So thank you for the opportunity of having me as a discussant here. I see a lot of very illustrious faces in the audience, and I'm sure we'd all love to hear their thoughts as well. So I'll keep this short. So thank you to the speakers for giving a really nice overview of where we stand in terms of microeconomics for development. As Carol also started the session that we've been talking about, the bigger picture, there have been some thoughts on how with the bigger picture we are, or rather with the focus on smaller analyses, we are maybe losing sight of the bigger picture. And I think that this session sort of really got all those thoughts together. So I'm just going to keep it a bit more general. So I think this is also going back to the idea of synthesis that was that Stefan Dekon talked about two days ago. And I think this has also been raised very nicely by Alan in his opening presentation today. And I think as somebody who's starting out a career in academic and policy research, I think that with sort of focusing on the bigger picture, we also need to understand what are the mechanisms that make these bigger policies work. So I think that that's where the body of these smaller interventions, whether it's using experimental methods or observational data, we need to get sort of all the analysis together in order to be able to synthesize it to understand what works, what doesn't, where there are positive results, negative results, before we can really come up with smart policy suggestions. In terms of sort of more specific comments, just from the reading of my reading of the literature, I'm not completely convinced that the fact that training has not worked for sort of enterprise performance is a very decided result yet, given the sort of shortcomings of the existing literature that David and Chris highlight in their 2013 paper. There have been a lot of statistical problems with the papers that have done it largely on account of power, in terms of sample size, the sort of time spans that these studies are considering attrition issues, reporting bias and things like that. So I think until we can get a number of really good studies that are mitigating these concerns, we probably shouldn't sort of get to the thing to say that these training programs do not work. Moreover, they also have a recent NBER working paper, which is using a bunch of their own data from previous studies, which actually shows that these management practices that small firms adopt are positively correlated with firm performance. So I think that there's a sort of disconnect between what the observational data shows and what the experimental literature has shown. And I think that we need to sort of reconcile that. Also, there have been these spate of papers on training programs, whether that's at the more personal level. So we now have a bunch of papers that are looking at these skill building programs, cognitive skills, non-cognitive skills. But I think we still don't understand what components of the program work and what doesn't. And I think that we probably need more research in order to understand what aspects of these programs are more successful. And we also know from experimental literature in the lab that framing really matters. So we need to take that into account. And a lot of countries, particularly developing countries, are taking up skill building programs, but we need to know what works before they can be advised on how to take this forward. And I think that this also relates to Karen's point about sort of measurement issues. And just another observation, it seems from what Alan spoke about and also what Chris mentioned, is that mitigation of risk appears to be one of the sort of key avenues for helping households as well as firms and farmers to undertake more productive investments. And I think that we need to think more about that, to think about what would incentivize these people to maybe even invest in these technologies when they have to pay a little price for it, even if it's not the full market price. So these are just a few of my thoughts. Thank you. Thank you once again for being here and thank you for the comments as well. So I'd just like to keep it short and mention a few points that I found exciting in this session and a couple of other sessions as well. And these are things that I would like to work on in the next few years. So the first one was that I think that we can spend some more time thinking about how field experiments can be used to understand spillover effects. So just as an example, we know that there's a tight two way relationship between agriculture and health. So interventions in the health domain would have effects for agricultural outcomes and vice versa. And I think we can still work further on understanding that. And then also from the point of view of availability of data, it's quite exciting to know that there are more carefully collected panel data sets over longer periods of time. So I look forward to thinking more about intergenerational mobility and transmission of various effects. Finally, going back to more measurement issues, there was some talk yesterday, two days ago in the conflict session as well, that I think we need to move beyond just looking at the incidents of conflict at the level of the household and to more thinking about designing new questionnaires to look at the effect of conflict within the household. And finally, there's also been a movement towards measuring individual level behavioral and personality traits. I think there's still a lot more work to be done in measuring them better and also understanding the role of aspirations and expectations. So thank you. So we've time for some questions. So I'll take maybe three questions and then we'll see if we have time for a second round. So I'll start at the back here, would you please? Yes, my question is more specifically addressed to Shannon, but I entirely agree with you that we would like to have longer-term effects of RCT studies. But the question is that it seems that the methodology of RCT is particularly inappropriate for longer-term effect due to attrition and due to spillover effect. So it's indeed a self-contradictory statement. That's what we would like to do, but it's not the proper method because there are very specific conditions that we need to be met for the impact to be properly measured. Okay, I'll take one from the front. I think Alan's presentation put very clear background stories about the development of microeconomics and I entirely agree that microeconomics work had to be put into macro context back when you finish doing micro-works and we shouldn't forget RCT dominated and it brought very good evaluation techniques, but we should understand that development is a long-term process as Philippe mentioned and it is basically you cannot really do it RCT in the long, long-term time dimensions. So we have to be aware whenever you take, make evaluation and conclusions not to be too decisive. But my question is very much to Woodruff. I'm not surprised that microfinance product is not good for scaling from micro to because it's a standardized working capital and basically to get from micro to bigger scaling up enterprises, you need much more firm specific financial product. It's very financial services, very information-intensive things and you cannot do it with a standardized one. So it's not just grace period, two months, changing it, but much more thinking about it. And in that sense, yeah, I will quickly. In that sense, also I have a question, training. You mentioned that actually industries, specific sector, specific things are more important. So if training is too much general training, I'm not surprised it didn't have effect, but if it is training which is more geared to that particular sector they are working, that might make quite different. So again, information. Okay, I think we'll take one more before, I think I saw Louise's hand first. Thank you, I'm Louise Fox from the University of California at Berkeley. I first wanna congratulate the panel members. It was a terrific, this was a phenomenal panel. This was terrific, really good. I really want to focus a bit on Chris's presentation, but I'm gonna pick up on what Alain said about the macro micro linkages. We used to do something called the Micro Foundations of Macro Economics and it seems maybe we need to go back to that at least for development. And I think if we went back to that, Chris I would rephrase the question that you were answering. What do we know about creating wage employment? That's what your graph said that you put up, is that there isn't enough wage employment and that was where Santiago Levy left us at the end of the last session. And I think part of the answer is macroeconomic. It's Roderick's work about deindustrialization and the fact that the manufacturing sector is much more capital intensive due to globalization than it was years ago. And that the service sector is a sector of smaller firms and lower productivity. And so that leaves us then. I'm not sure the right question is, can we get self-employed and small enterprises to grow? And I think that when you talk about the marginal returns to capital in small enterprises, it's important to note that most of those grants may have increased profits, but they did not increase employment fantastically. And I think we need to remember that about your whole discussion about self-employment and these graphs and the shortage of capital. And finally, I would like to... And that's the problem with generalizing, by the way, from these RCTs to the broader generalizing beyond an RCT is that giving a grant is fundamentally different than giving a loan. And the people's behavior to a grant is fundamentally different than a loan because, I mean, Stiglitz has explained this to us many years ago about people's attitude toward risk. Finally... Yeah, I'd just like to say on... Chris, I think one question I would pose and maybe add to your agenda. Do you agree that we have underestimated in survey research on firms? Most of the survey research has been on households and not really on firms. Okay, so I think I'll ask the panel to respond and then we might have time for another round. Yeah, the issue of attrition and the kind of short-term, long-term is not specific to RCTs. We are going to whichever entry point we take, whatever measure we have, whatever way we have used to manage this entry point, we're going to be affected by how do we keep track of the longer-term impacts. I think there are interesting ways of combining natural experiments with RCTs. For example, think of an experiment where you do an RCT, a progressor type, right? And then you want to follow the long-term consequences. You're going to have a lot of attrition to follow specific individuals. Maybe you need to project it at the higher unit of analysis, at the municipality or at the regional level. So you are going to have a kind of dilution of tracking particular individuals, but they are going to be, of course, there's migration and there's going to be attrition across municipalities if you like. But you can recoup some of those spillover effects and some of those longer-term effects by kind of redefining, projecting onto a natural experiment following what you have done at the level of an RCT initially. And then you can do the opposite in terms of what you are proposing, which is start with a natural experiment which allows you to kind of track the broader longer-term impact. And then it raises issues of design, issues of incidents, which then you take on via specific RCT. So you go the other way around. We did, for example, work on the credit bureaus in Guatemala. You look at, first, the rollout and the impact that the credit bureaus have in the general sense, but then it asks very specific questions as to who are the beneficiaries, who are the ones who are hurt. And then you do maybe an encouragement design. You do an RCT. So I think we have to be careful not to put the method before the question. And once we have the question, it eventually suggests ways by which we can reconcile being precise in terms of measuring impact using RCTs, but at the same time following of the broader implications of what those interventions have using other kinds of data. Chris, do you want to? Yeah. So let me quickly go through a couple of things here. So first, let me start with Louise's comments. So fantastic. First of all, I'll point you to the PEDAL website, the program I run for DFID, where there are four research themes, one of which is micro-founded macro model. So we are trying to push in that direction. I can think of a handful of people who I think are doing fantastic work in that area, but it's a very small handful, and I think it's not enough. And we've had trouble getting good proposals on that theme in particular that I think is particularly challenging, but I agree with you completely that that's an area. Second, I would say, I don't think I wanted to say that scaling up micro-interprises is the way to move from the top left to the bottom right. In fact, by bringing up John Sutton's work, I think I'm saying that the evidence we have in large terms, a lot of them start large. There are other reasons to be interested in profit and income from micro-interprises. That tends to be people from the lower half of the income distribution. Even if they don't grow, if you can increase their incomes, there are reasons to think that might be a good thing. Clearly grants work differently than loans. Again, I see this as part of the learning process of trying to understand then what is what we need to do about the loans to make them work more like grants. I think the research itself illuminates an area. The other thing I'd say is it illuminates an area. This is very much the stereotypical, why are you looking there? That's where the light's better. We can do RCTs on micro-enterprises.  We can't do that very easily on large firms. That's a problem. I want to highlight in this that I think the focus has been too much on small firms because the methods that have been used have been focused on small firms. We need to think about how we do something in larger firms. I think we're making some progress in that area, but it's come later. I can't point you to a lot of things yet, except things that are in progress. The last thing I want to say is to say that we also, I think David and I are not saying that training for micro-enterprises doesn't work. We're saying that we don't know anything that we haven't learned because of it. Again, I guess when I reflect on that, I want to say maybe we haven't learned because this is just the sort of problem that RCTs are not so good at solving. Perhaps there's a design out there that would actually make more progress in that area. Just to compliment what I'm saying on the long term. I completely agree that the concerns about attrition and general equilibrium are mythological concerns that can be addressed within a RCT or without. It can be costly so that kind of requires and in a certain way the question is more when do we do that extra effort? I think that's one part of the question. The other one is thinking if we're interested in the long term we should be thinking about that when we design those studies and go from there. When we design the studies and we know we want to know the long term then the certain types of information we need and if the general equilibrium is a concern either on the short or on the long term we need randomization at a higher level to take that into account. There is a trade-off there between the short and the long term potentially but that's something that we can consider. The other part and this is coming back to the part that I skipped over I think understanding the context and the household decision making and the theory can also help us understand which parts of the population we expect the long term impact on and that then allows to in a certain way going away a little bit from the average treatment effect on the entire population and thinking about where should we focus or efforts because then it becomes easier in the sense of if we track the population that is of the highest interest and that's a more defined population the ones where we have seen short term impacts for instance because if there's no short term impacts it makes sense that there won't be much long term impacts although I guess you can tell a story where that's the case so I think it's an issue of being more innovative in a certain way and so that's kind of the I didn't explain the methodology behind the Karagba results I presented but that's kind of what we did we focused on the cohort that should have had the highest impact based on the drop-out rates etc and then we did a lot of effort to find them no matter where they went and then we used kind of attrition methodology to bound to whatever we find subsequently so we started a bit late so I'm going to take two more questions John maybe John John Rand University of Copenhagen it's a question for Chris following up on Luisa's comment and referring to the sheer work with the Klinow they also did some work or he did some work with Ben Alton as well about the missing middle but what I took from that work is actually what you also said now that we may be focusing a little bit too much also on research on the smaller medium scale enterprises just let policy makers a little bit to focus their credit schemes on the smaller medium scale sector because researchers are doing a lot of effort in documenting that you have big effects of actually granting capital grants to these firms however the sheer and ultimate work shows that large firms may be more relatively more capital constrained and they are more job creating as Luisa maybe is referred to so are we doing something are we biasing policy makers as well by the research that we are doing on focusing on these experiments on the small and medium scale enterprises Thanks John and then one last question over here if you can make it quick please Thank you I'm from University of Gothenburg I have a question for Professor Goudre very short, you mentioned about capital labour and technology but as I come through to your work there is also one more the surrounding institution of firm may impede their growing bigger because moving bigger may become more visible to the public and you have done job in Vietnam showing that firm realizing on informal arrangement to set to dial the contract and I have done the same research in SME in Vietnam and I felt that paying more bribe likely to have in compulsory industry likely to have environmental certificate on why firm is also likely to use it through surveying route so my question is is this a value for more such on why firm cannot grow in big OK so Miss Miel, so the last question is a great question or biasing policy makers by focusing too much attention on this I have to say I think in most contexts the large firm owners are better connected politically to capital than small enterprises do so maybe there is a sense in which we are offsetting but that is not the right answer because clearly we do need to look at what is happening in large firms as well this is a place where I think there is some work out there Ester and Objit have a paper that has been a working paper forever and I think now it is finally published using changes in policy for slightly larger middle-sized firms in India that looks at marginal returns to capital investments where set-aside programs were changed the thresholds for set-aside programs were changed allows them to look at access to capital for larger enterprises that is the kind of stuff we are going to have to do because you are not going to give grants to firms where it is $100,000 it is going to have to be things like that I know several, I tried myself in Mexico, Santiago is still gone I tried myself in Mexico Santiago is not involved but to do something with a program on credit guarantees governments spend hundreds of millions of dollars a year in subsidies for large-scale firms through credit guarantees large-scale medium size much larger than the small size we have no idea whether these work or not whether it is all inframarginal or anything that happens at extensive margin I tried to put something together in Mexico I know there is an Antoinette shore and Russell Toth I tried to put something together in Indonesia I think that was still alive but barely these are really hard programs to try to assess and I think we have to go back to thinking about how we use the data that is available I agree completely we shouldn't be ignoring that they are much more challenging that is where we need to move surrounding institutions I agree completely I think the microenterprises I worry less about that than I do once firms get to a certain size and the things that have been done on training a few of them go to slightly larger firms and you are going to run into that there are going to be constraints from being visible there are going to be constraints from running past your known network of suppliers and customers that makes it hard to expand more and so forth again I can point to a couple of things that are ongoing Dan Kenison has a project a part of his BRIC project where he wants to do something that is going to shift the cost curve that is going to tell us a lot about the expansion of firms that are slightly larger and what the demand curve at the firm level looks like which is I think one of the big research issues now is I can think about industry demand curves but I want to know about the firm demand curves I look at a place where there are 100 people doing exactly the same thing textbook tells us they all face flat demand curve they don't they don't for a variety of reasons including institutional ones you mentioned and I think we don't have a good sense of how much friction there is in those markets and I think we need to think that out we are ongoing in agricultural markets and ongoing in Dan's work in the BRIC sector and some others that are doing that but I think that's one way to kind of make progress in that area Karen and I maybe to sum up if you have any last comments we have been working with large firms you can have access to administrative data you can work with large banks it's a different set of contacts there are less degrees of freedom but you have a larger database as well so I think the working style is different but I don't see why a priori there is such an impediment to asking questions about large firms that you could ask about small firms okay so I'm afraid that's all we have time for so I mean I agree that it's been one of a very interesting session and we have come a long way but it's a lot further to go in relation to looking at the microeconomics of development so I'll let you all go to your lunch now and I won't say anymore thank you everybody

Hey everybody, what's going on? I am Greg Sussman baseball is back and so is Jim Sonnis a newly married man What's happening Jim? Obviously, I'm pretty great Greg It was nice to have a week to kind of rest up recharge see some family and have a lot of fun And but I'm coming back here and now Everything's hitting the fan all at once. We got NASCAR race on Thursday night We got baseball clean back Thursday a full slate on Friday So, you know, it was nice to rest up for a bit, but we are back in full swing How are you doing? I'm great, man In fact, I'll be back in full swing with baseball here opening day upon us But it's really beginning of all four major sports coming back We have baseball basketball a week later then hockey NASCAR and golf board have been there the football on the horizon Things are looking up. That's what they say that way. Let's get to opening day Thursday There's two baseball games to talk about Yankees and Natal. That's a big one. Max Scherzer take it on Garrett Cole here And well, you don't just like one of those pitchers You like both. Let's start with Garrett Cole. Who is priced at eleven thousand four hundred dollars over on FanDuel? You want to pay up for a picture on Thursday? You know with two of the best. Why are we starting Garrett Cole? Yeah, I think to me it's a pretty easy case to make Cole the top starter of the night And yeah, you know, you look at Clayton Kershaw's matchup. It's pretty intriguing But the talent level and Cole and Scherzer is so good that I'm gonna use them no matter what they're facing I think the matchup here for Garrett Cole is a bit better than it may seem given that the Nationals just won the whole thing last year So maybe people could be scared off with Anthony Rendon being gone This matchup or this lineup isn't as imposing as it would have been previously their active roster according to fangrass actually has Just a 97 WRC plus against righties based on last year's numbers and Cole He can take advantage of that last year a 40% strikeout rate 6% walk rate didn't allow a whole lot of hard contact I would expect that to continue this year once again now You could say the one downside is it is pitching on the road But I'm not sure what effect that's gonna have this year with no fans being in the stands It'll certainly saw some effect. He is still traveling, but well the same effect as it would previously I don't know, but I think that's with Garrett Cole being as good as he is It seems like he is mostly ramped up which allows me to afford to you know, justify paying 11-4 for him. I think that it just kind of makes sense I think that if you're tearing out the pitchers for the Thurston Ed Slate Garrett Cole is by himself at the top and then it's everyone else fighting for second place And I think that if you're doing just one lineup Garrett Cole would be the pitcher I'd use Of course, everybody else is really just only three other pitchers But Garrett Cole is the top pitcher on the board and you talked about how he seems ramped up here And from everything you've read everything you've looked at He's ready to go 90 pitches or so or so. I don't imagine he'll go much more If he can get six innings out of him, that would be of course ideal. Garrett Cole against the Nationals Well, it's top pitcher on the board for a reason Yankees gave him all that money for a reason to take advantage If you have one lineup, let's get him in there But you don't want to go with Garrett Cole if you want to go into that second tier you want to begin with Max Scherzer He's a bit cheaper than Garrett Cole at ten thousand seven hundred dollars. Why Max Scherzer over Clayton Kershaw? Yeah, if you look at just these two guys and based it on their matchup You're gonna favor Clayton Kershaw because he's facing the Giants and the Giants don't have a lot of pop against anybody But I think that's that's definitely true against lefties as well But the reason that I want to go with Max Scherzer is that the difference is just three hundred dollars and the skill level in Scherzer is enough to justify Swallowing the tougher matchup Scherzer last year had a 35% strikeout rate for the full season That's compared to 27% for Kershaw That is an 8 percentage point gap and that is a major difference made DFS expectation perspective The Yankees active roster last year against righties very good. They ranked fourth in WRC plus according to Fangrass That's good But they do have a higher than average strikeout right against righties as well Which gives Scherzer a pathway really good ceiling My hope here Greg is that people avoid Max Scherzer because he's facing the Yankees That is definitely a tough matchup, but we don't care about the floor and cash gains We are in tournaments we care about the ceiling and Scherzer against a team that will strike out at home And being as good as he is has a really good ceiling So if you want to go for the safer route, maybe you want to go Kershaw there, but I'm going to Kohl and cash gains I think that it makes sense to emphasize ceiling and I think that the ceiling for Scherzer is better than the ceiling for Kershaw So to me, I think Scherzer is better straight up than Clayton Kershaw I think that he has the potential to be a little bit less popular than Kershaw as well It's me that says I want Scherzer as my number two guy behind Garrett Kohl I think the talent is too good to pass up and I'm hoping people lower their interest in him due to the matchup Because if they do, I'm going to gobble him up and be pretty excited about him at lower popularity I think that analysis is spot on here Jim, Garrett Kohl is the best And there's a reason you want to put him into your cash game lineup, but it comes to tournaments Most people I imagine are going to pin it to a little bit cheaper in the Clayton Kershaw If you believe Max Scherzer is better, well, that's one certainly check mark in his column The other is what you mentioned with how much the Yankees do tend to strike out Facing a strikeout pitcher in Max Scherzer, and especially because Scherzer got roughed up a little bit in a scrimmage last week People may be down on Max Scherzer, he shouldn't be Nate's tournament, he's a somehow sneaky play despite the price tag And despite the name, with just four pitchers on the board and of course we're ignoring San Francisco Max Scherzer is going to be the sneakiest play out of Clayton Kershaw and Garrett Kohl Potentially the smartest, and that's how you're going to win the cash with that highest upside with Max Scherzer A lot of hand motions today on the hurry up, but it's opening day and we're excited So let's move on Jim to some of the hitters and we begin with the Dodgers Max Muncie He's $3,900 here on Fandle, and Muncie, well he had obviously a very good year last season You think he gets off to a good start, obviously we are stacking with Dodgers in our lineup Because why would he want a hitter that's going after Garrett Kohl or Clayton Kershaw Or Max Scherzer when you don't have to, so let's start with our first Dodger and that is Max Muncie Yeah, no disrespect to Johnny Quaidow, because Johnny Quaidow for a long time has been a very good pitcher But I think when you're looking at the pitchers on this slate, it's pretty obvious that the team we're going to want to stack is the Dodgers And the Dodgers have expensive studs in guys like Cody Bellinger and Mookie Betts And they could be expensive as a whole, but they also have some affordable pieces within their lineup And one of them at the top end is definitely Max Muncie And I think that Muncie, you know, is a good alternative if you can't get up to guys like Betts and Bellinger Muncie, last year a 267 isolated slugging percentage against right handed pitching That's a very good number and he justified it, but a 44% hard hit rate And a 41% fly ball rate The strike area for Muncie, not too bad either, just 24% against righties I think that all those things definitely check in the boxes there for sure So he's $3900 Even if you use Kohl, that's going to be affordable Some of the bats we're going to talk about later on So I think that Muncie is affordable, a high upside piece And in the lineup we want to stack for this slate So I think that if I'm locking in just one Dodger, I think I'm going to start with Max Muncie Because I think that I can make it work around him And he's got the upside to justify it So Muncie may be one of the first Dodgers I turn to Even if he's not quite as attractive as guys like Betts and Bellinger Certainly the name value isn't there with Max Muncie compared to Cody Bellinger and Mookie Betts And we told you we're stacking Dodgers, you would have thought that's exactly where we're starting Garrett Kohl is the must have Max Muncie should also be a must have in your lineup Very, very affordable As are some other Dodgers I don't think Muncie would be the first Dodger I lock in We're going to have to him in just a second But Muncie is certainly a viable option here on this opening day slate The Dodger that I'm most excited about here Maybe even this season Jim, it's Corey Seeger He's $3200 on a Fandall And he's healthy We haven't seen Corey Seeger healthy in a long time And just starting the season out here in July Without any health concerns With the normal off season You're going to get a guy that Well, just a couple of years ago was the best One of the best young haters in baseball He's a really good price It's the right matchup here against Johnny Cueto I love Corey Seeger He's the first Dodger that I'm locking into my lineup And I can't fault you for that for a second, Greg Because he is super affordable at $3200 And even though, like you said He was coming off a big injury last year Even in that 2019 season Seeger still was sneakily kind of good He had a 42% hard hit rate against righties With a 40% fly ball rate Those are numbers that can generate some upside In DFS for sure And he did that while striking out just 15% of the time When you put all that together It says that he is a guy Who could have a lot of single game upside I think we could see that come to fruition this year Especially if you can take an extra step forward As he is another year, like you said Or removed from all those injuries The main question we could have with Seeger Is where he'll bat in the order Once we get all those Dodger studs Funneled them there Because Seeger at times last year Didn't bat super high in the order Definitely a downside for DFS But he did hit ahead of Jack Peterson on Tuesday In their scrimmage Which is a good sign Which I think means Seeger is probably going to bat Somewhere around 5th or 6th And if he does so That is absolutely acceptable In this lineup In this matchup And in this park as well The talent is there Further removed from the injury Good spot lineup In the exact team we want to stack That's a lot of things to like About Corey Seeger for $3200 So if you want to put Seeger Above Muncie once you consider the salaries I will not push back on that for a second Because Corey Seeger is just that good The good news is the price is Allowing you to put both Muncie And Corey Seeger in your lineup In the right matchup here Against Shawnee Quaidow I imagine we're going to see Seeger Actually move up in the lineup As the season goes But that's not going to help us Of course for one day DFS play With the Dodgers and the Giants Here on Thursday But Corey Seeger All these metrics as you mentioned Going the right direction He's healthy here If you could just bat high enough In the order he gets more at bats Well he's going to be well worth it We really like Corey Seeger here On the hurry up So we've got him in your lineup One more Dodger to mention He just talked about him And that's Jock Peterson Now Jock Peterson We didn't think it was going to be A be a Dodger here in July And yet he is And he's going to be in the lineup And he's also cheap All of these combinations Means he should be in your lineup As well on Fandall Yeah I think we can say A decent amount of certainty That Jock Peterson will be The most popular player On this Thursday's slate But a lot of times Chalk is chalk for a reason Greg And that's the case with Jock Peterson on Thursday night Because he's facing a righty He is a value play And Duke can do stupid things With a baseball bat Because last year against Righties he had a 319 Isolated slugging percentage A 46% heart hit rate And a 43% fly ball Where you got to fan yourself Off during that When you see his salary Is $2,800 And also his strikeout rate Was a lot lower Than you'd imagine at 21% Now Peterson because A lot of things are maybe Not where you'd want them to be Is probably going to bat A little bit lower in the order I would expect him to bat At the highest 6th or so Now that Mookie Betz is in town But that's okay When it comes to that As much upside as Jock Peterson brings And when we're stacking this team As we will be stacking The Dodgers on Thursday There is a lot of upside For a low salary So yeah Jock Peterson is going to be popular Again I would If I had to bet I would say he's probably The most popular player On Thursday night's slate But again I don't like Carroll that much I think he's worth it $2,800 in a fantastic matchup I think that Jock is Definitely one of the best Or I would say the best Value play on the slate And someone who Is justifiable Even though Everyone else is going to use him too There's this whole mantra That Jock Peterson kills righties And it's not a mantra It's just true And Jock Peterson has to be In your lineup Almost whenever he plays A right handed pitcher And especially When he is priced Under $3,000 on fans At least $2,800 It's Jock Like you like to say Jock for a reason He's the right play Corey Steger's a little bit Sneakier Max Muncie Max Scherzer A little bit sneakier Jock Peterson Well everyone's going to have him And when he goes off You need to have him as well He's $2,800 on the fan bill So make sure he's In your lineup One last player To mention Jim And it's Well not a Dodger Alright And he's also Unbelievably cheap If he's in the lineup At $2,100 Well you got to start Wilmer Flores I feel like the reasoning Is simply Well he's starting And he costs a minimum That makes sense It's also because He's facing a leftie And Wilmer Flores Despite being Only like 27 years old Has been Like the most Automatic guy Against a leftie For it seems Like a decade at this point No matter what Team he's played for It seems like Whatever Oh hey They're facing a leftie He could hit Pretty high in this lineup Because the giants Have a lot of lefties And if they decide To factor in the platoon Thing here with Clayton Kershaw We could see Wilmer Flores Potentially that As high as like Third And at $2,100 Sign me up baby Because last year A 279 isolated Slugging percentage Against left handed Pitching And just an 11% Strike rate When you combine power With a low strike Outrate That is a tremendous Combination for DFS And it's not A long time now Despite being Not that old If we look at Just the past two calendar Years he has a 39% Hard hit rate Against left handed Pitching That's all good Maybe it's a bit daunting To have him Facing Clayton Kershaw But I'd rather pick Bats against Kershaw Than against Garrett Cole And Max Scherzer For sure And last year Kershaw Did allow a 41% Hard hit rate To right handed batters When they make contact They can do some good Things I think the Flores Is palatable Because that salary Will stand out so much Again, I just think It's worth it Wilmer Flores Does bad things To lefties He is cheap Probably going to Bet pretty high In the order And he has a softer Matchup than a lot Of guys on this slate So Wilmer Flores Definitely someone We can turn to When trying to Jam in guys Like Garrett Cole And could potentially Allow us To get back up to Guys like Mookie Bats And Cody Belanger For our hitters As well Essentially the mirror Mark Peterson He destroys righties Not so much Even playing against Lefties Even better part About Wilmer Flores Just $2,100 And you can see him That even Third in the lineup Killed lefties forever Since he was crying On the field With the New York Mets All the way to Arizona And of course now With San Francisco Wilmer Flores A guy I really Like last year And I really Like here on Opening Day Especially with a price Being at $2,100 That's going to Do it for us Here on I've been ready, Greg It's been It's been a long wait For this day To finally get here It seems a lot of times Like we may not get here But hey It's here Let's enjoy it Let's have a full Slate Friday too I am ready For some sports Be back I appreciate it And I'll be talking You a couple of times Next week too So that's Even more reason To be excited That's right Twice a week You and I Next week Here, Jim Five days a week Is what the hurry up And stay safe everybody


The text below was found in a half-burned journal within a lean-to-shelter built against the wreckage of the Pelican, a brush plane reported missing a month ago. Despite a sweeping search of the area in a five-mile wide circle, nothing could be recovered of the pilot, Jensen Dennings. The stranger signs of his survival were markings found in a circle around his base of living, as if to determine territory. Signs of broken game traps have been discovered outside this territory with one area resembling what rescuers assume was his last stand against a massive grizzly. Blood covers said area thickly. The text below is transcribed from the journal. The incidents and details can be taken as evidence of how badly concussed and injured Dennings was, as some entries seem to detail severe brain damage from the crash. No evidence of the creature Dennings speak of can be found. Note, initial pages are heavily scorched if not burned completely away. Days 1 through 7 are lost. Dennings skips days. Theories state he may have condensed progress into chunks. Day 8 Took inventory of what's left of my plane. Shelters should hold out for snow. Managed to salvage most of the plane for what I needed. Wires for cordage, fuel for emergency fire starter, seats for a decent bed. Got emergency rations for my survival kit under the seat. Maybe two to three days worth if I stretch it. Fire is easy to keep lit. Plenty of dead trees and cedars here and my little hatchet is coming in handy. Left leg busted. Ears still ringing. Shock is gone. Gotta hunker down and hope they find me. Day 13 Foods down to dried nuts and fruits, sparingly eating those. Snow came in heavy two days ago. Wind has been tearing at my shelter. But the cedar branches help as best they can. Reset my leg in the fork of a tree. Wrapped it with branches and a tie down strap. Gonna have to do. Found a river south of my forked tree. Water is fresh and clear. My ears don't ring anymore. Still praying they find me. I got faith in the rescue teams back at HQ. Day 16 Eyes caught a pair of them across from my fire after waking up. Just on the outside of the lights reach. No moon out. Darkness made it all the more unnerving. Two white orbs. Completely still. A bear, a wolf, a deer. They would prowl around. Move some. Not this. It held completely still. Splashed fuel on the fire to spook it. Wasn't there when the flames settled down?  No sleep tonight after this. Still have hope. Handful of nuts now. Maybe the stream has fish. Day 22 Eyes haven't returned. Sleep is still difficult. Leg is still stove up and tender. No fish to be found. No rabbits. No sort of small game. I've got a little fat on me. I can last a week or two without food if I have to hunger is bad, though.  Don't know what I expect that all to do. But it is a simple task that makes me use my legs and keep occupied. Gathered up some wood, limped around outside my little area to search for food. Just barren woods and snow. Day 25, woke up to a low fire, barely lit. The eyes were closer now, a few feet away. I screamed in terror and the eyes lifted up higher than what I stood. And it screamed back through the last of my fuel on the fire. I caught a glimpse of it bounding away, skin and bones, all gray and screwed up, built the fire high and huddled as far back against that plane as I could. It's not afraid to close in when I'm not ready. And it likes to do it at night. Noted, added more spears when sun broke, set some snares outside my area in desperation, scared shitless the whole time. Hunger is maddening, they need to find me soon. Day 32, no eyes taken to digging at roots under bushes and trees, eating bugs in the softer stems. Stomach is on fire constantly, but it holds me out, legs getting better. Water turned murky yesterday, added another wall to the shelter, stuffed jagged bits of metal here and there, small comfort. I don't wait for the rescue teams anymore, just for the eyes. Day 34, saw it just before sunset while out scavenging. White eyes, only part I could see as it leered at me from behind the bushes and hidden just across the stream, picked up a big branch, swung it around and yelled a war cry. It stood up, let out a whistling screech, took notice of how large its stomach was, not so thin now, pissed myself right then and there, turned and ran, heard it going the opposite way too. Day 36, it marked around my markings, exactly three feet from each of my markings is claw marks or stacked pebbles, it's smart. I check over my shoulder constantly, smallest noise makes me panic. Hunger is getting worse, but I refuse to leave my circle. Day 37, it sits outside my circle of spears now, fire doesn't scare it. I refuse to try and get close. Imagine a gray alien with an oval like head, all thin and smooth, no genitals, no definite features save for those eyes and daggers for claws. Sits in the same spot, it still has a belly on it, good and fed apparently. No water, no food. I refuse to move further than my spears. Day 39, last entry I'll make, I can't take it anymore. It looks fatter lately, must have found something I haven't. Hunger and thirst is driving me mad, sharpened my hatchet all day. I want to eat, I need to eat.  God forgive me for my sins, I hope they find me.


Hello and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question. It says, find the volume of a sphere whose surface area is 154 centimeters square. Let us first understand the formula for volume of sphere. Volume of sphere is equal to 4 by 3 pi r cube where r is the radius of the sphere and value of pi is 22 upon 7. To solve this question we also need to know the formula for surface area of sphere. It is 4 pi r square. So this knowledge will work as key idea. Let us now move on to the solution. We are given that the surface area of sphere is 154 centimeters square. Now to find the volume of the sphere we need to know the radius of the sphere and the surface area of the sphere is 4 pi r square. So this implies 4 pi r square is equal to 154 centimeters square. So this implies r square is equal to 154 upon 4 pi centimeter. Now substitute the value of pi. So this implies r square is equal to 154 upon 4 into 22 upon 22 upon 7. The value of pi is 22 upon 7 which is equal to 154 into 7 upon 22 into 4 is 88 which is equal to 12.25. This implies radius r is under the root of 12.25 which is equal to 3.5 centimeter. So the radius of the sphere is 5 centimeter. Now we need to find the volume of the sphere. Volume of sphere 4 by 3 pi r cube where r is 3.5 centimeter. So the volume is 4 by 3 into pi which is 22 upon 7 into r cube that is 3.5 cube. And the unit of volume is centimeter cube because unit of radius is centimeter so the unit of volume is centimeter cube. Simplifying this is 4 by 3 into 22 upon 7 into 3.5 into 3.5 into 3.5 centimeter cube which is again equal to 4 by 3 into 22 upon 7 into 35 upon 10 into 35 upon 10 into 35 upon 10 centimeter cube. And on simplifying this we get this to be equal to 179.67 centimeter cube which can also be written as the mixed fraction 179 2 by 3 centimeter cube. Hence the volume of the sphere is 179 2 by 3 centimeter cube. So this completes the question. Do remember the formula for surface area of the sphere and the volume of the sphere. So this completes the question. Bye for now. Take care. Have a good day.


I feel the presence of the Holy Ghost. I feel the presence of the Lord in every fiber of this carpet. I feel, as I stepped in here tonight, that the glory of God is in this house. First of all, I wanna thank God for the privilege of being here. I enjoyed meeting your pastors today, and how many glad your pastors back home after a month. Amen. Hallelujah. And I wanna say right up front, God is gonna move in this house tonight. Hallelujah. I appreciate the introduction. I appreciate pastor being back. I appreciate the good work of the latter mirror. I thank God for the moving of his spirit in this house. But I want you to welcome a special friend of mine that I brought with me tonight. You may or may not know him. His name is Jesus. Let's give him a hand. Big hand for Jesus. Yeah, come on, my heart's up top. Glory to God. Now, while you're standing, listen close. Everybody here is in some type of a battle. Without exception, everybody in this house has some kind of problem. Now you went from penny cost to presbyterian just that quick. Because you do have problems. Can you say amen? But I'm just wondering, what would it be like if all of a sudden we would praise him as though the victory is already won? As though the battle is over. Hallelujah. Let's praise him as though the battle is over. Come on. Yes, glory. Yeah, yeah, ha, ha.   Glory, glory, glory. Hallelujah. One, two, three.  Yes, yes, yes, yes. Glory, thank you, Lord.  Yes, glory. Then you may be seated. God bless you. I wanna thank God for the privilege, the wild back of meeting one of the greatest prophets of God I've ever met in my life. Prophet T.B. Joshua. Amen. You'll hear me talk about great men of God that I was privileged to stand on their shoulders in the past. I was privileged to pastor Miracle Valley Church under the ministry of the late great A.A. Allen. I knew personally, Oral Roberts, William Brownham, Catherine Cooman, right on down the line. And I was privileged to stand on the shoulders of some great men of God. But when I stepped into the synagogue church of all nations and I saw this man of God come forth, the Spirit of the Lord told me then. He said, of all the prophets, I have sent this prophet to this generation at this time. I saw greater works and the truest prophecies under his ministry. And what I saw with these eyes was not half of what was happening. And the Lord said to me personally, He is chosen for this generation. And when I found this church was so closely associated with Prophet T.B. Joshua, and I had an invitation to come. I said, I wanna go. Hallelujah, I wanna come. So we're here under the divine direction of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ tonight. Amen, we'll have some people that came with me. First of all, my daughter and her husband, Billy Price and Brenda, my firstborn, would you just stand, amen? Glory. And then their daughter, Rebecca, Rebecca. Hallelujah. And Michelle heard that we was coming and she's in California. She said, somehow I'm gonna get to that meeting. And Michelle, you stand there. Some people here would like to know you. Amen. And I'd like for Brenda to come here for just a moment. Brenda, my firstborn. When Brenda was about five years old, an angel came into her room and took her to heaven. And even though I'm preaching now from the time I was 15, 70 years, my mantle has fallen on Brenda, powerful minister. Her ministry is a personal ministry. Through prophecy and the laying on of hands, I just won't Brenda to say a word here. Amen, praise God. What a surprise, hallelujah. Glory. Well, I feel the presence of God in here. And I know that some of you are going to not leave here the way you came. And that God has a miracle with your name on it. And he has solidified it in the spirit. All you've got to do is reach out and grab it. We used to sing a song. Yes, you can have it, reach out and grab it. Hallelujah, and it's right above you right now. As a matter of fact, in the spirit, I was praying all night, come on. And there's a glory cloud in here right now. And it's right above your head and it's dripping. It's dripping all our water or something. I can see it right now. Hallelujah. Matter of fact, there's somebody here with vertebrae problem and God is healing your vertebrae right now. It's out of alignment and God's healing it right now. Hallelujah. There's someone else you're having pain in your heart and God's healing that. There's a palpitation that comes and it begins to really throb. God said it's healed now. Hallelujah. Urrake orra basandarate era.  It's time for your miracle. Glory to God. Hallelujah. I'm really glad to be here. I've been here to be with you folks for many other meetings and events. And I've loved every one of them, never been bored, never went home without a blessing. Hallelujah. I'm so grateful for this ministry. We love these folks. They have been precious to us. And I just hope you know what you have. Amen. I hope you appreciate what God's put in this place because this was hollowed out by the hand of God for this time and for this ministry. So we're privileged to be here with you tonight and God's going to do something for you. You came expecting. I know you did. Some of you came and took all that you had to get here. God sees it. God knows it. There's a check with your name written on it. Be ready to give it a cash in. Amen. Sister up to Grove and I've been married 62 years. She's home praying for the meeting tonight. I talked to her just before coming to service. And she said, honey, everything is going to be all right. Powerful prayer warrior. Thank God we have four children, two boys, two girls, 15 grandchildren, 14 great-grandchildren. Hallelujah. Still believe in God. Can you say amen? I want to talk to you for just a few minutes tonight from the Word of God. And I won't be long reading because I just, I can't wait to get out here in the swim. Amen. God is in this house tonight. Hallelujah. So get TB, one man of God said, get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready, get ready. How many came ready? I'm going to read verses from Acts chapter 4 verse 13 down through 20. Now, when they saw the boldness of Peter and John and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marveled. And they took knowledge of them that they had been with Jesus. And beholding the man which was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it. But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves saying, what shall we do to these men? For that indeed a notable miracle has been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem. And we cannot deny it, but that it spread no farther among the people, let us straightly threaten them that they speak henceforth to no man in this name. And they called them and commanded them not to speak at all or teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said unto them, whether it be right in the sight of God to hearken under you more than under God, judge ye, for we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard. Now, Lord, anoint this word. Anoint me from the crown of my silver head to the bottom of my feet.  Turn me loose. Let me preach. Let me minister in the name of Jesus. Everybody said amen. I want to share with you just a few things that I have seen and I can't help but talk about it. We talk about miracles and you heard Brother Latimer mention a revival in Detroit that lasted three and a half years. Not because CS Up the Grove went there, but because God decided he would show up. Amen. And during the course of that revival, we saw so many miracles. The city was turned upside down for God during the worst kind of circumstances. It was right after the riot and we only was in that revival but three months when Dr. Martin Luther King was killed and so the whole city shut down for another week so we had day services. During the course of that revival, I saw one night a woman that came in. I sat about halfway back and soon as I got the microphone, God led me directly to her. Her name was Joan Edmonds. Joan Edmonds had one kidney that had been destroyed by cancer. The other kidney was being destroyed by cancer and the doctor's prognosis was that she had less than 30 days left to live. Her body would actually swell up and burst or she would be suffocated and die that way. He was one of the leading gynecologists in the city of Detroit at the time, a Jewish doctor and well known. He'd made many X-rays and Joan had been his patient for several months but now she's near death. She had a little son named Jeff. He was 12 years old and she was raising him by herself and all of a sudden the spirit of God spoke to me. He said, call her out and when I called her out and she stood just like looking through a television screen I saw her condition and I described it and she said, yes, yes, yes. Just like you said, when I put my hand on Joan Edmonds head I did it in the name of Jesus, hallelujah. And the spirit of the Lord came up on her and she fell out on the floor. She lay there about five minutes and stood up and she made a simple statement. She said, I'm healed. Now you couldn't tell it from just looking but the next day she had an appointment with her doctor. When she walked in the office, she said, doctor, she said, I'm healed. Now he thought she was hallucinating. The world don't understand this thing we've got, amen. And he said, yes, Joan. He began to sympathize with her. I understand, I understand. She said, I want you to re X-rays. She said, Joan, I've got so many X-rays of you. It's unbelievable. She said, but X-ray again. So he made an X-ray. She said, Joan, come back. I want to make another X-ray. He made another one. Five different X-rays. He was astounded because not only was the kidney that was destroyed restored a brand new kidney, the other one was totally and completely healed. Healed instantly. Did I tell you that's been about 42 or 43 years ago? Joan Edmonds is still alive as a witness and a testimony.  How's your heart about shy? Somebody shout, amen. And as I came in tonight, the Lord said the same spirit that was in that revival is in this service tonight. Lord of God, somebody shout, amen. One time my daughter, she's been in these revivals so many years. And she said, dad, please tell them about the little two year old boy, the little waterhead baby. I was in Cincinnati, Ohio. There was a church on the corner of 15th and Race Street in Cincinnati. It was a Friday morning service and a mother came in.  Its head was about two to three times its normal size. The reason that little homemade crate was about its head was so the children wouldn't bump into it. And not only was that wrong with the child, he was, for all practical purposes, brain dead. The doctors said he would die at any time. And when it came time for her to be prayed for, she said, brother, up the grove, this baby has no feelings. Its bones is like a, it's more like a rubber doll. He has never said anything. And they tell me that he will never say anything. And my mom and dad tried to get me to make this baby a ward of the state. My sisters and my brother said, you'd be so much better off. Said he'll never be able to say anything. He'll never walk, he may die at any time. You'll be better off if you'll just make him a ward of the state. She said, brother, up the grove, I would have done that. But I read somewhere, all things are possible to him that believe it. That was faith enough for me. I sit down and she put that little baby in my arms. I had her take that little crate from around its head. And I started to pray for it. And I'd get to his name and I couldn't say his name. Because every time I'd start to say his name, my own son's name would come up. I had a son the same age at that time. And his name was John, I'd wanna say John. I prayed three times before I could speak his name in tears. I just cried till tears puddled on the floor. Finally, I was able to speak his name in the name of Jesus.  Now I felt it beneath my hands and the mother saw it. She began to shout and say, thank God he has healed my son. Now, from the audience, you could not tell that anything had happened. I was the only one that felt the head beginning to shrink and the mother was the one that saw it. But she was the last one to leave the service that night or that morning rather, praising God. Because her son was healed. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. And God said to me, remember the fig tree. I cursed it one day, but it was not evident until the next day. He said, the very root of what's wrong with this child has been cursed. Glory to God. That's what God's gonna do down here tonight, amen. Now, when she got home with that child, she laid it on the bed beside her because anywhere she would lay that baby, that's where it would be the next morning. Couldn't move, couldn't turn, couldn't say. Just like a vegetable. But sometime after midnight, and I just felt the Holy Ghost come in. Sometime after midnight, a hand hit that mother's face. And a baby that had never said anything, said, mama, I'm thirsty, get me some water. The next night when I walked in the service, I did not know who that child was. He was normal. The mother said, run to brother up and go over, he ran to me and gave me a big, beautiful smile. And that's not all that happened. God blessed that child with a supernatural mind. He excelled in school. He finished high school by the time he would have gone to the 10th grade.  Hey man, a supernatural brain. I got letters from that mother over 20 years, how God healed that baby. Let me tell you something. Take the limit off of God. Hey, I wrote a book one time called Take the Limit Off of God. You can limit God through your own mind, through your own thinking. But honey, you can also take the limit off of God. Somebody shout, amen. Amen. I wanna help somebody with this story I'm about to tell. There was a woman in that Detroit revival that set about halfway back, always on the aisle. And that was the saddest looking woman I've ever seen. For the first six months, God would not let me call her out. And I asked the pastor, I said, what's wrong with that woman? He said, I don't know, brother. I said, she's a charter member of the church. I don't know why she looks that way. Right behind her one night, there was a man with a skin cancer on the face. I was telling Brother Latimer about it today.  Right behind her. And God told me to put my hand on that cancer. I did, and it just slid off in my hand and his face became like a baby's skin. Just to play it completely healed. Well, the whole church began to shout and praise God, except that woman. She still looked the same way. Everybody was shouting, praising God, but her. The next night, God said, you can call her out tonight. I said, thank you, Jesus. I wanted to find out what was wrong here. So when she stood up, she said, she spoke first, she said, I brother up to go, you're gonna get on to me because I don't shout like everybody else. And I can't laugh, I have no smile. Said my spirits wounded. She said, I have a husband that's a chronic alcoholic. He never gets home with a paycheck. We're in debt. I have one son and one daughter. Said my son is in jail for selling dope.   And since it's a ministry of compassion, just for a moment, I want to sit right beside her and look like she'd been looking. That was a sad story. But the spirit of the Lord said, give her this scripture. And I began to quote to her, trust in the Lord with all my heart. She said, I do, I check with the spirit. The spirit said, she does. I said, trust in the Lord with all my heart. Lean not to that own understanding. She said, I don't. And the spirit said, she doesn't. I said, well, Lord, what are you doing to me? Because you told me to give her this. Amen. He said, quote the scripture. I said, trust in the Lord with all my heart. Lean not to your own understanding. All thy ways, acknowledge him. She said, I do. And the spirit said, she does. And then the third time God said, finish the scripture. I said, and he shall direct thy path. I said, now, sister, is it of any interest to you that Paul and Silas were thrown in jail for doing nothing but preaching the gospel? I said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego was thrown in the fiery furnace because they wouldn't kneel before the golden idol. I said, Daniel was thrown in the lion's den because he would not quit praying. I said, but listen, Daniel kept on praying anyhow and God gave the lion lock jaw. The Hebrew children kept on praising God and a fourth man showed up in the furnace to liberate and set him free. I said, is it any interest to you that when Paul and Silas and Daniel and the Hebrew children were delivered because they still praised the Lord? And God said to tell you, if you will quit looking down and start praising God with your whole heart, things will turn around for you. All of a sudden, she looked up and she said, oh, I see what you're saying, preacher. And she began to shout and praise God with her whole heart. See what you may not realize that in the center of your brain, there's a chemical called cataclysmine. I had the correct spelling and all, I looked it up and this is true. Years ago, the Bible told us, hallelujah, about what joy, what joy, what joy, and laughter would do. And that there's healing and joyful people live so much stronger than sad people. So when that cataclysmine is released, healing comes and the only way that it will be released, that chemical is when you have a good old fashioned belly laugh. It will not come when you just say ha ha or he here. That's funny. It comes when you just break down and laugh. Well, this woman began to laugh and shout and praise God. The next night she came back and had I not known where she liked to sit, I wouldn't have known it was the same woman. There was a glory about her, a halo about her. She said, let me testify, I said, please do.  Now, bear in mind, alcoholic husband, a son in prison, a daughter in the insane institution, hopeless. But she said at two o'clock in the morning, here came my husband drunk as usual. But this time I looked on his countless, I knew something had changed. He said, honey, he said, pray for me, pray for me. He said, I heard a voice a hundred yards from the house and the voice said, if I don't get saved tonight, I'm gonna split hell wide open, pray for me. He said, brother up to grow, knelt by his bed and in five minutes he was stoned sober. Hallelujah. So I kept on praising God. Said this morning my phone rung and a voice said, is this Mrs. Johnson? She said, yes. Said, this is the institution where we have your daughter. Last night at nine o'clock, a remarkable change came over her. We don't understand it, but she's normal now. Nine o'clock is when I had her in the aisle.  Now ask Michelle to give me this water. You better shower, I'm gonna baptize somebody. Ha ha, hallelujah. She said, last night at nine o'clock, that's when the miracle happened. That's when I had her in the aisle telling her, that's when she began to praise God and God healed her daughter. Six o'clock, she said, I was getting ready for church this evening and the local sheriff's office told me they were sending my boy home on good behavior. Now check, the devil's got you looking down with a frown and sad and mad and discouraged and agitated and irritated. I got a secret for you. Laugh at the devil. Praise God anyhow. I don't know what you might be facing, but I can tell you this much. If you will praise God anyhow. I was thinking tonight, tomorrow, they're going to have that water service. May not wait till in the morning. In that same revival, I had water like this one night and God said, throw water on the people. I said, God, somebody get mad at me. Oh, that's all right, you can go sit down. Oh, hey, she's a willing worker. So I hauled off and throwed water and it was a blind woman on the second row and one dropped it one eyelid, one hit the other one and both eyes open, totally healed. Just like that. Ha ha, glory to God, where was I? Ha ha. So here's what the Lord has said to me right now. If you will praise God anyhow. Now, when I went to scone for the first time and heard this man of God prophesy and saw the prophecies come to pass and God spoke to me that he'd say the best to the last. I knew that there would be people that would not understand the water. I knew there would be people that would not understand a red mantle that I use. I laid it on the backs of thousands of people in the name of Jesus and I watched the cripple walk and the cancer spit up. I knew there'd be people that wouldn't understand it. And here's what God said to me. He said, son, tell the people what I use to prove that I have power. I said, speak on God. I read in the word where God used a stick. One stick to part a river. He used a stick in the hands of Shamgar to slay 600 Philistines. Just a stick. I read in the Bible where God used a stone to slay a giant. I read in the Bible where God used the dead dried up bones of Elisha to raise the dead back to life again. So if anybody asks you what does God use to prove he's got power, he uses sticks and stones and dead men's bones. Hallelujah. And that's why I know God can use water. Somebody shout amen. Amen. Glory to God, hallelujah. Short of us. I'm feeling sugared diabetes right here in this area. Somebody asked sugared diabetes, would you just stand? God's gonna deliver you right now. The only known cure for sugared diabetes is Jesus. Doctors have no cure for sugared diabetes. If you're suffering with sugared diabetes, just stand to your feet. God wants to deliver you right now. I feel it real strong. Too much sugar. Amen. Over here, you already just some rain standing. Right here. Anybody has any sugar? Stand up right now is your time. Somebody right in here has too much sugar. You're not standing. Amen. Are you ready? Raise your hand. Father in the name of Jesus.  Heal that man right now. In the name of Jesus. Let that sugar come down to normal. In the name of Jesus. Be healed, my sister.  Jesus' name, I call it done. You may be seated. Amen. Somebody in a car accident, you're still suffering as a result of that car accident. Would you just stand to your feet? Amen. I felt it because I was right here close. Tell me about the accident and what happened to you. Right? And were you in the same accident? Diver went okay. Come right here to the aisle. How long had those palpitations? How long is it the accident? A year ago, maybe? Half a year. Okay, raise your hands. Father in the name of Jesus, I thank you. I'll be no more palpitations, no more result of that accident. She's healed in the name of Jesus. I praise you for now. Take a deep breath in the name of Jesus. Oh yeah, it's done, honey.  That's right. Did they x-ray your neck after that accident? Yes. Uh huh. And what did they tell you? They said that it could be a pinched nerve. I had to go for MRI, but I did not want to pay that money for it, so I didn't go. But they said it could be a pinched nerve. Mm hmm. Well, I'm looking at it. And what I'm seeing is not a pinched nerve. I'm seeing it just wouldn't be any planer if I was looking at an x-ray. There's a hairline fracture in this vertebrae right here. I could put my hand on it. I won't squeeze too hard because it'll be painful for you. But right here in this area of your neck, there's a hairline fracture. There's also a swelling there. Well, that's taking place. And it hurts you the most when you turn your head from left to right.  Just hold your shoulder straight because I'm gonna pray and God's gonna put a new vertebrae there. I thank you, Lord. In the name of Jesus. You're looking all right. Feeling the pain, I don't think she's pain anymore. It's gone. It is. Yeah. Bible said rejoice with him that rejoiced. Go ahead, give the Lord a hand, everybody. That's done. Go ahead, honey. God bless you. Keep praising God.  To ha ha Shabbosah. You was in an accident. In Sudan. Yesterday. No, in Sudan. In Sudan, yeah. Oh, okay. And where does it hurt you the most? As I looked at you, again, I see a swelling right here in this, this right there where my finger is. Young man, I want you to put your finger right there and feel that, feel that lump on the neck. You feel it got your hand right on it, right? Just just hold it there because you're gonna feel it go away. So you can shout. Father in the name of Jesus, heal this neck. Now tell me where we're at. It's so bad.  Yeah, you feel it.  Yeah, go ahead. Turn your head this way. Yeah, the other way too. Look up, look down, look all around. Go ahead and praise him. It's done in Jesus' name. Somebody shout, somebody praise him. Glory. Ah, hallelujah. There's somebody stuffing with your right, with your right ankle. Swelling comes in your right ankle. I'm seeing it in the Spirit. Yeah, come here quickly. Hallelujah. Thank God. How long have you been doing that? I see the cause of it. I'm looking straight at it just like looking through X or it wouldn't be any planer to me than what I see. There's tendon problems, there's a bruised tendon. And sometimes it's get really, really painful. And that swelling comes in, oh, praise God. Hold his hand, because I don't want him to fall. And I want you to put that, give me that foot. I can see that swelling right in this area here. That's where it comes right here. It's a little tender to my touch too.  In the name of Jesus, hey! Ha, ha, ha. The swelling's gone.  Think of that. Lord, ha la la robosha. Totally completely, ha, ha. Now, just drop it. In the name of Jesus, take off and run, son. Run, run, run. Lord, come on, run.  Hallelujah. Somebody praise the Lord. Ha, shah robosha, ta. There's a man. You injured your back, you reached your, I see you pulling on something heavy. And your back snapped.  You're just pulling, you're right. My, my. You're right here. Let me put my hand on the problem. It's a fifth vertebrae up. Right in here in this area. Have a lot of trouble with it. Sometimes at night it pains you. You in the night? Yeah. The same thing that doctors say, you make a 50, 50. And because half are both sides. When you're working, a half sit down like half, and 50, 50. I see, you know. Okay. That's all gonna change. Amen. He knows it already. Glory. I thank you, Lord, father in Jesus' name. All I had to say was Jesus' name. Amen. A big swelly, a big swelly right there. A swelly goes down. Amen. Bend over, bend over. Straighten up. Turn around. Just have a little bit. Glory. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Where'd it go? Yeah. You take off and run. You can do it. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Go ahead. Leap for Jesus. Leap. Hey, hey, hey. Yeah. Hey, in Jesus' name. I actually have like 10 years, they have back problem. And now, I'm receiving the healing. In Jesus' name. Yeah. That's done. In Jesus' name. Somebody's suffering with deafness in your right ear. I'll get to you in just a moment. I have to get this as the Holy Ghost calls it. Suffering deafness in your right ear. You don't hear so good out of your right ear. Yeah. All right, just get in line right here. Let me take care of this. What was your problem? Your back. Back problem. Uh-huh. You know what caused it? Yes. I pulled something and I just had a snap. Just like I saw. And when I saw the doctor, that was about seven years ago. Seven years. You've been suffering for seven years with that. Yes. And what does the doctors tell you about it? They gave me a painkiller. They said I pulled my muscle in the back, which is joined to the spinal cord. I know you know God's gonna do it. That's why you're standing here. Yes. After seven years, that's long enough to suffer, isn't it? Amen. Just turn around for a minute. I just have to obey the Spirit. The Spirit told me to whip that thing. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. Jesus. After seven years, go ahead and find the pain now. Yeah. Lord. Yeah. Go ahead and praise Him. Yeah. Glory. Somebody give God a hand. That's done. Jesus' name. Say amen. Amen. Say amen over here. Amen. Glory. See what's wrong here. Trouble in year. The right one. The right one. He say have it like 22 years. And then I try with the doctor and they say there is nothing. So I don't know if the doctor, because this one is OK. And this one, half problem. So we try, we try. And then now I give up for a doctor to find the way. OK, turn around. Look at that clock up there. Father in the name of Jesus. There was an infection in the eardrum. And when I put my finger in there, I felt the Spirit of God move by my finger and put in a brand new eardrum. So when I move my finger, you're going to hear perfectly out of that right ear. In the name of Jesus, I praise you. Now close up that ear. Loud when I say in your ear, you say out loud. Say thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Lord. Hail. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Thank you. Thank you, Lord. Go ahead and praise it. God is in. Hallelujah. Who else had trouble in the ear? God bless you. What happened to your ear? I got an ear infection from 2005. And then I make a surgery two times. And then, like last month ago, I feel my ear is broke again. I need another surgery. And I said, I'm not going to make another surgery. I'm just going to decide to trust in God in His healing. So the doctors really can't do anything for it. But Dr. Jesus can. If God gave him a new ear drum, I'm going to give you one. You will. Turn around and let me see. The ear is healed. But I want to ask you about something else. The Lord showed me you're suffering with a broken heart. Very disappointed. Yeah. See this little thing called love? I wish I had about six months to come and just. I'd like to come. I really like to come here for six months sometime and just teach. God said to tell you, this is so important. Listen, pain and suffering is inevitable. Misery is optional. Let me say it again. Pain and suffering is inevitable. You're going to have some pain. You're going to have some suffering. But misery is optional. When you have pain and suffering, you say, I don't know how God's going to do it, but He's going to do something. He's healed the ear. And God's going to heal your heart, honey. He's got something special for you. See, God knows who. God knows how. God knows where. God knows when. Somebody shout, amen. And I thank you, Lord, for healing the totally injurious name. Let's test the ear.  Say thank you, Lord. Say it. Praise you. Hallelujah, hallelujah. Glory.  No, it's hard to hear sometimes. Ringing. Thank you, Lord, for removing it. That's done. I can feel God doing that.  I see some rebelliousness in some children. They're rebelling against righteousness, and you've cried, and you've prayed, and you've asked God. I got good news. God's heard your prayer. God's heard your prayer. They're coming home, honey. They're coming home. Hallelujah. Amen, go ahead and praise Him. Go ahead. Thank you, Jesus. Rejoice with them that rejoice. Glory to God. God out of both shock, both high sigh. How long have you suffered with that ear problem? Both ears. Both ears. Is this one of the worst? Yes. All right, let me turn around this way. Lord, I thank you for praying. Boy, you folks got faith around here. I just started to pray and God healed that ear. Can you hear that? Close up that ear. Let's close up this one. Say thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. For a brand new ear. For a brand new ear. Thank you, Jesus. Thank you, Jesus. I call it a both sigh. Hey, yeah. In Jesus' name, I praise you for it. You got faith. Go ahead. It's done, my brother. It's done. There's, I see at least four families. I see this in the spirit. You have relatives, loved ones, in trouble with the law. And God just spoke to me, said, I'm going to deliver them and save them. If you've got a relative, a son, daughter, or a relative in trouble with the law, and you've got a case pending. I mean, the case some of them are coming up before the judge. Would you just stand to your feet? Because I felt that in the spirit. I see some hands raised here. Come here. Come here, darling. Yes. Come here, sir. I saw at least four families. How many believe the Holy Ghost could show you these things? Well, he's doing it. Amen. There's a couple more that should be here real quick. Amen. If you want deliverance for us, OK. Right over here. Yes, my dear brother. Come here. I call Borea shatah. Hashemah. Yeah, OK. That's good. That's it. Just lift your hands right now. Father, in the name of Jesus, in that very hour, put it in the mouth of the judge. Save the soul. And then, Father, liberate them in Jesus' name by the unction of fire and the power of the Holy Ghost. Let them be set free in Jesus' name, free, free, free, free, free in Jesus' name, free. Now lift your hands and thank God for doing it. Lord, I put my hand on this photograph right now in Jesus' name. Praise Him. Wow, shatah. Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Somebody praise God with Him. Praise God with Him. Glory, glory, glory. Everybody stand with me for a moment. I shabah katah basatah. One of the things that God has instructed me is to impart everything that is in me to you. In the service in the morning, we're going to have an impartation service. It's going to be a powerful service. But I feel right now somebody, oh, Lord, I see this so plain. You had a ministry, a good ministry, and the devil intervened somehow.  Just lift your hand because I'm going to pray right from where I'm standing. You had a ministry, and the devil's cheated you out of it. Just lift your hand if I'm talking to you real quick. Father, in the name of Jesus, restore that ministry. Restore it. Restore that ministry. In Jesus' name, amen.  Jesus' name, in Jesus' name. Ha, ha, ha. All right, you may be seated. God bless you. It's a scripture that tells us this. If we praise Him with our whole heart, He said, you will seek for Him, and you will find me when you seek me with your whole heart. I feel like the Spirit and the glory of God is going to move in this place if we will seek Him with our whole heart. If you will lift both hands right now, everybody just lift both hands. Lift them up high. And I want you to praise Him now with your whole heart. God said He's going to do some changing in your family. Father, in the name of Jesus, let's praise Him with a loud voice. Come on. Praise Him, praise Him, praise Him, praise Him. In the name of Jesus, right now. Ha, ha, glory to God. Lord, I praise you. Lord, I praise you. Lord, I thank you in Jesus' name. With the glory and the power and the luxury of the Holy Ghost. In Jesus' name, right now, Lord, move with your power. In Jesus' name, Jesus' name, hallelujah. Glory to God. Lord, I praise you. I praise you. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Thank you, Lord. Listen close to what I want to tell you because it's going to bless you. It's red mantle. I've started, been using it now for over 50 years. I've worn out several mantles. But in the same way that God uses sticks and stones and dead men's bones, he uses water, he uses oil, he uses a spoken word. How many believe God can use anything committed to His hands? The first person I ever laid this man alone was a young lady named Pat Taylor. Pat Taylor was born with a condition that left her bent halfway over this way. Her husband's name was Joe, they came to the service. Doctors had operated on her five different times trying to help her straighten up and nothing happened. She had a crutch under each arm. And here's the way faith works. As she stood before me, the devil said, what's going to happen when you put the mantle on her and nothing happens? I said, devil, what are you going to do when I put the mantle on her? She straightens up and runs. That's what faith is, amen.  But she straightened up and Pat Taylor run around that big temple. Now, her husband Joe was so moved by the spirit, he was an unbeliever, he came to order, got saved. Some 20 years after that, Pat Taylor showed up at my house when they still straight, still praising God.  How many want it? Let me see your hand. And what I'm going to ask God to do when I put this mantle on you is not just to heal your body. I'm going to ask God to give you a new vision. See, just above you, I got to tell you this, I saw him by the ladder mirror today, I said, I told a story when I went to Scone the first time, I said it might bear repeating. In the great state of Colorado, there was a Christian family and the young lad got into the Air Force and there was a small Air Force base right next to a river called Snake River. And the reason they called it Snake River was because every kind of conceivable snake you can imagine was in that river. He flew a small jet airplane along with several other pilots that was there. When the sirens would blow, they'd run, jump in that airplane, take off and meet the enemy to keep them from destroying that air base because it was in a strategic place in the DMZ zone. And one day the sirens blew and this young Christian pilot ran to get in his airplane and laying right there by his airplane was a boy constrictor. He said it looked like it was as long as his little jet airplane. And he said, I said to that snake, I don't have time to fool with you now. I gotta go, he jumped over the snake, jumped in the cockpit and he took off. But as soon as he got airborne, he tried to retract his landing gear and the landing gear would not retract. And he said that snake has wound itself up inside of the landing gear and if they can't retract the landing gear it will impede their speed. You have to raise the wheels before the speed can pick up. And he said, I'm gonna be in trouble if something don't happen. And he made a statement. He said, God help me now. Some of you here tonight, you don't need a miracle tomorrow, you need it now. He said, God help me now, hallelujah. And when he said that, his mind went back to when he was 12 years old, his dad had him in the woods. And his dad said to him, son, what do you see? He said, dad, I see trees everywhere. Colorado has some high mountains. He said, look up on top of the mountain. He said, dad, there's no trees up there, real high. He said, you know why? He said, no dad, I don't know why. He said, because trees have to have oxygen to live and that's so high up, no trees will grow because trees have to have oxygen to live. The air is too thin. He said, the old timers now called it the snake line. He said, the reason they called it the snake line because it's so high up until the snakes can't get oxygen that high. How many are with me now? How many hear the story? So if the snakes can't breathe, they don't go that high. So he said, thank you, dad. Did he pull back on that stick and got above the snake line and the snake fell out dead? God said to me, I've got too many people living below the snake line. How many wanna hear what below the snake line is? If you're worried, frustrated, aggravated, irritated, the devil has robbed you of your joy, you're living below the snake line. If the devil's played a trick on you and for some reason your joy is gone, you're below the snake line. If there's no laughter there, there's no joy, no spirit, you're below the snake line. You may or may not know it, but worry is a sin. I can prove it by the word. Worry is a sin because worry is the exact opposite of faith. Whatsoever's not a faith is sin. Somebody say amen. Amen. How many would like to know how to get above the snake line? Raise them high. Well, here's the way you do it. I'm gonna ask our singers to come back up. The praise and worship singers, I'm gonna ask you to come back up and get ready. We're gonna have a prayer line and I'm gonna lay this mantle on every person that comes through. And when I do it, I'm gonna ask God to help you get above the snake line how many would like to wake up in the morning and never worry again about anything? Wave your hand. If you really meant it, raise both hands. Let me ask you another question. How many would like to get up in the morning and not owe anybody anything? Well, I'm gonna ask God to put money in your bank account. How many believe God can do it? Yes, sir. I got it on tape. God's put thousands and thousands of dollars in people's bank accounts, it just wasn't there. If God can put it in a fish's mouth, he can put it in your pocketbook.  Somebody's gonna leave with money that you didn't have when you came here. Father in the name of Jesus, touch every pocketbook. Touch every billfold. In thy name, put money in these bank accounts. Ha ha, call it done in the name of Jesus. Hallelujah, God. Hallelujah, God, pay off every debt in the name of Jesus right now. Hallelujah, Lord, when they look again, let there be money in that billfold, money in that bank account. Lord, when they call the bank tomorrow, let there be money that was not, ha, oh, boy, shot down by sight. Glory to God. Come on, praise God for it. He'll do it right now. Praise Him, praise Him, praise Him. Praise Him for it, praise Him, praise Him. Yeah, come on, praise Him. Amen, Lord, in Jesus' name. Yeah, yes, yes, yes. Glory, glory, glory, glory.


It has been far too long since I've done a Misty number 39 video and it's been far too long since I've checked my mail I don't receive very much mail, but I did set up a appeal box where I tell people to forward things and I Check it occasionally and when I say occasionally, I mean it's been I think two months since I've been out there I was expecting just this one thing this envelope from black box Which should have my last? Misty perk in there. We'll save this to open up last and Beside that I was expecting Maybe a postcard or two, but there's a whole stack of stuff here. Let's go through them But before we do anything else take a look here at my beautiful background towel which I bought a couple of years ago specifically to use for the the backgrounds on these Top-down videos. I Couldn't find my towel. I was ready to record this video I couldn't find it anywhere looking all my luggage and then I thought you know there's a lot of towels in this building because there's a lot of people in this building and I Better go down in the basement and check the laundry and sure enough My beautiful pristine towel had been washed and you can tell Okay, back to the show first of all let's remove the stuff that's not meant for me and the stuff that's junk mail and the stuff that's telling me to renew my PO box which I've done already and Here we have Postcards from fellow Misty's more than one. It's a Joan Crawford. This is from Joy Zay. This must be for October on November. I don't know it's been so long and another postcard this one Looking on the back of it. I didn't think much of it until Yeah, I got my postcard from the South Pole From the South Pole There it is Wow, I saw everybody else on the Misty postcard exchange list Getting these and I honestly didn't believe I was gonna get one But there it is That's really neat. I'm actually impressed with that. Okay, I've got two other things from Joy Zay and Something from Ashley Conrad in Canada Let's open these up Butterfly sticker Got these um these bulky kitchen scissors here Okay Push the button Frank. Oh and a long litter Says roused hour at the bottom I'll read that later Thank you Ashley, let's open up this Big envelope from Joy Okay, come on It's a card that says where's the booze Let's make contact with the Halloween spirit and joy. Okay, so this is for October I'll read that letter later, and I've got stickers. Oh boy my favorite Marvel and Star Wars You hit the nail on the head Joy Another thing from Joy Okay This is a wake-up soldiers report for chow spamming eggs biscuits and honey. Wow And there's another personalized letter. I'll read those later spam breakfast hit Okay And this looks like mail that's been forwarded to me. See if there's anything special Yeah, this is personal stuff stuff that I needed But I don't need to share with you. Okay And now Let's open up The big boy here Dressed to me and it is a Tom servos at Drive and this Supposedly contains all the episodes of the new season 11 It's certainly shiny. Yeah, this is cute. I Remember ordering a zip drive. I Don't remember. I don't recall choosing the Tom servo. I know I didn't as a matter of fact There it is This is a reminder to me That I have still not watched The full season 11. I'm in trouble centering this I Need to plug this in and watch the last two episodes, which are the ones I haven't watched and Record a full review of the new season. Okay, fellow misties. Thank you for the goodies And thank you Joel For mystery science theater. Good night


Great. Well, thank you. My name is Jennifer Bonert and today I'm going to be talking to you a little bit about the NCAR GIS program. In particular, I'm going to be focusing on some of our achievements over the last year that led to us winning the 2015 UCAR Outstanding Achievement Award in Education and Outreach. So GIS stands for Geographic Information Systems. And GIS is a specialized information system based on storing, analyzing, and visualizing geographically referenced data. The goal of the NCAR GIS program is to use GIS as an analytical tool in the atmospheric sciences. We're a small group. We've got Olga Wilhelmi, Kevin Sanson, Ben Domenico, and myself. We use GIS in a lot of different ways here at NCAR. Here's an example of just a couple of ways GIS is being used. It's being used to identify urban heat islands. It's being used to visualize plume dispersions, view the impacts of extreme weather, as well as view of Zika risk in the U.S. We have three main focus areas. The first is the integration of natural and social sciences. In this focus area, we develop research frameworks and spatial methods for integrating diverse data sets, both qualitative and quantitative. Our second focus area is the usability of climate data. Here we develop tools and facilitate the use of NCAR models in GIS. We also work with international organizations to improve interoperability of common atmospheric data formats. Our third focus area is capacity building. Here we offer workshops, colloquias, and training programs all that integrate scientific data and knowledge for risk assessment, decision making, and mapping. In 2015, the GIS program won the UCAR Outstanding Achievement Award in Education and Outreach. I'm going to be spending the rest of this talk talking about our accomplishments, which led to this award. So we've developed a set of online training modules. These modules are intended to bridge the gap between the atmospheric sciences and GIS. We already have over 500 registered users, and we've taught this course at both AMS and a few times here at NCAR during some workshops. We also offer a bright workshop series. Bright stands for Broadening Participation in the Interdisciplinary Geosciences, hands-on training and education. Here we conduct workshops that focus on the integration of atmospheric science and data with traditional GIS to facilitate interoperability and interdisciplinary research. We also have worked on the publication of this edited volume called Mapping and Modeling Weather and Climate in GIS. This is the first of its kind edited volume documenting use cases of how weather and climate are being used or using GIS. We also led the Atmo GIS Special Interest Group. Through working with this group, we were able to work with ESRI, the leading GIS company, in order to start reading NETCDF natively in its tools. Through this development, climate models, weather forecasts can now be brought into GIS tools and overlaid with traditional GIS data, such as infrastructure and land characteristics and socioeconomic data in order to perform more integrated research. By integrating these different datasets together, we're also able to perform more multidisciplinary research in areas such as extreme heat, drought, tropical storms, security and disease, just to name a few. In fact, now that NETCDF can be read into GIS tools, we have opened up our science to over 4 million GIS users. This includes local governments, public health, urban planners, utilities and the agricultural sector, just to name a few. We've also built some web-based applications to get climate model data into the hands of non-atmospheric users. This is a screenshot of our GIS climate change scenario portal. This portal has been live since 2005. Through this portal, users can come in and download AR4 and AR5 data as text files or shape files. This map shows where our registered users for that portal reside. We currently have over 11,000 registered users from over 200 countries. A few years ago, we also decided to develop a climate inspector. The climate inspector allows users to explore AR5 climate simulations through space and time. This is a very interactive web portal where users can click on the map and then view temporal trends for their area of interest. A few additional applications have been developed based on the climate inspector. We've developed an extreme heat climate inspector and actually NASA contacted us, asked for our code so that they could develop their own visualization tool based on the climate inspector. So with that, I would like to thank you. Please visit our website to learn more about us, play around with our climate inspector, email us at GIS support, follow us on Twitter and thank you for your time.
