Welcome everybody. First of all, I want to thank you all for coming such a late hour. My name is Marco Hennig. I'm working with Iwola, a consulting company in Germany delivering services all around automation and the cloud and today I will be talking about PASS versus CAS topic which gained a lot of interest in the last years and obviously still left a few questions unanswered and In this regard, I'm going to briefly talk about the historical context which brought us here the evolution of software delivery Why this became a problem? Respectively what the problem is we have with the current platform and container oriented approaches and in the end I will look more broadly into How we utilize the more application oriented PASS or the container centric CAS will look into a few decision drivers on a technical as well as organizational level and use cases for the individual scenario So let's begin modern software development is subjected to continuous change development cycles Continued to a bright more and more while at the same time Requirements for features as well as reliability tend to increase So we have a few opposing goals here Which may be not be realized by a one-size-fits-all solution instead This often would be the opposite of what companies really want which is flexibility and agility to cater for the market's needs However in order to get here we had to jump a few hoops with the first being of course bare metal and virtual machines which both had to care for the whole stack By yourself comprising overhead as well as slow development times on multiple levels For then the thing called cloud appeared that the horizon and with it came the as a service movement Resources formally located inside your own data center were now outsourced and enabled to be accessed on demand which all began of course at the Infrastructure layer which offered virtualization of someone else's hardware when you need it You could deploy new new virtual machines Terminate them when you're done with them and only pay For what you really use however This concept had still a flaw which was that it was based on virtual machines Which still needed the full operating system to be started with them keeping both Keeping the boot procedures too slow for on-demand operations and so the hypervisor was replaced by the container engine and Multiple standalone applications were able to be run in parallel including all the necessary dependencies like the code the runtime and settings Which they needed in order to run While they could share a single OS kernel So unlike the VM containers were most streamlined allowing you to deploy full Microservice stacks on your local machine therefore dramatically speeding up the deployment cycles, but These arising microservice architectures were much more diverse and complex They needed to be managed on multiple levels, which is why platform as a service Was introduced where you still got delivered all the data center infrastructure But on top of that the host OS in the middleware and runtime as well as back-end services like database management systems So it was a method and still is for delivering the capability to build and deploy your applications Focused completely on automation. You only had to develop the application and Leave the rest to the platform provider even the containers creation however the developer often wants more flexibility to create his own application with his choice of tools with Outbeing bound to the platform specific technologies and although these past offerings Relyed on container isolation you were not able to control the process of creating the container yourself now Container as a service came along falling somewhere between these IIS and past layer, but It is different in that it does not impose the complete workflow onto you instead it grants the autonomy To the developer by removing a superset of tools It's still all the pieces the container engine provides the cluster scheduler the load balancer and so on But instead of being opinionated about the way your container is created You may create your own images and you have more free to create your own workflows But why care I mean is it IIS is it pass it? Is it cars in the end it's still all the same thing under the hood lot of service in a big room Whether it's your own or someone else's basement, so what's the problem here? I think it's it's our goals It's what we want to achieve and how we want to do it not only is every company different has its own Processes its strength and weaknesses Especially each product we want to sell is different in nature and the way our software is built Calls for either one of these solutions to be utilized Pass and cast have proven themselves to be fitted for most Use cases we encounter at the moment, but we have to ask ourselves when do we use which or Can we deploy our software to either one of these? And then there are multiple Competitors for the throne of course which allow us to run your code in our own or the public data center So cloud foundry It's kind of why we are here this cloud agnostic platform which is supported and continuously developed by multiple vendors the full-scale solution which takes our artifact no matter if it's a container or Code and utilizes the built-in tool sets to deploy operate and scale our microservice architectures at different abstraction levels with the first being the application runtime which was primarily designed to support the fast delivery of cloud native apps with the source code supplied by the developer is Automatically converted into a full functional container and run by the platform by using built-in mechanisms buildpacks Image provisioning and many more the concept Surrounding these platform built containers offers a very high level abstraction. Therefore, you have to trade the platform awareness for a higher developer productivity but in order to also meet the Requirements of the developer who wants increased freedom and flexibility to build up his own Containers his own infrastructure and workflow the novelty was introduced last year here in Basel with the Container runtime the extension of cloud foundry in its original form by a more Kubernetes based architecture for the management of container workflows it utilizes the orchestrator in order to Automate the full deployment lifecycle from the development to the container operation. However Contrary to the concept of platform built containers the developer creates and maintains the container themselves So we have a very low level abstraction with high customization flexibility but with more responsibility on the developers end but What the advantage here? I mean you could just deploy kubernetes and you're good to go by yourself Not quite because you're missing out a few features by that You would still have to create your own virtual machine layer and manage the day two and one operations all by yourself So instead of the pain and suffering of manual labor and the associated Consequences is run on top of Bosch the open-source lifecycle management tool to create a more uniform way To instantiate deploy and manage your high availability clusters So CFCR gives users the customization of Variabilities of Kubernetes with the deployment and management power of Bosch therefore improving the experience for both the developer as Well as the operator this means close foundry gives you now the best of both worlds on the one hand We have a great application runtime for fast onboarding of cloud native apps And on the other hand a great container runtime when you need to deploy more generic low-level containers both share many similar features like Containerization and namespacing but their overall approaches for the deployment of your applications Differ greatly therefore no platform will be necessarily the best fit for every situation and Depending on your individual needs. It is fitted to be either placed on one of them or even both So there's still this one question in the room when to use which and I will go through a few distinctive characteristics now one of the most distinguishing ones is The Architectural style of your app every enterprise has a multitude of workloads They need to run and take care of big trend in the spectrum if the cloud native workload Which is destined to be run on pass by embracing all the features the platform provides by Utilizing the methodology of the 12 factors so Applications which are usually Agnostic regarding their environment meaning for example, they're able to support nodes without a fixed identity So if the note goes away, it may be detected recreated automatically and integrated back into the service without any hassle without The need to get the same IP for example They are distributed therefore allow for a high level of availability and they are high level I highly portable meaning they don't rely on rigid hardware components like GPU clusters for example But every component also has workloads which don't fit this term cloud native Which are the legacy apps or applications which are classified somewhere on the spectrum between the extremes These are not able to fully embrace this 12-factor methodology and therefore the past Capabilities to the fullest extent that top alert G may be less resilient to change since it's constructed more uniquely without a overall general framework dependencies or configuration options may be inherent in the code base and you may also encompass dependencies for hardware like SSDs or GPUs therefore rendering portability as well as horizontal scalability Infeasible for these workloads in the past you were able to run them directly in the IIS layer But now they may be leveled up to CFCR however, despite this classification it may be noted that cloud native applications don't need to be newly created from scratch But may also be achieved by gradually transforming an existing monolithic application This model for example is based on multiple stages, which you may integrate one by one depending where you stand in your application So you may decompose a complete monolithic app Into individual parts for example, which you may transform concurrently by themselves or you may decide to keep the current state you have and Integrate new features for example By adding them as microservices however depending on your current stage It might be a difficult process To embrace all the cloud native features and depending on your path provider It may be enough to only get it to a cloud ready state But no matter what you do The first and foremost you have to care for is the application state Which is probably the most important of these 12 factors our apps don't live alone Usually you have some kind of data which may be static But may also change over the course of the app's lifecycle Depending on the type of your app you may encounter one or multitude of data types Each to be handled differently for example data Which is utilized in order to run the app itself Which is only available inside the container comparable to what you have in RAM today Basically every kind of information you may throw away without the risk of any data loss Then we have the information Which may be utilized even beyond the containers lifecycle data which divides a cattle from a Beloved pet here. We have a further Division on the one hand data sources, which are directly attached to your container This is data we store on hard disk or in the sand for example today and On the other hand we have data which may reside inside External entities like for example databases no matter which kind of app you Data your app will utilize you need to consider the implications for the long-term operations the ease of implementation when using a database for example or Requirements for performance like spatial distribution between your app and the storage area Latency requirements as well as financial aspects like cost-efficient storage for seldomly used data In this regard both the app runtime as well as the container runtime Support multiple options for handling data accesses. However, the core differentiator here is The application the handling of stateful data Although you are able to attach Distributed file systems like NFS inside the app runtime single attach devices such as persistent hard disks block devices Still remain a problem due to limited scheduling guarantees in this regard the container runtime differentiate itself by its ability to attach persistent storage to a container via Staple sets and you even may define storage classes like HDD or SSDs for performance optimizations So after this you may look into how your application is built up every app at its core is based on code You may and should Utilize a runtime or framework which is supported by the platform of your choice in the app runtime The artifact pushed is the code itself During the deployment procedure then build packs are responsible for transforming it into a droplet Which the platform will utilize in order to run the application. However, the platform is rendered to be polyglot language support will Depend on the build packs provided by it indeed these exist for all major languages. However, very special better versions or Custom use cases may not be supported directly. For example the integration of certificates into your Java environment Therefore requiring ring you to extend the build pack or build up a new one from scratch And There you have to consider that this will require a level of future maintenance such as pulling updates or updating the source code of your build pack You have to consider these long term Options Especially if the build pack won't be utilized at very large scale Therefore having to evaluate if containerization might be more feasible for the you here the operating system as well as the runtime Support are defined directly by the developer build container. Therefore, you're more free to integrate Components as needed for the trade-off is that more Responsibility is on the developer's end regarding future updates as well as configuration effort for constructing the image and You may have a hard time of standardization across multiple instances, which you may encounter counteract with new processes You might establish So the idea of build packs is it just works and this counts for the majority of use cases However, not for these special edge cases where you want to use very unique aspects or rely on very strict Version components, which are not supported by your provider Now that you have your app up and running you may require to utilize external services to like databases or caches in This regard the open server a service broker API has been included in both run times it's allowed it allows for the controlled management of the services lifecycle including the deployment management and utilization of external services Enabling you to focus on your code instead of the integration of these resources This is done simply by calling the service broker through a marketplace or service catalog Depending which platform you're on you simply look up what the catalog has to offer Then you can provision the instance and easily bind to the service Accessing the credential through your environment For services, which are not available in the marketplace Like already existing databases you may utilize the concept of user-provided services in the app runtime or in the container Runtime you may integrate the configuration data by secrets or config maps Which are injected into the container. So in the end it doesn't really matter which platform you utilize here There's always a way to offer the service availability as long as your company supports it So now that you have set up you need to configure your application With the app runtime the layers of configuration are pretty small like shown here exemplary for the load balancer You basically just set up your manifest file and you're good to go while You have a few more nuts and bolts with a container run time to care for You're able to configure your setting on multiple levels And even inside these levels you have a further division for services So for example, you can configure different options like cluster IP node ports load balancer if you created Not taken into account the surrounding concepts like replica sets proxies stateful sets So again, you will have much more plumbing to care for which gives you more flexibility but at the cost of higher maintenance and more steeper learning curve and Yeah, so that you know how the coach at look and How it's built up you may look into the difference of actually Developing and deploying it and so the application runtime. It's pretty simple. You just Push your code via CF push CLI gets uploaded the platform cares for the rest like detecting The required runtime setting up routes monitoring and service bindings Inside the container runtime on the other hand you will have a again a few more Switches you can Configure First of all, you need to create your image define all the individual components the application may consist of Like replica sets proxies stateful sets for your storage needs and the exposure of endpoints You may create a manifest use Helping tools like helm for example, then it has to be pushed to the containers registry and run by cube cuddle the CLI of the Container runtime Before you will have to expose your endpoint manually So you have a lot more interactive steps on this side, which I needed in order to get up and running But you will have more control and these steps You may take out of your hands by implementing a CICD pipeline for example When you are up and running you may want to test your code to First thing first your local environment Will not exactly look the same as your productive environment when you use build packs small changes might be Encountered libraries versions. However, this is only a problem if you really depend on these versions a common way For testing with production conditions would be to set up a special staging area Which you may Test your code in isolated from the customers with your head if you're happy with it you may switch the route to your application and Put it into production a simple blue green deployment here The downside would be that the push may take a little bit longer than locally and the staging result is kind of a Black box where you have a little bit less control and insight therefore the troubleshooting might take longer So with a container again You will have more control because you may install Docker locally on your own machine You can be certain that it will run exactly as in production So you can tweak what you want and have quicker feedback loops, but it's also more work Since you have to care for many steps by yourself And then you will have your day two operations for example You might hit a CVE which has to be mitigated while utilizing a build pack the developer Won't have to care for anything since he only provides the application code The operator on the other hand will upload a new release and redeploy everything Automatically afterwards every container will be updated is secure and ready to go a Convenient way for the separation of concerns between ops and devs In case of containers, of course while the operators one basically doing Nothing or not much the developer cares for every level of this stack Therefore, of course the patching to since it's usually not the case You might have to enforce new processes in order to for the developer to recognize CVE's in the first place Then it's up to him to patch the images pull the updates push it back into the registry and restate the applications before the Vulnerability is mitigated so new processes again and more responsibility on the developer side and Then there might be the situation When you buy a service at a provider, but you're unhappy with the general situation So you want to port your app to another provider but You're some more how tied to the infrastructure or specifics of your current provider Which is a place you really don't want to be in However, with both build packs as well as images This is a pretty easy thing to do with build packs You have heroku you have pivotal and many other vendors to choose from you may require minimal code changes But in general, there's nothing to your app. That's specific to build packs with containers It's even easier since they work anywhere a Container engine may run be it Kubernetes OpenShift and others It's not that different than writing an app that works on your local machine so in both cases you have a big ecosystem and platforms you can port your app to and You will of course encounter The point of onboarding your teams. I've seen many people having a hard time adapting to Change or making themselves familiar with new technologies So in order to introduce new and complex technologies, you have to make sure that everybody is happy and everybody is on board Or the project is just bound to fail Getting started with Kubernetes on the one hand. It's not that easy It's not like you can read a five-minute quick start guide and you're up and running There are just too many things you have to know For basic onboarding you have to learn how to deploy Explorer scale and update your app, but there's many components and concepts Inside the Kubernetes world you will have to familiar familiarize yourself with with parts state for sets replica sets And so on and so on getting started with cloud foundry And on the other hand is easy your devs already know how to develop the spring boot apps their Java apps PHP They already know what their artifacts are and may already have pipelines in place They just have to do the same thing in the cloud, which isn't much more than Learning how to define your manifest files So if you mainly develop server based applications in Java and Node.js or so the application runtime Gets you to the cloud sim more simply quickly and allegedly So When is which one best fitted the app runtime favors opinionated simplicity over complex Flexibility it offers fantastic support for 12 factor apps and micro services But storage needs can be provided by external services, but Stateful apps may have a hard time however So it deals with new applications cloud native apps like web and micro services API eyes App that run fine on build packs, especially when you work with short life cycles and frequent releases With a container runtime, you're much more flexible, but encounter a higher complexity Maybe leading to decrease productivity in the end It offers better support for stateful apps as well as the integration of specific customization requirements for example if you run two containers tied to each other in one data center or on one node Give you distance and higher performance when these are factors you need to care for Or if you want to utilize specific hardware like SSDs or GPUs So it's ideal for third-party apps, which are already package data services Large legacy applications if a high customization is required Certain services must run together or specific hardware requirements are in place so you have to consider multiple aspects with the Application state being the most important of course, but even then you will have to look for specific needs That's the platform of your choice Support all the technical aspects your product wants like hardware dependencies UDP or so and Finally, do you have the manpower? Otherwise, you need to level up your ops team in summary the question path versus cans Can be answered directly and once and for all The bottom line is that it doesn't have to be an either or decision It can and has to be an end in order to accommodate for every use case you will encounter Which you have to however evaluate Individually don't hesitate to transform your applications the cloud native way and with that I would like To end this talk leave you all for the final coffee break. Thanks very much and have a safe trip home You


YouTube let's talk about theme teams as my team just came off a huge dub All right boys Let's talk about theme teams if you've been living under a rock theme teams are a feature EA put in the game where if you add Enough players of one team to your team it boost them up Everybody on that team get boosted if you have 25 of one team it boost their speed by one point and you get 50 of one team now boost their speed by two points and Speed is king speed always will be and when I think about a theme team The speed I want is on my wide receivers and my DB's I don't want to give up big plays and I want to make big plays with post route streaks Even drags if my wide receivers are faster than their second day. I can score easier simple. That's where it matters, man Linebackers the linemen it had the speed helps on everybody even all offensive linemen But all in all you want to know your wide receivers in your DB So the best theme team is dictated by who are the best wide receivers in the game Right, so it's been Raiders theme team for a while pretty much since Jerry Rice came out It's probably but at least a month since Jerry Rice came out and he was 96 speed with the plus two from a theme team And plus two from the strategy cards So he had nice so he was he kind of carried the Raiders theme team and then once you add in Randy Moss and then flip it on the defense with the Charles Woodson Haynes Ronnie Lotz those guys it just really boost up the Raiders, but We have had a major shift now this shift has been going on for about a week or two Since Brandon Marshall came out since a plexical burst, but the real thing that really put it over the top was Robbie Anderson now if you guys haven't seen this Robbie Anderson He is a limited card. He is The Panthers wide receiver who used to play for the Jets So if you combine the Brandon Marshall the Robbie Anderson the Plexical Burris, those are three Jets wide receivers So if you want to put all those on the team and boost them up, okay Now me I was still Raiders up. I was still raided up, but This week this weekend if you guys Realize Kishan Johnson dropped and not only the Kishan Johnson dropped. He is a route running archetype What does that mean that means he gets all route running abilities for cheaper route tech slot apprentice outside apprentice? Short-end mid-end slot omatic all this stuff.  This guy is the complete package He's probably the best wide receiver in the game right now. So we took our Raiders theme team balled it up Throw it in the trash. Let me show you what I did. I went to Jets Also, the Cowboys are pretty good because they got Kishan. They got a CD lamb. They got Byron Jones They have a lot of corners Dion Sanders came out So the Cowboys have a solid theme team the Giants have a solid theme team with Plexical Marshall and that new slot receiver that They have a Frituny whatever his name is that guy that they took because they couldn't get the Vante Smith Giants fans. I know Yeah, but So the Giants have a decent team and the Patriots have a decent team with Moss Brandon cooks Antonio Brown the Patriots have a really good theme too, but I went Jets because like I told you the speed on why receiver matters Let me show you what I got This is the offense Remember we need 50 Jets and when you have 50 Jets you have to think okay What players can play because when you have 50 of one team, that's a lot of your cards That's a lot of your cards out there. So you have to find some people that can actually play on the offensive line That's where we'll start. We have Fannick who actually has left tackle Kevin he can play left tackle with his chem So we put him there and then you want to put all back up all your backup offensive linemen need to be Jets They get that 50 mark, but then we have this new guy does rookie I believe Elijah Vera Tucker who's actually on play left guard new harvest card pretty solid That's great. We have two offensive linemen that can play so that's great for a theme team And then we come over here Kelvin Beachham can play right tackle as well. So you have three offensive linemen that are just I'll be honest though The tackles are not really that good, you know, I'd love to have Joe Thomas and you know, Lottell Collins the best tackles but For theme team purposes these guys will get it done Three tight ends that don't play, but they're all Jets.  We have Josh Allen still We're using Kamara. So right here. You got to think about what players do you have that aren't Jets? You can own there's only so many spots you can have that aren't Jets Kamara Josh Allen take up two of them I use Kamara because he's receiving back and get half back master from one AP then our Y receivers We're looking at Kieshawn Johnson in the slot. This the guy told you about Absolutely, Studley. We got route tech and deep out on him. You see he has 98 speed Look at those route runnings with the plus four We get two from the Jets and we get two from the deep-out strategy cars that we've had all year Just I mean that right there That's that's probably the best why I'm receiving the game right now Mostly because he's a route running archetype and it costs three AP for me to have deep out and route tech That's just a steal then this is this is pretty much the cherry on top is That 99 you see that 99 and not only is it a 99. It's a six foot three 99. This is a big body He's slim, but six foot three 99 speed with that 98 speed those two guys are just Super studs on this Jets theme team and then we go over to our third wide receiver Just when you thought it was a little it was too good. You go ahead with six foot five 97 speed Brandon Marshall with that 98 deep route running. I mean those three actual trees girthy wide receivers are what makes this Jets theme team so good now The downside of this the defense is a little bit. It's not as good as the Raiders. It's not we don't have Haynes and Woodson We actually have safeties playing corner right now if you take a look at my team We have Vilma say how all these guys are Jets they have they have Jonathan Abraham is the one defensive player That's actually gonna play a lot But we'll have Ed Reid that's a super boost. I you guys know how much I love Ed Reid He's an absolute stud as we take a look at 97 speed. I mean Boys Ed Reid is without a doubt the best safety in the game for me And then we have we're actually gonna use Justin Simmons. This is one of our players now my second day I'm really experimenting with a lot of players this Justin Simmons card. I like he's a big body He's got good speed great zone a little bit of hip power. I like this card I look he's played pretty well for me, but I just started but he's a he's in the trial period And we're gonna go down here and then we'll put Ronnie lot at corner Ronnie lot you see you guys don't know Ronnie lot played for the Jets. So he gets just to he's also at 97 speed 95 zone 94 hip power and he's at corner. So he can study I play zone a lot So him being a corner is okay because I don't use that 82 man coverage because I play zone probably 99% of the game And then we have Marcus may Marcus may as a safety, but we're gonna put him in corner I'll be honest. He hasn't played that good a corner for me. Hasn't but 96 speed 96 zone he actually has good man coverage and he can pop a little bit six-foot tall So he's not a midget, but he's not a big body So that's my second day. I'm working with you know, so we have Jonathan Abram will play him Bryce Hall I actually have John Lynch to his jets because you need to put your team captain somewhere and then over here We'll hide we'll hide our other pass rushers Aaron Donald Lawrence Taylor and Troy Palamalu So these guys don't affect my real lineup because they're not jets So we'll just put them here in your specialist position. That way they don't get counted Towards your jets. You still have our 50 50 just matter of fact, let me take a look at what we actually do have over here 50 50 jets in the zone 8 out of 4 deep route specialist That gives my what I'd receiver speed in the zone gives my DB speed. That's it right there. Boom You see it now another thing you can do that I don't do is Actually have the jerseys for the jets, but I still got to rock my Eagles jerseys because we are a playoff bound team to fill up the Eagles So Gotta rock the jerseys. That's my team. That's what I got.  Just stay tuned to the YouTube one upload tons of YouTube with this team I mean 99 speed 98 speed 97 speed 6 foot 3 6 foot 4 6 foot 5 That's girth. That's that's legitimate size and speed a wide receiver That's why I went to the jets. Let me know what theme team you're rocking at this point of year Everybody's creeping on the 99 speed. It's crazy. It's not even December and we're creeping on 99 speed Game's gonna be dead sooner than later because of this 99 speed for it really is it's gonna hurt the game But here we are what am I supposed to do not have the 99 speed if it's out there go get it That's why you do it and one thing that people bring up 25 25 you guys might do be doing 25 25 I've seen 25 Raiders 25 jets 25 Niners 25 jets for me You want the maximum boost? So I want that maximum boost. I don't want to mean as your boost now If you want a miniature boost that's cool. I respect it not gonna knock it But for me if I can get my office of players with a maximum boost I'm gonna take that over the rest of the team. So let me know what theme team you're rocking That's a major upgrade. I will tell you the jets theme team a lot of limits I still don't even have full Jamal Adams who's a super player on this team. I have 95 speed Jamal I need to get that team in a week Jamal. He's like 2 million coins Robbie Anderson's like a million Brandon Marshalls Like a million key shines like a million this team is expensive. It is but you know It's not make or break. You don't need 99 speed 98 speed. Of course it helps I mean, yeah, but if you're out there making plays you're getting things done.  And that's how I feel but it is expensive So but other teams not it's not as expensive at all You know, you can still stay with Raiders is still very viable Randy Moss is probably still the best why receiver in the game, but That is my theme team tune in the twitch keep liking the YouTube videos were closing in on 30,000 subs boys Feeling good feeling good tiktok as well tons of tons of content flooding on there coming on Thanksgiving break I hope you guys are still enjoying Madden before we get to these 99 speeders boys


Now, in pastoral situations, many times people will come and will say, I've been praying about this for years. I've been urgent in prayer about it. And we as pastors don't have an instant or easy answer for that.  There is no easy answer. Prayer is not a slot machine where you just put a coin in and get an answer straight out. However, part of the mystery of the kingdom breaking in is that though there are dark forces ranged against us, God the Father is merciful and wants us to be part of his ongoing purposes. Prayer is not just sending up a message in the hopes of something vaguely happening. Prayer is actually becoming, taking up our dignity as human beings. God has wanted from the very beginning in Genesis 1 to work in his world through obedient, wise human beings. Prayer is part of that stewardship. It's part of the way the world is supposed to work. The reason we don't understand it is that we're not very good at even thinking of living at the overlap of heaven and earth. But that's what prayer is all about. And in that moment, in that place, verse 11, Jesus says, if your son asks you for a fish, is there a father among you who will give him a snake? Or if you ask for an egg, will you give him a scorpion? And he says, OK, you are evil, but you do know how to give good gifts to your children, how to feed them healthy stuff. How much more will your Heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him? It's a very interesting little twist there that's in Luke's version of this saying. It's not just the Father giving good gifts to those who ask him. It's the Father giving the Holy Spirit to those who ask him. As though the Holy Spirit contains all other possible good gifts that the Father might want to give us. So that whatever it is we're asking for, ultimately this is a prayer for the Holy Spirit. And within the gift of the Holy Spirit to seek healing, to seek food, to seek refuge, to seek reconciliation, whatever it is that we need. Very powerful teaching on prayer. And I suspect, as I've said, that most of us, most of the time, need to be reminded of it. However regular and faithful we are in our daily and weekly praying, we probably all need to up our game a bit. And Luke 11 is a very good place to start as we go about it.


You're not even ready about a year ago. I think I made a video called I suck at pranks Julian likes to prank me a lot He thinks it's very funny and people always ask me to prank him back and I tried one time and it was terrible But awesome, you know People keep asking me to just keep trying You know the only way to get better at something is just to try Julian's at the hair salon He's gonna be there for a little while So I was thinking of what I could do to prank him and it's the end of August right now And I want to prank Julian, but I also love Julian, you know What would you do for someone that you love in August? You would make it Christmas in August. Good idea Jenna I like where this is going. Well, I mean don't get too excited. Okay. I gotta execute it So when I was in college, I really wanted to decorate our apartment But I didn't have any money to buy decorations or like, you know Any resources really all I had was just a bunch of like old homework and papers and stuff that I'd save because I didn't use my Laptop in college.  I'm aging myself here before all my roommates came home I sat down and I took all my old papers and stuff and cut them into snowflakes and hung them from the ceiling and They were like well land in here. I'm like, I know I'm so good at decorating and also being resourceful because I don't have any money So what I wanted to do is recreate that and try and maybe like dress like Santa or something and just Make it Christmas in August for Julian when he gets home from getting his hair done and surprise him and prank him So I think step one I'm going to try and do it in this room The ceilings are so high like I haven't decided how I'm gonna get snowflakes up there I should do a test one first. So I watched one new YouTube tutorial and lost my patience and gave up Oh, this is bad. So I'm gonna try this method where I've tied a string to the snowflake I'm gonna try and shoot it on the ceiling. So here we go. Oh Okay, so when this comes shooting out the gun the string makes it all wonky and then it's not a clear shot And it won't stick we got a rethink so I have a new plan Julian's gonna walk in the front door I am thinking of sliding down the stairs and some fantastic Santa fashion He's gonna see this room and this room is gonna be Christmas I'm gonna get built in these snowflakes.

There we go That's what I'm talking about getting the spirit want to dress up like Santa Claus I don't have anything and it's the middle of the fall.  I remembered one other present I want to give Julian. It's a surprise though. All right, he's coming.   I made you a menorah So happy Hanukkah, but I didn't I'm not sure if I spelled it right, so I just But this is not you can light it But I also didn't want to be disrespectful and light it like when it wasn't Sarely Hanukkah Fucking got you come over here look look what Santa has brought you Why don't you open the the big one first Oh My camera literally just died this really and did that I bought this for myself No, I bought this like two days ago for my son Santa got that for you be grateful.

I'm focused not on in-game kinetic kill. I'm focused primarily on the policy for what we must have in-game kinetic kill but more broadly for developing capabilities such as the use of the electromagnetic spectrum, non-kinetic effectors to deny and deceive in limited area or wide area defense capabilities to include the use of autonomous unmanned platforms with domain awareness capabilities that could be maritime and airborne.


everyone and welcome. My name is Melissa Armell and I own the Stock Swoosh. And I wanted to talk a little bit about preparation. Preparation leads to success. Why? Because if you are going to day trade the market and have absolutely no idea what you're going to do on that day, what stock you're going to trade, what direction you're going to trade it, what you're going to do as far as a strategy or setup, then you're not prepared. And the chances of you making money in the market are zero. So you want to be as prepared as possible. So part of that preparation for me is going through my process of rating the gap and filling out the gap worksheet every morning that I have for my 26 points before I trade. So I have a rating system and I prepare each day by filling out the worksheet well before the open. Now, what else helps me prepare? Going through 26 points. I mean, some people say, well, that's a lot. Once you do it, do it, do it, it becomes habitual. And you can go through the points very quickly in a few seconds or a few minutes. If you're new, it may take you five minutes to go through all of them. But the thing is that that is really getting you prepared. If I could go through 126 points in the morning to be prepared, if I had that many points figured out, I would. The more prepared I am, the more money I'm going to make. And the higher odds of success I have in my favor, most people that trade the market, and this is true, 100% true, most people that trade the market do not prepare enough before they trade. And most people do not put the amount of preparation that I put into trading beforehand. So even people that do prepare ahead of time do not go through 26 points. I don't know anyone that looks at that many things before they determine that they're going to trade in the day. That's a huge amount of things. So when you were sitting down preparing, part of that may be having your desk all set up, closing your office door, having breakfast, having a cup of coffee, scanning, looking at the market, checking the news. All of those things can help you prepare too. And putting yourself in the right mindset, get making sure you get enough sleep.  And it really, really helps you know what to do next. Because when the market opens, when 9.30 comes, if you are all over the place and you don't know what you should be focusing on, you will get distracted. You will get distracted by noise, by the phone, by a text. You will look at several different stocks that will all look good. And you won't have any set thing where you have your eye on. I call it 100% conviction. But in my mind, that decision making, that full-on preparation that I do before the open is really one of the biggest keys to my success. And it's the 26 points. It's determining what stock I want to do, which is in my system that I prepare for. But all of that process helps me become successful on a live day after I decide to do the chain. Or if I decide there isn't anything good.  Guess what? Then you're prepared not to trade, which is even something you have to prepare deciding your mind ahead of time, too. Because a lot of times you look at things and you look at charts and you think, well, this looks really, really, really, really good. But it's not. It wasn't good before the open. It's not good now. You've got to set yourself up to be as prepared as you can to be successful when you're trading the market. And I'm telling you, preparation is key. The more prepared you can be to trade, the better off you will be. And sometimes when I see something at night, if something, if I see a gap at night, which I don't always look, okay? Because I usually like to rate the gaps in the morning, but every once in a while, I'm anticipating something, working in the way that I wanted to in the evening and I will look at it at night. And then I'm even, then I have a whole night in my line to prepare for the next day. And that's amazing. So the key to everything I'm telling you is be prepared, go for it once you see the setup in the live day, but the preparation is key. So if you'd like more information on what I do in my class, I teach a class that's called the Golden Gap course. The class is August 18th and 19th from nine to five Eastern time. Cost of the class is 54.99. The class is online.


All right. Hi. Hi, my name is Ben. Hi. Nice to meet you. Been nice meeting you. Yeah So I'm here today because I have a couple things that I was hoping to talk to you. Sure about One of them is personal sure and the other ones are a project that I've been working on To show you But the first one is so I've I've lived in Taiwan for 11 years now and I Have been hoping to apply for citizenship here So I've been trying to go with a route of the high level for a professional, but recently I had my application rejected. Yeah I I'm not sure why they didn't give me a lot of feedback So you already put a little on the lesson card. No, I have a PRC Yeah, yeah, so I mean you're familiar with the process. Yeah, of course. Of course. I am and so yeah so I'm wondering They told me that I could read why of course you could and so I put together a new application I'm just wondering if you'd be willing to walk through the process read the well Just read the cover letter that I put together and see What you think it's missing and why it was possibly rejected Because they wouldn't offer many details. They just say Did you go to your local household registration on the fast track? Because you already have a PRC. Yeah, but that would require renunciation, right? Renunciation no, no, no, no It's a new policy to see like this renunciation free application also Is now taken care of by the minister in fear. Yeah, so instead of going through MOE a or an LST if you already Have a PRC then that means that the who call the household registration desk will be able to just take your application Send a kind of verification letter to the minister in charge But they do not have to convene a council Okay to evaluate like they wash and board has been simplified Okay, they just have to reply saying I look like to us and then the who call our registration We'll be able to get back to you And this is me like as of this year. Wow, okay, I didn't know about that Yeah, because what I've been trying to do is get a recommendation letter from MOST and then have to go to the boy and get that approved But they you know Okay, okay, I'll have to try this thing But yeah, I welcome any feedback you have on the on the letter and you know what you think it's missing or what what could be improved I think this is pretty good and really the the fact is that the simplification process already Predicates its kind of criteria on the permanent residence So if you already have a permanent residence Not only there's no panel review required, but actually the recommendation letters are optional anyway Really, but of course it helps it's an event But yeah, so it's a real simplification of the process basically saying that a PRC over who work for one of the profession that we consider high professional Like talent for talent, whatever the term that it uses is almost automatically qualified for naturalization without reconciliation and it's always a new direction for them a lot Which is why they bear willing to serve as kind of the one stops desk for this kind of application at the household registration Yeah, that's just oh, that's awesome. Okay. That's cool. I will go talk to them See what they say That's really that's really good to hear. Okay cool To the to the new Process and I'll just email it to you. It was raining. Oh, it's a B. Homnic B. H. O. M. M. I see okay, okay Gmail, okay You How do I connect to the Wi-Fi? Sure si lab, you know, I think that that one is free. Oh, there's a triple-in-edge Wi-Fi There we go, okay, so I want to I want to show you project Yeah, so I love I love hiking And I know with the with the pandemic it's getting more and more popular people are going out and But I feel like there's not a lot of really good English language resources for going hiking So what I've done is I put together this site Yeah, so it's it's called peaks of Taiwan and the idea is that it's going to be route guides and Hiking information that covers all 100 of Taiwan's by yet so At this point basically, you know, the the framework is done the website's done and it uses You know CC images from Flickr The GPX data is crowdsourced. So it's it's it's kind of cool You know and it has Tools for like finding routes that you think would be good, you know, I need I need public transport I need an easy route. Okay. I can go up snow mountain Okay, right easy easiest one It's for everyone, it's for everyone. Yeah Do you hike at all? No You climb I tried but the last time I tried even to on the elephant mountain or the Yangming Mountain is There's just so many people taking pictures with me. Yeah, I can't really climb either up or down too much of a celebrity Yeah, so so I think I mean I think the Like it includes all the information right public transport how to get departments cabin information photos The recommended itinerary the GPX you can put on your on your GPS unit with with all the information in Chinese and English But can you apply for the cabins here? You can't apply for the cabins, but it has links for doing that. So for instance, there's a section, right? Here's here's the link where you apply for the cabins It takes you to the national to the national I know you guys were working on a Yeah, the unified application system Okay, well, maybe I can link to that as well so This is this is a big project and You know, I've done a lot of day that input myself But you know, I have 12 of 100 peaks and and that's already, you know, been a ton of time to cover How would you recommend, you know looking for collaborators or Getting drawing attention to this project so that they can get some interest and maybe get some contributors to help out But first of all, I think the API that we developed pretty much Allowing the cabins and campsites existing what's like to talk open API Through this one-stop type smart, I would say this email you I think it's your natural ally because it gets updated quite frequently and there's kind of official English translations email to base at hike I KD that I Take that time. Yeah, that's you And there's a planet I from the upper left side that we would click should show English All right, it's already she's English actually show English Yeah Well, yeah, so the main idea is is your natural ally and There's also of course the application providers that already Integrate with this service and part have been Instrumentally developing this like the hiking book And and so on so there's like this ecosystem of F providers that feels this together. That's that's HPX That's very cool. Yeah, what is the name of the hiking book you mentioned? Yeah, just hiking book I think it's hiking book that net It's an app. It's an app But also is part of the ecosystem that basically Shares the GDX and so on that will gain rich Experience. I don't know whether they have plans for internationalization, but it's worth a try to reach out with them. Oh, that's cool. Oh There is English Okay, this is very cool So it does this is this system. Is this something new or is it like a wrapper around the national park? It's new. I'm just a wrapper Physically all the existing systems we may show that they have the open API Points what sense of life so that this one-stop system can make the same registration in a fair fashion As you would on those previous operating websites, so it's not every place minus right or more like a kind of unified entry home Okay, I see and you said there's an API for this If you start, you know, the inspector you see that I started digging into it. Yeah, and there's another ecosystem hiking Hiking that be I J I just see oh, yes that one. I do hiking Hiking that be I J I This is when I plan like this way when I plan I use this one. This one integrates with the application system They advised us in the initial design. I'm not sure whether they actually consume today there or not Okay, cool. Yeah, let me play around with this and see if it's something we could integrate at least an entry point to the permit system Yeah, you know when you when you click the link you just type in you the date You want to start and hit go and it returns returns the app for you Yes, and then they all have the pros of the ops have a really large community around it So some of them probably speak English. And so it's a great way to recruit fellow developers and you will promote Okay, great. Do you think that any media would be interested in covering this project? Oh So see I don't really like I don't know about the media related to this activity, but but I imagine the maybe the zero summit there's always a media outreach for the ideas of civic technology where people can improve on each other and Make things better together, especially part of it. It's based on all the data or it's loose And so I think of zero summit this year is in Thailand. I'll be there actually December so actually on that previous page. There's a summit Banner right this one This one the large one. Yeah, there's a pink. Yes Uh, here we go. Okay, so the agenda. I don't know whether it includes hiking but certainly around facilitating place making original travels Environmental preservation or Really on day three is just huge amount of unconferences Just host this session yourself. I guess Wow, okay. It's a great way to connect you to fellow Civic media. That's that's what we use. Okay. Yeah, maybe maybe I'll I'll do that What is this December 3rd to 6? Okay, just still some time just doesn't time to get ready. That's very cool. Um, so one of the one of the additional Features that I wanted to do actually it's the project that I wanted to do first before I ended up doing this was I wanted to do visualization of hiking safety based on accident reports Because you know the laws have been changing Recently now they're opening up places that needed permits before They're all you just needed insurance. Yeah. Yeah, you know, and there's there's a lot of controversy on whether or not that's Actually safer or if it's causing people who are unprepared to go out and get lost I know So I've been I've been talking to Toroco National Park to see if I can just get data on You know the accident reports, you know where it happened how many people are involved The reason whether it was being unprepared or whether or something else And uh, they said we you know, we can't really give out that data because it's you know, it's unless They fly the helicopters in which case there is open data. Yeah for helicopter flights Yeah for helicopter flights Okay, um, and they also told me that it's kind of a mess because The report goes to whoever responds first to the incident So if the national park responds, they do the report and if the police respond then they do the report instead Um So is is there a way to request data from at data that GOV? There's a Something called I want more I think Okay Yeah, because I do I have some contacts at the national parks and I think I can probably convince them The interactive who don't join you or the third from the uh Who don't want you? Yeah, that's the the third on the top menu Yeah, this one and then I was thinking a couple Quite literally and then you just Tell them what kind of data you want and they usually get back to you within a couple weeks Oh, wow Can you can you can see an example of how the request is formed and Sure Very cool. All right. This is exactly what I'm looking for. Yeah. Yeah Um, and usually they're pretty responsive And if they can't open at least they'll give you a pretty good reason for it. Okay. It's not just bureaucratic We don't want we don't want to do this Efficient and effective bureaucracy Yeah, not not used to that kind That's great. This is this is fantastic. Okay. Cool. Yeah, so I think I think that'll that'll probably be the next project Is it maybe maybe make it addition here because I plan on doing This whole information section about like, you know insurance dangers equipment All that all that stuff. Awesome. So that should be that should be good. Cool. Okay So you think the best way to get attention is to Yeah, to to uh, make sure that a civic media knows about the project Okay, there's a way for them to contribute to another day now. Yeah, I mean, it's yeah, you can it's all open source. It's on github The you know, you can contribute photos. It's all season eyes and then yeah, just just I don't know just Go to a conference room and start talking about your project There's uh, by mostly happens ones. So feel free also to um, attend those by mostly happens ones or 50 and just Book a kind of pitch And then just yeah, I was I'm sure many of them do high Okay, fantastic. I mean Um, we're we're the hackathons organized at those on There's a there's a english version of that website. It comes up automatic. Yeah. Wow Yeah, I think the second link again or it's Is currently broken, but uh, uh, but you can you can join it on the events and then Um, but sorry the the one this is juling we hold on this the force on the menu aton Fourth on the right. Yeah, juling we hold on right and then da song root for the second. Yeah, and it goes to the hackathon brutal, I think Yeah I'd say if you click register now then Uh, well it goes to I guess to the registration page. Yeah to the registration which already does but uh, I mean, there's one every other month Okay, and what is how does the hackathon work? Uh, it explains that on a previous page like very meticulous Like the process it's almost a hackathon. Okay. Yeah, I'll check this out. Yeah Yeah And the people I mean do these have to be new projects or can you bring something you've been working on as long as it's Uh, under open definition like open source or open data is fine. Okay, perfect. That's awesome Okay, definitely. Definitely have to do that. Um And then in in general, I mean like I'm I'm happy to contribute to other projects that are that are interesting. Um Is this a good way to find projects? Yeah, definitely Um, are these like government projects or are these private? These are public service projects Yeah, because g0v like it's just a changing g o v d w the o to zero as an additional reimagination of government digital services Like what if comes to this point like this? Okay. Yeah And so yeah peaks that tw sounds like something That's because zero people would do actually Okay That's that's that's good here. Yeah. Yeah, and I think I know like, you know, there aren't a lot of tourists coming in right now Well, no two is coming in right now But you know, it's it's getting more and more popular So, yeah, just just a little way to contribute to that. Um, see what else is on my list Um I think I think that's basically everything I wanted to ask you It's effective and efficient So, yeah, not keep it short and sweet. Um, yeah, thanks again for you. It's really pleasure to meet you and I'll I'll go talk to the city. Send me a link through the yeah, I send you a link for the api our signature position process Okay, and let me know if there's anything Okay, great. I'll um This is yeah, okay. So this is the same one that I was talking about Yeah, but but there's they there's the second clause in it If you have the mehi, right? Yeah, I don't then you don't need oh, no, I don't have it. I don't have a mehi You you you have an aprc have an aprc But I think you you can't go to the the household registration desk anyway because that's the first clause It says, uh, shen xing ren ke xian chan lei zhen bu right, so so that says, um It doesn't have to be mo sd. It could be mo ea and uh because you're um unique and innovative And I said it on record That's official unique and innovative like specializing in free software and open source development And I think still I think it's uh the qualification that because the the the thing is that if you go to ml i first Then it's well within their kpi to help you naturalize. Okay, if it goes with your mo st Apparently they don't have that a kpi Oh, okay. Yeah, because I went to ml st and um You know it was rejected and everyone says ml st. They're they're super strict. Yeah, they want academic people I know I know I know and and and I mean social innovation. That's a mo ea specifically a mo ea sm ea Same but uh, if you go through ml i then ml i people will know that if you go to ml st They don't necessarily know that. Okay. So so I should I should I should go to the household registration office and just say I want to directly apply it to ml i That's right. That's right. And then and then say that because you specializing in social innovation Audrey tom to do that mo ea sm ea might be actually that the right Window to ask but you're not that sure. So you defer to the ml i. Okay. Yeah Okay, perfect. Great. Thank you so much. Yeah, and attach that youtube clip It probably would I mean just seeking to give this particular moment very highly regret.  I'll let I'll let you know how it goes I think I I think I made a follow-up appointment in a month or so. So sure. Sure. Just just just follow up on that Yeah, and if the experience doesn't work as as we intended to then I can give over to the ministry of interior Oh, that's that's really that's fantastic. I really appreciate that. Thank you so much. Um Okay, I'll give it a shot. Let's see what happens. Um Great, um I don't this is kind of silly. Can I can I take a picture with you? No worries. We're just doing a video together, but Joey can help taking the picture. Yeah Geez Perfect, thank you so much. Thank you. All right. Well, it was a real pleasure meeting you. Um, I'll try this and uh, You know how it goes. Yeah, happy hacking Thank you, too And hiking too That's right


I couldn't see in the back of my head. If Gwyneth Paltrow is watching this I would love to see you in full blown sarcasm because I can see it gleaming through right there. When that tone changes and that request for approval goes up in her forehead as she says I can't see out the back of my head that's almost a hey you dense boom but the language the cadence changes slow she gets deliberate her brow comes up as if are you catching on


Hey everybody, Dr. O here. In the first video we talked about the anatomical divisions of the nervous system. The central nervous system which is the brain and spinal cord, peripheral nervous system which is everything else. Now we're going to look at the functional divisions of the nervous system. So we're not going to worry about the central nervous system anymore. We're going to look at the functional divisions of the peripheral nervous system. Now the first two key words I want you to learn here are the afferent versus the efferent divisions. So afferent means towards. So the afferent division is a division that's carrying information from out in the peripheral nervous system towards the central nervous system. So that's going to be up here on the screen, that's going to be your sensory division.  The efferent division means away from. So the efferent division is going to carry information away from your brain and spinal cord out to your body. So the efferent division is the same as the motor division. So when I say sensory division or afferent division, I mean the same thing. When I say motor division or efferent division, I mean the same thing.  If I touch something hot, that information has to travel towards my brain. But when I pull my hand away, when my brain tells my hand to move, that information has to travel away. All right, so that's afferent versus efferent. And as you can see here, we have the sensory and motor divisions. So the sensory division can be broken down into the visceral sensory division, which is going to be visceral means organs. So your visceral sensory division would be more things like vision or really your organs like your thoracic and abdominal pelvic organs, whereas somatic means body. So somatic sensory division would be more what we're thinking about your touch, pressure, physical sensations, and then things like vision and that. So visceral sensations are a thing. Your organs don't have as many sensory receptors as your fingertips, for example, but they do have some and you can feel some things with your organs. So visceral sensory division, think organs, somatic sensory division, think your physical body. And then we have your visceral and somatic motor division.  And then visceral motor division, we're going to break down, let me go to the next slide here. So a little different one, same kind of information. Your PNS is broken down into your somatic nervous system or your somatic motor division, which controls your skeletal muscles, both voluntary control and involuntary control with reflexes. And then we have the autonomic nervous system. So your somatic nervous system controls skeletal muscle, your autonomic nervous system controls cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, glands and fat. You don't often see that one, but fat is under control of the autonomic nervous system. So autonomic, I think automatic. This is like subconscious control of these structures. And then we'll have a whole chapter on this later, but the autonomic nervous system can then be further broken down into the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions. So your sympathetic division, you've probably heard of the fight or flight response, a better way to say it might be fight, flight or freeze, but the sympathetic nervous system is excitatory. It's all about mobilizing energy and mobilizing your body. You're either going to run from a threat or you're going to fight it. So the sympathetic system is all about pumping your body up for physical action. The parasympathetic system, I like to call it rest and digest. Sometimes you hear it called rest and repose or different things, but rest and digest.  So instead of mobilizing energy, it's going to be storing it. Instead of increasing your heart rate and your blood flow, it's going to be decreasing them. So we'll cover all that later. So these are the functional divisions of the nervous system. One more term or phrase I want you to know about before we're done here. Your digestive system does have its own division called the enteric nervous system.  There's tons of nervous system input coming from the autonomic nervous system, but it can control, it can actually operate independent of your brain and spinal cord. That's why it's a separate division. There's about as many neurons in the enteric nervous system as there is in your spinal cord. So it's very important. I just wanted to make sure that you've heard that terminology because you're hearing so much more about it now when you talk about gut health and these types of things. Okay. So now with the first video, we covered the anatomical divisions of the nervous system. Now we've covered them functionally. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful day. Be blessed.


Listen man, I'm starting to run out of ways to start these intros. Welcome back to the channel. We have one piece of episode 477, 478 today. We are at the literal climax of this arc, I'm assuming. Marineford, the summit war, whatever you want to call it. This is the end of times, bro. It's Whitebeard versus Akainu. Luffy versus all the other animals and everybody else. Whitebeard's army versus the Navy's arm. It's just madness. Garbus finally stepped in and it's just breaking my heart too because I know it's tearing him apart inside, but this is the side he's choosing is the Navy.  These gops are... I've been given a chance to protect them! 20 years ago... He fought against Goldrother King. I knew they had fought before. So is that how he got his name like Hero of the Navy? That's right a bit. Oh shoot. I'm going to use the weapon of the forbidden stone. This Marineford... Oh shoot. I'm going to use the weapon of the Imperial Army.  Damn. That was the only person that ever broke out of Impel Down, right? It says you. I'm sorry, Whitebeard. I'm still on your side, bro. And the Navy is just unbeatable, seemingly. It's far too late for that. Yeah, he's just testing him.  A substitute. Oh, to execute him? Oh, the movie has the key, man. It's crazy that the kumas are like the least of our worries right now. It's insane. This is how behind the stakes are. Oh, nice! Let's go, boys! Dude, he's like that done? The mission ain't over! Give him some more drugs, Ivan! And Luvia's the key. What's the matter? He's saying all his men die for him! Oh, we got a flashback?  Started the pirate era. Ah, nope. No, it's no BS, man. Says you! Who even are you, bro? Oh, he... Oh. So, yeah, how young did he know that that was his father?  Let's go! I wonder why we're seeing this, though. Wait, they got killed or what? Almost got killed. Is this who raised them? Oh, yeah, this is who Garp left them with. He just asked to everybody? You sound jealous. Whoa! Wait, here's where we look that down upon by so many people? Dang, he just beat up anybody that talked down about him? Pirates see him so highly. Maybe it's just because these were regular people? Oh, there's Garp. I'm guessing Garp got a scarf from Roger. Who else, Garp? He's like, oh, yeah, that kid. Jesus. It's so sad. Where's this point now? No! There's no way it ends like this! Louis is not going to let them. Like, genuinely, he will not let them. Or he'll give Ivan the key. I mean, what can Ace do? Let's go, Tim! Oh my god. Just cutting him down like it's nothing now. Just hears all of them. They're all dying. No, for real. Louis should not have said one last time. Damn. It feels exactly like Robin. Well, not exactly like, but somewhere, too. Seeing all the- How serious all these people are about saving him, same as how Robin saw the straw ads. What is Louis asking Ivan? I think the only thing he could is like rejuice him again. But I know there's no way for him to like, he said he could do it, but it would only last like 24 hours or something. But he's alive! Thank goodness! How did they melt? Did they just like throw like warm water on them very slowly? They just accepted his death at first? God, that visual still sunk nuts. Oh my god, they saved him. Oh my gosh. These guys are genuinely unreal. How did you even get impaled down, boys? No, for real. The devil's lock, bro. Who knows? Somewhere in the navy base. I like how he actually asked about him. That bastard! You can get past it. Why, Captain Buggy? What are you gonna do? I think he could probably get up. Like, couldn't he like detach his feet and fly up and then have the feet walk up? I think? I still don't completely understand, Buggy. Oh no. It's not looking good for a white beard. My heart is like shattering. It's like black. Oh god. Oh, I'm so out of time. Damn, that's a cold line. He's really just an old man, bro. Dude, how prequel series would go so hard? Tell me you wouldn't. A white beard in his prime. What are you gonna do? It feels like it. He's saying Kobe doesn't even do anything. They already won. Which just feels so trash. Like, it's their side as the navy. There's no way he fights for them, right? Like, for the straw- Like, for, like, Luffy and everybody else. And the white beards. Well, right now, I don't even want you to become one, to be honest. Kobe, it's the wrong side, bro. Oh, he is. That's what I said since it fell down. We'll die for sure afterwards, bro. He's begging him. Luffy, we got like way more episodes to go. You cannot die here. He would happily trade his life for aces. He's gonna do it. Ivan's gonna realize he can't talk Luffy out of this. He'd rather die. Yeah, they're all losing. Oh my god. How does Garb just sit there, man? I don't understand. I can understand, yeah. From how close Ivan and Dragon apparently are.  Three, isn't it? Oh my god, it totally is. He saw them running by. No way does Mr. Three turn the tides of this. Sigh, Dio Smeal, he's doing it. Damn. Movie better, like, over-toast, man. He asked for this. He's re-juiced. That's gonna inspire Kobe, though. I just feel so, so, like, torn with Kobe, man, as a character. He needs to make a decision for himself, though. Okay, Luffy's back. It was on 478. I'm light-headed, bro. I'm light-headed. Dude, is that Mr. Three? It wouldn't, like, like, have us see that perspective if it wasn't, right? Next time you drop, you won't be able to bounce back, though this is all or nothing. He cannot take any severe hits, or he's just done. Yeah, it's adrenaline. It's like, when you get shot, your body pumps with adrenaline, you don't even realize how much pain you are till after. He doesn't care, though. Another full-arty statement. No, they definitely weren't, and I'm glad I haven't recognized that. It still breaks my heart that the other straw hats aren't here to back him up, just his family, basically.  Oh my God. It's gonna take a lot more than you guys, I'm gonna be honest.  Jimi's right behind him, too. Who is this? Who is this? Kobe? What is Kobe? What is he doing? What is he doing right now? What is he doing at this point in time, and why? Kobe? Kobe? God damn, it's showing us episode one, man. Oh, who's this two? No, this one. That little snotty kid. You're... Oh! Not to say all pirates are good and not evil, but I never committed to it, but it's so... I'm so torn, man. Oh my gosh. Yeah, you don't stand a chance against... Wait, does the movie even realize who it is? Give up. Oh. Oh, damn. Oh, he getting laid out. I'm impressed that he knows Shave, though.   He got slammed. Ruby didn't even stop. Oh my gosh. I don't know if Ruby realized who it... I think she has too much adrenaline to realize who it is. I think Kobe made a stand for what he wants to be, too. Dog, no shot, man. Kuma's two. Oh. The imposters. That's my mom. They won't fire on her. Oh my gosh. She said, you called me Hancock? How do you know her? Ah, yeah, there it is. Hancock. Hi. I think it's someone else saying Hancock. Yeah, there it is. Her face. She said, don't call me that. I'm always just gonna knock them over. Oh my gosh. Dude, look at the battlefield. So insane. Magma brat. Dog, some people have to fall here. I feel like Marco is one of them. Marco the Phoenix regenerates. Your turn. Oh, that's a vice-admone. What is that? Oh no. Oh, double power. Oh my god.  They're gonna lose. They are. I mean, whitebeard is one of the only ones that still stands, out of like the biggest troops. I mean, he's the biggest himself, but god damn, it is looking terrible, man. It just looks disastrous. Oh no. There's no way Jinbei's actually restrained. It's whitebeard versus everyone. Oh, you beast. There's a hole in his chest, bro. I got them a kind new. No. Justice my d**k. Oh my god. Not like this. Not like this.  Oh my.  The midges on him still. Oh my goodness. Dude, he has to be like lethal wounds at this point, though, especially from a kind new. Oh my god. Lord, how is he still alive? There's a hole in his chest. Oh man, he's just, he's on the very brink. Who are you talking to, Sengoku? They're all petrified of him. He said this ain't anything. This is nothing. Brother. No, what? Like they lose if he dies. That's why he can't. It's all right, it's free. Dog, whitebeard's for real gonna give his life for it. Oh my god. Jesus. He can't die without knowing that they're all safe or as many as possible are. He's as surrounded as he possibly can be. Oh, can't they fight back? The remainder of the men? Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. This is their stand, man. Squad, redeem yourself, brother. Oh no.  He's gonna trade his life or at least try to. It's Mr. Three, I swear to god. It totally is. It totally is. No. No, it is. It totally is. It totally is. And 1 million percent is. Mr. Three is about to save everything. They're still so insanely far. No, he does not have a mustache. It's hockey. It's hockey. Oh my gosh. There's the impasse out. Oh my god. I don't think it is. Was I just led it like I'm led to be a fool? Oh my gosh. Everybody's out. Oh my goodness. Okay, so a slight view like very powerful. Be like, I'm Kiji withstood it. Oh my gosh. Ace is like, god damn, Luffy, how far have you come? It's a rarity, they said. Conqueror's hockey.  I swear to god. Oh my god. We're actually getting closer and closer to episode 500. I just realized too. I've just been on such a tear that I didn't even realize it. Dude, like a majority of the army has been wiped out. But dawg, it is not looking good for Whitebeard. I'm starting to think that Whitebeard is genuinely going to trade his life for the future of like Ace and all the other Whitebeards that have made it this far. And it's going to be his legacy for them to have a bright future for him.  Like even he is staggering. He almost wiped out as he just tried to slowly make his way to Ace and I never expected that out of him. But it makes sense, he's gone through hell and back already. But Luffy's on a timer too, having Ivan's like hormone injector. So there's only a matter of time he can't take any more hits, like he said. So we have Whitebeard on the brink, Jim Bay we still have and of course like the Whitebeard captains that are still up, aside from Marco because he has the sea prism. And Ivan's right behind Luffy, but dude, oh my gosh, there's just only so many options here. Guys, that's been it for episode 477, 478 of our One Piece Watchthrough. Do drop us up if you're new, I don't even...  I don't know what to expect anymore. I'll catch you guys in the next one. Peace, peace.
