because Jesus said greater works that than I have done here think about it now I've read through Matthew Mark Luke John in the book of Acts and there's some great stuff in there but he said greater God's not limited to what's recorded in the Bible they couldn't even record all the things that Jesus did John 14 12 very truly I tell you whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing and they will do even greater things than these this is a promise that God made us that you will do the things that I did and greater cause I did more work than the Son of God I think ever since I was a little boy maybe ever since that you guys were a little also everybody's always wanted to be something special or another way of putting it something greater than what you really are right when you were when you were little you looked up to somebody that was bigger because he was greater than you or she was greater than you when you were in fourth grade you might have looked up to the fifth graders or the sixth graders when you're in junior high you look up to the high school is when you were freshmen you might have looked up to the seniors because that was something that was greater in your mind right it's always been that way now when we look at this passage and we're gonna look at the passage that they derived this idea from where some will take it that you could do or be I say do do greater works than Jesus did just the sound of it does does the sound of it sound even right does it does it sound right to say that we'll be able to do greater things than Jesus not just what he does not just the things that Jesus has done but greater now I can say no that didn't sound right that doesn't even seem plausible makes no sense but then there's a passage that says greater he says that these things you do that I do you'll do and then greater and that just right it just it just kind of it it kind of boggles the mind and I think there's a certain class of preacher that would also say the same thing and my thing is even before we get to the to the to the greater what what about just the regular things that Jesus did not we're talking about doing not what not just what he did but greater than what he did so he's saying not only do you gonna are you gonna do what I do but you're gonna do greater well I just right now I just settled for what he did well if I do that because I saw where he stopped the storm I saw when he cursed a tree and it dried up within 24 hours I saw where he made the blind to see the lame to walk I saw where he even took a man who had been dead four days and his body decomposing and brought him back to life now this this is the one that says I'm supposed to do that too so we're gonna look at some of the things that Jesus did we kind of have to but I want you all to think about this just in your mind think about the people that you will that you have seen and then even take note going forward the people that the people that will say this who would say yeah we can do the things that Jesus there's a reason why they're saying this though but I want you take a note in your mind of who all you can you can remember and if you can't remember notice the people who will say so in the future that say that we can do the things that Jesus has done we're commanded to those things that we have the Spirit of God in us and so not only can we do the things that he's done we will do those things and even greater now sometimes they're gonna put a little caveat on them they're gonna say well it's all dependent upon your level of faith and so forth but okay now we're looking the past and see if if any caveat was put on that if there's anything that was added to that to make sure that hey this is the way that you'll be able to do greater things is by this this and this we're gonna see that in a second but the problem is most of these people no I take that back I take that back I'm gonna say something that and I don't mean it I really don't mean it to be mean spirit or to sound mean or to sound derogative derogative or anything like that but I don't think that the people that believe that you can do better things than Jesus did I don't think that they would ever be confused as stalwarts of theology that these were the the greatest matter of fact have you ever noticed that some of these people that we kind of talk about sometimes and sometimes laugh at sometimes like our head it sometimes just kind of shake our fist and just get irate about some of things they're teaching have you ever noticed that that you really don't see them kind of breaking down the Bible you really don't see them cutting through the scriptures right rightly dividing it as a matter of fact when those who those of us who try to rightly divide it and try to break it down they'll say that we're guilty of being too theological spending too much time studying not relying on the power of the Holy Spirit when again the power of the Holy Spirit gave us the book gave us these words for us to rightly divide but if we do it that way then we're not using the the the spirit but they're using the spirit and it's almost this kind of hocus pocus kind of mystical way it almost borders voodoo sometimes right some sort of black magic or or or a cult it and so it is no surprise that the people that you see that tout this belief that we can do greater things and this belief in signs and wonders and miracles to that degree that these really aren't the deepest when it comes to studying the scriptures and these are the folks that don't want to have a discussion with other people about where they might be right or might be wrong they don't want to have that discussion but if we're smart and you all are because this is where the smart Christians come the smart Christians channel hey smart Christians how are you that's you guys because not that we have gotten to a level of understanding that we can never be wrong no smart is just being able to realize that I might be wrong about something and trying to find out where being open to the possibility of being wrong because I know that when I'm wrong guess what if I discovered I'm wrong it's not a bad thing it's a good thing because I just learned something new and so we're not afraid of taking scriptures and comparing it with other whatever whatever one else would say it's a no core you're wrong on this part okay show me how no Mary you're wrong on this part okay show me how that's what smart Christians do it's not that I'm the smart Christian you're the smart Christian system we're trying to be smart as Christians and so you don't see them doing that same thing they don't open themselves up for back and forth conversation and if you do disagree with them well then how dare you but when they look at this particular passage they break this passage down all wrong and so I want to go ahead and let you listen to one of the Star Wars of theology one of the great mystical theologians out there let him break down chapter 12 I'm chapter 14 of John 14 for John 14 12 preached wrong so many times I've heard so many people on YouTube and Bible teachers and guys that get on here and they try to undermine say deliverance isn't for today miracles aren't for today they say that this scripture doesn't mean what Jesus said it means so let's look at John 14 12 this is Jesus speaking so these words are in red he says I tell you the truth I'm not lying he says I tell you the truth anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done and even greater works because I am going to the father now I want you to notice he does not say the disciples will do the same works I've done come on chat are you guys awake tonight he does not say the apostles are going to do the same works that I've done now I will grant him this the past that he's referring to is not speaking of just the just the apostles or just the disciples and so I'll give him I'll give him that but that's about that's about it he does not say this will happen until I die on the cross and then once I die on the cross we don't need the casting out of demons he doesn't say that he doesn't say after the book of Acts we don't need it any longer there's no end to this verse the prereq by the way I think that that whole statement that about this stopping or whatever after the cross or whatever I really think I really feel like he got that from me because that's one of the things that I've levitated at them before is that this whole issue of casting out of demons and so forth you don't see it after the founding of the church you don't see anyone commanded to go and cast out demons matter of fact the last time you see it is Paul doing so I think it was Paul but after that the founding of the church that wants the Jews the Samaritan Gentiles have received it and then once once John's Apostles I mean disciples received it the Holy Spirit and the founding of the church you don't see a command do so in any time that someone is struggling with something even if it's something that's demonic you never see them saying hey cast the demons out so I kind of think that maybe he got that whole point to say right there for me I don't know maybe not maybe maybe I'm just leaping but anyway back was it is any believer in me anyone who believes in me will do the the same works and that means actually identical works we don't even have to say the even greater even though Jesus said it but he says they're gonna do the same works and even greater so let's look at the passage and let's see is that what he's talking about so let's go ahead and put on the screen John 14 12 truly truly I say to you whoever believes in me and so the whoever this word here the ones that are believing is the high-pistol ones the believing ones in me and so that does so he's correct it's not just focusing on just disciples and or apostles so it's all the believing ones in him again I give him credit for that but that's it then it says whoever the ones who are believing in me will also do the works that I do and greater works than these he will do because I'm going to the father now he puts in something that kind of lets us know what the key is this one right here because Hati tells us why we'll be able to do these greater works the purpose of these works he says because we go I go to the father we'll come to that in just a second but let's go back to it this word right here for the word greater let's put up on the screen for greater works this word right here if you look in the bottom left hand corner it's the word mexona it is derived from the Greek word megas okay I don't know if you all see that bottom left hand corner megas megas means great and it could it could mean great big or large um numerically now what jesus is speaking of he's not speaking of better he's speaking of in terms of volume how do I know let's go back to the screen again the word make mexona is from the word megas let me give you another passage where this word this word megas was also used this word was also used coincidentally when jesus is getting ready to cast out these demons and in mark 511 there's now a great herd of pigs was feeding there on the hillside this word great there it is right here the word mega layers from the word megas okay now question do you all think that this was some awesome herd of pigs this was the best best herd of pigs in the history of mankind this this herd of pigs these were some these were some tough these were some tough pigs right no excuse me this was a large herd of pigs this was a large herd let's put it back on the screen this was a large herd of pigs and it says he says send us to these to these pigs let us enter them and he gave them permission now we know it's talking about a large herd of pigs because look at the bottom it says numbering two thousand so clearly he's speaking about the number of pigs now coming back to this the issue is this guys if you don't exegete a text properly if you don't exegete a text properly you'll come to the conclusion he has to and really what happens is we want a text to say what we wanted to say so we can get to the conclusion that we want to get to the conclusion someone like he would have or any of those people that i that i've talked about that i brought up um the geno genes of the world not as much to him but still some to some degree him as well uh the kenneth coltons of the world the catherine cricks of the world the marcus riders of the world all of these people these folks that are that are casting out demons left and right and so forth you have to come to this conclusion you have to come to this conclusion in order to say that i can do all the in order for you in order for you to believe that i have the power in order for you to believe that i can cast out demons in order for you to believe that i can lay my hands on you and cause folks to fall out in order for you to believe that i can prophesy and and call those things at night as they work in order for you to believe that about me you have to believe that this text is talking about me and then possibly possibly you now i want you to believe that it applies to you but more so me because I'm the one that's doing it and the reason why you're not doing it because you don't have the faith quite yet but I'm all the faith that you need right now just believe in me and the powers that I'm doing and eventually you'll get there but I need you to believe this passage is saying I can do what Jesus did but not just what he did but greater than what he did now by the way this is a new this is a new they didn't come up with this they didn't figure this out on their own okay this is a old tactic this is a old strategy from who who do you all think invented this well I just want to mark his old snake back mountain well speaking of a snake this is where it comes from going to Genesis 3 verse 1 now the serpent this snake was more crafty than any other beast of the field and look what he says did God actually say you shall not eat of any tree of the garden and the woman said the serpent we may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden but God said you shall not eat of the fruit of the tree in the midst of the garden neither shall you touch it lest you die but the serpent the snake said to the woman you will not truly die and look what he says here it is for God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be open and you will be like God knowing good need but the but the focus is to be like God to be like God well that's the issue that's the thing I want to be like God I don't want to be like anybody I want to be like God being like the rest of you y'all I don't y'all get over there I want to be like God remember I said there's there's two things that heretics do two things that heretics do one of two they won't do the same thing but one of two they will either bring God down to our level and fashion God into a God like me in other words if I am let's say if I'm an LGBTQ plus ABC one two three kind of person well then that's what kind of God he will be I'll bring him down to look like me and we can look eye to eye the way I think is the way God thinks or the second way is if I don't bring God down to my level then what I'll do I'll go up to God's level and I'll be like him exhibiting the same kind of power and so forth and thinking the same way and moving the same way when forgetting the mere fact that I'm a clump of dirt with some with some breath with some breath in it that's it I am a I'm a clump of worthless dirt that had the life the air the breath of God breathed in me that's it but notice what they do now this group tends to make themselves out to be more like God in other words going up to God and saying they have the same powers of God well they don't but that's what Satan wants us to do remember he says to her you will be like God now it's this kind of verbal gymnastics that he's playing and so you will be like God you won't be God but you'll be like God and so now one of the things that you also have to think about sometimes is when God or when Jesus has commissioned his disciples to do something is it him commissioning everyone or just them now earlier Jesus commissions the disciples and specifically just the disciples to go out and do some signs and ones let's pull this up too because sometimes they mix the two up let's go to Matthew chapter 10 and then we see Matthew 10 he says these 12 Jesus sent out so who did Jesus send out he sent out the 12 instructing them go nowhere go nowhere among the Gentiles and enter no town of the Samaritans but go rather to the lost people the house of Israel and to proclaim as you go saying the kingdom of heaven in hand now look what he says in verse eight he's telling them to heal the sick to raise the dead to cleanse the lepers cast out demons right now again he's he's explaining to them what to do he's not explaining to us and he's and and if we're going to follow this to a team we can only we can only go to the Jews we can only cast out the demons of the Jews heal the Jew the sick Jews right cleanse the leperous Jews that's all we could do and then receive no money in return well that last part the receiving money in return that's going to be a hard part for them but it's clear to see that who Jesus speaking to here he's speaking clearly to the 12 to the to the to his disciples but what they'll do is they will conflate the two they'll add the two together and so when Jesus sent them out to do those same things then when it's talking about go and either cast demons out or do greater works well then that's for us as well now granted chapter 14 verse 12 of John is not just for the 12 it's for all of us but he's not saying greater in terms of better he's speaking in terms of volume before we get to the volume part though let's just stop and think about it for a second if he actually did mean in terms of better now we can couch out on in terms of what's good we can say even if even if just like Bill Winston said I would like to just do what he just did not even doing greater well can y'all think of some things that Jesus did that was pretty great just some did it for Jesus just run on the mill stuff right let's think about this because someone says that we are to continue the ministry of Jesus well no you're not no who took who told you that who told you that you were supposed to continue the ministry of Jesus no you've been given another ministry according to 2nd Corinthians Paul says that we have been given the ministry of reconciliation that's the ministry that we all that we have that's the ministry that we had okay it's not not for anyone else thank you Percy astronaut status it's not for anyone else to be like Jesus we have our own ministry are you with me but because if our ministry was to be like Jesus let's just cover some of the things that Jesus did if we're going to be like Jesus and following Jesus footsteps we gotta and I'll and I'll you know what go ahead and let me see some in the chat as well if I because it's going to be hard for me to come up with remember all the things that Jesus did but let's just let's just rattle off a few things that we have to do also just even be like Jesus not better but just like Jesus how about feeding 5000 oh I'm sorry also 4000 he fed 4000 on one occasion and 5000 and the 5000 was just me how about calming the wind and the waves how about that how about okay if you want to be like Jesus continue this ministry you better show some power like how about walking on the water not just calming the wind away walking on the water how about walking through a closed door water turning water into wine how about when they're after you vanishing in the midst of the people hey Isaiah try that on do that oh I would love to see you uh Mr. Gino Jennings who's yeah I've done greater works in the Son of Man how about how about this how about transfiguration how about do that how about we just see you do that I would love to see wow that's a trick how about raising the dead not just once not just twice but several times how about doing that how about restoring sight to the blind any blind folks ever come to see you lately how about healing someone of leprosy not just once not just twice again turning turning water into wine that's pretty easy surely surely you guys surely Ms. Catherine Crick surely you can turn water into wine that'd be easy but we're talking about greater when I know let's just do what what what we know Jesus did before we're talking about doing something greater than what Jesus did let's see if we can do what Jesus did how about bearing our sins Catherine Gino Bill Isaiah Marcus any of you people can you bear my sins I don't think you can but I don't try you can't even bury on sin but that's what Jesus did oh what about forgiving sins yeah what about that or how about just do the whole thing just die on the cross how about dying on the cross can you do that yeah he did he pulled money out of a fish now you guys have a different way of getting money you don't pull money out of a fish you just pull out by uh guilting someone into giving money to you so I so y'all probably have Jesus beat that way Jesus the way you guys raise money compared to Jesus you all might have him beat right there you all might have been but other than that I would love to see you all bear sins like he did I would love to see that I don't think I matter of fact I caution you not to try now since you guys except for Marcus believe well you know I don't know what you guys believe let's take that back if you guys believe that Jesus is God I know some of you all don't believe that some of you all are oneness some of you all are Trinitarians I don't know but since if you believe that Jesus is God then you also have to not just start with what Jesus did in the New Testament but what Jesus did in the Old Testament right how about part in the Red Sea how about appearing as a burning bush or what about creating mankind creating the world that's just the easy stuff that Jesus did creating light if you really thought that that's what he meant just think about it for a second just just think about it for a second we can't even make ourselves act right and we want to act like we're going to do more than what Jesus did come on just use your brain I would say X XG the text excuse me but you're not gonna do that that would be a miracle in and of itself right there is to get you guys to XG the text properly because all you have to do we will let listen in case you all are watching let's do it on the screen for for the for these people for the Isiahs for the Genos of the world for the Catherine critics of the world let's XG the text again he says whoever believes in me the ones that are believing in me will also do the works that I do and greater in the word just just text for this part right here may guys make so nice it simply means greater in terms of volume well in terms of volume we'll get to what that means in just a second because it tells us how we get there because this word right here because Hati I am going to the father so the reason why we will be able to do greater works in terms of volume is because he's going to the father well what's that what's he got to do anything well because he goes to the father then what happens we receive the Holy Spirit and so since Jesus was really relegated about what 40 50 miles or whatever space that he walked between and never never ever leaving Palestine now the Holy Spirit is in not just one person in one location but all over the place now we've got people sharing the gospel all over the world and that's what he meant that's the ministry that Jesus he came to give us life and so we in turn take that gospel that life giving gospel and give it to other people I want you all to know who this Jesus is that we're talking about remember if you want to do I've been drinking all kind of stuff for the last few days trying to save my poor little voice and it ain't working it ain't working could y'all imagine by the way could you all imagine if I'd have got really really sick if I would have become deathly ill could you have imagined by the way I'm feeling a lot better it's just my throat just wants to take its time but could you imagine if I'd have gotten like sick or something real bad could you imagine the videos made about the people who dared to speak against these people and how God is rebuking me how God is knocking me down for speaking against the prophets of God the people of God but that ain't it though um even with a bad throat uh Isaiah Marcus Gino I'm still on you I'm still coming so yeah I probably I need to do something I didn't just rest my voice after this I'm gonna go back and watch some TV and I didn't I didn't not even plan on um doing this video live I didn't I'd gotten busy I was going to record it I could have taken my time taken about an hour to do this thing I let my voice rest but I got so busy I couldn't and I'd already put the thing up so I had to go ahead and do it I said you know what I'll just labor through this why because greater works than this I'm kidding if we had that ability my throat would be fine I would never be sick they would never be sick but think about this though if we're going to be greater than Jesus y'all do realize or maybe they don't realize it excuse me maybe they don't realize this who this Jesus is this is the one this Jesus is the one who all power and authority was given in his hand so if we are going to do the same thing if the same thing is going to happen to him it's going to happen with us then guess what wouldn't that mean the same authority and power be given to us in our hands no that would be blasphemous and he is now who is this who is this Jesus who is this Lord that we're talking about can I just put on the screen who it is y'all y'all recall this passage right here right this is Ephesians 3 20 says now unto him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we can ask or think according to the power and work within us to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations forever and ever amen that's the person whose power you're trying to usurp that's the person whose power you're trying to make yourself equal with Jesus did not consider it robbery to be equal with God why do you all think that you but you think that it's not robbery to be equal with Jesus something's wrong with you people something is really really wrong with you people yeah it doesn't think that you can do what he can do put it back on the screen that's who that's who you're trying to that's who you're trying to usurp can I tell you the problem that we have the problem that we have as Christians is that we really can't let Jesus just be Jesus meaning we can't let him be enough we want to kind of hog in and get some of his his power for ourselves if somebody says that my definition of usurp is wrong no it's not it's the absolute correct definition you're trying to you and maybe you're in that category maybe you serve ma'am or in that category but anytime that you want to make yourself equal co-equals or what have you with Jesus you are a lie you are wrong and we've seen people who try to be that way and I get it I get it I get it some folks just hey I don't like your your what you stated on this and so I'm not gonna like anything that you say that's fine that's fine uh yeah the the word that I use was to usurp and it was the correct word you don't like that word find another word but that's what they're trying to do to usurp his authority to be equal with him because even to make yourself in any way shape and fashion some way in some light close to what he is that's blasphemous not blasphemous the Holy Spirit am I saying that but it's a lie and I don't know why you don't just think that him being your savior is enough why him all the power and dominion are going to him no you're like Simon let me hog in let me just hog some of the light from you you can say no all you want to you can say no all you want to find tell me what word what's the better word to use then you you can't and and I'm wondering I'm wondering sir ma'am do you agree do you agree with these people because I know for a fact there's nothing that Jesus did that I could do do you know who had the right let me just put this up on screen for you let me just let me just do this let me just do this for you because I don't I I wish that people would get this um or my 20 here we go let's just say what John said this is whom I said after me comes a man who ranks before me because he was before me now y'all recall what John also said John spoke highly of Jesus says I'm not even worthy to unloose his sandal straps that's who we're talking about I'm not even worthy to unloose his sandals Jesus let me just tie your shoes up I'm not even worthy to do that I'm not even worthy to do that and you guys want to act like not you guys in the chat maybe one of you two two of you guys intense I don't know but these other folks want to act as though you are in some way different fashion have what he has uh oh I see someone and so yeah if you think that you can do what he can do or better than you are trying to use sir as least to put up take a position or power of importance illegally or by force and to do so you are either intentionally or unintentionally deceiving yourselves and others excuse me my voice is just just about to go away it's actually getting better it's actually getting better okay thank you now was the right definition thank you listen this is the smart christians channel you're the smart christians channel that means I'll tell you what I'm gonna do about that I'm good for another 30 seconds for my voice accent it's killing me it's killing me but anyway this is how I roll though right here can I put my one of my favorite passages though let me pull up one of my favorite passages it says I have been crucified with christ it is no longer I who live but christ who lives in me and the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the son of god who loved me and gave himself for me now I've not given myself for anybody he said I should be resting I should I should you know what again I thought I was gonna be better for this and I wasn't and I said dawg I gotta go I'm committed I'm committed but I've got my kids uh making dinner I think my wife just got home I'm not sure I'm about to go home I mean go back in the room and get baby to pampered and that'll be that but in the meantime I gotta set some things straight any of these folks listen if anyone ever tells you if anyone ever tells you that they can do what Jesus can do call them alive I think the problem is that we have gotten to the point that we don't want to offend anyone and so that when someone says something outrageous and stupid let's just call it what it is it's stupid it's stupid it's evil um the lord is telling me that I need some bitcoin I see all these bitcoin bots popping up but the lord but if anyone tells you I'm just waiting to see if anyone of these bitcoin bots are gonna pop up if it ain't if it ain't something I guess it's better uh than the x-rated stuff popping up the bitcoin stuff thank god for the bitcoin rather than the x-rated stuff and I better stop because what's gonna happen next the x-rated stuff's gonna pop up in a second I don't know YouTube needs to fix that fix that matter of fact I tell you what Marcus and Isaiah you guys why don't y'all stop that lay hands on YouTube and stop that there's a sign from god so when y'all see this is the point I'm going somewhere over the next few weeks I want us to be brave and to fight against this stuff because there there literally are people that are being hurt I said this before at the end of every heresy is a soul at the end of every heresy is a soul and someone who doesn't know the scriptures well is reading into this and it makes sense like yeah yeah you're right we can call those things that matter though they were and and no you can't and then when it doesn't happen well it's not with god and it's not with his word the problem's gotta be with me and what's wrong with me and something pray for my faith guys and well you have a an unfaithful demon you have an impressive demon on you let us cast that out let us mentor you let us let us work with you just so into this ministry yeah so you're gonna feel defeated emotionally spiritually mentally and we're gonna drain your pocket book because we're gonna need you to keep listening to us this stuff is harmful to the body it is and so uh someone just gave me a thumbs down which is fine give me some more thumbs down if you think what I just said is wrong then you're wrong nothing I said I can confidently say this that everything I said so far in this broadcast has been biblical you cannot do more than God can do you just can't you can't do close to what he can do you have a hard time Jesus said I've told you earthly things and you don't understand those things have been kind of you heavenly things which means you don't even have the ability to think like Jesus you can't even comprehend what Jesus can comprehend okay camera you actually did that tell me what I need you to do I need you to go create four more counts and sign in and give me the give me the thumbs up no I'm just kidding I did see a chance it went from four to three thank you sir that does happen though you actually hit the uh the thumbs down and you need to hit the thumbs up by the way get the likes up people so um now my grandson wants to come in now my grandson wants to come here I thought he was leaving he is something else um open the door three my my grandson's name is three so hold on one second three in oh I I thought I thought I thought I hit the mute button and I didn't so anyway but while I wrap this up guys and before I get to go lay down um I want to make sure that at any time that I get opportunity to see when someone says something like this as just so off um we'll use these as an opportunity as a as an opportunity to go over the scriptures and see what it actually says because some folks not on their side really do think that huh what does that mean he says greater and it does mean greater it just means that I will do you we will do more because he goes to the father of the Holy Spirit and what is because now remember this in the same thought that Jesus having in John 14 it's kind of a continual thought that he's having in John 14 15 16 he's speaking about he's getting them ready for when he gets ready to leave so Jesus is on his way out the door so to speak he's on his way to be crucified um but what he says is and this this is kind of really the beginning of that thought in chapter 14 but in 15 what's going to happen when he goes to the father the Holy Spirit comes and when the Holy Spirit comes what happens he comes in them to testify and because he comes in them to testify or to witness of him that's what we're going to do so from now on as long as you have the Holy Spirit in you you are going to witness to testify of the goodness of Christ either on the street corner either at work either as you just write and thank you letter to someone if you just give it someone a hug god bless your sister whatever who knows how you're going to do it but in some way super fashion because it's more of us in different locales than Jesus was because remember in his earthly ministry Jesus voluntarily emptied himself of some of his godly prerogatives which was to mean which was him not being everywhere at the same time so in his earthly ministry he was only located in one place god the father was in heaven the spirit was everywhere but but god the son was wherever he was okay and so now that living in us yeah i'm struggling i'm struggling just chat uh that living in us it's us all over all over but the thing is now we can all testify of Christ to our neighbors to our co-workers wherever online um in our writings what have you so and everybody's giving me um giving me solutions to do uh gargle with salt water honey y'all know much honey i've drink i've drink drinking drink drunk what's the right word drink how much honey have i have i've i've drank a bunch of honey i've taken in a bunch of honey i'm saying the wrong way you know much honey i've had he's a couple thousand with blue star i do have by the way honey and lemon i drank okay she said you know how much honey i've drank okay all right don't go any now you all confuse me it's one of the two i'm drinking i'm drunking i drank i'll be drinking i mean okay there it is he said i need to pray in tongues i ate praying tongues of drank how much how much you know how much honey i've drank yeah that's how we're gonna do it listen be wrong be wrong as best you can be as wrong as you can be so let's just say you know how much honey i've drank you know there come the bitcoins again and so i've taken all these different remedies and so forth uh why would you say i don't believe in healing who when have i ever said i don't believe in here i do believe in healing as a matter of fact when someone is sick you know what i do i pray i pray for my lord would you please heal them but you need to know something about me though i recognize i see you look drunk okay uh i recognize where healing comes from i recognize that it doesn't come from my power or by anyone else's hands it comes from him and it's his prerogative to do so not mine that you know what that might be right too Sheila that might be right because uh when i was a little boy in the winter up north they would give us little teaspoons or tablespoons of alcohol to kind of war i don't have any alcohol in house so but i brought up the other day about using in the wrong way isaac 53 by his stripes we have been healed that mean that we pray that and that you know what yep i say that prayer and i'm healed no no that's not what i mean that's not what it means um well it healed me then get listen get to get to healing touch you you want me to lean my head on the screen is that what you want to get to healing get to healing and i listen i take it if i get healed now as long as you know if i get healed i don't i'm not giving you the credit i don't think that's what you're asking for but uh i if i believe in god's healing power no i don't i got hennessey no i didn't know no uh by the way i've never i've never drank hennessey i've never drank it i've never drank any of that stuff before although i did it one time one time my junior year junior year in high school i got high and drunk at the same time yeah was not a good experience and so i don't drink or get high ever since then yeah so um but um i believe in i believe in healing i believe in um the power of god i also believe in the prerogative of god which means he can do what he wants to how he wants to and if he doesn't it's okay with me um i can't i can't there's some things i want to tell you about that what god has done recently and when he did it like yeah god i expected that i i had this relationship to where where what he does i expected if he don't i still expect it i expect him to do what he's supposed to do i expect that's my faith i expect god to do what he's supposed to do um and that doesn't mean that i get what i want sometimes i don't even get what i think i need but i trust him i can't tell you how much i trust him and then one thing i'll even share with with um with my wife something that she doesn't even know i'll share with her later but i trust see that's what it means to be to be a true christian to lean on not his power i mean on our power but on his power that's what a that's what a real christian is guys newsflash i don't think you in case you haven't been told a real christian leans on his power not mine yeah he said a real christian leans on his power not not my power so anyone walking around here thinking that you got the power what's that what's that group back in the 90s i got the power no you don't no you don't and so um i've had i've had night quill i've had day quill i've had um so i've had this has been a drill kind of stuff i've had that i've had pseudofed um can i tell you guys what the biggest problem has been and my wife has told me that she said it she said it's your your own fault you big idiot she didn't call me big idiot but i felt like that's what she was trying to say and i am the biggest problem with me is getting enough rest i naturally wake up early in the morning i just naturally do i since i was a little boy waking up at five in the morning cnc music factory i love i love my uh i love the smart christians it's like if i say one thing everybody's on it but um but there was another group also that that didn't wasn't there another group that made that same song there was a time going on where you had groups making the same song a similar similar song back in that time but anyway um i just don't don't get enough rest i'll i'll if i go to sleep at 12 i'm getting up at five and then something to happen tell you about this cat right that we got if if this cat that we have he's not satanic he's really not he's really a cool cat but he's a cat yeah i've got him if um he'll come the other night he came and sat on the little red thing beside the bed and just sat with his face to my face and just started meowing and meowing and meowing i was like oh lord what is wrong with this devil cat right here i just like you can't i don't care who you are you can't sleep like that so i got to see what he wanted he didn't want anything he didn't want he didn't want anything i gave him some food made sure he can get to this kitty litter he could he just wanted me out as soon as i let him go coconut comes lays her head right by my face and starts wagging her tail she wants to go out and use the bathroom now it's four o'clock in the morning if it's four in the morning if it's four in the morning and i get up at five why am i going to sleep i try to but that's my problem i'm gonna eat and that's that's the biggest problem um and it dawned on me since what year since 95 yeah about 95 95 96 nothing about allergic to him it's not them i'm not allergic to dogs or cats not them since 95 the cat was prophesied since about 95 96 i have spoken for a living i've talked for a living right either as a as a financial advisor as a run my own firm or in ministry and so and i've never really had a problem my voice going out it's just i've got to get rest especially when you get old that's when you get older that's just me you sound like the person you must have a lot of hair you must have a lot of hair but that's right you know it's funny though it doesn't take a whole lot to come to this conclusion but that's what jesus was talking about that you'll do more it doesn't take a whole lot to come to that conclusion but anyway um lastly guys though and let me just reiterate again if you think you can do more than jesus you are sadly mistaken if you think that you can do more than him you are sadly mistaken and so the whole point of this is to correct an error that's out there um that um so you're kind of ready to say some blasphemes i'll ignore him i'll ignore what he just said but if you think you can do more than jesus or you can do anything equivalent to jesus you are mistaken very as as brianna says very very mistaken there is no god like him and you ain't close to him you need him you rely on him if you don't if you think that if you don't rely on him and you think what you can do is equivalent to him then you have demonstrated that you really need him because you're not safe you have put yourself in his place which means you have not submitted yourself to him so guys i want to thank you so much for bearing with me uh i'm gonna go back in that's what it is in it that's you know what nate that's that that really is what it is that really is envy and pride which is coupled together that's a bad thing how could yeah how can you do more than the one that saved you like but like nate said envy and pride and what comes before pride no what comes after pride as a backwards destruction so guys i look forward to uh seeing you i don't know when i see you get live uh it would definitely won't be tomorrow i say that and then watch watch me be on live tomorrow definitely and i was supposed to be on live with someone else today but i had to cancel because i knew i was gonna be bad today um but i will see you all again uh either live sunday or monday who knows maybe next week depending on if i get enough rest in the meantime guys you all be blessed


Good morning everybody and welcome to the session Innovative Uses of Island Dora. My name is Mark Jordan. I'm from Simon Fraser University I'll introduce my colleagues briefly and then move into an introduction and then hand it over to the first speaker This is Christian Allen from UCLA and Evelyn McClellan from Artifactual Systems Island Dora is a general repository platform built on a commonly known and well-understood tools namely Drupal, Fedora Commons and Solar for searching and it's Currently using Fedora 3 and Drupal 7. That's kind of changing as we speak. There's a movement right now to migrate to Fedora 4 You may have heard a lot of bobs about Fedora 4 It has a very vibrant user community and a fairly vibrant commercial support community. There are at least three commercial service providers Okay, I'll try Actually, can someone close the door at the back? Please, that helps a lot. Thanks And as far as we know in within the Island Dora community, it's installed in a production Production environment in about a hundred sites around the world mainly North America Quite a few in Europe and the sprinkling in Eurasia I Think I'll turn it over to Christian now and let him take the microphone. Sure. Thank you So as Mark mentioned, my name is Christian Allen. I'm a software developer at UCLA And we use Island Dora In a variety of different projects. So I'm gonna talk a little bit about today Just covering briefly what Mark already said just Island Dora in general to get everybody on the same page If you're not familiar with it or you're looking at using it how particular code packages are used in Island Dora and How other people others in the community can contribute to the open source Software that so others can use particular projects and then I'll focus on a use case at UCLA and a particular Module that we contributed along with DGI that's discovery garden a vendor Back to the Island Dora community And so as Mark mentioned, this is just a high-level view of what Island Dora is it uses three main components that if You're already familiar with just the software world and repository in general These are all really common Drupal, which is a popular CMS framework is used to view objects on the web Solar is used for the browse and discovery layer So this is used to search that the contents of the repository and fedora is used for long-term storage And archiving of the objects So we're gonna focus Particularly in Drupal. There's the concept of modules which are just reusable packages of code that apply to a certain use case and Island Dora has adopted this concept and called the chunks of code that they use solution packs so this is just a fancy way of saying it's a Way to package code so others may use it in a different environment So someone at XYZ organization develops something And someone at ABC organization wants to use that. There's just a standard way of structuring the code so that others can use it easily And so Island Dora has the concept of solution packs So if you have a digital library most likely you're doing the same things over and over again If you want to display audio There's a Mostly you're using the same player as someone else or if you're using video you're structuring the data a certain way And out of the box Island Dora comes with a variety of different components to get you started One of the areas that we were interested in was particularly a manuscript collection that we wanted to Expose on the web and there wasn't a turnkey solution If you're familiar with Island Dora, there is a variety of of similar a solution pack So for example, there's the book solution pack And there's a newspaper solution pack which were very close to what we were looking to use in a particular project But they weren't quite there. There was a couple features that That we needed and so it's just a matter adopting these and then Creating a solution pack and then using this in the Island Dora framework And so our particular use case that we had we had a need for the manuscript solution pack so it essentially There was a couple different features that the book solution pack and a newspaper solution pack didn't have and in particular this was T I association and a custom XSL T display And also the option to view and compare multiple images of a work And there were already there's a the Island Dora community had developed The digital humanities solution pack which was a little too heavyweight we thought for our needs We need to just scale it down and just wanted to start with something a little more simple And it should be noted that there are others in the Island Dora community particularly Hamilton College that did a lot of work with TEI and Papers with their Civil War project, but it was done in a previous version of Island Dora And we're using Island Dora 7 so we weren't we were able to utilize some of the concepts But we were able to port the code directly So the first feature that that we were really interested in was building on the the internet archive viewer and the book viewer solution pack so out of the box The book solution pack of Island Dora uses the the internet archive viewer, whichever Knows and is familiar with and is a really robust viewer We needed the option to actually have a TEI text compared with a page that the user was looking at But if if TI didn't exist for a project. We didn't want to Force the force a user or force a project to have to have TDI to use this Project so you have the option of choosing between two different viewers right now The internet archive viewer if you just want to get started right out of the gate, and you don't have Any any TEI or additional components or if you do have TEI and some XSLT for your project You can use a custom viewer that UCLA has that allows you to put these two pieces side-by-side And Interact with the TEI so when you choose a page the the actual image changes to to where you are in Reference to the TEI Along with that is previously in Island Dora. There wasn't a way to associate a TEI file with a Manuscript or book collection and now one is able to do that and The advantage of that is now that you can you can take advantage of TEI related functions that were not previously available Along with that you're going to want to display this TEI in a certain way, and that's going to be different for every project And so the way that that's utilized is using XSLT so for each project No manuscript most likely is going to you're going to have an 18th century manuscript is is going to look completely different from Something from present day, and you'll want to display these differently, and that's done via XSLT So you can use the same code same solution pack And someone on your team can just develop one new file and XSLT And you can have a completely different viewer. That's more appropriate for your project So the particular case study that we're using this for first is the David Livingstone project and David Livingstone was a Scottish Explorer And he kept extensive writings of his travels in Africa, and we have hundreds of documents of and Manuscripts during this period and these have all been marked up in TEI and transcribed by scholars And we have implemented this in in Island Dora So this is a complete Island Dora site utilizing the manuscript viewer that we had just reviewed And it's directed by Professor Wisnicki at University of Lincoln, Nebraska UCLA is the digital host and publisher And we're working closely with resources at UNL to Bring this project to fruition and it's going it's in beta now, and it's going live in at the end of May So this is just an example of a screen capture of the manuscript viewer of a particular letter in the Livingstone project There's also all the standard features of Island Dora, which is a faceted browse by different authors and topics and places that the Letters were written and also what's really particularly interesting about this collection is While Livingstone was in Africa, he had very limited access to paper and would write on newspaper From left to right right to left up and down and he also utilized After he ran out of ink, he utilized ink created from the local berries. And so using spectral imaging You can now see The different writings a lot more clear where it looks just like a mishmash if you just look at the paper And those resources are also in there and there is you can be able to you're able to compare these The next step for this project is we'd like to increase the TEI and viewer interaction right now It's fairly rudimentary. You can change a page and it will flip to the next the appropriate the appropriate image that you're looking for but we'd like to have it linkable and using OCR some of the Be able to dig into the the the material a lot more robustly We do need a generic bass a batch ingest process. So right now. This is it. You're half the injustice For your organization, but we'd like to have this a generic process So you can just dump things in a folder and it will ingest it into Island or and generate the proper derivatives additional navigation widgets Annotation options and additional integration with other viewers out there such as such as miradora and some of the other Projects interesting project out there and we have a public release in May We're running out of time, but I'll just cover so the Additional features of the manuscript solution pack. So right now. I've just focused on its use in manuscripts, but there's a It's really meant for archival materials in general and so if you have an EAD Finding aid you can ingest it using this solution pack and it will automatically generate something akin to a site map a large linked page That you can also customize via XSL T And so the idea would be if you had just large content that you wanted to churn out quickly And didn't have metadata at the item layer This is a solution that you That you could explore that would be able to get a lot of content up quickly a standard review is provided so Depending on your finding aid if it's you know folder box item or the way it's structured There's just a default way to look at this and then you can tweak that using XSL T for for your organization So these are just the final the people and contributors and the the item or the solution pack is available on github right now and is downloadable and usable and UCLA has a fork that we're using for the David Livingston project, but anything generic we plan to contribute back to Submit pull requests and and submit that back to the discovery garden and island or repo for use And so that's that's about it. Thank you So I'm Evelyn McClellan president of artifactual systems We develop open-source software for libraries and archives the two tools that we develop our archive matica Which is a back-end digital preservation system and add-on which is a web-based access system aimed mainly at archives and it supports archival hierarchical description and display So I wanted to talk today a little bit about Module that integrates island or an archive matica and this is work that was funded by the University of Saskatchewan They had both island or and archive matica, but the two systems didn't speak to each other so they had island or for You know digital object deposit management of the repository display and that kind of thing and they were also running Digital holdings to archive matica to create archival information packages for long-term preservation, but they wanted they wanted Materials that were ingested into island or to be preserved in archive matica So, you know what island or is it basically it's a digital object repository it It has a set of interfaces for doing metadata entry It does digital object display in various ways, and it's a collection management system and a storage system I mainly put that up there because it's it contrasts with the next slide which talks a little bit more about archive matica And you can see that the two systems have very different functionality So archive matica the focus is digital preservation and it ingests bodies of digital objects different types of digital objects digitized holdings born digital holdings audio video files office files Forensic disks a number of different types of holdings It performs a bunch of preservation micro services And it also has functionality to normalize to preservation formats It generates premise in Metz xml files, and that's probably one of their key functionalities of archive matica is it has this very robust capability To generate preservation and technical metadata Generate premise metadata and events and agents and rights It has a very rich and detailed premise implementation, and it packages that all up in a metz file So archive matica produces archival information packages, which are are fairly Generic and they're transparent and self documenting and they're meant to be very system independent And then they place Then archive matica places the archival information packages into long-term storage And it's fairly neutral about what kind of long-term storage that is Archive matica isn't a storage management system It simply creates these archival information packages to put into archival storage So archedora University of Saskatchewan Contracted with artifactual systems and with discovery garden to create the functionality in both systems To speak to each other and then discovery garden released the archedora plugin a little bit earlier this year The the functionality the plugin is complete But archive matica is is still in beta for this where actually the functionality will be Released and complete with the release of archive matica 1.4, which we're hoping to do later this month So it's very close to being ready So this is a basic look at the workflow archive matica actually integrates with other access and deposit systems And there's a couple of different ways that it can happen You can ingest content into archive matica generate dissemination information packages and then upload those dissemination information packages to access systems In this case the workflow is the other way the holdings go into island dora and then archive matica works on the back end To to preserve the content that is coming in from island dora So what happens is that island dora continues to act as the access system and Archive matica is creating the archival me archival information packages in the background So that's the basic overview files are added to island dora They archive matica retrieves them from for dora and then sends back a notification to island dora saying that the archival information packages have been generated And everything's okay That's the more detailed view and i'm i'm not going to go over it in a lot of detail that's actually one of the design documents So basically the workflow is that the user or multiple users are depositing content into island dora And for dora content validation triggers a call to archive matica so You can have multiple users working on multiple collections And ingest is happening automatically into archive matica per collection. So What you can do is you can figure the arch and arch dora plug-in to say, you know, what kind of archival information package Do you want do you want, you know, how large do you want these packages for example? So what happens is that whenever this content validation is occurring? um island dora sends a message to archive matica Saying that this content validation has occurred and then archive matica goes and gets the fedora metz file It looks at the metz file it parses the information And it goes back to island dora and it fetches the digital object stream and the mods file and ingests it into to archive matica And this is an ongoing process Until a certain limit is reached which is specified by the user. So let's say the user is saying, you know, when there's 20 gigabytes Of content in a certain collection and that triggers the creation of of a transfer to archive matica So archive matica stops gathering and actually creates a transfer that's ready for processing an archive matica so at that point archive matica Verifies the checksums that are coming in from the fedora metz file And if everything is okay, then it's The transfer comes up in the archive matica dashboard and the user can then go in and improve this approve the start of the transfer so At this point all the digital preservation microservices kick in The content gets processed the archive archival information package Is created and placed in storage and then archive matica sends the completion status to island dora and says, okay, the archival Archival information package has been created and the content is safely stored So i'm just going to show you Uh a manual process for this because it sort of helps Um to illustrate exactly what's happening here. So you have You have an image collection in island dora, for example And there's a detail. So what I did is I just went into our island dora archive matica test instance and just Manually sort of had archive matica and just a single digital object So if you were to click on the manage tab On that screen You would see there's actually an archive matica link there along with All of the other things that you can do to manage this object So you click on that And you you tell archive matica To ingest this file and you get a message saying this has been successfully submitted to archive matica So once you've done that and you have all your content then archive matica does its thing And I don't know how familiar you are with archive matica But that's basically one of the tabs that is showing you all the Results and outputs of all the various preservation microservices that are happening So in this case you can see that there's a check mark next to the The houses in strathcona there that's saying okay, everything's been done. We've run through all the microservices. Everything is successful If it weren't successful, you would see red and you would see error message And you would be emailed an error message and that kind of thing and it has Successfully being placed into our archival storage Which is good. Um, this is what canadians look like when we're pleased So at this point you can go I mean, this is just for demonstration purposes But you can go you can retrieve the the digital object From archival storage using the archive matica archival storage tab and you can see there that this particular Archival information package consists of just this one picture And you can see the reference to the data stream. You can see the reference to the archival information package So the archive matica archival information package is a very simple Folder structure that is bagged up in the library of congress bagged format If you want it to be actually you don't have to but it is bagged and compressed in most cases So there you can just see that's a very typical bagged format if you're familiar with it Within the data folder we have the archive matica mets file, which is Fairly huge. Actually, it's amazing even for a single digital object If you were to open the the mets file, it would be very large It would have a bunch of extracted technical metadata It would have all the premise events everything that had happened to it in archive matica would have agents It might have other metadata that you added during processing So the island dora mets file The fedora mets file, I should say has also been ingested and packaged into the archival information package And you can see there's a folder for the mods file as well So the the mods file that was in island dora has been ingested and Some of the contents of the mods file have been parsed to the archive matica mets file And you can search for This particular object using the mods identifier so you can search for that in archive matica, for example So archive matica has sent a status update to island dora and if you go back into island dora Here i've just gone into the collection as a whole and it's showing me all the objects that have been ingested Into archive matica and successfully stored as archival information packages So at this point you can choose to to go ahead and delete the original content that was deposited into island dora Because island dora creates derivatives for display Some institutions don't want to keep the potentially very large Master digital objects in island dora. They just want to keep derivatives and they want to store the masters in archive matica So at this point you have the ability to go through and and delete content to delete the original Object data streams and just keep the derivatives actually at the beginning We had thought well, what if we just want that done automatically and as soon as archive matica sends the message everything gets deleted but University is just catching got very nervous about that possibility and decided that we wanted to have an approval step Which is pretty understandable So as I mentioned, I mean what I showed you there was sort of a manual process But this can happen very automatically so you can have archive matica Archive matica running in the background you can be depositing a lot of content into island dora and these Ingest processes can be triggered automatically Anyway, it's all up on github The the module itself was developed by discovery garden as I mentioned it requires archive matica 1.4 Which hasn't been released yet, but which will be released later this month There's a lot of there's a lot more we could do There are we could Parse more of the Mets content we could ingest the premise that's coming Out of the fedora Mets file and actually parse it to the archive matica Mets file One of the other things that we could do is I mentioned that the workflow is basically you ingest into our to island dora And the content ends up in archive matica We would love to be able to do it the other way so that if you have a bunch of holdings in archive matica You could create dissemination information packages and push them to island dora We always want the workflow to work both ways so it doesn't tie the institution to always Doing everything in one way in a particular linear order And of course you may have archive matica for years before you get island dora And then you want to push all your content to island dora. So that's development that awaits funding and So basically watch this space is what I'm saying about that part of it And that's it So I'm going to talk about my library's migration to island dora And You may be asking What's so innovative about a migration? We all do them. They're fairly common if not routine Um, there's not a lot innovative about our migration except that we are being forced to We have a lot of things. We have 1.3 million objects in our current repository general repository system It's a content dm repository And the size of that migration is forcing us to be innovative in certain ways And I'll talk about that in a minute We also are developing a lot of tools During in preparation for and and for after the migration and as christians already alluded Island dora is fairly modular kind of following in the pattern set by drupal That's got a very open back end fedora commons is completely open with apis that you can do interesting things with So this is allowing us to create a lot of new modules solution packs and and my miscellaneous tools for island dora To help meet our needs again Prior to during and after the migration And we're going to talk about a few of those things in detail And I'll be talking about why we're migrating What I'm calling our migration use cases some things that are special to us although they could be The case with other sites as well Talk about our metadata mapping and conversion process and tools and then talk about Two or three of the other tools that we're developing and we'll be releasing To the community for their use if they can find a use for them So while we're migrating We've been using content dm for a number of years and it's served us fairly well But it's not very flexible at all And we need a we need a much more flexible repository platform To do things like to start automating workflows. So to move content between Tools and repository platforms We need to We can't do that with content dm at the moment. It's impossible To automate My library tends to favor open source solutions, particularly when there's good or better than the commercial alternatives And we already use islandora in a Another repository that's fairly new. It's called radar. It's our research data repository and brian Owen talked about it in this room yesterday afternoon Our institutional repository is a straight up Drupal site. It's not islandora. It's just Drupal But we have over 10 000 objects in that repository mainly theses but also a lot of e prints and pre prints And uh, we are a Drupal shop We run our two main websites on Drupal and we have probably half a dozen other Drupal based websites of various kinds So we want to Standardize that platform and islandora is giving us an opportunity to do that These migration use cases I mentioned a minute ago again One of the most important and challenging is the size of our migration 1.3 million things in content dm 900 thousand of which are newspaper pages So we have a pretty big collection of newspapers Uh, and that's significant for a migration to islandora because when you ingest newspapers into islandora takes a long time Because it runs each tiff image each page image through An ocr process it converts from tiff to jpeg 2000 and it just takes quite a while It would for any system, but it does Take quite a while in islandora Something I'll explain this in a few minutes in more detail But content dm provides a web an http api you can query it via the url And you can get information about objects in content dm via url And we have taken advantage of this by building a drupal module Uh, in a few years ago that Is a front end for a set of collections in content dm within a drupal website Um, and because of that we have two two of our other drupal websites I mentioned a minute ago are multicultural canada and the komagata maru Journey, um, so we have two kind of boutique websites or websites that consume content that's in content dm in a drupal website and uh We don't have time or resources to convert those to islandora now so we need a way to Again, I'll just go have this in detail in a minute, but we need a way to kind of Swap out that api the content dm api and make the sites think that they're talking to content dm In essence We really want to preserve the old urls in content dm so that uh when so we don't have to go back and update them Not only in our own internal systems like our integrated library system But anyone who's linked to a url in content dm We want them to be automatically rerouted to the the new version of that object in islandora And there are a number of uh collections we have That are of a content type so to speak that is not currently supported in islandora So we need to address that particular need as well Uh, so central to this migration is converting all the metadata that we have to describe these 1.3 million things Into mods which is the out of the box metadata schema used by islandora And so we need to map from the content dm of data to to mods And that's a fairly uh routine process We are developing a tool to help us do that in a flexible modular sort of way But one challenge we have is that we have some collections that can't map to mods. They don't the collections don't describe or contain book-like things they they're basically Biographical databases, so we have a solution pack that we've developed to address that and I'll just grab it in a few minutes And during the migration, we're going to take the opportunity like many people do to clean up some of the The metadata we have we haven't been terribly consistent over the years for various reasons some of them legitimate some of them not so legitimate in creating our metadata and things like date formatting particularly easy to Clean up during a migration We have a lot of collections that are owned by faculty and they were never interested in adhering to the library standards or even library worlds Kind of view of metadata descriptions. They have their own special view of how to describe the items in their collections And so they just make up and make up metadata elements to best suit their research needs and their community's needs So we have another challenge and that is how do you map those kinds of metadata structures into a library specific domain specific structure like mods and kind of the outcome of the migration is to develop a kind of a single library wide metadata Profile with specific profiles for different kinds of collections in in our repository So a couple of slides to just show kind of how we're doing this In content dm you have for each collection. It allows you to configure the metadata the way you want Largely based on on the dc terms metadata element set a double core metadata set and We're not using the meta the dc terms mappings in this migration because We feel that especially in some cases that I just described with the specialized metadata from faculty There's no mapping first of all second of all We're kind of losing we can lose information if we map to double and core and then map up to a more granular schema mods So we're skipping that And what we're doing is taking all the fields in a particular collection as you can see illustrate on the left and As part of the tool, which I'll describe in a second allowing a metadata expert to Configure a template that is used to create the mods records for the that item During its migration into island aura So they have to learn a little bit of xml markup, but that's all they have to learn to do this Or we feel this is going to be an effective way to to allow us to migrate kind of on a one On a one-to-one basis the elements that are in our content dm collections into mods and to also allow the metadata experts to establish sensible values for some of the elements that get into the mods in these templates So moving on to the tool development and the first one that i'll describe in detail is this move to island aura kit As we're calling it myk And i'll describe that next I'll describe a couple others of these tools that we have developed or are in the process of developing as well and all of this kind of getting back to the the community that I think all three of us have mentioned but i mentioned at the beginning as well we are Writing these tools from the ground up as open source as gpl3 Which is the same license that the rest of island aura uses Knowing that we want to release them to the community Some of them are pretty specialized and may not find many implementations in the community But we're writing them not for ourselves only for ourselves first, but we're writing them for the whole community So the myk is a set of command line tools for generating island aura import packages or ingest packages island aura has three currently three tools for ingesting batches of content one that is They're all command command line tools with also with a web interface But i'll be focusing on the command line aspect here One tool is called just a batch in the batch ingest module and it ingests objects that have one file So a pdf a video an image second one is called book book batch and it ingests book objects and the third one which is Fairly new is called a newspaper batch and it ingests newspaper issues Uh, and I think christian you alluded to a generic batch ingest process for the manuscript collection solution pack Right, so that's something that we need to develop So we have a one-off solution like you mentioned for our organization Yeah, we'd like to expand that so others will be able to do it a lot easier But we should talk because I think we we need to develop a compound object In batch ingest and then maybe similar in some ways. Okay, awesome. Um Um Yeah, so the way this works is Because there are these robust and well proven tools for ingesting these kinds of content in dilandora Our tool just takes your stuff and Converts it into these packages. It doesn't do the ingestion or importing itself It just takes your stuff and moves it over to island or formats for ingestion Um, so we're kind of it's on the production side and the organizing side of the of the content Including creating metadata file xml file and by default mods, but you can Configure it so that it can create any kind of metadata xml file you want The initial source is that we will be using our content dm and csv files with local file system files And we're creating it so that it is easily easily extensible by a programmer I mean you need a developer to write some code But it's built so that they can do that very easily using well understood patterns of of uh php software development Um, I won't go into this much more detail because I already have kind of uh talked about it But this is the tool that will Um again in essence let our two Drupal sites that use the content dm api To continue to work after we've stopped using content dm So we're just basically emulating the content dm api in islandora And uh, I know you can't see that diagram, but it just kind of illustrates how this should should work Again, we will likely migrate those sites to islandora in the near future, but not By fall 2015, which is our timeline for the the large migration Um, this is an interesting module. Uh, one of the benefits of islandora is because it's it uses drupal for its Ingest display and kind of workflow management Is in many cases you can inherit a lot of the really really rich uh drupal module ecosystem And uh, you have to because islandora doesn't use all of drupal in a sense You need to you can't use all the drupal modules in an islandora site But you can use a lot of them and one very interesting set of modules in the in drupal Community is called feeds and it lets you import various kinds of content into a drupal site So what we've done is taken feeds and it's rich tool set and kind of written some extra plugins for it that will Make it work with islandora. In essence, it will take say a csv file Uh, or whatever else you're importing And create islandora objects Just like the standard feeds module and drupal creates drupal nodes or pages or drupal users and this Module will help us with our biographical databases because they don't Contain currently in our in content. Yeah, they don't contain Book like things and the metadata does not describe these book like things. It describes people We can use this as a way of migrating from that sort of flat database structure Into islandora objects effectively. So that's this is quite a neat merging of the drupal ecosystem and specific need for islandora And the last one i'll describe is the newspaper batch module, which we didn't write ourselves. We contracted with discovery garden to to write it for us But as I said, we have 900,000 pages of newspapers more than 900,000 So we need an effective way of getting all that stuff into islandora in a matter of a few months and This module will help us do that and because kind of a side effect of having The service provider Write this for us is it kind of showed us how easy it is to write these import modules. So I think we'll Take a stab at the generic Compound object importer ourselves, of course collaborating with our colleagues at ucla before we go too far But uh Yeah, this is just another tool that Kind of for the community that came out of our migration Well, thank you very much for attending. It's our pleasure to meet you today


The black Viking is back and ready to react. What is happening, Magnesots? So, all the heels of Neil Blumkamp. About to do another air lens. Looks like Mr. Luthor. Alex Luthor, that is. The creator of all those epic fan-made trailers has made one for Neil Blumkamp. So, let's get this in. By the way, the other day, remember when I was talking about my favorite Aliens movie? Well, it actually was Aliens for me. I was going to say, damn, you know what? I forgot about Aliens vs. Predator 2. That requiem or whatever it was called. That's actually, but that's a crossover. So, I can't count that as my favorite Aliens. But if you want to talk about favorite crossover with the Aliens, yeah, damn.  That motherfucker was bad.  I said, what?  He didn't even think about it.  I was so mad that he died at the end along with the queen. I was mad because that Predator is my favorite Predator.  You know what I'm saying? He was cool when he walked to the wall. Look at his stance. Just his body language when he walked to the wall.  And I'm out. I said, oh, lord. Same way. I'm gonna watch that when I get done making this reaction video. So let's get this in Neil Bloom cop alien movie. The region where she went missing. Putting his touch on it. Well, what? What it's really gonna be like when he does it.  Click the like button.  They grab you by the foot. Grab your face. And they ghetto gag you.  If that ain't the most humiliating way to go out, being killed by an animal.    Actually, I don't know if I read well. I don't know. It was time to get the baby out of me after I woke up.   Anyway, post your comments down below. One million subscribers and 100,000 subscribers plaque. That's on the way.


When I was doing my PhD work, every study I did, before I published my data, here comes a published paper in international journals signed by Cathy Carlson that kind of summarized my thoughts as well. So she kind of beat me to it every time. I think this happened twice from my studies. But finally I defended my thesis in 1990 and what I did was that I took a copy of my thesis and sent it to Cathy and wrote to her that I thought she had the same thoughts that I had, but she appeared to beat me every time.  A couple of years later I was asked to write a review about osteocondroces in animals for a veterinary journal and I again wrote to Cathy and asked her if she would like to do this together with me. And she again said yes and at this time we had started with emails so that was easier and we started to sketch the review together by emails, but then we kind of decided that we should really meet. She's a very diplomatic person which I could demonstrate by saying that in this osteocondrosis work that we have worked a lot with, the human side, the medical society, they will not really, they don't believe in results that are made in the veterinary society, medical society, and Cathy has actually managed to get part of the medical society to understand that it is the same disease because if you look at it as a chronic disease it's really very, very similar in young, usually boys and in animals, but you cannot study the early lesions in humans, you need to do that in animals, and Cathy has, due to her really scientific skills and knowledge, but together with the diplomatic trade she has been able to get a lot of medical doctors to understand that it is the same disease. She's combining pleasure and hard work. We work a lot, we have a lot of fun. I think she's very oriented towards people and very open-minded. She also has a very wide international network because she is such a easygoing person to be around and she's really interested in what other people are describing. I mean when we first met we had a little bit different ideas about this disease, but she really listened to what other people were saying or what I was thinking or you can discuss with her and there's no prestige in it. She wants to work with people that are interested in what she's doing so she never feels threatened because she doesn't need to because she has the scientific skill for her research. And I think that is a really important part of a researcher that you're open-minded at and you can discuss with other researchers within your area.


The idea of a Chinese special envoy to Syria now, the idea of a China-Arab policy paper, I don't think we'd be seeing those things for China if it wasn't for one belt, one road. It's early days, it's early steps, but the world absolutely welcomes this and needs it. I think that the political benefits of having a China that is not only has a bigger footprint, but also feels more invested to stability and resilience in these countries, that's a very positive thing.


Hi everyone, Joe for jaskiescasebreaks.com doing a big multi-team Rnb random number block randomizer for flawless picker team 15, which will be in a separate video if you're looking for that That's how the number block works. If you're not familiar with it. Thanks Matthew Tim Andrew Well, there's Matthew again and Andrew two different Andrews. Thanks guys There are the numbers right there. Let's roll it and randomize it four and a six ten times for names and numbers one two three four five six So and 10th and final time Tim down to Tim four and a six ten times for the numbers one two three 10th and final time after ten we got three down to four members zero gets all those blockchain cards There's no redemptions in flawless. There shouldn't be just blockchain redemptions So Tim with three Andrew Martin with six Tim with eight Matthew with seven and one Tim with nine Matthew with two Andrew Roth With five Matthew with zeros you'll get those blockchain cards If any for those teams down there and Tim with four Let's order these numerically and coming up in a separate video will be the break itself the flawless break stick around for that jaskiescasebreaks.com


Hallo und herzlich willkommen zurück auf dem Flugkanal und zwar zu unserem ersten Livetalk. Unser nächster Speaker ist Sartan, er studiert Medientechnologie an der TU Ilmenau und arbeitet außerdem im Bereich Machine Learning.  Und was er dort gefunden hat, das erzählt er uns jetzt. Vor Englisch-Speaking-Viewers, there is a translation to listen to it in the web player select language selection and then translate it. Und jetzt bühne frei für Sartan. Dankeschön. Hallo. Back at the University of Ilmenau, it's our first live talk. Our speaker is called Satan, he studied at the University in Ilmenau and in his spare time he is interested in JavaScript and other things. This is a translation by Castel, maybe Celeste. We look forward to your feedback on hash C3 lingo and enjoy the talk. Welcome to my talk. My talk is about the time zone database and why you definitely shouldn't be implementing them to yourself. So, first of all, this is what I want to talk about. In the beginning I want to do the general information on the IANA time zone database and the main things that I will show you, examples and usage in order to show you what you can do a bit. So, in general, the IANA time zone database is published. IANA is the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority. It usually concerns itself in S. Time zones, IP addresses. The time zone database is also called TZ, TZDB or zone info. And the idea behind it is that you have a totally complete list of zones, times zone offsets for all countries in the world. And not just countries, but also areas. It's not necessarily countries. You just go from the stream. And it's used to calculate and don't differentiate. It's kept current all the times. So, if there's a law that changes something or new countries show up or some other reasons make it obsolete, then it's being updated. And it's going to be pushed out to all the systems that are based on it so that all over the world the systems kept up to date. So, you could actually be under the impression that it's a very current phenomenon, but it actually contains all the time zones for the older history, even before 1970, where UTC before UNIX. So, that's the dates 1972 and 1970. As in a general site, it's publicly available. You can just go onto a website and grab it. It's a folder with all the files. You can also get TAR files. There's also a Git repository, where you can get it from. There's an FTP server, even ArtSync. It's pretty flexible. So, the effort that you have to spend to get it is really low. It's mostly just text files or all of it is text files. They are organized by the continent. So, there's one for Europe, one for America, one for Africa. It's a CSV-similar format. It's not separated by the comments here, but by characters. It's a tab. And there are also comments in the file that explain why something was changed, what changed, links to the legislative body that changed it, for example, like laws. There are also a few scripts that you can use to take these human-readable formats und export it into something that the machine can use much better in order to be able to use it in libraries so you don't have to parse the text all the time. One of the basic rules is, you have zones. They're usually named after a continent or an ocean. Then you have a slash and then a major city. My excerpt that I'm showing here, this is Euro-Berlin. This is the name of the zone. So, these files contain a list of rules that changes. That means it shows you when there is a change, what you have to use before and after. It also gives you the base offset. It's the basic offset that all of the areas within that zone all have in common. And then there's a format column. It's basically the name for the column. So, here you can see the percent S. I'm gonna talk about that later. The second thing are the rules. There's a complete set of rules. Every line is a rule when the offset changes. What it also contains is, if you look at the last column, it says a letter. That column is a letter that being inserted into the name when it's being applied. One interesting thing about it is, there are two different sets of rules for changing from electricity time to normal time. It means that the move from day-like saving time to winter time can happen more often than the other way around. And I want to now explain the syntax to you. So, I'm not gonna show you the code anymore, but I have a better format at the table. So, it's easier to understand. So, the first thing that we want to look at is Zion. It's the first interesting area I found. I brought my own parser that took this human readable format and the first thing I did was I just set it out one rule at a time and this one failed here because it's only happened once. Because it has this, if you look at the Friday column, the on column, it basically tells you it ruled when this offset, that is specified in the save column is being applied. It says, try smaller equal than one. If the first Friday in April falls onto the second or the sixth, then we take the Friday from the month earlier. That's one of those things that's already very hard to implement. So, if you want to use it later, so if you write your own library. And this is the second example. This is Lord Howey. This is an island in Australia. There is a rule. They have a data saving time of 30 minutes. That means they always switch between an offset of 0 minutes and 30 minutes. And it's a similar syntax to the one that we just looked at, but we're greater or equal. So, that means it's always the first Sunday in a month, but it has to be the first. So, it can't be the month earlier. So, then there are other interesting things that I looked at. This is war and peace time. This is in the US rule set. They have two rules. Two changes of the offsets. It was in 1942 and 1945. So, they changed the letter from S to W and P for war and peace. And this changes the time zone name. I'm going to talk about it later, what that looks like in the name. So, you see here in the two column, it says only. That means it only happens in just that one year. And what I can also see. The add column. There is a small U that is suffix. You can have suffixes here. You can have, for example, S. That means the base offset is taken from the zone. It's also G. That means that the time is being specified in Greenwich Mean Time. And here you can see U, that means it's UTC. Or if there's nothing there, if there's W, that's the standard, then it means it's the war clock or local time. So. This is the default. This is usually omitted, like you see here in all the others. So, this is what Daylight Saving Time works. Like, you have separate lines for winter and summer time or Daylight Saving Time and normal time. So, here you can see that the rules for the Daylight Saving Time for the winter time have changed more often than the summer time at Daylight Saving Time. And there's max in the two columns here. That means this always means that it's still current and that this is what's currently being applied. So, here you can see Hawaii. That means it's a zone. You can see in the first two columns that the entries aren't being repeated because they always are referring to the same zone and that's why you can omit it. And what you can see here is in the format there's LMT, that is the abbreviation for the time zone. LMT means local mean time and it's actually not a real time zone but it's being used in the database if there's not a proper name for it because nothing had been published. So, you can already see this has been valid up until 1896. So, this is long before we did too much thinking about time zone. What you can also see here is the format again with the percent S in the fourth row. This is where the letter that's being specified in the last column and the other rules that we looked at, this is what is being replaced here. So, there's also a rule set that has to be applied here. If there's a minus or a single number, then this is nothing that would be replaced here. You have to specify an actual letter for that. And it shows you which is being applied. So, the rule set that you should use if there's a time, this is just the offset. If there's a name, like US, then this is the name of a rule set that you have to apply for this. Okay, I also want to show you Alaska. Alaska was sold by Russia to the US in 1867. And that means they changed their offset from a positive 11 hours to 6 hours negative. So, because it switched the other side of the dateline. And that means that a certain day occurred twice. So, in 1867, die Oktober 19, basically was set back by 20-something, then the day happened again on the other side of the dateline. So, I want to show how this all works together. You can see the zone, you're Berlin, the one that is used in Germany. You can see the second to last entry was valid until 1980 and we're past that. So that if the until fuel is empty, that means it's still valid. And we have a standard offset of one hour. And then there's a rule set that's called EU. And the format placeholder is CE percent as T. So, that's a placeholder. We look at the current rule set that's currently valid. It's the one valid from 1996. That's the rule set for changing from wintertime to daylight saving time. And between in Oktober we applied the lower rule to set an offset to zero. And that means we're at zero offset of zero. And we look at the letter that has a dash. That means we don't have one. And that means we have the form at CE. And if it would be in the summertime, it would be in the upper rule and we had a letter S. And it would be C, ST and another offset of an hour. Okay, thank you for your attention. That's all from me. I wish you a lot of fun at the congress. If you still have questions write to me on master.  This has been our translation done by Caste for the talk why you shouldn't implement timezones yourself. We sign out here. We wish you fun at the congress. Please give us feedback at the hashtag and it's still a breakout session that's being linked to here. If you want to join that, have fun. Bye bye.


Hello friends, and how are you all today? Let us integrate the given function. The given function is sine square x divided by 1 plus cos x into dx. Now, we can write sine square x as 1 minus cos square x, right? And and we have in the denominator 1 plus cos x into dx. Now further, a square minus b square is equal to what? It is a minus b. Here a is 1 and b is cos x into a plus b divided by 1 plus cos x into dx. Now here on simplifying, we have it is equal to integral of 1 minus cos x into dx. So it can be written as integral of 1 into dx minus integral of cos x into dx, which is further equal to x minus integral of cos x is sine x plus c. And this is the required answer to the session. So hope you understood it well. Remember the identities that you learned in previous classes and have a very nice day ahead.
