We're looking at 2 Timothy chapter one I'm gonna give you a long introduction and then a long Bible study. So get ready Here we go 2 Timothy chapter one beginning at verse 1 reading to verse 7 Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God According to the promise of life, which is in Christ Jesus to Timothy a beloved son Grace mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. I Thank God whom I serve with a pure conscience as My forefathers did as without ceasing. I remember you in my prayers night and day Greatly desiring to see you being mindful of your tears That I may be filled with joy when I call the remembrance the genuine faith That is in you which dwelt first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice And I am persuaded is in you also therefore I Remind you to stir up the gift of God which is in you through the lane on of my hands For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind This is obviously titled the second epistle or the second letter of Timothy It was written about three or four years After Paul had written the first letter it was written somewhere around AD 67 Timothy is the pastor of a church in Ephesus. He's under pressure So Paul is writing to bring encouragement to him As we go through this book we're going to see a variety of pressures. He's dealing with and Things that Paul wants to say to him. So as we go through second Timothy We're going to see Paul assuring Timothy of his love for him Paul is going to tell Timothy that he prays continually for him He'll encourage him to endure. He's going to remind him of his spiritual roots and responsibilities He's going to use the illustration of being a man who is a man who is a man who is a man a soldier an athlete and a hard-working farmer to encourage him to persevere We're going to see that in second Timothy Paul once again will speak to him concerning the signs of the last days and Because they're living in days that are that are filled with pressure and all Paul says to him you need to preach the word and you need to do so faithfully Paul once again will remind him. He's an example of a believer That means he's going to endure hard times. He needs to be prepared for growing resistance and there is a growing resistance because The Emperor Nero who was ruling at that time Had initiated persecution against the church Half of Rome had been destroyed by fire in AD 64 and Nero had blamed the Christian church So under Nero persecution began to grow against Christians in AD 66 Paul's enemies were able to oppose Paul and he was once again jailed. You'll see that in verse 16 of chapter 1 Scholars point out that Paul had been released from jail after writing first Timothy, but was re-arrested So as this is taking place fearing for the lives the believers in Asia Minor began to desert Paul after his arrest Notice what it says in verse 15 It says as you know in chapter 1 as you know that all those in Asia have turned away from me So they've begun to desert him Rome according to chapter 2 verse 9 Regarded him as what Paul refers to as an evil doer So because of this no one defended him at his first defense before the court and you'll see that in chapter 4 verse 16 And he was abandoned by almost everyone you see that in chapter 4 also He's placed in a cold Roman cell And under these conditions Paul begins to write the second letter to Timothy again Timothy's pastoring a church in the mighty and pagan city of Ephesus and for us We don't have a clue about what that really means of course. I mean this is 2,000 years ago Ephesus was a port city It was a huge city by ancient standards And it was filled with sin and a variety of other things that made it very difficult to preach the gospel All you need to do is envision cities like New York or like LA or San Francisco any other modern port city and you can get an idea What it was going what was going on at that time and how difficult it was to minister We're told in the book of Acts in chapter 19 that Paul had ministered in Ephesus and while Paul was there ministering God had moved mightily His initial three months were fruitful, but opposition began to grow and in spite of it Paul ministered effectively for two years as He was given the word of God and many were coming to the faith of Christ in chapter 19 verse 20 It says the word of the Lord grew mightily and prevailed Well at that time of silversmith his name was Demetrius Organized a resistance against the apostle Paul and the gospel and he incited many in the city to fill an amphitheater in Near riot conditions and because of this Paul went north But young Timothy remained to care for the church And so that leads us to the theme of the letter and the theme of the letter if you take notes is do not be ashamed Do not be ashamed of the gospel in chapter 1 verse 8 verse 12 verse 16 and chapter 2 verse 15 all those verses use the word ashamed in Chapter 1 verse 8 do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord nor of me his prisoner Chapter 1 verse 12. I am not ashamed for I know whom I have believed chapter 1 verse 16 Anisophorus was not ashamed of my chain in chapter 2 verse 15 a worker who does not need To be ashamed so the word ashamed and I'm going to be highlighting that and developing that with you as we go through the study This again is your introduction The word ashamed is highlighted several times What he's saying is be courageous The word is shamed when you're ashamed of something literally in the Greek language. It means to shrink back from something So when you're courageous, you're not going to shrink back from something You're not going to be ashamed of the gospel. You're not going to be ashamed of identifying with believers You're not going to be ashamed of the church and that's what Paul is telling Timothy as a pastor. Don't shrink back hold fast and As a pastor continued to do the work out of evangelists Continue to proclaim the message in this mighty city that is in such opposition Don't be ashamed of the gospel and don't be afraid in Joshua chapter 1 verses 8 and 9 in the Old Testament it reads this book of the law shall not depart from your mouth But you shall meditate in it day and night that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it For then you will make your way prosperous Then you will have good success Have I not commanded you be strong and of good courage do not be afraid nor dismayed For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go. So Paul is saying something similar to Timothy God has not given to us a Spirit of fear but a power Love sound mind. Don't be ashamed of me. Don't be ashamed of the testimony of the gospel Be courageous and don't be ashamed of Jesus hold tightly Timothy to the very end I was remembering as I was preparing this something about an ancient bishop by the name of Polycarp polycarp was was martyred in the year AD 161 and there was an eyewitness there were several eyewitnesses, but one was there recording the events of polycarps Martyrdom and so let me read this to you Polycarp was the bishop of Smyrna and was a disciple of the Apostle John Under Roman persecution. He was arrested and taken to an arena The Roman proconsul tried to persuade him to renounce Jesus Saying to him have respect for your old age Swear by the fortune of Caesar Repent and say down with the atheists The atheists by the way is what we were called we were Christians were called atheists because we didn't have multiple gods We only had one God. So we were called atheists Polycarp looked at the heathen multitude in the stadium and said to them down with the atheists Swear urged the proconsul reproach Christ. I will set you free To these words Polycarp replied 86 years have I served him. He has done me no wrong How can I blaspheme my king and my savior? They threatened him to be torn by animals.  They bowed his hands behind him and lit the fire When they did this he looked up to heaven and said, oh Lord God Almighty the father of your beloved and blessed son Jesus Christ By whom we have received the knowledge of you the God of angels powers and Every creature and of all the righteous who lived before you. I give you thanks That you count me worthy to be numbered among your martyrs Sharing the cup of Christ and the resurrection to eternal life both of soul and body Through the immortality of the Holy Spirit May I be received this day as an acceptable sacrifice as you the true God have Predestined revealed to me and now fulfilled.  I Will also acknowledge him before my father in heaven, but whoever denies me before men I will deny him before my father in heaven Paul is saying Timothy do not be ashamed of the gospel and do not be ashamed of Jesus Christ As we read the Bible We need to remember that Paul's greatest desire was to be faithful to the calling that God gave him in Philippians 1 verse 20 he says according to my earnest expectation and my hope that in nothing I shall be ashamed of But that with all boldness as always so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body Whether it be by life or by death So Paul is encouraging this young man Timothy Serve the Lord remain faithful to Jesus Christ and remain faithful to the truth All four chapters will give to us insight into his concern for Timothy to remain faithful to the truth of the gospel in Chapter 1 verse 13 he tells them hold fast to the pattern of sound words in chapter 2 verse 2 Commit the things you have you have learned to others who will teach sound doctrine chapter 3 verse 14 You must continue in the things you have learned in chapter 4 verses 2 through 4 preach and teach the word It's all about sound doctrine and that's what Paul is sharing with Timothy and so that's your introduction Let's move into the letter of 2nd Timothy Beginning at verse 1 reading verses 1 into and moving into our study Paul an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God According to the promise of life which is in Christ Jesus to Timothy a beloved son Grace mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord Remember with me that ancient letters all began by first the sender So he says Paul an apostle then it goes to the recipient to Timothy a beloved son And then the third element would be a blessing grace mercy and peace from God the Father That was normal writing during that day So Paul is writing to his son in the faith, but he's reminding him first and foremost as to who he is He Paul is an apostle chosen by God to declare the gospel of Jesus Christ and as such He has spiritual authority to instruct and to exhort this young man by the name of Timothy and that's what spiritual fathers do by the way That's what we do I am a spiritual father to a number of men and what I do is I exhort them and encourage them in the faith And that's what he's doing with his young man He's just simply saying you need to remain faithful to the Lord and therefore listen to the things that I as your mentor Have to say to you he says I'm an apostle notice in verse 1 I'm an apostle of Jesus Christ and I am an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God I didn't appoint myself. He's saying I was chosen by God to be an apostle in John 15 verse 16 Jesus said you didn't choose me I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit and that your fruit should remain Paul when he was writing about this in Galatians 1 said it like this at verse 1 He said Paul an apostle not from men nor through man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father who raised him from the dead So he's saying I am an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God and God's calling is upon my life And I'm acting upon it Now this is according notice. This is according to the promise of life. You might want to underscore that the promise of life in Jesus Christ So I'm to exhibit as well as proclaim the promise of life that a person can have through Christ and This promise of life had been received by Paul by faith and resulted in a call to ministry This is a promise that Paul rested his entire Eternity upon Because if the promise isn't true Then Paul of all people there in a jail cell about ready to die He of all people would be most miserable But because it is true Paul though facing death can rest with confidence He was confident because God does not lie. You might want to mark that in your heart. God isn't a liar in Numbers 23 19 God is not a man that he should lie nor a son of man that he should change his mind Does he speak and they're not act as he promised and not fulfill in 1st Samuel 15 29 He who is the glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind for he is not a man that he should change his mind Titus 1 verse 2 speaks of a faith in knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life Which God who does not lie promised before the beginning of time God promised us eternal life And Paul is speaking concerning that he is an apostle by the will of God according to the promise of life This promise of life was received by faith and acted upon was evidenced by his life And he knew that God's life was in him You see throughout the New Testament believers are given the assurance of salvation. It's not something that we earn That's one of the things that that that we need to emphasize constantly. You don't earn eternal life It's not because you go to church. It's not because you go good do good deeds. It's not because you're generous It's not because you have a compassion at heart and all of those things It's the reason that we're able to say we have life is because Christ Jesus died on the cross For us he took upon himself my sin and I asked God for forgiveness of my sin And as a result of that by faith, I've been saved through the grace of God When I first got saved at the age of 20. I Went to visit some friends to share the gospel with them And as I was sharing I heard this more than once I Was so exuberant. I was so excited. Listen. I'm going to heaven now. You need to remember something Back in 1970 71 People actually knew there was good and there was bad. We actually knew that We didn't have this moral kind of Everything's okay. If it doesn't hurt that was just beginning to come in we didn't have that there was black and white There was good and there was evil. There was right. There was wrong and I grew up in that environment I grew up in that atmosphere. We didn't make excuse for sin. We recognize it. It's really wrong You shouldn't do that.  That's wrong. There were things that were right. There were things that were wrong and People went to heaven. Yeah, but normally we had made it in such a way that it was only the most saintly people only the best people And so all the rest of us were going to hell and we knew it And so I told people my friends I'd say I'm going to have it. I was excited about I don't know if you're excited about I was excited about I'm going to heaven I'm going to heaven and I would tell people that I'm going to heaven and They'd say no, you're not You're not that good Now today you say I'm going to heaven and the guy with but yeah me too, you know, but at that time. No No, you're not But they told me that they'd say You're not that good And that and I'm a brand new Christian. I'm a month old and in the Lord and I'm saying You're right. I'm not that good but he is He is and the reason I'm going to heaven isn't because of works that I did The reason I can say I'm going to heaven because it's because of the work he did I Simply received what he offered me as a gift. It's the promise guys. Have you received it? It's the promise of life in Christ Jesus. How you need to do is read your Bibles Read John John loved to remind us about life In John 3 16 God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish But have everlasting life John 3 36 he who believes in the sun has everlasting life He who does not believe the sun shall not see life the wrath of God abides on him John 4 14 whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst But the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life John 5 24 most assuredly I say unto you You hears my word and believes in him who sent me has everlasting life and shall not come into judgment But has passed from death into life John 6 47 most assuredly I say to you he who believes in me has everlasting life John 17 2 and 3 you have given him power over all flesh that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him John 20 verse 31 when he is explaining the reason of the gospel He writes and John says these are written that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God and that Believing you might have life through his name and in 1st John he wrote in chapter 5 verses 11 through 13 This is the testimony that God has given us eternal life This life is in his son. He who has the son has life He do he who does not have the son of God does not have life These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God That you may know that you have eternal life and that you may continue to believe in the name of the Son of God That you may know I know that I know that I know that I have eternal life Not by works of righteousness But according to his mercy he saved me and that's what Paul is referring to How that it is the promise of life that you receive through Jesus Christ He goes on in verse 3 to say I thank God whom I serve with a pure conscience as my forefathers did as Without ceasing I remember you in my prayers night and day Greatly desiring to see you be mindful of your tears that I may be filled with joy when I call the Remembrance the genuine faith that is in you which dwell first in your grandmother Lois and your mother Eunice and I am persuaded is in you also I Serve God with a pure conscience as noticed as my forefathers did Faith in God has been held as a sacred tradition in my family this faith in God has been handed down to me It is something that has been deposited in my life by faithful ancestors And this is something that Timothy also had he had a faith that had been handed down When you read about Paul Paul was raised in a very religious family had very conservative Religious heritage he says when giving his testimony in Philippians chapter 3 verses 4 through 6 He said I also might have confidence in the flesh if anyone else thinks he may have confidence in the flesh I more so Circumcised the eighth day of the stock of Israel of the tribe of Benjamin a Hebrew of the Hebrews Concerning the law of Pharisee concerning zeal persecuting the church concerning the righteousness, which is in the law blameless Now he's about to die the death of a criminal But in spite of this he can say I have served God with all my heart with all my mind Because he sincerely sought God in all that he did and all that he taught In chapter 24 of the book of Acts verse 16. He said I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men So he could say I serve God with a pure conscience because he was a saved man You see everyone has a conscience But Christians can have pure consciences and he's his conscience had been cleansed by the blood of Christ in Hebrews 10-22 it reads let us draw near with a true heart and full assurance of faith Having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience our bodies washed with pure water There are people who have consciences and They may even have nothing to accuse themselves of They could say I have a clean conscience, but they're still unsaved and that's because a conscience could be calloused or Biblically uninformed a great preacher of another day a man by the name of Charles Spurgeon once said this Conscience may tell me that something is wrong, but how wrong it is Conscience itself does not know did any man's conscience unenlightened by the spirit ever tell him that his sins deserved damnation Did it ever lead any man to feel an abhorrence of sin as sin? Did conscience ever bring a man to such self renunciation that he totally abhorred himself and all his works and came to Christ? The answer to that question is no It takes the spirit of God to awaken us to make it real that we need a savior But Paul could serve with a clear conscience because he trusted the Lord now as an observant Jew He served with a clear conscience though unsaved because he was holding fast to the law But as a Christian Paul served with with a pure content Conscience because it had been cleansed by faith. He knew the blood of Christ cleansed from all sin He was a new creation and he trusted the Lord Now notice in verse 4 how he says this and I want to develop this and get some practical Application going here notice what he says in verse 4 Greatly desiring to see you being mindful of your tears that I may be filled With joy. This is very very human It reveals a relationship and I want to talk to you about that for a moment It reveals the relationship that a mentor has with his pupil. It reveals a relationship a pastor has with someone he pastors and loves It reveals a love that Paul has For a young pastor by the name of Timothy when I was in college one of the colleges I attended I was taking comparative religion. It was a non-christian college being taught by a non-christian professor and the professor spoke concerning the apostle Paul and the professor said that the the apostle Paul was an intellect an Emotionless intellect When you read the writings of Paul and and by the way, that's one of the reasons It's difficult to read through his writings when you read the writings of Paul. They're difficult, aren't they? Some of the things he writes They're just like so beyond us and and that's why it takes hours for me to prepare Bible studies Because I have to go through line upon line and I do cross references and I say how does that work? And what does that mean because it's it's difficult and yet I realized that these are letters He wrote I mean he's writing a letter and he's sending it out and people like me 2000 years later are sitting down in front of computers with my books open saying what are you talking about? It's tough the apostle Peter said that his words are weighty and people have a tendency of twisting them And that was true then it's true to this day So you can look at Paul and you can say this was a an intellect This is a man who had all mind and no heart, but that's not true at all If you read your Bible you'll see that he had he had heart and I remember when my professor as well as the The book that they had us reading for this class was pointing to Paul out as being just an intellect I thought that's not the Paul that I know inscription I was only in my mid-twenties at this time, but I've been reading my Bible and and I read about it I thought how could Paul be just an in an emotionless man when this is the man who wrote first Corinthians 13 and Describe what love is and encouraged us to it How could this be a man that is heartless when you read second Corinthians and you see how he says? I've opened my heart wide enough for you All I'm asking in return is that you open your heart wide enough for me though I love you more yet. I am loved less by you This is the guy who speaks concerning his tears and the sorrows and the pains that he went through So this guy did not have just a mind this man had a mind and a heart and you have a picture here of a minister And he's saying I'm mindful of your tears and I want to see you again. He's encouraging this young man because a young man last time They saw each other wept over the fact that he wouldn't see him. I Want to see you and I want to see you before I'm executed He repeats this desire to see him in chapter 4 verse 9 as well as chapter 4 verse 20 21 when he says come to me quickly and come before winter Timothy please bring the things that I need bring my cloak bring my books But especially bring the parchments the books and the parchments were for study They included The writings of the Old Testament. I need to see you by the way, I Haven't forgotten your tears But I want those tears to be turned to joy You see Paul was like a father to Timothy Timothy's dad was not a believer. I have friends who We didn't have dads who are ministers pastors I Have friends who had fathers But their fathers were distant from them didn't love them didn't show affection and when they will speak to me of Their love for their pastor Chuck Smith There's a love for this man because Chuck treated them like sons I was seated next to the apostle the apostle. That's funny My mind's getting ahead of me. I guess really back. I was sitting next to my pastor Chuck at a pastors conference many years ago now and As we receded I can still tell you he was right there. I was right here receded on a pew at the chapel in Murietta and I said Chuck, I want to tell you something. I said I have had the best I said my dad was still alive at that time. I said I have a father That I love with all of my heart And I did and I said and I have you My spiritual father. I have the best of both worlds my biological dad and my spiritual dad I loved Pastor Chuck Smith like I love my own dad. I did I Understand One of my special memories is one day I was at a men's conference I was about to go up to speak there are 10,000 men and I was seated and pastor would sit Pastor Chuck would sit in a certain place and people in or leave him alone and I went and sat next to him just before I went up to speak I still remember it like it was yesterday I sat next to Chuck and I smiled at him because Chuck would get up and walk up these steps Introduced the next speaker and so I just wanted to make it easier for him and to get up to the stage quicker So that I could give my message and I still remembers seated there being seated next to Chuck and Chuck looks at me and I look at him a smile, you know and a moment later he puts his arm around my shoulder and Draws me to himself and just held me like a father holds a son and He didn't let me go for a minute two minutes He just sat there holding me and that's one of my memories of my pastor Forgive me. That's a pastor Who loves you didn't say word I? Went up to the stage. He had stolen my wallet. That's another story, but see I understand that I understand that and Paul is speaking to his son in the faith and He's encouraging him and Timothy is going through hard times and Paul is saying Timothy don't be ashamed You're in tough times ministry isn't easy Opposition from outside and there's opposition from inside There are great disappointments. You have with brothers and sisters But Paul's saying I have been abandoned by everyone All have forsaken me at my first defense. No one stood with me I know what it's like at the end of a ministry after the end of the of the ministry that God gave to this man Where he tirelessly ministered the gospel He said I made it my aim to preach the gospel where the name of Jesus has never been mentioned He had been beaten people had stoned him. He had been it been torn up with rods He had he had been hurt in every way shape and form he carried the burden Not only being rejected by man, but at the very end even the church that he loved with all of his heart Had nothing to do with him Timothy Don't be ashamed of me and don't be ashamed of the gospel God hasn't given to you a spirit of fear Timothy power love discipline Hope fast Hope fast and that's what it's all about and that's what he's sharing with him. Listen. I remember your tears. I remember how you felt I Know you love me and I love you too and we shared emotions That's true in Acts chapter 20 verses 37 and 38 It speaks of how that Paul was ministering to the Ephesians elders Timothy more than likely was part of the group That's recorded there and it says as he was telling them you'll see my face no more This is it They all wept as they embraced him and kissed him what grieved them most was his statement that they would never see his face again Then they accompanied him To the ship so he says I want to see you So that your tears can be turned to joy He says in verse 5 when I call to remembrance the genuine faith that is in you Which first dwelt in your your grandmother and your and your mother? Paul had a heritage of faith, but Timothy did too now his grandmother and mama had the foundation of God's word and that had prepared the way for salvation and they had poured that foundation into their grandson and son Later on in 2nd Timothy 3 Paul will say at verses 14 and 15 to Timothy You must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of knowing from whom you have learned them and That from childhood you have known the holy scriptures Which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus You have known from infancy the word childhood there is from the word Infancy when you were a baby from the time you were small You were raised in these things that prepare the way for for God to save you you have a heritage of faith You see again Timothy's mother and grandmother were both Jews his father was a Greek He must have had a very permissive father Because he allowed his wife during that time the the father actually the husband would allow the wife to do certain things and all and he allowed her To hear the message and to live it and he grew in a home that had a mother who had become a believer They had come to faith through the preaching and they presented that message to Timothy So what can be a greater mission in life than depositing faith in our children? Because laying this foundation makes it easier for them to come to faith in Christ So he says I remind you in verse 6 stir up the gift of God which is in you through the laying out of hands I remind you I admonish you it seems that Timothy is troubled by Paul's situation Paul's on death row And Timothy will soon suffer the loss of his friend as well as his mentor and the prospect of losing someone he loved so much Was bringing sorrow to his heart You see it is possible to rely so much on one man that you forget what cod can do Timothy's the pastor of Ephesus He's going through great challenges, but Timothy is now left without the counsel and example of Paul What am I supposed to do? Sometimes we need to be reminded and we need to remind others the promises of God Because he promises you strength in the inner man And Paul admonishes him in verse 6 stir up the gift of God which is in you the word stir up means a kindle in flame Strengthen become Zalas Don't neglect your gifting Don't neglect your gifting He had said that in 1st Timothy 414 do not neglect the gift that is in you Which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership You see it's possible to neglect God's gifting and become cold Ministry can become routine your experience in ministry can interfere with the movement of the spirit Fatigue can diminish your zeal.  He's in a culture that values age. He's in poor health. He's under constant opposition And he can begin to neglect his gifting. So what is the solution? He says fan up the gift The flame isn't extinguished. It's just low. It needs to be rekindled Paul says I'm ready to depart So Timothy you need to carry on where I'm leaving off and you can't do this on your own strength You need to rekindle the spiritual flame You need to be faithful to the first love that you have remember God has not given you a spirit of your power and love and a sound mind That's what he's given you Timothy the spirit doesn't produce timidity in your life. It gives you power and This is necessary the power and and love and spiritual discipline is necessary to be faithful and proclaiming the gospel You you need to understand that use my imprisonment for the gospel as an incentive to preach and to teach use my example of someone who is weathering the storm and remain faithful and you know what happens guys I'll give you something practical when Somebody goes through something and you see how they deal with it it can help you to know how to deal with something and when you see someone come under fire and you see their response and How they deal with it it can encourage you so recently I did this Facebook live program and a Lot of people got shook up and angry and started writing mean things and went on by dear friends who is also Someone who is like a Timothy to me David true heel David true heels pastor at Calvary Chapel South L.A David true heel was a gangster.   So David was with us for a while. I put him on staff and he used to work with us He went off to plant his church and he's been out there faithfully serving the lord in some pretty rough air in a rough area It's where he's at right now Dave is very defensive for me And he started reading some of the things that are being said about me some of the disrespectful things And he wrote Because he's like the apostle peter. He just pulled out that sword. Come on, you know, that's And he writes and says I can't believe your disrespect For this man. He's very defensive for me. So I wrote him. I said, it's okay It's okay Calm down No biggie Because when you throw a rock into a pack of dogs the one that barks is the one who got hit So there's a lot of barking A lot of people got hit That's okay Because god can speak to their hearts You see and he watches me how I responded these things Because as a young man A warrior He wants to step in And he wants to handle it But you know what? God is my defense God is my rock God is my strength God fights the battles The battle is the lords So all you need to do is just trust the lord God will take care of it And again those who are so upset of the things that are true May the lord speak to their hearts And bring them to faith in christ I don't have to worry about that But Dave is watching me The way that paul is saying Timothy you're going through tough times You're going through hard times Oh by the way timothy They're gonna kill me So watch me Because I have fought the good fight I have finished the race I have kept the faith Use me as your example That's why he could write and say to this young man God hasn't given us a spirit of fear But of power and of love Sound mind These are the things you need To be successful in ministry timothy Not fear Not your carnal strength Not human wisdom You need to trust the lord Again at the end of his ministry paul was abandoned by many But timothy you have the power of the spirit So remain faithful to god This gospel is a gospel that promises god's power love and self-discipline That produces a life that is capable of declaring such a life-changing message Hold fast and watch what god will do And finally therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our lord Nor of me as prisoner share with me In the sufferings for the gospel according to the paul


And at Loxon 8 Tech Field Days, we have Mehdi and a lot of equipment here. Do you want to take us through some of it and how it all works? Sure. Thanks for having me. I'm representing Centec, South Australian based company, Adelaide, established in Adelaide, actually in Riverland in Loxon. We have tens of thousands of these probes around this area in Riverland especially. We're selling to more than 80 countries in the world at the moment. It's not just the soil moisture. It's a moisture salinity as well as the temperature in different levels, calculating anywhere between 10 centimeters to 40 meters. So depending on what type of crops or what type of industry we're working with, it goes from mining to environmental to ag and hort and so on. We also do have a weather station, automatic weather station that probes can connect to that ones as well. Back to the conversation earlier that we had in the sessions in terms of API and ownership of the data. Ownership of data is definitely by the owner of the probe. So that's private and personal and they can decide which integrator or irrigation controller they want to go to if they are working with one. The API also open and we are working with the number of different irrigation controllers. Let's say Swan, let's say Mate, Galcon as well as some other ones. So there's the capacity and potential we're going to work with. In terms of our product, they come in a number of different shapes and forms. Depending on the top of the crops that the producers are planning to utilize the probes in them. We also have our own telemetry, like a Sentech telemetry that's the unit that sends all of the information to the clouds and then all of the information can be accessed by the eREMAX, which is the software that is available to the owners of the probe or the consultants that are working with us. I was just going to say, so it looks like the system is quite scalable to whatever it is, whatever application we want to put it into. Absolutely, yes. So in terms of scalability, so the reason that we come up with the Bluetooth probes, which is a drill and drop, five minutes installation easy, and then within a minute you know you can take it out as soon as you put it in the soil without undisturbed. The data is valid and pretty much it can be used, but normally you give it a week or two to be able to interpret that data that is coming out from the probe. It doesn't need a telemetry unit by the way. So it's a telemetry on its own. Well, it sends the information to the mobile phone that you use and then you can use the mobile phone as the telemetry unit sends it up to the cloud whenever you want and normally holds about 2100 readings. So it depends how often you want it, so it can be varied. So it can hold a lot of information in there, but depends when you go there to grab the information from the probes. But anyway, too much details for now. Yes, so in terms of this session, the API is open for the integrators and we are open to work with any any irrigation controllers. We also do NDVI as well as the weekly forecast, one week in advance forecast, in terms of prediction, in terms of irrigation, what needs to be done. The icing I suppose on top of the whole thing is the quality of the data that's coming out of the probes and it is South Australian and Adelaide based company and we are proud of what we produce. I think you've explained it very well. Mitty, thank you very much. Thank you for having us.


Hey everyone, welcome back for more ExoZero's content, today's video we're going to discuss the guide for FC April, before that if you wanna see more ExoZero's updates, please hit the subscribe button down below. Hey guys, we'll start off with FC April's hero profile, so she's from Linnombe which is with FC Rachel's Nation, so next is she, her element is Light, which we all need good heroes right now from Light, and her position is support, attack type is also magical, same as Talia, I'm referencing Talia because most of her stats with Talia are the same, so for FC April's stats, she actually again has more or less the same stats with FC Talia, she has actually two strengths, so her strengths are she has high HP and she has average dodge, as for her weakness, she has below average attack, low defense, below average hit, below average crit hit, low block and low attack speed, so generally she'll be the last to take her turn in actually the round or each round versus any opponent. So for her skills, we'll have first a preview of her basic attack, so very simple, very cute, and for her passive, so she has first aid too, so grants heal 100% of attack to an ally if they take damage and their health falls below 20%, gains mana if own health is at 20% or less when triggered, and the next would be her new passive, so sound fever, so it's a mark, increase attack speed of all back row allies by 5 if any, living or dead, enemies are disheartened at the start of every turn, resets upon moving to the next wave. So again, for a simple version, you get a plus 5 for everyone in the back row, if one or any of your enemies is disheartened, disheartened again is being applied by Rachel, it is part of his passive as well, so for those who have not seen FC Rachel's kit, I'll put a link up there so that you may have a look at how to build your FC Rachel because part of FC April's kit is a synergy with FC Rachel, so again, a link will be posted up there. So to move on, the next of her passive is on core stage, so heals 100% health to all allies upon dying, so again, very simple, when she dies, she heals everyone for 100%. Next would be her third passive is fan service, it's a overtime effect, disheartened front row enemies take note, receive 40% increased damage, and all damage against the targets are applied as piercing damage, so again, this was actually dubbed as a counter to the stall meta versus the front line of you have Taliyah, you have Tantalor, and you have FC Iris, so I hope most people are right, I think they're right as well, but it really would depend on actual play tests during PVP. And also her last passive is little star, it's a special, so at the beginning of a round reduces, receive damage by 10% for each living ally except the caster, so reduces up to 40%, so this reduces damage to FC April for each living ally that she has. So her kit for her passive, most of her viability is actually incorporated in the fan service, so she is very viable here, she is actually being valued for this kill, not so much for the others, because again, this would be a counter for the new stall meta, so let's proceed to her S1, so it's music wave, so deals 127% damage to all enemies, so it's a status effect, a flicks target with silence for 6 turns if the target is disheartened, so again take note for most of her skills to take effect or for you to use, you have to have FC Rachel or Rachel as part of your team, so I'll give my thoughts later on this synergy moving forward and we'll go to her S2, so stage star, so required mana is 1, heals all allies by 90% of own maximum health, cleanses all debuffs and damage over time, effect on all allies, but heals 10% additional for each mana on the target, so this has a chance to have a great multiplier for her heal and it only costs 1 mana, so you could really spam this one. For her S1, I forgot the first skill cost I think 4, so for FC April's unleash potential, it's a bit long because she is a legendary hero, so you'll have to go all the way up, go all the way down, up to this one, you need this last effect, so her unleash potential is here for her passive which reduces damage against all allies by 30%, so she has this as well and she will be stacking reduced damage for herself because of her passive and this one and while you're here in her stamina tree, you might also want to consider increasing her health because part of her skills is actually increased health or there's a multiplier because of additional health, so again for FC April you need to prioritize her stamina tree, next would be her defense tree for her to be alive or for her to stay in the battle and you don't really need to prioritize her attack tree because she's there number one to disrupt, number two to heal and also to support as well, so anyway guys just a friendly reminder for those of you who haven't subscribed to my channel yet, please do subscribe and push that subscribe button below, so for FC April's playability, so she is actually very playable in PvP if you bring her as a counter to the stall meta which is mostly a compromise of Greenland heroes and she is actually still viable in tag PvP, currently I have a lineup that composes mostly of Linome heroes that is why I got FC April, that lineup is actually composed of Rachel, FC Rachel, FC Brooke, FC Baraka and FC Deva, but I'll try to squeeze in FC Zeon and that it probably take away either Deva or take away who's the other one FC Brooke, so I'll test run that one for PvP but I'll try to build Linome as a counter as well for Greenland and the stall meta in your main PvP, as for PvE she will be very good in your holy dragon grounds during light, she will be a very big help light I think in dark day so she will be a very big help also she is good in the challenges as well because most of the challenges have have light heroes as a requirement also in the chapters as well in clearing your chapters, so as for her recommended guardian stones, so FC April I would recommend only two, so for her for you to awaken her I think you should take advantage of your fire set effect all red so that she could have a max of 5000 HP then once she's awakened you can equip her with either green or again red take note that her dodge is already average so you can bump up her dodge for additional survivability as well, so let's go to synergy with other heroes so FC Rachel actually synergizes well specifically with Linome, particularly with Rachel because Rachel is obvious because she needs Rachel to maximize all of her skills but again you could bring her together with an all Linome team all fast all very high damage heroes like for example you could bring Baraka, Xeon again as I've said the proposed lineup that I have for synergy for her would be of course FC Rachel you will have her number two is FC Xeon and number three is FC Baraka so you have those three plus FC April then one more so the other the other the other lineup that I would like to to suggest would be FC Shakan with her in the front or you can swap FC Shakan for either FC Brooke or FC Deva so that you could maximize all four the back because of her passive skill so again you you just need to bring fast and high damage heroes either single single single target or AOE damage heroes will do so for my overall rating so one being the lowest and five being the highest so for her stat I would rate her as a three because she doesn't have that much high stats she only has high HP and average dodge the rest are below average as for her playability I would give her a five because even without FC Xeon oh sorry FC April she is actually good in your PvE content so that is why I still give her a five but for her synergy again I would give her a 3.5 because her synergy is limited or her use will be much limited if you don't have FC Rachel so she's good without FC Rachel but she will be better with FC Rachel that is what I'm saying okay so for my final thoughts so great support for the Nombi heroes with Rachel you can really build up the signature force of the Nombi if you have her you could build a team with all the Nombi and probably focus on the signature force and just a tip for you guys if you are if you want to summon for FC April just ask yourself first are you actually invested heavily in in FC Rachel because because if you invest in FC April you also have to invest in FC Rachel so you have to level him up you have to you have to scale up his signature force um it's a big commitment if you've invested in in other you know in other heroes already and you don't have the extra zest to to build up FC April FC Rachel I would you know I would rather you you dedicate yourself to to what signature force you have invested in right now especially if you're a beginner or a free-to-play player but if you're a whale or a dolphin then go for it you can actually have multiple teams with good signature force um currently I'm also developing the several signature force teams just to try them out and probably have content for you guys but it's actually very hard to scale them up to a high level if you have that many signature force okay guys that concludes my video let me know what you think in the comments below what you think of FC FC April will you summon for her and you all stay safe I'll see you in the next video this is The Warden and I'm out


Hey friends today, we're hanging out at Disney's Magic Kingdom They just released a whole bunch of new treats for the month of April and I wanted to come out and try some of them I know they have a street corn flatbread and then also a root beer soft serve so root beer flavored ice cream And I think that sounds really fancy, and then we're gonna ride some rides and maybe meet up with some friends Anyhoo, let's go do this The new treats that I'm talking about are part of the 50th anniversary treat line and they started changing them out every single month So it being a new month April they have a whole bunch of new ones including the seven doors ice cream cones That's the root beer flavored ice cream because last time it was coffee and vanilla ice cream, and I loved it My legs are still feeling the effects of the 10 mile run I did yesterday for the Tower of Terror 10 miler and Probably gonna be a little bit slow getting around the parts, but it was totally worth it The pain today was definitely worth it The feeling I got yesterday I'm also curious to see what the crowds and the wait times are gonna be like today It's a new month like I said April and the only thing we have to look forward to this month I think is Easter everything else kind of should be just normal like a normal April would be like Looks like as we're walking in the stage show is happening And it's kind of funny because the last time I was here Well, maybe not the last time but the last couple times I was here I tried to watch this stage show and there was just constant rain delays So we might be able to catch the tail end of it finally. I Finally got to watch a little bit of that show and I like it I like seeing the shows and the parades and everything come back and probably most important the character me and greats are coming back Actually this month, so we're gonna be able to actually have photos with characters hugging them or putting our arms around them without having like a barrier Like in between us that's something I'm looking forward to a lot and also want to point out my Awesome shirt because this is my new favorite Roosevelt shirts It's the infinity stones and the infinity gauntlet and it's a part of the Marvel series So I love it I actually wore a purple under shirt because of Thanos and if you guys want to shop the shirts There's a link in the description with a promo code. I know I keep on saying it But I really do love the shirt and this is probably my all-time favorite one now I think we're gonna make our way up to Pinocchio's because that's where two of the new treats are at One of them. I'm so excited to try the other one. Oh, not so much I mean there's an ingredient that I don't like as much So I'm still gonna try it though because I gotta know what it tastes like and also to show you guys But that's what we're gonna head to now It is so funny though because any time I do come to the parks and I'm going to fantasy land I always think how I'm gonna get there, you know, I mean obviously my favorite is cutting straight through the castle But that's blocked off because the stage show other than that I'd like to come up the side here sometimes or I like to go through Tomorrowland or through Liberty Square But let me know what's your favorite way? You know what I mean? I think it's kind of fun And here we are and it looks like there's nobody sitting up on the balcony there So I think we'll actually go up there and enjoy our pizza and our cake, but I love it over here. Isn't it so beautiful? It's well. It's well themed I'm thinking about asking if I can have the mayonnaise on half of the pizza so that way I can try it with and without You know what I mean? I think that might be a good idea and I think they can do that All right, we got the goods now. Let's take the stairway up to the second floor Honestly, I'm a little shocked that there's nobody up here because I know that it's been getting a lot of exposure recently Like people have been posting about it on Instagram and TikTok. I even made a video about it and Yeah, there's nobody up here. So we're gonna go outside There we go. Bada bing, bada boom and this is it. Look at this. So cozy, right? All right, here are the two new items up here at Pinocchios and we have the tres leches cake This is featuring flavors of Mexico with toast in a coconut and a coconut cake And then they have the roasted street corn flatbread and I was able to get half of it with the Citrus mayonnaise on it and then half without because I'm not too sure about that But other than that, it's corn and peppers and your regular flatbread and I'm excited I think I'm gonna try this first because I don't know if I'm gonna like that And I don't want that to ruin the taste of this because that I am going to love adios Like I said, I'm gonna try this one first and we're just gonna cut to the side here Cuz I also don't want to get too soggy. But look at that. Oh boy We got to make sure we get a little of this icing on top there. Okay, here we go That's amazing That is truly amazing. I love coconut though. Wow. This is good This is also not the first version of this cake either It's a part of that collection that I was telling you that just keeps on changing and it's all about it's a small world Because that's what the adios and the Mexico flavoring is. I'm not too sure what the other ones are I don't remember. I don't think I got them and this one though. I love it I mean it is so good a nice light refreshing dessert if you plan on coming to Magic Kingdom because you know You don't want anything too heavy Now it's time for the pizza business and they really didn't cut it too much just one little cut in the center there So like the whole flatbread on the backside the undercarriage here isn't really cut But this is gonna be the piece that has the blue cheese and the mayonnaise on it and the corn and the peppers and the Mozzarella, so we're gonna try this one first The other side is gonna be pretty plain just corn peppers and cheese, but I still might like it Who knows but this is we're gonna try this one first here we go. I think I'm gonna fold it To be honest the mayonnaise and the blue cheese really isn't that overpowering But you do taste it a little bit So if you're not a big fan of either of those items, you're probably not gonna like it And it's kind of weird just have mayonnaise on pizza anyway But I guess it's kind of weird to have corn on pizza as well So I don't know it's all it's all depends on your preference, but I am gonna try it this way because I do love the corn I do love the flavor of the corn This side of the pizza looks like they have a little bit of a cut in the center How do I mean look at that? All right, so just just corn peppers mozzarella and a flatbread See I like that The corn itself has a nice fire roasted taste to it and that's kind of why I like it Must be 530. I can hear the Pinocchio clock actually taking That's really nifty. Oh, and I see a camera one of those sneaky little Disney cameras. I'm gonna show you real quick Don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious. Don't be suspicious.  I think it just turned and looked at me Out of both of those snacks right there the Tres Leches cake definitely is the show stealer. That was Phenomenal I wouldn't love to get that. I wish they would put it on the menu permanently because that would be a nice little addition Now I think we'll make our way over to get some ice cream a little Root beer flavored ice cream which I told you that sounds so cool because it's kind of like a root beer float But without the soda I'm also just realizing now They might have a new Haunted Mansion push pop over at Sleepy Hollow because I feel like that was a seasonal change and We'll have to make our way over to check that out because the last one was so good But first we're gonna have to hop in line for some of the ice cream or the seven dwarves cone Here at storybook treats and you could probably see it right here They have a whole bunch of different offerings that they're gonna be kind of putting out and we've already talked If we already had one of them and now the newest cone I think is the root beer ice cream. So there's a lot more to come As I'm standing in line here I'm looking at the wait time for seven doors mind train and it's only a 95 minute wait and believe me That is pretty amazing like honestly I went to Hollywood Studios the other day and there were four attractions with a hundred plus minute wait So to have Magic Kingdom's most popular attraction only be 95 minutes. That is That's a good sign that the wait time to a little low today Here it is the seven doors cone This is chocolate and root beer float flavored ice cream and it's easy. That's really cool I'm holding it like this because it's kind of floating to the other side. These melt so fast So we don't have much time. We got to get right to it I know how quickly this melts from the last time I got it and it's already starting to melt Look my hands are already getting covered, but we're gonna take this off and we're gonna try it. Oh Oh That's good. Oh, oh, oh That is so good, I need to eat the point though Make sure you get a lot of napkins with this bad boy Like this isn't me joking around and like taking lots of photos and having fun and getting the Instagram pic This is like a minute afterwards Look at this I'm getting ice cream all over myself and in my beard It definitely tastes like a root beer float if you use chocolate ice cream like identical actually Now that the ice cream business is taking care of we need to find a bathroom So we don't end up having sticky finger business because all that ice cream was just rolling down my arm. Look at this Ah, I gotta find a bathroom gotta get there now Everybody's always about the tangled bathrooms whenever I hear the best bathrooms in Disney I hear tangled this tangled that now they are nice bathrooms on the inside and it has a really nice themed area But you know, I always have to point out that when I used to come to the park before the tangled bathrooms were a thing I love the ones that were back in fantasy land We got some royal bathrooms in fantasy land for prince and princesses and I just like it back here It's very very nice. It's right on the other side of Pinocchio's village Look at this water pressure Look at that Holy moly Now that we're all cleaned up, let's make our way down to Sleepy Hollow to see if they got a the new haunted mansion push pops We walked up one side of the castle now we're walking down the other and this was recently kind of renovated And they widened the pathway because it was very very like neural narrow corridors here, but now it's like very breezy lots of room It does not look like there is a new push pop on the menu yet They still have the same one that they had before and I already came on tried it and it's something you actually have to come And physically order it's not online or it's not for mobile order or on the menu They just have a little stanchion sign here, and it was really good It's definitely something I would suggest it also looks like here comes a marching band Oh Let's take a look see Thank you Really cool. I'm so happy that I caught that marching band and thank you to ever said that they loved my content That was really really cool And it was really awesome that you guys were marching through Disney and I liked how everyone had Mickey ears on so that's kind of fancy Now I think we'll make our way over to frontier land and check on the wait times for big thunder mountain and splash Rowan, I would love to ride big thunder mountain. It's been probably a long time since I got on there like I would say at least couple months As I'm walking by the water here I'm kind of reminded that I've said in the past that I want to come out and do a video where I explore around Tom Sawyer's Island, but it closes at dusk So it's not going to be today, but I'm gonna definitely come out and we're gonna do a video exploring there because I love it And it's really really cool. It's like a whole nother part that some people don't even know exists to get to the island itself you have to take these rafts over and That's the only way to actually get over so that's why it closes at dusk and it's really cool So one day one day we're doing it It's actually closed right now So those people you start like coming back or actually leaving the island and being the last people on So that's really funny that I came and just pointed out at that moment See it's all closed up here But they usually do close at dusk and here is the map of the island itself Like I wasn't joking when I say this is like a whole nother part That's like a lot of people don't even know and for the longest time The other side of the island wasn't open and that's like a gigantic fort like an actual fort and I hear everything's open now. So we're coming we're coming back for it looks like Splash Mountain has a 50 minute wait and Big Thunder mountain has a 45 minute wait 45 minutes for Big Thunder is really really good. I Will take 45 minutes for this any day and plus it's not that bad like if you're right here then it's definitely not 45 minutes I've definitely been in a much longer line 25 minutes tops This is the worst place to be stuck though It's so hot in here like just in this area right here. I think it's because of all the body heat You know what I mean? So the faster we get through this the faster the better and oh man when we used to have to wear a mask Oh, it was so rough Is this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness? Up here comes our train car Looks like we're getting I'm fearless. Oh boy Oh boy, this is one of my favorite rides It's for you come into this seat it reminds me a black diamond at the noble. Oh steady So fun ride. I remember the first time I rode it every time I thought it was gonna end like I thought it was over It just kept going and it's just so it's full of excitement and Kind of like twist in every single turn that I know that's kind of like a generic thing to say but that's how I felt when I first rode it and Still one of my favorite rides of all time Let me know if you guys know what I was talking about when I referenced black diamond at Kenobals that right there is the best ride You will find for $3.50. I love Kenobals. I miss it a lot But let me know in the comments if you guys have ever rode black diamond before Splash my one seems like it's just only getting busier. I was thinking about it But not at the weight not at the cost not at the cost of the weight It says the wait time is 60 minutes But whatever that wait time is that says on the standby sign is gonna be much longer Because this right here is the line for the lightning lane So that whatever way if it says 60 minutes you're looking at a 90 minute wait probably if the lightning lane is stretched out this far They're gonna take priority basically over everything If we can't ride it at least we can watch some people taking that plunge That's the best thing the viewing area for Splash my one always has no way I Was also wondering maybe if they had anything new at Golden Oak outpost Which is kind of like a little quick service location That's in the back of adventure land and frontier land But it's closed and it's kind of strange for anything to be closing early at Magic Kingdom This one always closes early, but you would think it's Magic Kingdom Like it's not like they have a slow period of time because it's always constantly busy So I don't know why they were to close something it could have been for multiple different reasons But it's just kind of it's still kind of strange to me, you know Also, you have Tortilla Tavern right here and this is another like food area that is Frequently closed and like I said, I just don't understand at any point in time I feel like anytime I get anything to eat at any restaurant at any point in the day here at Magic Kingdom It's always very crowded and busy. So like the more the better While we were over here in adventure land I checked the wait time for Pirates of the Caribbean That's a 35 minute wait and that's not bad either like I said before when I saw Seven Doors Mindtree And only having 95 minute wait that said a lot for the other wait times and so far kind of true to it You know what I mean?  So maybe we'll see if this one's different There it is kind of looks like a glass bottle, but it's plastic and it's for the 50th anniversary and it's $5 $5 for Coca-Cola, maybe drinking it because you know it's $5 tastes makes it taste different. I don't know This coke's for you Now I'm gonna take this coke bottle home and I'm gonna keep it for no reason I don't know why I do this Enough with the coke business though. Now I want to go get something to eat a little dinner I wanted to get like a special dinner yesterday after the race, but I ended up just going home sleeping I literally did that's what I did I ended up my video and then I went to bed and I didn't wake up until late today and I wanted to try to get Ohana because I love eating at Ohana Whole reservations are hard to come by so I think we're gonna go over the Polynesian and even if I can't get into Ohana I just want to get the noodles just get the noodles the noodles from the Tambo lounge and maybe some pot stickers and I'm good And I'm good with that We're gonna make our way right down Main Street and right on over to the poly I Really hope we can make it to the poly before the sunset because it's gonna be beautiful tonight And we have made it to the Polynesian look at it doesn't look so beautiful and we Made it before the Sun officially said the Sun is setting over there You can see where a little bit of a pink sky. It's kind of how I like it and Yeah, it's gonna be beautiful. Maybe we'll go around the beach or out to the grotto I don't know the possibilities or endless I Do need to get something to eat though That was the reason for coming over here, but I told my friends I was coming over here And they're gonna meet me and we're gonna maybe try to get into Trader Sam's Depending on the wait for that Look at this. I wanted to come right down to the beach just so I can take in what sunlight we have and it is so nice out Isn't it? Holy mo I love come to the poly just for this reason alone Listen to some music walk on the sand now. I'm gonna have sandy shoes though My friends actually got to the Polynesian before me and they put our name in at Trader Sam's and it's already time to go In and even get anything to eat yet. I really wanted to get those Ohana noodles So maybe we'll get something there or maybe we'll get them and then bring them the Trader Sam's because I think I could do that as well This is really fancy just showing up to the poly and being able to go in the Trader Sam's Yeah, that's us There we go Yeah Oh It's a hey mom joke, I like those glasses too fancy I think since we're at Trader Sam's maybe we'll start with an Owa and Hopefully we don't anger anybody The Owa is a drink that you can actually share and We have some friends to share it with and they have a little safety blanket here, too. Look at that Somebody else got an Owa too we're setting the trends here Oh Sean ended up getting some tacos from the bar. Give me a taco review. I'll give everyone your jalapeños Did they like the jalapeños? Yeah, but how's the tacos? They're good. There's a lot of pork in here though There's a lot of pork in those tacos loaded loaded pork tacos. Oh Is it okay to eat it this way?  Wait Who eats tacos in the middle? Who does that? This is not how you do it. That's not how you eat a taco Yep, just knock off the cinnamon That's the way Yep Now that we got our trader Sam's fix I think it's time for the noodles time for some Ohana noodles and maybe a lapu-lapu maybe a Lot of people don't know this But if you love Ohana and you can't get a reservation you can get all most of the food here You can get the noodles you can get the pot stickers even the bread pudding right at the Tambu lounge And that's exactly what we're gonna be doing Just in time for enchantment to And Sean got a back scratcher Yeah Cheers First-time vloggers here you need a pop socket cheers If you believe Here comes the magic Look at that. Oh I am so happy right now Wow This is what I'm talking about for half for more than less than half the price of Ohana This is like a quarter of the price of Ohana right here And they're huge portions too look at this oh man, I love I love the pot stickers the dumpling look at this Mm-hmm So good And look at the noodles. Oh They give you so much. This is a huge portion and for only $12 I Could eat noodles for days That's not a proper spin. You gotta get a good spin. That's a good spin. That's a good spin brother Francisco knows the way This is my favorite part of enchantment right here and you can see the fireworks from here I Killed my pot stickers, but for some reason I can't I can't finish the noodles I'm throwing in the towel throwing in the napkin on the towel That was exactly what I need it so good definitely worth the trip over to the poly I Lied I said I was stuffed, but I just remembered I was really in the mood for a dough whip I You kind of feel like I'm going a little vanilla pineapple twist today You know not a float just the dough whip itself and they do have lime, but I'm not the biggest fan of lime dough whip They gave me so much. Holy moly I actually took the top off there because I was afraid it was gonna tumble, but we're gonna take it inside look at that Precious beauty It's the leaning tower of cheese, uh, huh, but oh man. Oh, look at it's hollow on the inside That's so good though much to go look at it really is hollow Get a little holy you could put the pineapple juice in there Perfect. Oh, yeah, it's fancy.

The SACNAV held an official ship naming ceremony on June 11th at the Pentagon for the future Arleigh Burke class destroyer USS Paul Ignatius. DDG 117 honors the former secretary of the Navy and assistant secretary of defense. The Ignatius will be in our fleet for three to four decades. It will be a reminder of the experience, the wisdom of Paul Ignatius. I don't think I have to tell you how grateful I am to you for this honor of having a ship named after me. As I said, I was overwhelmed when I learned about it and I'm grateful to you and to the Navy. Mavis also recently announced the names of three joint high-speed vessels, USNS Yuma, Bismarck and Burlington, two littoral combat ships USS Billings and Tulsa and a destroyer USS Daniel Inouye.


Hi, I'm Yuvie. So for this hack night, I wanted to build something that I'll actually complete, which seems like years, because I bought like the domain. It is rather simple. It essentially lets you pick a city and gives you a list of all the tech events happening in that city as a calendar, which is literally Google Calendar here. And then I or someone who would want to help me would probably trawl around the various websites and mailing lists of such groups in a city and add them here myself. So this is like not a technological marvel. It's just a simple HTML page. It doesn't even have any JavaScript, which just embeds a Google Calendar in the middle. That is all there is for it.  But I think this is something that would be useful not just for me, but for a little bit of other people as well. If I can populate this and keep this up to date and because it's Google Calendar, it's got crowdsourcing built into it. I just have to share the calendar with someone and then they can also help me keep it up to date. Eventually, I plan on replacing the current Google Calendar embed with a prettier one that is based on like just read the data from the API and then form it myself. And also, if you look at it there, I've also got a nerd Twitter account which should automatically be able to tweet all the events as they come up like a day before or a week before, essentially nagging you so you don't forget. And I'll also probably add an email feature so that you can say, remind me a week before or remind me a day before or something of that sort. The reason, I mean, I really like going to events, but I've not gone to enough of them in the last few months. And having something like this would very probably help me. Any questions? So, have you looked at what you could use to display those events? So, once a person actually, I'm very concerned, linear is a data source. Right. And just full events from linear. Yeah, so I actually did that. So the first thing obviously, because I thought was, okay, fine, I'll just use linear. And then I went to linear, which was a problem. So if you look at this, this is the list of events that they had yesterday as what you can get in pretty much for the entire thing.  It's corporate quiz on big data going on for 15 days, a test event, like WWD Monday night Raw livestream. So this is not really usable in any form or way. And plus, they are like a startup which needs revenue streams. So obviously, they will have to do some things to keep things running. Well, this is just like a guy with a HTML page. So obviously, you might have a better chance. So that is the problem with Lanyard and that's why I'm not using Lanyard. Okay, what about submissions? Can you take submissions? Yeah, so right now, I'm opening submissions by saying like, hey, want to add your event here, email me with 100gmail.com, very low tech. This entire thing is completely low tech. Like even the tweet, there is nothing automatic. When I add an event, I go and tweet it myself. So obviously, these will be automated eventually, but it's not by Mr. Naveen Karabhra, only tech. So he does the same thing, he contains a calendar. And then he's a curator there. And if there is an event, you need to mail them and he adds it. It's quite format, and you can authenticate with the calendar. Right. So the ads that you get in your calendar. That sounds exactly the same as what this is. So he, for instance, also has his own rules for what you will see this. So his policy is that he will not list a preview. No, he will not. Now he does, because now he's got an idea that maybe it will still be a community event. But we had to go and convince him when the first time he did an event in college. And that means that, just because we're charging for entry doesn't mean that it's a commercial event, that's just to pay for lunch. And so they're the quizzes, they are tech events and put it in. So that brings up this question. At what point do you say this event is not worth listing? What is your criteria? Right now it's your judgment, but I want to lay down rules and say that this is your broad criteria for deciding what's going to be there and what's not. Possibly, at some point in the future. It essentially, I think right now the criteria is like forgetting about the fact that there are some technical topics are not interested in. Would this be an event I would enjoy going to? I realize that it's very ambiguous and possibly useless to a lot of people. But fine, obviously it will grow and maybe solidify later in time. So as long as your choice of events is something that a lot of people are interested in. That's pretty much, yeah. That's the point of a curator, right? So that. It's your calendar because of type rule. The what? It's your calendar because of type rule. Yeah, right, so far. But I mean I'm not going to, I mean I'm hoping that the calendar embed goes away at some point. I checked out the Google Calendar APIs. They seem pretty easy enough for my calendar thing. I mean not this monstrosity, but something slightly better. But obviously that is like the primary challenge for this is not technical, but actually getting content in and getting people to it. So, yeah. All right, awesome. Yeah, because there is a button there. It takes a while to stop the video.
