This is going to be a demonstration of the flat muscles of the abdomen. So this is the supine cadaver. These are the left side. Most of the abdominal muscles have been removed and the contents have been removed. So we are going to demonstrate whatever is visible of the flat muscles on the lateral aspect of the left side. This muscle which I picked up here, this is the external oblique muscle of the abdomen. The external oblique muscle as we can see the national fibers are as if the hands and the pocket downwards and anteriorly. As the fibers come down they become aponeurotic. So this is the aponeurosis of the external oblique muscle of the abdomen. These fibers they take origin from the fifth to the twelfth ribs and as they come anteriorly they get inserted onto the outer lip of the iliac crest which is being traced by my finger here and then after that from the anterior supia iliac spine to the pubic tubercle. The aponeurosis gets attached and it forms a free margin and this free margin of the aponeurosis constitutes what is known as the inguinal ligament and if you look closely there's a space under the inguinal ligament which is called the sub-inguinal space my finger has gone in from where contents from the abdomen come out into the thigh. So this is the external oblique muscle. This muscle was covered by a thin layer of fascia which we have removed and the remnant of the fascia can be visible here. Now I'm going to reflect this and then we see the next muscle. This is the internal oblique muscle of the abdomen. This takes origin on the middle lip of the iliac crest and it also takes origin as we can see here from the lateral half of the inguinal ligament itself and the fibers then get inserted onto the linear alba which I'm going to describe a little later and they also get inserted onto the tenth and the eleventh and twelfth ribs. If you take a look at the dash of the fibers of the internal oblique we notice that the dash of fibers are at right angles to that of the external oblique. This is as if the hands are crossed over to the opposite chest. Then we have the third layer of muscle. This is the transversus abdominisis muscle and we can see that the dash of fibers are almost transverse that's why they are called transversus abdominisis. This takes origin from the seventh to the twelfth ribs and from the inner lip of the iliac crest also takes origin from the lateral one-fourth of the inguinal ligament. The medial fibers then they become aponeurotic and then they merge with the fibers aponeurosis of the internal oblique and transversus abdominisis and they form the rectus sheath and the linear alba. The rectus sheath is a tough sheath here which covers the rectus muscle. This is the anterior layer of rectus sheath on the left side which I'm holding up here and we can see that it is formed by the fused aponeurosis of the external oblique and partly by the anterior layer of the aponeurosis of the internal oblique and my finger has gone between the two fused layers. I'm holding up the left part of the anterior rectus sheath. We can see the same thing on this side also. This is the rectus sheath on the right side of the abdomen which is also formed the same way. The posterior layer of rectus sheath gets covering from posterior half of the internal oblique aponeurosis and the transversus abdominis aponeurosis. So that is how the medial portion of these three muscles aponeurotic portions form. Having mentioned the rectus sheath now let us show which muscle they are covering. This is the rectus abdominis muscle most of which we have cut only the lower portion is remaining. So this is the left rectus abdominis muscle this is the right rectus abdominis muscle. The rectus abdominis muscle takes attachment from the pubic symphysis pubic crest pubic tubercle on each side and as it climbs up it becomes wider and it gets attached to fifth sixth and seventh costal cartilages. So this is the full extent of the rectus abdominis muscle. When we lift up the rectus we notice a vascular structure which is running on the inner surface of the rectus. This is the inferior epigastric artery and the inferior epigastric vein. So let's trace the vascular structure on the left side. We can see it is coming out from the left external iliac artery and external iliac vein. So therefore this is the left inferior epigastric artery and the vein. Similarly on the right side we can see they are coming from the right external iliac artery and external iliac vein. This inferior epigastric vessels they enter into the rectus sheath through the arcuate line and then they run on the posterior surface of the rectus abdominis muscle up within the posterior of rectus sheath which of course is not visible here and they anastomose with a branch from this artery here which I'll show you on the inner surface of the chest wall. We can see the internal thoracic artery running on both the sides. This internal thoracic artery at the level of the seventh rib divides into a muscular pharynx and a superior epigastric on each side. This superior epigastric pierces through the anterior lateral gap of the diaphragm and this anastomosis with the inferior epigastric artery. The communication between the vein, the inferior epigastric vein and the superior epigastric vein constitutes an important communication between the superior vena kiva and the inferior vena kiva. And thereafter in the midline there is a structure called the linear alba which I'm going to show you by bringing the chest wall in front of us. So I brought the chest wall here and we can see the linear alba is attached to it. This is the place where the fibres from one side criss-cross with the fibres of the opposite side and if you were to take a very close look we can see the criss-crossing fibres. In the linear alba the deep fibres of the external oblique from one side criss-cross with the superficial fibres of the external oblique of the opposite side and vice versa and at the same time the fibres of the external oblique criss-cross with the fibres of the internal oblique of the opposite side and vice versa. And that is why these criss-crossing fibres constitute this tough aponeurotic sheet in the midline which is referred to as the linear alba which constitutes one strong component of the anti-abdominal wall. The next structure which I would like to draw your attention to in the anti-abdominal wall is this which I have lifted up here. This outer portion that we see here, this is the fascia transversalis and we can see it is slightly rough. This was the one which is lining the inner surface of the flat muscles of the abdomen and the inner portion that we see here is shiny and smooth. This is the parietal peritoneum and in between the two layers will be a little bit of variable amount of fat which is referred to as extra peritoneal fat though it is not present in this particular cadaver and that is located in a space called the space of bog rows. What are the nerve supply of these muscles? These muscles are supplied by the thoracoabdominal nerves. I have picked up this nerve here. This is the 12th subcostal nerve because it is arising from under the 12th rib. And above that we have the thoracoabdominal nerves which is from 7th to the 11th. They all come from the thoracic region and then they come and they supply the abdominal flat muscles. Additionally, the internal oblique muscle and the transverse abdominis muscle also take its nerve supply from this nerve here. This is L1. This divides into iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal and these iliohypogastric and ilioinguinal apart from supplying the skin of the lower abdomen and the thigh and other regions they also supply the internal oblique and the transverse abdominis. That brings me to the function of these fat muscles apart from forming the rectus sheath and the linear alba. They help to contain the intraabdominal organs that is the most basic function. They also help to increase the intraabdominal pressure when it is required like for example during coughing, sneezing or defecation. They are also responsible for lateral torsion of the trunk of the opposite side. So muscles of this side will cause torsion of that side and vice versa. So these are some functions of the flat muscles of the abdomen. One quick word about the inferior free margin of the external oblique aponeurosis which I had mentioned was the inguinal ligament. It extends from the anterior superioria spine to the pubic tubercle. Upturned portion of the inguinal ligament is where my finger has gone in. This forms the floor of the inguinal canal. External oblique muscle aponeurosis forms the anterior wall of the inguinal canal. Internal oblique and the transverse abdominis fibres which converge here to form what is known as the conjoined tendon. They form part of the roof and part of the posterior wall of the inguinal canal. So that is also another function of these flat muscles of the abdomen. However, inguinal canal is more prominent in males because that is the site where the intestines descends down but this is a female cadaver. So therefore the inguinal canal is not very prominent. These were some of the points which I want to mention to you about these flat muscles of the abdomen. Thank you very much for watching. Dr. Sanjay Sanyal signing out. David Oval is the camera person.

I personally want to interface with such details so they will be sharing, putting forth a number that you can use to reach me personally via WhatsApp. You will reach out. Every night we're going to spend about 15 minutes to answer questions. Any question bothering you on the subject matters we have treated, for which you do not have clarity, please feel free to either send it via the same number or through a link that will be made available tomorrow, or you can write the question, those of you here in person, but those of you, all right, but those of you who are currently online, you are going to assess that on the social media space or the virtual space. Let me say it differently. Every night we have questions and answer session will receive your questions, will spend time to answer them, myself and dog. Questions pertaining to a session, she will be answering them as well. Those pertaining to my session, I will be answering them every night. Saturday we are going to have a whole afternoon session dedicated for questions and answers. There is no question that is not going to find answers directly from God's Word if you care to know. So I encourage you regardless how sensitive the questions are, they'll be handled with the highest level of confidentiality and you are secured and safe in the space. Hope for families. Our theme, build, establish and or unflourish. Our subject for module three is unfamiliar, family follies, unfamiliar, family follies. The sub getting is let's rethink. Let's rethink. Unfamiliar. Unfamiliar family follies. Let's rethink. As I always do, it was Jesus himself who said, if you continue in my words, then you are my disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. If the sun sets you free, you will be free indeed. You can say a hearty amen out there. That sounds a cold snowy amen. You can say a hearty amen out there. I will take this because this is just day number two. I met you for promises. Promise number one is the Bible is going to be the bedrock of our study. The reason is the Bible means what it says and says just what it means.  Promise number three, you are going to be challenging to make the most important decision of your life. And promise number four, your life and my will never be the same. Our subject again, I will be saying it every time. It's not as if I have nothing to say. It is my way of re-establishing the authority of the theme for the day. Unfamiliar folies or unfamiliar family folies subheading. Let's think. Yesterday we dealt with two subjects. Familiar families word failures subheading. It's about us. Then in the afternoon module two, we dealt with familiar families fatalities and the subheading was what? Let's be real. The subheadings are very troublesome. It's about us. Let's be real. And today is let's rethink. Forgive me. But I want to again state from tomorrow I'll be summarizing it for the purposes of those joining us for the first time. There are eight key objectives. This series will help us build it to help build Bible based families on the principles of wisdom. Not Hollywood based families. Number two, if you come every day, the series will assist establish your family on the premises or the principle of impeccable understanding. What is the third benefit when you come? You will find the tools necessary for you to have what I called unrelenting and uncommon increase in flourishing. Your family will bloom in an unusual way. Promise number four, this series is going to lead families move from mere involvement to faithfully commit with and to the Lord. Many families are aliens. In fact, in many homes, the Holy Spirit is an intruder.  How can that be? If you come or when you come every night, this faith promise is yours. Your family will find support to become the center of obedience, choosing the Lord's way, the Lord's path regardless of the prevailing, attractive, exciting, enticing and tempting options. Sixth goal when you come every night. This series will provide you the tools for your families to bond and buy. Many families don't know how to bond. They don't know how to buy. Everyone is on their own and everybody's asking why. You will bond and you buy and you do so by asking difficult questions that will aid your family to have a spiritual audit.  You will make intelligent decisions, informed decisions that will aid or that will support the entire family scheme from a place of wisdom. Lastly, your families will find reignitement, re-excitement, again, to be the center of beauty. What God has destined families to accomplish in the world? Your family can be a module. Regardless of your age, it's possible that your family can be a module to many young people or to people across the world. On this note, once again, you are invited to today's session, Christian and Familiar Family Follies. Let's rethink. Allow me to say, when we say foley, foley is a noun. It is a noun that basically means a lack of sound or a lack of good judgment. That is foley. So when you see me, I say, the caption is unfamiliar family follies. I'm talking about a concept which is saying you lack good sense of judgment. Another meaning for foley is foolishness. That is basically an outcome of a lack of foresight, vision. Foley also means thoughtless actions resulting in tragic ramifications, consequences or outcome. To put it bluntly, our theme for this evening is saying, don't be foolish.  Yet we don't know in the family circles. So foley means absurdity. It means craziness. It means foolishness. It means idiocy. It means lunacy.  It means madness. It means recklessness. Foley means you are silly.  So when the theme, the caption says unfamiliar family follies, it means uncommon, family foolishness. Uncommon, family stupidity. Uncommon, family madness. Uncommon, family craziness. We need to find a way to hide it. So nice big English, unfamiliar family follies. What of rethink? Rethink basically is saying consider. So I'm saying let's stop the stupidities that are not known.  So the topic is saying uncommon, family stupidity. Let's rethink about them. So to rethink means let's reassess something especially a cause of action. Again, especially in order to change it. Rethink means a reassessment, especially one that results in changes being made. Rethink basically also means amend, re-value or evaluate, reassess, re-examine, revise, rework, correct, reveal.  Yes, still many people are unfamiliar in that area. How do we handle it and how can this bring hope to the family? Allow me to say this evening, now we are going through the theme, build, establish and flourish. I'm making a preposition today. If you don't do this, you can't build a family. Those who have married already, who do not build their families on this philosophy, you are on a shaky foundation. The three most important variables that will make a family succeed. It's not love, it's not honesty, it's not faithfulness, it's not intimacy, it's not all these crazy things, three things that can make a family survive. I will take them today, tomorrow, Wednesday, Thursday. This is the basis for this entire session. The Bible says, through wisdom, a house is built, not by love and by understanding it is established.  Read it again. Through wisdom, a house is built and by understanding it is established.  This is the philosophical assumption on which the entire week is hinged on. This is the way the families are built. Simple Bible passage, very deep. Yesterday, I made a statement, may I state it again, as goes the family, so the society. It is in the home that life makes up its mind. The craziness in Nairobi, in Kenya, in Ghana, in Africa, across the world is because we have craziness in the home, stupidity in the homes. And guess what? Nobody wants to talk about it. I'm sorry. I am sent to talk about it. It's first about me. And if you are just like me, then this is also about you. In the west of Changswindol, whatever else may be said about the home, it is the bottom line of life, the unveil upon which attitudes and convictions are hammered out. It is the place where life's bills come due. The single most influential force in our earthly existence is no other place than the home. The home or the family today is under the severest attack. So the basic question we want to ask is, how do you build a home? This is another topic, simple to say. How do you build your family? How do you build your marriage? How do you build a relationship? Many people are spiritual. They love the Lord, but their families are ruined. They have the Holy Spirit. They are guided by God, but their marriages are broken. I am here to announce today, regardless of your spirituality, your marriage can fail. Regardless how much you pray, you can be a prayer warrior. You can pray. You can pray. Fire can come down. Your marriage will break. If you don't know these things, we are about to share this week. Marriage is not just based on love. No, no, just not that. The three things I really gave, and I picked the first one for today, through wisdom, a house is built. So what do I mean? When the Bible says through wisdom, a house is built, what does it mean by a house? Allow me to do some basic analysis. A house could refer to constructing literal houses, or more likely to the understanding or undertaking of building a home or a family. But for the purposes of this presentation, a house here means a family, a home. This message is also applicable to anybody who wants to build a business, anybody who wants to build a team, anybody who wants to be an entity, an organization, anyone who is interested in building something. This message is applicable, but for the context, we are talking about family. In the Hebrew, a house is translated a home, or household, or family, or descendant. When you read the Bible, house in the Hebrew could mean either of these, or any of those, a home, a household, family, or descendants. Let me say it differently. Let me put it in context. Take a Bible. Take note of the following. Go to the book of Isaiah. Isaiah chapter 7 verse 13. The Bible says, then Isaiah said, here now you house of David. Is it not enough to try the patience of humans? Why will you try the patience of my God also? Give it a second thought. Then Isaiah said, here now you house of God, David. You families of David. You descendants of David. So I've given you the context. Whenever the Bible says a house is talking about a home, descendants, families. Second Samuel chapter 9 verse 1. David asked, is there any still, anyone still left of the house of Saul to whom I can show kindness for do not say, is there anyone still left of the home of the family of the descendants? So when the Bible says through wisdom a house is built, I'm making the argument that could mean descendants, family, or home. Proverbs 24 through wisdom a house is built. What do we mean by build? When we say build, I'm referring to to make, to set up, to erect, to construct, or it can mean to rebuild or repair. When the Bible says through wisdom a house is built, it means through wisdom a house is made. Through wisdom a house is set up. Through wisdom a home is erected. Through wisdom a home is constructed. Through wisdom a home can be rebuilt or repaired. In other words, any home that is already in existence can use the same philosophy and repair it or rebuild it. Unfamiliar family follies, less rethink. What do you need to build a home? According to the text, you need what? No, I didn't hear that. What do you need? Wisdom. Wisdom. What do we mean by wisdom? Follow me very carefully. Follow me very carefully. What do we mean by wisdom? Wisdom is the quality of having experience, take note of that, experience, knowledge, and good judgment, the quality of being wise. Wisdom is the capacity to have good judgment. In fact, when you go to the Old Testament, if I were to have time, wisdom is mentioned countless times. In summary, in the Old Testament, wisdom means technical skills. Wisdom means experience. Get to the next slide. Wisdom means learning. Wisdom means ability. Wisdom means cleverness. Wisdom means prudence. Wisdom means good results. Let's go back. Through wisdom a house is built. Let's replace it. Through technical skill, no? Follow me. Through technical skills. What is the guy on the staff? Through experience, through ability, through learning, through cleverness, through prudence, you can build a home. Many people are having blood run through their veins in the name of desire to have a family. Any rabbit with a bow tie, a frog with a brown suit can have a family. The Bible says what you need to build a family is you need the technical skills. I pity the young man who married my daughter. You must listen. Don't give your daughters out to any rich man, any man who has just money. No. Don't marry any slave queen with a beautiful shape, a nice body. Any lizard with a red tail can be a wife. To qualify to be a wife, you need the technical skills. Many people are entering marriage without the technical skills, without the needed ability, without the needed cleverness, without the needed prudence and good judgment. Let me give you an example. Go to Exodus chapter 28. You go to verse three. We are talking about wisdom. The Bible says, tell all the skilled workers, take note. I'm saying wisdom is technical skills. Tell all the skilled workers to whom I have given word. Wisdom in such matters that they are to make garment for Aaron for his consecration so he may serve me as priests. When I was coming here, my designer fixed me up. Everybody cannot make an attire for me. Based on Exodus 28 verse three, God says, for you to even so for the priests, you need the technical skills. And that God says, I have given these artisans the wisdom, the technical skills, the prudence, the some judgment that they can make garment for Aaron so that Aaron can serve me. I'm underscoring the point. Wisdom is technical skills. Exodus 31 verse three, write it down.  The Bible says, and I have filled him with the spirit of God with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge, and with all kinds of skills. Wisdom is the basis for technical skills. To build a family, you need to have the skills. You see, to deal with a woman in her early 20s or late 20s or mid 30s, you need a technical skills. When a man in his mid 40s, getting to 50s, the crisis men face. A woman doesn't need only a breast shape, but size. Weave on hair, dead people's hair. That is not with a lot of concrete on the face. Empty head. So only emotion. Why is it treating me like this?  You lack the technical skills. You have all the time for the hair, for the body to put concrete on your pimples, but you do not have the ability to acquire the skills to manage a man who is a choleric. You need technical skills. We can pray and cast the demon father in the name of Jesus. May this man registrates. It will fail. What they need is war, technical skills. Our subject for this evening, unfamiliar family, stupidity, foolish. Let's rethink. What is the secret to building a family? It's another way to look at today's presentation. Building family, secrets to building families. Basically what we are attempting to address. First Kings chapter four, verse 29 to verse 30. I'm making a case for wisdom. First Kings chapter four, verse 29 to verse 30. Listen, if you have a boyfriend, you have a girlfriend, those of you are not married.  They didn't teach us this. So we ended with foolishness. We ended like zombies, blindfolded. A group of young men, foolishness in our head. And all we were looking for our KPIs in a wife misguided, misconstrued.  You need a technical skills. God gave Solomon wisdom. What word will he use to replace wisdom or expressing technical skills and very great insights and a breath of understanding as measureless as the son of the seixio. Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the east and greater than all the wisdom of Egypt. Who gave Solomon the technical skills? It was God. Ability. Wisdom is capacity to handle situations and conditions and make a good decision. That is wisdom. It's a skill that is developed. It's a skill that is learned. It's a skill that is prayed for. I'm going to take you through. We're going to see it's second chronicles, chapter one, verse 10 to verse 12. I'm going to run a little more. Give me wisdom and knowledge that I may lead these people for who is able to govern these great people of yours. God said to Solomon, since this is your heart desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies. And since you have not asked for a long life, but for wisdom and for knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you.  God was saying, Solomon, what do you need? I need the technical skills.  Money will not keep the home. It's a good variable. Poverty can damage your home. I'm going to talk about it this week. Poverty can make you very useless. But the first thing you need when building the home is to find out this young man, this young woman, is he having the technical skills? Is she having the technical skills, the ability, the capability? Listen to me. Some of you have been married. The problem, the reason why there is a lot of problem in the home. Yesterday we said it is a sin problem. And one of the sin problem is your husband lacks the capacity.  He is just not having the wisdom. If you are not wise, you are what? That's why I said the title is Unfamiliar Family Follies. The reason why the two of you are always quarreling is somebody doesn't have the wisdom, the technical skills to deal with an angry man whose ego is bruised. So you don't know how to deal with it as a woman. And all you are doing is you are carrying your body, moving around with your whole degree. You can't even manage a simple house. And the young men and women, we are telling them, go to school, get a good job.  They lack the technical skills. So these days, young people marry and after one year, two years, they are tired. All they are asking for, they want what? A divorce. So they divorce this one. You lack the technical skills for this one married.  You lack the technical skills. Lord, is marriage not for me? No, the problem is not it. You lack the technical skills. No amount of prayer can let me fly an airplane. No matter how I pray, I need to acquire the skill to be able to fly a plane through or falls. Now I know how to talk to Kenyans. We are getting there. My daughter cannot dry. I will pray she can dry. The reason is what? She doesn't have war, the technical skills to dry. This is the problem. Why many homes are not built? Ecclesiastus chapter 2 verse 13 and verse 14, I saw that wisdom is better than fully. Just as light is better than darkness, the wise have eyes in their hairs while the fools walk in their darkness. So in the marriage, the wise person may be there and the Bible says, don't be unequally yoked. It's not only about wearing earring. It's not just about Sabbath. It's not no, this apart, but it also means don't marry a fully seven day Adventist if you are wise. You'll be unequally yoked.  Don't marry her.  Why? I saw that wisdom is better than f***ing. It's better to marry an ugly wise man than to marry a fully. Wisdom is better than fully. Just as light is better than darkness. The wise, they have the technical eyes, they have the technical skills, they have the insight, they have the vision to be able to see and make a sound judgment. What the wise can see seated, the fools cannot see even in space. Wisdom is a skill. Our subject tonight, unfamiliar, family, police, our subject in this world, let's rethink. According to the Old Testament in summary, wisdom is technical skills. For the sake of time, I'm jumping, go to the book of Isaiah chapter 28. I'm coming to make a next strong case. All this also comes from the Lord Almighty, whose plan is wonderful, whose wisdom is magnificent. And that magnificent they are talking about is what we call sound judgment that is insight, insight, insight, sound judgment. As Isaiah says, the Hebrew word used there is whose insight is magnificent. Wisdom is not just a technical skill, it's insight. It's the capacity to have a certain insight, a certain comprehension, death on a subject matter. And when you take that route, you will not fail. Wisdom. Malachi chapter six, verse nine. Listen, the Lord is calling to the city. And to fear your name is wisdom. Heed the rod and the one who appointed it. Wisdom. In fact, there are various shades of wisdom. Daniel chapter two, I'm jumping it. Daniel chapter two, those follow me, follow me carefully. Daniel chapter two, verse 14. When Ariok, the commander of the king's guard, had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon, Daniel spoke to him with word wisdom and with word facts. He spoke to him with a certain skill, a certain ability, a certain capacity, wisdom. The next question is, what are the benefits of wisdom? I'm going to share with you five or six benefits. Homes must be built with wisdom. What advantage do you have? What benefits will you be privileged with if you have wisdom? I'm now going to the realms of Proverbs chapter three, and I'm going to spend some few minutes there before I land eventually. The Bible says, number one, for the sake of time, wisdom offers a long life of peace. And I'm going to explain. Look at the text, the Proverbs three, verse two, for length of days and years of life and peace, they will add to you wisdom. You see, the ability to make a sound judgment, to say, I am on a trip, my wife is not here. So, I have a sexual knee, and I have women or men I can sleep with. But their technical skills to come to a sound judgment, which says, when I sleep with this woman, I am singing, but I may contract a disease and I will give to my wife and I will alienate my whole family the capacity to take such sound decision, to have such insight is what we call wisdom. What will it give you? Length of days. What will it give you? Years of life. What will it give you? Peace.  The reason, they lack the capacity to make sound judgments. Wisdom offers a long lie and peace. Peace. You look at a situation and ask, what is the benefit of having this side chick? What is it that I'm going to gain aside the pleasures of the moment and wisdom will say, you deserve long years of peace. So, you know what?  Wisdom leads to favor before God and before man. Many married men and women do not have favor. You work hard. You work hard. You work hard. And it amounts to nothing. The Bible says, if you have wisdom and so find favor and high esteem in the sight of God and man. Wisdom, may God excited about you. It makes God, God is tickled. I like his reasoning. I like his sound judgment. I like her way of thinking and approaching issues. The Bible says, if you have wisdom, you have favor before God.  This is the same ability you need to build a company. Listen, you don't get it. You can start the company that is thriving today, but it will fail in the future because you will be having no wisdom in your quiver that can guide the decision. God says, anybody with wisdom, the wisdom that builds a home, the technical skills that builds families and relationship is no wonder. Some organizations ask some people before they give them some positions if you are married. Marriage. If you build a house well, you have some technical skills. You have some stability. You have some capacity to make some calls and some decisions. Wisdom, it speaks or supplies health. It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones. Proverbs chapter 3 verse 8. Wisdom supplies health. It is wisdom that is going to tell a woman who is with a cheating husband how to go about her life and not to get high blood pressure. It's wisdom.   If you have wisdom, you are in even a toxic relationship. Wisdom is going to tell you, is giving you the technical skills how to handle it so that you can have healing to your flesh, refreshment to your bones. Wisdom is the secret to discipline. I don't have time. Wisdom, bear good choices. Then you will walk on your way securely and your foot will not be stumbled. You will be so confident. You are sure how you are going. If you have wisdom, it bears good choices. Wisdom gives you honor. It will never disgrace you. It will never embarrass you. The wise who inherit what honor but fools they get what disgrace. Yesterday we said sin brings war. Some four or five days. The first one I said is sin bears war. It deceives. Sin does what? It disappoints. Sin does what? Dominates. It disgraces. And finally it will do all. It will destroy. The Bible says if you are a wise person, your end will be honor.  Wisdom. Slide 104. It is wisdom that leads the human being to get to a place to say no or no more. Sin takes you where you don't want to go. It keeps you longer than you want to stay. It costs you more than you want to pay. Listen, I am tempted. Go to 107. I want to get some fact on wisdom. Okay. Okay. What else do we want to say about wisdom? Go to Proverbs chapter 4. Wisdom is the principle thing. Therefore, get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding, the wise woman builds her house. But with her own hands, the foolish woman tears her down. Pause. Question. How can a wise woman build her house? What will the foolish woman do? The choices. Listen. When the man is angry. Very angry. When the demons of Ghana have now landed on Tiki Mensang and all the flies in the house, they are flying. And then they are getting fried. Just by fried. There is no way. Then a wise woman like Samuala, she will not talk. When you finish making all the noise, money devotion, she will elect to lead. Then she will say, pastor, pray for us. That's mischief. So she'll start to guilt strip you. Mischief. So she'll say, pastor, can you pray for us? She'll call you God's will of honey or whatever. But then she starts to say, pastor, man of God, please pray for us. So that the guilt will sink down. And down. And down. But the foolish woman assaults police station. Front page. Man of God assaulted the wife. Bum, bum. SDA pastor finally a teacher of marriage now in family life abuse before the tribune. Now the wise woman builds a house. I'm going to teach something on suitability. Wisdom would tell you what is applicable with my friend's marriage is not applicable to my marriage. Wisdom. The way he treats the wife based on his temperament. If you look at my husband's temperament, he cannot treat me that way. It's wisdom. It's wisdom to tell you. Listen, a man's philosophy of life is let's eat well. And another one's philosophy of life is let's build wealth and the one eating well and the one wanting to build wealth. Now the wife is saying, see the car he has bought for the wife. I am with you for 25 years. Look at us. It takes wisdom. Now by wisdom the Lord laid the foundations of the earth. By understanding he sets the heavens in place. Can I get the slide? By wisdom the Lord laid the earth's foundation by understanding he set the heavens in place. Question. How did God build the earth based on war? I'm not hearing it. Based on war. How did he advise we should build our homes? It should be based on war. What is the intercession of what God used to build the world and what we need to build our homes? The intercession is for wisdom. Question. When you were getting married, those married, what did you build it on? Photos. Rest size. Smile. Her social standing. Six packs.  The first thing God used to determine how the world must operate. He says by wisdom the Lord laid the earth's foundation. What God did. Listen, day number one, an example. Let me do an example. My time is coming as I wrap it up. You see what God follow me. Guys, follow me. If not, my ticket will come. Follow me. Follow me. When God was creating the earth, day one, he created the light and darkness. Follow me carefully. Based on what God had in mind for the last day, day one's creation was needed for day two creation to survive. So watch. Day two, God created the atmosphere and the firmament. Now watch. Day three, God created now dry lands or plant life, both large and small. You see, plants will need the atmospheric air and the firmament. They will need the light for photosynthesis for the third day's creation, which is all plants, both large and small on the dry land. So day one is supported. Is supporting, as you say, day two's creation. Day one and two's creation is supporting day three's creation. Follow carefully. Now, if you watch day four, God created all the stars, all the heavenly bodies. All these are needed for day five to survive, for the birds, for all life that lives in the waters. They need from day one, day two, day three, day four for them to survive.  So for man to survive, for us to have oxygen in the atmosphere, God created, started creating just light and darkness. Just watch. From day one, I go back again. Day one, light and darkness. Day two, he created the skies, the atmosphere and the firmament. Day number three, he created all the plant life, both large and small. Day number four, he created all the stars, the galaxies, so that there will be light. Then the Bible says he created two great lives, one to rule the day and one to rule the night. Then day five, he created all other animals, birds in the waters and animals in the waters and the birds. Day number six, God created human beings. The inside is you need a certain technical skills to know what a human being would need to survive for you to begin day one, day two, day three, day four, day five. Listen, even day six, who did he create for us out of the human beings? He created a man. A woman would need a man to survive in God's wisdom. So a man was a raw product. A woman became a byproduct. So the Bible says he took man out of a woman. Listen, you need a certain threshold of wisdom to put things in order this way. In other words, for you to build a home, you see, from the day the marriage is consummated, you need a lot of intelligent technical skills, ability, capabilities to make decisions, decisions like day one, day two, day three, day four, day five. I'm sorry to say some people are in day two and they are married. No, God didn't bring marriage in day two. He brought it in day six. So you need a certain technical skills. Then God said, all that I created, it was very good. Ladies and gentlemen, he had the technical skills. So I want to get married. I've started making mistakes in day one. Day two, I'm not putting in the right thing. Day three, I'm not putting in the right thing. Day four, I'm not putting in the right thing. Day five, I'm not putting in the right thing. Ladies and gentlemen, the Bible says what God used to create the earth is the same thing God is asking. If you want to build a home, you need a technical skills. You don't need just prayer.   How then do you get wisdom as I, as I rule it? I'm jumping now. I'm jumping now. Where can wisdom be found? Where can wisdom be found? The Bible says in the book of Job, I'm wrapping this up. Job, it says, but where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? Man does not know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living? The deep say, it is not in me. And the sea says, it is not with me. It cannot be purchased for gold, nor can silver be weighed for its price. Neither gold nor crystal can equal it, nor can it be exchanged for jewelry or fine gold. No mansion shall be made of coral or quartz for the price of wisdom if about rabbis. The top acts of Ethiopia cannot equal it, nor can it be valued in pure gold. Then from where can wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding? Verse 21 says, it is hidden from the eyes of all the living and concealed from the birth of the air. We have heard a report about it only with our eyes. You ask death, death. Where is wisdom? He says, I've just heard something called wisdom. You ask destruction. Where is wisdom? It says, we heard about it before. So where can wisdom be found? Then the Bible says, Job 28 verse 23, God understands its ways and he knows its place. Ladies and gentlemen, you cannot be married and be successful better than the Christian who follows the Bible. Never. No Buddhist can enjoy marriage more than the Christian. No Jew, nobody from the Jewish tradition, Judaism has no deep framework and offer for marriage. The Bible says what you need to listen, Hollywood, Nollywood, Gallywood, all the wood, Uga wood, Ziga wood, whatever wood or wilderness or tree, there is no framework that supports marriage better than the Bible. If we have agreed, we need a certain technical skills to build up marriage. Job says, I went searching and I was asking, look at the next verse to establish a wage for the wind and apportion the waters by measure when he made a law for the rain and the path for the thunderbolt. Job says, look, how come God has commanded the water? Stay here. You have limitation. You are dry land.  It is based on wisdom. He has given limitation. People don't even know how to create limits in their marriages. They need wisdom. And where can you get the wisdom from verse 27? Then he saw wisdom and declared it. He prepared it. Indeed, he searched it out. And to man, he said, behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom. And to depart from evil is understanding the capacity to know God's will, what God says and follow it is wisdom. You don't get it. You don't get it. Let me say it differently. My goodness, when a man says, I will not commit adultery is wisdom. It's not just a normal decision. It has a ripple effect. There are many children born out of wedlock. In God's mind for children to be born, a husband and a wife, not just a man and a woman, a husband and a wife must be in place. Children need a certain level of commitment to be raised. But today, we need sperm donors who don't have a sperm to sing you girls. And they have children. And we are wondering why is a society like this? Why won't it be? Some people are giving birth. They have no business giving birth. The foolishness in Nairobi, the foolishness in Kenya, the foolishness in Ghana, the foolishness in the church, the reason why today 10 people are married, five are divorced is there is no wisdom. Look at it this way. But why can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding? The Bible says, wisdom, Ecclesiastes 7 verse 12, is a shelter. As money is a shelter. But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves those who have it. Wisdom gives you an advantage that those with power, access, influence they don't have. The same way, those who think they are rich, they have a shield. The Bible says, wisdom provides a certain security that nothing can give you in the world. Ladies and gentlemen, the quarrel in the homes, the frustration, even this chicken relationship, 18-year-old girl, 19-year-old girl, they come and say, it's too much for me. I can't take it. What is the problem? He's just, he's not picking Michael. Foolishness, the two of them, they lack wisdom. James chapter 1 verse 5, if any of you lack wisdom, who gives wisdom? MBA will not give you wisdom. PhD will not give you wisdom. MSC will not give you wisdom. The wisdom you need to build a home. When they say ask God, it's not only prayer. He's searching through God's Word. What does the Bible say? Look, listen, I want to end on this note. I want to exalt this book as the book of wisdom. Look, the Bible deals with matters of universal interest. It deals with history. It deals with philosophy. It deals with science. It deals with health. It deals with architecture. It deals with religion. It deals with prophecy. It deals with family. It deals with relationship. It speaks to the needs of every generation. It offers solutions to life, perplexity and even reveals the origin and the future of our world. The Bible has brought peace to the troubled conscience. It has brought comfort to the sorrowful. It has brought hope to the desparate and carried to the desperate and the assurance of a reunion even to those who are bereaved. Look, when I look at the Bible, the reason why it is the source of wisdom, God uses princes to write this book called the Bible. Poets wrote the Bible, philosophers wrote the Bible, fishermen wrote the Bible, statement wrote the Bible, prophets wrote the Bible. Listen, just take time. You look at it, priests wrote the Bible, publicans wrote the Bible, physicians wrote the Bible, men learned in the wisdom of Egypt, they wrote the Bible, men educated in the school of Babylon, they wrote the Bible, the Harvard scholars of our day, they wrote the Bible in those days. Men trained at the feet of great rabbis like Gamalil, they wrote the Bible. Men of every grade and class are represented in this mysterious volume. The Bible says, it says in 1 Peter, as newborn babes, design the sincere mark of the word that you may grow thereby. How do you grow as a husband? How do you grow as a boyfriend? Ladies and gentlemen, I recommend to you today the B-I-B-L-E. If you want to grow, the Bible says, I can make you wiser than even your teachers. How can a young man clean his ways or keep his wear peal by living according to your word? The Bible will shield you from danger, it will shield you from shame, it will shield you from embarrassment, it will shield you from disease, it will shield you. Look, we have neglected this and we are followed. The theorists of men, I have hidden your word in my heart that I might not see against you. Thy word is truth. Many people are seeking for truth concerning marriage. God is the initiator. He created marriage. He says you need wisdom, the technical skills. This why this week we'll be teaching practical ways. Listen, one day I'm dedicating it, what it is to be a man. Too many boys and males are parading as men.   Having breasts, forgive me. It doesn't make you a woman. The Bible says all your words are true.  Thy word is a lumber unto my feet and a light unto my path. The entrance of thy word, give it life. It giveeth understanding unto the simple. Man shall not lead by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Neither have I gone back from the commandment of the sleep. I have esteemed his word above more than my necessary food. We are talking about wisdom from God's word. I, the Lord, I speak the truth. I declare what is Christ. Through wisdom a house is built. It's not a suggestion. It's the truth. Any marriage that is struggling is a wisdom deficiency. Any family that is broken, I dare you bring every divorce case.  One was foolish. The reason why you and your wife, you and your children, you and your husband, you and your family, we cannot live in peace. There's a problem. It's a wisdom problem. Foolishness in the church. Foolishness on the streets. If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask God. So my prayer today, dear Lord, may I not build a business and leave my home. May I not build a career and leave my home. May the two of us not follow money. We are absentee parents. Children are born. Two couples or couple. All of them are chasing money and they left the children, left them to television, left them for nannies, left them. We just want to be called parents. The Bible says children are gifts from God. It takes wisdom to know what to do even with your children. Ladies and gentlemen, I want to ask today, unfamiliar family follies. The world will not talk about it. What the world talks about. You're standing in your career. Your success in the corporate world. Nobody talks about how how to build a community based on honesty, based on integrity, based on contentment, based on hard work, based on genuineness, based on trustworthiness. The reason is that there is a lack of wisdom in the land. I repeat, us are close tonight through wisdom. The house is built this evening. Want to sing a basic song? Anybody who wants to tell the Lord the book of wisdom. I want to invite you tomorrow morning, every morning, eight a.m. Kenya time. A group of people we meet to study the Bible. We believe this is a source of wisdom. We pray and tell the Lord. Guide me. Guide me to today. I don't know what it is to be a husband. I don't know what it is to be a man. I ask for direction. I ask for the technical skills.  I just want to ask, I lack wisdom. Is there somebody here who is like me? You lack wisdom. And you want to say, Dear Lord, I lack it. Let me see. I don't have it. Please, stand on your feet. We are singing that song. They can take over the screen now.  You want to say, Dear God, this world is difficult. I need guidance. I need the technical skills. As they sing this song, join them. As they sing the next dance, if you need wisdom, just come. If you don't need wisdom, just stay. If you need wisdom, come right here. I need wisdom. Come here, right here. We are kneeling down here. We want to pray. All those who need wisdom, just like me, just have. Those of you online, just type, I need wisdom. Lord, I need wisdom. Lord, I need wisdom. Kneel down right here. I need wisdom. Please just kneel down. Just kneel down. I need wisdom. Lord, I need wisdom. I don't have it. I don't have it. I don't have it. I tried a bird of Jordan. My anxious fears upside. I need wisdom. Those of you joining online, I need wisdom. The foolishness is too much. I need wisdom. Everybody, if you do not have wisdom, you know you need it. Just come. Take away your pride. Put down your pride and come. Lord, I need wisdom. I need wisdom. I need wisdom. All eyes close. I want you to spend the first one to two minutes. Tell God exactly what you need. Areas you need the wisdom. Please speak out to God. God, I need wisdom to be patient. I need wisdom to trust again. I need wisdom how to deal with my cheating husband who has repented. I need wisdom how to deal with my wife who is contangorous. I need wisdom for my children. Talk to God. What exactly do you need wisdom for? If your voice speaks out to God. I need wisdom. I need wisdom to deal with betrayal. I need wisdom to deal with emotional abuse. I need wisdom to deal with the disrespectful wife or boyfriend. Father in heaven, this night in simple terms, we are foolish. We did not create marriage. You did. You have a blueprint. You have said expressly in your word the way you build the earth. We need the same framework to succeed as families. But we started our homes based on sexual attraction. Many families started based on weird assumptions and philosophical frameworks. Our nations are battling. Our countries are suffering. Our societies are completely morally corrupt and distraught. There seems to be no peace in the land. The women are hurting. The men are tired. The children are disillusioned. And we pretend every day that all is well. Master, this week, this new week, the first message for today is the chaos in the homes is a lack of wisdom. Wisdom is the deficiency of wisdom. So today, we declare we are foolish.  Lord, we are maha. Hence, we have come. Based on your promise, if anyone desires wisdom, they should ask God. So today, we set aside our egos. We set aside our pride. We set aside our self-conceitedness. We set aside our arrogance. We set aside our self-excitement and glorifying our weak-need methods. And we jettison them and say we embrace the Bible's philosophy. Give wisdom to our wives. Give wisdom to our mothers. Give wisdom to our sisters. Every condition in every situation, we pray for these technical skills. As we study your word, may wisdom be impacted. Open our eyes, dear Lord, to see wondrous things out of your law. We pray for the husbands. We need wisdom. The foolishness in the heart of we, the men, is untold. Our wives are tired. Our wives are tired. Our women are tired. They are confused. Today, we say we need short hair. Tomorrow, we need long nails. Today, we say we need slim body. Tomorrow, we say we need big bodies. We are completely confused, and our women are completely disillusioned today in this place during this week. In this season, bless with wisdom. We pray for the young men. They are confused, dear Lord. They are foolish pro. The foolishness is at the pro status. In our wisdom, we claim human wisdom. We think it is degree. We think it is our holo certificate. The Bible says the fear of the Lord. The day we begin to make God supreme. The day we begin to make God first. The day we begin to make God the best. The day we begin to make God the last is not wisdom. It's just the beginning of wisdom. Our last dear God, we pray for a relationship with Jesus in a way that at least if for nothing, we begin the wisdom journey. Bless those who are participating. So this evening, I pray that you will touch every life. Dear Lord, I pray that you will touch every home.  We pray in the name of Jesus, especially for our young girls and our young men. Lord, any relationship that is based on foolishness, that is based on just pelvic issues, we pray. May the priorities change today. May wisdom become the principal thing. May we pursue it. May we pursue it fervently. May we pursue it diligently. May we pursue it without any reservation. Bless our guests. Bless our visitors. Bless our members. Bless every individual. Bless those watching across the internet. Bless. Dear Lord, bless. Bless. Let the relationships begin to change. Let there be a tent around. In the name of Jesus, the Bible says, ask and it shall be given. Seek and you will find. Knock the door will be opened. Today, we ask for wisdom. Today, we seek for wisdom. Today, we knock for wisdom. May it be a portion to every individual according to their need. So we say until we meet again tomorrow, the same time. May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the God of wisdom lift his face upon every one of us and be kind to us. May marriages begin to be amended, healed, and repaired according to your divine similarity for we have asked, not in any means name, but in the name of him who died rose again on the third day. That name is Jesus Christ our Lord. Let somebody say an amen and amen and amen.


Welcome to the OPSEC of protesting. Don't worry about taking notes or screenshots. Of course this talk is recorded, but References and links to everything I'm talking about can be found at tiny si slash OPSEC So who am I and what do I do? My name is O'Shaugh Marshall. I code. I teach.  I'm teaching you how precisely to take over the world now as part of the penetration testing you're doing constant risk assessments from the perspective of the customer finding an exploit is fun and dandy But if you don't explain why it's bad and how it harms operations, you won't get anywhere And so I'm inviting you into that same mindset Last year I wrote this blog on the OPSEC of protesting this was following the George Floyd Breonna Taylor Ahmed Omri Tonya McDay protests and a lot of fishy stuff was going on in terms of the surveillance date as well as people trying to dox people and So this blog was a collection of advice I was passing along to my activist friends He in that article I focused on basic security hygiene use multi-factor authentication everywhere encryption at rest and in transit all of the the password managers VPNs all of these little things that you can add to improve your security posture and different security controls and That is great. That's excellent and that fits in line with my background and what I do and Not these Steps will actually improve your privacy. However, you need to focus in on the why Because why is critical? Why determines what security controls you're willing to put into place? Why also determines which security controls are better than others and why can help determine? Security controls that it implemented will harm your OPSEC in other ways And so we're in a quiet moment now politically But that doesn't mean that the government or some other institution isn't going to do something that you don't agree with so Protesting is also not just a right here in the United States. It is a responsibility Societies that fail to update themselves become brittle stagnated tyrannical and crumble and I really love this year's Def Con theme I can't stop the signal because this is how You promote change. This is how you promote where you can change the world More specifically the society that you live in in a way that actually makes things better for you and everyone around you you know and So you do protesting is the PRs that is how we update society source code And when we finally implement and do that that gets transformed into the nitty gritty Legislation as well as judicial or reinterpretation of laws and executive policy My goal in this talk is to arm you to the teeth because I don't care about your particular politics You as a human being have every right to express your thought in your opinions without ruining yourself, you know So let's dive into OPSEC so I'm gonna this huge definition from NIST What really you need to focus in on is OPSEC is short for operational security and you Really the goal of this is control is protecting yourself by threats by controlling evidence of your Plans your thoughts and your intentions from an adversary. And so it's not about Hypothetical is not about best practice or whatever. It's actually working through what will work for your situation for the goals that you're trying to achieve and For an activist these sorts of strategies can be immediately practical So say this with me. Ah, yeah, that is I quadruple a That this is the five step process for ops protesting so These steps don't have to be taken in any particular order But any Prethought meditation and information that you can glean from previous steps will only serve you And by enhancing the analysis and thought process and subsequent steps so the first step is The first step is the identification of critical information The second step is the analysis of threats. Third is analysis of vulnerabilities fourth Is assessment of risks now that you know what your threats are and what your Vulnerabilities are and then once you have all all that knowledge together Then you apply the appropriate countermeasures So What exactly is sensitive information? I can tell you one thing that isn't necessarily sensitive information in terms of My ability to In terms of my ability to be a cyber security consultant or developer Is images of my naked body? So I shower at the local ymca So all you have to do to get read-only access to me Is wake up at five in the morning and make a drive Then also be also be identify as male So knowing that information Although it would be embarrassing and my wife would have some words to say to you Knowing that information does not impact my ability to both write code and to present and to Do risk assessments as a cyber security consultant And note that the crypt that what I said is that critical information isn't That information isn't critical for me Um, what is critical for you depends on what your goals are and what and what um It and what the adversary can do armed with that information So if you're the department for defense, for example anything about DoD activities intentions capabilities um limitations Any of those things that can be used to get military economic or political advantage or strategic advantage That an adversary can get That um that is critical that automatically falls under the umbrella of critical information So how do we bring this back down to the perspective of an activist or Or an activist organization? Usually for an activist the goal is to spread the message of the movement And so the usually the things that are critical information include time of location of demonstrations now Again, you you have to strike a balance. You want To gather in large numbers. That's the whole point but Disclosing that information a bit too early can allow Can allow the adversary to respond with an increased police presence Also, if you are consciously breaking the law Uh, if you're a conscious as a subject or if you're consciously breaking the law Your personal and financial networks are also vital For an activist organization donor lists Um people who support you if they feel the if they feel that They can be de-anonymized or they can come under fire You will find you will find that funding gets stripped and things like that Another good one is a moral or criminal activity in the leadership of the activist organization so For ask any politician Reputational harm or reputational damage Is an easy way to stop spreading the message and stop and stop spreading the movement So knowing this information And knowing this information ahead of time you and organization can plan and Their leadership and say okay This person doesn't need to necessarily be in the forefront Because of past Criminal history or whatever Now we move on to step two and this is the analysis of threats now that you have an idea and intuition of What is critical information? What is sensitive what you're trying to protect? Now you need to view your threat landscape Any meaningful change to society's source code means that there will be opposition So threats are any potential occurrence that can create that undesired outcome Hurricanes are threats But in here in op sec we really focus in on the people threats Known as adversaries. So who are your adversaries when you're protesting? Well, there are two major ones. There are state actors Um, that those are governments as well as law enforcement and also you have counter movement protesters So counter protesters if you're protesting non-violently Your goal is to persuade the mostly inactive Majority to your cause some people put the mainstream media as an adversary and that may not necessarily be the case Uh, new major news outlets actually are an asset to any activists Um, they help spread the message and amplify the word the only time where you're in the direct opposition is when uh You're the message that you're saying may conflict with their revenue streams And so the only reason why any of these media outlets may be Particularly political one way or another is just to cater to certain demographics and continue on that revenue stream So if media Only opposes you if you are a boring or if you get in the way of their money so now that you know who the adversary is and Now you need to understand what is the adversary's intent and capability From there you can derive the adversaries goals Some adversaries want complete subjugation of your group identity Some want full on genocide others. It's just maintaining the status quo Usually the goals of the adversary in the more immediate term is to block the immediate goals of a particular protest if you're an activist Maybe you're protesting to influence a local or national election Or maybe you're applying pressure to certain institutions or Maybe it's just again to amplify and continue spreading that word the list could go on But anything that gets in the way of that Is the adversaries goal anything that negates that I should say So what are the tactics that your adversary will use? Infiltrators are a good one and a historical example I would like a historical example. I'd like to bring up is Thurgood Marshall and He was a senior member of NAACP He continued to act leader in that space He leaked information to the FBI in order to weed out communists Nowadays when you have a large protest You'll see that you have a large group of people and then all of a sudden a brick flies through the window and it dishevels from there Violence is another form of disruption Just because you may be protesting peacefully doesn't mean necessarily mean that Counter-movement protesters aren't going to explicitly target you and edge you on. This is especially can be This is actually can be part of the adversaries overall strategy Because certain news outlets will spread narratives in the story in different ways. So if you can ag on someone else get them to Get them to respond in a violent way That can get spun up that can get spun in different ways as well And also general surveillance is a is another tactic in strategy So With those strategies in mind You need to ask yourself What does the adversary already know about the mission What critical information has already been exposed by the adversary? So if you Attended this talk a bit late and the time and location Of a protest has already been leaked. Well, that information is already available To the adversary. So now there can be an enhanced police presence and I say things that It can be more or less severe depending on the particular threat that you're going into For example, if you're a Hong Kong protester time and location of large gatherings could be the difference between Life and death in some cases or indefinite whole Indefinite jail time Now that you know your threatened landscape now that you have an intuition of who your threats are their strategies Now you can go into the analysis of vulnerabilities. This is not Instead of looking outward at what the world looks like you now have to look inward So a vulnerability is the absence or weakness in an asset safeguard or countermeasure Being able to communicate digitally is an asset But the flaws limitations or errors within your technology stack Are vulnerabilities And so your adversary will constantly is all you have to assume that your adversary is constantly on the lookout looking for Critical information and things to glean And so you need to take inventory of what you use to communicate And let's take the hacktivist attacks on gab and parlor for example, and i'm not going to call parlor hack because Scraping a publicly available website Information that's out on the open internet. Anyway, it's not a hack but Those are the sort if there's no if your platform that you're using doesn't use any rate limiting The speed in which your adversary can gain that critical information then accelerates Now gab in the is actually a hacktivist attack because the sequel It was essentially a sequel injection flaw The one major reason why that sequel injection flaw was found was because gab is an open source social media platform the source code for the platform is Public is publicly available and has to be in order to maintain the licensing so When you are planning communications for an hacktivist organization, you need to examine Okay, the pros and cons of each Of each communication tool that you use because as the navy says loose lips sink ships And that's true within protesting and activism as well so My advice here is if you're planning sensitive meetings about the inner workings of your group potential discussing Major overall strategies Try not to have those sorts of things on the open internet You can use social media to get the word out But there are some things that have to stay internal before it can be presented to the general audience in general public Do you also keep in mind that there are some things that you some Things that can leak Critical information later on so let's say Let's say time and sense say Knowing that this member a Corresponds directly to leadership in an activist organization That in and of itself may not be critical information but member a Also Attent also has this style of laptop Also connects to the wi-fi at that grandmother's house with a weak wi-fi password That's how that you could see that that's That through the chaining of all that information together Is how critical information can then continue on and be leaked so One of the best ways to identify what could be pieced together and As critical information of all is hack yourself Like not just go through threat modeling and as an intellectual exercise, but actually buying people In industry who are willing to just do not just the risk assessment, but see All right, we use these sorts of communication tools These people are or your targets. Can you get can you get the information from them? And that's a really good way to find out real vulnerabilities So now that you know your threat landscape and as well as the vulnerabilities within your particular organization now You have the tools with which to actually define your risks because risks are Anything risk level of risk depends on the level of threat of your threats multiplied by the number or the intensity of your vulnerabilities And so you could have a single threat actor exploiting multiple vulnerabilities or multiple Threat actors exploiting just one critical flaw So There is in nonviolent protesting. There's no such thing as eliminating threats What you do instead is just denying information to your threats And you reduce your vulnerabilities by Selecting your communication mechanisms limiting information Limiting information through a members so authorization checks for certain things And also thinking through okay if these members are also leaked What's the risk if the information known by this group is leaked or is leaked out? Now we're at the fun part and that is the applying the appropriate counter measures. So Now that we can do a risk probability Whether it's high medium or low Then you can start addressing your various risks Now again, none of this is ironclad in terms of order. You don't have to You don't have to start at one two three, but any information that you Glean from the first Works in the last so So What makes a good now that we're in this step? We can work out what makes a good counter measure and any counter measure that does not reduce risk In a meaningful way It's not an effective counter measure. It's just a waste of time right second Is that the counter measure in and of itself cannot lead to? Opset indicators little pieces and nuggets of information that can be pieced together and Disclose critical information Again that reduces the effectiveness of what a counter measure is supposed to do And third and this is something that you really Involve some meditation and some planning is the cost of the counter measure Cannot exceed the benefit Of what cannot exceed the Cost Cost of if that risk was exploited in the first place. So counter if the counter measure Or if the counter measure is way too expensive to actually implement And i'm not talking about expensive in terms of money. I'm talking about expensive in terms of effort In coordinating and collaborating Then the benefits are mute because no one's going to use it Now that we know that we know these three things we can cycle back to the how Now things like burner phones You can actually do an assessment on that Burner phones work. However If you use your Purchase the burner phone with the debit or credit card That's not really going to help That's not really going to help you if you use the burner phone in proximity to your real cell phone That is that's not going to help you. In fact, they're in fact creepy doll Talk, there's another def con doc that was done a while ago You can show that correlation between two devices being activated And so every security control that you wish to implement has to be examined within the context Other security controls pass this small test. So Let's use signal for example like using signal for For Encrypted communication that works and that doesn't seem to be difficult to implement And so there are other tools like password managers VPNs multi-factor authentication And setting up encryption at rest all of these things Or are effective and will pass the smell test So keep calm and calculate on So in the beginning I promised you to give you the how and explore the why and the how of opsec is simple It is the five steps the identification of critical information the analysis of threats in the Analysis of your own vulnerabilities a risk assessment Not armed with the previous two pieces of information as well as the application of appropriate countermeasures That's the how and that just leaves us with the why And I can't give you your why But I can present mine I am here right now speaking to you because someone made a pull request It took planning it took ingenuity and of course some caution And I want to empower you to keep the signal going And present your changes into the world Thank you


You can also look into other options for tracking the time and having your employees Tied to it. You can look into the turn-on time tracking option here But we're just gonna manually enter it in the enter time down below now as I enter the time There's a couple ways you might do this Like if I have an employee that's entering the information into their time and I said this was like Adam Hamilton or something Then they can create their item over here They can create their item over here This is the customer job that they would be working on We saw this in the prior month when you create the service item Which the service item will be used to then create the invoice that will bill the client with we can either use Whatever they worked on so we could use like the hourly rate or something like that Or we can set up a different billable item that will be charging out the time that has been worked So we can basically bill out in other words by what they did or we can bill out by the person that did the work So we might say certain people we're gonna put on jobs that are gonna be higher level jobs And we're gonna have a higher billable rate for those people's time That's the method we're gonna use here and we're gonna imagine that they that they have guitar lessons So guitar lessons is how we're gonna mirror this process. We have people that are doing guitar lessons They're gonna enter their time who they did the guitar lessons for and then we're gonna bill out that time


So Vivian says, hi Matthew just broke up with my ex three weeks ago after almost four years we had a 20 we had a 23 year gal and he is still pursuing his future ambitions career and after all this years being supportive, being patient, I felt I lost myself. I feel he hasn't reassured me enough about our future. It was almost a perfect relationship. I believe we helped each other becoming better people compatible in many ways. I just feel we were at the wrong time. Oh, there's a 23 year gap is what you're trying to say. So yeah, I mean possibly if he broke up with you, which is what it sounds like happened, then it wasn't it probably wasn't as perfect as you think it was. So a lot of times what happens is in our minds we think this is going great, right? Everything is amazing. But the other person if the other person isn't thinking, man, this is amazing or whatever, then it's not the same, right? Or if he's got if he's in another space in his life where he's not ready for this, I don't know what the 23 year gap is, is that 23?  If you're 23 years older than him, then it's very possible that he's not in a space in his life where he wants to settle down. And if he's 23 years older than you, then it's possible that it's probably more likely that he just didn't feel like the relationship was as good as you felt like it was.


His intercession for us is beyond our ability to comprehend or understand. It's through groanings which cannot be uttered. Which means they're inexpressible through words. They're inaudible. We don't hear them. And we can't fully understand them. They are incomprehensible. This is not referring to the gibberish tongues of Charismaniacs. It's not what it's referring to. It's referring to the intercession of the Holy Spirit for His own.


The Farm to Food Opportunity Online series was funded by a grant from the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service. This module is about food value chains. Please share your feedback using the link to the evaluation found in the video description below. Learning Objectives In this module, you will learn key partners in the value chain. You will learn about the opportunity for food hubs. You will learn how food hubs differs from traditional supply chain operations. You will learn how food hubs can increase consumer demand through brand advancement. You will learn how food hub partners can create value on both ends of the supply chain. For additional resources, you can consult the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service publication, Food Value Chains, creating shared value to enhance success. The food supply chain is a continuous cycle of production, aggregation, distribution, consumption, reclamation and resumption. For this training, we will be focused on production, which is the initial link in the chain which starts with our farmers and ranchers growing the food that eventually ends up on our tables. Aggregation and distribution are the links which incorporate transportation and storage of harvested food on the way to the consumer. These are the usual functions of a food hub and the main focus of this training. Consumption happens when food arrives at restaurants and retail stores to be purchased by the consumer, who is the final link in the supply chain being considered in this training. During this session, we won't be focused on the reclamation and resumption aspects of this food supply chain. However, they will be noted. Understanding that external factors impact every link in the supply chain is crucial as we consider a food hub operation. Each link in the chain is dealing with a host of internal variables as well as impact from external factors. These factors often fall into three general categories, including finance, service providers and the policy considerations. Factors like access to credit and capital impact each link in the chain, but differently. Taxes and insurance are also in play across the supply chain, impacting each link differently. For instance, food safety regulations are in place across the chain, but producers experience different regulations from distributors or retailers facing consumers. External factors work in every step of the supply chain. Taxes impact everyone. Insurance impacts everyone. Regulations impact everyone and more. This table is a simple overview of the external environment. In a food value chain versus a standard food supply chain, the participants work together in a constant cycle to feed and clothe us. Each participant deals with a host of individual challenges, but believes that another level of success and sustainability can be achieved by working collaboratively. Successful value chain partners often have a common goal and a shared set of values. When partners approach these values, intentionally the food chain supply can be transformed into a food value chain. Examples of these values might include commitments to certain production practices like organic vegetables, grass-fed beef or free-range poultry. It could include commitments to healthy food access or preservation of farmland. The important thing to remember here is that the members of the collaborative are committed to the shared values, whatever they may be. These values become a way of work and a part of the brand. A typical supply chain is defined as a set of trading partner relationships and transactions that delivers a food product from producers to consumers. A food value chain or value-based food supply chain is defined as a set of strategic alliances between farmers or renters and other supply chain partners that deal in significant volumes of how quality differentiated food products and rewards are distributed equitably across the chain. Volume, quality, and differentiation are critical to establishing a food value chain. Volume, quality, and differentiation are critical to establishing a food value chain. Product differentiation occurs when a set of meaningful differences are defined that make your product different from a competitor's. A product can be differentiated based on quality, production methods, or the place of origin. We will look at this idea more later in this module. Since the food value chain is a collaborative model from producer through the supply chain to the consumer, it can be established and led by any link in the chain. Across the country, this leadership has happened differently depending on the local situation and local assets in the supply chain. Here are some examples of producer-led, aggregator-led, and consumer-led food value change, which emerge from different circumstances at the local level. Sometimes a food hub is established by producers because in a food value chain, farmers and renters are strategic participants, not just commodity suppliers. Farmers who participate in a food value chain approach can access new markets and often retain a higher percentage of revenue. Good Nature Family Farms sells hormone and antibiotic-free beef to bald food stores, henhouse markets. This example of a producer-owned and operated Cooperative Food Hub operation is Good Nature Family Farms located in Kansas City, Missouri. The tagline for the hub operation is Good Earth, Good Food, Good Life. Good Natural Family Farms represents over 100 small family farm producers from the Kansas City area. All of the participating producers adhere to the national by fresh, by local criteria. Good Nature Family Farms' key retail partner is Bald's Food Stores. Good Nature Family Farms has grown from one producer with two mini-tomatoes to include a diverse product line and recognize brands sold in 11 hens house and 17 price chopper stores owned by Bald Foods. Rainbow Organic was the founding partner and now serves as the quality coordinator and processor. The collaborative works closely with Bald Foods, their primary retail partner and is a valuable outlet for small and mid-sized producers. In 2011, GNFF growth sales topped $3 million. Visit GNFF online at www.goodnaturefamilyfarms.com. Aggregation and distribution are the real jobs of a food hub. This section we will look at an aggregator that sustains itself by bringing value to both the producer and consumer ends of the supply chain. Since this entire training focuses on the nuts and bolts of a food hub operation, we will take a look at a successful regional food hub that has built a strong product brand in the northeastern U.S. Red Tomato proudly proclaims righteous produce as a tagline to their effort to boost small and mid-sized farmers across the region of the northeastern United States. Based in Canton, Massachusetts, Red Tomato works with participating producers to ensure that produce is of the highest quality, picked at the right time and delivered at the height of freshness and flavor. Red Tomato also interprets market trends back to participating producers which might mean a new crop opportunity like a hairline plant or change in production methods like pasture-raised pork. Red Tomato has been able to develop a value chain in the region which has extended the season for local food for by expanding the region of participating producers. By developing packaging, branding, and marketing materials that tell a story, Red Tomato has capitalized on differentiating on quality, production process, and place of origin. Visit Red Tomato online at www.redtomato.org. Consumer demand for local food has grown tremendously over the last two decades. High-end restaurants and celebrity chefs begin celebrating local seasonably available slow food as an alternative to commodity production fast food. Retailers, restaurants, and institutions are increasingly recognizing and valuing locally sourced food. One of the challenges for these food value chain partners is being able to consistently source product that meets the quality demands of the final consumer. La Montanita begin with the consumer and reach backward into the supply chain to build a strong network of retail and wholesale local food options. As a food hub, La Montanita is an example of a consumer-side supply chain link reaching back into the chain to handle the aggregation and distribution function. La Montanita is a community-owned retail co-op located in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The first store was started in 1976 serving 300 customers who wanted access to locally grown produce. There are now four stores serving 1,600 families carrying over 1,100 products from over 400 local producers. The co-op distribution center serves small community groceries, restaurants, and commercial kitchens. La Montanita operates the aggregation and distribution functions in order to serve the final consumer through its retail and wholesale trade. Visit La Montanita online at www.LaMontanita.coop. A closer examination of the markets and business opportunities will demonstrate the case for collaborating in a food value chain. Serving intermediate markets like retail chains, restaurants, and institutions like schools require scale that many small and mid-sized producers cannot achieve. The market for local food has seen tremendous growth in the last two decades. The total market for local food sales was estimated in 2015 to be $8.7 billion. While 85% of local food farms are small farms, grossing $75,000 cash income annually, these farms account for just 13% of local food sales. On the other end of the spectrum, 5% of the local food farms are larger, grossing $350,000 income annually. And these large farms account for 67% of local food sales. Any farm of institutional distribution of local food requires volume. Small producers need aggregators to achieve volume. The graphs show that the largest portion of revenue derived from local food sales is realized by large producers. While small farms make up the vast majority of farms selling locally, the economic benefit largely goes to large producers. A typical supply chain is defined as a set of trading partner relationships and transactions that delivers a food product from producers to consumers. A food value chain or values-based food supply chain is defined as a set of strategic alliances between farmers or ranchers and other supply chain partners that deal in significant volumes of high-quality, differentiated food products and rewards are distributed equitably across the chain. Volume, quality, and differentiation are critical to establishing a food value chain. Product differentiation occurs when a set of meaningful differences are defined that make your product different from a competitor's. A product can be differentiated based on quality, production methods, or place of origin. We will look at this idea more later in this module. Spending at locally-owned businesses generates greater economic benefit from the same spending at chains. Total economic effect value comes from direct, indirect, and induced sources. Direct sources examples include the food that is produced and income earned by workers involved in the production. Indirect sources include items locally supplied inputs like seed or equipment and services that support production. Induced sources include all of the earnings spent in the region by workers in the direct and indirect sources. For example, a farmer buys clothing for her family with earnings from her work. As we consider the scope and size of the market for local food, it's helpful to understand the way that local spending benefits the community. Studies have shown that local-owned businesses generate greater local benefit than comparable spending at chains. A multi-study showed that independent retailers generate 3.7 times the local economic impact as compared to chains. Restaurants have been shown to generate 2.15 times the economic impact locally. Total economic value for local food is derived from adding the direct, indirect, and induced earnings. We will take a look at the direct earnings difference to better understand the value of local food. Direct economic benefits primarily come with consumers substitute a local product from a product that originates in another region. This is called import substitution. The other source of direct economic benefits comes from the multiplier effect, which occurs when a dollar spent locally generates additional spending and economic activity. In the food system, multiplier effects occur when a local producer sells to a direct customer or aggregator who then sells to a customer. The earnings generated by the producer and the aggregator are then spent on goods and services in the region. Food hubs have shown multipliers of 1.63 to 1.82, meaning that each dollar spent through a food hub generates additional economic benefit to the local community. One of the critical roles that successful food hubs play in the food value chain is building the brand through differentiation. The participating producers contribute their harvest to the food hub aggregator that assures the consumer that a steady supply of high quality, differentiated food product is a valuable reason to purchase from the hub. Value proposition is a reason for customers to choose your product or service others. Brands are built on value proposition. When we consider product differentiation in terms of the food system, we are particularly focused on extraordinary product quality. For instance, chef quality heirloom vegetables. Sometimes production processes like organic heirloom or grass-fed is a differentiator and place of origin can be hallmark of a differentiated product like fruit from a specific county or region. Throughout this module, we have learned key partners in the value chain. Specifically, we are looking at operations in the aggregation and distribution work of food hub. We have learned that by collaborating with a food value chain, a producer could gain access to larger markets and retain a greater portion of the revenue. A food hub can bring value throughout the supply chain by building a high quality differentiated brand. A food hub featuring local and regional products can generate more income for the region that circulates within the region because of substitutions and multipliers. The shared values that participants in the food value chain agree to live by can be used as part of the brand building effort. For instance, the food value chain might all agree to grow organically or meet common national standards. The food hub will then build out the story of differentiation to potential buyers, increasing demand for those products and commanding a higher price. Food value chains differ from standard food supply chains because of the shared mission and values. Farmers and renters are strategic partners, not just interchangeable suppliers. Food value chains afford small and mid-sized producers to unlock new markets by collaborating to build volume and brand. We hope that you found this video helpful.

You wouldn't even qualify for the race if you don't have people that are proficient in computer science because of how much data the cars collect and the necessity to be able to have people that can write programs that to figure out how you can continue to build performance. In these puzzles, you'll be an artist that uses a pencil to draw different shapes so wherever your artist goes, people draw a line behind them. To move around the canvas, you'll use the Move Forward block. Here, the Move Forward block says Move Forward by 100 pixels. When we hit Run, what happens? The artist moves forward a certain amount and that amount is 100 pixels. Pixels are basically very tiny squares on your computer screen. The other block we have in this puzzle says Turn Right by 90 degrees. And when we drag that out, that makes our artist turn a certain amount. So you can play around with how far you want the artist to turn. This is a 90 degree turn. And this is a 120 degree turn. And remember, you can change these values by clicking the arrows next to the numbers for pixels and degrees. Enjoy drawing with your artist.
