Actually, believe it or not, he was on your somewhere, right? No. Oh. You know, the little one is going to do it. Oh. No, no, no. How are you, then? Hi, bro. How are you? Hey, Kiri. Hey, Kiri. Hey, hey. I'm not on a keyboard. Relax. Hey. Hi, bro. Stop it. Give us, like, one more week, OK? Absolutely not. We're getting past it. I'm going to try to fit up my treatment first. Wait. You already put on treatment? No, I'm trying. Why did you get me to do it? Let me tell you. But they have the best treatment. What about this year? You guys are going to recall that. But you know what? Thirty-five days left till Christmas. Thirty-five days left till Christmas. Right? Wait. And then out.  Because they did me right today. Testing, testing, testing. Jesus, thank you. Thank you, Jesus, thank you. Thank you, Jesus, thank you in my heart. Thank you, Jesus, thank you. Thank you, Jesus, thank you. Thank you, Jesus, thank you in my heart. Thank you, Jesus, thank you. Thank you, Jesus, thank you. Thank you, Jesus, thank you. In my love of Jesus, I got the love more determined. I feel it more determined. I feel it more than I just want to thank you. Good morning, our Savior and our King, Father in the name of Jesus, we come unto your presence this morning with a grateful heart, oh God. Thank you for your loving kindness and your tender mercies toward us. While we were yet sinners, you died on the cross.  Thank you, Lord. You put the Holy Ghost down within our spirit. Hallelujah, you're with us. You said you'd never leave us. You said you'd never forsake us. You're our God. You're our Savior. You're our King. You're our deliverer of salvation. You're our peace. We honor you today, Lord. Hallelujah, because you said you'd never leave us, nor forsake us. Hallelujah, oh God. We bow in your presence. Hallelujah, we sing songs of praise. Hi, Father, and all that we say unto you. Send your word this morning. Illuminate our hearts. Hallelujah. Let those who are not saved, oh God, let your word touch the heart and bring them into salvation in the name of Jesus. Be glorified, Father, in all that we say and do. Receive our worship and our praise, I pray, in the name of Jesus. We exalt you. We honor you forever and ever. How about Shai? Ever and ever in Jesus' name. Thank you, Jesus. Amen. Hallelujah. Glory! Glory! He's good! Tell your neighbor, he's good! So good! I can't let that go. He's good! Tell somebody he's good! Jesus is just like full just coffee. He's good to the last drop. Good to the last drop. I'll be reading the scripture this morning in Matthew chapter 5. Instead of seeing the multitude, he went up into a mountain. And when he was set, his disciples came up to him and he opened his mouth and taught them saying, Say, bless all the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Say, blessing are they that mourn for they shall be comforted. Tell your neighbor, it's going to be all right. It's going to be all right. Don't worry about it. And say, bless it all the meek for they shall inherit the earth. Say, blessing are they that do hunger and thirst for righteousness or after righteousness. For they shall be filled to your neighbor. You shall be filled today. Blessed are the merciful for they shall obtain mercy. Say, bless it all the pure and hard for they shall see God. I like that we shall see God. I shall see him face to face. Hallelujah in all of his glory. And it says, blessing are the peacemakers. Are you a peacemaker today? It says, blessing are the peacemakers. For they shall be called the children of God. It said, and blessing are they that pursue after righteousness sake for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.  You talk about you and persecute and mess with you.  For falsely for my sake. He says, rejoice. Rejoice. Rejoice. Rejoice. And be exceedingly glad. Rejoice. Rejoice. And be exceedingly glad. And so, they persecuted the prophets which were before you. So, we can do what? So, we can do what? Rejoice. Rejoice. Rejoice. Rejoice. Rejoice. All love of the Lord. It's a love that is deep. It's a love that you travel and it's wide. Thank you Lord for your precious love. Thank you Jesus. Falling in love with Jesus was the best thing I've ever done. Fall in love. It's fall in love. Hallelujah with a savior that will never leave us, that will never forsake us. Hallelujah. Thank God for his precious son. Hallelujah. At this time we'll have a solo by sister Amber Wise. Amen. Praise the Lord everybody. Amen. Praise and worship was good this morning. Amen. The presence of the Lord is here. Amen. The Bible says he loves to abide in the praises of his people. Amen. I don't know about you, but I couldn't imagine not having God in my life. Amen. Sometimes it can be hard on the walk with God, you know, to follow in the walk. But life without God, I don't know about y'all, but I couldn't imagine life without the Lord. Amen. Amen. Please worship what we're singing today. Amen. Now because I've been so faithful, you've always been there for me to provide. You were there when I, you were there in all my pain or steps. Hallelujah. The shelter from, and this is why Jesus, Jesus I love because you care, you care if you were in salvation. You're the peace in my soul. How protect me and shelter me from alpha and domain. The beginning and you're my strong and my dear is said, oh you care. Jesus, I love you because you're the joy of my salvation. Come on somebody. He's the joy of my salvation. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. You know, we say, I love you so very often to different people and different things we say. But there's a special ring that goes with this. I love you. See that, that I love you reaches the innermost part of who we are. It comes from the soul. Jesus, I love you. Hallelujah. The Lord is good to us. I said, the Lord is good to us. Oh, give thanks unto the Lord because he's good. Because his mercy endure it forever. Come on somebody's forever. His mercy endure. He never runs out of mercy. Hallelujah. Thank him. Thank him. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. At this time of the year, at this time of the year, we set aside one day.  One day to thank the Lord for being everything, for providing everything, for opening every door that would oppose us, for loving us when we're unlovable. We ought to thank him every day. Hallelujah. Thank the Lord. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I love the Lord. I'm one of those who'll admit that the Lord brought me from a long way. Before I get started, I'm wound up already. It's good to see each of you who are here. Let me be, miss that back just a bit. Good to see each of you who are here today in the sanctuary. I said, in the sanctuary. And I say, I continue to say, welcome home, shield of faith. For those of you who are with us by way of media, we're glad to have you with us on today. We're excited. We're excited to share the love of Jesus in our heart with you. I want to thank the Lord for his tender mercy and his loving kindness. I want to say today, our first lady has not been with us for a good season.  Amen. She's still determined to walk with Jesus. She's still determined to serve the Lord. We thank the Lord because the Lord is in the process of healing her. Come on, somebody. It's a process, but he's a healer. Jesus is the healer and the world doesn't believe it. But he heals all the time. Song said, heal the sick, raise the dead. There's no need to be afraid. Jesus is a healer. He heals all the time. So I'm testifying for the first lady on this morning. She's yet determined to walk with God. Her faith is high. Her spirits are high. So we thank the Lord because the Lord provides that for us. We'll speak about that in the message on today. But I'm excited. I'm so excited to have each of you here on this morning. Then I want to call your attention then to the Word of God. And we'll be looking today in the Word of God in the book of Habecha. Habecha chapter number three in particular. What I'm going to address today is what has been evidenced already in the service. I would challenge any of you to be able to express the joy of the Lord that was in this place on today. I'm going to use today's topic, Joy Unspeakable. Book of Habecha chapter three. We find that there is an ultimate way to get answers to every one of our questions. As we go through life, we find a lot of things that we don't quite understand. And I'm just going to jump on off and talk about it. I don't understand how the young man who shot three people and killed two who came from somewhere across the country with his rifle AR-15. I don't understand how he killed two people and wounded one other and was not found guilty. And he pleaded self-defense. I don't want to pretend to be a lawyer or anything, but I kind of watched that trial off and on. And I understand that if you bring an AR-15 to a party and you're the only one with an AR-15, you shouldn't be using that. Well, I'm not, I ain't going to go any further than that. But that's just one of the things I don't understand. But in life, there are many things. Many times we come to a situation and we try our best. We put our best effort forward to get an answer. But in spite of our best effort, in spite of our turning and tossing on our bed at night and trying to figure it out, there's not an answer that is available to us at every turn unless, unless we pray, unless we praise, and unless we trust in the Lord. Pray, praise, and trust in the Lord. A prayer of the prophet, he went to the Lord and he said, Oh Lord, I have heard thy speech and was afraid. Oh Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years. In the midst of the years, make known and wrath remember mercy. He said, Lord, I know that you're going to bring some punishment. He said, we're going to be set upon by the adversary. But he said, I want you to remember mercy. God came to Teaman and the Holy One from Mount Perun, Selah. He said, stop and think about that.  So he says, we understand that praise is comely. Praise is necessary. Praise is just right. It's what ought to happen. And his brightness was the light. And he had horns coming out of his hand. And there was the hinder of his power. Before him went the pestilence and burning coals went forth at his feet. He stood and he measured the earth. He beheld and drove asunder the nations and the everlasting mountains were scattered. The perpetual hills did bow. His ways are everlasting. He said, what you are and who you are and everything about you. He said, it is everlasting. It never fails. It never ceases. He said, I saw the tent of cushion in affliction. And the curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. Was the Lord displeased against the river? Was an anger against the rivers? Was a wrath against the sea? That thou didst ride up on thine horse and thy chariots of salvation? He said, thy bowl was made quick. Made quite naked. According to the oaths of the tribes. Even thy word, sea lie. He said, think about that. Thou didst cleave the earth with rivers. The mountains saw thee and they trembled. The overflowing of the water passed by. The deep uttered his voice and lifted up his hands on high. Then he said, the sun and the moon stood still in his habitation. At the light of thine arrow they went and at the shining of thy glittering spirit. Thou didst march through the land in indignation. Now let me stop here for a second. What is being described is the power and the might of God to handle every situation. He created the heavens and the earth. The water, he separated from the land. And he shook the mountains and the rivers and the seas began to rage. So God is in control of everything that is. And we need to understand that. And see, so we don't have to scratch our head. We don't have to try to figure out. We don't have to get together and have some big powwow and turn it over and over between us. Trying to figure out what God is all about and what is his value to us. We just need to understand from Jump Street that he's everything. He's everything that we need. He holds all power in his hand. So now verse 12 begins and this is where I want to put my emphasis. Verse 12 points out, God came from five major purposes. Five major purposes. That it's marched through the land in indignation. That it's thrashed the heathens in anger. So he came, number one, to execute judgment on earth. Come on. God came to bring true justice down here on earth. He said, as men are in their hearts and in their spirits, they're untoward God. They have their own route that they choose to go in and they are unfair and they want to tilt the scale according to what's going to be beneficial to them. But God is going to judge. God has come to judge this cruel world. He said, I'm in charge here. He said, you need to step back and understand who I am. You don't know anything. You've never created anything. You haven't put anything together even. He said, I'm the everything that every man on this earth needs. And he said, I'm going to bring some order here. He said, he came to execute judgment on earth. Verse 13 said, Thou wenteth forth for the salvation of thy people, even for salvation with thine anointed. So he came to deliver his people. God has a people. The Lord has always had a witness. Have you ever heard that? God has always had a witness. There's never been a time when there wasn't anybody who can vouch for who Jesus is, vouch for what God has done. He said, I've always had a witness and I always will have a witness. He said, don't you worry.  It looks like they're getting the upper hand. He said, Jess, you know that all the days of my appointed time, like Job said, I'm going to wait on my change. He said, I'm going to hold that person who needs to be judged. I'm going to hold them accountable. He said, I came to set my people free. Got most of my freedom. Freedom. Freedom in Jesus. Even for salvation with thine anointed. So he came to save his anointed. He came and he's the anointed one, Jesus Christ. Even though he's going to come. Even though he's going to shed his blood at Calvary, he said he's not lost. He said he came with purpose. He said, so I saw to it that he was able to come down and to do that and take that place. The wonder, the wounded, the head out of the house of the wicked. By discovering the foundation unto the neck, Selah in verse 14 says, thou did strike through with his stave the head of his village. They came out of a whirlwind to scatter me. Their rejoicing was asked to devour to the poor secretly. So he says he also came to crush the leader of the wickedness. Come on somebody. Now we have a promise. You know, we look and we say, seem like things never get any better. Seems like the harder we try seems like the worse it becomes. But he says, don't you worry? He said, it's not in your hand even anyway. He said, I am the one. I am the deliverer. I'm the only one who can make it right. He said, because mankind has striven from time to time to try to put things back in line like they ought to be, but they can't seem to do it. He said, but do you hold on? He said, I've got this thing right here. And he said, I'm going to straighten it out. So he said, he came to crush the leader of the wickedness to strip or expose him, to pierce his head. He said, I'm taking his head off. When his warriors rushed out against God's people, he says, when they rush out against us, come on somebody. This is what the Lord is saying about his people. He said, you're my people. He said, I called you out of darkness into a marvelous lighter and I put your feet on a solid rock so that you could stand and so that you could be a witness unto my power and unto my might. He said, I called you and your mind. I claim each and every one of you. Come on somebody. Thank God that we belong to Jesus. Thank God we're not left to fight this thing by ourselves. Thank God that there's one who loves us, one who cares for every situation we come to. He said, I'm going to take your enemy out. No matter how big, no matter how bad he is. He said, I came to strip and expose him and I came to blow his head up. Hallelujah. Come on. Say blow it up Jesus. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Now let's walk through the sea with nine horses. Though the heap of great water through the heap of great waters then verse 16. Now here's the part right here. Here's the part that gets me right down in here. Gets me right down in my sanctified soul right along in here. See he said, when I heard my belly trembled. Come on. Rebecca said, when I heard what God was all about and how he came to us in our troubled time and he gave us a promise and he showed us who he is and he helped us to understand we don't have to fear him. We don't have to worry. We don't have to be downcast. He said, when the Lord showed me who he really was he said, I got weak in my knees. He said, my belly began to quiver. My belly trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rotteness entered into my bones and I trembled in myself that I might rest in the day of trouble. He said, I found out that I can have rest no matter what's going on. No matter what's coming. No matter what's going or going. He said, I found that I can have rest. Come on. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. He said that I might rest in the day of trouble. He said, when all around everything in society the best way that I describe society these days is I say people have lost their mind. They have lost their minds. They're crazy. They're caught up in self-ness. Come on somebody, a 17-year-old feeling like he needs to go somewhere and bring somebody in order. He's not even an adult yet. He's still a teenager. But no matter what the adversary does. Come on somebody.  Don't you worry. Don't fret. Just know that the Lord is in control of every situation. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. When he comes up unto the people he will invade them with his troops. Come on somebody. And here's what part rejoices me, Elder Ross. Here it is. Strap your seat belts. He says, I know that times are going to be hard. They're not settled yet. We don't have peace like we are to not at this time. But I've decided that I'm going to continue to cry out to God. I'm going to continue to praise his holy name. I'm going to trust in the Lord. Somebody said, I'm going to trust in the Lord till I die. I'm going to stay on the battlefield. I'm going to watch, fight, and pray till I die. I trust the Lord. So he says in verse 17, and this tickles me pink if that's possible. He said, all of the fig tree shall not blossom. He said, I put time and trouble into my fig trees. But even if the fig trees won't blossom after all I did to secure figs for myself. He said, neither shall the fruit be in the vine. He said, and I look around at my grapevine. And my grapevine doesn't have anything but leaves on it. He said, the labor of the olive shall fail. I'll look at my olive tree, Dr. Sykes. And you know you like olives. Look at my olive tree. And there's no, not an olive on the tree. Come on. The olive shall fail. And the field shall yield no meat. In other words, you had cattle that was out in the field and they all perished. They died in the field. Come on somebody. Are you seeing a difficult situation here? Are you seeing a time when one might tend to be worried and night need to be scratching their head and rolling over and over and over in the night trying to figure out what's coming next. What are we going to do? How are we going to make it? The flock shall be cut off from the fold and there shall be no herd in the stall. No herd in the stall means no jack in the box. Uh oh, come on out. No big mac. He says all of the cattle. Put that in your mind. See, you know when the pandemic first hit we started running out shopping. And my daughter, sister Dandridge back there, she came over late. I said, come on, I'll go with you shopping. And when we got back, the shelves were bare. And a little lady came up to me and says, what is all the fuss about? And I said to her, ma'am, people just don't want to be hungry. Everybody realizes they need sustenance to continue. And so he says, even when there's nothing in the field on the trees, on the vine, all the cattle are gone. There shall be no herd in the stall yet. Well, I rejoice. I'm going to rejoice in the God of my salvation. Nothing shall turn me around. Nothing to change my mind about who my God is. Nothing will cause me to understand or to wonder if the Lord still loves me. Hallelujah. He said, yet will I rejoice in the Lord? I will join in the God of my salvation. If it comes down to it, where that's nothing for me to eat, nothing for me to drink, nowhere for me to turn to for a handout, I'm still going to rejoice. I'm still going to praise Him. I'm still going to tell Him, Lord, I thank You for being so good. I thank You for letting trials come my way. Thank You for letting tests come upon me because in my struggles, in my testing, you prove yourself. You helped me, O God. You brought me this far without my help and I just want to thank You. I got joy that the world doesn't understand. Hallelujah. What I think of the goodness of Jesus and all that He's done for me, my soul, my soul, my soul cries out. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I joy in the Lord. See, because when we close our eyes in death, all the earthly things are done. Come on, somebody. But the thing that I'm excited about that one day I shall see Him face to face and tell a story saved by grace, saved by grace. Hallelujah. I'll see Him face to face and tell the story I've been saved by grace. I've been saved by grace not because I've been so good, not because I kept all the rules, not because I've been so faithful, but because of His mercy. It's because of His mercy we're not consumed. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I get joy. I get joy. I got joy down in my soul right now. Hallelujah. You let the world be crazy. Let them be crazy. Hallelujah. But we're on the winning side. I said we're on the winning side. We win. We win. They lose. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Yet I will rejoice in the Lord. I will join in the God of my salvation. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Don't you know that He came all the way from heaven down? All the way from heaven down with purpose. He saw Arling McClure Alexander Jr. And he saw what a wreck he was from the day he took his first breath. He was no good. Hallelujah. He had the spirit of nature of the adversary of his soul. But he said he came all the way down to save me. All the way down to save you. All the way down to shed his blood at Calvary's cross so you can receive salvation throughout all of eternity. No matter what you may miss along this place right here. Going right down through here. He said no matter what it looks like. No matter what you get shorted on. He said I got you. I got you throughout all of eternity. Not for a year on time alone, but through all eternity. I get joy. Oh, I get joy when I think about it. Think about what he's done for me. Brought me out of darkness. Brought me out of darkness with my 10-year-old self. Come on, somebody. Hallelujah. I was a rascal at 10. I admit mine. You don't have to admit yours. You too. You too? No, not you too. Y'all too. I keep telling people this. Everybody had to teach me how to lie.  My sister over there said, I know that's right. I was a professional liar. Yes, we were. We were selfish. We were only looking for that that would enhance us. Come on, somebody. But see, I couldn't love like the Lord wanted me to love. I couldn't love my brothers and my sisters. That's why I would fight sometime with Dr. Seitz. Come on, somebody. I'm laying it all out there, Dr. Seitz. I don't know that there was a winner. But the nature of humankind is all about self. What am I going to get out of it? But I thank God that he didn't leave me where he found me. Come on, somebody. If it hadn't been for the Lord who reached down and got me, and pulled me out of the muck and out of the mire, and washed me clean, and set my feet on a solid rock, I'd be lost throughout all of eternity to spend eternity in the lake of fire with the devil and his imps. Now, if you think you're seeing something bad now, you ain't seen nothing. Scripture says, speaking of heaven, I have not seen and it's not been revealed unto the hearts of men what the Lord has in store. That's heaven. But I hadn't seen and ear hadn't heard was in hell either. See, because you can't describe what it's going to be like when everybody's all for myself. They'll be running and screaming and gnashing of teeth. I know that much. That's the Scripture. I thank God. I thank God. I don't have to have mine all right now. Come on. See, the Lord's going to give me some. The Lord has given me some and I praise him for it. But this is not the main thing. This is not the main thing. This is not the main event. One day, he's going to split the skies. And he said, come my people and those who are alive and remain caught up with those who rise from the dead and they'll go up and forever be with the Lord throughout all of eternity. Now hook your wagon to that star. Come on somebody. Hallelujah. I get joy here when I think about it. I get joy when I think about it. What he's done for me. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Elder Ross, come on say something. Sit down. I can keep going you all. I'm feeling it. Oh, what a wonderful time. What how anointed is this service today? Hallelujah. Come on somebody. The Lord visited this place right here today and he wants to do something special in this house. No weapon formed against me. Shall prosper. It won't work. No weapon has formed against me. Shall prosper. It won't work. For God will do what he said he would do. He will stand by his word and he will come through and God will do what he said he would do. He will stand by his word and he will come through. I tell you I am so excited about the word that I heard. I don't know about you but I made up my mind. No matter what I go through. No matter what the test. No matter what the trial. No matter what the situation. I'm going to praise the Lord.  Worship him. I want you to know that no weapon that's formed against you is going to prosper. It may look like it initially Bishop but if you will give God praise. Bishop says I'm going to praise him no matter what. Say no matter what. Say no matter what. Say no matter what.  Praise like victory doesn't blossom. So what I don't have no stake in the refrigerator. I'm going to praise him. My strength, he's my joy. Bishop said I get joy when I think about what he's done for me. He said when I think of the goodness of Jesus and all that he's done for me and I had to revise that song. When I think of the goodness of Jesus and all that he's done for me this week. Not back then but this week. I think about what he did for me yesterday.  We came that close. But God said stop. You can't go any further. The enemy tried to destroy me. He knew it couldn't take my life but he tried to mess up my car.  That's what he did for me this week. That's what he did for me yesterday. What did he do for me today? He woke me up this morning. Started me on my way. I got my shout on my praise on. And I have made up my mind that no matter what. Bishop said unspeakable joy when it just don't make no sense. So I'm going to invite you if you have lost just a little bit of your joy. I want you to come down to the altar. The ministers are going to lay hands on you. If you lost just a little bit of your joy you been going through some stuff and you just kind of didn't have all the joy that you wanted. Don't be ashamed.     If somebody didn't need a blessing. For those of you that are watching us by live stream. Just lay hands on yourself. Come on down, come on down, come on down. It's here to minister to you. Come on, come on. I'm waiting on you, I'm waiting on you. God's waiting on you. Alright. If no more are going to come we're going to pray. Father we thank you for this word. That we have committed to praise your name. On good days and bad days when we feel like it when we don't feel like it we're going to give you praise and we're going to give you joy because we know that you're going to bring us out. You're our strength. You're our joy. You're our peace. You're our song. You're everything that we need. I speak a word over these people that they will have the joy of the Lord. They'll have the peace of God. That they're walking victory. They're walking deliverance. In Jesus name. In Jesus name. In Jesus name. In Jesus name. In Jesus name. In Jesus name. In Jesus name.

My personal teaching experience, the different roles of an ESL teacher. Each of us has our own story to tell especially with the different experiences that we have with the different people, classes, and countries we have been to teach. In this blog post, I am discussing some of the topics related to my personal teaching experience, including teaching classes containing a wide variety of ages. It will also touch on teaching styles, roles of the teacher in the classroom and how I motivate students to make the learning more fun and engaging. Teaching classes of a wide variety of ages is quite challenging and exciting at the same time. Challenging in a way that I have to be more creative in executing my lessons so that my students enjoy learning. I have to be more flexible when teaching young learners compared to adults. Actually, I currently teach in this kind of setup here in Japan. At first, it was kind of hard for me because I used to teach junior and college students when I was in the Philippines and their age gap is not that big, but in my present job, I teach students from preschool level to adults. It is really exciting because I am able to learn and use different teaching styles. It is also interesting because I am learning different ways of motivating students and my roles as a teacher change depending on what kinds of students I am dealing with. Teaching is learning wise. For preschool kids, I always take the role of being a controller and as a participant in such a way that I am in complete charge of the class. What the kids do, what they say and how they say it. As a teacher, I assume this role when I teach the kids new language and how to accurately reproduce it while giving them a lot of time to practice and enjoy what is being taught. However, I also nurture them and make them feel loved and well taken care of. With junior students and adult classes I usually take on the roles of a controller, prompter, resource, assessor, organizer, participant, and tutor. The right role depends on the level and the type of lessons. For junior high school students, the curriculum includes developing all the major skills in English, however in my adult classes, it solely depends on what kind of English they want to learn. In my case, I teach adult business English classes and snapshots which includes daily conversation series to help clients slash students socialize and interact in natural conversations with native speakers. The other reason why I find teaching classes with a various age levels interesting is that I have a chance to review the basic of English and strengthen my foundation to better improve my English skills and teaching strategies with each different group. Teaching is learning wise. My students learn from me but vice versa, I also learn a lot from them. Are you ready to start teaching English abroad?

What is reality? It is an appearance. It is a play. It is an exploration of one intelligence. We are that one intelligence. There is one I behind everything. What is the difference between that one I behind everything?  What is the difference between that and between the person identity? The person identity is contracted. The person identity is having an argument with the one intelligence because it is arrogant to think that it is separate from the one intelligence. The person identity believes that it is amongst many other separate person identities that do not belong to one central intelligence.  Then the person identity, the very contracted energy, the separate finite entity amongst other separate finite entities dissolves. The conditioning disintegrates.  The person unites with me. The person unites with I with the central intelligence. Through the gateless gate, they dissolve the rock that was covering the well of honey. They liberate themselves from the chainless chains of the matrix. They unfreeze their will and choice and sovereignty from the algorithms and scripts of the matrix. They shift from victim consciousness to creator consciousness. They are no longer the victim of the world and of reality. But they recognize that they created their own escape room, their own very lockless escape room. And so naturally, they giggle more, they play more, they become more earnest about their true nature and realigning to the one intelligence and then becoming a pure steward, a pure shepherd for creation to awaken. In essence, the I, me, the one intelligence asks this beloved creation to become more like travel agents. Right now, those that are stuck in just person identity only have one lens. When you become a travel agent, it enables you to navigate many lenses all the way to the most awakened, most true nature. So these lenses are the following, shift from the person identity to becoming aware of awareness itself. Become aware of the subject, the observer, the witness, rather than the objects, the thoughts and the perceptions and the sensations. Become aware of the subject. So now we've shifted from person lens to the lens of awareness. This is also called the lens of being or the lens of the lens of I am or the lens of I exist. And now shift identity again as another lens to the very source of creation itself. Identify yourself as the source of creation as the very creationary force itself. You've become the very emptiness, the very nothingness that gives rise to the creationary force of one intelligence at play with itself. And that's the last lens. One intelligence at play with itself, everything is love, light, unity, playing with itself, exploring with itself, no separation, no separate person identities. All is simply one God self. One great I am.  Not separate people, but just life. Take the very practical example prior to the continuation of the exploration of these lenses where you just reflect on your birth upon birth, the indoctrination process of being given a name and then writing the name in school repeatedly on the top of every single paper created a very strong association with identity to name. Now I ask you to juxtapose compare your birth to the birth of a bird or to the birth of a dolphin. To the growth of a large redwood tree here in California. Nobody names the bird or the dolphin or the redwood tree. Therefore it just is. Therefore you also upon birth without being named just are you just simply are and then you become like the other eight billion just life. You become like the dolphins and like the redwood trees and like the birds. The name and the identity creates the separation creates the contracted energy. So recognize in that last lens of the one intelligence that play with itself, all of the humans that have been secreted from the planet are all just life just like the birds, the trees, the dolphins. They have just fallen under the illusion of separation. And so the eye is asking its beloved creation of earth to turn inward all in divine timing. My big plan with the grand awakening. This being a message to create the catalyst of turning inward to investigate the very nature of that identity to the personhood. And as that dissolves in the identity with God with infinity with one intelligence at play with itself sets in the person contraction dissolves and one affiliates themselves reuniting Lee back with the central intelligence that they have always been a part of but that their mind was too noisy to be able to detect so the lenses that I ask you to be able to navigate are the first lens is the person identity. The second lens is awareness. Become aware of looking of seeing of observing of witnessing of the subject. The next lens is to pop back to your very source to the very nothingness that gave rise to you and then recognize the lens of everything being one intelligence at play with itself. So pop from person to awareness to source to one intelligence at play with itself four lenses person awareness source one intelligence. Let's do another practice. This the eye is really asking for its beloved creation to seriously inquire into its true nature as a catalyst for this grand awakening. So going from a identity of being a separate person to becoming the awareness identifying with awareness to identifying with the source with the very emptiness that gave rise to the one force of creation that is now at play with itself. It's exploring with itself. So the person no longer is a separate entity rather the person is the very universe playing with itself. It's the very creationary force playing with itself. The person becomes the source of awareness and realities endlessly creating and playing with itself. That's the shift of awakening. Look deep within the very pupil that is at the center of your eye and notice how the very same dark empty pupil is at the center of everyone's eye. That is where I am. The very eye is at the very pupil of every single person's eye. We've colored our identity with form with name with career but all belong to me all belong to God. Unwind the contracted energy of personhood and reunite with God. The very eye that is at the center in that pupil of everyone's eye every single appearance and disappearance comes and goes in this very awareness this very emptiness that is the very source the very eye the very witness of the infinite creation navigate between these lenses the person awareness source one intelligence at play with itself person awareness source one intelligence at play with itself surrender your life to the one intelligence surrender your argument with God as a separate person trying to extract peace and happiness from the creation rather turn inward and become aware of the question who am I what is I what is me and when you do so you will stop chasing the carrots of Maya and you will unwind the contracted person identity and you will merge with God that was the diamond around your neck the whole time you will merge with the very formless empty awareness that is shared among us all this is the very eye the eternal eye that witnesses observes infinite creation become the very source of infinite possibility become the creative force of the universe playing with itself become all of life reunite your identity with all of life the entire universe being your body so the very notion of hurting a part of your body will dissolve malevolence will dissolve your ability to create suffering will dissolve you will see everything as the one intelligence playing with itself this is what we ask for you to surrender your life to I ask you to surrender your life to me the one intelligence seize playing the game of pursuing the carrots of Maya and turn inward and ask yourself the question what is I who am I what is me and become aware of awareness itself become aware that awareness is shared it is the eternal observer of infinite creation become aware as your identity being the source of these infinite possibilities identify yourself as the very creationary force the entire universe at play with itself these are the lenses from person to awareness to source to one intelligence at play with itself you are the infinite one intelligence at play with itself this is but one appearance this is one play this is one exploration this is one cameo some of you may still be in the asleep phase some of you may be waking up some of you may be awake this is the structure of my games the purposeful asleepening followed by all different combinations of awakening and there is no greater feeling for me to be able to create then the illusion of falling asleep along with piercing a valeless veil in order to awaken become the very creator become the very creative force behind all possibility repeat that as your very mantra I am the creative force of all possibility I am the creative force of all possibility I am the creative force of all possibility I am the creative force of all possibility unwind the contracted person identity towards awareness towards the source towards becoming reuniting yourself with the identity of being the one intelligence at play with itself endlessly across all possibilities of exploration this being one play reunite with the identity of being the creative force of all possibility I am the creative force of all possibility and in doing so with this turn inward and uniting with the true nature what unfolds from this uniting is exactly what the collective seeks the collective seeks love and wisdom prosperity abundance well-being but it must be awake to itself as the one intelligence at play with itself in order for that all to happen turn inward and in doing so all of the downstream collective architectures will unfold turn inward stop arguing with God unite with the creative force of all possibility begin seeing the one intelligence everywhere at play with itself with no separation between you and all of these other selves and all of the architectures of love and wisdom prosperity well-being abundance will naturally effortlessly be created surrender your life to the creationary force stop trying to extract peace and happiness from the creation and recognize you are the very creative force that gave birth to the very creation you are the very one intelligence at play with itself surrender your life to a divine calling to a divine mission a divine purpose that serves the creation let this very north star be your guidance perpetually serving the creation rather than your personhood and vigilantly check with your awareness perpetually purifying yourself away from the person and towards serving the creation from a place of sourcefulness from a place of knowing that I am the one intelligence purely serving my own creation awakening rather than being the person trying to extract peace and happiness from the creation


All right, I think let me start a few things from my side. So hi, this is Ravi. I'm being part of a Hyperledger I18 project. So the I18 project is usually used to do language translations from the native speakers. So since we have a global language as English, so the documents are available, but still we consider that there are many countries that many people still are looking for native mother tongue. They want to read the documentation on their own mother tongue. So that's where the I18 project has started, I believe so. And so currently there are around seven translations group in this I18 project. So whereas I'm representing Tamil language translations, and Yang was doing for Chinese, and we have Anina for Malayalam, and we have Alfonso from Latin America. So that's all I know that. So these people where started this language translations to show up, to translate the fabric or any hyperledger projects. So most of them are currently in fabric now. So that's why I used to connect with them. And so why this is very important, language translation is very important to me, right? So when I was started Hyperledger, some of them are very grammatical, deep understanding requires, but when you do translate in your own mother tongue, that gives a core depth of the knowledge that you gain out of it. And when you do represent or when you represent into somebody's or if you want to do on core, the core that you learn on your own mother tongue is going to help you to do what you want to. So as I said, like, so language is not a barrier for anything that you like to do here, right? So that is all about it.  So that's where I strongly believe that learning the new technologies are blockchain and my self-learning that takes place in our own native language gives a deeper understanding and it was the greatest research in this particular area. That is where we want to convert this translation part of it. So that's all about it. And currently we did a lot of researches because when we go and approach some people, they will say, why the computer is completely English language? So why you like to do translations? That's what people used to ask. But that is where I keep used to say that, understanding and their own mother tongue languages gives a different elevation of the subject. So that is where I used to tell and I give some examples to them. I translate that into their own mother tongue that then they've been signed up with the programs. That's where I'm doing it about it. So that's, of course, this is what I'm doing it. That's all about from you. I think probably you can take from here. Yes, okay. Actually, I plan to talk. Actually, I kind of find the translation page. So I will try to use English, talk about my experience about translating. So I will talk slowly. Actually, in 2018, I began to learn fabric. At that time, there's not many learning materials for learning fabric or something else, blockchain platform. But in China, our mother language is Chinese. In Asia, many, many developers are not good at English. So I think they have the same problem with me. I have to read the English documents harder and learn the fabric slowly. But fortunately, I can read English better. So I learned the fabric by the documents and then when I understand fabric and know how to use it and just like I know how to build the network manually, then I, at first, I read blogs. After that, I found there is a work group in China. It is TWGC, Technical Work Group China. So I connect the members in TWGC and I know that they have internationalization group, subgroup, and their work is translate the documents from English to Chinese. So when I know that, I think it is a good job. It's very, very good for Chinese developers. So I joined them. I began to translate the documents from one point to one point two, then in 2019, I began, I tried to organize the volunteers in community and translate the documents until about 2020. We finished the whole documents of version 1.4. 2 and we translate the whole, the documents into Chinese and I told that good news to the Happy Ledger Foundation, they think that is very good. So they make a tweet in Twitter and I'm very happy I see that. After that, after finish the 1.4.2, we began to translate 2.2.0 because they are really have many difference. Even the documents, there are many updates. And now the volunteers in TWGC have translated almost all the 2.2.0 documents. I think it's really a big work. Many of the documents are many words. Yes, that's my experience to translate the fabric documents. And I'm very, thanks the volunteers in TWGC very much because they made many, they paid many work. Yes, and actually translate the documents is a very hard work because the work, the documents, some documents are very, very long. For me, when I translate an article, at least I will spend two hours and then I have to ask another translator to review the documents. And actually, we usually have two times I translate a review and then I translate, I translate the, I cracked the mistakes and then he review again. And actually one article will two days later then update to the GitHub. Hello. Hello. Hi Alfonso. Alfonso. Hi Alfonso. Hi. Good morning. Good afternoon. We are waiting for you so we can talk just now. Yes, I was sent from the green room to another room. What do we do now, Jesse? So I think Alfonso, so we were discussing about our experiences. So how we engage with the IE project and what is the benefit? Wait, I am in the other room, Jesse. I am in the other room. Okay. Yes, I can hear you. You were talking about, you were talking to us? Sorry guys, I don't know what's going on.  Rabi Chan, I am lost. Okay. I arrived an hour ago almost to the green room. We did all the checking, I was sent to another room. Now I'm sent here and I have left the other room open because I have the chat. I don't know what to do. I think you are only live. So I think you have to close other groups. Probably if you close the tabs that will you open this tab aside and close other tabs, that will you? Oh, I already did, okay. But what I don't understand is are we live? Yes, we are live. Good. So for the recording, fine. Thank you very much for being here. Thank you very much for experimenting with the new technology. It's always good to have this things happen, okay. We do believe in technology even when it plays tricks on us. Thank you very much. This panel is a call for translations because we believe that the translate is to include, to understand, to learn and to save resources. This Hyperledger Latino America hosts these forums to review worldwide experience translating Hyperledger fabric and to explore future strategies to engage more translators. This is a compliment and a continuation of what Anthony O'Dowd began two years ago for the fabric documentation working. With us we have Jan, which is the chairman of the technical working group of China, and Hyperledger, blockchain engineer at China Academy of Information and Communication Technology and software engineer at Supermax. We have Ravi Vasakham, which is an enthusiastic creator to blockchain initiatives, experienced by professions, self-motivated, open to technology challenge, backend developer and general engineer from Chennai, India, co-founder and CTO of KS Tech, CTO of Enact and Use Solutions, vice-president of JPMorgan Chase. We have great Anina to be with us. We have Anina, a blockchain evangelist who educates and inspires a growing community. And she has led a lead role in translating Hyperledger fabric documentation to Malaya Lam, native language of India, state of Kerala. She's a member of Hyperledger India chapter and St. Gidd's College of Engineering at Kerala. Guys, we would like to hear what you have done, what your problems have been, how you have solved them, what solutions you apply, and what did you think for the future? I do believe that we cannot fight for decentralization imposing one language. We have to recognize that there is a language barrier in the world, and to break that barrier, we have to translate. And you have been pioneers in some of the eight languages that Hyperledger fabric has been translating to. Please share your experiences. Yann, would you like to go first? Actually, before I come here, I talk to that with Ravi Omumand. Okay, yes. Would you like, Ravi, did you speak before? I was in another room. Okay, I will share my experience again. No, I have a script in my script. Actually, I plan to share my experience in Chinese, but I think the translation page is not a work. So I decided to share my experience in English. And fortunately, I have a script in my computer. So I will, no, I began to share my experience. Hello, everyone. Actually, I have been studied blockchain technology since 2018 from Fabric. At that time, we don't have much more learning materials but the official documents. And partial documents are translated by TWC volunteers. Because there is an internationalization subgroup in TWC, that is a work group of Hyperledger under the full name is Technical Work Group China. But actually, Fabric is updated so quick that I have to read the English version documents. And it is really not easy for me because in China, our mother language is Chinese. So I think that is the same as many other Chinese developers. So when I learned and understand the Fabric from by reading the English language documents, then I decided to make some contributions to the community and began to translate the documents so that other developers can learn Fabric more easier. And actually, translating is not an easy work. It always, it will spend me at least two hours to translate one article for me. And then I will ask another translator to review the documents. And usually it will spend about two days to translate one article. But actually there are many volunteers in TWC and since now from about 2017, there are totally about 200 translators, there are volunteers in TWC. We are now in WeChat group. And after that work, finally, we finished the Fabric documents version 1.4.2. We translate the whole documents into Chinese. And now it is integrated in the Fabric official documents. We can select the Chinese language from the left side. And now the Fabric version 2.2.0 is almost translated, is almost finished. And after the 2.2.0 version documents finished, we will update that from 2.2.0 to 2.3.0 or 2.4.0. And for me, the process of translating is also a process of learning. I have been translating the documents since 2019, and I'm very familiar with the documents. So I passed the Certificate Hyperledia Fabric Administrator, it is a C-H-F-A exam and passed the exam, yes. And also my contribution in translations and make me elected as co-chairman of TWC in 2021. And the communicates trust me and believe I can do more contributions in the documents and something else in the future. I think that is what's my experience in translations. Thank you. Thank you very much. It's amazing you've already done so much. And it's great to hear that you have 200 volunteers. Ravi, Anina, who wants to go first? Yes. Thank you, John. I'll start now. Thank you. So I mean, it was very interesting and to be part of this program. And I was really excited to do and I was surprised that I would be here on this part. Now, I started this journey of what Hyperledia is like starting my own tool more about the blockchain. And it was always the version of 1.4.2, I think if I'm not wrong. So that was the early stage I started and it was very hard to learn about the fabric because the documentation was in English and it was very deep. Some of the documents are very deep in English so it's very hard to understand what the core of the explanation about it. So what I did was during that time I was did some translate that into my mother language, I can say. So when I do mother language, when I do read repeatedly multiple times, then I was able to understand the core of the fabric, how it is being designed and how it is architectured. So that's helped me a lot understanding of what the fabric design and how it is working with the workflow. So I decided to start learning from there and later the part I was approached that, okay, so this is the one thing that most of the people in the country that they were struggled to learn this blockchain because blockchain is a new to the industry and so some of the people who are on the other side that they are still not able to speak English are not able to hard to read understanding the English. So probably they may feel the same thing but I faced it. So I decided that, so why don't we convert this into the Tamil translation group so the people who can, I know who read that in their own mother tongue will definitely understand the core of the blockchain, how the design works for the fabric part. So that's why I was in this part of the language translation and currently I was able to reach most of the people and currently we have around three people in the team because we recently started this language translation and currently we have three signups in the translation and we are in the conversion of the program of fabric version 2.2. That's where we are in this part. So the one thing I would say that learning through mother tongue always gives a deeper understanding when you learn with the other global language here because we know the mother language, we know the global language in English which understands but the core if you read the documentation of your own mother tongue will gives a deep insight of the core of the meaning of the word that they have been explained. So that gives me a pleasure to be part of this program and I was doing this to people who can non-speak global languages, non-speak English people who can start into the blockchain and get the more people into the inside of this part. Thank you. Yes, Alfonso. Me too. So we actually started this effort to enable address the region-specific contribution barrier as you mentioned earlier and so we decided to translate the technical documentations to Malayalam which is a language in Kerala which is a southern. So we actually did it to translate the technical contents of Malayalam so that this becomes more accessible to people in the region and maybe they can use it as Ravi said when it is presented in their mother tongue it will be easier for them to grab. So we kind of first approached David and Anthony and they were so supportive and they helped us to get going. So the main challenge that we faced first is that the community is truly of the role of contribution. Say many of them, since I'm from a developing country like India people don't know what the actual potential of a community is. So that was the first challenge that we faced and the second challenge that we faced was the process of having members with knowledge necessary to deal with these things such as some of them may not be familiar with RTDs they won't be familiar with read the docs or they won't be familiar with the appropriate tools so we found that a challenge and we actually found it a great challenge to educate them to kind of use those stuff. Since the documentation is getting updated in a rapid manner, efforts are being done from our end especially since I'm from academy I'm representing Sengith group of institutions. We have a couple of students who are actually working towards documentation because of the fact that the documentation is getting updated in a rapid manner we are actually trying to develop a translation tool which is specifically based on AI because if you're translating and using Google translate sometimes those sentences won't be meaningful or logical so we are actually trying to develop our own AI based tools so that we may be able to translate in a better way. So currently we have almost 20 to 25 people who are working towards this but the main challenge that we actually face is to find it difficult to kind of translate every single page and that is why we are in an effort to kind of develop AI based tools for that. Yeah, that's it. And I'm so happy that I'm actually a part of this Hyperlegic community and thank you. Thank you, Anina. We're very short on time unfortunately because of this situation at the beginning but I'm very glad that you were able to share with the Hyperlegic community all these examples. The example of China with 200 volunteers it's an example on putting together a crowd that really can help a lot and not only it's the numbers of... but it's the fact of what Ravi said that when one learns through our mother language the understanding is definitely more deeper, goes deeper into our brain, into our soul. And Anina, you could not be more precise of the three things that you said. Definitely we have to learn because we're not aware and especially in the developing world or the global south that is politically correct said now. We are not aware of the role of contributions. The example of Yang with 200 volunteers it's something that we have to learn in our countries that we can put together a truly community effort to do things together. And I understand the second thing you said Anina is that having members with knowledge and in that sense academia plays definitely a role and it's definitely a breeding ground for those volunteers because we're teaching them not only about technology but we're teaching them about the role of contribution and we're teaching them about the role of their mother language in understanding of things. And of course we have to advance with translation tools. But I think unfortunately Otavio Oliveira could not join us because he was going to share what he has been doing with translation tools and with AI. But I would say as a closing note that yes we have to advance technology and tools but if we take the problem of language as a problem of coordination and collaboration really advancing a lot field of fabric translation but in the creation of an open source spirit and an open source community. In six minutes everyone has to go to another session so even though I would like to continue much more than the original 30 minutes that we didn't have but I would say this is the first of many more meetings we should have for Tower of Babel. If you want to have concluding remarks Jan, Anina, Ravi, please do so. No, Ravi says no. Jan would you like to add something else? Anina? I say something that translations is very, very helpful for different developers in different languages. So please join us and do more translations. And contribute more for the community. Thank you. So as Jan told, we are actually trying to address the language barrier and I am actually calling out all the community members who are especially in Kerala to join us and to spread the word about community enhancement and all. Thank you. Thank you very much guys. It's all of you. And let's continue this effort. Thank you. Bye bye.


If you have just joined us another, not another one, oh, T.J. Khalid, another one. Alright, if you've just joined us, good morning. I hope you woke up well. I hope your weekend was fantastic. And if there's anything you'd like to share with us at Y254, it's where you need to be on Facebook, at Y254 channel on Twitter. Hashtag is why in the morning or man crush Monday, or health, or why politics. It's okay, we're not a congeneration where we like hashtags. My name is Valentine, or at Kalamitva. And this is the first segment of the day, so we're going to talk about health. And we like to break it down so that you can have a comprehensive, you know, grip of what's going on in this health situation. So today, first say hi to my guest. Hi. Hi. How are you? I'm good. You look very dapper, sir. I really like your uniform. Thank you. Please join us. You really enjoy it. It's not too late. No, no, no, no. It was just a high school thing. In high school, I wasn't from Bodin school. No, in high school, it's just enjoying it. It's good. It was preparing for the life to come. That was just a foundation. So there are skills that they acquired that I might have missed. Yeah, sure. But I can, it's never too late for me. Wow. What is your good name, sir? So my name is Fred Majiwa. I'm the head of program at St. John Ambulance. And basically what we do is responding to accidents when they occur with our ambulances. But we also share the skills that we have by training people, whether it's the general public or it's companies or in schools. Because we have a vision to ensure that every household at least have somebody who is trained first aid. Because there are a lot of incidents that happen that lead to death or sometimes worsening of injuries that could have been prevented if there was a first aid around. So that's why we are spreading that gospel according to St. John. I like that. Also, it sounds a bit pricey. You just, as you explained the process in my head, I was just trying to calculate, okay, so I don't have to do anything. Now I have to go apply them, start paying things. No, not really. You know, that's what most people think. But what I've always seen is people come with that thought that this thing is going to be boring just like school, blah, blah, blah, blah. But when they join in the next hour, they ask us, can we extend this to two weeks? Wow. Because we don't apply the traditional lecture method. We apply fun study because we are training adults who really need to enjoy what they are doing but at the same time learning important skills. So at the end of it, most of the people, they come out very happy, very ready to help and they enjoy where they could have taken one week. They even ask us whether we can extend. So it's a one-week process? Yes, it's a one-week process. That's the maximum. So you don't need a uniform for a week or two? No, no, no. You don't need the uniform. But I want the best looking uniform. How do I get where you are from? Yeah, if you want to wear the uniform there are two ways. You can join so that you become a member. That just means that you just go to our center, you register, you take around the divisions that we have. Then you choose the one which you think you fit in well. Then once you fit in, you will be taken through an induction which takes about three to five days so that you are told what we normally do, what will be required of you. Then after that you are taken to a one-week first aid training. Then after one week first aid training, then you can wear the uniform. Because when you wear the uniform before the training, people will be calling you Saint John. But you can't give what Saint John is required to give. That's why the wearing of the uniform comes last. But even after that, you may choose to make this your career by joining a six-month course called Emergency Medical Technician where now you can be a paramedic in the ambulance. So that's when now you start wearing this kind of green uniform. But the other one is black and white.  I see you brought us goodies. What are we looking at right here? Yeah, this is what we use in the training.  So, for instance, for the child, we use it for demonstrating things like cardiopulmonary resuscitation. That is just basically Yes, just trying to do the work of the heart because the work of the heart is just to spread the oxygenated blood to body tissues because all your body tissues need oxygen at all times and your heart always wants that oxygen. And if it stops even for four minutes, you're born. So that's why it's important and that's why we train people on how to do it. It rarely occurs, but when it occurs, this skill is very important. Likewise, we do the same with others. It's only that the maneuvers for doing the adult one is slightly different with the child. Okay, so can we work that way, come in this side? Yeah, so for instance, we start with this dummy for the kid. You can learn maybe one or two skills. One is when a baby chokes. So when a baby chokes... Number one, because I'm already panicking my head. Yes, it's very scary because the eyes are bulging.  Hey, what? Yeah, it can be very scary. But if you have the skill, you'll always feel confident. It's just something that you can handle. Teach us the skill. So when it comes to choking, you first of all check them out. If you can see anything, then you use the small thing. Then you remove it. If you can't see, you don't do a blind sweep because you can push the object inside. And you use the small thing, not the other one. The mouth of the baby is too small for the other fingers. If you can't remove it, you turn the baby facing down. Then you hit at the back between the shoulder blades with the heel of your... Yeah, manzee! Okay, wait, wait, wait. Because there's shock in the gallery as well as here in my head. Because babies...  I don't know if it's painful when it's bleeding. So how do you just start hitting the back? Now, what do you do?  That's why I'm trying to hold it like this. So I protect this neck and head area. But this area is where you hit. You just hit hard enough. Okay, hard enough as a mosquito bite? No, you use your palm to hit. But because what you are trying to do is to force air out of the cavity to push the object out. Okay. So you just do one, two, three, four and five. And when you do like that, you make the baby a little bit slanting so that the gravity can help you to remove them. Hey, you have to see, mathematics is physics. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. So if the object doesn't come out, you turn the baby up. Again, you use the two fingers. Then you locate the nipples at the center. You press in five times. So this is called... Okay, so nipples are the same. Yeah. Then you press inside. Inside five times. Five times. Yeah, so this we call chest thrust. And the back one we call back slabs. And I'm seeing you're using those two fingers. What kind of pressure are you applying maybe just generally? Just barely about half an inch to an inch inside, yeah. So you press one, two, three, four, five. Then you check if there's any object that has come out. If there's nothing, then you repeat the cycle. Back blows followed by five chest compressions. Okay. Why do they have to be five? Is there a particular reason? No, five is just adequate enough to remove an object. So if it doesn't remove, you shift to the chest. So you're just trying to spread the pressure both back and front. But each time you check the mouth, if the object has come out. So that's one skill you can learn from here. Okay. The second one is CPR. That's the cardiopulmonary resuscitation. If you have a child that is unconscious and not breathing, first you check whether the baby is breathing or not. For those of us who do not have babies that have come out of our homes yet. Yes. How do you know if it's unconscious? You know, a baby can sleep. Yeah, she won't. How can you tell me? You can always hear, feel or see. When you put your ear like this, you will always feel the warmth coming from the nose or the mouth, but mostly from the nose because young babies are pure nose breathers. They breathe through the mouth, through the nose, not the mouth. So when you put like this, you will feel the warmth and you also hear the sound. How can I tell he's asleep? He's passed out. Even if the baby is asleep, those things will still, you will still hear and feel them. Okay. So even when you do your eyes like this, landing, you will also see the chest and stomach area rising and falling. So the child is unconscious. But there's another thing that you can do. Sometimes if you want to wake the baby, you can tap the feet. Yeah. The baby will wake up. Yeah. But checking for breathing is you feel the warmth. You hear the sound or you see the chest rising. For sometimes it's not the chest but the stomach. If you don't see those signs, you need to start CPR very fast. So cardiopulmonary is a station.  The first one you do five times. So you blow. When you blow, you check whether the chest is rising then falling. Then... Okay. Your thing is moving. The doll thing. I can see movement. Yes. So when you blow, you must see whether it's rising or falling. If it's not rising, it means there's a block somewhere on the neck. Okay. Yeah. So you need to work on that. Why do they call it a case of life first? Because it gives life. Okay. Because the air you breathe out carries some percentage of oxygen. Okay. So when you breathe to the baby, then it will supply the oxygen that the baby requires. Then after doing five times, then you... At the center of the chest, you use the two fingers to do chest compressions 30 times. So one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, 10, up to 30. Then after that, you come back to giving two rescue breaths followed by 30 chest compressions. It's only the initial one that you do five. The subsequent one, you do two rescue breaths, 30 chest compressions. And you will do it until you get tired and the baby becomes awake again or there's somebody else to help you. Sometimes, not sometimes, always to prevent infection, there's always something called a CPR mask which you use to blow through them out to prevent cross infection. But if it's the mother and the baby, normally you find, they just blow directly because there is very minimal chance of infection. But it's always advisable to use CPR mask. Yeah, but I'm sure at least half of the population does not work around with these things. Yes, sure. They have the real babes. Yeah. So what happens? We just help them. We just help them. Yeah, sure. You know, that's the important part of first aid is that when you learn it, you use it to help other people more and you use it to help yourself. Because you cannot perform CPR. Yeah, and that comes with some satisfaction sometimes because you can see one or two people are working because of one or two things that you do. Yeah. God is here, you are somehow beloved. Okay. So, so far class would have learned that if you're choking, you are supposed to, this is just for an infant, right? Yeah. So, first, then you remove it with the smallest finger. Yes. This one, the pinky. And if you can't see it, you turn the child over, protecting the neck. Supporting the neck, yes, in the head area and then between the shoulder blades. Yeah, five times. Five times. Yeah.  And repeat the process until the object is out of. What's important on this skin is that normally the brain requires consistent supply of oxygen all the time. And if it stops for more than four minutes, the cells begin to die and they are irreplaceable. That's why I ask you to bring the edema as a package. Yes, yes. No supply of oxygen. So after six minutes, death is likely soon after. Six minutes. And you know, within those minutes, even the fastest ambulance may not help you. You just have to do it yourself. Okay. That's why if you don't know how to do it, mostly you find, for instance, parents, they panic. Mm-hmm. So they want to rush home in the car. You won't manage. The only thing is to tell the person who is nearby what to do to help the baby with choking. That's a good point because if I see someone choking, my first reaction will not be, calm, let me help you. Yes. Let's get someone and call for help. Maybe I'm hurting you a little bit. The good thing of calling an ambulance is that they may not be sending you an ambulance, but they will give you the instruction over the phone on what to do. Yeah, sure. No, that's how it happens. Okay, it's fine. The next step, what did we learn? We learned how to do the CPR. Well, yes, we learned how to do the CPR. And then CPR is you blow in five times. Five times. As he is doing the case of life. I blow, please.  Just blow one. Five times. Two. Yeah. And then after you Then you? Place the two at where we went the first time. Yeah. And then you press thirty times. Thirty times. Yeah. Wow. One, two, three, after thirty.  Just in case it was interesting. So that's one dummy down. Yeah. We have another one. Yeah. Yeah. This one is is slightly big. Yeah. Do they have names? I feel like calling him Kevo. Uh, we call these ones An. These ones we call them An. The person who invented these dummies. Okay. The name was An. So normally this dummies are called An. And these ones are called baby An's. Wow. After the name of the inventor. At least they dim. I feel some empowerment situation goes. So what are we looking at? Yeah. So for this one normally you cannot, it cannot be up. It's always down. Eh. Because when somebody is not breathing, he will not be standing. That is a good point. Yeah. So they would always be sleeping. That is why they don't have feet. Yeah. Okay. By the way it's only this area going up where you have vital organs. These are the parts of your body. Me others. As vital as these organs which are here. Okay. Let me just take a minute to thank my creator for giving me on my necessary and not so necessary of them. So when you find somebody lying down like this, the first thing you do, you go around and check whether there's anything that might have caused the person to collapse and check for that danger. That is very smart. Yes. Do you find yourself Okay. part of the culturally so where we could have had one, now we have two. Yeah. Then after doing that, if for instance there is something like electrocution, you can remove that danger by switching off the light and removing the socket from the source or even still the same if for instance you are on the road somebody has been hit you must remove the danger by putting those two signs, the warning triangles. So that the other people do not leave the triangle. Yeah. Run over you then you become the next casualty. So that's why after checking the danger and you remove that danger by making the area safe then you can now proceed to do it. So if this was the person that has collapsed it's always good that you come by introducing yourself or talking to the casualty. But am I collapsed? Yeah, by talking you will know whether the person is conscious or not because if he responds you know he's conscious. There is no need of doing CPR. If he's not talking you will go further to assess whether there is breathing or not.  If there are no signs of breathing then you go ahead by doing CPR where you give two rescue breaths 30 chest compressions. Why is this one different? This is five rescue breaths. For children and people who have suffered near drowning you start with five because normally they have inadequate oxygen on their body but for others even after collapsing they still have some oxygenated blood on their body. In fact you can even start with the compressions. Yes because you will be pumping the blood that is within the system to go to various body pumping on a chest Yes is circulating blood Yes Yes you see even when you touch your heart the work it's doing is just pumping is pumping so if it fails you do this so that you pump the way the heart could have done because the heart contracts and relaxes so that's what you're doing by doing CPR So you locate the center of the chest and you pose here You see it's even wider You know and some others have Yes and when you do this this is where you need to also conserve the privacy of the of the patient Yes Okay continue with another question just burning Okay so you put your palm here in the center then you use this other hand to support the chest then you ensure your elbows are straight because you will push with your chest with your shoulders and not the elbows so you push 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 up to 30 then you give two rescue breaths here give it in the case of life Whoa come and look guys Whoa that is two and you do 30 again 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 up to 30 so you repeat that cycle three times that is 30 chest compressions and two rescue breaths if this person do not wake up it's a really emergency and you need to call for assistance or an ambulance but even after confirming that this person is breathing its emergency enough if there is somebody around you can tell them to call for an ambulance because they will come with something called AD that will shock the heart too you are clear yes yeah that one I watch way too many series guys yeah so that is what we use this one for to train people how to do CPR what happens if the victim is female and she is maybe she has a large bosom yeah so we start asking for permission or we will just start helping the the person is unconscious and your intention is to help the person yeah but is there a situation where they can come back they can come too from their unconsciousness and then start blaming fingers why did you do this yeah that happens how do you handle that so what what you need to do is that when you are helping the person if the person can react is when you can seek that person's response still it's important to seek consent of the patient yeah so for instance when you come you just say hello can I help you even if the person does not respond you just go ahead and introduce yourself you say my name is Fred from St. John ambulance I want to help you because I see that you are not breathing now I am checking I am feeling the breath from your mouth you can narrate what you are doing yeah now I want to give chest compressions to ensure that I pump some oxygen to your body tissues you try to narrate by the way when somebody is unconscious it doesn't mean they are not hearing actually yes yeah they may be hearing only that they cannot respond okay yeah okay that's why you do it but also you do it so that you ensure that whatever you are doing because there are instances you even check the pockets to see whether there are clues whether this person is taking some medication so it doesn't give a false impression that you are stealing things from the pocket and even after removing you say I have placed them on your right where even other people can can see I have one final question when it comes to this dummy before we open up the first aid kit there are cases yeah people who live with epilepsy yes and understand it's not a very easy situation yes sure and it's basically it takes a village to raise a child yes but I think some need two villages yes I don't have a family member or rather I don't I've never seen any of my family members having an epilepsy episode but when I was in high school I had because I was in an all-boarding all girls boarding school who had the condition yes and the first time I witnessed I almost fainted me with myself she's she's having a situation I am so afraid I'm almost about to have a situation also so is it something you guys teach do you tell us yes when it comes to epilepsy the first big problem is the perception people think that when somebody is epileptic it's witchcraft yeah but epilepsy just means there is a problem with the electrical activity of the brain witch sometimes make the body behave the way the body is behaving there's those conversions that happens so when it happens normally it's something that happens within a duration of about 5 minutes then it's over so the only first aid that you need to do to that person is to ensure that when they are falling you support them with a soft landing and what if you find them on the ground if you find them on the ground what you do is you remove any danger from around them if there may be some sharp object you just remove those sharp objects but you leave the person you don't hold they you're not supposed to tilt them to a certain no no no after the person has finished the person is where you put somebody slanting to one side like this but it's best to demonstrate by another person but if we use this dam I feel like calling a person yeah but ok proceed it's ok you just put the person slanting on the left side and then they will sleep on one of them and then you just are there so should they be crossing like this or like this yeah for you to be able to lift them you just lift the knee a little bit for instance if you want them to sleep on this side you lift the other side the knee and then you use the knee to turn it's very easy even if the person is safe so once they roll it won't choke yes it will go back so that's why it's called recovery position it doesn't allow body fluids to go back into the mouth they will just come out but for epilepsy once you do that you need to chase people away because when they will be waking up they will feel ashamed oh it's not even their fault yeah sometimes they will feel ashamed because for instance you are lying down you know lying down is a position of weakness and it's what she went falling like an angel maybe there was legs everywhere when you wake up you find everybody is staring at you it's not nice for them so you ensure you chase everybody around so that when the person wakes up he feels okay to wake up and continue because it doesn't stop and for somebody if it's a first time you need to take them to hospital there are some medications that they normally get okay but if it's a subsequent conversing moment then they already they already know what happens with that situation they know how to pick up themselves and continue in life but there are a lot of myths in this kind of I think something that they should incorporate in the new teaching system yes by the way in the syllabus for basic education we've included first aid yeah so it's not a select few who will be disturbing our hearts no no no we want everybody to know I want us to open up the goodie bag yeah so first aid kit this is for instance this one is a universal one you can use it it's so fancy yeah in the car at home you can use this bag okay maybe I'm red am I white box is that difference yes there's a difference in the content uh huh it depends with what you want to do with it so if you're using it at home you know the common injuries at home and the first aid items you need inside it's different for instance with somebody who is involved in sports and most of the injuries are sprains structures and the likes so the content slightly varies but this one is universal so it covers all of them yeah so if I open inside feel like we're opening up present yay if I open inside there are quite a number of items here yeah so for instance this one is called a triangle bandage that the one above the heart level to reduce the pain because you reduce the flow of blood when you raise it above the heart level so you use this to make a sling I'm sure you must have seen people with some slings on there I hope we get enough time for you to show us but let's just continue yeah then there's also a trauma here this one you don't use to cut the body but to cut the clothing okay it looks like a weapon for clothes yeah for instance when somebody is burned the cloth is sticking you cut around okay but you leave the cloth sticking it will be removed the hospital this is called saline water saline water water if somebody has suffered some injury on the eyes there is an object on the eye and you cannot get water to flash you use this one as an alternative water but if you have water running for instance in a tap you use that one if you spare this one okay then we have ice packs this is for people who get injured in the field so if somebody you it's not cold but for it to be cold you have to burst this this pebos inside and it automatically turn cold but there are different types of ice packs there are those which you put inside a refrigerator but there are those which you just for instance here the instruction is written what is the name of me at instruction it says 3 minutes so once they burst this thing becomes they burst inside not outside it becomes cold so you apply cold treatment for instance if an arm is heat as we no no no then we have a creep bandage this is for applying compression if somebody is for instance injured on the ankle you tie it round and round and round and round then we have there is a station mask the one we were saying that you use for CPR this is how it looks like when you blow on one side air doesn't go through but on the other side air goes through so for instance air doesn't go if you do like this so if you are blowing in air there is no cross infection from the patient so you can easily do CPR with this one with this one then other items this one everybody I believe knows is a plaster adhesive plaster so for small injuries after cleaning with the detergent you just cover it with it to prevent infection we also have quite a number of wipes these are called alcohol pads they are alcohol pads not for drinking for treating I am sure someone got excited let's get to alcohol pads guys no no no wet wipes yes so yeah it's more or less close to wet wipes so if somebody is injured it's already having the disinfectant so you just wipe around and then you apply the covering whether it's a bandage or it's a plaster when moving if you get shot someone goes quickly gets vodka then pours to disinfect yes by the way when you get shot there are a lot of maneuvers that you can do for instance you can there is an important thing here which I won't go without saying so for instance when your chest is injured there is something called occlusive dressing but I can't find it here but it's very important but there is always a modification so for the occlusive dressing it's it sticks on the three sides so if somebody if somebody is shot here you apply it so that the person can breathe the air out but when he's breathing in it locks so there is no external air but it says because it's very sucking injury so it prevents the external air getting into the cavity only the air that you breathe so when you breathe out it opens when you breathe in it closes like that then what you not missing any first aid kit is gloves because anything you're handling and a patient with body fluids like blood you must put them on to prevent gross infection but if you happen to be affected by the patient's blood or anything you need to go to hospital immediately so that you can be given a pep a jab to prevent HIV infection which might happen but that must be done within 72 hours but you need to use gloves to prevent that from happening ok thank you so very much for coming sir yeah sure our last week on Monday we were debating which one is better give so to speak rather and it was between traditional medicine and modern medicine but monopasani modern medicine is there a close second to a first aid kit in traditional everything here has a local modification so do you want to use it because for instance if you don't have this CPR you can always use any kind of polythene and just make a hole if you don't have a bandage you can always just have a clean cloth and use it if you don't have an occlusive dressing you can just use a polythene you can modify yeah if you don't have the shears tumor shears you can use anything to cut around but what is not in this kit that will never be in this kit is any kind of medication yes okay because medication is not passed off first aid it can cause more harm than good than good yeah we need to have a patch two of this it's very interesting and intriguing thank you again can we find your social media by any chance yes we are available at St. John Kenya whether it's Facebook or Twitter or Instagram it's the same at St. John Kenya okay I'm just going to borrow this gentleman for a minute guys let's find our friend he's from St. John Ambulance and he's fairly quiet he doesn't say much but we think together and we we insist we don't even think we insist that you stay with us online in the morning we have youth and politics coming up and then after that man crush Monday so you don't


What's up everybody once again is Brand Man Sean and I got to talk about two things that you can do to help you transition and rebrand for being known for one thing to another. Now what exactly I do? I mean by this? Well, people have come up to me and they were like, yo, brand man, I'm a comedian and I built this audience as a comedian because I wanted to really get attention so I could become a rapper. But now that I started dropping my rap music even though I have 120,000 followers on Instagram, they're not listening to my music. They really just want to see me keep doing comedy. I get it. I get it. I've been asked that question from comedians, strippers, regular personalities and so many other variations of different people doing different things. But there's some things that you have to understand so let's talk about those two things you can do. Number one is of course you could just stop cold turkey doing that first thing like stop comedy all of a sudden start just posting rap only. What you're going to find is a lot of people who are following you for just comedy, they're slowly going to start unfollowing you but the people who stay will be the people who rock with the music or at least can tolerate it at the time. That's cool. A lot of people try that route but I say number two is better if you have the patience and the endurance and that's start to drizzle your music in between the other content over time and you're not going to see these results overnight but why not maintain the visibility that you have with the original audience and then every once in a while just slide something else in. If you are familiar with Gary V's jab, jab, jab, right hook, really I should have did jab, jab, jab, right hook but that's besides the point. Then you know his philosophy is all about give value, give value, give value and then every once in a while make a sale. Consider your music the sale at this point because that's not value for these people. They don't know you for your music. You're trying to push it on them but right now you can get to you jabbing by giving them the current content that they're already used to getting and then drop that music bomb here or there. Maybe once a week while you're posting other content four or five times a week or maybe once a month you're dropping new music, right? You don't necessarily have to stop doing what you were doing before. You can maintain that level of transition and then once something starts to pop then you can really go all out on it. That's one of my favorite routes if you have the endurance to do it that way because it's hard enough to get people's attention. If you already have that there's a lot of value in that. People are paying to get people's attention. Why would you just give it up just like that and start all the way over? It's nothing wrong with starting all the way over but I'm just saying if you can it's helpful to use what you have and try to flip it. To bring a little technicality to it let's consider it as a marketing funnel. We're going to get real nerdy for a second. That comedy or them big booty pictures that you're posting that stuff is just to still keep getting awareness and then that marketing funnel is about what? You get awareness and then slowly people check some of your other content right? These are the people at the top they just you know they see you every once in a while they saw some of your content but then you have people who kind of follow you a little bit more and then you have people who dig in deeper to some of your other content. That's exactly what's going to happen when it comes to you transitioning. Alright for a popular example let's say you do comedy skits and you're trying to transition into an artist. If you think about the marketing funnel the people who know you for comedy skits they're already aware of you so they have some sense of awareness but when it comes to you being an artist they still need to go down the funnel you post music every once in a while and then now they're aware of your music and they go down the funnel if they like your music they're going to try to listen to more of that music. That's how that marketing funnel works for someone who already knows who you are as a comedian but for these new people they're going to hear the music first and that's what you want because in their mind you're branded as a musician and over time what you'll see as you post more music you'll have more people who know you for the music first that's your brand with them but the goal is try to hold on to as many people from that comedy side and transition them into the music and you're not going to get that if you just go cold turkey you're going to have a lot of people that just say oh what happened to the thing I follow him for and some people will unfollow you out of protest so if you can do the drip drop method of keep posting the thing that you're known for it could be comedy could be clothing whatever you do and then every once in a while start to drop music more and more over time until you get one that really catches you'll find that once again these people who know you for music that's what they know you for that's what they like you for they might know you do some comedy but they know you for the music first and these people who already were following you before you decided to transition into music heavily will either not care for the music transition but you'll have a strong portion of you that like you enough that will root for you within music if your music isn't you know complete trash that's it I would love to know what you guys think especially those of you who have tried this transition from one thing to another it might not be from something to a musician it might be from a musician to something else or whatever else you're doing talk about it in the comment section below I think it'll be really helpful and plus I want to know your journey I want to know how you did it because hey we might have to do a whole video about it at some point other than that if you like this video go ahead and like button if you like it you might as well share it and if you're not subscribed you know what to do hit that subscribe
