Okay, so let me just share the notes as well, right? Okay, so we looked at how Paul was saying, reiterating the ill effects of anger, right? Be angry but do not sin and don't let the sun go down on your wrath.  And so that's going to be destructive for yourself, right? So even though it might be justified in the sense of feeling that anger because something wrong has been done, some injustice, but you deal with that anger, you know, let it be a righteous response. And so, you know, you do not sin because of that anger, right? Okay, verse 28, some more practical things.  That he may have something to give him who has need. So if your person is stealing, don't steal anymore, but you work and be a blessing to others. And that lack that you see in someone else may be full, may be satisfied because of your labour. And so do that. So do not steal, do not take away but really add to people's lives, right? Fulfill their need in people's lives rather than taking away from someone you actually add to their life, right? So that's what we see in verse 28 and then 29 onwards, 29 and 30.  So let no unedifying or corrupt word that is destructive. Let it not proceed from your mouth. You don't speak such words and the word corrupt there means something that is rotten, something that is decaying, something that is not fit for use. Which is bad quality, which is worthless, it's rotten, something that is not fit for consumption.  So something like that, let it not be part of you. So you don't speak those words, right? Let there be no communication which is like this, right?  Now again, the understanding is this, you have the life of God, you are connected to the life of God and you have your work walking in righteousness. You put on the new man who's created in, that is verse 24, created in true righteousness and holiness. Now since this is who you have become, this is who you are. So you don't walk like the rest of the Gentiles. Now this is again opposite of the rest of the Gentiles, how they walk. So what do you do?  But rather, let it be something that is good for necessary edification. So you're saying, let it be good, something that is good, something that is edifying. That it may impart grace to the hearer. So every time we speak edifying, when we communicate in an edifying manner, right? When we speak the words of God, when we speak the truth of God, when we speak gracious words, there is an impartation of grace, right? There is an impartation of grace. So grace we know is divine empowering, right? So there is a divine empowering that happens to the hearer when we speak edifying words. We know the principle of speaking words, the principle of declaring truth, right? There is a change, there is a shift, there is a breaking down, there is an establishing that happens when we speak the truth of God's word, when we declare God's word, right? So here you're saying let it impart grace. So there is an empowering that happens, empowering of grace that happens, divine empowering that happens to the hearer when they receive such words, right? Maybe about themselves, maybe about their circumstance, maybe or something else. Let it be something that's edifying, okay? And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God. So if it's unedifying, if it's something that's destructive, morally corrupt, such a communication, the Holy Spirit is grieved, right? The Holy Spirit is grieved within us and we feel the emotion of the Spirit of God being grieved in our heart, in our spirit. We know it, right? We know it immediately that, okay, I've said something out of blind. I've said something out of place and we're trying to justify it. Or maybe, you know, it was okay, it was, but then you know that suddenly you feel that, right? You feel that loss of joy, maybe, you feel that loss of peace and you know that the Holy Spirit is, you have grieved the heart of God, right? So the Holy Spirit is grieved. So saying, do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption, redemption, sorry. So the Holy Spirit has come and he has made a mark and you are marked by the Spirit and we see all that in verse chapter one, right? Chapter one, Ephesians chapter one verse 13, it says, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, right? The signet mark, seal of ownership, there is a mark of ownership in each one of our lives, right? It's not a physical mark, but it's a spiritual mark and we've been marked by the Holy Spirit. And what does it mean?  The mark of ownership is on us and it's caused by the Holy Spirit, right? You were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, okay? So here, again, we see the same thing. You were sealed for the day of redemption. This seal, this mark of ownership that he has on you is not just temporary, but it's for the day of redemption and we'll receive glorified bodies when this salvation is complete. So don't grieve the Holy Spirit. You know, he has actually, he has great plans for you and he has put this seal on you, this mark on you and it's for the day of redemption, right? It's not for just for today and tomorrow, but it's for the day of redemption. With that in mind, he has come and indwelt and he's put his seal on you. So saying let all was 31, let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamour means loud quarreling, evil speaking, let it be put away from you along with malice, evil intent. And so this responsibility again, it's for the believer. This choice the believer has to make just like how we saw in verse 22 that you put off concerning your former conduct, the old man. You put off concerning your former conduct. So it's again a responsibility, the responsibility of the believer, right? So let everything, these things, bitterness and wrath and anger and clamour and evil speaking, let it be put away from you with all malice, with all evil intentions, let it be put away, let it not be part of your life. And be kind to one another, tender hearted, forgiving one another even as God and Christ forgive you. So saying you instead of this, you be like this, be kind, be tender hearted, be forgiving. And the standard for forgiving is again very interesting, right? It's challenging and interesting. It says even as God in Christ forgave you. So that's the model or that's the design of forgiveness. So which means that we need the Holy Spirit, we need the empowering of the Holy Spirit, the grace of God to be able to forgive like how he did or how he forgives. So, but it is possible because it's an instruction here because it's something that is an expectation, it's a command. It is possible because God will not require us to do something. Even with this empowering, he will not require us to do something that is not possible. That is not, you know, that is impossible. If something is impossible, something cannot be done. He will not require of it from us, you know, because he wants us to do something and live in a certain way that means it is possible, right? So this is what he says, you know, even as God in Christ forgave you, that's the standard by which you must forgive. Okay. Okay, that brings us to the end of chapter five, chapter four, sorry. So any questions or anything that you want to share here, anything that you noticed, anything that you really, you know, something that really spoke to you, maybe you can share that in chapter four. What is it that really caught your attention? What is it that really, you know, something that was highlighted for you? Something that you learned newly or something that was, you know, that you said, okay, this is something that reiterated anything. You can put it on the chat, you can share as well. Sid, what do you think, anything from chapter four, what we did now, till now? I just wanted to know from each of you guys, right? So Sid, Thomas, Dave, Prince, looking at chapter four, what is it that really caught your attention? This is what I want to share. That choice is for the, yeah, everything God has provided for us. But we need to take some choice that we need to push on that, that choice, whatever we do, only glory for God. So we need to remember that this choice must be towards to God so that we can live our life holy. This choice is very important. Right. Yeah, so yeah, that's very good to Prince. Yeah, so because he has given us everything, he has made us, he has given us and the very life of God himself, the life that flows in God. We are partakers of that. That's a awesome privilege and it's for a reason that we might live for righteousness. And we have even as new creation as we've been created in true righteousness and holiness. But that's one side of it. The other side is, of course, we need to live. We need to make decisions. It can be moment by moment or when we come to certain things that happen in our lives, we need to make those important decisions to live for righteousness. And that ability is with us, that ability God has given us. But we need to take it. So that's so important. We need to remember that. Yeah. Anything else? Kanan, anything else that caught your attention so far? Dave, anything you want to share? Anything at all? You can even put it in the chat. All right. What did you notice? What did you, what was highlighted for you in chapter four? About the five-fold ministry, the very plan of God, God's plan to call some into this five-fold ministry and to place them in the body of Christ. You know, it's really amazing, right? The plan of God just, you know, that he would call, he would empower, he would grace them with certain gifts. And when they steward it well, when they live it well, it will be, it will cause edification for the body, right? So that's an amazing truth that if they steward it well by the power of God, that it's going to be a blessing, it's going to cause increase, it's going to cause edification. The other thing that we see also is that, you know, for us as ministers of God, those of us who are called, this should be something that we keep in mind, right? That we are, yes, we are called to preach, to share the gospel. Yes, we are called to teach and, you know, and preach sermons maybe as part of that and live a life that is an example to them. All that is, all those are small things. But when you connect it all together and you see that, yes, the purpose for that is this. That every believer would also be equipped to serve in the same manner. The saints, the equipping of the saints, the consecrated ones would be equipped to minister. So when we look at our church and we see that, okay, everyone there is called for ministry. It may not be a quote unquote full-time ministry. It may not be a pulpit kind of a ministry, but everyone is called to serve Christ. Everyone is called to live their life for the sake of the kingdom of God. Now it might be very, very different. It might look very different for each person. You know, they might be doctors, they might be engineers, they might be business people, they might be teachers. They might be homemakers. But the thing is that each person is called to be a minister. Now if that vision or that truth needs to be imprinted or communicated, shared and ingrained in people's hearts. So every believer, if they come and if they come to church and they receive that revelation from the Holy Spirit, yes, I'm called to be a minister. Wherever I am, whatever I am, I might be a student, but I'm called to minister, I'm called to serve. So to engage with God, to ask God, God, what is it? In what way can I be a servant? In what way can I minister? So it's a very enriching life. People are not just coming to attend, attend some meeting.  So people are not coming just to attend a meeting and go back, but they are coming to be equipped. They're coming to be edified and to go and serve. So that changes the whole perspective of church, changes the whole perspective of why I'm part of a church. And that changes the perspective of the pastor as well. You know, why am I leading this church? And so, you know, why am I teaching these things to the people? So the whole thing changes. Okay, so Dave is saying, okay, living in the new man is ultimately to live a life of maturity, which is to come to the fullness of Christ likeness. Yes. So that is what we see that to the perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ was 13. So to come to that place of maturity, to come to that stature of Christ. So we know that there is more, right? We know that there is always more. As a believer, we've come so far. Looking back, our life has changed. Our knowledge of God has changed and our experience and encounter with God has grown over the years, maybe. But there is more to come to the place of Christ likeness. Christ likeness, which means compassion, love, forgiveness and everything. The nature of Christ, the character of Christ, be seen in us. The power with which he ministered to be seen in us, the love with which he ministered to be seen in us. That is the character, right? Christ likeness in all aspects. The power aspect and the character aspect both put together that we will come to that place of Christ likeness. Okay, so let's move on to chapter five. Let me just share the notes. Let me just read the first seven verses, chapter five. Therefore be imitators of God as dear children and walk in love as Christ also has loved us and given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling aroma. But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you as is fitting for saints. Neither filthiness nor foolish talking nor co-gesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know that no fornicator, unclean person or not covetous man who is an idolator has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.  Therefore do not be partakers with them. So he says starting by saying be imitators of God. So who's an imitator? An imitator is one who mimics, who does what the other person does. That person is an imitator saying he's doing just like it and children sometimes do that. They imitate parents talk like them or to irritate one another they do whatever the other person is doing. The other person put their hand on the head. The other one also puts the hand just to say you know they're saying something. This one also says the same thing.  So people are saying be imitators of God. The way he is what we saw we see that Christ is the expression of God in bodily form. That's what Colossians 1 15 he's the image of the invisible God the first one of all creation. So what you see in him what you learned about him you imitate as the children as his dear children. You imitate God. And then he says we have so many we have received so many things. We are actually in a second Peter first chapter 1 and verse 3 talks about how we are partakers or we have fellowship with the divine nature. We have become partakers. Now this is what you know the whole New Age teaching twists and says okay you are God. No that is not true. God is God. He is apart from us. He has created us. He is creator and we are not divine. We are finite. He's infinite. But in Christ he has brought us to a place where we can be partakers of this divine nature where we can receive this God kind of life. And so which this enables us to be an imitator of God to walk just like he did to live just like he did so which is a great privilege right because we are finite beings. But we can walk like I like him because and because he's called us to imitate him right in all aspects. So we have a Zoe kind of God kind of life. We are created in the image of God and we can walk in righteousness and through holiness and there are some things that we need to do. We need to renew our mind. We need to make Godly choices and we need to put to death the works of the flesh. Right. These are things that is required of us. Right. And yeah, the important thing is that God would, he would never require us to do something that we are not capable of doing. He would not say, okay, you go climb this mountain. If we knew that we would not be able to climb the mountain, there's no, you know, why should he even say that?  If he knew that we cannot do that, then why would he do that? Why would he say that? Why would he ask us to do that? Right. So the thing is that whatever he has asked us to do, he knows that because of his power in us and through us, we are well able to be like that. We are well able to be imitators of God. Okay. Verse two, walk in love as Christ also has loved us and given himself for us and offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling aroma. So the kind of love that he walked in, the kind of forgiveness that he walked in, you know, that he lived, those are examples for us to live. Okay. So he's saying very clearly walk in love. Okay. Walk in this agape, this God kind of love. Okay. Let me just give me one second and walk in agape as Christ also has walked in this agape and he has given himself unconditionally, sacrificially, he's given himself for us. So walk in that love. Okay. And verse three as a warning, but he goes on to say, you know, fornication and uncleanness, covetousness, all these things. Let it not even be named among you, which means that, you know, don't even consider it. Don't even be, don't let it be part of your conversation. Don't even casually mention these things.  Let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saying. So he's saying, you know, when it comes to these things of physical sin and, and, you know, material sin and, you know, covetousness and, and all kinds of filthiness is saying you need to distance yourself because you're a consecrated one. Right.   So you live in such a manner that is appropriate for you. That is fitting for saints. And so you live in such a manner and let it not even be named, named among you. So, so that is what he was for.  So filthiness and foolish talking and cause justing, which means that, you know, some kind of joking or jokes, even you will be mindful of that. It might be, you know, you think that you're saying something funny. But the thing is, it's, it's, it's not really, it's, it's in bad sense. It is not, it is not something that is morally good. Okay. So those kinds of jokes. Right. So cause justing. Okay. So that's kind of, you know, maybe it's, it's, it's immoral. It could be vulgar. It could be, it could be witty, but vulgar. Right.  Right. But saying something that is unedifying, something that is not helping. Okay.  Right. So you're saying, let it not be part of you. Neither filthiness and which is something that's obscene, something that is shameful. You know, let it not be part of your life. Okay. And saying, you know, which, which is not helping, right, which is not helping you in any way, which are not fitting. But rather giving of thanks to God, which means we are considering certain other things, apart from this, and which leads us to give thanks to him. Okay. Verse five, for this, you know, that no fornicator and clean person covetous man and ideally who is an idolator. Okay. So, so a cover covetousness leads to idolatry because you know, you've created something which you're holding on to as something that is better than God. Okay. Something that is of highest value. And you're coveting it. You know, I want this rather than God, rather than God himself. You know, this is what you, this is what you want. This is what you need. You're saying this is what I want. You're covetous.  And he's continuing to live that way. Okay. So just this puts that tag fornicator, which means that frequent, regular, sinful lifestyle in this manner. So saying no fornicator, no covetous man, and later has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Okay. You cannot hope to receive something or receive an inheritance in the kingdom of God. Okay. So let no one deceive you with empty words. Let's no one say anything, you know, apart from the saying, oh, it's okay. You can continue to live like this.  God will accept you. That is what it's coming to know the world is saying, okay, this is, you can live like this. You can live a sinful life. You can live a compromising life. And God is okay with that. Well, it's not. Saying, let no one deceive you with these empty words. Okay. These kind of words, which lack power, words which lack truth. So let no one deceive with that. Those kind of words saying words which are, which do not hold truth. Okay. So let no one deceive you. It's empty. Right. The brain, morally empty, doesn't have truth, doesn't have power. It's not, it's not true. So let no one deceive you because of these things, the wrath of man, sorry, wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Okay. So these are inappropriate for the saints. And because one lives in that kind of a lifestyle. And you know, we need to know that he's addressing believer, the believer or the believers saying, if you're going to have this as part of your lifestyle, then you have no inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God. Okay. So it's a warning. Right. It's a warning to be discerning.  It's okay to indulge. It's okay to be like this. It's a warning against all that because you could lose your inheritance in the kingdom. Right. So as believers, so what happens is that, you know, we know that sin deceives. Right. Sin deceives us. Sin takes us to a place far away from God and thinks that, okay, sin makes us feel that, okay, maybe, you know, things will be fine with God. God will be okay with it. I'm talking about, you know, a sinful lifestyle, right? It says fornicator, unclean person, covetous person, idolator, a lifestyle, right? Which is that is the pattern. You know, as a believer, if we do that, do that, we know that it sin will deceive. Right. Sin deceives us. Sin brings us to a place of hardening ourselves against God, right? Which we see in Hebrews. Right. We see that. Well, do not know. I think it's Hebrews three, which says that it sought one another daily while it is called today, lest any of you be hardened to the deceitfulness of sin. So sin deceives. And sin also hardens our heart. Hardens our heart against what? Against God, against his voice, against his instructions. So we become hardened, not sensitive, not wanting to, our hearts are not tender towards God anymore. Right. So that is what it means. So it could take us to a place of rejecting God, rejecting Christ. Right. It could take us to a place of just deceiving ourselves, saying it is fine, but we actually are rejecting Christ. Okay, so is a warning says, do not do that. Do not be partakers with them.  The wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. You know, we see that in John chapter three, okay, John chapter three verse 17 verse 18 actually, right, says he who believes in him is not condemned, but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he is not believed in the name of the only God. And so the thing is that the condemnation is there already, because they have not believed. If you look at Romans chapter one, Romans chapter one talks about how, you know, the wrath of God is upon man. Verse chapter one and verse 18 for the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness. Okay, so the wrath of God, the condemnation resides upon those who are condemned who do not know him. And so here he's saying, you know, do not be partakers of them. Do not be partakers of them. Do not have anything to do with those kind of things. The wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. Don't forget that. So don't compromise.  Okay, it's a very sober warning. Verse seven, do not be partakers with them. Okay, verse eight onwards for you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord walk as children of light for the fruit of the spirit is in all goodness, righteousness and truth, finding out what is acceptable to the Lord and have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them for it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret, but all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light for whatever makes manifest is light.   This was your, this was your life.  You were in, in your life, which was totally cut away from, from the light. So he's saying you were once darkness, you know, the very nature that you had was figuratively when he says darkness, he's saying you were alienated from God. You do not have the light of God in you. Right. So you were sinful. Your nature was unrighteousness or sin. So you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Okay. You've come to the Lord. You are in the kingdom of God. You are the light in the Lord. So walk as children of light. Okay. Walk as children of light. You know, the Bible talks about how in him is life and this life was a light of man. Right. We, we look in maybe we should just look at that was John chapter one. Okay. Yeah. John chapter one. Okay. He was nine. Right. That was the true light. Okay. He's talking about John, the witness John, the Baptist. So it says, okay, sorry. Let me just back up to verse four in him was life and the life was the light of men and the light shines in the darkness and the darkness did not comprehend it. Okay. So verse four talks about how in him was life talking about Zoe, God kind of life and this life was the light of men. Okay. Verse nine. That was the true light, which gives light to every man coming into the world. Okay. So he's that light and it gives light to every man coming into the world. Apart from him, there is no light meaning that this life, you know, this truth, this God kind of life, this very nature of God that he actually calls us to be partakers of, to commune with fellowship and receive from. That is the light of men. Right. All ignorance is taken away. All darkness is taken away. All the works of unrighteousness is taken away.  Okay. So here saying, you know, you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. You've received Christ. He is life and his life was light. So you've received that light. You are light in the Lord. Walk as children of life. Now you live your life as children of life. For the fruit of the spirit is in all goodness, righteousness and truth. So this is the outcome of the Holy Spirit's influence. Holy Spirit's work in your life. Goodness, righteousness, truth. So you live as, you know, verse eight, walk as children of light, verse 10, finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. So, you know, this is a process that you walk, you know, not disconnected from God, but you walk in communion with God. Right. Finding out. So which means there is communication, there is interaction, there is fellowship with the Holy Spirit. I mean, it's a great invitation to fellowship with the Holy Spirit day in and day out, to be filled with the Spirit, to fellowship with the Holy Spirit, to be led by the Spirit. Right. That is our privilege as sons and daughters of God. So saying, finding out what is acceptable to the Lord.  You find out what is acceptable to Him and do that. Right. Verse 11, have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. So, now the fellowship with this is with the light. The fellowship is with the Holy Spirit. It's not with the unfruitful or unproductive works of darkness. The works of darkness, though it might seem pleasurable. It might seem, it might seem fancy. It might seem very spectacular at times. It is unproductive. I'm unfruitful. It does not produce the righteousness of God because it has no life. Right.  It might, you know, do all that, but it is unproductive. Right. So, it says, it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. Right. Even to mention it.  Whatever makes manifest is light. So, this is the quality of truth. This is the quality of the life of God, which is called the light of the world. Right. This is the nature that it exposes the light. Okay. It puts on display, the light puts on display and exposes and it makes manifest the quality of God. It, it's, that's the quality of, that's the nature of God. Right. Verse 14. Awake, awake, you will sleep, arise from the dead and Christ will give you light. Okay. So, the last few instructions, then, then he goes on to talk about husband and wife and so on. Right. This is verse 15. See that you walk circumspectly. Okay. Not as fools, but as wise, redeeming the time because the days are evil. Therefore, do not be unwise, but understand what of the will, what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine in which is dissipation, but be filled with the spirit. Speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord. Giving thanks always for all things to God, the Father, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Okay. Submitting to one another in the fear of God. Okay. So, saying you walk circumspectly. Okay. So, which means that you be aware of how, where and where you're putting your feet. That means walking circumspectly. So, not as fools, but as wise. So, which means there's a difference between how the wise people walk and how the foolish walk. So, you live in that manner. Which means, you know, circumspectly meaning accurately, diligently. Right. So, you be sure of how you are, of the decisions that you're making. Live in such a way that is it's accurate, it's diligent. Right. So, you live in such a manner. Don't live in a foolish way, but live as the wise would do. Why? The reason being, you know, because if you're not walking circumspectly, then there is a waste of time. Right. Because if you're not putting in effort to maybe plan things with God, you know, thinking Him and then obeying Him, then we are walking circumspectly. But if we are rushing into things, doing things without consulting God and doing some foolish things and indulging in foolish things, then there is a waste of time. Right. So, he's saying, you know, walk in a manner in which the wise people would walk, redeeming the time. Okay. It's like, it's like even, it's like taking back time, redeeming the time. You know, that's something which time has this quality of just passing on, moving forward. You cannot go back in time. Right. Today, today, I think is quite an interesting date. Right. 22, 0, 2, and 2, 0, 2, 2. Yeah, you'll notice that, no? I just put it in the chat. So, if you read it, you know, from the right to left also is the same, right? It's a palindrome. That's what they call it. From left to right, it's the same. From right to left, it's the same. Today's date. So, the thing is like, you know, 22, 2 is not going to come back again. It just moves forward. But we can live in a manner, if we are living accurately, if you're living circumspectly, we can live as people who redeem the time. You know, then you have, you're not wasting time. You have time to do certain things which are productive, which are on target. You're not wasting it. So, there's redeeming the time because the days are evil, right? Therefore, do not be unwise, unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Because of all these things, because the days are evil, live and live, walk circumspectly, not foolishly. Therefore, do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Now, we know that God wants to make his will known to us. He's not holding back. He's God who wants to reveal these things to us. So, understand what the will of the Lord is. So, we will stop here. This is verse 17. And then we'll continue next class. Next class, we will finish with Ephesians, hopefully, and also start off with Galatians, right? We'll just move a little quicker from now on. Okay. Thank you. You guys have a great day. God bless. Bye-bye.


The maze before the War of Independence were a series of loosely connected communities strung along the Atlantic Sea Coast. The economy was cruel, communications were slow, education poor, and commerce. Under such conditions there were wide differences between the individual colonies. The first real sign of unity was the bold declaration of independence from colonial rule. But once independence had been won, the problem of establishing a government began. Some states wanted a strong national government, while others were reluctant to give up any part of their new one sovereignty. The Constitution represented a great compromise, leaving with the states and to the people all rights not specifically granted to the national government. The new Constitution had been clear on one point. True freedom derives its just powers from the consent of the government. This was a daring new experiment in government, and the people were proud and jealous of their rights as they set out to build their nation. In the early years of the new century, economic progress was slow. But the concept of free men working in a free society was a powerful inspiration. Yet all men were not free. The institution of slavery still remained as it remained in many other parts of the world. Many of the new settlers had to sell their freedom for a period of years in return for their passage. There were slaves too, yet the forward-looking men who established the new government recognized that slavery, as old as history, was coming to an end. As the 18th century drew to a close, slavery in the new world seemed doomed. The 13 new states had been built on a foundation of freedom. In the northwest territory, the vast new area to the west just opened for settlement, slavery was prohibited. And as the 19th century began, the importation of slaves to the new world was also banned. Louisiana purchased from France in 1803, added nearly a million square miles to the territory of the United States. And according to the term, slavery was to be permitted only where it already existed within the new territory. Or slavery was considered an outmoded institution, which in the near future would die away. Yet in most of the southern states where cheap farm labor was an economic necessity, slavery was not dying. The south as the century began was already largely a one-crop region, divided into huge plantations, all producing cotton for the growing world textile market. The cotton gin, a fateful invention, was largely responsible for the one-crop economy of the south. In the north, textile mills processed the cotton. Other centers of manufacturing sprang up to produce a largely industrial society, in contrast to the agricultural economy of the south. New regions were opening in the west as Americans and new arrivals from Europe sought fresh opportunities in virgin lands. The new frontier settlements were free of slavery and ambitious for expansion and economic development. As the century wore on, the developing cities of the frontier were being populated by farmers, merchants, and mechanics, who were settling in increasing numbers. They would form the group that was to become the backbone of a booming America, the small landowner. Through the first half of the 19th century, the plantation economy of the south flourished. The economic system, the educational system, and the culture of large rested in the hands of no more than 5,000 families. Relatively few people were slave owners. In the rough frontier towns of the Midwest, the situation was very different. Here, the economy rested on a broad base of simple, hard-working farmers and traders. It was an ideal spawning ground for the intellectual growth of a young man destined to become the giant of the century. Young Abe Lincoln was interested in history and law. He loved the land and saw a glorious future for a nation united without sectional differences and with a common goal. And yet the young Lincoln was slowly becoming aware of the problem that in the years ahead was to divide the land he loved. Could a nation dedicated to freedom countenance the existence of slavery? Could one section of that nation dictate the economic pattern of another section? Sooner or later, the problem must be squarely faced. Arguments over conflicting sectional interests grew more frequent. Heated debates arose over the question of tariffs. The North demanded high protective tariffs. The South considered high tariffs a direct attack upon their economy. When South Carolina threatened to secede, President Andrew Jackson himself a southerner took a strong stand for the Union. But this was only one of a long series of crises that were to erupt in the next 30 years. And behind the arguments and the impassioned oratory was the fundamental question of whether the rights of the people were best served by the sovereignty of the individual state or by the sovereignty of the Union. Daniel Webster of New England sounded a rallying cry when he said in Congress, It is, sir, the people's constitution, the people's government made for the people, made by the people, answerable to the people. In 1851, a new story appeared in print to inflame the emotions of the two sections. Uncle Tom's Capital, a book attacking the cruelty and inhumanity of slavery. The story appeared at a time when the problem of slavery and the debate over its continuation was reaching serious proportions. There was strong sentiment in many parts of the North for the abolition of slavery and equally strong pro-slavery sentiment in the South. An organized effort to help fugitive slaves escape to freedom had even been established and nicknamed the Underground Railroad. As new states were admitted to the Union, there was always controversy over whether they would permit or ban slavery. But by this time, pro-slavery and anti-slavery forces had begun to agitate in the territories and outbreaks of violence became frequent. Riots and fighting erupted in the western territory of Kansas, and more than 200 men and women were killed before the Free Soilers won out. In Springfield, Illinois, Abraham Lincoln was beginning to attract attention with his strong but reasonable arguments for a united country. He was about to give up his law business to enter the political arena. His target was the Senate seat occupied by Stephen A. Douglas. Douglas, like Lincoln, was a moderate. But Lincoln disagreed that a strong union could exist when the nation was split on the question of slavery. A house divided against itself cannot stand, he said in his acceptance of the nomination. The campaign and the resulting Lincoln-Douglas debates attracted national attention. Douglas won the election, but Lincoln was building a powerful reputation. By 1859, the tides of impending strife were growing. John Brown, whose fanatical murders in Kansas had introduced him to history, believed he was commissioned by God to free the slaves. After a wild raid on the U.S. arsenal at Harper's Ferry, Virginia, he was captured, tried for treason, and hanged. Almost at once, he was hailed as a martyr by the anti-slavery forces, and his name was to become a battle cry. The year 1860 saw the surprise election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency. South Carolina saw in the election of Lincoln the doom of their doctrine of state's rights, and the state legislature voted to secede. News of the secession spread like a brush fire, and within 40 days, six other states followed the example of South Carolina. The new sovereign states, Meditman, Gummary, Alabama, deformed a confederacy and select Jefferson Davis, its first president. A fateful hour had struck. The house was divided. South Carolina, Mississippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, and Texas were no longer in the Union. In Springfield, Illinois, Abraham Lincoln said farewell to his home and prepared to go to Washington to take up the terrible burden of the presidency. In his farewell to his townspeople, he asked their blessing and the help of God to take him through the dark days he foresaw. He was destined never to see Springfield again. Lincoln took his oath of office with the unfinished dome of the new capital at his back. He made a final appeal for reconciliation and peace. Why should there not be a patient confidence in the ultimate justice of the people? Is there any better or equal hope in the world? But it was 1861 and the loyalty of the people was divided. The great question had become not whether men should or should not own slaves, but whether the state or the national government had first claim on the honor and the duty of the individual. It was a soul-searching choice. Many a southerner opposed a slavery could not find it in his heart to bear arms against his mother state. Others remembered the Declaration of Independence and the dream of a great free nation and swore their allegiance to that ideal. It was to be a war of brother against brother. The South mustered its men. The aristocracy of the plantations was to join forces with the common farmer to fight for the cause they had chosen. They began the war with high hearts. Soon after the first shots were fired, Virginia, Arkansas, Tennessee and North Carolina joined the Confederacy, bringing the total of sea seating states to 11. The war had begun. There was no turning back. The Union forces were as confident as the Confederates. The first volunteers were called for only 90 days. Few dreamed they would be needed for any longer time. They drilled and waited impatiently for their chance to smash the rebels. But the military strength of the Confederacy was not to be taken lightly. The nation's greatest military leader, Robert E. Lee, had refused command of the Union Army because he could not bring himself to bear arms against his native state, Virginia. Now Lee and his lieutenants were to make the Southern armies among the most brilliantly led forces in history. Realizing most of the war would be fought on Southern soil, they had a determination that alone would have made them strong. The Union forces, hastily trained and likely disciplined at first, were further handicapped by indecisive leadership. They marched to their first campaign, however, sure of their strength and confident of a quick victory. But green troops were unpredictable. Unlike their opponents, many of these men came from shops and mills, had never handled a gun, knew nothing of the terrible shock of pitched battle. They learned overnight in their first battle with Confederate troops. Both sides fought hard and with valor. The tide turned against the raw Union troops. They broke and retreated, their forces shattered. The dreams of a short war were over.  And through 1861 and 1862, the pattern of that first battle recurred again and again. The Confederate armies inflicted terrible losses on the men of the North. The Southern tide was rising. Through the first two years of the war, the battle raged over a wide area in the south and in the west. Names were finding their way into history. Names that spelled victory, defeat, gallant and disaster. Chickamauga, Seven Pines, the Peninsula, Fort Henry and Fort Donalcy, Highland number 10, Shiloh, New Orleans, Second Bull Run. The Army of Northern Virginia under General Lee had been forged into a fighting unit whose fame was spreading around the world. The hope the Confederacy lay in that fame. Without industry, the South needed help from abroad. All of Europe showed growing concern about the war. In Great Britain, some people hoping to trade in cotton sympathized with the South. But most Britons strongly opposed slavery and Great Britain did not intervene. As 1862 drew to a close, Lincoln took a step he had long considered. His first concern had always been to reunite North and South. But his strong disapproval of slavery as an institution could no longer remain unexpressed. With his emancipation proclamation, Lincoln made his stand clear to the world and served notice that this was not merely a struggle to suppress rebellion. As it moved into 1863, had developed a pattern. The South defending their own soil, one victory after victory. People were beginning to lay the blame on faulty Union generalship. Lincoln, in a desperate search for a commander, changed generals again and again. Now as the summer of 63 began, Lee was about to invade the North. The Union army met the Southern onslaught in Gettysburg, in one of the decisive battles of world history. At last, the Southern army was forced to retreat. Gettysburg was the high water mark of the Confederacy. With their defeat in that battle, the fate of the Southern cause was sealed. Speaking at the dedication of the cemetery at Gettysburg, Lincoln uttered immortal words. From these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion. That we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain. That this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom and the government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish from the earth. By 1864, the tide had turned, but the war was far from over. Lincoln, up for reelection, was being attacked on all sides. Men were talking of peace and blaming the president for not having ended the war. So bitter were the attacks, so strong the feeling of discouragement that Lincoln himself despaired of reelection and privately conceded that McClellan, one of his ousted generals, would be his successor. The issue lay in the hands of the people of the nation. The people who Lincoln believed were the only valid source of government. The people expressed their will. Lincoln, re-elected, said at his second inauguration, fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. As the people listened, they heard a plea for compassion, as Lincoln said, with malice toward none, with charity for all. The war continued to its inevitable future. Lincoln had found his general in Ulysses S. Grant. The final phase of the war was the bloodiest of all. Using his superior manpower, Grant fought unrelentingly.  The casualty toll mounted day by day, and the South knew more of the terrible destruction and desolation of war than Americans had ever known. But at long last the slaughter ended. Richmond, the Confederate capital, fell, and Lee's army, starving and exhausted, was surrounded. Grant set a simple message. General, the result of the last week must convince you of the hopelessness of further resistance on the part of the Army of Northern Virginia, with heavy heart Lee consented to listen to surrender terms. Long war was over. After four years of fighting, the man in the ranks could look forward to a life of his own, an end to long, exhausting marches, an end to dreary waiting, an end to separation from home, an end to killing and being killed. At Appomattox Courthouse, Grant gave Lee generous terms. They met a defeated and a victorious general, two Americans who recognized the aching need for reconciliation among all Americans, too long divided by hatred. But hatred was still abroad in the land. And like the third act of a great tragedy, there was one more scene to be played. On the night of April 14, 1865, just five days after Lee's surrender, Abraham Lincoln went to Ford's Theater in Washington to see the performance of a popular comedy. As he watched the stage, the unguarded door of the presidential box was opened. But everyone saw the half-crazed actor leap from the box in escape. Before dawn, the president was dead. The nation mourned the leader who had brought them through the greatest crisis in their history, only to die at the moment of victory. As the funeral train crawled through a breeding countryside, bringing the dead president back at last to his home in Springfield, every person along the way must have echoed the quiet eulogy spoken at the deathbed. Now, he belongs to the ages. Then the war had ended, the Southleigh prostrate, as devastated as any land after a war could be. Its currency was ruined, its crops spoiled, what industry it had wrecked. And among the ruins, as always, there was bitterness and the acid taste of defeat. Among the victors, some wanted the South punished and treated as a conquered province. Others wanted to follow the plans of Lincoln and reunite the Confederate states with the Union as quickly and as painlessly as possible.  But it's no more than a job, and the relief of hard, honest labor after the destructiveness of war can be a healthy occupation. Rebuilding the Union and settling the differences that had existed from its very birth was another matter. The recovery and industrial development of the South was to take some 50 years. The assimilation into a free society of the liberated Negro would take a far longer time and would engage the minds of men of goodwill in both North and South, even to the present day. As the nation bound up its wounds, it could look forward to a bright future as a strong, united country. And it could look back, too, with pride at the spiritual source of its new one strength, the compassionate words of its wartime president, with malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, to strive on to finish the work we are in, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.


Yeah, let's see What's working? Still waiting for the sound to fix Cameras who do that in sec check for the sound first Still cannot hear myself Okay, now again. It's working. Okay sound is good. Yeah, I don't need to monitor myself because it's pretty annoying My voice is pretty annoying It is it's quickly shared this Streams if anyone wants to join in Do it on Twitter. I get a lot of this a content with all the CG wearables Yeah, I haven't tried any of those traditionally using clinical grade electrodes and Yeah, obviously as you can tell You might be getting some mixed quality signal out of those because it will all depends on how it sits on the head You know, probably the headbands are better because you can actually adjust them properly. This one said to be like a one-size-fit all and has those funny electrodes with multiple context that meant to Go through the hair. I don't know if they have some they shouldn't you have some gel On them but to not Yeah, I would yeah if it goes like 20 bucks. I would go for it. But yeah, if some of the prices that these things Going for I Wouldn't come anywhere near them, but it's just in Subjective opinion beware subjective opinion alert Okay, let's post this quickly on a LinkedIn as well Hopefully someone joins in or subscribes So they don't miss the next live stream Pop this in there Okay, let's quickly before we so today so in general like the website a barcass.com is self Contains you can get all the information from there everything I do Eventually gets published here. So these applications work. Some of them are not actual applications, but Blogs Hopefully that will eventually turn into more useful web applications. Let's still a Working progress that's Currently the ones on the bottom this bunch. There should be a fourth one a fifth one here's one two three four and the music e.g. music They do not currently Work they in development Those are still there because they used to work. There used to be in the lab view But now we're doing everything in Python So we essentially have to redo them. So All that is left from them is the front page, but the front end the back end doesn't currently work so we based on this description that we had We will be Re-redoing it with a sec. Sorry for the sound if there's noise because someone is drilling Outside doing something nasty very loud Right away was I yes, this one's will be updated And also we have one that kind of almost works Which is this e.g. music location can run it on The local a little more hopefully it will be available on the side sometime soon. So that's what it looks like it shows you and EG segment and the idea is that while you change any of this parameters, it will start a Playing it as sound so converting it into sound, but we had some problem with some of the MIDI Libraries and JavaScript that meant to convert the generate Notes musical notes In the browser, so probably have to use something else or Dead and it will come up on the page sometime soon First of all, let's quickly fix the Web cam so I had the web Web cam application, but then we had another one she actually called What's called Yeah, digital twin this one. We have a bunch going on here Essentially this avatar and after improved pressure does what? the last Let me check the modified date Yeah Yeah, avatar and after improved can probably get read Anything else? Yes, some of them from memory. I just I just don't want to run it because this sometimes hogging the camera I'll just continue This one Move those into trash Yeah, our top and our time proved This too just need to check a which cameras we have Let's run a terminal Normally have Yeah, for some reason this four video devices connected even though we practice a Basically, we only have two cameras and still don't know what's up with that This is a common have zero and one Okay, that one just gets stuck. That's not good. Yeah. Yeah, it's running for too long Just close that drive one Yes, and she every time you reconnect The cameras or something. It's a allocating it to Right, so this one this one works actually had it on the Close This one this one on the third a Camera Does not work why we don't have a for fun on the list the problem two three To have second one working. Okay It's the one in front of me Yes, that works, it's another camera that we installed Since work There's money We have Struggling my CPU Both right in the possible This one's still working. Have we connected to another Usb They've had enough experience with usb's Not to change What's not plug and unplugged? Well, you're doing something else. Okay, it's working now. Yeah. Now. Now we have both cameras Yeah, the hands the hands are pretty good That face That's the same thing just different rendering I was also trying to put like Sam, Sam Altman's face on the avatar, but that Didn't work don't have to monitor myself anymore because I know that if I don't touch any of the usb ports They should stay intact and this should be Me to pipe avatar to that screen We put in this face as well Those two that camera is a bit out of whack. Oh, yeah, leave it Leave it for as is for now. Okay Okay, so we have this Lee Disapplication it's not actually running to run it first right now. It's running Okay, so it's actually showing something on the loading the page, which is good Before it wasn't I have a scroller through the file Yeah, the scroller is not great But we will sort it out later first. We want to Display turn it into sound in any possible way, right so possibly We are currently using this we're using Web MIDI And let's seem to work fine Except GPT-4 doesn't have much information About it. I don't think there's many examples or anything. So that's the JS It was just recently updated just tempting. You want to use Something recent Channel numbers and how long is this thing? Pretty long Don't think GPT has A access to a new it. Can you browse it? Yes, if we are using web MIDI we need you to Be able to manage all this code Just library and simple file working with web media PI It's an API JS Don't think it's an API to use this version Yep, we have the Velocity to interact with media devices through your web browser, assuming the browser supports the media API Okay, it does browser supports web media API Yes, that's good Okay, I don't need the rest It's also reading out loud now The Velocity security versioning how to use the project I have the Music the musical version Thing it might need to Rewrite the whole thing like the logic seem to be correct, but that's actually not the generating It wasn't generating any files To go over this again See what's what NJS And let's see what it says Simplify the code inside the click event to test basic functionality For example try playing a single note and then stopping it javascript copy kodi const output equals web midi outputs zero Output play note Okay, this I could start So where does it go? Just testing out the job Play note didn't work And we should go in the code In the provided script It should be in play Midi button Play midi Okay, this is the same Already have it Shift up to remove Identation Isn't there It should be Testing if the web midi works at all So already have that code Output zero. I'm not sure about that output that test If I comment in it I have a timeout Which is important That would not not work with it It's actually Working except I can't hear anything It must be that port zero It's the Not the correct port is it? Play everything set up correctly in my browser console yet So this how to check how many media Web midi outputs do I have Be able to do it in the terminal No in JavaScript Already have that on a label somewhere They should just do one Or because Not getting this out We am getting it's probably being sent to another audio device So zero selecting the first one Can select by name, but we don't know the names I can log All of the devices Into here console log That there's an error why So we need to Finish that function Check it again This one doesn't Return Mini through port zero That's the one being used But I can't hear anything I'm getting this I can't hear that too Go tell me The problem is with my hearing somewhere So the midi output device is listed No same as in case the midi power is being sent Verify the output device Might not be sound generating device It's a virtual interface Ensure you have mini synthesizer What is using digital audio workstation It's not muted As I can hear this Ensure that your computer's audio output or the audio output of your midi sound module or instrument Is not muted in a stand up If you have access to another midi output device or a software synthesizer try selecting and using it For instance, if you're using a DAW ensure it's properly configured to receive midi signals and play them back So I thought that would be done in the browser Some midi devices might not listen on midi channel one which is being used in your play note call Try sending midi messages on different channels as the device might be listening on a different channel Do you need permissions? It's a stippercater feature where midi will ask a permission to use even if the Sci-Sex is not specified in the midi options But it didn't ask for permission Control F5 Should have played a C tone for that many seconds It didn't If you have a midi keyboard or controller try using it to play notes on your sound module or software instrument Interesting Using a browser that fully supports the web midi api like google chrome or microsoft Test the functionality in a different browser as a cross check Can I test it in another with another tool? Is there another tool online where I can check the midi output? Let's see what this is Yes, there are online tools and resources that can help you check and debug midi output These tools can be particularly useful for verifying if your midi devices are properly connected and communicating with your computer Here are a few options Web midi api tools there are various online tools that utilize the web midi api to test midi devices Okay, okay, just give me a specific something. Is this a fake link or it's actually work? Is this meant to work? left this old style A user interface Bing is for downloading it doesn't work in the browser does it? Well, yeah, I want something like that. It just Works Displaying coming and going midi messages It's a scary looking website. No, there's some sort of calculator in the water. Yeah, but the Looks of it. It also looks like there's something for Downloading not using online In browser Yeah, let's do Google the Google It says connect. I can't hear anything midi throughput zero and Right, it's not working any lots of error messages Failed to load violation scary scary messages a Edge That's still doesn't work Firefox You know, like almost 900 warnings does Work God media access It's meant to be gathering inputs Setting up media listener gathering inputs removing media listener And all these errors It's not cool See if Same thing works in Firefox Firefox looks more promising clear clear clear clear Why is it not working? Clear messages in my mind I say clear clear What midi devices work in firefox firefox fire Fox What doesn't seem to work so It's in the html If there's something to request, you should try them Enter why Doing something very wrong This midi thing can generate 10 notes in a browser What's it talking about? Never Keyboard AdWire It's not seem to work okay Note on C190 Play this one should be play in C4 Cognize circles My music button doesn't execute I can hear it Play music button AQs This in console No sound And this should be a digital virtual instrument So maybe we have those too What's in 109? It's the same device I'm using Ubuntu Does that make any difference? If you're using Ubuntu and not hearing sound when sending midi messages from your web application Even though the messages seem to be sent correctly As indicated by the console log You need to ensure that your midi setup is correctly configured in a Linux environment Here are steps stated for Ubuntu Ensure you have a software synthesizer installed because you have midi messages and produce sound Popular options include FluidSynth, Dmitriy++, or virtual instruments within a door Digital Audio Workstation Like LMS or other Example command to run FluidSynth with a soundfone FluidSynth.pals audio slash path slash to slash sound from .sf2 Check if your midi output is correctly rooted to synthesizer You can use command line tools like a connect to list and connect midi ports The only warning I get is this one It's this one, it didn't actually ask for permission, so maybe that's the problem, it's still exclusive messages. Okay. Fals for enabling web midi. Enable method C6 false 5, still get it. This change will be fully implemented and how it might impact your application. Documentation and community support, regularly check documentation for WEBMIDI, JS and the web midi API for updates or changes. Also, community forums or discussion groups can be available resources for advice and solutions from other developers who might have faced some issues. Okay, I'm kind of giving up, spent too much time, sorry. Okay, we're in the console, just a desperate move, we're playing them in two places. We already did it a couple times, but first of all we have to play a going on happening twice. Maybe that's the issue, only needed once. If camera is timed out, it didn't get released properly. This scenario typically occurs when the midi output is not properly configured or the browser is not routing midi messages to sound producing entity. Here's a step by step approach to troubleshoot and fix this issue. Ensure that web midi, outputs 0, refers to a midi device that can produce sound. This could be a software synthesizer or a physical midi instrument connected to your computer. Check if this output device is properly configured to receive midi messages and produce sound. First, you want a list of available midi devices to confirm that your system recognizes your midi output device. Install a ACQ dump, a tool for viewing midi events, if you haven't already. If you're using a web application that sends midi messages, like through web midi API. Open Google Chrome or another browser that supports web midi API. Navigate to your web application and test if midi messages have successfully sent to your midi output device. Client 14, midi through, this is a virtual midi port that can be used to route midi messages between different clients on your system. Midi through BORT0, is showing connections from Client 128, which could be a software synthesizer or another midi application. Since there's no mention of a specific hardware midi device or a recognizable software synthesizer, like FluidSynth or Commidity++, it's possible that your actual midi output device is not listed. This could be due to several reasons. The device is not recognized by the system, if it's a USB midi device, try reconnecting it or using a different USB port. For hardware synthesizers or midi interfaces, ensure they're powered on and correctly connected. Yes, you can generate tones and play music directly within the Chrome browser on Ubuntu without any additional hardware or software installations. However, instead of using a web midi API, which primarily sends midi messages to external synthesizers or software instruments, you would use the web audio API, a powerful browser-based system for audio processing and synthesis. Here's a basic outline of how you can generate tones using the web audio API in JavaScript. The audio context is the primary object of the web audio API, and it manages and plays all sounds. Oscillators generate tones of specific frequencies, while gain nodes control the volume. Set the type of waveform and frequency for the oscillator. For example, a sine wave at 440 Hz, a four note. Connect the oscillator to the gain node and the gain node to the audio context destination, speakers. Start the oscillator to play the sound and stop it after a duration. Here is a complete example that plays a tone for one second while button is clicked.


Folks what's going on? Welcome to the fan do hurry up. I am Arden Franklin I'm joined by the man the myth the legend Tom Vecchio as we're here to break down some of the biggest studs that we got Entering week 14 of this NFL season Tom. What's going on man? I'm doing good last week was you know crazy high scoring for some players I know fan season long fantasy playoffs are here, but we still have plenty of DFS So let's jump in you're not lying about that to start off today's show We're gonna be in the AFC West, you know the Los Angeles Chargers despite their struggles They've been competing in recent weeks and one of those big reasons is wide receiver Ken Allen The Probo caliber talent has been cooking up this entire season and this week he has priced at $8,500 Tom What makes them such a great buy this week?  There's no really nice way to put that they looked bad But we still can take some good things from that and what that good thing is that King and Allen had 11 Targets and that's where he's been for the majority of the time Justin Herbert has been starting This gives him 10 targets or more and six of his last seven games This is a spot where we want to go back to time and time again the Herbert to Allen stack Going up against the Falcons this week. We have a 50 over under. It's looking very solid The Falcons around 35.4 Fandal points per game to opposing wide receivers. That's the fourth worst in the league So despite getting shut out this past week, I'm going back to Allen going back to Justin Herbert in a great game environment Hey, one of the key things that you said Tom about Ken Allen is the fact that this man is targeted Even though he had what five catches for maybe 50 yards, he was targeted 11 times So the man does not starve on game day playing with Herbert or anybody who's at quarterback But regardless of their struggles again Ken and Allen 90 catches for the season highly targeted guy really good talent And he's priced this week at $8,500 Up next in the AFC we go into the AFC south of the vision I know a lot about as a Colts fan, okay And we have the Jacksonville Jaguars facing off against the Tennessee Titans And even though the Jags have been struggling all seasons long I mean they have one win for season They do have a bright star in rookie running back James Robinson James Robinson currently has the third most rushing yards in NFL and he's priced at $8,000 Tom despite the Jaguar struggles What makes James Robinson such a consistent and good player to have every week in DFS? I think it's a lot of those things you kind of touched on already the consistency is there for him We have 19 touches total touches or more in six straight games You know like you said, they're not the best team in the world, but they're playing with a positive game script We see him getting four or five six targets every single week. So it doesn't matter if they're up They're you know down their home or way We know he's going to be getting the touches in a very solid game last week against the Vikings He's a very solid matchup this week against the Titans who just got obliterated against the Browns Last week we saw Chubb go for 1880 and one and I know the talk was all about Baker putting up all those touchdowns But Nick Chubb still had a solid game because the Tennessee defense is just so bad bad They're on 23 fainting points per game deposing running backs That's the seventh worst in a league and with a was a 53 over under in this game We're getting a running back at $8,000 who's getting 20 or so touches every single game home away Like I said, it doesn't matter. I'm going back to James Robinson this week Tom similar to what's already been said about Keenan Allen Robinson is another high usage player that is very productive So despite the Jaguar struggles despite the tough competition in Tennessee, you know, they have been showing some weaknesses lately You've got to love James Robinson. We all love to see it. You all love to see it So once again James Robinson running back $8,000 price tag, you got to take advantage of it And as we go to the NFC the NFC north We all love a good battle in that division the Green Bay Packers are facing off against the Detroit Lions And we get to see a god a 12 a serious MVP candidate quarterback Aaron Rogers Who is leading the league and touchdowns this year the man is like fine wine He's getting better with time and Tom this week He is priced at $9,100 as much as Aaron Rogers is typically looked at as a guarantee in fantasy What makes them such a great pick up every single time you're able to add them to your team Yeah, $9,100 this week. That's the most expensive quarterback on the slate I know a lot of people like to pay down, but you know this season all Aaron Rogers does is score touchdowns It's as simple as that we're looking at multiple games in a row with three touchdowns going up against the Lions We have a 55 and a half over under right now. That's the highest on the board The Lions not great on defense We know this and if we look back historically over Rogers career against the Lions He's averaging over two touchdowns per game 270 260 yards per game. We're getting that upside every single time I'm looking to stack Rogers and Devonte Adams every single week because the upside is always there But $9,100 is certainly an expensive price tag, but I think we'll find the value later in the week You know what Tom? I've always been one of those guys that love to pay for top-notch quarterbacks I mean, I feel like the same way teams value quarterbacks I feel like you have to do the same in DFS even though everybody's strategy is different And it was so funny to just mention the fact that yeah, it's we're so used to Aaron Rogers Just straight up dominating his division that you forget the fact that yeah, this dude gets two to three touchdowns again This dude is always able to make the most out of everything We can't forget the Hail Mary from a few years ago And this is somebody that so far this season 36 touchdowns for interceptions over the last three weeks 10 touchdowns to one picks So again, $9,100 for Aaron Rogers. You have to love that you have to take advantage of that As we get to see another classic NFC north battle Folks that is that for this week. Thank you so much for watching the fan. Do hurry up This is ardent franklin joined once again by the one and only time of becky Oh, make sure you tune in for the rest of this week to check out the other editions of fan do hurry up You already know it's good stuff signing off here. We'll highlight you next time


So, what radio tourists, for those of you that don't understand, is before an artist's song officially seeks to be added to Radio Station's playlist, they'll spend like six months visiting these regions. Each regional for the record company will take an artist out. They'll play in conference rooms or the promoter will play the music and get people pumped and excited. And then six months later, when the song goes out, you want to be added to every radio station possible. So, it's a massive cost that goes along with flying the rep, flying the artist, flying a player, you know, hotels, planes. So, the label, the artist is majorly going into debt at the beginning stages of their record.
