I think the thing I find most satisfying about working in the community is seeing someone newly arrived, establish themselves, find a home, find schools for their children, learn English, meet people, start to integrate and participate in community life and then go on to find employment and really establish themselves. So I love to see someone when they're newly arrived and then two, three, four, five years down the track where their children are going to school and they're working and they're really achieving success. And you'll be able to help dad with all the interpreting and yes. I'm the CEO of the Wyndham Community and Education Centre which is a community provider which provides education and settlement services. The sort of things that I do is to help people when they need to find housing, to help them when they need to find educational programs. So it's about assisting them with pathways into training or into employment, helping them to complete forms, documents, helping to prepare them for interviews. It's about talking to them about applying for citizenship. It's also about assisting them to get their children into schools to enroll them. And what's that green leaf? What's that called? I love learning about people's food, their traditions. I love learning about the culture around family traditions. I feel that working as part of the community and working closely with lots of different members of the community enriches my life. I hope I'm able to give something back to them as well. We don't all do things in the same way but at the end of the day we are all human beings and we all want one thing and that's usually to live a peaceful and happy life, to have a settled family and to be able to go about our daily business in peace and harmony.


Well, Sam is the expert, but I think he was a little conservative last year. As I see these trends continue, and we see the economy continue to show very positive signs, you know, and the consumer trend of people getting these unbelievable phones and data plans, my money is that it's going to be even more aggressive shift than we're even predicting right now, into mobile and specifically into mobile video. And I'm excited that Twitter is investing in India, that we're doing a lot in the video space with a lot of our content partners across news, sports, and entertainment. So we're very excited to do more with our partners here. We finished 2017 extremely strong and I couldn't be more proud and excited about what we've been able to accomplish this past year. We posted our first profit, growing the business internationally by 17% year on year. And even more exciting, I think, is that we've had double-digit user growth for five consecutive quarters. 2018 is poised to be a year of growth for Twitter, and we're really excited about what we're going to be able to do in India. I think it's a golden age for India. You know, if you look at the fact that corporations are posting very significant profits, you've got hundreds of millions of people moving above the poverty line, and you've got maybe the largest mobile technological revolution in the world. Whatever's happened in the West is going to happen in India much faster and at much greater scale. And I think that a lot of the estimates for what we see happening may be conservative as it relates to digital spend. I look at the market, you know, it's still very, very much leaning towards some sort of traditional formats of TV and print. And with the way consumers are moving to mobile and to video, I think 2018 may be an inflection point for big shifts into the digital space. And for Twitter, we're really excited about the position we have here in the market and investing here in 2018.


So we've been covering a Sunday school class on the doctrines of grace and I Mean for this to be a class time even though it's a we're kind of have a bigger group now So I would what I mean by that is I would like your interaction when I would ask questions or As some other teachers have said I might have to pick you out if you don't Raise your hand or speak up. So let's go ahead and review what we've covered in the past few weeks What is Total depravity, how do you define the total party pastoral Rick taught that that class? Yes, that's right. It's a total lack of spiritual good and inability to do good before God. Okay, so You're in this box and you have the total depravity disease of your soul Okay, next we have unconditional election. How is that defined? Chase? Yes, so completely by his grace He's gonna pick out and save a particular people a Certain number of people Okay, he's elected these two Not because they're the they've looked the best or because they are of any foreseen merit in them But only by God's mercy and grace. Okay. Now limited atonement Right. Yes, very good. Very good. So Here I'm gonna put that Christ paid a particular price for his elect and Now here we are at irresistible grace this grace that comes to a particular people is a grace that Cannot be resisted because it is a sovereign work of God to remove our resistance to remove our Hatred for him and instead give us a great love for him. So Let's think about How we define irresistible grace. Here's a quote from James White Irresistible grace then is simply the assertion that God's grace expressed sovereign and in the sovereign free act of regeneration is irresistible When God chooses to raise one of his elect to life He can do so without asking permission of the dead creature You're saying what he's saying? Saying that we are much worse than we credit ourselves to be We are dead creatures and that's why it resists grace is irresistible Because it's not a matter of you simply making the choice, but it's a matter of you being dead and he makes you alive some people have opposed the doctrine of grace the doctrines of grace with especially with irresistible grace and Saying such things as that it is God forcing himself upon people or some have so Gone so far as to say that it is cosmic rape That irresistible grace is God making people into robots and forcing them to believe Okay, I'm gonna read you a quote by C. S. Lewis Well-known author and then you got to tell me what's wrong with it. Okay? Okay, this is from his writing it in The trouble with X is the title God has made it a rule for himself that he won't alter people's character by force He can and will alter them But only if people will let him and that way he has really and truly limited his power Sometimes we wonder why he has done so or even wish that he hadn't but apparently he thinks it's worth doing He would rather have a world of free beings with all its risks than a world of people who did write like machines Because they couldn't do anything else the more we succeeded imagining what a world of perfect automatic beings would be like the more I think we shall see his wisdom What's wrong with that statement, right? Yes, so that's very well stated. It's not Man that's central in his will but God no yes No one yes, it's an impossibility because of how wicked We are he's underestimating how sinful we are We are so sinful and born this way that We would never come to him Unless he were to move in his grace You must be born again That's the bottom line of this lesson You need grace that's irresistible. You need grace that's right from God himself You need a miracle of the soul you must be born again You can't simply make yourself a Christian whenever you want you need a savior You don't have just you're not sick or broken You're dead in your trespasses and sins. You need a resurrection with the doctrines of grace has been well said that With these doctrines when you believe them and understand them they are the continental divide of theology and What that illustration means is there's like the Rocky Mountains, right on the in our continent When rain hits on one side of the Rockies, then it's gonna flow out to the Pacific Ocean When rain hits on the other side of the Rockies it grows down rivers and the rivers flow to the Atlantic Ocean And the idea is that on that one mountain you have the same raiding cloud drop Drops of water and they're either gonna flow out to The Atlantic Ocean or to the Pacific It depends on which side of the mountain they fall on that Continental divide the doctrines of grace are a continental divide of theology If you deny them then you begin become very man-centered in your thinking Very man-centered in your understanding of salvation very man-centered and you begin to become pragmatic easy believism Grows in the soil of Arminian ism Easy believism grows in the soil of Arminian ism Arminianism is not a heresy doesn't make you not a Christian, but it makes it very easy to Have heresy It begins a slide into man-centered ideas If God is the one who must save by irresistible grace if he must make people born again and if he does this because we are totally depraved and In order for these things to go together Think with me now if they're not true Okay, that man is not totally depraved and that he can decide for himself Then I can begin to change my message not to please God But instead I will change it to what can persuade people to repent Haven't you ever been preaching the gospel and someone comes up to you and says let me give you a word of advice You know, I know you just told me about the Bible and I know I've never read the Bible But let me tell you about how to reach people for your religion. You've got to do it such and such this way and Then you kindly explain to them.   Trying to persuade people into the kingdom or are you a messenger an ambassador of God? Trying to speak the words of God in a way that pleases God Who is the one who saves? But yes, God saves now. Do you really believe that if you don't hold these doctrines there? There is a way in which you don't really believe that God saves You must be born again. Yes, Dan. Yes Yes we Yes, you're right. We do reason with people. We just reason with them the way the Bible shows us to reason with them Not the way the world tells us to reason with them Thank you for making that clear. Okay, so think here now about a couple more quotes that help make the definition of irresistible grace more clear This is from Bethlehem Baptist Church up in Minnesota, Minneapolis More specifically irresistible grace refers to the sovereign work of God to overcome the rebellion of our heart and bring us To faith in Christ so that we can be saved if our doctrine of total depravity is true There can be no salvation without the reality of irresistible grace if we are dead in our sins Totally unable to submit to God then we will never believe in Christ unless God overcomes our rebellion You understand that the key is the irresistible grace is that God himself Overcomes our rebellion. He doesn't move apart from our will He instead overcomes our rebellion To him quote number two when a person hears a preacher call for repentance. He can resist that call But God but if God gives him repentance, he cannot resist because the gift is the removal of resistance See the gift is the removal of resistance not being willing to repent is the same as resisting the Holy Spirit So if God gives repentance, it is the same as taking away the resistance. That is why this work of God is called irresistible grace Okay, so let's go ahead and we're gonna look at the general call and effectual call Then John 6 and then we're gonna look at applications So let's go ahead and turn to Matthew 22 14 Brian would you read Matthew 22 14? So where do we see the effectual call in that verse? Go ahead. Say what do you say that again Brian? So few are chosen. We see the effectual call in with election Where's the the general call? So many are called But it's only effectual with those that are chosen. Do you see that? So both the effectual call and the general call the effectual call is irresistible grace Where when God makes a dead sinner alive when someone is born again the general call is The gospel that goes out to everybody That distinction is helps you understand the difference between many of many of the objections with the irresistible grace Let's look at first Corinthians 1 9 and Lee would you read first Corinthians 1 9? Okay, now this is an introduction many of the introductions Have some key words that are used like slave of Christ or someone who is a Is called here here speaking to the church at Corinth The Apostle Paul refers to them as people who have been called Affectually God is faithful by whom you were called into the fellowship of his son Jesus Christ our Lord This is the effectual call Okay, let's look at Romans 8 28 to 30 Romans 8 28 to 30 He says Verse 28 and we know that all things work together for good to those who love God to those who are the called According to his purpose For whom he foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of his son that he might be the firstborn among many brethren Moreover whom he predestined these he also called whom he called these he also justified and whom he justified These he also glorified So how do we know the called in verse 28 and verse 30 is not the general call? So he justifies them he sanctifies them and glorifies them So with everybody who gets the general call Do they get sanctified justified glorified? No, no Yes, I believe so That's right Yep, the the called is those who are effectually called according to his purpose you see that That's what the purpose a little stick figure analogy is to see that he his purpose in Tulip his purpose and total depravity on unconditional election limited atonement irresistible grace his head is a Eternal purpose something that he has planned and that is why in the end we have perseverance We have assurance that we will persevere to the end Because this eternal work of God has begun and before time began Okay, so let's look now at 1st Peter 1 3 Since the effectual call Will always come to pass whomever God wants to save he will save In that is the idea of regeneration in that is the idea that you must be born again Go ahead. Josh. Would you read? 1st Peter 1 3 and 1 23 1 3 and 1 23 So there we see that he's begotten us again the same idea as that we have been born again In verse 23 So here how does someone get born again? through the word of God Through the word of God that's a beautiful picture that the the holy spirit rides in the chariot of his word So someone is born again, and it is a work of God the spirit. Let's look at John 3 in John 3 Versus 3 to 8 and Jesus answered and said to him most assuredly I say to you unless one is born again He cannot see the kingdom of God So we see that this is an absolute necessity. It's an absolute must You must if you want to go to heaven when you die, you've got to be born again Every single person in the room wants to be born again, right? You you've So how does this happen and Nicodemus says how can a man be born when he's old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born? Jesus answered most assuredly I say to you unless one is born of water in the spirit He cannot enter the kingdom of God That which is born of the flesh is flesh and that was which is born of the spirit is spirit Do not marvel that I said to you you must be born again The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it But you cannot tell where it comes where it goes. So is everyone who is born of the spirit So God decides who will be saved God decides in his election And in his irresistible grace he moves as the wind moves And no one can tell who he will save This these doctrines that we've been going over are really Some of the most offensive doctrines in all the bible Why is total depravity offensive? Yes pride. Let's let's work that out. Let's flush that out. Give us some details, too That's it. We could answer that that one to every question. Why is it having pride? So let's give it some practical example. Why is there a pride not like that? Yes, they they don't like the offense of its Unconditional election worked out that God has Elected and chosen a certain people and so he's paid the price for certain people and that offense continues on So what about irresistible grace? Why is that offensive? Yes, because it's in an affront to free will Now what I want you to see in all those offenses and thinking about all them They're all based in that you don't get the t right You see that If you get the t right Then it's going to set you a right Do you really see how sinful you are? I love the doctrines of grace I love to think about them. I love to sing about them. And you know why? Because they exalt the gospel In the gospel we see that we are wicked people Sinful people that we have been foolish people What we should have known to do We were fools To disobey God the way that we have We were ignorant we were disobedient what we did know Then we defied God in it We were slaves to our sin What we did know and what we didn't want to do all the time we We were overcome by our lusts and desires I know that we knew that it was wrong, but we're going to go ahead and do it anyway and all of this Worked itself out in our lives Lives full of envy Hateful and hating one another And in our best works We had all these sins of pride We have been totally depraved from the womb to the tomb But in sovereign grace In a grace that is completely Apart from us That it's a work of God Almighty Where he this acts he's the one who moves. He's the one who comes searching for us The idea of irresistible grace is pictured in the story of the The parable of the The lost son And his father who goes searching for him Who's the one who searches for the son? But the the father was the one looking down the road waiting for the prodigal son to return In the idea of the lost sheep who goes out but the the shepherd goes and finds his lost sheep That an irresistible grace is the idea that if God didn't come looking for us Then we would have never turned to him But because of that whoever God goes looking for He finds He's effectual for that He doesn't lose them But they persevere to the end All of his elect he will make sure that they are saved This is a very encouraging doctrine It puts trust in faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Let's look in John 6 In John 6 we have the feeding of the 5000 Where the Lord has been preached to the gospel and the people have been with him for days And so he out of the Lord Jesus Christ out of compassion He considers how they need to be fed and he has them sit down in a grassy area and he begins to ask And in verse 5 he says to Philip our Lord says to Philip Where shall we buy bread that these may eat? And John lets us in in verse 6 to let us know that it was a trick question Jesus said but This he had said to test him for he himself knew what he would do He just wanted Philip to really think about it. What's going to happen and Philip answered 200 an area worth of bread is not sufficient for them That every one of them may have a little So In effect that Philip says, you know, 20,000 dollars wouldn't be able to buy lunch for all these people Where are we going to get 20,000 bucks? Jesus says this knowing this In order to set up this miracle and this miracle Is there to set up The doctrines Of grace to set up. What is the gospel really like? What is it like when someone gets converted? And what's it like when there's a false convert? He's going to set that up where there's a feeding of the 5,000 that miracle is a miracle of amazing grace the people And after he's done with the miracle Jesus sends the disciples over the sea of galley and he begins to at night He walks across the sea of galley and gets in the boat in the middle of the sea The next day they are in a synagogue on the other side of the sea of galley in capernaum in verse 26 We pick up the story Where the people have been looking for christ and they find him in They say in verse 25 rabbi, when did you come here in verse 26? Jesus answered it and said most assuredly i say to You you seek me not because you saw the signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled Now i'm a mechanic at work and one thing the mechanics at work love is free lunch When there's free lunch everybody at work is is happy for just for a couple hours Complaining tends to go away when the bellies get full But then when it gets to be the next meal time The complaining comes back. I wish you get paid more Oh, this is such a stressful job But then when you get free lunch you kind of forget about it for a little while again The lunch doesn't solve the problem. The problem is a matter of the heart The miracle doesn't solve the problem here for these people It's a matter of the heart and the Lord is going to expose their hearts in this conversation He says in verse 27 do not labor for the food which perishes But for the food which endures the everlasting life Which the Son of man will give you because God the Father has set his seal on him The Lord Jesus is turning them away from stop thinking about free food and start thinking about what is in front of you The savior of the world You're coming to me because I got you lunch But I have eternal life Do they have eyes to see do they have ears to hear Jesus often does this especially in the book of John. John loves to Display how Jesus turns these life Pictures into spiritual lessons lessons Throughout the book of John. Well, can you think of a one or two where the Where Jesus does this in the book of John where he takes a like Water at the woman with the woman at the well And he says well, I have water For you to drink that you'll never thirst again And he takes this Imagery and he makes a eternal life gospel lesson out of it. What's another example in the book of John? No Yes, he has a An actual act that he does there where he raises Lazarus from the dead and he does that act As a picture and a statement about salvation through for the rest of time For people to look back and see for him to say i'm the resurrection of life So that we can read that now and we can be saved from reading that story What's another picture? Yes, that Jesus is the bread of life And he's going to get into that picture here. He also goes with nicodemus. He says about being born again Like like we read Throughout the book of John you see these pictures and here the bread of life is Is on display In verse 28 then he said to him what shall we do that we may works the work of God The people begin to say okay. What work do we got to do? What do we got to do in order to They they understand he's talking about salvation now What do we got to do? And he said this is the work of God that you believe in him whom he sent This is Something they're not ready to do we'll see in verse 30 therefore. They said to him What sign will you perform that they may see it and believe you? What work will you do our fathers ate the manna in the desert as it is written he gave them bread from heaven to eat Now like a typical evangelism Story the person who's lost here is quoting scripture and it's misquoted They're quoting the psalms And they've completely missed the whole idea Jesus says to them. Okay. You want to do the works of God believe on me and they say okay. We'll believe show us a sign moses gave us a sign free lunch And jesus says them in verse 32 you've you missed entire point Most assuredly i say to you moses did not give you the bread from heaven But my father gives you the true bread from heaven For the bread of god is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world Here you see in verse 33 is a limited atonement because it is an actual giving of life It's not a potential giving of life, but as an actual he gives life Then they said to him lord give us this bread always And jesus said to them plainly. He says in plainly. I am the bread of life He who comes to me shall never hunger and he who believes in me shall never thirst But I said to you that you have seen me and yet you do not believe All that the father gives me will come to me and the one who comes to me I will know I no means cast out. Where do you see the doctrines of grace in verse 37 That they will persevere we see the the p the perseverance of the saints they will He will not cast them out. What else my love Yes, we see unconditional election the father is the one who gives them to the son And what else yes, that's right They still won't believe That's right. It's not a doubt. It's gonna happen Because it's irresistible So continuing on in verses 38 Jesus says for I have come down from heaven not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me This is the will of the father who sent me That all he has given me I should lose nothing But should raise it up in the last day. Where's the doctrines of grace in that verse? No one Yes, certain people that he's chosen What else? Yes, they He's going to he's not gonna lose a one. He's gonna raise them up in the last day. They will persevere Verse 40 and this is the will of him who sent me that everyone who sees the son and believes in him May have everlasting life and I'll raise him up in the last day Then the jew then the jews complained about him because he said i'm the bread of life who came down from heaven They said is this not jesus the son of Joseph whose father and mother we know you remember where they're at they're in around the sea of galley. This is jesus his own hometown area How is it then that he says I've come down from heaven And the lord rebukes them in verse 43 and how does he rebuke them? But with the doctrines of grace Jesus therefore answered and said to them do not murmur among yourselves No one can come to me unless the father who sent me Draws him and I will raise him up in the last day Where are the doctrines of grace there? That's right. They they need Monergistic regeneration they need to be born again. That's right It has to be a work of the father drawing them and the drawing them is a word there that Some people who are many and tried to describe this drawing as if It was something that attracts you like oh wow look at that that's so beautiful And i'm drawn to it like you know the moth to the flame or the Mosquito to that blue light that zaps them. I'm drawn to the light, you know And that's not the word the right meaning to the word here The the word is described for in many places in new testament sometimes as dragging a fishnet As sometimes dragged being dragged before court That it's the idea that the lord comes and takes his elect and brings them saves them brings them home We also see the perseverance of the saints that he will raise them up in the last day In verse 45 it's written in the prophets that they shall be taught by god Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the father comes to me What where do we see the doctrines of grace here? In verse 45 Sergio That's right Everyone who has heard and learned from the father Comes To him and he goes on to say That not everyone who has seen the father except he was from god He has seen the father We know that to be jesus right most assuredly i say to you he who believes in me has everlasting life I am the bread of life You notice while jesus preaches about the doctrines of grace Where does he put the responsibility? on them That's right. He's preaching about how you need a savior. You need to be born again But he presses upon them And convicts them and rebukes them For their wickedness For their refusal to come to him He says in verse 50 this is the bread which comes down from heaven that one may eat of it and not die I am the living bread which came down from heaven if anyone eats of this bread and he points to himself If anyone eats of this bread he will live forever and the bread that i give is my flesh Which i will give for the life of the world Here this is a specific giving it's again. It's not a potential giving But he actually he gives his life for the world And the the world would be like the way that is A representative for mankind a representative. I'm sorry for for all those in mankind We also see the perseverance of the saints that he will live forever in this verse the one who has eternal life The jews therefore quarrel among themselves How can this man give us his flesh to eat? They they are offended They're offended at the idea many times when You're evangelizing Somebody who the person who's hearing you Has so many misunderstandings Um because of their sin that if you were to spend all day they're talking to them those misunderstandings would never go away They would still be offended at the end.  Some of you spent all day talking to people apparently And they go away Miss completely misrepresenting you Saying this person says this crazy idea I remember jimmy and i were evangelizing somebody after a service before and then Of one of the ladies in church talked with them and they they said Um those guys were teaching that you could lose your salvation And they came and the person came to us to hear about the conversation afterwards And it couldn't be anything further from the truth. We tried to repeatedly make that clear You cannot lose your salvation in this particular evangelism conversation But the the point is that's what's happening here The people here are completely misrepresenting jesus Because of the total depravity they don't understand Because they're there for the wrong reason They want to use jesus They don't understand what he's talking about But by god's grace some of the people in that crowd do Some of those people who are his own Some of those people who know that they need the bread of life And that they're there not just for a meal but to be saved Not just to live for an afternoon off some food but to live forever Yes, they're there for dinner in the show Now jesus says them in verse 53 most assuredly i say to you unless you eat the flesh of the son of man and drink his blood You have no life in you Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life and i will raise him up in the last day There's the perseverance of the saints The person here jesus is speaking in pictorial language about the person who depends on the work that christ has done on the cross The person who admits that everything they've done has been corrupted Will see they need a savior Do you remember the story of the leper who comes to jesus? in mark one And that leper you remember leprosy is a disease that will kill you it leprosy is a disease that destroys your nerve ending So that you begin to wear away your own body because you don't feel what you're rubbing up against what you're how you're cutting yourself how you're I'm destroying your own body and you begin to wear away your face the leprosy attacks your organs The leprosy makes you um your fingers and digits become stubs. It makes the features on your face Melt away so that you your form of your face looks that like a lion Like the way that your nose melts away and it makes a stench So that when a leper comes you You smell them you see them you hear them cry unclean unclean unclean And you remember in mark one when the leper comes to the lord He comes with humility having to feel the shame of those who of walking through the crowd and they the people gasping The people throwing stones Rabbis used to say I wouldn't eat I wouldn't buy an egg on the street that a leper walked Rabbis would pride themselves in throwing stones at lepers Not being near them and the leper in mark one comes to christ And christ reaches out and he touches him And it's a very intentional touching as if he puts two hands on his both his shoulders and the man who hasn't felt a human touch in and years And the leper falls before him on the ground and he says if you're willing you can make me clean And the lord says to him with that touch. He says i'm willing to be cleansed Do you see your total depravity? That you are a leper of the soul?   I got it covered What happens to that man? He dies He must admit he needs someone else to do the work He needs someone else and it is the same with the doctrines of grace. You must come to see i need god to save me I need his irresistible grace That's what christ is trying to describe these people here that they need to turn from their own self righteousness To depend on his flesh and blood that kind of humility that i need christ to pay for my sins He says in verse 55 from my flesh his food indeed and my blood is drinking need Oh, yes, the work of christ that christ has done Is the work that pleases god That's the work to pay for sins. That's what you need to cover your sin Verse 56 he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me and i and him as the living father sent me And i live because of the father so he feeds on me will live because of me This is the bread which came down from heaven not as your father is ate the manna and are dead He who eats this bread will live forever Now even the disciples found these things hard to hear Even many people who are christians find the doctrines of grace hard to hear And jesus says in verse 60 This is a hard hard sentence or the type will say this is a hard saying who can understand it and jesus knew in verse 61 In himself the disciples complained about this Does this offend you? Is this not fair? Is this hard to understand? He says in verse 63 It is the spirit who gives life the flesh profits nothing Do you see the irresistible grace in verse 63? It's the spirit who gives life The words that I speak to you are spirit and their life But there are some of you who do not believe jesus knew from the beginning Who they were who did not believe and again irresistible grace in verse 65 Therefore i've said to you that no one can come to me unless it has been granted to him by my father When god grants it Every sinner when god grants his grace that sinner will come to him. Yes, please Amen Yes So think with me now to close what are some applications of irresistible grace if you believe this What differences will it make in your life?  That's the application that jesus brings here with the disciples They feel the shame of the thousands of people leaving and they feel a shame to be there alone And and jesus explains to them why are you so shame? I'm we're speaking words of the spirit Trust in the lord and who's converted and who's not it is a work of the lord It should make you fervent and depend on him with a with a great strength Let's go ahead and move close Dear lord god, we thank you That you have made your grace irresistible to us We know that if you didn't take away our resistance our Opposition and our hatred for you we would have gone on resisting you forever Even in how lord And we thank you for your grace Please help us to live with a fervency and a holiness and a trust in you And a worship of you that you would receive all the glory Please receive all the glory from this doctrine in our lives. Amen


Big Ben's last game is on Monday, AJ. You played against Big Ben Rothesberger. What are your thoughts on how he's going out? I don't know. I mean, I understand trying to honor the dude. Yeah, I've known of Ben since he was in high school, played against him forever. My brother played with him in college, like played against him many times, played against him in the Super Bowl. So, yeah, I've seen him in his magic up close and personal. I think Diggs is doing a good job online. I don't know if Nick's doing the same, like showing their love that they have for Ben and everything he's done for that whole organization. Yeah, I think they're at the stage where it's like four or five years removed already. You know, at most fan bases, whenever somebody leaves and then time kind of heals all wounds. And I'm not saying there's any wounds with the Jinsers in Ben Rothesberger. But I think a lot of people were like, this should have happened, you know, because Jinsers have a high expectation for the Steelers. This team currently stinks. He's not playing anywhere near the level he used to play, which is not that long ago, which was very, very, very high. So I think like two years in, there's going to be a lot more appreciation for what Ben Rothesberger did for the Pittsburgh Steelers. Especially if they struggle at the quarterback position for the next two years. No.


In this video, we will be looking at the basics of designing a research poster. Generally, it is a good idea to plan out very roughly the layout of the entire poster before proceeding to further details. Use this process to figure out a location and amount of visual and textual elements. Considering the amount of competition your poster will face, it is important for you to attract and sustain your audience's attention. This will benefit greatly from innovative design and eye-catching title. Think of it as a newspaper headline. The research poster should be easy to read, with the title clearly legible from 10 feet away. The components should flow logically, usually from the top left to bottom right. This can be facilitated by arrows and or numbers. Be sure to leave plenty of negative space for the eyes to rest. Diversify the shapes for the poster to look more dynamic and interesting. Exclude any superfluous elements. The text should be legible from at least 5 feet away. It should be no smaller than size 18 font. Use a combination of lower and uppercase letters for easy reading. Use text sparingly and accompanied by visual elements. Remember to focus on the visual elements and keep the text thorough yet brief. Use succinct sentences to grab the audience's attention rather than relying on paragraphs. Do not use more than two fonts. Times New Roman or Aerial are the most easy to read. When using color, differentiate between background and foreground by using contrasting colors, such as soft pastel tones against bright or dark tones. Use cool and neutral tones for the less important features. Be sure to use colors sparingly only to emphasize and differentiate. Keep equations to a minimum. Only present the necessary ones. Use appropriate graphs and make sure they are legible. Be sure to label all drawings and diagrams. It is a good idea to include a large and eye-catching central feature in a poster. I remember to keep it simple and consistent. Thank you for watching.


Hello everyone and welcome to Blackstar Potential. My name is Lee Fuge and in this video today, we're gonna be looking at how to dial in a blues tone using the Amped 2. So the whole idea here is we're going for a cranked amp sound to replicate all those classic touch sensitive blues tones. You can use this tone as a great jumping off point. If you're dialing in your own blues tones, you can use this and then tweak it to suit your own needs. All the tones you hear in this video are coming from the Amped 2 which is running straight into my audio interface out of the capric output. And the guitar I'm using is this Chapman Guitars ML3 Pro X. Throughout this whole video, you're gonna be hearing the spring reverb of the Amped 2 switched on at all times. A lot of vintage amps with built-in reverb would have had a real spring reverb because really what we're going for here is a 50s and 60s cranked amp sound. So that's gonna be on at all times. So the amplifier sound that we're using for this uses the 6x6 response. So we've got a very American sound here. We've got a scooped mid range with a really tight low end and some pronounced highs and the USA voice. Now to replicate a cranked amp because this is still quite a clean sound. I've got the gain and the master completely dimmed. So this is really as if we're running the amp on full. For the bass at about one o'clock, the mid on about two o'clock and the treble around midnight. Now obviously you can change that EQ slightly to suit your own tastes, but this is a pretty good starting point. So the amp sound on its own will react differently to how I play and what pickups I choose. So if I go in with my bridge humbucker, I'm gonna get a bit more crunch and then when I go to my next single coil, I'm gonna get a much cleaner sound. So with the amp circuit set this way, we have a very touch sensitive and dynamic sound to start with. If I dig in, I get some of those 60s British blues type sounds. And then as I go softer, I venture more into traditional blues. So once you've got a great basic cranked amp tone dial in, you can then add some drive to take your leads to that next level. So I'm using the overdrive setting here with everything set to around about 11 o'clock.  So the drive not only gives you a lift, which is great for guitar solos, but it also shapes the amp tone slightly because we're using a vintage overdrive here that's quite mid-pushed. What it actually does is it shaves off some of the low end from the amp circuit. So in this cranked setup, the amp circuit starts to break up in the low end like a real cranked small combo would. We almost get this fuzzy low end. If you turn the drive on, it removes that. Now you can set the drive level to taste there. I like a little bit more drive because a lot of my favorite blues-based players are from the 60s British scene. But if you really want to go traditional, you can really bring that drive down or even use the boost circuit. You can also use a tremolo sound. Now a lot of vintage amps have tremolo built in and this is really great for some rhythm stuff. So I've got the time set halfway, but again, you can set this to taste. The depth is very, very low because I don't want a really big, obvious tremolo sound and the level is just blended into taste. The tremolo sits really nice with the boosted lead tones as well. Then I'm also using a analog delay which is set very, very short like this. Pretty much one repeat there. So a low time, which means the time is very fast, a low feedback and the level just blended into taste. This kind of slapback is great if you're playing some kind of more rock and roll style bluesy legs. But you can also combine that with some drive and that's great for some slow blues. So there you go, there are some tips on how to dial in a great blues tone with your Blackstar Amped II. You can use that as a starting point to create your own blues sounds. Tweak that and let me know what you guys come up with down below in the comments.

How is it possible that corporations like Netflix and Amazon paid no taxes? It's easy It's it's part of the tax system. You could sleepywaves the the Western world Right Canada in the United States. I can speak for Canada United States. Canada United States was not made for individuals right to be successful if you for 30 years to friends and family I've been talking with them and stating the following fact If you want to be successful if you want to be Financially independent you must invest your money now you have two places that you can invest your money you can Invest your money in other corporations Right and that includes Wall Street privately this that everything else or you can try to learn a system and Start your own business, right? And if you're working and if you're doing this you're doing this Slowly right hopefully you have a job where you have money coming in right and what you can do when your money coming in You're in a certain tax bracket start a project start Delving into some type of system right that you want to incorporate into your life It could be anything right that you want to spend some time in and try to roll that into Something that generates money when you do that you reduce your tax bracket to a level that you pay less taxes with Amazon Netflix, that's exactly what they do as a corporation They have a certain amount of income they start die Investing in different types of system that you can do as an individual Bring down yourself to a level where you don't pay taxes. That's what the system was made for Right, they asked former Canadian finance minister saying why does he have a shipping company that's And he was a prime minister. He was a finance minister and then became a prime minister Martin, right? He had a shipping company his family at a shipping company was registered outside of Canada He said look because that way we don't pay taxes our system is set up this way every Canadian should learn our tax system how our How our economic system works and use it to their advantage? That's why right It's no people were freaked out about this is no it's the tax It's the same tax system that Joe blow working You know ten hours a day five days a week and they they get home They're too tired to even try to Imagine them getting involved in some type of system where you can invest some money in it You know if you even if even if it's their hobby don't have the energy to put any money in In that a hobby let alone their families, right? They're too exhausted. They work Week to week every second week They had a little paycheck coming in and they're only two weeks ahead before they go bankrupt, right? They don't have the energy to do this. That's what the system is designed for right to keep the masses enslaved as wage earners, right that pay the tons of taxes and Make sure they don't have enough funds or energy or the ability or the knowledge Right to be able to learn how this economic system works and use it to their advantage to bring their whole family out of poverty That's the system, right? The system was completely corrupt to the core and for the benefit of those who have already made it It's a monopolistic system. They close the doors behind right like really Forget about Netflix, Amazon not paying tag. Why are they paying taxes because the system was written by this court by these corporations Look into how money laundering goes through banking system and through art, right? Look at where money comes from.  If you're chasing the carrot that they're dangling you become a Slave just don't chase their carrot Find something you're interested in me Comic books me mathematics me live streaming Right me. I love cooking eating healthy staying healthy doing some exercise reading books Get into things that Give you freedom educate you to a level where you're not a slave, right? Really


Hi, and welcome back to the Rekana 2.0 launch. We're using a digital medium, the cube to launch a digital company, Rekana's new product. I'm here with Omer Triman, CEO of Rekana, Omer. Great to be here, this is exciting. And I'm Peter Burris, and I'm the Chief Research Officer of SiliconANGLE Wikibon. And what we're doing is we're talking about the business problems of digital business, specifically how data and operations are going to evolve and how companies like Rekana are providing tooling that makes that possible. So let's dig a little bit more into this notion of business value, where we're eventually going to get to understanding how what companies can do, almost in sequence, to start to retool their operations from the IT or the data up. So let's start here, because we were talking in between the break. At the end of the day, one of the reasons why we're driving this digital business notion is not because the technology is cool or because the Harvard Business Review writes about it, we're driving it because customers want digital engagement. Customers want to be able to buy things on their phones. They want to be able to take their phones and their information into stores and to retail outlets. They want digital engagement because it puts them more in charge. Absolutely, and customers not only want digital engagement for the sake of digital inconvenience, they want it because it helps them identify, and marketers want it, it helps them identify with the business as a single unit. You go shopping or you interact as a business with another organization, that's one business.  You expect a uniform interaction when something goes wrong and you kind of peel back the layers of the onion. You being a customer in this. Right, right. Sorry, something goes wrong for you as a customer and if you look under the cover and see what's actually happening, you find dozens of organizations all scrambling. It's a fire drill every time I click reload and the page doesn't refresh. I go to checkout and the shopping cart doesn't work. I try to make a delivery and it gets routed, the truck gets routed to the wrong location. Under the covers you have a bunch of different folks in operations, now largely IT operations because everything's digital, and they're scrambling, right? What happened, where did it happen? Who has the data? Who kept track of whose fault was it? Lots of finger pointing. That's the state of the world today. Well, and they're still scrambling the business. As we said in the previous section, they're saying giddy up, giddy up. The business people are saying I need it now. I need it now. I have a customer that requires response as the IT organization is scrambling. So let's tie that back to the role that data is playing within operations. How do you foresee data as an asset evolving within business and therefore having an impact on how IT optimization of IT and the makeup of IT is likely to evolve? So we think of this as a crawl walk run, right? And people are actually taking advantage of data today. It's in pockets, the digital natives, right, that sort of Google, Facebook, Amazon of the world, they do this very well. Most companies are just starting to learn how to do it. And what they're realizing is that data can help them understand how the business is operating. If you take those 40 different silos within IT and they're all just step one, look at the same data, right? Let's have an operational view of what happened end to end so we can all play from the same playbook, right? Then we can solve the problems faster. We reduce the firefights. We can start introducing automation when we see together the same problems over and over again. We can start introducing ways that will reduce the burden from manually stitching together and running these systems. So the crawl is, let's just get the IT house in order and data is the key to that, right? In fact, lack of data is what's caused it. So let's talk about the things that have to happen from that crawl standpoint. One is you have to be able to put the appropriate instrumentation inside applications and inside some of these systems, right? You do, and what's interesting is that most of it's there. If you do a survey across an organization, people have over the past decade or so been educated to instrumenting, to logging, right? The systems do it today. All the gear you buy from vendors does it. You know, this whole DevOps movement is largely educating developers at a minimum, log something, ideally generate metrics, right? Tell the other parts of the system what's going on so I don't have to go back and do, you know, Java bytecode instrumentation to understand what's happening which is build it in first class and you have the tooling that can take older applications and start extracting what's happening. So the data is actually getting generated but then it falls on the floor. Right, so now we need a warehouse where we can put the data and we have some understanding of how that data is structured. Exactly, we think of it as the central nervous system, right? It actually ties everything together. We talked about this in the first segment is if you like the body analogy, right? If you had separate parts of the body, each kind of reacting immediately to their own local sensory input, you would not be able to crawl. You'd not be able to walk and run, of course, right? So once you have a central nervous system, you can actually do coordinated steps and when you have that data in real time as we introduced with Reconna 2.0, you can actually change the nature of the business. You have a first responder experience so you can look at what just happened and what happened elsewhere in the organization and you can start introducing some of these agile IT technologies, the PAS systems like Cloud Foundry, like private clouds like OpenStack and public clouds to allow the business to move fast. So I want to come back to this notion of first responder system, but the third thing I think we need to do is let me run something by you. Many years ago, because I've been working with large IT organizations providing consulting and advisory services for a long time now and I'd sit in a meeting with a group of people and if there was a problem, you could almost predict that the problem was caused by the individual who said, well, yeah, I just made a change, but it couldn't possibly be my system that caused the problem. It's like, oh, that's the guy, that's the guy that messed up or that's the guy that messed us all up. So I think the third thing is that we need to utilize the inspiration, bring the data into a place where we actually can have visibility on it, but thirdly, we have to get the IT organization to themselves be data driven, which is not necessarily an easy thing in a world where finger pointing is the routine and everybody's trying to protect themselves. Talk about that a little bit. So the state of the world is actually slightly more complex. It's not often the last change. It's that change was a response to another change, was a response to another change, a response to the original change that actually caused the problem, which may have been months ago. And so unless IT starts saying, okay, we want to look at what were all the things that happened along the way? What's the data evidence tell us? Security, I think, is starting to get this and operations kind of falling suit behind them. What's the trail of evidence in the form of data and events that's leading us to, oh yeah, this is where it started. This is the cascade, right? It's almost like, and Eric might talk about this later, it's like a crime map, right? There was an incident, you're doing forensics. And so we've basically captured that experience in software in a way that you can do it at scale, Fortune 100 global scale, multi data center, multi cloud as a drop in product, right? And so yes, there are still requirements to help IT understand how to use the data. We believe step one is don't assume IT is full of data scientists waiting for stuff to analyze. They've got jobs to do right now. Introduce tooling that makes it obvious to them what's actually going on. That's been the founding philosophy behind everything we build at Rokana. So give them what they need to be data driven. Don't ask them to learn the mechanics of data driven. Right, they don't have the time. They've got, you know. So now we're crawling. Now we're crawling. So let's talk about walk. Once we've got, we're taking advantage of the instrumentation, we got the data, and we've got tooling for people so that they can change the behavior. Now we want to walk. What's the next set of things we need to do? What we see happening next is once IT starts to realize that data is actually the underlying sort of source that is illuminating what actually happened. They now have access to more, the machines are doing a lot more, the number crunching for them. They start thinking about how do we introduce some of our expertise and logic into the system? If we've got that one guy we always call to solve this one problem, if we can capture how that person goes about solving that problem and start introducing it from an automation fashion, that actually is gonna free us up to start doing what we really want to start doing is looking at where this data is telling us the business is going. Start doing more planning, start anticipating more. So now we're building new capabilities into the system and we need to run. Exactly. Running, which may sound a little futuristic, I think certainly in the Fortune 500. For the bulk of companies. But there are certainly some companies that are doing it today. Absolutely. Running is where we see IT taking the data, right? And remember, there's a handful of events that are the transaction. There's maybe one or two order of magnitude more that is sort of the user behavior around it. And then there's thousands or tens of thousands of events that are actually happening within the system. IT is sitting on a treasure trove of data. They know what's happening to the business before the business knows what's happening to the business, before the customer knows what's happening. And so getting- Well it can know what's happening to the business before the business knows what's happening to the business. Yes, they have the potential. The data is there. It's the potential. So taking that and being able to say, we see that, let me to give a really concrete and possibly incredibly boring example that's very impactful, right? We see that point of sale systems have this kind of error rate, this kind of transaction rate. The crawl is, let's just make sure that we resolve point of sale system issues before the store calls us up and says we're out of service, right? The walk is, let's make sure that we optimize the process so that we're doing the updates at low peak times, we're doing them at night. We've given ourselves enough runway. We actually avoid the problems to begin with. IT is more efficient. The run is when I look at the flow of data from a particular store and I compare it to what was happening a week ago, a month ago, a year ago and to what's happening in the other stores and I see three cash registers online instead of the typical four and the dollar volume in that store is down, right? And it's not an operational issue. Then the business is losing money because someone called in sick because the cash register isn't open. That's a revenue opportunity right there and you can start extending that to the mobile experience, the web experience. IT has access to all of that data and they see it as it's happening. And not only does it take revenue offline right now, it also agitates a customer which means it takes revenue offline in the future. Exactly. Okay, so we have now talked about the business problems here at the Reconna 2.0 launch. I'm speaking with Omer Triman and next we're gonna bring up Eric Sammers to talk about how the underlying technology of many of the things that we're talking about are gonna work. So you're on the cube, stay with us for a few minutes and let's get into some of the technologies that are gonna make this vision real.


don't care. I actually care a lot because we're going trucking. I'm very excited. Going back up to Kanora, gonna grab another load. It's gonna be ready for us in the morning.  Another one and then I have a load lined up in Fargo that's taking me home. So tell me, tell me. Whisper it in my ear. Don't look in my ear. Apparently I have hairy ears. Whisper it to me. Are you excited? It's a new day. It's a new one. Look at the sun is in the sky. It's still burning. It hasn't burnt out yet. That is good news. That is good news. We're here at Casey's in Pilleger, Minnesota. Just down the road from Brainerd. I stayed here for tonight. Didn't have a reload but now that I'm headed up to Kanora, I kind of wish I knew that yesterday because I would have been in Kanora right now. I would have gone straight back and been there last night yet but we didn't know. There might have been something in Fargo for today or tomorrow. There might have been something better paying. I think they had something lined up but it wasn't working out. They weren't too sure so I just stayed here near Brainerd for night. It turns out the load did work out that they wanted.  So we're gonna go back and do another quick run here. Kanora to Brainerd. This seems to be a regular road for me nowadays and I'm not complaining actually. If we do it right, do it right. I can do one per day. I can load in the morning in Kanora, run down to Brainerd, unload and then run back to Kanora the same day and then reload the next day. Technically if we had these loads every day, I could be boom boom boom boom back and forth five loads a week Monday to Friday right? Well but then I wouldn't be home on Friday. I'd be actually yeah. Because from here I'd unload Friday and then I just go home instead of going back to Kanora. Five loads.  How many is that five? Bang bang. Just two bangs mean one bang bang. There's one there and back. There and back there and back five times. Okay I get this right. Start in Kanora. Brainerd Kanora. Brainerd Kanora. Brainerd Kanora. Brainerd Kanora. Brainerd home. That would be a good week if we could line that up. I just don't know if there's regular and it would have to be going to the location that unloads until 10 p.m. It's very difficult. There's two locations here that we can deliver to. One location closes at 5 p.m. One location closes at 10 p.m. The 10 p.m. one's great. You can get down here, get unloaded, get back. But the 5 p.m. one if anything goes wrong and you don't get loaded first thing in the morning up in Kanora. There's any delays whatsoever. You can't make it for the 5 p.m. And then you're stuck down here. And then it messes up your five load week. I would get bored of that though I think. I think I'd get bored of that. I like things to change up every now and then. I like getting familiar with a route like this. I like doing the same thing again and again. Just you get familiar with it. You know where all the stops are. And I like to do something else for a while.  That's why I bought this truck. I need to see places. I need to go places, explore. I want to see the world around me even if it is in my region. I want to see different places all the time. So I don't know. I'm happy. I'm happy. I'm not complaining at all. I'm happy with everything that's going on. Who knows what we're picking up in Fargo? Whatever it is, it's going to be fun. And I know that let's get going. Let's get going. It's time to have some fun. Let's get on the road. It really feels like it's taking forever for me to get ready this morning. But at least I'm not in a rush. Tomorrow will be a little bit more of a rush. But today we can sort of relax, take it easy. You guys ready? Just waiting for my ear to fill up there. Just double check that we saw our trailer is attached. I can still hear that the air is filling up. You can usually hear if you have an air leak or if the air is still filling in your trailer. If I listen to this red thing here, if you hear an air hissing sound coming from here, it could be the valve behind here as well. But it's most likely that the air is running to the trailer or it's running out of the trailer somewhere. The RV Club of Minnesota here today. There's some nice, nice fifth wheels there. Britt and I would love to have a fifth wheel to might actually use it more. We have our travel trailer. But I bought that myself right before I met Britt or right as I met Britt. And at that time, I didn't know where our relationship was going. I just met her. And I hadn't had much luck in previous relationships. So, you know, I bought the camper and sort of just said to myself, well, I'm just gonna buy something that works for me. And we'll see what happens. Turns out I fell in love and stuff and got married, trying to bring kids into this world. And now we need something bigger if we want to use it. Or we would like something bigger. That person stopped there, they didn't have to. But I guess they're trying to be nice. So I'll take it.  Take a moment to look at that lawn. Wow. Now that is impressive. Hashtag impressed. It takes quite a bit to get that certification from Trevor Josh himself. Hashtag impressed. Look at it. Can you see through the window there? Five stars for that lawn. Five stars. I should have gone. I should have gone I was too distracted by that beautiful lawn. Shoot. Okay. Oh, now there's nonstop traffic. Of course there is. This is almost as bad as that intersection back home that I was telling you about suicide intersection. See here these guys are coming around here 60 or 50, 55, 60 mile an hour. I can't see them till they're around that bend there. But it's not as bad because I can see traffic coming from this way. The leveling valve on this trailer yesterday. After I unloaded the lumber, the trailer obviously lifts up because there's less weight on the trailer and the air pressure in the airbags causes the trailer to lift up, right? But there's a leveling valve underneath there that would normally release air in the bags and release pressure so that the trailer goes back down to its normal ride height. Well, for some reason this trailer didn't want to return to his normal ride height and the bags were just like pushed all the way up. And I had to sit there fiddling with it for a while. I got it fixed. But you'll see under here, the leveling valve is on the rear axle. Pardon me. Right there. You see that? Bowling down and for some reason, it was hissing out air like it wanted to, like it was releasing air pressure but the air pressure was coming from my compression tanks on the truck. So I was just losing air pressure. That's my first sign. When you hear when you see your air pressure going down, there's air escaping somewhere, right? And it happened to be from this valve here. So it was releasing air out of these out of my tanks instead of these airbags. The valve was sticking. So not too sure what was the actual problem, but I disconnected the air leveler, moved it up and down a few times, tried to dump the air out of the suspension with this valve up front here on the other side. Under here, see it's up right now. I put it to dump the air and it wouldn't dump the air. So I wasn't getting too frustrated. I mean, it's not my trailer. But at the same time, I don't want to spend a whole day waiting for someone to be able to look at it, you know, at a shop, local shop or something. So I wanted to fix it. It seemed like a pretty simple, simple fix. And it was eventually, I tried to figure out where the air was being blocked and which valve wasn't working. I worked on that valve for a little bit to get it moving again. And eventually, it worked. I got that valve to turn over. And it's been working great ever since. So I don't know, it looks, it doesn't look old. For some reason, it must have just slightly seized up a little bit. It's not cold. But ever since then, it's been working just fine. Air dumps out of the suspension just fine now lifts back up to where it's supposed to be. I reconnected the leveling valve to where it's supposed to be where it was when I found it. Problem solved. I don't really know what it was. I know which valve it is. But I don't know why it would suddenly stop working on a nice warm summer day. If it was wintertime, I'd be like, well, yeah, it's frozen. Shoot some airline antifreeze through there and bada bing, bada boom, you're set. But I didn't even bother with that now because I'm I know what's not frozen. Maybe it just looks new, because it looks like it's new. This this trailer just got safety. That's why I grabbed it. It's not my favorite type of trailer that we have. It's a little bit of a lower deck than our other step decks. And the winches aren't as good. It's a bit of an older trailer. It's got a weaker rub rail. But it was the only one that was like all the good ones were taken already when I got there. So I grabbed this one because it just had a fresh safety done to it. I checked out the sticker. Oh, this is brand new. You could tell the sticker was just put on there. So I knew the trailer would have just been looked over, right? And it looks like the valve was new. But for some reason, it was sticking. Maybe it was sticking because it was new. Maybe it's just a new part needed to be worn in a little bit. Working now. That's my story. The way I got the valve to start working was I, I pressurized it, I sent pressure to it. And then I released all the air up front here. But the air wouldn't release out of the bags, right? So I did that again, and again, and again, trying to push the valve over. And where the air hisses out, there's a little tube at the bottom there, and the air hisses out of there, right? And there's coming from my tanks up here. I would just put my thumb over it for a second and then release it put my thumb over for a second just to build up that back pressure. So wherever this valve was sticking, you'd have a little bit of back pressure. Does that make sense? Then it worked. That's all it took. Just stop the air from hissing out for a second, release it, let it hiss out, stop it again. And I did that maybe like five times. And then suddenly I heard the valve go clink. And then everything was fine. But it looks like it's brand new. So I'll make a note of it and keep on trucking. Coming up to the border here, not across at International Falls, Minnesota into Fort Francis, Ontario. You need to pay a $16 US total. That says no left turn when there's traffic backed up. Well, I don't see any traffic back up here. So yeah, they charge you to leave the US. I guess it's kind of a compliment.  They're like, well, we want you to stay. So if you want to go, you're gonna have to pay. Or maybe it's Canada saying we really don't want you back. We're gonna charge you $16 if you do. I don't know one way or the other. You got to pay gold. Which they wouldn't do this. I hate that there's a cash only they don't accept cards or anything just cash on. It's at this little booth here. And I'll see you guys on the other side. Okay. For Francis, you and your construction. I don't know how I'm supposed to go go west from Fort Francis. I'm trying to get to Highway 11. And you get right out of the border. The usual road you take to get onto this road is closed. I figured it out. A little bit confusing. The third time I've done this is like in the last two weeks. And it still confuses me. I think next time I'll have a better idea of how I'm gonna get out of town. This road, this intersection comes up here. Turn right on Trans Canada Highway Highway 11 and then turn left in 190 meters. Like we usually go straight through. I'd come from the left. That's where the border is. And I'd go straight through this road here to the right. And that will take me up to 11 and around. But now that they have this road closed here. I came up here and I was like, well, I'll just make a left turn. I don't know if you can see it on the light standard off to the right there. It says no left turns. So I was forced to make a right turn going try to figure out how to turn around. I don't know how we're supposed to navigate this. There's no detour signs anywhere. Saying, hey, west bound trucks, follow this route. Oh, you're sort of got to figure it out on your own.  It's a little bit confusing, but you'll be okay. All right. 100 meters turn left on Trans Canada Highway Highway 11. It's a friendly town up here. You'll be okay. Five veterans drive with at 7am or apparently it opens a little earlier. Maybe I'll see if I can get it to open at quarter to seven. That's what everyone else seems to do. I don't know you go to the gate, you push a button and you wait for them to open it. It says it only opens at 7am, but every time I've been here so far, I've seen trucks sneak in there at like 645. We'll get we'll get loaded in the morning. Same run again down to Brainerd. Same thing. We'll unload tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow evening down in Brainerd. And then like I've been telling you, we're gonna book it over to Fargo North Dakota.  Thanks for hanging out everybody. We'll see you tomorrow. I hope you enjoyed it.

Mountain Comprehensive Care Center have made great strides in combating those issues, and today opened a brand new facility unlike any other in the region. A transitional housing facility for those who need it. There's such a need for housing in our community, our clients and also the community folks. Housing is at such a premium here. Shortage of housing. Even the folks who are living at the Mountain Center, who are residential substance abuse program, when they leave the program there, this would be a place for them to live and transition from here into permanent housing. That's the reason why we wanted to build this facility. Dogwood Apartments has 18 fully furnished one bedroom units and two two bedroom units, which are all available to those with low income who are homeless and who have special needs. The special needs definition is wide. It can be mental illness, it can be physical disability. It can be chronic substance abuse. And with that they need to be seeking treatment though. Also elderly and domestic violence victims. So we have emotional abuse. There's a wide definition for the special needs. Applicants for Dogwood Apartments must first apply with Section 8 Housing and then through Mountain Comprehensive Care Center. Reporting from Prestonsburg, I'm Shawn Allen for EKB News. Thank you.


Hello and welcome to the session. In this session we discussed the following question which says show that 2 into cos inverse y is equal to cos inverse of 2y square minus 1. Before we move on to the solution let's recall one identity which says that cos 2 theta is equal to 2 cos square theta minus 1. This is the key idea that we use for this question. Now we move on to the solution. We have to show that 2 cos inverse y is equal to cos inverse of 2y square minus 1. First of all we take let y be equal to cos theta. Now let's consider the RHS first. We have the RHS is equal to cos inverse of 2y square minus 1. Now putting the value for y as cos theta we get this is equal to cos inverse of 2 cos square theta minus 1. Now from the key idea as you can see we have an identity that is cos 2 theta is equal to 2 cos square theta minus 1. And so this is equal to cos inverse of cos 2 theta as 2 cos square theta minus 1 is cos 2 theta. And cos inverse of cos 2 theta would be equal to 2 theta. Now when we take y is equal to cos theta this would mean that theta is equal to cos inverse y. So putting the value for this theta here that is in 2 theta we get this would be equal to 2 into cos inverse y. Which is the same as the LHS as we get the RHS is equal to the LHS and we were supposed to prove this. So hence proved this completes the session. Hope you have understood the solution of this question.


The word narcissist typically brings to mind someone who loudly brags about themselves and craves attention. But did you know that there's another kind of narcissist who's just as manipulative and arrogant, but harder to spot? They're called covert narcissists. Unlike the more obvious and grandiose type of narcissist who flaunts their ego openly, covert narcissists do it in a subtle and sneaky way. They hide their self-absorption and superiority complex behind a facade of humility, shyness, or even victimhood. So we created a video to help you identify covert narcissistic behaviors, so you can be more aware and handle them better. Now let's delve into some of the things that covert narcissists always do. The thinnest skin of all. How do you respond when someone criticizes you? You may feel hurt, rejected, and embarrassed, and that's okay. There's nothing wrong in feeling that way, and sometimes the negative feedback isn't true at all and is purposefully delivered to shatter your sense of self-worth. However, there is something amiss when you're extremely sensitive to criticism. According to psychiatrist Glenn Gabbard, in comparison with their grandiose counterparts, covert narcissists tend to possess the thinnest skin and are super sensitive. They are easily triggered and feel offended whenever they receive real or perceived criticism. Criticism pushes covert narcissists to either be defensive with a growing sentiment of quiet superiority or withdrawal with sulkiness. They believe they are perfect and cannot understand that someone does not view them in the same light. Covert narcissists truly feel that they are the center of the universe, and they conceal how affected they are by negative feedback by not showing it as much as an extroverted narcissist. Silent smugness. Research published in the American Journal of Psychiatry explains that grandiose narcissists are easier to spot than covert narcissists due to their obvious boasting and attention-seeking behaviors. Covert narcissists display more subtle superiority as they are inclined to scrutinize and judge their environment silently while listening disinterestedly with no meaningful contribution to the conversation. When you're around them, you feel they're acting aloof rather than brazenly showing their negativity. They prefer to avoid situations that may threaten their sense of superiority. Impolite gestures.  Licensed marriage and family therapist Darlene Lancer says this is a typical behavior displayed by covert narcissists as they are taking delight in discreetly evaluating and judging other people. Besides that, these are also often manifested outwardly with eye-rolling when they want to discard people's opinions, frequently sighing and feeling irritated and groaning to convey their disapproval. Fish out sympathy. Psychologist Dr. Susan Albers explains that covert narcissists often voice their negative self-talk to fish for sympathy from people. They may say, Psy, I look old. But in reality, they want others to come to their rescue and shower them with statements to negate their self-deprecation. By downplaying their strength, the covert narcissist has found a sneaky way to make others compliment them so that they feel good about themselves. They are most likely unaware that the underlying reason they're behaving like this is because of their need for positive attention. Passive-aggressive behavior. So you get a feeling that your friend is mad at you. When asked, what's the matter, he scowls and answers, I'm fine. But you know there's clearly something wrong because he continues to act coldly towards you. Licensed clinical psychologist Dr. Matthew Boland notes that covert narcissists typically act passive-aggressively when frustrated to demonstrate their superiority. They can give you this silent treatment, mock you but disguise it as a joke or shift the blame to make you feel bad. These behaviors are rooted in their belief that they are special, making them feel that they deserve to get whatever their hearts desire. Self-serving empathy. What do you feel when your friend starts crying and tells you she just got fired? Can you put yourself in her shoes and understand why she would feel sad and disappointed?  The first reaction shows that you have cognitive empathy, while the second one demonstrates that you possess emotional empathy. In a study, researcher Ranislav Rogosa and colleagues concluded that covert narcissists can empathize with other people but with the underlying motivation to get the approval of others. In other words, they have cognitive empathy and understand what other people are feeling and thinking, but they're unable to develop emotional empathy. On the surface, people with covert narcissism may seem to be compassionate and generous, but on a deeper level, their kind behavior is self-serving. As they do it to be seen as the good guy and praised by the people around them. If these behaviors are not admired, the covert narcissists will be resentful. No matter what type of narcissist you have met in your life, overt or covert, close and frequent interactions with them may leave you feeling weary and demoralized. So if you suspect that you have a covert narcissist in your life, it's a good idea to seek professional support where you can learn more about the disorder and start your healing journey.

And now to election matters. A few days to the general elections, youths in those states say they are ready to occupy the political space of the country. Speaking to journalists at the rally in Benin City, the state capitol, they say they are convinced that was the move to rescue the people from poor governance, the people have resolved to act swiftly during the forthcoming elections. Now, I'm very much happy because the youth are not very much aware of their political empowerment. Before they were not, that is why I have this goodness standing before you today just being in one mind and in the voice of the youth that we are not alive in our political environment. We are now very much aware of our environment and what we have to do is to make sure we give back to the society what they are giving to us. It's going to be relaxed for me and for them. It's going to be, it's going to be, it's going to be relaxed and that we can go for it. I want to say that we are going to be happy for 70% of the people. It's a man of capacity, humility and honesty. And that's what it's going to be about. We have the youth and the youth. We can create a group of youth in terms of development. We need the energy of the youth to be able to view the wisdom of the elder. To guide the youth to view and the youth should be able to improve from the experience and good experience of the elder. Thank you very much.


TESL – Teaching English as a Second Language TESL is a term commonly used in the United States, Australia and Canada to describe the act of teaching English to non-native speakers in countries where English is the official language. It is also used to refer to the same teaching situation in areas where English is commonly spoken but not necessarily the official language. This type of teaching situation is often centered on migrants and refugees who need to learn the English language as a means of integrating into their new environment. To service the section of the English language industry, there are numerous government and charity-based programs available in many English-speaking countries. For example, the United States has many programs available to the large number of migrant workers who come to the country from Mexico and other Latin American countries.
