A round-dodge city and in the territory on West, there's just one way to handle the killers and the spoilers, and that's with a U.S. Marshal and the smell of gun smoke. Gun smoke, starring William Conrad, the story of the violence that moved West with Young America, and the story of a man who moved with it. I'm that man, Matt Dillon, United States Marshal, the first man they look for and the last they want to meet. It's a chantsy job, and it makes a man watchful, and a little lonely. Today you're green, those who think Young say Pepsi please. They pick the right one, the modern light one. Now it's Pepsi. For those who think Young, so go ahead and pick the drink that lets you drink, Young as you think. Yes, get the right one. The modern light one. Now it's Pepsi. For those who think Young. It's a 10 days business. Oh, oh, yes sir, what can I do for you? No, I'd like a room. Oh, yes sir. I have a nice one, second floor, if you would just sign the register. Yeah, all right. There, that's fine. I didn't mean to sound out of sorts. That's quite all right. I thought it was one of them cowhands pestering for something again. Can you tell me where I can find Dr. Adams? Doc Adams? Well, sure. Oh, say, I sure hope you ain't alien. No, no, I feel fine. Yeah, that's good.  Can you direct me to his office? Oh, yes sir, I certainly can. Now you go down to the end of the block, across the street, up the stairs, on the side of the building. There's a sign. Dr. C. Adams, it says. Yes, thank you. Now if you'll see that my bag is taken up to my room. Oh, certainly we'll do that, Mr. Webber. Dr. Webber. Oh, good day. Yes, certainly Dr. Webber. Now, there's a man that looks like a doctor or to look. Give me some information. What do you want to know, Mr. Webber? I'm looking for Dr. Adams. That's his office up there? Yes, I've just been there, but he isn't in. He ain't, huh? I was hoping you might know where I could find him. I ain't got no use for a doctor. Oh, I see. Well, in that case... We looked in the long branch. The long branch? Saloon, down the street there. Oh, no, no, I haven't. Doctors likely to be there as anywhere else. He spends a lot of time there. I see. What's your blinds? Must be a slow day in Dodge to get both of you in here in the middle of the afternoon. Yeah, don't tempt fate. Well, Kitty, you better not talk about it or the whole time my bus was. That happens every Saturday night. Well, I just assumed it didn't happen on a Wednesday. Me too, man.  Maybe we could get Kitty to stop selling whiskey, Doc. Well, that might quiet things down a little bit. But how about that, Kitty? Well, if you two would guarantee to support me for the rest of my life, I'd... Are you looking for somebody, mister? Yes, I am looking for Dr. Adams. Well, I'm Dr. Adams. Well, how do you do? My name is Weber. Dr. William Weber. Oh, please meet you. This is Kitty Russell. Russell. Oh, Doc. This is Marshall Dillon. Marshall, Doctor. Um, would you care to sit down, Dr. Weber? Well, thank you, Miss Russell. Actually, I have come to talk business with Dr. Adams. Oh, well, in that case, Doctor, we'll leave the table to you. Don't win that. Well, sure. Oh, please. No, I didn't mean to. Oh, we'd be glad to. Now, just wait a minute, Kitty. I have an office of my own. Yeah, you do it that. And I can conduct my business affairs there. So, you will just come with me, Dr. Weber. Certainly, Dr. Adams. Good day, Miss Russell. Marshall. Bye. Good day, Doc. Doc, now I'm kind of happy to meet you. Ah, he's not happy, Kitty. It's his professional pride. He doesn't often get a chance to show it. And then, we're going to convey word of the day's events with speed, accuracy and objectivity. That's the reputation gained by CBS Newsmen through many years of bringing the news to CBS radio listeners from coast to coast. Today, as for decades, you're always sure of getting the news fast, first, by a CBS News on CBS Radio. Uh, sit down. Oh, here. Thank you. It's never easy to learn of an old friend's death. We doctors run into it all the time, but it's never easy. Yes, I'm sorry to bring the news, Dr. Adams, but Dr. Wilson wanted it that way. You must have been very close at one time. Yes, yes, very close. I mean, I went through medical college together. Yes, sir. Started up in practice, and then the war came. Life has many dislocations, Dr. Weber. It does indeed. My purpose in coming here, Dr. Adams, is not merely to bring you the unhappy news of Henry Wilson's death.  And so did me. Yes, sir. Dr. Wilson wanted your help. Well, I don't know what you're getting at, Dr. Weber. It doesn't make sense. Successful man like Henry Wilson wanting help from me. It's because of his success. Well, I don't understand. Yes, well, Dr. Wilson had established a clinic in Philadelphia. Yes, I've heard of it. That's why I'm here. He wanted you to take charge of it after his death. He wanted me? He had a high professional opinion of you, Dr. Adams. We handled some interesting cases together. Very interesting. But even more than your professional ability, Dr. Wilson respected your judgment in handling people. Well, I don't understand. There are some fine young doctors at his clinic, but he felt the man in charge should be an older doctor. I'm older, all right. A man of seasoned judgment as well as professional skill. A man of varied experience. Well, a man like you, Dr. Adams. I see. It would mean a life of greatly increased medical opportunity for you. Well, at last methods, research, and it would mean a life of greater, well, comfort. That would be something, wouldn't it? After all these years, a chance to go back to practice medicines, I started out to practice it. It would be a position of considerable importance and influence, Dr. Adams. And I should think of considerable financial satisfaction. Dr. Wilson wanted to be sure the job was attractive to you. He wanted you to come. Yes. That would be something. Doc? Doc, come in, boy. It's Billy. Oh. It's his arm, Doc. Most of you is to look at it. Oh, well, sure. Sure. Come on in, Billy. Well, you won't be able to ride that new coat with a bum arm, will you? All right. Then come in. Come in. It won't hurt you none, Billy. All right, boy. Let's have a look at it. Oh, yes. Looks like you're following all that code already. That's right. Doc, he sure did. Well, we'll have to put this back together for you then, Billy. Oh, Dr. Rebel, would you mind getting some gauze and splints out of that cover over there? Well, yes. Yes, certainly. Now, let's see here, Billy. I guess the first thing to do is to get that shirt off. Here they are, Dr. Adams. Oh, thank you. All right now, Billy.  Thank you, Doc. Bye. Bye, boys. The youngster stood that very well, didn't he? Oh, they have to learn to stand things when they're young on the prairie. It's a harsh learn. You know, Dr., if you stop to think of the proposal I brought with me... I've been thinking of it. Life wouldn't be quite so harsh in Philadelphia. Though I must say, little boys break their arms there, too. Well, they always did. Yes, Dr. Weber, life would be easy. That's not what I'm thinking about the most. It's the thought of the equipment, the chance to use the latest method. If you talk things over with doctors, be here at libraries. I'd have to learn how to act, Dr. Weber. Oh, Dr. Wilson didn't worry about that. Henry was an old and faithful friend. All right, Chester, all right. Well, Doctor, the fellow that was just sprung into jail, and he'd been shot, and Mr. Dillon said for you to come. Was it bleeding bad, Chester?  I'll be right there. Hello, this is Dr. Weber, Chester. Hello, Chester. All right, Doctor. Well, I reckon I ought to get back now. Yeah, but go on, Chester. Go on. I'm coming out. Here's your bag, Dr. Adams. Oh, thank you. They could say you'd make a good assistant, Dr. Weber. Would you like to come with me? I would, indeed. You know, sometimes the gunshot wounds cause a lot of trouble, even if they don't hit a vital spot. You know, bleeding, infection.  Yeah, a gun can cause many problems. Too many, Dr. Weber. Dr. Adams! Dr. Adams! Oh, hello, Mrs. Hartman. Ah, we're just coming to see you, Doctor. We'll have to do a little later, then, Mrs. Hartman. Oh, it ain't that I need you, Dr. Adams. I just want to thank you. Why, there ain't hardly anybody who'll believe I'm up and around so soon. Oh, it's fine, fine, but we're in kind of a hurry now. And, baby, you wouldn't know there'd been a bit of trouble about him. He'd eaten like he was trying to catch up with his paul. Well, that's good, but you'll have to excuse me now. I just wanted to say a word of thanks to you, Doctor.  Sounds like a satisfied customer. Provia placenta. That was a dangerous delivery, Doctor. She's lucky. You can't very well afford to specialize, can you, Doctor? I specialize in Dodge City. Let's see about that in political order. It isn't exactly Philadelphia food, Dr. Rabbit, but it keeps us going. Oh, all doctors learn to eat when they get the chance. Though I must say our place is generally slower than yours. I just say your morning has been rather full. A broken arm, a bullet wound, a pair of tweenies.  I'm not likely to forget that. No, seriously, Doctor Adams, don't you think the practice I can offer you in Philadelphia would give you a more productive life? Yeah, I'm trying to get the time to think about it, Doctor. I can't deny that it is an interesting idea. It's very interesting. The opportunity, the opportunities for participating in medical advances would be tremendous. And I should think most satisfying. And there's something else, Doctor, that I don't wish to sound presumptuous. Oh, don't you worry about it. I know. I'm getting older. It's just that life might be easy. It's Mary. She's fainted dead away. I can't rouse her. Where is she? She's out to the place. I had a ride to get you. All right, Tom, go on back to her and I'll come. Right away, Doctor? Right away.  Certainly not. I don't want to miss any of this. So, athletes' foot grow down here, down under the skin surface. But NP-27 treatment penetrates down where other remedies can't reach. Roots out athletes' foot, even penetrates into toenails. NP-27 stops itch, relieves pain, promotes growth of healthy skin, guards against new infection. NP-27 treatment roots out athletes' foot. Or your drugist will refund your money. Get NP-27 treatment. Oh, Doctor.  She's, uh, roused some, but it hurts her awful bad. All right, Tom. Oh, this is Dr. Webber from Philadelphia. Hello. Can we look at it together? Hello, Tom. Doctor? Yes, Tom. You sure this follows a good doctor? I'm sure he is, Tom. Let's go. Is she as good as you are, Doc? Well, most people say it was better. I'd want to be sure before he came, Mary. You can be sure. Okay. I'll tell her you're here. Thanks for your recommendation, Doctor. The man wouldn't get far without it. Oh, they just know me. In here, Doc. Hello, Mary. This is Dr. Webber. Doc. Doc. Can you help me? If you'll let me. Mmm. That operation? I told you, Mary. You should have had it before. It's the only chance you've got. Tom? I can't say no again, Mary. You just took too bad. You go ahead, Doc. Will you assist me, Dr. Webber? I'd be proud to, Dr. Adams. Dr. Adams. Dr. Adams. Oh, I'm sorry. I was thinking. I wondered if you'd noticed me. Well, it looks to me like, uh, like I get an Indian waiting there by the road. Oh, yes. Yes, I see him. Well, I guess the best way is to pay no attention to him, isn't it? Uh-oh. No, no. No, Dr. Adams. Yeah, he wants to talk to me. Well, are you sure you should? Well, hello, strong bird. I bring robe. That is a fine robe, strong bird.  The robe is for my son's eyes. You didn't need to bring a gift, strong bird. I was glad to help you. Why, Dr., bring sight back to sun. Strong bird, bring thanks from his people. Well, you tell your people that they're welcome. I thank them for the robe. Yeah, strong bird, go. Dr. Webber, can you hold this robe for me? Mm-hmm. Oh, yes, certainly. Yes, yes, certainly. Yep, yep, yep. Dr. Adams, you treat Indians too? Well, only when they let me, Dr. Webber. Only when they let me. Dr. Adams. Yes? We have a lot of things to offer you in Philadelphia, but I was wrong about one thing. We can't offer you more variety. I have seen some astounding things today. I just watched you perform a delicate and dangerous operation under the crudest circumstances, and perform it with as much skill as though you had the latest equipment. Well, you learned to use what you've got, Dr. Webber. And I've seen you receive thanks from a wild Indian. Oh, Indians of people? You know, I wasn't so sure at first, Dr. Adams, but now I know. We would be very lucky to have you in Philadelphia. If you feel you can come. Well, I'd like to come, but... But you're not coming, are you? No, I guess I'm not. A man has to stay where he's needed. I haven't made much of a mark in medicine. Then maybe I'd have more of a chance of that, but... But I'm needed here, Dr. Webber. I'm needed here. And you understand that? I can understand it, Dr. Adams. And I can even end you. Here's your bag, Dr. Webber. Thank you. And here's a payment for my bill. Thank you, sir. I hope you had a pleasant stay in Dodge City. Oh, yes, yes, indeed. It was certainly a pleasure having a man like you visit us. I hope you'll come again. Thank you. We don't get a chance to see a fine doctor in Dodge very often. Oh, yes, you do, Mr. Dobie. Yes, you do. Every day. Proud we are of being the CBS Radio Network to be able to bring you on this station each weekday the songs of Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney.

One of the dire consequences of the cultural norming of transgenderism is the treatment of children who express confusion about their biological sex. At younger and younger ages, they are being encouraged to take part in what are called transition-affirming treatments that may be emotionally and physically damaging and in some cases irreversible. The evidence suggests that advocates of such treatments are more committed to a politically correct agenda than to science or what is ultimately good for children. Because when it comes to children, here are three key facts those promoting the transgender agenda ignore. Number one, despite what you often hear, scientific evidence shows people are not born trapped in the body of the wrong sex. If transgenderism were biological, then studies of identical twins should prove that. Instead, they showed just the opposite. In a 2013 study of transgender twins, the largest of its kind, only 28% of the time did both identical twins who contain 100% of the same DNA and are exposed to the same prenatal hormones identify as transgender. That means that over 70% of the time, what contributed to one of the twins deciding they were the opposite sex of what they were born had nothing to do with biology. Number two, after passing through puberty, the majority of young children who originally expressed distress and confusion about their biological sex outgrew it. We're talking 75 to 95% of such children, but with the widespread push to embrace and affirm transgenderism, perhaps it shouldn't be surprising that more children are questioning their gender. In the United Kingdom, for example, a government-affiliated health service dealing in gender identity issues for those under the age of 18 experienced a 2,000% increase in patient referrals since 2009. For children under the age of six, the referrals have increased by over 400%. Number three, medical treatments often used to treat children with gender dysphoria have not been proven safe. Serious questions remain, including whether such treatments may cause obesity and testicular cancer in males and decreased bone and muscle growth and infertility in both sexes. No rigorous scientific studies exist to show the long-term physical or psychological effects of puberty blockers and cross-sex hormone treatments on normally developing children. None. The rush by the media, cultural elites and politically-correct medical organizations to normalize and embrace transgenderism has no time for fact-finding. So much for science and so much for having the best interest of children at heart. Parents, beware. Aren't those numbers staggering? The study showed a 2,000% increase of patient referrals for people under the age of 18 questioning their gender. And for those under the age of six, the referrals have increased by 400%. That's not some crazy biological change sweeping through the land. That is societal changes. A number of factors are contributing to the increase of the number of children and teens who are struggling to accept their sex, or what the world now calls gender. And the evidence suggests that transgender identities are heavily influenced by social contagion, mental health issues, popular culture, and current trends in medical treatment, so readily available. Young people are often exposed to transgender ideas on social media or websites like YouTube, TikTok, Tumblr. They feature, but especially YouTube. You guys, be watchful of that YouTube. They find thousands of very popular videos of teens documenting their hormonal and surgical transformation. They even teach the kids how to pick out a new name, step by step. Parents of trans-identified kids reported a recent study that YouTube and Tumblr and TikTok acted as a powerful influence on their child and that their child had increased their use of social media just before announcing their new trans identity. So when I speak to parents and they tell me that their child, seemingly out of the blue, just told them they're transgender and they're identifying as the opposite sex, I'll ask this parent two questions. Well, three, how old are they? And if the child is between the ages of 11 and 20, I ask them two questions. Do they watch anime and are they on the spectrum? 95% of the time, the parents say, yes, they watch anime. How did you know? And then for me, personally, in my own situations, between 30% and 40% of the time, their child is somewhere on the spectrum. Young people with autism or autistic traits and ADHD are over-represented at gender clinics. Nine large-scale studies have found, almost without exception, rates of autism or autistic traits range from 5% to 54% among those with gender dysphoria significantly higher among the general population. And we can dig more into that, why I think that is when we have times of Q and A. So it's estimated that roughly one to 2% of the general population meets the criteria of autism. And then similarly, studies suggest that children with ADHD are six to seven times more likely to present with gender dysphoria than children without ADHD. Brothers and sisters, this should break our hearts so much that it actually drops us to our knees in prayer daily. This is our kids. And hasn't Satan since the beginning been trying to attack and keep this perfect victory of God from happening, which he can't, but he keeps trying. That's just idiocity. But he's always attacking our children because when you get the kids, you get a whole generation. We need to pray that the Lord would bring victory over the deception that our children are being inundated with in society and especially schools. So I'm just gonna share with you today briefly about my gender confusion, which eventually became severe dysphoria so that you can hear it from a personal account and that you will know that I understand it when I share some of what I share. I'll explain some definitions or terms so you won't feel lost in the conversation and it's this much of this many terms that I'll be sharing. And I'll share what the Bible has to say about gender or what we used to call sex until just recently and I'm sure most of you know that so I'll keep that brief. And then I'll provide biblical ways for us to walk alongside those who have gender confusion. And then I'll share some helpful ways to deal with this phenomenon that's happening in our schools. That part gets me really upset. So I just wanna start with a question. I wanna get personal with you. I'm getting personal, you guys gotta get personal too in your hearts.  Have you ever felt like your mind doesn't declare what your body says? I can tell you firsthand it is a horrible, horrible feeling and yet it's a very real feeling and it doesn't just poof go away even when you come to the Lord. For me it took years. It's devastating and it goes so deep. It's actually the core of your identity. It's the very place Satan wants to place seeds of deception because our heart is always receiving seeds, seeds of truth or seeds of deception and whatever gets water grows. And we have to be careful when we plant those seeds or someone else plants those seeds and we water that we do it with a gentle little watering thing and not a fire hose.  So because I looked and acted the way I did when I was little others tried to give me an identity and it was one that stuck because I felt like what they were declaring about me like words I would hear concerning myself were boy, son, tomboy then eventually a lesbo and fag because they wanted to call me lesbian but they saw me as a boy so then they just started calling me fag. I mean it was all these names being directed on me so that when I became an adult I started my own self-proclaimed identity of gay, gender nonconformed, butch, dyke, dude, poppy this is how I would self identify. When I was eight years old it was 1974 not much talk was being declared across the land concerning gender back then.  My mom took me to the doctor and said hey my daughter thinks she's a boy what do I do? And the doctor's like ah don't worry about it she'll grow out of it and make a fine wife someday. Well I didn't grow out of it like the 85 to 90% 85 to 95% of children do once they make it through puberty. I literally thought that I was a boy not in a tomboy kind of way my brain every thought that went through my brain was what I thought going through the brain of a boy. So when I realized I wasn't a boy because of my anatomy I became very angry and confused very. I didn't know how to deal with this. I hated my girl body I hated it so much so I started to self-injure at five years old. I did everything I could to mar this body that seemed to be lying to me and then as I got a little bit older just maybe a little pre-puberty or during puberty is when I realized I was really attracted to girls and that confused me as well because I knew girls liking girls was wrong but yet I felt like a boy so was it really wrong? It's very confusing. I wanted to date girls and take on the masculine identity but I actually never did that back then because of the abuse of ridicule I knew I would have endured. And I had another I had enough abuse going on and I couldn't handle anymore. So I was very, very isolated and alone. There wasn't internet back there. The young man that shared, no, the gentleman, the pastor I think the high school youth pastor shared last night he was thankful that there wasn't internet back then. Me too.  How do you know you're trans? Because a plethora of information would have come up and 95% of it would have been lies but I would have believed it because it would have met me right there in my feelings and that's what's happening to our kids. So because I was isolated and alone and I needed help I started drinking and doing drugs at 12 years old. Heavily, heavily sedating myself so that by the time I was probably 15, 16 I was a drug addicted alcoholic. I tried dating someone after I got out of high school thinking that would help things. I figured that's what society and my family expected of me and so I at 18 years old entered into a relationship with the man hoping that it would take all my sexual attraction and gender issues away but it didn't, it actually made it worse. So I came out of the closet and started identifying as a gay gender non-conformed person. I noticed I said person, not woman. I didn't identify as a woman even though sometimes I use the word lesbian. It's very hard to navigate yourself when you're living a false identity but it didn't feel false to me at the time. I didn't know how to be a woman nor did I want to be. Yet I didn't fully take on the male identity either even though I leaned more toward the masculine and that's why I identified as gender non-conformed. I never felt like a woman even when I had been intimate with a man who made me feel more gender dysphoric. I was jealous of his body with him that were mine. And I say that not to share too much but I say it's you know that pointing your kids to opposite sex relationships isn't what's going to cure them of their same sex attraction or gender dysphoria, please don't do that. Finding the deep rooted issues and the deep rooted pain and deception is what's going to bring clarity and healing. So now I was part of the LGBT community and I felt a sense of freedom to be whoever I wanted to be but was I free? What actually makes someone free is freedom constituted by what someone feels or could that possibly be a delusion? Doesn't it feel like we're in the second Thessalonians chapter two, strong delusion days? My feelings were deceiving me and yet I thought they were true but that's how deception works, right? It wasn't until years later that I got saved when I realized how big of a role deception had on my life, it was crazy. And I'm so thankful the Lord saved me when he did in such a powerful way and then the Lord showed me why I had gender confusion. I had a distorted perception of how men treated women partly because of my parents' relationship. And this isn't me throwing my parents under the bus. It's just my story, I can't get away from it so I share it.  He thought it was funny. I thought it was true because my dad was speaking those words. So because of that, I believed all women were crazy and weak and worthless. The very words I heard my dad speak over my mother.  I wanted to be strong and powerful and in control which I thought being a boy or a man would bring me. Brothers and sisters, do you see the impact those words I heard in my home had on my life? Please be mindful of what you say and how you say it and especially in front of children. Even when you're talking about like for the past four years or whatever, time-wise how often we were talking about the presidential election and we maybe had the TV on or maybe some of us were saying, I can't stand the president we have now. He's such a misogynist. Mommy, what's a misogynist? Oh, it's where men overpower women or men that believe women shouldn't get paid as much. And so like sometimes our kids can hear us saying things like our little girls can be like, wait, I hear my mom talking to her friend on the phone saying what it stinks that I don't get paid as much as a man. And then that little girl, that's just a little seated deception. Like, well, I don't wanna grow up and be paid less. I don't wanna be looked down upon.  And it's right there, right there, easy access. I was also being sexually violated and thought that that was only happening to me because I actually had a female body. I didn't understand. I was very, very little. I desired to have male body parts to protect me from the violation. There was deep seated reasons for my gender confusion. And so that's just a blip of my testimony. If you'd like to hear my full testimony, I have a table, a resource table somewhere. I think it's out that way with different, I have CDs and DVDs, remember those? I have those available out there and just we can help point you to my website out there and you can listen to my full testimony there. So now that you know a little bit about me, I want to dig in. I wanna make sure that you understand what I'm saying. So I'm just briefly gonna start with some terms that I've already used or that I'm going to introduce. And LGBT, it's just simply an acronym, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender. It used to be LGBT until the early 90s. The T was added then at the dismay of many of the L's. The lesbians didn't want transgender coming in and saying, look, I've worked hard to be this woman and you're coming in now, Mr. Transman and you're taking female identity. So it took a while for the T to be even comfortable in the LGBT community. Gender, now we're using the word gender instead of sex. It's very dangerous, you guys, because gender has four different definitions. It's used as a synonym for sex, the name given to sex stereotypes. It's used to describe the sociocultural and behavioral aspects of sex. And it's the name of an ideology that claims bodily sex is irrelevant to human identity and how gender has made its way in even our vocabulary when we talk about our sex.  Don't we say now, what gender are they? Or when we fill something out? Cisgender, has anyone heard the term cisgender? Maybe some younger people? It's a term mostly used within the LGBT community. It's referring to people whose assigned birth gender, their bodies, match their personal gender identity. In other words, the way God created gender, but listen for it, because you're gonna start to hear that more and more. Oh, you're cisgender, you don't understand what I'm going through. You're comfortable with your mind-body relationship. It's a dangerous word for Christians because it denotes that there are others that aren't cisgender, that can have a personal gender identity outside of how God created them. It's a word the LGBT community created and you're gonna start to hear it more. It's a very dangerous place that we've moved into to make sex, to replace gender as a descriptor instead of sex. Transgender is just a term that refers to people who wish to determine their identity based on their feelings instead of their sex. Gender dysphoria is when a person experiences significant distress or problems functioning associated with the conflict between the way they feel and think of themselves and their assigned sex, assigned gender. And you heard me use the word gender nonconformed when identifying my former self and this along with non-binary are terms describing self-expression that differs from the stereotypical norms for the sexes. And then just real quick, gender fluid. Guys have probably heard that, right? Fluid is the new word. Everything can be fluid now, except us. Gender fluid describes the nature of gender identity as a subjective, remember that word, as a subjective state of mind that can fluctuate on the spectrum in the same way feelings can. Feelings are dynamic in adults, but in children they're even more likely to shift and are easily influenced by peers and their social environment. So our children are really the ones grasping the term gender fluid because they're so moved by their feelings. And if the Lord didn't deliver me out of my place of pain and deception, I'm sure I would have eventually come to actually fully identify as transgender because I was right there anyways, but God. I love the but God's, right? So I had a deep need to be accepted and I think that's one of the reasons I didn't fully transition back then because there wasn't the acceptance that there is now and that's one of the reasons this acceptance of why we're seeing the numbers of people who identify increase. So I chose gender non-conform because I didn't identify in the feminine but I didn't fully identify as a man in the sense of taking hormone shots and stuff. I felt genderless in a sense. I wasn't conformed to society's description of either gender. However, my outward appearance as well as my inner feelings and mannerisms were all very masculine. Even my voice was deeper because I taught it how. So this left me wide open to be verbally ridiculed and to be looked at with twisted faces of disgust and uncomfortable when using public bathrooms. Countless numbers of times I'd be, I'd walk into the women's bathroom, walk in just to use the bathroom. I'd walk in and people would, the women would look at me like, dude, why are you in here? And then sometimes I would just go into a stall and then sometimes I would undo that deep voice that I created for myself and use the girl voice and just say like, hey, what's up? To let them know that I was a woman so that they wouldn't be uncomfortable. Or I'd be washing my hands and a woman would walk in, walk in and see me go, oh, and then walk back out, look at the door, see ladies and then kind of do one of these. And then instead of walking by me this way, they'd kind of go like this to get in their stall. That left me feeling so ashamed, so ashamed. I had no control over what I was feeling and experiencing. It was the manifestation of pain that I was showing on the outward. This pain on the inside was manifesting itself on the outside and people were scared of me because of that. I just wanted to use the bathroom. I share that with you to let you know I wasn't some deviant, I was just not knowing what to do. I was just trying to get by in the day to day. And that's where a lot of people are that we might know in our lives.  It was only after repenting and believing and receiving the free gift of salvation through Jesus Christ that I was able to understand where my gender dysphoria came from and even in that it took years. I want you to hear this, you guys. I had to allow the Lord to take me back to where it began. Sometimes you have to look backwards to move forwards. Sometimes you have to look backwards to move forwards. So as I was growing in my relationship with the Lord, he began to reveal to me how much damage different types of trauma had on me and how that led me to a false proclaimed identity. So I have a Native American heritage and we know that many tribes were able to track people to see where they had been, where they had walked to get an indication of where they were headed. The Lord took me on a journey and allowed me to see how the tracks or footsteps of my childhood pain put me on a track of deception. If you don't recognize how your past steps were off the path, you won't realize why you're not on the right path now. Even as a Christian. So the Lord is intentional with his creation. We know that, right? And his intentions are good. God's intentions are always good. He created us male and female with a specific intention to bring forth more life created in his image which brings him glory. So as I was asking God where my same sex attraction came from, he began showing me how my perception of certain events in my childhood led me to be deceived, even in my feelings and attractions. Or I should say especially, especially in my feelings and therefore attractions. So with that, we need to pray and ask the Lord where our child has been hurt, broken or deceived. And it's not always easy as a parent to hear the answer. But we have to, for the sake of our child, pray and fast and ask the Lord to reveal to you where your child has been hurt, broken or deceived. And you might know already some of it but there's probably stuff that you don't know. Sometimes it's emotional, physical or sexual trauma. Sometimes it's mental health issues. Sometimes it's peer influence and it's always, always, if I was texting, I would put in all caps, always. Rejection, whether it's real or perceived. So we know how God created us, male and female and we see the creation account in Genesis chapter one and we are part of that creation. God created all things and he has the authority over everything including us and he should because he is the creator. Genesis one 26 through 28 says, then God said, let us make man in our image according to our likeness, let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, over the cattle and over all the earth, over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth. So God created man in his own image in the image of God he created him, male and female, he created them. Again, Genesis five two says, he created them male and female and blessed them and called them mankind in the day they were created. It's a very, very clear in God's word, the entirety of God's word that there's only male and female and he has a plan and a purpose for those whom he created in his own image and likeness. The Bible is written with a heterosexual male and female specific narrative and nothing else. The only time the Bible talks about sex outside of male and female being together where whether it's the godly marital kind or the we read about rape a lot in the Bible. But even that's male and female. Everything is male and female in the Bible only. There's nothing more and nothing less.  There's never any other gender talked about other than male or female. Gender is not fluid and we don't get to pick it according to our feelings regardless of how dysphoric those feelings may be. And this is important because this is a new cultural language that has been used within the LGBT community but now we are being brought into this type of language as well. We are not born with orientations such as a sexual orientation or a gender orientation. It's a new cultural concept and it is a lie. Orient or orientation means to adjust with relation to or bring into due relation to surroundings, circumstances, facts or feelings. Another definition describes it this way. The determination of the relative position of something or someone's especially oneself. We don't determine our gender. It isn't an orientation. It's God given as he's knitting us together in our mother's womb. We cannot skew objective thinking with subjective thinking when it comes to God and creation. An objective perspective is one that's not influenced by emotions or opinions or personal feelings. It's a perspective based in fact. Things quantifiable and things measurable. That's objective. Subjective is a perspective that is open to greater interpretation based on personal feelings, emotions and aesthetics. So how do we look at gender objectively and not subjectively or better yet, how do we teach our children to look at gender objectively and not subjectively and let them know there is no such thing as orientation because that's a very popular word in their young adult language. Objectively we would say that a baby born with male genitalia is male and a baby born with female genitalia and organs is female. A subjective way to identify gender would be to say that gender's not about genitalia. It's about how someone feels whether you feel male or female or any of the other identities. That's why we cannot, cannot, cannot separate sex from gender like many are trying to do in our culture.  Our bodies declare our sex. It's not something that's assigned like many trans people state. Well I was assigned female at birth but I identify as male, it's not assigned. It's God given and it's given with intention even if something horrendous has happened to your body and you want to be outside of that body because the thought of it brings so much pain and trauma God is still good. God is still good and he wants to walk you through that hurt and that pain. Our sex is determined at conception as God is knitting us together in our mother's womb. It's in our cells, it's in our DNA and it's in our chromosomes. There are over 6,500 genetic differences between a man and a woman. 6,500 genetic differences between a man and a woman. So with that, maleness isn't only anatomy but anatomy shows that a male's in the same with female anatomy. Men and women are more than just their anatomy but they are never less. So when we try to step outside of God's intent we're in essence bucking against his authority and doesn't that sound like what happened in the garden with Adam and Eve and that little nasty serpent, I can't stand him. He really did a number on my life for the first 36 years of my life. So Adam and Eve, they wanted to be like God, right? They weren't content in the way God created them. They wanted more as if God was holding something back from them. And just because they wanted to be like God or become their own God doesn't mean that was going to happen. It's outside of reality. So just because a man might desire to be a woman or vice versa doesn't mean that's going to happen regardless of taking hormones or even having sex reassignment surgery. Andrew T. Walker says this in his book and this is a really good book, God and the transgender debate. He says this, you can change your form but you can't change your formatting. In truth there is no such thing as transgender because you cannot change your gender. The word exists but not the reality it seeks to describe. And I was trying so hard to change it. I was trying so hard. And the more I was trying the more discouraged I became because I knew there was nothing I could do to be fully the man I wanted to be. I wanted to, I didn't want to have to do surgery to rearrange my body to become a man. I wanted it at birth and I was so angry that I didn't get that. So what do we do with all this? How do we live life with people who sincerely see their gender with a subjective perspective? Well the first thing we have to do is remember that we are dealing with broken, hurting people. People that were created in the image of God and he loves them exactly the same way he loves us because God shows no partiality. We have to remember how dirty and nasty we were when we were wallowing in our sin because there's really, even if you were a very moral person because there's a lot of moral people in hell right now because they didn't accept the free gift of Jesus Christ. So I found in my own life that when I experienced I had experiencing something that I knew was obviously wrong like the same sex attraction or gender confusion that I had but I didn't know what to do with it. I felt shame and confusion and that always makes us run from God, right? Even though I didn't know him because nobody took the time to tell me the truth. But if we look at Adam and Eve that when they sinned against God in the garden the first emotion they experienced was shame. Shame of their nakedness so they hid from God or they ran from him. So whether you have gender dysphoria or some other type dysphoria and dysphoria simply means a state of unease or dissatisfaction with an aspect of your life. If you don't cling to the one who renews your life, Jesus, you'll always be running from God and you'll always be in a state of shame. And that's where the depression and the suicidal ideation comes from. And if somebody would remind me during the Q and A to talk about depression and suicide I would love to share more about that. So somebody type it in or something if you wouldn't mind please. And when we run from God our only hope is to take matters into our own hands. And that's what I did for years. And that's what transgender people do. They want freedom from their dysphoria because it is a horrendous feeling. They want freedom from their deep dissatisfaction and believe the only way to that freedom is through identifying in the opposite sex that their bodies declare they are. And they go to really big means to get there. And the suicide rate for those after they transition even after surgery is even higher than those from before transitioning because the dysphoria is still there. It may be relieved for a while the first year or two but then it comes back because they realize I've totally changed my whole life. And I still have it because it's a heart issue.  They just get their testosterone shots or their estrogen shots and go on their way. So we need to have compassion. And if we keep in mind that we're all the same with just different manifestations of how our own symptoms are, manifestations of how our own sin plays out from our hurts and pain and even our pride, we will then have a heart of compassion for those who are still caught in their sin. We have to point people to Jesus. We have to point people to Jesus to the cross of redemption. Listen, we have to point people there. We will not win people by arguing over their feelings. Never. It's a ridiculous thought to even have. But what we can do is we can be compassionate. Listen, being compassionate doesn't mean you're agreeing with someone living in sin.  Colossians 3, 12 through 14 says, Therefore as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long suffering, bearing with one another and forgiving one another. And if anyone has a complaint against another, even as Christ forgave you, so you also must do. But above all things, put on love. It's the bond of perfection. You want to look perfect? Because we transition sometimes too, right? We get breast augmentations. We tattoo eyebrows on our face. We get our lips injected because we don't like what we see in the mirror, right? You want to look in the mirror and see someone that's perfect? Put on love. It's the bond of perfection. Also in Colossians 3, verses 5 and 6, it says, Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time or making the most of the time that you have before you. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. So these verses tell us to be tender and kind and humble, long-suffering, peaceable, gentle, and loving with the speech that's full of grace. And what happens when we do that? Why would God call us to do that? Well, 2 Timothy 2, 24 through 26 tells us how we are to treat people and it tells us why God calls us to be gentle and humble. A servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient, in humility, correcting those who are in opposition. So there's the how, there's the how we're supposed to be. And here comes the why. If God perhaps will grant them repentance so that they may know the truth and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil having been taken captive by him to do his will. We can't just tell people, what you're doing is wrong or what you're feeling is wrong and then expect them to change and no longer have these deep-seated issues. We can't expect people who don't know Jesus to act the way the Bible says to. It's hard enough for us to do that and we have the spirit of the living God inside of us. They need to hear the gospel. It's the gospel that changes a person and makes them a new creation in Christ Jesus. They need to be ministered to both grace and truth. So how do you share the gospel with someone that seems so far away from it? I believe the first step is just taking the time to get to know someone. Be personal, like Jesus, like he was with the woman at the well. But at that, at that same time being compassionate doesn't mean we keep silent. It would not be compassionate to keep silent about the truth just so that you can show grace. Pastor David Whiting says this about grace and truth and I love this quote.   My generation, it was truth only. Big truth bombs, bam, truth, truth, truth.  And then those kids went to school and people started coming out more and they're like, wait, these people that I've met in high school or in college, they're really neat people. They're actually the only people, maybe it's high school. Okay, guy, he's the only one who'll actually sit with me at lunch and have a conversation with me. These are really nice people. So they became, the millennials became the grace only generation, right? A lot of progressive Christianity is for that age group. So it's all grace, grace, grace and well, truth is relative. So I'm confident that your kids, this next generation, is gonna be the perfect combo of both grace and truth because John 1.14 says that Jesus was filled with both grace and truth. And if he was filled with grace and truth, we can be too because we have the spirit of the living God inside of us and we have the word of God. We have everything we need to be filled with grace and truth. And if you don't start with grace, they're not gonna be willing to hear the truth. Doesn't say he was filled with truth and grace. It says he was filled with grace and truth. So what do we do in our schools and in our workplaces? And we see this obvious push toward the world welcoming and even more so now promoting the acceptance of all things transgender. First and foremost, I believe we have to meet this with prayer and fasting because this is a spiritual battle.  I believe that I don't understand eschatology wise, the second Thessalonians chapter two where it does talk about God's gonna send strong delusion. But the way we're thinking now is nothing short of delusional that when a baby's born, you don't write down their sex now gender.  That doctors are coming and saying this, they're medical. They know the body. They know anatomy. They know biology. And they're like, yeah, yeah, let your kid pick it themselves when they get old enough. Delusional. Second Thessalonians also talks about that they didn't, they were believing the lie because they didn't have a love for the truth. Look it up yourselves. Doesn't say they didn't know the truth because a lot of people in the LGBT community were raised in the church. So they know the truth. But second Thessalonians chapter two says they didn't have a love for the truth. And I believe that's where we are now. So we have to deal with this with prayer and fasting. I think a lot of us have moved away from fasting, not because we're not spiritual enough, but just because we have access to food so easily now and we have a lot of cravings and the things we eat with all the junk that's in it makes us want bad food even more. Even I'm saved 18 years now. When I first got saved, I fasted all the time. And I've seen through the years how that's kind of dwindled away because racy peanut butter cups are really good, you know, or whatever it might be. We need to get back to prayer and fasting. The enemy of our souls is trying to disfigure the very essence of how God created us. And there's no way to make sense of this what's happening in our culture unless it was spiritual. We remember those statistics in the video, right? Those numbers are staggering, staggering. So privately in our own homes as well as with other believers, we have to handle this with fervent prayer. But when we're not with believers, I think we need to handle it with objective reasoning and not religion when we're dealing with our schools and workplaces. Because once we bring God into the conversation, people stop listening and begin judging us as bigoted hypocrites. And that gets us nowhere. So use in your home use that subjective reasoning we'll say in our homes be praying and fasting and in the open square use objective reasoning. Because of what's happening in our schools, the things public schools are teaching, in the name of sex education or health class or whatever it's called now is morally and sexually abusive.  And it needs to be addressed as that children are being sexually frightened or sexually aroused.  Now we get 400 kids in one building and teach them this junk in the name of curriculum and it's now it's 400 kids in the same building being sexually abused at the same time. From the pit of hell. And because our school administrations are saying that these classes are board approved and state approved parents feel silenced. But we will not be silenced. We have to fight, fight, fight this. Your kids are being abused. Prayer, fasting and fighting. And when we go to the school we fight it with objective reasoning and we can maybe talk about that in the Q&A. So when your child comes home from school check their backpack and their computer tell them you want to see every handout even though they probably don't do handouts anymore. Every piece of homework that they have or what they learn that day however you need to access that from them tell them you need to see it. High school and middle school children are being given material that's nothing short of pornography with pictures and they have to study it and even be tested on it. Some schools use including elementary schools. This material it's either the gender bred person or the gender unicorn to show children what gender is by using a child like diagram and it shows gender coming from the brain and heart and not from the genitalia and they're learning it in school so they're going to believe it and whatever your kids hear first is what they believe. So you have to be the one to start the conversation maybe even before they go to kindergarten or at least first grade because they might go to kindergarten and their best friend might be Billy and when they get to first grade Billy might be like hi my name is Susie now we have to have the conversations I'm sorry I'm sorry you guys have to have these conversations when they get home and they're going to tell you what material they've been exposed to because they're overwhelmed because of that they keep silent out of fear and that's your child. Let your child ask questions without them seeing fear on your face. That's really, really important. And you might be the one that has to initiate the conversation. And of course, the conversation will be guided by their age. Keep it simple if they're real young. Tell them God made people. And he made them male and female. And there's no variation to that. And I suggest reading Genesis chapter one, two and three as a family at least once a month to counteract the lies that they're hearing from culture. I suggest it once a week, but you know your child and how they receive. Please read Genesis one, two and three as a family together as often as you can. And then through that, as you're teaching them the truth, then you can tell them some people are confused and don't like the way that God made them. So they wish they were the opposite sex, but they might grow out of that. Let them know that no one can actually change from one sex to another, even though they might try. And it might seem like a silly thing to tell them, but you have to tell them that because culture is telling them something otherwise. And school is telling them something otherwise. Their friends are telling them something otherwise. And then they get a phone and that's just telling them all kinds of crazy and Brad's going to share that with us. Then ask them if there's anyone like that at school. And if they say yes, ask them how that makes them feel and then minister to them accordingly. Don't say, well, you know, that's wrong that that kid is doing that initially. You can ease into that. But if they say, yeah, there is someone like that in school, then you just say, honey, how does that make you feel? Because it's affected them. So you need to know how it makes them feel.  So your child sees how you handle things when situations come up that you know is outside of God's will. Encourage your child to keep an open dialogue with you about any questions that they might have and remind them that you won't be upset with them for asking. This is important, you guys.  They can read your face. If they see you get upset, they might be afraid to share anything with you after that. Listen, your tone and attitude will make an impact on how they see broken and hurting people. In the Bible study last night, he shared that as well. They see how you respond to things. So take this opportunity to affirm them in their own gender, because with all their hearing and seeing, they might be questioning their own identity even if you don't think that there's a possibility of that happening. There's a thing called rapid onset gender dysphoria. We can talk about it out at my table or during Q&A. And it's not different for your older children. They might just have more exposure like the high school kids than the younger ones, but they still need to know that you're a safe place for them to come and ask questions to without you being visibly angry.  And please understand this. All of our children are experiencing this gender indoctrination, all of them. The only difference between Christian and public, well, not the only difference, a big difference between Christian and public schools is that Christian school kids hide their sin and public school kids display it. I can't cover everything in this time allotted, but I have a table in the back, a list of helpful info, and of course we have the time of Q&A, and my website is outofegyptministries.org. I have cards out at the table just with a QR code. You can scan it. You can keep it on your phone, so it's easy to pull up, outofegyptministries.org. I've put as much info there as I possibly could to help you out. Even counseling ministries, I don't counsel, but hopefully that can direct you to a ministry, maybe you or your child needs counsel. And I want to close with this. When the person, not the battle, because the battle's not yours. When the person, not the battle, the battle is the Lord's. Stand up for truth and righteousness, but do it with love and grace. Because most transgender people aren't the six foot five cross dressing man you see with an orange wig and circus makeup all over your face reading stories in the library or maybe like some of the pictures we saw in the video. Many are broken and in desperate, desperate need of love. And we're the ones that carry that love. We're the ones that have agape love. Everything else is filet-o or store gay or the other kinds of love. We carry the agape love. And what better place to receive that love than in the body of Christ sitting in these chairs? Because who knows what God will do them? Who knows what salvation and sanctification lies ahead for them? They just might end up one day speaking at a parent conference at a church in Chino Valley, building up the body of Christ and giving them a better understanding of where they came from.


You've worked on Pitch Perfect, New Girl, Ferty Rock. If you could choose a TV show to be a feature film, which one would it be and why? Well, I think I would do Girl Boss, which is the show I had in Netflix. I think to see that in a movie form would be really cool to actually see the finish of her story. And if you could have John and Leslie take part, what do you think they'd be doing? You'd be the boss that like... Or the investor that comes in that gave her a hard time. If you could choose to be on Pitch Perfect, New Girl, Ferty Rock, which one would you be in? Can't sing, can't dance. I'd want to be in Pitch Perfect because the director would have their work cut out for them. So I think it'd be awesome to be able to finally learn how to sing and dance. What would you do? Would you be maybe on the opposing... I think I would be a good enemy to thwart if I was like the enemy's muscle, so to speak. So maybe that would be good. Yeah. They're gonna do a fourth one? I'll do it. You'll do it? Yeah, I'll do it. John said he's up for being in Pitch Perfect for if it happens. And then people will love him all the same. What would your character do if you were in Pitch Perfect? Oh, that's a good question. I don't know. I'm not sure. I think you could be the sweet angel who does exactly what she's told.  I've got to change it. We're gonna work on it.


I just found Stephen Covey's seven principles of highly effective people, just an absolute ground breaker. One of his stockphrases is, stick to understand before being understood. And that is so true of our business practice as well is that we often, in the lack of information we make assumptions, and I love the way he talks about breaking assumptions by really deeply understanding, you know, getting to what's really going on. And if you understand what's happening with one of your customers, good or bad, then you can help them. That's what I learned from the seven habits of highly effective people, and putting first things first, and planning ahead, and good time management skills, and all of those things really help. So those seven habits are just brilliant.


Next, ladies and gentlemen, to address the audience we have with us a seasoned professional with almost two decades of consulting experience across multiple geographies. He's also a key member of the KPMG's Global Building Construction and Real Estate Sector Steering Group. Please help me welcome the partner and head for Asian Corridor and Real Estate Sector, KPMG in India, Mr. Neeraj Bansal. Could we have a huge round of applause, ladies and gentlemen? Thank you very much for this opportunity. Pleasure to be here amongst everyone who's known in the industry as well as for a very important conference as well, from the point of view of two sessions that we're doing today, late in the day, on the affordable housing and the RERA perspective over there. While we get the presentation up, I think we're just setting up a small context in terms of today's discussion. So just summarizing some of the key indicators from a real estate point of view and some trends which are emerging right now and also from the point of view of just a short overview on the residential side of it and then in terms of the commercial reality and that's how we summarize the session around that. So while we get the presentation up there, I think from a driver's perspective, there are three main drivers that are driving the growth from a real estate side of it in India. So when you look at the urbanization trend, which is the biggest and the most important trend across the entire region as well, where they look at South Asia, where they look at India point over there. So when you look at the urbanization side of it, they're almost like in India side of things, almost 12 million people who are getting urbanized on a yearly basis. So we're looking at explosive population growth, supporting the urbanization trend, which is fueling the growth in the urban requirements as well on the real estate side of it. And expectation is that by 2050, we'll have 900 million people versus 400 million people living in the urban centers which are there today. So by 2030, we're looking at about 580 million people and by 2050, we'll test the number of 900 million people. And if you look at the perspective that typically a household size in India is about 4 to 4.2 per person, per family there. So this means a very explosive growth in terms of the housing demand, which will come in from a residential side of it there. And with the young population that we will have with the age of 28 years as a median side of it, so the age of people actually owning a house and wanting to get up a new house as well has fallen drastically to 25, 28 years of age, which means that there is much more demand coming in because of the nuclear housing as well and also individual strand of getting married and moving out to locations which are individual homes over there. This is where the sectors getting benefited or will get benefited in longer run, where we expect that from an employment perspective by 2022, the sector emerges as the largest employer in terms of the people side of it there, which is almost touching 75 million by 2022 over there. In terms of the construction market, we'll be the third largest construction market in the world by again 2024, 2025, where we'll be looking at a market size to get to about a trillion dollars over there, which is a humongous size of from a construction side of it, which is why we feel the fueling of the fact that there are overseas construction firm which are vying for this buy-in market share in India and entering the market as well. While some of the other countries are also experiencing some of these growth factors in the, especially in the South Asian region, India continues to have a dominance from a market share point of view. And all of this will also help in terms of the fact that in the economy, we're looking at that in the next 10 to 12 years to grow by almost five times to become the third largest economy in the world, which would mean that from a real estate side of it as well, there would be a contribution to GDP, which will double to buy 15% over there. So from a macro point of view, economic indicators, there are some good positive indicators are in place at the current time. From a possibilities and real estate side, the government has launched a number of initiatives that all of us are aware of that with the housing for all initiative, with the make an India initiative, with the urban cities in terms of smart cities aspect of it. So there is, at an overall level, there's almost like a $4 trillion of infrastructure requirement, which is there in India right now in terms of next five, seven years if you look at it, and which is what is giving the opportunity across the value chain in real estate. It's not only for developers, it's for people who are engaged in various parts of the construction industry over there. And if you look at just housing for all in terms of the affordable housing side of it, so there is a lot more discussion required, which we would hope that happens also in the next panel, is also the fact that what does affordable housing mean for non real estate companies, with the fact that so much of requirement is going to come from cement industry point of view, from a steel point of view there, and also with changes in technology which is going to happen in terms of fast moving construction that we need to do. So that requires a wider discussion and also involvement of many more participants in the real estate industry, and then what we will say only by developers and private equity let's say, engaged on real estate. If we look at in terms of some of the trends which are coming up, because of these opportunities and also the expansion which is happening, so the operating models from a real estate side, the traditional model is undergoing a lot of change, especially with RERA coming in now, there is a need for having more leaner companies focused on core competencies in terms of development side of it, and also in terms of getting proper ecosystem developed, to see that the projects are conceptualized appropriately and also delivered in time. So we would see that a lot more support getting done by corporatization of the developer companies over there, and which is where we are finding that a lot more M&As, joint ventures, JDAs, and lean development models will come in place as well, and this will also be collaborated with the fact that from a construction technology standpoint, also the changes being witnessed, and also within the companies, the project management offices or the program management offices are trying to shape the shape now, and this would be useful for them to see that there is a very strong oversight on their project delivery, which is of very strong importance. On the regulatory changes been said many much, but all of us have kind of faced it with the almost whether you call it three tsunamis, or whether you call it three R attacks, whichever we look at it, with demonetization, with RERA, GST coming almost in succession of each other, the industry is still adjusting to these requirements, and also especially on the GST side, there are enough complications to kind of understand and comprehend, which is where one is hoping that the government gets more clarity on it, and one is able to comply with those requirements. With the Benami Property Act and the insolvency, especially in this daily region with the insolvency that we've had with one of the developers over there, has been one of the most talking topics right now. On the financing side as well with the changes in the regulation on the lead side of it, there is a strong possibility hope that by next year, we have the first lead coming in from an India perspective there, and there are obviously the filing has happened, so there is a movement which is going to happen around that, and CMVS has also come up as an option for the commercial property developers over there, and in terms of residential side of it, primarily the focus has been shifted towards affordable housing, and also we are seeing some trends in terms of student housing coming up as an important element there, and in office space, especially the co-working spaces is a very exciting point, wherein two or three units have started to come up in a better manner, and this is an emerging space which is exciting, we are finding that the issues like developers as well as the end user point of view as well, there is a lot of interest in this space, and we will continue to see how people use this model to leverage it from the costing point of view, as well as from an operational flexibility perspective there. Moving to some of the very quick thing on the affordable housing perspective there, can we move to the next slide please? This is a very, very ambitious program by the government, with the fact that we are looking at almost 5 crore houses to be prepared and developed already by 2022, in which we are looking at a segment of both rural and urban side of it. In our estimate when we did this study in 2014, with the current shortage, also with the increase in supply required, we estimated that there is a shortage of 11 crore houses, against the government setback of about 5 to 6 crores is what the government is looking at, but that doesn't take care of the new requirements that come up as well. So every year, because of the population increase, there is almost 2.5 to 3 million new houses required in urban areas, and which is a requirement which has to be addressed as well, apart from the shortage which is already existing. So if you keep the government targets of 2 crore urban houses in mind, and 3 crores of Grameen houses in mind over there, and we take the timelines of like a couple of months here and there, we are looking at that we need almost 7.5 lakh houses plus to be built every month, which is the kind of a very, very tall order which the government has got in oneself, and this is only about 5 crore houses, this doesn't take care of the full requirement. So if you take the full requirement into account, you need almost 15-16 lakh houses to be built every month delivered, that's how you can meet the target. So currently, we are facing a lot of challenges. What is typically happening is that the governments come up with many changes. There are improvements which are happening in parts. So while there are changes that have been done, but the full ecosystem has not come up from an affordable housing point of view. So the scarcity of land continues to be there, the challenges on the approval side continues to be there, and the issue is not getting resolved effectively. Recently, last month at a conference, the housing minister had announced the PPP housing scheme over there. So there are eight models which have come up on that, two for the private land in terms of the extension of CLSS, and also on the central assistance part of it, and the six schemes have been done from a public housing point of view there, where the government gives the land and the development happens by the developer. In this, there are only two models, which is where the developer has a direct relationship with the buyer in terms of the seventh and the eighth, wherein the buyer is able to interact directly with the developer. But in this case, what we find is that the potentially, the extension of CLSS model and the central assistance model are the ones which will get favored by the developers more, and maybe the cross-subsidized model, wherein the developers are required to build a certain percentage of housing on the EWS side of it, and also cross-subsidizes based on the housing which has been done on the other part of the land parcel over there. So the higher income housing subsidizing the lower income housing over there, which we believe that out of the eight, the three or four are the ones which will be more favored by the developers there. Lot still need to be done from the point of view of land reform point of view there, because the title of the land continues to be a big challenge. So digitization is happening at a very lower pace right now. That is something which requires a bigger push. On the streamlining of approvals, again, we have seen a tardy progress. We've had in bits and pieces, certain states have moved forward and have rationalized some of the regulations over there. But again, till the time, the affordable housing doesn't get a specific, clear roadmap in terms of approval process. The cost for getting the approval and the time for getting the approval continues to hamper the growth in this segment there. And the development norms, multiple places, one has seen that the development norms are not in line with the requirements for affordable housing, whether it's the parking norms, whether it is the density norms over there. So while we are promoting the affordable housing, if the norms do not change pace with the requirements part of it, the viability of the projects doesn't come through. And that is the reason why you find the developers not focusing on this segment effectively. Government itself in terms of building the institutional capacity in terms of being able to come up with those many projects is not being great. So there are challenges in terms of the capacity of the, you know, the urban local bodies and also with the ministry of people there to see that how they can expand that requirement and make it a very smooth process. So something which was done for, let's say, the power ministry part of it is something which is required from a real estate side of it as well to see that, you know, we have packaged out projects which can be easily understood, the risks under them, also the commercial side of things there and also standardizing designs also from an affordable housing would help to see that there is more offtake of such projects by the private contractors and builders over there. And of course, from the rental housing point of view, there is a, we've been speaking or hearing about it that there is a, you know, the policy will come up sooner on that. That is something which is important because globally ownership is not what is linked to real estate as a primary thing. So in India, we have always that thing that we need to own the house but in most of the geographic countries, there is 35 to 40 to 55% of the housing is in the rental side of it where in one is able to ensure that there is a house to everyone without, let's say, down payment and other issues getting linked to it there. So that is something which needs a stronger push from an India point of view as well. And the, some of the benefits on the affordable housing public-private partnership scheme which has been announced recently, one will see there is one element of rental housing also in that. So one will see that how it pans out in the next few months as it goes forward. On the other side, commercial reality has been a big play. You know, that is something which has been a very, very positive spin to that which has seen a high growth aspect of it. So with 30, 35 million square feet of annual absorption with low vacancies and also, you know, higher supply coming in on the commercial office space. So, you know, that is something that has been a very positive requirement. And also that has attracted a lot of the foreign investors as well from a commercial housing point of view there. So retail space, again, you know, with the higher absorptions with almost three million square feet plus getting added every year in the last four years, that's been an exciting space and expected to continue to do so with GST and, you know, e-commerce and other like drivers fueling the housing stock in India. So when we're seeing that there will be more and more organized warehousing space coming up and that is a very, very important, you know, segment which is emerging in terms of the interest from both domestic and the foreign investors as well. Some quick numbers if I may just kind of go through on the institutional investments part of it. This has been an exciting space. You know, this year particularly has seen a record year of investments announced with the participation of the foreign investors over there. Almost five billion dollars already announced and one would expect about another billion or two getting signed up, you know, in this quarter. So this is a record year. Last year as well, we had almost five billion dollars of investments. So combined, these two years have been, you know, very big from a registered investments point of view from India point of view there, which also reflects the sentiment that, you know, the valuation side of it and also in terms of the growth story, there is an intact there and, you know, the foreign investors are able to see it and also time it accordingly. A lot of these investments have been driven into the office space primarily by the sovereign wealth funds and the pension funds over there. And in terms of deal sizes as well, you know, one has seen that there is almost a doubling of the size. So from 56 million odd deal sizes, this with the new foreign investors which has happened in the office space, the deal size is almost double to about 111 billion per deal in the last four years. So where is this investment, you know, coming from, if you just divide that, you know, we see that the share of the banks, you know, has been really going down. So in terms of the lending by the developers to the bank segment, you know, at the overall four year period, it stands at 37%, which is quite linked to the private equity investment of 38% over there. But if you look at the share at an individual level, then at an individual year level in 2016, the banks investment or banks share of lending has really gone down from 83% in 2013 to 17% over there. So one is, of course, that the market size of investment has increased. At the same time, the banks reluctance to lend to the sector and also with the NPS that our banks are giving through and also with some of the challenges that, you know, sectors kind of face through. So the lending from the banking sector is reduced for the sector significantly. But this has been kind of, you can say, replaced or added more by the, you know, kind of investment done by NBFCs and also with the sovereign wealth funds and pension funds, which have, you know, increasingly looked at Indian real estate as another alternative revenue for them, for the investment side of it there. In terms of where this money is coming from, you know, apart from the money which has come from Netherlands and Hong Kong recently, but if you look at the overall picture, then almost 60% of the investment is coming from three locations, which is in terms of the Canada, Singapore and or rather rooted through these three locations, you know, which is the Canada, Singapore and the USA part of it there, altogether giving us almost 60% of the total investments there. But Hong Kong is kind of increasing more with the Chinese investments coming through the Hong Kong route over there. So which is where we find that, you know, this will be going to be increasingly growth trend from a sector's point of view there. Lastly, in terms of, you know, where is this investment going in, you know, so from the sector sub-segment's point of view, you know, the residential continues to have almost 23% of this entire share, but the change in the investment sizes, if you look at it, in terms of the last year versus the last previous through three years over there, so there is a drop in the residential investment by 15% overall share remains to be 23% of the total investment. Office, you know, share has now 47% of the total investment that has happened in the last four years. And in that the office share investment has grown up as well by 8% over there. So in terms of while the investments are happening across the other sectors as well, sub-segment in terms of the warehouses and retail side of it, but residential and office continue to dominate, you know, the former investment size, which is close to almost 75% over there. So, you know, with this, the investment story continues to be intact, you know, from at least from the office and retail point of view, one will have to watch out and see the space in terms of the fact that because there's always a lag between the supply and the actual requirement, so does office continue to have that requirement coming up, you know, because there's a lot of now supply and plant, supply comes up, will that off-take happen that time? That is where some judicious balancing is required, because we've seen this trend earlier as well, you know, wherein you had a lot more office supply coming in in 2010, 11, 12, you know, where we had to refix those projects and get into the residential side of it. So again, there is a need to pause and reflect to see that how the economy is doing, how the investments are coming up, which area, which locations, and what kind of supply is required and what type of segment that one is trying to attract over there that could determine the investment size from both the investors point of view as well as for developers point of view there. So with this, thank you very much for this time. Thank you so much, Mr. Bansal.


There is a monster living in the sea, which the Greeks call Aspidochelon, and we call the whale. Whales are creatures with huge bodies and mouths, which draw in and spout out water. The whale raises its back above the waves and to pass us by, it seems to stay in the same place. The winds blow sea sand onto it and it becomes a level place where greenery can grow. Unwary sailors often mistake the whale for an island and beach their ships on its back. Then they light fires and when the creature feels the heat of the fire, it dives beneath the waves and drags the ship and her crew down with it into the depths. When this sea monster is hungry, it opens its jaws and gives out a sweet scent. Little fish smell this and unwittingly gather in its mouth.  It was the whale that swallowed the prophet Jonah and held him in its belly for three days. Its stomach is so large that it could be mistaken for hell.


You you mentioned Erica, right? Erica and I see spaceboy with a lot like were you the one that linked them together by coming through the studio? Yeah. OK, so we on boss talk one on one.  And so there's just different ways that you can do things that make it I call it interactive TV. Yeah. Right. So if you have interactive TV to the fans, they feel like they're a part of the production.  Wow. So you you mentioned Erica, right? Erica and I see spaceboy with a lot like were you the one that linked them together by coming through the studio? Yeah. OK, so she was that connection was working and artistic.  And you also have a good relationship. Yeah. Yeah. No, we just had a birthday recently, a birthday pass. Did you do the production in that? No, because the A.E.G. is took over that venue now and there's just a whole another set of rules. So OK. So when she would come in, though, how was it working with Eric? I have to ask you that now that I brought it up. Like, how was it? How was she working with to work with? For as, you know, that was a time where y'all did that all in the studio. I remember even the B.T., right? That shot where they were doing the cipher, right? Yeah, they did the cipher. At your spot. That's a spot.  But it was cool. Like with her working with her, she's a, you know, she's a. She's, you know, like genius. Yeah.    Isn't it sometimes? Enlightenment. Yeah. But there's there's that, you know, saying so that, you know, when you get a room of creatives with her, it just it just feeds and things grow and things happen. And, you know, and then when you're done, you know, when she spits that vision out, if you could just help help her with that vision to execute, that's really the role we played in that deal. It was always Erica's idea, things she wanted to achieve. You know, we were just, we were a vessel there to help bring that vision to light. When I think about Eric, I got a question. I thought that's what those numbers was on Facebook, but you can go ahead because it's still pertaining to Erica. When I think about Erica, I think about how unique she is in everything that she does, how she dresses, how she speaks, how everything. So whereas as production is concerned, is she the same way as in she always tried to come up with things that are like super different, like way outside of the box? And sometimes it might. Is it hard for you to make that be a reality? No, you know, because I'm a pretty open minded guy, you know, there was like one thing that happened and she switched things up.  They got picked for the for the dodgeball team. So what you're telling me, I need to sit on a bench like, OK, coach, what's what's dude? You know what I mean? Right. I'm a team player. And so there, you know, with some of the stuff that she has, can be challenging, but it's always going to be worth it if he can figure things out as a team and to be able to execute those visions that are in that woman's head. Period.


Have you ever stopped to ponder the impact of homeschooling on the future of education? It's a question that might seem simple at first glance, but has layers of complexity once you delve deeper. In the grand tapestry of education, homeschooling stands out as a unique thread. It facilitates a personalized approach to learning where children can learn at their own pace in their own space under the guidance of their parents or private tutors. The focus on one-on-one learning can often result in accelerated learning, and the flexibility it provides can be beneficial for families with unique circumstances. Yet, if we splice this thread and examine it closely, we'll find that it's not without its flaws. The personalized approach can be a double-edged sword, leading to a narrow, tailored curriculum that might leave gaps in a child's knowledge. The lack of social interaction, a key component of traditional schooling, can result in underdeveloped social skills. Traditional schooling, on the other hand, offers a structured curriculum developed by education experts. It introduces students to a wide array of subjects, ensuring a well-rounded education. Furthermore, it provides an environment that fosters social interaction, teamwork, and competition, shaping not just educated individuals, but also socially adept ones. However, traditional schooling has its own drawbacks. The one-size-fits-all approach doesn't cater to the individual learning styles of students. It can also be rigid, with less flexibility for families who travel or have unconventional schedules. Now, if we weave these threads back into the tapestry, we see a complex picture. Homeschooling offers personalized, flexible learning, but might not provide a comprehensive education or sufficient social interaction. Traditional schooling offers a broad curriculum and social development opportunities, but might not cater to individual learning styles or provide flexibility. So, how does this impact the future of education? It's a question without a clear-cut answer. It's a question that requires us to evaluate the merits and demerits of both homeschooling and traditional schooling, and consider how we can blend the strengths of the two to build a robust education system. In summary, homeschooling and traditional schooling are two sides of the same coin. Each has its strengths and weaknesses, and each can contribute uniquely to the education landscape. The key lies in understanding these differences, acknowledging them, and working towards an education system that balances personalization with a comprehensive curriculum, flexibility with structure, and individual learning with social development. So, the next time you find yourself wondering about the future of education, remember this. It's not about choosing between homeschooling and traditional schooling. It's about blending the best of both worlds to create an education system that equips our children not just with knowledge, but also with the skills and experiences they need to thrive in the world. Because at the end of the day, the goal of education is not just to build well-educated individuals, but also well-rounded citizens.


Hi, I'm Peyton Mayer with CalTV Sports here at Edwards Stadium reporting on the Cal Bears women's soccer team who just played University of Arizona. Let's check it out. First half University of Arizona get some chances, but goalie Emily Boyd has some great saves and is able to keep the Bears in the game. There's some amazing defense by defensive player Caroline Clark who's able to get the ball up the field and into the midfield to distributor Onir Kolber. First half end 0-0. Second half Bears come out strong and Caleb Fong has an opportunity on goal. The game heats up with some fouls by both teams. Caroline Clark comes so close to scoring but the U of A goalie is able to get a hand on it. Then with 10 minutes left University of Arizona scores and is awarded a penalty shot which is missed. Unfortunately the Bears are not able to score in the game and 0-1 with a win for Arizona.


All right, so let's do a quick review of all the stuff that we covered in that section now We covered quite a bit of stuff, but we have a now a procedural RAM model You can use all the sliders and stuff that we've been promoting up to our HDA's User interface and you can change the shape of it and all the UVs get updated It's really cool. All right. I highly recommend you know starting to look at you know modeling this way I enjoy it thoroughly and it's it's really good for reuse, especially if you need to create lots of variations Highly recommend it. Anyways, let's go and talk about the next thing So we learned some procedural techniques, you know, we talked about group by range We learned how to join different curves together to create the shapes that we want We learned how to use the new sweep node. We learned bunch of cool Procedural techniques that are used quite often in this process and now there's there's lots more But you know, that's what comes with the practice So I highly recommend just learning what the nodes do and the the data that the output and You know mix and match them together and see what kind of results you get. All right, so Then we also took a look at creating creating clean procedural UVs All right now I highly recommend also doing it this way too So you don't end up with a ton of shells now, you know substance painter and mixer 2020 They do a great job of you know using the triplaner texturing or the what mixer calls box projection You know the original term is triplaner projection. All right, but I Still like to at least have my my UVs laid out in an organized way There are some cases where yes, you will just throw down a UV unwrapped node and create a bunch of shells But this is a great way to do this. All right, cool So with that let's move on to the next section and get a high res model created and take care of our bakes
