Good morning and welcome once again. Let's pray and let's get started with our class for this morning. Could somebody from our online batch open it out for us with a word of prayer? Lord and Master, we give you thanks and adoration this morning. We commit today's activity into your mighty hands that you give us insight and understanding in whatever we are going to learn in Jesus mighty name. Amen. Thank you, Kofi for leading us. So a quick look at what we had done in the last class. We talked about the origin of Satan and his demons. Sorry, we understood that Satan is a created being. He's one of the angels who was with God in heaven and there was a rebellion. He took one third of the angels and he was thrown out of heaven. So that's exactly what happened. We looked at his nature. We looked at how God created him and we saw that he was created perfect with many abilities. We saw that he had beauty, wisdom, wealth, music. He was anointed. He was able to do business and rule over the nations. So he was created with incredible ability. But unfortunately, it all got corrupted and why did it get corrupted? What was that one thing that pride? Yeah, pride. We talked about pride. We talked about how pride always leads to deception and when one has pride, they can go into self-deception, which is a very dangerous thing and that's what happened to Satan. He became so proud that he thought he can become greater than God. We all know that's not possible, but he has deceived himself. There's a corruption that happens when we are in pride. So that is what happened to Satan and we know that he continues to be here on earth and you know, sort of affect people, interfere with the affairs of mankind and the way God has created this world perfectly. So that's what we had discussed in the last class. Let's look at this last section once more of chapter 3, where it says Lucifer's Fall. We've touched on most of the insights here, the fact that Lucifer's rebellion resulted in the corruption of all things that were in him. Then we saw that there were certain events that took place in heaven, one of which was to shun him out of heaven. Then we also saw how he gained rulership of the earth. So how did he gain rulership of the earth? Was the rulership of the earth given to Satan?  No. But sin is what caused the shift, isn't it? So God intended for man to have the rulership but when man sinned, the rulership shifted to Satan. That's what happened. Then here another point which we have here is that we must not treat Satan lightly. So that point I didn't touch. I just wanted to talk a little bit about it. In the book of Jude, there's only one chapter verse 9, it says that we cannot just rebuke Satan or in the sense that of course we have authority to do it but there is a right way of going about it. You can't just speak sort of, what can I say, derogatory things or whatever you feel like to Satan because he's already defeated, we know that. But then we go ahead and we just speak whatever we want. We can't do that. Jude 1 verse 9, could somebody please turn to it? If you're there, read it out. That will clarify many things for us. Jude 1 verse 9, but when the Archangel Mikhail contending with the devil was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment but said the Lord rebuke you. Okay, so you see that even when there was a fight, like an angelic battle that's going on, Michael does not use blasphemous language or language which is not permitted against Satan because in what God has created, there are many authority structures and authority flows in a certain way. So there are things that we can do with our authority but then there are things that we are not permitted to do. So in this case, even an angel like Michael is not using blasphemous language against Satan. So what we are basically saying is we can use our full authority against Satan. But if we just want to speak blasphemously or take Satan lightly, that would be wrong. We have to function within the given authority that we have. Okay, so something like I'll just give you one example.  That would be okay because the Bible tells us Jesus has given us that authority. So that's fine.  The thing is, like technically, God will do it at the right time. I cannot do that. I don't have the authority to do that. So things like that, those are all, we need to be aware how far our authority goes. So to cast out the devil, to bind the devil is okay. But for me to condemn the devil and send him to the lake of fire, I don't have that authority. Only God has that authority and there is a timeline. You got it. So there are things like that. I just gave you a very simple example for you to understand. But if we do anything outside of our authority, first of all, it may not work. Secondly, it may not be right. So remember that. Can't just take Satan very lightly in that sense. I hope it is clear. If there are any questions, you can please ask. Yes, Shani, just give me a moment. Yes, please, Shani, you can go ahead now. Thanks to my audience. I was just trying to figure out what page you read in the PDF. It's page 17. Okay, so just a moment. Yeah, I am just moving to page 17. So it should be there. Did you find it? Okay, so you just finished up 16. Now you're starting 17. Yes. So, yes, I was talking about chapter 2 and we are just going into chapter 3. Sorry if there was any confusion about that. Maybe I said chapter 3. Yeah, that's all right. Okay. All right. Yes, ma'am. I would like to know. So in case we are praying, can we also bind the devil? Because the Bible says God has given us the power to bind and lose. Can we do that? Yes. So, yes, Kofi, I think that would be appropriate because we have the authority to bind and lose. And when we are saying we bind you Satan, we mean that we are binding what he is doing. So if that is strife or if there is anxiety, confusion, hatred, whatever it is that the enemy is causing, we are binding that. So it should be fine. It should be fine. So I know people say things like I bind you Satan. What they mean is they're binding the activity of Satan, which is actually okay. Because in a sense, they mean they're binding the activity. Is that okay? Is that fine? Thank you. Yeah. Thank you. Okay. Yes.  Okay. See, we do have, we do carry authority to bind him or to stop him in other words. Right. So this thing about fire from heaven, I don't, I don't see any scripture for that. But I understand what they're trying to say. They're basically saying we are stopping you. And then they're using, you know, the fire of heaven as that, that entity or that substance. Okay. So in essence, they are correct. Yeah. But technically, I don't know. I don't know about any fire like that. But you see the spirit of God, the Holy Spirit. When we talk about the presence of the Holy Spirit, we know that he manifests in many ways. So when you go back to the time of Moses leading the people, a pillar of fire by night, cloud by day, the presence of God can manifest as fire. So if someone is saying, Satan, we are stopping you like the fire of God is coming upon this person or on Satan. In a way, it's, it's okay because they're talking about the presence of God taking charge of the situation. So yeah, specifically, I know, I know, I know. So it may refer to the presence of God. So it should be fine. Okay. Okay. That's a good question. So the question is, can we engage an angel like Michael, maybe to come and sort of battle it out with the demons? Okay. So this again, we don't have the authority to command angels. So that's what I'm trying to tell us. We can, like, they can work for us, but not by us telling them what to do, because they won't listen to us. You know, it's like an hierarchy or an army structure. So just take, for example, an army, anyone cannot command anyone. They have a proper order in which the authority flows. So only that officer can command the subordinate officer. Okay. That's how it works.  So in the same way, when it comes to angels, right, they will not listen to us if we command them. So how will they listen to us? Psalm 103 verse 20. Okay. You can just go to Psalm 103 and verse 20. You have someone's there. Please read. Should I read, ma'am? Yes, Nelson.  Okay, so here is the key. How do the angels do something or how some people like to use the word activate? You know, how do the angels get activated? The key lies here. It simply says the latter part of the scripture who do His word. So if His word is there, or if God says something, then the angels will do it. If we say something, they won't do it unless we are declaring the word. So when I make declarations, for example, you know, I think Psalm 34 says the angel of the Lord and camps around those who fear Him. Then what happens? I'm speaking the word of God. The angel then has to take action because what does that scripture say? It says that the angel will protect God's people. Okay, so they'll only respond to the voice of God. You see that last section there, heeding the voice of His word. So they will only listen to the command of God and the voice of God, the word of God. So if I want angels to do something, right, for example, in your situation, I have to declare the word. So when I declare the word, they will do it.  They'll be like, please, we don't want to listen to you because they'll only listen to God's voice.  So that's the way to, you know, have angels work on our behalf, angels battle or engage angels or some want to call it activate angels declaration. And we declare the word angels will go to work. That's how it is. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah, it's not a command. No kill. It's just like an exhortation, which is fine. Yeah, a command. We are not authorized to do that. Okay. Um, yes, there are some. Yeah. In Daniel's case. Right. Correct. Correct. Yes. Yes. Okay. So that's another point. See, we were asking about how to engage angels. The way to engage angels is they receive a command from God. Okay. And when God says they do it, that is why when we declare the word, they will do it because it's God's word. Got it. But in the case of Daniel, God commanded the angel Michael to go in war like the Prince of Persia, the Prince of Greece. What, what is the Prince of Persia and Prince of Greece? Remember last class we said that Satan likes to imitate. So when there are kingdoms of the earth, he likes to have parallel kingdoms, parallel demonic kingdoms. Okay. And our understanding is that they were regional principalities. So Prince of Persia means a demonic authority over Persia. A demonic authority over Greece. So these demons stopped the answer. Uh, God already gave the answer, but the answer did not reach Daniel. But when Daniel prayed, now here is another key, right? So when we pray, God works on our behalf. So what might have happened? Daniel prayed and you know, God sent Michael and Michael fought the demonic principalities and the answer actually came through. So prayer also will cause things to shift in the spiritual realm. Okay. But how did Michael go there? Obviously Daniel didn't command. He prayed and our understanding is God would have kind of, you know, set that up and then he goes in action, receives the victory and then the answer comes. Okay. So Nelson, did I answer your question? Yeah, fine. Good questions here about how to activate angels. Okay. Now let's move on to chapter three. We understood the origin of Satan. Where did Satan come from? And I want to share once again that in the scriptures, we are informed about many things, right? Like even about Satan and how he was in the presence of God and he was a very anointed cherub. All those things are given in the scriptures and that is why we can clearly present details about Satan. But there are many details for whatever reason God did not find it necessary to put it in the scriptures for us. So one word that I want to share right now is to not be overly interested in those missing sections because it happens to a lot of people. They want to know about the world between Satan's casting out and the creation of the earth. Like what happened? Right? Curiosity. Even we would love to know what was going on. What was Satan doing? What were his plans and how was he kind of building up his steam? These are all questions that we may have but you see the scriptures don't present any clear answers to these questions. So when teachings come up about these matters, people are writing books and sometimes it's termed as the pre-ademic world, pre-ademic world. But there's no such reference in scripture, in the canon of scripture. So my word of caution is when we become overly interested on matters that don't have strong scriptural foundation or proof, it can lead us into error. So it's okay to have interest, it's okay to ask questions but we must settle it in our hearts that we don't have the actual answers. So if we go researching the pre-ademic world, people can come up with all kinds of concepts. They might say there are aliens and that they are the ones who are this and that and so many philosophies. But what is the scriptural basis for these things? Not enough.  So let's not make a theory or a doctrine out of one or two scriptures, very, very dangerous, misleading the people. It's good to rest our faith on the strong foundation of scripture. For example, if you take faith itself, right, faith, you have hundreds of passages that talk about what is faith, you know, and it gives us deeper and deeper revelation. People have been talking about faith for so many years but it's still not over. We can keep going deeper because there is so much that God has spoken about that matter. But then there are some matters that God has chosen not to go into. Maybe it's not all that important. So have interest but don't become overly interested. Origin of Satan, this, you know, like exactly what happened and what were they using, what was their transport. It's really not necessary. So we whatever we learned so far is what we have available in scripture. And yeah, we would stop with that regarding the origin of Satan. So now coming to the nature of Satan and his demons. We are going to construct this, our understanding of the nature of Satan and demons on the basis of scripture. Okay, so I'll let Shani ask a question because she says she's confused. Oh, sorry, I just wanted, so we're not supposed to say something about the devil. Like you're using the example about, I guess, casting him into the lake, whatever. We can't say, we can't say we're going to do something to the devil that God will do. Is that what you're saying? And if so, why, I mean, why not? And then also I'm confused about commanding angels. I know you say we can't command them, but we can command the word. Can you give me an example? Because I'm not understanding that. Okay, so two questions there, Shani, about one is about, I said that I didn't say you can't bind the devil. We can whatever we are authorized to do, we can. So the scriptures do tell us that we have been given the keys of the kingdom to bind and to lose. So that we can do. But what I said is sometimes people take it a step further and say things that they're not authorized to do. So when we study the scriptures, we know that it is God's work to finally, finally cast Satan into the lake of fire. Now as a believer, if I am saying I am casting you into the lake of fire, right?  But scripturally, that's not correct because the demons, it's not yet that time. The Bible talks about a time when God will bind the devil, put him into the bottomless pit. And so basically, very simple, Shani, what I'm saying, I'm saying whatever we are authorized to do, we can do.  Or we are saying, I am binding you and I'm throwing you into the lake of fire. That's not technically correct. So those kind of things we could avoid. Okay, that was my simple point regarding that. And the second one, I said, we can't command angels, but angels can work for us if you want to put it that way. Because Hebrews chapter one and verse 14, it says that angels are ministering spirits given to the heirs of salvation, meaning the angels are there to help the believer. So they are supposed to help us in different ways. We'll come to their functions later on. But how to get them to work, that's the question. I can't just tell an angel like I can't tell Gabriel, okay, I command you Gabriel, you do this or Michael, you do this. They will not do that work if I command as a believer. They will only respond to the word of the Lord. And so what we should be doing in order to engage angels is to declare the word. So when we declare the word, something as simple as, you know, God's protection. I declare the protection of God over my life. Okay, you can just quote Psalm 91. So the moment you quote Psalm 91, that is enough to activate angels or to engage angels or get them to do their work. So that's the point, Shani, I hope it's clearer now. Yes, it is. Thank you. Yeah, right. Okay. Yes, fine. So chapter three here, we are beginning with a description of demons. Who demons are who are demons? I think the last class we already answered that question. Who are demons? Fallen angels. Correct. Yeah, they are fallen angels. Where do they live? Okay, spirit world, spirit realm. Where do we see them, you know, doing their activity? Where is all their activity focused? Earth. Currently they're very interested in the earth because they want to disrupt people created in God's image. So Matthew chapter 12 gives us some insight into how these demons behave, how these demons operate. Matthew chapter 12 verses 43 to 45. We can read that and then, you know, I'll go ahead and explain further. Are you there already? Okay, go ahead. Nelson's very quick. Say something is already there. Okay, go ahead. Matthew 12, 43 to 45. When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it passes through waterless places seeking rest, but finds none. Then it says, I will return to my house from which I came. And when it comes, it finds the house empty, shaped and put in order. Then it goes and brings with it seven other spirits more evil than itself. And they entered and dwell there. And the last state of that person is worse than the first. So also, will it be with this evil generation? Okay. So what Jesus is describing here is what happens when a demon spirit is cast out. And did you notice they were saying house, they went back to their house. One demon spirit was cast out. Okay. And it's again in search of a house or a dwelling place. Now this time around after it wanders, it gathers with it seven other more wicked spirits and enters back that same house because it was not occupied. And the condition of that person becomes worse than what it was initially. What is this house body? Yeah, you're right. So we notice that these fallen angels whom we call as demons, they prefer to live in a house. They don't want to be wandering. Why do they wander? Because they want to look for a house or a dwelling place. So another term that is used to describe demons is disembodied spirits. Disembodied spirits because it simply means they are spirits who don't have a body but they keep looking for a body. Got it? They are disembodied spirits who want a body. We saw that very clearly in Matthew chapter 12 and the spirit comes out. Again, it wants to go back when it searches and finds the house empty goes back but takes seven other spirits with it. And if you look at some other passages of scripture, we recognize that this is true. These demon spirits like to occupy bodies. If you go to the passage where Jesus commands the demons, come out of that man, Legion, and they beg Jesus. They say, please let us go into the pigs. So what is happening? They want a body. They're coming out of the body of the man but they are asking to go into the body of some animals. They want a body. That's what their desire is. So then Jesus is okay, fine. You can go and they go and we know what happened, right? Like the pigs go and they drown and there was a big loss for the person who had that set of pigs. So we observe that demon spirits can occupy human bodies or they can occupy animal bodies. So another instance is when you go back to the book of Genesis, okay? Adam and Eve, who came and spoke to Eve, Satan. But how did he come? In the form of serpent. Yeah, in the form of a serpent. So one way of looking at that is that Satan would have occupied that serpent and gone. Spoken to Eve, okay? So demon spirits can occupy human bodies. They can also occupy animals. Can they occupy non-living things or we could term them as inanimate objects. They can, they can. So that is also something that we must be clear about because we read this earlier, right? Remember Deuteronomy 7 when we talked about objects. God said, don't bring that. Don't bring those objects which are dedicated to other gods. Don't bring them with you. One of the reasons is because there can be an influence of demonic spirits on non-living things or inanimate objects. Now, if you go to the example where Paul talks about idols in the book of Corinthians, even there he says that when people sacrifice, do they sacrifice to idols? He says, no, they're actually sacrificing to demons. Okay, then you ask the question, hey, but people are sacrificing to something that they have created. But what does Paul say? It's not that object. There are demons operating out of that object. Okay, so here is our understanding. Demons are fallen angels, disembodied spirits who are always in search of a body. The body can be a human being. It can be animals. It can also be objects. So that's how they function. Now, a couple of other things that we can recognize about them is that they have a proper organized structure. Okay, their kingdom has a proper organized structure or we use the term hierarchy. Erarchy means you have, you know, authority structure and then under that another level of authority under that another level of authority. That is hierarchy. We call that in English. So now, in God's kingdom, we see that God is the ruler. Okay, God is the ruler. He has his angels and then there are people born again believers and there's a certain way in which the kingdom of God functions or the kingdom of light functions. Similarly, we would observe that Satan, you know, Satan loves to imitate nothing original, all copy. Okay, so same thing. He sees structure of God's kingdom. He sees everything is organized. He's taken that and he's transposed it on his own kingdom and that's how he's working. So there is an hierarchy. There's an authority structure and we find that the book of Ephesians, Ephesians 6 verse 12. It says we do not battle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, you know, spirits of wickedness. Just go ahead, read that passage. You'll see some names given there of demonic authority structures. It just doesn't say that, you know, we do not battle against flesh and blood, but against demons. Instead, it brings out some authority structures there. Ephesians 6 and verse 12. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Okay, thank you Nelson. So there is a list and I think Nelson read it in another version. But in the NKTV version, you'll probably find words like principalities, powers, rulers of darkness, spirits of wickedness. So how do we understand the function of each of these categories? Principalities are chief rulers. They seem to be the primary rulers over a region. Okay, or a certain activity or something evil. So they are the chief rulers. They are known as principalities. So as you know, I like to look at it like it's a prince, right? So they are key rulers in that area. Now you would also notice that there are powers. Okay, powers. Powers are demonic authorities that have delegated power. So it simply means, now if there is a chief ruler, the chief ruler will command or will instruct powers to go do the work. The chief ruler may not go and do everything, but it's like an army again. You think of an army, the commander will give the commands and the people will follow the commands. So there are powers they'll go and they will implement. Then there are rulers of darkness. These are again a set of ruling spirits. They may not be the chief ones, but they are some kind of ruling spirits. Okay, again over regions particularly and there are also known as spirits of wickedness. Another set of demons, spirits of wickedness. So these spirits of wickedness can be understood as spirits that promote all kinds of evil and sinful things. So that is their activity. The interesting thought here is that the demons seem to be very specialized. Okay, one is they have authority structures and they have positions in the demonic kingdom. The next thing is that they are specialized. How do we know that they are specialized? When we hear their names like Prince of Persia, Prince of Greece or when Jesus was casting out demons, spirit of infirmity, foul spirit, spirit of blindness, spirit of muteness. So what do we learn from that? It seems like that spirit has a job and it does its job. They are very specialized. They won't do anything else.  If you want to check something else, you just go to the ENT. So just for us to understand, it seems like there are demonic spirits that operate only in that activity and they will promote that activity. Okay, so that is also part of their nature. And it seems like they have a personality. Okay, what is a personality? See, personality is to have, how do you say, how do I put this? Like they are their own person. They have certain abilities, their characteristic. They may even have a name. That's why when Jesus is casting out, who are you? We are legion. We are many. So the demon is talking. Demons are talking and they are identifying themselves. Meaning they have a personality. Okay, this is who they are. Got it? So they seem to have personality, their own characteristics and their way or method of working. That's how they are. Okay, so we'll come to all this later. When we are casting out demons, is it helpful to find out which demon is there? Because people do that, right? They ask the question, who are you? And then the demon starts to talk. So it may be so that when we know which demon is operational, we will know better how to cast it out. So to a limited extent, it is okay to find out which demon is actually, has taken charge over that person. Talk about this later. Just trying to learn all the characteristics of that demon, when it came, when it's planning to go. It's also unnecessary. We don't have to get into everything. Just enough that will help. Enough information that will help us to achieve what we want. What do we want? We want the person who is oppressed by the demon to be free. Right? So to that extent, it's okay if we find out, okay, who are you? What are you doing here? Something, when did you come in? It gives us some clues on what we must deal with and then help that person to be free of that demonic spirit. Okay? So we will build on this. So far we've understood that demons are disembodied spirits. They seem to have an hierarchy in their kingdom. They are specialized. And also, they may have names, titles. And they can also be territorial. There's one more point here which says that they are territorial. Territorial simply means localized to a specific area. So as we've been saying, Prince of Persia, Prince of Greece, the name itself suggests which zone they are operating in. Okay? That particular region or communities of people who live there would come under the influence of that local territorial spirit. Okay? Let me pause here and take up questions if any before we stop for a break. Shani, I can see your hand raised. Is it another question? Yeah, I just have a question. I just wanted to find out because I've heard that people said that if you have at the baptism, if you have the Holy Ghost, that demons can't come on you. Like if somebody has demons in their cast out, but then they get the Holy Ghost, more demons cannot come back at them. Is that true? Because I was told that if you have an empty desk, if you don't have the Holy Ghost, demons can keep coming back at you. But if you have the Holy Ghost in you, then they can't. Is that true or not? Okay. So I'll give you a short answer. Even if a believer has the Holy Spirit living in them, they can be demonized. Okay? It's a different term. We're not saying a believer can be demon possessed because they cannot be. They are already possessed by the Holy Spirit. So a believer cannot be demon possessed, but they can be demonized. That means that they can come under a great influence. Of demonic spirits, if they provide an open door for the demonic spirits. Okay? So I would like to leave it at that and then pick it up a little later on. But is that okay? Yes. Did you get that? Yes. Yeah, sure. Okay. Right. So thank you, everyone. Let's go for a break. We'll come back and then we'll pick up from where we stopped. Okay?


The Marine recruiter looked at me and said, the only thing I can guarantee you is boot camp and then go into war in Vietnam. I had to convince my mother and father to sign for me since I was a minor. After two and a half months of walking, one morning I couldn't get up. I couldn't put no weight on my leg and my guards came up to me and won a chamber around and put the AK-47 on my head.  To be quite honest with you, I didn't think I could. I started singing the Marine Corps anthem and got up and walked and made it to a prisoner of war camp that was on the Vietnam-Lay-Ocean border in the jungles of South Vietnam. When I got through the door, I looked to the left-hand side and there was Hal Kushner, Dave Harker, Tom Davis, Ike McMillan, Daley, Lewis, Feaster, and there was probably two or three others. Dennis Hammond, Sergeant Marine Corps. I looked at them and I said to myself, oh my God. They looked absolutely immacid. I knew they were Americans and they were grinning at me and I was grinning at them. Hal Kushner asked me who I was and I told him, he said, well have a seat. He says, how are you? The interpreter walked out and left me there and I started talking to them and come to find out some of them had been five, they're five years or longer. He flew into Denane and I remember this just like it happened five minutes ago. They dropped the tailgate. We ran out the back and I think I took three steps and the rockets started coming in. That rocket attack lasted about 20 minutes and that was my first five minutes in combat. That was probably the first time that I asked myself what did I get myself into.  Yes, sir. And all that time without a boot on that foot then it was becoming infected along the way. Yes, sir. And you continued on. What happened when you got to the camp? I made the 26th prisoner that was held by that Vietnamese unit of which out of those 26 only 12 survived and I'm one of them after two years in the jungles in South Vietnam. And there was no doubt in this type of an environment and it's nothing more than an extension of the formal French prison system that was there when they occupied the country.   And we had all come to the conclusion that we would never do anything unless something went terribly bad that would lead up to that. Actual release was postponed four times because of breaks in the peace talks. And finally one day they came in and they gave us these clothes and said put it on and gave us a bag. They said you're going home and I said you're going home. I didn't believe in that. But anyway, they stuck us on a bus that had all the windows covered. We drove and they opened the doors to the bus. And as I got off the bus I looked off to the right side and there was an Air Force C-141 hospital, Air Force General. Standing there on the left hand side there was an Air Force General and a couple of colonels. And then about every North Vietnamese dignitary that the air force was in the country was standing there. And we had to go up there and salute that general and shake this Air Force Colonel's hand. And they would say to you walk very briskly to that airplane. And they didn't have to tell me twice. They said don't run but walk briskly. Got to the door, there was Air Force Flight nurses on there. And they put us in the seats and they hugged us and told us walk them home and kissed us and gave us cigarettes and beer and candy. We're taxing. The next thing I know the front end of the plane goes up and I'm looking down like this. And as it banks hard to the left I looked out the window and I saw the last time I ever saw a North Vietnamese. And I was glad.

And so when I think of things that Gene and I have done, the reintroduction of grasses, we planted a lot of trees, you know, I hope someday that someone will walk across our past and say, this is really neat, and I don't even care if they know my name, I just want them to enjoy what nature is really about.  My wife, Gene and I live on top of the Cato Hills in northeastern South Dakota, it's a ridge of hills about 200 miles long and 100 miles wide, also known as the Glacial Lakes area or the Prairie Pot Hill region. We have five children, eleven grandchildren who are still very active part of the family farm even though they are away at different jobs at the moment. I think what set us on our path or our journey of soil health is I saw the rainfall simulator, in fact I had to see it several times before it really sunk in. What was happening underneath our soil and how important it was. We decided to start rotating our pastures. We are in a partnership with Fish and Wildlife, they supplied materials for us. Way back in 1989, when I first started at Wabay National Wildlife Refuge, we worked with Dennis and Gene restoring wetlands on their CRP Conservation Reserve program land. We divided our pastures up into several small paddocks. Restored a number of wetlands in their CRP and pasture lands. And so by using Fish and Wildlife and NRCS and different opportunities to help us cross fence, that really has helped economically, helped take some of that stress off. We found out that the major part of grazing that's really important and it's really familiar is rest, rotate and recovery. That's how easy rotating pastures are. We've increased our carrying capacity, it's increased our weaning weights, our breed back, we have less sickness and that really does make a difference. We have reintroduced a lot of native grasses into our pastures. We just interceded into some of our cool season grasses. Didn't see the result right away but took about two to three years before we saw the benefits of that. So this is August 24th and we did have a wet spring, we had a wet last fall. And in June the rain stopped and we've had very little rain this summer. You can just tell by the root system of these native plants how they can withstand and draw it a little bit easier than having a small cool season grass out here. Now these areas are in grass, tremendous change for wildlife. Water quality, the water filters through the grass into the wetland and then down into the lake and a lot of the nutrients are trapped and stored up here in wetlands and uplands and keeps the lakes cleaner. We live in a unique area with lots of water, there's 30 lakes within 30 miles of here and hundreds of ponds. And we first started rotational grazing, one of the things that we had done is we thought we could use those ponds for watering. And we soon found out that as especially late summer those cattle were going out further and further into the ponds to get water and coming back and dragging mud and we were destroying the wetlands. And that's when we really got involved in, with ECRIP programs, getting fresh water to our pastures. We have water tanks, we even put up a solar well, which has worked really well. And I think fresh water is just a very important part of any rotation. A couple years ago we started using cover crops and the things that the cover crops have done for us is generally we come in with the forage oats or forage barley and we usually can get that off first or second week in July and we come right back in with a cover crop with the intention of grazing it.  It's also great for the biology of the soil. You get the hoof action along with cover crops and all the manure out there. We have really seen a difference in our yields the following year and it has given us a longer grazing season. We keep something growing longer, especially we use rye quite often and we get some grazing in the fall. And then in the spring as we cab we try and move the pears off as quick as we can or get them away from the rest of the herd and we can throw them out in that rye field which gives us more hoof action and just healthier for the calves. It's just a nice place to be able to throw them. Then we'll terminate the rye and come in with the soybean crop and it's something that's really helped us extend our feed and at the same time benefit for the soil. Conservation isn't always cheap, people think that and it's very true sometimes. You have to put forth some effort but there's programs with NRCS conservation district, there's official wildlife, there's places where you can get help to offset that and then the benefits show up later economically with higher weaning weights, stronger calves, better ground your land is better. When I think of conservation one of the biggest things that I learned was given to me by a man who never said a thing. In his 70s he came back here and started planting trees and I thought why is he planting trees, he's in his 70s, he's not going to be able to enjoy it and my thinking was really wrong because he enjoyed doing it, guess who's enjoying it today? I am, my kids are, my grandkids are. Life now is moving faster than it ever has before it seems like but let's leave this the better place and we can still farm and do that.

Hi students, it's Shayna from espressoenglish.net and today I want to give you a live lesson answering a student question. Someone asked me when we use the word cloth and when we use the word clothes. So today I'm going to explain the difference between cloth and clothes. First there's a pronunciation difference. The word cloth has an aw sound, cloth. It's similar to the words law, bought, and taught. Even though the sound is spelled differently, it's spelled with an o here, it's spelled with a w here, it's spelled o-u-g-h in the word bought and a-u-g-h in the word taught, but it's the same sound. So listen to all four words, cloth, law, bought, and taught. It's the aw sound. Now the word clothes has an o sound and that's similar to the words nose, hope, low. Listen to those, clothes, nose, hope, and low. Now listen to the difference between cloth and clothes. Do you hear it? Aw, o, cloth, clothes. Okay, so that's the pronunciation difference. Now how are they different in meaning? Well the word cloth just means fabric. Like this is a piece of cloth. Actually, this is what we call a washcloth because in America we use a washcloth to wash our face, often to take off makeup. So this is called a washcloth and it's a piece of cloth, it's a piece of fabric. Use the word clothes for talking about what you wear.  Okay? So when talking about the fabric, use cloth and when talking about the shirt and pants and everything that you wear, use clothes. Now it looks like this one is singular and this one is plural, but that's actually not the case. The plural of cloth is cloths. If I have more than one cloth, I have washcloths. But clothes is always plural like this. It's always clothes. I'm wearing new clothes or I'm going to buy some new clothes.  You can call it a piece of clothing or an item of clothing. Clothing is the same as clothes, okay? Both words refer to what you're wearing. So you can say a piece of clothing, an item of clothing. You don't say one clothes or a clothes. It's just not right. You can say one piece of clothing, one item of clothing or an item of clothing or you can just say its name, one shirt, one jacket, one pair of pants. With the word pants, it's a little bit special because even though it's one item, it's always plural. So don't say I'm wearing a blue pant. It's not correct. You would say I'm wearing blue pants or a blue pair of pants.  So don't say I bought a new sandal. I bought new sandals. It's always plural and that applies to pants and shorts even though it's only one item but it kind of has two parts, right? The two legs of the pants or the shorts. So we say a pair of pants or a pair of shorts. Okay, so that's the difference between cloth and clothes. Remember, clothing is another word for clothes and I want to give you one final tip about pronunciation. Some students have asked me, well, it's really hard to make the th sound and then the z sound, clothes. It's kind of difficult but you might notice that when native speakers say this word, we say it fast and it almost sounds like close, like close the door. So I'll give you a few sentences. Let's see. When I get up in the morning, I put on my clothes. It sounds like clothes even though I'm saying clothes. But when I talk fast, you almost can't tell the difference, right? Or I'd really like to buy some new clothes at the mall. You can tell by the context that I'm actually saying clothes, things to wear, shirts, jackets, pants, and shorts. But when I talk fast, then the word clothes sounds like clothes. Okay, that's it for today's lesson. I hope you enjoyed it and if you did, please give me a like, a comment, feel free to ask questions, or share this video with other English learners. Bye for now.


In 1999 the General Assembly passed Resolution 54 out of 120 which declared 12th of August International Youth Day and recommended that public information activities by organisers at all levels to promote awareness especially among youth of our program. Now which brings us now to the International Youth Day in our country which is being annual event observed globally on 12th of August in accordance with the UN General Assembly. This year's theme was about education. A lot has been done since 6th until today they were in Kuala. We will be getting to business maybe tomorrow to see what happened throughout the week. But for us here tonight we will be talking about the youth and leadership you want to see where are we, what is happening and do we have a future as youth. We move to our discussion tonight. I'll begin with Pithon because he's in the leadership. You lead a group of people Vijana Wongozini that is. There's a cliche in our country. I don't know whether it is in other countries where we say they use other leaders for tomorrow. Does it hold any waters? Thank you Hilary and also thank you for having me. I believe that the young people have a place in the society and that society exists today doesn't exist tomorrow. And so there are thoughts, there are things that we can contribute to that society. And a good example is in the old times you had the young people going out for war and you had the old wases who were acting as the vice-cancelors for a particular community. And so I believe that it's a wrong cliche that it's a misconception that we need to be 40 and 50 and 60 years for us to engage in leadership. So I believe and I'm a firm believer that the young people with all their strength, with all their creativity must participate in leadership for today and also for tomorrow. What's your take on this? We all know it's a lie. Because when you say young people are leaders of tomorrow, which tomorrow? Who is even sure about tomorrow? So I think for me this is part of what the older leaders have been using to hinder young people from accessing especially political power. So they will start saying you're leaders of tomorrow when in real sense we are leading even now. Young people are leaders in their different capacities, we are leading our companies, we are leading organizations, we are leading our houses, we are leading movements. And so it only comes in when you look at it politically. Otherwise young people are leading in so many spaces but they are not recognized because we know that the political space is where major decisions are made in this country. Dan, can you hold an office back in your county? Would you say indeed your tomorrow is now? First of all, happy international youth day and 12 years. My take on the same is that despite the fact that it has been said that the time for the youth is tomorrow, there is no tomorrow. Look at the history, what the youths of this country have done. If we start from Tom Boyer, what he did to this nation. Look at when Kibaki was given a position in Kani, he was a youth. Look after that generation what happened, the multi-partisan, the Raelas, the Madibas and now we are the next generation which we must know our course. We must not allow the elderly to say that the space for the youth is tomorrow. It is today and it is now. That is my take. Winnie, I'm coming to you with a different question but you also put your input. Now do you think the current youth have been given the necessary support they need in order to become the leaders? We all opt or dream to become as youth. Thank you for having me tonight to refer to the previous question first. I would say yes and no because my opinion is that all people have stayed longer in this earth. It is the young people who will inherit. So to some point yes they are the leaders of the future, those who will inherit. But to use this statement to hinder the youth who are already capable, who are willing to start now using that statement to hinder them is wrong. And the next question was... Are we given the necessary support that we need? I think no. One thing is if one youth is ready to go out there, seek for votes and all, he or she is diminished. He or she is told... ... ... I think the support is lacking. Secondly on finances. If a young man would go to his or her dad or the parents, could you fund my campaign? I don't know how many parents would go to that level. There are but I don't know how many would do it. So I think support is really needed and hearing them out is most important. A young person has views, opinions, but he is told no, I think you should listen to us. But if they are there, the opinions of the youth would be elevated higher. Yes because they have the wisdom. Okay. Pithon, you interact with young people in your group. There is this narrative that Tunazua to be politicians because we are young. If it's an organization or a company, my hard work will propel me higher. But now we have a political position that people have to vie for. There is an issue of inclusivity in line with the UN General Assembly that say this should happen to the youth. Do you think the current governments that have passed maybe in the last two times have given the young people the support they need? The support that I've seen and especially in the constitution I think is for women and the affirmative action which gave them I think the two thirds gender rule. But for the young people I haven't seen a lot. I've seen supporting the areas of empowerment through the national and the county governments. But there is little that has been done. If there has been any affirmative action in engaging the young people in taking them into leadership positions, I haven't seen none. Because my belief is and especially now that we have devolved county governments, I think we should have some reservation for the young people. A CEC for sports and youth needs to be a young person. It's as simple as that. And so we haven't been given that support. At least the constitution gives us the young people the right to buy, the right to join a political party. And yes, that's in the constitution but in regard to the national governments and county governments, I think they have done little and so we have been excluded completely. What's your take, do you feel? Because as an activist I'm sure there are those times you would go on the streets to say Vijana to Mekosaku Patikanapa. Like there's a question on the BBI team. People are saying there is no youth there. And it is something that people are not comfortable with. Now what's your take, do you feel like indeed we have been included in some of these particulars? I think inclusion alone is not enough. We do not want young people to be included in conversations just because they're between 18 to 35 years. We want meaningful engagement that even before the BBI was introduced, who are the young people that were brought on board to start this conversation? Because we just don't want people to come up with initiatives and coming up with agendas and say now we need young people so that we're just going to fill this space. So you look just for affirmative processes. And so they say they look around and say okay so we are four older people, especially men, and then now we don't have a woman. Let's bring Winiwabure. We don't have a youth. Oh I think you should bring an. So we are not, the kind of involvement that we have in this country is a sikening. You're brought on board to just tick boxes. So what I think from an activist perspective that needs to happen is that we have to engage youth before we come up with agendas during that period where the agenda is going to be implemented and even inclusion in terms of reviewing and monitoring and evaluating so we can hold each other accountable. But when you say for instance BBI and we know the history of BBI, right? The sad reality is that most of us especially at the ground do not even know what it's about. Right now I've seen as of two weeks ago I saw the engaging other young people and talking about the youth perspective on the BBI. But that comes in way after even decisions have been made. This morning I was hearing a joke in our usual youth meeting in Kambiyo and we were saying someone was just mentioning to us that referendum isha fa nika, you know, results are already known even right now. So what we are waiting for is the date to just do the process and then we'll have results. I mean it's not far from the truth that who are the young people right now in today being international youth today that do we even have young people between 18 to 34 kama siyende sana between 18 to 34 who are influencing decisions that politicians are making. Decisions like you said at the county level and at the national level, very few. And those few, the question is who are they? Kwa swapu wa takim tu akweni kabila yako, ama akweni relative yako, ama akweni yonisod or nephew or your friend. So engaging young people who deserve and merit is really important and that has not been happening. Before I let you go on that point, the youth that will be merited in this area, for an example we have young parliamentarians, a few of them just to mention like Babu, you know, and the rest, they are already in the leadership. Why were they not involved in the BBI? Because now the question is, do we have the youth who have what it takes to be in such a panel? Do we have such? You kidding me, he let me. You know we have, we have very many. But we are asking that question. We will always be on the streets to say we were not included, we were not consulted. What forums should we come up with or what effective forums should we have to ensure that we have been included? You know what is interesting is that a youth will not just wake up one morning and find themselves in a space. You will not do that. True. It is a lot of hard work and smart work. You just don't wake up and go because we have so many barriers including structural barriers. The time these people are even having this conversation, they don't engage the youth. That is what I started by saying, that you will have some of these amazing initiatives that you are having but because all the people don't want to give you a chance, they have their own interests. You will not even know that that kind of a thing is happening. So we will not be on TV or on radio but we don't know exactly what is happening. So I think for me the constitution is one that recognizes, and that's a step, recognizes young people 18 to 35 which gives even space for the female youth, young women between 18 to 35.  So just to answer your question, if the leaders of this country want to literally engage us, they know where to find us. If they put aside their greed and self-interest and selfishness, honestly we are everywhere to be seen. Even you are a young leader and all of us are... We should be moving that question to Pethon. I'll be coming to you much later. Pethon you have a group of leadership. Now how much has your group been involved by see the government in terms of coming up with policies and overseeing how youths will benefit from such things. We have tried as much as possible to actually engage our county and I'll give an example of an empowerment program together. Unfortunately we never received a lot of support from a county level but that doesn't discourage us. We will still continue moving forward with our agenda which basically is equipping the young people to enter the political space. So it's not really attached to the support and I think maybe this is the assignment that the young people should do that when it comes to political leadership we won't be given those positions on a silver plata so we should not have that expectation that because Pethon wants to buy for Senate or for MP in Embu that the current politicians will just give we know. So I think as we need to say that we need to be very aggressive and we need to be very strategic and very smart in regarding to championing the causes that we have as young people. So what we do we train and we equip young people because the government won't come to train young politicians so that they won't happen. So I think it's us the youth engaging with our fellow youth identifying the strengths and the weaknesses that we have and basically coming up together synergizing together for that particular cause because we are the majority and I think it's just that bold of action that we need. Alright and he has just mentioned that the older politicians will not come to tell you the path you should take but now how can the young people be effectively nurtured to participate in the national agenda in terms of leadership and who would be these mentors? Okay maybe I would expect the elder politicians pick one. For example the young MP from Meru I expect one of the elder MPs in his home would take him up take him through the leadership the way the structure of Kenya's government allow him to grow in this leadership so I think if leaders are not I'll use this one selfish you know your time is almost up you're going to go pick one young man or a lady mentor them to this to take up after you so I think that is lacking so much and maybe choose an example which may not be very good to people the embrace movement of the women they have decided they are going to take it we want 50% what about the youth also the remaining 50% maybe take 25% if you take that 50% where is the boy shout? it's 50% okay I have nothing against the boy child but you see the boy child will contest as a man but you already have the 50% so we are contesting against this other 50% so still the boy child has been left and this is the youth what should be done? I said an example I mean to actually use that get 50% it's still okay 50 women 50 men which is excellent if it comes in between there and there is no war actually women leadership is not a competition with men it's allowing a woman in her body in her nature in her esteem to participate don't tell me to just sit back because I am a woman I do not expect a man to tell me you were in the kitchen you're supposed to be there and I'm supposed to be here if I am able to let me be allowed the same as the youth if this youth is able has the competence because you just don't want any other leader any other youth because you are a youth to represent us you need to have character integrity so if all these things are there why not? alright Duncan what's your take? so actually my take on the same is that we as the youth we have been sidelined very much my sister has just spoken if we look on what is happening currently the young people were given power which we should be happy of but at the same time this young people we as the young people we have started just to say that they are not working they are our fellow youths so actually even if they are not at least they are not trying let us boost them on the same so the young parliamentarians they are the people who are supposed to help us because we are not in parliament they are supposed to help the young people so that they can bring deals you have asked my sister that for example where I come from what have we done as the young people to be included in governance you know what is happening is that these politicians the big fish you think they young because we are energetic and actually I can tell you a person who feeds your stomach controls you and that is what is happening on the ground so after an individual has been given something they usually call it hand out me I come on the ground that young person won't listen and that young person until we as the young generation realize that it is not all about the interest of the politician but the interest of all Kenyans and all young people so first of all you asked that how are we going to be empowered reaching these politicians after electing them we are the young people we can't reach them that is a fact so what you do after that so we don't have any option we plan for the next general election so that we can say let us choose the person who is on our age who has those leadership qualities who can represent us who we can reach at any given point okay that's a very good point because actually we have seen that we have people out there who are elected and they forgot about the young people they used even to throw stones now Python yeah it's true they were throwing stones after the election because some of them were not satisfied discrimination, corruption and some of bureaucratic policies have really bad young people from holding offices what do you think should be done moving forward let me speak about maybe corruption and the money factor that affects our politics that's number one if I am a young person and I'm buying against a big politician with a lot of money chances are that the money factor will affect the electoral process and I think my my way forward is and I still go to Vinny's point that we need to know our strengths if I know that 2022 I'll be buying I don't need to start in 2021 and I think as much as we are blaming the old politicians I think we as young people are to blame ourselves when I know that I'm planning to buy I need also to plan myself if I don't have the money and I have the vision in me then I need human resource I need people to help me and so sometimes I feel that aggressive because as we have mentioned it will not take you just saying that I want to be included in the political space you will have to sacrifice and it will cost you a lot so I think for the young people regardless of the opportunities we have not been given I think it's up to us to also get to ask ourselves nini nini tunataka na kenye tunini tunataka na generation year 2 and so when we have asked that question then we will know the work that is supposed to be done and then we will start doing it so to a large extent I think we as CC we are the people to blame because we have not been bold enough and we have not been courageous enough and for the young parliamentarians this is my plea for an old politician it will be hard for an old politician to leave his business to work with you but for the young politicians they owe it to their young fellows and young politicians too hold someone's hand kama dankana na takakuvai please babawinum shikiliye sakaja shikiliya because it is the young people who will empower the young people and it is us ourselves who will make a name for ourselves all right when Pithon has mentioned about finances and indeed this is an impediment to most of the young people in terms of campaigning and also there is that policy when you come see a governor you need to have or to be this kind of a person in terms of your worth but also there is this factor of education before we begin I just give you an example of maybe someone is in the rural he does very good an example in a society kofi society those who come from where kofi is planted we have a person who is a chairman he never went to school but he is performing wonders he can't hold any office because he has no education background such policies have bad many youths from holding offices what do you think should be done as a youth what if you take up that policy it is barring me what can I do to jump this policy I'll be ahead of the policy I can go back to school I'm still young get the desired qualification and then go for that seat however we know they are leaders who are leaders by themselves in stature whether with education or not so I'm thinking this policy needs to have to be checked again so as to allow the youth with different dynamics to also be included on the table so I think the youth just need to come out and express themselves even as this policy is made maybe someone would have said this is barring this and this particular set of group how about we checking again in this policy so I'm thinking it's possible whether with the policy or not alright our population constitute of youth and women being the majority but the question still remains why haven't we taken over why haven't we what is the role of the youth in the economic development especially in the urban centers thank you for asking that question and I was really hoping that you ask something in that line so tell you yes we are majority as young people and as women and I'm happy to be speaking for both for being youth and being a woman and the truth is like I said before you just don't wake up one morning and go for political leadership because let me ask you so tell me the three biggest political parties in Kenya today one Odium Jubilee any other Waipa who are the party leaders all men right at least all the men that is where the problem starts that we have persons political parties in Kenya are not just vehicles to help you ascend to power but their individual property to people like I wouldn't go into Odium right now and you know rise as I am expected to because there's a lot of politics within the political parties that does not easily allow young people to get into it and one of the things is the financial support like the financial resources that you need money to get into the party you need money to start campaigning you need money to run around you need everything and the Rayang person who is only 20 with this big vision of being a member of parliament for your area so the truth is young people have good ideas they have the time they have the energy just because they do not have connections to the political parties so this problem is very deep in the way out for me for young people to decide and say now we've seen where the problem is that is political parties just part of the problem and the fact that we do not have enough resources but also it is high time for us to now say I actually agree with you when you say that we need to throw ourselves out there that let's throw ourselves out there but not only as individuals we come as a team and say as young people we are about 290 who are going to vary for these posts in our different areas so that when we meet in Bunga we have a critical mass because it's not point of having an individual 2 or 3 young people to get into power and then once you get into parliament you can't change any bill you can't strengthen any you can't pass anything so it's not just about having specific young people to get up there but we need to have a critical mass so many of us so that when you get into parliament we are conscious enough and you can be able to introduce and pass bills as needed alright I'm afraid our time is up I didn't know we had a lot of time but anyway your final comments I'll begin with you Duncan what do you think or what is the future of the youth and by the way what would happen if we have maybe a 30 year old person becoming the president briefly as we finish for now I can say the future of the youth is luminous and if we we as the young people realize that we have elected leaders who are our mentors and they've become tormentors then we should kick them out and if we elect a young person then I'm sure the future of this country will go for because he or she the young person will bring new ideas on the table which can help this country alright I've had that arming was our mentors becoming our tormentors they should be here alright we for me it's very simple this is the time this is the time for us to take over and literally taking over everywhere they've been showing an example as in the political space for the last 30 years and I felt personally offended when one of our senior persons in this country Mudia Worifu for God's sake sometimes you get a point where you need to rest, you need to relax so I think for me everybody who has been in this for this long it has not changed anything this is our time and as young people let's get up and stop complaining let's now just stop organizing, let's start organizing and move it forward it's unfortunate they don't retire they always give in later duties alright, tweet me and yes I think the youth is a high time we come out from behind the scenes we'll be in front of the scenes actually make the scenes change the scenes to our own liking to what we can handle and let us support each other if Winnie is able why shouldn't I support her but we also need to look at integrity not just any other youth because any other youth will come and we just follow the other trend but a youth who has integrity it's possible if a country can vote in a DJ Kenya can vote in a youth 30 years or even below wonderful, Python your final answer yes so every generation has this opportunity so the young people who are there in the 80s 90s they fought for multi-party democracy and so it is us I think we are the ones who have been equipped with the tools of fighting tribalism and corruption so we not only just need young people as Anna said but we need young people who are visionary like the likes of Tom Boyle and Thomas Ankara we also need young people who have values and young people who are above reproach and they have character so I believe that it's not just about just removing the old politicians but also trying to tell them that we are not only addressing the issues of the young people but you also addressing the issues national issues from health from education to corruption and everything else so I totally believe that this is our time for Vigiano Wongozini and this is the time for the young people to take power and just to decide the destiny of this great nation of Kenya alright thank you so much ladies and gentlemen for coming they have been my guest Duncan who has said mentors who are tormenting us should be let go and Winnie an activist she is saying time is now and if we voted which country voted for the DJ then we can have our 30 year old as president that is Winnie that's Ann Mwangi and Pithon we believe time is now many things for keeping it Y25 for coming up next is Y Mashariki DJ Tiska is very much ready and Ken Relbis who will be joining him later in the program my name is Dereva Hillary I will see you again probably tomorrow have yourself a very good night


So one thing that's been bugging me for a second is if you notice that ruby cabernet It's green Ruby is a reddish color So I clearly I want to fix it. I want to adjust that a little bit. So how would I go about doing that? Well, one of the things I can do is I can simply click on the pie chart If I click on it just like all the other elements inside of the chart it becomes highlighted Now the problem is every single one of my slices are highlighted as well So what do I have to do if I click on the slice I want to adjust? Only that one becomes highlighted. So now only my green slices highlighted now It doesn't matter if I use this paint bucket or I go into the format tab and use its paint bucket Either one's gonna work But again that paint bucket icon if I look for that that gives me a slew for all the colors Just like when I was filling in Microsoft Word or now in Microsoft Excel filling the background to cells. This is exactly what it does It allows me to assign any new color that I want to it I'll pick this dark red that just makes it a little bit more of a cleaner motif in my opinion And so you can see we can stand out a little bit more if I want to adjust another color say for example I don't like the fact that I've got two blues Maybe I might take this blue Again, you see it highlighted itself and I'll give it maybe a dark green and so now okay now nothing looks the same Well, what about that column chart as well these guys right here? Well, again, let's say I'm gonna click on just the blue column chart any one of them The matter which one but one of them you're gonna notice that all of them get highlighted and so I can do the same thing I could come up here and I could do the paint bucket and you notice all of them are going to change But one of the other options that we have is we have this format selection button now that format selection button what that does is It pulls up a new dialog box as you can see That sort of gives me some options of what to format and what I can do with that Not just change its color, but say change for example the overlap You notice my columns are slowly changing. So suddenly now all of a sudden My colors are actually superimposed a little bit. There's they're staggered a little bit more I can make a little bit less of a gap with and So you can see I can actually start to change how these columns and this data gets represented visually as well as just kind of in our own heads I mean as I trained through these you can see I can give them an effect. I can give them, you know some silly Shadow I wouldn't really recommend shadows. We're in the flat UI world nowadays, but again, I can change the color as well I could give it a pattern Look at that patterns. I could give it a gradient There's a good one There I could give it a good Radiant color or I could just go with the simple solid color and pick whatever You know my heart works with the best
