I would like to present to you the first results of the project RPCM Apulia, meaning Reconstructing Prehistoric Communities Mobility in Apulia, which is currently underway as a cooperation between Munster University, Germany, Bologna University, Italy, and the subcontinent densa in Forge. Our aim is to conduct landscape archaeology in southern Italy and do social network analysis with the wish to improve our knowledge of Apulian prehistory. We want to analyze the influence of human presence on the territory. And we would like to gain an understanding about how prehistoric communities kept in touch with each other. So this is the area. If we zoom in a little bit, this is it. It's bordered in the west by a river valley, the valley of the Fortora River. In the east, we have the outskirts of the Gagano Mountains. In the north, the area is bordered by the sea coast, but also two large, sweet water lakes, which is Lago di Lesina and Lago di Barano. And in the south, south of the city of San Severo, and we have the northern border of the Tavoliere, which is a large limestone plateau with very fertile soils. Apulia is of special importance for the Neolithic and the Copper Age in Italy. It is this place where the first Neolithic settlers entered Italy around 6,000 before Christ. And it's probably also due to these very fertile regions here. I already mentioned the Tavoliere plain with fertile soils over limestone substratum, and also other regions like Altopiano del Emugio is a very fertile region. And due to these areas being made up of limestone, it's also these regions sent to carcify. So we have a lot of caves that have been used already since the Paleolithic times, but also during the Neolithic and the Copper Age. And of course, and this has been said before, we have to take into account the special situation of the Gargano, which bears large flint formations, which have been mined already since the earliest Neolithic. And these landscapes together with the sea post, the sweetwater lakes, and these raw materials poses quite an interesting research area. Now, I would like to give you just a real quick overview of the chronological scope of our project, which encompasses the times from the earliest Neolithic to the early Bronze Age. And as I mentioned, the first Neolithic settler set foot on this earth around 6,000 before Christ and started to own the landscape by creating villages surrounded by large ditch systems whose actual function is still widely unknown. And yeah, they took possession of the landscape in this way. And everything changes a little bit with the end of the Neolithic. And human impact now starts to become more intricate relationships with communities from neighboring regions and regions farther away start to intensify. And settlements now change as well. They arise now progressively in points of control, in points of transhumance roots. And by the start of the early Bronze Age, a lot of these sites tend to become fortified as well. These changes in settling also reflect in the material culture. After the Neolithic, we have this fascist Machia amare, which marks the beginning of the Copper Age. And it shows similarities to pottery from the regions further to the north, to the region of Abruzzo, but also along the sea coast and further down south to Calabria. And we cannot talk about archaeological cultures in this sense, but it's rather a set of ideas that is shared by different communities in a larger area.  Further, stressing connections to the south, to Sicily as well. For example, there's very close parallels at these sites in Sicily with very similar pottery. And again, it's not one big cultural phenomenon, but it's rather a set of ideas that is distributed, is traveled. And in the end of the Copper Age, the fascist Latterza emerges. And again, it displays strong connections to southern Italy. And interactions again intensify in this part of Italy. And we can notice that new types of economy arise during this time. They lay more and more emphasis on the possession of land. The control of routes, the control of economic and transhuman routes becomes crucial. And for this reason, settlements were set on top of hills, for example, close to inland water courses, also close to the sea coast to gain control, to dominate passages of the landscape. In order to find out how communities communicated, how they interacted with each other, we employed a set of different methods. And my colleague Robert will now take over. So, good afternoon, everybody. So whereas we recognize the important role of Apulia during prehistory, we have some problem with the considered area, just because we have an archaeological blood frame because of the anthropic action acted during, since prehistory, to today. So we started to collect all the information about the sites from several sources, such as the Britain sources, or sources about the landscape usage or changing. So we use the bulk of this data in order to perform some analysis. First of all, for example, the viewshed analysis and the observed point analysis, that it gave us the field of view from each site. And we used these analyses on the site located along the river Fortora. So the triangle are ancient and early peak settlements. The core of the spot are the area that the sites could see with a maximum radius of visibility of 15 kilometers, with the weather conditions, of course. And we established the height of the server to 1 meter and 65 centimeters. So to continue, we applied to decide also the buffer zones in order to understand the interaction between the sites. Every buffer zone has a maximum radius of 3 kilometers. This means one hour, 25 minutes working distance with an average speed of 4 kilometers per hour. So we continue with the least cost-pop analysis in order to obtain a predictive model about the mobility into the area. So the starting point is the red point from which all the path network spread into the area, reaching all the other sites. So in order to obtain this kind of model, we decided to get a smoother surface, so a more weighted surface, and then create an accumulative surface in which the cost was calculated by the Tobler's eigenfunction. And then the result is this path network in pink. So anyway, all these data has to verify and check on field, for instance through surveys. And all these data also we want to use in order to perform also analysis with the social network analysis in order to create a network about the mobility and the circulation of the artifacts. So from these first attempts, we obtained these results. Detailed according to the vision and buffer zones analysis, we could assume that each site located along the river had a good visibility on both shores. And especially for the settlements placed in the medium northern part, there would be a good connectivity. So we could assume also that the river worked not as a barrier, but as a communication way for the sites spread along the river line and perhaps also for reaching the sites in the surroundings. According to the list cost path analysis, we could assume that there was a good connectivity. And there are two kinds of connections. One is straight, so side to side directly. And the other one instead, in order to reach the settlements that was placed far away from the starting point, could involve some intermediate stops. These stops could be all the settlements themselves or some areas in which we found just some pottery shirts. So passage point. So as aforesaid, these results will involve also the social network analysis in order to create a network about the role played by the settlements. So for example, according to the site position, so if, for example, a site was very close to a connection way, maybe it played an important role into the network. While if it was in a between position, maybe it played a role as hub, or if it was outside of the network, probably it could mean that it was outside of the communication way, of very far away, of course. So involving also technical and statistical analysis, we want to create also a network about the circulation of the artifacts into the area. So understand if there were some influences both inside the area or coming from the surroundings. The same with the elemental physical analysis, with which we want to achieve the elemental composition. So understand also the kind of raw materials and if it's possible to understand the raw material extraction point. In order to understand also if it was local, or maybe it was outside of our area. So thank you for your time.


Amen. So we're in John chapter 2 for the third week. We're going to finish that chapter up this evening We're going to look at this story towards the end of John chapter 2 So of course in John chapter 2 we looked at the first miracle of Jesus We looked at the the water to wine Miracle where Jesus kind of officially starts his ministry. He starts his first miracles there then we looked At the story, you know just of what how people misuse That story in the Bible and can teach that Jesus you know was a was a was serving alcohol and getting people drunker So we just proved that from the Bible and we looked at Jesus, you know driving out the people selling in church We're going to pick up in John chapter 2 in verse number 18 This evening and look at this last little story that happens here this last little you know Historical event that happens. I guess I I don't want to say stories. These are you know This is the Bible telling us the eyewitness accounts here Look at verse number 18 where the Bible says then enters the Jews and said unto him what signs show us thou unto us Seeing now that do is Seeing that thou do us these things So the Jews again, you know their Jesus rebukes them later for this but they're asking for a Sign they're asking for a sign as if these miracles Are not enough, you know, then they're asking for a sign after he drives everybody out of the the temple He's kind of saying they're kind of saying, you know, what authority do you do this with you know? He comes in there and he throws all these tables over and whips all these people out of the temple They're saying by what a you know, basically saying what authority do you do this by Jesus answered in verse 19 and sent it to them He said destroy this temple and in three days. I will raise it up Then said the Jews 40 and 6 years was this temple in building. We'll tell rear it up in three days So of course they thought that he was literally talking about There's a rubable's temple or the second temple remember at this time The Babylonians, you know had already torn down Solomon's temple some 400 years earlier and then of course the story of if you remember the book of Ezra The book of Nehemiah's when the people came back from the Babylonian captivity and in the book of Ezra That's when the rubable begins to build the temple at the beginning of the book of Ezra And you know, you say why did it take 46 years? Well, there was a lot of you'd have to read those books There's a lot of strife and there's a lot of people stopping The work of that temple, but what we're looking at what we're dealing with In John chapter 2 is the second temple now the second temple is sometimes Called like historically it's called Herod's temple And it's because Herod kind of did a restoration project on the second temple But all that to be said even if you hear people say Herod's temple They're talking about the second temple that Zerubbable built after that the Babylonian captivity was over and The Jews were allowed to go back to the children of Israel allowed to go back to the promised land and they rebuilt That temple so they thought that Jesus was talking literally about tearing down the temple and rebuilding it in three days All right, but of course in 20 verse 21 the Bible says but he's spake of the temple of his body All right when therefore he was risen from the dead verse 22 is really kind of cool verse because it kind of gives us a future A future event here It tells us that when Jesus was raised from the dead Let's keep in mind Jesus has just started his three and a half year ministry in John chapter 2 But then verse 22 jumps ahead to what the disciples did after Jesus was actually raised from the dead three and a half years later It says when Therefore he was risen from the dead his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them and they believed the scripture and The word with Jesus had said so they understood at that point So basically what the Bible is telling us here is nobody really understood What Jesus was talking about when he spoke of the temple of his body, you know that verse 21 is the narrator talking You know, that's the Holy Holy Spirit talking to us there You know, that's not something that they knew at the time including the disciples. Okay, so it's always you know It's always interesting. This is just a side note when you're reading the Bible, especially the Old Testament It's it's it's important to point out when the narrator of the Bible is talking because a lot of times People are very confused about things in the Bible, especially the Old Testament. I get this question Over the years. I've gotten this question quite a few times from people just like how could these horrible things have happened How could these people do these horrible things and how could this be in the Bible? How could these men have done? It's those are just historical things that happened that doesn't mean that you know everything that's written in the Bible is You know what God wanted men to do I mean that that's not the way the Bible is written But it is important to know, you know when the the word of the Lord said or the narrator is speaking You know that is the truth of God right there. All right I mean obviously the whole Bible is true, but much of the Bible is simply Historical what men actually did and then of course the reason the Bible puts it in there So we see the consequences that came upon those men those nations. All right, so we don't repeat those things, right? That's the idea, but then nobody knows the Bible. So what's the point? All right, okay So verse 22 is kind of a neat verse where they just kind of tells you the disciples They didn't understand what Jesus was talking about until he rose from the dead look at verse 23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the Passover in the feast day many believed in his name when they saw the miracles Which he did so I'm going to kind of pause right there and kind of go back to this idea in verse 21 of Jesus speaking about the temple of his body turned to 1st Corinthians chapter 6 Turn to 1st Corinthians chapter number 6 actually turn to Luke chapter 21 real quickly because Jesus they're thinking that They're thinking that Jesus actually did prophesy that he was going to tear the temple down But the irony of that is that Jesus actually does that later All right, so turn to Luke chapter 21 and Look at verse number 6. So that's not what Jesus was doing here He wasn't talking about the physical temple, but Jesus does do that in verse number verse number Verse number 5 and 6 of Luke chapter 21 where the Bible says and some spake of the temple How it was adorned with goodly stones and gifts he said and as some spake So they were talking about the physical temple how it was adorned with all these wonderful things and if you have a red Letter Bible verse 6 is Jesus speaking where it says as for these things which he behold the days will come in The witch there shall not be left one stone upon another that shall not be thrown down So of course Jesus is prophesying that the temple this second temple Druble's temple Herod's temple whatever you want to call it will be destroyed and of course we know that that historical event did happen in 70 AD there is this revolt and the Romans were I mean the political situation was just the Romans were just They had just had it. They just had it with the Jews They had had it with all the trouble that they were causing and unfortunately That's sort of when if you read historical just secular history That is historically when you know the persecution of the Christians really shifted from the Jews to the Romans at that point because I Mean and maybe this is my opinion here But the Jews really or the Romans really kind of lumped the Christians in with the Jews They looked at them as a you know the book of Acts tells us that that the Romans, you know They look at them as a set of the Jews kind of like a you know some offshoot Denomination of the Jews, which is exactly what it wasn't all right And you know a lot of people still teach that today actually that you know We're all it's Judeo-Christian and like nothing could be further from the truth as a matter of fact when you go out Soul winning and I've mentioned this before and not to derail the sermon But when you go out soul winning and you go out and you find people of different religions You will find that the people that believe the worst things about Jesus are actually the Jews It's that Jewish religion that believes that Jesus is in hell. He's being punished You know all these different things just believe terrible things about Jesus and that's why The the people that follow the Jewish religion even today are very difficult to get saved And you know if you're a soul winner you will you know I'm sure you will agree that that's been your experience as well. I'm not saying it's easy to get Muslim saved I'm not saying it's easy to get you know other people of other religions saved But you will have a much easier time because they believe at least good things about Jesus, you know, so it's it's a it's a big deal All right, so Jesus actually did prophesy the destruction of the temple. All right now. Here's an interesting thing I think also that this is you know proof right here that Jesus prophesying in Luke chapter 21 and verse number six prophesying the destruction of the temple This is proof that the New Testament that we have in front of us was finished before 70 ad So a lot of people are like oh, you know when was the New Testament? You all these secular Scientists or archaeologists would ever have all these ideas that you know the New Testament wasn't finished until a hundred ad and thus You know what they're doing is they're trying to throw shade on the Bible They're trying to throw shade on these texts to say oh, you know They must have misremembered if they wrote it down 40 years later, right? But that the New Testament was finished almost right away because if the temple was destroyed Certainly the Holy Spirit would have had Paul or the other writers of the New Testament Mentioned that event because Jesus prophesied it and the Bible is constantly talking about all the different prophecies And whenever we come across one in the in the Gospel of John I'm going to point that out to you go back to the Old Testament and show you that the prophecy that was fulfilled And that would have been one that was fulfilled. So the Bible certainly would have mentioned it So that's how we know that the Bible was you know, you know, Genesis to Revelation was finished Well before 70 ad all right well before 70 ad All right now turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 6 I want to explore this idea where Jesus says in verse number 21 But he spake of the temple of his body when he said you know destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up. He was literally talking about himself. He was talking about his physical body Which is interesting because that reflects directly upon us as believers in Christ The Bible says that your body is a temple So it matches what Jesus says in John chapter 2 look at 1st Corinthians chapter 6 look at verse number 19 1st Corinthians chapter 6 and verse number 19 the Bible says what no ye not you're going to keep your place in 1st 1st Corinthians 6 even when we flip to other chapters because I'm gonna I'm gonna go to some verses before this as well But the Bible says what no ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you So first of all what happened when you were saved when you were saved as Ephesians chapter 1 says when you were saved You were literally sealed by the Holy Spirit. That was the mechanics of it You know God actually gave you an earnest the Bible says which was the the Holy Spirit was the earnest of your inheritance Meaning God gave you a down payment of the Holy Spirit. Look that actually happened to you when you got saved You got that Holy Spirit put in you and it it seals you All right, so the Bible is saying in 1st Corinthians 6 that your body is literally the temple of the Holy Ghost Which is in you which you have of God and ye are not your own Why so the Bible here is saying this is a pretty important verse For a lot of the things that we're interested in this church right here Okay, it says that our body is a temple meaning. It's a it is a building it houses It is a it is a is a dwelling place of The Holy Spirit the Holy Ghost that's a dwelling place of God Which is in us and the Bible says we do not belong To ourselves you're like what the Bible says that you your body does not belong to you Why it is talking to the Corinthian church. It is talking to saved people here That is something not to understand here and this is look this was super valid in the last couple years This was super important in the last two or three years, especially some of the things that went on in this country These verses right here talking about how our bodies Are a dwelling place for the Holy Ghost and our bodies are not ours. Well, who's are they then look at the next verse? For you are bought with a price. What was that price? Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God So my body is God's because what because he bought it He paid for it with what with the blood of Jesus Christ So our body is a temple a dwelling place of the Holy Ghost and it is not mine it is not mine because The Lord Jesus Christ bought and paid for it with his own blood That is super important right there as a matter of fact this are this this doctrine right here was the doctrine That you know people put forth to tell people you couldn't make them do medical things to themselves and Take shots that they didn't want to take One of the ironies about this and if you had a religious exemption that you had to use at work or whatever This was the core if I wrote it Right here that our bodies are not our own They were paid for by the blood of Christ and they house the Holy Spirit So we are not to just go and just do whatever we want To our bodies, you know just go and just but see here's the irony Here's the irony for once and it usually doesn't work this way But the irony of the last couple of years with the COVID stuff is is that it was that it was the non Religious people that had the most trouble Even though they were being logical there were being reasonable reasonable saying I don't think that something That's not really been tested and it was really rushed to market and I don't really need it because I'm probably I'm Pretty healthy, you know, it was them that had trouble Because they had no, you know the actual law in this country, you know the Civil Rights Act it protects religious belief not logical belief So it was this doctrine that was the core if you had a you know a religious exemption that you needed to use there All right, and actually when it comes to every single rights argument This really is the doctrine right here really that no no secular Leader can just go and tell you to do something to yourself or with yourself or have you go do something immoral I mean the Bible is literally saying here that no, you know God owns your body And this fits perfectly with Romans 13 where you know, we always have to obey the higher powers meaning somebody can't tell me to do something immoral because I Obey the higher powers why because my body is not my own because why because God bought it with the blood of his son Jesus Christ And my body literally not only did God buy my body with the blood of Christ, but my body literally houses God It literally is used as a vessel to carry around the Holy Spirit So yeah, nobody can tell me to do something immoral with my body, but The problem is people don't need to be told to do things immoral with their body They just do it anyway, but we should start to think about things a little bit different when we think about our bodies actually being a temple of the Holy Ghost I Mean you should think about sin a little bit differently when you think about your body in that sense That your body is literally a temple a Tabernacle a tent a building a vessel that is carrying around the Holy Ghost That's why I turn to James chapter one. You're gonna keep your place in first Corinthians chapter six, but turn to James chapter one That's why in the irony so we're gonna talk about your physical body a little bit tonight All right, we're gonna talk about your physical body. That's why you know It's ironic and it's somebody brought this up soul winning, but look sin destroys your physical body. Did you know that?  I mean I just love it That that old those 60s and 70s cars where you got that that unburnt gasoline vapor I mean it's just like if anything smells better than that. I've not smelled it.  I like that ice cream good Hey ice cream, okay ice cream four times a day not okay, right? The Bible says this says when lust have conceived it bring it forth sin and sin when it is finished bring it forth Death now we teach this all the time out soul winning that you know the wages of sin is Death and then we talk about the second death and the spiritual death, but the truth of the matter is there's a physical death, too There's a physical death, too, and sin will destroy you physically and That's actually the context if you go back to 1st Corinthians chapter 6. That's actually the context of What Paul is talking about when he says your town your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost look at verse 18 Go back a couple verses and look at verse 18 He's actually talking about the entire context of 1st Corinthians chapter 6 is the idea of your body belonging to God But he's talking about it in the specific context of the sin of fornication look at verse 18 The Bible says flee fornication Every sin that a man doeth without the body, but he that committed fornication Sineth against his own body. This is literally saying right here I mean this is this is super important verse right here because fornication and it's not just in the United States today Fornication throughout history has been one of the first sins that is just widely accepted in a society that is turning It's back on God is one of the first things that people just you know run to and I'll show you a couple examples of it In the Old Testament, but it's talking about fornication destroying your physical body Look at verse 15 Here's another thing to realize about your actual body and he's talking he's teaching this as well So your body is a temple of the Holy Ghost, but your body also has something to do with Christ as well It's not just that it was bought by Christ purchased with Christ blood, but in verse 15 It says no you not there are bodies your bodies are the members of Christ Shall I then again he's talking about the context of fornication shall I then take the members of Christ when he says members He's not talking about like we all signed a book and we're all members of a club He's talking about members like arms and legs and and he's talking about appendages He's saying your bodies are members of Christ shall I then take the members of Christ and make them the members of an Harlot God forbid he's saying you are all like so this church right here We are all that's what we're talking about when we say we are the body of Christ why because we are all Appendages of Christ here So you say should someone that is in the body of Christ that is an arm of Christ a leg of Christ a foot of Christ should should they be Harlot should they be in fornication should they be in in filth he's saying no But the Bible here is telling is telling you that you know your body is a member of this body of Christ You are a temple of the Holy Ghost Paul is trying to convince you like a be clean Be healthy don't destroy this thing that is supposed to be good That's what he is teaching here.    That's just the way it is You're like, oh, well, it's just normal and it's accepted. But why though it doesn't even make logical sense That it would be you know, just openly accepted. So the Bible saying flee run from it get away from it as fast as you can Teach it to your children as well That's why it's such a big deal For that to be in the church and it's one of the things that will really get someone kicked out of church Turn to Acts chapter 15 fornication is literally not to go off on fornication, but fornication is so bad It is so bad that it is literally it made the shortlist in Acts chapter 15 of the things that they decided to tell the Gentiles They're like, okay, you know, they're everyone's out there preaching to the Gentiles They need to get circumcised to be saved. There was this big conference in Jerusalem in the decided Okay, we got this big problem You know everyone all the all the Jews that got saved are freaking out that all these Gentiles are now in the church And they got saved too y'all they save people they have nothing in common their cultures are completely different And so the some of the same people try telling these people just to you know They try to control them right just like what happens today. So they change their doctrine. No, you have to be circumcised You have to do this you have to do that. The problem is they tied it to salvation So finally James just comes out and says hey, let's just tell them to do these couple things and that will fix The problem nothing to do with salvation just tell them to get these things right look at one of them was look at Acts 15 20 But we write under them that they have stain from pollutions of idols. So let's get rid of the idolatry. That's not going to work in church and from fornication and from things strangled and from blood Turn to 1st Corinthians chapter 10 Actually, you turn to numbers chapter 25. I'll just read for you 1st Corinthians chapter 10 in verse number 8 Fornication is so bad. It but it's it's not just today. It's not just America today It's any society that just turns from God immediately goes into this immediately Accepts this and just you know accept it as normal and something that's okay But it's not something just because you're saved. It is not something that God is just going to let go And that's why it's preached so hard against from you know in any church that is that is reading and preaching the Bible It's preached very hard against look at 1st Corinthians chapter 10 Actually, you're in numbers chapter 25. I'm going to read for you 1st Corinthians 10 8 neither let us commit fornication as some of them committed and fell in one day twenty and three or Three and twenty thousand it's talking about numbers chapter 25 Where the Bible says in Israel abode in shittim and the people began to commit hordom with the daughters of Moab remember This is the story of Balaam and Balak where Balaam, you know wants the money so bad, but God won't let him curse Israel So basically Balaam just he he doesn't curse Israel, but he goes to Balaq He wants the money from Balaq so badly that he goes to Balaq and he says hey, you know what just live amongst them Just just make it so they don't separate from you just be friendly with them and look what happens They start committing fornication with them and then they started sacrificing to their gods and then In the verse number nine God sends a plague God sends a plague to basically punish the children of Israel And it says and they that died in the plague were 20 and four thousand So God judges fornication even amongst the saved even amongst his own people God will judge Fornication and I've mentioned this before I'll just mention it real quickly This is one of like the big Bible contradictions that people think like oh the Bible's wrong They they made a mistake they put a three when they were supposed to be a four in all this because first Corinthians 10 8 says they They died in the plague three and twenty thousand so that'd be twenty three thousand and then in numbers chapter 25 verse 9 It says those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand, but it says in First Corinthians chapter 10 verse 8 it says those that fell in one day was twenty and three thousand So obviously, you know a thousand more died later, I mean Man solved solved that mystery that was difficult. I Mean that's that's how all Bible contradictions are it's just something silly where somebody's Read one page in the Bible for five minutes in their life, and they're like got it Figured it out right all right turn to Proverbs chapter 23 So we're back to this idea that sin like destroys you physically So the idea the example in first Corinthians chapter 6 was fornication And that's a big one because it's it's talking about fornication is literally just a sin against your own body So like yes, you know your body's telling you to do it and your your flesh says that you want to do that and that it's good But it's literally destroying yourself. All right look at Proverbs chapter 23 another Common sin that is actually tied to fornication that destroys your body as alcohol drugs and just drunkenness in general Just not being sober in general look at verse 23 or verse 29 of Proverbs 23 The Bible says who hath woe who have sorrow who have Contensions and then look at this who have babbling who have wounds without cause meaning you're gonna be your physical body is Going to be wounded who hath redness of eyes It's that they that tarry long at the wine they that go to seat mixed wine Look not upon the wine when it is red We looked at this a couple weeks ago when they give it this color in the cup when it move it itself a right Look at verse 33 says Thine eyes shall behold strange women and thine heart shall utter perverse things So this is literally saying that if you know if you go into this drunkenness You're gonna be wounded without cause you're gonna get in fights all these different things I mean this is both fights right here, right? I mean, you know, I mean do do is our men our group of young men more or less likely to fight if they're all drunk I mean, this is what this is talking about. It's just a biblical truth right here But then it's saying they're gonna go to fornication to it says their eyes will behold strange women strange women means Women they don't know women that they normally wouldn't be around, you know women that are just like they're unknown They're from their their mole bites Yeah, that then verse 34 is more physical harm Yeah That shall be as though that lies down in the midst of the sea or he that lies upon the top of a mass You wouldn't be in these places because you would be worried about your physical security They have stricken me thou shalt say and I was not sick They have beaten me and I felt it not when I shut when shall I awake? I shall seek it again So it's talking about drunkenness and not being sober actually tied to fornication Filth and just generally look generally alcohol and drugs. I mean there's plenty of examples around this around around The cities for us to see this it destroys your physical health it destroys your body It destroys I can't tell you how many people I've met in my life That literally I mean people that are you would think are normal people that they're they go to work every day that that they're literally they have high blood pressure and They have like they're pre-diabetic and they have all these health problems and they're done They drink alcohol all the time And their doctor like doesn't even ask they're just like there are all these medications for all these problems This is not you know the drug addict in the alley. This is just like a normal person That's just like having high blood pressure, you know pre-diabetic all kinds of other health problems just from what from drinking From drinking and that that's what leads to it And then they live with hypertension and high blood pressure for decades and they get what? They get heart disease And heart disease kills like one in four people in the United States.  They die of heart disease It's been going on for years and years in years So look, it's it's it's also I mean depression anxiety stroke Suicide it's all due to you know alcohol substance abuse people doing what I mean cirrhosis of the liver All these things are just people destroying their body through what through sin Their physical body So sin literally wrecks you physically. That's the first point. I want to make it Yes, sin if you're unsaved is going to send you to the second death that spiritual death But if you're saved sin can still destroy your physical body It can destroy your health the second one is this When it comes to our physical body We should make an effort to stay physically strong You say what do you mean? And this is a huge problem in America today This is a huge problem in our country and in our culture today Our body is a temple of the Holy Ghost our body is a member of the body of Christ Your physical body is a member of Jesus Christ body When you think about it that way you should you should try a little harder to make yourself healthy and keep yourself Strong turn the Proverbs chapter 31. Let me give you a couple examples of women. Look, this is one of the biggest lies That my generation was taught right here this idea this idea that that Physical activity Physical work going to work and having a job where you actually do something physical is bad It's a huge lie This idea that I should pursue a career for 30 years for 35 years and have my one goal Be to just get to this point right where I cross this finish line And I'm just pursuing this life where I can just flip this switch and it's just like do nothing now leisure now It's it's false It's false, and I can't tell you as you get older and you see people execute this type of plan Live a maybe they have a physical job Maybe they don't but then they get across that finish line and they do nothing and they're dead in just a few years I mean, why is that because look you need to be doing something physical? It's good for you It keeps you strong. I'm gonna prove it to you here.  Yes women should be strong look at verse 16 of Proverbs 31 The idea that hard work that actual physical work is bad is a huge lie You know what it's been sold it's been sold to my generation heavily and it's being sold the generations beyond me as well But it's a lie You know they came out they've come out with studies now that say having a job where you are not physically active Where you are having that desk job like man. I got that desk job.  That's why you're starting to see all the standing desks everywhere The next one's gonna be like standing at a desk kills you too You're gonna figure that one out in a couple of years, too Look at Proverbs 31 of verse 16 Look at the virtuous woman here The Bible says she consider at the field and buyeth it with the fruit of her hands She planted the vineyard she girdeth her loins with strength and she strengthened it her arms. This woman is Active this woman is out there and she is physically strong because why? Because she's active. She's not just laying around She's not just laying around not doing anything. You know watching Oprah or whatever that was a bad example Turn to Ruth chapter 2 Turn to Ruth chapter 2 look at verse 15 of Ruth chapter 2 Ruth is the only I'm not saying Ruth Is the only virtuous woman in the Bible, but she's the only woman in the Bible that's actually called a virtuous woman Look at Ruth chapter 2 in verse 15. What was Ruth doing and when she was risen up to glean Boas commanded his young men saying let her glean even among the sheaves and reproach her not and Let fall also some of the handfuls of purpose for her and leave them that she may glean them and rebuke her not So she gleaned what's she doing? She's going behind the harvester and she's trying to provide Food for herself and for her mother-in-law here And so she's going and she's literally picking up the scraps the gleanings From what the harvesters left behind and Boas this nice man is saying hey put some extra stuff on the ground for her He has respect for her.  She's out there. She's working hard She's just working hard every single day and Boas is like he sees that and he respects it She gleaned in the field until even and beat out the hand beat out that she had gleaned and it was about an e-file of barley She went out and she worked from from morning till night And then she went and she beat out that she had gleaned And in verse 11 of chapter 3 it says and now my daughter fear not I will do all the that thou requires for all the city of my people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman look How what what was virtuous about Ruth? I'm sure a lot of things but the things that the Bible tells us is that she was very Diligent and she was hard working and she looked she was physically strong She was physically strong. How about the men turn to 2nd Samuel chapter 23 Turn to 2nd Samuel chapter 23 You look at the example of the mighty men and I mean I don't know what to tell you But I mean you probably can't even we can't even relate to this We can't even relate to this That's why people read this stuff today and they look at these mighty men and they look at the things that they did They're like, oh that can't be possible. Yeah for the average American. It's not possible not even close But look at verse 28 just a couple examples here These be the names of the mighty men whom David had the tachymite that sat in the seat chief among the captains The same was a Dedo the ends night he lift up the as night he lift up a spear against 800 whom he slew it one time After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the ahoite One of the three mighty men with David when they defiled the Philistines that were there gathered together to battle and the men of Israel had gone away He arose and smoked the Philistines until his hand was weary and his hand clave unto the sword and the Lord Wrought a great victory that day and the people returned After him only to spoiled so you got one guy that that goes and kills 800 men in battle. This is a hand-to-hand combat You got another guy that goes and fights so hard that literally his hand just locks up on the sword He can't let go of the sword like that's a physical thing that'll happen to you They used to happen to me in a six-minute wrestling match Your hands just like you can't open your hands anymore because you work so hard, but you couldn't open his hand Like these were obviously extremely physically strong men Now let's look at men in the United States today No, this is a real thing here what I'm about to read you is real is going to scare you Okay, this is going to make you want to go on more hikes. I'm telling you a 2016 study first of all and I've mentioned this before but this is real This is really happening testosterone levels in men in the United States are dropping on average by 1% per year since the 1980s You're like what in the world? I used to be confused what that was happening. I'm going to tell you why it's happening tonight a 2016 study you say what effects is that having it's making men weaker? It's making men Experimentally observably weaker in this country a 2016 study showed that the average 20 to 34 year old man Could apply 98 pounds of force with a right-hand grip This is down from 117 pounds in 1985 So over the period of 30 years men have literally gotten, you know, literally almost 30% weaker Say what do you mean weaker emotionally spirit? No physically weaker like a young man a 19 year old man I'm 1985 could whoop the snot of a 19 year old man and today That's what this is saying. Why because they're weaker They're less manly now turn to Jeremiah 51 Now turn to Jeremiah chapter 51. I love when like, you know secular science like catches up to the Bible Thousands of years later. It's it's always kind of nice when that happens Jeremiah 51 verse 30 Jeremiah 51 verse 30 the Bible says this it says the mighty man of Babylon I mean, this is nothing new what's happening here today. It's nothing new You know, it may be you know have a little bit new of a twist, you know We probably didn't have Oreo cookies back in Jeremiah Jeremiah's time But you know look at verse 30 says the mighty man of Babylon at four born to fight. They've remained in their holds. They might have failed I mean, they might have failed meaning they're not strong They're weak. They became as women. What does that mean? I mean, it means they're weak Means they're weak They have burned her dwelling places her bars are broken. No, look I get that that was judgment In Jeremiah 51 and that it's judgment on the United States. I get that But what can I do? What can we do to not have this? You know physical judgment happened to us. That's that's the thing for five or ten years I've read this this testosterone dropping thing for years and years and years I've been reading it for 20 years and it's confused me. I mean, why is this happening? Is it something in the water? It probably is something in the water, too, but From the endocrine society, and I agree with this 100% is exactly what it is. It's the Bible But it from the endocrine society. This is what they say It finds that the drop in testosterone testosterone levels over time in in man in the United States is from a man's behavioral and health changes and Not so much by aging See, it's not about and that matches exactly what the Bible teaches Because I'm gonna read you some things about some old men in the Bible that show show us that we don't have to go through this You know, we don't have to have you know this happen. Look It's it's lifestyle. It's that sin in people's lives. It's that sin.  It's scientifically proven Yet, what is what does Satan you know convinced everybody today? What does a tough guy do in the United States? He drinks beer and he drinks whiskey and all this kind of stuff No, it's turning him into a woman It's making him weak is what the Bible teaches. It's a sedimentary lifestyle That is making this happen It's this behavior. It's this It's this epidemic of obesity and diabetes and depression and just like it's low standard Food and all this stuff. I mean when I say low standard food. I mean Doritos and Oreo cookies and this stuff wasn't around There was some documentary. I've never seen it. I don't know what it's called I can't even say I recommend it, but I've heard people talk about it for a year You know, I've heard it brought up in conversations About some guy that went around the world studying people that lived over a hundred years old And like I don't know if it was tribes or whatever and I'm not like saying we should all go live in the jungle somewhere But he's like he's looking at these people and like what it all comes down to and what every diet today has in common Is that it's just you're not supposed to just like fill yourself full of all this process stuff that never existed Before the United States It's like we just created all this stuff You know, I mean there was no, you know Moses wasn't popping Oreo cookies in the wilderness You know, I mean it wasn't even an option back then I mean, that's why a third of Americans are either diabetic or they're gonna have diabetes a third So a third of them have STDs a third of them are gonna have diabetes. I mean, it's a disaster It's a health disaster. And then you then you add to this that oh, yeah, testosterone levels are dropping Well, of course they are When you look at the actual things that are actually happening like of course they are turn to first Timothy chapter 4 first Timothy chapter 4 Actually go back to first Corinthians 15 go to first Corinthians chapter 15 Look, none of us folks none of us are guaranteed another day on earth I get that and we shouldn't be just you know, the the Bible says in first Timothy 4 but the bodily exercise Profit of little but it doesn't say a prophet of nothing and I get it You know, none of us are guaranteed another day and to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord I I get all that but I just want to shorten my life here because of sin and and stupid Lost of the flesh that that's all I'm trying to get you to see tonight You know, your body is not yours. Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit You know, we shouldn't have unhealthy lifestyles. This body is a gift You know this body everybody's physical body is a gift whether they're saved or not That's why the guy that says what's God ever done for me.  It's talking about the resurrection. We're gonna get glorified bodies We're not gonna have all these problems, but it says this corruptible must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on Immortality so when this corruptible shall put on incorruption and this mortal shall it put on immortality Then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written death is swallowed up in victory So right now our bodies are corruptible meaning what they can be broken You know, they can be wrecked. They can be you you can break it That's that's what you can corrupt this thing through sin through your lifestyle Be a good steward Be a good steward if you know doing these things turn to Joshua chapter 14 You know and look if you have if you have us a more sedentary Lifestyle job you need to figure out some other things You need to figure out how to keep moving in your life You need to have Activities outside of your job, you know because there is I mean frankly there is a lot of jobs where there's just not a lot They're just not a lot of physical activity and you need to supplement physical activity More than the guy that has the job that is doing physical activity all day long But he's gonna be healthier by default than you are you have to work harder at Supplementing those things so you would go to your sedimentary job and sit at a desk all day long And then you will have to go home and you will have to exercise and make sure you have activities that keep you moving And or you are going to suffer But that's what the Bible is teaching us here That's what the Bible is teaching you know and look a lot of people think that you know I'm young I can get away with doing whatever I want I'm young I can eat what I want. I can I can drink. I'm I'm 25 years old I can drink alcohol. I just want to have fun now, you know, no problem I can't tell you, you know, I'm not old, but I'm old enough to have seen many many people get old and Regret those decisions they made when they were 25 they were 30 and they were 35 or heard people say to me I never would have done those things if I'd have known I Be in this situation now. I should have never Drank I should have never smoked. I should have never lived that type of life Because there's nothing they can do about it now Just remember you will be 80 one day, you know God willing you will be 90 One day look at Joshua chapter 14. Look at verse number seven Caleb is a great example for us Look at Joshua 14 in verse number seven Caleb says this he says 40 years old was I when Moses the servant of the Lord Sent me from Cades Barnea to a spy out the land and brought him word again as it was in my heart Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt But I holy followed the Lord my God We heard a great sermon about holy following the Lord on Friday night but Caleb's talking about how him and Joshua were the only ones that You know literally just did what they were just stayed faithful to God Everybody else just ran away. Look at verse number nine and Moses swear on that day saying surely the land We're on my feet have trodden shall be thine inheritance and my children's forever Because thou has holy followed the Lord my God and now behold the Lord has kept me alive As he said these 40 and five years this guy's 85 years old right now Even since the Lord spake this word unto Moses while the children of Israel wandered in the wilderness And now low. I am this day four score and five years old. Look at this as Yet I am strong this day as I was in the day that Moses sent me as my strength was then even so is my strength now For war both to go out and to come in he's saying I can still fight Just strong at 85 as I was when I was 40. I bet you this guy wasn't a sluggered. I Bet you this guy didn't have a sedimentary lifestyle. We're just late around I bet you this guy from the time he was 40 to the time. He was 85. He never stopped moving in Deuteronomy 347. I'll just read it for you. It says and Moses was a hundred and twenty Years old when he died his eye was not dim nor his natural force abated You know what that means he was still strong Man, that would be nice. I'm sure Moses was blessed, but you know what I'm sure he was active too I'm sure he was moving around and he certainly wasn't eating Doritos and Oreos Because I mean Sin will destroy your body folks living in an unhealthy lifestyle will destroy your body the more time you spend in these things the worst it will be and Another thing is that we need to understand as homeschooling parents that we need to teach this to our children as well You'll notice a pattern as you get older in your life, and you'll notice a pattern that unhealthy people Have unhealthy children It's almost a hundred percent If you see somebody that just has a terrible unhealthy lifestyle with that mean like I'm not trying to make fun of anybody's you know Weight or anything like that, but I mean it's just like you see people that have just like a problem with you know How they eat and just their lifestyle and they're very unhealthy people they will have unhealthy children Because we need to teach that we need to teach diet and exercise and that lifestyle as part of homeschooling It's a it's a life skill. I mean taking care of yourself physically is a life skill You want to be as strong as possible when you're old I want to be out soul-winning like some of the folks in this church That's that's a goal of of mine to be out soul-winning. You know when I get older in my life But it's it's all about reaping and sowing when it comes to your physical temple And this is a personal, you know, it just is just an example of that what you sow today.  That's that's what happens You got to think about Tomorrow your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost and your body is literally an appendage of Christ body when you think about it that way, you know We should think about how we treat this thing. Let's bow our heads and have a word


July was a crazy month for my stock photo sales with lots of firsts. I'm going to go through them all in this video. So let's get right into it. One thing that didn't change with my July photo sales was Envanto was the number one stock site for revenue, and I don't think this is going to change for a while because of the way Envanto calculates the earnings is going to typically be number one. However, my second highest earnings site did change. This is the first month that Adobe Stock has ever been my second highest site, and this is the first time that Adobe Stock's earnings have ever been higher than my Shutterstock earnings. Now, this is a big change from a year or two ago. Typically, Shutterstock was always my number one or my number two site. Sometimes, you know, I get some big sales on something like 500 PX, and it would be a big month, but never consistently. Shutterstock has always been my best consistent earner. But over the last year, Shutterstock has been consistently going down slightly, and Adobe Stock has been going up slightly. And it's gotten to the point where Adobe Stock is higher than Shutterstock. Now, this is going to be a big change for me. Like, typically, when somebody asks me, you know, I'm starting out in stock. What's the first site that I should go to? I always say Shutterstock. But if this keeps happening consistently where Adobe Stock is higher than Shutterstock, my answer to that question is going to change. All right, now, number four on my list is a huge surprise. My fourth highest revenue for the month was Pexels.  So I upload my photos there, and anybody can use them for free commercially or for whatever they want. Okay, so you might be wondering, how do you make money on that? Well, when someone downloads the photo, they're prompted to give a donation or share on one of the social networks. Okay, and last month, one person gave a $20 donation, another person gave a $25 donation, and I also had some smaller donations. Okay, now, you might be wondering, well, about 20 plus 25, why is the revenue only $44? Well, it's because PayPal does take account of that, and I only keep track of what I actually receive, okay? But this is huge, thank God. I've only got about 100 photos, 115 photos on Pexels, and I've got 3, 400 photos on a number of other sites, and I'll put a list up here, okay? So for my photos, I would actually make more money giving them away for free than I would on selling them on these other sites these days. And some of these sites used to be very big productive sites, like Dreamstime, you know, 123RF deposit photos, I still typically make a fair amount of money off those. So it's crazy that I'm making more donations off a free stock photography site than I am on these paid sites. Now, moving down the list, on Big Stock Photo, I had my biggest month since April 2017, so it's been a couple of years since I've had a month this big. This is great, especially considering last month, I actually made no sales on Big Stock Photo. So it really just shows you how the changes month over month can happen on one stock site.  And I don't have many photos, I typically don't upload there because I only make a couple of dollars a month, so it's not really worth the time. So it's pretty crazy that I actually had a decent sized month here. However, I don't expect this to continue, it's probably just a few, but it would be cool if actually those sales started to pick up. And finally, I've got a new addition to my list with my first sale ever on Canva. Now, it's not much, but I only uploaded my photos there two months ago, so it's good to see that I am getting some sales. And hopefully, the way this typically works is as you start to get sales, the algorithms will then show your photos more and your sales will pick up. So it'll be good to see what happens with this one in a couple of months because it could hopefully, as the site grows, become another good owner for me. Now, after a pretty low month in June with only $366, it's nice to see that my revenue kind of bounced back in July, edging over the $500 mark. Now, if you wanna see more of my stock earnings reports, you can go take a look at my stock earnings playlist and I've put a link to that up here. Also, make sure you subscribe to the channel and hit the notifications so you don't miss my future stock earnings reports like do this every month. Best of luck selling your photos online.


So, in Delta Dental Plan we know that it was started as NADSP in 1969, later its name changed to Delta Plan in 1969. So it follows UCR mechanism of percentile calculation we have already seen how to calculate percentiles and there is no profit. This is a non-profit association with along with Blue Cross and Blue Shield. So in Delta Dental Plan there are two types of dentists. So dentists can register in Delta Dental Plan as a participating dentist or non-participating dentist. So the criteria are different and the reimbursement mechanism is different. So let's see what are the basic difference between the participating dentists and non-participating dentists. The first and foremost difference is the reimbursement amount. So the participating dentist will be getting at a 90th percentile reimbursement. For the same treatment the non-participating will get only the 50th percentile. So that is a huge difference of reimbursement. But the participating dentist has to pre-file his usual fee. So we have seen what is usual, what is customary and what is reasonable fee. So he has to file the usual fee. But he doesn't need to file usual fee. For participating dentists there will be auditing of his accounts by the Delta Dental Plan auditors. But he is having no auditing of his accounts. Then there will be post quality check evaluation by the inspectors from the Delta Dental Plan in case of participating dentist. But there is no quality check in non-participating dentist. So the participating dentist can take up patients only from the Delta Dental Plan patients. From the patients those who have registered in Delta Dental Plan he can't take up any other plan patients. There are other plans like Capitation Plan, Blue Cross, Blue Shield Plans. So such plans of patients participating dentists cannot take up. But non-participating dentist can give treatment to any patients from any scheme. So he can include any patients.  But this non-participating dentist non-need to give such funds. So non-participating dentist has so much benefits. This is we cannot say it is benefits, but benefit for the dentist, not for the patient.  So that is Delta Dental Plan.


Do you have any sense of what religion will be in the future of civilization? Religion was an early attempt to answer the questions we all ask. Why are we here? Where did we come from? Nowadays, science provides better and more consistent answers, but people will always cling to religion because it gives comfort and they do not trust or understand science. Here's my question. How can something come from nothing? That's a scientific impossibility. Without God, there's no objective morality. Everything is subjective. There's no truth, no right or wrong. We're just fizzing chemicals and meat bags. But God does exist and He created us in His image with value and worth, but we've reveled against Him and sought our own sinful desires. And because God is good, He has to punish sin.   And today, friend, you are called to repent for your sin and put your faith in Him.


What's up developers and problem solvers rod checking in want to bring you guys another video today And today we're gonna give you guys ten awesome web development projects They're gonna help you take your career to the next level and get you that job you want And I'm gonna help you guys with that first of all guys My name is rod if you guys don't know who I am I help developers really take their skills to the next level and really put you in a position to win So let's start with the first thing first guys Projects separate the weak developers from the strong a lot of you guys are into this coding tutorial Rabbit hole you are scared to come out of it You just learning learning learning without actually doing any projects because you know I don't know why you know that you're gonna get feedback once you start doing some projects And it's gonna really kind of dictate if you wasted a ton of time programming Well writing code and not necessarily Actually do projects guys so I'm gonna help you guys really kind of niche down narrow down your focus So that you can focus on some of these projects that's gonna really help take your portfolio your resume your job Interviewing process to the next level so that you can get that job that you want guys So that being said first of all guys If you guys already know I started off as a database developer doing a lot of stuff on EDI side moving Data that kind of stuff on a regular basis when I first started I had zero programming skills I had technical skills doing PC repair and all that stuff, but no programming skills specifically So I primarily worked help desk we're helped out the system administrators with server management No necessarily a programming experience at the beginning, but what I did do though is in college I took some cobalt classes when I actually went to school as a business information system Degrees if you guys know business information systems is basically computer science and business smashed together you get business information system So the program of that school choice Mississippi State was cobalt, which is outdated No, we'll go into that at a different time, but it was programming I was able to learn the fundamentals get a good nice field of programming and kind of start from there But guys it didn't prepare me for the actual Projects and the level stuff that I had to do at my current job at the time Anything really dealing with databases functions arrays any of that net any depth stuff So no experience with that whatsoever. So I did my Coding or did my technical projects everything was good. Well, there was a Opportunity to actually do EDI which is electronic data interchange and it's heavily relied on that net coding and really kind of working Conditional statements or rays variables all that stuff. So at the time we didn't have anybody So they kind of threw me in there as a stopgap more just to watch the system Not necessarily break anything, but don't build anything either. So, you know, I work with support I had help as far as just their support, but they didn't allow me to test the system. Well, I I Took that opportunity to actually learn how to code guys I spent probably about three months of my life really digging deep and trying to learn how to code and Really kind of take my coldest years in next level. I can I can honestly say during those three months I've learned more about coding in those three months than I have the last three five years In those three months because I was day in day out just pounding it learning variables arrays Conditional statements select statements any and everything about coding. I was into it to get these codes bang these projects out guys And I'm gonna give you 10 of these projects That's gonna allow you guys to get that opportunity as well long story short. I was able to get that job They hired me on as a full-time software developer and the rest is history Now I want to share some of those 10 awesome program our projects with you guys That's gonna help you take things to the next level yourself But before we get started, obviously, there's more than 10 projects guys I have links below to my seven-step guide.

Go check those out and support the channel guys And it's gonna help you take your career to the next level also So all of those links are in the description box. Go check that out number one project guys Every system has a core management system If you're in transportation have transportation management system health care health care management system stocks and buying probably have some kind of Trading bought or some kind of system that's gonna house all your orders all your trade and Is probably have a database front-end back in and that's gonna be their core management system They need developers to integrate different Plug-ins different modules into that system This is a great opportunity for beginners to get started because you guys you can find out what that client Uses as far as just a management system go online do a quick Google search and find the top 10 add-ons for that particular Module and these are things that you can put on your resume that you can help The company you work for probably have a management system right now that they want some add-on But they have the current developers really is not motivated to add them on you can do that and start off guys So start looking at the core management systems and the add-on modules and really cut kind of cold those out And good thing about all that most of us on get hub stack overflow It's pretty readily available for the more popular one sales force is another one guys jump on that quick number two digitizing paper Processes guys you any anytime you see a sheet of paper and it hasn't printed out us Of a content management system or any kind of management system That's an opportunity actually to start a project digitize that paper start imaging start web forms Anytime you see paper that starts a process where somebody's Mainly filling out a sheet of paper and they have to actually put it in a file cabinet They don't have a system that they important any and you automatically That's a project that I can do to help scale that company because I guarantee you That form that they need that they just filled out eight different departments and that's department That's not even including all the people in the organization need to have access to that paper And if you can digitize that as fast as possible give everybody access start a workflow That'll be perfect guys. There's a lot of cold net PHP imaging system forms wordpress that takes advantage of that to business process automation guys This is a wide range. This is goes into Anything Excel anything human like unstructured processes guys you need to jump on this I use whoo I just went blank I There's a lot of options out there guys comment below on which one you go to It's been a while since I've been in there. I got it on tipping my tongue, but I just forgot it at our RPA path but anyways guys RPA the business process automation go check that out huge opportunity in that and this take is basically the groundwork for AI and Automation and machine learning so go ahead check that out number four Workflow optimization this gonna go along with RPA guys anytime you have workflows that are not optimal Business processes things that go across department across people you need to automate that that's gonna really kind of take your Projects to the next level number five analytics dashboard reporting alerting all of that I kind of put in one Segment or one category because it really starts It's a it's a great way to get started and it's a big impact project and a lot of developers think hey I'm a software developer. I don't necessarily write reports Well anytime you display content or data to a end user in a GUI interface You're doing a certain level of reporting. It's not a formal report that you're doing out of SSRS or any Tableau related tool, but it's a great way to get started if I had to pick one of these just to get started with Reporting is the best way because this is how I got started.

Think of a person, someone who is young, filled with hopes and dreams. At that stage, when support is more important than ever, having access to a safe place to live, education, employment, health care, and social connection is fundamental. Can you imagine being deprived of these because of who you are? Young LGBTIQ-plus people are often left without a home, without community or government protection while facing constant discrimination and violence. Now think of that same young person again. This time, they are not only dreaming, but they are thriving. The difference is, they have access to all these fundamental rights. We must work with young LGBTIQ-plus people. Together, we can create inclusive, affordable housing, where they can have the opportunity to be their best selves. Together, we can build a world where every young person has a safe place to call home, no matter who they are or who they love.


Syllables are important for short kinds of poems known as haiku. Haiku are a Japanese art form. They are based on syllables and do not rhyme. In English, haiku have three lines. There are 17 syllables. Let's go to the blackboard. Here is how the syllable structure for a haiku in English looks.


I think that as a white person I don't want to say that I should be allowed anywhere. As a white person I don't want to say that I should be allowed anywhere. And I think it should be up to those organizations to decide. I'm sure that by now everybody has seen this video from the University of Virginia showing a student in a multicultural center standing up and asking the white people to leave because it's making the so-called POCs uncomfortable.  Why is that you may ask? The answer is that universities in school are teaching racism to so-called people of color while they're teaching the white students that they actually deserve it. This is a phenomenon that I first started noticing when I was graduating high school and moving on to college. Being a history buff I can see all the nuances, yet those nuances were never being discussed in the classroom in regards to topics like slavery. For example, African slavery went on for a lot longer and in much larger numbers in South America and the Middle East. And it's still going on in the Middle East. You can literally find videos of slave trades going on just a few years ago. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to downplay or excuse America's role in the evil of slavery. But the fact that it's being used as a justification for hate against whites today is just absurd. It was white people that ended slavery in Europe and America while black and brown people were still practicing it. I also noticed that when racism was being discussed in the media or academia, it was only ever addressed as a white issue.  Giving a justification and pass for as much hate as you want to throw at them.

You can see the end results of this indoctrination and an eye-opening video just put out by the Young Americans Foundation. Okay, so you guys saw the viral video. What are your thoughts on it? It was interesting because you could kind of take it two ways. I understand as like a person and call it like why that space is there in the first place. Pretty much fine. Like if that space is for them, I think it should kind of agree like that as like a white person. I guess just we have more areas where you can feel comfortable and if they don't feel comfortable in those other areas that it's nice for them to have a space where they do feel comfortable. Be mindful that it is a space where students of color go to be comfortable and to feel safe and supported. And when there's white students that are in there doing something that could be perceived as disrespectful, I mean you have to understand that that could be hurtful. You heard that right. This white student feels that it's okay to discriminate against whites and to dictate where they can and can't go based on nothing but their skin color. Plus these students seem more than willing to let racists who hate them make these decisions.  That it's normal for people of color to feel uncomfortable around whites? How about the other way around? What if white students wanted a special space so that they didn't have to feel uncomfortable around black and brown people? Of course, rightfully, this idea would be shouted down by these same ignorant fools. We'll need to be aware of the fact that it's not a space for them and make sure that like when they're entering their space or that space, they're not like taking up the space for other like people of color that want to use it. This is a multicultural space and it doesn't look multicultural. Then the multicultural people at UVA feel less comfortable here. I can't think of any space that's set up just for white people. There haven't been white only spaces for almost a hundred years. Black and brown people can be anywhere that a white person is. Do any of these people realize that what they're describing is racial segregation? What exactly do they think multicultural means? I think that UVA's statement was ridiculous and that it's a multicultural student's base and that white people need to be aware of the spaces that they occupy on grounds and that we need to all be aware of the kind of, I don't know, the way that we occupy spaces around everything and I think that she had a good point and she wasn't aggressive. She was very clear and concise with what she said and she had a good point. It's very hard for people to have a space where they feel like safe and the MSC is a place where we feel safe. Wow, literally just white people existing in a space is threatening the people of color. Again, multicultural inherently means people of all cultures. That includes whites. Why do all these people think multicultural means no whites? What's even more mind-blowing is the non-response from the president of UVA. He only begrudgingly made a Twitter post about it saying he received a lot of traffic about the incident at the MSC. To be clear, the MSC is for all students, but there is more to say than can be communicated in a short statement on social media. And I'm working on an essay for the Cavalry Daily, so those interested, stay tuned. He pretty much said the exact same thing in his essay. Why couldn't he just condemn racism in that Twitter post? That's all I have for you today. Make sure you head over to the Young Americans Foundation YouTube channel to check out the rest of this video and to subscribe.

So, we will redo some of the examples that we did before. So, this was the first example that we did earlier. So, here is a duct air comes in at 50 degree Celsius, one atmosphere 85 percent relative humidity volumetric flow rate is given heat is added here and the air leaves at with the relative humidity of 25 percent and at the same mixture pressure. So, we start by locating the inlet state on a psychrometric chart and that is shown here. So, state 1 is over here. So, state 1 is here. So, any two arrows I mean the incoming arrows denote properties that have been used to locate the state on a psychrometric chart. So, obviously, we need the two properties to or two quantities to fix the the state or locate the state in a psychrometric chart. So, the incoming arrows denote those properties or those quantities and the outgoing arrows indicate property values which have been looked up from the psychrometric chart for that particular state. So, in this case the temperature is given to be 5 degree Celsius relative humidity is 85 percent. So, we use the line of constant I mean line of phi equal to 85 which is this one here and temperature equal to 5 which is this one here to locate the state. Notice that this line corresponds to phi equal to 70. This line corresponds to phi equal to 80. This line corresponds to phi equal to 90. So, phi equal to 85 approximately is in between 80 and 90. So, we may fix the state here like this. Once the state is fixed we retrieve h star corresponding to that state. So, h 1 I am sorry h 1 star and we pick up V a 1. Omega 1 is also retrieved from the table as 4.5. So, this is omega 1. So, phi 1 is 85 percent, omega 1 is also retrieved from the table. So, we have retrieved h 1 star V a 1, omega 1 is also retrieved from the table although the exact value is not required, but anyway because omega 2 equal to omega 1. Now, state 2 may be located by using the fact that phi is equal to 25 and omega 2 equal to omega 1. So, omega is the value that is used to locate the state and phi equal to 25 percent the line is over here and we look up h 2 star for state 2. So, we look up h 2 star for state 2. Now, we proceed with the analysis mass flow rate of dry air may be evaluated as V 1 dot over V a 1 that is nothing, but 100 divided by V a 1 which we have looked up from the chart. So, that is simply 125.786. Application of first lot to the duct gives us this expression and we substitute the values directly we get 39.83. So, you may see now how easy it has become to do these calculations. Earlier we had to use a long expression to calculate V a 1.  So, we have to do all these calculations and then get eventually V a 1 whereas the chart contains all this information in a ready to use fashion all these things have already been done. Remember all these things that we just mentioned. Relative humidity, how to use this all these things are already embedded in the chart. So, it is straightforward to use and we just retrieve the values from the chart and then proceed with the calculations. So, all these intermediate steps or the calculations corresponding to all this are already embedded in the chart. So, we may directly look up the values and then do the calculation. So, this is how the psychrometric chart makes calculations much easier, not necessarily much more accurate. Whatever we did earlier actually is more accurate, but this is much more easy to use. Accuracy probably is compromised a little bit because we have to look it up from the chart and again some approximations have to be made when we are retrieving this from the chart. So, but that is acceptable and you may compare this value with the values that we calculated earlier and you will see that they are about the same not too different from one another. Let us just go back and quickly check. So, this we are getting 39.83 kilowatts. Let us see what we obtained before. So, we obtained 40.458. So, you can see what we what we did here. Partial pressure. So, this partial pressure was evaluated from the definition of relative humidity and so on. Now, all these calculations are conveniently embedded in the psychrometric chart. The values that we are getting are not that different from what we had obtained earlier. Let us go to the next example. So, here we had a duct and there is a cooling coil. So, air at 35 degrees Celsius, one atmosphere, 80 percent relative humidity comes in and heat is removed from the air. So, there is condensation and then the air leaves at 22 degrees Celsius and fully saturated because condensation is taking place. It is fully saturated. So, let us see how we locate the states on a psychrometric chart. So, 35 degrees Celsius, 80 percent relative humidity, state 1, relative humidity phi 1 is 80 percent, 35 degrees Celsius. So, this is T 1, 35 degrees Celsius. This is the line corresponding to phi equal to 80 percent. So, these are the two incoming arrows. So, we have fixed the state here like this and this is H 1 star and this is VA 1. So, we have retrieved VA 1. Notice that this line is parallel to lines of constant specific volume. So, lines of constant specific volume look like this. So, this corresponds to the line of constant specific volume that passes through this state. So, we have retrieved VA 1 also. So, this line corresponds to 0.9 for specific volume of dry air and this line corresponds to 0.9 and this would correspond to 0.92 for 1 meter cube per kg. So, this falls in between. So, we approximate using some interpolation and then retrieve VA 1. So, let us see what we have done here. So, we get VA 1 to be 0.915 based on interpolation and omega 1 is also retrieved. So, you can see that omega 1 is also retrieved from the tables. We point 029 kg vapor. Remember this is in the chart gives the values in grams of vapor per kg dry air. We convert that to kilogram. So, we get 0.029 kg vapor VA and H 1 star all have been retrieved from the chart. Now, the dry bulb temperature of state 2 and the relative humidity are both known which means remember this is the curve that corresponds to phi equal to 100 percent. So, phi 2 is equal to 100 percent and this temperature 22 degree Celsius this is the line for T2. This is T2. So, this is T2. So, the state has been located and this is nothing, but H2 star is nothing, but H2 star. So, we can retrieve H2 star also and omega 2 has also been retrieved from the chart. So, omega 2 basically is 16 about 17 grams of vapor per kg dry air. So, omega 2 is 0.0169 and H2 star is 64 actually. Let me see. So, mass flow rate of dry air is nothing, but V1 dot over VA1 and this is the value that we have retrieved. So, we may get it to be 131.15 kg per minute. So, basically when you want to interpolate for example, for VA1. So, you use a ruler and so, you know the distance here and the ruler gives you fine markings. So, basically you can use that to determine the value for this that is how you interpolate graphically on a chart like this. Similarly, for omega 2 also or omega 1 also for any variable basically you line up your ruler with the lines of a constant, with the two lines which correspond to the contours of the quantity that you are interested in, locate where your state is and then visually interpolate. So, mass balance of water across the control volume basically is water vapor that comes in minus water vapor that goes out. So, that comes out to be 1.5869 kg per minute which agrees well with what we had calculated earlier. Now, SFEA applied to the control volume gives us something like this. This value of course, has to be looked up from the steam table issues. So, we get Q dot to be minus 5755.44 which is about 27.28 tons. So, let us see what we obtained earlier. So, we obtained 27.17 tons. Now, we have 27.28 tons which is close enough for the ease and comfort that we get by using the chart the values are acceptable. Now, let us look at an example that we have not done before. So, here we have two unit processes namely dehumidification and heating together. So, air at 30 degree Celsius one atmosphere 80 percent relative humidity enters an insulated air conditioning duct where it is first cooled and dehumidified. So, we cool the air so the moisture condenses and the air leaves the duct because there is condensation air leaves the duct fully saturated. So, relative humidity goes up but temperature comes down. So, we then heat the air so that the relative humidity comes down and the temperature increases slightly but it does not matter because the relative humidity now is at a comfortable value. So, this is what is done in practical HVAC applications. So, we take the air cool it reduce its temperature. This process increases the relative humidity because the because of the condensation relative humidity becomes 100 percent. Then you heat the air so that the temperature increases slightly but the relative humidity comes down. So, you have a comfortable temperature as well as relative humidity. We will check it by looking at the temperature that we have here how much of how much has the temperature increased as a result of heating. We will take a look at that also. So, this puts together both dehumidification as well as control of relative humidity without adding moisture just by adding heat. So, we are asked to do the calculation for unit volume flow rate of air that enters. So, we have taken volume flow rate to be 1 meter cube per minute. So, let us locate state 1 in the psychrometric chart. State 1 30 degree Celsius and 85 percent relative humidity. So, that state comes here. These are the two incoming arrows. So, we have retrieved H1 star and VA1 has also been retrieved. What is that? This line corresponds to 0.88 for VA1 and this corresponds to 0.90 for VA1. So, we interpolate based on these two. Omega 1 has also been retrieved. Now, if you look at state 3, state 3 temperature and relative humidity are both known. So, 22 degree Celsius and 40 percent relative humidity that we should be able to locate because we have values for two quantities. So, state 3 relative humidity 40 percent, 22 degree Celsius. So, 22 degree Celsius for state 3 and relative humidity 40 percent which is this one. So, let us label that V3. So, that is this line here. So, the state is over here. So, this is H3 star. We have retrieved H3 star and we have retrieved omega 3. Now, if you look at state 2, notice that only one quantity is known at state 2. That is relative humidity. We need one more quantity. But between state 2 and state 3, there is no addition or removal of moisture which means omega 2 equal to omega 3. We have already looked up omega 3. So, that means omega 2 equal to omega 3. So, 100 percent relative humidity is going to be over on this along this curve and omega 2 equal to omega 3. So, we come here. So, these are the two incoming arrows for locating the state. So, this is H2 star and this is T2. Notice that T2, the temperature corresponding to I am sorry the drivable temperature of state 2 is actually I am sorry yeah state 2 is quite small. So, we retrieved these using these values. We retrieved omega 1, VA 1 and H1 star. Mass flow rate for unit volume flow rate of air may be calculated like this. So, we located state 3 on the psychrometric chart and retrieved omega 3 and H3 star. Then argued that omega 2 equal to omega 3 and we retrieved H2 star and T2. Notice that T2 is 7.5 degree Celsius. So, T2 is 7.5 degree Celsius. So, what is happening here is that omega 2 equal to omega 3 and this temperature comes out to be 7.5 degree Celsius. So, we cool the air to 7.5 degree Celsius, but the relative humidity is 100 percent. The air is also very cold. So, we heat the air so that the temperature comes to a comfortable 22 degree Celsius and the relative humidity is also at a comfortable value of 40 percent. So, that is what HVAC is all about. So, once we have these values, we can do mass balance of water in the cooling section and evaluate the mass of water that condenses to be 0.0166 kg per minute. So, this is basically mass of water vapour that comes in minus mass of water vapour that goes out. SFE applied to the cooling section gives us this from which we can get QC dot to be 0.322 tons per unit volume flow rate. Please bear that in mind. And the amount of heat that has to be added in the heating section may be evaluated quite easily that comes out to be 0.2715 kilowatts. So, if you want to scale up the volume flow rate of air, all these quantities can be easily scaled up. So, this is how the knowledge that you gained in the first course can be used for practical applications like this one here. Basically, you have not learned any new concept in this module on psychrometry because we have already dealt with the mixtures of ideal gas or mixture of ideal gases in the previous course itself. You are just using those concepts in a different manner or in a manner well suited for or tailored for this particular application. And these three examples also make clear how the psychrometric chart is extremely useful for doing these calculations for practical applications. Of course, we can do all this in the manner that we did earlier also, but the psychrometric chart simply makes it much easier to do the calculations. So, what we will do in the next lecture is look at a few more applications of psychrometry, not necessarily HVAC applications, but different applications where again psychrometry is very important.
