Welcome back after the break. Just before we went for a break, we started studying or looking at chapter 8, the citywide church. So we said the citywide church comprises of the local churches. Why is it important for the citywide church to come together and work together in unity oneness? Or why is it important for the local churches in the city to come together, partner with each other? Anand says it represents the unity in the body of Christ. Can you pass him the mic please? It shows people that we are all establishing one kingdom. We are here to establish one kingdom. What else? What happens when all the local churches come together? The citywide church is one. What happens? It is easy to reach out to people in the city with the gospel of Jesus Christ. Okay. Very important. Please say that in the mic so all of the students can hear. They may come a revival. Yes, they'll come a revival. Okay. What else happens? Online students, what happens when the citywide church is one and all the local churches come together in unity oneness? Kingdom of God will be advanced. The kingdom of God will be advanced. Okay. Online students, any answers can type it in the chat or you can unmute and speak. There will be greater harvest. There will be greater harvest. Okay. The whole city can, you know, we can reach out to the whole city and we can even disciple the whole city. The whole city can be transformed and changed. Okay. Not only in terms of accepting Christ, but also Yes, the moral sphere, the political sphere, very good. What else? There will be no crimes. Yes, we've seen that. Okay. So what can the, what are some of the things that the citywide church can do to, you know, when they come together in unity and oneness? Anthony says there'll be revival. Yes. Thank you. Just like you said, okay. Or before we answer that question, for the citywide church to be one, who needs to take the initiative? The pastors, the shepherds, the leaders. Okay. Why is it important for the leaders and the shepherds to take the initiative? Okay. They are the head of that certain local body. So if the head comes together, the body also comes together. Yes. If the head comes together, the body will also come together. If the head is disconnected, the body will also be disconnected. Okay. So for the leaders or the pastors or the shepherds in the city, for them to come together, what should they do? Okay. They come together. They also should have the same vision of one kingdom like this. Okay. There should be kingdom minded in the first place. Thank you. What else? They should not just know each other's names and what they do, which church they're pastoring. What do you think they should do? They should know the vision, listen to each other. Okay. Anand says they should be led by the Holy Spirit. They should come together to build a relationship of trust, respect, fellowship and sharing. Right. Okay. How can they go about doing that? Meeting regularly. Meeting regularly. Okay. So, you know, Pastor has written these books, Kingdom of God and Kingdom Builders. And he truly has a kingdom mindset. He truly sees APC as a church that is here to enhance and further the kingdom of God. So, he has taken some steps. You know what are some of the steps APC has taken? Yeah, the men's breakfast fellowship. Have you gone for that, Prince? Okay. Pastor started the men's, not men's, sorry. He started the pastor's, oh, you said men's breakfast? No. It's the pastor's fellowship, which is also breakfast, you know, gathering. So, he started something called once in a month on Wednesdays, it's called the pastor's fellowship. So, inviting pastors from all the churches in Bangalore City to come. We meet at eight o'clock and we start with worship and then one of the pastors lead in prayer for the city and the churches in the city and for the nation and the nations. And then we have breakfast together, get to know each other. I think there will be just one passage from scripture that we will take and we will all be in tables. So, in that table we'll discuss some truths about kingdom building and kingdom mindset and, you know, how we can further God's kingdom through unity and oneness and then we all share our points and then, you know, we close the meeting. I thought it was a very good initiative. We stopped, you know, when the pandemic began. So, that was one of the things and another thing which we had once was on 15th August was a Sunday. So, we had all the churches come together, you know, and worship and nobody was on the stage. So, nobody has given any preference, no pastors, everybody down together with all the other saints, other believers and there was worship. The worship had mix of various languages because there are people from different churches and temporary worship and also hymns because some of them coming from churches where they sing only hymns as well. And then, you know, it was not anything with doctrines or liturgy and all just, you know, we met together commonly on the faith that we believe in. So, it was just worship and then it was prayer for the city and for our nation and then somebody was to share the word of God and, you know, we all had holy communion together and it was a very beautiful time of gathering, no announcement, nothing, no anyone saying this pastor, this welcome, you know, that and all of those things just coming together and meeting and I think it's a wonderful initiative to do these things, to just partner and bring all of the churches together. So, what do you think the city-wide church can do towards city transformation? What can the city-wide church do for city transformation? The city, I mean, we can influence every zone of people and everyone, like actually through prayer, of course, then literally helping them with the word or... Discipling them. Every, all the people in the city and every area, every sphere of society, what is the different spheres in society we have? Social. Economic. Education. Political. Spiritual. What else? Very important, what gives the economy? Business, business and also social and also physical transformation, okay? So, two things that a city-wide church can do, okay, we can encourage partnership in things that are already being done, okay? And as a city-wide church, we can also start new initiatives. Now, how can we encourage partnership in the things that are already being done? What are some of the things that the local churches are already doing that all of them can come together, pool in their resources and, you know, come together so that we can transform the city? Any answers from our online students? Yeah, Nino Jones says we need to have regular meetings, yes, of pastors and, you know, the churches meeting together, yes. What should we do? How can we encourage partnership in things that are already being done in our city? Coming together as a local, as a city-wide church. Yes. Equipping kids, I mean, to educate the slum kids. Okay. Not only education, even food, everything. Helping them to come up from that situation. Okay, good. What else? Slum feeding the poor, slum outreach feeding the poor, equipping the marketplace, you know. Also, if, you know, many churches are doing this. What if we all pool in our resources and come and do it together? Huge and bigger and we can impact the whole city. Many can be benefited, right? What if, you know, local churches part and Christian organizations partner together. Suppose Christian organizations are here, Christian NGOs working in the prison, you know, taking care of prison children, building marriages, you know, all of these special ministries or the addiction centers. What if you all come together and pool in our resources? What will happen? Yeah, Nina says we can be very effective and we can impact the, you know, as Anand says we can impact the whole city. Jack and cells join together in evangelism, spreading the gospel to the unreached. The progress is more. Yes, we can reach the unreached in a great, you know, greater proportion in a greater manner. Okay. Also, if the richer churches come together and, you know, give, it helps the poorer churches, the smaller churches, right? And we can give in to them. They can have their own place or music instruments, you know, some churches own in our music instruments chair for people to sit. They just sit on the ground, you know, and things like that. Or we can even provide them fans. Okay. And also if the mature churches come together, we can actually what can they do better impart and equip and teach the newer churches and the smaller churches and equip the younger churches as well. Now, what are some of the challenges we can face when we do this? What are some of the challenges we face when we do this encourage partnership in things that are already being done? Huh? Difference is in between the pastors. Okay. What else? Like some pastors refuse to even take help because of fear. Like if I take help from them later, they will ask me to make my church a part of their church. Okay. Fear of losing their sheep. Okay. Sheep stealing. Okay. What else? It's happening. Yes. There's no loyalty, you know. Integrity will not be there. Honesty, integrity. What if some people are not kingdom minded? And you know, if some of them coming with their own IME mindset, you know, personal agendas, greed, it can be very devastating and can destroy the whole thing. Ah, Anand says if they're giving something, they're expecting something. Also we need to see that even if the local churches are coming together to partner their individual mission and vision is being achieved and fulfilled even as they partner. That means they are doing at the center of God's will what God wants them to do as a church. Now, what do you think can be the new initiatives that we can start? As a citywide church. New initiatives. What are some of the new initiatives? Anyone the online students? What are some of the new initiatives that can be done in partnership? Many churches and Christian ministries. Day out. Princess. What can be done?  Yeah. Discipling, okay.  There is there but equipping them more. Equipping them more. Discipling them more. Okay. Conducting workshops. Okay. Conferences. Okay. We can schools. We can schools. More prayer. More prayer. Yeah. Prayer can you know what a force it can be when the churches come together and pray, right? That is what God wants. John chapter 17. Let them father let them be one as we are one for them unity is so important even as a Trinity works in perfect unity. What are some of the initiatives you know rescuing children. Traffic women. Abused women. You know, you know, teaching them having schools for the for these children, you know, boarding them, teaching them, giving them vocation, sending them into colleges. These women we can teach them and train them to some vocations which they can earn their own money, educate them. Okay. So some of these things are huge projects but what if the local churches come to gather? Okay. Rescuing people on the streets, the poor people, you know, like auto Rajas doing but there are so many people in auto Rajas home. What if other churches just partner and give and know what a great work we can do? Okay. What are some of the challenges we can face? Financial issues. Yes. There's no integrity. Sometimes. Yes. Also, the fear of passes that they will lose their congregation. They'll go away to other churches. Okay. So there should be clarity. The purpose is for us to come together to build God's kingdom to transform the city. What else? What else? Ask about the congregation if they come together and see, okay, the other church is better than us or the teaching is better. It's normal that they may go. Yes. It's normal that they go but they will, you know, if they belong to the church, they will be faithful to the church. But even if they even if they go, you know, the pastor should feel that they're going there to a place where they're receiving more in terms of spiritual food. So anyway, the kingdom of God is growing. So he should not feel the, you know, yeah, he should not feel insecure about it. So Pastor, if people will go like this, is that it should be, that is wrong. If people choose to, okay, I'm going to some church, they think, okay, when they come together, they'll see that, okay, the other church they have a better teaching or a better way of explaining the word of God. Some of them may feel that, okay, I need to better to move there. Is that wrong? It's not wrong. Why do I say it's not wrong? Because it's all about God's church. But then why pastors are thinking that way? That's because they're not kingdom minded. They're thinking about only their church as their kingdom. They're not thinking, okay, this person is going and, you know, being built up spiritually and they're going to anyway enhance the kingdom of God. They're going to come into their calling and their purpose and they're going to build and extend God's kingdom, let them go. And if God is taking them, God is going to bring people into my church, right? One source, other reaps, right? But ma'am, like to the other question of what Nina's is that if somebody is going from one church to another church, read from pastors, book from Kodaf on a pastor road, like if somebody is coming from their church to our church, this pastor also should not like since they come, we should not take them, but we should talk to them why they left the church. Yes, it's important to tell them like what is the issue and if it is things like re soluble, we try to make them go back and serve the faithful, but we should not take them immediately and keep with us, right? Yes, that is very important. Entry and exit, how you enter into somebody else's kingdom or sorry, somebody else's field and how you exit is very, very important for God. So even when they come to APC pastor meets with them and says why, it's the reason why you left the other church and if they want to become members of our church pastor says you have to give a letter to that to the other pastor or if they're part of our church in the staff, they should all part of another church, then they should also inform their pastor that they are part of, you know the staff of the church office here at APC. Yes, so some of those things as pastors we need to do so that you know there is no hurt between the pastors. Yeah, Nina, John says keeping in mind the current situation people of other faiths may be suspicious of the church's motives. Yes, in what context you're saying this Nina? Social work or you're talking about how other faiths would be suspicious. No, I mean this are you able to hear me? Yes, yes we are. No, what I'm saying is that I mean this need to reach the city that we're talking about reaching the city, so which would mean whether it is people in the slums or women or various things those kind of people who really need to be touched and you know need help in different ways. So when the church is coming together this way and wanting to help in the various areas I mean I don't know because I really don't know how it works and how often these meetings happen. So it's possible that they can kind of say okay no we rather not because of the general background that is there always when the church is doing anything in this region we always feel it is because we want to you know get them to share of our faith isn't it? I mean that is I thought a general this thing that is there the impression that is there in the minds of the people of other faiths that this is the agenda is this I mean I don't know some may receive help some may not I thought it could be a challenge I'm not sure. Yes, yes what you said is absolutely right can be a big challenge in the present church you know thinking that why are we doing all this coming together as a city by church is to make more converts converting people you know yes that can be a big challenge but if you go according to the government and the rules and the protocol that is there then you know there can be no issues but the mindset is all this but even if you see even if we come together there's hardly anything like that that is really being done this is something that you know we we've put it down for other people to think and we're teaching this so that other pastors can be kingdom minded can come to that place but the impact we can have is we can reach a far greater audience and also this the government will also acknowledge yes there's work done you know people are rich people are blessed you know children are educated rather than just looking at the aspect of you know children are coming to know the Lord Jesus Christ which is not like a major agenda but actually enhancing the social you know or empowering the government in you know transforming our city or in providing infrastructure in the city to these you know people with a lower stratum where things are not being done really the work can be acknowledged and when people are really getting their needs met they will they will really understand what is the motive behind why the churches are doing it they're doing it so that yeah my children are educated and you know they are getting their food clothing shelter they are learning manners they are going to become someone big they're not going to live like us in slums with no job and in the process if they are encountering all it's okay but they're able to see the larger framework in which we work but yes that is a challenge what you are saying is absolutely right yes so you know even like Karina John mentioned that we have to regularly meet worship together you know have outreaches have prayer times together you know prayer can be a very powerful weapon and tool in transforming our city okay also meeting together and celebrating the Lord's table can be a very powerful expression okay now we look at we look at the spiritual transformation how we can bring about spiritual transformation we looked at some of the social transformation also when the churches come together we can actually speak against the social evils what are some of the social evils we are facing in our city poverty yes drug abuse yes corruption yes oppression suicide you know can be another son what is another social act how can we work together as churches for social action for the city you know like we mentioned you know all of these poor providing for the poor the homeless orphans caring for the widows the less privileged how can we bring about transformation in the marketplace those of them in the marketplace like acknowledged or equipped actually to impact in the area okay they can be equipped to function as a kingdom works and they can bring in kingdom mentality kingdom culture kingdom lifestyle okay in the in the spheres of society what are seven spheres of society seven mountains family education business okay art and entertainment media okay government and religion yes so they can bring in God's kingdom God's culture God's lifestyle the kingdom culture kingdom lifestyle kingdom principles kingdom values and morals okay and also as believers were working in the business place they can work in integrity and honesty and excellence and they can bring about that remember one man Daniel was able to with his integrity and honesty bring about you know was able to make the king acknowledge that his God who is God is okay and also the people to acknowledge that the God of Daniel is a true and living God what is a physical transformation help the government in better roads better infrastructure water transport transportation taxes how the taxes can be used to build the infrastructure health hygiene okay good roads yes create how to create more jobs Francis you want to say something Francis yes okay and so how to also better homes for slum dwellers okay and what is the greatest thing that the city by church can come together against persecution right have one voice against persecution speak against persecution yes hold on my clothes social transformation so like I met with a lot of like rowdy groups and all so because of their party and hungry they get into the rowdyism and become gangsters and how to be share the kingdom of God you're not like that how to be animal but the thing is like they're not acceptable first it's a very huge work we need to do for them if we are saying okay we'll take care of us okay who are you very rude so how to be how to impact with them how to impact their lives think God is stirring your hearts towards gangsters like he stirred up the heart of that man who I don't remember his name who went to New York and you know many gangs in New York what is his name very famous man anyone knows his name Nikki Cruz and he you know he impacted Nikki Cruz's life and get his name and he had a very big organization forget his name somewhere in the nineteen sixties and seventies you know a great man who got just stirring of his heart burden for these gangsters in yeah he went to the United States in New York and you know and worked with these gangsters many gangs and many young boys and girls joined this gang into drugs and everything how he impacted their lives so powerfully and you know had a ministry over there and one of them is Nikki Cruz and he writes his book I've read Nikki Cruz's son book and so yeah David Wilkinson yes thank you Nina I was looking out yeah David Wilkinson thank you Nina I was waiting for you to answer that question anyway so yeah so you know he did such a great job and there was nobody was willing to go but young girls and boys the teenage years you know getting into gangs and destroying their lives but what an impact he had so he would just have crusades and meetings and you know just go on the streets in the night and talk to them it was dangerous so many times Nikki Cruz is also threatened he would kill them and they went into his meetings and had said bombs and you know disturbed everything but how God and Holy Spirit powerfully touched them and ministered so it's basically the work of the Holy Spirit you know will minister to them so you can partner with like-minded people and start that ministry Francis okay yeah good yeah I think it's David Wilkinson yes Jack in yes thank you okay thank you Jack in and Nina any questions on this lesson we have two more chapters to go any more any questions can you give him the mic please in marketplaces when we are talking about the marketplace transformation can you tell any few points like how to practically can do like there are so many challenges to do the ministry in marketplaces or to just be like a believer and not to I mean in any way go against the protocol that is there yes so any of you in the marketplace here online students know how we can bring about transformation in the marketplace any ideas I know people who are working in the corporates who start have started prayer fellowships they have a chapel in like here in you know the golf thing in what is it called the spark in the tech park and outer outer ring road that goes towards Kora Mangala you know there is embassy golf link it's called embassy golf link and there they have a chapel there okay so in the chapel day the Christians have started believers have started prayer and so many of them have come and many lives have been impacted when they have received answers for prayer some of them also meet outside in cafeterias you know they have their own groups and Bible studies in the cafeteria and one-on-one impact is happening and you know many of them are impacted because they're going through divorce they're going through marriage problems they're going through suicidal issues and you know so they invite them to church like when we have big Sundays and all many people invite their colleagues they also have their own like Bible studies you know among their colleagues and all of that they've started so these small ways they impact even give out some literature some books like some of our APC publications they just give it out and they have these four C's on their leadership things the four C's the yes the table thing that we have created you know that like the placard which you've created on the tables so just keep that and you know have minister to people I know one lady works in the corporate you know just a smile she has let people to Christ you know and just through her joy of the Lord people have asked her what is the great joy that you have always my name always happy and all that just let them to the joy of the Lord you know so she tells me and very simple lady working in the corporate you know in the admin field but just powerfully because she comes from non-Christian background and you know she has that so zealous to share the gospel with others some of these few things that can be done is there any particular topics to just start with like see when we go to villages and want to preach them to I mean to reach them is little easy like we can because they are uneducated the people who are in workplaces are very educated and we have to reason them when we are telling something so is there any particular topics or subjects we can start with we can start with yes we can start with like some of the topics in you know hope hope in hopelessness you know strength in times of adversity you know and what else how to overcome fear anxiety what is love everybody is looking for love you know acceptance respect what is love talking about love and going on to you know the God of love who loves us the way he loves us you know talking about character you know and talking about biblical examples of character like Daniel and Joseph basically how to give hope you know to people in their crisis in their situations in their difficulties and we have the God of hope lead them to that so these are the important things hope love yes okay anyone else wants to add to these questions please feel free online students like once I thought this started education things I guess it's written here marketplace so I started just not to earn money just like it was free coaching I used to teach people children only so what I used to do like first when I started that time I should take only 100 rupees money for one of our coaching then after that what I did I stopped because children their village they don't have that much money to pay so what I did I started just free coaching I should give then after that so little little they like increased and after that what I used to do like I used to share from Bible like stories how I should say like the Lord is my separate I don't mention any religion any things I don't usually mention so I just used to share about stories about things so sometimes what happens if children have anything like pain anything so I should come I'll pray for you so I used to pray for them so they should go in their home they should tell mom he did something like this something like this so like that I do three families they started believe on Jesus Christ like how you did this how you did how you did healed them can you pray for me also I have these things I have this problem I have this problem so like that that place I started church in that place only how 10 people and 15 people I that place only I started because of education and after that 200 people I used to teach 200 children's only and after that I started education like like who people they are not educated little little so like how I ministered through that things amazing yes in the marketplace very good I know one of my relatives who live in Chennai you know she's a banker and she took voluntary retirement and she used to teach all the slum the sweepers children the maids children all come there to her house about 50 60 they'll come there they'll play for some time she has a big compound they'll be playing then they'll all get ready and they'll all sing some gospel songs and she'll share one story and then she'll teach them you know they'll do they're going to school so they'll help them in the homework and all and then they'll go away and then you know some of them have gone into finishing that 10th grade and to college and they've got some nice jobs they still come and thank her just showing the love of Christ in a very simple way and I used to really admire her she used to have three or four flasks she'll keep it out in her veranda on the parapet that she has built near her doorstep and the flask and you know sugar and glasses so all the sweepers and the maids and cleaners in that area will come to our house and they'll have tea from you know hot tea and I remember and I went to a house one of them said mama the tea is over and she said wait wait I'll make for you and she made another whole flask and kept it there you know just such a heart in just small way showing the love of Jesus to people okay yes yeah so social transfer marketplace he gave you some ideas on what we can do also just prayer and allowing the ministering you know yeah yes prince one example also wanna share like for me I feel like in marketplace and business place it's how we live actually how we carry the kingdom of God affects more one example like when we used to work I used to work for my brother's cafe so we used to keep this Bible verses like in the inside of the walls like even sometimes the little word just hope don't give up and all this and we used to keep Bible verses and they used to like minister to them even if they are non believers but when they read some scriptures they get encouraged and we heard testimonies and one more is like we used to go and talk to them our mom our brother my brother's main motive is like to spread gospel through the cafe so we heard like the people said when we came here we feel peace inside of us we don't know like our cafes in the middle of all the CA academic so most people were hustlers who come from other towns and cities so they told like when we feel sad when we are little disturbed when we came here we feel that peace inside in this place and also we used to me and along with me there's one boy from our church he used to work as a partner so when we see some people alone sitting very disturbed we used to go and talk to them hi how are you doing what's happening and we used to ask is there anything that we can pray for like we don't need to have to tell them to be converted but we can pray for them and most people were actually willing to be get prayed despite of the religion they are like yeah you can pray for me and like that we saw like people coming and we started to invite church come and see we didn't hold actually like forcefully conviction or something but we just told like if this Sunday we are having this meeting if you are interested you can come and see and when they come we heard like they feel something different in the atmosphere they feel that freedom, joy when this happened and we heard of medical students who are about to suicide but they came in the church and they changed their mind and gave life to Jesus so I feel like how we represent how we carry is important in the business and marketing places yes thank you very good yes very nice thank you for sharing thank you for the wonderful work what are you doing any more thoughts any questions Anand is saying that all my students are not talking they are actually chatting with me on the on the chat section ok no questions we will start lesson 9 ok brothers and sisters fathers and brothers brothers and fathers sisters and mothers ok so we said kingdom building is all about building whom people so when we build people is it about having programs to build them or just preaching or what do we do teaching them disciple them how do you disciple them programs teaching yes journey with them of course preaching teaching is very important having workshops weekend schools very important having programs very important but also mentoring them you know life coaching one on one we need to mentor them and coach them ok so we need all of us who are all of them who are mature in their faith we need to teach and impart those who are weak in the faith like Paul says weak in the faith means those who are new in the faith those who are still growing in their faith those who are children or babes in the faith basically better word to use ok so some of us can be brothers some of us can be fathers ok based on our age some of us can be sisters and mothers based on our age but what should we do we need to mentor we need to impart we need to teach we need to journey along with people ok good example is whom in the Bible in the in the in the New Testament Paul yes right he mentored many people even though he was doing great extensive work in the kingdom of God he was somebody who was also personally mentoring what some of the people he mentored Timothy Titus Philem the runaway slave of Philemon ok so all of these people he personally mentored them ok and how does he refer to them when he speaks about them what does he talk about Timothy how does he call Timothy before he says co-workers fellow workers my son in the faith ok my son in the faith but does he forever use this phrase my son in the faith no what does he yes my brother my co-laborer my minister of God so we see that even though Timothy was a son to to Paul and he mentored him and nurtured him you know once he comes to the stature of spiritual maturity and Paul sees that he relates to him in a totally different level ok so you know do we have this kind of mentoring in our churches where people are brothers fathers mother sisters actually few of them only few of them do it like we don't most of them yeah we don't do it most of our interactions can be very business like it's not relational it's not something that is heart to heart that is not you know where we're not sharing ideas and you know transformation the relationship is very superficial ok why do you think it's so superficial why do mature people in the faith don't mentor and impart and teach and train those who are babes in the faith or children in the faith the ignorant of this fact or this calling yes yes thank you Nina Santosh it's time consuming we're taking I think all important points please speak in the mic yes yeah like like a lot of risk we are opening our everything to the other person yes it's a risk because people say hey what if they look at my weaknesses what if they judge me what if they think hey this person is really like you know he's mentoring me but look at him he's all hers he's also having their own challenges yes it is but you know many of them become very lonely in their Christian work yes or no many Christian leaders Christian ministers become very lonely in their in their walker or even when they are struggling or going through challenges they become very lonely why I'm talking about Christian leaders and ministers or kingdom builders they don't want to share their ideas with anyone else because they think that they're only their agenda okay they are not kingdom minded they don't want to share their ideas with anyone else what else they have their own battles and they are like they want to deal with them by their own they have their own battles they want to deal it in their own why do they want to why do they want to deal it by themselves me being a leader if I go and ask help with someone you being a leader going and asking help for someone help for someone it will may put me down in before them but it can be sometimes a pride or sometimes most of the time it can be they will judge me they will mock me they will criticize me they will laugh at me you know what if that happens my reputation will go down my reputation will go down my reputation will go down yes my reputation will go down Jack in says lack of trust in others lack of trust because my reputation will go I will be questionable I will be there you know in front of everybody and they will judge me and condemn me okay but you know but when challenges come we can you know fall under that pressure or you know we can give in and can destroy our life and ministry or sometimes you are so busy doing ministry that we don't build genuine friendships right sometimes you are so busy teaching others imparting to others counseling others that we don't see a need to take care of our own selves okay but it's important right that we build relationships even in the body of Christ with other ministers so that when we go through struggles and challenges we can go to them and when they go through struggles and challenges that they come to us now even as we become brothers and sisters and fathers and mothers to other believers pastors leaders you know in the city what are some of the challenges we face on a one to one if you are you know as two leaders you are being you know co-working with each other or being a brother and a brother to each other or you are being assisted to each other what are some of the challenges like Nina Santosh said time right I have to give in you know I have to spend time to know them their family they have to spend time knowing me my family coming to my church seeing my setup what else yes we must be always available they must be available for us we must available for them you know we must spend time praying and worshiping and seeking God together you know when they go through difficulties we must be there and when they go to success rejoice with them when we go through difficulties they have to be with us when we go to success they should be with us you know we need to receive from their gifting anointing and ministry and they need to receive from our gifting ministry and anointing okay and both of us must honour each other for who we are and what God has called us to okay we must partner with each other as friends we must sacrifice give for their personal welfare family you know and when people hate, criticise, judge mock or when each of us fall down we need to be there to help each other so all this is very very time consuming and I think that is why people don't really want to be brothers and sisters to each other okay but do you think it's important yes it is very important right and I think some of us we need to come to the place where we are brothers and sisters okay we will stop class here thank you all for joining class I think we just have one and a half lessons and we will finish it next Monday okay okay have a blessed week everyone thank you all have a good day have a blessed day God bless thank you


I wonder if you can access this URL if not then so be it we can live it out but that would be nice yeah it's working you got this picture oh that's cool okay so as I stated in my talk I want to talk a little bit about backbone and use that to to only write your models one time and then have the same models in the client and in the server this can be very useful if you was supposed to make an application where you want to do online collaboration so work together on a document or anything and that is shared so can you try to switch on the light just press the light button here so that works it just turned on the light on my machine so I'll show you how that works is how many of you are familiar with Node.js or anything okay so quite a few so the Node.js server here is started so that's fine I'll take you to the code that's behind this this is the application that runs on Node.js it's only a few lines of code as you see I'll just go through the code and explain you how these things work so the first thing we do here is create an express web server which is just a Node.js module oh yes can you also put off the light is it okay now okay so what you see is I create an app that is based on the express module that is just a web server module in Node.js you can just install it by using your Node packet manager a few lines here first I tell the web server that anything that has a dot star at the end so for example dot png dot css or whatever will just be passed through as a static document so that way I can serve static documents next step I configure the express web server to use the jade engine jade is a template engine and by default it will it will try to find layout.jade this is the template that is called layout.jade it's just another way of writing html much cleaner and as you see I just load a bunch of scripts in my client and I have a few diffs in I don't know if you're familiar with jade but this just stands for diff classes background diff ideas room and that's basically it you just saw the the room the virtual room here I create objects rooms there I will store every room that is being created so when you go to something else after the slash you will create a new room in the application so that happens when this app dot get is being called by any client a request will come it will take the room ID which is everything basically behind the slash and it will create a new room and you will see here that I will that I made a class which is called room and two things I do I pass the room ID and I pass a reference to the socket IO library which I loaded oops here I loaded the socket IO library socket IO is a library which takes away every hassle to make web socket applications so you can use it both on the client as on the server it's very easy you just import the socket IO library and you say listen to specific port number or web server and here at the app is my web server so what will happen any client that will come will instantiate a new room or if the room already existed then it will just take the existing room and it will render an empty page based on the layout so that's it so when we go to the web page view the source there's nothing more than just a small piece of html here again you see that it loads the socket IO javascript and it also loads my post.it.js what I called it so let me go to that piece of glasses don't just take this for granted here I do some some little things to have this script work on both the server and the client so this basically says well if we're in Node.js then and require the backbone library and the underscore library otherwise it will be loaded through the html page itself so now here comes the backbone part backbone is a very easy library to create models and views in the in javascript it takes away all the hassle of creating how do you say um creating objects that are that can connect with each other and also have a few extension on each model so just an mvc kind of pattern but then in javascript so this you have to understand that these classes are both run in the server and in the client so nothing no double code it's just the same piece of code let me first take you to the room model what you say is you say backbone dot model dot extend and you can create your own model which is based on the backbone default model basically it takes a few functions initializes the most important one it's being run every time you create a new model and as you saw in the app i passed the the socket argument the same we do in the client so in the client there's just a small piece of jQuery document that's ready and create a new room object and again we do the same the only difference here is that we say i o dot connect which means connect to the existing socket on the web server so when you come to your initialized method both on the server or the client this will happen only on the server part so it's still being run on the client but the client is not getting any connections at this point but still it will call the initialize events method for the current socket on the client so let's skip over this really fast it will here we'll just send some messages to the to the clients like how many clients have been connected so that's the clients connected part so we take a look here i think i put a number somewhere here's a two so that means that only he and me are connected if i would open up another another tab three clients will be connected i don't know if you see it properly here here's a tree so how does that work the connection takes place on the server a client is instantiated the client will send first the lights on or lights off method so that is to tell the the user that in this room the light is on or off basically and it will send the amount of connected clients then on the initialize events function i have created all these events so there's a lights on there's a lights off there's a clients connected and there's a node event well what happens when we when the any node comes in so i made a function here that whenever you double click you can create a small message say hello yes so i don't know if you see it now but it should have come come through yeah so one yeah he's creating another node here so what happens is um whenever i double click and that that is all being taken care of by jQuery in the the room view so i have a room view object backbone.view.extend same as a model but you create a view it also has an initialize method and it has an important property which is the element so that refers to the current element in your page it can be an existing element but you can also create new elements if you want so what happens here some magic but basically the double click event on the element will tell the which is it it is connected to to set a node and set a node means update the current node or create a new node so let's go to the set node method what does this do first it tries to get the current node if it exists so suppose there is an id which is a global identifier that it will just get the current node from that list if it was not there then it will create a new backbone backbone model which is called node it will set the the room property so that from the node you can always access the right room and then it will add the node to the to the list of nodes depending on if we told the function to broadcast it will tell the socket to send a message to the server saying hey there was a new node and then there is a very convenient function called tojson which serializes the current object to the json format so then what happens on the server side it's still the same piece of code that's being run on the server side so the server will get this socket dot on node event and then it will say again okay a new node has come so let's parse it and it will again call the function set node so what i really wanted to explain here is that it is very convenient to write the same piece of java script that runs both on the server the client or any other client that is connected so just every time the same pattern happens the on node event is coming in it calls the set node function so it creates a node in the in the object on the server and then again because it will broadcast it will again send it to all the clients actually that that happens here so i i have an if statement here if the socket dot manager is there so if this is a server then broadcast it to everybody that is connected to the current server so that is why when i and put some text in here that is why it now is being sent to the server the server will instantiate that same node the only thing the server doesn't do is create a view because the server doesn't have views but on this computer now it will create a uh a node again so out of the framework that is called uh j now now.js i didn't take take time to look into that but they even take away more uh more features like this so it makes it more easy but i just wanted to explain how the socket IO works great with background um we use this in a in a live application where people work on the same document whenever they create elements to that document they will be synchronized and on the server of course you have to take care of saving it to a database or anything that i didn't do in this in this demo but that you can do easily also using mongo db or anything like that um i think i went through it quite quickly um so i will give you some time to interact or tell me what to explain further on this is there any questions so i thought that the backbone does something already which made sure that uh the models in the view and the server as i kept it synchronized that that is true that is um that is true uh backbone by default um has a very good restful api um so if you would connect it to a server that is restful uh that backbone is also great for making um standard mvc web applications i haven't done that in this case because here i'm using making use of socket.io and that just helps when you want to do um live applications where every event has to be submitted live to the server and back to any other client but backbone itself doesn't break if you don't have a restaurant api no backbone you can you can use it and backbone they have support for for restful but they you can also use it in many other ways because it's very light it's not that big and you can use it in whatever you way whatever way you want so that's how you do it can you please explain a little bit more on socket.io uh how it is set up etc yeah um it's actually very simple um i'll just take the socket.io website because i think they so here they have a great example of how to use socket.io on the servers you say require socket.io library and listen to a certain port port and then whenever you get an event say connection um something will happen you'll get a socket reference and on the socket you can say um email the message send the message to the connected clients yes yes they will stay for the for the time that the the client will be connected yeah but they use web sockets for it so the web socket protocol i even don't know much about it but it's um it takes care of all the connection handling the great thing about socket.io is that it um they also have some wrappers for the clients uh even in older browsers it should work so if the browsers have flash support they will flash uh use flash um i think even ie 5.5 should work so it's quite convenient it's web sockets but on the older browsers they emulate it of course because older browsers don't have support for web sockets so web sockets is not even a standard yet because all the browsers are still fighting about which standard they should be on but most browsers have uh most modern browsers have a socket implementation web socket implementation um but still they use different protocols and the great thing is that socket.io takes away thinking of that so on the client client part um it's the same you connect to say local host and then whenever news message comes in you do something with it so it's a really convenient way of writing events so with this you could easily make a web application a chat application on the web or anything like that it's a very convenient way to do it does backbone have bindings to any other languages um now it's pure java script what do you mean with bindings well some part of the server might not be in node.js so how do we get a similar capability a backbone you don't have to run it on the server uh backbone is uh basically just a model model view controller pattern in java script so if you use it in node.js that is your choice if you want to use another server then that's that's cool but once you want to use java script then backbone is a great mvc better yeah that's the i did that on purpose to just show the benefits of backbone um in in the sense that you can use the same models when that is needed of course in um in in real world applications you would probably split it up a bit but still you would use the same modules could you repeat the question really clearly uh you was asking if um um if there would be any problem if you have the same backbone script on the server and the client in terms of maintenance or support so i would say that in in most real life applications you would make classes that would um would be generic for clients and server but the whole event handling part probably you would do it differently than how i did it and that is actually because i really made this uh quickly and i um i put it every everything just in one one file of java script that is being parsed by the server and the client yeah what what what common is is your models yeah that is actually what i try to explain here that you can use the same models um especially when you use a database like mongo or something you can store these models directly to the database and use them in the same way on the on the client again so that is convenient about it sorry i have not benchmarked it but if you read if you look up the benchmarks by socket io with noj as you can easily run a a chat application with thousands of users just on my macbook that would work no problem yeah so in production when you're actually using this and you're using the same backboard models how do you uh you know actually make sure that parts of the module are different part of the module are the same um that you could do that by just um um we didn't really come up with a pattern for that but what you can do is um either have different models for the server and the client and share the common models um or inside your model you could work with something wherever you check if it's the server or the client something like that like i did here with if socket dot manager something like that you could do but i really did it quickly here but of course you have to work it out into a real world better yeah yes whenever the user refreshes the page it will try to connect to the same um server and then everything continues because as you see here on the initialize um um see basically the initialize events method will will run and then again the events will be uh handled no the data of course the data will be lost when you don't store it on the server but because everything is being synchronized on the server and all the clients everything is the same everywhere so then we don't have the problem but of course when you would have some data in the client that you didn't submit to the server and you would refresh the page then you lose your data but that is uh quite logic if the user goes offline it comes back on uh that socket i will make sure that you know it reconnects as as soon as possible yeah socket i will take care of of that re reconnecting part and everything so is there any complication with transactional integrity multiple clients updating the model at the same time um i guess there would be in this in this current example i think there would be so you would you would have to come up with a pattern where you take care of what you're doing because i'm just updating the models and whoever comes first will update it and probably if we click together on um um on the light button something strange will happen i mean it's just who comes first see we can uh don't double click since node is invented there's just one thread so whoever comes first wins it just serialize that node yeah whoever comes first wins it yeah it's it's all whoever comes first if you want to create a pattern for that then you have to extend it a bit but like i think that wouldn't even be too hard if you um in our um real life application we also handle the sessions so the current user sessions and then of course you can do some checks on whoever is doing this and is he allowed to do it and then you can take care of it sweet spot for backboard the sweet sweet spot where would you use it more than other others backbone is there's multiple sweet spots um um the sweet spot that i wanted to show is that um it's java script and it runs in no jazz and it runs in the in the client but it has many more sweet spots like for example the restful integration which is really great i could show an example of that also but i don't have much time for that but um normally what you can do with that is um just create your mvc pattern right from one piece of java script then on the server part whatever server it is you take care of handling each request and you have a it's just a very nice way of writing uh models um let me clarify so if you are the impression i got is if you are having a shared state that's simultaneously broadcast across number of clients exactly then probably this makes a lot of sense if every client is running uh let's say his own shopping cart it may or may not be so useful so in that sense what kind of applications is backbone more useful for than others then then you would more talk about just regular web applications uh where you want to create in the in the web in the website itself you want to create a kind of an mvc pattern then it is really great also so it's not not said that backbone has to be used in the in the way i just proposed so just a clarification on that the shared state i think you are implementing yourself right as exactly so it doesn't have to do with the models the shared state implementation is something here so you also have another 15 minutes if you want to demonstrate something um yeah but i don't know if i have done i know that would be too too hacky now so if anybody has some questions we could we could try something so you have a suggestion but otherwise i think it's it's quite clear um you was asking in the live application what kind of storage we're using um actually in that application we're using um draw box that has to do with this particular application they wanted to share documents and work on those documents together and because these documents have one um they they run in the same file format and also these users of these applications would use the file system to access these files draw box was a very convenient method of doing it but other examples that i have worked with this manga dbe or will this create any kind of issue when we are using a uh app cache method mechanism for html files like all my application is like is cached on my browser site that is on my mobile device so when it goes on the mobile device all my js and everything is stored on the mobile and it will never go for to the server to get the js file as well my html and js will be almost cached at my browser okay so will this socket.io might create an issue with my connection or anything because the simplest example comes in i need to give a rest api for if i open an ajax request if it is cached on my browser it will never fire an ajax request because it's an process scripting i don't know if you if you use the restful pattern that's something different than socketio if you use the restful pattern it will do post to the server so those posts will never be cached by your client so then there wouldn't be any issue so it might actually go and connect to the yeah yeah it should i mean there might be some issues but normally it should just work i mean your the html we hear the javascript they're aesthetic but everything that's happening is dynamic and that will be used by posts or in this case sockets and sockets will also never be cached yeah not only sockets but will it connect to the server cleanly just without any impact to be done yeah i suppose i don't see any issues so that's it so you mentioned a couple of times about something you're dead but using a draw box to share documents and work collaboratively is it online but can we see it um i don't think it is online um no i could try to run it down so i don't know why the front is so strange now i think it cached something talking of caching anyway here you see a list of files these are called btfl's which is a bowtie format so this is the kind of document i was talking about so whenever i open a btfl there are some connection issues okay that's a shame i can show it maybe it crashed this is really a local version so i don't know not much chance that i can show it but normally it would show a diagram bowtie diagram the bowtie diagram is something they use in the world of risk management um and you would be able to edit that diagram uh lively sorry it's crushing excuse me can you repeat any other template in the apart from jay um no apart from just html yeah i worked with moustache a little bit and there are many things even backbone has support for i think moustache um for the view part but jade is very convenient if you use it in collaboration with uh no jays and express web sir is backbone and socket io cross browser compatible mostly mostly socket io um works uh in most browsers and back home also i don't know the exact browser support should work in any modern browser okay um thanks


and some people like queebie or whatever are trying to come in and take that maybe yeah I can't even pronounce it. Do you know a little bit about them? Not really they're just raising a ton of money, but you know So basically what they're doing. I don't know anything about them. Yeah, I actually I was just at a interesting meeting and I got the whole pitch But basically they're using two cameras. So every everything that they film so you know how a lot of TV shows has b-roll Kind of yeah, you know how a lot of shows have like b-roll of like here the trees blah blah blah, right? Yeah, tell us about b-roll Yeah, yeah, we have make in the room the professional And so what queebie is doing is getting rid of all the b-roll getting rid of all of the I hate to say this But artistic elements to any television show and they're just making it like Corby says something to me I get punched in the face and it's all action and then it's like cut to cut It's like cutting yeah, and the whole thing is like 10 man. I think it's 10 minute television shows are less but the thing is they're filming it with two cameras one is horizontal one is vertical and They're also filming it from different perspectives And so if you want to see Nick's perspective You just flip your phone maybe to horizontal and now you're and now you're seeing it through Nick's eyes and vice versa And so there's a story component to this And they the whole bet at a really high level is everything is moving toward mobile and towards streaming And that's the bet and so they're raising money But they also have a tremendous amount of huge networks on board already huge television content creators But it's also it's just ten minute clips Ten minute videos ten minute basically that's so it's but the I think the coolest thing because it hasn't been seen yet Is this perspective? Yeah, it's like yeah, yeah, which is and and I haven't seen how they're gonna actually What it looks like or what it feels like but Directionally correct in terms of where I think the market is not to say that everything needs b-roll But the fact is they are getting away from it. I love it. It's all about that b-roll The fact that they're getting away from it entirely from a story perspective. Yeah, I think is just interesting I wonder if this is going to be like the taste test between coke and Pepsi So like with no b-roll, maybe you will like it at first But over time you're not going to want to watch this Because it doesn't sit as well with you because that's what b-roll allows you to do it allows you to Become a part of this environment or the show or whatever. Are you familiar with the coke first? Oh, yeah I thought it was actually a good analogy. Yeah. Yeah, so it's like, you know at first sip Pepsi has a much Sweeter taste to it So people will gravitate towards that but I'm wondering over time if Quibi will Quibi Quibi Quibi. I can't see it It's also maybe the names making you Quibi. Yeah But yeah, so I'd be interested to one learn more about Quibi But then to see what the development of it is over time I look at it differently. I like so we don't have a TV right have not TV in like six years I really respect that when I watch a commercial though. I am dude amazingly entertained I'm like that like I'll start laughing commercial Laughing like wow that was so well done. And I think Quibi when it launches what it does I think it puts more it almost highlights the b-roll in movies and sort of cinematic Whatever right? That's how I think about it. It's just like I watch a commercial today and I'm blown away I think people will watch movies and be blown away by the content the curation and they'll appreciate b-roll more Hey, everyone.

What's the world y'all welcome back to the call game recap today is one of those days man so much happened in the NBA world 67 a game slay we have 50 pointers Maybe the highlight of the year so much stuff and I'm here to talk about it Leave it like subscribe if you're new let's jump right in because I know there will be a lot first of all the ESPN website Is trash the way that they make you autoplay videos even when you tell them to stop is ridiculous I'm just putting that out there start off with the first game This is the first and only nasty televised game My Chicago Bulls have at least for the first half of the schedule and me and the guys were getting ready to watch this game And I just told them I just want my Bulls to play hard and not get blown out because you really think about it When you have one nasty televised game everybody watches game This might be a lot of people's first and only like like way of watching the Chicago Bulls is the only Impression they might have of this team so don't be terrible and today we didn't shoot the ball well But we weren't terrible. I feel like some people may have watched this game Okay, I realized that the Bulls are not a good team, but they know pushovers like they have been over the last couple seasons That's all I really care about people got to see Zach Levine in action Even though he didn't have a great shooting night you saw him take over parts of this game All I really wanted but all that being said when our center is six nine And we don't have a big body other than him. Yeah guys like Joel Embiid will eat last week I made a case for LeBron's MVP candidacy a couple days ago I made a case for Damien Lillard's MVP candidacy and today I'm making that case for Joel Embiid my top three getters right now vote getters right now today is the most dominant Big man performance. I've seen this season That's saying a lot because you'll get it's at a 50-point in himself You'll get a set of four well that 48 against the jazz was What 46 against the jazz really good? This one might be better and the reason I say that is because no matter what the Bulls did It did not matter double teams free Yeah, we had like triple teams at time and he closed our games like hit a big shot come down on defense Get the block rebound get fouled and hit the free stuff free throws the ice it That is MVP tight qualities and especially when when you take a consideration like the team is just really really bad when he sits and And and you saw it when they went against the jazz Jolin beat was there been sevens had the opportunity to do some things But it was still wasn't enough, but Jolin beat is a team Offensively and defensively the evolution of Jolin beat has been so incredible because these are the type of things We wanted to see from him over the past couple seasons and he hasn't been able to do a consistency Consistently right where they be due to injury ready to be due to rest and things like that But this year he's really doing it like if you think about last season before he said his goals Which are when defensive player year and went MVP, right? He didn't do any of those things and he actually didn't even make an all NBA team You know that it's in the back of his mind every single day. He laces up his sneakers, bro. He's he's he's the he's the guy He is the absolute guy and as much as he was great today I do want to show some love to Tobias Harris as well because if I'm not mistaken in the first half He didn't really do that much but Tobias Harris had one of those glue games where he had 20 Um, he did a lot of a playmaker because when open semis There wasn't really a lot of that going on and he deserves a lot of love as well very underrated season so far for Tobias Harris I know like Daryl Maury and some Philly fans are trying to get him into the all-star game I don't know if you'll actually get that but he definitely deserves some consideration man join the bead What a performance man. Just just just overall ridiculous, right? Next game we're going to talk about is the other Nazi televised game because that was a good one man That man down to Mitchell's on his team act stuff. He was like, I will not go down But he missed that free-thrown purpose as it is a bit weird This is what I want to say to the Clippers fans out there because I do get a lot of mentions about The Clippers being an under the radar team and what I always say to those mentors is that's exactly what you want as a Clippers fan the way last season went through where you were on top of things you're on magazines You got commercials saying we're the kings of LA and that you fall flat on your face And you're the laughing stock of the NBA you want to be under the radar right now And this was an amazing win against the hottest team in basketball, right? And guess what it wasn't kawai I mean these guys did play you know have their impact, but it wasn't kawai wasn't Paul George It was the surrounding pieces Lou Williams after we talked trash not talk trash We were pointing out how bad Lou Williams had been over the first month of the season the last week or two Amazing because Paul George and kawai Linda both missed a decent amount of time and why they were out This Clippers team was putting together wins without them, right? And that's what you want Mooc is showing that every penny that they gave him in the offseason was well worth it the Lucanar thing I'm still if you're about because he ain't really he ain't done much this season at all He got a he got a DMP today, and I think that was coach's decision Yeah, it was and they paid that man 17 18 million dollars whatever but like like today You saw Lou Williams saw Mooc and then the big thing is you see the Patrick Beverly impact, right? Patrick Beverly missed a lot of games so far this season And I know that everybody wants to joke about Patrick Beverly because he does he is super extra I understand people that don't like him because he is extra He did do the thing with Russell Westbrook I know it wasn't intentional to hurt Russell Westbrook But that that's a bad picture and people's mind and then even Russell Westbrook say he's been running around fooling y'all But you can't watch tonight's game like like like I did and say that Patrick Beverly Patrick Beverly just be fooling y'all Defensively on top of his game. He hit his shots, and that's all you really want for Patrick Beverly, right? I think the Clippers are better under the radar y'all I know you want to see your team get media love and everything But I'll tell you it's probably better for the long run to stay under the radar because the minute people start caring about you And you start to go on a little loser streak is the minute you get upset. That's all I'm really saying So be okay would be an under the radar next let's talk about the other 50-point game 250-point games on tonight This is the most efficient scoring night. I've seen from a guard that was just like Jamal Murray is so Weird of a player because he is as streaky as it gets Moments you see why they give him that max contract today is one of those moments But there are games where he have eight points ten points twelve points twenty points six points eight like he has the Biggest roller coaster of points ever It's just the way it is right and I think Mike Malone after the last game was like man Yolk is doing everything you can we need somebody else to step up and then now you get him stepping up This was the first version of bubble Murray. We've seen since the bubble 50 without a free throw is Ridiculous, it had never been done before according to according to Twitter I ain't do the fact-checking myself, but according to Twitter never done before It's incredible and the funniest thing about this is like we were watching this game I think he had 20 going into half Michael Porter Junior also had 21 going into half And I was like, oh who's gonna have the good second half because you know both of them probably wasn't gonna end up with 40 Michael Porter Junior scored one point in the second half and the Jamal Murray did all of the rest as good of a Performances was and how funny was to watch. I do got to give some love to my other short king out there He might be taking the reins as my favorite short king and the NBA right now Composal bro Composal is is the exact opposite of what you would expect from a short king because we get this reputation Especially the NBA world where we are defensive liabilities when you're under six foot less be honest, bro When you're you can't guard it's harder. It's way harder. Composal is a good defender under six foot I don't care what they got him listed as he's under six foot in a good defender He's fun and that those are the type of things. I really like I hope I hope that Joe Michael Green is okay I don't know the any updates about that and then Gary Harris to write Gary Harris as well They both got to get healthy and then the calves continue to slide man. They told drumming not to come back They continue to slide. This is like ah, I mean they showed the glimpses of what could be I think that's what cast man should be thinking about we showed glimpses what we could be Let's get another lot of your pig Let's add on top of this like one thing I did see about them that I can say positively I think a crow was aggressive now I do know that he missed a bunch of bunnies But he was aggressive getting to the basket and trying to create his own shot and that's evolution of him Which is good next game the Kimball Walker game This is if you didn't know this is the Kenny beat your boost anytime I talked to an NBA player the next couple games you expect them to be great The same thing happened really go bear and now it's happening with Kimball Walker I interviewed him yesterday will be out soon and he came in and he was like, oh, yeah I hear y'all talking that trash Celtics fans. I'm still I still got it But is the thing about the Celtics they they have these games where they look amazing Everybody's contributing and then they go on two games where it's like, okay Now only three of our players are really contributing. Oh that bench that we saw really good tonight won't be good tomorrow So they need to keep that repetition time load was amazing today overall. They're big. We're good today Christian Tyce Time Lord great the Atlanta Hawks. Oh Man, how how disappointed it has been. Um, we always say the thing bet on yourself Fred Eveley got this whole mantra Jimmy Butler We've seen so many NBA players bet on themselves when they have a contract on the table We like no I'm gonna go into this restrict the year so I could get more money in this season It was John Collins and so far John Collins is losing money day by day day by day They offered him $90 million in extension and he said no I deserve more and uh, nope so far this season He ain't really done that Gallinari is one of the most most disappointing players disappointing signings of the season He was bad and and overall he's just been very bad for them And it's just it's tough because the Atlanta Hawks were a team that when you think about all their signings You're like, okay This is a team that should be be in the position to be at least in the playing right and so far. It hasn't really been that I know they're still missing Hunter, which is such a big piece to them Who was today man in yaka Kangoo Rondo was Rondo playing today Rondo didn't play today and Chris don't we don't I got damn think about so they are missing some quality players But there are games that they've lost this season that they probably should have won I'm not saying this is one of them But they just can't get everybody to contribute the way that they want them to Gallinari man that contract is looking bad through the first month and a half of the season That's what I'm saying. Um next game that I got to watch parts of was was Bucks versus Thunder I was hoping that the Thunder won this game and it's not because I don't like the Bucks or anything But I like I like when when when people got pressure on them and coach budd had pressure on them And luckily he went against a team that's going on the you know on the downward thing So they got a win but like I like when people have pressure on them all of the people I follow on Bucks Twitter Got a fire bud profile picture right now and when you get wins that that firing process probably get get pushed back Just a little bit and then I think or the last game was the Raptors versus Tim Wolves such an ugly game Right, but it did get the highlight of the year so far Listen, there is a Nate Duncan. All right.  We need those stat guys We need the eye test guys. We need the combination of the two this may Anthony Edwards at the play of a lifetime today You don't want to not be why why were you jumping right?   I don't know. I don't know why we Hopefully everybody understands or some people understand, but uh, normie pal Last couple games, especially with calorie being now has been incredible for them. Um, you don't want to knob it I know he ended up getting dunked on but he brings in the in the minutes at your place He brings his energy.  Um, Terrence Davis I forgot Terrence Davis even existed y'all came in and hit a big shot later in the game But for the Timberwolves, bro Give Carl Anthony tells the goddamn ball every time they're in a close game. I'm mentioning this Courtney tells can't get the ball Give it just give it to him It's not like teams a triple team in him and denying the the the entry passes Give him the ball. I don't know if he took a shot in the last three minutes It's Carl Anthony towns give him the ball Yeah, the Saunders Saunders kids got to be better Saunders kids got to be better, bro There's no way and it was like multiple timeouts and they couldn't even draw up a play where carnton towns even gets a look at the ball Look at the basket It's rough. It's rough. Um, is that everything that I talk about every game I got to see Um, didn't watch magic, but I saw voose of his head a great game triple double game very under the radar I wouldn't be surprised if he got some all starting awesome some coaches, but I don't know the coaches are notorious for Just picking players on winning teams. So he's one of those guys that maybe not get get the love Which other is that every game? I did not I I need to get back on the grizzlies grind man Because because just having these performances. I need to get back on the grizzly grind. Oh my god That is not the only game probably my favorite game of the day. Thank god. I looked at the slate again Christopher Emanuel paul Continues to show that he is the point god point god And this is not just a fan in me talking bro This man took over the fourth quarter and not just with the scoring But with the shot, I don't think devin booker scored in the fourth quarter He with the scoring the passing they were down by double digits in this fourth quarter They they hit their shots and a lot of that was chris paul being chris paul I absolutely love this man He is one of those dudes that if you are not watching chris paul right now, you're missing out on greatness We don't know how many years left chris paul has at playing at this level You need to be tuned in because this man continuously takes teams and turned them into playoff teams now I know that the sons were eight and knowing the bubble So maybe they would have been on a trajectory to make the playoffs without him But he's guaranteeing them a playoff spot by his amazing play. He should be an all-star consideration I damn didn't want to put him as a lock, but I ain't looked at the rest of the players He deserves it. I don't care what the counting stats say I don't care what the counting stats say you got to look deeper than that You got to watch these games to see the impact of christopher immanuel paul The pelicans rotation is trash That's my takeaway I hate when I hate when teams get in the close games and then instead of running the flowing offense They may have run for the first three quarters They end up resulting the isolation ball and it's just why Why why take it away from what was working the entire game Stan van gunny's got to get those rotations down bro Because they took it was it was the end of the third quarter rotation or substitutions That let the phoenix sons take over chris paul was feasting on the backup guards And and instead and instead of seeing it and trying to stop the bleeding while was there Stan van gunny's like no, we're gonna wait. We're gonna wait. We're gonna keep our normal rotations We're not gonna make any adjustments to the things i've done all the rest of the season This is a game they should have won 100 percent A game that devin booker doesn't score in the fourth Maybe he scored one or twice, but I don't I don't feel like he scored the entire fourth quarter Devin booker didn't score an entire fourth quarter and we were up by double digits and we still lost Frank aminsky has been a very weird player to throw into the starting lineup, but he has been amazing for them Um in moderation today was one of those really big games for them Deondre aiden was having so many things and him on the glass was great. It's just Mm-hmm. It shouldn't have been a game j crowd a big game. That's it. Okay. I'm so happy I went back on it. Leave it like subscribe if you're new Let me know what you think about about everything I said, uh, agree or disagree I'll be in the comment section peace call game


Patton, this is California, over. California, this is Massachusetts. It runs when everything else goes south. Go ahead and copy it, sir. The communication of last resort. It's old technology, but it works. Sometimes you've got to go with old reliable. Over. In an age where smartphones and the internet rule, the reliability of these high-tech forms of communication are still susceptible to man-made and natural disasters. Puerto Rico, the entire island is devastated, the entire island. Assistant Chief Ben Green runs the Cal OES Auxiliary Communication Service. What's that, you ask? We provide additional information, particularly in an affected area, that may be impaired with communications to the State Operations Center. In other words, when typical communications go down, like landlines, cell phones, and the internet, he and his volunteers can tap their vast network of amateur state and federal radio operators for help. There are lots of amateur radio nets in the area. Jim Price and Lee Rominger are volunteer amateur radio operators, also known as HAMS. Each week they use these radios to conduct a roll call of other radio operators around the state. Calusa County, this is California, over. This ensures they can all talk to each other, should an actual emergency take out comms anywhere in California or its neighboring states. We're here, we train, we know both the amateur radio side and then how to interface into the OES organization. So we're bringing both those sides together. Their high-frequency radios can communicate with almost any HF radio anywhere in the state, the nation, or even around the world. Standing water, four people trapped in vehicle. These volunteer HAMS often train alongside CERT members, like they did here at Urban Shield 2017. You see, it prepares them for real emergencies. Most recently, amateur radio came to the rescue after California wildfires destroyed communications lines and towers. Before that, Jim and Lee used their radios to monitor the evacuation of residents during the Orville Dam emergency. We were monitoring the situation up there on VHF because we had a repeater that we knew they were on and their shelter was on up there, so we were able to talk to them. They fed the intel to the State Operations Center, which was coordinating the response. HF radio was also used to get voice and data communications out of Puerto Rico after Hurricanes Irma and Maria destroyed the island, knocking out all forms of communication. The reason HAM radios work when everything else won't is that they don't rely on infrastructure like towers, cables, satellites, or microwave signals. And it's portable.  And if conditions are right, HF signals can travel halfway around the globe. Can you hear me now? Okay, yes, it's old tech, but when human health and welfare is at risk and all other means are down... We'll use whatever it takes. For more information about the Cal OES Auxiliary Communications Service, how amateur radio plays an important role in emergency communications, and how you can parlay your own radio skills into community service, go to OESNews.com and do a keyword search.

India faces significant environmental challenges due to inadequate waste collection, transport, treatment, and disposal systems that cannot cope with increasing urban populations' waste generation, impacting the environment and public health. The paper reports on an international seminar on sustainable solid waste management for cities in Sark countries organized by the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research National Environmental Engineering Research Institute and the Royal Society. Waste segregation at source and specialized waste processing facilities to separate recyclable materials are key roles in moving from reliance on waste dumps to waste management systems that retain useful resources within the economy. Disposal of residual waste after extraction of material resources needs engineered landfill sites or investment in waste-to-energy facilities with potential for energy generation from landfill via methane extraction or thermal treatment. However, a key barrier is the shortage of qualified engineers and environmental professionals with experience to deliver improved waste management systems in India.
