evelop into things that nobody had thought of before I heard someone say it out there doesn't have a logical replication stuff count as a something proof of concept that well if I okay to put it that way it was a proof of concept as an extension that was being re-implemented I think I need music when I'm running hi so I know how to report the bugs if I find some so I know that however I have lots of asks as everybody knows right I have long list of asks what I would like to have in Postgres so each time I talk about this ask you know like Robert has who does not hate me at all he's saying Hattie I have another 120 features why I should like care about what you want and I only have 6 years left until retirement okay I know what you think I'm not so how I can make my voice I know my voice is loud but how I can make some of my asks more like you know addressed Bribe a developer with cookies or I mean in this case maybe Robert but I mean fundamentally it's like yeah fine if you're in a position to write them yourself write them yourself if you're not in a position to write them yourself but more like generically otherwise you have to find a way to convince somebody to work on them right and one way is to bribe them with cookies another one is to employ them and tell them what to do like there are those kinds of things I think in general I mean that's one of the differences right and if you're in a company you can find a manager to tell them what to do right and tell them to work on this project and explain to your company why your thing is more important in the open source world you just have to convince the developers of that without having a manager to convince on the way which may be harder or easier depending on what it is but in the end the only way to get things higher up on a developer's to do is to either make them for from their own sake or to find a way to directly or indirectly fund their work but I think those are the only ways so I think Magnus is getting cookies so I think the other part of the answer to your question is again maybe not the perfect answer but it's basically the Postgres community answer is you need to like show up at the major Postgres conferences find one of the developers and like well get them to listen to you long enough about your idea and convince them that it's an interesting thing that they should care about I mean seriously I've talked to people over the years about like PGCon and the value to me of going to PGCon over the years was not attending the talks it was attending the after talk event at the double winner where you sit around the table with a dozen hackers and just people talk about well this is you know this interesting thing or that interesting thing over the years so many of the features that are in Postgres today I first heard about at the table at the double winner you know was it the Royal Oak or whatever it was called with a bunch of hackers just sitting around for hours and hours after the conference talking about database nerd stuff right so that's the way Postgres gets done so you so you write the ask on an index card you put a cookie on top of it you hand it to Magnus and there you go that starts the process I want to build on Joe's point because I think this is an important part of the Postgres community and it's not just going out to the different after events it's the hallway track because a lot of discussions and ideas are taught there it's not just about making contributions it's learning how Postgres works so this reminds me of a story because I see Chris here and I'm going to put Chris on the spot we were at PGCon one time it was before Postgres 12 came out and as mentioned like one of my jobs in the community is to try to take what's the release notes and turn into a release announcement and there's something in there about like oh you know your your client can specify like a certificate to do a full username verification I'm reading this I thought nothing of it and you know I'm mentioning this to I forgot how it came up like Chris and I were chatting in the hallway and Chris was like this is actually the first piece of two-factor authentication Postgres has because what you can do is you can do password auth and then force the client to present a valid certificate with a username on it therefore there's two factors of authentication that go through and that was the light bulb moment because between a talk you know talking about upcoming features and it's like oh wow this is a great security feature and I think that made its way into the general release announcement so that's a lot of the value of just you know going around talking to folks in the community because we learn we understand and like we can help either build new features or articulate them questions that was news to me today questions so we heard your favorite new feature what's your least favorite old feature do do do do do do do do do do do do so the question is what is your least favorite old feature old feature how old let's clarify like more than 10 years old 20 years old more than 10 I'd say my least favorite old feature would be the fact that there's an 8K page limitation for indexes okay I'll take the money data type then because that is bullshit if you're using it stop using it it's not good for anything yes the only thing it actually does that is not sold by other things it does bad like destructively don't ever use the money data type so I know there's gonna be a follow-up question to that but I'm not gonna be the one to ask it I know there's a patch proposed to remove it for 17 but so actually I have a question so as you know I probably made clear today I started as an app developer like I came to the community as an app developer who just like love working with the database so you know I think a common question amongst app develop well maybe it should be a common question amongst app developers is like okay I built this app it's using Postgres I'm ready to go to production what would be something you tell that app developer about running Postgres in production like what things do they need to do you may be thinking I'm joking but my first thing should be get a DBA and to your database I'll double down on that what does a DBA do to my database well the the main thing you need to do is make sure your database is actually properly designed from the first place most of the performance problems I've run into over the years doing consulting helping people support most of it is caused by poor database design wrong data types mismatched data types poorly laid out tables not normalized index on every column oh yeah yeah I've seen databases where because of the way they design things they had an index on column A an index on column A and B A, B and C, A, B, C and D out to like 16 columns right and then you go let's look at how many of these have actually been used and this is like 15 years ago but they had a 500 gig database and I showed them if they just dropped the indexes that have never been touched their database would have been 100 gigs I'll add one more if you insist on going to production without talking to DBA first at least get real backups not just PG dumps and even if it's PG dumps that's better than nothing at all I don't like trying to recover databases from corrupt file systems when there are no backups at all so please don't do that or do that so that we can make more money no I like to make money different ways Magnus brings up a good point about backups I think a lot of people focus on availability which of course is important to make sure your data is always available but you really want to have those backups for a bad day in case the dreaded my user table dropped I need to restore it but also just in general it's good for other purposes too like restoring test environments and doing work around that and don't make them shroding your backups if you haven't restored it you don't know whether it's any good so we're starting to get short on time Magnus we've had time for one more question maybe two can you expand why you hate the 8K limitation on indexes and can that be turned into a feature can you explain why you don't like the 8K page limit on indexes Jonathan actually recently discovered this because when you're trying to index something that is inherently large once that thing is larger than 8K you can no longer build an index on it well not just if it's a B tree unless you have built specific support for it so the specific example is the vector data type stuff which is very popular these days and they want to get them bigger and bigger and bigger so without some additional hacking that's not it's not possible to support over well right now so right now PG vector is using 4 byte floats so it can support something I think just shy of 2,000 dimensions yeah but people are starting to push those things where they want much larger dimensional vectors it's not possible currently to index that without shrinking it through quantization or something I think we might have time for one more so a posker's user asked me the other day and I said I'll ask the developers next week so when we have a multiple column index and the second column is of low cardinality but it's not included in the where clause why don't we use the index okay so there's a clarification I think okay so an index on two columns and we only specify the where clause for the wrong column so the index doesn't get used if the cardinality is low enough that we could afford to use the index to fulfill the query why don't we I think that's basically the feature often referred to as index skip scans right and I think the reason why we're not doing it is that nobody has completed the patch yet as in I think I've actually seen some years ago a start attempt at a patch so I don't think there's a fundamental reason we're not doing it I just think it hasn't been done yet so there's a feature going to postgres 17 that's going to have the underpinnings to be able to do this it's basically the prelude skip scan coming soon maybe we'll see tomorrow at Magnus's talk what time is your talk okay very good alright let's see we could probably do one more question before I close out if you have a burning question that you've always want answered by a postgres expert or one pretending to be one in this panel I say Tim I'm going to close this out by making me run all the way no it's okay I can come to you this is come back here we're full service here so where do you see postgres in five years that's going to be my question very good question thank you alright I got the music going it'll be that much closer to dominating the database market almost approaching feature fees for postgres 22 in the next five years it will be 15 years before what Simon said in the keynotes about that we will dominate the world so five years later it's 15 years left for the domination I think as long as we continue the way we've been doing things recently I think postgres will be continuing to thrive and grow and be used more and more for different use cases than it is today I might give a less visionary answer I think there's been a lot of work going on in postgres lately that's going to help with the vertical scale so being able to continue to use more and more of the hardware resources available and horizontal and distributed scale vertical scale I think about the direct IO work being able to directly work with things at the storage level and then I think about the logical replication work going on in terms of the horizontal level and there's other projects as well I'm picking onto that at least some glancing familiarity at but I think that's what we're going to see as these workloads continue to grow postgres will be able to rise and take on more and more of them and with that we are at time I would like to thank our esteemed group of panelists please give them a round of applause and I'd like to thank all of you for your wonderful questions and of course making the AMA such a fun time at every single scale so I guess we'll do this again same time next year you can visit us in the exhibit hall at the Postgres booth and you can bring Magnus Cookies, thank you


How easy is it to get confused when money gets tight? How easy is it? Most people make bad choices when money's tight.  It takes a whole life to build people up to believe in you, and it takes one or two days to tear it all down. Rome took a long time to build, and it was very, very quick to destroy it. Habits. Habits are what a leader brings to a company so that the company understands what it takes to win. As a family man, you guys got kids, do you want to give generational wealth to your kids or do you want to give generational habits to your kids? I dare you to give them the money without the habits and the money will be gone.


Let's look at 1 Corinthians chapter 12 and see what the Apostle Paul says concerning the church Beginning at verse 12 1st Corinthians chapter 12 Paul writes for as the body is one and has many members, but all the members of that one body being many are one body So also is Christ For by one spirit we were all baptized into one body whether Jews or Greeks whether slaves are free and Have all been made to drink into one spirit For in fact the body is not one member, but many If the foot should say because I am not a hand. I am not of the body. Is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear should say because I'm not an eye. I'm not of the body. Is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye Where would be the hearing if the whole were hearing where would be the smelling? But now God has set the members each one of them in the body just as he pleased and If they were all one member, where would the body be? But now indeed there are many members yet one body and the I cannot say to the hand I have no need of you nor again the head to the feet. I have no need of you No much rather those members of the body Which seem to be weaker are necessary and those members of the body which we think to be less honorable these we bestow greater honor and Our unpresentable parts have greater modesty But our presentable parts have no need but God composed the body having given greater honor to that part Which lacks it that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care For one another and if one member suffers all the members suffer with it One member is honored all the members rejoice with it Now you are the body of Christ and members individually God has appointed these in the church first apostles second prophets Third teachers after that miracles then gifts of healings helps administrations varieties of tongues Are all apostles are all prophets are all teachers are all workers of miracles Do all have gifts of healings do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the best gifts and yet I will show you a more excellent way One of the problems that the church there in Corinth and we've already seen this one of the problems the church there in Corinth suffered with was a problem of division Paul had made it very clear in his introduction in chapter 1 When he got to chapter 3 he had said in verses 3 and 4 to the Corinthian church You are still carnal for where there are envying strife and divisions among you Are you not carnal and behaving like mere men for while one says I'm of Paul and another I am of Apollos are you not carnal and so he said there is carnality. There's division within the body of Christ and He was speaking concerning that Now he had been wanting to remind the Corinthians of something that the church needs to be reminded of pretty much often He wanted to remind the church of their spiritual unity in 1 Corinthians 10 17 He had said we being many are one bread and one body for we all partake of that one bread And so he wanted the body of Christ there in the city of Corinth as well as all of us who are reading this letter 2000 years later. He wanted us to know that unity is Very important in the body of Christ The body of Christ is to be one in the Lord Because the body of Christ stands in unity in opposition to the enemy It's been said Satan always hates Christian fellowship. It is his policy to keep Christians apart Anything that can divide saints from one another he delights in He attaches far more importance to godly fellowship than we do since union is strength He does his best to promote separation Now that's absolutely true Of course it is the Lord Jesus Christ and Matthew 12 25 said every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and Every city or house divided against itself shall not stand If the enemy wants to do a work against against the Lord what does he do? He sows seeds of discord and division in the body of Christ He wants the house to be divided against itself He doesn't want the body of Christ to have unity and fellowship He doesn't want us to have singleness of heart and purpose because if we do then we're going to be great enemies of his kingdom The Bible makes it very clear that God desires his people to dwell together in peace and in unity even as it says in Psalm 133 1 Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity And so God's desire for us the body of Christ is to be one in him Jesus wants us to be united in him. He even prayed that we would be remember his high priestly prayer in John 17 How he said in verses 20 and 21 I do not pray for these alone But also for those who will believe in me through their word that they all may be one as you father are in me And I in you that they also may be one in us that the world may believe that you sent me the world will believe Partly because the body of Christ gets along because the church loves one another Because we stand in stark contrast to a world that is filled with division and and filled with anger and a Lack of unity we the body of Christ are intended by Jesus Christ To be united together in opposition to the enemy and to be cemented by love So we need to protect the unity of the body that we have That's something that we actually decide to do because we've been called by God to learn to love one another When Paul was writing to the Ephesians in chapter 4 verses 1 through 3 he said as a prisoner for the Lord Then I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received Be completely humble and gentle be patient bearing with one another in love Make every effort to keep the unity of the spirit through the bond of peace And so that's supposed to be my responsibility To do the very best I can to live at peace with other believers It works in the house if I live at peace with my wife There'll be unity within the house. There'll be love in the house. The spirit of God won't be quenched in our house But if we're constantly at each other's throats if we're always arguing with we're always in opposition to one another Not only does it divide us from one another, but if we're parents is also going to divide our children's hearts And so unity is of utmost importance Now when you're talking about spiritual unity we need to immediately say unity does not mean uniformity We're not clones of one another Every one of us have distinct gifts and every one of us have different callings in in the body of Christ Unity can be expressed in diversity and Paul's about to demonstrate this and that's what he's speaking about here In first Corinthians chapter 12 now notice with me in verse 12 How he begins here first Corinthians 12 by saying as a body is one and has many members But all the members of that one body being many are one body. So also is Christ So he begins by emphasizing the interrelationship of each member of the body of Christ It's interesting if you were to look at verses 12 to 27 in this passage here He chooses to use the word body some 18 times What he's wanting to refer to is a fact that we are already together in Jesus Christ We are supposed to be one because God designed us that way So when he speaks about us being the body of Christ, it would speak of the unity that we have in Jesus Christ He echoes that sentiment that thought in romans chapter 12 at verse 5 When he says we being many are one body in Christ and every member Everyone members of one another. He says the same kind of thing in Colossians 118 when he speaks of Jesus in this way He is the head of the body the church So he's making it very clear that we are in christ and therefore are called the body of christ The church is called a right of things in scripture. Obviously. We're referred to as the church We're the bride of christ. We're also called the body or the body of christ And so we are the body of christ and he's making it very clear here, especially in verse 12 that christ's body is one So we who are in christ are to be one in him Now We are not a social club We are not a sports team We're members of one another You can be part of a fraternity You can be part of a Some organization like the moose or elk some lodge You can be part of uh You know a union There's a variety of things you can be part of That do not require you to love one another If you play sports and you're on a team and the manager gets you together and you begin to have a A team kind of talk the manager isn't going to look to the first baseman and say You know man, you've got to love that right fielder out there. He's just not going to do that You know second baseman. You've got to just love that catcher. It doesn't work that way. You don't have to What you need to be is adept at your position You don't even have to love the team that you're on if you're a professional athlete You probably don't even care about the team that much because what you're looking for is the best salary you're going to make That's the way it works. We understand that Teams are that way To be successful though, the better teams have a fondness for one another. They enjoy being together There's just something about that camaraderie But if you are part of some secular organization They cannot make you love one another If you're in the military and you've got a fighting unit that you're part of They don't say to you, you know rezolace. You've got to love this guy over here As a matter of fact, that's frowned on in the military What you're supposed to do is just be supportive of the mission Be good at your job Be willing to do the things you've been trained to do If you have a fondness for that guy, that's all the better The chances are you won't leave him on the field if he's injured But the bottom line is it's not required when I took my oath of fealty to the united states They did not say and I will love my fellow soldier. I didn't have to swear to do that I was going to uphold and honor the constitution and and be in opposition to the enemies of the united states That's part of our of our oath But I wasn't I wasn't told you've got to love your fellow soldiers I wasn't told that because I don't have to it's a choice I make But the church is different We are commended by god to love one another The body of christ is different We are actually going to demonstrate that we know god By the love we have one for another That's what jesus said Jesus said by this shall all men know you are my disciples if you love one another And so the body of christ is one and the unity of the body is to be protected We endeavor to keep the unity of the body and the spirit of peace and we do so by love Because we are the body of christ. That's what the church is called to be And that's what we're called to do We are the visible body of christ and what we're trying to do is we're trying to learn to love one another And you do learn to love one another, don't you? I mean those of us who are married in this room know that the day that we got married more than likely When we're giving our oath to one another. We're making our promise before god We said something like I will love you. I will honor you. I will cherish you Etc till death do we part or something like that whatever your Your vows if you're married were something like that But I made a promise I made a promise to that woman when we got together. I will love you And I'll do my best to be a good husband to you But you know what? I didn't have a clue what I was saying. I mean he was saying that I was repeating it That was about it. I don't even remember my wedding day. I was in a fog That was drunk. No, I was and I'm just kidding drunk in love no, I I really don't remember That much about it I do remember making promises And I do remember thinking that I loved this young woman that I was making these promises to But I like all of you who are married Or all of you who are in a relationship that's growing in its love for one another know That if it really is love Then the next Next month if you're still together You're going to love each other more than you did the month before And what happens over time at least it's been true in my My case is you can actually say something like I love you more today than I did yesterday You can actually say that because you do Because love has a tendency of continuing to grow So you're committed aren't you if you're going to be married and remain married you have to be committed Don't you I mean if you're not committed to being married then what's the purpose of getting married? And if you're making promises who you making those promises to See for me when I got married I was making promises first to God I was saying to God I will care for your daughter And I was afraid when I made those promises because it wasn't just to Maria I was making a promise. I was making my oath to the Lord Secondly, I was making my oath to this young woman And thirdly, I was making my oath before witnesses I was saying in front of those who came to the wedding That this woman that I'm looking at right now Is going to be a woman I will be faithful to until Jesus takes me home And I had an assumption that I would remain with her for a long long time And that's been the case But I've discovered over time that love is something that grows over time So you're in a church and you're beginning to meet some people around you And somebody hurts your feelings And before you know it you just take yourself and you move some place else because that person hurt me Instead of working it out Instead of reconciling Instead of seeking a way for you to live in unity Just get up and you just leave You do that often enough you go through what I call, you know, root shock I know something of root shock Because I'm somebody who's pretty good at killing plants I can put a plant here and I don't really think it looks so good there after a while Then I would just dig it up Then I'd put it somewhere else. I'd leave it there for a little while Didn't really like it Try it again The thing dies The thing dies right there. Why because it goes through shock You cannot have it rooted without it being grounded It has to remain there. It has to be cared for It has to be pruned It has to be just taken care of What makes me think that being in the church is much different Than just taking care of the things like plants It's really not a whole lot different when you think about it You got a weed You got to make sure that it's watered Make sure it has the proper nutrients You have to care for it And if you do so Then that little plant's going to continue to grow and produce and it's going to be great Because it's cared for I killed a lot of plants We moved into a house and I've told you this before some of you have heard this I had some ivy that the Former owner had left in our backyard in a little pot It was nice and green And and I would go every week and I would take some water and I'd water the plant, you know and Man that little plant was a good little plant The only one that stayed alive and green all the time and I really liked that plant. I really did I thought man that's a good plant.  I like you man. You're a good plant Well, I forgot to water it for about a month maybe a month and a half I just forgot and I went into the backyard. I saw this plant there and it was green still green And I walked up to it. I said, oh man. I'm sorry man.  I patted it Man, you're a good little it was plastic the only reason that that thing stayed green That's a true story. I'm not kidding The only reason it stayed green it was it was it wasn't even alive. It was just plastic I learned some lessons about things like I learned lessons in the most basic ways If you neglect a real living thing, what does it do? it dies If you neglect a real living relationship in the body of christ, what's going to happen? It's going to fade away So instead of us uprooting ourselves and running someplace else and trying to replant and uprooting ourselves running someplace else and trying to replant Why don't we grow where we're planted? Why don't we Mature in our faith in the lord? Why don't we work through the problems that we have So that we can actually demonstrate that we know what it means to love one another Paul is talking about that here in the body of christ. He's saying don't you understand that you are one in jesus christ Don't you realize there's only one body? Now, how did I get to be part of that one body verse 13? He says for by one spirit. We were all baptized into one body Whether jews or greeks whether slaves are free and have all been made to drink into one spirit How did we become one in the body of christ? Well, he says that the holy spirit brought us into the body in galatians chapter 3 Verses 26 through 28 Paul echoed this by saying You are all sons of god through faith in christ jesus For all of you who were baptized into christ have closed yourselves with christ There is neither jew nor greek slave nor free Male nor female for you are all one in christ jesus There's no Difference we're all one in him. I don't know if I should use this illustration It can be misunderstood I'll use it and take the chance Because we're talking about the body of christ and we're supposed to love one another so you've got to love me So i'm going to say it Before I got saved Before I got saved there was a lot of revolution going on There was a an organization all of us have heard of called the black panthers that sprang into existence in the late 60s there was There were the gray panthers. I don't know how many of you have even heard of the gray panthers There are a bunch of old people Seriously, and they called themselves the gray panthers They had um the brown beret Native american groups there are various groups that started at that time one of my friends was one of the leaders of the brown beret he was a leader in the brown beret and uh His brother and I were good friends in high school And he tried to get me to be part of the brown beret Because being a mexican american myself he wanted me to be part of this group that was going to fight for the rights of Of of mexicans and this and that and I told him no I don't want to be part of that Why not Now you have to understand I was not a christian at that time But I said because I really think people ought to be one And I'm not really big on dividing humanity into sections and subsections I think we need to work together in unity. Don't you? Well, he didn't think so at all and that Splinterization of the united states has continued since the late 60s So that instead of out of the many one We now have out of the one many and there's a lack of unity That's in our world. It's splintered into class warfare Into ethnicities into division And so you have people who say well, we don't have those kinds of people in our church Here in this fellowship. I've done everything I can To always be a christian first That doesn't mean that I don't like my My heritage. I love my heritage. It doesn't mean that I don't You know appreciate other people's heritages. I appreciate theirs Do I think mine is the best? I like it But I'm not going to say it's better than yours Because that doesn't matter What matters is who I am in christ What matters is who we are together in jesus christ.  I used to sit in the very back row. He sat in the very front row There's about a hundred students Every time the the teacher lectures this guy raises his hand and interrupts the teacher I always did it the same way always yelled out brother and he said it like that brother brother And it used to drive me crazy now you need to understand, you know, I'm 23 years old I'm a college freshman. I spent two years in the military. I spent several years in drugs and alcohol I didn't have much patience with many people who interrupted teachers I'm paying a whole lot of money to hear this class and I don't want to hear brother every time I show up That's the truth and so Every time the teacher would lecture and this guy would be in the front row He would raise his hand when the teacher walked in front of him and he'd say brother and he'd ask a question And I used to put my pencil down And I would fold my arms and lean back in my chair And I'd wait for this to get over with so that we could get back to the lecture But this guy did it every week And it was driving me crazy So finally the guy seated next to me here comes mr. Old brother.  Do you like me? Yes. No check the box. No, no They kicked him out of school. No, um He hands me a note and I open it up and it says what is he a mexican? and I I spray painted him. No, I um I looked at him And I smiled at him. He's right here. He's right next to me And I looked at him And I smiled at him And I said, do you know what I am? He goes, yeah, you're italian, aren't you? Man that got me mad. No, he I said no I'm mexican Oh his face turned a variety of shades Is is very pleasant to see And he didn't know what to do So he writes another note I'm serious. I feel I fear that I have offended you greatly forgive me And I smiled at him And I wrote galatians three The scripture I just Read to you we're one in christ, bro We're one in christ There's neither jew nor gentile male female free man slave Or one You've got to understand that The lord was teaching me that Before I got saved If this world's going to change It's going to change because we love one another Not because we're always fighting Against one another or placing My culture or my tastes or my language my music whatever it may be Above somebody else's it isn't going to work that way What's going to work in this world is getting past those things appreciating them. Yes I appreciate them If I'm in israel I have to find salsa I have to I will die without salsa So I have to find it. I've had people bring it.  And she says to me what is that? And I said lizard skins They look like it I thought she was going to puke now.  I don't know But see everybody to to each his own Eskimos eat rotten walrus eyes. I won't do it They do Certain african tribesmen will take urine blood and milk mix it together and make a milk shake They drink that I won't I love menudo a lot of people don't I understand I understand, but it's the it's the diversity That makes it so interesting It's so interesting So I love it. I love diversity The body of Christ being many is one So we bring our gifts We bring the things that matter the things that we have that we treasure and value And we mix it together And it makes for a beautiful church And I love that don't you I love that I really do I love that that's what the body of Christ is supposed to be You know, I had the guchettas brothers here years ago now in this room before we built that other building over there and They sang a song in spanish Which is fine with me. I mean you want to sing sing a song. I think god understands spanish. I'm pretty sure he does I get a letter from somebody. This is the united states speak english I said rawl come on man. Don't play it Don't do that man. Don't be so mean But that can be the mentality even in the body of christ I don't want to get too close to that person because that person isn't like me Instead of rejoicing in the differences We select the most like us It doesn't work that way It doesn't work that way I thank god for the different gifts the different people the different cultures Everything why it makes us better Because we're representing The kingdom of god Jesus said you're going to preach this message in jerusalem judea samaria and unto the uttermost parts of the earth So the gospel goes out in all the languages and those who are saved are brought into this body of christ We are one in the lord and so as family members. We need to love one another But it's a process of learning to In first john chapter 4 verses 20 and 21 john said if anyone says i love god yet hates his brother He's a liar For anyone who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot love god whom he has not seen And he has given us this command whoever loves god must also love his brother So we are to love one another we've been brought into the body of christ by one spirit The membership is not built on racial political or denominational connection It's a membership of the spirit made possible by the spirit of god The holy spirit has brought us into this Now notice verse 13 all have been made to drink of the spirit Each member of the church has become a member by drinking of the spirit to drink means to be irrigated or to be watered or Saturated by the spirit of god And so we're brought into the body of christ by the spirit himself And he goes on in verse 14 for in fact the body's not one member but many So again salvation makes us all one in jesus christ We are one in the spirit because of a shared faith that we have in jesus christ Now as this is true notice verse 15 If if the foot should say because i'm not a hand i'm not of the body Is it therefore not of the body And if the ear should say because i'm not an eye i'm not of the body Is it therefore not of the body If the whole body were an eye where would be the hearing the whole were hearing Where would be the smelling Now many Corinthian believers were unhappy with their gifts And they began to compare one themselves with one another Again, we've already noted that comparisons in jealousy and envy are sure signs of carnality And so he begins to give to us insight into this division And that's why in verses 15 through 17 he gives comparisons If the foot should say i'm not a hand i'm not part of the body Well versus 15 through 17 reveal an attitude that results in the quenching of the spirit And the quenching of ministry Some will look around in a church and will say within themselves I'm just not necessary They don't need me If i don't show up they're not even going to notice My gifts are not necessary here And that's what happens in churches all the time Yet on our bulletin a lot of people haven't read the bulletin i understand We hand the bulletin out people take it and may look at it a little bit but not necessarily Really look at it We have placed on it since we began almost since we began In the very very earliest days of this church a phrase at the bottom It says every member What have you read it every member a minister All of us all of us Why do you have apostles prophets evangelists pastors and teachers for the equipping of the saints for the work of what for the word of ministry Every member a minister Reminds us That we all pull our own weight And the weight of others when necessary That others ought not to be doing that which god has constructed me to do That i shouldn't look to somebody else to do what my job is Everybody knows this is true in your home You know marie and i don't really have a division of labor. We don't have that in our house. She does all the work And it's a great life. No We really don't i mean she thinks we have that in her mind You know i can't fold towels I can't I've tried God knows I have but I just don't do it right You know, there are quite a number of things. I don't do right. I don't wash the dishes right I haven't ever But that has kept me from washing dishes for many years But we really don't have What I would call a division of labor because work is work and it needs to be done. And so let's do it if Front room needs to be vacuumed. Why would I wait for somebody else to do it when I can do it myself, right? If a bathroom needs to be cleaned Why would I wait for somebody else to do it when i'm there and i'm able to do it? We haven't divided things up like that because it's our house We don't have those divisions We have what you call a common purse meaning I make money and I put it in her purse Meaning that it's our money I know that there are some people who think this is my check and this is my And this is hers and we don't play that it's ours Whatever the lord has given to her is mine Whatever he's given to me is hers So it's ours I discovered that the two become one and we're better together than separate And so it works that way And so our homes that way our life is that way that doesn't mean that there's no leadership in the home She knows who I am and the lord and I know who I am and the lord God has called me to be the priest of the house to minister to my family understand that that particular reality But because we love one another we work well together And I have need of her And she has need of me And the two became one and we're able to accomplish great things together. We're a team The body of crisis like that And sometimes people will come into church and they'll say oh, somebody's already doing that. I'm not necessary Oh, somebody over there is doing that. I'm not necessary. That's never true That's never true your gifts are always necessary They're always necessary So what you do is you seek to be used of the lord Now put yourself in a position in terms of maturing and in your growth and all of that to be usable But that's the bottom line And so these comparisons that can take place in church and where people are starting to say i'm not necessary Is something he's speaking about right now He says in verse 18 But now god has set the members each one of them in the body just as he pleased And if they were all one member, where would the body be? But now indeed there are some members Or many members yet one body And and the I cannot say to the hand I have no need of you nor again the head to the feet I have no need of you and so Certain gifts were being exalted about other less obvious gifts And the noticeable gifts are the ones that are being coveted And so people begin to compare and begin to wish that they had more notoriety or fame or more recognition Well, paul is making it very clear instead of coveting somebody else's gifts Why don't you just trust the lord who determines which gift you're going to possess? And god doesn't make mistakes when he determines your gifting. So don't envy somebody else's gifting Just learn to use the gifts that he has given to you the body Is diverse Each member has an important function One person is not more important than the other So don't exalt one gift over another in verse 21. He says the I cannot say the to the hand I don't have a need of you the head can't say that to the feet And so the I cannot say the hand I have no need of you In other words, there were some saying we don't really need you. You're simply not necessary But the fact is again, we need each other And we have a built-in desire to be needed The gifts of the holy spirit are intended to heal a broken body When we had And I always Share this kind of thing You'll hear it long enough until it either you get so tired of it. You just uproot yourself and go plant yourself somewhere else or Or you see the heart of the statement Listen, I started a bible study In September of 1973 With a handful of people We met in a house for a long time Started another bible study in September of 1974 Met in a house for a long time Eventually started another study Met in the house for a long time Didn't have children's ministry Didn't have music ministry We only had a couple one couple When this church was new that played Musical instruments, but for the first several years of my ministry from 1973 into The late 70s. We never even had music in our In bible studies. I used to just come out sit down open my bible People would be fellowshiping And when I opened my bible and I looked at the time Because it was a small group of people they all knew the bible study started at 7 o'clock They would look to me I'd smile at them And then I'd pray and the study started No singing nothing We just had a bible say but I really wanted to have worship See I can I can teach a study But wouldn't it be great to have somebody who could play a guitar and sing? I want the body of Christ to use its gifts, right? I still remember the couple that I had leading worship at the home study We finally had a couple was able to do that Calling me up just before the study saying I'm sorry. We're not going to make it There was one guy in the bible study. His name was Clint And he knew how to lead worship and he happened to be there that night was in the home And I walked up to him and I said Clint Doug and Stacy can't make it to the study tonight. Can you lead worship? And he said I'm sorry. I didn't bring my guitar And I said that's okay sing acapella He says I don't know any Italian songs and and True story I don't know any Italian song Acapella means without musical accompaniment just lead us with your voice. Okay, duh We needed his gifting We need one another We shouldn't get caught up comparing gifts or wishing I had this person's gift or that person should never wish he had my gift When I teach pastors because we have pastors classes Um, I will share it to the guys who want to go out and plant churches The worst thing you can do is try to use me as your model It is the worst thing You you you don't want to What you need is to be yourself Because if you've ever wished that you were somebody else you need to stop and think for a minute If you were somebody else and one of you isn't necessary There has to be just you Your gift the way you do things. That's what makes the body rich Not when you clone yourself after somebody else and try and be like somebody else Be like the lord as he works through you be yourself Because again when this church first began Pastor chucks fellowship is only 40 minutes away. We're all at that time was in west covena 20 25 minutes away Greg lory is 25 20 25 minutes away Chuck's wind all was at av free church 20 minutes away You know john mccarthur is about an hour and 15 minutes away There's a lot of teachers all around the area and I began to pray and asked the lord Who am I supposed to be like? And the lord said you're supposed to be like yourself That's who you're supposed to be like Don't try to be who you're not be who you are And just exercise your gifts as god gave them to you because that's what makes the body What it's supposed to be and instead of coveting somebody else's gift and say gosh I wish that I could speak like this or I always had the kind of ministry of that and So most unwise thing you can do just rejoice in what god has done in you Just enjoy him As you are and a watch what the lord will do through you the Corinthians were so busy Comparing one and themselves amongst themselves and we're so busy saying i'm not necessary or somebody else is saying you're not necessary It just wasn't working anymore And so we need each other The holy spirits gifts are intended to make this broken body into a healed one God didn't redeem us for ourselves What god wants to do is create a new community And this community is supposed to evidence his presence It's supposed to be a community that is cemented by his love And is to be known by service and compassion Now in verse 22 He says no much rather those members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary Those members of the body which we think to be less honorable on these we bestow greater honor And our unpresentable parts have greater modesty But our presentable parts have no need But god composed the body having given greater honor to that part which lacks it that there should be no schism in the body But that the members should have the same care for one another Christianity is not a system where only the strong survive We are to be mutually dependent on one another The fact is we are needed and everybody is necessary.  His name was david David was uncoordinated And so When we were in gym We would play basketball. We would choose upsides Dave never got chosen for anybody's team Because david couldn't play basketball David was 15. I was 15 years old at the time I can still remember this very well because We were playing a game during gym We chose upsides Nobody chose david And I looked at david And I said to him dav I said sorry man You're on nobody's team nobody chose you David was a tall kind of a lanky kid And I basically had grown up with him from time I was very small and now we're in high school together And I'll never forget david When I said nobody chose you man.  We're not known for compassion at 15 But that touched me And I remember walking up to him Seeing this big kid cry It still touches me. I said what's with you man? Why are you crying? And he said this I'll never forget he said I've been practicing every day He said my dad put up a hoop at my house So I could shoot baskets to learn how to play so that one day I'd be chosen for someone's team I don't looked at this guy I don't know.  What do I know? But I said you can be on my team And I brought him on to the court We started throwing the ball to him. He started missing shots, which he did Couldn't even hit the backboard Go home at practice more david but when he would miss shot I started turning to him and then the other guys did on the team and I started saying great shot, man. Good try Great shot. Good try And it was then that the lord began something in my heart I get I get emotional forgive me I remember I didn't have a heart for people Who didn't fit in I do now But I didn't then You had to pass muster.  I only want the best Lord taught me a long time ago Since I was 15 Everybody's important Everybody That's what I've learned through christ though The body of christ is one And you are necessary Your gifts are the things you have to offer to the lord are very important Don't ever let anybody tell you otherwise You are in the side of the lord necessary And the church is better for you because god brought you into it for a reason What you need to learn is what that reason is what's the purpose What do you want me to do lord and when you find that place You're satisfied in jesus You're satisfied in him And you don't have to compare yourself with somebody else And you don't have to say because i'm not an eye. I'm not an ear. I'm not a hand.  No, can we cut off your ear?  Well a little no the whole thing How about a foot? Don't you think that every part of your body is pretty important? I don't want to lose any of it Except maybe some of the fat But I don't want to lose a part Well, if I value my body that much Don't you think the lord values the body of christ? Don't you think we ought to? I would say yes, paul is saying that It is very unwise To divide the body of christ up into special gifts and less special gifts Because you're all necessary We have been brought into this body by one spirit. We have all drunk of this one spirit God has gifted us We are necessary And that's what paul is saying Don't be divisive and finally When he says in verse 28 God has appointed those in the church first apostles Second prophets third teachers after that miracles gifts of healings helps administrations varieties of tongues Are all apostles are all prophets are all teachers are all workers of miracles Do all have gifts of healings? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the best gifts and yet I show you a more excellent way God is the one who sets the members just as he desires and he has appointed some to offices and he's given out gifts What he wants us to do though is to seek even as he says in verse 31. What is the best gift? What is the best gift the gift that is necessary at the moment? What do I seek the Lord for that which is best for now? And for my life and for others But what is it that will make all of this possible? Well, he tells us he says In verse 31 Yet, I show you a more excellent way We'll look at that more excellent way next time we get together

I've come out today to prune our raspberries, but that's not what this video is about. What I want to show you is the difference between where we planted them, which is where we've put the stakes and wires, and where they are now. So there's a raspberry here, all the way down here, two and a bit years later, and it's moved from here. Now you've probably got raspberries at home that do the same thing, they move. So how do you not have to fight your raspberries? Well what we've done here specifically is to plant them in a row, more or less as close as possible north to south, and the reason that works is that raspberries are a woodland edge plant like you see behind us here, but of course most woodland edges have some kind of fence which we have here. People stream or there's a road or a path, and so we don't get to see the woodland move, but unconstrained, that's what would happen. The trees would be seeding out into the grass, there are some trees coming up on the verge there because we don't stream that, and subsequently all the plants that would normally be just outside the trees because they like a bit of light, then they have to move, and that's why raspberries move because raspberries are a woodland edge plant, and that's what they do. They move to stay in the light, strawberries are the same, they're obviously lower growing but they also move to stay in the light, and if you stop them moving then they become less happy. Those plants three, four years on start to lose vigor because in a natural setting they would be disappearing under the trees and there's no point in them keeping going. So what we've done here is to try and work with that as best as possible by letting them run but letting them run in the direction of the bed, so all of these plants are moving this way, and there's a little bit, you'll see plants just a little bit of canes coming up here, but more or less they just stay in this bed, and so the trick with raspberries is to plant them as much as possible north-south so that when they run you don't have to fight them, you don't have to stream them, you don't have to push them back. In fact what we're doing is taking the odd plant that comes out into the grass here and planting it on the end because a gap is appearing, all of the plants at the end are obviously also moving this way, and we're going to let that happen until perhaps these plants get a little bit less happy because as they move into the shade of the building here then we'll dig them up and we'll put them back at the other end a bit like a sort of escalator, put them back, and then your plants stay happy, they stay productive and you have less work to do.


Hi, good morning and welcome to today's products and focus so have a look at the US there you can see there We had a particularly good day yesterday real strong candle They are bullish and gulfing pattern smashing up higher above both sets moving averages and the potential resistance at 178 95 other technicals relatively neutral And we actually did manage to get up to about 18,000 yesterday only to get pushed right back down at the very last minute But 178 95 could be the potential springboard for a move higher and certainly the momentum seems to be quite decent and today the nuclear Talks and Switzerland between Iran a lot of the other world leaders are very much going to be taking center stage today is the last day for a potential deal And that's where you've seen some interesting moves in crude oil Brent overnight Good bit lower as I should be a lot people doing the spread trade between Brent and West Texas right now as well So I'll be at West Texas is not down that much maybe one half percent Brent is a little bit different So that's the outlook for the US 30 right now The UK 100 didn't fare quite so well because of the slip and commodity prices and obviously UK 100 particularly sensitive to That factor of all the miners on that index trading below 6906 Just flirting with the 21 period SMA on the right side of that just now other technicals are relatively neutral And my struggle to break up six six nine oh six unless the US 30 leads away Looking at Japan 2 to 5 Ash had a decent day yesterday as dollar yen broke one 12 quite close 120 right now On its way up to 121 decent move in dollar yen overnight as the US dollar seems to be gaining a little bit of momentum A bearish engulfing pattern on the Japan 25 so far currently there today as most Chinese markets took a little breather from Yes to these pretty decent gains If it finishes the session like this, this would be a very negative Technical signal, but you know, we've only really just started the day in the 24-hour markets But we're still bouncing around that 21 period SMA other technicals are showing that is actually a little bit of pressure could do coming out You got a crossover on the MACD. You've had a cross on the RSI and so stochastic So certainly from a technical perspective if we don't get any more upwards momentum It might peer out and come back down to 18,648 So having a quick look at dollar yen as you see decent candle pattern yesterday Is the dollar finally woke up? We are in positive territory so far today, but only just not that much movement right the seconds Moving on to West Texas crude for a second You can see that 43 30 still the potential support level on here Floated around a little bit yesterday down again a little bit today Cradle inventories are due tomorrow and this will obviously be impacted greatly by the Iranian deal If one has reached by the end of today and usually tends to be a period of brinkmanship in the last day a Lot of commentators saying it's going down to the wire. It could be 50 50 with a lot of stake If it doesn't happen or if it does happen for a lot of regional powers in that area So gold on the back of that US dollar strength has broken through 1186 come out close to 21 period SMA This doesn't look too tasty from a candle perspective either. You've got Three declining candles here a very negative Kind of graveyard doji formation on that last week last Thursday when they're on to the line The only part of support is that 21 period SMA feeling that I moved down to 1137 could be potentially expected Especially the dollar continues its advancement any Wheatening stance in that will obviously help to boost gold so moving on to your dollar your dollars weakening as There are big doubts over Greece actually Not running out of money before any kind of major deal there is Matt They've got three weeks to go and Germany are now pushing the the envelope in regards to What changes they're gonna make to try and show their commitment to the eurozone and also on their on their debt And that doubt there has caused the euro to really get hard. Obviously the US dollar is advancing a little bit there as well 107 86 the potential support is bang on that line just now Which also coincides the 21 period SMA other technicals don't look that great, but they're not they're not giving any signals to sell yet They were just a little bit above 50% levels right here But you are just getting a flattening out of that Mac D histogram Which could coincide with a crossover in the Mac D we should bring a move back down towards one spot zero two finishing up the GBP U of D as you'll be able to see there was just broken one spot 4813 Landed bang on that line last night in the wrong side of it again this morning short-term potential support could be one spot 4625 The other technicals are relatively neutral downtrend still firmly intact So economic data wise you've got German employment data due at 9 a.m. UK time balance payments GDP So those GDP balance payments gonna be good for cable today if you if you place in that trade Let's have Recurring alerts set on these two instances don't want to miss those so make sure you've got that set on your economic calendar You've got your zone CPI data, so if you're trading your dollar that one's going to be quite interesting from inflationary standpoint And then you've got CCI in the US at 3 p.m. UK time Fast forward on Wednesday. You've got Chinese PMI euros on PMI German PMI and UK PMI and You can see there that we also do have up the crude oil and trade you don't want to miss that and Domestic all industry sales so a decent amount of data due there tomorrow some interesting data due today as ever Keep you on the chart forum and insights to get the inside track from a global analyst team and join me again Tomorrow to find out what happened next


Hi guys, welcome to this channel and if it's your first time to come across this channel, by the way, don't forget to subscribe and don't forget to support this channel by hitting that notification bell. In today's video, I got a question that a number of times in the comment section and I wanted us to go through it and try to see exactly, try to hope out our brothers and sisters that are out there planning to come to this Gulf countries. Remember, most of these Gulf countries have become a hot cake for opportunities, career development for some few people and getting bread on the plate at the end of it all. Remember, when we are talking about the Gulf countries, we can't fail to mention the Gulf countries, we talk about Qatar, we talk about Saudi Arabia, we talk about Bahrain, we talk about Kuwait, we talk about Oman, we talk about UAE, we talk about Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sherezia and others Emirates that make up Dubai or make up UAE. Remember, when we are talking about the opportunities, most of the time I keep on telling people, when we are talking about the opportunities, it starts with you. When you wake up one day that I need to go out of my mother life, I need to go somewhere else to look for bigger opportunities, it takes a bigger decision for you to make. And remember, you making that decision, you need what you call documents, you need some documents to accompany you, you need some documents to back up your decision for you to move out of that country. Remember, every time that you move out of one territory of another country to go to another country, you need what you call a visa. Yes, much as you need a visa for that, but there are also other documents or there are also other documents that you supposed to have for you to travel to that country. In today's video, that's what we want to see, what are the documents you require to move to a Gulf countries if you want to look for that opportunity. If you've made up your mind to look for that opportunity or to go for that job that you think is going to make yourself move to another land. So we just go straight into the video without even wasting time. One, first of all before even you plan of having the passport, it's all about setting your mindset to where you are going.  Try out the mind, set the mind, because remember if you don't set the mind, you'll have 50 by 50, I'm going, I'm not going, I'm going, I'm not going, but you need to set your mind. Because remember, most of these countries are faraday different. When you look at the country shows, when you look at the languages, when you look at the climate conditions, all these countries defile all together. So knowing that where you are going is faraday different from your own country. That means you have set your mind to that opportunity. You are ready to accept that opportunity that is coming to come on your way. Number two, you must have what you call a passport. Most of people are planning to come to these Gulf countries before even you plan, before even you think of coming to these countries. Or before even you plan of crossing from one country to another. Make sure you have what you call a passport. Depending on your country of origin, if you are coming from Africa, you are coming from Asia, make sure you possess what we call a passport. A passport is just a legal document. It's a country's legal document that entasties you to move from one country to another. It is accepted, provided by your country or your government of your country, as it is specified there by acknowledges you as a citizen of that country. So you need a passport to cross from one country to another. So make sure as you are trying to plan, you should have what you call a passport. It's very important. Also before also we look at number three is that you look at what you call identify for those people that are using the manpower agencies. Identify which agents you are going to use.  Most of these agents we have in these countries, especially in Africa, they are all about making money. Identify that agent or money power or labor exporting company or recruiting company that you are going to use to facilitate you reaching the opportunity that you are thriving for. That is quite very important. First of all, the use of identifying that agent that you are going to use. It saves time, it also saves what you call the resources that you would have wasted in going to different areas at one way or the other. How people in Africa know what to expect, what I'm talking about. How many times agencies have tried to turn out people down and try to steal or eat people's money without even getting them what they promised them. For example, when you look at for Asian countries, it's a little bit very different because those countries are being added up that the government is so much involved in the recruitment or even the exporting of people or labor companies in exporting or allowing people to move to these other countries. Unlike in Africa. Then we also look at the medical test. This is very important. Most people, please, I keep on telling you, wherever you come to these countries, you'll have to do what we call a medical fitness test. And when you fail a medical fitness test, that means it is not a responsibility of the recruiting manpower or it is not the responsibility of the recruiting agent. This recruiting agent, he or she has done his part to take you to the country. You enter the country, you pass the migration, you are ready in one of the Gulf countries. Then you fail medicals. It is very important in one world or the other. What do I always advise people? If you are planning to come to these countries, if you are planning to come to any of these Gulf countries, you are planning to come to Qatar, you are planning to come to Bahrain, you are planning to come to Saudi Arabia, UAE, when you talk about Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Oman, Kuwait, make sure you check the status of your health before even you trust the manpower company. Or before even you trust the recruitment agencies for that matter. Go to a health, go to accredited hospitals. Go to those hospitals that you think they can try to get the medicals right. Don't trust the manpower company. Don't trust the manpower, especially people coming from Africa. You've ended up in tears. You've ended up regretting. You've ended up with Western resources in one way or the other. So I advise you, look for that hospital that is going to do a genuine medical test before even you travel. So that you can try to save the resources and save the time. To save the resources and save the time. I keep on saying that. Remember, most of these countries when you come to these countries, before even you are given what you call a residence permit or what you call a resident ID to accept that you are allowed to say in this country, you'll undergo what you call medicals. You'll undergo what you call the medical fitness test.  Check for HIV, check for hepatitis B, check for tuberculosis, check for syphilis. All those kind of diseases are really looked at and we're always done you back. The government or wherever you go, whereas you fail the medical test, they will definitely put you back to your country of origin at no cost. Then also we look at another one is what you call make sure you take what you call a yellow fever vaccine. This is quite very important for your own safety. It's quite very important for your safety. Someone will ask me a question. Why is it needed? Why do we have to take a yellow fever vaccine before we can travel? That is having what you call a yellow book. For people who are coming from Africa, you definitely know what I'm talking about. If you are coming from Uganda, definitely you know that you need to have what you call a yellow fever book and you need to have the vaccine with you at one moment. You must have taken the vaccine. Although sometimes the bleach is wherever, but for your safety you must have that vaccine and must take care of it. Because remember, when we are talking about these yellow fever vaccines to those countries that must have that as a requirement, most of these countries have dealt with such kind of diseases for a long period of time unless in Africa. So it will become a little bit an inconvenience for them to go back to look for medicine or to take care of one person with such kind of disease. That's why they normally advise people who are coming to their countries. They should have taken what you call the yellow fever vaccine for their safety in one way or the other. Then still we look at another one, we look at number eight. That is what you call and we look at a police clearance. Most of you underestimate this, but you must have what you call a police clearance certificate. What is the role of the police clearance certificate? The role of the police clearance certificate is to get of you your clean sheet away from any crime that you might have committed or convicted. Most of these countries do not want to have what you call convicts, do not want to have what people who have done crimes in that country. They always want to have people who are low upon people who have what you call a clean sheet. So make sure you should have what you call a police clearance from your country of origin. And sometimes that's what you call a police certificate of good conduct. They always ask for it in these countries. It's one of the documents that they request before you come to this country to clean up yourself and to make sure they definitely understand what kind of nature and the kind of person that is coming in their country. Then also to some people if you feel you have to move with some of your academic documents, you never know it just may drop up. Never know, one day one time it doesn't mean from the start it is one day in one time. One opportunity may crop up. You are in that company. Let's say for example you are a housekeeper or let's say you are housekeeping and there's an opportunity of a supervisor to be elevated. And that time you have the academic document to support you up definitely.  That's how opportunities get to come in. And the end of it all from the housekeeping department or from the housekeeper you may find yourself elevated to another department or to another more higher position. Then also before also you think of traveling another document or another requirement that you should have especially people coming to these Gulf countries. Is have commission, that is commission for the neighbor exporting agents and when they say manpower on recruiting agencies. Remember when you are talking about this recruiting agencies or manpower companies, definitely this is job. This is their job for them, definitely they will need what you call commission for the work that will be done. Depending on where you are going, depending on the nature of the job, they will definitely ask for some amount of money or what you call some commission for their service or for their work or for their work that will be doing for you in case of any of that. So sometime that's why story is very important for you to prepare aside some commission for them in case something comes up and comes very fast. Then definitely they will ask if you don't have then you definitely have to miss out a chance for you to travel. How people coming from Africa, you definitely know that you need to have what you call commission for you even to start up thinking of you traveling. Because the one that has is the one that will get the opportunity faster than anyone else. Then also we look at we say another one is what we call be prepared to take up the interviews. Be prepared to take up the interviews. Remember most of this company they will definitely have to recruit someone they definitely talk to. A person they analyze the person they analyze.  Or even they will do the interviews by Skype. And remember the time that my first time to come to the Gulf countries. I had the opportunity and that was my first time to do the job interview on Skype. And good enough I passed it and after it was definitely after one week I was only told that my visa is out. So as you are preparing for those interviews. These interviews are not there to scare you out.  And which kind of role you are going to take up in one weather. That is why it's normally very important for you to prepare. When you go for those interviews try to go as if you have the job with you. Dress appropriately. Be smart. Be presentable. Be presentable. Most of these times now they do not do interviews on Skype. They definitely have to come to those areas in person. So definitely as you are going if they tell you that company representative is coming to conduct interview for you for the role. Please make sure you go to that place when you are well dressed, when you are smart and presentable.  Don't pretend as if like you don't know what you are going to do. Definitely they have to fail you out. And someone who will be presentable and very presentable will be presentable at that time. Will take the role and will take up the opportunity. That's why some people get to miss out the visa opportunity, get to miss out the opportunity. Because small, small, small, small things that you can do to improve yourself. But you take them for granted. And that is what normally happens in one way or the other. Then still what is happening. The last document that you need to have right now is we are talking about the COVID-19 certificate. Yes, this is quite very important for people who are coming right now. For people who are coming as domestic workers. For people who are coming security. You definitely know they will require you to have what you call COVID-19 certificate. The COVID-19 certificate you must have been, you must have taken the two doses of the COVID vaccine. It doesn't matter how much which one you take. Modena, FISA. So long as it is the one that is approved by that country where you are going. That Gulf country you are going, you are free head to go. Because they will definitely ask for you. They will definitely ask for you. When you get to the immigration, when you enter the immigration to most of these countries. There are apps where you have to integrate your COVID-19 certificate into that app. Because they will definitely track your vaccination records and your status. Mostly by using what you call apps. Meaning that you must be vaccinated in one way or the other. So it's one also another document that you need to have or you need to prepare with yourself before you travel. So make sure as you are planning to travel. Make sure you also take the doses or you take the vaccinations of approved vaccines to facilitate you. Or to give you an opportunity for you to work in this country. Remember now it's the mandatory to some countries where you need to have what you call the three doses of the vaccine. The two doses then also the booster dose. So definitely make sure you have that with you and have the vaccination certificate from your country. If you are approved by the health ministry from your country. Then definitely you are head go to go. Hope I've tried to share something for you. For those people that try, if you try to ask for me this question. If a couple of times I try I try to give you the answer. So if you are planning make sure you put those things into order. Or into consideration such that you can try to move on and move on. Thank you so much for coming back to Seattle. Remember don't forget to give that notification about.
