Good morning everyone. We have to be back for coming to the close of the semester. Just a few more weeks to go. Hope you're all doing well. And keeping up with all your assignments and the end of semester work. We'll begin. So I'm going to be willing to open up some prayer. Let's pray. Dear Heavenly Father, we come to you under the name of Jesus. We thank you for this day. We thank you for the class we are about to have. We bless Miss Smitha in the name of Jesus. And God, I give all my classmates and dear hands as our mamma is teaching us how this do. Open our mind and heart and listen to it and understand the truth of your words, Jesus, which is the way to life, which is something that we have to hold on, and we have to stick together in our heart. Jesus, let every words that is inspired by the Holy Spirit help us to pressure it in our hearts. Jesus, not just listening to it, but pressure it in our hearts so that in our walk of life, we will prioritize your worry, prioritize your kingdom, and we will live for your glory, Jesus. We give you all the glory and honor in Jesus. May my pray. So, when you're able to watch those videos that I posted, like the second Philippines, number one and two, and then the end of first Philippines as well, we will just put it ourselves going. It's like we know we're able to watch it. Also, if you're having trouble finding it, it's one of those last videos. If you haven't yet watched it, it's especially that, I mean, both of those recordings because the first one is the end of first Philippines kind of concludes everything that we were talking about in first Philippines. And the second video is an introduction to what we are doing, what we've continued to do since last year in second Philippines. It's important to have that context provided so that as we're looking at the rest of the episode, you're able to understand what Paul is talking about, why he's mentioning certain things. So I encourage you to just try and go back and watch those two videos. Also, is there any questions or assignments or anything? Have you all started working on the final assignment? Are you all having any challenges? Okay, I did see something when he mailed me and I responded with his emails. If you have any questions, yes. If not, you can unmute and speak. And if I pronounce your name wrong, please correct me. Good morning, ma'am. Well, this is my data assignment. It's not clear to me. The final assignment, is it? It's not clear, ma'am. So I tried to read it again, but it's not clear to me. Okay. I need more light. Okay. Sorry, I'm not able to hear you very clearly. Just one moment. Sorry, could you repeat that? So you said the final assignment is not very clear. Are you able to hear me? If you had, could you just repeat your question because I wasn't able to hear very clearly. Was it the final assignment you said was not clear? My voice is not clear here. I can't hear you clearly. Okay, okay. I was just asking, you said the final assignment question was not very clear. Is that correct? Okay, okay. We'll just go over that question. He said we should take one for topic and explain and relate it to other aspects. I don't know, maybe we are going to take all the topics from the 1st Corinthians or from the 2nd Corinthians. So that is the problem I am having. Yes. So you can pick a topic either from 1st Corinthians or 2nd Corinthians, so one of those books. So for example, if you choose the topic of unity in 1st Corinthians, so where Paul is addressing the issue of division in the church, then you look at everything that he talks about with regard to unity. You look at that specific theme of unity, where all does he mention it in 1st Corinthians. So look at all of the different, read through the whole book and pick up all the different places where unity is the theme that he is talking about. And then kind of summarize that. So say 1st Corinthians in verse 5. I am just giving you an example. I am not giving you the right references, sorry. So say 5 to verse 12, Paul talks about unity here. And then again in chapter 3, he talks about unity. And then in chapter 7, he talks about unity. So you mention all of those and what does he say about unity in each of those instances. And then we look at also, so I've asked you to look at what was the context. So there was division in the church, right? So what was the division over and how is Paul addressing that division through this when he's talking about unity. Then look at the original language meaning when he is talking about unity, what does that word actually mean in Greek? Is it the same way we understand unity in the English language? Then look at what kinds of words does he mean specifically when he's talking about unity? Is he talking about fellowship? Is he talking about communion? Is he talking about looking at one another the way Christ views us? What kinds of things does he talk about when he's talking about unity? And then you look at also in the rest of scripture outside of 1st Corinthians, what does the rest of scripture say about unity? Now for that last part, I've said you can do some research online. So search online and look at where all their references to unity in the rest of scripture and bring that into your final, so your final summary should be this is 1st Corinthians teaching on unity and bring in also what the rest of scripture kind of says about unity. So your summary should be this is kind of the overall teaching on unity in scripture. But your focus mostly will be on 1st Corinthians. You're just adding in the rest of scripture to give it a more complete kind of picture. I hope that's clear. Any questions? That's clear. Anybody else had any questions? Any challenges? So it is a good amount of work this paper so start working on it as soon as possible so that as you have, if you have questions then I can also be of some assistance to you as we're working on it. Okay, let's go into a quick we'll just look at some of what we covered. Okay. Brother Lubega has asked is there any word limit? I haven't given you a word limit for this paper because it may depend on your topic that you've chosen. So I'm leaving that open but I do, so my main I've mentioned some of the main things that I'm looking at in this paper when I'm reading you. So it is just at the end there I want to see that you've done your own work so you should have read through 1st Corinthians or 2nd Corinthians and done that research. I don't want to just have something copied and pasted from outside sources and then the second thing is how you've presented that if you checked your grammar, checked spelling all of those things, submitting one time submitting your assignment on time and accuracy. So answering the question thoroughly. So I've given you all the steps for the assignment that you're looking at it in the whole of that book and then in scripture as well. So I want that is most important that you've done that thoroughly. If you've not done that, that's when then that will lead to some deduction in your final score. So that I've not mentioned a word limit. I'm more concerned about you doing the research thoroughly. So you won't get more marks if you do a long paper or less if you do a short paper. It's more about have you answered it fully, answer the question. So we don't get signed with any other questions. We will welcome. So if you'll have any other questions, please feel free to email me and of course don't even maybe someone else from the class may have been answering questions. So feel free to do that. So we look at a quick recap of what we did last week. So from chapter three, we started at chapter three last week. So in chapters one and two, Paul kind of talks a little bit about his travels, what he had been doing after he wrote the first letter to the Corinthians. He talks a little bit about his second missionary journey and he talks about wanting to have visited the Corinthians and he actually does visit the Corinthians and why I'm mentioning this is because we will go back to that in today's class. So he does visit the Corinthians church because there are some issues that have come up and he wants to go there in person and address it. But during that time when he visits them, that visit turns out to be quite an unhappy one. And so he had originally planned to go back to Corinth and visit the church, but instead of going back, he sent a status with a letter to the church kind of to explain some of the things that he had brought up with them and why he had brought them up. And so the first two chapters are mostly talking about that, about the issue that was addressed about why he didn't visit them when he said he would visit them on his way back from Macedonia and just some of that, some of the challenges or the misunderstandings that had arisen from all of that about his change of plans of visiting and some people who wondered whether his word could be trusted. So those are some of the things he talks about in chapters one and two. In chapter three he kind of goes into this support of who he is as an apostle, as someone who planted this church and took the gospel to the Corinthians. Now some of this is in support of what he's talked about in chapters one and two. So in one and two people were questioning whether his word can be trusted. He had brought up some he had confronted them with certain issues and that had brought up had brought up this kind of misunderstanding of what their relationship was a little bit not fully reconciled to one another. So he's supporting who he is as their leader. He's writing to just remind them of his heart for them as someone who planted this church and he's also writing because there were certain other people who were trying to come into the church and take over and kind of say that they were better leaders or superior to Paul and so he's supporting himself taking into consideration both these situations the situation with the church as well as opponents that are coming in and questioning his authority within the church and kind of trying to draw some people in the church away with them. So that's what we look at in chapter three is talking about his role in bringing this glorious new covenant that God had entrusted that covenant to him and he had brought it to the Corinthian church and it focuses a lot on the glory of this new covenant and what a powerful covenant it is in comparison to the old covenant that was given through Moses. In chapter four he talks about more on the gospel how he as a minister of God has carried the gospel to them how he has suffered as part of that role of being an apostle so not only has he taken this glorious gospel but it has also required sacrifice it has required a lot of suffering as well and so in seeing that suffering he's encouraging the Corinthian church to know that his work was with genuine love for them and full commitment to Christ to see Christ honored so those are the two things we looked at last week of throughout their ministry their focus is on the church the church being benefited and Christ being glorified so with that we come to chapter 5 we continue from chapter 5 verse 16 onwards we stop at verse 15 from 16 onwards if someone can read for us chapter 16 I mean chapter 5 verse 16 I mean chapter 5 verse 16 and it goes to verse 21 chapter 5 verses 16 till the end of chapter 2 I can convince chapter 5 verses 16 so from now on we record from now on from a human point of view though we have known Christ from a human point of view we know no one in this world therefore if anyone is in Christ he's a new creature the old things have passed away the whole new things have come awakening bright brings a new life but all these things are from God who reconciled us to him through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation that is that God was in Christ reconciling the world to him not counting people's sins against them and he has committed to us the message of reconciliation so we are ambassadors for Christ as though God were making us up through us we plead with you on behalf of Christ to be reconciled to God he made Christ who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf so that in him we would become the righteousness of God that is we would be acceptable to him place in a right relationship with him by his gracious loving kind so here we see in chapter 5 that first section Paul was talking about how we are living for an eternal purpose so we don't we are not concerned about what is happening in an earthly realm how we have been judged in an earthly realm what we are concerned about is what Christ will say when we stand before women so we live our lives on earth very focused on that judgment that will happen when we stand before Christ and then he goes into this second section of the chapter and here he says it is the love of Christ, verse 14 it is the love of Christ that compels us because we are convinced that one died for all and therefore all died and he died for all that those who lived should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again so basically here he is saying this is what pushes us to do everything that we are doing it is Christ's love that was displayed in his death on the cross and so because he died he set an example that he should be willing to die for his sake and we should no longer live for ourselves but live for him and so this is the new life that we live in Christ we live a life where everything about the way we look at the world, the way we look at why we are living, what is our purpose what are our goals, everything is transformed in this new life we look at eternity the perspective with which we look at life here on earth is from this eternal perspective and the reason we live is for the purposes of Christ and so verses 16 to 21 is taken in that context so from now on the NKJV says therefore from now on so based on this new life that we have in Christ because we are in Christ we no longer live according to the flesh we no longer regard people we no longer view people view you specifically as a church in the way we would have viewed you before we knew Christ we have a new perspective and we view you through the eyes of Christ with Christ's goals for you with Christ's purposes for you and everything we do is from that perspective and from that heart, that love that Christ has for you why he is saying this is to continue to continue to affirm that everything that he did everything that he said, the correction the review that he gave them was coming from this place from a true genuine heart for Christ and for the church for Christ and for the church so a few things here that he talks about is because of Christ's death burial and resurrection how he looks at people and how he relates to God both those things have changed so he says in verse 17 or verse 16 even though we knew Christ according to flesh yet now we know him thus no longer we know Christ himself in a new way we have a spiritual revelation about who Christ is that we didn't have before we were saved so before we were saved we knew Christ in our flesh basically without a full spiritual revelation of who Christ is and then in verse 17 if anyone is in Christ he is a new creation old things have passed away and all things have become new so the way we live life the way we view what we are doing everything is transformed in Christ we have this experience of being born again in the spirit we come alive to the things of God and we made people who are completely new as Roman 6 talks about that old sinful nature has taken away and we are living a new life in the spirit so all this is to say that Paul and Titus and those who are serving the church are doing everything in the spirit they are doing things with this heart of purity with a true compassion for the people and as he said before he knows that he will stand before Christ at the end and so if he is doing something with impure motives or with the wrong wrong motivation wrong thought towards the church then Christ himself will judge him at the end and then from verse 18 onwards they start to talk about this ministry of reconciliation that has been given to him and to all of us as believers, as people who are sent on behalf of Christ to the world now while he is talking about this again he is calling the people to be reconciled to him and to be reconciled to Christ because if Paul is a representative of Christ Christ has sent Paul as an ambassador if the people are not reconciled to Christ's ambassador they can't be reconciled to Christ so Christ has given Paul this message of reconciliation and that message is from Christ himself if they are unwilling to accept it then they are in a sense unwilling to accept Christ himself that is the role of an ambassador we see even when Jesus is sending out the disciples, he says if people reject you, they are actually not rejecting you they are rejecting me then he sends out the disciples with the message of the kingdom and so this is what Paul is saying as well that he is calling them through reconciliation to Christ but to be reconciled to Christ also be reconciled to him and he will continue to talk about that in the next chapter so he says now all things are of God who has reconciled us to himself through Jesus Christ and has given us the ministry of reconciliation so Jesus himself has brought us back to relationship with the Father to right standing before the Father and so that ministry of reconciliation to call people back to relationship with the Father has been given to us and then in verse 19 that God was in Christ reconciling the world and has helped himself so that is that ministry that they have that God himself was reconciling people to himself through Christ and not imputing their trespasses to them and has committed to us the word of reconciliation so through Christ for our sins to be removed for our sins not to be counted against us that was the message that they took to the church in verse 20 now then we as ambassadors for Christ as though God were pleading through us we implore you on Christ behalf be reconciled to God so what is an ambassador does anyone want to answer who is an ambassador or what is the role of an ambassador sorry just think like people say I am a pastor so Jefina shared that word ambassador represents something that is a big or a great responsibility or great role to play a position that is given to someone anyone else what is your understanding of our role as ambassadors representatives yeah representatives so going on behalf of someone so we are being sent to stand as that person would stand before before other people so I will just add a little more so ambassador is a very it is like a government position so it is a diplomatic position where a ruler or someone in authority sends somebody to go on their behalf and to share a message with certain other people and that message that that person shares has the authority of the person who has sent them and should be received with that same amount of care you would give the person in authority you receive it from the ambassador now typically especially in the Old Testament the prophet was seen as this person who had a message from God and was the representative of God to the people in more diplomatic terms and a lot of how it is used in the Old Testament is where when the prophet was speaking God was like a ruler like a ruling king had taken over a smaller a smaller country say and that country had a smaller king so the ruling king coming to the smaller king sending an ambassador to share a message with the king who is serving him so there is a lot of authority and position as an ambassador you are representing someone who is very important and powerful the message you have is very important and is feared by the subordinate because that person will be affected mightily by what is being shared by that message that is being shared in the Old Testament where we see words of rebuke, exhortation, correction calling people back and then giving them consequences just imagine that coming from a ruling king and you are a subordinate king you know that that ruling king has power over you and he has sent this message of warning to you it is something to be really feared and something to be really taken with a lot of gravity so this is that is the kind of language that Paul is using when he is talking about being an ambassador he is coming from the ruler the one true god he is the spokesperson for that that god for Christ who is seated on the throne before whom all angels, all authorities all powers in heaven and on earth power before and he is standing there speaking a message from that ruler so just the gravity of that message should be understood and so he is saying we are pleading on behalf of god why should this god plead with us he is all powerful, all mighty there is absolutely no reason he should come to us with that kind of humility but but Paul and Christ himself come with humility to us and Paul presents that message of we are pleading with you, we are imploring you we are begging you we are calling you back to Christ to be reconciled to god because when you come to Christ you are coming back to god himself so just to understand the humility the kindness of god towards us when we recognize both his power but we recognize that gentleness or the mercy that he has when he is calling us back to himself and then verse 21 he made him who knew no sin to be sin for us that we might become the righteousness of god in him so we understand here what exactly it was that reconciled us to god Jesus himself was god in the flesh, was sinless but he became sin he carried the sin of the world on himself to the extent that he represented sin for someone was absolutely pure and holy and without sin to be equated with sin is something that is so contrary to what we can imagine and what god is himself but in doing this it was so that we could have that state that Jesus himself was in we would be that righteousness of god not that we would be made righteous but we would be god's righteousness itself and there's a quote here from Spurgeon says what a grand expression he makes us righteous through the righteousness of Jesus may not only makes us righteous but righteousness may that is not all he makes us the righteousness of god that is higher than the righteousness of Adam in the garden it is more divinely perfect than angelic perfection so yeah just for us to understand we have been made righteousness because of what Jesus did for us so what does it mean to be made god's righteousness to be blameless to be blameless anything else to be made god's righteousness to be in right standing with god yes thank you so I just want to say that when we say we call the righteousness I think as Rosalind said it gives that right standing to God it is a verse that says now we stand boldly calling him a bow fatter we can go to the throne so that's the privilege that the righteousness of God has given us even though we serve it and sometimes we are simple and it's the blood of Jesus that covers us and I think that's basically what that as Paul says about reconciliation here we can go to the throne that comes to me right yeah so the privilege of being made righteous is to be able to stand before God God's righteousness is perfect right it's the perfect will of God it's the perfect purposes of God all that God desires for the way the world should be the way things should be is where there is perfect goodness there is perfect there is no evil there is no sin there is no darkness there is no sickness there is no disease there is no death and that is the righteousness of God where we become that perfect will of God what we were truly meant to be in God's eyes when he created us and that is because of what Christ has done for us so just as Christ is before the Father is what we are before the Father just imagine that so Christ was sinless and sent to the earth to become sin for us so that we could be as Christ is before the Father to be those children of God to be perfect blameless to be holy to be fully an expression of who God is and so with that Paul goes into the next part of his letter let's see how much of this we can read before we go for a break so chapter 6 let's just read verses 1 and 2 we'll look at that and then we'll come back and look at the rest of the chapters someone can read chapter 1 and 2 chapter 6 we then as workers together with him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain for he says in an acceptable time I have heard you and in the day of salvation I have helped you behold now is the accepted time now is the day of salvation so here in chapter 6 we see another so in chapter 5 Paul says we have ambassadors and now he says we have co-workers so this work that we are doing imagine that we have now been raised to the level of working side by side with this God who is all powerful this almighty God so in this place of authority that we have we want you not to take for granted this grace you've received so verse chapter 5 beautifully describes what that grace is for the church to be made ripe with God and so don't throw this away as worthless or don't let it be something you receive but that has no effect on you instead let it have its full effect on the way you live on the way you respond to that grace so this is saying through the church but it's a message also for us that when we receive this grace how do we respond to it now in 1st Corinthians 1510 Paul talks about the grace he received he says by the grace of God I am what I am and his grace toward me was not in vain but I laboured more abundantly than they all than the rest of the apostles yet not I but the grace of God which was with me so Paul is talking about how he worked he worked so hard because he knew the grace he had received not only to be saved by Christ but to be saved as someone who was persecuting the church before that so he worked harder than the rest of the apostles because he felt that the grace he received was greater because of what he had been doing before he met Christ so similarly to recognize that we have received such great grace and so our response to that grace should be equally should reflect what we have received our gratitude towards what we have received the kind of sacrifice that we make the commitment that we make to Christ the things we are willing to do for Christ so we see that in Paul's life the suffering that he went through the ways in which he did much more than the rest of the apostles going around the world with the gospel in terms of facing persecution in terms of working to support himself in ministry all of those things were sacrifices that he made because he recognized the grace he had received so just an encouragement for us as well in our walk with the Lord how are we making how are we acknowledging God's grace that he has given us and then in our ministries how are we making the same kinds of sacrifices that we see Christ for us how are we reflecting that in our ministries so in this verse 2 I think we can come back and look at that we look at Isaiah 14 9 if someone can be there for us when we come back we will take a break


Hey everyone, thank you so much. We're just gonna do our annual meeting part of this open house Which is the super exciting? logistics Financial presentation, so we have a couple exciting things to mention and all be brief and we will Enjoy our food and desserts so This is Orca media for folks that haven't been here before it's the Community Media Center in Montpelier Vermont That's okay, I mean yeah, that's all right So yeah, I'm my name is Christopher Viersma. I'm one of the co-directors here at Orca media and Along with Zach Zorn and gin and outside So this is our 2021 annual meeting and open house for the Central Vermont community so Orca media moved up to Vermont College of Fine Arts in January 2020 So we haven't had a chance to have an open house like this and we haven't had a chance to welcome the public and Which is also why we're doing the 2021 annual meeting now So we're just gonna mention a couple highlights from 2021 kind of looking back We've got their financials up on the screen, so we don't have to go through the numbers and then we have Announcement exciting announcement to make and Yeah, and then we'll also mention maybe some exciting things happening this year and leading into next so some highlights from 2021 Orca media was the go-to resource for live streaming the governor's COVID updates and press conferences So you may have heard those on vpr vpr was taking our audio stream and so it was a super You know essential service that we were providing and that was an exciting time so Also in tandem with that we you know had to figure out and really Develop hybrid meetings and that was the beginning, you know 2020 into 2021 beginning of municipal and school board meetings going hybrid We were joking that the that was when you started hearing I think you're muted, right so That's you know what has continued to this day and what is now standard and a much more I'd say complicated production set up and a lot more involved as far as staffing and capacity goes But it also has increased accessibility. So that's a huge thing, you know that we are Just kind of coming out of the Montpelier city council did their strategic plan reflecting on how they've had more Engagement through viewership than you know folks actually Physically participating in the meeting. So that's a great thing The Next highlight is that orca media has been part of the Vermont access network, which is the van the advocacy Organization that advocates for all community media centers in the state all 24 of them and we've been since 2021 part of an Advocacy work at the statewide level to allocate statewide allocate state funding to the community media centers and we've had success We were Gifted, you know through the the state $12,000 and then another $24,000. So that's into 2022 And that work continues. So we've continued to work with van to ask the state to allocate money Every year to the 24th community media centers The another exciting thing is that orca media has recommitted to Community engagement in 2021. We really looked at our community partnerships building new relationships with nonprofits in the area with schools and which has led to development of new youth media programs including the Vermont youth documentary lab in the summer of 2021 that was the beginning of that's and our we also began a Relationship with Montpelier high school doing the community-based learning mentorships we also began consulting with schools doing media arts education consulting and This the Vermont youth documentary lab summer 2021 project that was created by the youth Won the Amy Kanzler award for experimental film at the freedom and unity youth filmmakers contest in White River Junction And we'll be broadcasting on Vermont Publix made here series So you can see that in the common room by the couch. That's on a reel of youth media work that we've done over the last couple years Like I said financials are up on the screen take a look 2021 was also the last year last full year of Rob Chapman as executive director who in spring 2022 Took a position as the executive director of webcam in Beverly, Massachusetts And so we'd like to also Bring up Michael a body our board current board chair and We'd like to honor John block. Yeah You may not know this, but you are now standing in the John block Memorial studio And for years he basically Steered the birthing of work and media to an independent nonprofit and That was back in the Adelphia days when it was So The work to do that Kenrick and I were just talking like that that was a tricky proposition and pulled off Year oh 198 2003 thank you So we are we are looking at our we're gonna have to plan our 20th anniversary Coming right up here. So Yeah, John the things I think about with John are just sense of humor and just like Ability to tell a story So I would just like to open up the floor if if anyone has a sharing or a memory or a thought About John Please the time is now. Oh, also, let me mention before Concurrently we'll be rolling out Community producer grant in John's name that will be annual I do believe Yeah, so we're developing a community producer award and grant and the we'll have more details around that and That's super exciting. Also in John blocks name Can we have you come up so we can hold the mic I Needed orca of media He needed to be able to have these topics that were important to him have some place that they were also important to the cameraman or to the audience and I think I was at that point the director of the Lamoyle Family Center And and he said that he wanted me to get on the board because I live right up there at On the top of the hill or by the old meeting house And he was like a pit bull Because if he asked you to do something like that, he won't stop asking you until you either move away and Don't let him know where you've gone or you actually do what he wanted you to do And so I remember some of the John block meetings here I once was teasing him and I was saying we need more gear John I like the orca whale thing, but how about some t-shirts that say block is beautiful He didn't think that was that funny But I think what to me is is interesting about John is that his Depth of personality and interest in so many things allowed Orca to be a more interesting and exciting place to be and I'm glad we've got the plaque for him And I hope I haven't said anything too irreverent about him and on my day with the mic in my own hand But the other thing is he knew that if he got you here, it'd be a hard thing to get away from So I'm still here Hi, I'm Joanne Crowley and I I worked with and for John for a number of years and the comment about pit bull is spot on But the thing that I remember most clearly was His lack of fear in certain situations There was a big meeting with Comcast and there were going to be all these attorneys and he was kind of like bring it on bring it on because he was always well-versed and Passionate about whatever he was trying to get across a point And there was one other thing about John that made him so unique and so special And that is that he was always the first one to give credit where credit was due He wasn't one to you know take praise And hoard it. He shared it so warmly and so fully with everyone that he worked with So it's a pleasure to be here for this event. Thank you Please please I'm gonna hold the mic. Sure. All right my name is Kendrick Kite and I'm the past director of Orca and I was working with John and that transition time when it was up on the hill at Adelphia Not even on the bus line And we had people who would have to come into Orca who had literally get off the bus at the hospital and walk with your gear up to the hill and So that was a big Reason why we wanted to move downtown in the middle of things when we were in city center And it was really John that helped Steer that through as you said earlier is it I did the legwork and you know I was pushing the gas pedal when he was doing the steering so basically And and really couldn't have done that without his guidance his knowledge of the non-profit world and his in his his ability to Pull people together his ability to see far into the distance You know beyond the point where I could see his ability to grasp The concepts of the technology if not the technology itself.

Coming up on DTNS Australia wants to scan your face to verify your age for certain websites Why Google agreed to buy Fitbit and teaching rats to drive cars This is the Daily Tech news for Friday November 1st 2019 in Los Angeles. I'm Tom Merritt and from studio mystery I'm Sarah Lane Drawing the top tech stories from Cleveland, Ohio. I'm Len Peralta. I'm the shows producer Roger Chang And of course, we're very happy to be joined today by Peter Wells tech journalist at Sydney Morning Herald and the age Peter It's been too long. Welcome back. Oh, thank you so much Tom. Yeah, it's really really great to be back We are going to have some good talking today folks. We've already had some about Sarah's need to eat top ramen yesterday and more if you want to get that wider conversation, of course You need good day internet become a member at patreon.com slash DTNS. Let's start with a few tech things. You should know Google began rolling out incognito mode in Google Maps for Android users when in incognito mode Google won't save location information to a Google account update any shared location history or use account data to personalize maps China's three state-owned cellular carriers China mobile China Unicom and China telecom began offering 5g service in the country Pricing is based on speed with China Unicom offering a gigabit per second speed for the equivalent of $45 a month Beijing currently has 10,000 of 13,000 5g base stations installed and the central government wants 5g coverage over Beijing Shanghai Hongzhou and Guangzhou by the end of 2019 China mobile claims will offer 5g service in more than 50 cities this year Sources tell CNBC that NBC Universal's peacock streaming TV service may be free for all users with ads Comcast has said it would make the service available for free to its cable TV and internet subscribers But is not weighed in on non-comcast customers NBC is considering making the ad supported version free for everybody and charging for an ad-free version as well There may also be other tiers of service to pay for with premium content Peacock will air between three and five minutes of advertising per hour Waterfront Toronto has decided to move forward with five months of consultations about alphabets Sidewalk labs proposal to create a 12-acre community on Lake Ontario called Keyside Sidewalk labs wants to show off its smart city technology with AI driven heating and cooling robotic freight Transportation a lot of sensors that kind of thing Toronto's government will maintain control of privacy and data policy for the area All right, let's talk a little bit about Google announcing Friday morning It has agreed to acquire Fitbit in a deal worth 2.1 billion dollars Google SVP of hardware Rick Osterloh Wrote that it is quote an opportunity to invest even more in wear OS as well as introduced made by Google wearable devices into the market and Google makes Laptops it makes tablets or it has its make makes phones makes headphones It has not made its own watch yet. Sounds like now it will Google bought part of fossils research and technology group in January so that will fit right in there for its own part Fitbit wrote that it quote Will continue to put users in control of their data and will remain transparent about the data It collects and why Fitbit also specified that data collected by Fitbit devices will not be used to target ads for Google and Fitbit pledge to remain platform agnostic You're not going to lose your iOS support says Fitbit deal is expected to close Sometime next year's I always like to follow these sorts of stories up with the reassurance of nothing is changing today It'll be months and months and months maybe a year Before this is actually closed and we'll try to do our best to tell you the day that it closed But Sarah it does sound like that Fitbit you've been wearing on your wrist is going to be a Google product at some point Yeah, and I have no problem with that especially if if if the if if If the company is saying nothing will change for iOS users because I am an iOS user And that does matter to me is going to change at least not in the short term That's great Fitbit has done an extremely good job And I am I am currently testing the Versa 2 is my live with that segment over the course of the next three months We're probably about halfway into it now So I have been paying a lot of attention to the the sort of Fitbit activity tracker Ecosystem especially When you compare it to something like the Apple watch and they are different, but it is a very robust ecosystem I would hate for it to change but Fitbit needed to be bought the Rumors were that Google was going to buy Fitbit or was at least sniffing around for months now So this is not a really big surprise. I just yeah I will be interested to see how this changes anything for Fitbit going down the road because we have seen Google buy Independent companies in the past and things have changed Yeah, this is a smart thing for Google to do right which is get into the wearable business by The way they're doing their other things which is they provide the operating system Chrome OS Android wear OS But make their own flagship version and instead of starting from scratch buying the expertise of a brand that's very well respected in Fitbit Yeah Fitbit probably isn't going to hurt from getting the boost of being part of Google They've done a good job of hanging in there But there were some questions if they could really hold out in the wearables market on their own So this gives them a boost Peter, what do you make of this deal? Yeah, I am remembered. Sorry. I remember about two years ago I sat down in the same week with the CEO of Fitbit and the CEO of GoPro And I thought that they were really two interesting Companies kind of on the verge of an existential crisis because they were both seeing their market kind of being eaten away by Smartphones and and the Apple watch and I don't know I just remember saying to the Fitbit CEO that like look mate. You've got to Move into software because now that I own an Apple watch I'm never going to use your platform and I used to love your platform I used to love Fitbit lean into software lean into what you do well or you're dead and Funnily enough that was the last interview I ever got with him Yeah, I just kind of at that point I just thought well, you know, they're gonna get bought by someone and so I think it is a good fit like you said Google Needs a boost in its wear platform because it really hasn't moved much in a long time So and and Apple has clearly become the market leader when it comes to wearables Yeah, it is a bit of a good fit Moving on to some Apple news or some former Apple news anyway Reuters has a story about former Apple wireless chief Ruben Caballero who is now the chief wireless strategist for a company called Kisa if you haven't heard of Kisa The company is developing a wireless chip meant to transfer data as fast as wired transfer by placing two devices next to each other Caballero also wants to get rid of cables inside a phone broken connector wires Say a to a camera for example made inside a phone can interfere with cell reception Instead Kisa's chips would use high frequencies that don't cause interference at all The LG v50 uses a Kisa chip to connect to its second screen and the company is also working with video display makers and LiDAR sensor makers Yeah, this is I mean I think all of us want to get rid of cables, right? None of us want to have cables, especially those of us using dongles for everything with a Mac Pro But I think what's extra interesting about this startup is the idea of getting rid of the cables inside of the phone in order to make it a little less likely that something wears out of breaks and also reduces interference I Mean to me that's a that's a that's a pretty huge Advantage and adds to the durability of your phone Absolutely, and oh sorry go on. No Peter, please go Well, it's just gonna say absolutely and I'm sure Apple would love to you know Squeeze down their devices even smaller as well if they could get rid of some of those internal wires and connectors I mean all manufacturers would You know, I am you know, I joke with friends sometimes where I'm like I don't even know where a pen is or like a pad of paper like I the wireless office is Something that you know was promised to us a while ago And it doesn't really work yet, but we're getting there and this is just one more reason that I'm like, okay We're getting there and so I'm all for it Yeah, and like you say Peter if you've got a little more room in there you can actually Have more battery more room for more battery is great Well scientists at the University of Richmond wanted to study the effect of environment on learning in rats unlike previous studies involving mazes The rats in these studies were taught to drive I'm not joking a robot car kit was equipped with three copper wires connected to an aluminum plate on the floor of the very tiny car and Three copper bars above a rat standing on the aluminum bar and gripping any of the bars would engage the motor One bar turned it to the left one made it go straight one turned it to the right The rats learned to drive after eight weeks of three five-minute driving sessions a week The study would then vary the starting position of the car the orientation of the car where they put the treats and Afterward that when they were done with all of those experiments rats were allowed the opportunity to just drive around on their own With no food present just to see if they would do it One group of five rats and this is the point of the story one group of five rats lived in a large cage with multiple levels and objects to play with and Another group of six rats lived in pairs so three pairs in standard cages And the idea was to see if they had the stimulating environment did they learn faster? Did it affect their stress levels? Versus the ones that just lived in pairs in regular cages the five that lived in the more interesting environment learned to drive faster And we're more interested in driving even after the food was gone Turned out the stress levels were about the same for all the rats You know, I don't know but as a rat lover, I know not not everybody loves rats, but man, this is so cool Just just to you know just to kind of Download the idea that that the rats were so able to Kind of adapt in such a short period of time. I mean, they're smart animals, right? That's that's why They're they're often used in science experiments, but I For for myself welcome our new rat driver overlords Absolutely.  This this idea that that rats just you know pushing levers can can move a car around to get to the treats Is is pretty great and it shows that Stimulation and environment plays a part a lot of times people like wow What does it matter what you put on the walls and how you decorate yourself and It does it matters people respond better to to more stimulating environments. It makes a big difference Well on the subject of Driverless cars or whether you know, you would have nobody or a rat in front of you tech crunches Ed Niedermeyer has a report on a Waymo car kind of the update on on Waymo's Test that's been going on in the Phoenix suburb areas of Chandler, Arizona No driver no driver in this car. This was not on a closed course. It was not pre selected routes It was not a press demo This was a car that was hailed using the Waymo one app for a 10-minute ride from a park to a coffee shop Made by a real person doing a real thing in the real life These cars are now available for for a few hundred members of Waymo's early writer program The writers must live in a certain zip code can only get driverless rides within a geo-fenced area So it is still limited, but it is real. They also must sign NDA's They're not charged for the ride as well His ride started with a call to a human writer assistance team to address any Any questions Niedermeyer wrote that he was impressed by how it handled a non-protected left turn Even inched forward at stop signs to indicate it meant to proceed and was over Also overly cautious at trap at traffic spacing and what he called overactive path planning Kind of just sounds like a cautious driver to me the things that it didn't do as well And neither by even sounds like the kind of thing that you'd want your Uber driver to do if they were it by in the wheel Right, you know, you're like I'd rather you'd be cautious than weird and Niedermeyer wrote that well These are weird things that you don't expect normal people to do but Niedermeyer even said he's like most people probably wouldn't have even noticed them It's just that he's paying close attention. He's like, okay I don't know if a human driver do that so and I found this fascinating because He was already moving on in his article on the idea of okay So what should the experience be when you get into one of these cars, right? He's like I'm now in this car that feels like a dream because no one's driving it But it's making left turns and keeping pace with the other cars And he's like I'm already on to to the idea of like how do you make sure that the environment works? Like what is the interface people should have when they're in the car? Where should they sit should they have human action interaction at all points because we're used to talking to a driver and saying Oh, hey, can you you know let me off here that sort of thing like now we're getting to those kinds of questions. I think that's fascinating I Think also what's fascinating is you know the The idea that the car is being overly cautious you go well, that's good of course, you know You want you want you want that with the driverless car You want it to be you know as safe as possible because we're all trying to get used to you know our new normal But if that was a person behind the car You might be like pick up the pace man like we might be you know having to sort of Recalibrate to a safety first version of driving that humans have have have not been respecting for a long time Peter would you get into one of these I? Would I would and I am you know I drive like an old man But so so I would very much appreciate a slow driving driverless car But yeah, I like that idea of actually that driverless cars means the rest of society needs to kind of slow down and pay a bit more attention because I'm I'm terrified of other drivers on the road I'm much I would feel much happier with a bunch of driverless cars than some of the people I see driving and texting and speeding and all of that kind of stuff Yeah, driverless car can text while driving because it can multitask literally But I mean something as simple as saying well the speed limit is 65 miles per hour, right? Okay, well you could you could do that You could go a little under there and hopefully stayed to the right of the road or you could speed But driverless cars aren't going to be able to do that. They can't do that legally so we're gonna we're gonna have a reality where things are actually Working much more on the grid Then then what humans actually do which is I don't know it's kind of fascinating to me And I I don't know how it's gonna work. I'm sure people will grumble about it But you know in general safety first Cove a caveat here, of course, this is a small area pre-planned route in a dry state I mean, we're not saying driverless cars will go everywhere tomorrow But this is a significant moment. I thought it was worth paying attention to like wow You we've got people getting into cars that don't have any humans in them right now And that's pretty that's pretty amazing Apple TV plus launched Friday for four dollars and ninety-nine cents a month Though you get it free if you bought a phone tablet Mac or Apple TV from Apple since September 10 Launch titles are the morning show see for all mankind Dickinson snoopy in space ghostwriter Helpsters as well as the documentary feature the elephant queen and Oprah's book club talk show Dickinson has the whole season for all mankind just has three episodes and will come out weekly Other series vary on on that as well Most of them are weekly the shows are available to download for offline viewing some users are already reporting trouble getting the free offer Mac rumors comm says if you're having this trouble go to TV dot Apple comm and log in on your desktop using your Apple ID The free 12 month Apple TV plus subscription offer should then be available and then after accepting it on the website You can go back to your iPhone sign out of the Apple TV app close it relaunch it sign in again And then you should see it there Apple says customers need to have their device updated to the latest version of iOS Which may be causing some of these issues, but it's there in a hundred plus countries worldwide Who's excited? I'm excited if there are shows that I want to watch, you know, just like any other service You know, we've been talking about Apple TV plus for some time even before it was called Apple TV plus and You know now that it's here. It's almost like wow really okay, cool And there are some shows that I mean I haven't seen any of these shows. So I have zero opinion There are celebrities that I you know and actors and actresses that I Like and respect that are that are part of some of these vehicles. So I I hope it's a good thing But I I mean, I think it all depends on what's the hit. What's the hit, you know What's the hit that you know that Hulu had or the Netflix had or that Amazon? Had and the Apple needs the same thing Yeah, I think the AB club has got some incredible reviews of all of Apple TV's content So if you are interested, I think they've written up some of the best stuff so far And they haven't been particularly kind to most of the shows that that Apple have launched Although they they do say for all mankind is absolutely a fantastic show to at least try out So, yeah, that's that's the only one of the least that I am interested in obviously Ronald D. Moore You'll watch whatever Ronald D. Moore makes if you were an old BSG fan. So Yeah, that's that's all I'm Kind of here for at the moment, but I guess that's all you really need like I mean HBO has gotten Gotten along very well with just one key show that everyone needs to watch that, you know, it's part of the conversation that You know and obviously Netflix goes the other way where they have so many shows you can't even keep up But yeah, I think if Apple can just make sure even if they spend a helluva lot of money and make Apparently the morning show is terrible But you know, they can have these failures as long as they have just that one key show that becomes part of the Zeitgeist that we all need to talk about and we all need to watch Well to wrap this up my wife loves the morning show. She's she got a sneak peek at it from Ron tomato So she's she's going against the the current there Everybody seems to agree about for all mankind and the point of this is Most of the Apple users out there probably upgraded some piece of equipment since September 10th Because of all the new equipment that came out So a lot of people are getting this free for a year Students get it as part of their Apple music subscription now So Apple is is building up a bunch of people into this universe very quickly Especially as it's going to continue to sell these new devices Into the holidays it almost doesn't matter what quality these shows are at the top people are just going to have it They're going to experiment with it. And like you say, they'll probably find one maybe two that they like Hey, folks, if you want to get all the tech headlines each day in about five minutes Be sure to subscribe to daily tech headlines dot com Australia's Department of Home Affairs has proposed using facial scans to confirm a user's age before letting them access adult sites like gambling or porn The idea would be to match the facial scan with home affairs data like a driver's license photo Which are part of the document verification service and face Verification service being set up to fight identity theft. So you'd be using that service for another purpose Of course that service is not up and running yet It's waiting for the passage of the identity matching services bill of 2019 Which was just rejected by the bipartisan joint intelligence and security committee because they wanted it to put in better privacy Safeguard so you're not going to get any of this right away, but Peter what what's your feeling on? Australia approaching this in a different way than the UK did but the UK ended up backing off of its plan Yeah, it's bizarre the way we're heading down this path after the UK spent I think two years trying to to push this through and after two years And I don't know how many pounds or euros that they spent on it. They decided that it just wasn't worth the effort Yeah, in terms of the entire so yeah, you do have to look at this as of course the the porn angle gets all the dimensions and the clicks Because that's the interesting side of the story But it is part of an overarching and kind of scary bill that that was introduced and I don't know In the words of Bart Simpson, I don't have pride in my government for once, but I do have less shame that they rejected this bill outright like that the bill itself was kind of pushed through by Peter Dutton who is a very Defensive figure in this country. He's he's not a very well liked politician in most capital cities So and of course, you know, he's lovingly referred to as the potato because his head kind of looks like a potato So when when the news first came out, Twitter was just full of people like drawing smiley faces on potatoes And holding them up to their webcam. So Yeah, it was very quickly kind of rejected and mocked and I think that the public sentiment there was Thank thankfully there was that porn angle or that that's silly angle to for everyone to kind of suddenly mobilize and It meant that there was so much pressure put on the over overall bill that Yeah, as you say the bipartisan committee just said look this this bill is so badly written. It has no Protections in place for what you're trying to roll out because yeah, so Peter Dutton is also in charge of borders So what he was wanting to do was basically put on facial recognition cameras that they're using In the passport areas of airports on like in every shopping mall. It was a little bit scary so I'm glad to see that the the entire bill was rejected outright and You know, we as Australians we accept a hell of a lot more kind of Intrusions into our privacy than I think Americans would ever do Why do you think that is? Honestly, I don't know. I don't know. I just think that you've You've always had the idea of you know, Liberty and and free speech and all of those kind of things built into Your very being whereas, you know, we don't have free speech in in any part of our I mean, we do have free speech as a concept, but it's not written down anywhere like it's and You know, it's one of the reasons and we do have actually very strong defamation laws, which means You honestly can't say a lot You can't say the kind of things that say South Park gets away with we could never have a show like that on Australian TV So, yeah, it's it's an interesting It's one of those things where we differ very much as as people but Even so even so we've had there have been times in our history. They're back back in the 80s. I'm old enough to remember this but back in the 80s The Labor government actually wanted to introduce what they called the Australia card, which would be Basically like a driver's license, but with all your other information attached to it So your social security and your Medicare details and all of that kind of stuff And you had to the idea was that you had to carry it at all times and you could be it could be scanned at any point And again, that was one of those things that I have no idea I can't remember why it was introduced or discussed But it was outright rejected after a really long and bloody battle of this is insane This is an absolute overreach of of of kind of looking into our privacy. There's no way We're going to accept that so I kind of kind of do feel that this is going to be the same way that this bill plays out that a very very tough on crime tough on borders Former ex cop like Peter Dunne is gonna try his best to get this through because this is clearly his passion project But the rest of the country It helps that he's doing it because no one likes him I think the rest of the country is probably going to Reject most of most of what he proposes and and and to be clear like this isn't Collecting faces. This is saying we already have this stuff on record. We want to use it for these purposes So I think the idea of using it to fight identity theft probably not controversial Using it to then log whether your can log into a gantt Let's just say gambling site to be even less controversial That's something people like wait. So what are the privacy protections? Like, okay? If you want to make sure to verify it's me fine, but then where is that stored? How is it used? Who else can access it? And that's why it got rejected for being too vague and I think that's probably right Hmm. I think the the the one thing to take away from this is voting is really important So if please America if you haven't enrolled to vote yet Enroll to vote and next year vote because we're all watching and we're a little concerned and that's all I'll say Well, you know some people who are concerned but are also our allies certainly on this show are The people who participate in our subreddit you could submit stories and vote on others at daily tech news show dot Reddit comm we also have a Facebook group It's fun join it if you haven't already Facebook comm slash groups slash daily tech news show Let's check out the mail bag. Let's do it Scott wrote in about our conversation yesterday And it was you know largely in part of you know my sort of harrowing last week and it sells service being down and and and you know what wanting To understand what companies that we're supposed to blame Scott says, you know, it works when the power goes out long after cell phone batteries and tower batteries and generators go down My landline Not the VoIP lines from bondage and cable companies But an honest to goodness copper pair from the telco Telephone lines are self-powered and around here at least where Scott lives are often buried So they keep working where everything else has stopped. It's a tried-and-true technology that exists and is available now Not in my house. It's not We've just been moved to the NBN and part of that the national broadband network Which I know you guys have talked about a hundred times, but part of that is they cut your landline. So oh damn Yeah, and and landlines can also go down and landlines are going to help Sarah when she's Evacuating from her house on a mandatory evacuation From her car to check to make sure her mom is headed in the right direction So yeah landlines are great in emergencies in a lot of cases But I don't think that excuses the carriers from not putting in proper battery backups And not making sure that they can extend the time that mobile service is available Which is which is what our story was about yesterday. Yeah, well Scott, I mean you make a good point and landlines are a dying breed and It's funny when somebody else asked me on Twitter. Well, did you have a landline? You know if you had to call somebody and I was like, huh, I don't know I didn't ask I don't think anyone had one So, you know, it's kind of a funny thing that, you know, we're all kind of dealing with in times of strife Yeah, and and and honestly like, you know loudspeakers also that you you know that you have in your house Could could help too that there's there's lots of things that can help, right? But but I don't think that excuses the mobile companies from getting out of doing something that would have helped people in an emergency Absolutely not. You know who does help our patrons, especially our master and grand master level patrons, including Chris Allen, Ken Hayes, and Brad Schick All right, let's check in with Len Peralta who has been illustrating today's show. What have you drawn Len? Yeah, you know, I'm glad to hear that Australia kind of wised up and didn't You know kind of rejected the idea of facial recognition for gambling and porn sites So, uh, but in case it ends up coming back up again I think that uh, this is something that I think we should all maybe consider at least if you're in Australia Which is uh, I'll just call it the spank shield the official aussie spank shield Which is basically just a bunch of masks that protect your identity and line This is Articorps set up for Australia. You got your Russell Crowe. You got your Nicole Kidman Your Chris Hemsworth that you can wear while you're looking at gambling with porn sites Or basically just a koala that fits both male or female So it was interesting to find out when they ended up launching this five years from now that only koalas were logging into gambling It's a very interesting thing. Yes a very interesting scenario. So, uh, yeah, this might be a good, uh Something to put up on the wall just to remind yourself that maybe eventually we may all want to be fitted for koala masks I mean, I could just cut them out Can I get a print size version please? Yes We're all gonna we're all gonna do this. This is all gonna be part of part of uh, it's gonna be just like government issued I think um, but this is available right now in my online store also at my patreon patreon.com Forge slash Len and I also just want to remember remind people that the naming rights for the dts rise of skywalker inspired poster Is still available. You can go to my store and lend for all store.com It's right there on the front page You have until 11 15 to get your name on the poster and it's a really cool collectible too. So there you go Oh, Len great work as always. I mean, we're just an awe of your Of you know, I wish I was a drawer, but I don't know. But you know, I'm just thinking of protecting all of us That's all I'm doing. That's why we have Len, you know and koalas who's what not to like speaking of koalas Hey, peter wells Good to see you today. Um, it's been too long Let folks know where they can keep up with the rest of your work Okay, uh, yeah the easiest place is twitter, of course. Um, I just deleted my facebook account, which feels so good Please do that if you can.

You are in fundamental belief number 19. And before we start, maybe we'll pray. Josiah, do you want to pray? I pray? Okay, let's pray. Thank you, Lord. Please help us to learn of you today because we ask in Jesus' name. Amen. Children, the fundamental belief number 19 is the law of God. The law of God. Do we have rules at home? We do. Do you have a rule at home, Josiah? Yes. Like what? Sharing. Sharing. It's good that you share. So now we are going to find out what is this law of God. What is this law of God? Because it's the 19th fundamental belief. What is this law of God? So remember, the law of God is the 10 commandments.  Okay. Now there's a set of 10 commandments but grouped into two. The first group tells us our relationship with God. It protects our relationship with who? With God. And there are four of them. So we are going to name ten of them. Is ten a big number? No, it's not a big number. So let's start. Number one. Law number one. What is this, Josiah? It is, I am the Lord God God which brought you out of the land of Egypt out of the house of bondage that shall have no other gods before me. What does this say? That God is our business to be clothed. What is commandment number two? Kind of to tell us commandment number two. If I have the microphone. Commandment number two.

Hello friends. So welcome to another session of problem solving on consistency of system of linear equation into variables. So the question is find the value of a and b for which the given system of equations has an infinite number of solutions and the equations are 2x plus 3y equals 7.  This is equation number 2 and for consistency is consistency means whether the given system of linear equations has a solution or it has infinite solution or it has no solution. So we had three conditions, right? Now in this case it is asking whether they have infinite number of solutions and for infinite number of solutions for an equation which is given by a1x plus b1y plus c1 equals 0 and a2x plus b2y plus c2 equals 0. Let us say these were the two pair of linear equations given to us. Then for infinite solutions, infinite solutions that also means that the lines are coincident. So hence in that the condition is a1 by a2 must be equal to b1 by b2 and this also should be equal to c1 by c2. Where a1 and a2 are coefficients of x, b1 and b2 are coefficients of y and c1 and c2 are the constant terms. Mind you the two equations have been expressed in such a way that all the terms are on in the LHS left hand side and only 0 is on the right hand side, right? So make sure that this standard form is maintained only then you can write this condition. This condition is also valid if the constant terms, both the constant terms of the two equations are on the right hand side. So you have to make sure that either all of them are, all the terms are on the LHS like this or you could have also got the same condition if this was the case. That is, let us say if you have expressed it like that also, then in this case also this condition would be valid. Okay, now let us now take these two given equations and apply these this condition of infinite solutions and then solve for a and b. So what is a1? If you see a1 is 2 and a2 is a plus b plus 1, isn't it? And this must be equal to 3 which is b1 divided by a plus 2b plus 2 and this must be equal to. So hence here if you see 7 is on the right hand side. So to get it in a standard form, you should have written it as 2x plus 3y minus 7 equals 0. Okay, and same with here also. But then since both of them are on the right hand side, I can use the same condition, right? So I can write very much as 7 upon 4 times a plus b plus 1. Because both 7 and this term is on the right hand side. If both of them would have been on the left hand side also, then also the same condition would have been valid. Now we have got these this equation. So there are three equations basically in this. So this item is equal to this one. You can get one equation from here and then you can equate these two. You can get another equation from here or you can equate these two together. Yeah, so whichever way you want you can equate. Let us take first two terms. So hence I can equate first two.   Isn't it? So hence if you solve it, it is 2a plus 4b plus 4 is equal to 3a plus 3b plus 3. Simplifying you will get a and then minus b and then so basically what I am trying to do is you can shift all of them on the right hand side and you can get 3a minus 2a that is a. 3b minus 4b is b and 3 minus 4 is minus 1 equals 0. Let us say this is equation number 3. Okay. And now let us also equate these two, the last two. So hence what will I get?  Okay. Now let us cross multiply once again. So this will imply 3 times 4a plus 4b plus 1 equals 7 times a plus 2b plus 2b. So this will be nothing but 12a plus 12b plus 3 this will be equal to 7a plus 14b plus 14. So let us simplify once again. So this implies 5a 12 minus 7a and then 12b minus 14b is minus 2b and plus 3 minus 14 is minus 11 equals 0. Let it be equation number 4. Right? So let us rewrite the two equations. I have a minus b minus 1 equals 0. This is equation number 3 and I have 5a minus 2b minus 11 equals to 0. This is equation number 4. Let us multiply the first equation by 2. This will eliminate. Now let us, this particular example can also give us opportunity to solve a linear equation in two variables. Here a and b are the variables. So if you multiply the third equation with 2 you will get 2a minus 2b minus 2 equals 0. Now you subtract third and let us say this is 5. Yeah. So if you subtract this will become minus this will become plus. This will become plus and hence if you add you will get 3a. This will become 0 and this will become minus 11 plus 2 is minus 9 and this is equal to 0. So hence 3a equals 9. So a we get as 3. Okay. Now the moment we get a is equal to 3. We can deploy this in the equation number 3. So from 3 I can write from 3 what can I write? I can write 2 into 3. No. 2 is not required actually. So the equation was simply what was the equation? Equation was a minus b minus 1 equals 0.  So b is equal to 2. Is it? So let us check whether this is correct or not. So let us find out all the values here in this case here. So this will become 2 upon a plus b. So a 3 plus 2 plus 1 should be equal to 3 upon 3 plus 2b is 4 plus 2. Okay.  So if you see this is equal to I am just doing it here. So 3 upon 6 3 upon no sorry this is 2 upon 6. This is 2 upon 6 which is equal to 3 upon 9 which is equal to 7 upon 21 which is all or equal to 1 by 3. So hence that means our value of a and b are correct. So a is equal to 3 and b is equal to 2 is the solution. So for a equals to 3 and b equals to b equals 2 this system of linear equation will have infinitely many solution infinitely many solution. Okay. For what value of a? a is 3 and b is 2. Hope you understood the process. Thank you.
