All right, so we'll So welcome to those who've just come in We're on where we're closing in we are almost coming to the end of our learning on emotional wholeness and today we are at We are on on chapter 11 sorry chapter 9 sorry chapter 9 and We're going to be looking at living daily with the renewed mind. So last week We had followed up on The second part of crucifying the flesh we were we did look at laying the axe to the root to lust as well as pride and we looked at how we can get rid of the works or the fruit of the flesh and By by doing the following which is to walk in the spirit to live in the spirit to walk in the spirit then it was to be regular continuously established and rooted in Jesus Christ in the person of Jesus Christ and to cut off all kinds of Influences that are ungodly and to keep ourselves consecrated so that We we live in a place of wholeness. We Continuously live in the place of wholeness What we're going to be looking at is another another factor of Staying emotionally whole is to live with a renewed mind Now going back to how we started You would you would recollect that one of the main causes of Emotional issues or the problems that we would face emotionally is the thoughts that we engage in the wrong thoughts that we engage in and I think we've been spoke about it in our initial class of how Regularly we have so many thoughts that bombard our mind on a daily basis We have we have many many thoughts and some of these thoughts are about regular life These thoughts about ourselves as people and thoughts about others Thoughts about who we are. So there are so many things That go on in our mind and we did see that one of the problems that bring about Emotional brokenness one of it one among those causes was Our wrong thoughts or our negative form of thinking and we did see how the thoughts that we engage in effects our Feelings it affects our behavior. It affects our walk with God and when we are not aligned In the right way or we do not take captive those thoughts and make them subject to The word of God we find that we could walk into trouble. So today we are going to be Focusing on the renewed mind and some of these verses are Very familiar to us and we probably know these verses by heart. We've read these verses many times So today we're going to look a little more deeper into what does this Renewed mind mean and what are some of the elements of a renewed mind and how do we how are we careful that we Have a good Understanding and good knowledge about what this the renewed mind is asked to talk about it So one of the verses that is often quoted with the renewed mind is what we see in Romans 12 verses 1 and 2 and this is something that I think many of us Are aware of and we we even are able to quote it. They're able to speak of it, right? But what I want to do is I just want to maybe That there is the NKGV version Is something that we generally use but I really wanted to bring out another version that is the Amplified version and just read that part for you So, you know, just to just to give you a little bit more of meat from from the renewing From what is meant by the renewal of the mind? So let me read verses 1 and 2 in the amplified version Romans 12 1 and 2 I appeal to you therefore brethren and beg of view in view of all the mercies of God in view of All the mercies of God to make a decisive dedication of your bodies as a living sacrifice Holy and well-pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service and spiritual worship Do not be conformed to this world Which means to this age and to what is right now or all over us But be transformed or changed by the Entire renewal of your mind. So in over here There is there are there that a meaning of it is given in saying when you're saying renewal of your mind Changing the ideals and the attitude that one carries So that you may prove for yourselves What is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God? Even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect in his sight for you Okay, so the so Paul talks about being transformed or being changed and the word transformed in You know comes from a specific root word and I'm just picking that up so kindly Yeah, so the so the word Transformed comes from the word metamorph who which You know the English word is as we understand is metamorph Metamorphosis that is Something that changes that trans figures or that transforms and the word Metamorphosis, you know for all of us who have been biology students or you know has learned about science know that one of the processes in nature of how a Lava turns a pupa turns into a butterfly is through a stage of metamorphosis That is the stage of the lava that is more worm like Changes and becomes a butterfly it becomes a flying beautiful creature So it's that same word that's being used here be transformed by the renewal of your mind renewing of your mind and we see the Transformation happens when you renew your mind so that you can prove what is good and acceptable and the perfect well of God so it is it is And Paul is actually saying he's giving an instruction here, you know and says He's not saying and brothers, you know be careful not to it saying do not do not Follow the ways of the world or follow what the things of the world are or things of this age But be changed be transformed be completely changed by the renewing of your mind And it bring he brings about it again that in Ephesians 4 23 and saying being renewed in the spirit of your mind so this is a very important part of Us staying Emotionally whole and staying in emotional fullness as As God would desire, okay So what how do we do this? What do we do or what are some of the things that we do? I mean we can read this so often. So what do we do? And how can we follow a process of knowing that you are in the process of renewing your mind? so one of the first things Apologies, sorry One of the first things we see is is to be able to take on the thoughts and the ways of God Okay, to be able to take on God's thoughts and ways for us And I want to highlight a scripture for you on Isaiah 55 8 to 11 Would somebody kindly take that verse up and read because you know I I'm I find it very hard when there's so much of silence. It's like I'm hearing myself and myself on me So somebody would you all just pick up Isaiah 55 verses 8 to 11 and Yes, go ahead of me Isaiah 55 verse 8 to 11 for my thoughts are not your thoughts No, are your ways my ways says the Lord For as the heavens are higher than the earth So are my ways higher than your waves and my thoughts than your thoughts Whereas the rain comes down and the snow from heaven and do not return there But what are the earth and make it bring forth the bud that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater So shall my word be that goes forth from my mouth It shall not return to me void But it shall accomplish what I please and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it in man Amen. Thank you. Thank you. I'm me. So, you know, this is a beautiful scripture where it one it contrasts Our mind and it contrasts the mind of God it says his thoughts and Our thoughts has no equivalent. There is no equivalency in the way that I think and the way that God thinks okay or the way that Or God's ways and my ways So and and he gives that description and says as high as the heavens are from The earth so are my Ways and my thoughts higher than yours. Okay, so you can imagine, you know you look up to the sky and you cannot even see the You know the end the like a horizon in the sky, right? It is it is an endless vast space So even if you want wanted to look at something higher, you can't see it because it's so so so high It's so so lofty and that's the description God is giving here that your thoughts and my thoughts are so vast are so different are so so Opposingly different and that's what we are called to do. We're called to take on the thoughts of God Which means what does it mean it means that you don't focus on your thoughts and your ways Because they are limited. They are small. They are maybe unidirectional There is one way of how we think but God's ways are much much higher The dimensions are much much greater and something else that the verse verses 10 to 11 says That you know, it brings about an example here that as the rain comes down and the snow from heaven Do not return there that is whenever it rains whenever it snows It reaches the heaven and it's sorry. It reaches the earth. It does not go back up But what does it do it? What is the earth? It goes in and it brings forth forth fruit Okay, and it says it brings forth fruit so much so that it even feeds the sower and It feeds the eater. Okay, so will God's word be that comes from his monster everything That God has put in his word is his thoughts and his ways for us the way that we we Understand God's thoughts and his ways is primarily by the word and then by the imparting of the Of the anointing of the spirit by what the spirit tells us or directs us And it says once this word is there once the word has gone forth It will not go back empty. It does not go back void, but it will accomplish So it will bring forth whatever it was sent forth for so we see when you take on the thoughts of God continue to Dwell mal munch You know like the cow does you regurgitate it You know you keep bringing it back and back and back and back to get back the juices when you do that It will accomplish the thing it was sent for so that's what a way of renewing your mind is to taking on the thoughts and ways of God and Knowing that the thoughts and ways of God are far more greater far more Bigger than our own thoughts and our own ways. So that's one way that that we we We live or what a renewed mind is and what do we do? The second is to be able to take on the attitudes of Christ. So would someone Open to Philippines chapter 2 verse 5 please Philippines chapter 2 verse 5 Anybody Philippines chapter 2 verse 5 Go ahead go ahead please have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you Rupa. Okay. So what is it says? Let the mind let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. So The way that Jesus as he walked the earth What were what were his? Attitudes what and and we see the attitude of Christ through what through how he ministered To people through what he taught through what he spoke Through the way that he lived his life, and that's something that you see you know, there are some attitudes that you see of Christ by reading through the Gospels of how did he live here as You know, he walked the earth and how did he walk that how did he walk the earth? So we all know that it is only what we harbor in our attitudes is what will actually come out in our behaviors Suppose you have a ranger towards some somebody Quite rightly you are going to express it in some way or the other how much ever you attempt to have a Pretence of it it will show out in your words or in your behavior or in your demeanor All right, so or if you have an attitude of love to someone Whatever you do comes out of that love. So we see that all that how Jesus walked the earth He showed his nature and his attributes the way he showed compassion the way he He he felt he was moved When he saw people what he taught is what he what what was in his mind what was the things of God So we recall when we take in when we sing renewing our mind is to take on that attitude of Christ So maybe let's take simple examples of maybe there is somebody at work or somebody who who is With you who's associating with you can be very annoying, you know, that may be somebody annoying and just Just gives you a very very hard time or rubs the wrong side of you and often it is You know, you feel sarcasm at the tip of your lips that you're waiting to to bring about something to Shut them down or to put them in their place What is so you when we're saying have have the same mind which was also in Christ Jesus What would Jesus do at a point like this? What would Jesus do if he was faced with a person like this? Maybe there was this probably patience that is a sense of love There is a sense of long suffering as a sense of understanding where they are coming from so Putting on the attitudes of Christ is renewing your mind So every time you're faced with something really practical and so what would Jesus do in a situation like this? Holy Spirit helped me to bear that same attitude that That Christ had if you know Christ was standing right here and dealing with him or how does Christ How how does Jesus deal with him at this point of time? So bearing that attitude taking on that very same attitude? Okay, so we looked at one is taking on the thoughts of God Thanks We looked at taking on the attitude of Christ that the third way is to take on the knowledge of God To to to know more and more about him Okay So would someone take pick up Colossians chapter 3 verse 10 and read it somebody else other than Rupa and Avni Someone else Colossians chapter 3 verses 10 so that so that you know, I can hear all your lovely voices to Colossians 3 10 come on Colossians 3 10 now I may need it. Yeah, go ahead.  Thank you Colossians 3 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge According to the image of him who created him. Thank you. Thank you. I've been us. Okay, so Colossians 3 10 says when we are made We're made new by by the spirit But this new man is being renewed in the knowledge of God We continuously Have greater Revelations of who God is Knowing getting deeper in our understanding of who God is Knowing his nature his attributes So when you spend more time to understand the nature of God knowing who God is who's Yeah, and and who's the one who renews us That becomes a way of how we renew our mind you begin to know who God is when you renew your mind with the knowledge with the Understanding with greater revelations of your Creator greater revelations of Jesus greater revelations of the Holy Spirit And how he works when in in you you live with a renewed mind. Okay So now going from here We have we know that these things are what what it means to live what with a renewed mind Now what does a renewed mind mean that it is a one-off process or it's something that happens Just one time Renewing your mind is a continuous process.  It is a continuous process. It's something that you continue doing. It's like Eating it's not something that you can stop because if you stop you will definitely see deficits and deficiencies in you So similarly, this is a continuous process and this process The more that you stand in that place of being having a mind that's renewed You continue to receive new revelations of who he is and you grow in the understanding of God You grow greater in who he is What what is his purpose in your life? What is his will in your life? How does he work you just keep growing and grow you grow from from strength to strength from glory to glory from Maturity to maturity it keeps going on. So this is something that keeps going on and on It's a continuous a regular daily Process and it's something that we need to keep doing and the As we as we commit to doing that we find that even it begin it changes our soul It also involves the conquest of the mind and that's something that we looked in the in a chapter before How do we what what do we address here? We understand that the mind is a place where we need to conquer and we must learn to Every thought that comes to us to be able to take up take up take it captive and Make it in obedience or in alignment with God We need to renew our mind and develop a positive mindset. We looked at that, right? So since we did cover that we won't pay too much attention there at this point of time You know if you could go back to to that lesson and reread that the another thing that it involves is To understand that our mind has You know, we need to balance these three things We need to we need to balance what we and what we know as our reasoning we need to balance our renewed mind and The leading of the Holy Spirit it is an interplay of these three our reasoning our Minds as well as the leading of the Holy Spirit and this is some and all of this is something that we will just quickly go through and Begin to understand better with with probably some examples, so let's look at the the that The renewing of our mind being a continuous process. So as we said You're the your spirit person your spirit person is Is what this is where you discover and where you explore and understand New things about God and grow in the knowledge and the understanding of him Now as you do that as you stand in obedience to do that Your person your your soul or your thoughts begins to receive Revelation your new person begins to receive revelation and this Intern begins to affect your thinking it begins to change your thinking Okay, so let's take a couple of verses and then we'll probably draw out from there. So Would someone read Ephesians 1 17 to 19 we already read Colossians 3 10 would somebody please like to read Ephesians 1 17 to 19 Ephesians 1 17 to 19 Go ahead Tisha Okay, and it reads You said Ephesians 1 17 to 19. Yes Okay, I keep asking that God of our Lord Jesus Christ the glorious father may give you the spirit of wisdom and Revelation so that you may know him better. I Pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know The open which he has called you and the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people and His incomparable great power for us who believe That power is the same as the mighty strength Thank you. Thank you Tasha Thank you. So we what we do see here from these scriptures is when we are in a place of Renewing our minds we are growing in the knowledge and the wisdom of God Okay, so I think that's that's step one Each time we renew our minds by getting back on the word We are growing in who God is we're growing in knowing his attributes his nature Who the the surpassing knowledge of God begins to build in us? Okay, and we are growing in that and it is it's what you did know about God as a new believer Changes how when you get back on the word and that's why the ministry of the word is so so very important it's not just enough to be saved to to To be assured of salvation and leave it to that but you need to continue to Be discipled in the word of God and that's why as new believers Just Taking them to a place of a of a sinner's prayer and leaving them there you know you You haven't given them the tools of how they can mature and grow in their faith So it isn't enough to just leave leave people or disciples or new believers as they are But to help them in the word to help them grow in the knowledge of God And how do they do that you do that by getting them to come back on the word So when you look at Ephesians 1 17 19 it says, you know It's a prayer that Paul is making and he says may God give you the spirit of wisdom and Revelation in the knowledge of him May the spirit of wisdom and revelation Be there to build your knowledge in him and why so as you do that what happens so that The eyes of your understanding may be enlightened That is your discovery and your and whatever you you are Hearing or whatever, you know of God will be opened your understanding opens so that You what what what would you know? You would know the hope of his calling you would know what his purpose is up You would know the riches of his inheritance for you What all does he have in store for you as a believer is it? Is it just salvation or are there many other things that he's given to you? It's his authority. It's it's the power that we have it's It's his presence. It's the guidance of the Holy Spirit. It's healing its deliverance. It's It's Empowering there are the inheritance that is then so much more The eyes of your understanding will be open and you will begin to see what is this? What else will you see? You will see the greatness of his power You will see the mighty work of his power in your life as you grow in the knowledge of God And this happens just by the ministry of the word and that's why we say this this is a Continuous process so the spirit man Is being born again and yes becomes a new man But our spirit needs to grow in that knowledge We need to grow in the strength of God grow in the grace of God grow in the mercy of God And this comes in as we read God's word We also receive the spirit of wisdom and revelation that is given by the power of the Holy Spirit And as we grow in the knowledge about God our father we get to know we grow in the inheritance We understand the inheritance He has given to us and what he has done for us in Christ We do also see the power that's been made available for us So as our spirit receives this this wisdom as it receives this knowledge as it receives this Revelation it begins to work in our minds Our minds become renewed and we change our thinking and that thinking changes the way that we feel changes the way that we Behave it changes our lifestyle and this becomes an ongoing process So it's almost like you know every time there is a new revelation that you have of God It begins to see pin it begins to see pin to your mind It begins to see pin into your behavior and into your lifestyle. So the And there's never a stop to this It's it's always a process that keeps going on because the word of God is so deep and I'm sure that all of us have felt that you know, you've read a scripture Maybe a hundred times but the hundred and first time that you read it You find something you God reveals something to you the spirit of wisdom comes and reveals something Absolutely afresh to you and that begins to take take root in your mind take root in your In in your in your soul and that begins to change you So this Continues to happen over and over again and we look at it as an ongoing process now Think of think of a time that you're not doing it. What happens the spirit man becomes dry becomes dull it becomes it becomes Thirsty and there isn't And and as a result, you know, it begins to affect the way that you think it begins to affect your soul So coming to that place of you know, it's it's like watering a plant You know the you need to do it every day You can't suppose that all because you've done it for the first 14 years or first 15 years and then Leave it to draw from from its surrounding. It's something that requires a Constant nourishment so so think of of your spirit man like that. That it's something that has to be Continuously nourished by God's word and the leading of the Holy Spirit and and receiving that so that it seeps in Into your soul and it bears that fruit, okay? and and and you know that just Knowing that in itself brings about a desire to go back to God's word and knowing that, you know, just by doing it In with all with all your You know with all your attention and with all your focus does so much more Then just actually having it picked off from your to-do list It has so much more that happens the more that we dwell in God's word It begins to change our spirit our soul It begins to change our mind thereby changing our lifestyle So that continues to be a process that that helps to bring about a renewed mind now moving on to the to the third point like I said the second point of conquest of the mind is something that We we have dealt with so we're going to be looking at to see how do we learn to balance the renewed mind now Even if if you are at if you have your notes open, you will see that small little diagram and Just just a quick explanation of what that diagram means is to show you that there are three elements In the believer's mind three elements that we've got to focus on In the in the believer's mind. So one is a reason Okay, the second is the leading of the Holy Spirit and the third is the word of God And the promises and the principles that are there in God's word, okay So as we're living the renewed mind, we need to see how do these three elements Interplay with one another. How do they weave in together? What is what is an important part of this and we also so we we're learning how to balance You know, we learn to balance this the renewed mind with these three elements and Also, if you look at the other the right side of it, you would see the word presumption there How is it that we avoid getting into a trap of presumption? Now we will we will learn this a little bit more and focus on it as we go So let's look at these three elements first and and understand So reason what is what is the meaning of reason? The meaning of reason is to Okay, let me open this out so that it's not just my voice. What do you think the meaning of reason is You could put it up on the chat. What is reasoning mean And is it something that is that is That is of God or of the enemy What is reason and is it of God or is it of the enemy? Yes, Kennedy go ahead I think it's just being analytical critical When you're dealing in a situation where you have to analyze it and question and think more How it's going to affect you Okay Very good. Okay. So you said reasoning Kennedy says reasoning is an ability to analyze and think about Situations and see what would affect you what wouldn't okay. Avni says it is It is of God. Okay Yes, Shay. Go ahead It's a logical way of accessing Um any situation or any Um Or any problem basically Um It's it's of God because again God made us and put the brain in our in our heads to reason our things But it could also be a tool of the enemy If we don't renew our minds just as you've been teaching us, right? So invariably the ultimate goal of our reasoning is supposed to line up With God's word Okay, great. Thank you. Shay. Shay in a nugget Did what the entire class had to say? Thank you. Shay. Yeah, so that that's that's right. Yeah, so uh reasoning is something That that God has given to us It is something that God's designed And he has given given to us it is the ability to question to logically think to investigate to strategize to um to bring about like cause and effect and It is something that that that involves also our abilities of intellect like for example It's raining Okay, what would you do? You will take an umbrella or a raincoat Okay, or if you have to go to a cousin's house That's a couple of miles away You reason and you logically say walking that is not going to help. I may need to take a um Take a vehicle take a bus or take a take a car or or some form of Transportation It is something that is given to us by God. It's an ability that God has given For us so God if if um, you know for those of us who are in the counseling class We we looked at it that God has given us a rational mind an ability to think And this is something that is absolutely biblical So the ability to investigate to strategize is something that's given by God and we will see a lot of scriptures That corroborate The truth that God is the one who's given us a mind to think and to strategize So let's look at a couple of examples Proverbs chapter 13 verse 6 it says every prudent man acts with knowledge But a fool lays open his folly. So every Person who walks in prudence is someone who acts with knowledge. You need to use your thinking And your understanding like for example, maybe you don't have enough ration for the day for the evening Okay, and your store is opened. So you go you use your rational mind And do what you're supposed to do rather than saying God's going to provide and bring the Store keeper to provide the food here for me on my table No, you go out and make your purchases because God has given you an ability to reason And to logically use the resources that you have so you act with knowledge and you act with prudence Or proverbs 19 2 it says also it is not good for a soul to be without knowledge And he sins who hastens with his feet. So what is this? What is this verse telling us that God desires for us to build on our intellectual abilities To build on certain skills So if there is something that you are doing that you feel Or that you that you sense that you're not Having the right skills or the knowledge to do it is good for your soul to be To build up on that to build that intellectual ability So is it so it is good to to to to educate yourself? It is good to get into some form of skill building It is good to do things that will build upon your knowledge and that's something that God wants of us to do Just just not being in a position of okay I am I am taught of the Lord and great will be my peace Right, but we need to open up those opportunities for us to be continuously intellectually Built up intellectually peaked right So we it is a good thing that we build those abilities something that God wants us to do proverbs 24 6 for by wise council You will wage your own war and in a multitude of counselors. There is safety. So when you Have adequate knowledge, you will know What is the important right things that you need to do for by wise council? You will wage your own war. You will know how to deal with your own battles there and of course with multitude of counselors that is when you do get the help of others You know, there is there is a greater benefit Ecclesiastes 10 10 If the ax is dull and one does not sharpen the edge, then he must use more strength But wisdom brings success. So what does this say? If you're dull in something Okay, if if the tools you are using For whatever you may be engaging in if you don't have the right tools Or if you don't have the right information or the right skills or the right techniques and if you do not Do anything to build yourself up, then you have to really really work hard But wisdom brings success. So just having the wisdom to go and sharpen your tool or sharpen your technique sharpen your methods sharpening your skills brings about a lot More of strength. It brings about a lot more of wisdom and and success So is God against you building your knowledge and building your wisdom? No, God is not opposed to that. God in fact wants us to to enhance Whatever skills he's given us in whatever form He's given us and he wants us to build ourselves in that maturity. So if you see in first Corinthians 14 20 It says brethren do not be children in understanding However in malice be babes, but in understanding be mature. So it's saying don't be Don't be immature In bigger in in getting knowledge or getting understanding. Don't be immature.  Don't be like babies, but be mature What is it that we have to be babies in in malice in something that is not of God something that is That is contrary to what God wants. That's what we need to be little little Developed in but our development should be should be and ought to be in the point of growing our wisdom and our knowledge.  So we've we've understood that reasoning is from God It is an ability to logically do things And a lot of times we we need to use our reasoning We need to use our logic as we move on a day-to-day basis like for example You know, maybe simple things of of what am I going to wear today or what is it that you know, where am I going to What am I going to cook to eat today? There are things that God's given you. Maybe there are 10 Items that you have you use the wisdom you find out Maybe a nicer recipe to do and that's something that God wants you to do He wants us to use our the capacities. He's given us To to go ahead with with things. Okay, so that's part of reasoning There's something that supersedes this Is the leading of the holy spirits? That's the second element that we will go into about understanding what the renewed mind is Now before we go that I think we have around three minutes and I think I'll stop here And look seek for questions or any thoughts or anything And then maybe after our break, we will get back into the part the second element of leading of the holy spirit So any thoughts open for any questions here? are we all That clear or Have you not understood anything? It has to be either So any questions any doubts any thoughts? Why is the summer getting too much on each of us? Is it too hot? Ma'am, I think it was very clear to us And actually this is the strength that we gain with the renewed mind that many times You know Though I I understood that very late and now I'm literally enjoying it understanding the power of renewed mind because No one had ever taught us the way we have learned it in this college like It's not so much taught in the church is probably or Because we miss out on this very foundational truth We struggle to see that victory in our lives that breakthroughs in our life You know, we keep praying but without the word prayers are Uh, you know not working well prayers, you know, some people just pray and they think why is the answer not coming but I personally understood that In a situation like if I have a headache, I need a Medicine for my headache if I have a stomach ache. There is a different medicine for my stomach ache So what I understood was for every situation god has an answer in the word And I have I have experienced that I've taken the word I've sown that seed in my life and I've seen the answers coming like I mean amazingly God doing that work Where you started with his ways are higher. We cannot comprehend these ways We can only believe and you know, walk with him Knowing that he is leading us so beautifully when we depend on him completely So I I really enjoy this Learning about renewed mind and I I gain so much from it because I feel so strengthened after the Learning and after applying it and seeing the answers coming. So ma'am. Thank you for teaching that beautifully Thank you so much Thanks god. Thank you. I'm knee for sharing. Thank you Yes, she you have uh response to commend the question Yeah, it's more of a comment. Um, I I think this is the frustration of new converts when They notice that the things they were struggling with You know, they don't see themselves being released from those things Even though yes, they had made jesus lord and savior of their lives And I think early on, you know in the church generally speaking There wasn't so much message on Why people should renew their minds instead? There was more of demands on what they should be And what they should not and they never kind of like there was really so much teachings Maybe now but back then And I think somehow or the other I think this is the frustration of some christians that they feel yes Now they're new creation they're new creation in christ, which is totally true But in manifesting that new creation There has to be something that goes on, you know In the mind of that person. So this is a very very very, um important important topic when it when we talk about renewing our minds and I think just again that Even if we're renewing our minds, we shouldn't stop because we should continually, you know Keep renewing and renewing and renewing our minds No matter how much we have studied god's word It just keeps on going and going and going so that our minds are fresh On the world and our minds are in alignment with the holy spirit How he wants us to reason and how he wants us to think Just my comments. Thank you Thank you. Thank you. Shea. I think you you said it so It's so true That those you know when when new believers come in when they when they They just begin to see another world You know when they are they become new believers and their spirit man changes and for a week They are like on top of the world and slowly Um when things of the soul begins to come up and they are beginning to see why did that change Why am I continuing to be the same person that I was it should have all changed it should have all just With the finger just you know kind of changed out that way, but um a lot of times we don't see that that it takes Going back into the world and it takes us being washed and cleansed by the word So that we can come out spotless and blameless. Yeah, so that that was right Um, I think there are two questions by louis and anita. You've raised your hand We are on for a break. So let's meet after a break and we'll start with louis question and then anita's question So on my clock, it shows 10 53. So we will be back in 10 minutes, which is 11 3 So see you soon with a cup of coffee


Hi and welcome to the session. Let us discuss the following question. Question says, find the general solution for each of the following differential equations. Given differential equation is, sec square x tan y dx plus sec square y tan x dy is equal to 0. Let us now start with the solution. Now given differential equation is, sec square x tan y dx plus sec square y tan x dy is equal to 0. Now subtracting this term from both sides of this differential equation, we get sec square x tan y dx is equal to minus sec square y tan x dy. Now let us name this equation as equation 1. Now separating variables in equation 1, we get sec square x upon tan x dx is equal to minus sec square y upon tan y dy. Now multiplying both the sides of this equation y minus 1, we get sec square y upon tan y dy is equal to minus sec square x upon tan x dx. Now integrating both the sides of this equation, we get integral of sec square y upon tan y with respect to y is equal to negative of integral sec square x dx upon tan x. Now let us name this expression as 2. Now first of all let us find out this integral that is integral of sec square y dy upon tan y. Now we know derivative of tan y is sec square y. So we will solve this integral by substitution method. Now we can write put tan y is equal to t. Now differentiating both the sides with respect to y, we get sec square y is equal to dt upon dy. Now this further implies sec square y dy is equal to dt. Now we can write this given integral is equal to integral of dt upon t. Substituting dt for sec square y dy and t for tan y in this integral, we get this integral is equal to integral of dt upon t. Now using this formula of integration, we can write this integral is equal to log of t plus log c1. Here log c1 represents constant of integration. Now we will substitute tan y for t here and we get log of tan y plus log of c1. So we get integral of sec square y dy upon tan y is equal to log of tan y plus log of c1. Similarly integral of sec square x dx upon tan x is equal to log of tan x plus log of c2. Clearly we can see these two integrals are exactly same except this y has been replaced by x in this integral. Now let us name this expression as 3 and this expression as 4. Now we will substitute values of these two integrals from expression 3 and 4 in expression 2. We know this is the expression 2. Now we can write substituting 3 and 4 into we get log of tan y plus log of c1 is equal to minus log of tan x minus log c2. Now this further implies log of tan y plus log of tan x is equal to minus log c2 minus log c1. Now substituting log c for minus log c2 minus log c1 we get log of tan y plus log of tan x is equal to log c. Now applying this law of logarithms in left hand side of this expression we get log of tan y multiplied by tan x is equal to log c. Now applying this law of logarithms on both sides of this expression we get tan y multiplied by tan x is equal to c. Now the required solution of given differential equation is tan x multiplied by tan y is equal to c. This is our required answer. This completes the session. Hope you understood the solution. Take care and keep smiling.


Item number SCP-619, Object Class, Safe Impetus. Special Containment Procedures. SCP-619 is currently housed in Storage Locker 15A2 at Site 21. Currency retrieved from SCP-619 is to be kept in Storage Locker 15A3. Testing on SCP-619 has been suspended. SCP-619's right pocket has been stapled shut. Should testing on SCP-619 be reinstated, access archived documents 619T for testing procedures. Description. SCP-619 is a pair of faded Levi brand stonewashed jeans manufactured in 1994 with several stains and tears through apparent use. The item shows no unusual physical properties. However, it does not correspond to any style of jeans produced by Levi Strauss and Co. Whenever a person puts their hand into SCP-619's right pocket, the pocket will contain two US $1 bills and between two and five US dimes. Turning the pocket inside out, or removing it from SCP-619, negates its anomalous properties. Damage to SCP-619 may be repaired with conventional materials without altering its anomalous properties. All pieces of currency retrieved this way have been marked as being printed or minted between the years 1969 and 2018 and show varying amounts of wear and tear. For bills printed before the present day, serial numbers have been matched with those of bills that should have been circulated. Due to the frequency with which currency is lost or ignored, the source of currency retrieved from SCP-619 is unknown. In approximately 4% of all trials in which currency is removed from SCP-619, an activated die pack will be tied to one of the bills with twine. The explosion, which produces temperatures in excess of 400 degrees Celsius and releases disperse red 9 die, may burn the subject and has caused damage to SCP-619 on several occasions. In an additional 6% of all trials, a lit match will be present. The manufacture of both the die packs and matches varies. After the first two weeks of testing of SCP-619, in which 407 trials were run, 53% of all retrieved bills had the word stop, please, why, or no, could be either no or on, written across their surface. Analysis has shown the words to be written in optically variable ink. The size and handwriting of the letters is suggestive of very limited expertise. On trial 588, a single $20 bill was retrieved. In contrast to previous bills on which writing was found, the writing on this bill was small and legible and spanned multiple sentences. It is reprinted here in its entirety. We surrender. You've taken the whole village, and now people from other cracks and other couches are pulled out. Whole families. If it's revenge for the die packs and matches, you have to understand that we don't have other ways of stopping you. We don't like hurting you, but we're scared, and it's all we have. We gave them to as many as we could in case you tried to have us spent. Just tell us what you want, and we'll give it to you. Do you want humans? We can get you three whole heads. We could even pull together all the fingers and toes left over, or open up the graves if you want. Non-sequential unrelated DNA. No questions. Just send a $20 bill and talk to our other $20 bill and we can make it work. I don't know if you care at all, but all we want is for you to... Another eight trials reveal the absence of any further writing. Special containment procedures have been revised. Testing on SCP-619 is suspended. Lesson complete. If you missed the previous orientation, go watch SCP-618, Spider on the Wall, right now. Or for the complete course, watch this playlist.

For more videos on people's struggles, please subscribe to our YouTube channel. Hello and welcome to People's Dispatch and our new show Dispatches from the Congo where we're going to be talking about on a bi-weekly basis the key issues that are happening in the country, its impact both on the region and globally, as well as the kind of struggles, the social movements and the aspirations of the youth in this very significant country in Africa. Thank you so much for joining us. Thank you. And I want to start out with a very important issue which is on all of our minds these days. The Monday that is the 17th of January is the 60th anniversary of the assassination of Patrick Lumumba. January 17th marks the 60th anniversary of the brutal assassination of Patrice Lumumba, the iconic leader of the Congo's struggle for independence and the country's first prime minister. Lumumba was and remains a hero throughout the world for his role in the anti-colonial struggle, his belief and work in pan-Africanism and his vision of a decolonized state. Lumumba's beliefs, his policies and his very existence were a threat to the imperial powers. Just months after he had assumed office, the CIA, Belgium and their allies in the country masterminded the operation that led to his brutal murder. He was 35 years old. They hoped to silence him but Lumumba has lived on in the hearts and minds of the people across the world and most importantly in their struggles. Today we try to understand what makes Lumumba such an icon, what made him so dangerous to imperialist powers and how his legacy endures to this day in the Congo and the struggles of the people there. So could you maybe start off by talking a bit about how his legacy is viewed today in the Congo, the kind of inspiration he provides, how he is seen especially by the youth and progressive movements today. But Chris Lumumba was the first elected, democratically elected, prime minister of the Democratic Republic of Congo. He comes from a long history of resistance, not just from him as a I would say an activist or a militant, but the struggle of Congolese to determine the affairs since the 1400. The 1400 we had the Portuguese come, later we had the King Lopo come in the 1800 during the curving up of the African continent and Congolese have always resisted. So he symbolized the spirit of resistance that Congolese have embodied for over 400 years. But Patrice Lumumba also represents what is the possibility of what Pan-Africanism can do on the African continent. As we discussed even his work and him becoming prime minister of the DRC, we have to know that this did not happen in Nesilo and it happened with the support of all the Africans from Chad, from Cameroon, from Ghana and from Central African Republic. So all these Africans fought to see a free and liberated Congo. Now that he's dead, brutally killed with the help of the CIA in Belgium, Belgium and of course a few Congolese Sacrafans, we can say that his ideas have not been killed. So they killed Patrice Lumumba physically but they could not kill his ideas and his ideas were very simple. He wanted the Congo to be controlled by the Congolese. He wanted the resources of the Congo to benefit the Congolese people. And because of that idea of control of the land and resources and produce, exploiting those resources for the benefit of the masses, he was brutally assassinated. And the Congolese have not stopped the struggle. Lately in the 2015, we had the Telema uprising in the DRC where Congolese youth took upon themselves to challenge the status quo and their spirit is still very vibrant. But I will be remiss not to mention, even though the spirit is vibrant, we cannot forget that we still have a few reactionaries in the DRC who want to efface. I mean, I'm saying efface. We want to erase the history, the legacy of Patrice Lumumba. But it is hard to do because Lumumba is not just in history books now. Lumumba is in our culture, in our songs, that is going to be very hard to erase his legacy of what he stood for because he's not part of the public consciousness that we as Congolese must fight for the liberation of our land. In September 2020, Belgium announced that they would finally return his mortal remains, a tooth. This followed a major campaign by his daughter, Julianna, and from those fighting for justice around the world. His remains will finally be buried this year. But this does not mark an end to the story. Instead, it throws up many questions on the culpability of colonial powers and the impact of their crimes over the decades. When we talk even about the remains of Patrice Lumumba coming back to the DRC, it's important to look at the historical trajectory of how we got there. The remains coming back to the DRC from Belgium, not in the DRC. So one way to ask, how did he end up there? But we have to look at the struggle of the Congolese from the 40s to the 60s. During that process, young Congolese stopped mobilizing and organizing to end colonialism, particularly Belgian colonialism. And there were a few young Congolese who were impactful. The ones that I'm going to speak about are Patrice Lumumba, Josephine Galula, and Gaston Diomi. These were the three young Congolese who were invited at the All-African People's Conference that took place in Accra, supported by Rasmak Cohn, who apparently bought their flights for them to come to Accra. But as they came, they saw a group of young Africans determined to transform the continent. These young people said, we are being colonized on our land where we have our resources and we don't control them. And if we want to transform our lives, we must regain control of this land. And during that time, in Accra, deals and collections and agreements were made among these young people, stating that each one of us are going back to our home countries and we are going to mobilize for independence now, not tomorrow, not few decades from now, that we needed independence so that we could regain control of our land and resources. As Patrice Lumumba went back to the DRC, he didn't go back alone. So that's why I always insist the independence of the Congo wasn't a Congolese affair. It was a Pan-African affair.  And in May of 1960, they shocked the world. Congolese, when they were given the space to choose their own leader, they chose a leader who embodied Pan-Africanism. They chose Patrice Lumumba. As he won the election of May 1960, right before the Independence Day of June 30th, Western nations started getting worried. And the worry of the Western powers, particularly Belgium and the United States, was who's going to take control of Congo's economy, who's going to take control of Congo's resources. So they were quick to give Congolese the political independence, but they refused to give Congolese control of their mineral resources, particularly Dwight Eisenhower, who needed Congo's uranium and Congo's cobalt back then during the so-called Cold War. So in July of 1960, right after the declaration of independence in the ERC, can you imagine, the Congo became independent on June 30th 1960, Patrice Lumumba gave one of the most impressive and fantastic speech, Independence Day speech written by André Bois, and that's something people do not know. She actually wrote that speech as he read the speech about why it was important to want for us to remember those who fought before, and that what we fought for did not come as a gift. That we fought with blood and sweat and we gained independence, and we are determined to continue to fight for a new Congo that will transform Africa. And from that speech on June 30th, a few weeks later, the United States president Dwight Eisenhower in the National Security Council meeting stated that Patrice Lumumba should be eliminated. This is in the church committee, the records that this order came from Dwight Eisenhower in July already. And the reason, as I mentioned a moment ago, was he did not want a young 35-year-old Congolese to have control of the land the size of Western Europe, border by land African countries with so much wealth, some of them being strategic minerals that the United States wanted. So the plot to overthrow him happened a few weeks after he became the prime minister of the ERC. So within weeks of Patrice Lumumba becoming the prime minister, he was deposed. Within months, he was assassinated with the help of Belgium, the United States, and a few Congolese sacophants. But his killing is really important to know. And Ludo Dwight says the best in his book, The Assassination of Lumumba. In his book, the introduction of the book is fascinating. He explains saying that when he started writing the book, he was surprised of how much information existed around the killing of Patrice Lumumba. But he was surprised that academics, intellectuals, and others did not want to dig into the information. And he concluded that the assassination of Lumumba was not just the physical assassination of Patrice Lumumba in the ERC where the Congolese will now have a leader. What they did to his body was literally to make sure that Lumumba is erased from the collective memory of Africans. So how did they kill him? They arrested, they tortured him with two of his comrades who were part of the government, Polo and Okito, tortured the three of them, beat them completely to death, put them into firing squad, and buried them. After burying him, they knew that wherever Lumumba was buried for years and decades to come, he may become a place of pilgrimage for Congolese or for those who believe in the ideas of Patrice Lumumba. So they went back to where he was buried, took his body out, chapped it off into pieces, put it into acid, and buried him completely so that his remains will not be found anywhere. But the most bizarre thing that took place around this year, it was done by two Belgian mercenaries. One of them in the early 2000s, participating in a documentary where he actually bragged about the killing of Patrice Lumumba, where he explained what they did to his body, and during the interview he said that Congolese sometimes they feel that Lumumba may resurrect one day. There are even people who believe he will return. Now I'll have to come back with two front teeth missing. Then he goes into his pocket, takes out a pouch, opens the pouch, and pulls a tooth out of the pouch and shows it to the camera, stating, that's Lumumba's tooth. Can you imagine the pain, eye, and millions of Congolese feel to know that there was a Belgian mercenary who was walking around Belgium with Lumumba's tooth and actually bragging about the killing and showing it on camera. But when he did that, there was uprising in Belgium. Riots, people were frustrated and saying, how can this be possible? So a few weeks later, the gentleman said, of course I'm saying it for the second I interviewed that he's a gentleman, but the individual says that he threw the tooth away. He did not have it in his possession anymore. He passed away, he died. Then a few decades ago, his daughter does an interview also in Belgium, where she states that her father gave her the tooth. Riots protest happened again, and then she says that she threw it away. Then surprisingly this year, after the official request of the Lumumba family by Juliana Lumumba, the daughter of Patrice Lumumba, she made an official request to the Belgian government that she wants the remains of her father to be returned to the Congo. The Ministry of Justice officially, the Belgian government responded to the request stating that they have his remains and they will return the remains of Patrice Lumumba. Can you imagine for 60 years, Belgium had Lumumba's tooth, Lumumba's remains, and they want to tell us that Congolese killed Patrice Lumumba. What is this tooth doing in Belgium? So that very small explanation clearly shows that there was an international attempt to not just kill Lumumba, but to stop the Pan-African movement, which was successful, again in 1960, 12 African nations became independent, and this wave was going through the African continent. So they wanted to make sure that they want to make an example out of Patrice Lumumba, so that anyone who wants to rise up, they will say, look at what happened to Patrice Lumumba, do you want that to happen to you? But what they didn't realize is what Patrice Lumumba was fighting, was fighting for him as an individual. There is a spirit of resistance in the DRC, in the Congolese people, to want to have a say in the decision-making process of our country, that no matter who's assassinated, the Rosici manga, the young Congolese who have passed away in the past decade, the Thérèse Capangala, she also passed away in the past protests around Kabila being in power, the former president of the DRC. The spirit of resistance in the DRC is so entrenched in the people that it cannot go away. That's why I always say Patrice Lumumba is an ideal. That ideal is simple. We must take control of our land, we must take control of our resources, we must exploit those resources for the benefit of the Congolese people, not the multinationals in Paris, London, and Washington. As Patrice Lumumba said, Africa will write its own history. It won't be the history written in Paris, Washington or London. It will be the history written by Africans themselves, and that history will be of glory. And that's what the people of the Congo till today are taking from what happened to Patrice Lumumba and what we can do today to transform the Congo.


The Kaduna Police Command has re-arrested a suspected escapee from Kuji Prison. The Command Spokesperson Mohamed Jalige said that the suspect identified as Shuaibu was caught by the police operators at a location in Kaduna State while on transit to Kano. So you get notified about fresh news updates.


All right, let's take a look at this here. This is going to be shot one only With a slight hint of the other one right there. All right Cool, I think this is definitely better Look at this here. All right, so I think what's definitely working a lot better are The dinosaurs arcs. They're a bit flat still in some areas So I'd watch out if you would track doesn't matter any point here. I'm gonna track this area Here whoops should be lower Then here and then here and then once it gets to there you can see the flattening of It's More or less how I'm drawing this Right through there. You can feel how it just suddenly flattens out. You're starting your arc and then continue But it's really much better But I still has a bit of a Flat feel there. So there are a couple things that I would look at Once you get into something like this got to be careful that there seems to be a translate down There's a very distinct move down on that neck That doesn't seem it just seems very disconnected from the rest of the body and doesn't quite affect the rest of it and the same with The rotation up on the head. I would try to Maybe you can't go higher with the chest Maybe you can just do kind of a half half meaning that I went once you're here even through here as the heck goes up I see some movement here, but imagine that Maybe you can curve that Chest down even more. Maybe that's something where then you get a bit more of a curvature here It might feel too round, but in general I'm saying that if this is curved down more So you rotate the chest down more and then through here rotate down up a bit more and then by now You rotate up.  Sorry That's really distracting me now for this past couple minutes there. I was snuggling with my dog Face in his face, but anyway, there's just a lot of separate movement I feel still in that head that doesn't quite affect the rest of the body and Especially through there was a very distinct forward pull downwards translate there Even through here, I can see that there is movement going on to the right here. There's such a distinct Arc in a forceful arc this way. I don't feel that speed and that influence through this section That makes sense Same thing here. It might just be I don't know if it's a controller that you have that effect It's kind of that that middle section of the neck But same thing here. There's something you can see in this shape as if it was broken through here Kind of translates down right through there. You can see that that line there goes down and then up here Must be a middle controller because I see also some Left and right that doesn't feel quite tied into this And that it's as if you have from the top view, you know, the head would be here and the chest Whatever would be here and then that neck goes out this way and then something goes out this way where you got that little kink there switch out Now in terms of movement I think your arms are better. I still feel like I would be careful fanning out too far I'm more in favor of something that's that's in even here you could rotate that What's it called the claw the hands, you know the That section there, so it's a bit more. Let me find something if it's a bit more like this Finding a frame that I can reference To me it's more like what this arm is doing not that you have to go full on mr. Burns Uh, you know with his hands like that, but I feel like there's something a bit more Creatory and raptor like and no raptor, but you know dinosaur like where it's like that versus out like this Very tricky once you get too far out with the with the claws on the hands out that it's a bit more It's a bit more inward and speaking of which if you look at I'm gonna go back a bit here if you look at The hands definitely better. It doesn't feel as jerky, but it has a slight spliny soft feel to it So it's I wouldn't say split the difference because you don't want pops in it But you have to look at elements where the it's not just nice arcs and moving like this But it has moments of of I see jerkiness, but without without pops where it's kind of That and it follows in an I imagine it goes when the hands are like this and the head goes up into this it would just be When it eats on the ground It has just moments of twitches and muscles and just some jerkiness so that you can have a little bit of What I would call dirt in the arcs Not again that it has to be super poppy But like sometimes you have your arms in a little bit of a jerk in there and a jerk in there But it's not again. It's not like a one frame pop, but there's some elements where it will feel just less Soft like through here that arc. Let's go backwards that big head move here like here I think having that open up Can work Like this here how that Contracts there it gets together stuff like that is great But then you have something like this and this is kind of the main thing That illustrates my point when you have the head going down and I look at those arms. Oh, they're very Tied and almost twin there They're both kind of doing the same thing and it's all very even in timing Which kind of takes away because you also want to look at in terms of what kind of movement You want to put in there that make that creature look threatening. It's eating and it's a predator And it's Harsher twitches in there And I know that we're looking here. So technically it goes It goes down and then Audience's eye goes there then we're looking there and I think that keep alive. It's good in terms of Um, not distracting from this the audience. I don't feel like the audience will be distracted in terms of where I'm supposed to look at But once you get to there This feels more like it's just kind of sniffing and rubbing its nose And if there's anything you can do where it still has that that feel of it's that it was I'm biting those moments of Biting and something cracks just again, it's a very fine line between pops But you want to bring in a bit more harshness and the feeling of the jaw biting on through muscles And then tearing and some pulling and maybe through a bone and bam cracking that bone Again all in a minimal way that doesn't distract from this, of course That's what I would try there I do like that that hip move out there boring right there. I think that's kind of cool It's cool. If you do this, right? If you have like a step here and in that stomach Area warrant comes out. I would just pull the knee over this way the knee controller So that the upper thigh moves out as well just to give the illusion of Here from here on ish You got this body mass pushing against this body mass So when this pushes that that part of the leg goes out this way because this is pushing because it will feel a bit more connected And have less of that. See if I'm looking at this area compared to this It doesn't react at all. It's just kind of stiff and you want some reaction to What the body is doing in the stomach area and it will probably help you also to kind of block out That's my chair. That's an old chair. I gotta get a new chair You want to potentially I know what you want to do and again, nothing has to be super detailed But you want to show the flapping and when it comes in to get a better idea and just in case it kind of Might change some of your your acting dino acting, you know Are you saying potentially like the whole piece goes in the mouth here? But maybe if you want to find some detail during this it doesn't feel like it's just kind of gradually going down with no business You can always have the thing flop over All right through here it goes Flops in and then has just a piece coming out here And then through there you can have a little bit of an arc that goes zoop like that And during that moment when the head goes back over this way in a bit of a sharper moment The jaw would open a little bit and it's that last sucking in of that piece Just a little tongue thing just kind of bring that piece in and then it goes back into eating I do like this a lot though How I just kind of the snout moves that forward opens up and then it moves that piece here. I think that stuff is super cool And then the other one Let me pause this one.  I don't think it's that bad. It definitely has a bit of a smooth this and this This area I think to me what you can do is it seems like you know in your graph It has a very smooth curvature to it, but I would try through I don't mind this one So a couple things here on that first one when that shoulder goes up I don't see anything in the head So you're gonna see a little bit of a like the smoothness A couple things you can do on that. Bam one of the steps You will have the head react to that shoulder coming up there But you can have a bit of a sharper dip in the head for some overlap there and some impact That's going to give you some sharpness Then you're going to have these guys here move and Dip a bit that gives you also a bit some sharpness But then on the body and shoulder This and this It's a bit better through here because you have a bit of a pause What's going to say is that through there What you want to do is as this hands and that forearm goes down Right through here I'm looking at this and it's very soft So in your graph editor, it feels like if that shoulder goes up it feels like this and you want your shoulder Um to go up where it's It has a slight feel of this Where it's not flat and it's not linear, but it's kind of 45 degree broken tangent so that you Bam see you're you're already going up a bit too much So I will probably also go a bit less but you can cheat The surface here must bring the arm down But basically what's going on through here. So this is such a dip that side of the body and then the arm is So high here Feels like this is the lowest you want to go Through here And this is a bit too low It's like there's that Breakage here. So for me, maybe here ish around here and then when that When the the foot goes down and it takes a step here That impact imagine there's no anticipation of this area going up. It's almost flat So that bam on that impact you would have your curve That it's kind of broken. So again, not that your curve needs to look like this It's a list fully linear tangent there, but you have a bit of a slowdown and a bit of a Ease out of that. So again, it's not flat and not a linear but almost 45 So that you feel the the change of direction because that arm goes down and it's going to Push up that shoulder, but it's not a full-on linear So it doesn't pop and take the the sense of weight out But it's a definite change of direction because what I'm putting my arm down And now that arm on impact is going to shoot up that shoulder So it's just not super spliny but not super linear Bam and once you have that it's going to have all that weight on here But that's always the trick when you have So when it goes down, it's a bit linear But then you don't want to go all the way up into the highest point You want to go pretty high and then soften it You also don't want to go high and then stop it. So it's basically that arm Puts, you know, it takes a step that shoots the shoulder up and it's kind of that Bam that initial weight on it and that's going to be the major shoot up there But then it's not done because then you're going to put your weight over it And that's going to put the extra, you know Lasting weight on it and that's going to bring up the shoulder just a bit more But then it's going to rest on there until you change direction So once you're here, I would try to hold this position a bit longer Let's go back here What what what it just seems like you want to And maybe by getting there a bit sooner you can hold two three frames Yeah, you might argue it's already there. You have a hold there It just feels very It just feels very soft like that versus Just a much sharper change of direction and and longer holds on on each side It's even through here when you shoot up here, which is cool, then you already slowly Come down so watch out right at the end Right there. It doesn't do a burn. I'm stepping and then you can have You imagine gorillas where they have that knuckle down Fully extended arm and they kind of lock that arm. You can still have left and right movement for balance, right? So if I have my arms down, you can still have that left and right But the whole shoulder that section wouldn't come down in a spliny way And I think that's the softness and I think if you look at the whole thing It gives you that doing doing doing that's I'm assuming that's the bounciness that you're feeling Because it doesn't have really a harsh resting point if that makes sense. I hope that makes sense But that's it That's what I would have to say I would get into that and that's going to help the feeling of the shot a lot more And actually one last thing as I'm scrubbing Um, I don't see any detail. It's kind of hitting but watch out that leg It feels like it's a big move this way while the chest goes this way Right there. This seems a bit Broken Where it feels like the head is here and then you have you know the chest here But then it feels like the hip is here with the leg So it just that's kind of how it feels like it's kind of broken there as opposed to the head And then you would have so it's hold on So maybe that's better than my ramblings. It feels like this Is the spine versus something like that where you take your chest and you rotate it over Then you have your your spine here. This is a nicer line of action Through there. This feels broken through there. I don't know you can check that's in your scene On top of you kind of watch out for that That's it. All right, um as always any questions. Let me know. Let me know in the email But that is it. Thank you All right, there's an email you can sign up you can start whenever you want you can submit whatever you want You get 16 submissions either way a like and subscribe would be awesome. All right. Thank you


When you come into the class, it is going to be different from a lecture class. We teach the first-year class in what we call active learning. So there will be homework that you will need to do, and some of the homework is to watch videos, just kind of like what you're watching right now. And to come to class prepared, when you come to class, we get you to work on homework problems, actually in class. We do that so that we can be there to answer questions. The topics that we work on in the first year, I mentioned the career exploration, what engineering major, we also will introduce you to engineering design and have some projects, and we will introduce you to computing concepts. So we have a number of resources in the classroom. We have faculty like myself, we have a graduate teaching assistant, and we have four peer teachers. These peer teachers are either juniors or sophomores or seniors who have already taken this class, so they know the course material and they are there to help. Their job is to be there to answer questions. So you can ask them specific questions or more general questions about the course and how to be effective.
