Okay, welcome back everyone. And I'll try keeping my video on for a bit. I have started recording the lecture of this, the recording of this lecture and let's see. I'll keep my video on and and if I need to I can turn the video off. All right, so let's resume from where we pause before the break. We, in our previous lecture, we tried to understand the interplay or the interaction between the sovereignty of God, the grace of God and our faith in God. So we just try to understand how all of these work together.  That's the norm. But there are exceptions and God will do the exceptions because he's sovereign. Nobody can question. And he would do things outside the norm. And minister extend his grace as he chooses to people. But he's still not being partial because he has made something available for every person. He's still impartial. Okay. Any further questions on that before we move forward to the next chapter? So we're going to go into chapter, we're going into chapter three now. And again, these notes are available in the coursework section that I've put out there. In chapter three, we are going to talk about faith and the ministry of Jesus. That means we want to start with Jesus himself. So the Bible says Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. And so we just go right to Jesus and learn from him. And what we see in Jesus as the Son of God, the incarnate Son of God, when he came into the earth and he lived among us that he taught a lot about faith. And he also, and as you read in the four Gospels, he also engaged with people on the basis of faith. And that's something we're going to observe very carefully. And it is safe for us to conclude that Jesus will do the same thing today. Because the Bible says, and all of us are familiar with Hebrews 13, we're saying that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. He's not going to change. He's not going to say, well, you know, I talked about faith and I engaged by faith with people in those days because, you know, they were not highly informed or whatever. And today times are different. And so today I will do things differently. He has not changed. He will not change. So it is safe for us to say that everything Jesus taught in the Gospels, he will teach the same thing to you and me today.  He's not going to change his teachings. He is the eternal Word. And he's not going to change the way in which he works. He's going to work the same way today. Now, our times have changed. Our, you know, our environment, the world in which we live, has changed. But Jesus will not change who he is and his teaching and the way he works. So as we go through observing Jesus in the Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, just look at, you know, what did Jesus teach? How did he engage with people around faith? As you observe him, just keep this in mind, hey, today Jesus will do the same thing. If he came today and he spoke to you and me and he engaged with you and me, he'll do the same thing, not one thing different because he's the unchanging Jesus. Right? So, and just for our, you know, the purposes of learning and teaching, I have put these down as statements, you know, there are about 12 statements or something in this chapter. And we're just going to go through them statement by statement. But they're just, that each statement is capturing a certain aspect of what Jesus taught or did around the subject of faith. Right? So it's just statements that I've put, put down just for the purpose for our learning. Okay. So number one, the first statement. And if you're following with me in the notes, it is on page 21 in the PDF, the chapter three notes. So number one, we see that Jesus recognized and responded to faith in those who came to him. That means when Jesus came to him, he saw the faith that was in their hearts. He recognized it. Hey, this person believes me. This person believes he recognized faith. And he responded to that faith. He didn't ignore it. He didn't turn away from it. You could say that faith in their hearts got his attention. Did that person believes and just give some examples? You know, one is the Roman Sancturian. This is in Matthew chapter eight and worse, 10. Now the Roman Sancturian is interesting because he was a non Jewish person. So you remember that in his earthly ministry, Jesus primary focus was the Jewish people. And then after his death, resurrection and ascension, the gospel was expanded to the whole world. But here was a Roman Sancturian, a non Jewish person who came to Jesus. And Jesus commended him. And what he saw in him, he said, I haven't seen such great faith, not even in Israel. That means not even among the Jewish people. He says, I've seen, I see this man. He's got such great faith. So imagine a Roman Sancturian, a, you know, a non Jewish man. He was a soldier. He was, you know, he must have been a tough man. And he's saying, this man has great faith. So he recognized faith in the hearts of people. We see in Matthew chapter nine and verse two, the paralyzed man who was brought by his old friends. And the Bible says in Matthew nine, verse two says Jesus saw their faith. And he said to them, he said to the paralytic, you know, paralyzed man, son, be cheerful. Your sins are forgiven. This is Matthew nine verse two. Jesus saw their faith. How did Jesus see their faith? He obviously saw it. These four people, four friends made all the effort to carry their friend who was paralyzed all the way to the house where Jesus was. And when the house was full, they didn't get discouraged. They just got onto the to the roof and they made a way through the roof. So it can imagine it must have been a tiled building. And so they just, you know, moved all the tiles away and they let his friend in. Now, why would they go through all that trouble? Obviously, they believe that if they got their friend to Jesus, Jesus would heal him. And so the Bible says Jesus saw their faith. Same thing with a woman with an issue of blood. You know, she she'd been in that condition for 12 years. She'd been to all the doctors of her time. And as she was not well, she was didn't get better. But she made her way through the crowd. And again, here it says, Jesus told her daughter, your faith has made you well. Your faith. Same thing with a woman from Kenan. And again, here's a woman who was a non Jewish woman. When she came to Jesus on behalf of her daughter. So her daughter was troubled with demons. And she came to Jesus. And Jesus, you know, again tells this woman, Matthew 15, verse 28, woman, great is your faith. So these are just a few examples. And like this, you can see many examples in the Gospels. But the main point is this point number one, Jesus recognized and responded to the faith in those who came to him. And he will do the same today. He will do the same today. He sees the faith in our hearts. And he will respond to the faith that we carry in our hearts. He will. He's the same Jesus. Secondly, we see that in his ministry, there were times Jesus asked people, you know, he asked people if they had faith in order to receive. So he asked them, do you have faith? So we first put down two examples and first one is in Matthew 9, 2029, you know, two blind men come to Jesus and Jesus asked them, do you believe that I'm able to do this? And they said, Yes, Lord. So he's asking them, do you believe? Do you believe? So he's asked people, do you have faith? Do you believe?  And Jesus says, if you can believe, if you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes, that means in your situation, and his situation was bad, he had a son who was very troubled. And at that time he had brought his son to the disciples and they couldn't help him. And so obviously he's pretty discouraged. He must have, you know, felt let down, whatever. He was very discouraged at that moment. So he cries to Jesus and says, Lord, if you can do anything, please help me. Jesus turns it around to him and says, it's not about whether I can do anything. Obviously Jesus can. So he turns the thing around back onto the man and says, if you can believe. So you just look at the interaction. The man first says to Jesus, Lord, if you can do anything, please help me. So he's putting the, you know, the obligation on Jesus says, if you can do anything. Jesus turns around and says, if you can believe. So it's not a question of whether God can do. It's not a question of God's ability. He's saying, if you can believe, can you believe God? If you can believe. So it's all things are possible. He says, look, it's not about my, it's not a question about God's ability. It's a question about, would you believe? So Jesus turns it around, tells the man, if you can believe, all things are possible. It's a done thing. If you can believe, it's done. All things are possible. Right. Now we'll come back to the response and we will look at some of these things in detail. But that's the second point I want to highlight, which is Jesus asked people at times, do you have faith? Do you believe? And so you can, you know, if Jesus was here today, he would ask us the same thing. When we are in our situations of need, when we are in our situations of difficulty, and we want God to work powerfully in our lives to a miracle, change our situations, bring provision, heal. He's going to say, do you believe? And we have to be in that place, we will say, yes, Lord, I believe because I leave your word, you've given me a promise. Okay. I see the biggest question in the chat. I will come to that. We just go forward a bit if you come to that question. The third statement I want to make here is this, that Jesus encouraged faith, even in hopeless situations. So when things went, the situation went from bad to worse, what were Jesus' response? What was Jesus' response? We see that he encouraged people to have faith. And things went from bad to worse. So he didn't change plans. So guys, faith works, when things are easy, but when things are really difficult, sorry, you know, try something else, he didn't do that. Yeah. So look at some examples. You know, we mentioned J.R.S. This is in Mark chapter five versus 35 to 36. Mark chapter five was 35 to 36. You know, J.R.S. comes to Jesus. He's a ruler of a synagogue, which means he's a very religious man. He's a leader of the synagogue local assembly of believers there. And he comes to Jesus.  So please come to my house, just lay your hand on her. And I know she will live. So Jesus is making his way with J.R.S. to the house. And there's a lot of people, a lot of people around him, there's a crowd. And while you're journeying, about making the way news comes, some people from J.R.S. house come to him and say, you know, J.R.S., it's gone bad now. She's dead. She's dead. So don't need to trouble Jesus about this. In other words, they are saying, case is closed. It's gone. She's gone. So don't bother Jesus. It's very interesting to see Jesus' response. Mark five verse 36 says, as soon as he heard the word, as soon as he heard the word, which means there are no second thoughts about this, Jesus didn't have second thoughts on how to respond to such a matter. As soon as he heard it, he told J.R.S., fear not. Only believe. Don't be afraid. Only believe. That means things have gone from bad to worse. The girl was almost dead. Now she is dead. Jesus saying, fear not. Only believe. So would Jesus have the same thing today? In similar situations? The answer is yes. He hasn't changed. So today, in our life situations, when things go from bad to worse, what would Jesus tell us? When things go from little hope to no hope, what would Jesus tell us? Fear not. Just believe. Same thing in the case of Lazarus. Lazarus died. His sisters, Martha and Mary, sent a message to Jesus saying, Lazarus is dead. Please come. Now the news probably, actually, they may have informed Jesus prior to his death. We don't know.  The one whom Jesus, Jesus friend was sick. But Jesus waited. He was in Bethany, a different town.  I'm going to go make him out of sleep. And so three days later, actually, it's on the fourth day, four days later, Jesus reaches hometown of Martha and Mary and where Lazarus tomb is. It's been four days. Four days late. He's been in the grave four days. And Jesus knows or knew what, you know, the Father wanted to do in that situation. So he tells them, you know, move the stone. And Martha says, you know, how can he do that? You know, he's been dead four days. This is in John 1139. But notice what Jesus says in John 1140. He says, did I not say to you that if you would believe, you will see the glory of God. So here's a very hopeless situation. What did Jesus teach them or tell them? Even in this situation, if you will believe, you will see the glory, which is the work of God, the demonstration of who God is and what he does. You will see the glory of God. If you will believe, you will see the glory. So on both these engagements, Jesus had the people around faith point number three, we can conclude that Jesus encouraged faith, even in hopeless situations. So that's what we do for ourselves. And that's what we do when we serve people. When we are in situations that go from bad to worse. Encourage yourself, have faith, because that's what Jesus will tell you. That's what he'll tell me. It's if you're not only believe.  Things have really bad. What should we do? Encourage them to believe, because that's what Jesus would do. He would say, if you believe, you will see the glory of God. Fear not, only believe, keep believing. That's how people also minister, they're going to do what Jesus would do. And that's what Jesus would do. He would encourage faith, right? I'll do one more point. Number four, after this, we will take questions. Okay. Number four, the fourth statement we want to make is this, that Jesus encouraged people to act their faith. So that's another thing we observe in the ministry of Jesus. He encouraged people to do something that was in line with what they believed. So there would be many times in his ministry, Jesus would tell people, you know, for example, he told the man with the with their hands, stretch out your hand, stretch out your hand to the man who was so to the 10 lepers, and I've just put some examples that the 10 lepers, you know, they, they were, they, they cried out to Jesus saying, have mercy on us. So they're crying out to Jesus, obviously, they are expecting something, but he tells them, go show yourself to the priest.  Now you can imagine these lepers, they have disease on their body. Nothing has changed. They cried out to Jesus. Nothing has changed. Jesus telling them, go show yourself to the priest. Now, why is that in those days, the priest had to check and certify that the leper was clean, and only then the leper integrates back into society. So that's the process. He said, go ahead with that process. They ever looked on, on at themselves, their hands and look, I'm still diseased. But Jesus said, go to the priest. And the Bible says, as they went, they were cleansed, this is in Luke 17, verse 14, as they went, that means they started acting their faith. And then the miracle happened. So in our lives too, many times we need to start acting our faith, start doing something that expresses what you believe. It says as they went, why did they go? Because Jesus said, go show yourself to the priest. So as they went, they experienced the miracle. So like this, there are several examples in the ministry of Jesus, as he was interacting with people, he encouraged them to act their faith. And so Jesus will do the same thing today. As he engages with you and me, he's going to encourage us, act your faith, start doing something that shows that you believe God. You know, whatever you can, in some situations, they may not be much, but in some situations you can, you can start expressing doing something that expresses your faith in God.  You know, you can imagine these lepers, they're looking at their own body, they're still diseased. But they're making their way to the house of the priest, to where the priest lives. And as they journeyed, they became clean. Same thing today, he expects us to act our faith. And as we act our faith, we will see him demonstrate his power. Okay, so four simple things so far that we've observed in the ministry of Jesus. One, that Jesus recognized and responded to faith in people who came to him. Number two, people asked, Jesus asked people, do you have faith? Number three, he encouraged faith, even in hopeless situations. Number four, he encouraged people to act their faith. I'm going to pause here and take questions so far on the things we've mentioned, if anybody needs me to clarify something, we'll be happy to do that. Alright, so we'll start off with Divya's question and then others can come in with their questions. So the Divya's question is, will our faith supersede God's sovereignty? So the answer is no, right? Our faith does not control God. If I can override God's sovereignty, it means that I can control God with faith. And that's not true. Right? So God is sovereign. So my faith doesn't override his sovereignty. My faith is aligned to his promise. Our faith is always aligned to the promise of God. Faith is always aligned to what God has said. So faith will not override God's sovereignty. So we will talk about the parameters of faith. That's one lesson we will do towards the end. That means there are boundaries within which faith operates. And one of the things is faith cannot override God's plan. You know, so for instance, God has determined a time will come when Jesus will return. Now he has determined that time. I cannot say I want Jesus to come today. Sorry, I cannot have faith like that. Right? That timing when Christ will return is something God in his sovereignty has decided. No amount of my believing or my trying to convince God to come today will make him come today. He will come in the time that he chooses. So we cannot override what God has sovereignly kept in his control by faith. But our faith works alongside what God has planned and purpose. Right? So that's why we base our faith on the word of God on the promise of God. And what God speaks to our hearts and we work together with God. Okay? Yeah, go ahead. Go ahead. Why I asked that question was, I was wondering about the Canonite woman who asked for healing of her daughter. So when if Jesus ministry was for Jews alone, why was you know, their diversion that made me wonder actually. Hmm. Understand, understand. So one of the things about the ways in which God works is that God has God has planned things for different. We use the word dispensation. Dispensation means an age, a time period in which God has is doing something. But what we see is in the Bible that people in one age or dispensation are able by faith to get a taste of foretaste what God has actually planned for another dispensation or another time period. So that's what happened when the when the Gentiles like the Roman sectarian and the Canonite woman came to Jesus. See, at that time, God's plan was the program of God was Jesus will minister to the Jews. But God had already planned that in the next dispens or in the next period of time, Jesus would be made available to everybody to the whole world. But he gives a foretaste of what is to come. So that's why he, you know, even these people pulled into their time what God had prepared for a later period by faith. So we see the same thing today. Now, we are in our time period. And the Hebrew six, we are tickets, Hebrew six and verse six says, no, we taste of the powers of the kingdom to come. That means, you know, we can receive a foretaste not everything, but a foretaste of what God has planned for the age to come. This is in Hebrew six, verse five, sorry, Hebrew six, verse five, they, they tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come. That means there is the next age to coming, but we taste of it, we get a little taste of it. So that's a little bit of, you know, insight there on how God works. So that was what was happening at that time. Okay, thank you best. So let's pick up the other questions. We have a question there from John. When we pray for someone with faith, you don't get an answer. Does that mean we do not have enough faith? So that's a difficult question to answer. But here's what I want us to keep in mind that many times, it may not be an issue of faith, but it may be other factors that are around it. For instance, there is the issue of forgiveness.  But then he went on to say, when you pray, when you stand in prayer, forgive if you have anything against anybody else, so that your heavenly Father will also forgive you, your trespasses. So in connection to faith, forgiveness is important. Or we could put it like this. Unforgiveness in our hearts is an hindrance to faith being fruitful. What are the things that keep faith from being fruitful? One, unforgiveness. We also see hate, hating somebody, which of course, this is maybe maybe connected to unforgiveness as well. Because Hebrew Galatians chapter five and verse six says, faith works through love. Or the converse is true. Faith is hindered by hate. So if I say I have faith, but I hate somebody like I really don't, I just hate them. That hate is going to prevent my faith from bearing fruit. So when we are ministry to people, or sometimes even in our own lives, we need to ask God, God, are there things that are hindering my faith from producing? What is it? Right. And we see some of these hindrances to fail. And we will have we have a chapter coming up. We will mention some of these things so that we are aware that we must keep these things out. Because we want our faith to produce. So the answer to the question is, you know, we may not always know. Because that person may not want forgiveness, or that person may carry hate in their heart to somebody, or that person may, there may be other things that may be an hindrance there to faith, keeping faith from producing. So to answer John's question, it may not always be not enough faith, it could be other hindrances to that faith from producing. And so, you know, there's no one answer, but we need to help people, you know, put aside those things. And sometimes the Holy Spirit will reveal to us as we're ministry to people, or even in our own hearts, God will say, Hey, you need to be careful, you need to get that out of your heart, and so that you know, God can work. And that's one thing, you know, I think we must all learn to do to keep a pure heart before God. And say, God, I don't want anything in my heart that's going to hinder your work coming through my life, or keep pure heart before God, keep it clean, faithful produce. Okay. Isaac, we're going to take up Isaac's question. It's faith, a one of gift, that when he gives to us day, so when we need it in situation amongst, I mean, when we need healing, we get faith to receive, we need provisioning other faith to get it. So, Isaac, what we are dealing with in this course is your personal faith, our personal faith. So this is something we carry in our hearts. Right? So God gives a measure of faith to us Romans chapter 12, verse three, God has given to each one of us a measure of faith. So God has put faith in your heart. The moment you and I were born again, and we receive Jesus into our lives, God has put faith in our hearts. So what we are going to learn what we are learning is how to develop that faith, nurture that faith in our lives. And we're all on a journey, we're all growing. And so we're learning. So this is something we carry in our hearts. So this is something we can exercise any time when we need to, but we need to nurture our faith. Right? I mean, if you want to use an example, you know, if we, we all have muscles on our bodies, okay, your muscles on our arms, we all have it. But I can't go to the gym today. I mean, right now the gym's all closed, but and I can't just go over there and try to lift, you know, 100 pounds, you know, put 50 pounds on each side of the barbell and try to pick that off the ground. I have muscle, but I just can't go and pull off 100 pounds or 150 pounds off the ground like that. What needs to happen? I need to develop my muscles. Is it possible? Yes. But it's going to take a little bit of time. I need to train myself.  And then eventually I come to the place where I can lift that. But the mistake all of us make is, you know, we go to the gym one day and suddenly say, okay, I'm going to lift 150 pounds. It's not going to happen. Then we come back and say faith didn't work. No, faith works. But you need to know how to get it to a place to work. And just like our muscles, you can't go to the gym one day and say, I'm going to lift 150. So what must we do? We must over time develop, build faith, strengthen our faith. And like we saw in second Thessalonians chapter one verse three, faith grows. So faith can grow. So our response is to keep nurturing and growing our faith to the place where it's going to be able to do the things we want done. But let's not make the mistake of walking into the gym at random and expecting to be able to lift huge weights. So to answer your question, I said, we're talking about the muscle God has given you. All of us it's on our body. It's in our heart. It's in our heart. It's there. But it has to be nurtured. It has to be developed over time. And we are on that journey. We're all doing that together. And we're going to learn how to engage our faith. Sorry, Isaac, we couldn't hear you. Could you repeat, please? I say your answer is well. And the exercise of our feet increases our feet. Well answered. Thank you. Isaac, we couldn't hear you. So if you don't mind, can you type it in the chat? Would that be okay? Oh, okay. Fine. Thank you, Isaac. Let's go to the next question. Abu Bakrae Tobloba. Okay, I hope I pronounced your name correctly. Abu Abu Bakrae, Bakrae Tobloba. Okay. Is it necessary to act on the fate of the person I'm praying for or my fate is enough to heal or set the person free? So Abu Bakrae, that's a good question. So let me say this, you know, the norm is both of us must be in faith, the one praying, doing the praying or doing the ministry and the one coming to be ministered to. That's why we preach the word first, because that word is going to help people and encourage people's faith because faith comes by hearing.  And then when we pray, both of us can be in faith and pray. That's the norm. Right. So and then the person doing the receiving has to act in faith. Sometimes God may want the person ministering to act in faith as well. But both must be in faith in order to minister. But there are exceptions. The exceptions are sometimes the person coming to be prayed for may not be in fact, or the person praying for doing the praying may not be in a great place of faith. And still the miracle will happen. Now I remember one case. And this happened sometime back. I was I was when I was living in the US. I used to serve in an African American church. And this was in in New Jersey. And then I was also serving with the Hispanic people, the people from Central America. Actually, a lot of them were from Ecuador and they were there. And I remember one particular service. And this was towards the end of the service. And I was actually tired.  So by the time we came to this particular person to pray for, I was actually tired. And I was actually speaking through an interpreter. Her name was Maria, we would call her sister Maria. And she was interpreting into Spanish.  And I think it was the child must have been about two years old. Now sister Maria knew the child because sister Maria was working in the hospital, Robert Wood Johnson Hospital in New Brunswick, New Jersey. And she knew the mother, she knew the child. She knew what happened. She knew that by that time they'd already spent about $18,000 running the tests to find out what was wrong. The child had some growth on the head and so on.  But she knew all of that. They came forward, she came forward, carrying the child and we prayed. Now to tell you the truth is at that time when I was praying, I was very tired.  And I was just doing that. But if you ask me that I feel great compassion, or did I feel great faith in my heart or anything, actually, no, I was actually tired. Maybe Sister Maria was the one who had great compassion and great faith. I don't know, she was interpreting. But if you ask me, I can tell you that, you know, I was I was just praying I didn't feel anything at that moment. I didn't feel anything great. But we prayed and afterwards, you know, we finished praying for all the people were there be close to service. And then right after service, I was going my way and Sister Maria was getting into the car to drop this woman and her child. They were going to go and take her to the metro station. And she was going to go somewhere. But in the car, Sister Maria put her hand on the head of this baby. And the tumors are all gone. It was hardly like, you know, within the hour, right? By the time we closed the service, and they got into the car, the tumors disappeared. And of course, they went back to the hospital to, you know, meet with the doctors and so on. But the point was this that if you ask me, did I have great faith? I would say no, I just didn't feel anything. It must have been the mother's faith who came with the baby. It must have been Sister Maria's faith was translating the Spanish and she was praying in Spanish. You know, it must have been something like that, but got the miracle. So to answer your question there, a boobah cray. The norm is both must be in faith. But there are exceptions where God just works. And he is sovereign. And he will work the miracle. Right. And there's many, many examples like that. Okay, so another question here is from Pema Dadu. What is the significance of Jesus saying your sins are forgiven you to the paralytic man in Matthew nine verse two? So that's a good question. You know, why did Jesus tell this man? I mean, obviously he came for healing. He was paralyzed. But why is Jesus telling him your sins are forgiven? And we don't see Jesus doing this all the time. In some other cases, he healed first. And then he said your sins are forgiven. But in this case, he's saying first, your sins are forgiven. And then he's healing the man. Why? Now, the scriptures don't give us the answer. But here is an inference or something I think is valid to state. Many times, a sense of condemnation, forcing prevents faith from producing. So obviously, these people have great faith. They come all the way. But it is likely that this young man had a sense of condemnation in his heart. He must have, you know, we don't know his story. But maybe he is lying there paralyzed, but he's regretting things he's done in the past. And he has not, you know, undersk, he doesn't have a sense of being forgiven. So what does he carry? He's carrying a sense of guilt, shame, condemnation. And those things hinder faith from producing. Did they have faith? Of course they had faith. Jesus saw their faith. But something had to be dealt with. Guilt, shame, condemnation. So the first thing Jesus tells this man is your sins are forgiven. So you can imagine at that moment, he was released from that sense of guilt, shame and condemnation, his faith was now free to receive. The next thing Jesus says is take your bedwalk. So although the scriptures don't state that, from our understanding of scripture, that would be a valid statement to make in response to Matthew nine verse two. Okay. All right. So we are going to pause now. I know it's only time up. There's one more question from Rebecca. At the time of difficulty, how do we stand in faith? Right. So, Rebecca, it's a very good question. And we, you know, maybe we'll keep it for later because there is a chapter coming up on, you know, how to have strong faith and how to stand in faith through time. So we will, you know, we will address that in detail because it's an important question is something we all face. So we will address that in detail in a coming class. Okay. So let's pause here. We will continue this next week. I want you to just take some time to soak in the things you are learning. For some of us, this may be new. For some of us, it may be something we already know. And it's just a reminder of things. So just refresh yourself in it. And most importantly, begin to use it in your personal life, begin to use it, because that's the only way faith can grow. Right. We have to use faith just like our muscle, just remember faith muscle, you have to use your faith if you want faith to grow. Okay, I want to I'm going to ask somebody to please close us in prayer. We're already over time. So somebody could just do a quick prayer for us and we can dismiss Roslyn. Would you like to dismiss us in prayer? Please. Wonderful. Jesus, thank you, Lord. Daddy, we come before your throne of praise. Lord, thank you for the wonderful word that you have taught us this morning. Lord, help us to grow in faith. Daddy, we thank you, Lord, even as we grow in faith, help us to apply the words that we learn each and every day. Lord, we also thank you for the wonderful pastor that you have given us. We pray your blessing over him. Lord, we thank you and we and I pray your blessing over all the students that are in this session. Lord, we thank you and we bless you. In Jesus' mighty name, we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you, everyone. It's good to have you all in class. Enjoy your next hour. Enjoy your weekend. Grow strong in Jesus. God bless. Bye now. Thank you. God bless you all. Thank you. Thank you, pastor. God bless you. God bless you. God bless you.


In Java, you can put if statements inside of if statements, and that's called a nested if. Here's a program that asks for a price and quantity, and calculates the subtotal, the tax, and the total, and prints them out. Let's run it. If I have a unit price of $4.50, and I order 7 items, there's my subtotal, tax, and total. I'd like to be sure that both the price and quantity are greater than zero. Let's add an if-else for the price. After I get the price, I want to ask if the price is greater than zero. If that's the case, it's okay to do all these things. I could indent all the statements by hand, one by one, but my integrated development environment gives me a helping hand. If I highlight all the lines and press Tab, it indents them all for me. And I can close the if block by inserting a closing brace. I'll need an else block, in case the price is not greater than zero, to print out the message that the price must be greater than zero. And I'll put the closing brace on that block as well. Let's recompile, and when I run again, if I enter a price of $-4.95, the program will immediately tell me that the price must be greater than zero. That handles negative prices. But what happens if I give negative quantities?  So I need another if else to handle that. After I get the quantity, I have to ask if the quantity is greater than zero. If it is, then it's okay to do all of my calculations. And again, I'll press Tab to do the indent, and close my block. Otherwise, if the quantity is not greater than zero, I'll print the message that says, the quantity must be greater than zero, and close that block. I have an if in lines 19 through 28 inside of another if from lines 15 through 31. That's a nested if compile, and run the program with a valid unit price and a valid quantity, and everything works nicely. With an invalid price, I get an error right away. And with a valid price and an invalid quantity, I get an error message telling me that my quantity must be greater than zero. The program is now working the way I want it to, because I have a nested condition, an if within an if. Is it possible to have an if statement inside the else portion? Yes, it is. Here's another way I could have written the invoice program. In this program, I'm asking for both the price and the quantity before I do any of my if statements. Then I ask, is the price greater than zero and the quantity greater than zero? If both of them are true, then it's okay to do my calculation and output. Otherwise, either the price is less than or equal to zero or the quantity is less than or equal to zero. In the else portion, I'm going to nest two one-way if statements. If the price is less than or equal to zero, I give an error message. Then I check to see if the quantity is less than or equal to zero. If that's the case, I give an error message to that effect. There's no else needed for either the if in line 27 or the if in line 30, because the only way I can get there is if the price is less than or equal to zero or the quantity is less than or equal to zero. If they were both greater than zero, I would have handled it here in lines 20 through 25. Let's run this program with valid input first. I'll have an item price of 450 and order 10 of them. Everything works great. If my unit price is negative and my quantity is okay, I'm told that the price must be greater than zero. If my unit price is valid but my quantity is negative, I'm told that the quantity must be greater than zero. And if I enter a negative price and a negative quantity, I'm told that both of them are not valid. There's an important point here. In order to do a good test of my program, I have to test all the combinations of good and bad input to make sure I've covered all the cases. Another thing to notice is the difference between this program and the preceding one. In the first version of the program, as soon as I got an error, I gave the error message. In this program, I wait until I have all the input before I give any of the error messages. Which approach is better? That's a design decision. The takeaway from this video is that it's possible to have an if nested inside of an if or to have an if nested inside of an else. If the design of the program requires it, you can nest ifs and elses inside of one another as deeply as you need to to get the effect you need.


Hello and welcome to the session. My name is Mansi and I am going to help you with the following question. The question says given below are the seats worn by different political parties in the polling outcome of state assembly elections. Now these are the political parties and these are the seats worn by them. Now we have to draw a bar graph to represent the polling results and then we have to tell which political party won the maximum number of seats. So first of all we will see the solution to the first part. So we see that this is the graph. On the x-axis we have political parties and on the y-axis we have seats worn by them. Now we see that drawing bar graph enables us to visualize the relative characteristics of data at a glance. So now as per given in the question we complete the graph. So this is the required bar graph. We see that political party has worn 75 votes, 75 seats. So here we have 75. Similarly for this it is 55, 37, 27, 10 and 37. So this is the required bar graph. Next question is which political party won the maximum number of seats. We see that the seats won the maximum number amongst all these numbers is 75 and the political party that has worn 75 seats is party A. So our answer to the second part is party A. So I hope that you understood the question and enjoyed the session. Have a good day.


Welcome. This is Melissa Armo. The stocks, Washington reviewing the spy afternoon trade that I actually called Friday They're related to the clues and that gapped up on Monday And I wanted to go over this for the last two days. I'm just having time tonight This was really a nice call except for the fact that you had to get out when it was up and That is a critical part of actually treating that is kind of like a lesson 101 and except I know a lot of people when they see themselves up money very quickly Make the assumption That the trade is going to go on to be even bigger That's not always the case and in these kinds of markets when it's very volatile things can change in a dime either way You could be down and up or you could be up and down So let's go over this. So this was a spy option trade that I called on Friday If you have any questions, you can email me at Melissa at the stockswush.com or call me at 9 to 9 3 200 gap Follow me on Twitter Facebook YouTube or Skype So again, if you want to learn how to day trade you can day trade my system using swing trades options or even in and out And you can do options trades as day trades get in and out the same day take a one-day get out the next Or you could do the equity trades and the day trades in the room each morning But if you've ever thought about trading for a living, let me tell you something you can do this from anywhere in the world However, one thing that you have to have is a strategy and a system and a structure It has to be solid as a brick. It has to be a winning system so that you can stay consistent with your trades This does not mean that you win in every trade some trades will be losses but it means that you win in more trades than you lose and That's where the consistency lies the profit. Okay, but there are many different types of traders You have to look at your schedule look at your life Look at the amount of money you have and decide what you want to do And I think it's important to set the proper expectations for yourself. Do not Set low goals for yourself Just be realistic in those goals within the time you want to achieve them And I think that that is something to people think well, you know, I'm gonna do this. I'm gonna start this I'm gonna take $500 and turn into 100 grand in a month. I know there's places out there that say that that is crazy town So you can open up an account you can take a small account You can double that account you can triple that account you can quadruple that account You can grow that account in a reasonable period of time It's not gonna happen overnight and it's not gonna happen in a week It will happen with consecutive trades day by day by day every day chunking it out 100 200 300 400 if you're risking more money, you can grow the account obviously faster with bigger risk Okay, but the trades that everyone's doing in the room whether a beginner or advanced or all the same trades And it's all the same system So the system I teach is called the golden gap course is a checklist boom boom boom I go through everything I rate the gap is how I determine what to do in what direction So how much money do you need? Well for an options account? You don't have to worry about buying power a margin So you can go pretty much to any broker any retail broker and open up an options account I think the minimum opening is $2,000 you can check into that but you can go pretty much anywhere and do that and Then you pay the cost of the option as I will discuss here with the spy one But all of them have to do with the system you learn the system And that's how you know what trades to do with ticker symbols and whether you're buying a call or buying a put So when I'm calling the trades are very simple. He's just by the call by the put I'm not doing any crazy a different kind of option things I'm doing very simple where I'm grading the gap I'm looking to see if it's gonna the stock price is gonna move higher if it does Where is it gonna go and then I call the call or if it's gonna move lower Then I call to buy a put and into that strike whatever the target happens to be so I have a newsletter and I call the trades in the newsletter. You can join the newsletter for the year It's five grand for the year for 12 months subscription and you get the trades email to you Or if you're in the room you could do the trades that I call in the day training room as options if you want now The spy was kind of expensive here. So you might have done this in the room as an option trade But I did call it in the letter Friday night late But you can take market trades ten minutes after the close So, you know she could have got in here anywhere between the time I called it a 410 and then it was immediately up So I called the 280 calls and went through the strike into the open So as I was saying earlier you could have got right out here with profit Which is what I'm gonna go over it now Some people thought it would follow through the market dropped then heavily. This was on Tuesday This was Monday. This is Friday Monday Tuesday's bar. I don't have here But anyways, there was a big drop in the market So if you didn't get out of this trade when it's positive then the trade is gonna lose Because it was only through Friday for the expiration. So as I was saying earlier when you're up in trades specifically when you have a turnaround that is a Decent percentage and very quickly from one night to the next you need to get out with the profit So here was the close on Friday This is late at night Here was in the four and here's the basing and then the market gapping up here And then it based out fell and then here was the day and then this was the next day Here was the buying that I saw it came in really in the afternoon of Friday lifted lifted lifted And then shut up like a rocket here and then I called the trade so this was very late But you can buy the market and I knew that after the close 355 I called it buying was coming into the market into Friday late I called the 280 calls expiring on the 7th and it was immediately up in the gap That will happen sometimes I will call a trade like that and there's gonna probably a lot of trades like that next year That I call where you take the train and then you're up right in the next morning. Just take it out I mean, that's how hard is that? It's really not that difficult. It's quite easy actually you take the trade you get out in the next morning You did two contracts with the beginner risk of 320 bucks The cost to pay was $1.60 per one show if you bought to you paid 320 and sold it at 290 profit was 260 Your return in investment was what? 81% and that is fantastic to take a trade and get out that quickly Then if you did an advanced risk again 20 contracts, which is essentially 2000 shares You would have risked 3200 and made what 2600 bucks again huge 81% return in investment in less than 25 hours That is a good bang for your buck as they said all right and there will be a lot of trades in this volatile market in 2019 that would be calling like that Nice testimonial here from someone on the options letter Particularly the market calls I've been making he said however one thing you're figured out from being in the classes is you're awesome And figuring out the market moves for that day that itself is worth the weight in gold that is true So my system is what tells me though the markets gonna do these things. That's how I knew I saw that I saw the market was gonna gap up Monday. I didn't know how much but I saw it was gonna. Okay Anyways, it's all one strategy that I use and you don't need a margin account if you trade options So the benefits of trading options versus equity trades is what no margin requirements no day trading margin requirements The only cost is the price you pay for the trade You can make active money trading just like equity trades and you can make a good return on investment Some are way more than that flip around but some you're looking for and you just want to get out when you're up a Decent amount because it's so quick sometimes you're up so fast You just got to take it when the market is throwing money into your lap, which this trade was it just went Do and it threw it into your lap you took it and got out of it I mean when the market throws money in your lap, you got to grab it in these volatile times. All right This buy-and-hold mentality is totally defunct and in this market even more So unless you're unless you're in retirement accounts And even then I gotta tell you some of the stocks that people are in in the retirement accounts Not the overall market, but some stocks stock specific. They should dump dump dumpity dump. Okay, that's a topic for another day But options are a way to make money if you cannot be in the live trading room daily It's all about supporting yourself and taking charge of your own finances. No one else. It's you So if you want to learn my method, it's in the Golden Gap course The class is December 15th and 16th 9 to 5 Eastern time cost of the class is 59 99 The class is online. It can be anywhere in the world and take it the combo class is 6499 two classes for one price and if you're gonna do options I suggest doing the trend so you read long-term trends correctly Moffering an early bird special for the December class. You learn the system You would get the options letter and the trading room free through 228. This is a great great idea It's almost three months of the room in the letter and there'll be a lot of nice calls like this with the spies I'm telling you you want to look into it. You want to do it There's an early bird deadline Saturday December 8th for this if you want to sign up Do not delay have a great day everyone and email me if you're interested in the Golden Gap course Or if you're interested in the options letter and don't forget special end Saturday


Okay gamers, big moment for us today. Know why? I don't know. So much stuff can and will happen today. So what I would like to do today, I wanna try and reorganize my island a little bit because it feels very cluttered right now for a few reasons. So I think I'm gonna end up moving people's villages a little bit, villages houses a little bit. We do have the bunny here, which is pretty, pretty spectacular. I'm going to drop all this stuff because what I would like to do, I need to get some cherry. Yeah, I'll get me some cherries because I want to make a little orchard. I think that that would be kind of cute. It's also, it's springtime right now, which means that there's new animals. I want to make a little path thing too. I'm gonna try and make my own. I saw my friend Brady do this the other night and it seemed fairly easy. So I'm gonna try it.  Ashley, I know you're watching this. Please reply to my text. Call out Ashley. You're just called out by your friend. That looks like a rock, right? Does this look bad? Be honest with me. This looks bad, doesn't it? Doesn't it? I can tell. I can tell by your silence. It looks like a pair of boobs. Have you ever seen boobs before? What are you talking about?   I'm deleting all of it. I'm deleting all of it.     I hate it. I hate all of it.   I just wish it didn't suck. There's artists in here. How do you do anything? It looks dumb. It looks dumb. Trying to be an artsy with my shadows.   It's ugly. That's actually kind of cute. Guys, we got them nook miles right now. Oh my god. Look at how many nook miles we got. 4,000 nook miles? Jeez. Is there an easier way to do it? You'll get a path tool in the future. How far in the future? Cause that's annoying. So we're going to start our journey of making a little orchard. Take this cause I know that that's a tree of oranges. Now all of these I'm not sure. You don't need to eat. Now the rocks look good. Jesus Christ. Okay, thanks.  That I'm really putting in the work, you know? We're going to need to build more fencing. All right, for now, we will leave it like that. Okay, now I need my trusty shovel. Don't break, please. How many fences? Okay, I have 14 left. All right, here we go. Chat, trying to think of how I want to plant these. I'll just do it like this. So I want them to be equidistant. Any more apples? Hardwood, hardwood, and no more apples. All right, so then here, we're going to have orange tree. Don't want it to be there. I wish that you could do use like the designer.  And the nice thing is that I can use these for reference because you need to give them enough space apart or else they will not properly. I'm going to make this wider. Pairs, plant a pear tree, a pear tree, and a pear tree. This is turning out nice, guys. I feel like I should have planted, should have made the orchard in a different place. Now that I've done all of this, just because I feel like it shouldn't be as close to the beach as it is, but it's okay, it's okay. You guys think this is cute? Is it good? Making my little orchard? I like mossy wood. Let's go with mossy wood. Okay, how do I get designs, guys? So we do this, this, this, just lay on ground. Just lay on ground. Man, I cannot wait until the, when do I get that? Is this going to take so long? Like having to do that every time? I like that texture though, it's cool. Actually, I'm going to check in with Tom, good ol' Tommy boy, because if I check in with Tom, because now I have the campsites. Eapers, hello, our campsite is in pre-SEF. Already getting inquiries and applications from tourists who want to stay here. Won't be long until we start getting some guests. When the guests want to attend going to the campsite, we start to keep an eye out for that. Start business at the campsite yet. What we need is for the wonders of life on our island. Up to the island, do some weeding, plant some flowers, place the outdoor direct decorations, but what about the stuff I want to do? Just see what the nook shop has today. Ooh, I like that. Surfing KK, let's do it, dude. How many months do I have right now? Let's deposit some. I want to go to another island tonight, another, I almost said scorpion. Well, I mean, they'll be scorpions soon, I think, right, because in the summertime, I think they change from tarantulas to scorpions. But I'm hoping that flick is still here. I don't know how long they'll stay here for, but if I go to flick instead of going to Plumie and Tommy, he'll give me 12,000, 12,000 bells per thing. Where are your turn of prices today? 144, still more than I bought them for, but I gotta wait till it's better. I guess that's all I'll give you. Oh, I do have three apples. I can plant more. 12,000 bells per tarantula. So if I fill my inventory with tarantulas, then it's gonna give me so much money, dude, like 300 grand. I'll be sick. I'm paying my loan. All right, guys, I also had the idea. I'm going to do something that I've never done before, guys. First, I'm gonna pick up these things, but if the stream title has refreshed, I'm gonna let y'all onto my island, okay? But there's a fee of a billion bells, so if you can afford it, come right on. Chaos incoming, yeah. So everybody get ready. All right, baby, you good with that? Yeah, invite anyone. Make it anybody, anytime, anywhere. Baby, open in the gate now. Remember, a billion dollars of bells is the... Looks like someone's on their way. Oh my God. Let's fill up my island, folks. Who's coming in? Nicky from Ponzi.  Oh, did it already fill up? What can I say? I hate myself. Oh, hello, Nicky from Ponzi. Hello, hello, hello. It's gonna immediately, we're gonna sit here for like 20 minutes of it being like somebody's arriving in your island. Hello, hello. Don't put this away. Oh, looks like someone's on their way. Meep'sville, Beaks for Meep'sville. Hell yeah, get in here. Hey, oh, it's an Eunice Honest hoodie. Beaks, look at you. Guys, look at all those pogs in chat. Looks like someone's on their way, God. Oh, everybody's just on their way. Geez, Moe, from isolation. All right, topical.   Jasper from Baylor. Baylor, I hardly know her. I hardly know her, right? Jokes, I just got a notification that Justin, Buff Daddy HD is playing Animal Crossing.  My employee is playing Animal Crossing on a day where he's supposed to be editing a video. That's how he spends company time. Company time, this is how he spends it. Demerit, a demerit is coming his way. And Justin is gonna have to edit the stream, too. He thinks that he's slick. Try to pull a fast one. He'll be hearing from my lawyers that I have. It's good thing Canada has free healthcare because he's gonna need it. Isn't he also your lawyer? You're right. Justin, my video editor slash lawyer. That would be really funny, actually.  Oh, I'm a lawyer, actually. It's like, oh, that's awesome. Yeah, I also edit YouTube videos on the side. Uh-oh. Did it just boot everybody off the island? It might have. Rot-Row, Rot-Row Raggy. Oh, bummer, dude.  All right, well, I'll open it up again. Don't worry. Oh, I'm so sorry, everybody. Wow, lean. It, I don't know how to pronounce your name. It cocks la. It's just butchered. That's so hard. Thank you so much for this song. All right, guys, opening my island back up. Hopefully. This will work this time. There we go, another 10 years. What's that song? Is that a system of the da- system of the da- No, no, no, it's a corn song. Yeah, it's corn, it's corn. Ethan from corn. I wish you guys could spell corn correctly, though. It's not, it's not spelled with a K. It's spelled backwards K. Nicky, for, again! Well, I guess you never, you never got to come in here anyway, so it's fine. You, ah ah ah! You know. Is that everybody? I thought that you could have like seven people on the island. I thought. Yep, there we go. Darth Eater from gym. Anyone else on the toilet? Okay guys. Listen, another person here to play. Get ready to play. People! Mika just dropped her first bit of merger ever. It's really cute pins that she designed and drew herself.  They're really, really awesome. But please go and get them if you got them. Yeah, go and support her stuff. She wants to make more pins. And if these do really well, she's gonna be able to make more. And she's gonna try and do t-shirts and hats and stuff too. But that all relies on if these sell well enough. To be honest, Muffy, what do you think? You don't have a twin, do you? What? This is for you. I'll give you something. Please end the conversation. Well, wait a second. I'll give you an orange. What's happening? Whoever's on my island, come take a picture. Come take a picture, huh? Why don't we take a picture together? Oh, wow. Yes, yes. It's just oof. Wait, I think there's another person joining in. Remember, there's two more people just running in. Friends. Hold on, wait, wait. Everybody stay here. I'm just going to go way back here. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Thank you. Thank you so much for the applause. Appreciate. Are these for me? Y'all dropping these for me?  For me? Gifts? For me? Please close the window. OK, shut up, window.  Give your presents to the hot dog king. Wow, guys, thanks. There's not enough room in my wallet. I can't.   Just saying. Wow. Wow. How many bells is this? Guys, what's happening? What's happening? Ah! Guys, eat the rich, am I right? I'm about to be the richest man in animal crossing. Guys, that'll be the title of this video, becoming the richest man in animal crossing. Everybody come here again. Just trying to manipulate my viewers into giving me bells. To pause it. I'll deposit, I'll close the window in a second.   Guys, this is amazing. Anything for our lord. My pockets are full. Swap it. Piano bench. A tailor's ticket. Wow. Wow, my pockets are full already. OK, hold on, I'll be back. Look, guys, I'm dropping these eggs. Don't you dare take these eggs, all right? I'm just taking them so I can collect more cash. I'm going to deposit my monies, my sweet cash. Looks like someone's leaving. Oh, I'm so sorry. Guys, 326, can we pay off my loan? Well, guys, I'll give you a tour here. All the visitors, come with me, come with me. I'll give you a tour of my island. So here's the orchard that we made here on stream. Wow, pretty good stuff. Here's my house over here. I got a little flamingo. Pretty great, pretty great. Here's Muffy up here. You can talk to her if you want. Got some bamboo here. Got a, uh, let's see. Axel's house.  Wait, stay there and clap for your king. Clap for your king. I see slowly, comes down the steps. Hello, peasants, king. All right, come with me. Excuse me. Everybody, why aren't you clapping? Do they know who they're talking? Thank you, jeez. You're going, you sneezed at me? Ah! Axel on sleeve. Please end any other conversations. Oh, what's that timer? Did the whole session just leave? And? Right, well. Oh, hot dog king had to make everybody go. Looks like we're on a time limit, folks. Didn't realize that. I guess a new squad of people are gonna come. Give me all their bells. I feel both bad because it's kind of a joke, but kind of not because the people give me bells.  So it doesn't really, it's not like I'm actually asking for money, but at the same time it does feel weird being like, hey, if you wanna give me your bells, I mean. So do I need to, oh, everybody's just here. Oh, okay. Looks like someone's other way, again! More people? Fine. From Eunice Onnes. Wow, teary-eyed clown. Everybody over here. We're not going in the museum. No longer museum time, okay? What are you doing? What do you think you're doing? Leaving things for me?  Y'all having a bit? Oh my God! Live music, live music! Wow, I'm impressed. Post-group pic. Okay, here we go. Here we go. We'll do a group pic, and everybody will be experiencing joy, okay? Everybody be joyful. No, not clapping. Not distress, joy. So what are the pigtails? You gotta move over. And also, hello, you should probably move to the left. What are the pigtails in the back? Yeah, move to the right, to the right, to the right. Now, experience joy. Everybody experience the wondrous feeling of joy. Wow. Wow. Oh, guys. Beautiful. It's beautiful. Well, I'm going to peace out. I'm going to end this session. Hotdog King is out. Thank you guys for your bells. Appreciate it. Eepers come. Wait, are there bells involved? Hold on, I gotta see if somebody gave me bells. Okay. Can't miss out on these bells. And they did! 43,000 bells. Delight. Yes, yes, yes. Big brain, big brain, and a cool fossil. Wow. Thank you guys. Thank you so much. Can't get enough joy out of this. Thank you, thank you. Sorry, I feel like I'm stealing from people. Yeah, so much for watching. And I will see you guys later. I love you.


Live from Austin, Texas, it's theCUBE, covering KubeCon and CloudNativeCon 2017. Brought to you by Red Hat, the Linux Foundation, and the Kube's ecosystem partners. Hey, welcome back, everyone. We're live here in Austin, Texas. This is the Kube's exclusive coverage of the CloudNative Conference and KubeCon for Kubernetes Conference. This is from the Linux Foundation. This is the Kube. I'm John Furrier, the co-founder of SiliconANGLE Media, my co-host. Our next guest is Dustin Kirkman, Vice President of Product, the Ubuntu-Conautical. Welcome to theCUBE. Thank you, John. So, you're the product guy. You get the keys to the kingdom, as they always say in the product circles. Man, what a best time to be. They always say that. I don't think I've heard that one. Well, the product guys are, all the action's happening on the product side. We're right in the middle of it. Because you got to have a roadmap. You got to have a 20-mile stair on the next horizon while you go out into the pasture and deliver value. But you always got to be watching for and always making decisions on what to do, went to ship product. Now you got the cloud, things are happening. At a very accelerated rate. And then you got to bring it out to the customers. So you got to kind of, you're living on both sides of the world. You got to look inside. You got to look outside. Well, all three. There's the marketing angle too, which is what we're doing here right now. So there's engineering sales and this is the marketing. All right, so where are we with this? Because now you guys have always been on the front lines of open source. Great track record. Everyone knows the history there. What are the new things? What's the big aha moment that this event largest they've had ever? Not even three years old. Yep. It's great to, I love seeing these events in my hometown, Austin, Texas. So I hope we keep coming back. The aha moment is how application development is fundamentally changing. Cloud Native is the title of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and Cloud Native Conference here. What does Cloud Native mean? You know, it's a different form of writing applications. Just before we were talking about systems programming, right, that's not exactly Cloud Native. Cloud Native programming is writing to APIs that are cloud exposed APIs, integrating with software as a service, creating applications that have no intelligence whatsoever about what's underneath them, right? But taking advantage of that in all the ways that you would want and expect in a modern application, fault tolerance, automatic updates, hyper security, just security, security, security. That is the aha moment, that the way applications are being developed is fundamentally changing. Interesting perspective we had on earlier, Lou Tucker from Cisco, Legend, obviously had some stuff in the computer history museum, CTO at Cisco, and we had Kelsey Hightower, co-chair for this conference and also very active in the community. In the perspective, I'll oversimplify and generalize it, but basically was, hey, this stuff's been going on for 30 years, it's just different now. And so tell us the old way and new way, because the old way you're kind of describing it, you got to build your own stuff, full stack, build all parts of the stack and do a lot of stuff that you didn't want to do. And now you have more, potentially, time on your hands if DevOps and infrastructure as code starts to happen. But doesn't mean that networking goes away, doesn't mean that storage goes away, that some new lines are forming. Describe that dynamic of the, what's new in the new way and what's changed is from the old way. Yeah, I think we've kind of, virtualization has brought about a different way of thinking about resources, be those compute resources, chopping CPUs up into virtual CPUs, that's KVM VMware. You mentioned network and storage. Now we virtualize both of those into software defined storage and software defined networking, right? We have things like OpenStack that bring that all together from an infrastructure perspective. And we now have Kubernetes that really brings that to bear from an application perspective. Kubernetes thinks about, helps you think about applications in a different way. I said that paradigm has changed. It's Kubernetes that helps implement that paradigm so that developers can write an application to a container orchestrator like Kubernetes and take advantage of many of the advances we've made below that layer in the operating system and in the cloud itself. So from that perspective, the game has changed and the way you write your application is not the same as the monolithic app we might have written on an IBM or a traditional system. Yeah, Dustin, you say monolithic app versus, oh my gosh, the multi-layered cake that we have today. We were talking about the keynote this morning where just CNCF got went from four project to 14 projects.  Help us tease out a little bit. What are the ones that, where's canonical engage? What are you hearing from customers? What are they excited about? What are they still looking for? Yeah, in a somewhat self-serving way, I'll use this opportunity to explain exactly what we do in helping build that layer cake. It starts with the OS. We provide a great operating system of Ubuntu that every developer would certainly know and understand and appreciate. That's the kernel, that's the system D, that's the hypervisor, that's all the storage and drivers that makes the operating system work well on hardware, lots of hardware, IBM, Dell, HP, Intel, all the rest, as well as in virtual machines, the public clouds, Microsoft, Amazon, Google, VMware, and others. So we take care of that operating system perspective. Within the CNCF and within the Kubernetes ecosystem, it really starts with the Kubernetes distribution. So we provide a Kubernetes distribution, we call it canonical's distribution of Kubernetes, CDK, which is open source Kubernetes with security patches applied, that's it. No special sauce, no extra proprietary extensions. It is open source Kubernetes, the reference platform for open source Kubernetes, 100% conformant. Now, once you have a Kubernetes, as you say, what are you hearing from customers? We hear a lot of customers who want a Kubernetes. Once they have a Kubernetes, the next question is, now what do I do with it? If they have applications that their developers have been writing to Google's Kubernetes engine, GKE, or Amazon's Kubernetes engine, the new one announced last week at Reinvent, AKS, or Microsoft's Kubernetes engine, AK, Microsoft. Microsoft's AKS, Amazon's EKS. Okay. A lot of TLA's out there always. Thank you for the TLA dissection. If you've written the applications already, having your own Kubernetes is great, because then your applications simply port and run on that, and we help customers get there. However, if you haven't written your first application, that's where actually most of the industry is today. They want a Kubernetes, but they're not sure why. So, to that end, we're helping bring some of the interesting workloads that exist, open source workloads, and putting those on top of canonical Kubernetes. Yesterday, we press released a new product from Canonical launched in conjunction with our partners at Rancher Labs, which is the cloud-native platform. The cloud-native platform is Ubuntu, plus Kubernetes, plus Rancher. That combination we've heard from customers and from users of Ubuntu, inside and out, everyone's interested in a developer workflow that includes open-source Ubuntu, open-source Kubernetes, and open-source Rancher, which really accelerates the velocity of development. And that end-to-end solution provides exactly that, and it helps populate that Kubernetes with really interesting workloads. Yeah, Dustin, so we know Shang, Shannon and the team. They know a thing or two about building stacks with open-source. We've talked with you many times at OpenStack. Maybe give us a little bit of kind of compare and contrast. What we've been doing with OpenStack, which Canonical very heavily involved, doing great there, versus kind of the cloud-native stack. Right, if you know Shannon and Shang, I think you can understand and appreciate why Mark, myself, and the rest of the Canonical team are really excited about this partnership. We really see eye-to-eye on open-source principles first, deliver open-source, great open-source experiences first, and then taking that to market with a product that revolves around support. Ultimately, developer adoption up front is what's important, and some of those developer applications will make its way into production in a mission-critical sense, which open up support opportunities for both of us. And we certainly see eye-to-eye from that perspective. What we bring to bear is the Ubuntu ecosystem of developers, the Ubuntu OpenStack infrastructure as a service, where we've seen many of the world's largest organizations deploying their OpenStacks, doing so on Ubuntu and with Ubuntu OpenStack. With the launch of Kubernetes and Canonical Kubernetes, many of those same organizations are running their own Kubernetes alongside OpenStack, or in some cases on top of OpenStack. In a very few cases, instead of OpenStack, in very special cases, often at the edge or in certain tiny cloud or micro-cloud scenarios. In all of these, we see Rancher as a really, really good partner in helping to accelerate that developer workflow. Enabling developers to write code, commit code to a GitHub repository with full GitHub integration, authenticate against an active directory with full RBAC controls, everything that you would need in an enterprise to bring that application to bear from concept to development to test into production, and then the lifecycle once it gains its own life in production. What about the impact of customers? So I'm an IT guy, or I'm an architect, and man, all this new stuff's coming at me. I love my open source, I'm happy, it's big, don't want to touch it, I want to break it. Oh, but I want to innovate. This whole world can be a little bit noisy and new to them. How do you have that conversation with that potential customer or customer where you say, look, we can get there. Here's your app team, here's what you want to shape up to be. Here's service meshes and pluggable, whoa, pluggable architectures, I can plug it. So again, how do you simplify that when you have conversations? What's the narrative, what's the conversation like? Yeah, usually our introduction into the organization, the Fortune 500 company, is by the developers inside of that company who already know Ubuntu, who already have some experience with Kubernetes or have some experience with Rancher or any of those other- It's bottoms up. It bottoms up, absolutely, absolutely. The developer network around Ubuntu is far bigger than the organization that is canonical. So that helps us with the intro. Once we're in there, and the developers write those first few apps, we do get the introductions to their IT director who then wants that comfy blanket, customer support, maybe 24 by 7 or 25. What's the experience like? Is it like going to the airport and going through TSA and you got to take your shoes off, take your belt off?  What is kind of the culture? Because, I mean, they want to move fast, but they got to be sure. There's always been the challenge when you have the internal advocates saying, look it, we want to go this way. And this is going to be more of the reality for companies. Developers are now major influencers, not just some, here's the product, we made a decision and they ship it to them. It's shifted. Right. If there's one thing that I've learned in this sort of product management assignment, and I'm an engineer by trade, but as a product manager now for almost five years, it's that you really have to look at the different verticals and some verticals move at vastly different paces than other verticals. When we're in the telco space, we're in RFIs, request for quote or request for information that may last months, nine months, and then go entering into a procurement process that may last another nine months. And we're talking about 18 months in an industry here that is spinning up. We're talking about how fast this goes, which is vastly different than the work we do in Silicon Valley, right? With some of the largest dot-coms in the world that are built on Ubuntu, maybe in AWS or elsewhere, their adoption curve is significantly different and the procurement angle is really different. What they're looking to buy, often on the US West Coast, is not so much support, but they're looking to guide your roadmap. And so we offer for customers of that size and scale a different set of products, something we call feature sponsorships, where those customers are less interested in 24 by seven telephone support and far more interested in sponsoring certain features into Ubuntu itself and helping drive the Ubuntu roadmap. We offer both of those as products and different verticals by in different ways. We talk to media and entertainment and the conversation's completely different. Oil and gas, conversation's completely different. So my verdict, okay, so what are you doing here? What's the big effort at Cloud Native gone? Yeah, so we've got a great booth and we're talking about Ubuntu as a pretty universal platform for almost anything you're doing in the Cloud, whether that's on-prem infrastructure as a service, OpenStack, we still have, people can poo-poo OpenStack and point OpenStack versus Kubernetes against one another. We could not see it more differently. Well, no, I think it's more that it's, you've got clarity on where the community's lines are because apps guys are moving off OpenStack best natural. It's really found a home, OpenStack, very relevant. Oh, without a doubt. Huge production workload. I talked to Jonathan Price about this all the time. Yeah. I mean, there's no poo-pooing OpenStack. Right. I mean, it's not like it's hurting. Right, right. I mean, just to clarify, OpenStack is not going anywhere. It's just that there's been some comments about OpenStack refugees going, but they're going there anyway. Right. That's up to Stack. Right. And we offer, you agree? Yeah, I agree. And that choice is there on Ubuntu. So infrastructure as a service, OpenStack's fantastic platform. Platforms as a service are cloud native, true cloud native development. Kubernetes is an excellent platform. We see those running side by side. Two racks of systems are a single rack. Half of those machines are OpenStack, half of those are Kubernetes, and the same IT department manages both. We see IT departments that are all in on OpenStack. Their entire data center is OpenStack, and we see Kubernetes as one workload inside of that OpenStack. How do you see Kubernetes impact on containers? A lot of people are poo-pooing containers, but they're not poo-pooing anywhere either. No, yeah. It's fundamental. The ecosystem's changing. Certainly the roles of each part. My cursor is exploding. How do you talk about that? What's your opinion on how containers are evolving? Containers are evolving, but they've been around for a very long time as well, right? Kubernetes has helped make containers consumable, and Docker to an extent before that, the work we've done around Linux containers, LXD, LXD, as well. All of those technologies are fundamental to it, and it takes tight integration with the OS. Yeah. Dustin, so I'm curious. One of the big challenges I have to think you face is the proliferation of deployments for customers. It's not just data center, or even cloud. Edge is now a very big piece of it. I have to think that containers helps enable a little bit of that. Kind of cloud native goes there, but what kind of stresses has that put on your product organization? Containers are adding fuel to the fire on both the edge and in the backend cloud. What's exciting to me about the edge is that every edge device, every connected device is connected to something. What's it connected to? A cloud somewhere, and that can be an open-stack cloud or a Kubernetes cloud. That can be a public cloud. That can be a private implementation of that cloud.  We see containers being deployed on Ubuntu on those edge devices, right? As the packaging format, as the application format, as the multi-tenancy layer that keeps one application from dosing or attacking or being protected from another application on that edge device. We also see containers running the microservices in the cloud on Ubuntu there as well. The edge to me is extremely interesting in how it ties back to the cloud. And to be transparent here, canonical strategy and canonical's play is actually quite strong here with Ubuntu providing quite a bit of consistency across those two layers. The developers working on those applications on those devices are often sitting right next to the developers working on those applications in the cloud, and both of them are seeing Ubuntu helping them go faster. Bottom line, where do you see the industry going? How do you guys fit into the next three years? What's your prediction? Yeah, so that, I think, I'm going to go right back to what I was saying right there. The connection between the edge and the cloud is our angle right there, and there's nothing that's stopping that right now. I mean, we were just talking with Joe Bita, and our view is, well, if it's a distributed computing world, everything's an edge. Yeah, that's right, that's exactly right. Data center's an edge. A light in a house is an edge with a process in it. Yeah, so I think the data centers are getting smarter. You wanted a prediction for next year. The prediction, the data center's getting smarter. We're seeing autonomous data centers. We see data centers using metals as service masks to automatically provision those systems, and manage those systems in a way that makes that hardware look like a cloud. AI and IoT, certainly two topics that are really hot trends that are very relevant, is changing storage and networking. Those industries have to transform Amazon's telegraphy, things like Lambda and serverless. You're starting to see the infrastructure as code take shape. Yeah, and that's what sits on top of Kubernetes. That's what's driving Kubernetes adoption, are those AI machine learning, artificial intelligence workloads, a lot of the media and transcoding workloads that are taking advantage of Kubernetes every day. Bottom line, that's software. Good software, smart software. That's right. Dustin, thanks so much for coming on theCUBE. Really appreciate it. Congratulations all of continued developer success. Good to have a great ecosystem. You guys have been successful for a long time, and as the world can be democratized with software as it gets smarter, more pervasive, and cloud computing, grid computing, unicred, whatever it's called, it is all driven by software and cloud. Thanks for coming on. It's theCUBE live coverage from Austin, Texas here at KubeCon and CloudNativeCon 2017. I'm John Furrier, Stu Miniman. We'll be back with more after this short break.


The idea that no person is above the law is a bedrock principle of American justice. No man is above the law no matter what the crime. And I agree with you, no man is above the law, no person is above the law. No one is above the law. No one is above the law. No one is above the law. No one is above the law. No man is above the law. Nobody is above the law. No one is above the law. No man is above the law. He has to be held accountable. He's not above the law. No one's above the law. Either that or any other title puts you above the rule of law. No one is truly above the law. It's above the law, which is foundational. No one is above the law, even a former president. Hello and welcome back to yet another episode of It's Different When Democrats Do It. This time we have the utterly insane theatrical performer and now bona fide insurrectionist, Democrat Jamal Bowman, who pulled a fire alarm in order to delay an official act of Congress, which I'm told is worse than 9-11 and the Civil War combined. The QAnon Shaman, who's on video getting a guided tour from Capitol Police, was sentenced to 41 months for a felony charge of obstructing an official proceeding. Oh, that was different.  But luckily for Bowman, the standards that Democrats and the media enforce against their political opponents are not the same standards that they are held to. As you're going to see in this completely bonkers clip, just for some context, this portion of the clip comes after the hosts had been ranting about Republicans for five minutes. And specifically the fact that it was McCarthy who mentioned Bowman's attack on democracy. Last thing I want to mention, and then we're going to take a quick break. There was a mention of Jamal Bowman, Congressman Jamal Bowman, and the pulling of some sort of fire alarm. I just want to- Excuse me. What? Some sort of fire alarm? It was a fire alarm. The same kind that everybody has seen their entire lives. The same kind that says pulling it will activate the fire alarm. But see how she's only a couple of words into this water carrying, and she's already parsing out what constitutes a real fire alarm. There was a mention of Jamal Bowman, Congressman Jamal Bowman, and the pulling of some sort of fire alarm. I just want to read for you some of the reporting so you understand what actually went on there. Oh, this is going to be good. Sure, sure. Tell us what really happened. There were some reports that began to emerge about Representative Bowman who was seen pulling some sort of fire alarm in the Cannon House office building earlier today. We got a statement on that saying Congressman Bowman did not realize he would trigger a building alarm as he was rushing to make an urgent vote that Congressman regrets any confusion just to clarify some things on that. Oh, great. Excuse me, what is that what you're doing here? Clarifying, clarifying our confusion. Our confusion that Bowman accidentally pulled some kind of fire alarm.  According to Newsbusters reporter Alex Christie, she gave this report yesterday at 3.32 p.m. eastern which would have been well after the photos had been released. Bowman clearly pulling a fire alarm in order to delay a vote. Isn't Bowman a former school principal? You want me to believe that a former school principal has no idea what a fire alarm is. I was a teacher, I was a school counselor, I was a middle school principal. Will Bowman be charged for any of this or what I'm more interested in if the media will continue to carry his water? Almost certainly they will based on the responses I've already seen. Some of the media like Chris Hayes from MSNBC are trying to excuse him saying that there's signs up at the door that make it very confusing. But unfortunately for them those signs weren't even up and also the signs aren't confusing because they refer to pushing the door open. Not pulling a fire alarm on the completely separate wall. Just chalk it up as yet another reason never to trust the Democrats or their media. Alright folks, that's all I have for that one. I hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you all in the next one.
