Okay, so welcome back once again everyone and I hope you're enjoying this Study on the prophetic we have just seen the introduction and we've also gone over the various into incidents of the prophetic and You know not just incidents but Insights from the Old Testament about the prophetic anointing So in the last class we saw how there were different expressions used to describe the experience of various Prophets in the Old Testament and how God laid his word on their hearts and how they ministered God's word so Today, we are going to do a survey of the New Testament and then you know move on from there and build on how we can move in the prophetic anointing, you know sooner like in maybe in about Five or five five or six classes. We should be getting into Learning, you know how each one of us can move in the prophetic anointing So that's that is we are going to take more time on that. I'm just trying to build the foundation and share some of the key Concepts about the prophetic anointing before us and so, you know, you might find that from today I Go a little bit faster You know, it's we don't have the time to cover every line and sentence in our books But the key thoughts I will share with us and I encourage you to go back and read from our publication on the Publication called Understanding the prophetic. Okay, you can find it in the APC Publications online Okay, so I'm on page number three Sorry page number 57 and chapter number three prophetic menacing the New Testament We've been here with the life of John the Baptist now John the Baptist No, he was called. He is known as the greatest of the Old Testament Prophets and it is said about him that he came in the spirit and the power of Elijah Okay, now we might ask the question. Why is it that John the Baptist is? Said to be associated with the Elijah anointing well Elijah in many ways was a forerunner He was a forerunner and the prophetic came through very powerfully through his life and God accomplished You know various things through that prophetic anointing and in the same way when you compare the life of John the Baptist We know that he prayed he Was the one proclaiming The preparation for the way of Jesus so he was saying that you know prepare the way for the Lord and he had that Preparation or the forerunner anointing upon him, which is why both of them are associated so This also helps us understand that the anointing are transferable across Generations and we've we've seen that you know, we've studied about that in the previous section So John the Baptist is the first one that we talk about in the New Testament And when you study the life of John the Baptist, you know, he Was there he you would say that this individual is a very unlikely Based on the description that you have about him No, he wasn't going around saying that says the Lord or You know the all of that but still no God had placed his prophetic anointing upon him And the main thing that the prophetic anointing accomplished is the preparation of the way for the messiah So he came before the messiah and he proclaimed and you know invited people to repent and be ready for the Ready to receive the work of the messiah. So that's what John the Baptist did now As we continue on in the New Testament, we study a lot about the life of our Lord Jesus Christ and the beautiful thing about the Lord Jesus is in Where is this? I think it's John 3 you you read there that he had the spirit without measure Okay, spirit without measure missing the reference. Let me quickly share that reference Yeah, John 3 John 3 and verse 34 this verse says For he whom God had sent Speak at the words of God for God give it not the spirit by measure unto him Okay, so the way we understand this is the Lord Jesus carried the anointing of The five-fold offices Okay, so no one human being can have the anointing of all the five-fold ministry offices You may find somebody who's in the role of an apostle and Teacher so there are combinations of that are nothing but know where do you see a single individual with all the anointing? But Jesus, you know in Hebrews Hebrews 3 I think Verse 1 you read that like he he is the Apostle right. He's the apostle And the high priest of our confession. So the apostolic. He's the apostle We are told that obviously we know that he was a great teacher of God's word He was the word himself. So he had the teaching anointing. He also is a prophet Okay, and he carried that prophetic anointing on him and similarly the other Capacities of the five-fold anointing everything rested upon the Lord Jesus and that's where we see that the spirit upon his life was without Measure and talking about the prophetic anointing No, Jesus In a couple of places you you don't really again see him Saying that says the Lord or things like that, but there are references where Like in the Old Testament Moses had said that God is going to raise up a prophet like me Who was he referring to? He was referring to Jesus and then again Jesus about talking about himself in Luke 4 24. No, he makes this statement. He says no Prophet is accepted in his own country. So what is he saying talking about himself? He's saying that he's a prophet So definitely he was a prophet when he raised up the dead son of the lady from nine Even then people rejoice they say a great prophet has risen up among us So the Lord Jesus definitely carried demonstrated the prophetic anointing and in its You know the the greatest grace That that is available in the prophetic office, you know at in that extent he demonstrated the prophetic anointing now when we continue to You know study about his life and ask the question What exactly did this prophetic anointing do we see that? He was able to reveal the hearts of people what do you recall when People came against him the Pharisees the Sadducees They said something but they thought something else and Jesus was able to point it out and tell them I know what you're thinking right now and you know that was through the prophetic anointing We also see that he was able to reveal the true character and potential of people for example, Nathaniel Nathaniel When Jesus found him he said hey here is a man without Kyle or here is a very Clean This man has a clean heart. How would one know? You know whether someone has a clean heart or not to so to look into the character of a person It was possible through the prophetic anointing. So in this manner the prophetic anointing was rested upon Jesus and There were many demonstrations powerful demonstrations of the anointing as he went about healing people and working miracles in their lives And Matthew 24 25 those passages talk about the end times the things that are going to Unfold on the earth and the Lord Jesus was the one who Revealed it to us. How is it possible through the prophetic anointing? So the Lord Jesus himself Functioned in the prophetic anointing and at the level of a prophet now as we move further in the New Testament We come to the age of the early church and over there We see the rising of 12 Apostles, okay, and As we study about these Apostles and the activities they were engaged in no We we recognized that you know the prophetic was flowing among them as well We most specifically read about the emergence of certain profits and later on in Acts chapter 11 when the church of Antioch is set up This set of you know a prophetic team from Jerusalem is sent to Antioch to just help The spiritual development and growth of the church and one particular prophet who was sent was Agbas and You know soon after this team went to the church of Antioch in just a matter of let's say two or three years you find that the Church of Antioch really began to grow in the things of God and you know the work of God was Activated in a powerful way and you could say that was a powerful Impartation and stirring up of the prophetic in the lives of the people in the church of Antioch Okay, so that is something we study and Later on you know we we see how God Speaks and ministers to people in Acts 13 as the leadership of the church of Antioch are praying Okay, they hear from God. You know God speaks to them and tells them You set aside for me Paul and Barnabas for the work that I have for them. So there are people commissioned into a Ministry of missions as the leadership of Antioch hears from God So, you know, all this is the prophetic in the New Testament for us And we continue from there. We continue from there And you know, we see how the Holy Spirit is working in the lives of the people In the early church later on some time you study about God's wisdom upon the leadership of In the Jerusalem Church and Paul and Barnabas go over to the Jerusalem Church in Acts chapter 15 They have to make a decision regarding customs that people from a non-Jewish background need to follow in order for them to fully Experience and walk in the in the life of salvation and you know They come up with the decision that all Jewish customs need not be followed for salvation So if one believes in the Lord Jesus, that is fine and they also They also tell the Gentiles to stay away from certain practices that dishonour God So even at that time, you know, it is really God speaking to them the Holy Spirit moving upon their hearts to bring the right word of God now later on when we talk about the office of a prophet, you know, we will see that presenting directives of this kind which is leading the Leading large parts of the body of Christ or giving direction to the entire body of Christ Okay, so that is part of the prophetic anointing from the prophetic office. So We see these things unfold. There are names of people like Judas and Silas also as part of the new the early church team who were prophets They exalted the people they strengthened the brethren You know, they they brought encouragement to the prophetic ministry and as we continue on, you know, we see That Paul had four of sorry Philip had four daughters and all these four daughters prophesied So, you know, these are all people who were releasing the prophetic anointing and of course There's a lot more about Agibus about how he prophesied regarding an impending famine and this prophecy help the church plan and raise funds to Help people who would be need at the time of the famine So Agibus gave that that very important prophecy and not just that Agibus was also instrumental in confirming What God had already spoke into Paul. So Paul knew Paul knew that, you know chains and Tribulations await me or wherever I am gonna go. He knew later on this journey that he's going to be Taken into prison and come under trial But still he was moving in the direction. He was moving towards Jerusalem and at that time Agibus comes and you know, he Does this whole prophetic act where he takes Paul's belt. He ties himself I think this is an act 21 where he says that, you know, the man Whose belt this is will be bound in this way So Paul already knew God had already spoken to him and yet, you know, Agibus was there Re-confirming that Paul is going to go through a great time of trial and tribulation So in this manner We see the The the prophetic and prophecies ministering The lives of the people now as we study the New Testament further. No, there is a lot more insight about the Simple gift of prophecy, which is one of the spiritual gifts And there is also insight about what we call as the grace gift of prophecy where, you know, people some people some individuals are called for the prophetic ministry, okay to be demonstrated through their lives and the The next one would be the office of a prophet and this progression I've touched upon this when we started our course So I know that you have an idea already, but we will build on it. So now coming to The gift of prophecy and this is spoken of in first Corinthians chapter 12 verses 1 through 11 Here Paul wrote to the Corinthian church and he said, you know now concerning spiritual gifts brethren I do not want you to be ignorant You know that you were Gentiles carried away to these dumb idols. However, you were led Therefore, I make known to you that no one speaking by the spirit of God calls Jesus a cursed, you know And then he goes on to describing further and then, you know, he enlists all the gifts Which are a manifestation or let's say the work of the Holy Spirit and in that list Now he says I'll read it from the beginning but the manifestation of the spirit is given to each one for the prophet of all For to one is given the word of wisdom. Okay, so note the list now word of wisdom to another word of knowledge through the same spirit to another Faith by the same spirit to another gifts of healings By the same spirit to another the working of miracles To another prophecy. So notice that prophecy is part of the manifestation of the gifts of the spirit to another prophecy to another discerning of Spirits to another different kinds of tongues To another the interpretation of tongue. So there are nine and then he wraps it up by saying But one and the same spirit works all these things Distributing to each one Individually as he wills. So basically what he's saying is though there are diversities of These gifts, they are all from one source That would be the Holy Spirit and as we've noticed The gift of prophecy is a part of the gifts of the Holy Spirit now if we go to first Corinthians chapter 14 and verse 3 that describes this particular gift of prophecy and No, it says that this gift of prophecy is for edification exhortation and comfort to men and we would say that This is we call it the simple gift of prophecy in other words, we understand it as The gift of prophecy that every believer can Manifest or the simple gift of prophecy and what does the simple gift of prophecy do? Edification edification means building up. So whenever there is a prophetic word, it must build us up It must build our faith. It must build our Our fervor our You know strengthen our relationship with God. So that's what prophecy is intended to do So prophecy is for edification. Then there is Exortation exhortation is encouragement again in the things of God in the purpose of God In our relationship with God a word of prophecy brings Encouragement and comfort. Okay. So in the same chapter There is a little deeper Examination of these words comfort is to speak tenderly comfort is to Speak more closely. So, you know, it's an encouragement But it's a deeper form of encouragement where where God is really lifting us up And you know speaking his his words of affirmation into our hearts So the simple gift of prophecy is supposed to do all of this for the people And you know Paul also added in first Corinthians 14 verse 4 He said he who prophesies Edifies the church now he also kind of Contrasted this with tongues and he mentioned that when we speak in tongues What we are doing is we are building ourselves up. So when I speak in tongues, it's beneficial for me personally Because again, I'm talking about the simple tongues the gift of simple tongues is given for personal edification in the way in Jude Jude 21 where we read that by Speaking in tongues. We are strengthening our inner man. So tongues is for personal edification But in this passage, you know Paul talks about Prophecy being something that edifies the church. It strengthens the church So we see here how The gifts of the spirit the manifestation of the genuine gifts of the spirit You really causes the church to Be built up in faith Okay, how it causes the church to thrive and a great example to look back on is the church of Antioch When a team of prophets and teachers came from Jerusalem To the church of Antioch, you know in in a very short period of time There there were more people who rose up who were hearing God's voice and you know, they they were Functioning in the gift of prophecy. So it strengthens the church and and it's really beautiful For us to be moving in the gift of prophecy. So it's something to look forward to I know that sometimes Some of us might have that inhibition and think oh what will happen if everyone starts prophesying What if you know people say all kinds of things we'll talk about it later, you know, it's it's it is going to take that much effort to teach on Prophecy and guide people In flowing in this gift But when you come to a place where people are flowing in the genuine gift of prophecy, it is Most beneficial for the local church as well as the body of Christ So we need this and this is really great and we must look forward to it now Moving forward from the simple gift of prophecy. We talk about what is known as the grace gift of prophecy So the passage that we will refer to would be from Romans chapter 12 Romans chapter 12 versus 4 through 8 it lists out, you know, some of the other Gifts that contribute to the building up of the body of Christ. So I'll read it for us in this passage So Romans 12 From verse 4 to verse 8 for as we have many members in one body But all the members do not have the same function So we being many are one body in Christ and individually members of one another Having then gifts Okay, again the term you is here is gifts. But what kinds of gifts is he talking about Gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us. So earlier First Corinthians 12 we talked about gifts of the Holy Spirit Okay, the manifestation of the Holy Spirit and there was a list of nine gifts over there But here he's talking about gifts according to the grace of God given to us Let us use them So he says if prophecy there's a mention of prophecy here as well Well, if prophecy let us prophesy In proportion to our faith or ministry, let us use it in our Ministering he who teaches in teaching he who exalts in exhortation He who gives with liberality. He who leads with diligence. He who shows mercy with cheerfulness. So there is Prophecy mentioned here Which is a grace gift of prophecy and what does this mean? This simply means that While all believers can prophesy they can manifest a simple gift of prophecy which is to Edify exhort and comfort One another there are some believers who have been given the grace to Minister prophetically. So the Manifestation of the prophetic is greater in their lives. Okay, so we may also term it as oh, this person has a prophetic ministry Okay, so some have the grace gift of prophecy where we see Uh, the the measure of the prophetic In a Greater manner in the work that they do now. They might be people who um Just release the prophetic word or they might be people who are engaging in a Uh, different kind of a ministry altogether, but they are prophetic in some way. Let's say I'm just giving you an example There is a writer and God has given God has gifted this person to write and you know, they are writing songs. They're writing You know stories. They're writing different things, but every time you read what they're writing It's it's as if you're hearing from God So there is a grace, right? Upon the ministry of this individual and it is prophetic You know in that sense. So there are some people who might move In the grace gift of prophecy and the measure of the prophetic over their lives would be certainly more than The simple gift of prophecy that we talked about earlier. Okay Yeah, okay. I think that uh would suffice now the next Part of the progression if you remember we said gift of prophecy Grace gift and then the minister the office of a prophet. So the the final I don't want to use the term level because uh, uh, it's really the calling of God, you know where God Positions us. So there are people who are Selected by God chosen by God to be in the office of a prophet and Key passage for this is efficiency for we are very well aware You know from that passage Verses 11 through 13 how the Lord Jesus himself gave Some to be apostles some prophets some evangelists some pastors and teachers for what For the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry And for the edifying of the body of Christ so further to build up God's people to build up God's house Jesus has chosen some Yeah, then the five-fold ministry offices. So some would be prophets That is the reason we say that everyone who prophesies is not a prophet Okay, they could just be moving in the simple gift of prophecy or they could have the grace gift of prophecy manifesting through their lives, but The office of a prophet is uh, you know, uh Greater calling and uh one who is in this uh position Has greater responsibility okay, uh and The function of the Office of a prophet. I already told us that you know, they would be somebody who uh gives has governmental authority or Governmental authority is given by Christ to this individual and they release Words that bring direction to communities large parts of the body of Christ or The entire body of Christ and You know to nations things like that. So Now some of us might ask the question. How are these prophets different from the um prophets in the early church or the new testament well We understand that There are different kinds of prophets. Okay, so uh, obviously the church is built on the foundation Ephesians 2 20 says built on the foundation of apostles and prophets Jesus Christ himself being the cornerstone. So the The early church Okay had prophets whom we could refer to as um Like found founding prophets Okay, founding prophets and they had a mandate they had The calling of God to lay down certain standards So as we talked about um acts 15, you know, when they when they spoke and and declared That you don't need to fallish or follow any Jewish customs If you are born again and saved by believing in the work of the cross you are You already have received salvation. So they laid down those things And today the kind of prophets that we have in the body of Christ Their calling is different Okay, are they prophets the present day prophets whom we have? Yes, they are also prophets, but you would not find them meddling with the foundational truth of God's word. So you see in the office of the prophet itself, you know, the Function can be varied functions can be varied and that's how we understand the office of the prophet. So we can't really Say that the prophets of today Have to be exactly like the prophets in the New Testament. Okay, but yes, there are some of the Common common functions that we see that these prophets would prophesy Moves of God, uh, they would prophesy You know the mind of God to the larger body of Christ They would go and speak to cities. They would go and speak to nations, you know, things like this happen even today They can also bring Insights to solve problems These could be problems within the body of Christ or these could be problems You know, which are external And they could also bring a word to government. Okay We've seen that in the Old Testament as well. We saw how prophets were giving instructions from God to kings and leaders and rulers. So No, this is how we understand these The the progression here of the prophetic anointing, uh, which has been described in the New Testament. So, um Yeah, so the the inference for us is that We can all We can all prophesy. Okay, but Given the way, you know, God calls and pours out his grace There would be some people Uh, who who have a prophetic ministry as such and there will be some who are called into the office of a prophet Okay, so I just want to pause here and ask us if you're doing okay. If there are questions or You know something that you want to clarify at this point And then I can proceed I am at page 60 Yeah, finish 66. So we are moving to page 67 now Uh, but yeah anything that you want to ask or Talk about Okay, yeah, thank you. Thank you for that. Thank you. Thank you, brother Kennedy. Um, I couldn't understand the difference between, uh, the grace of Prophecy and other prophecies like the fivefolds uh gift of prophecy because The Bible say that we receive everything by grace how come there is One prophecy that is grace of prophecy and how How do we receive the other ones if it's not by grace? Thank you first Yeah, thank you, mangi. Uh, good question so mangi the Categorization that we have done is for our understanding So when I say The gift of prophecy the simple gift of prophecy, which is a gift of the holy spirit I am not eliminating the Grace of God from it. No God we receive that by God's grace and you notice Uh, when we talk about the gifts of the holy spirit Charismatic the the term the gift It is a gift We do nothing to earn a gift on my birthday if somebody gives me a very expensive Um, you know a watch or a cell phone or even flowers I did nothing to get it It is their love for me. It's grace It chose to give that to me. So what do I do with the gift? I say, thank you and I just receive it So is that gift the gifts of the holy spirit grace or not very much because it's not Based on my performance. It's based on What jesus has done on the cross. So Point I'm making is grace is everywhere grace is in all the three, uh, you know the the Grace the simple gift the grace gift and the prophetic office. It's just for our understanding that we are calling the Level, okay. I'll just say level higher than the simple gift of prophecy. We're calling it grace gift of prophecy Do you understand? It's a greater measure of the prophetic anointing Yes, bazaar. Thank you. Okay. It it's cleared your doubt your confusion Uh, yes, it did Okay. Yeah, okay. Thank you. Yes. Yeah. Yes, canady. Please go ahead Yeah, thank you. I think we are reading from the same cup Yeah, my brother mine the question is related there Okay, okay, so great Yeah, all right. Thank you canady. I'll say please go ahead Your turn. Yes. Yes, pastor. I'm just in line with the question. I would just like to confirm Could could we say that the simple gift of prophecy, you know only does Um, this to the believer a defying the believer Comforting the believer and encouraging the believer Whereas when it comes to the prophetic office the person who is called to the to as a prophet Is that beyond just a defying beyond just comforting beyond just encouraging There's revelation that comes with the prophecy. So, so that whenever he prophesies He's not just a defying. He's not just encouraging things are being revealed, you know Word of wisdom word of knowledge Incorporated into his prophecy. I don't know if that will be right to say Uh, yes say so you put it beautifully With the office of a prophet there comes greater revelation Um, and yeah to a certain extent you could say that the other gifts also Um, you know flow together, but we you mentioned the other gifts, but we'll come to that later Say, uh, but the part that you said about greater revelation. That's true Okay, so as you progress that is, uh, greater revelation greater impartation of the anointing Thank you pastor. Yeah. Thank you say yes. Are you Shri kumar? You have something to add Yeah, I have a question. Sorry pastor. Um, my question is, um, when, uh, the gift of prophecy Uh, it's a gift and um And then um as it is written in robins, um 1248 that Let us use if the prophecy the prophecy in proportion to our faith So I just want to know that when it is a gift as you said that somebody Uh, give you a gift, uh, you know, you will receive it with thanks So you don't need any faith on that so you can use it the way how But in that case then why that that a proportion of for you know, the faith is needed or What is that? That you know the interconnection of faith and the gift in that in that area. Thank you. Yes. Yes. Thank you Thank you. Shri kumar as you've rightly pointed out also the scripture reference romans 12 for to use the gift, you know in Uh, proportion to the faith that one has The same answer that I gave mangi You know just because something, um You you don't mention the word grace there the simple gift of prophecy is not devoid of grace So similarly when it comes to the operation of the prophetic at any level Though it's not mentioned it is uh, we do call it grace, uh But you know, it has to it it is activated by faith. Shri kumar. It's like salvation You know, there is something called as saving faith So it's only when the individual has that faith that you even receive the gift of salvation You can't receive the gift of salvation without That level of faith saving faith So in the same way for the operation of the gifts Of the spirit We do require faith though it is a gift If there is no faith It will not function and we are going to study about this the Now, uh, I I'll just put it. I'll just share something basic right now. See we need a We need uh, uh, if you want to say a basic amount of faith to receive the gift And that's how it is. But as we once we receive it, you know How we use the gift depends on our faith level, so All the gifts in fact are operational Based on our faith So as an individual once I have received the gift of prophecy If I keep increasing in my level of faith The manifestation of that gift in my life will keep increasing get keep getting better Okay, so, uh Though we don't mention it Yes, the operation of the gifts of the spirit is based on our faith. We cannot Disconnect the two so just because we call it a gift We must not misunderstand that there is uh, you know, faith is not required So I I hope it makes sense to you I'm only thinking what did I say? Yeah So, thank you faster. You you you said it correctly. Thank you. Okay. Great. Yes. Yes. Thank you for that So, yeah faith is definitely needed and the greater faith we develop the the smoother the flow of the anointing one of the ways That we build faith is through the word. Isn't it now all of us Just taking time in God's word about the gift of prophecy will cause our faith to rise and thereby A greater manifestation of the profiting gift Through our lives. Okay, so that's how it would work So, thank you. Thank you pass. Thank you everyone. Good, uh pertinent questions. We'll move forward. So I'm on page 67 now Yeah, the gifts of the spirit and the prophetic now say touched on this a little bit Uh, uh, but I wanted to bring in Uh, you know more clarity So when we talk about the prophetic Um, and the gifts of of the Spirit there are four Gifts that we list from the list that I mentioned earlier First Corinthians 12 there are four gifts Which for the sake of our convenience and our understanding we classify under the prophetic anointing now Don't get too technical because the point is not technicality. The point is just ease of understanding Okay, so Now these four gifts, you know, uh, they may flow Together maybe two Happened together or three happened together all four happened together. Our point is not to figure out. Okay Just now whatever a particular individual said is it gift one gift two gift three gift four It doesn't matter as long as there has been a manifestation Of the spirit through the gifts and it has built up the body of christ built up another believer So our our motive our focus is only that You know, god is glorified people are blessed. So that's the whole point but for our understanding Whenever we talk about the prophetic anointing the gifts that we refer to are What we also know Call as the revelatory gifts. So the revelatory gifts would be word of wisdom Word of wisdom means And again These gifts are not an acquired skill Okay, instead they are Um, you know, it's like a grace which is imparted So you we can't train anyone in developing You know, this this this particular skill of having the word of wisdom or having the uh word of knowledge or things like that So it it comes from god and we look at the examples later. So one would be the uh gift of the word of wisdom word of wisdom is Being able to provide guidance Solution to somebody's problem Okay, not out of our logic, but you know while we're praying for someone you suddenly it just comes to you like I see this this this happening Like solomon remember, uh, but again, you know, solomon you could say that uh, uh some extent of acquired knowledge and all he had but We are primarily talking about the wisdom that's imparted by the spirit of god to us in those moments Where you don't even know what to say, but then here you are providing a solution or a direction And it works out. So that is the word of wisdom. So basically it's a solution Then the gift of the word of knowledge word of knowledge is to have a piece of information which You you know, normally you can't have because you don't know a certain person But when you're praying for them, you're suddenly saying things like, you know, I I see that you have done this or you've done that You went here. You went there It's coming from god. Okay, so that is a word of knowledge. That is information Having supernatural information. The third one Is the discerning of spirits discerning of spirits is to have Uh, uh, you know, like have a sense of What kind of spirit you're dealing with if it's a human being like Jesus looked at Nathaniel and said Here is a man without any guile.  You know, he is not making firm decisions He did not uh, stay faithful to Jesus At the time of his crucifixion But then you see the life that he led after he was filled with the holy spirit No, he became one of those solid rocks of the early church But Jesus discerned it earlier and he said you are Simon. You are seafers. You know, you are the rock So discerning of spirits and this can also be operational When it comes to uh, you know dealing with demon spirits and ministering deliverance and your ministering You don't know what kind of spirits are binding an individual but By the holy spirit through the operation of the gifts of the spirit. We recognize. Oh, okay This is a spirit of fear. I come against your spirit of fear in the name of Jesus I take authority and cast you out. I command you to come out of this person in the name of Jesus So the discerning of spirits and notice all these are revelatory or they bring Some sort of an understanding to us outside of our natural realm Okay, so they are revelatory gifts and in addition to that we add the gift of prophecy All four of these are revelatory gifts and you know, it's it's a Like a package uh in the prophetic realm that Help us manifest the work of God. Okay. Uh, we've run out of time. I'll have to stop right here But we'll pick up from this uh tomorrow and request someone to please close with the word of prayer, please Okay, anyone who can Okay, man. Would you be able to? I'm sorry Okay, can I pray? Yeah, yeah, okay The precious precious father we thank you and praise you father god We humble ourselves and father god we pray That every word what we received of father god let it deeply rooted in our heart of god We pray that father that everything what we learned today each one of us for god Let it be protected under the blood of jesus and he pray that father that we grow in this gift of father god So that we can edify the church We can able to lord build the kingdom We can use this gift as a tool as a weapon Lord master to build the church to build the nation build the city lord master To establish the power and the glory of the kingdom of god in the nations of father god We thank you father god for your anointed servant. Thank you father god We ask you strengthen her more so that she can be used powerfully for your kingdom of god Thank you for everything what you revealed to us for god through the power of the holy spirit I give you all the glory on her and praises in jesus name. We pray amen. Thank you pastor Amen. Amen. Thank you shri kumar. Thank you everyone. Have a blessed day. We'll meet tomorrow Again in class. Take care. Thank you pastor. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. Thank you everyone

If there is a certain burst of incoming user and it's much beyond the server capacity, we can only say sorry to pass to some of user to protect our system, except for total outage. You may ask, if there is a lot of user using Engine X, using Engine X for ways limiting is enough. Why you have to make so a lot of work? I can only tell you that our company, although it's major business, it's a streaming platform, but there is a lot of mini games in our apps. User can pay a mini game for 30 minutes. You can imagine that if you start a game at certain time, you cannot connect to our server because of ways limiting.  And it's during ways limiting, instead of performing from client to random user, we allow existing user to continue their game while blocking the new user, translate to technical requirement, when we use the access token to distinguish the user. When we found that the total number of active using access token is more than X, the server will enter system filtering mode. In system filtering mode, we will perform a check-in for all requests. If that access token has been used in the previous 30 minutes, we consider this access token is used by existing user and we allow it. With the access token, it's not used in previously 30 minutes. We simply block it and return all 29 to many requests. Here is our visual approach. It's definitely fair, but I want to show you as an example of how to use threatless incorrectly. First, to know if an access token is used in previously 30 minutes, a very, very simple solution is we use that access token as a key and store it in threatless and set the TTL 30 minutes. If the system filtering mode, we just check if that access token has corresponding key and exists in threatless and resorted home. But this approach has a quick problem is we are unable to tell what is the number of active access token in our server. And this another problem is the key value in threatless has much higher memory footprint than hash set. And this we use hash set instead of key value to store such key web access token in threatless. You can use this example. You can see that in every 30 minutes, we create a hash set. If there is a new access token coming into our system, we put the access token into the hash set we are currently using, for example, data. The access token takes its last usage time as the timestamp. And if the system suddenly jumps from normal mode to system footprint mode, when we receive an access token, we just need to check the current hash set and the pbsf hash set and see if this hash set has usage within the previous 30 minutes. It's simple, but it takes it. Why is fail? System filtering is why we want to perform system filtering. We perform system filtering is to protect our internal server controller against the burst of traffic. But in the re-seal approach, every request during system filtering, he needs to ask for the threatless if such access token has appeared, has used in pbsf 30 minutes. The, I repeat, it's why we want to perform system filtering because the burst is totally unpredictable. If we allow all the traffic to go into our back end, our back end will crash and result in outage. And this, we need some mechanism to protect our internal back end component, for example, threatless elastic search, the MongoDB base, my signal, against such traffic. And this, why re-seal is a fail-up? It's a fail-design because it needs to access the threatless for every request during the system footprint mode. And it will result in a crash in the threatless. And another, which problem is? Because the threatless in the threatless cluster environment, although you can have a lot of load in the threatless cluster, but one threat is only stored in one threatless loop. It means that during the system footprint, all of such traffic will jump into one threatless cluster loop, and it will result in a crash spot. Such, although in the threatless cluster, others will be normal, but in that threatless cluster, in the loop that's stored in the headset, it will be over-programmed with a lot of traffic, and case outage. And this is the reason that we are currently using. First, I repeat our goal. First, threatless is one of our key components in the back end. It must be protected against such threat of traffic. It means that no matter the 2DS, our threatless must be protected from such threat of traffic. And we need a mechanism to understand if our SS2 can have been used with PPS 30 million, without SS of threatless. And this, we need to use local memory to store such SS2 traffic. But everyone knows, in application service, the local memory is not unlimited. And this, we need some constant local memory mechanism. Same mission impossible. My boss always won. My boss always won ship, server fee, but it seems impossible. But it's possible with home filter data structure. I want to introduce what is home filter data structure. It has constant memory usage. If you create the home filter data structure with your PDP data memory usage, and this data structure, you can add a string into that data structure. And then you can test if that string has existed in that data structure. However, you know there is constant memory usage. It means that there must be a trade-off. Constant memory usage means that there is a time with positive. I will discuss more about it later. And one of the key important features is the home filter supports approximate time. Although it's not an acceptable algorithm, but it can tell you the approximate number of items within that data structure. And finally, it supports merging. The merging of two home filter data structures is very, very fast. Why home filter is so helpful? First, the false positive is controlled in a low wage. It's not important because, for example, if your server capacity can support 10,000 users, supporting 10,000 and extra 100,000, it's not a matter to our server. And one key point is the server capacity is a PDP fighter number. And in home filter, the false positive number is helped by our server. The memory footprint we stuck in the beginning. It means that we can give large in large memory calculated by our server side capacity. And this, we can always keep the false positive within a suitable number in our system. And here is the R1 simplified architecture. You can see that there is a lot of application server. Previously, I have mentioned that home filter is stored in local memory of every application server. And these days are helpful. If user A go into the server one, we need a mechanism to synchronize that SS token to all of the application server. Otherwise, if we just go into the server one and in the next 10 minutes, we go into the server x. It will be false positive because it is not synchronized. And this, what is the role of Reddes here? Reddes is a place of synchronized storage. In every second, the application server will try to perform a sync operation. In the sync operation, it just get master copy in the Reddes and try to merge the master copy to the local copy. And then after merging, it will put back the merged copy back into the Reddes. And this, if our SS token is added in one machine, after two seconds, it will be populated to all of our application servers. Then ask, why we use Reddes instead of other components? One key point is almost every back end, they use Reddes as hash. It means that if we use Reddes as a centralized storage, we have no external back end component. No back end component means that no special approval from our boss. And one more important is no extra approval from our SLE team. I should not disclose too much. One important point is previously, I do not tell you what is exactly stored in the Reddes. But you can see that in every second, every application server will try to synchronize its local copy with the Reddes master. Then there is a race function. In order to avoid the race condition, automatic lock is used to protect against race condition. This, instead of just using a key value to store the own filter content, we use a hash set instead. In the hash set, the race is the content of the boom filter. And the time, the TS, the time-same-film is used for automatic lock. It means that every application server will try to grab the master copy to merge with the local copy and back-sync to the Reddes. If the time-same is failed, then it will grab the master copy again to retry the operation. Because we need to use the automatic lock hang, automatic lock hang, one of the key points is check and set. So we need to do a script to write such operation. But it's very simple to do. In our application server, there is thousands of incoming requests in every second. Every second, you try to read and write to the boom filter local memory. This, we need to use the read-write lock for the current concurrency control in the application server. The read-write lock allows us to perform multi-fractional tests because test is a read operation and single-fractional test operation. To further speed up the performance, the update of the boom filter is deferred. Why? Because in every request, the request do not need to wait for the boom filter to be completed before it returns back to the client. And our application server is writing in Go language. In Go language, there is a data structure called for the channel for all new SS token. The request will just put the SS token into that channel.  I can see that some of you is currently performing a video on the boom filter data structure. And you may wonder that there is F operation in boom filter, but there is no x5 operation and no td operation in boom filter. And how can we resolve it? Instead of recreating another boom filter and publishing it as paper, we do not have enough time. And this will perform a still but direct disclosure. I think everyone here used it the next window as your server. OK. I think everyone knows what is log rotation. Log rotation means that, for example, Apache will write a lot of logs. And every day, we delete the oldest log file and create a new one for current day. And it's called log rotation. The log rotation approach can also apply on the boom filter. And this, instead, in our local application server, instead of this boom filter object, we create 30 boom filter objects. And in every second, we remove the oldest boom filter object and we create a new one. And this, and this, and this, and this. If our boom, if our boom, if our boom, if our access token has not been used in 30 minutes, it will finally be removed in such a way of boom filter. And one more key point is the access token is added to the latest boom filter. And this, not all the boom filter needs to be synchronized with RedDesk. Only the currently using one needs to be synchronized with the RedDesk. Here is our V1 architecture in detail. You can see that in RedDesk, there is a lot of boom filter. And only the last one, the current one, the using one, is synchronized with multiple application server. The V1 approach, some foot on the table. And it fell during our peak hours. Why? Our application server has, you know, will scale up and scale down according to our number of requests. And this during the peak hour, we open a lot of talk, we open a lot of talk content for application server. And this, the application server, all of the application server, we try to synchronize with RedDesk. And one key point about the optimization law, is that the synchronized contract increases exponentially with the application server number. And this, once the application server number increases, and finally, a lot of things will fail because it grab from the RedDesk and the rest as master copy is updated by other application server and resulted in fail. And this, it needs to grab again. And finally, because of such a contract, application server will retry, retry, and retry, and resulted in abnormal, high bandwidth usage. And in v1.1.1, we just update slightly. On the automatic log algorithm, we perform a give up because we do not have enough time to rewrite everything. It means that the application server will still try to grab the master copy from RedDesk and merge with local copy. But if found the contract, it means the master copy, when it tries to upload it back to the server, if the master copy is modified by other application server, it will give up and stop the upload. Is it truly meta? No, because the thing is done in every second. Even one or two iterations will fail. But the local copy will eventually sometime upload back into the RedDesk master copy. So it doesn't really matter. It doesn't matter. If your system, your app will request you to access the RedDesk for a similar thing, it's a horribly bad idea.  Similarly, before the age of 3WT, the access token is random strength. It means that a random string access token, how we can hope is a rated access token, we will check it with either RedDesk or MySQL to check if that random string is issued by our server. However, it is a weakness to be exploited by CDOS. Because in CDOS, I do not need to. If I do not use the 3WT, I use random string for access token. The acceptor, he can generate a lot of requests and do not need to lock in the system. And every request will try to access the RedDesk to know if it is a access token generated by our system. It is not good. And when key pointers, RedDesk has normally the performance bound is membrane or network IO. However, be careful of the hotspot. If there is a hotspot, some of the nodes in your RedDesk cluster will have 110 usage and case break trouble. And one key point is many web-developed parts, they will say that, oh, we can use some library to write some beautiful website. Oh, this, we do not need to pay attention to university cost and do not need to pay attention to algorithm or data structure. I can show you that. No, absolutely no. BUNFIL data structure is caused by 10 years ago by university professor. If I do not pay attention to that university cost, I will unable to fulfill my forced requirement. More fought. In the realm of high QPS, consistency is sometimes sacrificed for performance. You can see that in our room through the solution, there is some force possible. However, it doesn't matter. And if your system is woven and woven, you may need to consider some trade-off between consistency and performance. And one key point is efficient use of local membrane is the key of high performance. I cannot disclose our character algorithm in our application. However, I can tell you that a lot of requests is fulfilled by local membrane in our application server. Because if we do not use the local code, the data used by a lot of users will become a hotspot in the rest of the test start and resulted in performance deviation or even crash in the rest of the test tunnel. There's a lot of time. And this, I want to show you some extra things in our company. In our company, our F-lang page uses a Nitterbot. The Nitterbot will show the users the top 2,000 users score. And the score usually there is only the increase. The only decrease is we found some user is cheated within a time or we roll back their score. However, it's very, very abnormal case. V1 solution is convenient and will be used by a lot of application developers. The Nitterbot invades a data structure for sort of set. The V1 solution, we use the sort of set and store the user ID as the key and the score as the score in the sort of set. And this, to get the top 2,000 user, we can perform the get by range operation in that sort of set. It's very convenient and is even our whole. And finally, our sort of go crash again, because there is hotspot enough in our Redis cluster. Why? Why? Not just because of re-operation. Re-operation can be reduced by use of local memory. But one key point is big. After user have finished a game, they need to update their new score in that sort of set. It means that sort of set will become a single calling of all user activities. And it resulted in serious hotspot. In virtual algorithm, in high performance, we need to sacrifice something. Instead of storing all items to all users, we only store the top 2,000 items only. Why is it important? Because the update or get operation is adopted in all operations. Stolenness items in a sort of set will obviously improve the performance. This set is still a hotspot problem. But because of every update and every cost less time done, then the system performance has improved a lot. And the drop-back of virtual compatibility if we found there is a user treatment and that user is the top 2,000 user. The whole list need to be rebuilt from our main database. Because if there is a user treatment, there is no longer 2,000 records in that sort of set. And of course, we need to fill in the data from our main database, which is very costly. But it really happened. And then to truly solve the hotspot problem if you want to save it. Instead of storing the data as one key value component, we store the data into a data shape. And every data shape has only the top 2,000. The data shape is saved by user ID. We perform an MB5 hash on the user ID and then modified H. We use the remaining lambda to determine which shape it should be put into. And each shape has only the top 4,000 user. In every request, in the read request, we will simply get the data from all the H shapes and then perform a short time in the application server.  And finally, I cannot disclose the number, but after we save it into a big enough number, it will resolve the problem. And instead of using sort of set, we use hash set. Because update and hash set is big O1, the update and sort of set is big O log n. And this is the performance of update in Chris Masterson. And after we get the result sorted, sort of leaderboard, it will put the result into energy. Where does key value for catcher? Here is some home exercise, if for you. Of course, everyone here, I think you know what is MQ and Ruby MQ, but in some case, we do not need to perform a for-tolerant key operation. Can we use the redness to perform some task key operation with task priority? I repeat, sort of set should be our work in all course because it involves log n operation. There's n of my presentation. I know my English is poor and I'm too nervous. Hopefully, I wish you can get something from my presentation. And I will put the slide in my key hub, I can't. You can search Triton Hold in GitHub. And if you have any questions, want to ask me, you can search Triton Hold in Facebook. And my profile is this one. This one is not a work, it's a handout. That's all. Thank you.


Recently, the phase section of the 114th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron decided to look within themselves to improve shop efficiency. The theory of constraints basically looks at efficiencies and how the processes you already have in place. So when you break down how you're doing your day-to-day operation, you're looking for little things that you can change to improve your entire process. In the aircraft business, our mission is to fly airplanes. Everyone thinks that those hours come smooth and every plane is capable of doing that mission. But when you break things down, there's little areas to improve that we can increase our fleet's health in general. We looked at a lot of things that we do that take hours or days to complete. And we talked about is there ways that we can improve how we document it, how we proceed with the process itself. So every time we produce more flying hours, we're increasing the amount of aircraft availability for the pilots to choose from. And any time that we have more aircraft available, that allows us more flexibility in our scheduling process. When we have better scheduling flexibility, we have better mission capability. So it all just ties in hand-in-hand with our capability as a unit. The method proved to be fruitful for the shop as they increased production of aircraft hours by 42%. I'm Tech Sergeant Luke Olson reporting from Joefoss Field, South Dakota.


Hey guys, it's Brandon creative happily dressed a fashion blog dedicated to self-acceptance self-confidence and self-sufficiency and welcome back to my channel So I get tons of questions on my Instagram about When did I start sewing? How did I start sewing? How to get better at sewing so I decided to make a whole video about my sewing experience How I first started and show you guys some cool things that made along the way So I believe I purchased my sewing machine back in January of this year It was kind of just a push because I thrift all the time And sometimes I'm in a thrift store and I'll see something that's like maybe an inch or two inches too big for me especially pants and I would just think it would be so much better if I knew how to alter my own clothes So because of that I decided to take a leap of faith and purchase a sewing machine and teach myself how to sew honestly YouTube is my answer for everything. I've learned everything about photography. Maybe not thrifting but photography and sewing I've learned from YouTube I've watched a lot of like with Wendy and some other smaller sewing YouTube channels Just to kind of figure out the basics of my sewing machine How what kind of stitches there are and like what stitch is best for what material and things like that it's always a learning process There's like no one who like knows it all each day is like a day to learn a new technique or a new type of I don't know something So I started back in January and at first I only use my sewing machine to alter my pants So take them in and after I started to feel more comfortable with my sewing machine I embarked on bigger endeavors like creating things from scratch. I would never forget the first day I decided to transform a jacket into a cool bag. I've shown you guys that bag before I made a car heart gene like tote thing out of a car heart jacket and then I stopped sewing for a little bit I think I was just really busy with photography and working in school and then about a month or so ago I had this great idea to make a dickies bag out of a size 34 pair of red dickies that I thrifted I haven't even deconstructed the whole pair of pants yet, but I've made four dickies bags out of them I'm about to show you guys now. I'm super proud of these bags. I will be selling them very soon But before I sold them I wanted to go and make a video about them first because I am very happy with the turnout They have a lining so now I'm just gonna show you the very first one. I made I'm wearing now to kind of show you guys What it looks like I'm just gonna stand up because it's easier, but basically it's like a belt bag I'm gonna sit on my stool But it's a belt bag that you can like put your phone in put your keys in but it just stays right there. I got this trim from Joann's started to a hook that I also bought from Joann's and then I used some spare fabric to add Little clips on the side. It has dickies on the front. I saw the logo on the very front There's white stitching around the side. There's even a lining on the inside It was an old t-shirt that I didn't wear anymore But I sold that down. I don't know if you can tell but yeah, I sold that down into the bag and honestly, I'm so Stoked with how this turned out the fact that I like even made this and created this. I was so shocked. I was like, oh my god I'm capable I made this and then I always skip the last two belt loops that kind of hangs lower And just clip it in and then there you go When I'm out and about I use it to just hold my keys in my phone Especially like when my pants don't have pockets It's so cool. So nifty and no one else has something like this So after I made the first one, you know, it's pretty hyped to make another one So this time I made the same kind of bag but with a different color strap This one's a navy blue strap to match the navy blue and the dickies logo and then also the lining of this one It's different. It's like a green hawaiian shirt that I never wore anymore I don't know if you can see that detail, but it has like leaf like a leaf pattern On there, which is really cool. I love the green the red and the blue together I think it really compliments the color scheme of the logo itself So super happy about that. So after I made that one, I thought I'd try a different concept and make a belt loop clip bag Hopefully let me show you what it is will help explain it better. But basically it's a different version of the same bag This one only holds like smaller items. I mean still a phone Steer your keys, but it's just like a skinnier build It has the same lining as the gold bag But basically these two clips which I got from An old laptop bag These two clips go on your belt loop I designed that one based off this bigger Guest bag that I made and actually I made this bag before I made any of the dickies bags. So basically this guy Clips right here on your belt loop and it can just hang there, which is really cool I made this one from old jeans that didn't fit me anymore. They were way too small So I was like, why not make a bag out of them? These are also from a laptop bag that I thrifted from value village But basically I sold it to the sides. It also has a lining of that gold shirt. I have used that gold shirt up It is all gone now, but then on the back. I went ahead and painted my Instagram name. I thought it was really cool So this one I'm not selling obviously because it is mine and it has my instagram handle on the back of it But I love this bag so much and actually wear it a lot if I'm not wearing the dickies bags I made this belt loop bag too out of some out of your og Cacky dickies and then the lining of this guy is hawaiian as well From like a hawaiian shirt that I thrifted and actually I took this one on a recent shoot that I did To hold my spare lens so that way I wouldn't have to run back to my That way I wouldn't have to run back to my camera bag and it was so Extremely helpful. This one will also be for sale Look on my instagram for more details about that and if you're curious about how I did it I made an instagram tutorial about how I made this bag So it will be in the story highlights of my instagram. You can definitely go check that out if you want to I had a lot of fun making this it was like 2 a.m in the morning and I was like why not make a bag So I did I'm honestly so impressed with myself. The first step is buying a sewing machine The second step is just experimenting with it Sewing things deconstructing things making things into other things and just having a good time I know when I made my first dickies bag when I have more right now I just wanted to create a bag and there were definitely a lot of failed attempts I actually still have a bag a denim bag in my I have like a box full of Just random stuff that I want to either repurpose or remake into something But I tried to make a denim bag at first and it was horrible. I failed completely It's still unfinished and I don't think I'm ever gonna finish it But you'll definitely fail a few times But the best way to get better at sewing is just to keep sewing. I hope you guys enjoyed this video I just wanted to come on here and have an honest talk with you about my sewing experience When I started and kind of where I've been progressing since I really hope to make more dickies bags and obviously I'm not just gonna make dickies bags my whole time Who knows what I'm gonna sew next But I think it's really cool to have a concept in your head and to create it whether that be through sewing or photography That's kind of what I love to do. So I wanted to share that with you guys Let me know what you think about these bags. Would you buy one comment down below? Don't be rude And actually if you do want to purchase any of these, I will be selling them on my instagram very soon So just make sure you're following me check my stories because that's where I will update people on where I'll be selling them at But that is it for this week's video. I like being consistent. I like this Posting videos when I'm supposed to thing. It feels really good. So if I'm fortunate enough to have you stick around Make sure you hit that subscribe button down below and I will see you guys in my next video. See you guys later


Ah, I should have feared. I should have feared out of the silence, I'm bad. I was greedy. Fuck, the aim fell off, man, no! What's this damage, dude? Oh, we just died to noobs, as always.   That Wario Palo game, when I didn't get the fear out of that silence. Like, fucking, what is this four different Wario Palos keying or some shit? Degenerate Sent, or something, right? Nice here to fear. Okay, they used rep pods, I'm pushing in. This was the correct push for me. PS maybe was overkill, maybe didn't need to PS. PS was not good. Ah, I can't even remember what I'm ringing right now. No, I'm currently not ringing. Oh, that's naughty. Naughty. Dude, I just got so much burn value as well. What was that?  I swear. What about the shield? It's good. Gets the death. It's an unlucky flare. Should be fine. Both Camero's crit and the water shot. This is dying from air, man. Fuck's sake, I wanted to empty here so badly. That's probably the game.


Dear students, in this module, we are going to talk about the population and its remedial measures or solutions. So we have recently been discussing a lot more about the social issues and one of the issues is the population growth or overpopulation. However, solution cannot be materialized in a very ready-made way. We need to find the strategies. Those strategies should be all-encompassing, rather comprehensive approach needs to be adopted in order to curb these manas for Pakistani society. So let's see what can be the way forward in order to control our population issues. The population control or management. This should be the first question. As you know that we are fortunate enough to have a very productive population of very younger ages or younger age groups. We have lesser dependent population and more chunk of productive population. So this can equally has the potential of being converted into the opportunity rather than being a problem for the society. The high birth rate should be discouraged in order to reduce the population size because the higher the birth rate is, the higher would be chances to have a larger chunk of population. And then the effective and successful family planning should be introduced. In the past we have been observing a lot of family planning programs which have been considered ineffective because of the certain issues like corruption and also some resistance from society from an ideological point of view. So we need to carefully design those family planning programs by keeping in view not only the ideological ethos of the society but also the behaviors of the people that what can be the acceptable and effective mechanism for them to adopt these family planning programs. More contraceptives should also be introduced both for male as well as for female. And then we need to have better education and awareness programs because the effective awareness programs can produce a very positive effect on lowering down the population's growth rate. For example, US based population media center gets very creative to reach to women especially. So we can also introduce such kinds of programs like they used radio soap operas which feature culturally specific stories about the reproductive issues and have been heard by as many as like 500 million people in all most 50 countries. And similarly in Ethiopia, 63% of women were seeking reproductive health services and they reported to tuning into these soap opera programs. So by keeping in view those cultural interests of our population, we can also introduce such educating programs both by electronic media as well as through internet. Tax incentives can be another positive factor which can lower down our population's growth rate. Tax policies related to tax exemption can be introduced in order to curb the overpopulation and lowering the rate of income tax for example for those married couples who have the lesser children's can be one of the incentives based better strategies in order to curb down the population growth rate. As we witness that the UK charity which calls the population matters are just government to promote the responsible parenthood which means that subsidies should be limited to the first two children unless the family is living in poverty. So we can also introduce such kinds of policies which can incentivize the population growth rate by saying that we would exempt those families from the tax those who are producing lesser children and then women empowerment can also become a contributing factor because the studies show that the women with the access to reproductive health services find it easier to break out of poverty and while those who work are more likely to use the birth control. You see that the women who are in the employment who are in the professional fields are having lesser children as compared to those women who are in the domestic who are engaged in the domestic household chores. So younger women must be educated to be the advocates for their reproductive rights and also we need to promote the family planning programs by simply educating men and women about the contraception use can have a big impact. For example when Iran introduced a national family planning program in 1989 its fertility rate fell from 5.6 births per woman to 2.6 merely in a decade. So as you can see that if a family planning program is effectively introduced to the population it can have a significant impact on the population. So a similar effort in Rwanda saw a threefold increase in the contraceptive usage merely during the five years of campaign.


Hello, everybody. Thank you very much. I am holding you up before your food, but I want to go for a couple of things But some tie-ins earlier listening to Heather speak Love talk about mushrooms for those you don't know I believe we live under the world's largest microorganism which yields us some of the best water That's why the breweries wineries are here. Our food systems awesome. And I love educating people about food so a couple things that we have this is a Keep it in true faith of Portland. So one concept we have Urban farmer the other concept is called departure and we do a lot of Collaboration with other folks, but we also educate I think one of the biggest things about food is food transparency and not really understanding where our food comes from and Food is personal. So we don't necessarily tell people how to eat or what to eat I just feel like showing people different avenues to grow food is very important One of our ecosystems that we kind of built out as a fun little infographic We did earlier this year for Earth Day But we talked about some of the things that we do in the building to try to do our part I mean, we don't do everything perfect. We make mistakes all the time, but we just try to Offer people opportunities to see what you can do and how not to waste foods it and how to grow food What else to how to use bees? Some fun collaborations. I think maybe about four or five years ago. I met I Moved here about six years ago and I think my first year in I was able to meet Shashi who was an early presenter And we kind of had this idea of how do we educate people about? food As far as like a cow using a cow as an example. So what we did is we kind of We 3d printed a cow is called crowd cow and now there is actually a company now called crowd cow to Seattle actually raise some capital and they're actually doing beef share, but we Along with Shashi and several other people from the three-pointed community. We printed this cow. We gave a presentation I believe with it was like in between uber and the mayor about four years ago at Omsie was kind of interesting We were like these these interesting people with those big three printed of life-sized cow talking I think we got like two or three minutes, but It was a fun project and we did as we just kind of talked about what a cow is what a cow does How it relates to reprinting and then what a cow actually gives for for a restaurant use so we just use case scenario During the time we've also been done a lot of other things with 3d printing We 3d printed like coffee grounds So we did like a Turkish coffee that the kanji means departure so that we 3d printed like a Turkish coffee We've done ice cubes. I did not I consulted with my friends from the NBA and that is not licensed By the way, that's that there's a lot of problems with NBA sponsorship. So that's just something we did ourselves You need people to help and you need to teach people and kids So I think here's a collaboration of our rooftop garden. We've got I think ten different planter boxes five beehives a lot of Wonderful staff There's myself and some of the chefs and some of kids at biblical schools teaching kids how to grow food Now we're gonna get into some interesting stuff Here's a kind of some space in the hotel that kind of his vision my first moved here and actually is coming together But we created a lab where we have food grown in three different ways And it's hard to see but it's infographics on the left hand side You'll see aquaponics in the middle. You see hydroponics on the right. You'll see aeroponics and one of the teams I mentor over at PSU. It's called next guard and they have their unit here So if you were to see the movie the Martian, it's kind of like how you would do food in space So people are doing it. That's kind of what we're working on there Then we also have some three printers. We have a glow forage printer So it's a little bit like a lot of information in there But we keep it open source for all of our staff or we do tours all the time. It's definitely a word-of-mouth thing I mean people come to urban from our departure because of the brand is not necessarily the garden we have down below So here's why I started like getting really excited when I first moved to Oregon It was like some of the problems we have so right now We need to produce 70% more food for additional 2.3 billion people by 2050. We're maxing out land area Deforestation, de-certification are major issues while GMOs hold the answer to commodities that scale the Netherlands They've become the number two exporter of food, flour, medicine using 25,000 acres under glass in a very tiny land area Anyone know that? I learned that a couple years ago just amazing things that they're doing out there so Through some collaboration and just meetings interesting people over the years I think one of those solutions is you know using you know better design with AI You know creates an intelligent overlay that scientists and workers can benefit from an Augmented on-brain system that gives them the superpowers to explore and optimize their surroundings less hours per day more innovation faster breeding times seven Seven to ten years for tomatoes for five to six years for potatoes See companies want to speed up the process with machine learning So that we can now combat new challenges that will rise with a growing population and climate volatility So several years ago. I kind of got looped in with a gentleman named Caleb Harper who is Unbelievable. He just got written up. I think on Friday in Irish times about Kind of distill this information. I'm giving on how food production is really changing He's been on I think 60 minutes twice in the past month and a half So that's a lab that's in Middleton, Massachusetts So it's an old physics accelerator and he he left Cambridge and moved to Middleton and kind of built the lab out there And they're growing perennials. So the picture on the right that's cotton So they partner well-spun largest in cotton company of India to grow cotton indoors And now this is some stuff. I'm really excited about I think is really relative to today's conversation This is a company name. It's called Huxley the IO the Netherlands and a lot of this stuff here is more It's this is a picture of cannabis food growing, but it's it really is augmented reality and showing people live pictures of When foods grow on the pH phenotyping all kinds of information, but it really You know, they're the first to develop the world's first augment operating system and just the beginning so they are doing a lot of Really provocative stuff in the food space Is a teleprompter keep it up me. I'm speaking fast. Sorry Next slide Another what they do plant vision. So this is a FLIR camera. I think that's my FLIR piece But they're using just really any what they can do is like uberization Farming so what would take years like 70 years using arable land with using AI you could everyone could be a Hyper farmer and like a 50-minute crash course Some other stuff. I don't know if anyone's seen this iron ox They're in the Bay area. I got a lot of funding recently they just kind of launched this so this is a Robot using all AI just growing picking the food. So kind of model cropping Here's another company farm bot. This is fun. I think some of us in here played around with this we have this It was at my office now. It's off-campus now. It's at a high school It's at the Crest program for Westland Wilsonville high schools The kids are using it to help we were trying to hack a little bit. So it's Not over arable land but over a aeroponic growing system too And then we were working with the extruder to figure out the compost We can kind of bring the worm tea back into the into the compost And then this is last slide so this is with light so using LED lighting You know, you could change the seed so same genetic seed Changing the spectrum of light you can actually start changing the nutrient density of the food Which is really really fascinating. So essentially like taking a tomato and growing a organic Tomato same seed but increasing the vitamin C content by about 10 times And be able to feed people around the world who don't have access to all this stuff aside from just commodity crops And then that's just a little picture of like a fantasy land I have a 13,000 square feet below the hotel that we started kind of building out like a clean room I think I've borrowed some of Shashi's help from Intel and We're trying to grow this thing out in our blow the basement That's my Kind of operation and then we have some food out there for you. Thank you very much

I'm Ernie Bauer, Senior Advisor and Director of the Southeast Asia Program here at CSIS, and I'd like to welcome our special guest today, the Secretary of Finance of the Philippines and a good friend, Cesar París, and a welcome. Thank you, Ernie. You're here for the IMF World Bank meetings, is that right? I'm all others. Okay. Look, there's some really exciting things happening in the Philippines these days, and I'm not sure our business community, our policy community is aware of it. Could you tell us some of the key thrusts that are happening in the Philippines right now? Well, we're definitely very excited because for once we have a president that has a mandate, that has the credibility, and was elected with the largest mandate ever of a Philippine president, and therefore doesn't have the handicap of a previous Philippine president. And here's a very simple agenda. He wants to make sure that we reduce poverty in the Philippines, that every Filipino gets an opportunity to actualize their dreams. And to do that, he wants to increase the growth rate of the Philippines, bring it to a higher level. Very few people know, Ernie, that the Philippines has had 51 continuous quarters of growth since the Asian crisis, even through the global economic crisis, but our challenge is that our population is also growing rapidly, averaging around 2.1 to 2.2 percent. And therefore we must grow on average at least 6 to 7 percent, and that's a challenge. And to grow at that rate, we need to address the things that has held us back. And if you want me to go through it, Ernie. I think it would be really good, because I think the issue that people had about the Philippines, there was a question about governance. There was a question about being able to invest and really carry forward. Are you addressing that with your team? Well, that's what President Kino wants to address, the three things. Of course, there are others, but the three major ones are governance and corruption, infrastructure, gap and lack in some cases, and some policies that are really misdirected. On governance, his election, I think, has been a very big step. Obviously, the fight against corruption won't be one big event or one big case. It will be a journey. But we've already started the journey, we've pointed the right direction. In fact, on my part of that process, we file the cases every week against tax evaders, against mugglers, against corrupt government officials. And we just now have to work with our court system to make sure that these people are given a fair trial, and if guilty, are convicted. The second is infrastructure. We live in a very global environment where national boundaries are blurring, where the important thing is to be part of a global supply chain of products. And to be part of that, you must have the right infrastructure. And our infrastructure needs to be upgraded. Third is the policies. So you may have the right infrastructure, but if your policies are inward looking, then again, you won't be able to participate completely. It sounds very good. I think the framework that you've developed is terrific. What are three or four areas where American investors, American companies, would be welcome to participate as you go on this journey? Well, first, Ernie, I'd like to remind everyone that the Philippines and the U.S. of us have a very special historical relationship. And we'd like to nurture that into the future. Very few people know that we were a former colony, almost became a state of the U.S. But the feeling, the goodwill in the Philippines for the U.S. is very deep. There's lots of opportunities for American companies. On infrastructure, President Aquino has launched a very ambitious, private public partnership. Focus on building infrastructure in transportation, in energy, in food supply chain. All designed to make us more competitive. We've rationalized the process so that it is more transparent, that it's all through bidding. And that the terms and the sharing of the risk between the public and the private sector is done with assistance of international and unknown consultants who can actually properly advise us to make sure that it's through win-win. So will you take unsolicited bids or will you actually propose or have solicited bids where you say, look, this is what we need and come in and invest? The preference is solicited because it's more transparent. And this is a big change from the past. Although we will also welcome unsolicited that offer or bring unique technologies. But that would be the exception rather than the rule. The other thing that we're going to change is the approval process. President Aquino is guaranteeing six months approval for projects that are properly bidded out and that documentation is complete. The other thing that has changed is the financing environment. The depth of the PESO market, especially on the longer end, has dramatically improved. So infrastructure investments can partly be funded in PESOs so that there's better matching now of the revenue and the cost. The Americans are getting back on the front foot on trade with this Trans-Pacific Partnership. A lot of people ask, would the Philippines join TPP? What's the answer? Well, President Aquino, our Secretary of Trade, has indicated that we are definitely interested. It's obviously not just up to us, it's up to the members of the TPP agro-pation. We believe there are requirements. The Philippines is committed to addressing some of the issues that have been raised. We believe in free trade. That's been shown by the impact of our overseas workers in our economy, the impact of our electronics industry that produces over 10% of the world's semiconductors, our BPO industry, which is now second. And in fact, in several categories, the best in the world. It's grown from nothing. Twelve years ago, an industry that contributes over $10 billion in value to our country. Well, I have to say, we're really excited about the new team led by you and the President. And we're honored that you'd spend some time talking to us about it today. Thank you for joining us here today. Well, yeah, thank you, Ernie, for giving me this opportunity. And I'd like to invite everyone to come visit us. We're just there in the South China Sea and the Pacific. And the other edge of the remote fire across the Pacific is just one slip away. So do come visit. Thank you very much. OK, thank you, Ernie. Thanks. Thank you.
