Okay, good morning everybody. Good to be here. I hope all of you all are doing well. Had a good night rest for all of us who are at this part of the world and those in the rest waiting to have your rest too. I hope everyone's okay. We have a lean class today. Okay, and welcome to the learning students as well. Thank you for staying abreast with the course. Hope you are being just as blessed as we have been learning through very many different things in Christian counseling. So today we are, if we remember the last week, we're at week 13 of our class. And last week we had started on specifically different issues or special issues that we handle in counseling. And we're going to be continuing with that topic for the next few classes. We did so would like would somebody like to share what we did last week. What what were the two topics that we quickly looked into on how counselors can can help and what are the areas that counselors can help. Yes, anybody would someone like to share what we did yesterday for the last week for the benefit of those who are not able to come. Okay, memory lag. Can I call out somebody's name? So it's not to get you all to go away, but just so that there is some noise in the classroom. Who'd like to whose whose name shall I call? Kennedy or anybody else anybody else kishan anyone would like to. If you all did attend last week's class. Yes, yes, please go ahead. Thank you. You're the savior of every class. Have my notes with me so it's initiating action and it is implement plans and achieve goals for that we will develop strategy that is to think choose best fit strategy that is plan and formulate viable plans that is to manage. So we learned about bringing up possible strategies by identifying and choosing a course of action, then plan of action to reach the preferred stage.  And then you suggest further. So, we help to find them a strategy to choose and follow. We also learned about strategy should be specific substantive, substantive, realistic in keeping with counseling value. So, this is what I've written so strategy should be realistic keeping up with the values of the counseling. And as we have we need to end list support. And then you gave some examples that if they have a poor social life we need and they need support we have to identify that. Who do you have to extend support whom you can suggest them to have an extended support helping them to work together in this as a counselor. Tap into their resources and help the counselor counseling choose best fit strategies resources personality values. And then we you gave a counseling model, where you were talking about attending responding personalizing and initiating. So we learned about the counseling model. Thank you. Thank you have any excellent good she just took you through that entire class so well thank you. Thank you. All right, anybody remembers what we did in the second hour I actually forgot that we did that up me thank you for reminding me. Yeah, so what did we do in the second hour. We did on special issues and counseling which were the two issues at least we, we looked into two issues we looked into two issues. Okay, if you can put it up on the chat that's also fine. If you don't want to unmute and speak you can at least put it up on the chat. Oh no. I got a question whether I was who I was talking to last week. We spoke about mental health. Yes rings a bell. Okay. Yes, mental health and we spoke about marriage family issues specifically to do with marriage and issues with children. We had a quickly brush through that last week. All right, so I won't waste any time. And we're going to go on to the next issues of counseling the abused. And if you're following with me on the book, you can follow through on page 45, 45, there will be a little additional things also that we're going to be talking about. Again, this is just for you all to understand and know a little bit more, but whatever is on the notes is sufficient for your knowledge and your understanding as, as beginners and as lay counselors. Okay, so we're going to be looking at counseling the abused. So, when we look at the word abuse, what, what do you think what comes to your mind first when, when you hear the word abuse. What comes to your mind and if you, if you feel you can bring about some kind of a definition or what an understanding of abuses that's also fine. What would you say, what comes to your mind when you think of abuse. It could be a situation, it could be some, okay, someone who's mistreated. Okay, Samuel said someone who's mistreated.  Okay, everybody wake up from slumber please. Everybody do a bit of arm exercises. Okay, so that you can stay awake. Abused is, sorry, what do you mean by abused Samuel. I think you answered. Yeah. So Christopher says violated Kennedy says misuse and Abina says treated badly. Okay. All right. So I think we've kind of got the flow of what, what abuse means.  You know, something, some things that you do or a level of engagement that, that, that begins to that, that, that does not allow one to use something for its purpose.  Now abuse is, is a condition that can cause very significant and deep levels of mental and emotional trauma. And abuse affects many people at, at a, at a very core level. And those who may be abused begin to see the world as, as they have been treated. Okay, so abuse is any kind of a behavior or any kind of an engagement that makes use or not makes use or misuses. Abuse, somebody's will, somebody's body, somebody's safety, okay, with, without their consent. Okay. Now this, what happens with abuse abuse, like we said, when someone is faced with abuse, they begin to see the world from an abused image. And that begins to lower their form of how the person begins to see themselves begins to see the world, even the ability to trust that which is on the outside. So an abusive relationship can happen at different stages of life, or it can happen at any point of life, especially within relationships, it can happen during childhood, it can happen during teenagers, it can happen during marriage, it can happen during midlife, it can happen during old age. So abuse is when somebody misuses their power and control over somebody else, or without their consent, and of course uses force or manipulation. Something that we see of abuse is that it is often hidden for many years as you go in life. So to understand what abuse is, we're going to look through a couple of examples of abuse. But before we go through that, I just want to bring about that verse, which is in your notes on Isaiah 520 to 21. It says, what are those who call evil good and good evil, who substitute darkness for light and light for darkness, who substitute bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter, what are those who are wise in their own eyes and clever in their own sight. So this is something that helps us see that a lot of people who are perpetrators of abuse feel justified or feel right in what they're doing in order to bring correction. But scripture does call it war, that it is definitely something that brings about judgment and that brings about pain if there isn't repentance. So it's not in the will of God that anyone should abuse another, whatever the reason may be, to bring somebody else under their power and under their control. Now we look at a couple of examples, but nevertheless what we are looking at is any kind of an abusive behavior can have a significant impact on one's emotional health, on their well-being, as well as how they view God spiritually. Not only at the time of the abuse, but also these impacts can have lasting effects throughout a person's life if these aren't dealt with or if they aren't healed or if they aren't processed. And that's why it's important for us to really look at it. So we're going to explore the different types of abuse. We look at the signs of abuse and in some way how counseling can really provide valuable support. So abuse can come in many forms and you need to be aware of what to look out for when you're recognizing some of these types of abuse. So let's look at the first one which is physical abuse and this kind of abuse is often related to violence. It's causing intentional harm or injury to another person through violence or through physical assaults. Now this physical assaults or physical abuse can include these various aspects, but it's not limited to this. There can be hitting, beating, pushing, scratching, burning, choking, throwing objects at somebody, biting. Now if you look at all of this again, it can be in various forms, in various intents, in various levels. But any of this that exerts power and control over somebody else is what is called physical violence or physical injury. Now physical injury, physical violence or physical abuse is not the only impact. The injury that comes from the physical abuse is not the only impact that comes. The victims often can feel a lot of shame, a lot of guilt over what is happening to them and they begin to tend to hide it from people outside. They're apart from guilt and shame and embarrassment. There can also be fear that actually limits or stops people from getting help and from reaching out and they are often also unable to articulate and bring about what's happening. And because of this, we do see often that a lot of times physical abuse generally goes unreported. People do not report this abuse. The times that especially, we've often seen when victims do not open up or do not reach out, it is generally found from let's say a help support system. Maybe because of the kind of physical abuse, generally if they were to go to a hospital or to a medical center, they would cover up the injury of saying that they got hurt or they had an accident. But often we find that a lot of medical institutions or the medical clinics are the one that actually report this kind of an abuse rather than a victim does report such an issue. Physical abuse is commonly seen among in marriages. It's seen in the elderly. It's also seen between parent and child. And of course, physical abuse, you may also find it in other adult relationships like the adult siblings, adult parents, and children, so all of that also is present in this condition. We'll go to the next one. The next one that we see is sexual abuse.  Usually the age gap that we look for a child is 18 years. And when you're looking at this, it is usually without the consent of the other person that that becomes sexual abuse.  Rape also follows in this. But when we look at sexual abuse, we're actually looking at for those who are younger, the others would be sexual assaults, especially if there is rape or conditions like that that occur to an adult without their consent.  Now, this is sex.  And usually children and teens aren't the one who are able to give consent because of their primitive understanding and maybe knowledge of the interaction of the engagement itself.   There is a range of it. Okay, so it can range from unwanted touching to to to photographing to being pressured to have a sexual act without consent. Okay, often we do see that many victims who do have who have been abused sexually will generally know the abuser. They often could be a relative. It could be a teacher or some form of a friend or someone associated with the family or the environment that the school is where the child is in. A common misconception is that only men can be can be abusers or can be the perpetrators and only girls can be abused. Now that isn't true. Actually, if you look at statistics and studies, there are, in fact, a higher number of boys who are abused. And a lot of that goes unreported because of the fact that, you know, sometimes because of the kind of stigma that it creates, generally, children may not open up or may not discuss about it, but more so among boys because of the social image of needing to be a man to bear up whatever comes to them. So that in itself keeps them away from really reporting that. So anybody can be a victim of sexual abuse and any anybody whether it's men or women can also be perpetrators. So the, so the what we do help and discuss with with families or with with children is that no one and and and I will come to that a little bit later should not be allowed to the child should allow anyone to touch them inappropriately at all and they should be empowered to do so. Okay. We, there are other conditions also sexual abuse, we also look at, you know, especially if family members abuses one another that's also called sexual abuse and it's often called incest.  I'll just go through these, these lists and then maybe come back and discuss some more, some more things with regard to this. The next we're going to be looking at is emotional abuse. And this is something that can often be very difficult to identify. Because there aren't any outward signs of the abuse in a physical abuse, you will find physical, you will find marks or any forms of injuries in injuries sexual abuse can be detected, especially if there is a sexual act that follows. However, in emotional abuse, there is there is no signs as no, no indications that the abuse has happened. And emotional abuse is usually seen or, you know, you define it as one where there is when, when again, this this is also a place where they gain power over the other through, however, this is through words and through gestures or through phrases and remarks. So when we look at emotional abuse, we can say that it can fall under couple of categories. Okay, and we look at three main categories, where one is emotional abuse being aggressive, where there is name calling, where there is accusations, where there is blaming threats, or criticism that is extremely destructive. So that can be aggressive form of abuse. The next would be denial, denying that in this it includes whether is neglect, there isn't this withholding of affection, there isn't any form of affection that is shown manipulation where situations and instances are manipulated. The third one is minimizing. This is what we what you include is what is included in is really insulting or or belittling the person's feelings or thoughts, or isolating and keeping them away, you know, when they are to respond, or when they are to ask for affection, accusing them of exaggerating their need. Okay, so it's so these three so it's aggressive, it's denying and it is minimizing. What is important to remember is that that there can be conflicts and arguments that happen between people and arguments and conflicts and even even criticisms that come are ways of interacting with others. But the difference between this two, like when you are interacting probably when you're having a fight with somebody, you may have some criticism or some things that you may say the clear difference between this and the emotional abuse is the way it makes one continuously feel. Okay, now, even if there isn't reconciliation, there isn't repentance from the perpetrator, it continues to make the victim feel extremely beaten down. They can they can feel a significant lack of self esteem and the lack of confidence. So, although there are those other forms of it, remember that that these are things that that differentiate the way that it makes the person feel, you know, on a continuous level. So, examples of this is examples of emotional abuse is being ignored, taunting, insulting, yelling, blaming, threatening, labeling. These are all different forms of emotional abuse. Okay, I want to add one more thing over here, which is not put up over here, but there is something that we also call is financial abuse. Financial abuse is when any form of financial information is withheld from. Usually these happen in dependent relationships, especially between couples and married couples, where there is withholding of financial information, so much so that it creates a sense of dependency, and, you know, in a sense of control and power and without without information without, you know, free access to finances, the other person is held in in captivity so much so that they cannot make independent decisions or do things independently, because there is a withholding of financial information or even access to finance financial money, money or wealth. Okay, so apart from that, there's one more that we will look into is neglect, neglect is again, very something that is difficult to identify, and because again, there aren't any signs of it. So, and this often occurs when, when there is a withdrawal of any kind of basic needs like food, housing, clothing, care, supervision, all of that where where it is, it is denied, or that there isn't a place that these these opportunities are even given.  So, neglect does not mean that if you don't give a child something that they want, you know, like they're asking for, for maybe a computer or a cell phone, and you don't give them that doesn't mean neglect, neglect specifically means not giving them the basic needs of their life which is needed for survival, not just for physical survival, but emotional survival that would mean physical survival is food, clothing, shelter, you know, education, also to some degree, and the emotional needs being lab safety security significance right so these are that again forms neglect. Okay, so I'm just going to stop here before I get into the next part of what is it that you can, what kind, what are the effects that that takes place as a result of these abuse but just quickly any questions on this. I haven't put the slide Christopher there's no slide. Okay, any questions on this. Okay, I guess not. All right, so we'll, we'll look at what are some of the effects that that happen when, when people are in an abusive relationship. So, one thing that we commonly see in most of these psychological effects also are emotional in nature. Okay, you would see anxiety as something that's very common among people who are abused. Those who've suffered abuse may develop these anxiety or fear of the situations that remind them of their abuse experiences. Like, I have, I have a person who, you know, a young woman, and has extreme forms of anxiety that at any point of time, she hears loud noises, or people talking in in a certain high pitch voices. Immediately, she breaks out into a panic attack because of the memories of what she has had in her past with with abuse being significant in her childhood. Alongside with anxiety, there can be issues with sleep, panic attacks, panic attacks again are very common. Common psychological effects that you can see in those who survive abuse that panic attacks are those who have intense anxiety, a feeling of being choked and feeling of having, having, you know, a death near death experience, and and a sense of heightened physiological, you know, mayhem that happens that creates creates a sense of, you know, as of losing control of themselves. So anxiety is one that is commonly seen. The other issue that you see is anger. Survivors of abuse can often develop anger at being abused. And, you know, the some when the situation gets worse, they get angry at themselves for beginning for being abused and it's it may it is necessary that you know that is when when they seek help to be able to manage their anger in a constructive way because otherwise what happens is this anger becomes manifested in their further relationships. And they begin to throw out their anger when frustrated and usually anger comes out in the most destructive way. So helping people who have the psychological impact of anger is best is to help them to deal with the dinner constructive way. The next effect that you would see is sadness to depression. We do see that a lot of survivors experience clinical depression with the feelings of sadness and loneliness, emptiness, because of which they aren't able to enjoy live state today activities, a sense and with the depression comes a lack of self esteem, a poor hit on the confidence inability to really experience joy in things of life because of the issues of the past. There can be mood issues, mood swings mood swings is a very common effect of abuse again, moving from irritability to to a depressive phase and having these swings can be something that is seen significantly other other psychological effects is something that we call as a post traumatic stress disorder, which is called a PTSD. And these are flashbacks, nightmares or, you know, common going back to those instances and reliving those instances and feeling a sense of significant stress. Despite it being over despite it, it having passed these nightmares and flashbacks do come to to almost, you know, oppress a person with who has been abused. Survivors of abuse can also develop addictions, like drugs, alcohol dependence, where they begin to, you know, these these can be destructive coping mechanisms, because of their inability to emotionally feel whole and feel strengthened. They choose to cope with with substances or with with alcohol. There can also be self destructive behavior, where they begin to inflict injury or not injury but but mild harm on themselves.  So having destructive behaviors when it comes to their self, their hygiene, their career, their relationships, their money. So it all comes to a place of being extremely self destructive. Now these are the most common psychological issues that you would see in in people who have gone through abuse. Okay. Again, I'm stopping here. Any any doubts any questions on this. Just just to probably check with you all.  Or am I talking Greek and Latin? Yes. Okay. Okay. Yes. Yes, I think. Yes, Shay. Yes. I would like to ask a question. So the teenagers at my church, when asked if they emotionally abused, they see it when their parents compare them frequently, which is kind of like a norm for Africans, particularly my particularly my Oh, okay. So we're not alone. No, no, no, you're not. Okay. So the teenagers feel like they are emotionally abused. And to me, honest, I think I concur with them. But I just want to clarify here now that we're talking about this, do we term that as emotional, emotional abuse if a child is constantly being compared to maybe his or a sibling or someone who is doing well at school or doing well in sports or something or in character. Is that can you categorize that as emotional abuse? So if you look at it in the in the diagnostic term comparisons isn't put under specifically under abuse, it doesn't come under it. But it is definitely a destructive pattern. It's not something that enhances the growth of a child. So, although it isn't clinically put comparison isn't clinically put that kind of a behavior is not acceptable also so even when you're having parent child sessions or parent child workshops that's one huge point where we where we do mention where we bring about any forms of comparison is is not right is can be very detrimental to the confidence of a child although it is not clinically termed in as that, but that is a destructive pattern of parenting also say. Okay, is that. Thank you for clarification. Thank you. Anybody else has any observations or what you have noticed what you have seen or questions on what can be abused what what is not abuse. In marriages, I have been not talking to few women are who are going through this and so when you're teaching like I am able to identify like what exactly they are going through and you know how difficult it is for them to deal with it. Right. Right. Yeah. Yeah, and I think after this after I take up Christopher's question I would want to ask you all as to when people do come up and share and I'm sure people have spoken to y'all in some way or the other or you've heard from third parties about it. How would what are general ways that we tend to respond and you know I just want to hear that before we move into the next section. Yes Christopher go ahead. Yes, my question is actually more of a general question, you know around this scores and you know, our, you know, our capabilities and abilities to you know to provide a, you know, effective question counseling.  And now we are going into some some areas that that may require counseling and areas where you know we could we could play a part in providing that that level of counseling. So my question is really about, you know, the knowledge that we have from this course.  So, not sure that those could be could be provided to us in some form or the other or whether the notes itself can get revised and you know the summary slides and be inserted in specific places. So that is just on the on the knowledge side. On the knowledge versus practice, I think, you know, I think if it was if it was not an online course, I think we probably would have been able to practice more. And I can do a little bit of work play and, you know, do some border, you know, practical, you know, work on the subject. And I think where I'm coming from is actually around the boundaries where particularly early stages of you know, providing Christian counseling. We do coming from a very Christian foundation and, you know, references to the Bible, and where we will be, you know, we will go back and you know, we will get strength and also to be able to provide more effective for counseling. But I think the boundaries where I'm talking about is particularly in these areas because I think now we're getting into, you know, areas of mental health. We're talking about abuse in different forms. And, you know, we're still going to be some of these other topics that you're going to cover, which are, you know, around suicide and this bound these boundaries where we possibly need to be aware of where where we can really, you know, provide effective counseling, versus really kind of stepping back and you know, trying to provide more provide that person who is who's coming to us more professional help. Because, again, I'm not sure of the, you know, how much of counseling people have done or how they know whether there's been any professional courses that any of the other students have done, but I haven't done anything like this before. And particularly when we're talking about, you know, you're trying to help someone, but you know, this is getting into an area into areas where it can be quite, I think there are risks involved in a suicide and even mental health, say the wrong things and, you know, set up a whole chain of, and I see actions and events that could possibly happen. And that's where I'm coming from. Maybe, you know, something that you could cover in towards the end of the class. You know, what are the next steps?   So that's, that's an excellent question. And, and I think I just want to also put certain objectives as to why, you know, these things are included in here is one is to really build awareness among ministers and also maybe at this point of time, you know, you know, beginners in this very field. So one is just to build awareness and know that there is a lot of things that happen around, which we may be blind to or which we may see and which we may choose to ignore. But I think your involvement comes in a couple of areas is one definitely, definitely that you may not be able to take on someone who's maybe coming. Someone who's abused or someone probably who's suicidal into long term help and long term counseling. That's something it is important for you to understand when is the right time that they seek help from somebody who is more experienced in that level and in that field. Okay. But where does your support come from is to know that anyone in who's coming or who's who has a background of anything for that matter abuse mental health, marital issues, grief, suicidal thoughts, depressive symptoms, all require some emotional support and emotional support of some kind. And so what you're doing or what you're learning through this course is when someone brings up an issue to you or you notice something or someone has said something or in your spirit you do sense that somebody is going through something. It is to be in a place of active support system. Okay, where you're able to step in and be that support network that they can lean on to. Like I said, because a lot of times people may not be comfortable talking about their issues to their own loved ones and they're seeking for support and help so you could be the bridge or the person in between their next person to help. So you may not even be in a place of knowing how to help, but it is beneficial that they find a space where they can begin to share or begin to just feel a sense of safety to share what has happened. And, you know, maybe all that you can do is to support and to pray and to hold them in. But there is it where that that's that's your part that you can play and pointing them out to a place where they they can help and being and being in that place. As their accountable partner who sees them through that help or you know ensures that they go in to get that help or ensures that they they get the whatever support system that they need, rather than having to have them work alongside. Now, so you may say, why should I go through this entire course to be a support because even the way that you respond, you know, even some things that you say to them can of course can definitely lead them to a place of feeling confident that you are there by their side. And with their best interest in mind, even when you are just being a support system so I'd say this entire course not just helps you build awareness but also gives you a way to respond and helps you to react and respond judiciously, sensitively, and also wisely when someone is coming and share sharing with you and also to point them out into a right place where they can seek help. So, even when people do come to me if there are certain issues that I don't have experience with, I'm maybe there is a sounding board but I do this thing of you know, getting out a list of people that they can seek help from and moving them on to that phase and then just ensuring that somebody is that I'm there and I'm just going to hold them accountable to something like to that process of it. So that's as best as you can do. So if you all do feel so under equipped, it's a good thing to stand as a support system and to be able to show them or point them to the right door, point them to the right person that they can get help from. Okay, so that's that in itself is very significant because when people are you will find among the population, you will find at least a good 50 to 60% who are walking through different phases in abuse, and not really bringing it out. So just having a person to warm up to, or to just say, hey, you know, I noticed that you have a scar on your face. And that concerns me is everything okay, you know, even to probably ask that question. That's enough for an opening or to say, you know, I've seen that you've been quite low in the last couple of couple of weeks and or you've not attended class for the last week what happened that is in itself enough to have them bridge something with you. Okay, and so to equip you to be able to be sensitive and to be wise in the way that you interact and, you know, work alongside with them in whatever way that you can in the capacities that you can because I think that in itself is foundational to their next step, but someone has accepted or heard whatever they've gone through and then they can move into the next step. Okay. Yes, Anita, I think you have a question. Yes ma'am, I actually wanted to share my experience in the same like what you explained to us in that same thing. Like what you said is like I have observed like almost two couples where one partner is emotionally abused. Like, and it is like most of the ladies, they are the ladies who are like, and the husbands are sometimes they pay click like it was, it's a very rare case where we see that husbands behave like they are, you know, they are very, they are undervalued they have not been given importance and like for like for a child, if we don't give them importance, they start throwing the tantrums. And like that, like they are craving for the wives to ask them in every decision and everything without asking them it should not be done or money should not be even spent without their knowledge, though they are earning they are financially independent, but still they are they don't have that choice. And still like whenever they are doing anything apart from husbands like at at home and and they're not like paying attention to whatever he's saying like whatever interest he has in that if they don't show interest, they just bust like I've seen the couples like where they don't want to give their like for both of us like as a husband and wife when we are joined like whenever my husband is interested, I should show interest in there. And whenever I am interested in anything, he also should get involved a little bit, not to the core but a little bit just to understand what is her liking like that. But I've seen this couples where the wives are expected to so highly to take care of the household, to take care of the children even financially also. They are learns means they have done their whole of their life and they are really like, I have sometimes they are broke down emotionally sometimes very hardly even I keep myself in that place, I would have thought that I would have divorced, I would have I would have left that relationship something I would have done. But these ladies, they have stayed there, they made it fully successful look like to the society that their families are really successful in everything in every manner they are the ideal family, like that and I have been in that place to listen to them, like what what has hurt them, and what like what trauma they are going mentally I couldn't do anything, but I could just listen to them and just like console like just show them yes I can understand what you're going through. That's it. That's what I wanted to share. Thank you. Thank you, Anita for sharing. Yeah, yeah, so yeah, different forms of abuse. I know we've been talking about maybe some experiences here and you know, all of us will have some thoughts or some knowledge of what abuse is and how we have, you know, how it has damaged or been a part of that that sense of sadness. And depression or, you know, kind of an oppressive tendencies that may come up as a result of these these evil wicked ways of interactions. Okay, we'll stop for for a break and we will return back it's 1055 on my clock, we will be back at 11 five to continue on with the same topic.

With our STM MCU finder tool, you can easily select from our extensive offerings of MCUs and our offering of development boards by filtering and comparing with the click of a button. This tool is accessible with both PC and mobile while also compatible across different operating systems. Application development can be a tedious yet daunting task. But with our STM32 KubeMX tool, we aim to make your development journey a little bit easier. With STM32 KubeMX, you can do most of your applications configurations through a GUI. These configurations include but are not limited to pinouts, clock and oscillator selection, peripherals, and middleware. Other benefits of starting your project with KubeMX are that it helps you generate the necessary initialization code. It aids your development process by finding and providing resolutions for conflicts in pin mapping or clock configuration and can easily generate a project simply by the click of a button using any of our supported IDEs. The STM32 Q programmer is an all-in-one software tool for programming STM32 products. It provides users with the capability to easily erase, read, write, and verify the contents of device memory. Furthermore, with the click of a button, users can configure option bytes. This tool can also be used to update the STLink firmware on STM32 products, is delivered in both graphical user interface and command line interface versions, and supports a multitude of OS interfaces. As mentioned earlier in the presentation, STM32 KubeMX, our cogeneration graphical user interface, supports three different compiler options. STM32 Kube IDE, our in-house free development tool for cogeneration based on an Eclipse front-end and GNU compiler, Kyle, and certainly, last but not least, IAR. To go along with every STM32 product family, a product-specific Kube library is available. Our STM32 Kube libraries are embedded software packages that include all sorts of low-level drivers, a wide range of examples showing you how to use available peripherals, and several plug-and-play application demonstrations. These Kube libraries can be found and downloaded on st.com. In addition to our Kube library offerings, we also have a wide range of expansion packs available. In these expansion packs, you will find several plug-and-play examples, including but are not limited to the realm of TouchGFX, SBSFU, USB PD, and Azure RTOS. In total, there are three flavors of expansion packs available. Function packs, which include advanced application project and libraries, X-Kube packages, expansion packs developed and maintained in-house, and IQ packages expansion packs developed and maintained by our third-party partners. The STM32 Kube Monitor tool helps to fine-tune and diagnose STM32 applications at runtime through reading and visualizing variables in real-time. Currently, there are a total of four tools in this family. STM32 Kube Monitor and three specialized versions. STM32 Kube Monitor power, STM32 Kube Monitor RF, and STM32 Kube Monitor UCPD. Thank you for watching. We hope that you enjoyed this introduction to our STM32 series. See you next time.


Germany has delivered additional six Biber bridge layer tanks to Ukraine. Besides, Ukraine received from Germany Zetros trucks, camouflage nets and first aid kits. The list of assistance provided to Ukraine was updated on the German government's website. It is said that Germany has delivered to Ukraine six additional Biber bridge laying tanks. Eight Zetros trucks, twenty thousand first aid kits, ten winter camouflage nets, Zetros trucks are manufactured Daimler AG. They are designed to work in extreme off-road conditions. The truck has a layout that provides quick access to the engine for its repair and better stability of the vehicle. Zetros are used in the energy and oil production sectors in construction, rescue operations and for the transportation of passengers and goods in extreme conditions. The truck can be converted into a tow truck, crane, cradle, mobile generator, dump truck, fuel truck, etc. In July 2022 the German government announced that it would transfer 16 Biber bridge laying tanks to Ukraine. As of now, nine of them have been transferred. The Biber is a bridge laying tank that carries and deploys cross river bridges, anti-tank ditches and other obstacles. A total of 105 of these vehicles were built for the German military. Australia, Canada, the Netherlands and Italy are also operating this equipment. Biber is based on the Leopard 1 tank chassis. It is equipped with a bridge construction system instead of a turret. The bridge is laid horizontally and the main advantage of this design is invisibility to the enemy. The bridge has an aluminium structure and consists of two sections of 11 metres each. The total length is 22 metres and can cover an obstacle 20 metres long. The bridge is laid within three minutes. In a transportation mode, the sections are moved over each other. The vehicle's crew consists of two people, the driver and the commander. The published list of assistance also indicates that 300,000 Jeopard SPAAG ammunition are expected to be transferred to Ukraine. In mid-February, the Rheinmetall Concern announced the start of 35mm ammunition production. Currently, Ukraine uses 32 Jeopard SPAAGs and the transfer of five more guns is expected.


Brought to you by DIS keeping companies connected with cloud-based solutions. Come on, City! Stuart, can I start by getting your reaction to the news that's come through in the last hour or so about the agreement with the Premier League and their rescue package for the EFL, specifically £250,000 at the very least for Bradford City Football Club. Your thoughts on that? Yeah, I'm just in off the training ground so I don't know it in depth. I mean, is that a loan or is it a... A grant? A grant, okay. Listen, at this time every penny's needed so, and actually it's good news and yeah, that's a positive... because nobody wants to see... I think we're in an okay position so we've saved a little bit and we're ready to go in January and that does... actually it helps every club and you know, when people are saying a week, two weeks ago that 10 teams will go to the wall if we don't get any help soon, then obviously it'll help them clubs as well and help everyone so obviously it's a positive, yeah. Yeah, and more generally steps closer towards normality I suppose when we see fans back inside grounds last night as well of course only 2000 and proportionately but it just feels like the picture's becoming a little clearer. Well, yeah, I was at Cal-L last night and it seemed to be more than 2000 in ground, that's for sure but I think on two points on that it's a bit normality.  I mean I don't think 2000 in Anfield or West Dam is going to create any atmosphere but certainly last night and I would never say we shouldn't let fans in but it certainly is an advantage and a big, big advantage to our supporters in your ground because you know in the first minute of the game the ball's going down the line, there's a nudge, nothing in it, there's a group raw referee, gives a free kick to Cal-L, but to nothing away from Cal-L they were lively, they got the crowd going, the crowd mixed with them and it was a good atmosphere for their point of view, something that I'm envious of if I'm honest. I think just looking back to our game the other night and I watched it back and at the time I thought it was probably a shout for a penalty there but when the boy goes into the back of Clare and I've no doubt if we had funds in the ground it's only natural reaction from the referee, if people shout, you know, referee, when they're 50-50. So there is an advantage certainly but it's obviously a positive, it can be a level playing field for all clubs, especially our level because 2000 and a bit over in Cal-L still had a good little atmosphere. I hear they were cheering backpassers to the goalkeeper and the like in that game, I mean just what was it like for you as an on-viewer to have that atmosphere around you? Yeah well I was stuck right in the corner in the main stand with a lot of supporters round and trying to do me notes and stuff like that but yeah it was a feeling of being at a proper game and you know but there's no doubt you know the players got a huge lift from it. Having said that as I said you know Cal-L were very good from the first minute and got the crowd lifted as well. If they had been flat maybe the crowd had been flat but it worked you know you get a corner or a free cake or a long throw in which they've got then the crowd are right behind them they get a good applause coming off, a good applause back on a pitch. It certainly makes a difference to you definitely. He used the word envy so I was going to ask you how you feel as a manager of a football club who is currently still in tier three until that is decided otherwise. Is it an overwhelming feeling of envy really that you can't have that at valet parade? Yeah, yeah of course it is yeah. I mean again in our what's the name it holds 25,000 but even a thousand just a little bit of noise and a bit of you know if you get a corner or a clap or whatever it may be and get behind the lads that are out there would you know but yeah it's good in the main naturally that listen over watching Cambridge you know if it was the owner this morning saying it's costing them money to open up last night they've got to have double the stewards for half the people the people that come in are already season ticket holders so they're actually losing money but you know every football club I'm sure would take that little bit of a hit to get fans back into the stadium naturally just to give them a help and as I said last night I mean said that Cambridge has got beat home to Mansfield so it's not giving me to get fans back in you start winning games but from my experience last night yeah it certainly helped Carl Isle and you know the money to the victory and you know should have won by a lot more to be honest. So having been at the game then what did you make of Carl Isle as a team and in particularly in their own performance against Salford? Yeah well they were up, Kenny went up on Sunday I watched the game in the cup against Doncaster that's what I did in the top six and deservedly showed we've got a lot of energy vibrancy playing with confidence yeah so they were good there's no doubt about that but you know it's our we just concentrate on ourselves on Saturday mate I put the best most competitive team we can out on the park but yeah they're carrying threats and ex-players Amari Patrick was very good, Danny Devine played last night and did a steady job Joe Rather came on last week, Callum Guy was playing a lot of energy there so we've got a few ex-city players in the round so no doubt want to come down and do well here When you say you want to set up competitively how are you numbers wise is the situation any better at all than it was previously? Just exactly same, same group that we had the other night same squad, we've only had seven training today the rest of the boys we've got to be careful even in training you know they take any more knocks but the lads who played on Tuesday had a recovery, a strength session so we had seven of the boys out training today but that's you know that's what it is I mean the one thing there's no more injuries from the weekend or the other game so that's a positive but no do return as yet unfortunately Certainly a positive for Bryce I imagine because there was a worry wasn't there at first Yeah, yeah he's okay, the little knocky it was mainly you know we've got a steady aim in with his hamstring same with Cookie, with his injury but we've just had the physios in there that's Cookie now at 16-70, Bryce is up although Bryce does do a lot of high intensity running you know it'll be hopefully going into the game that we don't have to, we haven't got a set of stall out knowing Bryce has to come off after an hour of Cookie because you bring in you know two lads who are influential to your team and you know when you're having to do that is challenging as well especially if they're both playing well but as I said the experience we've had with Ellie, with Reece Stone and with Evo, with other people we've got to stick to the signs You gave us a flicker of optimism after Tuesday's game when asked about Lee Novak and the potential of he may be being able to get it on the bench, what are your thoughts now over a couple more days to reflect on that situation? Again, probably too much of a gamble if we're honest for 20 minutes and as much as I say to the physio it will only be 20 minutes, well then you get injury time 25 minutes, whatever you sat there and you've got Novak on your bench and you want him to get him on but if we're honest he's been out, I don't know, a number of weeks six weeks and he's not done a full weeks training he's done one bit of training today so it is probably too big a gamble if I'm honest just for the sake of 20 minutes as much as I would deal with Eden because even in his training session today he was quality, he leads the line well and he looks after the ball and he can finish but the selfish part of me would say I want him on bench but realistically next week without a game on the Tuesday I'm just looking at the board gives us a week where he can train fully I think Chris the physio was telling me Brendan Rogers for example and there's a lot of managers don't allow any players to come back unless they've had at least Tuesday, Thursday, Friday training under the belt and that's when they've only been out 10 days so Novak has been out a number of weeks so unfortunately and against what I'd like to do but I totally get it I think we'll leave him and let him have another good training session tomorrow and over the weekend and then join him fully next week but he's in, he's champion at the bit and he's ready to go but he's still well ahead of what his scam results said so that's another, if he was on the level with it it would be maybe more but he's a few weeks ahead of what the level of the scam reported so and again I keep saying we've got experience of what happened at the Lancery and Zellie so we just got to stay mindful of that How much are you battling your own instincts with all these injuries at the moment particularly with Lee? Yeah, of course I'm sure you're fed up asking the same questions which you have to do, I get it I'm fed up with giving the same answers about the injuries we've still got seven out yeah, it can be frustrating, it's challenging but hopefully I'm not at a stage on Saturday where I'm knowing I've got to bring people off after an hour so that's a little bit more helpful Let's talk about Tuesday night in isolation Yes okay, a defeat but a positive performance in the main until the second half and the guy seemed to tire a little bit I think he said after the game as well but can you, do you take belief from what you saw in the main, the first half in particular the performance that the lads put in? Yeah, undoubtedly, obviously I've watched it a couple of times again it was probably no different to what I imagined with the better team first half and again, they're a good strong side who are on a good run so it was always going to be a challenging game but the goals, when we score, they have a flowy straight I'm not even a flowy, they have a chance to hit the bar straight after that but other than that we've been really solid as I say, I think the penalty's 50-50 on Clayton didn't really say much at the time but when I watch it back, it certainly goes in back of him and I think with the crowd behind us at that time we would have got it but Ben should score, Poddy said they should score so we're definitely about the same first half and then for them to get a goal like they did with the deflection I mean, as I said before, the other night it's a tame shot that will go into Richard's hands but it really gives them a lift and hurt us but what has been happening and we keep emphasising the players is straight after that, the score on half-time and with the two minutes injury time they could have scored again you know, Richard made a good save and then granted to the players they get a great blocking but we could have been going in, should have been going in 1 now we could have been 2-1 down so we come out second half and we were a little bit, as I said before a little bit stooped by it they started better but it was a case of we were just going to get some bodies on us we were tiring to take a point and be happy for a point but unfortunately in that space of time the long throw came in and they did us on it so it was a real cruel one to take again watching the whole game certainly not a result we deserved spirit, endeavour second half, maybe through a little bit not confidence we're certainly not brimming with confidence with the run we've had but a little bit of the changes we made etc etc but we need to, the first half performance was very strong Can you take a lot away from that and can you use that to communicate with the players and give them something to build upon, build a base? Yeah, but it's about consistency because I go back to, we go down we play well against Exeter and then putting a really poor performance at Salford and then we go and put in a real good shift, everybody together at Orient but don't get anything from it and then go and put in a real dispoint against Oldham so we need a little bit more consistency we need players playing at the best a little bit more more often to get us some points and get us up and going but we've got a little bit more time on training to work through what we want to do and we'll be ready we'll be organised and we'll we'll be ready to go we've got to keep believing there's a win just round the corner You mentioned the result for Mansfield at Cambridge last night, a surprise result maybe, given the context of the table what it means is that you go down to 20 seconds now I know you said on Tuesday you're not looking at the table how hard is it for you as a manager and for the players to not get drawn in by what's happening in the table yeah, of course I know we're in the lower end bottom ends of it, of course but as I said the other night we can't do anything where we are at the minute we've obviously got a look to improve that area as soon as we can but the league doesn't finish on Saturday we've got 30 odd games and it's not being blaze here we need to start picking up points naturally but where we are at this moment in time can't affect the confidence and the nature of how we go about our business of course we're all hugely, hugely disappointed to be where we are in the table we want more points, we want to start climbing up and a couple of wins will help with that but if it takes a month, two months, whatever it takes we will get there but naturally, sooner that we can do that and start getting a victory and build a little bit of confidence get players back in the group and start looking up the table rather than worrying about where we are but we are in a position at this moment in time where it's concerning for everybody naturally but as I said, the league table the league doesn't finish on Saturday it's not as last game we've got a lot of points to play for and as I said before, in the coming weeks months will be stronger and hopefully that will show in performances and certainly in points when you look at results like that Stuart, do you think that you do a result like that yourself the way that the football gods work at times it'd be nice, but listen you don't get anything given, you've got I'm sure Mansoul went down there and worked extremely hard and as we did at Orient as we have done in a lot of games and maybe not got just rewards we've got, again, a look at the game the other day the deflected goal, the possibly good call for a penalty which we haven't got but tight, tight things we just need them little tight decisions or tight little bits of luck to go our way but you make your own luck as you say work hard which we will be doing we'll be organised we'll be, you know having total commitment and that's what we need to see and we need to keep going it's difficult when as an individual you've got to make sure you just go out and focus want to be a good team mate, as we always say but first and foremost make sure your performance is above us 5 out of 6 let's try to get 7 out of 10s and let's get more of us playing like that which will give us more opportunity to get a result go well on Stuart go on Saturday cheers, thank you do you say like the players looked a bit tired the other night do you think some of that is because they had conceded you then start to feel the tiredness whereas if you're winning you probably wouldn't have noticed it yeah, good point, mentality is a big thing you know, you don't see anybody winning and I said that I want to look back at the game I've got to also look at the opposition as I said before I've taken a lot of time I've taken a lot of time the opposition as I said before I've taken they've had a really good start, a strong side good mentality about them they get the goal just for our time and they come out and they were a lot better than they were first half but I think that was because we nullified them and we played well and as the game goes and the game goes we didn't start great and the balance of the game was ebbing in their favour and unfortunately they get that goal but if we'd have come off with a 1-0 it would have been a real sterling effort but a little bit of everything a little bit of lads but I think mentally as much as physically sometimes it can affect you as you say as well, 30 games still left I suppose for fans it's a strange thing that we're very early at Christmas which is traditionally when the league sorts itself out it was such a short point into the league this season yeah, well I'm just looking now we've got seven games in December so lots of natural points to play for there but yeah we've just got to each game put the best performance in my can start getting a few points and start moving up the table Cheers, good luck on Saturday Cheers, thank you You were saying obviously about not getting too fixated with the table as such obviously some of the younger players is it a case of telling them not to you know, young lads you're looking at Twitter, you're looking at Facebook blah blah blah, you see the league table thrown down it's on sky Yeah, obviously it's not nice but it's not something I'm going to speak to I'm going to draw attention to it we've just got to focus on the next game the next chance to win three points young or old you know, sometimes youngsters play with no fear and maybe just go out and don't think about it but it's not an area the table we would have hoped to have been naturally but it's where we are and we can only change that by putting in strong performances from now on but yeah, I would suggest anybody you know, regarding the social media it's not going to be much positive at this moment in time, understandably of course but hopefully we can spin that round in the next few months You see how the results are where you think that's not done us any favour and you've got to balance it while the fact as you say you've got 32 games left it's crazy how much the season is still to go isn't it? Yeah, there is and as I say, we look to be strengthening in the coming weeks, coming months but it's alright you're saying that, we've got to get on with it now we've got to scrap and fight which they did the other night for every ball, every point every goal, everything and once you can get a result and maybe a couple together, bit of confidence grows but we need consistent performances to get that and that's what we need we need on Saturday, as I said, against an informed kind of outside but we've got to go out and play in a positive manner like we always try to do at home With the performance the other night there's a lot of encouragement ultimately frustrating to come away empty handed, does it need much lifting of the group or they're pretty bright today considering it was a real kick in the teeth, wasn't it? Yeah, I think they know they can't do with long faces and do them in gloom because that's a negative vibe and a negative mentality and I don't expect them to come in skipping and jumping and doing cartwheels but what's gone is gone yeah, it was a big kick in the guts, as was Orient the week before with the effort that they put in but it's they keep going to a mentality the players can't change it I can't change what happened the other night we were a little bit unfortunate the deflection, etc but we've got to go full steam ahead on Saturday and just give everything you've got and when you come off the park, lucky teammate in the eye and say I might have not been great on a ball but I've got on top of my opponent whatever it may be You were saying earlier about Carlisle, the number of familiar faces in that line-up, it's good to see the likes of Danny Devine and Amari players who probably didn't quite well sort of had chances here but have a really regular run and they've obviously got an opportunity elsewhere Danny's not played much this season I think it was his first game of the night for a long time but he's been in and around it and he put in his sound performance Little Joe Ryler obviously was injured when I was here and he understood Amari was a one that when we brought him in and he showed glimpses and he's certainly he's filled out now, we knew he was quick but he's playing with a lot of confidence and you can see that in his play and he's doing well and obviously Callum Guy gives him what he gives him bundle of energy, gets around the park real you know, terrier for them so yeah, I'm sure they'll all want to come back and do well as you always do when you go back to your old club Andine Furman as well and Dino I was just leaving as Dino was coming on actually last night, watching him in the warm up and he still does everything he's a good professional he's in the mid 30s now he's been about and been back over at South Africa but everything he does you can tell he doesn't mess about 15 minutes in the warm up, everything he was doing spot on, encouraging the other young ones and as I say, good professionals in your dressing room, when you're not even playing and worth the work worth in gold
