Hi YouTube family. I'm so glad that you could join me today for my skin care favorites that I'm loving right now I was going to do hair and skin care together But I found that I had too many products to talk about and the video would be way too long So I'm gonna split this into a part one and part two basically hair and skin care We're gonna start with skin care today But if you're new to my channel and you haven't been here before I am so glad that you're here with this I hope that you consider subscribing and if you're already one of my subscribers I would really appreciate it if you would hit that thumbs up button for me It really does help me so let's get into the video so that you can see what I've been loving right now for skin care I will say that not everything in here is at a direct store price because when it comes to skin care I personally like to splurge because my skin care I feel like is the basis for Everything that's good and when I say that I mean that if I want good makeup I got to have good skin care because skin care is the basis or your skin is the basis for what you need to have Beautiful makeup later on also. I'm not going to cover all the bases as for a skin care Like I don't have a cleanser in here and I don't have a final moisturizer or sunscreen in here These are just things that I've picked out that for the past couple months past few months They've really been things that I have always reached for when I've done my skin care So I hope that you enjoy that let's start out with something that I've told you about over and over again And I really want to reiterate how great this is this is from Suki a casu Hada and this is their urea moisture lotion Now it's a liquid this one is empty you guys I have a new one that I'm using but I just brought the empty in here first of all a lot of people have the Misconception that urea comes from urine. It is that a product of natural urine in mammals Okay, just let's get that out of the way But the urea that they use for skin care is manufactured in a lab So it is not anything to do with the actual urine urea is actually a super hyper Moisturizing product and it is also a gentle exfoliating product if you get it in the right percentage And I believe this has around five percent Maybe just a little bit more somewhere in there and that's really kind of the sweet spot where you get the Exfoliating and the moisturizing the other nice thing about this is that not only can you use this all of your face? You can put this up under your eyes and on your eyelids around your lips without any irritation whatsoever And it moisturizes so well I will use this like I am right now as my actual Moisturizer Instead of putting a cream on top because it's so hot and I get so sweaty and right now I'm having hot flashes. So I definitely want something a little bit lighter Actually use this as my second step in the morning And it just keeps and it just holds the moisture so good and it is water like so this you can find on Amazon All of these products I'm gonna make sure that I have a link for them down below for you guys Just so you know, this is probably my favorite thing that I've ever run across and I owe that to Pen Smith skincare penny from that channel and she's so good about it while we're on the topic of sukiyakasuhara They do have three products on Amazon. This is their face cream. This is their eye cream. I haven't tried their face cream I'm going to try it But this is the eye cream and it is every bit as wonderful product as the the urea moisture lotion It's just so emollient and it will keep your eye your under eyes Hydrated for all day long and that is really saying something when you do have crepey skin Underneath your eyes and you need that to be plumped up so that your concealer looks good So this is a cream that I won't be without I think this is my third or fourth tube This big huge tube will last you anywhere from six plus months. I usually get about I think about nine months out of this So this is an absolute that I will not be without period I'm also going to talk to you about x slash you guys I've put this on every social media platform that I've had I've done videos about it before But I can't rave enough about it This is a lash growth formula that I originally was sent by the company But I have since repurchased it myself this tube is not cheap However, this tube will last me again nine months and for a lash growth formula I have never found one and I've tried rapid lash. I've tried Grand Grande lash I tried The Rimmel one I've tried so many of them that really didn't give me the kind of results that this does But wow and the other thing about it is that you only have to use it once a day So you don't have to worry about it in the morning. I use it at night I paint it on my upper lash line and my bottom lash line and I am really just so pleased I don't have to wear false eyelashes my own eyelashes suffice now I will tell you that you won't notice anything until about the fourth through the sixth week of using this and then all of a sudden You're gonna go wow my eyelashes look fantastic So I want you to remember that this is a long-term product Yes, if you stop using it, it will stop being effective just like anything else that we do So keep using it and you'll see those beautiful lashes because I've seen some fantastic result that I never thought I'd see from my lashes Next up is the buffet from the ordinary. I know that you guys have heard everybody talk about this But you guys this is such a good Peptide complex for your skin It has so many good things in it that help the skin and what's nice about it Is you have it all together in one instead of having to use different serums. I've used this since it came out I don't know how long has it been three years or more Since the ordinary actually launched their line and it was not long after that that Wayne Goss turned me on to it And I was actually ordering it from london before you could even order it from dcm.com I do feel like it's made a difference in my skin tone my skin texture I really love it and I would very much recommend it now one of the things that Absolutely makes a difference in my skin. I wanted to briefly talk to you about this is from pixie. This is their vitamin c tonic They sent me a whole entire vitamin c line and I have been testing out something else So I'm not able to do that. However, I did pull this out and put it into my morning rotation This I use The vitamin c I use on my skin before I do anything else I'll use this and then I'll use this sukiyakasuhara urea lotion on top of it But this gives my skin just a burst of vitamin c in the morning while being gentle enough That it doesn't cause any irritation or anything, you know Sometimes vitamin c can be a little bit aggressive on our skin And so this has really been a really good one and I have really been enjoying it And I feel like it's doing its job which is brightening And that is really what we want to have as our skin gets older and it gets a little Salo gets a little bit discolored. We want to have that brightness. So I really have been enjoying this one a lot Also from the ordinary I don't want to go away from this video without mentioning the glycolic acid seven percent toning solution At night, this is what I use as my toner and I do love it because using the retin A causes you To have those flakes, but this will help keep them at bay. This I have been using this summer instead of using like the BHA AHA peel. I don't find that I really need that that much. I use a little bit of a granular peel From philosophy In the shower occasionally, but this right here has just been keeping my skin You know buffed and looking beautiful and sloughing off all that old dead skin And again, this is like my fourth or fifth bottle I've been using this since it came out And I absolutely love it for being just a very very mild Exfoliation on your face something that I have mentioned before That I've been using in place of any other moisturizer at night or you know, your last step I was using oils for a while, but right now. I'm just trying to use this up and it just seems to be getting me such A wonderful hydration in the morning after I wake up is the laura mercier flawless skin moisturizing glow mask This is something that you put on.   I absolutely love the smell of it And I'm almost to the end of the bottle here or the end of the tube And I've got to decide whether or not I want to repurchase it because it is a little expensive But oh my gosh, it's lasted me a really long time and it's really really effective on moisturizing Locking in all those serums and keeping them all in so they can do their job This is your last step really does take your hydration to a net to another level But a tiny bit goes a long way so I can put like the size of a dime and I can do everything Which is my face my neck my decollete and my hands as far up as it will go So I I just have enjoyed this. I don't think it has any anti aging properties in it But what I do think is this will lock in everything and help the other anti aging That you put on your face to stay on all night and you just wake up and your skin Feels so plump and moisturized in the morning. And I really like it Okay, I wanted to also share with you this right here. This is a super mask This says a a mask with soothing sentinela Asiatic I don't know if that is right way to say that or not, but this is from elf This is a mask that you do put on for 10 to 15 minutes and then you wipe it off And this is a mask that you use when your skin is very irritated Now sometimes I do get too aggressive with either Washing my face or using too much exfoliant or using too much Retin A and my face will scream at me and say, you know, I'm you know, I'm very very irritated today So this has been really good as far as soothing and I really have enjoyed it You just really take it easy with it. I mean you can slather it if you want to that's not what I mean I mean don't rub after it just really, you know, be very gentle with your skin afterwards And I actually just rinse it off with kind of tepid water very almost on the cool side of water Don't use a rag to wipe it off or any other cleansers to get it off Just very gentle and then I just pat my face dry afterwards And I have found that this is really calming and very soothing to the skin So I really have been enjoying that one also from dcm.com from nyod This is the fractionated eye contour concentrate This little baby is expensive. However, you guys, I won't be without this. I really do enjoy this This is a serum for your eyes. This is what I put on before I do anything else Is I put this right underneath my eyes and use it there now I do feel that this is really helping my eyes. I have very creepy eyes I've noticed in the past little while that my eyelids are starting to sag a little bit So I do notice all of those things, especially around the crow's feet I even have started to notice a little bit right here on the lift of the brow So I really have been enjoying this as far as being a treatment for your eyes This isn't something that is, you know, just to hydrate. This is really a treatment and the The ingredients that it has in here really are meant for that delicate skin under the eyes and for the eyelids And I want you guys to know that don't feel like you can't put stuff on your eyelids anything that you can put under your eyes You can put on your eyelids I actually use this on my top lip as well And I feel like it's done more for my top lip almost than it has even done for my eyelids So either way, it's a really great product It has really helped the texture of my skin there in both places Underneath the eye and on the eyelid and I really have enjoyed having that Okay, last thing is the three oils that I use from the ordinary that I absolutely love This one, let's see this one right here is the bee oil The bee oil is a combination of different oils that they brought together and it just is such a good oil It smells like a vitamin E smell which to me I like because That smell tells me that there's really good ingredients in there and that You have ingredients that are really active and are working You know when you smell a vitamin you might not like the smell of it But you know that when you swallow that vitamin it's going to do something good for your body So I really have been enjoying that the other two are my argon oil and my marula oil Now drunk elephant has a marula oil. This is the same exact thing And then the argon oil, of course, josie miran's argon oil She made that famous But I have both of them at a fraction of the cost of the other two And I love using the argon oil as a mask on my split end And I also love using it on my cuticles. It makes my fingernails grow so good Of course, I attribute that to the collagen I take and a few other things as well But it really does help the growth of your nails to use it on your cuticle and give your cuticle a good rub That's part of my skincare routine at night as well Is giving my cuticles a good rub with a good oil and so I will either use the argon or the marula The marula is such a beautiful face oil though in the in the winter when my skin is super parched I will use that when I was in the hospital I used it to help my skin, you know look a little bit alive You can use either one of these on your face hair Nails anywhere that you have super dry skin And what's nice about it is if you use these and you use them up You're not out that much as compared to using some of the other more expensive brands And they're just exactly the same product in and manufactured with that cold pressed Organic factor in there. So I really do love those. Okay, you guys that was it for my skincare loves I hope that you did enjoy it. I enjoy bringing you these kinds of videos Do you guys have a specific skincare product that you would like to tell me about that has really Been a game changer for you and your skin.

Have a lovely day You are the best part of my day, and I love you very much. Bye. Bye


Okay, so shall we, is everyone ready to share what you learned in your group discussions? So we were looking at Galatians 4, 22 to 31, and Isaiah 54-1. And just looking at how that passage in Galatians uses the Old Testament scripture. Anything y'all, I want to share about what you learned as y'all were looking at that, specifically using the steps that we discussed. We are able to use those steps and did it help better understand the passage. Let me just open those, yeah. Sure, Indel, you can go ahead. Yeah, mom, I'm really, I'm really lost because I am not able to hear you. Are those online able to hear? Yes, I said I'm lost. I'm a little bit lost because I just can't get my mind, I can't wrap my mind around Galatians 4 verse 22 because... Sorry, Indel, we're not able to hear you here. Okay. I mean, we'll just check if it's something that we need to change. It's all okay. Indel, do you want to try again? Sorry, were those on the online classroom able to hear? Yes, I'm sorry. Okay, okay, I think it was a problem with my settings here. Okay, you can go ahead. We can hear you now. Yes, ma'am. My question is, when we talk of two covenants, I don't, I don't understand what are the covenants? Because here I see verse 24, it says, which things are an allegory for these are the two covenants, the one from the Mount Sinai, which gendered to bondage, which is aga. So what is it talking about? Because I'm lost like, I don't know what it's all about. Okay, okay. Does anyone from one of the other groups want to share something that if you have an answer to Indel's question? No, I think we discussed it as prophetic about Israel. It's a prophecy about Israel. And it is narrative. And it is also an illustration. Okay, okay. Maybe brother Sanjay can explain better. Sanjay, do you? Just add a small thing to, I think Sister Gertrude had shared almost what we discussed. So I would only add only one thing. What we read in Galatians 422 to 31, the poetic that is Rejoice O'Baron, you who do not bear, break forth and shout, you who are not in labor for the desolate has many more children than she who has a husband. It's almost like parallel to what we read in Isaiah. Again, say single baron, you have not. It's almost talking about the same context, referring to Israel again. That's about what I would add to that. Okay. Okay. The other group online, would you like to share anything? Okay. Any in-person from the groups here on campus? Anything you learned from your discussion? Old Testament reference of Isaiah 54, one basically refers to the promise and the transition of being barren to being fruitful. And here the barrenness is referring to the people in the New Testament when you actually look more in-depth. It refers to more of people being subject to under the law. So the reference is given of Haggar and son born according to the flesh. So reference to Ishmael. So there it had to be more, which was given under the law when it refers to one given from Mount Sinai, which gives birth to bondage and a thing. But when you actually look, the promised one was Isaac, which was born according to the promise. So that's where the person is set free. So you're no longer under bondage, but you're under a spirit of freedom. So that's the kind of implication. Typically referring more of being under barrenness and under a thing and coming to a place of fruitfulness. Okay. Thank you. So that was this group. Does the other group have anything you want to share? Okay. Okay. So we in there, we will address your question. I think Akhil did go into that a bit about the two covenants. So here in Galatians 4, I'll just quickly read the passage out for us. For it is written that Abraham had two sons. One by the slave woman and the other by the free woman. So here he's contrasting the two women who were with Abraham and the two sons. One son, his son by the slave woman, was born according to the flesh. But his son by the free woman was born as a result of a divine promise. So there's a contrast between the flesh and the promise. Verse 24, these things are being taken figuratively. Okay. So he's not saying and now this is important for biblical interpretation. So this is not typically the way we are going to interpret scripture, but he's taking this just to give them a picture of what the old and new covenant look like. Okay. This is not to say that that whole story about Abraham, Hagar and Sarah are pointing to the old and new covenant. That's not what he's saying. He's saying I'm just using this as a picture. I'm using it figuratively to help you understand this. Okay. The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and there's children who are slaves, who are to be slaves. This is Hagar. Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem because she's in slavery with her children. So here he's taking the picture of Hagar who was a slave to point to the fact that the Jews were still under slavery because they were still following the law. Okay. And then he says in verse 27, for it is written, be glad, barren woman, you who never bore a child, shout for joy and cry aloud, you who were never in labor because more are the children of the desolate women than her who has a husband. And sorry, I missed verse 26, but the Jerusalem that is above is free and she is our mother. So he's contrasting between the city, the physical city of Jerusalem and the heavenly city of Jerusalem, which is the new body of Christ. Okay. So which is the people of the new covenant. And he's saying these people who belong to the new Jerusalem are the people who are free and these are the people who didn't, there weren't any children to this woman previously, but now she has more children than the previous woman, the slave woman. So to say that now the Gentiles have been welcomed into the new covenant and so the new covenant, the people of the new covenant have a greater number of people than the people of the old covenant, which is limited to the Jews who are following the law. And then verse 28, now your brothers and sisters like Isaac are children of promise. At that time the sun born according to the flesh persecuted the sun born by the power of the spirit. It is the same now. So he's talking to the Galatian Christians and saying, you are like Isaac because you have come into this covenant through promise, right? You've not come through the law, but you've come because of the promise and that promise comes through Jesus Christ. But what does scripture say, get rid of the slave woman and her son for the slave woman son will never share the inheritance with the free woman son. Therefore brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman, but of the free woman. And so basically saying the Jews are persecuting you like Hagar persecuted Sarah the same way you are being persecuted. But like Hagar, they were sent away that slave woman was sent away. Now we no longer are under the law. We are no longer people who live in slavery. Rather, we are people of the promise and we are the true sons and daughters of God. Okay. Indel, is that okay? Yes, ma'am. Thank you. Okay. So I hope that looking at the passage in the context of Isaiah 54 helped you understand this. It looks like you grasped the meaning of it pretty well. So that's how we will study passages where Old Testament scriptures are quoted. We have to look at the context, understand the meaning and understand how the right in the New Testament is trying to use that passage to explain whatever he's talking about in the New Testament. Okay. But this was a difficult passage also because he is using that figurative language, all of those things are not usually what we'll see in Old Testament quotations. Okay. So coming back to where we stopped in our previous class, in the previous class here. So we looked at narratives. The other kind of literary style that we see in scripture is poetry and wisdom. So this we can look at the Psalms. We can look at Proverbs. Proverbs would be the wisdom literature and we can look at prophetic books as well because all of them use pictures, they use images rather than literal text to talk about whatever they want to communicate in their message. So there's a lot of creative use of language, a lot of imagery that is used to capture imagination and to tug upon people's emotions. So it's much more relating to the emotional, the imaginative than what we will see the next one, which is prose and discourse. And yes, examples of these would be songs, poems, prophetic literature, the wisdom literature, all of these books would be using the poetry or wisdom style of writing. And we look a little bit more at that, but before that we see the prose and discourse. So prose and discourse, a lot of the epistles will fall under prose and discourse, where it's much more logical. So whereas poetry is using pictures, figurative language, emotional language, the prose and discourse is using logical linear ways of thinking and writing to communicate whatever the end message that it wants to communicate. So usually it would be something that builds upon each other and we see this in the book of Galatians as well. Each chapter builds upon the previous chapter. It's like an argument that is being built to help convince the readers about whatever the writer wants to communicate. So the books of the law would be considered as prose as discourse or discourse, some of the wisdom literature and then the epistles like we talked about. So why it's important to understand the literary style is because then we know, should we be taking this literally, how was this kind of writing used at that time? We talked about this with the Gospels. We want to know the genre of the Gospels so that we can correctly understand how what the writer was trying to do. If we don't, if we try and interpret the Gospels from today's way of writing biographies or today's way of writing historical narratives, we won't correctly interpret the Gospels because we will place our own modern day standards and ways of thinking upon a culture that is completely different from us. Not only was the culture different, the language was different, the style of writing was different. So we need to understand what was that style of writing, what were the rules for that style of writing so that we can then correctly interpret it in our present day. Okay. So just a little more on poetry in the Bible. So in English poetry, we know that there's a lot of rhyme that is used, right? So the end of each line will rhyme with the next line. So if you say sing, ting, wing, all the words will kind of sound the same at the end of each sentence. At the same time, it also has a rhythm. So it has a specific meter. The number of syllables in each sentence will be the same. So those kinds of things help to put it to a beat. So like for a song you're singing, so you're able to do like a one, two, three, four, one, two, three, four or so that is similar to what poetry is also in English. Now in the different languages that we speak, poetry may look different, but we're looking at English compared to the poetry that's used in scripture, which will be a lot of Hebrew poetry because of the Old Testament Psalms. Whereas in the Old Testament, Hebrew poetry uses more repetition rather than rhyme and rhythm. Okay. So we'll see the same thought being expressed in a different way. And so when we are reading it, we need to understand that it's a single thought, but it's just being repeated in one way to help us, to help explain the thought further. An example, so we have a few examples here. Joel 1.5. So we see here an example of repetition. It says, awake ye drunkards and weep and howl all ye drinkers of wine. Okay. So both things are saying the same thing. Awake ye drunkards and weep, right? And howl all ye drinkers of wine. So weep and howl are the same thing. Okay. Howl kind of explains further how just how drastic the weeping is. And then all ye drinkers of wine is the same as drunkards. Okay. So the same thought is being repeated. It's just being said with different words. So that is one example of how poetry will repeat a thought. The other is an example of contrast. So if someone can read Proverbs 15 1 for us, Proverbs 15 verse 1, a soft answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. Okay. So here is an example of the same thing being said, but it's the same message, but it's a contrasting thought. So a gentle answer and a harsh word, those are opposites. Okay. And a gentle answer turns away wrath. Okay. So it causes wrath to reduce or to be gone, to disappear, but a harsh word causes anger to increase. So they're contrasting a harsh word, a gentle answer, what is the result of that one causes anger to disappear, one causes anger to increase. Okay. It's the same thought, but the same thing is being said in the opposite way. Okay. That's another example. And then the third is to amplify. That is, it'll say something and then the second part will just further increase the intensity of what it's saying. So if someone can read Isaiah 24 1, we'll just look at that example. Isaiah chapter 24 verse 1, Behold, the Lord makes the earth empty and makes it waste. Distort its surface and scatters abroad its inhabitants. Okay. So here, what is being said in the first part is being further explained or given more of a graphic description in the second part.  It says he will ruin its face in my, I'm reading from the NIV. And then it says he will devastate it. And here it says he will scatter its inhabitants. So it's further explaining or giving us a clearer description of how God is going to do what is described in the first part of the verse. Okay. So that is an amplification. So with that, we come to the end of literary styles and we come to the last chapter in your textbook. After this, we'll do the questions. So we'll do that next week. Which is on applying God's word. So we have a quote here from Martin Luther, the Bible is not merely to be repeated or known, but to be lived and felt. So whatever the goal of interpretation is always application, we want to correctly interpret the word so that we can correctly apply it to our lives, that we are living in accordance with the truth of Scripture. If we are misinterpreting, then we are misunderstanding and we are misapplying Scripture. Okay. So the main goal now we've looked at all of these ways in which we interpret Scripture. But the end goal of that is how are we going to take that and put it to practice in our lives. So some guidelines for application. Okay. The first is to take, to first interpret correctly and then take it into, take into consideration all teaching in Scripture also. So you interpret that passage, look at it in the light of all of Scripture, and then put into practice whatever you've interpreted. Okay. So write interpretation, then look at it in the context of all of Scripture, and then find practical applications for your life personally, or for the lives of the people you are leading or preaching or teaching to. Okay. The second is progressive revelation. So we'll always look at what is the latest revelation we've received on this topic. Okay. So we had looked at previously in Job, if there's sickness being talked about, we don't base our understanding of sickness and healing on the book of Job. We base it on the New Testament on the cross and what is promised on the cross, what was fulfilled on the cross and what is seen in the church after Christ's resurrection. Right. So we look at what was the latest revelation on that topic in Scripture, and that is what we will put into practice in our daily lives. The third is we will always understand difficult passages or passages that are unclear in light of passages that are much more clear or easy to understand. Because difficult or obscure passages can be misunderstood and misinterpreted, we won't base our practical application on those passages. Rather, we look at the passages that talk about the same topic, but are much more clear. We look at those passages and help use those passages to help us understand the difficult passages. Okay. We always look at the life and teaching of Jesus. If Jesus said something that is different from what we have interpreted in a specific passage, we will go with what Jesus has said. Okay. Because Jesus is the word in flesh. Okay. So he's the actual application of that word. And so we look at the life of Jesus. And if it is in line with the life of Jesus, that's how we want to live. We want to make sure application is in line with his life. We look at ways to apply truth into our present day. So we want to see what is the principle that we can take. We take the principle of what is being taught and we apply that principle to our present day lives. And we want to understand contemporary context, contemporary ministry and apply it in those ways. So even how we do ministry nowadays, if in the Old Testament it talks about a voice shouting in the wilderness, we don't take that and we don't go stand out in a desert and start screaming messages to people, right? We recognize that as some way to draw people to God. So how do we do that today? We use media, we use so wherever we take that message or we take that principle and we use it in a contemporary way in our present day. Okay, is that understood? Yeah. We write out specific responses that you can make. So actual things that you can do in response to what you've studied and always rely on the Holy Spirit. From interpretation to application, we rely on the Holy Spirit. So with that we come to the end of all our teaching on interpreting scripture. If we have any questions, we can talk about that now. Sister, I heard once a pastor say that I can do all things to Christ who strengthens me, is use a lot in out of context. I'm not sure sister in what way, because can you explain this? Okay, sure. Yes, I've heard that as well. I think we'll just open that passage. Philippians 4, let me just open that. Yeah, yeah, Philippians 4. Sorry, I'm just trying to find the worst. Okay, so verse 13. So I'll just read that section for us from verse 10 onwards. I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed you were concerned but you had no opportunity to show it. I'm not saying this because I am in need for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength. Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. Moreover, as you Philippines know in the early days of your acquaintance. Okay, so then he's talking about how they have previously supported him. So in this context, he's basically saying that he's been able to serve God and he's been able to minister no matter what his circumstances were. So we see that whether he was hungry, whether he was well fed, whether he had a lot, whether he had little in everything, he was able to continue to serve God. And so his confidence is in God himself, his strength is in God himself, not on the things that people, although he's grateful for their support, he's grateful for their the financial aid they've sent. He's saying that my dependence ultimately is on God, which I think is usually that's how people use that passage. They usually say in my weakness, I know that God is my strength. So I'm not sure if there's some specific instance where your pastor had heard it used differently. But that's how we I think he felt that, you know, like, because what Christ has done like, you can do everything in that strength, you know, I can do all things, you know, like in his strength. So they like, I think when you're praying, you know that they're using it out of context. Okay, yeah. So basically, it's to understand that Christ is our strength. For whatever we're doing, we are ultimately fully dependent on him. So that doesn't mean that we just come up with our own things and then we just expect God to help us through it.  Thank you, sister. Thank you. Mr. One more help. Yes. Mr. In Sam's 119, it's been divided into so many sections. Can you just put some light on it? Okay, so this is also an example of poetic scripture. And if you look at Sam 119, it actually goes through the Hebrew alphabet. And from basically like how English we would have A to Z uses the English alphabet for each section. And that's how the sections are divided in Sam 119. And the focus again is on the law, God's word, God's commands. So with each section, he's starting with one of those alphabets, talking about it, and then going to the next alphabet using that alphabet to start the section and talk about it. But the main, so it is poetry, and which is why we see all of those sections. But the main message again is our heart being drawn to the law of the Lord. And that being our ultimate desire, our ultimate delight is in the law of the Lord. Does that, any significance to each section? Not specifically, it's just poetry. Yeah. So that's one of the ways in which Hebrew poetry is written using the alphabets like that to start each section. Okay. Okay. Yeah. So that's a good question and very relevant to what we talked about today in terms of styles of writing. Okay, sister. Thank you. Thank you. It doesn't mean what is that? It just means a cat alphabet letter. That's all. Yeah. Alif is the first alphabet of in Hebrew. Okay. Okay, sister. Thank you. Thank you. So that is what we say alpha. So when we say alpha, omega, it's alpha is Alif, which is Hebrew, the first letter and Omega is the last letter of the Hebrew alphabet. Okay. Shall we close? I think we come to the end of our time. So next week, we'll just look at those questions for the last chapter. And if we're able to finish it in next week's class, that'll be our last class. Okay. So thank you all for being here. We'll see you next week.


Hello, this is Hans van der Kwas senior lecturer at IHG Delft Institute for Water Education. In previous videos I've demonstrated how to delineate a catchment and its streams, assuming that you only have a digital elevation model. For more data-rich areas or areas where OpenStreakMap has a good coverage, good hydrological coverage, you can also burn in the river network to improve the results. That's what I'm going to demonstrate in this video. We're going to use the r.carve algorithm from GRAS, therefore it's important that you start QGIS with GRAS. Let's first mosaic the SRTM tiles that we've downloaded from the USGS website or with the SRTM download plugin. So with this tool we're going to build a virtual raster because we don't need the full geotiff, we just need a virtual file because we're only using it temporarily. We're going to save it here to dm-mosaic. So this step is similar to the normal delineation method where we don't have streams. And let's remove the data that we don't need anymore. The next step is to subset the dm and to reproject and we're going to do that in one step by using export, save as and here we give the output file name. Let's call it dm-reprojected subset, it's a geotiff and we change the projection here. I use it from the recently used list but you can also select it based on the upsg code and I calculate the boundaries from the layer bounding box that I loaded and I set the spatial resolution to 30 meters and click OK. And there it is, we remove the mosaic and we're going to set the on-the-fly reprojection of the project to the one of this layer and we do that by clicking right, set CRS from the layer to the project and we zoom to the layer. Now we're going to have a look if there's data on rivers available on OpenStreetMap. We use the quick map services plugin and use the OSM standard and everything that we see on this map can be downloaded later with the quick OSM plugin and we see that the rural river is also defined here on the map, which means it's downloadable for us and we can use that to burn that into the dm. So now we go to vector, quick OSM if you don't have it, install the quick OSM plugin, we choose the overpass API and we can choose here's a key waterway and it's value river. There's another video where I explain more how to use this and we will use a layer extent and we use there the dm reprojected subset. Make sure you only choose the lines because we want the rivers as lines, not as points or polygons, doesn't make much sense and then we run the query and when we close dialogue we can see that all these rivers from OpenStreetMap have loaded. Now let's inspect the attribute table where it loads and we see a column with name and now the trick is to use that name column to filter out the mainstream of the roar. So I go to the select by expression dialogue and say name equals and if I push there the all unique values button it gives me all the options and I see there already roar which is the Dutch spelling and then I click select features and those features are selected and also use RUR which is the German spelling of the roar river and I click then on the drop down and you can say add to current selection and now those are also selected those features. Close the dialogue and I can at the bottom of the attribute table say show selected features, there I see the 26 river segments with those names roar and RUR. Next step is to save those selected features because we only want the mainstream of the roar and to use that for burning in the river network and I save it as roar underscore OSM, change the projection to the one of this project and now the selected segments are saved as roar underscore OSM or we can remove our temporary waterway river layer. Let's style this a little bit using a blue line for a hydrology and we'll remove the DEM in the background and let's see if this resembles then the roar from open street map and there we can see it and if we pan to the outlet then we can also see that it follows the mainstream of the roar into the mouse river or the mouse in touch. Now we need to do a few corrections of this open street map layer, it needs to be continuous and it needs to be one line so the best thing to do is to switch off the DEM and go follow the river and here we see already that there's two parts of it. I go to editing mode and I'm gonna check on the open street map background which one is which and I'm going to remove one of those that is less relevant. I'm gonna remove in this case that one I used the selection tool and when I click the delete button it's deleted and I do that for several other points too. Here we see another problem part of the segment is missing so we use the node tool to select the nodes and we see that we can connect those nodes but first we need to switch on the snapping toolbar we click right on the toolbars and switch on the snapping toolbar click the magnet and now we can select with the node tool this node and the red line makes clear to which point we drag it and the magnet will make sure that it connects to the node where we want to go. There it is and then we can save the edits and do a final check. Now let's toggle off the editing mode and all these different segments are separate features and we need to dissolve this first although it's a wise thing to do. So we use the dissolve function from the vector geo processing menu and we dissolve all the features so the roar river will be just one feature one line that we can use later. Let's call it roar dissolved and we run the algorithm it's pretty fast. Let's first uncheck this let's check the attribute table. We see that it's one feature now. Let's copy the style from roar OSM to roar dissolve to make it more visible. Now it's time to burn this river in the DEM so we start the processing toolbox and under grass we find r.carve. When we hover we see a little explanation and it's exactly what we need so we're going to use this dialogue and make sure you choose the DEM and you use the roar dissolved layer and you can set here the stream width in meters. Let's use 2 pixels so that's 60 meters and we use a depth here of 2 meters additional. So it will subtract 1 meter and we will have 2 extra. You have to play a bit with these numbers to get the optimal result. In this case this setting gives nice results and we only need the modified elevation. I'm going to save it as a TIFF and we call it DEM burned and then we can click run. Give some warning and errors but that's not so important for the result. So let's use the styling panel to style this DEM. Go to single band pseudo color because it's a continuous raster layer and we choose the CPT city for some presets on elevation, topography, elevation. There it is because we're very zoomed in. I'm going to change this min max settings to the current canvas so it stretches those colors because what I want to demonstrate is the effect of the burning on the elevation values. We see already the river in the DEM values and I'm going to copy this same legend here, the same style to the original raster. I'm also going to uncheck the raw dissolved and here you see the effect. You see that the river is now lower than in the original DEM. Let's also check what happened at the outlet. We use updated canvas so every time we update the extent it will update the stretching and there we also see that the river is visible. The next step is to use the fill algorithm which makes sure that also the other pixels will be draining towards the river that we have burned in. So we use the Wang and Liu fill sinks algorithm from the processing toolbox. Let them filled and save it and we only need the filled DEM as an output so we uncheck the other boxes then we run the algorithm. Click close when it's done. Let's copy the style so we can see the result soon to the layer and the next step is to calculate the strahler orders. We can check how the streams are developed now. Save the strahler run the algorithm. Click close when it's done. Let's style this layer. It's a palleted unique values. Click classify and use a ramp of blues so the more blue for the higher orders which are closer to the stream and let's use the raster calculator to determine which strahler order responds with the stream and we choose larger or equal to 8. This calibration is explained in another video because normally you compare it with the OpenStreetMap backdrop and then choose the right level. Let's remove the underlying strahler layer and visualize this one. Let's style it using palleted unique values again because it's a Boolean so it only has 0 and 1 as we can see. We remove the zeros we make the ones blue and we remove the underlying layer so we can compare it with the OpenStreetMap. We zoom in. We can see that now this strahler order river follows the river on the OpenStreetMap which makes sense because we use that river to burn in the river network. It's not everywhere the case but it follows it mostly but the FilSync algorithm of course has changed it a bit. So the next step is to delineate the catchment by using the outflow point and we use the upslope function from the processing toolbox from Saga and we're going to use the coordinate capture tool. If you don't see that you can activate it. We start capture and we get the outlet. We can get it here. Make sure you're within pixel and then we copy the coordinates and make sure that for elevation you choose the DEM filled and we leave for now the other things as default and we save it to raw catchment burn Saga. As that then we run it. We close the dialogue and we see the catchment of that outlet. The next step is to convert this raster file to a vector by polygonizing it. Save it as a shapefile and call it raw catchment burn Saga because later I'm going to compare it with the other results from the other videos. There it is the vector layer. It has the catchment plus the boundary and we need to now select everything except the inner part of the catchment. That is the catchment so with this button we can invert the selection toggle to editing and click the delete button and when I toggle off and save it I now have the catchment polygon. I remove the raster and I can style the catchment boundary using a simple outline. There it is. So for comparison I've now added in black the results from Saga without burning, in green with grass and in blue the result of this exercise where we burned the rivers from OSM OpenStreetMap into the DEM. We see that our stream in blue nicely follows the OpenStreetMap and that much coarser is the one in black. The grass one is a bit finer but they also both deviate quite a bit from the original stream. But if you don't have any OpenStreetMap data then you have to model this using stream delineation as explained in previous videos. What's the effect on the catchment boundary? We see that the catchment in other cases end up in a different place than the real outlet and we see that there are some changes on the borders. So you've learned how to use additional information if that's available, a river layer to improve the results of the catchment delineation.


Hi, I'm Matthew Kos from commitmentconnection.com and today I have another question from a woman in our community who asks how do I know if he's the one? Now that's a very good question and it's very challenging to to know if somebody's really the one or not I mean, how do you really know and You know, I suggest that it takes a little bit of time to figure that out even if you feel just this amazing Emotional attraction for somebody right off the bat my suggestion is that you slow things down a little bit and make sure that That person is actually somebody that you want to be in a long-term relationship with I know way too many women that come to me and they complain because things were so hot and amazing at the beginning and then all of a sudden it blew up and fell apart and so Initially the first thing that I think that you should look out for is common values And I talk about this and a lot of different programs and in other videos on my YouTube channel But you need similar values commonalities I forget about that one because commonalities, you know It can be cool to have somebody who shares a lot of similar interests in you but ultimately most people break up because of a difference in values or Because of too many negative emotions, but a difference in values is usually one of the most important things You need to find out if his values are in alignment with your values and if they are then he makes Potentially somebody that could be a great long-term partner for you another thing to look out for is That you both potentially have the ability to grow In a similar direction with each other, you know, if you guys are on completely different life paths It's probably just not going to work out because You're gonna grow too far apart from each other at some point and then it's gonna be really really hard to reconnect and You're both probably At least one or the other of you and probably both are gonna find somebody else that does have a similar growth path and end up with that person instead So that you know just to be clear here. There's no science that says that There's ever a yes or no 100% certain answer and that's part of the beauty of life You know part of the beauty of life is taking risks and going out and trying things and you know finding people that may or may not work out and You know and seeing if it works and and just you know being smart about it though and and making sure that you know You're in alignment with the the person that you're with so that you know, you have the best chance of Creating something that is lasting So that's it for this video if you want more information on how to attract a quality man into a committed Lasting relationship make sure you subscribe to my youtube channel. I'm Matthew coast and I'll speak with you again soon

Frederick Barney is a taxi driver in Accra, at least he is now. He came back earlier this year after more than a decade in the Netherlands as an illegal immigrant. The Dutch government funded his return, then bought him a taxi to start a new life. I want to tell my people who don't have papers in Europe and stay strong is we have to come back to Ghana because with God you trust. They already helped you, got the small money and started something small, now I start my own business from the Netherlands government. Paying for migrants new lives is one way to get them to return. The other is deporting them but that's harder to enforce and expensive. In terms of cost-effectiveness and the sustainability of migrants coming back, creating a decent life for themselves and wanting and having the means to stay in their communities, I think you have much better results with voluntary returns where the migrants receive the support to start a business, to recreate a new life, to reconnect with society and the community. Frederick came back as a businessman, not empty handed. It was the only reason he returned. Failed migrants know the horrors of trying to get to Europe and they want other Ghanaians to know too. Eric's bus broke down in the desert, they had to walk. When the food and water ran out, he saw his friends starve to death. People think Europe is heaven but it's never like that. They are not going to pick euros on the street. I have a lot of friends who are actually suffering and they won't actually want to come back home but for fear and shame and disappointment that they have nothing bringing down here, they don't want to come. So Europe is very, very tough. He says he's tired of seeing people die trying to reach Europe. He hopes sharing his experience can make people stay in Ghana. Susana Van Homase, BBC News, Accra.
