Well, hi there, my name is Sandi Alnok, artist and paper crafter here bringing you Mermaid Week on YouTube I'm making up my own mermaid week holiday and today I'm going to do an underwater wreath using my Copic markers and Mermaid week is just something I'm doing for fun because there's so many great mermaid stamps out there So each day this week I am putting out another mermaid card video So here is the little mermaid from Reverse Confetti I was in the middle of preparing for mermaid week and I saw this one come out and I went I got to go buy that one and add it to mermaid week because she's so cute and With her I was debating what color skin that I wanted to give her I do have this thing that I do called the Human rainbow and I thought what would happen if I made a little dark skinned Mermaid because I think she would be really cute that way and I just decided to go with some of my richer markers When I go for darker skin, I often will start with lighter colors and just start to slowly build them up so I'm using a Kind of medium ish shape So I don't want her to be too too dark because there's going to be lots of other light things on the card But I wanted to have enough punch to her skin that with the background that I'm planning for that wreath that she won't Disappear I wanted to have some really good rich color So my final layer is going to be this e1 3 Which will give me just an overall dark color and blend everything out, but it's not super dark And it's a little bit warmer because of that lighter flesh tone that was put down first underneath of it and finish out her little arms and She's cute already. I mean I just really love her because she's adorable her hair I thought let me do some fun colored hair because she's a mermaid So I'm using a purple and I'll use some teal to mix with it purple and teal or not colors You would normally mix together in any normal sense of Copic marker color blending But I'll show you how I do this because it's certainly possible to mix basically any color You don't have to stick with just what would be normal So I'm going to put my blue green color on the bottom and the purple on the top and Then start to let the two of them blend So I'm going to do a little bit of light kind of flicking toward her her little part and Let some of that blue green go over top of the purple And mix some of it together and you get a sort of interesting combination of the two colors there and I'm not stressed too much about the blending because I'm going to do another step afterward But I'm just going to color in the rest of the blue green You hear my little kitty in the background everybody say hello to punch He loves it when you say hello to him in the comments, too And then I'm going back in with my purple and I'm going to pull that purple down But I'm doing it with the lightest flicks I can possibly do just with the tip of the marker Because that's going to also give some detail to her hair and it'll also make it look like that color is blending Even though it's not completely blending. It's just a faux blending and I can you know Just add a couple little streaks here and there wherever it seems like like I want to add some detail And you can do the same thing of course with your regular hair colors doesn't have to be your crazy purple and blue green colors But the same kinds of really light flicks make for some really pretty little hair For her body I decided I wanted to have a bit of a rainbow going on and I'm keeping too rough rainbow order But not exactly I'm not worrying about it and stressing out about it too much and The inside of that flower. I just wanted to have some general green So I didn't even stick into those stick to those little tiny lines there And that allows me to just color right over top of it with the yellow and have it be just a really soft blend of these two colors Now when you're adding a dark color like this pink color You'll need to blend over it with the lighter color and then sometimes you'll blend something more with a dark color If you don't get a good blend with one combination then try another one try going back to the color that you're blending into it with I Cut her out and set her aside and Started working on the wreath and the way that I stamped this wreath was to put a pencil Circle for the outside kind of roughly where I wanted it and then a smaller pencil circle Inside and just started filling in stamps. I started with the largest ones and then move to the smallest ones And that helps you to be able to fill them in in the tinier spaces as they get smaller and smaller There are a bunch that I masked, but I didn't mask them by cutting out a thousand little fish or little starfish or anything I just laid a sticky note over top of something and made really quick and easy masking Because it wasn't worth a lot of that detail. You're not gonna look into it much on the card But if it does bother you that some of the lines don't meet up then just take a pen and fill them in If you're going to fill it in before you do your Copic coloring, just make sure you use a Copic friendly pen Generally, I use the Copic multi-liners You see me there erasing my pencil lines because I realized I hadn't erased that really well and that way you can color right over top of them and The ink won't won't move But if you don't have a multi-liner, you can always do that after you finish your coloring with any black pen And that way you'll still get the joy of that outline without having to have a separate pen in your possession I'm using all the same colors that I used on the Mermaid because that's going to tie the whole image together in the long run and When you're coloring things with multiple images like this I was trying to like first color all the fish and then do all the seashells because your eye Can start to kind of recognize certain shapes and it'll help to make sure you catch them all while you have that marker out You're not constantly changing markers by going along the the entire wreath all at once So my eye is currently looking for all the small starfish to fill all of those in you'll occasionally miss some But at least it helps to control the coloring a little bit. Otherwise, you'll be constantly changing markers every two seconds And that sort of thing so that can be a little bit of a pain in the drain when you're coloring something really complex like this now for the inside I Didn't necessarily need to but I wanted to add some richer color because I realized this was going to start looking really fussy and Wasn't going to feel much like a coherent wreath. It was just a little too disjointed for me So in the center area of the whole wreath, I'm coloring with a dark blue-green color and additional to the colors I had used earlier and Just filling in that center section just kind of moving around trying to decide how far out I wanted to go you could have just a very small amount of it and then switch to another color And I was trying to decide how wide that should be how far should it stretch and You could lay the image over it that you're going to use and you'll see me do that later on and compare how strong it is compared to the the other image like the the mermaid that I'll be using and When I look at this kind of a thing It starts to become one shape when I have a big solid color behind it like this So that really helped me in trying to figure out what this is going to look like So then I went in with a lighter blue-green color And I just started adding a little bit of frilliness around the edges And I'm really just doing scribbles and dots Not getting carried away with it because nobody's going to really be looking at it. There's a lot of other things to Interest somebody's eye as they're looking at this card So it's just going to add a little softness so it doesn't look quite so harsh and I'm looking overall to make sure I kind of control The width of the wreath all the way around to make it approximately the same width And when I got all done with it I decided not to go back and fix something but it is a little wider on the left side than it is on the right side But I handled that by how I put it on the card, which you will see in just a moment but then I went in with the Dark blue-green and I added a little frilliness on top of the light Color just so I could soften that out because I had left a pretty harsh edge behind Since I wasn't sure exactly what I was going to do a lot of the things I do I make up as I go along So that's one of the details that I added as I Started working with this So now I've popped this panel onto a card base and here's my little mermaid. She's going to go on to the panel Using some power tabs. These are really super sticky and they're dimensional But just barely dimensional and I'm hanging her off the right-hand side partially for two reasons Hello crows in the neighborhood. You can hear the birds growing madly behind me But I wanted to leave room for the sentiment and I also wanted to cover the fact that that right-hand side wasn't as wide as the left-hand side and I love this little card. It's bright and cheery and Simple yet complex if that makes sense. So it's a really simple design But it's got a lot of interesting both dimension and color and imagery and stuff and it's just a whole lot of fun So I hope you've enjoyed this one and that you'll stay tuned for the rest of the videos this week Yesterday's is in the upper left-hand corner. You can go watch that one And all the others will be coming up as the week moves on and if you want to subscribe You will get all the videos delivered to your inbox You can also subscribe over to them on the blog and I will talk to you later.

Hello, I'm Charlie and welcome to Authentic Mental Health, the channel that offers advice and friendly support within our like-minded community. Today's video is coming up right after this. We have been through this so many times. Does nobody listen to me? Are you not listening to me? This isn't Authentic Mental Health anymore. Stop with the intro, please. Hello, I'm Charlie and welcome to the Rewired Soul. Today I want to talk about how anxiety affects my life. So for those of you that don't know, I'm 24 years old and I've been suffering from anxiety and depression since the age of 15. Now of course, through those years of suffering from anxiety and depression, I've had really good years, but I've also had really, really bad years. And over the years, I've learnt to dealt with the good days and the bad days and I've learnt to accept that there will be bad days. At first, I couldn't understand.  Why am I not motivated to do anything? I'm not normal. How I'm feeling isn't normal. It's not right. There's something wrong with me, but over the years I've learnt that's not the case at all. I've learnt in the years of suffering from anxiety and depression how to deal with my emotions a lot better. And you can too. One of the first things I want to talk about is as soon as you accept how you're suffering, the process of suffering from anxiety becomes a lot easier. You'll start to understand how you feel a lot more. You'll start to understand what is happening in your life, why you can't do certain things. And as soon as you accept that, it takes some pressure off what's going on inside here and inside here. In my experience, as soon as I accepted that I was suffering from anxiety, things became a lot easier. I didn't have so much pressure on myself to search and look for answers and I didn't think anymore that I wasn't normal because I knew now what I was suffering from. But to this day, I still suffer from anxiety and I want to talk a little bit about how anxiety affects me now. So my anxiety makes me question everything, every decision I make. So I might have gone down the road to the shops. And I'm questioning myself, why did I do that? Did I make a fool of myself? Was people looking at me in the shop? Did I have something on my back, on my clothes, on my clothes dirty? Was my hair done correctly? I just question absolutely everything and I don't know why. Like why am I thinking about those things? But that's how anxiety affects me. I question every decision I make, everything I say to people, everything I post online, every YouTube video I make. I'm constantly questioning myself and worrying about what I've done, what the outcome might be. My anxiety also doesn't allow me to do certain things. But going back to what I said before, when I first suffered from anxiety, it really got me down that I couldn't do certain things like, for instance, go to the cinema. I would just cry in my room for days and think why can't I do this? And I'd try and push myself and try and do too much and try and go to the cinema, force myself to go to the cinema. But it would only make my anxiety and my depression worse. But now I know what triggers my anxiety. And now I know what situations, places and people to avoid my anxiety becoming extremely high and me becoming severely depressed. In my experience, time is great for helping me understand and find out what I can and can't do, what makes me anxious, what makes me depressed, what doesn't. And I know it's not a fantastic answer, but within time, you will learn to understand yourself. You will learn your anxiety. So that is how anxiety affects my life. Let me know in the comments section down below how anxiety affects your life.

Each course then organized in a logical reasonable fashion, making it much more easy to find what you need than can be done on a YouTube page. We also include added resources such as Excel practice problems, PDF files and more like QuickBooks backup files when applicable. So once again, click the link below for a free month membership to our website and all the content on it. Most of this information comes from the tax guide for small business for individuals who use schedule C publication 334 tax year 2022. You can find on the IRS website irs.gov irs.gov. Looking at the income tax formula we're focused on line one income. Remembering the first half of the income tax formula is in essence an income statement but just a scaffolding and outline other forms and schedules flowing into these line items. One of those being the schedule C having business income minus business expenses. The net business income flowing from schedule C to line one income of our income tax formula. The first page of the form 1040. Remembering the schedule C flows into the schedule one which flows into the first page of the form 1040 line number eight. The profit and losses is the schedule C profit or loss from business and it's formatted as an income statement. In essence, having income section and expense section were focused on the expenses at this time specifically with related relation to pension plans. Okay, so we've got the pension plans. You can set up and maintain the following small business retirement plans for yourself and your employees. So we've got the SEP. We've got the simple. We've got other qualified plans. So note the general thought process often happening for small businesses would be now I have a sole proprietorship type of business.  The reason that's such a big benefit is because you can put money into a retirement type of plan and that you have tax benefits related to the retirement plan. You also could have some matching involved with it as well. Now I do want to point out that oftentimes when people think of these kind of retirement plans, they kind of feel like they start to think and imagine of these plans as being separate or different than ordinary or normal investments. They're like thought of as plans that are like government constructed retirement plans that we're putting our money into or something like that. That's not really what they are or how I would think about them. Usually we're putting money into some kind of mutual fund and even if we didn't have any tax benefits, even if we didn't have like a 401k or an IRA or anything like that, we would still want to put money away for retirement using the tools that are out there these days, which are normally the mutual fund types of tools which allow us to pool money together and invest in stocks and bonds for retirement. That's the general concept. So where does the 401k come into play? Why would we put it under a 401k? Well, the 401k you might think of as kind of like an umbrella over the top of the normal investment tool of these types of mutual funds general. That's the structure that's going to be used and they actually restrict you. The umbrella does the 401k, for example, from taking the money out early, but in exchange for that restriction, they allow you the tax benefit of putting the money in up front. So you're going to put the money in whenever we're thinking about these kind of retirement plans, similar thing with an IRA. We get a deduction when we put the money in or we get a tax benefit when we put the money in and then when we take the money out, we usually have to pay taxes at the point in time that we take it out. So it's kind of like a deferral type of situation. So that's the general idea with the 401k similar thing with the IRA. If you are not an employee of an employer that has access to a 401k plan, you could put money into an IRA, but the amount of money you can put into an IRA is much less than it is for like a 401k type of plan. So as a sole proprietor, you might say, well, I have some cash flow, I want to put more than I can put into, say, an IRA maybe. So then you might think about setting up your own kind of pension plan.  So you might think of some other alternatives for small businesses, both for yourself so that you could put more money in as well as for the employees. And you have to keep in mind then what are the rules for the plan in terms of how much I can put into the plan for myself, for this plan as the owner of the schedule C small business. And what are the rules for the employees that I'm required to put in for the employees and that I can put in for the employees. Okay, so instead of having a 401k because that's usually going to be quite complex, the two main options for a small business is like a SEP or a simple. So once you've come to the conclusion of saying, now I have, I want to put more money in than I have in an IRA. And then you can then you can go into the thought process of looking into a SEP or a simple and looking at the pros and cons of those types of plans and possibly other qualified plans that you can look into as well. One of the benefits being that you can put more money in than you can from an IRA and you can also give some benefit to employees in that case. Now the SEP, the simple employee pension plan, I think also has another benefit to it, which is that you might be able to put money in not just simply in the tax year that for 2022. In other words, you might not have to put the money in in 2022, but possibly could do some planning after the year has ended to see how much money you can put in to the plan. Because if you do tax preparation, you might come into the situation that the IRA is often the last question that you might ask somebody because whether or not they can put money into an IRA might be dependent upon other factors. So luckily, fortunately, the tax code allows us to put money into an IRA if we're allowed to past the due date or the end of the year, past December 31, 2022. In the tax year 2022 case, up until the point in time that we do the tax return is due April 15 or 17 or whatever the tax due date is. And that allows us to process the tax return and see how much we can maximize the IRA, which is great.  So it would be nice oftentimes to once again be able to calculate your taxes and then be able to determine how much you're able to be putting money into a SEP. So notice as a tax preparer, if you're dealing with people with a schedule C, then this is something you kind of want to keep in mind as a topic that will probably come up if the business starts to be profitable. If they have positive cash flow, then they might want to put money away more than they can put away into say an IRA. And that usually goes into an exploration of the possibility of a SEP or a simple and you can then explore those those options. Okay, so SEP simple and qualified plans offer you and your employees a tax favored way to save for retirement. You can deduct contributions you make to the plan for your employees online 19 of schedule C. So when we're talking about the amount that's going to be put away for the employees, that's part of of the business, you know, benefits. So that's going to be a normal, ordinary, necessary deduction on the schedule C. If you are a sole proprietor, you can deduct contributions you make to the plan for yourself on line 16 of schedule one form 1040. So we end up with the same kind of situation. And I would still, I think the best way to imagine this is to try to say, okay, if I was an employee employee or situation, how would things form formulate? And then if I'm a sole proprietor, where the government is once again kind of treating me as if I'm an employee and employer of myself by charging me social security and Medicare. How is it going to work in that case? How have they adjusted the tax code? In other words, if it was a corporation, which was a separate legal entity that was paying an employee, then the corporation would be able to deduct the amount that they put into the retirement plan, which we can of course do for our employees. But what about the amount that I put into the retirement plan for myself? You would think I'm, even though I'm not paying myself wages, I'm not processing W2 wages for myself. You're still treating me as an employee of myself because you're charging me social security and Medicare. So you would think that they would allow me a deduction for the amount that I put into the retirement plan, the SEP or simple or whatever. But you don't get it on the schedule. So you do. You don't get it on the schedule C though. It's on the schedule one. It's going to be the above the line type of deduction for income and above the line type of deduction. That also helps to do the calculation and figure out how much you can put in because there's going to often be limitations on how much you can put in based on the amount of income you have. Oftentimes what you want to have at the end of the year on the small businesses have significant cash flow that you are able to put in to a retirement plan and then try to figure out the maximum you can put into a retirement plan if you have the cash flow to do that. Obviously tax planning oftentimes is dependent upon whether or not you have the cash flow to do it. So you can also deduct trustees fees and contributions to the plan. Plan do not cover them. Earnings on the contributions are generally tax free until you or your employee receive distributions from the plan. So it's similar to an IRA. It's similar to a 401k plan. You're getting a benefit upfront. You're restricting your money by putting them under this umbrella similar to an IRA and a 401k plan so you can't take the money out in exchange for the tax benefit that you're going to be getting. So you may also be able to claim a tax credit if you begin a new qualified defined benefit or defined contribution plan including a 401k plan simple plan or set plan. The credit equals 50% of the cost to set up and administer the plan and educate employees about the plan up to a maximum of $500 per year for each of the first three years of the plan. So obviously setting up, it depends how complex the plan is. So obviously a simple and a set are a lot more easy to set up than a 401k plan but a 401k plan has more flexibility and benefits in it. So you have to think about setting it up and administering the plan. Under certain plans employees can have you contribute limited amounts of their before tax pay to a plan. These amounts and earnings on them are generally tax free until your employees receives distributions from the plan. That's another tax benefit. So for more information on retirement plans for small businesses see publication 560. So if you're in a situation where you want to dig into these and do some comparing and contrasting and see which plans would best suit you. You can dive into that publication. Some of the general things you're looking for oftentimes are going to be, you know, am I allowed to kind of figure the calculation that I'm going to put in personally after the tax year has ended, which can really help for planning oftentimes for small businesses. What's the maximum that I can put in? Can I do some kind of matching situation? And so those are going to be the some of the general kind of things you want to be comparing and contrasting how much administration fee, how much does it cost to administer the plan and what are the requirements if I have employees for the contributions for the employees? What's the bottom line requirements that I have to do and what's the top line requirements that I have to do for the employees? Because sometimes people set them up focusing on the employees as the main reason. Other times they're setting it up focused on your own contributions because you're trying to increase your contributions over what you could put in to a general IRA. Tip! Pub 590A, which you can find on the IRS website, Contributions to Individual Retirement Arrangement IRAs discusses other tax-favored ways to save for retirement.


Good morning and welcome. We will continue with our study on the prophetic ministry. Let's pray and get started with today's session. I want to request one of us to please lead in prayer. Let's pray.  Be with us and guide us. Give us good wife and connection throughout the session and let everything we do be done for you in Jesus name. Amen. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Jeffina. So we were talking about hearing from God and in the last class I said that we will take some time today to practice hearing from God. So what I'll do is I will take us through chapter nine and then we shall pause. We will pray and give words if there is someone here on the call that they may relate with that particular word. So here in chapter nine, we talk about hearing from the Holy Spirit through our spiritual senses. Now something we must understand is that God has created us spirit, soul and body. So we are a tripartite being as we read in 1st Thessalonians chapter five and verse 23. And the spirit part of us is the eternal part. This is the part that God generally uses for us to hear from Him. Now in scripture, the spirit is generally termed as belly in a most being or sometimes interchangeably as the heart of the man. But it's actually talking about the inner person. It's talking about the spirit of the individual. Sometimes some people may just end up using it to refer to the soul also but in the Bible generally it is about the spirit that this inner man is talking about. The soul part of us, we say that it's the psychological part where we have the mind, the will and the emotions. So in the soul part of us, we already know that we can feel, we can think, we can reason and so on. Now when it comes to the soul part of us, the Bible has so much to say where we must renew our mind, we must not walk with carnal desires or we must not have fleshly lusts in the soul. And we must align it to the purposes of God.  So these are the normal senses of the human body. When it comes to the spirit now, the Bible says that God generally speaks to our spirit. The Holy Spirit reveals truth to our human spirit. God has chosen to lead us and guide us. So the Holy Spirit has a way of communicating with us. We see passages such as John 16 verses 13 through 15, Romans 8 verse 14 which talk about God leading us by His Holy Spirit. How does this communication come? That's the question which we are asking right now. The way God communicates is primarily through our human spirit. Proverbs 20 and verse 27 says that the spirit of a man is a lamp of the Lord and He lights it up. So you can imagine it like a candle. Now what happens is when we light up a candle, you would have light. If you switch off the candle, there's no light. So we can understand this scripture as God communicates to us. So that's like lighting up the candle and there's illumination, there's revelation, there's light. So it's basically just saying that God has chosen the spirit of a man to enlighten. So that's how it works. There are other passages that also talk about the communication of God to the human spirit. Psalm 18 and verse 28 it says, for you will light my lamp, the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.  And that happens by the Holy Spirit and there is another scripture here. Psalm 42 and verse 7 where we read that deep calls unto deep. So what does God do? God deposits something in the human spirit through His spirit and that is why it says that the deep calls unto deep because in a sense the spirit is the deepest part of us. The spirit is the innermost being. So that's how we understand the way God actually communicates with our spirit. So let's continue from here. We'll talk about the five spirit senses. Just give me one moment. I'll be right. So I'm going to share my screen here that has all the spirit senses and it'll just help us understand things better. I hope you can see it now. All right. Now that you can see it, it's a lot easier to discuss. This might be a different page number in your notes. I'm using the PDF version and this PDF version I downloaded quite a while ago. So there are probably updates to this. But you can go to chapter 9 and you can find this particular pictorial depiction of the spirit senses. So we've been saying that soul seats our mind, will and emotions that we understood. Then the body has the five normal human senses. Even that we understood the body sometimes is called as the outer man and the spirit is called as the inner man. The Holy Spirit communicates with our spirit. He bears witness with our spirit is what Romans 816 says. And the spirit man also has senses and we could even look at these senses as parallel senses. So we mean that when we say that the body can feel the spirit can also feel the body can hear the spirit can also hear. Similarly, every other sense, the sense of seeing, the sense of taste, the sense of smell. So the spirit is able to pick up these things and it is said that maybe the human spirit has many more senses and not just the five senses which we compare with the bodily senses of us. So how do these senses work? We will get into it. But before we get into that, one thing that I want to state is that the human spirit, it picks up the communication of God because it is the lamp of the Lord. We saw that and God lights it up. So the spirit is the lamp of the Lord and he lights it up or he brings communication to the spirit. Now once the communication comes, each of us needs to be able to use the soul part of us to do what? To try to understand what God is saying, you know, try to recognize the meaning of what has been communicated to us then to think that, you know, how should we take this message if it's meant for somebody else and how do I take that message? How do I communicate it in the appropriate way? So all of this will go on within the soul. So for us to say that yeah, when it comes to prophesying, the human spirit is everything and it really doesn't matter, you know, regarding our soul or our body, that wouldn't be true because the spirit, soul and body have to kind of work together. And obviously, you know, once we have determined what action to take, the body has to cooperate and then we have to go ahead and do that. So that's how it generally works. The communication of the Lord comes and we analyze it or here they have, it is written as reason, analyze, determine action and the outer man will do what is required. So now we've understood that the spirit has senses also and it can receive the communication of the Lord. Now, one other thing that we must remember is this particular verse which has been written here. This is one of the more significant scriptures that we will need when we talk about the gift of prophecy. So 1 John chapter 5 and verse 7. Could somebody please read it out aloud for us? 1 John chapter 5 and verse 7. 1 John chapter 5, can I know the verse? Yes. 1 John chapter 5 and verse 7. Verse 7. Yeah. So there are three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit and these three are one. Okay. So there are three that bear witness, the Father, the, what is the second one? Jeffina? The Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit. The Word and the Holy Spirit. Yeah, the Word and the Holy Spirit. So when you see there, there is the sort of synchrony of the Father and then whether your version, I was just trying to check which version you're reading from because you said the Son. So, but of course you can equate that with the Word of God. So the Son or the Word and the Holy Spirit. Now, in some translations you'll find that the way this has been put together is that the Spirit and the Word, they agree. Okay. So our understanding is that whenever we prophesy, it comes from the Holy Spirit. It comes from the Holy Spirit of God. But then what happens is the Word or the message which the Spirit is bringing to us, it will be in alignment, alignment with what the Word actually says. So thank you, Divya. Divya has posted here from the NIV version and here it says, there are three that testify, the Spirit, the water and the blood. And the three are in agreement. Is this seven or eight, Divya? That must be eight first. Yeah, that must be verse eight. Okay. But anyway, the significance is that the Word and the Spirit are in agreement. So the way this will apply to us is whenever we have a word of prophecy, sometimes people say the Holy Spirit is saying, the Holy Spirit is saying and then they come up with all kinds of messages. Now if that message is not aligned with what the Word says, now yes, we may not have a scripture and a verse exactly to go with the prophecy that we are saying. But within the boundaries of the Word of God, it's not outside the boundary. For example, I gave us an example a few classes ago and I said that there was a prophecy to a married individual saying that, oh, you're married to the wrong person. You should be thinking about getting married to another person because that's the right person God has in mind for you. But we know that a word like that, when you look at the Bible, you look at the understanding of the marriage covenant. Once somebody is in a marriage covenant, how can the Holy Spirit guide you in a way that is in contrast to the written Word of God? So it cannot be a prophecy from the Holy Spirit because it is causing the individual to err and that is against the Word of God. So that would never be something that has been picked up from the Holy Spirit. So this has to be our test always. We hear a word in the soul part of us. The moment we hear a word in the soul part of us, we have to go through the checking process where we say, okay, where is it in the Bible? Is it aligned to the Word of God? If we can clarify that, okay, yes, this is very much aligned to the Word of God. Then we go ahead, we take the action, we might share the word with someone or do whatever is needed. So this is how we would be taking, we would be treating a word of prophecy, okay. So now coming to the different senses and the way the words are picked up. Here is a summary, we will kind of go through it again. When you talk about the feel, there are examples such as, you know, Paul states that I am stirred in my spirit or, you know, he says I am pressed in my spirit. So in this spirit, there are all these feelings and each of these feelings means something. Just the way in our natural senses, you know, our soul part when we say, hey, I am feeling joyful, I am feeling happy, it means something. So similarly, in this spirit, God can give us feelings and those feelings can be an indication of what God wants us to do. Now coming to the sight part, there are different, you know, with the perception of sight, we can pick up different forms of communication. There can be still images, which we call as pictures or there can be, you know, more like a video sort of an image, motion picture. Where you can see an entire incident taking place. So that would be either a dream. A dream is what you would see when one is sleeping or it can be a vision. We use the term vision for generally, you know, a time when somebody is not sleeping and yet they are picking up some such, you know, communication from God. There can be a trance. A trance is when the body loses its strength and the person is actually receiving a vision. So that is known as a trance. There are even other experiences such as out of body, seeing the spirit realm. So the spirit man can see. Then we have hearing, the sense of hearing and we have talked about it earlier. We said that one can pick up maybe a word or sometimes even a sentence. We could pick up more.  And generally there is no audible voice associated with the hearing. It's usually, maybe it comes in like a visual, like a word which is written. But then, you know, we know that it's actually the sense of hearing sometimes one can hear it audibly. Okay, so that's how these senses are described. We can go back and we can talk more about the other senses a little later.  Alright, I hope that was helpful. Now we will continue to talk about these senses a little more elaborately. But at this point, are there any thoughts or anything that you wanted to check about right away? Of course, we'll discuss more in detail soon. Oh, okay, trans. Okay, so trans. The passage is acts chapter 10, maybe. Yeah, yes. So we are here in acts chapter 10. And verse, yes, verse 10 acts 10 verse 10. I'll just post it here. They're not chat for you. Yes. So there is the passage. It says when he became very hungry and wanted to eat. But while they made ready, he fell into a trance. A trance is a state as I told us that the body is kind of, you know, weak in those moments, weak or you could say that one is having such a spiritual connect with the spiritual realm that the senses of the body, the strength of the body seems to have been, you know, a weekend. Temporarily. So that's the experience which Peter had. So you can imagine this as something like, you know, he may have, he may have become, it may look like he's unconscious. Okay. But what's happening is spiritually, there is activity going on that he's able to perceive and in this case, he perceives a vision from God. Where he sees all kinds of animals brought down to him and then God is telling him rise, Peter, kill and eat. The significance of which is that he must not discriminate against the Gentiles.  This was in contrast to what was spoken to them earlier in the, you know, the food laws which were given to the children of Israel.  I'm telling you that you can accept all communities, even the Gentiles. And then it leads to Peter actually going and ministering to a Gentile centurion known as Cornelius. So that's how it works, Divya. Trans is when your body seems weakened, but there is significant spiritual activity. Is that okay? So when one is seeing a vision, the bodily functions are normal, you could say, like, you know, strength wise. Sure, sure. So, so does it mean like in a vision or a dream, like the senses that are involved as my sight or, you know, seeing, but in a trans, it's like everything is every other part, like of the spirit, like other senses of the spirit are involved? Not like that, Divya. See, for example, if you take a contrast between trans and vision, in a vision, the bodily senses or the way the functions of the body may remain normal. For example, I could be walking on the street and I receive a vision. I could be worshipping the Lord and I receive a vision. Okay. But what about my physical abilities? I'm still standing, I'm still walking or whatever I'm doing. You know, I could be writing, I could be typing on my computer and see a vision. So nothing has happened to my physical abilities. But in case of a trans, it's like the person, you might see that the person looks almost unconscious. You got it. The physical abilities are gone momentarily. Okay. Okay. Got it. Yeah. It's like that. So is it, is it only recorded portion in the Bible regarding a trans? Is it only, yeah. And even in the PDF, I saw Act 10. Are there any other, do we know? I can think of the first one that I can think of is Adam.  Okay. So yeah. The other ones, can anyone think of other trans is Ezekiel? Did they have any trans? Okay. Right away, I'm not able to recall Divya, but I'll let you know. Sure. Sure. Thank you. Thank you. All right. So that's our trans is compared to. Maybe a vision or some other communication. So let's get into each one, one by one. So when it comes to the sense of feeling, as I already shared, there can be a certain feeling indicative of what God wants us to do. So I might have a positive feeling or a negative feeling. The positive could be, you know, we are making some decisions in the ministry or for the family and we have a sense of joy. We have a sense of quietness, a sense of peace in our spirits. Notice there is a difference. This is in the spirit, not so much in the emotions, but sometimes it's hard to tell where that boundary is. So we may not know, hey, am I feeling this in my spirit? Am I feeling this in my emotions? But, you know, we can take some time. We can check it out and then we will be able to tell the spirit feeling can also sort of, you know, overflow into our emotions. But we must understand what's happening in the spirit. Or that sense of feeling in the spirit because we may be making a decision on the basis of that. So a positive emotion can be picked up in the spirit where one feels a sense of peace or a sense of rest, quietness, joy and all of that. Or there can be a negative sense. What is that? A negative sense can be some discomfort, some uneasiness or restlessness in the spirit. Or we might feel the way Paul said, right? He said, like, I was provoked in my spirit when he saw idols in Athens. He was really angry that, oh, people don't know about God over here. This is the way in which God was guiding him and leading him and showing him where he must minister. So we can pick it up, either a positive one or a negative one. So when we know how to identify, that will then stir us to action. So there are examples given here in our notes. Peace where Colossians 3.15 says, and let the peace of God rule and reign in your hearts. Remember, I mentioned that earlier. The term heart is sometimes interchangeably used for the inner person or the spirit of a person. So let the peace of God rule and reign stirred, provoked in the spirit. We said that Paul had that experience compelled by the spirit. So he felt that God wanted him to go to a certain region and he testifies of that, bound in the spirit. When he was moving towards Jerusalem, he knew that he will be imprisoned. So it's a very uncomfortable feeling which he had and he describes it as, I felt bound in the spirit. So the Holy Spirit was speaking to him in all these ways. Ezekiel shares his experiences where he says that I had bitterness. Like he felt that sense of bitterness in his spirit or other things. So just to let us know that we can pick up all of these emotions but feelings in our spirit man. Then the spirit sense of seeing and I've already described that to us. So obviously this is a spirit sense of seeing. Can our natural eye also perceive? It may or may not perceive. Like in the case of Elisha.  So the first time he's not seeing anything. But like the second time when he goes, he's able to see the armies of God which are there to back up. You know Elisha and his team. So how does he perceive it? Through his natural eyes. So when we pick up information from God through the sense of seeing, it can happen with or without our natural eyes. It can happen with or without our natural eyes. We need to know that. Now talking more about the sense of seeing. Remember Jesus so many times he said like he who has ears let him hear. He who has eyes let him see. So the people who heard Jesus could have marveled and wondered. What is he talking about? We all have eyes. Why does he say, you know, if you have eyes to perceive? Well, he was referring to the spirit eyes and saying that a human being can perceive with their natural eyesight. But there is something that God wants them to perceive with the spiritual eyes. So through the spirit eyes, one can pick up as I stated pictures, visions, you know, and different communication from God. So pictures like there are examples given here. Jeremiah, God asked him, you know, what do you see? So Jeremiah chapter one was 11th through 14th. He says, I see a branch of an almond tree. So you see that one picture, but that picture, you know, as we say a picture speaks a thousand words through that. God was telling him and getting ready to perform my word. And again, God asked him, what do you see? And Jeremiah said, I see a boiling pot facing away from the north. And God gave him the meaning of that and said out of the north calamity shall break forth on all the inhabitants of the land. So God is speaking through pictures. Even Prophet Amos, God asked him, OK, Amos, what do you see? And he said, OK, God in Amos chapter eight verses one and two, I see a basket of summer fruit. So God was giving him a message through that. What is the message? Messages, the end has come upon my people Israel. I will not pass by them anymore. So notice there is a picture and the picture has a meaning which God wants to communicate. So even now when we pray for someone, we might see a picture. But that picture needs an interpretation. Or we must understand its meaning as to what God is actually wanting to say. Now dreams, classic example is remember Pharaoh, he had dreams. Joseph was a wonderful dream interpreter. So he interpreted Pharaoh's dreams. He interpreted the dreams of his co-prisoners. He was going about interpreting dreams. And God in his word on Job 33, we have seen this passage earlier. He said that when a man sleeps, that God gives a dream, a vision of the night. And why is this? Because he wants to steal some information or instruction into one's being. So that's what dreams do. Dreams also bring a communication from God. But dreams are, some people also called dreams as visions of the night. Or they also call dreams as shut-eye visions. Or in other words, dream is a vision but it happens when a person sleeps basically. Because they are seeing things happen but when they are asleep. So that is a dream. When you are awake and you are watching some communication from God, that's known as vision. That's the simple difference between dream and vision. So vision, what is a vision? People like Daniel, he had so many visions. He had the end time visions. When you read the visions, it's amazing. There are kings in it and there is pictures of kingdoms and nations. And each one has some interpretation and meaning to it. And so God was trying to communicate with them. What about somebody like Apostle John? When you read the book of Revelation, it's full of visions. So John did not even interpret some of what is there. So he has given it to us in pictorial language. When he says he sees Jesus, his hair is like wool, his eyes are like fire. So he's explaining the pictures that he has got. And the end times, he sees locusts flying, the attacks coming on nations, pictorial language. He just used the language he knew to describe the vision which he saw. And so like that, there are many visions. We just talked about the trance which Peter had. In that also, he sees a vision. He sees animals come down. And of course, God gave him the sense of what it meant a bit later on. So these are the ways in which God communicates. We might see a vision which then needs to be interpreted. Okay, then seeing in the spirit realm. Seeing in the spirit realm, remember, we started off with Balam about how he fell to the ground. His eyes were opened. He got the knowledge of the Lord. So Balam also is an individual where we see that the Lord opened Balam's eyes, it says. So seeing into the spirit realm is possible as our spirit sense of seeing is opened up and we can perceive. And I gave you the example of Elisha's servant. He also sees into the spirit realm. So there are two realities. There's the spiritual reality, the natural reality. And the servant sees the spiritual reality. The unique thing here is through his natural eyes. So his natural eyes get the ability to look into the spiritual realm. Even that can happen. Okay, again, somebody who perceived in the spiritual realm is Isaiah. You know, Isaiah, how he saw the throne of God. The Lord was sitting on his throne and his robe filled the temple. So he describes that entire vision. And, you know, that's another example. Out of body, we said that, isn't it? So out of body, Ezekiel is a good example. Where Ezekiel, he says that the Lord came upon me and brought me out in the spirit of the Lord and set me down in the midst of the valley and it was full of bones. So it's as if Ezekiel was brought to a certain place where while he's actually at another place. So in this spirit, it almost felt like, you know, he is going from one place to the other and perceiving different things that are happening in another geographical location. So Ezekiel shares experiences like that. All right. And there's one more passage in the book of Corinthians where, you know, you see that Paul states that somebody had this experience, you know, whether in the body or in the body, I do not know whether out of the body I do not know such a one was caught up to the third heaven. So that also see even Paul is affirming that there are two possibilities that people may physically be able to go some place because of a supernatural phenomenon or the spirit can kind of have an out of body experience. And so these things happen and we shouldn't consider them as abnormal. So I'll just come here to our chat section. Rosalind shared Apostle John in Revelation. Yeah, so the trans experience. Paul, Brother Paul is asking what about traveling. So traveling, Brother John is Paul is an intense form of prayer. Okay, now it may be accompanied with visions or may not be accompanied with visions, but it is an intense form of seeking the Lord. It's an intense form of prayer. That's what revealing is. Coming to what Divya is saying, there is another trans recorded in Acts 22. When I returned to Jerusalem and was praying at the temple, I fell into a trance. Okay, yeah, Divya, that's right. It says that and saw the Lord speaking to me quick. He said, leave Jerusalem immediately because the people here will not accept your testimony about me. Okay, thank you. So there's another example of trance. So so far we have discussed about the sense of feeling and the sense of seeing. So would anyone like to talk more about it? In the next session, we'll go on to hearing and other senses. Okay, so in that case, I understand that, you know, you have you got the essence of what I'm saying. So then let me just touch upon the spirit sense of hearing.  So it's talking about the spirit man and the ability to hear the spirit. Now, I've shared that when we hear from God, we may have this idea that we will hear a voice, but it usually doesn't happen like that. Some examples, of course, are there like Samuel when God said Samuel, Samuel, and he heard a voice. But in most other instances, we may pick up words in our spirit. So something like, you know, when we are praying, we may see the word comfort, you know, which now in the in prophecy you would see that God has a certain way of communicating. You might perceive it in your spirit, or you might see that word maybe appearing before their face or appearing on top of their head or something like that. But you get the point that God is saying there is something related to comfort that needs to be addressed to a particular individual. So that's how we pick up the word. We may see the word comfort, or we may sense the word comfort in our spirit, or it can be a sentence. If you recall, when, you know, Philip, he was going and doing his ministry in Acts chapter 8, the spirit said to Philip, Acts 829, a sentence comes into Philip's spirit. And that sentence is go near and overtake this chariot. It's not like he heard a voice telling him that sentence, but in his spirit he perceived, okay, do this an entire sentence. And then he went and he found the Ethiopian eunuch and he was able to share more about, he was able to explain about Jesus when that person was reading a passage from Isaiah. Now, that is one sentence, but we can have more sentences also come into our spirit. So in Acts 10, 19 and 20, remember the time when Peter saw that vision in the trance? God gave him a couple of sentences. So the spirit said to him in Acts 10, verses 19 and 20, behold, three men are seeking you. I rise therefore, go down and go with them, doubting nothing for I have sent them. So this much the Holy Spirit spoke to Peter to encourage him to go. And the next thing that happened is that he was able to minister to Cornelius and his household. So what we'll do right now is we will take a break. We will come back at 10am and we will continue. I see a question in the chat Divya will address it right after our break. So thank you everyone, please stay on the same call. I'll just stop the recording and I'll see you on the other side of the break. Thank you.


What is freedom?  What is freedom? The kid might tell you freedom is the ability to play basketball with all my friends Watch a movie and not be judged when I get home to go home without a curfew You say okay cool You go over to the guy who has been oppressed by his government you ask him what is freedom, sir He'll tell you freedom is the ability to have a democracy and to vote for how the country is operated Okay You ask the homosexual What is freedom, sir? He'll say freedom is the ability to have same-sex marriage without being judged Fair enough All these are valid examples of freedom But these are superficial Levels of freedom. There is a deeper level, right? and more fundamental level and That is self mastery The stoic epictetus once said No man is free who is not master of himself and I don't think any true words have ever been said You can have all these freedoms depending on your circumstance But the one that's at the core is self mastery If you want to quit smoking But you can't go a day without the maribou reds or the winnie blues You don't have freedom if you want to quit pornography but each time a picture of a young woman pops up on your screen Dressed in a particular way and you give in to the urge. You don't have freedom if You want to stop your Habitual eating but each time you walk past the grocery store and you see that cupcake on special You just have to buy it and dive right in you don't have freedom Each time you get the emotional surge of anger and you snap on someone impulsively And later regret it. You don't have freedom Freedom is self mastery. It's the hardest freedom to get That's why so many people don't have it because it involves a lot of effident energy on your side For true self mastery, you need to dig deep you dig deeper than you probably Have dug before in your life. You need to find out your habitual thinking patterns What type of thoughts you constantly have you need to understand cognitive biases the Default mechanisms of your brain, right?  Right, there are many layers to self mastery So many layers So much energy on your side But when you have self mastery when you have this freedom is the sweetest freedom That you could ever wish to have it's going to be the best thing that you could ever attain in life because Once you have this self-monstery you can sit down Think deep Decide on what you want to do with life Decide on what you want to accomplish before you die make a plan and stick to it and That's it. You just stick to it and achieve it and prosper Sounds simple doesn't it? But it's not you have everything against you when it comes to building self mastery you have a brain that is only Bent on survival and baser needs you have these higher ideals of a demigod But you have the body of a mortal You want to achieve these things, but your body and your brain Don't really give too many shits about them.  Reacting with no true fundamental level of freedom of self-control So this is the end of the video you must have really liked it if you go this far. Yeah, right? Okay, if you liked it, please click subscribe and hit the post notifications because YouTube is doing this weird thing right now where if you subscribe doesn't show you my videos very strange very strange stuff But yeah, click those post notifications. Well good. See you next time


Product Yields in Chemical Reactions The amount of material produced in a chemical reaction, called the yield of the reaction, depends on both the quantities of the reactants chemicals used and whether the reaction goes to completion. The theoretical yield, the maximum amount of product that can be produced, is predicted from the amount of reactants used and the mole ratio of products to reactants shown by the balanced equation. The actual yield, which is the amount of product isolated, is usually less than the theoretical yield. The percent yield is calculated using the following equation. Here's an example. 15.6 grams of benzene react with excess nitric acid to produce 18 grams of nitrobenzene. Calculate the percent yield. The balanced equation is shown below. Step 1. Calculate the theoretical yield of nitrobenzene based upon the limiting reagent benzene. We take the 15.6 grams of benzene from the question, convert to moles, convert substances, and convert to grams. Step 2. Calculate the percent yield of nitrobenzene. Our percent yield is 73.2 percent. Here's a question. Which is the best definition of actual yield? A. The weight of product produced. B. The weight of reactant used. Or C. The weight of product predicted. The answer is A. The weight of product produced. The actual yield is the quantity of product produced by a chemical reaction. Let's try a few more questions. Question of 2.85 grams of ethane with excess chlorine produces 12.5 grams of 1-1-2-2 tetrachloroethane. What is the actual yield in grams? If you said 12.5 grams, that's correct. What is the number of moles of ethane used to three significant figures? If you said 0.102 mole, that's correct. Here's another question. Which is the best definition of theoretical yield? A. The weight of product produced. B. The numbers of moles of product produced. Or C. The weight of product predicted. If you said C, that's correct. The theoretical yield is the weight of the product predicted. What is the theoretical number of moles of 1-1-2-2 tetrachloroethane produced to three significant figures? If you said 0.102 mole, that's correct. What is the theoretical yield of 1-1-2-2 tetrachloroethane produced in grams to three significant figures? 17.3 grams, that's correct. What is the percent yield? 72.3 percent. Congratulations! You have completed this activity. Product yields in chemical reactions.


So this is just the goat now, huh? I've literally used three different iterations of Superbowl MVP Patrick Mahomes in my career of making Madden videos. That's insane. And there's actually nothing we can do to stop him. Like, when they took away Tyree Kill, people really thought that he was gonna get exposed for being a yak merchant.  Then he has even worse, more homeless bums the next year and they still wins the Superbowl. And he beat that hot Bill's team. He beat that Raven's team that was smacking everybody around. And then he beats the 49ers on a game-winning overtime drive. I'm the last guy to glaze Patrick Mahomes, but I literally have no choice but to glaze Patrick Mahomes. He really is the next goat. You know what's crazy? This reminds me so much of the LeBron James Michael Jordan debate. Just like, let's be honest. Michael Jordan was the goat and then LeBron came into the league. He started playing so well that people wanted to put him in the debate. Now the old heads will never admit that LeBron's the goat. And the newer viewers to the NBA will never admit that Michael Jordan's the goat. Patrick Mahomes is currently not on Tom Brady's level, but he definitely is the closest person and he definitely has a chance to be. I know this is Wheel of Mutte, but I figured we had to talk about that. Gold 99 Patrick Mahomes, insane card. I don't, listen, it's not like I'm saying I even necessarily want him on this team. I just figured we had to talk about that. Our team is pretty nasty in its own right. We've got CJ Stroud, Jury Archer, our limited prestige Jamar Chase, limited Zay Flowers, just hope he doesn't fumble. And then we got CD Lam, our captain for the Cowboys. And we have our healthy scratch, Cadarius Tony. We got Trent Williams, Russ Grimm, John Runyon, honestly a really solid old line. We just need a center. And then our prestige Gronk, we got Vernon Davis at the back up. That's a nasty offense. Defensively got Christian Harris, one of my like favorite cards in this game now. Malik Hooker, Derwin James, still looking to get a Derwin James prestige, Jesse Bates, Jalen Ramsey, Devon Hester, Nick Bosa, an ugly right side of the D line, Darius Slay, prime time and fine. Let's talk about this. Let's talk about Jalen Carter. Yeah, I'm sure you guys saw. I got tagged about a million times. Defensive rookie of the year. You know why it's extra depressing because Will Anderson was also on that same lineup. I had, I had the toss up between Will Anderson and Jalen Carter and I took Jalen Carter. I'll be honest, I was just going based off the Vegas odds. Jalen Carter was like minus 170 and Will Anderson was like plus 130. So it was definitely close but Jalen Carter had the edge. So I took Jalen Carter. Now this season has been full of insane surprises when it comes to players though, like Jamar Chase getting his limited, Ronke getting his middle linebacker and tight end, Nick Bosa getting the playoff limited. So yeah, this is definitely a bummer because Will Anderson just gotten insane like 97 overall limited, but you live in your learn, I guess. The amazing thing today though is the Super Bowl in real life is over. So the season's over, but the Wheel of Mutt playoffs are starting today. Last episode we were four and two. We clinched the game really close games down the stretch of Wheel of Mutt recently, which is awesome. But we did clutch up, caught the W and that leads us to our very first game of the playoffs. This would be the wild card round. Oh no man, it's Cowboys season and this is the wild card playoffs.  All right boys, let's get our first of only two wheel spins. Remember, it's the playoffs. So I got two wheel spins but these are juiced. So I should get something amazing. And we absolutely do. We're gonna get an offensive jackpot. All right, so any single offensive player but they must be from this playoff team. No, please not, please not Pizzer. Let me tell us. Cause, ouch. Actually, you know, I'm complaining. I think the Steelers, total fraudulent playoff team by the way, but I think the Steelers are really good for this. Yup, so 94 left guard Isaac Sayamala but I can move him to right guard where I need him. George Pickens, he actually have an insane tight end too. What I technically could do, like I could pick up Heath, Heath Miller, and then I could move Gronk back to middle linebacker and I could rock Ray Lewis and Gronk in the middle. I'm sorry, I'm getting a little too fancy here. We need to take the offensive linemen. I get Isaac Sayamalo, 94 overall left guard. So I'll keep Russ Grimm at the current right guard. I'll move Sayamalo. Actually, Sayamalo should be my center. So on my offensive line right now, we've got an 89 right guard, a 92 left guard. What is Isaac Sayamalo at center? He's an 88 overall center. He's out of position. It's a little weird, but it is a huge boost to the old line. He actually gets boosted up to an 89. Dude, these big boys, these big boys can play any position on the old line, right? All right, that officially solidified my offensive line as actually elite. I would like to get Cam Jurgen's out of there, but that's a good start. I definitely didn't need Heath Miller. I'm glad I made that choice. All right, y'all, we short up the offensive line. Next best case scenario is getting Shelby Harris out of there. If I get Shelby Harris out of there, we got a real, can I get? Shelby Harris doesn't have another good card, does he? I don't know who's Pack-A-Punchable. I ran into this problem earlier. Always excited to get a Pack-A-Punch. I just, I think we go Aaron Donald, right? So Pack-A-Punch lets me take one player on the roster and get their best version possible. Dude, I'm about to take Aaron Donald's Pack-A-Punch and just move Aaron Donald to left hand. All right, so we're gonna Pack-A-Punch our 85 overall Aaron Donald into the Terminator card. Not as good as when it came out, but still a really solid card. He should be a good edge rusher. Certainly better than Shelby Harris. In all his glory, 92 overall detackle Aaron Donald, the Terminator. I really don't think we need him to play detackle because Jaylen Carter, especially with inside stuffs already doing so much damage. He's a power rusher and he's so fast. He actually like, I know that he's technically a detackle, but look at these stats. 88 speed, 92 power, 92 finesse, 92 blockshad. Shelby Harris, I love you buddy.  All right, so Aaron Donald Terminator comes in right there and then at detackle two will plop down 84 overall Shelby Harris. So he can go back to where he wants to be and he's a 91 overall there. So that's actually really solid. Keep in mind, one final thing I wanna talk about. Ray Lewis is finally matching himself. I have the 94 overall Ray Lewis cause now I'm level 40. I actually have the 95, but I just wanna show you like the comparison. The cover athlete limited Ray Lewis is still better by a slight margin. He's better. So I'm not gonna use Ray Lewis's upgrade until I get 96 overall Ray Lewis. I think I get 96 Ray Lewis at level 50. So we're close. We're just not quite there yet. Either by the Super Bowl or maybe next season. I don't wanna make any promises though, but I'm excited to try out that new ability in Forcer Supreme. All right, beautiful new upgrades today. Headed into the wild card playoff. We got Aaron Donald Terminator and on offense we got Isaac Siamolo playing center. A quick rundown of the abilities just in case you're rusty. We got Mid and Elite on Zay Flowers. We got Match of Nightmare Jamar. Got five AP on CJ Stroud, Hot Row Master Gunslinger Protected Gift Wrap and then identifier John Runyon, Lynchpin Russ Grimm, Freight Train, Tree Archer. I could definitely take Protected Off, but I don't have anything to use those ability points on. So I'm just gonna keep it as it is. That's eight on offense. Defensively, we've got Bosa, Christian Harris, Jalen Ramsey, Lawrence Taylor, Darius Lay Malik Hooker, Devin Hester, Jalen Carter, Ray Lewis and Jesse Bates all with abilities. It's the all mad and playoffs. Baby, survive the playoff. Our top three, CJ Stroud, Zay Flowers, Nick Bosa. Just a bunch of people who choked the Patrick Palhomes. Doug Williams, ooh, he's got 96 Ray Lewis, damn.  We're playing in the sellout stadium.  That's actually crazy. All right, you guys, I've been, okay, I have an excuse for not spinning the challenge wheel. I've been in Vegas for a week. My brain does not work.   I'm so sorry. I'm homeless. I have a small wainer and I compensate hating women on the internet. Zero Turtle, I like this one. I haven't got this one in a long time and damn it, if I'm gonna do it, it better be in a Super Bowl. No, the playoff game, what are you doing? I need a zero turnovers.  Third and four, you're asking to turn this thing over. Dude, I got my Dutch Bros. coffee today. You know how it is, boys.  Oh, I was so close to that with Ray Lewis, actually. Oh, I'm frustrated. First, and Danny's running no huddle, throwing these passes, bro.  Think some on Christian Harris. Second and one, a whole lot of audibles. Just gonna check it down to his half back, big hit. Need it, need it, need it, need it, need it. Let's go for the strip, let's go for the strip. Back to no huddle, I'm gonna put Bosa on a flat so he can't do that again. I'm gonna put Taylor on a flat to lurk him. He's got absolutely nothing open. Damn. That does happen though. Oh, he'll catch. Bosa's got it, let's go. I knew he was gonna turn it over. That was greedy. That was greedy, he had the yards. He did try though. You see that, he started his slide animation. He was just a little late. Tell you what, boys. It's looking just like the Super Bowl opening drive fumble. All right, here we go, first and 10. Let's see how this looks. I'm kinda looking at tree archer here. I sure am. That's my boy, man. You don't like tree archer. You don't like wheel of mud. He knows what I'm doing. Let's see if it matters. Gronk with that vanguard. Getting out on his blocks and I get spear tackled for an extra two yards. Probably not the time. I think it's fair to say we're always in four down territory. Nice check down. Sat in the pocket clean and delivered but I still need four yards to pick this up. I am gonna go for this. I don't think I go RPO here. There's no guarantee I'm gonna get those yards. Played good defense there. I'm wondering if I could hit Jamar Chase quick. There he is. Tree archer right in the middle. He's such a work horse, bro. I love, dude, I love you tree archer. Hand that off right up the middle. There you go, tree, great blocks. Huge chook. Take eight yards on it. All right, let's give it to him again, though. Sorry. I know I said I'm not gonna spam it but let's give it to him again because now, now is he gonna be ready for the bubble? He just vacated. Look at Gronk. Look at Vanguard Gronk throwing two pancakes.  You never wanna guard? Gosh, Allen gets a big hit on tree archer. I said I wasn't gonna spam the RPO so let's get out of RPO. It's nothing. Stroud's actually, what did I just get a flag? Did I just throw the bulb? Oh my God, what? I didn't even think that was possible. I didn't think it was possible to click the throwaway button and get a penalty. This is not good. Although he's gonna leave Gronk money possession. Let's go, huge. Six for six, 44 yards. Infinite time. There is absolutely no way.  Now Harrison Bunker gets to walk it out here, dude. He could have won Super Bowl MVP. He was so clutch. Seven to zero and I would puke in my mouth if someone did that to me. I would actually vomit. All right, dude, honestly, we get him throwing interception here, he might quit. So it is, whoa, there's a deep corner out. He's got nothing. Second and 28, he's gonna go no huddle here. We know it's a pass. I'm gonna send a blitz out of Bates and Christian Harris and this is bagged. He has absolutely nothing open. Just kidding. It's a nice play. It's a very nice play. Wow, I sent a six man and he got out of that. That was impressive. Right back to the half back. No, he's gonna throw contested. That's just BS. That's lucky. Huge hit. Oh, he's got it on the right side. He doesn't see it. Oh, now he does. Damn, he's got a good pocket presence. It's a pretty nice block there too. First single, uh-oh. Juke is so OP. I literally like, I sat inside and juke inside of that and I still can't tackle it. All right, well, if he was gonna score, it's good that it was with that much time because he started with the ball. I score here with no time left. I'm up seven, ball half. There it is.  Vernon Davis! Hey, if the juke's OP for him, it's OP for me too. That was a beautiful ball. Bro, that looked like it might've almost been lurkable.  I think it was two tall Jones who dropped into the coverage. He looked like he had a shot at it, but he's getting diced up by corner outs right now. I had A if I just sat in the pocket. But guess what? I didn't just sit in the pocket. Second and 10. There he is. Ooh, that's a hard pass.  Vernon Davis, bro. Back up tight end, Vernon Davis. Just, you can get out of bounds. We can preserve a timeout here. Didn't use my clock perfectly though because I've got two timeouts and I don't have enough time. This should end the half. It does. Whoo! All right, boys. This is a really good game right now. No turnovers, played well. I don't think he should've scored on that drive either. I think he got a little lucky. I think I could definitely stop him. Let's just go CJ. Got a slide. Ooh, didn't get my slide off either. Luckily we didn't fumble. Honestly, I could light him up with a Zay flowers corner out here. Just give me some time in this pocket, gentlemen.  I'm gonna puke. Oh, I didn't come down with it. I'm actually gonna puke. Oh, I didn't come down with that. That's so unlucky.  And I just had a perfect accuracy out of reach. Oh my God, it's fourth and inches. After second and inches. That was wide open.  That's an arm punt since he decided to intercept that. I'm tilted now.  I'm sure I could've thrown something better there, but the fact that he intercepted it's kind of hilarious. It's actually so beneficial for me. I think he's gonna throw short. Third and 17. It's fine, it's gonna be fourth down. Huge hit at the fumble and he fucking. Definitely have a chance for a huge pickup here. Got light blues on either side. All right, that's actually a nice play. Respect. That's a nice pick up there on fourth down. Just going with the whip route.  Give me my turn over right now. Let's go boys. Fourth and nine on the 46. Let's get to him so fast he can't breathe. Oh, I like that. Oh no. I thought I liked that. Fourth and nine he throws. A streak touched on nice play. I wasn't pressed. I just kind of got cooked. Jaylen Ramsey got cooked. All right, 14 to 10. Gotta go, gotta go get back. First and 10. I'm gonna simplify this as much as humanly possible. Simple. That's such a simple read. I just need to score quickly. I need to not think about this too much. So I'm thinking about this.   Dude, put him down on the hitch. Get in there, CD. CD on the hitch for the playmaker across the user when he's covering tree art. That makes me horny.   Like, holy fuck, my nigga, you're getting bagged and running around and just throwing it to somebody, bro. Oh, MMG Legacy Drive. Come on, baby.    You know he's nervous now. Just walk that puppy down there. No close calls, no fourth downs. March. Dude, I know that I can turn him over. He is so close.  This is a brand new formation. I think he wants an out. I think he wants a corner out. Oh, that's a sketchy. That's good defense. I don't even think he got positive yards there, did he? The dig. Or no, I think I had underneath there. I only sent two. Right, let's go! Exactly why I want to be in this defense because when I switch it up and decide to go with a blitz, he never sees it. Second and 24, huge. All right, now we're back in a Tampa two. He could hit me down the middle. Whatever, he's gonna juke inside. That's how you play the juke right there. He misses the throw.  I'm on it. Bagged!  I'm so bagged!  It is impossible for you to win this game. That's a good ball. He's gonna juke inside. Get home. Fourth and goal, two minute warning. You think he goes for this? We play this well enough. We end the game with a Harrison Bucker field goal, but we gotta play it well enough first. When will they learn? When will they learn?  They straight up, they actually straight up never learn. All right, let's go. Freebie handoff, here's a Flowers. Don't even get the first. You don't really want the first there. I have to use all three timeouts here. If I can get the first down, it's over. Regardless, we're in an excellent spot here and that's what matters. Although I don't hate it to be honest because we're playing such good defense and he's getting so bailed, I guess. That's not what I wanted to do though. All right, 42 seconds, three timeouts. He could go for two if he gets it too. Guys, we're literally playing outside.  I can intercept this if he throws it. Shot, you just sold the game on that. Trust your defense. This game's over, these timeouts don't matter anymore. Oh, it might be Cowboy's season, but he's the Ravens. We both know how to choke in the playoffs. 24 to 17 in the divisional playoff game or one step closer to the Super Bowl. This was insane. The game should have been over right here. This is fourth and 16. He dials up a pretty nice concept. He's got the deep corner out and then the post-crosser, right? So my user takes the corner out and he takes the post, good play, except what happened?  I don't know how he didn't break this up though. I should be holding X right here. I should be holding X for the SWAT. So Doug Williams had a great game and then that interception there at the end and then CJ Stroud. So I don't get my challenge real because I did have an interception. Then on the ground, 7 for 50 with Dre Archer with the touchdown, really solid game on him. So no challenge real complete. It means there's nothing left to do except get ready for the NFC championship. Stroud played amazing. Everybody on this team played amazing. Everybody really had a clutch play it felt like and we stuck to it. I was starting to get really upset there. I started to get upset, but we kept our composure. We caught the dub. That's what matters. All right boys, I love you. Thanks for watching as always. I will see you guys in the next video. Peace.


Yeah, thank you for this wonderful opportunity to speak about some of the extensions that we have been working on at Ericsson and we are really thankful to the community and to the contributions and that's why we intended to kind of upstream this particular extension that we had developed based on some existing implementations that were already there. So this one is a mixture of two different concepts. So one is the implementation of the tapping filter, the GRPC tapping sync, and the other one is hardware accelerator mem copy, which is done by my colleague Yuzhu from Intel. So just as a background, what we do, so we are a small group of NY developers within Ericsson who modify extend NY HTTP tool filters to fit within the use cases and requirements for a 5G core network function. So in this particular endeavor, I was as a step by my dear colleague, Sven Steinacker, who couldn't be here due to some reason and also Yuzhu from Intel who couldn't be here because of some issues. So the agenda for today is we would give some background on what was the main use case this was trying to solve and why tapping particularly and then the overview of the existing tapping syncs and why we decided to go for a new GRPC based tapping sync and then some additional customizations that we added on top as well to get some statistics and address fame caching and replay mechanism introduced within that tapping filter. And then lastly, it would be regarding the hardware acceleration for mem copies. That was done by my colleague Yuzhu. So starting with just to give some background on why we launched into this whole endeavor. So this is how the 5G core network roughly looks like and it is basically you can consider it as a service mesh with all the interfaces are connected via HTTP tool. And so the network functions on which me and my colleagues work on are the ones marked in green, which are called a service communication proxy and a security and edge protection proxy. Both of them use and why within for specific routing observability or other traffic network traffic requirements that we have to fulfill within a 5G core network. And so let's start with the question itself that we got is why to trace traffic like there are already some existing good mechanisms to observe what is happening within a network. For example, metrics, but metrics can only show a limited information about the certain failure situation as labels cannot just go on forever and they cannot also include complete header body or query information. And then this particular diagram shows a particular pain point that we have in our network, which is that we have a multi vendor ecosystem. And so each vendor comes up with is our her own implementation of the network function. And you can assume that the orange one is made up of one particular vendor, the blue one's from one, different one, the green from a third vendor and the gray one from a fourth. And so let's say there was some sort of fault in the orange colored vendor and it tried to send a wrong subscriber request to the target upstream. So let's say you wanted to isolate somehow that this orange node was the cause of the problem and you started looking at the metrics and you cannot figure out because metrics only show that you get a 5XX from PCF, but it doesn't give you any more information than that. And another thing that you can do is raise the log levels, but then another beautiful thing about Fajji Code Networks and in live operation is that you're pretty much never allowed to raise the log levels or something by the operator. And so there are very little means by which we can get any meaningful information by logs. And then another two methods that we could have is TCP dump or some EBPF based tracing. TCP dump on the interface could work, but that would involve elevating privileges, a big no-no. And also EBPF has the same problem of elevated privileges and other security issues. So all of that makes the envoy that sits in this blue SCP a prime candidate for observing the traffic. And basically going with the decision flow that we had to make on how the architecture should look like. So envoy has both ingress and egress custom filters and we have our own specific set of HTTP filters that we use for supporting all of our use cases. And one of the easiest ways to provide this HTTP to information is by simply logging. However, if there's too many logs, then the, so this blue processing unit that you see, which is consuming the information for the traffic, it will need to process multiple log lines and that would add additional stress to that particular process. So eventually we then decided to start using tapping filter that were there. And we decided to make some experiments with it and try a few things out. And eventually we learned a few things. So there are two basic methods by which you can get a tap with an envoy. One is via TCP tapping and the other one is via HTTP tapping. TCP tapping creates traffic trace representations on a TCP event that is on a connection open or close or on a connection read or write. HTTP tapping on the other hand creates traffic trace representation on an HTTP event on which is header data trailer encoding or decoding sequence. So these basically operate as a callback more or less and the main function of tapping is to just send these internal representation whenever these callbacks are invoked. So basically the way I like to think about filter chains with an envoy is to look at them like pancakes. So basically a different type of a filter functionality represents a different pancake and I like to layer them in a particular sequence. And say on the ingress side I like to layer them as TLS and then a buffer and then the tapping. And then I have all my custom HTTP filter chains. That's it in the middle. And then on the ingress side we have again our tapping transport socket and the buffer transport socket and TLS transport socket. And then let's look at having more functionality within it which is to only trace selectively on particular traffic paths. So for that we had to extend some parts of the tap config input classes with an envoy so as to provide on the listener side some sort of filtering based on source or source IP or port. And then on the ingress side we used existing machinery which is to use these transport socket matches filter which has been very handy to selectively tap just the endpoints that we need. So the way envoy works is it has a representation called as an endpoint for each upstream host that you want to connect to and each of those endpoints can be selectively matched to a type of a transport socket based on some metadata that you insert to this transport socket. So for example you have three hosts H1, H2 and H3 that you configure in your envoy filter with a certain metadata called tap which you set to true for H1 and H3 and for H2 you set it to false and then you set up two transport sockets. One of them enables tapping filter when the tap metadata is present and the other one doesn't enable a tap filter it just has a raw buffer socket. And so in this way on ingress you can selectively trace only the requests that go to H1 and H3 and not to H2. This has been kind of critical for us because the networks that we work with have 400 to 500 upstreams and like equal number of downstreams and all of them are processing basically your 5G core network signalling requests so they are at several million requests per second across multiple envoy nodes so we don't want to overload our system with needless tracing and so selectivity has been critical. And then finally the question is basically which tapping sync to use. So Envoy already offers two tapping syncs. One is file based and the other one is admin based. File based tapping syncs are unacceptable for critical use cases with security and privacy concerns because they basically dump every information regarding the request onto a file and that would then put additional requirements on the storage and so on so forth. So we don't want to go into that direction. Admin sync is the or seem like the prime candidate that we could have used. However on a closer inspection we found out that it had a bit of an issue. So basically what we had was a kind of a bottleneck onto the main thread so Envoy has this basic silo threading approach which is quite fantastic when you want to extend custom filters they are quite easy to write and they are quite easy to understand with regards to connection and request lifetimes. However the problem comes in with this tapping filter that the admin sync is basically existing on the main thread because that's where the admin interface largely lives and therefore the worker threads had to send these traces back to the admin interface and that created a bottleneck on the main thread which you can see in the red one so this was with an example config with static configuration and you can see without tapping the main thread is hardly activated it is just the stats syncing that was happening and with admin interface tapping we see that the CPU utilization just spikes a lot and we decided to avoid that mainly because we have a custom control plane and we never wanted our XDS procedures to ever be blocked or our stats to be interrupted so for that we decided to go with a new tapping interface with the main objective that we don't interfere with the main thread as far as possible to stream the traces and then we decided to build up on the interfaces for the gRPC tapping sync. We took inspiration from an earlier discussion around this topic within the GitHub and we made a prototype of it and then with a custom traffic sync and with multiple worker threads initially and then we kind of fine tuned it and a lot of other stuff. So basically the fundamental aspect is that these information regarding tapping comes in two parts one is the connection related information which is basically a source destination IP and port and then a connection reference ID that is associated with it and then there are your actual trace information which is just base 64 encoded header and body information that would be present in your HTTP2 request and these trace information carries a reference to the connection to which it belongs so each connection information would have a connection ID and that connection ID would be represented within each trace frame and then you can do post-processing on it do it live pretty much and that is the cold part and get a more suitable representation for example pcap or pcap ng and give it to a post-processing sync or analytics unit which gives you live bulk tracing information of your entire network. So one shortcoming however with this pros with this thought experiment was that say your sync had some sort of a disturbance and it had to restart since the connection information was only sent once and later on you're just giving it some reference that connection information is essentially lost by the sync on a restart and so we decided to give a custom handshake procedure and a connection and an address connection replay machinery which is this additional cache that we introduce within each worker thread. Basically it's just a map of a connection reference and a connection reference ID and the whole connection information and it would be populated basically on a connection in it and basically removed from the cache on a connection close which are given via very friendly callbacks within tap config info and based on that you can detect a connection termination or disruption via a custom handshake sequence or via attaching TCP socket properties to the client that is initiating that gRPC push and then you could replay the connection information to the remote sync and that way your connection information is always represented for all your trace information. There are some additional options as well for example there's buffering option and there is also tapping at the HTTP level however the way silo threading basically works is at a particular layer it creates an object so since we are dealing with traffic that are mostly low in number of connection but high in number of requests we don't want to create too many objects by spawning an HTTP level tapping filter so we instead went with this connection level tapping filter and also live streaming rather than buffering meant that we could see the traffic as it was getting processed on the ingress and the egress of the ny side and another thing that we added was the capability to observe the traces that we were producing and produce some statistics for it we had a similar counterpart for our tracing sync for counting similar number of trace events and stuff and that's the way we ensure that on live networks we had a consistency of what we were intending to tap and overall we were quite happy with the tracing solution that we developed the overhead introduced by the tapping system was roughly was lesser than 5% in our max rps capacity for one ny node and end-to-end latency with tapping enabled on multiple listeners and cluster was in the order of 1 to 2 milliseconds however this has to be taken with big conditions applied it depends on what is the loading condition what is the network set up all that but it was quite good for telecom based applications so it is really working quite well and it has been extremely stable and it has been extremely stable in production networks with some of the nodes being deployed since day one a couple of at least three or four quarters back and with several hundred thousand to few million requests per second being traced in live IGCO networks and for the hardware acceleration part I would like to present a recorded video by my colleague who would explain for the details about this this is Ejo from Intel we're glad to share this topic with that to you at invoico unfortunately for some reason I can't draw you today in Chicago so I got to share my part from video now let's let me continue our session on hardware acceleration as you may know for most cases Maricopa is not a problem for envoy requests and response are limited to a few kilobytes in size and won't take much time in the overall precise but for some special scenarios and requirements things are different like traffic mirror a feature allow users shadowing traffic from one cluster to another this is a very useful feature that allows feature teams to bring changes to production with other as little risk as possible and why we'll make a copy of live request data to mirror service with increasing request size the data copy can be quite substantial and another example is TOS memory linearize this is an operation defining buffer system occurs before TLS encryption is applied linearize copy and recombining multiple small size buffer into a large one to reduce the frequency of encryption and associated over time for large size response linearize also come with a significant amount of copy which can up to 10% of overall precise in our test and for traffic tapping our topic today memory copy is also a crucial issue that cannot be ignored when it comes to a large request or response tapping filter would make a copy of all traffic to generate buffer fail then save it locally or send to remote service for later analysis this scenario perform more intensively copy compared to previous scenarios based on our observation the proportion of copy can up to 20% of entire process in some cases so we believe it can be a scenario suitable for hardware acceleration now let's have a brief introduction hardware we're using for acceleration DSA shot for data streaming accelerator is a PCI device integrated in false generation design processor as well as the accelerator it's already hit the market this year DSA support a series of memory copy operations like move the memory copy do cast copy data from one address to another two addresses at once and so on one thing we should know about the factors that affect memory operator acceleration is the copy side is the key value when the copy side exceed a certain range back to 100 kilobytes we can expect benefit from DSA otherwise using CPU is a better idea so there's also an issue we're taking to consideration in our acceleration test then let's consider the issue of integration DSA provides two kinds of library allow us to offload the at two levels DML a library works at application level or using DTO shot for DSA transparent offload library at the library level the advantage of using DML is that we can precisely control every single copy but the drawback is you need very best knowledge on how acceleration can help as we say before in many cases it is not a good idea to offload small side copy and another downside is the modification to the code increase complexity and maintenance costs that may out of our control so what do you want to use is a transparent non-intrusive approach we hope that library works at a low level determine if each copy operation is suitable for acceleration if the copy side above the right hallway set offloaded otherwise give it back to CPU to do it and that is exactly how DTO works the DTO is preloaded with envoy by environment variable and intercept every memory copy function to G lip see all the copies are classified into two categories based on size small ones to CPU large one to DSA in the whole process we don't have to mess with the code and recompel it all the offloaded are transparent to envoy so that's the plan next let's see how we perform our tasks and what we got from the acceleration we design our tasks using tcp tapping with htp 1.1 protocol 1000 clients connect concurrently fills requested by client which is the body of the response from envoy ranging from 64 kilobytes to 1 megabytes in size we also use direct response which means the envoy response directly with the prepared fill in the ones instead of communicating with upstream cluster that will significantly increase the proportion of the memory copying overall process we have two groups one for cpu another using DTO with DSA the DTO threshold is set to 256 kilobytes which means it will only offload for copy size above 256 and for the result as shown in the diagram cpu got an advantage initially and the copy size increase the running neck and neck at 256 following that DSA got better latency than cpu which aligns with our prediction and understanding on DSA that we got more performance benefit from bigger copy size you might have questions about the performance difference below 256 since both are cpu-based operations why is such a difference observed i think that may comes from the interception overhead intercept and determine which way to use need to take some cpu resource and finally let's look at what would happen for hardware memory acceleration and what we can expect it first from a hardware perspective DSA is back to a persistent feature in future generation of xion products so it may be faster i'll support more upload operations that we can introduce into envoy for acceleration and second for envoy on a software level as a community is still exploring the potential of envoy many new scenarios and projects that can void gateway or something emerging so it would be reason to expect there are more suitable cases like cdn or something for void to do acceleration so that's all for my sharing thank you for your listening thank you for the kind listening and regarding the status so we had introduced an rfc a while back to upstream this tapping filter and unfortunately due to other commitments i couldn't continue with it at that time however we are planning to push it continue working on it soon and submit the patches but sometime in 2024 hopefully and yeah that's about it if there are any questions or comments we're kind of up against okay should we take one we're kind of up against time after that you might have to do the rest offline have you considered like more traditional sort of tracing you mentioned tracing quite a lot here but so so so that's why i'm asking like open telemetry tracer there are other http tracing plugins and envoy and if you have considered like why why couldn't you use them why why did you need to go into the route of actually you know tapping the full request um yeah so one reason because the distributed tracing requirements were slightly different than what we had in mind for this this particular tracing requirement was basically to be as low overhead as possible and to consistently give out the representation for the http request in a pgap or pgap ng format so that meant that we had to do quite a lot of post processing outside of envoy and so we needed to get some sort of a representation for that and the open telemetry based solutions didn't exactly fit this one so rather what fits that kind of a use case is really tapping sinks and so we had to use that cool thank you if there's any more questions i guess you'd probably have to catch to vote after yeah thank you so much but thank you great for the talk
