And so we're going to be going through the gospel of Matthew, and what we'll do is I'm going to take you through the first chapter. Now the first chapter, verses one through 17, we're going to look at, I'm going to just basically cherry pick of you. Well, I'm going to take a few things out of chapter one, verses one through 17, because that's the genealogy. And then I'm going to move into verses 18 through 25 and pick up and teach there out of those particular verses. And so, beginning at verse one, Matthew chapter one, and reading just the first few verses. Matthew writes, the book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. Abraham begot Isaac. Isaac begot Jacob. And Jacob begot Judah and his brothers. Judah begot Perez and Zara by Tamar. Perez begot Hezron. And Hezron begot Ram. Ram begot Aminadab. Aminadab begot Neshon. And Neshon begot Solomon. Solomon begot Boaz by Rahab. Boaz begot Obed by Ruth. Obed begot Jesse. And Jesse begot David the king. David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Araya. And I can continue reading and I know you just love that if I read all these names, but I'm not going to. I'll just go to verse 17 where he says all the generations from Abraham to David are 14 generation from David until the captivity in Babylon are 14 generations from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are 14 generations. And so we begin a study in the gospel of Matthew. I'll say one thing briefly and then we'll move into our introduction which I find interesting when you look at verse three here. I just find this personally interesting. This is the first Hispanic in the Bible, Judah begot Perez. But anyway, there you go. There are four gospels that you have in your New Testament, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. Each one of those gospels had a particular reason. There's a reason for each one of the books that you find in scripture. There's always a motivation. There's a desire to communicate a certain thing and each of the gospels have a purpose. When you look at the gospel of Mark, for example, Mark was written for Romans. And when you know that Mark was written for Romans, you'll also see as you study the book of Mark that because Romans saw the highest ideal as being a servant of the state, Jesus will be portrayed in the gospel of Mark as a servant. And you'll see that one example will be at the baptism of Christ. When Jesus Christ received baptism in the gospel of Matthew, you'll see this when we get there, in the gospel of Matthew. When you see Jesus receiving baptism, it says the Holy Spirit led him into the wilderness to be tempted by the enemy, by the devil. But when you look at the same account in the gospel of Mark, it says there that the Holy Spirit drove Jesus to the wilderness. Two different words, emphasizing two different aspects of Jesus. And so you'll see that being driven to the wilderness gives you the understanding that Jesus was under orders, whereas Matthew wants to demonstrate to us something different, which we'll see in just a moment. So Mark was written to the Romans, emphasizing the servanthood of Jesus. Luke was written to Greeks. And Greeks had an ideal. The ideal man for the Greek was the perfect man. And so when you go through the gospel of Luke, knowing that Luke was written for the Greek reader, well, Luke is the one who emphasizes Jesus being the son of God as well as the son of man. He is perfect humanity. You see that in the gospel of Luke. When you look at the gospel of John, John was writing to both Jew and Gentile. And so as he was writing, there was a heresy that was on the ascendancy, if you will, or at least had been around for a little while. And it was called Gnosticism. Gnosticism taught that spirit is good and matter is evil. That's one of the forms of Gnosticism. And so John, when you read his introduction, introduces an entirely different way than you see in Matthew, Mark, or Luke.  And he goes on to say, and the word became flesh and dwelt amongst us.   When you look into the gospel of Matthew, Matthew was writing to Jews.  Somebody writes because Matthew's purpose is to present Jesus Christ as the king and Messiah of Israel, he quotes from the Old Testament more than any other of the three gospel writers. Matthew quotes more than 60 times from prophetic passages of the Old Testament demonstrating how Jesus fulfilled them. And as we go through Matthew, you will see this quite often. He quotes Isaiah, he quotes Micah, Hosea, the Psalms, Zechariahs. He will do that because he's giving to us an insight into the fact that Jesus Christ fulfills the Old Testament prophecies. Now we know that the author is the apostle Matthew and we know that Matthew was called by Jesus Christ, but before he was called, he was a tax collector. Matthew worked for a high rank in Roman official and he had the job of collecting taxes. There was a set amount established for taxes and anything collected above that amount was profit. So he was greatly despised because he worked for the hated Roman government. Tax collectors were ranked as chief sinners along with prostitutes and Gentiles. And yet Matthew was called by Jesus Christ and we'll see that in chapter nine when Jesus was passing by and he was seated there in receipt of taxes and Jesus said to him, follow me. Now the date of this gospel, one last thing before we get into a few things here in chapter one, the date of this gospel is right around the years 58 to 68. And the reason that it is dated in that general area is because the temple was destroyed in AD 70. And yet you see Jesus in the temple, even preaching in the temple. So obviously this was written prior to the destruction of the Jewish temple. And so conservative scholars say that it was written anywhere from the window of 58 to 68 AD. The gospel of Matthew, Matthew by the way means gift of God. And he's given to us a gift here in this gospel. Now it begins by simply saying the book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham. So this is intended to establish his right to the throne of David. When you read your Old Testament, you're going to see that in 2 Samuel chapter seven, there is a promise that was given to King David through the prophet Nathan, concerning one who would be born from David's lineage who would be the king. In 2 Samuel chapter seven versus 12 and 13, Nathan told David, when your days are fulfilled and you rest with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you who will come from your body and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house from my name and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. He says in verse 16 in your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you, your throne shall be established forever. And so there was a promise that God gave to David that his throne would be established forever. So when you look at the genealogies, there are two genealogies that you know of in scripture. One is found in Matthew, the other is found in the Gospel of Luke. Matthew's genealogy is the lineage of Joseph and that establishes Jesus' legal right to the throne of David. But Luke's genealogy found in chapter three gives us Mary's genealogy, which establishes Jesus' bloodline and racial right to rule. Now when you look at Matthew's genealogy, it not only gives to you and itemized account of his lineage, but it also reveals God's grace. Now within this genealogy, I wanna spend some time looking at just four names. Four names that will reveal to us the grace of God as we see it in the Old Testament. And each one of these names belong to a woman and each one reveals God's incredible grace to us. The women, Tamar, Rahab, Ruth and Bathsheba. It's interesting to note that Bathsheba is mentioned, but as you look at verse six, it doesn't mention her by name. It simply says David the king begot Solomon by her who had been the wife of Uriah. God didn't even refer to her by name, just referred to her by reputation. Tamar, who is Tamar? Why would she be included? Well Tamar is remembered in Genesis chapter 38 all the way in the Old Testament book of Genesis. And chapter 38 of Genesis speaks of how Tamar portrayed herself to a man by the name of Judah as a prostitute. She was a Canaanite woman. She was the daughter-in-law of Jacob's son, Judah. When you read chapter 38, you see what happens in chapter 38, how it's recorded. And you see that God had slain her husband. Her husband's name was E.R., was Ur. And he sinned greatly against the Lord. He was very wicked and the Bible simply says and God killed him. Well, when he died, he had a brother, a brother who was the next oldest. His name was Onan. And so there was, during that day, there was what was called the Law of Leveret Marriage, which means that the older brother, should he die without leaving behind seed and air, then the next oldest brother was bound by law to marry his older brother's widow and produce seed. But the child that would be born through the younger brother is going to be regarded as the oldest brother's heir. So Onan did not want to fulfill that. And so the scripture says, he simply spilled his seed on the ground. And God saw that as great wickedness and slew him. Well, there was yet one brother, a younger one, his name was Shailah. He was to be the husband of Tamar, but Judah withheld him from Tamar. He told Tamar, why don't you go home to your father's house, remain in mourning until Shailah is able to marry you and produce seed and have offspring and all. And so she did, she went and waited. She waited a long time. And when he should have been given to her as her husband, Judah withheld Shailah from her and she was aware of that. And so she found out that Judah was going to be in a certain area. And she went and sat on the roadside, dressed as a prostitute.   And so he was lonely for a woman and he's walking or caravanning, whatever.  And he says, I'll give you a lamb. She says, I don't see one with you now. Do you have a pledge? And he says, I do. And he gives his signet and a cord and a staff, which all belong to him and represent him and all that he is. And he gives that to Tamar and he goes into her and he goes back to where he's staying and sends one of his men to go back to the location that Tamar had been with the lamb, but she's disappeared. She's gone. And so the messenger comes back and says, I can't find her. There's nobody there. And so Judah says, well, she ripped me off. There's nothing I can do about it. And he leaves it alone. Well, a few months later, it's brought to his attention that Tamar is with child. And so he sends for her and says, bring her back. We're going to burn her. She's going to die. And he brings Tamar back to him and says, how is it that you did this and all? And the woman says, well, the one who the signet and that the cord and the staff belong to, this is the one who is guilty of making me pregnant. And he sees them and obviously recognizes that they're his. And he knows that he's the one who is guilty of that great sin. As a result of that, he says to her, you are more righteous than I. And she ultimately has twins for as in Zara. She finds herself in the genealogy of Jesus. The second one that we look at briefly is Rahab. Rahab is found in the book of Joshua chapter two as well as chapter six. And we know her story. She was an inhabitant of a city called Jericho. And the Jews were marching in to take the land and all and two Israelite spies that entered into Jericho. And so she hid them and protected them, only making them make a promise that when they came to take that city that her family would be preserved and her family indeed was spared when Jericho was destroyed. She found her way into Jesus's genealogy. There's a third woman there. Her name is Ruth. Ruth was a Moabite. God said concerning the Moabites, Moab is my wash pot. He didn't have a lot of affection, but she was married to an Israelite, a man by the name of Malone. And her husband had died. And so what happens, it's found in the book of Ruth is she followed her mother-in-law Naomi back to Israel and she lived as a convert to the Hebrew religion and she eventually married a man by the name of Boaz. She became the grandmother of King David. You have Bathsheba. Bathsheba is prominent in 2 Samuel, chapters 11 and 12. When I say King David, to anybody who reads their Bible, the first thing they'd normally say isn't oh, he wrote a lot of Psalms, or they don't say that he was ruddy and handsome and a warrior and he slew Goliath, all of that's part of the story of King David, is the second king of Israel, powerful man, a warrior. They know all of those things, but if I say even to somebody who doesn't know God, if I say what do you associate when I say King David of Israel, they say Bathsheba, Bathsheba. And he's obviously famous not only for his victories, but also for his defeats. And we know the story, I don't have to give it to you in great detail. It's a time when kings go off to war, but David remains in his palace. He lives in the upper tier and all the rest live below him on a hill. And while he's there looking down this hill, he sees a beautiful woman, she's bathing, and everything within him begins to be aroused in. And he says, who is this? I want her to be brought to me. And they try to warn him. They say, is this not Bathsheba? She is the wife of Uriah. Uriah is one of David's mighty men. He's one of his most trusted and loyal men. He's devoted to David. But David's already got in his mind that he's going to be with this woman, and he uses his power, his authority, and he takes her. He has a relationship with her. She becomes pregnant. We all know the story. And she tells David through a messenger, I'm with child. And David attempts to get Uriah to go and spend time with his wife, but he's a loyal man who's on the battlefield and on two different occasions. David calls him in to speak on two different occasions. David says, go be with your wife. But on those two different occasions, Uriah refuses to do so. So David says, and within himself, there's only one solution. I'm going to have to get rid of this guy. Put them in the heat of battle. As the troops withdraw from protection, he ends up dying, Bathsheba. How interesting the grace of God has revealed here to us to people like Tamar, people like Rahab, and people like Bathsheba. Even his inclusive love is revealed so beautifully through Ruth Amorbitus. The genealogy that we see before us really is a beautiful testimony of God's grace in the ministry of Jesus Christ. The Bible in Luke 1910 says that this way, the Son of man has come to seek and to save that which was lost. And we see God's grace revealed. Now I mentioned to you verse 17. In verse 17, it speaks up from Abraham to David, and then from David to Babylonian captivity. And from the captivity until Christ. And those basically are three sets of 14 generations which is intended to reveal God's grace at work in three periods of Jewish history. Now how was his grace most wonderfully presented? Verse 18. Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Then Joseph, her husband, being a just man and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. But while he thought about these things, behold an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you, Mary, your wife for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit.  Now all this was done that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the Lord through the prophet saying behold a virgin shall be with child and bear a son and they shall call his name Emmanuel which is translated God with us. Then Joseph being aroused from sleep did as the angel of the Lord commanded him and took to him his wife and did not know her till she had brought forth her first born son and he called his name Jesus. The birth of Jesus is as follows. What we have here is a simple straightforward introduction. He's simply saying these are the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. Christ who is the savior. I want you to note this. This is written as historical fact. This is not written as a myth. This is not written as a fable. This is not written as an allegory. This is not written in any other way other than straight history. That's how it's being presented to us. He's not making up a story. He's not trying to give a reason for the things that are about to be said that are mythical. He's saying no, this is what actually happened. You need to understand that when you read your Bible that the birth of Jesus Christ was written in such a way for us to understand the miracle of his birth. And he wants to give us the details for us to understand that this was truly the holy thing that took place. In 2 Peter 1.16 the apostle Peter said, we were not making up clever stories when we told you about the power of our Lord Jesus Christ and it's coming again. We have seen his majestic splendor with our own eyes. And so what we have here are events surrounding the birth of Jesus Christ that are not mythological but are historical. And it speaks concerning this. Notice how it says to us in verse 18 after his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph before they came together. She was found with child of the Holy Spirit. Now over time, there have been many things taught and written concerning this young woman, Mary. It's interesting to note that scripture does not give very much information concerning her. When you begin to read your Bible and you look for the different passages that she's found in, you really don't find much information about her. You know certain things. We know her as Mary. But her Jewish name is not Mary. Her Jewish name is Miriam. And her Greek name, what you find in the New Testament is Maria, which is why we call her Mary. We know that she lived in a small town called Nazareth. We know that she had a sister also called Mary. She had a cousin named Elizabeth. She was from David's line, that her father's name was Eli. We know that she was a virgin when she miraculously conceived Jesus. We read that she had a deep obedient and humble faith in God. And we know that she recognized that she herself needed a savior. You see in Luke chapter one, verses 46 and 47, Mary said, my soul magnifies the Lord and my spirit has rejoiced in God my savior. So she was born with an Adamic nature also. She had a sin nature and was in need of salvation. She rejoiced in God her savior. So not only did she birth the savior, but she needed that same savior she gave birth to. Very few things written concerning Mary. The last time she's mentioned by name in scripture is in Acts chapter one, verse 14. So much has been written and taught about her, but scripture does not emphasize Mary. It emphasizes Jesus Christ. We also have Joseph. Joseph's father's name was Jacob. He lived in Nazareth and he was a construction worker. He was a craftsman, a carpenter. Mary and Joseph were more than likely very young when they became engaged. Girls during that day were generally 12 or 13 years old and boys were normally a few years older. Now I want to show you a couple of things here. I want you to see how it says here in verse 18. After his mother Mary was betrothed to Joseph. He used the word betrothed. The look at verse 19, Joseph her husband being a just man. And so it speaks of betrothal and yet it speaks of marriage in the same passage. Now for us, that would be a little interesting. Listen, in American culture, betrothal is engagement. So you're engaged but not regarded married to be married. You're married after the ceremony, but that wasn't the way it was in Hebrew marriage. Hebrew marriage customs involved two stages. You had the betrothal and you had the marriage ceremony. Now Hebrew marriages were normally arranged marriages and a marriage contract was drawn up and would be sealed by a dowry. The dowry would be paid by the groom's father. And you're going to see this later on. I'm going to point this out sometime from now, but the bride price, it's called the bride price. The price was based on the value of the bride. So the more valuable, the greater the bride price. Years ago I was doing a wedding and I don't charge for weddings and so I had the groom and I actually, it was one of those things. Well, you'll understand in a moment. Didn't really know the couple, but you know, I was just asked to do something. But anyway, I was doing the wedding and she wore a veil and when I said I pronounced your husband and wife, he turned to me and he says, what do I owe you? I said, for what? So what do I owe you for conducting the wedding? And I said to him, just give me what you think she's worth. He gave me a dollar. I lifted up her veil and I gave him 50 cents back. But anyway, just seeing if you're with me, just a joke that never really happened. I'm just teasing. I'll get the letters, send them to David Bustamante, care of Calvary Chapel. The engagement or the betrothal was an indefinite period of time. It was normally around a year and it served as what we would call today a probationary period, but you know what it was to actually test? It was testing the faithfulness of the bride, the faithfulness of the bride. And during this period, the groom and the bride had very little social contact. They were legally married, yet they did not consummate the marriage until after the wedding ceremony. They were regarded as husband and wife. That's why you'll see betrothed and husband, his wife. You'll see that because in Jewish marriage custom, when they became betrothed, they were legally married. They just did not consummate their marriage until the ceremony of marriage, which like I said, would take place, usually around a year later, would take place and then they would consummate it in their honeymoon, if you will. So as this is taking place, notice what happens. Before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Spirit. She's pregnant. Joseph, her husband, being a just man and not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. So that emphasizes the fact that Joseph and Mary had no intimate relations. Sexual purity was then, and still is, highly regarded. The Bible tells us in Ephesians 5-3, let there be no sexual immorality, impurity, or greed among you, such sins have no place among God's people. So Mary's pregnancy is presented as miraculous because her virginity was important evidence of her godliness and purity of life. Well, there's only one way for a woman to become pregnant. Joseph knows she's pregnant and he begins to think, what am I going to do? Notice again in verse 19, Joseph, her husband, being a just man, but not wanting to make her a public example, was minded to put her away secretly. He's thinking, what am I gonna do as a righteous man, as a moral man? This is not something I can do. What are my options? Well, there was a great penalty for that sin. It's so different today, it's hard for us to get our minds around this, isn't it? Today you have so many people putting birth announcements in the newspaper and they've had a child, they're not married, but they put it in anyway because they're proud of, they have the whole thing as if they were married couple and so it's really, it's dulled us in terms of what is right and what is wrong and a lot of us has simply accepted the way it is and say, get along with it, you know, it's the times now and all of that. Well, that's never been true during the Bible times, neither is it true today. God still puts a high premium on purity. Joseph is thinking, what am I going to do? I have options. You see in the Old Testament, in Deuteronomy, chapter 22, verses 23 and 24, the law was very clear about this circumstance.  If this happens within a town, you must take both of them to the gates of the town and stone them to death. The woman is guilty because she did not scream for help.  And in this way, you will cleanse the land of evil. Well, obviously, Joseph was certain Mary had been with another man. She had left for Nazareth and she was gone three months. She visited her cousin Elizabeth as it's recorded in Luke 1.39. So as he's thinking, it's quite obvious what she did is she went there, visited her cousin, and while there, she got involved with the guy, got pregnant, came back pregnant. What am I going to do? So he's considering his options. And so he's a righteous man. He's a gracious man, a compassionate man. You see, God had been compassionate to Joseph. So Joseph was a righteous man, not a self-righteous man. He knew Psalm 103 verse eight, where it says, the Lord is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love. And so he makes a determination. What I will do is I will divorce her, but I'll do so secretly. I don't want to make a public example of her because a public example could go so far as to have her put to death. So he's thinking in a righteous fashion, but this man, well, his heart is broken because this woman that he had been engaged to is pregnant and Joseph is not the father. Verse 20, while he thought about these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream saying, Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you, Mary, your wife, for that which is conceived in her is of the Holy Spirit. She will bring forth a son.  Stop being afraid literally when he said, do not be afraid, stop being afraid. Joseph, God is in control here. The child has been conceived through the agency of the Holy Spirit.  The name Jesus, Jehoshua. In Hebrew means Jehovah is salvation.  Here I can get a little bit loud. Forgive me, I'm gonna do my best not to.  While I was in Houston, I was given the opportunity to preach and teach on Sunday morning at the church that I was at. And I gave a study out of Matthew and I shared, do you know what? God's message of the gospel is a transforming message.  If any man be in Christ, he's a new creation. All things are passed away. Behold, all things are become new. And I said to illustrate that, I wanna share with you about what God does. Yes, you can clap, I feel very, yes, God changes lives. Absolutely. And I shared about that and I said, listen, you know, and I told a short story, you know, these people don't really know me and so I wanna introduce myself to them. I share how I brought my mom and my dad to Christ, my sister to Christ, my brother to Christ and I'm sharing about how good God is, how that I started a Bible study, a young woman came to that Bible study, she was saved in that Bible study, I eventually married her and that's how Marie and I got together and I was sharing about the grace of God and the goodness of God and the love of God and the transforming power of God and as I was sharing about that, I said, you know what?  I used to be into the drugs and the immorality and the alcohol and all of that but God transformed my life and he can transform lives. You need to understand that and you need to embrace that. He took my mom, he took my dad, he took my brother, my sister, my other sister and I began to share about what God can do in a person's life and how God can make you brand new and he washes you clean from your sin and as I was sharing about that, I said, you know what? My sister Rebecca was rebellious against the things of the Lord. All of you know this, I'll say it quickly. My sister Rebecca was rebellious against the Lord. She went into a lesbian lifestyle and lived as a lesbian woman for over 20 years, over 20 years. And I said, and she gave her testimony here at this church and as she shared her testimony, she shared how my mom could be unkind and indeed my mom could be before she was saved and even later on, she could be very unkind. My mom was not just one who would verbally abuse her children. She physically could abuse her children. And I don't say that with any negative about my mom. It's just a fact, it's just true. Mama could be mean. And she could say the meanest things. So I was not raised in a home with a lot of love, with a lot of embracing. I was raised in a home where I was afraid my mom could go off and be very cruel. She was. Just a fact. She loved deeply, but she could also because of her pain and her medications and all of those things.  Again, I do not say that in any way to bring dishonor to the memory of my mother. I loved her with all my heart to the day she died, regardless, that was my mom, my Becky. Becky wanted love. She entered into a relationship with a woman. Before you know it, she was with more than one and then the years passed by and then Becky got saved. And this is the story I was telling the church. Becky got saved. Becky had been with mama and mama had been cruel. Becky got saved and when my father died, Becky had my mom moved to her house in New Mexico and took care of my mom for 12 years. And my mom in her last year of life was in a lot of pain. She fell, she broke her back. She broke three ribs. Her back never healed. Her ribs never healed. Her body couldn't heal.  Every day had a little bag that she had in constant pain every day and her mind, mama went into dementia and her mind started slipping and she reverted at the end to the cruelty that she used to have with the kids. And Becky would be in there caring for her mama and one day mama would say to her, Becky'd say, mama, why are you treating me like this? Why?  That was what mom was saying in the last year of Becky caring for this woman who had no one else to care for her. And Becky'd call or I'd speak to her and she'd say, Dave, mama's not being nice to me. Mama's being cruel. And I'd say, better you than me. No, I'd say, good thing I don't live in New Mexico. And I'd say, baby, because I love my sisters and I call them baby in Sweden. I said, baby, just hold on to Jesus. God has done a work, love her to the end. She needs your love, she needs your patience, honey. Father forgive her. She doesn't know what she's saying. Hold on. And Becky, Becky would, and then one day my mom was in her arms and my mom died being held by the woman that not too long before she was saying, I don't know, Becky, I just hate you. And I was sharing with the church, forgive me the emotion, it's very real to me and it comes out, forgive me. But I was sharing with the church, God's power transforms you, that you can be a new creation in Jesus Christ. And even if someone has harmed you, you can love them at the end because of the power of the Holy Spirit and the transformation of the gospel. And I said, you need to know, this is the gospel that transforms lives. And a woman comes up after the service mad, wants to get to me. I say, Marie, come on baby, take her out. She got to the pastor and she was trying to get to me. She says, I want to talk to both of you. I will not come to a church that is so filled with intolerance.  She has four children, apparently left her husband, living with a woman. She's a lesbian. And she thought I was condemning her for her sin. So Ron, my friend opens the Bible and says, let me show you what the word of God says concerning the lifestyle that you've chosen. The woman says, I know what the Bible says. I was raised the Baptist. I know what it says. It's just a small sin. It's a little sin. No big deal. Sin being little is an attitude the world has. It's no big deal. We're all doing it. It's all right. It's no big deal. So what? Yeah, I knocked her up and we put the birth announcement in. We're not married. It doesn't really matter. My wife hasn't given me a divorce yet anyway. And we're proud that we're going to have this child. That's the world's idea of what pride is. That's the world's idea of announcement. And yeah, I understand. I do. I understand the world. Part of it for a long time. I understand it, but it minimizes. It minimizes sin and it minimizes the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. And anybody, anybody who minimizes sin doesn't know the grace of God because the grace of God was given to us to save us from the power of sin not to give us permission to continue in it. That's why God gave us grace to be changed. Not to make excuses. Not to say it's a small sin. How small is it? Jesus took upon himself. My sin was tacked on a cross, beaten for me. His head was swollen. His face was ripped open. His back was shred. And you're saying that's small. That is not small. That is the love of God. And it transforms lives when you embrace it. That's what it's all about. That's what it's all about. We aren't speaking of a mental ascent to the reality of a God who may be good. We are speaking about a God who took upon himself human flesh and died on a cross for us to set us free from sin. That's Christianity. Anything less than that is a sham. Jesus Christ is the Lord of this world. All have sin and fall short of the glory of God. There is none good. No, not one. The wages of sin is death. It is appointed unto men to die once and after this the judgment. But God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life.  That is the gospel. I will not water that message down. It is the gospel. And don't back off and don't back down. It is the only message God ever gave and we will give that message faithfully because that's what God has called us to do. I told you, I get fired up by it, I do. That is the purpose of my existence to talk about the grace and love and transforming power of Jesus Christ who took upon himself my sin. And that's why the angel could say, stop being afraid.  He will save the world from their sins.  And when Joseph heard that, he obeyed. He took Mary to be his wife, knew her not till after she gave up her firstborn son. You see, the Bible makes it very clear that Joseph and Mary had normal marital relationships. As a matter of fact, when we get to chapter 13, we're gonna see that she had other children because in Matthew 13, verses 55 and 56, the question is asked, is this not the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? His brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas, and his sisters, are they not all with us? Where did, where then did this man get all these things? So you have brothers and sisters that are mentioned. They weren't his, they weren't children from a previous marriage with Joseph. That's not mentioned in scripture. They were not relatives. That is not what's mentioned in scripture. It's just a simple reading of the scripture. He knew her not until she brought forth her firstborn son and what he did do, he called his name Jesus. This baby grew to be a man. This man laid his life down for our sins. Jesus is the savior of the world. And Joseph had the joy of raising, think about that for a minute, the son of God. But an amazing man Joseph must have been and what an amazing woman Mary was.


The following is a presentation of TFNN The Tiger Technician Hour with your host Basil Chapman Call now toll free at 1-877-927-6648 Internationally at<PHONE_NUMBER> Now Basil Chapman Hi everyone, Basil Chapman, host of the Tiger Technician Hour<PHONE_NUMBER> and the author of the opening called Daily Newsletter. Hey, look at this. We're looking at the dollar down 0.36. In the Chapman Wave methodology, let me just show you this. This is for anyone new to my notations and make it as simple as possible. In the Chapman Wave, we're always looking for the lowest, most identifiable low bar and you want to count each successively higher peak and alphabetize them on the way up with an uppercase letter going from an A to a G, seven peaks. Within that context, it's the fourth highest peak, peak D. A is the first, B is the second, C is the third and D is the fourth where other things can happen. I'll show you in a moment exactly what I mean by other things can happen. You could pull back sharply, you could have just a moment to digest a phase or you could recycle within three bars to the upside, which portends the chance of having a brand new buy mode going four peaks higher. So it's really important. I only look at three patterns, straight down, straight up. That's one, arch formation or it could be an inverted V, but you're going from the left side low up, arching over, coming back and retesting that, you take it out. That's why it's red. It's pretty negative unless there are certain conditions that are meant to reverse to the upside immediately. On the green side, you've got the cup formation, number two, sorry, number three. And that green says if you take out the left side high in a certain manner, you can go quite a bit higher. So you've got straight line, arch or cup, one, two, three. Or you've got a combination. And that's called I call the dreaded H or an arch formation that fails the left side low, takes it out and keeps going down. On the other side, you've got a straight line and then it makes a cup formation, takes it out. The best one out of the Y formation is the inverted Y. Is when the price takes out the left side high in a peak, a leg C, B or C, which portends a chance to go even higher to straight up. I call it a Chapman wave cup and ladle because it looks like a leg just goes straight through. There's no handle. The handle is this ladle that keeps going higher until it makes at least a D, usually makes it an E. And then it pulls back in and retests the left side high. OK, that's about as simple as I can make it within that. We've got a plethora of other techniques that I use, but we'll deal with one thing at a time. We're looking at from the peak E at 98.68 on the first of August, the dollar comes back down to 97.03, Truff B, call them troughs on the downside with lower cases. And then it starts an A, B and then because it took out that previous high of 98.68. We're looking at 99.23 on the exhale. It has been stuck and when you think the crude oil has been at the lower end of its range and the XL just can't get out of its own way. I and that's another reason why I'm a little concerned about this market. They're not all the little ducks are sitting very nicely here. Look at this, the IYT, the I shares Dow Jones transportation average index fund trading way down to making this little double bottom type thing, trying to trying to rally. It's up $1.55 or 180.22 today. This is not a great sign. That 200 period exponential moving average in the weekend, 173.40. That to me looks very much like it wants to be in play, like it wants to come down and retest that, maybe even go down below it for a moment. I'm watching this very, very, very closely. All right, everything's back working. Good. Let's just keep going. So I'm going to just do a real quick review just because you saw the charts, but you didn't hear it. Let me just show you this again. Let me go back. Let me just see if I can get it in order right here. Yeah, so let me do this. I'm going to go from the SMHs. I'm just going to show you what I'm looking at that the Magdi is trying to turn up, but it hasn't crossed positive. The stochastic is only at 46% to 48%. And every time it's flattened out like this, that's when you've got that arch formation in the pullback. So I am considering that we're looking at for subscribers. And let me do this in Chapman Wave Notations so you can see it a little bit better. This is green. This is red. And this is called the Chapman Wave inside track repellent zone. So within the arch, the declining within the declining cone formation, lower highs and much lower lows, you've got a barrier right here. And it's been struggling to get above it. I'll be right back. Does if I'm the 71 Basel Chapman take a conditions hour, we'll be right back and I'll take your questions. I've got a couple of emails come in and I'll get to those. Since 1984, Basel Chapman has been using the Chapman Wave methodology to advise traders of his expert market opinion. Well, originally hand drawing charts from the late 1970s until the 1980s, Basel noticed that prices under most circumstances virtually always had a certain number of legs to the upside before declining sharply. Later, Basel found that computer software, which included the standard market technical indicators, enhanced the degree of accuracy and calling price turns as well as market trend calls. Thus was born the Chapman Wave sequence.

So I was showing when we came on air that I'd already got a PVD in the Chapman Wave two-minute chart. It made this little cup formation failure pattern. See the way the MACD deflected lowers. See the way you briefly went to 80% and then broke down. That's a negative. So you've gone from the high of 294, 8.25 to where we are at 10 points lower right now. And you've got a PVD and I see that the down arrow at this point is a cell signal, but we won't get a cell mode until we're down below the 2936 area, probably the 2935 area, because you have to wait for these moving averages to also cross negative. So these are really important. The fourth highest peak. Okay, that's number one. Number two is just on the recap, I was looking at the SMHs and I showed, I drew this in, it's called the Chapman Wave inside another technique that I've developed over the many years. I've been doing this inside track repellent zone. And once again, we've seen that the SMHs once, twice, three, four times have been repelled right on that line, going to the green line, which is the Chapman Wave falling axe formation. That's the other thing. The weekly chart, the technicals are kind of okay, they're not great and the price is good. But believe me, you don't want my Mundo Tuesday to see this down at the 117 area again. Because this time, I think if it starts to break below 117, it's going to go quite a bit deeper. Okay, so that's the SMHs. Then I want you to just quickly do the TLT, which I haven't done. This reverse is the H pattern that we were talking about, the pattern that I spoke about in the Chapman Wave methodology. This is another pattern that we just got to monitor closely because if bonds start to pull back at 141.84, they start to go to the 139.50 or lower area. You've got a good chance that you're making another arch formation with very poor technicals. The technicals aren't anywhere closest where they were right at the top when you went to 148.90 and the 28th of August. So let's just watch that. Okay, now the other thing is this, that if bonds are pulling back, what's gold doing? Well, gold, if yields are rallying at this particular point, gold is down 11.74, but stuck in the range. It isn't breaking down. So let's just go through the three things that I like to talk about. One is that the dollar represents the Harley-Davidson of the economy of the United States of America, not the Harley, the company, just the icon of Harley around the world, motorbikes, it's an American motorbike. Okay, so that's the dollar because it is still holding really well after being talked down, talked down, till it just ignores it and so far, it's held very nicely, number one. Number two is, within the context of yields, I was talking to someone who's probably one of the, one of the bond gurus, certainly the company that he's with, he's considered one of the great bond companies in the country. And we're just talking about this and saying, what can the Fed do? You know, the Fed, Fed's kind of stuck with the international aspect of lower rates and yet within the economy, there's some good things going on. And they kind of stuck. So rates can bounce a little bit here, but I think they're in a range and we discussed that. And yeah, they're pretty much in a range, they're gonna be bouncing around. I don't think they're gonna break to the lows of 14.29 anytime soon, but I'm not sure yet if they're gonna break above 19.03. That's a big range, but we stuck in that range for a little while longer. Okay, so I've got all that out the way. I discussed crude oil, better hold, the 40 or 49 area, otherwise it's in real trouble. Now this is the issue that I wanted to get to. So for subscribers last weekend, I showed them and I did a real detailed report on, this is what I show my subscribers every day. I hope I can find that chart. I'm sure I kept it here. It's this one right here with the arrows. Can I find the one with the arrows? Let's just see if it's this one, this one with that one. Okay, I'm getting it. Is that it? I'm gonna give this one a chance. No, let me give this one a chance. No, let me give this one a chance. Yes, no. Oh man, I think I must have just taken it off because, oh there it is. So last weekend for my Monday morning opening call for my subscribers, I send out Saturday, Sunday, I always send out charts over the weekend for Monday in preparation. People like to look and kind of the people who study Chapman Wave like to do this in great detail and other people that can just take the headline of my Traders Corner every morning and just read that opening paragraph. It sums things up as quickly as I can for people in a hurry. So I showed this arrow and I said, if the low of August the eighth, which had a big candle, it was a Meribose candle, and it's Meribose candle right here where it has no wick. I said it's Meribose-ish or type because it wasn't exactly, it did have a little bit of a wick, but it said it went up from the low that was made in August at 25,440, August the 7th, it runs up and goes to about 26,426, I think it was. And then it pulled back very sharply and then it had one little spike that went to a phenomenal new high. Maybe that's the one that went to 26,426. And then it plunged to a lower low. Look at exactly what's going on. I said, we've got the turnaround candle. This is the Chapman Way Roman candle. It's a green candle. It's a good candle. It says you can go up, but beware if you come back and test halfway into the wick at any point because you're going lower. That's exactly what happened here. And then what happened is we had this big green kind of Meribose candle of last Friday. I said there could be kind of a small candle and then a sharp drop. And then we're going to see if there's a rally towards the high and I'll be within five days within maybe in this case it'll be Friday or Monday. Are we going to have a sharp drop? So here we are. We've got the match from Thursday into Friday of last week. It matches that whole August 7th low and retracement with the failure pattern. Where are we today? So this is where we were on that candle. We went to the doji type candle with a nominal new high. We had the sharp pullback yesterday. We had an inside green candle. Now the time says whoops, this is the one where you should have been going to a new low. So now it says, wait a minute, we might be matching but we're actually holding a little better because look at this particular is alive. The MACD is flattening out. It's not great, but the histogram is improving a little bit. Stochastic says there's just no strength here whatsoever. Yes, it's at 40% and it's rallied since the low that was made under 20%.  It should be even higher. It should be in leg B and moving higher. So I'm kind of worried about this and I'm thinking when we are talking about when we are looking at patterns that fail at moving averages of importance. For me, it's the 14 and nine period exponential moving average. If you fail there, that says that's tremendous resistance to break above. If at any point that downs trading at 26,000, man, let me just give it a little room. 26,720 is the number I've been talking about for a little while now. If it goes above that, I have to say, you know what? Maybe there is good news, enough good news to try to at least tackle, get close to the all-time high of 27,306, you barely, you could be there in an eye blink. So this is a very important moment. And I said, and I said, we're gonna be talking about this just in terms of patterns that have repeated and the other pattern has repeated up until now it changes dramatically. If there are maybe another two candles pushing sharply from where we are at 26,471, high to do is 26,314. We got 1,000 points to go before we go to the all-time high. I don't know if we're doing it in this phase. I don't think we are. I think we're gonna be doing retesting slightly lower lows and slightly lower highs as a theme. So that's what I wanted to do. Now, a couple of questions I've got. I want to get to them right away. Oh, we've got a break coming up. As we go to the break, let me see are there any questions, anybody called, but yeah, okay.  NVTA for one of our folders. Yeah, it's just stuck. I'll be right back. We'll talk about it in a moment and we'll talk about twice. And another different topic. If you're in the CD market and looking for a secure investment, the Tiger First Mortgage Program may work for you. The security for these first mortgages are building lots in the tax opportunity zone in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Tax Act of 2018 set up tax-free zones across the country where you can build and hold for 10 years and pay no tax on the profits, which makes these lots valuable. The investment is anywhere from 30,000 to 75,000. The interest paid is 7% yearly paid on a monthly basis. According to bankrate.com, the best rate for a four-year CD in the country as of February 20th is 3.1%. A $50,000 investment at a normal four-year CD rate of 3.1% would give you income of 1,550 per year or 6,200 over the four-year period. That same $50,000 investment in the Tiger First Mortgage Program would give you 3,500 per year or 14,000 over the four years. What should you prefer? 6,200 or 14,000 of interest on your investment. If you'd like more information about the Tiger First Mortgage Program, you can call me at<PHONE_NUMBER>. That's<PHONE_NUMBER>.

How about we're back? So I needed to ask in the den. I just can't find right off. There was a question on a shipping stock. Somebody asked if you can do that. In fact, I was unfamiliar with that one. I don't know many of them but I didn't quite recognize that one. So let's do this. So NVTA, which is Nvidia Corporation, a diagnostic genetics. I really think that this is one of those where if you understand the business, diagnostic genetics, if you understand the business and you can get a feeling for the cycles, Jason, when you get those cycles right, you really, really do well. So I don't wanna really mess with you because I got a feeling this is one of those at the 18.67 level. I'd be nervous if it broke under 17.50. But if it kicks into gear at any point and it's up two points from here, I think that's going to be the start of another move to the upside. How you played on the short term, I just see nothing right here on the short term at the moment. I just don't see anything. I can't do that. So I'm just going to say for my purposes, I'm just going to say you know best how to play this because you usually get the bigger move. I see a bigger move to the 21s. The timing says to me, it's probably going to be a few weeks before it really picks up steam to get into and hold the 1950 to 20.20 area. So it's the downside I just want to protect and that's all I can say is that I'd be a little concerned if it took out 18, close under 18, I'd say, you know what, it's probably going to retest the lows, maybe even take out the low and then your face with the week is still being very negative. So that's an FSLY, which is Fastly. Is that right? Fastly. Fastly is trading lousy 24-70. I'm still going to say stay away from this but please remind me it's only in leg A, probably a peak A in the monthly chart. It's IPO. It's one I'd like to keep my eye on. Well, let's get to that a little later on. I even if we missed some of the move to the upside, I think being early here is hazardous to your health and wealth because if it takes out 21 support in the next week, it could restart the whole thing over again. I don't want that. So I'm just going to say, if it starts to rally, just give me a yell. Yeah, just give me a yell and we'll look at it again. Question I had was, was a star? Oh yeah, I'm a star. Okay, we've looked at star before. This in A, B, C, D. I believe it's a D in the weekly chart making a cup formation trading at 12.78. I'm just going to say that I like this. I like what it's doing. Time is a little bit like FSLY that we were looking at. Whoops, organic. We don't need that. So let me get out of that. Gee, you know, I don't usually get on my cell phone crank calls. So I don't know what organic is. Okay, so 12.78, 0.05.  I'm going to say, let's leave it for now. It may be today's Tuesday. Let's look at it again Monday or Tuesday. I don't mind if it rallies a little bit and you've missed something. Why? Because that weekly chart is still holding very well. But the MACD and Stochastic are weak. So the price is holding okay. I'm going to say, I'm going to give it a pass. Star is not in my stars right now. And DRISE, which is driveship, DRYS. You know, I don't know anything about this. Something happened. This is a stock was trading in the threes. Was it takeover talk or something like that? It's up at the 5.25. I have no idea. I could make it so that I can see the chart a little bit better. Yeah, something's going on. I think it was a take over, take under, take out, take in. I can't do anything with that. But what I do look at is DSX, which is Diane's shipping. Gosh, I used to have this no date. A, B, C, D. Bakes a P, D in the weekly chart. Digestive phase. Gosh, so many stocks have done this in the rectangle formation. It keeps bumping up against. So here's what I'm looking at. I'm going to draw this in so that you can look at a chart and it'll be very clear to you that there's a resistance level that the three point is trading DSX, trading at 349, down a penny. If you go to the high of the 31st of July at 3.53, if you go to the high of 3.352 on the 21st of August, and then the high of, was it also 5.2? Yeah, 5.2 on the 9th of September. And then you look at the last five days, it's determined to try to break into the, into the 3.57 area. How do you play this? And I do say played because I don't know how you could actually, it's in the shipping business. It's really tough for me at least to get figures that make sense. Dry bulk. I like the chart. I tell you what I'd like to do.  Don't buy $100,000 worth of stock. Just buy a tiny little bit at 349. And the reason why is you want to treat it as a stock that refuses to break out. And every time it gets to the Chapman Wave, let me draw this in, the Chapman Wave inside track, repellent zone right there. It doesn't break out to the upside. It just gets repelled. That's why it's called the repellent zone. But wait a minute. When it comes back down, so right in here is the area that I'm really looking at. And that must be, that must be red. So there's your resistance and it couldn't take it out today. But I would say to you, if you want, you could nibble right here. But my thinking is I personally, I would say let's wait and let's see if we can come back to the lower band because every time it comes back to the $3.40 to $3.35 area, it's getting ready for another balance. And that's the way I would deal with it. A little bit here if you want, why? Because if it breaks out and DSX starts to trade at $3.57, that's another $0.08 higher or $0.678 higher. And it holds there. It's taking out that resistance. All of a sudden, this whole area of the $3.40 has become support. So it's a way to do it. My thinking here is that it still says, think about your entry point, a bigger entry point if it can get to the $3.41, $3.56 area. In fact, give me a yell and we'll look at it again. Did anybody ask me, nobody asked me about it. Nobody asked me about it, but I did it anyway because it's the one that gives me the best clues as to what's going on. All right, next question I had was, could I look at, oops, where'd it go, where'd it go, where'd it go? SBLK, SBLK is a star bulk carrier score. So now this is also a bulk, this is a much better chart. It's got the same problem with the resistance. Isn't that interesting? I wonder if they're related in any way. Could one be a holding company or the other? I don't know, but they do have very much the same pattern. All right, trading at $11.21, it has a more mature number. So this is one that institutions will probably be buying. They don't buy the five, but they do buy the $11. So this is making the cup formation since like a cup and handle, no cup and chaplain wave cup and ladle break up at a cup and handle. Look, there's your cup, there's your handle. If they close it just under it and then it pulls back, makes a handle, a deeper handle than I like. It says, even if it breaks out, it's probably gonna have to test that again. The weekly is an ABC, hasn't made a D yet. I like this, it's a lot better. This is the one that I feel more comfortable with at $11.21. Here I do the same thing, I'd nibble. I'd probably say if it gets to the 1060 to 1053 area, give me a Y, we'll look at it again to see if it's ready for a bigger move to the upside. Okay, we've got one segment to go. There's a chunk to do. I'll be right back, you and G will do it as I get back. You and G, that's the natural gas. I'll be right back. That's what champion does at 140.

Hi folks, this is Steve Rhodes. Stay tuned for another great hour of the Trader's Edge heard here at TFNN.com. I'm going through bad. So it was all about natural gas, natural gas trading right now. At 2.23, this age pattern says to me, just be a little careful. The technicals have gotten to the point where it could quite easily have another pop. It's vulnerable to upside surprises, but it's also vulnerable to having to come back to do a lot of testing of the 220 area. I think 220 is going to be key. At this particular point, I would just say, there's a good chance it's going to ready further if we can get to 2.32. I would say that particularly, you're giving up some, but I'd rather be buying a little bit of strength after this move, and then I'd buy it, but I'd have a really tight stop. And if it does that, it is really quickly to get over 2.34. So, okay, let's do this. I'm going to be doing my show tomorrow at eight o'clock in the morning, and it'll be repeated on Friday. It's really important right now for the pattern that we were looking at. Let me just go to this chart here, and then I'm going to go to the one that I show my subscribers every day. This is really important. I don't care what the news is, if there's a break into the 26,720s and it closes in, it's able to do that for two consecutive days, I just have to consider that MACD is going to start to cross positive. But if there's a failure pattern here and we give back a chunk of the gains, we're still holding pretty well at 130 up in the Dow, 17 points in there, it has to be even stronger. But if there is a failure pattern coming into the Friday's close, going into Sunday evening, Monday morning, I'm not sure that this time there's going to be a quick recovery You'll realize that last night to today was a 550, almost a 600 point move from one level to the other, from negative to the upside. And that's all we've been seeing. And then there's a break to the upside and then it comes back into the range. 26,226,000 is the range's key support level. It uses it as a springboard. If it closes under it one more time, that's just going to be a big negative. So keep that in, this is the way I'm looking at the market. In the meantime, we remain short from the 27, I think it was 181 level, the up 27,181 on the Dow, just off the all-time high, and we'll see if that's going to be able to work out. Newest-driven market, be careful, stay tuned, I believe Steve's here, maybe not, otherwise it'll be, you've got Dave White and then you've got Tom O'Rine today. Have a wonderful day, I'll see you tomorrow morning at eight in the morning and we'll be recorded for the show. Have a great day.


You know, winning one-on-one and they were more physical and they played harder than we did. So they won the football game. We didn't protect our punter. Just go right on down the key is what I'm going to tell the team here shortly. So we'll have to get that corrected. Turnovers, they had eight PBU's. We had two. So they got more chances to get the ball turned over. And these are all things that have to get corrected. And I think we'll. I think we'll, but we have to get going here pretty quickly. Like offensively, did you think the play-calling was an issue or was it just more of, you know, kind of execution, you know, guys? I think when we lose and you don't have success, I think it's everything, Ben. I know that you haven't been here in a while or been here previously, but, you know, it's always going to be something. It's one guy in a run game, right? We get started and we miss one guy. Or, you know, we don't have the perfect call. There is no perfect call. And we have to, as players and coaches, not think that it's going to be perfect. It's going to look dirty. And guys and as coaches, we're going to have to give them enough confidence and trust to go do their job, whether it's a look that they've seen or not seen. So when you review the game, there's always going to be, man, I wish I had that call back. I wish, I wish, I wish. And we don't get that luxury. So we have to improve and hopefully get going in drives and get the first first down so that the plays that we do call can begin to complement the ones that we have called and will continue to call and that you get into a rhythm. Going three and out and being behind on the chains and having negative plays make it difficult. I think the defense got affected from the early stages of the game later being out there so quickly over and over again. You know what I mean? Obviously, you want to be able to possess the ball and drive it. And I think that they, again, the ball's on the one yard line. We hold them to a field goal after a poor punt. We hold them to a field goal. We execute down there. It's third and goal on the sixth. We get some rush, the quarterback scrambles. And we don't plaster. And he makes a play on the throw to Hopkins. And I don't know. I know that defensively, your job is to go out there and play defense whenever they call for you. And that's what we have to do. And so whether that takes a toll, our job is to be ready to go play defense whenever we have to. He was critical of himself. He's kind of called himself out on social media. What is your issue yesterday? What were the technique, focus, execution? After watching his play, what would you say for his shortcomings? Well, I mean, you get beaten. Sometimes that happens. And so we have to improve. Taylor has to improve. We've said this before in this league, your best players, they have to play good on Sunday for you to win. That's how this game is set up. And that didn't happen for us. It happened for Arizona yesterday. And so we have to get those guys ready to go to get on the road. It won't get any easier. We'll go out to Seattle. So we'll have to get going here pretty quickly, make these corrections, flush it, and be ready to get focused on Wednesday with a game plan and a way to go out and try to find a way to win. Seeing some encouraging signs from your defense in the preseason, but didn't necessarily carry over, did you discount that now, say it was just preseason, or do you tend to say, you know, this is just point here? I'm worried about today. I'm not worried about preseason. And again, when we have 17 opportunities for second and long situations, we have to capitalize. We can't only win eight of those 17 opportunities that then create third in six or less. We need third and long. But isn't part of the reason you don't win those opportunities because of the preparation that went into preparing to win those opportunities? And when I say that we're going to try to focus on that stuff that we did well, there were stuff. And then we have to correct the lapses. There wasn't that many missed tackles. I mean, the quarterback scrambled around and made a play on third and 10. They made every play that they needed to make. And we needed to make one stop at one time and start playing more complementary football. What was that, Paul, that I didn't hear you when you were interrupting me? Question about the preseason work, but it would seem the preseason work question factors in to your inability to do the things you're saying you couldn't do. The preseason work? Like we played well defensively and we've practiced well or defensively? We've acted for opening day offensively. I know he was referencing defense, I believe, right, John? Right. So now you want to ask me about what? The lack of time together for the offense in the preseason, which we asked you about all the time, you kind of dismissed as a non-factor coming into this game. Nothing is dismissed. That's what it was. And I mean, it wasn't, we practiced with the guys that were available and that we had and that we wanted to try to get work with and try to have a plan. It wasn't that we dismissed it or I dismissed it. It was this is who we had. This is who was available for practice. This is the plan that we had. And then we'll have to go out this week and make sure that whoever's ready for the game and those guys that we think are going to be contributors are ready to go. I know often already that the things that maybe weren't ready for week one or the miscues and the shortcomings yesterday can get fixed in one week's time per se. Yeah, they can get fixed. I mean, we've run the football here, we've thrown it. I mean, there was positive plays. We protected sometimes and we threw good passes and got going and then had a miscue or had a mistake. I'm confident that we'll get things turned around. We got beat. We got beat at home and a home opener. Not that we wanted to, but we have to be ready to go quickly. And there's a fine line between sitting there and pouting. I think we've got to own it. It starts with me and then get ready to work, to work hard, go back to work on Wednesday and start practice off and build towards the end of the week. Not making it easy for, or you mentioned it, being easy for them on some occasions, does that apply to the defensive backs and just not challenging as much as you wanted to? Because I knew that was an area of folks. I mean, it was everything. There was times where we didn't challenge. I thought we challenged and our Christian Fulton was encouraging. When Christian challenged, he did his job. I'm excited to watch Christian Fulton play football this year, which I was really glad that the official picked up the flag because him and I were both kind of in the back and I didn't think he made any contact. And so the guy came in correctly, told him that there wasn't any contact and it wasn't defensive pass interference. And I thought Christian played well. We all have to play well and continue to improve. It just maybe just some loose plays on the edge that we have to get numbers over there. We've got to trigger and get off blocks and those types of things. Or when the quarterback keeps it on the goal line on first in goal, it's like we got guys back there and we know that Carla Murray wants to have the football in his hand and they design plays for him down there. So those are some of the things, just the awareness things that we have to continue to coach and understand and say, did we show you that play in that formation? No, but we showed you a different formation that was still him keeping it on a naked bootleg and it was a one man play. What's that after the game that we need to stop thinking about being good and start actually being good? Sure. Do you think a wake up call so to speak could be beneficial? I never know how to answer that. Like you don't want to lose. Like I don't think anybody wants to lose but hopefully we can learn from this quickly, move on but you have to go out there every week in this league and prove it. It's a demanding league. It's a great league from that standpoint. The challenges that are presented each week are great. And so hopefully we'll come back here together and start figuring this thing out here as a team. How did he hold up in his first action? Well, Bud had some snaps. He ran around, played hard.  I wish I'd coach better and I'm sure all the players wish they had played better, you know, because we lost. We lost as a team. Chandler Jones ran up the field and, you know, I guess made a good play. Chandler Jones just ran up the field, you know what I mean? If Ryan knew that Chandler Jones was going to run up the field, I mean, if they give us the luxury, you know, we've had a lot of success here running boots and that one wasn't, you know, so, you know, that one wasn't, we didn't have any success there. Play action.    But he made a good play, guys. I guess in general, guys didn't do a lot of it, didn't seem to succeed. No, play action on second and 12 is not really what you dial it up for, John. You know, does the lack of the running game really hurt that significantly? Again, that always goes into, I've always tried to say, man, if we can start stringing some plays together and you can get into some drives and you don't have to convert on third down every single time and you can run, you know, you can get some first downs early in the series, then you open up a lot of different plays and a lot of different ideas. No different than when we got into the drive and, you know, Watt and Chandler Jones goes over and we go off on the side and we say, you know, hit the flea flicker.  We had gotten a couple of first downs. They were tired. They came up, you know, but you run two plays and it's third and 10, like you're kind of running out of options. What's the line between a healthy swagger for this team and maybe a detrimental arrogance that's not the best for this team? Oh, I mean, I hope we don't have much of that today. I hope that we're... Yeah, you know, yesterday, that went away pretty quickly. You know, it's 17-nothing or whatever it is.   We want to celebrate as a team, as a unit. But to do that, you have to be able to make some plays. And I'd say that, you know, we should make some plays and that, again, builds some momentum and some excitement. Could you say from Julio when maybe they give you... maybe a talking point already about maybe keeping your composure and getting that penalty? Sure. Critical mistake. You know, I don't think that... You know, those are absolutely... that's absolutely nothing that we coach or teach.  Goes from third and one to third and 16. What's your sort of approach now that you've got time to deal with the kicker situation? What do you intend to do, look at, talk about the next couple of days? Just, you know, determine who we feel like is going to make them and take a look at Michael, take a look at some guys working out. Randy's on the practice squad. Find somebody that we think is going to make them and protect for them. That's the plan. Mike, you got blown out in the first game of a season when you were a player and ended up winning the Super Bowl. Kyle, what did you take away from that experience and is there anything you can share with the team in that regard? Well, I mean, I think that I'm not going to try to get into that right now with the team. I mean, we need to focus on us, but that it's a long season, you know, that you have to continue to improve whether you win or lose, you've got to move on to the next game, make the corrections, try to recognize how important we believe the keys are. You know, we talk about turnovers minus two, we talk about quarterback efficiency, you know, 122 to 75, and we talk about running the football and stopping the run. It was, you know, whatever it was, 130 to 89. So there it is right there. Pretty clear that that's why we didn't have success yesterday. A lot of slipping from Jenkins in particular. You guys got to get that down in pregame and figure out how to keep it. Sure, just like we tell them every week, make sure we go out and check the field. We don't practice over there. Check the sun, returners. Let's find shoes that work. So, you know, our job is to wear the equipment that helps us do our job. And, you know, part of a defensive back's job is to stay on his feet. You know, so that'll be important that we try to focus on that. In preparation this week, did you face a similar quarterback in Russell Wilson and would have just early challenged in facing them? Well, I mean, Carson runs very hard. I mean, it looks like their defense played really well yesterday. Lockett continues to be one of the best deep ball receivers, you know, again, that I can remember for his stature. You know what I mean?  You know, obviously Metcalf and Everett, you know, Russell Wilson is just composed. So it'll be a huge challenge to go out there and handle that road environment. And we're going to have to start here really quickly. Where does Rashad Weaver need to grow to be able to be active on game days? Probably just continuing to focus on his strength at the line of scrimmage and, you know, special teams, you know, developing that, you know, developing that role.   And, you know, he's working hard and give us a good look on the show team. And that's why I talked to those guys about taking advantage of those reps to improve against good players.  I mean, is it just a matter of literally a player just making a play or where it's technique in that? Like, how can you guys keep those type of things from happening so much? What? Not winning? Yeah, not when we win. When we win the game, we usually win the one-on-ones, you know, and when you lose, you know, they've only got 11 guys. We've got 11 guys. You got to put them in a position, you know.  Okay, this is a guy that likes to rush inside or this is a guy that, you know, may use a certain move or this route, this receiver runs a certain route or this is what he likes to do with his route. And I think that's a lot of going into, to win a one-on-one matchups is knowing who that, who that other one is, you know, and what he likes to do. So, you know, hopefully we can continue to gain knowledge of who we're going against and then find a way to execute whether we're trying to block them or we're trying to beat them or try to cover them. In a case like yesterday where a guy just consistently getting his tail whooped, I mean, how do you address that? I mean, you chalk it up to, hey, look, he was just a better man that day, let's spin it forward or how do you address that? Well, address it that we have to, you know, we have to be better, you know, and we have to try to stay out of some of those situations that, you know, would put him, you know, a player in those positions of, you know, dropping back and throwing as many times as we did. You know, we know that that's not ideal and that's not, you know, that's not what we want to be. And if we get into those situations, then we're going to have to be better going forward. You said that you guys lost the swagger with the score early on yesterday. That's understandable. Well, I'm just saying, like, we just, you know, I mean what, I don't even know what the swagger is, man, but I just know that if you're not playing complementary and you're not creating plays, it's hard to have a false enthusiasm, right? We don't want to have a false enthusiasm.   Three plays later. I guess the questions that a lot of guys talked about, how they were building the swagger throughout the preseason and then yesterday happens, do you want them to spend this week regaining the swagger or do they need to have a humble, we just got beat desperation going into this week? Yeah, no, I think that we should say, and again, I hope that we approach every week the same, right? I hope that we're putting everything into each week as we possibly can, whether we win or lose. And if we do more today or Wednesday because we lost, then we're doing a team of disservice after we win, right? So hopefully we, we recognize that whether you win or lose, there's going to be corrections that need to be made and there's work that needs to be done. And I apologize for not answering your question correctly the first time, but hopefully we can take that approach out on the field on Wednesday and our preparation and our game planning and all those types of things and probably make it a little bit more heightened, you know, because of how we performed on Sunday.  I think every excuse that anybody could come up with, you guys, me, the coaches, they would all be valid. Excuses are always valid, right? You can make a case for every excuse, but whatever it is, you know, dog ate my homework, we're going to have to just do enough and prepare enough and perform enough so that we do our job in order to help the team and not live behind any sort of excuse. That's just not going to be good enough here or in the national football league. Thank you guys. Appreciate it.


In this study, researchers found that interleukin-9, Illinois 9, a cytokine involved in immune responses, plays a key role in the progression of COVID-19. They also discovered that a specific gene, Foxo-1, is responsible for regulating the production of Illinois 9, which can be used as a target for developing treatments to reduce the severity of the virus.

We are congregating here today, and this congregation presents a unique opportunity for us to deliberate on and influence policy requirements that shape the ICT sector in adapting to emerging technologies, telecommunications, ICTs. It is no doubt that technological advancement is supposed to enhance in terms of availability, adaption, accessibility and usage. Nations should heavily invest in broadband development and deployment in order to bridge the digital divide between urban and rural areas, especially of developing countries. The COVID-19 pandemic has proven the importance and criticality of ICT to achieve sustainable development. We are witnessing how many of our citizens, especially the young population, depend on telecommunications and ICTs. Our joint focus should therefore aim at ensuring that our citizens are safe and their privacy is protected online. We have seen how the traditional communication has potentially evolved in recent years. This gathering is a testimony of sustainability. We need to embrace moving forward. We therefore need to re-double our efforts and collaborate to continue as harness skills development. All our citizens to embrace technological development, which will eventually narrow the skills gaps between developed and developing countries. Namibia is grateful for the role that the International Telecommunications Union plays in creating platforms such as this or helping its member states develop responsive policy frameworks in this ever-changing technological evolution. We should therefore open heartedly and wholeheartedly embrace the available for the betterment of the globe. Thank you.


Hello my friends and welcome to another Experimental session in Monet cafe. Like I say, this is more like science to me sometimes than art because I just love playing around with these mediums and materials and just seeing what blends well and Creates a good surface for pastel painting today. What I'm going to be doing is I've done this one before and actually shared a video where I I mix up the Golden fluid acrylics and again, this is a color that just works really well as an underpainting Quinacridone nickel azo gold it is a mouthful But if you notice these bars here with the paint swatch across it that shows how transparent it is meaning that the Luminosity of the paper is going to show through it makes for a really great Product for an underpainting, but I mix this one-to-one ratio. I have it on the top here to Remind me with this Golden gel medium fine pumice gel the pumice in it is what gives it the grit that's going to allow Pastels to adhere to and if you're very much a beginner in pastels You'll learn very quickly that you can't just do pastels on a smooth surface It will just fall off you won't get any layers and you'll get frustrated and wonder Why do I see all these other pastel pieces that look so beautiful with color and yours? Just won't even layer or look very bright Well, that's because you have to have almost like sandpaper some grit to the paper now This is just plain old matte board I had a lot of extra matte board from a framing project that I had and it is what's called archival It's acid-free so it is good for long-term Paintings and longevity and so I cut it up the big pieces I have I just cut it into standard sizes with a big paper cutter and I use it to make my own pastel surfaces and It's cheaper to make your own and also you can get different Families of the families of color that you might not get with regular Pastel papers that you buy so what I'm going to be doing if you notice here I've picked out some acrylics now this here that I've used before is fluid acrylic you see right under the golden Name which means it's going to be more liquidy you can hear it Okay, so it's going to apply more smoothly to the surface these are not fluid acrylics this is golden open acrylic and But if you notice the same thing here I've chosen colors that have that luminous Transparent look it's this is very see-through transparent now on the back of the golden acrylics It'll give you a little scale as to how transparent or opaque Transparent means see-through opaque means not see-through this one's very transparent It'll also give you a little Grading on how thin or thick it is and I want to get one that's not too Thick let me see this one. I've got to put my glasses on to read it and I believe this one is Probably a little thicker than some of the others Yeah, it's a little bit more on the thick side. Okay, so this one might not apply as good as this green gold I don't normally like greens for an underpainting, but I thought because of the transparency and the thinness of it and this one's still not as thick as the other one that it might work and Then here is indian yellow. This is in gram acrylics and it doesn't have a thing on the back it does say transparent which I could tell it was and It may not it's a little bit thin too But because these are not as thin as the fluid acrylics I thought I would try if you've seen some of my other videos using clear gesso clear gesso It was another product that can be used to apply to watercolor paper and some of my videos and these boards here and it has a grit to it as well So and it is Liquidity like the fluid golden fluid acrylic So if I need to make these thinner when I mix it with this I'm going to use the clear gesso So that's my thinking. I hope it works and I'm gonna give it a try Okay, what I'm going to do is use the indian yellow one first because I Like that as an underpainting, you know, I like the Complimentary colors as an underpainting better than the greens. I do a lot of landscapes So there's a lot of green already and yellow or gold or red or orange makes a very good underpainting so I'm gonna mix up equal portions of these two and Then I'm going to add some clear gesso if it's not thick enough. So hey, why not just do it right here with me I do have a palette knife around here somewhere That I'm going to use to mix with but for now. I'm just going to kind of guess it I'm going to put in this is a little teeny board that I'm doing here This is just a little six by four. So I don't need much at all. It's good to do an experiment here So I think I'm just going to try maybe just about that little there and Let me grab my palette knife so I can mix it Okay, here's my palette knife. I'm going to open up the fluid acrylic I'm sorry not the fluid acrylic the fine pumice gel and if you notice I've got a little piece of saran wrap in here this stuff dries really hard and If you don't get it off the edges really well, it'll seal itself cement itself shut to the side So I just keep a little piece of saran wrap there. This one's falling apart It does look like the product actually kind of deteriorates the Saran wrap it might have to come up with another method. Alright, so I do it doesn't look like this is clean But it is I'm just going to get a little dollop of the pumice gel Kind of equal to the little dollop of paint. Maybe a little more Get off there. Alright, that's probably good. It's a little more than the paint, but get the right idea here I think it'll be close Alright, so we're mixing this up and what that's doing is it's adding that pumice which makes the the grit to the paint now that is Pretty pretty liquidy, but I believe when I mixed it up with the other quinacridone fluid acrylic It was more liquidy than that So I am going to add a little bit of the clear gesso again, which does have the grit Little bit of this just to loosen it up a little bit. Okay, so you can see I almost did equal amounts of everything And I don't know what I'm going to get here So I may not be sharing this video All right, so Need to come up with a better way to mix this Definitely want to get any if the I think the reason for the fluid acrylic is that you don't get clumps in it And I don't want any clumps in this yellow All right, that's probably pretty good. Whoops. I actually have a little bit more of this Pumice gel in there. Let me get that mixed into all right. Well as soon as I get this mixed up I'm going to apply it to the board right so now time to apply it to the matte board and you could use Some artists have used gator board. I just like applying it to something that is a sturdy surface It's kind of neat to have a pastel painting that is not so flimsy like some of the pastel papers So this is more durable for shipping and things like that. So but keep in mind if you do use matte board it has a side that is rough and A side that is smooth. I actually have accidentally applied it to the rough side a couple of times and you may like that texture to your painting But I just prefer to have My pastel underpainting on the smooth side. So I've got it on the smooth side now All I'm going to do is take one of these little foam brushes. I'm going to get this up here and a little bit on the brush All right, and I'm going to really press sometimes I have to press it with my fingers Oh, look at that. Okay. So we're getting a little bit of that Quality that's kind of like the quinacridone gold. We're still getting that glow Pretty glow behind there. All right. I'm liking that now. I'm going to flip it around here maybe get just a little bit more and This is always a little bit of a tricky part because the stuff does dry pretty quickly But I think we're going to result end up having Yeah, see it's already drying is having a Textured surface that's still got that luminosity to it. So that's pretty neat. I like that one I think since I have it already mixed up. I'm going to go ahead. I've got a little scrap piece here That's not really a standard size or anything but sometimes I like having these little odd pieces to just get creative and Also, I like giving little paintings as gifts, you know, that's just the neatest little gift to give talk about something homemade Oh, yeah, that's already drying already. Awesome Nice. Okay, this one's a little more yellow than when I use this product, but I like it too Okay, now I think I'm going to do one in the blue and the green All right again I don't normally like to use green as an under painting but this one was just so vibrant and This might be neat if I was doing a painting a landscape that had a different Mood to it like a night scene that had a lot of blues in it This might make a a nice under painting. So anyway, I'm sure I can come up with something So same thing. This is now an 8 by 10 Piece of matte board. I do have the smooth side and I'm going to start Again, the problem is that it dries very quickly when you're doing a large size. You're kind of limited Because you have to try to work so quickly and not have any lines. It will create Lines if you don't Get it blended right and fast enough So I'm trying to work fast and get it all across here. It's kind of hard And a little bit of the the texture the lines is good, but I try not to have it Too awfully consistent. See that's already drying over over in here And I if I put another stroke on it, it's going to create a value difference there So I've kind of got that covered and I'm thinking that It's got a little dent in it I'm thinking that if it doesn't have quite enough grit or pumice gel in it that I could still apply more of this liquid gesso after it's dry just a coat of that or even Perhaps after I apply some pastels, of course, we can use our sprayable fixative sometimes to get another layer in okay So we've got our nice little bright bright green one interesting. Okay. Now I'm going to move on Well, I've got a little bit more of this green left. Let me see if I have a smaller thing to do Okay now on to this beautiful blue that's called Magnes blue hue and The same deal by the way, I am Washing this out and drying it pretty good in between because of course we don't want to blend these colors All right, so you probably noticed my last time I did this I actually just used the spoon to measure with now the next ones that I'm doing are 11 by 14s I think I'm just going to do one of them So I'm probably going to mix up about the same amount that I did for the green That seemed to be enough for a few of them. So this if I do the same amount should be enough for 111 by 14. So again, I put about a half of the spoon With the paint and I have to work fast with this one again because this is a big one This is bigger the biggest one. I've done so far. Oh, isn't that gorgeous. Look at that Wow, so pretty. Oh wow Well, I am quite pleased with how these came out. I have Of course the colors that I already did in the video But I also wanted to show how close how similar these are This is the one that I've originally done and have on Some of my videos I think I have two of them on how to make this surface with that Quinacridone Nicolazo gold and the pumice gel and you see it's really close to that Indian yellow that I used actually it's a little more orange and I think I'm gonna love that Indian yellow as an underpainting Also, too, you saw as I did the the greens love that green The blue has a little more stripes in it because it is bigger and it is hard to get it applied but it still has that nice prepared surface and Also, too, I thought I'd show you my failure. I did this one prior to making the video and with this beautiful I think it's called permanent rose. It's just a gorgeous bright pink and It had some clumps in the paint So I think that's what's showing through here But you know my work is so impressionistic that I don't think that's gonna matter. I'll paint on top of that So anyway, that was just a really great experiment I think I'm definitely gonna share a video of me using these but from what I can see they work You know just as good as when I made this surface with the fluid acrylics So anyway, I hope you enjoyed this and look at that bottle. Isn't that just gorgeous? Wow Most of you guys are color freaks like me. So I just had to buy that Anyway, hope you guys had fun and learn something new and I'm just having a blast sharing these videos with you All right. Bye. Happy painting
