All right, good to see everybody. Lots of people coming in from all over the world, which is very exciting. I apologize to the person that was in Calgary where it is minus 42 degrees Celsius today. Yeah, thankfully it's not that cold here, but yeah, we'll get rolling with this. Got quite a lot of things to go through with you guys today, so let me just get started. Here I'm going to wrangle my monitors as one does. So we today are going to talk about the concept of a minimum viable platform and what it means to create one, what it means to conceptualize one and think about one in your day to day and also what it means to think about scaling one. This is a really exciting topic for us at Humanitech, but it's also a platform engineering topic because what essentially happens and how this has kind of come around is by really using the principles of platform engineering and seeing what happens when people start thinking about initiatives for platform engineering inside their organization. So if you don't know me, my name is Mallory and I'm the director of customer success at Humanitech. I am actually a software engineer by background, very old school PHP developer from the early mid 2000s. The odds as it is it were, and I've sort of just evolved over time to also have this kind of deep love and appreciation for cloud native. And I have moved on from PHP. I still touch it occasionally, but I rest assured have grown away from that a little bit. So my job here at Humanitech is to make sure that our customer is not only use the platform, but also fall in love with it. So we're gonna talk a little bit about the philosophy in that way today. You can email me, you can reach out to me on Twitter. I rarely use it, but you're also welcome to find me on LinkedIn. So we're gonna go over a couple different things today, really just four key sections, but there is quite a bit inside each one. First, we're gonna talk about what a minimum viable platform actually is. I think it's important to start here because a lot of people are going to confuse MVP in the traditional sense with minimum viable platform. So I wanna make sure we differentiate. Then we're gonna also talk about why, why you do things this way and why this works. Finally, we'll do some design work. There will be a little bit of actual technical information that comes in here. And then we'll also talk about adoption and expansion. I just wanna make a quick note that the next, I think next week webinar we are having is actually about doing these things. So actually putting things into action, doing the hands-on stuff. So if you start today and you understand the theory behind it and you understand sort of the general principle, you'll be really well-prepared next week to get rolling. So I always like to start my webinars with a question. Why do you guys think platform engineering initiatives often fail? And I'll open the chat here and invite you guys to share your thoughts, maybe in a quick couple of words. Why do you think this stuff fails? Let's see what we can see here. There we go. Management, don't get it. Adoption, yep. No customer focus, failure to collaborate. No, well, not well-defined. Institutional requirements, same idea. Yep, customer requirements not said. You guys are all hitting the right points. And I think this is a testament to the platform engineering philosophy as a whole. And also, yeah, that's a big one inertia. People don't like change. So how do you prevent that from happening? When you look at why things fail, we tend to think about them failing in platform engineering as this intertwined web of culture and process. I think these are three of the primary technical reasons below why stuff falls apart. So you get this concept of speedy complexity. People just go down this rabbit hole of trying to solve every problem and developer experience issue and every request at the same time. This is not going to work. You get pulled into a trap of complexity. You never get anything done. You basically just get stuck. And I call this the it's not perfect yet problem because that's the way it's often described. It's like, well, we can't use it, it's not perfect. But here's the thing, nothing ever is in software engineering. So that is the way to think about it. The second thing I think people get stuck on a lot is tool chain quicksand. So this is basically where you get into this trap of thinking it's all about tools. It's all about infrastructure components. And it's all about what you're gonna use for databases and how you're gonna do Ingress and how you're gonna do multi-cloud deployment and what CDS are gonna use.  The other thing that sometimes happens in this vein is that some platform engineering teams are convinced that they have to do something completely unique. They have to reinvent the wheel as it were. You don't. I know we've said it a thousand times and I know platform engineering has said it a thousand times, you're not special. There's a reason why things work as a standard. It's really important to remember that. The last thing I see a lot of is chaotic focus. So I like to say, if you fail to plan, you're going to plan to fail. If you don't focus in on the actual problems you are trying to solve and the key core problems, not this whole vast sphere of them, but just sort of the ones at the heart of what's going on inside your developer experience and your development lifecycle. If you don't do that, you will get stuck. Teams in this category that fall down this rabbit hole don't actually ship their mindset. They don't think of platform as a product and when you don't do that, this also will not work. The worst part of this though, is that this wormhole is the one that people do where they build tools that no one ever asked for and people just don't use. And it's a huge waste of time and money. There is a little bit more of the nine steps to platform engineering hell. Great article. I encourage you guys to check it out because it is exactly what we see why these fail. So on our side of Humanitech, obviously on the customer success side, we see a lot of platform engineering initiatives. We see a lot of platform setups and a lot of ideas. And what we've been able to come up with is this framework for starting things off the right way. So when you start a platform engineering initiative, this is how you get things rolling. This is how you get eventual adoption and this is how you get buy-in. We call it a minimum viable platform, not to use a short form that's already been used but we think it actually makes sense. So the TLDR of what a minimum viable platform and MVP is, is that it's a way to show the value of a PE initiative very fast. So you do this by identifying pioneering teams that can lead the way, the ideas that they're innovative. It's by building a highly simplified, representative first version of the platform in the context of a hello world. Guys probably all know what that is. It's also having a product like roadmap, for iteration and growth. It's not just throwing things at the wall. It's really planning what a roadmap needs to look like. It's also seeking out influential stakeholders who can drive adoption. It's making sure that those folks are getting on board very quickly and they're excited for the entire time. You keep that momentum going, that train going down the tracks. And part of why this stuff works is because you end up avoiding having to win over every single developer team or adjacent team right away. You can start small and you can build it up from there. It's less resource required. It's a lot less time required and you can get to places very quickly and show value very fast. So why? Why do things this way instead of building out something a little more full-fledged from the start? So I'd say that there's four primary whys that we've come up with so far. The first one is just get wins. Get a concept off the ground quickly that shows value in weeks, not months. When you take it slowly step by step and you start small and you give yourself a timeline that pushes you to get it done very quickly, magic happens and we've seen it time and time again. The other thing is that this path builds groundswell and it builds momentum without the friction that happens when you start having to interact with all the other parts of an organization. When you start really small like this, you're basically building something that ends up gaining so much traction because it gradually catches on person by person by person or by team that these other teams can't say no. So in this context, I mean your finance team can't say no once you start building this momentum and everyone wants it. Old school development teams that are suddenly weeks and weeks and weeks behind on their sprints and their to-dos because they haven't adopted this technology suddenly go, oh, maybe that's not such a bad idea.  So you're not going to get yourself stuck in a lot of those fallacies because this process was actually designed to bypass those. It was designed with the theory and the philosophy of platform engineering in mind. And finally, I think it's really important that this path inspires teams, increases psychological safety.  I think that these pioneering teams that lead the way and innovate within organizations, it adds excitement to the day-to-day for those people. It's an incentive who doesn't want to be seen as an innovator, a big thinker and a big push forward. And a lot of people that get involved in this stuff become very passionate about it. And it's really wonderful to watch from the sidelines as people really engage and fall in love with this concept and essentially shout it from the rooftops. It's very cool. So let's do some design work. So I won't read this slide to you. You were going to get a copy of this deck and the reason why I made it so verbose is so that you can take the time and take the information in. But from a general perspective and looking at the design of these MVPs you should think about them as four key concepts. So they should be representative. They should be representing common resource components that go across your technical estate. So what's the most common database type?  What is your basic application structure? So for most folks that's a front end service, a back end service or two and a data layer. You're also probably going to look at basic ingress in DNS depending on what kind of applications you build. This stuff's really at the heart of probably every single development team within your organization or product. The next thing is that it's repeatable. So the idea is that you're building something that can be repeated again and again and again. And when you go to onboard new applications and new teams to this platform it should be very easy because the baseline is there and the baseline works. Think about it as a quick start for onboarding new applications and teams across your org. The third thing is iterative. So the whole idea is that you start small but you think about the future on the horizon. When you start thinking about this stuff and you allow yourself to start small you don't get caught in that complexity paradox where you're just over complicating it from the start. You know iteration is coming. You know you can think about that stuff and you also know you can confidently say we will put that on the roadmap. And finally, it should be innovative. The teams that work on this thing should be your pioneering teams and they should want to push things forward and engage inside of your internal developer community to push new technology and new ideas. I like to think about this as inspire, don't undermine or undermine, inspire the people internally to do things that are different and to try things that are new but also don't undermine the fact that everyone has unique ideas and ways of thinking. MVPs are not certain things as well and this is sort of where I like to, I will say put my foot down on how things are done and how you design these from a technical perspective. It can be challenging to do some of these things but I promise you if you do think about it this way it will make your life much easier. So MVPs are not high compliance. Instead of looking at very complex security requirements or high requirements of actual compliance and regulated industries, move fast with tools that don't require this to start. So generally how we've done this with our customers is sandbox accounts in AWS or GCP or Azure whatever it might be and demo applications. So there's nothing really proprietary, things that you can just go set up on your own and experiment with that don't require a million signatures. So that is generally how these start. The next thing is advanced architectures. So when we look at this, if you start talking about service meshes, multi-cluster deployments, failovers, customized portals, all this sort of stuff is way too advanced for iteration one. These are roadmap items and keep that in mind because you're gonna want to put those chances on your roadmap. Just start simple and think ahead. Think about what could come and allow yourself to start way before that. The next thing is advanced resource configuration. It's really easy to start thinking, well, I have six different setups for Postgres depending on what application and what workload it is and what environment it is. Just start really simple. Just start with a very common setup. You can't go into thinking about every single edge case at this stage. It's just not sustainable. Limit yourself to like a single tool or a single resource for each kind of component that you're looking at. So one database type, basic app structure, like I've already talked about, very simple ingress, basic CI and CD. Start here and grow. And finally, advanced observability. Set up a basic cluster and deployment monitoring because you're gonna want that. You're going to need that, but don't go overboard with tagging and all the other fun things you can do is stuff like Datadog because it's just not needed at this stage. Match the stage of your observability with the stage of your platform. It also doesn't make sense to put in really advanced logging and tracking on something that's so simple. I will note though, there are always exceptions to these rules. Sometimes you can't get past a high compliance scenario. Sometimes you need to put in a portal for your first integration. These things happen and you should be a little bit flexible on them, but try to maintain the key concepts of speed, time to value and iterative complexity in mind. If it can wait, it probably should. So I talked about pioneering teams and now I want to explain what we're actually looking for here and maybe you're part of one of these teams. These folks are hungry, they're excited by new technology, they're interested in driving innovation and they really want to do new things and encourage others to do the same. Sometimes we see this team actually existing within organizations. So some of the ones I've seen have been called Cloud Center of Excellence, Innovation Team, Developer Experience Team. We've seen a ton of these actually exist and it's very cool that they are part of large and small organizations. It just shows that people are thinking about this stuff, but you don't have to have a team with a fancy name on it. It can also just be a group of people that have a similar mindset, passionate developers, passionate platform folks who like to experiment, who like to inspire and who like to just think outside the box. So this team needs to be comfortable with showing, not telling. I can tell you all day how to do this, but if I don't show you in some way or another, I'm not really being a pioneer. It's really important to give people a example and a way to see something rather than just being told about it. And we'll do that in a bit. They also need to be comfortable being thought leaders. Some people are, some people aren't. They also need to be comfortable thinking small and starting that way and thinking long term. Some people just like to go 100,000% right out of the gate. As I said before, it's not super sustainable. And the final thing they should be comfortable with, which I think I've mentioned ad nauseam at this point, is evangelizing technology. You should really like to overshare about the cool stuff you're playing with. So we have our pioneering team. We have our general concept. Let's start on a technical design. So just remember, start simple, plan ahead. Aim to show value to the stakeholders you define within four weeks. It can only be done this way if you keep it simple. I know I keep harping on it, but it's extremely important. When you show that you can go to value very quickly, not just from a technical stakeholder perspective, but when you look at management and higher levels, executive level even, the faster you can show value in an initiative, the more likely it is to be adopted. So remember too at this stage that the representative application you should look at should follow a similar structure to a majority of your app state. So if you have a ton of microservices and microservice-based applications, that is how you should be showing it rather than just going with a giant monolith, which you only use in maybe a couple legacy components. Don't do that. Start with the representative app. Think about filling the basic components on a reference architecture diagram if you've hung out around Humanitech long enough or you have also looked around Platform Engineering.org enough, you will have seen some of these and I'll show you one in a little bit and what I mean by that. It just sort of helps give you a framework for what you need to think about. And some other considerations is that developers as a whole, and I can say this as a person that is very much like this, tend to respond better to code-based interfaces like SCORE, which is a Humanitech product that's open source. You should check it out if you haven't, but other things like it also are very important here. Don't take developers out of their IDP and version control flow, especially early on. You're trying to inspire them, not scare them. And the other thing is at this stage, you probably don't need a portal. Everyone seems to think they do. You probably don't, I promise. And at this stage, I'm obviously gonna plug this because this is how I think we can do this even faster is combining workload specs like SCORE with a platform orchestrator like Humanitech to move things even faster. It just makes your life easier. And then finally, I feel like this might be obvious, but I wanna say that anyway, it is incredibly unlikely, probably a 1% chance that you would need to go near a production environment with an MVP. So keep that in mind. Right now you can think beyond having to go that way and just stick with your non-production environments. All right, so this is the reference architecture diagram I mentioned. Anything highlighted in red is sort of what you're thinking about right now. So you're gonna look at your version control, how your workload specifications work, if you choose to go that direction and potentially how your IAC works, is it Terraform? You can even start without that, but for a lot of organizations, it just makes sense for them because they're already using it so they might as well continue. You're gonna check out your CI pipeline. So GitHub Actions is the most common one I see in these setups or something similar. A basic artifact registry. We put a platform orchestrator in the middle. Obviously I am biased. I think it's a great thing to do there. And then it goes into your basic CD system. And in terms of the resources you're gonna start thinking about, you're not gonna get too in-depth into services like PubSub and stuff right now, you're just gonna keep it really basic. And I will show you exactly what I mean. So I have a sample application. It is a demo bank. And so often with banks, we have a couple different things we need to think about. We usually have a user interface. We have a way of talking about money or thinking about money inside of our bank and we usually have users, we have account holders. This is very simplified. So I want you to think of your design requirements in three different buckets, applications and services, other infrastructure components and end-to-end flow. So on our app side, we have three microservices. We have a front-end, a money API and a user's API. And these are all connected. You can see we're all using the same container registry, very basic DNS, Nginx ingress and Postgres. Nothing really fancy on the service port side either, just TCP, nothing, you know, not rocket science. On our main infrastructure backbone, we're going to be using GitHub for version control. Our cloud provider is Google. We're using GKE as our Kubernetes distro and we're going to use the Humanitech secret store because it's what's easier for us when we're working with Humanitech. On the end-to-end flow side, this is we're going to think about CI, CD and our starting environments. So we're going to use GitHub Actions to build and push to the Humanitech container registry and then score Humanitech on that push side in order to move configurations over. On the CD side, we're just going to use basic Humanitech deploy at this point. It's very simple and is easy and very quick to get going. So with our starting environments, we're just going to start with dev and we'll start with staging. So now we've got, this is how we do this in four weeks. This is how we've been breaking this up for our users, for our customers in order to make this happen. And I can promise you it can be done in four weeks. So if you actually look at the technical integration, that is only two weeks. It's the two in the middle. You can build this thing in two weeks. You just have to do a little bit of planning on either end. So in the beginning, you're going to look at discovery and design, define your goals, define your outcomes. What does that ideal end-to-end flow look like at this stage? Identify the application you're going to use. Maybe you just push out a hello world inside of a browser somewhere. Maybe you put a little bootstrap front page together. I don't know, whatever you want, something very easy. And do that version 1.0 MVP architecture design like I've just talked about. Week two, you're going to start the platform and environment setup. You're going to put in your infrastructure components. So your clusters, your resources, your networking, get that all done. You're going to make sure that everything connects and that it functions well. In work three, now we start bringing in our workloads. So we implement our applications, our services, and we configure how everything is connected in that way. And then we also finish any end-to-end flow component configurations that we maybe haven't done yet. So perhaps if we didn't look at our CI CD before, this is where we do it. And we also will make sure everything works at this stage. In week four, once you've done the technical work, now you can plan on iteration and you can target your next teams. Your pioneers can start talking to other folks and showing them the magic that they've built. And this is where you're going to want to design a demo flow that focuses on showing the value. And often where we see that most impactful is developer experience and developer metrics. So that is where you will often see with this stuff, things change very quickly. Finally, showcase it to stakeholders. Don't be afraid to run it around and scream it from the rooftops as we like to do here. So finally, we'll just finish up with adoption and expansion. And this is really where people tend to have a lot of questions. How do you actually do this? So I challenge you to think of it this way. By the end of that four-week cycle I showed you, you should aim for an MVP that does two things. It proves it's worth to more than just developers and platform teams. So outside of your technical organization, people should see why this is an important investment from a time and money perspective. And the second thing is you're aiming for something that's ready to grow in a scalable and sustainable way. You're taking it easy to start. You're making sure that you can sustain the development of this thing. And then it's actually something people want to use. I'm sure a lot of us can come up with stories of organizations that have built platforms that no one uses over multiple years, millions of dollars. And that is a real, that's a real time suck and it's a real waste of money to do it that way. If you're doing it this way, it is much more sustainable. And it is way more scalable in terms of finance and time. So one of the next steps after you've built this thing and you've started demoing it out, there's three things that I think are really important. The first is to encourage your pioneers. Get these guys using it as fast as you can and engaging with it regularly. Encourage them to evangelize, promote the concept. They're doing a little Lunch and Learn demo. Maybe they show it in the Lunch and Learn. If you're doing a hackathon, maybe use the platform as part of the hackathon developers. Let your pioneer team shine.  Your influencers influence. Let them do that job. That's why they are so important. At the same time, you're also gonna gather feedback from all of your stakeholders, technical and not. Maybe you do get some security feedback that says, actually, you know what, this isn't so bad. Can we look at ABC for the next step? And then you think about how you're gonna put that on the roadmap.  Take the feedback seriously and just think about this. Build what people actually need and will use. Keep that in mind. And finally, iterate and grow. So like I said, take the feedback. Build your roadmap. Iterate on your roadmap. Don't be afraid to change it. Hublisize it. Treat it like a product. Grow into other teams, other business units. Make improvements that you see as you see them being needed. Never stop showcasing the value of this thing. And that's what we see as really, really amazing at Humanitech is once people have started this process and started moving through, they're just able to show value at every step of the way. Not just financial value, but actual value for time, for people's individual time, for the speed at which they're able to get things done because they're not waiting for stuff. Always be improving, but also always show the importance of what you're actually building. And just some ideas of where your iteration can go. And one of the reasons I put this slide in here is because I think you can look at it and say, oh, okay, this is something I can address later and not get stuck in that complex loophole that people often get stuck inside. So think about more advanced iterative possibilities like automated testing, automated environment promotion that could be based on that testing. We've seen that, that's pretty cool. More complex networking and security protocols. This is definitely something that you're going to probably have to put in at some point. So start thinking about when that makes sense and how you can build it in. Advanced logging and monitoring, also very useful. Complex deployments. So this is where I see people doing things like Blue Green and Canary, other fail-safe type deployments. How does this work? Very, very common to start building in. Portal and service catalog implementation. This is often for a lot of our customers kind of the next step of things. If they do decide to go that way, that tends to be part of the initiative. So that is where we iterate to next often. This is where you'll also start thinking about complex integrated resources and dependencies. So maybe you have interlaced database dependencies or maybe you have a couple of applications that are very dependent on each other and the stage that they're at. This is where you can start thinking about that stuff too. And then finally, probably one of the other big things we get asked about a lot is multi-cloud deployments. It's very easy to do with Human Attack actually. And I've also seen this as sort of a stage two iteration, but it sort of depends on if it's something that works for you guys. So like I said, this is a lot to take in. You're gonna get a copy of this slide deck. And I really encourage you to sign up for the webinar next week that actually gets hands on. Getting your hands dirty with this is probably going to be beneficial. I think a lot of people, once they start actually trying this stuff out and trying to actually build a quick platform in less than a few weeks, you actually realize how not easy is not the word, but you realize how simple it is, how quickly you can get somewhere with it when you don't overcomplicate things. I think as engineers, we're very prone to that. It's easy to over engineer in this space and it's important to keep yourself very on track and to keep yourself honest about what you're building. So that being said, that is the end of the formal presentation.


It was too traumatic for me to take. I'm a very nervous person. And my family were there with me. My husband was there with me. And my children were actually, two of them were abroad. And one was in Delhi. So I was really like, I felt wretched. And they were very, very supportive. My son came down as soon as he heard about it to be with me. My husband as soon as he heard about this, he was with me. And he was very shocked. But he didn't show any emotions because he was worried I might get too nervous. So he gave me a lot of support and said, don't worry. Nowadays, things have advanced with research and we will see. And I was recommended by my GP, Dr. Anu Jengapam. And I went to see my doctor, Dr. Shabed Zaveri from Manipal Hospital. And he had guided me that you will have to undergo a surgery. I felt dead. I said, what? I'm not going to go through all this suffering. I cannot. But then during the surgery, it was a long surgery. After that, when I came to him, actually I was in no pain. I was shifted to my room in Manipal Hospital. And my doctors came to see me and check on me. I was quite comfortable and fine. I was not in pain. Whatever we hear and see in movies, etc. I don't know. I felt it was very exaggerated. I do go every year for all my tests which have been normal up to now with God's grace. I would like to suggest here to people who are unfortunately diagnosed with cancer that please have a positive mind. I volunteer for the Manipal Cancer Support Group.


Someone reported that today. So yeah, that's why you got the epidural. I guess how long ago did that happen? Not the epidural but the herniated disc. Well, he's had it. You know, he's had this a couple years ago So he's had this throughout his career at some points and I guess there was a flare-up I'm not sure when they recognized it was beyond like a regular back flare-up and and herniated disc or What not but he there's someone on the line there. That's that was the reason for the epidural Are you still as confident as you were in him actually suiting up and playing this season? Yeah, you know, I don't think it changes You know the outcome necessarily, you know, we still have high hopes that he can come back He's had moments during his rehab where he's on the court doing some things and it looks like he's about to turn a corner And then there's a little setback. So I still feel optimistic that he can play for us


Good morning friends, Sunday morning nine o'clock Welcome to the deep things of God with brother Mike Sitting here in my den in Phoenix, Arizona. Welcome to hardcore christianity.com Today interesting Bible study on how to get miracles from God. I'll show you exactly how to do it Believe it or not. It's a lot easier you think It's quite quite shocking So I hope you'll go to the website room remember every Sunday, of course I'm on at nine o'clock in the morning also to every Tuesday at 6 p.m. I have a zoom deliverance service. I post that on my Facebook page Michael W Smith and this Tuesday also the face the Zoom is at 6 p.m. Pacific and Arizona time and I have a question and answer period and then after that we do Some prayer time so don't forget about Tuesdays at 6 p.m. Please remember the zoom broadcast with brother Rick and the ministry team They are on Wednesdays at the same time 6 p.m. Pacific time 6 p.m. Arizona time by the way, the time change is about to occur this this Sunday, I believe it's two in the morning so that'll change a little bit so Don't forget about we got two services on zoom every week Tuesdays and Wednesdays also we have two live services in Phoenix that are broadcast on multiple platforms including our YouTube teaching channel Just put in YouTube comm slash house of healing AZ and You're there every Thursday and Friday night. That's at 7 p.m Arizona and Pacific time and again, that's about to change with the time change So we've got plenty of things available for you to learn the deep things of God I want to do my best today to share it with you some very important things if you would Turn with me to Matthew chapter 8. I call these the miracle Chapters and you'll find some fascinating things about the word of God and how easy it is to get a miracle from God The devil wants to complicate it and he wants to make it very difficult and he wants you to use your mind to try and figure it out That is a recipe for disaster. Okay miracles come from childlike faith From the spirit man Through the word of God With love so all you need to get a miracle from God is childlike faith And love you add the word of God to that mix You win you can't possibly lose check it out Matthew chapter 8 When Jesus came down from the mountain multitudes followed him and behold there came a leper worshiping him and saying to him Lord If you will you can make me whole or make me clean now that Greek word for it if If you will is the Greek word phalo and it means if you want to Many people believe that God is able to do something has the power to do something But they question his willingness to do it and so what the Holy Ghost is doing here by putting this Incredible story in the Bible What he's doing here is telling you I want to I Want to and you know that the son and the father Want to because Jesus said I only do those things. I see my father doing I Only Speak those things I hear my father saying so what happened here was a dying leper approaches him and Father looking through Jesus eyes sees him and said boy, I would love to heal that guy Jesus heard him say it and said Says to the leper as he's walking up Jesus put forth his hand verse 3 and touched him again demonstrating for us that the laying on of hands to transfer the anointing is a very productive method of Seeing people healed you don't have to lay hands on everybody every time. Obviously, but Some kind sometimes it requires the laying on of hands and this is one of them He lays his hand off on a communicable disease The Holy Ghost blocking the disease and destroying it. No fear of being transferred to Jesus and He says I will Be clean and the Greek word again same Greek word. They know I want to Be clean and immediately his leprosy was cleansed and the man Then was told to go give a testimony of his healing. Can you believe it? That's how Amazing it was how easy it was to get a miracle from God, but you'll notice something here the leper Came to Jesus. Jesus didn't run him down Same as true for you. You got to come in with childlike faith.  You got to come in with perseverance Now, how do you know my that Mike that it didn't say that in the verse? Well, I've been a counselor for 40 years and I know people better than most people and the people are my business People are my job This leper was not even supposed to be out of the Valley of the lepers. Okay, they kept them separate from society They got kicked out of society They didn't live in Houses or in cities or villages. No, they kicked them out because for obvious reasons. It's a communicable disease So this leper had insurmountable determination to leave seclusion or Quarantine to use to use our term nowadays Fight his way through Rejection and fear of others everybody who saw a leper back in the day would stone them For obvious reasons. It's communicable disease He fights through his fears. He fights through the people He he fights through his exhaustion and his sickness And he walks all the way from wherever he lived to hunt down Jesus and you can see there that miracles Require your cooperation and your determination You've got to be like the dying leper. You've got to be able to get to Jesus and be determined Without a question or doubt That you're going to push through that's what he did And then Jesus said to him I want to Be clean. Can you imagine that? That's how easy it was to get a miracle. Why? Because Jesus saw the leper's faith. He heard him Speak he saw the determination in the leper he saw What he had sacrificed to get to Jesus Bang it's a miracle Miracle number two in the miracle chapters Matthew chapter eight and nine Matthew chapter eight Jesus came to Capernaum, which was his headquarters That was his new home. He had moved from Nazareth to Capernaum and there he is Writing down the pathway is a bunch of soldiers He looks up and he sees a centurion A centurion And he was begging him it says He was begging So here you say the same situation Or a similar situation as the dying leper You see a centurion who is making sacrifices and is determined To get to christ and is pushing himself and making an effort Through determined domination To get to the living christ And he says to jesus my servant is laying at home. He is grievously tormented greek word for A servant there is pice. It means a young child So it could have been a servant child or it could have been his son. We don't know But it says he's lying at home sick of the palsy Peraluticus is a greek word. It means A spinal cord injury And it says he is grievously tormented The greek word is basanizo. It means to be tortured He's being tortured. So this sounds like Some kind of demonic activity on top of a medical condition And jesus said to him Without a hesitation you see how easy this is to get a miracle He saw the centurion's determination and his faith. It was demonstrated in his behavior And the response is I will come and heal him That was it There was no conversation No intercessory prayer nobody was going through a bunch of religious incantations nothing Soon as jesus saw that this centurion meant business. Okay to use a slang phrase He saw it He says to him, okay, let's go Let's get it done. It's done.   I want you to do something freaky The centurion blows jesus's mind.  It didn't mean the roof overhead. It meant the overhang in front of the house I'm not worried. Don't even come up to the steps of my house. Don't even Don't even do that because i'm not worthy of it Tecanus is the greek word. It means i don't deserve it Now notice this the centurion coming to christ doggedly determined with a broken heart and humbleness and childlike faith See that those things trigger a miracle all the time he says Listen, i am a man who is under authority he says And i have men under my authority pecking order He says i tell them do this they do it i tell them to go there they go there Look at the guys behind me. I told them to saddle up and come here when i heard about you You know the centurion was kind of strange There were some proselytes back then there were some people who were romans who did believe in the one and only true god He was one of them he'd been raised around jews and he'd been to the synagogue as a kid and he recognized the scroll of isiah With all the prophecies of the moshiach And the messiah was going to have certain traits and the centurion knew it. He knew what those traits were And he said the stories i'm hearing about this yashua from nazareth That has got to be the moshiach.  He's saying i I'm a man under authority.  He says just Speak the word only Can you imagine that? He says speak the word only and My servant will be healed utterly unbelievable Give me some lagas. Give me the word Just speak the word only It's a done deal It's a done deal and here's what's shocking about it and here's what I hope you'll do today first ten says jesus was Marvelling at the man The greek word is the madzo It means to be shocked this Gentile who's not even jewish Makes a statement Of utter and pure faith and belief Jesus Mouth drops open He can't believe it He is stunned He says i have not found anybody in israel. Okay, he says israel That has the faith of this gentile. He wasn't even jewish unbelievable Absolutely unbelievable and jesus was just stunned That's what it is. You know what?  I want you to stun god this morning Instead of complaining and griping and having doubts and having unbelief Questioning things what if what if what if this what if that but this but that no no no no Not today. You're not going to if or but anything You're just going to believe period and you're going to cause the good lord to drop his mouth open Jesus turns to the people that are following. These are messianic jews. These are jews.  He says to the centurion go your way Ready as you have believed Remember miracles are based on some type of foundation Belief in god the greek word is pistul It's a greek verb and it means to step out in faith Having zero doubts and zero unbelief. You have no doubt and you have no unbelief period You simply step out in faith pistul. You're doing something demonstrate The faith in your heart This is the teaching god's trying to show you What's the holy ghost doing right now? He's trying to uncomplicate Miracles for you That's exactly what it is. It's unbelievable. It's uncomplicating how this system works Okay, because the simplicity of christ is the key When you start factoring in pastors preachers teaching You know degrees from seminaries and bible colleges christianity gets all jacked up Once you go to the loggus You can't lose Once you simplify the gospel You win It's in the bag You're killing it It's yours And that's what the centurion did That's what the leper did. They just simplified it They simplified it they believed They fought their way through adversity Bank they got a miracle Oh, just like that And it says the centurion immediately went home And it says the servant was healed in the same Hour Within the same hour so this centurion Didn't live that far away from where jesus was in capernaum Okay, now to give you an idea how incredible the story is Check this out I had I had this printed up for you originally, but The problem is I I couldn't pick up the order because I forgot my password. But anyway, I decided to write it out here Here is a roman legion Buried between three thousand and six thousand soldiers, but a regular legion Was six thousand soldiers right here They were supervised by 60 centurions each centurion Supervised a hundred soldiers and a cohort was 10 Superbizing above centurions There was 10 of them per legion Above that was six tribunes There were six tribunes above a legion I don't know if you can see that I wish my printing had come through I got to start remembering these passwords And above the tribunes, of course the Like in the united states the president of the united states is in charge of the military Let that sink in But a emperor the emperor was in charge of the military And the emperors of Rome always gave the military anything they wanted because for obvious reasons If there was going to be a coup The military would be behind it and would Obviously kill the emperor so they always made sure the soldiers were happy Just want to be happy Then in Matthew chapter eight the miracle chapters Matthew eight and Matthew nine Here we go again Jesus later went over to Peter's house and His mother-in-law was dying And she had what the bible says uh Uh puresso puresso is a skyrocketing Fever a fever that's getting super bad super bad If it gets too bad, obviously, you know what happens your your organs shut down the patient dies Jesus went in and it says once again. He laid hands on her notice the centurion. He did not lay hands on it Okay, you don't have to lay hands on somebody all the time to have them heal But it does work sometimes when you need healing. There's no problem either way works Faith is the operating factor a greek word pistas to believe with no doubts and no unbelief First thing he touched her There it is. He touched her hand. He just reached over, you know, she's laying on the cot there She's moments from death her fever is skyrocketing puresso and he reaches over and he Holds her by the hand That's a beautiful scene. Don't you think? Yeah, what is it? Jesus was the greatest counselor of them all. I'm a I'm a been a counselor for 40 years I was a secular counselor for 25 years And I was excellent at it my skill level of the counselor is top of the line My ability to counsel people Allowed me to never see anybody ever cured I was a secular counselor for 25 years. I never had anybody cured It's unbelievable. I made I made a lot of money off of them you know the miracle of insurance and I never cured anybody Okay, and again, I was a highly skilled highly skilled counselor couldn't cure anybody Okay, the Holy Ghost is the greatest counselor In the universe period bar none. No one questions it And here he is counseling so to speak and he reaches over I've done it myself Just held somebody's hand as a sign of of love and care and concern and compassion and he Touched her hand and guess what left her Yeah It says the fever just gone There it is poor at us disappeared She goes right back to normal And she got up and ministered to them Yeah, I mean they were exhausted from healing all these people over in Capernaum They'd been walking a long time and they needed lunch.  No, that's not going to happen You're going to get delivered from demons.  I have a special group on facebook called facebook group called blessings In that group, I post many of the miracles that are happening at the Arizona Deliverance Center And at hardcore christianity.com I post the miracles there And I usually post a picture with it I don't mention anybody's name. I do things anonymously. I write it so that you can't figure out who it is But those miracles on the blessings group have given people Uh, it's almost like advertising People contact me. I get hundreds of emails a week I send out The miracle list Mike at hardcore christianity.com. I send that out dozens of times a week I send out zoom broadcasts Tuesday and Wednesdays dozens of times a week But the miracles the moving of the holy ghost 100 of the miracles and healings and deliverances are Caused by the spirit of the lord Zero percent are caused by me. I I couldn't heal anybody if my life depended. I came heal myself I recently had to have surgery. I mean if I could heal myself, I would have never gone in for surgery But verse 16 the miracles of the holy ghost And god's son Attract a crowd here it is verse 16 when the evening came They brought to him many who were possessed by devils This is the king james version. The greek word is daimonides of mine. It means to be under the control In greater or lesser degree of a spirit So everybody who is infected with demons Uh is under the control of that spirit At different levels Some demons are stronger than others. Some of them are weaker. Some of them have different skills Some of them cause different sicknesses different illnesses different mental illnesses demons are Various in their contact content and in their personality This uh translation here is very poor. It should never be used king james. They use the word possessed. Okay Very very very few people just a minute minute Amount are possessed by demons Years ago. I used to have a prison and a jail ministry in the state of arizona I would travel around to prisons uh ministering in their chapels and god Wow, it was unbelievable. I had deliverance services going all the time around the state but uh Included in my department of corrections card. I used to have a card Actually, I still have that card hanging in my office, but it's not valid anymore. I got kicked out. But anyway That card included the state hospital, which is down on ban burin in phoenix the state hospital Okay I saw people possessed by demons at the state hospital possession means that they just take over everything They're they're just in total control The vast majority of sinners and christians are not possessed by demons. In fact christians can't be possessed by demons A christian cannot be possessed by demons They can be infected in their body because of the physical illness or in their mind because of a mental illness But they cannot be possessed by demon. That's that's not possible Don't let anybody ever tell you that christians are not possessed by demons Infected like having the flu. Yes, 100 percent possessed absolutely not And here it says Many people who were dimon needs of mine dimon needs of mine under the control of spirits to varying degrees And he cast out the spirits with his luggus word And he healed all that we're sick Okay, now that is showing us that there's a difference between a medical condition and a medical condition caused by a demon Not everything is demons. Okay, so if you just have someone that needs to be healed you can't cast demons out of them So they can get healed you pray for healing and then the holy spirit heals them If somebody has an illness caused by demons You can't pray for healing You need to do deliverance So the person can be healed. Okay I have a book I wrote called atonement healing that bifurcates all of the healings in the new testament I go right down the list for you explaining it Some things are medical some things are to be demonic. Okay, not everything's a demon and it says here Verse 17 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaias the prophet Okay, and that's obviously Isaiah Isaias is the Septuagint's translation of Isaias Hebrew name that's from the Septuagint Isaias the prophet he said himself took our infirmities That's the Greek word Athenia. It means our weaknesses and it says he bear our sicknesses sicknesses Nossus is the Greek word for sicknesses there. It means diseases You know leukemia can't different forms of cancer. Okay Viruses bacteria diseases sicknesses He bore them it says Bore them Bastazo This Greek word means to lift something up and carry it off He best odds oh he lifted up and carried off our sicknesses He lifted up and carried off our diseases How do we know that because Peter's mother-in-law was dying with a disease That was causing an accelerating fever and he touched her hand lovingly and showed his compassion to those around him and she Instantly The disease was gone And you can't lose with this system friend Matthew chapter 8 is the miracle chapter. You cannot lose with this thing You can't lose Now let's go down to verse 23. Here's another miracle This is when Jesus entered into the ship The disciples followed And it says there rose a great tempest in the sea What in the world does that mean? Oh, it's a storm or hurricane. No a seismus Seismus is a tsunami That's an earthquake under the ocean that causes the sea to look like it's in a hurricane, but it is not the waves Are so big and powerful they cause a wind So it looks like a storm, but it's actually a tsunami tsunami pardon me And it says it occurred in the sea And it says the ship was covered with waves Meaning they were going to die It was going to be capsized. They were all going to drown but Jesus Having perfect pistas or faith and full assurance that what god had Stated he was able to perform Just like he told Abraham Jesus knew he was protected So he saw in logs in the bottom of the ship unbelievable in the middle of a tsunami chilling Kicking back And the disciples came to him in an obvious panic Saying look, uh, we're about ready to Die. We're about ready to be destroyed. The greek word is apolamy And jesus said to them, why are you Fearful now, this is the greek word that was mistranslated in fearful. It should be cowardly Delos, it's a greek adjective Why are you acting like cowards? Delos you remember paul told timothy God has not given you the spirit of fear but a power love and a sound mind. That's was also mistranslated That was also the greek word delia the adjective is Delos it means cowardice Cowardice will block every miracle You ever hope to have from god you will never receive it Fear and cowardice are two demons that work together. They always work together fear greek word fabbas Delia cowardice they always work together. Here's how it works. The fear greek demon gives you the the initial adrenaline rush of Shock and awe boom.  Oh ye of little faith When your faith drops Cowardice Accelerates it's like a kid on a teeter totter They don't have teeter totters anymore. I don't think but when I was a kid One guy would sit at this end the other sitting you would go up and down like that And then if one of the kids was cold-blooded He would go down and then jump off of it and you would crash to the ground remember that Yeah, that happened to me several times I wasn't all that popular in grade school I'm very popular now obviously but when I was in grade school. I wasn't working I used to get the teeter totter boom That's what it is when Faith goes up fear goes down When fear goes up Faith goes down Why are you acting like cowards? Oh ye of little faith. Oh fear went up cowardice went up Faith and believing went down Okay What do you need to do to fix that I'm praying that god will give you a revelation today of Your faith And and what you're going to hear the lord tell you if you're listening is that your faith is fine It's great. You need to remove the cowardice Your faith is fine Just remove The fear and doubt That's the key to victory. You got to remove The fear and the doubt once you do that your faith boom It blossoms you can't be stopped You can't lose It's not possible Keep it simple You step out in faith with no no doubts and no unbelief you remove your fear You remove your cowardice And you like the centurion like the dying leper You move forward and you win You cannot lose following This formula in matthew chapter eight Now here's something else very interesting in this section of text verse 26 it says Then jesus arose and he rebuked the winds and the sea imagine that Now that greek word for rebuke there is pitamao it means to charge or aggressively charge someone Or command someone to stop doing something pitamao That greek word with jesus was only used when he was rebuking satan or demons So this looks to me like satan has something to do with that tsunami Which gives you an idea of his incredible power And that power was clearly demonstrated in jove chapter one and jove chapter two Satan has enormous power over the weather people nations the whole nine yards And it looks like in this verse since the word rebuked was used pitamao It looks like this had something to do with satan trying to drown jesus and the disciples Trying to drown jesus and the disciples He caught it He rebuked the winds and the sea Well, normally there's no reason to rebuke wind because it's not a person There's no reason to rebuke the sea because that's not a person But if a person is behind it Then this verse makes perfect sense and then it says there was a great calm That is exactly what happens when you remove your cowardice and you remove your fears You get what the leper got Complete healing and his body was in a great calm You got exactly what the centurion wanted The spinal cord in the boy's neck or low back or whatever it was Was mended or cured spinal cord injuries are Shockingly supernatural because the spinal cord can't be fixed By uh doctors. It's so complicated. There's so many threads neurons In spinal cord. There's no way to connect them all Through surgery can't be done They don't have a cure for spinal cord disabilities now Then it says last verse verse 27 The men marveled What greek word is that the same one again the mazzo they were in a state of shock their jaw Dropped They said what manner of man is this that the winds and see obey him Yes friend There it is you got it Half a chapter of the miracle chapters matthew eight and nine And you can see how easy it is to get a miracle How much god wants to give you a miracle How much he cares about you He wants to help you He's ready to help you boom He's ready to make a move on your life but Add those ingredients would you remove your fears remove your Cowardice wipe that yellow streak off your back Come in aggressively like the centurion and the Lepper be strong Step up Fight back I don't know.  Get off your duff Push your way in Make your move Take the log us with you You can't lose We can win this thing 100 percent We can win this thing Well, how can this possibly happen go to facebook and go to my group blessings There's a picture of the deliverance center on the front of that group page Okay Scroll down through the thing and see all these people that have been Delivered and healed. They're just regular people like you and me We're just regular foe But what makes us special is not me, but I believe not you but you believe We're all believers. We're children of god. We we're gonna win this thing. There's no doubt about it. We can't lose We can't lose You just follow the simple Formula in the bible so simple And you win Okay I'll see you Tuesday night at six o'clock pacific time and arizona time tuesday night It could be five p.m pacific time as you know with the time change I'll see you there Same thing on wednesday night brother rick and the ministry team will see you on the zoom on six o'clock wednesday night And that's a six p.m. arizona time five p.m pacific time And uh, you could send me an email mic at hardcore christy anity dot com I will send you a religious exemption.

Good morning. Good morning. I think we better get seated. There will be two weeks. There are still cameras. We'll just have to score. We'll just have to score. We'll just have to score. One at a time. Just remind everyone to do their notebooks closed while these cameras are... Keep your minds closed. Somebody else is going to film. I see what you're talking about. We finally have done that thing that we said about the last supper. Maybe one or two. Let's get on this side of the table. Sport, but five seconds to go. Tied 20 and 20. Playing the championship team. He was lying. I didn't say that. I didn't want to do it. I was excited again. Somebody come on. Chinese. I didn't see it. I didn't see it. Mr. President, the speaker right is charged that the CIA is attempting to provoke the Sandinistas into taking repressive measures. Do you have any reaction to that? Yes, the reaction I have, and they should fit the speaker, also is. But there's no way that we can talk publicly about intelligence operations of any kind. So you don't want to take this opportunity to dispute his assertion. Is that right, Mr. President? I say if I start going down that road, then I'm creating the same violation that he did.  I just say that it's common sense to not discuss anything having to do with intelligence or CIA operations and so forth. Some people think George Bush has overdone the Pledge of Allegiance issue. He's impugning Mr. DeCoccus' moe. What's your reaction to that? I kind of enjoyed it. I think it's a fine thing if our children, I remember clearly back to my school days, and that's quite a ways back, but I don't see any reason why they should not learn the various customs and so forth that have to do with things of that kind. I have seen many children today that don't know what they're supposed to do when the national anthem is played or when the flag goes by. And I remember that I learned all of that in school. Why shouldn't they? But, sir, do you believe that a teacher should be forced to teach something in our country today? Well, that's what they're there for. Their job is to teach something. Thank you. Are there other more serious issues than the Pledge done, Mr. President? Yes. We've been trying to collect it correct a lot of them, and I think that education as a result of what Bill Bennett is doing and what now our new secretary is going to do has improved education as they deal across the country. But, obviously, there's much more to do. What kind of debating advice do you have for the vice president? What kind of debating advice do you have for the vice president for Sunday? Take no prisoners. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Let's go, please. Let's go, please. I think we should have a master print. We should have monthly press conferences. Thank you. Thank you. You're going to start the presentation. Thank you. I recall that one of the major recommendations coming out of Dave Packard's commission was that we achieve a closer linkage between our strategy and our budgetary allocations. And I'm sure this becomes a particularly challenging task during a time of declining or minimal growth budgets. So I look forward to receiving your views on the strategic impact of the defense program reductions that we've had to make and how well-prepared we are for the future. And, Crowe, I understand you're going to lead off. Well, thank you, Mr. President. I would like to be outside of it. It's a pleasure, Bill. It's a pleasure to be with you. It's a pleasure to be with you. It's a pleasure to see you, sir. George Paine from Nashville County State. Good to see you, sir. Thank you. Mr. President Charles, you've heard. I'm the President-elect of the National Conference of Bank of Texas. Thank you. Mr. President, I want to congratulate you on this thing. Just a little old cheap judge at the Bank of Chicago, Brooklyn. I saw you on television last night. I say, you're great. Yes. I should try to take you to the Bank of Texas. I walked in, and there was a picture of you, Romney. There was another picture of you with a football, and another one with Pat O'Brien. I said, Judge, I don't get the connection. He says, don't you know who I am? I said, where are you? You've got Don Miller. He said, don't you know what that means? He said, boy, I saw a picture with four horsemen, and he says, we went out to Hollywood, and I was there with you with the government, I think. I mean, they went that way when I was there. But this was a picture you made of the new Rockney story. That's right. So you see, we all have something in common. Perhaps the pork coats here. Yeah, the pork coats. I'd like to present this to you to the half of National Times and the Bank of Texas judges, if I may, for a job well done. It's a larger than you know.  I can ask this in Jim Wright to speak. All right. That's good. The New Orleans has gave you a much larger than you know. I realize that. Well, listen, thank you very much. I'm greatly honored to have you here tonight. I think that you bankrupt the judges and serve as you perform and make commerce and industry possible and justice to those who could otherwise be defauded of that sort of attitude. Thank you very much. We appreciate it. Thanks for giving us a little time. You know how busy you are. Well, boy, you sure are busy. Well, we appreciate it. I do. This is handsome. Yeah. Thank you very much. See this now in the presidential library. Very good. As you can note, it says some of the busiest judges in America. Yes. Well, thank you very much. How about one formal photo here? Everybody in a big camera. Does everyone love the barrier here? That's great. Thank you, Mr. President. You're welcome. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you. Thank you. I'm the former president of the 11th nominee public. We're not that big. This guy there, the county, we love you all. Really? All families. He's apolitical now, though. I can't help it. I can't help it. I won't row away all the way. Thanks, sir. Well, thank you. Thank you. It's a pleasure. Thank your colleagues. Most grateful for this. Are you a chance to Washington? Well, I come to Washington quite often. Yes. That's all right. Good. You and I are supposed to go out on steps for a couple of minutes for our press to get pictures of the awards. And then we'll cut our fingers. Good. All right. We'll be here to share that with you before. Good. I've always found our talks interesting and enjoyable. Please convey my greetings to the general secretary. Secretary. It's been nearly four months since our visit there. We still have very fond memories. We're proud of what we've been able to achieve in all five aspects of our relationship, as I said out there a moment ago. But over the past few years, I think much more remains to be achieved, both in the interest of our two countries and the world as a whole. As I said in process, I should say a process of motion that will not end with this administration. The consistency of our policy, the continuation of our discussions represented by our media today will serve both our countries well in years to come. We're proud of the progress that we've made, human rights, arms control, the resolution of regional conflicts. We benefit everyone, even the expansion of our cooperative exchanges and most especially people to people. I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Hey, it doesn't matter.  I'm just letting you know what I'm looking for. It's not fun Julie having this weekend. Oh yeah, can't David? What are you doing?


Welcome to my channel. I am Yoshida and this is Norris Cove. If this is your first time viewing one of my videos I hope that you will stay a while and if you like what you see hit the subscribe button also hit the notification bell so that you are notified whenever I upload content. So let's jump right in. I have this stack here. It's time to classic plan and I just couldn't make up my mind when I want it and I even have my Walmart sticker books. It's just so much and I've been wanting to use a simply lovely sticker book and it's just I've been seeing a lot of that of the simply lovely. I'm just so confused I want to use color story. I thought I had something picked out in color story when to kind of go with the free spirit situation here but it was kind of dark. I don't know and of course I have memory keeping here for my dates and again I have another color story. It's more colorful boxes which I mean I mean oh here is I was like that I want to use boss babe and I don't know I just don't know what to use. So and I have daydreamer here I'm just trying to use something besides florals, botanicals and what have you. So I think what I normally use I think I'm going to just it's the cross between daydreamer and simply lovely. First let's get the dates taken care. So this is last week's spread. Let me zoom out just a little bit. This is how last week's spread turned out. Today is currently Thursday and this is where I'm at. I need to I really need to get anything done. I see that came out and I'll wipe that off a little bit. So anyway I just wanted to mark off some things that I'm taking care of. So this is how it came out. The front of the week was super super busy. I got a lot of stuff done. So let's just pop right on in. Now here's the thing I'm gonna have to pick some washi tape and I normally do this. Well let me take care of that and then I'll be right back so that I don't hold up the video. Plus I gotta go to my other cart to get some washi tape and all of that so I'll be right back. Okay friends so this is what I use. I use this washi tape. Not sure where I got it from. I use this little thin 3 millimeter washi tape and I do know that I got this one off of Amazon. I'll try to leave a link below so that it was like ugh let me get my light in the other. It was about ooh I think I got about y'all I'm trying to fix my light. It was about maybe 12 of these and they came in 3 millimeter 5 millimeter I believe. So I put that to the side. This right here won't stay down so I'm definitely putting something right here. So you can see that's just sitting up. I want to lift it up. Let me just take it off. Rewrite it out. I was gonna try to put something there. Then the curl. They curl up. So in who? I'm going in color story and I'm just gonna pick out some nice things to put here. I'm just gonna kind of play off the colors that are here. Let's see. Be your own kind of beautiful. Wait a minute. So I'm not gonna I don't plan to do too too much to this. I'm trying to stay away from florals because florals is my thing. I sewed this. This says. Let's put this somewhere. Put this right here. I move my lighting and I can't get it back right and I move my camera so it's hard to get it just right. Let me try to adjust my camera. Here we go. Now I can go out just a little bit. Okay. There we go. Alright. So I got that. Let's see. So I thought those colors kind of match everything. I saw people doing a lot of the squad girls this week and I didn't really want to do squad girls. This is giving me kind of mermaidish vibes. See like vibes. So I'm gonna take this and just cut it. So I try to start with a color theme or quote and just kind of go from there. But sometimes they don't always turn out that way. So is everyone who have kids? Are your kids out of school? Are your kids out of school yet? Or what? My son he doesn't get out until next Friday the 14th and my daughter is she's been out of college and she doesn't go back until she's in the band and she goes back for leadership camp August the 1st. She just told me this yesterday. So I got a little while for my kids at least for a while. Not a little while but I think I'm gonna put this here. This is a little seashell. I'm just gonna put it down here and then over here. I didn't see this seashell. I'll put that in between Tuesday and Wednesday. Just to kind of balance it out. I prefer to stay in one book but sometimes I know it's the inevitable and you can't. You have to kind of go into more than one. So you plan for the day that I can just lay a sticker straight like really. I don't think I'm gonna do too too much. I do want to put a list over here or maybe something over that box over. This is perfect. Tuesday Monday. This is here and I'll lay it there. I think that'll kind of me turn this around. Sometimes I don't know why but I loved the lives and I really wanted to get me a neutral planner. That's what I was looking for and so I was looking in my upcoming planner. It starts in July and it's not neutral either. So I would still have to do a little work to it. I want to double this sticker. Let me see what else I got. I'm gonna pull this sticker and I'm just gonna layer this too. I don't know what's going on with this page. The top of my page. Like I don't know what happened. I'm probably going back and forth in my purse but I love planning in my happy planner. I just love the creativity that I get to do. That's the one thing that kind of drew me to the happy planner is I wanted to one be able to take the pages out to excuse me too. I wanted to just be creative and use the stickers and I just felt like the stickers was made for you know the happy planner. So I definitely wanted to be able to do that down just a little bit. Now that means I'm gonna put a sign or something. Then we have these little things here. I don't think I'm going to... I'm not digging that white out. I don't like that white out. Well I don't like to be able to see the white out. I probably should have used a bigger tape but it's all to the good. So yeah these kids are getting out for the summer.  So like what snacks do you have for your kids for the summer? My kids it's just the same kind of snacks that we do during the year. I'm not a snack buyer. My husband is mainly the snack buyer of the house. I buy regular groceries because when I grew up we didn't have snacks. I grew up in the south and snacks that was a treat. Like we ate regular food like vegetables and chicken and eating out wasn't an option. When we got money for doing something for somebody we didn't get... we didn't get allowances or anything like that but if we did something for someone and they gave us a dollar or two then we would go to the store to buy snacks. But snacks was not in our house at all. I'm looking around at a green room here just to kind of balance it out. Since everything is so light and kind of airy I don't think I'll use my... what is it? stencil this week? Let me move this because that's to move that over here. Just trying to balance it out a little bit. Yeah since everything is so light I don't think I'll use my stencil this week. So that's looking pretty pretty good. Let's see is there anything else? So I basically just stayed in... here's a dark purple. I'm gonna put that over here on Tuesday because I always have something to do on Tuesday. Tuesday for me planning wise is the day that I get a lot... at least that's the day I should get a lot of stuff done. Like I did a bunch of batching of videos this week for my beauty channel and also for this channel and it felt good but then uploading those, editing those, it kind of put me behind a little bit in my planning videos. So I'm liking that. I think that's pretty good. I think I got some makeup on here. Something right there to say to do the plan. Remember I think I'm gonna use this purple to do right here and I'm just gonna put that... I'm trying not to be handicapped to my tweezers but I kind of am. So Saturday I really don't... I try not to do too too much on Saturday and again this is my catch-all. So it's not a weekend banner or something. And then I think I'm gonna go into... This is too cute. It says Shale. Yeah it's too wicked. Oh that is too cute. I'm gonna put that right here. That is too cute. Shale, yeah. Y'all seen that video?   What did we do before online videos and stuff like that? What did we do? We got entertained off of commercials. They came on TV. All this seems to be stuck. Oh wait a minute, I might have it and I do. I think that's just the light out. And I may put something to kind of cover that up. I think I'm done. It's something I wanted to add... Oh I did the weekend, the weekend sticker. So that's pretty much it. Hmm. I think that's it. Everything. What was it? Oh the boxes. I do want to add colorful boxes. Just a few. So I decided since I'm using the green I'm not gonna change the dates. I kind of want to but I'm not. I'm not going to do it. So I'm in colorful boxes now and I'm gonna take some of these purple boxes and just a few. I'm gonna put a box or two over here on Monday and Tuesday. I don't really think I need a box over there. How's that looking? How's it looking? How's it looking? Oh I'm gonna use this down here at the bottom for my totals for Saturday. On Wednesday I work. I didn't box here. Thursday. I do have a little bit of work. This is my spread for the 10th through the 16th. How cute is that? I cannot forget to do. Let me zoom out just a little bit. I am very very pleased with that. It came out so cute. I'm trying to get better with color because I'll stick to pink, yellow, black, and green. So I like this. I hope you guys do as well.

There are many great benefits to taking an online TEFL certification course and one of the most popular is the fact that it can be taken from absolutely any location around the world. As long as you have access to an internet connection and a device to run it on, you are in business. As all of the written course materials and instruction videos can be downloaded for offline use, you do not even need to have continual internet access to successfully complete the training. Similarly, while some people have access to a powerful personal computer, this is not a necessity. As our online courses can be just as easily taken using a laptop, tablet, or smartphone. How and when you choose to study is also in your own hands. To allow for maximum flexibility, you get to set your own study hours as there are no formal lessons or times when you have to be online. This is also important when you consider that our dreams are spread all over the world in every different time zone.


Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel today. I'm going to be talking about BSPWM Now this is going to be one of those videos where I don't know what the hell I'm doing But I hope that somewhere along the line both you and I learn something What I want my goal for today is to install BSPWM from scratch on an arch based system This is our code Linux is what I'm gonna be doing it on but it should work on arch or any of the arch distros and go through a minimal setup where I get a bar and set a wallpaper and that kind of stuff now Whether or not I'll be successful at all on any of this stuff as per usual. I don't know I'm not above admitting that I'm Winging it and I am winging I've done a little bit of research and I think I can do this fairly easily What the outcome will be we're gonna find out so let's go ahead and jump in Okay, so Right now I'm in DWM, which is my main daily driver thing Question whether or not I want to build this from scratch or if I want to go through and install it from the arch Repositories is a pretty easy question because I think I'm just gonna install from the arch repositories and see what happens The building of it I'm not sure how it would work because I'm not sure The instructions for BSPWM and actually installing it are Non-existent. I think there's actually an install.md file here somewhere Maybe I'm wrong If you're using arch clinics install BSPWM dash get from the AUR or the latest version or BSPWM for the stable version I have a 6hkd install already Oh, it does actually have full on from scratch Hmm, okay I don't need sxhkd Hmm Well, you want to let's build this thing from scratch. Shall we? why not let's uh Go to a different Tag here open up a terminal zoom in so we can see oh, I forgot I'm on this st There we go. Now we can zoom in clear all right So what it said to do? Was gets get our dependencies here. I don't know I'll need actually need these but we're gonna try to install them anyways all right And then I once again can't type my own password. Uh, looks like they're all here good We can clear out that so we don't need those oops wrong one You've seen it assity the horror. Okay, so we need to um Just this first one here now I'm gonna try to do this in my get things repos my get things repos our city downloads get things get clone All right cd bs pwm All right, so there's some stuff here. Well, let's see if we can We should be able to just suit it We just do make and then pseudo make install it should work, right? We're gonna find out so make Okay, that seemed to have made just fine. So pseudo make install And that did just fine as well. Okay now Let's go ahead and cd I'll tell home directory and then I'm gonna cd into slash user us usr slash share slash x sessions Now according to this make thing it actually made The bs pwm desktop, which is awesome. Oops. Let's see here. It did not Where did it put it? You put it in local slash share the x sessions So I'm gonna actually do is copy this into the right folder. So what I'm gonna do is do cp pseudo cp That I don't know why I need dash p, but I'm not gonna do s p. I don't think I need to do that So slash Let's see. I think it's gonna be till the slash downloads Get things Bsp. Bsp wm Contrib Free desktop Bsp wm desktop and then We're gonna copy that into bsp wm desktop Okay, so now if we do an ls It should be a bsp wm desktop and let me look actually look and make sure that that's the thing that I need So we're gonna vim into bsp wm desktop Yeah, that should work All right, so this is where I'm going to pause the video log out and see if we log back in and see if it works um Hopefully actually before I do that I'm gonna cd into dot config and see if there's a bsp wm thing here There's not Wonder where put the bsp wm configuration files by default Maybe it's in the home directory. Uh, nope All right, so we're gonna before we do that because I want to know where the bsp wm configuration files are So let's go back here to this Oh, here we go We want to make sure that we have So if we cd into dot config again I'm doing ls and What I'm going to do is make directory bsp wm cd bsp wm and make directory sx hkd Okay, so we do an ls. Yeah, and we do cd dot dot just to get back into the configuration folder And what we want to do here is this one here You can copy that Okay, and then we want to do oops This one Here only we're going to need to change that the location so Do you want to make that bsp wm slash sx hkd? Okay and That's done there and then it says we need to change the ownership. So We need to cd into bsp wm ls So ch own. I think that's what it said, right? Uh ch mod u plus x. So we need to make it executable. That's because it's a bash script. I knew that mod u plus x bsp wm rc Okay Why am I only doing it for the user? Well, I'm wondering if that's going to work or not, but we're going to find out. All right, so now I'm going to go through and Restart or log out of dwm and try to get back into bsp wm and see if it works now if it works There shouldn't be a wallpaper and there shouldn't be a bar But we'll see so I'm gonna pause here and I'll come back in just a second. Okay, so You'll notice that I have a wallpaper. So I've actually been messing around with this now for about 20 minutes. I had to do it off camera. Well, I didn't do it off camera I actually did it on camera. And then I mistyped something in the bsp wm rc file and that crashes Bsp wm and I lost the files. So it was a whole mess I'm having a good day So let me walk you through what I've done so far So first thing I've done is I've cd'd into this file here and then I changed The bsp them bsp wm rc file to Look for the sx hkd configuration file in the place where I've put it So I've put it in slash bsp wm slash s sx hkd slash sx hkd rc that is um So that I can have multiple sx hkd rc files on my system and point each window manager to a specific file that way It's kind of cleaner. I think it's cleaner anyways instead of having one gigantic file for all of them um On camera, I also did nitrogen dash dash restore and that basically just sets my wallpaper I wish I had been able to record all this stuff for you. But again That's just the way things work sometimes just Remember check your spelling before you hit save and hit the restart now I've also gone through and Vimmed into the ss sx hkd rc file and made some changes here So what I've done in this Is I've changed the Terminal to termite I've changed this key binding to super plus d to get d money by default. It's super space That's really weird. I've also gone through and changed Those closed command here to super q by default. It's super shift w which is really odd So I should be able to hit super q and this was close. So those are the only two the only things I've changed so far. So At this point you have a working BSP wm thing uh window manager it's working but We need a bar of some kind now whether this is going to be you could use poly bar. You could use bumblebee status probably Actually, sure how you'd use bumblebee status because that that kind of relies on the whole syntax for i3 um I'm going to try out lemon bar. So We'll see if I can get that website back up Okay, so I did manage to find it again. So I believe unfortunately this again, we might have to look at the wiki and see if they have a Way to install it here. So it has um Keep in mind that lemon bar formerly known as bar is a lightweight bar entirely based on xcb. Therefore you may have to install some libraries Uh, I think I've already got both of those So we're going to go ahead and open up terminal here zoom in so you can see cd and to our get folder Get things And we're going to get clone this Okay And we're going to cd into bar Because it used to be called bar and then we're going to do make pseudo make install Enter our password. Hopefully correctly the first time I did and it made just fine. Okay, so we can close that Now we need to actually know how to use it. So how do we put it in? So what if we went through let's see here, what's the Apparently, I didn't have a one here. So we just cd into bs.config bspwm And then them into our bsp. We do I'm in a hard time talking bspwm rc And what we want to do here is do lemon bar and I think Before I close that I'm going to go find out and make sure I was right um lemon bar options The question is really going to be So this puts at the bottom for stocking without asking the window manager Place a font. So this is going to be fairly similar to Bumblebee status in that it's all configured within the startup script Okay, so We're going to see if this works. This should just give us a regular bar And so to restart bspwm super alt r Okay, I have no bar So I wonder if I just do this lemon bar It says it started but I don't see a bar. Does anybody else see a bar? No So there has to be some other Some other information we have to pass to that Um, so let's see here. I wish I'd give you like an uh They really want you to put the options in brackets I'm going to try I don't think that that's the way it works though All right, let's let's go through this width by the height so width by height so set the window geometry if the parameter is omitted is filled by the default value The y parameter is specified along with the the dash b switch Then the position is relative to the to the bottom of the screen. So this is very weird Uh Because by default you don't actually get anything I wish they had would have Some examples. I would love to see some examples of somebody else's You using lemon bar Let's go find out if we can find somebody else's examples when in doubt. Oh, the arch wiki has installation We'll zoom in here so people can see Let's see here Installation which we've installed configuration of lemon bar is now completely done via screen rc If Like format strings and comment line options as opposed to older versions where configuration took place in At compile time see the man page for short overview of those configuration options. So Lemon bar prints no information on its own to get any text into lemon bar. You have to pipe text into it If you want the text to update through a script, you need to add the dash p option This prevents lemon bar from exiting after s t d i n is closed So this is kind of like exit route Kinda It doesn't show how to run it. Can you just? Oh, it's gonna be here Arch wiki you're failing me I don't know what screen rc means I think it just means that it's passed through the command line With options. Yeah All right, somebody somebody will have lemon buddy It aims to help users Amos to help users build beautiful highly customized little stats bar on their desktop environment Getting started So this is just completely something completely different. Okay Well, this is definitely what we should be doing right now looking at these lemon bars. Oh, those look good I have to go make those now Probably more successful than Those still look good. Yeah. All right um I think This one here will help those guys actually went through and written something and this is what I was missing So, um What I think I can do now is look at these options and see how to do like write align stuff um So this so backslash aligns the following text to the left side of the screen What should we give it? I wish we would give an example This documentation is kind of trash because first of all All these are italics. That means that's like an l not a slash Their only example is this up here And that's not even a that's not an example Um, so we're gonna have to We're gonna have to play around with it. So if we do have Echo hello world Pipe into lemon bar dash p We actually do get a bar up here at the top. So winning So if I wanted that to be on the right side I wonder It's a we'll see at home and do What did it say capital r No, it said Small r Lemon bar provides a screen rc inspired formatting syntax to allow full customization at runtime Every formatting block is optioned with percent It's curly brackets enclosed by curly brackets and accept the following commands the parser tries its best to handle malformed input use Okay, so that's kind of like uh That's all status. So that's easy enough Let's look down here. It says, um, there was like a percent So like the the letter goes in in the curly brackets That doesn't make any sense, but we're gonna try out all right, so if we do percent curly bracket r There's no way that that's true Yeah, I didn't think that that would so the r has to go outside of it has to That didn't work either Okay, so maybe r percent r percent sign Nope still don't work Uh Really weird. Okay, so go back and look at this again This is scintillating television. I'm sure Uh percent curly bracket So it's through the r part And just do percent curly bracket. Let's just see what that works.  It's all I'm asking I'm about this close to saying screw it and using poly bar Because I know poly bar works Huh Someone has to have an example other than this guy. This guy doesn't actually have a Uh, let's see here Column bar auto start Etc Okay, so this just does a What is the citrus that sh look like does he have a? No Okay, well true echo percent Bracken mark c percent So this is like calling a color While that syntax is not Not great Okay, so we're gonna have to write a script in order to do this. So let's go back to four five No bar is messing around with my I I don't know what workspace. I'm on I'm freaking out. Okay, so we're gonna go into, um We're just gonna touch stripped The spwm stripped actually we just call it bar script script dot sh ch mod plus a plus x bar script s h Okay, then bar script s h zoom in a little bit Okay, so we need we need our shebang. So we need insert mode Dollars pound sign exclamation point slash bin slash sh okay Now How was he doing this here? He's made This is way more work than I was expecting it to be This is definitely not as good as bumblebee A bar ended up using ended up being See the problem is I already have scripts that I want to use I don't want to have to rewrite them in one single script All right lemon bar is proving to be More work than I what I want to put into it. So Here's what I'm going to do we're gonna Use poly bar. That's what we're gonna do is we're gonna use poly bar uh So let's see here We'll quit this out. We don't need that we can delete this And what we'll need to do is My poly bar config You need to Uh, let's see here github com slash mtbv 47 mt wv 47 and config Uh, it's not on the front page anymore it's uh Did I delete it? Oh dot file is done done. Here we go right here So we need to copy and paste this is going to take actually forever because this is a big file CD downloads Get things get oops Get clone. Yeah, this is going to take a bit Okay, that finally did the thing it needed to do dot files lscd.config bspwm Poly bar maybe Yeah, it has it's on poly bar there let's Do an ls here. So first we'll vim into this bspwm rc And what we want to do is Now this One here on the right started out as an arco linux bspwm rc file So what I want to actually do here Is change is cut while I'm here. I might as well. Let's go ahead and get the monitors up and running So delete this And do insert bspc monitor This Playport dash one dash d oops dash one D One two three four five Okay, and make sure actually spell that wrong bsp bspc okay bspc monitor hdmi dash a dash one dash d six seven eight nine Ten oops.  That should work. All right. Good. Good. Good. All right Now I need to do Find out where the auto start things are I think should be up at the top Yes cd vim in the auto start file And I'm actually going to do this right from here. So I'm going to do um dollar sign home slash dot config Slash bspwm Make sure I can type poly bar Slash launch dot sh Okay, we'll save that now. We need to get out of this here and I'm gonna let us make sure I'm in the right place. So I need to cp dash r Slash Kill the slash dot config bspwm. Okay This is destination folder.   Now we can close this and do super mod So mod alt r And we have a poly bar up there, but it's not that is Very weird Uh, why would I do that? Why is it? I'm so confused because I don't I don't know if you know if you can see this. There's like a there is a poly bar up there You can actually click on stuff. It's just not showing it That's really weird Okay, let's um cd into cd.config poly bar Oops, um bspwm poly bar ls Vim config Okay Bspwm is showing up on both monitors With a hundred percent height 22 I'm wondering if it has you want to I know exactly what this is. I don't have whatever font I'm using here I don't have it installed I have no I have nerd fonts installed though pseudo Hackman dash s tt f font awesome I know this is already installed Yeah, it's already installed. So font awesome is there nerd fonts are already installed. So it can't be the font Okay, well Bag of trouble shooting Let me get rid of this poly bar appearing mostly Off string no No, that's not right poly bar Not fully Visible my poly bar is often completely invisible as seen here Yes, that's exactly what mine is doing This is from 2017. So we know it's probably been fixed. So I've used piet poly bar since then It does look like it's a font problem This is going to be the dumbest video I've ever posted I told you at the beginning I warned you at the beginning that I had no clue what I'm doing So This is just me along for the ride. This is actually would have been a really good livestream um All right, you want to want fine We'll find the default arco install So So we can close this we got we know it's working. Oops. Damn close the wrong one. It doesn't matter the cd slash um CD slash etsy No Okay cd dot dot Dash that up we're going to the we're going to root and what we're going to do is we're going to do locate poly bar Okay, so what I'm looking for is the default arco linux one That's what we're going to look for Oh, it's in scale. I always I I should know that it's in scale. All right, so CD slash Etsy scale ls Okay, cd.com fig less So here's here's poly bar right here somewhere Yeah, right. So what we're going to do is say screw this and say cp pseudo cp. I actually shouldn't need pseudo cp dash r poly bar till the slash Dot config vs pwm And then yes Yes, yes, doll Okay, so that did some things like you can see a little bit more of it now um I'm gonna try restarting bspwm No, that's uh, that's weird All right, I've had enough of this Um, hold on a second We're not doing with this. Yes. Okay. That's still that work, but it was worth a try Why I If anybody knows why this is happening Let me know because the icons are appearing. You can see them.  So give me a second. You're starting worked Okay, why it worked. I don't know But it definitely worked. So Yeah I have a bar And I have a wallpaper and I have bspwm installed So I would say today was overall a successful day at times frustrating and definitely This was the longest video in the history of videos not not really, but I mean Definitely history of my videos I'll probably edit out some of the silences, but whatever So I like bspwm. I'm gonna play around with it for a little while just to give me some Changes in terms of window managers because I like hopping every once in a while And it's easy to hop window managers then hop distro because you can have them both installed at the same time It's kind of awesome I hope you I hope you enjoyed this because this was definitely frustrating for me So I hope it was less I hope that you've taken something from this video in terms of you know, what to do and what not to do And if you even got one thing from it, I truly appreciate in Everything so please follow us on twitter twitter.com slash linux cast You can also follow us on facebook at facebook.com slash the linux cast I don't actually use those accounts all that much Twitter more than facebook. I don't I have the I don't think I've been to the facebook page in ages So whatever I'll probably stop even trying to use facebook You can also support us on patreon at patreon.com slash linux cast Starting in mid-march would be doing all of our videos a day early for tier two and tier three patrons Yeah, and speaking of patrons.
