Good morning, everybody. Sorry for the bugs on the windshield. It's a good sign. It means summer's here or it's on the way. Spring is here We're here in St. Cloud, Minnesota. This is the cheapest diesel fuel I can find $3.64 US per US gallon. It's about $1.30 Canadian per liter with the conversions of today I'm gonna go in here grab some fuel fill her on up all the way up. I'm at about a quarter tanks right now So I'm expecting to buy about 500 liters. I Gotta make this quick because I got to get to my delivery No, no, no, no Karen. I need to buy some cheap juice first This truck stop is not my favorite to pull into Though they do usually have clean showers available unlike my not and Coffee is always available here. It's just the parking situation here isn't it's terrible But I guess you know it's hard to find perfection There's always something right? There's always something they also I don't think they sell DEF at the pumps here. No, they have to Let's see why they got DEF here Whatever Ignore that. What do I know? Let's grab some juice. Let's get out of here I'm gonna save myself almost a hundred bucks That fuel in here Okay, the numbers are in I actually bought 609 liters not 500 a little more than I thought 161 gallons US gallons Since I picked this up in Saskatchewan this whole trip I've filled up partially until now so this whole trip together I've burned 38.49 liters per hundred kilometers or 6.11 miles per US gallon Costed me about 60 cents per kilometer to drive this truck And this fuel up cost me seven hundred and ninety five dollars Canadian or five hundred and eighty five dollars US dollars Remember when it used to cost me like twelve thirteen hundred dollars to fill up a few months ago The price coming down to a dollar thirty per liter now or three sixty three per US gallon Dropped my fuel purchase now from 9 to 12 like four four five hundred dollars just one fill up. That's much cheaper. That's how much the fuel prices affect My business and the groceries on your shelf and everything else you have that comes on a truck That's that's how it affects it so quickly and that's why all the prices shoot up now that fuel prices are coming down Are we gonna see all the prices of everything come down to? I don't know I'm not in charge of that I'm not in charge of that It is what it is Let's I'm gonna get this lumber off and then I can go home Let's get back out there Okay, so the price here with all the conversions and everything was a dollar thirty Canadian per liter The fuel price up in Manitoba just over the border in St. Agath and also a flying J was a dollar sixty six So that's thirty six cents per liter cheaper down here with all the conversions said and done I bought 609 liters That means by fueling here. I Spent two hundred and nineteen dollars less Then I would have how I fueled Back home That's two hundred and nineteen dollars. I can go into my savings account or let's be honest That's two hundred and nineteen dollars. I'll go towards new tires very soon. Why is this beamer parked over here? Oh, it's his passenger vehicle parking only. Oh because they're allowed to that's why I see that's new That's new. Okay No problem there. Mr. Beamer. You're good. My bad You shouldn't judge people's wash I didn't know that's a new thing. I haven't seen those signs there before Used to park trucks up and down all the time Well, we got traffic coming from the left. We got action. It is so nice outside. It's twenty six degrees Celsius What is twenty six degrees Celsius in Fahrenheit? Twenty six degrees Celsius is equivalent to seventy eight point eight degrees Fahrenheit. That's a beautiful day That is my perfect temperature right there If I could pick one perfect temperature that I would want every single day Two hours ago, but thankfully still made it well So we're getting unloaded. I'm waiting to get unloaded. I got all my straps off now I just got to wait for them to come off my trailer sign the paperwork And I'm gonna head home It's a little bit of a longer dead head to get home from here and probably about eight hours driving 500 miles. That was my choice I want to be home for Mother's Day and this was the best option that I had I was given either the option of going home with this load and then being home Thursday Friday Saturday Friday Saturday Sunday three days, so that I'm home from Mother's Day or I could deliver this and come home empty I figured this way might be more profitable We'll see missing three days of potential revenue and In exchange or the other option would be one day of no revenue dead heading It's hard to tell sometimes right with fuel prices and everything, but this is what I chose anyways This is my choice So as soon as we're done here and start heading home I'm not gonna make it home tonight yet. There's no way It's three three thirty here now Eight hours. I'd be home like middle of the night We'll see I'll probably sleep in the truck get a good sleep and then get to the house early in the morning and I'll take over baby duty and Brit can sleep in let her sleep through the morning catch up a little bit and We'll go from there That's the plan right now. Anyways, we'll see we'll see if the plan changes or not I'll see you in a few minutes left on my clock when I parked It's quite empty here. Actually, I thought it would be a little bit Fuller. I don't know if you can hear it. There's an alarm going off over there.  It's not too loud. I shouldn't be able to hear inside of my truck. I definitely wouldn't be able to have my I guess I could just put your plugs in too. I mean I Can sleep. I know I talk often about having a quiet night I go out of my way to find the most quiet spot, but I can still sleep if there's noise. It's not like I can't get sleep It's just if I have the option. Why not find a quieter spot? Why would I park beside a reefer trailer if I can go and park in a Parking spot that's quieter without one right beside me, right? But if I have to park beside him Doesn't bother me really the engine fan kicking on and off That's my least favorite neighbor to have when they have those loud that my truck has a loud engine fan I know how loud it is. So if I do have to idle it through a night I've said this before like in really cold parts of winter or whatever I click my engine fan to on so it stays on all night So at least then it's a steady sound and not constantly kicking on and off and on and off not enough Because that gets very annoying, especially if you're at high idle and you want to have your truck at high idle if you're parked You never want to leave your truck idling at low idle Always bring it up to about a thousand rpm If you leave it at low idle the oil from the bottom of your oil pan isn't properly getting up to the top of your motor to Lubricate the top of your motor need to get that idle up to protect your engine Anyways, that makes the engine fan kick on and makes it really loud and annoying, right? Well, if I have to park beside someone who's a little noisy, I do whatever and if it's really that bad I can put earplugs in I risk not hearing my alarm in the morning though Usually what I do that wake up halfway through the night and I take them out I've never slept through an alarm because of your plugs But I don't wear them that often either only when I have to Can you see can you guys hear that alarm going off back there? It's very faint I don't even know if this microphone is gonna pick it up or not It's like a car alarm like Wonder if someone tried to break into that business next door and the alarm's going off So we're gonna have cops all over here So fuel price here at Loves and Drayton is $3.98 per US gallon And that equals a dollar forty four Canadian per liter after all conversions. I topped off my tanks here again That's because it's still cheaper than what it is just over the border in Canada And I don't know which direction I'm gonna be heading next week Figure I'll just top them up now and call it a night All blues been doing good Really good She's getting some special attention next weekend though. I in in one week getting polished and head to toe Might even do the headache rack to the headache rack was part of the original plan And I still want to get it done But I'm gonna get my polisher guy to take a look at it and see how much work It's gonna be for him and what he wants to charge for it because it's So what we are getting done and we're getting done the wheels I'll do it to wheels the tanks the steps the front grille and stacks. I believe I Told him anything I can shine I want I want to shine and I want to take a look at this see this is This this could be polished to a mirror finish You can see yourself in there like a mirror and I want to get that done But I think he wants those lights taken out and those lights are riveted in for some reason Not screwed in so I want to replace them anyway So I might just wait till later in the year and polish this off in summertime Or maybe even next year and just like give it a good cleaning now But I want to replace all those lights up there with Lights that match the back here a clear lens So all of these match now. We'll see One thing at a time one thing at a time There's a lot of things at home that need my attention and need the attention of our bank account as well And that always comes first. So you got to make sure that's all taken care of So of course, I'm sad. I couldn't make it home today. The traffic in Minneapolis really held me up a lot That was bad. I'm filming this on a Friday. It's one of the first really warm Fridays of the season So everybody and their dog had their boats out and we're pulling them through I told you that before, right? Everybody's going to the lake. They're going camping. They're going to their cottage Everybody who has any place outside the city was on the highway Just plugged everything up from Minneapolis all the way past Clearwater almost to Sock Center. It was it was it was nuts So that really slowed me down and now I couldn't make it back home tonight But I would have been back home late anyways I just I could have stopped here and then gotten home earlier tomorrow Now I'm gonna get home Midday late morning to midday But at least I'm getting home right at least I'm getting home and I'll be home for mother's day So you're watching this after mother's day already. Hope you all had a great mother's day I hope you made it special for the for the mothers in your life If you are a mother happy bladed mother's day to you It's a big one for us this year.

Leave me a comment down below Let me know what you're thinking. Let me know where you're from whatever you want to say down there It helps me out a lot. I'll see you tomorrow


To understand market demand, one should have understanding about individual demand. As far as demand by individual is concerned, it is willingness and ability to buy against different prices. In this diagram, we are reporting the demand by apples by an individual by taking quantity of apples on horizontal axis and price on vertical axis. And by looking at the curve, we can see there is a negative association between price and quantity of apples. And when we make discussion about the market demand, it is demand by all the individuals in a particular market. To keep things simple, we start by making an assumption, in that market there are only two individuals. One individual is Ahmed and other one is Zainab. If we look at the demand by Ahmed in the first part of the diagram, we can see again there is a negative association between price and quantity demand of apples. But for Ahmed, if price is 600 rupees, Ahmed is not willing to buy any unit of apples. But when we look at the demand of apples by Zainab, we can observe that if price is equal to 600 rupees, then Zainab is able to buy two units of apples. So by aggregating demand by Ahmed and Zainab, if price is equal to 600, we can report market demand. For example, in this particular case, if price is equal to 600, then demand in the market is equal to 2kg of apples by all the individuals in that particular market. And if there is a decrease in price of apples, we can see there is increase in demand by both Ahmed and Zainab. And if price becomes 100, then total demand in the market is equal to 14kg of apples. So by aggregating demand by Zainab and Ahmed, we can report market demand and market demand in fact is demand by all the individuals in a particular market. Whenever we make discussion about change in market demand, there are two types of the changes. We call one change as change in quantity demand and other one as change in demand. When we say change in quantity demand, it is because of change in price of that particular commodity. If price of commodity increases, then there is a decrease in quantity demand. And if price, if there is increase in price of the commodity, there is decrease in quantity demand of apples. And this movement along the demand curve is called as change in quantity demand. But it might be possible there is change in factors other than price in a particular market. When there is change in factors other than price, again there is change in demand. But this change in demand is called as this change in quantity demand is called as change in demand. So change in demand might be it might be possible there is increase in demand or there is decrease in demand. When we say demand curve shifts rightward, in fact it indicates an increase in demand. And if demand curve shifts leftward, the whole demand curve shifts from one position to another position then it indicates a decrease in demand. So elaborate the concept of change in quantity demand and change in demand, we are using this particular association between quantity of apples and price. In this diagram, you can observe if price is equal to PA, then quantity demand of apples is equal to QA. And when price of the commodity decreases from PA to PB, there is increase in quantity demand of apples. So the movement along the demand curve from point A to point B is called as increase in quantity demand of apples. But it might be possible there is change in factors other than price. Because of that change in factors other than price, demand curve will shift from one position to another position. And this movement from D1 to D2 is because of factors other than price. And in this particular case, if price remain constant k price of commodity is still PA, but consumer is willing to have QB quantity of apples that we are denoting by point C in D2 curve, it indicates increase in demand for apples by individuals. So the movement from point A to B is called as change in quantity demand, while the movement from point A to point C is called as change in demand. As far as the shift in market demand is concerned, all those factors that results in shift in demand by individuals is also contributes towards the change in market demand. For example, if there is change in price of the substitutes, we can observe change in demand of the commodity. If price of complement changes in the market, again there is change in demand for the commodity. For example, if we assume milk and cereal are complement of each other, if price of cereal increases then it might be possible there is decrease in demand for milk. Because milk and cereal are complement to each other, so increase in price of one commodity leads decrease in quantity demand for other commodity. And it might be possible that there is change in income in the market, there is change in income by all the individuals in a particular market, may be because of taxation. And because of that imposition of the taxation, when there is decrease in income, when there is decrease in disposable income of the how income of the consumers, then it results in decrease in demand for that particular commodity. And this decrease in the we observe this positive association between income and demand when commodity under consideration is a normal commodity. If price if income increases demand will increase if commodity under consideration is a normal commodity, but if commodity under consideration is an inferior commodity, then in that case increase in income results in decrease in demand for that particular commodity. For example, it might be possible for few individuals, beef is an inferior commodity. If income of the household increases, then it might be possible there is decrease in demand of beef. As far as the interpretation of the market demand is concerned, it is very important for the firms. Basically, for the firm it is essential to have the knowledge about the properties of the market demand. When we say properties of the market demand, a firm should have information about the nature of the market in which they are selling their product, whether the market is a perfectly competitive market or market is an imperfectly competitive market. So the nature of the market has some influence about the decision making of the firms. And information about the presence of substitute or complement also play its role in the decision making by the firms. Similarly, when we say firm makes their production schedules based on the demand for their product in the market, when we say demand for their product in the market, it might be possible demand for a particular product in the market is elastic in nature or in elastic in nature. When we say demand for a product is elastic, it basically indicate that the small change in price brings about significant change in quantity demand. So firms are very much concerned about the nature of the elasticity of the commodity that they are selling in the market. And at the same time, market demand is very important for policy makers because this is the information that they use for the formulation of the policy, for the formulation of the policies about the products that are being sell in the market. For example, it might be possible if market if quantity under consideration is a necessity item, then policy makers will try to keep the prices of that particular commodity in the market relatively low as compared to other items in the market. So in this module, we are basically discussed about the demand by individuals, willingness and ability to buy by a particular individual. Then by aggregating demand by all the individuals in the market, we reported market demand and then we make a differentiation between change in quantity demand and change in demand. Thank you very much.


So let me show you what you're going to need. And as always, I'll make sure to leave the recipe in the description box. You're going to need some milk, heavy whipping cream, melted butter, sugar. You're going to need graham cracker crumbs divided, and you're going to need some marshmallows. Now mine melted a little bit in the car, but that's okay because I'm going to be melting them anyway. So let's get started. So we're going to start out by making our graham cracker crust. Now you all know, if you've been with our channel for a while, I am the queen of a good old store-bought graham cracker crust, but sometimes you just need homemade. And that is what I'm doing today. Of course, if you want to save time, definitely use a store-bought. I've been wrong with that, but I think you need a homemade crust in this case. So I have some graham cracker crumbs in the bowl. I just added some unsalted, melted butter, and then I'm just going to give this a good stir. You're just going to pour that graham cracker mixture into a 9-inch pie plate, and you're just going to press it on the bottom and up the sides of that pie pan. And now I'm just going to pop this into the fridge while I work on my pie filling. Okay, so I've added my marshmallows to a large pot, and now I'm just adding in some milk. So now I'm just going to let those marshmallows melt. And this is what my mixture looks like after about five minutes. So I'm going to let this cool and then move to the next step. Okay, my marshmallow mixture is still cooling, but I am going to whip up that heavy whipping cream. So I'm just pouring it into a large bowl, and I'm just going to use my hand mixer to whip it up. Okay, my heavy whipping cream is nice and stiff, and so now I am just going to pour that marshmallow mixture into that heavy whipping cream, or the whipped topping now I guess I should say. I'm just going to pour it in, and I'm just going to give it a good stir. Got everything all mixed up. Now I'm just going to pour that mixture into my pie crust, and now I'm just going to sprinkle some graham cracker crumbs right on top. And then I'm going to cover and refrigerate this for about four to five hours. Okay, so here is the pie. I let it chill in my refrigerator for about six hours, and you can see that it set up very nicely. And here is the slice on the plate. It is very good, nice and light, and not overly sweet. I hope you all enjoyed this video. If you did, please make sure to give us a thumbs up. And if you haven't subscribed to our channel, we'd love to have you. Thanks so much for watching, and we'll see you all next time.


Welcome back. This is UNFINISHED, the only place where we get to finish UNFINISHED matters. Follow me on all social media platforms that I am SK Gytonga. Onto our next question, which side household do you think people can engage into and an extra income? Let me know your thoughts. I think one is academic writing, as we've had. Academic writing, you have a lot of money for just writing articles. And like here in Kenya, most people are very intelligent. Like we've seen on the news in USA, people are getting their work done and paying Kenyans for as much as $400 per article, which is like $50K. And another thing is like selling commodities like clothes, makeup, things like that. Most of them usually bring very high profits. There are many, many, many side us, which someone can do. But I'd say probably the best could be those ones that have to do with technology, like sitting by a computer.  Like you can definitely, definitely get a good amount of money doing something that you love. And personally, the way things are getting digitised and everything, it's always beautiful. I have always told people, if you want to do something, like if you want a side hustle that will, will pay off, of course, always go for food and beverages. Because you don't have to come and go. Like these are things that you not need to come and go. I mean, different every now and then.  We can survive with that. But people will always need to do it, even if it's a single meal. So if, if someone wants to do a side hustle, they will do opts to do the kind of, I don't want to hook my eye. I mean, you can do anything provided you can do around maybe something that people consume. For a comrade, you need like pocket money. So, for me, it should take a wash and just whatever, whatever pays well I take. The one that I've seen is pretty well is thrift shops. But I'm really not sure. But I think, yeah, I believe it's the only one I know and online. But I'm not sure about that really. But I know thrift shop works well for people who are consistent and committed to it. I believe that's the only one I know. Baba show, that can be a side hustle. That is when as an employee I'm too happy. They don't deal with my job. So on weekends, the only after I can say acting. Acting do pay. I've involved with myself in some of them. So I think acting, or general, let's say talent. Talent can pay. You can do side hustle as a talent. Then there's this one, this other one that you have been, the career, the career part of it. My best is the youth. Their parents may demand, see the way we can make money right now. The world is changing. So for me, I prefer venturing into online business. Especially dropshipping and e-commerce. Those are well-paying businesses you can venture into. There's online writing, promo tasks, typing jobs. I know only in writing you do the homework for the people who are in America. You can do the homework. You type, you want to create a type, then you can go according to the number of pages you have typed. Primo tasks. I have tasks online that you can create. Now I'm talking about you. You can do AI, artificial intelligence. You do them and you get paid for the number of tasks you've done. This depends on the individual because my side hustle can't be a side hustle. It's easy to be a person. So it's a side hustle. I'm a person who loves to be a trick or something like that. So I guess too, in as much as a side hustle is coming, you want to have to have to be able to almost relate to your career, come and find a career. You want to have to be able to relate to your career. Because me, I'm a media student. I do online jobs related to my niche. So I think you can do it. I am a media student and I have smart phones. Literally all. So they can do online jobs. I just see complex. I just train. You can find other things even for now and you can start navigating it. You can also find online writing. You can do it. There are a lot of jobs. As far as the men's jobs are concerned. I'm very happy to be here. I'm very happy to be here because it's all smart. Do you get most of the people? I'm here at UVV. Now at this particular point, there are people who are in the bus. They don't know how to run. They don't know how to run. But they know how to run. They know how to run. They know how to run. They know how to run. They know how to run. They know how to run. They know how to run. They know how to run. It's a trade. It's a trade. When you are in the bus, you are in the bus. Bees, bees, bees, bees. I have a second route to upweave. To get to Beashara. The next one is about to enter Pweneoshi. You know the best side. It's about to be over. Basically at the moment, there is a lot of online writing. When I check it, I can get a filter reach within a span of a few days or weeks. But of course, it's already one, it's not easy. It's hard to work under pressure. But when you go to particularly Vijana, it's easy because online writing is the client. When you are in the bus, it's easy because it's easy. When you are in the bus, it's easy because it's fun. It's easy because it's relaxed. I don't know what it is, but I think it's a pyramid scheme. Generally, I don't know what it is. Of course, it's easy because it's easy. It's easy because it's easy. There is no way I can get a view of it. Generally, it makes sense. Then some time back, I saw it on the website that people liked V2. People liked it. I saw it, I saw it, I saw it, I saw it. They liked it. They liked it. They liked it. They liked it. They liked it, they liked it. You can write yourて you like, after post the comments, just use it. But actually, it's easy because it's fun, If you say So the only thing that I want to say is that I am profiting online, online writing. Because this is what I want to do. Online has unlimited opportunities for people who are looking for sign-ups. So many of them writing jobs. There are jobs for interpretation, jobs for translation. You can again set up as a consultant for so many things you can do online. Then others that you can do is opening a show. Again, that can take you to the online so that because you do not have a lot of time, you open a shop, you open something that is linked to your passions and then you pursue it during the odd hours after you have left your job. There are so many opportunities everywhere. You can pursue your passion, you can pursue your skills, you can pursue your talents, you can pursue whatever it is that is not within your working environment. For me, I wouldn't have any specific one, side hustle for anyone. It is as long as you understand whatever you are doing. As long as you have done good research on whatever you want to venture, then you can do anything. May it be online, may it be talent, may it be anything. If it's up to me at that base that you do something that you are interested in or something where your talent lies, if you are good at crocheting, you can engage in crocheting. If you are good at marketing, you can engage in some good marketing schemes and some income. Survey shows that the most rewarding side hassles are construction and agriculture, others being media and IT. But I highly advise if you have a talent then you should definitely go for it because you are getting paid to do something that you actually love and you're going to have fun at it. So onto our next question. Do you think it's easy or hard to start up a side hustle? Let me know what you think. It's a bit hard if I say so because first you need to identify like a niche or where there's a gap you need to fill in the market. And then you need to figure whether it's something you like doing. You know, it's not something you just hate doing, you do it just for the sake of it. It's something you love doing so you enjoy it more. And also like if it's a business that requires a bit of a capital, if you are a broke university student like me, you might need some capital to start. I think it depends on the side hustle itself. If you have the side hustle, for example, I don't know like washing cars. So for you to get all the money to get like the equipment and everything, it's a lot.  So obviously if you really enjoy it, I mean go for it. Do your best no matter how hard it is. Side hustles are too difficult to handle because of issues like capital. So capital is the first issue. For example, for what you need to go to school, so at home maybe they don't have savings. I love to pay side hustles sometimes difficult before you get your customers. Before you go to the market, eventually your customers. So that is what I find difficult. And then pay for starters, you might get discouraged. Maybe come over to participate in any other side hustle. But once we share in gear, then we're in a flow too. I love to come and go to a couple with these will always flow. It depends what you're doing. Some side hustles really require capital. And for a comrade to take a side hustle, it takes a lot. I think it's very hard, especially for a young person because it's the first job that you do and you're not really used to, I think, work in a way. And I think it's very hard. But for someone who's committed, I think it can be easy. But if it's me, it will be very difficult. It's hard, it's hard. First of all, for side hustles, 9 to 5, it's pretty hard. So for side hustles, we need capital. For topical, we need 9 to 5. So to me, it's pretty hard, finding a side hustle. But unless your family is able, so one has a warm shot, then we're done. It depends, like when I say acting. So acting is easy. I don't know if it's easy for some people, but for me, I think it's easy. So it depends on what you do. I'm a side hustle singer. I always get scared. I always get scared in case of a side hustle. I get backfired. But my advice is, you have to take risks. You have to take risks. You have to take risks. You have to take risks. What I do is... what I do is I know where to step into my job. I know where to get taxes. I own a coinflation, I keep thinking about it in the books. So I have to educate side hustles. It's not easy. And it's not hard. It depends on your mentality, or how you take it. But it's hard, Pia. It's an idealism. If you want capital, you want knowledge of what you want to start, you look at what's the problem the problem it's going to solve to the society. Which is hard, depending with capital pay in itadzika. Because we have to, okay, we have to have a protein, we have to have money, we have to have online jobs. We have to have a lot of money, so we have to have a smart phone, we have to have a lot of money, we have to have Wi-Fi. So we have to have capital, we have to have a lot of money. Even as little as 20K, you can start when you have an old office here and you can go home. Yeah, and then you're good to go. Yeah, it's not, I don't think it's much expensive. Yeah. It's sad. We have to be focused. Many times we have to be focused. Hey, focus, don't focus, don't focus. You see, if you have a full-time job, whoever doesn't believe in a full-time job, most of the time, when you run, there is someone on top of you who can't do anything. Now they expect you to give your all to their job. You get. So if you have a full-time job, assuming now your part-time job is business, you're supposed to echo, Of course, if you have a full-time job, you can't do anything. So we have to be focused. We have to be focused, we have to be focused. But if you run, if you run, you'll gain money, you'll have a lot of money. So often, I would say, if you run, you'll have a multitask. I don't know why they say that. As much as they say that I don't agree with them, it's not like they say that I'm not happy if they say that I'm not happy, that I'm not happy. I think that that's why they say that we should make peace. So you say that I'm not happy? Yes, I'm not happy because of online writing. I work in control of the situation, I have no account and I'm serious at the moment, I have 100K. I have 100K so I can go straight to Ocote. So I'm here to support. And he supports P.S.Ira Hissi to come around. Maybe I have a loan and I have a bank. He has a lot of loans to pay for insurance. He's serious. So I'm here to support P.S.Ira Hissi. He's a very good person. I'm here to support P.S.Ira Hissi. I have a loan and I have a bank. I work in control of P.S.Ira Hissi. I'm here to support P.S.Ira Hissi. I think it's both. Let me start with easy. I think it's easy again because we have quite a number of opportunities happening today with the opening of the internet and the global space. So it will be easy because again you do not need a capital to do a lot of capital today to start a side hustle. And again it will be easier when you're working because you can access some finances using a loan or using your salary to jump start it. So it will be easier than it was before today. And then it is hard again because many people again like comfort zones. And they like 8 to 8 to 5. It will be very hard for them.  What I'm thinking again, you see when you look at the job market again, the ladder, the corporate ladder is like falling. It's not there. So there's no way you're saying you're employed today.   Today so many people are looking for jobs and again you cannot tell me that job, you own that job. Another person can replace you, maybe technology can replace you any day. So it's actually hard for those people who think like that. It's easier for people who want to explore more. It's like I will just revisit what I said about understanding what you want to venture in. So if you take your time to understand whatever you want to venture in, it makes it easier now. It is what decides how successful you will be in your venture. You get what I mean? Yes, that's the thing. It might be a bit hard because if one doesn't have enough funds or capital to start the business, it might be hard to get up on your own unless you have support from friends and family financially. And emotionally also, you need to have a team. Personally I feel like it depends with the kind of side hustle that you choose to go with because some side hustles may need to have lots of capital and others may not need to have any at all. Especially if you're talking about the mama foie, you may not need anything to start that. You just need time and energy. Some of the challenges you may be starting when starting a side hustle are business management, hiring people and taxes. So that all depends on you. We have come to the end of the show. Thank you for watching. I am your host SK Gitonga. Bye.


Hello, everyone. My name is Steve Baker. I am an engineer at Red Hat who focuses on bare metal provisioning. And I put this talk together to aim at people who are considering designing and deploying their own bare metal provisioning environment, or people who already have a bare metal provisioning environment, and they'd like their decisions to be validated or, I don't know, they'd like to experience regret. But actually, no, it's relevant for existing deployments as well, because it's going to cover some relatively new features that do have implementations for deployment architecture, as well as some future pipeline things, which will have some mixing differences in the future. First, I'd like to go through a representative sample of Ironic installers. Like all OpenStack components, there's a few options for deploying Ironic. And each of those options often have some opinionated defaults about architecture. So I'd just like to go through those, and as we go through, we'll learn different use cases for Ironic and different capabilities it has that different installers will expose. But before we get specific, I just want to put together this sort of call sequence diagram of a typical bare metal node provisioning process. When I say typical, I mean IPMI and in a traditional sort of level-to-network kind of scenario. So when a user triggers a deploy, Ironic will initially send some IPMI commands to switch the boot device to Pixie and power the device on. Once that device comes up, DHCP request will go out. It will be responded to by a DHCP server, which is managed by Ironic. And that response will include a payload that needs to be downloaded via TFTP. That payload is actually IPixie, which is another Pixie-like environment, but it has the features that we require. So once IPixie is running, it will be instructed to download Ironic Python agent via HTTP. And then once that is actually executing, then the actual deployment process starts, where there's two-way communication between the agent and Ironic, during which there will be an image downloaded via HTTP. And then finally, as final action, there will be an IPMI command to switch the boot device back to a real disk. And the device will be powered on, and that's the end of the provisioning process. So I'd like you to keep this in mind as we go through various installers and other scenarios. First install I'd like to cover is Bifrost. It's more of an appliance-based approach, so by default it's single node, and it's meant to be as simple as possible to get going on any machine. Notable things to look at. We have one Ironic All service, which is a combination of the API and the conductor. We are in the process of merging an inspector back into the Ironic code base, so in the future that will disappear as well. DNSMask serves the purpose of both DHCP and TFDP, and EngineX for HTTP transfers, MurrayDB for storage, and overall these services are all managed by SystemD. And on the bottom there we have a provisioning network interface that's attached to the BML nodes on the same level 2 network. We're going to be coming back to that situation quite a lot in this talk. Now another appliance-like deployment is Metal Cubed. This is deployed on Kubernetes, but it's quite different to Bifrost. For a start the end user is not interacting with Ironic APIs at all, like they are with Bifrost. Instead they are interacting with Kubernetes resources, and there is a BML operator, which is responsible for starting Ironic when it needs to be started, and converging the state so that the nodes that need to be deployed are what's reflected in the resource. So this is immediately very different to a traditional OpenStack or Ironic deployment. But we do have the similarity on the back end. There needs to be a provisioning network interface that the pod can attach to directly with the BML nodes also on that same network, which can be tricky in a Kubernetes environment to have that kind of access to BML. Currently with Metal Cubed the solution for that is to run it in the run the pod in the network post-network namespace. There are different what you can run Metal Cubed with MariaDB, but in this case it's running SQLite, and in fact in some scenarios there's an effort to make the Ironic as ephemeral as possible. So the state is the Kubernetes resource, and Ironic is only brought up when operations are actually in progress. So it's really pushing the boat out of the concept of an appliance in this case. So it's quite unique. So now I want to move on to some triple-O architectures. I know that feature development has stopped in Wallaby, but triple-O is going to be around for a long time, and I think it's useful to look at both the undercloud and the overcloud. With the undercloud we're starting to add some OpenStack components that add value that support the deploy and overcloud scenario. As you can see, Ironic API and Ironic conductor are now split out into two separate services, communicating via rabbit, just like in a normal OpenStack. We have Neutron in the picture now to allow for some more complex network configuration scenarios, and also it's generally responsible for DHCP responses. So now Ironic is communicating with Neutron when it wants to, when it says we're deploying this, this no needs to be served this content over TFTP, which means that DNS mask is now only serving the function of TFTP. I'm going to gloss over inspector and DHCP issues just for simplicity. Again, on the bottom we've got provisioning network. I'm not going to diagram out full network architectures just for simplicity and to keep the scope to things that are related purely to the B-Metal provisioning. Then when we move to the overcloud, we get to what I would consider as representative of most of the other installers, where it's an OpenStack cloud focused on probably Nova, but it also has Ironic running with the Nova Ironic drivers enabled. There is a Nova compute running on each of the control plane nodes that it's configured for Ironic. So that means end users are going to be interacting with Nova in many scenarios to do the provisioning. In this case we have three HA controller nodes, we've got HA proxy for load balancing to access the API services, but different installers, slightly different variations on this, different combinations of services on different nodes, etc. So I think this is like represented of a traditional Ironic deployment. So I think we can move on from installers for now and start looking to some other areas. So scaling and constraints is something that people often ask, how many nodes can one conductor manage? It's a difficult question to ask, because it depends on many things. We had this concept called conductor groups. The intentional conductor groups was to categorize nodes by some physical aspect of the architecture, be that data warehouse, rack, different L2 network, whatever different failure domain is useful to you. And that was the intention of the feature and it is used for that. But it's also ended up being used for a different purpose. So here we have a scenario where there's nothing physically separating the nodes and yet they're still separated into groups. And the reason for that is Nova Compute is optimized for dealing with a number of services, resources, which you could reasonably fit on a single compute node. But in the Ironic scenario, every Nova Compute has a view of every single metal node as a resource. And part of its function is to constantly loop through every available resource and make sure it's up to date. And the Nova State layer. This becomes a scalability issue when you're managing a certain number of nodes. It takes a longer time for Nova State to come up to date and there's load across the whole cluster as it does this work. So a kind of work around solution to this is using conductor groups as a pseudo sharding mechanism. This lets Nova be configured to a particular conductor and that conductor is configured to a particular group of nodes. So Nova only sees those nodes. And that solves the problem. But this is not what the groups were designed for. So I said in the abstract that there would be a specific real world example of a working architecture. And thanks to CERN, I can show this the way they're using conductor groups specifically. So they have around 20 conductor groups. Each of those groups are managing around 500 nodes. And they each have a Nova compute dedicated VM, an ironic VM which has a collection of ironic services that are required. There's also a special group which doesn't have a Nova attached to it. And that's just for burning tasks for new hardware. So with this setup, they're currently managing about 8,700 nodes in a single Nova compute cell that's dedicated to VM. I had to update that number after Ulrich's talk this morning. They expect in the next year or so that they'll be managing around 10,000 nodes, which is really quite impressive. So some things to consider when you're deciding what kind of ratio between nodes and conductors you should expect. One we've just talked about, Nova responsiveness for the resource tracking overhead, the CPU load of ironic conductor, not just of Nova constantly polling it, but for the periodic jobs that ironic is running, such as to poll the power state, et cetera. How dynamic your workloads are. And by that I mean, are nodes constantly being redeployed that would require that results in API activity conductors that are doing work? Or are they relatively static workloads where they're deployed once? And then from that point on, the only overhead is periodic tasks like power management. So all those points are kind of around how many conductors. But as we saw, single node ironics is a perfectly valid case, the kind of appliance scenario. And if you do a bit of tuning, you can manage around 1000 nodes on a single node open stack. Sorry, a single node ironic. So that's at least gives you an idea of the parameters for scaling. Even though I can't give you an exact answer. But in the real world, you know, some operators have a firm policy of 300 nodes per conductor, some have a firm policy of 500, as we saw with the earlier. So that gives you the kind of range that people are currently doing in the real world. So we have in the pipeline a solution to the conducted groups for sharding situation. And ironic, there is now a dedicated shard ID attached to each node. And there's a minimal API to manage shard IDs for all your nodes. And it's also possible to when you're requesting all nodes to filter by that shard ID. So this is now as us to sort of decouple in the in the number case, decouple computes from conductors, while still making it possible to group nodes to computes, so that computes have a limited view of the full pool. And, you know, we can have a proper scalable sharding solution. The support is has been added in Antelope in ironic. So if you need this kind of sharding mechanism beyond over, then you can do that now. The nova support is still in progress. I would tentatively say it will happen in the cycle, but please don't hold me to that. So another thing to consider when you're designing your ironic is your end users. Ideally, you'll be wanting to make your end users as happy as possible when empower them to do what they want to do. And one aspect of that is giving them an API that they are already familiar with and like using. And as you've seen with the installers, there's three quite distinct ways of interacting with ironic. The traditional one would be through the nova server API. And if your users are, you know, deploying virtual machine workloads, you know, it's a compelling case that they could deploy metal workloads using the same API, same tooling. And that is traditionally what is how ironic has been used, but it's not the only way. There's also directly with the ironic API. In some cases, it's actually useful to have full access to the bare metal state. Let's say if the more in the model of wanting to provision a specific bare metal server, rather than just taking one from a pool, having access to failure reasons and having access to the actual state of the node can be extremely useful in that scenario. And it is possible to provide a nova like experience by using the client side library and app called Metalsmith. And what I would sum up the nova like experience as would be, one, it will manage the neutron nodes for you. And two, it gives you an allocation API so that you can request, you can say, I want a bare metal node with these constraints. And it will find a free node from the pool that meets those constraints and give that to you. And finally, we have the Kubernetes API. I mean, increasingly, our users are going to be most comfortable with managing Kubernetes resources. So being able to manage bare metal as a Kubernetes resource would be very compelling for them, especially if they had no exposure to OpenStack APIs at all. And in fact, anecdotally, we're hearing about a lot of people who say, yeah, we don't use any OpenStack components. We don't use Ironic for bare metal provisioning because we use metal cubed. So they're actually not aware that they're using Ironic under the hood, which is, I mean, it's good and bad. So a relatively recent feature that we believe is mature enough to start using now is virtual media boot. This is a feature of the Redfish driver, which enables quite a different deployment flow. And it has implications for networking. So just coming back to that call sequence that we looked at at the beginning, I could just highlight what could be considered level two network services. DHCP definitely null two service. TFTP doesn't scale beyond networks. It doesn't scale well with number of nodes or with a quantity of data. So we kind of think of it as a level two service as well. But what if we didn't have that restriction? This is actually the case with virtual media boot. So here we have a deploy is being triggered when using the Redfish driver with virtual media boot. Ironic will build a custom ISO. And with Redfish calls, it will attach that ISO as a virtual device on the node, such as a virtual CD ROM. So when the node boots, it will immediately be executed. And that ISO is Ironic Python agent. So it cuts out that whole first bootstrap part of the provisioning process. And we're immediately into the actual provisioning tasks where the agent is communicating with Ironic and downloading the image, writing image. And that's it. So this is quite a game changer. And it does have implications for network architecture because we no longer need the direct access to the network interface that's on the provisioning network. So this is just a repeat of the metal cubed architecture. If we no longer have this requirement, then it could look like this. So the pod can just be a normal pod. The network accessibility to the nodes doesn't have to be L2, it can be more. It's very much still desirable to have a dedicated provisioning network. But those L2 restrictions have been lifted. So it's considerably more flexible. One of the more complex scenarios that we deploy are overcloud on is with a spine and leaf network configuration. This has really good performance characteristics and also better failure redundancy. So it's quite compelling for a lot of our operators. And in this scenario, we've got Ironic running on the bottom left leaf, which means that the leaves on the right need to have configured, sorry, the leaf switches on the right, need to have a DHCP relay so that the DHCP requests can reach back to the Ironic. Which is fine. But it's configuration complexity. If DHCP messages aren't coming through, it's going to be a pain to debug. So it would be nice to not have that complexity on top of the configuration of the spine and leaf. And that is the case when we're using virtual media boot. So some final takeaways. I'd just like to reiterate, different deployment tools have opinionated architectures, so that's something to keep in mind. Your end users have preferences about the kind of APIs they would prefer to use. So it's nice to keep them happy. You've got a few things to consider when you're working out your conductor to node ratio based on, you know, nerve usage type of workload, et cetera. And I'd say virtual media boot is really, and it removes network architectures constraints. But some hardware vendors are more ready than others. So I would recommend doing your own evaluation before you're making firm decisions about your network architecture based on the assumption that it'll just work. Yeah, that's it. So, yeah, any questions? Yes, good. Okay. Okay, thanks very much.


Stop right there. Here's three killer persuasive devices you need to be using in language paper two question five in your November resets next week. Over to Barbara from First Rate Tutors to find out. Okay guys, so starting off number one, we have rhetorical questions. This is a question that doesn't need to be answered. They are amazing because they make your writing really persuasive and they encourage your readers to really reflect. Now back to Maya from Grade 9 Academy for number two. And coming in hot with number two, we have imperatives. Now these might sound complicated and confusing. They're so simple. They basically are just bossy words, commands and orders but they make your writing so persuasive. Okay, finally we have the counter argument. This might sound complex but it's ridiculously easy. All I want you to do is to look at why someone might disagree with you and that's it. This is one of the best ways to boost your grades because it shows that you are looking at a range of perspectives.


Baja California, it was wonderful wonderful time there a few days and For me people ask me, you know, hey, so how did you like Mexico? Honestly, I was like I'm always surrounded with Latinos and Hispanic people and stuff And so they're just lovely for most friendliest most nicest people in the world So I'm like honestly I didn't feel like I've accept of course the area But other than that it was a very very wonderful experience had a chance to See and do wonderful things there and then I was suffering for the cause of Christ and the beaches of San Diego and Struggle this real hashtag But we're really happy to be back home. Amen. Thank you for all the birthday birthday wishes on Facebook I found out today on Facebook that it's my birthday and so Just throwing it out there for you and stuff and so but good to see everyone I know that we have some people actually from Belorussia who are sitting in the back with our past Let's give them a round of applause Amen, and then we also have oxana sister. He came all the way from Seattle Victoria a little disclaimer. She's hating inter cities So ultra city people we're gonna have to change things up here today But we love Seattle as she's from City Hill. We love City Hill as well Amen, and I actually just read on the news that a true cities the unemployment interest cities fell to six percent Which is the lowest in like some 20 or something years Which is really really nice and so we really love our city a man and we believe in next 16 days We're gonna have our conference Kingdom come can somebody say a man? We are excited and so in two two and something weeks We're encouraging each person that we're gonna bring two new people to church two new people to church one on Friday And the one for Saturday and so on both nights. We're gonna expect just the power of God I know we have people here right now like a gentleman who was healed of asthma at last conference And who's still running and praising the name of Jesus a man We're gonna believe for notable Miracles and the touch of the Holy Spirit to touch people in this place can somebody say amen We will see the kingdom of God come and the kingdom of the devil be destroyed Can somebody say amen and so in just two weeks really believing that I ask each one of you Let's really push and work hard to also one of the ways you can invite people is actually through Facebook on your Facebook event Just go ahead and just invite, you know other people on your friends and and other so that people will come Our city needs revival Our city needs Jesus. I saw on the news that we have about 25 major violent gangs in our city about a thousand three hundred to a thousand five hundred people in our city are involved in gang lifestyle and a lot of these people come from broken homes a lot of these people their life are broken and Their life is shattered and not only they live and hurt But they cause hurt to other people and our goal is not to remove gangs our goal is to Replace we want these gang leaders to be a home group leaders Come on somebody come on if you can gather people and buy wheat and buy tequila and do all illegal things You can gather people and be filled with the Holy Spirit and bring people tonight prayer and go get some other people Say it can somebody say amen, and so we are really praying for our city We are really praying for our generation those of you who are visiting us for the first time Or maybe you've been coming and you may see kind of you know our radical approach toward these things I want to tell you something that devil doesn't sleep and God passionately loves our city and we want to reflect that by loving on our city and by praying for our city and Passionately standing for our city can somebody say amen, and we know the revival is the will of God The kingdom of God is the will of God for our city the young men and young women will rise up and serve God They will rise up and they will do good things and influence our city for the glory of God these guys like Eric These guys like Elizabeth the guys the younger generation. We believe that they will rise up in a very soon They will have their own youth service and we we will have awesome new building and we're gonna have awesome new things Thousands and hundreds of people will be getting saved and hundreds of home group leaders that will be started in here Can somebody say amen that board is gonna be too small That board is gonna be for bishops because God is this gonna do an awesome things Why because God has a big heart and the devil has big plans for our city. We're just trying to keep up with the devil Can somebody say amen Every single person deserves a second chance every single person Deserves to have hope in their life and every single person deserves to have Jesus and to have life in their life We're sick and tired of religion, but we need something real and genuine and that's something is not something It's someone it's the Holy Spirit can somebody say amen and you saw you know some of these testimonies might be minor You know all person had throat or this or that until you get that problem Then it's no longer minor you're running to every doctor and to every pharmacist and asking for After-counter under-the-counter medicine to get cured of it and stuff So but we know that the Holy Spirit that we love and that we walk in he heals people He delivers the captive some of you heard what happened last weekend where some of our people went You know also we took some more people for prayer for deliverance and demons came out and there's another trip That's gonna happen this weekend more demons will come out a man more Jesus less demons more revival and less ruin in Our city that is all we are for can somebody say amen. Let's put our hands together for the Lord Jesus Christ Our vision is clear and cut we want to see thousands of people give their lives to Jesus Hundreds of home groups raised up. We wanted to make it popular Wanted to make it good Not just that religion is for those you know people who just you know don't have anything else going on and it's for everyone But Jesus wants to be in our city where other people want to serve Jesus Somebody says that most people will never read the Bible You are the best Bible they will read make sure you're the best version. They will read of the Bible Let's be the good walking Bible in our generation and we will see our generation touch for the glory of God because somebody say amen So 16 days kingdom come Amen, let's open our Bibles to first Kings chapter 12 verse 25 until verse 28 And it says the following then jarbom Fortified shechem in the hill country of Ephraim and lived there from there. He went out and built Penile Jarbom thought to himself the kingdom will now likely to revert to the house of David if these people go up to offer Sacrifices at the temple of the Lord in Jerusalem.  I'm sorry. This Jewish name is really difficult to pronounce I'm like, yeah, Rob. What why couldn't make it like Smith Larry Vlad verse 38 Yeah, Jose Juan Pablo. Anyway after seeking advice the king made two golden calves He said to the people it is is it too much for you to go up to Jerusalem the gas prices went up Traveling tickets are high. Here are your gods Israel who brought you out from Egypt Say this prayer with out loud with me. Say Lord Jesus open my heart to your word Lord Jesus open my heart to your spirit and Lord Jesus open my heart to your faith Amen I want to speak to us just for a few moments about a Topic of lasting legacy lasting legacy there was a guy in In one city who had a friend and he comes to his friend and He looks very depressed and very sad and he says tell me what's going on Why are you so depressed and why you're so sad? He said well three weeks ago my uncle died. He said oh He said no, no, that's not a depressing part He said he died and he passed me an inheritance of fifty thousand dollars. He's like wow, that's good He says why are you depressed? He says well two weeks ago He says my aunt died And she also left me with some inheritance He says so why are you depressed? He says well this week nobody died see When somebody dies in your family they pass on an inheritance They pass some things to their next of kin We must understand one thing is that legacy And a dynasty is something the bible talks about all the time We see this king and you might not be familiar if you don't read much about the bible I will just introduce this guy to you give you just a very simple basic Introduction about his life you can learn more about him in the pages of the first kings There was this guy named jerbom He was the first king that israel had when they divided up from the solomon's kingdom So first there was sol david and solomon solomon commits sin God comes to solomon and says because you've committed these sins I'm not gonna I'm not gonna give you the whole kingdom to your next generations You will have everything fine But next generations won't have everything fine and the next generation that rises up God takes the 10 tribes away from the kingdom of david's dynasty and gives it to this fresh guy on the block named jerbom And god comes to jerbom and he tells him that if you will obey me and follow my commandments like king david did I will establish your dynasty That as long as there is kingdoms and kings your Seed means somebody from your lineage will sit on the throne over the 10 tribes of israel He said I will still allow david's guy to sit on the throne for as long as they will be alive But you will be like the second guy to david.  We must understand that we are someone's legacy Somebody made decisions and these decisions affected their life And when they were gone these decisions affected you The place you're born languages speak The habits that you carry Many of these things most of the time Come from the tree we all come from And many people don't realize is this is that we all carry also someone else's dynasty someone else's legacy Somebody made decisions and it caused you to eventually fight or have victories in your life because somebody didn't win the battles Or have won battles for you And while you're sitting here trying to sort through the mess At the same time you're also making a decision For children that will come out of your life That will be affected by your decisions. You may say well, I'm not gonna have kids You will still have an effect on generation even without having kids Jesus didn't have kids yet. He left a legacy that has affected this world When I look back at my life You know and I could pat myself on the back and say you know what at the age of 24 I was married and at the end of the day of my marriage. I was a virgin I lived my life dedicated to God You know, I lived my life seeking God You know, I could pat myself on the back and say I wasn't addicted to this I wasn't addicted to that and everything but in reality if I be very honest I will tell you that one of the reasons that my life churned out and trust me my life wasn't that easy as I just made it seem like But if I would be honest What is the reason half 50 percent of the battles I never had to fight? It's because my parents My grandparents and my great grandparents won those battles for me And today those battles don't exist like they're still there But they don't affect my life as much as they affect somebody who comes from a family where people in the family didn't fight those battles It's not fair why it happens It's not fair, but it happens That's how the world works. Adam makes a mistake. He affects his destiny And then this his destiny he doesn't just disappear and everything everyone starts from the beginning No one starts from the beginning. You start where others left off And everything Adam made a mess of Got passed on to his kids and his kids instead of fighting with one another They're fighting with one another. They killed one another And then you see the next chapter that those kids they pass on another legacy where we see Violence in this world so severe So bad that gossips these people are just going nuts. This is unbelievably horrible Why because that's exactly what happens whether you realize it or not you pass on a dynasty to a next generation That's just how it works when I look at my spiritual roots, you know with I heard stories of from my grandma and from my pastor from my parents of distant relatives and descendants who went to jail because they were Christians And they were tortured for Jesus because they were Christians And then they died out of the wounds that were afflicted on them because of following Jesus It makes me appreciate and understand That one of the reasons that God has blessed and protected me It's not because I'm spiritual or perfect But because I'm also somebody's dynasty And while I'm enjoying that there's also other things that I need to fight That maybe they haven't fought with I'm also creating that dynasty for the next generation that is coming after me If you look even amongst us today, this is not to point fingers This is not to belittle belittle anybody or make somebody feel like man Sucks to be you got born on the wrong side of the tracks This is to make us understand you are going to leave a legacy because you are living in someone's legacy right now You got to deal with that and you got to understand that You know when I look at uh britney and brison Stephanie From the family of stills, you know their father who is here tim And if you if you would look at their dedication to god You know if you would and I know them a lot closer Than most of you if you would look at their commitment to god through thick and thin And you will say wow, you know, where's that commitment? There's such a committed christians But if you will look deeper you will you will see that that commitment is not just with them It started with their parents and if you will look deeper you will find out if you knew their grandpa You will find out how committed to christ Grandpa was that in this church he was baptized with the holy spirit in this exact building That's where he met god and he encountered god and so guys these things work like this you are in someone's legacy And you are creating someone's legacy right now at the same time And we must understand that our decisions are not just you're when you're smoking You're not just having fun. You are creating a pace for the next generation When the battle comes with pornography and you say, you know what? I just want to indulge in it and you pass on the battle instead of winning the victory You're passing to a next generation a battle you haven't fought God wants us to be a generation who doesn't pass battles to next generation But victories and trophies to next generation and we're gonna be that generation because somebody say man Too many people have grown up being passed on divorce Abuse drugs all kinds of you know broken family anger and dad in jail or mama in jail Mama and daddy always fighting, you know, and that is not our fault But at the same time you and I can change that realizing I can deal with my history And I can create brand new destiny for my future and for the future year unborn God promises to Jeroboam and he tells him I will bless your life And right away god says I will bless your dynasty God is not just interested in blessing your destiny Not just in making your 70 years in this world somewhat. Okay.  I like I told my brother and I was like you you slacking I was like, wait, wait, once you get saved you're gonna catch up all of them Nobody gets a free ride in our family And that's why you see now.  You will live your life even better But the best part Is the children that will grow up They won't see knives flying Like in the movies in the room They won't see mom and dad choking each other But they will see kindness and love and they will also grow up Just like you actually better Can somebody say man You know, I see lorisa and leo when we just started our church and we started our little youth group And lorisa became our one of the helpers, you know, we're a little You know 17 18 year olds running around Not knowing what we're doing and lorisa was there almost every single time she would sacrifice her family time Sometimes her husband will get mad at me because you know, she would spend more time there than even in her family We were immature. So we kind of pulled everything everything together. We took everybody's time with family was always last Jesus first Minute she second but honestly even in our immaturity even in our lack of knowledge You know, and I saw the commitment and sometimes I was like man She's sacrificing too much. She has a family.  Please. You're not just living for yourself The enemy and god understands this principle. Let's we understand this principle your decisions Make your destiny your destiny spills into your dynasty somebody say amen when jeroboam He becomes the king God delivers him out of the hand of Solomon because Solomon makes threats To destroy jeroboam and Solomon is a very rich and very wealthy guy. Solomon was so rich that his armor weaponry Was made out of gold He had nowhere here nowhere to put that gold So he made shields out of gold He made spears out of he made stuff out of god the bible says the silver and bronze was like nothing in these days Tons of gold not grams not pounds tons of gold was delivered to him every year This guy was so rich That there was no enemies comparable to him.  He sends a person into jeroboam's life It's a prophet and the prophet says this and this and this and this will happen to you When you have a problem in your life big as big as Solomon When you have a problem in your life so humongous god wants to deliver you from that problem But not always he will deliver you the way you plan for him to deliver you Sometimes he god will get you out of certain troubles in your life first through a person He will send into your life a pastor or he will send into your life a mentor He will send into your life a home group leader Or he will send a good Samaritan who will pick you up and who will take you to church Or who will pick you up and begin to bug you to meet with you so that they could see your life changed Then we see with jeroboam when god sends a prophet the prophet gives a promise And the prophet says listen god is going to give you 10 tribes I know that right now you are on the blacklist of king Solomon right now you are being persecuted But listen god has a promise for your life The way god delivers us is when we are at the bottom God gives us the loftiest the craziest outside of this world.  He gave him a hiding place to run and hide Until Solomon would die And Solomon died every big problem in our life If we surround ourselves with right people If we surround ourselves with right knowledge and if we find ourselves a new place If you come today and you're struggling with drinking You can't hide in the bars on the weekends No matter how much About a Mazda shirt about a hand that you're gonna say in those clubs. It's not gonna work You have to have a hiding place Many people don't see their life changed for this one reason. They don't have a new place where they kick it They come to church on wednesday, but on wednesday is where they do church It's where you do it on thursday friday saturday monday night tuesday night It's where that is the place where either will crush you or build you up Everybody comes on wednesday It's where do you go after wednesday after the person maybe in right now It's gonna be me or somebody who says something after you hear the word of god God also gives a place because see you can come to the prayer line demons can come out of you You can go to the best deliverance place in the whole world But listen if you don't believe in god's promise and if you don't change your zip code That deliverance will not last that deliverance will not be permanent.  You look religious. You look Yes, amen. Praise god brother and sister But when you come to your place, I hear what's up home. What's up, dude? Because that is your home. That is that is where you're at home But in church you won't feel like that right the way but until you find yourself new group Your life will be stagnant I'm not saying in any way that you have to make it right the way in the church But you have to find yourself people who are good You make the place a hiding place with them means you find a comfort zone with them where you Can find those relationships built for the glory of god because somebody say amen And jeroboam He gets delivered Solomon dies jeroboam is protected. Finally he becomes a king And that's what we read When he becomes a king He has a lot of people with him 10 tribes probably thousands of people maybe a million The only problem jeroboam has is that jewish people They have this very sacred rituals and religion Where they worship god And three times a year all the men have to go to the temple And they also have other festivals where they worship god and they have a temple already built very expensive temple And jeroboam is afraid if my people our kingdom just got divided if they will start going to my other guys kingdom To worship god three times a year and the other guy is gonna get up with a microphone and says god is good They're gonna say amen, and they're gonna say what are we doing with our guy?  I'm just like Solomon. I am nobody I am scared. I don't have a temple. I don't know what to do But please help me you told me I would be a king when I was on the run away from this powerful king And god your word became real. Could you help me now? Instead of doing that Jeroboam he fueled his insecurity in some other ways He gathered people around he said hey guys, how can we keep people from running away from us? And one guy gave him a proposition. He said let's build idols like metal wooden Statues and let's put it right in front of people. Say hey guys. You want to save money and gas? We got you covered Right here. No, who needs a temple. Geez. I mean that's so long. Those roads are so dangerous We can redo it in our neighborhoods. You come bring your offerings slate right here Worship god and go back home and live your life See our relationship with god Is based on trust When the trust is broken Insecurity will creep in our relationship With our fellow humans is based on trust See when we hear word faith we immediately have weird ideas about faith because faith sounds so out there Almost like you know Pope Francis like faith. It's like oh so out there Mother Teresa Like but I don't want to use word faith with us right now I want to use word trust because trust is easy. You told your friend your secret And he wasn't supposed to tell anybody And he did what happened Trust was broken. You guys are still friends, but there is no relationship Sometimes people are in marriage and there's trust There's relationship if one person goes and starts talking to some other chica on facebook Guess what happens trust is broken when the trust is broken They will still have their names on the mortgage. They will still sleep in one bed, but there is going to be no relationship Because our relationships are as good are as big are as deep are as strong as are as long as our trust No trust no relationship Relationships cannot live without trust just like you cannot live without oxygen If there is no trust you can be handsome educated rich talented charming and sexy But you're not going to have a relationship You won't read the hollywood pages read the news and you will see the most talented the most beautiful The most richest people who have everything that we sometimes maybe wish secretly and they don't have relationships Keeps breaking one to another why because there is no trust there. Why is there no trust? There's a lot of other reasons no trust no relationship and gerbil He had no relationship with god because he didn't trust god to see him through. What did he do? He simply had a broken trust where he he wasn't sure whether god will come through and where there was broken trust Guess what happens insecurity comes in what insecurity comes in well insecurity does two things first it makes you insane and secondly It makes us into idolatry We all feel insecurity But when security takes over when insecurity captivates us It makes us a little bit insane Insane means we become a little bit crazy Suspicious We hear gossip 20 million miles away Every time somebody looks wrong at us. We already know they're thinking about us and been thinking about us for the last 24 hours And they haven't been sleeping but only thinking about us Because that's what insecurity does it does to all of us Insecurity creates a person and makes him into a little monster Ask kane and he will tell you when his brother's sacrifice He brought it and god favored it and kane's Offering wasn't favored in a little monster green monster grow up in kane and he's that's not right I I worked as hard as why did he got honored and not me and little monsters are crouching crouching And a little beautiful wonderful son of adam became a monster Who killed his own brother? How could that be because insecurity grows in the soil where there is no trust with god And when there is that insecurity listen, it turns us quickly and slowly into green monsters Even the best of us become the worst when we allow insecurity to spring up in the place where there is no trust in god Heard of this eagle who had a friend eagle that was faster than this first eagle And this friend eagle came to the hunter and says hey Could you shoot that faster eagle? Because he makes me feel very insecure If you shoot him I will be very happy. He says yeah, of course I could but you could you give me one of your feathers So that I could use it as an arrow To to push the arrow so I can shoot that he's like oh, yeah for sure He gives him one feather and the hunter begins to aim on this fast eagle He aims that it's so hard, but he misses it. So he comes back to the eagle. He said listen I missed it. Could you give me one of your feathers again? He said yeah for sure He gives him feathers that guy keeps missing it until that eagle gave all of his feathers And stopped flying and then the hunter killed that eagle That's kind of how it works in life You give all of your feathers out in insecurity hoping to hunt somebody down because somehow we believe if I can kill your light mind will shine brighter And we have that little monster inside of us and it's all developed out of not having that trust in god That god will meet you through I know somebody's being blessed right now. Listen, you might be next Don't get all worked up. God is preparing the best for you Yes, maybe right now. So they're singing about david but listen Praise god god picked you as well, but they added 10 000 for david and they gave me a thousand I can't live with that don't download the song Who asked you to go and I choose to download the song don't listen to listen to something else He listens to the song and it bugs him and he grows up into a monster instead of being anointed He hunts david for the rest of his life and kills priests So the day the father made the garment for joseph. It's better colors. Who cares? It's fine. He deserved it. He doesn't do anything He needs to wear a nice garment. God bless his heart.  Like why am I even scrolling through this? You just came to your girlfriend's house. Why did you just put a bug in your purse? Why did you have to hack into every password? Why did you have to stalk her to a little bit insane? And something happens in relationships same thing happens in every because insecurity makes us insane We have reasons for it. Of course, it's them her and her But in reality it is little bit of insecurity makes us insane Another thing that security does is it makes us into idol worshipers It makes us into people who now don't have trust In god that he will come through that god will bring me the husband at the right time That god will bring me the children at the right time God will bring me promotion at the right time. God will open the doors where there is no doors He will see I know right now. It looks like I am suffering.  You don't have to have a master's degree in theology But just a simple trust there is a god and he loves me and he has not forgotten that I exist That thing cures insecurity. Oh, no, no, no trust me. You will still feel it But you won't feed it. Why because you know you're feeding your faith I remember you know when there was a time and and I was passionate I wanted to see I wanted to preach and you know, there was not opportunities for me. I wasn't invited nowhere I invited myself to jail I would go on wednesday to preach in jail me and ilia would take a little Stereo a little stereotyping on the batteries and would go in there And I remember it was so embarrassing because every time we would go in there They would scan us sometimes three four times Because there's two russian young dudes with hats walking in into jail preaching the gospel, of course Preaching the gospel. What are you carrying in there? And I remember six months later. I'm like my goodness god When can these security guards learn that I'm not here trying to sneak in some dope to my russian friends I don't even want to see my russian friends I just want to preach the gospel and right after that jail We would go in get in our cars and drive it to the gospel mission And we would stand there speak and right after speaking go up there to serve food And I would do the month after month now one person I preached the same messages that I go today and preach it at the churches or at the conferences the same messages I preached at the homeless shelters same ones didn't change a thing But what changed You know and and our youth group was so small And it seems like you know other people were moving up and sometimes I would have the man other people God just blessing on the people. I mean, what am I doing here? But you see after you kind of walk with god for a little bit you develop a little bit of trust You know one thing is listen. He didn't leave me there He didn't leave me here He didn't drop me there and he didn't hurt me there He came through here and he came through there and it compiles a little bit of grain of seed of trusting You know what maybe perhaps he won't leave me Maybe perhaps he will see me through Maybe perhaps everything will work out and honestly when you stick long enough you will see god is faithful You will see like davis says that listen. I have lived long. I've been young But I've never seen the righteous man forsaken or his children begging for bread because god is faithful because somebody say amen We're today. It's a different story in my life It might not be like that tomorrow where you know almost a week now for this summer almost every single week at least three Places I get invitation to speak Every single week where before I will get three invitations in the whole summer and I would do a praise report to the lord And I don't go to those places of course now because I'm busy with what god is doing here And I'm so happy with not with the invitations that's that doesn't matter I'm happy with this is that through this I've learned just a little bit more that when I feel insecure Not to yield to it Not to fall for it because it will make me into a monster little monster And it will make me inside into a person who will begin to worship idols run around like abraham with hagar instead of waiting on God's timing I just want to encourage somebody's faith to tell you listen the god that has brought you to this will bring you through this Build your faith repair your faith repair your trust in god and you will see god Will not disappoint you you will see god. He will pick you up.  I remember when we just came to camp last week and We somebody forgot to pick us up On monday we arrived in san diego called and said hey guys. Can you come and pick us up? They're like, uh We forgot that you're coming today So could you just wait for two hours there and then get a taxi get to the mexican border? I was like which border? I'm like, I'm sure I feel, you know very safe You know just just kind of kind of hurt stories and stuff and so and uh I'm like, can you come and pick me up? They're like, no, you have to get there and I was like, where do I meet you? Where do I find you guys? I'm gonna walk in with bags. I mean, I don't know about this We go into the red we go into the Into the airport to wait for two hours And my wife goes and orders this asian food And I just had a weird funny feeling about it. I went and got jack in the box instead I went to get jack in the box and there was a lady there who watched the manual tv who recognized my wristband She just went like oh ballistic She couldn't believe it.  I thought it was just a road sick. Maybe twist turns we get in there And they're continuous like every some 15 minutes she starts throwing up and I Everybody's attention was awakened. So everybody saw that we came And everybody saw that she's sick And I'm there.    I was food poisoning in africa once It took two weeks off of high fever and I'm like, and then we have a little minivocation in San Diego I'm like, this is definitely the devil And after we prayed we prayed we prayed it was there's just one that night She went to sleep and I remember she looked at me and she's a lot I went to throw up one more time and during this time. She said I just told myself That's it After this I'm gonna go to sleep and they said, I don't know whether it's fever food poisoning it has to stop And next morning when she woke up all night She slept without throwing up whereas before she would throw up every 15 minutes No matter what she didn't eat anything or she would just throw up She woke up in the morning. She said I feel completely fine went and ate and what I did is it and there's some way There's me not a big deal But to me where I went there to preach What I know that one of the things that I aim for in every service is for the healing of the sick To me was it was a very big deal and it strengthened my faith. I remember when the night came to pray for the sick I was like a lion that somebody poked around I was like I was outraged inside against sickness. I was just saying stuff there that I don't Very very just emotional about it. Why because now my trust that this god Who you know saw through me through through this now will help me through and then people start getting hit And then one thing after another, you know, and this more encouraged my faith You know, so now you know, it's my birthday and I'm arriving and guess what happens right before I get home I realize I lose my ipad No, I don't care about the ipad. The only problem is that it had no passcode on it and it had very sensitive information right on it And I got just got home and I was like And I'm supposed to preach about trusting God and I'm pacing in the house. I was like, what am I going to do? I'm gonna lose my identity. I'm gonna lose my identity. I mean, it's just it's just kind of devastating And I went to the airport to look for it. They're like, nope. It's somewhere.   No I haven't found the ipad, but I found trust Won't fail But if somebody finds it and I lose my identity My god Won't fail I just want to inject it into you today Whatever you're facing Must rub your trust Blow your insecurity out of the water and tell your insecurity.  I'm gonna trust in him and at his time He will raise me up. He will bless me. He will strengthen me and he will prove That he is on my side As somebody say man, I want you to rise to defeat And can we all of us come to the front
