Uh, yeah, I should be reviewing the book, right? Not playing, but let's go with it. Welcome back to the channel everybody, Gio here, and today we're going to be talking about the King of Fighters, a new beginning, the brand new manga that just came out, courtesy of Seven Seas Entertainment, and I actually want to give a shout out to Seven Seas for sending me an advanced copy to review and talk about. So yeah, the King of Fighters. I have to be completely honest with you guys. I had very little knowledge about the series, I didn't grow up playing it. I was more of a Nintendo kid, and of course I was, when it came to fighting games, I think the only one I really liked was Street Fighter because of the colorful cast. I knew about the King of Fighters, but it wasn't something that I seeked out. I knew about Mai, and Terry, and characters like that, which of course transcend the franchise. Uh, you know, they are characters that you know regardless of if you've played the game or not. So I went back and replayed the games, specifically 96 and 98, which, I played 94 to 2003 King of Fighters. And I gotta say, the only ones I genuinely liked using was 96 and 98. I know people like to go back and forth with which version is their favorite or not, but I'm just telling you, as somebody that just started playing recently, those two stood out to me, and I know they're pretty famous, so that must be for a reason, right? I don't know. I'm not the biggest expert when it comes to fighting games. I like playing them, and I love the characters and seeing all the combos and moves, but I'm no good at them. Like, I am pretty terrible at them, if you ask me. I can button mash with the best of them. So the King of Fighters, A New Beginning is written by Kiotaru Azuma, and it's published by Kodansha, licensed of course in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment, and it brings a sort of fresh air to the franchise. I learned that this manga is adapting the King of Fighters 14 video game into manga form, but also it has an air of freshness to it. It's very reader friendly. If you don't know what King of Fighters is, it's basically this big tournament where you fight to become the very best, and of course there's gonna be bad guys and evil corporations, and dubious characters and all that stuff. Of course you're gonna have your protagonist and heroes, depending on which character you use and the story reflects on that. It's a very simple, basic, yet effective premise that you've seen throughout fighting video games and fighting shounen manga and battle tournaments and all that stuff. It's very standard. That's not necessarily a bad thing. It's just the way it behaves. It's just the nature of the beast is what I'm trying to get at. With the King of Fighters new beginning, we are seeing the rise of a new tournament by this character Antonov. He is the self-proclaimed champion, I guess, and he's funding with some, I guess, third parties and dubious corporations. He's funding this brand new tournament edition of the King of Fighters and it attracts returning characters and I think well over what, like 45 characters, which is insane for a roster, especially on a manga, and you literally spend the first two chapters of the first volume introducing all the characters and they are in three-man squads, so you get their introductions by some very colorful commentary and then the team presentation. So you do get a lot of teams involved in this and they all have their own motive. I mean you've got Team Japan, K-Team, Team China, Team South America, Team Mexico, which was hilarious because the first thing, that's the weirdest Team Mexico I've ever seen in any fictional manga or anime or game. You also have the women fighters, you've got Team South Town and the Fatal Fury team, Art of Fighting team, Psycho Soldiers, it goes on like that, each with three characters and you know a whole bunch of them, I do believe some of them are new to either the game it's based on, the 14th King of Fighters or the manga. You will have to correct me on that, I'm not super knowledgeable with the franchise, but after those first two chapters you start getting the first fight and it's really fun. It plays heavily into tropes when it comes to battle arcs, if you've read any Shonen battle series, if you've played any fighting games, it sticks to the formula, it doesn't try to break the mold too much but it still has such a kinetic energy and presence to it that you fall in and you're in for the ride and it looks fantastic, I love the artwork. The fights are really easy to follow which is a plus because that's the main bread and butter of a title like this, the actual fighting and if you can't have a dynamic battle, it's not going to be as exciting I think, but they really did a good job with capturing the essence of a fighting game in a comic, in a manga and the way that these characters behave and the attack moves and all that stuff, it's not too blurry or convoluted, you do understand what's happening and it's always fun to see the dynamic between such different characters because when it comes to games like this, part of the appeal is having such a widely ranged roster, not everybody looks exactly the same, they're not generic, everybody has their own unique flair and I do think the manga captures that pretty well from the video game franchise. Now unfortunately the first volume ends on quite the cliffhanger, just when you're getting into it, it's over and you really do want to pick up volume 2 to see how the story progresses which I thought was really cool, but I wish we could have gotten just, I know the main purpose is to go in and fight but I wish we could get sort of a little breather or a prologue chapter or something because it just puts you right at the start like if you were playing a video game and you hit start and there we go the tournament starting, I wish maybe it could have gotten us like chapter zero or something on how we got to that point just a little bit for fans new to the readers new to the series I should say, I don't know maybe it shouldn't be a carbon copy of a fighting game and maybe you could flesh out a little bit more and give us sort of a behind the scenes instead of jumping right into the action without too much characterization because like I said the first two chapters since there's like 45 freaking fighters you're spending a whole lot of time just introducing characters with quick little sentences on like the fighting fury and they're good because of this it's so and so instead of doing that I don't know maybe it's because I'm not accustomed to the King of Fighters franchise could be that I am getting ahead of myself and maybe the later volumes are going to explore a little bit more in between the fights which would be cool so we'll see but overall I do wholeheartedly enjoyed that first volume it was fun action packed the action was intense the drawings are very clean cut and precise the fighting is very fluid and you can follow it the stories engaging enough if you like martial arts and fighting if you love the video game franchise obviously you're gonna have a fun time with a new beginning it's a very fun way to get people into the franchise you don't have to play the games you don't have to know anything about the games I think the manga does a very good job of establishing the world and the character specifically which is the main appeal I guess and bringing you in to a very famous franchise without feeling overwhelmed so yeah I do recommend it the King of Fighters a new beginning written by Kyotaro Azuma it's a fun martial arts manga that I think you will have a fun time checking out if you do check it out let me know in the comments below also what's your favorite martial arts manga very interested in finding out guys as always thank you so much for liking commenting subscribing and being a part of a week and geek them thank you so much to the folks over at Seven Seas Entertainment for making this video possible thank you so much I'm deeply humbled and flattered and just that's that's pretty damn epic thank you so much for allowing me the opportunity to do a video like this and review King of Fighters a new beginning volume one I have got to go follow me on social media hit the little bell icon so you know when your videos pop up I've got more stuff to read and review so I will catch all of you on our next episode


So this is the newest addition to the Go family. If you're familiar with the Go guitar and the Go vocal, this is the next step up. But what makes it different? The Pro takes everything you love from the Go guitar like two-way monitoring and portability and then adds a killer USB audio interface with 24-bit conversion for crystal clear audio recording to your favorite DAW. The Go guitar Pro gives musicians the freedom to record quality audio anywhere, anytime using your favorite mobile iOS, Android, Mac or PC devices. Whether you want to be heard for miles or record a hotel room jam, Go guitar Pro is your creative tool to do both. It features an award-winning preamp, connections for your headphones, instrument and amplifier. It also includes an effects bypass switch for clean monitoring and a headphone volume and input gain controls, even an integrated belt clip. So stop worrying about power outlets, latency or the neighbors and simply plug in and go with this new guitar interface because you never know when a great song idea will strike.  The Go guitar Pro is super simple to get started with. I'm going to quickly show you how to get recording, performing or rehearsing with the Pro. So grab your Go guitar Pro from the package and first connect it to your favorite Mac or PC or iOS or Android device, any of the above, using the USB cable that came in the box.  So once the light comes on, plug in your instrument into the quarter inch jack at the bottom. So next plug in your headphones to the eighth inch jack at the top of the device. Today we're using an iPad and our very own companion app called Guitar Rack. And so when I put my headphones on, I'm going to hear my guitar right away. So if you're using another app like GarageBand, you'll need to go into the settings menu and enable input monitoring to hear your guitar. So the next thing we're going to want to set up is the input gain and the headphone volume. The input gain is here on the left and I'm going to play a big open chord with all my strings and I'm going to watch that LED turn red. I'm going to turn down that gain volume so that even my loudest strums aren't going to send it into the red. The next thing, once I've done that, is just simply adjusting the headphone volume here on the right and that's going to set my level for my monitoring. And that's it. If it still doesn't sound correct to you, double check your volume knobs, your tone knob, your pickup selector, patch cable, anything in between your guitar and the device itself. Now we built the Go Guitar Pro with portability in mind. So we put an integrated belt clip on the back that'll let you get creative and mount it pretty much anywhere you like. Now that you're all set up, you're ready to capture that clean distortion-free tone and start applying your own effects to it. Now I'm using our companion app called Guitar Rack, which has tons of great effects and amp simulation. And I'm going to add some overdrive here. Oh yeah, that's great. But that doesn't mean that I can't use my own amp. To do that, all I need to do is grab a quarter inch patch cable and plug it into the guitar through on the Go Guitar Pro. I'm going to unplug my headphones because I need to turn the volume up on the side in order to send the signal through to the guitar amp. Now take the other end of the quarter inch cable, plug it into the amp, and we're set. So there's one more feature to tell you about, and that's the effects bypass switch located on the side. This bypasses the effects to the guitar through. So if I were to have it on, I would hear any effects that I had in the companion app coming through the guitar amp, and you may not want that. So all I do is switch the switch, and now I'm hearing just the clean guitar signal come through the amp. And that's it, that's all you need to start recording to your device anywhere, using a DAW playing discreetly with headphones or with our companion app Guitar Rack. You can play with an arsenal of pedal effects and amp emulators. Now stop watching and start creating.


What's good Josh Boros back again with another video. So we got to talk about this potential Easter egg that WWE gave us last night. Now, I noticed this initially, but I didn't say anything about it because I wasn't too sure and I didn't want to reach, but it seems of as if a lot of people on social media has had the same thought I had when I initially saw this. So as Cody's getting packed up by the rock in the cold in the rain, suit messed up, shirt ripped up and he was just getting destroyed out there. Beautiful sight, might I add. There is a production truck in the background. And on that production truck as John Cena and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Now, that's a very interesting pairing because the production truck sometimes, you know, they have more of the current wrestling WWE stars. So the fact that they have some wrestling legends on there that are not really active right now is very interesting. And here's the thing, WWE, especially as of late with Triple H being in control. They like to put Easter eggs. They like to put things in the background. That's not overly, you know, being talked about. You have to actually look at it and see what's going on. They've been doing that for a while. You saw it last night with Paul Heyman talking to Drew McIntyre in the background. And I think there was another segment where Andrade was talking to Dominic Mysterio in the background. So there's one is I like that Triple H has been doing that like those little Easter eggs where you got to, you know, you're watching something in the foreground, you're watching a segment or a promo. But you notice something in the background. And this is the same thing because out of all the production trucks they could have had framed right there for Cody to be getting packed up. They have Stone Cold Steve Austin and John Cena there. Now, John Cena has been stated, well, has said recently that he would like to be involved in this year's WrestleMania, which I do think he will be. And honestly, here's the thing. This is WrestleMania. And I know some people may say John or Stone Cold don't need to be involved in the storyline. I'm going to be honest with you. I wouldn't complain if they were because this is WrestleMania. And you're going to pull out the stops. Now, I've seen some people on social media saying John Cena would fit more considering he did get packed up by solo. So it would make sense for John Cena to come out there and help Cody in their bloodline rules match, because I do think that we're going to get that for night two. But at the same time, Stone Cold could be involved in it just as much. I know he's not really involved in his bloodline storyline, but Stone Cold in the Rock, their rivalry will always be a thing. So you can never go wrong with a Stone Cold coming in to help out the baby face in Cody Rhodes. You can never go wrong with that. Another reason why I think this is a potential Easter egg or a potential teaser is John Cena has publicly endorsed Cody Rhodes. He is definitely giving Cody Rhodes that that rub of he's the next baby face. He's the next guy up. I don't know if Stone Cold has done that, but I'm willing to bet Stone Cold could, you know, character wise, could understand and empathize with someone that's trying to go against the crazy odds. I mean, Stone Cold was trying to go against the regime of Vince McMahon. And he he had to really figure out a way to overcome that. And the same thing with Cody Rhodes, except not Vince McMahon, but someone that's essentially replaced Vince McMahon in the power level of being the final boss, being one of the board members. He's essentially replaced Vince McMahon in the bloodline. So Cody has to overcome those odds. And it's just to me, I think it's quite hilarious that this guy's getting packed up in the cold and in the rain. And you look at some of the greatest baby faces, some of the greatest wrestlers in in WWE history, looking on. On a production truck as one of the future baby faces of the company is getting packed up like it's kind of poetic. It's like him getting packed up and then watching it is like, don't worry, my child will help you. So I don't know, man, just to me, WWE doesn't do things, especially lately without some type of payoff. And I just I find it very hard to believe that they would literally have this man get packed up in front of two of these legends, their faces being on a production truck. And one of those set legends wanted to come back and has been involved in the bloodline story. So and I think with the Stone Cold part, I think that's just a situation of if they do have him come to WrestleMania, they're going to try to keep that hush because you want that to be hush, you don't want people to really know. The John Cena part will be cool to see. And I think the crowd will pop crazy, but the crowd will really and truly lose their shit, including me if they hear that glass break, bro, because we recently, not too long ago, just had Stone Cold pop up at WrestleMania, going against Kevin Owens.  Come on, bro, you can't deny that would be a WrestleMania moment. And me personally, what I would want, it could be a situation where Cody's about to get packed up once again to answer against him. There's not much he can do. It's almost over for him. The bloodline is about to win. And then all of a sudden you hear the crowd goes crazy. Solo got that look on his face and he runs down there and his jorts and start laying the beats on Solo trying to even up the odds. And then it could be a moment where things start to die down. And then Cody trying to fight back, but he's still got he's about to get packed up by the rock himself. And then all of a sudden you hear that glass break. Oh, my God. And the rock, you know, the rock always would sell the facial expressions when the glass broke for Stone Cold. It broke.  Everyone that I've seen talk about on social media, they said the same thing. I hear that glass break and I hear the it's over.  And I think if you're going to make this one of the biggest WrestleMania is a pot of all time, you got you can do that. Will it be an overbook, nonsensical match? Yes, but we're here for the story at this point. And none of those individuals that come in there to help Cody need to put that nobody needs to put a hand on Roman Reigns. It only needs to be the Cody needs to be the one to put hands on Roman Reigns. Nobody else, they're there to run defense and to stop everybody else. Cody needs to be the one to put hands on Roman Reigns. And I'm OK with it, bro. I don't think anyone else would trip. I know some people say it will be some overbooked nonsense.  Who cares? It's WrestleMania, bro. The Rockin' Stone Cold, John Cena has some, you know, he's had his issues with the Rock. Come on, bro. That's all I'm saying, man. So y'all comment down below. Let me know, would you guys be interested, guys and girls, be interested in seeing a Stone Cold and John Cena run in at the main event for night two in the bloodline rules match? Because I do think that's what this potential Easter egg is, you know, maybe alluding to. Would you guys be interested in that happening? Or do you guys think it should be somebody else to run in to help Cody Rhodes overcome the odds? Y'all, let me know how y'all feel about it. But I appreciate all of the support you guys shown on Channel Road to 150K. And I'm still Yen Speedy, YouTube Residential of the World. Appreciate y'all kicking in with me. See y'all next one. Peace.


Collaboration is one of our values at GitLab and is a key to success in the modern business environment. Increased collaboration is often at the heart of many digital transformation and DevOps adoption initiatives. One way to increase the collaboration is by adopting open-source best practices and encouraging shared problem-solving between internal teams. This solution is known as Inner Source. The next few talks will show how GitLab customers are leveraging this solution. Starting us off is Peter Tiggs. Peter's talk is full of great insights into how to build a foundation for your inner-source program based on his experience doing just that at Intel. From an emphasis on discoverability to managing contributions and even sharing your backlog among teams, no matter where you are on your inner-source journey, you'll find valuable takeaways in this talk. Enjoy. Hello there. Welcome to GitLab Commit. Let me introduce myself. My name is Peter Tiggs and I'm a principal engineer at Intel's client group. In the last 20 years at Intel, I've been focused on a variety of software projects from driver development to my current focus area of DevOps. Today, I want to talk to you a little bit about how we're moving into a stage of inner-sourcing, going from a transition of every single software team doing their own thing with their own source code and delivering binaries within the enterprise to the environment where we have open-source-like practices within the enterprise and source code moves freely throughout the organization. Let's go back in time a couple years. At that time, Intel was still delivering software in a binary fashion to the upstream teams within Intel. This worked okay until we needed to change with the changing environment. We needed to increase the number of client SKUs that we had available to us and to deliver to. At the same time, the OS vendors, Microsoft and the various Linux vendors were increasing their SKUs. Our validation platform just became multiplicatively increasing, going from a couple of platforms every year to 20 times that on a regular cadence that we had to mix and match between the hardware and the software that we were validating. Our old practices of having individual software teams doing whatever they wanted within their own CICD systems just didn't work. It didn't allow for us to quickly adapt to change. It didn't allow for our platform integration and validators to quickly debug and address issues that maybe were found during validation. We introduced this project, which we called One Windows Recipe. In One Windows Recipe, we looked at modernizing how we delivered that software across Intel. We focused on delivering some areas where we improved and standardized the CICD processes. We made sure we had consistent portals for the teams to deliver their software into. And related to inner sourcing, we made sure that the source code was available to all of the engineers that needed access to it in a shared source fashion. This led us to a common delivery mechanism that reduced the complexity of how we delivered our software into our platforms for validation and integration. And the shared source model was the beginning of our steps into inner sourcing. We got to the point where source code became normal to have access to. And this is important because previously it was very difficult and there were long turnaround times on debug. And you needed to go upstream to the driver team to figure out how to fix this. Now a system integrator could look at that source code and identify a challenge or a problem and have the driver team fix it quickly without doing a lot of debug or triage or fix it themselves and submit a patch. And we'll get to that in a little bit. So as we've modernized our software development practices, we started to grow. And one of the things that we did with this shared source mechanism was bring all of this source code into a common location. In this case we started with a GitHub group. All of the source code for our drivers, primarily for our Windows drivers got all put into this single source code location and that allowed for some level of browsability of the source code. And we were able to connect and relate the binaries that were delivered or compiled for our platform to the specific source code or get shaws even that generated those binaries. But this was just the start. Even though everybody had access to source code in the same location, we still had teams that were wanting to isolate their source code and not share it with other teams. And so the next step in this modernization process that we had to go through was making sure that we had the right set of roles and responsibilities. So we created a role-based access for the software. So with a goal of all of the software engineers that were employees of Intel being able to read and fork any of the source code under this common shared source code location. This still didn't quite get us to the point of open source, but it gave us read permission. Now each team still controlled their permissions for creating pull requests or for submitting to a branch, but we'll get to how we've sort of evolved beyond that, at least in some checks. So with this source code all coming together and granting this role-based access, we started with the software for a platform, which was about a hundred different source code repos. And that has since grown over the last couple years to now over 7,000 source code repos in our inner source repository, and it continues to grow. Now as you might imagine, this is a lot of source code repositories. And if we want to get to the point where we can utilize this source code, find out what's useful to reuse in other parts of the company, we need an ability to find it and discover it and catalog it. So what we did as a program that we had called one source is really establish a governed taxonomy of where source code lives within this directory structure of the source code repositories. And we wanted to make sure that first it wasn't based on any team names or something that would be modified by a reorganization. We didn't necessarily want it to be named after a project or a set of requirements, but really focus on what is this source code trying to do. And so we created a top-level hierarchy of things like drivers and applications and firmware, and then a second tier to that hierarchy to get more precise. And we set this as a governed set of terms that each piece of software that came into our shared source repository would have to classify itself within these terms. Beyond that, certain pockets of software had the allowance to define their own subterms underneath that and also have those managed at a team level. And one of the things as we were building out this taxonomy, we wanted to try to make it as obvious as possible of where software landed. And as you can imagine, many things are hard to classify in such a way. And so we had the ultimate arbiter of where a particular software component should live to be the creator of that Git repo or the team that originally created that Git repository. And as I said before, we wanted to be able to make sure that everybody had access to the source code regardless of where you are in your organization. So within that taxonomy, we built out a web portal that allowed us to not only have basic search to find source code based on tags and this directory structure, but also to browse through this set of initial terms and subterms. And here you can see the little web portal that we've created that allows us to kind of shows the top level terms, applications, containers, etc. And the sub level terms for our drivers, graphics driver, GPU and IOT drivers, etc. And this allowed teams to very quickly go in and find a particular source code that they may be interested in or may be wanting to use. Now we've had challenges really bringing this to the forefront on a catalog because one, we're still growing out. And we have this sort of catch 22 situation where we need to bring people in and give them access to this catalog, and we need to bring source code in and have it to the catalog. And while we're still doing our software projects and our platforms and products, so it sort of gets to the point where you may have something sitting out there that's useful, but we haven't yet put it into the inner source mechanism for us to discover. Regardless, this is sort of our first step in getting to the point where we can actually share and rediscover software that could be usable. So once software is discovered as we've gone into inner source, we've been able to take a few of these projects and truly make them inner source where there are contributors from around the organization that make it happen. And one of the key things that we found important is to set up the expectations of how to contribute into these projects from the get go. And so one of the key recommendations that we have building out an inner sourcing environment is establishing your contribution guide, contributing that markdown file is available in a common way of putting that in your repository and setting expectations up front is really key to getting good contributions. Make sure you know what you're going to expect your contributors to deliver to because as we pivot away from a traditional enterprise software where the only contributors to the source code are the folks in your team. We want to make sure that it's available to the folks across the organization and they may not be in the same team culture that you're in. So be upfront about what your acceptance criteria is. What is your pass rate of your unit tests? Are you expected to increase the pass rate or make sure the coverage stays the same? Be clear on what your styling guides are and how to make sure that the source code that's going to come in from contributors will look like it's part of your project. You want to make sure that any other acceptance criteria that you may have say security checks or other things are documented upfront in the contributing guide. So it's very clear for somebody else with outside of your immediate team that they know what to do when they're delivering software. We had a project related to this software modernization that we called the abstract build interface and what this project did was really give us a set of software that allowed us to standardize our dev sec ops pipeline. And we had many teams needing to do multiple things with different dev sec ops tools, specifically things like SNCC or BDBA, Black Tech Binary Analyzer. And there were multiple ways that teams were integrating that into their CI CD pipelines. And so this abstract build interface allowed teams to have a standard mechanism. But our single team within the client group wasn't able to keep up with all of the demands that the various other teams across the organization that we're using our abstract build interface needed for introducing new tools. SNCC, for instance, was a tool that our team did not use. And so by open sourcing this or inter sourcing this project, we allowed our platform security team to actually create and introduce new security scanner tools into this dev sec ops pipeline library very quickly and without allowing or without requiring our team to intervene and set up that. And so this was a key advantage of setting up that inter sourcing. And one of the things that made that work was we were very upfront with this other team about what our expectations were going in to the contributing guy. So the other key thing that I think is really important and sort of what I deal with on a very regular basis is making sure that your continuous integration solution is in place consistent and giving you useful information. So that when your contributors submit a patch to your project, regardless of where they are in the enterprise because they may not be part of your direct team, they can see the results of that build and that test run and get that feedback immediately. And you as an owner of a particular software project or a maintainer can see the results of that patch and decide to accept it. In many cases, this allows us to quickly streamline patches from across the organization or from across the enterprise into this solution versus where if we were just our own team in isolation, we wouldn't be able to do that. One of the other projects that we had was a Python library that and Flask web service built on top of that Python library that allowed us to integrate and submit these various different ingredients for platform integration and validation. This was another project that we had started to do some level of inner sourcing with. In this case, we had the server team adopt it and do the initial development of it because the client team didn't have enough bandwidth to work on that project. And so by having this other team start up and we were able to combine both the needs of what the client team needed and what the server team needed into a single solution that the server team worked on and setting up this CI CD pipeline now as we've established it now anybody who needs to make any adjustments to that Flask library or to the underlying Python library can quickly put in a patch and submit it through a CI CD pipeline. So we definitely want to make it very easy to submit. We want to match our contribution guides so that the checks that are in place in our continuous integration process are the same checks that are expected in the contribution guide. And we want to make your CI CD pipeline very, very visible. If somebody is going to consume your project, they should be able to go see what the results of those scan tests are so that they understand, you know, regardless of whether it's coming from your team or submissions coming from another team, that this other team can consume and use your software. And contributors need to be able to see what their project is doing and how it affects your project and maintainers can see how contributions come in. So let's talk a little bit about the role of a maintainer. A maintainer is a key role in our practice of seeing intersourcing work. The maintainer needs to set that architectural consistency. When you shift away from an enterprise software team where you've got maybe a team lead that's setting that expectations, and it's only that group of five to nine people that are working on a project, you can have really tight architectural consistency. But as soon as you start bringing in sort of these contributions from everywhere else within the enterprise, you need to make sure that the maintainer is well versed in the architectural consistency of what is expected and can provide that feedback to the contributors as they go. The maintainer needs to take that ownership of the quality in the project. And this can't be reinforced enough. That maintainer or those maintainers are the most important for making this successful software project with contributions coming from around the organization. And one of the hardest things they will have to do is say no when it's appropriate that this contribution can't come in at this time or this contribution is not yet ready at the right quality level to come in. Because as we get broader and broader with this intersource concepts and other teams are depending on your software that you are delivering with patches coming from other people, you need to be able to hold that quality level. And finally, the maintainer of course has the role of accepting and managing the merge request. And so whoever is in that maintainer role needs to make sure that they have enough bandwidth to take the time to really study those merge requests and those CI CD results so that they can accept and reject the patches as they see fit. So overall, have very clear acceptance criteria and the maintainer role is key. Alright, so one last thing I do want to talk about a little bit is how does this fit into your agile projects, whether you're doing Kanban or Scrum or have expanded out to safe or some scaled agile or Scrum of Scrum situation. How do you fit this into your schedule? Maybe you're even doing waterfall. What do you do about your backlog your program managers and the schedule commits that you have within your enterprise. So it's easy to say hey this is an open source project or an intersource project and therefore schedule doesn't apply, but that really doesn't hold water as we go out into the enterprise. So there's a couple approaches that we've tried and we're still really learning about what we want to do. So the first approach which we've tried is to actually make your backlog available to your contributors and do sort of maybe bounties or highlight items where your contributors could contribute to that you're maybe not going to get to in the near future. This is what we did with the abstract build interface project and we knew that there were a series of scan tools that we wanted to integrate into it and we knew we weren't going to be able to get to all of those as fast as certain teams wanted them. So we made that known and teams that did need them to integrate were able to pick up and do that. The other thing that I think is important within that aspect so that you don't have multiple people maybe taking different approaches to the same problem is also make it very clear in your backlog what your team that's the primary team that's delivering this intersource project is doing. Again this will prevent anybody from trying to do something that's the same thing that you're working on and do it in a different way. And then when you've got multiple contributors who may be trying to contribute to the same thing you will probably want to make those other contributions and own as soon as possible so people aren't wasting their time. One of the other approaches that we've taken is actually integrate the contributors into the backlog make them known what they're working on and make them part of a virtual scrum team. You know give them some allocation of capacity within the mechanisms that you're doing for agile planning so that you know and have some expectations around contributions coming from these external teams. Now this works in some cases and it worked in our case where we had very clear agreements from a management level and from a planning level that certain teams were going to deliver certain parts or certain contributions into our source code. And in other cases this may not work and we're still sort of trying to find that right balance. The last case is sort of the ideal case is just making the source code open and making it very clear on how somebody can contribute and when they can contribute. And just having it much like the current open source community where contributions can come in at any time and be able to adjust that and make that available through your capacity. But I would love to hear in some of these conversations or on Twitter about ideas that you have around how do you integrate inner sourcing into a backlog because this has certainly been something that's a learning area and something we continue to explore as we walk on this journey to inner sourcing at Intel. So just to kind of quick recap, I talked a little bit about how our modernization effort at Intel that we ran a couple years ago kind of got us to the advantage of shared source code and what that brings to the environment. And I talked about some of the challenges that we had as we go from 100 shared source repositories to now 7000 plus source code repositories and how do we find those source codes that we can contribute to and learn from and utilize. I talked about the importance of maintainers and setting correct contribution and acceptance criteria up front so that everybody knows what they're dealing with when they're contributing to your source code and what they're dealing with when they're receiving your source code. And then I also talked about a little bit about how we're dealing with schedule in our scrum and backlog and other agile practices to make sure that these contributions coming in sort of from left field can be integrated and made valuable without necessarily having to derail your sprints or screw up your capacity planning. So thank you again for listening. I'm looking forward to any conversations that we may have as a result of this. I hope you had a chance to learn something.


This unit discusses the main principles and methods of analyzing words into their component parts. Focus of our analysis will be present-day English, but as you will see towards the end, I will use an example from another language. What will we proceed as follows? We will first of all look at types of words. Then we will define one particular type of word in more detail, namely variable words, and look at possible analyses of variable words.  So let's first of all look at types of words. Here you see a number of words, all English words, and they can be grouped into two types. Words that can modify their structure, variable words, and words that cannot change at all, the set of invariable words. So obviously woman is a variable word. You can have the genitive woman's plural women. Sweet is another variable word because you can form the comparative or the superlative like sweeter or sweets. Myself, a reflexive pronoun, is certainly invariable because you cannot add anything, you cannot reduce anything. We could perhaps say, okay, it's already two items, my and self, but that's a different story. Walk is clearly variable, it can be a noun or a verb, you can have walker, walkers, you can have walks, walked, walking, etc. The preposition about is clearly invariable. And finally the two conjunctions, coordinate conjunction, but and if are also invariable. We cannot do anything about these words. There are some languages that have by and large, well, if not exclusively, invariable words. Such languages are called isolating or analytic languages, and typical examples are Chinese or Vietnamese. So if you want to become a morphologist, don't move to China. There is hardly anything to do because all words or most words are invariable and they cannot be analyzed into further component parts. But in English, this is possible. So let's now perform a morphological analysis of some selected words. We know that we have to base our decisions on phonology for various reasons. Many languages do not have writing systems at all. Many languages have writing systems that are not phonetic in character, so called phonographic writing systems. In other words, to generalize our decision, and this is what linguistics is always about, a generalization of facts, rules across the languages of the world. We have to base our decisions on phonology. So here you find walks, misleads and classroom. And our first task is to insert boundaries between those parts which we think can somehow be isolated. So the boundary in morphology is this one. This hashtag is used as a boundary between so-called morphs. So clearly here in misleads, we have a boundary between mis and leads. We have a boundary which is clear between class and room in classroom. But then also we would have a boundary here. Lead and leads are two different forms and so is walk and walks. So these are our boundaries. Now what can we do with the results of our analysis? We can first of all group them into two types of morphs. We have so-called free morphs. That is morphs or elements that can stand on their own. They can occur without any additional components. So clearly our free morphs here are class, then room, then walk, and finally, whatever we've gotten, lead. Now the result of morphological analysis are first of all morphs. Morphs are indicated by these curly brackets in linguistics. So to be absolutely precise, I have to put curly brackets around my free morphs. So let's underline all three morphs here in green. What are we going to do with the others? Well, the others are not free anymore. They are bound morphs. They cannot stand on their own. They have to be attached to other elements. So we have a set called bound morphs. And let's underline them in blue. This is a bound morph. This is a bound morph. And here we have one. So let's look at our bound morphs. We have sir. And normally in order to indicate the position, where do they occur? You could occur, you could introduce a hyphen. This means it occurs after something. Then we have the z, the z, which occurs after something. And finally we have the miss that occurs before something else. And again we're using curly brackets to indicate that these are morphs. So this is the first step. We analyze words into their component parts. As a result we're getting morphs. Now let's take a closer look at our bound morphs, which occur in these examples. So here we have, let's first of all insert the morph boundaries again. And the morph boundaries again. So these are our boundaries. Here we have our free morphs. And these are our bound morphs. Oops. Okay. So let's analyze them in more detail and look what we can do with these three bound morphs. They somehow denote the same thing. Namely the third person singular present tense. If you attach these bound morphs to particular verbs, the result is the verb is transformed into the third person singular. The question is where do they occur? In what sort of position? Well, this one here, the sir. And now I represented everything very precisely phonetically. Again at the position marker in front of it. Now this one occurs at a word boundary after a morph boundary where the final element that precedes has the feature minus voice. So it must be voiceless. So you have example like stop stops. The P in stop is voiceless. Walk walks occur in walk is voiceless or hate hates. So this is where this one occurs. Now this one occurs in positions where the final element. Now print where the final element before the morph boundary is voiced as in goes. Vowels are voiced leads and so on. Well, in this one here, this is an interesting case. The last one it occurs after sir, sir, sir. And sir, if any of these occurs before the morph boundary, then this is too much here. Then we must insert is like in kisses, buzzes, matches, and so on. Okay, so we have three different contexts for our morphs. In other words, they occur in what we might want to call complementary distribution. You know this concept from the phoneme. Well, and these morphs, they can now be grouped into a family. The family has a head term. Unfortunately in morphology is also presented within curly brackets. And it's called the morpheme. Well, and here we have the choice. Whatever we want to insert here is up to us. We could do something like this. So it's the third person singular present tense morpheme, which has the three members. Or it is simply the default, which would be z, which occurs in most cases. After all voiced bound morphs, which are verbs go lead, et cetera. So we have several choices here. So this is one analysis in English. Let's now look at a different language. Here we have Latin. Now in Latin, we have inflectional so-called paradigms. Here we have the noun, which denotes the word king. And again, we have to do it phonetically. The analysis must be based on phonemes rather than on the orthography. So what can we do? First of all, let's insert the morph boundaries again. So here it is quite clear. We have reg, regi, regem, rega. By the way, this paradigm denotes the nominative case, the genitive case, the dative case, the accusative case, and the instrumental. These are cases. Now clearly, we have the bound morph, reg. The free morph, reg. But what are we going to do with regs? Now here we have a variant. You see, all our bound morphs are relatively clear. S, I, M, and E. But here we have a different free morph, reg. What are we going to do with that? Well, we do the same we did with the third person singular morphs in present day English. We have two variants. But now the two variants concerns the free morph. What does it mean? Well, it means king in both cases. And all we need is now a definition of the context. This one occurred in a very specific context. Namely, it occurs whenever the following element is an S. So in other words, here we have reg, here we have the boundary, and here we have sa added. This is the particular context for reg. Reg becomes reg if an S follows. Well, and this one occurs elsewhere in all other contexts. We must be a little bit careful, though we have just based our analysis of just one set of variants of one item, namely reg, regs. Nevertheless, we could group these two morphs, these two free morphs into a family, a morpheme, where we now would take the form that occurs as a default in most cases, as well some people call it as a normalized, as a generalized form. And that's of course reg with a specific morph mentioned here. Well, this is what we call morphological analysis. We analyze data into their morphs, and then we try to find out whether certain morphs belong to the same morpheme. So the morpheme is then the abstract head term. The family members of the morpheme are called morphs. And just like with the phoneme, if they belong to the same family, we call them alo morphs. Well, that's basically what we have to do in morphological analysis.


Welcome back everyone. We will begin with Kennedy's question. The second part may says difference between election and predestination. So election is to state that one is chosen. We as God's people are chosen. We will read now in first Peter chapter 2. There is this section where it says you are a chosen generation. So we are chosen or we are handpicked by God just to indicate that we are special towards God. Predestination is predetermining or because it says destination the destiny of individuals. What they are going to do and what they are going to be so predetermining is predestination. So election is being chosen predestination is predetermining and he has been chosen us as a bond servant of God. So bond servant of God actually I think it comes from this word Greek word do loss. Do loss where they would have slaves who were in service to the master like committed 100%. So those slaves were sold to the master so committed to the master. So when we say chosen as a bond servant it simply means we know apostles they had used this term to state their allegiance to God and the Lord Jesus and their commitment to the cause of living for Christ. So that is the understanding of bond servant. Now having said these things chosen and predestined see predestination should be understood in terms of the attributes of God. Omniscience is one of the attributes of God. So God already knows though the term predestination is used it doesn't mean God. He determines people's future because if that was the case even Adam and Eve being given free choice today we have free choice salvation is by choice. So free will and choice is a very real thing that God has given not just for mankind but we also know even the heavenly host angelic beings everyone they have free choice. And that is not something God ever overrides. So though that is the term predestination there's enough in scripture to tell us that God doesn't force people into a certain direction for their spiritual lives or lives in general. So yeah that much Kennedy I hope that is helpful. Okay all right thank you so much. Okay let's now move ahead with the first Peter chapter 2. So we'll notice some doctrine here as right now we've started talking about Jesus because he's again pointing to Jesus as an example. Jesus he came and he died for us and because of that we are chosen we are precious. That's how he encouraged the believers and now he's talking about Jesus as one who was rejected and yet you know the precious one to our God. And similarly we are also chosen by God and we are precious even though the believers were going through rejection at that time and feeling the pain of it he wanted them to experience joy. So let's read from verse 6 and we shall read till yeah let's read till 10. 6 to 10 please. Therefore it is also contained in the scriptures before they lay in Zion the chief cornerstone elect and precious and people believe on him will by no means be put to shame. Therefore to you who believe he is precious but to those who are disobedient the stone that which the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone and a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense. They stumble being disobedient to the word to which they're also appointed. But you are a chosen generation a royal priest of holy nation his own special people that you may proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. Who once were not a people but now the people of God who had not obtained mercy but now have obtained mercy. Thank you and as we can see here he is using the example of Jesus to encourage the rejected believers and he's saying think about Jesus. He was he I stated that he is referred to as a stone chief cornerstone elect and precious he's chosen by God even though he was rejected by men he was chosen by God. And so he says that now that we put our trust in this Lord Jesus the cornerstone we will not be put to shame. And similarly he goes on like he goes on to talk about the believers and he says that you don't think of yourselves as rejected because you are chosen by God. The way Jesus the cornerstone was chosen by God rejected by men you are chosen by God and uses terms like chosen generation. What does it mean? It simply means that God God has chosen to reveal his glory right through the believers. So literally we know that Israel was the one that was chosen but through Israel what was God's plan that the nations of the earth should be blessed that the gospel should go out to the nations of the world. So it's not saying that you know God has limited his his selection to a bunch of people and that's about it. Even on the day of Pentecost when the Holy Spirit was poured out 15 different languages people spoke because the gospel needs to be proclaimed to all of mankind that's God's desire. So let not this word chosen misguide or mislead us into thinking that God is partial or he's very selective but those who respond to God we become the chosen. So we are chosen by God. Royal priesthood. So again looking at the Old Testament we see that royalty was generally separate from priestly ministry. So you had priests in the temple but then you had kings. Both of these would not be mixed up. There were two different anointings but now that the Lord Jesus has come and has redeemed us. This combination. Royal priesthood is very unique to the believers. We are both royal. We are royalty in the sight of God and we also have priesthood. We have direct access to God. We can offer up spiritual sacrifices unto the Lord and so he's reminding the people that you have all this in Christ Jesus. He says holy nation. You are sanctified people. God has shed his own blood to cleanse you. His own special people. Special is to say that we belong to God now. We are in the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ and what is the goal or the outcome of these people whom he has described with so many words. And initially he also called them living stones. Living stones because God is building his kingdom, his house with each one of you. And he says the outcome is that you may proclaim the praises of him. So this is the call of every believer. Why do I? What should I do for God? What am I supposed to do? It's very clear. Proclaim the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. So that is what each one of us is called to do through each of our lives. May the Lord be glorified and that's what he's telling the believers of that time. May God be glorified through your life because he has purchased you. He has made you new. You now belong to a new kingdom. The kingdom of God's marvelous light. And he also reminds them, look, the past was very different. You were not even a people or as far as the kingdom of God is concerned. They did not have any identity. But now they have an identity. They've obtained the mercy of God through what Jesus has done and he wants them to recognize that. And now again starts instructions for righteous living, one of which has to do with submission. So we'll see. He'll talk a lot about submission. He'll talk about submission to authorities, submission to people that we work for. Submission in the context of marriage. He'll talk about submission of the wives to the husbands. And then he'll also go on talking about the context of the church and that the overseers of the church or the shepherds have to oversee the people of God because they are in subjection or submission to the elders of the church. So there's different instructions regarding submission coming up. So we are beginning with an instruction for holy living as he did earlier. So he says, look, if we put it in simple terms, he's encouraging the believers, reminding them of what they have in Christ, how the life that the challenges we have are temporal. There's eternal glory waiting for us and so to hold on and for faith to reflect in our actions just the way James spoke to the believers. He says, look, you're saying you have a new life in Christ. Let it show through your life.   So going to verse 11. Can somebody please read from 11 all the way to the end of chapter two, which would be verse 25, please. Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims abstained from fleshly lusts which war against the soul. Having your conversation honest among the Gentiles, that whereas they speak against you as evildoers, they may by your good works, which they shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation. Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake, whether it be to the king as supreme or unto governors as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and for the praise of them that do well. For so is the will of God that with well-doing you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men as free and not using your liberty for a cloak of maliciousness but as the servants of God. Honor all men, love the brotherhood, fear God, honor the king. Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear, not only to the good and gentle, but also to the forward. For this is thanksworthy, if a man for conscience towards God endure grief, suffering wrongfully. For what glory is it, if when you be buffeted for your faults, you shall take it patiently. But if when you do well and suffer for it, you take it patiently, that is acceptable with God. For even here and to where you called, because Christ also suffered for us, leaving as an example that you should follow his steps. Who did no sin, neither was guile found in his mouth. Who when he was reviled, reviled not again when he suffered, he threatened not but committed himself to him that judged righteously. Who his own self bear our sins in his own body on the tree, that we being dead to sins should live unto righteousness by whose stripes you were healed. For you were a sheep going astray but are now returned unto the shepherd and bishop of your souls. Thank you so much. Thank you so much, Susan for reading that. We will look at some of the key instructions that are coming through here. As I said, there is an instruction for Godly living and he reminds us, he says sojourners and pilgrims. The intention is to tell the believer, life on earth is temporary. Remember that our citizenship is in heaven. So, sojourners and pilgrims, you are just journeying through. Nothing is permanent here. And he says, when we are, we actually belong to a heavenly kingdom. We must, we must seem that we have come from that heavenly kingdom and have features of that heavenly kingdom. And you know, we have got to be different in other words. And that's why earlier he said, be holy and now again along the same lines he's saying, abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul. Another beautiful, deep concept we can go into is how when we yield to fleshly lusts, there is that deceptive thought that we are going to receive gratification or satisfaction from fleshly lusts because that's how it appears. If you get into it and you get more of it, you're going to feel wonderful but it's deceptive because why here Peter is pointing out fleshly lusts, what do they do? God has designed our soul in a certain way but fleshly lusts are going to go against that design and they are going to bring destruction to the soul. So no man who engages in fleshly lusts can maintain the peace of God, you know, within him or her because there is something opposite about fleshly lusts which is going to destroy the soul that God has given us. So he's saying stay out of these things. We have a different life now. We can't live like the people of the world and go after the things that they are going after. You are sojourners and pilgrims. We have an eternal abode and our mind should be fixed on that. So he says having your conduct honourable among the Gentiles that when they speak against you as evil doers they may by your good works which they observe glorify God in the day of visitations. Just the way Jesus taught us. Good works let people glorify God because of your good works. So when we say believers, hopefully the unbelievers look at it as an upgrade in moral living where they say oh this person believes in Jesus, look at him he's so righteous, look at him he'll never lie, look at him he'll never cheat, look at him he'll never do anything. He won't deal wrongly with money. Hopefully that is our testimony. So that's what he's reminding the believer. When we say we have faith, let it translate in our life and testimony because that is how it should be that life is actually flowing out of us. And he's giving the believers this instruction during a difficult time and in preparation for worse times to come. And you can imagine like Peter what are you talking? Times are getting tough. Everyone is fending for themselves. Everyone is fighting for themselves to establish themselves in the world and get more and all that. And you're telling us keep a good testimony, follow God, be holy. But then what he wants us to realize is look this world is not everything for us. There are greater things in God, in the spiritual realm, at the time of the appearance of our Lord Jesus. So a believer must have that eternal mindset. Only then we will know the value of what Peter is telling us. Live a holy life. Times are difficult but you still make the right choices. You still maintain the good testimony. So that is the call that he's giving the believer. And then two more sections here which we noticed where he says, Submit yourself to every ordinance of man for the Lord's sake. And he lists out king as supreme, governors to those sent by him for the punishment of evil doers, for the praise of those who do good. So what do we understand here? Governing authorities. Today some of us may have kings in our nation, some of us don't. But governing authorities, he says, you be in submission to them. Or you go by the laws that they have kept and the way in which they are guiding the nation. So what is the responsibility of governing authorities to things? Punishment of evil doers, praise of those who do good.  And he wants to uphold justice on the earth. And so like him, there's a reflection. You have authorities, you have people put in places of power who are supposed to do that, uphold justice. So he's saying that's their role. So you be in submission to them for this is the will of God that by doing good, you may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men as free yet not using liberty as a cloak for wise but as born servants of God. So he knows that during the time of persecution, the believers can get rebellious. And they may say, why should we keep the law of the land? Why should we follow our governing authorities? And they can end up having like the testimony among the people will also be spoiled. Now one thing we have to understand whenever we talk about submission, if the governing authorities ask us to do something against God that we cannot follow. But everything else, yes, we can go according to it. When we read the Book of Acts, when we study about the life of Paul, he was under trial and what were they trying to look for? You know that he defamed the Roman authorities and he did his own thing. He broke the law, but they could never find one thing against Paul because they were law abiding citizens. Though we have instances, for example in Acts 4, we have a time when Peter and John and this is the same Peter who says, oh, we can't do it, don't preach in the name of Jesus. He says, sorry, we can't do it.  So don't go with the law if it's asking you to go against God. That even Peter knows. But everything apart from that, he's saying, Christians, believers, we've got to be the most law abiding citizens. Actually, that's how it should be because then what happens? People will look at us and see how we, he writes here, honour all people, love the brotherhood, fear God, honour the king. We are living our life in a very, very righteous way and that should be the testimony of every believer even in times of difficult persecution. So that's the call which is going out to the believers. Next section, he talks about submitting to masters. Masters is a strong word and in their times, there were slaves and masters. But today, not so. We have bosses, we have employers, so we can understand it in that context. So in the workplace, he says, you be submissive to the person who's your authority at the workplace with all fear. What fear? Fear is reverence here, reverence to God. Ultimately, our following of authority, keeping the law, being a good employee is because ultimately we fear God and that's why we are doing it. And very hard thing that he speaks of over here is he says, look, when it comes to bosses, when it comes to superiors, some of them are gentle. Thank God for that. Some of them are good. They are understanding. Excellent. Then the problem is solved in many ways. But some of them are so harsh. But then he says, even when we have harsh people in authority over us, he says, how good is it if you are only submissive to those who are gentle? But he used the word commendable. If we endure unjust grief, suffering and things that are done wrongfully to us, we endure it and still maintain a good attitude towards our boss or our employer. So that is something. It could happen in the places where we work. We don't have the most supportive employer, but as Christian, as a believer, as long as they're not telling us to do anything against God, we must be those who are doing the right thing always. And he goes ahead and then says that God commends it or God is pleased with it. He's happy with it. And he asks this question for what credit is it if when you are beaten for your faults, you take it patiently because one deserves it if they've done wrong. But when you do good and suffer, if you take it patiently, this is commendable before God. So a very hard call there. He says, be submissive, not just to your good master, but also in case they are harsh. You still got to be submissive to them. Then he points to the example of Jesus once again, because that's a perfect example. And he says Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example that you should follow his steps who committed no sin, nor was deceit found in his mouth. So he's telling us, see, we go through some of these seasons where unjustly we are treated in an evil way. But it's not a new experience for Jesus. He also went through it. He did nothing, but he still suffered, right? But because he trusted God and he trusted God for the ultimate outcome. There are so many other examples we can look at stories like Esther, the book of Esther where there was a plot against the Jews. And it was so difficult to turn the rules and the laws in favor of the Jews. There were people who were actually scheming and planning to destroy the Jews. But you see, when they put their trust in God, you find Esther and the people, they fast, they look to the Lord. So how did the solution come? They look to the Lord and then ultimately that whole thing happens. The gallows that is built for Mordecai is finally, Haman is the one who dies on it. So there are instances in scripture where we see God coming through so powerfully on behalf of his people because they have put their trust in God. Are they going through injustice? Yes. Is this unfair? Yes. But Peter is saying, don't get hassled. God will come through for you. So you do the right thing, right? Look at Jesus. He committed no sin, but he went through suffering and then he talks more about Jesus. Again, you know, doctrine, like the book of Hebrews, we can keep on talking about these passages who when he was reviled did not revile in return. When he suffered, he did not threaten but committed himself to him who judges righteously. See there, a good attitude. He had a good attitude even during suffering because of what? We fear God. That's why we do this because he, him who judges righteously, he committed himself to God who himself bore our sins in his own body on the tree that we having died to sins might live for righteousness. So here the righteousness of God, we are now the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. When we read, I think it's Romans 521. So we can learn so much about the righteousness that has now been bestowed upon us. And we see the work of the cross, Isaiah 53, by whose stripes you were healed. Why does he say were healed? We were talking about past tense, present tense. Well, on the day or in those moments when Jesus died on the cross, as far as Peter is concerned, and he is one of those disciples who was there. He even denied Christ. But he knew of a spiritual reality and that is the great exchange took place in those moments when Jesus died on the cross. And that's why he's using the past tense here. And it's not a grammatical mistake. It is in the Greek also it is were he's using it in the past because it's done. It's a done deal. Our healing was bought for us on the cross of Calvary 2000 years ago. We were healed. So if I confess and I make a declaration, I was healed by the stripes of Jesus. It's doctrinally, biblically very accurate. Then it says, for you were like sheep going astray but have now returned to the shepherd and overseer of your soul.  We can do it because we trust God. So let me just come here and see if there are any questions before we move into chapter three. Any thoughts, any questions? It's quite straightforward. Now let's move on to chapter three here. And the submission of wives that is being spoken of and wives are being encouraged. Would somebody like to read it? You can read from verse one. And let's read verse six. So that's one section. Let's go over that. One, two, six. One, two, six. It reads, Yes. In the same way, you wives must accept the authority of your husband. And even if some refuse to obey the good news, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be worn over by observing your pure and reverent lives.  Expensive jewelry or beautiful clothes. You should clothe yourself instead with the beauty that comes from within. The unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God. This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful. They put their trust in God and accepted the authority of their husbands. For instance, Sarah obeyed her husband, Abraham, and called him her master. You are our daughters when you do what is right without fear of what your husbands might do. Yes. Thank you. So this is in the context of women getting saved once they are married. And now that they are saved, they are believers, but their husbands are still unbelievers. So how to deal with this situation? We see Paul addressing this to the Corinthian church. Even in the book of Ephesians, Paul talks about the mystery of the way God deals with the church. And then he uses the example of marriage there and says husbands love your wives. And so this matter, this issue was happening during those times. And women were probably perplexed about what needs to be done now because I am a believer and he is not a believer. So even in such a situation here, of course, Paul addresses that and he says that if the person wants to live with you, then you just stay with that person. But if that person abandons you, then that's fine. What can you do? But if the person chooses to stay, so over here there are women and their husbands are staying with them. They've chosen to stay with them. Maybe, maybe what happened to them is now that they understand about the great blessings in Christ. There is a tendency to look down upon the unbeliever. And in this case, it's a husband that they are married to. But Peter reminds them that it's still the context of marriage and the government structure in marriage is what God has prescribed. And he says it's God, the husband, and then the wife. So that is the government structure as far as the family is concerned. So he is reiterating that. Peter is reiterating that and he says wives likewise be submissive to your own husbands. And notice he says to your own husbands because there are, you know, lots of schools of thought and theological arguments about how in general women have to be subject to men in general, right? Like all women be submissive to all men. But Peter is clarifying here. He's saying look, that's not how it is. He says, I mean there are so many scriptures we can go into but I'm trying not to go into those things. He says, be submissive to your own husbands. So this is in the context of marriage. Then that even if some do not obey the word, they without a word may be won by the conduct of their wives. When they observe your chaste conduct accompanied by fear. So he's saying, even in the case of somebody who is, you know, so far away from God, they don't obey the word. And the words that you say, he's saying that there is a way of winning such a husband over and that is by the life and conduct that one has, right? And living a life of reverence. That's the word fear there. And he says, even without a word. So when we have this kind of a conduct in the context of marriage, right? In the context of marriage, then God will do a work in the husband's life. I mean, it's a tall claim. He says, even without a word, so there's no need to keep instructing, keep, you know, pointing to what needs to be done or just going on, you know, nagging the husband.  But, you know, we must understand that over here, this has not happened because somebody has chosen to marry an unbeliever. But when women got saved and they were already in these marriages, Peter's giving them this instruction. Don't worry.  And then he continues. He says, so the emphasis is on that God fearing behavior, conduct before the husband. So in that context, with that emphasis, he says, do not let your adornment be merely outward, arranging the hair, wearing gold, putting on fine apparel. Rather, let it be the hidden person of the heart with the incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very precious in the sight of God. So he's saying that through this good conduct, the husbands can be won over, not really through external things. And he has listed them out, right, like your appearance and the way one dresses up and all that. So that's understood. But then again, when this is misinterpreted, people come up with things such as women should not adorn themselves, you know, your hair and jewelry is wrong. But that's definitely not the point that Peter is making. So if you go back and look at, I'll come to that. You look at women, old women, and here there's a reference to Sarah. When you see Sarah, you know, going to be with Abraham, or she was given jewelry. So why is Sarah being commanded as a godly woman when she wore jewelry? You look at people like Rebecca, they wore jewelry. So we must not misinterpret what the focus of what is being said here. The emphasis is godly conduct. When we have godly conduct, when such a wife is submissive to her husband, that is this possibility of that unbelieving husband being won over. So verse five says, for in this manner, in former times, the holy women who trusted in God also adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands. Okay, so we are going to talk about Sarah here. So Sarah was submissive to Abraham as Sarah obeys Abraham, calling him Lord, whose daughters you are if you do good and are not afraid with any terror. So she was submissive to Abraham and calling him Lord is more like honor. So she honored her husband. She was submissive to her husband. And that is an example of Sarah that we can draw from in the context of marriage. Okay, so any thoughts and questions before we jump to the next section here? Instruction to husbands. Hello, Pastor Nancy. Yes. How do you, I think I get the context of this, but for some women in our contemporary times now, how do you let them understand that? Or rather, let me put it this way. Some of them are object to the fact of calling their husbands Lord. So how do we explain this to them in a way that they understand that this is cultural opportunity to the Jewish people who are the same type? As a wife, you should regard your husband. You should accord him respect, basically. I think that's the gist of this verse. But some people might just sit and take it on the surface and try to compel their wives to call them Lord. Can we just address this? Yes. So we would need to take the essence of it, say, and that is honor your husbands. That's what it says. So when Sarah called him Lord, it simply means she honored her husband. So women are being encouraged to honor their husbands. And that can come as an exhortation, that can come as a gentle exhortation to them to honor their husbands. Now, why doesn't it happen in marriages? There are so many different reasons for that. But as we continue ahead in his instruction to the husband, there is something good that you can learn. And if a husband would behave in the way that Peter is instructing, hopefully the reaction and response of the wife will be one of honor. So can I go into the next section? So then that will help you. No, I was just asking so to kind of because, you know, sometimes you could read these passages and because they say, oh, it's in the Bible, then their wives must call me Lord. So I just wanted to bring that off so that for essence of discussion, I don't know if you get what I'm saying. So people feel like because it's in the Bible, then they have every right to demand of their wives to call them Lord. Yes, I think we just brought out the answer is the essence that we should look at here. That's honor and respect. Yes. Yeah, and people who want to take these matters, you know, on the surface level they understand it and they take it. A lot of that is already happening. And it's very unfortunate. They keep doing that. Yes. But that's not what it means. Thank you, Pastor. Yeah, sure. Yes, Sister Rupa. Mama, I just wanted to add. Honor is something which is deep within inside. Just because we call somebody Lord doesn't mean that we honor them. That is what the point Peter is making there. Sarah was supposed to be the most beautiful woman in that time. And at the same time, the spirit of God is pointing out to us that her heart, the deep within her, she has a wonderful quality which God desires and honors. So no one many times people put down Sarah, but the spirit of God is saying that she has a very beautiful nature deep within her, which God is honoring. And not only that the life she went through with Abraham twice she was he lied to the people there because he was very afraid because she was so beautiful. And he had to say she is she was her sister. But both times when it when things like that happen, naturally women will have a content of are a deep hurt towards their husband, because husband is one who has to protect them. But Sarah, Abraham tells Sarah, even before they start their journey, because you're very beautiful, please, wherever we go, I'll tell them that you are my sister. So that understanding their love for each other and their oneness is something which is very noticeable there. She loved her husband. And because of her love, she was willing to do that. But because of her faith, God was so faithful that she delivered, he delivered her in those situations. In that context, when Sarah is calling her husband, Lord, it makes a sense, a greater meaning. Because when people, we are all people, we are sinful people, we don't, everyone has their own weaknesses. But in spite of that in the Lord, we are honoring the other person, we are loving the other person. That is what the writer is trying to bring out, I think, ma'am, I don't know. Thank you. Yeah, very true sister. Thank you so much for sharing all these thoughts. That's right. Yes, in the midst of all the flaws that both husbands and wives have, the writer is still trying to tell them that this is the way in which they need to relate with one another. And I think the underlying truth which has not been mentioned, but it is understood is love. When there is love, like first Corinthians 13, that kind of love, then all these things are possible. So thank you, sister. Thank you so much for sharing that. We will look at the instructions to the husbands and then we will wrap up for today. So could someone kindly read verse 7 here? First, husbands, these two wives, in an understanding way, showing her to the Lord as the leader also, since they are chairs with you, have the place of life so that your chairs may not be broken. Yes, thank you. Thank you, Asha. So, as we see here, we notice that there is an instruction to husbands as well. Now, it could be the same context where there is a spouse and they don't believe in God. But then he says, dwell with them or don't leave the person. So earlier he did talk to the wife, but now he's talking to the husbands and he says, you dwell with them. Don't just leave and go. Dwell with them with understanding. So not just being there like physically present, but there's a very key word for marriage here and that word is understanding. Like even when you go to the book of Proverbs, it says that the house is built with understanding. So if there is no understanding, then it's very difficult in a marriage. But he is pointing to the importance of developing that understanding. He says dwell with the wife with understanding. So grow in understanding, understanding each other. And another thing that he tells the husbands is giving honour. Yes, he told the wife, be submissive. Sarah called her husband Lord, meaning she honoured her husband. Now, he's telling the husband as well, honour the wife. Giving honour to the wife. See, these are the important things. So when the husband has this attitude, it becomes a lot easier for the wife to be submissive and to honour the husband. Now, yes, even if the husbands are not, that's what Peter said that they need to hold on. Trust God and eventually the husband will change. But if the husband is like this, then it becomes so much easier for the wife. If the husband dwells with understanding, gives honour to his wife and it says as a weaker vessel. How weaker in the biblical texts when we read, we don't necessarily see that the woman is weak spiritually. Because right in this passage, he says being heirs together or they are co-heirs. We have the same inheritance spiritually in Christ. So women are not weaker than men spiritually in that sense. Even emotionally, we don't see that women are weaker than men emotionally. So he's not referring to that. But yes, physically, if you compare the kind of things that men can do, the strength which they have, maybe women may not be able to demonstrate that form of physical strength. So in that context, he says weaker vessel as being heirs together of the grace of life that your prayers may not be hindered and he puts a warning there and it's a spiritual warning. He says look, if you don't do this for your wife, then it will affect you spiritually. What might happen? Prayers can also be hindered if a husband is not dealing in the right manner with his wife.  Better treat your wife right. So that is the instruction to men. So let's close because I know you have another class and what we'll do is we'll have our next class on Friday. Let's see how much we can complete. Yeah, but we will be done in time. So could somebody kindly pray as we close today's class? Yes, please. Thank you. Yeah, Father, we praise you, acknowledge your holy name. Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity to learn and grow together, Father. Thank you for this subject. Thank you for the life of past lands. As we keep on growing and learning from the book of Peter, Father, thank you for the wonderful insights and deep revelations. I thank you for this wonderful opportunity and I dedicate each and everyone to be the future king of soldiers. Father, thank you so much for this beautiful atmosphere and learning of the faith. I give all glory and honor to your name only. I ask this prayer in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen. Amen. Thank you Prabhakar. Thank you everyone. God bless you. I look forward to meeting you on Friday. Bye for now. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you, Pastor. Thank you. Thank you everyone. Thank you, Pastor.


So one of three ideas I want to put in there is the importance of spaced repetition, and repetition can have choice, whether that's which book do you want to read first. Not which book do you want to read is the idea of choice but repetition. And so the brain research tells us again that early learning needs some choice brought into it. That idea of only going in one path through the repetition, make it a big letter M, make it a small letter M, draw in crayon, make the color variation. That whole idea of repetition with early learning with choice is part of that consideration. All of us repeat. We go into a room and we remind ourselves why we went into that room, or at least I've been teaching long enough to try and remember which book was I going for. As I immediately find another book I want to get another book and it's like, don't leave the room without the book you came in here for. It's the idea of I need repetition, but I need some choice. So I'm using an adult humor example to talk about giving children, we're going to read these two books, do these two word learning activities. But there could be flexibility and interchangeability that makes a child feel they have agency and empowerment. So, what happens is things are in short term memory. And we all know about the working memory and the short term memory, but to go to long term memory, the research of the early learners says to us, they need seven to 10 repetitions space, but in close proximity. So that concept is, we can know it today, you heard the old adage in one ear and out the other. That is not what we're talking about and that is not true. But the idea that if we space the repetition and do it again, more times with fun with enjoyment. How many times do you think I kept referring to the M from Max's name. So the old idea of one and done. We've done it once I taught that it's done. But the cognitive concept we're talking about means we have to come back to revisit it over time. But why choice. What is for building cognition choices what's build memory agency ownership. So if we only have repetition, but we don't have a degree of choice. Now, I used to say to my colleagues at the university, we're still talking forced choice. We know the parameters of what we want to teach today, but it's possible there could be a little bit of flexibility, which says, as a learner. I control some of my own learning, but I need to do it all, but it can vary. And that's one thing that we've been talking about a lot in this work. One and done, but the cognitive concept is revisit over time, and choice makes it memorable. I repeated on purpose. I said it at the beginning, I gave an example, then I gave a repetition, it will stick differently, it will go deeper, it'll go from working memory to long term memory, more often that way, simple example. So what do we do, what are ways to implement and think about this in regard to alphabet charts. We have many different versions in classrooms. I believe some games, listening with ears and looking with eyes. You know those big glasses that children love to do. And if you're old enough to remember Ding Dong School and Miss Francis she had a magnifying glass. I have never gotten children to look more closely at something than just having a glass in a little frame, which isn't magnified, but they go oh my gosh, I'm listening and I'm looking. That's both sides of the brain, adding now making the print visible. It comes together in a very logical way. I didn't say much about games with repeating sounds, but that actually takes us to the concept I've been talking about, which is long term memory, and not just one and done. We listen with our ears, and we look with our eyes. We often say as Mara Clay said, to the ear to the mouth to the eye to the hand. How do we repeat in many ways throughout the day, make it fun, but have opportunity for choice. Those are big ideas I've been talking about. So when I say fun practice. I'm not talking fluff. I'm talking serious focus, but with a lighthearted different voices in the room, ping ponging across the room, repeating again for fluency. So when we decode which is essential to teach and stress. We aren't done. I like to say in a rhyming fashion we've just begun. The more has to be done. So, while that's a rhyme, in a bad way, I have to admit, people will say you're not a poet. But from that standpoint when I wrote that I was thinking, the idea is those sounds repeat, but they don't all look alike. Spelling and sounding may not match. That's part of what we have to expose kids to back to the first idea, making print visible. Thank you so much, Dr. You my friend. Yes, so let's talk about those fun ways to practice within seesaw. So seesaw now offers as Tracy mentioned earlier a subscription of standard aligned ready to teach lessons that support students with skills that they absolutely need the most. One of the fun phonemes lessons collections was built to support phonemic awareness. So earlier Dr. Klein emphasize the importance of that spaced repetition of sounds in order to build long term memory of those sounds with fun phonemes each lesson is designed to give us that repeated practice to hear to interact with and to practice the sounds in the English language. We know that children's speech sounds develop as soon as they utter their first babbles as babies, while acquiring the sounds vary from child to child So research does show that there is a predictable pattern to which they are able to produce sounds according to their age and our activities were created to follow this pattern. Fun phonemes is completely focused on sound so it's all phonemic audio and each activity includes ways for the child to see the sound in many different ways. Now I'm going to actually jump into a fun phonemes lesson. So here I am into in my seesaw journal. The fun phonemes collection is available for all teachers we're excited to share with you beginning this week as a part of our teacher preview. So let me show you in our activities library tab so you'll notice within the next few days that you'll have access to this amazing collection in your activity library. So let me show you how to get there. So I am going to begin by tapping that green add button, going to assign activity. So here you can see I'm in my activity library. I'm going to click on that tab that you see that says seesaw lessons there's a little new shiny new icon next to that you will see that appear in your library, shortly. So here I am in the lessons library so this is where you will have a preview of these four collections you'll have access to all the lessons within these collections but we're going to take a look at fun phonemes. I'm going to click on fun phonemes. And we're actually going to explore the letter I lesson. So I'm going to scroll down to find that letter I lesson and with these seesaw lessons. You do have the ability to assign them directly from the library you don't have to save them to your personal library so I'm going to go ahead and click assign. I'm going to select the class like I would normally do, and I am going to go ahead and assign that to my students. And when students respond to a seesaw activity, they're going to see that activity show up in their activity library and all they have to do is click add response I'm going to submit a response on behalf of the sample students so that we can pop into this fun phonemes lesson for the letter I, and you can see what it looks like from a student viewpoint. So students begin here on the clickable homepage which takes them on this journey to explore that letter I sound. So they begin here by clicking that link where it says start. So we'll begin that journey by watching an instructional video with teacher Barnes and her buddy sound. So I'm going to play the video for you. And as you watch this video I want you to notice how teacher Barnes and sound how are really intentional about enunciating clearly and visually showing students how to make the sound. And this is also really great to support students in learning how to form their mouth to make the sound, especially now when our students have one mask, and they can't see us actually articulate and make those sounds with our mouth. So in the video, as we watch, you'll notice that the sound is repeated over and over again to support that strategy that Dr. Klein mentioned of spaced repetition. So let's take a look. Today is the sound party. Come join me. Hi teacher Barnes. Oh hi sound hound. Teacher Barnes. Yes. You've got milk on your lip. Oh my goodness. Milk on my lip. I took a sip of milk and now I have it on my lip. Better wipe it off before the party begins. The milk is off my lip. Now I'm ready. Are you ready sound hound? Let's make the sound. First, I keep my tongue lifted up to my top teeth as I slightly open my mouth and say it. It. Now you try. Hmm. You got it. Listen to these words with the sound. It. Babe. It. Dish. It. Six. Now you try. Hmm. It. Zip. Right. So I just wanted to play a little bit of that video so you can get an idea of what students will see. So after they watch that video on how to make the sound, you'll notice that there are these kid friendly navigation button. So they're just going to click on that arrow and that's going to take them to the next page. On every page, there are directions in English and in Spanish that explain for students what to do. And then the content is all in audio. So either a video or an audio. So students will navigate navigate throughout this lesson and they will listen to the sound multiple times. They will actually have opportunities to circle the cloud that makes the sound and record themselves saying the sound as they navigate they get to sort images that make that sound. So they have that repeated practice of engaging with that sound and at the end of the lesson after they go through that journey. There is a connection activity that can be completed at home specifically with a family member or with a friend that brings families into the learning. But you'll notice that there are multiple activities that students engage with in multi dimensional ways. This is meant for students to be to complete over the course of multiple days. So you can assign this for a center activity. I saw a question in the chat about how you you still how you differentiate for those students that are progressing or at an advanced and those students that still have the ability to do that. So how you differentiate for those students that are progressing or at an advanced and those students that still need more support. This is a way that you can differentiate you can assign these lessons just for that students those students that need that support, they have everything within the lesson to interact independently. You see they have the draft button, they can save that as a draft and they can come back to it each day. So that is that letter I activity. I have for you three fun phoning lessons to share with you today. These lessons include a short I lesson and in G lesson and along E lesson. But remember, as a part of our new teacher preview you will have access to the entire collection in your activity library, like the demo that I showed you all the lessons allow students that repeated practice with the sound in multiple ways. And we will be sharing the links to all of these lessons with you at the end of this session and in the follow up email.
