What's up guys welcome back? I'm Jason savage gone savage representing Anthony dream Johnson's 21 Convention Stockholm, Sweden 2010. We just heard from Jared Ratisse. Excellent presentation I'm here actually to introduce my friend and colleague from Austin, Texas His name is Jonathan van Mater. He goes by a crazy cloud that's his superpower super human super ego community name and and Aside from being an accomplished dating coach and lifestyle coach Jonathan is also He's an actor. He's a musician. He's a poet. He is a freelance writer And he's actually on tour with me. We're touring Europe something. We're calling seduction without borders. We've given up Basically most of our worldly possessions. We've kind of sold everything Given it away or just otherwise given it up to make this trip to Europe and we're gonna spend at least four months over here No idea what he's gonna be talking about, but it shouldn't it's sure to be awesome Another one more quick thing about Jonathan is that he is part of the director's board for Zan Perrion's Our Zamorata program of which we are both graduates, so if you guys could welcome Crazy cloud All right Thank you guys. I want to say my thanks for Jason Savage for a great introduction Thanks to Anthony and Matt and the whole team that is making this whole operation run like clockwork I've been here for the whole three days of the conference and enjoyed every moment of it And I feel like all of you guys who are here who are not speakers are getting amazing value out of this and So my kudos to Anthony and his team for just making this event come together All right, so a little lightness to start off pick up artist walks into a nightclub and of course he looks around the nightclub He scopes it out He looks for the hottest girl you can possibly spot and she's in this corner and in the corner She's sitting there talking to this Buddhist monk, so the pickup artist says to himself dude This is totally awesome.   He's super excited, you know, he's coming on and his game is just kicking and The girl is totally eating it up and the monk like not only is he not being threatening and not trying to amog the pickup artist He actually seems to be helping him along like he understands the game He understand these gamuts that the pickup artist is trying to use so the pick up artist feeling really good He's like, okay, I'm so I'm so in with this girl like I know what my next move should be so that I can close This deal so the girl excuses herself to go to the WC and the pickup artist turns to the monk And he says hey, man. I really want to bounce this girl to another venue so I can you know get her buying temperature up Could you help me out? Just when she comes back make some excuse to leave so I can bounce her to the next venue and The monk looks at this pickup artist with kind of a sly smile on his face and just pause us for a moment and Then he just with like lightning quack quick accuracy like rears back and punches the pickup artist in the face And as the pickup artist is falling over and fading into unconsciousness The Buddhist monk says true venue change must come from within So this is a talk about what the community calls inner game. I don't really call it inner game I call it permanent access to joy. I call it indelible self-esteem. I call it durable happiness I call it having a baseline of joy and happiness in your life that cannot be taken away from you This is not about how to get good with women It's about how to feel good about getting good at anything not just getting good with women, but The process of mastery in your life of mastering new skills involves challenge.  I want to deal with a volcano today so We're going to talk about women, but in the context of this larger action that's taking place in you this larger change That's growing from inside you So we will talk about how to feel good getting good at anything a little bit about myself I am not a pickup artist You have seen much better pickup artists than me in the course of this three days I am not that good with women what I am good at is feeling good about where I'm at being good with women So I really have never felt like a pickup artist I actually identify with the word that Zan uses and that that Jason also likes to use which is romance artist or love Artist I am definitely a creature of love I am definitely More of a maker than a taker like to me pick up the word always felt like you're trying to take something and for me I'm trying to create in the world, you know, like Jason said. I'm a poet. I'm a writer. I'm a musician That's what I do. I'm an artistic soul. I like to create. I like to build I like to build people up instead of tear them down and take from them So that's my Place that I come to this from so I stand before you for one thing with 21 years of experience and how to be happy not having sex I was a late bloomer The first time I fell in love was at six years old. Her name was Mar-Ann Kelly.  I call it by what it felt like at the time which is love and So like as my time went on in life, I came to a point in life where it's like I had access to sex But at the same time I felt like I wanted to wait for that love I wanted that love to happen before I settled into the sexual side of myself So I waited later than most people. I have turned down more sexual offers before I was 27 Before then I have accepted since then I actually multiple times turned down chances for my first time having sex to be a threesome Once I turned down a chance for it to be a foursome like two girls and another guy You know these are things I know some of you guys aspire to but part of it was because I had a very specific value system I knew what my standards were for myself and that was what I was going to hold myself to And like I said, I'm a creature of love. So for me, it was very much about the first time being about love a Lot of what I'm going to tell you today didn't come from me trying to improve my sexual and romantic life it came from me studying origami and jazz improvisation and C++ and The art of writing And that's that's part of what I want to teach you today Which I don't even have a bullet point on this so I'm just going to say it and you're going to have to take It in which is mastering anything at all makes you good at master mastering everything like that just that sense of mastery that sense of your own ability to Address new challenges will make you better at addressing other new challenges And that's all I have to say about that because I have to hurry it up So another thing about my background This has to do with my association with Zan Perion One of the things I did in the course of that was to be the founder of the first ours on Marata chapter in Austin, Texas and Initially, this was meant to just be a meeting for graduates of his ours on Marata program to reconnect with each other To kind of keep each other on the path But we decided to open it up to men and women alike who were just wanting to have a frank and honest conversation about Men and women connecting and how men and women relate to each other most of these were people who had no connection to the community They were like friends of friends who just showed up because they had this some kind of Either pain point or our joy point or something in their soul that they wanted to share with the rest of the people Who were there that they wanted to sit in this community and have a conversation about why some of these things work and other things don't work So I led these conversations week after week for months And they all worked the same I would start with a question Just one question something that had piqued my interest about how people are dating and relating to one another in the past week Very open-ended question and then from there the conversation would just continue of its own volition Usually the only other thing I would say in the whole course of it would be to ask maybe a couple more open-ended questions to kind of steer it toward The conversation having a little more depth In the process I learned a whole lot about the places where people suffer When they are trying to connect with other people So when I say that I understand where you're coming from I'm not only speaking from my own experience of Suffering and trying to get good at this I'm speaking from all of those other people's experience that they have related to me that they have spoken to me the places where they feel hurt or they feel confused or They feel misled or betrayed So I want to share to you some ways to deal with that that I've actually Offered to some of these people to sort of help them work through that and that I would now like to offer to you So we have five principles to talk about today, and I will try to get through all of them Number one is how to make mastery effortless Number two is how to use leverage wisely Number three is all about how to make irrational, but pleasing assumptions Number four is polyamory is for everyone, and that may sound confusing But I'll explain when I get there and number five is how to dwell in mystery and choose love in your life All right, so we'll get right into it make mastery effortless I'd like to say I really liked what Orlando said yesterday When he said how it feels at the beginning is how it's going to feel when you finish it That is so insightful That's the principle. I actually first learned before I ever heard of the community when I was learning jazz improvisation. I read this book by a jazz pianist his name is Kenny Werner and Surprise surprise his book is called effortless mastery Even though it's written for musicians I would say it's actually one of the best books for any field on Inner game and how to feel good about making progress So listen to this little quote It is good to view things as familiar or unfamiliar Rather than as difficult or easy If you give yourself the message, this is difficult The piece may discourage you and it will still be difficult to play even after you've learned it There's more to that quote, but I want to stop there. How many of you feel like you're having success with pickup to some degree or with seduction if you'd like to call it that But at the same time it feels hard like it feels like work That's a lot of you That's a whole lot of you and a lot of that is the message that you're giving yourself.  It's hard You're telling yourself. It's work It's your self-talk All right, I'm going to continue. However, if you believe that all music is easy Then you will assume that you are unfamiliar with the piece And it just hasn't become easy yet Let that sink in It's just not easy yet I'd like you all to repeat after me. All seduction is easy It just isn't easy yet All seduction is easy It's just not easy yet.  It doesn't have to be hard. It is easy This change is easy. The process is easy. It's just unfamiliar You're in unfamiliar territory.  It's okay for it to be unfamiliar But you need to still feel that it is easy and you just haven't figured out how easy it is yet All right, let me see All right, ultimately what Orlando and Kenny both had to tell us is this treat your work as play Treat it as play treat it as something that you can make fun Yes, you should be disciplined. Yes, you should be focused Yes, you should give your best effort, but do not make it heavy And do not make it hard. It should be light. It should be easy It should be delightful. Actually, this is one of zan's favorite phrases is ease and delight in all things That you should feel at ease with yourself at ease with the world Even when you are giving your best hardest effort Even when you are putting the most of yourself into something it should be done with ease All right, let's talk about a couple of practical ways you can change your thinking on this One of those is master things that you know are easy Even if you're not interested in them Even if they are not your passion I I really would not advise you to spend your whole life doing things. You're not passionate about I would advise exactly the opposite But just temporarily in the short term if you feel like you don't have this sense of mastery this ability to Feel that things are easy Just master things that you've looked at and you've said I could do that if I wanted to And just allow yourself to want it for a while to master it to feel how easy it was to feel your own internal sense of mastery Um, and then once you've done that a few times you can move on to pursuing the things you are passionate about With that renewed sense of mastery Um, and the second is to recognize your mistakes unflinchingly and then let them go completely and suddenly Um, here's Kenny Werner again Sometimes you hear yourself botching things up that you've practiced and you don't even question it That's because the mistakes actually agree with your belief that I am not a master and music is hard In fact, the material has just not been practiced to the proper level of ease music has to become easy. That's the secret So what he's saying here about mistakes is like you have to recognize your mistakes You have to look at it and say yes, I made a mistake. A correction is needed here. Um, that's essential Um, and actually this is a point where I disagree with marius who said yesterday you can't learn from your past I say you can learn from your past But you can everything that you can learn about your past can be learned in about 90 seconds You stop you look at it. You say I did this wrong this wrong and this wrong. I accept it I know what to do next time and i'm letting go of it Holding on to your past is what will not profit you at all Um, there's nothing new to learn by holding on to it. So just let it go Celebrate it accept it do not cling to it and that brings me to the next principle Which is use leverage wisely Um, can someone tell me what they think some of the most successful words in the entire self-help life improvement recovery um life coaching universe are Just one suggestion All right, I'll just tell it to you. It is this God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change Courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference It's the serenity prayer from alcoholics anonymous. It's also used by a bunch of other Uh recovery addiction recovery Organizations and the message is a very simple one only push Where something's going to move Look, you are here because you know that your life needs to change But the question is how do you make that change manifest? Right? How do you make it present in your life? How do you make it? take place Leverage is basically just basically basic physics if you imagine a seesaw If you sit in the middle of the seesaw at the fulcrum You're not going to go anywhere. Nothing will happen If you sit really close to the center and somebody is sitting way at the end on the other end You're not going to go anywhere because their weight Holds your weight up and you're not not going to move You apply leverage at the point where the seesaw moves which is way out at the end You push at the point where the most work will be accomplished So tell me this Just show of hands. Can you change other people? You're you're way ahead of me. Uh, no hands up for can you change people though? Um, of course not you can influence you can inspire you can mentor you can teach But the only person who changes a person is that person So tell me this why do you keep pushing on other people trying to turn them into what you want them to be? Why do you keep trying to manipulate the people in your surroundings as a means of changing your life?  Uh, another one, uh, why do you keep dwelling on your past when it's already written and cannot be undone? Why do you think about it so much? Why do you rehearse it? Why do you relive it? It can't be undone push on the present moment where you can actually make a difference forgive your past Shake hands with it.  The difference between the things you can change and the things you can't How many of you think you can figure that out? All right, there's a pretty good number of you, right? So you have the tool you need to put your leverage in the right place That's all you need All right, so let's make this a little bit practical Ultimately, this principle is about learning to where to put your attention Um, if you're being distracted from changing yourself, you need to solve those distractions by putting your attention back where it belongs Uh, so these are just a couple of Uh, simple little tactics to remind yourself to put your attention where it belongs Uh, before you shower in the morning You can put soap on your fingers and write the word now on the shower on the window in the shower on the on the mirror So when you get out, there it is written in front of you the word now Change your phone ringtone to a female friend saying over and over you must change your life. You must change your life You must change your life Tell your best friends That they get to slap you and collect a dollar every time you start dwelling on the past You will be a poor man really quick And have really red cheeks, but you'll get the message Because then you're going to actually get progress progress you can feel good about progress You can actually reward yourself for if you're putting your leverage in places where nothing moves All you're going to feel is discouraged and disheartened if you put your leverage where things happen Then you'll make progress it may be small progress Maybe baby steps as orlanda was saying yesterday But you're going to be making progress You're going to be getting somewhere and you can reward yourself every time you take one of those steps So push where it'll move All right next up make pleasing but irrational assumptions There is a constant feedback loop inside you between your beliefs and your experience He who has not seen will not believe and he who does not believe will not see You need experience to prove the things that you believe you need belief to even go out and have the experiences in the first place It's this closed loop In community terms, we would say intergame in the field or like very tightly coupled You can't fix one without fixing the other And as you might have noticed the fact that it's closed loop kind of makes it seem like change is impossible But there's kind of a secret backdoor into this loop that I want to talk about The way to break into this loop and start changing your beliefs even in the absence of proof is assumptions It's perspectives. It's chosen perspectives Human beings are actually extraordinarily capable of holding multiple irrational paradoxical and even contradictory beliefs We are we are not only free to do this. We are designed to do it Um, it's it's part of what gives us that higher intelligence that enables us to have What we call free will It does not have to be true It does not have to be make sense The thing that you believe only has to be useful to you and your happiness You can choose to believe anything So let's look at some assumptions that are particularly useful for you First of all all women are already my women Of course, it's not true.   You don't have to make a laugh Uh, you don't have to make the deepest emotional connection anyone has ever made None of this is necessary Because she is already yours Believing this lets you simply show up as you are Okay, another belief.       So I'm just going to avoid being loving and vulnerable But you have no guarantee that that's true It is just as likely that pain is a rare but bearable and survivable result of your love and vulnerability And normally those qualities are met with love with reciprocation with appreciation with celebration with excitement Why not assume that isn't it more pleasing to assume that Given a choice between two equally irrational beliefs. Why not choose the one that it is most pleasing to believe Why not choose the one that enriches your life the most? Not the one that makes that your past makes you think is the most true Because your past is not proof Say that with me the past is not proof Thank you Your past is a red herring, right? It's like what they put in the mystery novel to distract you To make you think things are going this way when really they're going this way Choose to believe what it is happiest to believe and choose to remain open to love believe that all love is good love Now I know some of you are already protesting Because you're convinced that the pain of love is still going to come to you in the future And I'm not going to lie to you it probably will But that's okay Let's talk about the next principle and that's one way to solve that which is polyamory is for everyone The modern connotation of the word polyamory Means like many sex partners or like many relationships Many romantic or emotional relationships I want to take it a little further back The word comes from greek and latin roots that mean literally many loves or many passions And I'm not going to tell you what kind of relationship you should be pursuing if you want monogamy straight up Like you want to find that one girl who just makes your heart sing And commune with her that is great. I'm not saying you should not do that If you want to have multiple long-term relationships, that's also great If you basically just want to be a sex robot And have as many sexual partners as possible with as little emotional content as possible That is also okay with me. I'm not in this segment saying anything about any of those choices What I am saying is this You should have more than one source of joy in your life and you have you should have more than one place to put your love If you have only one you are setting yourself up for a fall You're setting yourself up for the pain that will come the suffering that will come to completely devastate you to rock your Pendulum completely off of its axis so Let me tell you a little bit about me. My life in the past few years Has been riddled with moments of loss and sadness. I lost two grandparents I lost my father I lost my cat I lost three different jobs And I also lost the most loving and gratifying relationship I've ever had in my life It's a lot of loss for three years But what has kept me afloat is that my life is full of passions.  Yes, I am free to draw joy from the experiences I have from them But I don't put all of my eggs into that basket Uh, I spread my passion widely Um What has kept me afloat has been these two things.  You're withholding your unique contribution to the universe And you have one You should be giving that out and if you're doing this and this is all you're doing You are not giving your full gift to the world. You have other things to give Um, when I say that I have always got some kind of self-directed sense of joy I mean, I always have more than one passion in my life that excites me that inflames me I mean, I always have more than one line connected to that power plant that makes you happy Um a perfect example to look at for this is Casanova Like everybody's heard of Casanova. He has this huge reputation as like one of the greatest seducers of history What a lot of people don't realize unless they actually bother to read his biography Wow, okay, um Is that he was also a lawyer a composer a doctor a musician a political leader and a poet And much more if you read his memoirs You will learn that even he felt major heartbreaks and felt them deeply But at the same time he was always perseverant in his love and passion for women And for all of the other things that he did he always had passions in his life and not all of them were women Having so many passions made him able to do what fred was actually talking about on the first day when he said You need to build your house on more than one pole Um, he had so many polls that he could feel disappointment He could feel it very deeply and yet he still had that that that well water Like that that level of happiness that could not be taken away from him So the real achievement That you want to achieve is not outcome independence Which is a big buzzword in the community What I like to say is outcome independence is not outcome indifference like You should not let that Make you stop caring about what happens. Of course you care Of course you care that that that girl who's been your best friend for three years that you confessed to your love to Did not reciprocate. Of course you're disappointed. Of course, of course, you're curious about what might have happened Of course, it's hard for you to let go of that and that's all okay like don't let Your your attempt to release yourself from being dependent on that one outcome make you stop caring about it Continue to care But just put your caring as wide as you can your supply of love is infinite Your only finite resource on this earth is time Everything else is infinite love infinite laughter infinite joy infinite It is there for you as much as you draw from it and it keeps filling from the bottom You can't run out of it. The only thing you can run out of is time So why waste your time believing the things that make you feel badly? All right, uh, very very quickly.  But if you're not calling your mom regularly, you're not actively giving your love Um, there's actually scientific research that shows that being compassionate empathetic and giving Is the best route to durable self-esteem Self-esteem being your love for yourself Yes, uh, things like achievement like getting results getting goals Winning awards stuff like that will build your self-esteem, but it only builds it temporarily and then it falls right back down This is all scientific research If you want to build it durably be compassionate be empathetic be giving do works of service for people who are worthy of them Do works of service for people that you love Call your fucking mom Do volunteer work Reward yourself for your own aliveness not for your achievement Give yourself awards for how alive you feel in the world and how expressive you are Finally, I will try to make this as fast as possible final principle dwell in mystery and choose love Let's get back to first principles love Is a mystery and I don't mean detective mystery. I don't mean agathchristi I don't mean csi and I certainly don't mean fuzzy hat and boa mystery the pua. I mean mystery In a very different sense Um, the greek root of the word mystery is musterion which is also deeply tied to the word mystic Um, ultimately mystery is about our confrontation with the unknown with the uncertain Life is fundamentally uncertain We make decisions all the time and we don't know what will happen Whichever way you go, right red pill blue pill. You don't know what will happen left right Um, supersize it or don't supersize it.  It's it's already judged it before it has happened The actual opposite of love is fear Ultimately all of the choices in your life can be reduced to a choice between love and fear Love fear. You can love the uncertainty. You can celebrate it You can greet it with curiosity. You can give it a gigantic hug and say I'm so excited to find out what will happen Or you can fear it. You can run away from it. You can try not to make a choice which is in itself a choice Um, and what I wanted to implore you to do is choose love As shakespeare said all the world's a stage life is a non-stop rehearsal life is Actually, it's not even a non-stop rehearsal. It's a performance that you never get to rehearse for You make every choice only once Um, you'll never know what lies down the path. You did not travel.  It's those two lovely women who were sitting at the back for most of the conference who All of you guys kept pulling up on stage to do demos because they kept coming up here having no idea what would happen They kept making that choice and embracing the unexpected Having no clue what this this room of of you know swath and and Alluring pickup artist was going to do them That's game Those women are game. Those are your role models Those are your real role models because they made choices in the face of uncertainty and they chose love So very quickly I want to contrast very quickly confusion game and mystery game I'm not going to go too far into this because savage has already talked about a seduction Or his savage triangle Contrasting pickup with seduction. So I just want to say this To me seduction is the choice of love And pickup is the choice of fear Pickup chooses to confuse And confusion is an artificial representation Of the mystery that we all need to feel in our lives And if we would just set that confusion aside if we would cut out all the routines cut out all the games Cut out all the subterfuge cut out all the misdirection and instead Focus on the mystery of one unique person and another unique person focus on all the questions that opens up just by itself What are the possibilities for me and you? That in itself is enough to excite anyone We don't need all that other bullshit Um, so I would encourage you to dwell in mystery Do not dwell in confusion Um, that is an artificial societal construction that's trying to replace something that is very natural for us Which is to commune with one another and sit inside of a question the question of what can we become? So if you are really like searching for any kind of connection with movement, I don't care if it's sexual emotional purely physical whatever Do it from a viewpoint of mystery do it from a viewpoint of curiosity Turn your sense of wonder on stand in front of a woman And just see what it sees And that's all for me All right, very very quickly Uh, I have a very quick plug Um, Jason and I as as he mentioned are founding a company called seducers without borders Uh, we want to announce a unique opportunity Which is a uh live in instruction experience where we come to you We are in europe for the next four and a half months We will come to you all you have to give to us is this Bed or couch or sleeping bag or something to crash on and what we will give to you in return for that plus price to cover our instruction time Is ubr tour guide to your neighborhood and meanwhile we are your tour guide to the land of women We are your tour guide to mystical seduction to passionate living to courageous decision making to sexual and emotional honesty Um, you can travel with us from the security of your own home and we will still show you wonders. You've never seen before Uh, so we have two options for this. It can be either $3,200 for five days or $2,100 for three days of non-stop instruction Uh, or if you're not able to host us say you live in a dorm or something like that We're still available for one-on-one coaching and can come to you So just talk to us about pricing and we'll work something out Uh, so please just talk to me or jason after the conference and uh, we will do our best to come to you wherever you are in europe Yes, they can yes, and eventually there will be a website for seduction without borders, but it ain't there yet So don't go looking for it All right, thanks guys


Okay, we're here. This is John Furrier, SiliconANGLE.com, and I'm here with Dave Vellante, wikibon.org. This is theCUBE, SiliconANGLE.tv's coverage of all the tech events and conversations in tech, and we're going to bring that to you live all day today. Here in San Francisco, we're here with EMC's VSpec Longs. Dave Vellante, my co-host. Dave, how you doing? You got in last night? Yeah, John, doing great. We were down at the IBM announcement yesterday, a big week for converged infrastructure, right? We saw some other announcements from HP. We saw some stuff coming out from NetApp. We saw some stuff from IBM yesterday, and now we're here for the big announcement of the week, EMC VSpec. Well, we're here in San Francisco to really document the changing services landscape, SiliconANGLE.com, has a new vertical site now, almost a year up and running called Services Angle, and we cover all the changing disruption in the services business from delivering services, customer service, to web services, to app services, to infrastructure services, and today we are going to be covering EMC's launch of their VSpec, which is an interesting new product, Dave, we're going to drill down to it, but first, we're going to talk about kind of what's going on in tech prior to getting into the livestream. We have all the EMC execs on here. SiliconANGLE.com is the site to go to for a reference point for all tech innovation, Silicon Valley, Boston, all around the world, and Dave, what a busy week it's been, so some news that's happened in tech has been interesting. It's a lot of things to talk about. First is obviously today, and yesterday, Apple was attacked by the DOJ for anti-trust behavior around their e-books. Obviously, I'm against this, because I was to look what the DOJ did to Microsoft. We've talked on theCUBE many, many times about the DOJ's behavior. Apple's stock hasn't all-time high. People think they're going to have a trillion-dollar market cap, and we've predicted that they would go rise, rise, and rise, and now they're being clamped by the government. At the same time, the government under Obama's leadership was trying to create startups for jobs, so I just don't get this kind of hamstringing Apple when they're actually creating innovation. In fact, it was Apple, computer, that enabled Instagram, a startup less than two years old, to sell for a billion dollars. The co-founder, Kevin Systrom, made 400 million dollars by selling an app that takes photos and shares them on the mobile social network, Dave, so. Eight guys starting a billion dollars, getting a billion dollars off the ground. I mean, that's amazing. I mean, he did. Has that ever been done before? Right? Well, Mark Cuban, sub-ten people? We've seen some acquisition, but not that high. Not that, they only had 13 people technically, but really it was like eight about a couple weeks ago. Again, no real presence in sales, no real business, other than the fact they had 30 million people using their product and Mark Zuckerberg saw a little bit of himself in Instagram. And I think the reason why Microsoft bought them was because they had, they were a direct threat. I mean, Facebook bought them because of direct threat and they, although they didn't have a lot of revenue, they had a lot of value to Facebook. So Facebook takes a competitor out of the market for a billion dollars, which if you think about it, if it was less cash, more stock, Dave, then that's going to be a good pop for their IPO. They take a competitor off the table, they get presence in mobile and. Now, John, Facebook's known for buying these services and shutting them down. You think that's what they'll do with Instagram? No, I think they're going to bring them in as small team. Again, it's only 13 people as of the acquisition. So Facebook will bring them in, let them run independent for a while, but ultimately give them a different hedge into the mobile space. Obviously, mobile is the only thing that really could unseat Facebook for being what dominant platform that they are. They own the web, they have a lot of mobile usage, but their mobile app really isn't that great. And obviously, pictures is the number one app on Facebook and it was a direct threat. A billion dollars when they're already kind of quote, overvalued, depending upon how you look at it.  A billion dollars in paper stock, not that much money. I agree with you. I mean, how many users does Facebook have? 800 million, 850 million, and about only half use the Facebook app.  So, big upside there, right? And the other thing about this story, Dave, that was obviously obvious in our internal SiliconANGLE conversations was disagreement around if this is a good deal or not. Mark Riz and Hopkins and I debated this and he wrote a blog post on his own blog so he doesn't go in a rogue with his opinion, but he's got a good angle on that. And for people who aren't in Silicon Valley, it looks like just this frothy, gratuitous deal. And as Mark was saying, it's an insider VC hand job. So, I think ultimately, I don't believe that because there wasn't a lot of VCs in here. They only raised $7 million in financing. Only a few players. Sequoia kind of came in the last moment on a huge round, but they're going to get two X on their money. Yeah, people made some money, but the big thing is the founder made 400 million. So it was more of a deal for the founder and less of an inside Silicon Valley baseball deal. Risen's other point was that they could have just hired a bunch of engineers and replicated the features and the service. Yeah, and of course they could, but if it fails, they lose in the eyes of Wall Street. They lose on the execution prowess that they have. And look at Google Plus. Google Plus has been trying to duplicate Facebook and they're struggling, as some say. I actually think they're doing well. I think they have a different strategy. And this week in the news, Google Plus redesigned their whole social network. So, I think Google Plus is one of those things where the easy analysis for the low-end bloggers out there is to compare it to Facebook. And most of the tech crunches of the world talk about that. Oh, it's a Google Plus as a Facebook clone. Google's specifically going after sequencing off Gmail and all their current assets. And I think Google Plus will be a completely different product than Facebook and we'll see how they execute that, but clearly not knocking it out of the park. Product's not that bad, it's got traction, but it's not Facebook. Well, I know a lot of Instagram users weren't thrilled with the move, but if Facebook keeps them as a separate service, I'll be happy because I use the mobile app and I think it could be a lot better. And like you said, pictures is the number one use case. So last week, this week, Mark and I were talking about the billion dollar week in tech. Big week in tech, wasn't it? It's been a billion dollar week. There's been three acquisitions this week of a billion dollars. Instagram, Facebook, deal that we talked about. AOL sold their patent portfolio to Microsoft for a billion dollars. And AT&T sold their yellow pages to a financial group, AKA hedge fund or some other new instrument to take that old dying business and turn it around. Probably most likely in a date of this is for a billion dollars. So you got all three of those coming selling for a billion and Kodak is still worth zero. That's a Kodak. So the best line of the week was Instagram sells for a billion, Kodak sold for zero. Well, you know, we were having a conversation about branding earlier. Maybe Kodak should just use the brand to brand anything like the Kodak car, Polaroid too, right? The Polaroid brand still has some cash aid, doesn't it? You remember Polaroid, John? You drive by Polaroid on 128 now. It's just a, it's a, it's a burned out building basically. So maybe they should just go into whatever, pianos, cars, cameras. There's some other sentiment around the Instagram deal that I want to share with you. And that is, is that, you know, and I saw a line out there on the Twitter sphere around the quote was Kodak solves all photography problems worth zero. Instagram wrecks all solves problems, sells for a billion. So it kind of, it makes a question, what's that word? So. So billion dollars. Billion dollar a week. A lot of things going on. Also, I wrote a post on Forbes. It's got a lot of traction about hunger games and that's more of a social angle, but basically hunger games, huge success. Thanks to companies like this moment, which builds deep, the best social platform for YouTube and Facebook. And hunger games became a huge success because they applied social media in the right way. Hunger games proved that you can execute a social media strategy without gimmicks and viral guy viral cats. And they did it well in advance, activated their car audience and huge success. And the other thing Dave is hot outside of the social network in our world is services. So we're seeing IT cloud, huge. HP made an announcement, VMware announced them with Cloud Foundry yesterday. OpenStack has having some changing of the guard with Citrix leaving. And now today solidifier stepping up. Well, and I got to put in a plug for services. We were here talking about converged infrastructure, the whole trend toward bringing together servers and storage and networking. And the whole idea behind this, John, as you know is simplification. Simplification you would think means less services. Well, guess what? At Wikibon, we just size this market and the TAM is enormous. It's a $400 billion market. And guess what the biggest component of that market is? Services. So services are over 40% of that TAM. So despite the trend towards simplification in cloud, services is still the big nut. The other thing that happened this week, Dave, I'll share with you is that we were at the SAP event this week where they launched their new HANA database and actually came out and said, we are not a CRM company. We are not an ERP company. SAP is a database company and came out with all their top dogs. Vishal Sikha was the lead executive out there, essentially introducing the massive uptake of HANA, talking about the application business, really talking about two things. Mobile and they're talking about performance as database. So that brings up the key point that I want to chat with you about. I'm looking at our real-time analytics dashboard here, Dave. And the trending items in the verticals that we're covering is analytics, open source, cloud computing, SQL MySQL, VMware, big data, EMC and cloud storage. I mean, this area is smoking hot. What is your take on why SAP, why IBM, why VMware, EMC, Cisco, why all these guys like OpenStack are all retooling. It seems to be like cloud washing is moving into cloud reality. What is your angle on this real quick? Two words, land grab. Right, we're in a major transition. Guys like Joe Tucci have talked about these waves. As you know, well know, John, you and I have been around a long time. These new waves bring trillions of dollars of opportunity. And as a result, people are going after it. They're going after converged infrastructure. They're going after cloud. They're going after new ways of, like for instance with OpenStack, the Hail Mary against Amazon. And it's a land grab. Okay, we're getting ready to go to the live feed. So we're about to begin, Dave, this event, that EMC's kicking off. And by the way, we're going to cover the EMC event here, VSpec, but we're also going to wrap around the editorial angles around how this impacts the services. We're going to go to a live stream in a few minutes of EMC's event here. And they're announcing some pretty amazing things here. Simple, efficient, flexible. This is a channel killer. This product is going to change the services business. Obviously the reseller channel, the integration business around integrations, all about margins, Dave. And I want to get your opinion, once they announce it, have you do a deep dive and dissect the announcement. But to me, I want to hear a couple of things from EMC. I want to hear group points. I want to hear some things that are a success. And I want to hear how people are going to make money. Because the channel cares about margin and profit and making cash and serving their customers. So let's set it up real briefly. So first of all, we're here in San Francisco live at the Terra Gallery in downtown San Francisco for the EMC V-specs announcement. It's a converged infrastructure announcement. Now, VCE, the joint venture between VMware, Cisco, and EMC, which is largely funded by EMC, about two thirds maybe even more funded by EMC, started this off in 2009, John, with the converged infrastructure announcement around Vblock, a single block of infrastructure. We had Mike Capellis on theCUBE talking about this. Single block of infrastructure that brings together Cisco UCS, EMC storage, and Cisco servers. And that really has started to take up the market. Now Exadata also, Oracle Exadata after the acquisition of Sun started to bundle in Sun hardware. They bumped out HP. So Exadata and Vblock were really the two players there selling a single SKU. HP entered the market. Donatelli went to HP, brought that ethos in there and knew how important this was. And now we're seeing everybody, Dell, IBM, HP, NetApp. NetApp was also in there with FlexBot. Now, here's the thing, John. Vblock was any way you wanted it as long as it was black, okay? It was like the Model T of converged infrastructure. The announcement today is all about choice and flexibility, more hypervisors, more choice in terms of servers, more choice in terms of networking beyond just Cisco. So that's what today's announcement is about. And we're seeing it's a big chance. What about lock-in? Say it again? We want to talk about lock-in. Is there a lock-in factor here? Yeah, I think that every single vendor will tell you there is no lock-in. Quote, we won't lock you in. Quote, there's no lock-in here. Guess what? John, I'm on record of saying this is the mother of all lock-ins. And here's why. Customers are worried about who has pricing power. What you're finding with all these suppliers, Vblock, certainly IBM yesterday said this with, I had a lunch with Steve Mills. You're seeing this with Exadata. They're claiming that they're not charging a premium for this integration. They're putting white glove services on this. Why? Because they clearly want to have pricing power down the road. So today, this is caveat emptor. Today, there's no price premium down the road. I would expect there would be for integration. There should be. Okay, we're going to take a commercial 30-second break just to kind of reset and get ready for the live stream from EMC. So stay tuned. We'll be right back.


so much that he would give his life for us. There's nobody greater than our God. Mountain, I looked up. Gracia, love your mercy. To your Gracia, love your mercy. As was read in the scriptures, God gives us promises, right? Hallelujah. He said that his word is forever settled in heaven. Hallelujah. That means that if God said it, it's done, amen. Thank you, Lord. At this time, we'll have our bishop come. Thanks unto the Lord, because he's good, and because his mercy endure, have a relationship. During devotion, God has given us many promises, and his promises never, never, never it's good that the Lord finds love for us, creatures that we are, born in sin, and we were shaping in iniquity. And thank God that he found us when we were lost. He found us. Amen. I want to bring to your attention today the great things happening in the shield of faith. Amen. We're having our mid-winter convention, in January of 2024, on January 11th and the 12th. Amen. And this convention is going to be very helpful to all persons who are part of ministry. You may have a seat, if you like. I might be a few minutes. Now, in the convention time, this is the first time for the mid-winter convention. All right. I'm not going to hold you too long. You all stay in place. The First Lady has pity for you. Now, this is our first mid-winter convention for the Shield of Faith Christian Center and for the Shield of Faith body of believers. And so what we're interested in doing is doing this session of two days, we'll be sharpening our skills. Amen. Everything that we do for the Lord, we should do it with all of our heart, all of our might, all the wisdom we can scrap together. We need to put that together and do that which the Lord has called our hands to do. Scripture said, whatever your hands find to do, do it with all of your might. Well, if you don't know what you're doing, it's kind of hard to put your might in. So there'll be seminars, afternoons, morning sessions, and afternoon sessions. The morning sessions will morning seminars, 10.30 to 12.30, all to empower a room worker training, evangelism and soul-winning training, excellence in worship art, training, issues of church administration, training. Now, I want to stress that word training. We ask you to come. Every member of the church has a duty and a responsibility to the house of God. So I know you want to do the will of God. Somebody has to train you. Scripture says train a child up in the way he should go. And when they're old, they won't depart. So there are many of us who are children, are young members in the body. And for all of those, you need to be trained. All right, so that's the nature of the Midwestern, I'm sorry, the Mid-Winter Convention. So I'm asking each of you who are members of this body of believers, I'm asking you to come and go with us. It may be a sacrifice, but God is worthy of your sacrifice.  I'm going to ask that I'll see each of you at the convention and it's going to be held, what is our address? You have the address? 9592, 7th Street, Rancho Cucamonga. Thank you, thank you. Now, I want to encourage you to please come and worship with us. I used to hear people when I first came to California, I used to hear people say all the way out to Cucamonga. And I didn't know that Cucamonga was such a place. I thought it was like saying out somewhere near East Egypt. But there is a place called Cucamonga, now it is not just Cucamonga, it's Rancho Cucamonga. So we invite you to come and join us at Rancho Cucamonga. The Lord is going to be there. And you'll receive a blessing if you come to the Mid-Winter Convention. Now, without further ado, I'm going to call for the speaker of the hour and he's going to bring us the special music for today. We ask you to incline your heart, incline your ear to hear what the Spirit will say to the church. Receive Elder Ross in Jesus' name. Amen. Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus. Just to take Him at His word, just to rest upon His. Just to know the Savior, the Lord. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. He's a precious. I'm so glad I've learned to trust Him. Precious Jesus, He's my Savior and my friend. I give myself. I give myself. I give myself. When I think of the goodness of Jesus, my soul cries out. See, when I think about what God did for somebody ought to be, giving God praise and somebody ought to be shouting and somebody I believe. So I said, I got to praise and I got to let it out. That's it. Old school praise. See, when we praise the Lord, Sister Bobby, we lost stuff. We lost our shoes. We lost our socks. We lost our coat. We lost our wigs. We lost our dentures. And when we got through praising, we had to get some stuff and gather some stuff and find some stuff that passed your wiggle down the aisle. I cannot tell it off. I'm sorry, y'all, I just had to get that out. See, I've been through some stuff last year. He did some miracles for me last year. He opened some doors for me last year. But the blessings of God, Sister Bobby, they have transferred from last year to this year. And he's blessing me right now. I tell you, I'm feeling that. Remember Bishop, when I was younger, I would run all up and down the aisles and shout. They had to carry me to the parking lot. I was still shouting. They said, boy, when is this boy going to shut up and sit down? He's done so much for me. I owe him not just praise, but I owe him my best praise. I owe him everything that I have. See, I'm not too dignified to praise him.  And Sister Shirley says, hold my mu, I got to get my praise on. Hallelujah to God. We're in January 2024, the beginning of a new year. And it's time to hit the reset button and start over and start fresh. It's time to evaluate what worked last year, what didn't work last year, what changes do I need to make from last year to this year? There's something about us we don't like change. But if we continue to do the same things that we're doing, we will continue to get the same outcome that we're getting. And so the truth is there are some things that I need to change that I have been doing basically all of my life. It wasn't just something that I picked up last year, but there's some changes that I need to make that stem back a long, long time ago. And we need to make a change. You see, sometimes one change will change everything. One change will change everything. See, if I change my perspective to line up with God's perspective, then everything has got to change. Everything has got to line up. Like Pastor Bobby said, if I line up with his, I'm going to be blessed in the city, blessed in the field, blessed going in, blessed coming out. My blessings going to be blessed. My children will be blessed. Everything around me will be blessed if I will line up with the Word of God. Some of us have lived in and were born in a sorry situation. And we've been in our dysfunction for so long, it seems normal to us. In fact, some of us have lived in our sorry situation for so long, we don't even think to ask God to help me get out of the rut that I'm in. Now, it's not always sin, but see, there's some things that you can do that will hold and impede your progress on your way to your blessing. And so this is a new year, and so it's time for us to identify our sorry situations. It's time to ask God to deliver us out of our sorry situation. It's time to expect and believe for changing our life because if you don't expect it, if you don't believe it, nothing is going to happen for you. The Bible said that the just shall live by faith. Our faith is based upon the promises of God. And so we have to move into this new year, this new season, expecting for God to do something brand new in our life. Hey, God for open some doors for us, make some ways for us, take us to another level in Him. I've made up my mind, I'm not going to stay where I am. It's time to move from sadness to gladness, from defeat to victory in the name of Jesus. It's time for what I call a spiritual upgrade. Say upgrade, upgrade. It's time for change in our lives. In other words, it's time for better, whatever better is for you, it's time for better. See, sometimes we settle for okay. But there is good, better, and best. And God wants you to live your best life in Him. You can stay over there and good, and you might move to better. But it takes the spirit of God to elevate us and to take us into our best life in the spirit realm. It's time for an upgrade in Jesus' name. Father, we thank you for this time. We thank you for your word. Go with us, speak to our hearts. Our hearts are open. We thank you that you're a good God, that you allow us space to change and to grow, that you allow us not to stay in the same way that we were when you found us, but you said that I will take you from glory to glory, from strength to strength. And we are moving higher in the name of Jesus. And it's not because of anything we've done. It's because of the name of Jesus. There's power in the name of Jesus. There's deliverance in the name of Jesus. There's breakthrough in the name of Jesus. We have to allow Jesus to take us to another level. In him, the word that the Lord gave me for today was from sadness to gladness, a spiritual upgrade, chronicles four and ten. O that thou would bless me, indeed. Not just a little blessing, but I want a big blessing to sometimes all we have the faith is, Lord, just help me get a sticker, bubblegum. Lord, help me get a stickers. It's time to pray some great, big, crazy prayers. Some big prayers. Lord, bless me and bless me, indeed, so that when the world sees how you bless me, they'll have to say, God did it. There's no other explanation. See, we need some radical change in our life. The text we want to look at, a man by the name of J.B.S. The name J.B.S. means sorrowful or full of sorrow. Also meaning born in pain. Wow.  J.B.S. J.B.S. mother, she had experienced great pain doing the childbirth experience causing her so much sorrow and so much pain that she named her son J.B.S. or named him sorrowful. Now, the pain that his mother experienced, I don't know whether it was physical, emotional. I don't know if it was because of a divorce or rape. I don't know what it is, but what I do know is she suffered great pain and so she named her son J.B.S. The truth is, is that the name of J.B.S. is showing us that not every man and woman in life, not every man and woman, that their path is smooth. That's not the case. But the beautiful thing about that is God brought some beauty, some beauty out of a difficult, a bad situation. So we learned that even in a bad situation, beautiful things can happen as a butterfly comes out of a cocoon. I don't know if you ever had an opportunity to look at that and study there, but we did when I was in school. I don't know if they do that now, but a cocoon is ugly. It looks like a big peel or seed or something and fuzzy and ugly, but on the inside God is producing a beautiful butterfly. And the thing is I found it interesting as we studied that they said you can't help a butterfly out of an ugly cocoon because if you do you will stop and impede its growth and see when it's struggling to get out it's developing muscles so that eventually it will be able to fly. And if you help a butterfly out of the cocoon chances are it will never fly because it will never develop. And so God sometimes allows us to go through some ugly situations and we want mama to deliver us and daddy to deliver us and my great uncle to deliver us. But if you will stay in the fire it will build some strength in your body. The same is true in the spirit. If you will stay in you will develop some spiritual muscles that you'll be able to fight the devil when you come out. You'll come out of a bad situation beautiful but able to fight for yourself. I come from a big family.  If it's an unfair fight we'll jump in but if it's fair fight oh you got to fight for yourself. But God is able to do marvelous things in difficult situations so the problematic beginning of your life story doesn't have to determine the end of your story. And the name that people call you doesn't necessarily mean that's who you are. See when I was growing up some people called me ugly and crazy. They just called me bozo because of my big nose I guess. See but what people call you you don't have to be tied into what they say. Write this down.  Now the beautiful thing about it he is able to change the narrative. God changed Abraham to Abraham the father of many nations. God changed Jacob my father's name from trickster and supplanner to Israel. I like to say that Israel a prince with God. God changed Saul from a persecutor and killer of the saints his name to Paul the writer of the majority of the New Testament. What I'm saying to you if you will let him if you'll let God he will change you and mold you and make you to suit his own purpose. So the Bible says all of us have sinned come short of the glory of God all of us have sinned and none of us deserve the goodness of God none of us deserve the spiritual upgrade from God none of us can earn the spiritual upgrade for God. We don't have enough money it's only because of the God's grace that he wants to take you to another level. He wants to bless you this is a new day this is a new year this is a new season you should expect for God to take you higher higher he should take you higher he should give you a spiritual upgrade he should change some things and move some things and bless some things it's time for a blessing it's time for a blessing to him the natural the best that we can do if we get on an airplane or maybe we go to a hotel we can ask for an upgrade but it's up to the person in charge to determine whether or not you get an upgrade but in the kingdom of God an upgrade is simply the grace of God he says not that you deserve it not that you found it it's simply because of grace my unmerited favorite if you will that I want to take you to another level I want to bless you in a way that I have never blessed you before I want to take you higher in me and deeper in me and wider in me that I can accomplish what I'm trying to do in you and through you see God wants to bless you but he wants to bless you to be a blessing for you and somebody else see he blesses us to be a blessing to the people that are around us if you look in the bible almost every miracle he never gave the person just enough but he gave them enough in an overflow to be a blessing for somebody else so God is saying it's time it's time it's it's time for an upgrade in your life it's time for you to let me do what I want to do in your life it's time to let me change some things in your life it's time to let me open up some doors in my life in your life it's time for you to believe for an upgrade say upgrade say upgrade upgrade David said the only explanation for my behavior is I was shaping in sin I was born in iniquity and in sin did my mother conceive me see we are sinful by nature I have a granddaughter she's so five years old and the other day she was over to my house and she did something that my wife called her and the first thing she says I didn't do it she lied when nobody else in the room but her and my wife she had to do it see we are sinful by nature you don't have to teach your children to sin I know you think your children are wonderful and all that but baby let me tell you when you're not there they lie but I do anything because I know what I did soon as my mother left the room and said oh lord it's only cracking down baby my mother she used to beat me one time she gave me a beating she found out she was well I beat you for the stuff you got away with when I wasn't around I said that ain't right that ain't right that ain't fair don't beat me on credit beat me on cry I had to remember that I don't have to remember that but then David asked said God's creating me a clean heart see what's not there I don't have it by myself nobody said who can know the heart is desperately wicked he said creating me God a clean heart I need a change in my heart a change in my mind a change in my life and then he said renewing me a right spirit Lord make me better Lord bless me Lord give me a spiritual upgrade in my walk in my talk how I live my life see Lord I need to be better I'm thankful for where I am but I'm not satisfied to stay where Lord make me better for the kingdom better for my family better for my wife better for my children better for my neighbors better turn in your bibles if you will to first chronicles chapter four first chronicles chapter four we're gonna look at verse nine and 10 it says that J. Bass was more honorable than his brother and his mother called his name J. Bass saying because I bore him in sorrow and J. Bass called on the god of Israel saying oh that thou would bless me and bless me indeed and enlarge my coast and that thy hand might be with me your hand would be on me as that would keep me from evil that it may not grieve me it says and God granted him that which he requested so it says that J. Bass was more honorable than his brother J. Bass was a man of integrity I was looking on Facebook the other week and a young man he didn't proclaim to be saved he didn't proclaim to be a Christian he didn't claim anything but he says I have noticed in these last few years that people that say they are people of God and Christians they want to be righteous and they want to be ratchet that's what I said this is a young man and like I said he didn't profess to be saved he said they want to be ratchet I mean righteous and ratchet he said they want to be righteous and holy on Sunday but on Saturday night they won't drop it like it's hot and twerk all over the building see that cannot happen God said be ye holy for I am holy so either you are holy or you are ratchet you can't be saved and unsaved at the same time oxymoron thank you sir we might just take the oxy I would say that makes you a moron I'm sorry I'm not supposed to say stuff like that but out of a bad situation that J. Bass was born into the next thing he says and he was an honorable man that is amazing and so J. Bass was born into a difficult situation difficult birth his start was bad but the next thing he says about J. Bass is that J. Bass was a man a prayer because J. Bass called on the Lord so J. Bass prayed to the one and only true and living God of Israel not Buddha not Muhammad not Krishna but he prayed to the living God and he prayed oh that's our word bless me and bless me indeed somehow J. Bass knew I started out in a bad situation but God wants to bless me so I'm gonna ask God bless me and bless me indeed you need to ask God bless me God and bless me indeed not just a little bit but bless me indeed so the world will say wow bless me indeed and I'm paraphrasing he said that Lord calls my life to account for more than what it would have without you I tell people we have what I call the God factor that God is living in us and with us and he causes us to do things that we never could have accomplished without him we he causes us to do things that are by nature supernatural we didn't do it but he did it because but because he's with us he does it through us and we give God the glory he says in Lord my boundaries or the fear of my experience both in the natural realm and in the spiritual realm Lord increase my capacity to shine for you increase my ability for people to look at me and say you're one of those God men I've had that happen pretty much all my life from a teenager I went out one time witnessing and I knocked on the door and this lady opened up the door she fell back she said wow I see God all over you that's the Bible I said show you right not excited I said show you right but see what I'm saying is there is an aura about us when we belong to Jesus I can walk up and down the streets in overhauls raggedy clothes I wouldn't say my hair not comb but I ain't got no hair anymore my chin not comb and people will say good afternoon Reverend and I'm like we're in the world did they get that see that's God in us the hope of glory see the world is waiting to see God in you expecting to see God in you hoping to see God in somebody because that gives them hope I might be able to connect with this God and so we have the God factor he says Lord increase the fear the the the the the spirit of fear of my influence with people and then he said Lord keep your hands on me anoint me for your service it's something about the anointing of God that is extraordinary years ago one of the pastors at one of the churches I was at they sent they said brother Ross it was up in pastors and brother Ross we have a sister in Los Angeles that needs we need you to go and pray for her and so I said yeah okay no problem and my wife and I went to the hospital when I walked in the room pastor Bobby I said what in the world are they trying to do they sent me to pray for this woman and they're gonna say Ross went and pray for her and she died I didn't have no faith about nothing I knew not to speak against the Holy Ghost so I said Lord do whatever you do and do it quickly and then I said Lord pull her through I don't know what you're gonna pull her through to death or pull her through life but whatever you do you do it about a month later I was at church going around for offering and this one was she was and it's a huge church and she's waving calling my name I'm saying who is this brother Ross and I was and I'm smiling like I knew who she was but I have a clue who she was and I got next to her she said it's me remember you and your wife came and prayed for me I said oh my god I thought you died I didn't say it out loud but that's what I was thinking and she the Holy Ghost the anointing the anointing destroys the yoke the anointing opens the door the anointing will make a way out of nowhere the anointing will raise up somebody from the dead the anointing will heal bodies and he said keep your hand on me anoint me for service then he said keep me from evil in my words in my thoughts and in my deeds we have to ask the Lord you help me in what I say what I look at what I listen to what I speak how I behave when nobody is watching that's called integrity I remember one time the Lord was speaking to me he was trying to get me to get ready to do some things and he says now there's some things in your life you need to change and I'm going to give you time to change it he said and you can change it in front of the curtain or behind the curtain he said but make no mistake about it I will see to it that you change and I chose Pastor Bobby to get myself together behind the curtain see I had the Lord it embarrassed me a few times in front of the curtain in front of thousands of people and I said oh my God but Lord keep evil from me for my thoughts and cause me not to grieve the spirit of God that will cause grief to come into my life Wednesday night bishop he talked to us about when we miss it when we sin the chastising of the Lord he will chastise us for our benefit he we will put ourselves in a situation that will cause us

HELLO ROLL! HELLO ROLL WHAT? I haven't yet recorded yet. The unboxing video, we've got something very special today, it has been eight years, I think, since Jurassic World released, and with it came one of the biggest villains of the franchise, that being a manufactured creature called Indominus Rex. But if we remember back to those dark days in 2015, Hasbro had the Jurassic World license, and with it they created some of the worst abominations ever put to plastic. Roll the footage. It was bad, is an understatement, and it almost made me completely give up on the Jurassic toy collecting scene in general, because it was blatantly obvious that they were not putting any effort or thought, care, in other words, into the franchise, and it kind of sucked. And there was one of the reasons, anyway, there's a lot to go into an unpack, but today, eight years later, we have a reimagining of sorts of that Indominus Rex. Throw it to me Whitney! It's that, I'm not going to catch it. Call me a quarterback, but give us nothing. There it is, the massive Indominus Rex. Why do I call it a reimagining? Well, all I have to do is click one button and you'll be teleported back to 2015. Which one is it? Is it just this one? Okay, well, that's kind of what I was expecting to happen, but not really. I wanted the other one. Wait, do you not? Wait, was it just me or did this thing ever glow red? Is it not like a pain button? Okay, never mind. Well, I thought it glowed red, but apparently it glows green. So if you remember, the original Jurassic World Hasbro Indominus Rex glowed red when you pressed it.  Now things age poorly. But this one isn't the first time we've done an Indominus Rex, but I think it is the first time they've made an Indominus Rex with the same lighting feature that the original one had. So without further ado, let's get it out of the box. You took my knife. I've told you about this. My knife. You get to keep the toast. I get the knives. I need the early safety equipment. I am a doctor. The Indominus Rex and it looks glorious. I love Indominus Rex. Right. So first things first, how does it look? Looks really good. I'm not going to lie. It's still got that kind of Mattel pastel look. A lot of these dinosaurs have it. I would have preferred if it was maybe a little bit more brighter white or something. I don't know. Or maybe a bit similar to the ILM Indominus Rex. Give it a bit more detail rather than just it's pastel gray. But here we are. Yes, Whitney. Look at its toenails. It has painted toenails. Rejoice. Well, don't shake your head.  There we go. But it doesn't have painted fingernails. So I can only give it half points. But the action feature on this one is of course the tail which once you press makes a glow. I have no idea where this came from with Indominus Rex. I mean it glowed red in the original one. And I thought that was to do with Claire who throws the flare and that lights up the Indominus Rex. So the T-Rex sees it and that's why it's red. But now at this point either not even Mattel knows why it glows. So they just made it green and I think that's probably the case. Not even there, sure why it glows. But we're going to make it glow. If anything it should have been red. Maybe it's just eating a disco ball or some Christmas lights. Something like that. But can it swallow anything? There is no way it can swallow something. I'm pretty sure there was an Indominus Rex that we unboxed on the channel too long ago. They could eat things whole. I mean if we look at the sculpt it's great. It's got the sort of I don't know what you call these things. Exodus. It's got scales. It's got warty little features. It's got some nice rubber bits for the back of its quills there. They're not solid plastic. So something like that just adding a little bit of attention to detail is quite nice. And I appreciate it. I do like that you can twist its head. So if it bites something like oh wait for it. You know the whole reason why dinosaurs are in our world and the Indominus Rex even got created in the first place really. Beside Henry Wu. And then we can twist it.  Can you hold it though is the question. It's not King Kong James. No he picks up people. The Japanese guy from the ACU. And he was like it could come off large.  But look at that. He can hold it. Funny he could bite her at the same time. But you know what. If you're looking for an Indominus Rex model or toy. This is a great one for a project for painting. It's a great one because it has that really cool light up feature. Its sound effects are really nice. The sculpts very accurate. In all intensive purposes. It's a solid solid Indominus Rex. I can't lie. Now with that being said. How about we look at something that didn't really need to exist. And when I was buying this. I saw it and went. Why? Why are we doing this? I have no idea. Bring out desert T-Rex. Ready? Ready? Ready? It's not going to hit the Indominus Rex. I'm going to catch it. Throw it up high. I'll grab it from the air. There it is. The T-Rex. Another one. Another one. I don't know why. I don't know how. I don't know who. I don't care. It's another T-Rex. Yet another T-Rex. And you might be mistaken in thinking. That this one is very similar to the legacy one. Which was basically the cheapest plastic you could find. The cheapest paint job you could find. And a clip in tail. However. This has a little secret. It's electronic. And it's still in the box. Which we're going to fix. Like that. There you go. Magic knife. What can I say? Anyway. Here it is. A desert T-Rex. I mean it comes with some interesting capture gear. So you can put this around the muzzle of the T-Rex. I'm assuming this is where it goes. Oh that's interesting. Yeah. Okay. So you can undo it. And then you can wrap it around the T-Rex. The Baby Bonner T-Rex. Right. There you have it. Splinter Cell. The T-Rex. With a bionic eye. You can see through the walls. Not only have we got that. We've got painted toenails. Look at that. Anyway. So I mean it's another T-Rex. It's pretty much the same sculpt. I don't know how they keep getting away with this. They can't keep getting away with this. But they do. And they will forever do it. But this thing actually has a different kind of... T-Rex is not impressed. It actually has a different action feature. And that's this thing on the back. And it makes it do this. Dino Dad's party. So it has this weird feature. Well not only does it open its mouth. But it twists its head. So if we push it down a little bit. It does like a little snap. And you can kind of do that without causing any sound effect there. Which is kind of okay. But then if you push it a little bit more. It does like this double snap. Oh I thought I broke it there. Okay it doesn't seem to be doing it as well as it was before. To do with this. Okay so it kind of restricts it if you put this thing on it. And then if we take it off. Yeah oh that is very interesting. Also you've got some different sound effects of the T-Rex. Which is quite nice. You don't have the classic roll. Which you kind of do. But it's it's sort of short snippets of the T-Rex. Which is kind of what you want. Like that. It's not like that. Friggin that goes on forever. It's just like one roll. And that one. That's quite nice. I like that. It's being tormented by souls of the previous murdered people he's eaten. So it's an interesting little mechanic that they've got there. I honestly wouldn't recommend picking this thing up. It's just a weird one. We've got plenty of T-Rex's. If you want something that looks like this. There's a million one T-Rex's out there that do this. Just they don't do a little twist to the side I don't think. Maybe they do twist to the side. But maybe they don't bite. I don't know. There's so many T-Rex's. It's hard to keep track of if I'm honest. There you go. Get a good look at that. Right. Indominus Rex's. Which isn't on the top. And it's actually on his leg. But did they put it in? Yeah. Yeah they did. Okay never mind. For some odd reason. The Indominus Rex wearing the headgear. Actually kind of works. As opposed to the T-Rex. It just kind of fits the weird edge lord aesthetic. So there you have it guys. Which did you prefer? Do you prefer the Indominus Rex? Or for some odd reason.  Right give the Indominus Rex a 9 out of 10. There's only the coloring could be better. Gave it a 9 out of 10? But yeah look it's got all the articulation. It can hold something. It can bite. It has a really cool glow feature. That's really cool. It like strobes and it goes through. It can also twist. So it's a bit like the Thresher T-Rex. Or Thresher T-Rex from The Lost World in 1998. So there's so many cool features with this thing. It's just missing a little bit of detail. I'd like it if it was a different kind of color. Or you know just not a pastel. I really don't like the pastel aesthetic that Mattel goes for. And as far as this T-Rex goes. We'll give it a 6. Would you be enjoying this video guys? Leave a like and until next time. I'll see you guys later. Oh bye bye. Who's mechanism will give out first is the question. You know what it is? It's like when Chihuahuas go at it when they're attacking each other. And they're like ahhhhhh.


Let's summarize the female reproductive system. It starts with the ovaries, which creates the excels. We have two of them. And when we are young, we have a lot of immature excels, but once we become old enough, once we hit puberty, then these excels start maturing and we get about one excel every month. Of course, the ovaries are also responsible for the secondary sex hormones. All right, once the excels are created, where does it go? It goes into the fallopian tube. The fallopian tube's job is to start pushing the egg all the way into this sac-like structure, which is called the uterus. This is where the baby usually grows and gets all the nutrition and everything that is necessary.  So these are the major parts of the reproductive system. All right, now let's look at what happens once the eggs are formed inside the ovaries. Once the eggs are formed, once it becomes fully mature, it goes into the fallopian tube and the fallopian tube starts pushing it towards the uterus. And guess what? The uterus also starts preparing for a fertilization. And the way it does that is that its lining starts becoming thicker with a lot of blood over here. The whole idea is that if fertilization happens, then it requires a lot of nutrition. The baby that will eventually grow requires a lot of nutrition and therefore it's preparing for it. What happens next? Well, what happens next really depends upon whether fertilization happens or not. So it really depends upon whether there was sexual intercourse and whether there were sperms over here. So let's first look at what happens when there aren't any sperms over here. If there aren't any sperms, then this particular Excel cannot travel a lot. It will disintegrate after a few days. So that Excel will be gone. And now since the body understands that there was no fertilization, there is no point of having this thick blood lining. And so the body gets rid of it. And this is basically your menstrual cycle. And that's why you have a menstrual cycle pretty much every month because you have one Excel happening, one Excel is being pushed into the fallopian tube every single month. And whenever there are no fertilizations, you have this thing, this lining gets shed off. But now let's think about the other case. What happens if there are sperms over here? Then if the sperms travel all the way up over here, then their fertilization can happen. Then what happens is the sperm unites with the Excel's to form what we call a zygote. A zygote is a cell that is formed after the unification of the sperm cell and the Excel. Once the zygote is formed, no other sperm cells will be able to penetrate into any other egg. I mean, sometimes it's possible that you would have two eggs and twins are possible.  And now what happens is that that zygote starts getting multiplied. So the cells, one cell becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight and so on and so forth and so forth. And eventually by the time it comes into the uterus, you have like lots and lots of cells and it gets implanted over here. This ball of cells is now what we call an embryo.  This is the cell that if this is the ball of cells that eventually becomes a baby. But here's a question. For this embryo to start growing into a baby like a full blown human being, it requires a lot of things like oxygen, it requires nutrition, it's blood needs to get filtered and all of that. How does your body take care of it? Well, this is where a specialized tissue comes into the picture. So here's an example of what happens maybe after a few months once the baby has grown. A specialized tissue is formed inside the uterus which is called the placenta. Now it looks a little complicated but here's how to think about the placenta. The placenta has two sets of blood vessels.  And what her blood vessels does is that it, you know, puts the blood into this pool over here. You can kind of see there's a pool of blood over here. So it puts like rich oxygen, rich nutrition, rich blood over here. And this is the baby's blood vessels. The baby's blood vessels will simply start, you know, using diffusion, start collecting the oxygen, starts dumping or carbon dioxide into it, starts collecting the nutrition, starts dumping all the waste products into it. And that's how the baby starts getting nutrition from her mother or his mother and all the oxygen from the mother.  And that's how the maternal blood vessels keeps on recycling and giving this fresh blood. And the baby's blood vessels starts sucking all the nutrients and all the oxygen. But remember, the blood never mixes, right? The blood from the mother doesn't go into the baby's blood vessels. It doesn't. It just comes very close for that diffusion can take place. And for the sake of increasing the diffusion rate, you can see the villi-like structures are over here. So that increases the surface area. So this is how placenta is a pretty cool organ, which makes sure that the two bloods, maternal blood and the baby bloods do not mix, they do not come into contact with each other, but ensures that it comes very close to each other so that diffusion can happen and so the mother can provide all the nutrition and all the stuff that is needed for her baby.
