So, today we are going to start with the session number 6, one of my favorite session. It is going to be on actual technicality, art of breastfeeding.  And it is not that mothers do not try, they do try, okay. And I have this experience in US, I have this experience in India with educated mothers with, you know, mothers coming from underprivileged background, they all want to breastfeed their children by and large. But the problem arises when they try to breastfeed and when they are unsuccessful, when they kind of develop nipple pain, breast pain, breast abscess, baby is not latching, you know, baby is crying, mothers they do try. And when they feel that they are not being able to breastfeed, that is when, you know, things starts kind of falling apart. And that is what kind of I experienced too in my own experience. And also when I started working in, you know, slums of Mumbai, of course as a pediatrician I was not taught about breastfeeding at all, even in US, you know. And initially, like I would kind of teach mothers whatever that I knew and also reading lot of books and guidelines and, you know, and somehow, you know, kind of children were not gaining as much weight. And working in with this poor mothers, it was very important for me to make them understand proper technicality of breastfeeding so that we could do catch up growth because a lot of these babies were born small. You know, in India, as I mentioned, our average birth weight is 2.7, which is, you know, which is much lower than the world average of 3.2, 3.3 kgs and girls and boys respectively. So we did kind of, you know, worked on different techniques of breastfeeding. As I mentioned, initially what we were doing, we were using the cradle hold and somehow I felt a lot of kind of problems with that cradle hold. And of course, you know, we were using this amazing software which we had created with the help of one of the very famous software company. So what we were doing, whatever we were telling mothers, we were documenting it on that software and we realized that some advices when we gave, it was working, some of the advices we gave, it was not working, you know. And I have to tell you this one particular experience that I had, almost 4 to 5 years in my learning, I had this one baby come to me, about 2 weeks old girl child and you know, I met this mother, in fact, she lived in my building and she was, she looked kind of very tired and she looked sad and she had this little baby in her hand. So I told her that, how is it going with you breastfeeding?     So, that's what I am going to explain and again over period of time, we know, we figured out at what points which were very, very important for mothers to understand and once we taught those techniques as well as those counseling points, you know, we started seeing results. So, today my first part is going to be basically, you know, just 45 points of counseling which is one of the most important aspect of this, you know, tutorial of this session and of course the whole course. So, if you can really understand the technicality of cross griddle hold in 45 points, you know, 90% of your problems will be solved, you know, 90% of the time. So, to kind of listen to this very carefully, watch it and then practically you can just buy a doll and make a breast model at home and you can, you know, practice it on of course the model. But, you know, also kind of help any mothers in your family who are just delivered or teach any pregnant mothers, you know, when the baby is born, you practice on mother and the baby because more you practice on a live baby and the mother, more efficient you will become. Okay? So, let's start with the first point. Of course, this is part one and we are going to talk about, I will be including part one, part two, part three, you know, it's basically a continuous process and I will make it as elaborate as possible and also as simple as possible. Okay? So, let's start with cross griddle hold and 45 points of counseling. Okay? Now, first thing that we want to remember, you know, we are always, we have this thing in our mind that when is baby ready to breastfeed? Okay? And most of the time mothers feel that, oh, when baby cries, that's when baby is ready to breastfeed. One point you want to remember by the time baby cries, it's already too late. Okay? So, please do not wait for baby to cry. Okay? What you can do is to understand those early hunger cues. Okay? So, early hunger cues.  So, they will kind of squirm, okay? And they will start looking around, they will start looking for breast. So, they will open the mouth and then they'll move around like this. Okay? So, that's important. Second or third point would be basically, you know, what they do is that in mid-hunger cue, they put their hand in the mouth. So, they'll put them hand in the mouth, okay? And they will basically kind of salivate and they will become little bit more kind of a squirmy. So, they move a lot, okay? Third stage, they become very irritable, they become, it's a late cue, they become very irritable, they start crying and they are very, very, you know, it's very difficult to console them, okay? So, when do you want to breastfeed? You want to breastfeed when they are in early hunger cues. So, in early hunger cues again, they will start squirming, okay? They will open their mouth and they'll start looking for breast. So, that's what is the most important early hunger cues that you want to understand, okay? So, here now you have a baby who is small and suppose baby does not wake up, say within two hours or so, okay? Now, again, if the baby is small and you know, you want to have a catch-up growth, then I do recommend that you should basically wake up the baby after two hours gap in the daytime, okay?  So, once you remove all that extra clothing, you know, baby does get kind of uncomfortable and then they wake up, okay? Second thing, what you want to do, suppose if they are not waking up, okay? Even if you remove all the clothes just with one on-see, you can keep that on-see on. If it's cold, obviously, you can put one more layer, you know, but don't put too many blankets around baby, okay? When you're waking up the baby. Second thing, what you want to do is to basically make up, make the baby sit. So, what you can do, you make the baby sit on the lap, okay? Put your fingers on the jaw, so there is an angle of the jaw, so there is an angle, okay? So, you basically put the jaw, put the hand around the jaw, okay? It should not be on the neck, it should be on the jaw, okay? And then, and your wrist is basically resting on the chest. So, the whole body, basically the body is resting on the, on the, on your palm, okay? And the other hand is just basically behind the back of the baby, okay? So, and then you just kind of tilt the baby a little bit forward, okay? When you tilt the baby a little bit forward, what happens? The stomach get pressed. So, here in this position, okay? So, this is the perfect position to wake up the baby. Now, I like this position a lot even for boping the baby, okay? Because in, in US also in our unit, we used to burp the baby. When small babies, we used to burp the baby like this. So, remember to kind of make the baby sit. See here, do you see how baby is kind of bent forward a little bit? You don't need to pat the baby or you don't need to move your hand, you know, just kind of support the back like this, okay? And in front, it should be like this. Don't hold it too close, just, it should be just kind of near ears, okay? So, I am holding it near the ears, not on the neck.  So, just on the jaw, on the, on the back, mandible, this is a bone called mandible. So, you want to touch near the mandible, okay? So, now if baby is hungry, baby will immediately wake up. The first thing baby does when you put them in the sitting position, they open the eyes. So, they open the eyes wide, wide open, okay? And then you kind of stimulate little bit and that's when baby kind of is ready to breastfeed. Make sure that you don't put the baby on the breast because baby is sleepy. If baby is sleepy, they will just go back to sleep, okay? So, if baby is not waking up, just put the baby back and again you can try and within a half an hour or so. Now, at night, I do recommend that baby should be breastfed at least three to four times. Now, at night if baby is not waking up up to three hours, then I would wake up the baby at around say at the end of three hours, you know, because you don't want to go too long because then again, you know, I see that baby is don't then put on good amount of weight, okay? So, that's one important point that I want to discuss. So, now mother's preparation, okay? Now, what is mother's preparation? So, before basically kind of holding the baby or touching the baby, what mother needs to do is to wash her hands. Really, really important because, you know, kind of mother has touched so many surfaces, you know, mother probably changed the diaper, mother has done so many other things, you want to make sure that she has clean hands before she touches the baby, okay? So, even before she picks up the baby, you know, remember, I talked about the early hunger queues so that this is just the thought process that mother is going through. So, this was the thought process that I mentioned that she should know when to start feeding the baby. So, if she feels this is the time to feed the baby to wake up the baby or baby squirming, the first thing she does is wash her hands. So, before she touches the baby, tell her to wash her hands with soap and water, okay? Little bit warm water if she has access to warm water, that would be great if she doesn't have warm access to warm water, then it's fine too. So, use soap and water, wash your hands, okay? And then tell her to drink one glass of water, okay? So, that's about 8 ounces, 240-250 ml of water. Now, this water has to be clean, okay? So, if you have access to filter water, of course, that's the most preferable one, but if you don't have filter water, what you can do is to just kind of tell mother to boil water and then just, you know, keep it at a room temperature and then so boil in kind of room temperature water that she should have it immediately before breastfeeding. Now, why this is important? Because as you know that, you know, mothers get very busy, okay? And when she has a small baby, she has to feed every hour and a half, two hours, you know, then she may have to do some work at home, she may have other children, you know, lot of what happens, she forgets to take care of herself. And here in this situation, when she's probably getting, you know, 750-850 ml of milk and sometime if baby is catching up, then she will get even 1 to 1.5 litre of milk, you know. So, if the latch is good, she, you know, the weight can be so good that definitely mother gets more than 1 litre of milk. And if you have twins, then she will probably get 1.5 litres of milk, you know. So, in that scenario, even with singleton baby, I do recommend mother should sit down, relax and drink some water. Because if she drinks her water, what it's going to do is it's going to relax her. Plus, it will hydrate her.  New mothers, you know, even worse.  So, that for release of, it's called letdown reflex. So, that letdown reflex, you need a hormone called oxytocin. Oxytocin is also called love hormone. And you need to have that relaxation. That's when mother will feel loved. She will have this, you know, kind of motherly feeling and immediately she will relax and the milk will come out. Okay. So, for that also, I recommend just tell her to, tell her to relax, think of some good things, think of, you know, if she wants, you can listen to some light music, if she has access to or, you know, kind of don't be on phone, keep that TV away, you know, not all those, lot of activity surrounding her. Okay. So, there we are. Now she drank water. Okay. Now what she has to do, she has to basically pick up the baby. So, if she, suppose baby is sleeping on the bed, okay. Of course, I do recommend that if mother can sleep on the floor with the baby, that would be great, because lot of time when the baby is sleeping on the bed, there is a risk of rolling down, you know. So, I personally do recommend that, you know, when the baby is small, it's better to kind of be on the floor on the bed, much better. So, now she is sitting down. Okay. She has a baby next to her. So, first thing, obviously, baby is right there. So, she doesn't need to walk and get the baby. But if baby say in the crib or say in the Jhula, she will have to bring the baby. Okay. She will have to kind of put the baby next to her while she's preparing to breastfeed. Okay. But remember, she has to touch the baby only after washing her hands and drinking some water. Okay. So, now here, I've got the baby out of Jhula and I'm ready to breastfeed on my bed. Okay.  And I'm going to prepare myself. The way I'm going to prepare myself is first, I'm going to find a comfortable position to sit. Okay. So, if it is a bed, then I can sit on the bed. I have to make sure that I have a pillow behind my back. Okay. If I don't have a pillow, at least I need to have a wall or a kind of, you know, a board of bed where I can rest. Pillow will be great because that will kind of give me comfort on my back. Okay. Say, for example, I'm a mother. So, and then another thing, what I want to do is I want to kind of relax, kind of fold my, you know, legs. If I'm sitting on the chair, then I can put my legs down. But I want to make sure there is a support on my under my feet. Okay. Because the feet needs to be supported. If it's dangling in the air, it could be very uncomfortable for the mother. So, make sure that we have our support under the under the feet. Okay. So, now I'm ready to breastfeed. Here, I'm sitting down with my legs folded with back supported, back straight. Very important that you keep your back straight. It should not be drooping down, which should not be very kind of stressed. You know, just relax. Okay. And then just prepare yourself. Okay. Now, next point would be to open the clothes. Okay. So, one thing which is very, very crucial, most of the mothers that we see, they have this habit of wearing bra and shirt, which are basically not front open.  So, what happens? Like for example, I'm going to show you on this breast model. So, here is the breast model. And what is happening is mother is kind of lifting up the bra. So, now that tight bra is sitting on the breast. Okay. It is basically kind of denting on the breast. What is happening when you have something which is pressing on the breast. So, here we have basically kind of, you know, milk is formed in the alveoli over here. And then milk is kind of flowing out or kind of getting collected in the collecting duct. Okay. So, when you have something pressing on the collecting duct, duct means like a canal where the milk is coming out. Okay. And if something is pressing on the duct, what will happen? The milk will form, but it is not flowing out. So, now the milk will continue to form in that kind of round, you know, cells. I mean, I am not going to use too many of these medical terms because I know many of you are not medical doctors or, you know, nurses. So, again, you know, when the milk is forming and that milk flow does not have a proper kind of way to come out, then milk will continue to form and then it will become bigger and bigger and that area will become inflamed. It will become red because that milk is not flowing out. It is just collecting in one space. Okay. Now what will happen? Mother will kind of feel swelling in the breast. And then if suppose that swelling is not relieved, then what will happen? Eventually the infection will set in. Once the infection sets in, then they develop breast abscess. And once the breast abscess develops, then, you know, obviously she has to go to surgeon.  So, this is another very important point. And our 45 points we have created, this is so that to prevent any complications in the future. Okay. So, this is another important point is to tell mothers that not to press anything on the breast, it should not, there should not be any tight clothing. There should not be any tight bra. If she wants to breastfeed, tell her to buy clothes which has buttons till, till the navel and she has to remove each and every button. Okay. And then basically make sure that she does not wear bra if possible. But if she even wear bra, if she wears bra, then she can just remove the button and keep it completely open. At least still while she is breastfeeding, you know, at that for a, for say 30 minutes, 40 minutes when she is breastfeeding, tell her to just remove it. It is much easier to do that. Okay. Then she won't develop any of this complication. Okay. So, now she is prepared. She is, she has removed her breast, you know, she has opened her breast, nothing is pressing on the breast. Now she is going to take the baby. Okay. So, here it is that here she is going to take the baby. Okay. And then she is going to, you know, kind of remove all the clothes and just keep one on C or just one pair of clothes. If it is cold, then of course, second layer is fine. Cap is also okay. But I prefer that while mother is latching the baby, at least, well, she is learning how to latch, you know, remove the cap because it will be much easier for her to, you know, to kind of hold the baby and learn how to latch the baby or how to position the baby. Okay. So, that's, that's really important.  And then now she's ready. So, now what she's going to do, so here is the baby, I'm going to first thing what I'm going to do. Now remember that baby does not have neck control in first two months of age. Okay. So, she will have to continue holding the head. Okay. So, that she baby does not have a wobbly neck. Okay. So, here now what she's going to do, she's going to basically hold the baby from the back. Okay. And then here she's going to support. Okay. With her elbow joint and immediately hold it like this. Okay. Now I'm going to discuss this. This is called positioning of the baby because mother is now ready to breastfeed. Okay. So, mother's preparation is done. Now what she's doing, she's now positioning the baby because this is the, this is very important aspect because here now what we're doing, we are landing the baby to be ready to breastfeed. So, this is called landing the baby. Also called positioning of the baby. Okay. So, now this is the cross cradle hold. In cross cradle hold what happens, suppose I'm going to breastfeed from left side. Okay. That means this hand is going to be open. Okay. But I'm going to hold the baby with the opposite hand. This is called cross cradle. So, the hand which is in cross to the breast that I'm going to breastfeed from, I'm holding the baby from that side. That's why it's called cross cradle. So, now first thing what I'm going to do, I'm going to put this baby's legs under my armpit. It should be really kind of embedded. Make sure that it is held tight because lot of times what happens, if it is not held tight, what happens, baby keeps slipping. When baby keeps slipping, then it becomes very difficult for baby to latch on just by mouth. Okay. So, to have a good latch, latch means move keep occurred.  Okay. So, for that to have a good holding of breast by baby's mouth, you want to have a perfect position. If there is a perfect position, it will be very easy for mother to latch the baby. It will be very easy for baby to get the milk transfer. Okay. So, first thing you want to do is you lift the legs up under the armpit. Okay. And you basically what you can do is to put baby's hip little bit on elbow joint. So, this is what you want to do, is put the elbow joint just at the angle of the elbow. Okay. So, here this is ready and make sure that both the legs are held properly. Now, look at the position of baby. Okay. Now, position of baby is absolutely horizontal. You see this is absolutely horizontal. Lot of time when I see mothers, they do this. Now, this is not horizontal. This is diagonal.  You want to have absolutely horizontal position. Okay. Here, what I am doing now, look at this. Now, there are four important points of positioning. Remember that it is WHO for positioning point. One is that baby should be in a straight line. So, do you see baby is completely in the straight line. What do you mean straight line? Straight line means the neck, I mean the ears. So, here is your ears. Okay. Here is your ears. Then your shoulder and your hip, they all are in the straight line. So, here in this, in this position, you know, suppose this is a straight baby. Okay. This is a straight baby. So, here in straight baby, what is happening? Ears, shoulder joint and your hip joint is in the straight line. Okay. So, exactly when I put this baby like this. So, same thing, ears, shoulder joint. Okay. This is shoulder joint and your hip joint and the straight line. So, this is what I mean by straight line. Okay. Many times what happens, babies are put like this.  You will not be able to eat. But when you see many mothers, they breastfeed the baby like this. So, the shoulders are on the side. So, the position is like this. Ears are in front. Okay. Shoulders are on the side and the hip is on the side. And this is how so many mothers breastfeed. So, if you now look at any mother, immediately you should look at it, whether it is in the straight line or not. Okay. So, this is how many mothers breastfeed. It is so common. And that is why so many mothers, they cannot even, babies cannot even breastfeed. It is like we cannot eat like this sideways. We have to keep our body straight. Similarly, same thing happens. So, you make sure that baby is in straight line. So, here baby is in straight line now. Okay. And if I bend it backward, there you go. So, this is the straight line of baby's body. Okay. One more time. Ears, shoulder joint and your hip joint, straight line. Okay. All right. Now, what is happening? So, now baby is in the straight line. Now, there should be full body support. Okay. Imagine while you eating, imagine that you eating, adults are eating and you are hanging in the air. You will not be able to swallow. You will not be able to, it could be, you know, it is kind of a very scary situation where you do not have support. Right. What support do we have? We have gravity support. Right.  Right. Similarly, here baby is against the gravity. Means, if you do not hold the baby, baby will immediately fall. Right. So, in this position, you want to make sure that you hold the baby, full body support is extremely important. Okay. So, what you can do full body support. Look, the legs are supported. Right. The hip is supported. Right.  Right. So, this is important that keep the body, full body support is extremely important. Okay. All right. So, that is your second point. So, one more point in positioning is like when you bring the baby, you know, to the breast. Okay. So, we already spoke about a straight line, you know, tummy to tummy or chest to chest and then nose to nipple. I would say, nose to nipple. One more thing you want to make sure that many times mother has this habit of kind of tripping forward. Okay. So, kind of tell mother not to bend forward. You know, a lot of time what happens is baby is kind of on the pillow and she is bending forward. What she has to do? She has to sit straight and bring baby up. Okay. So, that is important as to bring baby up. Don't droop down, don't kind of stoop down. Okay. Second thing is when you're holding the baby, this way you hold the baby from head is very important. Many times what mothers do, they hold the baby like this. This is not the way to hold because what happens when you press the head like this, again the neck will get bent forward. Okay. So, you don't want to have a neck forward like this. You know, you want to have a neck backward. So, the way you hold it, you want to kind of see there is, there are two bones over here. Okay. So, you want to basically a mastoid bone, they are called. So, you basically touch or hold on the mastoid bone and then put your fingers just around it, not on the back of the head. Okay. And then you kind of bring the baby, a neck to nose, a neck to nose. Why neck to nose? So, that your neck is bent forward.  Okay.  So, that way when I open the mouth, that's when the lower part of the redler coat in the mouth, I will again discuss it, why that near to nipple is very important, because that is called landing of the baby. Okay. All right. Third point, you keep the baby so close to the mother. Okay. You tell mother that keep the babies kind of chest close to mother's chest, because if baby is close to mother's chest, it will be so much easier for baby to latch on well, because if baby is too far, like, you know, for example, if the neck is twisted, then what will happen, the chest is facing up, it should not be facing up, it should be facing the mother. Okay. So, baby should be extremely close to the mother. Okay. And this is how basically they will come. Now, the fourth point of positioning is nose to nipple. Now, that is also again, WHO point, very, very important nose to nipple. But when you bring the baby to the nipple, you want to make sure that nose is kind of, it is near to nipple. Okay. Now, what is this near to nipple? Near to nipple is, what you can do is, suppose for example, you are bringing the baby to the breast, okay, to the nipple, then the nose, the near of the nose is facing the nipple. Okay. So, that is very important. I will talk about it later, why it is important. So, here for example, I am going to show you again. Okay. So, in this position, baby's neck is extended. Okay. And baby is facing the breast directly. Okay. Baby is not facing up like this. Make sure that baby's face is not looking at the mother. Again, when we are eating food, we always look at the, you know, the dish, we do not look up. Right. We look up when we eat, we always look in the plate. So, mothers, baby's plate is mother's breast. So, let baby look directly at the breast. Okay. And then you look, you ask the baby to look up, not, you cannot ask the baby, but just basically what you want to do is you lift up baby's neck backward. Now, why is it important to lift up the baby a little bit backward? Does anybody, I am going to explain to you why it is important to kind of lift baby's neck backward.  Okay. So, when you drink water, remember that we always kind of lift up our neck a little bit and then drink water. Right. So, if you have a bottle, you always kind of lift up your neck and then drink water. Right. When we, if we have water and if we kind of say put our head forward, we will not be able to swallow. This is really, really important. Okay.  Similarly, when you bringing the baby to breastfeed, it is important that we extend the neck backward. Okay. So, here it is, extend the neck backward. Okay. And this is how it should be. Do you see? And make sure that the nerve of the nose is in the line of nipple. If it goes too high up, like if it's coming too high up like this, what will happen? Then baby will have to bend forward. Okay. To breastfeed.  The baby has to extend her neck. Okay. So, in this position, you pull the baby's leg a little bit downwards, you know, towards the other side. Okay. So, baby will be able to extend the neck or you will have to help baby to extend the neck and then to reach out, basically, baby will kind of latch on. Okay. So, this was the two parts that we talked about. First part was mother's, you know, position, mother's readiness. Second thing is baby's position. So, this is where we complete our, you know, first part of how to position the baby to the breast. Okay. Thank you so much.


Woo! Right here. Oh. Can you do that here? Of course. Now I can bet the game on FanDuel Sportsbook anywhere in Pennsylvania. But is it Pigaloud? You mean my service hog? As long as I rent her shoes.


Welcome to Purefix TV. I'm Amanda and today it's time for anatomy class. Bike anatomy class. You ever have a problem with that spinning thing that looks like a ninja star?  It's tough to talk about your bike if you don't know the names of the parts. So we're gonna help you out with that today. Let's start with the frame. It's made up of the top tube, the head tube, the down tube and the seat tube. That's a lot of tubes, dude. In the front of the bike you'll find the headset that connects the fork to the frame and allows you to steer. The stem extends off this and connects with the handlebars. But you knew that one, right? How about another easy one? Up top you'll find the saddle or the seat connected by the seat post. Easy. Down below is the crank set. This is the power plant of the bike and includes the crank arms and the pedals. This is connected to the chain ring, one of the most important components of the bike. Following the chain back is the rear sprocket or the cog. Alright, I hope you guys got all that.  There are built-around hubs that contain bearings that make your wheels spin and these are connected to the rim by the spokes. Finally, when you skid to a stop, you're burning rubber from your tires. So those are the main components of a fixed-gear bike. Now you can go into any bike store and sound like an expert. Kinda. Check us out next week on PureFixTV.com and stop by our Facebook page when you have a minute. Until next time I'm Amanda and I'll see you in the streets.


Hi, Jeff Rick here with theCUBE. We're on top of Stanford Stadium. It's really sunny as you could tell. It's a beautiful day for the California Classico. I think we've heard it's the fourth annual showdown between the Santa's earthquakes and their downstate rivals, the LA Galaxy. I've got with me here Chris McDougal, the creative services producer. We pulled him out of the booth full of equipment, all kinds of gear. So first off, Chris, thanks for coming out and spending a few minutes with theCUBE. No problem. So talk a little bit about the role of technology. We were talking while the guys were setting up about how many tools you have at your disposal. Stanford Stadium recently upgraded the video boards, the ribbon boards, I'm sure a whole bunch of software and equipment behind those boards. Talk about both the challenges and the opportunities when you have all these kind of tools at your disposal. There are certainly a lot of challenges, but it really provides us the opportunity to connect with the fans. Show them what we're trying to push out from the marketing, ticket sale side, as well as getting our sponsors in the People's Eye site. Really push our messaging out to the fans, which is an opportunity that we don't generally have at our current stadium at Buckshaw. So really to take advantage of it here, playing at Stanford is a good opportunity for us.  But here it's a different venue, it's a different kind of look and feel, it's a different connection. So when you're planning, how does that compare to some of the other things that you do? And how do you guys plan for that and come up with some unique things to take advantage of that opportunity? Well the most important thing is preparing for 50,000 people. It's a crowd that we don't get anywhere near at our current stadium. So having that many sets of eyes on our scoreboard, on the LED ribbon, it really makes it important to us to have it all lined up. And make sure that we're getting the proper marketing initiatives out there. And that our sponsors are getting the proper allotment of time. Because at our current stadium we can't even show a sponsor image during the match. But here we can put it on the LEDs pretty much the entire game. You'll see either a ticket sales advertisement or a sponsorship, 7up, A&W, something like that. Or our Gordon Beers viewing party. It's all going to be in their eyes for the entire match. And how long have you been working on the script for this thing? I started working on this script probably two months ago. And a lot of that work was done in years past. Like you said, this is our fourth year at Stanford. So yeah, it's been a long time. And how tight is it in terms of the level of detail that once the show starts, you guys are... Are you right on the clock? Do you have some flexibility? Are there kind of key indicators that you reference off of? We're definitely on the clock. Depending on how well our PA announcer gets through his script and how sharp our director's cuts are, we might build in a little time for ourselves. But yeah, at halftime especially, right before kickoff, we're really hitting the minute and a half marks. We can't miss those. And then you said you've been with the Quakes for five years. Not always in this job, but you've been here for a while. Talk a little bit about how technology has changed in those five years. In terms of what you have at your disposal, how you use it, and really how you get the feedback that it really relates to the fan experience. I mean, I've been here since 2010, and I can't even use some of the footage that we collected in those early years. It's just so small and grainy compared to the HD stuff they're pushing out today. And that's been one of the major challenges is working with this really high quality footage and then using, you know, we've been playing since 1974 trying to put a shot of that on really grainy pixelated film and then cutting something from today, which is just clear, crisp HD. It can't be a challenge at times, but hopefully our fans understand that that's what we're working with and they appreciate it. And then how about the guys, you know, the proverbial guys in the truck, right? The guys that are cutting the film that are coming back with the replays, which as we've all been watching World Cup for the last few weeks is a little unique because they don't go to commercial, there's no break in the action. You have to squeeze the replay back in. How tightly do you work with those guys? Is that part of your program within the marketing campaign? We have a general oversight of that department, but really the people at Comcast handle that. Those guys are professional sports directors, technical directors, producers. They know how to cut in the highlights the best, but soccer does provide a challenge for them because, you know, it's not like baseball, it's not like football. There are no stoppages during the game and ball goes out of bounds for five seconds. You've got to squeeze in the highlight when you can and hope you finish it before, you know, something exciting is going on down the pitch. All right, so we're going to give you the opportunity to break some news, right? You guys are going to open up Levi's Stadium. We've been down there, we do a lot of shows at the San Jose Convention Center really under the shadow or excuse me, Santa Clara Convention Center under the shadow of Levi's Stadium. We know all about it. It's going to be, you know, the most cutting-edge fan experience. Have you got any inside scoop as you start to plan for your game? Because the earthquakes are opening Levi's Stadium. What's going on down there? What do you got there that you don't have here, new toys? To be honest, the only time I've been to Levi's, I was in a helicopter flying over it. So I haven't been on the ground. I haven't seen any of their control room, but I'm really looking forward to starting to play with their toys. Yeah, they got their toys.  We heard in March. So can you share with us some of the unique things you're looking forward to? They're finally when you guys are no longer the Nomads and you end up in your own facility. Yeah, the thing I'm looking forward to is the scoreboard. It's going to be one of the biggest scoreboards in the Bay Area, if not the biggest, rivaling the Giants. And then we'll have a full ribbon of LED boards, which is something that very few MLS teams have. So all those different elements are going to be a lot of fun to play with. Plus I have to mention our scoreboard is going to be double-sided. So if you're driving down Coleman Avenue, you'll be able to see our game on one side of the scoreboard. And if you're in the venue, you'll be able to see the same thing from your seats. Forget Coleman Avenue. What about all the planes going in and out of San Jose International? Hopefully we'll catch a few new fans with that. Oh, absolutely. And I'm sure you got something planned. I'm still waiting. I keep asking. No one's answered the question. What happens when a plane takes off? It's got to tie back to some fun loud event inside the stadium. Yeah, I don't know. I don't think we have anything planned for that yet. Well, Chris is really busy. We've got to let him get back down to the board. Those guys are getting keyed up. It's how long till we have kickoff here? Oh, geez. We're about an hour out. When does things start getting squirrely? Around 7 o'clock. Around 7 o'clock. All right. We'll let Chris get back to you. So, Chris, thanks for coming on theCUBE. We're on the rooftop of Stanford Stadium. I can't hardly see in the bright sunlight. It's the California Classico Fourth Edition. The Galaxy, the Quakes. It's going to be a lot of fun. We're going to be here all night. We're going to be capturing film from the field, from the fans. And we've seen from a lot of the folks here making it happen behind the scenes with the earthquakes. I'm Jeff Frick, you're with theCUBE. We'll be right back.


Yes, there is a new king with true wireless buds and yes again, it's from Sony. Now before you fight me and think there's so many others out there, let's find out in the video. So for the past year, the Sony WF-1000 Mark IIIs have been my go-to favorite pair of true wireless buds. In terms of audio quality, it's been impeccable. It's also got some really great noise cancellation and wait for authors is the fact that of course it's got a bulky case and it doesn't have that great of a microphone. So here comes the SP800N. Now Sony, please let's change the name and structure of your your products can get a little confusing but the SP800N comes in bringing in a lot of features that you will find familiar but also taking things to a very different level. Now the price at $199 and what you have here is something of course that comes in quite a rather large case. That's the first thing you'll notice. Sony tends to make larger cases for their true wireless buds and that's just the way it is. The case has USB type-C charging which would give you 60 minutes with a 10 minute charge and in terms of battery life, you get in an extra nine hours if of course you have in noise cancellation or an extra 13. So you can get nine with the earbuds themselves, nine in the case, or of course it will increase with that as well and we'll talk about the battery life in a second. Now taking a closer look at the earbuds themselves, they are on the larger side now if you compare them to the Pixel Buds or the Galaxy Buds Plus they are larger than both of them you know as you can clearly see but what they do have is some really interesting features and functionality and also we get to the audio as well.  The first thing you notice is that they fit really well.  The other thing of course friends talking about running is that these are sweat and water resistant so which means if you're going for a run like be running outside here these will not fall out of your ears at all because they're built for that and that's also a huge step from the WF-1000 Mark III from last year and I'm glad to see that with these of course. Now in terms of controls you've got touch controls on each ear cup and they are customizable within the app which we'll talk about but they're very simple controls on your right ear cup, one tap to pause and play, double tap to skip forward, triple tap to skip back, press and hold basically allows you to access your voice assistance. Now on the left earbud you've got a tap which basically cycles you through noise cancellation ambient mode on off and that's pretty much it. Now you can switch those functionalities plus of course people who love to use just a single earbud you can do that too and have the functionality although if you're going to use the left one you have to change the controls within the application itself. So speaking of the other feature noise cancellation this is something that WF-1000 Mark III did really well and a lot of people like it in a lot of true wireless buds we've seen them with the Apple Airports Pro but I think the WF-1000 Mark III's had probably the best active noise cancellation and it continues right here. I will say not as intense as the WF-1000 but the SB 800 ends do have some really solid noise cancellation the ambient mode works out really well. Now within the application you can go in there and you can customize the noise cancellation but you do have the ability to use something pretty cool called adaptive sound control which basically judges your location and maps it out so you can change between if you're staying at home, if you're walking, if you're running or if you're in commuter transportation changing your noise canceling levels and also the ambient sound for you and that's an easy way to use it. The app itself is quite rich and basically one of the best apps I've seen for true wireless pair of earbuds. You've got the sound option to help you customize your ambient sound the equalizer gives you a huge range and I'll talk about that more with the audio. You've got 360 audio as well the setup process and you go to sound quality mode then you have the system shows you how to customize of course the controls in each earbud and you also have the ability to do a few other settings as well. Now when it comes to audio which is one of the biggest things you care about these are great they sound really really good. I mean the soundstage is really nice it's a large soundstage but not too big so it doesn't feel like it's floating around. These instrument separations are really clean I mean very very clean. Now when it compares to audio with the WF-1000 mark 3s I think they're about the same this is where the benefit of not having the noise canceling levels as the WF come to play. So you get a cleaner separation between especially when you have ANC on between the instrument so you can hear those syllables really well you can hear the separations from your mids highs and lows everything feels really spread out within that you know soundstage it makes it so clear so clean the highs are so good oh my god they're good they are really good and check this out it also has a little extra bass as well yes these have some extra bass so all you bass fans you get that tucked in there you get that so if you really want just a little more umph in your sound it delivers I mean this thing absolutely delivers it is fantastic so couple that I think it's a excellent audio replication especially what you're trying to listen to depends on what song you are listening to whether it's hip-hop jazz if you're listening to instrumentals you can listen to uh orchestral music you can listen to movie soundtracks you know uh from Han Zimmer like I do uh you know anime songs doesn't matter it works house beat techno you name it now the other thing we care about of course is the microphone now with a lot of people using true wireless buds and the fact that we are you know stuck at home we have to make a lot of phone calls the mic is really really important this is where the wf-1000 mark 3 didn't set the mark last year and I have to tell you the sb-800 ends do a fantastic job really great microphones conversations were clear and clean people didn't realize I was on true wireless buds they just enjoyed the conversation I like the fact that it was clean and robust I think this is where sony really did a huge improvement and took things a step forward for people to use now in terms of battery life you're looking at nine hours noise canceling is what sony says and it is pretty much nine hours nine hours straight with the earbuds and you've got an extra nine hours within the case now of course you take the noise cancellation off you get a bit more and I'll say the battery life is really solid you get what you're paying for and it comes out well I think the overall nature of these earbuds are just really nice there are things that I think it does really well and things I think a lot of consumers will really appreciate because the audio is pretty much top notch noise canceling is up there with one of the best maybe not as good as the wf-1000 mark 3's but really close um you've also got a great microphone and rivals the galaxy buds plus or even the earbuds pro uh so you've got a clean microphone for conversations uh and you've got a great app that allows you to enhance your listening experience and use those active noise cancellation roles altogether now it's not perfect and I know that uh it's still lacking a few things I'm a bit disappointed that with a case this large and also the price point it doesn't have wireless charging now you don't necessarily need it but with the advent of course of reverse wireless charging in many smartphones and the fact that's an easier way to just charge them within the case it does beg to question why sony actually left that out and I'm a bit disappointed there with that and also I wish the case was smaller I get it that you know you've got bigger sized earbuds but I wish the case was smaller because when you put in your pocket it bulges out quite large and it kind of reminds me again of the wf-1000 mark 3's from last year but overall you can't deny and trust me when you try them out you will go yes sony you've made a pair of true wireless buds that sound fantastic they sound great and to me with the audio quality noise cancellation and the microphone plus the battery life this is the new king so of course something else comes out maybe the wf mark 4's but this is the new king of true wireless buds and yes app me on this let me know what you think let me know which is better because I can tell you this is better than the galaxy buds plus the airpods pro the pixel buds you name it this hits tomorrow so if you have any question guys let me know otherwise don't forget to like share subscribe and always enjoy your entertainment


So parenting on purpose, I want to read to you Deuteronomy six verse six through nine. It says this, these commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts and press them on your children.  Write them on the door frames of your houses and on your gates. This passage, this is right when the Lord had given, you know, Israel the commandments and I'm just really encouraged by what this passage is saying here. It's funny because we read this and there's a lot of symbolic talk here. It says tie them as symbols on your hands, bind them on your foreheads. Well, what does that mean? I'm reading this and when I look at this first and foremost, I see intentionality. It's so crazy because when God gives a command, it's not just for you. It's for your family. God is a God who is about family. He is a family oriented God. And so right off the bat, when he gives a command to his people, he's already giving the command to train your children in the Lord. God expects us to be intentional and it says this here, bind them, tie them as symbols on your hands, bind them on your foreheads and to me that speaks of my hands should be symbolic of the will of God. When I am doing things with my hands, when I am working, my life, my hands should be symbolic of God's will and on my forehead it should be bind on my forehead that everywhere I go when people look at me, they see God's will. When my children look at me, they see God's desire. On top of that it says this, write them on your door frames of your houses and on your gates. To me this means that our homes should reflect God's command, God's will, God's purpose and desire.  You're entering into a place of safety, of refuge, a place of holiness, of righteousness, and I don't know about you but I want that to be evident in my home, amen? Intentionality and I think there's a reason why God emphasizes intentionality in raising our children and it's here in Judges 210-12 and I'm reading in the NET version. It says this, that entire generation passed away, a new generation grew up that had not personally experienced the Lord's presence or had seen what he had done for Israel. The Israelites did evil before the Lord by worshiping the Baals. They abandoned the Lord, the Lord God of their ancestors who brought them out of the land of Egypt. They followed other gods, the gods of nations who lived around them and they worshiped them and they made the Lord angry. There's something powerful in this statement. It says this, a new generation grew up and they had not personally experienced the Lord. We're always one generation away of a spiritual legacy being lost. Do you understand that church? It's important that we talk about parenting today because we are always one generation away of the spiritual legacy in our home being abandoned. In the book of Judges, this was a common experience that happened. It happens many times in the book of Judges where they have a judge rise up, the people of Israel, they follow the Lord and then it repeats the same phrase but they did not teach their children and their children fell away. In other words, I'm paraphrasing there. But this happened time and time again and it was always one generation away within the family for the spiritual legacy to be lost. So that gives an urgency in my spirit that should give us an urgency in our homes that there should be intentionality in what we do, amen? So with that said, what does intentionality look like? I know all of us have a lot of different things and I hope today as I share with you that there might be something that's insightful, something that resonates with your spirit of maybe what God is speaking to you. I'm not here to necessarily give you all the tips and tricks that I've learned because I'm still learning them. But there are things that I know the Lord has put on my heart that I believe will stand the test of time regardless of what age you are, regardless of what age your children are, amen? So the first thing is this, and you can write this down if you're taking notes. Be parented by the Lord. Be parented by the Lord. You know, our prayer, when we're talking about being parents, we should be asking this prayer, God, parent me so I can parent them. Parent me so I can parent them. They're so quick sometimes to want to try and figure out, okay, what are the tips and tricks? What are the things I need to do? How am I going to implement discipline in my home? What are the practical things I'm going to do today? But let me tell you this, there's nothing more important than you first asking the Lord, parent me. Parent me so I can parent them. Our best parenting comes. I truly believe this. Our best parenting comes when we think less about being great parents of children and we think about being great children of God. Did you hear me this morning? When you focus less on trying to be a great parent to your child and you actually just focus on being a great child of God, something happens as a byproduct. It affects your home. This is why I think it's so important that he says, bind it on your hands. Wear it on your forehead, everywhere you go. Because at the core of what it means to be a parent is discipleship. We talk about discipleship in the church, but people don't often realize that parenting is discipleship. These children that God has entrusted me with, even though they're my flesh and blood, they belong to Jesus and it's my responsibility as a steward of what God has given me, not only because of the great commission, but because of the family bond that we have, the blood line that I'm carrying, the legacy that God has given me, I am discipling him in the Lord and I can't do that if I'm not first following him himself. Does that make sense? So be parented by the Lord. As they speak louder than words, Psalms 103 verse eight through 10, and I'm going to read the passion translation just because I really love the way that it says this, Lord, you're so kind and tenderhearted and so patient with people who fail you. Your love is like a flooding river overflowing its banks with kindness. You don't look at us only to find our faults, just so that you can hold a grudge against us. You may discipline us for our many sins, but never as much as we really deserve, nor do you even get even with us for what we've done. The same way, and this is verse 13, the same way a loving father feels toward his children, that is but a sample of your tender feelings towards us, your beloved children who live in all of you. Man, there's a lot to unpack in that, but I just want you to hear that passage. That alone can teach you so much about what it is to be not only a son, but also a father, to not only be a daughter, but also a mother. When you begin to see the way that the Lord treats you, it's so easy to then turn around and do the same. None of us will have an excuse. I don't know what. If I don't know what to do, if I follow in the way that the Lord is leading me and teaching me and guiding me, then I have the perfect example of what it means to raise and disciple my own children. Actions, they speak louder than words. Ephesians 6-4, it says this, fathers don't exasperate your children, but raise them up with loving discipline and counsel that brings revelation from the Lord. In other words, that word exasperate, it means don't reprimand, don't just dig into your kids all the time. Chances are they're probably not listening to you anyways. But raise them up in discipline, train them, instead show them, coach them, show them what it means to live for the Lord. You know, some of us are really good at telling our kids what not to do, and we should be focusing on trying to port our kids in the direction of what they should do. You know, a really great example of this within our own church, and some of you may not even realize it, one of the fathers, the father of this house, Pastor Vassili, what he's done for us, even though we are not his physical children, what he's done for us is that he didn't just tell us what not to do, he showed us what we should do.  And in fact, many of the parents, and I only know this not because I speak Russian, but because of what has been told to me, is that many of the parents in the time that our church was beginning, and we were speaking in English, and Pastor Vassili was sending out his sons and his nephews to go out and do ministry, is that they were saying, they're too young, and focusing on not trying to get them plugged in, and they were, he's sending them into the school to be a light, and then on the other side, there was parents saying, this is ridiculous, you know, this is too much.  A lot of the parents who were so afraid of trying to protect their kids from the world, and just try and treat them as one thing and telling them what not to do, and they failed to do the very thing they should have done, which is showing them what to do. And there's a difference in the young men, the now grown men, who were standing on this stage because they weren't only told, don't do this, don't do that, although that did happen because discipline and correction is necessary, but what was more than that was the pushing forward, was the constant saying, here, move this direction, do this, watch me, imitate me as I imitate Christ.  Everything else would come as a byproduct, and you know what, there's something beautiful about that because that means that you don't have to be the one that comes up with all of the right things, you don't have to invent the wheel, God already did that, you don't have to carry the final burden of parenting, you carry a burden, but not the final burden, and that allows you and frees you up to just follow someone rather than trying to figure out how you're doing, because let's be real, none of us really know what we're doing as parents, we're kind of just making it up as we go. But the beautiful part about being a child of God is that we have the ultimate example, and all we have to do is follow, if we follow, so will they, you know, and they will see by our example because it's bound on our heads, it's symbolic in our hands, it's in our home, the environment is a safe place, and all of these things play into it and impresses upon the hearts of our children. And within that thing, before I move on to the next point, I want to point out this thing, be parented by the Lord, because if not your childhood that you had will play into your parenthood, did you hear me? We have to first address our childhood before we can address our parenthood, until I understand my own upbringing, I don't know how, I don't know what I need to do as a parent in its fullness. We're building legacies here, and for some of us, we're tearing down strongholds in generational curses, we're tearing down the wrong kind of legacy, and we're building up new ones. So we have to pay attention and address our own childhood, let me give you an example, there was a woman that came to one of our player lines one time and I got the privilege of counseling her and talking to her, and she basically had come and said, please help, my son is severely demon possessed, I don't know what to do, you know, it's beyond, nobody can help, counselors can't help, so on and so forth, and you know, it was really interesting as I began to talk to her, and no doubt the son needed some serious inter-healing, he needed some serious spiritual work, but as we began to talk it became very evident that this didn't just come out of nowhere. You see this mother, she had some issues with her own mother, and her own mother used to, in a very, very bad way, bribe her with everything that she did, everything in the house is a bribe, what discipline looked like in the house was a bribe, if you do this, if I buy you this toy, then you have to do all these good things, if I go and get you this snack, then you have the promise to be good at school today, and all these things, and everything in the house, and that's not even the gist of it, I want to just be careful for her own sake to not share too much, but everything in discipline became a bribe, and what that translated for the mother was that while when she did the right thing it seemed like, man I got something good, instead of realizing I need to do the right thing because it's the right thing, but moreover it became actually a tactic that the mother used for manipulation and control, and everything that the child had, you see when you're a small child that you may not recognize it, but as you grow up every little thing in your life, you know, has been bribed to you, nothing is given to you, just because they're your parent, everything you owe, you owe, and now there's this bribe, and she would be constantly be held to that, it'd be one thing of saying, hey good job, you did a good job, there's nothing wrong with rewarding, but then turning around and now holding them like that your child can never just have anything, it kind of messed with her brain, and it was kind of an extreme situation, but what had happened is out of this relationship with her mom that turned into manipulation and control, she then went into her own parenthood on the exact opposite, she was so afraid to withhold things from her son that she let him have everything, and that is also not healthy, you know, sometimes in our own efforts we try to not do what our parents did, so we go way to the other extreme, but oftentimes that's not going to be the right solution for us, she went to this other extreme to the point where even the things that were harmful for her son, she was allowing to have exposure, even at the age of three, four, five, having exposure to things, having access to things, because she was so afraid that he might feel rejected if he didn't get what he wanted, you see how your childhood affects your parenthood and until you address it, because the real answer actually is in the middle, it's having the balance between being able to reward your children and withhold, like God who gives and takes away, and there's nothing wrong with that, and when you have a healthy dynamic, you can understand the intricacies of that rather than it just being you gave and then you took, but when there's a healthy dynamic in the home, they understand the intricacies of what that meant and what that actually looks like, and so she failed to have that in her home and it affected her parenthood, so I just want to encourage us, be parented by the Lord, address your childhood, make sure that you're tearing down generational curses, make sure you're tearing down generational strongholds, some of us, we didn't have parents, some of us, the parents we had, they were doing the best with what they had, they were doing the best that they could with what they had, but for you, you have God the Father who loves you, who treats you tender kindly, he treats you better than you deserve, and allow him to guide you, first allow him to heal you, but then allow him to guide you in training your children, amen? Amen. Number two, I want us to take notice of the norm, take notice of the norm. Many of us, we have a lot of great ideas when it comes to parenting, we have, well you know what, every night I need to have my prayer time with my kids, I know growing up with me and my parents, what they established as a tradition in our home, every Saturday, especially as kids, we grow, as we grew up it kind of faded out, but as kids on Saturday before Sunday happened, we would actually come together and they'd read the Bible to us, and that was a great tradition, I still remember that, I still remember the children's Bible that my dad would read, and those are all really great, I'm sure that God is going to be creative in showing you what traditions you're going to build in your home, I'm sure God is going to give you insights that's going to be best and most beneficial to your family dynamic, but what I want to ask of us is to not necessarily look around for some fancy thing that we can do to bring into our home, but yet take a look at what's normal in our home, realize the significance of normal, now what do I mean by that? Do you guys know what a liturgy is? For those of you who don't know, I have here on the notes, a liturgy is a form or set of forms according to which public religious worship, especially Christian worship, is conducted. Now our Sunday mornings, to give you an example for those of you who are still trying to get caught up, this would be considered our liturgical process, our liturgical task that we're doing. Here coming on Sunday mornings, we open up with songs of worship, and then we go into a time where we give unto the Lord our finances as an act of worship, we have a testimony where we give glory to God for the things that he's done, and then we come and we partake in a word. This is our form that we have in our church that helps us understand what it means to walk with the Lord, it's a practice, it's a repeated process in our life that gives the form of our worship. Do you follow me? I want us to think of our child raising from the perspective of liturgies in the home. What practices do we have in our home, either by default or on purpose, are shaping our children's view of God? I want to give you an example. So one of the practices, and I've shared this in sermons before, one of the practices that I do with my children before bed is I pray with them and then I speak life over them, I prophesy over them, and I do this every night. It's my liturgy in the home. And so this is something that I practice, it's kind of like one of those significant points that I hope my kids remember, but one day I was doing this liturgy in my home and the Lord convicted me, hardcore, like, you know, I could share this with you guys, wow, that's really cool. I've actually had the last time I preached a sermon, someone coming in and he's like, man, man, I wish I'm doing that with my kids, I wish I would have done that. I'm thinking, yeah, that was really cool. Well, one of these days the Lord actually convicted me because here I am, bath time happens.  I can't get him to come to the bath. I've already told him many times, so I'm, hey, come here, come here, you know. I'm already losing my temper because I can't control him.  I don't even want to give you milk because you're going to pee your pants if you do and so I'm just like feeling all this stress and I'm just snapping, I'm snapping, I'm taskmaster, do this, do that and I just have no peace, right? How many have been there before?  It wasn't about what was the significant thing I was doing, it was about what was normal. My normal was that my kids were seeing me angry for 45 minutes and for about two minutes they're seeing me tell them that God loves them and at dawn I'm like, I wonder what my kids think God's love looks like based off of that 45 minute repetitive thing that we do every night. What do my kids think God's love looks like and what do they think my love looks like because after I was just snapping at them this whole time and it says God loves you, I realized what's the most significant is my normal and I want to ask you what's normal in your home. Is it normal for your kids to hear you nag all the time? Is it normal for your kids to hear more negative than they do positive from you? Is it normal for your kids to feel like you're not present? Is it normal in your home? And don't get me wrong, we all have our moments. Again, if you have a moment, it doesn't mean you're a bad parent, but when those moments turn into every day, turn into weeks, turn into months, turn into years, they become repeated liturgies, so to speak, forms of how it's the how to or what. And so I just want to ask you to pay attention to what's normal. What are you teaching your children by accident? And you know, that challenged me and I began to ask the Lord, well, how do I fix this because you know, my kids are wild and this is their age and I could easily write it off as that, you know. And you know, otherwise, you know, a little bit of, a little bit of like, you know, rough and tough love, you know, is not going to hurt them, but I also knew that's not what I wanted to build. So I was like, Lord, how do I, how do I change my normal? And you know what it did? It caused me to go on a journey of reflection because I realized my children were only reflecting what was going on inside of me. Again, address your childhood before you can address your parenthood. And I realized, man, you know what, there's a lot of turmoil that I'm carrying, frustrations, stresses, you know what? It's actually, I realized my kids were just trying to have fun and I would have been able to calm them down if I first was calm. But the reality was, and I looked at that day, that day was very stressful for me. And so I came home bearing my stress. I came home with that. And when I came to them, when they're coming, daddy, you know, because they see me, I'm tired already. I can't take it right now. I want to be available, but you know, and so it just one thing led into another. We all have those days, but make sure that those days don't turn into your normal. Amen. Realize that communication is always happening, even when you're not speaking. Your actions speak louder than your words. And how you do things oftentimes is communicating to your children the what more than you realize. Amen. Number three, don't punish for telling the truth. Don't punish for telling the truth. Now, I got to be honest right now. My kids are still young in this stage. So the things that I would tell Mike, that I tell my kids when, when they tell the truth, the ramifications of their actions, they don't have, I can, I can practice this really easy right now. But I'll tell you this. I have led an internship program prior to being a parent for at least six and a half years, working with teenagers day in and day out. And there are some really valuable lessons that I learned that even though I'm not a parent of teen, I dealt with all the teens who had parents who did certain ways of, of methods of, of parenting. And there was actually a very common thing that I found to be true is that we need to make our play, our homes a safe place to share things. So in my home, I've decided this, that I don't want to punish my children for telling the truth. Now, let me explain myself because some of us here are like, wait a minute, this is getting really soft here. You know, let me explain. Confession is an act of repentance of a repentant heart when, if my kid comes to me and tells me something that they're afraid to tell me or that they're afraid to tell anybody, if they tell me that, then that shows me that they, they felt they bared the weight of the, the guilt in their heart already so much so that they, they had a change of heart. They confessed to me something and I don't want to punish them for actually doing the right thing. Even if they first did the wrong thing, I would want my home to be the place where my kids can come to and talk about things. For example, I, the way most of kids in America today learn about sex and drugs is from their friends, not from parents. I personally would rather be a parent where my kids come and talk to me about those things because then I can control that conversation. I can make sure that it's happening in a healthy manner. Now it's a tough conversation to have, but I would much rather them hear about it from me than from the internet or from Tik Tok or from their friend who is experimenting in those things. So I want to build a home that's safe enough for my kids to share. That, what that looks like then is when they share, they don't get in trouble because most of the time what happens is this, when a kid screws up, they go, oh man, and I know I did this growing up. I used to go like this. I'm like, man, I really messed up. I gotta run.  But I would rather have this instead.  Oh man, I gotta go tell my dad he'll know what to do. I would much rather have that response. Even if it makes it look like, seemingly, it makes it look like that I'm not disciplining my children. Romans 10, 9, declare with your mouth, Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead and you will be saved. If it was good enough for God, it should be good enough for me. God doesn't punish us for our sin when we confess. If that's good enough for God, that should be good enough for me. Now that doesn't mean that there's not consequences, but punishment is a different thing. And fearing that my relationship with my parent will change if I don't share, or if I share it, that shouldn't be the thing that we should have in our homes. So we should create an atmosphere where it's okay to tell the truth. And that leads me into point number four, which is discipline is an act of love. Proverbs 3, 11 through 12, it says this, my child, do not despise discipline from the Lord and do not loathe his rebuke for the Lord disciplines those he loves just as a father disciplines the son in whom he delights. Did you hear that? The Lord disciplines those he loves so don't loathe his rebuke. They're still disciplined. They're still rebuke. But it's an act of love and not an act of anger or retaliation or exerting your dominance. Some of you are not yet convinced on this. Some of us, we grew up only associating the word discipline with anger, when in reality discipline has to do with correction and instruction and leading and guiding someone. And so, yes, there's going to be correction and there's consequences for our actions. But there's a difference when our consequences lead to restoration or if our consequences lead to alienation. Those are the differences between discipline and punishment. I just want to give you an example, a case study, if you will, of Adam and Eve. Many think that God's decision to remove Adam and Eve was an act of retaliation or possibly discussed like, you messed up, get out of my garden, get out of my house. And some of us, we look at that man, God was really angry. He was really exerting his authority and punishment on his children for messing up. But I want to reach you Genesis 222. It says, And the Lord God said, Now that man has become like one of us, knowing good and evil, he must not be allowed to stretch out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat it and live forever. You know, what's interesting is that actually what we don't see, and I believe it, I believe that it's the enemy's narrative that he's trying to push that see God doesn't love you. That's why if he really loved you, he would have let you stay in the garden, but he kicked you out. See, he abandoned you. And your relationship with him is based on how good you can work for him. And when you don't do good, he kicks you out. I believe that's exactly what the devil wants us to think. But the reality is this, if Adam and Eve would have eaten from the tree of life, they would have made their sin nature permanent. Did you catch that? They would have made their problems permanent. The damage would be permanent in them.  I have to remove you. That's a consequence for your action. You have to be removed. But what do you see? He clothed them at the same time. In the process of him removing and setting boundaries, God was setting boundaries so they wouldn't continue to destroy themselves. But in the same action, he was clothing them. And then what did God do for the next thousand years is this. He developed covenants with man. Going on this journey of trying to restore humanity back to relationship with him, ultimately to the point where it led to himself dying on the cross and then cleaning up our mess once and for all, restoring us to right relationship with him. And the very thing that was damaging to us is our victory now. It's our testimony. And it's the very thing that we don't have to struggle with the sin nature anymore because of Christ, right? He made it to where we now have that constant communion with him. So was it God's punishment by kicking him out of the garden or was it God's loving discipline? It's his discipline and discipline is an act of love. Because I love you, I'm going to set boundaries. Because I love you, I'm not going to allow you to do these things. The enemy will have you think that it's the other way around because God's mad at you and because he hates you. The enemy will try to convince you of that, but it is God's love. It's those whom he loves, he disciplines. And so it's so important for us to catch that. So important for us to catch that because then we have the right frame of mind when it comes to our own children and catch this. His discipline matched the transgression. His discipline matched the transgression. Sometimes for us as parents when we get really angry and we're just so offended by what our son or daughter did, we over-discipline. We come in with these crazy punishments that'll, yeah, that'll really teach them. We just feel this justice that we have to serve. Oh yeah, they're going to really pay for this one. And sometimes we overdo it and it comes back to our liturgies. It comes back to what's normal in your home. Is it normal for your kids to see you retaliate or is it normal for them to see healthy, godly discipline? So it's important for us to pay attention to that. If my consequence leads to alienation, then it's punishment. If my consequence leads to restoration, then it's discipline. If I only changed their behavior, it was a punishment. If I also changed their belief, it was discipline. If I only changed their hands, it was punishment. And if I also changed their heart, it was discipline. Did you catch that? The whole point of repentance and our children coming back and listening and obeying is not just so that they obey when I'm around. I'm actually trying to raise someone up to be a decent human being in society. I'm actually trying to raise someone up who wants to do the things that I'm asking them to do. So it's important that I pay attention to how I discipline because how I discipline will determine whether or not it was punishment or whether it was that loving discipline that we're talking about. It's the difference between does it restore them? Does it make them right again? Or does it push them away? And that often comes down to making sure that our discipline never goes above or below their transgression. The consequence should always match the level of transgression, nothing less, nothing more. Otherwise it's not love. If the consequence is less, then I'm condoning destructive behavior. And if it's more, then I'm ruining my relationship. Do you follow? We have to be extremely intentional, purposeful parenting. I want us to rise up. I believe the Lord is wanting to develop godly legacies in this house. Amen. I want us to pray. If you're a parent, just raise your hand right now. Awesome, awesome. I want you to look around and find another parent. And those of you who are children, you can also just find another parent. I just want you to lay hands on each other. We're going to pray for each other right now as parents. And I just want us to ask the Lord, parent me so I can parent them. I want us to pray. Lord, help me develop godly legacy. Lord, help me to be the kind of father, the kind of mother that restores my children rather than alienates them. Let's just begin to pray. Lord Jesus, I thank you for your presence. I thank you for your anointing that you have given each one of us as parents in this house. Lord, to be the example in our homes. I thank you, Jesus, that you have given us such a high calling to raise our children for the Lord, to be disciple makers in our home. I thank you, Jesus, for your grace and your anointing God that is upon every single one of us. Lord, whatever background we came from, whatever the enemy has tried to do in our family lineage before, trying to cause destruction, trying to cause division. Lord, I thank you that you're rewriting legacies, you're rewriting history for families here today. I thank you, Jesus, that where we have had lack, you are the ultimate father.   I just pray for every parent here that we would carry a burden and an urgency in our heart to be better parents, to be parents that honor you first with our own lives, but in the way that we raise our children. Thank you, Holy Spirit. I pray, Holy Spirit, those parents who are feeling tired, who are feeling weak, who are burnt out because their child went off into the world and is struggling with drugs and alcohol. For the parent who their child right now might be struggling with transgenderism, homosexuality. I pray, Holy Spirit, first and foremost, for your peace over that home, the reality of your grace over that home. And secondly, right now in the name of Jesus, whatever demonic spirit is attacking their household, whatever attack is coming against their children, we rebuke it right now in the name of Jesus. We command you to let God's people go.  This house shall serve the Lord. As for me in my house, we will serve the Lord. Every attack on the household right now in the name of Jesus, Lord, send your grace, your anointing that breaks the yoke. Let it be released over every household right now in the name of Jesus. Those who are watching online, Holy Spirit, I pray that you would reach their family, reach the single mother right now who is tired and weak. I pray, Holy Spirit, that single father who's trying to figure out things on their own. God, I pray for your fathering touch. Parent them, Lord. Parent us, Lord, so that we can raise children who serve you with all their heart, who will carry our legacy to win souls, make disciples, to be someone who loves you with all their heart, all their mind and all their soul in Jesus' name.

Freedom! Today I wanted to talk to you about the YouTube Partner Program. Now a lot of you think you know about the YouTube Partner Program, but things are changing. So let's talk about that. First thing you know is that YouTube and Freedom are investing in your success.  YouTube has some awesome features coming up that I want to make sure everybody's a part of, and that's why we have this change. The YouTube Partner Program is now being opened up to people within MCNs, which is awesome, because it allows you further access to new revenue streams and new deals as they come across. During the month of December 2015, YouTube partners within MCNs will receive an invite to the YouTube Partner Program. And of course you can accept these new terms in your monetization tab of your YouTube Creator Studio. If you'd like to link to that, link in the description down below. After you sign, there's absolutely no difference with how you work operationally with Freedom, so nothing changes. Except you get more awesome-ness. Awesome, you get more awesome-ness? Maybe you got a little bit more awesome too. If you don't see the option to sign up after December 2015, you can always contact Support. Again, link in the description of every Freedom video where you can reach out to our support and go, hey, what's going on? Keep in mind that some channels for whatever reason may not be able to join this program, so you may not get an invite. If you think you're one of those channels, just make sure you wait until after December 2015 to reach out to support and ask, hey, what's going on? As a member of the YouTube Partner Program, you'll gain faster access to cool new features that YouTube rolls out. So we won't end up with, you know, that huge lag time that sometimes exists between what YouTube direct partners get and what everyone else gets sometimes. YouTube and Freedom collaborated to make this happen, so keep that in mind. And if you're seeing this video after you've signed up, you are part of the collaboration too. Yeah! Some of those features that I was talking about are things like revenue sharing and being able to monetize cover songs. More on that later. So how do you sign up? Very easy. Go to your Creator dashboard. Now, that's not your Freedom dashboard. That's your YouTube dashboard. And you should see a link somewhere on the page. It'll beep blue and it'll beep YouTubey. And it'll say, sign up here. And then that's what you do. You just follow that through. And after you're done, you're good to go. That means that you are partnered with Freedom, but you're also partnered through YouTube. Through the YouTube Creator Program. YPP, you're done with YPP? Yeah, you know me! Old song reference. I'm old. Clicking the button will take you to your new monetization settings page. So keep that in mind and do pay attention because things may have changed. You'll also be presented with something that looks like a terms of service or an EULA. You should probably read this and not just click right through. Like I did. And here's a quick FAQ for those of you who still have questions. If you haven't already typed in a comment section down below. If you have any other questions, you can ask at support. Link in the description down below. Once you sign the agreement, are you still part of Freedom? Of course you are. You're always a part of the Freedom family if you want to be. So as far as new features and what you gain access to, that's new revenue streams, cover song licensing, all kinds of stuff like that. We're still getting new information as we go. So right now it's very much in its infancy, but hopefully will grow over time. I'm currently with Freedom. Should I sign this agreement? Of course you should. Like I said earlier in the video, you get all the good stuff, none of the bad. Go ahead, read over the terms and stuff and you'll see. You get all kinds of new features and there's supposed to be stuff coming fairly regularly and new deals and new stuffages. So yeah, short answer. Only if you want to be awesome. Does anything change as far as payments? Nope. Everything still comes to you every month through PayPal, just like Freedom does everything else. So yeah, how does the cover song revenue stuff work? Details are still being worked out. However, the bare bones or the gist of it is if you cover a song or if you use a song that you do has an agreement with the creator or the rights holder in your videos, you can share the revenue rather than having it claimed and you losing all revenue. So there may still be a claim, but you will get part of the revenue for the video, which is kind of nice because sometimes you just really want to use a certain song or it just fits. So hopefully now this won't catch you off guard. If you have any other questions, comments, matters of concern, let us know in the comment section down below. Don't forget to like, subscribe and do all those things that make me love my job. Also be awesome to yourself and amazing to each other.


What is going on guys, welcome back to the channel and I do appreciate you being here. Today I bring you another Destiny 2 video and today we have a little bit of news about Eververse and some massive changes coming to the arm she offers and the wait will work come September with the release of Shadowkeep. But before we go any further guys, if you enjoyed the video and would like to show you support you can by hitting that like button and if you are new around here enjoy a daily Destiny 2 videos be sure to subscribe ok so Bungie earlier today dropped an update about 4 Eververse changes and I'm just going to really awe to you guys and give you guys my opinion on this and why I think it's absolutely amazing so let's get into it. Hey everybody like we did a few weeks ago on the live stream we are going to continue to talk about how Destiny will continue to evolve this fall and beyond. This update is about how we're changing Eververse. We've already made a number of changes to Eververse in season of Occulents. We've redesigned a store, we've made bright engrams that only include year one gear and have it bias heavily toward giving you items you haven't unlocked in your collections and we're going to make more changes to the economy store and armor in this falls patch. Ok so the armor, it stinks to go to the Eververse store and see an item that looks cool and then seeing that the item has bad perks on it. In fact when we are setting up the armor we twist ourselves up in knots to make sure that Eververse armor sets didn't have good perks. We did this because we want the best way to get sweet perks on your armor to be by playing the game not shopping for enhanced hand cannon orders at Tess. The root cause dating all the way back to Destiny 1 is that Eververse armor has always had perks gameplay capability as part of the package. We are done with that. As of this September all Eververse armor is being converted into universal ornaments. These universal ornaments can be applied to all of the legendary armor sets we released in this fall. They override the look of your equipped gear while preserving the perks, mods and the stats of the original item. Any Eververse armor you have acquired in your collections will have its universal ornaments automatically unlocked for use on new legendary armor. For example if the song in your heart is to have your Titan role with the 2018 Tin Manesque Festival of the Lost helmet you can put it on any of the new legendary armor coming to the game this fall. And we can see an example via a picture on screen now how a helmet will have multiple ornaments which will have been in the past Eververse gear. Okay so moving on to evolving Bruteite Dust. Historically the best way to earn Bruteite Dust in Destiny 2 has been to buy a bunch of Bruteite engrams. Shard everything from the engrams, build up a giant bankroll of Bruteite Dust and then spend it when the warlock Daya Ahamkau helmet shows up the Bruteite Dust role in the last week of the season. We're going to change this. This fall we're changing Bruteite Dust from a pay and or play to earn currency to a play to earn reward. We're adding Bruteite Dust as a reward for completing Vanguard Crucible and Gambit Bounties. We want all players to earn dust for playing not for spending money and destroying a bunch of items in their inventory. After you can play all your bounties for the week there will be an additional avenue to keep grinding out Bruteite Dust. It's also being pretty uncool to go to the collection screen and spend Bruteite Dust to get shaders or gold shells or whatever. We're going to fix that too. Beginning September 17th, Eververse items in your collections will cast Galima and Legendary Shards. If you want to keep pulling out that exotic sparrow that looks like a motorcycle until you get the good sparrow perk, Instant Summon, you can do that with Legendary Shards and Galima so that's pretty cool people. Change is to dismantling Eververse items. Lastly, because we are changing the cost of pulling things out of your collections, Eververse items will no longer dismantle into Bruteite Dust. These four Eververse items will dismantle into Legendary Shards and Galima. However, that means right now the absolute best thing you can do with all the Eververse items you don't use regularly, armor, sparrow, shaders, gold shells, transmit effects is dismantle them. Sitting on a pile of midnight talons or a natural shift from your one stockpiles, chard them for dust. That's right, everything must go. Dismantle the extra stuff you have in your inventory, build up a huge amount of Bruteite Dust and spend it on sweet stuff as it rolls through the Eververse store. Because on September 17th, everything changes. So actually some great great changes people, but the best thing about this whole new post is and the latest news is the way armor is evolving look wise. Now this is a kind of system many of us have wanted in the game from day one. Keeping the perks and pluses armor offers but allow us to make it look the way we want it to look. And this is basically the first step of that evolving armor system. Any Eververse gear you've had in the past, you will now be able to basically wear that armor set but keep those raid perks if you're applying it to raid armor. Keep them perks you have for PVP setups if you'll be using them for PVP, strikes, comp, gambit, whatever. So this is definitely a great addition for sure people. I mean I currently have I think on my Hunter anyway, more or less every armor set that's been available from the events and from Eververse. So I cannot wait for Shadowkeep, I cannot wait for this update and this in my opinion is definitely the first step of a system which allows us to basically look the way we want and use the armor perks we want to. That's a great great thing it really is. But guys that's basically it. I thought I've been guys the latest news and updates around in the game who enjoyed the video leaving like really does help out. Tell me what you think about this down below within that comment section. But yeah guys things to do before September 17th, dismantle all of your unused Eververse items to maximise your bright dust reserves because on September 17th, if you haven't dismantled any of these Eververse items, when you do come to dismantle them I'm pretty sure they'll turn into glimmer and shards so you all miss out on the right dust. But guys on that note we have come to the end of the video guys. I hope you enjoyed it. I really do. Thanks as always for stopping by and hopefully I will see you on that next one.


There are ways to prepare your clusters in a way where that's based on the environment that they're in.


Here's another teaching idea for the present continuous tense. Here now we'll ask our students to compare two different photos with a number of activities going on in each one. The students will be paired up in student A and student B. The teacher will give the pairs a time limit in which to make statements about each one's picture, hopefully in the process identifying differences. What we'll have the students do is make statements such as, the man is looking at the statue. Student B will then find a man near the statue and say, oh, in my picture the man is taking a picture of the statue. They'll pan the room, find the various differences, and make a note of them. At the end of the time limit, the teacher will gather the students up and ask them to report their findings and their differences. In this activity, remember it's absolutely crucial that the students don't show each other their pictures, but rather describe them verbally.


Hey everybody, it's Harry Swaminathan. It's Tuesday 14 September. We are looking at our swing trades here. The ES is up about three points, NQ is up two. Now yesterday was a volatile day. If you recall the futures had indicated a nice open of about 30 points on the S&P but as soon as the market started opening and it just started going down, ultimately though it did eke out a small gain but it's a volatile time. So you can see this downturn coming over here and today we are seeing a little bit of pressure also on this and Q just turned negative here. So just a little bit of caution and so you know obviously at a time like that what what you want to do is let's see if we can get some pointers from the VIX options. So I would go into the next week's options and look at the VIXs at 19 and you can see the VIX the 19 calls are going for you know between 150 and 2 whereas the 19 puts are 85 to 1. So still there's a bias towards the calls and if you go $1 out of the money if you look at the 20 calls then you know that's going for about 1.6 whereas if you look at the 18 puts that's you know it's almost going for nothing there. So obviously I think there is some bias to the VIX calls so which means there could be some more downward pressure on the market. So I think now we see all these trades if it's going to go below our long call then I think you know whatever hedge we did has done its job so I'm going to be taking off some trades today. We've done very well this month as you can see even from the forget section we've got Apple here, we've got Airbnb, Airbnb of course we had a little bit more but you know you have to give them a little bit of chance and you know one of these trades will strike gold. In any case Netflix we did you know we have struck gold you know this is a clear $10,400 profit now Spotify is also a clear $3,500 profit. So today what I'm going to do is I'm going to take off $1,100 because you know Amazon is at $3,460 so which is it's come down below our $3,480 call so now it'll start losing money if it's if the markets don't recover and if the stocks don't recover. So I'm closing Amazon, Costco is fine, Lyft is fine, PayPal I'm going to be doing an adjustment, Starbucks we just opened and Tesla is also okay. Tesla is also below the long call however you can see the overall position is just down about $460. Now here in the forget section we'll be taking off almost all these trades, Apple for about $1,200 let's say, Airbnb $2,000, Facebook I'm going to keep it as is because that's very close to our long call. Netflix it's been coming down and so it had a nice run it's been coming down it's time to take this $10,400 profit. Spotify $3,500 so totally we are looking at $14,000 plus $2,000, $16,000 plus another $1,217,200 say let's say almost $20,000 we're going to take off today on my size so those are the five trades I'm taking off I'm only adjusting PayPal. PayPal is also going down and we need to fix this trade so that it at least has a chance of coming back to break even so what I want to do is sell the 24th September which is about 10 days away I'm selling the 287.5 and getting about $2.20 premium there so that is the you know that's the adjustment on PayPal. Now in terms of any new trade since we're taking off five I don't mind going into a new trade let's take a look at booking charts because some of these have just come into the into the bullish booking showing a little weakness here let's see win also is it also got a couple of red dots Starbucks of course we do have a trade already Expedia all right now this is a good looking chart you can see the five things are just about aligned over here and today it might go down no it actually is going to open right around here let's see what the options looks like and let's take a small trade on Expedia especially given that we are sort of taking off five trades we can go in for another trade here okay so I want to go to the 22nd October at least and Expedia is going to open around 147 to 148 I'll go for the 155 calls slightly less expensive and we can get a better bang for the buck if it moves up so that's the new trade for today 22nd October expiry Expedia 155 long calls thanks
