It's great to do this on prompt you because then you can just follow my lead because I know you'll you you'll get it So I Despite the fact that I have a lot of videos. I'm not the most social person. Actually this guy.   Yes So today I am going to be in a crowd which is not as comfortable But we're here for some business B2B networking because there's a speaker today at a business networking event And one thing I talk about though is everyone says how do you generate leads? How do you generate good leads is probably I should more qualify that and it's not through LinkedIn cold balls No, there's all these people think these oh, this is the secret sauce this script will do it ad targeting Right you get some great price shoppers people who are running around looking for an IT company on Facebook ads Are they price shoppers? They Facebook ads are price shoppers, but here's the funny thing How many of you have gotten one of those scripts and been the recipient of one? What do you think about it? Yeah, I think they're awful. I if you have a generic script that you took no time to research me about I'm just kind of puts you in the spam box and you'll never be able to message me again Right that's my general rule for those people if they took the time. Hey Tom I see you have a YouTube channel and they take some level or I see you have an MSP business I looked at your last blog post and they know something about me. That's an actual oh good way to open a script You can build a relationship But in person people buy from people they like they kind of have to physically have some trust levels with you And that's what we're about to go do is build some relationship Build some relationships. It's to know like and trust about it Tom, right? Yeah, they have to know and like you before they can actually trust you so Understanding that you on LinkedIn is a great way to connect with people But building that relationship actually talking with people having conversations face-to-face Sometimes on the phone, but face-to-face gets you the best result. So we're gonna go do that now Let's go. Yeah videos about it. We better do it.  Crowds aren't fun bacon Bacon I got my plate. Yeah, so that's the first thing we got to do is get some food I'll actually show you though the I'm gonna set my camera down in here People sitting in here. I'll talk to the person who organizes this because I know he'll like being on video We'll cut here you have to sit in the front row and the reason why is because that's so you can you know be the center of Attention and face your fear of being uncomfortable. Matter of fact, Brett who's holding the camera now is sitting in a front row as well Hi there.   So the yeah, so we'll get we'll get to that in a second. I'll find some people that don't mind being a camera It is the next morning and I did not have any time to film anything else yesterday in terms of that event I was at so yes, it's the next day I always start out with these goals like hey I want to show more about networking and this is where it can be a little bit challenging To try to bring some of this content, but at least I can tell you what happened So my goal was to talk to mark did not have time to talk to mark because as I was there And you know like I said I sat in the front row People talked and etc. Etc. I had some good conversations with people matter of fact We got in a whole discussion about business process and procedure That's important that I bring that up because I didn't spend my time geeking out talking about tech Now that is really what I like to do obviously and hell That's why I have this YouTube channel But when you want to go and get leads be to be leads be to be networking You have to go be personable come out of your shell a little bit and you know Have interactions with people we actually talked about personal finance with one person who Worked in the mortgage and talked about getting your credit score. Yeah, this was actually very interesting conversations not a subject I know a ton about a little bit, you know, I've got a good credit score But having these personal conversations and from that They run around handing out cards to people I don't like to be that person who runs around and just dishes out the cards, you know Like you're dealing a poker game. That's just not my style and a lot of people are very turned off about that I will tell you they take the card and they go well, I don't know why he gave me his card I don't know anything about the person or why I should even Interact with them, but because I had a few people who you know, you they know what I do They know I do technology we landed a very good potential deal which I sent an email on and across my fingers I gotta do some follow-up on that Another person with a mortgage company needs some small office support so smaller deal, but hey a good potential there But the other thing that came out of this and this is why I didn't have any more time to film was I got a message on Facebook now Yes, Facebook you can convert leads and I said that very beginning video that you don't get good leads But that's because I wasn't using Facebook ads. I got a message So one of the things I've tried to curate on Facebook is having a good circle of people that I follow or become friends with and many of them own businesses and a Particular person that I have been friends with for a couple years. They've seen my posts several times about wiring and things like that Now this is not an ad this is not some advertisement He'd seen for it, but because he was looking he said hey I've seen you post about wiring you guys do office wiring building blah blah blah and by the way one of the things about my Personal Facebook.  I would like to come bid my office. I'm like sure and they don't have a dedicated IT staff Or they don't know anyone who does wiring, but they're a successful company And they're growing quite fast and they've realized they need a little bit more technology. So I happen to be Two miles from where I was at at the event. So they said how soon you'd be here I said I could be there in like, you know 15-20 minutes Which cut things a little bit short in terms of my plans for filming at that event, but went over there Ended up shaking hands right away and a rough estimate. I got to send over the formal estimate This is back in the morning is something I have to do now because from there I went to several other events and then I kind of forgot there was even a camera in my car So I didn't really film any of those other events, but they also are less worth filming But this is kind of what I'm talking about when it comes to I kind of get excited when I do get on my show Kind of kind of stays on a roll where I'm going here going there and everything goes really well And I feel good about it It's you know, it's hard to get away from behind the keyboard to generate leads everyone's looking for some You know secret conversion sauce of I will put this ad on Facebook LinkedIn or this cold script will Bring me those great B2B clients and I think it works great when we did Facebook ads and Google ads one years ago And we haven't done them in a couple years But we were doing them to gather retail clients when we did the retail store and we're really pushing towards it We've watched the margins on a retail go down so low in this area that they weren't worth running ads for it Just wasn't the clientele we wanted so we kind of quit doing it I've not found that it was ever good for the B2B side because I just don't see in case in point the person who messes me on Facebook They weren't googling, you know wiring that would have been a Last-ditch effort is starting to Google that and we do get people who are price shoppers And they're obviously not the ones you're really looking for where they're spending their time trying to find the lowest bidder on everything and We that's not us so I can tell you that right away We are not the cheapest people when it comes to doing things and those are not the kind of clients You really want you take them if you have to have them if you really need the business But as you grow as a company, it's always the goal to have the clientele you want that are a better fit a better match for you And that B2B that more personal touch when you go out and network and leave yourself from behind the keyboard Go shake some hands is substantially better. It's you know, it's one of the ways that we've worked I've been doing this for like I said a long time And I want to default back to behind the keyboard all the time, but I feel good that I did leave my I don't know that I'm an introvert, but someone who just doesn't want to be in a crowd of people I don't mind standing in front of a car. I don't want to be in them and But it's worth it. That's you know, people ask how do you generate leads? How do you generate leads? That's how that is our big jobs that we do some of the larger projects some of the best paying projects Have come from that B2B lead generation YouTube's a whole nother thing I've talked about before and that's not for everyone so to speak I'm not saying you can't do it But you have to really think about a strategy around YouTube and it's it's a long journey It's a difficult one and it's required just to get to where I'm at me posting almost 900 videos to get To the point where YouTube generates leads and actually brings us quite a bit of Wonderful clients that we've met and things like that It's it hasn't exceeded what we do on the B2B side locally here But it's quickly racking up and rivaling up to that which is also pretty cool So that's my thing for the B2B leads and how we generate them And why you should probably get out from behind your keyboard once in a while and quit looking for that ultimate solution I mean if you have a software product, you're in a different category You're not trying to do that and you're trying to get pinched people to convert that way Sure that that whole that's a whole different dynamics a different type of business But what I'm specifically talking about is how do we get good B2B IT leads the best ones come still the best Come from all these interactions meetings and things like that I got my fingers crossed because I emailed one of the people and it's four locations They're looking for a new MSP because their current MSP is making a lot of mistakes And so I'm hoping to get that deal if I get it Maybe I'll do a video about and talk more about that particular if that all lands But that's what I'm most excited about that came out of it Just because I sat next to the person who also sat in the front row That's they they never met me before and we had a great conversation and Crossed my fingers that will get all their locations and the MSP deals it would be a pretty sizable deal I'd be pretty happy about it and they were super nice people will the person there and she does She's not the only decision-maker So I only I have another meeting where I got to win over more people But you know, I don't mind I don't mind doing that but going out and sitting down and talking with people face-to-face That's how you close it and I definitely enjoy it That's the part I do enjoy sitting down there and talking about the services because what better subject than talk about the things We do thanks and thank you for making it to the end of the video If you like this video, please give it a thumbs up if you'd like to see more content from the channel Hit the subscribe button and hit the bell icon if you like YouTube to notify you when new videos come out If you'd like to hire us head over to Lawrence systems calm fill out our contact page and let us know what we can Help you with and what projects you'd like us to work together on if you want to carry on the discussion head Or to forums dot Lawrence systems calm where we can carry on the discussion about this video other videos or other tech topics in general Even suggestions for new videos.

When Jesus was speaking to his disciples after giving them power, the disciples power to cast out demons, he says, don't rejoice over this. He said rejoice that your names have been written in. And the word that's used there is the Greek word angigrapti. That word is what we call the perfect tense, which means it's a completed action in the past. Well, when were their names written? Well, according to the Bible, they were written before the foundation of the earth. And so that is something that we can rejoice that because we are believers, it indicates that our names have been written long ago. Guys, that is something that Jesus says that we should rejoice in. Amen.


Subunit 1.3, NASA's approach to systems engineering. The NASA systems engineering engine has 17 activities for system design, realization, and management. We're going to walk through them so you get an idea of how that works. The concept here is that we have a process and you see it on the chart that takes you from initial idea, needs, goals, and objectives all the way through to a final system. So you kind of come up with some idea. I want to study planets around other suns or whatever. And now I can go all the way through and decide do I need to build a telescope to do that? Do I need to fly a satellite? Put it together and get it to operate. So this flow is going to show you how we walk through that whole process. And so the goal here is that if you look at the left hand side, the system design process, that leg of this engine is going to go through and really describe how we go about taking that high level thing that you'd like to accomplish with the system and breaking it down into lower and lower level requirements to make sure that you really understand how each small piece of the satellite that you're going to put together has to operate. What it needs to do, how it needs to perform. So when you look at the first few processes, you see requirements definition process. And so here is where you're getting together at the beginning and you're starting to think through how does the system need to operate? What are the requirements? So if you're talking about a power system, how much power do I need to be able to provide the satellite to operate? How much propulsion? How does the propulsion system need to work? So you're trying to define at lower and lower levels of detail what the requirements are for that system. So again, you started out with a broad concept of what you want to do. Now you've got to really start to give more and more details to be able to get to a point where you're going to actually be able to build this craft and make sure it can do what it's supposed to do. So as you walk through the left hand side of the process, you're decomposing, and this is kind of the critical part of system engineering, right, is that you've got this really hard problem to solve, this hard spacecraft to build. You want to break it down into really manageable parts and you can then assign it to a specific engineer that's really an expert in electrical power systems or propulsion and say, hey, could you please go off and find me the right way to design something that can meet these requirements? So those first few steps are where you're working and looking at an integrated system and trying to go down into the lower and lower levels of detail to really understand what each part of the system is going to need to do to make it operate and meet its needs and goals and objectives, those kind of high-level things you've set out. After you've defined your requirements to see the next part of this, three and four, look at dividing a technical solution. So it's great to have a set of requirements, but that by itself isn't going to give you a spacecraft, right? You need to start to go off and start to do drawings and concept analysis of how do I take those requirements and turn them into a system. I don't yet know what kind of battery I'm going to buy to provide power, but I've got to figure out, oh, I need a battery for the spacecraft, so I've got to do a design where I've included a battery. Gee, I'm going to need thrusters for the spacecraft to keep it in orbit, so I've got to define a propulsion system and look at how that might be designed. And so I'm starting to do some concept of how it's going to look and what it's going to do in operations, and that's what's this next step of defining a technical solution. So steps three and four, take those requirements, and again, they're starting to go into lower and lower levels of detail about the functions that need to be performed, the systems and subsystems and components that are going to be needed to perform those functions, and starting to lay all that out in some hierarchy so that, again, you can really understand at the lowest level what are all the things you're going to need to do to make the system come to fruition, because as you finish up this one side of the system design process leg of the engine, if you scoot all the way over to the bottom of the other side where it says product realization processes, that leg, you're going to kind of walk up that leg, that's where you're going to actually take that lowest level of detail of design and you're going to take that lowest level set of requirements, and now you're going to go off into the marketplace and say, are there thrusters? Is there a battery that can meet my requirements at that lowest level? It has to provide a certain amount of power. It has to be a certain size, a certain mass. I can only afford to have it be so big.  Maybe I have to build my own, because maybe there's none available in the marketplace. And so this right-hand side of the tree or the engine, as you're coming up that side of the engine, you're looking at, okay, I've got to buy the lowest level components. I've got to make sure that I can verify, and verification is going to be a big part of system engineering, is that when you get those lower level components, you have to make sure that if you looked at the requirement for that component, that the one you bought can actually perform the way it's supposed to perform. Does it put out the right amount of power? Does it not get too hot? Does it operate the mass that I needed? You know, wherever those requirements were, you've got to make sure that you can verify that that was met. So as you come up the right-hand side of the engine, what you'll notice here is that you're going to start off with small components, and by the end of that side, as you get up towards the top to the product transition processes, you're going to actually be building up your entire system. And along the way, at each point, you're going to verify that the requirements that you levied on the system can all be met. So again, if it's a battery at the lowest level that I purchased, does the battery do what it's supposed to be able to do? Then when I put it into the power system, does the power system for the spacecraft do what it's supposed to do? Then when I put the power system into the spacecraft, does it do all the things it's supposed to do? And so I'll be verifying all the way along as I build the system up to higher and higher levels of maturity that it's still able to meet all the requirements that I levied on it. And remember, as you walk down that other leg of the engine, you were levying those requirements at lower and lower and lower levels. So now you're just going to verify as you move up in maturity that those requirements are being met. So there's a connection between the left-hand side and the right-hand side, the definition of a system and what it needs to do, and the actual production of a system and getting it to operational state. So what's the glue between that? And that's where system engineering is right in the middle, technical management processes, right? What are all the things you knew to make sure that as you design the system and as you produce it, that you're making sure that this is going to be a realized product that's going to be operational, meet all of its requirements, come in on budget and schedule. And so in the middle there, steps 10 through 17, you can see that the engine really goes through and says that, okay, we've got these management or oversight processes that have to happen to make the system successful. And that's where system engineers typically play their major role. So the technical planning process, step 10, where you're starting to work on making sure that all the schedules are laid out and that all the things that need to happen to really lay out this technical work that needs to be done and how the team's going to work together and all the functions that have to be performed to make the system come to fruition, that's where all those things are happening. You see in the middle, technical control processes, steps 11 through 15, requirements management, interface management. So requirements management meaning that you want to make sure that the glue is there to check that everyone's using the same set of requirements and that the requirements are controlled. Because let's say I'm the power engineer and I say, gee, I can't find a battery that meets the requirements. I'm going to go ahead and change the requirements and make it so that the battery can produce less energy. That works for me because I could find a better battery. Well, on the flip side, you might be impacting a lot of other people who are off designing assuming they're going to get a certain amount of power from that battery. So that's where this middle part of the process comes in handy and that's where system engineers are really in charge, just saying, well, wait a minute, I can't allow you to change requirements for the battery because I have to first look and make sure that there's no system-wide impacts that need to be considered. And so that's part of the processes you see in the middle. The next one is interface management, just as critical. As you decompose any problem into smaller and smaller pieces to be assigned out to everyone to work, you have to worry about all the interfaces now. Will that battery connect up to all the other parts of the power system? Is it going to have the right types of connections? Will the battery connect up to the computer system? It's going to operate the battery and charge and discharge it. There's a lot of interfaces there between different people and different workgroups. So interface management becomes key, again, to the system engineering team, is that you have to be the ones who maintain those interfaces, clearly document them and make sure that everyone's working to that common interface so that when you do bring the system together on the right-hand side and the battery gets put in and you put the solar rays onto it and you hook up all the computers, everything's going to operate properly. So interface management is key. Technical risk management is the next one. So along the way as you're developing the system, whether it's in defining requirements and doing design or whether it's in the maturing of the final product, you're going to have risks involved. It's the things that keep you up at night, it's the things that the team is worried about and they're worried that if this was to happen, something was to happen, it might prohibit us from being successful. And so the goal of the system engineering team sitting in the middle of this chart is to say that all along the way, all during this process of maturing the system, the team is there to say, wait a minute, what's keeping us up at night? What are we worried about? And let's go through and make sure that we're managing that set of worries in a good way. So if I can at least describe to you what I'm worried about. Maybe I'm worried that the battery team is going to come in behind schedule because they're having a hard time picking a battery, there's none available on the market. So I'm really worried about that. Let's define that and how worried am I? And if I'm really worried about it, shouldn't I be doing something? Maybe I should be proactively bringing in some new talent to assess the situation, going off and looking at other options that don't use batteries. They use a different technology for storing energy. What are the alternatives? And so risk management is where you have system engineers in the middle of this process all throughout trying to figure out what can we do to make sure that any ideas of people that anything that people are worried about, you know, any risks that they perceive can be mitigated or addressed in a way that it's not going to prohibit us from getting done on schedule and on time and getting the product to perform as we want it to. So other areas here are steps 14, configuration management. So configuration management where the system engineering group is really trying to make sure that there is a baseline along the way. A baseline being one controlled set of requirements, one controlled design that everyone is working to, whether you're the power engineer or the computer engineer. When you go to the drawings or when you go to the spacecraft requirements documents, you get the same set of information. So configuration management and making sure that everyone works from the same baseline at all times is really key so that people don't start to move in different directions, maybe using an old version of a drawing or made their own updates to a drawing and they're using those instead of the baseline. So technical data management, all of the other parts of this process that need to be controlled, all the data that's flowing about trade studies and assessments that are being done. Somebody has to manage that so that it's all in one place so that anybody on the team can go look at what's being done, what assessments have been done in the past, what lessons have been learned by the project that's just maturing. And so all of that data has to be managed along the way. The last couple of steps here you see the technical assessment process where along the way you're going to come in and make sure that the project is maturing technically and doing assessments of that maturity. So there's all kinds of peer reviews and other kinds of reviews that the engineering team will use to bring in some people maybe who aren't working on the project day-to-day to look at the design and say, gee is this power system design really coming along as it should? Are there some issues here that an outsider might see that people on the team might have overlooked? And so there's a whole assessment process that's going on where the engineers are kind of going, the system engineers and maybe bringing in peers to look at and make sure that the system continues to mature and stays on track. So the next one here, the last one is step 17, the technical decision analysis process. And so this is a process of making sure that as the system matures if you're doing some trade studies or analysis of alternatives that those are coming to fruition and decisions are being made in a timely manner. So I work on a project right now where we have to make a lot of decisions where in phase B and during that decision-making process if we were to spend more time than necessary on any one decision we would fall behind in our development process. But on the other hand, we are hesitant to make decisions too quickly where we might not have done enough analysis before we make the decision or where we might not have enough people involved from different subsystem areas to do an assessment. So we really want to be cautious, but you really have to make sure that you understand what are all the things we're looking at, what are all the areas where we're trading off maybe one option versus another and when's the right time to make decisions so that we can keep this whole project on track. And so again, all of these steps, steps 10 through 17, the technical management, you think of the word management and you don't think of system engineering, well it is. System engineering is really a management function as much as it is a technical function to make sure that everything is coordinated to get to a point where you have a mature system that can be put into operation.

back for more exozeros content in this video we're going to discuss the ranking of all synergy heroes but before that if you want updated exozeros content please hit the subscribe button down below. Hey guys before we start with our rankings so we'll have to discuss this first this is going to be a choice fate quarry happening tomorrow so it's for the synergy banner so you have here synergy one which is jenai monica and wilks and you have synergy two april leafy and nika so only uh what do you call this only even is not here so this will drop tomorrow that is why we're having a ranking event today so basically you only have six choices and who are you going to choose will depend on you and i will help you along the way based on our rank system okay so um i'll not dive into this but gold fate core will have a 0.5 chance which is only april and jenai and the black fate cores are the rest so 0.7 percent so we're here now with the ranking for our idol or synergy uh heroes so to start off with this ranking i will actually start with number seven number seven is actually nika okay so nika is actually number seven on our list because of her lack of additional abilities so i'll i'll go through her passive first so little star is actually um a standard for synergy two so special at the beginning of the round reduces receive damage by 10 for each living ally except the caster she reduces up to 40 so this standard among nika and uh and what do you call this and leafy and also she has her thrust two as well no significant change however in her s1 which is soundbomb and also her s2 which is gatling music okay i'll just run through what it does and how it's really important so for her s2 it deals 225 percent damage to all enemies and for her s1 it's actually a 187 percent damage to one enemy afflict shock for four turns so i would say shock is actually better if it's in a aoe skill i wish they should have reversed this one um she doesn't bring much to the table she was actually the first to be to be to be given out uh when synergy two came out but she actually remains at the seventh of our list so for our sixth actually i i got lucky uh with leafy i actually you know um pulled a couple of black uh fatecore tickets and actually i have two leafies by by accident so i didn't pull for her banner um but we'll have to discuss her why she's better than nika so again she has little stars same as nika so this is a standard passive for all synergy two uh all three of them um but for her for her s1 it's a deals 63 percent damage to all enemies and it's a damage over time spell this is what i mean which is actually better dot for an aoe you know aoe damage um except for first gardens of course um but this is actually better than nika's um ability for s1 and for s2 for a 367 piercing damage to one enemy so this is why leafy is actually better than nika because of her s2 being a single target but it's a piercing damage skill so that is our number six for this ranking and for our number five would be wilks so starting with the synergy one so um wilks is passive so it's kind of different she has mana absorbed as her standard passive but she has actually super stars so a flicks target with a tension mark for seven turns when the skill hits increases all damage over time on the target hero with a tension by 100 percent so this is a buff to damage over time damage okay and fan club afflicts target with anti fan mark when attacked um triggers double team for all living allies if the health of the enemy with anti fan is 30 percent or lower once every seven turns so this one is actually a good because because it gives you a free attack for a fan club and anti fan mark um again this is actually a staple super star in fan club is a staple for synergy one which includes wilks monica and jenai so let's take a look at her her s1 so increases attack of all allies with 20 percent of own uh for seven turns good to two mana not that much um just the 20 percent increase but it's a two mana skill which is kind of good and for her s2 so deals 25 percent damage to all enemies again it's a corrode spell dealing 15 damage every turn for two turns it's a it's actually a zero mana cost spell for s2 that is why she is actually ranked now at fifth with uh with leafy and anika behind her so let's go to our fourth so our fourth would be monica okay why is she fourth why is she better than wilks so basically again the same passive um as wilks except for focus fire so afflicts targets with the focus fire mark and decreases dodge for one round of basic attack gains mana when mark when a mark target dies okay so for s1 deals 187 percent damage to one enemy afflicts target with frostbite dealing 82 percent damage every turn it's a good two two mana skill and what is actually making her better than wilks is her s2 which deals 525 percent piercing damage to one enemy so this is why she's better than wilks um i'd actually i'd bring her versus wilks um in any team composition especially if i bring her with with uh with janai so this is actually she is actually ranked your fourth in this ranking for your third i'm afraid that eden won't you know won't be available tomorrow in tomorrow's um banner for fatecore choice but actually he is ranked third mostly because of his classification as a blue fatecore so if he is a blue fatecore um so grants buff to heroes from greenland so if you are a greenland fan or your team composition is of greenland actually you must get this guy so eden he's a guy by the way if you don't know if he's a guy or a girl he's a guy so he is actually is a is a must get he gives your your nation buffs combat power attack hp and defense the more copies you have of him the more you fusion copies of him the buffs actually get bigger so that is good about eden and for for his skills he's actually kind of decent same passive as as um synergy one heroes um for his s1 it's already a pierce damage 525 skill mana for for his s1 so good already then for his s2 deals 51 damage to all enemies it's a poison targets deals 31 damage for every two turns so again very good s1 and s2 so almost a utility it's just just just bad against against first garden so basically you you you eden is here because he's a blue fatecore in which he gives buffs to greenland heroes of that nation okay so we're down to our top two obviously the you know rank two would be april um april is ranked two because she is mostly dependent on on rachel's actually rachel's synergy with her because some of her skills are activated by rachel so let's go through her passive first so she has first aid two grants heal a hundred percent of attack to an ally they take damage and their health falls to 20 percent or less uh gains mana if own health is at 20 percent or less when triggered first passive sound fever increases attack speed of all back row allies by five um not that big of an increase but i'll take it anyway enemies are disheartened at the start of every turn resets upon moving to the next wave okay again this heart and is a unique passive by rachel so this is actually again a one of the qualifiers that you need to have rachel with her to fully maximize her okay her next passive is on core stage so heals hundred percent of health to all allies upon dying so when she dies she heals all of your allies by a hundred percent so that's actually her passive her third passive is fan service over time effect this heart and front row enemies receive 40 percent increased damage and all damage against the targets that are applied as piercing damage okay why is she good because also of this passive because this passive um is really for the stole meta in which you have a front row of tantalo you have talia there and you have iris so it would be easier to kill them once this is actually in play and also for her last passive again it's little stars it's the same as the other synergy two heroes so at the beginning of each round reduces receive damage by 10 percent for each living ally except the caster reduces up to 40 percent so april is actually good um she just needs rachel with her so they have to be disheartened the front row for fan service and sound sound fever also needs to have a disheartened to be activated okay for her s1 it's a four mana skill so it's music wave so deals 127 percent damage to all enemies the best about this skill is that it has silence for six turns and it's an aoe skill as long as they're disheartened again you have to make sure that your rachel is actually leveled up you have multiple copies of rachel so that you can apply this heart and rachel should have the highest attack of the enemies on the other side for disheartened to trigger so that is why again before you summon for april over the other characters make sure that you have your your what you call this your rachel already built up and actually in the mid tier ready in terms of build so that you could you could fully utilize rachel in this sense and her s2 is heals all allies by 90 percent of own maximum health cleanses all debuffs and damage over time effects on all allies and heals an additional 10 for each mana on the target so massive heals all around two heals and a cleanse so that is basically what you're getting for her s2 probably one one of the best heal spells in the game you don't need rachel for this one so if i may rate her at 1 to 5 she's kind of 3.5 in terms of overall utility without rachel um you can still bring her but again you would maximize her further if you have rachel on your team okay so she's rank two and now for our rank one we have mistress jenai so our supreme queen jenai is a rank one rank one hero for synergy number one because if we run through her passive she does not really depend on other heroes for her to pull off her you know her her passive let's start with uh she has mana absorbed four okay but we'll start with her other passive so unleash potential effects she deals damage 100 1000 piercing damage when attacking the enemy so that is actually her added unleash potential effect she has flow mana so back row allies permanently gain one mana she has charm afflicts enemies with lower attack than self with a charm mark and decreases their attack speed by 30 this is actually very crucial that is why tomorrow i'm going to go for jenai i'm going to go for copies of jenai i already have jenai on my team at fusion 2 um i like her mechanic it's just that she really has to be you know she really has to shine in terms of her attacks or her attacks that because she pairs well with shell and shell plays off her charm so again basically she's like the equivalent of rachel to april so she needs to shine the most for the other heroes um within her you know within her banner to shine so shell will not really shine if charm uh for jenai is that low and she cannot give her charm um to the enemies on the other side with lower attack than her so basically higher highest attack stat for jenai she has to have that also she has super stars so a flick target with attention mark for seven turns again increase all damage or time heroes so buff for damage over time or dot damage and fan is actually just extra attacks um anti-fan mark uh and double team triggers double team for all living allies if health of enemy with anti-fan mark is 30 percent or lower this is actually nice because it gives you a lot even if it's a basic attack it gives you a lot of extra damage during a you know during a they all have to deal attacks all five of them if if they're alive in your team so they deal basic damage to your opponents let's go to her s1 so s1 is deals 51 damage to all enemies over time effect poisons targets third deals 31 percent damage every turn for two turns so unleash potential effect special afflicts the target with bind for two turns when the attack hits so can't be removed so this is actually good for her she has bind um i think this was this is actually highlighted because my jenai actually is fully unleashed potential for her attack stamina inferred for defense tree that is why it's here in her stat um if you if you can see um april did not uh reflect any any potential stack but she has so anyway this is actually good because it actually wants you at niche potential she gives bind to your enemies for an aoe spell and this is actually one of her best spells so deals 178 78 percent damage to all enemies it's called last on core uh required managed five so poisons target deals 62 damage for every turn for four turns so be careful again when you're using her because she gives damage over time or over time effect damages or dot damage so that is she's actually very valuable um when it comes to her passive alone so again the the challenging thing for jenai is to increase her attacks stat versus your enemies on the other side so i'm going for tomorrow i definitely need her i was actually thinking of going for april since i only have one copy of april but again i don't want to you know to spread my my my resources too thin my priority is actually currently wasted red second would be both both uh both um stories and uh north bone frosty i already have a good jenai and a good um good shell they just need copies for fusion and also for their signature force i forgot i need i need jenai as well for for you know to level up her signature force for your stories as well so anyway guys um that is how it is so that those are the ranked or my rankings for synergy or idle so again this is just my opinion if you guys have any thoughts or comments please put them in the comment section below so if you haven't subscribed to my channel please do most of you or 85 percent of those who watch my videos have not subscribed yet and please do support my channel again i'll stay safe this is the warden and i'm out


What's up guys welcome to today's vlog today I got something extra cool for you guys this vlog is all about scissor over comb so we're gonna do it some scissor over comb work but I also want to go over which scissors are my favorite for scissor over comb and why I like that scissor so we worked with our 5.7 inch db 20 scissor from Mizutani which is my favorite scissor you guys know of all time and then I have my six and a half inch blacksmith fit scissor from Mizutani and the Mac Daddy of all scissors the seven inch blacksmith fit solid scissor from Mizutani in the titanium finish so I'm gonna go through show you guys which scissor I love the most for scissor over comb and also why I love it and also show you guys a little bit of technique as well so let's get started with the video if you have any comments you want to ask questions post them in the comment section below I read every single one of them and I appreciate them thank you guys for watching here we go alright guys we're gonna start off by smoothing out the hair anytime I'm gonna do some scissor over comb work I like to smooth out the hair use a comb to blow it dry now we're using a paddle brush this is our ergo paddle brush on the top so I use a 339 comb to smooth out the sides which gets the hair going in the right direction and then I go over it with the paddle brush now I'm using the brocato vibra straight iron to just smooth out the top at the end of this video we are gonna have an end result I'm gonna style it up but really that top is just a nice disconnection so I use the vibra straight iron I like this iron because it vibrates as it passes over the hair creates less damage on the hair and a much smoother feel as it pull as it drags over the hair the way that I got this disconnected top was everything was over directed completely back over top of the crown and it just pushes all that length and weight gives me short layers on top and length in the front you can definitely check out that video on that full haircut on our channel I'll link the description to that below now we're gonna get started with our three different scissors you can see the DB 20 the blacksmith fit and the blacksmith fit solid all different lengths so we're gonna start off with our DB 20 5.7 inch now this is my favorite scissor that I have the only reason I don't use this for scissor over comb is because of the length as you can see when you have a shorter scissor and you're working scissor over comb the comb is longer and all I can get in there is about an inch and a half space with the blade as I'm cutting so it doesn't make the cutting as efficient when I go in with the six and a half inch scissor which is this one blacksmith fit I love this one for scissor over comb I'm not somebody that has to have a super long comb but you can see how much more reach I get with it along the comb and as I work up the hair so it makes my work and detail a lot easier so I'm gonna show you guys the blade up against the comb you can see how far that blade reaches across the comb now I'm gonna go with my seven inch you can see that blade reaches all the way across all of those wider teeth and that's really what I'm looking for when I go in to do the scissor over comb the thing with the blacksmith fit solid I do love this scissor a lot it has smaller finger holes so if you have a bigger hand I would definitely go with a DB 20 and a longer scissor there's a 7.2 inch there's also a 6.7 inch if you're looking for that so now I want to break down the technique so I want to go through a little slow motion with the video you can see that one blade stays very steady along the bone of my comb the bone of the comb is where that hair is gonna kind of gather together and then I use the my thumb blade to move up and down so it pinches that hair down onto the bone of the comb and that allows a clean cut so key things to focus on for scissor over comb is having a blade that is the right length also using wider teeth as you're working up the head shape keeping that steady blade along the bone of the comb and then only using that one blade as you move your thumb just practice that so I want to show you guys start to finish on the right hand side so we're gonna work through it I've got my seven inch blacksmith fit solid scissor so you can see how quickly and easily I can get this side of the head done I'm using the wide teeth of my comb keeping that steady blade steady on the bone of the comb and just powering through it you can see how far that seven inch blade stretches across so that's it shows you right there exactly why I like using the longer blade and how clean it looks in the end result so we're gonna go in with our brocato carved to style up the finished result nice little undercut feel to the hairstyle so I'm gonna add in a little bit of texture hope you guys like this video definitely let me know if you want to see more videos like this and check

session. Can I request one of us to please lead us in prayer please? Jafina, can I request you to please lead us in prayer? Yes Ma'am. Jair Heavenly Father, we come to you in the name of Jesus. We thank you for this beautiful testimony in our same class that we are about to have Lord be I request the host, the dupalus, the wisdom, the understanding which will have heart as we learn and hear to every messages that our Ma'am is speaking about. Everything that we learn in our class today let us apply it in our life and let us shine bright in this world and let us be a light to this world and everyone who looks at us, let them look into you and let them find you. As we learn all these things, let us apply it in our life and look for your glory each and every minute. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much. So yes, I hope everyone have the notes of the book of Daniel and also we can turn to our scripture. I'll just start the presentation. Give me a minute while I put the presentation up. So who's the author of the book of Daniel? Who's the author? The name is, I mean, the book is named after the person who wrote it. So Daniel himself is the author and this book was written approximately in 537 BC and this book has only 12 chapters. So we'll see the background of this book of Daniel. The background is this book was written in time of exile in Babylon during the 6th century BC where it is also noted in 2 Kings chapter 24. We saw that in the first wave they had plundered the city of Jerusalem and its temple and taken away a bunch of Israelites into exile. And that time Daniel was one among them and he was a young nobleman of about 17 year old just like Ezekiel had taken into captive to the Babylon during the rule or reign of King Nebuchadnezzar. Being a young man from a prominent family, he was picked for government service in this gentile nation through God's favor and blessing. With his abilities, he rose to the position of Prime Minister of Babylon and we also see Daniel was a very close confidant of Nebuchadnezzar throughout the Babylonian King's reign. And Daniel continued to serve in this high position even after King Nebuchadnezzar's reign. Well, how God works out His purpose through His servants even in the courts or even in the place where the pagan rulers are there. This book was written by him and it is called as the Apocalypse of the Old Testament. And, you know, we will be briefly studying upon this book and we have a subject called eschatology the study of End Times where in detail we will be studying on the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation. So, don't worry, all your questions will be answered and the revelation of all the dreams will be interpreted and explained in detail because in this 15 minute of class, I don't think we can cover each and every dream vision and its meaning, but then I will do my best to briefly explain them. Well, it contains, this book contains many dreams, vision and prophecies concerning the future gentile nations and also the nation of Israel and the end of the age. Well, the book can be broken down into three parts. Three parts, I just move it. Okay, even before I can go to the three part. Yeah, chapter one is written in Hebrew and chapter two to seven is written in Aramaic. The Hebrews were living those days also knew another language that is the Aramaic language. So it is written two to seven in Aramaic and again chapter eight to twelve in Hebrew. Yes. Yeah, and one second. Yeah. So chapter one describes the destruction of Jerusalem and it's captive and exile and chapter two to seven gives us a record. It gives us a record of King Nebuchadnezzar and Belle Chazer is son's dream and they interpretation by Daniel and in chapter eight to twelve. It contains a vision to the future kingdom and their rulers and 70 weeks of prophecy and precise timeline of when the Messiah would come. So it comforts us that our hope in salvation is sure but that our faith must endure a while longer but that we will move on to the key characters of the four men. Okay, these are the key characters of the four men from the royal family of David. First is the Hebrew name. There are Hebrew names and the Babylonian names that has been given to to the four people. That is Balthesh Azar. The Babylonian name. His name is Daniel and Shadrach. And Ananiah is his Hebrew name. Meshach. Michelle is his Hebrew name and Abednego is Azaria. Well, with this, we will move on. So what does this book tell us? It tells about the struggles that they went through. Not only them but all the Israelites who were in the exile in the Babylon they went through and there was a hope in the land of the conquerors. The book design seems pretty simple at first. Well, in chapter one to six contains the stories about Daniel and his friends in Babylon. The chapter seven to twelve contains the visions of Daniel about the future. But this two part shape is made even more interesting by another design future and that's the books language. It begins in Hebrew as we discussed and then the language of the Israelites and then chapter two to seven it's written in Aramaic. And then back to Hebrew and this design shows how chapter two to seven are coherent section. But it is also the highlight the important chapter two to seven for understanding the later chapters of the book. So let's begin with chapter one from our Bible. Well, here it introduces the basic attention of the first half of the book and Daniel and his friends. They are really wise and capable. And they were recruited to serve in this royal palace of Babylon and they are pressured to give up their Jewish identity by living and eating like the Babylonians and violating the Jewish food, the laws. But then Daniel and his friend tried to keep up their identity through the practice when they were living like their food and the prayer style. They tried to maintain that they abided by the Torah, even if they were living in a vacant land. So they refused, refused to eat like how the Babylonians eat and they chose to be faithful to the Torah and put and because they were faithful to the Torah, it actually they got into trouble, they got into danger, but then they trusted God. When they trusted God, God delivers them and they end up being elevated in the king of Babylon. So as we read, they will come across that. Yeah, we see in chapter two. So the first king of Babylon, that is King Nebuchadnezzar has a dream. And it turns out, you know, only Daniel is able to interpret it when we read it that no wise men of the Babylon were able to interpret. The king declared saying that you have to tell us, you need to tell me the dream that I had on my bed and also interpret that dream. So it was something very difficult for the wise men for the astrologers of that place to interpret or tell. So can I request one of us to please turn to chapter two, chapter two read from 14 to 18 or 14 to 19. Daniel chapter two was 14 to 19, the captain of the king's guard who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon. He answered and said to Ariok, the king's captain, why is it known to Daniel? So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time that he might tell the king the interpretation. Then Daniel went to his house and made the decision known to Hananiah, Michelle and Aziraya, his companions, that they might seek mercy from the God of heaven concerning the secret so that Daniel and his companions might not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon. Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision. So Daniel blessed the God of heaven. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Divya. So what we read here is Daniel seeked God. He took time from the king and he seeked God. When he seeked God and he prayed, God revealed the dream and the vision. Well, Daniel had the access those days. Do you think that you and I would not have it today? Friends, we have it today. Even when we seek God for his wisdom, for the revelation of his word, for the greater things, God reveals to us in dreams and visions because that is what he said in the end days, I'll pour out my spirit on the young and the old and they shall see dreams and visions. When we seek God, he will reveal to us just like how God revealed the dream and the interpretation to Daniel. The same God is not a partial God.  VR is children. As we come down from verse 25, can I request someone to read from 25 to 35, please? Or yes, we'll read from the 25 to 28. Later, we will read 34 to 38. Verse 25, then Aryok hurriedly brought Daniel into king's presence and spoke to him as follows. I have found a man among the exiles from Judah who can make interpretation known to the king. The king said to Daniel, whose name was Belserzer, are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen and its interpretation? Daniel answered before the king and said, as for the mystery about which the king has inquired, neither wise men, conjurers, magicians, or diviners are able to declare it to the king. However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will take place in the Latin days.  Do we read till 30? 28. So we see that the king Nebuchadnezzar was a very cruel and a crafty king and he demanded the wise men of Babylon to tell him both the dream and its interpretation. So how we can and also those who tell the dream and the interpretation, we see that there is a reward. There is a gift and a reward for that. But then if they do not interpret and tell the dream, there is death. He asked the wise men of the Babylon to be put to death. He asked the soldiers to put the wise men of the Babylon to be put to death. And here when Daniel hears about that, it takes time and he seeks God. We see when he seek God, when he prayed, Lord answered him. And though Daniel was only 17 years old, when he seek God, God answers him. We are never too young or too old to tap into that God's wisdom. Wisdom comes from the Lord to everyone who seeks and asks earnestly. Because that's what we read in James chapter 1 verse 5. It says, if any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God who gives to all men liberally and abrade it not. And it shall be given. And it does not come from my experience but from God. When we seek God, he reveals it. And that is how he revealed it to Daniel. We see that. And then Daniel reveals the secret. He explains the dream. He explains the dream. How? Because he has received that from God. He has received that from God. I'll just change this slide. Give me a minute. Yeah. So we see the image of Daniel. We see this is the image that the king had in the dream. And Daniel goes ahead and explains about this image. He says, this image head was a fine gold. It denotes the Babylonian kingdom. The God of heaven has given you a kingdom. You King Nebuchadnezzar. And you are this head of gold. And then he moves on to the next. That is the Persian kingdom. That is which is in silver. It's chest and the arms of silver. He says, after your kingdom, there's another kingdom shall rise. Another kingdom shall rise inferior to yours. And then it's belly and the thighs of bronze. Then there's another kingdom, the third kingdom of bronze, which is the Greece, the Greek. And they shall rule over all the earth. And then we see its legs. Legs are made out of iron. And that is the Roman kingdom, which will rule. And its feet partly of iron and partly of clay. And the fourth kingdom shall be as strong as iron. And that kingdom will be broken in pieces and crush all the others. Well, the toes, we come to the toes now, which is made out of clay and iron. And in the days of these kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed. And the kingdom shall not be left to other people. It shall break in pieces and consume all the kingdom and it shall stand forever. And also we see that in verse 34. Can I request someone to read verse 34 and 35 please? 34, you continue looking until the stone was cut out without hands and it struck the statue on its feet of iron and clay and crushed them. Then the iron, the clay and the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like a chaff from the summer threshing flows. And the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth. Amen, amen. Thank you so much, John for reading. Well, as we watch, as you watched, there was a stone cut out without hands that came. So which is that stone that struck and destroyed all the four kingdom? Which is that stone and who is that stone? It's talking about Jesus. Yes, the stone in New Testament, which we see, which was rejected by everyone and that became the chief corner stone. The rock, Jesus is that rock which can destroy all the other kingdom. Well, the New Testament reveals that Jesus preached the establishment of God's kingdom. And also we see John the Baptist also preached saying that the kingdom of God is at hand. Since the church and the kingdom are one and same, we see that in the Gospels. And the church was established in the first century during the days of the Roman Empire. And it follows that the kingdom of God was established in the first century following the earthly ministry of Jesus. The church, the kingdom is comprised of people from all nations. And thus it consumes all these kingdom which is spoken in this chapter and is spoken of in the New Testament and having been in existence during the first century AD. Well, this kingdom still exists today. And all sinners can choose to become part of it by being immersed in Jesus Christ, by receiving him as the Lord and Savior of a life. As the Ed of the church is Jesus and is the King of kings, is now reigning over his kingdom and over his people, which has been shared about this in the Gospel and also in the Book of Acts chapter 2. We see that. And with this, what we also see is how it is compared. You see something degrading from the value of itself throughout. We see the headers of gold and then the breast and arms are in silver. So, which has more value? Gold or silver? Gold or silver? Gold. Gold has more value. And then we see silver and brass. Which has more value? Yeah, you all can unmute and answer please. Silver. Silver. And then brass and iron, which has more value? Brass. And then iron and clay, which has more value? Iron and then it's clay. So you see it is degrading. Something that has been started by man may come up very well, but then it goes degrading. But remember, anything that has been started by God remains good and gets better and better and better. It raises from glory to glory, strength to strength. So we need to seek God. We need to seek God, just like how Daniel and his friends seeked God. No matter they were in the pagan land with their culture, but then they stayed themselves away from all those culture and all those activities, but then they seeked God every day in their life. They practiced Torah. They were faithful to Torah. This is just the image to show the stone. Back to the slides. Yeah. So we see how Daniel could interpret the dream to King and give him the understanding. This Daniel became the prime minister of Babylon and it's about yes, Daniel says that the statue represent a train of human kingdoms falling from Babylon and they will fill God's world with violence. The Lord Jesus is the stone in the dream that struck the image and the kingdom of Christ will be established as an everlasting kingdom and that will confront and humble the arrogant kingdom of this world and fill the world with the healing justice of God's reign and rule, which talks about this, this stone that struck the image became a great mountain and fill the whole earth. With this, we will move on to chapter three. So in chapter three, we see that it talks about the very famous story of Daniel three friends who refused to bow down before bow down and worship this huge idle statue. Something similar to which the King Nebuchadnezzar had the dream. So the three Hebrews showed strong faith when they choose to trust God regardless of whether or not he would deliver them. Sometimes we think that God may not deliver us from our trouble, but is faithful enough to keep his promise that he will be with us. He will walk through through the adversity and he will deliver us. That's what we read in Deuteronomy. Can I request one of us to turn to Deuteronomy chapter four verse 30 and 31. And the other please turn to Deuteronomy 31 verse six please. It's Deuteronomy chapter four, the reference verse 30 and 31. Verse 30 and 31. Yes, please. When you are in distress and all these things come upon you in the latter days, when you turn to the Lord your God and obey his voice, the Lord your God is a merciful God.  Next, 31 verse six, please. Six and eight. Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or troubled at them. For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Verse eight. The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you. He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. He will not fear or be dismayed. Amen. He will never fail you nor forsake you. Fear not, nor be dismayed. What a promise. Not only God is talking to Daniel's three friends, but God is also talking to us today. As we may face such trials, may not be fiery but in different areas, different situations may be as hard as this. But then the promise is the promise for you and I. Whoever believes in Jesus, we have the access to this promise that we are not alone. We are never alone. These three Hebrew friends who are abided by the teaching of Torah, they kept it. They knew the God. We read that, you know, I'll just give you the scripture. Just give me a minute. Yeah, verse chapter 11, Daniel chapter 11 verse 32. It says, the people who know their God shall be strong and carry out great exploits. We should know our God. The relationship, the fellowship that we have with our God gives us that courage, gives us the strength. Hey, no matter what happens around us, God is with us and we will have our victory. We should have this relationship with God, the relationship that Daniel and his friends had with God. No matter what, despite the situation, we will be with God. Just imagine they have been, they have been persecuted and they thrown into the fiery furnace. But God was with them to deliver them. And during the situation, you see the invisible God which was the presence of God, which they had with them always, now has become visible during the time of trial. You see that? The invisible God, which was the presence with them, started to become visible during the time of trial. When we look back in our own life, the difficult situations that we have gone through or we went through, can we see the hand of God during that situation where God became more tangible to us? His presence became so much visible to us that he became the fourth person in the fiery furnace, just like them. And the King and the others could see with their eyes, it was no more three people moving in that fire but four. They could see that. And also the scripture says not even the hair was burnt. Nothing happened. They walked out of the fiery furnace. The King called them out because they saw the fourth person. Who was that person? And nothing happened to them. They were not crying or weeping or screaming out of pain or burnt. But then they were just walking with the fourth person. So God was with them to save them from the death. And now the King who watched that brought them out and they were exalted. And the King acknowledges that they God is the true one. They God is the true one of beautifies that, isn't it? Even the place we are, no matter where we work, in our workplace, in our office, in our family, no matter what trials we may go through, when we trust God, he becomes more visible to us and to the people around us.  Many instances even I have seen that God becomes more prominent. And he becomes the third person, I mean the fourth person. And he brings us through. Now with this we will move on to the next chapter four and five. And after this comes a pair of stories about the Babylonian kingdom and yes the father Nebuchadnezzar and his son Belshazer. They both are filled with pride because of their imperial power and so like in chapter two God wants them both through the dream of salvation, just like the chapter two. So only Daniel can interpret it again. So he says that both kings are to humble themselves before God and both kings are arrogantly resisted. So what happens? So God strikes the king Nebuchadnezzar with madness. He loses his mind and he becomes like the beast in the field. He goes out in the field and he eats the grass but then later there's a time when he humbles himself before God and he acknowledges it and asks for forgiveness and repents for a sin. God gives him the understanding. He receives the understanding and he's been restored as king. So this is in contrast with his own son Belshazer who doesn't humble himself before God and he was assassinated that very night. Of these two stories I've just got short to make us understand. Draw the imaginary from the Genesis chapter one and two and Psalms eight where humans are depicted as a royal image of God and he has given them the authority to rule over the beasts of the field the birds of the air on behalf of God. And who is the world's true king? And the human kingdom forgets that and when they rebel and make themselves and you know and they power into God's image they become less than human like the violent beast so they have to face God's justice. This we will move on to chapter six. Yes, which brings us into the pair of chapter three and this time it's Daniel who's been persecuted because he refuses to pray and worship the king as a God and so like the friends he's sentenced to death and he's thrown into lion's den. He's thrown into lion's den but God delivers him from the beast and just like how he delivered the friends we will move on to that image. God delivered him supernaturally because he trusted on God. He said, Lord no matter what it is I know you are with me. See what attitude we see with this friend with Daniel and his three friends and later also in the New Testament we see the same kind of attitude among the disciples of Jesus and very beautifully it reminds me of Paul who wrote for me to die is again so I will be in Christ or to live is again I will work with Christ. So for me to live or die is to be with Christ and the same attitude we see with Daniel and his friends God you're faithful that's okay I trust in you whatever happens I'm with you you are with me. They have this confidence in them and with this we will move on to chapter 7 and yes God delivers Daniel supernaturally from this lion's den. There's not even a scratch Bible records that there is not even a scratch on Daniel and you know in fact Daniel maybe though he was in the lion's den maybe he was in great peace than the king you know the king had sleepless night putting Daniel into the prison and he acknowledges that Daniel you know he acknowledges when Daniel was not armed by lion and he was very happy to receive him and exalt him than others and he put the others into the lion's den who plotted against Daniel the pit which others dug for Daniel they had to finally fall into the same pit so in chapter 7 we see another dream and it's Daniel this time and you know understand the dream until an angelic messenger explains it to him and we see a series of four beasts the one like a lion like a bear like a winged leopard and each of these symbolizes an arrogant kingdom and last of all is a super beast identified as a really evil empire and it has a lot of horns and a common symbol for king is the old in the Old Testament the horns and there's one specific horn who's an image of an arrogant king who exalts himself about God and persecuted God's people and now they are symbolized by a figure called the son of man who is the image for both God's covenant people but also their king from the line of David but then all of a sudden God was called the ancient of days comes and he sets up his throne and he destroys all these super beasts and he exalts the son of man on the cloud where he comes up to sit at God's right hand and share in God's rule over the nation and we also see that when we look back these stories in the first half we see that the three stories of faithfulness despite the persecution they are meant to offer hope to God's suffering people among the nation and they suffer because human kingdom have rebelled against God and become the beast in nature so these visions encourage us to be patient that God's people are to wait for him to bring his kingdom and rule over our world and vindicate his sufferings from people so in chapter 8 we see that Daniel has another vision about the final two beasts in chapter 7 but this time they are symbolized by a ram who we're told is an image of empire of needs and persons and then by a goat who is an image of ancient Greece and out of goat comes a whole bunch of horns and symbolizes the evil king from chapter 7 so we will be in detail covering this in the book of eschatology so we see a lot of series of visions and dreams here which we will be studying in detail and in second year when you are studying the subject eschatology so now the book of Daniel has been designed to offer us the hope to all the future generation of God's people so it did so in the days of the Antiochus empire and it had ever since and this is why Jesus could use the imaginary from imagery from the Daniel to describe and confront the oppressive leaders he confronted in Jerusalem and yes and this is why even John the visionary who wrote the revelation could adapt Daniel's vision and apply them to Rome of his day and also all future oppressive empires and so the point here in the book of Daniel is that all generation of readers can find here a pattern and a promise to them yes where the human and their kingdom become you know there's a pattern of human beings and their kingdom became a violent beast but when they glorified when they glorified in their own power they were you know they saw the power which was destroyed by God and when they don't acknowledge and give glory to God they are destroyed by their pride but Daniel also holds out a promise that one day God will confront these violent behavior people who are like beasts and he will rescue his world his people by bringing his kingdom over all the nations so we see Jeremiah also gave a message of hope that this exile will not last long but only 70 a period and then we also see Ezekiel giving a hope and giving the millennium the God's kingdom come on earth and we see also Daniel being the prophet he is also reminded about Jeremiah's prophecy of that 70 year exile and E praise initially when we study the book of Daniel in the first chapter we see that Daniel is reminded of the 70 year exile and E praise and I ask God 70 year period is over we need to go back to a promised land but then God says Daniel Daniel people have not changed people are continuing to sin again and again so I had to extend it's not like God had to extend it's the sin nature the consequence of the sin has extended this exile for 70 times 7 approximately 490 years and now the book of Daniel ends with a message of hope he says God will rescue us he will rescue us and because he is a faithful God there's always a plan and then he talks about the end times well Daniel and his friends how we can apply what we can learn from this book other than the revelation of the end times we see that Daniel and his friends we're praying they have to pray in nature with them they pray together and whenever they pray together God showed God revealed things to them God supported them God revealed the secrets the hidden things to them when they prayed when they see God wholeheartedly so when we see God we see God showing up the invisible God will become visible in our life his tangible presence will become visible yes we need to ask we need to see God whenever we ask and see God God answers us maybe we would have never experienced others asking or praying like that before but don't stop yourself from asking Peter just like how in the New Testament we saw Jesus walk on water yes the other disciples were very scared but what made Peter to ask Jesus Jesus can I walk the way you walk and Jesus said yes walk and it was only Peter who could walk on water because he was the only one who asked so it is important for you and I to ask God just like how Daniel asked God we need to ask God maybe no one else have experienced that trial like how Daniel did maybe the trial that we go through may be new our situation circumstance that we are put in may be new but despite our situation despite our circumstances let's seek and ask God because he is a savior who died on the cross and he will rescue us no matter what how dangerous situation it could be God has the power to rescue us his hand is not shot to save us to hold us to lift his up from that from that situation and his ears are not deaf to hear our prayer and his eyes are not blind to watch us over because he calls us as the apple of our eyes he watches over us God is a God who sees us he sees us God who saw Egar and blessed her same God will see us despite of our shortcoming despite of our weakness just like the lost sheep who just cried out to the shepherd the shepherd left the 99 and he ran same God he can come to you and me even in the lion's den even in the fiery furnace wherever we are he is faithful enough to be with us so with this I'll end this and I'll leave it open to our class if you would like to share or add anything that we discussed pertaining to the book of Daniel or any experience that you had in your life that you would like to share please feel free to share it because that will strengthen us each of us in the class as we study this book together thank you and I leave it open to our class these are some of the highlights that we covered in the class today yes, I will yes, Divya, please go ahead thank you so much it was such a beautiful session and one words that I really love in this book of Daniel is Daniel 1 was 8 which says Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with a portion of the king's delicacies no with a wine but he drank so that was like it is something that he did intentionally it's not something that just happened like that but we might be Daniel and his friends were in such a difficult culture it was everything was against them but you know that courage and the resolute you know to stand for God that's really remarkable and I pray that each one of us have that resolute as well as the courage thank you amen, thank you so much yes that's why God rewarded them because intentionally they stepped intentionally they held on to God and his promise and we see how God rewarded them anyone else would like to share I like the last words Daniel chapter 12 verse 13 after revealing so much so much of God's mysteries to Daniel we read as for you, go your way to the end then you will enter into rest and rise again for your a lot of portion at the end of the age such a hope giving was amen, amen yes yes it is a message of hope that we receive, thank you anyone else yes please brother Lupega I also learned two things one pride it actually shows that whether you are godly or ungodly God hates the proud he will always bring his judgment to the proud people number two I also learn that God is always near the prayerful for instance you see how those guys who are praying and it actually means that whether you are in your own land or in the foreign land whether it's free or a captive when you live a prayerful life God will always answer that's what I had to say thank you so much thank you, thank you for sharing that brother amen anyone else who would like to share Ilisha you would like to add Linden Rubin anyone from the class you would like to add before we could end the session Niki can I request one of us to please pray and dismiss us from this class sorry no problem no problem Rosalind you can go ahead yes before praying I would like to share that 11 32 that know that God shall do great exploits and I

Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim in the name of Allah, the beneficent, the merciful, respected viewers, brothers and sisters in Islam, may the peace and blessings of Allah be upon you. As-salamu alaikum, hello, and welcome to the 13th episode of the Treaties of Rights series. Today we will discuss the right of the mother. Regarding this, Mama Sajjad Zayn al-Abideen, peace and blessings be upon him, has said, then the right of your mother is that you should know that she carried you where no one carries anyone, and she fed you with the fruit of her heart that which no one feeds anyone. And she protected you with her hearing and sight, and her hands and legs, and her hair and skin, and all her other organs. She was highly delighted to do so. She was happy and eager, and during the harm and the pains, and the heaviness, and the grief until the mighty hand expelled you out of her, and delivered you out to the earth. She did not care if she went hungry as long as you ate, and if she was naked as long as you were clothed, and if she was thirsty as long as you drank, and if she was in the sun as long as you were in the shade, and if she was miserable as long as you were happy, and if she was deprived of sleeping as long as you were resting.  She protected you from the heat and the cold of this world. Then you should thank her for all that. You will not be able to show her gratitude unless, through God's help, and His granting you of success. A mother, just hearing this word, brings calmness and great happiness to anyone who hears it. This one person who brought you into this world after months of pain and agony, don't they deserve our utmost respect? Maman Sajjah the last piece on Blessings Be Upon Him starts his discussion with pregnancy, and describes how a mother suffers the hardships of the period of pregnancy and the pains of labor. This is the type of hardship that no one else is ready to suffer for our sake. This point is clearly stressed in the Holy Qur'an in the following verse.  The carrying of the child to his weaning is a period of 30 months at length when he reaches the age of full strength and attains 40 years. He says, O my Lord, grant me that I may be grateful for thy favor, which thou hast bestowed upon me and upon both of my parents, and that I may work righteousness, such as thou mayest approve. And be gracious to me in my issue. Truly have I turned to thee, and truly do I bow to thee in Islam. The Holy Qur'an chapter 46 verse 15. Moreover, in another verse we read, and we have enjoined on man to be good to his parents, and travail upon travail did his mother bear him, and in years twain was his weaning. Hear the command, show gratitude to me and to thy parents. To me is thy final goal. The Holy Qur'an, Luqman chapter 31 verse 14. The period of pregnancy is one of the most difficult times of a mother's life. She has to put up with many hardships from the time that she gets pregnant. She has to give a lot of her own energy to the fetus that is growing inside of her. That is why she gets weak and develops many problems during pregnancy. Let's go for a quick short break. Stay tuned. Welcome back. The most difficult period of a woman's life is the time of her pregnancy. As the fetus grows inside the woman's body, its needs increase. This consequently puts physical and emotional strain on the woman. This particularly occurs during the last months of pregnancy when it's even too hard for the mother to sit and stand. However, the mother suffers all these difficulties due to the love she has for the baby that will soon be born. The baby that will smile at his mother once it is born. Delivery is one of the hardest to bear periods of a mother's life. They are even mothers who lose their precious life during delivery.  She must safely deliver the baby. That is why she must take all necessary precautions to safely deliver her baby. She must be very careful about what she eats, how she moves, where she rests and her hygiene during the full period of pregnancy. During the period of breastfeeding, the mother must spend all her days and nights to fulfill all the needs of the baby. The baby cannot talk during this period. He cannot tell where he is feeling pain. His only language is that of crying, and his mother must recognize all of his needs through his crying. The cleansing of the baby is another very difficult task in this period. The mother must also take care of the baby during times of illness. The Holy Quran states that the period of breastfeeding is two years, as in the following verse.  The Holy Quran al-Baqarah 2 verse 233. In another verse, the full period of pregnancy and breastfeeding is said to be 30 months. The carrying of the child to his weaning is a period of 30 months. The Holy Quran chapter 46 verse 15. To this, there is a beautiful explanation. Once we subtract 24 from 30, we get 6. Could the period of pregnancy end after 6 months? The jurisprudence and interpreters of the Holy Quran have stated that the minimum period of pregnancy is 6 months, and the maximum period of breastfeeding is 24 months. It has been recorded that some children have been born after 6 months of pregnancy. We can also conclude that the sooner the baby is born, the longer it must be breastfed so that this 30 month period of development is completed. In the verses cited above, we were instructed to be kind to both of our parents. Much of the parents has a greater share in the development of the child. The Holy Quran has given a greater share to the mother due to her efforts and role during the period of pregnancy and breastfeeding. Once the sperm unites with the egg to form the initial fetus, the parents have an equal share in the development of the child. However, the mother of the fetus in the uterus and carries the baby until she delivers it. Thus, she has a greater share in the development of the baby. Alexis Carl said, both parents have an equal share in the initial development of the cells from which other cells are constructed through successive divisions. However, in addition to providing half of the cell, the mother provides for the protoplasm that encompasses the cell. Thus, she has a greater share in the development of the fetus compared to the father. The man's duty in the development of the fetus is for a short time. However, the mother supports the fetus for nearly 9 months, during which it is fed by blood delivered to it from the mother's uterus. Because the baby is in the mother's womb for so long, the mother's psychological and psychological state immensely affects the child. The mother's physical state and what she eats all affect the child. Likewise, her thoughts and temper also affect the child. All of the mother's time is spent caring for the child from the moment it is born. Even a moment of neglect of the child by the mother might result in the death of the child. The day and night caring of the child by the mother deprives her of the necessary rest that she needs herself. However, the natural love for the child makes all of this bearable. This has been expressed by Mamal Sajjad, peace and blessings be upon him, as she was highly delighted to do so. Islam honors the mother higher than any other religion on earth. The mother, who is cherished that much by Islam and given all these rights, has a task to perform. She has to take care of her children, raise them well, implant virtues and make them detest evil. Islam honors mothers so much that Islam considers heaven to be under the feet of a mother. The position of the mother is so lofty that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, his pure family has advised us in order to go to heaven we must serve our mothers. The Prophet of God, Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him said, heaven lies under the feet of mothers. Moses, the son of Imran, asked God for advice three times. God advised him to his own pure self for all those three times. However, Moses asked for more advice. God, Spana Wata'ala, asked him regarding his mother twice and advised him regarding his father for the third time. A man went to see the Prophet of God and said, O Prophet of God, whom shall I treat well? He said, your mother. The man asked, who else? The Prophet said, your mother. The man asked, who else? Again the Prophet said, your mother. Again the man asked, who else? This time the Prophet said, your father. From this we can clearly tell that mothers have more rights over the child than the father. We can say that the mother's share is three times that of the father's based on the above tradition. Even though the father pays for the expenses of the child, the mother has a greater role in the period of pregnancy, breastfeeding and the upbringing of the child. The father just pays for the needs, but it is the mother who is always with the child and never leaves him alone and wholeheartedly attends to him. A young man went to see the Prophet along with his mother. He wanted to go to the front, but his mother would not let him do so. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, be at the service of your mother since it is not any less of a service than going to the war front. With this we conclude this episode. Stay tuned for another episode of the Treaties of Rights of Maman Sajjad. Peace and blessings be upon him. Thank you all for watching. May Allah help us to be at parent's bar with love and peace and blessings of Allah be upon you and peace and blessings of Allah be upon you.
