The enemy wants you to forget that the Holy Spirit gives to you dominion, power, and authority. You have been rescued from the kingdom of darkness. Acts chapter 26 verse 18 says this, To open their eyes, so they may turn from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan to God. Then they will receive forgiveness for their sins and be given a place among God's people who are set apart by faith in me. You've been snatched from the kingdom of darkness. You've been set free by the power of the Holy Spirit. Now, even though we recognize that God has given to us dominion, not through us, but through his Son, even though we recognize that we have that, we don't always see the manifestation of that dominion in our everyday lives. We know in our minds and our hearts and our spirits that God has given us the victory, that we have been delivered, that we are children of the most high, that we do walk in his authority because of the power and the presence of the Holy Spirit within us. But it seems sometimes that what we experience in everyday life doesn't seem to align with what we see in Scripture. We know in Scripture, the Bible says Ephesians 2,2, wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world. According to the Prince of the power of the air, the Spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience. Notice here that the Scripture tells us that it was in times past that we walked according to that power, to that spirit of this world. Now, as believers, we walk according to the Holy Spirit. We are of a new kingdom. Colossians 1,13 says, who hath delivered us from the power of darkness and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son. That is past tense. He hath delivered us. We are delivered. We are set free. So the question is how now do we walk in that dominion and power? We're going to get deep into the Word to talk about this dominion. I'm going to go through several Scriptures.  Write this in the comment section, Jesus is Lord. If you believe he has all power, all authority, all dominion, then write Jesus is Lord. If you believe you are seated with him in heavenly places, then write Jesus is Lord. Make that a public declaration. Jesus is Lord. Let's take a look now at the fall of Satan because in order to understand this spiritual conflict, this war being waged for dominion within the earth, we have to look back at the beginning. Revelation chapter 12 verses 7 through 9 says this, then war broke out in heaven, Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was there a place for them in heaven any longer. The great dragon was cast out that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. So Satan rebels against God with his minions, and obviously he's defeated. I don't even know if we should necessarily refer to this as a spiritual struggle, because this was more of an extermination. The enemy didn't even stand a chance. It was an easy win for the kingdom of heaven. Now, the question becomes, when did this occur? Because we know that Satan was banished from heaven, but when did this happen? Because in establishing the when, we get clues into the why. When we can see clearly the timeline of how this all occurred, then we begin to understand what was the catalyst for the enemy rebelling against God. We know that this was definitely after the creation of the earth. We know that Satan felt after the creation of the earth. Though it might seem obvious, I need to point out to you the fact that Revelation chapter 12 verse 9 says that the enemy was banished from heaven, cast out and sent where? To the earth. Tell me in the comment section. He was sent to the earth. Now, maybe silly to say, but in order for the enemy to be banished to the earth, the earth had to already exist. And so we have that clue. We know that this happened after the creation of the earth. And I believe this happened also after the creation of man. Genesis chapter 1 verse 31, we see that the scripture says that the Lord looked down at his creation and he saw that it was good, complete. He would not have called it good had there been a fallen creation running around within the earth. The earth as a whole, everything at that point was good. So I believe that the enemy fell sometime after the creation of man. We know that Jesus, of course, speaks to witnessing this occur in Luke chapter 10 versus 17 through 19. The 70 returned with joy saying, Lord, even the demons are subject to us through your name. He said to them, I saw Satan as lightning fall from heaven. Look, I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Now we look at Isaiah chapter 14. Go there. Isaiah 14, I'm going to read verses 12 through 16. And we're going to see a prophetic parallel. Isaiah giving the king of Babylon a warning from the heavenly throne. And in this warning, we see, as I said, a prophetic parallel. The prophet is warning the king that he is like unto Satan. And so in this prophetic warning, we see, yes, that warning, but we also see a picture being painted, giving us a little bit more detail as to what happened during that rebellion. Isaiah 14, 12 through 16. How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning? How art thou cut down to the ground, which didest weaken the nations? For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God. I will sit also upon the mount to the congregation in the sides of the north. I will ascend above the heights of the clouds. I will be like the most high. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit, that they that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee. And consider thee, saying, is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms? Now again, this is a warning from Isaiah the prophet to the king of Babylon. But in this warning, that king of Babylon is being compared to Satan. And in that comparison, that prophetic comparison, we see that Satan had it in his heart that he would ascend into heaven. He wanted to usurp the divine authority that only the heavenly Father carried. Now we see another prophetic parallel given to us this time giving us insight into what was going on in the Garden of Eden. Look at Ezekiel chapter 28 verses 12 to 14. And this is Ezekiel's warning, a message to the king of Tyre. Son of man, sing this funeral song for the king of Tyre. Give him this message from the sovereign Lord. You were the model of perfection full of wisdom and exquisite in beauty. Now here's how we know that this king is being compared to Satan. You were in Eden, the garden of God ordained and anointed you as the mighty angelic guardian. Now, here we see that Satan had spent some time in the Garden of Eden before he experienced the fallen state. You had access to the holy mountain of God and walked among the stones of fire. You were blameless in all you did from the day you were created until the day evil was found in you. So here we see a powerful insight. Satan spent time in the Garden of Eden before his fallen state and he had access between heaven and earth. Now we know this wasn't his fallen state because that's what's being lamented here, the fact that he was once so exquisite, so beautiful. And he had that access to the Garden of Eden when he was in his heavenly state. Now this means again that this fall of Satan must have come after the creation of man because we know that man was created to tend to the Garden, to tend to the earth, to be a good steward of the creation. And then we see the picture fully forming. Think about this. Satan rebels against God. We know, of course, that he did Revelation 12-9 and many have said that it was his pride that caused him to rebel. Yes, it was his pride, but what was that pride focused on? What was it that put it in his mind that he could be like God? What was it that caused him to be disrupted? Think about this for all eternity if you could even make a time reference to eternity, but for the sake of communication we'll say it that way. For all of eternity Satan had served the heavenly Father, no disruptions, no issues, no problems, and suddenly something changes.  He deserves to have authority. He deserves to have power. What was it? What was the catalyst? What was the triggering event? Where did Satan get this idea? He could be like God. Let me know if you know it in the comment section. Where did he get this idea that he could be like God? Genesis 126 gives us the answer. And God said, let us make man in our image after our likeness and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over the cattle and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. Satan saw the nature of God in man. I'm not saying man is God. I'm saying that God breathed his spirit into man. God gave to man dominion. God made man a partner in the earth. Satan sees this and you can imagine that this exquisite, angelic, beautiful creation was filled with pride when he saw that man, not he, but man was given dominion and authority. It was at this moment that I believe that Satan hadn't entered in his heart that he should be like God, that he should be in charge. I believe that Satan fell not just because of his pride, but because of his jealousy for what God gave to you. You saw that dominion and power being handed over to man. I'm sure he thought of us as a lowly creation, even as far back as then. Watch what happens here. Let's read again, Revelation chapter 12. Let's read verses 7 to 8 and watch this with fresh eyes. We read this, then war broke out in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was there a place for them in heaven any longer. The great dragon was cast out, that ancient serpent called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world. He was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. Well, who was in charge in the earth? It was man. So in order to humble Satan as a part of his punishment, Satan was forced to go under the dominion of man since the beginning. And so he looks and he sees this isn't right. I should be in charge. He rebels against God, wants to usurp that authority. God punishes him, sends him to the earth where man has dominion, where man is ruling and reigning, where man is acting partner of God, where man is to steward creation. That's what happened in the heavenly realm. That's what happened in the earth. And so there's been this power struggle ever since then. Satan, having always looked down upon us because of his jealousy for what God gave to us, and then trying to usurp what God gave to us by way of rebellion. Now in a moment, I want to talk to you about how man lost that dominion, how Christ regained that dominion, and how you can walk in that dominion because of who you are in Christ. But first, I want to mention that my book, Holy Spirit, The Bondage Breaker, Experience Permanent Deliverance from Mental, Emotional and Demonic Strongholds is available now at bondagebreaker.com. In this book, I talk about experiencing permanent deliverance. Many of us have sought freedom in certain areas that we've struggled with for years, and it seems sometimes that we get set free, maybe for a couple of weeks, maybe for a few months, and then the trouble starts to come back again. I want to show you how to get to the problem at its very root that it might forever be done away with, and that you might walk in freedom and power and authority and victory all the days of your life. Also in this book, I cover in greater detail what I'm covering here, the fall of Satan and dominion. I also answer, some of you may know what this is, some of you may not. I also talk a little bit about the gap theory. Some people say, well, wasn't there a creation before Adam and Eve, and we dispel that myth, at least superficially, so that the point can stand that you might see what was happening in the heavenly realm. So you can get that at bondagebreaker.com. Now let's take a look at the fall of man. So Satan is banished to the earth. We have some clues as to when this happened because we read the Genesis account, we read the prophetic parallels, and this place is the fall of Satan sometime after the creation of man. Now, Satan knew that he could not ascend any longer. Why? Because he was in a fallen state, he had rebelled, and now he's in a fallen state, and he can't recover from that. So his only hope at gaining dominion over man wasn't that he might again ascend to power. Satan's only hope at gaining dominion over man was that he might get man to rebel and therefore fall. Genesis 2, 15 through 17, the Lord God placed man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the Lord God warned him, you may eat, you may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden, except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.  So here we see that God places these trees, and one of them, of course, we know is the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. One of them we know is a tree of life. And God tells them you're not to eat to the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Now, some might look at this and say, well, it seems to me that God set Adam and Eve up for failure. After all, if they didn't have the knowledge of good and evil before they ate of the tree, isn't that somewhat of a catch-22? In other words, don't eat of the tree, but you have to eat of the tree to know that it's wrong. Well, that's not exactly what's happening here. You see this phrase, the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, is what we call Amerism. And Amerism is, as I have written here, Amerism is a rhetorical term for a pair of contrasting words or phrases, such as near and far, body and soul, life and death, used to express totality and completeness. Now, you can see, for example, a series of Amerisms and wedding vows, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health. In other words, you're saying, no matter what the circumstance, I'm going to be committed. So if I say I searched near and far, I'm saying I searched everywhere. If I say welcome ladies and gentlemen, then I'm welcoming everyone. So Amerism, again, contrasting words to express completeness, totality. So this phrase, good and evil, it was a tree of the knowledge of good and evil, is basically telling us that this was an actual literal tree, and when they ate of this fruit, they were given vast amounts of knowledge. It's not as though that they didn't know right and wrong before eating of that fruit. It's just that this fruit would give to them vast amounts of knowledge. Again, it's Amerism, the knowledge of good and evil, and everything in between. You get lots of knowledge, but they already had the conscience. They already knew right and wrong. Why? Because they knew God was good, and if you know God is good, then you know by comparison what is not good. So Adam and Eve weren't ignorant. They knew what they were doing was wrong, and this tree didn't give them the knowledge of whether or not they were doing something wrong. Rather, this tree gave them vast amounts of knowledge. So again, Amerism used to express totality, telling us that this tree, this fruit, would give to them a vast amount of knowledge, worldly knowledge, if you will, or knowledge about the earth and so forth. Now this is where Satan begins to tempt them. Remember, he's banished to the earth. He's now under their dominion, and he wants to regain dominion over them, or he wants to gain dominion over them, I should say. But he knows he cannot ascend to a higher place, so he has to get them to come down to a fallen state. And this is his motive here that we see in Genesis 3, beginning at verse 1. The serpent was the shrewdest of all the wild animals the Lord God had made. One day he asked the woman, did God really say, you must not eat the fruit from any of these trees in the garden? Of course we may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, the woman replied. It's only the fruit from the tree in the middle of the garden that we are not allowed to eat. God said, you must not eat it or even touch it.  You will not die, the serpent replied. So notice here, first the serpent questions the word, and then he contradicts the word. So when Satan's trying to gain dominion over you, the first thing he'll get you to do is question the word.  The areas in our lives where we aren't experiencing dominion are areas of great deception. All spiritual bondage is rooted in spiritual deception. All spiritual defeat comes from spiritual deception. Defeat comes from deception. And if you walk in truth, then you have dominion. This is why the enemy wants you to first question the word. The moment he causes you to question the word, now you're becoming vulnerable to his lies and his contradictions of the word that place you under deception that put you under different dominion. So you will not die, the serpent replied to the woman.  The woman was convinced. She saw that the tree was beautiful and its fruit looked delicious and she wanted the wisdom it would give her. So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband who was with her and he ate it too. At that moment, their eyes were opened and they suddenly felt shame at their nakedness. So they sewed fig leaves together to cover themselves. Now it's not that they were just suddenly ashamed of their nakedness for the sake of the nakedness itself, rather it's that they became a fallen creation. And in that fallen state suddenly their nakedness became something about which they should feel shame. But before then they were living in God's perfection, unbroken fellowship. They were not in a fallen state. They were living as God intended them to live. They were existing as God created them to exist. And so now they sin and they experience a fallen state and in their fallen state their nakedness became shameful because their beings had changed. They were different now. Genesis 3, 22 through 24. Then the Lord God said, look the human beings have become like us knowing both good and evil. And again that's the Marism. They have vast amounts of knowledge. What if they reach out, take fruit from the tree of life and eat it? Then they will live forever. So the Lord God banished them from the Garden of Eden and he sent Adam out to cultivate the ground from which he had been made. After sending them out the Lord God station, mighty cherubim, to the east of the Garden of Eden. And he placed a flaming sword that flashed back and forth to guard the way of the tree of life. Now this may seem like God is being cruel. Some might see it that way if they don't understand God's nature. But in fact it was God's mercy that kept Adam and Eve out of the garden. Why? Think about this. Adam and Eve after they had eaten the fruit from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil had vast amounts of knowledge. So imagine this. They were existing in a fallen state with vast amounts of knowledge. What were to happen if Adam and Eve existing in a fallen state with vast amounts of knowledge were they to eat of the tree of life? Well now they live eternally. And so man would have existed had Adam and Eve been allowed to eat of the tree of life after having eaten the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Adam and Eve would have existed forever in a fallen state with vast amounts of knowledge. That's just a recipe for disaster. It would have sealed their fate. So God in his mercy keeps them from eating of the tree of life. Now we understand that Christ regains this dominion by coming to earth as a man. Now Adam took from a tree and lost dominion. Jesus gives himself upon a tree and gains dominion. Adam is created to steward the earth, be a partner of God in the earth, and through his sin experiences a fallen state. Now Jesus comes, lives a perfect sinless life, sinless perfection, not one mistake. And in that perfection regains dominion power and authority in the earth. So Adam gave up dominion as a man. Christ reclaims that dominion as a man against. Truly God truly man. There was never a moment that Jesus wasn't God so don't hear what I'm not saying. Jesus was truly God truly man. Start to finish no question about it. Don't ever question the divinity of Christ for all time forever, then now and into the future, all time for all eternity. Jesus is God and there never was an instance where it was otherwise. But again, he came to earth in the form of a man that he might fulfill these obligations that Adam had lapsed on. So Philippians 2 9 through 11 says this, therefore God elevated him to the place of highest honor and gave him the name above all other names that at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth. And every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God, the Father. Now here we see that Jesus now has a name above every name. He regains dominion through sinless perfection, sacrifice on the cross defeats death in the resurrection. And now he holds dominion power and authority. It's not in our hands anymore. It's in his hands. See if we were holding the keys to authority and dominion ourselves in our sin, we would give those keys up again. But because Christ came and lived a sinless, perfect life, now he holds the keys to dominion. He in his earth suit, if you will, he came in the incarnation. Now in man's place takes that dominion back and those keys are secured forever in the hands of Jesus and no one can snatch those keys from his hands. Ephesians 1 19 through 23, I also pray that you will understand the incredible greatness of God's power for us who believe him. This is the same mighty power that raised Christ from the dead and seated him in the place of honor at God's right hand in the heavenly realms. I love this. Now he is far above any ruler or authority or power or leader or anything else, not only in this world, but also in the world to come. God has put all things under the authority of Christ and has made him head over all things for the benefit of the church and the church is his body. It is made full and complete by Christ who fills all things everywhere with himself. Christ is in power and we are in Christ. It's not our authority. It's not our dominion. It's not our power. It belongs to Jesus. But though Christ is the one in power, we are the ones in Christ. We stand in him, in authority, in power and dominion. It's his power, his dominion, his authority, and therefore it can never be lost. Somebody say thank you, Jesus, in the comment section. I sense a strong anointing just teaching this right now. Thank you, Jesus, for dominion, power, and authority. Thank you, Jesus, that you embarrass the powers of darkness. Thank you, Jesus, that you regained all that which was lost in the garden. Thank you, Jesus, for your sinless perfection. Thank you, Jesus, that your name is far and above every other name. Now, who are we in him? 2 Corinthians 3.15-18. Yes, even today when they read Moses' writings, their hearts are covered with that veil. Excuse me, when they read Moses' writings, their hearts are covered with that veil and they do not understand. But whenever someone turns to the Lord, now it's talking about you and me, whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. And now we can see what? For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had the veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord, who is the Spirit, makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image. So as we look at him, as we see him, we are transformed to become like him. Again, he's God, we are not. He's Lord, we are not. He's King, we are not. He has dominion, power, and authority. We do not have that on our own. We have it in him. But as we see him, as we look to him, now that the veil has been removed, when we focus our minds and our lives and everything about us on Jesus, we become like him by the Holy Spirit for where the Spirit of the Lord is. There is liberty. The Holy Spirit is all-powerful. There is no Spirit more powerful than the Holy Spirit. And by the way, his holy jealousy is agitated when we magnify demonic power and minimize his power. Let's talk less about demons and more about the Holy Spirit because that's the power that we live by. Now, I'm going to say something that may offend you, but I want you to know I'm saying it to you in love. And I'm not saying it for the purpose of offending you. I'm saying this to give you a standard to which you can aspire. And I hope that it actually inspires a faith, a hope in you to know what's available for you to claim. I'm going to say this now. If you are still bound, you are not living the Christian life. If you are still bound, you are not living the Christian life. Look at the New Testament. We do not see the New Testament church going to deliverance services constantly needing demons cast out of them. Well, first of all, Christians can't have demons. Christians cannot be possessed. We can be attacked but not possessed. You look in the New Testament, we don't see believers living from defeat to defeat. Sure, they experience persecution. Sure, they experience trials and tragedy, but they weren't living in this defeated mindset where they're just saying, oh, you know, the enemy's having his day with me. Oh, the enemy's just defeating me. Oh, you know, it's just one struggle to the next. In the New Testament church, you don't see them going from defeat to defeat or from deliverance to deliverance. They went from glory to glory. They went from deliverance to discipline to dominion. Why am I saying this? I'm saying that everything about deliverance for the believer is described as past tense in the scripture, meaning it's already been done. You've already been set free. We treat deliverance like it's a substance, like it's a liquid that, oh, I need more deliverance or I need a little bit less deliverance or, you know, I had some deliverance. I think I'm going to go for some more deliverance. My friend, deliverance is your standing in Christ. Deliverance is your position in heavenly places. Deliverance is a past tense thing that Christ already completed for you. The question is not getting more deliverance. The question is, are you actually walking in what you've already been given? You see, the enemy's only power over you is the power he can deceive you into giving to him. The enemy likes to exaggerate his power. He lies to you. And by the way, this is one of the lies that keeps believers bound. They visualize themselves just under the enemy. He's got them. He owns them. Doesn't the scripture say we've been delivered from the powers of darkness? Doesn't the scripture say we've been translated into the kingdom of light? Doesn't the scripture say that we're seated with him in heavenly places? Doesn't the scripture teach us that he has the name that's above every other name?  Yet we treat it like it's something that we have to beg for, that we have to figure out, if I could just figure out that riddle, if I can just figure out that mystery, if I can just figure out what was happening in my ancestry, my friend, it doesn't work that way. It's not like Ghostbusters. It's not like the movies. Jesus embarrassed the powers of darkness. And when you stand in Christ, you stand in that freedom. And so if you're still bound, it's because you're not walking in what he's given to you. Now, of course, I'm not saying that Christians don't need deliverance. We need deliverance from the flesh on a daily basis. We need deliverance from temptation. We need sometimes deliverance from torment. We need deliverance from deception. Sometimes we need deliverance from people who are ungodly influenced. We need to be set free from things quite often. But I'm talking to you as one who is positioned in Christ, your position. You have to know that. So you're not, you're not living to get deliverance. You're living from the place of having been delivered. And that's how you begin to walk that victory. Well, how do you do that? Well, you start to believe it.  And sometimes it's the fear of that power that he has over us, that actually causes most of our problems. It's our belief in his power over us that causes most of our problems once you begin to realize, wait a minute. No, the enemy doesn't have power over me just because something went wrong in my life. No, the enemy doesn't have power over me just because a relationship didn't work out. No, the enemy doesn't have power over me just because my business failed. Even in all these things, I'm more than a conqueror to know that those trials aren't proof that you're bound, to know that tragedy isn't proof that you're bound, to know that anything that's chaotic in your life isn't proof that the enemy's winning, because even in those things you have victory. Thank you, Jesus, for opening my eyes. Thank you, Jesus, for opening our eyes. Colossians 1, 12 to 14, let's read it again, giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us to meet, made us meet to be partakers. Listen to this, listen to this, giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light. Are we in darkness or are we in light? Light and darkness by the necessity of their very own natures cannot coexist. That's why the scripture asks, can light dwell with darkness? What does Satan have to do with Christ? Now, even though that's talking about fellowshiping with unbelievers, connecting with unbelievers, the takeaway universal application in that principle is that light and darkness cannot coexist, and light and darkness is precisely what the scripture uses to describe the powers of Satan and the power of Christ. They just don't mingle. The existence of either would mean the absence of the other. So, inheritance of the saints in light, where are you? Are you in darkness or are you in light? What does the scripture say? Right in the comments, are you in darkness or are you in light? You're in light. Who hath, past tense, delivered us from the power of darkness? What's the power of darkness? That's the devil and his demons, the kingdom of hell, and hath translated us. This is like going to a different dimension here. Hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear son. So, we're not under that jurisdiction. We've been completely removed from that jurisdiction and placed now under the dominion of Christ Jesus, in whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins. Watch this, 1 John 4-4. But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people because, watch this now.  Here, the scripture is very clear that one spirit lives in you, the Holy Spirit, and the other does not. Ephesians 2-4-6, but God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. It is only by God's grace that you have been saved, for he raised us from the dead along with Christ. Watch this now and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus. So, that's why the Bible says resist the devil and he will flee. It doesn't say resist the devil and he will fight. He's not that bold. Why? Because there's nothing he fears more than a Christian who knows who they are. That's why it says he flees. Once he sees, oh my goodness, they know the power that they have.  Oh my goodness, they recognize the authority they have in Christ. I'm out of here.   You begin to think according to the scripture, according to the truth, according to the power of the Holy Spirit. He seated us in heavenly places with him. This means Christ is in power. I am in Christ. Christ is seated in heavenly places. I am seated in Christ. When I come against the power of the enemy, it's not me coming against the enemy. It's the Christ in me. That's Christ in me. Jesus living in me by the Holy Spirit rebuking that power. When you rebuke the enemy, my friend, it's as if Jesus himself is giving that command. Somebody say hallelujah in the comment section. He seated us in heavenly places, heavenly realms, because we are united with Christ. He that is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. 1 John 5, 18. We know that God's children do not make a practice of sinning, for God's Son holds them securely and the evil one cannot touch them. I just said it here, 1 Corinthians 6, 17, but the person who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with him. John 1, 12. But as many as received him, to them gave he the power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name. That's you.   Why is it important, son of God? Because that sonship comes with inheritance. That sonship comes with authority. That sonship comes with power. That sonship comes with backing.  That's who you are when you believe you've been given the right to become a son of God. It's not my nature that I identify anymore with. It's God's nature in me that becomes my identity. It's the Holy Spirit living in me that becomes my identity. You are not your intrusive thoughts. You are not what tempts you. You are not what makes you depressed. You are not your fear or anxiety. You are not your compulsions. You are not your confusion.  You are not what your past says you are.   That's who you are. Stop identifying with that because hear me now please. This is how the enemy works. The moment you identify with those things of darkness, the moment you begin to think you're defeated, the moment you begin to think you're cursed, the moment you begin to think you're demonized, the moment you begin to think that you belong to Satan, the moment that you begin to think that you're weak and powerless and unable to respond to any of these things, that's when you begin to relinquish the power that God has given to you. Why? Because you live in guilt and shame and insecurity and because you don't know your identity now you think well I don't even deserve to use what God has given me. I don't even deserve to identify as a son of God. I rebuke the enemy.  First John 1 9, if we confess our sins he's faithful and just to forgive us our sins.  That's who you are. Your carrier of the glory to dwells in you where you step God steps. Stop chasing an atmosphere. You are one. Stop going and following signs. Signs will follow you.  When you walk into rooms conversations change. When you walk into rooms sickness starts to lose its hold. When you walk into rooms demons begin to flee. Think about the manifested power of the Holy Spirit that rested on Christ. When he would show up on the scene the demons would manifest and start screaming don't torment us. They would want to get away from him. They wanted nothing to do with him. My friend the same spirit who raised Christ from the dead dwells in you and that has the same effect on demonic powers today. They don't want to get anywhere near you when you begin to walk like God has called you to walk. We have an identity crisis. Here's the problem. Everybody's talking about the identity crisis in the world. Everybody's talking about the identity crisis in culture but there's an identity crisis in the kingdom of God where people don't know who they are who they're created to be. Now again let me tie all the threads together. I'm not saying that nothing will ever go wrong. I'm not saying you'll never face trial or tragedy or unwelcome circumstances. I'm saying even in all those things you can have perfect peace, perfect joy, perfect love, perfect spiritual stability within because no matter what happens around you greater is he within you. So the enemy saw from the beginning the dominion that God had given to us. He rebells against God out of jealousy banished to the earth under our dominion. He sees I can't get my place again. I can't ascend. I am now a fallen creation. So even though I can't ascend I can get men to descend and live in a fallen state through rebellion. So he tempts Eve. He tempts her by first questioning the word and then contradicting. Eve falls for the temptation then Adam joins. Creation falls but Christ came to redeem that. Christ came to regain that authority and in him now we have that authority. In him now we have that power. Will you be attacked? Yes. Will the enemy tempt you and try to torment you and will he try to confuse you and cause division and will he try to deceive you? Yes, yes, yes. The enemy attacks. That's why we have to put on the armor of God but you have to remember that we fight from the place of victory. The enemy fights from the desperate position of spiritual defeat. The enemy has been defeated. He made a show of these powers of darkness. He demonstrated his greatness. You are of light.   It's time you begin to think like a son of God. It's time you begin to step into that new nature that he gave you when you believed. His identity crisis has to end.  Instead of stepping into the deliverance he's already given to you by the renewing of your mind, by a lifestyle of prayer, by knowing the word, by walking in the spirit, the basics of Christianity.  You live in freedom. It's that simple. Father I pray you help them do it. Father I pray you help them do it. Help me do it too Lord. All of us. And I pray precious Holy Spirit that you would allow these truths to take deep root in our heart. Lord remove deception. Help us to begin to think like sons, not like servants. Father I thank you that you've redeemed us from the powers of darkness. I thank you that your Holy Spirit dwells in us. I thank you that you've placed us in light. Jesus I thank you.  Just receive. Father I thank you that your power is touching each life. Just take a moment now.  The flesh is trying to get out of this right now. You know why? Because prayer is the death of the flesh. And so your flesh is looking for a distraction. Say no to the flesh. Yes to the Holy Spirit. Receive this now. Thank you Lord. Power is flowing. Power from on high. Break every much. Shatter every ungodly mindset. Remind them of who they are in you. Jesus I give you the praise. Thank you that your healing virtue is flowing. Thank you that your delivering power is flowing. Receive that deliverance now in Jesus name. Receive that healing now in Jesus name. Give you praise and glory and honor. I want you to say it because you believe it. Say amen.

Welcome back to this edition of our show from Logo to Impact. Now it is India's largest car maker by volume with sales of 1.2 lakh units just last month. Maruti Suzuki has certainly been making some bold new bets in the year gone by. First with its launch of their premium sales channel NEXA and then the second bet which is a slew of new products like the Bellino and the S-Cross and of course the slightly older Celerio which has been a volume puller for the company. Joining us on the show right now is R.S. Kulsey, he's the executive director of marketing and sales at Maruti Suzuki. Great to have you with us Mr. Kulsey and welcome to this edition of our show from Logo to Impact. Why don't you start off by telling us about your new brand campaign, Aatke Zamaneki Leap for your popular hatchback the Celerio. What's the thought and the inside that's driving this campaign? Well I would like to say that Celerio lives up to its brand promise that life takes a leap in the life of the customers and Celerio has been a game changer from that point of view. We did a research into the life of the customers who are buying our cars and what we found was that the in-depth study on Celerio customer profile indicated that it is being purchased by consumers with more progressive outlook. They are open to new technologies and they believe in doing the experimentation and they love the gizmos at the same time. All this approach is reflected in the lifestyles as well and based on these customer insights in fact we wanted to design a more consumer oriented campaign talking about this evolved progressive customer mindset. Okay so what marketing mix have you opted for with this campaign Mr. Kulsey which medium is going to be the focus of your ad spends for it? Well we are going in for integrated media mix and we have two brand new campaigns which you have already seen on television the third is about to come. Okay but I have to ask you about your digital marketing how important is it for a car brand like yours to up its investments on the digital medium right now if you can walk us through some of your recent initiatives in that space? We are going in for 360 campaigns and we are giving a lot of importance to the digital media as well and other media that we are going to use is radio outdoors and the btl activities as far as digital is concerned in India today we have about 150 million people who are using the smart phones and 93% of them are on the social media and these are people who are quite tech savvy and they are the ones who would like to go in for these you know new high technology products and I would like to mention here that we created a Solario website when we launched it and it was the first of a kind approach and we received 3.2 million website visits in a short span of less than one and a half year and about two websites are happening per month in the current scenario also we went in for diesel launch you know with the live webcasts for the first time on MSN and it was viewed by six lakh people over the last two months Mr. Kalti you've had a high octane campaign for the Bellino so what kind of ad spends have been involved in this and it really gets you the kind of impact you'd aim for did it help give sales at your nexa showrooms a boost having launched nexa channel in the first phase through s cross subsequently the Bellino was the second product and it's a premium hatchback with the high technology and and excellent say fuel mileage peat petrol model or diesel model we actually went in for a big high impact campaign on this and it had its own effect so much so that in about a month's time we got 100,000 inquiries so as many customers visited our showrooms and they looked at the product they appreciated the kind of premium treatment that we had planned to give them on the nexa showrooms also today we have 35,000 bookings of Bellino which we captured in a single month so this campaign had its desired impact and the product has been liked by the customers in a big way so if you go to see this s cross and the Bellino these are your two cars that are available only in nexa showrooms but given that Maruti Suzuki has always been seen as India's quintessential mass car maker tell us if this strategy to make it exclusive worked out for you what kind of response have you received so far well I would like to say that initially we had a challenge that customers they had apprehensions about the success of nexa channel like you rightly asked and we started with 80 showrooms while we have 1700 odd existing showrooms as well so we made a hub and spoke arrangement wherein even if there is no nexa showroom in a particular place the existing showrooms can capture the inquiries from the customer and they will like to take the customer to the nexa showroom to give him that experience so I would like to say that it's not a you know this in handicap anymore and our s cross numbers are in line with our optimistic estimates as it's a crossover and Maruti Suzuki has for the first time introduced the real crossover in its portfolio and I would like to say that it's a wonderful vehicle with all the comfort and you know sophistication of a sedan and all the ruggedness and high power of an SUV and it is certainly creating a delight to the customers people are bought in bought it and moving forward we expect that this product will take off and we will certainly touch you know higher numbers I remember in one of your recent interviews you'd said that at least 50 percent of the market is still out of your purview now we're almost five months after the next initiative has started tell us if the situation has changed on the ground well I would yes yes I would like to say that our focus on the premium segment as well as the premium customers has really increased as a result of this as I mentioned earlier we have been able to get about 35,000 bookings of Baleno and we have been able to clock an average sale of s cross as well to the tune of about 3000 per month on an average so far so certainly a customer who looks forward to premium treatment at the showroom and he embraces technology he loves digital interaction he likes pampering he looks forward to a relationship manager handling all his car related requirements through a single window so this is the you know class of customers who is actually appreciating nexa and certainly it is helping us expand our market right and if you can tell us what are some of the interesting btl activities and sales promotions that you've engineered now to increase your engagement with the consumer well lot of activities and in fact we have engaged all our field teams in carrying out the btl activities some of these being we approach the corporates wherein we organize special service camps and when say monsoon season approaches we organize service camps across the country for our customers wherein we do the tire checking brake checking and as the summer season approaches we go in for air conditioner checking and we do this kind of activities to support the customers and apart from this we organize various you know vehicle display activities at the premium malls and also we had a special truck which had been designed like a typical nexa showroom it was taken from place to place wherein at the high end say malls this was showcased to the customers and this also was equipped with google glasses wherein the customer could see the showroom in its virtual form so these are some of the activities that we you know keep doing of course wali or one of the leaders in the domestic passenger vehicle market mr khalzi how have you fed in this premium segment that you're targeting that has been a bit troublesome for the brand hasn't it well i would like to say that we are gradually evolving you see we started with the desire sedan version of a3 minus segment i would like to say where the market was limited to a few thousand numbers and today we have been able to create and develop the market wherein in the entry level sedan segment we are selling close to 24 000 vehicles per month so likewise we entered into a3 premium segment a3 plus segment through sias and today we are doing more than 5000 numbers per month so we are creating segments and gradually as the market is evolving we are moving you know upwards in terms of our products mr khalzi a lot hinges on festive season sale so tell us how the festive season has been this time in terms of sales for maruti susuki well i would like to say that festival season had been very good for us and we started preparations much in advance and it started with the onam down south wherein we had very good sales and subsequently you know in the central india western india we had ganpati festival and then navratras in the northern india and diwali so if we compare festival season to festival season we had about 17 to 18 percent growth and actually as i mentioned we started preparing for this festival season and we created a lot of festivities around our products during this period we started with our wagoner in the automatic gear shift version also we launched the eltega with the hybrid version and we also brought in hybrid version on sias and we brought in say limited editions of alto ketan as well as we introduced the swift glory a special festival edition so like this we created a lot of excitement and around our products so it was the festival season sentiment supported by the strong excitement around our products which led to this kind of growth fair enough thanks very much for joining us mr kaltzi and here's wishing you all the best for the future as well thank you we'll take a quick break now but after that when we return we break down ideas latest ad campaign and also do stay with us for that rip tickling humorous ad of the week we'll be right back


Prime Minister Hon. Philip J. Pierre continues to engage St. Lucia's international partners. On February 2, the Prime Minister, along with Minister for External Affairs Hon. Alva Baptiste, held talks with France's Minister of State for Development, Francophonie and International Partnerships, Chris Soula, Zahalapolo, Minister Zahalapolo and the visiting French delegation, which included Ambassador His Excellency Francis Aitien, received updates on European-funded projects on island during high-level discussions with other senior government officials. Discussions with the French delegation at the Prime Minister's official residence at VG Castries centered on advancing cooperation on strategic developmental areas. No doubt from a historical perspective we have been tied to a common destiny and this administration and the Prime Minister in particular has always been keen on cooperating with the French as we pursue common objectives of humanity. St. Lucia and France reaffirmed their respective commitments to continue nurturing their storied diplomatic relationship and exploring avenues to enhance developmental support. I had a very fruitful meeting with the Prime Minister and we exchanged and we underlined both of us the importance of our cooperation but also our friendship. France is a Caribbean nation too and I'm happy to see the excellent cooperation between St. Lucia and Martinique and Guadeloupe and I came also to add the line that we're going to work and we're going to strengthen the regional integration.


Novak Djokovic vs Kam Nori is the first semi-final for the men at Wimbledon for 2022, and both players have had to battle their way to this semi-final stage. In the quarter-finals, Nori would take on the unseeded Goffan, and after dropping two of the first three sets, he had to fight back from the death, eventually winning in five, three, six, seven, five, two, six, six, three, seven, five to advance to his first Grand Slam semi-final. Djokovic in the quarter-finals would take on the number 10 seed and after going down two sets of love, would have to fight back from the death, eventually prevailing five, five, seven, two, six, six, three, six, two, six, two, to advance to another Wimbledon semi-final. These two have met once before, and that was at the ATP Finals last year, when Nori jumped in at the last minute and filled in, losing to Djokovic pretty badly in that one. If Nori's going to win, he has to be precise with his ground strokes, but he also has to be a little bit more aggressive than usual, because if you're just going to push the ball back to Djokovic, he can go all day, he can play 40-shot rallies if he wants to, so Nori needs to be a bit more aggressive, but also keep that precision. If Djokovic is going to win, feel like he just has to play his own game, keep the crowd out of it though, because the crowd are going to be a factor with Nori obviously being from the UK, so got to make sure he keeps his cool and doesn't get upset by the crowd not going for him. Out of the semi-finals, this is probably one of the easier ones to pick, no disrespect to Nori, I'm a big fan of his, but I think Djokovic is going to win this one in four. I give Nori a set based on the crowd, I think the crowd are going to push Nori to win a set, but I can only see Djokovic winning this one. Let me know down in the comments below, who do you think is going to win this semi-final?


to present a talk here. So, the title of my talk is symbolic powers of age ideals of weighted oriented graphs. You have already seen our talk in the same topic given by Manohar in the morning session. So, I will continue. He has already set up many things for me. So, I will first start with the definition of the symbolic power. So, in an Oetherian ring if i is an ideal then the nth symbolic power is defined as in this way where we are considering the extension of this in the localization and then contracting it back and we are varying this intersection over all the associated primes. So, this is the more general definition of the symbolic power and then there are certain properties that symbolic power satisfies. First of all that the ordinary power is always sitting inside the symbolic power and then if a is written equal to b in that case nth symbolic power is sitting inside the bth symbolic power and we have this property as well. Now, in general this ordinary power is sitting inside the symbolic power, but it may not be an equality. So, why the symbolic power is important that is because of this theorem by Nagata and Zyruski it gives you some geometrical importance why the symbolic powers are important. So, Nagata and Zyruski prove that if you are in a if you have a perfect field and i is an radical ideal in this polynomial ring in that case the nth symbolic power is nothing but the collection of all monomials all polynomials which vanish up to order in along this variety of this ideal. So, that is why symbolic powers catches more information than the ordinary powers and that is why it is important to study. So, now as the title suggests we are studying the symbolic power of weighted oriented graph. So, let me give you first some graph theoretic preliminaries for this. So, first I will talk about simple graph and then I will go into the weighted oriented graph. So, what is a simple graph? A simple graph is nothing but a ordered pair where we are having this two sets one is the set of vertices that I have denoted by v of g and e g denotes the set of edges which is nothing but the two elements subsets of this set of vertices. Now when and so in this talk what we are trying to do we have this we are trying to consider the algebraic objects coming from the graph theory. So, we start with a graph and then with that graph we will try to associate one ideal and then we will study the invariance of algebraic invariance of that ideal using the graph theoretic invariance of that graph. So, the ideal that we will study here is the age ideal. So, what is the age ideal? So, age ideal is generated if you start with a graph g then you consider first the polynomial ring in as many variables as many vertices you are having in the graph and then in that polynomial ring you define this ideal i g which is generated by the edges of this graph. So, this algebraic object we will study the properties of this ideal using the properties of the graph theoretical invariance. So, let us see one example here first. So, here this graph is this triangle x 1, x 2, x 3 it has three vertices. So, then corresponding age ideal will be generated by this three edges x 1, x 2, x 2, x 3 and x 3, x 1. So, this was the simple graph and it has the age ideal of a simple graph has already been studied a lot in the literature and many things are already known. In fact, the description of the symbolic powers are also known for some classes and regularity and all those things has been studied extensively. So, recently we are concentrating on this weighted oriented graph. So, what is weighted oriented graph? So, weighted oriented graph is a triplet where we have the set of vertices and also we have edges and then we have one function which is weight function. So, we are giving weight now to each of the vertices and not only that we have we are giving also an orientation to each of the edges. So, that is how we are considering this weighted oriented graph and then we are associating age ideal corresponding to this weighted oriented graph which is defined as x i, x j, w j, where w j is the weight of the vertex x j and this we have an orientation to this edge. So, the edge is directed from x i to x j, then we will consider the generator to be x i, x j to the power w j. So, this is the age ideal we are considering for this graph. So, let us see one example here. So, both of this graphs are basically triangle, but now in the first graph D1 you can see that I have given weights 2 to each of this vertices and I have this arrows in this particular direction. So, for the first one you can see the age ideal is generated by x 1, x 2 square as we are having an arrow from x 1 to x 2 and then we are having arrow from x 2 to x 3. So, that is why we are having the generator x 2, x 3 square and the other one we are having the arrow from x 3 to x 1. So, that is what we are getting this generator x 3, x 1 square. Whereas, in the second graph we have given this x 1, the weights of x 1 we have given 1 and in that case you can see this will be the age ideal and in this case you can see that if we change the direction, if we change the direction of the arrows or the weights of the vertices, then the age ideal changes. So, it is very much dependent on, so it is very much dependent on the arrows as well as on the weights. So, it is that is why it is difficult to study as well. Now, we will try to give simpler description of this symbolic powers. So, the description of the symbolic powers for ordinary graph was already known. So, the following theorem by Boschian in 2016, he proved that if you are in a graph and i is the age ideal and this v 1, v 2, v r are the minimal vertex cover, then this i can be written as intersection of this prime ideals where this prime ideals corresponds to this minimal vertex cover. So, this with this decomposition we see that the emits symbolic power of i has this simpler expression which is nothing but the power of the primes, emits power of the primes and their intersection. So, whatever the definition we have seen in the beginning for symbolic powers, now it simplifies if we are considering the age ideal. So, now we have seen that for ordinary graph this minimal vertex cover plays an important role in order to describe the symbolic power. So, we try to investigate what will play a role if I consider the age ideal of a weighted oriented graph. And in that case we have seen that this minimal vertex cover we have to replace with strong vertex cover of the graph and in that case. So, if we replace this minimal vertex cover with strong vertex cover then we have some kind of similar result that we were having for the simple graph. And then we Cooper in 2017 have proved that in this case also we have a simpler description of the symbolic power. So, this SS symbolic power can be written as intersection of this powers of this ideals which are coming from the basically the corresponding to the maximal strong vertex covers of this graph T. Now, the question that we are interested in this when the symbolic power and ordinary power are equal for all values of S. And for simple graph this was a famous result by Aaron Simis. He proved that the ordinary and symbolic power are equal for all is written equal to 1 if and only if G is bipartite. So, it completely classifies the class of graph for which this will be equal and this is necessary and sufficient condition also. So, then we try to investigate whether we can give some similar criteria for the age ideal of the weighted oriented graph or not. And in this direction we have first proved that if D is a weighted oriented graph such that the vertex set is a strong vertex cover in that case the symbolic power and ordinary powers are equal. But then we ask whether the converse is also true or not. And then we see that under certain condition it will be that I will come to that later. So, it is already known that if you have odd cycle present in a graph then of length 2n plus 1 in that case n plus 1 with ordinary and symbolic power are different. We see that this if this will be true in the for the age ideal of the weighted oriented graph under certain condition. So, if the vertex set of this cycle of length 2n plus 1 which is present in this weighted oriented graph satisfies this condition in that case also the similar result like the for the underlined graph will holds true for the weighted oriented graph as well. And we prove that if you your graph as every age of this weighted oriented graph lies in some induced odd cycle in that case the whole vertex set is a strong vertex cover if and only if the symbolic powers and ordinary powers are equal. We have already proved that if Vd is a strong vertex cover in this case equality holds. Now we are saying that the opposite the other direction is also true but with the condition that each age of d lies in some induced odd cycle. And as an application of this theorem we are able to see that in odd cycles complete graphs click some of finite number of odd cycles and complete graphs and complete imparted graphs in all these classes of graphs each age lies in some induced odd cycles. So, we can apply this theorem for all this class of graphs. Next we have proved that if we are having an unicyclic graph with a unique odd cycle of length 2n plus 1 in that case the symbolic powers and ordinary powers will be equal for all s greater than equal to 2 if and only if the weight of those vertices which whose degree is greater than equal to 2 has to be greater than equal to 2. In this case also this equality holds and it is an if and only if or as well. Then we also have in the further direction we have proved that previous result was for unicyclic graph and this one we have seen that if you have a naturally oriented even cycle in that case of length not equal to 4. In that case this equality holds if and only if all the vertices of D have non-trivial weights that means all the vertices of this graph has to have weight greater than equal to 2. And for length of cycle 4 in this case this will be equality if one of these conditions are satisfied either all the vertices have non-trivial weights or one vertex has non-trivial weight or only two non-consecutive vertices have non-trivial weights. Further in order to compare this symbolic power of ordinary graph and the weighted oriented graph we have used this map. So, we have defined this map from the polynomial ring to itself where V plus D is the state of vertices which are sinc. The sinc has already been defined in the talk of Manohar and U is a subset of this V plus D. In that case we are defining this map we are sending Xj to Xj if Xj does not belongs to U and Xj to Xj to the power Wj if Xj belongs to U. So, in this way what we are trying to do is that if you see that if I take my U to be equal to V plus D in that case I is the edge ideal of this weighted oriented graph and D prime becomes the underline graph and I tilde becomes the edge ideal of the underline graph. And in that case we have seen that this ordinary powers and the symbolic powers behaves in a similar way. And using this map we are able to prove that the edge ideal of the weighted oriented for the weighted oriented graph symbolic power and the ordinary power will be equal if and only if they are equal for the underline graph. And similarly using this result we are able to prove the generalization of Simi's result for weighted oriented graph. We have proved that D with a weighted oriented graph for the vertices of V plus D are sinc then G is bipartite if and only if ordinary and symbolic powers are equal for all is greater than equal to 2. So, here we need the assumption that V plus D vertices of V plus D are sinc. Then similar result of Simi's holds here as well and we have also seen that if we are in a star graph in that case also the symbolic powers and ordinary powers are equal. So, this gives the equality of symbolic and ordinary powers for certain classes of graph which sometimes gives the necessary and sufficient conditions also. And still the description of the symbolic power in general it is not known for weighted oriented graphs. And there are many questions which are still open in this area and that is all I would like to say. So, these are the references.


In this great nation of Bharat, since independence, many great things have been achieved. In the last seventy years, our businesses have grown, industry has grown. Our scientists have done remarkable achievements on the land and in the space. And above all, the life expectancy of an average Indian has gone up phenomenally. But of all these things, the most significant achievement for this nation is, our poor farmer with very minimal infrastructure has managed to provide food for over a billion people out of sheer traditional knowledge, but due to fast-depleting soil and water resources, our farmer's life is being pushed to a corner and made more and more difficult. On this day, it is time that all of us take a commitment to save the rivers of this nation, to save the water and soil of this nation. Let's rally for rivers.


This study investigated the effectiveness of Mulligan mobilization with kinesio tape, NTKT, for treating sacroiliac joint dysfunction in females. Thirty females with interior and dominant dysfunction were randomly assigned to either NTKT or Mulligan mobilization alone. After 10 days, both groups showed significant improvements in pain and disability, but the NTKT group showed greater improvement in disability than the Mulligan mobilization alone group.

And thank you very much to the audience for staying to the end and I know it's very challenging especially he didn't care So thanks a lot, and I apologize somewhat for my voice. I'm fighting with cold the last few days I hope you bear with me So I'd like to say a few words about our efforts in the last decade and Show you what you can do with a team of one or two programmers over than 70 when you have limited budgets So I started Does it work it does So so what got me into this field was some experiments in electrophysiology our colleagues at the Institute were interested in context-dependent information processing in in Rats a much sensory system. So they had an awake Immobilized rat they flicked the whiskers and they looked in the information processing in the Falamus and in the cortex in The situation where the rat was habituated or when it was awake It turned out that actually the activity in Talamus was very complex So when they did an acute experiment where they took Local potentials on the grid of four times five times seven points so 140 points and here is an example Set of results You see some example 16 potentials taken at these points and you see that there are some traps and there are some peaks Which are quite synchronized This is a consequence of the long range of the electric field. So to get this we completed the extra cellular we completed the current source density and What you see here, there are four different representations of the same slab of forebrain and in the middle you see just five consecutive coronal sections With some sinks and sources Happening about 3.2 milliseconds after deflection of whiskers, which we think is a response to a single whisker flick and this is This is not very responsive and this is 0.2 milliseconds later and you see Incoming input from multi whisker flick. So when you look at this This discurrence and these sinks and sources seem to be roughly in the right place in the right structures They are not perfectly synchronized. So you may say, okay No, maybe it's the consequence of the variability of the brains. Maybe it's just problems with the synchronization But what do you do if you have several animals and you would like to get some precise information about what's happening where? Now that was that was ten ten years ago as I say and Well, first what we need was a common reference frame, which in that case is a 3D rendering atlas. It was not available at the time We would also need a workflow for multimodal data integration So you'd have to be able to integrate two-dimensional histology data in 3D And we didn't know how to do this at the time and then could register that in common reference So well, you can't get it. You just have to do it yourself now what we found out actually was That while this time Jan Biali and his friends in Norway produced actually this excellent 3D rudder in atlas and they were actually kind enough to give us To make this available for us, but there were some problems. I mean because the data are proprietary We weren't quite clear what we can do with this So we decided to work on a tool which would be an overlay which would allow you If you purchase legally your own atlas or if you have data compatible with this To do this processing by yourself So we have this project which you call 3D bar 3D brain atlas Reconstructor which essentially allows you to go through a set of slides like this or compatible data to three dimensional structures This is an offline tool which you can which is again open source It's it's in python and you can easily install this and we also develop the web service which has Somewhat limited functionality, but essentially is a repository of all of the brain atlas in data And you can access it really so what we got in this exercise Well, we developed a workflow to generate 3D brain atlas is from 2D delineated data To generate 3D representations of structures and we have developed a format Which you call modestly common atlas format to store brain atlas is of this type And again, this is an offline tool and the web service There is actually a third option if you can afford it Which is to create a 3D atlas from scratch? And we are well aware of several recent efforts And we just said presentation from Allen brain Institute and we know the most from mouse and the most from rat I just would like to present a briefcase study from our own worst of opossum as they call it So what do you need what do you need if you want to Create a brain atlas from scratch and you have a choice between using Section-based techniques where the advantage is that they are very specific They give you access to find your anatomical information at the cellular level, but they have some problems Namely when you work on this you have high level of distortions and they don't they lack spatial consistency on the other hand You might use 3D imaging techniques which have some advantages for instance, you can use them in vivo and You get automatically three-dimensional data sets The disadvantages that usually the resolution is not so good and They are not very specific. You don't have very good contrast to make the delineations So ideally you would like to combine this these two approaches to You would like to integrate this kind of data To use their advantages and get rid of their disadvantages So this is what we did in a project of opossum brain atlas Why not mouse? I mean, why should we do mouse? I mean, how can you compete with our colleagues now? Why opossum? I mean opossum is is an animal which is gaining popularity and in particular in developmental neurobiology and the reason is that there is a short gestation of this animal on the order of two weeks and the newborns are born in early stage and we just happen to have colleagues in our institute who are Interested in developmental neurobiology of these animals and there is no brain atlas available So to construct this atlas we took amor scans was more term and we had micro micro tomography to get the skull Then the brain was extracted and we took the block face Images while cutting slices and Then half the slices were stained for nisla half were stained for myelin Then this data need to be integrated So we integrated the two-dimensional data To a common To a common space getting rid of the distortion as much as we could and then this was Corregistered to the to the image from the MR scan I'm not going to go into into details of the process. I don't have time for this Finally, all of these data were placed in this theoretical reference frame of the to get from my micro city So here you can see the result. I'm sure this is not very Responsive so again here we have the MR scan. This is the block face the nisla and the myelin spaces and Here is just a random cut So in the quality of the reconstruction, so this these three images have been reconstructed from from corner slices Finally all this all this data after integration in the common space Sorry They have been delineated so we have all together around 110 structures and All of this is available in in three different forms So you can just go to the 3d bar dot org and you can free bar s dot org and you can just Explore this data or you can go to the Scalabrain Atlas and you can play with them or you can just find Find them in bulk and download and play with your favorite software So again, what we got in this in this exercise Well, we got some some data which are made publicly available. This is the opposite brain Atlas And to be developed a workflow to integrate 2d images into 3d which we call possum We just again publicly available So again, I think that what we are showing is is not novel in terms of of the essence of what we show So what is what I think is different is our strategy that what we try to do is is is Make it available for the For the community both data and both software and they are available today not five years from now So what you can do when you have these tools? available Let me just give an example. So this is here we come to the monkeys and this is an example of of Experiment coming from Monash University from Alcellar Rossa's group With whom he started collaboration a few years ago Actually the collaboration started from a discussion at the INCF Domobuf at the fence meeting in Barcelona So anyway, if you want to do traditional neuroanatomy, what does it look like? So say say you want to get a connect home in this case you want to get the connect home of the Marmoset monkey So inject some tracers You look at the stain cells You get some cells stained with different different dyes different tracers and You count them you place them on I mean you mark them on your slice And what you end up with you have the distribution of these marks all over the slices slides slices So now if you want to have some connectivity information you want to Count them and you want to find how many of them are in different structures? So that's the typical end result. You've got a table. We just shows you how What kind of connectivity you have between different structures? So all is well But what happens? I mean we so Catherine asked this question to one of the previous speakers What if actually we decide tomorrow to change our percolation? We might have a reason to use different percolations and so what I mean You cannot move back from this table or from an image back to a new percolation So the table that I presented you is in fact a loss your way of reporting and storing neuroanatomical data So if we if say we have a new idea a new percolation new metals To subdivide part of the brain or if we want to use data from previous investigations to refine your hypothesis We need something something else So we need a more flexible way of storing and reporting the data a Way which would allow us reinterpretation in light of new information or hypothesis which would be preserved enough in 3d space To allow us making purely spatially based analysis and would allow for quantitative analysis not just saying connection present or absent So what we did in this case Let's see if it works We took the recently published Marmoset brain Atlas by George parts Paxino's martial arts and others and We use the 3d bar software To reconstruct the percolation in 3d That's again available on the 3d bar website And we took the nissan images and reconstructed the template which is nicely co-registered with this data So this gives us this the space the reference space in which we would like to put the tracing information Now so this is the task that you are faced with We have a number or much a lot has a number of of specimens a number of monkeys Which have been a which have been injected with these traces and then their brains were sliced With in the slices of 40 micron thickness when every thief slice was was used for for fluorescence imaging of the of the cells and every thief was you was Missile stained Then the locations of the cells were registered to the neighboring missile sections and now the task you have is just You would like to take this kind of data and placed it in this three-dimensional reference space So you need to have a transformation which goes from the left to the right So we use for this the the possum framework, which we developed while while working on the on the opossum brain atlas So here's your typical data set the input image stack You see it's maybe not perfectly aligned to the it maybe doesn't look perfectly like a brain So what you want to do first you want to well we start with some fine Reconstruction to get it closer to the To the reference template when you do the formable reconstruction to get rid of the non-correlated Deformations and finally so this is done with the possum framework and and then we use ans to co-register with the template So this is non-linear co-registration. So let's see it more dynamically. Hopefully. Okay, it works So that's your initial stack and here you have the fine transformation And this is the formal transformation This is something happened here. Now. This is being corrected with non-linear registration so you end up with a decent transformation of the original input input stack into the into the reference template and Now once you have once you have this transformation, they can actually translate all the So specific information into your template And this is something which is essentially independent of the parcelation So when you can use any parcelation you like and you can do with this data anything And you can do any analysis you like. So this is much more. This is a much richer data set And now of course you can represent it also in different in different ways So you can look at the 3d representation So again this this dot here is is the point of injection of tracer the black dots are the Stain cells and different colors show different areas. So this is taken from the Atlas which we processed So you can also use flat mapper representation if that's what you prefer You can also just Automatically now count the cells so you've got a count based map and This is just to show that I mean this is an ongoing project. So this was this I mean most of the stuff I'm showing here is the work of Peter Micah actually who is sitting here Who started working on this in Warsaw and now continues this project here in in Monash University So this is the the data which have been processed. So it's so far 27 injections out of out of 300 Okay, so that's essentially all I wanted to show you so I wanted to Show you just how we what you can do with a small but dedicated team of programmers and what I wanted to stress is that but What we feel is is needed in your informatics in neuroscience is essentially And if you want to really achieve scalability We have to make sure that we make both data and tools available when you look at the land landscape of today's new informatics There are many projects There are many outstanding projects which are very useful But I think they still don't reach the full potential because I mean sometimes You have just the data available and then there are tools which might be of use to the community Which are which are closed or the opposite or very often very commonly is the tool Which is so convoluted with the data that is just not very practical to use them separately so We essentially want to go the the Unix way and we try to provide small chunks of data Which could be hopefully of use to the community So so far it's been the 3d bar which is the general tool to integrate 2d drawings into 3d structures 3d bars is the repository of open-brain atlas is providing Some part of the functionality of this Possum the general tool to integrate 2d images into 3d and we have some some data Which is the opossum brain atlas and the marmoset critical I have also showed you some some Results of our projects on the possum brain atlas and the marmoset connectivity Which utilize some of these tools and I only hope that some of you will find We will find these tools useful and I'll be very happy to see some exciting projects in the in the future And thank you for your attention Thank you very much Two small questions the first Why didn't you do or are you doing intensity correction? I mean when you you're doing it intensity correction as well because The nissle stain looked a little bit heterogeneous with respect to Intensity correction when you look from most rostrel to most caudal sections You have shown there's alignment the stacking the alignment using non-linear, but but there was I Was not sure whether you have done intensity correction In the marmoset case Maybe I'm maybe I'm cheating whole section not Not locally So the so intensity was Made uniform but but again through the The way it has been unified was that there was single I-10 city transformation for the whole section not not local I-10 city corrections and Because of that reason that Myelin stuck was as you could see probably was quite sort of Like zebra like Yeah For the purpose, so maybe didn't play such an important role because you are still detecting your labeling presumably May have a second one. Okay, so I like very much also the It's a connectivity information that you map to the Marmoset, of course, this is very interesting Did you label in your atlas the position of the cells and Or did you also consider the tracks itself? So again, I mean so these data are not mine. They are much a lot of us I mean, I don't know how much I can say about this of the project. Okay, so some I mean especially with much a lot is not here so I Will guess that I didn't label all tracks with these techniques around this is my guess too But but I mean this would be really cool and exciting So if you want to comment, I mean so it will know more what we can say Those are very good questions. I mean just you know, so these were retrograde Tracers, so they labeled only this the neuron soma so the cells were are actually discrete point in space There's no tract or any any fiber stain with this with this matters Okay Very good Thanks again very much Daniel


Fire up! Just see if it is the right way first, hold on, it will tell me in a minute, it's going to either say what are you doing or it's going to be like yeah that's fine. At the moment my Google Maps hasn't moved, there you go, I think this is just my phone is so slow, I couldn't even keep up with it. Alright so yeah we're going to turn to the right here and then we're still on track. Perfect! Good morning world, welcome back to the channel. Stay number 376 on our circumnavigation around the globe by motorcycle. We're here in the capital of Mexico, Mexico City and you'll notice that there's no tank bag in front of me and there's no panniers on bumblebee. I don't know if you can see that but there isn't. Well that's because today we are not leaving Mexico City, we're having a day out. Woo! Woo! Yes we are doing a little bit of sightseeing here in Mexico City here. We are visiting Mexico's most popular archaeological attraction, the ancient city of Teotihuacan. That's right, we've seen pre-Columbian cities, pyramids in Ticale in Guatemala and Palenque in Mexico but both of those sites are actually Mayan sites and are way after this site that we're heading to today because this site is nearly 2,000 years old. Nice! This predates the Maya, this predates the Aztecs and the Inca and over 4 million people visit here every year so let's see what this place is all about. Yes! So it's about 32 miles through the city to the edge of the city and Google Maps says it will take us one hour so better throughout let's go. Wow this is crazy, so this is like an elevated highway and the lane going this way, we're on here and the lane going the opposite way is above us, it's literally a whole other highway above us.  Mexico City is the largest city in North America, second largest in all of the Americas behind Sao Paulo and apparently it's the sixth largest metropolitan area in the world and that's basically what we've been trying to navigate to to get from our hotel in the center to TOT Wakan on the edge and I can tell you we've already gone wrong twice. Ah there they are in the background, I can just about see the pyramids. Oh yes! Not like this giant one, that's a mountain but we have made our way out of Mexico City now and actually it's super cold, there's like this one toll road that we took and it basically takes you from like the middle of the city all the way out to here so it's actually pretty easy to get here pyramids. We're coming! Maybe we have to buy the tickets here. Hola. Hola. Biletera. Que entran directo, que queda el tento. Ok, ok. Gracias. Ok, he said door 2, puerto 2, right in front he said. Nice coupling eh, very good for our suspension. Haha, there's a bumpy ride in. We just bought our tickets with a parking and total that was 205 which is about 10 pounds. 10 pounds? Yes! Really good price. Incredible for such an amazing size. So we'll just go and park up close to the first pyramid here. Yes. And then we'll go check it all out. Yeah, incredible. Over one year conquering continents on our beloved Suzuki Vistrom 1050XT Bumblebee and we can't believe how reliable and awesome this bike has been. It's a true adventure machine and the fact that we even have Bumblebee to begin with is all thanks to our amazing sponsor, Motorcycle World, in my hometown, Northampton. These guys just sent us an awesome new video that they've made about their store and we wanted to share it with you. The place where Bumblebee is born. Welcome to Motorcycle World, the place to be for all things two wheel based in Northampton. Whether you've been riding for decades or you're brand new to getting on a motor bike, we've got everything you need all under one roof. We also offer park exchange and an array of major manufacturer used bikes. So for all you two wheel needs, your journey starts here. If you live around the Northampton area and want to meet Bumblebee after the trip, this is where you'll find her. So make sure you swing by. But now back to the video. So Bumblebee is all safely wrapped up in the parking and we've just come into the entrance. Have a look at what we've got in front. It looks unreal. Seriously. Wow. We did well together. That wasn't planned. So this is actually the largest pyramid here in Teotihuacan. And it's close to being the largest pyramid in the whole of the Americas. It is 66 meters high and it's called the Pyramid of the Sun. And the only structure in the whole of the ancient Americas that was larger than this was pyramid four in Tikal, which was 70 meters. This one is like so much bigger in terms of its base. Its base is more than 200 by 200 meters. So this is a massive pyramid.  And they are excited. They are screaming. Yeah. Is this guy here? Scary. Crazy stuff. Oh my God. Why are they selling this stuff here? Every child has like a whistle or a jaguar thing or hello. So you actually used to be able to climb these pyramids, but they stopped that. I think it was during COVID that they stopped that. But actually it's basically done to preserve them because over the years, as people kept climbing them, climbing them, climbing them, that's basically degrading them. I guess to keep them here and looking spectacular for future generations, we have to appreciate them from ground level. And there's no drones allowed, of course. So this is the view we get. Wow, but it is a really, really, really big construction. Wow. Unbelievable. Beautiful. It's hard to appreciate the scale of this from a year, but 66 meters high. Over 200 meters wide. So 2,400 years ago, there was only around 5,000 people living in this area. And they were just rural communities. But over the next 200 years after that, people started to come here and emigrate from different areas, and this place started to grow. And by the first half of the first millennium, so between zero and 500 AD, this place was estimated to have a population of 175,000 people, making it at the time one of the world's six largest cities. Which is really interesting, because Mexico City today also has the sixth largest urban population. TOT Huacán was the first city of the Americas. It's really one of the cradles of civilization, especially here in Mesoamerica. Oh my God, there's an entire horde of children coming. Run, Ollie! Run! Oh my God. So I'm going to tell you some more info before they arrive. Interestingly enough, just like Tikal, right after Xenith, this city fell and was abandoned. So by around 700, 750 AD, TOT Huacán was no more. Which is interesting, because that's around the same time that Tikal and Palenque were actually building their greatest structures. So maybe all the people just kind of gave up here and moved over there. But all subsequent civilizations and peoples that lived here respected this place as a sacred place, and TOT Huacán was known by the Aztecs as the city where the gods were born, and they actually believed that their gods were born here in this ancient city. Look at the size of this square. This city was built on an absolutely crazy scale. So behind me in this massive crazy plaza is the second pyramid here at TOT Huacán, and this is the Temple of the Moon, and this pyramid is 43 meters high. But the names, the Temple of the Moon and the Temple of the Sun, show just like a lot of ancient sites in Egypt and where we were in Tikal. A lot of these structures were constructed on astronomical lines. I don't exactly know the ins and outs of this one, but it's certain that they mean something in relation to the universe. Even for today's standards, this was a sophisticated city with sewage and drainage and planned city streets and avenues and residential areas. And just imagining this place on this scale 2,000 years ago, it's really, really impressive. It's a bit of a quieter area over by the Temple of the Moon. All the schools are moving this way. They are seriously probably about 200 kids walking around here. I mean they're so cute, but so loud as well. It's actually really nice to see that this is like part of the educational program that's going on here in Mexico, that like every school is bringing the kids here. Cool. So we get to go inside one of these places. Hola, Buenos.  So this gives you a bit more of an idea about what it actually looked like for the people of Tiotihuacan from a living perspective, like not just the grand monuments, but actually individual rooms, murals on the walls, look at these beautiful carvings on the pillars. This would have been one of the residences of one of the elite of Tiotihuacan. So I guess not everybody in Tiotihuacan would have enjoyed such a luxury like this. Look at the view that they had. Everything under control. Do you feel like one of the elite of Tiotihuacan? I think this place would suit us nicely. Residence one Tiotihuacan square. So it's pretty amazing because this mural behind me was actually discovered in the 60s behind a wall. And that's why it's so well preserved. But this is actually an original mural from when Tiotihuacan was a living city. So it's probably 2,000 years old. You can see that it depicts a puma, and I heard from some of the English-speaking guides around us that the lines and the dots are representing that he is underwater and it's associated with the god of rain. So we're kind of getting some free info as we're going along. Either way, this is a pretty incredibly preserved example of Tiotihuacan art and gives us an amazing insight into what they believed in and the religion of the people. So we are back in the city after an awesome visit to Mexico's ancient past. Yes, it's always super impressive to visit all ancient sites. It's just incredible. And if you imagine like that, so many people have lived there and just the remains of the city you see now, it's like, it's very nice. 2,000 years later and it still impresses us now. It's really, really cool. So from the ancient impressive cities back to Mexico City, where it's busy and hot. I think I preferred the ancient version of Mexican cities without cars. Without cars, but with human sacrifice. Oh, yes. So I don't know. So we really hope that you enjoyed our little exploration here in Mexico City. So we will just head back now to the hotel. But we hope you enjoyed the video. If so, please give us a thumbs up to subscribe to the channel, share the video with your friends and family comment below and we will see you next time.
