Wanting peace with Russia to focus aggressions on China is just being an imperialist warmonger. Republican Congressman Matt Gaetz criticized the Biden administration's dangerous escalations against Russia on the House floor on Monday. Not because he thinks needlessly ramping up Cold War brinkmanship with a nuclear-armed nation is an insane thing to do, nor because he believes the US government should cease trying to dominate the world by constantly working to subvert and undermine any nation which disobeys its commands, but because he wants US aggressions to be focused more on China. While the Biden administration, the media, and many in Congress beat the drums of war for Ukraine, there is a far more significant threat to our nation accelerating rapidly close to home, Gaetz said. Argentina, a critical nation and economy in the Americas, has just lashed itself to the Chinese Communist Party by signing on to the One Belt One Road Initiative. The cost of China was $23.7 billion, a mere fraction of a rounding error when compared to the trillions of dollars our country has spent trying to build democracies out of sand and blood in the Middle East. China buying influence and infrastructure in Argentina to collaborate on space and nuclear energy is a direct challenge to the Monroe Doctrine and far more significant to American security than our latest NATO flirtation in the plains of Eastern Europe, Gaetz continued. China is a rising power. Russia is a declining power. Let us sharpen our focus so that we do not join them in that eventual fate. Now, for those who don't know, the Monroe Doctrine refers to a decree put forward by President James Monroe in 1823, asserting that Latin America is off limits to European colonialist and imperialist agendas, effectively claiming the entire western hemisphere as US property. It essentially told Europe, everything south of the Mexican border is our Africa. It's ours to dominate in the same way you guys dominate the global south in the eastern hemisphere. Those are your brown people over there. These are our brown people over here. That this insanely imperialist and white supremacist doctrine is still being cited by high-profile politicians to this day says so much about what the US government is and how it operates on the world stage. This is especially true given that Biden himself just articulated the same idea in so many words last month when he declared that everything south of the Mexican border is America's front yard. So on one hand, Gates is opposing warmongering against Russia and condemning the trillions spent on US wars in the Middle East, which by itself would normally be a good thing. But the fact that he only opposes doing that because he wants to focus imperialist aggressions on another part of the world to preserve US unipolar planetary domination completely nullifies any good which could come from his opposition to aggression somewhere else. This is a very common phenomenon on the right end of the US political spectrum. You'll hear a politician or pundit saying what appear to be sane things against the agendas of US warmongers. But if you pay attention to their overall commentary, it's clear that they're not opposing the use of mass-scale imperialist aggression to preserve planetary domination. They're just quibbling about the specifics of how it should be done. Tucker Carlson has been making this argument for years, claiming that the US should make peace with Russia and scale back interventionism in the Middle East not because peace is good, but because it needs to focus its aggressions on countering China. He inserts this argument into many of his criticisms of US foreign policy on a regular basis. He did it just the other day, criticizing the Biden administration's insane actions in Ukraine and adding, screaming about Russia even as we ignore China is now a bipartisan effort. Anti-war as Dave DeKamp summarized this dynamic well in response to a recent read as an article making the same make peace with Russia to focus on taking down China argument, tweeting, Unfortunately, a lot of the opposition to war with Russia is rooted in this idea that the US needs the resources to eventually fight China. We need more people to view war with Taiwan as as dangerous and foolish as war for Ukraine. Do you see how this works? Do you see how wanting to refocus US firepower on a specific target is not actually better than keeping that firepower diffuse? The difference between let's have peace and let's have peace with Russia and stop making wars in the Middle East so that we can focus on bringing down China is the difference between stop massacring civilians and stop massacring these civilians because you'll need your ammunition to massacre those other civilians over there.  One imperial faction believes it's best to preserve US hegemony by focusing on bringing down the nations which support and collaborate with China. While the other imperial faction wants to go after China itself more directly. They both support using the US war machine to keep the planet enslaved to Washington and the government agency insiders and oligarchs who run it. They just manufacture this debate about the specifics of how that ought to happen. This is what Noam Chomsky was talking about when he said The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion but allow very lively debate within that spectrum. Even encourage the more critical and dissident views. That gives people the sense that there is free thinking going on while all the time the presuppositions of the system are being reinforced by the limits put on the range of the debate. That strictly limited spectrum of debate is known as the Overton window and imperial narrative managers work very hard to keep shoving that window further and further in the favor of the oligarchic empire they serve. In order to prevent us from arguing about whether there should be a globe spinning capitalist unipolar empire in the first place they keep us arguing about how that empire's interests should best be advanced. The longer the drivers of empire can keep us debating the details of how we should serve them the longer they can keep us from turning toward them and asking why we should even have them around at all.


MSPs have been examining the impact of welfare reform, and today they heard from Salis, the contractor assessing many Scots who are moving from disability living allowance to the new personal independence payment. We feel we are delivering a high quality service. We have had informal feedback from both ATOS and DWP that were among the highest quality in the UK in terms of the report writing that we're submitting. And as I say, we haven't had to date touchwood many complaints from the general public that are going through the process. The committee's convener, Michael McMahon, gave his take on the evidence. We heard a very positive message from Salis from their own perspective about how they are implementing these new assessments. But I think it's fair to say that we also heard a very positive message from ATOS when they were self-analysing and assessing how they were implementing the process, which is why we have the UC process. It allows individuals to tell us their experiences. We want to ensure that the individual's dignity is at the centre of all of this process. There have been real concerns that that hasn't been the case so far. And whatever the system delivers for people, they should at least be left with their dignity at the end of it. Deputy convener Jamie Hepburn picked up on the style of assessment Salis are adopting. I think one of the most positive things we heard about today was Salis trying to bring the ethos, the culture and the philosophy of the national health service to the process for assessing people who have made a claim. I think most people would welcome that. They talked about the type of environment they try to bring for the assessment process, the fact that there's no security guards there and it's just really a core part of their function, talking about treating people as patients rather than clients. So that's something I think we should welcome. If you want to tell the committee about your experience of moving towards a personal independence payment, then please visit www.scottish.parliament.uk slash your-say-pip.


Welcome to this episode of Door Hardware Nerds. Today, we have a panel here to talk about upgrade your opening. We're going to be covering some great opportunities for our current end users. I'm your host, Mia Merrill. I'm a senior product manager here and the host of A Minute with Mia series. I have a co-host today, Benji Balik. You know him as the door dork. Benji, why don't you tell us about your new role with ASSA Abloy? Awesome. Yeah, no, I'm excited to be here, Mia. Thanks for having me and just recently got promoted to the senior door dork. I'm just kidding, senior digital communication specialist. And basically, that means that if you are following one of our digital platforms, you'll probably be seeing a little bit more of me and hopefully that's a good thing for you. That must be quite a change for you from being out in the field with our DSS team. Yes, definitely is definitely is quite the change. Yeah, can you please introduce our panelists today? Sure. The first nerd I would like to introduce is Gary Agans, director of business development for Corbyn Ruslin and Sergeant in the ASSA Abloy Door Security Solutions, region two and three. You're not familiar with our different regions. He will be covering the Midwest, South Central and Southeast of the United States. And yeah, that section of the United States. The next nerd I would like to introduce is Dave Higginson, director of business development for Corbyn Ruslin and Sergeant for ASSA Abloy DSS regions one and four and Canada, which basically is the rest of the United States, that northeastern states and then the western United States and Canada. And lastly, our nerd panelist for the final nerd panelist I'd like to introduce is Daniel Gills, director of business development for Arrow and Yale commercial. Thank you, Benji. Welcome, everyone. Daniel, could you tell us about some of the upgrade your opening opportunities for Arrow and Yale? Absolutely. And Mia, thanks for that. So we definitely got some nice opportunities here when you look at applications outside of health care. So one of the ones that has been really on our radar is following trends in society in and around door status indicators. You know, you think about it as people are getting back into their daily lives and being out in public more. Well, people kind of really want to know if somebody's in a room these days. So one of the things that we've taken head on is taking indicators and adding them to our existing and bringing out some new product lines. You think about a public restroom. You really want to know who's in that restroom so you don't get walked in on. Definitely. I've been there before. I see that there are more and more single-use gender-neutral bathrooms, mother-nursing rooms, family restrooms. They're everywhere. And even some school districts are requiring to have single-use restrooms in their facilities as well.  There's been changes in code and legislation. There's definitely a need to have more single-use restrooms. We're seeing that in just about every type of end-user application. And so one of the things that our team did as that trend is continuing in society, we want to look at how our products could benefit from that and help customers with those applications. So what we did, we actually took a look at our deadbolts from Arrow, the E-Series Grade II deadbolt and the Yale D200 series. We've got status indicators on the outside of those deadbolts, so I'm going to go a little off-script to your guys and do a little show and tell today. But you look, you can always tell on the outside whether it was locked or unlocked. But one of the creative things our engineering team came up with is an indicator on the inside. So now imagine yourself in that restroom at a glance. You can look up at that door and definitely confirm whether you locked it or not. So you know you're not going to have somebody walking right in on you. Well, Dan, that's a great upgrade. But what about Yale? I can see indicators for Mortis Locks. We had perfect opportunity right there for an upgrade for us as well. And you take a look at what we've done on the Mortis Lock side. We really followed the lead with what Sergeant Corbin Russo did a couple years back. So we'll go off-script again, but one of the things Yale did in looking at our install base, we saw a tremendous opportunity to put these nice, aesthetically pleasing indicators on our Mortis Locks to give us, again, another upgrade solution all in and around where privacy and security is front and center. We've got these for new Mortis Locks right out of the box, but we also offer retrofit kits that can work on the Yale 8800 series going back to 2002. You're correct, Daniel. That means that there are several million of the existing Locks out there that can be upgraded with indicators today. Tremendous opportunity for existing end users, new end users, and all of our customers who supply these products, Dave. You know, we've got some really great features for the occupancy indicators, don't we? You know, Mia, we sure do. You know, the indicator offering includes both full-escussion trim and sectional trim for all three of our brands. And these indicators are available for use on either the outside of the door, the inside of the door, or both sides of the door, depending on the function specified. Yeah, so also, when you start looking at the features of these new indicators, the window is located above the cylinder and above the thumb turn, so it doesn't block. You can visual see it without having anything interfere with what you see there. The indicator window itself is 25% larger than anybody else's in the industry, giving you a good view of whether it's locked, unlocked, occupied, what have you. The curved escutcheon is patented and it gives you the ability to see that from 180 degrees. So if you're sheltering in place, maybe in a school, you can be up against the wall and look down at the line of sight of the wall and be able to see whether that indicator is locked or unlocked without putting yourself in front of that door in harm's way. There are two color options today, either red and green or white and red. And I do say this, that the male population, 8% of the male population is colorblind. So be careful, they can't tell the difference between red and green, but that's why we've added an actual padlock indicator to help identify if you do choose to use red and green. So we do have three standard word options that are available and you can also get some custom ones done for you too. And then also to keep people from tampering with that indicator, we have a polycarbonate shield over the top.  Well, we have that same type of material protecting this indicator to keep everybody safe. And then lastly, if you look at the red that we use on these indicators, it's highly reflective. You think about when you drive up to a stop sign at night and your headlights hit it and it kind of magnifies the red of that stop sign. Well, we've used something similar. So if you do have low light in the classroom or in another area, it'll still pick up that red reflective color to give you a piece of mind that it is locked and you can go about doing your business. Those sound like some really outstanding features and I can think off of the top of my head tons of different applications for the use of these indicators from restrooms, mother nursing rooms, classrooms. I mean, think of the classroom security benefits that these indicators could provide. And I mean, we all crave that confidence and security in that environment when we are most vulnerable, right? We want to know we're locked and secure. Truly, truly. You know, Daniel, when you were showing it before with the dead bull indicator and Hig, when you just mentioned it, one of my favorite features of our mortise indicators is being in the bathroom and knowing that it's locked. And really, I mean, I love it when we have those in the office. It is really that nice, safe feeling that we have. Daniel? Over there. Daniel, isn't there another great upgrade your opening opportunity with the indicator coming from Yale? There is and it's actually gonna be Yale and Aromia and we're really very, very excited about this. So what we're working on right now and we're in testing with is taking the exact same aesthetically pleasing sectional indicator kits and we've designed them to retrofit against the best 35 and 45H mortise locks and Schlage L-series mortise locks. So you look at the install base, not just with ASA obloy, but with those two brands as well, best with 35 and 45H Schlage L-series, we can take our unique, beautiful designed sectional indicator kit, put it right over top of the specific and popular functions they offer to upgrade those openings to these new indicators. So the opportunity, not only for security, but privacy and convenience is really untapped and we're gonna cover a great deal of the market being able to update and upgrade those openings. This has been great and so informative. I love looking at opportunities to upgrade your opening and thinking about the next products we can create to help provide upgrades for you. Our information, for information about these ASA obloy products, you can follow the links below. Also be sure to connect with each of our panelists on LinkedIn because we share great ways and opportunities to upgrade your openings as long as new product announcements and product updates. You can find links to their profiles below as well. Well guys, I'm really excited that we could talk about a few upgrade your opening opportunities today. If you have any upgrade your opening opportunities and you are an end user, you can reach out to your local hardware providers and installers. If you're a locksmith, you can contact your favorite arrow, Corbin Ruswin, Sergeant, and Yale Wholesale accounts. If you're really excited about what you saw here today, but you just don't know how to reach out too, I'll put a link below where you can find your local DSS office. You can also find links to all the products we talked about below. Don't forget to click like on this video and subscribe to stay up to date when we release new videos. I look forward to future discussions where we can discover more openings that need to be upgraded. Thanks for watching.


Hi, this is your host Abdul Bhartiya and welcome to a special edition of Tifa. Let's talk here at KubeCon.io in Amsterdam and today we have with us once again, Ryan Kau, vice president of Gopal Sales at Cloud Casa by Catalogic. Ryan, it's great to have you on the show. Thank you, Swapnau, for having me here. We are here at KubeCon.io. Talk a bit about the presence that you're seeing here. What kind of folks are walking to the booth and the questions they're asking? A lot of people are coming to the booth and they're absolutely excited because they're using Valero in their environment today. So when they see Cloud Casa for Valero, what is that, right? And we're building an experience for them to enhance the capabilities of Valero, giving them a UI, an ability to be able to monitor, right, and get logging from their Valero clusters as well. So it's been really, really exciting for them to see that we're enhancing that experience when they're using the open source solution. I also want to hear about your presence, what activities, what announcements you made here. So the R announcement, right, Cloud Casa for Valero, is to go ahead and help enhance that experience of users who are using Valero, right? You know, there's certain gaps that we go ahead and help fit as far as going ahead and solving these problems around multicluster management, alerting and reporting, as well as providing enhanced recovery capabilities through our UI. Can you also talk about, you know, that what are the drivers behind this announcement?  So what are the drivers behind this? The driver behind it really is that the community loves open source. Nobody wants to really be closed source, right? And given that there's a lot of people who are using Valero in their environment today, we want to, like I mentioned before, is go ahead and enhance that experience. And that's why we developed Cloud Casa for Valero. And let's just talk about enhancing that experience with Valero.  Sure. So when a customer is using Valero today, right, it's focused on each specific cluster, but as you start expanding out your environment, it becomes difficult to manage. And that's where we come in to help give you a unified pane of glass to manage those clusters in a single pane of glass to give you the alerting, the monitoring, and really just scale out across your environment. When we look at, you know, the Kubernetes ecosystem, you know, it can be self-managed, it could be managed solution, it could be SaaS. So talk a bit about the kind of different use cases and the benefit that Valero with Cloud Casa brings to different use cases. Sure, definitely, right? So first of all, our solution is SaaS. So it's quick and easy to deploy, right? A customer is already currently running Valero in their environment. One of the big things is we want to not disrupt what they're currently doing today. So our integration with Valero is non-disruptive.  But most importantly is to give the end user the capability to see all of their recovery points, right? And then to be able to seamlessly recover from it. And some of the other things that we've gotten positive feedback around is, how do I give self-service capabilities back to some other end users within the organization, right? And we have role-based access control where we can say, hey, listen, you have a specific team that uses these specific clusters, allow them to do their own restores, right? And the feedback that we're hearing is, wow, that's great because certain teams will come back to us and ask us, hey, can you go ahead and do the restore? And they'll have to wait on us till we have time available. Whereas now they can use our solution, give the end user the self-service capabilities that they need. This is Valero's open source. So I have two full questions there. One is that, how are you planning to maintain the cadence of their release with your support for them? Number one. Number two is that, if there are Valero users and they want to leverage your SaaS solutions, how easy or difficult it is for them to quickly, doesn't really matter where they are, they can just start leveraging CloudCosta. And they can start leveraging CloudCosta, right? As long as they can access our portal on the web. And effectively, what we do is, we install a small agent onto their clusters and that's how we go ahead, figure out what are they doing, give you all the different recovery points. So it's very easy, quick and easy to set up and to deploy, right? As far as on the Valero versions themselves, right? We constantly work with the Valero maintainers as well. So we're contributors and we're always working together to ensure that these end users are going to have a positive experience. And how users can access this service? Is it free? Is it paid model or the trial model? You can sign up. So it's free for the first 15 worker nodes, right? And then if you want support for those first 15 worker nodes, it's $199 a month. And then $19 for each additional worker node after that. Ryan, thank you so much for taking time out today and of course talk about Valero with CloudCosta and I just was allowed to have you back on the show. Thank you. Thank you, absolutely. It was a pleasure as well.


Is it possible to physically feel the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit? It absolutely is, and I'm going to show that to you from the Scripture. But more importantly, as we look at this truth revealed in Scripture, your faith will be stirred. And it's my prayer that by the end of this message, that you would sense the touch of the Holy Spirit's power on you. Whether it's been years since you've sensed that touch or whether you've never sensed that touch before, I believe that tangible power of God is present to transform your life. I'm going to show you what the Scripture says on this matter, and then we're going to pray. And when we pray, I believe that as you join your faith with mine, that you will have an encounter in the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit. First, we look to the Scripture. Acts chapter 17 verse 27 says that they should seek the Lord if perhaps they might feel after him and find him, though he be not far from any one of us. God is not a million miles away. He's right next to you. Whether you sense him or not, whether it's been a while since you've thought about him or not, this is the reality. He's looking at you right now. He's listening to you right this very moment. He is in the room with you right now. There's an old story about an evangelist by the name of Smith Wigglesworth. Smith Wigglesworth was staying in the home of a family while he was preaching a revival locally in their town. The wife was saved, a husband who was not a believer. During that revival meeting, the husband and wife agreed to give the man of God their room, so he slept in their bed while they slept in the next room. Each night he would go and preach that revival and then come back and sleep in that bed. Finally, the revival came to an end. The wife had been praying for the husband. She had been hoping that he would attend one of the meetings. He didn't. She had been hoping that he would have an encounter with God. He didn't. And so, Smith Wigglesworth begins to leave their home. He leaves out the front door, begins to walk down the street, and the wife goes chasing after him. She calls out to him and she says, please wait, my husband isn't saved. Can you pray for him, minister to him, something? As the story goes without even missing a step, Smith Wigglesworth slightly turns his head to call back to her. A simple instruction he gave, don't change the sheets. An odd instruction indeed, but the woman obeyed. By faith, she obeyed the instruction of God's servant. And so that night, the husband and the wife went to bed. The wife did not change the sheets. That night, the husband began to have nightmares about the afterlife, specifically about hell, about sin, about the judgment of God. He hopped out of bed, fell to his knees, and cried out for God's forgiveness. He became a born-again believer. What exactly happened there? It was the tangible touch of the anointing of the Holy Spirit. You see, there is a tangible element to the power of God. The power of God can manifest in a physical way. In our meetings all the time, people report feeling electricity or heat or weight come upon their bodies while they're experiencing a miracle healing or some other form of breakthrough that God is giving to them. This is the reality. The power of the Holy Spirit has a tangible aspect to it. Now, looking to the scripture, for example, let's first go to 2 Kings chapter 13. Then Elisha died and was buried. Groups of Moabite raiders used to invade the land each spring. Once, when some Israelites were burying a man, they spied a band of these raiders. So they hastily threw the corpse into the tomb of Elisha and fled. But as soon as the body touched Elisha's bones, the dead man revived and jumped to his feet. Now, before we continue to look at other examples of the tangible power of the Holy Spirit in scripture, it's important that we remember this. It's not the object itself. It's not the man or the woman themselves that produces the power. The power comes from the Lord and this is the way that he chooses to sometimes operate. Let's go now to Acts chapter 5 and I'm going to read verse number 15, another great example of the tangible touch of God. As a result of the apostles' work, sick people were brought out into the streets on beds and mats so that Peter's shadow might fall across some of them as he went by. In Acts chapter 19, verses 11 and 12, the Bible says, God gave Paul the power to perform unusual miracles. When handkerchiefs or aprons that had merely touched his skin were placed on sick people, they were healed of their diseases and evil spirits were expelled. In Mark chapter 5, verse 21, the Bible says Jesus got into the boat again and went back to the other side of the lake where a large crowd gathered around him on the shore. In Mark chapter 5, we see the example of the woman with the issue of blood. She came up behind Jesus reaching out in faith and touched the fringe of his robe when she did, she felt within her body immediately that she had been healed. Verse 30 says Jesus realized that once that healing power had gone out from him, Jesus could actually feel the power leaving his physical being. In James chapter 5, verse 14, the Bible tells us this, Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you. Anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick and the Lord will make you well. So here we see an example of the use of oil, the New Testament example of the use of oil. We understand there's no power in the oil, but God chooses to use the oil when we respond to his word in faith, the tangible touch of the Holy Spirit. Second Timothy chapter 1 verse 6 gives us another example of what can happen with the tangible touch. This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you. So here we see that a spiritual gift was imparted by the laying on of hands. Something happened through the realm of the physical. This is how God chooses to move in many instances. Now to balance this point let's look at Acts chapter 8 verses 19 and 20. Let me have this power too, he exclaimed, so that when I lay my hands on people they will receive the Holy Spirit. But Peter replied, May your money be destroyed with you for thinking God's gift can be bought. In that portion of scripture we see that Simon the sorcerer offered to buy the power of the Holy Spirit and he was sharply rebuked for it. His motives were impure. Even though there's a tangible touch to the Holy Spirit's power, even though the power of the Holy Spirit can sometimes be physically manifested, doesn't mean that we should ever offer it for sale. You cannot buy the anointing, you cannot sell the power of the Holy Ghost, and if anyone ever offers you for sale the anointing or a touch of God or anything that spiritual that should be given away for free, you run from that because that is sorcery. Now, having said that, I know that this is a reality. Even though there are those who will take advantage of this reality, even though there are those who will pervert this truth, we must still look to the scripture as our guide and the scripture makes it absolutely clear that there is a tangible element to the power of the Holy Spirit. I myself have experienced this in many instances. It's my prayer that you would experience this. There have been times when I'm praying that I can sense pulses of the Holy Spirit's power moving up and down my body. Sometimes it's when I'm praying, sometimes it's when I'm ministering. In fact, I have several stories of people being able to sense that power around me, not because of me, but because of who's around me. In fact, there was one instance where I was attending a Bible conference. I wasn't speaking at this Bible conference, I was just attending it. So I took my Bible and I placed it on a seat to hold my place. Well, I left that there and I went to go get a drink of water or something like that. And when I came back, there was this girl in our youth group who had my Bible.  And I'm thinking, okay, well, I put that on the seat to save my seat, but that's okay. So I graciously took it and said, well, thank you, I appreciate it. And she said, could I tell you something? I said, sure. She began to explain that when she picked up the Bible that I had left on the seat, that she felt like a tingly sensation come from the Bible and move up her arms. She said it felt like electricity. And she said it was a rush of something she had never felt before. That was the tangible touch of God. And that's just one of many stories that I could share with you about the tangible touch of the Holy Spirit's power. So we see it today. We see it in the scripture and I pray you would experience it now. Now let me say this, lest anyone become discouraged, our part is to have faith. God's part is to respond as He wills. He is sovereign. We can position ourselves to receive from the Lord, but only He really decides what we encounter. So I don't want you leaving this experience. If you don't experience what you want to experience by thinking that there might be something wrong with you or by thinking that perhaps there's some great spiritual assault on you that's keeping you from experiencing the touch of God. That's not really what's happening. In fact, it's just the sovereignty of God. But I do believe that there will be many who experience God's power right here right now. I want you to believe. Set aside negative thinking, set aside doubt, set aside cynicism, set aside the victim mentality that says, well, it was me. God never listens to me. Bad things only happen to me. Let's just focus on Jesus and let's position ourselves right now to receive from the Lord as He wills. And again, I believe that that power is going to begin to flow. In fact, I can sense it flowing even now. And I believe you're going to encounter the tangible touch of this power. Get ready.  Lift your hands. Think only about Jesus now. So, Father, I pray in the mighty name of your Son, Jesus, that that one receiving this prayer would experience the tangible touch of your power. Thank you, Jesus.  Others are sensing like an electricity. Others are sensing like a weight. In fact, there's also someone who's sensing like waves, almost like waves of water. I thank you, Lord. Many encounters will be different. Just say to the Holy Spirit that you want to surrender to whatever He wants to do. Father, I thank you. I thank you for this power now flowing. I give you the glory. Father, let them sense you in the room with them now. Holy Spirit, make your presence known. Touch them, I pray. Wow, this is beautiful. Touch them, I pray, Lord. I give you the glory for every encounter that's happening now. I give you the glory for every life being transformed in your presence. That power that is present here flow through my hands right through that camera and from any device that they're receiving this on. Lord, let it fill their room. Let it fill their homes. To touch their family, their loved ones, their children. Anyone present with them, anyone present in that household. Thank you for healing and delivering and setting free and empowering. Just close your eyes. Child of God, just close your eyes and think about Jesus. See Him seated at God's right hand now. Lightning flashes before Him. The I am. Eyes of fire. Hair white like wool. Face shining as the sun. Speaking with the voice sounds like many waters. He's reaching out to you now. Reach back by faith, receive that touch. I give you the glory, Lord. In Jesus' name, we pray. I want you to say it because you believe it. Say, amen.

For its next trick, MSI takes the GP66 Leopard, and transforms it into an absolute killer of a mobile computer, called the Vector GP66. We are not overestimating the device. After all, it comes with up to a Core i9-12900H, and up to an RTX 3080 Ti with a whopping 150 watts of TGP. Actually, MSI boasts a so-called overboost technology, which should allow the CPU and GPU to run at a total of 195 watts, 150 watts for the graphics card, and 45 watts for the processor. Presumably, this is the thermal efficiency of the cooling setup as well. However, we are yet to find this out in the review. First, let's check out the design. It is a combination of sleekness and aggression, which MSI somehow managed to marry into one good-looking package. In addition to that, the structure of the device is very rigid, with the base being resistant to both flex and keyboard bends. The laptop weighs about 2.4 kilos, which is a bit on the heavy side, but we can let it slide, considering the hardware it houses. In terms of input output, you get a total of three USB type S, a USB type C with DisplayPort output, a LAN port, and an audio jack. There are two more display outputs, in the form of an HDMI 2.1 connector, and a mini DisplayPort 1.4. Both of these ports allow transmitting 8K resolution at 60Hz which is great. Interestingly, this laptop comes with DDR4 memory, as opposed to the DDR5 used in other 12th generation Intel platforms. Thankfully, you can fit up to 64GB in dual-channel mode. As for the storage, there are 2M.2 PCI-EX4 slots, which fit generation 4 drives. You can take a look at our teardown video to see how to open the device. MSI Vector GP-66 in the configuration we tested has a 165Hz QHD IPS panel. It comes with a good contrast ratio, comfortable viewing angles, and super fast pixel response times. What is more impressive, however, is the fact that it completely covers the DCI-P3 color gamut. This results in a really vibrant and attractive image, and our gaming and web-designed profile improves the color accuracy so much that the display could be used even for professional work with colors. Unfortunately, you have to deal with a bit short battery life. We got more than 5 hours of web browsing, or 4 hours and 30 minutes of video playback, which is unimpressive, to say the least. Only 2 per 100 people watching this video are subscribers. If you decide to just start following us, we'll be able to reinvest more in our laboratory, thus making even more helpful videos for you. Thank you, you're awesome! You think that this laptop is a beast? Well, you are right. Especially if you see the configuration with a Core i9-12900H, and the RTX 3080 Ti. The brand new God of War PC game can be run at ultra graphics quality with 150 FPS on the RTX 3080. That was the last. Need for speed heat is also no match for this GPU, as it runs with 110 FPS at max settings, 1080p resolution. So, if you are willing to pay the small fortune this laptop costs, you will get one of the best gaming notebooks up to this date. Plus, it will come at a very reasonable form factor, which makes the deal even sweeter. Indeed, its battery life kind of sucks, but the ton of performance that comes with it should make it up to you. If you want to see the rest of the tests and more details about the device, you can check out our in-depth review. The link is in the video description below.


Welcome back. It's still the breakfast and plus TV Africa and this time around we'll be looking at the state of the nation the 2023 election and of course cause for interim government Founder and Chancellor a fair but by the law University of Ducati Abbot are a fair but by the law has called for the postponement of the 2023 general elections and the Introduction of a six month interim government after President Muhammad Buhari's tenure now the legal limnary said preoccupation of the interim government would be to Produce a new constitution that would tackle into charity economic political and other excruciating ills the devil and the nation now but by the law who spoke at the press conference in a Ducati wonder if the 2023 elections are conducted It will recycle the same crop of leaders who will plunge the nation further into bankruptcy Economic depression and the integrity a meanwhile the governor of email state hope was a dimmer has faltered the call for the interim Government to be put in place at the end of Buhari's tenure saying it will create Anarchy we have public affairs analyst or Lou Fermi Lawson and a legal practitioner James Ibo joining us on this conversation Good morning to you begin with Fermi Lawson. Good morning to you Fermi. Thanks for joining us on the breakfast on this particular discuss Good morning Yes, after Balala has been in the news for the past 24 hours for about two days now. He has said that The country should not Go for elections. I'm next here that if we went for the elections The same crop of leaders would be what we will be getting instead He has called for an interim government for six months Remember, we had an interim government sometime in 1993 in the wake of other You know elections that happened routine M. K. O'Bell and of course M. Tofa when Nigeria was actually in a state That's a most people didn't really like so bringing it back now to 2022 Do you think we've actually gone to that level where we need an interim government? Well as petrotic as the concerns of a chief of a Balala The truth is that the situation in 1993 Where we were under a military junta and now are quite different and for the country To experiment anything in the name of the term national government now They'd be a recipe for anarchy because no matter how Unpalatable the experiences of today are we are still operating the constitutional democracy And there is no way a democratic election election would create an interim government under this constitution What I would have expected from chief of a Balala and every other persons who are generally concerned about the current situation of the country Is to you know peak about how we can within the period That we have and now and the next election Walk towards you know getting you know a better Constitution which is possible and I think a lot of them are not actually taking their time to go through the recommendations Of the 2014 national conference held in this country I've taken my time over and over to read the outcome of that conference And I want to say that it is one of the branch documents that have been produced in this country and a lot of issues that have Being you know that are of concern in the current constitution We're well addressed in the resolutions of the national conference So both because of the failure of the leadership Failure of government to implement these recommendations We keep working around this field constitution and this is what is necessitating the kind of concerns that chief of a Balala is having But I would want to say that rather than suggesting an interim national government Which is going to be legger on constitutional? Why don't we look at using available resources? Available recommendations and of course other patriotic suggestions from patriotic Nigerians to get our constitution Worked on we got a perfect constitution really but we can start from some way Towards the election and by the time the next administration come about we can begin to improve on the lot of our Constitution but calling for an interim national government May not be it and it is not able to eat because it will lead us into anarchy All right family lawson so you know a lot of you know talks have Surrounded this issue of the 2023 election. So the there's a legal limit It's not the first person who has talked about cancellation. You remember when The general of a sea of the redeemed Christian church of God came out to say that God has not Revealed to him about the 2023 election. I will even had you on on using a comment on that But it is right now, you know, don't you think there's a bit of a reason to the effect that To what he said about having the same crop of our leaders there Some people have said they've been recycled to govern the Nigerian space Well, the truth is that the political Reality of the country is that if you bring two three major political parties to the fore today, there is nightly That wherever we emerge as candidates for God knows was president for even senator as a representative member People have traveled the cycle of our political parties. So ideologically There's a difference and even if we have an interim national government The operatives are not going to be brought from heaven There's two going to be people within the same society that is that has come so far Why do we continue to produce the kind of leaders that is afraid of it is because the system Allows even the best of the best to become, you know corrupt becoming effective become Inefficient the moment the commoner the system So even if you bring the best of hands to operate this system in the name of international government or whatever If we don't have an institution that will work and correct and put them into you know working in the line in line of the proper perspective They would turn that was and even the corrupt politicians that we are afraid of recycling in 2023 So I think we should be focused more not on those who are coming to occupy positions But our way as Nigerians can demand for Structuring of the system to the extent that even if you bring the worst of human beings The government of the park position he will operate and they will work efficiently But family loss and there's there's no way restructuring is going to happen Without, you know having the lawmakers the Constitution been looked at That's not going to be the case It's a good thing that you have made reference to the Comfort national Comfort of 2014 and the fact that that has not been implemented as a matter of fact The excuse starts giving us the fact that the interest was not entirely represented You know the argument is you really didn't have You know the sector of persons political parties or party being represented And that's the reason why that has stalled but let's also look at some of the consents that were raised in You know the issue the proposal that was being given by a fair Baba Lola He talked about the Constitution that has made it very lucrative for Politicians and political office holders and he he proposed that maybe we get to a point Or we have a legislative system that's a bad time and also have a non-executive Not really having maybe a president. What are your thoughts? These are is it I'm not I don't want to believe that there was any section of the country including the political parties Including the all-progressive congress which was in the opposition as at the time of the national convoy That were not represented at the conference. That is not totally correct But that's the argument but you but you would agree with me that that's the argument that's been put out No, that's that's not correct. They were all represented in the state of the apc Sent to the representatives it You know to the national it is not correct to say that we're not represented And even the party itself Admit that to the reality of restructuring And that is why it's considered in malam national verify No committee to look at the way, you know workability of the Debate for the attention for restructuring and that committee did a lot of work and even made recommendations To its own party That is in government So restructuring is not alien. It is not an issue that is not raised even the evidence itself, you know campaign nobody After assuming position power, you know consider the committee to discuss restructuring and the structuring is not Something that is so cumbersome and uh, you know, it's unachievable Restructuring is achievable within the context of the works that have been done in the past You see restructuring doubt Did not turn 14 national comfort report doubts more on the issue of our constitution A lot of the issues raised at the comfort were around the constitution So if this were implemented to a reasonable extent, I can tell you that we are almost having a new constitution By the virtue of the recommendations of the of the 2014 national conference. The truth is that No, so so there's no argument. There's no argument surrounding that but you were saying that the people would need to demand You know the need constantly demand that you have a review of the constitution demanding that that be changed And if you have a government No, I if you have leaders I mean if you have leaders if you have leaders that have refused And made several excuses as much as you have mentioned that you don't agree to it But these are some of the excuses that they have given that you didn't really have The interest of everyone being captured. And so how can the people now be demanding for constitutional review or adjustment of the process like you're talking about Without a constitutional review. How can this be? No The leaders Are not there by themselves or for themselves The truth is that if the demands are enough If the pressure is enough On the ruling class the truth is that they want no other choice Than to do the bidding of Nigerian The 2014 national conference was not given You know as a gift by the then administration of dr. Goodwill Jonathan It was as a result of demands by Nigerians the media the civil society The social political organizations are fenifereo and naysay, you know the middle It was a product of persistent demand by Nigerians So if we want a new constitution, no regime will give you a new constitution It is going to be given on the base of demand. And that's why I insist that Nigerians should continue Not that Nigerians are not demanding but Nigerians should continue to demand That we get our constitutional review not in the manner that this crop of national assembly Have been doing it but in line with Such that captures the aspiration of almost every sector of this country as represented During the national conference in 2014 And if they are not satisfied with that who can always raise a constitutional conference That we have representation of the mass cessation the labor movement the civil society media and every other interest group To work towards producing a workable constitution which will be you know ratified by the national assembly Because national assembly will also be involved Because the All right, uh, mr. Lawson uh, are you still there with us? Femme are you still there? The country does not must be able to decide how they want to be governed not How force people wish or how a few number of people in the executive wishes It is going to be on the basis of how the people want to be governed All right, uh, you know in the wake of all of this, uh, this call for interim government You know reactions have actually trialed, you know the development And uh the governor of emo state said them the constant is the country's constitution does not allow for an Interregnum, you know signal liars have actually reacted to that a fenifere also, uh, you know said in as much as uh, you know The the issues raised are genuine the issues of you know security the economic hardship Bankruptcy and all of that that the nation is headed towards It does not really support on the call for you know rescheduled elections But let's look at it from one angle now shouldn't the conversation be uh that of uh, you know Improving the lot of Nigerians improving the state of the economy the state of the nation that way If all these things are conceded would have we have like a continuum then come May 2023, um, there will be another set of uh administration or administrators who will govern You know the machinery of government shouldn't the focus be about them changing the status quo Changing the issues that we have, you know bedeviling the country at the moment No, it cannot be about that because the truth is that there's no way you can transform the economy Better the lot of Nigerians improve security or everything that says that I run today without addressing the roots Very the foundational issue There's a root cause for these problems and no matter how much more you try You know to get the economy work No matter how much more you try to secure the country If you don't have a system that will ensure the successes of all these attempts You keep you know moving around the circle without making any movement forward The truth is that most of the things that are wrong with us today are products of the inefficiency of our constitution Let's all stay security as an example Today if something is happening in your neighborhood Today, I'm very sure you have to rely on your cda Getting the bpu who may have to take order from the commission police in the keija or perhaps cp taking order from The igp in abuja before it can work We're talking about state police. These are constitutional issues. These are, you know We're talking about community policing. These are constitutional issues. The constitutional does not permit Our state to even provide security as it should So we consider having security look at the economy and economy where you know a lot of Issues that affect you and I the grassroot are determined from abuja because they are on the exclusive list There's no magic that can make the economy work An economy where your state is sitting on a lot of mineral resources But it cannot explore it because since it's within the powers of man in abuja It cannot work. So there's no magic that can better the lot of of the genius Except to get the institution Properly working except we get the constitution properly working along the line of the interests of the people So we are just doing trial trial and error because everything that we are doing that looks like it's working They are just magica What we make the agenda work is getting the constitution that would drive our institutions Getting our institutions being efficiently run by the virtue of not Who is there? It's not about bringing a man of integrity or a man of strong will to be president. It will not work What to make it work is the institution that is there to make him work? Which is not really me a family lesson shouldn't we be worried and concerned that you know An elder statesman as a fair babalola has lost You know trust in the electoral and democratic process And he's calling for this because he believed that This particular system or this particular. I mean the electoral process as it is cannot produce leaders that can change you know turn around the Economic situation of the country in his words. He talked about the fact that if this continues if we go on with this election What would happen is that we're going to have transactional leaders and You know recycled leaders who cannot do anything to change the the lots of the country shouldn't should we not be worried Also, recently, uh, you have a very reverend revered man of god Who talked about the fact that He's not head from god whether there's going to be an election or not So should we not be concerned with the fact that there's a trust deficit We should be worried and i'm as a person worried And a lot of the leaders are also worried and if you follow the trend The concerns raised by chifaba Have been raised by you know, a lot of Nigerians the leaders of our nasi and fairy fairing Middle berth even are aware all sort of groups have been raising concerns About the direction that the country is going especially as we move towards the election But we must be conscious of the fact that we are operating a constitutional democracy And we must avoid anything that will create room for anarchy I think the lesson we must take from the concern of chifaba babalala and every other patriotic Nigerians that are worried about the current state of the country Is that what can we make out of this? How can we use the little time we have to correct some even if not all Of this anomalies that are driving the country towards an edge That is all i think we should take out of the concerns of chifaba babala Not by yielding to the advice that we should go for an international government It may be A Was catastrophe But i think we must take lessons from their concerns especially from people like chifaba babalala Who have spent all their life working for the progress of this country who have done so much for humanity in this country We should be concerned about their concerns But it is not enough for us to conceive that we should go for an international government I think chifaba babala and every other patriot should have their voice You know to the fact that we need to get a Constitution that will work within the context of what we may not be able to convoke another national conference Between the next election we may not be able to convoke a constitutional conference between the election But we have enough time between our election to work and Implement some of the recommendations Of the 2014 national conference which dealt more about restructuring this country If we restructure Nigeria I can bet you that nobody would even wake up who asked for an international government because Would the constitutional state will be working and nobody will really be No, it would be so much concern All right, so if I got you right now, so if we were to review our constitution and bring about all of these Issues that have been talked about, you know restructuring and all of that would eat Um amount for better elections next year would it also amount to you know Getting of all those recycled leaders who have not actually, you know brought much benefits to the nation's economy Definitely, let me give you an instance So the local government elections are conducted by states in Nigeria And you really realize that the just turn out leaders who are on peak People were not really voted for by the people part of the recommendations Of the 2014 national conference was to take away the power of To conduct the local government election away from the state You know and a lot of issues that's unnervely Recommendations will address issues of state police is there issue of, you know The control of mineral resources that will empower the state that will not make this pressure on Abudia to be this much And a lot of issues that will address You know, some of those things that will be used as campaign manifestos by these politicians in the next few months If the administration could pick Some critical aspect of the recommendations or implementation ahead of the election It will reduce the pressure. It will also guarantee that Nigerians become so conscious enough that they don't elect, you know any out leaders who will come and You know make not make life better for them So it is very key that we talk about getting the country to work Rather than getting no Not leader would drop from heaven If we continue to produce leaders even the type that chief of the things should be in charge They will not operate successfully under this constitution But if you look at it, I mean the the I mean some of the argument is put out or the Proposal that's put out is not necessary about uh, the leaders. He's talked about the component of our system I mean some part of our system for instance, you talk about the Kind of legislative system that we run that is very flamboyant and he's saying that let's run the system Where we have a part-time legislators and you don't have to have them over full scale That's so we're able to manage our resources where these legislators would not have to end salary, but they can actually earn allowance It's it's it's it's not a bad idea You see all these are just issues around the fact that we claim to be practicing federalism But not through federalism. We claim to be practicing a system Where It is not operated in line with the details of the system itself If we operate through federalism If you operate a system where you know politicians in Abu Dhabi do not see themselves as alpha and omega You know politics would even become less to preach it to the extent that you will not even be so much interested in going there Talk less of getting such bogus allowances It is because we have made this so lucrative because of this The constitution that we operate that gives so much power and resources to a very few that everybody wants to be there to You know keep taking this money if we restructure along the path, you know of regional Authorities or state authorities Where legal state can determine What allowances is playing playing this legislator and for example, I can also determine its own where there will be no revenue allocation formula that mandates states, you know a local government to pay specific amounts You know for certain persons if Constituent unit can determine what they pay what they can afford People who are coming to work as legislators or as governors I can tell you that a lot of people will not even be interested in being part of the You know jamboree at the looping spree, but I can only be enshrined in the country So we all stay buzzed out on the restructuring the system And it is not just about the crop of national assembly member or legislators or executive It's about the entire system if you go to the civil service There are people who earn more money who take more money even than the politicians that we are afraid of What do we do to that after restructuring or after after constitution and the entire national government Do we stop the civil service also Where a lot of monies have been stolen under so many guises So we must be interested in addressing the root cause Not just these the symptoms He sounded for Second that you were talking about the civil servants ending this money more like it's what their Salary and allowances or allowance would be but you have talked about the issue of corruption Which makes a lot of sense So moving forward, what would you say should be the way forward? I know we have talked about it in all of this for you the response has been providing Solution but generally how do we even approach this for me? The big question here is you say we constantly have to demand before how long can we continue to demand that we have A constitution that reflect the interest of the people Freedom comes so cheap if you look at the issue of most independent nations They were not What was gotten on the platter of one or two agitations? It took a lot of countries centuries It took some decades before they could get to where they are today Our democracy is just about 20 something years this republic and I think I don't think we have gone too far You know or endured too much that we cannot continue to demand for a better society I think enough has not been done as far as our demands to get Nigeria What is concerned we must continue to do more just like you have been doing in the media Just like the citizens have been doing the politicians will not May not be keen interested in some of these things we are saying because they're the biggest beneficiaries But we have a larger community of Nigerians in the civil society the media in the shesha culture and shesha political organizations who can continue to mount pressure and Governize support locally and internationally to get This system work and we should not be tired of doing that. I don't think we have done enough So if you say how long I don't think There's any time limits that we should be interested in doing We must continue to do this and I'm very sure that as we continue to do this We were earlier, you know, where so many policies of government became, you know Organized we adjusted because of the persistent demand from Nigerians Who says that by the virtue of our pressure continuous demand And I'm sure we will not wake up and say let us listen to Nigerians. Let us amend this constitution So we should not keep quiet because the moment we keep quiet the battery is lost All right, thank you so much I'm firmly lost in public affairs analyst for the thoughts that you have shared on this particular issue It's my pleasure All right, moving away from that one still to come when we return from this quick break the baby bonus Vessels at You know silent generation. We're looking at our parent in them. How should it be done? In a moment, stay with us
