Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspeyscasewrakes.com with 2021 Panini Flawless Collegiate Football. We got it done. This is pick your team number nine, number nine, number nine, and from a fresh case as well. A very big thanks to this group for getting it on the action. Thanks to all the people who bought their spots, who bought their teams straight up. I always appreciate that. Before we pulled out the teams for the random number blocks, it was Nick with the New York Giants who ended up with the last spot mojo before we pulled the remainder of the teams and then turned that group of teams into a serial number break where for that big group of teams there you get a whole block of numbers based on the serial number. You'll see an example once we start ripping open this case. Now let's figure out which briefcase we're going to do. So there's two in each case. All right, so I'm going to select a die and then roll the die and it'll be one, two, three for the top briefcase and four, five, six for the bottom briefcase. And it's four, one, two, three, four, five, six, we're going to do the bottom briefcase. Top briefcase, we can run this back tonight if you want to. We've got plenty of time to break it if you'd like. So we'll save this for pick your team number 10. Only a team still left. If you've missed out on your teams the first time, I would love to run this back tonight. We're almost halfway there, halfway full on this. And then if we kind of get it close to single digits, maybe we can pop another group of teams into a number block. That might help get this to break so a lot more quickly. Nick Messaging told you to go ahead and do both cases. That's what he told me too once it fills up. So 19 teams left. Yeah, we can do both briefcases. Good call Rex. 19 teams left in the other one. Let's knock that out and we can do both. I'm going to go with the way Jason does it by covering up the encase cards with the blanks. Let's cover that one up. Not even really looking at it. I want to be just as surprised as you are. We'll do this, do the cards in the box first. All right. And once again, oh, I don't really know what to do. I mentioned this on the video, but we flip back here really quick. But there's a checklist now. So we're going by that group break checklist, which I have up right now. I need some posted notes. We'll help the shipping team out. We'll mark the cards right away. All right. Good luck, everybody. First one. I know where this player goes. Six out of 25. That's Kennedy. Six out of 25. That's Kenneth Gainwell. Rookie Relic. He was a Memphis tiger and then turned into a bird. That goes to Allen and the Eagles who got the Eagles straight up. Next one. Another Eagle, nine out of 25. Some great relics here. Looks like the capital, a capital one bowl or something like that. Nine out of 25, Devonta Smith. Capital one's a sponsor, maybe? Either way. Devonta Smith, dual relic, looks really sharp. Kind of like that. I don't know if it's kind of hard to see, but there's like a tiny little football right there in that foil. It's a nice little touch. It's another one for the Eagles, Allen with the Fly Eagles Fly. Team logo signatures coming up to 25. Seven out of 25, team logo signatures. Gary Brightwell. And Gary Brightwell is a New York football giant. And that goes to Last Bot Mojo. Nick, 70% of the time, as people say. Last Bot Mojo hits 100% of the time. Next, dual relic and autograph. A former Florida State player. It's Cam Akers. Dual relic and auto. It's got a nice autograph. Two out of 25. And that will go to the Rams. And Rams are a number block team. So that goes to Rams 2. That's Stephen Kay with Rams 2 on the board. We got a LSU team logo signatures out of 15. Then it's Patrick Peterson. That looks really sharp. I like the logo. The foil looks really cool. Nice autograph. Nine out of 15. And that's Minnesota Patrick Peterson. And this is a 2020 update card. Yeah, you can see it's from 2020. And that's Allen Murdoch with the Vikings. 14 out of 15. Another nice bowl patch coming up. Bowl patch and autograph. Trey Sermon. That's an excellent patch. Running back for the Niners.  And if Elijah Mitchell doesn't play this weekend, I might see some more run out of Trey Sermon, I think. Another running back. Another nice patch. Another nice autograph. 14 out of 15. Travis Etienne. Poor Travis Etienne never really got his pro career going. Didn't play a regular season game. Got a major injury. Knocked him out of the season. What could have been. But he was pretty exciting in college. He'll be probably by low on him right now. Jacksonville Jaguars. That goes to Gale. Nice one, Gale. All right, now your three encased cards. I want to say the two over here should just be gems. Let me try to peek really good. No, that's an autograph, actually. Is that an autograph? I think a gem, an auto. Let's go left to right. And of course, all of the base gem cards, naturally mined, not lab grown. Good luck. Little orange. We got Kyle Pitts. Nice, Kyle Pitts Diamond. Six out of 25. That's really cool. He's having a nice season at Atlanta. Brody with the Falcons. That's his Falcons. Putting up some nice numbers. Once he gets comfortable in the league, this guy might be unstoppable. Unguardable. All right, next. Ooh, a little green foil. Five. Oklahoma. That is that Baker? Yeah. Four out of five, Baker Mayfield Emerald. Nice. Jeffrey with the Browns. Picked up Cleveland Browns straight up. Cleveland, this is for you. And all aboard the Big Hit Express. Woo-hoo. And the final one. This is the auto. Who is it going to be? We got a 15. We got a Cowboys cars? No, this is college. Whatever college that is? It is? Oh, it is a cowboy. Dak Prescott. Actually, that's more of a maroon color. That's a Mississippi State Bulldog color there. And now a cowboy. Very nice. Hopefully the Cowboys won't get back on track against my Raiders on Thursday. Stephen Kendrick with Dallas. The Cowboys straight up. But maybe the week after that, he can start killing it again. There you go, Stephen. And there you go, everybody. The case is closed on Pick Your Team 9. Pick Your Team 10 in the store right now. If you want to run this back tonight, we've got plenty of time to fill it, break it, and pull some more heat out of here. Thanks for watching, everybody. We'll see you next time for the next break. Bye-bye.


It's very strange that your level of access depends on the media like you said that when watching TV in Poland you find less accessibility than the United Kingdom but actually you enjoy going to cinema because most films in Poland, all four films will be subtitled and it's easy to find a screening near your home and so that's a very interesting experience. When you look back to your early years and maybe as a teenager you already said that you enjoyed going to cinema with friends watching those foreign films because I guess you couldn't watch Polish films because they were not subtitled, they were subtitling only foreign films at that time and I guess on television if you wanted to watch a series there was not even much less subtitling than today so would you say that we have made a lot of progress in general when it comes to technology and now a life of a hard of hearing person is easier or maybe because there's also more online interaction and so on maybe there are new difficulties that you didn't have in the past as a hard of hearing community. The progress in Poland is visible to me so there is no denying the fact when I met Agnieszka I think in 2012 I think we met in Warsaw during the seminar I've organized it was not as good as it is now so there is a progress but obviously we have to remember that UK have had the act communication act in 2003 given 10 years to go to 80% or even 100% of subtitling therefore you know you are basically catching up but you are catching up fast which is really positive news and I think you know the mentality the approach towards people with hearing loss is also slowly changing we're talking more about it when online platforms help us to mobilize to speak more about it so that definitely has helped and of course hard of hearing people are becoming even more and more impatient because they communicate with the data and I always found the role of the umbrellas global umbrellas international umbrellas is important because they put together people who do not have any accessibility with people who have very good accessibility and therefore we can learn from each other we can learn how to to lobby what is needed and what we actually missing because my motto is what do you know when you actually don't know and there are countries where hard of hearing people have no idea what my life is like in UK and what kind of accessibility I have which I sometimes take for granted yeah I have to jump in here and say that it does depend on the country definitely but it also depends so much on the language we are now meeting on zoom and we've got all the life captions on and they're working quite well I have to say but then we're speaking in English if we were to sweet and to polish that wouldn't work right so there's still I suppose a lot to be done in terms of other languages yes you are absolutely right and during the recent and Slovenian presidency of the European Union there was a really interesting conference on audiovisual media services directive European Accessibility Act which is also directive and all the different discussions around this and one of the most important discussions was while we are showing UK as the good example and the leader on accessibility we have to also understand that UK in some ways and Americans are lucky ones because those languages have been invested so much into that everybody can have that kind of access but when it comes to minority languages the investment and working around them and developing them it's still not at the same level as with English language so that that is also an area where your European Federation of how the hearing people is looking at that we need to have those minority languages invested in

Okay, we'll start by reading a very well-known Proverbs 9 verses 10 and 11. Proverbs 9 verses 10 and 11 says, The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. Verse 11, For by me your days will be multiplied and years of life will be added to you. So it's talking about the fear of the Lord, which means a reverent awe of God. And so when we fear the Lord, we don't want to displease. We rather want to delight His heart. So the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It's a start, first step towards wisdom. It says the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. So the knowledge of the ways of God, the will of God, somehow growing in that understanding and knowledge is understanding, general understanding itself that comes to us because of that. And so one thing that we understand, one that we learn from this is that wisdom, we might say, okay, worldly wisdom or wisdom, the right way to apply knowledge comes from knowing God. And it makes sense because He's the all-knowing One. So the fear of the all-knowing One, the omniscient One, is the beginning of wisdom for us. The beginning of the know-how, how to apply what we know. It comes from knowing the all-knowing One, hearing the all-knowing One, honoring and respecting the all-knowing One. And it says, for by me, it's talking about wisdom figuratively, for by me, your days will be multiplied and years of life will be added to you. So somehow this wisdom that comes from knowing God, this wisdom that comes from fearing the Lord, it adds to our life rather than take away, it adds to our life. And it says that the days will be multiplied and years of life will be added to you. And then again we see that the Lord Jesus himself said that I am the way, the truth and the life. Of course, he was talking about the God kind of life, more than just by us or just living or existing, biologically living, just body is functioning and we're doing some things. And rather than that, we actually live the God kind of life, spiritually enriched life with meaning and that kind of life we live. And it says years of life will be added to us. And then again, we understand it all goes back to knowing, fearing and living the way he wants, the fear of the Lord. That's the source. So maybe direct our hearts to him this morning. Say, God, may I understand what it is to fear you, to reverentially walk in the fear of you and may I not take things for granted and walk in your ways. Let's pray. Father, we thank you Lord for these words Lord, maybe walk, Lord, knowing you, walking in step with you, maybe walk in the fear of you, God, reverential awe and fear of you, God. Father, we thank you that you have promised that when we do that, that we will walk in life. And Father, we thank you that there is addition and multiplication, Lord, in terms of number of days and not only that, oh God, knowing you, oh God, our quality of life, oh God, changes, we are greatly enriched, oh God, we're greatly enriched with everything that you supply, Father, God, with purpose and intentment and peace and joy and love, oh God. And Lord, we just want to thank you for that. Thank you for the quality of life. Thank you for that. But even the duration, Lord, the quantum of life, oh God, here on earth and in what it is to come, oh God, Lord, it's because of you and we want to thank you for that, God. And maybe, Lord, while our time here on earth maybe walk in knowing you, in fearing you, God, and obeying your ways, Lord, we thank you. In Jesus' name we pray, amen, amen. Okay, so I think we're almost nearing the end of our sessions and material, what we've been studying in inner wholeness. So today we are, you know, last class yesterday we looked at living daily with a renewed mind. And so we'll continue with that. We looked at a few things. I just want to reiterate that we said to live daily, you know, we are taking on certain things. When we say with a renewed mind, we're taking on certain things, taking on the thoughts and ways of God, taking on the attitude of Christ, taking on the knowledge of God. And to live daily with a renewed mind, it means it's a continuous process of, a continuous process, daily process of receiving revelation and growing in the knowledge of God. And also understanding that, you know, walking in the conquest of the mind, knowing that, well, the mind is a battlefield, knowing that we need to take every thought captive, we need to renew our minds, and also to have a word-based mindset, which is a positive mindset, right? And the third thing that we saw was that we need to learn to balance certain things, reason, the renewed mind, the leading of the Holy Spirit, and also avoiding presumption. So that's why we stopped avoiding this whole pitfall of presumption. So presumption happens, let me just go there. When we have a wrong understanding, when we have a wrong understanding of God's word. In other words, if we think that we have heard from God, we assume that this specific instruction like whatever God is asking me to do, is from Him. It could be something that He's asking us to do, it could be something that He's maybe says, God, you know, you believe that, okay, God does not want me to do this. I remember having a conversation with the person who said, well, God does not want me to to share, to preach about Him. He's asking me to be silent now. I really don't know how much of that was, you know, whether that was heard right, because the Lord would want us to share about Him with others, whatever things that He's put in our heart, whatever small thing that we are learning. So He said nothing at all, no output. And it was a fairly long period of time. So I wasn't very sure, you know. So things like that, right? So we think that, okay, it's a very specific instruction and then we think that, okay, we've heard from God. Okay, and excuse me, and if we have not, if we really have not, but then we assume that that's an assumption, if we are presuming something. And when we looked at a couple of examples yesterday, how this couple who moved from, you know, from being in Bangalore to another place and resigned and, you know, it took a whole lot of things to get back to that place of, you know, how they were living and so on. You know, and nothing happened and they moved and they moved to that place. So obviously in the zeal, you know, we tend to presume some things in our zeal.  That also is true, right? That, you know, in our fear, we curtail. So, but that, we can't call that as a presumption. The presumption is mainly when we assume that, okay, this is what God is asking, telling me, so I'm moving ahead, I'm doing this, right? The second thing is also when we missupply a word of God, right? When we missupply something that, but is there in Scripture, you know, there is this principle, there is this verse, and because of my, maybe wrong understanding of it or because of my, you know, I understand it partially and then I apply it. I begin to live according to it. So I missupply God's word and then that becomes a problem, right? The whole thing of living by faith, okay? Now that's one way of, you know, that's a potential, you know, verse that God has called us just shall live by faith. So many times what is living by faith? You know, when it comes to maybe a servant, you know, we want to serve God and we want to live by faith. And many times we missupply that verse to mean that, okay, I cannot work to equate living by faith to not working. We equate living by faith to not earning. If I'm living by faith, it is that others should give me money, right? Somehow, well, I'm not belittling that that God will use such avenues. The one who fed, you know, Elijah with ravens, well, he's well able to bring finances into our lives, like through the lives of others. As long as we are living, you know, in the way that he wants us to or doing the things that he wants us to and that is exactly what he's called us to do. But many times we assume, you know, and there is a danger of assuming that fine living by faith, this is what it is, right? I'm not going to move a finger, I'm not going to budge. And I'm just going to do this, maybe preach and teach, and I'm not going to do anything else. Well, God might want you to maybe have and have a vacation and do it. Well, God has called some to be, you know, quote-unquote full-time, and that is also fine, right? But the thing is, when we miss-supply the Word of God, that is one potential verse from the supplying, right? So then, you know, there's one example that we have in the notes where we're talking to a very real incident which happened in the 1980s where young men who were missionaries and God was using them powerfully in science wonders and miracles. They had the gospel in many, you know, many villages and so on. And then they saw this river which was, you know, which was actually overflowing, which was quite full, and then they had to reach the other place and the bridge had actually been washed away and then the strong current and so on. But then they said, okay, we will walk on water, as Peter did. And then they began to attempt it and then they sank, right? It was very tragic. And then their lives ended that day, right? So, you know, did they do anything wrong? Well, was they right in assuming that if Peter could, they could also... Well, the thing is this, you know, the Lord asked Peter to walk, step out and walk, and he walked, right? It was faith on Peter's part to hear the word of God. And faith came even as he heard the instruction. God gave him a walk.  And then Lord Jesus said, come, and he obeyed and he went, right? So it was on a specific instruction. And here it wasn't so. So, you know, misapplying God's word. So how can we safeguard ourselves? You know, why are we studying all this? We are looking at living daily with a renewed mind. And as part of it, as part of living daily, of course, we are engaging with the word of God, right? As part of living daily in a practical way with a renewed mind. We engage with God himself, right? We are privileged to hear his voice. We are privileged to handle the word of God. And we want to order our lives according to that. And of course, God has gifted us with reason and our minds are being renewed. And, you know, we need to hold all this intention, right? That's why we are going through this, right? So how do I save God my life against presumption, right? First thing is to test all things. One Thessalonians 5 verse 21, test with the word of God. Test according to the nature of God. Test according to whether it's good, morally, ethically, right? And it is in line with the righteousness because he leads us in parts of righteousness. Psalm 23, very clear. And then so it's against the nature of God we know. So all these ways, right? Can God lead me in this way? If he has been leading me in a certain way, then, you know, he says God. So can I just jump in and take, you know, take that step and move in that direction? Or should I wait? Test it. There's also Godly Council problems. 1114 talks about that. Where, let me just read that verse. Where there is no council, the people fall. In the multitude of counsellors there is safety. So we see that in the multitude of counsellors there is safety, Godly Council. So that's a principle God has set. So he's speaking something to you or to me. And then I can always get Godly Council people who are walking with God and we can receive their counsel. Okay, wait for two or three confirmations. The spoken field or God has put something in your heart can also confirm that through the words of others. And that's what, you know, a word of knowledge and prophecy and all that. Actually a prophetic word confirms that. It brings edification, exhortation, comfort and there is confirmation because what's in your heart?  Yes, God has spoken. Yes, God wants me to do so. We can wait for not just one but we can wait for two or three confirmations. You know, as is by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word will be established. Second Corinthians 13 and verse one. So we can wait for confirmation. And the thing is this, we learn to listen and to obey the Lord in the small things. This is a big one.  Many times we want to jump in or we want to hear from God only at the crossroad of big, significant, heavy decisions. But what about simple ones? What about the small ones? So as we begin to hear God and as we begin to not just hear but obey God in the small things where the consequences are not critical or not big enough or not very costly. So we learn in confidence or we learn even from the mistakes where the consequences are not huge. We learn from those mistakes and we build strength in this area of hearing. We build strength. So it minimizes our potential for making mistakes. It minimizes our potential for jumping into wrong conclusions or presumptions. So I would say that, you know, something that really helps us to walk in this safeguard against presumption. So supposing we have made that mistake of, you know, we've made a mistake walking into presumption or making some choices, presuming certain things to be right or certain things to, as God has spoken and how do we come out of it? Okay. So the thing is presumption can be costly when we make some choices and then when we order our lives according to it, which means that we are living according to it. Now it can be confusion, it can bring delusion, right? A kind of a escapist mentality, delusional life where, you know, it can be highly confusing and it has the ability to lead us further and further into error. Why? Because we've rejected truth. And what we're following is not the truth, right? So it just leads us deeper and deeper into error. So it affects our emotional health. And the source where did it start? It started with presumption. So it affects our emotional health, our emotional wholeness and it does that in faces with confusion and delusion and so on. So the thing is the turn around happens when we recognize and accept the fact that we were wrong. Okay. That, yes, this did happen. We were wrong, we made a mistake. So first of all to recognize that. Okay. Now it takes humility to do that and also it requires, you know, God to speak to us because if we are living in a delusion, if we are living in, you know, in deception, right? Basically, our eyes are blinded, right? Our minds are blinded. And somewhere, you know, God just reaches out to this word, he speaks life, he speaks the truth and continues to reach out. God does not give up. The Holy Spirit is a spirit of truth. So he brings truth and the Holy Spirit is in us. He is truth himself. Jesus is the way of the truth and the life. So his character is nature, you know, is to bring truth. The Holy Spirit, if you can say the mission is to lead us into all truth, right? And when we know the truth, the truth will set us free. Set us free from error, set us free from fear, set us free from any kind of bondage and all that. So he will lead us into truth, right? So the Holy Spirit's ministry to the believer is to lead the believer into truth. So he will keep, he will keep at it. He will perceive us with truth. He will do that. So when we recognize something as false, when we recognize that it can, it needs, it takes humility, right? It takes humility where we come to the place saying, oh yes, I'm wrong. I, you know, the decision that I made was, maybe it was emotional, I was wrong. You know, I looked at all the signs, I ignored it, and I still went ahead with it. I was wrong, right? And it happens to the best of us. It happens when we are more with emotion. We want something so bad that we, that we just don't care to see all the red flags and all the signs and all the, you know, everything that God, people that God sends our way, we reject it and then we end in a very, you know, difficult place. We make them for a choice. So we need to accept that it was wrong. Okay, we need to recognize that it was wrong. The second thing is to accept responsibility and be willing to work through the changes. So what does that mean? That means that, okay, I accept responsibility for this. No blame. Like no blaming this person, that person actually told me that person only forced me, that person pushed me into this. Well, you know, that, those things do happen, but we've made a choice. We have a choice. And so to be willing to work through whatever we need to change. But this couple that I was talking about, they came to a place and realized that, you know, we made a mistake. Now, to accept that we've made a mistake, that's a big step. And to, you know, and to share with others, others are, we live in a society. We live, you know, we have steps, families, maybe church, maybe, you know, maybe we kind of announced it. We kind of told them, this is what it is and all that. And maybe some people said, don't do it. And then we went ahead and did it anyway. So, you know, we need to be able to face all those people and in humility, accept that we were, right? So that, that requires strength. So we need, but we need to do that. We need to be able to, you know, accept that and be willing to face that. And sometimes it's so difficult. We don't want to, you know, we're willing to do that. But unless we do that, there's no turnaround. There's no going back. There's no restoration. So we say, okay, yeah, I made a mistake. But we are working out, working things out. So, and there are some things that we need to do. There are some steps that we need to take. Some things in the practically, you know, some practical changes, okay, which means what? Well, in this example, it was relocation, going back to where we started, going back and then, you know, looking for maybe a place to stay, looking again for a place to work. And then getting back to, you know, getting back and the whole thing, beautiful thing is this, that the one who never leaves, not for sakes, is with us. And therefore we can always go back, process things with him, consult him again, open our hearts to him again. And it's a vulnerable thing. And also, it's a difficult thing. Sometimes, you know, it's difficult because we are now doubting ourselves, right? There's so much of doubt and not enough faith. Am I hearing right again? Am I making a mistake? So there's so much of conflict, right? But to put our trust in God, right, to begin to go back to the basics and to take every day, and as it comes, or, you know, one day at a time, right? And not be passive and take Godly counsel again to humble ourselves, right? So we need to be able to do this in order to get back, right? Okay, so the question is this, you know, how do we balance being led by the Spirit of God? How do we balance that? Because we saw that, you know, when the Spirit of God leads us to do certain things, to take certain steps of faith, it can be very radically, you know, it's outside our comfort zone at times. And it seems like not the done thing, not the usual thing that people would do. And it's not, doesn't seem safe, right? It's outside, it stretches us, stretches our faith and it's outside of our comfort zone. So how do we, you know, how do we do this, right? The first thing is to check your specific instruction from God. Is the Spirit of God giving me a specific word, a specific instruction? I think, and then, you know, we begin to, we judge that, right? We judge that in the sense we discern that, to see, you know, is it true, is it good, is it from Him, is it God-honoring, does it lift up Jesus? We test and we do all that. Okay, so if there is no specific word or instruction, then, well, we use our minds, we use our mind or reason that is God-given to us and we use it, right? We use it to move forward, right? And even as we use our reason to see if there is a check in our heart, do we have the peace of God in our heart? Because He's given us this peace to rule and reign, to be the umpire, to be able to discern, so is there a peace of God in our heart? Well, if there is the sense of peace, we can go ahead. Sometimes, you know, we need to know discern between the peace that God puts in our heart and our own emotions, you know, in the realm of our mind, to be able to discern that, to be sensitive to that, right? We might have the peace of God in our heart, but our minds are, there could be a sense of, you know, emotional up and down, right? So we need to be able to know the difference. And then, of course, listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit, the leading of the Holy Spirit, the prompting, the inner witness of the Holy Spirit. And the other things that we saw earlier, waiting for the Council, getting Godly Council, waiting for confirmation, and all that, you know, that holds good. And then we move forward, right? So this is how we really balance being led by the Spirit, walking with reason and avoiding presumption. You can check, go through, See We In God's Guidance, a book by Pastor Ashish for more specific, you know, details. Okay, so we'll, let's just pause here and talk about, you know, any questions that you, any questions that you might have, or any, anything at all, anything that you might want to share. Okay, this thing of living daily with a renewed mind. What do you think? Is it easy, difficult? I think it's a journey we are still making. Yeah. And choices which we make every time, even in conversations. Sometimes we tend to say something that we realize now that that's not what God wants me to say. Just not a fraction of a second we just realize that. That's quite interesting. Yeah. And it's good to be in that place, actually, even though, you know, we made the mistake, but then it's good to be in that place. We realize, oh, okay. Yeah. Alive to the, you know, the emotions of the Spirit and Holy Spirit. Yes, Pastor Ashish. Yeah. You were saying something. Yeah. I don't, I agree with him. It's not really easy to have a renewed mind every day. Because sometimes something happens, and you just get blinded out. And I think it's good to have some people who can encourage you around you so that they can remind you when you're at the college, when you're in college. That's one thing that helps me to get a healthy diet. Yeah, to have the community of people around to have those godly relationships and definitely that would help, yes. But also, you know, it's, I know it's, just that we're designed for, right? We need to understand that. That we are created for this, you know, to live as led by the Spirit of God, first of all. And we are created to live with a renewed mind, right? We are created to live out of our spirit. So, this is something that we are designed for. It has new creations. And even in the original design, right? So the thing is to, well, to not be paranoid about it, right? But to step forward confidently. And to say, Lord, I yield. I yield my members to you.   And so it becomes, you know, what we conform more and more to that new creation image, which is Christlikeness, right? That in our walk, right? We begin to fit into that, not conforming to the world, but conforming to Christlikeness. So this is another, you know, aspect of Christlikeness, right? To live as led by the Spirit of God, to hear His voice clearly, to avoid, you know, all these things of presumption and so on. So which is really our portion. So we need, we should not be paranoid. We should really like walk in the joy of the Lord, walk in the views of the Lord and walk in Christ confidence. Yeah. And so when daily, you know, so what we do daily matters when we come to those crossroads, right? So when we come to those crossroads, I'm not saying that there won't be, you know, conflict or there won't be a struggle, you know, or at least, you know, a thing of analysing and thinking, you know, is it from God? I'm not saying that there won't be, there will be those intense seasons, but then daily of walking with Him will really help, give us that strength and where we have exercised our senses to discern what is right and wrong, right? We have exercised, we have become sensitive and as she used to hearing the voice of the shepherd and used to, you know, using our renewed thinking or the new night in our everyday decisions, so we know what is in the heart and what is, you know, really from our heart. Thoughts and intents of our heart.  Okay. Okay, so this is something for us to put in place, right? For us to walk in daily and like Trump once said, yeah, this is something that we will grow in as well. Okay, so let's look at, if there are no questions, let's look at chapter 10, which is about mental illness, okay? There's much to know about it. We barely scratch the surface, so I'm sure there is more for us to know about this whole subject of mental illness, so on.  I remember that there was, we were at this Bible college and this was in Africa in a place called Champa, and then there was this testimony of, you know, one of the, so they actually pointed out one of the students and said, you know, she was a very bright student, very bright girl, learning everything, absorbing everything, and then her testimony was that she was completely, you know, mentally completely insane at one point. And not only that, but also very, very, very heavily oppressed by an evil spirit or spirits. And so that was a life where she would not even hold on to clothing and, you know, she was in such a desperate, I mean, state, very difficult for the family. They didn't know what to do, where to turn. Then they turned to the Lord. They turned to the Lord. They were trying out different options, and she was going deeper and deeper into, you know, this kind of oppression, and they turned to the Lord and that was the beginning. And that was the beginning of change and where she, where, you know, complete the whole illness, whatever she was experiencing, the symptoms of it completely changed and the spiritual aspect of being, you know, being demonized by the spirits. You know, the spirits just left, and she was completely delivered and sane and in her right mind came to the Lord and began growing in the Lord. She wanted to know more of the Lord and came finally for one of our short-term courses and she was there. So it was amazing to see that whole path of recovery that she had, she was on and she had come to the strength that she had received. So just going back to, you know, what was purchased for us on the cross, that by his stripes we were healed, by his stripes we are healed. That powers mental illnesses also.  You know, what we are praying for is covered by the blood we shed on the cross by that sacrifice. So anything to do physically, you know, with the brain, with the neurons, with the brain cells and neurons and connectedness, the physical part of it we can pray and also the entire nervous system, the physical part of it. We can also pray for the spiritual aspect of it where the source could be spiritual also. So having said that, we know that the source of this mental illness could be because of various reasons. So we know that because of the fall of man sent and the consequence of sin is all these various things, original sin, right? And I'm saying that, okay, this particular person sinned and therefore this particular person is, you know, walking in this kind of illness or having these symptoms. The cause of it is suffering because of the original symptoms and it came as a consequence of sin being passed on and death came because of sin and the Bible says that and from generation to generation So we can look at, you know, that is one main cause, we know that. But having said that, because we live in a fallen world, we know that there are various reasons. One is it could be because of accident, because of something, a person has a fall, a person injures, you know, there is a head injury and certain things in the brain function is altered because of that, it happens. Secondly, it could be because of some kind of, you know, chemical imbalance in the brain, like some, some things that, some of these chemicals that need to be there in certain amounts, serotonin and so on are not, you know, there's a, there's either too much of it or too less of it and because of which the brain functioning is affected and therefore a person has some form of illness and mental illness. It could be because of degeneration of the cells or the cells in the brain, the brain cells are not formed and therefore they're not functioning and because of which a person, you know, unfortunately has these kind of symptoms, right? And also we know that it's because of active work of the evil spirits, that the spirits cause insanity, okay? So, which demonize a person to act in certain ways, the spirit of wrath and the spirit of lust and we have all these, we see all these kinds of spirits which bring in, you know, what they are labeled and therefore there is the spirit of insanity, insanity also which cause this, right?  Now that's a, you know, that's a, that's a problem that we could, I mean, that's, it's a possibility, right?  What is this person going through this? It's because of an evil spirit, right? Possible, but also the problem would be something else. It could be that. So it need not be directly because, okay? Well, if it won't, then we know what we need to do. We just need to cast out if it is actually a direct involvement of an evil spirit. We cast out in the name of Jesus with the authority that the Lord has placed upon us as believers, as His children. So we use the authority that, that He has given us in order to cast out, in order to evict the evil spirit, in order to, you know, to command that evil spirit has no place, has no influence, and so on. So we do that. So we can also command when there's something physical thing happening, right? Here are some things to look at. Maybe we've never prayed this way. Maybe we've never commanded this manner. So we can do this, right? Command a new brain. Command complete restoration of nervous system for the nerves to function normally. Like that. Declare, speak and declare the chemical parameters, the levels in the brain to come to normal in the name of Jesus. Command the cells to revert to the correct number of chromosomes, especially in terms of, you know, in the case of Down syndrome and so on. Command that to the number to come back to normal, the parameter to come back to normal. Command the body to be healed. Command that organ to be healed. The brain to be healed to function, right? And facial features or other developments of the body and mind to be normal. You speak the word of God, believe, expect. And we see all these symptoms or the consequence of all these symptoms. We see autism, Down syndrome, dyslexia, just learning disability. And in fact, that affects the way you see also, you know, disability because of not able to read everything.  So, especially about obsessive compulsive disorder where a person is really caught up in a cycle. It's a cycle of compulsion, it's a cycle of obsession, right? Well, a person has some compulsive behavior, compulsive thought patterns, these thoughts come and they're very intrusive thoughts. And the person just acts out based on the thought. Like, there's maybe just washing hands, you know, the person feels unclean or the person feels that, okay? All the time, like, you know, it's okay to wash hands, right?  It's okay to wash, right? And you feel that way.  Pink is, you know, the skin becomes so tender because of constant washing and scrubbing and but you're not able to stop that. So, you should know a person who felt that way. He was not able to leave the house because every time he went out and touched something he felt that he had to wash immediately. So he would not shake hands even with other people. Felt that okay. Some risk of infection and, you know, so much of fear and this compulsion. I need to wash. I need to keep my hands clean. And so you look at the hands. It'll be so pink because of constant washing and scrubbing and so very tender almost to the point of, you know, skin breaking and bleeding. But it was an accomplice, right? You see that, you know, these are things that trouble people and these are things that, you know, that really bother and which needs intervention of God. It needs God's intervention and God's healing and, you know, as people who know the truth that we can minister the truth. God has called us to minister. So maybe, you know, even as we go through some of these things, maybe you feel that, okay, yeah, I go through some of these symptoms. Maybe you feel that way. Or you know of someone who goes through these symptoms. The thing is to pray. The thing is to pray, use the authority that God has given. And maybe if you feel that, okay, I have these kind of symptoms and maybe, you know, to reach out and get help, right? Because, you know, there's no stigma. There's no stigma attached. There's no shame attached. It's just that it's something that needs an intervention, something that needs help. So by all means, reach out. Reach out, get help and get well, get healthy and move forward and go, right? Okay, we'll stop here and we'll catch up next week. So have a great weekend. God bless. Bye-bye. Keep it positive. Thank you. See you. Bye-bye. Thank you. Bye-bye.


All SCP Foundation personnel in your area are being sent this message, pay close attention, and follow all orders within exactly... SCP-106, the old man has escaped from containment. SCP-106 is an extremely dangerous cat or SCP hostel to human life. SCP-106 has the anomalous ability to walk through walls, corrode any substances, and teleport along walls, floors or ceilings. Using these abilities it stalks humans under 25 years of age, and after inflicting severe bodily harm, abducts them. It then takes them to a pocket dimension where it controls reality. It will then proceed to torment, torture, and kill them. SCP-106 has escaped from containment and has evaded Foundation efforts to recapture him. He is rapidly approaching a metropolitan area. He will presumably proceed to hunt and kill people in this area, and may lead to a breach of secrecy regarding his anomalous nature. This cannot be allowed. All Foundation assets in the area must rapidly convert on the metropolitan area to which SCP-106 is heading. All efforts must be taken to re-contain SCP-106 as quickly as possible. This must be done covertly to maintain the veil of secrecy. Use a Foundation front company for this operation, such as Sector Crime Patrol, Spicy Crust Pete Srea, or Security for Corporate Profiteers. When you locate SCP-106 immediately call for backup, and do whatever is necessary to keep the anomaly in place. This may be done by offering yourself as bait, or by engaging the anomaly in combat. Thank you for your attention and cooperation at this time. SCP-106 will be re-contained. Secrecy will be maintained. Secure. Contain. Protect.


That is that better excellent. I'll go and thumbs up from the AV guys. Okay While Lana's talking if any of you've got Questions put your hand up and one of the ushers will bring a microphone to you that way We'll get your voice on the AV when the questions are asked. Okay, it's great. It's fine. Okay So to get started Because you all want to see me pop the balloon This is your program. This is your program this bit on the outside This is that this is the user interface that bit in there. That's your code When users are using your program, they want to get to this bit. They don't care about all this stuff on the outside This is the stuff on the outside that they're using to get into here The thing in here will allow them to do stuff will allow them to achieve goals The stuff on the outside is just the way that they achieve those goals the way they get in there to do that If you've got a good user interface, it helps obviously However, even a really brilliant user info. I'll keep on doing this even a really brilliant user interface is Not going to be perfect. It's not going to work for someone who's got English as a second language It's not going to work so well for someone who's never used the kind of program you've designed. I'll throw it away It's some It's not going to get not going to if you've got you might have something hidden in a menu somewhere And people can't logically find that and so what we do is we have documentation to help us to help us deal with the the user interface so between The user interface we add the documentation and we can get into your program I think that's called a technical hitch Basically what we're doing is we're using documentation to break through the user interface to get into the core of the program So that people can achieve what they want to achieve without having to worry too much about the clicky button And the writing the writing the commands in the command line So who wants to tell me what this is? It's black box very well head up cardboard Now is there anyone here who's never used a cardboard box before? Congratulations Michael. I don't think this talks for you The fact is we all use we always cardboard boxes with the exception of Michael We all use cardboard boxes every day very few people actually sit down and think about where they've come from and The reason this actually occurred to me at some point was because my partner started a new job He comes home on his first day, and he says you know what I'm working across the road from a cardboard box factory And I went I never thought about where cardboard boxes come before but someone's designed the dimensions Someone's worked out what material to make it out of someone has worked out how many people it's going to take To be able to make this thing. They've thought about whether to package them in lots of 10 or 20 or 500 Do I mean do they package cardboard boxes in other cardboard boxes that they put them in something else?  How much are you gonna charge?  That's full of manuals that you've never read Absolutely You might have opened it you might have opened the Manual that you got for your fan that you bought last summer and had a bit of a laugh at the bad Chinese translation or something like that You don't read them nobody reads them it's um The thing is even though you've got them see them every day You don't think about who's actually written them. You don't think about where they've come from There we go So like the cardboard box you don't think about where your manuals have come from you don't think about who's written them Like I say you might have laughed at the translation You probably haven't thought it where they come from and I keep on finding myself in these situations Where I'm in a conversation with somebody at a party or whatever and they say oh Salana What do you do and I go well? I'm a technical writer and they go. What's that then? You say well, I write technical manuals for I write documentation for technical products. Oh There's someone has to write them, huh? It's it's the cardboard box problem. Nobody thinks about where they come from So what I would like to do here of the fact that it's black also is important Engineers quite often view technical writing as a black box. What happens is they give us source information and we pop books out and There is actually there is actually a process that happens except for the hecklers down the front There there is actually a process that happens in there What I would like to do for you today is quite literally unpack the black box so what I'm going to do is Discuss the process that we use at red hat. I'm a red hat technical writer by the way Well, I'm going to discuss the process. We use it red hat. We use a basic five phase waterfall model Quite simple. I'm going to try and spend about five minutes on each of the phases talking about what we do in each phase and What tools we use at each stage of it and then because I need to live up to my yeah to my abstract I I will go through and do some Do some writing tips for you at the end So phase one Phase one is what we call the information plan and that's where we work at our dates Essentially, so this is my diary When we when we get to a information plan We work out not so much title and that kind of thing but more what the book's going to cover Who the audience is going to be we do our audience analysis? That's really important and we work out who the dates going to be who we're going to get our information from at least in a rough Context and who our managers are going going to be in this particular situation. What project we're working on? The tools that we use are primarily a wiki at this point and that's because it's easy to edit It's easy to share. It's easy to organize stuff into a hierarchical Kind of system. We've got about 50 writers at red hat It's important that we can keep things organized that our managers can find our projects and our information plans and check out What we're doing that our engineers can can go to our wiki and and find the information plans relevant to their product And I'm going to try and knock this microphone off again as I fish something out of the pocket It's gone. No, I've lost it No, it's here. It's all right We also use a ticketing system. I'm sure you've all got one of these at the moment We also use ticketing system. We open a Just an overarching ticket to start with and this is essentially a management function It's a way of our managers being able to say, okay So what's Lana working on at the moment? When is she due to finish it? Will she be on time? How many other you know, is she struggling does she need more resources? that'd be nice and You know and who my engineering manager is so they can get in contact So that that's basically a management function at that point So we can get rid of those now Phase two phase two is where we decide what goes in the thing In this case, it's lollies, which is a lot more fun than most of my documentation We work out what it's going to look like work at what's going to be called We do our title our subtitle bit of an abstract whatever and we work out where we're going to get the information to create the thing we We usually identify a subject matter expert in phase one and then in phase two we get in contact with them and in In most cases you've got your subject matter expert It's an engineer on the project a senior engineer on the project you can go hey Bob give us an information he'll go Yeah, sure. I've been working on this wiki. I've got some bugs here. You can look at I've been blogging about it There's usually a fair few things that we can get in there and we can aggregate that all together in addition Believe it or not. We do Google for information. We I have been known to look at Wikipedia to check technical aspects There's code comments, of course and let this be a lesson to your engineers if you're writing code You must comment directly because one day a technical writer will be reading it and trying to work out what you're doing Code comments are very very important There's also things like knowledge base if we've had support staff writing knowledge base We've had customers giving us information bug histories that kind of thing Tools in this case we're back to the wiki believe it or not and It's just a really good way to be able to gather all the information because we're getting Information from such a disparate range of things. We gather all the information together on a wiki I just draw up a quick table with table and section and chapter headings and the link to the where the information is coming from for that chapter Which I like to pass them around take one pass around take one take a lolly quite specific enough I miss that comment The the other tool that's really important in addition to our wiki Is our bug system because he's big. He's our tracker bug So what we do is we have we set our tracker bug up at the top and this is where the management function happens So the management management can look engineering managers at this point Will you look at it and see all the other bugs we have the bugs they're sitting underneath it? I quite neatly like this and they can they can approve it they can say yep That's fine. They're the ones we want and then we were into obviously work on the individual and the individual bugs It is actually I see three fairly fairly standard in in many organizations, I think We use several wikis in red hat the one that we use specifically as track wiki There there are several in play there's there's constant Arguing over which one's the best which one we should all use which one should which one should go company-wide I don't know if they'll ever come to a conclusion, but track wiki is what we're using at the moment in our department Do I just take the microphone? Oh, sorry Sorry the question the question there was which wiki do you use and the answer was track wiki There's something Track is a bug tracking system. It is all so we do you know we only use the wiki component of it We don't we don't use the bug we use bugzilla feather for the bug tracking of course So moving right along phase three Phase three of course is the most important part and this is where I get to do my writing This takes up 50% of the project, which is why it's the most important part or It's the most important part. That's why it takes up 50% of the project put it that way So what I do at this point is I take the table that I created in the last phase If you remember I created the table with the section and chapter headings with the links to the information I write down my section and chapter headings in XML not on paper unfortunately We do a table and section headings and then we then we start dragging the information in we edit it and make sure we're happy with it We go over it over and over it and eventually we get to a point where we individually are happy and that's where the fun begins so after that We do reviews we make sure it's correct obviously we all have our own dictionaries But we also have use other people's dictionaries We do have a technical editor on site who likes to look at our stuff occasionally We have a legal department who we like to check out with trademark kind of issues And of course the most important part is the technical review if it's not technically accurate It will not get published at least in theory And if you do find a bug in any book, please raise you do find a problem in any book Please raise a bug we'll fix it The technical review is the most important We send it back to our subject matter experts and we do also like to send it to in the entire engineering team that we're working with and So we just basically say is this technically accurate. They will raise bugs. They will email us They will give us all sorts of feedback and we then obviously Coordinate all that and that's where our bug system comes in as well Oh my bugs So we they will raise bugs we go through each individual bug We fix it we get rid of it and after that's happened after we've fixed each bug We've gone. Yep. That's done. We send it over to quality engineering and quality engineering go, you know what that one over there She tried to fix it and they'll send it back And we'll have to fix again and then we can get rid of it So That ah the tools the tools start getting interesting in this phase as well When I started with red hat, which was nearly four years ago now. Thank you very much It's nearly four years ago when I started started with red hat and Back then we had a system that we used to call dock bot. It was pretty obvious dock bot it was a robot that created documentation for us and what at the time we were using CVS is our Repository it would grab the stuff out of CVS It had wrapped it all up and package it and we then had an internal website We could go and get our HTML PDF versions over time. We decided to formalize things We've got a fantastic engineer in our engineering content services department by the name of Jeff Fern who some of you may have heard of And he create he recreated dock bot and relabeled it as public in I've got a bit of an issue with the name publicings to me a public in a summer who owns a bar, but anyway Public in publication. That's where it came from and so public and now hooks into Not CVS anymore. It's SVN moving with the times Eventually, we'll get eventually we'll get to get It grabs our stuff out of SVN it wraps it up and we have now a proper official staging process So we've got an internal stage where we can put up our draft Versions and our engineers can look at it directly on the on the stage and public and can also do the publication for us But I'll get to that in the next bit. I'm not going to throw that because I'm going to have that later so phase 5 Phase 5 is a bit interesting because phase 5 is mostly about translation But it's also about publication which are two completely different things I have no idea why they've been lumped into the same phase and you should all go and speak to Joe at Hacos who wrote them and Find out because I'd like to know so translation first of first of all Red Hat translates into around about 26 languages. It does vary Anywhere in the 20s as a general rule it obviously not every product goes into every language I do believe rail red hat and preslinux goes into most of those languages If not all someone from red hat in the audience may be able to confirm or deny It really depends on where we're marketing each product as to where where which translations it gets And it also depends of course on what translators we have available. Most of our translators are in Brisbane I believe we've got around 30 of them at the moment possibly I'm looking at Marco because Marco might be able it's around that number, isn't it? They all work very very hard. They're all lovely people and what public and does so coming back to public in Just cuz I like holding beer and waving it around. I keep on thinking I'm gonna pop the lid on that soon if it was only if only it was cold I'd What public and does we've got a sort of magic button in public and that basically splits everything up into the individual language files each Translator then gets their individual language They do the translation for a switch to me as a black box Hold translation process a bit bizarre. They go through and they do their translation They then push it we push it all back into public and and public and wraps it up on our stage so that you can just select Which language you want you get your book in that language. It's really really neat Public and also I'm even to I'm even to publication. Let's move away from translation. Sorry French Um We publish we don't publish dead tree. What obviously this book was actually I purchased this in 1994 It's still got their seat in it. I clearly haven't read it Because I went and worked for an open source company We don't publish dead tree books We do have the ability to publish dead tree books. We can provide files to printers if we wanted to we generally don't And because I'm too cheap because I didn't read this book because I'm too cheap I I printed one out We we publish in HTML standard HTML or every chapters on a second page you click next to go to the next chapter We publish on single page HTML, which is fantastic if you're searching for something. It all goes on a single page You've got a scroll a lot. We publish in PDF, of course And we also publish in EPUB, which is a fairly new thing that we've only just started doing reasonably recently And it's actually really exciting. How am I going for time? Can I throw a story in I'm not doing too badly Excellent, I'll throw in a quick story and hopefully it won't cut into the question time at the end There's an interesting story that was taught I mentioned Joan Hacos before is the woman who wrote the wrote the model that we use Joan Hacos was is an American writer of documenter type person and she She told this this story once of there were there were guys who the guys who work up the the energy the electrical poles And someone had been a company had been hired to go in and rewrite their documentation for them They had they had a reference manual that they they needed to use to look up various codes whatever it is that these electricians do and And then they you know, they need to look it up while they were working. So they did a great job They redesigned everything they got it all written down and they produced this manual and they presented it to the company and The company presented it to their workers. These are the guys who work up poles. I'll remind you and They went How am I going to use this? I can't put it in my back pocket. I Can't hold on to it because I'm busy holding on to the pole and whatever tools I've got and all the rest How am I going to work it and so it got ignored? Basically, they hadn't done an audience analysis. They hadn't worked out who was it was going to be using these things And what conditions are going to be using it in and this is why we began they did eventually do an EPUB Version to solve that that issue. I believe another company came in and fixed it but This is exactly why we began using EPUB and there's an individual story and read how about it our global professional services people quite often work in In they work on site at various customer locations and they're quite often subject to fairly rigid security protocols that the the customers they go to especially if they're talking government or defense or whatever and Of course, they can't they can't take a printed version of the rail if anyone has seen the rail deployment guide It's like hundreds of pages long. It's really huge. It's this mammoth book that everyone at Red Hat talks in awe of The rail deployment guide So they can't go take a printed version because it's just impractical They can't use internet when they're on site. So they can't access the online versions What do they do? Well, they do they download the EPUB version take it in on a non-internet connected machine They've still got the information at their hands They don't have an internet connection and they don't have to carry a set of encyclopedias That is exactly why we started doing this. So there's my lucky. It's not a real Kindle, huh? Okay So that pretty much wraps up phase four, which means we've only got one phase left In theory, this should be the phase where you get the money. I've got doubloons You know what though? I bought this in the $2 shop. You know what they say on them Kids obviously don't understand what doubloons anymore. It says pirate money This should be where you get the money. It's not We work for open source Don't get money in open source. What are you talking about? So phase five is actually where we do our review So what we do because we're geographically disparate as a to give you an example Currently my engineering team is based in both Raleigh and North Carolina and Westford, which is right near Boston My project manager is in Bono in the Chakra public My documentation manager is in Brisbane. I live in Canberra Which is another hour out during summer I've got a developer in The UK. I think we've got another one in Canada Yes, I think we have another one in Canada. Oh, yes, and we've got a couple in South America as well So the fact is it's very very difficult for us to get in a room together and say so. How was it? It's not gonna happen. In fact, it's fine It's can be very very difficult for us to even find a time for a meeting Even if we can all get on the phone at the same time However, normally what happens is the person who's in Australia gets up at 2 a.m. And we jump on the phone Do you like my new iphone? I was very pleased that it makes sounds that they're very soft It wouldn't be very good in a train station or something. Anyway, so what we do is we get on that We get on the phone. We have a call. We say so it was a good for you. Yeah, it was great Let's do it the same way next time or you actually know that really sucked.  Oh, I hate writing This is why tech writers exist because I don't want to do it Somebody else has to do the writing. Unfortunately, you do have to do writing even as an engineer I know I'm sorry You do have to do writing at the very least you have to comment your code because otherwise technical writers will come and stab you You you problem. Thank you You do you do have to have to document what you're doing at the very least We like you to do things like write blog posts and write wikis and or it'll keep some scrap paper on your desk and just note down What you're doing. It's it's very very helpful. So even as an engineer. Yes, you do have to write The good the good news is of course, I don't believe that anyone actually sucks at writing I do believe you can you can learn to write. It is a learned skill. It's not an inherent skill I wasn't born with a dictionary in my mouth. I'm not particularly special in this regard. I've just worked at it So Slides do suck. Yes. I think I've got six. So I'm sorry I sort of had trouble coming out with props for these ones so The first thing you have to do and I have already touched on this is get organized And this is where your phase one information planning comes in if you know When you've got your due date when you've got to be finished by and not just when you've got a your final due date your final Delivery, but when you've got to get the next bit and a bit after that and the bit after that you will be able to achieve it and To illustrate the point How long do you think it takes to write a novel a standard? Yeah fiction novel Mills have been three weeks. I can go along with that a year. Let's talk about literary fiction decent fiction a year two years five years a lifetime You knew where I was going with that It it you know, I'm sure there's plenty of people with unfinished novels in their bottom drawer. I Without boasting I've written three and I wrote each of them in 30 days in November as as Nareen pointed out And the way that we're it's a competition called national novel writing month And I'm not going to advertise it here, but if you want to know more come and speak to me It's competition called national novel writing month and the goal is to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days No, none of my three novels will ever be published.  Yes, they are complete novels. They're complete stories They were had a beginning and an ending and a middle in most cases and And they were all written within 30 days Some of them were written were finished at a quarter to midnight on the last day But they were all written in 30 days and that's because you have a goal If you have a goal, you've got something to achieve It's the way we work as humans and I'm sure we've all heard we've all been to goal-setting Courses and this kind of thing that that work makes us do all the time And it's always about breaking it down into achievable chunks. It's always about setting deadlines It's always about making them making them, you know realistic and timely and all the rest of it And that's exactly what you need to do in your writing documentation as well is Stick to your standard goal-setting principles Make sure you've got a date make sure you know what you're supposed to be delivering by that date and ideally have a manager making sure you're doing it so the next one is choosing your voice The way I'm speaking to you now is completely differently Completely different to the way I would be addressing these children. I mean other than the fact that I probably would have had a DeLorean to do it I love this picture. They all look so neat and proper. I'm sure my daughter doesn't look like that in school But the point is the voice is different use different words. We use different expressions We I was going to say if you're addressing school children, you might use more props, but maybe not We the point is we dressings differently, it's exactly the same in writing as in speaking you need to talk to your audience in different ways It might come as news to many of you, but engineers are not the same as Ciss Admin's Ciss Admin's and Joe made the point in her talk on Monday Ciss Admin's are different to engineers and they need to be they need to be spoken to in a different way Not that one's more intelligent than the other of course. They're just different So when you when you're addressing a Ciss Admin You need to discuss different aspects and different ways of achieving goals Then when you're when you're talking to engineers and it's it's different again when you're talking to users on you can talking to contributors There's all when you're talking to management or whatever. So choose make sure you know your audience and you choose your voice Say what you mean If you want to warn people that there are flying toasters and I'm going to have to read this out because I always forget it say Wanting flying toasters for starters. Don't say Take heed of the fact that in some cases they may be airborne heated bread-cooking apparatus Because what's going to happen is by the time they finish reading the sentence They're going to be hit in the head don't ever say more than you need to Analyze every word analyze every sentence analyze every paragraph make sure it's serving a role Some of my favorites in technical running of things that there may be a risk that there is a possibility that in some cases this may happen Don't just say sometimes There's There were ways of rephrasing things phrase it the way you would when you're speaking Not the way you would when you're Trying to write technically This brings me very neatly To use short sentences There are rules of thumb about writing short sentences They have a long sentences should be the general and technical writing you want to be around about 15 to 20 words That's fine. If you're reading the dead tree books If you're not reading dead tree books if you read it on a screen Attention spans are different We're much more distracted when we're on a screen because you know, there's like Google and stuff there And it's much more exciting than reading this technical manual You need to try and keep it sort of 10 to 15. That's on average Of course, don't be afraid if you get a 16 word sentence. It's not the end of the world You want some shorter ones and you want some long ones what you don't want is 17 sentences. They're all four words long Followed by 17 sentences. They're all 34 words long Because the start is it's going to look really weird. It's going to sound really bad and your users not going to understand what the hell you're talking about One of my favorites who he went to Guinea Most of us if not all Okay, when we're at uni, we're taught to write up to a word limit So you might have a fantastic idea It's the great ideas is best idea you've ever come up with and you can probably express it very neatly and about 300 words At university you're expected to express that 300 word idea in a 5000 word essay and so we do We do we sit down we start when we write a very flowery introduction and then we write the next bit And we choose the longest words we possibly can because you know what we want to do We want to teach our lecturers how clever we are You I've just described every essay I ever wrote Except for my last one because I've started an actual technical communicators course and it's really hard not to write like a uni student You actually got to write like a technical writer and a technical writing course and there's all this cognitive dissonance with that Unfortunately take writers don't get paid by the word. It would be nice if we did because I can be very low-quacious I Was I saying I was going to I was going to talk about academic writing in terms of not just how long and Flowery the language is but also the words we choose we choose these big words because it makes us look smart and as humans We want people to think we're smart. We want people to read the book and go Haven't they got a fantastic grasp of the English language? I'd really like to read a literary novel written by this person and I didn't bring it with me I do have a I do have a 91 word sentence that I have on cards that I like to give out But and then ask people what it actually means, but I didn't bring it with me. Unfortunately I Illustrate this a little bit more. I did some editing for a gentleman who shall remain nameless So that he remains shameless, I guess He it was absolutely abysmal and it was a typical case of university writing typical case of the real pretentious language and I've got some examples from this particular essay I was going to say that the problem too is when you're using big fancy words that you might not speak You might not use in conversation You quite often misspelled them and you quite often mean something you don't maybe didn't realize that they mean One of the one of the ones he used a lot he used the word enumerated but what he really meant was discovered or found The word enumerated means you counted something Doesn't mean you found it and so what it do is he'd say we logged on to the server and we enumerated the packages And I bet he didn't sit there and go. That's one package. That's two packages and that's three packages He looked at the package He might have looked at what sort of packages they were which ones what categories they fell into whatever I can bet your bedroom doll Bet your bottom dollar. He did not count them. So he did not enumerate them. He found them Utilizing Utilizing gets used again and again and again and again again. It's not incorrect. I will say that it is not incorrect It's just long It doesn't need to be using is fine. We're all we're all modern, you know, we don't need to see need to use this okay, like which anyone The other one he did a lot was provide when what he really meant was prove And I can tell you right now that nothing will ever provide to be true And the other which I've actually forgotten to write down here, but I can't forget it is the word assess The word assess has four s's in it It's a double s e double s if you don't put the last s on It's not assess anymore It did make for interesting and very hilarious reading in some cases do have a prop for this one This is my favorite prop. It goes with my doubloon. Sorry my pirate money goes with my pirate money. Oh It's in the box because I didn't get it Okay, I don't with a knife. I'm gonna have to figure this stuff up, aren't I? And it with a knife every editing pass you do on your document should make your document about 20% shorter I'm not kidding. That's true. If you do five passes, well, okay It should get about 20% shorter.   You're cutting out anything that is not absolutely essential Um, a lot of a lot of people would like to do this thing where they use the word namely Something and then they tell you that they're going to explain it. Just say it. What's it? What's the example? I like to use I did in a Hawaiian dance namely the hula Don't need to Don't need to just so I did I did a Hawaiian dance called the hula or I did the hula, which is a Hawaiian dance You don't need to tell me that you're going to tell me something Exactly Every time you had it bring it down take out all these extra things if you've got a sentence that says more than one thing Put it into two sentences cut out. There's extra filler words You need to read what you're right It's not easy to do it's not as easy as it sounds because the problem is we read what we think we've written It's hard It's it's hard to read what you've actually written and not what you think you've written The best way to do there are three tactics that I use the first one is walk away Walk away for as long as you possibly can and then tell your boss that the reason it's delivered latest because you had to walk away from it because Lana said so I Tried that it didn't work Walk away from it even if it's only to go out and get a coffee And you know, obviously the longer you can leave it the better leave it overnight is always a good idea But even if you just get up and have a walk around and then come back to it at least you're looking with slightly fresh eyes Secondly, do the first here, sorry Do the first pass forwards, but do it out loud. I Work from home, which is a good thing for my co-workers And I have a big picture of the Beatles on my on my wall So John George Paul and Ringo get most of my books read out to them. They're very very boring lives these days You stand out and you read it out loud and the reason you read it out loud is because we naturally use language and we naturally use grammatical constructs and That was a big word When you you do that slight little pause you put a comarine You do the bigger pause you take a breath put a full stop in if you find your reading sentences out And you're getting short of breath. You probably need to put another full stop in there right now Before you have to go And pass out Because John Lennon always looks me really badly want to do that Then once you've gone through forwards and you've read out loud and you've had a good drink of water Because you generally need one Then read it backwards Which sounds silly Depending on the length of your document if you've got a short document and you're doing something like pre-reading your business cards Read each word backwards because then you see the word and not its placement in the sentence or its placement the paragraph You've got a longer document read each sentence read the last sentence first and then the second last sentence and the third last sentence and walk the entire way through your book and that way hopefully you'll break the You'll get that memory you break that memory pattern that you had if you know when you wrote it that this is how it Was supposed to sound if you read it backwards. It's not going to sound like that anymore It's going to actually trigger those those typos. You're going to find the double ups of the these When they break over the line and that kind of stuff so read it backwards Oh I have another story. Do I have time? Eight minutes. Excellent. I'm sure I've told the story before so please stop me if you've heard it In Canberra about ten years ago in the Yellow Pages There was an ad for a bus company that advertised quite proudly that they did school executions If they had have read the ad backwards, I can guarantee they would have worked out that what they really meant was excursions. I Love that story. Anyway Sorry to do this to you. I have also been asked to mention that red hat are hiring. I've got flyers down here They are looking for engineering types. They're looking for support service types. They're looking for security types They're also looking for technical writers and Translators, so please come down to get a flyer. It gives you information on who to contact to get more You can also grab business card off me and I can help you do that, which is really good because we have a hiring bonus Okay


Aaron a very uncharacteristic outing for Garrett Cole. Why do you think he got off to such a rough start there in that first inning? Well, obviously he gets ambushed there in the first pitch trying to go down the way and just middle in and Enrique was hunting it and got it. And then obviously the big blow of the Devers one where I think he's trying to go up and away with the fastball to finish him and just kind of pulled it into his barrel there and he didn't miss it. And obviously that crooked number was hard for us obviously to overcome. Yeah, I thought he settled in and got in a pretty good rhythm there in the middle innings but Doug ourselves a hole again. How large of a hill does that feel like to climb with your ace on the mound considering the way you guys have struggled against the Red Sox this year down 4-0 after one? Well, I mean, we got to find a way.  That inconsistency has kind of defined us so far and we got to find a way to be more consistent. Ultimately, we expect way more out of ourselves. I know the fan base expects more and to come up here and have a disappointing weekend against the team that we're trying to chase down is frustrating. Does it add to the frustration, the fact that there was some sloppy play this afternoon as well? I mean, that always does. Anytime you don't play perfect baseball or clean baseball, you know, that absolutely has frustration. Can David off, please unmute. Aaron, do you think you guys need a jolt of some time, whether it's a roster move or something just to do? Well, we can't wait around for that, Kenny. We have the people in that room to get this done and we expect more of it ourselves. We've got to play better. We've got to be more consistent in every area starting with me leading this group and we can't wait and look around for a magic move to make us better. The bottom line is we have a lot of really talented people in that room, capable of a lot. And frankly, it's been there a fair amount, but we've got to be more consistent if we're going to be the team we expect. Even internally though, I mean, dipping into the minor leagues and demoting someone. Yeah, I mean, I don't know. We're obviously always talking about those kind of things. Thank you. Bob Clappish, go ahead. Hey, Aaron. In regards to some of the sloppy play today, and do you think your team was prepared? You came out prepared to play today. Are you satisfied with that? I do think we're prepared, you know, obviously we've got to be better though. We've got to be more consistent.   And, you know, obviously you're going to lose some games along the way here and there, but you know, we got to find a way to be more consistent in every avenue. I think the guys are ready to go today. Felt like they're ready to go all weekend. In the end, we got to perform better. Dan Martin, please unmute. Aaron, before you guys got here, when you were playing well at home, you talked about the swagger that the team had. Where do you think that the mindset is right now after a weekend like this? How much has that been impacted by this week?    And, you know, we've got to dig ourselves out and we've got to be more consistent and we've got to, you know, keep our foot on the gas, you know, especially now as we start an important home stand.


Hello and welcome to this presentation of the STM32L4's Full-Speed On-the-Go or OTG USB Device Interface. It covers the features of this IP, which is widely used to connect either a PC or a USB device to the microcontroller. This slide explains the range of USB interfaces within the STM32L4 product line. As shown, this presentation describes the Full-Speed On-the-Go or OTG USB Device Interface supported in STM32L49X4AX and STM32L47X4AX devices. All devices with the FS OTG USB Device Interface can operate with a low-frequency crystal oscillator. STM32L496X4AX devices also allow a USB device to be implemented without a crystal oscillator. This figure shows the simplest connections between an STM32L4 microcontroller and a USB connector in a peripheral configuration. The STM32L4 features a Full-Speed USB Communication Interface, allowing the microcontroller to communicate typically with a PC or a USB storage device. The simplest implementation is a USB peripheral device, but the STM32L4 also supports on-the-go USB functions. The USB implementation includes low power features allowing the use of a low-speed crystal oscillator on-the-go host or device functions and a battery charger detection allowing more efficient charging possibilities. This slide summarizes the key features of this Full-Speed OTG USB Device Interface, which is a USB specification 2.0 compliant interface operating at a bit rate of 12 megabits per second. In the simplest form, a Full-Speed USB Device can be implemented. Low-frequency crystal operation is possible, and STM32L496X4A6 devices can work crystal-less. Its built-in support for link power management adds enhanced power modes on top of the USB 2.0 specification. In addition, the on-the-go or OTG function enables the implementation of an OTG product or an embedded host, both of which have the capacity to behave as a targeted host. The battery charger detection feature allows for increased current up to 1.5 amps to be drawn from BC 1.2 compliant chargers. In this block diagram, the Full-Speed OTG USB Controller Core is shown in the center with its data FIFOs below. The physical layer or PHY on its right side handles the analog signal levels including many specific level detections relating to OTG and battery charger detection functions. The USB interrupt goes to the Cortex processor to signal various USB events. The AHB peripheral bus enables read-write access of the controller registers and the power and clock control block. Several related peripherals work in conjunction with the USB device controller to link the USB activity to the system power mode and software requirements. The clock recovery system allows operation without an external crystal oscillator using the integrated HSI oscillator as the main clock source. The interrupt events are sent to the non-vector interrupt controller via a single line. The system events can cause the system to wake up from stop mode, for example at the moment we resume from USB suspend mode. At any given time one of the two operating modes will be in operation. Peripheral mode used for a regular device or an OTG device or targeted host mode used for an embedded host or an OTG device. Interrupts from this USB block can be triggered by a large number of events or state changes. This slide and the following three slides show all the events that can generate an interrupt. As can be seen these interrupt sources are diverse. They range from events related to low power management and OTG to events related to normal host behavior and regular USB reset and disconnect events. Note in slide reset detected. In device mode this interrupt is asserted when a reset is detected on the USB and partial power down mode when the device is in suspend mode. In this second slide showing interrupts another diverse set of sources is described. In this third slide describing interrupt sources many suspend OTG functions and FIFO status events are listed as well as a general register access error. The USB peripheral is fully active in run mode. After a suspend event sleep mode and stop zero and one modes are available and the contents of its registers are kept. Stop two and standby mode should not be used. Within the USB mode dedicated bits are implemented to provide some debug functions for USB applications. They relate to FIFO status and contents and the scheduling of periodic queues in host mode. Additional details of these debug bits are listed in this table. Here is an application example of a low power device. Power is drawn directly from the USB VBUS signal. A single low speed crystal oscillator at 32.768 kilohertz is needed outside. A scheme is implemented inside the microcontroller using this low speed crystal oscillator to trim the internal 48 megahertz oscillator thus giving the required frequency accuracy to comply with the USB specification. Here is a second application example showing a battery powered OTG solution. The STM32L4 controls a power switch supplying VBUS to the receptacle and monitors for faults on the supply. In this example a regular crystal oscillator should be used. Should dead battery support be required VBUS should be connected to the STM32L4 via a resistor divider. For complete USB specification documents please refer to usb.org. The USB 2.0 document homepage has a zip file containing the USB 2.0 and OTG 2.0 specifications and an ECN for LPM. The USB device class documents page has the battery charger specification. Additional information can also be found in these application notes.
