You know what's funny is that when fans hear some former Baltimore Ravens players speak about the current state of the Ravens, they'll listen to them and be like, oh, they're just bitter, they're mad, they're mad that they went out on the Ravens terms instead of their own terms. Oh, they just got all this hate toward the Ravens organization. And then there will be other players that when they speak, fans listen and they listen good. And one of those players is none other than our friendly neighborhood superhero, Ed Reed, who was on the Great Dane podcast and he had a lot to say about the current state of the Baltimore Ravens. And he talked about film study. He talked about not even just with the Ravens, but he said that's just so important film study because in college, a lot of these players are not being taught the right way how to study film. He spoke about how him and Ray Lewis, they used to be up like crazy at like two, three in the morning just studying film. And when you look at how many plays the both of those two made, it makes sense. It makes a whole lot of sense. He talked about leadership. He talked about different players on a team who are in maybe younger players ears, but those younger players respect those leaders and that it makes such a big difference. He talked about with the Super Bowl that year in 2012 when they finally wanted that he said that they had to take it. They had to go into the playoffs with the mindset of there's a lot of other teams trying to get the Super Bowl, but we have to take it because he had said he had been in too many positions before too many games before too many playoffs before where they gave it away. So stuff had to change that year and they certainly got it done. But some other things that he talked about were no excuses. No excuses. What was he talking about with no excuses for the injuries? And it started with, I know Baltimore has always been big on next man up. So there's no excuses when you lose people, you know, but those things do count. And he was speaking about all the guys that got hurt. Now it's crazy because I, maybe it comes from being a Ravens fan for such a long time, but I always thought next man up. I thought the Ravens originated that I really did. I always thought that because that's the only place that I had heard it from. I had always heard Ravens say next man up, next man up, next and they've been saying that for years, for years. So when I heard another team say it, I was like, what they know that's Ravens only Ravens say that. But Ravens have been big on that for so long when guys have went out, having other guys be able to step in and maybe not be as good as the original guy was, or sometimes they can be even better than the original guy was. It all just depends. But Ravens have been big on next man up for a very long time.  Tyler Huntley actually stepped in and did a decent job. The guys got to help him out, obviously catching the ball and stuff like that. And that is very, very true. Tyler Huntley did step in. He was asked a lot because like, when you get asked to step in and feel it for Lamar Jackson, that's a tough task right there. And Tyler did it. He did a decent job, man. He really did. We all love Tyler Huntley. We appreciate it. Tyler Huntley. He did this thing. He boosted his stock even though he's still going to be with the Ravens next year. But it helps him for the future when it comes to those future opportunities. But we know that Tyler Huntley, as good as he did, and some games were better than others, especially that Packers game. He was still not a Lamar Jackson. And while Tyler Huntley did do a good job, the Ravens won one game without Lamar Jackson. One. And that continues to show just how valuable Lamar Jackson is to these Baltimore Ravens. Anyway, he also said, but you know, it was just tough, a tough year, a lot of injuries playing. It's going to be hard to get through that. Those guys gots to get healthy, you know. And I think the Ravens will be all right. You just got to clean up a lot of little mistakes, secondary wise, defense and offense. And yes, that is true. And that's the same thing that I've been saying literally all year long. The Ravens, the adjustments that they had to make, but it ended up being too little, too late. But it was just miscues. It could be drops. It could be interceptions. It could be an up tempo game.  The thing about a bunch of little mistakes, if they don't get corrected, if they don't get addressed, then they ended up, they ended up adding up to big mistakes. And then it just gets to a point where it's like, ah, you can't do anything about that. And it becomes too little, too late. And that's exactly what happened to the Ravens. It became too little, too late. One of those things that I felt like they could have done a lot better job of will be, as we saw, you didn't, without them all, you didn't win. Well, you won one game, but basically without Lamar, you didn't win. You were losers without Lamar Jackson. And we know that, hey, with Lamar Jackson, Ravens invested so much into Lamar Jackson, he is not invested as far as building around him. But I mean, they are very invested in Lamar Jackson as a player. He is their offense.  And when he was out, they died. So when you lose that player, who is literally your everything, of course, you're going to take a step back. But if you take a step back and you have your backup first game, okay, I could understand if you lose that one because you got blindsided by an injury. You got blindsided by him being out. If you lose your second game without your starting quarterback, okay. But then to lose six games straight and for five of those games to be decided by one score, most by like a couple of points, inexcusable, inexcusable. In this podcast, Ed Reid, he talked about the two-point conversions. He talked about the heartbeat of the team. He said it's different when you're viewing the game as a fan, like when you're not actually there out there on the field. He talked about with some of those two-point conversions. He said, because I know a lot of, when I said it, a lot of people now engraving now, see that you don't know what you're doing. Ed Reid said, he said he would have played, he would have played for overtime. He said, he said it, not me. Well, I said it too, but Ed Reid said that he would have played for overtime. He said, because you as a player, you want an opportunity to play some more football, so he would have played for overtime. But again, make sure you listen to the podcast because there was a lot that this article and a lot that it was a lot, a lot of good stuff, as always.  But when he does speak, he always dropping some gems. Anyway, he said that he also said about leadership. He said there are times when it's kind of like a roller coaster, you know, so you have to get some consistency there. And that comes with growth. You know, I said that a couple of interviews back that they were young. They got some vets, but they are also young, you know, so that comes with time. It comes to going through some stuff, you know, so hopefully those guys are mature after this year because they went through a good fit. Hopefully they come through next year and then they battle back. And he also mentioned how they got a lot of time to think about it. And yes, they certainly do since the off season started a lot earlier. But when he spoke about vets again, that that leads us to leadership. That leads us to leadership. And that is something that I feel like we don't talk about enough on here when it comes to these Baltimore Ravens, different things that they lack, different areas where they lack.  And when it come to when it came to his leadership. And I was like, oh, yeah, he was a nice hype man and his leadership will be missing. His excitement will be missing. Him being the ultimate teammate will be missed. But I was like, I don't think it's that big of a deal. They still got leaders and stuff. But let's see what he had to say. He said, leadership matters. Look what Baltimore has done since Ray, Ray Lewis and I, that being a read and Juan Bolton, Terrell Suggs and all those loading out of all of us left. Well, maybe not left, but when we were not in the building after that, since 2013, I think they only won like one or two playoff games. Like the Ravens haven't done much. I just know we were big pieces to that. You know, no matter what nobody says, we were huge pieces to that as much as people wanted us to be gone. You know, it takes the right guys in the locker room. And oh, boy, this is an argument that a lot of fans, they tend to get this dismissive and defensive over because when some fans will bring up, what have the Ravens done since all those dudes left? No Ray Lewis, no Avery, what have the Ravens accomplished? No Anquan Boat, what have the Ravens done? And then a lot of people will be like, what that it was them. They were the real leaders of that team. They were the ones running the show. Not how it was them. And people are like, no, it was horrible, horrible. But then they point to everything that came after that. And there's been nothing. Now, regular season success is nice and it starts in the regular season. So got to give credit for that. But as far as postseason, when things matter the most, what accomplishments have there been? None, none. And everything, like we always say, everything is not all on coaching. It's not. But that's where it starts. That's where everything starts. And if you just look in that stuff for exactly what it is, because Ray Lewis and Avery, they not just every day players, they're not, they're really not. And we all know that they're not. So when you look at everything that happened or hasn't happened ever since they left, when when you lose your big time players, that's when coaching matters the most. When you lose your heart, when you lose your soul, your that's when coaching matters the most. That's when it matters the most and ain't no way around it is really not. And we see two playoff wins, one in 2014 and then one in 2020. Two. That's it. That's it. So many fans get upset when that gets pointed out.  It's really not.  We have high expectations for them because we know they can do better. And if you knew better, you would do better. But we knew that they can be better. So we just hope that they would do better, but they haven't been doing better. That's why stuff gets questions, decisions, this question. Coaching gets question. A lot gets question decision. It's just so much. And we just want the Ravens to have better answers. That's it. That's it. That is it. And the way that this season ended, it has continued to expose so much when it's come to just the lack, the lack of adjustments, the lack of success, the lack. And again, it's not all on coaches, but coaches play such a crucial part in the decision making, the end game decision making, the situational play calling that stuff makes such a big difference, a huge difference. Ed Reid also talked about in his podcast, he said, this is why him and Ray, they did so much film study. This is this is why, because they and they called it unconscious, unconscious competence. That was it. I was like, oh, I love that one. Unconscious competence. And they said, when when that pressure is on and as Ravens fans, we know this is true. But they said, when that pressure is on, no matter who it is, whether it's a coach, whether it's a coordinator, whether it's a player, when that pressure is on, a player is going to when everything's not working, a player is going to go back to their roots. They're going to go back to their bread and butter, whether that bread and butter is good or whether that bread and butter is bad. When stuff is breaking down and stuff ain't looking, they're going to go back to that bread and butter. So that's that's why it's so important that when whatever your bread and butter is, you make it something that is a good foundation. You have to because you're going to end up going back to that when all else fails, when stuff ain't clicking so good. But anyway, he also talked about how the locker room is for the players. You know, the locker room is led by players. Coaches don't lead grown men. It's a partnership. You know, it's truly a partnership when you get to the league. And that was very interesting as well, because it makes sense because in college and it sound like he was comparing it to college because in college, it's obviously a lot younger men. Usually from 18 to 21 to 22, it's younger men that the coach that's what coach really got to lead, because you have so many young men. You don't know this situation. You don't know what's going on with their family. You don't know what's going on in their personal lives. So oftentimes coaches become like father figures for these young men. But an NFL, not that they aren't grown men, but there are a lot more grown men than there are in college. And they've had a lot more experience and experiences in the NFL as NFL players, especially NFL veterans. Obviously, then somebody in college would. And I loved how he talked about the part where it's a partnership. It's not a grown man, lead another grown. It's a partnership. And to me, that really sounded like he was speaking about respect because respect, it goes such a long way. You can disagree with somebody, excuse me. You can not see eye to eye with them. You can think something that they're saying is completely wrong. But if you respect them, you'll still give them the time of day. You'll listen to what they have to say. And even if you disagree with it, the way that you respond to it is so much different for somebody who you would respect versus somebody who you don't respect. So respect is big. It's huge. So every he really, of course, drop Jim's as usual. Please listen to the entire podcast when you get a chance, especially like the first, like 30, 32 minutes of it. Because I know a lot of articles and stuff. Somebody may look at this article. Oh, man, they just took out this and that. And they just like they only put in certain spots. No, this was this was not one of those articles. Where they misquoted a read or anything like that, where they made something worse than what it really was with air. No, this is exactly what he said is how he said it. Nothing got altered or anything like that. No, this is this was it. And that's why I say, please listen to it for yourself. So you can hear exactly what Ed Reed said, because it's a lot more in there, too. So anyway, team keep it clean. Appreciate y'all love y'all. Shout out to a read as usual, man. We out.


There were two great Americans who bore the name Oliver Wendell Holmes. One was the famous New England poet, the physician called by men of his generation the autocrat of the breakfast table. His son was perhaps even greater. The story of the second Oliver Wendell Holmes is not so much the record of a man's life as the development of a man's mind. And it is this story of one of America's paramount legal philosophers and scholars that the cavalcade of America tells tonight. The late Mr. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes of the United States Supreme Court. As an overture, Don Buries and the DuPont cavalcade orchestra play one of the loveliest of Jerome Kern's melodies, The Touch of Your Hand. To become a philosopher, but I decided that the universe is too great a swell to have a meaning. My career is in the law to think, to make plainer the way from something to the whole of things, and so perhaps in some measure to make my universe more livable. Thus spoke Oliver Wendell Holmes, to whom the law was something more than dry briefs and opinions, it was a human living thing, and his concept of it was his chief legacy to the men of his time. But Oliver Wendell Holmes left another legacy, one only a few men once his intimate would now remember, and it was the three short years ago that the curious footnote was written to the career that had just come to a close with the passing of Associate Justice Holmes. In the offices of a newspaper in Washington, D.C., a 70-year-old colored man found his way to the classified advertising desk. I'd like to put a piece in your paper about a kindly man who was a friend to me. He died a year ago today. A bituary, of course. Can I help you write it? That would be right kind of you, sir. All right. Now, what shall we say? In the morium? Yes. And what is the name of the deceased? Oliver Wendell Holmes. Did you know him? Well, no, not personally. I guess there's not many people left who did know him personally, but I did. I was his messenger when he was on the Supreme Court bench. Oh, I see. Mr. Holmes was the kindest, wisest human man that ever lived. I'd like to say something about that in the advertisement. Well, perhaps in the morium, Mr. Formulant. How about in-remembrance? In-sad-remembrance. In-sad-remembrance of the latest Associate Justice of the Supreme Court, Oliver Wendell Holmes. Yes, sir. Who passed to his reward one year ago today, March 6, 1935. And I wrote down a little saying here, I'd like you to print that, too. Death is the gate to endless joy, but we dread to enter there. And I'd like for you to print my name printed like this, his old messenger, Arthur A. Thomas. Arthur A. Thomas. Yes, sir. Did Mr. Holmes' family send you down to put this in? Mr. Holmes has no family, sir. All his kinfolk is dead. But I've counted the days since he's gone. And this is the first anniversary since he died. He would have been 94 years old. In 1841, when Oliver Wendell Holmes was born, the dollar in Boston was still reckoned in shilling. The quill was being used instead of the fountain pen. And the canary yellow cultures of the conquered stage took two days to go from Boston to New York. The postage on a lever was 18 and three-fourths cents for a single sheet, and double that if there was an enclosure. Some Boston family still had slaves, but the abolitionist movement was already growing in New England, and the idea would have shocked the first Oliver Wendell Holmes, who March 9, 1841 sent out this announcement to his friends. Last evening between eight and nine, there appeared at number eight Montgomery Place in Boston a little individual who may be here after addressed as O.W. Holmes, the squire, or the honorable O.W. Holmes, member of Congress, or his excellency O.W. Holmes, president of the United States, but who for the present is content with scratching his face and sucking his right forefinger. At 16, young Oliver Wendell Holmes was reading Plato in Greek, and he was listening with the raptor tension to the lofty discussions of his father's friend, the gentleman who comprised the same literary circle, the Saturday Club, out of which came the Atlantic Monthly Magazine. Numbered among them were Nathaniel Hawthorne, James Russell Lowell, Longfellow, and Whittier. Young Oliver's idol was Ralph Waldo Emerson. In Boston one day in the spring of 1857, Oliver was out walking with a young lady when the Great Emerson rounded the corner. Oh, good afternoon, Dr. Emerson. Well, well, well. It's very different, Master Holmes. How are your studies progressing, Master Holmes? Well, rather slower than I expected, sir. You see, I... I see you're out walking with a very charming young lady. Oh, but I don't interfere with Oliver's studies, Dr. Emerson. Oh, I'm just only joking, my dear. Of course, Master Holmes, in these times, one needs a good deal more than book learning. Yes. Did you read the Supreme Court decision on the Dred Scott case, sir? Yes. Yes, I read it. Dr. Emerson, don't you think there must be something wrong with a law if it reduces a human being to slavery? Well, laws are what men make them, Oliver. It isn't a law that must be changed. Men must change themselves. Yes, I am. I never thought of it in just that way, sir. I don't suppose the Dred Scott decision is going to change what the North and the South think about slavery? I think I'll write an essay on that subject, Dr. Emerson. Good. I'd like to see it when you've finished it.  Well, yes, Oliver. I'd love to. But if we're going to that lecture... Oh, bother the lecture. The essay is much more important. Come on, let's go to the library. We'll see you at T. Saturday, Dr. Emerson. All right. Goodbye. Goodbye, Miss Danny. Goodbye, Dr. Emerson. Come on, Miss Danny. Hurry. You shouldn't have been so abrupt with Dr. Emerson, Oliver. But the essay was his idea. Or was it? Come to think of it, I believe it was mine. The Civil War marked the turning point in the development of the mind of Oliver Wendell Holmes. From the sheltered, bookish Boston environment of his childhood, he was thrust into a world of violent action. Commissioned as a First Lieutenant, he marched down Boston Common to the song that was on the lips of all New Englanders, a song that had burgeoned there after the raid on Harpers Ferry, to become the battle song of the North in the War of the Rebellions, John Brown's Body. Went down to Washington in cattle cars, and young Lieutenant Holmes could hardly wait to get into the fighting. You could already hear the rebel yells drifting across the Potomac. When he's owned a Richmond Yankee, and the reply, the day you go to Washington, Johnny Rebb, but by the time Oliver Wendell Holmes had gone to Leesburg, he knew what war was about. At Ball's Bluff, a mini ball pierced the breast of Lieutenant Holmes. Then a month later at Chancellor'sville, Thrice wounded Oliver Wendell Holmes, the captain now, reported to General H. G. Wright. Captain Holmes, I'm assigning you to light a duty from now on. I think you've stopped enough bullets for your chair. Lighter duty, sir? Yes, there's an important visitor from Washington on campus afternoon. You're to show him around. Oh, yes, sir. Of course, sir. Attention! Here he is now. Carry on, sir. I am... old gentleman. This is Captain Holmes, Mr. President. Assigned to show you around the camp. Pleased to meet you, Captain Holmes. Yes, sir. I mean, thank you, sir. Shall we start the rounds, Captain? Yes, sir. At once. A few minutes later, a young captain, Oliver Wendell Holmes, was talking more easily with a tall, amenable visitor from Washington. For the angular stovepipe-hatted man he was assigned to show about the camp, was Abraham Lincoln. How long have you been in the service, Captain Holmes? About three years actual fighting, Mr. President. It's a terrible thing. All this bloodshed. I pray God we won't see much more of it. Strange, you know, sir. When it's quiet like this, it's hard to believe that it's still going on. Oh, listen. They're bringing up the artillery over there now. Does that mean fighting tonight? They're closer than I thought. You'd better just down, Mr. President. Down, hurry. I'm afraid I didn't quite catch what you said, Captain. Down! Down on your belly, you fool! I guess that's the last salvo for a while. There I am. There I get up now. I imagine it's safe now, Mr. President. I'm sorry about speaking that way. You understand, I didn't mean to be rude. Don't worry, Captain Holmes. I'm glad to see you know how to talk to a civilian. When young Captain Holmes was mustered out of the 20th Massachusetts, his mind wetted with three years of excitement, cast about in search of a field where it might grow to the stature of his ambition. When he took his degree at the Harvard Law School, his incisive mind had already won him recognition in his own right. But his restless mind was looking for something more. And his search took him to England. There he met two young men, Frederick Pollock and Frederick Maitland, who'd have become his fast friend. And what to do for English law, what Holmes did for American law. Night after night, Oliver would sit to them talking far into the morning. The trouble with a law in America is your preaching constitution home. Here in England, there's some hope. Yes, Maitland means you've got it all on a piece of paper, written sometime in the 18th century. How can you help to progress over there? Well, gentlemen, take the Dred Scott decision. Rather make it plain that the Constitution is what the judges say it is. Here in England, the Constitution is what Parliament says it is. So which is the more democratic home? I don't know. It seems to me that you, Maitland, and I, are driving at more or less the same thing. We've got to fit it into different systems. That's all. But how is it to be done? We'll best it in our law chambers over in the temple and hanging out those little shingles. Indeed, not. No. But I am reasonably sure of this. No one can cut out new paths in company. He does that alone. Maybe when we've done that and have turned our misgivings into success, we will be masters of ourselves. Perhaps that is the secret of achievement. But the profession he adopted and which became his lifelong career, Oliver Wendell Holmes later wrote, When I started out on the ocean of law, I found myself plunged in a thick fog of details, in a black and frozen night in which there were no flowers, no springs, no easy joys. Voices of authority warned that in the crush of that eye, any craft might sink. And yet, one said to oneself, law is human. It is a part of man and of one world with all the rest. There must be a drift if one will go prepared and have patience, which will bring one out to daylight and a worthy end. Oliver Wendell Holmes returned to America and in his 30s had already lived as fully as many men have at 60. But his legal career was just beginning. A junior member of a Boston law firm teaching in the Harvard Law School, he spent his evenings pouring over histories and commentaries of the law, getting the fullness of knowledge that must be his. And it was patient Fanny Dixwell, his boyhood sweetheart, who helped make tolerable the solitude he'd chosen to endure. Sometimes he'd take his books around to the little house in Cambridge, where Fanny Dixwell lived with her father, and they'd sit there quietly, side by side. He read he, she saw him. Fanny. Yes, Oliver? Something just occurred to me. Yes, Oliver? Russian came into the office today. Oh? He said that in the middle class of Russia, there were specialists. In the upper class, there were civilized men. He thought America was terrible. Didn't like it here at all. But why? Because he's only a civilized man. Oh, I didn't follow that at all. But don't you see, a civilized man who's nothing else wouldn't like it here. But if a man is a specialist, like, say, a lawyer, well, he has to be civilized, too. Does he? I mean, he has to have at least a knowledge of the essentials of all the other arts and science. That gives him tolerance. Trouble with a fellow like this Russian, he's not in it. Looks down on it all. Like most judges. You know, Oliver, I think that would make good lecture for your class at law school. You really think so? Yes, I think it's an exciting idea. And I'll use it. Now, I don't see how I'm ever going to get all this done this week, this lecture, Stephen's case. And I promise to finish that paper on common law for the review. Oh, and I just happen to think of something really terrible. What is it, Oliver? Well, I've been so busy, I clean forgot to ask you to marry me. I know, Oliver, but, perhaps, it's not too late. You mean you will marry me? Of course I will, Oliver. When Oliver Wendell Holmes married Fanny Dixwell, America was coming of age. A liberal philosophy and jurisprudence began to illumin our punctilious legal scene, as with penetrating clarity the mind of Oliver Wendell Holmes, led him to write his great commentary, the common law, led him at 41 to ascend the bench of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. For in clear, unemotional terms, Oliver Wendell Holmes was creating a new conception of the law and expressing his legal philosophy in clarion words. A word is not crystal, transparent, unchanged. It is the skin of human thought. It is the same with a law. Law is not a brooding omnipresence in the sky. Neither is its purpose to shackle. Laws are made by men. And not the reverse, as is all too often supposed. As the legal stature of Oliver Wendell Holmes attracted nationwide attention, one day after the turn of the century, to the chamber of the United States Senate where the presidential note I nominate for Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court Oliver Wendell Holmes of Massachusetts signed Theodore Roosevelt. Such was the highest recognition that people could give to one whose career had been the law. But the story of Oliver Wendell Holmes from the battlefield of the Civil War to the revered little red brick house on a Washington side street in which the old Justice lived out the last chapter of his fruitful life lives best in his own words. The opinion which at first shocked men of his profession because they were not written in complicated legal language but which survived to become a tradition in American jurisprudence. The interpretation of the Constitution as a living human document and of which he wrote, if there is one principle of the United States Constitution that more imperatively calls for attachment than any other, it is the principle of free thought. Not free thought for those who agree with us, but freedom for the thought that we hate. One afternoon in January, 1932, at the end of the day's business, 90-year-old Mr. Justice Holmes gathers up his brief and follows the Chief Justice from the gray walls and marble pillars of the chamber of the United States Supreme Court. In his office a few minutes later, he nods to his clerks and his personal attendants, Arthur Thomas. Let me help you with the room, Mr. Holmes. Thank you, Arthur. And one thing more. Yes, sir. I want to take home those books between the ends there, the Plato and the two Latin volumes. Oh, Mr. Holmes, I just stopped to say good night. Oh, good night, sir. Good night, Mr. Holmes. Good night, gentlemen. Good night. Will you be wanting anything else, Mr. Holmes? No, Arthur. I'll be going along now. And goodbye, boy. I... I won't be down tomorrow. So into retirement passed the black-gown figure of a great jurist. But the scholarship and philosophy of Oliver Wendell Holmes have left their imprint on American law and the nation he served. And to the men of our time and of all time, the venerable old justice has left this deathless message. I say to you in all sadness of conviction that to think great thoughts you must be heroes as well as idealists. Only when you have worked alone when you have felt around you a black gulf of solitude more isolating than that which surrounds the dying man and in hope and in despair have trusted to your own unshaken will. Then only will you have achieved. Thus only can you gain the secret isolated joy of the thinker who knows that a hundred years after he is dead and forgotten men who never heard of him will be moving to the measure of his thought. And now here's Basil Risedale speaking for the Japan Company and bringing us another story from the wonder world of chemistry. The other day after a friend of mine parked his car at the New York World Fair I called his attention to the rainbow of bright and handsome colors on the cars in that vast parking space. That's a good sign, he said. And then he told me why. Automobile manufacturers find that brightly colored cars gain in popularity in prosperous years. The interesting bit of information was a new one for me but I was able to show him a lot of amazing things about paints and finishes by taking him over to the wonder world of chemistry building. One of the many fascinating sites there is a demonstration of tests given to finishes such as those used on cars. The thin film of protection created by finishing materials put on a car is really quite a sturdy suit of protection. It's sufficient for the life of your car under ordinary usage and given a reasonable amount of care. I wonder if you've ever thought of the punishment the paint on a car takes from dust and gravel, rain, snow, ice and hot sunshine. At the Finishes Laboratory in DuPont's exhibit at the fair chemists show you how they make sure that finishes can take such punishment and come back for more. The astounding tests performed there before your very eyes tell why modern cars continue to look so well after thousands of miles of hard travel. A real tribute to the chemists who developed modern finishes. 25 years ago it took three weeks to paint a car and required many coats of slow drying paint. In spite of this slow, expensive process the finish didn't last. Even as recently as 1922 painting a car took as long as 10 days. Then DuPont chemists perfected Ducal Lacquer and revolutionized finishing methods. Today it's a matter of a few hours to paint a car and the finish lasts for years. This increase in the speed of painting and drying was a big factor in lowering the cost of automobiles. Most modern automobile finishes are put on with spray guns and the whole job has been reduced to a quick, efficient science. New finishes on old cars are applied by the same methods as used in the factory.

Good afternoon Pastor David. Hey John. Welcome everybody to a random moment with Pastor David unfiltered. You know Pastor July 26th we celebrated 41 years and we did a we did a an unfiltered regarding this. But you know recently it seems like as we hit the 41st year mark at our church here just looking within our church there's some amazing and great things going on that for me has been very very very blessed. I mean we had our our 4th of July baptism. We had our our 41st anniversary celebration. Different things going on Pastor within the 41 years it's just been for me it's just been an amazing experience. And uh and you know I was thinking about this even before we came on camera here thinking about just some of the things and for the people that attend our church you'll see this you know the the the great work the Lord's doing here and the Lord's doing great works in other churches of course but because this is our church and this is our program I wanted to share a little bit get your feedback a little bit that you know 41 years is not an easy accomplishment and you know unfortunately there's been some churches that haven't been able to last that long and yet God's been gracious in our ministry here that we're able to push through and move forward and you know Pastor looking back at these 41 years and and seeing the Lord do an amazing work here does that is that exciting in a way where you're like wow the Lord still continue to do a work here and and continuing to I mean pastor we have some different things going on matter of fact remember our power went out yeah power went out our church stepped up the unity yeah I've never seen that before I've been attending here a long time uh different ministry the various ministries we had our women's ministry they had their pure work hundreds of women uh and our men's ministry just the different things that we see going on for me it's exciting it is to me too and uh and so you know as as you're as we plug through these 41 years that you've been plugging through and you look at what the Lord's continuing to do what what response do you get from that pastor well you know I I see that ministry is like planting seeds and sometimes some seeds sprout quickly and sometimes it takes a while for them to produce and and I think we've seen that here in this fellowship there are there are those things that in the originally in the church when we we first began back in 1981 there are things that are are just now uh showing the strength of the fruit that they that they bore you know when we first began for example um in 81 I didn't uh I did not start a woman's ministry through my wife Marie I didn't start a woman's ministry for a year uh I concentrated on trying to raise up men to teach men in in in mentoring classes and all to to learn to serve the Lord together and and so that fruit shows itself in the various things that we see taking place right now that has shown itself in the um volunteerism of our men you know we've had uh for example we we're having work done right now on our chapel and uh our chapel um needed new carpeting and painting and all of that well just as last week you had 20 men or so show up from our men's ministry the leaders really and they they tore all that they brought all took all the chairs out of the chapel the chapel has over 780 chairs you know and and they came and removed them all so that that the carpet could be replaced that these men did it in like an hour and a half or two hours these these are the things that our men do for us they show the fruit that we've been working in their life for a long time you know sadly there are fellowships churches that don't have men's ministries they don't have many equipped men on their own they'll go out on their own which is a good thing and they'll go to a restaurant or whatever gather together and they teach one another but sometimes those men are teaching other men things concerning the Lord are really not seasoned or knowledgeable of scripture and so they give their opinions or ideas and they talk amongst themselves without anybody there who has a substantial knowledge and ability to communicate scripture to make sure that that at least the conversations are edifying and correct they many times they don't they just have somebody there who feels like he likes to talk and and uh he ends up giving information that is just not correct and that happens often enough to be a bit dangerous and but they they don't have any any men's ministry in their church so they gather together that that happens or there are women's ministries that I'll never forget uh for example a woman who said to me at a woman's retreat many years ago now but it's still true to this day how she started crying when she was speaking to me and she said um I'm just so blessed she says I don't go to this fellowship I go to another one but we would never be able to have an entire Friday Saturday and Sunday retreat because if if the women are gone on Sunday church will not happen you know so I've heard those things and so yeah I think over the years pouring into our fellowship the uh the understanding that we're equipped to do works of service that that teaching is to develop discernment so we're not to toss to and fro by every wind of doctrine and slight cunning of men that we should be growing up in our maturity well our maturity is not just in our capacity to explain scripture our maturity is in our capacity to explain and do scripture right and so that's been the emphasis here so for 41 years we've been doing that and I think at this moment in this season I don't think I've been quite as refreshed John to be honest with you as I have been lately because I'm above that age to begin wondering am I to hand the reins of this ministry over to some somebody else who has energy vision and capacity to to move us on until Jesus returns I I don't have a sense of that at this moment as a matter of fact I have a reignition of certain passions and things that that I had in the original days when I was 30 years old when this church began and so I am I'm feeling very good about it I believe you know and this is let me brag on our on our people here I believe our worship ministry is maturing and it's very edifying it's not a a show we don't take auditions to try and get the very best or plunder other people's ministries so we get theirs and we raise them up here and the ones we've raised up here are are anointed of the Lord and and so I'm blessed by the worship ministry I'm blessed by every every element in our children's ministry and in every element we have 40 or 50 different ministries that are transpiring and and every one of those ministries that I I can see and look at observe I'm I'm pleased in many ways in its direction and the fruit and so yeah you know we did celebrate our 41st anniversary and I thank God for 41 years that he's given me permission to and and and empowered me but I as I've shared with you many times John I I couldn't have done anything by myself I needed God's help obviously but I needed his men and his women and God has supplied those men and women and and yes some of us are growing older thank you Jesus I mean you know but like Caleb you know Caleb's looking at the promised land and he turns and says give me a mountain you know I don't want to just take my ease I want to I want to go I want to go on I want to do things as unto the Lord and he was 80 years old so you know I you know you can have churches that are filled with men who say oh there are giants there are giants in the land it's too hard for us and we're grasshoppers in our own side as well as in their side or you can have men like Joshua and Caleb who say you know what I still have strength I'm not I'm not done yet give me something to do for God and we have quite a number of men here John and women here that have that heart and so God has blessed Marie and me so much John we you know I can't go out have coffee with everybody I can't spend a lot of time on a personal level it just doesn't happen we we still have a good amount of people in our fellowship in spite of COVID in spite of the fear that many people felt through it and even now the fear that some people have to this day and the constant brainwashing of the of the press that oh we're gonna it's gonna be worse and you gotta and these people are believing the press even though they can see with their eyes that this is not taking place it's not taking place and there's some things coming out right now that are demonstrating that much of what was being said indeed was intended to be error to keep people in bondage we're seeing that right now it's coming out in the news not all news sources will speak of it but it's there and it's real and so I think it's time for the church to re gather I think it's time for those who've been you know afraid to go to church or whatever don't want to come into a church service it's time to return you know we have people in our fellowship that most definitely it's time for them to return it's not good that man should be alone they need to have fellowship they need to have a place to to to receive communion you know not just eat a piece of bread and drink some juice while we're doing it here they need to come they need to be involved in and I hope that they come back soon because we miss them and they're missing out on what God wants to do in their life amen and yes and you know pastor recently even before the we celebrated the 41 years it just seems something seems different with your teachings I talked to my wife I talked to other guys in the church and you know they'll they'll text the pastors on fire and I'll have the you know it and and there has been a a depth as to your teachings that I've it just seems to get deeper is more the time I'm here at the church what has changed nothing I think what what has if anything could be looked at and say oh you're doing things different differently I would say this I would say that I I want to give the word of God in in a deeper way than than before I'm I'm wanting to to add adds depth to the teaching I'm not hurrying through the passage I'm not giving just a lot of stories or illustrations which is the way I teach anyway but I'm trying to fill it with more biblical information than ever before and I'm being refreshed on my own through these things and so I would just say that the Lord has placed it on my heart to to give more in my previous days I've always used notes and and I would use in my previous ministry years three pages of notes now I use eight pages or nine pages because I'm wanting to give more depth to and information and I think you see that plus there's a a sense of of a purpose I I know that my time is coming to an end I know that should the Lord return we go with him but should he should he not come in in my lifetime I'm aware of that and so I kind of feel more and more that 51 years of following Christ 49 years of teaching the word I want to pour it into people and if they're willing to come and hear a Bible study you know they'll get one here some places you can go and you'll get entertained in one form or another sometimes the things that you're being entertained by are actually biblical sometimes a lot of times are not a lot of times it's just the opinion of the pastor or his pet doctrine or is his fears or ideas or whatever you know everybody has his own way of approaching how he how he ministers to his his sheep but I have this knowledge that that I will give an account of myself he was 13 7 tells us that and you know and also well you know James chapter 3 verse 1 various places you know we're to be careful what we give to people and all and so from my perspective I'm more and more inclined towards being very careful not to give people some something that that may agitate them and infuriate them and then you know provoke them and then I use them as my illustration to tell others of how wonderful I am and that happens that happens I want them to walk out of here saying how wonderful Christ is I really do and I've always done that I mean that's why we have on our on our in our sanctuary the words we would see Jesus I want I want to to be invisible so that they might see the one who gives life and that's what it is John it's just more at this time than ever I just know that that my time is coming to an end and I don't want to to just fizzle out I want to I want to go out in with with a lot of power and love that's what I want and it's and it's been evident in your teachings I mean our Wednesday night messages last week on fathers who and then this last week on Sunday and what a great opportunity as you as you invited our church family to come back to church you know church family Wednesday night tomorrow night we have service and as we're just discussing a little bit about what you're talking what you're preparing I would really encourage you guys to come on out tomorrow night and join us in worship and in God's word you know pastor thank you so much again you know it's 41 years that you've been you and Marie have been faithful to our church and and faithful and shepherding us and one of the things that's interesting that you point out really quickly is that you guys must have known that there was going to be a perseverance that you may or may not see the fruit and now you're seeing the fruit in a lot of ways and the years of perseverance that you and Marie have done let your life down for our church and and but empowered by the Holy Spirit to do so you know I'll be honest with you and we will close with this because we're going long but I'll tell you this John um in the end in the end and I don't know what to expect I only want to hear well done um there are things that you have poured into somebody's life that you will not live to see the fruit of you just won't because Jesus will take you home there's nothing bad about that but you won't see it but that fruit lasts right so for me that's how I do ministry I I believe that the day is going to come when I go home but my reward follows and uh so yeah we've seen our ups and downs I've seen our church three times the size of it that it is now I've I've seen it from nothing I've seen it grow to something I've seen it go back to hardly anything especially with COVID then I've seen it slowly building back so I don't do it for the numbers I I do it for the fruit and and whatever that fruit may be I want it to last that's the way it works pastor thank you so much for sharing with us and and I jokingly said on our 41st anniversary 41 more years I won't even be here no I don't think I'll even be here next year probably not next week oh thank you pastor thank you guys for tuning in god bless you we look forward to seeing you on Wednesday evening at 7 p.m. come out and join us and then again we have services on sunday 8 30 and 10 45 yep thank you pastor again god bless you guys for tuning in and we'll see you soon


Who's going to talk about seaside and fishing, what was one community current action? So, yeah, indeed I'm going to talk about seaside, which is a new key exchange protocol that we designed in Tenerif, or at least started designing in Tenerif together with Tania Lana, where we martin, Dale, Lorenz, Pani, and Jost, Verenas, or Verenas, you never know how to pronounce his last name. And we called it, so it's called CSIDH, but I prefer to pronounce it like seaside because it was in Tenerif. And so, if you noticed, at the back we have Alice and Bob on the islands. So Eve is sitting on the beach, Eve's dropping. So Alice starts shouting to Bob, but then Bob realizes that Eve is sitting there. And so then Alice decides, okay, let's agree on a commutative group acting on a set X. So she shouts that to the other end. Bob, okay, yes, he's considering. Oh, actually we've got to say we also need a base element of the group. Of the set, sorry, on which the group is acting. Bob got it. Then they both sample a random element of the group, A and B. You will know this. Alice computes the action of A on this base element X0. Bob says the same with this B on X0. Then they shout this to each other. Then they both compute. So Alice received the action of B on X0 and she lets A act on that. And Bob does the other way around. And both they compute the action of A composed with B on X0. And Eve counts Eve's drop entity. Okay, so this is a general mechanism which you might recognize from the Diffie-Hellman protocol. And indeed, this is the most famous instantiation. So here to stay in the formalism of before, the group acting is the invertible integer modulo n. And the set on which it's acting is actually the base group in Diffie-Hellman, which is basically group of order n. And the action, so this star that we have, this is an exponentiation. So the action of A on G is G to the power A, as you are used to in classical Diffie-Hellman. So this is from 1976. But in a post quantum context, as we all know in the meantime, this is not secure because there is this polynomial time attack by Scholl designed in 1994. So actually there's only one other instantiation known of this protocol. And this is due to Covenier. And what does it do? Well, it's a bit more advanced mathematical side, but just the idea. We then have a group acting on a set. And the group here is the class group of an imaginary quadratic order. And the set is the set of elliptic curves having some pre-scribed endomorphism ring. And the action, this is the most important message is isogenic computation. So the action of an element on a set is computing the image under an isogenic. So I said this is due to Covenier from 1997. This was rediscovered by Stolbanov and Rostovtsev in 2006. So now typically it's attributed to the three of them. And what about post-quantum? Well, here there's also a sub-exponential attack. So it's not as good as you might hope. There is an L1-1-1 algorithm by Kupperberg because it translates into a version of the hidden subgroup problem. But this is not disastrous. This sub-exponential quantum attack doesn't stop us from having very short keys. So 64 kilobytes. This is a factor shorter than, for instance, SIDH, which has more or less the shortest keys of all post-quantum submissions. It's also non-interactive. This is a feature that none of the submissions have. But the disadvantage is that it's unacceptably slow. It takes several minutes for a single key exchange. And this is even incorporating recent speed-ups that were found by DeFeo, Kiefer and Schmitt. So what did we do? Well, we followed the same layout. We only changed the right-most entry. So instead of ordinary elliptic curves, we considered super-singular elliptic curves. Are you sure? 64 kilobytes? Bites. Bites. Sorry. Bites. 64 bytes. 64 bytes. Sorry. Bites. Yeah. That's a very rightful remark. And instead of looking at the full endomorphism ring, you have to look at the endomorphisms that are defined off the base field. And then this slowness disappears. You can make fast implementations. We have approved concept implementation that is not even fully optimized yet. And there's one round in 50 milliseconds. Furthermore, there's an easy key validation. So there's no need for Fuji Saki Okamoto transforms like in an SIDH. And I want to stress that it's not SIDH, despite the fact that it's about super-singular isogenes and DeFi helman. So unfortunately, that name was taken. And that's why we opt for commutative super-singular isogenes, DeFi helman, or seaside. Our article appeared on e-print this morning. So please have a look if you're interested.


secret. Okay. Two things. Yeah. So what was this that you're working on? It's kind of neat. So we, you know, we have CO2 sensors, which are wonderful. But we saw from Sincerion they're coming in with a new sensor upgrade to the SCD 30. It's the SCD 41. It's 11 more. This is a very small CO2 temperature and humidity sensor. I think it's a true CO2 sensor. And it's just very tiny. So we thought we would make a little semi-QT breakout for it. It's I squared C. And even better, they wrote a driver for Arduino and Python. So it'll be like super ready to go. Very fast. Okay. And then you sent this off? I sent off a panel. Look, because I no longer doing RP2040 stuff that I don't talk about, I can show off my panels. I couldn't show like the panels before, because I was always like an RP2040 board that I was like, I can't show what this is because it's not out. But now, now we're, or you know, other secrets. But this one is there's no secrets here. So you take this on me. So you can check these out, see what we're working on, maybe guess what some of these products are. Maybe you can make some good guesses. All right. And we have a video. This is a little bit of a recap from what was on the show and tell. So this is a, this will be maybe the first time some people have ever seen it. Other top secrets. Do you want to talk about what this is? Oh, yeah. This is a pocket chip. So it's a, if you people remember the pocket chip, it was a little nice handheld. There was a module and then they made this handheld that held the module and they actually closed shop a couple of years ago. But I really missed it. And I thought like, you know, it would be great to have one that was a Raspberry Pi. And so when the compute modules came out, I was like, dude, we have to make a pocket chip. And I saw that Timon was doing stuff with a compute module. So I was like, well, you already got compute modules, stuff going on. You know how to use these things. We want to contract you to design a pocket chip, a little handheld computer with a TFT screen. And this is not the final physical version. Also, there's no TFT screens on planet Earth right now, due to the part shortage. So this is in development. And I have some ideas. But what I think is really neat is he used this I squared C, the keyboard converter to save us a USB port. So the kernel reads the I squared C keyboard, it doesn't have a USB plug, which means a USB plug is available at the top for your hack and pleasure. Thank you. Thank you.
