To start with I was thought I'd be nervous having my daughters on trucks that you know if you're on different trucks it's a bit harder because I was a bit nervous thinking you know I can't keep an eye on them are they gonna be okay. So I work for Coles I'm a department manager so I actually work 40 hours a week as well on average and have the girls and they actually have another little sister as well Ella so she's not quite old enough to become a brigade member yet yeah she will when she's 10 11 yeah and fire brigade actually work fire brigade. That is actually at school work fire brigade. And then out of fire brigade it's other sports like netball or something. Yeah we had a call out the other day and I ran from home to here so I was like just so I could make the truck and be one ahead but I'm still not caught up. Yeah like I'm still up there. We're rivals the whole way. Even though we still love each other we're still rival of who's gonna make make truck and who's turning out and I'm like I'm one up on you which is like how long have you been going to? Yeah so it's really it's really competitive. But we're a competitive anyway. Yeah we're a competitive family so yeah in a good way. Not in a bad way. But the CFA is just incredible like I they could be on a truck ten k's away from me and I've got no concern at all because the training that is involved that what we do what we get trained to do we would never be sent out on something that we weren't trained for one or where I thought that anyone would be in a situation that I wasn't you know happy with but our senior members as well they would never ever make us turn out to something that they thought that we couldn't handle or that was you know that we just weren't trained enough for. You don't really feel hesitant about it but you do know like when I first started you noticed that oh wow there's a lot of a lot of males and then kind of eventually from when we started that's when all the females started turning up. Yeah yeah it is a bit nerve-racking because I think oh god like I'm the only girl in an all male brigade like there was a ladies at Zilla and stuff so you do see other females but like I think we had the like same with me and Mon we had the opportunity like we've done juniors so we kind of knew everyone. Yeah he just fit in anyway. The experience that you get from joining a brigade is it's just amazing. The amount of opportunities that you get like helping out with community safety with kids and stepping up into leadership roles like secretary and everything like that's just great. If there's any females that are looking to becoming firefighters or ever thought about it I'd say go for it absolutely. Just see your local brigade and get your name on there. It like further breaks that bridge like if there's more females joining then there's no oh you've got to break the bridge like it's just not even diversity.  It's the norm.


Series RC circuits, what do they look like? A resistor and a capacitor and series across an AC voltage source. Series RC circuits, where do we use them? I have here two audio amplifiers, similar to those used in high-fidelity music systems. Looking closely at this one, we can see an array of controls. But the control that I'm particularly interested in is the one labeled volume. Now the volume control is a resistance device called a potentiometer and is schematically represented like this. Physically it appears this way. Looking at the other audio amplifier, note the volume control has been now replaced by a loudness control. Now watch the difference between the volume control and the loudness control. Well the loudness control is a series resistive capacitive network used to electrically compensate for the characteristics of the human ear. Well so much for that. Schematically represented the loudness control looks like this. Basically series RC circuits mounted on a tapped potentiometer. Physically a loudness control may look like this one. Series RC circuits, what makes them so different? Common usage and circuit analysis I suppose. To understand the action of a series resistive capacitive network involves the use of one vector analysis, two Pythagorean theorem, and three trigonometric functions. Well applying these three terms then to our reactor circuit or specifically this series RC circuit, let's begin by defining a vector. Recall a vector is a line which has both length and direction. Now by rotating the vector in a counter clockwise direction a positive angle is generated. By rotating the angle in a clockwise direction a negative angle is generated. Now does this positive or negative angle that represents the circuit condition? Using this information then let us review by graphically solving a series RC circuit with the aid of vectors. And to do so we'll use this circuit. It has a capacitor whose capacitance reactance is 5 k ohms. Of course the reactance of this capacitor is determined by the frequency of our generator. The applied voltage to our circuit or the output voltage of the generator is 26 volts. We have a resistor of 12 k ohms. Now to solve this graphically with the aid of vectors we'll begin by plotting r which is equal to 12 k ohms at 0 degrees. Now each mark or each unit here on our vector is equal to 1 k ohm or 1 unit. So once again r would be equal to 12 k ohms at 0 degrees. Next x sub c is plotted minus 90 degrees which in our problem was 5 units or 5 k ohms. We construct a parallelogram and draw in our radius vector. If we measured our radius vector or our impedance vector they are one in the same. It would measure 13 units long which would be equal to 13 k ohms. So we have an impedance of the circuit of 13 k ohms. Now we have an angle generated here that is the angle between r and z which is the impedance angle. And we can measure this angle with a protractor. Accurately reading our protractor would read 22.6 degrees. Note I have a negative 22.6 degrees indicated here for our impedance angle. Remember our impedance vector has been rotated clockwise which would give us a negative direction or a minus angle. So our impedance angle is negative or minus 22.6 degrees. This then would be the impedance vector of any series r c circuit. Of course if the value of r or the value of x sub c were changed the impedance angle would change and of course the magnitude of the impedance vector would change as well. Using this information then we have determined we said z to be equal to 13 k ohms graphically. This is the total opposition of our circuit. We can determine the current flow in our circuit simply by taking this impedance and dividing it into the voltage. 13 k ohms divided into 26 volts would give us a current of 2 milliampere flowing in our circuit. This 2 milliampere flowing in our circuit through a resistance of 12 k ohms would drop 24 volts across this resistor. The same 2 milliampere flowing through our capacitor having a capacitor reactance of 5 k ohms would drop 10 volts. Or 2 milliampere times 5 k ohms would be equal to 10 volts. Now if we added these 2 voltages up 24 plus 10 would be 34. Their arithmetic sum is greater than 26 volts. Well why remember these 2 voltages are not occurring at the same time. And to graphically illustrate this we should draw a voltage vector of this circuit and we'll begin by drawing EA which is 26 volts at 0 degrees. Next we have ER which is 24 volts leading EA. In phase with ER we have IT which was 2 milliampers. And lagging ER by 90 degrees we have EC which is equal to 10 volts. Now we have a very important angle here and that is the angle between EA and IT and this is referred to as the phase angle. And we'll define this angle as the phase angle theta. Or theta is the angle with which current leads or lags the applied voltage. Well in our vector here we have this angle shown the phase angle. And IT is leading EA so we have a leading phase angle. And the angle would be plus 22.6 degrees. Now where do we get the plus 22.6 degrees from? Well you recall our impedance was minus 22.6 degrees. And the phase angle is simply the same angle but of opposite polarity. Then our phase angle would then be plus 22.6 degrees. Well this then would be the voltage vector for any series RC circuit or a representative vector we could call it. Alright another solution or way of solving the same problem is through the use of Pythagorean theorem and trigonometric functions. This method is somewhat easier in that we do not have to rely on graph paper, scales, protractors and rulers. The problem can be solved mathematically with the aid of trig and square root tables. Pythagorean theorem then is applied to reactive circuits comes out like this. Z is equal to the square root of R squared plus X of Z squared. To determine the impedance angle we can use the tangent trig function and this is mathematically stated as this where the tangent of angle theta is equal to X over R. Side X would be your opposite side, side R would be your adjacent side. Using this then we can determine our impedance as we said by using Pythagorean theorem. Z is equal to the square root of R squared plus X of Z squared. Substituting into our formula 12 k ohms. 12 times 12 is 144 plus 5 times 5 is 25. Added together that is the square root of 169. Extracting the square root of 169 is equal to 13. Of course the answer is expressed in k ohms. So once again we have an impedance determined by Pythagorean theorem equal to 13 k ohms the same as that we determined graphically. To determine our impedance angle we can use the tangent trig function we said the tangent of angle theta is equal to X over R or X sub C divided by R 5 divided by 12 is equal to 0.4166. Looking at our trig tables 0.4166 is nearest to 0.4163 and that gives us an angle of 22.6 degrees. Using this information now we can write our impedance as equal to 13 k ohms at an angle of minus 22.6 degrees. Now you recall this is polar notation. We give the impedance, the magnitude of the impedance and we give the direction of the impedance as minus 22.6 degrees. Thus far we have determined the impedance, current of the circuit, voltage drop across the individual components. What about the power in the circuit? Well we have two powers. The power dissipated by resistor R and the power delivered to the circuit by the generator. This power first of all. We call this true power or PT and as we said this is the power dissipated by resistive components and is measured in watts. The other power or apparent power, PA, is the power delivered by the generator to the circuit and is measured in volt amperes or VA. With this then we can solve for true power dissipated in our circuit substituting into our formula using one of our familiar power formulas. Power is equally I squared R, 2 milliampere squared times 12 k ohms would be equal to 48 milliwatts of power dissipated by resistor R. However the apparent power is equal to the 2 milliampere times the 26 volts which would be equal to 52 milli volt amperes. Well now that we have determined the true power and apparent power the next thing we could do is determine the power factor of the circuit. The power factor may be determined by using one of the three following expressions. Number one, the power factor is equal to the cosine of the phase angle which is equal to 0.92. Where did this 0.92 come from? Well if we look at our trig tables once again remember our phase angle was 22.6 degrees and the cosine of the phase angle is 0.9232 or we can say the cosine of the phase angle which is equal to the power factor is equal to 0.92. Number two, power factor is equal to the resistance divided by the impedance which is equal to 12 k ohms divided by 13 k ohms again giving us 0.92. And number three, the power factor is equal to the true power divided by the apparent power in our problem 48 milliwatts divided by 52 milli volt amperes which is equal to 0.92. Note in all three the answer is identical. This is a good check on solving your problems if you come out with the power factor the same in all three formulas where I rest assured your computations are correct. Now also in formulas two and three if you know any two known quantities for example if you know r and z of course you can calculate power factor but if you let's say you wanted to solve for impedance and you knew power factor and r you could transpose your formula and solve it in terms of z likewise you could do the same thing with formula number three if you knew any two you could solve for the third. Well with these things known then the next thing we can take up perhaps in our circuit is determining the voltage amplitude and phase relationship across our components of a series R-C circuit. Now with the aid of an oscilloscope and I have a small circuit set up here just a simple R-C circuit and using Lissajou patterns we can determine the phase relationship existing between these components as well as the relative amplitude of voltage drop across the two components. Now we have the first one on here and the first Lissajou pattern is simply an oval which indicates two voltages exactly 90 degrees out of phase but you may say I thought two voltages 90 degrees out of phase were supposed to give me a circle like this. Well true it would be a perfect circle if the two voltages were out of phase by exactly 90 degrees and equal in amplitude however the two voltages in our problem are not equal in amplitude. Remember ER is greater in amplitude than EC since I have ER applied to the vertical deflection plates and EC applied to the horizontal deflection plates we will have an oval at 90 degrees rather than a perfect circle. So we have indicated we have two voltages 90 degrees out of phase with the amplitude of one greater than the other or ER is greater in amplitude than EC and the two voltages are 90 degrees out of phase. Now the next phase relationship we can observe or the next Lissajou pattern we can observe is ER with respect to EA and I'll make my connections here on the circuit and we have now something like this an oval existing almost at 45 degrees not quite and the width of this oval would denote the phase relationship. Now you recall that ER led EA by 22.6 degrees so the width of this oval would denote a phase displacement of 22.6 degrees and we have ER with respect to EA here. Let me show you this one real quick. This would be two sine waves in phase, would it not? So somewhere between in phase and 90 degrees we have an oval like this and this oval as I said would represent our phase relationship of ER with respect to EA. Well the next one we can observe would be the capacitor voltage with respect to the applied voltage and let me change my leads around once again to obtain this Lissajou pattern. Once again we have an oval but notice the width of this oval is greater than before which would indicate a phase difference of something between 45 and 90 degrees. Now why is this oval lying more on its horizontal axis than before? Well once again remember the two voltages are not equal in amplitude in this case EC is only 10 volts and EA is 26 volts so we do not have equal amplitudes however the phase is indicated by something between 45 and 90 degrees and there you have series RC circuits simply a resistor and a capacitor and series across the voltage source an interesting circuit and indeed a useful one.


How long is your Salah? If you pray five times a day, how long is your Dua'at? How long is your reading in the Quran? How long do you spend on WhatsApp and social media in the kitchen? It's painful! You want the best? Elayna sila'atallahi ghāliya Elayna sila'atallahi jannah It's very expensive. It's very expensive to gain. You want the best? That's the best.


So I wanted to ask you first, what is guidance? Well, guidance is receiving instruction from spirit or higher self in a way that helps one learn to forgive, learn to truly experience the depth of forgiveness as Jesus Christ taught forgiveness. So it's like having the wayshower in your mind and available in a very, very practical way that can be heard or experienced through symbols in a way that leads to an experience of peace of mind. It comes in many forms, so it's not always an audible voice, it can be symbols, bumper stickers, song on the car radio, just something that someone says, symbols all around in many angles, many directions, but the point is well taken that they are all there to communicate information that can be very practical in the spiritual awakening. What's the highest understanding of guidance? Well, the highest understanding would be accepting the call to stillness because it's still, in tranquil mind, there's no small gift. It's really the end, it's the point of everything to come into this stillness and acceptance. So the highest form of guidance would be very synonymous with the highest form of meditation, try not to think of anything at all, and that takes a lot of training because the mind, when it's split, it's full of chatter, it's full of distractions, it's full of busyness. So the point of guidance is really to clear out that static, clear away all the debris and experience the stillness. So that's where it's all heading, is be still, and know that I'm God. So in the willingness to follow the seeming guidance that comes through form, it's leading to this true stillness, which is the guidance. Yeah, it's the same goal that meditation has, is to quiet the mind and still the mind. So you might say guidance is a use of words and feelings and symbols to point in the same direction. In that sense, it's very practical. Do you have any sense of, you spoke of it being like a voice, it's like a companion is what I'm getting from how you describe it? Yeah, that's the way I've experienced it. It's been like a companion, a friend, an internal guide that's very, very close and very, very intimate and very accessible as well. That's one of the reasons why A Course in Miracles has a pathway that includes guidance because it's so helpful in accelerating the awakening, accelerating the mind training. Meditation plays a big part, but the guidance is like a trademark of this pathway. There's so much gratitude for guidance because it's been such a time saver, saving thousands of years and making clear the pathway for me. So I could put my heart into it and really focus on a pathway of listen and follow. And of course the listening relates to the guidance, internal guidance.


Hello and welcome to the session. The given question says, find the sum of all the natural numbers less than 100 which are divisible by 6. Let's start with the solution and we have to find the sum of all the natural numbers less than 100 which are divisible by 6. So the natural numbers divisible by 6 less than 100 but the first number is 6 itself since it's the smallest natural number which is divisible by 6 then we have 12, 18, 24, 30, 36 and so on up to the last number which is divisible by 6 and less than 100 is 96. Before that we have 90 and so on. Now 6 is the first term and 96 is the nth term. Now we know that An is given by A plus n minus 1 into D where A is equal to A1 which is the first term of the AP series. This is the AP series. As we can see the common difference between each of these terms is 6 which is the common difference and here it is equal to 6 and n is the number of terms in this AP series. Now here we have Anx term is equal to 6 plus n minus 1 into 6 where 6 is the common difference and this 6 is the first term. Suppose we are taking the last term as the nth term to get the value of n then we have 96 is equal to 6 plus n minus 1 into 6. We are trying to find the number of terms here. So this implies that 90 is equal to n minus 1 into 6 or n minus 1 is equal to 90 divided by 6 which is equal to 15 or n is equal to 16. So here the number of terms of this AP series is equal to 16. Denoting it by small n it is equal to 16. Now we have to find the sum of these 16 terms. So we have as we know the sum of n terms is given by n divided by 2 into 2A plus n minus 1 into D and here we have to find the sum of first 16 terms. So we have 16 divided by 2 into 2 times of 6 plus 16 minus 1 into 6 which is further equal to 8 into 12 plus 15 into 6 and this is further equal to 8 into 12 plus 15 6 is 90. This is equal to 8 into 102 which is further equal to 816. Hence the answer is the sum of all the natural numbers less than 100 which are divisible by 6 is 816. So this completes this asian by intake


One of my One of my one of my assistant coaches she coined the term It's much better to be interested than to be interesting Because that's really your two big goals in a conversation Not to try to impress her without how funny or how whatever you are. It doesn't work Consistency will always falter What are your two jobs in a conversation woman one get her talking as much as possible? To Make her feel good about it when she does That's it.  Hey, how's it going? It's not your job to try to be funny or interesting and win them over. It's not your job to say the right thing It's just your job to start the conversation. It's your job to just get it going and then see what she has to offer We'll talk a little bit more about how you make that happen specifically. Don't worry But I want to emphasize first and foremost That if you go in there, it's trying to impress her. It's always gonna fall flat So the goal is of course to get her talking. How do you do that?


The next presentation is by Amos Barkay on integrating electronic monitoring and reporting technology for fisheries management and compliance and exploring the variability of deploying official technology independent of human interventions related to the monitoring and surveillance of commercial fishing operations. Good day. My name is Amos Barkay. I am the CEO and co-founder of OLSPS. Today, I will be presenting to you our work on the integration of our existing electronic reporting technology, named OLRAC, with third-party onboard electronic monitoring system for fisheries management and compliance. I will also share with you our vision regarding the incorporation of AI technology as part of our envidious electronic monitoring and reporting integrated solution. OLSPS was founded in 1989 by Dr. Mai Bergen myself for the purpose of providing commercial fishing operators with analytical insight and with related software products needed for the quantitative management of fish resources. The photo in this slide was taken last year, just shortly before the COVID pandemic changed our life maybe forever. Presently, OLSPS employs 40 vibrant and diverse individuals, most of whom are highly qualified and professional in the field of software design, fishery science, mathematics, statistics, data modeling, database design, and more. The entire company is now cloud-based and operating remotely with each other and with all our clients around the world. In recent years, there has been an increasing demand for title control of commercial fishing operations in national and international waters. In addition, public pressure was mounting for the inclusion of ecosystem consideration in commercial fishing regulation and management targets. To address this demand, fisheries managers needed many more and far more reliable data from fishing operations. These needs were translated into a tsunami of fishing regulation and data reporting requirement. On-board human observers were initially viewed as a significant way to improve both data collection and real-time on-board monitoring. However, the deployment of on-board fishing observers was found to be very expensive to deploy and difficult to manage and often surmount to a relatively low operational coverage. One obvious solution for the greater demand for a large amount of reliable data was the introduction of modern data technology to the commercial fishing sector. OLSPS has developed a highly sophisticated yet simple-to-use ELOG software system named OLRAC. The OLRAC ELOG was designed to be infinitely customizable for the needs of any fisheries in any countries using any fishing methods. The OLRAC ELOG can also be easily modified to address ever-changing data requirements. This comprehensive data management system is comprised of two units, the OLRAC Dynamic Data Logger, which is the vessel unit, and the OLRAC Dynamic Data Manager, which is the web-based fleet management server. The OLRAC DDL ELOG software is capable of tracking vessel movements in real-time while collecting and recording many types of data, including catch, gear, discard, wildlife interaction, environmental data, and more. Data can be recorded and stored in any kind of format and can include video clips and images. The OLRAC DDL web server can manage data from an entire fleet of vessels to the level of a whole fishery or the entire national fishing fleet. The OLRAC system is presently deployed in many fisheries and is used daily by hundreds of vessels around the world. Last year, OLSPS initiated a joint venture project called MRAP, stand for Electronic Monitoring and Reporting, funded by EA Grants. OLSPS' proposition for this project was to create a tightly integrated electronic monitoring and reporting system. The idea of our proposed system was that the ELOG's reports verification process will be automated to allow the easy extraction of the relevant media using data and time data as a common key between images and report. As part of the integration project, OLSPS offered to test the viability of using AI image recognition technology to automatically scrutinize, EMProduce images and to extract key information such as catch by species estimation and key events like fishing gear deployment and holding, the forbidding discarding of fish, wildlife interaction, etc. This was all the need for manual inspection of the EM footage. My technical team quickly established that image recognition technology is widely available through various open source platforms which we can use and integrate in our system with ease. However, all these AI software tools require very significant amounts, sometimes many thousands, of label relevant images in order to produce accurate result. This requirement presented us with a significant challenge as it became evident to us very quickly that the acquisition of huge number of label images from self-party sources is virtually impossible. In order to try and tackle this challenge, we decided to make the data labeling and model training part of our integrated electronic monitoring and reporting system. This will allow a layperson, user of our software, to conduct a labeling and model training work alone over an extended period of time during normal operation. We are currently investigating few possible models, namely semi-supervised learning with different levels of human intervention. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to present our technology and vision to you. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have or alternatively please feel free to contact me via my details captured below. Thank you very much for sharing the vision and the work of your team, Amos. I was just thinking out loud here when you're talking about your labeled image data sets and the challenges everyone has to get to these labeled image data sets and how we can think of incentivizing a kind of global repository of labeled data sets which have had the oversight of, similarly to how we put books together at FAO, these ID books we work with museums of the world and so on. Do you see there's an opportunity there to help you develop these type of fully autonomous systems, to bring in other players to make this a reality so that we can work more hand in hand? I notice even your team seem to be coming from South Africa and Israel and so on, so multinational teams. How do we bring a multinational vision to the requirement to build really good labeled data sets for everyone to be able to use? Have you got any ideas on that, Amos? Yeah, thanks. Thanks everybody. Good morning. I have many ideas, but I'm not sure that I have many solutions. It's extremely challenging. I'm actually presently involved in another project funded by the European Space Agency about data security and data sharing and how to bridge the gap between data protection and the wanting to share data for scientific, commercial compliance reasons. And as part of it, we approach many organizations that we're working with, Fisherman Organization, Authorities Organization, and right now I can tell you that 80% to 90% of the time the response is negative. People are not prepared to share data. It's even difficult. I mean, it's challenging enough to convince them to have come around the vessel as the notion that some of the data that we are collecting will be shared even in a completely protected, secure, anomalous way is freaking them out for all sorts of reasons. Most of them, to my mind, are not justified. It's a matter of education. It's a matter of continuous challenge. And it's maybe a matter of some type of national and international convention and agreements, but to go to a Fisher or to go even to a fishing association, a fishing company, and to tell them that you want or you need to share their data is almost like actually cutting yourself from any business relationship with them right now. So it's extremely challenging. That talks very much to the challenge ahead of us. And I think that's where sometimes, for example, we have the Committee of Fisheries on Fisheries at FAO where the world's governments come together and they make deals around the things that they believe they need and they normally bring finance to those types of problems. So these are the kind of, you know, when you do have a problem, you can't just chuck money in it, but maybe we can turn to Anton Ellenbrook who can give us some ideas on how FAO has dealt with these types of questions before to build these collaborations around recognized need by the global community. Anton. So for those of you already know FAO, so we hold several secretariats with where we work with fisheries organizations around the planet to start discussing, for instance, standards and guidelines for fisheries and aquaculture. So that can be seem very trivial, but for instance, to have a global definition of what is a fishing net and what classifications there are in fishing nets. It is, of course, it will have implications if you start building a regulation around your fishery. So for FAO, I think it's essential that we can talk to all stakeholders, so from consumers all the way up to national governments, but we need, I think, we cannot talk to all individuals on the planet, so we need to work with you using a structural approach. And I think through the current setup where we talk to fisheries and aquaculture, national international organizations, I think that is also something where we need to bring in these topics surrounding AI, and especially for them, I think for FAO, more the international aspects of using AI, so from ethical aspects to more data quality and data standards, data sharing aspects. But I think in, as an organization, we have this opportunity that we can directly talk to a lot of governments and international organizations. Well, Amos, I think these are the kind of, you know, these are the kinds of initiatives that we're trying to put together now to build a momentum to those types of meetings that will be held and so on. And so it's going to be important for us to make sure we have a platform where these issues can be discussed and letters of support for approaches can come not just from governments, but also from major players and major research groups who are looking for this type of need. Because often when you do put in these types of requirements, there's a financial need. And to get that financial need delivered, often it takes people saying, yes, we need this. This is not something that's come out of somebody's theory of what's needed. This is actually needed. So it'll be very valuable in the future for us to leverage the community that we're building through these types of meetings.


How much money you earn from YouTube shorts is the topic of today's episode of the George show as Introduced by Avienda my daughter. Yes our 13 year old first teenager Let's get right into it If you make videos with YouTube shorts that have other people's content like Shakira, then you make $0 This is the same as on your YouTube channel guys if you upload TV or movie footage you get demonetized same thing with shorts So how do you make money on shorts that actually include your content? Well, there's four different layers of revenue shares cuts Start with the first one per country, let's say United States all the money from YouTube shorts gets pooled and Half of it goes to the music industry if any YouTube short uses any music Half of the revenue for that short goes to the music label then From there you get allocated the creator pool of which only 45% goes to you so First music then less than half of what's remaining goes to you per country That's basically how it works. Here's the 45% now normally we get 55% of all YouTube ad revenue for some reason YouTube felt they're gonna keep an extra 10% for YouTube shorts revenue So YouTube gets the 55% and we keep as the creators only 45% So I encourage you to read all this down there in the description below where we have a link to this YouTube help article That describes exactly how YouTube shorts monetization will work, but I can give you the short answer It's gonna be far less than YouTube video Advertising like AdSense video ads running around your videos Simply because there are so many cuts and the music industry gets their cut and It's per country as a pool not per short and then you only get 45% not 55% of everything Remaining so don't get your hopes up guys It will be a new revenue stream starting February 1st, which is good, but it won't be much Well, let's see nothing is certain until we get to February 1st when YouTube turns on YouTube shorts monetization for everybody Who has enabled it? If you haven't enabled it, then you will get nothing no matter how many views your original shorts get How do you make sure you've enabled your YouTube shorts monetization? Well click that I to see this video Behind me where I explain exactly what you need to do and where you need to click to enable YouTube shorts monetization for your channel So I hope you found this helpful, and I hope we'll all make lots of money on YouTube shorts and What do you guys think? I know many of you are not fans of YouTube shorts You've said if you see YouTube shorts and your feed you unsubscribe from that channel instantly Come on guys. There's some good YouTube short I personally like only certain kinds of shorts which you can see on our Vicki our heartbeat prototype Which is a video wiki at vi.ki. Just click shorts and these are my favorite shorts that I've recorded on Vicki and I'll play one for you Elon Musk's unusual question that eliminates liars and bad employees Roll it Elon. How do you choose your team? be somewhat well, I suppose honestly that It tends to be gut feel more than anything else So when I interview somebody that might have your questions always the same. It's always the same I said tell me the story of your life and And the decisions that you made along the way and why you made them and then And then and also tell me about some of the most difficult problems you worked on and how you solved them That's the key right there. Tell me about the most difficult problems you've worked on and how you solve them It's a great interview question because the people who really solve them know all the details and those that Pretended to solve them they can go maybe one level deep and then they get stuck just as Elon says and That that question I think is very important because the people that really solve the problem They know exactly how they solved it. They know the little details and the people that pretended to solve the problem They can maybe go one level and then they get stuck And that's it. That's the YouTube short and In the short I also have a timecode here at 24 seconds If you click it the most difficult problems you worked on and which jumps exactly to the key point of this short in my opinion This is called a heartbeat moment guys and soon you will be able to create them for Your exciting moments moments that matter to you But for now just go to vi.ki and see the moments that matter to me, and if you want to just see see shorts The seashell by the seashore you can just go here and this is one of my favorite from Game of Thrones and it's actually a spine-chilling quote from Peter Baylisch here it is What is it or why is that It does not matter what we want because once we get it we want something else Very true. That's all about human nature What we don't have is what we want but once we get it we want something else So it doesn't even matter what we want because we'll always want something else right guys Are we never satisfied? I think some of us may be but most of us We just keep seeking for the next big thing And what's our next big thing? That's heartbeat. We're doing the same thing. We built freedom Then we created freedom games. It became successful now We're gonna build heartbeat as the world's memories YouTube is the world's video library Heartbeat is the world's memories the moments that matter to you and this is the prototype Much more coming soon.

I want to announce our panel to take a little bit more of a look at this. And first, I have someone I know very well, and I have someone that I know his work, but we have not met in person yet. And Phil Geraldi, I've known for quite some time. Phil is a regular contributor to our institute's website. He's one of my favorite writers. He writes from experience. He spent a couple of decades in the CIA and operations. He knows the Middle East like the back of his hand. And he's a terrific writer. He's always uncovering something. And Phil, I think, is such an asset to our movement, what we're trying to do. Someone who's been there and knows it. Professor T. Hunt Tuley is the chairman of the history department at Austin College. And his expertise really is the Great War, which is so appropriate today. He's the author of The Great War, Western Front and Home Front. And I think it's excellent that the Mises Institute invited him because this sort of pulls the strings together. So welcome, panelists. Let's sit down and have a conversation. What we're going to do is each panelist will present five to seven minutes synopsis of what they are thinking about. And then we will open it up to a discussion, and we would like to involve all of you in the discussion. There are little microphones I'm told that you can throw at each other and ask questions. When the questions do come, please make sure they are phrased in the form of a succinct question so we can get as many people in it so we can answer specific questions. So let's get started. No? OK. Dan and David Stockman between them stole virtually everything I was going to say. So what I'll try to do is throw out a few comments, which I hope will be supplementary to what they've suggested. And these won't be in any specific order or not necessarily connected, but hopefully they'll be useful. The first thing I would ask people to consider is that the premise for this conference is actually incorrect. I would suggest that the United States actually doesn't have a foreign policy. A foreign policy, virtually by definition, is a coherent plan that essentially pulls together different elements in terms of how the United States interacts with the rest of the world. What we've been seeing ever since 9-11 is essentially something quite different. We've been seeing a reaction to what is going on in the rest of the world. And the original intention of a foreign policy to protect American interests and to protect Americans traveling or in business has basically been abandoned. So I think that's something that people should consider. We have really walked away from what the principle was for having a foreign policy as seen by Jefferson and others. Another thing that occurred to me when I was listening to the previous speeches was that in my own history, I voted for George W. Bush in 2000, I voted for Obama twice, and I voted for Trump. In every case, the reasoning was exactly the same. These people represented, to me, the peace candidates, in some cases, only by virtue of who they were running against. But the fact was, they were people that were promising a change of direction in terms of the United States and how we conduct our policies. In terms of what I did and what they have done, I would deduce that we've been betrayed that basically the people in this country, which I think, both from the right and left, constitute a considerable part of the electorate that really do want peace, have been betrayed by both parties. And I think this is something to consider, that the peace movement that David Stockin was talking about, I think, is actually much bigger than we see it, because we generally come out of our own bubbles, politically speaking. And from our own bubble, we may not see that there are people that are politically on the other side that share a lot of our concerns. The trick will be to bring all of this together. Another thing that David brought up was essentially that the investigations of what happened in Syria, just like a Russia gate, will probably produce no result. And I think that's an accurate assumption on this part. But coming out of the intelligence community, I would say the sad thing about this is that the intelligence community and the US government know exactly what happened in both cases. But whether this will ever come out or not is doubtful. I think what we really need is a whistleblower. And I think in people in their conversations with people who work for the government and national security should subtly hint to people that this might be a good idea. Finally, I think it's important to assess just how serious what is going on today in Syria really is. I consider this just as bad as the invasion of Iraq. And there are two reasons for that. For one thing, ISIS was on the verge of destruction. It's gone the other way. The other thing was the Russian relationship was improving. That's gone the other way. These are extremely serious issues. And I think that they're going to be very destructive for the United States if Trump is not reined in. Thank you. Professor. Am I on? Is that on? OK. Well, I think this is a very good time to talk about peace and war from a historical's perspective. It's a good idea. Since 100 years ago this week, we began the week at peace and we ended the week at war. So we're talking today in part about prospects for peace today. Are there prospects? And as a historian, I'm a little bit conflicted there because historians are pretty good with the past and we're pretty bad with the future. So I remember the day I told my students at the Berlin Wall, which I'd just been seeing after a research trip to East Germany would not fall in my lifetime or theirs. And two weeks later it fell. So they were pretty pleased, you can imagine. So I have three short points and two are kind of historical and one is not quite as historical. First of all, this vilification of Russia that we see in the press, the systematic cranking up of the steam and above all of Putin as yet one more face of evil. I've been working a lot lately thinking about American intervention into the war in a course of a series of essays. And I'm just put in mind the whole run-up to World War I and American intervention in particular. The press was a pretty much British subvention but there were many, many forces of the government that really made it appear that the Kaiser was the face of evil and that the Germans were the root of all evil. This was a technique that had been invented a while before by the British but it was used in this big way to say, OK, focus people's ideas on this one face of evil. A phrase, by the way, which Time Magazine adopted beginning with many tyrants in our times, Gaddafi and many others, but since then it has become much more sophisticated and we've got a virtual machinery of creating faces of evil in that same imperial city that David Stockman mentioned.  So this has become the indispensable part of the sort of propaganda for war, I think. And that's where we find ourselves today looking at Assad and we had to have at this point some kind of terrible event with children involved. The second point is that there were in the period of World War I, as I say, I've been working on American intervention. And it's a tragic but exciting material to study. One aspect the heroic rearguard action by about 50 members of the House and six or eight senators who just fought like mad to keep that war from happening in spite of having the deck stacked against them and so forth, they filibustered an armed ship's bill which fighting Bob LaFollette said would mean war if it passed. And they filibustered that out of existence. But a few days later, the administration was able to conquer anyway and just persuade everybody. Their vote was 50 congressmen opposed and six senators, LaFollette and Norris and others opposed. But I want to point out this. And thinking about this, they did all this without a coherent anti-war, anti-interventionist movement with a deep background of economic and political philosophy behind it. They did it without Ron Paul. They did it without the Ron Paul Institute. They did it without the Mises Institute. So I say all honor to their names. But I do believe that puts us in a better situation today. Finally, just a very short point. If peace is to have a chance, let me give my opinion. It won't come because of some individual politician who comes to power and makes peace. It has to come from changing minds and perceptions. Something that I suppose all of us in this room are engaged in and a part of. Education at all levels is certainly the key. And in this regard, there is, I think, since 2003 and above all, since 2008 and the election, there is a huge growth in the understanding of the deep state. And therefore, I'm optimistic about the prospects for peace. Thank you very much, Professor. And thank you, Phil, for your comments. I'm going to take the right of the chair, I guess, and ask a couple of questions, one each of you. Professor Julia, I'm fascinated by the media. I always have been. I think it's such an important part of how it shapes our opinions and our views of the world. And I think you made a very interesting comment. At the time of World War I, what a strong role the media played in the indecision. And one thing I noticed when the Syrian missiles flew and the stories came out of why, it seemed like the media, in the large sense, was completely bifurcated. And I mean, on the one hand, the mainstream media was lockstep, as David Stockard mentioned, lockstep behind. But, and Jeff Deis has mentioned this, we now can create our own media for better or for worse through social media. And I went on to my Twitter and my Facebook, and I looked at the people and the institutions that I follow, and it was night and day. They were questioning. They were speculating. In some cases, they were conspiracizing, if that's a word. So what do you make of this idea that the media monopoly has been broken? Oh, I think that's really important. I think it's vital to everything we're doing. I mean, think of the multitude of sort of network connections that end up with all of us being here together in this room. Yeah, it's a very crucial thing to our movement. And your shows, Ron Paul Institute and I watch YouTube videos and get great information from all kinds of people. Yeah, I think this is crucial. And as you say, it just goes, it's this kind of viral quality. So that's wonderful. And Phil, I'll ask you a quick question. You spent decades in the intelligence community. You still know people there and have good contacts. You mentioned that they know what happened was very different than what we've been told is happening. If you could take a guess, what do you think is going on in the intelligence community right now as we sit here? Well, I can't speak for the whole intelligence community, but I certainly can speak for the circle of people that I know that are retirees and some of whom are still in fact, working on contract for the US government. There's a great deal of dissent going on in terms of what is happening. This has been generated by the fact that as I hinted at before, there are people inside the system who witnessed what happened two days ago and filmed it, saw it happening live from a drone and they talked to their friends. And they say, look, what we saw, what we perceived was precisely or was a lot closer to what the Russians are saying happened than what the White House is saying happened. I was personally astonished when President Trump immediately jumped on Syria.  And dad made the comment to me that basically he was getting his feed from what was going on in the mainstream media. In other words, he wasn't talking to his intelligence community, which could have given him possibly some reason to pause. Instead, he was listening to what Fox News was saying. So this is a very scary thing if we have a president who's driven more or less by what is perceived or is perceivable as factual information and is more driven by sentimental information that's being put out by the media, which is basically a commercial product trying to sell what it has and saying what it thinks will be most popular. Do we have some questions out there from the audience? First hand went up in the back. You gotta catch this though, that's the key. If you don't, it's a miss. You're gonna get it. Oh, right? That's neat. All right, so can anybody hear me? Okay. I have a question about the concept of extreme vetting in light of what is happening in Europe. Is that a good thing to do extreme vetting or is this just a case of being xenophobic and paranoid? Extreme vetting again is kind of a catchphrase. If you're opposed to it, you see it as an extremist act and if you're in favor of it, you see it as something justifiable. I think the reality is that our immigration system, our refugee system, our asylum system, they're all connected is broken. How do you tell that someone who comes from a war zone who has no documents, who he is, what he's about, what he's doing? So when Donald Trump was raising these issues initially, they made a lot of sense. The problem is it then becomes dogma, it becomes doctrine and the doctrine punishes the innocent together with the guilty without fixing the system. I would be much in favor of them looking for ways to fix the system rather than to punish people who might get caught up in it. Norman? Conventional wisdom in DC on Thursday was that the Trump administration with the allegations of the manufactured scandals of his connections to Putin and the failure to pass Obamacare repeal and replace was causing his administration to flounder. Conventional wisdom on Friday morning was he was on the path to becoming the next Lincoln because he was killing a lot of children. To what extent do you think that those political considerations may have contributed to a wag the dog type scenario at least in the Oval Office? And also what does this mean between the reported conflict between Steve Brand and the more nationalist populist America first or restrained foreign policy and rents previous and Trump's son-in-law who represent more of a traditional establishment tarry and rule the world and invade the world and invite the world point of view? I agree. Well, and I basically do agree with the premise of your questions, which all were aimed at, yeah, the things we've been talking about. I may kick this back to Phil if he wants to take that, or you did. Well, I was just gonna say, you know, there is a precedent when President Clinton got into trouble in a different sort of way and the Aspen family factories in Sudan were taken out. So there certainly is a precedent for this sort of thing. Is there any sense that this, in other words, if he was just reading the news and not getting, not resorting to intelligence? Is there any way that that was formulated, rounded, created that situation by the intelligence community? I don't think it was created by the intelligence community. It was created by the White House is pretty clear. I think it is a plausible hypothesis that Trump would allow this to happen or encourage this to happen as a way of getting back at the Russiagate attacks against him by saying, look, I'm doing something against the Russians. I'm attacking their ally. And it makes a lot of sense that he did that. And there are other elements of it that make sense to support that argument. For example, the Russians knew way in advance that this attack was coming. The US had a hotline connected with Russian intelligence and told them an hour before the attack was coming. The Russians and the Syrians were able, more or less, clear out the air base. So it seems to have been an attack that was intended to minimize actual damage as a way to mitigate the reaction of the Russians. Now that hasn't worked, as Dan pointed out. The Russians didn't buy into this. They're very offended by what occurred and what the implications of it are. So I think that this may have been a clever, or as the English would put it, too clever by a half move on the part of the administration to deal with the Russiagate issue and to look tough at the same time. Unfortunately, the result has been both to strengthen the ISIS and the other terrorist groups in Syria at the same time, weaken the relationship with Russia, maybe in a fatal way. So almost sounds like a hundred million dollar temper tantrum, green box. You might have partially answered my question already, but my question is given all of the positive rhetoric between Trump and pre-election and given the strategic importance of the negotiations with China and how the timing of the missiles coincided perfectly with China, do you think there was actually any kind of more backdoor, like you previously mentioned with Russia, where Trump is like, hey, if you kind of let me get away with little missile strike to show demonstration of strength against China, maybe I'll scratch your back in the future. Obviously you have to trash talk it in the media and you have to do your things in your PR and then we have to do our PR, but ultimately let's not try to start World War III out of this. Let me get a little demonstration of strength against China and maybe I'll just help you with Crimea or easing of sanctions down the road after this all kind of plays out. We get our cake with China. What's your thoughts on, I guess, all of that? Well, I think that's a very possible scenario and of course, I can't know, we don't have any information on this right now, but of course, the basic problem is that it's president who is came out as being in a sense kind of anti-interventionist, but never accepted the premise that I suppose most of us in this room accept that you just shouldn't go looking for monsters. So I think that's what makes us have to ask all these, do all this specific speculation. It's like the old Sovietologist, you know, stringers who sat outside of Red Square to see which lights were on in the Kremlin and things like that. You know, it's just, it's speculation, but I think it sounds highly possible to me. And my only problem with that is that the Kremlinologists were usually wrong. So I worry about speculation on plausibilities and I think oftentimes there's too much complexity put into the possibilities of these kinds of relationships. And I would add that it's a very subtle scenario and Trump doesn't do subtle very well. Blue box. Yeah, I have two short questions. One, Phil mentioned that we needed more whistleblowers and I agree. And I'm wondering, there hasn't been much talked about in the media about this, but I'm wondering is our contractors treated differently with results to the whistleblower statute. And then also I was real shortly, I was just wondering why we can't seem to get any or why nobody in Congress in these intelligence communities seems to know anything about or can't get any documentation about what happened in various surveillance activities. It's like they're being stonewalled. Yeah, two questions there. Whistleblower, there's federal legislation for whistleblowers who are government employees. Whistleblower legislation is my understanding for people who are just employees of companies varies from state to state. I think that's the reality. So we'd have to depend on what the law was in the state where the whistleblowers company was located. So it's not as easy for contractors, that's for sure. And what was the second question? Oh, yeah, got it, yeah, got it. Okay, as this was being debated on Thursday, they're debating in the Senate a resolution condemning Syria and calling for action. The, it was my understanding that the senators were not receiving any background information from the intelligence community. And the only reason I couldn't possibly understand why that was the case was because the White House must have been blocking it. So yeah, this is an awful situation where our elected representatives are not allowed to see the information that the government has when they're being called upon basically to agree with a document that's calling for possible acts of war. It's incredible. But I mean, I wonder if they not getting any information because there isn't any information. Everyone says that Putin hacked the election, Russian hacked the election, but what did they do? And then when they're put into a corner, they say something vague like somehow RT mesmerized a middle America factory worker into voting for Trump. When you pin them down, they can't point to what did the Russians do? Did they hack the ballot boxes? No, they didn't do that. We know they didn't do that. What did they do? Did they hack the, did they hack Podesta's emails? Well, his password was password. So, you know, there wasn't a lot of geniuses. And then there's the crowd strike issue. You know, the only organization that took the forensic evidence of the hacking turns out to be founded by a guy who has very shady circumstances, very closely tied to the Atlantic Council, which is a pro let's go to war Russia outfit and also is on the payroll of the FBI. Yeah, and the other thing I would point out when you talk about change of evidence, you know, if a sophisticated intelligence service, which certainly the Russians had was setting out to do this hack, to demoralize our democracy, to get Donald Trump elected as all has been alleged and basically bought completely by the mainstream media. They would be able to hide their tracks and they would, believe me, there are a number of things that they could do to get this information and to make sure that nobody would be able to pick up the trail as to where it finally went. So I'm not saying the Russians did it, but I'm saying if they did it, well, it's a waste of time to do an investigation. And that's why these investigations are such a frustrating thing.  All they're basically gonna do is enfeeble the Trump administration which after Thursday might be a good thing. But they're not gonna accomplish anything. Okay, let's go to green. Yeah, a simple question. Why do we believe the North Koreans have nukes? All the tests so far have been well, well under critical mass. If you don't have 15 kilotons, you don't have critical mass, you didn't have a nuke. So why is it that we're believing these one kiloton tests, which could just as easily be fertilizer bombs? The fact is many people in the intelligence community don't believe that North Korea has a nuclear weapon. They believe just as you are speculating that the tests that the nuclear, that the North Koreans have pointed to as evidence that they have these weapons were caused by conventional explosives or similar. And there are people that have been saying that and believe that. It's obviously in North Korea's interest to allege that it has nuclear weapons as a deterrent. So I think you have to pay your money and take your choice, but the US government obviously has by and large bought into the theory that they do have nuclear weapons. I think we have time for one more. I've got the blue in the corner. Thanks for the panel guys. I'm a PhD student. So my question's more about the role of academics and other pieces of the intelligentsia. How do you view both normatively and positively? So how you think it ought to be and how it just is right now, the role of academics and so-called the intellectual class with regard to the anti-war movement. Thank you. Overwhelmingly still in academe and especially in the disciplines with history and political science foreign relations, sociology, these kinds of disciplines, people are financed by money that directs them in a certain way for generations. The professors and the professoriate has been completely indoctrinated by stages as they go through graduate school. And so if you took the whole picture, it would look pretty grim. But on the other hand, most of these academics are pretty quiescent and they're basically investigating the dress links of dolls in 18th century New York or something, that's not really that striking. So I think that there are a few academics who are really effective and some of them work in different kinds of institutions. Some of them are at high profile research institutions and some are not. But I think that for example, if you go to one of the Mises economics conferences, you'll find that there are fellow travelers everywhere throughout the disciplines. So that too, I mean, I think it's a big uphill battle to think that you would ever convert that kind of mass in those kinds of years and generations of sort of indoctrination, sort of the acceptance of social democracy, sort of the acceptance of Marxism light and all of these kinds of things. But again, I mean, I see that in this case, the glass is not at all half full, but there's something there in the glass anyway. And I think that that's still very useful to have. I would just add to that the put in a plug for the Ron Paul Institute's academic board. We have people like Professor Klaus Renn, who's dedicated his career to promoting a better foreign policy and a brilliant man and also professors Flint and Hillary Leverett, Flint is at University of Pennsylvania and Hillary is teaching at American. They wrote a seminal work going to Tehran, which argued that we need a Nixon to China moment to have an opening with Iran, which to his credit is something that President Obama did to the consternation of almost everyone in Washington. So they get credit for that. And I think we're gonna have to close out the panel, but thank you very much to the panelists, Phil Geraldi, Professor Huntouli. Thank you so much for joining us.


greetings and welcome back to the New Testament survey. So we are continuing to study on the next letter, letter to Jude. What do we know about Jude? Who is Jude? Anyone from the class? James brother. Okay. Okay. That's good. Just sharing the presentation. Give me a minute. Sorry. I'm just sharing. Okay. Jude known to be Jude's brother. Okay. James brother. Yeah. Jude James brother. Okay. Okay. So there are several people in the New Testament. I'm sure we would have come across who are the other Jude that we have come across as we studied the Gospels or the other epistles? Judas. Okay. Judas who betrayed Jesus. Okay. Who's the next person in Gospels Matthew and Mark all four Gospels along with the book of Acts. We see a Judas who was an apostle and son of James is also called as Tadeus. And when we read, yeah, we also see there's another Judas acts chapter five. Can I request all to turn to acts chapter five verse 37? If you have taken, can you please read? And the next person turn to acts 9 11 acts chapter five verse 37. Ex chapter five 37. After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the senses and drove away many people after him. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. So there's another Judas here. Judas of Galilee. This is a different person and acts 9 11. Acts 9 11. So the Lord said to him arise and go to the street college state and inquire at the house of Judas for one college soul of Tarsus for behold, he is spring. Thank you. So we see that this Judas is a man from Damascus who provided home for Saul to stay after his encounter with Jesus and acts 15 22 acts 15 22. Another person turned to Mark chapter six verse three. Yes. Then it pleased the apostles and elders with the whole church to send chosen men of their own company to engage with Paul and one was namely Judas who was also named one was Silas leading men among the one was was and yes. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Nikhil. So we see there's another Judas is also named as Barsobus who traveled with Silas from Jerusalem delivering the decrees from the council. And lastly in map. Okay, Mark chapter six verse three. If you have taken can you please read Mark chapter six verse three. Is this not chapter six verse three? Is this not the carpenter the son of Mary and brother of James Jesus Judas and Simon. Okay, so we are talking about the natural brother of Jesus the half brother of Jesus. So this Judas. Yes, as you all said, he was the brother of James, but he was also half brother of Jesus. So Jude who is most likely to be the author of this book was the natural brother of Jesus and James. So this is what we read in Jude chapter one verse one saying Jude born servant of Jesus Christ and brother of James. So Jude was numbered among Jesus other siblings who were not immediately convinced that Jesus was Messiah. And we also see like, you know, even yesterday when we were starting on the letter to James, we studied on few of the scripture verses on John chapter two. Can you all turn John chapter two verse 11 and 12 John chapter two verse 11. This beginning of signs Jesus did in Tana of Galilee and manifested his glory and his disciples believed in him. After this, he went down to Cappanna whom he his mother, his brothers, his disciples and they did not stay there many days. Thank you. So we see that James or Jude, they traveled with Jesus on various occasions on the ministry. So he also was absent from the foot of the cross when Jesus was crucified. He was not there. We saw when we started the letter of James, James was not there. And even Jude was not present at the time of Jesus crucifixion. And he was one among the first to receive the message of Christ resurrection, because Jesus said, for I have yet to ascend to the Father, but go find my brothers and tell them that I'm ascending to my Father and your Father, my God and your God. And Jude was also present. He was one among the 120 people who were present in the upper room waiting for the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. We also see in Jude verse 17. Can I request all to read verse 17? Jude chapter 1 verse 17. But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you. So what we see here is Jude was also humble in nature that he didn't put himself as one among the 12 apostles. He said he did not consider himself among the 12 apostles, but he gave them the prominent. So little is known beyond this about Jude that what is written in the scripture. So the occasion for the book of Jude, as Jude was written after 2nd Peter's, we see the concerns are saying addressing this letter is written to address against the false teachers and false ministries that were creeping into the church. So this was a major concern. If you see when we read different letters of our apostles and the leaders in the church, the only concern that they all had was about sharing the gospel. As they share the gospel, they also see the heresies, the false teachers spreading out false teaching among the believers that was a concern. Here you see Jude's major concern was these false teachers and false teachings that were spreading across in the church. So he is writing this letter to warn the believers. He's writing to warn the believers against these false teachers and false ministries that is coming against the gospel of Jesus Christ. So how does he address himself? Even before he writes this letter and warns the believers, he addresses himself. When we read Jude chapter one verse one, we see that he addressing himself as the born servant of Jesus Christ and brother of Jesus. So he's relating himself to say that I'm the witness of Jesus. So what I am saying as more weight, because I have lived with him, I've seen him. He was truly a human and he was truly the Messiah, the Son of God. And he is writing with a clear conviction in him. And this letter seemed to be written approximately between 66 to 80 AD. The main message of this book was Jude is reminding them the true faith is a struggle for which we must contend because there were persecution around them. But at the same time, the false teachers were creeping in. So he is encouraging the believers in the church to hold on to the true faith. And he also warns the church against the false ministries and teachers. And he's also warning them against the flattery words. You know, false teachers come with a lot of flattery words. But he's saying, be very careful, avoid any flattery words because that is not what we wanted. And he is actually describing the false ministry leaders as dreamers. They are the defilers. They are the people who work against the gospel. They are the ones who try to serve themselves. They're not here to serve others. They are double-tongued wandering stars, murmurers, complainers. They are mockers. Be very careful with what they carry and come toward you. Can I request you all to read verse 11? So Jude is also describing, is actually giving us a description on what is an apostle ministry. So can I request you all to read verse 11? Woe to them, for they have gone in the way of Cain, have run greedily in the error of Lamb for profit and perished in the rebellion of Koran. Thank you. So as the Jewish believers were very familiar with the Old Testament scriptures, here you see Jude addressing some of the Old Testament actions, like he's comparing these false teachers. He's comparing to the Old Testament saying, they are following the way of Cain in a path of willful sin. These are the people who are impenitent or self-righteous. And he's also addressing the error of Balaam in the path of covetousness or greed, covetousness towards the goods. And he's also addressing the rebellion of Koran from the book of Numbers. He's quoting all these for the people to understand that these false teachers are like those people who are deceiving in nature. And he's also addressing some things like Apostle Paul spoke about the common faith and how Apostle Paul urged people to receive no other gospel than the gospel of Jesus Christ. It is the same way he's emphasizing when we read chapter three, sorry verse three, verse three, he says, beloved, while I was very diligent to write to you concerning a common salvation, I found it necessary to write to you, exerting you to contend earnestly for the faith which was once for all delivered to the saints. So he's addressing on Apostle Paul teaching and preaching and how we urge people to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ and not any other gospel. And Apostle Paul also urged people to mark those who did not correspond to the tradition to hand over. So you need to hand over this gospel from one generation to the other generation because that carries power. Jude and Apostle Paul, both we see that they urged believers to earnestly contend for the faith that was delivered to them by the Apostles because they were the eyewitness of Jesus. And in the closing verse, can I request one of you all to read verse 20 to 25 please? But you loved building yourselves upon your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourself in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ and to eternal life and own some have compassion, making a distinction. But others served with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the place.  We glory at majesty, dominion and power both now and forever amen. Thank you. So we see in the script in the verse that you read from verse 20 to 25, we see certain keywords that has been used as key or kept. So the last few verses outlines the believer's responsibility in relationship and relation to keep themselves and to others. They are to keep themselves in the love of God and building themselves in this truth by faithfully praying in the Holy Spirit. Next point we see in verse 22 to 23, they are to have mercy on others and save them out of the fire.  Verse 24 says they are to look to God who is able to keep them from stumbling. So we need to pray fully handled and minister to others. So the letter of Jude, we see that though there are only 25 verses in this one chapter, we see that the letter starts with the greeting and there is a purpose. So what is the purpose of this letter? We see that the purpose of this letter is to show mercy, peace and love. And by there's a message like what to do by contending the faith that we have and how you need to be aware of the false teachers where we may slip into those teachings. So here Jude is actually warning against the false teachers from verse 5 to verse 16. We see that is warning against these false teachers and he is exposing them to each of the believers saying be very careful against these false teachings. So he is not only by exposing them, he's also warning the believers. He's warning them to be aware and be away from these people. Keep yourself strong in the word of God. Pray in the Holy Spirit that you may not fall into, fall into pray for any of these false teachings. And at the end verse 24 to 25, it gives a benediction, gives a benediction and the theme of this letter, we see that Jude is exposing the false teachers and he is commending the believers to stand firm in the faith that they have. So the purpose of this letter, we see that is twofold. So first one is he is exposing the false teachers who are coming against the Christian believers and the second we see that he is encouraging the believers to stand firm in the faith and fight against these heresies. He's saying hold on to the truth and come against these false teachers. So we see that Jude is bringing an awareness against these false teachers and the false teaching to the believers is very aggressive in nature and he's clearly talking about it. And also he is bringing the importance of, you know, is bringing the importance for the believers to stand firm on the faith that they have on Jesus Christ. So believers were to do this by remembering the teaching that they receive from the apostles directly who were the eyewitnesses and he's telling hold on to those teachings and build upon it and you make sure that you pass on to your generation. Now how do you pass on? You need to hold on to it carefully by praying in the Holy Spirit and keeping themself in the love of God so that they, the believers may not fall prey to the false teachers or to the false teachings. Now as Jude is writing to the church there, he's also writing to us even in our times because there's always false teachers and false teachings spreading across the nation. So we need to hold on to the word of God. We need to stand firm in the faith that we have received through the word so that we may not fall prey to any of these false teachers or false teachings around us. So yeah, this is what Jude is encouraging even in verse 17 as we read. He says, but you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ and verse 20, 21 he says, but you beloved, building yourself up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ until eternal life. And he ends with the benediction in verse 24 and 25 he says, now to him who's able to keep you from stumbling and to present you fall less before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy to God our Savior who alone is wise be glory and majesty, dominion and power both now and forever. Amen. So he's ending with a powerful benediction. Hold on to Lord Jesus Christ. So this is something that we also end this letter with saying, hold on to the faith, stand firm into the faith, stand firm on this faith that you have received and hold on to Jesus, hold on to the truth that we may not fall prey to any of the false teachers or false teaching that come across even in our time. So as we end this letter, would you like to share anything about the letter of John or Jude that can add on to our class? Or we can end the session with a word of prayer. And next week, we will cover the last letter that is revelations, the book of revelations. And yeah, we will come with that. We will complete the New Testament survey after which we can prepare for our final assessment in the last week of April. I'll put a note on the stream for the online students. Is there any questions or you would like to add anything toward the first, second and third letter to John and letter of John and Jude? Can I request one of you all to please pray? And end this time. Nina, would you like to pray? Father God, we thank you for this time you have given us Lord. We have gone through all the old New Testament survey. Father, we finished it. Lord, help us not to be just hear us, but be the doers of your word Lord. We submit each one of us on your loving hands Lord. Father, we pray that you give us wisdom and understanding to know what to do at the right time, Father. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you so much for joining in today's session. See you all next week with the last letter. God bless. Thank you.


Hey, this is Brett with Summit Automotive in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Today we're doing a test drive in our lifted gladiator that we have on the lot here. This is a 2020 Sport S package. It has a Jeep suspension lift kit that we just put on it. It also has ProComp Xtreme 37x12.5 R20 tires on 20 inch fuel painted and polished aluminum aftermarket rims. Just going to take down the frontage road here. We're doing about 50 miles per hour and boy is this thing ride smooth. It's got just a little bit of road noise, but if you've looked at the photos, it's pretty aggressive tires that we have on here. Rides really smooth. These gladiators ride smooth to begin with, but even with this lift and tires and everything runs really smooth. Really nice ride. It has the 5 inch radio, AM, FM, Bluetooth capabilities, the black cloth interior, really comfortable vehicle. This is probably one of the bumpier roads in Fond du Lac. When I was selling, I used to always tell customers to go down this road, just so they could feel the suspension if they were in a truck or if they were concerned about that, but really a smooth ride. That's really all I wanted to do today is we're going 55 here, 53, and runs really good. This one has the 3.6 liter in it, the 8 speed automatic transmission. As you can see, we're coming up to stop lights here, so I'm going to stop the video, but thanks for checking out the video. If you want to check out a full walk around of this Jeep in the upper right hand part of your screen, there's a link to this video, and I always like to say thanks for checking out the video.
