I met a mayor of Rivne, and he was on the news because he speaks English. Mayor of Rivne was a very unique meeting with him. He gave me a history of Pentecostal movement in the Ukraine. And in the Pentecostal movement, there are two old dudes are there, black and white photos. The first one is his great-grandfather. His great-grandfather was the first pastor in this particular village where the Pentecostal movement did not begin necessarily, but it really was highlighted. Now, in this village, his great-grandfather was the pastor, but because he was getting persecuted a lot, they replaced him with my grandfather.  And the Soviets were a lot more sympathetic to people who looked like they were handicapped. And so they put him in, and he was there actually as a pastor for, if I'm not mistaken, about 20 years. So this was a very unique meeting because the mayor of Rivne meets with me, and he shows me the article of the official history of the Pentecostal movement in the Ukraine. And he said, listen, he said, my great-grandfather was the first pastor of this village. He said, your grandfather was the second pastor. And he says, look, years later, we're together. I'm the mayor, and you're the pastor in America. He said, how awesome is that? I was like, yeah, I guess. But I was just reminded that my grandfather was a hero. And then I read the story. It's in Ukrainian, so it's very difficult to understand. Pure Ukrainian is hard to understand even for Ukrainians, for those of you who know the same. And I read the story, and I find out that my grandfather, my grandfather Ivan, was actually a leper. Missionaries came into the village to tell about Jesus, and they witnessed to his family. And his father, which is my great-grandfather Lazarus, he hears the gospel, invites the missionaries, and then the missionaries pray for my grandfather, who his name is Ivan, like this Ivan. And he had leprosy, and God supernaturally heals him of leprosy.  And so I wanted to today use that as a foundation to start with this, how important healing is, not only to advancing the gospel. See, the healing for my grandfather, it wasn't about the gospel only, it was about his health. But healing is something that also helps to advance the gospel of Jesus Christ. And I want to speak today about experiencing healing today. God is still in the business of healing people. Now in our church we pray for healing a lot. Anytime we have a sickness or somebody falls into, we right away rally the troops and we pray for healing. We pray for healing every single month where we call out words of knowledge or we invite people to the front and anoint them with oil. We don't teach a lot about it, it's about practicing it, but today I want to just talk about it for just a few moments. In James, it's James chapter five, it says, if anybody is suffering, let him pray. If anybody is happy, let him sing songs. And then it says this, if anybody is sick, let him call elders and let the elders anoint them with oil so that the prayer of faith will heal the sick. Sometimes people think that the New Testament puts sickness under the umbrella of suffering. But James makes a distinction between suffering and sickness. Because in your suffering you pray to get through it. You pray that God will help you to endure it, but in your sickness you pray a prayer of faith so you can engage and receive healing. And so I just want to encourage your faith today. There are six main stances concerning the topic of miracles. The first one is anti-supernaturalists. These are the people who believe that anything supernatural in the Bible is fabricated. God doesn't do miracles. Everything, God just uses science or God just uses natural processes. The second stance concerning miraculous, these are hardcore cessationists. These people, they reject supernatural manifestations. They don't embrace miracles. They don't believe in demonic possession today. Their view is that God can perform miracles and he did only to help write the Old and the New Testament.  Because why would he want to do that if the Bible is already completed? Then the third category are the soft core cessationists. These are the people who believe that God can do miracles, but we shouldn't expect them. God can do miracles, but it's mainly in Africa, India, Siberia, and somewhere where the gospel has not been preached and God cannot get through them through the preaching. God uses a miracle out of his pocket to really get through people and once he gets them, then he connects them to the Word and miracles are no more. Then there's the fourth category of people and these are believing continuationists. Believing continuationists are those who believe that miracles have continued since the days of the death of the apostles and the writing of the New Testament. They believe all the right stuff. They're just only one problem. They actually don't practice it. They believe that miracles can happen. Deliverances can happen. They just don't happen with them, through them, and by them. Predominantly, that's kind of how a lot of the Pentecostal and even charismatic churches and believers even in the United States today. The fifth group of people and these are, I would say, we are around that, not to brag, just slightly to brag about us. And these are practicing continuationists who believe that God can do miracles, expect these miracles and take step of faith to see these miracles happen. Come on, somebody. Any practicing continuationists we have here, you're like practicing what? Just believe her. The sixth group and this is the one that gives us bad rap and that's the abusing continuationists. These are the people who will heal only if you give them a certain amount of money. These are the people who will exalt the prophecy above the written word of God and people who have abused the ministry of the supernatural. But just because there's an abuse of something, it does not cancel the use of something. Just because the devil abused the scriptures taken out of the context in the wilderness, Jesus didn't drop the scriptures and say, OK, I can't quote the scriptures. I'm going to quote now one of the Greek philosophers. Why? Because the devil has abused the scriptures. We stick with the word of God and we believe God is the same yesterday, today and forever. He still heals. He still delivers and he still saves. So many Christians strip up over the Paul's thorn in the flesh. But what about the thorn in the flesh of the Paul? Now, we don't know exactly what Paul's thorn was. It seems like that it was, as Paul describes, a messenger of Satan sent to buffet him, to torture him, to torment him.  The anointing upon your life as great as it is does not require a thorn. And if you need one, God has given you kids and a wife, a husband or gas prices. We all got that thorn. But most likely the thorn in Paul's flesh was the persecutions that he endured. But let's just say for a moment that it was a sickness. Come on, we don't look at Paul's thorn. We look at the stripes of Jesus. Healing comes from what Jesus did on the cross, not for what happened to Paul or what happened to Job. I want to encourage your faith today. If you have your Bible, let's go together with me to 2 Kings chapter 5 and verse 3. Then she said to her mistress, If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria, he would heal him of his leprosy. This is the story of Naaman, who was a leper. And Naaman captures people and brings them into his house and captures this little girl. And when she sees that even though he is a leper, he was still a successful soldier and a successful general. Which let me just stop for a moment. I love the fact the Bible highlighted that Naaman was not stopped by his sickness.  Now I understand some sicknesses they literally make you immobile for you can't do anything. But Naaman was a leper and in that day lepers were removed from the society. Somehow he was able to still fight, win and the Bible says he was used by God. He was still used by God though he was a leper. No matter how great your sickness is, don't make your sickness your God. It may restrict you, but it shouldn't stop you. Come on somebody.  He is used by God and he has a leprosy. And it seems like sometimes we look at people who are successful or maybe you're one of them.  And when you don't see healing or you don't see health for a long time you start developing philosophies. I remember talking to this great man of God this week he has a terminal illness. We were praying for his healing and everything and we were talking and he went from you know saying that he believes in God to heal him too. He says you know what I know why God let me have this sickness. So I'm like I'm all ears but tell me what did you learn? He says if it wouldn't be for this sickness I probably would have committed adultery. And he's like man this sickness has really kept me from a lot of sin and I get what he's coming from. That it's teaching him, he's learning and that's how a lot of believers are. The moment you first believe for healing and it doesn't happen you become a philosopher. You right away develop ideas. They're not always anti-biblical. Sometimes they're extra biblical but nevertheless they're not biblical. And so and I'm listening to this and I get it I sympathize and I was like yeah I get I feel you bro. Like that totally makes sense like you probably would have done this and done that. But see the problem is that when you begin to give sickness this improper place. It's hard to fight against something you deemed as good for you. Now is it true that God can teach us a lesson through it? Yes he can. Is it true that when you stay long in it God is so good in his mercy and grace. Can use anything to modify your character, sanctify you and develop you. Yes he can. But please be careful not to make a doctrine out of your prolonged experience. It's important to stick with the Bible even if it seems to contradict what I'm going through. And we don't need to give our sickness a good rap just because we can't get rid of it. Just because I've learned something just because I got sanctified I became more patient. I became more humble more dependent. It does not mean that that is from God and God has sent it or God has condoned it or God wants it in my life. Now let me go a step further. If sickness is that great why take vitamins? If it's such a great blessing from God why go on dialysis? If it's a tool in God's hands why destroy it? But what we do it typically is we come on Sunday and we play this God your will whatever you want God. I'll take the sickness. And then on Monday we go at 9 o'clock in the morning to the doctor said doctor get rid of it. Come on doctor fight come on is there any new treatments come on. Come on my insurance can't cover that new treatment and so I'm like so what happened on Sunday? Why was faith used in its minimum to fight against it but medical insurance is maximized to its maximum to get rid of it? If sickness is really God's blessing why was the body God created always fights against bacteria, virus and disease? How did God create it in such a way where even when you sleep your body is like an army? It's called immune system.   Some of us you know there's some people who went to a theological school and they were taught that healing is not for today. God doesn't want to heal. Healing sickness is good for you. Let me just for a moment. Why don't you take a lesson from your biology? You can get a lot of theological understanding by looking at how your body works. It fights against disease and your body did not even go through theological school praise God. Your body was created to fight against sickness and disease. Medicine fights against sickness and disease and sometimes we come to church and we're just not sure. And we're sure in the beginning is just the moment we get used to it. We domesticated it and now our insurance covers it. We're like you know what I can still work. I'm still winning. I'm still being used by God. You know what maybe this leprosy thing it serves some good. It keeps me in balance. God is trying to help me appreciate the good things I have in life. You know what maybe it's because I you know I've done some bad things and but God's mercy is still there. I want to tell you something. God has a way of helping us to keep the balance but that is not through sickness. God will give you critics persecution and hardships but sickness is not one of them. What I'm saying is that I want you to be aggressive against sickness. Why because your body is your body is fighting it every day. In fact when your body stops fighting against sickness that's when you know you have another sickness. When your immune system stops fighting that's not healthy. That's a bad thing. And so for Christians I want to encourage you Christians we are to embrace suffering. We're not running from hardships and sufferings but when it comes to a sickness James tells us this. He says call the elders not so he they can pray a prayer of strength but so they can pray a prayer of faith. So God can heal you in Jesus name. Come on somebody. Amen. If you're taking notes I want to share just three simple thoughts concerning healing. Number one is that healing comes by faith and faith comes by hearing. As Naaman his faith that God can heal him came from a little girl whom he had in her house in his house. Now the Bible says that each one of us as believers have a measure of faith. That means that as a Christian the moment you became a Christian God has already given you a little portion of faith. You have that faith but this faith can grow. How does this faith comes? How does this faith grows? It grows through hearing. Now every one of us has a little girl in our house and this is not a little girl. I'm just using it for the sake of the analogy but some of us do not trust this word because we think what can it do? I don't feel inspired Vlad when I read this. The doctors report are more real. The symptoms are more real.  It always gets in and makes the word of God of no effect. Some of us have been poisoned by traditional teaching the sickness is from God. God doesn't heal today that it hinders the flow of God's word. It's like we put a duct tape and a zipper on this on this word speaking in our house. It says listen you can actually be healed.  You can actually be healed and we're like nah man I tried that. Nah that's that stuff is just that's just a lot of emotionalism. Nah I don't believe in that. I want to tell you something if you humble yourself and you accept what the word of God says you will have faith and faith will lead you to your miracle. Now the little girl told Naaman if he goes to Samaria he will be healed. Let me tell you what God's word says. It tells us that it is God's will to heal you. When a leper came to Jesus and said Jesus if you're willing heal me Jesus says hold on buddy I am willing to be healed. That settles it for us. Does God want to heal you? He already answered that. He's willing. He wants to heal you. What about you know just because God is willing it doesn't mean he's going to do it. You're right. Can he do it? The Bible says the healing is not just something God does it's someone he is. He's Jehovah Jireh the Lord my healer. Now I could be willing for example to give Ivan a house. I'm willing to give you a house. But it's different when I go in and I promise to give him a house. Don't worry I won't be making those promises because everything's recorded right now. But let's say that I am willing to make him a house. There's just only one problem is I only have one house and that one is not even paid off so I can't really give him a house. But let's just say miraculously one of you gives me a check today and I pay off my house. I give him a house. The problem is that I only have one. So if I give him I don't have it for another person. See healing is not just something God has that if he gives it to you he has it less for you. Healing is someone he is. He is a healer. He doesn't lose it by giving it to you. He doesn't lose it from somebody else. He has enough of it and he doesn't just want to heal us. He promises to heal us in Psalm 100. It says this blessed the Lord of my soul and he says forget not all of his benefits. He forgives all of your sins and he heals all of your diseases. That is the promise. He didn't say some of them. He didn't say just the back pain just the easy ones. He says all of the diseases. He's like no God was exaggerating. Well the verse before he says he forgives all of your sins. God wasn't exaggerating on that. You won't go into God's like yeah God only forgives the big ones but not the small ones. No God forgives all of our sins and that means that God heals all of our diseases. That is the promise. God doesn't throw words in the air. God doesn't brag. God doesn't exaggerate. God means what it says. Come on somebody. God is willing. God is a healer. He promises to heal. But you know what one thing that gets me all the time? Where my faith comes from is the fact not only God promises. God wants. God is a healer. But it's the fact he paid for it on the cross. My faith comes from the fact that Jesus Christ healed the Bible says because he bore their sicknesses upon his body. Now there's a famous thing that is going around. Jesus took 39 stripes and it represents 39 root sicknesses. And I said it before and I apologize. That's actually not accurate. There's not one instance in the Bible that says Jesus got hit with 39 stripes. The idea that Jesus got hit with 39 stripes. It's a Jewish law that you couldn't hit anybody more than 39 stripes. The problem is Jewish people were not beating Jesus. Romans were and they did not have that law. Regardless, he was beaten for our sickness. The Bible says the regardless. The Bible says clearly is that he was scorched for our sickness, which means that Jesus not only wants to heal us. Not only he is our healer. Not only he promises to heal us, but Jesus actually purchased our healing. So today it's not about God, please heal me. Today it's about something else. What is that? That's point number two. So not only I get my faith for a miracle from God's word, but secondly is that we must release our faith by speaking to our disease. Now that's not what this says over there, but I'll get to that. We must release our faith. We receive our faith by God's word. We release our faith by exercising our authority. I want you to notice when Naaman received his faith from a little girl who told him, you can be healed. I want you to notice what the little girl told Naaman. She says this to him, if only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria, for he would heal him. The girl did not told Naaman that Elisha would pray for you. This girl has some faith. This is what she says. She says my prophet would heal you like lay hands and like pray. No, he heals. I thought God does that. Yeah, he heals. That's weird. He will heal like whoa. That's pushing it. So the guy writes a letter from his master employer comes to the king of Israel. Here's Naaman. He's sick. Heal him. The king rips his clothes and says, am I God? I can't heal anybody. What do you think I am? I'm not that kind of guy. And when I read it, I'm like, yeah, that's how I feel most of the time when the sick person comes in. Like, there's nothing I can do. I'm just fragile. It's just the weak warm of the dust. I can heal. Only God can heal. Not God. And we feel we connect with that king and that's why most of us don't see healings. The next verse, it says the prophet Elisha heard that. He sends a messenger to the king and he says, fool, what are you doing? He said, why did you rip your clothes? He says, send that guy to me so that that guy will know there's a prophet in Israel. It seems like Elisha is walking around like he is God. He's not. But see, Elisha walks in authority. And see, when you don't walk in authority, you're only talking to God about the issue. When you walk in the authority, you talk to the issue about God. It's a completely different game. Come on, somebody. Now, when you begin to feed yourself with God's word, you will come upon the instruction in God's word. Dear friends, listen very carefully. That in the New Testament, Jesus did not pray for the sick. He healed the sick. He came to the blind people. He didn't say, Father, if it's your will, he said, be opened. He didn't come to the Lazarus tomb and says, Lord, raise him from the dead. He says, thank you for hearing me every time I pray. Lazarus, come out. Disciples did the same. They came to the temple and they saw a lame man lying there. They didn't raise his hands and say, let me just pray for you. Lord God, in the name of Jesus, if it's your will, please heal him. Oh, they looked at that man and they said, we give you what we have. Get up and walk. They healed. They didn't pray for healing. Now, is it wrong to pray for healing? Of course it's not. But the biblical way is not to pray for healing. It's to heal. The biblical way is not the way of the king of Israel. I don't have anything. It's the way of the prophet. Gold and silver, I don't have. Now, unfortunately, we do have gold and silver, except the other part we don't have. It's that I know who I am. What is the difference between the king and the prophet? It was one simple thing. The king was aware of what he did not have, who he was not. Prophet was aware of who he was and who God was in him. The more you focus on your godliness, on your own faith, on your own goodness and everything, you will always feel inadequate. It will never be enough.  Faith will bubble up and authority will begin to flow through your life. The Bible says the name of Jesus is power. There is this thing in the United States called the power of attorney. The power of attorney is if somebody else has access in case you can't full the function or you're maybe in a coma or something. And somebody else has the power to make decisions on your behalf. Now, power of attorney is the legal document where the doctor, the lawyers, the judge, everybody else now has to trust what you say on behalf of somebody else. See, when Jesus went to heaven, he left us his name. He gave us the power of attorney. That's why the sickness has to obey because the sickness understands not your power, the power of his name backed up by the Holy Spirit, backed up by the power of God. When you speak, the power speaks. When you move, the power moves. When you declare, the power declares. That's why the Bible says if anybody has faith and they speak to this mountain, it shall be moved. You can prophesy to the dry bones. You can speak to that situation and it will happen. Come on, somebody give God some praise right now. Give God some glory right now for the power of his name, for the power of his blood, for the power of his name. Small faith talks to God about our situation. A great faith speaks to our situation. But I want to encourage each and every one of you today. While we do pray for healing, anoint with oil, but we know that the command Jesus has given us is that the power of God is released when we understand who Jesus is, who we are in him. Not how weak and fragile we are, which we are, but how great he is. The moment we take our eyes off of ourselves, his power will begin to flow. I am always reminded that the first healing that happened in the Bible, at least the first healing that is mentioned in the Bible, happened when Abraham prayed for the wives of Abimelech.  Abimelech, of course, said in innocence of my hands and the integrity of my heart I did that God, I did not know. God's like, I know that, I get you. But now in order to experience healing from barrenness, you need to do something. And this is one of those ridiculous stories for me personally in the Bible, especially when it comes to healing.  Now remember, Abraham is the one who lied to Abimelech. And God calls Abraham prophet. The first mention of the word prophet in the Bible is in this story. So the first healing in the Bible, the first time God speaks in the dream in the Bible and the first mention of prophet is in this story. Now think about it. Poor Abraham had a very low dose of faith. Okay, put his wife literally through his wife in the court to be somebody else's wife. God comes to Abimelech and says, Abimelech, I got you and I'm going to heal all the women in your court. There's just one thing. Abraham is my prophet and he needs to pray for healing. Now, Abraham has never seen a healing. His own wife is barren. Imagine Abimelech coming and say, Abraham, you lied to me. I'm sorry, Abimelech. I just had a really low dose of faith. I should have not done that. Yeah, and God said, you need to pray for my wife's to be healed of barrenness. Abraham's like a newsflash. My own wife is barren. We don't like do that stuff. We're still believing for a miracle. Until then, I cannot give you what I don't have. And I think that's what Abimelech took another step and he says, did you know what God called you? What did he call me? Prophet. He called me prophet. Really? Prophet?  Because I mean, I kind of lied. I was not, yeah, he called you a prophet. And I think when Abimelech told Abraham that God called you a prophet, I think Abraham's faith bubbled up. I was like, I think I am. Had a weak moment yesterday, but today I think I'm good. Where's the women? Line them up. Let's go fire. And they all conceived and Abraham's wife was still barren. That tells me that just because you're still battling with the sickness, it doesn't mean that God cannot use you. Sometimes it's easier to experience a healing through you than in you. Sometimes it's easier to believe for somebody else than to believe for yourself. But sometimes God will stretch your faith and say, I want you to believe for somebody else. I want you to pray for somebody else. But you will feel inadequate. You will feel not good enough. You will feel like, man, but I said some things. I did some things. I didn't read enough for Bible and everything, but it's never about you. It's not about your character. It's about your identity in Jesus Christ. We should always work on our character. We should always grow in our Godliness. But the power of God that lives inside of us flows through our faith in who Jesus is. That's why you can heal the sick, cast out demons and prophesy and live your life practicing lawlessness. You must say, how is that possible? It's easily possible. When you know who Jesus is, you can live a bad life and still be used by God. Now, God is not advocating that.  Why? Because of cockroaches in their head. I'm not good enough. You will never be good enough if you compare yourself with yourself.  I'm growth in progress. I'm growing in the Lord. I am knowing the Lord. And I'm going to give what I have. And what I have is the name of Jesus. I am a legal representative of God on this earth. And it is God's will to destroy sickness. It is God's will to heal the sick. It is God's will to drive out demons. I might not feel good today. I might even have a pinky that is hurting today. But it's the name of Jesus Christ who heals the sick. And He will use me today to heal the sick. He will accomplish His purpose and His will through my life. Hallelujah. And the last thing I want to share is that miracles happen when we don't give up until we get an answer. Naaman goes to the king. The king says, I can't do this. The prophet says, I can come to me. And then he comes to the prophet. And Naaman has watched a lot of YouTube videos. He's seen how the healings are done. The Bible says he had this expectation. I think he's probably heard that prophet Elisha does this thing with his hand because he was expecting that prophet Elisha would wave his hand over the sickness of Naaman. So he comes, he's expecting, he got the gifts, he got the photos, the videos for the testimony purposes, of course. And so he's waiting for that. And Elisha doesn't even come out. The guy doesn't even give him the courtesy of his presence. He sends one of their guys and he gives them these simple instructions. He says, take right, left, straight and then go over there. There's a river over there. It's pretty dirty, cold and not comfortable. Seven times, bro. One, two, three, four, six, seven, seven times. And after that, your skin will be as good as the baby's skin. And that was so offensive to Naaman because here is his test, the test of faith now. When you were expecting, it's not happening like that. And then you ask yourself a question. Do I still want to be healed? Or do I want things my way? Healing can happen instantly. Healing can happen progressively. That's why the Bible says that they shall recover. Recover is a process. Sometimes it happens instantly. Sometimes it happens by a process. Sometimes it happens when you came for healing and you got delivered. You're like, that's not what I was expecting. Sometimes you come for healing. You were hoping that that pastor or that leader will pray for you and they didn't pray for you. They send one of the newbies.  Like, that's it? Come on, man, I've been hiding for three years. Where was my like three minutes?  Do something with me. I need to be healed. Give me more attention. At the end of the day, we have to be more committed to experiencing God's healing in our body than the means and how it's going to take place. I want to encourage every person today. Today can be the day of your healing. If you've been waiting, you've been expecting. Maybe you're fighting for the health of your body, the health of your family or one of your family members. And maybe you have learned to manage it, live with it. It still doesn't change the fact.  We're not pushing healthy, wealthy gospel. What we are preaching is Jesus died on the cross for our sin and he wants to heal us of our diseases. Our bodies are the tools in the hands of God. God wants to restore you and heal you. God wants to bless you today. He wants to meet you at the point of need. His name is Jehovah Rafa, the Lord who heals you. My faith is stirred up. Not just to talk about healing, but to see it manifest. Now, manifest not as a new age word, manifest. We're not going up to God and trying to twist God's arm to give a healing as we've heard today. He already has given that to us. We're not trying to get anything from him. We're trying to collaborate with him to see it happen and manifest on this earth. Hey, thanks for watching this video.

Katapolis today or Katanews today are officials also arrested three for trafficking, sharing and employing domestic workers in Katapolis. Remember, a lot of recruitment companies, a lot of individual person, people may come in to promise you greener pasture open, promise you jobs in whatever a way, but this is a kind of a warning, maybe it's kind of resistance because remember part of the individual come in to promise you jobs, but they don't have the jobs. Remember, I told you most of the times as we come to this Gulf countries or when you come to the Gulf countries, you have what you call a work visa, you have what you call a work visa and the work visa is normally sponsored by what you call a national living in that country. It's the one supposed to sponsor that visa and most of the visas are being work visa, but most of people, individual people, get to share up people, get to lie people in the kind of assets promises them to come on a visa, spend a lot of money, then after coming on a visa, they will promise them partial job or part time job that will be earning a lot of money, which is not the case. In today's video, I want us to share a small clip of the the the breaking news that is coming from the officials in Qatar. Qatar news today, officials arrest three for trafficking, shelling and employing domestic workers. The search and the follow-up department that is SFD at the general director of passports arrested three men. One of them are from one of the Asian countries for trafficking, shelling and employing domestic workers, acting on a suspicious advert on social media regarding domestic workers after taking the necessary permission and coordinating with the relevant security departments, the SFD court accused red handed as the shield many house maids. During the interrogation, they chose conference that the charges against them gave details of how they shelter and employ domestic workers through ads published on the social platform. According to the accused, we are referred to the public prosecution for father legal procedures followed in this regard. So this is a warning forever forever as someone promises you job, definitely need to find out whether the job is legit and find out whether the job exists. Thank you so much for coming back to this channel. See you again in the next video as we try to see most of these interesting updates that will enable us light up our minds in one order. Don't forget, this makes from the next question to you. See you again in the next video.


Welcome to World's Best Videos. We've compiled a list of facts about YouTuber Lispy Jimmy. Let's get into it. He was born on October 16, 1996. He was from New York. On October 6, 2012, the channel UnitedGamers4545 was created. The username UnitedGamers4545 was because of him being part of a clan, UnitedGamers. This is also the reason his Twitter username is UnitedGamersHD. His first uploads on his channel were all Call of Duty content. He frequently uploads draft-to-thought-o videos. Lispy Jimmy possibly might be a version. In a Q&A, he tells us a hilarious story about how he almost lost his virginity to a sister's friend. He has two cards. He bought an Audi S3 and he also has a red Subaru WRX. He has revealed his girlfriend on Instagram. Well, hopefully you guys enjoyed that video and if you did, remember to smack that like button.

The third type of elementary matrices 2.0 that we wanna talk about is how do you upgrade a replacement matrix? How are we gonna generalize that? Well, this leads to the idea of triangular matrices, which there's gonna be two types of triangular matrices we're gonna talk about, which will then correspond to the fact there's really two types of replacement operations we are gonna talk about. So the first one is what we call an upper triangular matrix. An upper triangular matrix is gonna be a square matrix in by n, all of these matrices to talk about so far in by n square matrices. A upper triangular matrix is gonna be a matrix so that all of the numbers below the diagonal are necessarily zero. And so for example, an upper triangular matrix, you see something like this, that if you look at the numbers on the diagonal and above the diagonal, they can be whatever they want. They can be whatever they want, but the numbers below the diagonal have to be zero. And this is why we call it an upper triangular matrix that the location of nonzero numbers is necessarily gonna make this triangular shape. And that doesn't mean that the numbers above the diagonal have to be nonzero. They could be zero too, that's okay. The zero matrix, for example, is an upper triangular matrix. Upper triangular just means that everything below the diagonal has to be zero. And in a similar direction, a lower triangular matrix is gonna be a matrix, square matrix so that everything below the diagonal is, I should say everything above the diagonal is gonna be zero. So the things above the diagonal have to be zero, but the things below it, they could be whatever they want. And so if you look for the nonzero numbers, this is gonna be forming this lower triangular region. This is why we call them upper triangular and lower triangular for these reasons right here. But of course, the numbers along the diagonal, things below the diagonal could be zero for a lower triangle, that's perfectly fine. Now there are some special types of triangular matrices we want to introduce right now. If we add the adjective unit in front of a triangular matrix, that means that we're requiring that the diagonal entries be one. So if you look at this upper triangular matrix right here, we say it's unit upper triangular if the diagonal entries have to be one. And similarly, we say that a unit lower triangular matrix, it's a lower triangular matrix, but the diagonal entries have to be one. Unit here describing the multiplicative unit that is one. We say that a matrix is strictly triangular if the diagonal entries are all zero. So a strictly upper triangular matrix like this, we have zeroes along the diagonals. So we actually might draw our triangle a little bit smaller in fact. And strictly lower triangular get the same idea. We require zeroes along the diagonal right here. And so the nonzeros are only gonna be this lower triangular region there. We're not gonna worry so much about strictly triangular matrices in this lecture. Triangular matrices and unit triangular matrices will be of concern that strictly triangular ones we'll talk about a little bit more in the future. Now I mentioned that the main reason we want to distinguish between upper and lower triangular is that well, the location of the nonzero entries does make a difference. An upper triangular matrix is gonna be a square matrix that's essentially a national on form. It's basically a new word for what we already had, right? So notice that an upper triangular matrix is gonna be a matrix in echelon form, absolutely. A lower triangular matrix would actually be something that's an upside down echelon form. So what we call like chandelier form or something like that, I don't know. But in particular, it's not an extremely new concept as idea of upper triangular matrix. I should mention that if something is of course upper triangular and lower triangular, that actually makes it a diagonal matrix because upper triangular says everything below, everything below the diagonal is zero and upper triangular, lower triangular says everything above the diagonal is zero. So if we put this together, everything except the diagonal has to be zero. So the intersection of the space of upper triangular and lower triangular matrices is the space of diagonal matrices. And it does turn out that of course, if you take the set of upper triangular matrices, that forms a subspace for vector space F to the end by end. Why is that? Well, because if you add together two upper triangular matrices, you have zeros below the diagonal, when you add those together, you'll still have zeros below the diagonal. It's closed under addition, same thing for the lower triangular ones. And if you scale a upper triangular matrix, all of these zeros will still be zeros, C times zero is still zero. Same thing for the lower triangular ones. So these things are closed under linear combinations. Just like we saw with the diagonal matrices, if you take the product of upper triangular matrices, that'll also be upper triangular. If you take the product of lower triangular matrices, that'll also be lower triangular. Unfortunately, if you take the product of an upper triangular and a lower triangular, we don't have necessarily to guarantee what's gonna happen there. Turns out we'll see with the LU factorization that basically every matrix can be factored into a product of an upper and lower triangular matrices with some important exceptions. And so the general product is gonna be basically everything but upper triangular times, upper triangular is upper triangular. And same thing can be said for lower triangular. So those, the set, the space of matrices is again closed under matrix addition, skill of multiplication and matrix multiplication, believe it or not. Unit upper triangular matrices do have the property that they're not gonna be closed under skill of multiplication or addition because if you add or scale these things, you're gonna change the ones along the diagonal, all right? But they do have the property that they close under multiplication. A unit upper triangular times, a unit upper triangular is unit upper triangular. Same thing can be said for unit lower triangular matrices. The strictly upper triangular matrices also much like the upper triangular matrices, they will be closed under addition if you add two strictly upper triangular matrices together, it'll be strictly upper triangular. Same thing if you scale them, same thing if you multiply them, the same thing can be said for strictly lower triangular matrices as well. And so these can be viewed as subsets of F to the end by end, which in terms of dimension, this one's kind of an interesting argument here. The dimension of the upper triangular matrices can be N times N plus one over two. And you might wonder where in the world did that dimension come from? And the idea is, if you put a little asterisk here, it's like, okay, you have some degrees of freedom going on here. To be upper triangular, you could choose that asterisk be whatever you want. You have to get zeros everywhere else. And in terms of the dimension, you get something called the triangular numbers, right? If you start taking these triangles, and you start stacking them on top of each other, you have a line with one, a line with two, a line with three, a line with four, a line say with five, and we can keep on making these triangles bigger and bigger and bigger. And so we might ask how many stars are in this triangle where you're gonna get one plus two plus three plus four plus five and just keep on going right until you stop with N. If you're N by N. And these are called the triangle numbers. Counting numbers stars in these triangles. And there's a cute little formula that shows you that the sum of the triangle, or the sum of the consecutive numbers gives the triangle, that's gonna be N times N plus one over two. You actually can see a video right here if you wanna see a proof of this formula for the triangle numbers. Another formula you can use is that this right here is just N choose two. If you're familiar with the binomial theorem. All right. And so that gives you the dimension of the upper triangular matrices. Like I said, this one's not closed under linear combinations unit triangular matrices. So it doesn't make a subspace. So we wouldn't talk about dimension. For strictly upper triangular matrices or strictly lower triangular, it's the same basic idea. It's just you only get degrees of freedom off of the diagonal. So you're gonna take N times N plus one over two minus N, which you can then write that as two N over two. And so then you end up with N. When you combine those together N squared plus N minus two N over two. Simplify you get N squared minus N over two.  In case you are interested as these subspaces of these triangular matrices. Some other things we should mention about triangular matrices. An upper triangular matrix can be factored as a product of elementary matrices of replacement type. Now these are gonna be the replacement matrices one uses in the backward phase of the Gaussian Jordan elimination. So these upper triangular matrices correspond to the backwards phase. The back, not the Bach phase, the backwards phase. And likewise, the lower triangular matrices are gonna correspond to the forward phase of Gaussian elimination. And so that's sort of an important distinction here. But in particular, an upper triangular matrix and a lower triangular matrix can be factored. Now, if you take a unit triangular matrix that can be factored into just replacement matrices. And so unit triangular matrices are gonna be replacement matrices 2.0. Upper triangular matrices and lower triangular matrices. This would be if you start combining replacement matrices and scaling matrices together, especially if you allow for zero as part of that. So let's see some examples. Here's a matrix A, which is gonna be upper triangular. It's not unit triangular nor strictly triangular, but it is an upper triangular matrix. Same thing can also be said for B right here. Now it turns out that detecting whether a triangular matrix is singular or non-singular is pretty easy. Much like diagonal entries, we just have to look at the diagonal entries. Triangular matrix, whether it's upper or lower triangular, it'll be non-singular if and only if its diagonal entries are all non-zero. So we're gonna see that A right here is an example of a non-singular matrix. On the other hand, matrix B, because it does have a zero along its diagonal, it's gonna be a singular matrix. Singular. And so we can compute the inverse of A. You're gonna see that the inverse of A, which is also upper triangular, you're gonna get one half one and one fourth along the diagonals. You notice those are the reciprocals of the diagonal of A. That's easy. The other numbers are less obvious. And so I'm not gonna present any formula. We can just use the inversion algorithm there. If you wanna take the product of any two upper triangular matrices, you do get something that's upper triangular. Here's for example, A times B. Let you verify that one. And also like I promised, upper triangular matrices can be factored using replacement matrices and perhaps scaling matrices if it's not unit triangular. So the matrix A, I'm gonna zoom out a little bit so we can see all of these together. The matrix A can be factored the following way. So you have a scaling matrix, scale the fourth row by four. You have an upper replacement matrix. This will be one used in the backwards phase. This will look like row one replaced by row one minus five times row three. Here's another backwards phase replacement. Row two minus three times row three. And then you have a scaling matrix right there. Scale the first row by two. That gives us an elementary factorization of A. And you can just find this from just doing row reduction, right? How would you do each of these operations? Go through it one by one by one. Since it's upper triangular, you're already starting the backwards phase. You would scale the third row by one fourth. Then you'd cancel out these numbers right here. And then you have to scale the first row by one half. And so we get this factorization. I also want to present a factorization for B. You have to be a little bit more careful when you scale by zero because if you're not careful, scaling by zero can devastate things and destroy them. But this does give you a legitimate factorization. Scale the third row by three. Take row one minus two times row two. Take row two minus, sorry, this one was take, you take row one minus two times row three. This one is row two minus five times row three. This you're gonna scale the second row by zero. Then you're gonna take the first row minus row two and then scale the first row by three. And that gives you a factorization into air quote elementary matrices. Technically speaking, this is not an elementary matrix because multiplying by zero is not, that's a singular matrix right there. But that's because this matrix right here is singular as well. So every non-singular matrix can be factored it can be factored to a product of elementary matrices. Since B was singular, at least one of the factors in this factorization cannot be elementary. And so this is what we call a projection matrix. Something we'll talk about later in this series. And singular matrices, when you factor them, we'll have to have some type of projection going on into it. It's an example of an item poping matrix. And again, something we'll talk about a little bit later in this lecture series.


how to take ultimate revenge on the narcissist, how to hurt the narcissist in return for everything they have done to you. You feel like they tricked and deceived you and you want to take revenge on them after everything they did to you and then they just walked away without any problems or worries. It makes you feel like you were treated unfairly so you might try to take revenge on them but then you find that some of the methods you tried didn't work it didn't affect them because there's really only one way that you can take revenge on a narcissist but many of you who don't know what that method is may have already tried different things you may have tried acting more alert and lively acting like you're busy or engaged in certain activities you might start going to the gym or doing your hair or makeup differently because you want them to take notice of you you want them to feel like they're missing out on something you want them to feel like they've lost something valuable and it's not always because you want them back maybe you just want that validation that they never gave to you so you might go out of your way to get their attention you might start dressing up or going out places to make them feel like they're missing out but you're not doing it for yourself you're only doing it to make a point to the narcissist to promote a certain idea to give attention to something that they wouldn't otherwise notice you want to make them think that you're doing good without them so you start dressing differently and posting pictures on social media and you're thinking that it's going to make them jealous but the narcissist can actually sense why you're doing those things they already know exactly the reasons why you're going out of your way to do that they know that you're trying to have an effect on them when you start acting like you're enjoying yourself without them they know it's not real they know it's just an act they can see your true intentions even while you're trying to make them believe something else it's very difficult to mask your true feelings or intentions around a narcissist they can sense it they know when it's just an act another way that many of you may try to get revenge it's by using someone to get over them you might try to attract someone else's attention think of that it's going to hurt the narcissist think of that it's going to make them jealous but this always causes more problems it always has unfortunate consequences because you're hurt, you're vulnerable and you're just looking for someone to comfort you you're looking for someone to make you feel better about yourself but this never works out because you're not in a clear state of mind it will just cause you to end up in another failed relationship or you may end up with another narcissist and you're just going to feel worse so I don't recommend looking for someone else in an attempt to get revenge on the narcissist it's not going to be good for you people can tell when you're hurt and this game is not going to work with a narcissist because this isn't the first time they've done this they're already prepared for what is about to happen and they will already know why you're doing what you're doing because they've done this before and they already know the effects that it has on people they already know how you're feeling and they know when your actions are a result of those feelings they've studied human behaviour and picked up on people's patterns of behaviour so they already know how you're going to react when they've discarded you there's no mystery or concealment you are easily understood and interpreted by the narcissist they already know how you're going to react they already know what you're going to do so when you're trying to take revenge on them they're laughing at you because they already know why you're doing it so it's not going to affect them they've seen this happen before they know why you're doing it and they just see it as a game they've done it so many times that it just becomes routine to them it's just a sequence of actions that they regularly follow there's no emotional connection to it because they've seen the same thing happen again and again so many times before they've seen people trying to get revenge on them and when you're trying to get revenge it just tells them that you still care a lot because it shows in your actions if you didn't care you wouldn't be trying to hurt them you wouldn't be trying to get revenge so when you're doing all of this it's just giving them supply it's just telling them how significant they are to you it's just telling them that you still care you may think you're hurting them by going on dates and posting pictures but the narcissist is not going to see it the way you think they'll see it they can read through your actions and they will know that you're only doing that because you're still hurt they will know that you're just trying to get revenge they're just going to see it as though you're only doing it because you don't have them or because of what they did to you they know that everything you're doing is because of them it tells them that you still care it tells them that you want them back because they see it as though if that was not true you wouldn't be trying to hurt them you wouldn't be trying to get revenge it just tells them that you're not happy with the separation because if you were happy with that you wouldn't be trying to get revenge on them you put in all of this effort in an attempt to prove a point to them but you're really just wasting your time because it's not going to do anything it's just going to cause more problems for you it's going to turn you into a person that you don't want to be you're becoming more like the narcissist it's almost like you will reverse the roles you will become everything you said they were while they will then look like the victims it's just going to turn you into something you never thought you would be or not having any effect on the narcissist because they're already expecting you to do something they're already expecting you to take revenge they know that you're going to be watching them they know that you're going to be keeping an eye on where they're going they already know all of that and that is why you shouldn't put yourself through this because they're just going to see you as a fool and even after everything you do to them they're still going to be laughing at you they're still going to be seeing it as a joke because while you're hurting and you're trying to take revenge on them they're already distracted by something else they're too busy thinking about something that is completely unrelated to you they don't even see what you're trying to do it doesn't even affect them they're not even thinking about you there's always going to be something more important to them their minds are always going to be on something else so they're not going to be missing out on anything they're not going to be thinking about you and the more time you spend trying to get revenge on them you're just going to be hurting yourself you're just going to become something you never thought you would be you're going to become more like the narcissist and it's going to become your standard way of living and behaving it will cause you to develop habits where you are still attached to them where you are unable to move on it will become an unhealthy obsession you will become more like the narcissist while they're still doing the same thing it's not going to affect them if you want to take ultimate revenge on the narcissist just ignore them don't take any notice of them and just move on with your life don't try to get their attention don't worry about what's going on in their lives after you've left them you shouldn't be concerned about what they think having a narcissist in your head is not good for your state of mind it's not going to do you any good it's unhealthy to worry about what a mentally ill person is thinking about you you need to move on with your life start focusing on yourself again do things that you enjoy focus on things that you want to accomplish when you do that the narcissist will immediately sense it they're going to know when you're at peace with yourself they're going to know when you're free from anxiety and distress it creates a distinctive atmosphere and quality that surrounds you and the narcissist will sense it when you're at peace with yourself when you finally find real happiness and see it they know there's no way for them to come back they know that you don't care about them anymore and that is what affects them when they know that they're not important to you anymore when they know they're not significant nothing affects the narcissist more than when they feel like they can't affect you

A lot of our online audience is asking about financing for medicine, business, and other fields. Do international students have a better chance of getting scholarships and fellowships in some fields compared to others? Oh my, well, the study of medicine, if we can address that right away, is one of the most challenging for any international student because the study of medicine and dentistry and veterinary medicine and law, unlike home countries, is not the same way. A student who wishes to study medicine, as you know, of course, has to do an undergraduate four years, then take an exam called the MCAT, the Medical College Admission Test, and then hopefully get into medical school for another four years, and then probably is going to specialize, so, you know, we're looking at 12 years between, from finishing high school till becoming an MD with a specialization. Funding for medical school is probably nonexistent. I personally tell students, if you are absolutely set on doing medicine as your career, if you can study it in your home country and then come to the United States to do your specialization, your residency, your fellowships, where you could get some amazing opportunities, and again, the Education USA advising centers have information on how that process would work. But the expectation to get a scholarship to study medicine is very unrealistic because the first challenge is to even get in, not even to think about getting money for it. But for the second part of the question, are there certain fields that might be getting more money than others? This goes back on the graduate level, that means masters and PhD, to the factor that certain departments may be getting themselves have a grant. So it could be that more in the sciences and the STEM fields, there may be more money available than in the humanities and social sciences. And that's a very broad generalization because it really will depend that is it masters or is it PhD? There might be more money at the PhD in economics than there will be at masters in economics. Maybe the program is impacted. They only take six students into the PhD economics, but they guarantee that they will fund those six students. So it is major or field specific, and it then gets broken down to masters and PhD. But the first thing would be to ask the university's department about their funding structure. And of course, when you're applying, they may still be in the middle of a budget cycle or applying for their next budget cycle. Many graduate departments may say, you know, first year we want you to prove yourself at our institution and within our department. But if things work out well, we then guarantee that for your second and continuing years, there would be funding. So it will very much depend on the department's own funding structure. Yes. What each university is a little bit different.


It's again just a bit of history on so I'm going to be talking about the SWAT satellite mission that's planned to launch in 2021 and again, it was recommended from the decadal survey in 2007 NASA in connection with the French Space Agency started developing the mission and the big objectives for the SWAT satellite Provide global inventory of surface water bodies and characterize storage changes and river discharges So there's a hydrology component, but it's also going to fly over the ocean. So there's an oceanography aspect looking at mesoscale and submesoscale circulation so I'm going to focus primarily on the terrestrial side for the hydrology aspects related to groundwater Again, it's right now. It set the launch in fall of 2021 out of Vandenberg Air Force Base and SpaceX is actually going to launch the satellite And what it's going to do is it's going to measure rivers and water bodies And I'm going to drop all the ocean stuff for this talk But rivers wider than roughly 50 to 100 meters In width and water bodies somewhere between 100 and 250 meters by 100 and 250 meters in extent So the actual measurements will get from the satellite our water extent water surface elevation the back scatter from the water surface as well as the slope of the water surface and The orbit and this is where it gets a little different from some of the other satellites that I work with at least It's a 21-day near global Orbit and so every 21 days it repeats its exact cycle But because it's a wide swath altimeter system you get multiple hits in a particular location depending on Where you are based on latitude, which I'll show more in a little bit And so what's novel about SWAT relative to what we have today is you're going to get the surface Extent and the elevation at the same exact time. So right now we have altimeters that are given elevation of water and We have things like Landsat and other sensors are giving us water extent, but we don't have them merged together So the simultaneous measurement as well as the resolution so the resolutions are going to be quite good relative to what we have now So for water surface elevations, we're looking at you know less than 10 centimeters for the vertical accuracy widths plus or minus 15 percent for river widths and then slopes are 1.7 centimeters per kilometer is the so the mission targets It's a three and a half year mission With the first half of the year is dedicated to getting it up and running and then a three-year science mission So hopefully we'll get a three-year stream of data at least It's going to be a little challenging to work with some of the data We're talking about terabytes of data per day for the life of the mission So everything is migrating to a cloud-based system for working with the data looking at the data analyzing the data And relative to you know to this group I think the the derived discharge product is probably the most Interesting as well as the water levels in the rivers But the idea is if we see change like we're going to go over a river go over river You're going to see the extent you're going to get the slope you're going to see the elevation and so we can look at The changes in an area But what we'll never see It's hard to see in this figure here Is the actual bathymetry below whatever low elevation the satellite's going to see so There's going to have to be some assumptions on the missing bathymetry piece and roughness But once we have those and we've got some methods that do that we can then estimate a river discharge from that This is just giving you a sense of the rivers that we're going to see so again, you know, it does have some limitations It's 50 to 100 meter wide rivers and this is just a general Value drain roughly 2000 square kilometers, so it's not all rivers the world that we're going to be monitoring. It's your larger rivers But in terms of surface extents, I think this figure showing something like 400,000 square kilometers of water surface terrestrial site is going to be monitored and This is getting at the repeat visit You can see the global average is is every 11 days you're going to get a measurement You get more at the poles than you do at the equator, and I think the best way to look at this is I Don't know if it shows up very well This is an example in the Mississippi and so looking at 450 stream gauges over the 21-day orbit the highlighted and blues are the ones that are getting hit on particular days and I'm going to pull out two gauges and as an example for this in a second But this is just looking at the Mississippi basin those gauges. You can see of this a frequency distribution of Samples most of the gauges are getting hit twice every 21 days So it's not like weekly, but it's you know It's you know a couple times every 21 days and if we look at this next figure. I'm just pulling out two examples The top one and the bottom one and it's the actual USGS flow with the sampled SWAT data And then we have one with uncertainty on it But might the point at the bottom is really the highlight The one site's getting hit three times per 21 days the other side's getting hitting twice per 21 days But the spacing of the measurements are not uniform so the top gauges on day 8 19 and 20 So you're getting two back-to-back days, and then one at day 8 So it's a it's a strange spacing of the samples that are going to be a little challenging for people to think about initially And then the point of this is the based on some again hasn't flown yet, so I only have synthetic data We think we can do a really good job fitting the stream flow distributions Maybe not the day-to-day variability, but the distribution of flow And this other figure I'm just showing here is the the quantiles So based on the flow distributions that we fit with the synthetic SWAT data We can estimate the quantiles fairly well, and so we think we can get a pretty good Understanding of the basics of the flow distribution characteristics at these various gauges Which brings me to the summary here So again SWAT is going to see these rivers if you want to think in terms of the size of the rivers that are going to Be measured it's again something draining around 2000 square kilometers The river discharge is a derived product That does require some fitting you're actually you get multiple versions of the river discharge But what I haven't really highlighted is we don't have all the studies done yet But base flow is probably going to be the best river discharge that we estimate based on the sampling characteristics that we're seeing So good estimates of base flow are pretty likely for these bigger rivers And then as well as the lakes and reservoirs We're going to see the storage change plus have the inflows and outflows of some of the bigger ones It's really going to help close the water budget for these systems Which again can tie back and help understand the groundwater system a little better Just the last plug if anyone's interested in using SWAT synthetic data, let me know we've got a program set up for early adopters


all right let's a pair of rewind wireless earbuds we're going to play talk about and we're not going to waste any time we're going to go straight to line one and we should be saying good morning to michael deveney and manor conningham good morning to you michael good morning how are you doing not so bad michael it says here you're relaxing at home this morning yes sounds like it sounds like my kind of morning any plans for the bank holiday weekend not really just there's an accident at home an accident at home you know are you like me this this new bank holiday in february it hasn't really it hasn't really entered the psyche properly it hasn't a lot of people are just like oh yeah we're getting along again but it's not really like a proper bank holiday yet is it not really no not really not really use you listen michael i want to give you a pair of wireless earbuds this morning all right but uh you have a job to do first so what i'm going to do is i have a list of random items here

You are very welcome and I am happy that today we host your country and really it is very important for us that is as far as I know the first time during modern Saudi years of our independence. So you are very welcome. Today we host your country, we have been invited when it was available time. Today about energy security, peace and here we are of course very cognizant of you and your government in the interest of peace and also the interest of the region. We already have a sort of strong relationship, we've been able to build by your eyes what you know in Ukraine. I think it's very important to have peace. Today we are fighting to have this meeting with you given a strong friendship between our two countries. The priority must be on peace and here we are of course very India to everyone and that this conflict especially has repercussions all around the world. You supported us in the fields of United Nations and I want to thank you.


Galaxy one, what if the Middle East war is aiming on dividing people by religion and propaganda, and two, to start war where they can destroy as much religion that they can? Yeah, 100% that's part of it, and it's backfiring on them from the Western world anyway, right? Look, any plans that the Western nations have that they're overtly coming out and saying, we're trying to do this or covertly trying to do whatever it is that they're trying to do, they're low IQ, red rats, they have everything that they have done in the last longer. Just look at the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, look at what they've done, right?  Economic devastation to our nations, right? Absolute destruction and it's accelerated in the last four years since Genocide Joe came into power, right?  So whatever they're trying to do is backfiring on them, they're trying to lower people believing in religion because you get rid of people, family, core structure, religion. Not that I'm with centralized religion, anyone that's been following the world, they know what I stand for, right? Decentralize everything, right? But what that's doing now is making people more religious. It's like C.S. Lewis' screwtape letters, right? C.S. Lewis' screwtape letters. If you've ever read that book, one thing that you realized was, because it's a senior devil talking to fiction, senior devil, some people say fiction, senior devil talking to a lower devil, senior demon talking to a lower demon, and the senior demon is explaining to the lower level demon that war is actually not good for acquiring souls and taking them to hell because during wars, people have faith in God, religion increases, right? So it's best, it's easier to corrupt people when there isn't war because they don't have that fear of death and all that jazz. That's not overhanging them. It's interesting. It's interesting.

I just got home from the grocery store, just brought all of the groceries in and before we jump into the grocery haul, I'm going to make myself a protein coffee. Now I shared this in Wednesday's What I Eatin' a Day, but I've added another something super special to my protein coffee and it has officially become my new, new favorite. This protein coffee is 35 grams of protein, four points on WW and right around 200 calories. It is such a great way to get in your coffee as well as a big boost of protein and I've been adding in this. Now I shared this with you guys quite a while ago in What I Eatin' a Day. This is from the brand Earth Echo and this is the Cacao Bliss Powder. I actually finished that entire bag. This is a brand new bag that I just opened up today. I have been loving this. I've been baking with this. I've been putting this in my yogurt and I've been loving it in my protein coffee. It's a great way to add a little extra bit of chocolate boost and all of the health benefits in Cacao Bliss. So this again is from Earth Echo Foods and this is the Cacao Bliss Powder. This is truly healthy chocolate. It helps activate your metabolism to burn stubborn fat, crush your cravings for sweets, maintain a healthy immune system function. It helps fight temporary inflammation related to exercise. This is one of the things I've really benefited from the Cacao Bliss. It supports a positive mood, improved digestion. It's keto and vegan friendly and it includes 10 powerful superfoods including raw cacao, turmeric, cinnamon, MCT powder, black pepper, monk fruit, coconut nectar, lukema, mesquite, and Himalayan salt all packed into one really healthy, tasty cacao powder. I have baked with it. I actually made these pumpkin chai bliss blondies. These were absolutely incredible. You can have a sweet treat in a really healthy way using the Earth Echo Cacao Bliss. So here is my 36 gram protein coffee packed with antioxidants, superfoods. It is so good. Absolutely delicious. I will link the Cacao Bliss down below with a special discount for you. I'll have everything else I use in my coffee as well for you and I'll even put the recipe on how I put this coffee together so if you wanna pick up the products and reference the recipe, it'll be in the description box. 10 out of 10, out of 10. So here is my grocery haul for the week. I had quite a big haul. I did go ahead and shop at my fry store which is a Kroger store. I got some new food finds and some really good deals so let me show you what I picked up. So the first thing is some natural creamy peanut butter. I needed a peanut butter for a recipe that was just the peanuts insult and that is exactly what is in this one. So I picked that up for a recipe and also we'll use it for snacks and toast as well. I'm going to be making a Troy's pasta salad. If you're curious what that recipe is, it is on my recipe website under Troy's pasta salad. It is not WW friendly. It's not low calorie. It's a macaroni salad but he asked for it this week and part of that recipe are olives. I decided to buy whole olives and chop them up myself because they're half the price of the already sliced ones. I needed some orange juice for a meal prep recipe actually for my lunch meal prep. I need a cubed or diced ham for Troy's pasta salad. Usually I buy diced but they were out so I went ahead and picked up cubed. I did stop by the meat section and found a couple of really good deals on reduced meat. So this is a pound of the organic which is great. Simple truth organic, 93-7 ground turkey. $3.82 and then I got the 99% for 4.75. So almost a dollar more and it's not even organic. It's because it's a leaner cut of turkey. So crazy how those prices shift. I did go ahead and pick up some more Simply Potatoes. This is my jam. I love it for breakfast. I make this really, really good breakfast bowl. I've actually shared it in several what I eat in a day videos. Love it. It's very filling, full of protein and I needed hash browns for that. I need a broccoli for a recipe so I went ahead and just picked up frozen broccoli. It's so much easier.  And it's this pepperoni pizza stacked mini pepper recipe that I saw. I'm really excited about it.  And then I needed beef broth for a recipe and I actually had a coupon that if I bought two I got a discount so I went ahead and picked two of the Simple Truth organic beef stock. I got these little mini caramel rice cakes. I eat rice cakes a lot pre and post workout or as part of a snack. It's a good fast acting carbohydrate. And I got something over in the deli section I'll show you for these little mini rice cakes. And then also I love, love, love to dip these in peanut butter. And then this big block of mild cheddar cheese is for Troy's pasta salad. I chopped this up into little teeny cubes and it goes into the salad. He also asked for some trisket so that he can have meat, cheese and crackers this week. And then I stopped by the reduced bakery section and I saw this little half raspberry white chocolate bun cake. It was only $3. So I picked that up for a sweet treat and then over in the regular bakery section I found these sugar cookies. They're just a little frosted sugar cookies. Those are Troy's favorite. He loves a good sugar cookie. So I picked those up. And then also in the reduced bakery section I got these little rolls. It was my boot camp girls night yesterday and I made little Hawaiian slider sandwiches. Put them in the oven, really, really delicious. So I got these little rolls for that. Picked up some more just plain fair life milk for myself and then a couple of gallons of skim milk for Troy. And then I have heard all about these on TikTok. I've seen them on YouTube. I've seen them on Instagram. These are the new goldfish crisps. So these are supposed to be, I guess, puffed goldfish kind of like the Cheez-It crispy ones, the really puffed Cheez-It. So we're gonna try these. We'll try these out in Wednesdays, what I eat in a day. They had cheddar, sour cream and salt and vinegar. I went ahead and got the sour cream and onion. You get 44 of them for 140 calories. So that's not a bad deal at all. So again, stay tuned for Wednesdays, what I eat in a day, we will try these out. I got two of my all-time favorite cottage cheese good culture. I've been making different recipes using cottage cheese. Plus I just love it as a high protein snack. So I picked up two. And then I got this little classic mixed M&Ms sharing size. It has regular M&Ms, peanut butter and peanut. I just wanted some kind of sweet treat, some kind of candy and this sounded really good. I usually have a couple and it just satisfies my sweet tooth. They were on sale, so I picked those up. And then I need cheese tortellini for a dinner recipe. You'll actually see that recipe in Wednesday's video. I couldn't find any good affordable refrigerated cheese tortellini. So I went ahead and picked up the frozen. And then for Tories meat, cheese and crackers, I picked up two options. So I got some little hard Italian salami already cut up into rounds. And then I got him a hillshire farm beef summer sausage as well. That way he has a couple of options for his meat, cheese and crackers. He also asked for soup. So they had a deal if you bought four cans, they were only $1.99 a can.  So they ended up being about $1.49 a can. The Pagresso brand. So I got the beef and vegetable, the beef pot roast and vegetable, and then two tomato. He loves tomato, soup and grilled cheese. And then this is what I found over in the deli section to pair with my little rice cakes. This is dark chocolate hummus. This was on sale for $1.62. I have tried the chocolate hummus from Trader Joe's and loved it. And I thought, how good would these to be paired together for a dessert or a snack? So I also asked for Hidden Valley Ranch. I have the Marzetti Light Ranch or Simply Ranch. He wanted just full blown ranch. So I picked that up for him. We have been eating a lot of salads lately. And then I have quite a bit of cheese. I got some Havarti cheese. This is for the sliders for my boot camp girls night. I got some mozzarella cheese or pizzeria style cheese with mozzarella and smoked provolone. This is for those little pepperoni pizza peppers.  So I went ahead and picked up the chef's blend, which is sharp cheddar, voodoo and asiago. I really like this thick cut shredded cheese. It's my favorite. And then Troy's pasta salad uses elbow macaroni. So I picked up a box. And then I needed some other canned goods for recipes. I actually needed a can of tomato sauce and then a large can of diced tomatoes. I did have a coupon if I bought three small cans from the Simple Truth Organic brand. So I just went ahead and got two small cans to equal one big can. And I ended up saving a little bit of money that way. So I also asked for a restock on cereal. So he wanted the fiber one with honey. And then I did get him two boxes of the Kashi Go toasted berry. Yeah, toasted berry crisp. These are just tiny boxes, although they're $5 apiece. They're tiny boxes. So I picked him up two. I did get this Caesar salad kit. It actually already has the chicken in it. I'm going to have this for lunch today. You know what's interesting though, it only has nine grams of protein. So I'm not sure if that's purse serving. I think what I'm going to do is have all the chicken on my salad and hopefully at least double that. But it comes with the dressing, the cheese, the lettuce, everything. It was on sale for $2.70. I did get the little mini sweet peppers. These are for that pepperoni pizza pepper recipe. Again, you'll see that in Wednesday's what I eat in a day. They had their little packs of blackberries for 99 cents. That's a killer deal. So I picked up two and then they had their blueberries on sale, the big container for $2.88. And I need a berry for my meal prep. I was going to do raspberries, but since these were on sale, we're going to now do blueberry. You'll see all of my dinner plans and what's in Monday's meal prep right after the grocery haul. So I picked up some blueberries, also some bananas for a recipe and for snacking. I needed an orange for my lunch meal prep, a yellow onion for a dinner recipe. And then I needed green onions and radishes for Troy's pasta salad. And then I did grab a couple of these little snack trays. They have broccoli, carrot, celery and ranch. They were $1.21.  You know Troy loves his veggies and dips. So I'm sure these will be gone within a day or so. And then I also picked up three 12 packs of Diet Coke for Troy. So that is everything in this week's grocery haul. Let's jump into what's for dinner and what you'll see in Monday's meal prep. Here is what is on my menu for the week. My girl's night was actually last night. So tonight we're just going to have leftovers. Tomorrow I'm going to make tacos. And then Monday I'm making a meatball soup with cheese tortellini. You will actually see that recipe in Wednesday's what I eat in a day, Tuesday's leftovers. Wednesday we're going to do a salad night. And then Thursday and Friday we'll do leftovers as well. Here is what you'll be seeing in Monday's meal prep. So for breakfast this week I'm going to be making banana protein muffins. I'm actually really excited for this. For lunch we're going to do an orange chicken style meal prep. And then for a snack or dessert I was going to do raspberry opars. Now I'm going to do blueberry opars since blueberries were such a good price this week. So stay tuned for all three recipes on Monday. Do you want to say goodbye to everyone? Say thank you for watching the grocery haul. Thank you for watching. Thank you for joining me for this week's grocery haul. I hope you enjoyed seeing everything I picked up for the week.

This is conference on running a full-day workshop on advanced deployment pipeline techniques for continuous delivery. The idea of a deployment pipeline is to build any effects and automated mechanism that evaluates our changes and make sure that they're ready for production and does that quickly and efficiently and gives us great feedback and great insight. This is a complicated thing to do at scale and it's a complicated thing to do in a variety of different circumstances. So there are lots of nuances about the building deployment pipelines effectively. The simple case is relatively straightforward to understand, but how do you do this where you've got bigger more complicated software? How do you do this with legacy software? How do you scale this up? What are the patterns that work at doing this in more complicated scenarios? What about if you've got hardware? What about if you've got regulatory concerns? My day-long workshop will be exploring all of these ideas to some extent. It will be largely focused on technologists and technical leaders who need to think on these sorts of scales and how to do a better job of managing the development process for soft-rearing sometimes more complicated settings.
