Okay, so the second talk is entitled automatic search of big-based division property, or ARX type first, and what-based division property. So there are also links when you want an image of one, and the link is going to give a talk. The title of our paper is automatic search of big-based division property for ARX type first, and what-based division property. And it is a joint work with Professor Wei Long and Mei Qin Wang. Firstly, I will introduce that long, the motivation and contributions. Division property was first proposed by the total at Europe in 2015. It was originally used to search integral distinguisher for block type structures, used to some newly identified distinguisher, Mei Qin Wang was broken for the first time. As a special case of division property, big-based division property was first proposed by total and modeling at FSE 2016. We also consider big-based division property using three subsets to improve distinguisher for sign of its block type 32. The first automatic search of big-based division property was proposed by Sion at all, at Asia 2016. They applied MAP method to realize the automatic search. After that, many works about automatic search, relying on MAP and CAP emerged in succession. Some recent related works can be found at capital 2017. Based on division property, total at all proposed cube attacks among black box polynomials. In order to find integral distinguisher for ARX type first, we construct MAPC model to describe the modular addition operation. The motivation of this paper was originally to search division properties for Shaco 2 under MAP model. However, the MAP optimizer Ruby didn't return a solution for a long time. On the other hand, we found that in the search of differential and linear characteristics for ARX server, SAT or SMT-based methods perform better than MLT-based methods. It is worth exploring whether methods based on SAT or SMT can be constructed and give better performance for ARX servers. Although the search of big-based division property takes advantage of more details, but it is invisible to propagate it for block-sets or with large-state and complicated operations. So we also consider constructing automatic tools to search what is division property. The contribution of this paper can be summarized in the following aspects. Firstly, we propose an automatic tool to search integral distinguisher for ARX servers based on big-based division property. Then, in order to identify optimal distinguisher essentially, we propose a search strategy. Then, we construct automatic tool based on SMT method for the search of work-based division property. With these new automatic tools, we obtain some new distinguisher for some servers. Now, we recall some necessary preliminaries. Firstly, there are some notations. For an undi-tovector, the S element is donated as AI. The honeyweight, the big position are labeled in big-uni. The honeyweight is calculated by summation i from i equals to 0 to n minus 1 of AI. For multi-dimensional vector, the vectorial honeyweight is defined as the composition of every component's honeyweight. For two-vector k and k-prime, we see that k greater than or equal to k-prime if every component's k i of k is not less than k-prime. The conception of division property based on the designation of big-product function for two-vector, for two-uni-tovector u and x, where the big-product function pi sub u can be defined with this equation, means that they product some particular bits of x which are indicated by the non-zero elements of u. For multi-dimensional vector, the big-product function can be defined similarly. The definition of division property is used to describe the property of a multi-side. Suppose that x is a multi-side that takes values from this space. For n-dimensional vector, u we want to evaluate the parity of the big-product function over the multi-side x. The division property actually divides the whole space of u into two parts. If u drops into one particular part, the parity will always be even, and if u drops into another part, the parity is unknown. This part is what we are interested in, and this property can be used to construct this equation. If this division property is a special case of division property, where every l, i, r is restricted to one, which means that we divide the underlying space into a series of binary fields. The propagation of division properties through different operations based different propagation rules, and these rules can be found in some previous work, and we do not really care. Like the definition of differential and linear characteristics, in differential and linear pre-analyzed, the concatenation of r plus 1 division properties of internal states constitute an r-round division trail. And the last vector on division trail is what we are interested in, because it indicates the division property of the output multi-side. With the propagation of division property rounds by round, they will eventually get a set result and an integral property. Proposition 1 can decide whether a set has integral property or not, and in the automatic search, it helps us to determine when to stop propagating. Suppose that x is a multi-side, x does not have integral property, if and only if its division property k contains all vectors with factorial honey with 1. Now we focus on the first contribution of this paper, the automatic search of fixed-phase division property for a and c ciphers. This is a simple illustration of our automatic tool. Just like other works about automatic search, we first need to construct SAT models for some basic operation so that we can transform the search problem for an objective algorithm into formulas in a conjective normal form. And then initial division property and stopping rule need to be added. After that, we invoke SAT solver to solve the SAT problem and give some of the time distinguisher. Now, we focus on the construction of SAT model. We want to construct a series of logic formulas, and these formulas are transformed from propagation rules. All the solutions of these formulas correspond to all possible division trails for the copy operation. The following logic formula are sufficient to describe all possible division trails. We also evaluate the propagation rule for and and x all operation and construct SAT models for them respectively. The construction of this logic formula takes exclusion measures. In order to construct a SAT model for the modular addition operation, x, y, z are only vectors. We first write the golden function of zi in an iterated way. Every zi equals to xi x all y i can be iterated way. And the golden function of zi also can be expressed in an iterated way. We observe that the modular addition operation can be divided into a series of copy operations. x all operation and the and operation. Since we already have a SAT model for this basic operation, we can construct a SAT model for the modular addition operation. In order to realize this work, we need to introduce some necessary intermediate variable. A model 4 is used to describe modular addition operation. In AIX, the staffers also need to consider the cases where the modular addition operation operates between a variable and a constant. The constant often refers to a sub-key. In order to handle this case, we need to slightly adjust the model 4 with a natural treatment. Now we have finished the work of transforming the search problem into formulas. And then we need to add the natural division property and the stopping rule. In order to search better this thing, we need to test many candidates of the initial division property. At the same time, the stopping rule requires us to test the unique vectors. This means that formulas corresponding to the initial division property and the stopping rule should be adjusted frequently. In order to set the initial division property and the stopping rule efficiently, they propose a dynamic search. Many SAT solvers accept assumptions as parameters. And the formulas in assumptions only operate in one code. So we put the initial division property and the stopping rule in assumptions. And when we want to invoke SAT solver under different conditions, we only need to change assumptions instead of the original formulas. Now we have finished the framework of automatic search. But we often interested in long distinguisher with lower data complexity. In order to find the optimal distinguisher, many candidates of the initial division property need to be tested. However, we cannot afford the computation of testing too many candidates. On the other hand, we find that many candidates can be eliminated. In order to simplify the search phase, we propose proposition 2 and we name it embedded property. It has an intuitive illustration. If there is no distinguisher when we traverse unbeat, then we cannot find the integral distinguisher when we traverse less beats. With this proposition, we propose two algorithms. The function of the first algorithm is to determine the maximum number of optimal distinguisher and to restrict the search scope of initial division property for the second algorithm. And the function of the second algorithm is to detect the concrete distinguisher. This is a simple illustration of the first part of algorithm 1. After this progress, we will determine the maximum number of wrongs for the optimal distinguisher. We first initialize r equals to 1 and generate formulas corresponding to r-round propagation. For all n vectors with honey weight n minus 1 as the initial division property and n unit vectors as the stocking rule, they invoke assay keys over under different assumptions. If there is at least one problem, it's not satisfiable, which means that they can find r-round distinguisher. So we update r as r plus 1 and repeat the above procedure. Otherwise, we find that there is no distinguisher under r-round propagation. So the maximum number of wrongs of integral distinguisher only achieves r minus 1 wrongs, and we donate it as rn. And we proceed to the second part of algorithm 1. We initialize r equals to rn for n different initial division properties and n vectors as output division property invoke assay keys over under different assumptions. If there is at least one problem, it's not satisfiable under the initial property in i. Which means that under initial division property in i, there is r-round distinguisher. And we will add the subscript i into a set s. And then obtain the set s and we name s as sufficient set and the complementary set s-bar as necessary set. Based on proposition 2, we know that all the elements in all the big predation corresponding to all elements in s-bar need to be traversed. Thus the big predation corresponding to elements in s-bar need to be set to 1. And this is why we call s-bar as necessary set. Now we have obtained distinguisher with data complexity 2 to the n minus 1 and the possibility of reducing data complexity left in the set of s. If s contains only one element, there is no margin to further reduce the data complexity. And we eventually obtain a distinguisher with data complexity 2 to the n minus 1. If s contains more than one element, we proceed to algorithm 2 to reduce the data complexity. They initialize r equals to rm and firstly set the initial division property in the big predation corresponding to elements in s-bar set to 1 firstly. And the remaining big predation and the remaining bits are set to 0 and under n different output factors, they evoke S8 keys over. If there is at least one problem, it's not satisfiable and they obtain distinguisher with data complexity 2 to the n minus the set of s. Otherwise, we will gradually increase the handling rate until we find the optimal distinguisher. We apply this to algorithm to analyze Shackle 2 in order to obtain the optimal distinguisher in total 410 different initial division properties are tested. Without algorithm 1 and algorithm 2, we need to test about 2 to the 8th in initial division properties. We apply this automatic tool to analyze many samples. For Shackle 2, we improve the distinguisher from 13 rounds to 17 rounds. And the distinguisher for LEA are improved by one round. We also evaluate the bits as a division property for HAC and TAC. Now we concentrate on the automatic search of word-based division properties. The main idea is similar to the DT-Z1 and the slag, the slag different slag means they use SMT method instead of SAT because the propagation of word-based division properties need to deal with vectors. And SMT formulas provide a richer modeling language so that the construction of SMT model is relatively straightforward. And they only need to translate the propagation rule directly into SMT models. These are models for word-based copy and Excel operation. These are for state and context nation operation. When we need to deal with SAFR with SAFR using MDS method as the diffusion layer, model 9 can be applied. When we want to deal with other SAFR using other kinds of linear layer, they can just divide them into basic operation and construct SMT model directly. The model for S-BOX, the construction of the model for S-BOX often also use exclusion method and we do not repeat. These formulas are used to describe 8-bit S-BOX. And in order to realize a dynamic search, we also put in nature division property and stopping raw in assumptions. We apply this method to various SAFRs. For Clifier, they improve the definition by one round. And for Riddell and Warpaw, they also improve the signatures. Now I will draw a brief conclusion. The main contribution of this paper is a paper proposed to automatic search tool. In order to search for big data division property for AI, SAFRs and work-based division property, these automatic tools are applied to improve some distinguisher for many primitives. And we think that the future work can focus on the construction of more dedicated model with more dedicated model, maybe better distinguisher can be obtained. That's all for my presentation. Thanks for your attention. So, question or comment? First of all, I have one in the conclusion page. What do you mean by the more dedicated model for the modular addition operation? So, in my understanding, your model for the modular addition operation are the two characters or the properties. We think since they introduce many intermediate variable and traces intermediate variable as independent variable, but actually they are not independent. So, we think maybe there are some impossible differentials introduced in this progress. So, we think we just guess maybe more dedicated model can be constructed and give better performance for the modular addition operation. Okay, I see. So, improving like the system. Okay, I see. So, do you have any other question? Are you planning to release the code that you use to generate the modular? I think they can release the code. I like question. Okay, so then let's send the speaker and the speaker in this session.

Thank you very much. Hello, David. Thank you very much. I'm glad to see you again. Al Breathless. Mr. President? Nice to see you. I've heard this letter. Indeed, tissue, organs, and so forth for transplants in your project that you carry out. I appreciate it very much. Mr. President, we have a couple of presentations and we certainly appreciate the time you've given us. In particular, this is Reagan coming down to the Jamboree last summer where there are 30,000 youngsters. Three meaningful to us, we appreciate it. But David here has a report that he'll present here. He's a hero on the Boy Scouts. And he stayed in his family during a fire. And so if you present to the President the report, you're David Thomason. The President will receive it from you. Thank you. Can you just give that to the President if you'd like to, Dan? Thank you. I know what you meant to say and I appreciate it very much. Dan has the donor awareness program for human organs for the President, which I know is a special concern to you. Yes. And these are your membership cards for you, Ms. Reagan. David Jones here has a little momentum of scouting. I would also like to give you. I have a great pleasure presenting for you. I think David wants to turn it this way so they can say it to you. You're saying that's very nice. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Incidentally, just a few words. Thank you. Let me get a few little souvenirs of you. Your presence here. Let's start with the ladies. The camera is with you. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Please do it and please see you again. God bless you and we have you very much in our prayers. Hope that the good Lord will give you all the wisdom and the strength of leadership that the country has had in the past six years. Thank you for seeing us. Thank you for those kind words and thank you also for the invocation. I appreciate it very much. Thank you, sir. Thank you, Ms. Reagan. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Very good, thank you. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir. I'm very grateful. Your willingness to do that. I know how much time it has taken and it's required you to abandon I'm quite sure that in today's meeting, before we start, I know we'll be talking about the development and implementation of our initiative with Iran, but before we get to that, I wanted to take a few minutes if I could to share my thoughts concerning how the NSC staff should operate. I know that every president- I know that every president- No worries, certainly a pleasure to meet you. This is my wife Joanne. I know too, before you step out, I know too, that you've made a very nice picture. This is Al Wilson. This is our drug program. This is my wife Judy. This is Judy. And I know too, get the message. Thank you very much, President. Mr. President, we want to do this once again. The Maxwell Football Club is a club in Philadelphia that's celebrating its 50th anniversary. And for that occasion, we have casted this medallion, which has Tiny Maxwell in one picture, and Bird Bell, one of the founders of the National Football League and the other. And as our number one citizen as the president of our great country and our great president, we want President Ronald Reagan to have position number one, and that's for you, sir. Well, thank you very much. Since it's a football club, but I had it maybe because I was a right guard. We all watched a lot of the movies of the football days of the past, and we're very pleased to be here with you. I think you are aware we have our FAD program, which is our drug program in Philadelphia, which we're doing a lot of good work in, and we feel so good about your interest in you and Mrs. Reagan, the interest that you've shown in say noted drugs, and that's exactly the direction we're moving in. Say noted drugs and work with young people. Well, I think it's great. I was going to mention that. You had brought it up. I know what your club is undertaking there and what you're doing. I think it's just great. Thank you, sir. It's very nice to be here with you. We're delighted. We have another little present for you, which you might want to wear the next time you play golf or tennis or something of that sort. It's a shirt that has the FAD logo, Fight Against Drugs, and the Maxwell Football Club. Well, thank you. We are now one of our members and we're delighted to have you as such. Well, thank you. I'm pleased to honor myself to be here. Thank you. Pleasure. That's because you were alive, Mr. President. I had a chance to prove it, though. Please get rid of that. Yes, sir. What was the question about that? I was the head football coach up into this year for 10 years at Delaware Valley College up in Doylestown, near Doylestown, Pennsylvania. He's now the athletic director. But more importantly, he's going to be the executive director of our FAD program. And with that in mind, well, I don't think I'm one of the top players. But I'm not a top player. I'm sorry. With that in mind, Mr. President, I wanted just to announce to you that Smith Klein and French Beckman in Philadelphia, the major drug company, as recently as of yesterday, made a major grant to the Maxwell Football Club FAD program for a $500,000 for Russell and Martin on a national FAD program, Fight Against Drugs. And using our chapter costs, even working with kids, 7, 8, 9. Oh, get them when they're young, while they're clean, working with clean people, and working up the ladder that way. I think that's great. I want to announce that to you. From Nancy's experience, you may find some of those Terry young ones. There's no question about that. That's exactly where we have to go. She came on one day at one in school, 8 years old, not only a user, a pusher, and wearing a beeper so that they could get hold of him when they wanted to make a buy. I mean, that's 8 years old. Terrible way. Well, I have a few souvenirs here. I have a few souvenirs from the office here. These are bookmarks. So we'll have to read something now. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. I'm really honored. We're delighted to be with you and to be here today. Thank you. We'll work real hard on our drug program and support what you advocate. We'll win this one. All right. Great pleasure. I feel good. Yeah. I always say that the first time I see you, every time you do it, right? Thank you. And then I continue to pray to you every day, sir. Thank you. I have to believe in it very much. Thank you. You left right. Must be working. And has Ms. Reagan? Oh, just fine. Great. She's been to California for a few days. She's been there. Nice. She's been here. I don't have any idea about it. I don't have any idea. Well, they say we enter in the order of senility, or even over in New York. Now, it's your first. At the office. You see my, you're strong. Right here, right at this time. Mr. William Kanega. How you doing? Nice to see you. Nice to see you. I'm Brian Rothman. Nice to see you. Nice to see you. Well, the National Year of Thanksgiving NYT project has been underway since 1985, when it was first suggested to them at the Congress that they should pass a joint resolution that would be declaring 1987 as the National Year of Thanksgiving. The purpose is to create an attitude of gratitude in America for blessings of life and liberty of the world's oldest living constitution. The NYT project received broad national support. The Boy Scouts of America passed a resolution of support and will be distributing Thanksgiving proclamations for local government officials to creative associations, schools, and places of business. The General Federation of Women's Corp. be incorporating the NYT theme into their various projects and programs for 1997. And the Bicentennial Commission voted unanimously to grant official recognition to the project. Saturday evening post, we'll be sponsoring a nationwide essay contest entitled We the People with Thanks. And in the fall of 87, there will be groundbreaking for the erection of We the People Thanksgiving Monument, which is modeled after the Christie painting in the Rotunda of the U.S. And that's enough talk. I think it's time to start writing. The story that you do, the sign of the wall is hard to do. And only one survivor can go to the house of the state. It's a drunkard coming around.


What governments are focusing on is on building the foundation, the basis, the infrastructure that is going to allow them to then come around the table and reach a comprehensive agreement. But that is probably going to be in that sequence. That is one of the big lessons learned from Copenhagen that you can't come with the expectation of a global agreement that is not really based on very, very clear national legislation on business activity, on investment flows, and that's what governments are doing right now. So they are putting in those foundations, and that then opens up the space for a global agreement. Business is one of the very key motors in advancing what I call the energy or the new industrial revolution because business is the one that has the access to the technologies, business has access to the capital. Business can judge the, assess the risk of investment, and that's exactly what we should be doing. So business is one of the very, very important motors and should not wait for complete policy clarity.


Thanks for checking out this movie review video. This is for the 2019 film Spiral and it's a shutter original and since it's a shutter original and when I'm putting this out It hasn't even hit shutter yet. This will be a no spoiler review So you can carry on without fear of spoilers happening now Maybe a little bit thematically and subtext wise, but that doesn't ruin anything about the actual film now This film is supposed to hit shutter on Thursday the 17th of September. So just know that Now this is directed by Curtis David Harder who did films Cody Fitz and in control Have not seen them Written by Colin Minahan who you may recognize some of his resume Grave encounters graven counters to Extraterrestrial it stains the sands red stillborn and Z Now I've only I saw the first grave encounters and I thought it was a solid film. I know people who love it I thought it was okay. I haven't seen the second one I haven't seen any of his other stuff except Z and Z I think was the last film that he had done and I did not like Z at all So when I saw that on there, I was a little bit worried that said this film was I'm kind of in the middle on this film to be honest and and there's good There's good. I see in it and there's not so good. I see in it and I'll talk about that But also having written this is John Pollack when who also wrote chilling visions five Chilling visions five states of fear. Sorry lock lock Lachlan Monroe, I don't know why that's a tongue twister is in this film I was very excited to see that Lachlan was in it. I like his stuff. I like everything. He's done that I've seen he's been in Riverdale. He did a great job in that He was in a night at the Roxbury. I love his character in the Roxbury so funny And he was in scary movie and he's awesome in the first scary movie So fan of him was great to see him now. Let me give you the quick synopsis of this film since I'm not doing spoilers on it it's basically about a gay couple where who the one guy had was married and has a daughter and He has custody of her. I guess that's kind of what it seems to me. They don't say anything specifically Oh, actually, I think they allude to it so he has custody of his daughter and his new partner comes in and is basically Assuming the role of the step parent so it's kind of a situation where they're going away to starting new life and they get into this new neighborhood and Weird things start to occur to Mainly one of the characters and then that's where it starts to really focus on that one character's perspective of things Who becomes the main character and the other two characters you're introduced to early on kind of become a little bit more peripheral But they're still quite involved. So That's kind of all I want to say about it because I don't really want to ruin much but yeah This film has some pretty inspired camera shots to be honest and camera movement So directed quite well. What was this guy's name again? Curtis David Harder nice work on the directing. It looks really good. I really enjoy the way this thing looks Good cinematography great directing Like I said some really interesting and cool shots and camera movements and I just love the way it looks Especially the very first shot has this really interesting movement to it that just looks really cool So really enjoyed the visuals of this film, which is nice The shot that leads right into the title screen is also cool. That's a different one than what I was just talking about It's it's kind of like shows a symbol in a way of the title Which I thought was a cool way to kind of lead into that title screen. So good job on that too very creative The family dynamic is pretty well established early on in scenes that actually feel natural Which is extremely important because there are so many times in Films especially lower budget films where they're trying to get through who the characters are or what the Dynamic between the characters are and they do it in ways that just feel so fake and so forced The good thing is it's very natural in this like you you learn the family dynamic You learn who these characters are you understand their motivations and kind of who they are as people in a way that feels normal It's like you're just kind of observing part of their life and for that reason. I think the dialogue is well written I don't think there was there would maybe been like one moment where I was just like Oh, that's really kind of like corny dialogue, but it wasn't terrible Otherwise, I mean I think the dialogue was well done It felt very natural and that's that's a pretty big achievement for for screenwriters because it's not that easy to Write dialogue and have it feel like real like someone's actually saying it And get through what you're trying to get through so there is some quite good writing to this Especially dialogue wise and like I was saying like it fleshes out the characters pretty well the main the main characters mainly Each of the initial characters are fleshed out well So you can feel invested in what could end up happening to them And that's another important thing about you know you getting to know the family dynamic You getting to know the characters is that it sets you up to care more You know if they set it up where you you're just kind of more observing and you don't feel like you know These characters at all you don't feel invested at all Then you feel very detached and when things start to happen you don't feel you don't feel anything You're just kind of like okay things are happening, but with the way that they set this up It's nice because like you don't want bad things to happen these people because they kind of you know They did a good job of endearing them to you It seems very straightforward for quite a bit in this film But then something odd occurs that creates a very solid air of mystery And that's one of the biggest things is as soon as that thing occurs That kind of starts the mystery of what's actually at play here. What's going on It does a relatively good job of keeping you wondering what is actually happening there's some you know red herrings that kind of get thrown in in there and Yeah, I mean I feel like until pretty much the very end it does keep you Guessing there were a few things I had in my mind when I was watching it of like I think maybe it's this but I also think maybe it's this and then by the time it got to the end It ended up being somewhat like one of the things I was thinking but not exact so they do an okay job of kind of throwing enough red herrings in there and Keeping you engaged enough in the story through the mystery aspects of it now that said doesn't really play much like a horror film Not so much really in certain aspects Yes, but they needed in my opinion to have a lot more of the actual horror in this so kind of like the movie Z Which is appropriate to refer to I Wanted more they gave you little bits and pieces, but I wanted more now There are a few kind of like scary moments that make be like a jump scare for some people in this film and They're okay. Oh Kind, you know done well enough. I guess but they also feel very out of place they really don't feel like they go in the film and You'll see what I mean when you watch it if and when you watch it They just feel out of place They don't feel like they go with the actual movie and part of the reason is they don't set the Track for those types of things to happen in the film and it's so infrequent. I think I can only only really think of like to Like that that even happened until the very end and there is something at the end that actually works really well That feels like it fits but the two things prior to that just don't and you're just like why I don't I don't understand So they needed more horror. They needed more of the scary stuff The horror of it is kind of more of like a personal horror for the main character societal slash neighborhood paranoia fear Type thing. It's just there's not a lot that happens, which is unfortunate It's a whole lot of trying to figure out what happens, but there's not a lot that happens While trying to figure out what happens if that makes sense The music is good in this there are a few moments where it feels a little bit heavy-handed But not too bad and for the most part music pretty well matched. So I like that There is a shift of sorts that ends up being used in the film And it's done a few times and I believe it's there to kind of plant a seed of a certain thing that's kind of happening to kind of Potentially happening to cast doubt in the mind of the audience when you feel like you might be on one track of thinking Something's happening then they do these kind of and you could miss them if you're not paying enough attention like these kind of I Was gonna say subtle but not quite subtle almost subtle They don't overstate it like these kind of switches in the film and and you'll see what I mean You'll know what I mean if you watch it. So I feel like that was good because it just ended up being enough for you to just like Get that feeling like something else is going on like maybe I don't have it figured out when I thought it was this this path Let's just forget that and instead kind of step back and take take more in and kind of see where this really is going So that is good. I like that Already talked about the scares.  I'm sorry Did quite a good job with the acting in this. He is the main character as Malik and he did quite a good job I was very impressed with this acting for people who may recognize him. He was in Grave encounters to and he was also in a few episodes of the newest American horror story season. So just so you know There's an important scene toward the end that actually doesn't seem to be done very realistically I was talking about how good the the writing is for the most part for making things feel real but there is a kind of pivotal scene towards the end that If you look at if you're really paying attention to it The way people are reacting and the way the situation is playing out does not at all feel realistic It doesn't it's it's it's it just feels off it feels weird And maybe it was intentional to feel that way, but it doesn't play well in my opinion There's an interesting point that's made about fear in this film and how it's basically used in society That I think is a very prudent point to be made and they made the point in a very interesting cool way And when it's brought up towards the end of the film It is kind of this cool moment that at least me as an audience member was just like oh That's an interesting point, and I think you're right on that. That's a very good prudent point It's kind of partially I'm not gonna tell you how they tie it in but it's basically The idea that fear is can be and is used in society to kind of Marginalize some people to kind of create this us versus them mentality and keep people living in fear to for various reasons It ends with a pretty good sequence But overall I am feeling pretty conflicted about this like I was saying because I just wanted a lot more to it It does feel like there's some stuff in there where they're kind of wasting time It is about an hour and a half and you know it feels about that Maybe feels a little bit longer than that because it does feel like there's a little bit of like time wasting You can only Have someone looking into something for so long Before the audience is feeling like okay I need to have like a little bit of payoff Even before we get to the very end of the film there is payoff in the end of the film and I like that about it In fact the the very very end of it. I think ends in a very interesting way, and they did a solid job with that so yeah This plays with the situation of being viewed as other in a new neighborhood But it uses that to make the point of what it's like to basically have the perspective of a person who is marked as other Within society not just within the neighborhood the neighborhood is kind of like a microcosm For what's actually going on point-wise with this and when I talk about other I'm talking about mainly in this situation You know being gay which you know That's the perfect time for me to basically say you know I'm a straight male white male So my perspective and what I get out of this film may end up being very very different than what someone who's gay gets out Of the film so if anyone is watching and you are gay, and you have any sort of feelings on this film I'd love for you to comment down there just to see if there's a different perspective to it because obviously I'm open to watching this film But it's not necessarily gonna mean the same thing because I haven't been through a lot of what's Kind of talked about subtext and overtly Within this film, so I it's it's not something that I'll you know really connect with on that level so and I'm aware of that So it's interesting because it pulls together the challenges of living out loud as gay and at the same time Having a step-parent situation now I I can't remember ever seeing any movie or show that kind of tackles the that aspect You know I've seen plenty of movies and shows where it's about you know living your life out loud and then shows where it's about You know dealing with the the issues of trying to be a step-parent in those challenges now bringing those two things together I've never seen that done before and I think it it added a very interesting New aspect to this type of film So that was very interesting to me that they kind of layered those two things in this and I like that about the story That's one of the most engaging things very early on with it so yeah And then the last thing I want to say is there's a difference shown between someone who grew up living out loud and someone who came To it later in life and there's definitely a difference in how they view society and the scars that are ending up being created now This kind of leads me to a story that's you know It's not my story, but I'm not gonna name names or anything But a friend of mine who is a gay gentleman had told me a story about how he had an uncle Who ended up coming out much later in life and the uncle had then gone to him and kind of apologized to say You know, I'm very sorry that I wasn't really there for you when you were going through you know being out and gay and all the the hatred that was put towards you and all the You know all the pressures of society and being judged and feeling, you know, like you don't fit in and all that stuff You know, I'm sorry. I couldn't have been there for you And I just you know He was basically saying that like he feels bad that he didn't have to go through that and then when he came out It was very accepted especially within the family because the my friend had already You know done that he had kind of paved the way and there's some aspects of that that are really played with in this film That I think work quite well It really is an interesting look at someone who's always been gay and has always lived out and someone who Came to it much later in life and there is a difference and a lot of it has to do with The past experience and your feelings towards society and the the scars that have been created by society So it's it's interesting from that standpoint. So As you can tell there are a lot of things I enjoyed about this film But there are also some a lot of things that I just I just wanted more. I wanted to be kind of different I wanted to be more horror. So That said it makes me really feel like I got to come down in the middle I mean I'm between two and a half and three stars on this But I think ultimately I just I have to go with the two and a half because I truly feel like right in the middle conflicted on this whether I Fully like it or when you know whether I like it or I don't really like it because like I was saying too like the two Horror more horror ish things in it. Just don't feel like they go, you know I like what the film has to say. I think the subtext is good and I think The themes are good, but it's not integrated that well into horror really just saying but That's just me that's just my personal opinion and like I always say with my reviews I would love to hear what other people have to say about this film. Did you love it? Did you hate it? Are you in between like I am put some comments down there? Let's talk about that But regardless, thanks for checking this out.

of Amchitka in the Aleutians, a new base for the bombing of the Jap-held island of Kiska, 40 airline monazons of Amchitka, but this American convoy got there first. They seized the initiative in the struggle for this important chain of islands that stretches 600 miles west of Alaska like a curved sword pointed at the Japanese mainland. These official army pictures made during the winter have just been released. General Jones commands the operation. The shoreline hums with activity as army engineers prepare runways for fighter and bombing planes. The Japs on Kiska Island are being heavily pounded almost every day. These Americans are ready for the fight to drive the Japanese out of the Aleutian Islands. Canada's most celebrated citizens take the train for an important visit to the United States. Four cargo freighters built in America for British use. The quintuplets are now nine years old. Annette, Cecile, Yvonne. The ships are 6,000 tonne coastal vessels and little Annette has been chosen by lot to sponsor the first one. The Chings are as much alike as the five Dion girls themselves, her old Mrs. Dion. Red roses and a special five-way salute and his soldiers of the British Eighth Army plan their part in the final battle of North Africa. New Zealanders, Highlanders, men of England. These battle-hard troops have chased the Germans across the breadth of Africa and squeezed them into an impossible position in Tunisia. Through town after Tunisian town, the Eighth Army triumphantly marches, pushing the retreating Axis troops northward as the British, French and Americans pound them from the west. For the smug security of fortified Axis Europe, this is the beginning of the end. The army drives northward through Gabes, nearing a junction with its American allies. General Eisenhower, Allied Commander-in-Chief, pays a visit to General Montgomery. Already a glorious tradition, the Eighth Army triumphantly occupies Gabes. Highland Pipers leading the way, by sea on the heels of the British successes. As each coastal city falls, it becomes a supply depot for the victorious British. Allied control of Mediterranean waters has made it possible to keep food and ammunition rolling right with the troops. The American Nazis are given no chance to dig in. Montgomery pushes on without pause, his armor mauling the German rear guards, her heads into the wounded Nazi's flank. Here the Americans got their baptism of battle, the hot flame that formed the German elite troops at Bazaar. Past hastily made German and Italian graves, the Americans moved to meet their British brothers-in-arms in the Battle of Africa in the Axis columns, frantically preparing a ring of defenses around the vital objectives of Tunis and Bezert. Bezert and Bezert have fallen, and with these two bastions of Axis resistance, prisoners counted in the tens of thousands fall to the victor. High officers, including Colonel General Van Arnhem, thousands of Italian and German troops lay down their arms and surrender. The Axis, some 400,000 men, in dead wounded and prisoners, is over. Mediterranean to the shores of Hitler's Fortress Europe.


Okay. Recording is on. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to BC 214, our course on developing the human spirit. We're going to continue our journey exploring, learning. So I'd just like to invite somebody to pray with a class and we will get started. Could somebody please unmute your mic, pray with us and we will start. Anyone, please? Justus. Go ahead, Mangee. Father, we thank you for this morning again, Lord. We thank you for giving us the opportunity to come and learn about our spiritual being, Lord, our primary being of us being spiritual and us being originally from you, Lord. We pray, Father, as Pastor Shish teaches us, Lord, empower the spirit and also let your spirit, Lord, prepare our heart, Lord, so that we may receive whatever you are giving us through Pastor Shish. We pray all this in your mighty name, Lord Jesus. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. Amen. All right. Thank you, Mangee, and welcome everyone once again. I'm sorry I just put up the PDF, just literally a few minutes before class. So you may or may not have got it yet, but that's okay. I will share the PDF and then you can download it after class. So today we're going to focus perhaps on material that may be familiar to some of us and the two things I just want to cover today. One is to emphasize to all of us that we are primarily spirit beings or spiritual beings. I'm going to emphasize that. And then I want to touch upon developing the born-again human spirit. You know, what are the things that we could do to develop the born-again human spirit? That means we are focusing on those who have been saved and regenerated. They have the life of God, so now how do we develop that born-again human spirit? Just hopefully we'll be able to cover both of these in today's lecture. Right?  And the human spirit has things that we would normally associate or we are normally understand it with a person. So the human spirit is the real person with personality, faculties and functions. So personality generally you will say, okay, these are the person's characteristics or traits or we would describe it in terms of interests. If you think about a person, in fact, each one of us here in the class, if we all get to know each other, a part of our understanding of each other would be, you know, hey, this person has these kinds of interests, this person has these kind of inclinations. And of course there are these faculties and functions that are expressed to the person, what the person is able to say and do and think and all those kinds of things. And so we understand it very clearly in the natural standpoint. That means when we interact with people, we recognize, you know, this person is like this, this person is like that, you know, this person has these, this kind of a personality, maybe quiet, maybe very outspoken, maybe very strong, maybe very faithful, maybe very sincere, maybe very genuine, you know, all these things which we use to describe an individual's personality. What I want to understand is that the same can be said about those spiritual person, that the spirit, the human spirit has all of this. And really, it is the expression of the human spirit coming through the soul and the body that we are seeing on the outside. So we need to start thinking in terms of this that the human spirit is the real person. And just as we develop the soul and the body, our focus is to learn how to develop the spiritual, the born against spiritual person. That's our focus. As believers, how do you develop the spiritual person? And we also want to explore, you know, what the realms of possibilities in the spirit and how can we grow into those things as we progress in the course. But just one passage, and you know, we could look at several different passages to emphasize that the spirit, the spiritual person is the real person. But I just listed one verse, one passage, Second Peter chapter one, verses 13 to 15. Can somebody read that out loud for us, please? Second Peter chapter one verse 13 to 15. Sir, shall I read it? Please go ahead. I think it's right as long as I am in this body to stir up by way of reminder. Since I know that the putting off my body will be soon as a Lord Jesus Christ made clear to me and I will make every effort so that after my departure you may be able at any time to recall these things. Thank you. Thank you. Notice how in this verse, and we will, you know, we of course find this in other places as well, where here it is Peter who is distinguishing between him and his body. Now he says in verse 13, as long as I am in this and the New King James uses the word tent, which is quite interesting. Of course, other versions would use the translated, you know, more you know, more contemporary as in body. But he says as long as I am in this tent, so the house, the body is just the house, is just the tent. But the real person is inside the house. So he says I am in this tent. So I'm going to remind you in a second video. I'm going to keep reminding you. And then in verse 14 he says I am going to put off my tent. So the real person is actually inside. And he's getting to, you know, exit. He's getting ready to leave the house. Peter is talking about himself and his imminent death. So just one example here to show us that the real person is inside the house. The body is just the dwelling place.  And we've looked at this worse before for spirit three was four. Now we understand the context. The context is Peter is writing and he's telling, you know, women specifically here is saying, okay, you know, don't focus on the outward adorning, but let it be the inner person. But in that process is revealing something to us about the inner person. And that's our focus for spirit three and worse form. Could somebody just read the scripture text? You can leave out these Greek words. Somebody could read the scripture text for us please. Rather let it be the hidden person of the heart with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. Amen. So that is what he says. The hidden person. So this is what anthropos is a genetic word which just means human. Now it could refer to a male or a female, right? So that the human spirit has no gender. You know, it's a person. So it's let it be the hidden person of the heart. So the heart is a person. The spirit, the human spirit is a person. And the heart is also referred to as spirit, you know, numa, the word that we have been, we mentioned earlier. So the heart, spirit, person, right? So the heart or the human, the heart or the human spirit is really, is the real person, but it's the hidden person, meaning it's not the outer person as in the visible human body. The human body you have already established is only the tent, is only the house, but the person on the inside that is the spirit, the spirit person is the real person. And God is looking at that person in the side of God, right? So the character of this person. So this person has attributes and in this case Peter is emphasizing the attributes of gentleness and quietness. So that means this hidden person has characteristics or traits, yeah, and those characteristics or those traits are what God is looking at. And in this case he's saying these these characteristics or traits of gentleness and quietness are precious and beautiful in the side of God and of course the context here is also to man, to people, to other people, because he's talking about, you know, the adorning, he says, okay, don't focus so much on the outward adorning, but in other words, you know, that is what people see, but he says, you know, let the quiet gentle and quiet spirit, let the incorruptible beauty see, so this character traits of the human spirit is incorruptible, unlike the outward adorning that we wear, that we may have, which will fade, you know, that will go away, be outward appearance, but the traits of your inner person, the real person, gentleness, quietness, and then we could add other characteristics, you know, you could add things like compassion, maybe generosity, maybe endurance, maybe patience, you know, all of these other character traits of the inner person. One, it's going to be visible to people and that is he says incorruptible beauty, meaning this will never fade away, you know, you can live, you know, whether they are 40 or 50 or 60, 70, 80, or however long these character traits of the inner person are not going to fade, you'd be able to have that with you, whereas, you know, the outer other features and the adorning, that those things will fade away, so it's visible to other people, that means the personality of my human spirit, and I will mention this a little later, the personality of my human spirit is then expressed through my soul and body, which people are able to see. That's one thing, but also it is precious on the side of God, that means God is also interested in those character traits of my human spirit or the real person, that's precious inside of God, that is these positive, these good character traits, Christ-like traits of gentleness, quietness, compassion, generosity, patience, endurance, all of that. We will see later on, you know, and which we are all familiar with, the fruit of the spirit, Galatians 5, developing those kinds of traits in the human spirit, of course with the help of the Holy Spirit, is in the side of God very precious, so there's a lot that we're picking up from here on the human spirit, and I'll just quickly repeat it and we'll re-trade it again, first of all we said that the heart or also refer to as spirit is the real person, it's the hidden person, it's the real person, then we said the hidden person has traits, character traits, and in this war, she's just mentioning two, which is gentleness and quietness, but we could definitely add to the list and Galatians 5, which we will look at later, gives us other traits or virtues, but this is part of the personality of the hidden person, the man, the person on the inside, then we said that these virtues, character traits of the hidden person, that is your heart or your spirit, is expressed through your soul and body so that people are able to see it, right, they are able to see it, that means your inner personality is being visible, expressed through the soul and the body, for the people to see, then fourthly, we also see that this, these virtues, these character traits of the human part is incorruptible, you know, it's what Peter refers to as incorruptible beauty, it's, it'll be that it's enduring through time and fifthly, lastly, we said this is also very precious in the sight of God, I mean this is what God is looking for, the personality, the virtues, the character traits of the human person or the human heart or the spirit, right, so you and I must begin to think, so we are learning to think in terms of the human spirit or the hidden person being the real person and I think I've said this before, we need to think as what is the condition of my heart or my human spirit and how do we, you know, develop that, which is what we will learn, so now extending what we have seen here for spirit three, we can say that hidden person, that is the heart or the spirit, has its own traits and characteristics which determine the individual's personality because we said that, you know, people are going to see that from outside and that's what describes your personality, so they will see example, gentleness, quietness or other things, you know, like generosity or passion or inclination, okay, this person is very compassionate towards poor people or this person is very compassionate towards, you know, maybe some other situation, you know, or this person is very passionate about providing education, whatever, you know, those are the things that are coming out actually from your spirit and people begin to see that and one example that I'm just, I put here was an incident actually in Luke chapter 9, when, and I haven't quoted all the verses in that passage but you could read from verse 15 and 56, you will see that as Jesus was passing through the village, Jesus and his disciples were passing through Samaria at one time, they didn't receive Jesus, not interested and so James and John, they turn around to Jesus and they say, Lord shall we call fire down to destroy this village as Elijah did, so they're even quoting Old Testament say, you know, Elijah called fire down to destroy the people, you know, so there are several occasions that you'll find, so shall we call fire down and Jesus rebuked them and it's very interesting what he told them at that point, he said, you do not know what manner of spirit you are of, or what sort of spirit, you know, what is, what is, what is really coming out of your heart, you know, in other words, to put it in simple words, we want to paraphrase it, he's saying, you guys will don't know yourself and you guys don't know what's really moving you at this point, on the outside it seemed very spiritual what they were asking and they were even quoting scripture, you know, like Elijah, we'll call fire down, but really the motivation was wrong, so how do we know it was wrong, because if you read the verses prior to this, they've just gone through expressing how first they felt, you know, that they were like the chosen people, the elite exclusive ones, because in the verses prior to this one incident they, you know, they saw somebody else using the name of Jesus and they said, Lord we have to stop them because he's not part of our group, so immediately you could see that by this time the disciples had some sort of a feeling that, hey, we are the chosen 12, you know, we're the elite ones, the exclusive ones, you can count that comes through and then right after that there's another incident where they're asking God, you know, who's the greatest amongst us, yeah, so already the motivations is off and so now coming here into this village, it's maybe bitterness, it may be revenge, it may be the fact that they are self-righteous or they are, you know, they have certain status as disciples of Jesus or they're just angry and short-tempered, that it's something that's, you know, a wrong motivation even though the thing that they were asking to do had biblical precedence, you know, Elijah did it, let's do it, you know, Elijah was a prophet, hey, we are apostles, let's do it, it seemed very spiritual but the motivation was wrong and so Jesus rebuked them and he didn't encourage them, he rebuked them or you could say he's called them or he collected them, hey, you don't even know what's motivating you, you know, you don't know what's coming out of your inner person, so that the things that motivate us come out of our spirit and they describe our personality, they describe our, of course, they determine our actions, our words and our actions and that's what we see here in the next verse, Matthew 15, again this passage and not reading the whole passage but in verse 19, Jesus is saying out of the heart, right, so we can replace the word spirit or heart, you know, as we saw in 1st Spirit 3, 4, the interchangeable, so out of the spirit, out of the spirit person, out of your inner person, come thoughts and your actions, so where do these thoughts and actions come from, come from your heart, what people see are the expressions of our thoughts that is words and actions and they, there's some total of words and actions, they use that to define our personality, right, so when you get to know a person, you listen to the way they speak and what they say, what's important to them, you listen to them, sorry, you see them, you know, what they're involved in, engage in them, your frame, get some sort of understanding of who they are as a person but where do those thoughts and actions come from, Jesus said, out of the spirit, out of that hidden person, these thoughts and actions are coming, so if we develop the hidden person right and we know to the right word choose, the right character traits in the heart, in the spiritual person, then what will happen is the thoughts, words and actions that come will be, you know, precious, will be virtuous in the sight of God, so while we know we have to discipline the body, we need to train the mind, fine, but the real person you have to deal with is the heart, the spiritual person and we shape and mold and develop the spiritual person right, then thoughts, words and deeds will be right, talk about right in the sight of God, so keep these things in mind because they form the basis of what we're going to do in the coming weeks, now let me just mention the faculties and the functions of the human spirit which we are going to discuss in detail, the five faculties of the human spirit, now you would have seen some of this in the Course on the Holy Spirit when we, in the book, Gifts of the Spirit because we talk a little bit about this, what we, and I'll just mention it here but we're going to get into the details of it in the coming, not the next chapter but the chapter later, so what we can understand from scripture is that the human spirit has faculties just like the human body, so when we look at the human body we say okay for any human person they've got to have these five faculties, they've got to be able to see, hear, feel, smell and taste and if any one of these faculties or we call them senses, if any one of these five senses are not working properly then it's not good, right, that particular sense or faculty has been impaired and you know they try to heal and help them recover but in general we say every human person has five senses and we can map these five senses to the human spirit in scripture, in scripture we see that the human spirit or the inner person has at least the ability, these five faculties. Now we need to develop these five faculties because these five faculties enable us to interact with the spiritual realm and the more sharp these five faculties are, I'm talking about in the spirit, the human spirit, the more we can engage with the spiritual realm, the faculties of our spirit, our human spirit and so as believers we need to develop these faculties which we will discuss. Similarly we can see in scripture the seven functions of the born-again human spirit. Now I specifically stayed born again because our focus is going to be on developing the functions of the human spirit in the context of being a believer and in our relationship with God, right, so these same functions can also be used in a wrong way meaning, and we will mention this a little later but in the wrong way sense in the sense that those who are you know who are engaging with the dark side, the demonic spirits practicing witchcraft and all that you know in some way they're going to use their spirit faculties and functions to do wrong things, yeah they're engaging with the dark side but our focus is on the born-again spirit. So what are the seven functions of the human spirit specifically the born-again human spirit, conscience, and we see all of this in scripture and we will develop this as in in coming chapters, conscience, and this is so important because the conscience at a very basic level tells you and me what's right what's wrong or is acceptable to God but is not acceptable to God. The sad thing is even believers can act against their conscience, so we're not talking about even the bible or the holy spirit, we're just talking about the conscience, of course you know the conscience is something God-given and it is built in if you want to use the word moral indicator what is right and wrong in every person but in the especially for the born-again believer we have to live in good conscience, good conscience, but even if the born-again believer, even if he doesn't know chapter and verse, maybe doesn't know how to listen to the holy spirit, if he will just live in good conscience he's going to be living right before God but even a born-again believer can violate his own his or her own conscience but what we will see later on is even if a born-again believer lives like that why just violating their own conscience they will destroy their own faith just that just just violating our own conscience we will destroy our faith in God and we will see it in scripture but sad to say you know when we look around we see that some of the actions even Christians do that you you wonder how could in good conscience could that person even do that example you hear about you know people I'm talking about believers maybe they rob money from the church or maybe they misuse money from you know the church or they just do things that are wrong and you wonder didn't they even have a conscience I mean forget about chapter and verse and forget about the leading of the holy spirit just basic thing what about their own conscience what happened to it well even though they were believers they were violating their own conscience and the result we could see they may have destroyed their faith have come close to that okay we'll talk about it in detail so conscience second thing second function of the human spirit is the ability to know to receive knowledge just like the human mind in the natural acquires knowledge and grows in knowledge the natural the human spirit receives knowledge spiritual revelation knowledge knowing knowing things of the spiritual realm and we will learn that the inspiration of the Almighty gives the human spirit understanding so there are times when you have knowledge which is not what you have received through information meaning information channels you have not receded through the five senses but it is coming from the inspiration of God but that's part of our spirit function knowing of course there is other ways by which we our spirit knows it is through the word of God but we must understand the inspiration process by which your human spirit receives knowledge outside of what is coming through the five natural senses that is through your reading of scripture and so on and please understand everything must be tested by scripture all right so even what is received through inspiration is subject to the written scriptures because the written scriptures is our standard right we will get into the details of all of each of these seven functions I'm just introducing it or mentioning it here number three third function which the human spirit is the born again human spirit is capable of worship and fellowship with God and this is very amazing you know it's very amazing how the human spirit can fellowship with God God is spirit you are spirit and the reason he created a spiritual body is our spirit can fellowship with him it's like you know if you want to put it in simple terms it's like be friends or have a relationship with him now a simple example and this might be a little crude but let's just think about it you know and to really have fellowship with a certain class of being you need to be in that example you know again this may be a crude example but you know I have to be a dog if I really want to understand the dog world as a human to some extent I can understand you know dogs and you know relate and talk and you know so on but I don't necessarily understand you know will not be able to understand everything about the dog world you have to be in that same class of being and it's not possible right we are humans the animals and they're a particular kind of animal so like that you have different kinds of animals and you know to really understand that kind of an animal you you know have to be in that class or that category now think about this for us to really understand God we have to be in that category we have to be spiritual beings and God created us as spiritual beings so that we could have that that ability to really fellowship with him so God is spirit and he created us as spiritual beings so that we can have the capacity to connect with him but we connect through our spirit faculties not our natural faculties our natural faculties help us meaning with their eyes we can see the great see God's creation we can you know feel the wind and the breeze and we can praise God for it or we can see the stars or we can study science or we can you know those natural things they help us of course but when it comes to spirit to spirit fellowship we use the five faculties of our spirit to fellowship with God because we are engaging in the actually use the word same realm or same category his spirit we have to fellowship with him in spirit and truth okay i hope i communicated that well we'll get into it here this human's functional human spirit is also a container it's a carrier of the grace the power the glory of God and and we see that described to us in scripture the those scriptures use the word vessels and and you know we are place where there's the resident there's the dwelling place of God we contain the glory and the power of God and out of that we give the human spirit also has identity you know we've talked a lot about that in our first year it's it's it's who you are and knowing who you are the spirit is also capable of action of doing things of you know just like the human body can do things the human spirit takes action in the realm of the spirit so imagine in the realm of the spirit you're getting things done when you when you and i know how the spirit can do things in the realm of the spirit that it's believing serving interceding fighting you know in the realm of the spirit you're getting things done just like in the natural and then another function is to keep growing into grace like this so we'll develop it we'll talk about these seven functions of the human spirit let me just go into just one more thought then i'll keep time for discussion so the born again human spirit needs to be nurtured let's just quickly can somebody read Hebrews 5 12 to 14 please and we will look at it we will be coming back to it later but Hebrews 5 12 to 14 somebody read that please Hebrews chapter 5 verse 12 to 14 says for thou for though by this time you ought to be teachers you need someone to teach you again the first principles of the oracles of God and you have come to need milk and not solid food for everyone who partakes only of milk is unskilled in the word of righteousness for he is a being but solid food belongs to those who are of full age that is those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil amen amen thank you so look at two contrasting terms he uses verse 13 and 14 he talks about spiritually being babies and verse 14 he talks about being of full age or mature or grown-up adults so now he's writing to believers yeah Hebrews he's writing to those who are saved but he's saying look you are like babies when you should have been grown up and therefore their diet is affected you only need milk and i can't give you uh you know solid food or food that grown-ups eat of course the context here is spiritual he's talking about spiritually in your human spirit in your born again human spirit he's telling these people you're like babies you haven't grown up to be adults grown-up people and therefore you have to eat spiritual baby food instead of being eating spiritual adult food grown-up food and then he also tells us the difference he says see here's one very important characteristic of a grown-up person a grown-up person is able to discern good and evil whereas a baby doesn't know that a baby needs to be told this is right this is wrong you know or don't put your hand in the fire you know don't do this don't do that don't put your hand in the socket be careful don't go here don't go there an adult discerns has the ability to know good and evil and there's a process by which that can happen he outlines that for us which we will look into a little later okay so what did we cover today we said that you know the human spirit that's the real you and the human spirit has personality meaning the traits that you develop in the spirit and what you develop in the spirit is going to come out as thoughts words and actions which people are going to see and then be outlined we didn't get into the details but we just outlined the five faculties of the human spirit the seven functions of the human spirit which we are going to get into detail later on and what we are saying is there is spiritual growth that has to happen we have to go from being babies to being people of full age but this means this involves the development of the faculties and the functions five faculties seven functions we develop them develop them nurture them then we move from being babies to being adults and what we have outlined what the right of Hebrew says is the adults one important characteristic is they can discern good and evil okay i actually wanted to do the next one okay we have only six minutes so i will it takes some questions and we guess we'll have to do this next week okay all right yes um let's try to do the question answers quickly um i see bet has a comment i think i would have thought the personality my human spirit can be corrupted by evil tragic circumstances isn't that what mental problems are corruption or sickness of the human spirit if our spirit can grow in a positive way put on the gears it can grow in a negative way yes so the answer uh if if i have understood what bet is saying correctly um i think what bet is saying yes that the human spirit can be corrupted or be affected which is true because we will see later and i've kept a separate chapter on the effect of the human spirit on the soul and the body for instance we see in the book of probes we read about things like a broken spirit a wounded spirit that means uh and this is something we have to guard ourselves and i will share it in that chapter we have to protect our human spirit because sometimes that the experiences of life can wound our spirit i just a simple example is bitterness right if somebody deals very badly with me yes it affects me emotionally but it will be really bad if i let it affect my human spirit that means my very core gets affected and i'm tainted with bitterness then i would be bitter with people bitter with this bitter with that and it'll come out you know people think of me as a bitter person so i think if i understand what bet is saying if i understand it correctly i think my answer to that would be yes you know that the human spirit can be affected in a negative way okay i hope i understood your comment correctly but forgive me if i didn't um divya in look 951 of 56 was jesus excised in the gift of dissonance spirit is it right to say that was he discerning the gift of the uh uh was he the gift of spirit in answer to that now divya is yes because he was seeing into their spirit so he wasn't just being moved by what they said but he was looking at what was really in their heart so the answer to that question from divya is yes next one again from divya what are the spirit gifts of the spirit in what are the gifts of spirit impacting are they empowering the faculties are the functions of the born again human spirit so the gifts of the spirit are coming through the faculties of the born again human spirit and they're actually releasing a work of god they're a manifestation of god so um to answer your question they come through the faculties and they are an expression of the presence of the holy spirit usually it's to get a job done right so that's what the gifts of the spirit are whether to you know in this case discern or to heal to work a miracle to express god in some way okay okay pastor i just had a question so uh they they don't have a role in developing the human spirit right the gifts um usually i would say like you know the gifts the spirit are given primarily to help minister to people but in the process of course we all we're going to keep learning you know that means my knowing is going to keep increasing every time you know you express a gift for spirit you're learning something about the holy spirit you're learning something about god even if that gift is to you know help somebody else uh your human spirit is also learning so yes it will even though the primary function is to minister to somebody to manifest the presence of the holy spirit we will end up learning in the process and um when you're praying in tongues it's a big learning as well okay all right we have about two minutes let's take man's question please thank you sir um my question is similar to to uh birth comment uh early on when when when when you you're speaking about okay that's a question so can we say if i understood correctly that's the fruit of the holy spirit is is it they are they are original originally uh our original design that gods has given us and when we we are born again we are when we are sanctified they get revealed or they we when when holy spirit is working in us then our true nature our true person our spirit being start manifesting freely and then we we exhibit the the traits of being kind being uh being good the answer is yes right so imagine okay so this is the real person my human spirit the holy spirit comes and works on me and he's developing you know the the fruit of the spirit love joy peace so my human spirit was designed for that of course you know until i got saved things could have been going wrong but then i'm born again and so now the human spirit has been given the life in the nature of god it has the you know the ability enough to grow into the image of god to grow into the nature of god then the holy spirit also comes and dwells here and then he's developing you know love joy peace all those things and through my human spirit that is being expressed right so when it says it is a fruit of the spirit it is not just that the holy spirit is independent of me or you know the holy spirit is nurturing these in your spirit and that is being expressed right remember he said i'm the one you are the branches the branches bear fruit so you can imagine the human spirit like the branch the holy spirit is working in us and then the branch bears fruit so the answer your question is yes these are virtues or character traits that are developed in your human spirit which are then expressed through the outer person the soul and the body thank you sir okay all right last one is christopher's so christopher's wants the explanation matthew 15 17 to 18 do you not yet understand what enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated so i was 17 just talking about the food we eat right so the food we eat that just goes through the natural process it's eliminated so it really doesn't defile the man it doesn't affect your spirit you know the food but he says was 18 but if you look for the words a person speaks that comes out of the heart of the person and those words also affect the person is what jesus saying matthew 15 18 okay the words we speak they come out of the heart and they also impact the heart right okay um i think we'll have to pause here um we will continue this next week uh talking more about this but think about these things okay let's close quickly and press so we could take our break and get into our next class could somebody please pray and dismiss us all right if there's going to be silence we're going to be here for a long time could somebody jump in and pray i'll pray first go ahead thank you father god almighty thank you for your mercies your grace your love father thank you lot father for the amazing things that we are learning father and as we are learning it father we may use them apply them in our lives so that we can develop our human spirit and be prepared for the coming of your day father be enriched by your

precious and most matchless name of Jesus our Savior and Lord amen and amen amen thank you everyone thank you well take a break and i'll see you shortly in the next class God bless


I'm sure a lot of times out there, you guys might, your morale might get low and you might not realize how much you mean to us. But I know I can speak for myself and my members of the band and everybody here in Jacksonville and probably everybody in country music and across this country. Thank you so much for what you do for us. Freedom is a warm blanket and it is provided by a special group of men and women who have the guts to stand on a post and say have a good time tonight cable on stage because nothing's going to hurt you while I'm on my watch and we know that so thank you so much.


Chrome, I would hope everyone knows, is Google's browser. This wraps in a bunch of Google services and user experience features. But Chrome is built on top of Chromium, which is an open source project. And that core open source project also gets used by a number of other browsers, Edge, Samsung, internet browser, many others. Blink is the web platform engine inside that. And Blink is built around the implementation of a number of features. Open standards-based web platform core features that we've all known to come and love. The last bit is one that Joav and I already mentioned, which is the web platform incubation community group. We usually call this the YCG. We co-chair this along with Marcos Caceras from Mozilla and Travis Leithard from Microsoft. And this is the place where we start the journey of a lot of these collaborative efforts. Chromium is a huge open source project that's seen 90,000 commits a year from over 2,000 different contributors working for 55 different companies, potentially with multiple organizations inside of each company. And each one of those parties have slightly different interests. It's also important to recognize that a lot of those contributions are coming from Google employees. But non-Google contributors are almost 20% of that pie chart. In order to make sure that all those contributions from different parties all make sense, we need an open process. If you've interacted at all with the Chromium open source project, you've probably seen people talking about intents, intents to implement, intents to ship. These intents are part of the blink process, which we're a set of trusted Chromium engineers called the API owners, such as Joav, make sure that the trade-off is being taken into account by the engineers working on different features. Mozilla has a very similar process. This actually part of our process grew from the WebKit process as well. But as part of these processes, engineers need to show that there's industry agreement or backing, that the feature they're trying to ship is an important one, and also that the feature's design was properly reviewed. That blink process is not a replacement for the standards process, but a separate one. To recap, the typical journey of an API goes from researching the problem space, publishing an explainer with use cases, designing a solution in the open with interested parties, experimenting with that solution and eventually shipping it or not. So what we would like you to take away from this talk is first, there is a difference between Chromium process and standards process. They work together, but they're not replacements for each other. Our intent process is intended to make it possible for us to move the web platform forward, even if we have to go out on a limb sometimes, but also work together with the standards process. So, and at Microsoft, we completely agree on the move from EdgeHTML over to Chromium. We did a full inventory of some of the goodness we thought was in EdgeHTML and wanted to bring over to Chromium. We reached out to our good friends over at Google and they completely agreed because one of the things we wanted to look into that we'll be covering is form controls. And starting up, we were with accessibility, touch, and ultimately a fresh coat of paint because when we're looking at them, they were pretty dated, as you'll see. I will also be covering solubility, extending functionality, and then ultimately as Nicole was saying, new components. So, and then we have this lovely Windows 95 draggable elements here in the range, which is definitely in the need of an upgrade. So we gave it a more modern splash coat of paints to flatten it up a little bit. So hopefully it looks a lot better to you as well. And for Chrome, we decided to experiment with a little bit of a different visual detail. We are showing the selected portion of the range and color. We'd love to know what you think. This is something we're still playing with and trying to figure out what works well. So in checkbox and radio, they're small, but they're also really, really impactful. Form controls, they're on almost all of our forms. And while, again, there's subtle changes, those gradients are very, very indicative of the air that they came out and we've now flattened, modernized them and hopefully they fit better in all of your form controls on your websites that you're making. I believe that you lit the path for us here. Thank you. On Chrome again, we decided to experiment with color for the selected state. So that said, though, we share about 99% of the code for these elements. And so that's gonna make the next steps that we're talking about a lot easier. Another important aspect as we started off with was accessibility. And one of these things is it really doesn't matter about the input modality you're using. You should be able to use the control in a good way. And touch is one of those things. As you all know, I've been using the Max over at the booth and I keep touching the touch screen that isn't there. We have the two-in-one Windows devices and so touch is very important to us. And so we increase the hit test regions on, here's date. But the control I think that shows this the most is the time element, which as you can see, here's the current Chromium one with those wonderful little tiny spinners that good luck trying to touch those with your fingers. We now have the similar pop-up that we have in date and you've got the normal touch scroll carousel type feel to have a good user experience. So we wanted to understand why form elements are recreated as sort of a starting point for understanding what we could do differently. The top 10 form controls that are recreated by web developers are here on the screen. The top one is select. Shocker. Yeah, I think we all saw that one coming. Checkbox, date, radio and file and then a few others that are used as well. For the most part, we can probably agree that most web developers do not build entirely custom infrastructure and tooling. Where possible, developers would usually prefer to rely on open source tools. So one way to improve actual websites that developers ship are to improve the actual tools that are being used to build those sites. Better open source tooling can directly result in a better web. MVN will soon release the first edition of their developer and designer survey to try and learn more about the needs and frustrations of web developers. With over 28,000 responses, one interesting result from the survey was that 72% of respondents actively use React, Angular or Vue for their sites. So how should we invest in the framework ecosystem to address both DX and UX challenges? We think there's a big opportunity here for tooling to help with both of these problems, in particular by bringing good defaults and by being opinionated. So I wanna take a moment here to define this notion of what we decided to call a web framework. It's an end-to-end system that controls every aspect from getting started, everyday development through deployment. It's directly positioned to impact both UX and DX by controlling the server and the client, the build and the serve, the dev and the broad environments. And this is a core premise of our work in this space. Through these web frameworks, we want to enable developers to successfully build and maintain high-quality production apps.


So hey guys it's David here again and in this video I'm going to give you an explanation, a very simple one as to why you procrastinate in your life. Okay so as you probably know from the thumbnail of this video my area is psychotherapy and I'm going to give you a psychotherapist's view of procrastination. There are a lot of different ways to that people in psychology have described procrastination and why it takes place you know habit formation all that sort of stuff self-talk etc etc right even as simple as CBT stuff where it goes into like time management skills poor time management skills all that sort of stuff but the thing I like about the psychotherapist's view of procrastination at least me I'll speak for myself here is that it offers a very very simple explanation for procrastination okay and it is really that it comes down to low self-esteem okay that is why we procrastinate in life low self-esteem or you could even say a lack of self-respect that stems from low self-esteem okay now what do I mean by that well with procrastination you know procrastination as it relates to maybe work okay or some project that you think is you consider it to be important but maybe not entirely desirable you know you're not exactly looking forward to it but it's something that you think you've decided should be done should be completed right it's important for you so what happens with the self-image that doesn't like itself the you know the part of the self that is loathing self-loathing it uses this as an opportunity for punishment self-punishment right so it takes what it's actually doing is it's taking that project we'll say and it's making the project far bigger than it really is and it's using it as a way to punish the self okay there are there's a way to figure out if this is true or not or there's an indication that tells me that this is true when you procrastinate okay be honest here for a second when you procrastinate about something in your life what is the recurring emotion that comes up so think about it maybe you're you're at home and you're sitting on the couch and you know you know what now is the time to take action on this project this project how do you feel emotionally what is the emotion that comes up for you most people that I've asked this question of they all tell me the same thing and the emotion is guilt okay guilt now that is very revealing why is that revealing well who in society do we consider to be guilty okay think about that for a sec generally we think they are criminals okay people who are less than okay somehow defective people maybe right they are guilty and what do we as a society tend to think that should happen to the guilty the guilty should be punished right the guilty should be punished so if you think if you're continually procrastinating and you're feeling the emotion of guilt that says that there's a part of you that feels guilty right a guilty a guilty person should be punished now if you really want to punish that person you can use anything in your life to help make that happen and it can be as simple as a project that isn't really a big deal but can be turned into this big deal to punish the person now we tend to think that we know no we feel guilty because we're not doing the project okay the truth is that guilt was there before the project ever entered the situation okay the project came along and that's just an excuse that we use to help punish ourselves because there's a sense of guilt there because of a poor self-image an incorrect self-image I might add okay it's not a real one it's uh it's something that's from the past that we can let go of okay so bear in mind the reason I'm kind of talking about this is as soon as you figure out well why do I keep procrastinating even though I know what's hurting my own life why do I keep doing it over and over again well if you figure that out you won't do it anymore okay because people say I do it and I can't figure why I keep doing this and as Freud said the role of psychotherapy is to make the unconscious conscious or figure it out bring awareness to it and it'll it'll go away so once you figure out well I keep doing this behavior and I keep feeling guilty about it and we think the behavior leads to the guilt what if it's a cycle that you're you're not right about and it's the guilt that is leading to the behavior the procrastination okay so as soon as you realize that you begin to say you know what enough of this enough of this and the beautiful thing is then you stop procrastinating because you stop see you start to see the project which is just a small part of your life not a big deal just something that can be done quite easily okay you start to see it for what it is and it becomes far more doable you just basically say I'm not going to do it to myself anymore okay because I see how I've been using this project in this procrastinating pattern to hurt myself because I feel I need to be punished okay so that is kind of a general outline of the psychotherapeutic view of procrastination okay not everyone agrees with it personally I think I tend to think it's spot on um so watch out for the guilt watch out for the guilt that's coming up for you as you don't meet the standards you set for yourself in terms of a project and completion of it okay and watch how big of a deal you tend to make out of a project why maybe we want it to be a big deal right maybe we want it to be a big deal so we can have something to berate ourselves with when it isn't completed so as with most things just bring self-awareness bring awareness to the emotion the emotional reaction that comes when you procrastinate and be with the guilt okay and just start to say okay I see a pattern here I keep doing this and I feel guilty okay that's step one but that is the biggest step once you do that you'll begin to realize you know you'll start to see through this so um there are a few thoughts on procrastination and the psychotherapeutic approach and uh food for thought I think and uh hope you enjoyed it guys and I will talk to you soon take care
