through our lives Father even in today's class we pray for clarity we pray that Lord we will come up higher Lord in our believing and Lord that surely Lord Your power will be seen in our lives in Jesus name we pray amen okay so in the last class we skipped God's presence and glory which we will take up today we had touched upon proclamation and action so today we will do God's presence and glory and if possible touch on persistence if not we could touch on persistence and the remaining portions which is which has got to do with some of the preparation later on I think we should be able to cover it in the upcoming two classes if not one additional recorded lecture would do okay so that's the plan but the assignment I'll post it anyhow this we can I'll anyhow post it so you can start doing your assignment if you want to submit it also you can submit it so it'll only cover what I'm going to teach till today so it will not hinder your assignment in any way okay great so that is what we are going to do yes yes only two from my side so hopefully that's easy fine now coming to God's presence and glory we talked about anointing the difference between the anointing and the presence both have to do with the presence of God and with the presence of His power and yet in our just for our understanding we will look at anointing as the presence of God upon somebody's life or an individual's lives but the presence has something that that manifests in a group setting did you get it or in general we say that God's presence is with us low I'm with you always even to the ends of the earth so God's presence is there with us God's presence where two or three are gathered in my name you know there will I be in the midst of them so God's presence is among us but when we talk about anointing anointing is the presence and power of the Holy Spirit upon the life of a person to do the work of God okay so that is the distinction that is bit is there between the word anointing and presence okay so presence means the presence of God in our midst now when we talk about the presence of God the supernatural can manifest even in the presence of God okay however one thing we must recognize is presence of God the intensity of the presence of God can vary now we might say that God is all around us okay he feels all in all that is true even an unbeliever whether they acknowledge it or not God's presence is there okay but just because God's presence is there it doesn't mean that they're experiencing the presence of God the way we are experiencing it so the intensity varies God is present everywhere but where two or three are gathered in my name that means by faith there are a few people gathered presence of God is there but we could say that a greater presence of God is there okay now when we are worshipping or we are you know praying we might say that the presence we are experiencing is way greater than what we experience just when two of us got together and made a short prayer so the point is presence varies the intensity of the presence of God varies it's almost like we could say temperature there is some temperature that we are aware of but temperature varies isn't it it can be warm it can be hot it can be very hot so when we talk about the supernatural and the manifestation of the supernatural and the presence of God what we really want is increased presence and when there is an increased presence of God many things can take place right the power of God can manifest so that's what we are looking at and the Bible does talk about you know God doing great things in his presence like Psalm 132 is a passage where we read that where God is okay or the place where God is obviously that is nothing but the presence of God God will do certain works so Psalm 132 verses 12 to 14 you know their God presents a picture I will you know I will meet their needs I will give them victory I will grant salvation in that place I will so there are all these promises so where God's presence is there you'll have all these answers got it so then what should be our intention that as a church or let me say like when we meet for prayer when we meet for worship either in the Sunday service or in our life groups or in our small gatherings God's presence must be there only then as he has promised I will provide you know I will meet your needs I will give you the victory all that will happen when God's presence is strong and thick so our intention should be to go after the greater presence of God okay so we start to desire more of the manifestation of the presence of God because in that presence miracles will take place okay so but this is something that we as believers must become conscious about we as believers must become sensitive about otherwise we may become very activity oriented you know we finished our prayers we finished our prayer we finished our meeting and that's about it but how is the presence of God when we meet when we gather together is it increasing you know it can be sense his presence here if not what can we do to have more of his presence okay the these are things again it's similar to anointing even when we were talking about anointing we said we need to be sensitive we need to see where the spirit is flowing so in the same way becoming sensitive to the presence of God you know how thick is it I'm just using the word thick to kind of give us that same understanding of the increased presence or in the Bible we read them about the manifestation of God's presence in many ways like the children of Israel no they had a pillar of fire before them in the night that was the presence of God okay but it manifest as fire so when the presence of God is as a fire in front of them what does it mean it means protection it means direction so that also the way it manifests also means something as fire or the presence of God as a cloud during the daytime you know leading the people what does it mean again it means protection over their lives okay or a rushing mighty wind the spirit came rushing mighty wind so there are all these different manifestations of the presence of God what does a rushing mighty wind means like he's coming to do a work isn't it so that way so we have to really be sensitive to what kind of manifestation is this so in the Bible there are many things like you know I will pour out my spirit pour out my spirit something like water rain so we may experience in the spirit something like a rain okay now that might mean something when we are sensitive okay I sense the presence of God like a rain what rain is it it could be the rain of a spirit where we are all flowing in the gifts of the spirit or it could be like a rain of a spirit that's bringing healing you know so the point is the key here is when we become sensitive to the presence you know how thick is the presence what is it manifesting as then again it's easier to manifest the supernatural got it because we are going along with the way the presence is so let's say we are ministering and you just feel like a compassionate presence of God in our midst maybe God wants to heal people's hearts then you flow with that and you begin to call out words of knowledge about you know God is healing emotional healing this and that and people are mightily touched there's an in an encounter they get an encounter with God okay so what is the key for the minister here sense the presence know the presence okay move with the presence first of all presence has got to be there so we need to know how to have the presence of God so how to have the presence of God obviously where there is you know sin and unrighteousness God's presence won't be there so we have to establish that establish sin sorry righteousness look at me okay righteousness too fast talking so righteousness and get rid of sin and apart from that we can look at passages about praise and worship because we see that God is enthroned in the praises of his people so when we praise God his presence will come establishes word right the understanding of his word then there is an expectation in the hearts of people and the presence of God begins to increase in that setting because when people's hearts are expecting him to work then he can come more powerfully more faith is there in that place so these are all the matters we can look into and ensure that God's presence is increasing in our midst okay and even manifestation of the gifts of the spirit also kind of you know it's like those sparks of the presence of God so the more we flow in the manifestation of the gifts of the spirit you can expect the presence to increase okay so these are all things we can look into and ensure that God's presence is there in a way of rushing wind but I feel the presence in the form of fire it will happen like that like is it okay okay and the other thing is when when I saw two two people are leading worship two worship leaders are there so one worship leader got one one word or one kind of revelation from God he was he was leading and then in between the other person got different one and is there any possibility that that the two ways I mean who are leading they're not matched what they are doing he is feeling the different thing the second person is different so is it possible or what yeah so when generally it's different it may be more of a personal work of God it may not be meant for the congregation or the group that you're ministering to so for example we are all worshiping and we sense the presence of God you sense it like a rushing mighty wind and I sense it like a fire God is doing something in your life he's doing something else in my life okay that might be more at an individual level but when it comes to ministering together to the people there will be some point of connect or you know some common point otherwise how will you minister to the people God is God might be doing the same God will be doing something you know like how do I put it it won't contradict himself like you won't put something on your heart and something opposite and another person's heart in such a way that you're not able to lead but you need to know how to flow in sync you know it's like music you want to play a different note and another person wants to play another note it may just be that you must go first and they must come later or it might just be that you know you need to have a harmony so how is it that you're going to balance each other you have to work it out between the two of you but definitely God's spirit will not it's the same spirit how can he contradict himself could be yeah could be or it's just like in team ministry you know learning to flow together is also one thing it's not that they're telling their own thoughts but maybe they're not flowing properly both are coming express correct so if they're both doing it at the same time it may sound contradictory but maybe the first person must go first and finish their thing settle down and then the next person should come something like that yeah yeah so team ministry right so it's like that so we must sense the presence of God and the pictures of the presence of God there's a book called as the presence of God APC publication so I encourage us to read it there's also the practice of the presence you know the way we said how can the anointing increase upon our lives the presence can increase the experience of God's presence for each of us can increase or in other words the awareness that God is there okay see we can be going about our daily lives just usual but every day the awareness of how close God is how you know powerful he is we can walk in our daily lives with that greater and greater awareness are you getting what I'm saying no so that also we can make it to increase so in that book there is one topic it's called the practice of the presence where one can be in prayer one can be intimate with God and in our day to day lives also we can walk in a greater presence of God okay and we can when when we experience the presence again depending on the kind of presence that we experience we can interpret like what is God doing so we might see sometimes that the presence of God comes to bring reviving we may be tired right spiritually but the presence of God comes brings a refreshing at times the presence of God the way it manifests it may we were saying fire what does fire do fire can also consume the flesh it can consume the chaff so maybe that fiery presence of God is doing a deep work in my life and cleansing me sanctifying me so that is the meaning of of a fiery presence of God at that point or the presence of God might bring some sort of fruitfulness in our lives you know it's like we feel barren we feel dry and the presence of God comes and suddenly you know we are like that wonderful well-watered garden it brings fruitfulness in our lives so these are all the ways in which the presence manifests in order to do something okay in order to bring the change maybe rekindle a passion for God or convict us of some some sin or maybe you know grant a direction grant us some revelation that we are looking for so the the kind of presence that we are experiencing could mean something it's doing something but for that we have to grow in our sensitivity to God so that's what it is okay so as we do this we'll find that in our own lives and even in the lives of others it'll be a blessing people will also get from that presence they'll also receive from that presence okay many times I've heard some sermons where people say like you are you and I are the carriers of the presence wherever you go you can carry the presence of God with you and that's so true it's really true so as we practice the presence where we go we can take it with us I remember once for one one elevate the youth outreaches which you know we used to do we would go to different schools and colleges so one particular college we went there and before the program got started I don't know there was just such a sense of confusion like the students were settling down and it was so chaotic and we generally wherever possible we start with worship so there was this one young man he came at that time he used to coordinate with all the churches different churches so he came from the Nepali church I don't even know him the first time I'm meeting him also he came he took the guitar he started singing the whole atmosphere just changed like like that it changed we were all looking at each other we were like oh my goodness from zero focus to full focus because it's like the the presence just filled the room we could all tell something is so different and even the students were listening they were singing it was easier for us to minister but it all happened when one guy came picked up his guitar and he just started singing nothing very ordinary chap very ordinary I mean he sang well only but it was more than his singing it was just like the presence just entered okay so things like this this is what we are talking about and when the presence comes you see what are we saying we're saying it can bring direction it can bring conviction God can do his work when there is the increased presence of God that's what we want okay even in our church services and all I mean we can do a fancy service with nice lights and proper program minute to minute all that's good because what do we want to do we want to be excellent for God wonderful but ultimately what is the church it's the temple of God and in the temple of God see if it's you know if it is your address you're supposed to be there okay so temple means whose address is it God's address so if we have temple and God's presence is not there what's the use what's the point right so even in our churches that's what we desire when the presence of God dwells you know in the presence lot of things happen people come to church and they they say hey something is different something happened this Sunday morning I don't know what it is but something happened because God's presence is there and so this is a key to manifesting the supernatural the presence we need to go after the presence let it increase more and more okay let it you know sort of manifest and we can be carriers of that presence wherever we go it can even become tangible I don't know if you've ever heard some sometimes people say things like hey you came and spoke to me I'm feeling so much peace I don't know why but I I'm suddenly feeling a lot of peace when you're talking to me maybe they're sensing the presence of God on our lives you got it so carry the presence manifest the presence wherever we go okay and especially in our gatherings we need to ensure that it's more than an activity more than a program now if there are questions you can always ask me but I'm moving on to the next content here which is regarding glory good thing about presence and glory is see when we talked about the other keys like the word of God and you know faith and all we have to increase in the faith we have to spend time to meditate in the word of God we have to preach the word teach the word then the manifestation comes but the beauty about presence and glory is we don't have to do much if he's there some things will happen automatic because he's there and he's already promised when I am there there will be all these things right so it's kind of like that you don't have to do much in the presence and in the glory now what is glory glory is also the presence of God but it is the sort of the most intensified presence of God that's what glory is where God moves sovereignly he's so powerful you can just make out that is the glory okay so the glory is like the most intense manifest presence of God so there are times when you know the temple when they dedicated the temple Solomon's temple over there we read how the glory cloud it came it filled at the worshippers couldn't worship they just fell down okay so presence of God is there but it's become very tangible now so tangible you know like the Shekaina glory it's heavy even physically you can feel it that is glory glory is the intensified manifest presence of God which is even tangible so that is what the glory is and the thing about the glory is in the glory God does whatever he wants okay he's sovereign he can do whatever he wants in the glory so you know again like the presence only if the glory of God is there the intense presence of God is there maybe even an unbeliever comes in they get healed and you're like how did that happen you don't have to do much because the glory is there and God just starts touching people's lives and you know all kinds of miracles happen in the glory of God when we talk about revivals right many a time it's this the glory of God just coming upon people and changing transforming lives and revealing the supernatural so that is what the glory is now the manifestation of the glory the presence of God you know there are there are many ways that people talk about it it can become so tangible that from the physical sense physical sensitivity like we said you can feel like a warmth or you can feel like a heat you know you can feel like a light all in the spirit the presence of God but glory can go to the extent where sometimes you can even physically feel it like you're just feeling the weight on your body or you know like I mean I these are all things I have heard of and only once I've experienced only once like while worshipping almost like a smoke there were no smoke machines no nothing it was like midday but there was smoke when we were worshipping have you like what is going on after the worship we were all we will discuss also did you see that did you you know did you notice that but the manifest presence of God in our midst you know doing a work in our midst that's the glory that we're talking about there can be many other manifestations people talk about you know some manifestations like you might you might see like gold dust I know it's controversial sometimes people don't want to talk about it but anything can happen anything can happen right that's nothing but the glory of God the manifestation of his presence it's beyond what the spirit can sense even physically there are some evidences you know that you see but beyond the evidence of you know something like a cloud or a smoke and all that it's more about how he touches the lives of people and how miracles take place healings take place you know all that so the glory is an expression it's a greater expression of who God is so what is the glory we always say right doxa is who God is what he does it's as if God has put himself on display and he's saying this is who I am you can't fight me that is the glory of God okay and as ministers of God we want that we want to see who God is we want to see his greatness do you remember Moses Moses would be one of those men who saw the supernatural quite a lot in his life it began with the burning bush and then you know the red sea parted and all the miracles in the wilderness but at one point nexus 33 he still cries out to God and he says God show me your glory okay show me your glory and you know glory is something like I think it makes you more thirsty the more you see it the more you want it so again he's saying God there's all I want show me on glory right I want to know you who you are I want that encounter with your person and then we know what happened you know God hid him behind the rock and he passed before him and God said I will make my goodness pass before you Moses so he became hungry for the strong and manifest presence of God because in that presence it's like you know God and his nature is very evident that is what the glory is God and his nature is very evident okay that's why we want the glory because if God is a healer so when God's glory is there what will happen healing will happen right God is a restorer so when God is there and people encountering what will happen their lives will be restored we transform so that is what the glory is the the very expression of God being manifest in a very strong way so presence is something we must desire for but but we should not hesitate to ask for the glory of God where God is very sovereign and powerful in that glory and people have had encounters with the glory of God in different ways for example even apostle Paul on the road to Damascus right it's like so in his face that Paul cannot deny it a mighty light of God it just comes to him in the midday sun he sees the light and a voice from heaven Jesus is speaking to him you know Paul Paul why are you persecuting me he encounters the presence the glory of God and he's shaking he even like couldn't see after that so that is the glory presence we all know we we're all experiencing it but glory is like you know God makes himself very real in that so that is what the glory is yeah go ahead we are talking about the presence and glory yeah so I mean is there a is the is it a next step of presence yeah and then it is okay and then so like presence and all sometimes if you are worshiping together in this class yeah maybe I feel the presence you may not okay it's my individual so when it comes to the glory also I mean it will be experienced to everyone like glory when we are talking about term glory like God can do anything yeah so we prayed and we we went to a certain level of extent that God's glory came down so we'll all experience as a group or else is there any possibility that we can experience individually also yes so see I think when it comes to the glory with my understanding I'll share okay see when Moses went up on the mountain to encounter God even those people who are in the tents they heard the lightning the thunder they were scared so I this is my way of understanding I believe that the glory you know everyone will kind of experience it those who are connected to it you will kind of know that yeah God is doing this or let's say Paul he had the encounter on the road those people they also experienced that yeah they they saw the light and you know they kind of they didn't know what exactly Jesus spoke to Paul but they knew this encounter had happened so there were witnesses to what Paul experienced so glory will be like that whether you like it or not whether you're sensing it or not it's very evident you know who God is to at least that bunch of people but yes response is quite different because the way Moses was experiencing the glory is different from what the people were experiencing Moses is one person who said Lord show me your glory he desired it but what did the children of Israel do they said no no you go and meet Moses we don't want to come like you just tell us what to do we'll be here responses are so different sensitivity is so different but they all experienced it at once which one yeah so that cloud thing Anand so when we were worshipping just like a normal it was a youth retreat so we had gone for a youth retreat and usual you'll have no time slots worship time so it was just a normal worship time and we were worshipping but like you know you are we were feeling like you're being filled if you're a bottle and you're just being filled how do you feel all are feeling the same thing all are feeling the same thing and also that place it had something like a smoke in between all of us it was not a big crowd I think total we must have been only 30 people not more than that naturalize yeah naturalize yeah at a time where there should be no smoke like afternoon why would you expect smoke church in my in my town the pastor lgm church I think so so that pastor when he used to preach in one church he was preaching in the afternoon two o'clock yeah so there is full of congregation he was and he's preaching very mighty and from from outside the all the smoke are coming coming from the church towards it from the windows wow okay there is nothing happening but the smoke is coming from yeah yeah yeah yeah no it's possible because that when you read about Azusa street revival I think you must have done it in revivals no 1905 did you notice there the the building where they used to meet William J Seymour they call the fire engine because there was a fire it had it had caught fire but when the fire engine came and saw it was actually not burning but people saw it on fire okay what is that it's the glory of God the glory of God just filled that place so such manifestations have happened you know we it's not that we are going after manifestation somewhere you know that also happens people go after manifestation they say yeah we have to see this it should be like this it's not about the manifestation see God is very out of the box we are expecting a fire to appear but maybe we sense something else so it's okay whichever way he wants to manifest let him manifest but it's a desire that we have to encounter him his presence his glory right yeah that's yeah yeah yeah we can ask yeah exactly exactly yeah so to say to tell God how exactly to manifest I mean you can desire something but ultimately he knows right like what is the best way to manifest okay yeah please share before like when pastor appointed me that place like to taking care that place so then I started just just started teaching like started learning teaching so so I used to fast 40 days so every year so once what happened I I I fasted there and once so like it it was 23 December 23 December then then I went in room and I started praying so I started praying like when before I don't have this gift tongues okay so when I started praying in tongues so I just started means not intense so then after that I just said God like I also want this tongues because like this pastor said I asked to pastor then pastor said you pray you fast and pray then you will also get so I just saved this and I just started praying praying saying praying so I started crying so I started crying I'm not able to stand I tried many times but I'm not able to say just I opened my eyes when I opened my eyes so so that time I could see the full of room it's filled from cloud so I was sitting when I went that time bed was there that time pictures was there that time uh roof was there one of the in that room so that time and just I'm not able to like properly just like it's blurred fully so I just opened my eyes and I'm not able to not able to stand not able to like move here and there so I just saw full of cloud okay so that time I just a little I just get up and fell down again and I started crying I started so much crying everyone came what happened what happened what happened everyone my film like my father mother brothers all they came and they they just what happened they killed what happened they killed just I was crying loudly and I started praying in terms so it was like after that I I discussed with pastor I thought I would have phone I think so but that time I'm not able to like I'm not able to do anything like I just started crying and I could see the full of clouds only in the room nothing else only clouds okay so that day only I got praying this gift okay so you got the gift also on that day it's like um like how rushing mighty win that manifestation and then they started freaking in tongues if if like I'm sharing that day about what happened it's still now I could feel the like I can feel the presence of it still now yeah that's a very amazing it's happened yes yes yeah praise god so thanks for sharing Nikhil you know this is how God encounters us and we can desire it and ask for it now just one question I think with that we can wrap up why is it that we don't ask for the glory for the presence we're not prepared for it okay because we have assignments okay oh okay fine hindrances so the same points apply to this ignorance maybe sometimes it's ignorance know that we don't know yeah yeah yes yes yes yeah ignorance sometimes yeah yeah so there was a whole conference that Christian leaders conference that happens in January on the theme the presence of God only that the presence of God so for three days past a dot on the presence of God can you imagine like how much content to experience the presence to experience the glory to manifest the supernatural so there's a lot you can go study read that book apc publication the presence of God presence of God Lord I want this yeah yeah could be could be so but you know when we realize that this is available we start desiring it we give second place to other things yeah so once pastor shared during that five days of fasting and prayer no here in the bible college only we had it not last year pre-covid this was so all the people were praying and he has this habit of walking and praying no so he was walking in one corner and I think he could smell fragrance he could smell fragrance near one of the windows so you nobody was there in that side nobody only he was walking alone and I think he called one of the pastors he said come here come here can you smell something you know I maybe they also did there was one smell no one had gone to that corner but there was a certain smell in that corner a fragrant beautiful smell what do we read we read in Ephesians you know Christ the aroma of God the aroma of God so when so then we can expect when Jesus and his presence is there the aroma of God a beautiful smell manifested that day so these are all things that really it's beautiful but on the other side know somewhere people don't like the concept like why do you want to go after manifestations but if God wants to manifest let him manifest no it is life changing why not so these are the matters regarding presence and glory okay sure so coming back to our portions here I think I should be able to complete it there's only two more sections actually persistence and the next one is preparation personal preparation okay so what we will do is we'll go through it we have two more classes and if if required just one which one pursuit yeah we can cover it easily it's not a problem personal preparation and pursuit it'll it'll be done okay so if required only one recorded lecture I'll put to summarize it so that we can do more questions in the class oh yeah okay okay fine so let's do this the remaining chapters okay I'll just maybe in two two recordings I can cover it so two recordings I'll just cover and post it before next Friday and the next class you guys just do questions by on the 24th why what is happening afternoon no no yeah 24th is technically the last day yeah but I mean it's okay if you if you finish everything there's no need to have another class I just thought if you have questions I don't mind no no no we have we have 24th we have yeah yeah we have okay fine first let's record and then we will next class anyway let's do questions complete questions oh I'm so scared to come only third year class no one more set yeah it's quite a lot a lot of possibilities in your class okay anyway for now the plan is two sessions videos have to be done before your next class then we'll do questions in your next Friday okay fine so let's close with the word of prayer yeah I would like to request one of you Father God we thank you we we love you Lord we praise you Father Father help us to really walk in your ways in your glory Lord help us to know that you're willing and you will do it for us each one of us Lord help us to flow in your glory and your presence Lord help us to be very cautiously remind ourselves to walk every day with your presence Lord in Jesus' name we pray amen amen amen thank you thank you everyone God bless

And in the complete training for the mission, I was told that he had a weightlessness surgery. I understand that on that trip, he was the only one who could be a second. I think that's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. That's right. He feels that it's time that somebody that a real company in the United States is spinning. I think that's a good idea. I'll talk to him about that. Ready? He's going to do that. He's going to do that. Thank you. Appreciate it. Great. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Well, thank you all for being here. Nancy and I want to welcome you all to the White House for this happy occasion. On days like this and at lunches like this, I find myself looking up and thinking what a wonderful job I have. We're here today to present the Medal of Freedom to seven Americans. This medal is the highest civilian honor our nation can bestow. And I've always thought it highly significant that we call it not the Medal of Talent or the Medal of Valor or the Medal of Courage or Genius, but the Medal of Freedom. I think that says a lot about our values and what we honor and what we love. Freedom is important to all of us. As someone who's spent many years making speeches, I've quoted many definitions of freedom. Some very moving and eloquent. But I've always liked George Orwell's blunt and unadorned statement. He said freedom is the right to say no. There's something kind of happily rebellious about that definition. And I thought of it this morning because I decided this year's recipients of the Medal of Freedom are distinguished by this. You're a group of happy rebels. In your careers and in the way you've lived your lives, you've all said no. A most emphatic no. To mediocrity. To averageness. To timidity. You've said no to the rules of the game and the regulations of the day. You've said no to the conventional wisdom. No to the merely adequate. Limits and limitations on yourselves and others. But it's probably true that there's little point to freedom unless it's accompanied by a big yes. And each of you has uttered a resounding Whitman-esque yes to many things. To excellence and risk and reach. To courage and the untried and the supposedly impossible. You've rebelled against the artificial and embraced the authentic. You've achieved a great deal and your creativity itself has been life affirming. For creation is a profoundly faithful act missed me. An act that says I trust in the future and I trust in life itself. You're all originals. You've all made America better.  And this today is just our way of saying thanks. And without further ado I'm going to read the citations for the medals now and award them to the recipients. Walter Hubert Annenberg Following a brilliant career in publishing and pioneering the use of television for educational purposes Walter Hubert Annenberg was in 1969 appointed ambassador to the court of St. James where he served with extraordinary diligence bringing the governments and people of the United States and United Kingdom closer together Since returning to private life Walter Annenberg has devoted himself to the development of higher education and has provided support to countless institutions. Today our nation repays his lifetime of achievement with its gratitude. Walter We're pleased and proud. Earl Henry Blake A soldier of the gridiron Colonel Earl Red Blake led the West Point team he coached to the history books. He rallied the Black Knights from a record of devastating defeats and carried them on to some of their greatest victories winning the esteem of his cadet players and the admiration of his vanquished rivals. One of America's great coaches he brought a winning spirit to his team honored to his branch of service and pride to his nation. And Red here you go and well deserved. Barry Morris Goldwater Well, soldier and statesman Barry Morris Goldwater stood at the center of American history. Respected by both ally and adversary Barry Goldwater's celebrated candor and patriotism have made him an American legend. Hailed as a prophet before his time selfless in the service of his nation Barry Goldwater has earned the unbounded affection and admiration of his countrymen and the enduring gratitude for all future generations of America. And here you go Mr. Conservatives and Helen Hayes I can't resist pointing out that Helen was married to a happy rebel named Charlie MacArthur a wonderful playwright and a man of natural style and Helen today I was remembering your story knowing just a minute but to make you listen to a story when she first set eyes on Charlie it was at a party where he was eating from a bag of peanuts he looked at her and asked if she liked some peanuts and as he poured them into her hand he said I wish they were emeralds and years later as a famous and celebrated playwright he bought Helen what she'd asked for as an anniversary gift a handful of jewels and as he poured the emeralds into her hand you know what he said I wish they were peanuts Helen Hayes MacArthur they are admired but fewer beloved and fewer still are both but Helen Hayes is and has been for almost all the years of this century both peerless actress, peerless star she has excelled on stage, screen and television playing everything from virtuous young Angenous to Victorian Queens Helen Hayes is that rare thing a true original she is also demonstrably a great actress and a great soul Helen General Matthew B. Ridgway when a soldier rising sword in hand reaches to protect an idea, freedom liberty, human kindness the world is for a moment hushed greatness is often born in quiet, in stillness and so it was that night in June of 1944 when General Matthew B. Ridgway prayed the words Joshua I will not fail thee nor forsake thee D-Day saved a continent and so a world and Ridgway helped save D-Day Heroes come when they are needed great men step forward when courage seems in short supply World War II was such a time and there was Ridgway General thank you and God bless you not anymore for over half a century as a journalist, author and teacher Vermont Royster illuminated the political and economic life of our times his common sense exploded the pretensions of quote expert opinion unquote and his compelling eloquence warned of the evils of society loosed from its moorings in faith the voice of the American people can be heard in his prose open, proud and free Vermont congratulations to you and to the rest of New England Albert Bruce Sabin when as a boy Albert Bruce Sabin came to the United States from Russia and no one could have known that he would number among the most prominent immigrants of our century from an early age Sabin devoted his life to medicine and by the 1950s his research had resulted in a breakthrough years since the Sabin vaccine has helped to make dramatic advances against the scourge of poliomyelitis this medal is awarded to Dr. Sabin on behalf of a proud nation and a grateful world doctor thank you there's nothing to add to achievements such as these and no praise that can add any more lustre to these great names may I say to you simply to all of you thank you just for being doing what you've done and what you do thank you all God bless you


Hey everybody I'm Lance Coyke and in this video I want to give you kind of a minimalist guide to kitchenware This is the the absolute minimum amount of things that I think you should buy if you want to cook healthy But not have too much clutter around your house So the first thing that I wanted to talk about was a non-stick pan I get a pretty big one because I cook a lot of food The these things are great because you don't need a whole lot of oil to keep the food from sticking and they're a lot Easier to clean they're not great because they don't last very long even when you take care of them It's very important to do two things when you're using them one is to not Use too much heat Too much heat starts to loosen the the non-stick particles off of the the pan and then you start to get this damage that lasts forever These pans usually only stay pretty good for about six months And then the other thing you need to not do is don't put anything steel on it because that stuff is much Harder than the Teflon or that the non-stick coating that's on it So it damages it it'll pull it right off you if you're like if you like put a knife and you cut something directly on it It the pan is totally ruined It just it really snowballs after that and that that cut really opens up more wounds afterwards So first thing non-stick pan second thing We're gonna take care of that non-stick pan is some sort of plastic or soft spoon You could do a wooden thing too, but I I feel like the plastic ones I really like for something like eggs, which I make every day This one's nice because it's gonna be softer than the Teflon here or the non I don't know if it's actually Teflon the non-stick coating.  I'm gonna take it off the heat stir them some more And I can use this a lot on this pan, but still not damage it So this is great and it works well even for some other pans That she might use for example I this one's kind of not a must-have But super useful if you need to do something a little bit smaller like this is a great size for Rice for you know one to even four people for a meal Or you could cook beans or something in it. This is a great size, especially good if it comes with the lid So a pot a small pot Super important a big skillet is also super important now You can get the rimmed up one like this or you could get more of a traditional skillet where it's a little bit wider I tend to like this more Solely because it catches some of the splash. So I'm usually cooking with high heat on a steel Super hard just like that other pot. They're steel They're not gonna warp too hard if I don't overheat them And if I don't cool them with water as soon as I'm done cooking with them Okay, so if I'm gonna take care of my skillets or my pots. I need to make sure that I'm not Forcing them through extremes of heat. They've got to have time to resettle into their original shape So just make sure that you're not pouring water at all or cold water Especially onto this as soon as you're done cooking if it's got a lot of stuff that's caked on you can do that a little bit You can put a little bit on there And then you can put it back on the pan or on the stove here Heat it all up and it'll start to loosen those particles. It'll even create some kind of like a soup That might taste good. I guess I've never tried it, but it looks kind of gross You're gonna you sit it there and then you can just let it cool down with that water in there That'll loosen the particles up make cleaning a lot easier. Also, you can watch my cleaning video where I scrub this pan so Those those are like like great super useful the last super useful pots pans category is a big pot If you're gonna make something like a chili or a soup you just you need the volume somehow This is a good size. You're not gonna cook for 70 people Something like this like this is not a great stock pot necessarily because it's not huge It's hard to get some of it, you know like a chicken carcass in here, but it works And this is more of an all-purpose like if I'm only gonna buy one giant pot. It's gonna be something like this about this size It's the same lid it's a standard size for the stove and it's the same lid that works for my skillet So standard large stuff Then if we're oven cooking you can put one of the beauty thing beautiful things like I can sear Some meat on here and then I could sear the other side and I don't want to overcook it I don't want to get super tough, but I need the I don't want to you know burn the outsides I want a nice sear nice cook a nice flavor, but I don't want to burn it So what do I do if I still need to cook it? Well, I just I cook something on here I get the sear and then I throw it in the oven then the oven will Kind of slowly heat that allows the heat to kind of draw to the inside and fully cook whatever you're trying to eat Speaking of oven, we've got a nice sheet pan here I like I mean if you're only gonna if you're being super minimalist You're only gonna buy one and I would probably buy the big one so you could do a lot of vegetable volume in bulk These are pretty cheap though, and you might even just get two in the package So that can be super useful if you're especially if you're trying to like prep food for the week Super useful roasting vegetables Last thing that I have over here not the last thing in general A cutting board now it's got to be wood or plastic because we're gonna talk about our knives here in a second But we want to keep them sharp We want to take care of them if you cut on marble or glass the marbling It's just like the non-stick pan right the marble or the glass is harder than the fragile edge of the knife And so it really dulls the knife and it can even like chip it away So if you're gonna if you're gonna be super minimalist about this You're only gonna buy one real chef's knife, and we're gonna have to take care of it So this is step number one of taking care of it. This would probably be my my pick for you We have this oxo. I think it's good grips Cutting board as well. This one's super good. It's very light It's plastic if you don't mind the plastic look or whatever then that works We have this other one that you can see behind here. That's wood It's super thick super heavy and kind of hard to clean It's great if I'm doing really high volume work, but if I'm only gonna have one cutting board You're gonna want it to be this size. So this is about I Don't know 17 inches. I think diagonally Maybe it's 11 by 17.  So having a dedicated pair is great These are super expensive, but they're like the best thing that I've ever purchased So if you're trying to be frugal about it, don't get this but these are shun Kitchen shears and they came in a set. I should show you the other one There's another this is smaller a little bit more You know the fine-tuned to work. This is good for herb stuff.  Just get some generic kitchen shears. Okay Doesn't have to be too crazy next now Let's say the knives for last so Cooking utensil thing so I mentioned the This plastic spoon this is good for not damaging stuff this skillet thing has a plastic rim That's also good if I need to you know a skillet to flip stuff This is this is actually pretty good because it's not gonna damage your pans even not just the non-stick ones But the steel ones they can be damaged too, and they're just not gonna last as long so you want to take care of them Other things wood is softer so I can use this as well now the issue with these things is one this one It's got this this rim of the plastic and food gets stuck in there. It's really hard to clean I don't use this very often But if I just avoid having a skillet, so if you don't or What is this called? I just avoid having a flipper. Whatever they call this Spatula there we go So I don't really use a spatula very often if you feel you need one get one like this though. I Use the spoon the most the plastic spoon the most But if I need to brown meat this spoon will just collapse because it's super plastic and it bends So it doesn't work for something like that. It's great for my eggs But if I need to put some umph Into my pan or into my food at this wooden one that works super well They're not gonna last forever, but it's holding up pretty well even though it's you know been exposed to all the heat I haven't burnt it too bad and all the liquids, you know, they kind of get in there You can put some oil on this to kind of keep it together. I do that with a cutting board That's a good way to keep your cutting board lasting a pretty long time And then last let's talk about knives, so you really only need one knife I'm gonna talk about four different knives that I've tried Let's do this So first you need you don't need a small one if you're careful But something like this is super great to have this was like $5 on Amazon. It's a victorinox knife They make some really sharp metal It feels kind of cheap and but you know it is cheap and it performs super well So I would just get if you only need one tiny knife even you know you and your spouse can share a knife Like that's that's pretty minimalist. You could get one like this We also got a set of four of these are like steak knives from victorinox. I think they were about $25 and they're a bunch of different colors, which is super fun They don't look you know, they don't look like the nicest knives in the world, but they are sharp and they're serrated So it can help you get through some tougher stuff Problem with serrated stuff is it doesn't sharpen very well So for high-use primary knives like it once this is dole, you're probably just gonna throw it away Which is why we've got this big boy over here, but let's first talk about this So I need one major. This is kind of like the biggest thing. I need one major knife for preparing vegetables Generally, it's gonna be something like this. You could do a Santoku style too, which is a little bit more rectangular But I like the chef's knife because I can rock when I'm cutting and I can pull when I'm cutting I don't have to just do this kind of chopping motion and then I don't push the blade so hard into the cutting board Blade stays sharp a little bit longer. This is a victorinox brand again. I think this was like 30 bucks. Maybe This is super sharp and works really well if you're gonna buy so again our whole idea here Minimalist if you're gonna buy only one knife you need it to be sharp It sounds dangerous to have a sharp knife because then it can cut right through your finger But it's actually safer because once you learn how to use the knife now when it's sharp You can rely on it to do what you're expecting it to do instead of getting caught on something and then slipping off Which is what happened because I let my My brain wander and I let my knife get dull. So keep them sharp And then you won't cut your nail So the victorinox one is a huge Recommendation I'll put that in the description below along with the other stuff that I can find here If you are not trying to be frugal and you want a knife that's gonna last forever I would get something like this. So I like the shun style the SHUN this is the shun classic eight inch chef's knife I had a seven inch one that I tried and I gave it to my parents and then I bought a new one Or I had them by me. They went This works super well eight inches a really good size if you're a giant you can get the ten If you're pretty petite you might actually like the seven inch more I know my mom likes a seven inch more actually big things are Again, it's this hardness scale So we're cutting on a wood or a plastic board and that's still gonna round over the edge It's not gonna be super sharp and so you'll see people with these sticks of steel. They're honing steels They'll recommend that you get one of those to keep the the blade Oriented towards where you're cutting so it it doesn't actually sharpen it because when you sharpen stuff It takes the steel away, but what it does is it just hones the blade so that you know When you sharpen something it makes this little triangle shape and when you use it it starts to bend over It doesn't cut direct straight through stuff quite as well So the honing steel just keeps it into that nice point. It does make it sharper It is worth probably getting if you're gonna invest in the knife like this that nice about a hundred dollars the Honing steel is something similar So what it's got is it's got this little cutout on the base at the base of the handle here and all you do is you line up the dull part of the blade the top part of the blade onto the This cutout part of the base of the steel and then I just try to keep it there And I'm pulling the blade along that Once you can maintain that angle. This is telling you hey we sharpen our knives at this angle This is the angle that you want your the tip of the blade to be pointing towards right, so Just do something like that doesn't need a whole lot of pressure Hard part for me is going the other way. So I have to flip this over do the same thing on the other side This is like the awkward way to do it if you're super good You do it nice and fast and then you'll notice on the steel It's got this rough edges, and then it's got these soft edges So this is to get your angle if I need more honing from the steel I will then get my angle and then I'll rotate to a rough edge, and then I'll pull it along And this just helps keep the knife Nice and sharp from day-to-day use.  They're super cheap And I know that I'm gonna be cutting on our glass plates our ceramic plates So it's gonna dull this knife I don't I'm not gonna pass this around and I'm not gonna pre-cut everybody's food every time So I'm gonna just use something cheap, and we just we use it, and then we try to be nice about it The other way to keep your knives nice and sharp is if you can you put the tip down and then you pull through the food instead of pushing down and compressing the blade onto the cutting surface, and then I you'll see I store it in this cardboard thing they Sir Latab Sharpen this knife for me, and then they put it in this and I was just like well It seems like a good idea to keep it in there The other thing that I have is just a shelf here for the knife So everything has a home, and it all knows where to go That's our our bare minimum though Like if it it's gonna be a couple hundred bucks depending on what you do What you get pots and pans like if you get a whole set of stuff That's where you're spending most of your money So if you can get just the pieces it might make sense Or if you know you might just spend 50 more bucks and get a bunch of other pots that well You know it'll come with a steamer or whatever and that will make things easier on you So do your own pricing price price stuff out But this is the stuff that I like this is the stuff that I use pretty much every day And this is the stuff that I'd recommend if you want to get as little as possible But still start to cook your own food and take control of your health Thanks for watching if you learned something hit the like button and subscribe to be notified when I release new videos if you need something else to watch I've got a mobility circuit Playlist that's got a bunch of follow-along videos where we just go through some exercises that kind of loosen your body up or You know if you want more cooking type stuff check out that playlist


Forget what you're seeing on social media, I'm telling you. My mentor used to say, Ty, it takes the average millionaire 12 to 20 years, and so a lot of people are seeing social media and you see a kid who's 21 years old and they're a millionaire and they're like, I started last week or last month or last year, like that's not the real story. So your finances is something that comes in order over time. And even then you can make a mistake.  Like I was saying yesterday, fortune is a fickle mistress.

Hi, folks. This is Dr. Don. I have a problem out of Chapter 7 where we're doing single sample test of apothesis. Now this particular problem is about a politician claiming that the mean salary for managers in his state is more than a national meat of any 2000. You should pick up pretty quickly that that is the claim because it says the politician claims. And in that claim is this critical phrase there is more than. More than is, of course, a greater than symbol, which is a form of inequality, therefore that means this claim is the alternative apothesis. We're given the population standard deviation of $8,400. And in our course and in many intrastats courses when you're given the population standard deviation, Sigma, that means you use the Z distribution. We're given the significance level of .01 and asked to test the claim. We're given a lot of raw data there. Remember, if you're in my stat lab, you can click on the little blue triangle over here and open this data directly in stat crunch, Excel, or you can copy it and paste it where you want. I'm going to open it in Excel. Okay. I have Excel open. I've got the data in column D over here and I've entered some information. The assumed population mean mu is $82,000. Sigma is $8,400. Alpha is .01. We've got the null and the alternative stated. I always think that's important to do. The alternative is that the mean is greater than $82,000 as the claim. Here's the sketch that I think you should always draw. Remember, we had a normal distribution for the population whose mean is $82,000. Because this is a right tail test, the alternative is the claim with pointing to the right, that means our X bar is probably over here on the right side and we need this area in the right tail. Now, we're going to use stat crunch to do it. I'm going to go over here to the menu. I've got stat crunch install and I've got a video showing you how to do that. I'm going to look over here. We want a one sample test and in the dropdown, we want the Z test for the mean, sigma known, which is exactly what we want. Brings up a dialog box. Our null hypothesis is $82,000. Our level of significance is .01. The standard deviation of the population, $8,400. Now we don't know the summary statistics, but we have the raw data. We click there. We don't have a label in the first cell. I'm going to click in that box and then I'm going to highlight my data. Now, down here, we need to select the options. This is an upper tail test and I'm not going to worry about labeling. I'm going to click OK and PHTAT gives us the solution here. It gives us a new worksheet that it enters. There's our data again, $82,000 for the mean, alpha .01, sigma $8,400, sample size of 30, sample mean X bar 84, 439. We get the standardized test statistic 1.59 and they give us a critical value, which we don't need because we're going to use the p-value approach. But in both cases, you can see that the standardized test statistic is less than the upper critical value. Therefore, that means it's non-significant and we would fail to reject. And of course, our p-value is .056, which is much greater than our alpha .01. So again, that tells us we failed to reject the null. PHTAT is a pretty handy tool to get. I would recommend you try it out. Hope this helps.


There's a pretty serious mental health issue that you're probably struggling with and you don't even realize it. And the problem is that this is affecting your relationships with people around you and there's something you can do about it. And this mental health issue is called Black and White Thinking. What is up everybody? This is Chris from the Rewired Soul where we talk about the problem but focus on the solution.  So if you would like to improve your mental and emotional well-being, make sure you subscribe and hit that notification bell. But this is a video that I've had planned for a long time and I've been waiting for the right opportunity to do it. And right now with all of the drama going on in the YouTube world as well as in pop culture in general, there is no better time than now to talk about Black and White Thinking. Now some of you might have heard of this, okay? Black and White Thinking which is also known as Splitting is a symptom of a mental illness called borderline personality disorder. And if you ask anybody who has borderline personality disorder about their black and white thinking and how it affects their relationships, they can tell you how awful it is. But they're one step ahead of you because they actually acknowledge it. Now, hold up, hold up, hold up. I'm not saying that you have BPD but what fascinates me about BPD is that a lot of people have one or maybe two of these symptoms. In order to have BPD, you need something like five or six of the symptoms or more to be diagnosed. But so many people have symptoms of it and they don't realize it and any of these symptoms can really hurt you, okay? So I think it's important that we talk about it.    So black and white thinking or splitting is when you have a person in your life, right? Or you see a person and they are in one of two categories. They are all good or they are all bad. And this can be very harmful to relationships. Say, for example, it's your mom.  Your mom gave birth to you. She does everything for you. All sorts of stuff. She is just the best person on earth. But then your mom does something that you don't like that you disagree with. She didn't give you that thing that you wanted. Now, she has gone from this perfect person over to this other category and she is the worst, most terrible, awful person, okay? Same thing could be with your boyfriend or your girlfriend. They're so loving, caring, affectionate, all these other things. But one day they do something and they've gone from the best person you know to the worst person you know, okay? And this type of thinking where people are in one of two categories at any given moment, it hurts relationships because we get, we have this emotional outrage and these outbursts and we just lash out.  Because we see this happening all over the internet.  These are people with massive followings, a ton of fans. I love you so much. Thank you for the art that you put out. Thank you for helping me when I'm bored or just want to be entertained or thank you for helping me learn how to apply my makeup or which beauty products are the best. Thank you so much. And then it's like oh you did what?  Like I still have this sign up right behind me that just says empathy and like this is something that I struggled with for a very long time and I couldn't I didn't have healthy relationships with people. People were either all good or all bad and like it made me very lonely and made me very angry because I was constantly pushing people away because I couldn't see that gray area and like something I just want you to think about is if this is affecting you like how do we get in that gray area and like this empathy like how would I want to be treated? You know what I mean? Like I am more forgiving than most and the reason being is I have a terrible past. If you followed me on my channel for a while or if you're new here and you've been binge watching some of my content you get little bits and pieces of my story and the things I've done to other people and hurt people like I worked really hard to be forgiven. So it's not fair of me to not forgive others. You know what I'm saying? But the reality is is that we need to realize that people are not all good or all bad in most scenarios. Sure there are the outliers, the people who are purely evil but we can't keep classifying people by like specific instances. Good people can do bad things okay? Just because a person did a bad thing does not mean they're a bad person and this is also something like you might be struggling with it with yourself too. You might look at yourself in a black and white way right? You might think that you're all good or all bad. You are not a bad person. Maybe you did a bad thing but you're not a bad person. You know how I know that? Because you feel guilty about it.  If you have a conscience about something you did clearly you're not bad because something inside of you knows that that thing was wrong and the great thing is is like that guilt that is an internal alarm system going off that says you need to do better. You need to be better. So like it breaks my heart just seeing how like there's these like social media mobs that just go after and attack people for stuff they did like we need to give people a chance and I'm not gonna get into a huge rant in this video but like when I see people judging all these apologies and stuff and I know I make videos on how to apologize but I've seen a few apologies lately that seemed pretty legit and I'm just sitting there I was actually talking with my girlfriend today I'm like I wonder what people would have wanted to hear like what would have been satisfactory to them like if there was a checklist of how to apologize what would be on that list maybe that will be a fun experiment down in the comments below because I've been watching and I've seen people do it one way and still get backlash I've seen people do it another way still get backlash I'm sitting I'm like it's just lose lose but in most scenarios we got to speak louder with our actions rather than words and to be honest nobody's gonna be forgiven right away they have to prove with their actions and I really hope you guys are subscribed to my channel because about seven or eight months ago I did a video about Logan Paul after that whole forest incident and I was like yo we gotta see if he's gonna change and I have some thoughts about that we've given him some time and we gotta talk about did he change did he learn something but anyways black and white thinking can really screw up our relationships and like this isn't just about like you freaking out and unfollowing somebody or unsubscribing for somebody it's not that like how is this affecting your relationships with your parents with your friends with your family with your significant other with your children how is it affecting you in those ways like we really gotta start thinking about this stuff and working on our mental health so we can build healthier relationships learn how to forgive people and learn that hey people screw up but you know we need to forgive them for their past and see if they can grow into a better person yeah it sucks that sometimes people have to lose hundreds of thousands of subscribers to really get that kick in the butt but if we don't hit some kind of rock bottom we're never going to change so I'm glad that some of these people are going through these scenarios and I will be keeping track of them to see if they actually learn from this and improve as a person all right but something else I want to talk about down in the comments below do you struggle with black and white thinking let's have a conversation all right but that's all I got for you so if you like this video please give it a thumbs up and if you're new to my channel again feel free to subscribe ring that notification bell because I make a ton of videos to help you out with your mental health and a huge thank you to everybody supporting the channel over on patreon you help me on a daily basis spread a message of hope to people all right so anyways if you want to check out some more content you can click or tap right there that's all I got thanks again for watching get rid of your black and white thinking and I'll see you next time


We had never responded to something like this before. We knew we would have to take risks because people's lives were on the line. And they were depending on what we would do next. We had begun the year hearing of this pandemic that was occurring in the Far East. COVID-19 continues to spread worldwide. Life on lockdown. If they find sort of one person who tests positive, suddenly these cruise ships need a place to go. In the midst of this uncertainty, that's when I got the call. We were just notified that the grand princess has possible cases of COVID-19. As soon as she said it, you're trained. It's like, okay, this is go time. Medical supplies were delivered, but it wasn't enough. And we knew that as we were getting reports of medical distress for passengers on board, that we were gonna have to launch our ready-cutter, the Coast Guard-cutter turn to affect the medical evacuation. We knew that this was the beginning as there are other cruise ship ports around the United States, especially the port of Miami. So far, every port in the ship's path has shut down, refusing to let the Zondam dock. It seemed as though every ship that came in, and there were about 125 of them, had different challenges, had different levels of COVID-like illness or COVID-positive patients on board. Our plan really was to communicate openly with one another as partners, to leverage each of our authorities so that when the cruise ships came in, we could get them home safely. Turn was able to medivac four personnel from the grand princess and also transfer several doctors and medical supplies to the grand princess. It felt good to be at the center of that, flying that flag, coming back into the bay, knowing that everyone was watching, knowing that we were able to help all these people. As a unified command, it was determined that the port of Oakland had the space, had the security that would be able to carry out the safety and parkation of the passengers. I spent an awful lot of time in government and I struggled to find another agency who could, as well as we did as a Coast Guard, engage our partners in our community and really help curate the emotion of the moment to help our community, our Coast Guard and our nation through this crisis. I just, I couldn't be prouder of the work we've all done together.
