Hello everyone, my name is Kevin. I'm Vietnamese. I just come to Singapore about a month ago and got a job for two weeks ago. Can you hear me? Hello, first thing I want to say, thank you to Vincent for introducing me to Sam. So I get a pleasure because of him and I can stand there to talk with you guys. Thank you. Ok, so today I want to share my experience in working with the decorator button in Ruby. The three points I want to talk first is why we use decorator. Secondly, how and the third one is when we shoot you. So I believe the business logic is the root of the ugly code. Because in the beginning your class will be very simple and easy to read with a very few minimum published interface. So easy to write and easy to test. Time by time the business logic comes and you must add a lot of business logic into your code. And it looks heavy and mess up everything. So we already support us for some convention to have anyone call to soften the methods. But there is another way to enhance the object easily with our method. Everything in your class is the decorator button. First I want to give you guys an example of how we mess up the class with the business logic. This is a hero in the game Dota 2. Actually you guys know her. This hero has four skills here. First hero, Girls, Racer, Aura and Markman Shift. And from just four basic skills here without the support. They can generate some kind of attack like the normal attack without the skill. First hero attack, Girls and they can combine the normal attack with the Racer, Aura and something more. Maybe three skills together. And how we implement these kind of attack in our class is two way. First, you boost every type attack to a method like this. So there are standard methods. The maximum method will be high power n minus 1, the total success of the fourth skill. Another way is you use the subclass. So every combining of skills you create a new class. So in this case we can use the same methods for every class. So plan like attack. You also create a new object and call attack. But it's still a lot of things you must do. Because it's too many methods or too many subclass. So it's very hard for you to remember exactly the methods or the class name. And like if you want to change the skill, how many things you need to change to fix the new code, the new skill. Or you want to add a new skill. So you need to create a lot of functions or a lot of subclass to combine everything. So with the decorator button. This is the original class. We just have a method named attack. And we create an attack decorator with a method. Notice the same method name. And then we create some decorator that inherits the original attack decorator. And then we implement the attack in a different way. Let's notify the hero object here. We call the attack. This came from the original class called this one. So how do we use it? We can initialize a hero contrast here. And we call the attack method. Or we want the contrast. Hero creates a cross error attack. So we can call cross error decorator new with the hero object. But we bust it over there. And we call attack. Or we want to combine three types of attack together. So we call mic and chip decorator of new just hit cross error. We see the object here. We see also the decorator. So for the general decorator uses. Like this. First decorator new, second decorator of new. Third decorator of new. Fourth decorator of new. And finally the object. And maybe more. So in this case, you use the same method for every decorator. It's good because you don't need to write a loss. And the user, that's you, your decorator. Can save time to remember every method. And you can keep the original class. Simple, very simple, clean and beautiful. Easy to test. And easy to add new feature. Like create a new decorator for the new skill of attack. But you need to keep the interface very simple. Because it is a little bit complicated. So every order decorator will be passed a loss of parameters. So it's not good. And because you pass the object to a loss of decorator like that. So maybe this will be a lot of memory that you are using yet. So it will not be a little bit super performant. And another thing is it's not easy to test it. It's some auto-developer using writing some code like this. So we want to work every object here for processing for writing aspect. So last thing is when we're using it. First is when the class have similar methods. Like the Herald class for the first symbol I give you. And second is for Revolve data. So because we use the same result data for every Revolve. But we must create a different type of Revolve. For like self or HR finance. But it's very similarly so you can use the decorator. Another thing is the dropout of the game rest. I think most of you know it already. And because of the concept of the decorator. If that you decorate a methods you can be happier. So it's not just the class decorator. It's just not class but also the methods. Here is some like methods and methods change. But support by activity support. And then it is in FTC protocol model. It's also using the decorator. Ok so this is my reference. Thank you for listening. Any question? Ok well if you think of any later. We will be here of course. Thanks again.


ministry team for the invitation to be here you know it's a great blessing I'm from Medellin Columbia you know I live in New Jersey but I'm from Medellin Columbia and I think the next hour and probably tomorrow you are gonna be used to an English Latin American accent okay you know that is very important because we are in a very multicultural church here in the United States I was so happy to see one of my brother from Columbia Priests he are present and I know is the reality most of your diocese to have this very multicultural reality in the church they asked me to to share with you this afternoon this presentation about knowing and sharing Jesus I have some poor pointed lies probably I'm gonna go over some of them the other I just gonna pass pass them but the idea about this presentation is that we can't talk about unity between a catechism and evangelization you know so many times we put catechism in one side and evangelization in the other side I did director of evangelization for the diocese of candin and very often I receive calls about what we need to do for evangelization what programs do you have about evangelization but really we know evangelization is not about the program evangelization is not about an office evangelization is the role of all of us as Christians just I know what I'm gonna be doing like you know a la formation about catechesis and evangelization but one that we keep in mind during this toll this afternoon how we can bring those things together not just to think about catechesis in one side and evangelization in the other side but how we can be authentic evangelizers I just gonna be showing to you just a couple of slides about evangelization and I'm gonna move to a process about the the unity of evangelization and catechesis when I arrived in candin in 2009 my former bishop is Bishop Joseph Galante I came to the diocese as the director of Ion Adola and campus ministries but I was in my office like three months later after I arrived to New Jersey I didn't know anything about New Jersey by the way you know and I don't know New York I have never been in New York okay you know and I arrived to the diocese to know the reality I was there like three months and one day Bishop Galante called me to my office I say hey Andres can you come to my office and I say yeah sure when I arrived to his office he has my resume in his hands and he say Andres I'm doing some changes here in the in the pastoral center in the diocesan offices and I was reading your resume and I have seen your experience working with the charismatic renewal you know I has I see that you have been involved with the renewal for so many years and I doing some changes I just want to ask you if you can be the director of evangelization let me tell you something while I telling you this to be sincere with you I was not doing anything in the diocese I was just trying to figure out the culture of New Jersey the reality of the different parties I was not the best evangelizer they were only three months I was just learning but my bishop has in his mind that charismatic renewal is connected with evangelization and I think that is a really good team however I think it's not just the role of the charismatic renewal is not just the role of the ecclesial movements here in the church I think it's the role of all of us and in the first meeting that I had with him he told me very you know something very powerful I don't know you know too much about the reality in Latin America but let me tell you a couple of things about the faith formation in Latin America and I know saying that is better than that here or that is better here than there but for example if in Colombia let's put the example you are gonna do the first communion you just go to catechesis for a couple of months and that's it after that you get the first communion you are gonna receive the sacrament of confirmation you just prepare for a couple of months and after that you receive the sacrament of confirmation if you want to get married in the church you just go you call the priest say father we want to get married you have a couple of conversation with the priest and he said okay when do you want to get married so it's very interesting reality it's not like the faith formation that we have here you know we have our children two years to prepare for first communion probably another three years to prepare for confirmation if you want to get married the church you call the secretary answer the phone and the first question is are you registering the parties and the other person in the other side of the phone it doesn't have an idea what it means to get registered in the church but they are gonna tell you okay you have to get registered in the church and after six months we can talk about to get married let me tell you something I have several friends my friends that have been getting married in the last three years they have no beating getting married in the church no because they don't want it but because we put all these regulations they went to go to get married in the ocean they ask a friend to get married I have a lot of friends that they have been getting married in Protestant churches basically because they didn't feel a place you know in the Catholic church I'm not saying that is wrong about the regulation no no no but it in the conversation could be different you know answer the phone hey we are so happy that you are gonna get married when do you have time to call to speak with the priest and okay when they feel welcome we can talk about the other things but my beach of say something very interesting I say Andres we team because we have all our children here in our classrooms in faith formation in religious education we think that we are doing a really good job but the reality is that after they receive the sacrament of confirmation they disappear from the church they think that is the graduation and sometimes we think hey don't worry you know don't worry they are gonna come back when they are gonna get married yeah now they are getting married in their 40s 50s you know we have a this big gap of how to bring the presence of Jesus to so many people my beach so I remember this war he say Andres we don't need to bring just information to our children we need to bring a personal transformation a personal encounter with Jesus I think in my opinion it's a blessing that we have our children so many GRs in our religious education programs but what we are doing really to bring them into a personal encounter with Jesus I don't know my brother priest but around late August I get very nervous very afraid about the party's announcements at the end of the month because one of the announcements late August is something like this the religious education program is gonna begin in a couple of weeks and we don't have enough you know catechesis to teach we don't have enough people to be involved we are still are missing who is gonna teach the seven great catechesis if you want to volunteer please go in the back and you can register and I know we have really good people in our parishes we have really good volunteers we have really nice people that they are gonna go back and they are gonna register because we are feel so sorry for the pastor I feel so sorry for the religious education it's easy for me to get a book and read I gonna learn the prayers I can teach the children but the reality is if they don't have their own personal encounter with Jesus is they don't have a personal relationship with Jesus we are just gonna give in information to our community information to our children it's no easy to be to catechize it's no easy to be a teacher in the religious education program let me tell you a couple of example about my daughters and we go inside all these process about evangelization as father they say I'm the father of twin daughters yeah right now at this time one of my daughters she's been Moana you know singing a song to the whole school and my other daughter is watching her because it's a blessing they are six years old but one of my daughter she has special needs she doesn't speak she just learned to wall a couple of years ago this I have twin daughters but they are different age but let me tell you a couple of example how difficult is to be a teacher of religious education because I can speak in this conference but sometime my challenge is with my children a couple of months ago we were doing one of the home wars from the school they go to a catholic school and she showed me a picture of the holy family and see a she told me a dad we were learning today about Mary Joseph and Jesus so okay nice and what did you learn say hey daddy really I don't understand because you told me that God you know is the father of Jesus but in the school they told me that Joseph is the father of Jesus you know I don't understand daddy how is that possible and we went to a long conversation and at the end she said daddy I don't understand but it's okay just continue with the home war you know they are reality with this okay wow I think I lost my master in theology when I started but the second one you know she came home one day and she told me hey dad you know that Jesus has a pet I said Jesus has a pet I never see Jesus with a pet what kind of pet a dog a cat tell me no no daddy have you seen the the photo of Jesus you know he's always with a pet he has a really cool pet I said what are you talking about Giovanna and she told from her backpack a picture of the holy trinity you know so me daddy look the father Jesus and a really cool pet you know he's a bear that is always with Jesus I was thinking that I was an expert about the Holy Spirit but you know I didn't know how to explain to my dad we have a nice conversation and again at the end she said hey daddy I don't get it but let's just pray and we pray for an outpouring of the Holy Spirit what I'm telling you this because we have a real challenge in front of us it's not just to bring concepts because sometimes we think because the children they learn how to pray they learn the concept about the holy trinity they learn about Jesus you know truly God and truly men but really we are bringing them not too much to know about this concept but to really being into a personal relationship with the Lord I think it's very easy to measure if we are being successful in our caracases and in our evangelization how many of the kids that receive the sacrament of confirmation are staying in our parishes are coming to our Sunday masses are coming to son of our programs that we have a really challenge in front of us but everything is gonna make sense everything is gonna get fruits it's about how we are living our personal relationship with Jesus how we are having a personal encounter with Jesus every day let me move and again I will show just some son of lies that I'm not gonna concentrate in then you know you are very familiar with the evangelicals is say the mission of the church is to evangelize in other words if I translate this into a Colombian language he's saying if we are no evangelizing is no reason to have a church if we are no evangelizing is no reasons to have a church in my diocese when I arrived nine years ago we were in a process of mergers we were 128 parishes and when I arrived we ended only with 62 parishes it was a very painful process and my digital he was very pastoral you know bringing parishes together he didn't close any parties he brings them together but was no easy but I remember one party is when we were in the whole process they told my bitch what are you gonna merge our parties we are doing good economically we have enough priests to serve the community you know we are doing fine what you are gonna merge us with that other neighbor parties and the bishop told them two things the first thing that is a poor party's they don't have the financial resources and I think as a sister parties will be your Christian responsibility to help them you know to continue their mission and the second question which of us then how many people you have in the Sunday mass they say hey we used to be like probably five hundred in the Sunday mass but in the last year we are down to 40 people every Sunday mass you know what was the answer of my bitch you know that is no a party that is a social club and yeah you have the money you have the priest but you are no evangelizing you know you need to go out not just to be here with the nice 40 people that we have but what we are doing to going out if we are no evangelizing is no reason to have a church I'm not saying that you know it's Paul the six Paul Francis you know you know this guy here I can't I can't get another picture but I like this one you know I think was time magazine or one of these secular magazines that they put this cartoon of Paul Francis basically when we read Evangelical Dion he speaks about evangelization as a lifestyle as a lifestyle and later I'm gonna mention some quotes about this let me move forward and let me be here I'm sure you are familiar with this process in so many places we use this process to talk about evangelization but I want to make the connection today about the unity of evangelization and caricices Paul Francis in Evangelical Dion he said something like this we have spent too much time talking about the church and not talking about Jesus we have spent so much time talking about the Pope and not talking about the war of God our role our mission is not to bring people into our churches our mission is to bring people into a personal relationship with Jesus that means that the center of any of our ministries especially you as priests decon seminarians is to bring people into a personal encounter with Jesus that Jesus is the center Father Joe was mentioning in the mass you know sometimes we fight what mass is better but you know it's only about Jesus is not what church is growing faster it's not what parties has more money our role our mission is to bring people to accept Jesus as the Lord and Savior and I'm gonna spend a few time in each of these process here because first we need to discover Jesus and bring people to discover Jesus second we need to follow Jesus and it's not a follow just 20 years ago 40 years ago how we are following Jesus right now and there we need to chair Jesus and let me get a little bit about this the first one I call discover Jesus in other words to have a personal encounter with Jesus let me tell you a personal testimony here how you hear about the fifth Encuentro the fifth encounter anyone has heard about the fifth Encuentro okay this is really an evangelization process that the USCCV the Catholic Beaches of the US are doing with the Latino community particularly but with the whole church we are gonna have the national Encuentro in September in the diocese of forward Texas but has been a process of probably like three years ago as Father they mentioned I said as a consultant for the USCCV the subcommittee on Hispanic Affairs and a couple of years ago I received a phone call and I say Andres are you able to go to the Vatican because we are gonna have some meetings in different decasteries with different cardinals to chair there about the fifth Encuentro process because we went to Rome and you know I go often for meetings in Rome but this one was very very special we were one week and we stay in Santa Marta house you know the place where Paul Francis lives probably some of you have been there and we stayed there for a whole week but really when they told me I say I told you know Paul Francis is gonna be over there and we are gonna be here in the other rooms but really was a very special week because was one week living with Paul Francis you know we were having dinner in the same dining room he was taking the same elevator you know was very a very humble man you know he was doing the line to get his food nobody's serving him by the way he was getting in line to get his food he stand up and being like in the microwave to hit his food you know it's unbelievable but of course they are some regulations you cannot talk with the Pope every time that you see him don't ask the Pope for a selfie okay you know they are several regulations one day and I talking this testimony to talk about discover Jesus mean to have a personal encounter with Jesus one day I was coming late for a meeting we have a meeting at 3 p.m. and we were supposed to meet you know in the outside house Santa Marta and as a Latino I was running down the stairs because I was like three minutes late and when I arrived to the first floor Paul Francis was talking with the receptionist when I saw him I saw him and I saw the Swiss guard you know one of the Swiss guard was you know very near to him when he saw me he made me two signs he'd say this and after that he say this I don't know but in Colombia I don't understand what is this okay I understand they have part he said like that I just saw that you know I just thought like this when Paul Francis told around I told you know if I speak in Spanish of course I gonna get his attention more that's when he told I say hey in Spanish of course you know his holiness can I say hi to you and he said sure something very interesting he didn't wait for me to go to him he began to wall and he was coming where I was standing at that moment the Swiss guard was like red you know he didn't understand what we were talking about everything in Spanish he gave me his hand and I say his holiness I am Andres Arango I'm with the delegation of b-chops from the U.S. about the fifth encounter he's very familiar with the fifth encounter he sent a video to the U.S. CCB assembly last year you know he knows what is happening here with the fifth encounter they say I am dressed Arango with the delegation of b-chops for the fifth encounter you know they were like probably ten seconds but for me was an eternity you know what he's gonna answer to me he's gonna give me a blessing what he's gonna say you know I was thinking all these things in my mind all the people that told me hey Andres if you speak with the pole please tell these these you forget everything in that moment but I was waiting okay what he's gonna tell me you know he's joking most of the time you know he wants to be funny most of the time and he told me something that at the beginning I was very disappointed he told me it's very difficult for me to translate this into English I gonna say in Spanish for the one who speaks Spanish and after that I'm gonna try to do a translation in English don't worry it's only one phrase okay he say oh ha la se encuentren oh ha la se encuentren in English is something like I hope you have an encounter I hope you have an encounter remember I say I with the delegation of the fifth encuentro fifth encounter he say I hope you have an encounter and he walked away you know and I was very disappointed I say was hoping that he was gonna ask me about my family he was gonna give me a blessing he was gonna say good job I'm so happy to be here but he just say oh ha la se encuentren I hope you have an encounter I walk out and the first beach of that was outside was a beach arch of each of Gomez from Los Angeles from LA and he saw me with that biggest mile I say Andres what happened you are late you met with the Pope or what I say yeah I was having a conversation with the Pope and he say and what he said and he say no he just say I hope you have an encounter and I went very disappointed they took the picture no with the pole what with the arch of each of Gomez okay and we walk to our meeting but let me tell you something my brothers that wars have been in my mind and in my heart for the last couple of years because are we really having an encounter every day with Jesus because I think we are we are used to be with Jesus we are working for the church 24 hours you know you are priests decon seminary another layman working full-time for the church and we are getting used to be with Jesus and that wars are in my mind and in my heart hey Andres are you really having a personal encounter with Jesus every day or no are you really having a conversation with the Lord accepting him as your Lord giving your life to him or we are very busy in the teens of God but no having every day a personal encounter with Jesus I don't want that you raise your hands but did you have already a personal encounter with Jesus today I don't know this is a personal answer for each of us did we have already a personal encounter with Jesus today did we have a personal encounter with Jesus yesterday last week because it's not about to share Jesus it's not about to share the church it's about to have a personal encounter with the Lord and sometimes we are very busy in the teens of God but we don't have time to be with God we don't have time to encounter God and today we are here this week you know trying and I'm sure having that personal encounter with the Lord but our role is how to bring that presence of Jesus to others let me tell you another testimony about how to bring that personal encounter with Jesus to others he used to live in California I live in California probably six years as Father they mentioned I went to the University in Berkeley and I live also in Sacramento it was a parish in the city of Sacramento but they used to invite me probably like every six months to give a talk to the Jude group it was a Jude charismatic prayer group and I remember in that group was a man that you always notice his presence in that group because he was a man that he was always like saying yes to all the things that you were saying he was very you know deep in prayer but also I remember the first time that I went to that group he has his hair it was like green and was like this you know it was green to him the second time that I went his hair was orange and was to this size completely orange the first time that I made him he has a earring here the last time he has severed all his face you know but was a man that you saw him very involved in the prayer group one day you know in one of the times that I was there after I finish you know we finished the prayer group he came and he told me hey Andres can I tell you something say yeah of course tell me Andres I I don't want to come anymore to this prayer group I don't want to be here anymore and I said but why I see that you are very happy here you are very involved in the prayer you are very involved you know in the teaching say Andres since the first time that I came here the leaders of the groups they have been telling me that I cannot have the my hair green that I cannot have my hair orange that I had my natural hair that I have to remove all these things from my face I told him you know you are a holy man you are a holy man he opened his eyes I think nobody told him that before so you are a holy man and after a few seconds I told him you are a holy man because if I was you I was gonna be out of this prayer group a long time ago you know you are a holy man that you have been here for several years you are a holy man because you have this space to be here I told him you have two options I know another prayer group that they are not gonna judge you you know they are just gonna save you as you are or don't worry you are coming here to have a personal encounter with Jesus you are coming here to be with the Lord okay don't put too much attention about what they are telling you we move out of California I went to live in Florida and like three years later they invite me to a conference in the parties in that parish in Sacramento when I finished the first day a young man came to me and he said Andres you remember me and I said no I'm sorry I don't remember you please please tell me where we met before he told me Andres you remember this youth prayer group and when he began to talk he looks like the man with the green hair you know he was very similar he continued talking yeah he was the man with the orange hair I said yeah of course I remember you he told me Andres remember our last conversation at that moment I remember what was our last conversation the man dress I listen to you I said yeah you went to the other prayer group that I recommend you he told me no no no I stay in this prayer group and one day after the teaching after the preaching we were in a moment of prayer and Andres I experienced the love of God has never before I don't know what happened in that moment I have never encountered Jesus really in that moment I I felt the presence of Jesus that he's alive and at that moment my life could not continue the same and he looks completely different you know very well dressed up you know completely different I gave him a hug he told me Andres my life the external part you know was not important thing but my life was a very disorder life I was in drugs I was with different woman every week and I believed him because he was a very handsome man that all the women you know all the girls in the prayer group were looking to him say a very life in sin but since that night since that evening my life changed completely I a new person I give him a hug I say I'm so happy for you thank you for sharing that the Simone I said no Andres but it's more and I thought what more could be here you know what more could be here this conversion this transformation about a personal encounter with Jesus and he told me Andres since six months ago I'm the coordinator of June ministry in the parties in the church you know what a powerful transformation when a person have a personal encounter with Jesus we need to really when they came to our parishes when they come to our prayer groups when they come to our son they mass what we are doing not just to bring information to them not just to talk too many things about God but really that they have can have a personal encounter with Jesus you know I can be here chairing several testimonies about personal encounters but I always remember this quote from Evangelica of you tree Paul Francis a I invite all Christians everywhere at this very moment to a renewed personal encounter with Jesus or at least an openness to letting him encounter then it's very interesting he's no inviting everyone he's inviting all Christians and you think because we are Christian that means that we follow Christ that means that we have a personal encounter with Jesus but the Pope Francis say we need to renew that personal encounter every day I have a priest and I a friend that he's a priest he told me a few years ago he told me Andres I have been a priest for 33 years I have been a priest for 33 years but I met Jesus only 20 years ago I have been a priest for 33 years but I only met Jesus 20 years ago say what are you talking about father and he started to share his testimony about how you know he really have a personal encounter with Jesus before he just have information about Jesus yeah he was a seminarian he was a decon he was a priest but his ministry you know a lot of his time was just talking about Jesus but no habit a real personal encounter with the Lord the spheres how we are doing with our personal encounter with Jesus every day but it's not just about to have a personal encounter with Jesus it's how we are following Jesus how we are being disciples of Jesus let me tell something here to the connection between disciples and missionaries in 2007 I have the blessing to be in a parisita Brazil you know one of the conference of Catholic bishops from Latin America and the Caribbean they made in different places and the last meeting was in a parisita Brazil I don't know if you are familiar with a parisita but a parisita is like the Guadalupe in Brazil you know there's a kind of thing you know millions of pilgrimage goes every year to a parisita in Brazil in 2007 was the last conference and they write the document of a parisita a poor Benedict system was there you know to close the conference and in 2007 like three months after the conference and we were there to celebrate the 40 anniversary of the Catholic charismatic renewal and we were in a parisita for different reasons but one of the reasons was a we don't want that is just another document we want to see how we can bring this into our reality and I sure that you know that the main editor the main editor of the document of a parisita was Cardinal Bergoglio Cardinal Jorge Maglio Bergoglio now Paul Francis in Latin America we were very used to here since 2007 we need to be disciples and missionaries you know and there is a continental mission going in Latin America about evangelization and we were very familiar about that when Paul Francis rise the apostolic exhortation the joy of the gas spell he says something very interesting he say he's no disciples and missionaries it's like only one war we are talking about unity we are talking about unity with with caricacys and evangelization unity between disciples chief and missionaries he say no two different wars is no disciples and missionaries is missionary disciples missionary disciples how we are following Jesus and again I preaching to the choir here but how is our life as disciples and I was you know hearing Mary Healy you know this morning telling us about how we are believing you know in the power of Jesus in the power of Jesus how we are being forming as disciples and I can tell you so many things about disciple chief that I'm not gonna spend the time here because we know we need to pray we need to listen to God we need to be familiar with the world of God and I sure we do that every day but my point about disciple chief is we are allowing Jesus to really teach us how to be like him how to be like him disciple chief is not just about to know what Jesus was doing it's about what Jesus is doing today through my life through my ministry when was the last time and again I don't want to see any any hand just in our heart when was the last time that somebody told that we were Jesus when was the last time my brothers priests seminarians deacons lay people when was the last time that somebody told that I andres was Jesus that you were Jesus I know saying that we are God I sure you are understanding what I'm talking about but when was the last time that somebody told that we were Jesus because we speak like Jesus we love like Jesus we forgive like Jesus we give our life as Jesus when was the last time that knowing the chores no one we were doing the liturgy but when was the last time that probably outside somebody told hey who are you because you live in a different way you look in a different way you love in a different way we need to be not just followers of Jesus you know outside the world is tired to hear about God they hear about God every day the world today they need to see God through us they need to see God through us disciple chief it means how we allow Jesus to for us that we can bring his presence to others you have the blessing to bring the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist every day you especially you my brother please but how we are bringing the presence of Jesus not just in the Eucharist but in the society every day in the world every day we need to be missionary disciples for the reason Paul Francis said is no disciples and missionaries because to be a missionary is not just to talk about Jesus that is easy you can go to a university all of us most of us here a master in theology probably some of you have a PhD that is easy you learn things about God and you go to talk about God but the real thing is to impact the life of a person it's by the power of the Holy Spirit and we are being really disciples transformed by the power of Jesus when we are missionaries talking about Jesus people are gonna experience a transformational thing in their life and to be a disciple is not just to learn from God it's not just to learn about God it's not just to be you know in the in the feet of Jesus as Mary but when we have that encounter with Jesus automatically we are gonna be sharing with others I always put the example of a couple of teenagers they are dating from the for the first time and when they are dating for the first time they want to talk all day you know all day they want to be I don't know if they told right now probably it's was sad or you know but they want to be in communication the whole day usually when I go to some retreats or conference I ask the people one question and usually I ask them to raise their hands I know gonna ask here to raise their hands because I ensure all of you are gonna raise your hand but my question is very easy are you in love with Jesus are you in love with Jesus usually the people raise their hands you know and I ask the question again are you really in love with Jesus that every Saturday you can no sleep you know you are in your bed and you can no sleep because you are watch you are seeing you watch every five minutes because you want to wake up to go to the Sunday mass to have a personal encounter with Jesus you want to have a conversation the whole night to go into intimacy with Jesus the next day and people start to put their hands down you know because the real question and I think is for us here also the real question is no we are in love with Jesus I'm sure we are in love with Jesus because if no I was gonna be seeing my daughter to see about Moana or I was gonna be watching the soccer game you know Spain versus Iran in this moment you know I'm probably we're watching some baseball games in this moment but we are here because we love Jesus but the real question is how much we love Jesus how much we love Jesus to be a disciple of Jesus it's not just to be with Jesus it's to allow Jesus to transform our life is to allow Jesus to him into us and we can share his face his love with others let me tell you and I'm gonna end with this testimony one moment what even in the chain my life completely you know I don't have time to share my whole testimony of my life here but I was baptized when I was two months old I went to a Catholic school from kindergarten until I graduated from high school all my life had been with God but I always say I just encounter Jesus when I was 18 years old when I went to a charismatic prayer group after a miraculous healing in the life of my dad my dad was sick for four years very sick lost his job in hospital in clinics for years and a miracles healing after a priest pray for him his life was transferred I had my personal encounter with Jesus when I was 18 years old but I have a second encounter with Jesus a powerful encounter with Jesus that changed my life a few years ago at that time I was living in California and they are some of those moments that we think that we are very holy very holy you know and I say to me Andres you know because on time I Andres 40 see I have 40 see many times I was thinking that was very holy because it was a normal day in my life in the morning I was doing my master in theology you know I oh I was studying the things about God you know what are really good things in the afternoon I used to work part-time with the sister of mercy I don't know if you are familiar I'm sure you are familiar with the sister of mercy they used to have a company called Mercy housing that basically we will build in homes for poor people in the morning I was in the university in the afternoon I was working building homes for poor people and in the evenings I was a volunteer serving at the coordinator of the charismatic renewal in the diocese this all my day was about God studying about God serving the people and after that giving my free time in meetings prayer groups but one night changed my life completely after finish my job I went to a party some we finish a meeting like around 10 p.m. at that moment I was single at that moment I said I'm gonna go to eat something and at that time 10 p.m. in California the best place to go is a Mexican taqueria you know a Mexican taqueria this I went to a Mexican taqueria and you know I was gonna enter the restaurant and I saw a homeless woman was a homeless woman with a shopping cart she was walking down the street and when I saw her andres farisi farisi andres I run faster to enter to the restaurant but she saw me and she say hey sir can you give me something I'm told to her you know with a big smile I put my hand in my pocket I give a couple of dollars to her and after I say God bless you and I again wrong to enter the taqueria when I was gonna enter she called me again say sir I told she's gonna tell me that I give you a few money she's gonna tell me that daddy said no enough I'm told to her no with a big smile now because I was losing my patience you know more serious say yes how can I help you that moment was probably 10 30 11 p.m. knowing one of the best neighbors of the city of Sacramento and she told me sir will you give me a hack will you give me a hack in that moment so many things came to my mind farisi andres farisi I say well probably this woman is gonna have a knife and she's gonna give me something to me that was the time of this like H1N1 flu you know something like that say for sure this woman is gonna have that I'm not gonna give a hack to her so many things in my mind farisi and I telling you because when I remember this testimony every time I cannot believe it I still I cannot believe it and I telling you no because Andres I telling these because Jesus because the power of the Holy Spirit when he moved inside us can you give me a hack that a few second of those many things in my mind I give her a hack she hugged me she start to cry to weep and people say men don't cry no I cry more than anyone you know and it's okay to cry you know it's okay to we are you as crying weeping with that woman in that parking lot I don't know probably we were like that probably you know a minute like that after that you know we finished she told me God bless you at that moment I I don't have to I don't want to eat anything I just want to go to my home I went to my car I was driving home I never saw this woman again and let me tell you I used to go to that taqueria probably three days per week I don't know why she was living on the streets I don't know if she was married I don't know where were their children her husband I don't know I hope that something happened in the life of that woman that evening I hope so but the thing that I can tell you my brothers is that something happened in my life I was the lucky man that was in that parking lot that day at that time because she didn't want a hack from Andres she didn't want she won a hack from a human being and I was the lucky one that was at that moment in that parking lot because again I hope that something happened in her life but for sure something happened in my life I have never experienced the love of God the presence of God as I say speaking in that parking lot and I changed my life because hey Andres what extraordinary are you doing you know you are losing your time a student a master in theology building homes for the poor people giving your free time to the chores in the charismatic renewal you are losing your time if you don't have a couple of seconds a couple of minutes to give love to those who need love that night something happened in my life because I was wasting my time yeah 24 hours per day I was thinking that was a holy man I was going to heaven I was the perfect one but it really was losing my time because I was doing the things of God but I was not having time to be a missionary disciple not just to know God but to bring the presence of God to others my brothers catechesis and evangelization yeah we need to bring the message of God we need to present God but in a transformational way we need to bring together catechesis and evangelization and we need to bring together disciple chief a mission no to be any more disciples sometimes and missionaries other times because the authentic missionary the authentic disciple has every day a personal encounter with Jesus and every day is something inside of us that move to share the presence of Jesus with others heavenly father thank you for your love for your kindness for your providence this afternoon we ask you that you give to us the gift of the Holy Spirit that every day we can have a personal encounter with Jesus that every day we can fell in love with Jesus and that every second of our life we share the presence and the love of Jesus with our brothers and sister around us thank you Jesus for your presence thank you Holy Spirit for your love amen bless you


Welcome to the Crimson Engine, my name is Rebedium. Today we are talking about sound. Now, sound is often described as the Achilles' heel of the independent filmmaker, and that was definitely true on the last short film that I made, Neon Noir. I had a couple of very cheap, older, wireless labs and a Sennheiser mic that I got years ago, and very quickly the lab stopped working, we didn't have a boom pole, we ended up doing all the sound on the film with the Sennheiser tape to a light stand with gaffer tape, and it was just sort of a nightmare. After that experience, I made the decision to educate myself more about sound, and that's what I want to pass on today. I also built up a bit of a kit of sound gear. It's not the, you know, professional level stuff that you'll see on a Hollywood movie set, but I didn't really want to pay for that since I'm not a sound person, and a lot of the time when I'm shooting commercials, I'm hiring a sound person who brings their own stuff. This was going to be things that I could shoot for my own independent and personal projects so that if I could bring someone along or even pay someone a little bit of money for the day, I could sit them down, give them a quick class about how to use the stuff and get professional sounding audio with not that much trouble. There are two main ways on set that we record dialogue. The first is a shotgun microphone. The second are lavalier microphones. Now the shotgun is usually operated by the sand mixer on the end of a boom pole. He or she keeps it as close to the mouth of the speaker as possible without getting into frame, and often the sand mixer or the boom operator on set will coordinate with the camera operator to find out where his frame is, meaning how tight is he, what lens is he on, how close can he get the microphone into the top of the frame without being seen. Like I said, I do have a Sennheiser mic that I use for a lot of my jobs, but it's older. It's kind of fraying a little bit. I think I've taken it out of the studio more, so I went around looking for a microphone that I could basically take into the field that I would get good sound quality from that had a modern wiring that was reliable, but wasn't too expensive. I found this one. It comes in two varieties, a long and a short. The long has a battery in it, so it doesn't need phantom power. This is the short, which gets phantom power through an XLR cable from your camera or your recorder. For something that's less than $200, it has absolutely brilliant sound. It's really resilient. It's really small and transportable. Basically works really well for what it is. The sound coming out of it matches really well with my $650 plus Sennheiser, and so now if I need two shotgun mics on set, I can use both of these without feeling like they're not going to match. So there are two ways to record audio on set. One is to go straight into the camera with an XLR or with a wireless transmitter. The second way is to record into a portable recorder like this Zune H4n Pro. This gives off phantom power, so it will power the mic. And if you have the mic on the end of a boom, you can adjust the levels as you go with this. So the mic can be at the end of the boom, and this can be next to the sound recorder, so you can see how loud or quiet the people are talking. And if your dialogue is in that sweet spot between minus 12 and minus 6 decibels, which is where you sort of want to be recording your voices. So there are two ways to record audio on set. One is into a mixer, one is to go straight into the camera. I actually like to do both, which means that if any one of those two things fails, you have the second one as a backup. So I like to do my wireless labs right into the camera, and I like to do my shotgun on a boom held by the sound mixer into an independent recorder. And I use Premiere to sync them up afterwards through the waveforms. So I don't mess around with timecode. If I'm doing a single camera shoot, pretty easy to keep them in sync. Speaking of boom poles, this is the Aure CFP512R. It is a carbon fiber boom pole that has the XLR at one end and an XLR output at the other end, and has the cable threaded through the pole itself. It's really light. It extends really far. It is much easier than using a light stand gaffer taped with the legs together. And generally is going to add to your professionalism on set and add to your ability to get the mic where you want it to get. Because it's carbon fiber is much, much easier to hold. There is a thing when recording audio called the proximity effect. If you get the mic too close to the person's mouth, you end up getting that radio announcer voice, that very deep rumble. If you keep it sort of at arm's reach, you still manage to preserve those that crisp high end, especially the female voices. And it sounds a lot more natural rather than the bass boosted Larry King's proximity effect. So that is the shotgun. What about the lavalier? If you've noticed that the audio has changed, it's because I've changed over to this wireless lavalier setup. It is also made by Senol. This is the AWS 2000 transmitter pack combined with the UTM86 lavalier microphone. And as you can hear, it is a really nice audio as well. It's different. You're just going to get a different sound from a lav than you're going to get with a shotgun. That's why it's great to do both not just for fault tolerance and for safety. Some voices and some locations sound better on a shotgun. Some voices and some locations sound better on a lavalier. When you have both, you're able to choose between the two of them and decide which one you like better for which scene and which voice. The other time you really need to use a lavalier is when you're in a really wide shot and you can't hide or get the mic close enough to the actors. Lavaliers also give a lot more freedom to move around, though you do have to hide them in the person's wardrobe. So if you've got actors who aren't wearing any clothes, that can be really hard. The mic comes with a variety of mounting options and clips, including this really brilliant one, which is a magnet.  You just put the piece of metal on one side and the mic on the other and it sticks there. If you're shooting to camera, it's always good to get a third and an environmental sound for your audio. This can be sound that you can use for your Foley track. It can be used for the soundtrack of the film or it can generally just be a reference. If things get really crazy and both the shotgun and your lavaliers either peek out or something goes wrong, that means you have a third good quality audio track that you can use in the mix and maybe save the audio from the performance. This is an on-camera video mic. It's the Senel SCS98. It comes with a shock mount that goes into a cold shoe, runs on batteries. You can boost the levels or reduce the levels. You can turn it on and off and you can do a low cut as well to take out any hum. I tend to use this on set on my behind-the-scenes camera where I don't want to use a separate shotgun mic, but at the same time I don't want to go with the mic that's internal to the camera, which is almost always unusable. This can get me audio of people on set. That's not necessarily studio quality, but definitely good enough to use on a behind-the-scenes YouTube. That is my new audio setup, three new mics and a new transmitter and a new boom pole that I'm able to hopefully take my audio recording to the next level. In the next video of this series we're going to look at post-production audio and the things that I've learned in using the audio once it's been shot to add them and get them the best quality possible for your short film if you're not a professional audio person. If you're just a writer-director producer like me but you don't have the budget or the availability of a specialist sound mixer, you can actually go 90% of the way there if you just learn a few quick things and have a few quick tools to get your movies and your productions sounding awesome. Check the description for links and prices of all this gear. Also check the link for the second part of this mixing audio in post. Thanks very much for watching guys, I will see you next time.


What is up guys? So I had this great idea of being able to use my clips to do a little bit of a tutorial for the backboard dunk because what was holding me back from making a tutorial was because I was thinking I have to go out and actually be in the field on the court, do the dunks and as I'm doing it explaining because I figured that would be the best way but I'm like why can't I just take some clips and kind of analyze them so that's what I'm going to do. I'm going to have a screen recording going so I'll do that now. I'm not good at this. Okay so this is my first screen recording slash vlogging thing so I'm going to bear with me but I think it's going to be really helpful. So it's weird because I'm talking here but it's right here and you're seeing the same thing so you're seeing what I'm seeing. So basically what I have here is just a few different clips I took of myself and just to start off with the backboard dunk I really think it is all about placement and timing. Timing is probably number one. I probably could have gotten a backboard dunk before I've gotten other dunks specifically the windmill and I really think if you can do a basic dunk at all you can probably get a backboard dunk as your next dunk or even as if you can do any dunk meaning if you can do a lob dunk where you just catch and put it in or if someone throws it up or even a dribble dunk. I think you can get a backboard dunk simply for the fact that if you throw it right and the right timing it's basically putting it in the same spot as if you were doing a dribble dunk or a lob dunk. So if this is the rim you can throw it off the backboard lightly and it's all about timing. So the timing is the hardest part it's hard to throw the ball at the right speed and right things I'm going to get into that a little bit but if you throw it with the right amount of power comes off the backboard at the right angle and you time it right it'll come like right here and all you do is catch it and put it in just like a lob when it bounces it'll put it right there. So that's kind of what I want to explain and for me I went straight to a windmill just because that was my goal I never really thought of backboard dunks and just was more amped to get a windmill and that's why my backboard dunks I don't even have too many examples of me doing basic ones but I do have some examples of me doing some light backboard dunks during my warm ups just because they keep me jumping correctly but yeah so a lot of mine came after I had enough height to do a windmill so that's why I'm able to throw it off the backboard and kind of have some extension but I'll try to get into all that and just try to get you your first backboard dunk so hopefully that's helpful. So if we come look at the very first clip this is your boy throwing a light one so let's just play the clip really quick this is like warming up for a dunk of course my computer is lagging when I'm trying to do screen capture so let's see if I can help that out at all so if you take a look at this I'm throwing it I'm very close to the rim but I'm just warming up and I'm just taking a few steps and I throw it kind of in a higher angle which you'll see later I throw more of a line drive so the higher angle it's not going to come off the backboard as fast which is going to keep it closer to the rim which is easier just to catch and dunk so for this warm up as you see it's just off the backboard I catch it and I don't have that much extension it's pretty straight and I miss but you get the point I think this is 10-2 by the way just to make my make me look better maybe it's not actually I don't remember but anyway the point is it's a very basic one it comes off the backboard almost if it's a lob like if I showed you this pat right here you can't tell if I went off the dribble off the lob you can't really tell that's the point if you catch it right there I didn't even do the easiest backboard you can do I threw it and it's it was coming down it's like almost under the rim and I have to bring it up a little bit so if I were to time it a little bit better jump a little sooner I would have been able to catch it above the rim and then probably dunk this one but I had to bring it up and that took a little bit of my vertical away so that's why I missed this dunk if that makes sense now just to look at the timing which will go through as a progression through the rest of the clips I'm throwing it and right as it's touching glass like almost before I'm already gathering if you see my gather my foot's already coming onto the ground that penultimate step right there should be a lot a little longer let me show you so this step right here is the penultimate step and when I get full speed when it's not warm up that step is huge and that's kind of I'm already in that gather before it even hits the glass most of the time so I'm jumping as it's coming off so when it's coming off the glass I'm already going up and it's coming off this way as I'm already in the air so that way I'm catching and we'll see that later in clips but basically as you see I'm already I'm not on my way up yet but that's what kind of threw this one off a little bit see if I would have jumped a little sooner I might have been able to but my timing's not as good with the low tosses I got really used to throwing it hard and having it come off fast so I have to jump like super fast okay so let's go the next one I think it's another light one same thing a little low a little more extension a little bit but same type of deal if I would it's hard with the slow toss in the slow approach but if I would have jumped a little sooner I could have caught it right there and just put it right in so that's the tricky part is when you throw a light toss you want you can't throw it from far because it's hard to throw a light toss from far because it's going to come off with a lot more force but if I were to able to jump or throw it a little softer you can throw it really close to the rim and just put it in and I think I have another light one here okay so now another light one just try to play it see if it lags super light but I was also warming up and it was a little slippery this day this video is one of my latest ones I posted I think two videos ago maybe three I forget but as you see I'm kind of I kind of have a little rhythm too I kind of always pick it up around the elbow left hand I don't really focus on left hand but I kind of get a good toss and I always throw it with my right so kind of throw it across my body and then gather right as it comes off the glass and I'm jumping as it and just like the last one if I jumped a little sooner or I threw it a little higher it I could have caught it earlier and then just put it right in but this one I'm kind of having to bring it back a little bit bring it up and in and I was jumping a little better this day so it was a little easier but the timing is not optimal but my point of this one is when I'm doing it light and I'm not throwing crazy extension you could see there's a little more of an arc on the toss that's so it's not coming off so far from the rim so I don't have any good examples of me throwing a really light toss just because I think my tosses are crazy and my light ones are still like not the most optimal for a backward dunk but you can make it optimal if you trust trying to get a backward dunk dunk off the glass to get started you could throw it a little lighter a little higher and it'll just come right off by the rim all right so now I think this is one more light one this might be the best one that's a little light I'll play that one more time it's I know it's lagging so again same kind of form same timing of my jump but this I think I jumped a little sooner so I have an almost no extension almost perfect timing pretty good it's might I say pretty good it's a good for me but like I'm saying if you can't if you don't have that much room to be able to catch it and cock it back I'll even a little bit because that's how I started I'm already jumping a little higher than I need to be to do a backward dunk but if you're just at the point where you could just barely backward dunk you could jump a little just throw it off a little lighter like I try to throw it light but it still comes off but you could try to throw it a little bit of an upward thing so it kind of barely goes jump a little sooner but this one's almost perfect so you just need a little room to spare that's why I think it's a great dunk to do after you get your first dunk just because you stay upright it forces you to jump up you don't have time to really gather you have to jump quick because it's coming off backwards and then it puts it right up there for you and then that's about it so I think that's pretty much it about the the basic backboards the light backboards and that one is like very little extension and pretty close to the rim just put it down I hope that's pretty good for the basics it's hard because I don't have a good example of me doing a very very basic one but here's one more basic one this one was tend to but I'm jumping hard on this one so as you see I'm jumping right as it comes off the glass my timing is really good but it's coming off us a little bit of force so it makes me come reach back forward a little bit and then just that's pretty much it so there's not much extension on these yet the timing is the most important you could even throw it like really soft so it just comes right off the rim and if you come for more of an angle then when you throw it it won't come off this way far from the rim it'll it'll go more to the side but then that way it won't be so far from the rim and you don't have to extend you could just catch and put it in so these are my light ones it's hard to it's hard to find a light one like I said okay I like my my reaction at the end like whatever and this is another light one okay so this is kind of like in the middle this is where I throw it a little harder I'm trying to get myself going still same timing I'm always about jumping right here so that way when I'm at my peak it's right above me and this one has a little more extension so you see the force of it coming off the backboard is causing me to extend a little bit and it's like it's hard to just catch and push it forward that's why the light tosses are less extension same timing about but you don't have as much crazy extension so the backboard almost forces me to extend that's why I really like them because I just have to throw that thing and go get it and it almost like forces me to extend if that makes any sense I don't know if I'm doing a good job explaining how to do this dunk yet but we'll see so comes off I catch it right at its peak at my peak I'm still going up a little bit but a little bit of extension and then I finish so again you want to throw it when you're so you throw it take a step and then it's my plant I'm already going into my plant so I take like I'm throwing it on my right foot always take one step and then I'm into my gather that makes sense and then I'm jumping as it's coming off the glass already and now we get to the good stuff my some of my better ones and right from this little screenshot already you already see I'm like getting into my gather and it hasn't even come towards the glass yet so same thing throw it take one big left step then I'm ready into my gather as it's coming off glass I'm jumping and I'm catching it and it's coming off fast like I threw this one fast if you watch I know it's laggy but son of a gun I got it I guess my computer can't really handle the screen recording but it's coming off just watch the ball it's coming off the glass at a line drive so it's coming off a lot more force than the other ones now if I was jumping the same speed with a lighter toss it would have just been a less extended backboard dunk but the timing is the most important and that's the hardest thing as you're jumping higher you're throwing it you have to jump faster so I'm running faster and throwing the ball faster so just try to I think most of the time when if you're able to win mull dunk or you're if you're like at the level where you want like a big backboard dunk like you're trying to do like next level you're gonna want to try to throw it a little harder off the glass because when it comes when you throw it slow and you're trying to run towards the backboard it's going to come off slow and it's going to throw everything off a little bit there's a video where me and is there at UCF and he's doing right left and I'm kind of helping him with right left and you can kind of see his progression that session where he throws it harder and harder off the glass the point is also is when you throw it off the glass and it's coming off harder you have to jump to react to the ball you don't really have time you don't really have time to even like get down low and try to go for it you just have to like react that's why I really like them and that's like why the faster tosses help me jump better also like I got better at the harder backboard tosses than the basic ones and even like right now when I jump higher when I throw a bad backboard toss I jump worse just because the fast backboard tosses come off quick I have to jump quick I'm looking up I'm staying upright and it helps me jump better bang bang a ring yeah so basically jump same timing catch it and then just I just focus on I just focus I literally just focus on throwing the the ball in the right placement I didn't really talk about that yet but I come from this angle I'm right left so I throw it like just to the right of the square and it comes off basically right down the middle and so I'm jumping if this is I don't know if this is helpful let's see so when I'm looking at it I'm coming from a little bit of an angle and I throw it and then by the time I jump it's it's a little bit to my right but then it's coming like right at me and I just just catch it so I just go right up for it and it's right here I don't feel like I'm doing a great job but if you look at it here it's a little bit to the right of the square and it's off an angle you could see it kind of angled and then I'm jumping straight in the front of the rim and it's right at the front of the rim but then the force brings it back and all I think about is throwing it in the right place with the right amount of speed usually pretty hard just because I wanted to come off and I want extension and then I just focus on catching it and finishing I'm not even worried about the extension the extension just happens so there are times where if you throw a light toss and you have a good amount of hops and you want to do extension you can if it's a light toss this forces me to do the extension but if you do a light toss you can catch it have time to bring it back and then do it but that's not what I'm doing I'm not really catching it and bringing it back I'm just trying to catch it and the force of the ball is making me do the extension if that helps I hope this is insightful for the backboard master okay so now we're on to the latest and greatest of my backboard attempts I was feeling it this day this was my first backboard attempt same timing ball came off good oh this is a light one this is like a warm-up one so back to the warm ups so as you can see I'm kind of like throwing a little bit more of an arc it's not coming off the backboard as speedy as the last one and I'm catching it and I had to bring it up that's kind of why I miss I'm still warming up in this clip but if I would have jumped a little better or thrown a little bit higher I might have been not have to bring it up over the rim but this is kind of what you want to do anyway just when you're trying to do a basic backboard dunk but as you can see there is some room to improve to make an optimal backboard dunk and that's that so I missed but you can see the timing is there just the placement of the ball might be a little bit too low I could have thrown a little bit higher just so you maybe on an upward angle a little bit more so it doesn't come down it's under the rim when I catch it and then there's this baby right here I don't even think I timed it that great but the look how low the ball is the ball is not that high but since I'm throwing it in on it so hard towards the backboard it's coming directly off like a line drive and then I'm catching it not even that far from the rim but the extent I almost lost it here my fingertips grabbed it but the the velocity of the ball coming at me caused all the extension and I was able to hold on to it and I had enough height while I was still going up to backboard it I mean to back rim it so that was a good one but at the same time I still didn't really time it that great a lot of these are I'm jumping a tad late just because well maybe not it's just that I'm not jumping that high like if you want you could jump a little bit even sooner not even sooner I think it's okay but if this was like a lower rim I would have destroyed it but let's see the next one same rim same thing just trying to crush it again I think this one would see this toss was a little low even though it came a line drive it's not even above the rim right here it's like rim level so it's coming down already so I think if I were to throw in a little higher and jump I'm jumping pretty close too I think that was also my problem but I still jumped pretty well so I was able to get the ball up but look how low I'm catching the ball I'm learning too from doing this and I back and I miss it but I had a lot of room to spare and the point of this one is that I'm throwing it really hard off the glass to be able to get this like extension let's go to the next one so this one you can see is a little bit higher already just on that little clip probably my best one and I did this was my best one and you might think I made that dunk based on that clip but it popped out so that could happen too everything could go right and you miss seemed to happen a lot this session so this one was pretty perfect as you can see I kind of placed it even more right like that was almost like directly in the center of the square on the side of the backboard but that's not really intentional it's just kind of anywhere to the right of the square it comes off at an angle but I think with this one I jumped better and the ball was like the perfect height it's above the rim and I timed it really well and it came off and it looks pretty good there and then I should have banged it I even had my whole freaking wrist in there I wish you would play without lag so yeah it's it was pretty good and I should have banged it but I think that was probably the most perfect one of this video so far um yeah so a lot of these I look like I'm taking off too close a little bit which could be uh that also makes me extend because I'm like too close I'm like reaching but um that's another thing too is a lot of times before I was taking off too close now I think this is kind of the sweet spot because I know how to like jump with it but um kind of trying to uh try out what you feel is best and I think this is a little too close but it's also at the same time pretty good like if I were to jump I'm trying to get extension so I'm jumping like pretty close so it comes off I'm not really trying to get extension but like it's just where I'm jumping to because it was the 10 foot rim and I'm used to banging them on like lower ones because I suck but yeah so just mainly the timing of the backboard and when it comes off is the main thing you want to look at so try to record yourself throw it off the backboard see when you jump and when you catch it because if I would have thrown it softer and caught it right here on my way up there would have been no extension it would have been just like a like a lob dunk or a dribble dunk so if you can mimic the timing of when your ball your hand is on the ball by the rim to from a backboard dunk to a lob dunk or dribble dunk that's your optimal backboard dunk and the point is it's achievable if you throw the right ball like with the right amount of speed the right angle and you jump at the right time timing the jump with the when it comes off the glass is probably the hardest part and you can really get a good backboard dunk I missed all of them okay so yeah let's see what's wrong with this one so again this one's coming off pretty low but and it has velocity so it's like making me extend so these are not the best examples but the point is I'm going a little extra on these ones I'm trying to get the extension I'm just throwing it hard and like letting it pull me back but that's what you need to think about when you're progressing so at first throw it a little lighter but when you throw it lighter still try to jump hard so you might want to throw it up from further so you kind of have to catch up and go get it and I hope this is helpful I don't know if it was do I need to go back to the other ones so if we want to just come full circle and look back at the warm-up ones that I had these might be better for you if you're just learning how to do them but like this one was a little low but if I were to throw it a little bit more of an angle so it came off a little bit less of a far from the rim the timing is there just a little bit too low I could have jumped a little bit sooner as you see I'm jumping as it's kind of coming down so if I want to throw it a little bit lighter so it barely kisses the glass but I can jump as it's touching the glass I can jump and I could have jumped like right now instead of like I could have been at this point of my jump back here so that way when I jump and the ball is right there I could catch it and just put it in but instead it's coming coming coming and then I'm catching it then I'm trying to bring it up and doing that so if you're just starting out try throwing a light toss see I kind of threw an underhand like really lobby toss like very archy but it took me too long to jump so I think this is probably the best example of what you want to do but even this I threw a little bit too hard so it came off far from the rim and I'm still a little bit back so throw it even a little bit higher so it just kisses the glass and kind of just like comes off almost like a layup but just in front of the rim so you would throw it but then my timing is good on this one but I would just normally just jump up and it's if the ball the timing is really good but the ball should be up here like right here so I'm just jumping and I would reach reach reach instead of reaching back like I'm doing letting it catch catching it there I could reach up and the ball would be like right here and then I put it in I could do a part two of this if this was not helpful but I hope it was helpful I can do a windmill next and between the legs I hope this screen sharing vlog sharing space sharing type thing is helpful I really think it's a great way to for me to kind of go through some clips show you the technique I'm thinking about right now I'm thinking about if there's anything I'm thinking about that I need to explain about this dunk um I think I covered it but let me know what you think I'm really curious I really hope this is helpful uh I'll also and well I'll also answer any questions you have in the comments as you but yeah uh so to summarize um if you're just beginning out throw it light but focus on the timing try to record yourself try to catch it right when it comes off the glass because you may think it has to come off the cloud come off the glass and then you jump but it comes off quick it's a it bounces quick even if you throw a light toss it still comes off quick and it falls quick as you see so throw it light but jump as it's bouncing off the glass or even a little sooner I think the sooner the better because you're up there and you get it um and then when you're starting to throw harder tosses definitely jump sooner than you think a lot of times I see people and they're throwing it and they're waiting for it to come off to go jump but then by the time they go jump it's it's past them so I think that kind of sums up my point to make it a more visual or at least make sense in your head so when you're throwing it harder you're gonna I'm already thinking about jumping it's a little bit more mentally challenging than when you visually see it because it looks like it's easy to time but when you're throwing it you're you're thinking you need to jump after it comes off the glass but the truth is you got to think about jumping the plant before you even see it come off the glass and that's what you don't see here it looks like I'm jumping when it comes off the glass but I'm really like already planting to jump before it even gets off the glass so I'm jumping like before it gets off the glass and taking off as it's coming off so it's definitely earlier than you think I hope that makes sense but I think that's it let's friggin yam right throw that thing off hard go get it practice on a low rim and bang them out


Hello and welcome to the session the question says find the derivative of the following functions from the first principles. Second part is minus x raised to the power minus one. Let us now start with the solution and let us denote fx is equal to minus x raised to the power minus one which can further be written as one upon minus x. Now let us find the value of the function at the point x plus h to be one upon minus of x plus h. Now this can further be written as minus one upon x by multiplying the numerator and denominator by minus one and similarly the multiplying the denominator and numerator by minus one here we have minus one upon x plus h. Now let us find the first derivative of the given function which according to the first principle is given by limit as h approaches to 0 f at x plus h minus fx upon h. Now let us substitute the value of the function at the point x plus h and x. So we have minus one upon x plus h minus of minus one upon x upon h this is further equal to limit as h approaches to 0 minus one upon x plus h plus one upon x upon h. This further equal to limit as h approaches to 0 for solving the numerator here we have x into x plus h minus of x plus x plus h upon h. This further equal to limit as h approaches to 0 minus x plus x on cancelling we have h upon x into x plus h into one upon h given further simplifying we have limit as h approaches to 0 one upon x square plus x h. This is further equal to one upon x square since with h approaches to 0 this terms become 0 and we are left with one upon x square. Thus our answer is with the help of first principle derivative of minus x face to the power minus one as one upon x square. So this completes the second part Hope you have understood it. Take care and have a good day.


The first one that I'm going to talk about now is the dashboard filter edit. So we know that lots of folks are building dashboards and you're building dashboards at high levels. And we've put a lot of time crafting these dashboards. They have certain a very specific narrative that is around the dashboard. And the people who are making the dashboards want to make sure the users of those dashboards are following that narrative, right? They're getting the point. And there are a lot of features on the dashboard that may detract or take away from that narrative. One of the major ones is the filter option. So if I click on the filter option, you can see that I can filter a dashboard by basically any dimension or unit, periods, area, donor, et cetera, that I have available to me as a user. Different users may have different dimensions, but if you're like an admin user, you probably would see everything. Many users would see dimensions that may not apply to that dashboard, meaning that they could apply one of these that doesn't necessarily, is not necessarily attributed to the data that may just kill their dashboard. It may break the dashboard. Essentially, nothing would show up. That could be very confusing. So now as a dashboard owner, I'm actually able to go into the edit. And I can see here we have an option called filter settings. And if I go to filter settings, I can have the option to allow filtering by dimensions or only allow filtering for selected dimensions. If I click only allow filtering for selected dimensions, then I'm able to see all of the dimensions that I have select that I have available to me and turn on the certain ones that I only want the users of this dashboard to be able to filter by.


Okay, some highlights from this week's newsletter. If you're into Python, every year there's the official Python developer survey. Please, please, please consider filling it out. It helps them figure out what things the Python foundation and the folks that are driving all the interesting things of Python do. Well, Jetpoint, they're the most popular editor for Python, so these are, you know, if you're using Python daily and there's like stuff you want Python to focus on, this is your chance to learn. Yeah, including things that are helpful for, you know, circuit Python, because it's all part of a core. There's Python. Yes. And then there is MicroPython and there's CircuitPython. It is all a big family, so if there's something Python, we'll probably have it in CircuitPython in some way. You can check out the rest of the projects. This week, we're going to do a couple of things. We're going to talk about something from Playground. And we're also going to play a video. This is the Making Music with CircuitPython and Raspberry Pi. We try to highlight some of the things from the community. This is a really well-put-together, so we're going to play, well-put-together video, so we're going to play this. It's from Pensacola Maker Faire. You can see. It's cool, like Todd, J.P. Yeah, if you're looking to do anything with music, you can check out this really neat Pico Sandbox demo and more. So do you check out all the projects? You can see all the things that people are doing with Python on hardware. Yeah. Pretty much anything that you can imagine, it's here. One thing I thought was interesting at the beginning, I forgot that it was in the newsletter, is GitHub had this big announcement about how their next generation of GitHub is going to be all co-pilot controlled. And I thought that was interesting because a lot of people do use co-pilot, particularly when they're using CircuitPython, because one of the benefits of the way Adafruit worked is we've been publishing thousands of guides and projects and tutorials and examples. And so not only is there documentation, but there's so many examples that chances are, if you want to build something with CircuitPython, co-pilot will be able to do a pretty good job, because it already knows all of the styles that we have for the Python. You can even interact with some of these AI systems, chat should be keeping when you can be like, I want to write the library in the style of Adafruit. And it used our code, and it will, because we allowed it. And well, I don't think it needs it. Yeah, it's trying to on it. Yeah, it's too late now. And say you'd be able to write libraries with an Adafruit style as well. So do check that out. But let's go over to Playground, because you wanted to talk about this, is using Android with CircuitPython. Yeah, let's just publish this. This is thanks to PR. Can you click on the PR Merge in CircuitPython? Because I want to get the person's name correct. We did it with ADCC. It did an excellent job either fixing up a bunch of our mass storage, not bugs, but just stuff that could be improved. And one of the things that they updated was a couple of bytes in the fat format NBR. Now let's Android mount the file system. And so you can have an Android phone or tablet plug in your Circuit Playground board. The mass storage shows up as a disk drive. And then you can open up. There's a bunch of free editors that Liz talks about that you can use to open a file, edit it, and save it. She gives a couple of hints. There's one way that works great and one way that does not work very well. But once you've got it working, you can also use the web portal to get to the serial port as well. So you can basically have a portable, no computer-acquired programming system. And it's funny, a lot of the things that the decisions that we made with Circuit Python come directly from me having the frustrating experience of having to debug, pick microcontrollers at Burning Man. And it was just unbelievably infuriating to like, oh, I don't have the right driver. I don't have the right IDE. I don't have the library. I don't have internet access. So being able to edit and tweak code on the fly using any computer or now any mobile phone, I'm getting close to making me 10 years ago happy. 15 years ago. So check that out. And the way to get to that is if you just go to learn.aidfruit.com and click Playground, you'll be able to see this. And so much more, Playground is a place where anybody can publish guides. Our team uses it, community uses it, lots of great guides, and more probably some familiar faces from the community. But this is where we put ones that are- Write something up if you want, if you're working on a project. And then when you're done, click that you want to show and tell the project and we'll feature it on the front page. Okay. And then getting back to what I was talking about before. Yeah, sorry. This is a great, no, it's okay. This is a really good video that was sent to us. So we're gonna play this. Since. You know, since. Snakes. Hello, everyone. I'd like to present to you today a little project I've been working on called the Pico Synth Sandbox. Name pending. After playing around with the new Audio Synthesis Library, Synth.io for Circuit Python, which came out earlier this year, I became very aware of both the power and limitations of this awesome new tool in order to add nearly all the functionality that you need and make the process of programming your own musical device extremely simple.  The Pico Synth Sandbox comes with nearly everything you need to make a variety of synthesizer projects. First and foremost, we have the star of the show, the Raspberry Pi Pico, which holds 256 kilobytes of RAM and one whopping megabyte of onboard flash memory to store your code. Next, a 12 key capacitive touch keyboard with full polyphony, but sadly no velocity or after touch. Then you have the choice between I2S or PWM audio output, depending on your preference and budget. One of my favorite features is a teeny tiny PDM omnidirectional microphone for you to record your own samples. In upfront and center, we have a 16 by two character LCD display with a rotary encoder to handle any menu diving you might need for your project. An absolute must have for any musical device is hardware MIDI input and output. In this case, we're using 3.5 millimeter jacks to send these digital signals. To hear your sound creations, we have a volume knob with both 3.5 millimeter line level and onboard speaker output. Last but not least, we also have a LiPo battery to power it all. In its current form, not every feature can be used simultaneously and has to be pre-configured beforehand. This device is still in its revision one infancy and there's much to improve in future board revisions. Many examples are available that show off how easy it is to get started with this device and the included hardware extraction library. Here are a few of my favorites. A bass heavy monophonic synthesizer. A complex filtered polyphonic synthesizer. An analog style drum machine with a 16 step sequencer. And a fun sampler using recorded audio from the included microphone. If you're interested in trying out this fun project for yourself, the PCB Gerber files and billet materials are available on the GitHub page down below in the video description as well as a quick getting started guide to get your Pico set up with Circuit Python and the Sandbox library. There are plenty of examples and library documentation on the Read the Doc site included below as well. And if you happen to be in the Pensacola, Florida area this upcoming weekend, November 11th, I'll be set up at the 2023 Pensacola Maker Faire to let visitors get hands on with this device and learn about Circuit Python and digital audio synthesis as a whole. Thank you all for letting me share what I've been working on lately. I hope you have a wonderful day.
