Welcome to Designing in the Browser. In this series, we explore how to take a design, build it, and then tweak it in the browser using the latest in web technology and design systems. Today, we're going to dive into the tools that browsers give us to quite literally design in them. We'll be using Chrome DevTools and Material Design as our baseline to see where we can adjust and play. Let's dive in. Like design tools, developer tools help designers and developers build, test, and debug in the browser. Luckily, there are a ton of great tools and plugins that make this process of prototyping and iterating so much fun. There are tools from everything from color selection to finessing animation to ensuring a nice user experience on a variety of devices and even testing load at various network speeds. DevTools help us not only to see under the hood, but to also make changes in decisions and see what those decisions look like in the browser, the medium in which we're delivering the final product. That's why this series is so important. As designers, we have to work in this medium and use it to our advantage to really have the most control and power over our designs. And what's the first tool that we need? Inspect Element. This is the primary entry of DevTools. Inspect Element is often how I open up DevTools just by left-clicking an element and finding that Inspect item in the dropdown. Inspect Element lets you select an element and get information inside of it. This information includes the cascade of styles, styles on various states, computed values, classes, shape and size, and more. You can even change the text content in order of the DOM of the element within the elements panel. You do so like this. So here I'm going to left-click on this heading and hit Inspect. And now I'm opening up this information here and this is the elements panel. You can see the sizing here is 350 pixels by 32 pixels in height. We have the class name here of headline six and all of the class styles inside of that. You can see here that this Moz OSX font smoothing is not being applied in favor of the WebKit font smoothing. So it shows you which styles are being applied and which ones are not being applied. We also can see here this H1. So we're getting styles from the H1 as well as the class on top of it. And it shows you which styles are being overridden. For example, this font size of 2M is being overridden in favor of a font size of 1.25 rem with the class MDC typography headline six. There's also a variety of element classes that we can play with here. And I think that this is a really great way to prototype. So inside of this, if I started typing MDC typography, we get an autocomplete of all of the different typographic options. So you can just sort of scroll through and start to see what these would look like within here. So you can see that headline one, headline two aren't actually making a difference and that's because I still have MDC headline six selected. So you want to uncheck that and now we can see what the headline two looks like. So if you truly want to play with a baseline for the styling here, remove all the classes and then start to search the classes that are relevant to this element. So here we can see all of the typographic styles and decide which ones make sense. This also lets you separate your logic from your styling. Your logic is the data, the text content here. So this is a header one in this form field element, but you can apply a class on top of it to style it however you want. Say we want to style this headline one like a headline five or headline six, we can do that. And we can test that inside of this elements panel. I'm going to select the button now. So here I'm just going to hit inspect on the button and it's going to go right to that elements. And we can see that this button has a few classes as well. So right now we're using the MDC button raise style but here I could select this outline style as well and put that in there. You can play with density inside of buttons and these are all classes that I was just playing with earlier, applying them, seeing what they looked like, testing this in the browser. So it's a really powerful tool and there's a ton that you can do by changing some of these styles around. You can reorder things in the DOM as well. I'm going to just scroll back into my UI here. So say we want this headline maybe after the paragraph. We could do that. We'll probably want to change that to be not an H1 in that case, make sure that your DOM still makes sense but you could reorder things, you could reorder the buttons, you could reorder this, remember this device. Text there and really just start to play with your UI in the browser. So here you could even change the text of what this says. I'm finding this label here and now I can change this to always Pat Disco and now I'm checking and I'm always going to Pat Disco. This is a place where you can test different language. If you're unsure how a piece of text will fit into an element on your screen, then you can test that and you can test this at various sizes. Let's look at the color palette now. In this example, we have a custom properties based theme playground for material design. If you click to inspect the page and we're opening up that panel inside the HTML, you can see it is root here with all the custom properties and their color values. So here we can start to play with what our colors look like. So if I want to change the primary theme color, I could click on that square and I have this whole array of color here that I can start to pick and choose and play with and see what that looks like in my UI. Maybe I want like a bright pink color here. You can also change the color type. So here's the hex code. If I click on these arrows here, it changes from hex to RGBA to HSLA. And speaking of alpha, you can also use this alpha toggle to toggle the alpha, which is the amount from transparent to full color and how much will show through to the element behind it. So we have all of these capabilities. And another fun one is this color palette. So in this color palette, we get a base palette of colors, but we can also start to pick color from the page. So you see these page colors here where the initial page colors, these color variables that the dev tools have found from the page as most prevalent colors on that page. So if you're working within a design and you have a palette that you're working with, you can easily find the colors from that palette inside of the step tool here. There's also the CSS variables that are being pulled out here that we can get the color values from. And we can just start to really play with color in this way.  Maybe we want to change the color on that primary. Here we can also change this color value. We can change the secondary color value so we can change this to maybe a purple value. And you can start to see how this cascade start the entire application. So now if I scroll through, you can see that all of the secondary values like the checkboxes, the switches, this is all live code. And we can see that this is in the browser, transitioned and transformed all these elements to be pulling in those colors. In the drawer here, we see a background on the active elements. And that is also pulling from the primary color, but being a little bit faded behind so you can still see a contrast with the text on top of it. So by applying these color changes in the browser, you can really see what that looks like in various elements and in various states of those elements. So let's go back to the top up here and select this button. What we can also do in DevTools is figure out if something is accessible or not, which is a really great shortcut to have. So here on the button, we have a color value and a background color value. If I click on this color value, you can see that we have a contrast ratio of 8.5.1. That's great. If we made that color value a little bit more closer to the background color, that contrast ratio starts to get lower and you can see that that's no longer accessible. So we get a lot of help here when you have a color and background color within an element to help us make decisions on contrast and on colors that are accessible for our users. If we click this open, we can see where that's accessible. So we can see that's accessible for double A for larger text and not necessarily for triple A, which means that we will have to have that white value for it to be triple A contrast accessible and for this to work for our users. Make sure that you're keeping accessibility in mind at all times and you can use the color palettes inside of DevTools to help you to do that, especially when it comes to color selection and readability on various elements. Let's talk about the animations palette. In episode one where we talk about motion on the web, we recreated this ringing button. So let's inspect this element in DevTools and explore what that looks like behind the scenes. So here I'm gonna hit inspect on this button. I wanna make sure that I have the button selected here and then in the bottom here, we have this animations palette. Now, if you don't have this, you can find it in this dropdown menu, this little kebab menu, and you can hit more tools in the dropdown and then animations is the first item in that secondary dropdown. So that's what's gonna bring up this animations palette for us. So now, inside of here, we see that we have multiple animations happening and if I click open on those animations, we can find that on the button, we have this grow animation where it's growing over time and on the icon inside of that button, we have this ring and I can actually toggle back and forth between here. Like this is a key frame. I can go forwards and backwards. I can pause, I can play. I'm gonna pull this up a little bit here. So what I can also do is I can adjust the timestamps. These are percentage-based animations. So if I wanted to make this grow really long, this will break up the effect of it ringing as it grows, but just to show you, I now have it sort of off kilter. It's ringing, it's ringing, it's still sort of not changing in size. So you can start to really break these down here. I have it ringing very tightly in this section here. I could break that up too. You can move these around so I can move it back and forth. I can have this start to grow before I have the ring happening. I'm ruining this animation, but the idea is to show you that you can have animations that are separate from each other and then also test what this looks like together. So now I have it ringing off kilter from the size changes, but here if you have a lot of animations that are complex and you have to orchestrate them together, you can take a look at what that is, what that looks like. You can take a look at what the animations are happening inside of this element. So we have a box shadow change too as it's growing and changing color there. And then start to play with this, start to finesse in the browser. And this is a really great opportunity for prototyping because if things are off, it's a lot easier to see it visually than it is to try to read the code and figure out what's a little bit off when those timestamps are different too. If you want to slow this down to get a little bit more of a finesse and detail here, you can also change the speed at which you're animating. So here I set 25% and I have this very slowly now starting to grow and shake here, starting to ring very slowly. So this is another opportunity for you to adjust speeds and see where things are in a very precise way. 10% is another speed option for very complex animations. Again, you can start to really get in there in the details and intricacies of these animations. Let's talk about the device panel now. I use this tool all the time. In order to showcase it, I've opened up the material.io websites and I'm just gonna hit inspect from any part of the page to open up DevTools. And here is that device toggle toolbar. So I could also hit Command Shift M on my Mac computer, but anywhere that you're using Chrome, you could always left click into the browser screen and open up DevTools. So I've clicked this open and here I have a few options. I have a responsive option so I could see what this looks like at various screen sizes by dragging it over. You also have a dropdown here with some default devices like the Galaxy S5, the Pixel 2 XL. To see what this looks like at various screen sizes, we have the iPad Pro here. And you're also able to adjust this from horizontal to vertical. So you can see what that looks like when you flip that device. That's a little bit more dramatic on a phone here. So if you flip it, a completely different layout. You can also again use this responsive mode. You can even edit what the devices are that you want to showcase. So here in DevTools, I'm gonna pull this out and I'm going to hit edit. And I have a bunch of devices here. You can add a custom device. You can add devices that aren't currently in your dropdown by default. So if you wanna test for example on the iPhone 4 or if you wanna test on the Nexus 7, I will now have these inside of the dropdown when I next open it. So there they are, iPhone 4 and Nexus 7. Somewhere on this dropdown right here. So you can see that that phone looks completely different than the iPhone 4 and that's important for you to know as a designer. We also have various break points here that allow for you to just quickly change between common sizes, mobile medium, large, tablet sizes, laptop sizes. And you get a percentage based visualization here that's scaled down to fit inside of this browser screen. So if you want, you can make this 100% view. You can make it an even larger view if you want to sort of zoom into that. You can make it 50% or fit in this area. And then you can see really large screens, 4K screens even. And if you don't have a 4K screen, you can still test on those devices. Your design does change based on the DPI of your screen and kind of is determinate of whether you have a retina screen or non-retina screen. And that can also come into play when you're deciding what images to send to your users. So if you want to test those, I have an example here with disco where I have this high res image and now inside of my dev tools, I can actually test to see that I'm sending a lower res image with the lower resolution browsers. In my CSS, I have a media query where I'm sending a different image based on the density of the screen. So here if I have a high density retina screen, I'm sending a high resolution image. If I don't, it's gonna fall back to the slow resolution image. So I can actually test this with a medium DPI screen inside of my dev tools.  And if all of those aren't enough for you, there are some tools that you can use to extend these capabilities and make designing in the browser even easier. One of those tools is called Visbug, created by Adam Argyle. We're gonna fly over to him to have him explain why it's so useful for designers right now. Hmm, this page, I like the layout. I think there's a lot going for it, but it's lacking some color, don't you think? Well, let's have fun and try it out. Let's make some color in here with Visbug. All I have to do is launch it. In fact, I'm gonna scoot it down off of here so that it's not conflicting with the header and I'm gonna start with the header. It's just asking for a nice bold color, don't you think? What do you think, like a purple? Ooh, pink, a hot pink. I'm always down with hot pink. All right, I'm actually settled, that's great. Okay, you can see our guides tool is trying to help us make some alignment checks here as we hover on other elements. You can get distance between them. All right, but I'm also interested in changing this image up here and I'm gonna drag in a new one. I have an SVG icon here, it looks like this. Oh, thanks for that, that did not work out very well. But if I drop it up here, look at that, I replaced it. That's kind of nice, all right. So what about all of these cards? I feel like they're a little tight. I wanna check out their spacing here. So if I select, I'm trying to select the card element here and I'm having a little bit of a trouble because there's so many elements in here. Look, I can actually select the elements inside of here. That's crazy town. But in order to get to these great items, I'm gonna select the parent and use keyboard navigation to help me get there. So I'm gonna hit enter, which is gonna select the first item as a child. So I selected the grid container, I hit enter and I selected the first one. I hit command shift E, which is gonna expand my selection. It's gonna find all the other elements that match. I found them there. I still have the margin tool. So if I hit shift down twice, I'm gonna add 20 pixels to the bottom and that's gonna give me a little bit of spacing between my rows, super neat. I can actually continue using this multi-selection though. If I hit enter, I'm gonna find that each of these cards had a wrapper element. I hit enter again and I'm gonna get the image container that's in the upper part. If I hit tab, I'll find the next element in the layer tree and I want to change the alignment to these. So I'm gonna grab my flex box align tool. I'm gonna hit left and right and find a nice alignment and I'm gonna pick the center and I'm gonna hit enter again and we'll find that there's a span inside of that container and I wanna change the text size to this. So I grabbed the text tool. I'm gonna hit up on the keyboard a few times here. I'm gonna hit command down to change the font weight and of course it needs some hot pink. So I'm gonna go over here to my color picker and grab that hot pink from up top, close out and see what I did. And look at that. We brought some color to that page pretty quick and we're able to just sort of express ourselves in a nice, fast manner. That was fun. I hope you enjoyed seeing a little bit of taste of what Visbug can do for you. Super cool. Thank you, Adam. I really love using DevTools. I use them every day for designing directly in the browser for prototyping, for making decisions and I find that these tools are just getting better and better and better and that's really exciting for me as somebody who likes to design and build in the browser. What are your favorite DevTools? Are there any that we missed in the show that we didn't mention tools that you use every day? I would love to hear your thoughts. Please leave a comment below and thanks for watching the show. We'll see you next time. Say bye, disco.


Okay, you all to know in the background that's my wife and the girls fussing about something I don't know what they fussing about but forgive them. Good evening everybody. I know everybody get ready to go to bed so I'm gonna drop this payload and be out of here in a minute. Can everybody hear me okay? Let me know if you can hear me fine before I get started. We'll make sure that what I'm saying can be heard and also since I have my book chapter verse hat on if you'd like to have information or like to buy merchandise from me and supporting the book chapter verse family. I think I'm not gonna call that yeah book chapter verse family. Good. Hey Kelly. Hey everybody. What's DEF CON? DEF CON stands for defense conditions. That's what it stands for. Look it up. Google it. You'll see that there are five conditions of readiness of defense so that's all I'm gonna say about that. Watch the videos. I'll have gone into explanation on that. All right. All right. Good thing. Good thing. Thank you Mr. Redder. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. LaVena. Hey sister. I know everybody can go to bed. We are gonna go work in the morning but I did not want to hold on to this particular package if you will. Wanted to drop this one. I believe that once this one is dropped you be the judge. Okay. You be the judge. You tell me after this after this one is dropped what should G Craig do. Okay. I'm gonna leave it up for the viewer. I'm gonna leave that to the supporter.  Keep bringing them. Keep sending them. I really appreciate it. I do read all of them. It may take me a while to respond to them because I do work for a living as well but I would do my best to respond to your emails and to your questions to the best of my ability. But again, inbox me if you'd like to get information on getting merchandise ordered to you. Book chat diverse. We have hats. We have sweaters. We have t-shirts. We got hoodies. We got beanies. We have Nala. What we got? What kind of merchandise we got? Tell them real quick. Come here. Open the door. Open the door. Open the door. See this is real life stuff right now. See. You can get stick. You can get stick. Everything is this. You got what? We got hoodies. Hoodies. Sweat shirts. Sweat shirts. Different kinds of hats. Different kind of hats like beanies. T-shirts. T-shirts. Women's tank tops. Women's tank tops. These crop sweatshirts. Crop sweatshirts. And crop hoodies. And crop hoodies. All right. Thank you, fam. Thank you. I appreciate that. Appreciate that. Yeah. Yeah. Miss Fam says she's ordering hers now. Okay. I'll handle that right now. All right. She says she can handle that right now. All right. Anyway, so let's get to it. Let's get to it. I'm going to read some scriptures to lay down the foundation. I am not going to be before you long. I promise, promise, promise. You always promise it. Your pooch is always promise that. I got it. I understand. It's late. I know I got to go to bed, but this one has to be dropped. Okay. But I want to read some scriptures. Lay down what I want to say. Have that biblical foundation. Yeah. I did it. Open the door. That's right. What up, though? All right. So first screen is 1533. First screen is 1533. The Bible says bad company corrupts good character. Bad company corrupts good character. Bad company corrupts good morals. You are a representation of the company that you keep. That's why our parents always wanted to know the people that we hung around. Who are you seeing? Who are you hanging with? Whose house are you going to? I don't know them.  I ain't talking to their parents. I know that's how I was back in the day. So bad company corrupts good character. First 5524. First 5524 says that the sins of some men are quite evident going before them to judgment. The sins of some men are quite evident going before them to judgment. For others, their sins follow after. What does that mean? That means simply this. There are some sins that people do automatically gets exposed. Then there are other sins that people do it gets exposed later. But you know what the overarching principle is? The sin gets exposed. And since we are God's sheep and those of us who name the name of Christ, we know that we represent him, that we are his ambassadors, we are to speak and to represent kingdom principles and thought word of deed. We don't have a vacation day for holiness. We don't have a vacation day for right living. We don't have a vacation day for standing up for truth. We do not have a vacation day to say whatever we want to say and then we just pick up this whole christianese thing later on. No, we are who we are by the grace of God. Therefore, how we live is in direct proportion and direct relationship to whether or not we are born of God or children of Satan. Simple as that. Simple as that. Luke chapter 8 verse 17, I want to turn there. I just want to give you some scriptures before I share with you what this this nuke package is, this payload that I'm about to drop. And remember G, correct? You asked for it. Remember George, you told me do it. So I'm doing it. I'm going to do it until you're done ministry wise. I'm going to do it until every venue that you attempt to go to will get copies of the blog, get copies of the people that you have had sex with, the people that you've had inappropriate relationships with, the people that you have abused, misused, mistreated, put in hospitals, center therapists, contemplated killing themselves, sending them and causing them to depart from the faith. This is how far I'm going to take this campaign until you are utterly broken to nothing. And by the anointing and spirit of God, that is my 100% desire and goal. So I know you hear that because you have people watching. So I'm making my intent and my motives clear. I want you done. Well, you cannot even teach anybody to do anything because you disqualified. But in Luke chapter eight verse 17, the Bible says, for there is nothing hidden that shall not become evident. No, anything, no, anything secret that shall not be known and come to light. Nothing hidden. There won't be remain. There won't be made known. Nothing that we do in the darkness is going to stay in the darkness. No, it's going to come to the light eventually. And this is about to come to light. And in case those of you are afraid, let me encourage you, do not be afraid. Why? Because our Lord Jesus says this in Matthew chapter 10 verse 28.  One more, another principle, another exaltation and another statement of truth. Second Timothy chapter one verse seven, the Bible says, for God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and of a sound mind. I read these texts because I wanted to lay the foundation out in Elena's foundation. I've been encouraged even in the midst of sometimes being discouraged. I've been overall have been encouraged because God is, God is raising up people. God is causing people's eyes to be open. God is using the videos that I would encourage all of you, all of you who are watching this live right now to share the videos that I post on YouTube, send people to the YouTube channels, send them to the YouTube channel, send them to those videos. I have dozens and dozens now of these videos exposing G Craig Lewis, exposing EX ministries, exposing ABC. Why? Because this man is not a Christian. What did you say? I didn't start. This man is not a Christian. Then you used to support him before? Yep, I did. You know what? Just like Paul supported Demas and then five to seven years later Demas defected. We can ride with people in this walk and then cease riding with them anymore because of how they live. And I tell people all the time, it is not how you started, it's how you finish. So for me, I don't consider G Craig Lewis to be a Christian.  Yeah, that's what the Bible says. The Bible says, if perhaps, let me just read that. Let me just read that. Because I think we sometimes, we missed this, this is the Second Timothy chapter two here, how we are to respond to those who are in opposition. The text says here, verse 24, and the Lord's bond servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all able to teach patient when wrong with gentleness correcting those who are in opposition. If perhaps, notice, the conditional clause is depending upon God. God may grant forgiveness or grant repentance. If perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth and that they come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will. So it's God's, it's God's determination to whether or not he wants to grant G Craig Lewis repentance. But you know what so far? Don't see it.  Now he'll say that he is submitting himself to will forward and which is a surprise to me that will forward will align himself with a man who has not followed the Christ and how he treats people. I wonder, does will forward understand what he did on yesterday? I've never met will forward. I have nothing negative to say about him in the context of who he is as an individual. Unfortunately, G Craig Lewis does. G Craig Lewis has insulted this man. G Craig Lewis has attacked this man's sexuality, called him gay, talks about his wife, talks about him and his marriage saying that his marriage is going to fail, cause him weak. He says all these things and you know the sad thing about it is these people know what he says about them and they go right along and partner with this man. And I don't know how you can do that. The Bible says that we have to depart from a person who's given to anger.  You know, the Bible says that a fool's mouth brings ruin, you know, Proverbs 10, 10, 14.  This man has gone on the, on the business and run the business of slandering people and has gone unchecked. People who try to correct him, he attacks them. He's not accountable to anyone. And unfortunately, people don't see anything wrong with that. That make excuses for, for a G Craig Lewis, because you know what? Like attracts like and no student is above his teacher, but when fully trained will be like his, his teacher or her teacher. So why, why are we here? Well, here's why we're here. I'm going to pass upon the, the emails that I've received from people. I may read that at a later time, since I've already kind of like, you know, said more than I had intended to say. So let me just say this. G Craig Lewis is a danger to Christendom. He may have started off good with a street behind hip hop videos and things of that nature. But he's gone off the rails. He's gone off track. He has gone to the place I believe where it's past conspiracy theories. Now this is straight up heresy.  But for what reason, if you get back up and do the very things that you should be sat down for in the first place, but see again, you don't have biblical elders will for it is not accountable. You're not accountable to will for it. I know you said that, but you're not accountable to will for it. Will Ford isn't a part of your elders should team. So G Craig Lewis is ecclesiology, which is the doctrine and study of the church is all messed up intentionally. So this man does not know biblical doctrine. This is the same man does not that does not believe in water baptism. He believes that water baptism is a Roman Catholic ritual. This is the reason why he did not baptize people for years. He just did it and technically he didn't do it. The elders did just two months ago. So for this church's entire existence, their pastor who is supposed to teach them the word of God, this does not believe in believers baptism. He considers that a Roman Catholic ritual doesn't believe in communion. You know, the ordinances, he does not believe in the ordinances of the Lord suffer and baptism. Oh, Clemente said, oh, wow. Clemente said communion is optional. When I asked him why George did, I don't know how communion is optional. The Bible says, whenever we come together, do this in remembrance of me and sound like an option to me. But anyway, no students above his teacher, somebody get back to this. So why are we here? Why are we here? I have a statement from an individual that sent this to me this afternoon. I do not know this lady, but this lady knows G. Craig Lewis. And so I'm going to read this and what I'm going to say is going to shock you. It is going to appall you. But here it is. And I'm quoting now.  I had substance abuse issues and he played off of that. Later I told him I didn't want to send him inappropriate pics anymore and that when I started talking to him, I did not have a sound mind. He said, quote, you think I didn't know that, end quote. He laughs at his fans for their gullibility, does listen to secular music and also watches porn. He has said that he wants to kill Reverend Gerald Palmer, the pastor who used to speak out against him. I mentioned that I had some family members who didn't agree with his doctrine and his response was quote, people like that should get hit by a bus, end quote. I heard some shocking stuff from him. This is how it started. I was raised very Christian all my life, but fell out of practicing faith from late teens, late teen years to 20s. My parents started giving me these DVDs of this man. They were big fans of the troop behind hip hop series. My stepdad could be his fan club alone. I must admit the things that he was talking about in his videos were very interesting and I started to become a conspiracy theorist. I followed G Craig on social media and commented on agreement on one of his many posts just like others had. Next thing I know, there's a private message from Mr. Lewis to me asking me to email him. Of course, being a fan of someone that was pretty exciting to receive. I of course emailed him and he asked me for some professional advice on some muscular issues because he is a bike rider. I gave him my advice, but the conversation continued. At first, it was a pretty neutral conversation and then we exchanged info and the correspondence continued. Of course, this was exciting to me and I was becoming infatuated quick. Let me clarify that at the time we started talking, I did not know he was married. I was a new fan and knew very little about him. I noticed before he got bolder and with his flirtatious text, he requested to video chat with me to make sure I am who I see I am. He said he had quote unquote spies. Pretty soon, him and I were chatting from the time I woke up in the morning while I was at work and when I got home until I went to bed. The more I became infatuated with him, I started listening to his a truth, a true church perspective podcast. One day I was listening and I heard him mention his wife stunned and disappointed.  In referring to me, she says, we were long distance and had not met in person yet, but he did end up flying out a few times before, before that I would come home and there were packages at my door gifts. He sent me money to get a better phone so I could send him clearer quote unquote pics. The funds were sent through PayPal from ex ministries account. Maybe he started to get paranoid because he always wanted or he always used me talked on his regular email, Google Plus and occasionally video chatted. But then he requested me message him on another account linked to his old photography business. Fast forward to when he flew out. I guess he felt like maybe he couldn't trust me to not say anything. So he said that he had to fly out here for a quote unquote preacher's convention and met up with me while he was there. I do not believe that there was any convention. He just didn't want me to tell anyone quote G Craig flew out here for me in quote. He stayed at a hotel near my job and I met him when I got off. I was surprised at how short he was in person, which explains the Napoleon complex. His first comment and he was quote, I didn't know you were that small in person. You're about my daughter's height in quote. Very superficial. I will admit that we never had sex, but we did mess around a bit. It happened three times throughout the course of our weird relationship. Every time we would every time we would both do, every time we would both say we felt guilty afterwards. After the first time I saw him in person, I started to change and get my substance abuse under control. I was addicted to narcotic painkillers from getting a dental procedure a while back, and I also was an alcoholic. As I began to get clean and sober, I also got back into my faith and for real. Not just listen to Georgia's conspiracy theories and misogynistic sermons, one night in particular I had just gotten back from a prayer session and my mind was so far from any of the shenanigans I had been involved in when I get a message from G asking me to video myself in the bathtub. I wouldn't do it and told him I didn't feel right about it anymore. He said he understood, but he stopped talking to me after that, which is good. When the infatuation wore off, I really started paying attention and noticed how his fans treated him like an idol and couldn't make simple decisions without Georgia's approval. Examples, quote, pastor, is it okay for men to wear red socks? Red and pink are in the same family and pink is feminine, end quote. I would read these comments and laugh to myself, but it is really a sad. All these tactics Georgia talks about that secular artists and the elites used to manipulate you. He does, he does them too. And it's the truth hidden in plain sight. If he knows how they do it, he knows how to do it. I eventually told my parents about everything and admitted my part two and and not stopping the communication when I discovered he was married. My own parents said to me, quote, it's the message, not the messenger. I couldn't believe it. It causes a lot of resentment and it made me finally question the beliefs I was raised in. I began obsessively researching the origins of Christianity and examining it without apologetics like I had always done before. I am now agnostic as of four years ago. I decided to follow George, but simply so I could be front and center when he finally gets exposed. I had no doubt in my mind that this was a cult and his followers take on his personality. Then it seems they finally wake up in their place with more gullible people. When him and I were talking and I was infatuated, I would pay attention to everything he did online and who interacted with him. I remember your namesake awards when you were a fan. I remember Pilgers 777 on Twitter, Jonathan B, Moses Dolo, Kiana Joseph, Lynn Siller, and many other fans, many of whom he blocked and would be little. I was told Kiana Joseph is just a woman obsessed with social media. She's superfluous and she can't even get her husband to go to church. This woman was very supportive of his ministry, but all it ever was was a gossip fest calling people jessie or spirit of dumb, end quote. When I came across your channel, exposing George the other day, I wasn't surprised it was happening and debated just sitting back watching. However, I do want rather to stop this man from getting away with using his platform to manipulate and hurt people's lives. Luckily, I never acted on my idea to move out to Texas like many of his cult members have so once and once I was done with them, that was it and I can go back to my life. What has affected me though is seeing my parents caught up in this cult and belief system. I am sorry for my part in disrespecting Sibathe because our relationship was not appropriate, but I am glad that it sparked me to reevaluate religion, the Bible, and to start using critical thinking. I do have some receipts, but I am not sure I want to go that far due to it affecting my family. I wish you the best in your quest to wake people up as far as this cult is concerned.  It makes him feel bigger, which is why he does what he does. End of quote. When I read her statement, I reached out to her whose name I'm going to leave anonymous right now, even though it's not person's name for security purposes. But when I reached out to her, I responded to her and I said hello. I said thank you for your response. She said no problem, no problem, take this man down. End quote. No problem, take this man down. I'm going to stop there. I'll leave that decision up to you all. I'll put this on my YouTube channel shortly, but we'll forward. Brother, let me ask you, is this who you want to speak highly of a man who took advantage of a drug addict, a man who had inappropriate relationships with a drug addict, a man who used a drug addict for his own benefit and for his own pleasure, allegedly? Let me ask those of you who will still follow this man. What more do you need to hear? What more do you need to know? Where is G Craig Lewis? Where is George? Why is George hiding? Why would George tell an entire church to silence themselves on social media? Those of us who are wise, we know. We know why, but I just want you to think outside of the rapture, where do we find a church just vanishing and going off grid? Who is asking? Don't you find that rather strange? Don't you find that rather cultic and cultish that a man can tell people to do something and unfortunately without even thinking, without even questioning it, without even asking why they do it? I just find that rather strange. Now some of you may not even like the fact that I read this. Just like some of you may not have liked the fact that I posted the names of the individuals in my blog this past weekend. The scriptures is clear. Names can be mentioned, names can be said and stated and exposed when sin is committed. So this is not a personal thing for me, but I wasn't expecting a letter like this and I don't even know this individual. But some of the things that this person has said, I've heard similar stories like this before. Wasn't able to track it down, wasn't able to trace it until today. Now if this is a lie, all G Craig has to do is come on video and refute it point by point. Because the last time that he made a conversation or made a statement regarding the email that I put up when he was speaking with Fred Price Jr. he said that it's 90% fabricated, 10% true, but it's in the past. And I still raise that same question to all of you. What part of the 10% in that email that all of you have, and if you don't have it, Seiko Woods, S-A-I-K-O, Woods with an S at yahoo.com. Somebody put that in the chat for me. Seiko Woods at yahoo.com, S-A-I-K-O, W-O-O-D-S at yahoo.com. What part of the 10% George, that you're saying is true, but it has, it's in the past, I even dealt with. How do we know that? Where do receipts at? Even if that's true, it still is qualified. But again, since you don't have a biblical church, this is why churches like this occur. And why people who are claiming to be pastors, they continue to stay in these positions of authority because they have nobody to hold them accountable. So what about you ladies and gentlemen, what are you going to do about G Creek Lewis? What else has to happen for those of us in the body of Christ to rise up and to respond? What will be your response? I know my response will be absolutely April, last week was the past. Absolutely. Absolutely. Again, another nuke. I'm still in Def Con one. Won't have any peace until God's people, those who are truly God's people at ABC are free. That's my mission. That's my assignment and I'm planning on leaving my post, shoot, address my live, address something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. Yeah, I agree. I agree. I agree to Lala address. Yeah, address the Lala statements, address my statements. I mean, address Kelly's social state. I mean, address people's statements that have asked you questions.  But anyway, just wanted to read this to you all. Again, it's 1025. I'm about to go to bed, give me some rest, but I did not want this day to pass without reading this statement. Share the video, like and subscribe to my YouTube channel. If you want to support me, you can do that through the pay options, through PayPal, through Zail, through Venmo, through Cash App, however the Lord leads you to do that. For me, this is going to be, I see this is going to be a mission for me, to help people to understand that deception and a cult that is in our midst is a threat to the people of God. So pray for me, pray for those who are a part of this quote unquote church. And some of you have been delivered from that. So we all need to be mindful that, but for the grace of God, we too could be just like those who are still blind, that are still walking in deception, thinking that they are receiving truth. But what they're receiving is lies in our lives. So anyway, I'm about to let you all go. George, you can respond to that if you want. Praise God. You said I'm still getting messages of girls who no longer go to ABC apologizing now. Amen. Praise God. Praise God. That is great. That is great. That is great. And because that's what it's about. It's about, this is a rescue operation. This is spiritual. We did it with strongholds and the mind. And it is a stronghold over there. It is a stronghold over ABC. It's a stronghold with ex ministries. This man does not care about the people of God because it shows and how he treats them. So that's it. That's really all I have to say. I'll share this and post this on my YouTube channel. Again, share this information if you could please. I would appreciate it because it means a lot when we share information, when we share truth, other people can be set free. Sanctify them in the truth. That word is truth. That's what the word of God says in John 1717. We are to be known by how we walk in the truth. So anyway, I love you guys. You guys have a great evening.  Prepare your hearts for the next day. And then again, thank you. Thank you so much for your prayers, your support. Keep us lifting in prayer. We'll do the same thing for you. Again, sakeowoodsayyahu.com. If you like a copy of the blog that has been circulating around, I got to make some more circulations and send it to other outlets because I want to get the truth out. I want to get the word out. If you know people who work for radio stations, send them. Give them that blog. Give them that information. Inform the body of Christ of the churches. Give it to the body of Christ. Let us take a stand and start marking those who cause divisions, as the scripture says. All right? So let's do that. Together we can do it and make a lot of things happen. So anyway, love you all. Y'all know what is real? Whatever you do, do all to the glory and honor of God. God bless.


Welcome to the SIG network update and directions. We will be going over major things that have changed in SIG network from the last KubeCon. The SIG network special interest group is responsible for Kubernetes network components. This includes things such as pod networking within and between nodes, such as C&I and IPAM, ingress and egress traffic, service abstractions. This includes service discovery, load balancing, L4 and L7, network policies and access control, which is basically network security within a cluster, and all of the APIs associated with these functions, which includes pod, node, endpoint, endpoint slice, service, ingress, gateway, network policy, to name a few. We have a Zoom meeting every other Thursday, as well as a very active Slack channel. In our community page, link is shown below. If you are new to Kubernetes or need a refresher, we have covered the basics in previous intro videos at KubeCons. This presentation will focus mostly on the cool stuff that has been happening in the past few months. The SIG has been paying special attention to our backlog. We would like to make sure that proposals that are in alpha, beta make it to GA and stable, rather than staying in a half complete state for extended cycles. The SIG is also focused on a couple of major projects. The first one is dual stack support, which has landed in GA in 123. Second project is gateway API for L4 and L7. And third are network policy improvements. Now let's take a look at some of the proposals and updates that have happened since 121. A couple of smaller improvements have graduated to stable. Disable LP node ports is now GA, which lets the user avoid allocating node ports when creating a type load balancer service. This is GA in 123. Ingress class can now reference a parameter object that is namespace scoped. This takes care of some of the common use cases for incluster proxy deployments and self-service ingress deployments. The new topology aware routing feature is now beta, and along with this is a deprecation of the old topology keys based API. The new topology hints is more flexible than the previous iteration and allows for implementations to have more leeway in determining traffic routing when the user specifies that they want their traffic to be topology aware. The key thing here is to note that the topology keys field is now completely deprecated and renamed. DNS config now lets you specify more than five entries, matching the behavior of modern libc implementations. The new limits are 32 search path elements, and the total path length in characters cannot exceed 2048. This is alpha, so please try it out and let us know if you had any problems. Also in alpha is the ability for the node IPAM controller to allocate IPs from multiple non-contiguous CIDR ranges. This allows the cluster admin to dynamically manage IP ranges using the API, adding and removing valid ranges from the cluster. This is especially pertinent to people who use the built-in IPAM versus getting IPs from their CNI provider. Note that this does not change the behavior of node podcider. Once a node has been assigned a slice of IPs, it cannot change the lifetime of the node. Finally, we would like to call your attention to a CVE that was discovered in the 122-123 cycle. Namely, the vulnerability revolves around the power of endpoint or endpoint slice APIs to direct traffic with unintended effects. If a malicious user is able to create or edit endpoint slices in the API, they could expose direct traffic to arbitrary backend IPs in the cluster. For example, if your ingress or LB implementation is shared between namespaces, network policy is not able to distinguish traffic to a destination based on just the source IP of the ingress or LB. In this case, it may be possible for a malicious user to send traffic to your backend, bypassing security controls such as network policy and load balancer source ranges. The mitigation for this issue is to treat the ability to create, modify endpoint and endpoint slices as a privileged operation and remove this capability from the ordinary users of your cluster. About the major projects ongoing in the SIG. First, we're happy to announce that the wait is over. IPv4 v6 dual stack is going to be GA in 123. What this means is that services and pods now support both IPv4 and IPv6, either in single or dual stack modes. There are specific APIs designed around migration of existing services between single stack and dual stack within some reasonable limits. Dual stack is also possible with load balancing and services and this supports any combination of the stacks. Previous IPv6 v4 semantics remain unchanged with the support, namely the behavior egress policy and as well as having a single IPv4 IPv6 address on a pod, e.g. there is no multiple IPs per pods within the same family. As part of the dual stack effort, we are now also making the API server service, a dual stack enabled service. There are some subtleties to take care of, which is which of the features need to be enabled without breaking legacy apps. Dual stack API server endpoints will be published using endpoint slice. The client code will be updated to understand dual stack, but environment variables such as Kubernetes service host will remain the same to avoid breaking existing applications. The gateway API has also made significant progress during the 1-22-1-23 time period. Gateway API is the next version of the Kubernetes APIs describing Alphorn L7 services in the cluster. It aims to be role oriented and extensible, allowing users to configure services with modern functionality, split across ownership boundaries. We have been making steady progress towards v1, alpha 2. The intention is that if v1, alpha 2 does not uncover major issues with the shape of the API, it can lead directly to v1, beta 1, and GA. We expect to have, from this point onwards, as much backwards compatibility as possible going forward from v1, alpha 2. Detailed release notes can be found in the link below, but here are some highlights. First, we have moved to the official API group for the project, which is gateway.networking.case.io. Second, one of the major changes was the simplification of the way gateways and routes bind to each other. In v1, alpha 2, gateways can select routes by kind in namespace, with the default being routes in the same namespace as the gateway. This enables ease of use for simple deployments while giving flexibility for more complex cross namespace relationships. Routes directly reference the gateways they attach to. We previously had a more complex label selection mechanism, but this turned out to be more complicated to understand and support. The third improvement we have made is a separate resource called reference policy that governs whether or not a given resource is allowed to be referenced from another namespace. This makes cross namespace resource sharing safe, and we are seeing other areas in the API, not just within networking, look to this API pattern. We have come up with a common design pattern for policy attachment inheritance in the gateway, gateway class and route resource graph. Because of this, the backend policy resource is now removed in favor of the more generic policy attachment scheme. Finally, routes no longer contain certificates or TLS information. While working through the edge cases, we found that this is too many edge cases and is probably handled better by an API outside the system. There are many other improvements that can be found on the release link shown below. You can also try out the V1 Apo2 API for yourself with one of the implementations on this page. The network policy working group has been hard at work on improvements and extensions to the current API. There are a number of threads that are close to caps. The first is the use of DNS names, i.e. FUDNs as destination selectors. The second is the use of services as a selector for the source of destination versus just using pod selectors. We have also brought a couple of features in network policy to beta in 123. First is the added feature of port ranges to network policy API. This lets you specify an entire range of ports rather than one port at a time. The second is the availability of a default namespace label that has the value of a namespace name, which enables the common case of policy selection by name. One of the biggest changes being proposed to network policy is that of cluster network policy, which allows operators of a cluster to create safe by default and guardrail policies for their users. Here we're looking for a happy medium between needed functionality without adding complexity. One of the biggest hurdles that we are currently looking at is whether or not there is some inherent complexity which makes the most generic answer giving network policies priorities make the most sense. Below we have a couple of choices in the proposals. One is to first set of rules to empower users and then a fixed deny and then an allow rule to punch holes in the deny and then apply existing network policy rules. The second is to reverse the order between allows and denies and existing rules. And we see that these two choices, A and B, are in tension with each other. Choice C, where we can use priorities, can actually express both A and B. But up to now it seems that we have been trying to avoid adding in priorities because of the complexity. But this may be inherent in trying to write policies that work for all situations. We would love to hear feedback about this from the community. Finally, let's talk about some of the other activity in the SIG. First, there is a working group looking at modernizing the Kube Proxy implementation. This is Kaping or Kube Proxy next generation. They are looking at moving Kube Proxy out of tree, cleaning up the code, and potential ways to add new functionality. Another large group is looking at rebooting the community around Ingress Engine X. Ingress Engine X is one of the largest and most commonly used Ingress implementations. And now with a new set of community maintainers, we're hoping to carry forward some of the feature work and support for the Engine X Ingress implementation. So there's a lot going on in SIG Network, and much help is wanted, especially to close CEPs that are in progress from Alpha to GA. Thank you for attending, and now it's time for Q&A.


As we dive right into this new episode of questions from subs, I got to give a special shout out to our newest team. Keep it clean. Patron Frank appreciate your Frank for becoming a team. Keep it clean. Patron. Now, um, why aren't Raven's fans ever all on the same page? First question came from my guy. He's John. He said, good morning. Team keep it clean. It's nine 20 AM on the West coast. So whenever you sent this, it was 12 20 PM on the East coast. Anyway, he said, it ain't great when I see the channel is steadily growing and I hope business is booming. I appreciate that. He said, me, what he says, Lamar needs to be paid and add two wide receivers and we'll be straight. Them Baltimore doesn't need wide receivers. We're good. Lamar just needs to learn how to throw and use the talent he's given. Same fans. Let's trade Lamar for a bunch of picks who they said isn't good or worth the money he's asking for to get a real QB and add some wide receivers, even though they just said we don't need any wide receivers. Yes, I do see that a lot. I do see that because I see a lot of people say, hey, we should trade Lamar and then use that, use the funds that we wouldn't be paying Lamar to add wide receivers, but you could add wide anyway. And then he said, my question is, why aren't we ever as far as Raven's fans on the same page? This fan base seems forever split. That's how it is sometimes. And I mean with with fan bases, I think the thing is that we all have our ways. We all have our own thought processes on how we think things should be, how we think the Raven should do, what we think the Raven should do, how we think the Raven should address different issues, problems or just different strategies when it comes to being a better football team. But since we all have our individual ways of going about whatever the Ravens have going on, we're not always going to agree. And in my opinion, I think that's fine, because when you disagree, when you disagree respectfully and you can communicate about it, you can show somebody else what, hey, this is why I think this is that. And then they could be like, oh, no, I don't agree. Let me tell you why I think that is actually this. See, but a lot of people, they they don't do that. They don't do that. Well, to keep it clean, y'all do it, which I appreciate a lot. But a lot of times there are people that they can't express themselves with respect so then stuff can get nasty. But I mean, just as far as not being on the same page, I think it's just just a different thought process. People think of things different ways. People see things differently and that's fine. We're not all going to see the same thing the same way. But one thing that all Ravens fans do have in common, we want to win. But super what if next question came from my guy, Michael. He said, morning to you and the family. Hope all is well. Hey, morning, Michael. He said, OK, here's the question. OK, he said, what if Lamar asked Brady to be the new OC? Wow, that would be something right there. Tom Brady, I mean, Tom Brady would have to retire first. So I don't even think it would come to that. Whatever happens happens. Next question came from my guy, Rodel. He said, good day, my guy. Hope all is well with you, your family and all the team. Keep it clean. I really hate to be Debbie Downer here, but here we go. Here we go. We got to say just me personally, I've kind of stepped into the lost confidence phase with our Baltimore Ravens. This could just be me, but I simply don't believe we are as close as everyone else believes we are. And I can't figure out why I feel this way. I'm not sure we are a DeAndre Hopkins away. I don't believe he himself is enough. I'm not sure if it's coaching. I'm not sure if it's confidence in QB one. I'm not sure if it's the roster, but we haven't truly made noise since winning the Super Bowl. And that is a fact. Ravens have not made any noise, really, since winning the Super Bowl. They won two playoff games. And that's been that. They've had some some nice rosters here and there, but they just they ain't been able to close. They are obviously a well-respected organization amongst the league and what not, but they just they ain't been making anything happen. Anything significant happen in the postseason. And that's when things matter the most. Obviously, regular season starts there. They've been doing some things there, but come postseason. Yeah, man. So anyway, he said, and ever since Lamar, no noise when it matters most. OK, I should have kept reading. Now, it truly bothers me that Brock Purdy and Joe Burrow have more playoff wins than Lamar Jackson. Oof, that is a nasty truth right there. Yuck. Because what Purdy got, what, two of them, right? Because the 49ers, they beat the Cowboys and they beat with the Seahawks the week before, I think something like that. And then with Joe Burrow, I mean, yeah, they they won a division last year, went to the Super Bowl. So that already put them ahead of Lamar with the playoff wins. And then now this year, they they beat the beat the Ravens in the playoffs, as a matter of fact. And then they beat the Beals, too. And I told y'all, man, I really thought Beals was winning it all. I thought that was set in stone. I'm like, oh, yeah, NFL going right. But they know Bengal said, nope. And now they are in a position to be playing to play in the Super Bowl again, two straight years. That's got to be an amazing feeling, man. But anyway, he said, it bothers me that when the Bengals went into vision and back to back years, they get to the Super Bowl one year and are currently one game. I got to just keep reading and stop talking. And are currently one game from going back. It bothers me that since Lamar was drafted until now, Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs have been in every single last AFC Championship game. Yes, they've been doing a thing over there. I tweeted it a couple of days ago that the Chiefs, they live in the AFC Championship games every year. But anyway, it seems no matter how many draft picks or great drafts we have, we come up short. No matter how many great end season trades our Ravens make, we come up short. No matter how much regular season success we have, we come up short. The one time we get to the division around, we look awful and haven't returned in two years. Making it out the division is not automatic for us anymore. Sure ain't. It seems since he is here and here to stay with an amazing core. Oh, yeah, you got to respect it. And even then, if we make it out the division and if we make the playoffs next year, we haven't seen Lamar in the playoffs in two years. Oh, yeah, we haven't. His regular season resume and playoff resume are totally different. Seeing all this, I love this team and will always be a Ravens fan. I'm just done with going in feeling like this could be the year or championship or bus for it seems we come up shorter and shorter every year with the same explanation and exit and execution to why. Meanwhile, the Chiefs and our division rival do it with these. Remember staying relevant over championships compete over contend. That's powerful right there, man. That this was a that was that was yeah. And yeah, that's what it's been. And that's a harsh reality. I remember last year going into I guess this year because it's season ain't over yet, but going into this season. I said, I didn't see the Ravens as a Super Bowl contender. I didn't see them as a contender. People asked they were and we did it on question from subscribers plenty of time to people say, oh, what do you think the Ravens are going to do this year? How do you have for you think they're going to get? I said, I think AFC championship the farthest they're going to go. I thought I always thought they would definitely make the playoffs. I thought they'll be 12 and five. Obviously, things changing. I know with Lamar's injury that that changed a lot, but they were 10 and 7, I think. But I just I did not see them as a Super Bowl team. I didn't. I was hoping that they would prove me wrong. But I just didn't see them as a Super Bowl team. And depending on we'll see how things go next year. But now moving forward, things just got that much more difficult. They got that much more difficult. So it's like I can see what my guy, Rodel, is coming from, because when things when things were easier, so to speak. And what I mean when I say easier, as far as like with the contracts and stuff, how the contracts were set up with Lamar, being on a rookie deal, when things were easier, so to speak, Ravens didn't take full advantage and they and now things will be harder because if they keep Lamar, yeah, he's going to count a significant amount toward the cap and whatnot. In the first couple of years, it'd be straight. I mean, even after that, it'll be straight to they can always work it out. And it just depends on how bad do you want it or how bad do you want this player, that player, that player, if you really want somebody, you can make it happen.  Oh, well, if they want to, we'll see what happens with that. But you got to keep them in the first place. And then on top of that, you got to do this whole roster, like not the whole roster over again, but especially on offense. You you got to because you even got offensive coordinator right now. Like as this recording, they didn't even got an offensive coordinator right now. You talk about you going to rebuild the wire receiver room.  So I if I had to guess where your lack of confidence was coming from, I think it will be because the Ravens have all the same leadership in place as far as owner, as far as GM, as far as head coach.  I think he will be a significant difference maker, but in my opinion, it will take more than that. It will take for me, it will take more so philosophy changes as well. Because obviously the plate on the field has to be good, too. But it starts off the field. So so much stuff would have to change for these Ravens to really, like really be for real. CD Lamb, next question came from my boy Dylan. He said, I ain't gravy and hope all is well with the family. And let's get ready for a whirlwind of an offseason. Yeah, that's what it's going to be. I know there's a lot of speculation about Lamar. And honestly, we don't deserve him. But if we keep him, we better make the most of them. Anyway, to my point, in my opinion, I think Rashad Bateman can be that dude. I truly do. Just to put in perspective, he was available for seven games, although there was one or two games you could tell he couldn't go. And was our fifth leading receiver in yards. Third, if you take out the tight ends, this speaks volumes and how much we need that number one guy. See, with that, it all depends on how you look at it. Yeah, Rashad Bateman, he going to be nice. I just hope that he can stay healthy. I just really felt that everybody can stay healthy. That's Lamar, too. Lamar, too. He's been he done gone out the past couple of a couple of seasons toward the end of the season. We hope that he can stay healthy for the full year with Bateman. We hope that he's just everybody, man, because health is wealth. Now, with Bateman, with him, what do you say? Being fifth or fifth leading receiver. That shows you how how much the receivers are not involved. The Bateman was out for a long time and nobody I mean, nobody like took off with anything as far as the receivers and whatnot. You know, there were injuries and whatnot and they would just never steal. That's like that shows you about this scheme. But anyway, well, their previous scheme, we'll see how the new one ends up being. He said the reason this email is titled CD Lam is because my family are cowboy supporters, which means I also see stuff what happens there. However, they drafted CD Lam when they didn't need to. They had a Mario Cooper and Michael Gallup at the time was coming along. There was no pressure on Lam and look how good he is now. In no ways am I comparing Bateman to Lam. But Bateman has shown that he can work the best corners in the game. He took Xavier and Howard to the cleaners earlier this season. Bateman, healthy as a number two, I think will be phenomenal, especially with a healthy duvet in the slot to work the linebackers. Anyway, that's just my thoughts with things I've seen. It doesn't always work, but I feel Bateman could be the one that breaks the mold. P.S. Dobbins is that man. If a player is telling you to give him the load of work, trust him and feed him. Otherwise, what does that message send? Well, yeah, we don't have what message that sent. But now apparently Greg Roman stepped down. So anyway, yeah, I like how you put that about when CD Lam came in with a Mario Cooper, Michael Gallup. There was other guys around to really alleviate the pressure off of him. And that's what I've been hoping that they would do with Bateman, too. And I mean, I hope that they did that with him from jump. And with they they did, but they didn't two years ago. When had Hollywood, so he was continuing to come along, drafted Bateman. So I was like, hyped about that. And they had signed Sammy Watkins. But I was like, I was Sammy Watkins, like, cool. But we can't trust him because he's injury prone. He's missed a lot of time with injury that ended up showing itself. Then Bateman got hurt. And then the following year, then they traded Hollywood. Sammy was going, well, temporarily he ended up coming back later, but they ended up getting hurt again, unfortunately. But still, it was all on him in the Ravens. Not only was all the pressure on Bateman to be the guy, but all the pressure was on the Ravens for him to be the guy because it was Bateman or bus last year. Bateman got hurt. Everything, it went to shambles. So hopefully this year, again, all the guys can stay healthy. But hopefully this year, they can really, like, really add some significant talent to go along with Bateman and go along with Duvenay, go along with whoever else is here. And that's both via trade, because in free agency, we're looking a little too much, we'll see. But that's via trade or free agency and also the draft, too. Well, that's my home. He ain't that right in gravy, right in gravy. Team Keep It Clean. Welcome to another episode of Questions From Sub. So you can ask any question you want to. And we answered in a video just like this.

Because if you send it anywhere else, it's going right in the garbage. Anyway, next question came from my guy, Dan. He said, peeing on us more and telling them it's raining. Oh, yikes. Hey, Engraving, hope all is well with you and the family, especially your little one. Hey, appreciate that.  But anyway, he said, I have a lot to say about the Ravens. Frankly, I do not trust nothing. They said at the press conference, firstly, all the smoke that they allowed to leak out of the building about the Lamar. And then right after the season is over, they come out and saying all is well. They just peed on Lamar. And now they're telling him it's raining. Oh, Roquan deserve his. Oh, well, first off, with that part, that that was significant. And I do see what you're saying because, yeah, there was a lot of stuff coming out. There was this story after this story and this story. And they they didn't do anything to refute it. They just let it continue to pile on. And that's that's your quarterback. You're supposed to be defending him as a team.  They hear all of that stuff. They hear all of it. But they didn't step in to shut it down. So that that was something. Now, when they did, they eventually did. And I remember we made a video about it. I just wish they would have done it sooner than they did. So anyway, he said, Roquan deserve his money. And I'm glad he got it because he made the defense better. However, as they pointed out that the press conference, it took six days to do the contract. Why did it take six days? You may ask because they're offering the most guaranteed money in the highest per year salary at his position. After that, what is there to haggle about? Offer Lamar the most guaranteed money in the highest yearly average salary at his position and the deal will be done done in six hours. Hey, look, OK, you you might be an agent. Check you out when he said they are cast trading his leadership inside the locker room because they are basically telling everyone they don't really believe in Lamar. The team will start feeling the exact same at the slightest hint of any trouble on the field. Who do you think the Ravens are showing that they are believing more believing in more and who their leader is Smith or Lamar? That is such a great question. That is such a great question. And I think they've definitely been shown that is Roquan. I think they've definitely been because they've been pushing him. And I remember my guy, Mike B, he said in a question months ago about this and I didn't see it back then. I did not see it back then. But as time has gone along and you just you see them sort of sort of elevating Roquan to a this is the guy. This is who we follow. And that's our leader. That's who we we're riding behind. And it's nothing wrong with having more than one leader on a team. That's a great thing when you can have multiple leaders. But it's really seeming like that's the direction that they're going in. But this offseason, this question, I can't fully answer this question. This offseason wielder. Next question came from my guy, Jake. He said, what's up in Graven? And as Jake here, I hope you and the family and the viewers are doing great. I want to say thanks on behalf of all of Team Keeper Clean viewers. Thank you for another wonderful season of coverage. Keep it up. I appreciate that, man. Now, diving into it, some offseason changes. I really hope EDC and Harvest aren't lying about this wide receiver room. We all do. With that said, I say splash and trade for DeAndre Hopkins. I know it'll have some problems with cap and salaries and all that. But as we know, the cap is cap. Hey, bringing that back, baby. He said, keeping DuVernay Bateman coming back. And honestly, I'd have Robinson back really stepped up. Also, adding DeAndre Hopkins into that. That's a great receiving court. That could be something that could certainly be something, especially if everybody could stay healthy. Yeah, they could do some things to clear up some cap. Peters is going. Kalaeus retires. Houston retires. No need for JPP. I think all of that happened in regardless with whether the Ravens upgrade this receiver room or not. But he said, there's cap opening up, but got to feel those roster hold. If I'm EDC, I'm using that first rounder on the corner. Hmm. Hmm. I think it all depends. Me, I'm thinking receiver. Everything just depends on if Lamar is here or not. But anyway, I said, lastly, Dobbins, we have a real massive talent on our hands. And because of that, Edward should be traded or cut in my opinion. Well, I says a lot of people getting on this trade or cut. Gus Edwards trained. That's a lot of them. Now, the only way I would agree with that. Me, I love just the more talent you have back there, the better, in my opinion. Um, but the only way, the only thing that would make me. Oh, yeah, cut Gus Edwards or trade them will be if they're going to continue not to use him, if you just going to have him sitting around, post it up, chilling. All right. And then actually you make J.K. the guy. They have not made him the guy yet. They haven't done it. They've had opportunities to, but they haven't done it. It seemed like they going to, but they haven't done it. So that would be the only reason. But I don't know, man. Anyway, he said, that was just great. And his cap hit us about five mil, but we cut back on the crazy talent Dobbins has to play a guy who isn't as talented. I'm not a fan of the running back by committee when you have a stud running back one. That's powerful right there. Um, as far as that, I see what you're saying. But yeah, because that's what I'm saying about it. But if you're not going to use him, all right, let him be. Let him go somewhere that we'll actually use him. But it's nice. It's nice to have him there, man. It's nice to have him there just in cases. It's nice to have a good RB two, so to speak. Um, even though you don't even have a clear RB one because that's, but I would just, um, yeah, the running back by committee, it's like yes and no, all at the same time. If you just sharing carries, just to share carries.  Okay, cool. But yeah, I see what you're saying, but ah, man, it'd be tough for me for Gus and I know you can get running backs here and there and everywhere and Ravens do a pretty good job overall of, uh, making running backs, um, especially with them being a running team. Um, but and especially if, if Lamar was back to, like, you see how JK was running and Lamar wasn't even there. Imagine Lamar back to Lamar, just as that element with defense has got to be like, oh, now we got to watch for him to run too, because we know they going to call some QB keepers. We know that they going to make LaVar take off. But, um, yeah, if you, man, but that's Gus though, man, question came from my God, Donovan. He said, what's up in Graven? Hope you're in a family doing good. Just wanted to ask, do you think the Ravens are looking for an offensive coordinator to be there long term or somebody we know who can come in and do the job, but might not stay for at least two years? For example, somebody proven like Eric, the enemy, I would love to have him join the Ravens, but I think if he has a successful year, there's no way he continues to stay unless we offer him a head coaching job because he's bound to get one eventually. That is a really, really great question. Um, I think somebody asked something along these lines recently, but this is such a great question.  I'm not, I'm not sure why, but if you bring somebody like him in and he comes and turn this thing around, then people could be looking at him like, Hey, there be enemy. We want to interview you for our head coaching job, especially if you, uh, but at the same time, are the Ravens doing that? Is John Hubbell preparing to retire? Me personally, I don't think so. Um, but you never know, but I don't think so. I don't think he looking to retire anytime soon right now. Um, I know there has been some people thinking that and like sort of speculating on and whatnot, but I just don't think he getting ready to retire. Um, but yeah, that would be something.  Uh, so maybe they may not get as many looks, uh, for head coaching opportunity. Um, and they would be here for a bit longer than somebody who's more established with that. That's such a really, really great question. And man, you, man, I don't even know what to say. Chicken before the egg. Next question came from my guy. Griff, he said, uh, do you think the Ravens will have to resolve the Lamar situation before making a decision on the offensive coordinator job? No, I think you'll be offensive coordinator first because you have to do everything you can to keep them. Well, if you want to keep them on, you have to do everything you can to keep them on. So say, for instance, you choose the offensive coordinator, somebody that he wasn't feeling that he could definitely be like, all right, well, yeah, you know what, it was fun Baltimore. I appreciate everything. So, uh, I think it would have to be the offensive coordinator. Um, and then, uh, probably franchise tag, but then you show him like, all right, Lamar, this is what we're going to do. We're going to bring in this receiver and you actually make it happen. And then after that, uh, you will hope to sign him to a longterm deal. What if we sign old Dale? Next question came from my guy, 10. He said, oh, there's going to be healthy someday. Oh, yeah, he said someday. Uh, do you think he'll be in price range for the Ravens to, uh, maybe try for their reports last late in the season, saying that they were still speaking with old Dale. Uh, so what do you think of the possibility? He's the vet. Why receive it at the Raven sign? I do think it's a possibility that that happens. Uh, since they have been keeping tabs, uh, on him and with him. Um, so I do, do think it's a possibility. Um, it's just with old Dale, when he plays, he can play that boy can play. Um, but my, my worry would be his health. So say, for instance, what if you went and got Deandre Hopkins like, all right, cool. Uh, what if you went and drafted, uh, still receiving to somebody NFL ready to, okay, cool. And then on top of that, what if you sign old Dale Beckham, Jr. Okay, cool. And you still got Rashad Bateman and Devon Duvin. They coming back. Okay. I'm cool with it. Next question came from my guy, Stefan. He said, what's up in Graven. Got a quick question for you with left which being let go. Do you think we have a shot at getting him as our offensive coordinator? I think they definitely do. Uh, and apparently they are interested in Byron left, which as a possible candidate for the offensive coordinator position. Um, or the role, whatever. Uh, so yeah, I think they definitely got a shot. Um, Ravens apparently are really stretching, casting their net far and wide, um, with different offensive coordinator or possible offensive coordinators. I don't think nobody's been hired yet. Uh, as far as the teams that need the offensive coordinator, nobody's been hired yet. Been some interviews, a lot of interviews here and there, but nobody's been hired yet. So I think once their first domino falls, whoever ends up making it fall, then the other teams will start following. Your Lamar, next question came from my guy, Ronald, he said, Hey, hope all is well and the family is doing great. What if you were Lamar and Ravens offered you 190 male guaranteed? You picked the offensive coordinator, bona fide number one wide receiver via trade and either a wide receiver you picked in the draft or Marquis Brown, you know, Hollywood ain't coming back here. Would you sign? Um, I would do all of that first. I would go through everything first, um, before because if, because you could offer the money and what if I signed already and be like, all right, thanks.  Hmm, we'll take care of the rest of the stuff. No, uh, you show me that you're going to do all this stuff first. Then we'll talk to contract. And the last question on this episode came from my guy, Leon. He said, applying the pressure and gravy and hope all as well. It looks like opposing defenses are not the only ones applying pressure on Lamar. We have seen in recent days and reports of current teammates, former players, term media members and reporters pressure on Lamar to play through his injury. He sent this on January 15th. By the way, uh, he said, however, the Ravens come off as the model franchise seeming to be supporting of Lamar, but I am not going to let the Ravens organization off the hook. The Ravens have been pressuring Lamar since he got injured six weeks ago. Fans just haven't seen it. Let me tell you how as a counselor, it is easy for me to recognize manipulation, which is a form of pressure to get people to do what you want them to do. Ooh, this is about to be good. Uh, when Lamar first got injured, hardball came out and said after the MRI that Lamar was week to week, that's true. Uh, at the same time, ESPN media said a PCL injury, uh, requires at least three weeks to heal. This put Lamar in a one to three week timetable to return. The pressures applied as the Ravens were reluctant to rule him out for a three week period, setting on a weekly decision on to play status. This is so Lamar keeps it in mind that the timetable exists. Now here is where the pressure gets ramped up. A Baltimore sports columnist writes the scathing report about Lamar slacking being inactive in his rehab. This puts Lamar's character in question before the whole sports world. Mm hmm. That was an article by Mike Preston. He said, any time you make allegations about someone's character, especially when it has been the opposite of what has been evident is defaming. The pressure, though, is, uh, covertly being applied by the Ravens. And here's how the columnist who wrote the story about Lamar is well known to the Ravens organization. Thus brings into question. Did the Ravens know about the story or article before its release publicly? Of course they did. There's absolutely no way the Ravens did not have the heads up. Maybe even gave the go-ahead when there's such a negative narrative about the star quarterback. Mm hmm. Now, why would they do this to put pressure on Lamar to prove the public perception wrong and to get back on the field? We can see this is manipulating pressure because within a few days, the same columnist does a 180 and recants the entire piece. Now, what would make him do that? I will tell you what the same people who gave the OK to write the initial story, the Ravens realized that Lamar did not take the bait to rush back. As a result, the Ravens realized they were in danger of alienating Lamar, so they had the columnist recant the entire story. Now, the columnist looks foolish because he could not have wrote that story without consent, but the columnist cannot reveal his thoughts. But in the truth, Ravens are the only one with information about Lamar's situation. We know that Lamar's camp is always buttoned up. Mm hmm. So you talking about that the game within the game, the business that is a nasty business. Oof. He said, additionally, the most recent reports that Lamar can play through his injury and the suggestion by former players turned commentator and also teammates are pressure or pressuring to provoke Lamar to play. Furthermore, as Lamar provided his own injury update, the same media persons and teammates seem to oppose his account of his injury. More Ravens pressure is the most recent report that the Ravens still want Lamar to sign in the offseason. Wow, what manipulation or in pressure. The reports come out while car week when the Ravens are most desperate for a win. The pure need of a win this weekend is why the we want to sign Lamar narrative came out. I say this because they could have made the same claim the first, second, third or any other week Lamar was out injured but applying the pressure during crunch time is clear manipulation. Oh man, you just you on it. Lamar sees it too. That is why he came out with his own self report. When have we heard of an injured player provide that type of insight to an injury before? That's true. That's like that's different. That's that's really different. Like that they don't be doing that. Like anyway, he said we haven't now the Ravens have allowed Lamar's back to go uncovered, allowing the idea that he does not work hard, allowing the idea that he can play through his injury and allowing the idea to circulate that it is about a contract. See Sammy Watkins comment. You don't allow a player who has only been back for two or three weeks to make that statement unless it is to pressure Lamar. You see the pressure is all done through the media so that the Ravens keep their hands clean. Let me know what you think. That was deep. And yeah, the media is definitely used to spend stuff to put stuff out there to leak stuff to change the fans and public perception of different players and whatnot. It is definitely real. And again, this offseason, we are going to so much of what we've been thinking and wondering about. So many of our questions are finally going to be answering a lot of this stuff that you mentioned. So much of it this offseason. It should be cleared up. You to keep it clean. You see my boy. He like automated. Well, that's my home. He ain't that right in gravy. Right in gravy. Shout out to the gravy.


If you live in an RV like I do, you definitely want to know how much liquid is in your tanks, but they get all gummed up.  Today, I'm going to show you three different ways to clean the sensors inside your tanks. Today, I'm going to show you three different methods you can use that are super easy to clean off your sensors. One uses baking soda and vinegar. Another uses automatic dishwashing and soap. And the third, bleach tablets. Here's the control panel in my RV. You can see right now, before I dump the tanks, one gray tank reads as three quarters full. The other one reads as three quarters full. And my black tank reads as half full. Now I'm going to go dump the tanks. I'm going to empty my black tank first. Now I'm going to do my first gray tank and then my second gray tank.  I just emptied the gray and black tanks. Let's see what the sensors say now. Three out of four, two out of four, and two out of four. See what I mean? Those are empty and they should not read as if they are half full. I'm going to fix it.   Now I'm going to clean the black tank with bleach. And each of the gray tanks with two different methods. I'm going to show those to you right now. Let's start with the black tank. If you saw my video last week about disinfecting the fresh water tank, then you know that I like to use these little bleach tablets. For the black tank, I put four of these bleach tablets directly down in the toilet. And then I finish it off with hot water from the shower. The steam from the hot water makes all the difference. The second way I'm going to clean the sensors in my tanks is to put automatic dishwashing soap into the first gray tank with hot, steamy water. Here comes the hot water. And here comes the dishwashing powder. It's just as easy. For the third method, I'm going to use the Tridentru vinegar and baking soda, also with steamy hot water. Here's another quick tip.  In the other gray tank, I'm going to put hot water and an entire container of baking soda, and then vinegar. This is great for cleaning the screens on your fans, too. Probably let the vinegar and baking soda, and automatic dishwashing soap that I have in the two different gray tanks, stay in there longer than I would the bleach. But the bleach and the black tank, I'm only going to leave in there three hours, because otherwise the bleach can wreck your seals. My sensor cleaning solutions have been sitting in my black and two gray tanks for several hours. Remember, one has bleach, one has automatic dishwashing detergent, and the other one has vinegar and water. So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to dump all three, fill them up with water again to rinse them, and then check the sensors. I just checked my sensors. And really, all of the methods worked great, except for the gray tank that had the automatic dish soap. Isn't reading is completely empty. It still says that it has two bars. Now, I think if I was able to drive around with that dish soap, so it was sloshing around and getting up in the corners, it probably would have completely cleaned that sensor, but I can't do that today. So I'm going to go ahead and go back and add vinegar and baking soda into that sink that goes down to that gray tank, because that's the method that seemed to work best. Okay, I'm back to the control panel. Let's see how we did this time. Empty. Second tank. Empty. Black tank. The all read is empty. Success. All done. I added vinegar and baking soda to that tank that wasn't reading quite right. And now, when I rinsed out that tank, it reads as empty, which is great because I'm about to leave this RV park. And when I go boondocking, I'm going to know exactly how full my tanks are. I hope to see you guys again next Sunday. Please subscribe and share this video with your friends. Until then, I hope you're all doing well out there. Have happy travels and be free.


The powerful religion was transmitted from India to China along the so-proud. This was Buddhism. The Chinese government built a great monastery on the outskirts of the eastern Han capital, Luoyang, to accommodate the holy Indian guests and to start the propagation of Buddhist teachings. The historical Baima Sea Monastery in Luoyang attracts Buddhist monks and tourists from all over Asia until this day. The first among the enterprising monks ready to come to India was Faheen, who began his journey in 399 A.D. After crossing Central Asia, he reached Northwestern India in 402 A.D. Settling at Pataliputlu, Patna, he intensively studied early Sanskrit Buddhist sutras. The account that Faheen has left of his travels in India is a valuable record of Buddhism. The Sino-Indian-Buddhist connection was responsible for the joint creation of Mahayanaism, a form of Buddhism. China's most famous martial arts tradition, or Kung Fu, was developed by a prominent Indian monk, Bodhidharma. Bodhidharma came from a Shatriya family in South India. Therefore, the roots of Shaoli martial arts can be traced to Kalaripayatu, the martial art form of Kerala. While China learned how to manufacture sugar from India, the technique of turning red-nose lasses into white sugar migrated from China to India. Thus the word genie indicates a Chinese origin. Exports to India consisted of clon, alum, camphor, pepper, sugar, sugarcane, and China wine, while imports included rock cotton, ivory, sandalwood, silver, and erbium. This country trend accounted for 30% of the total British trade at Canton between 1764 and 1800. The China Bhavan at Shantiniketan in Calcutta drew a lot of Chinese families to India in the late 1930s. This led to the formation of a fairly large Chinese community in north-eastern India. This community has grown rapidly over the years and has peacefully coexisted and very easily assimilated Indian culture. Chinese leaders like Sun Yat-sen maintained close contacts and established cooperation with well-known Indian revolutionaries. Independent India was the second country to establish diplomatic ties with and recognize the realist China. Both countries stand ready to strengthen economic cooperation and exchanges with each other. Both countries have realized the full potential of their partnership.
