lution so if you're ready for the vote all those in favor signify by saying aye aye and any pose so the motion carries for zero thank you very much all of you for your hard work and dedication to what I think is a very very important issue great and finally we have not finally got one other thing but um a little bit later than we thought and I apologize an hour later than we had anticipated um is item 10 discuss and provide direction to staff on the trinity education centers proposal to start the infinite center a daily youth drop-in center and after school program and um counselor emory has been working with um Dr. Trevia Childs on this I see Dr. Childs is here welcome thank you I'm sorry so late but I did notice she got off and probably did something um much more constructive and then you've joined us again so I appreciate that um so Megan do you want to how would you like to carry on a lot of information which I thank you for yeah well this is the second time that I've been contacted in order to be the the counselor liaison uh with a private citizen but also a non-profit executive director um and Dr. Trevia Childs in addition to all she does for the city as a school board member she is an executive director of the non-profit called trinity educational center and one of its programs this called infinite which is to provide infinite opportunities uh for our young people by providing them a safe space um by providing them um healthy activities and and choices um as well as as healthy food and and um conversation and friendship and and so I am very happy to really let her speak for herself she's done a lot of research um and something I've learned I'll just add in this process is that there is quite a bit of grant funding for these kinds of non-profit centers and I think the the role of our city is is something that we have to define and it will be something that will change through time and and I'll speak more to that as as Dr. Trevia Childs goes and goes forward with the description of her project just based on what I know that has been done in the past and what is being done elsewhere all right well thank you so Dr. Childs you have the floor okay thank you I will try to keep this really brief the issue is that now it seems like South Burlington High School is noted as the best high school in Vermont and then also South Burlington was also on the um noted that it's the best place to live but how can that be when cities like Burlington Essex has a youth center where their kids can go we can't teach our kids about drugs at school you know with a lot of the a lot of the budget issues so Trinity is a place where kids get to be kids the youth run the center they they talk about programming what they want to do and it's a safe space so my thing is a lifetime special with uh COVID kids were it was suicide a lot of kids are going through a lot of stuff mental issues so why not give them a place where they can come even if they don't do anything and to be with their peers and to talk about what's going on and it's not really a program you know you have to be here at five thirty or six thirty they can decide well we want to do this today and it's okay because a youth center is about the youth and I'm not young any longer so I can't tell you what they'd like doing but they can sure tell you and then I thought about some of the people there in community like Mr. Martin that has a jewelry store he can come in do a workshop like we're talking about organic farming and taking care of ourselves why not teach them that also it's so much that we can teach them and I know South Burlington is kind of considered kind of bougie as what I was told before but we still have kids we have we still have youth that need our help so no matter how much money South Burlington supposedly have it is a need and now how it's set up tomorrow I meet with Heather who is over the U mall and I asked her for her space for six months for free so I'm going to look at two spaces tomorrow so if they can do that and I know the last thing that happened is that the city council gave seed money and plus paid for insurance so that's what I'm hoping that happens now so the seed money you want your requestings is it seven thousand dollars that's what they did oh that's what in the past you you haven't established a figure is that right eight thousand nine hundred and eighty two dollars oh eight thousand nine hundred and eighty two and is that the seed money and the insurance no I don't know how much they paid for the insurance last time okay I don't know Helen if you can I ask a question you certainly may yeah yeah so when when Bruce came to us with the chill center proposal man pat no act was there then so it must have been 2017 approximately right and we made a contribution then I think it was three thousand dollars right but so I'm just trying to establish some history is that sound right it was seven thousand dollars it was seven thousand yes and okay and it was also open for at least six months um neither my husband nor my husband neither my son nor Bruce can remember the length that it was open but as you might recall it was closed because h and m moved in and took the space and what's wonderful is Heather is saying the six months is safe for one of these two spaces and is there a clue left over from the fuel center that's available for this project no he gave it to two other nonprofits he gave it to other youth centers because it was all donated yeah I just didn't know if it was available for this thank you okay so I think the question before us is this is this something we would like to consider um supporting um I think we probably need to find out when when you get a space and sort of a timeline Dr. Childs but um if there are some other questions for counselors I mean I had one for you um Dr. Childs and I wondered if in terms of space and I I think I know the answer but the school department will soon have the um you know the current city hall that has you know a fair amount of space in it and I wondered if any of that space if you had considered thinking about the the center maybe in the big was it called the green mountain room I think the large meeting room has a little kitchen and if that had been a conversation um or support from the school where our council usually meets in that building yeah yeah yes no it hasn't been discussed and I think one of the issues is that the youth want to get away from school so they can feel safe and where they can talk because that sounds like a good idea on paper but when you take leave school and then they're gonna kind of see the same people they just left so can they really talk can there really be youth there I don't know okay I can go check it out I'm not even sure if it's an option right I just was curious as an option but if you I guess if you get free space from Heather there isn't that's a better option I suppose yeah just for a temporary yes and then I can work on finding other locations okay and and Megan sent us all um some good information about the current programs and um Jesse did you say that to everyone Megan or was it just to just to you Jesse and Andrew I thought I was very curious to know what Essex the village of Essex provides and the way of support to the to the they call it a teen center in in Essex and just thought it was important information for us to know that they do provide the space um now it does happen to be upstairs from the village offices and the senior center at two Lincoln so it's right at five corners um and I spoke to the teen center director who used the you know the ambiguous word interesting um that it's interesting to be upstairs from the municipal offices which I understood in the manner that Dr. Child said is that high schoolers probably wouldn't choose to go hang out above the city manager's office right next police station isn't it yeah yeah so so I just I wanted just for the council to know the level of support that they it's a very large space they have pictures on their website and I can send the website to to the other counselors but they have a pool table they have a foosball they have a kitchen they have a seating area I mean they have a really not and they have couches they do field trips I mean it's it's not necessarily what Travia will put together it's her vision as the executive director I'm just trying to just give you an idea of the space that they have communities are doing I would encourage you to send that and have the other counselors look at it just to see what one looks like in one of our neighboring communities sure and and what I you know I learned in what I think Dr. Child responded when Jesse asked the question too about funding is that there is there are a lot of grants available for this kind of space because this is an at-risk population and so this this money that we provided to Bruce you know just four years ago and that and that Dr. Child is asking for it is I believe put to really good uses because we are serving a community need by providing a safe space a space where these young people want to go where they want to have you know supervision that is not necessarily the same that they get in other spaces but that it's it's a it's a different kind of supervision it's a mentor it's a you know it's somebody that they that they know on a personal level as opposed to someone that they have to perform well for and I think that that's really important for them to be able to let down their hair and to know that they're accepted for who they are and and that there's love there I think that's that's really key and so I I do see that this provides the city a really important service and that this is worthy of our support and just speaking to you know what our seven thousand dollars plus insurance gave to us four years ago at least six months of people going in and and using there was a pool table there were game consoles there was a real community and our high schoolers including my son would go in and they would be you know they they would lead kind of the the feel of the place right that and there was always an adult on the premises there just to make sure that you know it was just a you know it's healthy activity going on there but it's a way for our young people to really take on leadership positions as well so just wanted to say it's worthy of our support okay jesse um thank you so because this is kind of the first well the first meeting the first idea like this that's coming through with me and dr child it's so lovely to put a face to your name thanks for the trading emails the last week or so from a kind of policy and implementation perspective council runs policy staff runs implementation what I would recommend if the council wants to direct staff to move forward with this are a couple of things one vote to do that and we will bring you back a recommendation of where we could get the funding to allocate to dr child's and how and a proposal for what that might look like whether it's a direct allocation or a mini grant or something like that to we have done a bit of research on insurance and our current insurance carrier won't let us just ensure another organization's space so if that is a direct ask I would say we should just build that into the funding request so the dollars could pay for it but it would be a contract through the nonprofit um three you know I think that we we as the city and I know Holly's still on I think Holly's still on the call really hear what you're saying dr child's about a special uh you know a separate space that is responsive to um the youth's kind of vision of what they how they want to spend time um we also always aspire to ensuring that our programming is responsive to what kids are interested in so we would love to have a reciprocal conversation as well about how um not through your nonprofit but through our programming how we can best align our offerings to what folks might be interested in um and then finally just so the council knows um Essex chips and Winooski partnership for prevention I think are uh slightly aligned to the vision that you have I've worked with I'm very familiar with those organizations and they're great partners for the municipal government especially as kind of external nonprofits advising municipal government and if this was stood up I would certainly welcome that um so those are my thoughts so if the council wants to move forward um and direct staff to come back with a with a financial recommendation we would be happy to do that at a future meeting thanks okay we do have one question um in the chat box um from Sharon O'Neill do you have a youth panel to inform this is that part of the design dr child's a youth panel no not yet no because I have to at least get something in place or a possibility but I've known a lot of parents and youth also so that wouldn't be hard to do okay all right that sounds like that might be helpful matt did you did you want to I just wanted to say that uh first of all dr this is good work this is important work and it in whatever small monetary amount that the city or individuals in the community can provide we all know that it's the volunteers that make this thing happen um so and I agree with the jesse's recommendation is this a policy we support it's a policy I support and I would urge her to come back with some ideas on how we can support it further okay holly did you want to make a comment since you showed your face your pretty face oh well wait thank you my goodness I'll turn the camera on more often uh well mostly I had connection issues with my laptop so I want to make sure everyone knew I was still here um you know I think there's a lot of great opportunity um you know many hands make light work and we always are looking for infusing you know different programming and certainly the high school and middle school group is a hard one to crack into especially with so many school offerings but there certainly are some gaps um and you know I welcome further conversation to kind of get heads around the table to figure out who's doing what already there are some great uh uh nutritional programs through common routes that happen at the middle school I think those could be extended to the high school as well so I think there's opportunities for all of us to you know to really celebrate and provide opportunity uh for this population together and and certainly welcome being part of that conversation and uh being part of some brainstorming and some solutions and we've got great marketing so anybody is you know we're happy to partner um and reach the people and and get the message out thank you okay another comment um from Sharon O'Neill she suggests being in touch with the Vermont youth development program to include at-risk youth so that might that's another um contact for you Dr. Child the Vermont youth development program and then Ariel did you want to make a comment you turn your hi yes I'm just wondering if we can do more for Dr. Child than just a one shot payment of you know eight thousand dollars and I would say that um programmatically what a lot of non-profit space is sustainability and if we can help Dr. Child find not just a temporary home for the program but a permanent home for the program um that we would actually be going you know forth in a much more sustainable way for the community for the youth that she's trying to work with thank you thank you I don't you know disagree that a permanent home is is the goal and it's how you get there that you know it sounds like people are supportive um and I'll jump in here too and and and Dr. Child stop me if I'm saying too much but Dr. Child shared that the Rotary Club is working with her as well and I learned from the CHIPS program in Essex that the Rotary Club in Essex is also a main partner in in that teen center so it takes many hands just like Holly said it takes many hands to make for light work and and there are definitely many hands including at the state level like Sharon noted there's Vermont after school which has tremendous resources so that I mean Dr. Child knows better but there's just a lot that is available to to make this happen okay so is there consensus um that we would like to um ask Jesse to pull up pull together a funding source for the city um and I don't know I mean maybe it's I don't know what the dollar figure should be but it would include the cost of a non-profit to buy the insurance and I don't know maybe there's something that the mall has that works for you know kind of an umbrella thing I don't know I recall that for for the chillout center was $1,500 but that was four years ago so yeah but it was in my memory $1,500 all right well um Jesse can do that that homework but is that something that the council is supportive of yes okay so um we'll look forward to what you come up with Jesse as will Dr. Childs I'm sure thank you very much for coming forward with this and um you know I applaud your work you know I read your whole your business plan and you have good rules and good you know good framework and I support I thought that the different categories of age groups and their needs was spot on so thank you very much you're welcome thank you thank you okay thank you for the direction council all right item 11 convene is the liquor control commission to consider the old post that wants I move to the liquor commission so motion to become a liquor control all in favor aye aye I only heard two ayes aye okay we have a four okay we got a majority now okay so we are now the liquor control commission and the only thing I didn't notice on the um information from the old post were the hours do you know the hours I looked at it and it said you know 10 10 p.m 12 p.m to 10 p.m oh okay I missed it then okay yeah sorry Sunday through Saturdays 12 to 10 yes and it's a temporary stage structure outside or inside it's outside outdoor outdoor okay I did I did hear some concern from residents about about ambient noise so I just oh okay we have two residents on on board to talk about this where exactly is the old post I can't bring turn my eyes on the old Freddy O's pardon me the old Freddy O's by the new right okay right and there's an apartment building right nearer isn't there yeah the brown apartment building okay so Almy or Sharon would one of you want to speak to this you have some concerns you have to okay Almy you're sure yeah I'll I'll be happy to go first um so I live in the red rocks condos which as I'm sure you're aware is Burlington not south Burlington um but I am concerned about um this permit for concerts I um can hear the traffic on Shelburne road very easily in my house even with windows closed so I know I'm going to be able to hear these concerts um um I understand the need for a business to be flexible with um being able to you know schedule events and whatnot but the prospect of multiple concerts per week um during the time of year when I and many other neighbors in the area enjoy being outdoors and in my yard on my deck um even indoors with my windows open is is very anxiety producing and disturbing especially for those of us like myself who go to bed early like right now is past my bedtime so I go to bed well before 10 p.m and the concert noise will absolutely disrupt my sleep and my ability to enjoy some peaceful time after work at my at my house um I'm also concerned about that that apartment building across the street very close to across from you know the Hannaford driveway from the venue and I wonder who's looking out for their interests um so I would like to urge the board to consider placing some reasonable limits on um on this permit such as concerts uh perhaps on uh Friday Saturday and Sunday only or perhaps meeting the number of concerts per week that are allowed thank you for letting me speak and that's uh that's all safe for now okay thank you um Sharon do you want to speak? I would thanks so much um and I just want to recognize that this is like well beyond my expiration date for alertness for a day um so I live in the Arthur Court neighborhood and I'm representing myself and my neighbors so Arthur Court is the small cul-de-sac neighborhood just before the One Lane Bridge and even before I became aware of this being on the South Burlington um the city council agenda I know that like I take my dog for a walk at night um for bedtime and I often before I was aware of what was happening I wondered what was going on where this music was coming from um so I do have concerns about the outdoor venue um from my home I can hear music this is an area I moved here six years ago because it was a generally quiet area from which was very much like where I moved from Fairfax um and I can hear the music uh and I know it says 10 o'clock but I really feel like it's past 10 o'clock sometimes um and I so I have concerned about the wide uh span of the approval for this uh application that it's uh seven times a week from noon until 10 p.m that's a lot for an area that historically I mean historically a long period of time has been quiet after work hours and when I say that I mean after traditional work hours meaning you know five six o'clock p.m I'm also very concerned that the humane society um resides just above this and so this is a um sort of an amphitheater situation where even if you put up sound barriers because the venue is lower than the other pieces like unless you have sound barriers that are so high like it's not going to impact the humane society or the surrounding neighborhoods which I have all already experienced this so I just I'm curious who's going to monitor this and I'm also concerned that there is a apartment complex very close by that is a low income um apartment complex which we are very much in need of in Vermont and in Burlington and I just I feel concerned that this was approved with very little notice very little explanation and very little concern to the impact of the surrounding neighborhoods and even though we are a city I feel like this part of the city is really a neighborhood like we know our neighbors we interact with our neighbors we recognize them and this is having huge impact and I am not really sure how this got under the radar especially since South Burlington has also been involved with um trying to mitigate the impact of Burton in higher ground on the neighborhood I'm not really sure how one is a concern well Sean this hasn't been approved yet that's what this meeting tonight is about okay I misunderstood because I hear yeah so that's why we're having this conversation like it may not have been compared but I have heard the music for weeks now there have been concerts already Helen I've received questions from a queen city park residents when did this get approved and I said I don't I haven't seen it on the council right and they were already holding concerts prior to tonight okay Matt thank you again I appreciate that that was the question thank you Megan thank you um but that thought maybe Andrew could address what what is the what's the history here to catch me up I've only seen the stage from the road I haven't actually heard anything because I'm not in that neighborhood but we're knowing that they had concerts what what do we know from from your old role yeah so I drove by this just this last weekend and it does look like it's been newly constructed I know both our fire marshal and our electrical inspection inspector have been out and sort of given this the approval so I don't I'm not aware of any outdoor concerts that have occurred that have been permitted um this is also an amendment to a current liquor license entered an entertainment license my best guess is that this uh it was approved for indoor use and this is the application for outdoor use um and and so it's essentially an amendment to that original uh permit so I think the question was yeah I can't actually remember that we awarded them allowed them to have an outdoor patio for serving alcohol but I don't recall that it was also a music venue so I I I think perhaps this is morphed but was this a COVID accommodation do you know Andrew or Jesse that's a good question that Jesse I don't know if I don't know if it was a COVID accommodation I think that we do want to separate two different approval processes I think they have received the building approval to build the structure which is a different thing than the than the entertainment permit to have live music outside that's what you're considering tonight so it's on the risk is on them to build a structure if it's built within within building and zoning permits how they will use it in the future that's what you get to determine tonight to my knowledge that today was the first time I'd heard that it was operational and I haven't heard from public safety that it was being used as that they have received reports that there was outdoor music happening so clearly something was going on that that we did not know about and so tonight the question for a council is how do you want to move forward with the entertainment portion they could you know they can have the structure they want but what they do with it is is before you tonight man can I just to further clarify because it's I've been looking at the this is this is not connected to their ability to serve alcohol inside or outside this is this is strictly they realize that they can't just get a permit from from building permit they need permission in order to actually hold a concert and and whether they had or not in the past that's for for for the staff to work out enforcement but this is not connected to their ability to operate as a bar this is their their ability to offer music outdoors correct so we need we need to yeah well I wouldn't and I wouldn't support passing it tonight I think we need to get to the bottom of this and find out either have chief Burke or whoever is the right department look into what's been happening and clarify with the owners and then consider I mean seven if they still would like to have music outside then you know very much limited you know maybe Saturday and Sunday or Friday and Saturday and that's that's when you can have music for something to that with a window I mean yeah it's seven days a week from 12 noon until 10 p.m. I mean every night yeah no I wouldn't support that anyway but yeah all right so we will come oh sorry the answer go ahead you know I just wanted to clarify that yeah this does fall under the city's entertainment ordinance specifically and there are criteria approval standards in that in the ordinance as well as possible conditions that council can place on it so we'll come back with with further comments on those two criteria so council does have a fair amount of discretion in this instance but but but is this the right process Andrew this is the right process do you go do as a liquor control board not through any other permitting process I just want to make sure we're on the right path of figuring this out yeah so historically this is the this is the process it's it's been on I think we'll and we've sort of just you know I made the determination to keep that this time but when we go back you know we'll make sure that our that our teas are done to make sure the property of proper authority is making this call um Almy thank you um I just wondered if there is some way for perhaps Sharon and I to be notified when this will be on your agenda again because obviously I I missed being aware of of this earlier in the process um not being you know not being attuned to uh South Burlington meetings so much all right you live in Burlington can we uh Jesse I mean I um you and I are connected now via email right did you get my email earlier okay um so if you could share with me Sharon's email I would be happy to um let you know when this is coming back to the council I anticipate that that will be on July 19th but I can confirm that as we get closer to the date okay thank you I appreciate that even though I'm Burlington literally when I walk across the street I'm in South Burlington so that's how close I am thank you right well I appreciate there's that whole apartment complex that will certainly be and I know there's children who live there too so okay so the we chose to deny this for the moment and um we have no further business as a liquor control board correct that this is this was the only issue all right so a motion to come out of our liquor control okay the move to second second okay all in favor I okay good enough is there any other oh we've reports from counselors on committee assignments any reports anyone no did you have any updates on the airport Helen well the I wasn't informed today that um Jean Richards has been put on administrative leave um due to a personnel issue so that's all I know so that's and we haven't had a meeting lately so that's that's all I know oh but I do have some good news I guess if you like to fly to either Dallas or Miami American Airlines is adding direct flights in the fall to both Miami and Dallas so that's good I mean sort of an expansion of the opportunities is the acting director yeah so if you had questions if you mean it's a personnel issue so you're not going to get any more details but that's that's where it is and I believe that the work on Chamberlain's HVAC system a Chamberlain schools HVAC system has begun so that yeah forward right that's what um you know yeah I forgot to note that Jesse and Kevin and I met with Bridget and David on the leadership thing and he did mention that so okay uh is there any further business they don't even have a topic for that so there can be no further business we're done so motion to adjourn so moved second second all in favor I okay sorry that your first meeting was a little bit longer than you thought but I think we had some good conversations and clearly I need to get stuff clear at the time estimating it is always hard yeah well we'll continue to work on that all right so um just so you know I will not be um at the meeting on the 19th so Megan will chair that and um I says she will also be developing the agenda Jesse because I'll be you know I'm with my family that week in the phone week so

Hello everybody and welcome back to my channel I'm going to show you quick now what we got on the bench today And this is a little kit you can buy off eBay. This is based around an LM 1875 chip Which is not a bad little chip really when you consider the size of it and they consider There are a few components that you need to make this work in a relatively well fashion So what we got today, then is we got it hooked up and we've got our input coming in this does take a negative and A positive supply meaning that we got a zero in the middle and we're swinging negative and swinging positive on the rails there And at the moment I've set mine up to 17 volts The reason why I've done it 17 volts is because if you have a 12 volt transformer, which gives you 12 zero 12 You can run this then on that or if you have another transformer that will quite happily give you a 25 volts Either side, which is what they sort of recommend You can go to 60 but setup doesn't really like it You can actually go to 30 volts aside in the specs. We're going to see it's 25 25 now Let me just show you the specs there Let me just bring this across here, and you'll see here what we got is up to 30 watts output power Low distortion naught point zero point zero one five one kilo it's 20 watts Wide power bandwidth 70 kilo and we can see the wide supply range here We are 16 volts to 40 volts high current capability four amps. So It's like it says it's a 20 watt audio Power amplifier on one channel now if we were to look at the Screen quick just very briefly you're gonna see where I've been playing around with this and you can see there's a bunch of numbers up There, but if we're gonna do it again now from the start and start running the screen I can just back that off one time. I'm gonna use my little music player here. This is a It's a high be high res thing. It's got pretty pretty low distortion rate on it I'll put the thing up very quick on the screen there All right, and yeah pause take a peek at that if you wish But it's a pretty pretty low distortion and I'm using actually here these one kilohertz With a naught point one reference on it and this is from John audio techs channel Which is very good of him to make these available for us And I'm now gonna put the power supply on and run this oscilloscope So let's put on we've got two channels going over there as you can see And I'm now gonna click go on the scope And you're gonna see that we've not really got a great deal going on there Because we don't have any real volume on here, and I'm actually gonna press play as well So if I press play there You see a little bit noise coming there. I'm gonna go and start going up on this Volume all the way up to where I see about clip We will see it as it gets clipping it gets quite nasty quite quickly and there we go Okay, I'm slightly round on the top. So I'm gonna just back that off I'm just gonna back that down like that and we can see here We look across here and we put our measurements on we can see we got a this is our four and a half This is the naught point one percent, and we're down at minus sixty four point nine Let's just say sixty five on that. This is a three kilohertz and We are at minus seventy one And this is a second secondary two kilohertz Even harmonic there, and we're at minus seventy three and this of course is our is our main One kilohertz side now that's coming in at minus four point two six Seven six four DB whole bunch of stuff there, but as you can see like this is all very very low minus 90s minus hundred All right, and that's at That voltage now you can see over here. It says eight point eight volts This is on the AC RMS. So if I just grab hold of the calculator I'm gonna bring that into view and we go eight point eight And I'm gonna square that and I'm gonna divide it by the atome with this time using as a load And that gives us nine point six eight watts And that's using that would be using a 12 volt AC Transformer and then once you rectified it, you know time that 12 volts by a point four one four And you get yourself pretty much just under the 17 volts Okay, so that's what we get with our 17 volts. So let's just Start up in the power and I'm just gonna turn this down like what I do that This is on a loop. So it's just looping round and round around I'm just gonna turn that voltage down while I turn this voltage up on here So, oh, let me get it to a reasonable rate of knots So we can go to 18 20 21 25. Okay, that's 27. So it reckons 25 All right, so we got that there and we can see up on the screen there that we're doing okay So we just start taking that up and you can see already Our fundamental We got our fundamental of course here and we've got that Provided by us by John I'm gonna keep going up there Till we get to where we're clipping and that we can see a bunch of distortion coming through All right, I've got that yet. Let me just adjust this Over here. I'm just gonna go down and slightly and adjust this to If I put it to five on you might want to stick that in the middle somewhere We start going up here So we've got a five on and I'm gonna keep going up we're in 90 now and now we're clipping so my little We're on 90 now On here And as we can see from here if we start using our cursor is when it's gone free Come back here cursor We can see here. We've got a minus 61 db on that We got a little bit either side with minus 83 minus 72 Minus 68 and this is the naught point one If I were just to click down off that just a couple of times Bring that down to more suitable back down to where we were before was 83. I think it was We'd see then we got minus 64 minus 74 Minus 73 there And we would be Minus four point two five again if I take that up Just trying to get as close as I can to the zero point Which is not really I don't know if that is because it's there already I Think I might already be on it Can't seem to Know the minus two sorry minus minus two minus one Minus naught seven There we go, so I've got that on minus point two and there we got minus sixty there for our naught point zero point zero one Pilot and Minus sixty nine there and a minus sixty seven there, so you're not even gonna hear these anyway So you can see you can see quite further down here when it comes to looking for Distortion you can see over to the side here. We've got thirteen Thirteen point three, okay, so we'll go with that And on the power supply there it looks like we can actually pull out Just trying to see if there's much difference between that and the third harmonic there isn't And this is still the difference here We could actually put this on this and take this from a 4.5 and drop this down onto here and we got a difference of 7.97 DB Between those two and that's our secondary harmonic we got a difference of 9.5 DB Between the peak of our thunder but for the peak of our pilot and our third harmonic there which Yep, you're on a 5.7 DB there just sat on the top 7.6 by sorry sat on the top Okay So 13.3 is what we're gonna use. I'm now just gonna Stop this for a moment Because that's one of the nice things I do like about this is you can stop that you can turn off the power to things and Still take your calculations Okay, so I'm just gonna put that down And we got 13.3. So let's bring back in our Calculator We sure look at this so we can see the first one there with 8.8 squared it divided by the eight times We've got 9.68 watts and now we've got 13 0.3 squared divided by our eight times and that gives us 22 point 111 25 Watts of power which is you know within spec That is within spec now very quickly. We're going to jump across to the other way of measuring this And that's using the audio analysing suite Okay, guys, we've got the audio analysing suite happening We're gonna look for a THD and we're gonna be going from the range of 10 hertz 30 kilo hertz And we are gonna be looking Let's say at our 10 watts to start off with just very quickly then we'll go up to the to the next number Okay, so let's just power this back on again So 25 watts there Oh made a slight boo-boo. Let's just slow this down a little bit Gotta do something else before we can do this Okay, so we got a slight little setup change and now we're using the the waveform generator from the analog discovery to We're still using the same scope lead, of course We're gonna turn on the power Okay, and now we are going to run We're going from 10 to 30 kilo hertz 10 hertz 30 kilo hertz Steps 50 average is one. We just leave on there. We're doing the THD We're just gonna run that at 10 watts Which is our level at 10 watts here as you can see and you can see the power going up on the power supply there So it shows it does the lower The lower frequency So now we're below the zero point one zero zero point zero six zero point zero five zero point zero four It's nice. We're sticking up that tracking around there zero point zero five And on the data sheet it actually says zero point zero one But that's at 20 watts, I believe Which is what we're gonna do next. I just wanted to look at it what it's gonna be like on the 10 watts So let's have a little look over this just see what was happening there. We're at 13 hertz So we go to zero point one and here's our 20 kilo hertz pretty much It's just not telling us that at the end, but that is a 20 kilo line. You can see that ring down here as well Just over So, you know, it sort of stays on track there Okay, now what I'm gonna do now is I'm just gonna bump that up to 20 That's now run 20 watts eight times THD again, and we're gonna run that straight away I'm gonna do a quick little hand check on the dummy load. That's fine That would be okay You can see what the current it draws as it's pulling those lower frequencies Now we're at 16 Hertz now we're at 20 Hertz And we're at 0.1 So I should say 0.0 45 Hertz 0.04 0.05, 0.04 As we go up that, it's going across 0.05 It's looking at 0.05, which is quite nice Nice bit of linearity That's how you say it, 0.04 0.05, 0.08 I went up to 0.2 there Now we jump across there and you can see that was a little bit a bit Ringy at the end, but we were up into a 10% distortion And we are at 21 Kilohertz, which is we want to be down Below that as the highest we can go to really on this is 20 That's what it sort of gives us our Data sheet for So let's have a little look at the Frequency response going across that And if I put this around about I don't know three line level 300 millivolts RMS Let's have a little look at what that is Just channel one again Coming from the low frequencies of course It's building up and now we're on 20 hertz Which is where we're calculating from And it seems to be Pretty bang on All the way through though So let's go to our 20 hertz That's where we finish off at 20 hertz here I've just done the 21 hertz And that's good enough That's nice That's pretty much a nice flat response Couldn't really ask for Better end up particularly Let's just do a Power So we're going to go from 1 watt To 100 watts And just see where we get to Now I This is only good up to 20 watts We'll see where we get to anyway on this We see before clipping we get to 22 watts When we measure it against the oscilloscope And using the FFT So it'll be interesting to see where we get to here So we're now Coming up to 5 watts We're on 5 watts now This is the 10 watt line in the middle here And we are at 0.05 Now we're coming up to 17 watts 19 watts 20 watts 21 watts 25 watts Alright Well we've managed to get then Let's just We're looking at it to the 0.1 percent 0.1 percent That's 26 watts That's more than What we said we're going to be having And if we look at where it gets to 20 watts Which is what it's really rated for We're at 0. 0.06 But still even here it still does pretty well Until we get to there I'm not even really looking at this We just put that thing in there It does pretty good Alright So let's get rid of that for the minute What does this thing sound like? I can only give you the sound out of A speaker Which starts I think it's like 72 hertz So it's response is not very good at all But I can tell you I mean it's going to sound clear It's going to sound Decent as you can see We'll just put that back for a second A bit premature there As we can see across the frequency response We can see that you know from the low level From those 20 hertz Even down here 14 hertz So we're running it from 10 hertz here There's not a great deal of change 25.560b to 27 So 1.5 dB difference between here and here It does use a bit more power there of course But if you were running this for me If you were going to set yourself up with a little bench Or desktop amplifier One of these would be ideal Little D class thing Ideal to make sure you give it good enough heat sink That's warm, it's not terribly hot And I think you can leave your hand on that That dummy load is going to be a lot hotter But yeah this would work alright Two of these Set up like this Personally I would get rid of the caps that are on here I'd get rid of the little ceramic things that are down here Don't like ceramic caps on these things I prefer to have films on there Get rid of these, put some decent on Because these are just Chong X Which you know you can buy like bags and bags of them for a dollar So they're as cheap as you like caps And these are tantalum things Yeah, no But I've got another one of these boards I'm going to build it up I'm going to put some film capacitors in Electrolytics and we'll see How it does with that They don't expect to see much difference But I expect for sound quality There might be someone there and we'll be able to do it It becomes Paris and sort of The best mic I've got for picking up stuff Is this road one that I'm wearing And that's what we can try and use And just see what that's like But this video's got too long So I hope you enjoyed that And I will catch you in the next one


So, good morning. I just came to see Dr. Kambwili here in this area. It's really far where they have brought him. It's a quiet place, Nimumpanga. Of course there are houses, you know, there is development that has been going on. But it is really, really far where they brought him. He's in the cells. I've already spoken to him. He's in high spirit, he's okay. Of course. I mean, he's just wondering why he's here. Looking at the charge that they have given him. Look, the charge that they have given him is an law for assembly. An law for assembly is a misdemeanor. A misdemeanor meaning it is not criminal. It is a lower charge, which he is most of all a criminal.岡.

Okay. Good morning, everyone. Welcome to our class, BC 106 on Interpreting Scripture. Let's pray and then I get started. Father, we thank You for this day. Thank You that we could be here in class and those online that we could take some time to study, to learn, to understand. Father, we pray that the Holy Spirit will open our hearts and minds and that we will understand, we will grasp and that these truths will be written in our hearts and in our minds and maybe be able to use them as we minister to people. We thank You Father in Jesus' name. Amen. All right. So just a quick update. I have shared the course notes for the entire course with the class, with those of you in person as well as those of you online. So you could make use of those notes, fine thing. And I made some changes, some corrections here and there based on our discussion. So you could use the final notes for the assessment that will be given. So we are now in our last section where we are talking about difficult topics. We started this last week just going through some topics that may people normally ask these questions. So I'm just addressing them. If you have any other questions or topics you could feel free to ask. So we've got a few more things to cover. I will go through it today and we may be able to cover everything today. We'll see how it goes. But we should be able to finish, I think. So if people ask us the question, is Jesus God? We can give a response to that. I'm in chapter 15 in your notes. Understanding the Trinity and the Incarnation, what are the different titles for Jesus Christ mean, especially when it talks about the first begotten, first born, so on. We explained that, then seemingly contradictory accounts in the Gospels. We looked at a few and we showed how to respond to that. Difficult statements. This is page 39. Difficult statements. Who has the greatest sin? Pilate or Judas? Forgiving people sins. What did Jesus mean? Three days and three nights. There are two possible explanations for it. The high Sabbath seems most likely because John mentions that in John 19 and verse 31. And then we also looked, okay, so that's where we came. We came up to 1 Corinthians 13. How does it matter for today? And so we quickly explained that. You will see that again. You can see some of these again in different courses in your second year and also in your third year. Some of these things will come up again. So we also did, can women be in five-fold ministry based on Ephesians 4.8 and 11. 8 to 11, we explained that. The Greek word for man is anthropos, which is gender-neutral, refers to people. So that's where we covered last week. Okay. All with me, Sopha. We'll go forward. Who's missing? Everyone's here. Okay. All right. Two people. So another common question is, can women teach the word of God? Right. And there are two main passages that people use to raise objection to allowing women to teach the word of God. So we'll address both. And I'll just quickly give a summary of this. Okay. And you can, of course, look into the scriptures. So first of all, you know, we say in order to understand anything in the Bible, we must look at the whole Bible on that subject. I don't take one passage in isolation. So when you look at the general context of scripture, we understand God's government. That means government is a structure through which God releases the flow of authority. Right. So that's God's government, a structure through which he releases his authority and governmental authority to keep things in order. So, for example, we see in the Bible, in the family, the husband is given that headship, meaning God is saying, you are responsible. Right. It doesn't mean the husband is better than the wife or the husband is better than the children. No, they're all people in the eyes of God. We're all saved by grace. Right. But in the family, the headship or the responsibility is given to the husband. So that is one that is God's government structure in the local church. It will be the spiritual leader. They are given or he or the spiritual leader is given responsibility, authority, God's government flows through that. So we understand that. But so we keep that understanding. We're not tearing that down. But in addition to that, we know in both the Old and New Testament, God has used men and women. It is never used women.  Examples, we see Deborah, we see Esther, we see Ruth, we see Hilda, the prophetess, we see Miriam, the prophetess. So we see even in the Old Testament, many names, women who were used in ministry and serving God. You come into the New Testament starting from the Gospels, you see Anna, the prophetess. And then you see the daughters of Philip. They were women who prophesied. You see Paul, he had people who served alongside him.  But also very notably, the first person he speaks to after his resurrection is Mary Magdalene.  It is so impressive that he spoke to a lady and said, you go. He didn't speak to John or Peter or one of them. It's significant that he spoke to a woman and said, you go and tell my disciples. So God has, you don't find in the Bible that God puts women down or he says, I cannot use you. You don't find that in the overall scripture. So that's the second point. And we also see number three that in the scripture, there is equal standing before God. So Galatians 3 28 says that in Christ, there is neither male nor female. There is neither Greek, Jew nor Greek. That means in Christ, Galatians 3 28 point number three, in Christ, they're equal. God doesn't treat us differently. We equal in Christ. First Peter 3 7 says we are joint as together. And number four, we also see that when there is the distribution of spiritual gifts, there is no distinction. The Holy Spirit gives gifts only to men. He doesn't say that. He says he distributes to everyone, every believer, every child of God. And it doesn't say he gives only gifts to men. Doesn't say that. So with that background, having understood that there is government, which means there is order, responsibility. But aside from the government order, in every other way, there is equality of male and female. So example, like we said, in the family or in the church, there is headship. Somebody is responsible, but the people are equal in the sight of God. Only in terms of responsibility, there is order, there is structure. But in terms of who we are to God and before God, there's equality. We are equal. So then if you go to 1 Corinthians chapter 14, verses 34 and 35, Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 14 verse 34 and 35, he says, Let the women keep silent in the church. And if they have any questions, let them ask their husbands at home. But it is not good for a woman to speak in church. So people use that 1 Corinthians chapter 14. You can look at it and verses 34 and 35. And you know, so Paul says, let the women keep silent in church. Does that mean a woman can never teach the word of God? She is not speaking church. She should be silent, sit silently and listen. What's he trying to say? Well, we understand from 1 Corinthians and 2 Corinthians that Paul was addressing certain problems in the Corinthian church. Various problems. You can see, and I've shown that in the notes page 42, bottom of page 42. He was addressing division, immorality, marriage, food offered to idols, questions about his apostleship and how to take part in the Lord's table and so on. So he's addressing many things. So when he comes to 1 Corinthians 14, he's addressing the expression of spiritual gifts. And while he's talking all that, he says, let the women keep silent in church. If they have any questions, let them ask their husbands at home. So some of the things we can say is this. First of all, we see that the phrase keep silent is not used only for women. There are three times in 1 Corinthians 14 that he says keep silent. One, when speaking in tongues, he uses the words keep silent. In what context? If you're giving a message to the church and there is no interpreter, then keep silent. So when he says keep silent, doesn't mean stop speaking in tongues. No, he means when you're giving a message, if there is no interpreter, then you keep silent. Don't try to speak a message to the church in tongues if there is no interpreter because it's not helping anybody. Second time he says keep silent is because when the people are prophesying, when one person finishes prophesying, then you keep silent so that you give chance to the next person. That's the second time he uses the phrase keep silent in 1 Corinthians 14. You all understanding? You're with me? Yes? Okay. So that's in 1 Corinthians, look at verse 28, 1 Corinthians 14, 28. If there is no interpreter, keep silent. Verse 29, if two or three prophets speak verse 30, let the first keep silent. That means if another person starts prophesying, first person keeps silent. So when he says keep silent, he's not saying don't talk, don't never prophesy. What he's saying is you do it in proper order, do it properly. So now when he talks about verse 34, women keep silent. It's not that women can never speak in church. It just means keep silent so that everything is done properly in order. It's the same part that is being communicated. It's the same idea, same reasoning. That is we want things to be done in order. That's why you keep silent. That's the first thing.  He's only talking to married women. How can we say that? Because he says verse 34, you keep silent. And then if verse 35, if you want to learn, you go ask your husbands at home.  So he's giving some instruction to married women, saying if you have a question, then don't, while the preacher is preaching, you have a doubt. Don't start talking to your husband in the church. So example, right here, suppose I am explaining something and let's say Prince doesn't understand, then he, hey Bimel, what does that mean? Then it will disturb the whole class. The Bimel is explaining, they're having their own conversation. Example, and then here the lecturer is trying to explain. And if like that, three or four people are having conversation, it will disrupt everything. You're getting the idea. So that's what he's saying, don't do. So in the church, if you don't understand something, don't disturb and talk to your husband and start having a conversation. Now in those days, men used to sit on one side, ladies on the other side. So imagine one lady shouting to her husband, hey, what did he mean? Her husband is shouting back. He meant this, he didn't mean that. Full, full, shouting will go on across, preacher is trying to preach. It will be chaos, it will be chaos.  That's all he's saying. So we cannot use 1 Corinthians 14, 34 and 35 to mean that the woman cannot preach and teach the Word of God. That's not what he's meaning. He's saying, don't talk in between because it will disturb the order of what's happening.  Okay. Then the next passage that is often used, which is a little bit more difficult passage, but it's easy to explain. 1 Timothy 2, verse 8 to 15. Many people use this passage to say that a woman cannot teach and she must not be in leadership and so on and so forth. But let's look at it closely. 1 Timothy 2. 1 Timothy 2 is a passage that is written to all believers and it is not written exclusively about a church setting. It is written about how believers should live. For example, 1 Corinthians 14 was written about how a church service or a church gathering should be conducted.  You do like this. Don't give a message in tongues if nobody's there to interpret. If there are three or four people want to prophesy, you take turns. First you keep, first person, when he finishes, keep silent. Next person can start. So 1 Corinthians 14 is about how to conduct a church gathering. 1 Timothy 2 is not about that. It's not about how to conduct a church gathering. It's about how to live your life every day. So that is the difference. You must understand the difference. You should mix it up. He's writing to believers. This is how believers should live. So if you look at 1 Corinthians 1 Timothy 2, he's talking about the conduct of men and women anywhere and everywhere, not just inside church. This is how you should conduct this. And so he starts by saying, you know, verses 2 to 7, the emphasis is on, hey, pray for all your leaders. Pray for those who are in authority. Pray for them. Pray that we will be lived peacefully. You can pray that. You can pray at home. You can pray anywhere, but pray for your leaders. That God, that we will all live peacefully because God wants everybody to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy chapter 2, 1 to 7. Then verse 8, he says, men, you lift hands up and pray everywhere, anywhere, verse 8, without anger and doubting.  Where? He's saying pray everywhere. So you pray in the restaurant. You pray when you're outside. Pray everywhere. Not only, so you see the context is not just in church.  Lift up holy hands to God. Don't have anger. Don't have any doubt in your heart. Pray like that. Okay. So he's telling men how to pray anywhere. Then verse 9, he says, women, here's how to behave yourself, right? Here's how you carry yourself with modesty. You dress soberly and don't be, you know, don't withstand.  So women, you know, you focus on godliness with good works. So men, everywhere you pray. So the context is everywhere. So this is how you behave everywhere. Right. And he's not just in verses 8, verse 8, 9, 10, and then continues to verse 11. At that time, he's talking to general men, women. He's not just talking to married men or married women, just men, women, anyone. Then verse 11, let women learn in silence with all submission. Let a woman learn in submission. For I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. For Adam was formed first, then he. And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived fell into transgression. Nevertheless, she will be saved in childbearing if they learn in faith, love, holiness and self-control. So after giving verses 8 to 10, then verse 11, he changes subject. He says, woman, I want you to walk in submission and don't, I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, but to be in silence. And then he's comparing that to Adam and Eve. And then he goes on to talk about childbearing. So he's speaking to men in general, women in general. Then he's changing and he's bringing Adam and Eve and childbearing. That means there is a change in context because Adam and Eve were husband and wife. Childbearing happens within the context of marriage, the husband wife, you're understanding?  No, the context has changed in verse 11. The context is now, woman, I want you to learn in silence with all submission and don't try to teach and don't try to take authority. What is the context? Adam and Eve, childbearing, that is marriage. And this is consistent, this is consistent with other writings of the Apostle Paul because in Ephesians 5, there also he will say, woman of the wife must be in submission to her own husband. This is consistent. Wife must be in submission to her own husband. So when we say from verse 11 onwards, verse 11 onwards, he's specifically talking about husband-wife relationship. Why? Because he's going on to talk about Adam and Eve and childbearing. Childbearing, not any woman having child. No, it is only in the context of husband-wife. So in the context of a husband and wife, so 1st Timothy 2, 11, 2, 15 must be interpreted in the context of husband-wife relationship and this is consistent with other passages like Ephesians 5 and Colossians and 1st Corinthians where 1st Corinthians 11, where he's talking very clear that the wife you be in submission to your husband because God has put him as the head, headship has been given to him. So in that context, don't try to teach your husband and don't try to take his authority.  No? Yes or no? So this, don't try to teach and don't try to have authority over the man, which is verse 12, is in the context of Adam and Eve, husband and wife relationship. It is not for every person in the church, every man, every woman. He's not talking about every man, every woman. That is verses 8 to 10, every man, every woman. General, verse 11 to 15, the context is Adam and Eve, husband-wife, child-bearing, that's a marriage context.  So I cannot take verse 12 and apply to every woman. No, no, no. It is in the Adam and Eve context. It is in the child-bearing context, meaning a marriage relationship context. And that is consistent with the rest of scripture. Other writings of the Apostle Paul.  So can a woman teach? Yes, because God has used women, Old Testament and New Testament in various ways to proclaim his message, either as prophetesses or other ways. And he has never prevented women from being in leadership exercising gifts, serving him or serving his kingdom. He's never stopped them. So 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2, these two passages can be understood clearly if you look at them, that they're not preventing women from serving God. It has a context. The context is God's authority structure in the family or in the local church. Keep everything in order. That's it.  Okay, let me just check online. If there are any questions from our students online. Did you all ask online students? Was it clear? Any questions on that? 1 Corinthians 14 and 1 Timothy 2. Is it crystal clear? I hope so. Okay. Fine. So let's move forward. I will try to cover other topics. So the next thing is about head covering. And again, there's one passage for 1 Corinthians 11 verses 1 to 16. And the head covering and headship, like I explained, we understand God's government. 1 Corinthians 11. 1 to 16. All right. So there is God's government or God's authority structure. And in God's authority structure, if you look at verse 3, it says the head of the woman is the man. The head of Christ is God. Now think about those two statements. Head of woman is man. Head of Christ is God. But is Christ equal with God? Yes. Christ is God. Christ by very nature is God. He is co-equal with the Father and the Son. He's not any lesser than the Father or the Son. But why does this verse say head of Christ is God? Because in His incarnation, when He walked on the earth, He walked in complete submission to the Father. So in that sense, head of Christ is God. Doesn't mean Christ is less than God. There is a context to verse 3. Same way, when it says head of woman is man, it doesn't mean woman is less than man. No. The context is in a marriage relationship, in the family. The wife walks in submission to her husband. Because God has made the husband responsible for the family. He's a leader. God will hold him responsible. So in the government of God, in the authority structure, in the flow of responsibility, man will be the first person to be held responsible. In that sense, the head of the woman is the man. But otherwise, just as Christ is equal with the Father, the woman is equal with the man in the eyes of God, in all things. But in government, God's government structure, it's like this. So that is what Paul begins to talk about in 1 Corinthians chapter 11. So then he says, he's addressing a local problem. How do we know it's a local problem? Because in verse 16, he says, after he talks about this whole thing about head covering, he says in 1 Corinthians 11 verse 16, he says, if anyone seems to be contentious, 1 Corinthians 11, 16, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God. In other words, if you want to argue about this, should a woman cover her head? Look, if you are contentious, you want to argue about, look, we don't have this custom in other churches. So it's very clear that this custom of covering the head was something very specific to the Corinthian church. Because that's how he ends in verse 16. If any one of you seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God. We don't practice this in other churches. So this head covering was very specific to the Corinthian church. So then we have to understand what was going on. So in the Corinthian church, Corinth in those days was a place of great religious worship, but also a place of great immorality. Because those temples had prostitutes and temple prostitutes shaved the heads. Now when these women got saved and they came to the church, they came to worship, so you can imagine all of them sitting with their head shone. So Paul was addressing that issue and he said, for a woman it is good to have head and as a sign that she's married, it is good for her to cover her head. That's all. That means a sign that she is married. Cover your head. It's a sign that you have head shift over you. That means you have a man over you. So this is a custom we even see in our own country. So different cultures do different things. Some cultures they put a red dot somewhere here or some cultures they actually cover their head.  As a sign that they are married or typically we wear rings or women may wear necklace. These are all cultural things, different things people do. To show that they are married. So that is all he is saying here. Saying, look, the head of the woman is man.   That's all. So it is a very cultural thing. It is not something he says. So in verse 16 he says, we don't do this in all our churches. But he also see in this passage, he makes it very clear that man and woman are equal. If you look at verse 11, verse 11, nevertheless, neither is man independent of woman nor woman independent of man in the Lord. Verse 11, 11. Say, hey, in the Lord we are equal. Just as a man needs a woman, woman needs a man, we are not independent. We are dependent on each other. We are equal in the Lord. He makes it very clear. But as a symbol of headship, you cover your heads in the church setting when you are coming together. Okay. So that's what he explains. That's verse 10. If you look at verse 10, verse 11, one question that many people raise is this. He says, for this reason, verse 10, for this reason the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head because of the angels. So this is a big question. Why he said because of the angels? Why did Paul write? Of course, he's inspired by the Holy Spirit. Why did Paul say a woman, verse 10, a woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, which is, she's putting this covering, which is a symbol of authority. That means she has somebody over her. Why did he say because of the angels? The answer is it's not given. He didn't explain that further. So anything anybody says is only a good guess because Paul never went on to explain why he made that statement. Why did he say because of the angels? Now, I just want you to listen to some possible things that people have said.  Because Paul said you have to cover your head because they're angels. They're trying to deceive you. These are bad angels trying to deceive you. So some people preach like that.  Others, you'll get deceived. Well, you can't prove it from here. Paul never said that. So to preach that as though that was the truth is only a guessing and you're preaching an assumption as though it was the truth. But that's not what he said. Another thing that we know which we can cross or reference is in Ephesians 3 where angels, Paul writes in Ephesians 3 with the exact verse, where angels are looking at the church. Ephesians 3. Sorry, Ephesians 2. And I'll give you the exact verse. What was I thinking? Ephesians 10. Ephesians 3 verse 10. I'm so sorry. Ephesians 3 verse 10. I was confused between chapter 2 and 3. Ephesians 3 verse 10. He says that principalities and powers in heavenly places, referring to angelic beings, they through the church, the wisdom of God is made known to them. Admins, angels, good and bad, angelic beings, principalities and powers. They're looking at the church and through the church God's manifold wisdom is being made known to them. They're understanding the wisdom of God. So that is a possible explanation of 1 Corinthians 11 verse 10 that the angels are looking at the church and they're able to learn about God through the church. That has a more likely explanation because you can cross reference it to what the Apostle Paul wrote in Ephesians 3.10 about the church. So as you conduct yourself like this, because angels are looking at us to learn about God, the wisdom of God. But either way, we cannot state it that this is the right explanation because we don't know. Paul himself didn't explain it. So that's a statement that's there for which we cannot have a very definite explanation but we can have a most likely explanation based on Ephesians 3.10. But the other explanation which I said about angels deceiving women if they don't cover the head, that is far-fetched. That is a little out of the way because that's not substantiated by anything else in Scripture. So that's a phrase we know that that's not something we don't know for sure but most likely this could be what Paul was referencing because of what he wrote in other places. Okay, any questions on that? They're dealing with all the difficult things first. Now we'll get into some of the easier things. Okay, let me look at the chat. Nina, John, 1st Timothy 2.8. Okay, a woman shall be saved in childbearing. If they continue in faith, holiness, et cetera, please explain. 1st Timothy 2. Okay, yeah. So going back to 1st Timothy 2. So Nina has a question there. 1st Timothy 2. So the explanation is exactly what it means, meaning he's saying, if we maintain the order, so the context, of course, as we explained is marriage because Adam was formed first, Adam and Eve, context was marriage, Adam and Eve. We're going back to 1st Timothy 2 verses 11 to 15. There's a question on the chat to explain that. Okay, so we're going back to that. And so the context has now shifted to Adam and Eve. And he's saying, look, Adam and Eve, husband and wife, there's headship, Adam was formed first, then Eve, there's headship, which we understand. It doesn't mean Adam is better than Eve. No, it's just headship responsibility in the context of marriage. Therefore, woman, you being submission to your husband doesn't try to take his place, you know, that's the context we've understood. And in continuing that thought, he mentions two things in verse 14 and 15. He says Adam was not deceived, the woman was deceived, fell into transgression. So he's just stating an obvious fact. The serpent approached Eve and deceived her first. So that's the fact. Does it mean that women are more gullible, not necessarily? Because wisdom doesn't have to do with your gender. You're wise if you're wise.  So it doesn't mean that all women are gullible. That's not what he's saying. Adam was formed, Adam has a place of headship, but he's stating a fact that the serpent targeted the woman and he tried to go from a level lower. He didn't try to go directly to the head, Adam. He tried to one level lower. He tried the woman. So it is a main woman are gullible, but we understand that even the enemy tries to attack in that level. And if we stay in our rank and position, we stay in the authority structure, then we are staying protected and we are staying in the place where we should be. And verse 15 continues with that same thought, which is if they, husband and woman, continue in faith, love and holiness with self-control, that means you are walking the way God wants you to walk. So this is the responsibility of walking in faith, love, holiness and self-control is not just for the woman, it's for they, that means both Adam and Eve, both man and woman, husband and wife. If they walk in faith, love, holiness and self-control, she will be saved in childbearing. That means God will watch over her, protect her, keep her safe during her delivery. That's all it means. The word saved also is a Greek word which has multiple meanings. So you can talk about safety, preservation. So the word saved has a wide range of meanings, including forgiveness of sins, healing, deliverance. Also means protection and preservation and safety. So it's used in that context here. So what's he saying? There's authority structure. Woman, don't break that authority structure. Wife, don't try to teach your husband. Don't try to take his place. You walk in the authority structure. You know that the way the serpent gained access is he tried to go one level lower. He tried to directly attack the woman. He's not implying that all women are gullible. He's just saying that's the way the enemy operates it. He's stating a fact. So we stay in God's authority structure. And if both husband and wife are walking in faith, love, holiness and self-control, God's promise is that he will protect. He will save. He will preserve the wife through her child. Simple. Is that okay? Now in some books, I'll just make mention of this. In some commentaries, they will give some other information like they'll give that the information. Generally, you might read this if you read some commentaries that Ephesians was a place where the goddess of fertility was being worshipped. They'll give some information. Okay, maybe, maybe not. We don't know, but you might read this. And so there was this fear that because now these people have become believers, they are no longer worshipping that goddess of fertility. So these people had fear that maybe their childbearing will be disrupted. So that's why Paul is writing these words. It's interesting to know whether it's a fact or whether it's somebody making up something. I don't know, but we can just read the scriptures and what is relevant for us today. The goddess of fertility doesn't matter today. What is relevant for us today is that if the husband and wife walk in faith, love, holiness, and self-control, the promise is a wife will be saved during childbearing. That applies to us today. Okay, so whether that commentary which you might read in some books is useful or not. So the emphasis is continuing in faith, holiness, and not so much on childbearing. Well, because it's in the same verse, both are equally important. But the answer is yes. Whether a couple is going through childbearing or whether the next 40 years after they've given birth to a child, they still have to walk in faith, love, holiness, and self-control. So that's important. From that sense, yeah, that's what he's saying. But in the context of that verse, he's dealing with both. But if you look at it from a practical sense, love, holiness, self-control is something we live right through, whether there's childbearing happening or not. So, okay. All right, any other questions? So let's move forward. Okay, it's break time. Fine. Let's go for a 10-minute break.  Okay, the other things I'll just move through quickly. They are different topics. I'll just go through them quickly. All right, let's be back in 10 minutes. Thank you, everyone.


I thank everybody for coming here today I had the opportunity to spend four days with my wife with my children in the great north woods of wisconsin we did a little bit of fishing little boating a lot of relaxing and during that time we discussed my future and the future of the city of sheboygan and i am happy to say i am more resolute than ever to remain the mayor of this great city and to continue to continue to move this city forward i'd like to thank all of my supporters for coming here today it's called democracy it's the right to assemble it's the right to the democratic process i would also like to thank those who do not support me because they also have the right to assemble and the right to be heard but i must say i appreciate those who support me a bit more than the others i think it's time that we put this issue to bed and that we move forward as a city we've accomplished a lot in the last two years and we've done it not as me bob ryan the mayor but as the mayor the common council and the citizens of sheboygan just to name a couple things that we've done since my first full term in mayor was 2010 in 2010 we ran 3.7 percent below our budgeted expenses or 3.1 million dollars below expenses or 1.3 excuse me our cash and investments improved by 12.9 percent 12.9 percent or 6.8 million dollars in the city of sheboygan our debt was reduced by 10.3 percent or 7.7 million dollars our overall fund balance is improved in 2010 by 16.8 percent or 4.4 million dollars and our general fund undesignated balance improved by 47 percent our undesignated balance or 1.8 million dollars this was 2010 the first year of my budget in spite of the economic hardships that we face in the city we're moving forward when it comes to building a tax base for the future we've recently gotten our latest bond rating by s and p standard and pours for 2011 of a double A and one of the reasons why they gave us a double A was because of our improving city balances and because of our business oriented administration that is looking to build the tax base in the city and build the city for the future i'm saying that we need to do this together it's time for the mayor's office and the alderman to come back together to put this to bet and to move the city forward i have stated i have stated in the past and we have we have the right to be heard there too but i'd appreciate it if you be heard after i'm finished i've stated in the past that if i am to drink alcohol well in office i will immediately and voluntarily resign this office i stand by that i have also held out an olive branch to several alderman that i hope mother alderman will take me up on this and if there is any any hint of me consuming alcohol in the future i will voluntarily take any sobriety test administered by a medical doctor anytime i have not had a drink in 37 days today that's nothing to clap about 37 days it's nothing you can clap for me at 37 months and if i live that long 37 years i have no intention of doing anything but taking care of my family taking care of myself taking care of our city but i can't do it alone i also need the common council to come together with me once again we've accomplished a lot we have accomplished a lot in this city and we will accomplish a heck of a lot more in the future we have some rather we have some large put it that way development projects and the works things that can create over a thousand new jobs in this city in the next year we need those jobs are our number one goal in this city with jobs people make money we need people living downtown we need professional people back moving downtown rather than living out in the suburbs of the city that's the only way we'll develop our tax base in order to do that we have to have a stable administration that's moving toward the future and i aim to do that with the help with the help of our alderman that we come back together i'm holding out in all of branch do the common council that we can come back together and we can move this city forward i'll take a few questions the council has nothing to do with the recall effort as far as i'm concerned that's the citizens to sign that if the recall effort was to move forward that is a part of a democratic process i'm not opposed to that may i talk about putting this process to bed whereas the alderman right now we're also working for the same goal but at a different method i guess what's your take on the meeting tomorrow night um my take on the meeting tomorrow night is uh if there will be a vote one way or the other i'm helping the city by staying because i look at who is going to take my place what will happen in the recall election i will obviously run as a candidate if there are enough enough signatures for a recall i ran my campaign on my own last time myself and my wife we ran the campaign i'm experienced now i know how to run a campaign so i definitely will put up a good one in a recall election i'm getting the help i need every day getting the help i need uh through an iOP program that i attend three days a week i have myself a sponsor in the EA program for the first time in my life somebody to hold myself accountable somebody to hold my feet to the fire to do the right thing i have the support of my family i have my wife i have my children i have my mother i have my brother i work i work on my sobriety every day to quit is not going to help me stay sober that is for sure mayor you say you're staying in office is there anybody else would like to ask a question here i think i'm going to be obviously a recall election would be the cheapest because with a recall election it could be held with our with our primary coming up in february in the city and it wouldn't cost taxpayers anything that would be obviously the cheapest and it's it is the it is part of the democratic process which is a heck of a lot different than somebody taking illegal action number one that is untried unproven there's no case law for it it's never been done sir i get business done every day today i uh i was not even working today i was driving from the great north woods back into the city picked up my dry cleaning and ran into a business owner that wants to take the property next to his business and sell it to be a joining business that we that then they can sell some outlasts to put more businesses up i can i can accomplish this you know this this right here this is very serious business but i consider this a sight show this is a sight show is is what's going on right now the real business is the business of the city and what we need to do to keep to keep the city moving forward no i am calling i am not calling the colleagues the site show i am calling my primary job is to move the city forward uh the things that happen uh with my attorney um and with uh with some people that want me to step aside uh that is not my primary job my primary primary job is administering this the business of the city of sheboy next question are there any further questions i have had an image problem um you know basically uh uh when i was in business when i when i i am not the perfect role model um i try to be a better person every day of my life i am who i am i have my faults but i can do a heck of a lot of good for this city and that's what i am to do in the future thank you


The Art of Seduction is a non-fiction book by Robert Greene, which describes nine different types of seducers. The goal is to find out what kind of seducer are you. Some of us are several different types of seducers, and others just have one strong seduction quality, and that is the important thing to note here. It isn't the quantity, but the quality of seductions that makes someone truly irresistible. This video is done in partnership with Adam and Eve, an adult online store where you guys can go and get all of your sexual fantasies met from the comfort and privacy of your computer. Every single outfit that I am wearing in this video is from adamandeve.com.  The first type of seducer is the siren. They are the visual appetite. Some famous seducers today would be Kim Kardashian, Marilyn Monroe, and Cleopatra.  Do you crave the attention? Do you not mind when people who could never have you secretly lust after your every single movement? If so, you might be a siren. Next, we have the rake. The rake isn't trying to hide the fact that they get what they want, when they want it, and however many they want at their given time. Rakes are Casanovas, and well, to be honest, they're players, but the thing about it is they don't try to hide that.  That doesn't stop them from being highly seductive. Some famous rakes, Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, and our girl Rihanna. The next type of seducer is the ideal lover. All of us have dreams, goals, visions of who we are, but more importantly, who we are supposed to be. An ideal lover sees that in you. They see your greatness, and they bring it to the forefront.  Now some famous ideal lovers out there have been Leonardo DiCaprio, specifically in Titanic, where he played Jack, who showed Rose her true identity, and more importantly, who her true love is supposed to be. And when he's not being a rake, Drake is also an ideal lover. Next let's meet the dandy. I've talked about this many times before how the Kinsey scale goes from zero to six. The truth of the matter is that very few of us are a true zero, which is absolutely heterosexual, and a true six, which is 100% homosexual. Most of us are somewhere in between. A dandy brings that truth to light. They play in androgyny. Sometimes they're feminine, sometimes they're masculine. You can't really put a thumb or a finger on their sexuality. It is free, wild, and expressive. Now some famous dandies out there, Prince, R.I.P. to that legend, Ruby Rose is another one, and one of my personal friends is Ari Fitz, who deliciously plays in her dandiness. Now the fun thing about dandy is that they bring to life a fantasy that we all desire, which is freedom from gender roles and gender conformity. Now I want you guys to meet the natural. All of us secretly long to go back to our childhood days when we were free from insecurity, free from responsibility, and just free overall. The natural brings that fantasy to life. They remind us of childhood and that carefree time. They play constantly, they have fun wherever they go, and they don't seem too concerned about the responsibilities of adulthood. Some famous naturals that you guys probably know are Channing Tatum. Another famous natural is Chrissy Teigen. If you are a natural, you defy age. You just live, and it's beautiful, it's effortless, and hella seductive. Let's talk about the Coquette. The Coquette is the tease. They are the person who has so much restraint, it drives you crazy.  The Coquette is very good at the cat and mouse game. They're very good switching moods to keep you on your toes. You're never quite sure if you are in good graces with the Coquette and nothing is a given.  A great example of a Coquette would be Sarah Michelle Geller in Cruel Intentions. Now she was saving herself, but that doesn't mean that she was sparing any of her victims. Are you a Coquette? Do you always keep your partners guessing? Do they have to earn every single right of passage of pleasure from you? If so, you will forever be a mystery. You will always be an object of desire because people will never truly have you. Because I'm getting a little tired of changing outfits, we're going to roll the charismatic and the charmer into one, even though the book, they are separate things. Somebody who has charisma, somebody who is a charmer makes you feel like the most special person in the entire world. They give you undivided attention, but most importantly, they are the kind of person that everybody craves attention from. They walk into the room and it lights up around them. They make everybody feel good. They tell everyone how good that they look. They give compliments. They give a great feeling. Some famous charismatic charmers of our time. Probably every single funny person you know, Kevin Hart being a major one, Oprah Winfrey also giving you that special feeling where you are an individual with so much power waiting to be unleashed. At the same time, you are very well aware of her power. Are you a charismatic charmer? Are you fun? Are you funny? Are you effortless?  And do you feel good about yourself? The most important thing in quality of a charismatic charmer is that they have very high self-confidence and self-esteem. They're honest, they're humble, they're forward, and they are insanely seductive. The final seduction quality is the star. There is something about this person that lets you know off the top, they are not an ordinary person. There is a magic, a mystery, an untouchableness about this person that makes them highly seductive. Stars are people that we all just know are not really from this planet. They move differently. They desire attention and are very, very good at getting it. Daily life can be harsh, boring, monotonous, and repetitive. Stars are anything but. They are a break from the norm. They are something that stands out from the crowd. Something special, something magnetic, something unforgettable. Are you very unique? Kind of mysterious, a little aloof, but highly interesting. Can people not take their eyes off you?  Now for the million dollar question. What kind of seducer are you? Let me know in the comments section below and while you guys are down there pressing all kinds of buttons, hopefully subscribe and like. That would be pretty nice. Also, check out the info box where you can find all the Adam and Eve.com links to every outfit that I wore. In addition, the promo code information. And lastly, if you're not quite sure what seduction style you are just by listening, I put a couple quizzes in there to you guys can take to really find the true answer. But then when you do the quiz, come back and tell me what kind of seducer are you? Okay, that's it. You guys, this video was hella exhausting. Let me tell you a song. No, you'd love to shop for camp with no bucks. You ain't trying to flip them cheeks for no ones. No one about to rub them buns for good luck. I get it, girl.


And welcome to the session in which we will discuss convertible preferred stock. What is the big idea of convertible preferred stock? Well, convertible preferred stock is one of many types of preferred stock, such as cumulative, non cumulative, participating, so on and so forth. But the convertible preferred, it has a special features where it gives the holder, not the company that's issuing the preferred stock. The option to convert, to exchange the stock, the preferred stock into common stock, simply put switch teams from being a preferred stock to being a common shareholder. Well, same concept as convertible bonds. So if you learn about convertible bonds, you will see convertible stock is very similar. Why do we need to learn specifically about convertible preferred? The reason is simple. Convertible preferred are considered dilutive securities. What are dilutive securities? Dilutive securities are securities that could be potentially converted into common stock. And by definition, convertible preferred could be converted into common stock. And as a result, it could dilute earnings per share. It means it will bring down earnings per share. Don't worry about this. Just for now, no, it's dilutive security. And when we'll talk about earnings per share, we'll explain with details, with figures, how does that work? Now, why do companies issue those convertible preferred? Well, just like with bonds, you want to appeal to less risky investors. To less risky investors. Why? Because common stock is quite risky. Convertible stock, convertible preferred, it's still risky, but less risky than common. It's even riskier than convertible bonds, but less risky than common. Also, you want to raise money. The company wants to bring money so we can operate the business by delaying the actual ownership dilution. So we want to raise money, but we don't want to give the new owners any saying in the company. So we'll tell them, look, give us the money now by our preferred stock. And if you like the company, if the company makes a profit, you have the option to switch teams and make profit with us as a common shareholder. Now, when we convert those preferred stock, we're going to be using just like with convertible bonds, the book value method. There's no justification to book again or a loss from your own stock, unless of course you are Enron. That's what they did. They will buy and sell their own stock and book again. Now, the best way to illustrate the concept of convertible preferred stock is to actually look at an example. But before we look at an example, I would like to remind you whether you are an accounting student or a CPA candidate to take a look at my website, farhatlectures.com. I don't replace your CPA review course, nor I replace your accounting course. I'm a useful addition. My motto is saving CPA candidate and accounting student one at a time. I offer you lectures, detailed lectures, resources that's going to help you succeed. Take a look at my website. If not for anything, if not for anything to find out how well or not well your university doing on the CPA exam. Also, I would like to let you know that I have a course catalog, intermediate accounting, managerial, auditing, governmental tax with additional resources, lectures, multiple choice, all organized by course and chapter. My CPA material will be aligned with your Becker, Wiley, Roger and Gleam, so it's very easy to go back and forth between my material and your CPA review course. I also give you access to 1500 previously released AICPA questions with detailed solution in addition to thousands of multiple choice practice questions. If you have not connected with me on LinkedIn, please do so. Take a look at my LinkedIn recommendation like this recording, share it with others, connect with me on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Reddit. So let's take a look at this example and I'm going to issue the stock first then convert it. So this way you see the process from A to Z and this will be a review for you. Adam Company issued 10,000 of its $10, 6% convert will preferred for 150,000. Simply put, the power value is 10, this preferred stock is paying 6% and we raised 150,000. The conversion rate is for every five preferred, you will get one common stock that has a $2 power value. So let's take a look at the entry at issuance. We're going to debit cash 150,000. We're going to credit preferred stock. The number of shares issued times the power value, which is 10,000 shares times $10 per share is the power value. And what's left is paid in capital preferred 40,000. And basically I want you to see that it's the same as issuing in quote, regular preferred stock. So when you issue it, you basically ignore the conversion feature because the preferred may or may not convert.  Now let's assume that they do convert. What's going to happen if they do convert? And we're going to assume they're going to convert everything to common stock. Remember the rate is for every five, you would receive one common stock and the common stock has a power value of $2. Well, when they convert, first you have to remove the preferred stock and it's paid in capital. So we're going to debit preferred stock, debit paid in capital preferred. Now we're going to issue the stock. Well, if we have 10,000 shares, we're going to divide them by five because for every five, we're going to get one common. So we're issuing a new 2,000 common stock. Well, 2,000 common stock times $2 power value. That's going to give us common stock of $4,000. And guess what? The remainder will be paid in capital common stock 136. Once again, notice there is no gain and no loss. You cannot book a gain or a loss from exchanging your own stocks. Now, the holder of the preferred might have enjoyed a gain or who knows, they're not going to convert if they incur a loss. But if they enjoy a gain, that's for themselves to record that gain and book it. But for the company, they cannot have a gain or a loss from exchanging their own stock. At the end of this recording, I'm going to remind you to go to my website, forhatlectures.com, subscribe, work multiple choice questions. Don't shortchange yourself. To learn this, you have to invest a little bit more in your time, maybe a little bit more of additional resources. I don't replace your CPA review course. I don't replace your accounting course. I can help you do better. Give me a chance. Good luck, study hard. And of course, stay safe.
