All right, if you can all take your seats, we'll get this show on the road. All right, so welcome to Real World Crypto 2020, the now largest IACR event focused on applied cryptography and trying to get academics and practitioners in the same room to talk about the latest and greatest in applied cryptography. So I'm the general chair. My name's Tom Riston-Parked. So if you have any problems, I guess you can complain to other people, but you can, of course, also come talk to me. Just some quick logistic stuff, and then I'll hand it off to Agilos, the program chair, to talk about the program. Very briefly, you're in this big room, the auditorium, and you came in through doors. There's restrooms over my right, your left. And there's more food and break space. It might get crowded during lunch. There's a whole other room downstairs. If you kind of go that way, turn right outside the doors here, you'll see that. And also, if we run out of run-law and seats here, there's a whole another section of seats up above that you can get to through the second floor. And there's some further breakout spaces that you're welcome to use. Finally, by registering and being here at the event, you've agreed to our Code of Conduct. We're committed to having an inclusive, welcoming event. And so if, unfortunately, there's any type of issues, please don't hesitate to reach out to myself or the Code of Conduct liaison, Tal Rabin, who's going to be here for part of the conference, or any of the other steering committee members who you can look up on the website. But I'm sure we'll have just a great event. Okay, with that, I'll hand it over to Agles. Okay, thanks, Tom. And thanks, everyone, for being here. I'm Agles Kajas, this year's program chair. So just a little bit about the stats of Real World Crypto 2020. We have 38 talks, 1227 contributed and 12 invited. Total number of submissions in the contributed part of the program were 75, and that was a 36% acceptance rate. And the breakdown was about 50% having a non-academic affiliation, so almost an even split. So the classic joke here, single most important factor to get your work in Real World Crypto, just have your work submitted. So very important to contribute, and we thank very much all the authors of Contributed Talks for sending their work for consideration in this year's program. So Real World Crypto welcomes groundbreaking Real World Research that has been or will be published. So we have no proceedings, but we also strongly encourage contributed submissions prepared solely for Real World Crypto. And so with this, like, start thinking about the program of 2021. For this year, we have 15 sessions with a great selection of topics, plus the left-in-price ceremony, which is gonna take place today, just before lunch, as well as the Lightning Talk session, which will be tomorrow. As Tom mentioned by attending Real World Crypto, you're a member of ISCR for 2021, unless you select it to opt out. And for those of you that are new to ISCR, this international sociological research runs a number of conferences in Symposia like Real World Crypto and Summer Schools. If you wanna know more about it or you wanna get the latest, please go to the website, www.icr.org. How many people are here today? So we've actually having the biggest Real World Crypto since the beginning of the conference. More than 642 people are interested now at the conference. And I should say also that many of you opted in for being members of the ISCR, and thank you very much for that, bringing actually the ICR membership count to the biggest count ever. Final word, Real World Crypto 2021.  So the submission deadline for contributing talks is gonna be sometime in the fall. So those of you that are interested in participating, please start thinking about how you can contribute. So thank you very much, and with this, I'll stop. Thank you all very much for being here, and I'm gonna pass it to Kenny Patterson, the session chair or our first program. All right. Okay, thank you very much, Agolas. Just to add one word to Agolas' introductory remarks. This year, you'll notice that we have many, many sponsors who are supporting Real World Crypto. I think we have a record number of sponsors this year, and I think we should just give them all a quick round of applause, and I'll explain why. So we use the sponsorship money for two things, mainly. One is to provide stipends so that students and early career researchers are able to attend the conference, and we've handed out dozens of stipends. We will be handing out dozens of stipends as a result of having that sponsorship, and we also use the sponsorship to keep the registration fee low. So the registration fee this year, including IACR membership, I think was around $250. If you go to ACM conference, you might pay $1,000, and here I think even the sandwiches are better.


2.5 exabytes of data are generated every day. This is equivalent to 90 years of high definition video. Humans alone cannot hope to process the volumes of data necessary to make informed decisions. We need assistance. We need artificial intelligence. The relationship and partnering between human and technology is increasingly important. Until now, humans have been the masters and technology the slaves. This needs to change. Today's AI systems are capable of achieving complex goals in an agile and flexible ways. However, while these systems are good at solving narrowly defined tasks, they don't know how to collaborate with a human or how to act as part of a problem-solving team. Increased processing power provides the opportunities to rectify this and has led to new modes of human-computer collaboration. My big idea is for humans and AI systems that I call software agents to work together. They have complementary expertise that can be harnessed to tackle difficult problems. I call such systems human agent collectives and my research at Imperial College London explores the science and the engineering of such systems. Our agents use Bayesian mathematics and machine learning to determine when to ask a human or another AI system for assistance and how to respond when their plans are modified or overridden. Our agents use distributed optimization technologies to determine who in the team is best placed to solve which task. Human agent collectives can be used for a variety of applications. Today, I'm going to focus on disaster response, where our technologies have been used in Haiti and Nepal. In particular, we've worked closely with Rescue Global, an international crisis response charity. Our agents summarize huge volumes of information in order to identify potential casualties. This information is a mix of text and photos and sensor readings. It's constantly changing and often incomplete. Human first responders on the ground can add trusted observations and the agents will rework their assessments to be consistent. First responders are adept at analyzing emerging views of a situation to identify areas of high uncertainty. They can then task the agents to manage the humans who have volunteered to help from afar. The agents can learn which humans are good at this task and place greater reliance on them. As the situation becomes clearer, the first responders act. Using their experience and intuition, they determine which response teams are best suited to which areas. The agents can then construct a schedule that minimizes completion time. The first responders can then either accept or tweak the plan as necessary. As information continues to come in, they jointly monitor the ongoing operation. The agents monitor incoming information streams to determine things that might change priorities. The humans monitor the response teams for unexpected difficulties or for delays. During the aftermath of the Nepal earthquake, Rescue Global used human agent collective technologies to determine the placement of water filters around Kathmandu. Using social media, satellite imagery and our smart agents, they identified 12 areas of need, four of which were previously unknown. Disaster response is but one application of these technologies and many of the partnerships in these systems will be of the type I've outlined. Others, however, will differ. In some cases, the AI will direct the humans, as happens with Uber drivers today. In other cases, the AI will replace the humans, as has happened with financial traders. This will affect highly skilled, highly qualified workers. However, I believe that there will always be tasks that humans are best at, from social work to science. These involve intuition, experience and dexterity. Human and computer partnerships of the type I've outlined complement each other. They complement each other's strengths and weaknesses. This leads to a rise in the humans as well as in the robots. However, for this to happen, the machines need to move from being frustrating tools to active partners that can help us. AI is here today and it will become ever more important as we generate ever more information about everything. AI can enhance our lives and working collaboratively with such systems is the way to cope with the complexity and data richness of modern life. Thank you.


Right, so today we'll briefly go to explaining a bit while walking everyone through the landscape around DMPC in Europe, based on some reports that have been published, and the reports have assessed the results, let's say, in particular the open science application to these results into the examination of activities in Horizon 2020 projects. So it will be good to see moving forward to the Horizon Europe, which is the main topic of today's call, as we will be seeing the template for Horizon Europe and others, moving forward will be good to know what's needed, and how others address it. And yes, as I said, we would like to have a discussion so we'll move to the mentee. If you could please go to mentee.com, click the code, enter the code 85892494. I will switch now to the mentee, hopefully you can see it, and you are already logged in. So first question is, what part of the world are you connected from? I'm currently in Greece, I'm based in Greece, but I'm also currently in Greece. So not somewhere else traveling there are several meetings around the science that are happening this summer. So maybe this community call finds you somewhere else than your base. The Netherlands, Finland, Germany, France, wow, is moving so quick. Austria, Estonia. It's different around Europe, all the regions around Europe, Albania, Switzerland, Finland, Spain, Lithuania, Portugal, Mexico, Brazil, hi everyone. Oh wow, what time is it now actually in Mexico and Brazil. Well, welcome everyone. Really, really good to have you. Israel as well. Good. I'll move on to the next since this seems to be stabilizable. Which domain or is this community do you belong to, or do you represent? Well, I represent the, let's say humanities and engineering and technology. A lot of people answering, choosing the other. And you don't mind to share with others. You can specify what you mean on their other in the chat, or even a meat. So natural science, engineering, medical, and social science are the more the higher and then agricultural and humanities, plus other. And what type of research data management activity, are you mostly involved in I'm pretty sure that everyone, sometimes we all are doing everything, but we mostly do some things. So if you could specify the specifics action in the RDM activities that you might be focusing on, that would be great. Apart from data management planning, which is, I mean, and complemented data management planning, which is the obvious planning. Data analysis data processing data collection preservation access less for data use another again if you feel that you want to share more about your selection on the other. Feel free to do so in the chat. We have the other from the previous question that our IT centers serving multiple disciplines and multidisciplinary libraries, open access and open up science department. Life science, white support for several disciplines, social science and art humanities, and RDM training and support and promoting trustworthy repository. Very really good. Yes, this is for the I guess for the base question that we're doing now. Good thanks everyone. And moving, moving on. What is one thing that you would make that would make writing DMP is easier for you. So if you've done it before. It's something that you definitely change or would like to change in the process. Maybe content, maybe I don't know in the, in the operational aspects of the DMP, maybe in terms of the tool Argos or. I've not done it before the interpretation of the questions template with comments template. In my local language templates, such as specific guidance, direct brain to DMP interface. So maybe templates and content like instructions around the questions and how the question are formulated. I mean I think the requirements for funding. I like this, but does this also impose that we are okay by doing it besides that. There are two ways. Understanding what is required. Simple short intuitive have not done before a care generic template work island so yes basic instructions. And the importance examples. Okay. More intuitive to do this in the process. Thank you. And then. Oops, sorry, that's for later. Then I'm going to switch back to my presentation and quickly go through the landscape with you so that we see where we stand. And then I'll, we'll see some new oops, sorry, sorry, I don't know what this. We'll see how Argos contributes to the landscape. And with also some new features, and we'll all together have, I mean, we'll have a demo, and you will be able to see in practice, how, what is the DMP templates for origin Europe and how to use it. Well, as I mentioned at the beginning, there have been some reports, some, some surveys that assessed particular aspects of open science during the last framework program the horizon 20 program. One was done. It was a tender run for the European Commission to understand and assess the results. And then the other one was actually from opener was the initiative to better understand what's needed around the MPs. So what we did and this, this particular figure is from that report you can find with all links are here and there will be available on the page of the community calls page afterwards so you will be able to have a look yourself as well. And this particular figure is from there and what it shows here is that you can find the MPs in court is in the time in the portal of the European Commission. But the delivery of the DMPs are not that it's not clear to know how you can reuse them. If you want to reuse them. Some of them also are subject to copyright by the authors. So this is a great area that we need to understand how to move forward. There are no licenses currently in the MPs there are no access rights or at least this is not the, let's say a best practice, or it's not something that is followed by the community. In terms of the content. This is from the same report for the DMPs. And we can see here from the interviews. We'll provide it by project coordinators. For as in 2020 project coordinators, we see that they feel the need to have better understanding of the technicalities around the MPs to have to have better guidance and know what the level of details to write into the MP should be. And also whatever the different concepts of the DMP are about and also where to start if you have zero experience like some of you already. It was so in the meant you haven't done that before. So where do we start where do you start your experience. In terms of exploitation of the MPs because some of you that are disciplines and involved in projects that you might want to get all the MPs for example and perform it takes data mining and other types of analysis to understand the better. I don't know just thinking out loud possible scenarios of what we do. Currently, you could of course do that, but you could not identify you could not be able to identify easily, okay, easily, they from a single DMP, the individual information for every data set that is described. And of course the idea of all the data sets described in the DB, but not which data set in this DMP has with the data standard, which protocol and so on. In terms of exposing the DMPs in repositories so depositing them somewhere with this this report states that they've seen that there are different, it's very complex to let's say, get a query. It's a simple query to get the DMPs because some DMPs can be found as publications, some can be found as reports, some can be found as other outputs so then they don't use the correct research type as we say, as the information systems that they are included understand or should index them under. This is for domain data protocols so the domain data protocols is like a template like a DMP, but for a particular community, sorry, discipline for a particular domain or discipline. This means that and this is encouraged by the science Europe, which is an association of European funders, they encourage that, for example, you take the horizon Europe template that is provided, and you make it meet the needs for third principle, for example, of your community of your domain. Yeah, according to the policies and the, and the practices and best practices, followed in this community. And these are called domain data protocols so this is something that is encouraged and would help data management inside the disciplines. And here we see that in the same. Yes. So as we saw before it's difficult to distinctly identify information that is meant to be for it for a particular data set described in a single DMP. Since they're all brought together and they might be very broadly described and not per data set or per data set collection. This makes it difficult not only to find this information but also to see which of those data set of data set collections have been reduced. Data reusability is a little bit more is made a little bit more difficult to identify, at least, and how the data reusability evolves research. I think that you've already seen how had a look of the horizon Europe template you are already familiar with this. It's one of the guidelines. And it's one of the things that you are hard to do to making data interoperable. Here under 2.3 making data interoperable. There's also this qualified references. The term, let's say, which is meant and that here's the explanation, which basically means that's what you need to provide also it's not the description, not not solely the description of your data sets or software, but also the different outputs between other outputs. So if your data set is supporting, for example, another publication or or has been used for the project or support or the software be used to analyze data set, all those different information should be provided. And of course, huge thing in the under open sense practices in the horizon Europe guidelines is this is data sharing as soon as possible. And with the correct licenses. So now for our goals. Well, our motivation is not that simple as you see here. It's simple. It's just to just to create a space where the MPs are seen as outputs, and that's fair outputs. So they are findable accessible in the rubber and usable as all other outputs out there. All those links between other, between other outputs, right, that we saw before, and they are also enhanced with validated information coming from trusted sources. We'll see what that means. And as much as possible are auto generated. So you don't have to do it again. You've, for example, if you've deposited a data set somewhere, and you want to describe it in your game, be you don't have to do it again. You just click and we do we provide some sort of information already in your game before. So Argus is open source for six configurable extensible. And it's meant to help you implement the recent data management policies, stick in the project, and also according to horizon Europe requirements. And then Argus is open to you. We have a large growing user base, more than 2500 at the moment, and our main users are researchers, projects, funders, communities, institutions. It's free to use. And so, as some of you have done other rather already. And it's also available as a news resource, and their eos portal is better you, I think it's supported. And you'll correct me if I'm wrong, you can also link to that. Yeah, you're right. And then Argus is not just a tool it unlocks new potentials in data management. So it brings all the validated information as I said, I do the motivation slide and for all outputs not only for data for software for work for workflows to this meant to be used as you want for all disciplines to create your own templates. For example, if you want to go into that direction and change things in the template that we have in horizon Europe we can do that we can give you the rights and you can definitely do that and create domain data protocols as encouraged by the science. It connects data services and workflows to to give validation of the nation, and easy publication of the MPs for this with a clip. What do we mean by for the course. It's enriched objects research and digital objects. These are the objects that are outputs that are discoverable through opener explore, which is the large discovery portal indexing millions of publications data software and other outputs.  So, and orchids, so they are accessible following the third principles. They are interoperable because we use the standards, a particular standard that applies for the MPs will be the standard. They are available because you, your game at the end will have a license, you will assign your gameplay license so others can know how to use with us or not use it. They are versions, because both before their publication, and after the publication, there's an order, and they're published and preserved in another. I quickly mentioned that your game piece. So here is the research graph, the research graph is an open there's when there is the infrastructure that Argos, but that hosts Argos, right. So when there has created this huge graph of research information and entities that are linked to each other so that we know at this moment in time how research is and we see how it evolves throughout time. So it's also a helpful way to to to know how, but research in Europe. And yes Julia. Yes, we have a question in the chat. No, no, no, it's okay. Sorry if I interrupt you. That can be related also with this graph. Steffi is asking if you can explain what can be done with Argos regarding the workflow and how to integrate data service is asked by Paulette. So quickly for Paulette, we will have another community call for that. So Argos fast to let's say main user groups, the end users, researchers, which are researchers, and then admins and people that are hosting Argos in their own premises or using Argos locally. So today this call is dedicated for researchers so that we show and support the horizon Europe template writing. Another one will be about this portion. The next one is, can you explain what can be done with Argos regarding workflows. Can you please feel for a mute and maybe because I'm not sure I understand this correctly maybe elaborate on what you exactly you want. It's related to technical things like how to integrate data services, then we'll see it in the next community call right. Is there example of one paper of DMP for project proposal because examples from Argos website are old versions. Yes, we will update those that we have in the, the website, and we'll let you know, but we can share with you. Yes, for sure we can add in the notes that we will share with everyone some examples. Because you're right, we're moving very fast. We're moving from old version to new version like pretty much every month. Thanks for this presentation. I'm particularly interested in one of the issues you have highlighted the program of gathering and then displaying the info on the different data sets, often from the different partners. Can you please elaborate on that could Argos be used for this purpose. No Argos is meant to help you plan your activities, right and create the links with other outputs. It is not meant to store any data and or any other outputs, and it's not meant to help with. Yeah, with that. If this is what you're asking, but I will explain later also how you can link the data set in your radio MP, but this is going to be later. Steffi has clarified here in the chat that probably she was referring about the workflow that can be done in Argos. So maybe if I am. Okay, go ahead. As I see, because they feel so by providing more details I think that it would be yes they want to collaborate more. I think the next part then will be important so that you see how I also see colleagues here. And that's really good colleagues. Yes, so that you see how it's used in practice right in the demo. So quickly finish this and we'll move on to the demo. It's been mindful of the times. Right, I was saying that if you want to exploit it in peace you can do it by being part of the open and families say Argos, Argos outputs enter this research graph this this huge research graph. And they are now distinct entities that can be linked to different other outputs like projects and data. So you already have a more enhanced information about them. We want to. So we hear everything that's happening in European open science framework. We hear also you as researchers that would like to find the process of writing data management as less of a burden. And we want to contribute to that and help by automating some of those some processes. In the writing or the publication aspects of inputs. So to do that we have introduced a new functionality. You can search is from inside Argos you can search a data set that you have already maybe you want to use a data set that you have the post in Zenodo currently it's also it's only in Zenodo repository, but we will be expanding this to more repositories. But if you are if you have a, or your if you have deposited your data set in Zenodo or someone else has the post that you want to use it. You can do it from here can search the data set from here, or you might want to do that before. So I think, think at the planning stage of the data management, which this is could be shared more openly, or under particular access rights on Zenodo, and then you will be able also to benefit from this functionality. So it goes. Feel free to use it as you want. So from Argos here you can search the whole database of Zenodo you can find the data set the software or other output that you want. Right. Select it. Click profile and then you will see that immediately your template will be filled with information about the title of the data set description tags. The repository that hosts this data set, the access rights of this data set, the license of this data set, and all those fair elements that say that are also required in the DMP. And a different function is that automates the publication process this time is exposing the metadata to Zenodo, meaning pushing what you have created from Argos to Zenodo and making it a fair output. We take all this information that you will have provided by using Argos. Right. Finalize it, click deposit, and by clicking the deposit, you immediately you will see the demo have this record available. I'll take questions that are related to that before I'm going to the demo. I think the directories from the leader of the development team is is here to also help in the discussion in the chat. I think that when the other talk about data sets they are talking about the chapter you are to artist in peace. If DMPs are published in Zenodo, are they automatically added to a Libre DMP catalog? No, no, no, because the Libre DMP catalog is a community run and curated by Libre. They have to request, let's say DMPs, it's a collection that they have developed and they create and preserve. But it's a good thing, maybe we can ask if we can do that, so you can add them there. Thank you. Indeed, very, very good idea. Indeed, data set is a very unlucky choice of work in this case. Yes. The audio is a little disturbed. I'm so sorry about this. Maybe it's because your micro, it's in the cable, I think, and if you can stabilize the cable, so maybe it could be better. Sorry, I'll do it next time. Now I'm worried that I will just win everything. I think that it's full refers to data set descriptions. Yes, in full, this is what we see what we mean by data set description data set. Exactly, the data set is for simplicity. One DMP consists of several data set descriptions. There's more sense to link to the DOI instead of a title when you fulfill the DMP from the nodon. You can also do that and also you know how. Let me see. Oh, let me see, so many things. Let me answer those two and come back. The empty DMP, we don't have, we're not responsible for what you're doing with Argos. So if you've chosen to have it empty, a deposited empty, that's something on your end. And the decision that you took at that time. As is with any other output that you produce and share with the community. So to develop an effective based on the questions you're saying, yes, we do, we collect everything and yes, we'll add that in the FAQ section of Argos. Is there a motor program solely dedicated to generate one page simply in case for project proposals. To generate one page simply in case for project proposal for project proposals so before. Yes, okay. I see. So if you want this to happen, just let us know. And, of course, we'll do that we can create a short version of the horizon, your template. Saying that I'm going to switch again. And let's have a look at what is happening. So I'll switch. So if you click Argos is open to you, this is what you see. You, this is our landing page saying, let's move this here. So I'm being distracted by the different things popping up. You see, you see that our landing page. Here is when you will be directed to the tool and start using the tool here you can send this information about connections with opener and heels to different features of this call further and other other things that are useful to know. Let me see hide video panel. Perfect. Now I don't step on. Okay, good. So here you have the about page you can see how it works how a get an insight of how the different workflows inside the Argos from start to finish. And you can also have a look of how Argos is inside the open system and the different possibilities that it unlocks by doing that. And you can also see if you use contributors. We're very thankful for our opener. No ads, the experts in different countries will go to providers with different localization of the tool in the language. Find some resources like some user guides. And another way to go to the tool is to log in to click login. So I'll do that. And I love them. Let's say that I'm not different possibilities for you see or keep you that opener is not here, but we have also open air. And other things. I'll quickly log in with my general because it's easy for me at the moment to skip the password. And I'm in I can go if I want to link other email accounts to my profile so that I don't have to log out every time it's loose and be that I have created. So I can go to my profile settings and link those accounts. And the last account that I have linked is the one that has all the information all the DMPs and data description from from all the rest, but efforts. So you can always find this information in your profile. Go to my homepage. You can find the two main buttons that need to be in our data set here. I can see my main activity around data descriptions and DMPs. So we just call according to that yellow is for data sets, green is for DMPs. You can see my personal usage of Argos. I can go on the left and check public DMPs that other people have made available in Argos publicly, but I can see those. And there are associated data sets if I want to browse and scroll through only data set descriptions. And they can go to my own dashboard and do the same check the DMPs and continue working on them. Right. And my data sets as well. Same thing. I will start my new DMP from this button here starting DMP. But if I want to add a new data set or a data set collection at any time of the project, maybe on month 10, I have a new data set or data collection and quickly do that in the pre-existent DMP. So I can go on Argos by using this wizard data sets. So quickly, I'm adding this data set to this DMP. And to start my DMP from scratch, I start my DMP. I can import a file that is compatible to the standard, the DMP standard that we're using, which is a more advanced, let's say, workflow of how to create your DMPs So I'll skip that for now and move on to the very basic workflow which is starting with your wizard. So starting the wizard where you're actually to this page where you can add all the basic information about this DMP, you can add the titles of the DMP. And because I've hidden the panel, please, Julie, let me know if there are any questions at any time. Yes, there are several questions, but maybe the one that is more related to the template by now is, it's not very clear to me when one should choose to add a data set or to describe several data products in the same data sets. Okay, so this is, this is not discussions. This is, well, if we're talking about the horizon Europe, the requirement is that not everything, when we're talking about this data, not everything is required to be described in the DMP, but only those research data that validated findings from publications that you have in journals and repositories. So this is the mandate, right, and then how you do that inside the DMP, how you describe those outputs, let's say, in the DMP. It's actually open for you to take this executive decision, let's say, if you want to describe and show you what, I cannot see the question, the exact spelling, the exact wording of the question. So was it how to describe basically the data set, right? If it's going to be a data set or a collection. If, yeah, if there are. My understanding, maybe Andrea, can turn on the microphone. It's that sometimes when you are filling the DMP, maybe not clear if you are just adding several data sets or you are describing other kind of data product. Ah, it's not, sometimes it's not clear in the DMP, but that's the question. I think so, maybe Andrea can. Yeah, hello. My question is, I tried to explain it better. If I have, if I would produce more data sets in my project, right, so different kind of data. So let's imagine, I don't know, counting of animal species, and then a data set of sounds of animals, for instance, okay, those are two different data sets with different files formats. Yeah, the question is, should I do two different data sets into the DMP to describe the two different file formats, or I should describe the whole process in just one data set in the DMP. Yes. It's, it's your call. I'm afraid there are no guidelines for this, but I think that just just go with the option that would be more clear for others to understand later and not mix information about the different data sets used. You know what I mean. So just try to have clean descriptions of data set or collection of data sets inside the DMP as much as possible. Does that answer your question? Yeah, I mean, I thought there were like kind of best practices to follow. Because sometimes, I mean, for me, usually in our projects, we manage several different data sets, but they are pretty, I mean, almost the same kind of, let's say, templates. So probably in that case, yeah, the data set in the DMP will be just one data set to describe all the data sets that will be produced in the project. So again, there is, yeah, for me, the data set now is overlapping meanings, but I hope that my explanation was clear. Yes, yes. Thank you very much. Thank you. And here Gorgias is commenting also that alternative formats should be not be treated as different data sets, unless they have other difference due to the format too. But for instance, if you have them in CSV and JSON format, and under the same terms, there could be one data set description in the DMP. I don't know if it's better. We had also the questions here. But if you want to. I think I think I'll finish the demo because maybe some questions are related quickly because they also said that time. So here I'm creating my DMP right that given the DMP title provided description for this DMP when doing it and so on. I add the researchers that are working on this DMP. So I can do that by adding for example. You're here George. I can search my colleague George to add him with this orchid ID and I can do the same by searching, let's say, with the orchid ID and not on that. I can also search by orchid ID. I can add me and as many people as I want that help with writing this DMP is set others manually if I cannot find them with their orchid. Add the organization that these people work for Athena for me, maybe say National Technical University of Athens and same thing if I cannot find it answered it manually. I can select the language of this DMP is written. Here is English for me. Maybe it was different language and under contact. If I share my DMP with other authors to help me in describing the data sets that I will include this DMP then I will be able to hear that this will be a list of people associated with this DMP and I could find a person who will be the contact person for this DMP. Of course I cannot change it without agreeing with people. Here next I can select why I'm doing this who is the founder that I'm writing this DMP for it's European Commission because we're about to rise in Europe. I can find the, let's say, project, and here you see the selected European Commission and then sorted under the grants field we see all the results are available from projects funded by the Commission I can select it. It's not there yet because maybe it's a proposal and I'm writing this DMP for a proposal so a grant doesn't exist yet. I can insert things manually, similarly to, you know, I can do that anytime if I cannot find something. And I can, I will leave this blank but if you have a specific activity inside the DMP that you would like to address in this DMP, because maybe you have a DMP for the whole project and then you want to create a DMP for a particular activity like an open call which is different because it's combines grants and I don't know other stuff are happening for this activity and you can specify it here you can write it here. You can provide a license to your DMP. And I can select the access right for when it goes to the nodon, will I want it to be under restricted or open access. I want to set an embargo because this is in line with my publication, then I could do that as well. Fourth step is where I'm able to select the template that I'm going to use to describe the data sets for this DMP. Maybe I want to use the Horizon Europe one, right. And maybe I want to use, I could also use others that are particular to fit the needs of a particular discipline like archaeological templates, and so on. So I could select as many as I want. And I can, each time I'm describing a collection of data sets or a dataset, I'm able to move around. So I'm going to save it and when I save I'm redirected to another editor which is about the data sets. So I'm going to some left the DMP editor where I described what my DMP is about and who will go into writing. And I'm moving to the data set itself. I have this pop up immediately, which asks me if I want to use the pre-fill or to manually add the information of the data sets that I'm describing. And if this data store the data set collection again, is I can find if I can find it on the nodon. I can hit pre-fill, but for the purposes of this demo I'll do both. So manually gets me to a blank template where I'm able to provide the title data sets, descriptions, I will skip this, add tags and select the template that I want to work for this data set. And once I select the template, it opens and I can go and quickly go through the check the instructions, check the links provided, start completing the template based on what I'm in this data management. I can see that I'm going to save this. I can go and see now my DMP in my dashboard. It has one data set at the moment. Now you can see all of this information I can add it quickly add another data sets. This time I know what data set I'm reusing this data set or I just uploaded and I want to use it in this DMP. So I will select the template that I want, I want to correct your data generic one. Search for this oops, sorry, select this search is another database as I showed you in the presentation. I can use this one, find it, I select it, then I have it. I can enhance what I already see here, and I can check the print answers that were prefilled. I can see that here the PID system that asks that the template asks is fulfilled, and I can provide more information like formulate a nice, you know, answer around this. I can see that the NORO has been used for this data set. I can see that this is an open data set, and I can specify things around this and again create nice narratives around this. I can see the license and other information so in the same way. And I can continue now with adding more information in what I already received for this particular data set or data set description. To show you this template, you start with a close all of them. So this template allows you to provide also links to other outputs from resources that we have been open from the resource graph, as I mentioned. So here you have a summary, you have the section where you can link the output that you're describing to other outputs. You have a huge section about the third practices, so how this data set or software is findable accessible or reusable, and how the cost has, you know, what are the aspects behind the different data management activities in terms of security, what you've done to, what are the mechanics applied or the aspects applied so that you comply with that. Ethical aspects, if there are ethical aspects, you can specify it here, and other issues that you might want to add. So you see that there is a question. And there is, there are instructions, but they're either from the, we get this information other from the opener guides for this data management that we have an opener that the you, or from this particular specific ones are from the other guidelines. So you don't have to go back and find what this, what are the instructions we have them there for you. And first question is what kind of research output I'm describing. Since the template asks me to describe data sets software but other outputs as well. And let's say that I want to have this data sets. If it's physical I can specify it if it's digital data set, I can specify this as well. I have to say if I'm reusing it or generate it from scratch. Is it a new or reuse data set. Right, let's say that I'm reusing this. I can add more things on my questions to, to, to make it be evaluators later understand better why I've chosen for example we use. What is the type of the describe data sets is it sample observation experimental. Different selections from open ended things that you can type whatever you want to list that you can select. Also to. API eyes. I'm going to show now that get the information infer the information from trusted sources. So, and we'll see one type of input here. Again, we have the basic information and what is expected here. And let's say, let's answer this question doesn't describe output support in scientific publication. Let's say that yes. So I can also link to this publication from the opener explored the means publications that are harvested and searchable there. I'm going to randomly do this. The journal that this publication is found. Right, I can also specify the repository. Because access to publications means you pose you publish in a report in a journal, the scientific journal, but you also have to always the positive version of this publication to a repository to do that from here. I add all this information like application title, scientific journal and repository where this publication can be found. You can add more if you want. And if there's any data available statement, you can also link to that. If there's in software, you can also do that. This is how we create the links then with other outputs. Moving on to am I. It's already three and seven minutes. Okay. I'll move on to the because the most important I want to show was that the prefield and the linking to other outputs, and it works the same with other types of questions you can also upload your vocabulary if you have used the vocabulary and so on. So I can save this. And I'm going to go now to another that created for you. And this is what I created right. It's ready. It's ready. It has everything I want and I'm ready to finalize it I can finalize it from here. And I can submit and submit. And now I can deposit it also once it's finalized. I'm able to also deposit it. It goes to a stable stage where everything is not as you see is not permitted. I can deposit. Click yes. And there I have it. I can preview I can copy I can attend the time, go into my dashboard and copy this link from here and use it whenever wherever I want, or visit the website. There's another website where my DMB has been uploaded as PDF and as a station. And that was it from me and this is what it looks like. Do you still see my screen the expert. This is the. Yes, we can see. And yeah, this side. And there's a lot of activity in this chat. Okay. Okay, let's see what we can. Most of the questions were answered already by girls. Thank you so much George. Maybe with the, we can ask people that have not received an answer just to open the microphone. Yes. I know I skipped a project related questions from the yes yes when I was presented. I can share the screen with Google. Because I tried to copy and past some of the questions. Okay. So the awesome. Thank you so much. So, so these are new or these are all but you have. Are the one that they were not answered. Okay, okay, thanks. This was asked by George. The first one, the other one from and you plan to develop this was answered. Yes. Maybe if you scroll, where can I find the API documentation. You can find the code. Yes, let me share with you. Just a minute. So here is the code. Let me go back to what you know, you go back to that. Okay, thanks. I'll try to explain myself better. Let's suppose we want to create a DMP that describes five different data sets that are hungry by five and think projects partners. How do you already answered to that. Okay, okay. I'll make you lose, you know, more time. Thank you. That was very. Thank you all for being here after me rambling for for a couple of minutes already. You can put more than a file by each team P. I think I did most of the questions. I said yes. Anyone, but yes, because this is this won't go anywhere. If you if your question was not answered, please unmute or point to that question. However, for more comfortable. Or maybe you're just do you want to answer by microphone because maybe it will help. I think they answered. Well, if I can. Yes, please, please go ahead. Yeah, Andrea here. I have another question. Once you upload the final version on Zenodo, how you can then update it is from Zenodo or from Argos. You can, you can, if you want to continue to work on the same DMP you have to create a new version inside Argos, which will be then pushed as a new version to the already published. Do I'd be in Zenodo. Okay, thanks. This is the thing, the workflow. If it's published you have to create a new version if you want to continue editing visits not able to won't be able to undo anything and go back to the editing mode, unless you click new version. Anyone else. In any case, we'll collect all those questions and try to categorize them and add them in our FAQ and also will add them all with their answers to our community calls dedicated page. And maybe we can provide the link now. Hopefully if you have it handy that can work. So this is where you will find everything after this. Let's go. And please feel free to continue this discussion by email if you have more questions. If you feel that you need more support. And of course we will be meeting from now on every month with the exception of the summer. So next time that we will meet is to lion September. So, with exception of August. And that doesn't mean that we cannot communicate by other means, and if you have ideas of better ways to communicate all together besides the cause letters known we're happy to implement them. I think I'll leave it here. Thank you very much, everyone. And talk to you soon. And don't hesitate to contact us. And thank you so much. This was my first August community goals. I was really excited. Yes, thanks all to be here and if you have other questions again that is there is the link and the email address you can also contact via Twitter or whatever you want. And we hope that we will hear a little bit more from you and know you better because this is a community and we want to improve the service from also your needs and what you are thinking and what are the difficulties that you may have. Or we may have. Thanks also to you Julia thanks to you, the best of Minio and George for being here and supporting this. Thank you.


Ah, good morning. Let's pray. Father, thank you, Lord, that you are on the throne. We can put our hope and our trust in you. Even if things may not be turning out right or perhaps we're challenged. Father, you're with us.   Father, pray for you to let your word speak to us, open our hearts to be humbled and available to what your Holy Spirit wants to show us. And just thank you for being on your throne that we can put our trust in you. In Jesus' name, amen. So how many have you had at times in life where everything finally was smooth?  You know what I'm talking about? How many of you, you know what I'm talking about?  And then what happens? Suddenly a big cow gets to the middle of the road and you have to go left or right or have lots of hamburger meat. And that line works much better in Texas, but anyway. So that's what happened to me. I was the Western coordinator for an organization in back east called Rutherford and I was coordinate litigation here on the West Coast and they said, Brad, we're scaling back. We're shutting down all our regional offices. But don't worry, we have a promotion for you. Why don't you head up our public affairs office in Washington, D.C. And you'll have a higher salary, larger staff, larger office and you'll be the face of the organization with all radio and television for the organization. I thought, well, I don't have to pray about this because obviously God's closing one door opening another door, you have to pray about those things, right? Yeah, I see you get your answer. And then I had insomnia the next night, insomnia, next night, insomnia. And then I realized, oh, shoot, I got to pray. Yeah, why did I not want to pray? I'll tell you why. Because in my life when I have this fork on the road and there's the easy way and then there's this other way requiring faith, guess where I'm convicted usually when I pray? The hard way, so I had no choice, so I prayed. And when I did the Lord put this on my mind which was a question, Brad, what desires have I put on your heart? And the answer was to make sure people got the help where it was needed most here in California. Next question, what am I gonna follow? The desires God's put on my heart or something else like my obsession with security. And my dad was an entrepreneur and that's all I'm saying, okay, some of you people, ladies in particular are going, yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, so with boldness and courage, I said, yes, Lord, I will go where you're calling me to go. I will follow you where you want me to go. I will do what you want me to do on several conditions. It's just what happened. And I was scared, right? Because this was totally outside my ball game to start something. And so I just put it all on the table. By the way, does God want us to put it on the table? Does he ever want us to hold anything back? No, let me ask you this. Where do you go in the Bible when you want to be encouraged? When you're discouraged, you want to be lifted up? Where do you go? Book of Numbers, no, no, Psalms. That's more to sleep, no, I'm teasing. But Psalms, right?  Ooh, ooh, not this one. Oh, ooh, ooh, not this one, not this one. Oh, oh, this one, this one right here. We're all guilty of being Psalm flippers, okay? We're all Psalm flippers. Why are we all Psalm flippers? Because David was a man of God's own heart. David put it all on the table through the Holy Spirit. It all was out there when he was excited, when he felt victorious, when he felt abandoned, discouraged, he just put it all on the table. And that's what God wants us to do. No matter what we're going through, we have a God that is intimate enough with us and loves us enough and knows us more than we know our own children, right? This is our Heavenly Father. He wants us to be open and honest with us. And when we are, God uses that and blesses us. Like he even changed our perspective at times. So anyway, I put it all on the table. I says, God, I just have a few minor requirements. I wanna make sure, absolutely, this is from you. So I need free office space and definitely donated in Sacramento. Free computer system, donated. You gotta keep me on the radio stations for free. There were two at the time to interview me weekly. We have to be in the Black God in just three months and I'm not gonna charge anyone at any time for any work I ever do. I thought it was very reasonable with my business plan. So God came through on all of it and by His grace and mercy, He raised it up.  I used to think this was gonna be my ministry, serving the Lord Jesus Christ. You know what God taught me from day one? This is God's ministry. And by His grace and mercy, presently as Brad Dick has participating at this time. And it's so true, so true. If I knew how many times He was gonna need to part the waters, I don't think I could have gone forward. I'm just glad He didn't tell me how many, all the things He was gonna have to have happen. But it was exciting and one by one, it was just neat to see how my faith was stretched, how He continued to do His work. Today, fast forward, I was like 25 years ago, we now have offices all across the country in 16 states, 20 offices in 16 states. And you know, from Miami to Boston, South of Seattle, the Orange County, I mean, in many places in between. In fact, our first office, I didn't wanna open another office. I just thought, well, let's keep in California. I have no desire to grow. Why? I mean, we have plenty of stuff here. And then we start having more cases and more and more cases out of state, particularly in Oregon. We had seven cases in litigation. My chief counsel attorney, Kevin Snyder, who's brilliant, by the way, he told me, he said, I said, look, it's cheaper if we just hire an attorney for Oregon. Is this costing us so much to fly and hotel and everything in time? And I said, okay, well, we only have one person really qualified. And that's Ray Hackey. He's in the San Francisco Bay Area office. Needless to say, his nickname, I gave him his Bulldog. Because the whole world could be screaming in his face and he'd still do his oral argument just fine in court.  But I said, but he's not gonna wanna move because his family's in the Bay Area. And his wife teaches at a private Christian school and they're so established, they're not gonna wanna go to Oregon. I said, well, there's not a Friday. I said, well, let's pray about it. Over the weekend and I'll call him on Monday morning. See what he says. Monday morning comes and before I call him, he calls me. And he says, Brad, I don't have to say this. I'm just gonna say it. I can't stay here. My wife and I, we wanna have a house and with your salary, I understand how PGI pays. I totally get that, but we can't even buy a shack here on your salary. So we wanna work for PGI, just let me, no, no, no. Anyway, so he says, so we've decided we're gonna move and we're going to move out of state to Oregon. And I said, did Kevin already talk to you? No, did anyone talk to you at all about Oregon from the office? Anyone? He goes, no, why? We decided on Friday that we were gonna have you move to Oregon and open an office for us. He goes, you're kidding. I said, no, serious. Just how God works. Over and over again in Washington state, we were looking for an attorney up there, partly to defend a pastor minister being prosecuted, criminally prosecuted for preaching the gospel. And so here he is pending prosecution.  I mean, he's just going right for the jugular. He's just preaching the gospel. And this man, this attorney's going up the steps here in the sky preaching, you know? And then stops, turns, listens, and the Holy Spirit convicted his heart. And he walked up and he surrendered his life to Jesus. And that man became open the office to defend the pastor who just led him to Jesus. Anyway, praise God over that. It's how God works. You know, about 30% of our cases are criminal defense cases and everyone we defend has something in common. They're all in ministry. They're all being prosecuted for preaching the gospel, sharing the gospel in public places protected by the First Amendment of the Constitution. And it's all over the country. We have these cases now. And the good news is God gives us lots of grace and we usually win. So, which is really nice. But there's a lot of challenges that we're facing. And God comes through and takes care of our radio program. He's heard on 720 stations, more than no, more than 720 stations across the country, more than seven and 30 stations across the country. And it's a really awesome, awesome radio program. I mean, it's my favorite. Okay, it's my show, but it's a good show. I'm a little biased, all right, anyway. But God raises it up and it's really exciting to recognize it's not that it's when it's his baby and just what he's gonna do. And that's the way it is for all of our lives. When we surrender to the Lord and we release it to the Lord, God will surprise us. And we're surrendered to him in his own way and how he works through our lives in different ways. So, did the apostle Paul have challenges stretching his faith? Oh, yes. And he was such a model for rising up to challenges.   And in chapter three, he addresses, I believe, us. And so, turn, if you will, to 2 Timothy, chapter three. Or you know what, don't bother. I'm a lawyer, just trust me. Yeah, I knew that would get you. I once did that to a church. It was an older church, you know, and they didn't laugh at all. They just were flipping real fast. You guys got the joke, that was good. So, 2 Timothy, chapter three. And how do we know it's to us? Well, verse one, it says, but know this, that in the last days, perilous times will come. Notice how I say uncomfortable times might come. No, perilous times will come. It's a promise. And if you're not sure what he means, let's take a look at verse two. For men will be lovers of themselves. Lovers of themselves, by the way. What do they use this for, as far as pictures? They take UIs, theys. No, it's selfies. I'm just saying, I'm just saying, okay. Lovers of money. That is so common. Now, it's okay to save. I love IRAs. I was a finance undergrad. IRA is great. You know, it's 401K. Good, save for the future. But oftentimes it consumes our life, doesn't it? Money, wealth, things like that. And I want you, I felt so convicted by this. I went and sold one of my three yachts. No, I'm just teasing. That was good, you guys got that. Okay, I don't have a yacht. But if any of you do have a yacht, I'd love to go on it with you sometime. I'm just telling you, they're fun, okay. Lovers of money, boasters, proud. What's pride? We're proud, basically what we're saying is, I'm gonna put myself over God, basically, right? I know what's best. Blasphemers openly defying God, attacking that which God says is good. Disobedient to parents. Some of you have teenagers. I'm sorry, no, no, no. No, actually it's the exciting time in life because teenagers are sort of becoming their own in person and they're transferring from childhood to adulthood. They're not adulthood yet. They're no longer children in that transition, right? They're sort of finding their own will and all and it can be an experience. But what we're talking about here is actually children turning away from the teachings that they have learned from their parents into something else. You know what the fastest growing religion in America today is? Nuns. Now I'm not talking about Sally Fields, the flying nun, you know, the convent. I just aged myself, didn't I? Just Dave, okay. What we're talking about here is people who say they're nothing. Say you're an atheist? No. Be this, no, that, no. I'm just nothing. That's the fastest growing religion. It's moving very quickly, particularly in the younger generations. Very, very quickly. People who say basically they don't need God, they don't need faith, they don't need anything. They just think they've got it all together. I will tell you, that's not a good place to be because it's very easy to discover the reality of life that we don't have it all together and we all need the Lord. But that's reality, that's where we're at. Our children, unthankful is the next one. Unthankful, what's the synonym for unthankful? Entitlement, right? If you're entitled to it, do you have to be thankful? And once I was buying something and the person, the salesman says, well, after all, you deserve this.  And I shouldn't have been quite so, you know, blunt. Not most effective. After all, that was probably a little much for him, you know, it's like, the reality, we don't deserve anything. It's all God's grace, right? The wages of sin is death. What we deserve is death because of our sin. We don't deserve anything. But our society wants us, oh, you're entitled to it. I just hope they don't change Thanksgiving to entitlement day, you know? It's like, just anyway, just I think it'll ruin the whole thing. I don't think it'll happen. But unthankful, unholy, unholy is being separate from God, who is holy and righteous. Unloving, unloving, unforgiving, unforgiving, you know? I remember this on the news broadcast and there was a politician who was attacked and he asked for forgiveness and the people in the audience, they all forgave him and they all came to, oh, wait a minute, no, I woke up. That was a dream, that's right. It can be pretty nasty, right? We have a society that doesn't uphold grace and forgiveness. Instead it's like, we gotcha. And giving no room for that. Slanders, slanders, that is so bad. In fact, let me tell you about this guy. He was the worst slanderer. His name is, okay, nevermind. All right, put on bumps, you got that one, okay. So slanderers, without self-control, we are so brainwashed to think opposite of this. When I was a child, self-control was good. I really want to eat that ice cream now. No, wait till after you're done with your dinner, then you have your dessert. Now as an adult, I eat it now, okay? But no, but self-control is a good thing. Now if you advocate self-control, involving things that involve temptation, what are you called?  You're called all kinds of things if you advocate self-control. The great deceiver, Satan has indoctrinated our whole society to think this way. In fact, you're gonna know it. You're already programmed. Every one of you has been brainwashed. I'm gonna start it and then you're gonna be able to finish it. If it feels good, do it. We're all programmed. Every single person here knew what the answer, the final words were, do it. No, that's giving in to temptation is sin, right? But our society's saying, but if you have a desire for it, that's who you are, just do it. No, that's the deceiver because we all have a desire to sin. You don't have to teach a child, now let me tell you how to sin. You don't have to tell a two and a half year old to say mine, say mine, mine. No, they do it anyway. I've never met a two and a half year old that says you. So it's a part of our nature. And yet our society wants to say if it feels good, do it without self-control. Brutal, despisers of good. Not recognizers of good, despisers of good. You know, it's interesting when I was a kid growing up, there were two kinds of people pretty much in society. And there were those that went to church and those be knowing that they should be going to church. And they say, you know, pastor, I'm sorry to get to church Sunday morning. I just had one brisky too many last night, you know, but I'll be coming on Christmas when it comes. That was sort of my kind of cultural background growing up. And now you've got those who are followers of Jesus and you have those who hate followers of Jesus. And our nation as a society, as a culture has a big rift division and it's very deep and it didn't exist like anything like this when I was younger. And yet it's very, very real today. And it's something we're experiencing from the local level all the way up to the United States Supreme Court in Washington. It's very real. It's a spiritual warfare of great intensity. We need to realize the day and the hour of the times that we're in. And that's one reason I'm so glad that the apostle Paul gave this to us to understand where we are. It says, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God. This came to the surface in the Supreme Court decision dealing with same-sex marriage. It was interesting to see it was five to four. Didn't know which way it was gonna go, but if they went, you know, the way that's a biblical way, I thought it's gonna be based on the Equal Protection Clause. Based on gender-based discrimination, you're engaging in discrimination on gender. If you can't choose which gender you wanna marry. That was the logic. That didn't surprise me. What surprised me is I continued to read the opinion from the majority, the five-judge majority. And they went on to create a whole new fundamental right.  And I'm reading this. And I'm going, this is nowhere in the Constitution. And then I started thinking, what does this mean? What could it mean? And then I was getting blown away thinking, how could they do this? Because the judges, they read each other's opinions back and forth before they release them. So the dissent clearly objected. They said, no, this is what we want. I mean, the majority was very hardcore. And unfortunately, by God's grace, we have three new justices since then, which has shifted the court to a court that's the most pro-religious freedom, pro-paranormal rights, pro-life Supreme Court in my lifetime. Praise God. But what the court was effectively doing was taking their fist, shaking it at God, and said, we'd rather it be lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of you. And it was so clear and it was so blatant. Never before manifest in any court case in my, in history, in that case, what the court did. Choosing to be lovers of pleasure rather than, pleasure rather than lovers of God. Verse five, having a form of godliness, but denying its power. I remember reading this when I was young, I thought, what does that mean? How can you have a form of godliness doing good, you know, right things? And yet denying its power, the power of God, what are they talking about? Now we see it real clearly. I was on an airplane once. And by the way, you know those people who just talk and talk, right? You know, on an airplane, really annoying, right? Okay, that's me, right here, all right? It's me. So I'm sitting next to this guy and I said, you know, faith just always often comes up in my conversations on airplanes, especially when there's a storm and the wings are going like this. And you don't have to say admit it, but it's true.  I know, I'm just saying. So I started talking to this guy about his faith. I said, so tell him if you don't mind me asking, do you have any kind of religious background or religious beliefs? And he says, well, I'm not religious, but I am very spiritual. We've heard it so much that Satan is just so massive with his one liner.  I'm gonna cross examining. So I said, really? So what do you mean by spiritual? And then he says, I just really feel at one and peace with the universe. I mean, once again, you've heard this over and over. And then I looked at him and he says, okay, well, well, what else? He goes, that's it. It's like a cloud. It's a vapor. There's nothing to this. Nothing, evidentiary, substantive. And yet as Christians, we sometimes take it for granted what God's given us. We have the holy word of God. More than two thirds of the prophecy of this book has already come to pass. It's reliable. You can count on it. As far as Jesus risen from the dead, 12, I wouldn't expect more than just 12. There was hundreds, right? And from an evidentiary perspective that we know of 12, including the Apostle Paul who gave his life and died for one thing, that Jesus was risen from the dead. Not one, not two. We had a dozen in Roman records validating this. Eyewitnesses, do you know how valuable it is if you have a case as a lawyer and you have 12 witnesses who are all willing to die for their testimony that X, Y, and Z happened? It'd be like a dream case. I haven't had a case like that. I haven't had, we've won lots of cases. I haven't had one. That'd be just such an easy dream. In fact, they'd settle before it went to court easily. So we have the evidence and then we have our personal testimonies. I mean, how many of you have seen either yourself or in someone else a transformation of God when they came to Christ? Raise your hand. I mean, this is our testimonies. It's how God works. And God's, and what's also awesome is he's still working on us. I mean, this earlier this morning, I was a little stressed, right? I was trying to get, where's the handouts? God's still working on us. Isn't that great? I mean, we can put our trust in him at all times and then really make a difference. By the way, does everyone, as I mentioned, does everyone have one of these? Do you guys want any signup sheets? Raise your hand if you don't have one. Okay, a number of you don't. So in the gazebo in the back, if you want to keep up with our cases, feel free to fill this out and we'd love to keep you updated. There's a little box you can check if you want to be a monthly part of our team and support us. But the point is, is that in the end of the day, we can have our trust in the Lord because he's given us that evidence and we don't have to believe in clouds in the sky that are not supported, unsubstituted. And that's a real nice assurance. So, and then it goes on in verse five to say, and from such people, turn away. Now, wait a minute, we're Christians. We want people to come to Jesus, right? Why don't we, you turn away? You don't want to turn away. You want to, well, what we're talking about here are people who invade the church to deceive the church, right? That's what we're talking about. And that's revealed from verse six through nine. There's an example in that scripture given for a second time. I'm going to just skim down to verse 10. But that's sort of the valid answer to that question. Verse 10 is where we now get the blueprint for the end times to have victory. We just heard how everything's going to go, you know, all those problems and stuff. Verse 10, the apostle Paul says, now I'm going to give you the blueprint on how the game plan, you can be victorious for the Lord amidst these perilous times. It says, but you have carefully followed my doctrine. Doctrine is important, right? It's truth, right? Manor of life, ooh, that's a good one. Purpose, we all love purpose, right? Solid purpose, who we are in Christ, living for Christ. Faith, oh yeah, faith, awesome, strength. Long suffering, okay, this is where I have a problem. Cause you know what long suffering means? Long suffering. I mean, okay. Then it says, love followed by perseverance, persecutions, afflictions. Okay, well, how do you even stick love right after long suffering, persecution, afflictions, perseverance? How can we love in that situation? I'll tell you, we can't. Humanly speaking, we can't. But when we're in Christ and we have the Holy Spirit and we have the love of Christ, we can love those who hate us. We can love those who persecute us, those who cause us long suffering. And that love, the more we're persecuted, the stronger our testimony and the more evident the love of Christ is. And the world doesn't understand it. The love of Jesus is not in their toolbox. And they've been perplexed. Even people I've meant to have just been totally perplexed because of how I respond sometimes. And they're like, where does that come from? And it comes from the Lord. It's powerful and God allows us to love. I remember someone once wronged me big time and I was gonna dice and slice him in. I even had Bible verses I was gonna use.  And I thought, yeah, I'll pray about it too. For God to really give me the sword to just, you know. So I start praying for him. Boy, was that a mistake. No. Then the Holy Spirit starts to convict me of how much God loves him. And I start seeing him as God sees him as someone who's hurting and in pain and suffering. Because then I come in, I talk to him.  You know, how you doing? What's going on? And he starts, his eyes water. He says, Brad, why do you care about me? I wronged you worse than anyone. And you're concerned about me? And I said, well, actually, you're really not seeing Brad. You see, I prayed for you before I came in. So really what you're seeing is the love of Christ that God convicted and how much he loves you and how much he cares for you. And that's what God wants us to do. I challenge you. When people are probably giving you a problem and they come to your mind and they're just causing you torture, pray for them. It's powerful and Satan hates it. Just hates it. And we all have people like that. That's come into our life, right? They just sort of get you. You start praying and you'll start seeing them and loving them the way God does. And it's powerful. Perseverance, persecution of afflictions, which happened to me at Antioch, at Iconum, at Lystra. What persecutions I endured and out of them all, the Lord delivered me. Now, we're gonna go through persecutions, but you know what, God's gonna keep bringing you through it bit by bit until it's time for us to go, right? He's gonna deliver us. Now, who am I talking about? Well, just probably only about 1% of us really do this. No, no, no, no. Verse 12 answers that question. It says, yes, and all who desire to live godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution. Yay. Let's join the Jesus team. Yay, give me a P, give me an E, give me an R. No, but it's reality.  And it's often because they see Jesus and it's like a light shining on their darkness and the light exposes the darkness. And oftentimes if they're not ready to repent, they feel convicted and they just feel annoyed. You know what I'm talking about? There's some people who just, and it's not because you're mean and rude and stole their apple pie during lunchtime, okay? We're talking about, she's a different analogy, but we're talking about they just don't like you for no reason at all. And it's often because they see Jesus and it shouldn't take us by surprise. Verse 13, but evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. Once again, we're talking about people trying to invade the church. But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of knowing from whom you learned them. Who did they learn this from? Eyewitnesses to Jesus' resurrection and the instructions of Jesus. Pretty credible, huh? And we're getting this in scripture. This is actually written to us. And this is verse 15. And that from childhood, you have known the holy scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus. In other words, these scriptures are powerful and they direct us to Christ. The word of God all throughout it, Genesis to revelations, it points to Jesus. And it's powerful. So when we study the word, we're in the word, we're directed to Jesus. We're directed to Jesus. Now how important is actually is the scripture? Verse 16 answers that. It says all scripture.  All scripture is given by inspiration of God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction and righteousness. For what reason? Verse 17. That the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. So would you say this is pretty important? Yeah. Now Satan will distract us to not read the word. He doesn't want us to be in the word because of what I just said. He doesn't like that, the outcome. The word gives an outcome Satan doesn't like. The transformation Satan doesn't like. But you know what else also? Sometimes we as believers can be religious about reading the word. Okay, for example, in my life, I became real religious about it. So I'm like, oh shoot, I gotta quickly hurry because I gotta get to work. But I haven't read my Bible. But I do my chapter every day. So here we go. I've been noticed in the last days Parallelism has been overcome. Remember we love, love, love, love, love, love. And you say, what did you read? I says, I don't know. I was too busy reading it. Right? I think most of us have done this before, right? It's the ritual. It's the phariseutical thing.  I want you to have relationship. I want you to listen to me. And so you know what I say? If you don't have time to read the whole chapter because of for whatever reason, okay, you're safe. Okay, don't beat yourself. It's not the issue. It's spending time with God. So you don't read two verses, maybe three verses, whatever, maybe one verse. And with the heart of God speak to me. Meditate on that. Talk to God. You know, my pastor, my church, I'll be honest with you. I was, you're saying, well, was everything you said not honest? Okay. You're like, that's a lawyer saying so. But I remember I was talking to my pastor once and I said, so pastor, do you listen to, what Christian radio station or do you listen to? He goes, you know, I really don't have, I really don't. I don't listen to Christian radio. And I thought, oh, I'm gonna just, you know, the legalistic part of me was gonna come after him, you know?  Boy, I felt like this high. Because the end of the day, the end of the day, it's, it's what? It's communing with God. And that's what the word's about. That's what prayer is about. It's communing with God. And who loves us so much. Sometimes we feel like we have to be real fancy. God takes us where we are. You know, when you're, how do you feel when your little toddler says for the first time, dad, dad? Do you say, is that all you have to say? I mean, really?  No, what do you say? You go, call the relatives. He just acknowledged us. He said my name, right? How much more do you think the Heavenly Father delights when we say Abba and we just acknowledge him, right? We have that kind of a loving relationship if we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior. Chapter four, verse one. Now this is pretty heavy duty because he says, I charge you therefore, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ who will judge the living and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom. Would you say the next verse is pretty important? Yeah, real important. Verse two. Preach the word, be ready in season and out of season. In season when you're sharing the gospel and you're seeing God work and people will come to Jesus and you're like, oh, awesome.  Does that happen? Yeah, it happened to Apostle Paul in Acts chapter 22 in other parts of scripture. He said, I'm preaching. They just don't want to tear off their cloaks and throw dust in the air and they want the guys scourged and maybe killed. I mean, that's sometimes the response but it doesn't matter the response. It's about obedience. Whether we see the Lord moving or we don't see the Lord moving and we're planning seed, be faithful. Preach the word in season and out of season even when it's not popular. Even when you lose your job because of it. Even when you're mocked at school or you're booted out of a college. Be faithful with what God's given you. Convince, rebuke, exhort. With all, oh, here it comes again. Long suffering and teaching for the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine but according to their own desires because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers and they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables. Well, I'm so glad we don't have that today. No. It's everywhere. You have entire denominations in the last just a few decades. Historic proportions splitting down the middle between those that believe that the Bible is God's word and that Jesus is the way of the truth and life and that no one comes a father but through faith in Jesus and those who are teaching other things that tickle the ear and make people feel good. And it's massive. And this is a war, spiritual war that's taking place that was prophesied to take place and we're experiencing it as we speak. Verse five, that you be watchful in all things. Be watchful in all things. Oftentimes we as Christians can be, there's two extremes. One is where we can be so heavily minded we're no worldly good, earthly good. Have you heard that phrase before? Where we're just like, oh, and we're just like, no, I don't want to know what's going on. I'm just going to think about Jesus. You know, I'm not going to be aware of it.  So we can pray, we can intercede, right? We can be aware of the times that we're in. The other example is that we can be so consumed with news that we get stressed and worried because our eyes are off Jesus. And we've forget, no, I don't need to be stressed and worried. I'm going to pray that I know God is God and he's going to work. He's going to do his work. Right now, I believe the body of Christ, we need to be praying for people in the Ukraine and even Russian soldiers who may be believers. What I think is going to, a parent is going to be coming down the next few days. It could be horrific, but we don't let that consume us. But yet we also are not just turning off the world. We're still, we're engaging and we're watchful. And that's one reason why I really love it if we're to keep people updated because we need intercession. We have 65 cases right now where they speak in active litigation. And we need to be interceding and we need to be engaging. Endure afflictions. Do the work of an evangelist fulfill your ministry. Now, when we hear this, we're probably thinking, well, that's actually for the pastor and way to go pastor. We're going to encourage you way to go. We're behind you pastor. No, he's talking to you. And there's two questions you can answer.  Number one, do you have a personal relationship with God through faith in Jesus Christ? Are you a believer? That's the first. Second, is your heart beating? What's the third? There is no third question because if you know Jesus and you're alive, then he has you here for a purpose. He creates for his pleasure and for his glory. We're here for his purpose. And he's a compassionate God. And if we have no purpose for us here at all for his pleasure, for his glory, no purpose at all, he should take us home. It's much better to be with the Lord than to have to be down here. But Paul understood his purpose. We're followers of Jesus. He has a purpose for us here. And it's to live for him and to put him and to follow him. Some people may be hearing this saying, well, yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it. Doctrine, okay, right, right. But practically speaking, Brad, I don't have anything in the way of this ministry kind of thing, all right? I just, I don't pray for people. I'm not a prayer word. I just, I can't share my faith. Okay, for those of you who are still in denial that God can work through you. There's a little story about a 16-year-old boy. He'd given his life to Jesus and he was driving to school one day in his little opal GT. Like a Corvette only smaller and cheaper, okay? So he's driving up this hill on Texas Highway and this motorcyclist is passing cars. As he's approaching up the hill, the motorcycle hits him head on. The motorcycle goes smashing right through his windshield and smashes through his skull, all right? It's a very gruesome accident. He's rushed to the ICU at a hospital, Parkland General Hospital and the doctor tells his parents your son has had major brain damage. Even if he lives, he still could be a vegetable. You may still have to pull the cord, end quote. As far as the world was concerned, this boy and his future was in the trash, only be pitied for what could have been. And yet Californians, our God is a great recycler and he loves to take that which the world throws away and do something new. And he did that with this young boy because of his grace and mercy. This young boy had a tremendous miraculous healing. Using that left frontal lobe that was smashed in which deals with logic, reasoning, analytical thinking, speech communications. This young boy got his degree in business finance, a 3.86 in his major, put himself through undergrad, worked two years, then went to one of the top 20 law schools in the country, graduated the top half of his class. And I know this kid really well because it's me. And the reason I'm sharing this, praise God. And the reason I'm sharing this, in fact my whole left side here has been all reconstructed. I've got hip bone grafting where the cheek is. I really messed up that song, you know, the, anyway. So then they, you know, silicon, silicon, silicon, wires, reattachment, reattached the job. This has all been redone. But the reason I'm sharing this is not so you'll say, oh, that's the Lord's special warrior. The Lord has anointed him for a verily, verily, okay, stop the verilys. Talked to my wife.  Okay. But is that the way it is for all of us so? None of us have it all together. But that's where God's grace and forgiveness and mercy. That's where the Holy Spirit, he's working on us. And God wants to work through us right where we are. Not because of who we are, but because of whose we are. If we've given our lives to Jesus Christ. Life becomes exciting with purpose and meaning and dimension and adventure. When we walk with the Lord we've surrendered all our lives to Jesus Christ. And what he's going to do, it's all about him. Verse six, for I'm already being poured out as a drink offering and the time my departure is at hand.  What he's saying is I'm about to die. Okay, I'm about to die for Jesus. Verse seven, I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I've kept the faith. You know what I like about this? He didn't say, I saw at least 100 people come to Jesus. I founded several churches. I did, it's not about results. Cause that's God. God's the one who does results. He just calls us to be obedient. And that's what this verse is about. Is run the race and be followers of Jesus and not give up, not give up. He never gives up on us and we should not give up on what he wants to do through us. And verse eight, this is the final verse. And I'm also getting hungry. So I did that intermittent fasting thing and your metabolism just really cause you to get hungry. Sometimes I'm just telling you, although I cheated before this service. So I'm moving on. Verse eight, finally, and he means finally. Okay, cause he's about to go. This is finally there's laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge will give me on that day. No, whoa, whoa, whoa. Paul, I'm sorry. I know what your name used to be, Saul. You were the Azama bin Laden of the early church. There's a reason no invited you to Wednesday night Bible studies or scriptures because you would take them men and women and put them in prison. And you helped the first martyr become a martyr.  So you're gonna get the crown of righteousness. How do you figure that one? And it's simple because Paul knew that his righteousness was not from Paul, but through faith in Jesus Christ dying on the cross for all of his sin. He put his trust in Jesus. And cause Jesus separates all the sin in our life from this East is from the West is he bore it on the cross completely, unequivocally. Now, does that apply to us? Let's continue with that verse. And not only to me, but also to all who have loved his appearing. I like this word loved as appearing because it's a heart question, right? I mean, we may have maybe went through confirmation at some time in our life. Maybe went to confession and did communion and went to church camp. Maybe we set a prayer sometime, but this goes to the heart, whether or not we're real in our faith, whether we really have put our faith and hope in Jesus.  Let's say that tomorrow at exactly 130, this is hypothetical. No one knows the day of the hour. I get that, okay, all right. I'm always often corrected when I use this hypo. But let's just say tomorrow at 130 exactly, we know for some reason, we know that Jesus is coming back tomorrow at 130. What would you be thinking? Most believers would be awesome. Oh, I gotta call out Myrtle. I don't know if she knows the Lord. I gotta call, you know, it's like, it'd be better than Disneyland on steroids. I mean, it's just like, whoa, so awesome. However, there's gonna be some people probably here who are gonna be saying, oh shoot, I don't know if I'm gonna be going. I don't know if he's gonna take me. And one of the reasons may be you're saying to yourself, and no one around may know this, but you're saying to yourself, I've got this dark closet. And it's so bad, by the way, everyone has a dark closet just for the record, okay? We all have shame. We all have shame. But you say, no, no, no. I have a really dark closet and it's so shameful. How could God forgive me for this? Because I can't even forgive myself. You know what we're doing? It's like walking up to Jesus Christ on the cross and just picture Him on the cross right there. Dying on the cross, bleeding in it, pain and agony. And we walk up to Him and we say, nice try, Jesus. But you see, for me, that's just not good enough. And I believe that lie was answered to when He said on the cross, it is finished. And all we have to do in humility is to believe it, to believe that He died on the cross for our sins and surrender our lives for Him. And He will separate our sin as far as the east is from the west and we will become a child of living God with an eternity and salvation with God and a whole new life. And it's right here right now. And all you need to do is to respond. And if you felt the Holy Spirit, when I just shared that hitting your heart, that wasn't me, that's the Holy Spirit. And giving you an opportunity right now to receive Jesus. Let's pray. Heavenly Father.


and a series of events in commemoration of his 100 days in office and dignitaries from far and wide had converged on the ancient Oya town to commission the 34.85 kilometre Oya Fashoka Isheni link road which is strategic for transportation of commuters and food items to other parts of the country. Before the construction of the road commuters at that locality had had to contend with dilapidated infrastructure but that is now a thing of the past as the road is now set to be inaugurated. On Saturday 31st October 2020 at that crucial meeting both GDSE and the Governor agreed on the need to fix this road and our promised KIPA secondary governor gave KBSE a definite assurance that and I'm almost quoting him as soon as the contractor handing the money I say road project has completed the road to Isheni. I will order them to turn around and face Oya Isheni road. I wish to state that this road is very important to Oya state economy because it's the shortest existing affected concrete surface single-carriage linking Oya and Shai Tashi and it's also the only link through which Fashola and big business and big business industry all will be assessed. A few occasions I left Abuja came to Ibarra and I had to come to Oya to pass through the road and exactly what he told me was what I meant. He started from Isheni and he started from Oya and this is what we are witnessing. Special guest of honouring from a Mandarin president chief Oluxia Gul Obasanjo calls for more investments in agriculture and education which he says are pivotal to the sustenance of democracy. Governor Makin Day and his guests also visited the Fashola farms which is expected to be converted into an agri-business industrial hub. The two leaders also inaugurated the Isheni campus of the Ladoke Akimtola University of Technology where they renewed their call for more initiatives to develop local economy. The nature of employment is failure. Democracy that nurtures lack of peace and security on the throne overboard. This 34.85 kilometer U.S.I. road has high economic significance not just to the people of Oya and Shai but to the entire states and region. The fact that it is a federal road highlights its importance but as we find out as we move on to inspect the former Fashola livestock farm this road hosts one of our biggest assets in Oya state. In the previous administrations that made the throne go as they did in Lagos they will not come in and have to lay the foundation again. So I'm happy that in the last four years we have been able to grow Oya state out of the countries to a wider extent and will continue to take facility actions which the next administration can build on. Both leaders say they will continue to contribute their quota towards spreading infrastructure development across the country. They say empowering the ordinary Nigerians should be the priority of all at this critical juncture.
