Okay, if you remember, I'm sure you do, because you're all right, we were looking at the design of prismatic beams, where we were specifically now choosing a particular beam for its characteristics, not just the usual stuff we've done in the past where we might say, well, maybe a B of a rectangular process should be such and such, but actually picking a commercially available beam of some kind. So we'll review that with a problem here and then we're gonna take a step beyond it. So we've got a 16 foot beam here with a slight overhang and some kind of uniform blow, 1300 pounds per foot.  And you're given two things that the allowable normal stress is 24 KSI, so by that, I guess it implies that the material has already been chosen, the beam itself has not, so you're gonna have to specify a particular beam that will satisfy these two constraints. So I'm also gonna put on an allowable shear stress. So by means of those two, I'm gonna move them over here because as you can remember, what we need is the location of, not the location, the maximum moment to look at the normal stress and the maximum shear to look at the allowable shear stress. So both of those, some students do very well without a, so they should actually go fairly quick to form a load like this or just a single point load. Those shear diagrams at least tend to go fairly quick. If there are any actions, then you can almost draw the shear diagram in a few seconds. And then once you see that, you should be able to pick out at least the points of concern, the maximum moment for what we're looking for is a normal stress when you do a certain, what we call the section modulus. For the supports, maybe check with each other just to make sure you got those right before moving on. I know all the moments should be able to come up with these. You can plot two points, of course, to start a slope in between realizing there's gonna be a big jump in the reaction there. So remember, slope's 1.3 kip. So just to put it to scale, it's gonna look something like this, and then remember these two lines fairly quickly, basically that. And then you can use those two slopes to figure out what's going on with the moment. You don't need to actually calculate the moment. Just look at it a little bit to figure out what's going on, that's not Fj. You know what, start zero moment. Do you not? Because there's nothing at those ends to withstand any moment. You know the moment will be zero, that the slope of the moment will be zero along that line. It darts out pretty steeply, drops to zero. The slope is gonna be something like that. Then it continues from zero down to some big maximum. Maximum slope, it's like it might do something like that. And then it jumps instantly up very steeply and drops to zero again, which would be something like that. And so you've got two spots to check for the maximum because you're just not sure what your scale is here. You've got to check that spot and you've got to check that spot, which is pretty easy to do because you can just do it from either end. Shape, you're just not sure of the scale. Column those makes sense, now you see them? Just take the left end, go back to the support. Reaction here, 16,000, 16 kip, there you know that. There must be then some moment back like that. We do expect negative here, I'm not sure what we are. It would be positive, 23, 4 is what I got. The moment at this point here, kip, t, it's a moment. So you can protect with a maximum section modulus the allowable shear stress. You will now that you know the maximum moment and you know the allowable shear stress of a minimum section modulus is the maximum moment we now know over the allowable normal stress. It'll be the only 6.7 over here. By the flange, I mean these things, they come in, the tables come in two sets, an SI set and an English unit set. Make sure you're on the right one. Five beams, you're not going to get that, it just divides straight away there. So you have to check that, the very end of the class on Friday. As soon as you do that, have to check to make sure the weight of the beam you choose doesn't put you in trouble here. Once you get a beam that exceeds this S, then you want to look for a beam that has the lightest, linear weight. Other factors that are maybe size limits or something, but we're not actually designing buildings we're just working towards it. You have a beam in front of you, just above the S you've got there on the calculation. A couple percent above, 20 percent above maybe. Bobby, any look better yet? I don't know. God, that's a great one to be in, isn't it? It's huge. And to have a special on this week, we've got a 16 flitters over here in just a few minutes. Girls standing by, operators are standing by. I think most everybody, Colin, you got a beam? Got a couple good for a couple others to see if you can come up with a lighter second number. Most of us are zero and I'm a 12, 14, right? With a linear weight of 14 pounds per foot, but our load is 1,300 pounds per foot. So it's unlikely that's gonna be a big concern for increased normal stress. So then what about this year? There's a couple others, but they all have bigger numbers here at the second part. For the 14, there's a couple of 15s that look good. What then do you do about this year's stress? Just to get that, they didn't actually do the calculation off on your weekend by then. This stuff happened Friday classes for a while for people's Saturday weekend, Wednesday noon. Okay, then you gotta check the shear stress to make sure we're not over that allowable limit. We know where the maximum shear is or what it is. We're not so much concerned with where. We're concerned with what. We use here, Pat, remember that? Are you on that part yet? No, why not? Who's the flanges? Flanges carry almost no shear. Remember, the shear is a maximum in the center of the tapers to, well, tapers to nothing in the end. So, conservatively, we take the flanges out of that, just use the area of the web, which is right there in the table. There's the web thickness, T w. I d minus twice the flange thickness. So that went all the way back to a new S value, because it was, I forget, what was it? 1240. S on the 1240 was, or 1214. What came from that? Yeah, you've got a pretty good margin there. That's almost 30%. Well, the last one is 13.7. 13.7. Is it? Okay. 13.7. With just the 14 pounds per foot? Yeah. Had it on? It's only 1%. I can even draw that. 224 pounds. Do I have to do it in the end? Good. What did you say? How quickly do you want to be down to the principal's office? My goodness. The microphone didn't pick that up. Never, in my face of truth, never even going up against Bob's hard enough, but now you just made it work. Because that number you have there is this jump. Right? But that's the maximum shear we have to worry about. And to protect against the 8.8 per square inch, so if we have the area in square inches, we're okay. Something like what, 3.5 is the expected shear stress. 3.85. Yes. 3.8, okay, that's what I, that's 3.8. So it's okay, I'm sure it's the maximum expected shear is this point right here. Just just before the last support, and then provided by the area of the web. If you're doing a real quick calculation, you can just do a TW times D. But this is a little more conservative because we get less area, greater expected shear stress. And we want to make sure that we're under the allowable, which we are by quite a bit. Bob, that okay now? Are we using the D-share example? Yes. As long as the units are okay, which it is. They're in inches, right? Yeah. Everything's in inches, so we get kips per square inch, KSI, which is what our allowable stress is in so we can compare them. All right? Okay? You walk in this building, you send your loved ones out, your little brother will pay because it's a stolen truck. That little brother, you're not in the truck. Did you have a truck? Toy truck? Maybe that explains you think you don't have any toy trucks. All right, any questions before we go into the next phase of this beam design? Okay, here's the next thing we've done. These have all been prismatic beams. Do you remember the definition of prismatic beams? Same material throughout, though we can handle if they're not with our non-similar material techniques we were using a month or two ago. What else is part of the definition of prismatic beams? There's three parts to it. We've got ones, all the same material throughout. Isotropic, same material throughout. Something to do with the y-axis. What was that? Y-axis symmetry. Symmetry about the y-axis. This part may not have been as obvious because it's always been the case. So it just really may not even come up. What's the cross-section all the way down the length of the beam? It's certainly to our advantage to at least consider now if that's something that's important. The most obvious example that you've seen is imagine you have bookshelf. You've all seen those type of bookshelves where you put a track against the wall and then you clip the bracket into that track and then you put the shelf on those brackets and then you lay the book just along the bookshelf. What do those brackets look like? They're not uniform cross-section beams. And they are beams. They're loaded beams just like any other beam we've been looking at in this class. What do they look like? Aren't they much more? With this kind of load, there's a lot of moment back here so you need a lot of material. But as you go farther out on the shelf away from the wall, the moment decreases so decrease the material too. There's not as much to carry. In fact, as you get to the end of the bracket, there's no moment there. Might as well have no material and that's where the bracket ends. So the brackets are essentially long-gated triangles. They might have a little more shape to them. The type of you've probably seen are the ones that have a little hook like that. That helps hold the shelf in so it doesn't slip off. And then there's a little bit of design to them like that. But these, and even though it was to some degree, are very easy to make. They're made out of a constant thickness plate and they're just stamped out. And it's really economical to stamp two out of those out of a little section. All you have to do is have those hooks that go into the track. Usually looks something like that. And then you get two out of a single piece and you're not wasting any material by selectively designing the cross-section to best meet the load at those points. So we're gonna take another problem, very, very straightforward one. We'll keep this one kind of simple so we're not bogged down into details. Let's start with a very simply supported beam and very simply loaded.  Not as simple as we can get. In fact, I think we started the first week with just that type of thing. Now here's the deal. Imagine that we've already got beams in stock. We don't wanna order new ones if we can use up these ones.  Earl gave us a big special. I took a chance. I bought them all. Now we've gotta see if they can do the job for us. So here's the beam. Oh, I gotta make sure. I can't remember if this beam's in the book. If not, I'll just give you the numbers. Yeah, this beam, our book doesn't go quite up to what this beam is. So we've got a couple W690. By 125 beams in stock. Now don't bother looking it up. I'll have to give you those numbers. The cross sectional area is 16,000 square millimeters. Section modulus is 3510 times 10 to the third. Here's cubed. And the moment of inertia. Let's see what the expected moment is. Oh, by the way, the allowable normal stress is 160. Let's see what the shear is real quick. Shear diagram, because from that, we can almost instantly pick up the moment diagram. Obviously with a nice symmetric loading like this, single point loading will have 250 kilonewtons. And then since the load curve is zero, then the slope of the shear curve is zero down to minus 250. So real easy to come up with the shear diagram, which makes it then real easy to come up with the moment diagram. And I want to pay attention this time to where the maximum moment occurs. Let's see, the area of that 250 times four meters constant slope. So we know the moment diagram and that this maximum moment is 1,000 kilonewtons of meters. And it happens at the center. Make sure it's okay. We've got about 10,000 moments stock. They're down by the stocking fields. We've got the allowable normal stress. This beam is already in stock. So the section modulus is already chosen. And you know what the maximum moment is. What do you get for the stress limit for that beam? 285, it comes out to be 285. 1250 times 10 to the third. So the S we need is much greater than what we have. That's right. So why doesn't then this come out to be, are you sure your units are okay? Easiest one to do is change the meters to millimeters. Yeah, we've got megapascals times 10 to the third. And that will be, because this battle give us the, that will give us the millimeter squared on the bottom, which we don't want. 1,000 per meter cube per square meter, which is a kilopascal. Now we make it a megapascal. So what's that come out to? Times 1,000 squared, what, a billion? Well, as long as it matches, as long as it's megapascals. Why, I just need the actual problem. Dude, you checked yours and your S is still coming out low, but this is coming out, okay. So where's the problem? Who's up the whole problem? All the units, right? So you said you'd give me 508. Huh? Yeah, it's not. Okay, I'm sorry. We had what we wanted.  And so I was paying attention to the details and missing the ideas here. Yes, so that's too big for this, so it's gonna fail. However, so what it turns out is that this beam is okay for part of this load. Somewhere, maybe in here, the beam's okay for the ends, but not okay for the middle. So what we can do, our I-beam felt bad about this. So what Earl's done is made available some steel plate that we can weld on just for this center part portion against that so we can use the beams we've got, bolster them up a little bit where we're worried about them and come up with a beam that has enough of a section modulus because this will increase the section modulus by quite a bit, a lot of area away from the neutral axis. And then we can do, we can increase that significantly. So here's what I'll do for you. I know most of you are a little disappointed about that test score. So do this as an extra credit problem for Friday. Just throw 10 points on the test. Up to 10 points. So what you need to come up with is two things. How long should these plates be? How wide? Our 16 millimeter plates, 16 millimeter plates deal. So if you're watching the video, you weren't here, deal's not opening. Once we add those plates, that will increase the protection. Still a little bit more than we need, ideal would be if we had plates that actually tapered at the edges. But that's too much work. We just want to throw in some steel plates there, weld them on, you need the length and this width of the plate. The length you can determine just from this diagram. Where is it that the beam no longer can support the load that's increasing as you go towards the center of the beam? The moment's increasing from the ends, the beam's okay for a while, but then sooner or later it's not good enough. So you need to find that point, that'll give you L. And then you need to find B such that the section modulus increases to this new value here. But this was insufficient for this. So we're going to increase the section modulus until now it's enough to withstand that load. And that will determine B because that will be part of the section modulus over C. So C is increased, but I is going to increase by a lot more. Is that a deal? A little outside of the test, but I know you wanted some help here and this isn't that far removed from it anyway. Yeah, Freddie? You look nice, you have plenty of time to do it. On.


From Austin, Texas, it's theCUBE, covering Pure Storage Accelerate 2019, brought to you by Pure Storage. Welcome to Austin, Texas. I'm Lisa Martin. At Pure Accelerate 2019, this is the fourth Pure Accelerate. I'm here with my co-host, Dave Vellante. And Dave and I are pleased to be welcoming back to theCUBE the Chairman and CEO of Pure Storage, Charlie Giancarlo. Charlie, welcome back to theCUBE. Thank you, it's such a pleasure to be here. Already getting loud and the keynote just wrapped up. It really is, yeah. There's about 3,000 folks here. Correct. Standing room only, we just came from the keynote. Something symbolic besides the location of this event is that you are just about to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Pure Storage. Of our founding, October 1st. Yes, just around the corner, tremendous innovation, as you say, in overnight success in 10 years, delivering 10X improvements. Give us a little bit of a preview about what you shared in the keynote. What's to come in the next 10 years? Exactly right. You know, it's wonderful to be able to celebrate a birthday and be able to talk about what you've delivered over the first 10 years. But it also gave us the opportunity to really say, okay, what's the second decade going to be about? What is it going to be like? And when we were planning, not only for this, but for the year that we were going to put in place of development, we said, well, we brought a lot of things to storage and to the storage array. We made it much simpler. We made it upgradable non-disruptively, meaning that customers would have a continuously new product in their environment. And we started to bring it into the cloud. And we said, you know, for our second decade, we want to transform the entire storage experience. We don't want it to be about boxes and arrays. We want it to be about a storage system for the entire enterprise. That's multi-protocol, multi-cloud, multi-tiering, or what we call storage classes. And entirely automated so that when an application calls for storage services, it's delivered automatically without humans getting involved. That it is completely as a service, consumed as a service, delivered as a service, entirely automated in the back end. So this is the goal that we have for our second decade. We think we're going to deliver it over the next several years. But of course, for us to go down the entire customer journey is a great mission for us for next decade. So in terms of, you know, I don't want to make it sound like the first decade was easy because you're really the only all-flash array company to reach escape velocity. And there were many.  I feel like the main job of the CEO is TAM expansion. And you're focused on that. There's AI, there's new workloads, there's the cloud, there's multi-cloud. And you're entering new territory now. Yes. Maybe, you know, guys like AWS, they're not flat-footed, right? You're up against Google and Cisco and Microsoft and in the multi-cloud arena.  I wonder if you could talk about your vision in terms of TAM expansion. Well, thank you very much for that question. The TAM expansion really is following where solid state takes us. You know, we've gone from a world that was where, believe it or not, most computers still had mechanical systems operating them. Sort of like having a mechanical calculator rather than an electronic calculator, right? We had mechanical disks in our computers, literally spinning rust, right? And it's only been in the last decade where a semiconductor, you know, where solid state has taken the place of that called flash, right? Well, as that continues to get less expensive, we now can bring not only flash performance into disk economics, but more importantly, now we can finally have modern software that is driving the need for having greater flexibility with our data. As data grows, it now, we say it has gravity. That is, it gets heavy. It gets hard to manage, hard to move between different environments. And now a lot of infrastructure operators are spending much more time managing their data, managing the storage systems for their data than they are managing anything else in the data center environment. We want to eliminate all that. We want to automate all of that. You know, on the theme of decades, two decades ago, every application had its own individual communication stack. There were dozens of different protocols and a dozen different networks in every company. One decade ago, every application had its own custom hardware stack and custom operating system stack. Well, today, there's one network. It's called the internet. Today, every application, every server is virtualized, allowing mobility, and yet storage is still static. We want this decade to be about making storage and data dynamic and really responsive to the needs of the application environment. So I wonder if you could compare this opportunity to some other mega trends that you've been part of. You were there in the early days of wireless when nobody wanted to buy wireless. You saw the IP change up. People think the mini computer was killed by the microprocessor in a part it was, but it was IP. It was IP. It destroyed the mini computer. Everybody had their own networks. Where do you put the trend that you're after? How do you compare, and what are your expectations? I think it's an analogous trend, and it's this long-term trend of vertical, whether it's vertical industries or vertical technologies, going to be coming horizontal. So let's just give a couple of examples. Again, networking was tightly tied to the application, and every application had its own network and its own set of protocols, right? That was vertically tied. Now networking is horizontal. It's all IP, right? Again, we'll go back to applications. Applications had a vertical stack. The entire stack hardware and software was tied to the specific application. Today that's been made virtualized and therefore horizontal. You can move applications among different servers. Storage is still vertical. It's still tied very tightly to the rack, and there are a lot of good reasons for that. You needed a high-speed interface. High-speed networking didn't exist. Discs were slow. They could only support one application at a time. With solid state, that no longer exists. So now we can make storage free. We can make it a horizontal layer rather than tightly tied to any individual application, and that's what the next decade's going to be about. Your business leaders today, I feel, are so much more open than when we started in this industry where the famous line about Ken Olson, Unix, Snake Oil, those of you old enough to remember that. Business leaders today, they recognize the trend as your friend. So a gentleman from AWS said 88% of the customers in a Gartner survey said they're cloud first, but 86% are still spending on-prem. In the old days, you might have said, oh, keep it on-prem. And Amazon said, well, keep it in the cloud. And yet, customers are sort of forcing you to come together. I wonder if you could talk about that dynamic and specifically your cloud strategy. Absolutely. So our cloud strategy is really quite simple. We want to make the cloud and every cloud appear to an application developer to be the same as it is on-prem. With all the advanced services, the advanced applications interfaces, the same APIs. Because largely applications have been, especially primary tier applications, have been developed with on-prem interfaces and on-prem services. The cloud, while wonderful from the standpoint of being able to be dynamic, does not have sophisticated services for data. And so by making it appear to be the same to the application and to the developer on-prem as in the cloud, it just makes the entire system more dynamic. It allows for companies to more easily move applications to the cloud or to another cloud or back on-prem. And it changes the dynamic and the decision-making of enterprises not to how much work do we have to do to move something to the cloud, but where is it best placed economically and based on services? We take it out of being a technology decision and make it more of an economic decision. Why are you in a unique position relative to your competition? I mean, why can't Dell EMC or NetApp or IBM sort of take that same API economy mentality and drive it through their portfolio and get to market fast and why is pure unique? Well, for one, it takes investment. We'll invest 18% of revenue in R&D this year. Nearly all of our competitors are spending less than 5%. They're really viewing storage as an old antiquated market, not as a high-tech market. They're reaping, if you will, rather than selling. And we really view storage as an extra frontier of great innovation and our competitors largely don't see that. Let's talk about a little bit digging into the evolution of your Amazon web services relationship. We talked about that a minute ago. When you guys talked about, and now it's cloud block store, there's dozens of customers in beta. Are they viewing it as this bridge to hybrid cloud and what are some of the benefits if you can talk about it from any of those customers that are in beta? What are you starting to see so far that's really exciting that this is the delivering or will be the modern data experience? You know, we had a great speaker from AWS on stage today. And I think he summed it up really well at the end of his talk. Excuse me. He said that now the migration to cloud is easy because Pure has done all the heavy lifting for you to take your enterprise applications and move them into the cloud. I mean, I think all the cloud players recognize that while they have provided some great capabilities, especially for DevOps, that the level of sophistication and the completion of services for things like very complex enterprise apps have not been fully accomplished yet. And so they recognize that experts like Pure, who have been delivering against enterprise primary tier applications for a long time have a lot to add in terms of the sophistication of our product in their environment. I think what they also recognize is that it's hard for customers to rewrite their applications to a completely different set of data APIs. And mind you, not only does, for example, AWS have different APIs in their cloud than customers have on-prem, but Azure has different APIs than Amazon. Google has yet different. And so for a customer to write their application three or four times is really beyond what is in the interest of most customers. We have taken all that heavy lifting and enabled a customer to take their application that they've already written, whether on cloud or on-prem, and to move it in those other environments with much less investment. And let me try to explain, as I understand it, and make sure I got it right, is essentially what you've done is take the Pure software stack and management framework and then using AWS services, DC2, high priority EC2s, front-ended on S3, cheap S3, created block storage that's higher availability, probably faster writes. Or reads, and writes are probably comparable. With the Pure experience. That's right. And maybe you got to pay a little bit more for that, but you get better availability and there's value there. Actually the beautiful thing is that we create an environment in AWS where it's faster, that is the storage is faster, that it has a very higher reliability, has all of the services that customers want to have, such as snapshots, replication, and encryption. And the entire bill between what they pay for Pure and what they pay for AWS is no more than what they would pay for AWS on its own for those storage services. Yeah, because you're using cheaper S3. So me, this is brilliant. AWS is happy because they're selling EC2 and S3. You're happy because you're making money on your software stack and the customer's happy because they get the Pure experience in the cloud. It's actually quite innovative. Yeah, it's almost matching. I want to quickly talk about NAND pricing. I know that was an issue this quarter. It hurt revenues a little bit and the stock dropped, but then when you saw everybody else announced the stock went back up because Pure was 28% growth to everybody else is minus 16, minus 21. Zero was the best. But to me, lower NAND pricing is an opportunity for you. It's a tailwind to go eat into more of the spending disc market. Do you see it that way? No, absolutely, right? I mean, when it all hits in one quarter, it can be a challenge. But over time, the consistent and fast decrease in NAND pricing simply means that we will eventually get the solid state for all storage. I have no doubt about that. The days of disc are certainly numbered. And what that does is open up the entire storage market. Today, disc is only by terabytes, 15% of the storage market. Flash is only 15%. So it eventually, we have 85% of the storage market still to go after. And we believe that one day that'll be all solid state. I want to ask you about the macro because you guys said on your call, you're really not concerned about the macro. You don't win on pricing. You don't lose on pricing. That even at a downturn, you guys feel like you can gain share. And I would agree with that, by the way. Of course, we don't want a downturn. Better if we don't have a downturn. But what are your thoughts on your ability to compete independent of the macro? Right. So, you know, we have, from day one, obviously we had no sales when we got started, right? So every sale we've made has always been a competitive sale. There was always someone that we had to displace, right? Some incumbent. And that speaks to the type and the quality of the sales and marketing team that we have, right? Not only are they aggressive, but, you know, in the parlance of the industry, they're hunters. I think a lot of companies, once you become more mature, you develop more farmers in your sales force, right? Managing the customer account, managing the installed base and so forth. And when the macro is flat or down, you suffer, you know, from, you suffer overall from that because you haven't been used to expanding your footprint. In our case, I think even when the macro's down, not that we won't be hurt by it, we will, but because we have a team of hunters, we continue to gain market share overall. Well, you change, it's hard to predict, right? But Frank Slutman once told me, hey, if things change, I can turn this on and we can become an ATM when he was running the service now. Right now you're going for growth. In the street, rewards growth. You got a three plus X revenue multiple. Everybody else is lucky to get one X. So they're rewarding you for growth. Do you feel like, if things change, that you might turn those knobs a little bit? Or is it, you know? So I don't expect things to change for quite some time, but we produce 70% gross margin in the last quarter, right? I mean, most of our competitors are in the 50s, right? If not the 40s. So clearly, growth costs money in this business, right? You have to build your sales force before they start producing for you. You have to invest in marketing before they start producing. And because of our high focus around R&D, right, which is all about new product, again, your front-ending, your cost before the growth actually comes in. So now we're going to continue to focus on growth. And as long as we believe that the medium to long-term growth for us is in the 30s, you know, high 20s, 30s, maybe even 40s, we're going to continue to operate profitably, but relatively lower profit. Once growth slows down, yeah, I mean, it will all start to flow into the bottom line. They're reassessing at that time. And at least our data and the ETR data shows that pure is in a position from a spending intention standpoint to continue to gain share. We don't see any change to that in the next several quarters. Last question for you, Charlie. We got to talk about AI. We talk about at every conference. When we're looking at pure and customer conversations, it's about data, right? Data is oil, lifeblood, gold, currency, whatever you want to call it. How, what is that conversation that, that say, pure and NVIDIA have together in customers about how can data ignite AI workloads, help companies identify new products, new services, deliver more automation? This is probably one of my favorite topics when I'm talking to customers, is how to make data actually useful.  But, you know, what does it mean to them as a business but also to their customers? Because a lot of times they're using it for overall customer benefit. And the great part of that conversation, and whether it's us or NVIDIA or both of us together, is we both use it for our, to improve our business and our customers' lives as well. You know, we talked today about how we have 15 petabytes of operational data from our customers' arrays, right? How they're performing. And we analyze that on a, on an hour by hour basis to look to see, is the customer getting to the point where they need, where they need to modify how they're operating or where they need to upgrade or where they need to add or even reduce more capacity so that they don't fall, you know, they don't trip over things that will get their business in trouble. So it, and now we even allow the customer to analyze their business and do what if scenario planning to say, well, if I'm going to double the amount of customer transactions I have, you know, what will that mean from an infrastructure standpoint? You know, will I need to change or upgrade? So, you know, this has been great fun because we are in the same boat as our customers depending on AI to improve our, our mutual customers' experience. Well, those conversations must be very insightful. Charlie, thank you for joining David and me on theCUBE today. Again, happy 10th anniversary to Pure. We look forward to the next two days.

Our scripture reading comes from the book of Matthew chapter 26 verses 39. It says, going a little further, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, My father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me, yet not as I will, but as you will. I will repeat Matthew chapter 26 verses 39. It says, going a little further, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, My father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me, yet not as I will, but as you will. Thank you and be blessed. Thank you for that. Let's now turn to our hymns once again to sing our opening hymn and the theme song for this program that is 499, What a Friend We Have in Jesus. Everything to God in prayer But peace we often forfeit Or what needless pain we bear All because we do not care Everything to God in prayer Have we trials and temptations Is there trouble anywhere Should never beat his cup Take it to the Lord in prayer Can we find a friend so fail Our sorrow shared Lord of pain Precious saviour still are in Take it to the Lord in prayer My friends despise for say Take it to the Lord What a friend we have in Jesus indeed Let's join together as we go on into a session of prayer Let's pray Our father and our God, we thank you so much for being so kind and so merciful unto us We are grateful for this opportunity and the privilege of prayer that is ours through Jesus Christ That you have called us dear Lord by name And you have told us that indeed we are your children And therefore Lord we humble ourselves before your presence this evening That your Holy Spirit may have a place in our hearts and that much more Your Word may find a place in us Jehovah I pray that you may please forgive us our sins and cleanses from all unrighteousness We pray for all the youth worldwide And thank you that we can now come together in fellowship and seek your face We pray that dear Lord you may attend to our needs Each of us, there are those of us who have prayer requests Some have been mentioned and some have not been brought before your people We pray that dear Lord you may attend to us according to your riches in glory And much more according to your perfect will We pray that dear Jesus you may speak to us That you may make us faithful That you may give us a burden for souls That you may work for you now while it is still day And night is coming when no man shall work I pray for all the youth all over the world And especially in this church We pray that you may revive us And that you may give us an opportunity to testify of your goodness in our lives We pray that you may make us faithful in all the spheres in our families Even in our places of work Those of us who are in school also we pray That Lord you may make us faithful I pray for opportunities to speak of your Word And to show people that indeed we have your love in us We pray that Jesus Christ may find a place in our hearts And that he may teach us And work with us in all the things that you find to do and to say Lord even as we seek to explore your Word this evening We pray that dear Jesus you may guide us And that you may give us your Holy Spirit That he may teach us And that he may show us that which is required of us We pray that you may continue to show us your light And that your Word may be a light unto our paths We welcome you Holy Spirit And we thank you dear Jesus for being with us And for hearing our prayer For this is a humble prayer in Jesus' name Amen Good evening and welcome everybody Wherever you following the program form We thank the Lord for being faithful unto us We still have faith that he has good plans for us And at his feet we decide to abide This evening we having the third day The third day of the youth week of prayer My appeal is that we may find time We may invite a friend And above all everybody You will make it a personal responsibility To push your ears closer to God You will find something for a blessing this week The topic that I'm going to talk about this evening is The will of God Shall we believe and shall we pray Before we proceed loving Father in Jesus' name We ask you Lord to feed us with the bread of life Make every soul be full And above all this may not just inform But as well transform us That we may be prepared for you second coming Bless us all Lord and the Holy Spirit As our teacher may guide till the end And this is our prayer in Jesus' name Amen What is the will of God? Often we pray and when the prayer seem to delay Or when we seem not to have gotten the response to our prayers We quick and we round to a conclusion That that could be the will of God Well it is still true that regardless of how good Or how committed our prayers may be Or ourselves are as Christians The thoughts of the Lord God is High above ours like heavens Is far from the earth As east is far from the west So are the thoughts of the Lord above our thoughts And God did not intend to intimidate us By having his thoughts high above our thoughts But I would wish that we look through the scriptures That we understand what the will of God is I will bring to you tension again That every moment we pray We don't make decisions for God It will be a deception That men go on their knees And by calling Jesus' name We are purposing to make decisions for God That is not a prayer And of course as we pray I still believe that in our prayers We tell God what we desire But he decides what comes We tell God what we desire But he decides when it comes And so in our prayer We need to be prepared That God would be planning to answer our prayers In a manawesa Than we asked of him Sometimes you would be asking God for a healing Like it was with the case of Lazarus When Lazarus a friend to Jesus fell sick People around thought that now For Jesus to sound like a true friend Than he must be here before this man lies Well, that would be what all of us would think But their divine plan was different In the death of Lazarus God himself wanted to give me and you an assurance But a life given to Jesus Christ will never be lost I look at the resurrection of Lazarus And I'm having that as an assurance That a life given to Jesus A life lived as a friend of Jesus Will never be lost Resurrection is possible Well, if men and women would have Accused Jesus of delaying Than they would have not understood What the will of God was So often whatever we go through Or the challenges we go through God could be using us as object lessons Either to ourselves or to other people So I will ask you to grow with me through the scriptures That this evening we will fight And through the fire the Holy Spirit will lead us We may understand what the will of God is Now this is from Christ Jesus himself And I'm reading from the book of Matthew chapter 26 Matthew chapter 26 And I will start from verses 36 The script says in Matthew 26 from 36 downwards That then cometh Jesus with them And to a place called Gethsemane And said unto disciples Sit here while I go and pray yonder And he took with him Peter And two sons of Zebedee And began to be sorrowful and very heavy Then said he unto them My soul is exceeding sorrowful Even unto death Tell you here and watch with me Verse 39 And he went a little further And fell on his face And prayed saying oh my father If it be possible Let this cup pass for me Nevertheless not as I will But as thou wilt Now this is the prayer that Jesus is making And from the Holy Scriptures We believe that Christ Jesus was 100% God And 100% man Now from the prayers itself It seems like now when Christ Jesus is in Gethsemane We can't view him as 100% God It was all humanity that is put to test Like the script says he was tested in all ways Just as we are yet without sin Now Christ Jesus is praying And is asking the Father to let this cup pass him Well you turn with me to the book of Revelation 1 Verse 18 As Christ Jesus is asking God to let the cup pass him He is careful to make sure that in his prayer He has placed the will of God above what he wanted In his prayer In his conclusion I think the most powerful part of Jesus' prayer Is when he mentions let you will be done and not mine Because what God was planning Was not to just take this cup away from him That was a small victory God wanted a victory for him bigger than that So as he prays for the cup to pass him God in heaven is carrying him the keys to hell and death And he gives that to his hands And now at his death and disrection We by faith believe that we too shall overcome If God would let that cup pass him It could be good but a small victory God at times and out of faith I have God has better reasons For us going through what we are going through As long as we keep in walk with him Let's not call it the will of God If we are not doing what he has commanded us Sometimes people have just suffered The repakation of their careless lives Or the repakations of going astray from God And men and women around them Are trying to think about his will of God I want us to be careful to know That choices have consequences So if something is happening And it is happening to them Who are walking in the light of the word of God Then I will boldly say But that is the will of God When Job is praying for his sons And daughters one by one They came and died all at once And men and women around him His friends are telling Job That such a sin does just come on its own You must have done something unrighteous You must be a man of iniquity But because of the work Job had with God God himself was interested In proving to the enemy The devil satan That truly this man is my servant So Job in his life Is like a football in the preach The devil is kicking and God is watching And the devil is doing penalty number one And God is watching The death of his sons and daughters And God is watching The camels are stolen And God is watching The sheep die And God is watching God is not coming for help Sorry for the technical problem We proceeding And we asking a question On what the will of God is If you will make a prayer And the petitions are not answered Now does God stop being God Do we only have him as God When our prayers are answered Does God only become sovereign When whatever you wanted from him Is what you have received Now we see here that when Jesus is praying He concludes his prayer With a statement of faith Thy will be done and not mine Well God will still remain God and sovereign Even in our absence So him answering our prayers Does not make him God With our prayers answered At the time you wanted or not God remains God Many have been struggling with this Because they have put their God On a measure of how quickly answers prayers God I would think If he would go out and give men Whatever they ask for If every petition men take to God Will be answered the same way Men want them to be I think the next thing Men will ask from God Is God now stop controlling us If God is going to answer every prayer The way men want the prayers to be answered Then men are now going to tell him Now stop being on top of us So is God only God when our prayers are answered Is it possible that we can by faith Remain firm and say Even if this God we serve This God we believe in will not deliver us But oh King we will not bow down Is it possible that in our faith And even as we make our prayers Is it possible to have a conviction But being with God And having the things you pray for If you desperately need these things To be given unto you more than you need God Then the scripture says we ask amaze We ask so that we glory And some men and women would glory On how good they are at asking Some of the prayers men and women make Today are not answered Simply because after God would answer those prayers Then these people will start worshiping How they pray than God who answered that prayer Men and women will start honoring These prayer warriors than they honor their God So I still want to believe That God remains God Even if what we needed from him is not provided I still remain supreme And even in our absence God will remain God Actually I don't think God is so disparate For our worship Because long before we were God was worshiped Long before the earth And heaven were created God was gone So my attention this evening is That we may all Make a prayer of faith And a prayer of maturity in faith Knowing that having God is better Than having the things we needed Being with God is better Than having our petitions As we asked of them That will make every believer Still keep walking in faith Still looking unto him It is not because sometimes These prayers are not answered Because what we have asked is amaze I'm looking at the case That is existing here Between Joseph and his brothers Joseph and his brothers in Egypt After Joseph was put in a pit By brothers there was no water To kill him Definitely God was faithful That the water was not found In that pit And these brothers still Were determined to do away with him Actually they needed that Joseph Be away from them Than they needed the 20 pieces of silver If those men could not afford the 20 Still the brothers could have given him for free What they didn't want was Joseph around them This young one Who has a coat of many colors Fathers who make few coats You could be traveling the ones The coats are made for So when Joseph is finally sold As a slave boy in the land of Egypt God who was faithful God who is faithful And will remain faithful Moved with Joseph And so from the pit He begins a journey with Joseph Joseph could be on his way To Egypt, a place he does know But it does mean that his God Is dead It does mean his God was to only remain God If he would turn home The same evening So in Potiphal's place Joseph being faithful to God God is blessing the works of his hand And when the devil see you rise He pushes someone your way to bring you down So there is a temptation here for Joseph But because Joseph is still faithful to his Lord Joseph is asking himself That should I do such a thing And sin against my God Joseph knew that wherever I am I am not with my father, yes This is not where I wanted to be, yes And even if I would go on my knees To pray this moment I will not ask God to keep me here But still when temptation Start chasing him He chose to stand with his God And now another move That is very hard for him The move that accused him firstly And now Joseph is taken to prison Still in prison Joseph wun't wish to be there If he was to make a prayer Joseph wun't pray God Thank you that I am in prison But still by faith And I think it is counted for him But it is by faith That God even thought it wise To remain faithful unto him and God In his own time And in his divine plan Lifted Joseph now from the prison To the palace Now here comes his brothers And this is where I wanted to get to And Joseph is telling his brothers In the book of Genesis chapter 45 verses 5 His brothers no look afraid When they realized that this is the same one But they sold for no money actually That which they were given was too little And if that was not available still They would have given him for free But Joseph is telling them Be not afraid that you sold me here God sent me ahead of you To prepare a place for you Now such are the faith That God is asking us to have Such a faith That regardless of what has been happening All the way From when we started praying Still when God will lift us From the prison to the palace We will not use our power To bring down those who lord us In a pit We will not use our power To oppress those who accused us falsely What is the target for you prayer Some are making prayers God if you would lift me from this prison And take me to the palace Men and women who accused me Will know who I am And definitely such prayers I would call them a miss Because they are made Men are selfishly doing that And they are not having At the back of their mind Intention to give glory to God But they use it for self gratification What is the will of God It must therefore remain The will of God Or it will be the will of God When the petitions you making Are focused into giving glory to him Sometimes God is not giving us What we asking of him Because he knows That that will destroy us We look at the story of the prodigal son And when the prodigal son Is given his fair share What the father gave him Took him away from the father And maybe God is not seeing Us having senses Like the prodigal son had Maybe he is looking at us And there are no time Are we promising to come back To our senses It was a lucky thing with the prodigal son That he came back to his senses But probably God is not Giving you what you asking of him At that time It does mean he won't give it to you But maybe he is intending That after it is given to you Then it does take you away from the giver The prodigal son received And went away from the father Was no more willing To keep within that compound With the rules and regulations He went and lived in far place With halos Could that be the will of God As it concerns the things we pray for Could God be seeing the danger That we will be destroyed By these things we are asking for Many people have been destroyed By the same things God gave them We look at the story of Samson And Samson being the strongest man Who was purpose to be a Nazarite Was destroyed by what God gave him So even as we ask for God to Answer various prayers we making Let us also have it at the back of our mind Another petition that God Protect me from being destroyed By these things I'm asking of you Many have had their prayers answered And out of that after God gave them After the father gave them what they wanted They parted ways with the father Unfortunately he does last As we see it never lasted For the prodigal son When he gives it to you And you use it away from him When he gives it to you And you put it to use Against his will it doesn't last So brothers and sisters We are looking into what the will of God is Possibly I'm also thinking But we are only making certain prayers And as we do them Because we are not contented We don't have the spirit of contentment And so I will ask If this has ever crossed your mind What is contentment? Is contentment a call to remain inferior? Is contentment meant to keep us Where we have been? Is contentment about staying there And not asking God to lift us high? What is contentment? I'm looking at contentment As appreciating or thanking God For what he has put in your hands Appreciating God for what he has put in your hands And not sinfully looking at what others are giving If you would thank God for what he has put in your hands If you would thank God for where he has placed you that moment Without sinfully looking at where others have placed I think that means contentment Because this people says that in all things In everything let us give thanks to the Lord Including And I think when the scripture says in all things Then the situation that your prayer is not answered is included Now because his thoughts are higher above our thoughts He knows why these prayers are not answered And he says let us give thanks to God in all things So I'm looking at contentment here As one of the qualities and the virtues That should we have as Christians Then we will patiently wait on God Hebrews chapter 10 verses 36 There is a condition given Before we receive these promises that he has for us In the Holy Scriptures God has given us a number of promises But Hebrews chapter 10 verse 36 Hebrews 10 verse 36 says that For we have need of patience We have need of patience That after you have done the will of God You might receive the promise Now if I would read from verse 35 The scripture says cast not away therefore Your confidence which had great recompense of reward Our confidence in the Lord had great recompense of reward Even if whatever we prayed for Is not answered the way we wanted The scripture says that is a great reward Could be you are praying for what could have come to your life To destroy you And God is now holding you destruction You could be asking God to help you excel in your professional life But God is giving you more days He is looking at you as someone who is not so careful of his ways And if I don't protect, if I don't cover him Then he may anytime soon be lost So much as we gone our knees and we pray No God give me this God is looking far beyond to your future And he is seeing destruction coming Now God is interested in protecting you Than in asking amaze Asking for this Which maybe after you receive Will make you pathways with him I still want to believe But it is important That we understand the will of God Sometimes the will of God Is that you prayers are not answered The same way you made you petitions You could be asking for something God Is seeing clearly is going to destroy you You could be asking for something God is seeing clearly But will make you pathways with him You could be asking this And your senses are not landed Like the senses of the prodigosan And as soon as you will receive them You will walk away from the father So whatever comes our way After we have prayed Let us believe But that's the will of God That's the will of God Now if God will not do anything If we pray then why do we have to pray Because I think that now could be a troubling question In our minds If we will pray and things remain the same way Then why do we pray Why do we tell it to God I think when you met a prayer And it is not answered I think it is true That you have received an answer It's all that you are not often in mind To acknowledge that God has given you an answer That could have been the trouble that people are going through God has answered our prayers By holding us back Doing us something greater than we asked for But we don't seem to really understand that And we selfishly look on him As one who will give us what we want And not what he wants Today many people have prayed Kneeling down And in the name of Jesus They are trying to pull God on their side Even if their side is wrong And they think that because we kneel down And we called on Jesus' name Then that can truly pull God on our side Are we on the Lord's side Have we done his will Then even after we pray Are we patient Are we patient Or patient is a virtue Patient is the fruit of the Holy Spirit And every person should be patient now What I now see or view patient has Is something so different Maybe from what you think patients has been I look at patients From the view of some writer Ask You know how you behave While waiting He says patients is not how long you wait Patients is how you behave while waiting After you ask it of God How do you behave after that Are you going to ask on and on and on Are you going to pray without season Are you going to tell it to God once And you want it done And if it is not done at your own time Then you are not waiting for the divine point of time Is that patients So I basically out of faith still believe That when we ask of him in faith It may delay but it will never be denied So it is out of patience in me In whoever is praying To make sure that he is waiting on him Now patients therefore would mean to me That we do his will You know for us to receive the promise As it is recorded in Hebrews 10 verse 35 For us to receive this promise Hebrews 6.6 I'll read again That for you have need of patients That after you have done the will of God You might receive the promise So for me I'm looking at patients As something that is so much attached Actually in one with doing the will of God You are not patient until you do the will of God Because we are going to receive the promise The answers to the petitions we give him Will be received only after we do the will of God Now the script says in the book of Matthew 6 And verses 33 That we seek fast the kingdom of God And his righteousness And all these things shall be added unto us Today men have changed the order And today many are chasing for all these things Without having affection or connection With the kingdom of God And God could be seeing you Being after all these things Than after his kingdom And he knows when I give you all these things And you are not prepared for my kingdom Than this is for you all destruction And this asking what shall it profit you If you gain the whole world And you lose your soul So regardless Of whatever we may feel after we No give our petitions to God I want us to have a firm stand by faith But after we have prayed believing Then it has great recompense of reward God must not respond in our level His thoughts are high above our thoughts You could be asking for this And he is giving you something bigger You could be asking for that And he is seeing your destruction You could be asking what will take you far from him And is having good plans for you Plans to prosper you, not to harm you And he is looking at you as one Who if those things will be given to Then that same person will go from the father Will go away from home Now the will of God therefore Is one that every believer As you pray to God by faith Must be prepared to live by And like I said When you pray you tell God what you desire But he decides what comes His will would bring you No, a response Or an answer different from what you asked for And the scribble says that has a great recompense of reward Not many have looked at this keenly and carefully Whatever we prayed for believing So if it has happened the way you wanted it to be I'm telling you the scribble says that for you At a great recompense of reward God has done you bigger than you even asked for So much as we go to God in prayer One, let us not ask a miss And God is not prepared to answer No, the prayers of those who ask a miss Those who ask that So that they glorify in themselves After they have received What they're asking of God Then they will not give honor Or glory to God They will be tamping them chairs They will be telling men You need to know how to pray They will be worshiping their prayer Than God who is the provider So as a believer One stand I want to maintain Is that even if God does give me What I want No privilege on earth is greater Than being with him If I would ask God for A and B And he doesn't give me that Then I still need the confidence That there's no privilege greater Than being with him Being with God is greater Than having the things you're asking for Like we see the resurrection of Lazarus Maint more than he's feeling Through his resurrection The word of God reached many people Through the resurrection of Lazarus God intended to speak And make the gospel reach other areas It's even written in scriptures If Christ would come No tiptoeing in an evening And healing Lazarus As man wanted to the left and to the right It could have done him good But not as much as it did When God resurrected him So regardless of what May come away Let us stand firm And we can defend the will of God We just have to accept the will of God Like Shadrach, Meshakana, Bnego They said if this God will not defend us Then we are not going to bow down For any other thing We are not going to lower standards We are not going to do anything Different We are going to stand with this God It is not only our God Because he has answered our prayers Even if our prayers are not answered He is God we are going to stand for And we are not going to bow down for anything Because we have a God in heaven And truly because they stood firm Even on the will of God God did a miracle But the men who threw them in the fire Got consumed by the same sword That was fashioned against them In their confidence They saw it But truly the will of God Was sweetest When the will of God prevailed Probably when people saw them They would have had an idea That their God is going to quench this fire That has now been made sometimes hotter This God is going to send some carbon dioxide And put it off But that was not the will of God God was using the same fire And he gave men even more strength To make it hotter Because he knew he wanted To consume the enemy through the same fire There could be some fire in your life And you wondering why is God not taking this fire Out of my life It has a good plan for you He want to consume you enemies with the same fire So when you see you enemies carry Or make fire for you Patiently wait on God He could be planning to use the same fire To finish you enemies Don't pray like God Why have you not put off this fire The will of God Jesus is praying in the garden of Gethsemane And his concern is You will be done Friends, not neighbors Neither friends Or people close to you Must understand the will of God For your God to remain God Jesus is praying in Gethsemane And the three associates As to accompany him while asleep People will be asleep When the will of God is taking tall in your life They will not really understand Don't expect anyone To understand as much as you Are given power to understand it The will of God is for you as an individual People may be wondering why you praying And that drops of blood out of you Why are you not sweating drops of blood People would be wondering Why are you still worshiping this God And the fire is getting seven times hotter What's wrong with you God It's yourself who must understand the will of God And I want to make this closing remark But God can never put you on a rough road Without giving you strong shoes Sometimes when we go through different challenges We are quick to lament And we are quick to look for the shoes That He has given us If He will place you on a rough road Ask God for the shoes That He purposed for you to use He has good plans for all of us And let us believe in Him Let us all this of our life Let us get to Him in prayer And we know and we believe He shall be well in Jesus name Amen What a wonderful message from our pastor About God's will Christ in the garden of Getsemani Walked and fell to His face and said If it was my will This car would pass away from me But not my will but your will be done Indeed, let us allow God's will to work in our lives To crown this service To sing song number 554 Or let me walk with Thee As we concentrate ourselves to God Asking Him to guide us And to allow His will to be done in our lives Oh let me walk with Thee My God As Enoch walked in days of old Bless Thou my trembling hand in Thine And sweet communion with me hold In Tho' the path I may not see Yet Jesus let me walk with Thee I cannot dare not walk alone The tempest rages in the sky A thousand snares beset my feet A thousand foes a-locking I Still the king of the sea Oh master let me walk with Thee If I may rest my hand in Thine I'll count the joys of earth But lost and furniture I'll bear the bath of the cross Till the AIDS I see Yet savior let me walk with Thee Welkom for this session of prayer Each and everyone of you Those inside we can find a place to kneel down for the word of prayer We pray Kind of a lasting must of eternal righteousness We come to you this night father thanking you for the gift of life We thank you for this moment that you've given us to come together and fellowship We want to acknowledge father that you are the creator of heaven and earth and you are the provider of every kind of work that we find to do Father Lord we pray for

be patient enough to look upon your will take care of us father and let us believe in you more so that even as Shadrach, Meshak and Bednego day that day we may able to confidently say father that we

that it is only your perfect will that shall prevail and therefore Lord we pray that you help us to bring our will into subjection and our bodies to subjection as well and that dear Lord we may learn

What's one thing on your bucket list that you haven't accomplished yet that you want to?  You're talking right up Alex's alley, right? Yeah. All right. I got 500,000 separate bank account waiting for them to bring me home. Waiting for it. Yeah. I don't know if I want to do the trip all the way to Mars. Like I think six months on a rocket might like freak me out. Yeah. Like one of the little civilian flights. We'll start there and see how it goes.


Item Number – SCP-001-J Object Class – E.OV Special Containment Procedures – SCP-001-J is under no circumstances to be allowed access to monetary gifts of any kind. Staff must relinquish all currency on their person before engaging in any interaction with SCP-001-J. The containment of SCP-001-J does not appear at this time to be attainable by the Foundation. However, due to SCP-001-J's apparent apprehension involving creditors, it may be possible to affect containment through such entities. More research is needed in this field. Description – SCP-001-J is an omniscient, omnipotent, omnitemporal entity named Michael Cain, who is the primary deity worshipped by a group of religious zealots calling themselves The Church of the Broke God. SCP-001-J wields great and terrible cosmic power while possessing a distinct and crippling lack of adequate financial planning skills. SCP-001-J requires a significant influx of cash money in order to pay, in his own words, the water bill, child support payments, bread, and some of those little hot dogs because protein is a must if you're just barely making ends meet. However, any amount of money given to SCP-001-J by any individual and for any reason will somehow mysteriously disappear despite SCP-001-J's insistence that it was not spent on booze, cigarettes, and porno mags. Discovery – SCP-001-J was discovered by 051 on a business trip to New York during an event later described by SCP-001-J as, that time you totally contained me. Where 051 stopped SCP-001-J from stealing a bagel by shouting, hey, don't steal that bagel. Ever since 051 offered to pay for SCP-001-J's bagel and gave him a few bucks for a cab, SCP-001-J has left no fewer than 17,000 voicemails on 051's phone, typically asking for money or, in some cases, talking at length about unrelated events before eventually asking for money. Addendum 001-J.1 – Recorded voicemails The following voicemails were received by 051's office between April 20, 2017 and May 1, 2017. Notably, both the Global Occult Coalition and the Serpent's Hand also confirmed that SCP-001-J had called them asking for money during this time, while the Chaos Insurgency reported that SCP-001-J had called them, but only burped into the phone for 15 seconds and hung up. Hello, you've reached the office of 051. Please leave your name and a number, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Hey, Adam, it's me, Mike, Mike Kane. You know, that one time we met when you contained me? Yeah, I know I wasn't a super great look, but hey, look at me now, huh? I got a whole congregation together and everything, so that's great. While I'm here, I was gonna ask you something. See, I'm really trying to put things back on track, get life moving in a positive direction.  I know you've probably got your own stuff going on, but if you could spare like a short-term loan of like $200, that would be super. And you know I'm good for it? Absolutely good for it. Anyway, just give me a call back when you get the chance. Thanks again, buddy. Hello, you've reached the office of 051. Please leave your name and a number, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Adam, my man was happening.  Really, $200 might be a stretch, right? Because we only met that one time, and I know this seems pretty forward, and I get that. I do. Something in really, you could come up with like $100. That would really get me settled.  Trying to make a change. I know you get me. Thanks again, my man. Hello, you've reached the office of 051. Please leave your name and a number, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.  He doesn't know anything about me, Adam. Nothing. I don't even know his name. Look, I know I probably sounded drunk the other night, and you know what, maybe I was. But this whole thing is a process, right? It's not gonna happen all at once, and I own that. I definitely own that, but look, I know I said $100 would do it, but really, I'm just trying to come up with like, whatever I can. I'm supposed to make my kids, yeah, my kids supposed to take them to the kid museum, and you can get in there for like $20. So if I could make that happen, me and you, that would be perfect. $20, right? That's nothing. Anyway, hit me up, bro. Hello, you've reached the office of 051. Please leave your name and a number, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. All right, fine. You know what? I know that you got me blocked or something, and I get that. I don't blame you. So I'm calling from my cousin Yabi's place, and he's a good dude, right? But look, I've got some guys I need to get paid, you know, who I borrowed some money from. And they're being pretty insistent about this whole thing, so at this point, really anything would be perfect. $5 even. What have you got lying around under your desk? You know, anything I can give these guys. So give me a ring there, homie. That would be great. Hello, you've reached the office of 051. Please leave your name and a number, and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. Adam? Adam, I know you're there. Pick up the phone, Adam. Come on. It's your old pal, Mike, right? Remember the good times that we had that time? I'm seriously in a pinch here, my man. And if you've got like cans of scrap metal laying around I could take off your hands. That would be fine. Plastic bottles even. I've got a guy who'll give me 15 cents per pound of drier lint, Adam. And I know you guys do a lot of laundry. Come on, man. You know I'm good for it. I'm totally good for it. But I'm serious about that drier lint. Hello, Adam? Hello?


In that Burkina Faso, the United Nations coordinator in the country, Italian Barbara Manzi, has been declared personal non-gratter and asked to leave the country. According to a diplomatic source, the explosion is justified by the fact that Mies Manzi recently requested and obtained the withdrawal of non-essential personnel of the UN system from Burkina Faso. Another diplomatic source said a long list of recriminations have led Burkina Faso diplomacy to take its responsibilities. In addition to the request for the withdrawal of non-essential personnel, Mies Manzi is also accused of attempting to influence negatively and of interfering in the political affairs of Burkina Faso according to reports.


Okay, so like what we were saying, if you've got a neutral solution, it's going to be a 7, an acidic solution is going to be below 7, pH, and a basic solution is going to have a pH above 7, okay? So in this problem, the second part of the question asked us, is this solution acidic, basic, or neutral? Okay? Well, we didn't even really have to finish this problem to determine that part of the problem because we already got the H3O plus concentration here, okay? So remember, pH equals the negative log of the H3O plus concentration, okay? So when we look at that, so this little P here in chemistry, that always means negative log of, I don't know what that noise was, very interesting to have in a chemistry class. So whenever you see this P, it's the negative log of, okay? So where it means H, it's just saying, well how many protons, okay? So has anybody got any answer yet? What is it? It's 5. It's 5, yeah. Oh. How did I figure that out? How'd you figure that out? Okay, so you just looked up there, that's it, okay? If it's 1 times 10 to the negative 5th, it's going to be 5, okay? So if this is 1 there, then you can just plug that down there. But if it's not, then you've got to put it in your calculator. I would suggest you guys put these into your calculator because most people don't do these until the test and then they realize that they have no idea how to use their calculator, okay? So for those of you who are like looking at me with the most confused looks or nonchalant looks but refusing to take your calculators out, I would do it right now. And calculate it. Have you calculated it yet? Do it. No, just do this part now. Make sure you can plug in negative logs, very important, okay? If you don't know how to do it on your own, okay? Yeah. If you can't do it on your calculator, then you won't be able to do it on the test. He knows how to do it, so have him show you if you can't do it on your own.
