Welcome to another edition of HeyDT. HeyDT is a series of videos I do where I respond to viewer questions and comments. These viewer questions and comments they typically come from the comments on the videos posted on YouTube or Odyssey. Sometimes these questions and comments come through email, sometimes through social media such as Mastodon or Reddit. And the very first question I want to respond to is, HeyDT, how would one turn their ArcoLinux install into a stable version of Garuda Dragonized that actually works with more modern GPUs unlike Garuda? Well that's a really tricky question because you can actually turn ArcoLinux into Garuda, right? You can enable the Garuda mirrors, the Pac-Man mirrors, and essentially you would then be installing packages from the Garuda repos rather than the Arco repos. But I don't recommend people doing that. I don't recommend ever changing mirrors in any Linux distribution from the standard distribution mirrors because when you do that there is a very high likelihood that you can actually break your system. Now if despite my warning you still want to go ahead and actually turn your ArcoLinux into Garuda Linux, ArcoLinux actually does make this rather easy because the creators of ArcoLinux they have created the Arch Linux tweak tool. And you can install this on any Arch based distribution, the Arch Linux tweak tool. And inside that tool they have a number of different Arch based Linux distributions that you can tick on or off whether you want to add that particular distributions repositories into your pac-man.com. Now again I don't recommend anybody doing this. I mean if you're an advanced user and you accept the risk that's great just know that playing around with some of that stuff can be dangerous. What I would strongly urge you to do is instead of doing that either uninstall Arco and install Garuda Linux the proper way or take your existing ArcoLinux installation and just install the same packages that Garuda installs out of the box. You mentioned that it actually works with more modern GPUs so find out what kernel and what video drivers Garuda is installing and just install those same versions of those packages on your Arco install. For example I know that Arco installs the standard generic Linux kernel where Garuda installs the Linux Zen kernel. Well just install the Linux Zen kernel on Arco. But if you do decide to go the route of trying to transform your Arco Linux installation into Garuda by changing the mirrors I strongly recommend making backups first. Moving on to the next question. This question was actually a rather lengthy post. I'm talking about multiple paragraphs I couldn't read the whole thing but there was one part of his lengthy novel that he wrote that I wanted to share because I thought it was an interesting comment. He writes, hey dt Linux isn't difficult people make it that way because they don't know how to share their knowledge that's the problem with Linux. There's so much information it's difficult to find the info you need for routine tasks. I would argue that that is not the case that Linux being difficult has nothing to do with people not being willing to share their knowledge or that there's knowledge that's hidden out there it's difficult to find. No that's actually that's not a Linux problem that's you would have that same problem on Windows. You were using probably Windows or Mac before you came to Linux right? The only reason that you didn't have this same problem on those operating systems is because you were a much different computer user on those operating systems probably you probably didn't do much deep diving you know customizing those operating systems proprietary software they're kind of locked down you know on Linux you have all of this freedom to do what you want that's why you're exploring these new topics and you're searching for this information it's the same way on Windows or on Mac if you were an advanced user on those operating systems and you were really trying to know the nuts and bolts of the operating system and all of this other stuff yeah it's a steep learning curve you would have to really try hard to find all the information for this stuff and this is not a Linux problem it's not a Windows problem it's not a computer problem it's not a tech problem this is a life problem right? Nobody is just going to give you all of the information you seek because nobody knows what the hell you want nobody's going to package everything up that you for your use case for everything that's going on in your head here's everything you want to know in this neat little package no this is in life for everyone we all have to find our own path we all have to seek the information that is right for us and yes it's it's all over the place right it's in wikis right it's in books it's in other people's minds right sometimes you just have to have a conversation with people and get their perspective on things so this is I don't think that's the case at all I don't think Linux is difficult because the knowledge is hidden I don't think Linux is difficult because Linux users are somehow unwilling to share their knowledge I don't think I don't see that moving on to the next question this comes from the video I did showing debian12 in a virtual machine he writes hey dt are you installing this in virtual box if so were you able to activate the shared clipboard at all no I actually installed debian12 in vert manager on that video vert manager uses QEMU but sometimes I'll do my videos installing some of these linux distributions in virtual box I kind of swap between the two sometimes I use vert manager sometimes I use virtual box but setting up a shared clipboard in virtual box is rather easy all you need to do make sure you have installed the virtual box guest additions and then after that when you create your virtual machine go into the settings for the virtual machine go into the general tab and I think there's some advanced settings in there for one of the things is the shared clipboard there'll be a drop-down menu make sure you set the shared clipboard to bi-directional I'll include a screenshot of this in this video the next question is hey dt why don't you try installing mac os on a non-mac computer using hackintosh while mac os is proprietary software it's not really mac os that I want you to cover I want just a video about the hoops you jump through to get an installation working fully as I thought it would be an interesting topic for you to cover okay well there's some reasons why you haven't seen any hackintosh coverage on this channel for one thing there are some legality issues with that I mean trying to install the mac operating system on a non-mac computer I'm not sure the legality behind that and I don't want to even put that on camera and post it to YouTube right that could be dangerous another thing I don't want is I don't promote proprietary software at all proprietary operating systems like the mac os I've never done that right it's all about free and open source operating systems on this channel mostly linux but sometimes bsd uh haiku uh reactos things like that so you're not going to get any mac os coverage the other thing that I don't want to do is I don't want people that are looking for an alternative to windows to move to hackintosh right that that is not a good move that's not a better move if anything that's just a lateral move I want these people to go to a better operating system so if somebody's looking to replace windows with a better operating system I'm never going to tell them I install hackintosh right I'm going to tell them to install linux because now that is an actual up move right that's not a lateral move so yeah you're not getting any hackintosh coverage on my channel next up is a question about the automatic login option that exists in many linux distributions installation programs he writes hey dt when is it appropriate to enable the login automatically option personally I only use it for local media pcs that have no personal info and aren't connected to the web this is to make it easy for guests to watch movies or play games you have the right idea on this there are some use cases some very specific use cases where having automatic login turned on makes sense it's typically for kiosk kind of computers so a public kiosk computer that anybody can use obviously doesn't need to have a username or password right so you typically businesses have kiosk for browsing the web or usually they just are a chrome browser that opens up full screen that way you can go to their website maybe apply for a job things like that you've guys you guys know what kiosk computers are so that makes sense to have those kinds of setups just log in automatically but for a personal computer for an actual human being like you guys right so on your desktops your laptops you should never have those things log in automatically it is very dangerous because if you're not around somebody could just pull up to your computer open your laptop and just get into your machine no problems right no passwords being asked and they could open your browser they could see your browser history maybe you've got your password saved in some sites because you know a lot of people save passwords on sites they go to all the time and their browser maybe you have personal documents tax documents things like that where they could get information like your social security number and things like that that obviously you know you don't want just anybody to have that information so in my opinion for any kind of normal personal computer you should never have that thing automatically log in the automatic login option the reason it exists in some of these linux installers is because some people are setting up public kiosk type of computers with these linux distributions and in that particular niche case it makes sense moving on i got a lot of questions and comments the other day when i did that video about creating a dtos iso using the arch iso program and the calamaris installer and i'm going to sum it up with two questions that i got hey dt do it with debbie and very please and hey dt i was wondering if you could add open box to your dtos iso okay so i get this all the time regarding dtos especially the post installation script that's designed for arch linux hey can you make dtos work with debbie jintu redora or whatever it happens to be slack where nixos is a common when i get no i can't that's a lot of work i would have to literally scrap everything i've done to make it work on arch and start all over right and i would have to build my own repose for debbie and for example or nixos i'd have to rewrite all the package builds and everything it's a nightmare right i can't i can't make it work on every linux distribution it's just impossible it's too much work i've chose arch linux because arch linux kind of makes sense for this right and the other one uh can i add an open box session to dtos i could i probably want though but i wouldn't rule it out in the future again i can't i'm not trying to add every window manager and every desktop environment to this thing it was mainly a proof of concept you guys kind of wanted something you guys wanted an easy way to deploy my dot files and things like that so i put dtos out there but i don't want it to be practically a full-time job and if i tried to do all of this i would really spend all of my time working on nothing but dtos and i don't want to do that you don't need me to install open box on dtos i bet you can figure that out and if you want my configs i've got configs over on my dot files repo over on my git lab and the next question hey dt how do you cope with baldness moving on a comment that i've gotten several times over the last few weeks is hey dt as a youtuber you really should get a quieter keyboard i don't know i actually made the conscious choice to get these clicky tactile keys and they're not overly loud they are loud but they're not super loud there are certainly sets of key switches that i could get that would be much louder than these but i like them because they do make a little noise and i like that for my personal use right i didn't buy this for for you guys right these are the keyboards that i like to use and if for whatever reason you don't like it on the videos oh well i think most of you probably do because i don't get this comment that much i've had a few people complain that the the keyboard noises kind of drive them a little insane but because of the type of videos i do mostly where i'm typing in a terminal or typing in emacs things like that having that little feedback that i'm actually typing while you guys are watching the screen and the the characters are appearing is it really that bad let me know in the comments down below should i get quieter key switches and the final question hey dt which distro and window manager do you use and why also do you care about desktop minimalism and that's the one we're gonna focus on mostly is the desktop minimalism because most of you guys that have watched my videos for a while you guys know that i run arco linux on my main production workstation here in this office and that i run arco linux on my home computer as well now why do i run arco linux on these machines it's because i installed arco linux on these machines and it's working i i don't distro hop you know not on my personal equipment if i install something and it's working i don't hop um and now granted what i'm actually running on this machine is nothing like arco linux out of the box because i have my own configs with dt os my own repos my own packages there's very little resemblance of what is actually on this machine to what actually ships with arco linux out of the box so but arco linux is definitely the base of this operating system as far as the window manager i use i have about 12 window managers installed on my computer typically these days you see me either running either xmonad or qtile as the window manager when i'm doing my videos and the reason i use those particular window managers is because i have them well set up as far as key bindings and desktop layouts it makes it easier when i'm recording my desktop on camera moving on to the second part of this question do i care about desktop minimalism it depends on what we're talking about because desktop minimalism are we talking about do i want a desktop that doesn't have a lot of features because that would be a minimal desktop so something like dwm for example it's a window manager that is written in less than 2000 lines of code and it has practically no features right dwm is such a minimal window manager as far as features go that it's practically unusable out of the box you actually have to patch dwm right and add more code to it and then recompile dwm to actually make it usable because you have to add certain features that i think most computer users expect to have been there out of the box that with dwm aren't there i don't care about that kind of minimalism when i talk about minimalism being important i'm not saying that software shouldn't have features right that that's a wrong kind of minimalism now some people do appreciate that kind of minimal minimalism but i think that's more of an opinion some people's opinions are very on that but when i talk about a desktop being minimal i'm talking about is it lightweight is it light on system resource usage that i care about because that's actually important for example the genome desktop takes up over one gigabyte of ram to boot on a cold boot that's a lot of wasted ram that could be better spent in some of my actual programs like kaden live for example my kaden live video editor will actually use all the ram i can give it but if 1.5 gigabytes of that ram that i could have given it is being sucked up by the genome desktop environment that's a problem right because there are other desktop environments and window managers i mean there's standalone window managers that i could use that seriously take 200 maybe 300 megabytes of ram on a cold boot just to boot into so think about all of that extra ram that would be available if i chose that particular window manager over something really heavy like genome and genome is probably the heaviest one of the bunch the deep end desktop is also very heavy the deep end desktop is super heavy as far as cpu usage because it has all the animations and the blurring effects you know the gaussian blurring that's going on in the menus and things it looks really pretty and i know some computer users appreciate aesthetics for me i'm more about function overlooks and i don't want all of my cpu and ram being used for something just to look good right because at the end of the day the computer is still here to actually get work done now before i go i need to thank a few special people i need to thank the producers of this episode and of course i'm talking about gabe james matt paul royal west armor dragon commander angry george lee met those nator yon paul peace archon fedor realities for less red prophet roland tools deviler wards into anabuntu and

Here I am at the firefighters' stand behind me. I'm feeling a little bit of trepidation here. We're doing this interview before I do the climb for obvious reasons, because I might have completely out of breath, but for a fantastic worthwhile cause. There's over 600 firefighters on the climb, and they always support crews and families and loved ones here, and it's about getting the conversation going around mental health and smashing the stigma around post-traumatic stress injury and other mental health issues.


Okay, are all of you able to hear me? Yeah, okay, all right. Thank you, Rin. All right, so welcome to our week 10 of our class. We have been going through different parts of elements of marriage and family and we've covered a couple of chapters up until now. We're still in that, in the same topic and we're gonna be looking at other elements of marriage. We, like I did mention, we're not going chronologically in your book or in the text that's given. That's because of just for easier categorization and just kind of divided the entire course into smaller bits. So right now, we're looking at elements of marriage and we're gonna be looking at lesson 13 and if you have your books with you, we're on page 135 or if you've taken, if you're looking in the soft copy, we're at page 136, okay? So we're going to be discussing this today. But before we get started, just a quick recap about what we covered last week. So it would be great if some of you could just share your insights on what was covered last week. So you could go ahead, okay? Would someone like to start? Anyone? Shiv Kumar, Nikhil, not very clear in once again? Yeah, yeah, no, it's better. Yes, I can hear you now. So Pasu, last time we talked about managing our home, where the husband and the wife share the workload in the home and I'll just leave it to one person, but do it as a team and just work together, yeah. Okay, we covered one more chapter. Anyone else? And then Nikhil, Shiv Kumar, yes, students? We covered chapter eight, chapter eight. What is chapter eight? It's absolute silence. Jack in, would you like to help? What did we cover in chapter eight? We saw about the sexual health and hygiene and also how it's coming through an expression of marriage, honoring, and how God has kept it directed our, God has kept it for marriage. He had designed it for the marriage and the enjoyment after marriage. So certain aspects of sex and how God has designed it for us. Okay, thank you. Thank you so much, Jack, yes. So these are the two chapters that we looked into we're going to be focusing on another chapter on boundaries. We're going to understand of what it means to instill certain fences, right, you know, when after marriage. Okay, so to just probably give you start with an introduction. Now, even a marriage in itself when a person's married, it does not automatically keep you away or insulate you from having affections to those of the opposite sex, okay? And so it is still true that a married man or a married woman can feel attraction towards others. And these, the affections that are created outside of marriage often begins in a very, very simple, casual way. I love it someone who you may be spending time with maybe at workplace or with, you know, maybe with a friend. And this can, maybe it starts off with good intentions but it can lead to emotional affections which can further lead to an entanglement which can lead to an involvement, okay? And the impact of these emotional connections or attachments can cause severe harm to the marriage, okay? So we need to know and I think so in short that marriage does not isolate you from having other affections. So what do we do is to create or guard our marriage or guard our minds, guard the way that we feel or guard our affections towards forming attachments like this, okay?  You may be also involved in ministry, involved in spiritual disciplines, however, we can all be vulnerable to this area, in this area, okay? So we must recognize that there can be a threat or a danger and we need to do all, guard all that we have in order to ensure that we protect our marriage. So this is basically the focus of the marriage, of how we can establish and develop certain boundaries, certain fences and also being aware of how we need to keep ourselves away from these temptations, away from these attacks, okay? So we like to look into scripture to see the, you know, it's great to see that scripture makes a reference or it brings about this teaching in very vivid manners and if you would look at it all through Proverbs, what's been written by Solomon, it's been shared, you know, he brings about the danger or brings about how we need to be wise in this area, okay? So let's just take some time to, just to read some of these scriptures and then we will begin to unpack that. So can someone read Proverbs chapter two, verses 16 to 22, Proverbs 2, 16 to 22? There are many verses, but I'll just probably take the bigger ones and Proverbs 7, 21 to 26. So either two people in the group can read that. Proverbs 2, 16 to 22 and Proverbs 7, 21 to 26. Proverbs 2, verse 16 to 22. To deliver you from the immoral woman from the seductress who flatters with her words, who forsakes the companion of her youth and forgets the covenant of her God, for her house leads down to death and her paths to death, none who go to her return, nor do they regain the paths of life, so you may walk in the way of goodness and keep to the paths of righteousness, for the upright will dwell in the land and the blameless will remain in it. Proverbs 7, verse 21 to 22. Ma'am, can you repeat it? Prabhu, you can read. Please go ahead. Okay, I think I'll just go ahead reading, Prabhu. Ma'am, it's you please. Sorry, sorry, I think I'm getting on mute for some reason. Okay, I will go ahead and read. Proverbs 7, 21 to 26. So she tempted him with her charms and he gave in to her smooth talk. Suddenly he was going with her like an ox on the way to be slaughtered like a deer prancing into a trap. When an arrow would pierce its heart, he was like a bird going into a net. He did not know that his life was in danger. Now then, sons, listen to me. Pay attention to what I say.  Don't go wandering after her. She has been the ruin of many men and caused the death of too many to count. Okay, so from this, what we are reading and what scripture really highlights is to be careful about the seductress, to beware of the temptress. I think in Proverbs 2 verse 16, some versions say a temptress, some say the smooth talking seductress, especially the one that has her ways or her life, not in the straight path and lures other people to join her. Okay, so it brings about a picture, it brings about an observation of how it's quite easy to understand that there are, there are people of this kind around and we are called to be there. So when you, I'm sure even as you've been through, you're in the places of either your work or in the places of where you're staying, wherever you're at, you definitely do see evidences of people having extra marital affairs, people going through one nightstands, there's unfaithfulness in the marriage. There are so many, so many things that go on around us. And we understand now even as people tend to accept it as something that is current, that is trending. So it's something that is prevalent, you will see it all around us. So you will see in workplaces how people freely flirt with one another, or they are using certain ways or they make suggestions in order to attract one another into romantic relationships without really regarding marriage in itself. And they are often you'd find that people are just attracted into these kinds of immoral relationships. And so, like I said, it could be a one nightstand or it could be an affair that keeps going on. Many, many people actually fall into this trap. And on the other hand, you would also see there are people waiting, men or women waiting to catch on to another person to have a relationship, an adulterous relationship. And often you see this very commonly in a workplace, in a workplace setting. So scripture is really helping us to see how we should see, we should have wisdom and we should use our prudence to stay away and even recognize that this can be the agenda of people that can be this seducing that takes place. So scripture has spoken about it long before you and I have actually even known of it and even see it. Now, it's good to understand or look at because often when people get into an adulterous or an extra marital relationship, it does not happen all at once. It doesn't happen when you see the person and you decide on that. It generally doesn't happen. Most cases it doesn't happen. What it is, the way that it happens, it's a very, very slow process. It's something that takes time or there are certain, maybe let's say, progressions of how that happened. So initially it's just probably talking to someone. You're spending time with someone. Maybe it a difficult time or you may be having an okay time, but you interact with someone, spend a lot of time with someone and there begins to be a conviction that the person you're spending time with maybe is better than your own spouse or that your spouse is not good enough or there is a certain comparison that comes about that, okay, this person listens to me more, spends time with me, finds out things about me and there's a comparison about what's not happening in the marriage. And so when that begins, soon there becomes a dissatisfaction in the marriage. And when that happens, there's a lot more of emotional openness where you are connecting with the other person a lot more emotionally. And when that connection happens, there is emotional bonding that happens or emotional affections that take place. So it may come up a very casual relationship, the more that you spend time, the more that you are able to share with each other, there are an emotional bonding that happened or an emotional affection that happens and then it slowly moves into an entanglement, okay. What is an entanglement? Where you are thinking about the person or you're waiting for those interactions with the person either through a meeting or through phone calls or through texting or any other way that you can actually meet with the person. So that becomes an entanglement. Now this entanglement, when there is an entanglement, there is a lot more of sharing that takes place and an increased interaction that takes place which moves into a place of being secret, about being secretive about things, sharing secret things with the other person or meeting them in secret places or lying to the spouse and going to meet them because that emotional entanglement has happened. Now this, when this happens, it isn't long before it moves into a physical or a sexual relationship and then there is an involvement sexually and it comes to a place of getting into an affair or getting into adultery, okay. And then it becomes a life of secrecy, right. It becomes a life of hiding that things are kept away from the other person, okay. So it is a slow fade, okay. And we read this in Proverbs 9, 17 to 18, I'll read this.  So you see, what is eaten in secret is pleasant. So it becomes pleasurable because it is done in secret, right. It's a good thing to check and understand as to why people fall into this. What is some of the reasons why people fall into this kind of a sin. So one of the first things is probably the hurts that are there in the marriage, very often when the relationship and there are emotional hurts, it isn't spoken about, it isn't discussed, it isn't shared, it isn't dealt with, it isn't addressed, these hurts tend to take root. It begins to fester, it begins to rot to a sense that there is a sense of emotional loneliness that you feel. It brings about that feeling of not feeling loved by the other spouse, okay. There can be a sense of abandonment, a sense of rejection in marriages. There can also be unmet needs, that the emotional needs that go unmet where the person feels that the other person doesn't understand, okay. There could be expectations that are unfulfilled. People get into marriage wanting or thinking that marriage would occur a certain way, but that doesn't take place. And as a result, there is, those expectations are unmet. And there in itself, there is a seeking out that happens. Or there could be some kind of a pain or a situational crisis or experience which has caused an emotional trauma. And as a result, they fall into this. Or it can be past relationships, maybe their affections that have been, that started way back in school or a late adolescence. And as a result of which this maybe a connection again brings back these relationships. So if some of these have not been dealt with or any other kind of emotional issues. So all that we spoke about were emotional issues, right. So if that isn't dealt with, there is a huge tendency or people are vulnerable to these extra marital affairs. Sometimes there could also be issues with personality or issues with the way that they see models or moral standards, right. Not really holding godly standards in their lives and thinking that it's okay to break marriages or it's okay to have multiple relationships. Or it could be a place where a person willingly compromises what there may be the values that they had and what their values that they stood for, not having those values. It could also be, even for those who may be Christians could have a low commitment, a poor commitment to what God's word says and what God's word desires for marriage. Or it can be a poor commitment to one's own spouse or just not seeing that living in sin can be very detrimental to a relationship. Often the people say, what's wrong if my spouse doesn't know or what's wrong if it's a one night stand and my spouse never even found out. That shows it's a poor understanding of what sin is or a low tolerance of sin. Now these often also make people very prone to having these immoral relationships. The other some reasons that people may have is that the sense of excitement, wanting to see that sense of excitement and something to look forward for outside of the marriage or a need to feel entitled because when there is success or when there is power or when someone has authority, they feel they are entitled to very many things. So these are some of the reasons why people do fall into sin like this, okay? Any questions? Are we all good? Are we all here? Are we all following? Okay, all right. Okay, great. Okay, so let's move on then. So as you know, what are the lessons that we learn or what are we actually called to do? So let's look at the life of David, okay? And what really happened and what are some of the principles that we can take from David's life? So would someone pick up from 2 Samuel chapter 11 versus one to four? Could somebody please read that? 2 Samuel 11 versus one to four. When that time of year came around again, the anniversary of the Ammonite aggression, David dispatched Job and his fighting men of Israel in full force to destroy the Ammonites for good. They laid siege to Rabba, but David stayed in Jerusalem. One late afternoon, David got up from taking his nap and was strolling on the roof of the palace. From his vantage point of the roof, he saw a woman bathing. The woman was stunningly beautiful. David sent to ask about her and was told, isn't this Bathsheba, daughter of Iliam and wife of Yuria the Hittite? David sent his agents to get her. After she arrived, he went to bed with her. This occurred during the time of purification following her period. Then she returned home. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry. Okay, yeah, so this is a very, a common story, a common lesson, a common story that we've all heard, but we'll just pick up some insights and understanding from what are some of the things that we need to take care of, okay? We know that when we're looking at the life of King of David, we do see a couple of things about him that, you know, and you read so much about David that you know that he loved, he really loved God. He was a man who had faith. He was a man who did what God wanted him to do.   And I'm pretty sure, you know, the Psalms speak of it as to how he regarded as God as his Lord and his King and always giving thanks to him for what had happened. Now, through him becoming a king and after he became the King of Israel, we do see that there were a lot of victories that he won, okay? I'll just read from scripture in 2 Samuel chapter eight versus 13 onwards. So it reads, David became very famous. After his return, he destroyed 18,000 edomites in the Valley of Salt. He placed army garrisons throughout Edom and all the edomites became David's subjects. This was another example of how the Lord made David victorious wherever he went, okay? And it says, David reigned overall Israel and was fair to everyone. So if you look at this, you see how famous and how successful David had become, okay? But if you look in verse one, it says, when the time of year came around again, I'll just read it from one of the versions I have. So it says, the following spring, the time of the year when kings go to war, okay? So it says when kings go to war, which means that was the time of the year when kings were doing their job, which is going to war. What did David do? He sent his army and Joab to fight the Ammonites. But what does David do? He stays behind in Jerusalem. So one of the first things we do understand is that here David, when he was to do something, there was a purpose that he was there for his king, left that purpose and stayed back because he must have been in the peak of his success, knowing that it wasn't necessary for him to go and there is where he falls into this temptation, okay? So what do we see here is that there can be times where when we may be in the heightened, our time of heightened success or at a time of significant difficulty, we generally could be putting our guards down, right? At the time of success, we may not be very careful or at the time of deep distress is again a time where all the way we may be most vulnerable and we are not careful, we let our guards down and it is during this time that we do see that our judgment about things may be very poor and as a result, we may be making wrong choices or wrong decisions and we tend to fall into sin at these times normally, when may normally we probably are able to walk away from sin. So what is the learning that we have? What is the insight that we have? It is needed for us to be on double guard, to be really careful, to ensure that we keep our antennae our defenses up during times of great success or during times of great conflicts, okay? Because it's just a momentary decision, a thoughtless decision that we may take that can have very, very lasting consequences in our life. So at the point of time when we say, no, it's okay, it's just this or it's all right, maybe it's just text or it's just a ride or it's just a visit or anything like that can put us to a place of weakness which could definitely bring about our fall or bring about us getting lured into that temptation. So that's a lesson that we learn from David's life, okay? Now, even as we're talking about being on guard, scripture also talks about how we need to know and we'll read that portion once again, is we need to be aware of not trading something that we have that is enduring, that is lasting, that we can enjoy for a long period of time to something that is momentary, that can be just for the fun of it or for the thrill of it as people would say, right? So leaving something that is lasting, that will endure, that is a blessing for something that can be of momentary fulfillment or a momentary satisfaction. So this Proverbs five versus one to 23 actually brings about a contrast of this, of a cheap will as against something that you have as enduring, okay? So would someone please read that? Proverbs chapter five versus one to 23. Could someone please read that? Proverbs five, one to 23. Dear friend, pay close attention to this. My wisdom, listen very closely to the way I say it.  The lips of a seductive woman are oh so sweet. Her soft words are oh so smooth. But it won't be long before she's gravel in your mouth. I'm painting your gut a wound in your heart. She's dancing down the brim rose path to death.   So my friend, listen closely. Don't treat my words casually. Keep your distance from such a woman. Absolutely stay out of a neighborhood. You don't want to squander your wonderful life to waste your precious life among the hard hearted. I should you allow strangers to take advantage of you. Why be exploited by those who care nothing for you?  Why did I reject the discipline in life? Why didn't I listen to my mentors or take my teachers seriously? My life is ruined. I haven't one blessing to show for my life. Do you know the saying, drink from your own rain barrel, draw water from your own spring bed well? It's true. Otherwise you may one day come home and find your barrel empty and you're well polluted. Your father is for you and you only, not to be passed around among strangers. Bless your fresh flowing fountain. Enjoy the wife you married as a young man. Lovely as an angel, beautiful as a rose. Don't ever quit taking delight in your body. Never take her love for granted. Why would you trade enduring intimacies for cheap thrills with a wool? For dallians with the promise she is stranger. Mark well that God doesn't miss a move you make. He's aware of every step you take. The shadow of your sin will overtake you and you'll find yourselves stumbling all over yourself in the dark.   Okay, thank you, Ren. Thank you. So through this, like we said, it brings about what is a momentary satisfaction as against that, which can be enduring, which can be satisfied. So momentary things, momentary decisions for those thrills is something that can destroy you, that can ruin you. And what does it say about an enduring relationship? It parallels it to a fresh flowing fountain. It was 18, I think in mine. It says, let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. So that is what your spouse is parallel to, is what meant to, right? That she is a fountain of blessing. And it also talks of how God instructs a person not to get lost or trade this long lasting intimacy with that of a momentary thrill. And it is something that you enjoy with your spouse. And it's something that you've been given to enjoy with your spouse. So take need, take care of that instruction. And this is what the author of problems is actually telling us to take heed that not to trade it for something that is momentary. The next thing that when we look into scripture, scripture gives us what are the consequences of such a behavior or such a lifestyle of maybe adultery? What is the consequence? What can happen as a result? So let's just read through this Proverbs chapter six verses 23 to 35. Can someone please read that? Proverbs six, 23 to 35. Can anyone else read it? I think Durin takes the initiative to read it every time. Can somebody else read please? Proverbs up to six verses 23 to 35. So the commandment is the law of life. It gives us instruction of the way of life. To keep you from the eagerness and the flattering term of this electress, do not lust after the duty in your heart, not let her be, and use it with her eyelids. For by means of a harlot, mass is reduced to a cluster of bread. And an electress will pray upon his precious bread. Till 35. Can an electress take five to his chosen and his clothes not be wet? In one walk on half to four hours, and his feet not be sealed. So is he who goes into his neighbor's right? Whoever touches her shall not be innocent. People will not despise of the oppressor. If he is to satisfy himself when he is starving. And when he is found, he must restore seven gold. He may have to give up all the substance of this house. Whoever commits adultery with the women, lacks understanding. He who thus so destroys his own soul, wounds and dishonor he will get off. And his reproach will not be wiped away. For jealousy is a husband's burden. Therefore, he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will accept no recompense. Nor will he be appeased, though you give many gifts. Okay, thank you, Anand. So it gives you an understanding of what happens when someone engages in adultery. It is something that will destroy you.  Can you walk barefoot on hot coals and not get blisters?  So it's talking or it's highlighting about how adultery is something that is going to destroy you. Even if you are going to engage in it, it is going to destroy you because verse 33, Proverbs 6 verse 33, sorry, just looking at it at another version. It says, wounds and constant disgrace will be your lot. Your shame will not be erased, which means you're the one when you get into that, it is going to be hell. It is going to be something that you're going to be carrying in for a long time. And the shame is not something that will be erased.  So it's talking about how serious adultery can be.  So it's talking about how destructive it is, although the pleasure seems quite momentary. Now, having understood this, there are some principles or some guidelines that we can understand or we can think about. And there are some instructions that are given for us so that we are also judicious in the way that we relate with one another. So one of the things that we just want to highlight is one or two instructions or recommendations for women is one is for women to stay on guard, to be careful. Because when you look at the world around, you understand and you know that there are going to be people or there are people who are waiting to prowl or waiting to violate you, right? So it is bringing about the instruction to be careful because there can be people who look for women who are vulnerable so that they can seduce them into something that is immoral, right? So it's a caution. It's a word of caution for women of whether you're married or whether you're single to be on guard, to be prudent, to be careful about what will happen because if you look at Proverbs 14-1, it says, homes are made by the wisdom of women but are destroyed by foolishness, right? So the kind of power or the kind of plan that God has for women is to ensure to keep wise, to stay wise with them. So it's a word of caution. So it is to remember that as a wife or as a woman, you are your husband's bride, as it says in Proverbs 12-4. A wife is her husband's pride and joy. So it is important to stand on guard, to stand careful without being vulnerable to be used or to be violated by other people around because often, if women may not be careful, anything that someone would say could feel especially if you are in a marriage that is emotion, that there is an emotional drain on the marriage, anyone, anybody says could make somebody feel a sense of belonging, a sense of being wanted. So it says, women stay on guard. Another instruction that we read is of how it is important for women to dress modestly that one part of the way a woman, a defense or the way that we protect, a woman protects herself is by the way that she dresses. It's a known factor that men are generally turned on by what they see visually. And so if a woman puts on clothes that aren't modest or may not cover their parts of the body well enough, it definitely gets the attention of men. So it is a setting up for unnecessary trouble for a woman. So it is proper for a woman to be modest, to be sensible about her clothing. And we see this in 1st Timothy 2, verses nine to 10. I'll just read that from, I'll just read that. 1st of the piece, chapter two, verses nine and 10, okay. So it reads, and I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes. For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the things that they do, by the good things that they do. Okay, so it is, it's a way to be careful. It's just an instruction for women also to be careful because it's a way that God's made men, God's made women men being attracted by what they see and women needing to be prudent about what they wear so that we stay on guard and we don't set ourselves in for trouble, okay. Now before we get into another next portion is what happens? What happens if someone has got into adultery or if someone has taken this pathway, what can be done? So we will look at that in the next one now but then we have around two minutes and I just want to pause for any questions that we may have. Or any questions or any thoughts, any, you can bring up any reflections, anything. Okay, if we don't have any questions, let's take a break. It's 10.49 on my clock. Let's come back by 11, we will resume into our next hour.


Hey guys, it's Cairo. Welcome back to another video. Today I'm joined by Fumaz again, and we're doing Death Swap. Death Swap time. Yes. Okay, so what is Death Swap? Death Swap, basically.  No. Bad. Bad. Alright. Um, so should we start then? Uh, yeah, sure. Are you ready? Yes, I am ready, Fumaz. Okay, then. Three, two, one, and run. Alright, we're off. Well, so, guys, basically, what this video will be about is me killing Cairo at first swap.  Absolutely. 100 million billion trillion percent you are dying first swap. I don't know, man. I don't know, man. I'm pretty confident. No, I'm actually more confident than you could ever be. And I've never used 1.14 before. Oh. I mean, I have, but I don't, I've never played it. Yeah, sure, whatever. You're gonna need it, so. I'm gonna need my advantage. Yeah. You've never beat a Minecraft before, like, yesterday, so.  You don't need to poo on my happiness. Yeah, and you didn't. I'm proud that I beat Minecraft. How do you already have getting an upgrade? Uh, cause I have a game plan, Fumaz. Yeah, same. Do not use the strategy that I think you're gonna use. What do you mean, the strategy that you think I'm gonna use? What do you think I'm gonna use, Fumaz? I'm not gonna say it. Anyway, I am so anxious. I don't know when the timer will... Same.  That would be the worst thing. Like, watch me, like, be next to diamonds and then we swap and then you get diamonds. Yeah, I would be... that would be fun. Wouldn't it? That would be fun for you, but not for me. Yeah, that's kind of the point. I have a game plan, Fumaz, okay? Acquire hardware. Bruh. Chill out, okay? You're getting all of it. I have a game plan too, you know that. Mm-hmm. My game plan is a lot better than yours. Oh, I bet it is. You want. I need to find food. Okay, my game plan is basically complete. I just need to wait for the swapping thing to end. Fumaz, you're dead! You're dead! If you're next to lava, just know that it won't work. Oh no, don't worry. I'm much more set than you think that I am. If you're next to zombies or things, I will literally... Yeah, there's no zombies right now. Because... Oh, you just got ironed. Bruh, I got it like 50 minutes ago. Yeah, yeah. Oh my god, I think the timer is so close, but I don't know. I don't like that. I don't like any of this.  Fumaz, I thought we were friends. Jokey. How could you say that? I'm actually so offended by you saying that to me. Okay, whatever. Ooh, who got an iron sword? What do you need a sword for? Well, I know what your plan is. Okay, yeah, you know what my plan is. I'm going to stop here.  Oh, I'm going to die, not you. When is the swap?  What? What do you mean what? How do you have... I have a game plan. My plan is ruined. I have a game plan, Fumaz. I'm a man with a plan named Stan. Bro, when is it going to go? The timer, I'm so... Oh god, here it is. Here it is, here it is, here it is, here it is. Okay, Cairo. 3, 2, 1... No! Bro. I had a water bucket too. I probably should have been holding that. Okay, you died first. You died first. You died first. But we both died. No, you died first. We both died. But you died first. No, that's what counts, you died first. All right, so we're in round two, and I'm going to completely destroy Fumaz this time. Last time, if I had been holding my water bucket, I absolutely would have won that one. Yeah, sure, whatever. Okay, are you ready to start? Um, I guess? I guess I am, yeah. Okay, 3, 2, 1... Let's go. All right, let's go. Let's go Fumaz, where are you going?  No, I'm ready for you to die, okay? Last time if I... That's what you said last round. Yeah, last round if I held my water bucket, I would have won. And yes, you did die. No.   Yeah, I died after you, so it didn't count. Well, it still counted. It counts as a win for me. Yeah. Ooh! Okay, I'm not going to go near that. And I just found a lot of fire. I just found like a lot of fire. All right. And I'm in the water, so I can have a water bucket. What's your game plan, Cairo? Oh, I have a game plan. What's your game plan? I have a game plan. Don't even worry about it. I have it all set up. Whatever makes you sleep at night. Yeah, it does. It makes me sleep like a baby.  I have a plan. I'm just going to wait for this iron to smell in the meantime.  You should die. One of my baddest? Whatever.  I'm in a cave.   I know how I could kill you. Well, that's the thing. You never know. I mean, I should know. All right. You have iron. Okay. Yeah, I do have iron. This is my game plan, Cairo. I'm going to dig straight down. And iron pick. All right. So I see, I think I see the cave that you found. Yeah, let's just not meet each other.  Yeah, but I don't know if I could just not kill you if I see you. Why did I place my furnace? I'm sorry.  What? Yeah. All right. So I'm going to heavily rely on that. No. I'm going to heavily rely on your self-claim that you are not good at Minecraft. Well, it's not a self-claim, whereas it is a years of experience claim.  I've died in ways that you wouldn't even think were possible. All right. Me and my raw pork chop are going to win this. Oh. Language. My goodness.  How did you survive? That wasn't that many blocks up from us. That wasn't that many blocks up from us. I should have towered up sooner. I should have towered up sooner. That was like, I should have towered up sooner. I should have towered up sooner. I should have towered up sooner. I still have three and a half hearts. Yes. I knew it. I knew it. And I didn't even die. You ready? Third round winner takes all. Are you ready guys? Three, two, one. Muffin time. It's muffin time.  I'm calling it. Yes, same. I just lost half my health. I just lost half my health. Honestly though. There's no trees around. What do you mean there's no trees around? This is literally a snow biome. There are trees. There's a fish. There's a freaking salmon. Is it Mr. Squeegee? Yes. I think it's Mr. Squeegee. Okay, finally. I found Mr. Squeegee. Mr. Squeegee is swimming in the sea. Fish in a bucket. So spicy. Fish in a bucket. So spicy. Fish in a bucket. Very nice. Okay, Carol.   I'm ready to win.  I'm ready to win this. Faster. Faster. Mr. Squeegee is swimming in the sea. Literally. Carol, you're dead. Fumas! Oh, Fumas.   Okay, I have enough. Oh my God, I just got mine iron with a freaking... With a what? With a normal pickaxe. I need to get closer to... Oh my God, where am I? Where am I? Where are you? I have no idea. I have nothing. This round is the worst for me. Why do we spawn in this mobile? Oh, I need food. I so need food. Yeah, I know. Me too. I don't have a trap. I'll just say that I literally don't have a trap. Yeah. You're gonna like just literally murder me. I don't have a trap. Carol, I don't have a trap either. Just so you know. I don't trust that though. I hope you know. I don't have iron. Yeah, but I don't have a trap. I don't even have iron. What trap is gonna be so bad? Oh my God. Okay, Carol, are you ready for this? Yes, I am ready. Are you? That's too easy. I knew you had a water bucket, so I, what I did was simply dig down so you could replace it. I dug down a lot last time, replaced the water bucket. And that's the way for me, that's the way for me.


I made the Made From Mermaids Alana dress and I want to show you how it turned out in case you want to make one too and have a feeling that you will. Be sure to subscribe so you never miss out when I post a new sewing video. I share pattern reviews like this one every Monday. You guys know I love sewing dresses and this one was no exception. I am excited to share the good, the bad, and the ugly of this dress pattern with you. The Made From Mermaids Alana dress was chosen as the Sew Together pattern for August. Instagram followers voted on it from a group of knit dress patterns and I was happy they chose this one because I don't own any dresses like this at all. I think I was nervous to make one because I wasn't sure how flattering it would be but I got to tell you I love this dress. I have worn it multiple times since I've made it. It's just so comfortable and easy to throw on, I can't resist it. The website describes Alana as a beautiful and relaxed fit knit pattern. You can choose from a high or low V neckline in the front. The back can also have a high or low V neck or a low scoot back. You can also add an optional strap or ties across the low back options. There are six hemline options, crop, top, curved top, mini, dress, or maxi length and you can add a low, mid, or high side slits on the mini dress or maxi options. That's all not enough for you. You can also add optional inseam pockets. The neckline, straps, and arm size are finished with knit binding. The pattern is obviously a simple design but there are so many options to tweak each one from the neck so you could make so many of these. I made the low front neckline but changed the V to more of a scoop just to make sewing easier. The V isn't difficult, it's just a little bit more finicky and the day I was sewing this I was not in the mood so I didn't do it. I made the low back converted to a scoop as well. This is the maxi length version with literally not a single alteration to the length. I am 5'5 for reference. The pattern comes with instructions for lengthening or shorting the pattern as needed but I was pleasantly surprised with the length as is. It is perfect to wear with flat sandals in the summer. I also added the mid-length slits to the side seams but I decided not to add the pockets because there is no way seam to anchor them and I just hate floppy pockets especially in a knit. For the knit binding I did purchase some prepared jersey binding from Stalmaker fabrics which is so cool and will obviously make this attaching the binding so much easier but I ultimately ended up leaving it off because the self fabric was just too good, too easy to work with. This is the Moody Blooms line from the Create Joy project. A fabric line from Moda by Laura Muir. You can get it lots of places but I got mine from Stalmaker fabrics. The fabric is made from 50% cotton 45% modal which is like a brand name of rayon and 5% elesting. The mix of cotton and rayon make this fabric stable while also soft and drapey. When I'm using a cotton rayon blended knit I always make sure there is more cotton than rayon. This just makes it easier to sew with and less likely to stretch out over time. It's also not as clingy or you know there's not as much drape so it doesn't hug your body as much. This fabric pressed nicely and sewed up with no issues on either my sewing machine or my serger. Two thumbs up from me. As for alterations I didn't make any to the actual pattern I just graded based on my measurements however I did add a shelf bra to the bodice. I just knew I wouldn't be comfortable wearing it without another layer of fabric and I pretty much loathe strapless bras, even bandos, no thank you. Adding the shelf bra was so simple and I have a tutorial showing you just how I did it. Check the description box for a link to that. For the strapping the pattern suggests using clear elastic to help stabilize it but I didn't have any of that so I just adhered some Trico interfacing instead. The straps might have stretched out a little bit but I mean not very much and like I said I've worn this dress several times prior to filming this video. What do you do when you don't have a notion that you need and you're like in the middle of a project? Are you a put the project on hold until you buy the thing kind of person or are you a make it work with what I've got kind of person? I'm clearly a make it work person sometimes that bites me in the butt but this time I think it worked out fine. There are a lot of things I love about this dress. I feel like the fit is flattering considering there are so few seams. If I'm being super critical though I'd say that the back hip needs to be a bit wider as there is the littlest bit of pulling above my bum. FYI this is not a sway back issue guys. I don't have a sway back and many of you don't either. I think we see fabric pulling and we immediately think that there is a length issue when in fact it can be resolved by addressing the width. So next time I make this dress I'll add maybe half an inch to the back pattern piece at the hip and then the dress should fall nicely along my back. If you'd like to learn how I get such a good fit right out of the gate like this check out my Fast Fit System. It's the same worksheet that I use on every single pattern that I sew. I have linked it in the description box for you. If you're still having issues with fit after using the Fast Fit System we can also do a one-on-one consultation that is also available at the link in the description box. And if you like seeing things like this that I have made be sure to check out last week's pattern review. It was this really cute McCall's jumpsuit. I've linked it to the end screen here. If you are watching on mobile you can grab the link in the description box. But that is going to do it for me today y'all. Thank you so much for watching and I will see you very soon. Bye.


This study investigates the effectiveness of percutaneous kyphoplasty, PKP, combined with solidronic acid, a cluster, in treating osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, OVCF. The results show that one week after operation, both groups showed improvement in visual analogue scale, VAS, and Oswistry Disability Index, ODI, but the experimental group continued to improve, while the control group worsened rapidly one year after operation. Bone mineral density improved significantly six months and one year after operation in the experimental group, but bone metabolism decreased significantly. For patients in the control group suffered from OVCF again and three patients had fever symptoms during the follow-up period. Overall, the study suggests that PKP combined with a cluster is effective in treating and preventing OVCF. This article was authored by Bin Liu, Fushengan, UGE, and others.
