Today I have the pleasure of speaking with Steve Saviak from Vallejo Pharma. How are you today? Very good, Tracy. Nice to be back on your show. I got to tell you. I don't know where to begin with your second quarter results and highlights, but how about we start with the fact that your revenues are up 80%. What more does the investment audience, what more do they need after that? Let's start there. Revenue growth has been key. It's been expected. It's driven by, large part, almost exclusively, by the addition of our three new products that we launched last year around this time. Redesca, our blood thinner, and two asthma therapies enter Xeronet Tectura, and they're starting to show that growth and they're obviously driving the sales up 80% over last year, 14% over the last quarter, so very positive. I think the last time we spoke, we mentioned your growth of your team and how that was increasing your expenses, but undoubtedly that would pay off. Would you say you've been successful with that? We've grown dramatically in the last year in terms of people, and I think you need to have commercial teams out there in order to market products. We've grown to over 100 people from about 25, 30 people in May, June of last year, so that's considerable growth. Naturally, that inflected into our operating expenses and created larger losses in the quarters that fall, but what we're seeing is that those expenses now are flat to tapering off, so we're actually controlling them. Sales grow, so you're seeing that loss diminish, and we think that sometime later this year we should be able to break that into a break-even point.  You've been in this industry a long time, so you want to talk about your products. Where do we start? Well, our biggest selling product right now is Redesca, as we expected it to be, so Redesca has that short-term revenue and earnings lift for us. It's a blood thinner used across Canada in hospitals primarily. It's the number one seller in its category. We have 54% of what's known as the biosimilar market. We won't get into too much details about biologics and biosimilars, but safe to say that in BST, biosimilars have taken over 80% of the market. In Quebec, they've taken over 70% of the market, and we expect that to follow through in Ontario shortly, Maritimes and out west. So a product that is going to be the driver of our sales growth for the next 12 months or so, after which you'll start to see our two asthma therapies take over more of the sales growth. And what I like about these therapies, we announced them prior on your show. They deal with moderate to severe asthmatics, as we know there's a lot of asthma sufferers in Canada, a lot of them that are not being adequately treated. And what we're seeing with these two drugs is that in terms of new prescriptions being given to patients, that we are now number two behind Simbacourt, which just to put scale on this, Simbacourt is an over $200 million drug. But right now, we are actually gaining more prescriptions, new prescriptions, than products like Brio, which is over $100 million drug, Xen-Hale over $60 million drug. So we're actually beating these or further ahead than these drugs are. So what that leads me to suspect is our two asthma therapies are going to become mainstays in asthma therapy in Canada. And that means significant revenues, we're projecting over $100 million. And it's one thing to project the other side of this that you show. So sales are growing, but sales come from prescriptions. And prescriptions are, as I say, number two to Simbacourt only in terms of new to brand prescriptions. That's a real important metric for us. And I think for your viewers also, people are taking these products and feeling better with them. So in addition to that, I see you've had a TSX listing of common shares and warrants. Can you provide an update on that? The TSX, I think everyone aspires to list on the TSX. It's the most senior exchange in Canada. It gives you visibility not only within Canada, but throughout North America and into Europe. So being accepted to the TSX Big Board Club, if you will, is a true milestone for us and is a testament to how people feel about our future. Not only are shares listed, but we have a series of the ventures listed on the TSX, as well as a couple of series of warrants. So it's a very good visibility factor for us. And I think it's again, it shows the maturity of our company as we're able to meet the TSX listing requirements. And of course, you've been so incredibly busy. I barely know how to ask you this, but what should we expect next quarter, Steve? Well, I think you're going to see the continued sales growth. It is going to be choppy because of the advancement of certain provinces or the delay thereof, and specifically Ontario. When will they adopt a more active biosimilar policy? As I mentioned, other promises have. I expect Ontario will in the coming months, but whether it will be in July or whether it will be in October is hard to say right now. So that will lead to some choppiness, but consider quarter over quarter growth, quarter over quarter margin expansion, loss reduction, and some potential news on business development activities. Always hard to talk about these because they may or may not happen, but we're quite advanced in trying to add products that will leverage our sales force, leverage our commercial team, and we expect to have something we expect without guaranteeing, but certainly have strong feelings that we're going to advance in those areas in the coming months. Well, as usual, Steve, thank you so much for an update on Vallejo Pharma. And for more information, please go to this website. Thank you, Steve. Thanks so much, Tracy.


Standard of California on behalf of independent chevron gas stations and standard stations throughout the West invite you to let George do it Another adventure of George Valentine personal notice danger is my stock and trade if you're up against something over your head and need help That's strictly confidential. You got a job for me George Valentine write full details Mr. Valentine, let's see if you're as good as your ad says I Am up against something that's over my head a river the river my company is trying to push a tunnel under But we're getting nowhere fast. I hate to think what the reason would be If you'll figure you can help you can be of help. I assure you we won't haggle about price Hmm. It's signed William Cain president Cain and Bowers tunnel construction Now I wonder where I could find a diving suit with a new look Now seriously, Brooks, he must mean the West end tunnel the one they're having all the trouble with breakthroughs and cave-in I could drop in at the globe department store. Okay, Angel, okay But this seems like a job for an engineer not for me Well, there's still no harm in talking to the nice man who insists he's not going to haggle about price Oh, as long as you insist on being mercenary. Let's get going Valentine you don't know how much it means to a former sandhog like me to wind up building his own tunnel I think I can imagine mr. Cain. It's like a kid with a chemistry set suddenly finding out he's discovered the atomic bomb I realize this tunnel project is a pretty big thing and you've had more than your share of hard luck Yeah, way more in my share What did you mean in your letter that you hate to think what the reason for these accidents might be? Well, I I suppose I gotta tell you on a look Cain if it comes and hard Maybe you want this letter back so we can forget the whole thing. No, no It's just that it's tough putting it into words. Yeah. Yeah Me and my partner Jim Bowers. We drove tunnel all over the world Started as muckers shoveling modern slime Got to be miners together you didn't dynamite and drills when you didn't even know what was going to happen next under the river You'd think you'd get to know a guy after going through all that with him Well, let's be blunt and put it this way Cain you suspect your partner Bowers is holding up the works here Is that it? Yeah, but I got to be sure what makes you suspect him at all I found out that the company we have been to get this job made Jim a big offer to come with them But if he's a part me here, what's the percentage for him in a tea like? Well, Jim's always resented that I'm better suited to run the front office up here while he has to work with the men Oh, I get it. So if he could bunch up this job We lost it to the Cameron construction company.  Bowers. Yeah, I did miss and he said that he turned the camera and offer down flat But how can it be sure? Now all these acts with Bowers always on the spot to make them happen if that's what he wanted Frankly Valentine. I don't even know how he can help me Sandhogs are a clan his crowd You can't go wandering around down that tunnel snooping around Mr. Cain's a boy. She'll ever give it some thought George. How'd you like to buy a for instance? Okay, Bruxy. I'll buy well For instance, if you were a reporter and I were a photographer We could be doing a story for a national magazine that would get us down into the tunnel to snoop Say that might be an idea that then you could look around I'll tell Sanders to expect on our wait a minute. Hey look Bruxy. That's a good for instance All right, but this business of we of course I meant we why do you think I came up with the idea? Okay, okay, you arrange it Cain. I think we're gonna take a crack at it Just how far down does this elevator go mr. Sanders about 30 feet miss? Well, that's not too bad. Is it George? Oh, no, no that part of it's all right. I'm thinking of what happens later What are you so smug about? What do you know that I don't know? Hey, you want to tell the lady what happens next mister? Well, miss it's getting into the tunnel that you've got to worry about. Oh, there'll be about 40 pounds of pressure per square inch on You down there. That's why we get to the bottom. You still got to sit a half hour in the manlock Manlock what's that? It's kind of a sealed up room miss We keep shooting pressure into that while you just sit that so it ain't so bad for you when you get into tunnel get it I got it to put it more concisely my sweet unless they're very very careful The pressure of the river had come down on you and flattening out like a jellyfish. Oh lovely thought Well, here we are Hey Charlie come here. We got visitors a reporter and a young lady to take pictures Visitors that's okay. Mr. Kane knows about it In that case I'd better sit in the lock with them. Yeah, you better warn the boys put their shirts on Charlie ladies day All right here folks, okay, all right step in thank you. Hey looks like a bank vault almost Important thing is to seal it air tight. You'll see what I mean when I close this door George, what's that? That's the air from the tunnel coming in through this valve lady When the pressure in here is the same as it is out there that big door opens by itself Then you're ready to go under the river Won't you sit down miss Brooks? Yeah, it usually takes about a half hour. Oh Just about a minute more now. You're all right, Brooks. I I'm just swell My ears it's even worse coming out You're in too much of a hurry. That's when you can get the chokes and a bend Nothing like having things to look forward to you I have to put these little metal tags around your neck. What are these Charlie all sand hogs wear them It's in case you're found staggering around tells the cops not to throw you in with the drunks But they'll rush you back here to this decompression chamber. They don't waste much time. You'll probably live Oh goody. You sound like an old sandhog yourself Charlie. You can't stay away from tunnels, huh? Oh, Mr. Valentine I'm just like Jack Benny. I'm still 38 Yeah, that was the same age when I helped build the Holland Tunnel back east just got out of here a few months ago Yeah, that's it There goes the door It's okay for you to go into the tunnel now. Hi. Come on, Bruxie But there's all this nice water to slush through That ought to help keep cool things off Still put your back in there with Charlie No, I was just thinking of my nylons George Where'd you two come from you Bowers? Yeah, what are you doing down here with a girl that bring me more trouble Trouble look mr. Kane said it was all right for me to do a story about the tunnel the young lady is here to take the pictures story And all kane's got to think up up there. I'd like to go up and tell him The tunnel head what yes bad this time the scaffolding came down with a lot of guys on it Ah scaffolding come down on every job young Kavus is down there caught under all that rock and sand We got to get him out. I'll get the ambulance hargan, but you get back there I took that break go on Davis wouldn't be there now bars If you sent that gang up tunnel far enough when the blasts come off look sand hard Don't tell me how to build a tunnel. I'll tell you anything.  There's a story how we lost another day. Yeah, what about the man you just lost? This is one accident. They won't blame on me Our woman in the tunnels are worse jinxer is kane knows that I got a phone upstairs for an ambulance I see the two partners are working late tonight. That's good. Oh Valentine to get a good story out of that accident today.  I wasn't born yesterday.   Let me do some talking What I have to say will be short into the point. Yeah. Yeah, I did some checking today Fours isn't the only one who might profit by these accidents You could too kane, huh? What are you talking about? Let's hear some more. I had a talk with the city engineer He said he doesn't know how you can do this job on the bidger put I well I admit I was figuring close to the line But we would have made it if things went right So the boy in the stiff shirt comes up with another bad deal And kane you had the foresight to take out insurance to protect you in case you went broke building this tunnel Well, that's a natural precaution. Oh, yeah, but it was a personal insurance policy taken out in your name Not for the firm. What's that Jim? I know how you've been spending money So I paid the premiums, but I was only thinking of the company Well, here's what I'm thinking kane The insurance company would pay off if none of these accidents could be traced to you And you'd be safe from ruinous from a ruinous bid. Yeah, but that's how it might look But look if there's one thing I don't like it's to be kitted along Now do you still want me to find out what's behind those accidents? I have nothing to fear Valentine That's why I hired you. I know I'm clean right ahead Valentine. Okay, okay, if you're sure that's what you want Of course, you heard what I said. You ever just remember if I dredge up something from the bottom of that river that you don't like You're the guys who ordered it We'll return to tonight's adventure of George Valentine in just a moment Meanwhile a word about parlor pastimes Remember this game a few years ago somebody would say knock knock and you'd say who's there? Many a good gag and many a laugh came out of this game But at the same time there was another kind of knock knock that was no laughing matter For it was in your car's engine and engine knocking often caused over stress of parts severe temperatures waste of power and gasoline Today motor fuel engineers have this problem under control at standard of California They blended several different gasoline into one great motor fuel chevron supreme gasoline Laboratory tests and road tests prove that premium quality chevron supreme burns smoothly as high anti knock value In your new car or an older one try chevron supreme yourself Besides anti knock value you'll find it has all the qualities your car needs for good going You can get chevron supreme gasoline at standard stations and independent chevron gas stations where they say and mean We'll take better care of your car Now back to tonight's adventure George Valentine and a million dollar tunnel burrowing deep under a riverbed a series of Unexplained accidents that stop the job cold. Why that's the answer George has to supply But so far all he's learned is the rather startling fact that both partners in the contracting firm of Canaan bowers Have their own good reasons for wanting to see the tunnel left unfinished Right now George and Claire have just entered Hogan's hogpen hang out of the sandhogs where big Bill Kane is talking to his workers And I know we've been falling behind down in the tunnel, but you know Jim bowers and me with sandhogs ourselves We can lick this job, and I've even hired Valentine here to make sure about them accidents Now here's an offer you make up for lost time, and I paid time and a half to every man from then on I could swallow that better Bruce if I didn't know about that insurance policy came to God I like boys and I from a partner just major suits me too. Just wanted you to know I could swallow that easier if I didn't know about the offer bowers got from that other construction company Well, I don't know about you boys, but I still have my doubts Don't get me wrong mr. Kane I like making extra money But when a job like this gets off on the wrong foot it never straightens out. All right charlie. You're just getting the jitters All right go on and laugh But I wouldn't be surprised that if we pushed that tunnel another 50 yards We'd run into a ledge of gravel and hard pan boulders will never get past just more trouble Now what we want to know from you boys is are you with us or not? Oh, fine. That's all we want to hear. Drinks are on. Kane and Bowers.  Where are we going George? Just riding a hunch. We've got to be someplace before five o'clock I wish you'd hurry mr. Valentine. You know the bureau of harbors in waterways closes at five o'clock. Yeah. Yeah, sure Be through in a minute. Yeah, I think I found the map I want topographical survey riverbed section v Oleander through peri street. Well, that's just where the tunnel is being built, George Very interesting And this would be around pier 19. What are you talking about? I'm not quite sure Bruxy But we're going to ride that hunch a little harder You're the watchman on this pier pop. Yep in here for the last 15 years, huh? Hey, would you tell me something? Yeah? Those white bubbles coming up there on the river Yeah, that's where they're working on the new tunnel son. That's as far as they got in all these months Yes, we read they're having a lot of trouble and they keep working day and night too Can always tell by the position of that trawler out there just where they're working You don't say yep. She's there every night, too Sort of keeps right ahead of the tunnel I can tell that for the bubbles that come up out of the water I wonder what the trawler has to do with the tunnel. Yeah, I don't know Man goes over the side in the diving suit every night. I suppose that's got something to do with the tunneling job, though Probably he's kind of a traffic cop down there clears out the fish so they can go ahead Traffic cop, all right. Hey pop, you've been a great help. Thanks a lot. Yeah, you're welcome Now where George Angel what do you say I hire a motorboat and we take a nice romantic ride on the river Okay, George, I agree with you a trawler on top of the river has nothing to do with the building of a tunnel under the river Then brook see why is it here every night always just ahead of the shield of the tunnel? That's more than a coincidence There it is up ahead What are we going to say to whoever's aboard may we drop up for a cup of old fashioned clown chowder? If you don't mind young lady. I'll do the talking as always Hey up there Hey, can we come aboard? Well, uh, the truth is we ran out of gas and we don't Surely you couldn't spare enough gasoline just Hey, what are you trying to do? Look brook see I cut the name on that trawler It's the martha m tomorrow morning first thing check on the registry see who wants it then pick me up at the tunnel I had to look around charlie How long have I been sitting here in the manlock? Oh just about 15 minutes Seems like Like I just got in here And charlie I don't feel so good.  Will you get some fresh air? Hey, look officer I know I know where I want to go. Help me. What is it? Yeah, you need a lot of help, mister I've been watching you weaving down the block. I I'm very sick. I feel run. I wonder why I Think I got the bends. Yes, and you've been bending over the bar too much Hey, take me back officer The the tunnel there's only one place. I'm taking you to jail so you can sleep it off. Come along with you now Look, mr. Cain. Mr. Bowers. I know mr. Valentine was here at the tunnel this morning Okay, but what you're so excited about miss brook. He was supposed to meet me at the shaft And he never would have gone without leaving some kind of message I wouldn't worry about valentine I found out what he wanted to know and he was waiting for that information Information about the tunnel a kind of information. I'll let mr. Valentine tell you. Do you mind if I use your phone? Please headquarters, let me talk to lieutenant riley Okay, I'll wait. Look, we hired your boss so we could keep this thing confidential. Yeah, that's right Let's forget about ethics boys the man who's among the missing and someone I happen to care a lot about Hello, oh lieutenant riley. This is brooksy Oh, I need your help I can't find george Oh, look lieutenant. Will you check the jails and the hospitals and see what you can come up with? Oh, believe me lieutenant. I know what I'm talking about We traced him down for you lady, but you're not taking him out of here Oh, take it easy dawning best thing is to let him sleep it off Can't you see this man is sick? He's got the chokes the bends We've got to get him back to that decompression chamber at the tunnel What are you talking about? I'll show you wait a minute This tag here around his neck is I can't breathe you. Oh, so they took it off him Well here they gave me one too here read it This man is a sandhog The compression chamber Russia Okay lady you win and I hope we make it Hello, angel. Oh darling. I thought you'd never open your eyes. Why doesn't somebody turn that radiator off? It's hissing we're back in the manlock george. That's why you're feeling so much better Hey, but what happened? Well, you were down in the tunnel this morning and you must have come up too quickly That's why they picked you up in the street wandering around. Yeah. Yeah, I remember coming up Then everything's suddenly going blank. I got all the dope on that trawler the martha m. Yeah Well, it has nothing at all to do with the tunnel It's registered in the name of cw egan and his wife martha m egan. Oh, yeah And the eagans were out fishing cw in a diving suit and martha m with a rifle instead of a rod and reel Hmm George, there's something else. No, there couldn't be there was another accident in the tunnel Oh, what kind of accident? I don't know I'll get over to that phone on the wall brook. See I want to talk again. Okay, george Hello, hello Yeah, hello. Bill kane. Yeah, this is valentine kane. Okay. Oh sure. Just dandy What kind of accident was it now? Oh tunnel nearly got flooded. Yeah. Yeah got killed Charlie but when we found him he was over his head in the muckpile. I see I don't know what the answer is, but it's the end of old charlie egan Egan george, what is it surely egan? So that's the answer. What's that valentine kane get powers and wait for me in your office First I want to see a lady about a boat. Then I got something to say to you Valentine you don't know what you're saying That's the same gentleman. It was charlie egan who was responsible for all the trouble here at the tunnel That doesn't make sense. He was just a lock tender. He gave him the job more out of pity than anything else. Okay. Okay, then listen to this Do you remember what charlie said at the hog pen? Oh, not particularly. He said if the tunnel went another 50 yards It would run into a ledge of gravel hard pan and boulders. Well Well a map of the bureau of harbors and waterways didn't show it But charlie knew exactly what he was talking about. Uh, how would you know that? That's funny I asked myself those same questions How would an ordinary sandhog just in from chicago know the exact topography of the riverbed? Yeah He suspected I was getting wise and saw to it that I got a good case of the bends this morning Just to make sure I was a dead duck. He took that tag from around my neck. Yeah, but why would he crazy? That's a matter of opinion I didn't want to believe the reason myself when I found out I talked to missus egan She's the lady on the boat now. She's in the outer office right now Suppose we have her in and see if it's any easier for you to believe her story anything you say valentine Okay Well, do you come in please mrs. Egan? All right I want you to repeat just what you told me What shall I tell them a two people wasted their lives looking for a will of the width A treasure you were always going to find the next day treasure. Yes Sensible people don't believe in buried treasure and sunken ships bulging with gold But charlie did now wait a minute. He was the eccentric cwi egan who spent a fortune and 20 years of his life Looking for ships that had sunk with treasure a boy and fantastic as it may seem gentle when he found one Didn't he missus egan just a couple of months ago. He went down into the river every night He kept prowling around the hull of that boat He knew that there was gold there somewhere He kept saying he'd find it any day now his treasure and then cane and bowers started to drive a tunnel Yeah, charlie knew it was going to meet head on with the granada the old spanish galleon He knew was there became a race against time. That's why he got a job here It all he could to keep the tunnel from getting any farther. Yep, and at night every night he'd go down to look some more And i'd help him And today was his last desperate attempt to flood us out Yes He wasn't going to see anybody get to his treasure as long as he lived And he kept his word Well, brooksy here's the check from cane and bowers. That's all washed up. So what do you say we go out stepping tonight? Hey, did you see the paper this morning? No, why well, they raised the granada out of the river last night They did and there was a treasure chest just as charlie knew all along Oh, so old charlie was right after all yep a chest packed to the brim with old spanish coins George, how romantic. Oh, yeah, but old charlie wouldn't have been too happy about it No, why the whole batch was worth about a hundred dollars And now a message of importance to motorists Maybe you've got your vacation trip all mapped out But how about the family car before you start out better? Make sure it gets a thorough vacation check at your standard station or independent chevron gas station They'll inspect your tires battery spark plugs and oil filter They can tell whether there's any risk of your fan belt getting out of kilter And they'll make sure that each vital lubrication spot is okay Besides helping you get off to a good start on your vacation There's another thing about independent chevron gas stations and standard stations Wherever you motor in the west you're never far from their quality products and superior services And don't forget whether you're on a vacation or just motoring around town These are the service stations where they say and mean we'll take better care of your car Next week when you tune our way for another adventure of george valentine, you'll hear Bruxy, I want you to get down to headquarters as soon as possible.

I have to switch over to the Thing to make demon demon founder So the armors fears no So I got what five more quests Before these are done Before I have all these adamant seeds and flash bugs. Oh Ooh, Gil cards gimme See I'm gonna see you guys still here Yes, so yeah, I've kind of got a geared set started. I Think I want to go nerga gun to beta. I want to get more betas because I have no I have no gym slots I've been buying all these alpha things So I gotta start I gotta start building beta stuff. I feel like I'm I'm I'm gimpin myself Um You guys want to get some armor spheres or one of the event things. Oh I don't want to do that. Actually I do. I want to look at the events Man 50 minutes for five monsters for 30k. I'm pretty sure the HR 100 plus people can just roll through that. No problem We could do two Uruguans for some armor spheres And I should get HR from that a little bit not a lot Yeah, let's let's let's just knock that out. Let's knock that out. I don't like them either, but They gotta die It's just it's just it's part of the experience.  That's for sure. I got it.   He was just over here. I Saw him. Did he roll this way? I guess he rolled this way chat. He rolled this way Let's just another one over there. Hold on. I think I think the guys up there found another one Yep What's the quickest way to him? I'm coming Useful as you need to bop the horns off. That's true That's true. I just like having things sit still so I can do damage I get tired of chasing stuff in this game. It's one of the most. Oh Was that the other one over there? This war us out too.  So we got a horn. We got a bow gun And a bow. I'm starting to recognize these icons.  I did too late chat Why can't I make wrong buttons?  I'm real. Oh, it's LB. Oh my gosh I'm just hitting all kinds of wrong buttons chat Wrong buttons. I'm trying to heal early on. I'm trying to switch back to my Normal stuff, but it's like this. I'm hitting guard There we go.  Oh my goodness. I keep popping potions. I'm trying to Break out my weapon without doing that I thought it was why to break out your weapon without Doing that Okay He's kind of annoying to fight with charge blade, but I'll get over it lots of roly-poly in and around If you were doing your weapon job drawing the axe using guards and just guard the second time to switch a Point of two in the guard skill also helps a ton for your blocking They weren't kidding. That's Wow, that's four armor shards or armor. Yeah yes See here's the thing man. I got it down like in the last stream I did world and then I went over to Generations and generations you press X to break out your weapon now. I keep doing that in this game. You see me popping potions Because that's the button to drink potions. I kid. It's hard for me to switch. I got I gotta I gotta figure something out I thought I could synchronize the controls, but I'm making it harder on myself. Really am It might be easier if I just go back to PC controls Cuz trying to use switch controller on both of these is really Really hurting me like bad. It's hurting me bad chat. What is this? Monster bra all this Yeah, dude, I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna We're gonna Where I'm plugging this this is gonna be strictly for generations and I'm gonna learn generations on the controller not on PC Um That's just making my life worse It's just making my life worse It's two different controller sets on the same controller, man. I can't I can't even all right so now I got to unlearn what I just learned and It's cute right? Yeah, there we go. I was actually getting pretty decent on the on the keyboard mouse It's like when I start getting good to something I switch it's like I can't get good at the game I must make it hard to where I'm not Wait, did you post a quest?  Okay, good. All right Let's do that again, and I'm happy with this decision already happier with this decision. Oh Man these guys are definitely annoying though So I know shift is one of my main keys on PC for like special attack So it's gonna probably be shifting right click for all the stuff I got to do No, I think I think I'd remap control. I Remap control the shift on on everything. That's one of the things that was recommended by that big youtuber and I kind of agree with it because I Kind of agree with it. It'll come back to me. This will be like muscle memory. I'm gonna derp around but what else is new, right? Like these emails All right, oh Man my brain feels happy you're just doing it was it was such a Conflicting thing that to manage those two different controller sets on the same controller for two different games Are we gonna go after this guy or not right here? Always eat below. I didn't know the different horns have different Notes and stuff. I thought they all just I thought they all just went wub wub wub. All right, so this is that attack and And That's oh, yeah, perfect So right click is gonna be what B was and left click is all gosh This is I'm just gonna have to go left click and there and left click right click and then oh, this is gonna be so much better All right, so how do I do the charge next slide? guard Right click. Okay Guard right click chat. I did it too late. Wow. I almost got it that time. Okay. That's not that's not guard Oh my gosh. I can't tell you how much better. I like this almost Almost got it. I got changed the thing back to uh, I got changed it back from the wheel to To the function keys. I feel like I'm back home chat. Man. He is spinning all over the place. I don't like you Sir and or madam I'm not charging long enough. Oh my uh on this.  What hit me. Oh, somebody else is kid. Just going that. I'm not following him chat Works for me. That's one Collider us welcome. How you doing? I'm on that charge blade kick now. Okay, the flies are taking me to the old one which gets on my nerves Did he where'd he go? Follow the drip. Okay. I'm excited now Like going back to keyboard and mouse just I Just saw I just like leveled up in like like ten thousand different ways I'm like, oh, it's so easy now.  I Really was handed. I've been handicapping myself like throughout this entire process Like I keep changing controls. I keep changing weapons.  I don't know what hit me there But I am shaking like a boss. Oh, I got it. I didn't even see my animation and I got it Wow, I kind of guess if you guys for saving my life Why won't he do it? Oh, we do have to capture. Whoops. I'm glad I miss. Oh, this heartbeat still kind of high


the figure there is a rod all right so on the rod at the bottom there is a small heavy block let's say mass is m and length of the rod is l all right now this mass can be rotated about its clamped other end so about this end this mass can be rotated so this mass can be rotated like that okay so it goes on a vertical circle all right what is a minimum horizontal velocity should the block be given so that it moves in a complete vertical circle all right so it is asking what is this minimum velocity let's say you for which this block will complete the circle all right now you might have done a similar question when it was not a rod it was a string okay but in this case we are dealing with rod not the string okay so there is no worry of string becoming slack all right so it does not matter because a rod can create a compressive force and it can also create a tensile force so rod will support both types of forces fine so there is no constraint as such with respect to tension becoming zero now the only way it will complete a circle that it reaches the top of this circle isn't it because the topmost point is the critical point out here as it moves up the potential is increasing so its kinetic energy will go down so at the max at the max height the kinetic energy will be minimum right so if if I am talking about the limiting condition or this minimum velocity u I will ensure that entire kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy fine so now we have point number one and point number two so if I use work energy theorem which is w is equal to u2 plus k2 minus u1 plus k1 I see that here we don't have you know a force other than gravity which is doing any work right and for gravity you have already considered the potential energy right you can say that work done by the raw sorry the force due to the rod is there okay but that force is always towards the center whether it is compressive or tensile force it is always along the radius and the movement is tangential it is along the circle so the force is always perpendicular when I'm talking about the force due to rod right so work done in this case will be zero okay u2 is what the final potential energy of the block when it reaches the top that is equal to what mg into 2l okay and kinetic energy is what at point two kinetic energy is zero at point two the velocity goes to zero all right u1 is what initial potential energy I'm taking that as zero right I can take any horizontal line and I can assume that to be every zero potential energy so this is zero gravitation potential energy this is a reference fine and k1 is what k1 I can write as half m into u2 all right now when you solve this particular equation you will get u is equal to under root of 4g l okay so this much meter per second should be the velocity of the block so that it reaches that top most point and at the top most point if it has lightness of the movement this side it will again move that side and then it will be able to complete the circle okay so that's it with respect to this particular question so I hope you have learned something today in case you have any doubts please feel free to get in touch with us okay thank you

Tonight we're in Luke chapter 11. We're gonna look at verses 14 through 26 as we continue our verse by verse study here in the book of Luke. And so let's begin reading together at verse 14. And I'll read verses 14 through 23 and then I'll pick up at verse 24 and conclude at verse 26. So beginning at verse 14, Luke writes he was casting out a demon and it was mute. So it was when the demon had gone out that the mute spoke and the multitudes marveled. But some of them said he cast out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons. Others, testing him, sought from him a sign from heaven. But he knowing their thoughts said to them every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and a house divided against a house falls. If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say I cast out demons by Beelzebub. And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. When a strong man fully armed guards his own palace his goods are in peace. But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoils. He who is not with me is against me and he who does not gather with me scatters. Now this particular work that we see here recorded in Luke is also recorded in two other gospels. It's recorded in Matthew chapter 12 as well as Mark's gospel chapter three. And in both Matthew and Mark, the writers there make it very clear that Jesus is speaking here concerning something that has been called the unpardonable sin. The sin is referred to in Mark as well as Matthew as blasphemy of the spirit. We're gonna be looking at blasphemy of the spirit in this study today. The unpardonable or the unforgivable sin. You see in Mark's account of this particular occurrence here in Mark chapter three versus 28 and 29, Mark says that Jesus said, assuredly I say to you all sins will be forgiven the sons of men and whatever blasphemies they may utter. But he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness but is subject to eternal condemnation. And so the context of what we're looking at tonight really relates to a sin that has been referred to as the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. In order to develop this study, I need to remind you of a few things. I need to remind you of a consistent message that we find throughout the Bible. And the message is very simply put, man is by nature sinful. You see that from the Old to the New Testament. You see that in Psalm 51 verse five where the Psalmist said, surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me. You see that in Ecclesiastes chapter seven verse 20 where the writer says there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin. You see it in the book of Romans in the New Testament chapter three verse 10 where Paul simply says there's none righteous, no not one. As well as first John chapter one verse eight, if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. And so one, the Bible makes it very clear that we by nature are sinful. Sinful as the Psalmist said at birth. Secondly, the Bible reveals that sin has consequences. Sin results in separation from God and ultimately leads to death and judgment. Ezekiel 18 20 says the soul that sins it shall die. And in Romans chapter five verse 12, Paul said sin entered the world through one man and death through sin. And in this way, death came to all men because all sinned.  Again in Ecclesiastes chapter three verse 17, God will bring to judgment both the righteous and the wicked. Hebrews nine 27, it is appointed unto men to die once and after this the judgment. Revelation 20 verse 15, anyone not found written in the book of life is cast into the lake of fire. And so you see man is sinful by nature as sinned against the righteous God and ultimately is gonna stand before that God in final judgment. With all of that said, there's a message that is also consistently repeated as a theme of scripture and that is God is a just judge. God also is a loving and forgiving God. And so his justice is also tempered by his love. And so we can see throughout scripture that the Lord, though he is just, also makes a way for us. In Psalm 86 verse five, the Psalmist said you Lord are good and ready to forgive, plentiful in mercy to all those who call upon you. And so no matter how terrible the sin is, God will forgive it. What could be worse than killing God's son? And yet the Bible tells us that Jesus when he was on the cross praying said in Luke 23 verse 34, Father forgive them for they know not what they do. So God will forgive us no matter how terrible the sin is, no matter how long a person has sinned, God is able and willing to forgive even a lifetime that has been filled with an ear mic by sin can be forgiven in a moment when we come to the Lord and ask for his forgiveness. All we need to do is think of the thief on the cross and we can see that he there dying on a cross next to Jesus still receives pardon from him. And so we know that no matter how long somebody has sinned God is willing to forgive. No matter how terrible the sin is, God is willing to forgive. No matter what kind of sin is, God is able and willing to forgive. No matter what the sin is, God can and will forgive it. You can see this throughout scripture but 1 Corinthians chapter six verses nine through 11 says do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? He goes on to say do not be deceived and gives a list of sins.  And that is what some of you were, but you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the spirit of our God. That's what you were, but that's not what you are. When you're born again, you're washed and justified, you're regenerated, you have a brand new life. If anyone is in Christ Jesus, there are new creation. All things are passed away, behold all things are become new. So no matter what kind of sin, no matter how long I have sinned, God is still willing and able to forgive me. In 1 John 1-7, if we walk in the light as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another in the blood of Jesus Christ, his son cleanses us from all sin. And so God is capable and willing to forgive us of all of our sins. Now our sins are forgiven through faith in Jesus Christ. Our sins are not forgiven through our determined self-efforts and our good works. Our sins are cleansed by receiving by faith Jesus' gift of life. That's why we read in John 3-16, God so loved the world that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. I am justified, I am blessed by God through my faith in him. I hear his message, I receive Jesus Christ as Lord and savior and I am cleansed from all sin. God forgives, I wanna emphasize that. God forgives every sin imaginable. And yet the Bible makes it clear that there is one sin that is not forgiven. And that is the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Now isn't that interesting? And we'll see that in just a moment. In order to get to that point though, we need to look at this passage before us. And in this case what we have here is a man who has been demon possessed that Jesus has delivered. This man who was possessed by a demon also had an inability to speak. And the Bible makes it clear that Jesus instantly delivered and healed this man. And in doing so he is now revealing his heavenly authority. It says in verse 14 he was casting out a demon, it was a mute and so it was when the demon had gone out that the mute spoke and the multitudes marveled. And so Jesus Christ has authority and he's now evidencing his authority. Now he has authority over all things because he's the creator of all things. Demons were originally created as part of the initial creation. In Colossians chapter one verse 16, Paul said by him were all things created that are in heaven and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they're thrones or dominions, principalities or powers, all things were created by him and for him. Initially demons were created not as demons. Demons are actually what are called fallen angels and they were unfallen when Jesus Christ first created them. They did fall, but Jesus because he is the creator of all things still retains authority over them. That's why Jesus could go and exercise this authority and that's why he instantly delivered and healed this man because he was revealing his heavenly authority and that's what's taking place. Now as he has cast the demon out and healed this man and the Bible tells us that the mute man spoke, the response of that multitude is that they marveled. Notice that in verse 14, they were amazed. They were astounded. They were completely amazed at what happened. And Matthew tells us in chapter 12 verse 23 that they began wondering if Jesus could possibly be the son of David. Now when they begin to say that they're amazed and they begin to say amongst themselves, can this possibly be the son of David? The term son of David is another term for our Messiah. And so what they're asking is, is this the Messiah? You see in Psalm 89 verses three and four, God said, I have made a covenant with my chosen. I've sworn to David, my servant, your seed will I establish forever and build up your throne to all generations. And so he was reminding the reader of the promise that God had made to King David that he would have a son who would reign on his throne forever. Jesus Christ is the son of David and they recognize that as a messianic title. And so they're beginning to ask amongst themselves, is this Jesus, the Messiah? Is this the one who was spoken of by the prophets of old and all? So as this is taking place, notice verse 15, that some of them said he cast out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of demons. Now Matthew tells us who this is at saying this. It's the Pharisees, according to Matthew 12, 24. The religious sect of those who are basically the leaders over the religious life of Israel. And so these are the Pharisees. And so what they're doing is they're saying, well, yeah, they're not denying that something's happening but they're saying his authority doesn't come from heaven. They're saying his authority is coming from Satan himself. And that's one of the names of Satan that you find in the New Testament, Beelzebub. Beelzebub is also Beelzebub. You find Beelzebub mentioned in the Old Testament in the book of 2 Kings chapter one and other places. He's mentioned there and he was actually literally translated the Lord of the Flies. He's also referred to as the Lord of the Dung Hill. His name is actually associated with ancient Philistine worship. And the Philistines actually worshiped him some 700 years before Christ. Ultimately, during the time of Christ, the name Beelzebub was a synonym for Satan. And so what they're saying here is they're saying that he's casting out demons, yes, but he's doing it under Satanic authority, not heavenly authority. He's doing it because he's empowered by Satan to do these kinds of things. And so they say he casts out demons by Beelzebub, the ruler of the demons. Now, as this is taking place, they're actually encouraging the people to doubt who Jesus is, not what he's doing. You see, they couldn't tolerate the thought that Jesus might actually be the Messiah as well as their Messiah. Notice that they didn't say he wasn't doing works, they simply credited his works to Satan. Now that's a common tactic, by the way, what you cannot disprove, try to discredit. And that's how that works. Their tactic is to impugn his character. Because if they can impugn his character and his authority, then they also undermine his credibility. And so in undermining his credibility, they place themselves in a position of stricter judgment. Because in undermining the ministry of Jesus, who is the true Messiah, they're placing themselves in a position of great danger. They're trying to undermine the faith of those who begin to ask the question, is this our Messiah? You see, anytime somebody tries to undermine your professional faith and your walk with God, it's a very dangerous place for them to be. There are people who have come to this fellowship. I've seen it happen. I can still remember a young lady and it came to me after the church service a few years ago now. A young lady who was here and we gave an invitation, I gave an invitation at the conclusion of the message. And it was told to me by some people who were seated behind her, that she turned to her boyfriend that she had come with and said to him, I'm gonna go forward, I wanna receive Christ. And the boyfriend who was seated next to her got angry in church, in this church service, in a church service like this, and got angry with her and began to make a scene in the back of the church there. And all of that, that sometimes people can do. And she didn't come forward, she didn't open her heart up, she just closed it up. And I think that's a very dangerous thing. As a matter of fact, I know it is because Jesus made it very clear that that is dangerous. In Mark 942, he said, whoever causes one of these little ones to believe in me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, he were thrown into the sea. To cause somebody to resist coming to Christ is a very great sin. And that's what these religious leaders were doing. And to me, it's an amazing thing and it's a tragic thing because they're not denying that Jesus Christ did an incredible work. He cast out a demon and he gave somebody who had an inability to speak, the ability to once again communicate what an incredible thing that you would think these people would rejoice over. But no, they immediately look at it as it's taking place and they say, well yeah, I'm not gonna deny that something happened, but it's another source. It's not from God, it's from Satan himself. And that's what these religious leaders are doing. They're undermining the work of God. As that's taking place, notice verse 16, there are others. There are others testing him and what they're doing is they're seeking from him a sign from heaven. Now they're not saying he's satanic, but what they want is instant proof of his being Messiah. When it says that they were testing him, that word testing speaks of testing maliciously. It speaks of doing something craftily, putting somebody's feelings to the proof. They're trying to see if they might be able to actually cause others once again to not believe. You see, during this time, and I want you to see this, notice how it says they're seeking from him a sign from heaven. There was a common belief that demons perform earthly signs, but true prophets perform heavenly signs. And so what they're asking for is proof from above. Now in John chapter six, verses 30 through 33, they said to him, what sign will you perform then that we may see it and believe you? What work will you do? Our fathers ate the man in the desert as it is written, he gave them bread from heaven to eat. Then Jesus said to them, most assuredly I say to you, Moses did not give you the bread from heaven, but my father gives you the true bread from heaven for the bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. See, this wasn't the first time they ever said, show us a heavenly sign, and they had done it before, they do it later on, and what they're trying to do is they're trying to once again trap him. But verse 17, he knowing their thoughts said to them, every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation and a house divided against a house falls. If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? Because you say, I cast out demons by Beelzebub. And if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? Therefore they will be your judges. But if I cast out demons with the finger of God, surely the kingdom of God has come upon you. And so Jesus knows their thoughts, notice that. And so he speaks to them and he deals with their accusation. And what he does is he actually reveals the absurdity of it. His point is very simple, government and families cannot survive division. Division undermines its whole purpose. We know that if you have a government divided against itself, if you break off into the deal, like here in the United States, the Democrats and our Republicans are constantly battling, nothing good's gonna take place. That's just the truth, we know that. Same is true in a home. If you always have strife and division in the home, nothing can be accomplished. That's why we have to be very careful. The same is true in churches. When you have division and strife, a church can't be effective. Because division has a way of undermining effectiveness. And that's the point that Jesus is making. A kingdom cannot be divided and hope to stand. A house can't be divided and hope to stand. And the point he's making is unity of purpose is necessary of Satan's to continue to oppose God. So if Satan is casting out Satan, he actually is dividing against himself. So in verse 19, if I cast out demons by Beelzebub, by whom do your sons cast them out? So what he does is he appeals to the fact that they recognize the validity of deliverance from demons and he speaks of their disciples. That's who he's referring to when he says your sons.  The ones whom you approve of. They're also casting out demons. Where do they get the authority to do that? And then he clinches his argument in verse 20 by saying the kingdom of God has come upon you if I cast out demons with the finger of God. In other words, if I do my work by the Spirit, then my miracles are of God. And that points to me being Messiah. And the only remaining possibility is that he is anointed and cast out demons by God's Spirit. And that's why he says the kingdom of God has come upon you. This is clearly revealed by his plundering of Satan's domain and setting the captives free. That's what Jesus Christ does. Jesus made it very clear to us that if a man is caught by sin that he is in bondage to it. And just this recent Sunday morning, we were looking at 2 Timothy chapter two and Paul speaks concerning the fact that Jesus Christ is able to set those people who have been enslaved by Satan free. That's what Jesus does. And so Jesus is busy setting captives free. That's what he had just done. He cast out a demon who had held a man in bondage and set his tongue free so that it might praise God. And you guys are busy arguing amongst yourselves whether my authority comes from God or whether I am actually operating under Satanic authority. He goes on and I want you to see this in verses 21 and 22 and says, when a strong man fully armed guards his own palace, his goods are in peace. But when a stronger than he comes upon him and overcomes him, he takes from him all his armor in which he trusted and divides his spoils. The truth is one must be stronger than Satan to enter his domain to bind him in free people. And Jesus is saying only I have that kind of authority because Satan surely doesn't set captives free.    Before you were basically his captive.  And for some reason we just kept running back to him. But when we opened our hearts to Christ and received forgiveness of sin and were set free from the captivity and bondage of it, you became an enemy of his.   He wants to do everything he can to undermine the work of grace in your life. And so Jesus Christ is here to set the captive free, but Satan will do everything he can to destroy. And so Jesus is simply pointing out that he is capable of setting the captive free. Now it's interesting how he points out that these people had been, if you will, Satan's home. They had been his dwelling place. That's a picture of when they were being demon possessed. And they voluntarily somehow had become his dwelling place. It would have been through sin. So it's through Jesus and him alone that people can be delivered from the power of the bondage. And so when Satan is cast out, Jesus purifies and dwells in the heart. Now, I wanna develop something with you and take you a little bit further now. They rejected Jesus. This is true, but not on evidence, but simple refusal. That makes it a greater sin because they are intentionally and willfully resisting the spirit of God. Now if you would turn with me to Mark chapter three, I wanna develop something with you on what is called the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Mark chapter three. Again, this is taking place and Mark records this for us. I'll read this again to you. Mark chapter three, verses 20 through 30. Assuredly I say to you, all sins will be forgiven. The sons of men, whatever blasphemies they may utter. But he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation because they said he has an unclean spirit, the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. Every sin committed by man can be forgiven. If a man blasphemes God, that sin can be forgiven, Jesus tells us in Matthew. If a man utters a blasphemy against Jesus Christ, that sin can be forgiven. But if a man blasphemes against the spirit of God, that sin is not forgiven. Now, how does that work? Every sin is forgivable when taken to God. If I confess my sin, he is faithful and just to forgive him my sin and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness. That applies to the believer, that applies to the Christian, that applies to the individual who has received the Lord Jesus Christ and goes on to live in and stumbles false sins and takes that sin to the Lord and says, God forgive me, have mercy on me. But what's taking place in the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is something different. This is the intentional rejection of conviction of the spirit of God in the way that these people are rejecting Jesus Christ's works and attributing them to Satan himself. A person who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit is an individual who rejects the conviction of the spirit. Turn with me to John 16 and I'll show you that. I'm gonna develop this with you and get you moving through your Bible. John chapter 16. In John chapter 16, beginning at verse seven, Jesus said, nevertheless, I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away for if I do not go away, the helper will not come to you. But if I depart, I will send him to you. And when he has come, he will convict the world of sin and of righteousness and of judgment. Of sin because they do not believe in me, of righteousness because I go to my father and you see me no more, of judgment because the ruler of this world is judged. What is it the Holy Spirit does? The Holy Spirit brings conviction. The word conviction speaks of him appealing to your heart and awakening you to your lost condition.  The conviction of the spirit comes through hearing the word of God. When God's word is proclaimed, the spirit of God begins to minister to the heart of the individual listening and as they're listening, he brings a sense of conviction. And as he's bringing this sense of conviction to the heart, that person has an opportunity there to respond. Now some people, when they hear the word of God, they reject it. Some people, when they hear it, they say, oh, I'll hear you some other time. Or are you almost persuade me to be a Christian? Well, that may be true, it sounds real. But they reject it. And what is happening is they're rejecting the conviction of the spirit of God. And though they may hear it and may even mentally agree that it could be true, there's a determination to reject what God is revealing to them. And they begin to deliberately reject the conviction of the spirit and in doing so, they're lost. To continually state that Jesus is not the savior is to reject the salvation that's been offered through him. That's why Jonah 2.8 says, those who cling to worthless idols forfeit the grace that could be theirs. When the Holy Spirit begins to work in a person and begins to say, this is true, and they say, well, you know what? Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Jesus Christ is God's son. Jesus Christ died on the cross, but we willfully reject that. Well, that's called blaspheming. The word blasphemy speaks about counting something to be worthless or having no value. So when I blaspheme the Holy Spirit, in essence I'm saying his work that is intended to bring me to faith in Christ is worthless. I don't believe it. I'm not gonna come to him. I want nothing to do with him. Now see, before I got saved, I blasphemed the Holy Spirit. Rather, I blasphemed God. I would use his name in vain. You know, if I got upset about something, I would take the name of the Lord in vain. And the Bible tells us we are not to take the name of the Lord in vain and that he will not hold him guiltless who take my name in vain. And yet as a non-believer, if I got upset about something, I easily could use the name of God in vain and didn't even think about it. There were times when I could use the name Jesus Christ in an irreverent way. You know, or devalue him. Just think, well, you know, yeah, whatever, if you want, if that's what you want to believe. And I am counting him worthless. So I blasphemed God. I'd even use his name in vain. Jesus was of no value to me. But when I was there at the Hollywood Palladium, December 27th, 1970, Arthur blessed his preaching and he gives a gospel message and the Holy Spirit convicts me of sin, righteousness, and judgment. And then he gives an invitation and says, if you know that God is speaking to you and you desire your sins to be forgiven, a relationship with God, if you need the peace that comes through him, if you need to be washed and cleansed and born again, then stand to your feet. When I stood to my feet, that blasphemy of God, when I blasphemed Jesus, that was forgiven completely. All my sins were washed away because I received Christ as my Lord and my Savior. But if I were to reject it and continued in rejection, that conviction to the day I died, I am blaspheming against the Holy Spirit and there is no forgiveness for me. Why? Because it's the Holy Spirit who awakens me to sin, righteousness, and judgment.  If I try to work my way to heaven, if I try to be good, if I try to keep the commandments, if I try to demonstrate by good works that I'm a righteous individual, I will die in my sins. Perhaps some of you read on Saturday, I mentioned this on Sunday, but perhaps you read in the local Daily Bulletin, local newspaper how a Mormon individual had written an editorial kind of a, it's a column that they have for religious leaders in the community and everybody who has a church or attends a church or whatever has opportunity if they want to write and a Mormon fellow did. And his entire definition of Christianity was works righteousness. All works righteousness, speaking about a variety of things, but none of them were the grace of God. He didn't speak about the grace of God because Mormons don't trust in the Lord the way Christians do. They don't have the sense that it's all him and the only thing I add to my salvation is the sins that he washes me clean from. And I come to him as a beggar. I have nothing to give to him other than a cry of God forgive me a sinner. I'm the one who stands there next to the righteous person, the Pharisee. And I'm the one who is pounding on my own chest saying God be merciful to me a sinner. And Jesus says that one who's pounding on his chest walks away justified and the other one doesn't. Why? Because the other one is saying I'm not like other men. I fast and I give and I do all of these things. He was self-righteous and he was trusting in his own righteousness, his own works, whereas the other person just couldn't even look up to heaven, Jesus said, but just continued to pound on his chest saying God be merciful to me a sinner. That's an individual who understands the grace of God. And that's what we are when we come to Christ. But that comes guys through conviction. It comes through the conviction of the Holy Spirit. And so these Pharisees that are saying that he's doing these works through the power of Satan are blaspheming the spirit of God because it's a work of God setting captives free that Jesus is doing that draws people the signs that he did were intended to draw people's attention to him so his message could reach them so that they could have a relationship with God. But these Pharisees instead of receiving Christ reject him willfully even to the point where they're not saying, and you can turn on back to Luke, they're not saying he's not casting demons out. They're saying he does, but he does it through the power of Satan. And so what they're doing is attributing heavenly works to satanic origin and in doing so they are blaspheming the Holy Spirit. So what does Jesus say? Well he says in verse 23, he who is not with me is against me and he who does not gather with me scatters. That's an interesting thing. You know what he's basically saying? Whose side are you on? We all know Greg Laurie and Pastor Greg when he gives his testimony will state that on one occasion he was at his high school and a minister came onto the campus and was given the gospel message. He was 17 years old and he says he was there kind of listening, one of those kids who were on the fringe of the crowd listening intently but trying to pretend that he was just kind of hanging around. And he says that the guy's message was okay, but what caught him, what grabbed hold of Greg Laurie was when he said if you're not with me you are against me. And when he heard that and that's what we just read, he who is not with me is against me, he who does not gather with me scatters. When he heard that it was a black and white thing for this pastor Greg Laurie. He said at that time I realized that I was not with him therefore according to Jesus in not being with him I am actually against him. And when he finally realized that that's when he committed his heart to Jesus Christ and that's how he came to the Lord. All of us need to ask ourselves that question. Am I for him? Am I with him? Or am I against him? In this case here Jesus is making it very clear seeing that you are not trying to gather with me your efforts are actually scattering people abroad. You are actually pushing them away by saying that you wanna see a sign from heaven or by saying that my power comes from Satan himself. You have to make a decision and he's telling the people there you've heard what they have to say. What are you gonna do?  Now as this has taken place he continues in verse 24 when an unclean spirit goes out of a man he goes through dry places seeking rest and finding none he says I will return to my house from which I came and when he comes he finds it swept and put in order then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself and they enter and dwell there and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Now that's an interesting way to put it. There's a picture here of this demon it goes through what he says is dry places seeking rest and he finds none. So dry places is a picture of barrenness and discomfort it desires habitation and finds none. You know it appears in scripture when you see this that demons actually desire a place to call their own if you will that's why when Jesus is there and the Gadarenes and that legion request permission to enter into the body of the swine they want some place to dwell and so he speaks of it as being dry places a place of barrenness but it makes a decision it says to itself after it's been cast out I'll return to my house from which I came and in verse 25 it says and he returns and finds it swept in order. So what are we looking at? Well let me close by touching just a couple of things here. One and I want you to see this verse 25 he finds it swept and put in order. What's this talking about? This is talking about reformation. Reformation has occurred. Apparently somebody had been demonized he is delivered Jesus will say delivered him but he doesn't fill that emptiness with Christ himself. Reformation has come his life is put in order but if he remains unregenerate if he doesn't pursue Christ then he can be possessed once again because the space there needs to be filled with the spirit of God. This demon notices that not only that but notice in verse 26 he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself and they enter in dwell there the last date of that man is worse than the first. And so what happens is they now settle down he brings a host of others more wicked than himself and that last date is worse than the first. So here's your point. Reformation without regeneration is destructive. Reformation without regeneration is destructive. A self-restored person is in danger because he becomes satisfied with his condition the condition that he produced for himself. And because he no longer considers himself to be a bondage to this particular sin he thinks he is now safe and he thinks that he is now good. It's been said it's easier to reach someone who's overwhelmed with a true sense of sin than someone filled with a false sense of goodness and that's true because I have seen people who have reformed. They used to be alcoholics they used to be druggies they used to be whatever wild crazy and they're reformed they think of themselves to be good now because they don't do the things that they used to do and that makes it even more dangerous because I can speak to a guy who's got drug problems I can speak to a guy who's got alcohol problems somebody who's aware of it cognizant of it and I can say you need some help and in one of their sober moments they'll say you're right I do I need some help but you know the ones who are difficult to speak to are the ones who have done their best to pull themselves up out of the dung hill and they're doing fine now and they'll say look I was that way at one time but I grew up I put that all behind me I'm an okay person now I really don't need any help I'm doing fine those people are very difficult to deal with why because they don't see they're evil anymore they think they're better because you know when you compare what they were they are and they always have friends that they can point to and say look I used to be like that I'm not like that anymore I'm this way now I'm a lot better you know this gospel message of yours talking about sinners and all yeah I used to be pretty bad but I've never been that bad and I'm all right so a self restored person's in danger because he becomes satisfied with his condition he thinks he's all right and that makes it very difficult what happens is there's a false security true story tragic true story of a child that was in a bedroom and the house caught fire and the smoke began to come underneath the door there and this little guy was in his bed and could see the fire beginning to lick into the door he climbed underneath his blankets thinking he'd be safe by climbing into the blankets but he wasn't safe he had a false security and he perished true story found him they found him in his room he thought he was safe because he climbed under those blankets we can do the same kind of things spiritually guys we can we can hide into something that gives us security and we can think that we're okay because we're not like we used to be but we're still in danger we just don't realize it we just don't realize it because we've hidden ourselves under a blanket of our efforts but if the Holy Spirit is speaking and says you need my help the wisest thing to do is to say and Lord help me because no matter how I try to make myself good I always fail that's where I was when I gave my heart to Christ that's where most of us probably were I hadn't prayed for a long time but my last year just before coming to Christ I started going crazy started doing crazy things and in the midst of all of that I began to pray again and one night I've told you this before but one night I went out with some friends and we had a half gallon of wine and we had some reds, depressants I dropped five reds and killed most of that half gallon of wine myself and I took that bottle and I threw it across the street into a field said goodbye to my friends climbed into my station wagon that I had there that was parked on the side of my parents house and climbed under those covers and I remember laying down I was 19 years old and I fell asleep, I actually passed out and I remember waking up and I was lying on my back my face looking straight up paralyzed I had been poisoned by alcohol and barbiturates I knew that I was dying I had a guy I knew named Freddie Reyes who had died of drug overdose I knew that Hendricks had died in a similar way I was familiar with this and I began to want to vomit and I know that, well I couldn't move if I did vomit I would drown in my own vomit and I knew that and I remember at that age crying out and I still remember some of the prayer where I said something like God help me, I'm too young to die I do remember saying that and I passed out the next morning I awakened and I went and found the empty bottle and remembered what had happened the night before and that's when I began to start saying my life is going down the tubes I'm gonna end up dead something has to happen I remember that I was driving my Volkswagen I had been drinking I had pulled the stick shift right out of the transmission some guys were giving me a push to try and get me rolling because I was in fourth gear and they ended up pushing me into a signal and on the corner of Pioneer Boulevard and Imperial Highway and I smashed right into a light pulled over to the side of the road got arrested taken to Los Angeles my dad came and got me in the next day he was so concerned for me that he sent me to a psychiatrist I started going to a psych and he'd asked me about how I was raised and what I was feeling and I was feeling bored and I wanted to be out of there I didn't want to talk to some stranger about my problems and what good can you do me anyway so I just would talk to him none of that was working my dad was beyond him so he didn't know what to do my mom and dad were so worried but the Holy Spirit was working the Holy Spirit was working my friends started going to Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa invited me to go and I drank some beer and I smoked some pot and I went to church barefooted, long haired, ripped up jeans and I was surprised I was surprised by the feeling of that place I was surprised I had felt something that I hadn't felt before in any church service I'd ever gone to and I didn't know what it was turns out it was the Holy Spirit they gave an invitation and I didn't want to receive the Lord I said you know this is good for you but I'm already religious, I'm a Catholic I don't need this Protestant version of Christianity I went down the tubes even further and then three months or so later four months later I got invited to a concert in Hollywood at the Palladium December 27th and Arthur Blessed gave that message gave that invitation and I stopped I stopped resisting the Holy Spirit and here I am today almost 37 years later telling you you can stop too and God can do tremendous works in you because he loves you and he'll forgive you and he'll wash you and he'll cleanse you and he'll empower you and he'll bless you don't seek out security from anything other than Jesus Christ


Probiotic encapsulation technology, PET, has the potential to protect microorganisms and to deliver them into the gut. Because of the promising preclinical and clinical results, probiotics have been incorporated into a range of products. However, there are still many challenges to overcome with respect to the micro-encapsulation process and the conditions prevailing in the gut. This paper reviews the methodological approach of probiotics encapsulation including biomaterial selection, choice of appropriate technology, in vitro release studies of encapsulated probiotics and highlights the challenges to be overcome in this area.

After 94 days of the abduction of 61 Kaduna Abouja ill-fated train passengers, the families and friends of the kidnapped victims are vowed to block major roads and occupy key government facilities in Kaduna and Abouja in protest for immediate rescue of their loved ones. Plasticic correspondents Habila Daroufai filed in this report as presented from our studios. Since the 28th of March, when the bandits attacked AK-49 train and abducted 61 passengers, families and friends have not stopped counting the days. The bandits released 11 out of the 61 victims of the abducted train passengers on Saturday, June 11, with 50 hostages yet to be released. The gunshot at one of the victims by the bandits draws public outcry for the federal government's to hasten negotiations for the release of their hostages. Speaking in Kaduna on behalf of the families of the victims, Dr. Abdulaziz Attar expressed worries over their loved ones still languishing in the forest with snake bites and reptiles, noting that the gunshot injuries sustained by victims in captivity are disheartening. He stressed that families will be staging physical protests in Kaduna and Abouja to sit down and occupy government's facilities until their loved ones are rescued. We plan to now have physical protests taking place in Kaduna and Abouja. For those of us in Kaduna, we're going to stay in Kaduna and Abouja. The activity will start on Tuesday. We are going to have physical protests along major roads in Kaduna. We plan to occupy some key government facilities. Life has been devastating. I can't even begin to even go through them again right now because it will just tear up a lot of emotions and it has been a very difficult time for my family. It has been really terrible. I think this has been the most trying times in our lives. We hope and appeal is just to see our loved ones back. My mom has been in captivity for 94 days now. I don't know what state she's in. I don't know how she's eating, how she's sleeping. This sad event had dramatically disturbed the condition of perfected family. Children are left to cry every blessed day with one question being where, one question being when is mommy coming back and when is daddy coming back home. But the question we're still asking every blessed day is how long do we have to wait for this horrible day to end? We pray for the release of our loved ones in good health. We pray the president for once, the president should listen please. They urge the federal government to prioritize the security of the lives and property of all Nigerians as its primary responsibility. Among those in captivity, 85-year-old grandmother and three-year-old kids. Hello, hope you enjoyed the news.

Hello and welcome to NewsClick. Today, we are going to talk about the issue of triple talak and to discuss the matter with us, we have women's right activist Kirti Singh. Welcome to our show, ma'am. So, after the recent judgment by Supreme Court, what is the status of triple talak in the country? Triple talak has been declared invalid because of the Supreme Court judgment. As you probably know, three out of five judges have held that it's invalid. So, the status of triple talak is that it is no longer recognized by the law. So, if it is not recognized by the law, if the Supreme Court has already said it's unconstitutional, then why the need for a new law? Well, actually we needed a law to strengthen Muslim women's rights. We needed a law in terms of the Shamimara judgment of the Supreme Court, in which they said that there should be, even with the other forms of talak, which are also unilateral, that there should be arbitration from both sides, from both the husband and the wife side. And it's only after the arbitration is carried out that the talak can be finalized. And it was very important during the arbitration to not only see that if the parties could live together and to see that there is some reason for this divorce, some legitimate reason, but also to ensure that the women's rights and the children's rights within the marriage are given, because if the talak takes place in three months after the arbitration process and then she has to go to the court, that means she'll be taking much longer for her to get maintenance or child custody rights of her children and so on, then it would, you know, to get the divorce. So the wife should be entitled to custody, according to the law, to maintenance, and to a share in the property. And ideally it should be 50% of whatever the parties have built up together in the household. The law should start recognizing the productive nature of household work and the care work that the woman puts in, even if she's not working. If she's working, then it should obviously recognize that she has contributed in all kinds of way, both in looking after the household, the children, the elderly, and by putting in money. So the new draft, which the government has, is supposed to introduce in the parliament in this session, so do you think that draft actually address all these issues that you have spoken about? Not at all. It doesn't. In fact, it takes the law backward and I will tell you why in a minute. But before that, I will say that personally, I'm against criminalization of the law. I'm against the husband being sent to prison. And if he is guilty of cruelty, then we have a section in the Indian Penal Code, section 498A of the IPC, under which the wife can apply, any wife can apply. So we have that. And of course, so there's no need to have an extra provision for sending him to jail. However, a lot of people have expressed that there should be consequences. Why is it that, you know, this triple Pallak is continuing and deliberately continuing in many instances.  Of course, then they are in contempt of the Supreme Court judgment. But apart from that, they also need to be, people have said there should be consequences. And I think those consequences should be properly worked out. The consequences should be that the person can be fined, for instance, for doing this. And we need to think about this seriously. But simultaneously, I think people need to be told that this is now outlawed. There should be awareness about the judgment. And you know, anybody who encourages this kind of practice, perhaps should be punished like the Kazis and others involved in encouragement and openly defying the Supreme Court verdict. So coming back to the issues that you talked about, what should be in the new law? So do you think this new bill has the government even has the will to include all these issues in the law? The bill, unfortunately, shows that it doesn't have any. In fact, it is taking, for instance, not only does it criminalize the pronouncement of triple Pallak by imprisonment up to three years. And then it sort of blindly says that it's invalid of no, you know, and of no consequence. But one of the things that I've noticed is that it says that there should be the wife should get a subsistence allowance from her husband. Now, why talk of subsistence allowance if she's entitled to maintenance? She's entitled to maintenance according to the law of the land, according to the status of the parties. I don't understand how the law can just speak of a subsistence allowance, which is taking the law backward, which means the woman should not be entitled to maintenance, you know, according to the status of the husband or what he is earning or how they were living together, but just amount that should be just merely sufficient for her to. So that is a very retrogressive provision. That's one. The second is that if you send really the husband to the jail, obviously the maintenance will be affected, you know. And then if the husband is sitting in jail, I don't know whether the wife and the child can receive maintenance at all. I mean, forget the subsistence allowance thing. So I don't think it is. I think it's a rather scrappy bill. It's not being well thought out at all. And the government really needs to rethink. We have demanded that the bill be sent to the Standing Committee of the Parliament, and that all be all, you know, that there should be extensive public discussion on it, and all concerned parties should go in front of the Standing Committee and be able to put point of view through. So that is what I think. I think it's being sought to be passed in a very undemocratic manner. And the government had said that they will have discussion, but there's been no discussion. Thank you so much for sharing your views on the issue with us.
