For this last session, I want to thank Doc so much, for this last session, we just want to answer a question, how can we deal with the issue of cheating, how can you tool yourself to deal with it once and for all? I was the opinion, Pasta said it, I thought it was on, I will have titled it, I give it a commercial caption, which is family, future and fortune, it is well. But if you ask the direct topic it to be, I broke my vow, is there any hope? Let me ask the church again. How many persons are ready for this session? Let me see the hand. Let's bow down heads, let's pray briefly. Father in heaven, the members want to study briefly before we close. It's a very sensitive topic. Many people don't want to talk about it. As you give us practical guide, may we end this week long program with hope that we can be victorious in Jesus' name, amen. I'm skipping every introduction. The Bible says marriage should be honored by all. How many people should honor marriage according to the text? Let me hear you, how many people must honor marriage and the marriage bed kept pure? How should the marriage bed be kept? God would judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral. Galatians chapter 6 verse 7, do not be deceived. God cannot be mocked. A man rips what he sews. I have some few questions that will find answers for. But I want to define adultery. Adultery is voluntarily sexual intercourse between a married person and another person who is not his or her lawful spouse. Adultery, it is voluntarily. Adultery is voluntary spiritual apostasy or to stray away from the covenant with God. The English word adultery comes from the Latin ad which means to and alter which means after different. In other words to make different or to alter to change adultery. In the Bible the first mention of adultery is the Hebrew word nav in the Ten Commandments which says you shall not commit adultery. You shall not willingly sleep with another other than your spouse adultery. Question one, I find myself attracted to someone other than my spouse. What can I do to ensure that I will be faithful? My response number one, honestly analyze the reasons that is leading you to find another person attractive to you other than your spouse. Be genuine in your assessment. Whenever issues of adultery come, quick we go, let us pray for God to help. No. First, be genuine. What reasons, what triggers made me attracted to another woman other than my wife? What is making me attracted to another man other than my husband? Analyze the underpinnings. The situation persists in from your spouse or close confidant about it immediately. Every life must have a trash can. Somebody say trash can. I didn't hear you say trash can. Alright, that's a commercial break. The witches from Sierra Leone. Every life must have a trash can. What do we put in a trash can? Trash. There are things you cannot tell anybody. Aside Jesus, aside the Holy Spirit, you need a human being that you can confind in. You know that this person got my back. Every human being needs it. When it gets very difficult, things you cannot tell anybody. At least there should be one earthly person that you will be vulnerable and break down before.  It must be a man.  It ought or should be a woman. What did I say so far? Whenever adultery or cares is not an event, there are been series of events that were happening silently. Adultery now is finally what we call the outcome. So it cannot happen by accident. Sometimes when the issue of adultery pops up, we quickly run, use the Bible and say, it's no, please, first we are human beings. Address the issue. Okay, so I'll be dealing with it and when the communication crew gets it right, they will just follow me. We don't have time. Sorry about this. Okay, we are bad. You need wisdom here on who to speak to. This one, I'm not shouting. I beg you, be careful who you speak to. This one, I beg you, in the name of Jesus himself, be careful who you speak to. At the very moment you find your emotions turning from your spouse to someone else, you need to immediately redirect your emotions back to your spouse. Listen, if you lose it at this point, you will mess up. Everybody has the tendency to cheat everybody, including Ellen White and Virgin Mary. The reason is we said in my first presentation is what problem. It's in problem. So there must be some gut rails. Somebody say gut rails. I did hear you say gut rails. Some gut rails, when you are driving, the gut rails prevent you from speeding up the road. Adultery is a dangerous thing. So you need gut rails. I'm not going to go into the too much Bible. I want to give practical stuff. So the Bible says those who live should no longer live for themselves. Adultery is selfish decision. We'll get into it in some instances if we can redefine. What does it mean to adulterate? To adulterate is to corrupt or debate. To adulterate is to make impure or inferior. To adulterate sexually means to be involved in any sexual impure activity, including using a deal though is to adulterate.  Those who are not married or fornication or any kind of impurity. So the question is, but we have it, how do we deal with it? What are the characteristics of one drawn into adultery? Can you know who is an adulterous person? Number one, in case I forget a certain question I need to address, remind me before I close. Number one, characteristics. Number one is temptation toward tastes. Liard by the forbidden fruit. There is this temptation. So you are married. But you see another man or another woman and you started flirting with your mind. How she will look like. What is there? I wish to also have a bite. That is the commencement. An adulterous person has the desire to taste. Number two, emotional excitement when we call it to fulfill lust. Before adultery is committed there is an emotional excitement. Number three, for the sake of time. Minimizes the marriage. An adulterous person would devalue the marriage covenant. Anytime we are talking about the sanctity of marriage anybody who is prone to commit adultery will begin to say let's hear. Watch it. Anybody devaluing the sanctity of the marriage covenant is prone to commit adultery. Characteristic number four there will be physical withdrawal from your spouse.  Those of you not yet married not in doubt your sexual life you begin to notice it's not stable anymore. This presentation when I do it as a master class or I'll take $400 from one person take notes. Number five you see all these there are like ten steps under each of them but I'm giving the highlights there is a desire for temporal things for eternal things if the person is a Christian. Immediately you cannot be craving for spiritual things and commit adultery. So before it happens adultery is not an event it's a process. So you devalue the marriage you begin all the things I've stated and you notice your excitement towards temporal things over eternal things you choose the present pleasure over the eternal. Number six characterizes of an adulterous person Anger over accountability refuses to discuss marriage problems Anger immediately the raise issues in the house Anger, rage Anger, watch him, watch her they avoiding accountability. An adulterous person twist the truth lies and lies the affair you will notice there is a thing I'm saying sometimes they make you feel like you are lunatic you are stupid they twist the truth an adulterous person indulge in imagination they avoid reality they are in an aesthetic state thinking about that girl in the office thinking about that man they have met so they start devaluing and make no mistake man I speak from a place of authority adultery is very high among women be here with all your suit and all your body or your African attire like T.K. Menza they will eat under you and you will be there it begins also imagining imagining imagining not living a life of reality adulterous person utterly protective of the other party the person they are into the adultery with you raise an issue with that person you have them from they will descend till death they don't want you to say anything ill about the person characteristics numb to God's leading not even a divine service on fake family fellowship who change them no way they are still there they harden their heart and they start saying not only person or even the pastors they are involved even the elders are involved we call it equalization was the numbed God's leading adultery first Corinthians 10 verse 13 says no temptation sees you except you know it question sees why does anyone get involved in adultery why I am trying to provide some answers typically people get into adulterous relationships because they rationalize their wrong actions as right then they indulge in selfish pleasures to the extent that they develop a heart that is hardened toward the desires of God all a man's way seems right to him but the Lord weighs the heart so an adulterous person why do they get into adultery eventually they try to rationalize he is not always here but the way he talks to me I don't get attracted to him the way he is always finding fault with me the reason why I am sleeping with this man in my office is because my husband refused to show me they know women like attention he is not giving me attention this is the reason why he is not satisfying me in bed this is always a reason what are the characteristics and the consequences of adulterous person God's perspective from Proverbs chapter 6 I will pick them for the sake of time number one adulterous people are smooth talkers these they are mad Proverbs 6 verse 23 to verse 24 the Bible says the corrections of discipline are the way to lie keeping you from the immoral woman from the smooth tongue of the wayward wife adulterous person based on the Bible I am not saying it the Bible says they are sweet talkers and some of you the women these bad boys they talk to you you come home no respect for your husband anymore you are imagining things they are liars they smooth talk you and you are all imagining so you see a young woman or married woman with the phone she is just laughing when I see that phone when I catch that young man I will finish it let me not say it nobody should try me out I too adulterous play with fire and they get burned somebody ask me a question this what I am referring to can a man scoop fire into his lab without his clothes being burned Proverbs 6 verse 27 adulterous people get burned number three adulterous person will be punished Proverbs 6 verse 29 so is he who slips with another man's wife no one who touches her will go and punish because they will punish you adulterous person number four adulterous lack judgment Proverbs 6 verse 32 immediately your husband or why or your will be boyfriend you notice this guy is stupid he doesn't think well he lacks wisdom listen a man who commits adulteries the Bible says war no come on talk to me the Bible says war lacks judgment judgment is the wisdom talk about he careless the ramifications it's a pelvic liberation let me satisfy my pelvic needs you don't care the STDs you don't care the dangers you don't care the shame you don't care the embarrassment it is what I want to do now guess what make no mistake all of us are susceptible to it nobody is immune our only surety is God's word somebody should say an amen adulterous people destroy themselves whoever does so destroys themselves the Bible says Proverbs 6 verse 32 adulterous person will be disgraced you remember that 4D sin would disgrace you it will disappoint you it will dominate you then finally it disgraces you then it destroys you the Bible says blows and disgrace are his lots Proverbs 6 verse 33 adultery will surely embarrass you adulterous people will experience never and be ashamed and his shame will never be wiped away Proverbs 6 verse 33 adulterous person evoke anger and jealousy in their spouse Proverbs 6 verse 34 for jealousy arouses a husband's theory this is what adulterate does when a man sees that another man is evading the territory of his spouse or even this chicken rat or this lizard relationship with what we call it corn row and sunglasses you notice even your girlfriend somebody is getting close and the man is angry this boy who is a mini tot with a blue black suit and red tie is angry why somebody is talking to my girlfriend how much more a wife the Bible says for jealousy arouses a man's theory adulterous persons often become the object of revenge and he the husband will show no mercy when he takes revenge adultery I am asking the simple question how I broke my vows is there any hope but we are putting it in context what are the causes of committing adultery what are the causes if I were to have time I would have dealt into that a little but let me run with it very quickly let me make a case then I pick the lesson quickly the man could did this deserve to die where upon Nathan replied you are the man why did you despise the word of the Lord by doing what is evil in his side Revelation 245 says I hold this against you you are forsaking your first love why is adultery so deceptive ten top truths about adultery ten top truths about adultery number one is guilt objectivity adultery will make a man or a woman never ever objective always subjective adultery it affords the illusion of being lying so a married man is dating a single girl and she is under the delusion the illusion that I am being lying is a lie adultery makes you feel you are lying adultery it gives a false sense of significance it makes you feel you are special you are not you are not anybody committing adultery with you is playing a scam game is a matter of time so excuse objectivity it affords the illusion of being laugh it gives a false sense of significance adultery number four for the sake of time it feels good physically it provides a tempera sense of security I can break all of them down it gives a false feeling of connecting we are just connected anytime we meet we are just into each other you are stupid you are not into each other adultery makes both party feel wanted as if somebody is running after them sex that you must have and be free after having sex you can pray and move about you are hiding why? adultery numbs emotional pain so the person engaged in adultery will never feel the pain so whatever is happening in the home he doesn't care she doesn't care why her emotions his emotions is with somebody else adultery it diverts attention away from family problems so there is a problem in the family instead of looking at it addressing it he is being evasive and lucy his attention is elsewhere and the family is struggling sometimes the women are battling sometimes the poor man cannot even tell anybody that I feel my wife is cheating and the men die in silence adultery it can be a weapon to punish the spouse some people use it as vengeance or you did it I will cheat and you will feel it and somebody has one law too I will cheat with who somebody has just hit the jackpot and there are young men in church who are aspect is sleeping with people's wife the men in Nairobi center watch out for the men hey don't joke with this young boys they will play you right now you will be shocked hey I am always watching the arrival this young men they will sleep with you will be screaming here the lord the lord and they are giving your wife what you cannot imagine I refuse that my eyes are open Peter very wide open I won't take anything to chance no way Bible says there is a way that seems right to a man but in the end it leads to there why are people or why do people get drawn into adultery I think I make an error Ephesians 4 verse 18 to verse 19 number one adulterers in folk anger and jealousy in their spouses that's what the Bible says so number one we focus on what we thought would meet our needs so why do people get into adultery so the focus is this is what I lie this is what to make me happy then adultery begins number two we open the door of compromise number three we fail to look at the life long consequences number four we blame our married partner for my problem why the shit shit do you know that we have suffered in his hands please it's not my wish I don't wish to do it it's because he hey take your responsibility what kind of nonsense is that here you've gone to sin instead of you to take responsibility you are again crying and diverting it if you do that one to be the way I'll blast you in the counseling room what kind of thing is that first accept I have seen what I did was not acceptable then we begin to find out what are the root causes we blame our married partners the more you are blaming your partner the more you are finding fault with your partner the more you are looking at the weaknesses of your partner you are going to likely commit adultery number five we think we wouldn't get caught some people are pro 50 years nothing is out here your day will come we believe it will make us happy we rationalize that God understands our situation we assume our mate will never change the reason why people commit adultery we harden our heart and we are leered lastly by lusts adultery question seven I am running quite fast why should one stop committing adultery write this ten point down quick why should one stop committing adultery number one write it down your mate is wounded your partner is wounded number two your integrity is destroyed look all the years pass if we have committed adultery after today may God grant us the strength to say no or no more to adultery let the whole church say amen those online also type amen no to adultery why must you stop adultery read between the first one is what your mate is wounded the second one is what your integrity is destroyed the third one your peace is forfeited number four your morality is compromised number five your health is jeopardized number six your conscience is kind number seven your children lose their hero or heroine some children are dismissive of God on account of their father's failure on account of their mother's failure sometimes they are in the house and they see the men they see the women sometimes they see a lot of things and they are watching and sometimes the children are very jealous for their period so your child all what you have told her before as a man he doesn't trust daddy again and guess what he moves into a level every man is like who if daddy I can trust can cheat every man some of them enter into lesbianism on account of your future who not be blessed why should one stop adultery number nine your bible for pieces and number ten your God condenses let's go over again read it with me why must we stop committing adultery let's go together number one is what it's wounded number two your integrity is destroyed number three your peace is forfeited number four your morality is compromised number five your health is jeopardized number six your conscience is carved number seven your children lose their hero number eight your future will not be blessed number nine your bible forbid it number ten your God condenses what is or are the causes of adultery if I were to have time you see emotional immaturity of a person who is willing to sacrifice commitment to a married partner believing that personal integrity is not important and that the need for love can be fully met while going against the will of God it's a justification I broke my vow is there any hope so here are some situation the philosophy is confess the adultery this is the lie we call it the myth and I'm giving bible verses to support each of the scenarios I will just put the affair behind me no one needs to know the truth is the truth must come out in order for God to bring healing it's a matter of time there is nothing hidden under the sun confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed the second point commit yourself completely to your covenant partner then the myth people say is children are the glue in the marriage no it's not the children the truth is commitment is the glue that holds the marriage together not children my basis is Malachi chapter 2 I've read it throughout the week God is acting as the witness between you and the wife of your youth because you have broken faith with her though she is your partner the wife of your marriage covenant has not the Lord made them one in flesh and spirit they are here and why one because he was seeking godly offspring so guard yourself in your spirit and do not break faith with the wife of your youth God says I want godly see don't commit adultery because I want godly seed your children should not carry the weaknesses you carry some pairing in the book patriarchs and property in my first book how the mighty are fallen and then why address that adulterous men and women they give the trade to their children number 3 cut all ties with the third party don't talk to the woman now that we have finished this program and we want to go back to our families don't go back talking to her don't go back talking to him somebody will say affairs are okay as long as no one knows the truth is adultery cannot be hidden god knows the illicit partner knows and in time others will know ultimately the affair will bend him can a man scoop fire in his lap without his cloth been buried number 4 choose where to place your thoughts when you attempted sometimes you attempted to commit adultery sometimes the women can be very bad some of them use sex as a weapon some men even do it they will never give sex to their partner and the men will be begging me I will never beg please let me me a man like me never I know the right things to do I will people are on their knees begging please it's a long time please just one me never the meat is people who have affairs do not love their spouse it is possible to still feel a love for one person yet at the same time be infatuated with another Peter was just in the Holy Spirit he says God has just revealed this to you the next time they say Satan get away from me finally brethren whatever is true whatever is noble whatever is rai whatever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy think about such thing you know your own weaknesses so please manage it if you know you can't then some places go with your spouse or some meetings at the board places don't go why? I don't want to sing you know yourself number five consider the difference between love and last the myth is how can it be so wrong if it feels so right love is not a feeling I address it the supreme if something is right it's the word of God what God says so we dealt with that one husbands love your wife just as Christ loved the church and gave himself for her so for example Samoala she gets me angry sometimes her she gets me angry the only thing that restrained me those the men but I'm not the women can get you so angry sometimes you wonder where did I marry her from the only thing that restrained me the Bible says the same way I seen and God wonders is this one also created in my image that's the only thing that restrained me number six count the cost of adultery the lie is as long as no one knows no one is hurt adultery hurts everyone involved you brought guilt and God judgment not only upon yourself but also upon the other person you have destroyed your truthfulness your credibility and your testimony that's what adultery does and sometimes your family is short change because if God refused to bless you on account of adultery your family is short changed some of us the way where we are God should have blessed us far more adultery has taken God's blessing away and your wife your children your posterity you are there and that blessing is elusive to your generation which will have made them a certain height in society adultery has chosen but you know what as far as I can pay the bill as far as I have some money we are sorted no you have no idea the stock of blessing or the type of blessing God had installed a man who commits adultery likes judgment whoever does so destroys himself the Bible means what it says and says what it means number seven I am about wrapping it up communicate godly sorrow if I admit I am sorry about the affair everything will be okay no it is supposed to be the Bible says there is a vast difference between wordly sorrow and godly sorrow between Peter and that of Judah you must be genuine godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret but wordly sorrow brings death that is why we confess we go back we confess we go back if I were to have time I will have dealt with six common mistakes a faithful partner makes so you are the faithful partner there are six mistakes that faithful partners make I will not talk about this for the sake of time for the sake of time I will jump the six piece of appeal let me jump straight now I have committed adultery how what do I do number one identify the cause of the failure or the failures be genuine gabejin gabejao if you lie to yourself you will be lying with a solution a defective solution will be profit step number two I have committed adultery what do I do number two trace the patterns of your moral failures every moral failure has pattern if it is not the first time it has happened there are patterns that happen patterns so trace the patterns of your moral failure or failures step number three what do I do genuinely take full responsibility no blame gay it's not because my wife refused me sex it's not because of this it's not because of this I was godless I take full responsibility first take genuinely take full responsibility how do I deal I have committed adultery what do I do step number four be ready for the consequence prepare to face the consequences don't go and be begging god stop be prepared to face the consequences ask god just for strength let me face the punishment dear lord strength for the punishment and sometimes sadly the punishment is not just you your children and your spouse number five confess seek forgiveness and repent both from your spouse and god confess seek forgiveness and repent you can confess and seek forgiveness if you don't repent it's a cyclical thing you'll be back again step number six I've committed adultery what do I do identify and engage trustworthy accountability partner don't trust everyone in this regard please look for somebody see this lady she excites a certain emotion in me watch the way I go around with her tell an accountability partner sometimes your wife may not become the capacity to manage it or your husband so it must be somebody you trust that is your trash can the person you trust number seven I've committed adultery what do I do identify intentionally hedge your morals pay create god rail if you know the patterns there are certain movies you will not watch there are certain conversations you will not have there are certain places you don't want to go why I don't want to commit adultery because it's not playing games in my mind and leading to various things so I stop it I will not we call that you are you are hedging your moral space or territory number eight cut ties with the third party person you are committing adultery with if you are in the same office it does seek to be transferred seek do everything to cut ties with the person if it means quarreling with the person to seize having a conversation stop it point number nine how do I protect myself after I've committed adultery and I want to get it right after hope for families build, establish and flourish number nine allow adequate time for healing you've cheated your wife is aware the next minute you wanted to be behaving not everything is well please speak are you correct everything is not well it will take time she is bothered he is damaged sometimes you just be there and the triggers will come this is angry angry why is he angry something has played in her mind he is just angry why is he behaving like that the past has come again so he is emotionally hurt so whenever these situations arise allow adequate time for healing point number ten don't be responsible for the healing of the third party the person you've committed adultery with and you want to become the pastor of the person please she is going to look for a pastor she is going to look for a counselor don't go and be doing are you okay I am just checking up on it no no you are not responsible run are you responsible for the healing for the healing of the intruding

even as God for Christ's sake if there is somebody here your husband has cheated on you your wife has cheated on you please is it easy no but look at this text because of what Jesus has done sometimes we don't want to pray for the other party at all the bible says for the Lord Jesus' sake and for the love of the spirit that we strive together with me in your prayers for me not because the person deserve it because of who Christ sometimes you become a fool for the relationship to work and the family not to be disintegrated we are fools for Christ's sake but you are wise in Christ we are weak

Begin with the three of them in this place. Oh, Papa, finally. You know when I will meet these friends of my agai. But if we do not meet agai, one day in a place called heaven. One day on the street that is made of gold. May we meet. May we tell our stories. The struggles we have gone through in this life. May we sing the song of Moses and the song of the Lamb. May our song be redeemed how I love to proclaim it. Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. Redeemed through his infinite mercy. May this be our portion. May the Lord bless you and keep you.  May God show you peace and all the good things of this life because there is hope for the families that you have done in Jesus' name. Please, you can be seated. Before pastor comes, I just want to make a point. Those online, I ask, what is the name? I ask Victor. We begin a mentorship program next month. Get into the tail end. Anybody interested, whether for your children, whether for your couples or singles, please, we encourage you. Lastly, we pray every morning.  You can join up with your morning. Narobi Central, God bless you. I love you from the bottom of my heart.


Let's consider a relationship between employer and employee. I'm going to write it on the board again. I'm going to make use of this. So here is my employee on one end. Here's my employer. And what the line is, is just indicates a relationship between the employer and the employee. And I just want to ask the following questions. What processes occurred? I'm going to hold aside, despite the fact we did a lot of work on it, the political, the cultural, the natural. I just want to examine these few economic processes. Well, first of all, between employer and employee, there's highly likely to be a labor process occurring. That's certainly one of economic processes. Let me consider one of the faster growing activities in the United States, business activities which is police protection, guarding. Suppose that between employer and employee that's a firm that produces protection, protection of houses and factories, sports stadiums, and so forth. So there's a labor process here that's occurring by the employee. And the person engages in a particular kind of concrete labor, which is policing, times the productivity of policing. And the result is police protection, for a house, or for a sports stadium, or for a business, for a factory. So suppose the person engages in eight hours of policing. And over the eight hours gives eight hours of police protection, PP, eight hours of policing. And so the result is eight hours of police protection. Again, it's a fast growing industry in the States. You know, the person who has a uniform drives around, looks to make sure everything is safe, or walks around the factory testing the fences and so forth to make sure that the property is safe. So that's a labor process that's being engaged here. Suppose, secondly, let's call that just number one, not in order of importance. It's just a labor process. Suppose also the employee in capitalism sells his or her labor power. Remember what labor power is. So here's an exchange process. This is the labor process. Here's an exchange process in which the person sells his or her capacity to work to do policing, and gets a wage of, let's say, I don't know, 75 bucks. So the person sells his or her capacity to work, receives a value. Marx calls that the value of his or her labor power, which in my case is, what do I have to say, $75. All right? So no serfdom, no slavery. In capitalism, people have the capacity, the freedom to sell their labor power and receive a wage. Suppose there's another exchange process. Notice this exchange process is on the input side. Labor power is an input to the employer. But the employer also engages in another exchange process, which is selling police protection on the market. And suppose that use value, that police protection, is sold for $100. Whoever is going to be the buyer who gets the use value of the police protection. And so the policing is sold. That is, police protection is sold by this employer, by this firm. And the firm realizes, the employer realizes $100 of value. And that's the third economic process. And I want to add one more, the one that Marx invented. So let me put this up here. There's a fourth process occurring, which is the capitalist fundamental class process. Let's not lose it. We discussed this in the course. Here, there is a still other economic process, one of class, in which the worker goes to work, produces $100 of value. And I'm going to assume here that the worker produces $100, gets paid $75, and hence, there's a profit of $25 for the employer. So the worker goes to work for eight hours. Remember, what is that? You could probably figure that out yourself now. That's the use value of labor power. That's what the employer gets. That's what's useful there. And suppose, in my example here, after, say, six hours, three quarters, the worker gets paid $75, works two more hours, and gets $25, let me do that again. The worker, after six hours, gets paid $75 by my assumption. But the worker continues to work for two more hours, six to eight, producing another $25. But remember, the logic now, that's what the capitalist, the employer acquires. That's the use value of labor power. There's the total value that's being produced here, which is $100. The buyer gets, that's what this eight hours yields. The eight hours yields $100, over eight times. So that's what it yields. And that's what the buyer of labor power acquires, and gives back a portion of it to the worker, $75. And the $25 remains, the surplus value goes to the employer. OK, what do we got here? Let's conclude. We have productive labor. So in this particular case, the laborers are productive. Why? Because they produce $25 a surplus. We have a capitalist commodity. Why?  And of course, we have abstract labor and so forth. So here's an example in which we can say that the labor that occurs is productive because of the capitalist fundamental class process, the present. We can say that it's a commodity because it's something is being produced for sale. Next step. So labor is productive of surplus value, and we have a capitalist commodity. Next step. And this is just to come back and re-emphasize this productive labor. I want to change just this. I only want to change this. And what I want to change, it's a good review for us, I want to change that to this fundamental class process but to the ancient. Remind you, the ancient is the class process in which a single individual both produces and appropriates that surplus him, herself. It's different from capitalism in which an employee produces a surplus that the employer, the capitalist, gets. In this ancient, the employee and the employer are the same person. So everything is the same. I'm not doing anything different here. Save for this class process, which in this case is the ancient. So the worker goes to work, sells his or her capacity to him or herself as an employer, pays himself or herself $75 in wages, and that same individual gets the $25 of surplus or profit in this private detective agency in which no one works for the private eye and the private detective doesn't work for anybody else except him or herself. Well, in this particular case, we no longer have a capitalist commodity. We have an ancient commodity. And if you want, Marx doesn't do this, but you could say this is productive of ancient surplus value. Marx typically reserves the question of productive or unproductive to capitalism. But most importantly, for this exercise, we have a different kind of commodity here, a different kind of abstract labor, which is that of the ancient, not the capitalist.


Live from Las Vegas, Nevada, it's theCUBE. Covering Knowledge 15, brought to you by ServiceNow. We're back, welcome everybody, Dave Vellante with Jeff Frick. I told you before that we celebrate each year the winners of the Hackathon. ServiceNow sets up a Hackathon every year. It's a great program and they have two categories. One is the customer category, one is the partner category. Dian Wang is here. He represents the partner category in the Hackathon. Dianna, congratulations first of all on winning the Hackathon and welcome to theCUBE. Thank you. So I specifically set it off camera. I don't want to know anything about what you did and what the project was all about, but take us to when you started. So I guess it was what, Tuesday afternoon? Yep, yep. Kind of the clock started ticking and you have until midnight when the bell rings. It starts shipping in pizza and beer and just coke and pizza pockets actually. Pizza pockets. No coding beforehand. Nope. Right, that's not cool. Yep. And everybody sort of plays by that rule. You could think about it in the shower, I presume. Oh, we had a vision. We had a vision. Okay, so what was that vision? And how big was the team? So my colleague couldn't join me today. His name is Chase McCrae, but. Okay. So. Team of two. Team of two. So what was the vision? So I think one of the biggest problems that we've ever encountered with far typical client engagements has been, you know, how can we make the CMS portal look great? When you get the default employee self-service portal, it looks very plain Jane. There's not really a lot of pizzazz to it. So I guess when we came into this, we were thinking, you know, what would be the best way to add some visual flair to this? But at the same time, we want to make it user friendly. So we wanted absolutely no code involved. So we wanted to make sure that our end users, our clients can use this application to build beautiful, rich, responsive pages without any knowledge of any code at all. So that was the objective. That was the objective. Okay. Reloaded. Wow. We've built responsive websites. Yes, we have. And simple websites, which are not easy to build. We didn't build them in a day. No. Seven hours actually. Seven hours. Seven hours. Seven hours. Okay, so that was the sort of, the mountain you were trying to climb. Yeah. Okay. And then the clock started ticking like literally. What time? Oh, I think it was just shortly after four o'clock. So it's 4 p.m. go.  Yeah. And everybody's coding, stressful situation. So what'd you do? How'd you approach it? What did you think would be your biggest challenge going in before you actually got in? What did you anticipate? You know, we've been actually browsing a lot on the community forums for service now. And I guess I've been doing a lot of research on what would be a potential solution for this. So, you know, looking at the forums, there wasn't a lot of progress, you know, doing this type of work, the CMS work, right? So I think the biggest challenge was, is it even feasible? Is it even possible? That's a good challenge. It's going to do it. It was a good challenge. Well, obviously it was possible. So how did you attack this problem? So funny enough, the first four hours, we had absolutely nothing working. Zero, zilch. We were pretty much shooting ourselves in the foot at that point. We were just like, uh-oh, what did we do? And then- It wasn't working because your premise was wrong. Your code was bad. You were going down to Dark Alley. When you say it doesn't work for four hours, that's a lot of coding. What was going on? What were you trying to do that didn't work? So we learned that, well, we had a lot of help actually from the service now guys that were coming in. And funny enough, the guys who were falling on the community forums, they were there at the event as one of the helpers, right? So we had Nathan Firth and Travis, both CMS guys for service now, come in and help us. So they sat down with us. They looked at our code. They were like, you know, this should work. Like what's going on here? And then there's some, a little bit of debugging and then we have to actually start over from scratch. That's been a theme in the show. Starting over on the code again. Four hours in, yeah. Four hours in, it was an hour contest. Luckily it was fresh in your mind. So we rebuilt it in 15 minutes and then all of a sudden it worked.   Right, right. Four hours down to 15 minutes, second time through. So what was the glitch the first time that you worked around? So something new in the Fuji release was something called application scopes. We found out that some of the, I guess the functions or API wasn't available in that particular application scope. So we had to actually go to a global scope which allowed us to use the global functions that are available in ServiceNow. And I guess that was the major roadblock there. So take us through how you went at this. So for the first four hours when you spent your time doing what? Just coding out the vision. But what does that mean in terms of was it the layout? Was it the ability to customize the page? Was it the ability to put in, you know, custom themes? How'd you make it responsive? Take us through that. So when we originally were determining like the scope of this whole project, we wanted to, well, at first be able to change themes on the fly. So say you're not satisfied with theme A, you can change it to theme B, theme C, any type, any number of themes that you can download online at any point. And then the other thing too was we wanted to make it so easy. We wanted to be able to just click and drag a control onto a page and there it is. That's all you need. So building that, we were, you know, it was a bit of a struggle, kind of like laying it all out, like what order to attack each control, right? So it was a bit tricky there. But you did. I assume you're not the winner for effort. I assume you accomplished a task. Okay, so the end game is a portal, so a page. And so I can envision, I'm thinking if I'm going to build out a site like that, I'm going to think through the content that I'm going to require. I might want social content. I might want, you know, knowledge. I mean, all kinds of things. I mean, maybe it's not infinite, but there are a lot of different permutations. So how do you accommodate all those different data types? So the technology we used actually is called Bootstrap. So that was the, actually funny enough, presented at the second day of the keynote by Fred Ludi. So we had some crossover there. But pretty much what we built was backwards compatible with all of ServiceNow's existing content management system.  And you can add the visual flare from our Bootstrap integration as well. So you can mix and match and get, you know, the best of both worlds, almost. So you actually have a drag and drop capability. Yes. Out of the box now, that access is virtually any data type that's available in the ServiceNow platform, pretty much, bottom line. And all of the major Bootstrap components as well. And it's designed for the user then to be able to build their service applications without knowing anything about coding, basically in a drag and drop methodology. So I had, we do this stuff all the time, right? I had a East Coast based developer tell me that to build that capability that you just described was a million dollar project and it might not be able to be done. You did it in seven hours? Yeah, seven hours. Well, technically, this guy's more pizza. Technically three hours, you know. Well, I mean, you got to have service. Right after the four hours. You have to have ServiceNow platform installed to do it. And that is a precondition, but, you know, which not everybody has, but nonetheless. And so when the clock struck 12, you were still coding or were you pretty much done? We actually called it at night, seven hours in. So, no, the clock wasn't ticking at that point. We were just like, okay, everything's in. So 11 o'clock at night, you're done? Yeah, pretty much. Because how much time did you have in the whole contest? Eight hours. Eight hours. Yeah, eight hours. So you spent four hours at midnight. And then a team of two. Just a team of two. So now, so now what are you doing? With a little bit of help from ServiceNow. The other guy was supposed to be the mouth and I was going to be the brain. With a team of two with a little bit of help from your friends at ServiceNow, right? Yeah, yeah. That's great. So what are you going to do now with the app? Is it something that you're going to commercialize or? Yeah, we were hoping to bring this to our customers. Like, pretty much at the end of the day, this was built for our customers. Because all of our customers asked for the same thing. We want a beautiful, responsive, rich UI experience. That's pretty much the core essence of ServiceNow, right? Everything has a service. And if you think about it, something like user experience is a core part of a service. Right. And what do you think would be the impact for, I forget the expression that Shane just used in terms of the not coder coders. The low code developers. The no code developers to have a tool like this in terms of their ability and not so much ability, to inspire them to actually begin to build applications inside of ServiceNow. So I think this is something that people have never seen before in ServiceNow. The ability to build pages without any code at all. Any knowledge of that platform, Bootstrap. You don't need any background knowledge on it. And we made it so simple, like things like an image carousel. It's pretty much a PowerPoint slide. All you have to do is click, upload an image. If you want banner text, you can put it in. You can leave it out. It's up to you. Excellent. Now, tell me a little bit about online business systems. What's your company all about? So online business systems is a consulting company. It's actually based out of Winnipeg. But we have offices all over Canada. So I'm actually from Alberta, Canada, so. What types of clients do you serve? What type of industries, roles? So we, well, out west, from my home office, we mostly serve the oil and gas industry. Okay. Of course. Of course. But we also have a wide variety of clients as well, like tax preparers. We have one that's auto dealership, things like that. And also MSPs as well. So you're seeing this proliferation of applications outside of kind of the classic ServiceNow space in terms of the IT management into all types of things. Yeah. Like what is the car dealership user for? Car dealership uses for, I guess, pretty much to help us. But I think a better example would be the tax preparer, where we use it actually as like a monitoring tool. We kind of built our own service watch for ServiceNow. So we kind of customized it, tweaked it a little bit and made it something their own. Now how long you've been working with ServiceNow? So funny enough, I just graduated from university last year. So less than a year at this company, at least. You must be so psyched. A year out, you win the hackathon. Pretty wired, pretty wired, yeah. See, that's awesome. Are you doing on next year's idea? Oh, I'm thinking. I'm always visualizing. And your background? What's your background? I'm Chinese. Oh, excuse me. Well, that's great. That is beautiful, wasn't it? I'm Italian. I'm Canadian, I was born as a Canadian. Oh, so, but I mean in terms of computer science major. Oh, okay. History major, right? Computer science. You're a basketball fan, not a hockey fan, so science for the Warriors tonight. You're the one Canadian citizen and it's not a hockey fan, not a hockey fan. J-E-T-S-Jets, Jets, Jets, Jets. Yeah, good things done when the hockey fans come. Golden State Warriors is your team. Golden State, all right. They're gonna take it tonight. All right, good. Well done. First of all, congratulations. Awesome story. Thank you. And appreciate you coming on theCUBE. Thank you, good luck going forward. Yeah, look forward to seeing that in the store. All right, keep it right there, buddy. We'll be back. Frick and I to wrap up Service Now, Knowledge 15. This is theCUBE. We'll be right back.


Hey, Psych2Goers, welcome back to another video. First off, we would like to thank you for all of the support that you've given us. Psych2Go's mission is to make psychology and mental health more accessible for everyone, and you help us do that, so thank you. Now, let's get back to the video. Have you been feeling really overwhelmed lately? Do things slip your mind more often than before? When you don't take care of your mental health, it can start to deteriorate, sometimes to the point that it results in anxiety and depression. Therefore, it's important to recognize these subtle signs when they're happening, so you're able to find the support or to make the changes you need to get your mental health back on track. So without further ado, here are six subtle signs your mental health is deteriorating. Before we begin, we would like to mention that this video is created for educational purposes only and is not intended to substitute a professional diagnosis.  Number one, you experience dispassion. Have you suddenly lost interest in the things you once loved? Maybe things seem to feel duller and you find it less enjoyable when you're out with your friends. One of the most common symptoms of deteriorating mental health is dispassion. This is when you experience a detachment or a lack of emotion, especially with the things that once excited you. Number two, you withdraw from others socially. Do you always say no when your friends ask to hang out with you?  While it may feel tempting to stay confined, studies show that reaching out to other people and engaging in human connection is important for your mental health. Number three, you experience physical pain for no apparent reason. Do you often feel pain or aches for no reason? Though the link between mental health and physical pain may not be obvious, it can be a marker of deterioration. Physical pain is often an alternative expression of psychological disruption like depression. Studies have shown that there is a neurological link between pain and deteriorating mental health. There are overlaps between biochemical receptors responsible for mood regulation and pain, so changes to these receptors could lead to increased pain and mental health deterioration. Number four, you're becoming more forgetful. We all forget things sometimes, whether it's a relative's birthday or switching the lights off before going out. These things can be quite normal. But when you start to forget events or details of moments that recently occurred, then it may be a cause for concern. Forgetfulness is a sign that your mental capacity and your concentration is not working as it should. A study conducted in 2016 links these two factors as early signs of depression. Number five, you experience emotional outbursts more often. Are you always overwhelmed or prone to emotional outbursts? This could be a sign that your mental health is declining. When you're psychologically distressed, your ability to regulate emotions declines, a decrease in emotional self-regulation opens the door to maladaptive thinking and irrational beliefs, which can cause anxiety and depression. One example of such belief is that one must be perfect in order to be loved and accepted by others. And number six, you feel guilty or worthless. Do you often struggle with your self-worth?  This could be a possible sign of a mental health issue, such as depression. If you're frequently criticizing or blaming yourself, know that you're not alone and there's always someone to talk to. How many of these signs did you relate to? Let us know in the comments below. And if you experienced any of the signs we've mentioned above, know that you're not alone and that there is help and support for you if you need it. We hope this video was helpful.
