Hey guys, it's Nate aka the Foot Accountant. Welcome back to the channel. It is Thursday, Rewards Day, EPL, Premier League, Team of the Seasons are in rewards. It is Foot Champions Rewards Day. Good luck if you are opening. There's a lot of stuff that's going to happen today on the market. That's what I want to talk about in this video and also talk about the content that is coming today as well because it is the big Thursday when we're getting the upgrade packs that we've wanted this entire week. We're finally getting the premium league specific upgrades with the Premier League one coming today. I want to talk about that upgrade pack first and kind of talk about the content that we're going to get today as well. After we talk about the effect of Weekend League Rewards on this market and what is going to happen today, I also want to talk about the Premier League Tots guarantee that came out yesterday on Wednesday and what that did to the market. Now I know a lot of you guys are still interested in buying Team of the Seasons so far items. Premier League, Team of the Seasons so far items and I told you guys last night, I said, hey, your best time to buy those is going to be during this time period right now recording before rewards or during the first hour or two or rewards. What I didn't account for in that prediction was the fact that EA was going to drop the guaranteed SBC on Wednesday. It came out in the code on Tuesday and I honestly did not expect this upgrade SBC, the guaranteed Prem SBC. I did not expect this SBC to come out today or on Wednesday as it did and actually, if we're pinpointing it, the lowest time to buy these cards would have been before 6pm UK when this SBC came out yesterday. I think that's actually going to be where it hits their lowest but because they've risen a little bit since then but I think you're not out of luck just yet. If you wanted to buy somebody like Mane, let's look at some of these cards from today and what happened with the guaranteed SBC. If you wanted to buy a card like Mane, what happened was that it was 1.7, the SBC came right around here and boom. Basically what happens is and this is what happened last year and it wasn't easy to read last week because it was the guaranteed SBC came out on rewards day and was just so much content in one day. What we really know now is that people on this market want to buy a team of the season cards after the guaranteed SBC. They will buy after the guaranteed SBC regardless of when that is. They will, they will. That's what we saw today, right? 1.77 for Mane today, right before the content drop. Two hours after the content drop he's back to 1.99 where he currently is right now. So he's up 200,000 coins. So people today, basically what they did was they went out and they completed the SBC. If they didn't pack the card that they wanted to pack they just went out and bought it. That's what they did today. Now some of the cards have come down a little bit. You know it's kind of like that Friday nighttime frame where everybody panic sells then they buy back and then it kind of dips back down again. See like Sun today was 1.57 early early on Wednesday kind of rose. He was 1.67 at the content drop time, boomed up to 1.8 and now he's kind of back down 100K again to 1.37. So you know this Sun card, I mean if you, you might not be able to get Sun tonight during rewards at 1.57 unless you get a lucky snipe. But there is a very high probability that you could get yourself a Hyunmin Sun tonight at rewards at like a 1.6 to 1.65, maybe like the 1.65 range. You can expect undercuts and drops on these cards tonight for rewards. So there is going to be an opportunity to snag some of these cards tonight. But this is the bottom line with these cards. If you want to buy any of them for your team, if you're opening rewards right away early this morning in the UK time or like really early morning middle of the night NA time or like what is it like midnight Pacific or something like that whenever rewards come out, whatever that is, if you're opening rewards like right after they come out, you need to look at these cards and be watching them for that first hour to two hours of that rewards time frame because that's going to be your time, your last chance to move before these cards go up a lot. You know, we saw the ones that jumped up today like the Sun card. I just looked at right? He went from 1.6 all the way to 1.8. You're going to see big jumps like that again today on a lot of these cards, especially in the high tier range. Jamie Vardy was 7.65. He boomed up to 8.13 and he's back down to 7.70 right now. So this is a card that a lot of people packed today from the guaranteed, right? A lot of people in the guaranteed today packed Vardy. I saw Trent pop in a lot. I saw Adama, Wambasaka, Kovacic, a lot of Henderson's and Rashford's to be honest. And so you don't choose as well. But regardless, the buy time for basically all of these team season cards, if you haven't bought yet is definitely going to be during the first couple of hours today during rewards because again, this is what we've been talking about all week is what's going to happen when these rewards come to the market is just tons and tons of coin supply is going to be just put on this game because everybody opening those elite rewards is getting guaranteed team the season cards are going to go out and they'll sell those, right? And this in Boppe was 3.69 earlier today. He's 3.8. Some of the team of the years have bounced back a little bit. Some of the icons are starting to bounce back after today. So you're going to see a lot of continue to rise up today on the market. That's why I am broke because today what we're getting content wise is probably a player SBC is what I would imagine probably some sort of a player SBC, those upgrade packs, which are going to be big hits, right? The new the premium league upgrade packs that we want the 25 K packs, those are going to be coming out as well. And then we're probably going to also get some sort of like pack supply SBC, I would imagine like a premium league challenge. I think we have one of those that is still live right now, a premium league challenge mate right here. I would expect to get one more of these packs today as content as well. And then, you know, it's really just going to be people doing upgrade packs are going to try some of those and the rest of the markets just going to go up because people are going to start buying teams because the guaranteed SBC is not today. Last week on Thursday, we didn't see too much of a market rise in like the the Prem specials or the out of packs special cards that we have a lot of us have invested in on this channel. And a lot of you guys that listen to me talk about out of packs Prem cards all the time. You know, you didn't see a huge rise on those last last Thursday, you saw the biggest rise on Friday night. I think you're going to see more of a rise today on Thursday because you know people are going to be maybe do some upgrade packs but ultimately Thursday is get ready for weekend league day before Friday comes out. And then you're going to see more of a market rise today I think because the amount of coin ejection and stuff like that. Now that being said, there is still if you're doing upgrade packs all day today, if you're like unassigned on Prem rares, I think Prem rares right now are still ridiculously expensive. I try to search this way. Let me search up somebody like Hennessy, right? 75 rated goalkeeper. What I would do boys is honestly, I don't know if I would really invest in these. I do think that EA is going to require these in the new SBC that comes out today. These are down a little bit maybe like most of them are starting to dip under 3k now I think not really still 2.8k for a lot of these cards for Hennessy there. I do think you're going to see these drop with rewards. So it's going to make that four player pack cheaper. But there's going to be continued demand for those because there's going to be this SBC out right here. So if you do want to buy those, I would say maybe try to get on some bids during rewards. If that's something that you do really, really want to do. I'm going to try to hit some upgrade packs really hard on Thursday today. And I'm hoping that people, I wish this SBC was going away to be honest. I wish this was going away so that the new one that comes out today on Thursday is what the one everybody would go for and it would probably drop the Prem rares to a more reasonable value. I hope they don't include a Premier League specific player requirement for this SBC. Although I do think they'll require a few. So it is what it is. We'll find out what happens today. They know that we're going to pay crazy amounts of money for those upgrade packs now. So they're going to require a lot more rares. And that's just the way it's going to be for the rest of at least I think the rest of FIFA. And of course we need to talk about the special card market as well. A lot of you guys have bought out of pack specials like me. If you look at my transfer list, right? I've got tons of these out of pack special cards. My Dembales are still chilling. Some of these Mars right 288. I bought that early today 260. These cards and I had to show you some graphs. There was some major, major panic today on the market. Lucas for 281. Look at that one. Lucas for 313. I bought that earlier in the day 275. Look at some of these prices, man. Let me show you some real prices right here. Emerson 108. Emerson for 109. Venetius for 315. Venetius for 312. I think I got a Venetius at 300. Some of these cards went crazy, crazy low today because of the entire panic for this promo. Now let me find a couple options over here and flip in so I can show you. Like let's look at Venetius, right? Because that is a very, very popular card that a lot of people panic sold today and it has now rebounded a little bit, rebounded a little bit. Look what happened today, man. This was crazy. Everybody had to go out and try to fund the SBC that they were trying to do today. The Premier League Tots Guaranteed SBC. Venetius was 380K this morning, right? Basically 400K Wednesday morning before the SBC. The SBC drops. My dude is down to 300K flat, starts rebounding, hits 345, and is right now about 330, right? 335. A lot of cards had these movements today where Charleston was like 900K. Conte was 500 something. Why is this 465? How cheap was Ferland Mendy today?  We've got a lot of League of Tots coming this weekend, bro. 450. He went back to 480. Now he's 460. Again, if you did not go broke today on the panic, that's I tweeted out multiple times today. I said this panic is insane on the market. Foot birthday cancello was one that I looked at too, right? Foot birthday cancello who was 200,000 coins basically the past couple days of this early week. This guy was 140K this morning during the content drop. Basically what happened, look, 149. Look at the drop, man, and the rebound. Basically what happened today was people had to go sell cards to get coins, to go do this SBC. And then it was a combination of that and also people selling cards so that they could go buy the team of the season card that they wanted to buy or their team because these cards pushed up today as well. It was honestly crazy out on the market. Even this, this guy's so low, man. This guy was 130,000 coins earlier this morning. Griezmann was 900K flat and Boppe was 4.4 mil. St. Maximil was 1.4. There were crazy undercuts on icons on all of these out of pack special cards. And that's why I am broke. And I hope you guys went in as well. I was talking to my discord and I was tweeting out multiple times. I said, Hey, there is some big time panic on a lot of these cards. You guys should take action because these out of pack specials are going to rebound after rewards today and into this weekend. Icona, like one of the most popular 5.3 million games played on this card. French center attacking me with great stats on a low budget, right? This guy was 200,000 coins on PlayStation 160 on Xbox, right? What happened today in the panic? This dude goes from 160,170 this morning and about a, you know, 116K on Xbox goes from 160. I saw this card at 109,000 coins and on PlayStation went to 80K. So insane, insane drops on this market today. And if you got in today, when a lot of us did, a lot of people were tweeting about it. It was just an absolute money time to buy into a lot of these cards. I bought a lot of these Brazilians, the Venetius and the Emerson because I think these guys are just, I just saw their drop amounts and I was like, okay, I'm going to go for the Emerson and the Venetius because they're very rare cards. That's why I bought them.  I bought a couple earlier in the day for like 300K and I thought I was getting great deals. But now he's back to 300,000 coins. I bought this early in the day. This guy's now like 190K, which is crazy. Mares, I bought this at 260. There were deals everywhere. Honestly, deals everywhere today. This son I bought earlier in the week, 589 for this son.  Some of these cards are still pretty low as well. So if you haven't purchased any, don't feel like you missed the boat, right? I got a Veran today for 591. That was pretty low. What is he? Is he 600K? So we're still about the same price, 630-ish. There's still some low prices out there. Get on a full pin. Look around.  This card today, I got one for 200,000 coins and he went to like one, I think he went to 170 at one point, like crazy undercuts and a lot of these special cards, right? Bruno Fernandez, I picked one up at 470. This guy hasn't dropped under 500K in the past like two weeks. There's one for 505. That's pretty cheap. So yeah, there was just a ton of, ton of deals today on this market. Go look now before rewards if you're watching this because there's still an opportunity that you could pack yourself or not pack that you could buy yourself a card or two as well as you're watching the pre-rewards market. But again, why am I focusing on the prem? Why are we talking about prem? Because I do think a lot of Premier League links are going to rise with these cards. People are going to pack these red today. They're going to build teams and you're going to see the market rise. You're also going to see people do the upgrade packs, right? So you're going to see a lot of that kind of stuff. And I would expect to play your SBC today as well that would come out.  Just so that you are in the know of what is going on with all of these specials, right? All the ones that I just re-listed that I bought today. I think I've got, I've literally got like eight, nine million coins, maybe quite honestly, just about 10 million coins on my transfer list right now with all these cards. I've got some Zaha's and some higher tier cards that are taking up some of that amount. I'm probably going to sell some of these guys because I need to make coins, right? I need to cash out on some of these. I'll watch the rises tomorrow, but once the upgrade packs come out, I'm probably going to get myself a mill to two million coins so that I can do those upgrades. And then we'll see what happens with the rest of the market. If it does rise, you know, extraordinarily, I might take some more coins and then look for more panic on Friday morning. So if you want to hold all of your primary specials all the way through Friday night, be my guest because Friday night's going to be the absolute, you know, highest time for those cards when they're going to reach their highest on the market. But you know, I might sell a little bit early so that I can get some coins, go do those upgrade packs and then have some possibility to pick up some panic on Friday morning for a La Liga team this season, which we should also see a loading screen for today. If it is actually coming, if the leaks are correct, that's coming today as well. I want to talk about SBC fodder because a lot of you guys are saying that my SBC fodder did not go up today. False. If your SBC fodder did not go up today, then you did not buy the right things. Again, think about all the stuff that has come out in the last week, right? The La Liga cards and I tweeted this out last week. I said, hey, make sure you look at La Liga links for fodder, right? Spanish and La Liga links because everybody was packing PK. Everybody was packing Tiago, Casamiro, those guys from Rewards last week, Busquets as well, right? You saw a lot of the Spanish stuff really rise well today. And again, if it had good links, good nationalities, the 88s, you know, some of the 87s even did really well today. But some of the stuff is super duper low. It was like a really weird day for fodder, right? Some stuff went crazy high and stuff, some stuff just went low because of what they required an 88 rated squad for the guaranteed SBC today. Oblak is 74k. I think he was like 50k or 60k at one point. Ter Stegen was 45k at one point. He's now 60k. Salah and out of packs is 60k. Crazy, one of the cheapest. That's pretty wild. And also, if you guys bought Busquets, if you bought Courtois or Godin as one of the cheapest 93 rated, you can cash out. I sold today, I sold a Busquets at 100,000 coins. I would cash out on some of these because you know, you run the risk of them getting included in La Liga team of the season. I don't think it's likely, especially for Courtois and Busquets. But if you want to take the coins, that's why I sold my Busquets today. I think I have one more in the club. I need to sell as well. Just take the safer out with those. I mean, if you bought them at 70 to 80k, you're making a nice, you know, 25k a card almost if you bought them at 70k. So you will take that for sure. But the fodder today was all over the place. I did sell a few things. Again, I cleared one of them, but I sold a cool Bali at 50k. I bought that at 36k a couple days ago in a club stock. So again, the stuff that usually goes up the most, right? That stuff went up today. If your fodder did not go up, you did a club stock, then I would just say continue to hold it, right? Just continue to hold that SBC fodder. And if you want to go back in, like we're looking at Thomas Muller right now, 86 rated Thomas Muller. If your club is cleared out of fodder because maybe you didn't buy it or because you did the SBC today. Thomas Muller, 86 is man. Some of the good 86s are 14,000 coins a piece. This is very, very low. 85s are stinking low. 87s are stinking low. So there's a possibility for another SBC today if it is a good value one. A player SBC that is. I feel like they might give us one more prem player today. You know, maybe you go pick up a Lacazette because he's one of the cheapest primary league, 86 rated at the moment, according to Footbin, 14, 750. You know what? I'll snag one. I think I used mine today on the SBC. Never mind. I didn't. I'm going to send in the transfer list. Guess we made a little investment right there. Never mind. But look through, look through, right? Look through the cheapest players by rating Bernardo Silva. I know I have one in the club. He's 22K. That's really cheap for an 87 rated Bernardo Silva. What about some of the 85s again? Higuardy. Higuardy is a very popular for his links. 85 rated card for SBCs, right? This guy's 5K. 5000 coins for a Cardi man. I'll take that in my club. GGs, all right? Stuff like that. If you did expend some of your fodder today, 87 and below fodder is looking pretty low in some in some portions in some areas. So crazy day on the market and it's going to be another crazy day today. But again, instead of everything being panic sold and going down today, you're going to see stuff that goes up and up and away in my opinion because of the amount of coins that are going to be put onto this market today. And then of course, a lot more team in season pack pulls you're going to see today as everybody goes out and does the new upgrade SBC. Which by the way, I do want to update you guys. I'm sure some of you guys don't or aren't able to tune into the live streams. That link is down below in the description if you're interested. But I have had some insane, yes, insane team of the season luck. For whatever reason, boys, you know my account has been really, really lucky this year with untradable pack pulls. I've packed five team of the seasons. Four of them have been Premier League. No, yes, four of them have been Premier League from upgrade packs. I got Sun and Henderson last night in upgrade packs. I've gotten Trent as well. And then today from the guaranteed pack live on stream, Mr. Nick run the foot market opened it for me. I did a little share play action. First time I've ever done a share play. It was very interesting. But he opened that pack and he we packed for Charleston. So that was crazy. So I'm going to have to figure the team out. I'm probably going to sell Neymar and Bob this weekend and rock another full untradable side with my tots cards.  Hopefully we get a few more.  I'm hoping I don't get duplicates because with all the untradables now that are in my club, I feel like a duplicate scenario is bound to happen. So again, if you want to buy some players for your weekend league teams, do so before weekend league rewards, stock up on maybe some rares from other leagues, just in case they don't require Prem rares for the new upgrade SBC, if that's something you want to do today. And then just watch these team the season cards rise, man. Just watch the high tier cards rise first and quickly. And then these lower tier guys are going to rise a little bit slower, right? If you want to buy a sedentary for your team, you might not you might not want to buy him within the first hour because he still could drop, you know, 100, you know, not 100, 100k, but maybe like another 10 to 20 to 30k possibly, because a lot of people are going to pack him red, you know, from the guaranteed pack SBC today, I feel like a lot of people are also going to get Henderson red, Rashford, Wambasaka, Adama, Kovacic, a lot of these lower tier guys, they're going to get red. So you might see some people that end up selling these cards along with the reward supply. So it'll take longer for these cards to really rise up. But I still think you will see a rise in them, you'll see a quicker rise on a guy like a Vardy possibly, a De Bruyne, Mahrez, Sun, Abamian, dude, I'm still I'm telling you, if you want a bombing for your team, you need to buy him literally during that first hour of or if there's any panic selling tonight, this card, I think is the most this Abamian card is more rare than De Bruyne. De Bruyne and Abamian are basically equal. If not, Abamian is more rare on the market, which is crazy for whatever reason. I think this card could easily be 2.2 million coins on the weekend. I think the Salah card is going to rebound pretty nicely as well. I feel like you should be one of five. Mane's got to be back over two mil. Aguero is going to be two five in a week or so, you know, there's going to be some really nice rises on these cards. So just be prepared for it. If you want it for your team, splash the cash early sooner rather than later, because today I don't see a lot of stuff that's going to be hindering those cards. A lot of people started to buy them up yesterday. And I think more of that's going to continue on today into the weekend. We'll have another video tomorrow looking at the La Liga team this season and whatever loading screen comes today, because there should be a loading screen or La Liga Tots as well. If you enjoyed this video, smash the thumbs up on it, comment down below if you have any questions. And of course, subscribe to the channel. If you're new, it's been Nate the Foot Accountant. Catch you guys later. Peace out.


Hi and welcome to Nursing School Explained and this video on spinal cord injury. So first of all passive physiologically typically what happens there's some sort of a traumatic injury. Most of spinal cord injuries are related to motor vehicle crash, falls, or an act of violence such as stabbings or contract wounds or sports traumatic sports events or any kind of other traumatic events you can think of. Now we have to also think about the primary degree of injury or then secondary injury that can occur. So typically primary injury occurs from the actual insult to the spinal cord itself, so the actual injury itself and secondary injuries result from either bleeding, hemorrhage, edema, ischemia to the spinal cord infections that may occur after the fact after the injuries. So let's look at this here. So typically we have classifications into mechanism of injury, level of injury, and then the degree of injury. So mechanism of injury can be flexions. This could be anything like a car accident where the where the head gets flexed forward. It can be a hyperextension. So for example if I trip and fall and I hit my chin on the table, my head gets hyperextended back. I might have a spinal cord injury in my C or high T spine. That can be flexion and rotation injuries. So that would be flexion and then rotation and then extension and rotation. So extension again and rotation and then or compression. So this could be something as of a fall of a building or maybe diving into a pool and hitting the head on the ground where the vertebra gets compressed. Typically the most significant injuries and the most common are the flexion and extension injuries. And they cause a lot of damage because they involve a lot of the ligaments that can tear and actually support the spinal cord and the vertebral column. And therefore the injuries are can be pretty significant. Now then regarding the level of the injury. So I drew a head here and then the spinal cord and recall that there are seven cervical vertebra, 12 in the thoracic spine, five in the lumbar spine, five in the sacral area, and then four fused vertebra in the coccyx area. And depending on the level of the injury, the higher up the injury, the more significant signs and symptoms the patient will have and the more significant the possible paralysis can be. And so cervical injuries, so anything from C1 through 7 usually involves the arms and will result in quadriplegia or sometimes now it's also called tetraplegia. So that will involve the arms and usually again the higher the injury the worse it is. And there's a saying that says C3, 4 and 5 keep the diaphragm alive. And so we have to think about the diaphragm as the major muscle of breathing. So if there is an injury to level C3, 4 and 5, that may involve the patient's ability to breathe and they may need to go on a ventilator and actually be ventilator dependent for the rest of their life depending if it's a partial or complete injury to their spinal cord. And then injuries to the thoracic lumbar and sacral areas will usually result in paraplegia so only the lower extremities are involved. And then regarding the degree of injury it can either be a partial or complete loss of sensory and motor functions. And keep in mind that every extremity or on every part of our body really we have sensory and motor innervation that allow us to feel and then also contract the musculature of the extremity or that body part and depending on the level of injury and the severity of the injury motor and or sensory sensations or function might be impaired. And then so over here if there's a partial degree of injury there are basically four different syndromes that can occur and they all depend on what happens. And so I've drawn out the spinal cord here in the middle with the ventral and the dorsal horn and then in red is the area that's actually affected. So central cord syndrome is the most common and is usually related to hyperextension with swelling on the spinal cord on the central cord so it usually involves the middle section of the spinal cord where anterior cord syndrome is related to an anterior compression from bony fragments or disc herniation those are the discs that cushion us between the vertebra. If there's an injury and the disc herniates so it moves out of its space it can put pressure on that anterior cord and cause anterior cord syndrome. Now regarding posterior cord syndrome that will be on the posterior side usually a smaller area that is affected and that is usually because of an acute compression injury and then there can be a hemisection from a penetrating injury or from secondary ischemia or hemorrhage. So that will only be affecting one part of the spinal cord and these penetrating injuries usually involve violent injuries such as gun shot wounds or stabbing injuries on one side of the spinal cord. And the signs and symptoms will be different for each one of those but you can look those up separately.


Right. Good morning everyone. Welcome to New Week. Let's just begin this time with the word of prayer before we get into our study. Let's pray. Father, we thank you for this time. We thank you for giving us this opportunity to just come together and study and read your word and Lord, just learn from your word of God. Let me pray though that even as we just spend this next hour just being in your presence, Holy Spirit, you will minister to us, you will speak to us. We open our hearts to God. I pray though that everything that we learn and study together Lord, we will use it in our lives for your glory. Give me all the praise. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Amen. Alright. Okay. So last week we completed the chapter on challenges and tough times, chapter 16. So let's get into the next chapter and chapter 17 is stewardship. What is the first thing that comes to our mind when we say stewardship? The Lord Jesus even in his ministry, earthly ministry, he talked about being good stewards. Stewardship is basically proper use of resources that God has given in our hands. It could be, you know, material things. It could be our time, our money, it could be our work, it could be a family, children. So effective, essential using of the things that God has entrusted to us. And when we talk about stewardship, there are two aspects. Like how there's, for everything that's good and bad, we can either be a good steward or we can be a bad steward. And so today we're going to look at scriptural insights on how God is calling us to be good stewards. Now stewardship can, it doesn't mean we have to become, you know, a leader in ministry or we need to be, you know, somebody who's high up in the corporate sector. Only then this whole aspect of stewardship comes. You can also be a housewife or you can be somebody who's just, you know, working a small job. But stewardship is involved. For example, if God has blessed you with a way to be good stewards of it, we need to look after it. Don't look after it carelessly.  You've got to look after the house. You can't leave it all messy and, you know, if you don't look after it, the house is going to look bad. It's going to start smelling. So we need to look after it. So stewardship starts even from the smallest of things. I know today we'll talk about how these, these points, right? We'll talk about is how you and I can improve being good stewards of God. Maybe it's all of us, you know, been good stewards. These are pointers that we can continue to work on. First one, chapter 17, stewardship, first point, honor God with your personal finances, right? So Proverbs 3, 9 and 10, honor the Lord with your possessions and with the first fruits of all your increase. So your bonds will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. Look at this verse. He's saying that honor the Lord with your God, with your possessions and with the first fruits of your increase. What will happen if we do that? The outcome of honoring the Lord with our first fruits is your bonds will be filled with plenty and your vats will overflow with new wine. Again, if you look at the psalmist, he says your cup will overflow. Overflow is always talking about a blessing. So very important, right? When we honor the Lord with what God has given us, right? It could be our tithes. It could be our offerings. It could be whatever God has entrusted in our hands. Remember that everything belongs to Him and He has given us the opportunity to use it and He wants us to use it in the right way. Giving back to Him the first fruits or the prophets, at least our tithe and our offerings to Him, is a way of saying God, it's a way of honoring God. It's a way of saying God, what you have given me, out of the abundance, out of the overflow that you've given me, this is just giving me, I'm just giving a portion of what you have blessed me with. And as we bless others, we can bless people who are poor, people who are sick, those who are in need. When we bless them, really, it's such a fulfilling thing. And be assured that God will, when we honor God with all of these finances, God will multiply, God will provide for arguments, right? Second one, always tithe from your individual income. Now, Malachi 3, 10 and 12, 10 through 12, bring the full amount of your tithes to the temple so that there will be plenty of food there. Put me to the test and you will see that I will open the windows of heaven and pour out on you in abundance all kinds of good things.  Then the people of all nations will call you happy because your land will be a good place to live, right?  You give from what God has given you and I will open up the heavens and pour out on you the abundance of good things, right? Now, there are two things that we must consider, right? So for example, there is a businessman. We know that he's not going to get a monthly income, right? It all depends on profits, margins, maybe once in three months, quarterly, half-yearly, or it even could be yearly, right? Or it could just be irregular incomes that they keep coming in. So in that case, the person who's maybe in business can whenever he gets their profits or whenever he gets income from the business, it's very good to give one tenth to the loan out of that, right? What happens? We are expressing dependence on God and when we give, again, on the other side, we are building God's kingdom as well, right? And then the second aspect is that of a salaried person. Now, if a person has salaried and every month he's going to get a certain salary, first thing, keep aside what you want to give to God and then you can make your budget for the entire month, right? Now, the wrong thing to do is making the budget and then deciding, okay, no, I will giving to the Lord, I'll reduce it to this much or I will not give this month anyway, God is gracious, he will not get angry. Now, yes, God is gracious, God is love, all of that, but it's important to honor God with our first fruits, right? Now, many of them have asked me, what about times when we do these small part-time jobs or somebody is teaching music and you get a certain amount of money from this, maybe a student is teaching music and he gets a certain amount of money, should I take out of that? What I would say is it will be good to do it, right? Why? It becomes a habit, right? So when you give to God, even if you're making, for example, you're getting a small amount of money, maybe this 5000 rupees, giving one-tenth of it, even when you're a student, it's very good because you're inculcating a habit or some of you may be getting pocket money from your parents, right? You get a certain amount each month. You can put away, put aside.  Now, that is not a compulsion, right? Especially when you know that you're just a student, your parents are sending money to you, but if you'd like, you can do it. It's just a way to honor God and when we do it, it's not like we're doing God of labor, but what you're doing is you're opening up your life for heaven to just pour out blessings upon you. So these are things that you can consider. Now, on the flip side, never feel that, okay, if I don't give, then God is going to be upset with me.  Now, there will be times, for example, we just cannot give this huge financial burden. That's all right. But see other ways how you can cover up for that, right? Maybe the following month or the next month. But it should come from the heart, even as we give. Be generous, give to help others in need. He has said it, give unto others. And Proverbs 11, 24, 25, the world of the generous gets larger and larger. The world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller. The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed. Those who help others are helped, right? So, what we'd like to say is whenever you get an opportunity, be generous to others, right? We work, we earn, but not everything is money. Money does not control us. We control it and put it to use. We do not put our trust in money, but God empowers us to make money. And God has taught us that even when we make money, we are to be generous to others. So, it could be somebody in your workplace who may be going through a difficult time. Now, don't look at that person and say, hey, but we both are earning the same salary. We both are in the same company. So, he has commitments, even I have commitments. Yes, but we never know what he's going through. Maybe he has a child who is in the hospital and has continual bills to pay, right? So, whenever possible, be generous, be kind, share without really expecting that, right? So, giving others will really, it's a very fulfilling thing. Now, once you start giving, once we start giving, nothing will stop us, right? So, it could be ministries and villages, maybe small pastors that you know who are in villages or who are just doing some small meager ministry, even a small amount. I was the other day, I was just thinking about this. In the cities that we live in, when we go out as a family or just going out to have a lunch, we spend about 1000 rupees just for a lunch, right?  Just 1000 rupees, it helps them in their food for the house, maybe for the vegetables, just groceries, small things. It's also going to be a big deal. But for us in the city, 1000 rupees is nothing, it's just maybe, you know, a lunch. So, things have changed, right? And it gives us an opportunity to really step out to bless others. Now, I understand all of us are students, some of you may be working, but if you're students, don't worry about it, right? It's your season, you know, don't panic and say, hey, I'm not able to bless anyone. That's alright, but there will come a time when you can bless others and help others do it, right? Give to the poor widows and orphans. Proverbs 22, 9, he who has a generous eye will be blessed for he who gives of his bread to the poor. Proverbs 28, 27, he who gives to the poor will not lack, but he who hides his eyes will have many curses. Now, God has instructed us to give to the poor, right? The widows, the orphans. Now, when we say give to the poor, it's not only money, it could be anything else. It could be, especially we do this during Christmas clothes. We have these sales that happen where we can, you know, just buy these used clothes that, you know, give to the poor, give to orphans, bed sheets and blankets and socks. And it's usually, you know, December is a cold season, got many homeless people on the streets, children without slippers or all these things. So these are small things that we can do, right? Look for opportunities and do it. And when we do it, you know, it really will fulfill us and God will really bless us. It's not like we do it and then we say, okay, God, where's my blessing? I'm waiting for it. No. We do it with the heart of saying, God, I want to bless others. And God knows how to bless us through what we do, right? Support others, orphans, widows. And it's wonderful to see that the Lord has raised up many ministries that focus on supporting, you know, maybe children, supporting orphans and widows. But we can also do our part wherever possible. Addressing poverty, standing up against injustice and other causes. Proverbs 19-17, he who has pity on the poor lends to the Lord and he will pay back what he has given. Proverbs 13-23, much food is in the fallow ground of the poor. And for lack of justice, there is waste. So in addition to helping the poor, remember that the poor are many times exploited as industrious. There is social evils, child labour, prostitution, bonded labour, slavery, child trafficking, all these kinds of things that are happening around us. Now, some of the things that I've read a couple of months ago, it's really disturbing. And this happened in our nation. I'm not sure about the other nations. But in India, we've heard of a lot of cases where small babies are being sold. They are probably, you know, they're being stolen from places, in public places, they've been stolen. They just, you know, there are people who come, they just pluck the baby from the mother's child and run away in the pipe and they sell these babies. We look at all these things and we say, God, how can this happen? And these are things that are happening in broad daylight. Well, thankfully, you know, we do have a good, you know, system where many of them have been caught by the police. But what we're trying to say is there's a lot of injustice happening. There's a lot of other causes that we can stand for, right? There are natural disasters, epidemics. You know, when the pandemic came, it gave us an opportunity to bless people. Many of them lost their jobs. Many of them, you know, were going through a very difficult time. And if it was in our, if it's our ability, in our hands, we must bless, right? It's very important to be there and stand up for these times. You know, even now what we're seeing is recession. People are losing their jobs. Many of them have lost their jobs. And we're going to help them, you know, every month with a certain finance. But whenever we can, we help them financially. But we can also do other things, you know, just connect them to maybe a company that is, you know, or people that you know who are working in companies, hey, this is a person that, you know, doesn't have a job. Can we help them? These are small things. And again, these, when we do these things, it's just helping them. God blesses us. Finally, we all, we are all responsible for creation here, right? Psalms 115 and verse 16, the heaven, the heavens are the laws, but the earth, he has given to the children of men, right? Adam's responsibility was what he was both to cultivate the garden and to guard it, right? So he had to look after it. But he, God also said that with the primary focus of obeying God, of looking at God, loving God, and the same way, God has also called us to cultivate, to grow, you know, after the fall, there was a curse on the ground. But, you know, in the divine exchange, now God has blessed us, right? Yes, there's hard work. There's, there's, we have to toil, we have to work hard. We have to use the wisdom of God. But even as we do all of this, right, we put our hands to the plow. Our focus must be the Lord Jesus. Our focus must be loving people. Our focus must be, hey, how can I, you know, build God's kingdom? You know, how can I, you know, reach out to people and engage in meaningful, engage meaningfully in protecting, conserving and preserving our earth's resources? It is our responsibility. It's our responsibility. We must protect our, you know, our city, our nation. We must, now, many times, you know, we eat something and we just, maybe throw the wrapper away, just anywhere we'd like. Now, we may think, hey, it's not going to make a big difference. But we can start small, right? If you do, maybe 10 others will see it and they will learn. And then you'll be teaching the next generation how to, you know, preserve the place that we are living in. Because it is God who has placed us here and it is God who has given us the responsibility to look after what is in our hands. And so that's a little bit about stewardship. Let's get into career growth, right? Now, this is a very interesting talk, right? Career growth. I'm sure that, you know, as youth, you may have thought of your careers or you're still thinking about it. And it's very important to think about your career because you must have a vision. You must have something that you can hold on to and look to and to, you know, to accomplish. Now, in today's world, professional growth takes place not only laterally, meaning not only up to the ladder, but it's also, you know, vertically. So growth happens in different ways. New startups, new teams, right? New, maybe, you know, ventures in the same company, right? Now, career growth is dependent on career development. If you're continually growing in your grace, your gifts, your skills, increasing your experience, your knowledge, your expertise, you're going on increasing, going on learning, career growth will happen. But if we keep saying, no, this is who I am, this is what I can do, this is what I will end up doing, then we may not see a growth in our career, right? Now, we'll talk about the person, the place and the purpose that God has for our lives. Remember, we talked about it in, I think it was chapter one or chapter two about Abraham and how Abraham called him as the person, took him to a place and he showed him the purpose that he had for his life. So in career growth, there are various stages we have to move into, right? He may take you from one stage to another and each stage maybe two, three years, maybe five years, maybe many more years, right? Maybe 10 years as well, or certain stages, maybe one year, right? So we must be willing to go through those various stages of transitions and at the right time make the right transitions and make wise transitions even when we do that, right? So let's look at career and career growth. Now, when I say career, you can also translate it to ministry, right? So for example, you're right now in the church, but you want to grow, right? You want to see yourself growing, right? It's just that you're not looking at it as a career or a way of getting more income, but you're looking at it as a way of saying, God, I want to do more. I want to reach out more. I want to improve in my skills, my knowledge, my expertise, my grace, my gifts. I want to grow in it, right? And there's nothing wrong with that. It's nothing wrong to desire to be, to do big things in the kingdom of God, right? So let's look at these few points. First one, even as I go on, feel free to stop me. You can type in your questions. You can also unmute, ask your questions, right? Right. You can enjoy the rewards of your work. Oh, Psalms 128, 1-4. Happy are those who obey the Lord, who live in by His commands. Your work will provide for your needs. You will be happy and prosperous.  Your children will be like young olive trees around your table. A man who obeys the Lord will surely be blessed like these. Now this is a wonderful scripture. It is a promising verse of enjoying the rewards of your labor, right? Labor is very difficult, right? When we look at labor, it's so much to get done. So much to do. It's hard work. You need to stretch yourself. If it's a desk job, you need to stretch your mind. You've got to come up with strategies, new ideas. But it's always so fruitful to see the fruit of your hard work. It is such a happy... There is no other joy than to enjoy the rewards of your work. There's no other joy. Every time we meet with some of our old Bible college students, we try to figure out which batch you were. I was in this batch, and then we asked them, hey, what are you doing now? Say, I'm doing ministry in this place. Oh, I feel so happy. There's such a joy in your heart. That joy of the person that we taught here in ministry, they're doing something in the Lord. They're building God's kingdom. There is no other joy than that, right? Now, believe God's word and look to Him to bring this in your life. Meaning, in order to see the rewards of your work, it requires us to work hard. Work hard. You see the rewards. You may need to develop your skills, develop your knowledge, your expertise, and carry your growth is exciting. It is really exciting. And then we... Look at Joseph. Wonderful example. Joseph is there in the prison. Now, his growth was from prison directly. He became a deputy CEO, if it was a corporate sector. You got a CEO, you got a board of directors from nowhere he came in. But he had to go through seasons. And he had to go through a period of hard working. Not only physically, but also in the spiritual here, he had to stay away from evil. He had to stay away from what the things that Egypt was offering for him. But he also grew. He prayed to God. He said, God, now we don't have an account when he was a young boy that he could interpret dreams. There was no account of that. But I'm sure he knew that, hey, I keep getting these dreams. So God helped me teach me how to understand. Maybe he prayed that way. Maybe he kept praying, saying, God, help me to grow. Help me to learn to speak well. And when he went to the king and he spoke, the king was pleased. He was not stammering and stuttering. He was not fearful, but he was very bold and he very clearly interpreted the dream. God revealed it to him, but there was wisdom. There was a way that he got revealed the dream. God gave him the wisdom to come up with a solution to the dream. Promotion comes from the Lord. That comes to our next point. Sounds 75, 6 through 7. For exaltation comes neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the south, but God is the judge. He puts down one and exalts another. Promotion comes from the Lord. When you and I are good stewards, when we work, when we do what God has called us to do, in an honorable way, we do it sincerely, diligently. Promotion comes to the Lord. And I can give hundreds of examples of how, you know, there were times I just wanted to say, hey, what is this? Only I'm doing it. Nobody else is doing anything. But I just did it because I knew I said, God, I'm doing it for you. It's okay. Doesn't matter what others think of it, but I will do it because you have called me to do this. It is God who makes a way for promotion and growth. So continue to walk humbly before God, yield to his purposes, continue to grow professionally, continue to develop your skills, and he will make sure your promotion happens. Now, it could take time. Now, we must remember the corporate ladder is a lot of competition. It's a lot of competition. Maybe people are very skilled, but you have an edge. You and I have an edge. What is that edge? You and I have the living God, the Holy Spirit to teach us, to guide us, to instruct us on how to get things done. We have the wisdom of God, the wisdom of the world, the wisdom of God to come up with the right solutions. So, you know, depend on that. Depend on the Holy Spirit. You will see promotion coming. Excellence will be rewarded. Do you see Proverbs 22, 29? Do you see a man who excels in his work? He will stand before kings. He will not stand before unknown men. Excellence simply means doing a job in an exceptional way. Perfect. So, it's like there's nothing wrong. Everything has been done right. So, for example, you're sending an email to your boss. The email should portray excellence. One, sentence construction. Two, the words that are being used. Three, grammatical errors should not be there. I'm trying to communicate what you want to communicate in that email in a clear and a concise manner. Because sometimes we can keep writing emails which are what you can communicate in three lines. We end up using eight lines and the reader is like, oh, what is he trying to say in this email? So, it's very important that we be excellent in what we do. What about ministry? What about our worship? What about times of preaching the word of God? Let it be excellent. What about times of the corporate sector, you're in a team meeting and you have to facilitate this team meeting. Do it in excellence. Don't say, okay, yes, God is with me and I'll go and God will lead me. No, you need to prepare. You need to prepare. It's like saying, hey, on a Sunday I'll go and I'll stand there on the pulpit and I'll ask the Lord to minister to me and then I'll give my sermon. It doesn't work. Prepare the sermon. We rely on the Holy Spirit and so excellence will be rewarded. It may not be immediately. If it's immediate, it's wonderful. But if you have to wait for it, there is sweetness. When you wait for something and over time, people appreciate you for the work that is done. There is sweetness. It just encourages you. It just helps us to say, hey, God, I thank you that my work was recognized. I'm going to press on to do better in what I'm doing. Next one. Wisdom opens doors. Problems dwell in it. A man will be commended according to his wisdom but he who is of a perverse heart will be despised. Now we know the difference. There's knowledge, there's wisdom. We're requiring information and growing ourselves. Wisdom is basically the appropriate use of that knowledge. While the ability to use our competencies to solve problems, determine solutions, envision, to look ahead, determine the course of action to take, all of this requires wisdom. Now, wisdom is attained. It is something that we can grow in. Just like faith. Faith, we grow in our faith. Wisdom, again, we grow in wisdom. Remember the Lord Jesus? I think in the book of Matthew it says, he grew in wisdom. It's not like he was born and then when he was three years old, he had all the wisdom. No. The Lord Jesus grew in wisdom. How did he grow in wisdom? He spent time in God's Word. He spent time with the Holy Spirit. He was always in communication with God and this kind of wisdom will bring honor and open doors to you. Why was Jesus, you know, in some places, why was he so honored? Why did thousands follow him? Yes, it was miracles, but also the wisdom that he spoke with. The Pharisees only are saying, hey, who's this guy? Isn't he the carpenter's son? From where did he get such a kind of wisdom to speak this way? And then, you know, the Roman centurion would come, Gentiles would come to him. Why? It opened doors for him. The wisdom of God. Should we give to God or should we give to Caesar? Whose face do you see? Caesar's. Then give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar. Give to God what belongs to God. Give to God's wisdom. So he's not saying don't give tax and he's not saying give tax. He's saying give what belongs to Caesar or the taxes will be given. But give what also belongs to God. So there was such a wisdom in that. Now, these doors, these opportunities, because of the wisdom that the Lord Jesus walked him, the door of the ministry opened to Gentiles as well. You see it, right? The Romans, there was Cornelius, of course, later on Cornelius and all that, right? You and I, when we walk in wisdom, it opens doors for us. Now, before you make a decision, right, before you make, and if it's a very important decision, take time and make a decision, right? Because you need to be wise in the decisions that we make. Develop the ability of, you know, working on something. If you're working on something, develop the ability to, you know, wisely make the decision in whatever we are doing. Develop the ability not only of gaining knowledge and understanding and skill, but also being able to bring it together, solve, create, envision and innovate. Now, let's look at it in the ministry side. Think about this. We read the Bible, we meditate on it, and we keep praying every day. That's wonderful, God is teaching us. But what about when, what if a time comes, you know, somebody comes to you and says, you know, brother, master, this is what's happening in my home, you know, me and my wife are always fighting, there's always tensions, and now we want a divorce. So what do you think we must do? Now imagine, we know everything about the word, and we don't give the right solution. We say something which doesn't make sense, or it doesn't, you know, solve the problem. There's no use, there's no word of wisdom there. The person hearing will say, okay, and probably look for somebody else to help them. We need the word of wisdom. We need the wisdom of God to, especially when it comes to counseling when people, there will be, you know, families or parents will come up to me, come up and say, you know, this is what is happening. You know, yesterday at church, this couple came up to me and said, they were crying. They said, I lost my son. He committed suicide.  There was absolutely no sign of any, you know, depression, any sadness. I don't know why this happened. We are a loving family. We have four of us. He has no bad habits, no bad friends. Very good guy. Didn't go out partying. Didn't do anything wrong. Average student as well. I don't know what it is. What do I do? My wife is hurt and broken. There's no words that could console her. I don't know. I feel that I'm not a good parent. What can we tell them during these times? We can't say, oh, I understand. We don't understand. Because the pain is too much to bear. We cannot understand it unless we have gone through it. But we need a word of wisdom. Of course, we empathize with them, but we need that word of wisdom. What can I say in this situation that can bring comfort to this couple? Wisdom opens doors. Proverbs 4-8, I love this verse. Love wisdom and she will make you great.  Love wisdom. Wisdom will make you great. Being wise on what to do. Next one. A sincere heart and gracious lips. We'll get you noticed. Even in the previous chapters. Being sincere, being gracious in our words. Definitely the right attitude, gentleness, sincerity, kindness will get us noticed. It will give us access to people. People of authority. Don't neglect walking in the fruit of the spirit. Many times we may have these highly anointed people, but they are just not sincere probably, or they're not gracious. Their words is ridicule, mock people, talk bad of others. What happens? We're good in one area, but then the other side we're saying, we're not walking in the fruit of the spirit. So remember, it gets you noticed. Sincere heart and gracious lips. The more you are given, the more you have to deliver. So true. The more the responsibilities, the more we have to deliver. The more God gives us opportunities, the more we have to deliver. The greater powers comes, greater responsibilities. Greater the role, greater the position, greater the responsibility. The higher you go, the easier things are going to be. You can just delegate, but no, the higher you go, the greater the responsibility, the higher the role, the skills are required, the competencies are required, and we need to develop ourselves.  Things will change. All of a sudden you're going and sitting with corporate heads, head of departments in the company. You can't go there as an assistant manager or a manager, you can't go there in these corporate meetings and we can't act silly, we can't just say things arbitrarily, we need to behave wisely. So the higher you go, higher the position, higher the responsibility. The workload may become more, but take it up. It's wonderful. If you want to grow, but you don't want to do anything about it, and you just want to grow in the ladder, but you don't want to work for it, then that's just wishful thinking. Yeah, I want to become a CEO. It's wonderful. You've got to work for it. No, I just want to become a CEO. That's wishful thinking. If we're not willing to do what it takes to build ourselves, build our capacities, build our competencies, then we're not going to get to the next level. So we need to do our part. Prepare, learn, grow, get ready to go. So the higher you go, there's more visibility and there is more opportunities and there's more responsibilities. Remember, the higher you go, you'll also be impacting many more people under you. The stakes get higher, the higher up you go. The responsibilities are greater. The price you pay is greater. So the higher up you go, the stakes are higher. The decisions you make is going to impact many more people. Yes, Divya, you've put a worse term. Mark 4, Mark 4, Mark 4, 25. Okay, consider. Yeah, I just wanted to have a clarity on this verse. I know it's a different context altogether. I think it's talking, Jesus is trying to tell the disciples why parables, like the purpose of parables. So it comes after the parable of the sower in Mark 4. So in this, when Jesus says, with the measure you use, it will be measured to you and even more. Then he goes on, whoever has will be given more. Whoever does not have even what they have will be taken from them. I tried to think about this, but I didn't understand actually. Yeah. Yeah, so again, as you mentioned, this is from the parable of the sower. And here, what Jesus is trying to bring that is, see, whoever has been given more, whoever does, sorry, with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Basically talking about stewardship. So the more I have, the more the responsibility. So the parable of the sower was that. The more I have, the more I have to do well. Now, what if I have more and I don't do anything about it? The verse here says, whatever they have also will be taken away.  And now you haven't done well as a manager. It's been two years. So now I'll put you back to a lower position. No. So we must understand. And, you know, this is where hermeneutics comes into place, right? Interpreting scriptures in light of the context of the scripture, right? Now, what does the Bible say? The Bible says that, you know, God wants to bless us, right?  His plans are to prosper, right? And so that is, that is already something that God has decided, right? But because of our own way of working, right? Now, if I have, if I'm made a manager and I say, okay, I will come at 11 o'clock. I'll just, you know, just look at some, you know, documents to see what I can do. Just while away time and then finish and go back home. Okay, I've done my work.  But now, you know, because of your work before God has lifted you up, now you're in this position. You have to work as much as you have because of the position. You have to do all the responsibilities of that position. When we don't do it, we are opening ourselves up for failure. It is not God who's saying, no, I will not give you. I'm going to take it away and give this manager a job to somebody else because you're not doing it. No, it is our responsibility. It's our fault. Right? So if I, if I decide, okay, I'll just take 10 days leave, not do any work, don't work hard for the role that God has given me. Of I say, oh, I only wanted to be a manager. So now God, you've made me a manager. Thank you.  Now, I can't blame God for that. It is my fault. So, we shouldn't be surprised if our, you know, the, maybe the head of department comes and says, hey, you know, you've been a manager for a year, but we've decided that we're going to request you to step down and we request you to, you know, go back to what you were doing before and they are hiring a new manager and this is what he or she will do. Now, I should not be surprised and I should not blame God. God, you made me manager and now you took it away from me. God is saying, no, I made you a manager because you were faithful before that.  Now, because of that, you have opened the door. I'm ready to bless, but I didn't see any hard work. What can I bless? If I don't see any work, if I don't see any sincerity, any diligence, any competency and anything that you're doing, if I don't see, how will I bless it? So you open the door to the enemy, curses, not curse, but you've allowed the enemy to, you know, get into your head. If not work, now this is what is happening. So, to get to, to bring a context, yes, what will be taken, whatever they have will also be taken only in context to this, right? I hope this example helps you. It is not that God is taking away, but we have a loved God, we have a loved the enemy, our own mistakes, our own things. Open the door and obviously somebody better is going to get in. Now that person can be, if you look at a corporate sector, that person can be a person from another faith also. But he's working hard. So he'll come. Then we sometimes question, hey, God, I'm a believer, I believe in you. And then this unbeliever you've put as a manager and you've put me down. How can the name of Christians be, you know, the name of Christianity has been affected here. How can an unbeliever come and take my place as a manager? Now it's not the name of Christianity, it is our name. Because I haven't done what I was supposed to do. Now, on the flip side, what if I had done what I was supposed to do, like work hard. God, thank you for the manager's role. I'm going to do my best. I'm going to work hard. I'm going to look up for the next role, next position that you have for me. So help me to work with diligently, be a good steward. Help me to improve. Even as I grow, my grace, my gifts, help me to do well. And then I keep working hard.  So it's not like God is taking away. When we open our lives to the enemy, how we open, we don't do what is right in the sight of God. The enemy comes in and snatches away what is already there. Divya, I hope that... Yes, yes. Just like it's a natural consequence. Yes. Okay. Thank you. Most welcome. We'll stop here. We have a little more on this chapter, but we'll stop here. We'll continue on Wednesday. Thank you so much, everyone. Have a great week ahead. I'll see you on Wednesday. God bless.

I can still pull some heat out of this. It seems like I Would assume pack gods are the same I didn't say anything about it on the checklist, but I would assume it's the same. It looked just like hobby packs Hmm triumvirates of Mike trout for the angels to start. What is that? That looks new I'll just backwards.  So the inserts of stuff are backwards in this one Bradley Green Inserts and foils. I might like this more if the SP's are backwards to That is a rodin black and white for the Yankees definitely helpful Don black and white for the Yankees.

I guess rather than that is about the same It's half the amount of packs I'm guessing the odds are the same because we've hit some number here and there So it feels it feels like we're up in the same product basically just have yeah Triumvirates, there's no different parallels. So it really feels like it's literally the compact. Yeah, it's awesome That's why it's called hobby compact. I just like compact or like light or something. We're a Jacques Peterson on the black foil for the Giants if they keep coming out with more compacts for all their products those stuff that'll be the Quickest stuff to go. I think so too Me I'd still get a hobby just because I would want more of it. I think I would just like to do more of it But yeah, it's it's the same thing Got a deck in that sweet black-and-white for the Yankees Nothing else that I've noticed so far Moe on the chrome 40 Yanks Ronald the Cuny our red foil.

My name is Eric Hendricks. I work on rendering. Talk a little bit about how rendering works and some of the challenges that we run into trying to render everything that goes into the Google Search Index. So before we get started, I'll talk a little bit about what rendering is just so that we're all on the same page. So rendering is the process that allows Googlebot to see the same content that we do as normal users on the web. It's been a long time since web content was a blob of HTML that referenced a few images. Your browser does a lot of JavaScript and additional fetching these days to actually load the content that you see in the end. Here's a visual example of what that means. On the left, we have YouTube without rendering. We've rendered it a little bit just to do a layout and get something that we can paint. And then on the right, we've actually run all the JavaScript and additional fetching and gotten all the content. So Googlebot needs to do this as well in order to see the same content that you do, which basically means it needs to behave like a browser. That's a tall order, because browsers are complicated. They do a lot. They're fairly expensive to run. Good news is that we actually have a good browser available to us. So Googlebot actually renders with Chrome these days. That's been true since about the beginning of this year. What that really means is that when we crawl your page with Googlebot, we go fetch the content. We give it to Googlebot. And then Googlebot does what Googlebot, sorry, we give it to Chrome. And then Chrome does what Chrome does, right? So it runs all the script. It loads additional content. Googlebot goes and fetches that content on behalf of Chrome. And then once everything's loaded, we take a snapshot of the page, and that's the content that actually gets indexed into the web. So great. This works wonderfully. It gets interesting at scale, though. So we have trillions of pages in the web index, and we want to do this to all of them. So things get interesting. They get interesting along two axes mostly. And the first one is fetching. So if we want to render a page, we need to fetch a lot of additional content that's going to become visible on the page in the end. And then we have to run the JavaScript that actually does that. So that's a lot more logic than we ran before. So I'm going to start with fetching, because it's probably the more difficult problem from our point of view. It's harder for us to solve within Google. And that breaks down into basically two things that we see. And this is all us trying to be good citizens on the web. So we don't want to fetch content that you don't want us to fetch, and we also want to make sure that our crawl volume is reasonable enough so that we don't cause problems for servers. So robots.txt is how you tell us not to grab something, but this cuts both ways. If you want some content to appear on your page, don't block it with robots.txt, because we won't fetch it. And then there's just limited crawl volume. So we don't want to overload your server, so we limit how much we're willing to fetch from any server. So that's really the big problem. And here's a few numbers to put that in perspective. So when we render a page, we see about 50 or 60 fetches. This number is a little lower than what normal users usually see, because we're obeying robots.txt. So that actually protects us from some crawling, things like ad networks and so on. Don't like robots, and that's fine with us, because that's less fetching we have to do.  So if you do the math here and multiply it out, you end up with about 20 fetches or so per page. Or another way to look at that is my crawl volume is going to go up by 20 times when I start rendering. So that's a problem. That's not going to fly. This is the point where I say, hey, I want to render your page, and the crawl folks tell me get out. So we have to do something to reduce this number. This can't stay the way it is. So we cut some corners. And the big one that we cut is around HTTP caching. Lots and lots of webmasters err on the side of marking their content not cacheable. And frankly, it's too many for us to really obey those rules. So we will overcache. We cache anything and everything for long periods of time. The best way to cope with this as a webmaster is really just to not rely on clever caching tricks. Try and make your content cacheable. It's good for end users. It's good for Googlebot. Even when we do that, though, we still have a very large fetch volume. And the R case is when we can't fetch everything. So this happens frequently when there's a lot of fan-in onto a single domain. So you can think of a comment section that's from a common server. It gets a lot of fan-in from lots of sites, harder for us to load. So the way to deal with fetch volume issues is really two things. Reduce the number of fetches. This has been good practice forever. So it's also good. And then mostly, be resilient. So you want to be able to show as much content as you can given the set of fetches that succeeds. Because when a fetch fails, it basically just looks like a fetch failure in a normal browser inside Googlebot. OK, great. So pivoting a little bit. I'm going to talk a little bit about the other half of the puzzle here is JavaScript. So the good news is, as I mentioned earlier, we are running Chrome, which means that the JavaScript environment is more or less what you'd expect. There's not really a whole lot to say about it. The bad news is that there is a whole lot of JavaScript out there. And we are aiming to run a whole lot of it. So performance matters. We are constrained with CPU globally. So we need to make sure that errant pages will not damage the system by consuming too much. If you have a page that runs lots and lots of JavaScript for a long time, we will eventually interrupt it. This is a different behavior than normal browsers have. In extreme cases, we've actually seen this render page as unindexable, or I should say unrenderable. Because the CPU consumption is such that we just can't get anything to load reasonably. And most pages don't have any problem with this. So any decently constructed page is not going to run into the thresholds that we have. But there are some cases where good pages run a foul of this. And so I'm going to talk about some of the common failure scenarios that we have. So popular ways to fail. Error loops are one. So in this case, I'm talking about JavaScript that fails at something. And then it wants to retry. And it does so immediately. And then it fails again. So why might something fail? Like robots.txt. It tries to fetch something that's blocked by robots.txt. It immediately turns around and tries to fetch it again. And spins.  Missing features are another way to do this. So you can try and use a feature that doesn't exist on Googlebot. For example, you can't use WebRTC. It's sort of an interesting networking feature. We just don't support that. So if you fail on that and spin, that's bad. Another one is cloaking. So cloaking refers to the process, or sorry, the practice of serving different content specifically to Googlebot. Some major websites do this. I think this content doesn't receive the same level of scrutiny, because we've seen egregiously broken JavaScript coming from major domains at times. And again, it causes problems. This last bullet, cryptocurrency miners, we don't actually see this a lot. But it kind of made us laugh, because we had a bunch of pages that embedded these scripts. They are tremendously heavy. And they actually exploded the entire renderer every time and prevented indexing. And that's what I got. Thanks.


We can see that this particular usage of the unfinished past can be used for both the present perfect and the present perfect continuous. Where we've got action verbs, we usually prefer to use the present perfect continuous. However, there are state verbs which don't usually go into the continuous form such as no. We would say I have known her for 10 years, not I have been knowing her for 10 years. So when we have these state verbs such as no, be, seem and appear, we would usually put these in the present perfect. But with the action verbs such as play, cook, work, we will use these in the present perfect continuous normally. We also use the present perfect continuous fairly frequently with words such as just or recently. To express a recently completed action with the present result. For example, I am tired because I have been playing football.
