So I want to talk about what I think is a bombshell article that was recently published in the New York Times This is a piece by Jonathan Martin and it's titled Stop Sanders Democrats agonize over Bernie Sanders momentum now There are two implications embedded in that headline. The first is that there's a group of Democrats who are firmly in the camp of We need to stop Bernie. The second implication is that they're terrified because out of all of the declared candidates He's the front-runner So there's a lot that you can take away from this article just by reading the headline But if you go deeper, it tells me that there is actually a concerted effort To stop Bernie Sanders by members of the Democratic Party Establishment and we're gonna get to some specific paragraphs here that allude to that But first of all when we talk about these stop Sanders Democrats the reasons They claim they're against Bernie Sanders is because they don't necessarily think that he is Best suited to defeat Donald Trump or they're worried that him winning the nomination will catalyze a third-party Challenge by someone like Howard Schultz But for the most part what we need to take away from this is that there are powers within the Democratic Party establishment that are Dedicated to stopping his momentum and they are actively trying to concoct ways that they can undermine him So let's get to some specifics here So Jonathan Martin writes the discussion about mr. Sanders has to date been largely confined to private settings because like establishment Republicans in 2016 Democrats are uneasy about elevating him or alienating his supporters the matter of what to do about Bernie and the larger Imperative of party unity has for example Hovered over a series of previously undisclosed Democratic dinners in New York and Washington Organized by longtime party financer Bernard Schwartz The gatherings have included scores from the moderate or center-left wing of the party including speaker Nancy Pelosi of California Senator Chuck Schumer of New York minority leader former governor Terry McAuliffe of Virginia May repeat Buddha judge of South Bend, Indiana Himself a presidential candidate and the president of the Center for American Progress near attendant So let's just stop and try to take in What was just confirmed in this article? there are previously undisclosed Democratic dinners where the subjects what to do about Bernie and Party unity has come up and the individuals who partook in these discussions include Democratic Party leadership Center for American Progress president and neoliberal near attendant and Pete would a judge currently Officially confirmed to be conspiring with leadership to undermine Bernie Sanders. No if you want to be overly Charitable here. You can say well look they're talking about two things They're talking about one what to do about Bernie and two how we can foster party unity So maybe it's the case that they're talking about unifying behind Bernie Sanders because it looks like he's gonna be the But also it could very well be the case that they're talking about how they're going to be able to cultivate party unity after they fuck him over again Now for me, I mean, I'm sorry But I am a lot more cynical about the Democratic Party because the Democratic primary in 2016 was Disgusting it was disgraceful. They overtly rigged it against Bernie Sanders Now I'm not saying that they fixed it that it was impossible for Bernie Sanders to win But what happened was the DNC colluded with Clinton's team to give her an unfair advantage It even screwed over Lawrence the sig Martin O'Malley. So it wasn't just Bernie Sanders So after seeing that they did that after hearing the DNC's lawyers admit that if they truly wanted to it would be legal for them To just unilaterally choose the Democratic nominee in a smoke-filled room I'm going to interpret this in the most cynical way possible because History dictates that that's what we should do So Chuck Schumer, Nancy Pelosi, Pete Buttigieg, Terry McCullough, near-attendant Are all meeting behind closed doors to discuss the matter of what to do about Bernie Sanders Wow Wow it's Honestly, not surprising But you'd think after 2016 when they were exposed They'd be a little bit less brazen about trying to undermine Bernie Sanders in such a public way Now I know why these dinners were previously undisclosed and to think that Pete Buttigieg Himself who is a presidential candidate who I think would want impartiality. He's meeting with Democratic Party leadership Talking about this as well What's so special about Pete that he gets to be included in these conversations if you're going to genuinely Have a good-faith argument about what we can do to foster party unity. Wouldn't you want to include the other? presidential candidates Bernie Sanders Kamala Harris even Joe Biden people who actually have a real shot at winning But they chose to bring in Pete Buttigieg That tells you a lot about him now another thing that is discussed in this article is Superdelegates so it is possible that since there are so many candidates running that could splinter the vote among the Establishment centrist wing of the party which would give Bernie Sanders a plurality But it very much could be the case that Bernie doesn't get enough votes to secure the nomination in the first round so they talk about this prospect of what would happen in the event a second vote came up and Whether or not they'd rule out Choosing someone other than Bernie and it seems like they don't want to do that because obviously if you just Steal an election away from Bernie publicly in front of everyone you essentially guarantee a Trump victory So it seems like they don't want to do that But let me read to you what they specifically say quote if I had to bet today We'll get to Milwaukee and not have a nominee said Leah Dottree who was neutral in the 2016 Democratic Party primary now. This is someone who is a DNC member The reason she theorized is simple super Tuesday when at least 10 states vote comes just three days after the last of four early States after that nearly 40% of the delegates will have been distributed and she suspects carved up among Democrats so that nobody can Emerge with the majority unlike Republicans who used a winner-take-all primary format Democrats use a proportional system So candidates only need to garner 15% of the votes in a primary or caucus to pick up delegates And even if a candidate fails to capture 15% statewide He or she could still win delegates by meeting that boat threshold in individual congressional districts Should no bargain be struck by the time of the first roll call vote at the 2020 convention in Milwaukee Such as a unity ticket between a pair of the leading delegate winners The nomination battle would move to a second ballot and under the new rules crafted after the 2016 race That is when the party insiders and elected officials known as superdelegates would be able to cast a binding vote The specter of superdelegates deciding the nomination particularly if mr. Sanders is a finalist Is highly unappetizing to party officials if we have a role So be it but i'd much prefer that it be decided in the first round Just from a unity standpoint said senator debbie stable now of michigan So it seems like if they're going to undermine bernie sanders What i get from that is that they're going to try to do it in a covert way Hence why they're doing these Private closed door meetings because again if you truly want to defeat donald trump and i believe that Most democrats do not all of them, but most truly want to defeat trump then you can't just Take this person who has the plurality of pledge delegates and snatch it away from them and give the nomination to someone else They would lose In perhaps a landslide election and guarantee that trump is elected for more years So this would make them incredibly deligitimate, which you'd think that they would already be delegitimized after 2016 But nonetheless if you do it in such a brazen way like they did or like like they could potentially do That could be harmful. So it's clear to me that We need to not necessarily be as Worried about the second round super delegative vote even though it should still be on our minds We need to be more worried about the more covert ways that they're going to try to undermine bernie sanders And now there's literally a group of stop sanders democrats Discussing what to do about bernie Including democratic party leadership beat buddha judge and your attendant And it's disgusting If you genuinely are concerned about the prospect of party unity You've got to stop with stuff like this, but just keep in mind There's a group of democrats Who are trying to actively undermine bernie sanders and that is really disgusting, but is it surprising? Not at all not at all. It's exactly what I expected because this was my initial prediction Seeing how they undermine bernie in 2016. Are they going to do it again? I think so, but they're gonna do it in a different way. They're not going to limit debates, for example They're going to do it in a way that we wouldn't expect because I mean lightning never strikes the same place twice Right. So why would they do it the same way? They're gonna think of new ways to screw over progressive Now what could be Something that happens is bernie sanders just overcomes the rigging because he's so overwhelmingly popular now He has the name recognition. He's the frontrunner So he could trump the field and this may not matter But nonetheless in the future going forward regardless if he wins or not These are the things that democrats have got to stop and it's why we have to change the makeup of the party leadership And the establishment because it's disgusting. They're not about democracy. They're about protecting their own They're about protecting the status quo and it's morally reprehensible


Good morning and welcome. Thank you for connecting to this morning's class. Let's pray and get started Heavenly Father we thank you for this day Lord. We thank you for this opportunity that you've given Lord and father We pray may your word be sown in our hearts Lord and father let it Lord develop deep roots and enable us so God to Nurture your word and father see it bear fruit Lord at 30 60 and a hundred fold Father we commit ourselves into your hands and our families and Lord we just pray for your hand of protection and blessing upon us. Oh God. Thank you Lord. Thank you once again for this time in your presence in Jesus name. We pray amen All right So this morning we will continue with the subject that we've been looking at so far. We've gone through Hebrews chapter 1 Hebrews chapter 2 and we said that in essence Hebrews chapter 1 was more about the Lord Jesus as deity or Lord Jesus as God the second person or in the Trinity and we also saw how the author Explained that the angels are subject to the Lord Jesus. So they they are not Exalted above him. They are created beings and so he makes a comparison between angels and Jesus to make it very very clear That we need to worship Jesus Christ in chapter 2. It was more about the humanity of our Lord Jesus and the whole chapter began by the author Telling us not to neglect the salvation which we have in Christ Jesus It was really beautiful that both these passages or the writer of the book of Hebrews Starts off by explaining the divine nature of Christ and then the human nature at the same time This is the mystery that we talk about in the Trinity where Jesus is both fully man as well as fully God And it was good to see how Jesus shared in our humanity. He too went through all kinds of Challenges, but he did not give up. He became a High priest for us who represents us well and we see that he was we said Perfect through sufferings which means that he was already perfect, but he just underwent the human Challenges right which otherwise he would not have experienced But he even experienced those things which make him the best high priest that we could ask for because he's able to understand As he's able to call us brothers. Okay, that's where if you've ever heard, you know, Jesus my brother That's that's one of the places where we get this Jesus shared in our humanity and therefore he's become a brother to us And then we talked a little bit about the Atonement the work of atonement that the Lord Jesus did from verse 14 to verse 18 of Hebrews chapter 2 where we saw that he undertook, you know in flesh and Blood and he himself died for us because of which we now have There is victory over the devil that is one thing but the other important thing is the fear of death Which mankind was facing that Jesus is already Overcome for us. So we don't have to be afraid death is not the end for a believer And we also saw that he is the one who made Propitiation for our sins meaning he paid the price for our sins and completed his work on the cross and verse 18 which is also a key verse where we saw For in that he himself has suffered being tempted. He's able to aid those who are Tempted so because he's gone through all these things He has become that perfect high priest who's able to help us out and Especially when we are going through temptation we can call upon him He understands us and he will walk us through it and then we went on to Hebrews chapter 3 where We talked about Jesus being greater than Moses. We saw how the author he calls the believers by with affirming terms holy brethren Partakers of the heavenly calling and you know, he affirms who they are in Christ and he says that though Moses is revered among the Jews He is but a man and a leader of the people whereas the Lord Jesus Christ is God himself and he is the owner of the house. So he gave that illustration of a house the house which is built and Somebody who works in the house is subject to the one who's actually built the house And so Jesus is the builder of the house. Whereas Moses was but a Person who helped out in the house. So Why did he do that? He did that because he knew that the Jews held Moses in very high regard Now he wants them to know that Jesus is the fulfillment of all that Moses spoke about and so Jesus has much higher Much higher position and that people need to understand that especially the Jewish people Otherwise remember they were persecuted and struggling and so the tendency That temptation which they had was to go back to their Jewish roots Which is something that he was warning the people about and telling them, please don't neglect Don't even think of going back and while he was speaking these things to them. He tells them Regarding responding to the voice of God readily and we said that you know One must not carry a heart of unbelief and a heart of unbelief can happen because of many reasons and The keyword we looked at it today. He said respond to God today If God is speaking to you and overcome that unbelief. So that's where where we were at So now we'll continue Hebrews chapter 3 from verse 12 to verse 19 I don't think we read it. We were reading section by section So would like to request one of us to read from Hebrews chapter 3 verse 12 to verse 19 verse 12 Beware brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief in Departing from the living God, but exalt one another daily while it is called today Lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin For we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence Said fast to the end while it is said today if you will hear his voice Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion For who having heard rebelled Indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt led by Moses now with whom was he angry 40 years? Was it not with those who sinned whose corpses fell in the wilderness and To whom did he swear that they would not enter his rest? But to those who did not obey so we see that they could not enter in They could not enter in because of unbelief Thank you, Rosalind. So in this section we Continue to see the exaltation of the writer where again he's telling these people just because of your discouragement Just because of your problems Just because of some of the delays that you are experiencing Don't let go of your faith because this faith that you now have in Christ You must understand that he is God Jesus is the Christ and you know Jesus is greater than any of the patriarchs that you hold so high up and he is Going back to the story of the Israelites when they came out of Egypt and Highlighting the fact that they had a heart of unbelief They saw God do so many wonderful things and yet they could not believe and in the same way He's telling them don't develop that heart of unbelief like the Israelites See here some of the things that he says so going back to verse 12 He says lest there be in any of you Evil heart of unbelief Okay, so he's calling it evil heart. What is the heart of unbelief to God? It's evil because we are not trusting God. So it's an evil heart of unbelief and He Associates departing from the living God so What do we see through this see when we carry unbelief it has the property of Taking us astray It Could bring no some commentary said defilement defilement of the heart the purity of our heart Can be corrupted and so Unbelief to say to say the least is it is dangerous. No wonder Jesus talked so much about faith And said even if you have you know like a tiny Mustard seed faith you can move the mountain and Unbelief can hinder, you know what God can do through faith And so Unbelief is something that one must stay away from and the writer here Associates it with evil evil heart of unbelief and associates it with departing So when the heart gets corrupted and Defiled by unbelief we run the risk of going away from God and we've seen earlier that this may not be Very It's not like one day we wake up and say today. I don't want to follow God, but it's very subtle no day by day Allowing that discouragement and doubt to grow in our hearts and slowly it kind of engulfs the entire space and We no longer have belief. We have given the entire You know sort of portion of our heart to unbelief and then that leads you astray So these are the dangers and the author is saying don't entertain Unbelief now does it mean that we cannot have doubts you we know that that's not what this is saying We've learned about faith in our first year course Yes, sometimes we may have questions and we may have some doubts, which is normal It's natural and that's all right because that should lead us to Know or search about God much more and hopefully you know lead us to greater faith in God That's not the kind of unbelief that we are talking about But the unbelief that we're talking about here is a heart of rebellion No, which is just not willing to trust in God just not willing to obey God like the Israelites And then in verse 13 he says but exalt one another daily While it is called today Let's any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of riches a couple of things for us to note here Exalt one another daily. So there is an encouragement to believers to be there for each other to Nudge one another forward in the faith. So this talks about the benefits of a believing Fellowship a believing community when we are a part of a believing community We can encourage each other. Maybe we share a scripture or a prophetic word or you know We we share our testimony and in this way, what are we doing? So we are encouraging our brother and our sister in a time of waiting in a time of discouragement so and Why is he bringing this in During while speaking to the Jewish believers because as we've been saying time and again, they were discouraged they were in a place where maybe they wanted to give up and Disappointments do this to us or anything that happens in our lives which which discourages us can Push us to a place of unbelief and going away from God So that is why as believers when we see somebody is discouraged or somebody is going through a Painful time in their lives to just be there for them Right. Maybe our encouragement sometimes is only listening to them We may not even give them any advice, but just be there. You're just Listen just be available to help and that's the way the believing community should be and that's what the author means Here when y'all are going through discouragement be there for each other and encourage each other in the faith And that is something a believing fellowship must do and he says while it is called today. So he's saying Immediately Right now be there to encourage each other in the faith. You don't give up. Don't let the others give up and He reminds us of the deceitfulness of sin That's another phrase that we observe here so correct that he Associates deception with sin sin is deceptive.  Actually, no. Yes He you know, he may have intended that you'll get to know right good and evil The way God knows those things but it was just part truth But most of what would happen if they disobeyed God and ate that fruit is that they would be corrupted by sin That part Satan didn't tell them and so what he actually did was deceived and The author is reminding the believers and saying sin is very deceptive The amplified version puts it very beautifully. There are certain words used to describe this deceptive It says cleverness Delusive glamour and sophistication. It just appears very good. It appears very Beneficial but ultimately it leads us down the wrong path and brings destruction in our lives And that's what sin does to us Satan lies to us and says, you know It'll give you those it'll give you pleasure. It'll make you happy But the pleasure and happiness is very momentary and the next thing you realize is your your entangled if you've seen wool when we Maybe we buy it and they have neatly put it together Sometimes they don't roll it into a ball. We are supposed to do it So if it's neatly rolled into a ball, it's fine. We can handle it But imagine we buy it and then before we can roll it in You know, it's it's all messed up. It's so difficult to unentangle a thread or wool sin In our lives is like that. We think we can handle it But before we know it, we are stuck and then we're trying to sort it out from here and there But you know, it might be too late and we don't have the the capacity to come out of sin Which is what the author is warning us about. He said unbelief Deceptiveness of sin. These are all dangerous things.  I'm letting go of my Wisdom my heart of submission to God. I'll just do anything. Okay, because you know, nothing has worked out for me so to not be in that state where we are allowing unbelief and stepping into sin and Pushing ourselves away from God Then, you know, he goes on he says Remember that we have become partakers of Christ if we hold the beginning of our confidence Steady fast to the end. So it's speaking of tenacious faith Yesterday we had a sermon on tenacious faith where We must have faith that is unshakable Okay, will there be different seasons Yes, there will be as You know, we see in the Gospels where Jesus said and you build your house build it on a rock because There'll be rain. There'll be winds. All kinds of seasons will come and go But faith must stand and when we build it on the word of God, we will be able to stand Okay, so that's the kind of faith we need and if we do stand steadfast till the end is What he's talking here about he says then we are partakers of Christ then truly we have understood what we have put our faith in and You know, we we are walking out who we are in Christ And again, you know the reminder he says today if you will hear his voice Do not harden your hearts as in the rebellion. So when the author repeats this over and over again it's like a plea or he's pleading with the people and Telling them, please don't give up. Please don't give up if the Holy Spirit is speaking to you then Be sensitive and respond. Don't make your hearts hard your hearts hard And he reminds them of these people of Israel in verse 16 He says for who having heard rebelled indeed was it not all who came out of Egypt led by Moses and That God was angry for tears Was it not with those who sinned whose corpses fell in the wilderness and to whom did he swear that they would not enter His rest but to those who did not obey. So we see that they could not enter in because of Unbelief, so he's talking about the people of Israel their rebellion their Hardness of heart and he's saying that they made God angry and They also apart from making God angry. They missed out on On there is a concept that he introduces right here the rest of God The rest of God and we will continue to see this at least 11 times. He's repeating this Phrase the rest of God in chapter 3 and chapter 4. We are going to read we are going to understand what it means But he's saying the children of Israel One is they made God angry Through disobedience rebellion hardness of heart sin Second is they missed out They missed out. This is what sin does to us, right? You miss out. God has all these amazing wonderful plans for us and We do whatever we like However, the plans that God has for us are something that we end up missing so for 40 years He was angry 40 years, you know, the interesting part is when you study about the number of days that one needs to go from Egypt to The Promised Land came in Okay, somewhere I read that it's just about I mean it's a matter of days in one place I saw that it was Given as 11 days if they really wanted they could have reached the Promised Land in 11 days now Some you could enter the Promised Land in 11 days, but this generation is going round and round for how many years? 40 years Just think about it. That's what disobedience does Rebellion does hardness of heart does sin does to us God has Wonderful promises, but we don't believe him and Unbelieve is keeping us out of the Promised Land and here Painted uses the word rest Okay, rest associated with You could say the Promised Land. They never entered the rest. We know they never entered the Promised Land Ultimately who entered the Promised Land? It was Caleb. It was Joshua. What is the Characteristic in both of these are people that gave them an opportunity to step into the Promised Land They had a good report They had a heart of faith Compared to the others because the others never believed that they will be able to possess the land, but two men Who can be called as men of faith? They stepped in To the Promised Land or in other words Was 18 he says Enter his rest So they entered the Promised Land Whereas the others did not Rebellion hardness of heart One it makes God angry second it keeps us out of The blessings of God And So no matter what we are going through in our lives, it should only drive us closer to God It must only make us stronger in faith rather than pushing us away from God Having the heart of unbelief. What will it do? It will not allow us to enter Into the promises of God or into the blessings of God So now let's just move on from here We've seen about the heart of unbelief. We've Began talking about the rest of God Now let us continue with chapter 4 where we will read further about rest So could someone please start with Hebrews chapter 4 and read from verses 1 to 7 therefore Since a promise remains of entering his rest Let us fear lest any of you seem to have come short of it For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them But the word which they heard did not profit them not being mixed with faith in those who heard it For we who have believed do enter that rest as he has said so I swore in my rock They shall not enter my rest Although the works were finished from the foundation of the world for for he has spoken in a certain place of the seventh day in this way and Got rested on the seventh day from all his works and again in this place. They shall not enter my rest Since therefore it remains that some must enter it and those to whom it was first preached Did not enter because of disobedience Again, he designates a certain day saying in David Today after such a long time as it has been said Today if you will hear his voice do not harden your hearts Okay, thank you, Lohslin As I said he's continuing to plead with the believers And and telling them please don't give up. Please don't give up There is an opportunity and a possibility to enter the rest of God and Just the way Caleb and Joshua entered you too can enter into the rest of God But what is it that you need? It would be a heart of faith Because unbelief will keep us away from the rest of God. So in this passage again, he's talking about the rest So in verse one he says there is a promise To enter the rest of God In the earlier section the rest of God was referring to the land of Canaan Because they didn't enter the people didn't enter Canaan, but Joshua and Caleb entered Canaan Canaan or the promised land We could sort of You know Understand that in spiritual terms as Receiving all the blessings of God Okay receiving all the blessings of God now under the new covenant, how can one receive all the blessings of God or How can one receive salvation? How can one have peace with God? How can one have? The assurance in their heart that you know their sins are forgiven and now they can worship God in Spirit and in truth and God accepts their worship Only when they have salvation so the rest of God For us to understand right now Is also, you know kind of giving us the picture of the salvation that Jesus bought for us So one can enter into that salvation But what does it need for us to enter into salvation faith in God So when we put our faith in the finished work of the cross we enter into His rest So you see this his rest has many dimensions That's what I'm trying to explain to us. It has many dimensions one of course is about salvation How do we receive salvation by putting our faith in the finished work of the cross and the Author is selling the believers to first of all settle that They're already believers and you know, they can receive from the work of salvation They don't have to be afraid every single day wondering whether, you know Their relationship with God is okay or not and all of that. Secondly The rest of God is also under the new covenant It it it has the element of grace because up until Jesus's redemptive work It was about observance of the mosaic law and if they break Even a small like like the smallest a section of the law there were consequences which they needed to bear And that in itself, you know, you you can see how difficult life would have been under the mosaic law But now the rest of God is to believe in the finished work of the cross and to come into a place in Christ where You know, we we are experiencing the grace That Jesus has poured upon our lives And yeah, and to just enjoy God and worship him all of this has has been made available To the Jewish believers and so he's reminding them. Look, we have all this in Christ This is the rest every single day. We can walk with peace, right as believers You and I can testify to that we can walk in peace saying hey, whatever happens today I know one thing my relationship with God is right and You know, my eternity is is secure because I already have salvation and I'm walking right with the Lord And I don't have to do this thing of salvation by works anymore because Jesus is completely Finished what needed to be done. So it's it's about salvation First we said rest was about going entering into Canaan secondly We are saying his rest is a picture of the salvation that Jesus has bought for us And let's just move on here in the passage. I was explaining verse one and verse two He says for indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them But the word which they heard did not profit them nor being mixed with faith in those who heard it So he's reminding people about the importance of faith and he says What we hear? Okay, yeah, he's mentioning the gospel, but the word of God that we hear It's got to be mixed with faith meaning when we hear the word of God Believe it if we don't believe it There's really no It doesn't produce in our lives, but when we believe it it produces so faith applying faith When we hear the word is very very crucial. So he's still Talking about unbelief and faith verse 3 he goes on And he says for we who have believed do enter that rest as he had said So I swore in my wrath. They shall not enter my rest Although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. So he's Sort of to make us understand about faith and belief He's saying the ones who did not believe they missed out Okay, so we better believe and he says the works were finished from the foundation of the world Okay, this again is an interesting thought. How can God say that the works were finished From the foundation of the world because we know Jesus came 2,000 years right after things Adam and Eve sinned and 2,000 years later roughly Was it 2,000 or 4,000? I think 4,000 right? Yeah, so anyway Not in the book of Genesis, but Jesus came much later that much we understand But here the author is saying works were finished from the foundation of the world. What does it mean? Give very interesting thought here For God His work is finished in his mind Okay, something for us to understand. So when the world was created In his in God's knowing in his mind God knew everything that is going to take place that Adam and Eve will sin Sin will corrupt the world but in his mind The Lord Jesus would go and he would do the work of redemption and everything right the whole plan of What is going to unfold in the world was already in the mind of God at the foundation of the world and Based on that the writer is saying the works were finished From the foundation of the world. It doesn't mean they were sort of you know, like it all took place But in the mind of God Everything was settled So that's why we say God is a God of plan and design because he thinks Plans it's the plan is very clear-cut in his mind and That's the understanding that the author is giving us here God already knew that he would send Jesus and you know redemption would take place and he's telling the people just believe If you believe with your whole heart, then you can experience the rest of God now Let's look at we've been saying there is a rest. There is a rest. What is that rest? It? Symbolizes the promised land the rest symbolizes Salvation that Jesus gave us that rest symbolizes salvation by through faith without faith We cannot have it. We've got to mix what we hear with faith So all that we've understood but we've also been saying his rest his rest so we can Recognize that there is something like There is a rest but it is God kind of rest or God's rest Okay, I know that we all understand rest in our own way the way we live our lives and We just take some time off and our body feels rested our mind feels rested Yes, all of that is part of resting but He says Enter my rest Earlier, we've been reading Entering his rest So there is a God kind of rest Okay, there is a rest that God undertook And He wants us to be partakers of the God kind of rest Okay, so that also is another dimension to what we are seeing here So in verse 4 he talks about the creation of the world for he has Spoken in a certain place on the seventh day in this way and God rested on the seventh day from all his works So you see the works were finished in God's mind, but then he implemented them six days Seventh day God Rested so let me pause here before we explain further my question is why did God rest? So any thoughts on that? Have you ever thought about it? Why did God rest? He did not simply rest, but he had finished his work Okay, so he did not simply rest, but he finished his work. Okay, fine Any other thoughts about why God rested? huh That's actually okay He rested so that we too may rest one day from our busy life Sure. Yes, I understand that we give us a pattern. That's true. That's true Why did he rest? Did he need rest was God tired after creating six days creation everything he finished He would have been like, huh, I need a good sleep. Good night's sleep. I think we all understand that He did not need it in the way that, you know, we see rest where He became tired or weary Or slow No, because the same Bible says, you know, he's a God deny the slumbers nor sleeps. Okay He's the eternal God. He never grows weary never grows tired but he rested and As Paul stated if it is Showing us that God finished what he needed to do and So he seized from doing that activity Okay So that is an understanding that we get So when it says it rested he did not continue to create the world everything six days. He finished I know that the the the scientific world states all kinds of theories that, you know, a Million years a billion years and God or things are still being created But as far as the Bible is concerned, you finish everything six days and He did not continue doing that anymore He stopped with that particular task Okay, secondly His rest is Like once he has completed everything properly You know, it's like It there's a sense of peace in it everything that needed to be done is now done That's peace. There's sort of, you know Like a sense of being settled being settled. So he entered into that So when God is inviting us and saying enter my rest enter my rest What he's really saying is you know to come to that place of believing him coming to that place of Having peace in him Right after we've done everything we need to believe We just settle ourselves in him Interesting him. That's the place where he is inviting us to and he's saying If we believe in God, we will be able to enter that rest Okay, and we have the opportunity to enter that rest So in verse 6 since therefore it remains that some must enter it and those to whom it was first Preach did not enter because of disobedience and verse 7 again He designates a certain day saying in David today after such a long time as it has been said today If you hear if you will hear his voice to not harden your hearts So basically he's calling them back to faith or a place of fully trusting in God where when we trust in God like that it's Not only about, you know getting physical rest or getting a holiday or getting a break The rest is much deeper than that, you know, we we are having this this sense of incredible peace in God and Faith in God. We are so anchored in God that we are experiencing that God kind of rest Which can only come by believing when we don't have a heart of faith We will miss out on you know this kind of rest. So I think I'll just stop here for today We'll think this through and pick up regarding the God kind of rest in the next class Just want to request maybe one of us to pray before we close today Hey heavenly father, we come to you under the name of Jesus. We thank you for this day We thank you for your beautiful truths that you have given us Lord But I pray that you will equip us develop into someone who fully trust in you Who fully relies on you and God we will be people who listens to your word today Jesus right at this time But we won't harden our hearts. We won't be deceived by the skills of Satan But God we will always rely on you look and see so that we can enter into this promised rest that is in front of We can experience the blessings of the salvation that we have received But I pray that you will help us throughout the journey be with us and guide us We thank you for Nancy ma'am and we thank you for everything that we learned today in Jesus name. I pray Amen, thank you. Thank you. Jeffy now. Thank you everyone.  Bye for now


Hi everybody. Is it automatic? No. So this is the second talk on FPGA. It's basically the same as the last time but with a bit more information. The motivation behind this talk is really to introduce FPGA as a topic, as an alternative to embedded system and other electronics thing or computing thing that we can do. And then basically try to create some workshop in a hacker space during this summer to try to introduce the technology and the software and the writing application and basically creating project out of it. So my name is Brachy Mamadi-Sharif. I'm French. I work for ASTAR. Next slide. This is me. So I basically studied in UK. I came here in 2007 and I'm currently in a data storage institute. I work for some company doing some thermo imaging with NMTEC and basically you can find me on the internet. So really the motivation behind those talks is to really explain that FPGA is not complicated. Many people basically when we talk about FPGA or certain technology it's very complicated. It's not expensive either. I will show later on some hardware for about $50-$70 to really start programming FPGA. The only difference between what we do with Raspberry Pi or computing is really that we have to think in terms of hardware. FPGA you don't really write like C code. It's more of a language where you think of a circuit then you basically implement things. You have to think in terms of clock, in terms of registers, in terms of hardware really components. So I will show some example show some literature and then basically we have this FPGA community, Singapore Facebook. So I think we have 100 people now. We had a workshop last year I think around October or November and I think there was only 6 or 7 people. So I'd like to have more people this year if people are interested to join and we'll have a second meeting and try to be more practical, have some feedback from the community and basically try to organize maybe more sessions. So I will go through a lot of slides. I think I have four slides but I will go quite quickly into all of them. You see we need to give you a flavor and I've added some part towards the end of the application because now FPGA is using some very hot topic like deep learning and application in the data center. So this could be also some topics that maybe you want to actually tap in in terms of new job or in terms of new career. Everybody is doing C, C++, PHP etc. and actually FPGA can provide some new area of work and research. So basically manufacturers of FPGA the two main manufacturers are Xilis and Altera. There's also some cheaper manufacturers like Lattice and Cypress they provide also some smaller version or smaller package FPGAs. So in my case my really experience is really mainly on Xilis from a Spartan 3 which is one of these very small FPGA here. To a Spartan 6 here which is basically a higher version of this and then basically Xilis provide even more powerful FPGA and I will show some cards later that part of my job in Estar basically we bought some of those cards to implement some algorithms. So from a C code we basically try to implement this into FPGAs to have real projects and real electronic that we sell for we try to commercialize. So FPGA distributors basically there's Digiland, Avinet there's also a lot of small website like Nubato has quite a big range of cards really for the hobbyist up to a more serious FPGA user to some proper Avinet has those really very high powerful Xilis cards. This I don't have a laser but basically here you can see that this is the FPGA in the middle here and then some of them like this one on a Xivo or some FPGA card they have actually a fan on it because they dissipate a lot of power when they're running. So two of the cards that I had here they are Papillo so they are a family of cards from a website I don't actually remember the name of the guy but he basically designed those introduction boards so this Papillo 250 is the one I circulate and this is Spartan 3 so it's quite a small one. So from experience if you start you ought to really size up already from the beginning your design and what you want to do ultimately because it's a bit like computers you start with one meg, two meg and then suddenly you realize that you need more logic cells, more multipliers, more block ram. You want to run the FPGA at a higher clock, you want to do more so the sizing of those FPGA is quite important and a lot of basically wings, I call it wings for those FPGA, add on cards like this one which basically you add and you can have switches FPGA output, those ones have also PS2 surround, VGS serial link and also connectors for some joysticks so actually you can more or less program things which you can interface. So FPGAs tend to be 5V, 3.3V, 1.8V so it's the same as the Arduino versus Raspberry Pi when you connect things to them you ought to be careful with the logic the level of the signals from them. Other boards like the Digiton, Digilent Spartan 3 also some Ethernet board, Ethernet only connector VGA, basically LCD so this becomes like a really small computer and you can basically also implement some Arduino you have some code that basically you run an Arduino on it and some of them you have those P mode on the right side, these are basically a simple interface for loads of sensors in the market that are the specific connectors. The links when you go upstream really go into some more powerful FPGA, basically the FPGA which is the yellow part is really the fabric that you can program all your different logics and Xilinx now have those FPGA when they combine ARM core on the top really single ARM or dual core ARM with the bottom so you really have a CPU ARM and an FPGA on the same die and you really end up with a more or less a small little computer. The advantage of this is that you instantiate an ARM core on that card, on the FPGA and then you basically can program in the programable logic a lot of functionality to accelerate let's say video processing for other things that you want to do.  So this becomes the card that you have so you can also slot it into your PC and you have all sorts of interfaces and this becomes quite expensive because there are 2.5 thousand US dollars. Xilinx provides a lot of basically tools for you to implement things so I will not go into too much details but for example there's a lot of families so the Zink 7000 family is the 7000 10 20, 15, 20, 30 etc. And at work we have basically the 3 last ones for some of the projects. One of them which I recently attended a course for is actually a specific board like this where you basically run an ARM on this FPGA and it has a software defined radio basically pipeline so you can actually play along with SDR and I know that Mikal is not here tonight but one other person is very keen on this so actually we bought 2 at my workplace so later on we will try to demonstrate this into how to basically use this for SDR A very high end FPGA becomes what they call Ultra Scale so these are really really powerful FPGAs for very high end implementation of algorithm especially deep learning and another type of processing which requires a lot of memory a lot of processing and if you actually look into the DSP slice those 2 cars for example the last one the VCU 110 has 1,800 DSP slice so these are 1,800 units that you can instantiate and do a multiplication in one clock so you can really have a huge, huge compilation engine or some processing this becomes a very expensive car for people who are doing Arduino type of Raspberry Pi type of hobby experiment etc there is some actually code to implement an Arduino like component inside those FPGA and there's a website from this which basically provides the code directly so you basically dump this into your FPGA and it's basically running as an Arduino so people who want a faster Arduino or want to actually understand how the processor in the Arduino is actually emulated from all the ALU, the processing and the highway etc you can basically play with some of this this is the website where you can download so they have basically the binary file that you can directly plug into your FPGA so what's an FPGA? FPGA stands for Field Programmable Gate Array so it's really an array of lots of blocks that you basically interconnect this is really at the physical level of the FPGA but from a programming point of view it's more of a circuit, it's more of you basically define a box which has inputs, outputs, you define the logic inside, the behavior and basically the compiler in the tool assign all the different connections to all different blocks and synthesize and basically implement what is your design so most of the time we use this conflution logic block and a lot of IO so those FPGAs, the latest FPGA can have up to 900 pins so a lot of those can be also used for system when you want a 100 output it's not really possible in other case but some of the FPGA you can really have a lot of bandwidth and you can have buses connected to each other etc so this is really the internal of an FPGA the blocks really are lookup tables, full accumulator and then some flip flop gates these are more the internal aspect inside the FPGA you could do really some design without knowing whatever is actually this part actually is doing you basically implement your system and from the behavior point of view it's working but if you want to optimize sometimes it's useful to do those blocks so ultimately with more and more generation this becomes more and more complex and by having more complexity the compiler actually can really tailor the design into those blocks themselves. Some of the very important block of FPGA these days is this DSP slice which is really an accumulator and a multiplier very fast processing and this becomes very useful when you do single processing, image processing, video processing so these are blocks that really basically improve your throughput or some of your design implementation so these are quite interesting from a DSP point of view the tools so the tools they used to be very expensive but actually now everything is free so the webpack from Xilinx is a free basically tool it looks like this, it's quite easy to actually use you have a project, you have some sources like C, you have the VHDL code, you have some sort of file which specifies the connection of the pins and when you compile it basically generates a bit stream file basically that you upload to the FPGA and it's up and running you can also simulate your circuits and you can also see really where those connections are directly inside your FPGA so it's quite a powerful tool, ultimately all your designs become graphics like this which are really a schematic of technology and things are happening all in parallel, it's cropped so it's really a hardware point of view, it's a bit difficult from a software mindset to actually go into hardware sometimes but if you think of electronic logic gates etc then actually a lot of it becomes sort of easier, latest technology of Xilinx the 7 series is another tool called Vivado, so it's the same more less interface but it can basically handle more advanced FPGA and has a better performance in terms of synthesis and implementation and optimizing things VHDL source so there's actually two main language, one is very low one is VHDL, I will not go into the details now because of time but usually very low tends to be US, VHDL tends to be Europe, VHDL is very low is very close to C in a sense if you read C you can easily understand but whatever time those are very well defined and if you have done some C or some programming language you can have a good guess of what is actually the block or the module do so this is for example an example of a halo world so it's basically creating a register and basically filling in with values and then bit banging basically a pin of the FPGA which becomes a UART and basically I'll put a halo world in a console when it's connected to another computer so these are examples I think I showed last year basically the normal LED flashing, digital clock controlling a step up motor when you want some video let's say VGA, you really need to add some more circuits so you end up designing or actually finding on internet a lot of examples of this VGA generator so it's force you in a sense of with the Raspberry Pi you just plug your HDMI and everything is running here, if you want some video you need to program a video interface then you actually end up understanding more about those interfaces in the first place for you there's a lot of books on internet if you google for the title with PDF you will find those PDF for free there's a lot of also source online to basically share knowledge so these are I wish I would put the presentation online for me as a researcher it's really more of the techniques of the research topics basically when we say we add A plus B in MATLAB with that A plus B it gives you C but actually in FPGA you need to understand how do we do an addition because the FPGA doesn't know how to do that so there's a lot of let's say an FFT, you do an FFT of that vector and you get the spectrum etc in the FPGA you need to program the FFT so there's a lot of digging inside a lot of research topics so actually there's a lot of technique that personally from an electronic background I didn't know and then there's a lot of topic like this. Some of my interest is modeling musical instruments so this is let's say an example of modeling a flute with lots of adders, it's a DC killer, it's basically a filter some filter etc so this model if you input it with some noise it will basically render some flute like sound so in my BNG years a long time ago I did this on the Motorola DSP with an interface so now I'm basically trying to make it on an FPGA so it's the same for this FPGA card but it's very easy to actually look up a couple of components to interface things. For example large multiplication I found this lady who used to be able to do 13 digit multiplication of two numbers in 28 seconds and basically it's the same an FPGA you don't do A plus B equal C you actually have to implement this and to show the results you actually have to convert the binary to a binary coded decimal because basically unless you know how to read those binary numbers which become very huge you need to also have some circuits so for this you end up with a conversion between how many digits I need to show versus how many bits I have and you end up with circuits like this which have the binary at the top and basically you have to implement so each of the small blocks here has to be defined and afterwards it's a whole network of connection between those so these are basically a type of work FPGA doesn't have any output video so for example if you use this VGA666 this is the interface for the Raspberry Pi you can also map those six components of colors and end up trying to generate those nuance of colors these days part of my work also is to look at new topics or deep learning with this convolutional neural network this tends to be a large network of processing layers and nodes etc and this is mainly used using basically need to have some specific hardware because of the shared processing power it requires so a lot of studies that we see now is actually comparing the FPGA to CPU to GPU and then really from work from 2013 to implementation the performance between I think 8.5 giga multiplication and commission per second to 61 we can see that using the technology we can really really have a massive amount of processing for those who are interested in really data centers and CPU Intel both Altera so basically in the future I guess it's now because it's 2015 I think some of those slides we will have a real bridge between processors and FPGA so we won't have to program the FPGA and the processor thing will be basically all together and this is basically data center FPGA acceleration so these are really new topics that maybe for some of you if you are into cloud computing or data center or some other type of processing ultimately FPGA will start to enter those fields and I think I have one minute so I went back quickly the really motivation for me is to try to get people interested in FPGA it's quite a niche topic but by introducing the topic more often having workshop and having sort of maybe hands on session try to have people to basically start to like it as I did I need to put some dates otherwise I think I was going to do that in April and May and I need to shift so I think I need to put a date first early July or something like that then I put a Saturday and then I try maybe every two months to have a Saturday every two months so it's regular and then we see what the idea really is if people are interested in developing specific things related to audio or to video one interesting thing with FPGA is that you don't need the hardware we need to learn and to actually develop things you can really use the tool, you simulate and you can import let's say an image into your design and basically simulators is processing so actually a lot of work can be done without the physical FPGA but ultimately it's nice when the LED blinks and you get some strength and you generate things or you filter something and you find more information Yeah I think for FPGA itself it's really those website you have OpenCore, OpenCore is really a website when you can really find open source I guess I'm not sure if it's open source but people share their source on all sorts of cryptology, library, memory, testing stack overflow, stack overflow from which have specific the Facebook is FPGA this one, FPGA Community Singapore I think we have 110 members I'm not sure if we are very active in a sense but it's a group Also I get sometimes some people who want to enter the group and actually I don't know exactly who they are or haven't met them so maybe send me a message saying I'm interested otherwise I tend to believe that if someone is active in 2000 groups and actually have some of us here in the sense there's also an FPGA development which is quite active, a Facebook group So a lot of students ask you know I'm stuck with this and someone help me Thank you very much Wow 50 slides, no wonder you are working with FPGF


Who listed for about a year who cares who cares if it's been listed for a year when it sells for $333. Hey fellow buddies. Thanks for watching Amazing, right? All right, let's get started Hey fellow buddies. Thanks for watching. All right, you guys in this video We are gonna talk about big money Bolo's items to be on the lookout for items You can hopefully buy low and sell for big profits I'm gonna tell you where they got it what they paid for it and what it sold for These items were shared in my Bolo buddies Facebook group that looks like this and what I did is I posted a screenshot of share your best January Bolo and I invited everybody in the Facebook group to share their Bolo So you're gonna see members of my Facebook group that have shared But you're also gonna see Bolo buddies YouTube members That means they have joined Memberships of my YouTube channel at level 2 and they get to share a Bolo and be featured in the video So I will pop up their store eBay store or their YouTube channel and I will link them in the description So if you hear that that's what's going on there. All right, you guys Let's get started with some big money Bolo's the first one here She said I have two good ones, but I got this book while on vacation in Colorado at a small thrift shop I paid 50 cents for it and it sold for $49. It is a new old stock Vintage rainbow bright color the world book cross stitch crafting cartoons and this is what it looks like It looks like it's a cross stitch book, huh completely unused cross stitch book I actually bought this off of Mercari for $30 sold it quickly on eBay for a best offer of $80. Okay, so here's the deal I did the video where it was about the person that bought the item for $20 on what not and sold it for almost a thousand and I kind of got a little bit of a hard time for shaming the person which I was not doing in fact You can go check out this video These are all Bolo's that came from Donna Telebot Alino and auctions for use YouTube channel They're people that have bought from them. I invited them to send me their Bolo's and oh my goodness This video is jam packed with Bolo's that they bought on their YouTube channel selling events. Oh my goodness You got to watch that video if you haven't but I guess my point being is I Recently just did a what-not show and I actually undersold a couple things and I kind of had a feeling That they were a Bolo, but I want to bring good stuff to what not like I want to so Um, I undersold it somebody in the chats like those go for like $200 and I'm like And I was like that's okay So what I did is I did a deep dive research video on that category To help me learn and to help you guys learn and this is what that video looks like so definitely go check that out but I'm not shaming myself. I'm not shaming Donna Tele and T auctions for you for selling their items cheap to Resellers so that they can sell it for a profit. No, who cares. We're all out there sourcing It doesn't matter where we source right we can source on what not she sourced this on Mercari for 30 bucks and flipped it on eBay for 80 She's not shaming the person that sold it to her for 30.  They don't care. They're just bringing it. They don't look anything up they don't have time for that and Same with a lot of my what-not stuff like I'm not necessarily selling to resellers But people are buying my stuff and reselling it I'm starting the price and then you decide if you want to buy it for yourself or to resell it So this is what the jacket looks like it is a vintage Levi's type three denim trucker jeans jacket Size 42 regular I don't know what Levi's type means, but if if it is not actually Levi's That is keyword spamming and I don't mean to call her out on this But I just want you guys to be very careful because you can get in trouble for keyword spamming This might be Levi's because it says type three So maybe okay, I think I'm reading this wrong Vintage Levi's type three. Okay, so maybe it's vintage Levi's and type three is something to do with what style it is Okay, but that still brings me to this how you can get a Vero or a policy violation So what is keyword spamming an example would be like the kugi sweaters and you guys It's not kugi like I used to think it's actually kugi. So I said it right in a video I said kugi and somebody's like you're saying it wrong. It's kugi and I'm like, oh my goodness I cannot win with this word but anyhow So for example if you find one of those wild sweaters that looks like a kugi You can't say kugi style. You can't say Tiffany style or Tiffany like for like Tiffany lamps That is keyword spamming. You can get in trouble for that now. Are you gonna get caught? Maybe Maybe not, but it's just not worth your account getting in trouble But I think this is type three like type three not I don't think this is keyword spamming So I misunderstood so anyway bought it on McCurry for 30 sold it on eBay for 80 This is what it looks like and if you guys want to learn more about Veros and items not to list on eBay Definitely check out my playlist because I do the same thing for Veros. I post This in my Facebook group and then I invite everybody in the group to share Current things that are happening to them. Either they've gotten Policy violation and the item has been removed or they got a three-day suspension And that keeps us up to date and current on items that are being removed from eBay current time So check out that playlist turn it on while you list just listen to it Even if you don't watch it listen to the different Veros because some of them I learned something new every time I do a video All right, let's go on to the next one here bought a tin at an estate sale Full of Victorian trade cards for six dollars had about a hundred cards This one has been listed for about a year and finally sold Whoo listed for about a year. Who cares who cares if it's been listed for a year when it sells for $333. Oh my goodness. No $333 and 33 cents It is a Humpty Dumpty mechanical toy savings bank rare lift lithograph Trade card Albany, New York. That is awesome. Oh my goodness. Wow Wow, that one knocked my socks off They're over there. Just kidding Sometimes I'm so funny, right? Okay found at the bends. Oh my goodness. This is so funny It's a new Ancestry Ancestry I feel like I'm saying that wrong DNA traits genetic ethnicity and traits test It's a DNA ancestry DNA test. What? Somebody bought it and didn't use it. I bet they got it as a gift and they're like, I'm not doing this I'm not putting all my stuff out there for everybody to see And they threw it the Goodwill and the Goodwill just threw it in the bends and she sold it for 60 bucks nice polo, right For a total of 52 53 paid under four dollars. Okay, if you don't know Definitely look for these new old stock underwear. Yep. I said underwear. These are vintage Jake and company men's briefs These aren't even like a popular brand. Who's heard of Jake and company if you've heard of Jake and company Please let me know down in the comments. I mean, I've heard of like Haynes, but Jake and company Apparently, it's a bolo $40 plus shipping for this Men's a vintage briefs new old stock guys and NOS in the title you can use that and people know they will search for that new old stock girl friend jeans paid Zero friend gave them to me to sell listed for 110 and took a best offer of 90 sold within 10 days And these sold on Poshmark. There you go. All right, so you can see here. There is a stock photo I Have heard through from my Vero videos that Poshmark some some get taken down eBay They will get you do not use stock photos on eBay Poshmark I think is a little more lenient, but in my opinion, I would stay away from stock photos completely Personally for myself if I am going to buy an item. I really don't want to see a stock photo I want to see the a picture of the item. I'm getting and Maybe this is not a stock photo. Maybe she has somebody modeling it, but it looks like a stock photo to me So eBay no stock photos. Okay, certain companies are really really bad. They will come after you. I Know it looks better because obviously it's on a model and they fit perfectly and It's probably not how it's gonna fit you. But anyway This is a curb find took a while to sell but pure profit curb find curb alert antique Francis Gillamont Violin Nicholas Amadi model German There you go, it's a violin who puts this on the curb I mean seriously and it looks like it sold on Mercari Somebody put I wish people put stuff stuff on the curb here. Everything has to be in a trash can here That's funny Given to us for free by my hubby's aunt sold in two days for 34 He sent out an offer, but someone else swooped in and purchased for full price. What is it? It is an M emerald all-clad one-court open saucer pan with porous bouts, and this is what it looks like All right, this next one got it by stopping at a yard sale that was canceled due to rain But they allowed me to buy Has anybody ever done that I Haven't like wonder if they went up and they're like hey, it's raining.  Is that what happened like is that what happened? Or were they like driving by and they were starting to put the garage door down like I need to know the whole story I need to know it. Okay Paid $50 for two large boxes of Lego I would estimate this would be less than $10 for this set and sold for full asking price of a hundred and fifty plus shipping in less than two days It said the black dinosaur alone has sold recently for $80. Yes, you can part these items out for sure This is the Jurassic Park set. It's the Rampage at Lockwood and it's complete, but oh my goodness putting that thing together. Whoo. Wonder if it was already put together 150 bucks on that Bought this will butron mug at a yard sale for 25 cents sold on Poshmark for my listing price of a hundred and seventy five Dollars right there it is. Okay, so she said Uh This is funny because I was just gonna mention this somebody wrote had no idea these would hold value I see this type of item a lot any idea why this one did so well She said no I just picked it up because rebel talks about pharmaceutical items selling well And I was just gonna say the rebel reseller picks up Pharmaceutical items all the time if you are not following the rebel reseller definitely check her out She is like a plush specialist. Um, she sells tons and tons of plush And her and her husband do YouTube together and they have an amazing channel, but yeah, she has sold a ton of mugs now I will say that One of my friends had some pins and pencils that had pharmaceuticals and what was the other thing it was oh Goodness, I'm trying to think of what it was like where they come in and they Kill like rodents and stuff. What's that called? Oh Goodness, you know what I'm talking about Exterminator, I think it was like something to do with that or poison or something I don't know, but she had a pen or a pencil or something like that removed. So Be careful on eBay. I don't know all the details. I don't know if like the pharmaceuticals because Like well butron is a drug a prescription. I'm sorry not a drug a prescription drug That you have to have a prescription for and you are not allowed to sell prescription items on eBay So it could be a trigger word that could if there's like it could get picked up Like if somebody's searching it and your listing could get removed As far as I know rebel has not had any issues with that This was a pen and I think it was for something different. I don't think it was pharmaceutical. It may have been I'm not a hundred percent sure but just be careful, but she sold hers on posh mark. So Good idea, you know, I don't know if posh mark is as strict and I think just different Different rules for different platforms and this is just a mug. I mean, there's nothing wrong with selling a mug I wouldn't think on eBay But just because it falls into that RX category it could get like flagged. So just be careful Found in a thrift for a dollar ninety nine and sold it for forty four ninety six forty four dollars and ninety six cents I put this item up early October and had just done a price reduction from forty nine the night before There was a missing piece on it that was fully disclosed It is the Linux collection house on haunted lane 2002 and this is what it looks like. Yes, Linux items are definitely a Bolo, some of them are big money Bolo's some of them are bread and butter But it's always a good pickup, especially if you can get it for a good price Picked up at a rural thrift store. Oh No, wait, I'm sorry picked up at a rural thrift second time store for five dollars It will sell in two days from now on seven day auction. Oh It will sell in two days from now on a seven day auction. Oh my goodness Do you ever read a sentence and it just doesn't flow? That's what just happened to me. I messed that one up twice Sorry about that. It's a MERC Stealth USB gaming keyboard original box tested and works and At the time of the post it was at two hundred dollars So I don't know what it actually sold for because there were still two days left For the bidding two days and nineteen hours. So but it was currently at two hundred and paid five four So that's great This one comes from Bolo buddies YouTube member the restless thrifter. This is her YouTube channel. Definitely go and subscribe to her I will have her link down below and she does clothing So if you guys are into clothing definitely check her out because me this girl Not into clothing paid 88 cents average cost of goods at the Denver Goodwill Benz Accepted a best offer for a hundred and ten plus shipping first time finding this brand Definite Bolo and this one was really cool. It is a Dale of Norway now I've heard of that and I know it's a Bolo just from doing videos, but it's a wool ski sport sweater and This is what it looks like. So that is awesome Bought at the Goodwill paid $15 for it sold for full price of 424 dollars within two weeks. Oh my goodness. Wow It's a hello kitty and it's new old stock.

Getting hands-on with the Science of Light. These young visitors to the Scottish Parliament participate in just one of the interactive children's workshops taking place over the month of April. The activities are part of a major exhibition about lasers, which the Parliament is hosting as part of the Edinburgh International Science Festival. The theme is the incredible power of light and it's all free of charge. I've been in the laser lab zone and I've been using UV pins and I was writing a code and I started writing the periodic table. I also have to glue the bottom on and put the LED light in, which you probably can't see. The exhibition is open Monday to Saturday and our interactive children's workshops will be taking place during the school holidays and on weekends, featuring everything from alien lights to illuminating lanterns. It's fun for all the family to see girls at the Scottish Parliament. I think it's really good so far. I think it's like everything if you teach something in a really interesting way that kids will really enjoy it and particularly for girls in science I think that's really important because I just don't think there's many girls again to science as there should be. Evenings also feature talks aimed at older science enthusiasts visitors can enjoy a space-age snack in our Café Science Laboratory. I would say that it was very good and that you should come because you would learn a lot. The incredible power of light runs through the month of April. Access to the exhibition and all associated events are free. You can find out more on our website and join the conversation on social media.


Your Excellency, Party Secretary Hu, we are greatly honored to have you with us today. And Minister Watt, and Minister Wilkinson, our Minister of Advanced Education, thank you as well for joining us today to welcome this very important delegation and be part of the signings of the Memorandums of Understanding. Guangzhou Gas Group and Wood Fiber LNG are signing an $11.5 billion contract to export 1 million tons of LNG to Guangzhou for 25 years. For Guangdong, this means it will meet the needs of a growing economy and a fast growing middle class. For British Columbia, it means thousands of jobs, and it also means the biggest opportunity that Canada has ever had to contribute to the fight against global climate change. We look forward to working with you, Party Secretary Hu, and your delegation on climate change, clean energy, educational exchange, science and technology exchange, and building a one-road, one-belt policy between our two countries, our two provinces, the natural connections between Vancouver, British Columbia, and Guangzhou, Guangdong Province.
