Okay, so I am Ben Rockwood. I'm the director of IT and operations over at chef But I am first and foremost a system administrator. That's what I started doing. That's what I always do That's what I will do when I when I die And as a system administrator, I think way too hard about low-level things I always want to go to first principles dig as deep as deep as deep as I possibly can to understand things and then once I've done that I want to extract out tools that can be used to help me solve real-world problems and One of the fun things about the DevOps movement is it has a lot of roots and One of its primary roots is agile right originally before we were DevOps we were agile operations and Agile really has its roots in lean and lean has its roots in Scientific management and so you'll find that I tend to move up and down the stack because I don't believe that you ever really Truly understand anything unless you understand the causal roots beneath it So sometimes they go a little bit deep some people like that some people don't but We're gonna dive through of all the things that I found out of all the causal roots one of the most powerful tools that I found is a3 It's something that I've used in all the operations teams that I've managed over the course of the last 10 years and Every team that I've used it in found became wildly successful using it And so I'm really hoping that you see some some joy in it, too It is in fact the engine of lean it is the engine that keeps lean actually functioning It is the secret behind Kaizen And it is the keys to a learning organization and one of the reasons I want to talk to you guys about this It's a lot of people say hey we should do that We should should be continuously improving and you're like yeah, that sounds great. I want to do that I totally want to do that How do you do that? Or they're like we'll just continuously improve and you're like hey, I'm going to continuously improve How? We'll just try hard But I'm assist admin so I want a tool and I've got a good one So let's first talk about continuous improvement. What is continuous improvement really inspired by the idea Kaizen? Kaizen literally in Japanese means change for the better.   It's a way of approaching how you do things all the time Sometimes you will actually hear the the the concept of a kaizen event. Let's get everyone together and improve. Yeah, that works When you think about kaizen though, this is really really key I'm not going to belabor the point but you need to be thinking small tiny So whatever you think is a thing that you could do in order to improve Some individual process or something that you do whatever you think that improvement is it's too big make it smaller and Then make it even smaller than that and then we start getting to things that are actually implementable Okay, so kaizen needs to be tiny tiny tiny but continuous.  You just got to start over. Okay, so blow that shit up But also know the difference right know the difference and if you're not sure debate it But make sure you know both premise with radical improvement and kai kaku is really you know major overhaul when something Is just on the wrong course to begin with and start a new course as soon as possible So you can get back to kaizen we always want to be doing kaizen But that doesn't mean we want to improve something that's fundamentally flawed. Okay, use it very sparingly, but know that it's there Okay, now I told you that that dev of has its roots in agile which has its roots in lean Which has its roots in scientific management? These are the science the the pioneers that really led up to lean guy on the left is Shoeheart then we have deming then we have ono Right, I'm sure y'all have heard the history of lean lean is the American term for the Toyota production system The Toyota production system was created at Toyota from ono back after World War two when they believe that they had three years To catch up to American industry or the country was entirely screwed in order to learn from American industry After we bombed the daylights out of Japan We sent all our best managers over there to teach them how to rebuild their industry because that's what we do as Americans were fucking awesome More over beers later, right? One of the people that went over was Deming Deming taught him a lot of things, but the funny thing is is Deming never claimed to be an independent genius actually He was a disciple of shoe heart shoe heart is awesome. Why because he worked at bell car, right? Come on, we're assistance people you got to love bell core, right? Okay. Anyway shoe heart was a master of statistical process control and the Japanese really wanted to learn it so Deming came over and taught them all of shoe hearts tricks on how to do statistical process control And so a lot of these ideas that informed What ono created his Toyota production system and then became lean all actually came out of Deming which came out of shoe heart Okay, so you got to know the history one of things that Deming kind of at the end of his life He sort of brought together as like the great framework of what he was trying to propose was the system of profound Knowledge because it sounds fucking awesome, and it has four components appreciation of a system We always think in systems system system systems, right an understanding of variation incredibly important There are two types of variation.  That's the one you want to focus on not those little tiny blips This is one of these things in seasonality and data analysis.  That's a little ambiguous in Psychology because ultimately all these systems are composed of people the theory of knowledge comes from something called pragmatism right All you philosophy people are like Pragmatism America's homegrown philosophy right we created one. It's awesome. It's pragmatism Came from Pierce on the left there really built on by a Henry and then Lewis CI Lewis is less well known but the most influential of them and also do we made it very practical Now why am I telling you about pragmatism?  Being a pragmatist does not mean that you're simply a pragmatic person Sometimes when we say pragmatic we mean somebody who follows their gut somebody who just does something that's very practical and sort of works We talked about pragmatism. We're talking about something very specific Which is an approach that assesses the truth of meaning of theories or beliefs in terms of the success of their practical Application we're talking about is epistemology How we know what we know and It's really important that we consider this idea even though it's a real base one We need to think are we focusing on on on a? Are we focusing on audiology and are we focusing on kind of the wholeness of truth? Or are we focusing on what actually works in our environment to determine what is or is not true? Okay, just because Etsy does it doesn't mean that it's necessarily a thing that you should do in your environment because your environment Is not Etsy's environment same with Amazon same with Netflix same with anyone else How do you determine if something is true or not you determine if it's true or not as to whether or not it works in your environment, right So always thinking from standpoint of pragmatism that I am going to solve problems in my unique context for my unique Context not as universal constants is a really important place to start and that's where we always want to start, okay? That theory of knowledge that Deming talked about actually was a reference back to this book. This is the C.I. Lewis's book a Mind in the World Order it is a philosophical proof, which means it's hard to read It's incredibly interesting, but it's one of those books like you read it You're like wow that was amazing, and then five minutes later. You're like, I don't really know what it said So you read it again, and you're just like I love that book Okay So these ideas of a focusing on what is is something that was a seed at the beginning of the 20th century That really was important to shoe heart Three C.I. Lewis's work then was passed on to Deming then came up through Oh, no And now is one of the fundamental roots of everything that we're doing today that originated out of that movement So real important thing to know that's out there. It's a big kernel of that truth And it comes all the way through to today, okay? all right, so One of the ways that they would needed a tool to wrap around this idea of pragmatism and to To bring it into day-to-day use and so they created this thing called the PDSA Cycle plan do study act some of you will have heard this as the Deming cycle Which was actually PDCA check act The original shoe heart cycle was PDSA and the funny thing is is even though they call it the Deming cycle Deming never actually called it. He always called it the shoe art cycle. So I don't know the messenger gets more more love But this is something you guys have probably seen before right and you probably think I know that every time somebody is really boring and bureaucratic They totally bring this up now. There's this weird dude in a kilt on stage. She's telling me that I should do it I'm very confused Why is it important because it's the scientific process? It's what it is. It's a scientific process brought into business, right in the scientific process. We ask a question We construct a hypothesis Then we test it with experiments. We analyze those results and then based on those results not what we want the results to be But based on the results. We actually find We draw conclusions and then we decide what we're going to do next That's precisely what we're doing in this PDCA cycle. We plan what we need to do. We have an idea Well, I think I need to do this. I think this should be done. Then I'm going to go and perform some experiments Then I'm going to look at those experiments and say do they actually match? Is this what I thought I was good to see? What does this tell me and then act?  What's all that about? But it's really performing experiments and then deciding what you do with those experiments And the thing is this PDCA is something that kind of goes off the rail So Toyota came up with this concept called the a3 framework the a3 framework is a way of taking this PDCA cycle and encoding it into a document one of the things that created this document is that I'm sure you've never seen this before People were coming up to ono with like 36 page project proposals and going hey something's wrong Here's this thing tell us what you think and he was like, no, no, no, thanks. You can keep that I don't want it. He's like, you know what? If it doesn't fit on a sheet of paper I Don't even want to read it make it fit on one sheet of paper. So being engineers. What do they do? They found a really big piece of paper This is an a3 this is where the term actually comes from so this is an international standard a3 sheet of paper and to give you an idea of the size Fold it in half and you have us letter paper. Okay, so this is bigger than legal is a big piece of paper So they said, okay, we'll put on one sheet of paper and over time they refined this and What you have here in this this document is that PDSA cycle Drawn out here in the first we started the top left-hand side if you guys are familiar with the business canvas This is very similar. In fact, I think business canvases actually ultimately came from this We have a problem statement at the top. What's our problem? We have a background out there We have current condition Future condition. We have an analysis. We have our experiments. Then we have our results confirmation and finally we have our future plans, so Break these down a little bit more And in a3 this is a thinking process. This is not a form. This is the first big thing You got to understand about about an a3. It's not about the piece of paper. It's absolutely not about the paper In particular because when you fill out a form, what do you do? It's a point in time. You sit down you felt for This is not a form that you fill out at one time This is a thinking process and it's a physical artifact that constrains you to work through that process to make sure that you're following it well So on this piece of paper, we're gonna have a problem statement What is this is gonna be a very brief one-liner sort of what's the problem right monitoring blows? Right, but you're gonna set a context. What are we talking about? The next thing you're gonna do is describe the problem background. Why should anyone care, right? This is great if I if somebody just goes and reads your a3 why should they why is this a problem? Why should anyone care about this? This is what some of us might call business case It should be very short, but it should be packed with data Then we're gonna describe two things that are the key here. You're gonna describe your current state What is actually going on right now? Guess what? This means you actually have to understand What's going on right now and a lot of times on our systems are so complex. We're like it's a crappy system Why is it a crappy system because I have no idea how it works That's why it's a crappy system like no we need to go and figure out how it works gonna do the back work Figure out. What is your current state? What is actually going on right now? And then you're going to have to figure out what it is you want not a goal Not a simple goal of I want I want to go this far Describe the future. This is a vision. This is what I actually want. I want to not ever wake up at night ever Right? That's a good future state. You have to describe that Once you know where you're at and you know clearly where you want to go now. We can do a gap analysis This is called a root cause analysis Different people call it different things, but essentially what we're doing is a gap analysis Why am I where I'm at and how do I get to where I want to go and the real focus is going to be for a lot of us Why aren't you already there? Right? If it's so easy, you'd already be there There's a reason that you're not there and these have to do with constraints.  These are the things we're going to do and you can do a lot of these in parallel I mean this does not have to be one plan. These are experiments, right? Try as many different variations as you possibly can because the purpose here is not to solve the problem the problem here Or the thing you're trying to do here is to get towards what's going to solve the problem and knowing it rather than just thinking it Once you've done those experiments now. We have to go back and Review them what worked what didn't what were the trade-offs? What do we think was going to happen what actually happened? And this is where you really got to be looking at what is that future that we want? Are we getting there and did it match what we saw in our analysis? Once you've done that now you've learned something Now you're a learning organization now you've learned something, but what do you have to do once you've learned something? decide what to do with that new knowledge Are you going to make it part of your standard process? Are you going to adopt it or you're going to throw it away?  I don't use paper paper.  Obviously, I don't use paper. I use confluence You can work in any system. This is a confluence template. We have in the chef wiki That we use for our a threes so I have three teams that report to me. They all use a three and Anytime we have a situation where we're not quite sure what we want to do. There's still a fuzzy sort of There's a fuzziness and whatever the problems we're trying to solve or how we're doing it We always it's like a three. It's time for a three get an a three going right And we'll sit there in a meeting and start filling it out and start thinking it through right where where we good Where are we weak? Where do we know? Where do we not know and it gives us a framework to push through and Like I said, you're going to go through this in over time. This is not something you just fill out at one time, right? There's obviously you can't know what the results of your experiments are going to be before you've done the experiments You can't know what experiments you're going to do until you've done your gap analysis. So it's a process This is an example of a real a three from chef. This was for the Ubuntu 10. Oh for EOL anybody deal with that one Yeah, yeah one brave soul admitted it We had a bunch of 10 of the four systems that were still out there and we needed to get them upgraded And so we wanted to think through what was the best way to get this done, right? And so you can see some of the the problem Description up there in the top the background The current condition the bottom kind of got cut off here And then on the right you can see each of the experiments that we did In order to get us going in that direction There's a number of different times that you can use a three. It's a pretty flexible tool Problem-solving is definitely the most most common Use Project planning it's really great when you want to do project planning You're not sure what's involved project proposals and initiatives when you want to show out an idea again You're going to go through that same process of what's my current state? What's my future state? What's the analysis and what do we need to do to get there? Really good in retrospectives and postmortems about you know, hey, we see keep seeing the systemic problem How do we actually get towards something that's sustainable and just about any other? Case you can think of very very powerful and flexible tool Some best practices when using a three is as a process is always just keep it simple don't get clever clever doesn't help anything Keep it simple as possible If it won't fit on the form so in the case of a paper you're physically constrained by size in a wiki Of course, you can just keep going on as long as you want to but there's a point at which It's just like come on dude. This is too much It becomes obvious and that that's what you should be used to its strength when you when you're running out of space It's a good sign that your problem is just too big Reach for them as often as you can this is why it's a wiki template that we have we can pull them out Whatever we need to and again never ever ever forget. It's not about the form It's a logical thinking process Right in a very powerful one now the the way that you'll see this if you actually ever go into a manufacturing plant When you walk on to the on to the factory floor You'll normally see a wall covered in a three sheets of paper And what you'll see is is all their current improvement initiatives that are moving out with their a threes So it's kind of fun to look through and everyone knows the state of everything all the time In in our teams we just keep them in our wiki on you know linked off the home page So everyone can see that we're doing and it's a real nice way for people to come in and get a sense of What we're doing it's it's even more useful than just having a Kanban board around because Frankly, it's nice that everyone has X year Kanban board It's a lot of times they look at it like no idea what any of that stuff means I have access to it hooray But what does it mean? These are a lot more clear and these are something we can build on I mean this is a this is a basic tool That can always be built upon so one of the things I wanted to do was to incorporate the ideas of design thinking Into this process because if you look at the process of doing design thinking These steps you empathize you develop a deep understanding of a user's challenge like really put yourself in the end user's shoes Like what is what is a consumer or or a user really? Grappling with and then you define based on that you clearly articulate a problem that you want to solve You ideate you brainstorm potential solutions that will solve that that problem select and develop a solution Then you prototype what that solution is going to go to look like and Then you test it iterate put it in front of your user see if they like it if they don't and then iterate iterate iterate Well that design thinking process sure sounds a lot like what we are doing in in the dev-up side of things And it looks really similar to the agile flow. It looks really similar to what we're doing in the lean continues improvement side So what I decided to do was to merge these things together and I created what's called the a 3.2 Template and you'll notice just a little bit of change here. We've got the problem description So I call it investigation exploration reflection and implementation Problem description stays but then I add in a section on stakeholders and the stakeholders is a really loaded term That generally turns a lot of us off so what we're going for was stakeholders in the sense of of design thinking in that I want to go around to all the Different people who have some stake in whatever we're doing. They're gonna see it. They're gonna touch it They're gonna they're gonna judge us on it.  What do you really want? Well? I want a thing. I got it Okay, you want a thing. What do you really want in the thing? Well?  Judge your solution based on that then we got the current condition. We've got the desired future state We still have our analysis But then I change The experiments really into prototypes right which I think captures the idea a little bit better too We want to do lots of things and we just try them to see what works Right reflection and implementation. What do we do once it's done? Do we create a policy? Do we onboard a new tool?  Why not make the world and easier and more interesting so that people don't have to sweat the toyota style is not To create results by working hard underline it Don't work hard It's a system that says there's no limit to people's creativity people don't go to toyota to work They go to think and this is a manufacturing company, right? This is what they're saying to line workers on an assembly line. You're not here to work. You're here to think And then shingo Who really was kind of the sys admin of of the TPS world? Shingo was the one who came up with a lot of the technical innovations that actually made the toyota production system work a Relentless barrage of whys is the best way to prepare your mind to pierce the clouded veil of Thinking caused by the status quo use it often There's a real belief that what we should ignore lean because it has its roots in manufacturing And what does manufacturing know about knowledge work? And when you go back to Henry Ford where this all really started when you look at Oh, no They don't really see a difference the application in implementation looks very different But the fundamental root ideas are the same and I can prove that because of the fact that we're all sitting here Right now There's a bunch of books out there that can help a three understanding a three thinking managing to learn It's a famous book a three problem-solving but always if you want to understand lean the best roll-up book of all the fundamental Concepts that is the best use of your time if you're going to invest your time anywhere I always recommend the fifth discipline. It's the most bang for your buck. It'll get you where you need to go It's definitely required reading. So thank you very much Thank you


Happy sabbath, happy day, happy afternoon sabbath to you all or wherever you're watching us from online. We have gathered here again at Nairobi Central SDA Church for our afternoon session and we'll begin this session by our word of prayer followed by a song service. So I'd like Paul to kindly lead us in our word of prayer. Happy sabbath, all of us who are in the sanctuary, may we all rise as we seek the Lord in prayer. Let us pray. Our dear kind loving Father in heaven, we pose a little longer to say thank you. Your love for us has indeed been amazing. We just want to say we are real, we are overwhelmed and we are grateful. Thank you for the morning session that we had. And Lord, even as we get into the afternoon, we pray that you may be amongst us, you may send your spirit to speak to our hearts that whatever may come from this pulpit may be edifying and useful for our lives even as we trudge on in this journey as we await you, soon return. Bind us all together in love. We pray in Jesus' name, amen. Amen. I'd like us all to join us as we glorify God through music at this session and our first song will be from our SDA Himnall song number 604, we know not the R. Nimbosaki Christo, number Happy sabbath. Happy sabbath once more. Before we pray, I'd like to thank the the music team, Faith, Felix and Paul. Let's stand so that we pray. Let us pray. Our gracious Father who art in heaven, it is another opportunity you've given us to come and fellowship and worship you and to learn from you. Thank you Lord because you are with us in the morning and you gave us a break to go and get physical food to give us physical strength. Now Lord we pray for spiritual strength and the clarity of our thoughts so that Lord the message you have for us may sink in and that you may keep us to serve you better as we come towards the end of this world. Lord I pray in a special way for our speaker who is continuing to share with us. You have enabled him to to come since morning up to now and Lord I pray that you may give him strength, give him clarity of thought. Lord give him a message in his mind and speak to him, speak through him and give us receptive hearts in Jesus name we pray. Amen. It is another opportunity God has given us to come and hear about the voice of prophecy. The voice of prophecy is a tool which God has given us to share the gospel and you know it the aim of BOP is actually to fulfill the mission of the church which is to lead people to accept Jesus and to nurture them in preparation for Jesus soon return. So what all of us need is to be willing and to be equipped so that we are ready to go out. I think as a church we've taken a long time or a lot of time in church but we've not gone out to share the gospel and to bring people and once we've brought them we've not nurtured them. So this is part of that and I want to thank God for this program. Now without wasting time I want to welcome our speaker Pastor Nathan Oirere. How many with me are praying that God empowers him and are welcoming him for God to use him at this time. Thank you so much, Pastor. May you come and may God continue speaking through you this afternoon. So we'll begin and we'll end just before four and then we will go to various classes. I know some people have meetings. Some councils are also there. The choir will also meet at four. So let's take this time God has given us. Pastor, welcome. Good afternoon, saints. These are the gracious moments that our gracious fathers given us to gather this afternoon. And we continue to praise him because he is a loving God. I thank you so much, Choristers, for the good job you are doing. I love music but I don't know how to sing. If I sing, you will run away from church and never want to come back again. So I don't want to do that. But within within the talk there are, we shall have some singing intervals. Song number 427 428 626 and the 633. We will sing in Waimba and we will sing in Koras. 427 428 626 and the 633 will be the last one. So those will be our interludes as we move along this afternoon program. So we continue where we left in the morning. We were talking about basically whom shall I send and we discovered that one of the avenues that God is using to reach the entire world is the voice of prophecy. Now at this Chiankyamea I say something very brief. There is a big difference a 100% difference between voice of prophecy and the spirit of prophecy. Those are two different animals. Voice of prophecy is reaching the people with the word of God using voice, using radio, using television, using satellites and then using literature at some point. So it was called voice because the word of God declaring the second coming of Jesus Christ which is actually a prophetic message was given through voice, through radio that is how voice of prophecy came about. Of course what we have in our current church manuals we call those leaders in the state of voice of prophecy that are called Bible school coordinators because the correspondence Bible school was now given that name or that title Bible school. Therefore those who are coordinating that work in the local church are called Bible school coordinators. Now why Bible schools? Because in our union here in the year 2000 there was an action that was taken. Instead of operating only from the voice of prophecy headquarters at Kaurura it is good that we decentralize this work of voice of prophecy do the local churches. That is when an action was first and then from that time on churches now were allowed to start this program in their local churches by registering with the voice of prophecy or the Bible school so that they be getting lessons to use in their local churches all over the entity. So that is a little bit the difference voice of prophecy and the spirit of prophecy. Spirit of prophecy will get a few minutes to talk as we are going to finish that it is the prophetic word of God which God gave to his people using the prophets as they are in the Bible and they were being inspired by the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit was guiding them was leading them on what to do. As the Seventh Day Adventist Church we recognize spiritual spiritual gifts and one of these is prophecy which has been manifested in Ellen G. White the question is does Ellen G. White meet the four test of a true prophet? Yes, she does. What are they? Stay on and we'll be there. Karibu, 427 Umlilala At least one stance first stance last stance and chorus. Now the messages in the songs we are using are what is voice of prophecy was created before. We are going home. It's a whole purpose. Yes. One stance last and the chorus 427 So much. The church was not called to be just a physical witness. It was called to be a witness by portraying the characteristics of Jesus Christ convincing men and women to accept Christ into their lives. Christ had come to the world to give life and give it abundantly. In John 1010 the Bible says I have come that they may have life and have it to the full and they have it more abundantly. Being witnesses of Christ means to bring life to the people are people who are not alive. The apostle Paul writing to the evasion church said that is in Ephesians 2 verses 1 to 3 as for you you were dead in your trespasses in your transgressions and your sins in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the rule of the kingdom of the air the spirit who is now to work in those who are the disobedient all of us also leaving among them at one time gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest we were by nature objects of wrath remember that time you were separated from Christ that is now verse 12 that time you were separated from Christ you were separated excluded from the citizens in Israel and the foreigners to the covenants of the promise without hope and without God in the world. The purpose of the voice of prophecy through the messages given through voice through the media channels it is to give people hope and to give people life because we had no life we had no hope we had no God it is to give people hope to give people God this was the condition before the first advent the act of Jesus Christ on the cross changed this condition that is vision chapter 2 verse 4 to 5 the Bible says but because of the great love for us God who is rich in mercy you know the the Bible is saying God who is rich in mercy now there is no single human being who has ever gone into the Guinness book of records because of having plenty of mercy not a single one the one I began to hear the rich fellows in the world there was a nazis of Greece some years back both some highland and the people were there but at one moment his wife became sick of breast cancer and they put an advert the entire globe saying if there is any woman who can offer to give my wife her breast then I will give him that's a millions of dollars not a single woman came up even to death why were they fearing for money this is telling us what God is so rich in mercy the mercy of God reaches us and welcomes us to him irrespective of the status that we are in and that is why they are saying at some point some people look at Christianity to be something hopeless something useless because Christ said whosoever believe it shall not perish but have everlasting life because when we shall be assured in that eternal home you will not be there with your escorts you will not be there with your car escorts you will not be there with your security you will not be there with anything you will be there alone you will not drive your V-80 there you will not in that fearless land there is no night there so because of that to some people Christianity does not make sense because they tend to think that Christianity is to bring divisions and you know allow me say this we are elder over lunch hour when I opened my Kamulikamizi then there was a missed call from one of my family members so I called back and they said oh it was passed I was looking for you of central judge how can you look for me and I am seated here in the church because I was here before 8 so that means he was not here right and the thing is because we are so much used to Pombasi that you know Wendomadwong those who come from that place Mugeni maalumu akay mugeni maalumu anaka ambele apa viti hi ina swing na jwa sinna mugongia kuswingimim sasa na tagikana apa mugongia mugu ina penda benji niz Pere da kutoxika lyingava mugeni niz dawa delvewa kwa kwa mongilidze nzi um Xbox na kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa kwa suwefele.  He make us alive with Jesus Christ when we were dead in our trespasses for by grace you are received. The one which I did n't tell you... that was improvisated in Luckini Njani... is a person by the name Isaac Newton. He was a slave dealer. One time he made the decision in his life that for me I would survey that devil forever. The newologies. But there is God, and they mentioned God. So when he mentioned God, the Lord settled that ship. And then he wondered what an amazing God is this. And he came up with the song. Amazing grace, how sweet the sound. That saved the rich like me. Sin mungesimama kitambu. Haiaa. You know, sasa niafta noon, atubiri sa manisahidimafundishokidogo. Waende jumbani kuchapa siyasa. Some 108 days to sing the grace of God is the purpose of the voice of prophecy to prepare the people so that we be at this place where we will sing God's praise throughout the eternal ages. The church board should permit no other business to interview with planning for evangelism. Should the other business be two-time consuming, the board may appoint committees to care for specific areas of the church business such as finance or church building projects. Such committees would then make recommendations to the church board. In this way, the resources of the board are resolved for its primary task evangelism. You can take your charge manual on the job description of the charge board. The primary function of the charge board is evangelism. But do you know the primary task today? Majina Yawatu. People's names to be discussed. I saw that young lady. She was at the market standing with a very tall man. That was not a good behavior, Pasita. She needs to be discussed. You know that is an appearance of evil. And yet you have no data. Those who have gone to school here, they collected data.  Whether that was the elder brother, you have no data. But you are discussing in the charge board. The primary task of the charge board is to discuss matters evangelism. Witnessing should be in the hands of every church member in every village, in every market, every town, every working place, in every school, college, university, all over, even when you are working, even when riding in a matatu. Matatus at times the fellows who work there are very rough, but you don't need to be the same as they are. Because the moment you are the same as they are, no one will make a difference.  So we were discussing something and the one person was asking me, do you know who I am? I said yes, I know who you are.  The Bible says the lost is sheep. Until every church has become an evangelic center. So from Nairobi the work cannot be done. You know, next to the language you do. This is the whole purpose of establishing the voice of prophecy so that the work can reach everywhere from our local churches because kutoka heidi kota spekiyake, it will not work. It has to go down to the churches. Now the whole purpose of this voice of prophecy is to encourage the members to study the word of God. Why must we study the word of God? Jesus said in Matthew chapter 24 and verses 15 when ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation spoken by the prophet Daniel stand in the holy place whoever reads let him understand. The reading of the Bible is the only most powerful weapon that can be used to destroy spiritual ignorance, no any other. Why? It is true reading that we will understand where we have come from. It is true reading the word of God that we will understand where we are. It is true reading that we will understand where we are going. It is true reading that the nations are kept informed. It is true reading that Israel was kept informed even in the wilderness when Moses read the Ten Commandments. It was true reading that Josh Josiah brought great reforms in Israel. It was true reading that Daniel understood their seven years in the Babylonian captivity because Daniel chapter 9 verse 2 the Bible says I Daniel by reading the books concerning the seven years which was spoken by the prophet Jeremiah meaning Daniel was reading the word of God. The voice of prophecy is taking us to the reading of the word of God that is when we will understand where we are, where we have come from and where we are going. The prophet Isaiah challenged Judah to seek from the book that is from the Bible and read. It was true reading the Bible that Israel established in Jerusalem. It was true reading the book of Revelation says chapter 1 verse 3 blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy and he did the things which are written in it. So as we have already seen God's commission is to go to every nation is to go to every person. His work is to go forward in the cities that is our work as a church, towns and villages. So we have to be responsible we have a responsibility to reach every individual in our territory. The Lord has given to every man his work and this is to carry the word of God to every man to every man's door. During the time of Pentecost as we saw in the morning there was experience a spiritual evolution and the servant of the Lord says a spirit of intercession was seen even as was manifested before the great day of Pentecost hundreds and thousands were seen visiting families opening before them the word of God. Hearts were convicted by the power of the Holy Spirit and the spirit of genuine conversion was manifested on every side doors were thrown open to the proclamation of the truth. The world seemed to be lighted with the heavenly influence. Then she continues to say in a book entitled Welfare Ministry go to your neighbors one by one and come close to them till their hearts are warmed by your unselfish interest and love. Symbodize with them pray with them watch for opportunities to do them good and as you can gather a few together and open the word of God to their darkened mind. We have come to a point dear people of God where really we are living in an environment where we are so much enclosed. For those of you all over the city here in Nairobi Karen, Ronda Rungai all those places many of the homes that we have put up we have put the perimeter walls it is very expensive today to put up a home because of sin. You put up a home then there is a perimeter wall then there is a gate this main gate then there is above the wire of electricity and this gate there is a CCTV there are ten of them I don't know how much each one costs not only CCTV there is a watchman Yurewa Rungu and there is another watchman police Wabunduki then there is the chairman Shepard ten of them because of sin we are now trying to run away from sin that's why you here ladies were here our men who travel a lot when he is in England or in UK and he calls back home the first question Umerisha Umbua have you fed the dogs how is the first question he asks the wife now you wonder he can't ask even how are you today how are the children is interested in dogs why because of sin he thinks dogs are are saviors and protect us that's where we are so the purpose of reading the word of God is to guide us to know we are not home desalang that is fairer than day niki saima because you are young still you begin singing from down there desalang that is fairer than day there will be no chairman Shepard there will be no AK47 there will be no katoels there will be no whatever there will be no thieves there will be nothing hey desalang that is fairer than day and by faith we can see it afa truth or not truth right we shall meet on that beautiful show we shall meet we shall meet we shall meet we shall meet almost chapter 8 verses 11 to 13 almost chapter 8 verses 11 to 13 almost chapter 8 verses 11 to 13 we will call you later again the word of God says behold the days are coming says the Lord God that I will send a famine on the land not a famine of bread not a thirst for water but of hearing the words of the Lord verses 12 they shall wander from sea to sea and from north to east they shall run to and fro seeking the word of the Lord but shall not find it in that day the fair virgins and the strong young men shall faint from thirst not thirst of water not thirst of bread but thirst of getting the word of God because propasion has closed and that word is nowhere it is no more and therefore people will be running up and down looking for it but it will not be there these are the moments God has called upon us to use the available vessels he has given and other equipment to rally our people with the word of God the same not only the word of God but in the book of Osaya chapter 5 and the book of Osaya chapter 5 or 6 is not only the word of God that will no longer be there but there is what we have held on to which became a stumbling block and that time is coming people of God Osaya chapter 5 or 6 the Bible says with their flocks and hearts they shall go to seek the Lord but they will not find him he has withdrawn himself from them at time is coming we have cherished so much at time is coming we have cherished this thing so much to an extent that we can't allow we can't use them for the purpose of ensuring the word of God is spread here and there we are worshiping them instead of worshiping God so God is saying when probation closes then it will be announced it is normal that is when people will begin running to the church here they will come root me for pastor because Amos says pastor you will never find him he will not be there we will come with our cows we will come with whatever we have we will come with our billions we will be driving here with billions the Bible is saying with their flocks and hearts they shall go to seek the Lord but they will not find him why he has withdrawn himself from them it is now to do the work of God dear people Ezekiel chapter 7 says of the same thing we need to wake up dear people of God and be on our toes if I can't go on my own I can't make it God has given means give out the means like in the first church it is an anas and safaira who tried to do what never intended but they ended in graves so if you have what God has given you and you can't go give it and it will be used Ezekiel chapter 7 verses 19 what God says they will throw their silver into the streets and their gold will be like refuse kiswa iliki nasema ita kwa kama mavi they will throw their silver into the streets their gold will be like refuse their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord they will not satisfy their souls nor feel their stomachs because it became their stumbling block of inequity dear people of God we are called upon the Lord is saying whom shall I send that is the call coming down to us you know dear saints allow me to see this some of us in our families have gone to an extent where your spouse does not know a pin number I am a person I will go to the church and I will go to the bathroom and I will ask the people who are in the bathroom Hey hey hey I will go to the bathroom Hey hey So she wonders what is going on I was not doing anything He goes with the phone in the bathroom if we can worship gadgets how far we from worshiping our living God how far we the Bible is saying a time is coming so we are challenged to go and using the material that has been given the discover Bible schools which are produced by the voice of prophets we use them where we are not able to reach give other people to read we may not know how to talk some of us we may not know how to convey to someone some of us but if we get that tool and give someone to read and that is it how it can be one day one young man in this world was hired to take care of animals of one rich man so one day as he was taking these animals to the water point he stumbled piece of paper somewhere on the road and out of curiosity he picked it and they began to read you could not understand so going home with a piece of paper he asked the owner of the animals what is this what are they talking about it was a paper that someone had thrown there but was inviting people to enroll so the owner of the home explained it to him and then he said can you do for me so that I can also read the owner did it for him and they began reading at the end of it he accepted Jesus Christ as his personal savior at the end of it he became a pastor of this church he is now very old retired at his home rejoicing awaiting for the Lord to come dear saints in a little while we are going home are we ready to go home we are called upon to witness to the others many ways we have seen what is going to serve as our stumbling blocks in a little while we go we shall meet at last when the stormy winds are power in a little while we go in the strength renew in a little while we shall cry we shall meet at last when the stormy shall we the voice of prophecy the personal ministry department which works in a little while we go we shall meet at last but we shall meet in a little while will about what this department which work hand in hand with the voice of prophecy I'm going to say something a little about that one because our time is caching up with us what is the mission of the personal ministry's department in the church the mission of personal ministries is to provide resources The department has to unite with the voice of prophecy because the voice of prophecy provides the materials to be used by this department in order to train charge members with the ministry in the final proclamation of the gospel salvation in Christ. The aim of the department is to enlist every member in active soul winning service for God in many ways. The personal ministry was established as a major setting for soul winning activities in the church. It exists to teach and proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ in response to the command of Jesus in the context of the three angels messages as given in Revelation chapter 14 and verses 6 to 12. To honor this original purpose, the personal ministry's department continues to communicate the good news with the objective to win, to hold and to train for Jesus Christ in men, women, youth, boys and girls in all the world and to design programs and resources to help those areas of world where charging of the world, where charging growth is limited. The local charge personal ministry department like the Nairobi central charge has historically specialized in certain soul winning methods. Some of this, like door to door evangelism, it is the assumption of the purpose of the department that this is what the department has to specialize in and with that assumption, the church has specialized in it and is using it together with the material produced by the spiritual professor of Bible Discover School which are the study guides Amma Ugunruzi in helping to reach others. So, some of this, like door to door evangelism, distribution of literature, giving personal Bible studies, can be in the office, can be in the workplace, any other place, also lay preaching, organizing and running the community service program of the church including, for example, like the Dalka society. Rarely do we do these things today because we are so busy and you hear people say to fungulia what is up and then we put whatever we want there and those who could manage to take, they take on our behalf. Organizing the running annual gathering program is no longer existence today. Managing local charge correspondent schools that discover Bible schools where we have the Bible school coordinate in the local charge as the leader or the voice of professor leader. Corporating with the service school department in organizing and running service school action units. This one is there, but we are not talking about service school so much today, but out of observations today dear saints, we are very far from reading the word of God and the more so our service school quarterlies. We only open them service morning when mualimu stands and says let's open here. And so that is when we open it so we don't know what it was talking about. You hear I've been to places, I was in a class sometimes somewhere and the mualimu, a very respected personality in the society. He was teaching what I've never had since I was born. It was not in the service school quarterly, but he was saying you know on Monday, he opens on Monday, he begins talking about the shift when Monday is talking about the hours. So you wonder what is the problem here? Dear service school leaders, attend these classes, find out what is going on there, gather information, gather data, come together, analyze it, get away forward for making our service schools more active. Why do people come at 11 in charge? Because there is nothing interesting in the service school. So they stay wherever they are, they come on it for advice service. Once it is done, they go on a lecture in each other, wuko inje going to other things and other activities and that's the end of it. But dear people of God, we have our work to do. Ellen White says every true disciple is born into the kingdom of God as a missionary. Every one deserves wages page 195. So we need to cooperate with the service school department in organizing these units. We need to cooperate that department personal ministries is to cooperate with the local church pastor in the organization and the management of smaller group ministries. Let us remember that the personal ministry department and it is a ministry within the church and therefore the department and the pastor they work to get a hand in hand in reaching the community with the word of God. A brief historical background of the personal ministries. The personal ministries is a facet of the church whose beginning can be traced to a women's group that was established in 1869 in South Lancaster, Massachusetts such as called the Vigilant Missionary Society. The work of the Vigilant Missionary Society there was a missionary by the name S.N. Haskell. This group gave him the idea of establishing a paper that was called Tract and Emission in Societies in various New England conferences in 1870. So either directly or through the local societies this paper was circulated to the 70 day Adventist and the 70 day members to circulate these pamphlets to all people. They also conducted personal evangelism through vests, correspondents and helping the needy. In 1874 the general conference established a general tract and emission in society. They later renamed that tract, the international tract and emission in society when the general conference publishing department was established around 1901 it absorbed the international tract and the mission in society. In 1913 the fostering of lay evangelism was assigned to a separate subdivision called the home missionary. Some of you are older here you remember what used to be called home missionary or lay activity as we are going to look here. It was introduced in the department. After functioning for five years the home missionary branch was made a separate department in 1918. In 1915 the general conference recommended the appointment of home missionary secretaries to the levels of the general conference that divisions the unions and such like. And then that time in 1915 the general conference president's name was H.E. Daniels. He said the home missionary department is not a campaign it is a religious movement it is a revival of people religion in the church and the going forth to bear it to others. This department is to train men and women all over the world to go out about their homes to win souls to Christ. Bottom line calling people into accepting Jesus Christ as their personal savior. As time went by five areas of department of evangelical activities were developed. This is the Bible correspondence course with the voice of prophecy the community service which men on occasion will rarely do and then there was the lay Bible evangelism the literature distribution. Now the lay activities department came about in the year 1966. In a general conference session the home missionary now became the lay activities department and this is where I said for those who can remember those days after sabah school lessons you could get stewardship and development the youth and home and the family life families and all of them were put together. So the purpose of this was not intended to change the organization of that department but then as it was explained it was the purpose to make sure that we go all over the world to preach the word of God. In 1995 the church ministry department was dissolved again and the sabah school and personal ministers were combined into one department. This organization pattern at the conference mission at all levels. At the local church level sabah school and personal ministries continue to function as two separate entities although at the conference level at the union and going upwards sabah school and personal ministries is as one department but at the local church is as different entities. What is the personal ministry statement of purpose? It is equipping and mobilizing the membership to accomplish the world mission of the church. So when this work together then the question whom shall I send like I said here my Lord send me when the local church members are equipped they can answer that call anywhere wherever they are because God does not say that you must be at a certain place that is the only time you can do that. Dear members dear leaders let us move away from these things we are brought in the church where if someone does not address you by your title then it is not that it is not working meaning we have left the primary call of going and doing the work of God we are now taking care of our titles one day one time I mean I was taken to a place to work in this world and as I was new so the musees came the elders came and so I was greeting them you know innocently good morning elder greeting them all along before we ever meeting reaching at one of them he said excuse me pastor oh yes you must have respect to call people by their titles you know it is very nice let me help you this one is professor Suansu this is engineer Suansu this is doctor Suansu I didn't know they have those titles so I said it's okay fine so I was asking what is your title so that I may greet him with the title you can imagine the situation I found myself so I said it's okay but the powers of our pastor are also here Aba Pegiake nowhere else so using here I said as we come to worship in this church when you are coming here you make sure that you remove all your titles leave them at the gate with the watchmen enter here as a worshiper of God I have seen badges in some churches it is written chief head elder what I read in the Bible is chief of sinners so where do they get this chief head elder where is it written we are so much into nursing and the nurturing titles in the state of nurturing the word of God to help other people to accept Christ as their personal savior dear people of God let us move away for all those things our time is coming they will not help us in any way here is what Ellen White says the last statement as you come on stage song 633 she says I had somebody say we knew that the judgments of God were coming upon the earth but we did not know that they could come so soon others with agonized voices said you knew why then did you not tell us we did not know on every side I had similar words of reproach spoken a time is coming when proportion closes people when we are crying here and there when the word is closed it is no more there then we will be coming up crying and others will be asking so you knew this time was coming and we were working together we were selling cows together we were selling vegetables together we were working in the same school we were working in the same university we went to the same school we were working in the same organization you knew this and you never told us why did you not tell us and then we will say we did not know it was coming so soon and yet we have the word of God here my challenge to all of us is let's go back into the word of God let us read the word of God so that when we are equipped we are able to help others whom shall I send is what goes through the voice of prophecy the personal ministries because they have been called upon in the local church may God help us as we sing the wondrous love of Jesus so that we share this wondrous love as we prepare for home in Jesus name shall we stand as we sing that song 633 634 Gracious father in heaven we thank you for the privilege you have given us in reminding us Lord to participate in reminding us many we are going to lose what we have looked at this afternoon as challenged as Lord to awaken and redirect our thinking, our aspirations towards the heaven to be gained. There will be rejoicing when we get there.  And finally this world to be cleansed for the saints who are rejoicing forever to dwell throughout the eternal ages. How painful it will be that those who had this opportunity misused the opportunity. And it will be a thousand years too late when saints had left for heaven and stayed a thousand years coming back to this world to witness the destruction of the world forever.  Gracious Father forgive us our shortcomings hold our people hands open our minds to come back to you through the reading of the world. And give us the energy and the capacity Lord to share it with the others in preparation for your soon return. We thank you Lord to this end. Continually bless us for we pray in Jesus name. Amen. Say for the nice presentation by Elpasta Airere. Amen. Thank you pastor. We will invite you another time to continue sharing with us. So that I let the music team continue. We will have the choir at four and I believe they'll be in the main sanctuary. Elda's voice. I know we have a big Sabbath coming. Elda's voice will go to the music room at the back so that they get ready for their council and their music choir practice. And I would like to say that after this we'll be at Liberty too. If you have any departmental meetings or councils you can go ahead with them. Otherwise we have our midweek prayers on Wednesday please. If you're able to come physically to church at five please don't miss. If you will be busy please join online because we'll be having it on WhatsApp. I mean Facebook and YouTube. We would like us to pray so that the music team can continue. Let's pray. Gracious Father who art in heaven. We want to thank you in a special way because of the word we've got through your servant pastor Nata Noirere. Lord you've strengthened him and you've given him the message. Thank you because it has reached us. Lord speak to us and continue touching us so that we may spread out this voice of hope. The voice which talks about the end time, the present truth so that your children who are still out there may get to hear the truth and may choose to follow you. So that Lord all of us may enter that kingdom you prepared for us. As we leave this sanctuary Lord be with us. Protect us, guide us. As we walk on the byways, the walkways using various means Lord I pray that you may work with us and protect us until we get back to worship again next time. And even for the midweek prayers Lord I pray that you may help us to find time to hear your voice. As we get to various meetings and practices Lord I pray that you may be with us until the end of the Sabbath because I'm praying in Jesus name. Amen. So we'll do two last songs for this Sabbath. We have just sung that when we all get to heaven or to joy that would be. But really we speak of this place what must it be to be there. And so our next song will be from our SDA hymnal song number 434. We speak of the realms. It's to heaven and we are going to do our last song and it'd like us all to raise for this song. It's in Kiswahili from Nimbosaki Christo. Number 8 is Sinina Tisa. The grace of our Lord Jesus and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us now.


The Moon and the European Space Exploration really will hear why we should go back to the Moon after 44 years. And we are very pleased to have Jan Werner as our honored guest today this evening and he is the current Director General of the European Space Agency. He is also the former Chairman of the Executive Board of the German Aerospace Centre also known as DLR. You would expect that he would be an aerospace engineer, but he started out as a civil engineer. For the Germans, that's heißt Bauingenieur. He got the Federal Cross of Merit First Class for his continuous engagement for young academics. And unfortunately to list all of his doctorates would really take too much time off of his limited talk time. So please give it up for Jan Werner. Please give him a round of applause for Jan Werner. Yes, okay, no, no. We have to be quiet because they did not give me enough time. So you have to be quiet and I recommend you to listen and see. And if possible do the whole lecture I will give to you in slow motion afterwards because otherwise I cannot do it in 30 minutes. Slow motion. This is a question I get nearly every day. I have nothing to do with it. But the question is we turn off investment always. That's the money. If you are a university, you know we have something like galaxies. I'm rotating and according to all our theories which we know about Newton and how the speed at the output should be slower than in the outer part of the galaxy. It should be slower than in the inner part. Otherwise the stars would fly out. But we see that the speed in the outer part is exactly the same as in the inner part. We do not understand this effect. That's why we gave this matter a new name, dark matter. So it's not something we see. It's just why I'm talking about it. It's just why I'm talking about it. Why am I talking about it? There is also another effect. Dark energy. If you have a big bang and then the universe is expanding according to just a low gravity, this velocity, because the gravity should decrease, the velocity should decrease, and finally it should implode again before total millions of years, 400 enough, the universe behaved like we thought by connecting to the universe accelerating again. Now why? It has changed and is accelerating again, and we do not know why. That's why we call it dark energy. Dark energy and dark matter are over 90% of the matter. The universe. There are also effects that take place in our solar system. Scientists have tried to prove that Pluto is the last planet in our solar system. Planet. That may not always be a planet. Planet. Always. But no, no. Later. No time. Pluto is the last micro-planet or something like that. And if you try to prove it with a theory and suddenly you have found out that there must be another planet. Nobody has ever seen it, but it seems to give something that moves further than Pluto. We don't know the size, we don't know anything. But this is all an example where we need curiosity. Neugierde is one of the most important drivers that keeps us going. Look at Einstein. He knows the general relativity theory. He also had a special relativity theory. The statement, the time is slowed down by gravity and in a general relativity theory the return of investment of this equation what is the benefit to society? If you are a politician, you will get an easy answer. No meaning. Everything is ready. This is the best sentence you can get. The question is, is it really just an academic idea without any consequences? If you look to satellite navigation, satellite navigation, really fast, really fast, that means it has to have an effect on the timing. They are far away from the Earth, so gravity is much lower than what we also have on the timing. And the satellite navigation satellites are nothing more than really exact blocks. So if these two effects are there, then there should be an effect also on the navigation system. Without knowing this theory, we would have taken an error of about 500 meters per hour in this navigation. That means we have to be curious, even if we don't know what it does. We have to stay curious to be able to explore other things. No, no, no, no, it's okay. No, no, no, no, no, it's okay. We have, but we have also concrete aspects, concrete aspects, concrete aspects, concrete aspects. We have global effects that we have to fight. We have climate change, immigration. You can read all of this yourself on the photo. But also curiosity, curiosity. That's another kind of challenge. She brought us out of the caves to the mountains. She brought us to the oceans. But I don't know why, but we did it. And that's why curiosity is the most important driver in what I call space 4.0. In what I like to call space 4.0. We look to commercialize it, where we look to commercialize it, where we look to digitalize it, where we digitalize it, and so on. And what you see here is what we at ESA are doing. We are coming up with some aspects. We are looking to observe, we are coming up with some different aspects. We observe Earth observation, we observe the earth navigation, we look at the start systems, we try to get the systems into space victory and meteorites. We are looking to look at new technologies and new technologies and various things to work with the industry. ESA is the European Space Agency with 22 participants, with the EU, with Slovenia, with China.  We are an international we have an international character who can work with others as a broker, as a mediator and as a possibility to explore the space for us today is all the evidence in giving some data to the ground. But space is now a satellite that sends data to the earth. Not only new information, but also new technologies. Also, new technologies in Space 4.0 we also use technology from the earth in space. Space 4.0 also means that more people not only politicians, not only space agents but also to lead these people from different countries we did a lot. Space, the final frontier you should know it means development. I could let this film run for half an hour but I couldn't continue. If you are interested you can see the whole video on our website. We had 2000 participants from over 22 countries and talked about different questions and a real debate and the results were a lot. I did a lot I wouldn't go through all but only the last one. I was very surprised. 81% said we should use natural raw materials from the earth. We should collect raw materials from the earth and use them. We can discuss that. It seems to be a very important question. 96% they see the earth as a universe of possibilities 84% they see the earth as a place that should be protected from pollution and so on. That is the most important part of it. I said it is very important and I said the research is very important. This is a philosophy. We will not stop researching things until we come back and see the place for the first time. I don't understand this sentence but that's why I like it and that's why I use it. Water is something that we use every day. Have you ever thought about water not only that you need it in the toilet or if you want to drink something? Water is very interesting. Water covers over 71% of an anomaly of water. That means that the ice is lighter and water is at 4 degrees. It is not poisonous. It has no taste. It has no smell. It has a high surface tension and there is a very exciting thing that we do with water. If you take the hydrogen out or replace it with deuterium if you add a proton you have heavy water and we have light water and we have many other uses every day. But the question is where does the water come from? Some people say it doesn't matter we have 30% of the surface not from the water bed but as a new year person that's an important question for me where does the water come from? That's an important question because the comet is frozen material and that's why we have planned a mission called Rosetta. It took us 10 years until we were there and without any expectations we didn't change oil of course we updated the software but the processor was more than 10 years old at the end. It was a very old computer in an area that is a lot heavier than here on earth it was a very heavy mission and at the end of November 12th 2014 we landed on the comet and that's the selfie that's the selfie that I was asked before landing what was the probability I was asked before landing and I said I have no idea we do it for the first time I have no idea about the probabilities but in fact we landed and because the gravity is so light we had the fear that we would jump back like in the trampoline Rosetta has a simple a therapun to fix the ground which unfortunately didn't work it also has a motor which should hold on the ground that's why the probe was hooked on the asteroid and finally we landed on the ground I need your silence because I want to show you the sound that at the first landing I also have it in slow motion for you so it's the sound in the legs and the reason we measured this was in order to get some input about the quality about the surface toughness and by animal instinct you can directly get very amazing and I'm not mentioned about the water issue and we looked at this comet all about water and it was water and it was water and it was water yes, there is water there is organic material but the relationship between heavy and light water was completely different than the one in the world on earth it's about constant on the comet it's about three times the amount of heavy water the question remains where does this water come from possibly from such comets possibly from others now this is a very important film that will show you which different cultures we have so many after it landed and jumped a few times we didn't know where it was because we were very very happy at 5th September 2016 we finally found a very dark place that was the reason why we couldn't charge it again because of the batteries and that's what we wanted to do and that's the last picture of the main probe of Rosetta which finally landed on the comet we got the information from the surface on the surface I already said Rosetta, Philae and the comet and these comets are so black like coal so you need a very special camera to shoot pictures of it because it has more than 50 shades of grey and this camera this camera technology was also used to fight the earth against fire and that's something I always say yes, everything is good we don't need that but you understand now we also have people in the space we have the Apollo early to the moon we had the space and of course they all know that the Americans won but one of the technologies of the Soviet Union was very important and that's the most famous picture I'm sure you all know that it's Buzz Aldrin, the second man on the moon he was very, very sad that he couldn't be the first and so he always asked Neil Armstrong come, take a picture, take a picture here in the picture you can see Neil Armstrong over there in the visor this picture is photoshopped by NASA yes, they were on the moon yes, I asked NASA administration what you really were on the moon they said it would be much more expensive to keep all the people quiet and they said this picture is photoshopped because NASA thought that it should be a bit darker than the night and unfortunately Neil Armstrong already cut the picture he missed something and so they put some black on it so they could show that there is still a black sky over there why do I know that? there is this picture, here this picture the antenna is missing the antenna is missing on this picture and that's the reason why it's photoshopped but trust me, they were on the moon so in 2014 the crime crisis and it's still going on and it's very important to see that problems can be solved in the world that's a picture after the crime crisis as an American shows a Russian and a European astronaut with a German accent like me that's Alexander Gerst and they sat here for minutes and then they stood together in front of the Soyuz rocket that's my hand by the way and they are here and they are now moving the rockets I shouldn't say goodbye but it's not so good then they took off in Kazakhstan and that's the place where they went the Americans, the Russians, the Japanese the Europeans in the International Space Station Alexander did a lot of experiments looked at the earth and reported about it and the Americans say that's not okay he shouldn't think about emotions but about research he did pictures like that he did pictures like that and said there are explosions and bombs on the earth that's something that shouldn't happen imagine an alien flying over the earth and sees that he probably wouldn't have a good impression that's a picture that I like and here is his landing the Russians call it a soft landing because you have to catch it with a soft part of the body as you can see it looks really hard but in good condition and the question was how do we get it home and I asked the Americans can't we bring it to Europe and they said you have to have a plane that has a emergency station and where do you get an emergency station in a plane I asked the Air Force and the Minister didn't accept it because the control numbers wouldn't pay so I looked for another one and they said the ADAC he had a plane and I called the president of that club and said I have a president and he called the ADAC and asked can you bring us a plane that has to fly to Europe he said yes if they allow us to publish it in our monthly magazine the ADAC Motor World and this is one of the most famous journals the other one is from the pharmacies the other one is from the pharmacies which also has a big circulation and he said I have one last question is he a member and I could answer yes Alexander is a member of the ADAC he was brought back back back to Germany to Cologne but next there shouldn't be a final goal we should go on to Mars NASA says we want to go to Mars and Journey to Mars means more than just a single flight to Mars but Mars is a journey it takes about two years to fly back and forth because of the different routes we have some of the problems you can fly to the moon between Christmas and New Year so instead of Hamburg you can also fly to the moon but some companies have suggested a way to go to Mars I think that's a bad idea but what's happening now is a European mission, ExoMars we want to go to Mars but without humans so a robotic mission the first one started in 2016 the next one comes in 2020 we want to go to Mars we found Mars on Mars and the question is whether it comes from a biologist or from another planet and we started this mission in Kazakhstan I like this picture very much it's a French Italian leader of the different space agencies so we see again the world that it's about national problems that's what we can do this is a picture that I was very happy about the space that flies to Mars and with this picture I was sure, yes, we really go to Mars and then we had this nice picture with the idea how we land on Mars so we have two spacecraft one is an orbiter and the other is this test module that the atmosphere ends with a heat shield then we have a parachute the heat shield turns off then we have the separation of the parachute then we have the fire of the the engines and until then it was ok you know the story everything green you can forget the problem was the spacecraft saw that it was under the surface and then it makes no sense to have a parachute so it solved the parachute and it also has the the brakes were turned off too early and then we had a hard landing not exactly where we wanted it but almost we had some points because of the parachute because of the heat shield and because of the impact of the landing we don't know what this track is there but I'm sure this picture shows the orbiter that it is really active that it is a scientific part of this operation we got all the data from the landing and also from the surface and this gas orbiter also worked as a further landing and he did that perfectly this was the press that said that the landing was completely destroyed very very bad here you know another guy, this is Elon Musk this is his third attempt to land on a drone ship everything was fine until here everything was excellent but then something was not great and that was the end of this rocket now the question is what what does the press say about it a similar case the satellite turns in orbit and this is the german newspaper and this is the german press the newspaper Space X has already failed the american have reported this a little differently Space X published video of the fast landing Elon Musk reports the ship is fine, small repairs cool day now what are the goals for the future, where do we go you know the village what is in the village different interests, different actors different activities and different calendars but a common understanding to do something together we are a village a community, a concept a concept is not a single project there is no fixed schedule from end to end blah blah blah blah but it shows the places where they are needed and these two things and the concept is together in the concept of moon surface operations we want to do international, human, robotic public and private partnerships science and the whole team together we want to do moon science we do not understand the moon we can do moon science we can do cosmology especially if we are on the dark side on the back not the dark side of Pink Floyd we can look out, we can do basic research, technology, transportation communication, logistics do planet defense and we can use this moon village as our start to move on and it should be open for everyone this is a picture and I hope that this community understands that this picture is the CCC vision of the moon vision and it already has a CCC flag moon village is the American following with the FAA is part of this concept which companies that they say they have the right architecture this is a Scandinavian others are of the opinion they could use the moon for other aspects and we could really see a long distance flight that means the journey to Mars is not is not a contradiction because if we want to go there we have to stop at the moon and I hope that you do not stay calm but stay active and create a moon community thank you for your attention thank you Mr. Werner thank you Mr. Werner for this very good talk we have a little time for two questions but only if you keep the questions very short so first I can comment second a question at least two sentences short question what do you think is the first hardware of the moon village on the moon and maybe when? it will be on Monday that is clear and as you can see this is not a plan in which ESA is taking specific steps we have worldwide different actors scientists from all over the world who have most of the plans to do this in the next year or later and many things I don't know maybe scientific research projects maybe just proofs that they want to do on the side of ESA and we do something with Russia we do a lunar resource my idea is that this architecture should be I don't want to decide when the future comes do we have a question from the internet? do we have a question from the internet? nothing yet question do we also work together with India and China? of course you see the beauty of ESA is that we have 22 participants and so we have no problem to work together with other countries and that is important don't forget about values don't forget about the things that are really good our cooperation is a base for us a strong point for all citizens of the world that's why I say but sure we don't have any more time for questions now but Mr Werner said that he is still available for a few minutes I thank you it was really great it was great to be here I thank you for being here for the first time if you liked it I will come again


It's not not getting that by me not today Nope, and you can see it's got a little run I think it's a two-seamer coming back into the zone and real Mudo. I don't think he's sitting fastball there I think he's just trying to spoil Pitches or react to the pitch and this is what I mean on the left You have his swing at the first pitch and you see his leg on the left side how it comes to a full 90 degrees. He's really Shifting his weight and trying to launch and he swings big we're on the right side He does an abbreviated version of this so it's like a two-strike approach almost But he's already choking up his bat, but he is getting his foot down earlier So he can be more reactionary big swing on the left kind of fouls it off on the right to stay alive O2 again, they go change up and now he's able to just react again and float that in O2 change up in the zone. We're Mudo's on base Here's all four on the left You have the two first swings where he's full 90 degrees with his leg kick really getting his what they call a Swing off to try and smash the ball and then with two strikes You see changes his approach a little bit and it's more Abbreviated and he's a little more able to just kind of throw his bat at the ball Which allows him to spoil the fastball and then hit the change up for a hit which sets the scene for Bryce Harper Who is a superstar? He's won the MVP. He may win another big-ass contract fastball swings and misses He's down. Oh one. It's like alright outside fastballs. That what you're doing. That what we're doing I'm all about it up and in. Nope picture changes it tries to get him a little uncomfortable So we can go back to the outside fastball Harper fouls it back again 98 1 2 outside fastball again 100 Harper fouls it off again Then 98 low and away so they're trying all the way they did low and they did away in the middle away up top Away down low Harper's fouling it all back. He says okay change it up. I'm gonna throw the change up now All right, this is gonna be a good pitch catcher says get it down. Keep it low and Harper Spits on it and I mean the the catcher for the podgers was like that was an unbelievable take that he didn't swing at this That's a perfect two-strike change up. You're supposed to get fooled on it. Harper didn't And just disappears so now Harper's like come back with that fastball. Let's see it got it 99 outside Smashes it opposite field for the go-ahead home run and he is becoming a Hero an absolute here. Look at that. Bam Awesome transfer of weight watches it the whole way. Yeah, look at his eyes. Keep your eye on the ball It's a real thing kids. It's a real thing. They teach you and look this is the first pitch Which was 98 on the left that he swung and fouled back and the other one's the one he gets So sorry on the left is the one he hits for the home run on the right's the one he fouled back And I you know, I can't really see that much of a difference and approach or swing here.  Oh my gosh, I just did that whoa Hair looks great takes it all in like looks at the crowd like holy smokes. That's awesome. Look at his lower body Look at that shift. Boom. It's a lower body. It's almost violent like bam Throws all his weight leg up leg down and full transfer of weight from one to the other And there's his upper body and it's a little lighter. It's really just swinging the arms out there.  They're already standing. He's got his hands in the air first so he wins and Harper watches it as he wins and then I love this kind of does a little shrug off shrug shrug tip of The cap because he's a gentleman Swarber. Oh my god. Oh my god.  You got it the bullpen running out Thor jumping up and down I'm going crazy. This is like striking a pose looking great on the mound. I love this shot I love this shot. I've never really seen this shot before So I like that they gave it to us FS1 But look at the crowd you can see him you see him kind of waving right now Pom-poms waving clapping clapping clapping now when the pitch comes Everything is like stopped and then mayhem This kid the kid right here front bottom, he's got his arms stuck in his poncho. There's right arms out in his left arm Just struggling Ball comes down they go nuts and you got real Mudo rounding second jump in an up and down in screen I like that shot a lot.
