Let's move on to Miguel Alaraiso, who's a PhD student at Inésman at the Universidade de Nova, and has been focusing on Portuguese interaction with the Philippines. I think we perhaps tend to forget the Portuguese, we're always interested in the Spanish, which of course is important, but we have another Iberian power, so Miguel, over to you. Thank you very much. Thank you for having me. So the idea of this paper is to frame the place of Mindanao in Portuguese sources of the 16th century. And I hope to demonstrate how the emergence of the Philippines as a hollownam while favoring the differentiation of the archipelago, that's Thierbert's name, altered the place that Mindanao occupied on Portuguese narratives, as well as consequently contemporary method geographies on Southeast Asian islands. So to those who partook in the consolidation of Spanish presence in the Philippines, either directly or indirectly, it was clear that this name expressed the formation of a new reality. For instance, Antonio de Morga not only highlighted the novelty of Filipinas, but specifically emphasized the transformative process achieved with the toponymic baptism of the islands in sucesos de las islas Filipinas. Morga sustained that the introduction of the gospel and the governance of Spain brought about a transition in the political status of the archipelago by casting away the shrouds of gentilidad and the yoke of the devil. Therefore, the Philippines were regarded as those islands that obeyed the laws of the Spanish monarch and the vinyl wall as well. So the eponymy thus acquired an aggregating quality and an inclusive potential which framed an expanding polity. The first pages of the sucesos presents the reader with the dynamic of oppositions that is crucial to understanding the identity of the islands in his work. Filipina channels a presentness that can be perceived from the confrontation between past and present. Conquest is a structural aspect in the perception and modeling of the archipelago that manifests first and foremost in holonymy. The most basic level of the archipelago's identity, its name, is thus an expression of Spanish intervention. In Morga, the nomination envisioned as a consequence of discovery and conquest assumes an actual jurisdictional value in as much as it enacts real transformations over the denominated, dash-dominated territory. The introduction of divine law and the government of Spanish monarchy was what truly marked the past and present of the islands that upon him being coined to testify to that change. So the law chases away the devil and his tyranny and gives way to the order of government and religion. In this way, Filipinas replaces a previous designation that of archipelago de San Lazarus, assuming an existence and therefore an identity that is fundamentally different where Spanish intervention is seen as the cornerstone moment, thus imposing a precise criteria of cohesion on the largely impriced archipelago that Magellan's expedition called precisely Saint Lazarus. However, in 16th century political and cultural practices, the usage of Filipinas didn't mean abandoning previous denominations. The term coexisted with other designations employed to specify the islands that are today part of the Republic of the Philippines, such as Islas del Poniente and Luzones. On the contrary, the validation of Filipinas by the political intellectual circles of the Habsburgs meant the introduction of an additional classification in the hierarchy of Spanish meta geographies, a process that demanded first and foremost the availability of the islands destined to be grouped under a new classification. In other words, the emergence of Filipinas meant distinguishing the archipelago from the islands that weren't clearly associated with it or were insufficiently bound, that is to say available, by pre-existing classifications, as was the case of Mindanao. Furthermore, this involved the reconfiguration of the holonomy practiced amongst the Habsburgs but also a challenge to geographic taxonomies on the Portuguese side. So in 1543, the coastal surveys of the Philippines conducted by the recently arrived expedition of Ruy Lopez de Villalobos went alongside the strategy of toponymic renaming of the islands comprising the Islas del Poniente based on their association to figures of royal and governmental authority within the Habsburg monarchy, thus creating a relation that was not abstract but was intentionally juridical. Sarangani was named Isla Antonia, evoking New Spain's vice-roy Antonio de Mendoza. Samar and Leyte were termed Filipina in honor of Prince Philip, future Philip II. Mindanao was re-baptized Cesaria Caroli by associating the magnitude of the island to the imperial greatness of Charles V. This logic would be challenged when the San Juanico Strait dividing the islands of Samar and Leyte was discovered that same year and seafarers began to term both islands Filipinas plural. The severance of the image of a larger Filipina created the plural roots of the Holonym that came to provide the archipelago with the inclusive identity that the crown of Castile thought. From the two islands initially referred to as Filipinas, this name started to designate the whole of the islands included in the Spanish sphere of influence as opposed to the Portuguese one. Such ongoing taxonomic alterations related to the Southeast Asian archipelago had an understandably limited echo amongst the Portuguese. Benefiting from autonomous and diversified interactions with the Philippines between the 1530s and the 1560s, the Portuguese developed their own narratives and descriptions of these islands in which Mindanao occupied a preeminent place. In fact, documentation suggests specialized interactions with different sectors of the archipelago, depending on which mercantile networks the Portuguese were involved in, talking about Luzo-Chinese connections crossing the western Filipinus seas, Luzo-Bronaian connection into the inner Visayuses, and, of course, navigations from Tarnate across the eastern Mindanao shores. So however, the diversity of interactions with the Philippines probably occurred in specialized seafaring communities who had limited interaction with unanother or an unwillingness to share hydrographic information, judging by the different rhythms of incorporation of information on islands such as Palawan and Luzon in Portuguese cartography, and by their absence from ethnogiographic sources in contrast with what happened with Mindanao. The more visible presence of Mindanao in Portuguese texts was favored by the official character of navigations maintained between Malacca and Tarnate via the north of Borneo Island from the mid-1520s on. Between 1523 and 1526, the captains of both fortresses promoted the recognition of new routes as a means to ensure better communications between themselves in case of returning Habsburg expedition. Vessels bound for Maluku had to approach the Zamboanga Peninsula and the Brazilian island named Teghima in Portuguese cartography, which had an immediate impact on cartographic representations of the region, such as an increase of toponymy in the Seleucies as well as the depiction of Zamboanga Peninsula, a geographical feature that was not included in Spanish cartography prior to Portuguese cartography of the 1530s. Some such initiatives would result in the preparation of the first sailing directions between Malacca and Tarnate via the northern Borneo coastline. Written sometime before 1550, the oldest are known to us in two texts. One was incorporated in a copy of the Duarte Barbosa around 1539 and the other inserted in the so-called Livro, the Bernard Fernandes of circa 1548. The former employed the toponym Magundanao or Magidnao, thus strained for the more common form in Portuguese documents that of Mindanao. The employment of the term Magundanao suggests close contact with the ethnolinguistic group of Magindanao and something that would imply frequent visits to the Moro Gulf. This is compatible with the nautical instructions of the sailing directions in Bernard Fernandes' book. Accordingly, pilots exiting the channel between the tip of Zamboanga Peninsula and the Brazilian should set the vessel on an east-by-east-northeast course to enter, quote, the Gulf until you see the lowlands where Mindanao harbor is, unquote. The progressive expansion of the strategic area of the fortress after Nutt also resulted in closer connections to Mindanao. It was in the 1530s, in the context of the commercial and formal relations between the captaincy of Ternate and the islands of Macaçar, that new expeditions reached Mindanao. In 1535, João da Canha Pinto journeyed to a location which Portuguese sources called Sirigal, probably Siargao, further surveying an unknown stretch of Mindanao's coast. In 1538, Francisco de Castro visited locations that appear under different forms depending on the chronicles, which likely are Sarangani, Siargao, Butuan, an unknown location that historians have been unable to pinpoint and coming in, if anyone has any ideas of what Pimilarano may be a most welcome to it. So this resulted, as with the previous expedition, in rituals of enmity as they were portrayed, involving the effusion of blood and something that was new, the alleged conversion of local chieftains to Christianity. Considering the diversity of locations visited by Castro and the favorable reception he typically received, it is likely that the Portuguese captain was inserted into a pre-existing system of alliances enforced amongst northeastern Mindanao local chieftains. These expeditions had precise effects on Portuguese cartography as well, as by around 1540 Portuguese cartographies had already abandoned the model of Mindanao inherited from the surveys of Magellan's expedition, replacing it by representations that signal the main geographic features of the island. Talking about Sibugei, Bay, Ilana Bay, Sarangani Bay, the Vowgolf, Butuan Bay, and likely Sindangam Bay. The diversity of maritime routes leading to the inner Filipino seas would not be present in sailing directions until much later. In the mid-16th century, the sailing directions copied in Bernardo Fernandez's book limits itself to pointing out the safe route between the Ponta de Mindanao or Mindanao's pit and Taghima Island. Later sailing directions would refer to the possibility of calling at a location called Caldeira or Caldeirão in English cauldron, a term that refers to a place on the sea or near the river shaped as a pit with enough depth so that the vessel might dock. This is likely the place in which the Spaniards would later decide to erect their fort La Caldeira, which appears in Spanish cartography as Cabite, and in Portuguese cartography as Cabrita, and in Spanish sexual sources as the place that the Portuguese call at when they come from Malacca and go to Maluku. The progressive improvement of Mindanao's coasts in the Portuguese cartography of the 1530s met an abrupt interruption when mapmakers in Lisbon incorporated a more recent model based on the surveys of Lopez de Villalobos's expedition. This change was contemporary to the assimilation of other coastlines and eponymy in Portuguese cartography that was also recorded at the time with the important exception of the Halaunem Filipinas. In fact, it should be noted that the captain of Ternata, Jorge de Castro, participated in an interesting jurisdictional dispute with Roelopos de Villalobos against his claim to be captain-general of the islands and provinces of the west, Islas and Provincias del Poniente. Castro presented himself as captain-general of the islands of Maluku, a Halaunem that he had elucidated a few months before by referring to its composing units. In the battle between meta-geographies, Jorge de Castro tried to bind the easternmost Southeast Asian archipelagos within the Halaunem Maluku significantly, the one that was used during the Saragossa negotiations of 1529 between the crowns of Portugal and Castile. According to the ensuing arrangement, the vessels of the Emperor Charles V were prohibited from engaging in navigation, communication and commerce to the west of a meridian located 297 and a half leagues east of Maluku. When responding to Villalobos's claim that he was under orders not to go to Maluku, Castro replied that his adversary couldn't be anywhere in this archipelago because all of it is named Maluku. Castro's Halaunem to which Mindanao was bound was precise because ultimately ending disputes between Portuguese and Spaniards should be considered against the terms of the Treaty of Saragossa. The placement of Mindanao inside an archipelago called Maluku was therefore instrumental and directed towards the formal defense of jurisdictional rights in a quarrel that, due to its diplomatic nature, could never be solved by the two captains. The delimitation operated by the tactical and political Halaunem of Jorge de Castro, however, didn't reflect the actual Portuguese perception of the islands and their populations nor its taxonomic order. In 1561, Gabriel Ribeiro, who was a factor of Ternata, proposed a division into five archipelagos, Maluku, Papua, Moro, Celebes and Ambuena. I would like to draw attention to the one named Celebes. This description of the Celebes archipelago that you can see here betrays the point of view of a Ternata resident. In fact, the description may be divided into three groups. On the one hand, the great Celebes island, or Sulawesi, whose natural and human features supply most of the narrative on the archipelago. Secondly, the islands of Masagua, Orlimasawa, Cebu, and Maktan, locations tied to the memory of Magellan's expedition, but at the same time dissociated from the historical memory of the fortress of Ternata in extant sources. In third place, Sulu and Mindanao territory is visited in the context of official communications between Malacca and Ternata, and of navigations originating in the latter. The Celebes archipelago incorporates, therefore, three different nautical experiences, which suggests a connection between Halanami and the individual islands based on criteria of geographical proximity, as well as common history. For instance, the expeditions of the 1530s occurred during times of diffusion of rumors and notices in Ternata about both Sulawesi and Mindanao. So if we consider that the Jesuits that visited Sulawesi in the 1560s, their understanding of Celebes didn't go beyond Kulaos and Ghia, it is possible that the toponym worked as a functioning analog to that of Filipinas by incorporating available islands in order to form a taxonomic classification that had Ternata as its center. This may explain the silence surrounding the Islamic sultanates of Sulu and Mindanao and the generic reference of the author to the territorial projection of Brunei, Ternat and Tidor, pointing to a very limited or specialized interaction of the Portuguese with the Sulawesi and Morogolf regions. That same logic of classifying archipelagos as strategic horizons of the Ternata fortress could explain why Mindanao appears in another pot of rebellious work as an individual island serving as the reference for the northern limits of the archipelago of Maluku. He says that beyond Mindanao, everything is Maluku. So Robilu's model enjoyed diffusion even after his death. We find it replicated in the works of Portuguese chronicler Diogo Ducuto, but also of Antonio de Herrera and Tordesillas on the Spanish side. In 1601, when his Historia was printed, Filipinas was already a halonym with an undeniable projection in the Iberian political context of Southeast Asia. The reference to an ample Salibis archipelago, probably by then had an out-of-place feel to it, just like the name of St. Lazarus in Morga's book would a few years after. However, the use of Robilu's taxonomy denotes that same logic of opposites, the transformative character of Filipinas. In this transition with the creation of a governmental axis to the north of the archipelago, Mindanao lost much of the specificity that it had in Portuguese cartography and in historical and ethnographic texts. The reconfiguration of meta geographies changed the character of Mindanao as the last frontier of Maluku archipelago when the link to the order in the center of Tarnat was severed. As it became integrated into the hegemonic and expensive halonym that was Filipinas, Mindanao transitioned to become yet another frontier, the southernmost limit of the new political configuration then under consolidation. Thank you very much. Thank you very much and again for keeping to time. So again, whilst we're changing PowerPoints, that great modern ritual, does anybody want to ask any questions on the Portuguese? The power of naming is quite striking, isn't it? Yes, quickly from Elsa? From the 16th and the 1970s, if you want, I can stand it. All right, yes. Good, because sort of ways is incredibly ethnographically complicated.


The message I titled three-legged chair even though on the picture here is looks like four one is missing or something That's not what I quite had in mind, but you'll get the point Something let's let's do some something like this Three legs right here I'll just keep it here just for a second. So we get we get the point what I'm going to be about to talk about Let's open to Ecclesiastes chapter 4 verse 12. This is going to be our verse for the night and It says this a person standing alone can be attacked and defeated But two can stand back to back and conquer three even better at triple braided cord is not easily broken Say triple braided cord Not easily broken what the scripture is saying is that You have to have three components in your life For you to be stable you need to have you to be surrounded By people in your life for you to have a stable life for you to be victorious for example this This stand right here or imagine a chair three-legged chair It can't function Without one or the other if you take this leg it will fall this way if you take this leg It'll fall that way if you take this leg it will fall this way. So all three legs are necessary For stability and success for something to rest upon it for you to rest on the three-legged chairs You have to have the three components to it right three legs So this month you'll see what I'm going to but this month is is month of February and This is a month of love and so usually and now in a month of February we like to as a church We like to go through a relationship series to kind of remind ourselves and to guide ourselves and guide our relationships To be better. How many you guys want to have a better relationships? Or about half of you and the rest of you either have a great relationships or you don't desire great relationship Okay, I hope all of you desire to have a great relationship or maybe perhaps you're single you say I don't care That's that's an option as well So today I want to talk about three legs of a successful relationship and those of you that were at a Valentine's banquet. I I'm gonna kind of repeat few things and add a few more But there in order for our relationship to prosper in order for our relationship to succeed. I believe that these three components are Extremely important and one doesn't function without the other. So what are they I? believe the first and most important Component for you to prosper in your life for you to prosper in your Relationships is you have to have a master. I'm gonna introduce to you three m's. It's simple master mentor and Maturity, let's talk about the first point mentor master, please Yes, thank you see and we live in this world and There is no gray areas.  Nobody teaches them anything bad, but yet somehow They discover those things on their own they're naturally drawn It simply shows that our nature is corrupt our nature is enslaved to sin So today your life can be either under the Under under the influence of unclean spirit. It can be ruled by an unclean spirit or it can be guided by the Holy Spirit there is no middle ground and I believe number one component for a successful relationship for a successful life is to have a Master is to have Jesus as your Lord and Savior and not you know Like this gentleman that we just saw the testimony used to be a baseball baseball player and he he said he committed his life to Jesus He prayed as soon as spread age of 16, but in reality Jesus was not the master of his life Jesus was not the Lord of his life. He did whatever he wanted just because you come to church And you like the positive atmosphere if you like the friends around that doesn't mean That Jesus is your Lord and Savior doesn't mean that Jesus is the master of your life You can live for yourself, but in reality you never real for you. You never live for yourself You are enslaved to your flesh, which is controlled and influenced by Demand by Satan by demons by unclean spirits. There was a story that helped me to understand this when I was very young by my Sunday school teacher That was maybe about 13 or 12 when she said the story and made me really understand and she began to explain Back in the history when there used to be slaves and they used to buy slaves and sell slaves There was this gentleman they came to the market to buy a slave and he bought this slave Then the slave previous slave owner brought that slave out to him and changed He took him and they started walking out of the marketplace where they were selling slaves And when he turned around and asked to the slave, what is your name the slave spit in his face and said I hate you and and and so then The new master he unshuckled he didn't he wiped his spit away He didn't respond in anger or anything. He wiped the spit away. He unshuckled his chains He dug into his purse He gave him the papers of freedom and said you're free to go So the slave was baffled He was he was expected to be slapped and beaten for what he just did like he was with his previous owners He was confused at first. He was looking. He was lost for words Then he grabbed his papers and just took off running and As it was running running and then he slowed down slowed down and stopped looked at the papers and Walked back to the master that just purchased him Gave him the papers and said I will serve you for the rest of my life and He said why would you do that? He's like I just bought you. You're free to go You don't have to do it. He's like if you're willing to give me my freedom I'm why I know you're gonna be a good master. You could serve and I'll willing to serve you see that He understood he's a black man Back those days, you know the slavery. He said he understood that a chances of him getting caught and getting enslaved again It's pretty high and who knows what kind of master is gonna be how who what kind of master? He's gonna have the next next time around But if this person bought his life with his own money did not require of him anything and release them to freedom It was worth serving such a man knowing that this man will always take good care of him so in our lives when we In order for our lives and our relationships to be successful, we have to have a master We have to have a person and see our master Jesus Christ. He died for us. He died for our good He died for our blessed. He died to break the curse of our life And he is not the kind of a master that will rule that will dominate that will enslave and that will make You do things that you don't want to do See only unclean spirits their rule and dominate Holy Spirit. He guides he helps he He helps us to get to a blessed life to have a blessed marriage blessed relationships to be blessed in every area of our life so Lake number one of successful life and successful relationship is you have to submit yourself to a master a Master that will love you. They will take care of you.  We as human beings. We're not capable of producing love on our own We are dependent on God who created us and since he is the source of love Unless we have a relationship with him unless we have a continuous fellowship with him unless we spend every morning with him So that we can draw love from him Then we won't be able to give any love So if you want to have a successful relationship, you have to have fellowship with God You have to have a real genuine relationship with God so that you can draw from him so that you can give To your spouse and to the people around you Married couples that pray together. They stay together There's this there's a study that's been done by state of the you state of our union in 2011 it said that the rate of satisfaction and marriage is higher for Husbands and wives when they both regularly maintain religious religious attendance and feel that God is in the center of their marriage if you want to have a success if you if you want your marriage to rest and Not be broken Your first and primary leg has to that you have to have a master say master If you're single and you're looking to mingle and you're getting ready to get married or you're looking for a spouse Bible clearly calls us and tells us that we should not be unequally yoked. What does that mean? That means that you can't be in relationship with the person Who doesn't share your faith? Because that relationship is missing that leg is Missing the leg of a master that means Jesus is not the center of it Whatever excuses you can make what he's a good person. He doesn't do this. She doesn't do that You know, she has a great character. She got great looks whatever the reason is if Jesus is not her master Your relationship is doomed to fail and so First leg our successful relationship is to have a master second leg of of a relationship is To have mentors Mentor there are only two sources of learning in life. It's either mistakes or it's mentors Mentors are less expensive expense Mistakes are way too costly if you get into a relationship that is You know being guided either by by bad advice or Figuring in relationship Against advice of your parents against advice of your pastor your home group leader, you know things that are done You go on into a relationship that you shouldn't be in or maybe it's not your time or maybe just things that there are many red flags And then you make that mistake That mistake of eventually you have to pay for the mistake with time which you can't take back But that then five years later Johnny is already married and has three kids with somebody else and you still crying over him The mistakes that you've made that person ready to move down when somebody else is not even thinking about you But you're still holding a grudge and you still can't get over it person Maybe did some certain things mistreated you Be unfaithful and you used to carry the scars eventually for years and years to come and The other person moves on and you don't even know mistakes are too costly mentors are cheaper Choose to be mentored in your life choose to involve mentors in your Relationships you always have mentors in your life. It depends what kind you have Bible says that bad company corrupts good morals Bible spoke that thousands and thousands of years ago. Let me tell you something that Dr. Rose McDermott of Brown University in Rhode Island said He said a person tendencies to divorce depends not just on a friend's divorce status But also extend to his friends friends The full network shows the participants are 75% more likely to divorce if a person That they directly connected to is divorced the size is affected to your people of the second degree of separation For example, the friend of a friend is divorced Then you have a 33% chances to get divorced and only the third generation third degree of friends of friends of friends that they have no effect so the The doctor from the University confirms what the Bible said thousands of years ago that if you're surrounded by company The statistics says that if you if you are as a married person You have friends that are single and you call and you are And you are confined in them. You're more likely to get divorced because they'll give you advice as a single person So you have to surround yourself Surround yourself by the right kind of people you have to surround yourself by right kind of mentors You have to allow people to speak into your life and the way you allow people to speak into your life is By coming to church regularly Attending listening to advice to the to the message to the truth that's been speaking Committing yourself to the mentorship in your home groups to your leaders when you are ready to enter into a relationship Get people involved get pastors involved get your leaders involved ask for advice Be transparent be open to them so that they can guide you in this area And now you know in our church now It's popular to say I have a mentor and it's a good thing But a lot of times what I mean is like I have a home group leader, but I don't Me and him we know we don't connect or me and her we don't connect You know, it just became a cool thing to say I have a mentor to having a mentor doesn't help you it's actually receiving and following the advice that will help you to Stabilize your life and to have receive a blessing in your life In a good news About marriage by Shanti folden. She said the couples that are committed to church Committed to church and attend regularly are two or three times less likely to get divorced less than 50% 15% depending if it was their first second or third marriage And we know that the statistic in us that over half of the marriages end up in divorce So if you want to have a life of blessing in your relationships if you want to have a life of blessing in your In in every area of your life you have to have people you have to have mentors in your life that can mentor you don't come to the mentor and Get them up to date what you are doing Instead of asking for an advice Sometimes people come to me and say well Here's what I did this and this and this what do you think about it? Well, what do you care?  What do you want me to say like what do you want me to? What else do you want me to say?  They don't challenge you to mature. They don't challenge you to to Spend more time with God. They don't challenge you to be more patient more loving more kind be with people That surround yourself with people that you want to be like Because just like a bad company corrupts good morals a good company Will help you to grow will help you to become a better person And will help you to reach the goal and the destiny that you want to achieve amen say master Say mentor 13 or before we go to the 13 Satan's goal is to separate you is to Isolate you from godly advice and A lot of times what happens is people get into a relationship or they they get into dating and they know that The pastor might not approve or the parents might not approve or the leader might not approve and so what? What what automatically they do this begin to they begin to withdraw themselves They begin to isolate themselves because they know that there is a chance that they might say no There's a chance that might correct them. There's a chance that might tell them to do things that they don't like and It works well in Satan's strategy the moment he can isolate you it is so much easier for him to defeat you Do not ever allow yourself in any situation to be isolated Isolation brings anxiety depression loneliness isolation breath breath Resentment and these are all the things That Satan is trying to put into our life to poison us and then to destroy our life Don't wait until things get so bad That you can't bear it anymore the moment you see things are going south Begin to ask for advice begin to open yourself up begin to ask people Those people so they can speak into your life to give you guidance and give you direction and Third leg of a successful relationship is maturity What is maturity? Maturity is to live by choices not by feelings Maturity is to be big enough To fit the other person's mistake See there is no problem too big to solve There is just people that are too small to handle it Any problem in marriage in relationships is solvable even the problem of unfaithfulness is solvable There is a solution with God. There's nothing that cannot be repaired and cannot be restored Every problem regardless how big they are how big it is it can be solved The problem is that the people are not mature enough people are too small Their hearts are too small to be able to fit other's person mistake and be able to handle it the way God calls us to handle mistakes and forgive and move on Maturity is being able to say sorry even when it's not your fault Maturity is being able to see beyond the physical and see the spiritual root of things This is probably the biggest thing you can mature in as a Christian You have to understand that we live in a spiritual world where there is Holy Spirit that brings joy peace love that brings Kindness goodness faithfulness gentleness self-control and there is Unclean spirits. There is demonic spirits that bring depression anxiety that bring lack of control that bring Unfaithfulness that that bring roughness and anger and so when things begin to when things begin to Get rocky in relationships. It takes a mature person To stop and instead of fighting the other person instead of fighting an issue instead of fighting the fruits Begin to see the spiritual aspect begin to see that that that behind this fight because behind this anger Behind this depression behind this anxiety There's an evil spirit and needs to dealt it needs to be dealt spirits It needs to be renounced and cast out and then they can come the Holy Spirit who can bring love joy peace harmony and Restoration it takes a mature person to be able to see beyond the physical and see into spiritual See maturity doesn't come doesn't always come with age. Sometimes age travels by itself and so when Maturity is a choices that you make It's not the age that you attain some people say, well, I'm just gonna wait till I'm 30 to get married You know so that I can be more mature. No maturity starts now Maturity starts making decisions run now maturity starts not when you're 30 is when you begin to take responsibilities for your actions and follow through on the words that you say say master mentor Maturity these are the three legs that your relationship can succeed on if you're single and You're looking for a person. You're looking to get married. You're looking for that the one this couple things of advice When you look for the other person look not at how much they make Look how mature they are Always choose maturity over money because maturity will get you money eventually, but money never brings maturity Look at how they're treating their siblings and look how their relationship is with their parents This will give you will give you very good indication of how they will treat you when you get married to them This will show you how mature they are Another trade to look at how do they treat people that are below them? That will show you the kind of character. They have see if they're committed to church. They're committed to God Don't make excuses for them being inconsistent With church attendance and their relationship with God If they say well, I'm too busy Well, you are in control of your own time and you make your own schedule You make room for what's important to you and if you can't make room for relationship with God if you can't make room for Two hours a week or four hours a week to come and spend time in fellowship spend time in the proper atmosphere If you can't make room to spend time with God Then it's not the person for you How can you trust your life into that person's hand if they can't if you don't know what hand what what What hands their life is in so these three things that You know, I've been married for I've been married for nine years now and going on ten and You know, I these these three lessons that I I've seen in my life How they helped me and I've seen how I when I removed one of these legs or lost one of these legs how they really Brought my life down and I want to tell you that is that if you have a strong relationship with God If you have a strong relationship with God it will always help your relationship because I you can ask my wife that she receives the most nicest text messages from me and Most sincere apologies when I messed up that usually happens After the time I spend with God and God convicts me and say, you know, you go You better go make it things right with her before you come and talk to me And apostle Paul says that in the scripture says that that to have a good relationship with our wife So that our relationship with God will not be hindered Because if we can't Bible says if you can't love your neighbor that you see how can you claim to love God that you don't see and so When you have a relationship with God when God is the center of your relationship of your marriage If you're looking for a person and you're looking for the other person that they have a God is a center of the life I tell you that you will not lose in your life. You will not Lose in your relationship even with when when when hard times will come When there is when God is a foundation of your life. There is nothing that can be fixed and When you have mentors Allow them to speak into your life.  Some people say well, I don't need anybody You know God speaks to me Well, if you look through the Bible and how God spoke to people most of the time God spoke to people through prophets pastors leaders and mentors and If you don't learn how to submit yourself to the pastor leader mentor your parent God will not speak to you I can get you a hundred percent Because first you have to show humility and respect for the authority that God said before God begins to speak To you directly Submit yourself to mentorship and make a choice today Regardless of the age you are at regardless if you're married or single it's never too late to start growing up to start Matureing to start living by the choices not by the feelings to start living according To the word of God in Jesus name This is what it takes to be successful in life in every area.

Let's get


We interrupt this broadcast to warn people to be on the lookout for the notorious hitman, Nicholas Stein. He was last seen at the parking lot outside of the Walmart on 20th 30th Street, where he killed three middle-aged men. Some details about Stein's appearance include his height being around 5'7", his outfit being all black, clothing that's covered in blood, and his weapon of choice being a knife. Thank you for calling BoxAndThink.com's customer service link. My name is Lance, and what can I do for you this evening? Hey Lance, it's Nick. Oh hi Nick. Call me to make another return? Yes, I'd like to make a return. Let me guess, are you returning the knife? Yeah, I have to clear all the evidence as soon as possible.  Yep, you know me. Nick the jokester. Hey Nick. What are the price tags for these things? Nick. What is it? Can I ask you something? Make you quick. So you and I have been friends for a while? I wouldn't say friends, but continue. And I know you're a very busy butcher, but I was wondering if maybe you and I could hang out sometime? You, you're available Thursday? No. Uh, how about Friday? Not this Friday, not next Friday, and not ever. Why not? You've been calling me to make returns for almost a year. I think it's time that we meet in person.  A life that you do not want to get involved with. Look, I have other things to do than just return some knives. But Nick, you don't understand. Understand what? That because I make a lot of returns to this website, that means we're automatically friends? Do you think I actually mean something to you? But it's more than just that. No there isn't, face it Lance. We're not friends, we never were, and we never will be. I don't need you or your compliments, so will you stop wasting my time and make my return? I understand. I'm sorry for wasting your time. Thank you, I was wondering if... With your hands! What was that? Nothing, just my neighbors being loud. Come out, before we force ourselves in! I have to hide. Are you okay Nick? My loud neighbor just broke into my house. Oh no, should I call the police? No, no, it's fine. He does this all the time when he's drunk. He'll probably leave in a minute or two. But now I have some time to spare. So, I guess you can tell me what you were going to say. Really? Oh thank you Nick. What I was going to say is that I wanted to thank you for having an impact on my life. In what way?  Just a couple months after I graduated high school, my parents died in a horrific car accident. No one wanted to be my friend, and I had no other siblings for contact with anyone else in my family. I was on my own. I had to get this dead-end job just for myself during freshman year of college. I ended up getting kicked out for flunking most of my classes. With failing college and having no friends or family by my side, life was pretty grim for me. That was until the day you called. You were the first person I ever had a conversation with after my parents died. With your constant turns and calling my car with a steamer service line, I finally had someone to talk to. Someone that I considered a friend. Do you really mean that?  You're the greatest and only friend I ever had. Wow. I really mean something to someone. I'm important. My life isn't meaningless. You're free to go. By the name of Lance Miller. In fact, he fully paid the $75,000 bill amount. There's some forms you have to sign and you'll be ready to re-enter society. That's what it is. Lance. The one and only. I can't believe it. How'd you do it? Well, while you're incarcerated, I found out I had a grandmother. And she lent me $75,000. So, I decided to use that to bail you out. Wow, you didn't have to. That's what friends are for. They help each other out through tough times. Well, now since I'm out of prison, do you maybe want to hang out? No, you know me so well.


Amitav, nice Amitav, I was waiting for you to reply, well I live in the West Bank for my whole life and the only problem has been always terrorism, when there is nothing bad happening they Palestinians at our lands and we buy at their shops as soon as Hamas or any other terrorist group start, we react and because we have an army that easy to make it look bad. No, Amitav, you live in the West Bank, you live in on stolen land like literally the United Nations, the world has agreed that settlements in the West Bank, Israeli settlements in the West Bank are illegal. I know you've lived in the West Bank your whole life which is problematic because Zionists for decades have not abided by international law and they built the settlements there and there are people that are born there now, right? So they created a problem specifically for this purpose to use you as cannon fodder to go kill Palestinians. Why?  I know it's a difficult thing to wrap your head around because this is nothing on you, right? You were born into this quagmire and this quagmire was created by the Zionist agenda. What is the Zionist agenda? They want to take over the great Levant, right? It doesn't make it right. It doesn't make it right. And how can you take land from someone if you bought it? What bought it?  Right now in Canada, check this out, amite, when you say, and this is a perfect thing you brought up, and how can you take land from someone if you bought it? Check this out. Right now in Canada, Jewish organizations are selling land in Gaza. They're selling land in Gaza. They don't own the land. They don't own the land, but they're selling Palestinian land in Gaza because they know what the agenda is, because the Zionist government, the Zionist agenda is to expel people from the land and say there's nobody living there and nobody's living there. Israel owns it, controls it, so they sell it, and Canadians, Canadian Jews right now, are buying land in Gaza. And there's an incident where an Arab Canadian wanted to go to this sale to be able to buy one of the pieces of land in Gaza. They didn't allow him to go in there because he wasn't Jewish. So you bought the land, your ancestors bought the land, but what were the conditions set in place for your ancestors to buy the land? Were the Palestinians expelled and the government comes out and says, oh, nobody's living here, so we're going to put it up for auction, and only people that can buy that land are Jews? Look in your history.  Amite, they don't pay taxes and actually my tax money is going to them.  Amite, look into the history. Look, Norman Finkelstein. Can someone type the right spelling for Norman Finkelstein? Here's four Jews. Four Jews you should read. Gideon Levy, Norman Finkelstein, Max Blumenthal, Aaron Matei. I'll give you five Jews. Gabor Matei as well, Aaron Matei's father. Okay, five Jews. Read five Jews. Okay. Okay, thank you. Fire. Okay, I work with them. I know. Do you know I live here, bro? Dude, you live in a bubble, right? There is a theory in mathematics. Okay, the incompleteness theory. Check this out. This applies to anyone that's living in a totalitarian nation where information is controlled, where censorship is up the yin and yang, where you don't know your own history, right? There's a theory in mathematics that's called the incompleteness theorem, like incompleteness theorem, I believe, right? Where it says the system cannot, I got to use the right wording, cannot analyze itself to find out if there's anything wrong within the system, right? So a system, closed system is not complete. To be able to find out if that system has any flaws in it, you have to look at it from the outside. So you say you live in that system. Yes, you're surrounded by like-minded people indoctrinated in a centralized indoctrination center, propagandized through centralized institutions, so you think you know what's happening. I'm telling you to look at your system in the right light to really understand what's happening. You have to look at it from outside the system, right? And the five people I gave you, Gideon Levy is an Israeli journalist, lives in Israel, okay? The other four, Gabor Mate, his parents were Holocaust survivors. Norman Finkelstein, his parents were Holocaust survivors. Aaron Mate, his grandparents were Holocaust survivors.  I'm telling you, look at it from outside the system. I hope you see the light.  It's darker, we're darker than where the young Turks went when they committed genocide on our Armenians, and it's darker where the Nazis went, where they committed genocide on your ancestors and others, okay?    Literally. It's vomit inducing.    Nazis and the young Turks are rolling in their graves.  It's dark. I'm going to read your comment, Amitay. When you guys saying genocide, what do you mean? That we execute people, we systematically murder? You do more than that. You do more than that. Look into the history. Look into what's going on.


Hello everybody, Andrea Mayesca here with Dental L. Let me show you guys a couple of fun things. So I would have to say that my favorite purchase honestly, the best purchase ever, has been my new pro freedom hand piece, okay? I'm not being paid to advertise this or to talk about it, I'm just being honest. So I actually tried this for the first time when I was tempting at an office, maybe about a year ago, a year and a half ago. And, you know, when I first saw it, I was like, what the heck is this? Is this a hand piece? Do I plug it in? How does this even work? You know, I had no idea what it was. And sorry, my video just went out of focus. I should probably stop touching this so much. So I'm just gonna kind of show you guys and then I'll put it down probably and then I will show you guys more about it, okay? Because I don't want the video to go out of focus. So it was about, shoot, sorry guys. I paid for so much, I don't even remember. I think it was about $2,000 plus tax. I did order the separate real stat attachment because you can order just the cordless part of it. It's about $2,000, I believe. The real stat attachment is about $300 and something. But that was part of a kit. So I was able to get the disposable shields that just kind of goes over talk. I was able to get the separate attachments for the actual heads, which I will show you. So I just kind of put that over talk. So these came with it too. These are disposable, put it like that. Here, let me just take this off for a second. These other pieces, as it just got stuck in there, but anyways, it got stuck, that's okay. These separate pieces you would sterilize after each patient. So that's kind of what it looks like. Of course, I turned it on. I should probably turn that off because I do have, actually no, I should leave it on because I'm gonna show you guys how it works, sorry. It's the most amazing, quiet thing ever. And for me owning my portable dental hygiene practice, the less cords wires, the better, okay? It's amazing. So I'm going to turn it on for you guys. I hope you guys can kind of hear how quiet it is. Can you guys hear that? It's the most amazing thing ever. And how it works is when you push it and leave it on, it goes faster.  Leave it on, so I mean, you're not supposed to polish the tooth like this, right? But as you can hear, it goes faster. If I kind of briefly take it off my hand, it's slower, faster, slower, that kind of thing, okay? It's the most amazing thing ever. Here, I'm just gonna turn it off because I'm seeing a patient tomorrow, so I don't want it to run out of charge. There we go, see that? And they say you should charge it at the end of every day. I just charge it before I see a patient because I'm not seeing patients every day yet. That would be awesome. When I'm seeing like five patients a day, that would be so perfect. Honestly, it's the most amazing thing ever. I highly recommend it. It's so light, it's easy. The reason I bought the Rio Stat attachment was because that's what I tried when I was in that office temping and I'm so happy that I bought it because it's on back order, so I have been using it without the attachment so far and I just feel I don't have as much control over it. Like I feel like I have to push pretty hard to get it to spin, but then it's too hard so I have to take it off the tube a little bit and then it's perfect. So I just feel like I don't have as well, I don't have as much control over the speed, but with the Rio Stat, the point is you push it and you can control the speed. So I'm really excited to get that. Of course, it's on back order, but yes, that's another attachment, but you know what, it will be so worth it. Of course, it's like $300, right, for that separate attachment, but anyways, I am really excited to get that. So I do highly recommend this handpiece, absolutely the new pro freedom. I had ordered it through Patterson, so I don't think it's something that you can just call the company. You have to order it from a rep, so Patterson sells these with the Rio Stat attachment, that's what I got. You don't have to get it and even if you want to try it without first, that is okay and then get the Rio Stat attachment afterwards. That's okay too, but I did get like the full kit. It came with a lot of the disposable heads. This piece comes off so that you can sterilize. You are supposed to wipe it, obviously, but this is disposable. This you would sterilize if I can get it off. You think I'd be more careful, right? And then that's, so obviously do not sterilize that, but this piece you would sterilize. These things are expensive, so let me put it in very nicely. Highly recommend them, I freaking love them. Hygienists love them too. And just as I'm kind of showing you guys, another thing that I had to learn was the pouch sizes because as me, I am starting my own business. I kind of said, I had ordered the pouches through Maxel. I said, okay, I don't want a bunch of different sizes. I can't afford that. I just want the sizes that I need, right? So I use these for my cassettes because they fit inside and I use these for this silver attachment. It goes inside of there. Any spare instruments that I do have, I put in this pouch too. That's kind of all that I use this for so far because everything fits into the cassette pretty much. My piezo tips actually I put inside here too. So clearly I need a smaller, whoops, got something on my left there. I need a smaller pouch for that. I like the pouches because it does have an internal indicator and the, oh, sorry, I guess I should show you guys. The internal and the external indicators, okay? Plus I use a class five. I'll show you guys that because you need these. I use a class five as well, I decided to show you guys.  Can you guys see that? I think you can see it now, right? So you do need a class five as well now. I like these because you can peel them off like so and keep them in your logs for sterilizing because you need to have in your log the cycle number, the date, how many cassettes, pouches you put in per load, the temperature starting off and then ending, the time you put the load in, the time you take the load out. If it passed yes or no, obviously yes, you would assume, you would hope. You need to do a score test every day. You need to have enough instruments to let sit for 24 hours or 10 hours or less, depending on the type of score testing you have to make sure that everything has been sterilized. Oh my gosh, there's just so much to know. But that was more, I just wanted to show you guys the Nuke Pro Freedom Handpiece, okay? So I will stop the video for now and then I will talk about something in the next one. I feel like the cut on my lip is so obvious. Sorry guys, I do have a little cut here and I tried to cover it up with lipstick but it's just making it more obvious. So sorry guys, sorry if that looks kind of weird. But yeah, so all in all, I do highly recommend the Nuke Pro Freedom Handpiece. It's my best, most amazing purchase. Honestly, so far I'm so glad that I spend them, sorry that I spent the money to get it. I see everything. Highly recommended. I did get the real stat attachment but I just don't have that with me because it's on back order. No, I'm not being paid to advertise this. This is my honest opinion. So thank you guys so much for watching. I will see you in the next one.

Do you know about Montana and Idaho? This is Division 3, right? Division 2 right here, too. No, FCF, just kidding. Robert Salinas to 499. Nice one there, Justin. There's a little scuff on that. I'll send you an empty box and wrapper. Jacob Melton to 199. Blaze Jordan, Caner Delgado. Victor Estoriz. Shugo Maki to 499. Team Japan. Got to grind some more MLB with Jake at some point, too. Everett Cooper, first base autumn.  Smoked them. It's fun playing like together, yeah. Yeah, it is. I like the plus. Yeah, for the amount of boxes, yes. This is the biggest person I think I've ever ripped. Yankyo Fernandez, Almeida, and Ethan Salas. Yeah, this is the biggest one I think I've ever ripped. White Speckle, Brooks Brandon, 299, Adrian Pinto, Hans Montero.  Yeah. You can use any, all the cards, you can use them all. Yeah, no, I was really worried, dude. I was like, all right, like I had to go and buy like a decent Diamond. I'm like, all right, like, I was like, we're gonna have to pick really, we're gonna get some slim pickings here, Jake, I don't know who we can use, but now we can, plus all of Jake's guys are nasties. So we would just stick to his bullpen. Yeah, his 99 Ganyai throws that crazy bullpen.  Shimmer, Kevin Perrata, Luis Guanipa first. Yeah, Maia, I'm gonna put him back, I believe. White Speckle Auto, Dario Laverde, 2-299. There's Maia and Bass. It'll be quite the recap too, which will be fun. Trish and Casas to 150. You know what's funny, even with the amount that we're doing, it's still less than when we did the dual case of this in choice. The choice is 36 autos just to the one case versus 24 to a hobby case. So the follow there along. And make sure to drop a sub or a follow if you guys are not already. It can help us help you find us easier in the future. Yeah, Jackson Merrell, 4-99.  Granted, you got to think to Pacific Time and Overseas, where it's like prime time. Will Warren first, Bass Auto for the Yankees. Diego Cartaya, Jordan Lawler, Drew Gilbert. And true gold, Matt Mervis Rookie to 50. Nice one there. Galiz and Anderson de los Santos. All right, we're halfway through the hobby case now. They're making pretty good time here, actually. Pretty good time. Bowman Chrome hobby is really not that hard to open, which is nice though. Bowman Chrome's pretty easy. Bowman Chrome's pretty easy. Jacob Melton. Jason Churio to 199. You win Drew Vargas first. Ariel Castro. They gold speckle. Kate Hunter to 50. Or gold mini diamonds, I should say. Nice one there. Very nice, very nice. Nice one there. Congrats, Justin.

I don't even think of this one, Shawn. Yeah, I didn't do the Star Wars one that Shawn did. Seas, Suzuki to 499. Guanipa in Maya. That was forrest and your dad. Yeah, and he had a normal one the entire time. I think it was Sapphire. I had been, yeah. Yeah, it was a while ago. I remember he just got them. We shipped them sealed to him.  And then I know we would do like... There was a point for Shawn we were doing like... Which by the way, very good guy. Check him out. Hi, I'm Keith Brace on Instagram, Shawn D. Really, really cool guy.  For him, for personals. Yeah, it was wild. Adrian Pinto to 125. Christian Serda, nice one there. Grats on that one, Justin. Basin base for the D-Bex. Green, Gavin Cross. Cutter coffee. Regoya with Luis on Helicunia. That is Manuel Valdez to 499. Carter Young. Chimney Pickett. Chimney Pickett. Oh, your dad's going to hate that one so much. God, I can't.

He's going to probably have to restrain every fiber in his body from choking me out. Vladimir Restatsuyo. Get you a cherry though. Get you a cherry, Mike and I. I promise it's not a hot tamale. Ooh, orange shimmer auto. Junior Franco to 25. Nice one there. Congrats, Justin. That'll work. Junior Franco. Galana and Camila Diaz. Yellow, Jet Williams to 75. Good mattes. Jet the matt. Basin base. Peña, James Wood. And Devisandelo Santos. John K. Pick it up a upper deck allure. On tomorrow, I think we're doing that. Upper deck allure hockey.  I think that's the first break tomorrow, yeah. I think so. Either that or there might be a what's before. I think there's one thing before that maybe, unless I was just thinking of, I think it might just be Kyle. No, it is. Yeah, it is the first break tomorrow. Upper deck allure. 26 to go on that. Nice. One auto or autograph memorabilia. One rare ratio insert. Two base set. Four base set. Five lockers. Huh. Five base set. Nine base set rookie. Nine color flow. That's cool. I'm in on that. Very cool.

Hopefully you wake up to the game. Oh my god, Luis Guami. But I'm just having like flashbacks, like PTSD the last time we flipped. Well, right in my F first. Between, since then and now we did win one game and one game, to be fair. I don't remember who played, but we played some bot team over there. I can get up there with bot team. Yeah, but... Got to win this game. No, of course I have Therak Henry on my fantasy team. So I have to root for that.   I'd rather my team win. But if my team doesn't win, I better win my fantasy. And it better not be because Therak Henry got shut down. To 499 Mookie Betts. What'd you say? You're my second win this tomorrow. I'm not your second win. You have to wait till next week for that. Ethan Celest to 100 on the Atomic. There we go. Congrats, Justin, out of nowhere. Hell yeah, buddy. Let's go, man. That'll work just fine, bro. Take that. That is 78 out of 100. Looks pretty clean as well. Get that right into a mag for you, buddy. Very nice. Take a solace. Yeah, you will be waiting until next week to get your first win. Your second win or whatever. You will continue to be flailing around in the bottom of the rankings. Gabriel Hughes, you, Donnie, Forrest, and Halle, and Lane, all the bottom. We got a true red of Gennaro Miller. Three of five. Gennaro, A.K. DeNaro. The guy is money. Congrats on that one. They're Justin. This card is money.  True red. Guy does not have autos in this either. So that'll work very well. Get that into a mag. That was a great, that was the same box as the solace, too. You'll get that every now and then, dude. You'll get like, there was, I don't remember. I don't think it was the same box, but there was one case we had an orange. It was not, were you top loading with the oranges or was it your dad? I don't remember it was you or your dad. It was a true orange Arias and the true orange Joendry Vargas in the same case. Yeah, one case of hobby, too. It was hobby. It wasn't a choice. But I don't think it was the same box they came out of. I think it was two separate, I hope it'd be two separate boxes. That would be. Yeah, I know, my God. Fred Oduno, Cam Collier, Purple Shimmer, Brady House, the 250. Dion Jorge, Colson Montgomery. Base Auto, Gerardo Quintero. Nice one there.  That looks fine, but I think it's just going to be the dust. Rodriguez in base. Seasazuki, the 499. And as Waldo Osorio, should be a Welbin Francisco in this box, right? Or in this pack. It is, yep, Welbin Francisco, Braylor Guerrero. Came up, yeah, I figured that that was pretty clearly dust, which was good.  God, I really don't blame you. Jackson Merrill. Haha, not a refractor, just base. Shocking, though. Shocking.

We are out on the water today to show you what it takes to validate performance on one of our boats We're gonna start with the basics though. So let's queue up the intro and let's see what's behind the glass When it comes to powering our boats many factors need to be considered to achieve the desired performance These considerations begin very early in the design process as the haul is being developed the design team determines What range of horsepower and how many engines the haul will need to accommodate? The most important variable between engine packages is the weight difference These weight differences causes the center of gravity of the boat to shift forward or back changing the running attitude of the boat Careful planning and consideration must be taken to ensure that all of the packages will perform as designed The design team will also calculate a theoretical engine height range for the transom and perform a weight study to validate these Calculations the exact engine height will be tested on the water later in the process an important piece in the puzzle of Performance that is not often talked about is the propeller So let's break down the anatomy of a modern outboard prop Modern outboard props are made from high-quality polished stainless steel and are designed to meet a wide range of conditions Yamaha's prop selection is divided into different families each one focused on a particular boat size And style most of the props that we use come from the saltwater series or reliance series by Yamaha Testing and validation of engine performance is a continuous effort for us here at sportsmen We run different models on a weekly basis for continued quality assurance The Yamaha performance team also runs every boat model to generate the performance bulletins that you're used to seeing The testing and compiling of data for the performance bulletins is done by a Yamaha OEM application engineer The goal is to record all of the data and make any adjustments needed to set benchmarks for that model The adjustments will range from engine height to prop family and sizing Our boats are designed to perform in many different conditions. The correct prop is key to meeting this performance Each engine package offered will need to be tested individually as each setup's requirements vary Similarly to choosing tires for your car a car manufacturer will choose a tire setup for a vehicle based on its intended use And the same goes for prop selection Our boats will run through a battery of tests to choose the appropriate prop for a whole shot cruising speeds and best overall performance Let's dive into what testing actually looks like for the Yamaha performance team To get started the Yamaha engineer will take measurements of the initial setup Established by the sportsman design and engineering team This is to ensure a good baseline If the engines are too high it may lead to poor whole shot performance as the prop struggles to bite If they're too low the increased drag will cause poor performance and lower speeds The engineer will determine a good starting point prop based on weight and size of the boat and hits the water for initial testing Before they get started they'll take note of the weight of the boat as a package This will include things like fuel, number of people, number of batteries as well as additional equipment such as a seatkeeper That will also take note of temperature, wind direction and speed Weight plays an integral part in the performance results And will also give you a better idea on the conditions each boat was tested under for comparison For most tests the benchmark is two people and half a tank of fuel The test consists of running from point A to point B Increasing 500 rpms at a time and recording the speed gallons per hour and miles per gallon This will continue for the full rpm range of the engines The test will be performed twice upwind and twice downwind Each result will be averaged together to formulate the final results Next it's time to figure out the time it takes to plane the boat This is how quickly the boat gets up and out of the hole and is sitting on top of the water Same as before it will be performed multiple times and an average is calculated Lastly is how quickly the boat accelerates from zero to 30 miles per hour Results are recorded and averaged together Once the tests are complete the Yamaha engineer can determine if any changes need to be made If everything is performing as it should based on condition, prop and engine height then the test concludes If a prop change needs to be made they will pull the boat out of the water change props and continue testing again If the engine height needs to be adjusted the boat will be brought back to the plant Or will make the necessary adjustments before going back to the water Testing will continue until the teams have arrived at a configuration best suited for each model and engine package Beyond the initial performance testing of a boat. We have a full on water testing regimen This includes water testing every single one of our larger models And it's just another quality assurance step that we take On a daily basis, we have dedicated technicians taking boats to the water to test and validate completed boats Taking the data provided from Yamaha's testing and performance bulletins We set up each boat to their specifications to ensure that they are meeting the benchmark set by Yamaha Next our team will go through our own internal testing routine checking for leaks performing functional tests Completing cosmetic inspections and lastly setting up any optional equipment We set up options such as joysticks and autopilots that require the boat to be on the water for initial calibration Ensuring that your sportsman performs as design is a priority in an ongoing effort across many departments Before we close we want to give a huge thank you to the Yamaha team for their help during this episode The techniques shown in this episode are part of the sport tech advanced fabrication process These preparatory manufacturing steps yield the best results and have been thoroughly tested for durability longevity and finish All sportsman boats feature a 100 composite construction with no wood NMA certification and a 10 year haul limited warranty Don't miss our next installment of behind the glass as we take a look at the biggest and most impressive machine here at sportsman From summerville, south Carolina. My name is victor and thank you for watching
