you do the SEO for it? It's a problem, right? How do you handle high traffic? These visualizations are extremely heavy, right? And from Pikes perspective, our problem is how do we consistently build beautiful real-time visualizations? So the beauty is important and real-time aspect is very important, right? So what have we done? We have built an in-house tool for ourselves. We typically use this to simplify our lives, right? So the first thing that we've done is the principle around which we've done this is instead of waiting for data to be standardized, we want to make large-scale, high-velocity, multi-format data extraction durable, right? So we've moved towards from writing just as web scraper for one site towards our complete infrastructure of how do you manage and pull data, right? For the developers here, it's driven around event machines. It built around event machines. The second thing is instead of expecting our data users and journalists to have analytical skills, how do we simplify exploration of large data sets? So I'll give you the example of senses. So by the way, this is the tonal approach. It's not looking proper out here, but the idea again was let's look at stories actually here, right? So the idea is that you can, there's a pretty heavy data set and you're filtering the data pretty live, if you can see. And so a journalist, there are more charts below. The journalist can actually just see that what are the lighting sources in various states. You'll go and click on UP, click schedule, cast schedule tribe, see that around 80% of the homes in UP for schedule tribes is led by what you call kerosene. Whereas you go to Gujarat and 80% is led by electricity. So how do you explore a large data set? You build a data explorer dashboard on top of it. Let's get back to this, right? So simplify exploration of large data sets. You build these explorer dashboards to automate extraction of metadata from data sets. This is very important. When data comes in, you don't know what the data is. And if you don't, if your computer does not understand the data, you are in trouble, right? So we built engines to understand given a data set, is this geographic data? Is it a date? Is it this? Is it that? We have dictionaries around this, which helps us clean the data and model the data, right? So you need to understand the metadata yourself. So the computer needs to understand the metadata itself. Next, you need to do assisted data standardization. So let's say if somebody is writing, you know, the data is like yes and true, right? Both are Boolean. We understand it, but the machine should understand it. If the data is tomorrow and second of March and actual date, how will the machine understand that all of them are actually dates? So we have tools around standardization of data. And finally, we have tools for assisted analysis. So there's this nice story that India spent covered about how the stolen cars in Bombay generally are Scorpios and fancy cars. So what they actually did was they took the data set of stolen cars, analyzed that there's either a cluster or an outlier. The story always revolves around clusters and outliers. So to find a cluster and outlier, you need programs. Of course, you can do it manually. But if you have a program which will say that, okay, this is all well distributed, this is what you need to focus on, then the journals will be way happy. Third point, instead of expecting data users and journalists that they'll visualize the data correctly, now that the engine has picked up the metadata, can you do metadata-driven visualization? So if it's ordinal data, then you should use saturation levels that is opacity to communicate using color. If it's categorical data, or let's say if you're using pie charts and the area, the number of values that you have are very high, then it should say, please don't use pie charts. So you need to understand that again, the machine needs to understand that metadata drives visualization. So it should take those smart decisions. I'll give you another example. So if you have data that you've plotted only for Western European countries, and the only other map that you have is that of world map, then your map, the visualization engine should automatically zoom into Western Europe. Because the rest of the point is irrelevant. You have only data for that. How do you do that? The engine should do it. Other examples with journals and plus plus, we're also experimenting with the data-driven blog. Most news sites are like WordPress, which is an article-driven engine. How do you do data-driven journalism? You have the, does your journalists have the tools to actually just explore data, plot it, do this, do that, and quickly get the story out for that you need a data-driven blog. Next, we use tools like configuration editors, this again something that we built in-house. The problem that we are facing is that journalists and businesses and clients always want things to be configurable. Developers always want things to be like the reason for that is that everything that you want to make configurable is a new structure in the database. And you're creating new tables. You're creating new models. You don't know how it's going to impact your design becomes unnecessarily clunky. So what we've done is we built a tool called as configuration editor, where you like the business guy that is the journalist goes in and says that I want the background color to be configurable. The SEO guy says that I want the metadata to come. I should be able to edit it myself. The meta tag should be this thing configurable. They just add a list. Automatically, that whole data set gets stored in a JSON file for us. And then there is a, it's like Google forms. It takes that metadata, generates a form that they can fill up against those into the JSON file. When they press publish, it goes to the CDN. Now the program that we are writing is picking it up and all of these values have got defaults. So the visualization works seamlessly and they can just change everything. So the problem is that as we are doing data journalism and these news organizations work at really high velocity, like it's scary like they are so like it has to be done by this time the story will become stable, et cetera, et cetera. How do you build tools that are designed around, you know, making data journalism easy? So these are some of our experiments. One thing that we've learned, we started off as a visualization company and we are increasingly becoming data and visualization company. We never planned to become like never planned to use no SQL or in-memory databases, et cetera, or NLP, but we need to do it. So data journalism really involves analyzing your data set. So another example that we now took was like press releases coming out. You need to have an NLP engine to analyze it. Let's say, so let's think of it this way. Let's plot the tweets of Narendra Modi, pre-election and tweets of Irvin Kejrivar and you have like line charts, four line charts. One line chart is positive tweets, positive sentiment tweets of Modi and negative sentiment tweets of Modi. Like what people are talking around Narendra Modi, not his tweets. And you have positive sentiment tweets of Kejrivar and negative sentiment tweets of Kejrivar. And now you take all of the data, you run an NLP engine on all the historical news that is being plotted in your news company, like all the articles that you have, and you understand that after which article, that is which event in real world, the tweets, that is the Twitter communication shifted from positive to negative for a certain political leader. That is NLP because like hot co energy or let's say if you have a presidential side election where it's Kejrivar Modi and Raul Gandhi and somebody's talking about somebody stands for secularism, somebody stands for communalism, etc, etc. There are these standard notions that we have of people and political leaders. Can we actually take the text of their speeches, crunch it using NLP and understand are they actually talking about secularism? Are they actually talking about communalism? This is also NLP. So data generally natural language processing. Yes, so you take the speech of the text and analyze, convert it into numbers, basically. So we started off as a visualization company and increasingly we are becoming a data analytics and visualization. I think that's it. Some fun fact, the name Paiki comes from a capture. So when I started the company, somebody wanted to buy something, I wanted to sell something, I didn't have money, and I didn't have time to actually plan the name of the company. No, no, no. So just use the capture to name the company, till we do what we decided that it was, till we do good work, it doesn't matter what you're calling it. It's actually a very nice way to not waste time on deciding. Yeah, we thought of Sanskrit words and Gujarati words and then English words and started looking for an African language and okay, okay, this is getting really crazy. So this is it. So the tools you are using, you are using for a party like the resorts, the backstage you are calling. See now, as and when we face problems, we know we are going to fall. Like certain cases, like many times the expected traffic for certain event was X, but we got like three X or four X or five X, right? Or the data coming in was like at a higher velocity than we could handle, and we failed. So what we did was overnight we cooked up something which is going to next time help us analyze it better. Actually, I can give you a one of the very early versions of the tool. You want a demo, I can show it's a website. So I don't know if you'll see it. Let's see. So this is the first prototype of that configuration editor that we cooked up. So let's go. Right. So let's label what I got. That is the background color, BG color, right about text. It's all around HTML5. Take this and go to is the text one save it? How do you do this? How do you do this? Okay. Now, okay. Yeah, much better. Right. So now press here. And we have what is the background color, right? Okay, I can see the tooltip like the color selector out here, right? So background color is red. And now you save it. It's goes in the value of the same. What have we done? We've effectively eliminated the need for changing databases, right? Journalists and the SEO guys and the business guys can decide what is configurable and it's configurable. But what are you able to decide the dimensions of the type of difference? No, that is, I come to that. But this is only for configuration. This is like the IT configuration editor. Right. So let's look at this. Let's go to datasets. I want to explain the concept of workers. When you start pulling data at really high velocity, it becomes a problem because you don't know what is failing is the NSE API problem, like is the crickets core card feed a problem or is your processing a problem? What's going on? So let's look at this worker. It's a test worker. Basically, every data set in Python has got workers associated with it. And you go in and it was so basically it did the fetch did the web scrapping or did API pulling or whatever that is. Identify that is 0.2, one to second it fetch so much. How many records it fetched if there's an error. And then did the processing. That's the cleaning, the saving, the modeling. So with this we are able to do live modeling. And then sometimes when you need to push live data to CDNs, it will do the live push. So we know which step is failing. Now for a typical IPM match, you know, like there are lots of these things working like in like seconds. So we can monitor things very quickly. If we don't have these tools and what will happen is that we'll write something in PHP, it will be in PHP, it will be working in PHP. There's no way to monitor all of this or Ruby and Rails for a matter. Right. So now let's analyze an actual data set. Let's pull Pyki Twitter, which has no data. And let's say it has to refresh automatically every 4,000 seconds. Again, I don't know if it's going to work or not. It's a very early prototype. Let's see. It's supposed to be your image here. Yeah, no. So I can click on it once the image comes. We'll see the workers. Okay, so basically we'll go back to that same page, see that the first fetch worker worked in so much seconds. It pulled how much data and then was the modeling done? You can see the data there. In case you were doing the data and how you put it in there, like what are you going to do? It's like it's pulling the data, right, from some place. So pulling or? Yeah, no. So again, without this system, we would fetch, keep pulling data, new data, without modeling it, because modeling takes a longer period of time. And then that would get stacked up and then something would fail. Right. So now how this works is you do fetch, you do modeling, right? You push it to the CDN and push to CDN as a separate worker and then you start fetching again. Yes. Pulling is on this front end. The data needs to be modeled. Right. I think elections are better example. So once this is done, it would then go to the next stage, the next stage, the next stage. Right. What we can't see here right now is the visualization layer. I can show one more. So let's call this demo.   Let's call this Y. Let's call this updated yesterday. Let's call Somalia balls. Right. So now we've taken a date column, which is in text. We've taken Boolean column, which is in random Boolean standards. Let's see if the worker man. Right. So again, this is a UI error, but despite the fact it was Y and true and false random data, it helped with the probability of being Boolean. So it is extracted metadata. Despite the fact that this is yesterday and something I mean, it knows it's state time. So this is smart extraction of metadata. And now what does assist its standardization? The fact that we know that this is not standardized data, but it is daytime. So we can convert it. You can take today minus one becomes yesterday. So, yeah, so. So that's the objective, right? If you have geodata, if you have all the country data, it should convert it to ISO codes, right? It should find clusters. So yeah, I think that's it.


Well, please open in your Bible, if you will, to Matthew chapter 11. As I was praying about what the Lord would have us study together tonight, He put on my heart to have us look at a very special and precious portion of Scripture. In Matthew 11, the title of the message tonight is Rest for Your Soul, Rest for Your Soul. And the Scripture we want to look at is in Matthew chapter 11 verses 28 through 30. In the last century there was a great pastor, a great man of God, his name was Peter Marshall. He fasted in New York City and God had such an anointing on his life that eventually he became the chaplain of the Senate here in the United States of America. He was a powerful preacher. He was an anointed preacher. But there was a story that he would often tell and Peter Marshall was kind of known for telling this amazing story. The story called The Keeper of the Spring. It goes like this, many years ago there was a quiet old man who lived high above a beautiful Austrian village on the eastern slopes of the Alps. This wonderful old man had been hired by the town council below to clear away all of the debris from the spring that fed the small lake in the center of their quaint little town. With faithful, silent regularity, this keeper of the spring would patrol the hills above and remove any of the leaves and the branches and the sticks that would muck up the spring and the pools of water above so that there would always be a flow of fresh water to the village that was down below. Well, as you might imagine in time this little town became a very popular attraction among tourists, graceful swans floated in the lake, the mill wheels of business turned round and round splashing with clear water, the farmlands were naturally irrigated and the view from the restaurants was picturesque beyond the describing. But many were unaware that the reason why their little town was what it was had to do with the keeper of the spring. They thought that the reason everyone wanted to come to their village had to do with what they were doing. And so one day when the keeper of the spring happened to visit the village, the town council called him into their chambers and informed him that they didn't need him anymore, that they could take care of things on their own, they could spend their money on better things than an old keeper of the spring. Well, at first nothing changed. But as the trees shed their leaves and as the small branches snapped off, they began to muck up the spring and the pools of water that were above and down in the village below people started to notice a yellowish brown tint in the stream and the lake. A few days later the water had become much darker and within a week a slimy film covered the lake and the now dirty water had an awful smell. The swans left, the mill wheels ground to a halt, the crops began to die, the villagers started getting sick and the tourists all went away. Realizing they had made a terrible mistake, the town council went out in search of the old keeper of the spring and with great humility they sought his forgiveness and they pleaded for his help and at their simple invitation the keeper of the spring went back to work. He cleared out the sticks and the leaves and all of the junk that had plugged up and polluted the water and in no time at all the water below was clear and clean and fresh again.  You see the life of the village depended on the health of the spring and Peter Marshall used to say you are the town and the spring is your soul.  The Bible says in Proverbs 4 and verse 23, keep your heart, keep your soul, keep your inner person with all diligence because out of it comes all the issues of light. The most important part of you isn't your body. It is your soul and the keeping of your soul is the most significant thing you can do. This is why I like a book by John Ortberg called Soul Keeping, Caring for the most important part of you. John Ortberg was a well-known pastor here in the United States of a very large church and he was so busy, busy, busy, hurried, hurried, hurried with the hectic pace of life and ministry. He knew something was wrong and so one day he called up a friend of his and said, something is wrong and so one day he called up a friend and a mentor, Dallas Willard, who is a great spiritual formation writer and professor and he began to describe to Dallas Willard all that was going on in his life and he said, can you just help me, I need some help. What is it that I need to do so that things will change in my life? There was silence on the other end of the line and all of a sudden Dallas Willard said, well here's what you need to do. You must ruthlessly eliminate, hurry from your life. There was a pause. Ortberg says, well that's really good, I wrote that one down. What else do I need to do? There was another pause. Willard said, there is nothing else. You must ruthlessly eliminate, hurry from your life. In his book, Soul Keeping, Ortberg writes, I've concluded that my life and the well-being of those around me depend on Willard's prescription. Hurry is the great enemy of our spiritual life in our day. Hurry destroys our souls. As someone has well said, hurry is not of the devil. It is the devil. Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry. Busy, busy, busy, busy. Reminds me of what happened many years ago. Some explorers who went over to Africa, they wanted to see the countryside and so they hired some local African tribal guides and they wanted to get to a certain location so they kept pushing the guides. Let's go a little further. Let's go a little faster. We need to get there. They kept driving them and driving them and finally they reached one point and these African guys, they just sat down and they said, we're not going to move. They said, well, we got to get up and go. And they said, we're not going to move. And they said, why are you not going to move? And they said, we must pause and wait for our souls to catch up with our bodies. The founder of that little devotional, Our Daily Bread, Henry Bosch, comments on that story and he says, if our schedule leaves no time for rest and nurturing our spiritual life, we are just too busy. God does not ask us to be constantly on the go rushing here and there.  And this is exactly what Jesus was talking about in the passage of Scripture that we're studying tonight. In Matthew chapter 11 verse 28 through 30, Jesus talks about having rest for your soul. Notice what he says. In Matthew chapter 11 beginning in verse 28, Jesus says, come unto me all who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am meek or gentle and lowly in heart. And you will find rest for your souls for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Again, Jesus says, come unto me all who are weary and heavy-laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I am meek and lowly in heart. And you will find rest for your souls for my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Dear ones, those precious words are found only in the Gospel of Matthew, only here. You will not find these words in Mark, you will not find these words in Luke, you will not find these words in John, you will find them here and only here. And so precious, so wonderful, so powerful, so important are these words that that great preacher in London Charles had in Spurgeon preached no less than 12 messages on this passage alone. The key part of what Jesus says is right at the end of verse 29. Look there again, underline it. You will find rest for your souls. Your soul, what's that? Well, in the Bible it's your mind, it's your emotions, it's your heart, it's your spirit, it's your inner person. It's that most important part of you. And Jesus said that most important part of you needs rest. The Greek word translated rest on apousis means refreshing. It means restoring.  It needs resting, it needs restoring, it needs renewing. You rest your body, but what about rest for your soul? I'm convinced, I'm absolutely convinced. So many Christians in America, that is exactly what's lacking, it's exactly what they need. And as I was praying, I just believe there are so many of you here tonight. That's exactly what you need. You've come here and you need rest for your soul. But here's the question, how do you find rest for your soul? Well, I'm so glad you asked, because right here Jesus tells us exactly how you can get rest for your soul. The key to any passage of the Bible so many times is to look for what are the action words. When we teach students in the Bible college here and over in Golden Springs with Calvary Chapel Bible College, when we teach them, we teach them look for these words, because they will show you what a passage is all about. And in this passage, there are three key action words, three key verbs. I want you to underline them right now in your Bible.  It's all about rest for your soul, but how do you get that rest? Yes, I want you to underline in verse 28 the word, come. Then I want you to underline in verse 29 the word, take. And then I want you to underline in verse 29 the word, learn. Come, take, learn. Come, take, learn. Can you say those three words with me? Come, take, learn. And learn. Say them again. Come, take. If you want to have rest for your soul. Number one, you've got to come to Jesus. Number two, you've got to yoke with Jesus. And number three, you've got to learn from Jesus. If you will come to Jesus and yoke with Jesus and learn from Jesus, then what will happen is you'll have that renewing, that refreshing, that rest for your inner person, your heart, your mind, your emotions, your soul. The first thing that we need to do if we want to have rest for our souls is we need to come to Jesus. Notice in verse 28 Jesus says again, come to me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. This is such a wonderful and beautiful invitation. Notice the first word. Jesus says, come. In the original, that word come is in a present tense, which means it is continuous and repeated. In other words, it means to come to Him over and over and over and over again. True people come to Jesus and pray a sinner's prayer and experience what we call salvation, but that's not the end of it for the believer. Because Jesus invites us to come and to keep on coming. To come to Him in the morning, to come to Him at noon, to come to Him at night, to come to Him on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday and Thursday and Friday and Saturday and Sunday to come to Him in January and February and March and April and May and June and July and August and September and October and November and December to come to Him and to keep coming to Him over and over again.  Come. Come to me. Come to me all. I like that word all. Not come to me some of you or many of you or most of you. Not come to me those of you who are rich and famous or those of you who are well-known or those of you who are mighty or those of you who need nothing. Jesus, come to me all. Our Savior is a whosoever will may come, Savior.  The arms of Jesus are open. Come and keep on coming to Him. All of us can come to Him no matter who we are, no matter where we are, no matter what's going on in our life. The invitation is always an open invitation, but though all of us are always welcome to come to Him, this invitation of Jesus is so precious because He doesn't just throw it out to anybody and everybody. He says, come unto me all who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest. Come unto me all who are weary. It's the word kapiao in Greek and a very interesting word. It's a word that means to labor, to work, to be exhausted, to be worn out. Just talking about the physical side of not going to ask you to raise your hand, but so many in this room tonight have worked all day long and you're weary and exhausted and worn out and it's possible for people to wake up early and work all day and go to bed late and do the same thing the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and the next day and not only are they physically weary, but something happens inside of them. This word translated weary cannot only mean to work, to labor, to be exhausted, to be worn out. It can also be translated to be discouraged, to lose heart, to come to the place that you want to give up. I was talking about the inward side of this because there's an outward side of it, the stress, the pressure, the anxiety, the constant go, go, go, work, work, work, work, work, what can happen is it can make you weary, not only physically weary, but mentally weary and emotionally weary and Jesus says when you're tired and when you're worn out and when you're discouraged and when you're worried and frustrated come to me all who are weary and what causes the weariness? Well, the next phrase and heavy laden. The word translated heavy laden fortizo in Greek means to be burdened, to be weighed down.  And do you know what? There are so many people in our world who are weary and heavy laden. You work with them. You live next door to them. You live with them. Some of them are your family and your friends. There are so many who are weary and heavy laden and what they need is to come to Jesus. Weary. It reminds me of the true story of a man named Joseph Crater. It to this day is still one of the most mysterious and mystifying cases of missing persons in the FBI. On August 15, 1930, a 45-year-old New York State Supreme Court Justice named Joseph Crater spent an evening out eating Italian dinner with his friends. He walked out of the restaurant, he hailed a taxi and he was never seen from or heard from again. The FBI, because he was the Supreme Court Justice in New York was immediately called in to investigate the case. They initially thought it was kidnapping because someone had a judicial grudge but that lead never panned out. Then next they thought it was mafia activity because he was an enemy of the mafia but that led nowhere as well. To this day there is only one clue that remained. When Mrs. Crater returned to their apartment the evening that her husband disappeared on the table was a large check and there was a note attached to the check in her husband's handwriting which simply said this, I am very, very tired, love Joe and he was never seen from or heard from again to bad he didn't know about Jesus, to bad he didn't come to Jesus, to bad he didn't know the invitation was open all who were weary and burdened down come to me and I will give you rest but you know what, here's the truth. Even many of God's people, even many Christians feel weary and heavy laden, we thank God for technology but the frantic pace of our lives and the constant barrage of texts and emails and all of these things begins to take its toll. Tim Hansel in a great book I like called when I relax I feel guilty, he writes, ours is the day of a half red page before the road rage, the day of a quick hash to make a mad dash, the day of bright lights and our nerves are tight, the day of a plain hop for just a brief stop, the day of a lamp tan in a short span, the day of the brain strained our heart is pained, the day of a short nap until the spring snaps, we hurry and we worry and for what? Do you hear your Savior? Do you hear His still small voice speaking to you right now? Come to me. Come to me. Come to me. But here's the thing. To come to Jesus, you must come away from the world. I want to say that again. It might be the most important thing that I say tonight. To come to Jesus, you must come away from the world. You must come away from your cell phone. You must come away from your computer. You must come away from your television. You must come away from the hurry and the flurry and the busyness around you. You must come apart and spend time with Jesus. In Mark 6 and verse 31, Jesus said to His disciples, come apart with me and rest for a while. And Mark adds why Jesus said that. Jesus said, come apart with me and rest for a while for they were coming and going and didn't even have time to eat. Of course you would never skip lunch because you're so busy.  And Jesus said, come apart with me and rest for a while. I like how Warren Wearsby said it. He said, if you don't come apart with Jesus you will come apart. Come apart. Do you hear him? Come to me. Leave your phone at home. Go for a walk. Go for a drive in your car and don't turn on the radio. Come apart. Come to Him. He's inviting you. He's inviting you tonight to come to Him. There was a Danish sculptor named Bertel Thorvaldson. And Thorvaldson is known for his most famous statue that he chiseled, a statue called the Christ. Today if you go to a Lutheran church in Copenhagen you can see this masterpiece of art. But there is an interesting story behind Thorvaldson chiseling that famous statue, the Christ. Before chiseling the marble, Thorvaldson made a model of clay so he would know exactly how he wanted it to look like so when he chiseled in the marble that it would come out right. And he had in his mind something that he wanted to make. He had this powerful image of Jesus where Jesus' head was lifted in majesty, his hands were raised in power and authority and he worked on the clay, he worked on the clay, he worked on the clay until it was just perfect. He went home that night and the window of the studio was open. His studio happened to be right near the ocean and the cold ocean air and the night fog came into the room so that in the morning when Thorvaldson came in the head of Christ was not lifted up, it was drooped down. The hands of Christ were not lifted up, they were drooped down and he looked at his work all that time and effort and he thought, man, this is... he began to get all frustrated and then God whispered to his heart that's how it's supposed to look. So he began to chisel that career at marble so what would be a savior? Who's looking down with his hands open to anyone? And down below when he was all done he chiseled the words that begin this text in verse 28, come unto me. Come unto me. Do you hear your savior whispering to your heart tonight? Dear one, you need rest in your soul. You need to come to me. But if you want that rest you not only need to come to Jesus you need to yoke with Jesus. This is what we see in verses 29 and 30. Jesus says, take my yoke upon you and learn from me for I'm making lowly in heart and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light. Yoke, take my yoke upon you. What is Jesus talking about? Well, so many people in our day because they don't live on a farm. They don't work with that. Yoke was a piece of wood. It had usually two holes in it because two oxen would plow together and the farmer would yoke up the two oxen and then he would go behind them with a plow and he would plow his field. A yoke. And it speaks of a work that is to be done.  Because, you see, Jesus has a work for you to do that only you can do. Two things about this beautiful yoke. Jesus said, my yoke is easy and my burden is light. My yoke is easy, he said. That is an interesting word in the original. It is the word Christos. Here's what it means. Comfortable. Well fitting. Designed just for you. You know what this word means because you've gone to the shoe store to buy shoes before and you try this one on now and that one now and then you find that pair of shoes that fits just right and the longer you have it the more comfortable those you don't care what they look like or what anybody says about it man those are my comfortable shoes and Jesus, listen has a yoke that is fit just for you. Listen it's custom made the size of it is perfect for you and only you. It is fascinating that this yoke was made of wood and that Jesus was the son of Joseph the carpenter New Testament scholar Myron Ausberg describes how there is an ancient tradition that in Joseph's carpenter shop one of their specialties was to make yokes for oxen and that there was a sign on the wall where Jesus worked with his father that said best fitting yokes made here and Jesus has a work for you to do and only for you to do sometimes the reason why people are weary and heavy laden is because they're doing what they're not supposed to do they're doing what somebody else is supposed to do but not what they're supposed to do they're not doing what God has called them to do they want to do something that everybody else is called to do and you will find rest for your soul only when you know what is it that the Lord has called you to do Jesus says my yoke will fit you perfectly oh this is so comfortable but his yoke is not only well fitting easy comfortable his burden is light why would he say that because in ancient times when the farmers yoked up those two oxen they did something interesting they would yoke an older stronger wiser oxen with a younger weaker oxen to let the younger one begin to understand what working in the field was all about and so when they did that all of the weight was being carried by that older wiser stronger oxen so that the younger one really wasn't carrying anything at all it was fun it was easy and Jesus says come to me come right in beside me come to that place where I've designed for you nobody else it's for you and let me do all the pulling see when you try to do any work on your own you're gonna fail you're gonna wear out you're gonna get weary but when you get him beside Jesus and Jesus is doing all the work you're like this is awesome this is seriously amazing yoke with me what does that mean it's a metaphor it's an illustration it's an image of walking with Jesus come to Jesus get close to Jesus and walk with him walk with him walk with him learn his mind learn his heart be with him spend a time with him that's where rest for your soul is it isn't in the latest movie it isn't in the latest entertainment it isn't a day at the beach it isn't a day at Disneyland what you really need is rest in your soul and you're only gonna find that rest in your soul when you come in close to Jesus and walk with Jesus the old saints knew that I remember when I was in bible college one of the ministries that I did that I loved so much was to go into the rest homes the nursing homes and I used to go in on Sunday afternoons and do a little service you know with the size print on it was like 99 or something like that I mean it was monstrously big and I would always say this you know here they are in their little wheelchairs or whatever and I would always say what song do you want to sing today and every single time they would say can we sing that old song just a closer walk with thee the words I am weak but thou art strong Jesus keep me from all wrong I'll be satisfied as long as I walk let me walk close to thee through this world of toil and snares if I falter Lord who cares who with me my burden shares none but thee none but thee the chorus just a closer walk with thee is my plea daily walking close to thee let it be dear lord let it be try it tomorrow on your lunch hour just walk out of the office go for a five minute walk with Jesus watch what happens to your day get up a few minutes earlier tomorrow and go for a walk with Jesus tomorrow night when you get home instead of turning on the television which tells you to buy all these things you don't need and indians you will all these depressing news stories get your mind all worried and anxious and free just go for a walk just walk with Jesus how do you find rest for your soul number one you come to Jesus number two you yoke with Jesus you walk with Jesus and number three you learn from Jesus verse 29 take my yoke upon you and learn and learn from me for I am meek and lowly and hard and you will find rest for your souls learn from me the word montano here is such a beautiful word it means to be discipled by it means to be personally tutored by you know there are things that Jesus wants to teach you have you ever thought about how wonderful that is well suppose you wanted to play the piano and Beethoven were still alive and he said meet me at the piano tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock I'd be there let's say that you wanted to learn to paint and Rembrandt were still alive tomorrow come into my studio and I'll teach you everything I know I'd be there some of you ladies suppose you wanted to cook and Julia Childs were still alive and she said meet me in the kitchen tomorrow night I'll teach you how to cook dinner well he'd be right there best cook there was suppose you wanted to sing and Whitney Houston were still alive and she said tomorrow just come over to my house how about singing suppose some of you guys wanted to learn to play golf and tonight when you got home you got a call from Jack Nicholas meet me at the golf course tomorrow morning I'd be there suppose you wanted to play basketball and Michael Jordan sent you a text meet me in the gym tomorrow morning I'd be there suppose you wanted to lead worship or play guitar and Chris Tomlin said in my house I'd be glad to teach you but who wants to teach you is not some finite human being who wants to teach you is Jesus the one who knows everything he wants to teach you how to pray he wants to teach you how to minister for him he wants to teach you how to love he wants to teach you about spiritual gifts he wants to tutor you men how to be a good husband he wants to tutor you wives how to be a good wife he wants to teach you parents how to be good parents he wants to teach you how to be a blessing on your job and in your family there's so many things Jesus wants to teach you and he is the best teacher there is and the reason why he's such a wonderful teacher is because he's meek and lowly in heart the word that's translated meek here is interesting where there really is no English word to translate it our modern translations say gentle that's a pretty good translation but the basic sense of the word is power under control this particular word was used in ancient times of medicine if you give a person too much medicine they're going to overdose but if you give them medicine in just the right amount it will heal them it was used of the wind hurricane force wind can be very destructive but if you take some wind and put it in the sail of the ship it becomes very useful because you have all that power under control it was used of a horse in ancient times who was wild but that horse broken and bridled it could become very very useful it was power under control whenever I think of this word of an illustration that comes to mind it'll be stuck in your mind now too it's Chuck Norris holding a butterfly I mean Chuck Norris he's holding a butterfly gentle and the one listen who's omnipotent and all powerful and spoke the universe into existence he's so gentle and he's lowly in heart in other words he doesn't make you come up to him he comes down to you to write where you are and he's coming to you tonight he wants to teach you oh what an invitation to be taught by Jesus like Matthew 12 verse 20 it says of Jesus a bruised reed he will not break and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out a bruised reed it's about ready to snap he's not going to break it he's going to be gentle with it a wick that's just embers there he's not going to snuff it out he's going to bring the fire back to life like Psalm 103 verse 14 God knows our frame and he remembers we are dust what a wonderful teacher Jesus is and he wants to teach you what do you want to learn from Jesus you can just ask him Lord how do I do this could you please teach me I would pray when Jesus says come to me, yoke with me and learn from me our response would be like that of Samuel 3 verse 10 when he said speak Lord for your servant is listening I pray our response would be that of David in Psalm 25 verse 4 when he said show me your ways Lord teach me your paths there is so much Jesus wants to teach you and one of the biggest lessons he's teaching you to slow down to stop hurrying and to wait for him this is a powerful lesson that was learned by a teenage boy in Japan in a way he never ever forgot it's told in the classic story by Chuck Swindall called the tale of the tardy ox cart he actually got the story from syndicated columnist Bill Rose the story is in 1945 there was a farmer in Japan he was trying to teach his son the importance of waiting on God's timing and one day his son learned that lesson in a way he never ever forgot you see several times a year the farmer and his son would load their ox cart with vegetables they would go to the nearest big city to sell their produce one morning bright and early they hitched up their ox to the cart loaded the produce and headed off to Germany the hurried son figured if they walked faster and faster and kept going all night they could be their first to sell their produce at the highest price so he kept prodding the ox with a stick and urging the beast to go faster and faster his father said take it easy son all in God's time all in God's time but father he said get in the market ahead of others we'll get a better price the father just said all in God's time all in God's time then as they journeyed on the son grew more irritated when his father stopped by the roadside to find a comfortable spot to rest for a few hours just before sunrise the son awoke his father they headed down the road about a mile down the road they saw a farmer in the ditch no said the son we gotta get there we don't have time for this but the father said all in God's time all in God's time and he got down to help the needy farmer it was almost 8 o'clock in the morning by the time they got back on the road suddenly there was a great flash of lightning that split a clear sky and it was followed by what sounded like thunder then beyond them the hills in the sky drew dark looks like big rain in the city said the old man but the hurried son just grumbled all the more if we had a hurried like I would have wanted to we would have been there by now and sold all of our produce all in God's time said the father all in God's time it was late afternoon of August 6, 1945 when they finally reached the top of the hill that overlooked the city and when they saw the city they stopped and stared down at it for a long, long time neither of them saying a word they just sat there as they looked down at what was Hiroshima, Japan after the first atomic bomb had been dropped on that city and if they had hurried they would have been destroyed along with so many other people that lost their lives that day as they turned to go the father looked at his son and said once again all in God's time all in God's time the songwriter said in his time in his time he makes all things beautiful in his time in his time listen Lord, please show me every day as you're teaching me your way that you'll do just what you say in your time dear ones as I was praying about what to share with you tonight I felt so strongly the Lord directing us to this passage because I believe there are so many of us who need that rest for our souls and how do you find that rest oh, you come to Jesus you yoke with Jesus you walk with him and then you learn from Jesus I finished tonight with a prayer it's a prayer I've read so many times it's a prayer I seem to be praying more and more these days a prayer written by Oren Crane called slow me down Lord he writes slow me down Lord ease the pounding of my heart and quiet the trouble of my mind slow me down slow me down Lord and steady my hurried pace with the vision of the eternal reaches of time in the confusion and flurry of the day give me the calmness of the everlasting hills slow me down Lord and help me to send my roots deep into the soil of your Word and your presence that I might grow stronger the oh Lord, remind me throughout the day that the race is not always to the swift and that there is more to life than increasing its speed let me look up at the towering oak tree and know that it grew great and strong because it grew slowly and well slow me down Lord and help me to see that what it is I need most is to come to to yoke with and to learn from thee Father, we thank you so much for the words of our Savior that we have studied tonight Lord, I feel in my heart I've needed them so much I feel in my heart we've needed them so much Lord, I pray for all these precious people here at Calvary Chapel, Chino Valley I've grown to love them so much Lord, we live in such a crazy busy hurried frantic world and it's affecting all of us we thank you Lord that we can just come into this place tonight and not be in a hurry just come here and rest Lord, I pray you would do in this moment what I can't do what nobody else but you can do and that is to give that rest, that renewing that refreshing, that restoring in the souls of your people Lord, I pray even now as we just spend a moment or two worshiping you Lord, we pray that that renewing work would happen it would be a miracle just inside of us Lord everything that we need we would catch our spiritual breath or that as we wait upon you that you would renew our strength you would restore our soul so bless us as we worship thank you for it let's stand together can we and let's just spend a few moments worshiping as we finish tonight but let the Lord do that work in each of our hearts let's worship

Welcome to Psychic Medium, Tony Green. I am Tony Green the Psychic Medium and we are about to start the show. Hopefully I can talk. Just to let you know we might hear some noises today because I it's just so beautiful here that I opened the doors and let some fresh air in. Yay, fresh air, right folks? Right? For those of us who live where it's snowy and we have to basically board or plastic everything up, getting that fresh air, that's a thing, that's a real thing. That's all I'm saying. It's a it's a whole thing. Okay, a couple quick things. Everybody in the chat is asking for songs. I love it. We're going to get to them because there is this montage of a song that's been going on all morning that I cannot stop laughing at. But before we go there, let's get here. This show does air on WSCS and all of their streaming channels and podcasts and their YouTube channels, Rude Rangers TV, all of their radio stations, podcasts and streaming channels. So when you're asking questions, let's keep that in mind. And also this show airs on almost every podcast there is. I know I'm forgetting something and it's okay. I will never reach out to you on any social media, never ever. So please don't get scammed. Please don't be scammed by that. Okay. I want to go straight to the chat and answer some of their questions and then I'm going to go to callers. So Heather asked if there were any songs for her today. And Heather, I'm getting a Kathy. I don't know if it's a grandma, great grandma, auntie. I don't know. But love is in the air. I can feel it all around. That's your song for the day. And then Genevieve said songs, songs, songs. What are the songs today? Rebecca is above you. I'm so sorry, Genevieve. Rebecca, if there's songs on the show today, what's mine for today? So Rebecca's song is okay. There's an alarm going off and I'm trying to block it out. Let's go. You can get it if you want it. It's the song, Rebecca. I know the song, but they're only playing this bitty, bitty part of it. Let's go. I think the next line is you can get it if you want it. If I get more of that song, Rebecca, I'm going to bring it to you and I'm so sorry that that's all I'm getting. But I think the message is let's go. Let's get going. You can get it if you want it. You just want it and go get it. That's the message, Rebecca. Genevieve says songs, songs, songs. Genevieve, I love you. Thank you for everything you're doing. Thank you so much. Genevieve, I'm going to play the montage or do the montage of songs on that. But there is a song for you, Genevieve. But before I go to the montage, before I go to your personal song, I'm doing the montage. So all morning, I've been hearing the lyric, Why can't we be friends? And then I hear, to the left, to the left. Everything you own in a box to the left. And then I hear, why can't we be friends? And then I hear, because you would know, because you would know, because you really, really, really good though. And then I hear, why can't we be friends? And I am laughing so hard at this. It's almost like, it's like somebody is like saying, yeah, I know I've done you dirty, but why can't we be friends? And this is the comeback that this person is giving them. So that was cracking me up all morning, by the way, just saying, there it is. Okay. Genevieve, your song of the day is, give me a second here. Seriously? Okay. Genevieve, your song of the day is Itsy Bitsy Spider. Itsy Bitsy Spider crawled up the water spout. Down came the rain and washed the spider out. Out came the sun and tried to ball the rain. There you go, Genevieve. That should have some kind of significance to you in some way. And I think I know what that means, but it's not for me to just, to say what, what your meaning is. Okay. And there are so many people coming in. If you are watching on YouTube, please say hi, get in the chat. If you have a question, if you want it, something healed, finances, love, money, any of it.  I'm going to do it for everybody right here right now. Here it goes. When I use this word, don't let your mind go to the typical place. Okay. Because I did this for me last night. And it was something. All slave contracts and agreements have been cleared, healed, and released. I get a note. So we're going to start clearing, healing, and release that. So we come in with certain agreements, but then I just, I'm not even going to go into that. If you feel it, you feel it. If you know, you know, there's nothing more I can say about that. Sometimes we feel like a slave to our work, to our money, to people. It is not that traditional, what we know as that word to be. Right? So there's that. It was amazing. Okay. Hey, everybody, I'm going to go to the first caller. When I call your area code, please let me know. Where are you calling from? Hey, Patrick. Jay Francis, Nancy. Hey, Nancy. Joy, Vaughn, Lollie. Hey, Lollie. Lollie's in Cape Town right now, everybody. Okay.  And then you have a question or a connection to the other side available, 205. What's your name? Where are you calling from? I'm telling you my name is Patricia. I'm from Alabama. And I know I spoke to you about this situation with my uncle, he's the 75 year old veteran who has been removed from his home by a veteran affair because my brother moved his woman and children in and they refused to believe. I think she's trying to use the keeper in the home, getting married to her. Do you feel that a sense that around the two, a union? No. As a matter of fact, it's bluff or fraud. Even if he does, okay. So this is what I'm going to say. He might be saying that he did or he's going to, it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. I do feel like this is going to end with a court order and just, I'll just leave it at court order. I do feel like they are going to fight tooth and nail to keep that residence or to be able to stay in that residence, but somebody has to bring the hammer down hard on them. Stop playing footsies with them or tootsies with them. Someone thinks, whomever is handling this thinks they can use like love and logic on them, but they are straight up, please don't anybody be offended by this word. They are straight up shyster-y type of energy. They're trying to scam in a big way here. And they only care about themselves. So whoever's handling this, whoever's doing the one-on-one with them, who's ever doing the, telling them they have to leave, they can't even say that the brother can stay. They have to say, now the brother has to go. Because once the male is put in the position of he's going to lose his thing, he'll start to do what's right, but he's going to slow walk it. So what you have, what has to be done here is whoever is handling this, just stop playing with these people, go to court, get an eviction started and get them out because the longer it takes for that court order or that eviction to be started and served, just the longer the whole process is going to take, get their butts out of there.  And I feel like, gosh, just you need, whoever's talking to the person in this house, they need to say, we don't care if you're married, we don't care if these are your biological, we want you all gone. They just need to like lay a line and not cross that line and not waver and not have this be a negotiation because whoever in that house thinks they're very, very slick and they think they're going to win. They're constantly maneuvering. Gosh darn it, if they maneuver that hard at work and money and like an actual business, could you imagine all these people out here like coming up with these scams? If they put it towards something legit, could you imagine where they would be in life? But no, they got to go skeezy with it, don't they? Like in that song. Yeah, she would own her own house, but you're absolutely right. It's the VA that is, we just left the district attorney's office on Monday, so you're right. What we're doing is called the Ejectment and not Eviction because they're not on the deeds or any utility. So that would be the landlord, tenant would be the eviction, but it's Ejectment. It is a situation where people are living in a house that have no ties financially. Their names are not on the papers or utilities. So they're just people in his place now refused to leave. And so since they are not tied to anything to the house, then we have the Ejectment out. Yeah, Ejectment. That's what I mean. So we did go to district attorney's office. We got the paperwork, submitted. We have the police department. We have veterans affairs statement, and then we have family and neighbors statement. So those are our complaints. And then we put all the evidence as far as pictures go. Yeah, we committed all of that. And they are going to send out the shares to serve them. And they are in the process of all the utilities at the house. Oh my gosh. This is a whole thing. This is the woman who wants, this is the woman who wants to keep the house. This is the woman who has spoken out, you know, to make everybody say she speaks it out. You know, one of those things where if you speak it out in the universe, you manifest it. So she keeps saying, this is my house. You know, it's not my uncle's house. It's her house. Okay. So, and then they say she's practicing some type of witchcraft, you know, there.  They're not playing with them. You know, the Veterans Affairs, they are really, and they are telling my brother, since he didn't get her out in 30 days, now he is part of them putting him out also. And calling up adult protective services, they got them and involved in what he's gotten into. You're totally right. Here's what I'm going to say. In different states, it's called different things. I think everything you're doing is completely 100% beautiful and accurate and good. I love the way you're doing it. There's this little thing I'm not going to say a lot about it, but at some point, everybody leaves the house either to go grocery shopping, to go out to dinner. And I know it's difficult to know other people's schedules, but in some cases, some family members, once everybody's out the house, the family members would go in and grab up as much of their stuff, change the locks, put their stuff literally on the street, completely off the property. Now, I'm not recommending, wait, let me be clear here. I'm not telling anybody to do anything, but I have heard this has been done before. They go in as soon as that car drives away, they go in, they switch up those locks, they take as much of their stuff, I'll put it literally in the street. I'm not talking at the curb. I'm talking in the street, so it's completely off the property and not on anybody else's property. And call it, have a good day, ma'am. Have a good day. And then they can't get back in the house and what they're going to do, because the locks have been changed. Okay, I'm just saying, well, as soon as you understand what's being said, you're picking up what they're putting down, right? You're, you're just picking up what they're putting down. I'm just saying if that were my uncle, I'm not saying I would do that, but I have a lot of brothers that wouldn't hesitate to do that in a minute. But I'm not happy, no. That note, thank you for keeping us updated. There is going to be a victory here, I hope. And since the sheriff is already involved, love, if you do go in, if somebody would change the locks and then they call the police or the sheriff, they would say, you don't live here. You just, you don't live here. What, what are you talking about? I've got paperwork that says you do not live here. Bye-bye. Bye-bye. Okay, we can do things like, we can be nice until we are smart.  Anyway, that's what I have for you, love. I hope. And again, thank you so much, Tony. You are welcome. You have an absolutely amazing day, okay? You as well. Thank you. I love you. Love you too, sweetie. Have a good day, sweet girl. Thank you. Okay, you guys. Again, that is not me advising them what to do. I'm just saying what some people might do just, you know, like Scrappy Doo, just saying, just saying. Okay, gonna go, gonna go to 630630. What's your name and where are you calling from? Hey, Tony calling from Illinois. It's Lisa. How are you today? Hey, Lisa, I'm doing amazing. How can I help you today? Good. I love your singing as usual. I think it always makes me smile. Thank you. So, keep on singing every time. Cheers to that. Sorry, I said cheers. Did you hear me okay? I can. I'm so sorry. I said cheers. Did you hear me? I can. How can I help you, love? Tony, what do you see with a move for me this year? I'm looking for a property. So far, no luck because of what's going on with the market. I'm supposed to get a car shortly, so it'll make it easier. But I just wonder what you see with it. Okay, the first thing. I know. I'm a little frustrated. Yeah, it is. The market is really frustrating and I kind of feel like I know what's going on with the market. But so we are supposed to be flooded with foreclosures and such right now. But what's happened is mortgage companies and real estate companies have started their own rental properties and BlackRock. And if you know who BlackRock is, enough said, they're going in and buying blocks of properties and anything that comes. So we're just not getting the properties. The properties are there. They're just not coming onto the market. I do feel though for you in August, September is going to be the time. Keep looking until then. But August, September is going to be the time that you are going to find the property. I'm also going to recommend if this is for you or somebody else listening, go to sheriff's auctions. Look at the listings in sheriff's auctions and see if something doesn't pop there. There might be something that comes up there. And remember sheriff's auctions are people who like city auctions are people maybe who didn't pay their taxes. So the mortgage companies don't necessarily have the opportunity to repossess the homes. And also like anybody who was like breaking the law kind of their homes. Like, you know, those dealers and stuff. Their homes, when they get arrested, all of their property goes to sheriff's auctions. That's cars, that's homes, that's everything. Businesses. So for whoever this is for, whether it's for you, my beautiful friend or somebody else listening, look at the sheriff's auctions in the area that you want to be in and the city auctions in the areas that you want to be in. Become familiar with them and see if something doesn't pop there. I'm also going to say, I'm also going to say August, September is when you are going to find the property that you are looking for. But do not overbid or go over budget on this property. The property that you are looking for is going to be well within your means, okay? Because, you know, seeing things come up that were more and I said to myself, I just can't do that, you know what I mean? Because I'm buying first and then I'm selling. It's interesting you're saying that. And it just wouldn't be a good idea since I'm retired and all this stuff, you know?  Do you think that the properties that I own will sell okay? I'm going to first buy and then move in and then sell and then pay to sell, you know? You know what? Your property is going to sell so quickly, you're barely going to have it on the market and it's going to be getting offers, okay? And again, it goes back to there's just not a lot of inventory out there right now. Right around June, I feel like there's going to be more inventory but right now, um, you know, just keep looking and see what you come up with, okay? Yep.  I can't do that, I just can't. And then also, you know, wait till the right property comes along hopefully. But I just don't know, I just feel very kind of sad in a way because I feel like I've looked on and off for a long time and I just don't know why it's kind of worked out for me. But I guess it wasn't the right time, you know? I couldn't have did on one, I lost it. Another one something really bad happened and I wasn't able to move to that point. Yeah. So here's my, what we want doesn't always come when we want it. So patience, if we can be patient, we can get everything we want at the time that's right. So just be patient and you're going to be amazed what can show up for you, okay? Okay, thank you Ms. Conning. You are so welcome. You have an amazing rest of the day, okay love? Yeah, you too. Thank you. Thank you, thank you. Okay, I'm going to 203, you are next. I'm going to go to the chat though, and I'm going to answer a couple of things on the chat. Let's see, Kavita, I hate Kavita. It's your birthday. Everybody say happy birthday to Kavita. Happy birthday Kavita. It's her birthday week. So I would love a reading about love and travel. Thank you. Well Kavita, what I can say to you is you are going to be making many, many holidays or vacations throughout different times of this year, like every three or four months you're going to be going someplace. I hear Spain is a potential, a potential landing for you, like you potentially could end up in Spain. If that does come up seriously consider it, there might be something there for you. And then as far as love goes, as soon as you are ready, it's going to happen. Now if we think, and I'm going to say this, and I've been in this spot, so Kavita, I get this 100%, if we are in a spot, male, female, whomever, where we think we're just not ready for love, like we need to heal, or we need to do this, or we need to be at a certain financial point, that right person could be right in front of us and we won't allow it to work, or if it just won't work because we are not ready. As soon as we are ready, as soon as we know we are perfect as we are, we don't need to heal, we don't need more, we are it. Then that person will show up and can start. And for you Kavita, one of the things is you have things that you consider, I need to fix this first, I need to do this first, I wish I was like this, but essentially they are excuses and you need to, and I get them, I get that, that's just a fear of relationships for you, everybody listening, everybody re-listening, watching, re-watching, all fear with relationships have been healed, cleared and released, and I get a no, so we're going to heal, clear, release that, holy guacamole. Okay Kavita, happy birthday, I hope that's helpful for you, two zero three, what's your name and where are you calling from? Alrighty, we are going to go to nine one four, nine one four, what's your name, where are you calling from? Hi my name is Katherine, I'm calling from New York. Hey Katherine, how can I help you today? Thank you because something you said, you said to me practically verbatim as how you had said to me once, so I have to thank you first of all, you're amazing. Thank you, I appreciate that, it all comes from above, I would love to take credit but it comes through me for you and I'm so happy that it did, I'm really grateful that it did, how can I help you? Thank you, yes, glory to God, I understand, thank you. I'm looking to do an event in June and I haven't settled in on the venue as of yet. There's one venue I'm looking at, the property manager's name is Laura and another venue that I'm looking at the property's venue's name is Gia, so it's just wondering if you can see it either one of these places is the right location or do I keep looking? Okay, I feel like Gia is stronger than Laura but I would say there's another venue coming in that might be really really good for you, it might have a little bit more of what you're looking for, so as of right now Gia would be the most positive one, however I do feel like there's another one coming in, okay? One that I don't know of yet, one that I haven't come across. Yeah, one that you're not quite aware of yet and I feel like I don't know why I keep hearing the word financial, financial, so maybe this next venue might be more, financially it will work out for you better whether that means more people you make more on it or it costs less or both. Okay, I love you guys so stinking much, go make miracles, please go make some miracles in your life, until next time have an absolutely amazing
