Good afternoon. We're going to go ahead and get started on this session. I'm Rick Loos. I'm Rick Carl Dratt. And I want to begin just by saying we've already, my chief technology officer, and I've had a bit of a dialogue back and forth, even over the term maker space in library. I think this suffers the same limitations. If you're talking to a scientist and you're talking about applied versus theoretical science, it doesn't quite connotate, perhaps, the field one is working in. So with that, let me dive in. But ask you to think about what we're talking about slightly broader than the literal maker space definition. So I want to start by just very quickly highlighting what I've received from my provost, what all the deans have received as essentially provost goals. So everything we're doing, we're trying to tie back to the provost goals to make sure we're spot on in terms of alignment organizationally. So we're focused on student success. We're focused on faculty impact. We're focused on community impact. And we're focused on the brand equity of the University of Oklahoma. Pretty straightforward. I have to be able to rationalize everything we're doing and tie where we're going strategically back to this. I think it's actually pretty easy to do. We developed our strategic document in advance of the provost, but it maps pretty well. We have a couple key, what I call pillars, that we're trying to align ourselves to. The first I would say is really trying to transform the physical and the virtual spaces and experience of the research library at OU. The second is to take advantage of some extraordinary special collections and really bring those to life. Thirdly, to aggressively support campus research and data stewardship in the institution. This was invisible several years ago. And so to really rapidly wrap up an effort in that regard. Fourthly, to chart a new role for the library and the institution in terms of creating some synergies there to enable new forms of scholarly communications. And then we'll do that through strengthening the skills and capabilities of our organization. So everything, again, we're doing fits under that category. That lines up to the provost, and everything is good. We've had some activity going on in the last couple years. I've been at the University of Oklahoma just about a hair over 3 and 1 half years now. Carl joined me after I'd been there for about six months or so. This is a photo of our new Collaborative Learning Center. So physical renovation, another photo of the new Collaboration Center. I'll have to say, when I arrived at the university, my president shared with me his nightmare, which was I worried that before I leave or shortly after, that students will simply stop coming into the library. We've dramatically been able to change that. It's now the activity hub of the university, as it should be. Created in Digital Scholarship Laboratory, primarily for faculty and graduate students, with the physical spaces has obviously come the need to fill that with human knowledge. So we've had to recruit new skills, new people, and talents, and then bring digitized collections into these spaces. So that takes us to the innovation edge, or eye edge for short. This is, again, one of the new spaces. It's a very, very small space, maybe an eighth of this room, very, very small, but an example of one of the new kinds of projects that fits under our transformation initiative. So the space is located in our main library on the main floor. It's a combination of maker space, fabrication space, classroom, seminar room. It's a laboratory in many ways. It's a showcase in some ways of a new kind of work, creative work that we want to draw magnetically students into the space. So it's got glass, it's got the kinds of things that students, as they walk through the library, are just sort of drawn to what's the vibe going on over there. It's an experimental space. So when I think about laboratory, for me, that's a connotation always of the place to experiment. This is very much a place to experiment with what we're doing with software and interacting with faculty, interacting with students, and so forth. And we're continually programming, partly through matrix of library professionals that spend some time in that space, and partly through student volunteers who are programming classes all the time. So students can come in and learn how to do a variety of different things as a way to build engagement and activity in the center. It's open to everybody. It's been swamped with undergraduates. We're attracting in a variety of ways faculty members to come in. We've had a program to get some of the, in fact, all the deans eventually into the space. I've been bringing donors into the space. And so it's been very exciting to show them sort of where the new library is moving. So why innovation at the edge? If we think about our roots, where we come from, clearly books, manuscripts, paper represented the way that knowledge was embodied. There are tools for creating and conveying knowledge. And now we need to think about how a library building and space and digitized materials really do the same kind of thing. So innovation laboratories in many ways are just another embodiment of a space and a function, a utility almost, that creates new forms of knowledge. And so that's what we're really trying to extend and understanding through our community with this. Why innovation at the edge? There's a quote from ACRL, but really the idea of bringing this activity into the library. If we think about a learning center, that would span the gamut of everything you do from solitary study through collaborative work, everything you do from theory to application. So pretty obvious, I think. What are some of the tools used in the space? And I'm gonna hand that over to Carl and ask him to pick up the thread there. Yes, maker spaces frequently have all a wide range of activities. However, we've kind of focused our space on visualization and the pieces that support visualization of information. So we teach microcontrollers, we've got our Duinos and we run classes in these and we have all kinds of sign up for this class and people show up. And so they're learning how to use ASINs, they're learning how to program them. It's very low barrier to entry, it's low cost for us to provide. We have instructors that sign up and help us run these classes. And it supports reproducible research. So we're teaching, particularly undergraduates, that this is part of how we teach reproducible research, building the circuit, being able to document it in order to show this is what I did and I wanna be able to give you the capability to reproduce it. We do a lot of 3D printing, obviously, because this is an obvious piece of visualization. And so we've got a number of different types of printers in there, we found the law is about to be much better than the maker space. And again, that's for the physical expressions of virtual information. I like this quote, I thought it was very appropriate, we're working with NASA quite a bit because they've been very intrigued by some of what we're doing, I'll show you why that's the case in a bit. But I like the statement that 3D prints and visualizations reveal important previously unknown information and provide new means for conveying complex ideas. And that certainly seems to be true. So we'll show you a case of that in a little bit. We also have an informatics person in the lab. So one of the things we do there, we've contracted with our IT group, he's actually normally paid entirely by grant money and he's assigned to grants, but we have purchased 20% of his time to support informatics on our campus. And what we're really aiming at with this gentleman is to focus on those people that are 80% of the researchers that aren't dealing with big data sets, they're just trying to do their projects and their research, and he's there to assist them with their IT needs. We find the challenge on our campus and I'm sure it's not unique is that many times these people go to IT, IT's talking about megadatabets and sizes and information and programming and they don't really accommodate the needs of the small researcher. So that's what we're trying to do with this guy and so far this has been very successful. We also became members of Software Carpentry Institute. Have you all heard of Software Carpentry Institute yet? If you haven't, be sure to find out about it. It's a great program that's going on and it teaches low-level programming skills and very compact courses. Most of these courses can be run in two days. We've got a number of our team now certified by Software Carpentry Institute. We became a member of the Institute. We can be certified as teachers and instructors and so we have a wide range of librarians and IT people that have now learned to become Software Carpentry instructors so they can teach courses and they can help instruct others in how to become instructors. So this has really been cool. You can go to their Software Carpentry website and you can find all about. They've got a number of workshops that they offer that we can repackage and offer out. We have a place on our website where people can go and sign up for courses and so they do. They just, it's open to the public as well as our faculty and staff. So people sign up, we have everything from kids show up to researchers. It's great. And they all learn from each other. It's really, really fascinating. We've also just stepped into the world of data carpentry. They branched out Software Carpentry Institute and now doing what's called data carpentry which has been dynamite. Because again, what we're teaching researchers is how do you do data management? How do you do a data plan? How do you file down all these details and they have a whole host of workshops they can run and they're offered out. We can run them and teach and do these things inside the library. And so again, it brings people from all over the campus into those collaborative learning centers that you saw Rick show pictures of a little bit earlier and get them setting their working together on how do you do this. One of the other things we've done in the edge is hooked up one of these units with an iPad so that we can go out and scan units. So if we don't find an image on the web that we need for a person to do what they're working with we just stick an iPad in their hand tell them to go find it and scan it and then bring it back in and load it on the system. Again, we remind them to stay within copyright but in doing this we've found them quite versatile. They'll go out and scan all kinds of stuff and bring it into the lab to work with. So this is our oval station which we built and designed inside the library and it's actually pretty clever. If you've worked with VR sets at all you know once you put these things on you're waving your hands around quite a bit, right? So if you're standing right next to somebody and you're waving your arms around, bam! Right in the lab.  So these are actually designed to be built in pods of four. This is a starting unit we started with, it's two but these are now being put in all over the campus. And so these are really fascinating. So it's called Oval. It's the Oklahoma Virtual Academic Laboratory and it involves a lot of software that we've started developing on top of the Unity software. It's gaming software underneath but it's applied to education. It's network analysis. So what that means is that we can hook these units together on the web. And so we can have one setting here or we can have one setting in a lab across the campus. I'll show you some instances of this in a minute. And the instructor can actually be standing in their office running these sessions. We can hook them all together because they're choosing the gaming software. It's made to do that from the beginning and they can run the class pointing out to the student all the things they want them to see. You can remotely load 3D models. I mean, if you go out on the web you can find a lot of 3D models floating around for you to work with and that's great. But if you want to run them on the Oval then you've got to put it on a stack and bring it in. No, not really.  We give you a place to put it and when you come in it will already be setting on the menu for you, waiting for you to use it. So that's been very popular. Now let's see if I can get this to run here. One of the problems with running this in this mode. When we talked about the Oval it was 360 degrees of interactive content. You can look in any direction and then in that. I'm sorry, I'm trying to get the volume up for you. Away, you can open it up from any side. But the Oval platform does is that it provides that immersive environment where the students can look around and they can see details in their models. But most importantly, they understand spatially what is actually going to be the impact. If you look at the hemoglobulin molecule on a computer it's not really easily grasped though, I mean. But oxygen is really hidden inside an iron molecule also hidden deep inside. So when you look at it through a VR you can really dive into the iron molecule and oxygen molecule can realize where they are located at. So using the VR really helps students understand what's happening to oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. It's just amazing using the Oval software for my classes because there's a difference between seeing these words written on a page and then seeing the objects they're talking about right in front of you there that you can interact with and look at and move around in real life. With the regular way that we look at manuscripts we look at them on the screen, we're separated from them we can have it in a different space and we move them around with a mouse. Suddenly if I can move into a space inhabit that space with the manuscript I can move within its couple pages and experience them with a grandeur that the manuscripts actually command when you're in their presence. Today you can upload your 3D model or asset with the library website, walk into the edge with your co-researcher or student or classmate and you can fly through that data set and then export screenshots used for publication or presentation down the line. So you can say it's really cool stuff that's going on there and the professors get quite excited but at the professor that Dr. Anders who did the manuscripts had drawn to Ireland and taken 70 photos of each page with different filters we uploaded all that in and combined it together and now you can actually fly right into the top of the page at such a close dimension that you can determine where the ink has flicked off the page so now he can go back and say that should be this color even though it's missing he can now reconstruct the pages and tell us exactly what a page would have looked like originally he could have never done that without this kind of tool in his hands and he's so excited by it as you can well tell in that video he's thrilled with what we're now able to do for him so we're forming partnerships all over the campus and let me show you a few of these College of Architecture you saw them walking in that video through some of their models that professor is wonderful she was telling us the story about she used to take her architecture students down to a big empty parking lot on our research campus get cardboard boxes and have them build their housing models out of cardboard and now they bring them off of the model that they designed on stick it on our oval sit down and walk through their buildings and they're finding out they put a banister in the wrong place or they put an overhead beam in a place where it's backing them in the head or all kinds of problems that they wouldn't have seen any other way and they didn't have to go down to an empty parking lot and put it together with a bunch of cardboard so she was so thrilled she actually sent us a note saying I'm sitting in my desk crying because this is so cool and I can now do it's a wonderful message so yeah, she's been a loyal supporter they're now buying an oval to put in their own college Kendall Bielkin you saw him talking about the oxygen chemical at the middle NASA we've been talking with them quite a bit they're very interested in putting in an oval in their shop down in Florida English department of course Dr. Anders we were talking with him Sam Noble History Museum on our campus is planning on doing an oval College of Law is already in the process of installing an oval and the law they're going to do crime scenes what they're working on so they'll be able to take people jurors, potentially in the future and actually walk them through a crime scene and actually see it not have to look at photographs but to actually be able to walk through and reconstruct the crime on a crime scene and the College of Engineering is planning on it as well they've got all kinds of ideas over there so the innovation hub the innovation hub is also going to be a place that we're going to put one of these and you haven't heard about the innovation hub but this man's going to tell you about that so the innovation hub a space about two miles south of where the main library is down in our research park we have the blessing of being relatively in close approximation there's a variety of buildings down in the space but for people on campus psychologically this is always too far two miles is too far so we've had this question we're real excited about the space this is initially on essentially what will be the ground floor here of this building and in the research park about 20,000 square feet it's been totally gutted and renovated and we're going to be taking for the library piece of this again matrix that work in the edge and part of their hours will also be down at the innovation hub so one way to think about this is the edge which we just saw is sort of a window into this larger space 20,000 square foot space with very serious maker spaces, very large equipment so you could get started in the edge and then we need to scale this up take it down to the research park again open to everybody lots of different expertise available we have a learning collaborative learning space in this area so very much like what you'd heard about but what I think is interesting for me about this space is it's not owned by anyone it's co-owned by the OU libraries by our CIO for the university our vice president for research the dean of the price business college the dean of the college of engineering so the five of us essentially are if you will 20% owners and we are collectively figuring out a model about how this will be staffed how it will be shared and we have complimentary services in this space so for example the library is not going to be running the very high end space with the big saws and the very large printers and the metal works and all of that but it's adjacent to the kind of space we're working with visualization it's adjacent to the school business which has a whole entrepreneurial program with students that are in and out of there all the time so these things really start to become complimentary and flow together so the geographic dispersion we've got a two mile zone here we're located up in the center of campus what was the center of campus as is information technology the vpr office research office is down another building adjacent to the building I just showed you College of Business and the engineering college are all up in the center campus so there's been a lot of talk about how do we get people to make this two mile traversal even though there's acres of parking research facilities and so forth there's no way to do that so part of what the edge does is it allows again, back in the main library it allows people to have a window into what's possible to get drawn in, perhaps to have a class to get excited enough I'm ready to go to the next level it's worth my energy to figure out how to traverse the two miles what I've been dreaming of and talking with Carl I literally want a high definition screen connected all the time no software intermediation just stand up to a screen, life size high definition signal to really have that very tightly coupled together so the edge and the hub two different locations interlinked again, another view of the building the space the library has is in this area here engineering and these things sort of flow together around a large corridor so relative to what we're used to working with a large amount of space compared to what we have available in the Bissell Library it will get eaten up quickly our long term plan is to occupy the entire building all three floors and to start to induce the private sector to come into this innovation space with us as a place where they can begin to showcase some of their work they've got access to our students we've got surrounding the research park we've got a variety of businesses that have sprung up so we really think that this is going to be kind of a natural point of synergy and right in the middle of what we want to be so the opening is scheduled for May space that when this photo was taken still being built out here's some of the makerspace we also have as a way to start to market this space and communicate what we're doing we said let's get a trailer and start driving it around the state fair we'll take it to the high schools for part of our recruitment process we'll get the faculty in there to start to understand what's going on etc and so can't do a lot in there but it's a beginning of what is 3D printing and again what is it why would I want bench facilities and so forth so this has become a great kind of marketing and advertising way to get to get a dialogue going which is part of what we've been trying to do over this last year so the big question and I think really the CNI community question is well that's cool how do you really scale this and when I talk about scale and pose the problem I'm really asking the question about how does A-Node in a large network of research organizations scale things up in a way that we can really start to interact with one another so again I'll pass this back to Carl we have a tough question part of what you have to know and I know he's not fond of the term maker space but it is the term that is widely used and gives us at least a handle on the growth that's going on in this area so if you look at these charts you can see these things are growing like crazy that they're popping in all over the place and if you look at the geographic locations across the entire United States that they're being put in so these are very popular some of them are in libraries some are from other kinds of facilities some are stand alone that they're popping up all over the place so our thought is alright this is a typical day at the edge not at all unusual to find it packed like this and so we've got a scaling problem already I mean given the space we've got and even with the innovation that's coming on it's been two miles away how are we going to scale these things well part of what we've done is put up a website that really allows people to interact with an awful lot on our website so if you go to the innovation at the edge website we are sharing a code there we've got our students working with us there we've got our teams working off of the space we've set up a GitHub site where we're sharing some of the code we're working on some of the things we're doing and so this is all being done in support of the edge and the oval and the hub and so these are working sites where we bring a lot of people together you can sign up for all the classes that I've mentioned so far on this website and so that gets people started and underway but we have lots of challenges and so that's part of what we want to talk about in the scaling right so with space and equipment they're difficult but they're not impossible you can always find space and equipment if you work at it hard enough what gets more challenging is sharing the people the space the expertise and collaborating across wide geographic areas we think we have an interesting sandbox at OU just because we've got one or two miles from the other one and we've got a popping up bits and pieces of the lab popping up at other buildings on the campus so how do we hook it all together well as I mentioned we think we've got this good sandbox we've got the innovation edge we've got the innovation hub they're both going to have oval stations in them and we want to be able to set it up so the professor, the instructor, the teacher can set in this classroom and his office and run a session and we've done that so that can actually be done today and we're already having that happen and so there's no reason that we couldn't hook in other labs all run the countryside when we're running classes and the same thing would be true of you using this kind of technology if you're running classes then we could tap into yours and that way we can begin to share expertise and collaborate together in some really interesting and useful ways this is what Rick was talking about a moment ago that I'm desperately searching for he's described as saying this is what he wants, a virtual station where people can walk up and instantly talk to somebody who's at the hub from the edge they want to be able to have a conversation maybe it's the College of Engineering the only place I can even remotely find some technology like this is on the Microsoft site and it's not for sale yet so if you all know of any place that actually has some technology like this where you can walk up to it and start talking to somebody and be like let me know because I'm trying to get this man off my back the other thing we've done to scale up our lab is to do a touchdown service using my team now I've got one of the largest groups of employees in the library and I've asked all of them to take and spend four hours a month I don't care whether they're a catalog or a web designer I don't care who they are I've asked them to go to the edge and spend an hour of being at the edge why did they do that well there were several things that I was hoping to resolve one, I'm trying to provide coverage I just want to make sure we've got a warm body in there and be able to oversee the lab but the other thing I was really hoping for was that they would learn about the new technologies themselves how do you use the library how do you use virtual reality how do you go to the microcontroller how do you do software carpentry and it's really been fascinating I know Rick's had some conversations with my team members some of them are absolutely thrilled that they've been forced to do this they weren't at the beginning they are now they were actually quite enthusiastic because they're learning things about themselves some of the most positive remarks have been from some of the women who've actually signed up and taken the classes because they're immersing themselves in a highly technical environment and they're succeeding like crazy and they're feeling really good about it it's a great thing to see happen they also get a chance to interact with end users Knowledge Services is largely behind the scene at OU we're not the public facing for the most part of the organization but this actually puts them out there where they're now interacting with end users helping them learn how to use a 3D printer showing them how to use virtual reality and so that's been a really positive experience plus with the new technology they're hearing new ideas emerged so we've seen some really interesting opportunities come out of that and I'm hoping that they're going to find new opportunities that they're going to bring back to us and say you know what I heard this interesting idea and then we can follow up on it and we often do we advertise their skills on a whiteboard in the lab and we also are starting to market them out ahead of time these people all have skills metadata skills of course a lot of these people are catalogers web designing if they want to build a website so when we post their time that they're going to be in the lab we also post one of their primary skill sets and then people can sign up to come and talk to them about that part of what they did not just what's happening in the edge but I've got a website I'm trying to build or I've got to come up with some metadata description of this object I need help and these people are now interacting directly with those users and they feel the box of teeth so that's been pretty cool we've also had a really interesting thing start to happen where the lab has actually caused a reversal of roles we have found out that we're learning from the students as much as they're learning from us so here was an interesting example we have a 3D printer breakdown 3D printers you know they break down all the time at least once a week so we've got four of them and we're running them all continually but we have one breakdown our staff looked at it they tried to fix it and they couldn't do it and the student walked in and he looked at it for a little bit and he said I think I can fix it and then he did something really bright he printed the part that was broken on another printer and then put it down pretty cool so you see this role reversal we had another student walk in and say you know I just automated my house I was just hanging apples on an echo would you like me to teach a class on how to do that and we were like yeah someone do it you know and so this sort of this trend where we have got students not only teaching classes but volunteering to staff the lab they're thrilled to be in there this is their technology training software 3D printers and so we're actually in many instances becoming the students and they're becoming the instructors and it's really cool so we came up with the idea to try and recognize them so I've set up three levels of community memberships so a community member is just somebody we award him a certificate but basically they're people that volunteer and we'll keep them on the website listed as a community member and when they move past OU we'll graduate or whatever we're going to put them on the past support page on the website if you go up a level we have what we call a community builder community builder is someone we've taken the software carpentry course in pedagogy and one of my digital scholarship specialists has condensed that down to a two hour course now you don't get software carpentry certification for how to teach so that if you're going to run classes in the lion you have some idea what you should be doing how to teach it again we do the same kind of thing we award him a certificate from the website all of them sending ideas but what they've done is taken a pedagogy course and they are now in our mind certified to teach on a regular basis and then we've got community leaders and the community leaders are those people that we know we can call on we do demos frequently when we have surprise guests who want to have a tour of the edge I'll call on one of our volunteers because again they know that it's going to be really well and they're happy to do it and again we ask them to take a course in pedagogy and the next layer is that they've trained other students in how to do demos and all of that so we're building these layers giving them certificates the bookstore on campus gave us a stack of $25 gift certificates we hand them out for people to even take courses teach courses do these awards we've got great support on the campus we also have just this one we haven't done yet but it's all planned it's going to happen one of the things we're trying to do with all these volunteers is give them a pathway to a job they all want jobs right they're volunteering so what we've done is part of our software carpentry courses we've actually now set up a social at the very front of it a lunch social and we use the software carpentry workshop and what we do is offer pizza and drinks we have researchers come in on the campus that are willing to come and talk about what are your research projects what are your needs, what problems do you have where could you use some help they get up and do that and then we have the volunteers get up and do it on the outage what are they learning and do it and so again we try and create this intersection where we call them researchers and we don't tell anybody anything but we just say hey you all need to be aware of each other because we think there's some interesting possibilities and so the researchers can hire and just map off a specific task maybe they take them on and do some other things plus it couples the students that are researchers in a meaningful way and they get to experience research at a much higher level than they would normally so we think it's going to be interesting we haven't really fully tested this idea out but we'll move it forward if it all works out then that's another reason for other volunteers to want to work on the edge on the hub the other thing we've got going right now is we've applied for a night news challenge we've got an engineering student who really loves the edge he's about to graduate when he graduates he wants to work in the library but he would love to work in the edge he would like to bring his engineering skills and put him to work in the edge so we applied to the night foundation and said hey we've got an idea we want to put an engineer in our lab and make him a real one we've got a college of engineering who wants to put it in an oval they want to go off they have that kind of expertise universities would do the same kind of thing then we're going to start kind of all together we're not working together in ways that will allow us the webinars, Skype, whatever to offer consultation, advice teach courses together that's how I hold we can all start averaging off of each other in ways that are very collaborative very cooperative so shared expertise we can do that we can move forward in some really really neat ways okay one of the things we really are dealing with at the library right now that's quite challenging though is we're creating a whole lot of new types of content and data virtual reality, we're bringing in research data sets we transform that in order to display it on the VR sets while that whole transformation process then has to be documented exactly what happened how do we record that documentation so it can be part of the publication research process lots of challenges there we've got to capture all this data once we've built these VR sets of images we have to storm away some way we've got to organize, put the metadata on and make them accessible so others can find them, there's no reason I shouldn't make them accessible to all of you to use if they would fit your workers needs and again I'm hoping you'll do the same thing in reverse we've got to network all this stuff together maybe that's using existing repository structures maybe we have to do something new there we're not quite sure I think there's a clear need for some standardization it doesn't exist yet today so we're going to have to work on trying to start standardizing a lot of this stuff and then that'll facilitate a sharing of course we want to federate it all together so it has to improve the access findability of it all and long-term preservation and archiving I was at the preservation archiving conference in Prague a few weeks back and I pointed out to people we've done a whole lot of work with VR but a lot of it's sitting in the cloud Unity software hooks up to a Unity application running in the cloud, how do we preserve that we don't have a copy of what's running in that Unity server back home in their cloud we're not going to give it to us and so we don't know what the network's going to look like in five or ten years so even if I capture the data set and I've got this great image file how are we going to replay it five years from now to show what we did and how we're moving forward we've got Oculus Rift we're all running on development kits right now the new ones just came out we'll all be buying them shortly I'm sure where do we put all this stuff that we did with the development kit it's significantly enhanced in the new one we've got a lot of stuff that we already need to start capturing to document the history of virtual reality which I think is here to stay and taking off a lot of work for us to do there and we're going to have to do a collaborative so the question is of course how are we going to do that and one of the things that we're trying right now is we work with the console library and information resources and we've created a postdoc position that will be focused on this and so right now we're interviewing candidates for this job and we're going to hire somebody and bring them in for two years and focus them on how do we take research data how do we couple of virtual reality how do we preserve all this what's the infrastructure we need to build in order to make that possible and start putting that framework together I'm sure in two years we won't be able to flash it all out but we'll get a good one to start we hope so that's what we're doing as a starting starting point on that part of it okay one of the questions that we knew people were going to ask when we did this presentation was how much money have you spent doing all this wow it looks like you've won a whole bunch of money here right well actually not as much as you think innovation at the edge which we put together for $49,000 and we did it in three and a half months we took a room in the library it was a staff room had windows facing the main aisle on the main level of the library and we convinced the students that they wanted to go to another spot and we took that over we repainted it we put in some signage we moved in all that equipment we built those virtual reality stations and that's what we spent that's our staff time but that's our actual so it's not bad now the innovation at the hub will be a little more expensive oh he tells me it's $5,000 no five minutes oh five minutes that's a big cost over all right anyways that's been underway for two years I know I've been whispering since I got to OU to him make sure he'd leave this kind of facility and it took a while to get traction and then he got a sign to the right person who made it happen so that was great okay lessons learned what have we learned well library team know and I'm sure you all experience this all the time you will have cave members colleagues against virtually everything they're going to be out there wasting money taking things away what are you doing no it's coming but you really can make a very strong case on how important this is when you watch the kids collaborating in the collaborative spaces this is a natural extension they want to take the ideas that they're talking about and then physically express them or virtually express them and a lot of the innovators on campus are doing this I can't tell you how many kids we've had a mock-up of advice they think they can sell and some of them started companies and they're actually selling off their websites GoPro camera holders just some of the weirdest things but wow when you look at it it's like that's really cool did you do that by yourself? yeah it's great there are other members who will embrace it and they are great because they help you support it and get it off the ground really you have to prepare your team because you even came out to the campus this may be a place I don't think we did this as well as we could but making sure for instance all your subject leaders know what you're doing and why you're doing it and getting up and marketing it I was in one professor walking to our edge and being able to tour and she was like do you know how I found out about this? she was standing in line versus the world of the Memorial Union by lunch and hearing the student ahead of her telling his girlfriend that he was going to a class at the library to learn how to do through the program and she was like I want to know how they do so I was like what is that library but the question we both asked when we came back was why aren't there subject leaders on the phone and so that's the problem they can't always assume they're going to do that unless we really arm them well push them out there and say please all the faculty about what we're doing we also have to convince them to embrace the opportunities a lot of people will come to you with ideas we've got a little brown scroll of ideas coming out but you have to learn to embrace those try and show them what's possible we're not trying to get in a service role here we're really trying to teach faculty how to use this technology and put it at their fingertips and then step away and let them go we want to encourage the use of this space so you don't want to put barriers in there a lot of times when I'm watching makerspaces I watch a lot of libraries put some pretty tight bear you got to pay for the material you got to pay for this certain times you try and avoid that we've really taken an open approach come on in we use the lowest cost filaments that don't have any odor and no obnoxious fumes in order to make it all very accessible we need to encourage everybody to work together in these labs and so we've seen a lot of that that's gone well for us but it's really important don't forget to get them all together and explain why you're doing this and how you're doing it remember to design scaling them from the beginning I think that's one thing we've done particularly well we started putting these platforms together we're always keeping in mind how we've laid out the hub and the edge the edge the name came from the hub the hub was a process long before we started the edge we're trying to build the connection to people's brain that's the main hub where you go to do this stuff this is the edge we'll get you started but we're going to push you towards the hub so even in the naming we've tried to support the need to scale and then of course you've got to share our views widely and far failures, what worked, what didn't work we've just done that here in this room in the last hour collaborate, collaborate, collaborate it's the only way to go so you're here I think that was a good example of us all trying to work together but don't hesitate to share back what you come up with in ways that we can build off of each other so that's the end and we can take some Q&A right there and there's the man who really helped us get the innovation hub off off the ground at OU okay, Q&A thanks very much for your interest today


Between Barbie and Taylor Swift, the era's tour, it's true what they say. Girls get it done. Taylor Swift's concert movie already bringing in tons of revenue, they had to add extra theaters, extra show times, it's a massive success, and it hasn't even been out for a week. But how was the movie? Well good news, I saw it. And I don't think anyone could be more qualified than the straight middle-aged white dude who does movie reviews on YouTube. What do you know? That's me. This review is really going to take this from two different angles. One, the movie itself, and two, the theatrical experience. When I graced the theater with my presence, along with my buddy and my 14-year-old daughter, I felt a little out of place. I felt a little detached from the room. It was, I'd say, 90% teenage girls and their moms. But I have to say this was a pretty fun crowd. This was a good time. There was a teenage girl who walked around the seats asking if we wanted some wrist bracelets. I declined. My daughter jumped right in, grabbed one, they were homemade. They were very well crafted. If I could do it all over again, my biggest regret was not accepting the bracelet. I should have taken it. I should have worn it with pride. My daughter got one though. She represented the family. I'm just not big on things on the wrist. I don't wear a wedding ring. I don't have any tattoos. I don't, I just, I don't do that stuff. It's not, it's not in my nature. It doesn't feel good to me. Right before the movie started, another set of girls went to the front of the theater. They took a selfie of the entire crowd. So somewhere on the internet, I'm there. I'm in, I'm in the mix doing this or doing this. I don't know what pose I made. It was dumb. I can assure you it was dumb. Now I was informed late in the game, meaning in the theater from someone else that Taylor Swift had posted out about the Eris tour movie and how she wanted it to feel like a concert experience, meaning she wanted people out of their seats dancing, holding up their phones and then doing the whole, you know, doing the whole thing. Anybody that knows me in my channel, that's a problem for me.   No, this is an experience that we're all sharing. Everyone's involved in the concert. Everyone's there together as a cohesive unit and that's completely different. I like seeing ladies night out go to the front side and start dancing halfway through the film. The little kids jumping up and down, singing along with the music. That was fun.   And I wait for her to say Taylor Swift.  Exactly. Not you, Taylor. Let's listen to her voice, but we moved past it. There was unfortunately a bit of a situation that did occur around the two hour mark. I'm going to save that for the end. So consider this a teaser to something more to come. It wasn't a great situation.  But let's talk about the movie a little bit. All right. So this is Taylor Swift, the heiress tour. It's an almost three hour film because it's the entire concert. I believe they filmed probably over a course of a couple nights. Maybe this is all from one night of, I really don't know how any of this works. I just know that it looked really good. Some beautiful camera shots. They're moving all the time, really playing with the music. There's like 40 songs, 40 plus songs off this thing. Now, anybody that knows me or who's been on this channel for a while should understand that I'm unapologetically into female pop music for every mega death song that comes on my playlist, every Metallica song, every Billy talent, every perfect circle or tool or nine inch nails. There will be a Taylor Swift. There will be an Olivia Rodrigo. There will be a Selena Gomez, a Kesha, a Carmen, an Ariana Grande, some Gwen Stefani in there. No doubt. So there was no doubt that I was hyped for this film, not probably as hyped as my daughter was. She's been looking forward to this for a long time. She has been to a Taylor Swift concert. Unfortunately, I couldn't go. My wife went with her back in the day a couple years back. So this is as close as I've been to her as in Taylor.  The camera is up in her business. She looks great. She sounds great. Music solid. You know, one of the pros and cons of Team Money, I call Taylor Swift Team Money for that one time only and never again, is that she has such a vast collection of great songs that you're almost going to be disappointed no matter what. Even after 40-some tracks, I felt like, um, where was Welcome to New York? Where was Message in a Bottle? How do you not play Message in a Bottle?   Taylor Swift's movie would be rated R if it was rated. I don't know if it actually, if they rate concert movies, but she drops F-bombs several times in it in songs.  So it's funny that the Taylor Swift movie would be rated R. And it was even more funny watching little kids sing along to it and self-censor. They get to that part in the lyrics where they know the F-bombs gonna get dropped and they just shut their mouth for a second and then move right past it. But far funnier are the little kids that do say the swear word. I ate that up. That was hilarious.  It's good stuff. My daughter did sing a little bit, but it was tough to get out words with the uncontrollable crying she was doing. She was absolutely in heaven here. She was on my shoulder three or four times, just overcome with emotion. She was so excited. Now I will say this as well. Taylor Swift seems like one of the nicest people on the planet. I don't care who you are or what's your beliefs or what's your, you know, what, who cares? She just seems like a genuinely nice, good person. And when you're at that level making that much money, that's a rare thing. That's a rare thing. And I'm happy for her. And that she's achieved so much success, not just from her peer talent and hard work ethic, but just from being a good person. And man, do I really hope this doesn't age poorly in a couple weeks or months or years for that matter. When we find out Taylor Swift's actually been eating babies that she's been housing in a freezer over the course of her lifetime. That's how she keeps her youthful glow. No, I think she's a good one.  I pay that $23 a month or whatever it is. And I can see unlimited films in the box office. It's an amazing deal actually, especially when they rip you off at a normal price point of like 12 bucks a ticket. So 23 bucks for the month, forget about it. It's perfect. Unfortunately, a concert movie isn't covered. This is a $21 or $22 movie experience per person. So I spent $40 some dollars just on two seats alone. And that's what the big question is. Does this warrant $40, $50, $80, $100? You know, by the time you buy four tickets and some snacks at the concession, yeah, you're dropping well over $100 on this bad boy. They're trying to pretend it's a concert. Does this make up the concert experience? Does it match it? Hell to the know it doesn't. At least not in my theater. Would I have spent the $20 again?  I enjoyed it. I did enjoy it. I thought it was a good time. Would I have gone so hard into the folklore section of music? No. No, I wouldn't have, Taylor, because quite frankly, I think your COVID two-disc thing sucked. Didn't care for that era. Didn't like the artsy, folksy stuff. One or two songs fine, but she went like five or six deep. That's too long when you got songs sitting on the sidelines that everybody loves. Way too long to spend on folklore. Folk bore. Folk snore. Regardless, if you like Taylor Swift, if you love her music, 20 bucks, 22 bucks, it's worth it. It's absolutely worth it.  I really hope some people get a really good theater when they watch this movie. Big IMAX screen with Dolby surround sound pumped up. Maybe they got a fog machine in the room, some laser lights. Really take it up a notch. My Regal, the screen was decent size. The music was far too low though. I don't want to hear Becky and her friends singing the song.  If I'm supposed to be in a concert, make me believe I'm in a concert. As it stands, it was just a concert of a movie that I wish I was at. That's kind of the feeling I got. You got to really bring us into that environment and this does not go far enough to do that. I don't blame the movie though. It's the fault of the theater not accommodating. Then again, I remember back in the day when George Lucas forced theaters to upgrade their sound system. If they wanted to play his Star Wars, I think Taylor Swift has as much pull as he does.  I want that sound system blasting my music or you're going to go down in flames. Overall impression of the Taylor Swift, the heiress tour. It was a very fun experience, an incredibly memorable one based on the audience I was with. This is a film that could go very much either way though. You have to tread lightly. Know what you're getting into. These are packed theaters. You could have a terrible crowd that's very intrusive, interrupting everything, making it about themselves. Or you could have an experience more like mine where yes, you have people doing the phone thing, but they're really interacting with the film itself. They're taking photos, but they're keeping the brightness down. It was very respectful except for one woman. Of course, it's the woman sitting right in front of me with her son that she's neglecting for most of the movie until I stepped in.   Brightness, I'll give her 20% brightness. I'll give her 20. At times, it's at full because she was fidgeting with it so much. She can't focus on one thing. She is sitting here checking her messages, going on Facebook, looking at photos of her family, talking to people. She is not engaged in the movie. Her son is miserable sitting next to her. He wants someone that he can kind of like sing with and enjoy the thing.  Eventually, I just had enough after stewing in my seat. I bend forward and I say verbatim.  Can you please shut it off for the rest of the movie? She does a full body turnaround, looks me square in my dead eyes and says, no, ladies and gentlemen, we have found ourselves a Karen in the wild. I was afraid we had a level five Karen on our hands. Thankfully, it calmed down to about a level two, but this was not a good situation. And I did not want to be part of it. And I did not want to be missing the movie and having my daughter next to me in this awkward situation. I say, okay, if you can't stay off your phone when it's not, you know, movie related, can you at least just put it on your lap so that I don't have to see it? Because I paid a lot of money to experience the movie, but instead I'm looking at your Facebook feed and it's distracting. And she argues with me. She's like, no, my brightness is down on my phone. I'm like, well, that's debatable whether or not, you know, you have the brightness appropriate amount, but I think any amount over 0% is too much. After a little bit more back and forth where I think she called me rude at one point, ironically, so she turned around and she did put her phone down.  But you know what happened after that? Her son came in, she pulled her son in. He laid on her shoulder. They were singing together.  That's salted it a little bit. You know, that's stung, but thankfully nothing else was said. We got up right away and left. There was no more altercation. It could have been a really ugly situation, but outside of that speed bump and outside of the fact that the theater needed to up its game, this was a fun movie. This was a good time at the movies.    Oh good. Adam said I should go see Taylor Swift. Yeah, I got that down. I noted that. You either really are a fan of this music enough to go out and see it or you're not. There's no real in and out. If you are curious as to how much of it is on Taylor as opposed to, you know, some like side stories and other people. No, this is straight up a concert movie. It's what you get. It's 99% singing with occasionally her stopping and saying, we're at the concert. It's awesome. And that's it. And that's exactly what I wanted. All right, let me know what you wanted from the movie. If you saw it, put it in the comments below. Are you excited to go see it still? Have you seen it? You a Swiftie? Where do you sit on things? Please like the video if you like the video. If you loved it here, go ahead and subscribe as I post tons of movie reviews, commentary, rants, rows, live streams, each and every week. Love to have you stick around. It's really appropriate that T Swift was doing bad blood when I was having this altercation with the woman because I felt like I was there.  She was my Selena Gomez. I'm Taylor Swift here. If you saw the music video, you understand. You're not a real fan.


Hey everybody, Dr. O here. In this video we're going to cover the complement system, so not complement, like paying you a compliment, the complement system. You can see how it's spelled there on the screen. So there are two different types of complement systems, but before we get there, these are a series of proteins, they're proteins found in your blood plasma, they're made in the liver. And there are two different pathways, but I won't ask you to know the difference. We have the alternate pathway, which does not require an antibody, which means it's a part of your innate immune response. The classical pathway that you see here does require an antibody, it's part of your adaptive specific immune system. Don't overthink this, I won't ask you to know the individual steps, same thing with blood clotting, but I want you to know the basic functions, and there are two. As you can see about halfway down the path, we have the C3A, the complement protein is involved in what's called opsonization.  So your phagocytic cells often are blind and don't see what they need to attack, so they need something to target them. So antibodies can do that, but so can complement proteins. So just remember the first function of the complement system is opsonization, calling in phagocytic cells to the site of infection to hopefully engulf and destroy the invader, the pathogen. When I think of complement proteins, I primarily think of the bottom here, what's called the membrane attack complex. What these complement proteins do is they build themselves into a drill, and these drills are going to bore holes into the outside of pathogens, usually bacteria, they're especially good at killing bacteria, and if you drill enough holes in the outside of a bacteria, it's going to disrupt what's called the osmotic balance. The fluids are going to leak out, or it's going to get full, and the cells going to rupture. So the complement system, yes it does call in other immune cells, but its primary function is to bore holes into bacteria until they're dead, either their contents leak out and they can't function anymore, or they potentially would even burst there. As you can see at the bottom, that cell is lysing or rupturing. Okay, that is the complement system, one of your non-specific defenses, but it can also be involved in your specific immunity as well, so it's involved in both halves. All right, I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day, be blessed.


My wife's not here tonight. My in-laws are coming in town tomorrow. My birthday is tomorrow and my father-in-law's birthday is also tomorrow. We were born on the same day, yes, and my annual present is in-law visitations. And when you get into your 60s or 50s actually, birthdays don't, in fact, you kind of dread them. It's when I was a kid, I was happy about it. Couldn't wait to get older.  Now I wish I could go back. All right. Well, anyway, our Gifts of the Spirit seminar before Arnie cut my mic off was here. It's the Gifts of the Spirit. That's coming up, that's coming up fast real quick, couple weeks there. That'll be a fun. That's always a fun seminar, but that's a good topic. Everybody's happy with that. No one sends me negative emails. Here's my radio programs. I'm now on every day of the week and on weekends. My SoundCloud.com slash hardcore Christianity is changing at the end of March starting in April. It'll be on a different server. Doesn't matter. You can still pick it up off the website. As Karina said, our healing room is tomorrow from nine to three. The first two were booming. Literally, I mean man, one person after the other. My goal is to have the largest healing room in the state by the end of the year and I'm looking to recruit workers to help us with those if they're going to keep growing and we're getting a lot of people coming in. We need more help for those. So just something for you to keep in mind. Maybe you could help us out praying for the sick. That would be great. Every, the first two services were great.  I'm both. So I'm expecting the same thing tomorrow and if there's a lot of healing and deliverances, that would be my birthday present for tomorrow. My second birthday present. My first one is my in-law visitation. If you want to help us out and you don't have any money, you can help us switch from Google a good search and put in our charity name and then they'll pay us when you surf the web. If you use Amazon and you buy anything on Amazon, you can still help us. They'll pay us .5% Oh, that's wrong in 1.2. It's .5%. Apologize for that. Every time you buy something off Amazon.  So let's say you buy a $45,000 vehicle. So there would be a .5% of that would then come over here. We'll use the money for food for the healing house, utilities, summers coming up, whatever we use it for. None of it is used for salaries. Nobody takes the salary including my wife and I. We're all what you call volunteers. Okay, so all the money that comes in the ministry goes right in the ministry. With the exception, I do have a yacht fund that I'm putting. We have four YouTube teaching channels and you got a whole bunch of good stuff on there. All of our services Thursdays and Fridays are on the internet. Livestream Thursday night, tonight our YouTube channel. This list is causing all kinds of problems and healing all kinds of people. It's a mixed bag. If you want to get the miracle list, just send me an email and they work. Got a bunch of testimonies on the website right there. Don't forget about your terror cell at your church.  If you go to a mega church, that's the best place to get them because you never run out of sick people at a mega church. There's hundreds of them, literally every Sunday. Hundreds of emotionally, mentally, and physically ill people go to mega churches. They never get healed and they're waiting for you, YouTubers. You open up your terror cell at your church. Pick them off on the side. Do it gently.  Then they get thrown out too quickly. Don't forget about your donations. The miracle boxes are on the door and the doors are now hermetically sealed. That's the only one you can get out of. These are all permanently locked until you donate and then you can also donate on the website, which we appreciate. We use that money to pay bills. You need a receipt for last year? I just sent another one out today. Send me an email. I'll see you Thursday, next Thursday, in Emporia, Kansas, at the Church of God of Prophecy. Whatever that is. We're going to have a healing service there in Kansas. I'm going to talk to you for a minute. In America, the gospel is changing and obviously it's changing because of technology and the system's also changing quite a bit and it has to change because down the road, I think, and within a few years, the antichrist and the false prophet will rise, the antichrist on the Middle East, the false prophet, God only knows where he comes from. There's nothing in the Bible about him. He just, bang, appears. So the planet and the churches are being prepped or arranged by Satan for this future tribulation period. What's happening is Christianity is changing. Now you've got kind of two ways it's going. This one here is the worldwide method and the best one to look at there is Hillsong. Have you ever heard of that church? They're out of Australia and what they're doing is they have a main pastor there and then they open churches all over the planet and then on Sunday morning, they pipe in the main pastor to the services all over the world, every different service, and then they have local kind of pastors to manage each little group on their satellite system. And the idea here is to make the gospel seem fun and palatable and make it so that it's all-inclusive. The true gospel, which I'll show you in a minute, is an exclusive. It's the gospel of exclusion. The phony gospel, the commercial gospel is a gospel of inclusion. We want everybody in. Everybody come in and have a good time. And we like all of you. God loves you. And you know, if you got some weird beliefs, worry about it. We'll work it out at the church picnic. This system here is much easier to indoctrinate people with this insane gospel that's coming down the pipe. The Hillsong and the Mars Hill and all these other groups, they are high-tech professionals and they have entertainment and visuals and you can't even believe it. I mean, it's awesome. And the idea is to give everybody an entertaining feel-good experience at church and get you to come back. Correct? Because as you know, in the general public, the general public, in every career field, every person is considered a unit of revenue. That's correct. At Walmart, you walk in the door. You aren't a human being. You're a potential unit of revenue. They want you to buy something. You go to the church. You're basically a unit of revenue. You have a potential to donate funds into their system. So the theory being, and it works, the more people I get in this system, potentially, percentage-ly, you have more money coming in. It's simple mathematics. The other system here is also huge. You have the megachurch here and then the megachurch has a main pastor and then they start opening satellite churches. So this pastor is at this church, but they also have pastors at these churches. So they don't pipe in this pastor to that church. These pastors are indoctrinated in this system. Then they go out individually and start satellite churches. So here in Phoenix, for example, Christ's church of the valley up here, but they have satellite churches all over the valley. Phoenix versus Assembly, I think they changed the name to Dreamville. Now they've got they're doing the same thing. Everybody, all these megachurches are doing the same thing. And then these churches then, again, working on the units of revenue, peel off a percent to the main hub or the main megachurch. And the whole theory is what we've got to do here is make you feel good so that you will come back feeling entertained, feeling uplifted, feeling encouraged, party on, dude. Come back because everybody who walks to the door, Walmart, Target, whatever it is, church is a potential unit of revenue. Now, obviously, everybody's not a unit of revenue, but they're playing the odds. It's a percentage move, correct? Some people go into Walmart, they look at something, they walk out, they buy nothing. Yeah, you always have a percent of people who don't donate or don't buy anything. So that's how that system works. That is not the gospel of Christ. It has nothing to do with it. I'll show you how it works today. Here's how the Lord set the system up originally, and this is how it's supposed to work. All right, let's let's take a quick trip through Acts 13. So this is when they departed from Perga, they came to Antioch, and they went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day. No problem, a very common occurrence. Saturday afternoon, that's when the Jews had church, correct? And then it says after the reading of the Law and the Prophets, what they would do in the synagogues was 12 months Jewish calendar year, and then January, we're going to read this much of the Torah, and that much, and that much, and it was read every Saturday, and then by the end of the year, theoretically, it's the read through the Bible thing like Protestants have. So they would go through the reading of the Torah, and there was no moving of the Spirit, no power of God. It was all mental, some emotional, and they would just read and believe, read, believe, read, believe. That's how the system works. And they would do that all year, and the next year they would start over like that. So here now they're reading the the Law, the Torah, and then they would go to the prophets right down through the year, and one of the ministers in the church says, hey, if anybody has anything to say, what? Say on. And here's how it worked back then. We can't do that now because that's politically correct, but the real Jews would, let's say, be in this section and that section, and then the proselytes would be in that section. So the regular Jews, the real Jews, they got to sit together, and then the proselyte Jews sat over there. In America, we had that back in the thirties and forties and so on. You have your white people sitting over here.  Any old people here? Nobody? Okay. Well, anyway, just take my word for it. That's how the system used to work before you were born. You would have whiteies over here, crackers and honkies, then you had blacks over here, okay? And then they were separate, okay? And then some ministers came along and they said, we're not going to do that. That's a sin. And great preachers like Whitfield, Billy Graham, who just died, they wouldn't segregate their services like that. And that caused a lot of problems. Everybody got a little PO, and that's how that system worked. Well, they had the same thing there. Jews were here and converted Jews were here. They were second-class citizens because they were born Greeks and from all kinds of areas, and they converted to Judaism. So somebody who saw the idol worshiping system as a farce, then they read about Judaism and Yahweh and so on. They said, hey, that sounds like the real God. I'm going to convert from this false God to Judaism, and they were called proselytes, but they weren't allowed to sit with the Jews. They were proselyte Jews. They were second-class citizens. You've got to sit over there, very similar to Rosa Parks, where years ago the blacks had to sit in the back of the bus, so to speak. No offense. And Paul stands up and says, hey, you know, people who are filled with the Holy Ghost, if somebody hands them an opportunity, they're the first people to grab it. People with fear demons, they'll sit quietly in their seat, and then an internal debate goes on in their head. Should I do it? Should I not do it? Should I say something? I don't know. Is it God's will? If you have to get ready to do something when the opportunity presents itself, you're already lost it. Quoting Wigglesworth. Stole it from Wigglesworth. He said, if you've got to prepare yourself to do something when the opportunity's there, you've already missed it. Every time they asked Wigglesworth to do something, the answer was always, yes. Paul, same way. Hey, you've got something to say, but he stands up. There he goes. Men of Israel and you that fear God, Jews proselytes. Jews proselytes. He's talking about both groups. Listen to me, he says. The God of Israel chose our fathers and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt. And with a high arm, he brought them out. Amen. About the time of 40 years, he suffered their manners. Boy, I'll tell you what, that manners thing transferred from Judaism to Christianity.  Oh, you have no idea. I get them in my office all the time and they say just about anything in the world to me. Well, these Jews, that's the way they are. They had no manners.  And Jehovah used a few men. It was called what? Murmuring. Thank you. Murmuring. Very bad. And when he destroyed the seven nations in the land of Canaan, he divided the land by lot to the Jews. Correct? There were 12 sections of it. Benjamin got their lot last. And here's the seven groups that Jehovah wiped out to give their land to the Jews. And that is what we call Palestine now. Correct? This is all mentioned in Joshua chapter 13 through chapter 22 if you want to read about it. But anyway, Jehovah displaced these idol worshipers. And he gave the Jews this land because of his relationship and his agreement with Abraham. They were friends and partners. And he had made promises to Abraham. And when Jehovah, the great Hebrew God makes a promise, he is not able to go back on it. He's stuck. If you can get him to give you a promise, he's stuck and he has to come through with it. He can't take it back. It's impossible. If you can get him to say yes, he's on the hook. Well, anyway, these Canites, the Hittites, the whatever they are, the rectilites, all these things, they all got booted out. And the Jews took over Palestine or the land of Israel. Correct? And then after that he gave judges about 450 years until Samuel. And then they wanted a king. So then they went into the king system and Saul was a king next, he says, about 40 years. And then when God removed him for disobedience, Paul says he raised up King David, the greatest king of Israel. And then he says, Jehovah said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after my own heart, which shall fulfill all my will. Now he's given them the history of Israel. So the Jews are all going, yeah, that's right. I'm with you. We're on that game. The proselytes are all going, yeah, that's great. That's interesting. Oh, keep going, Brother Paul. He's got their attention now, see. He knows how to preach and teach. He was the best at it. And then it says, again, we're still in Acts 13, of this man's seed has God, according to his promise, raised to Israel a savior, Yeshua or Jesus, he says to them. Now what's going to happen is the sermon gets nasty. It gets uninclusive. In this demonic system of fanny padding and pleasure seeking, this is an inclusion system. Everybody welcome. The true gospel is an exclusion system. It's an exclusion system. Now Paul's in deep trouble. He's talking to the Jews. He's not in trouble over here. He's talking to the proselytes. Now he's in trouble. He mentions Jesus. And then when John first preached, now he goes to John the Baptist, now he wants to build his case very much like a lawyer would build his case. He goes to evidence. Here's some evidence that you will, you will know about. And he was, they would all have heard of John the Baptist. And they said, Hey, John the Baptist, he preached the gospel of repentance. Now he's in trouble again. Because once you bring repentance into this system, the units of revenue start leaving or jumping ship. So you can't be hard on these people because your customer, they're gone. Paul doesn't care about this system. He only cares about what's true.  As John fulfilled his course, he said, Who do you think I am? Am I the Messiah? No. John says, I am not the Messiah. He's using John now to point to his main subject here that he's trying to sneak up on him with. It is Yeshua or Jesus, the son of the God, living God. And John the Baptist said, I'm not even worthy to carry his shoes. So these people, proselytes, Jews in the synagogue, they all, many of them were very respectful of John and had a high opinion of him. So Paul is now kind of roping John in to help set up his main argument coming here in just a second. When men and brethren, children of the stock of Abraham, men and brethren, proselytes, children of the stock of Abraham, Jews, he's got a mixed crew here. Correct? He's talking to two groups.  Oh, now he's in deep trouble.  Now he's going with the truth and he doesn't care who likes it. Now he's saying something that could get him killed. What do you mean salvation? The Jews are thinking we're already saved. Hey, we come in here every week, Saturday, we're reading the Torah. We're going through the prophets. We've got the word of God. What do you mean we're not? What's saved? Save what? What are you on crack? What's going on here? The proselytes are going, oh, this is interesting. Yeah, let me. Hmm. That's a, yeah, keep going there. What are you talking about salvation? Because the proselytes felt like second-class citizens and they were, they had to ride in the back of the bus. So what kind of a person you are determines how you hear the gospel and how you respond to it as it is in our society today.  And you don't want to lose any of your units of revenue to that other church over there. So you have to upgrade your programs, which is what Hillsong's done. They're blowing everybody away with this massive presentation of the entertaining gospel. You wouldn't believe it. Have you ever seen that? Any of that? It's unbelievable. I mean, it's Hollywood, hardcore Hollywood, amazing, amazing. This is in Hollywood here. This is, this is all truth. By our standards, Paul's cracked up. Now he's going on to dangerous ground here with a mixed group saying you can be saved. I thought we were already saved. Well, the prospect didn't feel like they were saved. Who would feel saved if you were a second-class citizen?  Right in the back of the bus, bus gets old. And when they got on there, Rosa Parks apparently said, I ain't getting out of my seat. I'm tired of sitting in the back of the bus. I'm staying right here by the bus driver. That's how that went. That's my understanding. I wasn't there, but I mean, that's the story I read. Acts 13 still. And they that dwell at Jerusalem and their rulers because they did not know him, nor did they know the voices of the prophets read every Sabbath like this place. See what he's doing here? He's getting ready to hit them with hardcore Christianity. And hardcore Christianity is not the gospel of inclusion. It's the gospel. Exclusion, excluding Allah and Buddha and Zor Aster and Mother Mary and every other false God in the planet Earth. It's the gospel of exclusion, not inclusion. Paul is about ready to get his butt caught in a ringer and he doesn't care because he's got the Holy Ghost. He's not into an entertainment blowhard system. All he cares about is the truth and he doesn't care who likes it. Paul was nasty. Now he's stepping on it now and he's about to step in it. He says, hey, you read the prophets every Saturday, don't you? You weren't even listening to the prophets because they told you about Yahshua. Now he's really in trouble with this group. That group over there, the proselytes, they're going, whoa, keep preaching, brother. Does that make sense? They were second class. And they fulfilled the prophets, which you don't know Jews, in Kreno, judging him and condemning him to death. Kreno means to evaluate, assess, render a verdict and pass a judgment. Reading the evidence, coming to a conclusion and sentencing him to death. That's what happened to him in the middle of the night when they had Jesus as trial. This is what he's referring to. And now these are Jews and some of them are going, hmm, I'm starting to get a little peoed here. They're calming themselves down. They're not doing anything yet. But you can tell by looking at people's faces when they're starting to get a little mad. If you've ever been married, you know what I'm talking about. You know how to read faces. And when somebody is starting to get mad, you can kind of pick up on it. Well, they're starting to get steamed here. What do you mean? We read the law and the prophet. No, you didn't. You missed it. Nobody likes to be told they missed stuff. Though they found no cause, I Tia valid reason for his death. And they desired pilot that he should be slain translation. The Jews are unjust murderers have now these are Jews, and there's the proselytes. I'm getting Paul's getting a man's from that section. He's getting odd looks from this one. Hmm, wait. Hmm, might be called a murderer. When they fulfilled all that was written of him, he goes back to the prophets. They took him down from the tree and they laid him in a sepulcher translation. They buried him. Now, we don't actually know what happened back then because there were several different kinds of crosses that were used to crucify people. But in my opinion, I think it was either, it was one of these three. I don't think it was that one because it says in the text that pilot put a sign above his head. So my thought would be if his head was like here, and his arms were there, you could still get a sign up there. You could easily get one up there and here, correct? So I don't think it was one of those crosses. But anyway, it doesn't matter. One of these crosses they murdered him on. It was called the tree. Zulon is a Greek word. It means tree tree like a regular tree cross. The crosses were made out of trees. That's why they call them trees. Now, Paul starts to go into the word of God. He says, but God raised him from the dead and he was seen many days, 40 exactly. And from all kinds of people who became his witnesses. Now he's telling them something unbelievable, which back then is a vicious, nasty, hardcore sermon. Now it's a run of the mill. We have Christmas every year. The resurrection means nothing. We're all used to it. So here in America, no big deal. I've heard this story over and over again. Not a big deal. There, they had never heard that story before. And he was telling them that this dead Jew, Yeshua, rose from the dead. Now nobody thinks anything of that. Back then that was like earth shattering material. Shocking. What do you mean he's not dead? You gotta be kidding me. That's not possible. That's incredible. And he says there were witnesses to it. He was risen from the dead. He says, and we declare to you these glad tidings concerning the promises made to the Father. Now he's going to go back in the Old Testament and explain to the Jews here and the proselytes there that if you knew how to read the Bible correctly, you would have seen the promises of the Mosheach as clear as a bell and you would have seen Jesus met those, that criteria to be the Messiah. So now he's going to use it as support. And then he says, again, Jesus was raised from the dead. Not an interesting story now because we have it so much. Everybody's hearing it over and over again. It's called systematic desensitization. Once you hear something over and over again, you become desensitized to it and it has limited to no effect on you. Here these people are all on the edge of their seats. These people are on the edge of their seats listening to him preach a sermon that they had never heard before that appeared to be stark, raving, crazy to some and an incredible miracle of others. This person was raised from the dead. That was a big deal back then. And then it says, he starts quoting the Old Testament Psalms chapter two as it is written, you are my son this day I have begotten you. Now he's going a step further by saying this person, Yeshua was actually the son of Jehovah. Now everybody is staring at him like they can't believe it. And then he's quote Psalm 18. He says concerning that he raised him up from the dead. No more to corruption. He said on this wise and he quotes Psalm 18, I will give you the sure mercies of David. Why? Because of all these promises in the Old Testament that applied to Jesus and now he's putting it all together for him. He's like wrapping it up in a nice little package. It's fantastic. Like Christmas. Then he quotes Psalm 16 and he says wherefore he said you shall not suffer your holy one to see corruption. See the Bible says Jews proselytes that the son of God was predicted to be raised from the dead. In America you get the same reaction I just got from you. You're just staring at me. Back then they're not reacting that way. That's off the hook. Incredible news. David after he had served in his own generation by the will of God died. Now he's saying that the person they loved the most, King David and Moses, he says they're dead. Your favorite people are dead. Jews are going what's the point he's going to make out of that? These proselytes going yeah preach on brother Paul. They want to hear this message. They love it and then it says they died and they rotted in the grave and in fact everybody dies and rots in the grave unless you get cremated.  They give them back to you. Now if you have an urn and from somebody please get that out of your house. When somebody dies their spirits leave that body and then they go to other family members. So if you bring home the urn it's kind of like waving a bye again. Put grandma on the garage or sprinkle her at sea or her favorite vacation spot whatever and get that my recommendation. This isn't from God. It's just me based on my experience. Kind of get that thing out of your house. That would be my recommendation. Well anyway all of your heroes, Jews are dead and they rotted in the grave. But he whom God raised from the dead. That's no news here but back there that was shocking news. They had never heard anything like it. Somebody was raised from the dead. Yeah in fact he never saw any corruption. He was only in the grave three days. So his body never even rotted like King David and Moses and Joshua and all the rest of them. This person he says is whom I'm preaching to you. Then he drops the bomb and says that's how you get your sins forgiven. The Jews are freaking. Wait a minute the way we get our sins forgiven we come into the Saturday and we read out of the Tanakh. Then we read out of the prophets. Then you sacrifice animals and that's how you get saved. See and Jehovah is your savior. Whoops no. That's not how it works anymore. Okay they did not have the reaction you just gave me. Sitting there staring at me. Now the groom is starting to rumble. Now Brother Paul is either going to hit a grand slam home run or end up hanging like Judas.  All he cares about is what's true.  God raised him from the dead and this person who was raised from the dead and he's alive now and never saw corruption like King David he is the one that can forgive you of your sins. These scriptures YouTubers I thought I'd put them down there for you show that the gospel is a gospel of exclusion not inclusion like they have in Hillsong and the groups. It's Christ only and there is no other way to be saved or go to heaven. No other God no other religion no other philosophy no other the concept no other person that's it period. Jews there's a new sheriff in town the old system that you have been living under your whole life and your fathers lived under in your grandfather everybody lived under that system has now been changed then he keeps going. How does he do it? I have no idea by him all that believe are the guy often I listen that's a past tense verb meaning that when you come to Christ you are instantly justified instantly justified and the word justification means you're declared innocent or not guilty.

Pain can be a spirit. Not in every case, but in many cases, pain is a spirit because the injury should have healed long ago, but it still hurts for no reason. That's a pain spirit. You can cast that pain spirit out of your body if you hurt yourself and it should have healed a long time ago, but it hasn't healed. That's a spirit of pain. You can drive that thing out tonight by using your authority in Christ. Come on. Right now, Satan, come out. Come out. YouTubers, have you been involved in witchcraft?
